To develop performance cars, automakers depend on fundamental analysis, but it's the test tracks and road courses that bring out the best in a vehicle. The collection of roadways assembled at the 90-year-old Milford Proving Ground has more than 140 miles covering parts of two Michigan counties.
General Motors will invest $200 million in its Orion Assembly and Pontiac Metal Center plants to prepare for a future vehicle program.
General Motors will start construction on a $63-million expansion of the Lansing Delta Township facility, part of the nearly $300 million in Michigan-based investments that GM CEO Mary Barra referenced in a speech Tuesday at the Detroit Economic Club.
In 18 months, the durability team at General Motors' Milford Proving Ground can put a vehicle through an entire lifecycle. Durability tests are long, repetitive and physically demanding.
General Motors' new 2.2 megawatt ground-mounted solar array will be complete by the end of 2014 at its Lordstown Complex, home of the Chevrolet Cruze. When the last of more than 8,500 solar panels are in place, it will be GM's largest solar installation in the Western Hemisphere.
More than 125 Chevrolet and GMC dealer representatives came to the new home of the Colorado and Canyon midsize pickup trucks today to personally take delivery of their first orders.
General Motors' Toledo Transmission plant today received a national pollution prevention award for successful efforts to reduce its impact on the environment.
General Motors will add a third shift at its Wentzville Assembly plant, creating an estimated 750 new jobs, to build the all-new Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickups and Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans.
General Motors will invest $185 million to make small gas engines at its Spring Hill manufacturing complex, retaining 390 jobs. GM also identified the next-generation Cadillac SRX as a future mid-size vehicle to be produced at Spring Hill.
When the General Motors Milford Proving Ground opened in 1924 – 90 years ago this October – engineers lacked advanced tools and technology for safety testing. Judging from this video, some might say the only crash test dummies back then were human.
Chevrolet Traverse customers list its family-friendly third-row seat as one of their favorite features – and it's a reason the midsize SUV was named by Kelley Blue Book as one of KBB.com's 12 Best Family Cars of 2014.
LORDSTOWN, Ohio – General Motors is investing $50 million for a new flexible Trim Shop and upgrades to the Press Room at the Lordstown Complex for the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze compact sedan.
DETROIT – In preparation for the next generation of electric vehicles and advanced battery technologies, General Motors will invest $449 million to upgrade manufacturing processes at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly and Brownstown Battery Assembly plants.
PARMA, Ohio – General Motors will invest $14 million at the Parma Metal Center in Northeast Ohio to support the installation of a progressive press that can eventually be used for both die tryout and regular parts production.
MORAINE, Ohio – DMAX, Ltd., will invest $60 million to make design changes that meet future emissions requirements. The investment retains approximately 500 jobs at the joint venture between General Motors and Isuzu.
General Motors Chairman Tim Solso announced today that Erroll Davis Jr. would not be standing for re-election to the GM Board of Directors at the company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2015. Davis joined the board in 2009.

Magical Menorca
... quirky streets. Many of these streets were so small you could touch each side with less than outstretched arms.
So our European diversion draws to a close as we fly back to the UK and after landing at Manchester we will be headed to Blackpool. This all seemed like a good idea at the time but at least we have been used to getting fish and chips or a full English breakfast during our time in Spain so hopefully all will be fine in the northwest tourist resort.
Day 39
... massive bruise on her bum. We continued around the island looking at caves, waterholes and private beaches. Fighting the wind to get back to the beach we realised we were to late and missed bus home so we got to spend a little more time at the beach then a massive hike up to the bus stop. We walked home getting pizza/pasta on the way then played drinking games for the rest of the ...
Day 38
An early morning to get on the bus at 7:25am heading to Barcelona airport. After a maccas breakfast we boarded the plane for Menorca. The taxi dropped us at our hotel and we headed for lunch as the room wasn't ready. An hour later we took our bags to our room then met all of our new tour friends and went to a local waterhole for a swim. Back ...

