My brother and I would like to share our files. They are music, movies, etc that are too large to email. He does not want to install a freeware vpn, b/c most of them have very little security across the internet. Is there a way we can do this? We remote to each other using MS remote assistance, but the cable connection is not fast enough to allow us to watch movies from each other. Even if it was, we don't want the other person to interupt what we are doing. Is this even possible? We both have Belkin wifi routers (we use its fw), win xp sp2 (fw disabled), greater than 1.8ghz machines, greater than 1/2 G ram, cable internet.
Any ideas would be great, thank you!

Durant driven to win title | Noah says he's ready for opener | Nash may rest on back-to-backs | Granger out for 2 games | Woodson pondering Bargnani's role
No. 1: Durant learning not to 'obsess' over title run — Whether you are an Oklahoma City fan or not, NBA followers cannot deny the passion that Thunder star Kevin Durant has for the game. From attending WNBA games in the offseason to playing in random pickup/pro-am leagues in the offseason, Durant is all about basketball and improving himself on the court. Such a fact comes shining through in a recent interview Durant has with Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman, where OKC's star delves into what drives him in a season that has some doubting the Thunder:
A sweat-drenched Kevin Durant sauntered over to a row of black leather seats just off the adjoining courts inside the Thunder's training center, plopping down in the first bolted-in chair, finally taking a load off following another day at the office, another practice session that ended with him as the last player on the court, another 15 extra minutes maniacally adding more weapons to his arsenal.Over the next 17 minutes, Durant opened up about his career in a sit-down interview with The Oklahoman, discussing his trials, tribulations and triumphs, failures, focus and future.
By the time he was done, Durant left no doubt where his mindset is as he enters his seventh NBA season. It was as clear as the sweat-stained imprint the back of his No. 35 practice jersey left on that leather seat.
"I want to be the greatest," Durant said. "I want to be remembered as one of the greatest. When they redo that top 50 players (of all time), I want to be a part of that."
"This whole thing is a fraternity. But it's a different fraternity when you're staring at a group of guys that won championships, MVPs, and you can say you're on that level with them in your career," Durant said. "It's only a handful of guys, maybe 15, 20 guys, that you can get in that conversation with. And I'm nowhere near there yet. So that's where I want to be."
Durant spent his first six seasons proving he was a stud. Now he wants to be known as simply a champion. The past two seasons showed Durant just how elusive a title can be. In 2012, the Thunder took a 1-0 lead on Miami in the NBA Finals before losing four straight. Last season, the Thunder's playoff run was derailed by a season-ending knee injury to Russell Westbrook.
It's not that those setbacks sparked a heightened sense of urgency for Durant. It's just at this stage in his career, championships are now all that truly matter.
"It's always been important to me. I always was one of those guys that played to win," Durant said. "But, first coming into the league, I was a little confused because it's so many great teams every night. It was no cupcake games like it was in high school and college. Every night, you got to come to play because these are great players. They were all something coming in. And my thoughts coming into the league was, of course, to win, but once I got on the court it was to establish myself. That's what I thought. Grow as a player and then worry about that.
"But now, I've played in the All-Star Games; I've scored 30 points, 40 points before; had a triple-double before. I feel individually, like stats and stuff, I feel like I did my job with that and I established myself. But it's about winning championships, and the first thing I got to get out of my head is 'I.' It's like, 'I want to win a championship.' It's not about that because one guy doesn't win it, two guys don't win it, three guys don't win it. So it's about the whole team, the whole organization winning a championship."
No. 2: Noah '100 percent' ready for opener — Bulls All-Star center Joakim Noah appeared in just one preseason game and was sidelined the rest of the exhibition season with a groin strain that left his availability for Tuesday's season opener against Miami (8 p.m. ET, TNT) up in the air. But following Sunday's practice in Chicago, the big man declared himself ready to go for Tuesday night, writes our own Steve Aschburner:
Noah had made just one preseason appearance after slipping in practice and suffering a groin strain early in camp. Several days earlier, both he and Hinrich seemed like longshots at best to face the Heat, from listening to coach Tom Thibodeau. But Noah told reporters at the team's practice facility Sunday that missing the final tune-up against Denver Friday was a precaution only.
As competitive as he is, and as aware of the inevitability of getting through the two-time defending champs if his team hopes to chase a title, Noah figured to be straining at the leash if he had to sit out.
"Every time you play against Miami, it's a statement," Noah said. "In the beginning of our season, we're a hungry group. It's one of 82 but we know that every time we play against Miami it's important."
Noah didn't seem concerned about a drop in his conditioning, though that seems likely to cut into his minutes after his limited October play. Hinrich, who suffered a concussion Oct. 18 and also was coping with a sore shoulder, endured a rigorous practice Sunday without setback.
No. 3: Nash may sit out second game of back-to-backs — Lakers point guard Steve Nash entered training camp saying how he was feeling better than he was last season, when he missed 32 games with various injuries and was a shell of himself. But Nash averaged just 4.0 ppg and 3.6 apg in 18.4 minutes during the preseason and coach Mike D'Antoni says he may consider giving Nash more rest this season, writes Dave McMenamin of ESPNLosAngeles.com:
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said he is considering not having Nash play through the entire early schedule, which includes a back-to-back this week at home against the Clippers and on the road against the Golden State Warriors, followed by a third game in four nights back in L.A. against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
"There's a possibility," D'Antoni said of Nash sitting out against Golden State. "We have to talk about it. I haven't talked to him. Obviously we'll see how he feels in the next couple of days, but it's very possible that he sits out."
D'Antoni said he and Nash likely would determine the point guard's playing status as each of L.A.'s 19 sets of back-to-back games come up in the schedule, rather than map it out beforehand and be married to the plan.
"It's hard to make a definitive answer right now because if one of my other point guards tweaks his ankle, he's playing," D'Antoni said of Nash. "If one guy has the sniffles, he's playing. So, we'll see how the team goes and we'll see where we are — where we are in the schedule, where we are in the standings — and see how he does. But the idea is to cut down the number of games and keep the minutes consistent for him, but the number of games come down."
D'Antoni said Nash definitely would play against the Clippers. Nash did not speak with reporters Sunday, but addressed the Lakers schedule out of the gate following L.A.'s 111-106 win over the Utah Jazz in their preseason finale Friday.
"I just look at the first one and see how it goes," Nash said then. "Who knows, right? I think you have to be open to anything, but for me, I am just preparing for that first game of the year. I want to have a great game and then see what happens after that."
No. 4: Granger out for Pacers' first two games — (UPDATE: Granger will now be out 3 weeks instead of the two games originally written here) … Save for five games last season, swingman Danny Granger spent the entire 2012-13 campaign rehabbing and recovering for a troublesome knee injury. The knee hasn't proven to be a problem for Granger in the preseason, but a strained calf injury has made life difficult for him now. Pacers.com's Scott Agness reports that Granger will miss the Pacers' first two games of the season with the injury:
Pacers forward Danny Granger continues to be bothered by strained left calf and it'll keep him out at least the first two games, Pacers coach Frank Vogel declared Sunday after practice. The Pacers open the regular season on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, and then they play in New Orleans on Wednesday.
"He's just doing some light shooting and stuff," Vogel said. "As long as he's feeling anything down there, [the training staff is] going to be cautious with it."
This wasn't exactly surprising. Vogel said on Friday that Granger was unlikely to play in the season opener.
No. 5: Woodson open to Bargnani as sixth man — The Knicks' ideal starting lineup in the frontcourt is a big one that features Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and new addition Andrea Bargnani all playing alongside each other. Bargnani, though, has struggled to get into a groove in New York and his trademark 3-point shooting has been off as well. Those issues — plus Bargnani's well-documented defensive struggles — have Knicks coach Mike Woodson pondering a Metta World Peace-for-Bargnani swap in the starting lineup, writes Marc Berman of the New York Post:
Carmelo Anthony repeated several times Saturday that Andrea Bargnani's transformation as a defensive-minded Knick won't "happen overnight.'' However, Knicks coach Mike Woodson said he won't wait a long time for the 7-foot Italian to make it as full-time starting power forward.
If he has to change the big frontline of Tyson Chandler, Bargnani and Anthony by Wednesday's season opener against Milwaukee, Woodson will. The obvious change would be to send Bargnani to the bench for small forward Metta World Peace.
"I'll experiment with [the big frontcourt], but I've got options this year,'' Woodson said. "I can always go small, with Melo at the 4 with small teams and throw Bargnani in there when we got big teams. It's not a matter of who starts, it's what you do with the minutes that you're in there. That's the message I'm sending everybody on the team. You got to give productive minutes on the floor if you want to play.''
Bargnani's preseason was disappointing after a very sharp opener. He finished a minus in the plus-minus category in each of the last six preseason games — totaling a minus-72. He still is learning both the offensive and defensive systems, Woodson said.
Bargnani hasn't been a good rim protector or rebounder in his career, and he extended that reputation this October.
"It's not going to happen overnight,'' Anthony said. "We had a preseason together. He's still getting his feet wet as far as adjusting to New York. He's still trying to adjust to New York. On the court with us, he's still trying to adjust to that and we're still trying to adjust to him.''
Anthony said Bargnani's teammates are understanding.
"The eventual goal is everyone's clicking with one another,'' Anthony said. "It's not going to happen overnight. He's not going to adjust to the New York style, New York way of living, New York way of life overnight. I'm not asking people to be patient, but as teammates we're very patient with him. We understand a guy coming to this New York situation and what it actually takes to be here in New York.''
Bargnani is a man of few and simple words. But he recognizes he needs more time.
"Of course everybody's learning,'' Bargnani said. "The main focus is defense and defensive rebounds. That's the main thing coach wants for us. The offense is going to come.''
World Peace gives the Knicks a more rugged defensive unit, with Anthony at the 4. So far, World Peace is even badly outshooting Bargnani from 3-point land — 40.9 to 20 percent.
SOME RANDOM HEADLINES: The Jazz and forward Gordon Hayward remain far apart on a contract extension … Sixers forward Thaddeus Young is well aware his name is likely to be in trade rumors … Rockets likely to waive veteran Marcus Camby this week … NBA commissioner-in-waiting Adam Silver backs the advanced-stats movement … Magic rookie Victor Oladipo faces tough transition to point guard position
ICYMI Of The Night: Preseason is a time when teams try out wacky lineups, give major minutes to their reserve players and in general experiment across the board. We wonder if this wild over-the-head and-one shot by Zaza Pachulia is part of the Bucks' plans for 2013-14 …

1. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Steve Grisetti May 12, 2009 6:58 AM (in response to Eddie Ostrowski)1 person found this helpful
The Flip camera is probably not the best camera to use with this editing software. You'll probably find the video won't load into the program well.
That type of camera, in fact, isn't made for doing much editing at all. It's primarily designed for people who just want to shoot and then post to YouTube.
2. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Eddie Ostrowski May 12, 2009 7:17 AM (in response to Steve Grisetti)
Steve, thank you. Would it be possible for you to give me a ballpark guesstimate as to what one should minimally spend on a video camera for what we'd like to accomplish? Also, can one extract still shots from PE or is that a function of the camera? Eddie
3. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?the_wine_snob May 12, 2009 7:42 AM (in response to Eddie Ostrowski)
As for the Export of a still image, PE will do that nicely. Obviously, the resolution of that image will depend on the Project Preset, determined by your camera's footage. It will NOT be as high a resolution, as an image from a still camera (unless it is a lower-rez still camera). Still, it will be more than adequate, when used on the Web.
For current video camera recs., I'll have to let someone else address that. I am not up to date on the features and prices on these.
Good luck,
4. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Steve Grisetti May 12, 2009 7:52 AM (in response to the_wine_snob)
I always recommend tape-based camcorders, if you plan to edit. They interface most easily with video editing programs, including Premiere Elements.
For standard video, that means miniDV camcorders. From my experience, Sony gives you the best results -- although Canons and Panasonics are also pretty good. And you can find a good miniDV for under $300.
For hi-def video, I recommend HDV. The Canon HV20, HV30 and HV40 are favorites of many HDV users, including those on our "sister" site http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/
I don't recommend AVCHD hi-def camcorders. Although their hard drives make for convenient video storage, the files are very challenging to work with and can slow down all but the fastest computers.
5. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Eddie Ostrowski May 12, 2009 10:17 AM (in response to Eddie Ostrowski)
Hunt and Steve, thank you for your responses... you've been very helpful.
6. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?rjet50 Jul 14, 2009 11:40 PM (in response to Eddie Ostrowski)
I'm not exactly sure why Premiere Elements does not work with the Flip camera, but just about every other editing product works fine. Imovie on apple, sony vegas, windows movie maker (free), camtasia studio. In fact I think premiere is about the only thing that flip does not work on. We have sony prosumer digital camera $3500 range and several 3ccd cameras but depending on the output, if you want the web the flips seem to be fine, the biggest problem is lighting and audio but that can be a problem with any camera.
It would be nice if adobe figured out why premiere does not seem to work with the flip cameras. Flip uses mp4 which is pretty standard these days.
7. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Steve Grisetti Jul 15, 2009 5:22 AM (in response to rjet50)
As we said in response to your other post, Flip camcorder video is not designed to be edited. It is designed to be shot and posted directly to YouTube.
The challenges with editing this format have nothing to do with Premiere Elements and everything to do with the nature of these flash-based camcorders.
You'll find explanations at the beginning of this and the other thread you posted to.
8. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Zotter9 Jul 15, 2009 9:52 AM (in response to Steve Grisetti)
I am editing clips off Flip Video HD video camera with no issue.
9. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Steve Grisetti Jul 15, 2009 9:54 AM (in response to Zotter9)
As we always say, Your mileage may vary.
Unfortunately, for those that it doesn't work with -- there's likely no way to make it work.
10. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?the_wine_snob Jul 15, 2009 1:25 PM (in response to Zotter9)
When you have a moment, if you would kindly write out your workflow, in as much details, as you can provide and post it to the PE Tips & Tricks sub-forum, with a title such as, "Editing Flip Video - One Workflow?" That could be a great help to many others, as this topic comes up here and also in the PrPro forum. I usually link back to the PE FAQ, and to a few other articles on the Flip, and having something that is working for you would be great.
11. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Zotter9 Jul 15, 2009 1:53 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)
Well you are giving me WAY WAY too mcuh credit here. (i.e. I barely know what I am doing).
The work flow is simply importing the clips I saved on an external hard drive (AFTER taking them off the Flip Video and importing them (saving them) onto a computer 1st). Actaully I am pulling a minute or two out of a 15-20 minute clip and saving the clip as an .avi file in order to create a longer video "movie" project. I would not try to import the clips direct from the Flip Camera. Get the files off the camera. I hope that is helpful.
12. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?bhollin Aug 9, 2009 5:00 PM (in response to Eddie Ostrowski)
I'm using the relatively new Flip Ultra HD, which captures 720p video in QuickTime MP4 format (specifically H.264). There's no good reason Premiere should have a problem with this format.
However in my experience, even though Premiere Elements 7 boasts HD support, upon importing the MP4 file it appears to downsample it to SD format and the quality is significantly degraded. Here's an example of a screen shot from the original Flip file, followed by by Premiere creates after editing and outputing as 720p QuickTime H.264 format at full bitrate and quality settings:
13. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Steve Grisetti Aug 9, 2009 5:13 PM (in response to bhollin)
Please see post #2 to this thread, b.
14. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?bhollin Aug 9, 2009 6:25 PM (in response to bhollin)
Posted prematurely...
BEFORE (QuickTime rendering of the native Flip file - not a still image but screen capture of video frame from playback):
AFTER (Note that Premiere pads the downsampled image to meet the target 720p screen resolution - even though that was the original resolution of the Flip source)
AFTER (zoomed to fill the screen - note the quality vs. the first image above)
Bottom line: Premiere degrades the source video quality/resolution. Am I using the wrong import settings? How to get it to preserve HD format when importing QuickTime source? As I think about this, doesn't Premiere normally convert to DV format for internal representation, which is inherently lower resolution and quality. Is HDDV the only HD format it supports?

