Original Message
The US, Canada, France and the UK are engaging in an illegal war in Libya. They and NATO have openly violated the UN resolutions that were passed to bring an end to the conflict in Libya. NATO is actively supporting the Al Qaeda terrorists in Libya and have installed them as the defacto government. I do think that if the people of Libya wanted Qaddafi out they could and would have gotten rid of him. The problem however is that there were no large scale protests against Qaddafi's government leading up to the conflict. There is however a great deal of evidence that the CIA and other intelligence agencies funded Islamic extremists in order to create the conflict in Libya which sparked the violence. I have mixed feelings about Qaddafi. On one hand he did do a great deal of good for Libya but there is also evidence he did many bad things as well. That however does not justify a war of aggression to be waged against the people of Libya. Since the conflict began there are have been more than 60,000 civilian casualties due to the NATO bombing of Libya.
A war of aggression is a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense. Waging such a war of aggression is a crime under the customary international law. The governments of the United States, France, Britain and Canada waged and continues to wage such a war of aggression against Libya. As Libya did not attack the United States, France, Britain or Canada the U.S. lead unprovoked armed attacks against Libya are declared war crimes and crimes against humanity. The leaders of the attacking countries, including United States President Barack Hussein Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, are therefore declared war criminals under International Law. A state which carries out or permits slavery, torture, genocide, war of aggression, or crimes against humanity is always violating customary international law. The leader of any state who carries out or permits slavery, torture, genocide, war of aggression, or crimes against humanity is guilty of an indictable offense.
When the United Nations General Assembly unanimously affirmed the Nürnberg principles in 1946, it affirmed the principle of individual accountability for the crimes of carrying out or permitting slavery, torture, genocide, war of aggression, or crimes against humanity. Barack Hussein Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, David Cameron and Stephen Harper are all guilty, under International Law, of willful planning, preparing and initiating of a war of aggression against Libya. Libya did not attack Canada, the United States or any other foreign state. The Libyan civil unrest was a domestic conflict. The Libyan leaders have only killed foreign paid mercenaries. Mercenaries are not protected by the Geneva Convention. Any leader of any country can kill any and all mercenaries who are actively participating in acts of rebellion, revolt, sabotage, or any other act that seeks to overthrown the government.
Full Article detailing exactly why I say this: [
link to djosiris.blogspot.com
Edit: Now this is only a starting ground. Once these criminals who are currently occupying our governments are made to account for their crimes WE the CITIZENS of EARTH can proceed unhindered to bring the rest of the international criminals to justice. I am speaking of all currently living former heads of state, military and government officials in addition to those individuals who have been allowed to continue to perpetuate crimes against humanity. This includes drug lords, mass murderers, pedophiles and anyone else who has violated the universal laws which protect humanity from cruel and unusual treatment.

Comic Jumper follows the story of protagonist and player character Captain Smiley and his biologically attached abrasive sidekick, Star. The duo must travel through different comic books, each with unique drawing styles, and fix the comics' plots Four distinct comic styles have exist in the game; Modern, which features bold colors, Fantasy, which features subdued colors with watercolor backgrounds, Silver Age, which is presented in cel-shaded graphics, and Manga, which is presented in black and white. When in a respective comic style Captain Smiley and Star's character design adapts to fit the look of the comic, sometimes even adapting weaponry to match the setting.
Welcome to Comic Jumper. Another fun filled game by Twisted Pixel!
Through this game you'll unlock most achievements in the first playthrough but some will/may take a little bit of grinding and a few more plays of the Comic Chapters and Challenges.
You should easly get a total of 100 just from the story before you do a bit of money grinding. Follow the guide and these achievements will be yours: Neural Net Processors, Two Stood Against Many, Hero of the Silver Age, Brad's Saviour and Best Friend, Job Well Done, Faithful Reader, Press X a Lot & Shut Star Up.
Once your first playthrough is completed you'll need to move onto any missable and grinding achievments! The Grinding achievements consist of: Collection of a True Fan, I Took Performace Enhancers & Violance Solves Everything.
For these achievements you'll need to replay Comic Chapters and/or Challenges to earn a little extra money as possible by the end of each Issue.
You may have enough money after the first playthrough to buy every Upgrade AND Bonus Material in the game to unlock Collection of a True Fan & I Took Performace Enhancers, so the grinding may not be necessary. I recommend you buy the Bonus Material stuff first as you start to get Score Multipliers and by the time you have brought them all the total added is 325% onto your end scores and added money. All this means now is you'll earn that case a little bit faster.
Below is the best and fastest way to gain money.
Grinding Method
This is an alternative way to play the game if you're looking to playthrough it fast.
First play the Introduction Comic (CS #23), and then afterwards, go to Winklemeyer and purchase as many Bonus items as possible (wont be to many but buy the cheapest - See list in Guide). After that, go to the Comic Jumper and choose Challenge and choose the 2nd stage. It's REALLY easy to reach the end without getting hit (Only takes 1:05-15 to complete), and you can average $3000-$4000 after each time. The more Bonus items you buy, the more your total is multiplied. Basically, play a few rounds of this stage to earn money, and then go back to Winklemeyer and buy more Bonus items. Your average will then shoot up tremendously thanks to the multiplication.
Doing this technique will mean you have much more money in the bank at a faster rate and you can buy everything thus unlocking Collection of a True Fan & I Took Performace Enhancers much quicker.
For Violance Solves Everything I recommend you constantly hold to make the most of it. One playthrough doing this will net you around 50-70k bullets fired!
See Guide for more info.
The missable achievements consists of: Eugene's Protégé & He Ain't Even Married. For these you can simply restart any or a certain Comic Chapters and try and unlock the achievment you're missing. For Eugene's Protégé you cant miss one QTE throughout the whole game.
Hints & Tip
#1 - Slide is your friend. To preform a Slide either press down on the and then press or at the same time. With the direction your pushing you'll slide along the floor and dodge enemy attacks with ease.
#2 - Jumping is also very useful in the way you can like the Slide get out of sticky situations like ground enemy attacks and get you up high away from them.
#3 - Trigger happy! Always hold the to shoot your gun. Doing this will help you clear distance enemies off screen or just as they enter and give you much more breathing space when the screen gets crazy.
#4 - Skipping parts! Sometime the levels just get full of enemies and you're constantly getting hit and running past them all is the only option. If you cant do a bit and the screen lets you move on just run, jump and slide your way out of there!
#5 - Spend your money wisely! I recommend you use it on the Bonus stuff and little bits on the Upgrades. I'd also suggest you keep to Health and Damage for the first few buys so you dont die as easy and can kill faster! See Breakdown/Grind achievements for a little more detail.
#6 - Health. If you're low on HP and you dont mind wastnig it or you dont use it, then press for the Help Me move and not only will everything die on the screen but your Health will be fully restored. Just watch out though as if you do use it you wont get the Bonus score/money at the end of the Issue!
#7 - Remember if you're having trouble with aim and shooting enemies, you can always got to the setting and turn Aim Assist on.
Comic Jumper is a hectic game but packed full of fun. If you take it at a good pace you should have no trouble with it and nice challenging but awarding 200 on your wall!
Star Shirt - Male
Sell off your individualism by wearing our Authentic Captain Smiley apparel.

