My Kingdom
A pair of orphaned Peking Opera stars fight for the honor of their master while becoming caught up in a dangerous conflict with the protégé of his most fearsome rival in this lavish martial arts action drama featuring fight choreography by the legendary Sammo Hung. The Qing Dynasty toppling as the 19th Century draws to a close, desperate Prince Regent calls for the Meng clan to be totally exterminated. As a Beijing crowd gathers to watch the beheading of the Meng leader, his five year old disciple Erkui bravely defies the executioner by singing an aria that moves respected opera legend Master Yu Shengying to rescue the boy from certain death. In the years that follow, Erkui and Master Yu's slightly older orphaned pupil, Guan Yilong, form a powerful bond of brotherhood. Though their fate seems to come full circle when Master Yu subsequently defeats the malevolent Prince Regent in a battle for the coveted "Wu Sheng Tai Dou" ("The Mightiest Warrior") plaque, Yu's skillful nemesis Master Yue Jiangtian soon later defeats Master Yu and stakes his claim on the prize. As a result, master Yu is forbidden to perform on stage from that day forward, and devotes his life to transforming his two young disciples into masters of both the martial arts and Peking Opera. Years later, Yilong and Erkui venture to Shanghai, and reclaim the plaque in a thrilling duel against and ageing Master Yue. Quickly becoming the darlings of the Shanghai opera scene after taking over Master Yue's troupe, the skillful duo finds their revenge may have come at a tragic price upon clashing with Xi Mulan, a striking actress whose loyalty to her mentor and lover Master Yue knows no bounds. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Love, politics, and loyalty threaten to tear apart three soldiers in this lavish historical epic from Hong Kong. In 1870, the power of the corrupt Qing Dynasty has been threatened by the rise of a revolutionary army, led by religious fanatics, and civil war is tearing the nation apart. Pang Qingyun (Jet Li), a good man who finds himself fighting for the Qing leadership, is one of the only survivors of a bloody battle in between revolutionaries and Qing troops, and is looking for someplace to go when he's offered shelter by a beautiful peasant woman, Lian (Xu Jinglei). Pang and Lian spend the night in each others arms, and he finds himself falling in love with her. Pang sets out to make his way home when he's befriended by Zhao Erhu (Andy Lau) and Jiang Wuyang (Takeshi Kaneshiro), a pair of bandits. When Jiang is attacked in an ambush, Pang helps save his life, and the three men become blood brothers in a gory ritual. Pang convinces Jiang and Zhao to join him in the fight against the revolutionaries, and with their help Pang is able to achieve some impressive victories. However, when Pang allows his own ego and dreams of glory to override his common sense and loyalty, Zhao and Jiang come to distrust their ally, and matters become worse when it is revealed that Lian is Zhao's wife. Tou Ming Zhuang (aka The Warlords) was a major box-office success in China and Eastern Asia before making its way to theaters in Europe and the United States. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

James Ivory directed this historical drama of a man who has shut himself away from a world he cannot change. Todd Jackson (Ralph Fiennes) is an American expatriate living in Shanghai in the late '30s. While Jackson was once an American diplomat who came to Shanghai with great optimism about China's future, the bitter political squabbling and military violence that are a part of daily life in China caused him to become bitterly disillusioned. Jackson also lost most of his sight, and he has retreated into Shanghai's decadent underworld of bars and brothels rather than face the world. When a wager on a horse race wins Jackson a small fortune, he decides to indulge a long-time fancy and build the perfect Shanghai bar, one that would ideally reflect that corrupt beauty of the city, and he is joined in his project by Matsuda (Hiroyuki Sanada), a Japanese man with a mysterious past and an appreciation for Shanghai's underbelly. While assembling his pet project, Jackson meets Sofia (Natasha Richardson), a Russian countess who fled her home during the revolution and now lives in Shanghai, supporting her family as a dance-hall girl and occasional prostitute. In Sofia, Jackson discovers a fusion of beauty and tragedy that fascinates him, and he asks her to become the hostess at his new bar. As Jackson becomes closer to Sofia, his cynicism begins to wear away and he develops a deep concern for Sofia and her family. The White Countess also co-stars Vanessa Redgrave, and Lynn Redgrave -- respectively Natasha Richardson's mother and aunt. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Action-adventure director Stanley Tong (Supercop, Rumble in the Bronx) did a change of pace by directing this live-action adaptation of UPA's bumbling, near-sighted Mr. Magoo the animated-series character created during the '40s by John Hubley and others for the cartoon short Ragtime Bear (1949). Millionaire Quincy Magoo (Leslie Nielsen) won't admit he needs glasses, so nephew Waldo (Matt Keeslar) removes obstacles in Magoo's path. At a museum exhibition, when Magoo steps up to cut a ceremonial ribbon but instead severs a power line, it sets in motion events making Magoo the target during an international manhunt -- while he continually escapes mishaps by inches. Greg Burson does the voice of Magoo in animated sequences at the film's beginning and end. During the '50s, the animated character (voiced by Jim Backus) led to two Oscars -- for the jazz-scored Rooty Toot Toot (1952) and the CinemaScope When Magoo Flew (1955). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

