In the jewellery world, charm bracelets are the in thing right now with Pandora leading the way in the "must have name brand" stakes. Thing is for many of us geekier ladies that Pandora's range of traditional charms just don't quite speak to us. Sure, waving kittens, sparkly crowns, and hearts are all very lovely, but some of us would prefer a Triforce, Companion Cube, or TARDIS. There are companies out there making geeky charms that fit these bracelets (ThinkGeek have launched their own range which includes an official Companion Cube charm) but if you want to keep your Pandora bracelet limited to only official charms, or like me have severe metal allergies and are wary of other brands which could trigger a reaction, then here are some ideas to geek up your Pandora bracelet.
What we'd love to see: Serenity herself would make for an awesome charm if the currently available airplane is anything to go by. Otherwise a dangling replica of Mal's pistol, a brightly painted parasol or a little Jayne hat could all be fun.
What you could choose now: There's not much out there that could work for Firefly so options are limited. My choice would be the strawberry, however if you could lay your hands on one then the discontinued 14ct gold and wood charm bears a passing resemblance to Serenity's logo.

LAS VEGAS - February 16, 2006 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today showcased Monster Hunter Freedom for the PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system. Building upon Monster Hunter and Monster Hunter G (Japanese release only), which were originally released on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Monster Hunter Freedom is the ultimate package, including new missions, additional features and content adapted for the PSP system. Adventurers are now free to take their epic battles with them wherever they go, as they explore a unique world inhabited by ferocious monsters and become mighty hunters in this exciting action game. With a multitude of missions, quests, characters, weapons and more, the variety is virtually limitless. The game features both enhanced single player campaigns as well as multiplayer missions via the PSP system's ad hoc mode which allows up to four friends to band together for intense battles. Monster Hunter Freedom is rated "T" for teen audiences by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) and is planned for release across North America in Q2 2006.
In Monster Hunter Freedom, challengers take on a variety of quests and conquer larger than life beasts either alone or with the aid of others. Players start by customizing their own character, choosing the type of hair, face, voice and other various attributes their personalized monster hunter will possess. They can explore a hub village where they can sign up for various challenges ranging from retrieving a valuable egg from the nest of a menacing dragon to hunting down powerful creatures and much more. Hunters can scavenge defeated monsters for food, collect bones for weapons and armor, and even use pieces for decorative accessories. In addition, by completing objectives, players receive an array of rewards that allows them to upgrade their arsenal and equipment, readying them for even tougher battles.
Monster Hunter Freedom boasts an array of exciting new features for the PSP system:

