Michael Bay Tribute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJes7Etbkzw
Last night I was at a sold out showing at my local IMAX 3D theater, and I have to say that the movie was easily the best out of all three!
I really liked the intro, before the title came on. Great great GREAT way to open up the movie's storyline, and the entire theater was in applause after it ended. My only complaint about it was the miniature robot war going on, because I would have liked to see those robots full size going at it.
I loved all the scenes in the NEST command center and Autobots hanger, especially when Optimus was pissed off that the humans had known about the ship on the moon. Those really helped set the tone for the movie.
The humor is this movie was a lot funnier than anything in Revenge of the Fallen. The part where Sam is trying to start his car in front of Dylan was freakin' hilarious! I also really liked the part where he's trying to go to the NEST command center and the guards up front won't let him in, and then he calls Bee and says "THAT'S my car!" So good! All the job interviews that Sam went through were great. I really liked the John Malkovich scene with the job interview, but not the scene where he saw Bumblebee. Ken Jeong's scenes were also really funny. I really like Agent Simmons' Dutch sidekick. The scene in the Russian bar was great, too. The only other thing I can think of that I didn't like was Agent Simmons' interview with Bill O'Reilly. That was kind of annoying to me.
The highway chase scene was phenomenal!!! I was on the edge of my seat, holding on the entire time! Very well done there, Michael Bay! I was so scared the whole time, thinking "SHOOT! WHAT IF THEY GET SENTINEL! NOOOOO C'MON GUYS GET OUT OF THERE!" It was crazy, definitely one of the most intense and thrilling scenes in the entire franchise. The entire theater erupted in applause when Sam went flying through the air and Bee transforms, grabs him, and then transforms back into car form.
Then, right after the intense car chase sequence, the fast paced scene in the NEST command center really showed a sense of urgency. I was so worried that they wouldn't get Sentinel to a safe, hidden location. But then...HE FREAKIN' BETRAYS THEM! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! Wow. I was speechless and watched with my jaw dropped as he brutally murdered Ironhide. Unbelievable. Fantastic job with that twist. My entire theater was silent when that happened, so I think everyone was in shock. And the fact that it came after such a fast paced, thrilling scene where you WANTED Sentinel to be safe. That was just...wow.
I was thinking, "Man, s**t just got real..." But then, the moment was almost spoiled with the little bits of comedy that were added. I mean, I know we're supposed to have fun in a summer blockbuster, but the scene with Sam's parents was unnecessary, especially after what just happened in the story. I think those could have been cut out and replaced with some more emotion and reaction to Ironhide's death and the betrayal.
I really liked how Sentinel's character became pure evil after that, though. The way he bossed around Megatron was just like "Shoot. This guy is pure evil!" And that made the audience hate him and start to care about what happens in the story. His character was really well done. No complaints from me at all.
I didn't like the scene where the Autobots were being exiled. But, then again, I don't like scenes like that in ANY movie. It's mainly because I know they're going to come back, so I don't feel anything. The only thing I was curious about though was how they would come back if their ship blew up.
I really liked Lennox and Epps in this movie. Both of them have been fantastic throughout the franchise and I'm glad that they both got to see a lot of action in this movie!
Another thing I REALLY liked was Sam's character in this movie. Wow, he has really matured. He responded very well to everything that was happening around him and I'm so happy that he finally "became a man" in this movie. He wasn't a kid anymore. The way he stormed into the NEST command center to warn everyone about the coming threat. The way he tried to get Carly back in DC, and then in Chicago. The way he killed Starscream and fought off Dylan on his own! Great stuff. I've always liked him throughout the trilogy and Shia did a fantastic job with the character in this movie.
I was not sure what to expect from Rosie going into this movie. I mean, if she was just a replacement for Megan Fox, then she would have served no purpose other than eye candy. The relationship between Sam and Mikaela in the first two movies was pretty bogus to me. But, man! The relationship between Sam and Carly was ten times better! Shia had better chemistry with Rosie than he ever did with Fox, and I enjoyed every scene that she was in! She was beautiful and had more of a classy type of sex appeal that Fox never had. I loved her accent and her character was so much more likable than Mikaela. AND, I love that she was the one of mess with Megatron's head, telling him that he would just end up as Sentinel's b*tch if he let him get his way. She was awesome!
The last fight scene in Chicago was awesome, just plain awesome. Everything went great. I was genuinely worried during the execution scene, though! I thought Bee was going to die right there in front of Sam!!! Holy crap, if that did happen I don't know how I would have reacted. So much emotion going on in that scene. Shockwave wasn't really as bad as he was made out to be in the promotional stuff, in my opinion. And, just like with Revenge of the Fallen, the fight at the very end between Sentinel, Megatron, and Optimus went too fast. It didn't feel like an "epic showdown" because of how quick it was over with. Although, I did love how Optimus wrecked both of them! So great to see that and him being set out to kill all the Decepticons after all the events that went down in this movie. Loved it.
I just have one question because this is a flaw in the plot that one of my friends pointed it out that I can't seem to think of an explanation for. If Sentinel is the only one who can activate the pillars, how was Dylan able to activate one just by touching it? And the other Decepticons around the globe, too? If anyone could answer that, I'd really appreciate it!
Another thing I didn't like was how abruptly it ended. I felt like there could have been more closure, rather than "Fight's over guys, let's end the movie right here." Even if it was something like the first two movies, like how everyone went back to their normal lives in the first one or when they were all on the ship in the second one. It just felt way too quick to me, especially since this is the last movie in the trilogy.
Overall, I thought the movie was fantastic. It did not disappoint me, despite my high expectations and how much I had hyped myself up. Definitely my favorite in the trilogy, and I loved that it had a much darker and more serious tone than the first two, because it felt like the franchise had matured overall. I loved it. It was my first 3D movie since Avatar, and the only reason being is I was not impressed with the 3D in Avatar (which I also saw in IMAX 3D). This movie, while it looked really cool with some of the 3D shots, still didn't impress me that much. I think I would have enjoyed it just as much as I would have in 2D IMAX. But I guess that just means that I'm one of those guys that will never be a fan of 3D.
My final score for the movie: 9/10.
Thank you, Michael Bay and all of your cast and crew. You guys did a fantastic job and put out a quality production for all us fans that did not disappoint and lived up to all the hype. I know you guys had as much of a blast making it as we did and will watching it. The time and effort that was put into this movie to make it the best it could be is admirable and I have nothing but respect for you and the cast and crew. You guys rock!
I plan on seeing it at least two more times in theaters. Definitely one showing in 2D, and probably one in RealD 3D instead of IMAX 3D.
Check my review a few posts back. I'll probably be seeing it again (in IMAX this time)Originally Posted by Optimash Prime

In all honesty, i think there would be two things i would change with DOTM
1) Switch Hide for the twins.... (2 birds with one cannon shot)
2) show us Wheelie & Brains after the ship went down...