An ex-cop trying to stay away from trouble finds it literally crashing into his backyard in this crime thriller. Dave Robicheaux (Alec Baldwin) is a former New Orleans police detective who, after kicking an addiction to alcohol and confronting some serious problems with his partners, has left law enforcement behind to run a bait shop in a small Louisiana bayou town. One day, Dave and his wife Annie (Kelly Lynch) see a small plane plummet from the sky and crash into the swamp; the pilot dies, but Dave is able to rescue a young Hispanic girl from the wreckage. Dave and Annie take the child in, but as they try to find out more about the plane crash and who the little girl might be, they discover that she's actually an illegal alien from Salvador and that the pilot was involved with a local drug ring. Dave, constitutionally unable to let a mystery go unsolved, begins asking enough questions and making enough trouble that he finds himself on the bad side of his old High School friend Bubba Rocque (Eric Roberts). Bubba is a local crime boss who controls the area's drug traffic, keeps a boxing ring in his front yard, and has a wife Claudette (Teri Hatcher) who enjoys greeting her guests naked. Dave's inquiries eventually become too much for Bubba and his henchmen, and in the midst of a violent raid on their home, Annie is killed. Dave becomes obsessed with bringing Bubba and his men to justice and gets some unexpected help from Robin Gaddis (Mary Stuart Masterson), an exotic dancer with a heart of gold. While it was originally scheduled for release in 1994, Heaven's Prisoners didn't arrive on theater screens until two years later, by which time Teri Hatcher had risen to stardom on the TV series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After several weeks filming The Scout in the late 1970s, star Peter Falk and director Howard Zieff abandoned the project. Two decades later, writer Andrew Bergman gave his original script to Albert Brooks and Monica Johnson, who polished it as a vehicle for Brooks and director Michael Ritchie. Brooks stars as Al Percolo, a talent scout for the New York Yankees whose latest recruit (Michael Rapaport) has just vomited on the field and fled. Sent to Mexico as punishment by his boss (Lane Smith), Percolo finds phenomenal young pitcher Steve Nebraska (Brendan Fraser). Before he can get back to the Big Apple, however, Percolo gets pink-slipped by the Yankees, so he offers Nebraska as a free agent. After a stellar tryout, Nebraska is signed for millions. Soon after, he starts to exhibit odd behaviors that may be linked to psychological problems. A psychiatrist (Dianne Wiest) hired by the ball club wants Nebraska in daily therapy, so Percolo ends up babysitting a mentally unstable pitcher. Brooks's normally winning mix of laughs with psychological insights didn't add up to box office or critical success, despite cameos from real-life sports figures such as George Steinbrenner and Steve Garvey. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Madeleine Stowe, Mary Stuart Masterson, Andie MacDowell, and Drew Barrymore are the stars of this Western whose main gimmick is making heroes into heroines. They all start out as prostitutes, as Cody (Stowe) shoots a drunken colonel who attempts to molest Anita (Masterson). She is about to be lynched for defending her friend when the other "bad girls" ride in and rescue her, pursued by detectives. The rest of the film follows their adventures as they get caught up in hostage situations, bank robberies, shootouts, and romantic interludes with handsome young cowboys with never a hair out of place or an unsightly smudge of Western dust. Amazingly, all four former prostitutes are able to ride, shoot, rope, and fight as well. Bad Girls is not likely to be thought of as a realistic view of how women lived in the Old West. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Dangerfield plays Chester Lee, a man so anxious for a promotion that he agrees to coach a girl's soccer team his company is sponsoring. If the team has a winning season, Chester will get his promotion. The only problem is that Chester knows nothing about soccer and the team is incompetent. If Chester doesn't get his raise he won't be able to marry his sweetheart Bess (Illene Graff), so he persuades his son Matthew (Jonathan Brandis), who is an expert soccer player, to don a wig and join the team as one of the girls. With Matthew on the team, they make their way to the championship, but Bess discovers the ruse and forces Chester to chose between her and the job. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Though officially based on Pierre Schoendoerffer's novel L'Adieu au Roi, Farewell to the King also bears echoes of Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim--with a lot of filmmaker John Milius' own Hemingwayesque slant thrown in. During World War II, American POW Learoyd (Nick Nolte) escapes a Japanese firing squad. Hiding himself in the wilds of Borneo, Learoyd is adopted by a head-hunting tribe of Nyak Indians, who consider him "divine" because of his elaborate tattoos. Before long, Learoyd is the reigning king of the Nyaks. When British soldiers approach him to rejoin the war against the Japanese, Learoyd resists (in language so flowery that it could have been written by Sir Walter Scott). But when his own tribe is threatened by the invaders, the "king" deigns to fight for their rights. Farewell to the King is breathtakingly photographed and quite exciting at times. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

