Whether he is a player or a great guy, some men have a way of screening women to qualify her, so to speak. From the moment they spot her the initial screening test begins. He is really curious about her and wants to know what she is about and what caliber of woman she is.
The information they gather through their random tests help them determine different things about the woman. Things such as her desperation level, her patience, her perception, her inhabitations, even her "sanity".
Now, I am not knocking the men for their pre-relationship/marriage screening tests. I believe that there are just some things men need to be sure about before they give up their bachelor lifestyle and freedom. I have experienced a few male tests in my dating career. Some I failed miserably, and some I passed.
Ladies, chime in with any dating tests you have administered or experienced on/with men. Guys, tell us about the tests that women have put you through.
How do you know when your "dating performance" is being rated?
Do you think these dating tests are helpful or harmful? What mistakes do men and women make with date tests?
One challenge in the dating scene is getting useful feedback. If there are areas of improvement, how do we convey this to one another? Should we even try to give feedback?
How many of us are conducting date/mate tests right now?

I think you mean "inhibitions" in your first paragraph. Inhabitation, although it is recognized as a form of the verb "inhabit," is awkward and probably rarely used.

Ironically I had a built in test my entire adult dating career…my boys. That there was the test. All I had to say was I have a kid, or two, and that alone was the screening process.
While the fact was just unavoidable I did throw it out there a time or two or three just to see the reaction.
Also with my kid(s) as the test, the was one in particular that I remember that I conveniently needed to pick up something for my son while on a date. One guy failed that test. There was another time where I had to get something for my son and it could not be avoided. The man at the time passed that test brilliantly.
The screening process is necessary but I think it should only be deliberately done when it comes to things that really matter and are important. That would rule out childish games.

@Swiss..I am not sure what link you were sending me the other day..but if it is the one of the couple dancing down the aisle to Chris Brown's Forever…I LOVE IT!!!! I am not big on marriage but if a dude will dance(must like dancing) then we can talk. That is the best wedding entrance ever.

Good Morning:
Well I guess it is the "Professor" in me that realize that "testing" is only one of several assessments used. Instead of "testing" people I prefer different to use other techniques. IMO testing can sometimes come across as a silly little dating game, but my other techniques are a little subtler and the outcomes are more accurate.
Have a happy hump day.
Melo, how are ya?

The thing about my dating career was, although my kid(s) would not be a part of my dating life, they were a part of me. Most guys never got the chance to meet my kids, but there were times where my kid's needs was more important than anything that I would or could have been doing at the time. For me guys had to understand that I had to tend to my kids when the need arose.
Their wants for no good reason could easily be ignored or put off, kids will be kids, but their needs had to be dealt with.

I forgot to add that I am usually a little annoyed when a grown man feels like testing me. My thing is just ask me an in-depth behavior based question and I will answer it, but please don't try a silly little test on me to see how I will do. I am not into games, hypnotically based situations etc., instead I like to deal with things head on and discuss them like adults.

There is a thin line between screening and just playing foolish games.

I think one of the most popular tests that were laid out before me was the inexpensive date test. It got quite obvious. It was like he would pull up to a place and try to watch the expression of my face to see how I would react. Well what most guys didn't know about me is one of my favorite places to eat is the Waffle House. For some that is about as low as you can get taking a woman out. It's not as low as man would like to think. Waffles are one of my favorite foods so even if the date was a lame dud I still got something that I liked.
July 29th, 2009

There are all kinds screening processes in dating.
As I already mentioned the value date is one. Then there is the friends and family test for the more seasoned dates…how well do you get along with you own friends and family and then mine. Then you have the adaptability dates…dates to see how well you adapt in unfamiliar situations and activities. The sportsmanship dates. The creativity dates.
There are many more but right now I have a change-a-diaper date…

One of the best assessments to use is observation, and I mean natural observation not trying to set up a certain environment to see how a person will respond, but letting nature takes its course. If you are on the phone just listen to what the person is telling you. If you are in person just observe how that person treats you and others around you. I have had men boast about their material possessions, but was unable to even show me a key to the car less more the car itself. Also I like a guy that can remember the small things it shows a bit of compassion to me. Example breakfast is my favorite meal and a guy remembers that…good sign. I do not eat beef or pork, but every date we are heading to the steakhouse…not a good look.
For me observation in the natural setting is key. Also I like for guys to hold me to that same standard and not create some test or quiz, but observe me in my natural environment.