Problem here is nobody would have cared if the twins bit the dust. Ironhide is a character we care about.Originally Posted by SDL

I wonder if well ever see the shots of the twins in that back alley or anything with Megan Fox on the DVD. I remember in the YouTube video someone took of the twins in the alley there were dumpsters with "Go home Autobots" on it. I wonder what happened to that too. The Autobots got kicked out but it wasn't humans rioting over it. Maybe script changes.
Don S Davis 1942-2008
Watched it earlier today in 3D. What an absolute thrill ride!
Amazing movie, I felt like it had alot of heart, to go along with the amazing visuals. I feel the 3D is definately the best yet, I hope the majority of the audience chooses to see it this way.
If I live to be a 100 I don't think I'll ever see anything to match the balls to the wall action of the last hour or so DOTM. Michael has set the bar so high.
I stayed away from the internet for the most part for the last several weeks, so I haven't been spoiled by anything. So Sentinel Prime's betrayal was a nice twist for me, the way he brutalised Ironhide out of nowhere really did take me by suprise. Nimoy's performance was perfect for this character, I think Sentinel is a great villain because he's not just evil for the sake of it you can see where he's coming from, and why he decides to betray his brothers.
I thought all the robot screen time was well done, and I like that even background characters like Dino, and Que got a chance to shine. The Decepticons were built up well this time, and when the Autobots arrived to save the day I really was ready to see the Con's get what they had coming to them.
I felt the movie also had some of the best emotional moments since the first film. Sam's crying at saying his goodbyes to Prime, and Bumblebee was wonderfully executed I thought. As were the scenes of Que being executed, and Bumblebee coming so close. I did think he was going to bite it then.
Shockwave was very different to what I was expecting, but he was still very imposing with his driller bot.
Megatron was also great in this I thought, and I loved his interaction with Carly near the end. And ofcourse when he takes out Sentinel I thought that was another good twist. And then when Prime takes Megatron out once and for all it truly capped off the end of an era.
On the human side of things I thought Shia was great as always, Rosie did very well, loved her accent. And Patrick Dempsey played a great asshole role.
My only gripe is the same as many others, not enough time spent after Ironhides death. And perhaps the scen with the parents could have been cut for a moment of reflection.
Overall though I absolutely loved this film, the best visuals I've ever seen, with a solid coherent story, with chacters I love. I'll give this a 9 out of 10 can't wait to catch this again in IMAX next week.
I'd just like to say thanks to Bay, and his crew and all the actors for their hard work over the last several years. They've given us quite a ride over this trio of movies, and I for one can't wait to see where Michael's career takes him next.
I agree, it might end up in the directors cut or DVD extra's
FWIW, I really enjoyed DoTM - it was light years better than TF2, but I actually kind of liked TF1 better for the newness of seeing the TF in action and the "wonder" involved.
That having been said TF3 was funny, well-paced (I never checked my watch like I did twice during TF2) and had some classic lines (my favorite being the one about Cyrillic looking like all the keys you never use on a calculator. )
Rosie did a wonderful job, IMHO, acting circles around Megan Fox.
My only disappointment was that the end just seemed a little abrupt, like we could have used a little coda perhaps with his Mom asking Carly if Sam had indeed read the book she gave him, or perhaps one showing that Sam finally got a decent job, perhaps from Mearing, or that Brazos gave him a real job.
Not a full coda, just a little extra beat in the end credits like the Simmons/Mearing scene.
Loved the use of "Sweet Emotion" and didn't expect to actually see Buzz Aldrin!
Also what looked like an appearance by The Tree from TF1 and Armageddon
Freaking robots, and I never played with Transformers or watched the cartoon series so have no emotional baggage associated with or backhround with them other than what I know from the past two films.
I also would have preferred it if instead of having left Sam, Mikaela would have been revealed to have been killed in a motorcycle crash that was revealed to be one of the Decepticons' "suicides."
"The Tree" meaning the scraggly tree that the animal crackers scene in Armageddon and one of the scenes with Sam and Mikaela in TF1 took place under.
Oh, of course my favorite line of the movie was when they had Nimoy as Sentinel recite the "Needs of the many" line from Wrath of Khan.
Surprisingly enough I seemed to be the only one near me that laughed, like it just passed over the heads of most of the audience; awesome in-joke for Trek fans, though.
I liked it the intro was cool but i must say my favorite scene is the dreads car chase they were on a mission and one of them looked like predator but my favorite character now is Sideswipe he was awesome but i think a reduction of some of the humor and talking that wasnt so funny should have been used on the bots.
BTW, the effects leave it open to intepretation, so what do most think - did Cybertron simply return to where it came from, or was it destroyed?
It's not unlike postulating about the fate of Nero and the Romulan ship at the end of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek
My first 3D film and i was kinda dissapointed. not as good as i thought it would be, some scenes were just blurry and some were messy. wont be seeing it again in 3d.
film was a 5/10 for me. no back story on new bots as promised, soldiers taking down decepticons with regular weapons.
what were all the ships and robots doing just hiding on the moon? where did they all suddenly arrive from?
liked sams parents in this one, thank fuck his mother was calmed down.
loved sentinel.
loved that bay misled everyone into thinking shockwave was the big bad guy but was really a useless prick and sentinel was the main dude.
got worried when bee had the gun to the head, really thought he was toast, awesome when he just and beat the shit out of soundwave.
also worried about prime when sentinel had him at end.
prime is just bad ass.
Alrighty then...just got back from seeing DOTM...in 2D.
First and foremost, it's beyond my comprehension how anyone could not love this movie.
The story is really good.
The plotline was sound (except for a few minor hiccups).
The action was pure insanty.
And there was more Transformer footage in DOTM than TF1 and TF2 combined...X5....at least.
The opening sequence on Cybertron was worth the price of admission by itself.
I'd put it right up there with 'Revenge of the Sith' as the best opening of any movie...ever.
I have no idea how ILM was able to get that much craziness done that fast.
They must've been working on it before ROTF even came out.
I will definitely be seeing it again this weekend...and at least a couple more times after that.
Bravo Michael Bay...this is as good as it gets!!
Transform and...make a BILLION DOLLARS!
One thing about the 'weak Megatron' complainers.
Did you watch the movie?
After Optimus fought Sentinel for quite a while, SP was about to kill OP...
Then 'Poor Weak Megatron' came in and beat the living shit out of SP...leaving him so weak that he could not put up any fight when OP executed him.
On that subject...I suppose my main problem would be that OP was basically a boticidal maniac in the last 1/2 hour or so. The way he acted was far different from what we've seen from him, both in G1 form and the previous films.
A minor complaint only.
I wouldn't want to take the spotlight away from the bevy of whiners in this thread.
Transform and...make a BILLION DOLLARS!
I liked it a lot, and so did my friend. But I have to see it one more time to get the full rating. But really I thought it was great, a superb improvement over ROTF and probably equal with the original, maybe a bit better. I loved the action scenes, and the story was better. I loved the humour with Sam's new job. And anything with optimus was good. Although I was hoping for a little more with Sentinal VS Optimus, it was still very good. I was on the edge of my seat. I can't believe Ironhide died did not see that coming. Aside from a few problems, I loved it. Almost forgot, I really liked Rosie more than Megan. Her personality was far more likeable. And she is very beutiful. Thanks Mr. Bay for another fun trip to the movies, you thrill your audiences.
"Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing." - Optimus Prime
Punk ass decepticons
I wonder if they burned too many of their bridges by killing off all the major villains. (Even Starscream gets axed!) I don't think there's anyone LEFT to use for Part 4, besides Unicron.
Yeah, or people were saying Galvatron?
"Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing." - Optimus Prime
Punk ass decepticons
Plot holes that still exist or things that make no sense
1. Remaining decepticons around the world
2. Optimus said the matrix can bring life back to the autobots if they die. But did not use it on ironhide or care about it.
3. If only optimus can reactivate sentinel prime, how did megatron make the deal with sentinel. on cybertron?
4. Bumblebee STILL can't speak after being on earth for years. How does this make any sense? I was really really hoping bumblebee could pull his voice out for his goodbye to sam when boarding the spaceship to leave earth
5. How was sentinel a firetruck before he has ever seen earth? also didn't make sense
6. wheelie and brains disappear after the crash. were they dead or no?
7. Megatron was still injured from optimus battle years back, (college was over, so atleast 2-4 years) and he still isn't repaired or weak. Does this mean optimus will never have his arm back?
reading through here I too agree with some of the points made,such as why it ended so and why Ironhide was not mention afterwards. My question is why did we not see Peter Cullen appear in the movie as Optimus in the flesh. There is where I am just a little disappointed and too that there was not more at the end of the movie or any hint is to where the autobots go from here or anything.
Earlier today I went to watch it again, but sad though now that it's apparently over.
Where do the Autobots go from here?