As they assessed the wreckage of New Zealand's two tests against South Africa last month both captain and coach made a similar observation.
Brendon McCullum and Mike Hesson hoped lessons would be absorbed by their players, and both offered the thought that it would be silly to chuck the underperforming players on the scrapheap in the search for a competitive outfit to face England.
To do that would to a degree have wasted the trip, and the experience, they said.
"If people are applying themselves and showing character, then we'll show faith in them. If you keep chopping and changing, we'll go around in circles," Hesson said after the innings and plenty of doffing of caps in the Port Elizabeth duffing.
Before the tests, New Zealand had lost the T20 series 2-1; after it they won the ODI rubber by the same margin. Thus they returned home feeling rather better about themselves than they did around lunchtime on January 14, the fourth day of the second test and by which time the match was finished.
There's a frying pan and fire thought about the England tour which starts in Whangarei on Monday with the first of two T20 warmups ahead of the ANZ international series.
South Africa are top of the test tree, experienced, resilient, tough-minded cricketers at the peak of their powers, yet they were caught short in the 50-over series. England sit second, in the test and ODI versions, and fourth in T20. New Zealand are a uniform eighth across the board.
No contest? Not quite so fast.
Granted New Zealand have a mountain of toil to do in the test game.
"We're a long way off the pace in test cricket, we have to acknowledge that, and we know we have a lot of work to do," Hesson said.
South Africa showed up the batting to be technically deficient. Ross Taylor would have improved things, but not to a result-changing degree.
The bowling lacked enough penetration. The absences of Tim Southee and Dan Vettori, for different reasons, was keenly felt.
England have considerable batting depth. Captain Alastair Cook (world ranking 5), Kevin Pietersen (10), Jonathan Trott (14), Matt Prior (15) and Ian Bell (16) far outshine all New Zealand batsmen with the exception of the returning Taylor (8).
James Anderson (6), Graeme Swann (7), Stuart Broad (13) and Steven Finn (16) stand clear of New Zealand's best, Chris Martin (17), Southee (21) and Vettori (22).
So in terms of achievement and form, there's a gulf. Of the test venues, Dunedin's University Oval should help the seamers; the Basin Reserve is usually a top class cricket strip, with something for industrious seamers and batsmen; while Eden Park, on its return to the test card after a seven-year absence, will on this season's evidence provide plenty of fat-edged sixes, courtesy of good bounce and ludicrously short straight boundaries.
Take no notice of the statistics on the T20 clashes between the two. These are games which can be won by a couple of decent performances.
England have a host of relatively new names but in Michael Lumb and Alex Hales they have a couple of top order fliers, Luke Wright is an accomplished short-form player while Eion Morgan is among the best finishers in the business.
New Zealand have, in Martin Guptill, captain McCullum, his brother Nathan, Taylor, James Franklin and lively new seamer Mitchell McClenaghan, a group of their own with match-winning capabilities.
While England are looking at developing newer players in the T20, the ODI leg brings the heavy mob back, with Cook in charge - Stuart Broad has the shortest-form reins - and Anderson, Trott, Bell, Swann and Trott shipping in.
Even so, tipping over South Africa - even a flaky, transitional 50-over South Africa in back-to-back matches, and coming within one ball of a clean sweep - must give New Zealand heart that they can match up.
Most attention on the home side will focus, inevitably, on Taylor.
He has decisively won the public relations battle over his dumping as skipper, although that wouldn't have been hard after New Zealand Cricket's ineptitude over the captaincy saga before Christmas. Theirs was a case study in how not to handle delicate matters of man management.
It may be there will be several in the dressing room who'll struggle to look him in the eye, too, for all the denials players had anything to do with his treatment.
How he meshes back in will be an important ingredient in whether New Zealand can present a united front.
Taylor also needs to score runs, and having absented himself from the South African tour - whatever the justification, and the rights and wrongs of that decision - has some catching up to do.
So call the T20 and ODI series close, perhaps one rubber apiece.
Which leaves the tests. And it is there we'll discover how well those lessons from Cape Town and Port Elizabeth have been absorbed.
South Africa was a furnace. At least now New Zealand are in their own conditions.
They'll start second favourites, but if they can arrive in Dunedin next month having had some success to bolster self esteem, they should be up for the contest.
And that in turn would suggest McCullum and Hesson's words may have struck a chord.
England: The big 5
Alastair Cook
Age: 28
Test record: 87 tests, 7117 runs at 49.42, 23 100s
From the time he hit an unbeaten century on his test debut against India at Nagpur seven years ago, the lefthand opener hasn't looked back.
Even before that, actually. He seemed destined for the top from the time he left high school. The England under-19 World Cup skipper, Cook took over the national captaincy from Andrew Strauss permanently last year and he's presided over four test wins and just one loss.
His three centuries against India shortly before Christmas both reinforced his standing as the country's leader, and also made him England's alltime highest test centurymaker.
Throw in 2328 ODI runs at 40.13 for good measure. New Zealand have done well against him - he's only passed 50 twice in 10 test innings - but the world's No 5-ranked batsman looms as the key wicket in a classy batting lineup.
Jimmy Anderson
Age: 30
Test record: 77 tests, 288 wickets at 30.39
When he's on song, Anderson is the best swingman in the business. Anderson, who did a brief stint with Auckland before the last English visit in 2007-08, should present a different but no less demanding examination of New Zealand's batsmen than Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander a few weeks ago.
Anderson took 11 wickets in his first two tests 10 years ago, but he went through a hot and cold period for a time.
The Burnley-born fast-medium bowler shot out New Zealand's top five batsmen to help set up victory in Wellington five years ago and has taken 27 in five tests against New Zealand. His 24 wickets in the Ashes series of 2010-11 were instrumental in that retaining of the urn and Anderson is now, ranked world No 6, the undisputed leader of the attack.
His early up and down years have been replaced by a steadiness and demanding line. He's nabbed 222 ODI wickets in 164 games too, and is a top class fielder.
Graeme Swann
Age: 33
Test record: 50 tests, 212 wickets at 29.13
The seasoned offspinner spent 10 years trudging about the county circuit before getting his test opening - then took two wickets in his opening over at Chennai in December 2008.
He's come on apace since. His 59 wickets in the last calendar year were second by one wicket behind tubby Sri Lankan spinner Rangana Herath and his 54 in 2009 was the first time an English spinner had taken 50 in a year.
Swann had a reputation for a certain swagger in his earlier years and he remains one of the livelier tourists. Nicknamed 'Chin', he's taken 98 ODI wickets in 73 matches; 51 in 39 T20s, demonstrating his adaptability. Only the outstanding left armer Derek Underwood, with 297, has more test wickets by a spinner for England.
Kevin Pietersen
Age: 32
Test record: 92 tests, 7414 runs at 49.42, 22 100s
Where to start. One of England's cast of South African imports, Pietersen is among the game's most brilliant batsmen but a polarising figure among even the England faithful.
The Pietermaritzburg-born Pietersen hit three centuries in one ODI series against South Africa to kickstart his career, before making a match-saving - and Ashes-sealing - 158 at The Oval in 2005.
His batting is full of dash and verve, although his troubles against left arm spinners might not be put under severe scrutiny should Dan Vettori not be fit in time for the three tests.
Pietersen had a brief spell as England captain in 2008 but that ended after he tried to engineer the dumping of coach Peter Moores and found himself red-carded along with the coach.
He was dropped against South Africa last year after the unseemly texting episode, in which he sent uncomplimentary messages about his then-captain Andrew Strauss to his former countrymen.
However, Strauss has retired, Pietersen has been rehabilitated, pragmatism won out, but you'd wonder how many of his teammates really feel the love for the tall righthander.
Matt Prior
Age: 31 on February 26
Test record: 62 tests, 3326 runs at 43.19, 6 100s
Does Johannesburg-born Prior or India's captain MS Dhoni deserve the gong of best wicketkeeper-batsman in the game? Their numbers are fairly similar: Dhoni's batting average is 38.06 with five hundreds from 73 tests.
Prior hit a century against the West Indies on debut at Lord's six years ago, the first English gloveman to achieve that feat, but dodgy glovework effectively cost him a year of test cricket, including the last tour of New Zealand.
He smashed a window in the Lord's dressing room two years ago after being run out against Sri Lanka, showering spectators with broken glass, for which he was forced to apologise.
He had batted at No 6 in the England order in 12 tests, averaging 45.6 and to all intents England will field seven quality batsmen in their lineup.
Had a lippy reputation early on but while his limited-overs place has gone to others, with his handling more assured he's undisputed No 1 in the premier version.

We're pretty sure this is the only form of drinking and driving not frowned upon.

A term first coined by the gay Afro-American community to describe the most desired point of entry for the gay black male, the anus, unlike the straights who first seek out the vagina. Boogina is a marrying of the two words "booty" and "vagina" just like the Mangina to describe the aforementioned. However, today the term Boogina is not limited in use by 42nd st. Queens and the like. A recent upswing in ass play among those outside of the gay enclaves, perhaps influenced by various rap songs like E40's "You and Dat Booty," has brought Boogina out from exclusivity and into America's mainsream lexicon.
"If I'm giving up the boogina to Jorge then he's gonna have to tell his parents about me and him. N'uff said."

Glad I got a couple hundred mags for each type rifle and pistol. Now I just watch all the silliness with much amusement. A nice take is to paraphrase the old Dr. Pepper jingle:
"I'm a Prepper, he's a Prepper, She's a Prepper, we're a Prepper, Wouldn't you like to be a Prepper, too?"
Those who procrastinate usually get caught unawares. Those who prep are just amused. Those who don't even care or rely on others are just evolutionary dead ends.
If I needed the money I guess I could sell some mags. But I am pretty well set.

Don't get me wrong...I like Tom Coughlin, but he lost this team so long ago that we are barely competitive anymore going into the second half of the season.
How aggravating is it, that it's PREDICTABLE to know EXACTLY what our team is going to do after week 8?!?! It's like CLOCKWORK!!!

[/quote]i hold the player just as accountable as the coaches. especially after last night. no heart whatsoever. have some ****ing pride.
well right there, that leads to the head coach. At the end of the day its the HC's responsibility to make sure they are ready to play. They weren't. Welcome to the reality of the fact that TC has to go

Bangkok Thailand:
Bourbon Street Restaurant & Oyster Bar.
I am friends with Doug who is the owner. When I am there I either stay at his place as there are apartments over the restaurant (My second home). I can watch it on his cable or on my computer and Slingbox. I bring it everywhere.
I checked out Bourbon Street on my last trip to BKK. Doug Harrison is not from Louisiana as evidenced by the fact that he can't pronounce New Orleans properly and calls pecan pie "PEE CAN pie". He is a nice guy (I'm guessing from Georgia) but the game is never on his cable as you say unless by some fluke chance ESPN Asia is carrying it which is very rare. Just admit that you stream the game over the internet and prefer his rooms because of proximity the red light district.
Your best bet for watching Saints or LSU games is finding a reputable hotel with good broadband(preferably LAN connection).