We wake to clear blue skies, and it's lovely and warm as we walk up to the bus station for the final time. We catch the 09.45 bus for the ten minute ride to the airport. Menorca has been great and we buy a book on walks around the island, The Cami de Cavalls. ...

There's plenty of time before the bus at 20.00 so we stop for a drink at a hotel bar overlooking the beaches before wandering along the new promenade back to the bus stop. Back in Mahon we return to the cafe we found on the first day for drinks and tapas. A nightcap in the Mirador before returning to the ...

Luxury leather goods retailer Bally recently sent over pictures of their Spring 2014 collection, which bubbles over with straw infused pumps and bags, two toned flats, and flirty sandals.
You'll definitely be Riviera ready in comfortable two toned penny loafers or signature driving flats. Stow all your essentials in net detailed bags.
Perhaps most intriguing are the brand's Petras bags, which are crafted by latticing together finely cut pieces of calf leather to create a striking 3 D effect.
I'm also here for the smart pumps, which would work well as a jazzy pop in a more corporate environment.
My chic execs: this is definitely for you!
I like all of this for office wear. I'm graduating soon and want to be able to mix it up a little once I start working in a true office environment where the uniforms aren't provided. The pumps are amazing. Any look for less options?
OMG! Everything looks so beautiful!
Not really..
that red croco bag… me wantey
I want everything. I have a few pieces from Bally my mom gave me when I turned 18, and she bought them when she was 18; they have stood the test of time, including the shoes!!

how to clean : white vinyl siding?
Is there any good way to make white vinyl siding look nice & clean again? Had white vinyl put on several years ago & despite cleaning it with soap & water the white still looks dull, 'greyish'!
Can vinyl siding be painted? Wish it would get nice & white again!
I googled power washing alum siding and came up with this. I think the printed version is below the video. It is very important to wash from above so water doesn't get in the seems.
Here is a link that might be useful: Power washing alum
There was a story in the Washington post that realtors in Maryland were calling the greyness a "patina" and using it as a selling point.
Here is a link to power washing VINYL siding. How to Pressure Wash Vinyl Siding

NY Times Really Concerned About Newest "Die Hard" Movie And Link To Gun Violence
Here's Joe Nocera writing an op-ed for the NY Tomes, The 'Die Hard' Quandry, in which he's really, really concerned
Later this week, the fifth installment of the "Die Hard" movies is scheduled to open in theaters across the country. "A Good Day to Die Hard" stars, once again, Bruce Willis as John McClane, a too-stubborn-for-his-own-good cop who has to stop a highly trained army of bad guys out to wreak destruction and death. It will undoubtedly be a giant hit for Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, the owner of the "Die Hard" franchise.
Oh, that's why, due to News Corp being the Big Company putting the movie out (Twentieth Century Fox). No one at the Times was particularly concerned about the other extremely violent movies, such as Django Unchained, but, if it is a Rupert Murdoch owned movie? Concern!
That's a lot of "Die Hard." Among the guns used – and used, and used, and used – in just the first "Die Hard" are a Steyr AUG assault rifle, a Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun, and a Walther PPK pistol with silencer. McClane himself relies on a Beretta 92 semiautomatic pistol in the first three movies, and a Sig Sauer P220 in the more recent films. (He also favors the bald look in the last two movies.)
Most of those guns are already banned for private ownership as long as they are automatic. Silencers are against the law. And I guess people who are bald are supposed to be scary, mean, and violent.
But, in all fairness, Mr. Nocera does bring his Fox Derangement Syndrome to an end (mostly). One thing he points out is that the MPAA is more concerned with language than violence (and think about this with the Die Hard franchise: the movies do tend to be cartoonish in regards to people getting shot. Boom, dead, no big bullet holes, no big screams, barely any blood from being shot) and that Hollywood doesn't want to take any responsibility
…"There is tons of research on this," says Joanne Cantor, professor emerita of communications at the University of Wisconsin, and an expert on the effect of violent movies and video games. "Watching violence makes kids feel they can use violence to solve a problem. It brings increased feelings of hostility. It increases desensitization." Every parent understands this instinctively, of course, but those instincts are backed by decades of solid research.
When it comes to those who will truly act on the violence they witness and become extremely violent themselves there are typically other risk factors.
There is a second reason many people – indeed, many of the same people who would like to ban assault weapons – shrink from demanding changes in the culture's tolerance for violent images. To do anything about it legislatively would likely violate the First Amendment. Just as an assault weapon ban is the slippery slope for Second Amendment advocates, efforts to restrict violent images – or pornography, for that matter – is the slippery slope for First Amendment absolutists.
Well, yeah, but what Mr. Nocera misses is that most of the people making the games, movies, and TV shows with massive gun violence tend to vote Democrat and donate to Democrats, hence, left side agitators who have no problem infringing on the Second Amendment won't attempt to infringe on the 1st. Now, if the people making the violence were mostly on the right, the Lefties would be pushing for "common sense" legislation which "respects 1st Amendment Rights", ie, censorship. They have no problem doing this with religious rights right now.

