How long before it stays airborne?
Posted 27 September 2010 - 11:03 AM
Are there any members on here from Cumbria in the UK?
After 4 weeks of waiting for the "right day" I flew my birthday present on Sunday. To say it was difficult would be an understatement. I'm not bad with a 2 lines but found the rev very difficult to keep in the air. The winds were light & gusty but it felt like I was doing brain surgery trying to coordinate everything. How long did it take you guys before you weren't embarassing yourselves (or am I just not cut out for this?). It felt a lot like a first driving lesson.
It's a new rev 1.5 SLE - not the SUL.
Any advice gratefully received ...

If you're used to dual lines, then you're going to have to do a bit of reprogramming to your brain & hands. The movements are bit different (and opposite in some respects). I had the same problem at first! You might want to start by checking out some of John Baressi's tutorials that he's been working on. Go here and look at the menu on the right...
Let me also state the obvious by saying that you should check to make sure all 4 of your lines are equal in length. That will mess up your day in a hurry if they aren't. :/

I've watched all of the videos I can find, even the larks head one even though I've been using it for years as well as all of the tutorials I could find but nothing prepared me for how sensitive the kite was (I used the word "twitchy" on the day).
I guess what I was really asking was how long did it take others before they felt "in control" of their first rev as opposed to constantly reacting to what it's doing in the air? On the evidence of my first flight (read semi-controlled crash) there's something of a steep learning curve ...

I still dont feel in control when trying new stuff. Stick with it mate. I have been flying on and off for at least two years. The first 6 months I flew the rev solidly but now it is proberly once a month or so. It proberly took me about 10-20 hours before I could hold basic flight with out hitting the ground to oftan. Then a good 50-60 hours before I could hold any form of inverted hover (that being self taught as there are no other flyers near me). Like everything, some people learn quicker than others.
Posted 28 September 2010 - 10:52 PM
I finding myself classifying days into "good flying weather" days & "bad flying weather" days - I must be hooked.
I'll let you know when I manage to gain some control over my rev.
Thanks again.

Keeping it in the air just sort of sneaks up on you!
I echo what the others are saying if you can find other flyers. Flattens the curve and much more fun.
Posted 29 September 2010 - 09:23 AM
don't even worry about the cost of petro either, you'll have saved a bloody fortune in useless or broken items.
which kite design/size/wind range fits your style?,
what handle lengths seems the most appropriate for your needs?
any special additions that will cut down on the learning curve?
What length of lines should be used,... .and when?
How do you TUNE with leaders, adjust flying lines, put away your kite and wind-up the line-sets?
Different techniques exist that all reach the same goal/destination, . . . . you just need enough experience to determine what fits you perfectly.
That's why we are a family, so you can try out mine and I can abuse yours! Go meet up with other Quad-heads and master the wind my friend.
Don't wait 'nother weekend, buy some gortex clothes and boots, weather is only an issue if you're not prepared for it. Source out your closest coach and buy 'em breakfeast, they will become a lifelong investment in your flying passion.
Posted 29 September 2010 - 01:23 PM
Again thanks to everyone for taking the time - it must be irritating dealing with fresh meat all the time.
God give me patience to learn to fly, but do it now!
Posted 29 September 2010 - 02:09 PM
... I learned by myself with the DVD and tutorials on line and tons of questions that I asked here. Don't worry about asking questions. It is not impossible to do it by yourself and it doesn't take forever.
Something that helped me progress a bit faster was, after I had the very basics such as up/down/left/right and turn somewhat under control I flew while explaining to someone else beside me what I was doing. My mind was so focused on his questions and showing him that I suddenly realized those basic moves where much smoother and under better control. You will hear a lot of people say, "fly more think less" and that is what they are describing. Get a feel for how it moves and let your developing muscle memory take over.
One more time, ask questions, post your progress, soak up the encouragement to keep you going when you feel you have run into a wall and just keep at it!
I suggest starting a new thread looking for the locals to maximize the coverage.