Gerda Shirt - Female
Sell off your individualism by wearing our Authentic Gerda apparel.

Neural Net Processors 10
Destroy 25 of Brad's BradBots.
You'll unlock this on the very first level - Adventures of Captain Smiley #23! After the first cutscene, just fight your way through the bank until you make it onto the roofs and another cutscene takes place. This is where you'll first be introduced to Brad and his Bots.
After the cutscene you're shown how to use your guns and then attacked by Brads Bots. Just carry on with the level as normal and kill them from here. You should get this by the time you get to the first hanging pipe but if not, dont worry there's more than enough to kill!
Two Stood Against Many 15
Complete three sections of the first comic genre.
The 1st Comic is - Nanoc The Obliviator

Comic 5 - Adventures of Captain Smiley - Issue #00
Total = 11 levels to complete
Once you've completed CS #23, Nanoc (all Issues), Paper Pals (all Issues) and Kid Cupids (all Volumes), all the Villians you've faced throughout them (except Benny) will now be within your base! From here talk to everyone (Including Gerda but leave Winklemeyer) and you'll ask them to be in your Comic relaunch (CS #00)! You'll pay them off ($100) and you can then head back to the Comic Jumper and start CS #00. Complete this newer/extended version of CS #23 and you'll unlock this achievement when your end score is shown!
Press X a Lot 10
Earn some cash by talking to people in the base.
As soon as you've completed CS #23 and the cutscene ends you'll end up in your base. This area is where you can talk to people, upgrade, get new missions and check your stats among other things.
All you have to do is walk around your base and find characters from the Comics and certain objects. Go up to them and press to talk or interact with them. Once the scene ends you'll be handed some cash. You should be able to get this after the first Nonac Issue!
Collection of a True Fan 25
Spend your hard-earned money and buy all the unlockables from Dr. Winklemeyer.
I recommend you buy the Bonus Material stuff first as you start to get Score Multipliers which increases your score and money at the end of an Issue. See Breakdown for more info.
You earn cash by playing through the Comics, completing Challenges, talking to people and interacting with objects around your base.
Winklemeyer is to the right in the next room from Gerda from inside you base. From him you can buy Upgrades and Bonus Material.
For this achievment you'll need to buy all the Bonus Material. Below is a list of all the things you can buy and their costs:

I Took Performace Enhancers 25
Max out all of Captain Smiley's abilities.

You earn cash buy playing through the Comics, completing Challenges, talking to people and interacting with objects around your base.
Winklemeyer is to the right in the next room from Gerda from inside you base. From him you can buy Upgrades and Bonus Material.
For this achievement you'll need to buy all the Upgrades. Below is a list of all the things you can buy and there costs:
Break out
Total = $166,000 (this total includes the Help Me Upgrades)
Once you have brought the last Upgrade and exited the screen the achievement will unlock.
Violence Solves Everything 10
Fire 125,000 total shots.
You wont get this as you finish the story on your first playthrough. You'll have to go back and do a 2nd playthrough and/or do the Challenges to rack up the bullet count. I suggest you constantly hold down the button as you play to speed this process along! One playthrough doing this will net you around 50-70k bullets fired depending on deaths etc!
The best way to get this achievement is to do the rubber band trick. You'll get about 7-10k worth of bullets in about 1 hour or less!
If you want to see how many shots you've fired just head to the Stats computer which is in the same room as Gerda to the right.
Eugene's Protégé 20
Play every reaction sequence mistake-free.
These are the QTE's (Quick Time Events) that pop every once and a while through the game. The first one you come across is on CS #23.
The camera will change angle and the buttons () will pop up on screen. Make sure you hit everyone without making a mistake. They're not all that difficult but if you do miss one by mistake just come back to that Comic Issue later and replay it.
There's a total of 3 in the game: CS #23, Nonac Issue #286 and CS #00. The achievement will unlock when your score is shown at the end of the last Comic!
He Ain't Even Married 20
Survive a specific section without getting hit.
This achievement is related to the Benny fight in Improbable Paper Pals Issue #79.
Benny starts with over 800K Health. The fastest and best way to beat him is to use all 3 of you TP Help moves. Make sure you have 3 of them ready to use and before the fight starts you have full HP. If you don't have full HP, just die as the fight starts and you'll spawn right at the start of it again!
Now onto the fight. Use the first TP Help move just before you trigger the falling section of the fight. Then use your second when he is down to about 350k HP during the falling part. Then as soon as you land hold right to run away and use your 3rd.
He'll either die right there or have less than 2k HP, it all depends on when you use the powers. Either way its the fasted and best way to kill him without having to really fight him!
Shut Star Up 10
Let your feelings guide you.
At the end of CS #23 & #00, Star and you will have a little arguement. During this, you'll punch him and then he'll bite your hand. When this happens you can press to punch him. Do this 15 times and the achievement will unlock.
If you missed it just come back and replay these Issues.
Last edited by Nozza XBA; 07-18-2012 at 08:23 AM.
To Shut Star - You need to punch Star 15 times.
To I Took Performace Enhancers - You don't need the "Help me"-thingy for the achievement.