Doncaster residents have just a few days left to clear surplus paint from sheds, garages and cupboards as part of a nationwide recycling scheme.
Kick Out The Can offers customers the chance to return surplus paint to their local Crown Decorating Centre on Carr Industrial Estate, until May 6. As a reward, they will receive a 20 per cent discount voucher.
The scheme will see donated paint re-processed by social enterprise company Nimtech before distribution to community projects in partnership with regeneration charity Groundwork. Leftover plastic and metal paint containers will also be recycled.
Mark Lloyd, Sustainability Manager for Crown Decorating Centres, said: "Last year Kick Out The Can was a huge success - we joined forces with Climate Week to encourage recycling and were really pleased with the response.
"Now we're urging people to take advantage of the last few days of the initiative and donate their unwanted paint to a good cause.
"Customers can bring up to 10 containers on each visit before the end of the campaign. Statistics tell us there is around 54 million litres of unused paints being stored across the country so we're hoping to see plenty of cans brought into store.
"The returned paint will be sent to our headquarters for re-processing by social enterprise Nimtech. The paint will then be distributed to community projects and charitable efforts nationwide by regeneration charity Groundwork.
"Last year we helped transform communal gardens, park benches and youth centres along with providing paint for a social housing apprenticeship scheme.
"Kick Out The Can falls in with our company-wide sustainability ethos and, to reward our customers for choosing to recycle their paint, we're offering a 20 per cent discount voucher for the next time they shop in-store."
The initiative will allow customers to recycle unwanted paints and woodcare products up to May 6 in return for a 20 per cent discount voucher which can be used until July 31, 2014.

I would also like the 1st-4th-child's of the packages to have rounded top corners, however I cannot seem to implement this. The reason why I cannot simply set one for them all is due to needing to have two separate columns for each one at this moment in time, one is hidden for the accordion.

The Icelandic band's sixth studio album (and first in four years) finds them returning to the glacially slow, mostly instrumental ambient-rock epics of their earlier records, but with a much less dynamic and more subdued overall sound. With the exception of "Varuo," the powerful crescendos of those earlier records are mostly absent here. That said, a few songs here are as moving as their best work, combining stately piano, celestial synths, sweeping orchestration, angelic wordless harmonies and Jonsi's soaring falsetto into tranquil hymns of pure beauty. 5/24/2012 - Don Yates