Not to , but flying with others is the fastest way to learn. An experienced flyer can watch you and give you an ah-ha moment that will save hours of time.
Make sure your lines are equalized. I've helped multiple new fliers discover one line is significantly longer than all others.
Vertical spars go on the back (without the bridle and logo). You probably know this, but it happens.
Try flying with more brake. Have the top lines be 2-4" longer than the bottoms. This makers it harder to launch, but eliminates much of the twitching. If you don't have knots in your leader, See Mike Kory's post below.
Once you have all the knots in the leaders, you can experiment with different amounts of brake to see what feels comfortable. Give it 10-15 minutes on a setting to get used to it before changing for the best comparisons.
When you put more brake on, you will need to give a decent pull and possibly a strong step back to launch.
Just to be clear:
It doesn't matter how long your bottom leaders are. It doesn't matter how long your top leaders are.
What matters, is the difference in length between the top and bottom leaders.
Choose the knots you mostly fly on.
1. Measure the distance from the handle to the knot on the top leader.
2. Measure the distance from the handle to the knot on bottom leader.
Subtract: #1 - #2.
That's how much brake you're using.
I found this diagram I had posted a few years back on the IKE forum. It's another way to measure your brake.
Another helpful hint. If you have the standard Rev handles, without knotted leaders, you can re-do them. Remove the top leader and untie it so that you have a long line instead of a looped line. You can tie knots and attach the leader without it being looped & larks-headed. Another old diagram from IKE:
We've being using leaders like that on 180GO! for years without a problem. Here's our leaders: (sorry for the over-sized photo, it's what was already online)
I usually fly on the last knot or second to last knot on the top leader, and the last knot on the bottom leader.
Depending on the flyer, I'll use the other knots when teaching a newbie or converting them from the "no-brake" to "brake" way of flying.
Fly in decent winds when you are first learning. Very low winds or gusty, swirling winds are like learning to drive on a stick-shift with a bad clutch.
Find a large field to reduce turbulence from surrounding buildings or trees. I started on a small field and had real problems down low. I went to a much larger field and the winds were much smoother.
Try 120' lines if you have been using 75'. The extra length gives you a small amount of additional time to think and the extra length may allow you to get above the turbulence to cleaner winds.
Do whatever you can to kick the dual-line pushing and pulling habit. Try locking your elbows to sides and fly only with your hands.
Try and keep your hands down low. Easier said than done.
Most of my early mistakes were from over control. The Rev needs small inputs and then you can return to neutral. Try simple up, down, hover midway and rocking left and right to get a sense of it.
If you can have someone shoot a video of you flying possibly from behind you to show body and kites and post, I'm sure there are plenty of flyers that will give you feedback.
To answer your original question: After three to four sessions in decent winds on a good field, I was getting comfortable and starting to make regular progress.
Lastly: Start thinking what color your vented will be. Once you get a vented, you are set for almost any wind condition.
This has been a lengthy post and may include plenty of things you already know. Hopefully some of this will be useful. YMMV.

Bartman- I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression in my last post - what I meant by "better off" was "well advised", not an admission of defeat. Apologies if it read badly.
RevJB - many thanks - some very useful info, a lot of which hadn't occured to me.
A very supportive community ...

I did forget to add a line about spars. I know others may disagree, but I strongly suggest you avoid the SLE while learning and use the 3-wrap as your standard. Trying to fly someone else's kite with the SLE felt like trying to keep a truck in the air. The extra weight also adds momentum, potentially leading to more over control.
I've watched many Rev learn-to-fly lessons at festivals and have never seen a spar snap.
FYI, I got engaged on the shores of Lake Windermere. Someday I'll have to go back and bring the Revs (and my wife).
Posted 01 October 2010 - 05:46 PM
I spent almost two hours with my Rev 1.5 SLE in a 12 to 20 MPH wind. It was great. I had a few unplanned landings, but in only a few minutes I was doing controlled landings and launches, 360's both directions, figure eights, and flying back and forth accross the window. I did drop the kite straight out of the sky twice from top center of the window (it almost landed on my head) . I even did a few inverted launches, and rolled the kite from an inverted landing to right side up.
I was so concerned that I was not going to be able to fly the Rev, but I think those worries are behind me now. I cant wat to get out there again with my Rev.
I am planning on going down to the Washington Monument and flying there on Sunday, and hope to see some other Rev flers there.
Lets hope for some good wind!
Rev rules! What am I going to do with all of my dual line kites?

I know there are a few Rev fliers up your way. One of them has recently become very busy with work. He is from Wigan (not too far from you?). Do be prepared to travel a bit to find other fliers. After all it is you that needs help. You will find it maks a BIG difference.
I travelled 3 Hours in FOUL (wind, rain, snow, hail) to spend a couple of Hours with John Barresi quite a few Years ago, wow it was SO windy, I only held his lines for a few minuites, then put one of my Revs up and it promptly pulled some knots through the sail.
Traveled over 2.5 Hours to a skills Weekend at Dunstable, 3 hours to spend a few Hours at Ainsdale. Then a few Kite Festivals, Portsmouth, Bristol, Weston and some others.
Pretty much the only reason that the folks yo see on Youtube etc are better then you (and me) is practice.
I fly mainly on my own, I think it has taken me quite a long time to tune into Revs, a difficult transition from Dualies for me. However now I mostly fly Revs. I had to buy a foil to get used to the handle movements for a quad line kite. It will all make sense. If you go it alone dont get frustrated.
There are many more Rev pilots in the USA, and I think that generaly they are more used to going longer distances to fly shoulder to shoulder.
I am sure more UK folks will pick your thread up. Best of luck. Keep in touch.

