Witnesses describe Flathead groom during murder trial
MISSOULA, Mont. - U.S. Attorneys called more than a dozen witnesses Wednesday, as they tried to prove a Kalispell bride killed her husband of just eight days last July.
Jordan Linn Graham confessed to pushing Cody Lee Johnson off a cliff in Glacier. She claimed it was self-defense, but prosecutors claim she planned his murder.
Much of Wednesday's session in federal court focused on his friends and family.
Johnson's mother, Sherry, broke down in tears as she told the court about her son and explained how excited he had been to marry Graham. "He told me it was the best day of his life," she testified. "I've always wanted to be a grandma...he was excited about that too."
The jury also heard from one of Johnson's best friends, Cameron Fredrickson, who said he warned Johnson not to marry Graham. Another witness said that during Johnson's bachelor party, the men placed bets on how long the marriage would last.
When Johnson went missing Fredrickson's suspicions grew.
"I actually broke into their house...because this whole story is not like Cody." he said. "It made me feel like Jordan had something to do with Cody missing."
Fredrickson claimed he was looking for evidence to incriminate Graham because he felt she was violent and had hurt Johnson. He searched closets and even the crawl space for bloody rags, weapons or a body, but didn't find anything.
Fredrickson said he told Kalispell police and the FBI about breaking into the house. He said he entered through an unlocked back door.
It took two more days after Fredrickson's search for Johnson's body to be discovered at Glacier National Park.
Jurors also heard from FBI agent Stacey Smiedala. He described how Graham began crying when he told her he knew she was at the park with Johnson.
In a recording, Smiedala asked Graham what she meant by the term "wedding blues." Graham said she was feeling she should have waited longer to get married, and she was not on cloud nine.
She admitted she was sad after the marriage, but still wanted a life with Johnson.
Smiedala told the court that Graham told him she turned away from Johnson after he grabbed her, but then pushed him off the cliff. She says in the recording that she should have walked away from the situation but didn't.
According to the recording, Graham told Smiedala she had never seen Johnson as angry as he was during their argument at the park.
Smiedala asked her to rank her own feelings on a scale from 1 to 10, and Graham replied that she was at a 10-level of anger that night.
The trial resumes with additional witness from the prosecution at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

It is an ongoing thought, that has turned into a hashtag, that I wanted to share with my GeekDad community because I think you probably have a greater understanding of this than I do. The hashtag is #cylonnews, or it should be. Basically, I use it to tweet any interesting video or news report or information that captures our inevitable scientific push towards the creation of cylons.
Of course, they won't be called cylons, they'll be called something else, but essentially our technology is beginning to look more and more like robotic AI that brings about the (almost) destruction of humanity as represented in Battlestar Galactica. So, what does #cylonnews look like?
Well, you are probably already thinking of Boston Dynamics' 'Big Dog' that can be found trekking over unstable ground over on YouTube, or any number of those spooky Japanese robot demos – from the strange humanoids like Actroid to the latest Mech-Warrior technology. But #cylonnews can be more subtle. It could be referencing the fact people are developing commercially available 3D printing in skin tones, where it is the commercial availability that is as interesting a development as the technology because it makes us more comfortable and at ease with the recreation of three dimensional ideas of ourselves. Ones that exist outside the walls of a wax museum. Continue Reading "#CylonNews: It's Inevitable, Really." »

Looks like you got a good one there!
My "feral" queen (supercedure) laid up eight deep frames in no time once she got started -- nice to see a solid brood pattern like that.
How do your 11 1/4" frame hives do? I'm thinking of using that size for a single "deep" brood nest with some mediums for checkerboarding.

[quote user="TheEnigma"]Oh wow, no one picked Mercilus yet? That's nuts.[/quote] Most Draftniks arent overly high on Mercilus. Most ive talked to grade him out as a 2nd rounder.
Thanks for link, following along now.
Whoever is drafting for the Bengals is going full ****** IMO.
[quote user="Redeyejedi"]I could take Alshon Jeffery he is still on the board[/quote]
So is Mark Barron. Surprised the Ravens guy took Kuechly instead of Hightower. Hightower is a MUCH better fit for the Ravens.
[quote user="Redeyejedi"]Right now Im leaning towards taking Barron. I really like WR Reuben Randle though but this is a deep receiver draft I can grab one later.[/quote]
I like where your head is at.
T-t-t-TODAY Ravens guy!

Two Leading Forces in Making the School Day More Active
Playworks is a non-profit organization spreading throughout low-income schools across the country. Playworks offers up coaches, lots of equipment and enthusiasm to help children make the most of recess. It is a structured recess program that brings in trained college-grad coaches to help lead a variety of games and sports and teach students interpersonal skills such as group management, violence prevention and conflict resolution. Find more info at www.playworks.org
JamminMinute brings physical activity into the classroom with FREE and easy-to-implement physical activity breaks throughout the day. The rapidly expanding program reaches 9 million students in 17% of all schools in the United States and continues to grow. For more information, check out www.healthetips.com
Earlier this month, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the leading voice of pediatricians in the United States, published a policy statement titled "The Crucial Role of Recess in School." Given the near absence of recess in many schools (only three states—Delaware, Virginia and Nebraska—have 20 minutes of mandatory recess per day in elementary schools and 39 states have no recess rules), the report gained widespread media attention. But this is not new—in 2007 the AAP published a similar report (Ginsberg, 2007) highlighting the important role of play in every child's life and the how recess provides that important outlet. With the preponderance of evidence suggesting that recess not only provides much-needed activity benefits for kids, but also improves a child's concentration, behavior, academic performance and social skills, the lingering question is "Will schools take action?"
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines recess as "regularly scheduled periods within the elementary school day for unstructured physical activity and play." While unstructured play is best, some schools have adopted a more structured form of recess to ensure that children get some level of moderate-to-vigorous activity. The AAP prefers unstructured recess, but also sees the value in, and encourages, structured recess. The report emphasizes, however, that recess should not replace physical education. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case in many states—those states that meet recess guidelines are less likely to meet physical education recommendations.
One of the major reasons that physical education and recess have been on the chopping block is to make time for more "academic" subjects, despite the fact that a growing body of evidence suggests that kids who get recess breaks and those who are physically active do better in school. Kids from lower income and urban communities—kids who arguably need these activity breaks the most due to higher rates of overweight and obesity, as well as higher prevalence of concentration problems—are the one's least likely to be afforded any recess time.
So what to do about it? The AAP concluded with the following recommendations to schools:
Several questions remain to be answered: Will schools receive the support and resources they need, and will policy makers have the will to act, to ensure opportunities for recess and activity breaks for our kids?