TORONTO — If there's a way to bridge the cultural and religious gaps in the Middle East and achieve peace between Jews, Muslims and Christians, it might be found through music.
At least that's the belief at Soundstreams, a Toronto-based non-profit centre dedicated to discovering and presenting new Canadian musical compositions and artists. It's celebrating its 30th anniversary with a concert dedicated to Jerusalem.
Titled The Three Faces of Jerusalem, the Jan. 27 performance at Koerner Hall will feature an eclectic mix of world music representing the three Abrahamic faiths of the region.
Scheduled to represent Judaism are internationally renowned Sephardi vocalist, Paris-based Françoise Atlan, and Israeli oud master Yair Dalal.
They'll be joined on stage by Palestinian-Canadian singer Roula Said, Montreal-based Persian sitar player Kiya Tabassian, viola de gamba player Pierre-Yves Martel, percussionist Ben Grossman and conductor David Fallis, among others.
Canadian composer James Rolfe will also premiere his Five and a Half Bridges, a musical ode to the quest for peace in the Middle East.
Lawrence Cherney, artistic director and founder of Soundstreams, said the anniversary concert has been in the works for two years and is about fostering peace through music.
"When we originally developed this concert, we had no idea of the significance it would have, given the current political climate in the Middle East," Cherney said. "Each of the artists who have agreed to participate has illustrated an ongoing commitment to use music and collaboration as a way of bringing people together."
Speaking to The CJN from New York last week, Cherney said he hoped the show's audience would come away with a renewed sense of hope for the Middle East.
"The presentation will explore Jerusalem's roots and the heritages of all three religions," he said. "Despite periods of strife in the region… there have been times when all three [religions] have got along, and in a way, they're all joined at the hip. There were periods, especially in medieval times, where if you heard two songs written in Jerusalem, aside from one in Arabic and the other in Hebrew, one wouldn't know what culture you were hearing.
"The program never had a political agenda. But it has the belief that art and music can bring people together and bridge the gaps between cultures."
Reached in Paris last week, Atlan told The CJN she was looking forward to working with the other musicians at the event.
Of particular interest to her is the opportunity to work with Dalal, whom she said she has been in contact with ever since the two met in Israel last year and promised each other they would eventually collaborate on a project.
"This will be a nice meeting between artists. All artists on this project present a bridge for one another. We are all artists with specific identities and we will put these all together," Atlan said.
She is also eager to return to Toronto to perform for the community. She will be singing in Hebrew, Ladino and Arabic, though, as of last week, the specific songs for the gig remained up in the air, she said.
The artists are scheduled to gather in Toronto starting Jan. 23 to choose and rehearse their set lists in the run-up to the show.

'(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum' Gets a Music Video With Jimmy Kimmel, Jamie Foxx, Miley Cyrus + More [VIDEO]
Back in February on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!,' actor Jamie Foxx performed a song (with a little help from the show's host) for Channing Tatum with the double-entendre title '(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum.'
Well that little diddy, originally performed only on a piano, now has an official music video, and features help from Olivia Munn, Gabourey Sidibe, and Miley Cyrus. And, of course, some Matt Damon thrown in for good measure.
With lyrics like this, you know it has to be good: "When you're splashing in the water and you think you might drown / Channing tosses you his noodle and he calms your ass down / And just what? Huh? / He just Channinged all over your Tatum."
The music video itself features Munn and Sidibe dancing and singing in rooms full of Channing Tatum paraphernalia, while everyone's favorite new DILF raps about his "magic mike," Foxx sings dirty and Jimmy Kimmel gets it oh so wrong.
The clip also features Miley Cyrus trapped under a vending machine, so — depending on how you feel about her — there's that to look forward to. (This whole thing also solves the mystery involing why she was wearing a Channing shirt last week with those awful dual-personality pants.)

When dieters think about foods to avoid, mashed potatoes are usually at the top of the list. But who wants to give up the creamy, buttery taste of whipped potatoes—especially at Thanksgiving or at other festive holiday meals? It's true that potatoes have a bad reputation among dieters. But it is possible to eat healthy mashed potatoes and still stick to your diet for weight loss.

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

Are mashed potatoes healthy? Potatoes are not necessarily bad for you if you are trying to lose weight. Potatoes are naturally low in fat and high in both potassium and vitamin C. Of course, potatoes are starchy, so people who are following a low-carb diet may want to avoid them. But if you are counting calories, potatoes aren't a bad choice.

There are only about 100 calories in a potato. But the size of your potato can vary, so if you're not careful, the calorie count can skyrocket. A medium potato is about the size of your fist. The baked potato you get at a steak house can be 2-3 times that size.

If you want to keep potatoes on your plate when you're losing weight, you can do so. And mashed potatoes are okay, too, as long as you're careful about portion size and preparation methods.

How to Keep Mashed Potatoes Healthy

Even though plain potatoes are low in calories, mashed potatoes aren't always healthy. A traditional homemade serving of mashed potatoes can contain 237 calories or more when they are prepared with butter and whole milk. Some chefs even prepare mashed potatoes with heavy cream, which drives the fat and calorie count higher. And if you top your potatoes with gravy, then your total intake could exceed 400 calories.

If you're eating in a restaurant, assume that the mashed potatoes are made with high fat and high calories ingredients, unless stated otherwise on the menu. Higher fat ingredients make potatoes taste better. Instead, order a plain baked potato and mash it with salt and pepper (use your fork) to keep the calorie count in control.

But if you're eating at home, try making a healthier version of whipped potatoes with less fat. There are a few different swaps and tricks you can use to cut calories and make your mashed potatoes more healthy.

Blend cauliflower with the potatoes to get a buttery flavor with fewer carbs

Whip potatoes with Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream to get a creamy consistency

Add chicken stock to get a creamy texture when you mash potatoes at home

Add creative seasonings like garlic, paprika or ranch style salad dressing to give your mashed potatoes more zest.

Use olive oil instead of butter for creamy potatoes (note: the calorie count will still be high but butter is a source of saturated fat and olive oil is a good source of monounsaturated fat which is considered to be a healthier fat.)

Use butter buds instead of butter for flavor

Use low-fat milk instead of cream to whip the potatoes

Try a garlic mashed potato recipe for a dish with more flavor

Healthy Mashed Potato Recipes

You can make creamy, buttery, delicious mashed potatoes that will satisfy your cravings and keep your family healthy. Don't be afraid to stray from the traditional family recipe. Use one of these recipes for a low-calorie mashed potato, garlic potato, and mashed cauliflower for fresh, new healthy taste.

Lastly, remember that portion control is essential. A single serving of mashed potatoes is just one cup. It's easy to serve more than that when you heap them onto your plate. Take one small serving and try not to go back for seconds. Save your calories for the pumpkin pie and your waistline will thank you.