(Burt Reynolds) as J.J. McClure takes off across the country again in this rickety sequel to Cannonball Run. A sheik has offered $1,000,000 to the first driver to reach a destination in Connecticut from Redondo Beach, California, inspiring J.J. and others to go for the gold. With cameos from more name performers than any dozen films together, (Frank Sinatra and the rat pack, Telly Savalas, Susan Anton, Shirley MacLaine, Jackie Chan, Sid Caesar, Marilu Henner, Catherine Bach, etc., etc., etc.), the movie becomes a pastiche and is executed as though no rehearsals were required, or ever happened. A disparate group of people racing to get a lot of money was first successfully exploited in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, a much better film, and with just as many cameos, in fact. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This feature-length story about the heist of $10 million in Nazi diamonds primarily rides on star Tom Selleck's popularity as TV's Magnum, P.I., (a 1980s show), since the plot turnarounds, slighted character development, and stock situations are not that engaging on their own. The setting is 1934 and Nick Lassiter (Selleck) has been strong-armed by the Yank and Brit governments into stealing the diamonds from a German agent (Lauren Hutton) -- if he can track the gems to their hiding place. Along the way, he travels through London of the 1930s -- marketplaces, warehouses, and watering holes that lend an atmosphere to his search. His lady love Sara (Jane Seymour) more or less stands around to lend support while the suavely suited-up Lassiter battles a crooked cop (Bob Hoskins), his real arch enemy. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Cowritten by director Sidney J. Furie, The Boys in Company C charts the fortunes of five young Marine recruits. Led by Stan Shaw, the quintet is shipped off to Vietnam. The film makes no bones about the demoralizing effect the war has on its participants, nor the pigheadedness of the military higher-ups who think only in terms of body counts and photo ops. Of the five recruits, the most memorable are Michael Lembeck as Vinnie Fazio, the resident wiseguy (the same type of role played by Lembeck's dad Harvey in 1950s war films) and Andrew Stevens as Billy Ray Pike, a straight-arrow type who succumbs to the lure of drugs; the others are played by Craig Wasson, James Canning, and Scott Hylands. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Abstract: Acoustic target strengths (TSs) of the 2 most common large medusae, Chrysaora hysoscella and Aequorea aequorea, in the northern Benguela (off Namibia) have previously been estimated (at 18, 38 and 120 kHz) from acoustic data collected in conjunction with trawl samples, using the 'comparison method'. These TS values may have been biased because the method took no account of acoustic backscatter from mesozooplankton. Here we report our efforts to improve upon these estimates, and to determine TS additionally at 200 kHz, by conducting additional sampling for mesozooplankton and fish larvae, and accounting for their likely contribution to the total backscatter. Published sound scattering models were used to predict the acoustic backscatter due to the observed numerical densities of mesozooplankton and fish larvae (solving the forward problem). Mean volume backscattering due to jellyfish alone was then inferred by subtracting the model-predicted values from the observed water-column total associated with jellyfish net samples. Zooplankton-corrected echo intensity/jellyfish density data pairs were in close agreement with linear relationships determined previously from uncorrected data. Small sample sizes precluded recalculation of TS, but nonparametric pair-wise tests failed to detect any significant differences between echo intensities for jellyfish densities observed in the present study and echo intensities predicted for those densities by density–intensity relationships arising from the previous study. Previous linear density–intensity relationships had y-axis intercepts greater than zero. On the assumption that the positive intercepts were due to backscatter from unsampled mesozooplankton, new TS relationships were calculated from downward-adjusted density–intensity relationships. New values agreed closely with TS estimates determined elsewhere using single-target echo detection techniques. Given that estimates of jellyfish TS appear robust, it should now be feasible to identify jellyfish acoustically at sea and to assess their abundance, even in the presence of mixed mesozooplankton assemblages.