A bland musical genre popular around the turn of the millennium. Groups such as Maroon 5, Train, Coldplay, and of course, John Mayer typified the genre. Enjoyed by soccer moms, overweight teenage girls, and frat boys trying to get drunk freshman in to bed, it is the natural extension of "yacht rock", popular in the late 70's and early 80's.
"Brenda, you have to get the new album by bath rock superstar John Mayer. His light breathy voice, inoffensive pseudo-sexual lyrics and bland musical stylings get my juices flowing."

Wow. I would have never guessed it was wax. Crazy looking, like somekind of fungus growth. The top left looks just like a sea shell fossil.
What kind of steam melter?
I attached the steam from two pressure cookers to a square tank that melts ten brood combs at a time. The wax flows out the bottom into a pan.
does steam actually go into the box or just around it? about how long does it take to melt 10 frames? i have to many frames that i need to melt aswell do u have a pic? thanks for posting
Here is a sideways view. All my videos turn out upside down or sideways. I have two pressure cookers, one feeding two jets on top and one feeding a jet on the bottom. My friend bought the tank for $70, the burners cost $70, misc fittings $20, I had the pressure cookers and hose. The box will fit twelve frames standing and those make about two pounds of wax and leaves the frame fairly clean. You could do the same and leave the frames in their box. Takes almost two hours per batch.
Buying new frames is probably cheaper and better than the time and expense of renovating old ones.
Here is the sideways video:
looks good! thanks again for posting! i have a 20 gallon s.s. tank i can easily convert into wax melter. should be a fun project. i will do it to sterlize the extra frames i have and to sell the wax. i guess the only downfall is i have to many frames to melt and will take a long time. i have over 400 frames. thanks for the links also
I have used a old propane wallpaper steamer tied to a steel garbage can. In the same idea as odfrank.

The Jurong Bird Park is a world-famous bird zoo within there are specimens of magnificent bird life from around the world. It is currently the world's largest bird park in terms of number of birds and second largest in terms of land area after Germany's Vogelpark Walsrode. There are over 9,000 birds of 600 species within the Park, of those 29 are of endangered species. One of the special areas was the "Lory Loft" a 3,000 square meters large and about 9 story's high and is the world's largest walk-in flight aviary for Lories and lorikeets, with over 1,000 free-flying lories. The entire ambience adheres to a rain forest vale of tropical Northern Australia
The Singapore Zoo is world-famous with about 315 species of animal in the zoo, of which some 16% are considered threatened species.The zoo is a model of the 'open zoo' concept. The animals are kept in spacious, landscaped enclosures, separated from the visitors by either dry or wet moats. The moats are concealed with vegetation or dropped below the line of vision. In the case of dangerous animals which can climb very well, moat barriers are not used. Instead, these animals are housed in landscaped glass-fronted enclosures.
The Night Safari is the world's first nocturnal zoo and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Singapore.The Night Safari currently houses a total of 1,040 animals of 120 species, of which 29% are threatened species. Unlike traditional nocturnal houses, which reverse the day-night cycle of animals so they will be active by day, the Night Safari is an entire open-air zoo set in a humid tropical forest that is only open at night. It is divided into eight geographical zones, which can be explored either on foot via three walking trails, or by tram. Darcy and I did both the walking trails and the tram which were very interesting. As far as pictures, you could not use a flash and therefore it was very difficult to get any good shots

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
A selection of images and text from the recent book by Joshua Lutz.
The Meadowlands is that giant swath of swamp and space that separates New Jersey from New York City, or, put another way, from New York City and the rest of the United States of America.
The Meadowlands is a landscape that is, no matter where you are within it, more panorama than single place; it is widescreen, 3-D, and IMAX all rolled into one, regardless of whether you are seeing it in its clear blue sky version or in its smokestack-fueled gray. Exactly how big the Meadowlands is depends on what you consider to be the Meadowlands.
Are you thinking about the parts that look like swamp, with reeds and herons and mud? Are you talking about the areas that the state government deems Meadowlands, which is that area that is part swamp and part what might be called developable landscape, whatever developable means? Are you talking about the places that are Meadowlands-esque, for lack of a more precise phrase: those business that are beat up, factories that are deteriorating, plants that produce things that are one giant note, such as electricity, or gravel, or smoke and fumes from burnt trash?
Are you talking about the places that seem not quite like any place, places that, if you get lost and run into them accidentally, somehow seem a little lost themselves: parking lots without cars, bus stops without bus passengers, a castle filled with knights and maidens that are all out of time and—officially, anyway—without a king? Are you thinking of those roads that seem a lot like the opposite of the New Jersey Turnpike, the Turnpike being the Meadowlands' Amazon River: little beat-up, one-lane, barely paved and sometimes even dirt paths that, as opposed to the sixteen or so lanes of superhighway that separate the airport in Newark from the giant Swedish home furnishings outlet in Elizabeth?
Those roads that wind up taking you to an old broken-down pier, a place, if you are driving or even walking, where you are forced to look down off of a crumbling shoreline and see the cold, fast-flowing Hackensack River as it wells up, just before melding with the Passaic River in Newark Bay and then becoming New York Harbor and then the Atlantic Ocean.