Discussion in 'BIKE TALK' started by American Vintage Bicycle Supply, Mar 4, 2012.
As long as I beat Youthgeye and Schwinnray69....I'm good!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
As long as I finish mine by the deadline I'm good. Lots of plans and only a short time to do it.
Occupation :wink:
Sounds like a challange... :idea:
I wasn't condoning what the blue bottle tank bike did. When that one showed up at the last minute in the finished bike section, I was ticked me off as well. It was a great looking bike, but it could have been one that was built 5 years ago or just bought from someone.
I know that there is no way that Chips plans for his son to do that. Just look at the cool build that his son is already doing.
We can take him.
I'll hard boil and dye the eggs tonight and hold onto them till the end of the build-off. Maybe I'll keep them in the attic till I put them in a box to ship to the winner.
Ok, that wasn't the one I was thinking of. Plus Chips has gone out of his way to do this right. Also KF I understand you don't condon this kind of behavior.
The guy I'm refering to's very first post was in the finished bike section, a clear violation of the rules. And most of us old timers would like to see an intro post as a first post, so it should have been at least #2! :roll:
To me the build report is the most important part of the whole thing. There's a gallery section for showing off cool bikes. I really wish I could remember what bike this was, but it was definitely from RRBO5.
(edit) Found it! It was Naked 41, a grand total of 7 posts, musta' scared him off!
We had a build off on a custom drum forum I'm on, this new guy shows up and makes a really cool totally homebuilt drum..
Only problem was it didn;t sound very good...He got real crappy with everyone when he didn't win...
He didn't stick around for long after that,it's definetly not a place for those with thin skin on that forum...
We didn't even have a prize!!!!!
so we should cancel the build off? It's just plain fun. I'm going to be excited to get any votes at all, I have no expectations of winning but the competition is the fun part.
I think the build off is a great way to start the year off in a positive way. Blow off some steam, shake off the winter blues, and get back to building some cool bikes. As long as Rule #10 still aplies I think we are fine.
10. Don't ask a bunch of goofy questions trying to get around the rules...just build a cool bike and have fun.
You can if it is covering a factory frame :idea: Otherwise it would be in violation of rule 3. Cool idea though. Maybe save it for the after build off anything goes build off.
I'm doing my part to have fun......I tore down my starter bike to get to the frame and try to see how bad it is under all the layers of old silver and blue paint.
If the head tube is ANY indication of the condition of the chrome under the aged paint, i need to change the name of my build to..............
Get your Ray-Bans ready!!!!!
Speaking of shiney that gives me an idea. Maybe an Airstream build is in order :idea:
A mini-airstream to pull behind the rest of your build!
Like this
Or like this
Both done by member "thatismytruck" (he's like..nine feet tall)
Thanks KingFish! I appreciate that!
I'm not always the greatest at following the rules in some situations, but I think that's part of my job at times. Things like the build off I follow the rules because it's the right thing to do. I try to instill this into my boys as well. There's no sense in cheating to win. There's no reward of your investment. For this build off, I'm building two bikes. I don't really know which one will be my "official entry" as of right now, but one thing is for sure....I'm going to have fun building them!!!!
Last year I pre-wrote my 1st build thread post and had it waiting, when Steve opened the forum I copied and pasted it in place for maximum exposure thinking that I would just post the idea and the "before" photos and then go to bed, but just seconds later another was posted and another, I was up till almost 4am! haha
I thought I would be too busy to do anything that first night, but I went out to the shop and quickly had a mock up! Man, the build-off just does something to you. It's exciting, and when I vote on a bike I am voting on someone who I see that fire in as well. Some did cool bikes and hard work and followed the rules, but it didn't seem like they were in it for the right reason. I might have talked some junk, but I love the build off and it really set a good tone for me last Summer.
I still remember throwing this together, you can see in the photo that the headlight is held on with bailing wire and the only reason the mock-up bars are flipped is because right before I shot the photo they fell down because the stems weren't tightened. I looked at the date stamp: Date/Time: 2011:05:01 11:42:09 Wow. A lot changed on the bike after that photo, but I knew what I was going for, and until that late night mock-up, I really didn't have a real direction. A lot has changed in the shop too, and this build-off I will introduce you all to the new improved shop since the tree fell through the roof.
Good times.
Just reading my first page brings back so many memories!
Have fun getting a head start on BO7 everyone!!!
I am heading to Southeast Asia to pick up my build bike.

In "The DaVinci Code", One of the main characters, Robert Langdon, says (p. 64) that the ratio of the number of female bees to male bees in any beehive in the world is always 1.618..., or PHI, the golden ratio. Has anyone seen this statistic elsewhere? How does it account for a hive with a laying worker?
This seemed like an interesting topic for discussion on a frigid winter day!

Bolivian Workers Strike in Challenge to Morales
Miners in Bolivia declared a strike to protest the five percent raises offered by the government. The strikers want larger raise and long-delayed labor law revisions.
LA PAZ, May 10 (Reuters) - Bolivian workers began an indefinite strike on Monday to demand higher pay in a challenge to leftist President Evo Morales, who has previously enjoyed strong support from the poor country's unions.
Miners and other workers in the mineral-rich Andean country joined the walkout called by the leading COB umbrella union to protest a 5 percent government pay offer, but the impact of the nationwide strike appeared limited.
"This is a struggle for our basic rights," said Pedro Montes, a COB mining leader, at the head of a 200 km (125 miles) protest march from the highland town of Caracollo to the capital La Paz that began just before midday.
Morales' government played down the effect of the strike. "There's no stoppage in the country. Things are proceeding normally," said Presidency Minister Oscar Coca.
The protest underscores some of the challenges faced by Morales, the country's first Indian head of state, who began his second term in January after a resounding election victory and remains among Latin America's most popular leaders.
"Morales is probably paying the price for generating high expectations of economic improvements among his supporters, for setting an example by using violent protests to advance his own political goals, and for taking a relatively soft stance on previous protests," wrote Eurasia Group analyst Erasto Almeida in an emailed note to clients.
The conflict increased the possibility that the government would target foreign investors in an effort to boost political support, he said.
Morales accused rightist rivals and the U.S. Embassy of fueling the strike and called on other workers to shun it.
Strikers want a bigger raise than the 5 percent decreed by the government, as well as long-delayed changes to labor laws.
Elsewhere, protests by residents demanding the building of a citrus-fruit plant in Caranavi province erupted into violence, adding to the tension between Morales and groups that had, until recently, given him almost unconditional support.
At least two people were killed and 30 were detained during the unrest, local media said. Police denied responsibility for the killings and accused the protesters of using guns. (Writing by Luciana Lopez; editing by Mohammad Zargham)