Abstract: Carnivorous zooplankton in the Benguela system have tended to be ignored by all but early taxonomists and a handful of recent researchers. An attempt is made here to address the importance of carnivores in this system but, because the database is poor, it was necessary to apply material from outside the region. The taxa covered include ctenophores, cnidarians (Scyphozoa and Hydrozoa, including Siphonophora), chaetognaths and hyperiid amphipods as well as such minor groups as pelagic gastropods and decapods. Most groups of carnivores within the Benguela are represented by only one or two "common" species. These tend to be epiplanktonic and generally concentrated inshore of the shelf-break, where their distributions are influenced by changes in local hydrography. Their densities frequently exceed those of herbivores. The dominant carnivores share a number of attributes: wide-ranging diets, high assimilation and growth efficiencies and mostly a Type I functional response to food concentration. They fall into two categories. The first is the gelatinous species, which have short lifespans and exhibit rapid growth and often massive reproductive response to high concentrations of food. They are patchily distributed and some appear to have behavioural traits that enable them to stay within localized patches of prey on which they may be dependent because of high metabolic costs. In the second category are crustacean predators and chaetognaths which have slower response times to the food environment but may have longer lifespans, lower daily maintenance needs and an ability to store lipids. They are less dependent on high densities of food organisms and can survive throughout winter, when gelatinous predators are rare. The effect of predation on abundance of copepods is estimated on the basis of both published and unpublished data. Should swarms of predators coincide with a critical gateway of zooplankton or larvae, then there may be total depletion. This applies especially to the nearshore zone of the West Coast and to semi-enclosed bays. The role of carnivorous zooplankton in the diets of commercially important fish species is stressed, but their importance in the regeneration of nutrients may be insignificant.

Čistota téměř bez výhrad (pouze dveře vstupní i koupelnové by snesly častější omytí). Recepce 24hodin denně, všichni recepční milí, sami nabídnou možnost nechat si zavazadla před odletem u nich na jakkoli dlouho, check-out až ve 12 hodin. Pokoje malé, ale přesně stačí na vyspání. Poloha hotelu skvělá - od metra 2 minuty chůze, 5 minut chůze do Luxemburských zahrad a k RER na letiště. Byli jsme velmi spokojeni a určitě se vrátíme.

Reception staff were friendly and always willing to help with any queries. Room was cleaned every day with clean bathroom. Our room was under renovation during our stay but it did not really affect us as we were out all day. Good location as the underground station was only meters away from the hotel.