A Fatal Likenessby Lynn Shepherd
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With The Solitary House, award-winning author Lynn Shepherd introduced readers to Charles Maddox, a brilliant private detective plying his trade on the gaslit streets of Dickensian London. Now, in this mesmerizing new novel of historical suspense, a mystery strikes disturbingly close to home—and draws Maddox into a world of literary legends, tormented souls, and a legacy of terrible secrets.
When his great-uncle, the master detective who schooled him in the science of "thief taking," is mysteriously stricken, Charles Maddox fears that the old man's breakdown may be directly related to the latest case he's been asked to undertake. Summoned to the home of a stuffy nobleman and his imperious wife, Charles finds his investigative services have been engaged by no less than the son of celebrated poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and his famed widow, Mary, author of the gothic classic Frankenstein. Approached by a stranger offering to sell a cache of rare papers allegedly belonging to the legendary late poet, the Shelley family seeks Maddox's aid in discovering whether the precious documents are authentic or merely the work of an opportunistic charlatan.
But the true identity of his quarry is only the first of many surprises lying in wait for the detective. Hardly a conniving criminal, Claire Clairmont is in fact the stepsister of Mary Shelley, and their tortured history of jealousy, obsession, and dark deceit looms large over the affair Maddox must untangle. So, too, does the shadow of the brilliant, eccentric Percy Shelley, who found no rest from the private demons that pursued him. With each new detail unearthed, the investigation grows ever more disturbing. And when shocking evidence of foul play comes to light, Maddox's chilling hunt for the truth leads him into the blackest reaches of the soul.
Steeped in finely wrought Victorian atmosphere, and rife with eye-opening historical revelations, A Fatal Likeness carries the reader ever deeper into a darkly magnetic tale of love and madness as utterly harrowing and heartbreaking as it is undeniably human.
Praise for A Fatal Likeness
"[Shepherd] takes the familiar story of the Shelley family and fills in the holes in the historical record by turning it into a clever, imaginative and literate mystery."—Kirkus Reviews
"Unforgettably chilling, A Fatal Likeness will haunt you long after you finish the last page."—New York Times bestselling author Tasha Alexander
"Maddox's brooding character and Shepherd's own voice . . . are both enthralling."—Booklist
"Charged with passion, betrayals and conspiracies, [A Fatal Likeness] more than restores Shelley's darker side, yet it is Mary you won't be able to forget."—Bloomberg
"Shepherd shines again in this superb Victorian thriller. . . . The novel works equally as a family story, a blend of horror and mystery, and a plausible hypothesis about why so many women and children associated with Shelley died mysterious deaths."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"As a piece of literary detective work, it's stimulating and hugely fun—even brilliant."—The Spectator
"A potent mixture of passion, intrigue, perversion, and betrayal, exploring the lives of Shelley, Byron, and their Romantic intimates through a Gothic lens."—Lyndsay Faye, author of The Gods of Gotham
"Shepherd shines again in this superb Victorian thriller, a follow-up to 2012's The Solitary House. A note from Sir Percy Shelley, son of the late Romantic poet, causes elderly Charles Maddox to have a fit of apoplexy. In the circumstances, Maddox's great-nephew and namesake, who's a private detective, responds to Sir Percy instead. The Shelley family hires the younger Maddox to prevent the poet's former lover, Claire Clairmont, from tarnishing his posthumous reputation. When Charles discovers that his great-uncle worked for the family more than 30 years before, on tasks now excised from his relative's meticulous case files, his quest takes on a personal urgency. Juxtaposing omniscient narration with discovered 'documents,' the story moves between 1850 London and the tortured ménage that created Frankenstein in 1818 Italy. The novel works equally as a family story, a blend of horror and mystery, and as a plausible hypothesis about why so many women and children associated with Shelley died mysterious deaths. Agent: Ben Mason, Fox Mason." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Credit: Jamie WeilandEx-Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland and veteran Southern rockers Molly Hatchet have been added to the entertainment lineup for the Swamp Fox Biker Bash in Marion, South Carolina, a motorcycle rally that runs May 8 to May 17. Weiland and his new band, The Wildabouts, will play a special May 13 concert to raise awareness about motorcycle safety and the dangers of drunk driving. Molly Hatchet will perform during the Biker Bash's May 16 festivities.
Other artists playing the Swamp Fox Biker Bash include The Marshall Tucker Band on May 14, Bret Michaels May 15, and Buckcherry on May 16. Tickets are available via Pledge Music. Weiland also teamed up with Pledge Music to release his debut album with The Wildabouts, Blaster, which will hit stores this Tuesday, March 31.
In other Scott Weiland news, the singer recently took to Facebook to apologize after he was rude to fans at a recent meet-and-greet following a concert in Boston.
"I would like to make a sincere apology to the fans that were at the meet and greet in Boston," he writes. "I'm embarrassed by my behavior and some of the things that I said."
As first reported by AlternativeNation.net, several fans took to the STP forum BelowEmpty.com to vent about their unpleasant experience at the meet-and-greet, saying that Weiland was disrespectful and seemed drunk.
"I put my all into the show that night and honestly was just beyond exhausted," Weiland continues in his apology. "Either way, I acted like a total a**hole and for that I'm truly sorry."