Protease Inhibitors (PIs) for HIV
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Combination medicines
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|lopinavir and ritonavir
Some of these medicines must be used with ritonavir.
How It Works
Protease inhibitors (PIs) are antiretroviral medicines. They prevent HIV from multiplying, reducing the amount of virus in your body. When the amount of virus in the blood is kept at a minimum, the immune system has a chance to recover and grow stronger.
Why It Is Used
The use of three or more antiretroviral medicines (antiretroviral therapy), or ART) is the usual treatment for HIV infection.
The combination of medicines used for ART will depend on your health, other conditions you might have (such as hepatitis), and results of testing. Talk to your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.
Medical experts recommend that people begin treatment for HIV as soon as they know that they are infected.1, 2 Treatment is especially important for pregnant women, people who have other infections (such as tuberculosis or hepatitis), and people who have symptoms of AIDS.
You may also want to start HIV treatment if your sex partner does not have HIV. Treatment of your HIV infection can help prevent the spread of HIV to your sex partner.3
The U.S. National Institutes of Health recommend one of the following programs for people who begin treatment for HIV:3
- Efavirenz + tenofovir + emtricitabine
- Ritonavir-boosted atazanavir + tenofovir + emtricitabine
- Ritonavir-boosted darunavir + tenofovir + emtricitabine
- Raltegravir + tenofovir + emtricitabine
How Well It Works
Combination therapy:
- Reduces viral loads, which can lead to stable or increased CD4+ cell counts, a sign that the immune system is still able to fight off opportunistic infections.
- Decreases the number and severity of opportunistic infections.
- Reduces or prevents the occurrence of resistance to the medicines.
- Prolongs life.
Antiretroviral therapy can also decrease symptoms of HIV infection, such as fever and weakness, and help the person gain weight.
The rate at which antiretrovirals decrease viral loads is affected by:3
- CD4+ cell counts at the beginning of treatment.
- Viral load at the beginning of treatment.
- The dosage of the medicines.
- Whether the medicines are taken exactly as prescribed.
- Whether antiretroviral medicines have been taken before.
- Whether any opportunistic infections are present.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
Common side effects of these medicines include:
- An increase in blood sugar.
- Changes in the distribution of body fat.
- Headaches.
- Nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.
- Rash.
- An increase in cholesterol and triglycerides.
- Liver problems, especially if you have liver disease.
To prevent serious medicine interactions or a decrease in medicine effectiveness, be sure to learn which medicines should not be taken with PIs and other antiretroviral medicines.
Indinavir causes kidney stones in a small number of people who use it. The risk of kidney stones can be reduced by drinking at least 48 fl oz (1.4 L) of fluid each day.
Some protease inhibitors slightly increase the risk of having a heart attack.4
Side effects of any combination medicine can include the side effects of any of the single medicines in the combination.
Report all side effects to your doctor at your next visit. He or she can adjust your dose or give you other medicines to reduce side effects. Some mild side effects, such as nausea, improve as your body adjusts to the medicine.
Many people think antiretroviral medicines always have severe side effects. In fact, only a few people experience severe or dangerous side effects.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Food increases the absorption of atazanavir, nelfinavir, and darunavir.5 Certain acid-reducing medicines, such as omeprazole or famotidine, should not be taken at the same time as atazanavir. Before you take protease inhibitors (PIs), be sure to tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking.
Resistance to PIs develops more frequently if these medicines are used alone or are not taken exactly as prescribed.
Lopinavir is combined with a low dose of ritonavir to inhibit the breakdown of lopinavir in the body. This delayed breakdown of lopinavir increases its effectiveness.
PIs are expensive. They can cost up to two times more than nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).
Things to think about when choosing a combination of medicines include:
- The ability of the medicines to reduce your viral load.
- The likelihood the virus will develop resistance to a certain class of medicine. If you have already been treated with a certain antiretroviral medicine, you may already know whether you are resistant to medicines in that class.
- Side effects and your willingness to tolerate them.
- The cost of treatment.
Do not use the nonprescription herbal supplement St. John's wort while you are taking a protease inhibitor, because St. John's wort can interfere with how well these medicines work.
Talk to your doctor about whether you can eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you are taking protease inhibitors. It may increase the side effects of some of these medicines.6
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Serves 6 to 8
Yields 24
There are versions of sweet banana treats all over Southeast Asia. Sometimes the bananas are fried in a batter until crisp, sometimes they're cooked in oil or lightly grilled, sometimes they're simmered in sweetened coconut milk. These fried bananas are meltingly lush, and they're given an extra layer of flavor by a squeeze of lime juice. (Some friends like a little dusting of chile powder on top as well, for that hot-sweet-tart hit.) You can also serve them with tart-sweet mango or lime sorbet. They're good for dessert, but almost better as a snack. Make plenty, for it's hard to turn down second helpings.
Combine the flours, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Slowly add the water, stirring to make a smooth, thick batter. Stir in the sesame seeds. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Peel the bananas. If using large bananas, cut crosswise in half. Cut the pieces or the small bananas lengthwise in half (in either case, you will now have 24 pieces). Set aside.
Put out a slotted spoon or a spider by your stovetop along with one or two plates. Set a deep-fryer, stable wok, or wide heavy pot over medium heat. Add 2 inches of oil, raise the heat to high, and heat until the oil reaches 360°F. Use a thermometer to check the temperature, or drop a dollop of batter into the oil: If it sinks slowly to the bottom and then rises to the surface, the oil is at temperature. If it bobs right up without sinking or darkens immediately, the oil is too hot—lower the heat slightly; if it doesn't rise to the surface, the oil is not yet hot enough.
Stir the batter, then drag 1 piece of banana through the batter and slide it carefully into the hot oil. Repeat with 2 or 3 more pieces, one by one. Fry, moving the pieces around carefully and keeping them from sticking to one another, until lightly golden and crispy. Lift out of the oil with the spider or slotted spoon, pausing to let excess oil drain off, and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining bananas and batter.
Serve hot, with the lime wedges, sorbet, or ice cream, if you like.

