Thanks for the game thread, gonna actually watch this game in respect to Anthony Davis, potentially a top 5 player in the NBA.
Next 5 games are against teams with losing records. If we can't get at least 3 out of 5, it will say a lot about this team maybe being as bad as its record.
For Christ's sake Knicks, just win a freaking game.
I just want Hardaway to get some time. Damn a Davis. Last time I looked he wasn't in a Knicks uniform. It's Knicks or nothing!!!!
The home crowd is just waiting to boo it seems. C'mon, no booing tonight, let's go Knicks! We need Kmart to be huge tonight if Davis is his responsiiblity.
Felton and Bargnani have developed some nice chemistry.
Real talk, fellas. Given his effort on both ends of the court, is Bargnani our best player right now?
Amare's in... and there was our momentum.
Ooops, went out to see the oldboy movie, just got back sorry
JR Smith is terrible right now.
Edit: Well, he blows the layup, but drains the 3.

United States Attorney
District of the Virgin Islands
Ron de Lugo Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse
Thursday, November 8, 2012
Virgin Islands Senator Alvin Williams, Jr. Indicted for Operating and Participating in a Criminal Enterprise that Engaged in Bribery, Wire Fraud and Mail Fraud
St. Thomas, USVI - A federal grand jury today returned an indictment charging Virgin Islands Senator Alvin Williams, Jr., 34, with operating and participating in a criminal enterprise whose members and associates, engaged in illegal activities, including bribery, mail fraud and wire fraud. Two of Williams' legislative staff members, including Kim Blackett, 29, also were charged in the indictment.
The indictment was announced by United States Attorney for the District of the Virgin Islands Ronald W. Sharpe, Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent-in-Charge Joseph S. Campbell, Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent-in-Charge Eric Barnard, United States Marshal Cheryl Jacobs, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (IRS- CI) Special Agent-in-Charge José A. Gonzalez, Department of Education Special Agent-in-Charge Yessyka Santana, Virgin Islands Police Commissioner Henry White, and Virgin Islands Inspector General Steven van Beverhoudt. All of these agencies comprise a joint federal and local Public Corruption Task Force.
"The prosecution of public corruption is a top priority of the U.S. Attorney's Office," U.S. Attorney Sharpe said. "It is a breach of the public trust for public officials to use their office for personal gain. I encourage anyone with direct knowledge of illegal acts or who has any information concerning corruption in the Virgin Islands to call the Public Corruption Task Force at (340) 715-6516."
"Despite previous indictments of law enforcement officers and other public officials, some individuals continue their efforts to use public office for private financial gain," said FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Joseph S. Campbell. "The FBI is committed to fighting public corruption and will continue to target individuals who do not uphold their responsibilities as public officials and therefore, undermine the public trust."
According to the indictment, on September 5, 2009, Williams gave the Commissioner of the Virgin Islands Department of Public Works $10,000 in cash in an attempt to bribe the Commissioner with regard to granting future work to Ace Development, Inc., a company in which Williams had an interest.
The indictment, which contains both Virgin Islands and federal charges, further alleges that from February 21, 2007, to November 18, 2011, Williams solicited a bribe from the developers of the Raphune Vista housing project on St. Thomas. The indictment also alleges that Williams promoted legislative action and supported the authorization of funding and zoning of the project in exchange for which Ace Development, Inc. received a contract related to the construction of the Raphune Vista project. The indictment further alleges that, as part of the contract, Ace Development, Inc. used and/or rented to the developers of the housing project, pieces of construction equipment.
The indictment alleges that between September 1, 2008, and September 31, 2008, Williams solicited and received a bribe of $10,000.00 in campaign contributions from the developers of the Tutu Park wind turbine project, in exchange for Williams' influence and promotion of legislation in support of the wind turbine project. The indictment also alleges that between September 22, 2008, and September 2009, Williams solicited a bribe of $25,000.00 in campaign contributions from the developers of the Tutu Park wind turbine project, in exchange for Williams' influence and promotion of legislation in support of the project.
The indictment also charges that from January 2006 to December 2011, Williams and a legislative staff member failed to deposit certain campaign contributions into the requisite campaign account, made individual expenditures and cash expenditures other than petty cash expenditures from a campaign account, and submitted false Campaign Disclosure reports that failed to include certain campaign contributions. The indictment further charges that in the Summer of 2010 and in August 2010, Williams solicited bribes to legislative staff members by offering to increase the staff members' salaries, allegedly for merit; in exchange for which the staff members would withdraw a portion of the increased salaries in cash and make the cash available to Williams. The indictment further alleges that from September of 2010, to July 28, 2011, Williams received a bribe when he increased the salary of a legislative staff member, allegedly for merit; in exchange for the legislative staff member withdrawing a portion of the increased salary in cash and making the cash available to Williams.
The indictment also alleges that from April 2007 to February 2008, and from January 2008 to October 5, 2011, Williams and a legislative staff member committed federal wire fraud as Williams sought online degrees from the University of Phoenix. The indictment alleges that the staff member falsely submitted various documents that were generated, created and authored by others under the direction of and in the name of Williams. The indictment also charges that from January of 2008, to October 5, 2011, Williams and defendant Kim A. Blackett, a member of Williams' legislative staff defrauded the Virgin Islands government by using legislative and public funds for doing non-legislative work, namely pursuing an on-line university degree for Williams.
"As the law enforcement arm of the U.S. Department of Education, the Office of Inspector General will aggressively pursue anyone who games the Education system for their own selfish purpose," said Yessyka Santana, Special Agent-in-Charge of the U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General Southeastern Regional Office.
The indictment seeks forfeiture of any property which constitutes or is derived from the proceeds of Williams' alleged illegal activities, including proceeds in the amount of $1,129,365.76.
"These individuals have allegedly abused their powers by utilizing their positions to discreetly conduct illegal activities," said IRS-CI Special Agent-in-Charge José A. Gonzalez. "IRS-CI is committed to following the money trail to ensure that public officials who use their office to line their own pockets are brought to justice and deprived of their ill-gotten gains."
If convicted of the charges, Williams and Blackett face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed a violation of the federal criminal laws. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
The case is being investigated by the Public Corruption Task Force. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Kim R. Lindquist, Nolan Paige and Kelly Lake.