If you import form a Flip Ultra HD camera, you must conform your project settings appropriately before importing your footage. 720p @ 30 fps does the trick for me.
16. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Brady Russell Nov 17, 2011 9:16 PM (in response to Steve Grisetti)
The CORRECT Answer is from Akarklins at the bottom.
All you have to do is set your project settings correctly right after you click on Start a New Project. Change them to 720p & 30fps and it WORKS GREAT.
As an aside, I can't stand people like you on Forums. You didn't know the answer. Be quiet. You were wrong. It works great.
Reread what you wrote. Basically you said two things. 1) Hey, idiot, you don't know enough about video to buy the right camera. The other thing you said was 2) I know you can only afford a $200 camera, because that's what you bought, but I'm going to insensitively suggest that you should go out and spend even more than that (which you don't have, because you just spent it) on SOMETHING ELSE.
It's so obnoxious and arrogant.
And on top of all that, you are just wrong.
You know why this really makes me mad? Because I had this exact same problem and I kept coming back to it and kept coming back to and I'd do Google searches and this same thread kept coming out. Only, I didn't come to the right answer because I didn't read down far enough. BECAUSE YOU WERE IN THE WAY.
You're wrong. More importantly, you didn't know. Quit being such a blowhard. Be quiet. When you don't know the answer, just don't say anything.
If someone says: How do I get to Ontario? Don't but in in and say, "Where you really ought to go is Ottawa." If you don't know where Ontario is then shut up and let someone who knows how to get to Ontario answer the question.
You are taking up space and you are in the way.
17. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Brady Russell Nov 17, 2011 9:17 PM (in response to Eddie Ostrowski)
He's wrong. All you have to do is set your project settings to 720p and 30fps and it works fine. It's in the first options you see when you start the project. BEFORE you import any video.
18. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Brady Russell Nov 17, 2011 9:18 PM (in response to Steve Grisetti)
Ugh. It's fine. Just change your project settings.
19. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Brady Russell Nov 17, 2011 9:21 PM (in response to Akarklins)
THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER. Why isn't this marked as correct. So frustrating...
20. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?nealeh Nov 18, 2011 4:03 AM (in response to Brady Russell)
Umm - did you note the dates on the above posts? At that time (2009), with PRE7 / PRE8, Flip was a troublesome format. v9 and v10 do it much better.
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
21. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?Steve Grisetti Nov 18, 2011 4:48 AM (in response to Brady Russell)
It's because this thread is over two years old and the original poster has long moved on. It's up to the original poster to say if the question is answered or not.
22. Re: Premiere Elements and Flip HD Camera?the_wine_snob Nov 18, 2011 6:22 AM (in response to Steve Grisetti)
And in that period of time, there have been two major forum software updates, so much has changed in the actual forums too.
Still, had the OP returned, and marked the thread as Answered, that marking would probably have stuck.
This is one reason that we urge all posters to at least mark a thread as Answered, when it has been. However, as as Neale pointed out, the versions of PrE have changed, and more support for some formats has been added to each, as the versions progressed - what might have been needed two years ago, as a workaround, might now be native.