Doctors aren't sure what causes stomach cancer. There is a strong correlation between a diet high in smoked, salted and pickled foods and stomach cancer. As the use of refrigeration for preserving foods has increased around the world, the rates of stomach cancer have declined.
In general, cancer begins when an error (mutation) occurs in a cell's DNA. The mutation causes the cell to grow and divide at a rapid rate and to continue living when a normal cell would die. The accumulating cancerous cells form a tumor that can invade nearby structures. And cancer cells can break off from the tumor to spread throughout the body.
The cells that form the tumor determine the type of stomach cancer. The type of cells in your stomach cancer helps determine your treatment options. Types of stomach cancer include:
Because the other types of stomach cancer are rare, when people use the term "stomach cancer" they generally are referring to adenocarcinoma.

Dawn - Setting Off On a New Journey!
this wiki
Hikari - Setting Off On a New Journey! is a Diamond and Pearl special that aired on February 3, 2011.
After training Piplup and Cyndaquil in her home in Twinleaf Town, Dawn decides she wants to go to Hoenn to participate in the Pokémon Contests there. She is not sure who to take with her, so she stops by Professor Rowan's lab. However, Rowan needs help with a new trainer named Shinko who is not sure who she should pick as her starter Pokémon, similar to how Dawn felt when she began her journey. When the new Chimchar and Piplup escape from the lab, Dawn agrees to help find them, with Shinko following her taking notes on the way. They eventually find that the Chimchar and Piplup have been trapped by an Ariados. Cyndaquil saves them, but all of the other Ariados in the area attack them, including a powerful shiny Ariados that traps them with a Psychic attack. Cyndaquil suddenly evolves into Quilava, saving everyone from the Ariados with its powerful Eruption attack. With the new Pokémon saved, Dawn decides that she will take all of her Pokémon with her to Hoenn.

My Dog's Aggression Problem
I have two Goldens, brother and sister. Ginger, the female, extremely well behaved. Diego, the male, has a few problems. He used to pull, but I have trained him loose leash walking, except when he sees dogs on walks. There are some times when he shows aggression towards big dogs. I let him meet, usually it's face to face, and he will bark like crazy if he isn't friendly. Anybody know why? I've read things where dogs do not show dominance, so is this a form of fear or something? He wasn't socialized as a puppy, I was really little when we got them. So I understand why he is this way. Other big dogs he's fine with, others not so much. Like today, these two dogs came our way and he walked right up to them and started barking constantly. It was very deep and really got me nervous. I'm a teenager so when I'm in these situations I forget to look at his body language and such. Any advice? I'm going to go to a professional trainer's house sometime soon for a private lesson.
It sounds like Diego is a little afraid and is barking to make the other dog go away. Lack of socialization when a pup is young can lead to them being a little nervous when they get older. For now I would avoid all on leash meetings with other dogs, especially new ones. A dog on leash knows he can not run/move away, so he will bark at or confront another dog, because he is afraid. And repeated exposure to dogs he is uncomfortable with, can make him more fearful, and more likely to react to them. Diego's anxiety towards other dogs should to dealt with using positive reinforcement and counter conditioning. Diego is already unsure, and he needs help to change how he feels about other dogs.

I think you will enjoy working with a professional who can share some info with you about how dog's behave. It is very important you don't rely on a trainer who isn't certified to work with dogs using counter-conditioning and similar methods. If they tell you to use verbal or physical corrections, force the dogs to meet or talk about dominance/leadership choose another one.
Leash reactivity is a very very common issue, especially if undersocialized and if your dog is highly aroused or anxious (ie. pulls a lot on leash).
It is always a good idea to not let dogs meet while on-leash, ever. Leashes don't allow dogs to behave as they would normally and they can't get away if they want to. For a dog who is unsure and can't get away this will result in them upping their behaviour to get the other dog to go away.

Great advice so far. I would add that meetings should not be face to face. I would try to encourage face to rump meetings... it's more natural for dogs!
Best of luck and keep us posted!
Is Diego neutered?
It is very hard for humans to accurately read dog/dog communication and not being able to do that means you have no idea why he reacts poorly to some dogs and not to others.
In this situation, with this dog, with an inexperienced handler on the other end of the leash, I would also avoid leash greetings. Management (meaning not letting him meet other dogs while on leash) may be the solution to the problem.
If you want to change his behavior, find a trainer as recommended above.