It's very funny, entering the challenge and all the unknowns about the final result. I start to make a short with not knowing what it is actually. When me and Nasko sat to think how to tell the story neither of us had an idea how it ends, the scenes changed several times each day.
The total time that I was able to spend during the week was roughly about 90 hours. The rest was spent for meal (mostly in front of the computer), shower and sleep.

I like a drink as much as the next guy, as long as the next guy isn't Mel Gibson.
How would i describe myself? Three words. Hard-working. Alpha male. Jackhammer...Merciless...Insatiable." -Dwight Schrute I don't tweet, so here are some thoughts just for you lucky ladies (and men i suppose...i see you guys stalking me too for some reason). 'Mc' and 'Premium' don't belong in the same sentence. I probably won't ever get a cup of McCafe Premium Roast Coffee...but I'll accept 7-11 in a bind. I've never played Risk, Uno, or Yahtzee, yet feel no regrets. I tend to put other people before myself. Case in point: I happily eat the mutant peanut M&M's. I feel nobody else will. They also have twice the peanut to chocolate ratio, which is clearly healthier. It's all about what's inside. I am the tallest person in my family, which REALLY isn't saying much. I get along best with east coaster's (New Yorker's especially). I enjoy fast talking and people who can comprehend fast talkers…as I tend to ramp up in speed when excited…and I'm quite excitable. I don't throw the dice too much when dancing…but when I do, you know they're coming up seven. I refer to all cute dogs as puppies, regardless of age. Unless they're those rare arthritic and smelly fuckers. I call them the dogs they are and wash my hands after giving them a thorough petting. The insanely ugly (one comes to mind) I treat extra special, see above M&M reasoning. I LOVE my career, yet often entertain the idea of switching to either a tram tour guide at Universal or a jungle cruise captain at Disneyland. I don't read my fortune until i eat the cookie even though they obviously don't come true (in bed). And compliments or random numbers do not a fortune make you lazy cookie makers. Ever since I discovered how to make iced coffee I abused said knowledge. I'm a lefty. Any time I read 'Come on!' I hear it in the voice of Gob Bluth. My dating life slowed once I realized what I'm looking for. I find it difficult to drive past a Menchies or Yogurtland and not stop. I'm not a dentist, but if I was I'd be the 1 out of 5 that never agrees with the other 4 just to keep those sugar free gum fuckers innovating. I've never fully enjoyed Bazooka Joe. the gum is practically a rock and by the time you begin to soften it, the flavor is lost. The comics, while i'm sure they're all gems in their own way, pretty much suck a fraction less than the gum. As sucky as the gum is...i kinda like it. i can't quite put my finger on why, but it's kinda nice knowing that no matter what happens, certain things will always kinda suck. YOU: If you don't take things too seriously, are positive, and like having fun. I know everyone says crap like that. But seriously. Let's have FUN. I have and the kind of attitude where i instinctually hold open doors, play with puppies any time I can, and am nice to waiters/almost everyone in a service job because trust me, those jobs suck enough as it is...and c'mon, if you're nice to people they're usually nice to you. Win Win. So if you mesh well with that sort and like to jump around between a bunch of random thoughts (as exemplified above), you've come to the right place.

Auto jumper cables to verify conduit GND continuity? ;')
Seriously, if you have a 50+ yr. old residential structure, nicely outfitted with EMT indoors (and RIGID outdoors) but good safe GND depends on solid connections all the way back to the main panel, how do you VERIFY that your EMT can actually carry 20AMPS in a worst-case ground fault?
EMT connectors have always seemed a bit lame to me, in terms of CONTACT AREA, and there's all those long runs, hidden behind OLD plaster walls, subjected to who-knows-what kinds of abuse, errant nails, improper anchors, ig-nernt/expeditious "modifications", etc...
So... do you (breaker OFF) disconnect a receptacle neutral at the farthest extent of a conduit run, wire the neutral screw directly to the metal box w/ AWG12 copper, and plug in a 20A angle grinder?... then, while it's running, check voltage drop back at the panel? =:O