Good morning good people!
Yes, I hate tests or screenings when it's glaringly obvious I'm being tested! In fact, that right there might get you dismissed from me. It's too calculated & manipulative. At least be a little subtle, have a little style! I'm a private person and slow to give my heart, but let's just date & get to know each other and let everything take it's course naturally. Don't have time for games!
I had been dating this guy about a month and a half once. We were both taking a nap & then he went out to grab some food, leaving me alone in his apartment. What I didn't know was that he had set little traps all over, like putting a little piece of clear tape on some of his drawers so if I opened them the seal would break. I did not move from the spot I was in when he left, just layed there in and out of sleep, watching tv. He was shocked when he came back & nothing was touched! He told me what he had done. I told him I was raised not to go through other people's things and anyway I had no interest, was not "looking" for anything concerning him! He said I had behaved differently than all of the other women he had dated! I told him in my case he had definitely upgraded then!
July 29th, 2009
10:32 am
I'm not a tester. I am a listener and an observer. Even so, there are certain qualities and factors that must be in place before I ever care to begin paying attention to what you say and do.
So, yeah, I'm paying attention to Mine right now.
July 29th, 2009

Uh-huh…and amen to that Professor
To me it is more like I am being scrutinized by a subjective standard of assessment…that is one reason the dating scene in the ATL turned me off years ago…like 1986…I do not like being put up on to "see" how I will act or react…it is just games and noise…I truly prefer open, engaging conversation about whatever a person wants to know and is willing to discuss.

It's not really a test, but I always watch how a woman responds when the bill comes. If she doesn't offer to contribute towards whatever we do, I take note.
Money is tight for everyone in this economy, and I think the courteous thing to do is at least offer to contribute. To me, it shows that she's a team player.
July 29th, 2009

M' – I agree, let's just TALK! I'm not a lab rat! The dating scene turned me off too, lady. I just dropped totally out of it a few years after college. I met people thru family & friends, hobbies or out & about, like meeting my current SO at Publix!

@SexyCool..I didnt cry..I felt like dancing..they looked like a fun couple, who truly enjoyed each other and they had fun friends..I like that. Plus, it was totally non-traditional–even better. I am going to download the song from i-tunes too…damn the haters that is a cute song with nice lyrics. Chris Brown should send them something nice.

Kym – I was dancing too until the bride danced in. Seeing her joy did me in. You know how the ol' folk say in church – I just got full.
July 29th, 2009
10:53 am
i don't have "tests" per se. there are just a few situations that happen when dating that i keep an eye on, namely how you travel, how you handle money, and how you treat service folks (waitstaff at restaurants, cashiers, etc.).
much like kimmie, if i see that a dude is trying to test me or figure me out, i get annoyed. and the fact that you feel the need to test me or any woman lets me know that your low-expectation having a** has more issues than national geographic. you have just proven that you mistrustful, damaged, and possibly guilty of that for which you testing.
hrm, so maybe that's my test.
July 29th, 2009
10:59 am
@Swiss do it anyway.. Forever, Forever, Me you on the dance floor…
On Topic..Please don't test me..I hate that stuff we too old for that crap. I am not going to test you. Just spend time with the person and really get to know them..you are not going to like everything about that person and they are not going to like everything about you. Compromise, common ground, look for those things and investment in that.
@kimmie I think that is a hoot. I don't snoop in other folks stuff cause I don't want you looking in mine. Who knows what you might find. But I think some guys have become so freaking gun shy that lump everyone in the same catagory.
July 29th, 2009
11:04 am
Hey Err'body!!
Okay Swiss could you post that link cause I want to see what everyone is gushing about.
SCool – I too like to just listen and observe, Im not for tests per se but I do look for certain things

Morning All -
I am anti test. Folks who need to purposely set up situations to "test" someone need a better screening process. Time and life with give you situations that will show you what a person is made of without you having to manufacture stuff.
I think folks test, because they want to cut corners. You want to get laid as fast as possible, so you don't take time to really pay attention or get to know someone.
I don't test people. I take my time and if that moves "too slow" for some then get gone then.