During Week 3 of the NFL season we start to see more trades in fantasy football as teams give up on players and salivate over others. Already this week our fantasy guru James Morris has been flooded with questions about possible trade scenarios. Before giving you his weekly "start 'em" and "sit 'em" advice, James provides a few rules for trading in fantasy football:
1) Be aware and beware: The other guy/girl is no offering you a deal to be fair. They think they are getting the better of the deal, which is why they offered it. If they say, "This is a really fair deal," you better read it again!
2) This isn't a card collection: Don't try and get all the Miami Dolphins on your fantasy team; that NEVER works out. You're trying to build the best possible team, and I wouldn't want all the same players from any team in the NFL on my fantasy squad.
3) All you have to do is tell the story right: Refer back to rule #1; you better make it look fair, or they will veto it. The key is to throw in a big name that is not worth owning like CJ2K or Randy Moss and make them think they just stole a Leprechaun and his pot of gold for their yarn.
4) Don't be afraid to knock on doors: Send out feelers; see who is interested in trading and who just declines with no explanation. You are looking for the village idiot, or person with one too many in them that night, to trade with. You'll never get told yes if you don't ask!
5) Don't be a sore loser: If you ripped someone off and it gets vetoed, don't go crying on the message board about it. You tried to sneak one past the league and it didn't work… move on!
Start 'em
Michael Vick – QB Eagles: Vick stumbled his way to good stats, and I think the rust is coming off the Eagles offense. Some of the big box sites are worried about Calais Campbell and Patrick Peterson, but I think Vick can overcome that and put up good fantasy stats yet again.
Andrew Luck – QB Colts: The Jaguars defense is about as bad as their offense, and Luck is the second coming of Peyton Manning in Indianapolis. The coaching staff thinks they found a diamond in the rough in Donnie Avery, and it looks like Austin Collie may finally be ready to take the field. I have Luck as a low-end QB1/high end QB2 and think he could wind up with solid QB1 numbers in the end.
C.J. Spiller – RB Bills: Spiller has been nothing short of a fantast beast since taking over for Fred Jackson. This week he gets the Cleveland Browns and it only means one thing… Spiller is a shark and there is blood in the water! I have him in the top 3 for all fantasy RBs this weekend, and wouldn't be at all surprised if he finished with #1 stats.
Ryan Mathews – RB Chargers: Coach Norv Turner is confident that Mathews will take the field this weekend, and the Falcons run defense isn't exactly striking fear in anyone's offense. I fully expect Mathews to hit the ground running (pun intended) and finish with RB1 numbers.
Pierre Garcon – WR Redskins: The Bengals secondary has already been shredded by the liked of Joe Flacco and Brandon Weeden. Robert Griffin III is for real, and Garcon is going to be targeted early and often by the rookie QB. I see WR2 numbers in his future this week.
Jordy Nelson – WR Packers: Nelson isn't someone I usually put on the start list. But, with Greg Jennings looking likely to be out this weekend, Nelson becomes a top 10-12 fantasy WR play. The Cowboys defense may be ranked 3rd in the NFL in passing YPG allowed right now, but the Giants came out flat to open the season, and the Seahawks passing attack is less than average. I foresee 100-plus yards and 5-plus catches from him.
Antonio Gates – TE Chargers: Gates is a go this weekend, so get him back in your line-ups. There is nothing cute or mystical about his pick; Gates is a top 3-5 TE when on the field and he is going to be a target for Philip Rivers this weekend.
Chicago Bears defense: This is one of those weeks where I don't see a sleeper defense; the picks are pretty straight forward. The Bears playing against the Rams offense does make my mouth water though. As much as I like Danny Amendola, I bet the Bears focus on shutting him down just as much as the Jets focus on Brian Hartline this weekend. And Steven Jackson is running on two flat tires these days.
Sit 'em
Peyton Manning – QB Broncos: The Houston Texans currently have the #1 ranked pass defense and are allowing just 124.0 YPG in the air. Not only that, but they are sporting a 3-1 INT-TD ratio and Manning started last week's game by playing pitch-n-catch with the defense three times in the first half of the first quarter!
Carson Palmer – QB Raiders: The Steelers are going to be without Troy Polamalu and James Harrison, but their defense is much deeper than these two studs. Palmer also has a way of imploding as the season wears on, and he isn't as good as he's been playing thus far. I have him firmly in the bottom end of the QB2's and wouldn't even want to play him in 2-QB leagues if I didn't absolutely have to.
Willis McGahee – RB Broncos: As tough as the Texans pass defense is, their run defense is every bit as good. So far they are allowing a stingy 72.0 YPG on the ground, and haven't given up a rushing TD through the first two games. "Whatchu Talk'n Bout" Willis McGahee looked good last week (113 yards and 2 TDs), but that was largely due to Manning's problems throwing the ball. I don't think he has the same success this week and wouldn't count him as anything more than a flex option.
Chris Johnson – RB Titans: The Titans new blocking scheme looks more like a matador playing Olay with the defensive line! CJ2K is averaging 1.1 YPC this season, and now there is talk about Javon Ringer getting a few more touches. The O-Line is atrocious, Johnson is tentative behind the line, and the coaching staff can't seem to fix either. I'd plant him on your bench and pray to little baby Jesus that someone tries to buy low on him.
Jeremy Maclin – WR Eagles: Maclin was "limited" in practice on Thursday, but he only joined in at the very end of the open portion. Word is that he won't play, and I am sure the Eagles will keep us guessing all the way up until right before kick-off. And remember, the Eagles play in the afternoon game, so the options are extremely limited if you hold out hope and he doesn't end up playing.
Brian Hartline – WR Dolphins: Let me first say that I do think Hartline is worth owning, ESPECIALLY in PPR formats. But, after the man racked up 9 catches for 111 yards last week, you can be sure the Jets are going to put Darrelle Revis on him to keep that in check. Sit him down for a week, and then look forward to three juicy matchups before sitting him back down against the Jets in week 8.
Fred Davis – TE Redskins: Despite his 9 targets, which accounts for 16 percent of the teams total thrown passes, Davis has hauled in just 4 passes for 52 yards. I believe Davis has the skills to be a TE1 in fantasy football, but he just isn't producing on the field. I have cut ties with Davis in favor of either Martellus Bennett or Dennis Pitta in various leagues, and I would suggest you do the same until he comes around.
Seattle Seahawks defense: The Seahawks are owned in 43.1 percent of NFL.com leagues, and this week they get a Green Bay Packers team that is none too happy about losing to the 49ers in week 1. As underrated as the Seahawks defense is, I want no part of them this weekend and would bet dollars to doughnuts they don't upset the Packers on Monday Night Football.
Question of the week
Q: I just agreed to two trades. I'm honestly not sure if I just saved or ruined my team, it could go either way I bet, but I wanted to hear your thoughts if you have a second. 12 team, CBS, standard scoring, 2RB, 2WR, flex league.
QBs: Matt Ryan, RGIII, Big Ben
RBs: Bradshaw, Wells, Gerhart
WRs: Calvin J., Andre J. Wallace, Colston, Amendola
TE: Davis
Due to the injury to Bradshaw and Wells stinking it up, I traded Wallace for McGahee and RGII for Chris Johnson.
My thinking: I can only start so many WRs and QBs; McGahee is an upgrade over Wells, going to get all the carries on a team that looks pretty decent; Chris Johson can cover Brandshaw's injury and even replace him if CJ gets going this year, huge risk, huge reward. RGIII like Newton is probably going to come back down to earth. Big Ben is decent enough Matt Ryan insurance, who looks like a top 5 QB. Sure it was nice to have Wallace as my WR3, but Colston and Amendola can fill that role. Absent a Calvin or Andre Johnson injury…. I think I did OK. I would have liked to have done better, but, honestly, there aren't a lot of teams out there with extra RBs or QB or WR issues. (Brian M. Schenker, Philadelphia, PA)
A: I'd lean more towards ruin than save.
McGahee is going to be overshadowed by Manning, and the Broncos won't lean as heavily on the run as they did last year because of it. I don't see him having more than mid-low RB2/Flex value going forward.
RGIII is looking like this year's Cam Newton, whereas CJ2K has some REAL problems with his O-Line. The Titans can't get a block from a lineman to save their lives, and Johnson is currently averaging 1.1 YPC in 2012!!!!

