- BUY ITThis bi-pod is excellent. I've found that low profile scopes work the best with snipers and short to medium length clips, but not the best with like ak's and m16's. but its clamp-on is good so you can mount it to most aeg or a sniper
- GREATI just got this after 2 days and it is the a great bi-pod. I put it on my mosin nagant(not an airsoft gun) and tightened it, I was able to keep it still as a rock. The only bad thing is, you cannot look up very far. It only took me a minute to realize how it works. Now I have a nice addition to my tactical looking 60 year old russian rifle. This fits tight on all of my rifles, and that's a lot. Get it and use it right, it will not let you down.
Happy Killing
- low profile. yupbest. great for kids and people who aren't fat enough to go to to the top of the bi-pod or aren't skinny enough to raise and stabilize their body.
- ehh...i had this on my super 9 sniper and i would only use it to lay down but you can barely look up so you can only use it on like a table or something.

About the Book
"A very clever wordsmith."
—New York Times Book Review
"Ms. Arsenault…reveals strange truths beneath everyday surfaces."
—Wall Street Journal
Emily Arsenault's first two novels, Broken Teaglass ("a beautifully written, engaging mystery" —Dorothy Allison) and In Search of the Rose Notes, received resounding critical acclaim. With her third, Miss Me When I'm Gone, she firmly re-establishes her standing among Laura Lippman, Tana French, Jennifer McMahon, Megan Abbot, and the other major players in the literary mystery game. Arsenault enthralls with this story of what ensues in the shocking aftermath of the sudden, violent death of the successful author of a "honky-tonk Eat, Pray, Love," when an old college friend of the murdered woman comes across an unpublished manuscript—one which could possibly lead to the writer's killer. A former lexicographer, English teacher, children's librarian, and Peace Corps volunteer, Emily Arsenault has found her true calling as an author of twisting, intelligent, emotional, and exceptionally compelling mystery fiction.
Author Gretchen Waters made a name for herself with her bestseller Tammyland—a memoir about her divorce and her admiration for country music icons Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton that was praised as a "honky-tonk Eat, Pray, Love." But her writing career is cut abruptly short when she dies from a fall down a set of stone library steps. It is a tragic accident and no one suspects foul play, certainly not Gretchen's best friend from college, Jamie, who's been named the late author's literary executor.
But there's an unfinished manuscript Gretchen left behind that is much darker than Tammyland: a book ostensibly about male country musicians yet centered on a murder in Gretchen's family that haunted her childhood. In its pages, Gretchen seems to be speaking to Jamie from beyond the grave—suggesting her death was no accident . . . and that Jamie must piece together the story someone would kill to keep untold.

Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer
Chemotherapy is one of the main ways to treat ovarian cancer. It uses anticancer drugs, which are usually given intravenously. The drugs kill or slow the growth of the cancer. You will almost always have chemotherapy and surgery to treat ovarian cancer, even with early stage disease.
The doctor who treats you with chemotherapy is called a gynecologic oncologist or a medical oncologist. Gynecologic oncologists are subspecialists with advanced training in the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of female cancers including ovarian cancer.
Chemotherapy for ovarian cancer usually involves more than one drug. You may want to know details about the drugs you're taking. You may also want to know about their common side effects. Ask your doctor or nurse to go over this information with you.
What happens during chemotherapy
About 1 to 4 weeks after surgery to remove ovarian tumors, you will likely begin chemotherapy. You will most likely have it for about 6 months.
How often you receive treatment will depend on the type of chemotherapy you receive. The chemotherapy regimen will vary depending on the stage of the cancer and the amount of residual cancer remaining after cytoreductive (tumor debulking) surgery. You may have chemotherapy every day, every week, every few weeks, or even once a month.
How and where you get the drugs
You may receive the drugs intravenously, meaning by vein, through an IV. This is known as systemic therapy. The drugs enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of your body. This makes the treatment especially effective if your cancer has spread beyond the ovaries.
Another way you may receive the drugs is by injection directly into your abdomen. This is called intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Recent clinical trials show that using both delivery methods (intravenous and intraperitoneal) extends the survival of women with advanced ovarian cancer. Occasionally drugs that are given by mouth can also be used.
Most chemotherapy is given in a doctor's office or in the outpatient part of the hospital. The treatments can last several hours each.
Kinds of chemotherapy drugs for ovarian cancer
There are several drugs your doctor may choose from. Your doctor may recommend more than one at the same time. This is called combination chemotherapy. Sometimes this works better. These are the chemotherapy drugs typically used to treat ovarian cancer:
Platinum agents such as Paraplatin (carboplatin) and Cisplatin. These are the drugs doctors most often use to treat ovarian cancer. They work by creating breaks in the genetic material inside each cell called DNA. This leads to cell death.
Taxanes, such as Taxol (paclitaxel) and Taxotere (docetaxel). These prevent cells from dividing. This class of drugs is used in combination with cisplatin or carboplatin.
Anthracyclines, such as Adriamycin (doxorubicin) and Doxil (liposomal doxorubicin). These are drugs often used if cancer recurs, or comes back.
Gemcitabine. This drug is often used if cancer recurs.
Topotecan. This drug is often used if cancer recurs.
Bevacizumab. This blocks tumors from growing new blood vessels. It is sometimes combined with chemotherapy or used as a single agent for maintenance treatment.
The side effects of chemotherapy depend on which drugs are given and at what dose. You may or may not experience a particular side effect, depending on your overall health and other medications you may be taking. Your doctor may give you instructions or medicines that can prevent or help control these side effects:
Blood cells. When drugs affect your blood cells, you may be more likely to get infections, bruise or bleed easily, and feel very weak and tired. Your doctor or nurse will check blood counts and suggest medicines that can help your body make new blood cells and recover sooner. They may also reduce your dose or postpone a treatment if your blood counts become too low.
Cells in hair roots. Some drugs can cause hair loss. Your hair will grow back, but it may be somewhat different in color and texture.
Cells in the digestive tract. Certain drugs can cause poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, or mouth and lip sores. Please tell your health care team if you experience these problems.
Some patients may notice hearing loss, joint pain, and tingling or numbness in the hands or feet. These side effects usually go away after treatment ends. You should report these symptoms to your doctor or nurse as soon as you notice them.