"Close to Opera / Trinite: clean, quiet, affordable"
Hotel Brittany is located next to the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church (metro stop NDdL on line 12). It's a 10 minute stride from Lafeyette and 5 minutes from Trinite. The hotel rooms are small but well laid out. The reasons I recommend it: - bathrooms have been updated recently (nice tiling, wide basins, new showerheads and cabins) and they are relatively […] large compared to usual Paris hotels. - beds are comfy. - wifi is free, strong connection. - TV includes some English channels and you can use the Options button on the remote to switch TV shows to English ("qaa" under Audio). - the breakfast is simple yet filling. 12 EUR per person. The Columbus café on rue Chateaudun is 2 blocks away and offers fresh croissants and coffee for a reasonable price too (below 5 EUR). - the staff speak English and are very friendly.

"Rude, Unhelpful Frontdesk"
Our experience turned negative before we even arrived in Paris as a result of unexpected charges to our credit card. When we called for an explanation, the front desk showed no concern and basically told us "go somewhere else if you don't like it." After arrival, we were sweating in our air conditioned room. The front desk did nothing to fix our ac, […] except offering a small fan. We could have overlooked the small rooms, climbing six flights when the elevator was being worked on, and faulty ac if the front desk had shown any genuine concern or even a semblance of customer service. We will not return to Hotel Brittany. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia

Well located hotel approx 20 minutes walking South of Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. Gare Du Nord is also about 20 minutes away.

There are plenty of bars and cafes within a mile radius and the shopping area of Boulevard Hausmann are within easy reach […] including Galeries Lafayette.

"Very Nice!"
We spent five nights at Hotel Brittany because it was close to friends of ours in Paris. It is very reasonably priced for what you will get. Here is what you will get. A very nice, not spacious, very clean, updated, room to have a good nights sleep in. The air conditioner works much better than most European units. We have experienced many, in many […] countries. The A/C here does all you need it to do and we prefer a cold bedroom. So for us that was a lot. The neighborhood seemed very safe. As we were often visiting our friends until late or coming in from the theater and a late dinner, we returned to our room well after midnight on several occasions, (walking), and never had or sensed a problem. The hotel is very secure because you leave your key as you leave. If you return late you will be buzzed in promptly by the night clerk. This means that only guests can enter the hotel making it a safe place. Shower and taps had GREAT water pressure. The staff was very pleasant and spoke enough English to be able to help us with any of our needs. It is located close to all public transportation. There was a very nice little dining room where breakfast was served every morning. We didn't utilize that amenity but I'm sure it was good.

hotel was locked midnight until 7am and twice when we came back after midnight, we had to wait at least 15 minutes before guy came to unlock door.

"Och aye tha noo!"
We didn't quite get the Scottish Highlands theme but nonetheless the Hotel Brittany was a cracking find and perfectly suited our long-weekend away to a tee. The place is comfortable, spotlessly clean, the staff attentive and ever-helpful, and it's ideally located for getting around central Paris, either by foot or on the metro. The only downsides were […] the pillows, which had seen better days (or should that be nights!) and, being at the back of the building, our room had no view to speak of and was a little dark. Breakfast was more than up to the task of setting you up for the day ahead and for dinner, treat yourself to the superb and renowned 'La Table des Anges' which is only a two minute hike up the Rue des Martyrs.

The location of the hotel was realy good. It is a short walk to the Opera, which is near the Office that sells the Open tour tickets. Just 2 streets away from the hotel are the best pastry shops, fruit shops and the most amazing pizza shop in Paris, just turn right outside the hotel, cross the street and take the second street on the left. The hotel […] does not provide tea or coffee in the room, you can get mugs of boiling water to make your own.The carpet is stained and worn. The staff are pleasant.

"Everything was great.. except the bed"
Location was great. Like most small , eclectic hotels in big cities the rooms were smallish, basic but did have a decent sized updated bathroom. Exactly what one expects. The only bad thing wasthat the bed was pretty bad. If you can sleep anywhere or just need somewhere to pass out after a day/night of drinking then it is fine. Bed felt like very sturdy […] cardboard on top of springs. Of the 8 place we stayed in our tour around europe it was the 2nd worst bed. Did have a nice little bar. Did not eat there.

