Steve McQueen’s Bullitt drove a Ford Mustang, Sean Connery’s James Bond drove an Aston Martin.  The unnamed driver played by Ryan Gosling in “Drive” uses a low-profile Chevy Impala to make his crime scene getaways as innocuous as possible.

 

He’s a professional, working in a garage and driving movie stunt cars by day and coolly piloting getaway cars by night.  We know almost nothing else about him, because he rarely speaks more than two words at a time.

Green pleads guilty in pot shooting death

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A man from Windham who shot and killed a man who was stealing marijuana plants pleaded guilty Friday to four counts including manslaughter and reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon.

Joseph Green was then sentenced to 10-years in prison.

Inside the Cumberland County courthouse the family of David Harmon told a heart wrenching story of a man who was broke and his home was being foreclosed on. In a desperate attempt to make money he decided to steal some marijuana plants. It's a decision that cost him his life.

"Why and how could someone kill over a plant? An illegal one at that. This is what i'm left with, not great memories of my brother but what a horrible death he had", Harmon's sister Pamela Aube told the court.

At the time Green felt he was protecting his property. His attorney says it's a decision Green now regrets.

Maine Fall Foliage Colors Expected to Be "Bright and Beautiful"

A stretch of hot and dry weather in July and the recent tropical storm won't have a noticeable impact on foliage viewing in Maine, according to the first 2011 fall foliage report from the Maine Department of Conservation (MDOC).
 
Maine fall foliage conditions as of Sept. 14. 
 
"Overall, the foliage looks to be in better than average condition," said Bill Ostrofsky, a forest pathologist at the Maine Forest Service. "I fully expect the Maine fall foliage season will be delivered right on time as another bright and beautiful show."

Currently, Maine Forest Service rangers in each of the state's seven tracking zones are observing very low leaf color, or less than 10 percent toward peak, along with very low leaf drop.