Things you might add:

brief addition
i managed to get 70 000 shots from 1 play through (a lot of being a nub, and dying involved)
he ain't even married is definately glitched at the moment, dev's looking into it (according to this thread)
as for grinding, i wouldn't say that money is problem
start by buying the extra's first, leave your stats alone (the extra's give you a score multiplier, total 325% when you have all of them)
upgrade CS after, and you will be done with both before you finish the game
now to go shoot another 30 000 times while i wait for 'H.A.E.M.' to be fixed.....
By chance is there a list of everybody to talk to and everything to examine in the base for the "Press X a Lot" Achievement?
I could've sworn I talked to everybody and checked all the scenery and items, but maybe I'm missing something? I have no idea.
Great guide, thanks for making it! Hopefully the devs fix the "He Ain't Even Married" Achievement soon.
Time to tape down the R button overnight to rack up some bullets.

i think it's just a case of talk to everybody after every level
you will get the achievement about 1/3 - 1/2 way through the game
talk to gerda after each mission, the crazy helmet guy (shop)
and in the 'lounge' talk to :-
brad (first 1/4 & 4/4 of the game)
putt-putt (2/4 - end of game)
rope lady (3/4 - end of game)
also, be on the look out for comics, and a few other items (2 at the shop area, 1 between the 2 arcade machines)
there is also the 2 cut-scenes about the splosion man arcade machine
some of these may be one time only events. I'm not going to spoil anything, i'll just say, check everything, after every level, always. whenever it puts up a "press X" prompt, do it
Gotcha. OP might want to update the guide then as it says you can get it before even starting the first comic. Unless it IS possible, I just didn't talk enough yet.
I don't know. Just started myself, so I'm sure it'll come eventually.
Thanks for the quick answer!
Looking good but may want to separate "glitched" and "missable" because you just say there are 2...but does that mean 2 you can miss or 2 that are glitched
Xbox360 games I have

Also, I'm pretty sure the "press X a lot" achievement is for activating a set number of interactions in the base, be it people or items. The arcade machines, the stat box, the Timecop pod, the trophy cabinet, and the unlocked goodies wall don't count. Basically talking to people after each mission, and activating items. Anything that gives you cash that isn't automatic.
It's possible to get this in the middle of the game or not get it at all, but the absolute earliest to get it is after the first Nanoc comic (The base doesn't reset with new interactions until after you do a story mission).

Also, not to be a dick, but since everything else is so well written, both the achievement and the word are spelled "Violence", not "Violance". Honest and common typo but just wanted to give a quick heads up since it's already being quoted.
Awesome guide, man!

I would TOTALLY change the Roadmap to suggest playing through the first comic, and then afterward, go to Winklemeyer and purchase as many Bonus items as possible. After that, go to the Comic Jumper and choose Challenge and choose the second stage. It's REALLY easy to reach the end without getting hit (Only takes 1:05-15 to complete), and you can average 3000-4000 bucks after each time. The more Bonus items you buy, the more your total is multiplied. Basically, play a few rounds of this stage to earn money, and then go back to Winklemeyer and buy more Bonus items. Your average will then shoot up tremendously thanks to the multiplication.
I just bought every Bonus item in under 2 hours of total play (That's including having played the first comic series). Now I'm getting an average of 9000-10,000 bucks each times I finish that stage, and after finishing the first stage of the "Golden Era", I made almost 20,000 bucks. Maxing out the Captain is going to be a cinch.

For the "Pressed X a Lot" achievement, as soon as you finish the introduction, talk to Greda, head left, talk to Brad, examine the Kefling statue, examine the poster on the wall by your collection, continue left, examine the Splosion Man and The Maw arcade machines. Then proceed right, past Greda, examine your stats. Continue left and talk to the "crazy helmet guy" whose name I can't remember. Continue left to the next room and talk to the Twisted Pixel guys. After this, complete the first mission. Return to base at the end of the first mission, proceed left, talk to Brad again, examine the Kefling, and poster again, and then run left to talk to the Twisted Pixel guys again. The achievement should pop then. It's easily obtainable early in the game. =)
Also... >.> Check out the leaderboard for the Bradbot challenge.... <.< I was like <--> close to 1st place. =(