4 Responses to "Fantasy: Trading Advice & Week 3 Preview"
Although trading McGahee for Wallace is a push (give or take)….trading RGIII for CJnoK was your biggest mistake. RGIII is the greatest thing to happen to fantasy football since….well, since fantasy football began. He'll clearly be on next years cover of Madden (eventhough I would much rather see Reggie of course)
Chris Johnson will never be what he used to be…and RGIII is pretty much a guarantee of getting even better than he's already played up to this point because he's a very quick learner and a very hard worker…two things that Cam The Spam Newton is not. Cam has massive athletic ability ONLY…this includes his large frame, quickness and strong arm. That's it. Nobody ever accused Cam for being intelligent or a team leader. He's too busy making the "super man cam" dance during games he loses and throws 3 interceptions. Cam is a bum and he's the next Vince Young. RGIII is the next John Elway.

TC, I think the max is 5 smiles per post. But you get my drift. Seriously, Requiem during this entire Vancouver cycle (going back from 2006-2007) was too excessive! Too bad we're getting that at least 2 more times tomorrow during the Free Dance.
Ryan is next!

Guy from Belarus skated well, he looks happy. RYAN IS NEXT YAY! He landed a nice quad in warmup so hopefully his injury is doing ok? Good luck Ryan! He has nothing to lose, so I hope he skates well.
OMG he looks so skinny!
dammit, i wanna see him so baddddd.....perhaps eurosport?
And he landed the quad. Wonky landing but did it! But then splat.
Way to go Ryan! He fell on the 2nd quad and doubled the axel, but still a quad and a 3-3! So proud of him!
Ryan is a funny man. I enjoy his swan song.
man, only a 123.....how did he only a 58.9 in components?
Too bad during my favorite part (the pointing part), the camera guy focused on this skates! Darn you, Camera Man!
Ryan's in 2nd behind the Chinese guy! Jamal's on.
thanks!!!....unfortunately it came AFTER ryans skate lol, but thanks anyways, ur a godsend!!!!

I am not happy with these at all. I was thinking they would fall evenly on the floor when laying them down. They don't. they crinkle up a little and it is actually easy for someone to step on them and slide because there is not a firm grip on the floor. I would not recommend these at all if you are using them for indoor use on the floor. I feel like I have wasted my money with this purchase.

Looks great and I happen to want a bunch of these!
Perhaps I didn't notice it but it seems the hardest part of dealing with 4x8 sheets is the initial rips to get sized down to something managable and avoid a big scrap factor.
Are they there someplace?
It's scary but photobucket already knew who I was and copied the pics to my folder
After thought - any small cheap hinge to attatch the lid along the side could be handy

Focus and B-Class hot hatches give each other run for their money
You might wonder what a Ford Focus and Mercedes-Benz B-Class are doing together here. It's not so strange, really. Ford's small car has really moved up the scale in terms of sophistication and quality and has the awards cabinet to prove it. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz has moved the latest B-Class away from idiosyncratic engineering/packaging and more into a conventional small-car mould.
More importantly, the Ford and Mercedes here are the most exciting, driver-focused versions of each available. The Ford we know well already: the Focus ST has taken the hot-hatch world by storm, with its rorty 184kW/360Nm EcoBoost engine and brilliant chassis.
The Mercedes? The B250 is interesting because it's a bit of a sleeper. It has a turbocharged 2-litre direct-injection engine just like the Ford, and it might surprise you to learn that it runs the ST pretty close on engine output: 155kW and 360Nm, the latter just 10Nm shy of the feisty Focus. It also has special lowered suspension and 18-inch wheels - just like the Ford.
Hot hatches both, then. Although the execution is different. The Focus ST was delivered in a hue called Tangerine Scream (no explanation necessary), which extends to the trim inserts on the sports seats.
No question about the high quality of the Focus cabin generally, but this particular colour combination combined with a fair bit of cabin bling means the ST is not exactly strong on what you'd call good taste. You can tone it down with a different colour ... but the general effect remains the same.
The Mercedes B250 takes a totally different approach. The new model has all the interior quality Merc and Ford battle it out you'd expect of a Benz and comes with full leather upholstery (all in black, of course), familiar Mercedes switchgear and a prominent information screen atop the dashboard that looks like a mini-iPad. Very cool and classy.
This is reflected in the price, of course. The Focus ST is something of a performance-car bargain at $52,490. The B250 is much further up the price scale, at $64,900. The premium badge and premium feel will partly justify that to some; question is, can it keep pace with the brash Ford on performance, handling and driver appeal?
That's a tall order, because the ST's Ecoboost engine is simply brilliant. There's a surge of torque from the most paltry engine speeds, an exhilarating whoosh of turbo boost and enough power to set the front of the car twitching from side-to-side (torque steer) should you abuse the throttle - which you sometimes can't help doing, just for fun. There is some unique suspension hardware and traction software in the ST, but ultimately that 184kW will still prevail. Hang on, laugh out loud.
The B250 is almost as quick as the Focus ST: 6.8 seconds to 100km/h versus 6.5. The engine is impressively linear too, even if it doesn't quite have the creamy surge of power that the Ford delivers on demand.
The steering isn't as incisive as the Ford's, despite having Benz's Direct Steer variable ratio system. The Mercedes has more grip, but it's at the expense of some chassis fluidity. The ST has a brilliant blend of handling and ride that makes it a car for all occasions. The B250 is noticeably firmer (and noisier on coarse chip), often crashing into mid-corner bumps that the Ford simply soaks up. Fluid versus frantic.
Much of the character of these cars comes from their transmissions. The Focus ST is only available as a conventional six-speed manual and it's a beauty, but also demands full involvement. The B250 boasts a dual-clutch seven-speeder which is capable of lightning-fast shifts in Sport or Manual modes, but can also play cruisy automatic in its Economy setting. It's also about a million times better than the CVT fitted to the previous B200 turbo.
It stands to reason that both cars offer excellent accommodation and luggage capacity relative to their size. After all, that's the beauty of the hot-hatch genre. The B-class reveals its mini-people-mover origins (although Mercedes now likes to call it a "sports tourer") with a long wheelbase, loads of legroom and a much larger boot than the Focus: 488 litres compared with 316 litres.
The ST might not ooze class and space like the Mercedes, but it does have a few tricks up its sleeve. It features Ford's outstanding Sync voice-control system for media/communication functions, which makes the Mercedes look positively archaic. And while sat-nav is standard on the ST (albeit on a minuscule screen), it'll cost you $3190 extra on the Benz as part of the COMAND package.
Verdict? You can't beat the Focus ST for driver appeal. It's a stunning machine that rises to the occasion no matter what you ask of it. It's also $12,410 cheaper than the B250.
The B250 is likeable, though. Classy enough to feel like a proper Benz, but rough enough around the edges to raise the pulse. What it lacks in dynamic sophistication compared with the Focus ST, it makes up for in surprise factor.
Sure, both make cool noises, as you'd expect from hot hatches, but the Ford's happens on the inside thanks to a sound "symposer" that produces a prominent growl in the cabin. The Mercedes doesn't sound anything special inside, but from the outside the exhaust pipes emit a deep and satisfying burble.