Ugh. That would probably be my last date with that guy! If he felt the need to to all that, don't have me over and leave. Trust should come into play at some point without having to set traps!!!

I don't snoop in other folks stuff cause I don't want you looking in mine.
Kym – Okay! You don't go in NOTHING of mine unless you ASK! My mom drummed that in our heads so much that, after she passed away and I had to deal with her things, I felt SO scared clearing out her closets & purses & drawers! I had to laugh and say she taught me well!
Amred – Luckily he had other redeeming qualities that made him a keeper, we were both young. In fact, almost married him, that was my Cali man from San Diego that was here going to grad school. I think he was paranoid from others he had dated. He soon learned stuff like that was just not necessary with me.
July 29th, 2009
11:27 am
I think he was paranoid from others he had dated.
kimmie – Apparently so! He should have figured out a better way to follow the signs without having to set up boobie traps.
He's gonna test the wrong one one of these days!
July 29th, 2009
11:30 am
Amred – Well, he's married to someone else now, so that's HER problem, so not mine anymore! But yeah, he could have gone about it better and believe me I gave him a hard time about it!

Dang, that video has over 11 MILLION hits. And you know everyone is gonna copy that going forward.
I would do something like that for my reception entrance. One of my friends came into "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce during her reception. I would have never thought to use such a song, but it really worked and got the crowd hyped.

Just getting back to the keyboard…saw your post…I think that the way you met your SO is more in line with what allows for a natural flow…you were doing a regular activity…and met another regular person doing so…works for…now, if I can just figure out how to work in a regular interaction with that fine firefighter who checked my BP yesterday when it hit 176/110…hmmm, but the dr. at N'side said that since my BP is erratic and not consistently high that I need to keep a daily journal…lol…so I guess that means I will be at Station 29 on a regular basis…lol…I ain't right…but dang he is fine.

My big one is how a woman talks to others that she doen't have to be nice to, i.e. store clerks, servers, etc. If she doesn't have a heart, then all the looks in the world still just make her a piece of plastic. IMHO.

M'- LOL!! You sound like me after my accident with the tractor trailer! From the firemen/paramedics to the emergency room doctor, I have never seen so many fine AA men in my life! And they were MANLY men! Thought I might have died & gone to heaven! Go on and get that man, girl, I have seen so many fine firefighters!
July 29th, 2009
12:58 pm
That is an important aspect of character assessment that I value very highly too…I had an acquaintance who was like that, she always spoke in demeaning and belittling ways to store clerks, servers…actual anyone who provided her with services…it drove me up a wall…as I have also done that type of work at various times in my life…the holier than thou noise.

"Bright medium ruby. Black fruits, violet, graphite and wild spices on the nose. Sweet and lush, with concentrated flavors of crushed dark berries and spices; a whiff of menthol adds freshness. The long finish features sweet, broad, tongue-coating tannins and a suggestion of sour candy. This was a bit awkward from barrel a year ago but has turned out very well.

by ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis
"The Sunday Political Brunch" -- January 6, 2013
Rhode Island) – So one year ends
in chaos; and another begins as a total mess in the world politics. This stuff
keeps political analysts like me in business. So, on to 2013!
"Sausage, Please!" – Famed German politician Otto von
Bismarck is often quoted as saying, "No one should see how laws or sausages are
made." Nowhere was that more true this week than in the halls of Congress where
separate bills to solve the fiscal cliff and another to address Hurricane Sandy
relief became tied in knots. It was ugly, and there will be fallout for quite
some time. But, both did get done despite looking a like a train wreck when it
was all over.
"Circular Firing Squad" – Some of the most caustic quotes of
the week came from Republicans attacking fellow Republicans. When the House
recessed Tuesday morning without passing the $60 billion dollar Sandy aid package, Republican New Jersey Governor Chris
Christie was furious. "There is only one group to blame for the continued
suffering of these innocent victims," Christie said Wednesday. "The House
majority and their speaker, John Boehner." Christie also blamed what he called,
"toxic internal politics" in the House majority. He wasn't alone. Rep. Peter
King (R-NY) was furious Wednesday morning after the bill was tabled. "I'm
saying that anyone from New York or New Jersey who
contributes one penny to the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee should
have their head examined," said King. "I would not give one penny to
these people based on what they did to us last night." Ouch! The new
Congress passed the bill on Friday, but the wounds may take a long time to
"Candid Camera" - Governor Chris Christie's candor is
probably his biggest asset, but it could also be his biggest liability. One
political writer this week called Christie the "presumptive nominee" of the GOP
in 2016 (which is an erroneous overstatement). His combative charm polls well
in his native New Jersey,
but it will be hard to amass the kind of broad appeal nationally if he hopes to
be a unifying force in his party. At some point – in what is likely to be a
very competitive primary – Christie will need to find a way to effectively
unload on the Democrats. He also has a 2013 reelection campaign for governor to
get through first.
"Presumptive Nominee? – As I mentioned, one writer called
Christie the "presumptive nominee" this week, which is wrong. A presumptive
nominee is a person who has amassed enough delegates to win the nomination, but
has yet to be formally nominated at the party's convention. For example, on
July 1, 2012, Mitt Romney was only the presumptive GOP nominee, subject to a
vote of delegates at the August convention. The distinction is important,
because Christie will have a long and difficult journey in 2016. Possible
challengers include Jeb Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Paul Ryan, and Marco Rubio.
Christie may be the frontrunner in some polls, but that's a far cry from being
the nominee-in-waiting. He also needs to watch what happens to fellow
Republican Chuck Hagel later this week.
"Haggling for Hagel"- This week President Obama will
nominate former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska to be Secretary of Defense. There
is no guarantee he will be approved by the Senate. That's because Hagel – a
decorated Vietnam War hero - was an outspoken critic of President George W.
Bush and the Iraq War. It's payback time, at least among several fellow
Republicans, who felt Hagel was too disloyal to his fellow Republican, Bush.
People have long memories in Washington,
DC. So, we will have the odd
scenario of Republicans backing Democratic Senator John Kerry to be Secretary
of State, while Democrats may give former Republican Senator Hagel the votes he
needs to be Secretary of Defense. Yes, they are making sausage again this month
on Capitol Hill!
"In or Out? In or Out!" – He was retired for just one day, but now former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) wants back in Congress. Frank would like to be appointed Senator, temporarily, until a special election can be held to replace John Kerry after he becomes Secretary of State. Frank has already asked Governor Deval Patrick for the appointment, but has promised not to actually run for the office. Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) is likely to be the Democratic nominee, and former Senator Scott Brown will likely be the Republican nominee. Since the special election probably won't be held until June, it's possible we could have Senator Barney Frank (D-MA) for several months. You can't make this stuff up!

The Bellevue Youth Soccer Club Girls U-16 Select Team coached by Chad Mack wins the WYS Founders Cup with an impressive 3-1 win over the FME Fusion.
Congratulations to the Bellevue Select Girls U16 Ravens who defeated the Fife Milton Edgewood (FME) Fusion 3-1 to hoist the U16/GU17 Washington State Youth Soccer Founders Cup Championship trophy on Thursday, February 20th. Goals from Olivia Mack, Peggy Ferguson and Ellie Moran and 2 assists from Ashlyn Lutz sealed the team's first state cup title. Originally the Founders Cup championship match was scheduled to play at Starfire Stadium on Sunday, Feb 9th, but the season's first snow forced a reschedule and a 2-week wait for the Ravens to play the championship match on FME Fusion's home pitch in Milton, WA. Coached by Chad Mack, the Raven's team is in their 4th season - past accomplishments include the Crossfire Select Silver Cup in 2011 and the North Puget Sound GU16 Division 2 Title in 2012.