With temperatures forecasted to be in the 70s this weekend, all that snowmelt has got to go somewhere. And going with it, down the raised flows of the rivers, will be the region's many rafters and kayakers.
"It's about to start," said Frank Wohlfahrt, who owns and operates IRIE Rafting Company. "We haven't done any commercial rafting yet because there hasn't been any interest. But we've been out there on our own."
Because of this year's low snowpack, the rafting season on some rivers is expected to be short, though others have guaranteed flows throughout the summer.
"If it turns 70 up here and it doesn't stop, (the season) is going to be a lot quicker than if we get a few systems coming through," Wohlfahrt said.
IRIE Rafting will be tackling the Lower Truckee River and the Middle Fork of the American throughout the summer because they have guaranteed flows. Wohlfahrt expects the North Fork of the American River to be raftable until June or so and the East Fork of the Carson River to be doable almost until July, he said.
"We're not going to have the water resources we did last year," he said.
After impacts from several different user groups, including rafters and off-roaders, became noticeable at Centerville Flat and several other areas on the Carson River, the United States Forest Service has proposed regulating the area.
Though camping was initially under scrutiny at the site, which includes hot springs and other sensitive habitat, the USFS will not ban the activity, according to the proposed action released April 5.
Under the proposed action, the Forest Service would limit off-road vehicles to certain routes and require the use of certain camping equipment such as fire pans and waste management. The Forest Service also plans on revegetating the area with native plants that have been affected by the increasing popularity of the area with recreationists.
Though some rafters spoke out against banning camping at Centerville Flat, South Lake Tahoe kayaker Will Anderson is skeptical of the Forest Service's ability to protect the area with the proposed action.
"The popularity of the place has been its downfall," Anderson said. "There's got to be regulations and they've got to be enforced."

The Fix Picks NFL Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is, by just about any measure, one of our better holidays. That it's friendly and open to anyone seeking a socially acceptable excuse for caloric over-indulgence is, of course, to its credit. That there's NFL football involved with all of it is a bonus—something else to enjoy on a day dedicated primarily to joyous enjoyment, and secondarily to feeling and expressing some gratitude at having all these wonderful things to enjoy.
That we will have three NFL games to watch on our shared day off from work is pretty nice, of course, at least relative to the prospect of some other random Thursday off that leaves us watching Paula Deen deep-fry cookies or cheesecakes on the Food Network and subsequently wondering why our hearts suddenly hurt so much. That this year's Thanksgiving games all have some interest—for divisional-title reasons and watching-some-objectively-good-teams-be-good reasons—is an added bonus. We'd be watching anyway, because it is Thanksgiving and because that is what we do. The happy news, this time around, is that we'll have three good-looking games—all of them enjoyable for different reasons—to watch while we pay homage to this particular tradition.
Houston (-3.5) at Detroit
DR: Houston; JG: Houston; KtTL: Detroit
For going on a decade, and until recently, the Detroit Lions were the drunkest uncle at America's Thanksgiving festivities—a sad and occasionally embarrassing but entirely permanent guest who mostly made things weird and gave everyone else an excuse to more deeply explore the host's liquor cabinet. This year's Lions are not those years' Lions, but they're not quite last year's sparky and surprisingly good Lions, either. This year's Lions are, for all their good-time merits and undeniable fun factor, a team that seems slightly further from objectively-on-its-way than last year's breakout suggested. They will score points and give up points and take any number of ill-advised and ill-motivated penalties, but these Lions are mostly a more-orderly-than-average mess. The Texans are not perfect, and can deliver blue-chip bloopers in their own right, but they're clearly the better team in this game, if not necessarily the more broadly fun one. These Lions are far better than the Lions teams that were invited, with a held nose, to previous Thanksgivings. But against a team this much better, the result should look familiar all the same. – DR
Washington at Dallas (-3)
DR: Washington; JG: Washington; KtTL: Dallas
I have been informed, mostly by way of NFL Network binge-watching sessions while glomming off my mom's cable in advance of our heading out to the Chicago suburbs for our first Thanksgiving meal, that the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins rivalry used to be a Thing. It's a little jarring, because the Redskins have been a rather crummy franchise for most of my adult life due to owner management straight out of a 12-year old "Madden" player's handbook (PROTIP #1: Always offer 50% more money than anyone else) and across-the-board bad luck, like taking the wrong bet on whether or not a big contract would completely impede Albert Haynesworth's ability to care. As such, the Cowboys have mostly controlled this rivalry over the last decade. But the Redskins seem like the ascendant franchise this season, and possibly longer: Robert Griffin III has put his foot down as the best Michael Vick since Michael Vick except he can actually throw the ball, while the Cowboys continue to muck around in mediocrity as Jerry Jones struggles to save his dignity. What better time than Turkey Day for the Redskins to officially reverse this rivalry's path? –JG
New England (-6.5) at New York Jets
DR: New England; JG: New England; KtTL: New England
It bears repeating that, no, there is no such thing as the football gods, and even if there were they had nothing to do with Rob Gronkowski getting injured on a meaningless play toward the end of last week's meaningless blowout over the Colts. Not that it matters terribly much for the Patriots, who still have one of the league's top tight ends in Aaron Hernandez, making his big return after being sidelined since October. Then again, will Hernandez's presence, or Gronk's absence, make all that much difference? The Jets plugged a few holes in their sinking ship by dispatching the Rams last week, but New England is a different monster: The Patriots already pulled off one demoralizing win earlier this season, and as they round into their usual form, it's hard to see them looking at Mark Sanchez as anything more than a fly to be swatted. Even Sanchez's own coach, from the sound of it, would probably fast on Thanksgiving in order to swap quarterbacks with the Patriots. If only the Jets had a viable backup option. –JG

The angry left. ... when I picked up my Romney/Ryan yard signs and bumper stickers I was cautioned to keep my car in the garage because of expected vandalism. I said that "yeah, I knew about that," because of the ugliness I'd experienced in 2004/2008.
While I waited to cross the street, Romney signs in hand, a middle-aged man scowled at me as he drove by and gave me the "middle finger." I said to myself, "well, it didn't take long for the hatefulness to begin." When I got home I told my wife I'd bet her the signs would be destroyed or vandalized within 24 hours; I lost that bet because it took almost 48 hours. So, when I replaced those signs, I made another bet with her and said they won't last 24 hours: I won that bet. Since the vandalism began this election cycle I've had 14 yard signs vandalized, destroyed or stolen. So, the venom and hate in Breckenridge is alive and well, and it's not just a few people, it's many... and they are left of center. What a shame! As you might have guessed, I continue to replace the yard signs. When my wife and I were walking to our car with our signs in hand, a woman, who I'd guess was about 35 years old, leaned out of the passenger side of the car and loudly yelled "F**k Mitt Romney." Also, it should be noted here, that the phone and electrical boxes in my neighborhood have been splashed with blue paint. The police have informed me that numerous stories, like mine, have been reported. I wonder if these people, are the same ones who claim to be morally superior to the rest of us. The left should be ashamed of their own!