Nine jurors were seated by Wednesday afternoon in the trial of 38-year-old Jerry Lard. The process of picking jurors began on Monday and has been slow.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Lard, who they say killed Trumann police officer Jonathan Schmidt in April 2011 following a traffic stop.
The Jonesboro Sun reported defense attorneys acknowledge Lard caused Schmidt's death, but argue he shouldn't be found guilty of capital murder because of mental disease or defect.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys are scheduled to resume their questioning of prospective jurors Thursday.
The trial in Greene County Circuit Court is expected to last into next week.

text: I thought it would be interesting to compare how Federer and Nadal performed after completing the career Grand Slam. Federer achieved this at the 2009 French Open. Nadal achieved this at the 2010 U.S. Open. Consequently, I will compare the two years after their win. From after the 2009 French Open to just after the 2011 French Open, Federer won 2 Grand Slams, and reached 2 Grand Slam finals. He also won 1 Year End Championships and 2 Masters Series tournaments. In all he won 8 tournaments and lost in 8 other tournament finals. From the 2010 U.S. Open to just after the 2012 U.S. Open, Nadal won 2 Grand Slams, and reached 3 Grand Slam finals. He won 3 Masters Series tournaments. In all he won 8 tournaments and lost in 9 other tournament finals. It is quite remarkable how similar Federer and Nadal's performances were after each won the career Grand Slam.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I love to take pictures and more recently of wildlife and I have a few cameras and to be honest it is a slight obsession of mine to keep buying them.
I love Canon I find they offer the best cameras there is and some might disagree but this cameras the Canon PowerShot A495 is one I really did enjoy using.
My camera is red and I have seen it in grey and even black so there is a few options for colours around for this camera.
The camera on first appearances looks stylish and I think the colour helps make this happen. You have a nice ruby style colour on the front and back and around the rim is the black which sort of separates the back and the front of the camera.
The front is kind of messy with all the logos and information about what the camera is and this perhaps could have been limited. They could have displayed just the Canon logo and it would look decent enough.
On the back there is a 2.5 inch LCD screen to show what pictures you have taken and what you are currently looking at. You have various other buttons as well and these range from zooming in and out, altering if you want to video a scene or take pictures and even editing some pictures there and then.
The 10 megapixels was always a highlight the more megapixels the better and I find that sometimes this is true and sometimes it is not but it does work pretty well. The best example would be a 7mp camera took a picture and so did this camera which is 10mp and you noticed the difference immediately so the sharpness and texture of the picture is much more better. This does not mean all cameras are the same as each will produce different results.
What this camera also has is some decent features like the red eye reduction which is extremely good because most pictures of animals and usually family end up with red eye. Before I had this feature I would discard this picture to the recycle bin and try and produce another masterpiece but this really does remove the red eye which saves me time and effort.
Some of the types of pictures you can take vary with names so you have the portrait picture option which I use for taking pictures of people not up close but close enough. You also you have others like pets and children which is nice because you can fit more people into the picture.
The movies you play if you wish are usually 30fps (frames per second) and this is a good number and it offers a good quality movie at the end which is played in an AVI file. This can also work on DivX DVD players as well should you want to transfer the video over at all.
You have a self timer which allows you to relax and get a pose ready and you have between 2 and 10 seconds for this option as well. You can use SD or SDHC memory cards as well and others which I am not familiar with but people can look up these in the manual.
I found the zoom on this camera very good and sometimes with a camera when you zoom into an image you sort of lose focus and it becomes very blurry and hard to work out what your viewing. With this camera it does happen and once the picture is taken the image is restored back to a normal style.
I used this camera in the dark the other night and usually the flash is on auto unless you change it and I could not see my pet in the dark so I took a picture anyways in the hope something might turn out. The result was great and the quality was exceptional. You could see the cat perfectly and it was almost as if I had taken the picture in normal daylight as well.
I think the weight of the product is around 170g and that includes my two AA batteries I needed to use as well. I was provided with a cable a USB one to get the pictures extracted off the camera to a computer also.
In terms of what the camera offers this is one of the best I have used and it was reduced to £70 from over £135 just a few months ago. The quality of pictures are outstanding and when I print them off there is no blur or loss of focus but just great quality and I would highly recommend this camera to anyone.
I got this camera recently and it is fab. It has a large screen which is great because my old camera had a really small screen and you could barely see the photo. The screen is 2.5 inches and it really makes taking photos clearer because the screen is so big I can see if people are looking the right way and smiling even from a long distance away. The screen is also very clear and the image on it when you take the picture is very detailed and is very good quality.
This camera is 10.0 mega pixels so does take excellent photos and is extremely good quality photos which are not at all fuzzy.
I have got this camera in red and it really stands out and looks very modern and trendy. Much better than boring black or silver and it the red makes it look a bit special in my opinion.
One of the best things about it is that it takes pictures one after the other very quickly so you don't have to wait too long although it does take a second if you are waiting for the flash but hardly any time at all. It is also quick to turn on with the on/off button and the lens also comes out very quickly so the camera is ready to take a picture straight away. So it is easier to capture those memorable moments with this camera as I found with my old camera that when waiting for the camera to turn on my toddler had usually moved away but with this it is ready to take a picture almost instantly and makes taking photos much more fun.
It also has face detection technology and identifies a person's face on the screen before you take the picture which does make it easier to take a good picture and will even wait for another face so if you want everyone in the picture it will wait until it sees the last person before taking the picture which I think is a really nice touch.
Another good thing about it that makes it very practical and easy to use is that it takes batteries rather than a camera battery. I find this much better because if we are out and the camera needs new batteries we can just buy some so we don't have to wait until we get home to charge it.
It is a very simple and easy to use camera as I have not had to look at the instructions for it at all. The functions on it are easily available and straightforward. The buttons are easy to use to control the different funcations like looking back at photos you have taken or changing the settings.
Another thing I like about this camera is its matt finsh rather than shiny so always looks sleek and clean and doesn't leave finger marks on it. Also it is a nice shape to hold in your hand and also a good size to take a picture. It is not the smallest of cameras as it is quite chunky and is not as thin as some other cameras and don't think I would like to carry it in my pocket as it would stick out too much but that is not a problem for me.
I think it is a good price for a quality camera which takes lovely pictures and is very easy to use and I cannot fault it for the price.