Wednesday practice update; Wild trims roster to 41Posted on September 16th, 2009 – 11:58 AM
By Michael Russo
Wild was at 55. Minus 15 equals 40. Plus Petr Sykora equals 41. Cody Almond's hurt, so it's really 40, but who's counting?
Good news. Petr Sykora can still shoot. I annoint him on the team.
The following players were assigned to training camp for the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League (AHL): G Barry Brust, LW Brandon Buck, LW Jon DiSalvatore, D Jamie Fraser, C Brian Kaufman, C Morten Madsen, RW Carson McMillan, D Maxim Noreau, D J.P. Testwuide, C Peter Zingoni.
The following players were assigned to their junior club: LW Kristopher Foucault – Calgary, WHL, G Matt Hackett – Plymouth, OHL, C Tyler Johnson – Spokane, WHL, G Darcy Kuemper – Red Deer, WHL
The boys are on the ice as we speak as coach Todd Richards works exclusively on special teams. If this is the Friday lineup vs. Columbus, you'll get to see Marty Havlat's debut. He'll be on the power play with Brent Burns, Marek Zidlicky, Mikko Koivu and Andrew Brunette.
Again, if this is the lineup. I think it is though because a smattering of minor-leaguers, too, like Robbie Earl and Clayton Stoner out there.
Richards was demonstrating deflections earlier as Brent Burns took shots. He finally joked, "If you hit me, no more power-play time for you."
Danny Irmen, who had to give up 14 to Marty Havlat, now has to give up 17 to Petr Sykora. Irmen will now wear 40. Rough camp for Irmen. I guess they figured 40 was safe since Alex Tanguay chose Tampa over Minnesota this summer.
The Wild makes it too easy, I tell you.
I'll be on WCCO at 1:40 p.m. as I welcome Chad Hartman back to the airways.

Darkwood interactive trailer asks whether you'll fight or flee
Darkwood is a top-down, roguelikey, randomised horror, and one that (based on trailers at least) appears to have an atmosphere you could cut with a rusty machete. We mentioned that it was coming to Steam Early Access back in April, but it turns out that "coming soon" meant "coming in a few months". A new interactive trailer reveals that Darkwood's now pitching camp in the Early Access wilderness on July 24th, a date which couldn't be more next week if it tried.

New Brunswick is one of Canada's three Maritime provinces and the provincial capital is Fredericton. New Brunswick differs from the other Maritime provinces physiographically, climatologically, and ethnoculturally. Both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are either surrounded by, or are almost surrounded by water. On the other hand, New Brunswick, although having a significant seacoast, is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean proper and has a large interior that is removed from oceanic influences. As a result, the climate tends to be more continental in character rather than maritime. Some of the province's tourist attractions include the Kings Landing Historical Settlement, Village Historique Acadien, Hopewell Rocks, La Dune de Bouctouche, Saint John Reversing Falls, Magnetic Hill, Magic Mountain Water Park, Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Preserve, Sugarloaf Provincial Park, Sackville Waterfowl Park, Fundy National Park, and the 41 km (25 mi) Fundy Hiking Trail.

An amended Notice of Discharge issued to former Chelan elementary teacher K.C. Craven by the Lake Chelan School District is raising concerns among some who believe changes to the document do not accurately reflect the seriousness of charges. Negotiated changes in document language eliminated direct mention of sexual misconduct by the once popular teacher that had been on paid administrative leave for over a year.
Craven accepted the amended termination notice, dated May 14, and agreed to withdraw his appeal of discharge as part of a negotiated separation agreement with the School District. ChelanSchool Superintendent Rob Manahan said the changes in language were necessary for the school district to be able to respond appropriately and legally when presented with state required sexual misconduct forms.
Craven's original termination notice, delivered last October following a six month independent investigation, specifically spelled out multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. The amended version instead alleges he "engaged in conduct with high school students that violate WAC 181-87-080," the states administrative code regarding sexual misconduct with students.
Titled "Sexual Misconduct With Student" the code describes sexual misconduct as "any sexual advance, verbal or physical, sexual intercourse, indecent exposure or sexual contact, i.e. the intentional touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a student…"
The amended termination letter also states, as did the original, that Craven provided alcohol to students or minors or allowed them to drink alcohol at his home, engaged in "boundary invasion behaviors" with students, and engaged in insubordination, and a pattern of inappropriate behavior toward students.
The May 14th negotiated settlement included a "Separation and Release Agreement" signed by both Craven and the school distinct which states: "this Agreement should not be construed as an admission by either party of any liability or wrongdoing."
Craven withdrew his termination appeal in exchange for one year's pay, about $55,000."CLICK HERE" for Audio