Dog Trainer
The person I am going to does positive reinforcement. JaneTrains | Florence, Alabama Alot of people really like her, I think she used to be a dolphin trainer as well. I will keep everyone updated. I think I am going to try and schedule a lesson this week. If I stay consistant with the training, and keep taking him to classes, do you think it will completely change his thinking of other dogs on walks? He's never been off leash with another dog sadly, do you think he would be different if he was? I don't want to try it, I'm just curious if it is only on our walks. Because last time I was at the vets office and he met this pitbull and was fine until the dog started whining and really getting in his face. Diego did a short growl. I just moved him across the room. I really liked one one said about not letting them meet head on, face to face. I did that with two of my friends dogs and he has never been aggressive. Even one of their dogs growled and he was still wagging his tail with a really relaxed body at them. I'm going to stay confident that he will do well.
The trainer looks great!
If your dog has never met another dog off leash than it is perfectly normal for him to be unsure around dogs. He has never learned how to really communicate with dogs.
I think if you continue to work with a professional you will be able to learn to make your dog less fearful.
An undersocialized dog will always retain some off the behaviour you are seeing but that doesn't mean he won't be a happy dog, if you are committed to working hard and managing him well.
Let us know how training goes!

Video: Chris Coleman murder trial begins Monday
Video: Jury and Chris Coleman arrive for trial
Waterloo, IL (KSDK) - Triple-murder suspect Chris Coleman teared up as graphic pictures of Sheri Coleman and her two boys, Gavin and Garrett, were shown in court on Monday morning.
The three victims were found strangled in their beds in May 2009. Chris Coleman is accused of killing them.
Sheri was pictured naked, face down in her bed. The pictures of the boys showed their faces and parts of their arms discolored. There were also spray-painted messages on the boy's beds. Another picture showed a clump of long, dark hair in the bend of Gavin's elbow.
Sheri's mother and other family members left the court room when the pictures were shown.
The first responder who found the victim's bodies was the third person to testify on the first day of the murder trial in Monroe County, Illinois.
The second witnesss to testify was an FBI employee who made a model of the Coleman home to use as a prop in the investigation and during the trial.
Sheri's mother took the stand only to identify the victims and to announce their ages.
In all, eight witnesses took to the stand on Monday, most of them police and amublance workers. They testified that the victims appeared to have been dead for a while. They showed signs of rigor mortis and their bodies were discolored. A patholegist estimated the victims' time of death to be between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
The time of death may play a key issue in the proceedings. Chris Coleman claims his wife and sons were alive when he left to go to the gym at 5:43 a.m.
The prosecution and defense spent about an hour presenting their opening statements to the jury.
The prosecution said its case to the jury will begin about six months prior to the murders. They believe Coleman came up with an elaborate plan to kill his family so he could make a new life with his mistress.
The prosecution said Coleman's mistress, Tara Lintz, went to high school with Sheri Coleman. They said Coleman had sexual relations with Lintz while he was traveling for work. Coleman worked security for Televangelist Joyce Meyer and made $100,000 a year.
Meyer was unable to attend the trial, so she taped her deposition. Prosecutors said Meyer testified she would fire any employee having an affair and that she ordered the couple to get counseling.
Prosecutors said Coleman felt "it was a job he could not lose."
Sheri's friends will testify during the trial that Sheri told them that Chris told her she wanted a divorce and that the family was getting in the way of work, according to the prosecution.
The defense did not deny that Coleman had an affair with Lintz. They said Chris was seeking other job opportunities, so he could leave the ministry to spend more time with his wife and family.
Chris was distraught when he learned about the murders, the defense said. Chris cooperated with the police investigation and voluntarily gave DNA samples.
The defense told jurors "you will find a lot of reasonable doubt in the evidence."
A jury of 10 women and two men were selected last week in Pinckneyville. The jurors will be bussed 50 minutes each way for the trial.
NewsChannel 5's Ryan Dean and Casey Nolen will be covering the trial and will tweet updates @ksdknews.

It's official! Nancy Shevell is now Paul McCartney's wife! It was a simple wedding surrounded by close friends, including Ringo Starr and his woman Barbara Bach. Oh and speaking of Barbaras…Babwa Wah Wah was there and it was certainly quite difficult to miss her.
While everyone else sported a more neutral, non flashy ensemble, Barbara Walters pulled a Pippa Middleton with her red form-fitting gown, her fresh plastic surgery job and her newly dyed blond bouffant. She tucked in those granny sags, pulled up the support hose and Bam! Pretty fly for an 80 year old!
Details from the wedding below.
It was a 45 minute ceremony that took place at the Old Marylebone Town Hall, where Paul married his first wife Linda. Hundreds of fans and paps waited outside for the couple to emerge together as husband and wife. Let me just say that Shevell looked stunning with her elegant, yet simple gown. No surprise here, but the dress was designed by Paul's daughter Stella. That must mean that Stella approves of this marriage.
As for Paul, he rocked a blue suit and a blue tie. The lovebirds walked out hand in hand with big fat smiles on their faces.
At least Paul will not have to worry about his money if he and Nancy don't work out. Turns out, Shevell is independently wealthy and is a vice president of a New Jersey trucking company that is owned by her dad.
Congratulations, you crazy kids! I'm sure Paul was damn happy that Peggy Mills wasn't there to cause a scene!