I've been researching this and I don't think I've seen it so I thought I'd ask. I'm also not that geeky (well, maybe a little) and only know basic HTML editing. I'm trying to make my site look as less of a blog site as possible.
I'm trying to add a list of resources to show up on my site using categories but I can't figure out how. I've found a site that has this EXACTLY how I'd like (I actually LOVE the entire site). Does anyone know how it can be done (in newbie terms)? This is THEIR site:
And here's MY site: http://thelivinggreensolution.com/
I also REALLY like their left page widget (how it changes from page to page, color, shape, etc.) but that'll be for another post.

Mammoth Sierra Magazine "Winter Preview" debuts Friday, Dec. 7
With stories spanning everything from science to skiing, women on snow to a guide to Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, the winter preview edition of Mammoth Sierra Magazine is about to hit the racks
The magazine, free at selected locations and to subscribers of the Mammoth Times, is the 58th edition of the bimonthly publication. The new edition hits newstands on Friday, Dec. 7.
Featured is a mysterious cover image from the Beekley Collection of Ski Art.
Inside the magazine is a preview to what's new at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, including a full trail map, along with Wendilyn Grasseschi's often-hilarious tale of the epic winter of 1992-93. Humorist Bump Diamond weighs in with his "Meh" list for the holidays, too.
The magazine continues its commitment to creative writing as well, with poignant poetry and essays from Mammoth and the High Sierra Eastside.
Don't miss the feature on three of our outstanding "women on snow," either.
It's not all about snow, however. The magazine looks back at the pioneering geology work of Roy A. Bailey in the Long Valley Caldera and how the USGS is using modern methods—from the air, this time—to further understand the seismology of this fascinating place.
Also on a science note, the White Mountain Research Center moves ahead with its projects high atop the third-highest peak in the Lower 48, situated within easy range of Mammoth.
It is loaded with solid magazine journalism, sure to be a keeper companion on these long, much-anticipated winter nights.

2013 Mercedes SL65 AMG: New York Auto Show
- The 2013 SL65 is based on the newly redesigned SL-Class
- The convertible offers 621 horsepower and a staggering 738 lb-ft of torque
- Mercedes says the SL65 will go on sale in November
Among the many stars of Mercedes' display at this year's New York Auto Show was a powerful new version of the automaker's flagship SL-Class roadster. According to Mercedes, the 2013 SL65 AMG goes on sale in November and features the same monstrous twin-turbo V12 as today's model.
On the outside, the 2013 SL65 AMG offers many of the same stylistic enhancements as its predecessor. Based on the recently redesigned sixth-generation SL-Class, the new SL65 features a larger front air intake, a host of chrome accents peppered throughout the exterior and the model's unique front bumper side fins, which were a characteristic design feature of the original SL65.
Inside, the SL65 also boasts several changes over the more common SL550 and SL63 AMG models. Among the enhancements are highly-bolstered sport seats with unique "V12 diamond stitching," two-tone upholstery on the seats and door panels, a designer headliner and several exclusive colors for interior surfaces and trim.
Of course, the SL65 AMG also justifies its monstrous price - expected to be around $200,000 - with an equally monstrous engine. Under the convertible's long hood is an enormous twin-turbocharged V12 that produces 621 horsepower and an almost unbelievable 738 lb-ft of torque. According to Mercedes, the engine puts power to the ground through the automaker's quick-shifting seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission, which helps the convertible reach 60 miles per hour from a standing stop in just 3.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 186 miles per hour.
"The combination of exclusive V12 dynamics and cultivated roadster pleasure was already unique in the previous model," says Ola Kallenius, chief executive of Mercedes-AMG. "We are certain that with the new SL65 AMG, we have developed a stunning high-performance automobile beyond compare for a small but loyal fan base."
Mercedes originally introduced the V12-powered SL65 AMG for the 2005 model year. Updated along with the rest of the SL-Class range for 2009, the SL65 was briefly cancelled last year to make way for the all-new SL-Class. Given tightening fuel economy and emissions regulations, many industry observers wondered if the automaker would choose to return the powerful convertible to its lineup when the SL-Class was redesigned for 2012.
What it means to you: The ultimate SL-Class is back in the Mercedes lineup.