We purchased six Maytag products for our new home 3 1/2 years ago, one of which was a Maytag gas range, Model MGR5765QDQ. This range has two large burner grates that cover the entire top of the stove. After the first couple of months of use, the porcelain was chipping off the grates. In addition, the tops of the grates scratched easily when you would move a pot or pan on the grates. It was like they were made of a material that couldn't withstand heat and the finish couldn't have a pot or pan sitting on it without scratching........ kind of strange for grates made to cover burners!!!
During the warranty year, I called Maytag with these problems and the grates were readily replaced. However each time new grates were received and inspected before they were put to use, you could see areas on the top and bottom of each grate where the porcelain finish was not covering the entire surfaces. Therefore, after a couple of months of use the tops were scratched up and the porcelain was chipping off again. We went through three sets of grates during that warranty year.
We've put up with the last set of grates since the warranty ran out. Recently I hit my boiling point with having a fairly new stove with grates that now have large portions of the porcelain missing and with the porcelain bubbling up in many other areas and the tops of the grates full of scratches.
I called Maytag just wanting to talk to someone in charge of quality control and let them know that somewhere, someone isn't doing their job. I explained the situation and asked for the phone number of their corporate office so I could call there. They refused to give it to me. They explained that they were willing to replace the grates one more time at no charge. I told them it wouldn't do any good if they were as inferior as the last three sets. They arrived yesterday with five places on the top and bottom of the two grates where there is no porcelain.
I called Maytag again and was told they could not send me any more grates since the stove was out of warranty. I explained that these were flawed, just like the last four sets and they would do me no good. I was again told they could do no more. I asked why they didn't care that they were putting out a product that was inferior. I was told again that they could do no more.
I asked to talk to a supervisor. I actually got to! He agreed to sending me one more set of grates. I told him that it was no use if they were as poorly made as the previous four sets. Finally he stated that he would request that the next ones to be inspected and specially packaged before they were shipped. I doubt very much that this set will be any better than the last four.
I was told they had not received enough complaints to recall the product. That's very hard to believe..... I can't imagine that out of the thousands of grates they manufacture that we just happen to get four sets that were flawed and all the others they make aren't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The quality that Maytag was known for all those years is gone! Do not purchase any Maytag products..... They aren't what they used to be!
ELY, NEVADA -- My last Maytag products lasted almost 35 years with only 2 repairs during those times. When we moved to a new home, we recently purchased a new range, fridge, washer, dryer, dishwasher, & over the range microwave, all matching, all at the same time. While I have no complaints about the rest of the appliances, I do about the range.
The range worked perfectly fine until around 8 or 9 months after we purchased the appliances, the digital control on the range that controls increasing temperature, increasing the length of time on the timer etc. ceased to function. Since we purchased all the appliances at the same time we got a very nice price for all of them. We paid approximately $400 for the range (sale price).
When I called both the store & Maytag... They told me that the product was past its 90 day parts and labor warranty. The cost to replace the "entire" top panel (not just the digital electronic board) was going to be approximately $200 and that would not include the cost shipping the part or the labor to have it replaced by a certified repairman. We were then told it would take approximately 3 months to get the part to us and that we'd need to wait another 2 weeks to have it installed as the "lonely" repairman was backed up at least that far, year round!
It has been almost 6 months. We're still waiting for the part. We cannot cook anything in the oven over 350 degrees and cannot even use the timer. If the clock goes out from a power outage, we have to back it up to set it as only the "decrease" control still works. We cannot even use the self cleaning feature on the oven!
My outrage is just this...while I don't expect anything to last "forever", I do expect at least 3 to 5 years of use without too many repairs or problems. Is it too much to expect that the products you buy should work and perform long enough to at least make them worth the money you have spent on them? Our throwaway society has made everything disposable including our income. Companies, including Maytag no longer care about customer service, customer loyalty, quality, reputation or dependability.
I will, after all the complaints I've seen on the web about Maytag, think twice about purchasing Maytag or any of its affiliates products. I've been abused and put off as long as I care to be and decided to start sounding off! They want more than half the price of the appliance that I purchased less than a year ago to "repair" what was obviously a manufacturer defect to begin with. And it shouldn't cost more than half the original cost of the appliance to have it repaired or for parts! This is ridiculous! We are sick and tired of being ripped off by these big corporations and distributors.
I think we need to start working on legislation that requires at least a 1 year warranty on parts and labor on all purchases in this country. Or perhaps a year for each $100 spent on major appliances (as an example of a place to start). It may very well influence companies to make products they can stand behind and give the consumer some confidence in what they're purchasing!
I really didn't appreciate the complaint by the Maytag repairman! Yes, it is a commercial, but, there is supposed to be at least a ring of truth in advertising! Consumers have the right, after spending their hard-earned money to complain when they don't get the value from what they've purchased and you shouldn't be complaining when these same faulty products are the reason you have a job!
ALMA CENTER, WISCONSIN -- We purchased a Maytag double oven, ceramic cooktop range in 2008, spending the extra money we really couldn't afford, with the expectation this range, along with a new refrigerator, would last as long as we will need. I wasn't real happy with the way the larger oven baked and I complained to the dealer. The repairman came and checked it out - he said it was working the way it was designed, that it was built with an energy saving feature. So I mainly used my old Whirlpool range that my husband had installed in the basement for those occasions when we had family gatherings and needed an extra oven and cooktop.
