  1. Apartment complex must be loving all the free publicity about their locks and general security.
  2. Twice, I understand that. But I've been on 4 juries (2 criminal). I've even had them with the defendant testifying. Never seen anything like this cross. Yeah after some boring experts and maybe a weekend, it wont be as visceral, but that left a mark.
  3. They like will, but damn-it being under stress is part of the job. Not everything they see is "a call" in which they have time to mentally prepare en route. Sometime they see shit and have to immediately decide what to do. She was trained to do X but she did Y and killed someone. The jury will have to decide whether she intentionally did the wrong thing, or was her training so bad that she was never going to succeed as a cop. Its possible she thought she was on 3rd floor and not the 4th, but that stop (when the guy got ahead of her in the garage) makes me thing it could have been intentional, but I can't say that beyond a reasonable doubt. But I have little doubt that once she "heard the sound of someone moving", which was before she opened the door, her actions were intentional, wanting to neutralize the "threat". Finally, she was standing in the doorway will a well lit hallway behind her. She bursts in and says, "show me your hands" but Jean in his dark apartment, likely only sees a silhouette. She didn't say "Police, show me your hands"
  4. Did she just say she got blood on her uniform? Forensics said no blood.
  5. So the entry wound is in the nipple area, and she does CPR and a sternum rub, but has no blood anywhere on her?
  6. I'm in Montgomery County. I thought the "up to" had the potential to be a dirty trick. Based upon what you guys say, I will tell Geico what I know, and tell not rejecting, but not accepting until I know more. But also part of it is surprise on how long it takes to hospital to bill. With ERP systems, they'd be able to tell very quickly. Thanks
  7. About a week ago, my wife was traveling to work on an interstate feeder road. Rush hour, and traffic was backed up at the stop light. She comes to a full stop. Suddenly she is plowed into from behind by Vehicle A, which accordioned her into the truck in front of her and then the truck hit the car in front of it. (4 car crash) She's stunned and sore, but no obvious injuries. Take her to the ER to get checked out. no x-rays or other tests, just triage and quick exam by Dr (PA?) who gives a script for muscle relaxants and says to take OTC pain meds (Tylenol and ibuprofen) Driver of Vehicle A admits fault and her insurance (Geico) accepts liability. We're offered a quick settlement for the ER visit of "up to $15,000". I know nothing of ER costs, other than they are high, so I am leery of this "up to" settlement. Call the hospital, who says they can't produce a bill for 30 days (really?!), but so far all the have is an ER charge for <$2k, but that doesn't include Dr fees. I call the Dr billing service, who says they've gotten nothing from the hospital (really?!), although they are aware of my wife going to a hospital. They can give no guidance. Geico is pushing to know if we will accept the settlement. (Note: other than this "up to" clause, I am ok with the rest of Geico's offer.) Anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Offer any advice?
  8. Do you need an entire new pump or could you just replace the motor?
  9. You stated that asking citizenship will result in an inaccurate count. I pointed out that questioning citizenship is nothing new, and that the census bureau asks many questions that are not part of a count of residents. And if you had bother to review the links, you would have seen that the planed question is: Is this person a citizen of the United States?" Yes, born in the United States. Yes, born in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Northern Marianas. Yes, born abroad of U.S. citizen parent or parents. Yes, U.S. citizen by naturalization (add year). No, not a U.S. citizen. This is not substantially different that what they asked in 1950. No part of the question asks whether an immigrant came "legally" I suggest you take to time to read, rather just stating talking points you've been handed.
  10. Citizenship was asked for many years. It was last ask in 1950. 1940 Census form. Note that it ask other questions, such as education employment and how much money you made. In 1970, they even asked about your toilet
  11. Got an email from DTV/ATT wanting me to "review my order". What "order", I didn't order anything. So I review it. It seems they decided out of the kindness of their hearts to bill me for an additional genie mini that I don't have and didn't ask for. Called customer service and the Indian woman tried to tell me that it was for the main genie. I told her it was not on there before, and that the charges for HD receiver, DVR, and whole home service was the main genie. I told her that if she couldn't explain how the bogus order was created and take the added mini off my bill, I would call the state attorney general and file a fraud complaint. She sent me to an account supervisor who confirmed there was no record of the order, confirmed the equipment I did have, corrected the billing, and knocked $25/month off for next year. Fuck them.
  12. Don't know how frequently you expect to smoke, but I do something every couple of months, usually rotating between pork butts, ribs, and brisket. So it may be 6+ months between brisket cooks. So, I keep a log what what I cooked, how I did it, how long it took, how much fuel it took, vent setting, and how it turned out. I refer back to my notes every time I plan a new cook.
  13. Article in Daily Mail also, I have been delayed by Air Force 2 (VP) before. My flight out NOLA MSY was delayed while Gore boarded and left. Shut down entire airport. Got to watch him get out of his limo and climb onboard though
  14. Most say Cersei is ruthless, cunning, but loves her children. I call BS. she only "loves" her children because she gets reflected glory. Witness the "Tommen betrayed me," line when he committed suicide. She's not particularly cunning. Most of her schemes go badly. For example giving the high sparrow so much power. Sending Jamie to Dorne to fetch her daughter back home. Sending Bron to kill Jamie and Tyrion (wtf did she expect?) She's not ruthless, at least not directly, and only when backed into a corner. She did it through 3rd parties. Ned tells her he knows her children are bastards of incest, so she is forced to have Robert killed and Ned charged with treason. She has the Sept of Baelor blown up because she was going to be imprisoned again. But she watches from a distance. She tells Jaime not to leave her to go fight with the North, or she'll have him killed. Then has The Mountain stand down. She wanted to have Tyrion executed for killing Joffery, but not by her hand, but after a trial and with an executioner. So to me, there was no doubt she would stand down again and not give a public order to kill Tyrion. Also, she's had no experience with warfare. All she has is Euron Greyjoy, who while adept at sea battles has no on land experience. She has the sell swords of the Golden Company, and I'm sure their leader is skilled, and it is possible that Jamie will return to fight for her, but... Finally, remember the Battle of Blackwater, when it looked like Stannis couldn't be stopped? What did she do? She went and hid in the throne room and prepared to commit suicide. If the Targaryen forces look like they will overrun Kings Landing, she'll kill herself. just my two cents.
  15. How far is it from your fence to the property line?
  16. I re-watched it with subtitles on. It said Jon: Yells To me it sounded like "No!" or just a none word. But if you wanted to heard "go", you could.
  17. I thought the coin was a reward for her finding the scroll with Sansa's message that Ned was a traitor and come kneel to King Joffery.
  18. Well, that would have been the Democrats.
  19. Ketchup sucks. Anything that "tastes better" with ketchup must have really sucked.