Here is another clipping of a short obituary:
© Joan Hill, Roots'n'Leaves Publications
Joan this story reminded me so much of my Julia Gavin Kunkel. it is such a tragic tale. I wonder how it affected her children. BTW what is the P M church?ReplyDelete
I just have miscellaneous bits and piece about her, her Jabez (my grandfather was also a Jabez Burns McPherson, and a cousin to her Jabez), and their children. I do know that I found, in the last two fed. census reports of his life, her Jabez was alone and living in boarding houses. Begs a question(s) of which I haven't yet to begun unraveling.
The P.M.church was called the "Pioneer Methodist" or the "Primitive Methodist" church, an evangelical church given to day long (or longer) "camp meetings," as was "David's Band, which had a very small number of churches --- if I remember correctly, it reached a high point with 124 churches, primarily in Michigan - and apparently Wisconsin.
Childbirth was so much more dangerous back then! Some things are better now.ReplyDelete
I just couldn't imagine the shock to her children who had gone off on a holiday excursion returning to find their mother dead --- after just a few days before welcoming a baby brother. It was sad and shocking. Thanks for stopping by ---I always enjoy your comments.Delete

Tag: no trading on Summer Solstice
Summer Solstice means millions not played
- 4:14 pm Tuesday, June 24th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Twice a year the sun provides us with a solstice—one beckons in summer and the other winter. Each bring with it either the longest or shortest day of the year. While the difference in daylight time amounts to a second or so, one second on Wall Street today ain't want it used to be.
We all know that time is money but never has a second in time carried with more weight —and the potential for making or losing billions—than it does in the markets today.
You can thank high frequency trading (HFT) for that fact as stocks don't trade in [More]

Amazon Deal Does It Again
Image from: Amazon
Remember last year when group buying sites were all the rage? Consumers couldn't get enough of them, analysts loved talking about them, and retailers feared them. Well, other than Groupon's rocky IPO, we haven't heard a lot about group buying sites recently. In fact, it seems like consumers are getting bored of them as well. Since peaking last summer, traffic to the two largest group buying sites has steadily fallen.
But despite all this, newcomer AmazonLocal is jumping into the game head first. AmazonLocal first started offering deals in a few select markets in June; since then, it has grown to attract over 1 million consumers each month. To really get consumer attention, last week, AmazonLocal offered a nationwide deal of a $10 Amazon gift card for $5. The deal skyrocketed AmazonLocal daily traffic to 3-times its typical rate. The Amazon deal was so popular that they sold 1 million gift cards in less than 17 hours and attracted tens of thousands of more subscribers.
This deal is reminiscent of the Amazon gift card promotion LivingSocial offered back in January 2011, shortly after a hefty invest by Amazon in the company. On January 19, 2011, LivingSocial offered a nationwide deal of a $20 Amazon gift card for $10. And as you can see, consumers jumped on it.
Most analysts say that the Amazon deal put LivingSocial on the map and helped propel it to Groupon size proportions. So why not do it again on its own group buying site, Amazon probably mused. And by all accounts, it seemed to have worked. Reports won't stop buzzing about the deal, some calling it the "most successful in terms of deals sold as well as revenue generated." So keep your eyes (and wallet) on AmazonLocal, this site is coming at you with guns blazing.

Iowa city files 2nd appeal to reopen post office
Published On: Dec 31 2012 08:56:16 AM CST
Evansdale has filed a second appeal to reopen its post office.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier says the appeal was filed Dec. 21 with the Postal Regulatory Commission. It's unclear when the commission might rule.
The U.S. Postal Service closed the Evansdale branch on Oct. 21, 2011.
The cash-strapped Postal Service says closing the Evansdale branch would save money, but records show revenue far exceeded expenses that included lease payments and a full-time clerk.
Postal Service spokesman Richard Watkins says the closure decision was based on usage as well.

Chic Monaco Royal Puts on Feathers and War Paint for Gucci-Sponsored Equestrian Event
Natives have a few things to celebrate in their ongoing culture war—they can claim victory in recent clashes with No Doubt and Paul Frank Industries. And the run-in with Victoria's Secret was at worst a tie (the lingerie maker announced it will not include any footage of Karlie Kloss in a feather headdress in this evening's telecast of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show). But if change is coming, ever so slowly, on the home front, the state of American Indian cultural identity in the world still has a long way to go.
Take the getup worn by Charlotte Casiraghi, a member of the royal family of Monaco and the granddaughter of Princess Grace, for this past weekend's Paris Masters International Jumping Competition, an event sponsored by Gucci. Britain's Daily Mail sums up the Native reaction in its headline: "Monaco princess Charlotte Casiraghi branded 'ignorant' over Native American costume at Paris showjumping event".
Casiraghi, known for her equestrian prowess, has appeared on the cover of French Vogue and currently appears in Gucci advertisements running in France.
Here's some footage from the event posted to the Daily Mail's YouTube channel:
This marks arguably the second year in a row that Casiraghi has displayed racial "ignorance" with her choice of costume at the competition. The following image turned up on Tumblr:
"So it's for a good cause, huh?" wrote Tumblr user Prin-ses-ka-ro-LEEN. "How about supporting the end of minority stereotyping while you're at it and knocking this bullshit off next year."