A clerical error allowed the man suspected of killing Colorado's prisons chief to be released from custody about four years early, officials said Monday.
In 2008, Evan Spencer Ebel pleaded guilty in rural Fremont County to assaulting a prison guard. In a plea deal, Ebel was to be sentenced to up to four additional years in prison, to be served after he completed the eight-year sentence that put him behind bars in 2005, according to a statement from the 11th Judicial District.
However, the judge did not say the sentence was meant to be "consecutive," or in addition to, Ebel's current one. So the court clerk recorded it as one to be served "concurrently," or at the same time. That's the information that went to the state prisons, the statement said.
So on Jan. 28, prisons officials saw that Ebel had finished his court-ordered sentence and released him.
- From a young age, no one could tame Evan Ebel
- Gun evidence links suspect Evan Ebel with Texas and Colo. shootings
- Bomb-making materials found in Colo. murder suspect's car
Two months later he was dead after a shootout with authorities in Texas. The gun he used was the same used to shoot and kill prisons chief Tom Clements two days earlier. Police believe Ebel also was involved in the death of a Domino's delivery man, Nathan Leon, in Denver.
"The court regrets this oversight and extends condolences to the families of Mr. Nathan Leon and Mr. Tom Clements," said a statement signed by Charles Barton, chief judge of the 11th Judicial District, and court administrator Walter Blair.
Corrections officials said they had not calculated precisely the number of days Ebel would have remained behind bars had the sentence been consecutive. They said they had no way of knowing the plea deal was intended to keep Ebel behind bars for years longer.
The attack that led to the plea deal took place in 2006. According to prison and court records, Ebel slipped his handcuffs while being transferred from a cell and punched a prison guard in the nose, also threatening to kill the guard's family. Ebel spent much of his time behind bars in solitary confinement and had a long record of disciplinary violations.