i posted this on TA, might as well post it in here too, for when it's fixed (better be in a mood for reading, if not, don't continue)
pitiful"He Ain't Even Married" guide
this is a 4 phase fight, with phase 1 & 3 scrolling left to right, phase 2 falling, and the final phase being stationary.
phase 1
benny will only have 2 attacks, the charge move (high or low) & missiles
you have plenty of time to avoid the charge move for the first 3 or 4 charges.
After this, benny will at some point do a triple charge (low, high,low OR high, low, high) which is generally also easy to avoid [unless like me, you randomly jump up, instead of dropping down]
now the layout & attack will change, from being flat with the ledge, to having 'boxes' for you to jump on, and benny will fire his missiles at you (i recommend you learn how to stay atop these while benny fires missiles, as you will need that knowledge for phase 3)
a pretty brief return to the original style, with either single or triple charge moves
when he's down to about 580,000 health onto phase 2
Phase 2 - falling
there is no pattern to his attacks, but they include
single [left / right] charge
triple charge [R,L,R / L,R,L]
laser X - this has 3 variants.
if it is dead centre of the screen, it will stay as an 'X'
if it is offset to either side, that beam will shut off almost as soon as it stops, and the other beam will continue to move round
laser ||
this pattern can be a pain, the beams will start pointing out, and work down to force you upto benny, then it will move from side to side.
the only help i can give is learn his attacks, and the safe spots, if it's not a laser attack, stay right at the bottom, and move to the opposite side to the drill
laser attacks are where the trouble comes from, with 3 of them being near identical, you will need to be ready for them, either way, stay bottom middle until his attcks shows it's self
notei'm sure there are more than i listed, but i don't remember how they started.
get him down to about 320,000 (could be anywhere 350,000 - 280,000) and then
phase 3
this almost a repeat of the first section, but you have to use a sepcific route, due to electricity things (they are all tied in to what benny will do, so i suggest you learn this section by running through it once to familiarise yourself with the layout, i guess this also means that the random factor is removed from this section)
benny will attack Low, High, Low (when he attacks low, you must also jump to clear the electricity beam)
after this there will be the repeat of the 'box' section where benny fires missiles, however this time, all of the pits have elecricity blocking them, so you need to jump and shoot the missiles
*DON'T just spam jump, you need to time it well, and hopefully you should manage to shoot most of the missiles. Your best bet is to stay still shooting the missiles until you have a clear view of the next box before jumping over, try to time your jump to clear the few missiles that make it past your barrage of bullets
after this hellish bit you're almost done with phase 3
there will be a repeat of the beginning of phase 3, then benny will start using his lasers again
he has 3 firing patterns i have noticed. now there are 2 that are near identical, but differ on how he gets into the position
1. >< fires away from himself, moving the lasers to make an X (get as close to him as you can, on the middle level)
2. >< fires in an X closing down to >< (stay far back, middle level)
3. fires both up, sweeping them down, safe spot bottom middle (there may be the reverse of this too, but i havent seen it.
at about 80,000 this should take you to phase 4
phase 4 the stationary bit
for this section there is a ladder on the right of the screen
he has 2 attacks i'm aware of, i don't know of any variations
the charge attack and the laser attack
charge - he will either have his drill High or Low
laser - he will make an >< as usual
best tactic is to stay in the middle of the ladder
for the charge attack, keep an eye on the drill position, be ready to drop off, or climb slightly depending where it is
for the laser attack, the middle of the ladder is the only safe spot i've found
with lots of luck, and practice, you should have managed to defeat this total recall parody boss without being hit. i apologise for the vagueness of some descriptions, there is no substitute for learning the safe zones yourself, and persevering, though it will undoubtedly annoy the hell out of you
hopefully this achievement will be fixed soon so we can achieve the hardest achievement in the game, my only wish is that i had found out it was glitched before spending 2 hours trying it myself, however if that was the case, i wouldn't have written this
best of luck all

I follow Comic Jumper (this one) & it doesn't seem they've mentioned anything yet about a patch for the glitch. I'll reply to them & see if I can get an answer from them.
Now if I could just finish the 3rd part of the drill boss w/o getting hit....

Better broadband just might be coming to a middle seat near you.
Julius Genachowski is preparing to exit the top spot at the Federal Communications Commission, and it looks like he's planning on going out with a crowd-pleasing finale. Gadget junkies rejoice – the FCC is looking at a new rule to expand broadband access for airline passengers in flight.
Right now, airlines can offer Internet connections through satellite services to passengers – sometimes charging for the privilege. The FCC is looking at dedicating a swath of radio spectrum in the 14.0-14.5 gigahertz band for an "Air-Ground Mobile Broadband service." The spectrum is currently used by amateur radio operators.
Genachowski has long been critical of restrictions governing the use of electronic devices including tablets and e-readers in flights during takeoff and landing. Last year he urged the Federal Aviation Administration to change its policies on devices in a letter to agency head Michael Huerta.
Now the FCC is poised to allow the deployment of in-flight broadband, pending a new rulemaking, which will kick off at the agency's May 9 open meeting. The notice of proposed rulemaking would be followed by a lot of technical discussion among industry stakeholders. If the FCC votes to approve the spectrum allocation, a spectrum auction would follow before the launch of a commercial service. Assuming such an offering does get off the ground, it could provide connection speeds comparable to home broadband. Chinese firm ZTE recently announced the successful test of such a system, with speeds in excess of 12 megabits per second.
Admittedly, this is not a federal IT issue per se -- agency-controlled sprectrum is being eyed for different uses entirely -- but what computer-toting traveller isn't interested in airborn broadband?

And while we are at it, why are we concentrating on an airborne technology? We should be focused on getting a true broadband service deployed natiuonwide on the GROUND.

A routine traffic stop leads to a foot pursuit and finally ends in the arrest of a wanted man.
Police say an officer attempted a traffic stop around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday in the 3800 block of north Chestnut Street. The passenger then allegedly jumped out of the moving car before the vehicle came to a stop.
Officer Bauer and his K-9 Rico located the suspect, identified as Orlando Alvarez, under a bridge nearby. Alvarez was wanted on several felony and misdemeanor warrants.
Alvarez was taken into custody and transported to Memorial Hospital and treated for injuries he sustained as a result from his contact with K-9. He has been charged with Obstructing a Police Officer and booked into CJC on his warrants.

I have a problem in my bioinformatics class that I thought I was doing right, but someone else is getting a different answer. Here is the problem:
Given the following DNA sequence, 5'-GGATCGTGCCACCATCCACCATCGTTA-3', if two introns are in bases 3-9 and 15-22, what is the mRNA transcribed? Give the answer 5' to 3'. Note that the first base is base 1.
And here are the steps that I took:
- 5'-GG ATCGTGC CACCA TCCACCAT CGTTA-3' (remove the bolded)
- 5'-GGCACCACGTTA-3' (new string)
- take reverse complement
- swap T's with U's
Is this correct? Or where am I going wrong?