As you might imagine, there is a wealth of research on pregnancy and childbirth. However, it might surprise you to learn that, despite all of this information, healthcare providers still don't have definite answers to many of the questions surrounding childbearing.
The "gold standard" of clinical research is the large double-blind study, wherein one group of participants receives the treatment being studied and one group does not. These groups are assigned randomly in order to reduce bias. Neither the people participating in the study nor the people conducting it know who is actually getting the treatment and who is not.
This type of research is very hard to conduct among pregnant women. The health and wellbeing [1] of the baby must be considered, along with the health and wellbeing of the mother. It is especially difficult to design a "blind" study when considering holistic alternatives. For example, if researchers were doing a study on the effects of hydrotherapy on childbirth, it would be obvious to the woman in the study, her care provider, and the researchers if she were using a shower or bathtub during labor.
Care providers must depend on research that might not meet the double-blind gold standard, but that has credibility because it has been repeated several times with similar results, or because it tested the same participants before and after an intervention. They also rely on case studies, their own knowledge base of physiology and biochemistry, and on the practices of other obstetric providers.
All these types of knowledge are used to develop evidence-based practice standards, which reflect the current understanding of pregnancy and childbirth. In evidence-based practice standards, the research and other evidence supporting a particular practice is graded. A practice that was demonstrated to be effective and safe based on a large double-blind study would receive a higher grade than a practice based on a smaller study, an observational study, or on the opinion of childbirth experts. Thus, an evidence-based practice standard gives the care provider an indication of how strong the evidence about the practice is, and whether the practice is likely to be helpful, likely to be harmful, or somewhere in between. As new research is done, the suggested best practices change.
This article reflects these limitations, and you should understand that while you will not find absolute answers here, you might gain a deeper understanding of some childbearing issues.
There is considerable research that indicates that women who are fully involved in their prenatal care and birth, who are able to advocate for their wishes and for their infant's healthcare, and who feel that their wishes have been honored by their caregivers feel more satisfied with and empowered by their experiences. (1,2)
Several holistic practices and complementary therapies have been studied in pregnancy and childbirth. There is some evidence that women who use holistic therapies have increased satisfaction with their birth experience, and have lower rates of medical interventions during birth. (2) The following is a partial list of holistic practices and complementary therapies used in childbirth, along with benefits noted in the research.
The Cochrane Library is a collection of research analyses, with about one-third of its articles devoted to childbearing. In an attempt to summarize the research findings about pregnancy and childbirth, reviewers of the Cochrane Library have evaluated the evidence and come up with categories to describe childbearing practices. The categories include the following:
Some of the most controversial, yet common, practices encountered in pregnancy and childbirth are outlined below, along with research findings. We also include the likelihood of the practice being beneficial, as concluded by Enkin et al.'s review of the Cochrane Library findings. (30)
Practice: Group B Strep screening and treatment
Research findings: Antibiotic treatment in labor of women colonized with GBS appears to reduce the likelihood of the infant becoming ill with GBS sepsis.30 Risks of universal screening and treatment include antibiotic allergic reaction. The GBS infection rate among newborns has decreased with universal screening, but the rate of neonatal e-coli infection has simultaneously increased. (31)
Benefit: Clearly beneficial
Practice: Epidurals, intrathecals, or spinal anesthesia
Research findings: Most effective at providing pain relief for most women in labor. Woman remains alert and conscious. Side effects may include increased risk of cesarean section, vacuum or forceps delivery, low blood pressure, headache, backache. (30,32,33,34)
Benefit: Trade-off between beneficial and adverse effects
Practice: Pain medication (non-epidural forms)
Research findings: May provide adequate relief from pain for some women. Side effects may include a "drugged" feeling, respiratory depression in the newborn, newborn irritability. (30,35,36)
Benefit: Trade-off between beneficial and adverse effects
Practice: Lying on one's back
Research findings: May decrease oxygenation of the uterus by up to 30%, resulting in less oxygen to the baby and less effective contractions.30 May promote posterior positioning of the baby. (37)
Benefit: Likely to be harmful
Practice: Obstetric ultrasound
Research findings: May be done to resolve questions of estimated due date, the number of babies, the size, anatomy, and wellbeing of the baby, the amount of amniotic fluid, and the position of the placenta. (30) A few studies have questioned the safety of obstetric ultrasound, raising issues such as dyslexia and low birth weight, but the findings have not been repeated with larger well-designed studies. (38,39,40) Nevertheless, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cautions against the use of ultrasound unless it is medically indicated, as does the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine.
Benefit: Likely to be beneficial
Practice: Continuous fetal monitoring
Research findings: The use of continuous fetal monitoring has been associated with an increase in cesarean section, forceps, and vacuum extractor rates, without any evidence of benefit to the infant. It has not been associated with a decrease in infant mortality rates, increased APGAR scores, or a decrease in problems associated with a lack of oxygen to the baby. (41,42,43,44)
Benefit: Trade-off between beneficial and adverse effects
Practice: Episiotomy
Research findings: Women most likely to receive episiotomy are first-time mothers, those with a long pushing stage, or women whose baby's have a low heart rate at the end of labor. (48,49,50) Episiotomies are associated with increased pain after birth and more severe tears. (48)
Benefit: Likely to be harmful
Practice: Elective induction
Research findings: Elective inductions are those undertaken for the convenience of the mother and the provider, and may be done for many reasons: to take advantage of help from extended family, work schedules, living a great distance from the hospital, or general discomfort at the end of pregnancy. Especially for first-time mothers, elective inductions are associated with a higher cesarean section rate than found for women who enter labor spontaneously. (51,52,53,54) Induction has also been associated with higher use of forceps or vacuum extractor and postpartum hemorrhage. (51,55,56)
Benefit: Not evaluated
Practice: Inducing after rupture of membranes (water breaking) before labor starts
Research findings: The bag of water provides protection from infection, and therefore it has been common for women to have labor induced if the water breaks. However, most women will start to have contractions within a day of their water breaking, and the most recent research does not indicate an increased infection risk after 24 hours. Avoiding vaginal exams in the absence of active labor seems to be the best way to avoid infection. (57,58)
Benefit: Trade-off between beneficial and adverse effects
Practice: Restricting food and liquids during labor
Research findings: Initially used to reduce risk of breathing the stomach contents into the lungs if a woman vomited while under anesthesia, a real but rare risk. The work of the intestines slows during labor, as the body's resources are devoted to the contractions of the uterus, however, labor is a strenuous activity requiring calories, and fasting during labor has not been shown to guarantee an empty stomach should anesthesia become necessary. Dehydration can result from restricting fluid intake. (26,30)
Benefit: Unlikely to be beneficial
Of course, there are many other topics of interest surrounding pregnancy and childbirth, and not all can be covered here. If you are interested in reading further about childbearing research, the Childbirth Connection [2] website has an excellent summary of current evidence and research findings.
With the development of the Cochrane Library, the field of obstetrics was among the first to promote widespread distribution of research findings through searchable research reviews. (27) Sadly, there is some evidence that women are not receiving care that reflects our understanding of best childbirth practices. The Childbirth Connection, a 90-year-old organization devoted to promoting maternity care, has conducted recent surveys of women. The general conclusion was that holistic practices and beneficial activities that should be used by healthy women, such as walking during labor, drinking liquids, and using an upright position for pushing, were used by only a few women.
Additionally, many women reported experiencing several interventions not generally indicated for healthy women. Women also reported being disenfranchised from decision-making and feeling pressured into interventions by their caregivers. Although most of the survey participants noted that they wanted full information about risks and benefits of interventions, their level of knowledge at the time of the survey indicated that they lacked complete information. (28,29) Clearly, birthing families must ask questions of their care providers about any proposed plans, and childbirth professionals must remain alert to recommended practice changes and evidence-based practice standards.