"There is no basis in nature for a right to sodomy," Michael Heath told the Associated Press in March.
I assume monkeys, dogs, and other animals known to engage in this practice will take note and reform their perverted ways.
But considering the source, probably not.
You may remember Heath as the ousted executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine. He's now one of the founders of a political action committee called No Special Rights and is campaigning against the same-sex marriage referendum on the November ballot. Except he doesn't often refer to it as same-sex marriage or marriage equality or even homosexual marriage. Heath prefers to call it "sodomy-based marriage."
"Sodomy" is the term used since the Middle Ages by puritans to label those varieties of sex they found objectionable. Which, with puritans, happened to be almost all of them. At one time or another, the word has been applied not only to anal intercourse, but also to everything from bestiality to mutual masturbation. In addition, a lot of god-fearing straight couples might be surprised to learn sodomy is generally defined as including any form of oral sex.
By the way, the word that puritans use as a euphemism for sex acts that meet with their approval is "love." Which must be sort of confusing for folks who think that's how they feel about their kids, their pussy cats, or beer.
But back to Heath. He's decided that those opposing the same-sex marriage initiative are a bunch of politically correct wimps, who want to run a campaign based on praising traditional values while ignoring what he calls on his blog the "sexual permissiveness agenda." In an op-ed in the Bangor Daily News last month, he wrote, "Pro-family organizations in Maine are not defending marriage with this message. They are planning for defeat."
Heath's strategy is not merely to prevent gay men and lesbians from engaging in wedlock — and those other things they do. He wants to create a "God-honoring marriage culture" in which government has no role in deciding who can get hitched. That authority would be vested solely in churches. Which is odd, because there are plenty of churches in Maine that would be happy to marry same-sex couples.
Perhaps, Heath hasn't thought this thing through quite as thoroughly as he should have.
Anyway, in the Heath alternative universe, there'd be no unseemly lust allowed. And anyone wanting a divorce would be told they should have thought of that before they said "I do," because there wouldn't be any way short of death to break that bond. As for Maine's civil-rights law that bans discrimination against people because of sexual orientation, Heath's blog entries give the impression he may not be entirely in favor of retaining it.
"The so-called 'gay' movement is rooted in sorcery," he wrote, "and it is a child of the devil, and an enemy of everything that is right."
Which sort of hints at Heath's real agenda. He doesn't just want to defeat same-sex marriage. What he really wants is to roll back legal protections for gays and lesbians in the areas of employment, housing, credit, and public accommodation. If you think I'm exaggerating, consider this: In his op-ed, he claimed that if the November referendum is successful, gay-rights activists will "drag caterers and photographers into court for refusing to participate in same-sex marriage ceremonies."

Pageant week was filled with anticipation and excitement.
One of the main concerns throughout the entire pageant week was choreography. Since day one, on top of their busy schedules with sponsor visits and public appearances, our delegates were rehearsing, rehearsing, and rehearsing whenever they had the time. By the second day, most of them had already been functioning on adrenalin due to a lack of sleep.

It's worked for us in the past.[/quote] yea put if Reese doesn't value anybody thats there as the 31st pick, he could see major value in the 2nd/3rd rounds, so if we could get an extra player that hes high on that its the move to make... too many possibilities without enough knowledge of whats going to happen. sit back and enjoy the ride tonight...

I dont get that. Why not just pick the 2nd/3rd round talent with the 31st pick if nothings there instead of trading the first round pick for a second.

It's thrilling, really, that first moment your defenses are breached, that first trickle of water between your shoulder blades, like a slow, icy tickle on hot skin. Then the rain pants soak through, followed by the slow saturation of wool long johns. Then the neoprene gloves become clammy; they drip water when you clench your fists. Then more water seeps in from your neck line; it creeps up your arms and your waist; your fleece hoodie absorbs it like sponge, swirling water vapor inside your plastic jacket, condensing until there are more droplets on the inside of the sleeves than the outside. When the wool leggings won't hold any more moisture, lukewarm water trickles down your vapor barrier socks to your liner socks, which are already soaked with sweat anyway. You wriggle your white wrinkled toes and breathe in the thick humidity, the vapor of warm sweat and cold air surrounding your own personal biosphere. And you pedal harder into the geyser streaming from both sides of your pathetic fenders, and you smile, because you and the rain are finally one, and you are free.
That's exactly why I live in the desert SW!ReplyDelete
Sometimes I think I should jump in the shower with my clothes on before a rainy ride just to get past the fight and into acceptance.ReplyDelete
I think I can smell you from here.ReplyDelete