Brooke Shields called Miley Cyrus' performance on Sunday's VMAs "desperate."
That's a pretty good way to describe it.
Shields, who occasionally played Cyrus' mom on "Hannah Montana," was guest hosting NBC's "Today" on Monday, when she was asked about Cyrus' bizarre, overtly sexual (but not really), strange performance Sunday on MTV.
"I was Hannah Montana's mother!" she told host Willie Geist. "Where did I go wrong?"
Shields -- who knows a little bit about transitioning from child star to adult star -- said "I just want to know who's advising her, and why (the VMA routine) is necessary. ... (Our children) can't watch that. ... I feel like it's a bit desperate."
Shields said there's a difference between Cyrus and Lady Gaga trying to perform on the edge." (Gaga has) a genius behind all of it; it's not just display."
Shields said she took her young children to see Cyrus in concert while she was still on "Hannah Montana." But even then Cyrus was already trying to get away from her Disney persona.
"You could see her trying so hard to go against that," said Shields. "She can sing beautifully, and I feel like if she lets that lead, rather than let her bottom lead ... . (She's) trying so, so hard."
Shields also knows about controversy. As a child star, she played a 12-year-prostitute in the film "Pretty Baby" and paraded around at least half-naked for most of "The Blue Lagoon." She also did the infamous Calvin Klein jeans ad when she was 15, in which she huffs at the camera "Nothing gets between me and my Calvins."
Shields did give Cyrus some props for her performance.
"She went for it," she said. "You've got to give her some credit. We're all talking about her."

The PS3 sees my shared files and can play them, but the mediaserver doesn't see the PS3. Last time I tried it it saw the PS3 just fine, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I can play the videos but it tends to freeze up periodically for anywhere between a half second to a few seconds (audio and video). It doesn't matter if I'm streaming a 720p video or a little 700mb avi file. When I check out the computer during this the buffer sits at empty and I/O stats: say nothing, Current bitrate: nothing. This is the way it was when it say the PS3 and it's still the same now that it can't seem to recognize it.
Any ideas? Is it the wifi router? how can I trouble shoot this, the router is on another floor and I can't access it to run wires to the PS3.

Is that a mouse i hear?
Is that a mouse?
Or is it the sound of your bums squeaking?
Well well Yidsters, St Totteringhams is later than ever and, dare I say, may be postponed entirely this season! GULP!
The scenario runs that if Spurs win all their remaining fixtures, including Chelski at the Bridge, then they qualify for CL football next season! If Chelski win all their remaining fixtures, apart from the Spurs fixture, then they too qualify for CL football. Leaving Arsenal.....well....in the unmentionables even if they win all of their remaining fixtures!!!
Is a one man team enough to overcome Chelski at the Bridge?
Will AVB better 'Arry?
Will Mourinho return to Chelski if they fail to qualify???
Will Wenger skidaddle to PSG if Arsenal fail to qualify????
Do you honestly believe Spurs have a better squad than Arsenal today!?!?!
Questions questions.
If it's not the sound of your back passages gurgling, it's probably mine.

Squeaky bum, squeaky bum, squeaky squeaky bum bum!
I just did the BBC results predictor ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm), did each match on immediate gut feeling except for ours & yours on last day of the season, checked the table before them. Somewhat unsurprisingly, this spurs fan's gut says Arsenal will get the coveted 5th spot, with Wigan going down on GD. Chelsea were in 3rd.
I'm ok with this outcome.
- 1 Reply to not_blonde_really
I just did the same predictor and got us and the Woolwich bunch on joint 71 pts, with us then dipping out on GD. Chelsea 3rd with 73.
But I'm rubbish at predictions.
If we play like we did at Wigan,we'll end up on 68 points, and Europa League Thursdays again!!
- 1 Reply to Wayne
I know its all negative and I should be more positive but IF we haven't blown it already by the time the Chelski game arrives then we will then IMO. The Ar$e run in is easier than ours and we are not playing well at the moment plus I think our bottle will go a bit. Chelski have a lot more players that are capable of scoring than we do. Take Bale out and we are left with....Ade(if he can be bothered), Defoe (if AVB picks him) and.....Verthogen. Not really any others that would come into the "regular scorers" section. Chelski have Ba, Torres, Hazzard, Mata, Ramirez, Lampard, Moses and even Terry who are all more than capable of scoring.
That said, I honestly think our squad is better than Ar$e.
Being a Spurs supporter means I have already resigned myself to that feeling of dread but, by some miracle, if we pull it off then I will feel even better!

As our first African-American president, Barack Obama already has made history. But he's going to have to make more history if he's going to restore his job-approval rating to its first-term heights.
The odds would seem to be against him, as Alex Roarty EXPLAINS:
History says President Obama's sagging approval ratings — which this month have neared the lows of his entire presidency — aren't going to improve before he leaves the White House in 2017. And that's a troubling trajectory for Democrats feeling the pressure of reelection next year.

Public Programs
Patient Access to Medications Through Public Programs
Government programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, help Americans gain access to the medicines they need.
Affordable Care Act
The biopharmaceutical industry's top priority is to provide patients with access to high quality medicines. For more on the Affordable Care Act, click here [1].
Medicare is the government program that insures many of the nation's retirees and individuals with disabilities. Outpatient prescription medicines are generally covered by Medicare Part D, which began providing prescription drug benefits in 2006. Part D is administered by private plans using a competitive bidding system which achieves savings and preserves incentives for continued innovation in biopharmaceutical research and development. Enjoying high satisfaction rates from beneficiaries [2] ), Part D provides comprehensive, affordable access to medicines, and helps keep seniors healthier. Further, total Part D costs are $349 billion (or 45 percent) less than initial 2004-2013 projections, according to the Congressional Budget Office. And average monthly premiums for 2015 are about $32, roughly half the original estimates. Learn more about this successful government program in our Medicare Part D section [3].
Injected or infused vaccines and medicines administered or purchased by physicians are generally covered by Medicare Part B, which equates to the medical benefit provided by commercial insurance plans. Beyond certain medicines, Part B primarily provides coverage for physician and outpatient hospital services.
When a beneficiary receives prescription medicines during the course of a hospital visit or other inpatient stay, these medicines are covered by Medicare Part A. Finally, some Medicare beneficiaries choose to enroll in Part C (also known as Medicare Advantage), the program featuring private plans providing Medicare's Part A and Part B services. Most Part C plans also provide the Part D prescription drug benefit.
The 340B program was created by Congress in 1992 to help vulnerable or uninsured patients gain access to needed prescription medicines, by requiring pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide steep discounts to certain types of clinics and hospitals as a condition of their drugs being covered by Medicaid. Unfortunately, the program has strayed from its core mission and is growing dramatically, with hospitals responsible for much of this growth. While clinics that receive government grants largely use the program to improve access to medicines for needy patients, not all 340B hospitals [4] are good stewards of the program.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) support the original intent of the program and are committed to working with Congress and the administration to reform the 340B program to ensure it reaches the vulnerable or uninsured patients it was intended to help.
We believe the 340B program requires reform, including in the following areas:
- Patient Definition:The definition of "patient" for purposes of the 340B program should ensure the program's benefits flow to the individuals whom Congress sought to help, primarily vulnerable or uninsured patients.
- Hospital Eligibility Criteria: The qualifying criteria for 340B hospitals need to be calibrated to ensure proper identification of safety net facilities that serve large numbers of uninsured and vulnerable patients.
- Contract Pharmacies: The use of contract pharmacies, which enable covered entities to contract with multiple outside pharmacies to dispense drugs that receive 340B discounts, should fulfill the intent of the 340B program and directly benefit vulnerable patients.
- Consolidation: The 340B program should be reducing prescription drug costs for patients, not increasing them. However, hospitals acquiring more independent physician practices, which enable the formerly independent practices to access the hospitals' 340B discounts, can drive up costs [5] for patients and payers, in addition to reducing patient access to community treatment options.
- Oversight: Increased government oversight of the 340B program is needed to ensure program requirements, including prohibitions on drug diversion, are being met. Entities participating in the 340B program must be fully and readily accountable for properly and safely handling and dispensing medicines and ensuring program integrity.
Medicaid is a jointly run and financed by the States and the federal-government that provides access to healthcare for many low-income Americans, including children and their parents, pregnant women, and persons who qualify on the basis of disability. Millions more may qualify for Medicaid beginning in 2014, when states have additional tools to expand coverage. Medicaid is also the primary source of funding for long-term care services and provides additional benefits to the lowest income Medicare beneficiaries.
Each state administers its own Medicaid program within broad federal guidelines. While it is optional for states to offer prescription drug coverage through Medicaid, every state currently provides some form of coverage for medicines. Learn more at Medicaid.gov [6]
Veteran's Affairs
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) serves a special population: veterans with service-related disabilities and, in some cases, their families. VA provides a variety of health services, including some prescription medicines, chiefly provided through federal facilities. Learn more at va.gov [7]