We stayed here for 6 nights as a family of 4. This was a good place to stay based on location to the metro and the price. Just a few minute walk to the metro and the area felt completely safe. The price of the metro for 4 people to get to the mall was around $13 and a cab was about $15 so depending on the weather, it was just easier to take a cab. We got the number from the front desk. The staff at the hotel were very friendly. We stayed in the main building and walked out to the pool. The pool is not fancy but served its purpose. The pizza shop next door had pretty good pizza and subs. We did eat at Rays burgers and it was fantastic, just a short walk. There is not a breakfast at the hotel so we brought pop tarts and cereal bars. Having the fridge was nice for drinks and things. We spent most of our time at the mall seeing all of the museums and monuments. I would suggest going to Mount Vernon if you have a car. It was really something to see and a nice break of museums. Over all, this was a good place for us to stay for the price and location.

This is an awesome set of some of James Stewart westerns; although, this doesn't have Shenandoah and Broken Arrow its still a great collection to have if you don't already have any of these films. All movies are in color and run about 1hr and 30min each. "Bend of the River" and "The Far Country" are both in Full screen format (Yes, "Far Country" was released in Wide, but apparently they don't want to release it yet) and "Night Passage" and "The Rare Breed" are both in Widescreen format (2:35:1). There are two disks and with no double sided disks, so all movies are on one side. There isn't much of features on these movies and there is only English for subtitles and language. Since Universal released this, the quality of this is just like buying the movies by themselves. These movies star of course James Stewart with: Rock Hudson, Audie Murphy, Arthur Kennedy, Julia Adams, Ruth Roman, Maureen O'Hara, Dan Duryea, Brian Keith, Jay C. Flippen, Henry (Harry) Morgan, Walter Brennan and others. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone.
This is a must for James Stewart fans these are all great movies.
Great Movies, no problems with viewing, very clear picture
He's a good actor
Video & audio quality is very good. This DVD is good value, offering four classic western movies of
James Stewart. They are good to watch, highly recommend it.
My Dad loves old westerns - this was a great 4-in-1 deal. He loved it!
Great cast. Wonderful Jimmy Stewart westerns.
Should own these even if not a great Western fan.
James Stewart is always good acting.
Good product, excellent quality.

Crime Scene Analysis
Proper crime scene procedure is arguably the most important part of any criminal investigation. If investigators and officers do not follow strict procedure they could destroy or remove vital information pertaining to the case that could be difference between apprehending the culprit or leaving the case unsolved. Any forensic procedure cannot begin without the proper collection of evidence and in order to do so, investigators need to use the proper tools and procedures. A standard field kit should be used at all times during the investigation which includes:
- Disposal latex gloves
- Evidence tape and steel ruler
- Paper and plastic bags in assorted sizes
- Paper envelopes
- Small sealable metal cans and glass jars
- An indelible marking pen
What happens first?
The first officer on the scene of a crime is called the first responder and is required to complete a number of tasks before a senior ranking officer arrives. The first task of a first responder is to search for and apprehend any suspects still on or in the vicinity of the crime scene. If no suspects can be found or all of them have been apprehended the next task is to provide assistance to any victims and then to direct the medical personal to any deceased or victims who need medical assistance. This path should minimize the risk of contamination to the crime scene and is called the path of contamination. After this, witnesses to the crime must be removed and detained.
Once these initial tasks have been completed, it is the responsibility of the first officer to secure the crime scene. This entails defining the boundaries of the crime scene and establishing a parameter. Once the scene is secure, the first officer must locate any focal points, which are places within the crime scene where offenses have been committed and are likely to yield relevant evidence. Finally, once a senior ranking officer arrives at the scene, all information must be relayed to him/her.
In the case of Jack the Ripper many of these protocols had not yet been created or were not yet required of the first officer. In fact, at the crime scene of Catherine Eddows the first officer on scene erased the message in chalk instead of preserving evidence and preventing cross contamination.
Crime Scene Documentation:
Before evidence is collected and moved to the appropriate facility detailed cataloging of all evidence must be taken. Things that would be included in the documentation process are:
- Presence of unusual odours
- Presences and condition of bloodstains
- Signs of struggle
- Evidence of drinking/drug use
- Light switches
Photos of the crime scene must be taken in order to document the way evidence and objects were at the time of the investigation. Four types of photographs are used to document a crime scene
General View: Identifies the location and surrounding area of the scene of the crime. General view is also helpful in orientating a jury as to the surroundings.
Medium view: Shows specific objects of importance and are generally taken between 10-20 ft. of the objects. Objects taken in medium view may be seen in the general view as well
Close-up view: This photo clearly shows an item of interest and is generally taken between 4-6 ft. away from an object. The object in this photo should include some identifiable object that is also in the general view in order to create special awareness
Extreme close-up view: this photo is taken at one ft. or less and contains rulers or scales that are placed beside the object, but not close enough or in front of as to hinder the view of the important evidence.
Proper photography documentation was not followed during the Jack the Ripper case. Many views were ignored and no extreme close-ups were taken with measuring tools in them. Most photographs are focused on the victims, with little focus being on their surroundings or any other evidence such as the broken window at Mary Jane Kelly crime scene.
Crime Scene Sketching:
At the scene of the crime, an officer will be tasked with creating a rough sketch of scene that represents all of the essential information as well as accurate measurements. At a later time, once the investigation at the crime scene has been completed, the officer will create a finished drawing that gives a precise rendering of the scene drawn to scale. This finished sketch will include the scale used, a legend indicating objects by letter or number, title block as well as the name or who prepared the sketch.
The investigators on the Jack the Ripper case drew many sketches however, due to the time period they had very different protocol than we do today. (See the page on Catherine Eddowes for examples)
|A finished crime scene sketch
Note Taking:
- Note taking must include:
- Location of physical evidence recovered
- The time an item of physical evidence was discovered
- By whom it was discovered
- How and by whom it was packaged and marked
- The disposition of the item after it was collected
Collecting Blood Evidence:
The main goal of collecting evidence is to prevent cross contamination. If two different objects or pieces of evidence come in contact with one another it could compromise the entire investigation or make the piece of evidence inadmissible in court. Each sample collected from different victims or found at different locations must be placed in separate containers.
Bloodstained materials, such as victim`s blood drenched clothes at the Jack the Ripper crime scenes, must be air dried before packaging. The material must not be placed in an airtight container or the blood will clot preventing any information that may have been gained from conducting forensic tests from being gathered. Instead, the material should be placed in wrapping paper, paper bags or manila envelopes. When collecting wet blood samples investigators should use a clean glass vial to place it in and if the blood is congealing, a drop of saline solution should be dropped in. Dry blood samples should be scraped until as much has been gathered as possible and then placed into a dry paper bag or a druggist`s fold. A reference sample, which is physical evidence whose origin is known, such as the victims, in order to be compared to crime scene evidence in order to obtain a match, should also be taken from the crime scene.
Since no forensic tests pertaining to blood samples were available in 1888, when the Jack the Ripper case occurred, police investigators never collected any blood samples from the crime scenes.