On its own the Rhyme doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary. However, its killer feature is the amount of included accessories that come in the box, including a docking station with built-in speakers that turns the phone into a handy, bedside alarm clock.
• Optus exclusively nabs 'elegant' HTC Rhyme for the girls
• The best upcoming smartphones in 2011
On first glance, there isn't anything remarkable or new about the HTC Rhyme. It's emblazoned in a light colour called "clearwater", which is best described as a mix between light blue and light grey. The front of the Rhyme is taken up largely by the 3.7in touchscreen display flanked by a gloss black bezel, while the rear of the handset is broken into three parts: the removable, plastic battery cover at the bottom is a creamy blue colour, the aluminium piece in the centre with an etched HTC logo is a metallic bluish grey, and the top piece that houses the camera, LED flash, speaker and dock connectors is a creamy while plastic.
The three colours give the Rhyme a distinctive look over most of its competitors, but the colour combination is hardly feminine in our opinion. That's reserved for overseas models of the Rhyme, which come in a deep purple colour called "plum". The Rhyme is a well built phone: its body is constructed from a single piece of aluminium that HTC calls a unibody design. It's also just 10.1mm thick which makes it both comfortable to hold and easy to pocket. Unfortunately, the HTC Rhyme's battery is not removable and we didn't like the plastic flap concealing the micro-USB port on the left side of the phone.
The HTC Rhyme has a 3.7in SLCD screen with a resolution of 480x800 pixels. The screen is bright and clear and displays text with minimal aberrations, but it's not as large or as vivid as bigger-screened alternatives. Despite this, the Rhyme's screen is responsive and its size is large enough to comfortably type on the touch-screen keyboard with little complaint.
The HTC Rhyme runs the Android 2.3 'Gingerbread' operating system, but its HTC's Sense UI overlay that's of more interest. The latest version is Sense 3.5 and once again HTC has added some minor features. These include an updated clock widget on the home screen, a preview widget that lets you view your most recent e-mails, photos, messages and apps, and 12 new wallpapers.
HTC mentioned the word "de-clutter" multiple times when it launched the Rhyme in Australia and that's what it has attempted to achieve by making some minor changes to the user interface. You can now remove home screens on the Rhyme if you don't use them (there are seven by default), and the new 'shortcuts and clock' widget negates the use of multiple widgets to access commonly used functions. It includes shortcuts for mail, messages, music, camera and the Android Market — you can tap on the right side of widget to see a slide out drawer of the latest activity (a new message or e-mail, for example) or tap in the middle of the widget to launch that particular app. The result is both easy to use and practical and is definitely an improvement over previous iterations of the Sense UI. We think its perfect for first time smartphone buyers.
HTC has added some enhancements to the camera app: you can now snap images with face recognition and burst mode, as well as upload photos to Facebook automatically — this was a feature first introduced in HTC's ChaCha and Salsa Facebook phones. The Rhyme camera includes live effects, so you can see the effect on the screen before the photo is taken, and also includes a panorama feature that stiches three photos together to take wide shots. Photos taken in low-light conditions don't stack up too well in terms of quality and images do have a lot of noise, but for most part the Rhyme is a decent camera phone. It also doubles as a handy 720p HD video recorder.
As it's a Sense 3.5 Android phone, the HTC Rhyme is also the first smartphone that will work with the company's new HTC Sync software. It's now compatible with Mac PCs for the first time and will sync music playlists from iTunes, along with your contacts, calendar, photos, documents, videos and Web browser bookmarks.
Critically, the HTC Rhyme does not seem overwhelmed by the graphically intense Sense UI despite its reasonably modest specifications. The 1GHz processor and 768MB of RAM make this a relatively fast smartphone during day-to-day use, though there was the occasional time where we wish the Rhyme had a bit more speed. The camera app often took a little longer than expected to start-up, and the home screen occasionally stuttered before unlocking. The HTC Rhyme has 4GB of internal memory, along with a microSD card slot for extra storage.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Steamboat Springs There was a clear difference in the effect consistent winning and losing had had on the two teams.
In one corner, Middle Park — the winner of 14 games coming in to Tuesday's match — found itself down a pair of games.
On the other corner, the Steamboat Springs High School volleyball team — the definition of inconsistency this year — was up, its emotions showing through.
A short 46 minutes later, Middle Park walked away with an improbable win, tilting Steamboat's emotions the way of Philip Rivers. The Panthers won, 23-25, 24-26, 25-14, 25-20 and 15-6.
"That's a team that's used to winning," Steamboat coach Wendy Hall said. "Even down two sets they believed they can win. This is a team that unfortunately has gotten used to losing. When they started coming back, we got doubt in our heads."
It's been an interesting paradigm for the Sailors this season. Even with a young team, Steamboat showed early signs of competing in a muddled Western Slope League. But as in Tuesday's game, when things started going the other way, Steamboat never seems to find an answer.
"We're not very good at picking ourselves up," said Steamboat senior Alex Feeley, who arguably had her best game as a prep player, finishing with 25 kills on a softball-sized ankle hurt last weekend in Rifle. "It can't just be a couple of girls trying to pick it up. I guess that's something we've got to work on."
Emotions were on display early on.
Steamboat was efficient and emotional in the first two games when it jumped out to lead, withstood Panthers charges and won points when it mattered.
But early in the third game, the momentum seemed to shift.
"Yeah," Hall said, "I could sense it."
The Panthers were a different team, feeling things slide their way.
"This team I've been working with since they were seventh-graders," Middle Park coach Nicci Guerrieri said. "They've always been the comeback team. They really don't let anything get them down. They've always been that way."
Middle Park was scrappier than Steamboat, and setter Kelly Allen took over the game. The senior set, spiked, tapped and controlled every bit of the game in her 5-foot-10 frame.
In the fifth and deciding set, Steamboat took an early 3-1 lead but lacked emotion. Middle Park, behind Allen, started to again take control before a Steamboat time out.
"I can't find a time out recipe to break it," Hall said. "My effectiveness to turn them around hasn't been good. Part of a coach's job is to get a team turned around in tough moments, and I'm not doing a good job of that."
The Panthers continued the onslaught, eventually completing the comeback.
Steamboat (8-11) next plays at 6 p.m. Thursday at Glenwood Springs.
"I'm a little bit perplexed where to go from here in practice," Hall said. "We have to do something to break out of the tailspin we're in. We have two games left. Hopefully, we can finish on a high note."

text: It's super important for everyone to clean the lint around your bobbin and feed dogs. I talked to a repairman about this. He said someone came in with their machine, and he called to ask how it was working, after he had cleaned it. The lady told him that it ran fine, but the felt pad under the feed dogs was missing. Turned out that the felt pad was all lint!