Manchester police officer found not guilty of simple assault
BRENTWOOD – A jury found Manchester Police Officer Nathan Linstad not guilty of simple assault against his estranged wife at the couple's Raymond home in September.
Jurors returned their verdict around 1 p.m. in Rockingham County Superior Court roughly three hours after lawyers presented closing arguments in the case.
Linstad, 35, was charged with misdemeanor simple assault. Prosecutors alleged he grabbed his estranged wife, Melinda, in a bear hug and body slammed her to the floor while the two argued about his cell phone.
Defense lawyer Eric Wilson argued that Linstad may have been untruthful to his wife about talking to other women, but he did not get into a physical confrontation with her. Wilson maintained that the details in the police investigation and his client's wife account did not jibe when closely scrutinized.
Jurors saw photographs of Melinda Linstad's bruises to her right arm and upper right thigh.
Linstad, who joined the department in August 2001, has remained on inside duty at the police station since his arrest.
(For more on this story, see Thursday's edition of the New Hampshire Union Leader.)
Previous story follows:
BRENTWOOD – Manchester police Officer Nathan Linstad was described by a prosecutor as a "superb liar" who tried to save his job and his reputation once his wife reported that he assaulted her at their Raymond home in September.
The statement came during closing arguments in Linstad's simple assault trial Thursday morning in Rockingham County Superior Court.
"There are two sides to the defendant. There is one side that everybody sees, the police officer, the guy who gets an award. But there is another side to him, the side he keeps hidden, the side he kept hidden from his wife and everyone else," assistant county attorney Patricia Conway told jurors.
Linstad grabbed his wife in a bear hug from behind, then body slammed her to the floor after she attempted to call a woman that her husband was having an affair with, according to Conway.
Defense lawyer Eric Wilson argued that Melinda Linstad's account of the Sept. 5 assault did not jibe with bruising to her right arm and upper right thigh.
"There is no question at all that Nathan lied to Melinda, but the prosecutor is going to get up after me and say because Nathan lied to Melinda, he lied to you. But put things in perspective," Wilson said.
Nathan Linstad testified in his own defense late Wednesday afternoon, telling the jury he never laid hands on his wife.
But Conway argued that Linstad continued to lie after the assault about having a girlfriend – first to his superior officer at work during an internal investigation, then to the Raymond police detective investigating the assault.
Linstad acknowledged during his testimony that he had sex with another woman days after he told his wife he wanted out of the marriage.
The woman was the same one that Melinda Linstad attempted to call on her husband's cellphone once she told him to hand over his cellphone, according to court testimony.
Wilson said that Melinda Linstad already knew about her husband communicating with other women through text messages, emails and phone calls, and that his client had no anger toward his wife when she asked for his cellphone on the morning of Sept. 5.
"He's got nothing to hide," Wilson said. "She is finding out everything. The last thing is that phone number, and Nathan knows it's going to happen."
Wilson said Melinda Linstad's actions made no sense because after the attack, she asked her husband into the basement to review some bills on a home computer before they parted ways. She reported the matter to Raymond police once she got to work.
Melinda Linstad testified during the trial that after being warned by her husband to not call police, she called her mother, who advised her to act as if everything was normal and to call police at work.
Conway said Nathan Linstad left his Raymond home after the assault and met with his superior. Manchester police Sgt. Scott Fuller testified that he spoke with Linstad out in the department's parking lot before bringing him inside for a more complete interview. Fuller said he made a report of the conversation because it could set off an internal investigation.
"He knows this is really serious," Conway said about Linstad. "He lies to Fuller about a few things. He lies to him about having an affair, lies to him about not having a girlfriend, and says (his wife) called Bree Smith. He knows there's no Bree Smith."
"As much as the defendant wants you to believe there's some sort of conspiracy going on here against him, there isn't," Conway said.
Wilson reminded jurors that they had the ultimate power in rendering a verdict, and said there was enough evidence to counter the state's case.
"If you could come to two conclusions, one that he assaulted her, one he didn't assault her, then you must acquit him," Wilson said.
Judge N. William Delker began giving jury instructions Thursday morning.

MP3 Help
What are MP3's??
MP3's are digital audio files that have been sized down while still maintaining their original sound quality. Before there were MP3's, digital audio files took hours to download. But on a 56K modem, most MP3's can download in just a few minutes. MP3's are widely recognized as the most popular format for storing and listening to music on the World Wide Web.
What software do I need to play MP3's?
Although you can play MP3's on just about any audio player, we recommend Windows Media Player, RealPlayer or Winamp.
How do I save or download MP3's for later playback?
There are a few different processes, depending on how your player is set up. After you click the Download link, the song should either save itself automatically to a temporary directory, or a personal folder or directory on your hard drive. Or you might get a pop-up prompting you to "Open the file" or "Save to Disk". In this case, choose "Save to Disk". Your computer will then ask you where you would like to save the file. Choose a destination you can remember so you can find the MP3 later.
My download cut off. What do I do?
If your download cuts off prematurely, go back to the download page and click on the download button again. A link to the download page is emailed to you after you complete your order.
Is it safe to use my credit card?
We utilize advanced Internet technologies to make online purchasing as secure as it is convenient. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. Our SSL software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure online commerce transactions.