... After the guards returned from killing the young father of two, and after they had threatened the lives of everyone else in the cabin, they had Jose call his brother to see where the ransom money was. Jose told his brother the gruesome news.
"I didn't want to pressure him because it's hard to get all that money, but I told him to try his best or else this might happen to me too," Jose says.
A group effort
Meanwhile, in Hood River, word had begun to go around town, mainly in the Hispanic community, about Jose's plight.
Humberto Calderon, who is a DJ at Radio Tierra in Hood River and who also owns the Novedades El Potrillo store on the Heights, saw Jose's mother walk into his store one January day. Calderon, who says he has known Jose and his family for about 15 years, immediately got a bad feeling.
"Usually I see her happy," Calderon says of Jose's mother, "but when I saw her face, I knew something was happening."
Calderon remembers seeing the pain in the face of Jose's mother and knew he had to do something.
"If you can do something to help somebody, help somebody," he says.
Calderon began organizing a fundraising drive for Jose, and says nearly 500 people contributed to the effort by either donating money or by purchasing tickets for a raffle Calderon had set up. After about two weeks, Calderon says the community had come up with nearly $7,000.
The money was a good start, but nowhere near the $160,000 Jose's kidnappers had requested for his life. Jose's brother sold off an old Nissan pickup and some ATVs Jose had lying around at his house in Hood River. He tried to see if he could withdraw money from Jose's account at a local bank, but wasn't able to because his name wasn't on the account. Extended family from Chicago and California also sent money for Jose's release, and his brother wired the funds down to their uncle in Morelia in $2,000 and $3,000 increments due to transfer limits. In Mexico, Jose says his aunts and uncles worked on raising funds for his safe return as well, but he didn't know if or when the money would come through.
"My aunts and uncles down in Mexico were getting loans," he says, "but loans can take one week, two weeks, three weeks to get approved."
After the first week, Jose says family members were able to raise somewhere between $50,000 and $60,000. It seemed unlikely they would be able to sustain that pace of fundraising, but if they did, it might be enough to free Jose.
Another threat
Back in the cabin, somewhere on the outskirts of Uruapan, Jose spent his days in silence, in darkness, and in deep contemplation, with days punctuated by a meal, a bathroom break, and an occasional quick call to his brother to see how the collection was going.
"All the time I was there, I went through my life — I can't tell you how many times — thinking about times when I was a kid, thinking about all the things I have done, what things I have done wrong, what things I can do better," Jose remembers. "I mean, when you're in that situation, you just think, 'If I get out of this luckily, I'm going to do things different.'"
The monotony was broken up though, briefly, approximately two weeks into Jose's ordeal when his captors got spooked and decided to move everyone to another location in the area — where exactly, Jose wasn't sure, but he thought it might still be somewhere near Uruapan judging by the short distance he estimated they had traveled.
"We heard the army was nearby and the people were afraid too, because there have been situations where the army comes and tries to take those people down," Jose explains, "and you can get killed too there by the army, because there's shooting and they can't tell who's the good guys and who's the bad guys."
Where are you?
With the three-week deadline looming and no word yet on whether his aunts' and uncles' loans had come through, Jose's prospects were growing dimmer by the day. But he was proud of how he had handled his situation with as much dignity as his captors would allow. He never acted tough or defied his captors, but he never cried either.
About two and a half weeks into his captivity though, he broke down when he was finally allowed to call his wife and daughter. His wife knew the danger Jose was in, but had shielded their daughter from that information.
"I called my wife and I told her I'm okay and then my little girl was there and she said, 'Let me talk to my dad,'" Jose remembers. "I did and I talked to her and she asked, 'Where are you? Why aren't you here?' because she was waiting for me and she knew I had been two, three weeks late and that's when I broke up. The whole time I was there I was strong and I never cried, but when I heard my little girl asking me, 'Where are you?' then that broke me up. That's one thing I will never forget is my daughter asking me where I was and I couldn't tell her — I mean she's a little girl and she doesn't need to know those things."
Jose thought about his little boy, still too young to speak, and how his visit in November may have been both the first and last time he would get to see his child.
"In my mind I would think, 'At least I got to meet him,' if I got killed," Jose recalls.
Cautious optimism
Approximately a day or two before the three weeks were up, the guard gave Jose the phone again to call his brother and see how much money had been gathered. The loans that his aunts and uncles in Mexico had applied for had come through, but they were still half a million pesos short — approximately $40,000 — of where they needed to be.
Jose decided to take a chance and informed one of the guards that his family had collected $1.5 million pesos — around $118,000 — and asked if that would suffice for his release. The guard said he would check.
Jose heard the sound of footsteps coming his way and a voice he thought he recognized as the man who first informed Jose of why he had been kidnapped.
"He said, 'How much money does your family have,'" Jose recalls, "and I said, 'We have a million and a half pesos,' he goes, 'I'm going to give out this name and this place and have one of your family members take it to this place and if that money is correct, then we're going to release you.'
"And that was it," Jose continues, "but I was afraid that even by giving out the money, I would still get killed… because that's most of the cases: out of 10 people that get taken hostage and asked for a reward, eight of them get killed, even by them paying the reward, so lots of other people were thinking the worst here in the community."
For an agonizing two days, Jose waited on the floor, wondering if the "bad people" had received their money, wondering if his uncle had been harmed, wondering if he would be released. Finally, someone approached Jose.
"Get up," a man's voice instructed him. Jose didn't know whether this meant he would be killed or released, but knew he had no other choice but to rise to his feet. He was led outside the cabin and into a vehicle. After a 30-minute drive, they stopped and ordered Jose out of the vehicle and took him inside a new building. His blindfold and handcuffs were released and Jose saw he was in yet another small house. A man in a ski mask handed Jose a new set of clothing and instructed him to go to the bathroom and take a shower, which Jose took as a promising sign.
"At that point, I kind of realized I was going to get released," he says.
The second chance
After a quick shower, a taxi came by 15-20 minutes later and took Jose from the cabin. This time, however, his captors stayed behind. The cabbie said nothing to Jose, who decided not to ask any questions. He was free to look out the window, unbound, as the avocado orchards began to fade away to buildings as they neared what looked like a city.
It was Uruapan.
The driver finally turned into the parking lot of a grocery store after about 20 minutes. There, standing beside their car in one of the parking spaces, were Jose's aunt and uncle.
Jose was free. He got out of the taxi, grabbed his aunt and uncle up in a big hug, and cried.
"I was alive again," Jose says. "That was the second chance in my life."
His aunt and uncle then drove him back to Morelia where more of Jose's family waited eagerly to see him. After visiting for a couple days, his uncle drove Jose to see his wife and kids — this time taking a safer, longer toll road.
"We just hugged and cried," Jose says of his reunion with this family. "I would just hug my baby boy, my wife, my daughter. I was just showing them that I was there and all in one piece."
They spent the next few days at home, relaxing, rarely venturing outside the house. After three days and with a heavy heart, Jose said his goodbyes. He had to go back to the United States, to Hood River, to his home. There was much to do and his mom, dad, sister, brothers, friends, and other family members were waiting for him back in Oregon. Jose waved goodbye to his wife, his daughter and his baby boy, not knowing when he would be able to see them again.
With airfare provided by his family, Jose boarded a plane at the Guadalajara airport and landed in Portland on Feb. 14. He had been gone from the United States almost exactly one month.
Questions and doubts
Jose felt relieved to be alive and back in America, but was also deeply conflicted about his homecoming.
"I felt like I was free, like I was home, like I was safe," he explains, "but at the same time, I was sad that I couldn't go easy back to my country, because it's my country too. I was born down there; that's where my family is. So I was sad I was coming back to the U.S. in that situation."
Although he feels safe in the U.S., Jose doesn't know who kidnapped him — a drug cartel, a gang, a loose consortium of criminals — or why they singled him out. The masked men divulged scant details of their identities and Jose speculates someone may have been watching him either in Mexico or in America. As part of his business, Jose books Latin bands from Mexico to play music at Hispanic clubs in Portland and Seattle. Jose throws out the idea that someone with criminal connections in Mexico may have noticed him at one of the clubs. Perhaps someone at the rental car desk in the airport was paid off or threatened to provide information about his or other American tourists' arrivals. Perhaps it was a random attack, although Jose dismisses that scenario for the most part.
"It seemed like someone was watching me," he says. "I don't think it was a coincidence."
Jose doesn't believe he will ever know the answer. He explains law enforcement can oftentimes be woefully ineffectual and corrupt in Mexico and says the Morelia police "didn't do anything" when his aunt and uncle gave them what little information they had on the details of his capture. All they had was the location of Jose's rental car, which he says his uncle recovered on the side of the road the day after his kidnapping, keys still in the ignition.
While Jose speculates on the method of his kidnapping, others don't believe it happened at all. Jose mentions the rumors he's heard floating around town about his experience, that he orchestrated the story of his kidnapping to try and swindle his family and the community out of their money, or that he needed bail money after getting caught trying to smuggle drugs across the border. The rumors irk Jose, and he cites them as a prime motivator for sharing this story. He says though that most people have been supportive and wanted to thank all of the businesses and people who helped free him.
"Most of the Hispanic community was really cooperative with the whole situation and I'm really pleased with them," he says warmly. "They brought me back to life."
Jose acknowledges his story may sound incredulous to some, but notes kidnappings and homicides are all-too frequent occurrences in Mexico. He hopes people will keep his story in mind when traveling south of the border. He also hopes people will recognize the plight of Mexican immigrants — both legal and illegal — who come to the U.S. not just to look for work, but more often, to escape the violence.
Lou DeSitter, who recently retired after serving for 18 years as the deacon of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Hood River, agrees. For decades, DeSitter has helped Hispanic families who have had loved ones deported to Mexico by writing waiver letters to immigration officials, offering up extenuating circumstances in the hopes they will be allowed to return to the United States. Often, he says, the fear of killings and kidnappings are cited as chief reasons for why they want to leave Mexico.
"It happens all the time," he says of the kidnappings. "It is commonplace."
During one Sunday mass at St. Mary's earlier this year, DeSitter says he was delivering a homily to the congregation and asked they pray for a member of the community who had also supposedly been kidnapped in Mexico. After the service, he found Jose's father outside.
"Jose's dad was crying on the stairs of the church and said, 'My son's been kidnapped too,'" DeSitter remembers.
A few weeks later, after Jose had been released, DeSitter saw Jose's father again at mass.
"Right after the homily I asked, 'How is your son doing?' and he said, 'He's free,' and gave me a big ol' smile," DeSitter says.
Though he doesn't know Jose personally, DeSitter says he's known his father for over 25 years.
"His father's tears don't lie," he says.
A price for life
Since returning to the United States almost six months ago, Jose has tried to move on with his life as best he can. He's resumed his event promotion business and is trying to still send money to his wife and kids in Mexico while paying off the tens of thousands of dollars he owes to friends and family.
Every night though, Jose is haunted by the memories of his trip to Michoacán. He lies awake in bed, thinking of the man who was killed. He has good days and bad days. On good days, Jose conducts his business as usual. On bad days, he is paralyzed with anxiety and finds it difficult to leave his home. Jose started therapy in late June to help deal with his traumatic experience and hopes telling his story will aid in the healing process. His debt from the ransom though, ensures the memory of his captivity stays fresh.
"It reminds me every day of that situation," he says. "I can't forget about it yet. I was telling (my therapist) that I will feel better once I don't owe anybody about this."
In the nearly six months since he returned from his ordeal, Jose has not been back to Mexico. Cartel violence has escalated in Michaoacán in the past few months, most notably last week when the vice admiral of Mexico's navy was assassinated just 90 minutes from the home of Jose's aunt and uncle. Traveling to Jose's home state is more dangerous than ever.
Jose desperately wants to see his wife and kids, but considering the kidnapping, he can't bring himself to enter Mexico. Separated from his wife and kids indefinitely, saddled with debt, and tormented by the memories of what happened in Michoacán — Jose is alive, but it has come at a great cost.
"I'm not at peace," he says. "It feels like I'm dead in life… I feel like I'm just floating on the air."