Top 10 Classic Baby Names for Boys With Retro Flair
You've heard the joke that newborn babies look just like little old men, right? Well, giving baby boys names associated with great-grandpas and pop-pops is currently one of the hottest baby-naming trends! From Albert to Zeke, baby boy names from yesteryear are as modern as they come. Celebrity parents are embracing the blast-from-the-past names for their little guys, too. Here are our favorite throwback names for baby boys.
Reality star Kendra Wilkinson may not be your traditional "girl next door," but she and footballer husband Hank Baskett sure gave their son a traditional boy-next-door name. Not only is Hank–a common nickname for Henry–an ultra-classic, stately choice for a boy's name, they also named him after his dad, grandpa and great-grandpa. He's Henry the Fourth! It doesn't get more regal and retro than that!
Sandra Bullock was totally up on the old-fashioned name trend when she chose the name Louis for her son. She named him after jazz legend Louis Armstrong, and both Louises were born in New Orleans … which is also the town where Sandra adopted her son into her heart (aww!). We predict that Sandra's choice will influence this name's popularity–watch for more little Louises to join the playgroup.
David Letterman named his son, now 6, Harry after his father. This popular practice of honoring older generations is one of the big reasons why baby names are recycled and go in and out of fashion. Simon Baker of The Mentalist has a son named Harry, too. And of course, there are those books and movies about some wizard kid named Harry. Maybe you've heard of him?
We're crediting Brad and Angelina: Boy names that include a letter "X" are popular to the max! In addition to Brangie's Maddox, Pax and Knox, one old-school X name ex-celling on the name charts is Felix. The X-Files' Gillian Anderson named her youngest son Felix, and we're betting you'll be hearing more baby boys with this name soon.
Eli was once a mega-popular men's name back in the Civil War era. (Remember learning about cotton gin inventor Eli Whitney in elementary school? OK, we really don't either.) Proof that this name rocks: The Dark Queen of Cool, Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer, gave her son (as well as a Wolf Pack character) this name.
We're all hearing the name Charlie for boys (and girls!) more and more in the playdate world, and we think it's a solid choice. This jolly nickname for Charles will never go out of style. Like Michael/Mike and John/Jack, Charlie and Charles are names your little guy can wear well until he really is an old man! Russell Crowe (pictured here), Tiger Woods and Sarah Chalke of Scrubs agree–they all have young sons named Charlie.
Wonder if Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are retro-style comic book buffs? Because Archie is not only their son's name, it's the name of the red-headed kid on the classic 1950s-style comics. We're feeling the quirky coolness of this nostalgic name and love its originality. We're just crossing our fingers that Amy and Will don't name son #2 Jughead!
We give Owen a grade of "O" … for outstanding! We dig how this name sounds powerful and masculine at the start, and then softens at the end with the "wen." And not only is this name old-fashioned, it also has a folksy, indie vibe. That must be why crunchy mamas Carrie-Anne Moss and Ricki Lake both gave a son this name.
Fred Astaire, Fred Rogers, Fred Flintstone! … History is just swimming with old guys with the friendly, strong name Fred. Just as Jack and Will regained popularity in recent years, we think this boy name is due for a comeback. In fact, Blossom's Mayim Bialik named her son Frederick.
We all know that the astrological sign of Leo is the lion, so the name Leo is often associated with courage, bravery and leadership. Not too shabby. But the name Leo is also totally retrolicious! And if a name makes you think of the King of the Jungle and a loving grandpa, isn't that a pretty perfect combo? Kim Raver of Grey's Anatomy must agree–she chose this name for one of her sons.
(OK, we know we said "Top Ten", but we couldn't resist one more!) We may never walk the Victoria's Secret catwalk in lingerie and angel wings just six weeks after giving birth like Heidi Klum did. But we can forgo the weird flash-in-the-pan baby-naming trends and stick to names that have worked for hundreds of years, like Henry. Heidi and hubby Seal bestowed this kingly name on their first son, and we think its timeless chic takes the crown.