PIKE COUNTY, PA — The controversial "wet crossing" of the Lackawaxen River began last week following ongoing delays due to unusual amounts of rainfall and hurricane impacts in the region. The crossing is nearing completion as crews from Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) and its contractor, Henkels and McCoy, work to fill the 15-foot-deep trench excavated during the ongoing expansion of TGP's 300 Line Project.
Wet crossings are conducted in flowing water resulting in increased sedimentation below the excavation site. The practice has the potential to adversely affect aquatic life forms from macroinvertebrates to fish, and requires careful monitoring of turbidity levels.
Earlier this year, the Pike County Conservation District (PCCD) noted in its spring newsletter, "The District repeatedly voiced concerns during review of the Pike County portion of the project about a 'wet crossing' of the Lackawaxen River proposed at the project's 11th hour by Tennessee Gas Pipeline. TGP's construction plans and permit applications originally called for best management practices (BMPs) designed to divert flow around the trench excavation, which is the norm for in-stream work in Special Protection Waters such as the Lackawaxen. After much discussion and in spite of local concerns about the environmental impacts and impacts to recreational use of the River, the 'wet crossing' method was approved by DEP. [Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection]."
Pike County commissioners and Lackawaxen Township supervisors considered an appeal of the permit, but opted instead for a TGP-proposed settlement whereby TGP would conduct the wet crossing during anticipated lower flows in August to fulfill the company's time commitments and contractual obligations.
"The District remains concerned with the 'wet crossing' procedure, and believes that TGP should have been required to utilize an alternative crossing method which is less environmentally harmful and more compliant with the state's antidegradation requirements," concluded PCCD.
While the crossing was being finalized this week, Beecher updated the PCCD board at its October 17 meeting. "One of the things we've learned with this project is that everything takes longer than they tell us it's going to. Things went pretty quickly to get the trench dug, but the trench kept filling in with material from the flows in the river, so it took them longer to get the depth they needed and to get the pipe into the trench."
Even so, Beecher said, "It went about as well as we could have expected. We had some high turbidity measurements the first day." Beecher expressed concerns that the backfilling of the trench and removal of the temporary bridge will create substantial sedimentation. PCCD staff will continue to take turbidity readings.
"All in all, it went relatively smoothly considering the magnitude of the project," she added. "It certainly was not a totally clean project. The first day they were excavating, the river was pretty nasty looking and there was a plume of sediment in the Delaware River as far as we could see."
Jerry Castillo, manager of the environmental permitting group at TGP's parent company, El Paso Corporation, said that crews were working round the clock to get the crossing done. "There's a level of urgency associated with what we're doing," he said. The company took samples at specified distances at least every three hours to record turbidity levels. Castillo said the numbers stayed within permit levels.
Beecher said there has been additional discussion about the crossing of Shohola Creek, which TGP has likewise proposed to change from a dry to a wet crossing. "We really raised objections to that and so did DEP and the Army Corps of Engineers. DEP was very supportive of our position that it needed to be done according to what was in the permit."
Completion of the Shohola Creek crossing will conclude the major stream crossings in Pike County, but PCCD remains concerned about the pace of restoration. "We're still having pretty frustrating discussions with TGP about getting restoration work done, particularly in some of the Exceptional Value stream corridors," she said. "Their restoration crews are moving very, very slowly."
Beecher noted that her staff has seen some improvement with BMP management, but that problems still exist. "The BMPs are overwhelmed because there's so much area disturbed and they're not designed to take the kinds of flows that they've been getting. It comes down to the fact that they've got too much earth disturbed to manage all of the BMP maintenance to prevent pollution."
With the approach of TGP's next project, the Northeast Upgrade Project (NUP) in 2012, PCCD is trying to mitigate impacts in advance. "We've had a couple of meetings with them and talked about the issues of disturbing less right of way at one time, but also, trying to get the restoration work done in a more timely manner. DEP is also pressing that issue and so are the other conservation districts that havebeen involved."
El Paso spokesperson Penny Paul said environmental compliance is a priority for TGP and that the company adheres to federal, state and other regulatory processes related to permitting and reporting.
"We are committed to aggressively pursuing restoration activities," she added. "It is our policy to fully protect the environment, while mitigating the adverse conditions we have faced. Our goal is to restore the area to its original condition. We will stabilize the area for the winter and complete final restoration next spring when conditions improve."
One new concern surfaced just prior to the PCCD board meeting. Beecher shared the news that El Paso Corporation had been sold to Kinder Morgan for $38 billion. "It occurred to me that for $38 billion, maybe Tennessee Gas can do some of the restoration work that we've been pressuring them to get done. I'll be following up on that."

Thank you,
I just started doing pull ups today. I am using proper form. I can only do three in a set right now. How many sets and how often should I do this to become stronger and give muscles proper rest?
Thank you,
I often use 3-4 sets as a warm-up for back, chest, and arms day. 24 hours rest is fine.
This account and all comments made by account holder are for entertainment purposes only, anabolic steroid use is illegal without a prescription.
Keepin Green.
That's good you have a starting point, variety, overload and regularity. And start a pyramid, each day trying to add 1 more. You could do pull ups daily.
But no matter what you do, do not do the crossfit pullups, meaning with a kip..you wanna do a real pull up, like this.
Go get 'em, hard charger!
Yes, that is how i do them except i go a slower and up till eyes are even with bar. Thanks for the informationeveryone.
I do pullups every day to finish my workout and on rest days I still do pullups
Try using an underhand grip to increase your volume, most people can do more chin ups then pull ups. Also, very small sets are effective for increasing your volume. So if you can do a set of 5 of chin ups you might be able to do 5 sets of 2, doubling your total volume.
Well I founf if I bring my grip (arms closer) a little closer I increase volume. Is this not a good thing? should I just underhand it. Ill try that. I can do 3 at a time. I think I did like 8 sets of 3 regular. Then grip closer 3,3,5,3,3,4,4,3,2. lol I keep adding more. I figure eventually I will be able to do more with proper grip soon enough.
Imagine yourself hanging off a cliff or a building and you have to pull yourself up, visualize your back getting wider and with hard work... you will get what you give.
Looks like I need about a 1" pipe instead of 1/2" for grip. Does this matter?
Got It DJ. will do
And Stu, if your grip fails, as it will when you start doing pull ups like a pro. Invest in some straps or hooks that will wrap around the bar and greatly improve your grip.
Great feedback. It was raining today. My Bar is outside. I decided today since its back day. To do dumbell rows for the first time. I love them. I will be doing Them every Wensday along with my pull ups. I want wings. Build Them lats up and the back. Whoop Whoop
Just ordered some ab straps also because i do crunches, but the seem to be rough on the lower back. I belive doing leg lifts and side 2 side leg lifts with these straps on the pull up bar would be better on the lower back and more effective.
The possibilities with a pull up bar are endless. Also try cliffhangers and those will tax your lats for sure.
Shrugs look promising
Yea, I built my pullup bar. A bag of quickcrete, 2 10ft posts, and a 1/2" piece of gas pipe i found under my neighbors house. Yhe best one on the block. lol
good info in this thread.