Chess: Srinath, Gagare steal show in round two
Kolkata - International Master N. Srinath and double IM norm holder Shardul Gagare hogged the limelight defeating David Alberto of Italy and Ahmed Adly of Egypt respectively in the second round of Rose Valley open International Chesstournament here Tuesday.
The important victories for these youngsters in the early stage of the tournament have set the stage for them to vie for their respective norms even as the road ahead is only going to get tougher.
On a day the higher ranked stars found it difficult against Indian opposition, top seed GM Radoslav Wojtaszek of Poland and local stalwart Surya Shekhar Ganguly however, kept their head high.
Wojtaszek had to work hard for the second day running before he could cruise home against M Shyam Sundar while Ganguly had it easy against Shreyansh Shah.
Former World junior champion and fourthseed GM Abhijit Gupta (2662), did not take any risk against Russian GM Alexander Fominyh after the latter played it too safe with his white pieces. Arriving late for the game, Fominyh was lucky just by a few seconds not to concede a walkover.
It turned out to be a tough day for second seed Anton Korobov of Ukraine who was held to a draw by IM Vishnu Prasanna.
Title aspirant Ganguly did not have to sweat much to overcome Shreyans K. Shah who played white.
One of the lower ranked players of the tournament, Shah opened with King's pawn which is also the favorite opening of 5-time World Champion V. Anand.
Working as Anand's second for last four years, Ganguly took little time to get an advantage in the middle game and romped home in just 27 moves.

Some were runners. Others were friends and family members of those hurt in the blasts. And two, the Norden brothers, sat wheelchair-bound near the spot where they each lost a leg.
But, one month after the Boston Marathon bombings, the dozens gathered in the Back Bay on a rainy Wednesday evening carrying signs and donning "Boston Strong" T-shirts descended on Boylston Street with a purpose: to finish the race.
More than a dozen Marathon runners crossed the freshly painted yellow and blue finish line, the place where a deadly attack left 3 dead, more than 250 injured, and hundreds more stopped precious miles short of finishing the Marathon, as they tried to bring themselves some form of emotional closure.
"Four hours, 50 minutes, and 31 days," declared Sharon Novick of South Boston, as she crossed the finish line just after 5 p.m. and embraced a group of friends who had come to watch her complete her first Marathon a month after she began it. Wearing her bright blue and yellow Marathon shirt, Novick reached to wipe a tear from her eye as half a dozen friends engulfed her in embraces just feet from where the bombs went off.
The most dramatic finish came at 6:38 p.m., as a light rain began to fall from an overcast sky. Boston police shut down traffic and set up a tent over the the finish line and wheeled out J.P. Norden, 33, and Paul Norden, 31, brothers from Stoneham who each lost a leg in the attacks.
As the brothers were encircled by dozens of other runners, friends, family members, and first responders, about 10 walkers, laboring each step and some wiping tears from their eyes, made their way into sight.
With broad smiles, the brothers sat at the finish line as their friends and family, who had walked the Marathon's length in their honor, slowly approached.
Soon, Paul was lifting himself off the wheelchair seat, straining to get a glimpse as they strode closer.
Clad in T-shirts and sweatpants, the group set off from the Marathon starting line in Hopkinton at 9 a.m. and walked all 26.2 miles in honor of the Norden brothers, who are receiving treatment for their injuries at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston.
"This is our city, the greatest city around," said Peter Brown, the Norden brothers' uncle, who helped organize the walk and blamed too many slices of pizza for his position at the rear of the walking group.
"We're taking back the streets of Boston."
With a block to go, the group, which included two of the Nordens' sisters and many of their close friends, broke into a jog and then filed one by one into the arms of each brother, crowning them with the Marathon completion medals they never received in April, as a swarm of family members and friends that had gathered at the finish line broke into a "Stoneham Strong" cheer.
"This is unbelievable. To have my friends and family do this for me is unbelievable, but not surprising," said J.P. Norden, moments after the group met him at the finish line.
"I know I'd do the same for them."
'This is our city, the greatest city around. We're taking back the streets of Boston.'
"I don't know if I'd do this for them," his brother Paul jokingly chimed in with a chuckle as his family surrounded him for another photo.
"This isn't really just for us. It's for Boston. It's for all of Boston."Wesley Lowery can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @WesleyLowery.