A winner in five of his last six starts, Brazilâs Feijao is coming off a crushing first-round knockout over Antwain âThe Juggernautâ Britt at STRIKEFORCE: Heavy Artillery last May 15 in St. Louis on SHOWTIME. Feijao trains out of the famed Black House camp with, among others, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida and Antonio Nogueira with Silva, the current UFC middleweight champion, serving as his striking coach and former champ Nogueira working as his grappling coach. The only losses on Cavalcanteâs resume came in 2007 on a disqualification and in a shocking upset to late replacement and dangerous veteran Mike âMakâ Kyle on June 6, 2009. Since the loss to Kyle, the 6-foot-1 Cavalcante has rattled off two consecutive knockouts: a second-round KO of Aaron Rosa at a STRIKEFORCE Challengers event in Kansas City on Nov. 20, 2009 and the Britt blowout. Ronaldo âJacareâ Souza vs. Tim Kennedy Jacare (pronounced âJock-a-rayââ) is a world-class submission specialist and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt who is coming off a hard-fought unanimous decision over Joey Villaseñor at STRIKEFORCE: Heavy Artillery. In his outing before last, the world-renowned grappler submitted (arm triangle choke) 1996 Olympic Games Greco-Roman medalist Matt âThe Lawâ Lindland on Dec. 19, 2009. The 6-foot, 30-year-old Jacareâs only defeats came in his first career match in 2003 and to former STRIKEFORCE champ Mousasi at the Dream 6: Middleweight Grand-Prix Final in 2008. An American military hero, Kennedy, of Austin, Tex., is fresh off a first-round submission (rear-naked choke) of Trevor Prangley on June 16 at STRIKEFORCE: LIVE at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles. The 5-foot-11, 30-year-old Kennedy is a United States Army Special Forces sniper with the 19th Special Forces outfit based in San Antonio. He has toured the Middle East multiple times and earned the Armyâs Bronze Medal Star medal for valor under fire. Kennedy has split two fights with Jason âMayhemââ Miller, while his only other defeat came to Scott âHands Of Steelââ Smith in his pro debut on Aug. 31, 2001. KJ Noons vs. Jorge Gurgel A confident, prolific striker, the 5-foot-11 Noons outlasted Conor Heun in his STRIKEFORCE debut via split decision in an all-out slugfest in his last fight, also at STRIKEFORCE: LIVE in L.A. Noons, who is also a professional boxer, is the last fighter to defeat current STRIKEFORCE welterweight champion Nick Diaz â a bloody first-round knockout in 2007. The 27-year-old Noons has won five consecutive fights and is 8-1 in his last nine outings. His last defeat came to Charles âKrazy Horseââ Bennett on Feb. 10, 2007, in the opening bout on the historic first MMA fight card ever broadcast on network premium television (SHOWTIME). Gurgel holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but prefers to stand and exchange strikes rather than utilize his submission skills, which makes all his fights explosive and entertaining. The 5-foot-7 Gurgel has never lost a fight via knockout and has only been submitted twice in an eight-year MMA career. Gurgel, 33, is coming off an exciting, extremely tough decision loss to undefeated prospect Billy Evangelista on Nov. 6, 2009, at a STRIKEFORCE Challengers event in Fresno, Calif. Before the loss to Evangelista, Gurgel won a unanimous decision victory over Heun on June 19, 2009 at a STRIKEFORCE Challengers event in Kent, Wash. Bobby Lashley vs. TBA The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Lashley is a former collegiate wrestling star for Missouri Valley College who competed in both the WWE Raw and SmackDown! shows in 2005 and 2006. He made his MMA debut in December 2008. In his last fight and STRIKEFORCE debut, Lashley, 33, scored a first round TKO over Wes Sims at STRIKEFORCE: Miami on Jan. 30, 2010. Prior to that, the former professional wrestling superstar pulverized the 6-foot-5, 350-plus pound goliath Bob Sapp. Lashleyâs WWE and TNA wrestling career has helped make him a well-known figure in the sports and entertainment world. What the fighters said Tuesday: âKING MOâ LAWAL âFeijao likes to bang so this is going to be an exciting fight. Iâm going to show you all some new things Iâve been working on.â On coming into his first fight as champion: âThe approach doesnât change. Going into every fight, I feel like both a champion and a challenger because I challenge myself in training, but Iâm always champion in my mind. So nothing is going to change for this fight. âI watch about 10-15 fights a day. Iâm always studying guys and learning their weaknesses.â After KJ stated that heâs going to fight a war: âIâll let KJ fight a war. I donât want to fight a war. Iâm going to look to finish (Feijao) as fast as I can. I donât ever want to fight a war. I always want to dominate and fight as one-sided a fight as possible.â TIM KENNEDY On how his military experience prepared him mentally and physically for MMA competition: âThis is just fighting. (In the cage), thereâs a guy in a black shirt wearing latex gloves whoâs going to protect me. Itâs much different than battling a guy whoâs hiding behind a rock with a cell phone, waiting to blow me up. So, this is fun. I love fighting. Itâs a huge sport and Iâm a huge fan of it. Itâs totally different. âIâm proud to say that Iâm a Texan now. I live in Austin. I hope that all of Texas will come out to support me as I fight to win the belt. âAs your career progresses, every next fight is the most important one. After I beat Jacare and have the title, theyâre going to say âIs this the most important fight of your career?â I take every single fight with extreme seriousness and I take Jacare very seriously. I have great respect for him as an athlete and as a fighter. Heâs very talented. Itâs a tough fight. I donât know if heâs my toughest opponent, but itâs nice to be able to train full time, so this is going to be a tough fight for him.â BOBBY LASHLEY âI think Iâve progressed well. The Bobby Lashley who fought my first fight is completely different from Bobby Lashley now. Iâm anxious to get back out there. I had a little setback and when I finally got cleared. I called (STRIKEFORCE CEO Scott) Coker and begged him to be on this card.â âAs far as comparing myself to the other heavyweights, weâll see real soon. Iâll have opportunities to fight those guys in the next year.â KJ NOONS âIâm very excited to come back to Texas. I finished high school here. My mom and my dad are here. The fans are awesome here. I did open-hand Pancrase down the street from here eight years ago before MMA was even big, so I know how it was back then so Iâm super excited to be back here. âI think Iâm going to keep the fight standing and keep it exciting. Whether you want to call it a war or whatever, itâs going to be like all my other fights. Iâm going to pick him apart and take him out. â(MMA) is a lifestyle. You have to work hard and you can be the best, just like anything else. But, if you donât work hard and you donât respect the sport, then you wonât make it.â