By Dr. James R. Feucht, Extension Professor, Horticulture, Colorado State University
Less is more -- and better -- when water is involved. Cost increases, as well as shortages thanks to a low snow-pack, make water conservation a priority in 2002. With a few tricks, you can cut water consumption and still maintain a beautiful yard.
Check your sprinkler system. After danger of frost is past, turn it on, and observe where the water goes. Adjust sprinkler heads to point water where it is needed. In some cases, a different type of head may be in order. Most sprinkler systems are designed to water a lawn, but often they overlap and irrigate shrubs, trees and flower gardens that need less frequent watering. You may need to change entire portions of your sprinkler system to gain control over location and frequency of watering.
North exposure lawns do not need as much water as south or west exposures. Change your sprinkler system to occasionally skip waterings on north exposures, and to provide more water to sunny areas.
Most systems sprinkle in a circle or semi-circle pattern. Change your lawn to fit the sprinklers. Do away with corners that often are skipped. In place of lawn, consider ground covers that, once established, require little or no water. Creeping junipers, sedums and the old-fashioned hen-n-chicks do the job well.
Avoid large areas of gravel and plastic. While this method decreases lawn, it does not necessarily reduce water consumption. Light-colored gravel reflects a lot of heat and can create a microclimate resulting in greater water loss from the surrounding lawn. Black plastic over shrubs and trees creates oxygen starvation, causing these plants to develop shallow roots just beneath the plastic. After a few years, even drought-enduring trees such as Russian-olive develop shallow roots and lose their drought-tolerance. Plastic and gravel, therefore, are self-defeating. The new "breathable" fabrics are a better choice.
Wood chips or bark chunks, used without plastic or fabric, make a good mulch. These decorative materials allow air and water penetration, yet keep the soil cool. Heavier bark chunks are best in strong wind areas. Light weight wood chips will blow. Apply these mulches at least four inches deep to conserve water, as well as to discourage moisture loss and weeds. Over a period of time, materials closest to the soil will begin to break down to improve the soil. Add new chips after a few years.
Use drought-tolerant plants to reduce water consumption. Keep them separate from lawn and other plants that require more water. Design a succulent garden. Desert plants and nearly all succulents must have sandy, well-drained soils, of which there are few in Colorado.
With some effort you can convert your soil. Put three inches of coarse sand on top and incorporate it with a rototiller. Repeat using one inch of organic material such as aged barnyard manure or peat moss. This provides a well-drained top soil six to nine inches deep. Along with cacti and other succulents, consider gazania for a splash of color. This low-growing, drought-tolerant plant grows readily from seed and produces large showy flowers. Another choice is Cape Marigold, often called African daisy. This almost forgotten annual comes in a variety of colors including yellow, apricot and white. A variety of sedums or stonecrops also will produce interesting foliage, texture and color changes. Dragon's blood is one of the most popular. It produces a rose-red flower during the summer months.
Before you water, dig down and find out if the soil is dry. Don't gauge water needs on soil surface appearance. In this semi-arid climate, the surface dries quickly, but evaporation slows beneath. This is because dry soils tend to insulate, acting much as mulch. This insulation reduces heat conduction deep into the soil.
Black organic soil also is desirable, but it builds up heat and can be a water waster. Dark soils absorb heat and can need water as frequently as light-colored soils. The type of organic material makes a difference. Many mountain peats create a water problem. When they're dry, they are difficult to wet and they repel water. When they are wet, they are difficult to dry. The best organics to improve water-holding capacity are coarse materials such as compost and barnyard manures.

Fly Fishing Noob Interested in a boat
Okay, so before I post my question let me give you a little background.
I grew up fishing with casting and spinning gear. Used an old bamboo fly rod with my grandfather as a kid. I have recently taken up fly fishing as a serious hobby as an adult.
I am pretty geared out for this trout season, and my casting is pretty good (for a beginner) as I took the summer to do some learning while bass fishing.
What I am posting about is this. I am interested in getting a fishing boat for the Caney Fork (closest, best water to Nashville that I know of) and I am looking for advice on the pro and cons of various boats. I currently have a sit-on-top kayak for the Harpeth and other smaller rivers like the Buffalo, but I use it in the Spring and Summer, and it isn't the style of kayak that I can stand up on (unless I want to go swimming when it flips over).
I have looked at the alumacraft style jon boats and v-hull boats, and have also looked at drift boats (used) as well. I have thought that if I go with a aluminum style boat that I would invest in an outboard jet motor since I have read on this and other forums that they can run in very shallow water with little issues.
I would primarily be fishing the Caney Fork with this boat, but wouldn't hesitate to take it to other rivers in the area as well.
Also, I am in no rush to buy a boat as I have a decent bit of money to save before I can get one so this is likely going to be a purchase for next Summer or Fall. Right now I am trying to get an idea of what to look for and how much money I would be looking at spending.
Any advice that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
This guy (LeeRoy) has some great articles on various boat/fishing aspects. His motor repair section is very good with plenty of pictures.