The last week of May, 2012, I was preheating the large oven of my Maytag range and suddenly noticed a white ball of fire in the oven. It really frightened me and I immediately turned the oven off. The element had caught fire and was broken in two pieces. I called the 800 number for Maytag and was transferred to a Whirlpool repair #. I talked to a representative at that number who told me they would call the dealer from whom we purchased the range and have their repairman come and check the range. Based on his report, they would either repair or replace the range for us, free of charge.
The final decision was that the element and control board would be replaced at no cost to us, or if we wanted to replace the range they would pro-rate the cost. We decided we could not afford to replace the range, and the element and control board were replaced yesterday, July 3rd, at no cost to us. We are very impressed and happy with Whirlpool for standing behind this 4-year-old range. The warranty expired three years ago.
OCEAN VIEW, DELAWARE -- There are a variety of reports of problems with ceramic glass range tops, and the Schott Ceran range top on my Maytag range is no exception. After just a week, a metal surface (a stove pan) came in contact with a burner that had just been used: a small, half inch shatter point developed and the glass evaporated immediately into microscopic fragments.
The Maytag dealer isn't sure whether Maytag (now owned by Whirlpool) will honor their warranty, and I'm still working on it. But, metal in contact with a ceramic glass tops has to be a common event for cooks who, like me, are careful in the use of their appliances. In this case, this may have been a built-in defect limited to Schott Ceran glass, who produce range tops for Maytag. Let's just say that this report is a "heads up" for all products with Ceran glass, whether produced by Schott or not.
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO -- I have a Maytag corning glass top stove that is at least 15 years old. I still have the cleaner that came with it. It looks almost as nice as it did when I got it. So I bought one for my son and his wife. I heard complaints so when I was there I tried to clean the top. Even with the cleaner and a special scrub pad, would not clean it. It even had some shiny spots I've never seen before. I discovered the top was made in China.
I also discovered that it was bought out by Whirlpool, I wish I would have done my homework because the quality is not there. It's sad that the bottom line is more important to a company that buys out a competitor. I have many Maytag appliances, but I will not buy another. So everyone don't buy Maytag anymore because it isn't Maytag. Is there a glass top out there by corning?
VANCOUVER CANADA -- Maytag would accept responsibility for a defective gas range which did not work from day one. The range would heat up but would not hold the temperature. The repairman at first thought the problem was the thermostat however after replacing it the problem persisted. The repairman concluded that this was a defective unit and should be replaced as the problem was either a defective gas valve or major problem with the control board. Since we did not contact Maytag within one year the warranty had lapsed.
When we complained within a year Maytag told us it was normal for a gas range to lose temperature but heat up again. When we complained again to Maytag the one year had lapsed. We also purchased a new Maytag fridge and dishwasher which we had problems within the second year. Do not buy Maytag.
Here is my control panel problem. I purchased my dream double oven gas range, only to turn into a nightmare. The control panel actually melted and the plastic buckled right on the buttons that control all the oven functions. If this had happened within the first 90 days they would have checked into a recall, I was told.
It did not so I had to purchase an extended warranty at $350.+ which I did, since the ovens wouldn't work at all. I corresponded with Maytag and told them I felt this was a faulty design and that I wanted my money back that I had to pay out for extra warranty. They stood behind their product. So I got the new control panel installed and within a month the same problem the control panel is buckling again. Apparent the flame from the right rear burner shoots up on to the panel and melts it.
Now this to me is FAULTY DESIGN. I thought a stove was designed to cook your food on all burners and both ovens. So now both of the ovens are pooched as well. Apparently the pieces needed to fix the ovens are no longer available, so we will see what this extended warranty will do for me. 2007 this stove is 6 years old. I had a gas range before this for 25 years and traded it in for this nightmare stove. I will find out in a couple of days what the warranty will do to replace my stove. It better be good!
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK -- Bought a Maytag Gas Range in December 2011. Started having problems with it first week of use. Oven would not ignite or stay lit, and would not bake evenly because it couldn't keep consistent temperature. Repairman came to fix it 4 different times in a 3 month span. Worked fine for about 10 months and then started doing the exact same thing again. Worst appliance I have ever bought and Maytag would not take care of it at all. Will not ever buy anything Maytag again. MAYTAG IS EXPENSIVE GARBAGE! Do yourself a favor and purchase another brand with your hard earned money. I know that I will.
BENTON HARBOR, MICHIGAN -- Called to order parts for my range. I was told I could pay for overnight shipping, which I did, because I have a catering job and needed my range repaired as soon as possible. It was after 6:00, so I asked point blank, "If I pay for overnight shipping, will I have it tomorrow?" The salesman assured me I would.
When I called to find out why I haven't received my part, I was told it would be shipped out today (which is when I was supposed to have received it) and would receive it tomorrow. I told her I would like to have the overnight shipping charge removed from my charges. She refused. I asked to speak to a manager and she put me on hold for a while. When she returned, she said SHE spoke to her manager and that he would not refund my money. I asked again to speak with him and she would not let me.
They have me over a barrel, because I have to have the part, but I will never buy Maytag again. I was under the impression that they were excellent customer service... I have not found that to be true.
This Maytag Range is a 5 burner gas range with a see-through oven door. There are several problems with the design of this door. The first is that the door window consists of three panes of glass. The two inner panes of glass are sealed together to insulate the oven and perform nicely. The out glass has a tendency to get very dirty on the inner surface of glass.
This is caused by the fact that the oven door is used as vent for the oven. Instead of porting the vented vapors around the clear opening, the vapors pass over the surface of the glass. Since the exterior of the oven is nominally at room temperature these vapors condense with the consequent mess.
Even this would not be all that bad if the design allowed simple removal of the glass - it does not, it is difficult. It was only through a lot of frustration and searching forums that I discovered the tricks to removing the oven door and glass. After cleaning everything I went to reinstall the oven door - another problem. The specified system did not work at all. Again I had to search forums for the answer. I have always like Maytag appliances, but these are the last I buy - the quality is going downhill.