The commonality among my best dressed this month is the sheer simplicity in each of their outfits. As much as I love to accessorize, sometimes it's refreshing to leave all the attention to your outfit. When people think of the words "basic" and "plain," there is usually a negative connotation that follows. That couldn't be further from the truth in most cases, as a simple look can be the most chic and fashionable of them all. I'm not suggesting you get rid of your accessories. But how about letting your ensemble do the talking, at least for one night?

Good salt subsitute
Posted by Reviewer2979019 on Oct 10, 2008
Being the curious type, I ordered this vinegar to try since I had just learned about the wonderful health benefits of Ume Plum. It is high in sodium but if used as a salt substitute it gives the food a subtle but nice flavor. I keep it handy for general seasoning or to sprinkle on salads.
Nice flavour but way too salty
Posted by 5294852888051906674 on Jul 12, 2014
It has a nice ume plum flavour but it is too salty. One serving contains more than 1000mg of sodium. I hope Eden Foods takes note of all the feedback about the high sodium and changes the formula soon.

A highly anticipated weeklong holiday begins on Sunday: Shark Week!
In honor of the occasion, I made my annual vegan, sharky cupcakes and thought I'd share the recipe with you!
Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp flour
- equivalent of one egg (I used Ener-G Egg Replacer, but you can also use ground flaxseed.)
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup of soy milk
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup water
Stir dry ingredients together — sift if anything is clumpy — and then add remaining ingredients. Mix together in a large bowl and then poor into cupcake tins, filling about 2/3 of the way. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
Vegan Buttercream Frosting
- 1/2 cup nonhydrogenated shortening
- 1/2 cup Earth Balance vegan butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup vanilla soy milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- blue food coloring
Sometimes vegan chocolate can be difficult to find, but if you have a Trader Joe's you're set because they're pretty well stocked. I've tried melting their chocolate chips and molding shark fins and let me tell you: This is a terrible — and ridiculously messy — idea. Don't do it!
This time I simply bought a few vegan chocolate bars and cut out the fins. If you try this and the chocolate breaks, simply soften it on the stove or in the microwave for a few seconds.
Ice your cupcakes, top them with chocolate fins and take a bite while you tune in for Shark Week, which kicks off at 9 p.m. Sunday!
And because I can't help but bring in the environmental angle…
My greatest fear in life — besides attending a Creed concert — is death by shark attack. (Yes, I know I'm more likely to be killed by a vending machine or a left-handed person using right-handed equipment.) But despite this insane fear, I worry about the little sharkies. I really do.
A report came out this week that threatened shark species are being found in soups in cities across the United States. Up to 73 million sharks are killed each year to satisfy demand for shark fin soup. Bowls of the soup can sell for around $100 in a restaurant, which is absurd. Imagine how many vegan Shark Week cupcakes you could make with that money!
So skip the shark fin soup and whip up some yummy cruelty-free cupcakes. Besides, studies show that people who eat shark fin soup are *85 percent more likely to be eaten by a great white.
*I might have made up this statistic.