John Brickman Wall — a Salt Lake City pediatrician charged with murder in the 2011 death of his ex-wife — has filed paperwork with the court claiming he cannot afford to hire an attorney.
Wall, 49, is charged in 3rd District Court with first-degree felony counts of murder and aggravated burglary in connection with the alleged slaying of University of Utah researcher Uta von Schwedler at her Sugar House home.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
According to a "declaration of indigency" filed on Friday, Wall claims he has a monthly income of $7,000.
But he also claims he has a home mortgage of $380,000, owes $2,000 on a car and is responsible for three dependents — an apparent reference to the three of his four children who are under the age of 18. He claims he has assets of less than $10,000.
A judge will decide whether Wall meets the guidelines for appointment of a public defender.
It can cost several hundred thousand dollars to hire a private attorney in a murder case.
Wall, meanwhile, remains at the Salt Lake County jail in lieu of $1.5 million, cash-only bail.
His first court appearance is set for Tuesday.
Von Schwedler, 49, drowned in the bathtub at her Sugar House area home in the 1400 block of Harrison Avenue (1365 South) on Sept. 27, 2011. For more than a year, authorities have struggled to determine whether the woman's death was murder or suicide.
But expert analysis of the crime scene revealed a violent struggle and Wall's DNA in the home, which he did not share with his ex-wife, according to charges filed Thursday after Wall was arrested.
The couple's oldest son, 19-year-old Pelle Wall, has long maintained that he believes his mother was killed by his father.
"The arrest of John Wall for the murder of Uta von Schwedler is a long-awaited moment for those who loved Uta in their quest for justice," Margaret Olson, an attorney for the teen, said in a statement. "We are confident ... justice will ultimately be served."
Von Schwedler and John Wall were ensnared in a bitter custody battle following their divorce in 2006. Just before von Schwedler's death, she had prevailed in court to gain custody of their three youngest children.

Did you know? US Savings Bonds Can Be Hard to Cash
Photo: Thinkstock
Since the end of 2011, paper U.S. Savings Bonds have no longer been sold at financial institutions because the federal government wants to increase electronic transactions with citizens and businesses. (For more information, go to treasurydirect.gov.) Redeeming paperless bonds is easy and often results in a direct deposit within 24 hours.
But it can be more challenging to cash paper bonds, such as matured Series I or Series EE federal savings bonds. Most banks will cash them for account holders, but only a few will cash them for walk-in customers. And none of the five local credit unions that we called cash savings bonds at all – for customers or noncustomers – and neither does American Savings Bank.
First Hawaiian Bank, Central Pacific Bank and Hawaii National Bank all cash an unlimited number of matured savings bonds for their regular customers. Bank of Hawaii limits its customers to cashing $5,000 a day in savings bonds. Only BOH, FHB and CPB cash savings bonds for walk-in customers and each limits transactions to $1,000 a day, which means people without an account can't cash a savings bond that is worth more than $1,000 anywhere we could find in Hawaii.
The federal credit unions that said they do not cash savings bonds for anyone are Aloha Pacific, HawaiiUSA, Hawaii State, Hickam and University of Hawaii FCUs.
Ed Char, First Hawaiian's VP of deposit products, says some people see U.S. savings bonds as good, long-term savings vehicles. "There is a tax advantage if used for higher education such as tuition or qualified expenses, as the interest will not be taxed by the federal government," he says, advising people to consult a financial planner when considering bonds as a savings option.