When he did my daughter yelled out in her loudest voice "TELEPHONE" That broke up the whole congregation. Needless to say, we were a little embarrassed.

'Two years ago, riding high on the success of Mad Men and Breaking Bad, AMC made a deal to develop a series based on Francis Ford Coppola's classic 1974 film The Conversation. The series was to revolve around Harry Caul, the surveillance expert originally played by Gene Hackman, as he took on different tracking jobs, all while trying to discover details about some widespread conspiracy he believed was closing in on him. That show still hasn't materialized (IMDB lists it as "in development"), but with Rubicon (Sundays at 9 pm), AMC has now brought us a drama with a similar premise: an espionage expert discovers he's stumbled upon a larger conspiracy, and he's beginning to realize that they — whoever "they" are — are on to him. At one point, our protagonist sits in his darkened apartment, lost in paranoia — I half-expected him to throw out all of his stuff, carefully remove all electrical wiring, pull up the floorboards, and grab a saxophone.
Rubicon, which "officially" premieres August 1 at 8 pm (the first episode previously aired in June, after the Breaking Bad season-three finale), focuses on Will Travers (James Badge Dale — Leckie from HBO's The Pacific), who works in some sort of off-the-grid multi-purpose intelligence agency. His job involves reading multiple newspapers from different countries, and it's there that Will spies something peculiar: an identical crossword printed in several different publications on the same morning containing some vague message about a secret fourth branch of government. After he shows it to his boss, he starts noticing how some things are subtly off, and that leads him to believe he's discovered something. He doesn't know what, and neither do we. There isn't — as of the first four episodes — even a hint at a specific conspiracy or dastardly motives.
Unfortunately, there's also not much of a hook beyond that massive, cloudy conspiracy angle. Will's work doesn't become that interesting until the third episode, and even then, it's underdeveloped. He doesn't have much of a personality, either, beyond "guy who seems good at his job." One of the evil henchmen asks another why they're following this guy; I wondered the same. The biggest detail we learn about him — that his wife and daughter were killed in the 9/11 attack — explains why he's so mopy all the time, but we get no hint of a personality. Will has a boss (Arliss Howard) who seems vaguely evil (possibly because of his all-black wardrobe), and a team of annoying co-workers, like Miles (Dallas Roberts), who's twitchy and intense, and the pompous-yet-insecure Grant (Christopher Evan Welch). The third member of the team — Tanya (Lauren Hodges), who may be drinking to help herself cope with the moral complications of her job — is the most interesting. But nobody is well served by the humorless, functional dialogue.
Despite all that, when the conspiracy stuff gets going and Will starts discovering more clues and cracking more codes, Rubicon manages to captivate — it just takes a few episodes to get there. Moving at a slow pace, the show does a good job of drawing out the tension of mundane activities like waiting for a subway train or eating breakfast in your apartment, giving us Will's perspective, allowing us to feel his increased level of suspicion, one that won't even let him respond to a friendly tip-of-the-coffee-cup salute from his neighbor.