What is Podcasting?
Definition: A podcast is a pre-recorded audio program that's posted to a website and is made available for download so people can listen to them on personal computers or mobile devices.
Podcasting takes its name from Apple's popular iPod line of products, but it isn't limited only to iPod owners and listeners. What distinguishes a podcast from other types of audio products on the internet is that a podcaster can solicit subscriptions from listeners, so that when new podcasts are released, they can automatically be delivered, or fed, to a subscriber's computer or mobile device. Usually, the podcast features an audio show with new episodes that are fed to your computer either sporadically or at planned intervals, such as daily or weekly.
As long as you listen to podcasts only on your computer (the vast majority of podcast subscribers do), you don't need any special software other than the audio player, such as Windows Media Player or RealPlayer, you already have on your computer. But if you want to subscribe to a podcast feed, you'll need to install "podcatcher" software on your computer. The most popular podcatcher software is iTunes.

Are veterans being exploited over politics during the government shutdown?
77 Comments
I live in the Chicago area and have been an A.L. Member for at least 25 to 30 years.All my fellow post members can not express enough our diisappointment in the lack of leadership coming from all the veteran organizations during the recent government shut down.NOT one peep when they closed any monuments, memorial services etc. If not for the old WWII vets showing their grit the public probably not have known anything about our disgraceful government behavior.NOT one supposed Vets org. Leader stepped forward to take anyone to task. SHAME, SHAME!,, Maybe it's time to CHANGE our leadership. When you sleep with the curs to long you catch their FLEAS! Just my thoughts, thanks for your time.
You would think that the term benefits would mean that the disability benefits, along with the pensions of surviving dependents of military veterans, were above the political fray. They are not. They are the same as pensions and survivors benefit, medical disability benefits of civil service, medicare, medicaid of private citizens,the aging and the disabled. All of this entitlements are not considered debt when people say we would not default in the debt. The money in hand that some claim will save us from default will go to pay foreign debt, bonds and certificates but not any entitlements. Do you have enough money to live without any government benefit or entitlement? Can your source of income, small business, or big business survive with the contraction of consumer spending that it represent to loose all of these on top of the 800,000 government employees furloughed by the shutdown for without the borrowing ceiling raised they won't return to work. If you don't believe me ask your representative or senator. Stop your senseless, hate based, politically biased bitching about what you don't WANT to understand. Actually like somebody that gives a damn about the country we all swore to protect.
The one term idea is like saying that service members should not be allowed to re-enlist. Who the hell learns everything they need to learn to be as effective at possibly at their specialty in 4 years. It would be a terrible waste. We would have apprentice specialist forever. Election Law reform eliminating outside campaign financing, campaign contributions should be equally shared by all participants in any/all races. Wealthy voters should not be able to fund any candidate's campaign above what any other voter could afford. Private contributors should not be lumped together with organizations represented by elected majority representing organizations(labor/citizens action/NPO). PACs should be eliminated, their free speech demeans the free speech, and vote, that all other citizens have that don't have the same money. Let's get rid of all gerrymandering and make District really representative. These would make a difference and ensure fairness by providing a level field ensure those elected actually represent the best interests of the people.
Also, I hate this talk "our government is too big nonsense". Sorry, we have the biggest economy in the world, are military is ten times bigger than all the other countries combined. WE ARE BIG, WERE THE USA. Seriously, if people don't want to pay taxes, and have a problem with our big government then these people should just leave and find a smaller country.
The US economy is second in the world, behind the EU. The US does not even rank in the top 10 in economic growth. US military spending accounts for almost 54% of the world's total military expenditures. All that spending and we can't protect our own borders and are being run ragged by a couple bands of para-military wannabes. Heaven help us if we ever end up in a war with China. We aren't getting anywhere near what we are paying for.
You drank the Kool Aid, didn't you!
Tea Party Republicans ran explicitly on "If you elect me to Congress I will shut down the government." why are people surprized that they did exactly what they said they were going to do? When are you guys gonna get it in your heads that Republicans don't care about Vets. the only thing they care about is money and power.
Then why is it the evil Republicans have offered to provide full funding for all government operations except the ACA? If the Democrats are your friends, why is it that they are the ones who turned the deal down because they wanted more? Why is it that it is the Democrats who are deciding just who is going to suffer and who isn't? Seems the Democrats are the ones wanting more money and more power.
The problem is that we have too many programs that support people for not working and only about 50% paying taxes. The government spends way more than it takes in. Our deficit has ballooned to over 17 trillion dollars. I hear all this talk about entitlement programs. Social Security, and Veterans Benefits are not entitlements these are benefits that were earned and paid for. the problem is all the freebies who tax payers have tom fund. From what I have read each tax paying American owes China about $74,000 of our governments debt. If we don't start doing something about this lord help our grand children and great grand children. God Bless America if we ever needed this we need it now.
Please keep in mind that the people who singled out veterans as their next target to highlight the so-called "shutdown" (85% of federal government is still "working") are the SAME people who issued a report a few years ago that called returning war veterans and those opposed to illegal immigration, abortion or gun control "rightwing extremists" and capable of extreme violence. Remember, it was said that veterans are "too stupid" and are susceptible to recruitment.
Again, the problem with the government is it is now a Buy a seat government. You have to be a multi millionaire or backed y one to stand a chance to get elected. Then once in they never keep campaign promises.
Again we need to have ordinary people in power in Washington that know what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck instead of these millionaire born with a silver spoon in their mouth types in power.
Was I dreaming or did someone say the entire Democraptic party voted to give 33 million jobs to the country on our southern boarder right after they crapped on the American Flag in Arizona? Is it true that when the Mexican women found out they were pregnant, walked across the boarder and pushed the baby out at our expense, on American soil. And that makes them and 25 of their family American Citizens? Illegal's don't have to declare who their doctor is after they come across, they only have to walk to the head of the line at any hospital emergency room, anytime DAY or NIGHT! The signs after you are across the southern boarder that are placed with a button to let authorities that you are lost, are now in Chinese and Mexican! After all is said and done you will forget what these politicians that are in office RIGHT NOW are trying to give away. 11 million jobs now!!! And that's 33 million over the next ten years........33 MILLION JOBS FOLKS and say that its GOOD FOR AMERICA!!!!! Your not going to do anything, you never have and your not going to now....
DOUBLE WHAMMY! You are a veteran AND opposed to illegal immigration. According to DHS and the current administration, you are TWICE the threat. Hope you don't own any guns... that would be a TRIPLE WHAMMY!!! (Almost as bad as me.)
Dam, don't know if it showed my comment or not. Look get off your ass and vote these people out! Their not the problem, YOU ARE!!! Wine and cry, bitch and moan, then vote them back into office because your a Democrap, because your a Robopulicon. Anyone who supports an official that is supporting oBAMAA is just as guilty as he is. Its not brain surgery. K.I.S.S., keep it simple stupid! The man refused to show where he was born yet you allow him to be in office and you vote in the people who back him. Give me a break, WHO'S FAULT IS THIS MESS WERE IN!!!!!!! I'm glad as hell I don't have to depend on that yo yo to cover my back while I was in a some other country. WE ALL KNOW ITS BUSH'S FAULT. He has pointed at so many people I'm surprised he hasn't put some ones eye out. Just stay on your lazy ass and do nothing... It wual bea fine, trust me!!!
I can see that some of the people commenting here have no clue how the government operates and how the laws are written. The. "Administration" has no money, and. Cannot spend any government funds without approval from Congress. You people need to read the laws and not listen to whomever talks his or her mind. You need to talk to your Congressman because only he or she can fix Any. Monetary problems.
In 2008 and 20012 we had a chance to nominate and elect a statesman Dr. Ron Paul, who is the only one who could have brought us out of the mess we are in. But NO! The recipients of all the government giveaways decided we wanted a socialistic democrat who would give them even more. They don't stop to think that before they can be given all these things, the government must first take from someone else. Greed is going to be destruction of our country. So I guess we will just have to endure and make the most of each day that we have left.
There is an alternative to resolve this problem. Congress has muddied and watered down the Constitution so much that they have basically given themselves an Olympian throne- impossible for mere mortals to approach much less to threaten. The Federal Congress has neutered the states and rendered them worthless to a vast extent. However, it is possible for the states to strike back and to re-take their rightful position in our Republic. If enough of the states propose and approve an amendment or series of amendments to the Constitution, Congress is powerless to stop the changes. An example is the 17th Amendment that changes the election of Senators from the State Legislatures to the popular vote of the people. The Senate was originally intended to represent the state's interests while the House was to represent the people. Now, the state's have no representation- no say in the Government- and they now must beg for favors in order to survive. What then makes the Senate any different than the House? Nothing. Who speaks for the State's? No one does. Another is the Amendment that forces the Government to continue to pay both the House and Senate even in the event of a shutdown such as the one we are seeing right now. Think they are interested in restarting the Government? Not really. There is nothing hurting them.
The income tax code has been re-written and bastardized in so many ways to allow the members of both the house and senate to give away gifts- corruption made legal and now runs rampant through the Government.
I agree with what someone earlier said about gerrymandering, but that would only be a problem with the House if the Senate was still elected as the founding fathers intended. In fact, the way things used to work, if the Senator did not support the interests of his or her state, they would be recalled and replaced immediately. As things stand right now, once a Senator attains office, he or she can remain in that seat until they wish to quit and even after only 6 years they receive a pension and medical benefits.
Folks we must wake up. We must convince our State's to take back their rightful place in the Republic or things will NEVER change for the better, only the worse.
Take a look at the Libertarian party. Their platform is one of true government reform. Some of what they will do is perhaps a bit extreme but right now that is what we need. At the next election, look for the Libertarian candidate. It is not likely he or she has been in office before, We would get a whole new start and I guarantee it can't be worse than what we have now.
It doesn't matter. The voters booth ought to be where the choice is made but the sad facts are that the politicians are courting the people who will vote for them and they try to reach the largest crowd and that is not you or i my friend, it s that segment who will not work and wants to live off someone else. It is obvious to anyone who has eyes to see that the last two general elections have been decided by that group. When those who will not work outnumber those who will, the republic is lost and freedom with it. My fear is that we have already passed that threshold. Without decisive action by those that care about our country we will be no more in a very few years. Think about that when you go to vote. Once freedom is lost, it is gone forever.
Waste of time and effort. He hasn't broken any laws.
"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Our Freedom has been bought and paid for. It isn't some deficit passed on to future generations to pay. It isn't a line item in a budget. Our Freedom is born of respect, honor, duty, and yes, love. No Administration has a right to spit on that love & Freedom for any agenda, and when it does it is intolerable.
Lincoln said it, and I am paraphrasing. How can we expect to have soldiers if we do not take care of the veterans of war. A country that does not honor it's veterans will demean it's soldiers.
I think the Vetnam Vets would disagree. They were treated like dirt. This administration isn't any better or worse. It's just that now we have computers and more television stations, and they can't hide all the dirt. President Obama isn't the only one who isn't doing anything. There's plenty of Blame to pass around. The majority of them need to be voted out. They do the least amount of work but get more benefits than most workers. Something is wrong with this system. And We the People need to fix it. Go Vote next November. Vote everyone out that's been up there over 2 terms. Let your Vote speak for you.
The country is still taking in $280B every month . Out interest on debt is $25B. Social Secuirty/disability/etc. is another $20B. This leaves $235B each month to run the govt (2001) spending levels. It is against the constitution not to pay our debts and there is plenty of money to do that. This is about choices (Obama and the Dems want to make this painful to all of us so that we get mad (the news then reports it is the Republican's fault... this leads to elections). The fact is that they do have choices. Lets cancel the free cell phone program and other non-essential garbage.