Thanks for the head's up about Leeroy's website. It looks like I will learn a lot from reading it.
As for Troutman's project, I've actually been catching up on it over the Thanksgiving holiday, and am blown away by how great it looks.
While I am actually really interested in doing something like that at some point, I have never owned a boat other than my kayak, and am not sure trying a restoration project for my first boat is a good idea (although I will take that project on in the next 5 years).
If I were to take a project like that on, what would be some good websites to help me get a plan of action together?
Thanks for your reply.
Don't own a boat but alot of guys go to this forum for restoration advice.
The guys over on Mike Anderson's forum http://www.trophyfishingtn.com/smf/index.php like to use the Arkansas style fiberglass jons and Gheenoe style boats on the caney. I've never fished the caney but I'm assuming that it is a slow meandering type of river since these boats are popular. They would not be very good for rivers like the Hiwassee or Pigeon river coming out of the mtns. You would want something like a drifter or raft for those. I would think a flat bottom Jon would be good also. Make sure you get at least a 42 or 48" or wider bottom width jon, the 36" boats are tippy. You'll see a lot of 1436 jons for sale, they are too narrower to stand up and cast without feeling like your going to fall out. Keep an eye on craigslist, there a lot boats for sale right now. Many people out of work and selling or they are upgrading to something bigger or newer. I personally like the v-hulls over the low sided jons. I feel safer in them out on the lakes and rivers.
Talk with Grumpy and David Perry as they spend a lot of time on the middle tn rivers and can give you more insight to those rivers and the type of boat needed.
Joel is right, check out Tinboats for mod and restoration advice.
Caney is deceptively swift, just not a lot of rocks to create riffle areas. You're right on the meanders though.
I need to downsize my boat collection. I currently have a 13' Riverhawk (like a Gheenoe), and 14' raft w/ fly frame, and 2 person inflatable pontoon. I need to sale 2 of the 3. For the Caney, the jet jon would be the fastest but too me it is the least fisherman friendly. The Arkansas style jons add lots of space, but storing them is a problem (20' long boat plus trailer tongue equals very deep garage needed). The Gheenoe is a good comprise but you suffer on the draft slightly.
My inflatable pontoon is to be set up for a motor, however it would be slow compared to the above boats, but would give you the most flexible boat, if you plan to hit other rivers.
Rafts and drift boats are pretty much downstream only boats.
Since you already have a kayak, might want to check out the Jackson Coosa, which would give you the ability to stand-up and it is made here in TN too.
No such thing as a perfect river boat, just perfect boats for certain sections of certain rivers.

Thanks to all for the great replies. I am starting to realize that I am going to be one of those guys that has a couple boats (if I can bribe my wife enough) for different fishing situations.
I am already doing that somewhat as I have a kayak for smaller rivers like the buffalo and Harpeth, and am looking for something with more power (preferably not man powered) for larger rivers like the Caney Fork.
I also understand that there is no best boat for every situation (or every river even). Same goes for fishing rods (that's why I have 3 fly rods).
Ideally what I am looking for, (I think) is something that I, and a friend (or two at most), can take to the Caney, drop in, float down, and then ride back up river to the trailer when done.
I am taking this season to get acquainted with the Caney and figure out what I need as far as power in a motor and such, and plan on buying a boat to restore in the coming months.
I have talked with a few guys around Nashville about what boat they use in the Caney and I hear a lot of jon boats or the Gheenoe style boats over drift boats because of the possibility that the Caney can get shallow at some spots and if you took a drift boat you would be gel coating it every trip almost.
As far as an outboard jet motor, does that make sense? A lot of what I am going off of what I have researched, and might not be accurate. That's why I have been reading this forum for the past few months, and am now starting to ask questions.
What kind of HP would a jet outboard need to power up river, and is there a website that can give me an idea of cost? I have done some research on cost, but I would love to find a used one if possible.
Thanks again for the great responses. This forum has been very educational to me, and I greatly appreciate it.
Alum. Boat + 9.0HP Johnson = you are good for river!

A jet outboard looses about 30% of the hp (at the head). So a 30 hp outboard when converted to jet, will put out about 20 hp at the foot (ie where the prop used to be). Almost all jets are built on standard shaft motors (ie 20") and even then may require a jackplate or transom work to get them elevated to the right height. Heavier than a prop (for similar output hp) and higher, usually means more stress on the transom. Stronger transom is usually in a heavier thickness of aluminum boat.
A prop (especially an older 2-stroke on a 15" shaft) outboard is a good option if speed is not too critical, especially as your learning the river.
With either power choice, I suggest you motor upstream and then drift back to the ramp. Things happen, water levels could change, motors could break etc, heading back upstream is never a sure thing.
For me, the smallest aluminum jon I would go with is a 16' with 48 wide. Any more narrow or smaller is just too tippy (14' would be okay if you go with only 2 light people). The 10' and 12' jons just don't cut it for me. If you want something that size go with the gheenoe, much more floatation. Although glasswork is messy, it is much easier to repair than welding aluminum IMO. Easy to operate a gheenoe and fish while solo too.
With both boats anything over 5 hp should push you upstream at most flow levels. Larger planning area equal shallower draft and less hp needed. Increase in hp will just get you upstream faster.
I don't have enough experience with Arkansas/Supreme style jons, but understand that the long boats draft shallow and require very little hp.
Golsn.com has lots of "caney" boats. ps my riverhawk/gheenoe is listed on there too

Aussie hyperbowl level which is associated with NRL and State of Origin?
My proposal is based on two premises:
1. Having a marquee event/competition at the forefront of the sport.
To expand further every major sport has a marquee competition which enables the mainstream viewer to get interested in the sport when they normally would not have a single interest, an example is the Heineken Cup, prior to the competition taking off Union club rugby had just turned pro and the crowds didn't spike as much as the sport had anticipated, now compare union club rugby crowds to just after turning pro to when the Heineken Cup was hitting its peak and you'll note that this competition has contributed in the upsurge of club union in Europe. Fans and locals have the opportunity to see their club play at the highest level and on the biggest stage.
Another example.....when London Broncos were in the World Club Championship, they played Canberra, Brisbane etc at the stoop and for those few weeks the sport was buzzing down south, crowds and press attention was at its highest point than I can remember for the sport in London. That told me that to break into a competitive London entertainment and sports market you have to deliver your best high end product, I firmly believe that this kind of product would assist the sport taking off down south and other emerging areas aswell as consolidating the sport in the heartlands.
2. My other standpoint for the way forward is as David Waite said, the best against the best as much as possible, that's what people want it would expose players over here to a tough standard of league and be the bridge to international comps. As part of this I'd bring super league down to 10 teams but compensate with the extra World League (and European Cup) games.
The concept initially involves NRL, SL and French Super 13 teams, the flaw and short term obstacle would be the gap in talent between the NRL to SL teams and then another large gap in intensity to the French teams, there will be some blowout scorelines in the first few years but what is more important than that is the long term objective of the sport and competition, it takes time to create balance when the Heineken Cup started it had all sorts of issues, the Celtic teams couldn't compete, but over time parity was restored.
Now for this to work the league would be reduced to 10 teams, World League would initially consist of 12 teams, 4 NRL, 4 SL, 4 French, there would be 4 groups of 3 playing each other home and away with the best qualifiers going into the knockout rounds and then the final.
So for example....
Group A
Brisbane Broncos
Wigan Warriors
Group B
Melbourne Storm
Leeds Rhinos
Catalan Dragons
Group C
South Sydney Rabbitohs
St Helens
Group D
Manly Sea Eagles
Warrington Wolves
Aude Cathars (hypothetical)
Over time, games could be taken to big stadiums like Elland Rd, Old Trafford etc.
Also worth noting that the next 4-6 teams who don't qualify for World League would be competing in some form of European Cup.
Just thinking out loud...