Cornyn 'grieving' over choice of McCain as GOP nominee.
At the annual Dallas County Republican party Reagan Day Dinner this weekend, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) lamented Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) ascension as the presumptive Republican nominee, saying McCain wasn't his "first choice" or even his "second, third or fourth choice." "I sort of liken it to a grieving process," Cornyn told the 500 or so die-hard Republicans at the event. "You come to acceptance."

Balancing act: Survey says telecommuting threatens career growth
"I work in financial services and my arrangement is currently 100 percent work from home," Cameron wrote. "I also spent nearly a decade in the office for the same company. I can definitively say that working from home allows far less distraction, and I am far more productive.
"Have you ever noticed people that come in the office early or stay late so they 'can get things done'? No one seems to question if the office environment is even the right idea. It's just accepted as the best because that's always the way it's been done. ... This is a big gaffe for Yahoo. ... They will lose good talent due to this decision, and they've given their competitors an additional benefit to attract talent."
However, a reader who left a comment online felt differently about Yahoo's decision.
"The best worker is the one that wants to be at work, who enjoys their job and wants to improve constantly," this reader wrote. "Even a talented employee, if they do their job well but don't love it, will never really be among the 'best' workers.
"Yes, eventually many get burned out even with a job they loved at one point, but considering that Yahoo is in the technology/innovation industry, having young, motivated, energetic employees who are willing to work all the time for a few years is more important than having a satisfied, older employee who values 'work-life balance.'
"I know this isn't the case for all industries, and I'm really not interested in how useful a good 'work-life' balance is for other industries. Yahoo is in innovation; it's an industry meant for the young, the enthusiastic and the workaholics. If your goal in life is to spend more time with your family, friends and non-work hobbies, you should probably find another industry."
Both of these readers make good points from extremely different points of view. I tend to agree with Cameron, but perhaps we're both wrong.
Once again, I'd be interested in your ideas. Do you think telecommuting will continue to grow in popularity, or will it diminish as the result of a backlash like that seen at Yahoo? If it does flourish, do people who work from home run the risk of missing out on opportunities for advancement? And is that fair for all involved?
Send me your reactions, as I'm sure I'll address this issue again in a future column.

We performed electrophysiological and serological testing within 15 days of symptom onset on 369 patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) enrolled in a trial comparing plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin, and both treatments. Patients were classified into five groups by motor nerve conduction criteria; 69% were demyelinating, 3% axonal, 3% inexcitable, 2% normal, and 23% equivocal. Six of 10 (60%) patients with axonal neurophysiology had had a preceding diarrheal illness compared with 71 of 359 (20%) in other groups. Antiganglioside GM1 antibodies were present in a higher proportion of patients with axonal physiology or inexcitable nerves than other patients. The number dead or unable to walk unaided at 48 weeks was greater in the group with initially inexcitable nerves (6 of 12, 50%) compared with the rest (52 of 357, 15%), but was not significantly different between the axonal (1 of 10, 10%) and demyelinating (44 of 254, 17%) groups. Sensory action potentials and clinical sensory examination were both normal in 53 of 342 (16%) patients, and these "pure motor GBS" patients were more likely than other GBS patients to have IgG antiganglioside GM1 antibodies and to have had preceding diarrhea but had a similar outcome. The axonal group was more likely than other groups to have normal sensory action potentials. The outcomes in response to the three treatments did not differ in any subgroup (including patients with pure motor GBS or preceding diarrhea) or any neurophysiological category.

Polo Shirt Pick: Armani Jeans Shirt, Double Pocket Polo
A plain polo can become a bit repetitive in the spring when literally everyone you pass on the street seems to be wearing one. Depart from the norm with this offering from Armani Jeans. The addition of two breast pockets with buttons infuses this top with a bit of a military feel. Wear it with cotton dress pants on casual Fridays.

Call for Artists
ReMIX: The Art of Reuse
Exhibition Dates: August 20 – September 16, 2016
In today's culture of abundance we are plagued with left overs and waste. As a society we create more garbage than any generation before us. And the question nags, what shall we do with all that stuff? ReMIX is an exhibition of art made from all that stuff, highlighting artists who create new works from items and materials that had a previous function. Their act of upcycling re-purposed materials is a kind of contemporary alchemy, transforming the seemingly worthless into objects worthy of our gaze.
ReMIX is juried by Ron Copeland. Ron Copeland is a Pittsburgh based artist originally from Canton, OH. He considers himself a self-taught artist but his graphic design studies at Kent State are a clear influence on his work. He has become well known for radiant lamps made from recycled plexi-glass and assemblages constructed from discarded wood. His interests have focused on salvaging materials from abandoned spaces of the Rust Belt region. Taking fragments of what remains of houses or buildings he recreates the space of a life left behind. He has shown his work nationally and is represented by Borelli-Edwards Gallery in Pittsburgh, PA and Galerie F in Chicago, IL.
This exhibition is in conjunction with the ReNEW Festival. Find out more about Pittsburgh's ReNEW Festival.
Submission fee: $25