Or do you just ASSume it's lame, and pull a new green/bare GND wire?
... what say ye RKIs???
There are testers available to verify the quality (current capacity) of grounds.
They are expensive, but if you are really worried you can purchase one.
Makeshift testing runs the risk of causing fires when trying to test grounds that turn out to be poor.
The electronic equipment uses very brief and slowly increasing low voltage waveforms with current monitoring to avoid creating heating if the current flow starts to limit as the voltage rises.
Mine cost over $1000.
There are several types of equipment you can use:
1. Ground Bond Tester.
2. Digital Low-Resistance Ohmmeter or DLRO.
3. Loop Impedance Tester (used in Europe, not readily available in US).
4. Ideal SureTest Circuit Analyzer - some models measure ground impedance.
#4 is probably the most affordable of these.
You could start with a relatively inexpensive digital multimeter that measures 0.1 ohm resolution. If the resistance isn't in the tenths, you KNOW you have a problem.
Turn off the power to the circuit, and verify near 0 volts AC between hot and neutral, and neutral and ground.
Switch the meter to ohms. Note the reading when the meter probes are shorted together (might be a little more than zero). Measure resistance from ground to neutral and subtract the value from shorted leads.
Note that if you get a hot to ground short, you have 120V divided by perhaps 0.1 ohm, so you get 1200 amps. That's good, because it trips the breaker fast, before much heat accumulates. If you have 0.5 ohm, that's 240 amps and the breaker will be slower (but still less than a second?), while 29 kw is heating up the bad connection. That could be dangerous. If you have 6 ohms and only get 20 amps, the breaker won't trip for hours and meanwhile you are dumping 2400 watts somewhere you don't want it and are guaranteed to start a fire.
"2. Digital Low-Resistance Ohmmeter or DLRO. "
Or any small ohm meter are not adequate.
The ability of the ground to carry current is what is important, and measuring resistance does not tell you if the ground path can current enough current to trip a breaker.
A correct bond tester should be used.
It applies a slowly rising voltage and measures the current that is flowing.
As soon as it hits the desired current it switches off to prevent excessive heating.
It also takes the voltage off if the current decreases at any time.
The most casual metalic path can produce a low resistance connection.
When a significant amount of current starts to flow the connection can simply act as a fuse and open, removing the ground path completely.
Before the bond testers became easily available, all sorts of equipment was used to verify ground quality.
A variac and an ammeter can be used.
You slowly turn up the variac until the desired current flows.
Since you will never be as fast as electronics at shutting the current off, it can create risk.
If you really care about it, why not just run a grounding conductor? It should be easy, get a fiberglass snake and pull a ground in each pipe. Or use one of the conductors that is already in the pipe, such as the white wire, to pull a new white wire and a ground wire. Simple, straight forward, and it will give you the peace of mind that you are looking for.
... excellent points to cogitate upon. True that an Ohmmeter sources only mA to test a circuit, but it's a great STARTING point, as a high reading there would obviate ANY higher current testing, automated or not.
My waveform generator idea would have to drive a J-FET or similar power amplifier device. At that point I'm jury-rigging something when I could rent/borrow a proper version. Just needed to know it's name(s) in the trade.
Meanwhile, I have no tangible reason to doubt the integrity of any of the conduit, aside from some of it being 50+ years old, and the rest of it 25+ yrs. old. Even though ~200 yds. from Atlantic coast, NO visible rust anywhere, even j-boxes (yet), exterior or interior. (Apparently, a perpetual accumulation of latex paint IS salt spray-proof! ;')
If you really care about it, why not just run a grounding conductor?
Short answer: human nature + $$. On the one hand, running a separate GND appeals to my belt+suspenders side, but OTOH, it offends my thrifty+lazy side, lol.