By William P. Thompson: Freedom Newspapers
Had a good prank played on you lately? Today being April Fools' Day, one might want to stay on guard. Some area residents recently recalled April Fools' pranks played on them in the past. Some pranks were minor, and some were doozies.
Portales city employee Cathy Kennedy said her husband looks forward to April Fools' Day.
"My husband always gets the drop on me," Kennedy said. "He called me once (on April Fools' Day) and said 'Well, I just quit my job.' I was worried. I said, 'Oh Lord, it's up to you.'"
Fortunately for Kennedy her husband was just pulling her leg.
Eleven-year-old Jesse Hooper said he pulled a classic on his cousins one April Fools' Day. It was a variation on the whoopee cushion gag
"I had a fart machine. I placed the button under a seat cushion and my cousins sat down on it," Hooper said. "It made a fart sound."
Roosevelt County Deputy Clerk Donna Carpenter said she helped her daughter pull a stunt on her fifth-grade classmates one year.
"I made chocolate-covered cotton balls and my daughter gave them to her classmates," Carpenter said. "Most of the kids tasted them and spit them out, but one or two actually ate them."
Rick Ashcraft remembers playing dastardly April Fools' jokes on his daughter Trisha when she was little.
"I'd tell her that we were going on a trip to Florida, when we really weren't," Ashcraft said. "I made it up to her by taking her to museums at White Sands."
Trisha Ashcraft, now a Portales High School student, said she remembers a prank her seventh grade classmates pulled on their teachers.
"Two classrooms switched classes, while the teachers were out," Ashcraft said. "The teachers were shocked."
Roosevelt County maintenance worker Joe Batista said one time a fellow landscaping employee caught him off guard.
"He had placed what looked like a large heavy rock in the wrong place, and I saw that it was in the wrong place," Batista said. "I was kind of mad because I knew I had to go remove it and place it in the right spot. When I went to lift it, it was just light Styrofoam."
Retired Portales resident Wanda Pettus said she has never been a big fan of April Fools' Day.
"I never like April Fools' day because I guess it makes me look foolish," Pettus said. "One time a fellow employee came into work on crutches. I was so sympathetic to her. It took me a half hour to figure out she was just fooling."
Justin Johnson, an employee of Fitness 'n More in Portales, said his grandmother got him good one year.
"She called me early in the morning and told me her tires were flat and she needed a ride," Johnson said. "By the time I had gotten out of bed and got dressed she called back to say it was an April Fools' joke. I just laughed."

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — As unseasonably warm early spring weather gives way to a cold spell this week, spring sports teams are anticipating next week's inauguration of regular season action. Weather uncertainties aside, baseball, softball, boys and girls golf, track and field and boys tennis will get underway. While spring lacks the duration evinced by the lengthier winter sports season, it serves as the crown jewel of the athletic year, rife with riveting action. Teams, as well as individual athletes in golf and track, will look to get off to a fast start with the hope of making sectionals as an overture to even greater glory. Defending champions will look to retain their titles while others will look to dethrone them.
In girls track, Tri-Valley seeks its third consecutive Division IV title and sixth straight Section 9 Class C crown as the Lady Bears look to complete the 2011-12 trifecta, having won Section 9 titles in cross-country and indoor track. Eldred's girls vie for their fifth straight Division V title and fourth consecutive Section 9 Class D crown. In boys track, Eldred goes in search of its fourth straight Division V title and its fourth consecutive Section 9 Class D crown. Monticello vies for its third consecutive Division III title, while the Tri-Valley boys look to defend their Division IV title and improve on their runner-up status in Section 9. In boys golf, Sullivan West seeks to extend its eight-year supremacy in Division IV. Last year they shared the title with Tri-Valley and Eldred. Fallsburg's Richie Elliott will try for his third straight trip to states. He was last year's OCIAA champ and finished seventh in Section 9. In girls golf, defending Division III champion Fallsburg sent two girls to states last year. Cassie Orlan graduated in June but Danielle Stratton returns for another run. In baseball, Livingston Manor will look to defend its Section 9 and state Class D titles while Tri-Valley looks to avenge its 8-7 loss to S.S. Seward in last year's Section 9 Class C title game as they go in quest of the sectional plaque. The Bears are loaded with seniors. Sullivan West made sectionals last year before losing to Rhinebeck. The Bulldogs look to make it back to the postseason this spring. Monticello successfully defended its John Spear tournament title last spring with wins over Ellenville and Rondout Valley. The Panthers have a strong returning nucleus and hope to make some noise in Division III and in sectionals. In softball, Sullivan West will look to make sectionals for the 27th time in 30 years under the watch of coach Mike Ellmauer, while the Livingston Manor girls begin their quest for a third consecutive state title. Monticello, Fallsburg, Liberty and Eldred look to improve on last year's performance.
A number of area teams will look to hone their edges in scrimmages this week. Here is a brief slate of opening week action. League games are denoted with an (L), non league games are noted as (NL). Baseball: April 2, Fallsburg @ Eldred (L), Tuxedo @ T-V (L), MHS @ Pine Bush (NL); April 3, Ellenville @ Liberty (NL), Eldred @ Fallsburg (L), Burke @ Monticello (NL); April 4, Eldred @Fallsburg (L). Softball: April 2, Port Jervis @ Sullivan West (NL), Seward @ Tri-Valley (L), Monticello @ O'Neill (NL), Tuxedo @ Fallsburg (L); April 5, Tri-Valley @ Family (NL), Monticello @ Cornwall (L). Boys and girls golf: April 2, Warwick @ Sullivan West. Track and field: March 31, Tri-Valley at Hendrick Hudson (NL); April 4, O'Neill at Liberty (L). Boys tennis: April 2, Monticello @ Liberty (NL).