Seriously, let's cut Feanor some slack. Acting like armchair martyrs will do one any good and, in the end, may actually prove to be evil. Unless you're a personal friend or in his shoes, no one should be counseling Feanor to engage in conflict with anyone.Remember who you are and where you are.
Unless you're a personal friend or in his shoes, no one should be counseling Feanor to engage in conflict with anyone.
Engage him in encouraging conversation? Yes. (eg. "It's a shame your friends aren't more open minded and accepting of your decision to be a Christian. You have my sympathy and prayers.")Tell him to engage in conflict that he may or may not be ready (which one would know only if he was a personal friend of Feanor and a confidant) to deal with? No.Cf. Romans 14.
Here's my little prayer corner:
Quote from: brittrossiter on May 06, 2010, 09:22:29 PMHere's my little prayer corner:Brittrossiter Who is the Saint depicted in the middle icon and also who is the saint to his left?
brittrossiter ......Very Very nice Prayer Corner,One thing though do the eastern orthodox icons, get along with the Latin crucifix...inquiring mind wants to know...
My impression is that this "icon corners" are more of a Russian/ Ukrainian thing. Am I right?I've never seen them, growing up in Romania.Do the Greeks, Serbs, Bulgarians, Arabs etc have them?
Quote from: wynd on May 04, 2010, 12:43:00 AMWhere'd you get those shelves? (or, alternatively, how did you make them?) I need to get some of these myself.I got both at Lowe's Home Improvement. I think the top shelf was about $10 and the floor shelving unit was about $35.EDIT--I've added a few icons since my last pic, and I'm still waiting on a couple icons to arrive...
Where'd you get those shelves? (or, alternatively, how did you make them?) I need to get some of these myself.
In short looking for suggestions I am truing to not get to complex as it distracts and frustrates me from what I am trying to do which is be closer to God and my boys during this difficult time.
Andrew what do you have in your icon corner(what icons ect...)?
Here is the icon corner in my room.
Quote from: Andrew21091 on May 10, 2010, 06:06:34 PMHere is the icon corner in my room.Andrew, can I ask where you got that icon of the Theotokos on the far left? The Westernized one, which is behind the censer. It is beautiful. I've been looking for something like that for quite some time now. Thanks!
that's beautiful!
Here's a photo of my icon corner. It's the poor man's version of icons, prints mounted in frames, but they've worked OK since I assembled it in November. Some of the icons rest in other places when not being used at prayer (for example, the Theotokos lives above my computer desk most of time).Anyway, the tour goes like this.The large icons in the center are Christ the Good Shepherd and the Theotokos.The ones to the left are St. Moses Murin and St. Susanna the Myrrhbearer.The ones on the left are St. Micah the Prophet and St. Elizabeth the mother of the Forerunner.Sitting on the bookcase in the folding frame is the icon for the Synaxis of All Saints Who Have Shone Forth in North America and the icon of the baptism of the Lord.The candle is of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I know it's not recognized by the Orthodox, but I already had the candle.The books in front of the icons are the Holy Trinity Monastery prayerbook and an extra-large print New Testament with Psalms (Authorized Version, 1611).The books standing between the rocks are a Catholic New American Bible, a Protestant Psalter (psalms set to popular hymn meter, in this case), the Oxford Companion to the Bible, my grandfather's Bible (it has hand-written notes in the margins) and a 1928 ECUSA Book of Common Prayer, which served as the basis for the Liturgy of St. Tikhon (it has a decent liturgical psalter).The cup is my "censer." I hope for it to grow (with real icons!), but this is it for the moment.
Our family recently purchased a house and we are able to use one of the bedrooms as a prayer room (in addition to it being our home office). Here's a picture of the converted bedroom closet. We sorta splurge after our baptism and purchased icons of our patron saints (there are nine of us). The saints are: [Clockwise to the left of the Theotokos] St. Nikolai, St. Helen, St. Matthew and St. Nina; and [clockwise to the right of St. John the Forerunner] St. Andrew, St. Juliana of Lazarevo, St. Markella, St. Isaac the Syrian and St. Silouan.
Quote from: augustin717 on December 07, 2009, 04:21:32 PMTo each his own, but I still think that there is still something more authentic in what I've experienced there. But that, perhaps, has more to do with the fact that there were no aesthetickal concerns involved, not much choice involved, not much awareness about it, just a custom followed out of a most blessed inertia, rather than with the number of the icons, in itself, I would say. Have you seen Blessed Elder Cleopa's cell at Sihastria Monastery? It is filled with icons and not just in the corner. I'd say he was pretty authentic. I don't see why having a lot of icons isn't authentic.

Italian Western meets blaxploitation revenge in Tarantino's latest B-movie blow-up

Quentin Tarantino may be America's greatest pulp film historian. He's certainly the greatest one actually making movies—as opposed to simply writing guidebooks on obscure cinema. His films are crammed with so many in-jokes, homages and references to previous cult films it would take an NYU grad student a week just to alphabetize them.