Slim Thug Feat. Paul Wall & Zro - Houston (Official Video) (It's the Texans theme song)
I mean, it's not the greatest, but it's pretty hot, especially the beat. It'd be awesome if some New York rappers did a remake with the same beat but better lyrics, no disrespect to Paul Wall, one of the fewer rappers down South I like.
P.S. I just remembered linking to explicit music got a dude suspended, so I can't post it. I can't ffind the edited version because I'm looking for the video, it actually has Adrian Peterson in it.

Building A Lab for ethical Hacking
I know there's a few posts in the forums here that talks about building a lab to practice security (ethical hacking). I've already read some of them.
in this post I just want to share with you the way I'm gonna build my lab, hopefully with your comments and maybe criticism I'll do best.
first here is a simple MAP:
by the way I know there is something called "Virtual Machine"
I tried it and its Okay
and here is Objectives that I want to achieve:
- Practice setting up Active Directory & DNS on the windows boxes.
- Practice setting up SAMBA on the Linux box.
- Get Snort and Ethereal and learn to monitor traffic.
- Practice tightening the kernel on Linux.
- Read up on the Windows services and see which ones you can disable w/o breaking authentication or replication.
- Set up VPN's and RAS in ALL of the Boxes and learn to harden them.
- Practice MONITORING SECURITY LOGS.
and more that I can't remember right now.
and also practicing to get Certifications like:
[CCNA or RHCE or MCSE, CEH, CPTE, OSWP and OSCP]
It might take some time to get all those, but it doesn't matter how long it will take. because I'm having fun right now and I don't want it to end

Media surveillance and 'the day we fight back'
Today, a broad coalition of technology companies, human rights organizations, political groups, and others will take to the Web and to the streets to protest mass surveillance. The mobilization, known as "The Day We Fight Back," honors activist and technologist Aaron Swartz, who passed away just over a year ago. Throughout the day, the campaign will encourage individuals to contact their representatives, pressure their employers, and march for an end to government surveillance practices that sweep up huge amounts of data, often indiscriminately.

Young girl testifies in Solomon murder trial
Witness: 'I kept wondering if he was going to kill me too.'
Trapped in a trailer home with a man who just killed the woman she thought of as her mother -- that's what a 14-year-old girl testified on Tuesday morning in Third Judicial District Court in Las Cruces.
The testimony was part of the murder trial of Horace Solomon Jr.
Solomon is accused of stabbing his ex-wife to death in front of their children.
ABC-7 is not identifying the young girl by the request of the judge.
The girl said the murder itself took just a handful of minutes, but she and two other boys were forced to stay in the trailer for hours with Jenny Bates' body and the man who the girl said killed her.
The girl said she and Bates were watching scary movies in Bates' trailer home with Bates' two sons.
The girl is the daughter of Bates' boyfriend at the time, who also lived in that trailer home.
Police said the boyfriend was not there that night because he was in jail for traffic citations.
"She (Jenny Bates) was scared. You could tell in her voice," the girl said on the stand.
The girl said Solomon forced his way into the trailer when Bates opened the door to let the dogs out. She said Solomon locked the door behind him and grabbed Bates by her hair.
Bates tossed the girl her cell phone and told her to call police, the girl said. Before she could make the call, Solomon took the phone and threw it across the room.
Then the girl said Solomon told her, "Shut up and watch."
The young girl said Bates didn't put up a fight when she was attacked. The girl said Solomon grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed Bates dozens of times.
"He seemed really mad. He kept stabbing her over and over, really fast," the girl said.
The girl said she couldn't believe what she had just seen.
"I was crying to Jenny and asked her to wake up," the girl said.
Bates' and Solomon's two young sons were both asleep in the trailer. The girl said both boys slept through the stabbing because neither she nor Bates screamed.
When it was over, the young girl begged to leave.
"I said, 'Can I call my grandpa please? I won't tell anyone what you did. I just want to go home,'" the girl said.
The girl said Solomon refused to let her leave or call anyone. She said she sat in Bates' bedroom with the two boys wondering if he was going to kill her too.
Family and friends wiped away tears as they watched the young girl tell her story in court.
"It sounded like Jenny was choking on her own blood in the living room. It was a weird noise. He made us sit on the couch and look at her," the girl said.
The girl said Solomon started speaking nonsense as he downed a bottle of vodka he had brought with him.
The girl said that hours later she and one of the boys were finally able to escape when Solomon passed out next to Bates' body.
"She was like my mom. She would always introduce me as her daughter," the girl said on the stand.
District Attorney Amy Orlando asked her, "How did that make you feel?"
"Special," the girl replied.
The defense cross-examined the girl, focusing on two statements she gave police the night of the murder.
The girl said she couldn't remember what she told police back then.

Exhibitionism is very widely frowned upon in our society, and maybe rightly so, but this hasn't stopped Ted Baker from basing his spring / summer 2012 collection on this idea. And thank God for that. Every piece is sharp, rich with prints, full of bright colours, and, as is expected from exhibitionism, truly is a middle finger raised to conformity.
In just over 20 years, Ted has turned attention to detail into an art, delighting us with "no ordinary" clothes and accessories, and laying the groundwork not only for a great brand, but also for a different way of life. Spring 2012 is an embodiment of this aim, as this collection is the most complete and the most fantastic to date, enabling us to dress "head to toe" in Ted's cloak of non-conformity.
Womenswear is very inspired by "flower power" as English roses, peonies and cherry blossom in full bloom cover 50s dress shapes which celebrate the female form with their defined waists, full skirts and and cut away detailing. Butterflies and ladybugs appear on every piece from jacket to shorts so as to capture the spirit of spring. The floral theme continues with laser cur appliqué and intricate cutwork adding interest to dresses, tops and flirty shorts.
This leisure look is contrasted by the structured silhouettes of the formal dresses, which plays on a minimalist range of colours, enhancing the tailoring details that we have come to expect from Ted Baker.
Accessories embody successful women everywhere and their trepidant city lifestyle, as they are uniquely perfect to compliment a casual everyday look, a smart night out on the town or for the sophisticated office.
Equally great is Ted's Menswear collection, which has everything of a self portrait as it captures every element of his personality: larger than life, bursting with vivid colours, details, and offering a bright and breezy take on riviera dressing. Ted Baker was never a slave to men's fashion and this season's timeless classics have proven him right once more. Chinos come in bright and earthy shades, and subtle prints cover shirts and polos. This is all a gentleman needs for his wardrobe, whether it be for an informal occasion as seen above, or a formal one, as the spring 2012 collection provides the best Ted Baker has to offer, from navy to light blue, concentrating on lustrous materials for those who want to get their shine on and take the office by storm.
As always, outerwear is themed around seafaring, golfing and boating, and will provide a touch of class to any outing.
This season will feat extremely well with big city's youth as it gives a touch of unique to every outfit and will make anyone stand from the crowd, a goal pursued by many since the popularization of the "endless wardrobe". It portrays youth and success and gives every tool to attain both, and show it.
Because after all, Ted's always been the great exhibitionist.