A Brief History of Bear Management in Yellowstone
Early visitors to Yellowstone National Park developed an interest in the area's wildlife—especially the bears. Garbage dumps that attracted bears quickly became a primary tourist attraction. At the height of the bear-feeding era, hundreds of people watched nightly as bears fed on garbage. By 1900, Yellowstone National Park became well known as the place to see and interact with bears.
Over the following decades, the number of bear-human conflicts increased, along with subsequent nuisance bear-control actions. It became apparent that the Park's bear management policies were not conducive to conservation or safety, but they didn't change significantly until 1970.
The following is a brief timeline of bear management in Yellowstone National Park:
Feeding Bears
1889: Bears gathered at night to feed on garbage behind Park hotels.
1902: Official prohibition against hand-feeding bears.
1910: First incidents of bears seeking human food along Park roads.
1916: First confirmed bear-caused human fatality.
Early Management
1931: Park began keeping detailed records of bear-inflicted human injuries, property damage, and bear control actions.
1931-1969: average of 48 bear-inflicted human injuries and more than 100 incidents of property damage occurred annually in Yellowstone.
Changes in Management
1970: Yellowstone implemented a new bear management program to restore bears to subsistence on natural foods and to reduce property damage and human injuries. The new program involved strictly enforced regulations prohibiting the feeding of bears and requiring proper storage of human food and garbage. In addition, all garbage cans in the Park were converted to a bear-proof design, and garbage dumps were closed within and adjacent to the Park.
Since these changes were implemented, there has been a significant reduction in bear-human conflicts:
Current Status
2007: The Greater Yellowstone Area's grizzly bear population was removed from the threatened list under the Endangered Species Act; it was listed in 1975.

text: My 7.5 month old had a SERIOUS case of constipation today. Poor thing has been straining for a couple of days now to have a bm. Today, he cried and screamed until his face turned red. I even called the pharmacy to deliver suppositories at one point. (Our pharmacy delivers) Well, this just makes me question even more about starting solids. I kind of go back and forth on it. It seems every time I get serious about giving them to him on a 3X per day schedule he has some kind of reaction to make me quit. He's a big baby, almost 20 lbs and 28 inches. And if he wasn't so interested in eating I wouldn't have him on them in the first place. That and I've been told that by 7 months old they need to be on solid food 3 X a day. I just have this sense of urgency about it, like I'm a lazy mom and depriving my baby if I don't feed him breakfast, lunch and dinner. I know that's silly and untrue so I guess I'm really looking for justification to take him off of the solids for a little while. I also was sick recently and lost all but a little bit of my milk. That was horrible and ds HATES formula. So I'm on Reglan now to up it back up. And one more thing, he doesn't like cereal so we have chosen not to go that route. Well, now I am worried about giving him enough iron. I've never posted here, new here, and I figured this is the place to go for breastfeeding and delayed solids support. So I'd like to get some advice and maybe find out what other moms on here would do in my case? Thanks so much! Oh and one more thing to top it off, he almost choked on a biter biscuit the other day. I gave him one at a restaraunt and somehow bit off part of it and was gagging on it. He practically salivates at the rest of us eating though! Are they ready for Cheerios at this point? I thought this might give him something to do with his hands and practice eating like the rest of us. Sorry about the book, on my first post, no less!

David Axelrod Endorses Mitt Romney
Mitt already has the endorsements of people like George H.W. Bush, Marco Rubio, Jan Brewer, Darrel Issa, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, Jeb Bush, Jeff Foxworthy, and Cindy Crawford, among many, many others. And now he has the all important Obama adviser endorsement (via Twitchy)
"The choice in this election is between an economy that produces a growing middle-class and that gives people a chance to get ahead and their kids a chance to get ahead and an economy that continues down the road we're on."
The road we're on is one of stagnation, high unemployment, the inability to get summer jobs, poor consumer confidence, low real wages, low disposable income, massive deficits, massive debt, and rising energy and consumer prices that outstrip individual earnings. Guess who's president now, and been in office since January 20, 2009? Which Party has held the Senate since 2007? Which Party held the House from 2007 till 2010, and, along with the Senate and Obama, enacted the failed economic policies? Which Party spent $800 billion dollars on a Stimulus in which the jobs weren't so *ha ha ha* shovel ready? Which party has wasted billions and billions of dollars on "green" energy projects which have so far failed?
The obvious choice is clear to Axelrod: vote Mitt Romeny 2012!

Mona Yvette Nelson's lawyer is stating that the killed boy's mother's estranged husband had a motive to kill the child. "He wanted to get her back and he told people at work that Jonathon is the root of all his problems," Nelson's lawyer said.
Leave it to a defense attorney to try to pin the murder on anyone but his client. I guess that's their job. Still, the woman needs some serious jail time simply for dumping the body. Who does that? Who would do that? Wtf?
"Oh, it's a burned up little boy... where's the nearest ditch?"
Gtfo. Throw the book at her.
Houston Crime
Opening arguments begin in trial of woman accused of killing 12-year-old boy
By KHOU.com staff
August 14, 2013
HOUSTON -- Opening arguments were underway Wednesday in the trial of a woman accused of kidnapping and killing a 12-year-old Houston boy on Christmas Eve in 2010.
Mona Yvette Nelson was charged with capital murder in the death of Jonathan Foster. Nelson has chosen to be tried by a judge, not a jury. Her attorney said he advised her against it.
Police said the 44-year-old maintenance worker kidnapped and killed Jonathan, then burned his body. Nelson admitted to discarding the boy's body, but said she did not kill him.
Wednesday was an emotional day in court as Jonathan's mother took the stand.
Angela Davis fought back tears as she talked about the last time she heard her son?s voice, on Christmas Eve 2010.
Davis was on the stand for nearly two hours.
But the one main question that everyone has been asking was not answered: Why did this happen?
Nearly three years later, in the trial?s opening statements attorneys said there is still no motive for the killing.
"The big question that everybody has in this case is the 'Why' -- The motive behind this case and there's not going to be a motive. You're not going to hear any evidence of that. I'm going to tell you the 'what? that evidence will prove," said Assistant District Attorney Connie Spence.
Nelson, a 44-year-old grandmother, was a friend of the woman who leased the apartment where Jonathon and his mother were staying.
"Mona Nelson had absolutely zero motive to kill Jonathan Foster. They searched and searched and searched for a motive and there's no reason why she would have killed that boy," said Nelson's Attorney Allen Tanner.
Nelson's attorney asked several questions about the mother's estranged husband and their rocky relationship, suggesting he would have had a motive.
"He wanted to get her back and he told people at work that Jonathon is the root of all his problems," he said.
It is not clear who all will be testifying in the trial, or if Nelson will take the stand.
While this is a capital murder case the death penalty is not being considered. The trial is expected to last a couple of weeks.