The final act for clean energy in the 111th Congress
This is a cross-post from CAP's Daniel J. Weiss.
The Senate has one last chance to pass clean energy measures before the 111th Congress adjourns for the year. Many other clean energy and climate measures were blocked in this Congress, but there's hope for a better ending to this clean energy legislative tragedy: The pending bill currently is composed of proposals with bipartisan authors.
On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) canceled a cloture vote that would have allowed passage of his Promoting Natural Gas and Electric Vehicles Act, S. 3815. Instead, he is reportedly conducting talks with one of the bill's co-sponsors, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), to see if a bipartisan agreement over the bill's passage is possible. It is a modest proposal that would increase incentives for natural gas trucks, create a pilot program for electric vehicle recharging infrastructure, and raise the oil spill liability fee from 8 cents to 21 cents per barrel.
Sen. Reid's bill is based on several bipartisan proposals. Its natural gas vehicles provisions are drawn from the NAT GAS Act, S. 1408. It would provide money for rebates to purchase natural gas cars and trucks. CAP estimates that the conversion of trucks to natural gas could save 1.2 million barrels of oil per day by 2035. The Senate Democratic Policy Committee notes that, "The natural gas industry … estimated that this program will create more than 100,000 direct manufacturing and labor jobs and more than 450,000 indirect jobs." Its cosponsors include conservative Sens. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), George LeMieux (R-FL), and Hatch.
The electric vehicle provisions in S. 3815 are based on The Electric Vehicle Deployment Act, S. 3442. It would speed the transition to electric vehicles by creating a pilot program to help some communities create electric vehicle recharging infrastructure for plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles, such as the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf. Its cosponsors include Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Susan Collins (R-ME), and LeMieux.
The cost of these programs would be offset by a fairly small increase in the oil spill liability fee from 8 cents to 21 cents per barrel. This would lead to an increase in gasoline prices of no more than one-thirteenth of a cent per gallon. In other words, it would boost the price of seven and a half gallons of gasoline by a single penny. To put this in perspective, gasoline prices rose 7 cents per gallon over the past month.
Big Oil companies oppose this because it would reduce oil use and increase their oil spill liability fee by a pittance. Nonetheless, Big Oil's opposition to this tiny fee hike could be enough to convince senators to vote against this very modest bill. The negotiations over the legislation are focusing on whether to levy this small fee increase or use some other mechanism to offset its cost.
Republican senators face pressure from their leaders to oppose the bill to deny President Barack Obama even a small victory in addition to demands from Big Oil. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made it clear that politics trumps progress when he said that, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." It is easy to imagine GOP Senate leaders following this dictum by strong-arming their caucus to vote against ending debate and passing this bill.
Republican senators who supported the NAT Gas Act and Electric Vehicle Development Act should also support S. 3815 if there is an agreement between Sens. Reid and Hatch. The bill would then pass. If past is prologue, though, enough of these senators could follow Big Oil and their Senate leadership to kill this common sense, low-cost legislation that would reduce our dependence on foreign oil. It would join comprehensive global warming and clean energy legislation along with other essential clean energy jobs proposals on the scrap heap of bills Big Oil and Senate Republican leaders opposed.
Let's hope such a sad fate for clean energy can be avoided in this Congress.
– Daniel J. Weiss is a Senior Fellow and Director of Climate Strategy at the Center for American Progress.
4 Responses to The final act for clean energy in the 111th Congress
S3815 is an abysmal piece of legislation which provides additional subsidies for fossil-foolish approaches rather than providing real solutions.
I nominate it for the "Lamest Action of the Lame Ducks". http://getenergysmartnow.com/2010/11/17/lamest-action-of-the-lame-ducks/
Oh — to be clear — what distresses me is the very large wedge (some $4.5 billion) that is created for Natural Gas Vehicles.
Also, consider the bill's language. The NGV money is guaranteed — appropriated — the electric vehicle funding is authorized, not appropriated.
Looking back on the last 2 years, seems to be par for the course…
Meanwhile in China…

How we can help people in our congregations move into the holiday season as ambassadors of God's love.
by Jack Hayford
I was wonderfully reminded of something recently—oh, the power of it!—something that could change your Thanksgiving and charge your Christmas this year—and I don't mean on a credit card! The reminder came while I was completing my book—a book with "blessing" in the title. I had almost missed including one of the mightiest truths about that word.
Briefly, the book is titled Blessing Your Children: How You Can Love the Kids in Your Life. It's an eight-chapter piece born of hundreds of counseling sessions and dozens of parenting-seminar presentations and is designed for teachers, children's workers and all who have a place of potential influence on a child's life, as well as young parents, providing them with practical guidance and biblical wisdom.
With four kids, 11 grandkids and having pastored a lot of people for a lot of years, I was pleased when a publisher asked me to prepare a parenting tool that would be something other than the usual—something that also would be useful for anyone who had kids in his or her life, whether or not he or she were parents.
This isn't a book review column, so I won't describe the other seven chapters, but the following is adapted from the chapter titled "Speaking Blessings Over Your Children." I've adjusted it to broader application here, at an appropriate time, with both Thanksgiving and Christmas facing most of the people in our churches with family exposures—sometimes delightful, sometimes otherwise. It occurred to me that such "blessing" may have a redemptively dynamic potential in such seasonal settings.
Blessing in prayer and conversation I can't help but think of times people have described to me the holiday difficulties of being among family or friends with whom certain strain exists. Sometimes the cause is related to painful issues from the past, and other times it's that unbelieving family members resent the believers. (Sadly, on occasion, this happens when believers conduct themselves unwisely at family gatherings, seeking to "scalp-hunt for God" rather than simply showing love and respect to family members and letting the Holy Spirit take it from there.)
I also remember the testimonies we have received through the years in our own congregation—stories of family members ultimately won to Christ by being blessed rather than by being made to feel either "less than" or "disapproved by" their believing relatives. The strategy: Carry warmly expressed and lovingly worded blessings into your holiday gatherings.
"Could I please speak a blessing of love over all of us?" is an offer that is hard to turn down. This can be done at either a personal or group level—and it can be done in conversation just as well as in a formal bow-your-head prayer. It can even be presented to the family as a toast, a gesture that can be offered with water in your glass irrespective of whatever anyone else has in theirs.
Preparing 'blessors'. To help people toward this means of touching their families—especially at holiday times—I have done some special teachings on "The Power of Blessing." It is always amazing how God has conferred a capacity for our words to cause things to happen, and it is within the broader scope of this remarkable truth that the privilege and the power of speaking blessings function. read more

text: Whether you're a first-time mom or have other children at home, getting the answers you need at those first newborn appointments can be tricky. Like most moms who have a brand-new baby, you're probably sleep deprived, hormonal, and a tad overwhelmed, which can make it hard to have a coherent conversation with your pediatrician — especially when you're also juggling a fussy infant in your arms. But if you plan ahead and go into your doctor's office with a list of questions, you'll be more likely to have a productive appointment and get the guidance you need before you walk out the exam-room door. Not sure what to ask? These questions are a good place to start.
