SIDEBAR #49 - Arias/Alexander forum

[Bernina]

My dh gave me my new Dell laptop for a just because during Jodi's guilty phase of the trial. It drove me crazy that if you went to far to the left or right, and sometimes not even being close to it the side charms will pop up. I can do emails, some shopping, lots of wondering all over the net learning new and old facts and figures, and my websleuths, and that's about it.


I know I have all kinds of bells and whistles, but not that interested or motivated to learn. I use (free at Microsoft) Windows Defender, then the free Malwarebytes and Avg anti virus - I have broken down and bought the full versions. You can add Malwarebytes up to three computers. I can't stand McAfee or Norton and removed them in the control panel.

I do love the speed. Within one second of hitting enter to go to a site you're there - unless it's Websleuths, which has been going really slow for a while. But to be fair my last three laptops and desktop were fast too.


The one reason I got the new Dell were my anguished screams was when Jodi was on the stand and during a really good thread flying like crazy, all of a sudden I have this weird icon show up and takes the cursor from a pointer into a round magnifier that won't move and it if does it keep enlarging and shrinking the screen until who know for what reason it goes back to normal, and the thread has flown by and close and moved on to the next - twice.

There is good news through. Microsoft is giving a free Windows 10 upgrade to Window 8 users. It's bringing back the start menu and the games like it had on older models. I think they re thought Windows 9 and thought naw this is like Vista lets do better.


We've have had a pair of Egrets that have decided to take over and make a nest in the pecan tree that overshadows my gazebo,and big birds? big poop, need I say more? So, DH is putting up scaffolding to put a twenty foot ladder on to hang an boombbox turned to rap music next to the nest. He's wants my grandson to stand on the scaffolding, stomping on the poppers you get for New Years Eve, when the birds try to attack him. We're also tying Mylar balloon over my gazebo and trees and I'm getting an air horn. The timing is crucial because once the birds lay eggs federal law protects them.) I have been forbidden to take any pictures.

I wish I could get a pair of egrets or herons to nest down by my pond, guess the Juniper trees are just too short for them to feel safe. 20 feet is the standard, yep, I even looked up how to provide "inviting" kind of situations for them, like a 20 foot pole with a short lipped platform thing on top years back. Now, that's a telephone pole, and my auger only goes 5' max which would only reasonably support something along the lines of 10-12'.
If all else fails, and they lay an egg,........tarps. Their poop shouldn't rain further out than 3 feet from the nest, unless those babies have magnum projectile poopers and there's a good wind. Lol!
Plain mylar balloons with a set of eyes drawn on them with a Sharpie, a set on both sides. There's one specifically made for bird deterrent but it's not worth the $$$. It's just a big ol' eyeball, black and red. Kinda dumb since birds see in black and white.

Why can't you take pics?

Hi Bernina :seeya: How's the weather?

Most excellent! High 84, low 48, and maybe rain on Monday with temps dropping down to the 70's the rest of that week. Last freeze date May 10, so we'll see!

 

[YESorNO]

It could have a lot to do with just the position you have to keep it in while it heals, but if it where me, I'd call the Doc.
Never had a broken arm, but damnit if I don't look like I bit the dust on a dirtbike and got road rash. Of course, the Zuri Monster strikes again. She's just so chilled out all the time, I don't *think* when I do something "different" with her..............gah. Yesterday was all about clipping her to a lunge line and we're going to play in the round pen..........right.

>insert choice swear words fondly used by truckers and others<

See, Zuri can bolt with her head pulled around almost into her shoulder, And maybe I should have clipped her onto the lunge line AFTER I got her in the round pen, instead of where she had, oh, like say 100's of feet of open space. And she can "run" just on her back feet, Actually it's an amazing feat, should think about letting her join the circus.

It takes about 24 hours for my body to register pain. But this time, I got ice on my knee before it could start talking to me, took a couple of aspirin, and it's not too bad this morning. Going to love the scars on my shoulder when the scabs fall off, the old forearm is just mottled with bruises from pebbles.

On another note, Zubaz and Star got to spend the last few days together. Lots of whinnying, snorting, mayhem, but they're in love.

View attachment 74112

What color their foal will be is going to be a mystery. Have all of Zubaz's pedigree, but Star came from a mustang roundup on BLM 13 years ago. She had one foal prior, a little buskin filly out of who knows what stallion out there with the wild horses. She was pregnant when they rounded her up but didn't know it.

Today I'm going to pull the swan eggs out....they were all infertile. Bummer. But the incubator is all set up for the peafowl eggs when they start laying here shortly, so that's a good thing. The swans have 2 eggs under them, who knows what will happen to them. Going to blow out the swan eggs and add them to my collection. Juan is shooting blanks, I suppose. He hasn't in past years, but they never stayed on the nest long enough for the babies to hatch.