Quick Tips: Cemetery Photography
1. Get permission from the cemetery owners to visit if you're visiting a private cemetery. Keep in mind state laws regarding cemeteries on private land in order to know their rights and yours. For instance, Missouri requires that the property owner allow you reasonable access to the cemetery during reasonable hours of the day. (Link)
2. Get a long mirror to angle the sun towards the stone. This will help make the inscription clearer. Turn off your flash as that tends to only create a glare, and be prepared to write down what you see in case no amount of computer editing makes the photo reveal the whole inscription. (Note: I've found taking color pictures and then converting to black and white can help legibility.)
3. If you have to clean the stone in order to see the inscription, use water (the less chemicals in it the better) and a SOFT bristle brush. Gently wipe away the residue.
4. DO NOT use shaving cream to read the stone. Chemicals will only increase the weathering of the inscription.
5. Upload the photo to Findagrave for other relatives to find.

I like the tip about the mirror - obvious now you've mentioned it but would never of thought of it myself! I quite agree that no matter what you do, sometimes the inscription just doesn't want to come out on a photograph. I always write down everything on the gravestone whenever I take a photo, this way I can be sure I have everything and I am not relying on memory when I get home.
I must ask, why shaving cream?
Suzie C (UK)
Use of shaving cream on tombstones will fill in the inscription, providing contrast. There are arguments for and against using it. However, I'm of the opinion that I'd much rather not risk putting it on stone that might be porous and harm it.ReplyDelete
There are other ways to make things clearer, and I've had good success using a combination of water, photography, and writing down what I see.
- Suzie CFebruary 24, 2011 at 5:41 AM
Thanks for that, I've never heard of using shaving foam over here in the UK! I personally wouldn't use it either. Thank you for making us aware of the problems and offering some tried and tested solutions.ReplyDelete

Tax season is here, and if you are one of
the lucky ones, you may get a tax refund this year. Whether you've already
received it or are eagerly awaiting it, it's tempting to view this refund as "free money," but keep in mind, this is
really just your money that the government is returning, so you should not
necessarily treat it as a windfall, according to Christa Comeaux, assistant
vice president with Lakeside Bank.
"Many people get their money and immediately spend it all on a
shopping spree or vacation, without stopping to think about how wiser financial
choices could be turned into many more shopping sprees and vacations in their
future," Comeaux says.
To truly
take advantage of your refund with your overall finances in mind, Comeaux
recommends that taxpayers consider these suggestions:
a rainy day fund for emergencies. Ideally, you would have three to six
months' worth of expenses saved, just in case you or your spouse face an
unexpected crisis, such as losing a job. Rainy day funds also come in handy for
large, unplanned expenses. Once you start it, try to contribute a portion of
your income every month. It doesn't take much to bulk up a savings account,
especially with a hefty head start that a refund can provide.
down debt.
Use your tax refund to take care of any bills you are behind on paying. This is a wise choice any time you have extra
money and outstanding debt. Paying
down credit card debt is one of the best
ways to improve your credit score.
on your mortgage payment. Extra payments reduce the longevity of the loan and
ultimately save you money. Just one extra payment each year could reduce the
life of the loan by up to six years in for most loans.
care of the things you've been putting off. If you've been delaying repairs or
purchases, such as new tires, servicing your car, upgrading appliances or
starting a college fund due to lack of finances, this is a great way to use
your tax refund .
Invest. Just like starting a rainy day fund, investing
your tax refund may not provide any immediate reward but can help you be
financially prepared for the future.
"There are numerous
ways that consumers can use their refund to its fullest potential. Some are
practical and some are not-so-practical. It's ultimately up to the consumer to
decide what to do with their refund money," Comeaux says. "There's certainly
nothing wrong with doing something
for yourself, but as you make plans for this money, keep your bigger financial
picture in mind."

I sense that Belgian beers are like jazz. Most people who appreciate good beer know it's good. We get blonde vs dark, low abv vs high. Then there's other nuances, and knowledge to be gained. Then there is the swirling vortex of deep philosophical debate over terminology, which usually is reserved seating only by invitation. I'm in the "me like Belgian styles" mob, as indicated by my love of Elysian Bete Blanche triple and Sierra Nevada Ovila quad. Both probably not true triple, quad, or Belgian.
As I think somebody else mentioned, La Trappe calls their big dark beer a Quadrupel and I think they were the first to use the term in marketing. They aren't in Belgium though. I don't believe the term was intended to distinguish La Trappe Quad from other BDSA on the market just to improve marketing of their product along with the dubbel and tripel labels. +1. Just a marketing term.
In my pea brain the Belgians are Blonde, tripple and strong on the light colored sideDubel, quad and dark strong on the dark side Might find cherry or plum in the quad Its keeps it simple so I can understand it "Freedom is temporary unless you are also Brave!" - Patriot

|Deep Throat TV
Short review: This site could use a makeover. Nevertheless, I'd be lying if I told you I didn't enjoy my stay at Deep Throat TV . They've managed to put together a nice mess of god-gobbling videos, and included enough bonus sites to make-up for their less than adequate construction. I was also impressed with the degree of confidence they showed on their sign-up, on which they point out just how easy cancelling your membership really is. I can't recall very many sites doing that. Hell, most of them seem to try their hardest to make sure the terms are as cryptic as possible. All in all, I think this is a great deal for the more perverted of deep-throat enthusiasts.
Content Amount: 118 videos. Sadly, there are no pictures whatsoever. Well, not unless you count a handful of thumbnails that function as video links.