How to decide hashcode value? Recently I faced an interview question that "Is 17 a valid hashcode?". Is there any mechanism to define hashcode value? or we can give any number for hashcode value?
Hashcodes should have good dispersion, so that different objects will be saved in different positions of the hash table (otherwise performance could be degraded).
From that point, while 17 us a "valid" hash code (in the sense that it is a 32-bit signed integer), it is suspicious how the hash function was defined.
For instance, a naive approach for hashing a string is just adding the value of each character. This result in similar hash values for simple strings (such as "tar" and "rat" that sum up to the same value).
A common trick is multiplying each value by a small prime, so that simple inputs will return different values, e.g.;
(the latter, from the JRE implementation of
Whatever method you select to derive the hashcode, it should always return the same integer for the object (as long as its state remains the same).
Ya 17 is valid. Usually prime numbers like shown in the link are used, you can implement hashcode using the id of that entity which is a primary key
this provides different ways for implementing the hascode

St. Louis Blues captain Chris Pronger isn't just one of the NHL's more outspoken players -- he's also one of its most passionate. And since league owners won't allow him on the ice right now, he'll spend some of his free time like most of us do: watching TV.Just as he doesn't think twice about punishing forwards who dare to enter his team's zone, Pronger was ready and willing to discuss his 10 favorite TV shows. In no particular order: 1. Any of the "CSI" shows
I find these very riveting; they're always coming up with something new to keep you interested. 2. Any of the "Law & Order" shows
I've liked legal shows for as long as I can remember. The original series is one of my all-time favorites.
3. "The Apprentice"
I used to go to Vegas quite a bit, and it's interesting to see all the behind-the-scenes aspects of the city. 5. "Seinfeld" re-runs
I never get sick of Seinfeld. Most people's favorite character is either George or Kramer, but I think I'm a Jerry guy. He's fantastic. 6. "The Sopranos"
This is probably my No. 1 show. I've seen every episode. It's too bad the actress who played Tony's mom passed away; it would have been fun to watch her piss her son off some more, especially because it doesn't take much to do it. 7. "Sex And The City"
I watch this in part to please my wife, and I don't think I'm the only guy out there to do so. But it's not as bad as some guys think. 8. "Kudlow and Kramer"
I get a good laugh out of watching these two guys rant about the business world. 9. "Pardon The Interruption": The banter between Kornheiser and Wilbon is great, although I'd love to see them talk hockey more than they do. 10. "The Wiggles"
This is my son's favorite show - and the reason why I have a bunch of Wiggles crap lying around my house.