Gift Guide for Groom Guys
Creative Attendant Gifting Without the Heavy Lifting
by Carolyn Gerin
From a bride's perspective, gifting your entourage is as easy as slipping into a warm bath with a chilled glass of Chardonnay.
You can't go wrong—every wedding magazine in the free world has a pretty pink gift guide with a coterie of fabulously appropriate offerings for bridesmaids, much of it a mouse click away. With choices as luxurious as a spa day or a custom-beaded bag to the predictable pashmina, you're prevented from putting even one little silk stockinged foot in the wrong direction.
But when it comes time for the groom to hand out attendants' loot, he's flying without radar. The standard fare—pewter flask, 30-year-aged bottle of scotch or a pair of silk boxers—is as old as yesterday's Dow Jones Industrial Average. Yet the likelihood of him seeking out more original gifts is pathetically slim: we all know how much men love to shop. Especially on a sunny spring day when they could (pick activity): play ultimate Frisbee, surf, watch the football game, or go to the Home Depot power tools museum.
So, knowing the male species' innate fear of the shopping mall, overall impatience with social obligations, and proclivity for procrastination, quickly forward this article and give it to him before he spends perfectly good time and money on perfectly useless gifts.
Groom's Gift Guide
Rule of the road: look to lifestyle and the gift will follow. If the attendant surfs, then the gift given should reflect the life aquatic. Camp, trek or hike? It's off to REI we go. A bon vivant bachelor might warm up to the polycarbonate margarita set from Williams-Sonoma. You get the picture. Your foresight in gifting appropriately, with an eye to customization and a nod to the cultivated gentility of James Bond, will win you the respect and admiration that a man of taste duly deserves. When it comes down to brass tacks, any attendant who must spend his day in a polyester rent-a-tux will look back on your wedding fondly and affectionately every time he fires up his Garmin GPS device or Jetboil camping stove.
A word on spending and gifting: ever since weddings (and pre-events such as bachelor parties) started morphing into pricey destination affairs, it upped the ante on gifts. If you plan on a Vegas bachelor party replete with a luxe hotel-dinner-drinks combo, and you're not going to foot the bill for your attendants, consider gifts that reflect their financial commitment. It's safe to say that another flask or pair of $50 boxers will get kicked into the bottom dresser drawer if presented as a token of appreciation. Economizing on gifts if you expect to be treated like a pasha is an etiquette don't. If you think this is petty, think again. Having done more wedding research than most sane women would readily admit, I can say with certainty that giving inappropriate or cheap gifts (just like not serving enough booze or food at a wedding) is an egregious error in judgment. People don't forget—especially those who have dropped sometimes close to $2,000 for the pleasure of participating in your big day.
When giving thanks, show that you mean it with gifts you yourself would love to get and use. Better yet, purchase an item you know the attendant would buy for himself as a special treat. Here's a gift collection that any guy would be happy to add to his repertoire of toys and experiences. The best part? Most of them are available online, so you don't have to miss the game, the surf, or the Saturday power tools summit at Home Depot.
Man About Town
Smooth Operator
For highbrow, low maintenance outdoor entertaining, take a look at the DuraClear polycarbonate Margarita Set ($44) from Kitchen Utensils by Williams-Sonoma. Sleek, sophisticated and designed to withstand hundreds of dishwashing cycles and retain its good looks, this revolutionary material has the sparkle of crystal, the lightness of acrylic, and avoids altogether the inevitable party foul: a broken cocktail glass, poolside.
Wine Advocate
Nothing says a "man in full" quite like a well-stocked wine cellar. The gift of the grape is a sublime and delicious present that can be enjoyed year-round.
Hahn Estates, the Monterey Coast vineyard, best known for their heady red varietals, was voted one of the top 30 U.S. wine companies in February, 2005. They offer a delightful and surprisingly affordable Wine Club—a yearlong adventure for your attendant, during which he can sip and reflect upon what a wonderful friend you are. (Quarterly wine shipments start at $28, including shipping and handling.)
Rosenblum Cellars, Alameda's award-winning winery, offers delectable and affordable wines from their own cellars as well as other wineries around California. Wine Club members enjoy case discounts, and invitations to exclusive events and tastings of reserve wines. (Club memberships range $51-70 depending on the type of membership selected; tax and shipping are extra.) The Reidel glass gift setwith two bottles of tasty elixir is a Bacchus-worthy offering (glasses run $11 each; wine starts at $30/bottle).
Sports Illustrated
The Life Aquatic
"Men who ride mountains" wear O'Neill Superfreak board shorts ($58). Made of neoprene and exclusive four-way stretch fabric in strategic places, these shorts move you seamlessly through the shooting of tubes and precision cutbacks. The O'Zone L/S Rashguard shirt ($55) protects your skin with UPF 50+ for extreme UV exposure, offering complete head, ear and neck coverage built right into the shirt.
Protect your head from UV rays in the surf and out with the Trim Brim hat ($18) by Patagonia. Designed in water repellent Supplex nylon with an adjustable neoprene strap, it won't fly off when you catch a wave (or peruse the ladies poolside).
Tee Party
Some establishments understand that when it comes to weddings, it's not always all about the bride. At Indian Wells Golf Resort, grooms and their men are indulged. If your wedding is booked there, they'll put together golfing packages that comp the groom and father of the bride, plus reduce the per-person fee for attendants. A boxed lunch and/or reception package makes it a hole in one! Call for pricing. www.golfresortatindianwells.com
Techno Geek
Beach Blanket Bachelor Pad
You know the waves are going to peak in about an hour because you just checked your Quiksilver Deep Tidewatch ($124). 15 years of built-in data gives you tide time and water height in seconds for 200 surf spots around the globe, including the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and Australia. A Surf Heat Timer, stainless steel case and 20 ATM water resistance makes this a surfer's dream.
While you're waiting for the swell, chill out with the Quiksilver "Beach Trip" ($92), a wonderful solution for both oral and aural fixations. A combination cooler, speaker set and amplifier, it connects to an iPod and holds your beverages du jour. Now that's livin' large.
Inner Peace
Ahhh, you've just settled into your seat in first class, the last vestige of peace and quiet in air travel. You're looking forward to a relaxing flight before your presentation in Hoboken in 6 hours—until the nice lady with her colicky newborn sits next to you. Don't fret. The Sony Noise Cancelling MDR-NC50 Headphones ($200) reduce noise, stress and free-floating rage in one easy solution. You get 14dB—that's 80%—noise reduction at 300Hz! You'll hear more music and less environment.
Personal Best
The Garmin Forerunner 101 ($114) device is a personal trainer with GPS technology for accurate speed, distance and pace plus the efficiency of a wristwatch. Use it, and you won't have to mark your path with breadcrumbs to find your way home. You'll also be able to measure how fast and far you went a week, a month or 2 years ago. If you want to hike the trails less traveled, leave the navigation to Garmin.
Great Outdoors
Hot Pot
Jetboil ($80) is the first in a revolutionary new line of Personal Cooking Systems that offer a fast, simple solution to cooking hot food in the outdoors, or heating up coffee or soup at midnight in the wilds of your office cubicle. Integrating burner and cookware, Jetboil's design relies on a quick and efficient proprietary heat transfer system. This light, compact and expandable appliance is just the ticket for the guy on the go (or in leg irons at the office).
Range Rover
Whether you spend the day playing park ranger or wave hunter, Motorola Talkabout 2-Wave Radios ($50-100) do the job. Covering an 8-mile distance with 22 channels (8 of them weather), they're great for camping, surf trips, or tracking your buddy down at a trade show (while looking official).
Emergency Broadcast System
With a dash of WWII charm, the L.L.Bean FR-200 AM/FM Shortwave Radio ($40) helps keep you informed without batteries. This portable crank radio includes AM/FM and a worldband tuner. It provides an hour of listening with one minute of cranking, and features an emergency light and rechargeable battery. A great gift for conspiracy theorists or those unhinged by a power outage.