A free medical clinic in Portland is in danger of ending services by February if it doesn't get more funding. For more than 20 years, the India Street Public Health Center has served hundreds of patients who don't have health insurance. There are other free clinics and they receive plenty of in-kind health support from hospitals. But as Patty Wight reports, the challenge is raising money to pay staff and keep the doors open.
Aside from the India Street clinic (above), the only other free clinic in Portland is a place called the Root Cellar. The Root Cellar is open twice a week - once for adults, once for kids. Maureen Merrill oversees the clinic.
"People kind of come here in a gap situation," she says. "Oftentimes, their MaineCare - they no longer qualify, in-between jobs. Again, like the working poor."
"I've been coming for over a year, maybe closer to two years, on and off," says Linda Nevins. "I did have MaineCare for a while and they dropped me, and I had to come back."
Nevins (left) relies on this clinic for ongoing medical care for her knees. The Root Cellar is a faith-based organization, and it receives support from a number of area churches. Raising money has not been a struggle. Amd Maureen Merrill says the clinic has been seeing a couple hundred patients a year. But she expects things to get busier.
"The state of Maine is talking about less people on MaineCare, and as people lose MaineCare, I do feel like we will have more people inquiring and needing our services," Merrill says.
There may be even more demand if the other free clinic in Portland closes. "This is the headquarters, or mission control of the free clinic," says Caroline Teschke, the administrator and manager of clinical services at the India Street Public Health Center.
There are many services offered here, and the free health clinic occupies the front of the center, with a desk and six exam rooms. Most of their 600 clients can't afford to take time off work, so it's open in the evening, four days a week.
But those patients may be forced to find care elsewhere if the clinic doesn't raise $100,000 to cover their annual operating costs.
"I think a lot of them will be frightened and confused," Teschke says. "And I think they would go to the emergency room because that's the other place you get free care - you don't really, but that's how it's perceived ,and that's often what happens."
The clinic entered tenuous financial waters last year. Mercy Hospital - which still offers medical support - withdrew it's financial support. Teschke says a federally-funded health clinic opened in Portland, and Mercy thought it would absorb the India Street patients. But Teschke says their patient load has remained the same, and it's because they serve a different niche. The other clinic is only open during the day, and operates on a sliding fee scale.
"For a lot of our patients, even the thought of a co-pay is a huge barrier, and they're embarrassed," Teschke says. "You know, nobody wants to be put in a position of feeling that they owe money. And they don't have those barriers here."
"We're in the same boat," says Linda Grindle, the office coordinator for the Ellsworth Free Medical Clinic. They serve up to 2,000 patients a year, and have a $65,000 budget. She says the clinic was on the brink of closing at the end of this month.
"We've done a couple capital campaigns, which doesn't seem to yield a huge amount - I was hoping it would yield more," Grindle says. "And now we're busily going to be writing grants."
Two weeks ago, a donor came forward. Grindle says that should keep the clinic operating until the spring, when some of those grants will, hopefully, come through.
Caroline Teschke, from the India Street Clinic, is also busy writing grants, and a group called the Friends of the Free Clinic has formed to try to raise money. Teschke says given the changes and uncertainty the Affordable Care Act will bring, the clinic's role is more important than ever.
"My real fear is that people will slip through the cracks. They'll get lost in all that. They won't know what to do. They won't know how to figure it out," Teschke says. "And that's a role we could very easily transition into. We could become like a portal to help people through this time."
Teschke says the Friends of the Free Clinic will first approach restaurants for donations, because the clinic serves many wait staff in the Portland area.

A former ECU football player was murdered Monday night in Greensboro, and police have arrested the man's brother.
Greensboro police say Derek Blacknall was found wounded at his home on Willard Street around 10:00 p.m. He later died at a local hospital.
Police have charged Darren Blacknall, his brother, with first degree murder. Police say the victim was wounded during a dispute, but did not say if that was a result of a shooting or stabbing.
ECU says Blacknall was enrolled from July 2007 to December 2012, but didn't graduate. He was arrested last year for drug charges in Greenville.
Blacknall played for the Pirates from 2007 to 2011.

The NC Senate candidate whose line, "I paid for this ice cream," became a memorable TV commercial, thanked supporters during his swearing in ceremony by buying them the cool treat.
Republican Louis Pate was sworn in Friday as the NC District 5 Senator after beating out incumbent Democrat Don Davis.
The courtroom at the Greene County courthouse was full for the ceremony. Pate mentioned that his competitor called him after they learned the final results. Pate called Davis a "class act."
Towards the end of the ceremony Pate invited everyone to a reception where his grandchildren served ice cream--and of course Pate paid for that ice cream!

News 12 First at Five / Friday, Oct. 5, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A judge denied bond for 42-year-old Leonard Sapp on Friday.
He's accused of kidnapping a woman and her toddler at an Augusta gas station last week.
The mother, 19-year-old Ashley Nay, says her daughter still has nightmares about the attack.
All you could hear as Sapp entered the courtroom was the faint clinking of chains, but Nay and her 2-year-old have much different memories of Sapp.
"When he was in the cop car, he was like, 'I'm going to get out tonight, and I'm going to come get you,'" she told News 12's Laura Warren.
Law enforcement says those threats haven't stopped. The state told the judge, "Since he's been arrested, he's been making threats against the victim's boyfriend, about what he would do if he got out of custody."
But it doesn't look like he'll be getting out of jail any time soon. The judge concluded the hearing, saying, "He's a threat to the witnesses, I'm going to deny bond."
The ruling came after the judge heard a very vivid account of the details of the carjacking.
The state said, "The defendant reached over and grabbed the 19-year-old's crotch and told her quote, he was going to 'F*** the s*** out of her.'"
Nay and her daughter were able to escape after a good Samaritan pulled her daughter, screaming from the car, but not before Sapp allegedly punched Nay in the face several times, breaking her nose.
Nay says her daughter wakes up screaming, something she never did until this incident.
"I feel better that he's gonna be away, but if he gets out, I'm going to be scared," Nay said.
During the bond hearing, Sapp's family members told the judge he was a good person, but he just has a rough history of drug abuse.