that we mix the alnico Blue and a G12H in. Mixing ceramic and alnico speakers helps fill out the bottom end and other parts of the spectrum that the Blue doesn't have as much of.
A lot of players—even those who've played for a considerably long time— haven't given much consideration to the affect of cabinet construction, either. It's not something players always think about, but it really does have quite an influence on the sound. Actually, part of why we moved from California in '05 to our current shop in North Carolina was to be closer to our cabinet supplier, Mojo, which we switched to at the time. What they're doing that the folks in California weren't is finger-joint corners, which makes a stronger box and allows you to do a single baffle in front, as opposed to two pieces that are double thickness. Two pieces can stifle it a bit more, and with the single, you're making it more exactly how real Vox and some of the Marshall stuff was actually made. This did make a difference in how those old magical amps sounded. Even the wood and thickness of wood used for the baffle does, too. For instance 3/4" birch plywood makes it crazy heavy and more dead than 5/8", which is still dead but at least has some life left in it because it's not so thick. That super-dead kind of baffle is good for a hi-fi [stereo speaker] cabinet, but not as much for guitar. Tweed amps were the epitome of a real thin baffle, where it woofs and breathes because of the softer pine wood—which I experimented with, too, but ultimately went in favor of birch. But everything has a different sound.
Most guitarists can relate to the pro-cess of hearing a sound in their headand then searching for a vehicle tobring it to fruition. How does that pro-cess works for you when you're design-ing amps?Well, I can tell you that sometimes whatyou think would be the holy grail doesn'tturn out to be the holy grail, and youfind out why nobody ever did it before[laughs]—although on paper it may seemlike a great idea. Another thing I alwayssay is that there's inevitably one presidingpersonality at any company, and everybodyhas their fortes and their weaknesses. Someguys are much more technically basedengineers, and some are players more thanothers. Different companies have differ-ent kinds of people, and that's going toaffect the kind of amp you build. Everynut behind the wheel is slightly different.I think I had good ear training in my earlydays of being a hi-fi guy—I tuned my earsthat way and by playing in orchestra andjazz band, in addition to the classic-rockstuff. That tends to give you a more diver-sified sonic portfolio than being bent toofar this way or that way.
So how do you merge the more technical stuff with the more artsy approach you get as a musician with good ears?
There are a lot of hats you have to wear, and a lot of the guys are good at some of the hats but not at the others. Some guys make decisions based on a scope rather than their hands and their ears. There are all kinds of personalities with different opinions about good distortion versus bad distortion or how you figure that out when you compare different types of capacitors that are all the same value but different mediums that sound different. Or how different output transformers breathe—there's another whole world right there, depending on whether they're normal, oversized, or undersized.
As far as the art and experience of knowing, amongst real vintage amps, what they were good for and what their shortcomings were, it pays to know the difference between which ones were good and which ones were bad. Take Marshalls, for example: Some Marshall-copy companies do umpteen different styles. But, to me, you can tell whether they know what the good ones were in their choices—do they make a ' 67 100-watt, or a ' 68, or a ' 69? I know which ones are the standouts as the holy grails. All these choices inform the art. And when you're trying to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative, being a player and being able to feel the response in your hands rather than just what an engineer might see on the scope lends itself to different choices than a purely technical builder may make.

Resolving DNS service
"Resolving DNS" is the type of DNS service usually referred to when an internet provider talks to their customers about their "DNS servers". It is a different type of DNS service to "content DNS". You can read the difference between content and resolving DNS services on our how DNS works page.
DNS is the internet service that translates internet server names to numbers, and nearly every computer on the internet needs to know how to do this to function correctly. Although you can set your virtual machine to run its own resolving DNS server, this is probably not necessary. You can tell 99% of Linux applications which DNS servers to use by editing the file /etc/resolv.conf
. By default we set machines up to use our own DNS servers which are located at these IP addresses:
So your /etc/resolv.conf
should look like this:
To test your resolving DNS service you should use the dig tool to ask for a name to be looked up with your system's default DNS service, i.e.
# normal "A" record lookup dig www.manchester.ac.uk # "MX" record lookup for mail delivery dig mx manchester.ac.uk # "NS" record; who's authoratitive for this domain? dig ns bytemark.co.uk
If dig is timing out or taking too long, you can send a DNS query directly to a particular server to check that it is working. This ignores your system's currently configured DNS settings:
# test Bytemark's name server dig ns bytemark.co.uk @184.108.40.206 # test Manchester University's name server dig ns bytemark.co.uk @220.127.116.11