This is a thread stemming from the Alex Ogeltree thread. I don't think the Giants have some magic formula for knowing a players character. We err on the safe side. We stay away from any player with red flags in the first round in the JR/TC era.
So far it's worked out, but good people don't make good players. Good players make good players. Vontaze Burfict wasn't drafted in part because of his character issues (he tends to be a hot head on the field), yet all year long he played like a first round pick. **For those wanting to argue this point- don't. Black Madden has spoken.
Had I scouted LT in college, and if he had failed a drug test in college I would have still drafted LT. All of this talk about character is baloney. DD is a stand up guy as is Webster, yet how many of us want them to be starters next year at their current level of play. Character doesn't make plays and making plays doesn't give you character. I totally understand not drafting a guy because of the risk he poses of being suspended, but that is about wins and losses not about who's a good person and who's a dirtbag. I realize I don't know any of these kids. I just want them to make plays.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by jammertime, Jun 11, 2008.
My FFottball team is garbage. Stupid Autodraft.
Bad news Thee. Your season just got worse. Romo out a month. :(
The news just hit rock bottom. Thee just lost to the Llamas.
Do we need to talk him off the ledge???
If I was gonna jump I would've did it when I lost to Tate. For a good noose does it really need 13 twines ?
This season has not been good to me.
Mine was fine. I can't really complain.
I've been fortunate so far. I've had several key injuries, but the teams that I've played so far have been so bad that I haven't needed them.
Jamm if you're trying to say my team was weak, you're a lie. The refs cheated on me.
I struggle with fantasy football. There are so few games that I can't get a read on who will do well. I like baseball much better. I can see the patterns develop... Anyhow, my football team is collapsing. I've remained relatively healthy. I just suck. But that's OK.
I am very happy with my team despite my poor record. I either can't get everyone to perform well in the same week, or my opponent has a season best score against me. I keep waiting for my luck to turn around but now it might be too late...
Bobby Ingram got you 0 pts. That's your fault.
It sure is!
Both of my QB (Orton and Schaub) got injured yesterday. My season in a nutshell. LOL.
I'm looking to cut a guy so he can have a big game. If I cut Megatron, the Lions could win !!
It looks like Jammertime underestimated his opponent this past week. If I had a nickel for every time a team looked past the Laimbeer's Llamas, I'd be....I'd, um.....I'd have at least five cents....
Don't get too excited Bill. Beating Jammer at fantasy football is kind of like beating your dog in a spelling bee...
Good point, even though it was made by someone 5 positions below Jammer in the standings...
True. But you are one of the few people I am in a high enough position to give advice to. :p
I can't believe I lost! I was in the lead before Monday and had 2 players to your 1 in Monday nights game. Lee Evans threw up a goose egg in the game and Lynch had a huge game.
Separate names with a comma.

Here's the thread, he says what he used and basic info.

2. 870 is a dedicated slug gun with a steady diet of all Brenneke K.O., Heavy Short Field Magnum or Classic Magnum slugs. (Life is good!)
3. The WASR eats whatever is cheap and available. It don't care.
The forearm was a section of exhaust pipe that was carefully mashed

OksewGlad truly enjoyed your farm story and pictures of equipment but no tractor picture; humor us please in what your were driving, so we have a better picture.
Mirabelle, we are here for you. There is a solution if you think outside the box...and make yours different and all yours and I am sure you will think of a solution or post a picture and we will all give our two cents advice.
Dublb, according to House Hunters, buildings can be changed, but location cannot. And if you knock out the part you don't like, then the pros can rebuilt it your way. Sound like you could add on to the house and make it larger, open concept with modern kitchen and island. Figure the remodel cost into the price of the property and keep within the budget. That's my two cents worth of advice to you all. Good luck, and keep the faith.
Thinking of the twins, Anael, and hoping Bram will show improvement quickly and amaze the doctors! Its wonderful how far they have come from their birth...and have grown so much!!
Garden work on a small scale today; 25 sweet Garnett Sweet potato plants, a few Italian Basil and California Wonder Green pepper plants and 7 Beefmaster tomatoes. Curley Parsley too.
You all have a good day and keep smiling. Cannot fit myself into a tub; has to be a hot shower but the old back will not let me stand very long. Joys of living soooo many years!


text: Hi Copycat- not Cathy, but I have the cutting table you are asking about. I bought mine at JoAnn's a few years ago on sale. I really like it. The storage area in the center is very handy. The only thing I've thought about changing is the legs on the ends. I'm trying to talk my oldest son into putting some fold-up legs on the corners to provide more support. I bought the big cutting mat that fits the table since it was also on sale and it has held up well.


text: State to receive long-awaited NCLB relief Statement of MTA President Paul Toner: We applaud the U.S. Department of Education's decision to grant Massachusetts a waiver from No Child Left Behind. NCLB's requirement that all students score "proficient" or higher on the MCAS tests by 2014 is unrealistic and unproductive. More than half of our schools were deemed failing by that standard – including some very highly regarded schools – even though we have the highest performing students in the country. The negative label and one-size-fits-all sanctions for these schools did not promote thoughtful consideration of the best strategies for improvement or for our students. We plan to work closely with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to make sure that the accountability and support systems that replace the NCLB requirements under this waiver advance innovation and excellence, narrow the achievement gaps and promote a love of learning in our schools.See also, NEA media release on waivers.Dr. Kathleen Skinner, director of MTA's Center for Educational Policy & Practice, interviewed on Fox 25, Boston, 2/10/12