'I wasn't getting any help': killer mom
-- Blames CFS workers for drug relapse, slaying -- Becomes too upset to testify at inquest
Nicole Redhead admits she got high on crack cocaine before heading to the hospital to give birth to her daughter.
Less than two years later, the undersized child -- the recipient of weeks of physical abuse that left her tiny body broken and bruised -- had her cries forever silenced by her mother's hands.
A provincial review is underway to examine how the events leading up to the death of her 21-month-old daughter, Jaylene, went unnoticed by those within the provincial child-welfare system.
In April 2011, Redhead, 30, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for killing Jaylene inside a Child and Family Services-approved shelter meant to supervise her and protect the child. With the criminal case concluded, an inquest began Tuesday into the circumstances of the June 2009 tragedy. Redhead was the first to testify. She tearfully described the events leading up to, and including, her daughter's slaying.
"I wasn't getting any help," said a sobbing Redhead. She claims CFS workers failed to offer her proper community support upon returning her daughter, which ultimately led to a drug relapse and the slaying.
"I knew I could do anything I want," Redhead said when asked by lawyers why she returned to using drugs. She became increasingly upset as the morning wore on, prompting the judge to adjourn her testimony.
"You send me back to that cell, I'm not coming back here," Redhead vowed before being led away. It's not clear when, or if, her evidence will continue.
Redhead pleaded guilty to manslaughter last year after admitting to suffocating Jaylene while living inside a women's shelter under the supervision of CFS, which had returned the girl to her care months earlier. Redhead claims she was trying to stop her from crying and never meant to kill her.
"This was the manifestation of unspeakable brutality and torture," Manitoba Queen's Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal said in handing down his sentence last year. He said Redhead's actions went well beyond her ability to cope and were "closer to anger and rage than frustration and stress."
Jaylene suffered more than 30 separate injuries to "nearly every portion of the body" in the days before she died. They include several bite marks to her legs and severe bruising on her vagina as a result of being kicked so hard it left a footprint impression.
Redhead killed her daughter by placing a hand over her mouth and holding it there for up to two minutes, court was told. After her child went limp, the mother placed her in a crib and left the room. She sat in her suite at the Native Women's Transition Centre for several hours. Her boyfriend called later that night from the Headingley Correctional Centre, where he was an inmate, and she confessed to him.
The boyfriend urged Redhead to call 911, but she refused. He called the shelter and told them what had happened. The night supervisor found Jaylene, called 911 and began CPR. But it was too late.
Redhead was arrested and attempted suicide in an interview room by using a string from her sweatpants to try to hang herself, court was told.
In October 2007, the Awasis CFS agency seized Jaylene after she was born. It obtained a three-month order of guardianship that was extended several times. By December 2008, CFS supported Jaylene's return to her mother. A 12-month supervision order was granted but it was set to expire in December 2009. It required Redhead to live at the treatment centre under CFS supervision.
Redhead said Thursday she repeatedly asked for help to look after Jaylene so she could go grocery shopping or spend time alone. She claims several workers never responded to her requests, or told her they'd get back to her, but never did.
CFS had previously seized Redhead's two other children but did not return them to her care. She was also pregnant at the time of the killing and that child has been made a permanent CFS ward.
Redhead has led a tragic life, defence lawyer Steve Brennan told court Tuesday. Her background included seeing her mother stab her father to death at a drinking party when she was a child.