Now for some very interesting documentaries: Finally got around to watch "Gasland". OMG. A "must see" if your State allows fracking. It's appalling what politicians can do to fly under the radar when people's health and the environment is concerned. I'm going to watch "Gasland 2" tonight. I am so glad that natural gas has not been found in Arizona, although I'm going to do some research on what's going on in the 4 Corners. That area was marked as a natural gas area, and I'm kinda wondering if that's whats causing these big "booms" around here from the earth's plates moving and that earthquake last year in Sedona.

Another must see: "Fed Up" narrated by Katie Couric. Another political snafu with the sugar lobbyists and special interest groups. Good bye "Cinnamon Toast Crunch", looks like my breakfast buddy will be Quaker Oats with my blueberries. When I started converting the grams of sugar in to teaspoons, I was like "you have got to be ******* kidding me." 4 grams of sugar equals 1 teaspoon. http://www.newhealthguide.org/How-Many-Grams-Of-Sugar-In-A-Teaspoon.html I'm not a soda drinker, but a can of coke has 44 grams of sugar, that's 11 teaspoons. I know women who can't go through a day without several cans of Pepsi, Coke, or RC cola.
Divide the grams by 4 and you have your teaspoon value. The food product makers were slick, use grams instead of teaspoons because how many consumers actually know the conversion?

That's it for a bit, going to read posts and chill a bit before I go out and play with Zuri.........:truce:

Too bad about the swan eggs.

We have fracking all over NY ( and Pa.) and there's a war going on where I live to keep it out of our area. Hope we win because fracking is a terrible thing for the environment, IMO.

I think that's 281129's motion, like they're going after the other 11 and the whole "social media" baloney. It's not going to fly. The basis of an appeal has to be on the premise that if certain things came to light, evidence was presented or not, or objections would have been sustained/denied, would it have had any effect on the verdict. Certainly can't go with the inadequate defense, $3 mil + worth. And 281129 and her mumsie were begging JSS to keep Nurmi on at one point. Can't have it both ways.

Would be ironic if she did get a re-trial on appeal and she got the DP. :floorlaugh:

BBM Oh please- I couldn't stand another trial for her. I'm just fried from the last 2 trials and have had enough.

That documentary was produced by a man in Pennsylvania. The Natural gas idiots ended up putting one of their set ups just past his property line.
I am REALLY surprised there aren't eco terrorists blowing those well heads up. Lots of payoffs, hush money, settlements with the stipulation the victims keep their mouths shut. They've destroyed ground water for hundreds of small communities.

That whole watershed for PA and NY will be undrinkable if the government lets them drill.
Dick Cheney should have his testicles handed to him and Haliburton should be fined out of business.
Proprietary "ingredients", that's how their fracking chemicals didn't have to be "known". It's like the secret ingredients in Kentucky Fried Chicken.

You'd have to be a complete idiot or a stock holder in the natural gas industry NOT to connect the cause and effect of fracking and deadly chemicals in wells and waterways, health issues, earthquakes..............Tap water that ignites is normal.:facepalm: In what world?!!?!?!?!

There's some government oversite committees and agencies that have REALLY dropped the ball.
With all the cost that goes into fracking a well, we'd be far better off having that money put into solar and wind energy.

I'm there with you, YorN. I still haven't watched the whole trial, just the day of VIS, 281129's insult to injury and JSS sentencing her. Did watch the super duper secret testimony by 281129, yawn, but that's all.
Don't think I missed much........

At 215 pm, sitting at a high of 97 in Phoenix. Can we get to 100 degrees? It's going to be close. #azwx #100watch


Oh. Boy. Things are heating up for #281129

Just want to say thanks Sidebar friends for stopping by the James Holmes Theater Shooting trial thread. Great to have your support. Yes, it is a difficult, complex trial and very, very sad. Many followers of the trial are so appreciative of the no-nonsense, yet friendly way Judge Samour runs the courtroom and the respect among all the attorneys.

Trial resumes on Monday. (As a rule, court is in session 8:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tomorrow is an exception.)

HUGS!
:loveyou:

Maybe I'll be up to joining you kids on Monday! And.......maybe I'll take a "look/see' at the thread?
Trials with a mental illness.............like a REAL , break from reality mental illness, tear me up. You kind of need the experience of living with or knowing someone who is mentally ill to grasp what kind of hell the accused is going through. Don't know if that makes sense. My heart broke for Andrea Yates, Jared Loughner, and Julie Shenecker.

I haven't watched the retrial at all (just posted all the Ytubes for everyone else)- why bother- same old lies anyway and who wants to hear anymore of it. I did watch the sentencing, I think :thinking: I don't remember now. :blushing:

It makes sense to me. Mental Illness is a reality that unfortunately many/most people don't want to accept. The brain is an organ like the heart, lungs pancreas, liver. All can become diseased. I gotta stop myself now before I pull out the soapbox.