Never even considered using a daily moisturizer? This is where you should start. Not sure what your skin type is? Not to worry—this product is formulated to suit the entire gamut. The formula absorbs rapidly and leaves skin feeling hydrated above and below the surface. Put it on every day. Your skin will thank you.
I tried this as an alternative to some other products and found a winner. The Kiehl's goes on easily, I mean the face absorbs it quickly and the moisturizing effect lasts a very long time, I decided to keep one in my gym bag for use after workouts. Good product that works as advertised. It also doesn't require an excessive amount of product to get results. I also love the fact that there is very little fragrance so it doesn't get in the way of colognes.5

Gymkhana Mod II - Update: 02.04.13 - Final Pictures!
Welcome Everyone!
After a little break I am here again and I would like to show you my new project. I was thinking about many ideas but I like sooo my previous project so I choose the continuing of that. So the theme is again the Ken Block car but now its the latest version of the Fiesta, shown on the latest video of him.
The case for the project is the CM Silencio 550 and it provided by Cooler Master to me to mod. As my plans 'says' it will not radically modded on its shape but on its paintwork and the little details. The color-scheme will be black, white and orange.
Codemasters - Cooler Master - DREMEL - Kingston Technology - Lamptron - MSI - PC Gear - Sapphire Technology
I'll be post soon.

Until I don't post new photos about the build I would like to introduce you a modding of a CM Storm Xornet mouse what I did in the month for an hungarian competition. It has the same theme as my previous (and WIP) projects so it fits to this worklog
About the process - I started with rough sanding then did with finer papers so after this a sanding-cleaning massacre I shoot the primer to the mice in two layers.
After 2 hours of drying I used masking vinyls and an airbrush (my 1st airbrush-job) to do the complicated 'exploded-dry-mud like' pattern. First I sprayed the black and white zones then the 'grid' layer was the next, and after all the orange splatter.
I modified the cable with some MDPC orange sleevings. Precisely caring about the details I measured the heatshrink to fit inside of the body of the Xornet. I applied DiNOC Carbon too but I was hesitated about the color - orange or black - but the black was the nicer. After the works I replaced the decal on the bottom of the mouse
Here are the all photos via Picasa.
If you were at the DCMM 2012 you saw my mouse at live because it was on view sorrounded by the other great works of art by the other competitors of the mentioned hungarian Xornet modding contest.

Sadly I was delayed with the building because many reasons. I had an idea to use an aluminum frame to the plexiglas on the sidpanel - this idea inspired by the Battlefield 3 themed Case by Bill Owen.
After the exact measurements I've got some help from my friend to create 3D drawings about the frame then we sent them to CNC Millers, Laser Cutters etc to get prices (I don't have the equipment to create things as easy like these machines do). After a couple of weeks of 'hunting' I ain't got no reply from bunch of them. If they wrote they said no because my little order. If they wrote yes the price was too d@mn high.
So I paused the project a little bit to rest it out, then I had the idea to drop the aluminum and use plexiglass instead of. I find a business in a blink of an eye who can laser-cut the two frames. Yes it is escalated to two different pieces - one for the sidepanel and one for the front. Both of the frames needs more work after the lasercutting but I'll wrote about their process soon.
Day 1: 2012-11-12 / Task: Double fan grille
On the first day I started with the big fangrille for two 120 mm fans. The factory default Silencio 550's front is covered and has lower airflow on its front so I decided to let the interiors breathe - throught the front-door. A big hole isn't enough so one of the plexiglass frames wil go here merged with the fan grille.
The grille was cutted from 0,5 mm steel sheet what used to be a casing of an old PC. Recycling is the best
For the pinpoint accurate cuttings I applied a masking vinyl to aim then after many hours I entertrain myself with the song of my Dremel. The shape is not a simple one so after rough cuts I filed the details with filers through hours and hours.
Day 2: 2012-11-13 / Task: Double fan grille pt.2
Day 3: 2012-11-14 / Task: Double fan grille pt.3
Day 4: 2012-11-16 / Task: Double fan grille pt.4
Success! I didn't ever think about to how many hours will need to create this grille. A few days and around 25 work hours but I think it worth it.
Hope You guys think the same
Day 5: 2012-11-20 / Task: Working on the front plexi-frame
After finishing the fangrille I jump to the frame I wrote before. This will be around the great-hole on the front. To install the way I want I needed to work on it.
The milling needs special bits for my Dremel so I got supported by Dremel with these special bits.
For fixing the multitool I used a vertical stand then with a wooden piece I can move my fram under the miller to get straight lines.
The same day I began to do the airflow hole on the front door so watch the photos for details
Day 6: 2012-11-22 / Task: Working on the front plexi-frame pt.2
I did the finings with filers on the hole to get perfect size to fit the plexi-frame. I drilled the holes for mounting but when I saw my bad - unfortunately I forgot to calculate with the hinges. One of them is in the way so I cut a little area out to get the steel grill to its place. It wasnt enough so I chipped a little piece out of the grille too. PERFECT. Everything fits.
I begin to draw the exact place of the sidepanel frame but it gets too late so the cutting will be on the next day's task.

Day 7: 2012-11-23 / Task: Sidepanel fun
I done the remaining work with the sidepanel. I cutted out the selected area then I tried the frame to its place with HEX bolts to have a look.
These frames will not be this clear - transparent. They will get nice Orange paintwork and the bolts will be blacks.
Im on to get the plexiglass to the sidepanel window but I can't choose - Clear or Darkened...
Oh BTW before the cutting I removed the factory default noise isolating foamy - It will be useful when the time has come.