I am not a Vet, but I am daughter/wife/mother of Veterans (Air Force, Coast Guard, Army, Navy). The behavior of this Administration toward the Veterans is the most shameful thing I have ever seen, and I turned 70 yesterday, so that covers a lot of ground! I believe the President should be impeached. He obviously has no use for the military and does not deserve to be Commander in Chief.
I'm 66 and a Vietnam vet. I wish he could be impeached but he can't under the law he has done nothing wrong except be immoral. I do believe that a candidate for president should be a veteran to be commander in chief.
I think so too. It probably didn't catch on in the first place because there were very few soldiers with the capacity to take the position after the revolution. Few of the presidents were soldiers in that day and the people were still afraid of tyranny, no matter where it came from. The military could have taken over any time they wanted to and still could for that matter. They would have a very hard time taking over the whole country but all the would have to do is walk into congress and declare an end to it all. Not a shot would be fired. The only reason this will not happen any time soon is: 1.Things aren't bad enough yet. 2. The Generals and Admirals running the military are by and large, very honorable men and that type of action would be against the oath they took. and 3rd, The current POTUS at any time is the one who has appointed these men and they either completely agree with him or at least owe him for their position.
Absolutely. And I specifically blame Obama because he shows no leadership and has specifically told his administration to use this crisis to cause as much pain as possible to use against his enemies in the next election. This man is a liar and traitor!
That's President Obama who along with the majority passed an affordable health bill 3 years ago. When you say his enemies do you mean the Republicans? The Republican Party must be so threatened by President Obama receiving all the credit for bringing this much needed bill in,that they shut down the Government. Why would the Republicans worry about next election big Oil Company's bought into office then and will do it again.
we already have term limits-they're called elections. What we need is campaign finance reform and publicly funded elections. As long as we continue the current thinly disguised system of bribery and graft we shouldn't be surprised when the "leaders" finally turn into extortionists.
They are hostile to anyone that is not in line with their program, this era is beginning to remind me of the Feudal Ages.
It is about time for the veterans organizations, AL, VFW, VVA, etc., to unite and throw the weight of we veterans to the fore. Who else, but the Vet is responsible for maintaining our freedoms and keeping the USA and its Constitution viable! God Bless America!
I find it very questionable as to why this administration would open the Mall for a rally in support of immigration reform and NOT for wounded warriors or WW II vets, now this.
They are more then trying to scare the public, they are down right hostile to veterans.
Anthony, let's be fair; the Mall was forced open by the Veterans and I fully support it, but if we can open it for one group, then we must allow it to be open for all groups. We can't allow our politics to come between what we know is right and what is wrong. As a former Federal Employee, I know why the Mall was closed in the first place, because the Government was shutdown and when even though the Government was closed, the Tax Payers would still have a liability to repair or replace anything that would be damaged while closed. If someone spray paint a statue, we would be all in an uproar because it was not being protected. I want our Veterans, myself included to have access to Washington as well as the many National Parks around this country, but when we say close the Government, we can't say, everything except what will cause me some displeasure. Let's be fair and tell our elected (all of them) to open our government and stop the games that is hurting the public and not those continuing to receive their benefits for doing nothing but opposing one or the other parties. This should not be about Republicans or Democrats but about the people of this nation who pay their salaries.
Bull! The executive branch of our government is try to cause as much pain as possible because they believe that everyone will blame the other guys.
Hostile to Vets, AND active duty troops. How can this administration refuse to pay death benefits to families of our KIA's?
Also stoping Social Security(?) payments of money that was taken from workers wages and federal retirees. It seems that if anyone worked and has a history of productive contribution to this country is being targeted.
Look at the payments NOT being withheld during this "crisis".
It`s not the Adminisration, but Congress that controls the money for Social Security and death benefits. We need to get the facts straight and keep it there, let the political side of our views rest. That is why we are in this mess.
When of the first lessons drummed into my head when I joined the Air Force in 1952, "You can delegate authority but not responsibility." Congress operates under the authority granted by we the people. The solution becomes available in November next year.
Amen brother!!!
While you ar at the voting booth and the incumbent is a Dem. or Rep, don't just pick the other one. You will only be getting someone else who won't do the job. Think outside the box, look for a libertarian. They aren't the kooks you ay have been lead to believe. They are possibly the only ones on the list who love America more than themselves.
The Government is out of control and trying to control our lives. Enough is Enough! We Veterans need to march on Washington DC and take control. This current government is continuing to destroy the values and Constitution of this once great country. Were our the Veteran National Leaders of the Organizations. You need to get in front of these guys.
I totally agree with Bruce. This Administration is heel bent on turning the United Stated of America into The United Socialist Republic of America. Thank God I was born in 1931, In the land of the free an the home of the brave. We were poor tenant farmers, but we didn't have the government trying to completely control our lives. Unless this younger generation doesn't wake up, this will shortly be athing of the past.
I have two words for you: Bonus Army! That ended badly for it's participants even if some good eventually came of it! No, a march on Washington would be a costly tactical error. IF we believe in small government, IF we believe that the ACA will push this country over the Socialist cliff then now is the time to stand up and be counted as taking the hit! It's gonna' hurt but if we stand tall and hold the line in the political sand come November next, we can take our country back! Veterans: VOTE FOR VETERANS!!! Let a DD-214 be price of our vote! What ever else they've got to say is so much political talk...
I would suggest that most of us are already using a Socialist from of medical or insurance needs. It is called Medicare or our military medical benefits. We should as a people want to see everyone with options for good medical treatment regardless of income. It sounds like most of the people that stand by and watch us fight their wars when we say that we are falling off a cliff. We have not fallen off due to Social Security or Medicare, but because we are selfish, we don't want our dollars to go towards helping "THEM", whoever those "THEM might be. We are a Nation of more than 300 million and as a people, we have the ability to help all of those in need, but when we see some as being less deserving than others, we are no better than those that wanted to Kill off all the Jews or enslave Blacks or telling young Women that they are not deserving of an education. If I want a Flat Screen Television, than that should be on me, but if I require some life saving procedure and it is readily available, then as a nation, I don't see anything wrong with us Uniting to make it happen. Again I say we can be very selfish until it hits our house and then we want to know why the Government is not there.