CARTAGENA, Colombia — Political leaders from the Western Hemisphere ended their summit Sunday seriously divided over the contentious issue of Cuba, as Canada and the United States blocked an attempt by Latin American nations to bring the communist Caribbean country into their fold.
The weekend summit ended frostily when the leaders of more than 30 countries failed to produce a final declaration about their work.
The reason for that failure was that the leaders were unable to reach a consensus on a key issue — the Latin American countries want Cuba to be invited to the next summit of the Americas in three years, in Panama.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama, despite facing pressure at the summit to agree with that plan, dug in their heels and objected. They refuse to allow Cuba to attend the next gathering until it initiates democratic reforms.
At a news conference at the end of the summit, Harper made no apologies.
"I think we have taken a principled position," the prime minister said.
"And when we have taken principled positions, we are prepared to argue that and discuss them. But obviously we don't have our positions dictated either by any one country, or frankly, by any group of countries."
Cuba has not participated in the Organization of American States (OAS) — the backbone of the summits — since the early 1960s but had indicated it was interested in attending this year's gathering at the Colombia seaside resort city of Cartagena.
However, the country, which has been ruled by brothers Fidel and Raul Castro, does not meet OAS standards of democracy, said Harper.
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa boycotted the weekend meeting because of Cuba's continued exclusion and Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega also stayed home.
Momentum began to build here for a change, with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos saying the long-standing policy toward Cuba had become "unacceptable." He said "the isolation, the embargo, the indifference, looking the other way, have been ineffective."
The gravity of the issue is highlighted by the fact that the leftist ALBA bloc of nations — including Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua and some Caribbean nations — have said they will not attend future summits without Cuba's presence.
But Harper refused to back down.
He stressed the summit leaders were in agreement on a range of issues — from economic development to fighting transnational crime — but had differed on two questions: Cuba's participation in summits, and Argentina's claims to the British-held Falkland Islands.
He took pains to insist that while both countries oppose Cuban participation at the summit, Canada's policy toward the nation is not a mirror reflection of U.S. policy.
"We don't have an embargo against Cuba and we don't support the compete isolation of the people."
"We believe that engaging Cuba is one of the tools by which we can hope to move it towards democracy and towards greater human rights."
That approach has "made a difference" in persuading other countries in the Americas to become democratic, said Harper
"We do believe that the Summit of the Americas should be restricted to democratic countries and that Cuba should be encouraged to come as a democratic country in the future."
"It's our contention that the Canadian policy is the way to get that kind of result."
Asked if Canada and the U.S. were adopting a paternalistic approach to the issue over the objections of the rest of the Western Hemisphere, Harper indicated he was standing firm.
"Our position, as it is for all summits, is that for anything to be agreed, it has to be agreed equally by all partners, including Canada."
Santos said the leaders did not release their normal "declaration" to conclude the summit because there was no "consensus."
He said he is hopeful that a "process" can be put in place in the next three years to further discuss whether Cuba can be invited to the next summit.
But it's clear some leaders are angry.
Bolivian President Evo Morales said earlier in the weekend that all the Latin American countries wanted to invite Cuba but were stopped by the U.S.
"It's like a dictatorship," said Morales, adding: "It is just impossible for one country to oppose the will of others and not listen to them."
Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman blamed both the U.S. and Canada for using a "veto" to stop a consensus in favour of Cuba's participation.
Meanwhile, another issue — illicit drugs — captured the attention of the summit.
Harper said the leaders had a solid discussion on the issue.
"I think there is almost a universal agreement that we should continue to fight transnational criminal networks. There is increasing doubt about whether we are taking the best approach to doing that."
"What I think everybody believes and agrees with — and I'll be frank myself — is that the current approach is not working. But it is not clear what we should do."
The escalating violence connected to drug cartels in Latin America has some nations insisting it's time for a new approach — a decriminalized system in which governments regulate how the drugs are sold. The purpose of establishing a legal, regulated system would be to undermine the profits of the drug gangs.
To varying degrees, the leaders of Guatemala, Colombia, Mexico and Costa Rica have spoken out in favour of why different approaches other than strict criminal crackdowns need to be explored.
The development comes after decades of the "war on drugs" — a war that many Latin American leaders say has been lost.
They note that drug cartels have grown more powerful as violence spreads throughout the region — claiming more than 50,000 lives in Mexico alone — and that drug use has only increased in rich nations such as Canada and the United States.
At the summit, the leaders agreed to step up the fight against the drug trade, but there was no consensus on the merits of decriminalization.
Canada and the U.S. — whose citizens are the primary consumers of the drugs being produced in Latin America — strongly oppose that option.
Harper spoke of how troubled he is by the continued "penetration" of the drug trade throughout Canadian society, in both urban and rural areas.
"So there is a willingness to look at what various measures can be taken to combat that phenomenon."
But he cautioned against "simple answers" such as decriminalization.
"Let me remind you of why these drugs are illegal. They are illegal because they quickly and totally — with many of the drugs — destroy people's lives and people are willing to make lots of money out of selling those products to people and destroying their lives.
"And no amount of law — whether it's having the approach in the Muslim world to execution, all the way to full legalization, nothing is going to prevent the reality that this is a trade, people attempting to make rich by destroying people's lives. It's that simple."
"It's going to be an enormous social problem wherever it occurs and under whatever legal regime it happens."

Corby family lobbying frustrating head of Bali's parole board
Lobbying by Schapelle Corby's family to allow her paid TV interview is frustrating the head of Bali's parole board, who says his job is at stake.
Ketut Artha says Corby's Balinese brother-in-law, Wayan Widyartha, met him this week to campaign for the convicted drug smuggler.
Corby has been offered a lucrative interview by the Seven Network, but Indonesia's justice ministry says it will likely breach her parole conditions by upsetting the community.
Kompyang Adnyana, the head of the Bali Justice Office, on Thursday said the interview could only do harm.
"[The] deputy justice minister already explained it, what will happen if they continue with the interview, it will harm themselves," he said.
"No-one from Corby's side contacted Bali Justice Office to ask about going ahead with the interview so far."
But Mr Artha says Wayan, the husband of Corby's sister Mercedes, gave him a letter requesting permission for the interview.
"I said to him that I don't need to give you another answer to that, because it's all clear - there's no permission as has been instructed by the deputy minister," he said.
"Many times I have been told that it's impossible (for the interview) to be allowed and my position is at stake because of that."
Mr Artha says Wayan then said he would go to the provincial office of the law and human rights ministry and ask them for permission instead.
"I told him, 'Just go ahead. It's impossible to get it'."
Channel 7 said this afternoon the money offered to the Corby family for an interview was in the "ballpark" of $500,000.
In an interview with Fairfax Radio, Seven's commercial director Bruce McWilliam said: "I'm not going to tell you the actual figure, but you're not saying a crazy thing.
"It's in that ballpark."
Corby was released from Bali's Kerobokan prison last Monday and has been out of public view since, staying at a five-star Seminyak resort.
Mr Artha says he would prefer Corby leave the luxury villa and stay in Wayan's family home, which is the address she put on her parole documents.
Also staying at the villa are Seven Network staff, including her would-be interviewer, Mike Willesee, who has stressed there is not yet a deal with Corby.
He has also talked down the multimillion-dollar price tag first attached to the tell-all.
The Australian Federal Police searched Seven's Sydney offices this week for evidence of any payment, as part of a proceeds-of-crime investigation.
Seven West Media chief executive Tim Worner says the "massive overreaction" was all for naught, because the document at the centre of the raid was an unsigned draft.