By Darcy Gray - The Hutchinson News - email@example.com
A defense attorney for a 33-year-old man charged with killing a Hutchinson woman told prospective jurors Tuesday that his client was innocent and only learned about the case through others.A trial for Charles Christopher Logsdon, who is charged with first-degree murder in the June 2011 shooting death of 27-year-old Jennifer Heckel, began Tuesday morning with jury selection.
Logsdon's attorney, Jim Pratt, of Wichita, told the pool of potential jurors that Logsdon "did not commit these horrible crimes" and "was not there" when Heckel was killed.
Everything Logsdon knows about the case, he learned from people on the streets, Pratt said, drawing a quick objection from Senior Assistant District Attorney Stephen Maxwell. Maxwell said the defense could lay out its case during opening statements and not during jury selection. District Judge Trish Rose moved Pratt along by reminding him his time Tuesday was for questioning prospective jurors.
Nearly a quarter of the prospective jurors who arrived Tuesday for the Reno County trial were excused.
During a brief juror orientation, Judge Rose explained that the goal of "voir dire" - from a French phrase meaning "to speak the truth" - was attorneys asking questions in an effort to obtain a fair and impartial jury in the case. She said the trial is expected to last three to four weeks.
District Attorney Keith Schroeder, however, told the first jurors questioned Tuesday in the jury box that the case could last four to six weeks.
"It could go all the way to Thanksgiving," he said.
The judge explained the trial would recess for three days over the Thanksgiving holiday if the case does last that long.
Over an expected two days of jury selection, attorneys will select 16 jurors, including four alternates. Opening statements and testimony are expected to start Thursday, Rose said.
A pool of about 260 jurors filled out nine-page questionnaires last week, and on Monday, attorneys excused 76 people from the list after reviewing their responses, according to Rose.
Nearly 20 people were excused Tuesday, including about 10 within the first hour of jury selection. Most of those excused indicated the length of the trial would be an extreme hardship for them, including a Hutchinson company's chief financial officer and a man concerned about his son's surgery.
"Pretty much all of you have heard about (the case)," Maxwell said after telling prospective jurors he reviewed the questionnaires.
Both Maxwell and Schroeder asked if there was anyone who was unable to set aside what they knew about the case - whether through media reports or word of mouth - and rely only on evidence presented at trial. Only one person indicated he could not be unbiased because of what he already knew, and he was excused.
Prosecutors also said they expected there would be more than 100 witnesses and more than 100 exhibits offered during the trial, something Maxwell called "extraordinarily unusual." Logsdon's trial is one of the few cases where, due to its length, the judge is allowing jurors to take notes, which will be locked in a safe during recesses.
Heckel was found dead the evening of June 14, 2011, at her north Hutchinson home, where she was shot in the back and in the head, with a third bullet grazing her body. Her 5-year-old son was home at the time, and he alerted neighbors, who called police.
Prosecutors have described Heckel's death as a case of mistaken identity, alleging Logsdon and 49-year-old Billy Joe Craig Jr. were targeting 25-year-old local drug dealer Kayla Rodriguez but instead killed Heckel when they entered the wrong home.
"This is really a horrible case," Pratt said Tuesday as he questioned the jury pool. "It is a murder case. ... A mother was killed."
He asked if anyone's sympathy would cloud their judgment. Two people responded by saying that although they wanted justice for the family, they did not think any sympathy would prevent them from being impartial jurors.
Pratt also questioned prospective jurors about their thoughts on "witnesses asking for personal benefits" in exchange for offering what they knew about the case, and several people indicated they would question the motives of witnesses if they did receive some sort of personal benefit.
Both Logsdon and Craig pleaded innocent March 9 to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder or aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and criminal possession of a firearm. Logsdon is also charged with aggravated intimidation of a witness. Craig is scheduled to stand trial Jan. 28.
Logsdon, who appeared Tuesday in court in a blue dress shirt, tie and dark slacks, remains jailed on a $500,000 bond in the homicide case.
Schroeder, Maxwell and Deputy District Attorney Tom Stanton are prosecuting the case against Logsdon, who is represented by Pratt and Michael Brown of Mulvane.