You are overlooking one item. One way or another, most of us have "paid our dues" I would have preferred not to have gone on medicare, as my costs went up and my benefits went down. Why should anyone be forced to subsidize a free ride for others in this system? What article of the Constitution is that under? As a matter of fact, what article covers the Fed being involved in any of this?
Term limits for the legislature is long overdue. It is really up to us. But a constitutional amendment would cement it. Also benefits like pension, medical, etc. should be at the politician's expense.
They shouldn't be in office long enough to deserve a pension, not to mention the fact that pensions (mostly now just government pensions) are bankrupting this country. They let us use a 401k and IRA to save for retirement. That's all they should get too. Most businesses have already recognized this fact. It's time for the government to wake up.
I believe the veterans issues are used to highlight the shutdown impact because it is a visible, emotionally charged group and most politicians are not interested in being seen as against veterans. On the other hand, veterans will have to pay the price of DC incompetence in the same way others do. I am hopeful a solution will come before our benefits are affected but if not, I for one will simply do my best to get by. Every penny of my income is generated by the government but I cannot change what is happening in DC other than to email, write letters, make phone calls, etc. Beyond that, it is just wait and see.
I totally agree with Allen Tufts' comments. They should only be allowed to serve no more than three terms. This will allowed new blood and a new era of thinking. Plus limit the lobbyist from getting their hooks in and riding them forever.
Reelection is the root cause of many of the problems, including the rampant corruption. Only a term limit of ONE TERM can solve these problems. As soon as they get elected they start soliciting bribe money for their reelection.
The downside, or hazard to Term Limits is that the unelected 4th branch, the million man/woman bureaucracy, will have even more power to corrupt the system, just as they have for years. Better, we read, then demand repeal of the 17th Amendment [for sale to the highest bidder] and we re-establish that all 537 of our elected federal officials are OUR public servants; we are not their 'subjects' -- even if Fraudulent 14th Amend-ment appears to say that!
In substance I agree with you but remember three terms in the House of Representatives is 6 years but in the Senate it is 18.
There should be a limited time for these people to be in office.
The power should be the Constitution and the People.
Congress should be just like the president or the President just like them
(poor substitute) turms limited to two. Total of four years in the House, twelve in the Senate and eight for the President.
The TEA PARTY should be removed from the Republican Party and have to caucus as an separate party.That way the crazies they represent would be marginalized.
I agree these politicians have been in control sooo long that they seem to envision themselves "untouchable" & need to be systematically relieved of their dictatorship. I have a household budget that is set easily a tear in advance. I believe we need to elect common everyday people who have a simple knowledge of the needs & desires of we common Americans who can balance a dag-gum checkbook !! We need men & women representing us who are there to serve the American people, honest, with ears deaf to any entity that think they can buy whatever they want by paying off our reps. Decisiveness, honesty, no more pay-offs, common people with more common sense than "education" (seems education doesn't indicate common sense anymore), integrity and to put it more simply - a good boyscout/girlscout Patriot. USN-Air, AC3 Bill Ebersberger
That was a typo - should read budget that is set easily a year in advance.
Does anyone have an explanation as to why the VA can spend millions in advertising during the "shutdown"? Listen to radio and count the number of ads asking all veterans to contact VA and sign up for benefits - but they're supposed to be closed! What the Hell?
We have been lead on the most bazaar slight of hand in history and just how much of any of this is real? Have you ever asked yourself just how all of the things that the present President could even get elected and stay elected with all of these things that have been brought up. A ploy since Bush and all that has taken place. We are focusing on one thing when the real thing is happening right before our eyes. Why? You will see. The
biggest deception has been to the black people of this country. We have been fooled and it is not the obvious. Birth certificate, Kenya, Stimulous funds. Look at what does not appear to be obvious. So don't insult our intelligence any longer.
I agree, the real power is for the people, and we should use it.
Congressmen and senators should be term limited to twelve years in one house and eighteen cumulative. This would allow pols to gain some experience and give the people the opportunity to keep a pol they like in office. It would still limit LIFER politicians from making a lifetime career out of one office and force them to make a major move periodically.
Another point I will make is that the debt limit should not be raised under any circumstances,because our 17 trillion dollar debt is the biggest burden on our economy and greatest threat to our national security and freedom. There is enough revenue coming in daily to service the debt, so there will be default. It would cause one major change to our system- it would cause a balanced budget.
I agree. also I think there should be a way to vote them out when it is necessary (LIKE NOW)
Yes. Permanent politicians build up little empires for themselves. All they fear is not getting reelected. They will say anything, promise anything to get reelected, and then wheel and deal behind the scenes to feather their own nests and get more money for the next election. This isn't what the Founders envisioned.
I am not sure that will ever pass in congress, but if all incumbents were defeated in 2014 it would sure send the message that the people will not allow the current situation to continue.
There are, it's called voteing!
Ya spelled that wrong Mike... Just sayin...
Not really. About 75% of all congressional seats are so gerrymandered in favor of the incumbent party, it's hardly worth it for the other side to field a candidate. And even if I don't like the guy my party sponsors, I'm probably not going to vote for the guy from the other party. Our only chance to kick out the old crooks and get some new ones is in the primary elections, even though they are very heavily controlled by the parties. And that's another reason we need to get term limits of ONE TERM.
Don't vote for either of them. Vote for the Libertarian. He IS the other candidate.
I agree that we could and should vote them out, however so many times while in the voting booth, we tend to vote for a party or individual and not for a nation. I have suggested to my Congressman many time to walk with me through the VA Hospital here in Atlanta or to visit my community where no millionaires live. It is funny, he all the time write me back with a reason why he voted against what is best for the people, but when I made the offer to organize a meeting in my community or a visit to the VA, there has been nothing but silence from his office. I did notice that my community was in an uproar when they found the boat docks closed last weekend and those that cheered on this closure was was all upset because their leisurely weekend was being interrupted by this shutdown. That is why we can't vote them out. It don't matter until it hit right outside our front door. There needs to be a real change to our constitution, one that will invoke term limits on all political office holders.
You are ABSOLUTELY correct. Too many of our congressmen, and senators have been in office WAY too long, and have no idea what it's like out here in the "real world". We need TERM LIMITS for all those offices!
Yes. The limit should be ONE TERM. They all spend way too much time and energy working on their reelection. Limiting them to one term would solve a whole bunch of problems, not the least of which is career politicians who have no idea what the real world is like.