New Card Program Boosts CU's Image
The 8,000-member, $70 million TECU Credit Union has discovered that launching a new credit card has revitalized its card program and refreshed it community image.
The Wichita, Kan.-based credit union, with roots in the communications industry, had been looking for a way to energize its credit card program for some time and had also been searching for ways to implement some changes to the credit union's identity, according to CU executives. In particular TECU wanted to attract more younger members to the credit union but do it in a way that didn't alienate the credit union's older members.
With the help of analysts from Card Services for Credit Unions, the association of credit unions which process payments with FIS, TECU decided to reissue its Visa card program with a rewards program that would both attract younger area residents as well as please older credit union members, the executives said.
TECU dubbed the reissued card The Care Card and executives reported that it has been a relatively speedy success.
"We knew that the younger generation often made financial decisions based not just on value but also on their ideals," explained TECU CEO Chuck Bullock. "They are looking for the authentic and we sought to offer a card that would harness some of those instincts."
The Care Card differs from a general purpose rewards card in that it allows the cardholder to translate rewards points into cash for donations to a given national or local charity of the cardholders choice. The program uses the ScoreCard rewards program and its Charity Choice website as the foundation for the program.
"We realized our Generation Y members are passionate about giving back to their communities, which aligns well with credit unions' purpose, and so the idea of The Care Card just made sense," said Kelly Martin, assistant vice president of operations. "Our goals were to entice our current cardholders to use the card as well as capture the Generation Y audience and make The Care Card top of wallet for them."
TECU also cut the interest rates on the new card, which helped make it more attractive to existing members as well, the executives said.
Since offering The Care Card, TECU has more than doubled new credit card accounts year over year, and grown total outstanding balances by almost 18%, which includes a net sales volume increase of 17.7% leading to increased interchange revenue for TECU.
Since offering The Care Card, TECU has more than doubled new credit card accounts year over year, and grown total outstanding balances by almost 18%, which includes a net sales volume increase of 17.7% leading to increased interchange revenue for TECU.
As of the end of March of this year, TECU had 688 card accounts worth roughly $1.45 billion in outstanding balances.
"It used to be very unusual for us to see more than one or two new card accounts per months, so having that kind of jump has been extraordinary," said Martin, who acknowledged that the increase in card popularity has increased her workload as well. Martin is effectively TECU's card manager.
Bullock reported that member response to the card offering has been very strong and that, in an indirect way, it has helped TECU reinforce its new brand emphasis in the community and helped members see the credit union as not just a place seeking to serve its own members but the whole community. "It has helped solidify our overall message about the credit union," he explained.

Arnaud Tonus leads the MX2 World Championship
The 2014 Grand Prix of Brazil is marked as a special day for Arnaud Tonus and for all Swiss fans. The CLS Kawasaki rider won his first ever GP and is leading the MX2 World Championship. Making history, Tonus is the first Swiss rider to win a MX2 GP.
Arnaud Tonus on the podium for his first place finish in Brazil.
Injured last weekend during a national race, previous World Championship leader Jeffrey Herlings didn't race in the third round of the series in Brazil. This provided a great opportunity for his rivals to gain some ground in Beto Carrero. Going into the race with a heat win and a second place finish Arnaud Tonus was able to do just that, he secured the overall win and now holds the red plate as the new leader of the series. "What happened today didn't really sink in yet, as I won my first ever GP moto, my first GP overall and leading the World Championship for the first time in my life! For sure I knew that it was possible, but after the difficulties of the last two seasons my first goal was simply to reach a podium. In the first race it was difficult mentally and the race felt like it lasted for two hours, but I quickly made a gap and could control the race to the finish line. In the second race I had another good start, and found a good rhythm when I was third, but when I took over second place I started to ride a little tense as I knew that I had the chance to win the GP. I managed to pull myself together, stay focused and get the job done!" said a delighted Arnaud after the press conference. Fourth in the GP, Dylan Ferrandis is now third in the standings, only five points behind his teammate.
Dylan Ferrandis finished in 4th place in Brazil and is in third place overall.
Leader of the MXGP Championship, Antonio Cairoli won his second consecutive Grand Prix and holds a strong lead in the series. Belgian's Clement Desalle reached his second podium after Thailand. Placing second he is now sitting in fourth position in the World Championship, only one point away from the second spot.
Clement Desalle finished second and is in 4th place overall.
The racing will continue in Trentino, April 13th.

Replacement battery for key?
Replacement battery for key?
There is an indent on the underside of the battery. It has a rounded side and a straight side. Stick fingernail or knife edge or small screwdrive under straight edge and gently pry it open. There is a standard clock battery in there CR232 or something like that. It is good to have a spare. I keep a spare battery in my glove compartment (secrued with tape) just in case.
@David if your key died wouldn't you be locked out though? So having the spare battery in the glove compartment wouldn't help?
I know you can unlock with the app, but lets act like that doesn't exist.
Please, put the spare battery wherever you like. I like the glove compartment.
I think I read in the Owner's manual that you can still unlock the door when the fob's battery is dead/nearly dead by holding the fob over the windshield wiper grill on the right hand side. (Must be magic) Then you can get inside the car and get that spare battery out of the glove compartment. (I taped my spare to the roof of the cubby.)
Thanks for the idea David Trushin
Just had one of my keys get a 'battery low' signal. Battery is a CR2032. Very easy to open one up with a small flathead screwdriver. Anything bigger could scratch the edges a bit. I couldn't use my fingernails but I'm sure some out there could.
@David sorry my question offended you, but it was a serious question. Having the spare in the car is most convenient, but I certainly don't want to be locked out if it is needed.
@rochec, Like akikiki mentioned, read the manual. It talks about putting the dead key fob at the bottom of the windshield on the passenger side and the door will unlock. It must use a different technology, like RFID tags or something that don't require power but obviously need to be in very close proximity.
@rochec Not offended. I use my phone app all the time. And even if I forget my phone, one can call service and they can unlock the car remotely. (Although if I forget my phone, how would I call service? I seem to recall something called a pay phone, but I don't know where I would find one.)