RHINELANDER, Wis. (AP) — Investigators are looking into the cause of a fatal house fire in Rhinelander.
Fire officials say a man died in the fire Wednesday, but a woman was able to escape. Witnesses told WJFW-TV she is the victim's wife.
Authorities say she was already outside of the residence when firefighters arrived. She was transported to the hospital as firefighters focused on trying to find the man as the fire raged.
The state fire marshal has been contacted.

Posted: Jan 24, 2013 6:38 PM by Nikki Ibarra
Updated: Jan 25, 2013 10:18 AM
The Pentagon's announcement on Thursday has local women, who currently serve in the military, talking about what the move means for them and future recruits.
Staff Sergeant Juani Rocha Martinez told KSBY's Nikki Ibarra this is a huge step. Although Staff Sergeant Rocha Martinez has no interest in going into combat, she said, she respects those soldiers who want to go into combat.
Women in the military make up about 14% of the 1.4 million people active in the military.
Staff Sergeant Rocha Martinez enlisted in the army when she was 17 years-old and it was to get an education and to serve her adopted country.
Staff Sergeant Rocha Martinez told KSBY if a woman is capable to serve in combat, then she should go for it. "They're going to be excited about it. They're going to want to do it. They're going to go for it and try it. I mean, now that you have the opportunity to try," stated Staff Sergeant Rocha Martinez.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the requirements to be a combat soldier will not change, but everyone should get a chance.
The majority of women in the military serve as medics, military police and intelligence officers.

Maybe I missed it but I didn't really hear anything from Stann that showed a real bias towards Davis?
Vera does the same shit on facebook. The guy posts lots of shit about "dey terk our guns" and alex jones rants. i made fun of his views on guns on his fb page and he threw back childish insults rather than explain how i am wrong. he does the same thing regularly to others. it's entertaining but this isn't his first time doing spewing vulgarities at fans.
I always find it hilarious when these martial artists lack discipline in most aspects beyond training.
The truly successful MMArtists are the ones who can control their mind.
This is a reason why I have always thought someone with Guillard does not have the ability to become and stay champion. Guillard's weakness is his inability to put aside impulsiveness, which is exploitative.
Vera is the same way. Poor guy gets cranky when he's off his daily dose of ice cream.
1. The fan won twitter war
2. Why does Vera still have a job? He has ONE win in his last 5 fights and Big Ben fucks Vera uo in the next fight too.
3. His last real named win was at UFC 65 when he caught Mir slippin.
Guillard will never be a champion because he is just not that good. Don't get me wrong, he isn't a bum, but people act like if he was more mature and got his shit together he would be a world beater.. the truth is he is clumped in with the other 95% of fighters that can't hang with the top of the top.
Paul Daley of LW without some of the stupidity.
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
Damn that. Vera is still an entertaining fighter. His fight with Shogun was a big eye opener for many.
I really hate when a fan talks shit and then gets offended by the lash back.
If they can dish it they should be able to take it and leave it at that. No one needs to go to the principle's office unless MMA just suddenly went PG-13.

Best Fighter on the planet.
Vera is proving that he is more a fighter than a martial artist.

NEW ORLEANS — A Secret Service dog fell to its death in New Orleans this past weekend while performing a security sweep of a six-story parking garage next to the Ritz-Carlton, where Vice President Joe Biden was speaking.
The dog, a bomb-sniffing Belgian Malinois, was working in the Premier Parking garage on Iberville Street near the French Quarter hotel when it fell off the roof on Saturday night, New Orleans police said.
Federal agents rushed the black and brown shepherd to Metairie Small Animal Hospital, but veterinarians were unable to revive it, WWL-TV reported.
New Orleans police could not immediately supply a copy of the police report detailing the incident yesterday, and declined to comment.
Secret Service spokesman Max Milien told the Los Angeles Times that the death was a "tragic accident."