Short Take Road Test: 2010 Subaru Outback 3.6R
By Tony Swan of Car and Driver
Let's get one thing straight, right here at the top: The "R" in the model designation does not stand for race.
The new Outback, generation four dating to 1994, is not a ride that's likely to stimulate your inner racer. This is family transportation, and 15 minutes behind the wheel will be enough to convince you that whatever sport you might associate with the vehicle is the equipment you loaded on the roof rack or into the rubber-floored cargo well at the back.
But neither does "R" stand for retardo — Spanish for "slow as hell," or something like that. Not with the optional 3.6-liter flat-six providing propulsion. The 3.0-liter H-6 option in the previous Outback 3.0R made forward progress an exercise in patience. It's a different story here.
Although the latest Outback is bigger in every dimension but length, the development team has done an excellent job of keeping weight in check. Our test subject, a top-of-the-line Limited model, scaled in at 3651 pounds. As with all Subies, that curb weight includes standard all-wheel drive. For contrast, consider the mass of two five-passenger competitors with similar dimensions: An all-wheel-drive Mazda CX-7 weighs in at about 3900 pounds, with a Chevrolet Equinox coming in at more than 3700 with only front-wheel drive.
More Muscle to Move the Modest Mass
With a five-speed automatic sending power to the all-wheel-drive system — the torque split is 45 percent front, 55 rear in normal operation -- the 3.6R hit 60 mph in 7.4 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 15.7 at 90 mph.
There's obviously no danger of nosebleeds or acceleration g-load brownouts with numbers like that, but this is a much livelier pace than the 3.0R was capable of producing. And passing performance, something that required careful planning with the previous flat-six, is much more carefree and spontaneous. The transmission kicks down readily, and the Outback surges forward with a will.
Transmission Omission?
Outbacks equipped with the new H-6 are limited to the five-speed automatic. It's a smoothie in ordinary operation, but the manual function using the wheel-mounted paddle shifters isn't particularly satisfying. Shifts are a little soggy, and the transmission upshifts on its own a couple hundred rpm before the 6500-rpm redline. Considering this vehicle's family-oriented mission and the uninspiring performance of the paddle-shift system, Subaru could well have saved some money by omitting such frivolities from the inventory. And we'd gladly swap the paddles for a sixth gear, something the CX-7 and the Equinox include in their auto-only drivetrains.
Dynamic Certainty
Even so, the Outback recovers well in quick transitions and is absolutely devoid of surprises. Inevitably, there's progressive understeer, and it's not difficult to provoke squeals of protest from the 60-series tires (225/60-17), a taller profile selected for ride-quality benefits.
But there is never an instant of uncertainty in this vehicle's responses, and anyone who plants an Outback among the roadside greenery — overcoming an effective (and not completely defeatable) stability control — has done so by a Darwin Award level of incompetence.
Capacious, Quiet Cabin
Although we noted a nasty chassis buzz on washboard stretches of graded road, as well as an occasional shudder through the unibody on some of the bigger bumps, the Outback's basic pavement deportment is almost beyond reproach.
The civilized dynamics are augmented by the voluminous interior. The Outback's overall length is actually slightly diminished, but the wheelbase, the width, and the height have all increased, yielding rear leg- and headroom capable of a strong comfort rating from all but the tallest of the current NBA tribe, as well as a good-size cargo hold.
Our test subject was a top-of-the-line Limited model that rang in at $34,685 with navigation and a power sunroof. Its base price is $31,690. You can get into a new Outback for considerably less — the base 3.6R starts at $28,690, and a 2.5i is $23,690 — but it's worth noting that the base price for the 3.6R Limited is actually a little less than for the outgoing 3.0R Limited, and it's also less than the top version of the Mazda and only about $1000 more than the highest-spec Equinox.
It may not be a thrill-a-minute ride, but the vehicle Subaru characterizes as the progenitor of the crossover phenomenon remains one of the key players in that rapidly expanding game.

Drivers will soon have a chance to try using the new Capital Beltway express lanes in Virginia for free.
Transurban, the group that operates the lanes, tells WTOP Radio that drivers won't need an E-Z Pass to drive on the lanes this coming weekend. Spokesman Pierce Coffee says it will give drivers a chance to test drive the lanes when they aren't running late to work.
Data from January showed ridership was falling below expectations, losing $11.3 million in the first six weeks.
Coffee says the I-495 Express Lanes are a new option, and they want to make sure drivers know how to use them.
Some drivers say think have to think hard about spending the extra money. But others say the lanes save them time.