CFPB Target of Feedback Website
The House Financial Services Committee turned the tables on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, soliciting public feedback on the regulator's work.
The Republican-led committee's website now offers an opportunity to explain through a web form how the CFPB has impacted consumers and business owners, or how the bureau has affected businesses' customers. Individuals can choose to share their story publicly or keep it confidential.
The CFPB frequently encourages consumers to contact the bureau with their complaints about entities including banks, student loan servicers and credit card companies, and posts them online for the public to review.
"Holding Washington accountable to hardworking taxpayers is a never ending battle. That's especially true when it comes to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, the most powerful and least accountable government agency in all of Washington," said Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) in a statement on Monday.
"The Financial Services Committee is committed to true consumer protection. True consumer protection means you not only protect consumers from 'Wall Street' but from Washington as well. True consumer protection means ensuring consumers have access to competitive, transparent and innovative markets vigorously policed for fraud and deception. True consumer protection empowers consumers with greater economic freedom, accurate information, and more choices," Hensarling added.
The committee said it has been receiving feedback about the CFPB's new mortgage regulations.
"The committee is already hearing from individuals and organizations about how the CFPB's first major regulations – its "Qualified Mortgage" rules – will take away homeownership opportunities for low and middle income Americans," said a committee press release on Monday.
The CFPB criticism comes one day before Director Richard Cordray will testify before the committee to present the bureau's semi-annual report.
"Clearly this is an attempt by House Republicans to put CFPB on the defensive, turn the tables. I will be very interested to see the kinds of response from the public this generates," said industry lobbyist and speaker John McKechnie, a partner with the Washington-based firm Total Spectrum.

JOHN KENNETH SINCLAIR (10/16/11869 in Moore Co., NC - 2/5/1950 in Richmond Co., NC; burial in Stevan Gibson Cemetery, Oak Ridge Church Rd., Richmond Co, NC, married Martha Louisa King (8/20/1874 - 11/17/1902) on 6/25/1895 in Richmond Co., NC; burial in Stevan Gibson Cemetery but later moved to Thrower Cemetery by Walter & Charlie King. Note: Betty Ruth Smith states: John K. Sinclair, his sister Anna (Diana Rebecca Ellen Sinclair) , and Anna's husband Bill Steen, lived in the house now owned by Lila Mae Fuller off Hwy. 74 E. Bill farmed and raised vegetables. John K. was em- ployed by Jim Pegram as clerk in Pegram Grocery. After Anna's death, John K. & Bill moved into a kind of make-shift house (made from 2 or 3 old sheds) behind the Jesse Malloy house in the Steen Town Community of Hamlet, NC. In his later years, John K. lived in a couple of houses in the Oak Ridge Community: 1st with Milton Terry, his mother (Maggie Smith Terry), his sister, Beulah Terry Smith and her daughter Betty Ruth Smith. Later he lived with Billy Steen's nephew and his wife, Sam and Aggie Dunn Steen. Several years later, he became unable to take care of himself and went to Glenwood Boarding Home (which in today's terms was a rest home) where he died. Sometime between 1920 and 1925 John K. won a new Touring car. He sold it because the car was open with no glasses. It would have been necessary to purchase curtains to pull on the sides. Mr. Sinclair drove a Model T Ford around for a long time, mainly in low gear. He used to invite Warren Smith to ride with him to Misenheimer, NC where he visited relatives, and Warren visited his sister Wilma at Phifer College. The car had clencher tires. The rim would cut the tires and they would have a flat about every 10 miles which kept them busy taking the tire off the wheel, innertube out of the tire, locate the hole (sometimes using saliva to cause a bubble to find it), patch the innertube, and proceed to get everything back on the car again. (The wheels did not come off this particular car.) John K. was superintendent of the Sunday School at Oak Ridge Church and also led the singing as his sister Anna played the piano. Oak Ridge Church was a small white inter-denominational church sitting on a hill surrounded by oak trees. The church began as a one room school with only one teacher during the week, a Sunday School on Sundays, and preaching service once a month. Since they had no pastor, a preacher from another church (Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, or Spring Hill Weslyan Methodist) would come and preach. The children had to walk for miles to go to school. One family would ride in a mule drawn wagon. The mule was always hitched to a tree in the school yard. Ther ride was always ready and waiting for the return trip at the end of school.
Children of John K. and Martha Lou: 1. Martha Lou Sinclair ("Mattie") (4/19/1898 in Richmond Co., NC - 8/19/1955 in North Cove, NC; burial in English Family Cemetery in North Cove, NC; married William Garvel English (1/18/1899-5/12/1993) on 10/18/1924; buried In English Family Cemetery, North Cove, NC.
About Martha Lou Sinclair ("Mattie"): Mattie was one of two children born to John Kenneth Sinclair and Martha Lou King. She was only 4 years old when her mother died; her sister Alma only 3. Feeling that his daughters could be given a better life, John Kenneth Sinclair agreed to let them move in with his deceased wife's family. The Kings saw to it that the girls' needs were met in every way including sending them to college: Mattie to St. Mary's in Raleigh and Alma to The North Carolina College for Women. Afterwards, Mattie engaged in secretarial work and became secretary to the Secretary of State, W. N. Everett. Mattie's Aunt Julia King developed tuberculosis and came to Asheville to be treated. Mattie and other King relatives came to visit Aunt Julia King in Asheville and boarded at the home of Rose Ellen English in nearby Ashford/North Cove where she met and fell in love with future husband, William Garvel English. Mattie's maternal grandparents were William Jerome King (1834-1890) and Martha Jane Warner (4/1/1845-1900), whose parents were William Dawson Warner and Louise (Sarah) Thrower. Children of William Jerome King and Martha Jane Warner: Martha Lou King (8/20/1874-11/17/1902) - Mattie's mother Julia E.