Homage á Bages: Dinner with Jean-Charles Cazes
Post by Alex Shaw | April 1st, 2012
Not surprisingly our trip to Bordeaux is not ALL about the wine: this is France after all. During the day, our entire focus is on tasting wine (upwards of 100
today alone). But once the sun sets, we get treated to some of the greatest food in the world. Typically our dinners are in chateaux: with their grand rooms, high ceilings, and Renaissance art, they certainly inspire awe. But this evening, a few of us were fortunate to dine with Jean-Charles Cazes from Chateau Lynch-Bages.
After our tasting of Lynch-Bages' four 2011 releases (Les Ormes de Pez, in St. Estephe, Lynch Bages, Echo de Lynch Bages, the house's second wine, and Blanc de Lynch Bages) at the chateau, we drove around the corner to Cordeillan-Bages, the property's Michelin-starred restaurant. It's not a stretch to say that this was the single greatest meal I've had out of my three trips to Bordeaux for en primeur.
Rather than going straight to our table we were led to an intimate lounge-like space, with deep couches and comfortable chairs surrounding coffee tables. A bottle of Krug Grand Cuvée was poured (nothing is quite as refreshing as Champagne after a long day of tasting barrel samples), and conversation quickly began to flow about the history of Lynch-Bages and of JJ Buckley. We were handed menus, and once the Champagne was finished, we were escorted to our table.
The magnificence of great French restaurants, Michelin-starred restaurants in particular, is the service. Every detail
was perfect. Glasses filled, silverware changed, bread offered, all at exactly the right moment without ever distracting from Mr. Cazes's absorbing company. From our erudite host, to the place settings, to the food, to the wine (2009 Senechaux Blanc, from Domaine des Senechaux, Lynch-Bages' Chateauneuf property, 2005 Les Ormes de Pez, and 1996 Lynch Bages), the meal was the epitome of elegance, executed flawlessly.
It's impossible to describe the quality of Chef Jean-Luc Rocha's food accurately—hopefully my photos do it some small measure of justice. Each course was
more stunning than the next. Oysters and caviar, fois gras, lamb, sweetbreads, and stunning desserts, all enjoyed while dining with Jean-Charles Cazes, easily one of the most interesting and intellectual chateau owners in the Medoc.
When the night finally drew to a close, the six of us from JJ Buckley could barely contain ourselves on the drive back to our hotel. You get accustomed to, and hopefully not jaded by, the great food at en primeur: succulent beef, incredible cheese, local fish, pâté and all the wonderful things that make up French cuisine. But every now and then, a night far exceeds your wildest expectations. This was one of those nights. And we all knew it.
THANK YOU Mr. Cazes!

What is up with the new release of PS3 Media Server? Mencoder seems to be having problems playing mkv videos files. Nothing I have will play anymore.
"Use FFmpeg instead" you say. Well I did, and it works. BUT this encoder does not handle subtitles very well.
I went back to the old 1.81 version again and now everything is perfect again. And it seems to have a lot more options in the Mencoder tab as well.
So once again, what is up with v1.91 and why should anyone upgrade? However, thanks for a great software none the less!

John the Evangelist presents Andrew as a disciple of John the Baptist. When Jesus walked by one day, John said, "Behold, the Lamb of God." Andrew and another disciple followed Jesus. "Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, 'What are you looking for?' They said to him, 'Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?' He said to them, 'Come, and you will see.' So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day" (John 1:38-39a).
Little else is said about Andrew in the Gospels. Before the multiplication of the loaves, it was Andrew who spoke up about the boy who had the barley loaves and fishes (see John 6:8-9). When the Gentiles went to see Jesus, they came to Philip, but Philip then had recourse to Andrew (see John 12:20-22).
Legend has it that Andrew preached the Good News in what is now modern Greece and Turkey and was crucified at Patras.
"...[T]he Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, 'It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word'" (Acts of the Apostles 6:2–4).
