Half a house on semi-rural property with own private access to the house, including large master bedroom own walk in wardrobe, plus full sized bathroom, with separate lounge/games area in own section of house. Your rooms: Can be furnished or unfurnished - the master bedroom of the house boasts its own direct access to the front balcony via full height glass doors, as well as a large walk-in wardrobe and air conditioning unit. - the bathroom has been meticulously designed in a quaint country style to further compliment the architecture of the house, and has had new glass shower screens recently installed - the huge lounge room is furnished and has direct external access for enhanced privacy. None of the housemates use that end of the house, so this space is very rarely accessed. Our rooms (shared space): - the second lounge and dining rooms are shared space, fully furnished and boasting a slow combustion fireplace - the spacious timber and granite bench top kitchen features gas cooking and plenty of storage space including a walk in pantry and your own full sized fridge -the internal laundry is fully furnished and there is also additional shared storage space if required The house and suburb: This beautifully landscaped home on 3 acres in a highly sought-after suburb in the Hills district offers the peace and tranquility that Sydney-siders often only dream of. It is set apart from neighbours and the road (a cul de sac), so offers complete privacy and plenty of parking within the property. With hiking and riding tracks only minutes away, it also offers a recreational value that is unsurpassed while still being so close to the CBD We are 2 minutes drive from a petrol station, grocery store, post office, bottle shop, pharmacy, medical centre, cafes and an Italian restaurant, and 5 or so minutes drive to a larger centre. Who we are: There are currently 3 people living up the other end of the house, including one couple and another guy. We are all late 20s and early 30s, and work full time. We're super laid back, and happy to socialise or keep to ourselves, which the space certainly allows for. We are all animal people, and have a couple of (very friendly) critters between us. Who you are: We are looking for either one person or a couple who is clean and tidy, easy going, employed and pays rent on time. Chances are we will probably cook for you at times, and our pets will probably love you more than is appropriate for such a new relationship, but their hearts are in the right place... What you can expect to pay: $345 rent per week for a single person (inclusive of water usage) $395 rent per week for a couple (inclusive of water usage) Electricity and Internet bills will be split between housemates Outdoor pets considered.

The views have to be the best part of living here, the house is surrounded by bush and elevated to overlook Berowra Waters. Theres plenty of bushwalks and native fauna around and it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere while being less than an hour from Sydney. The main deck upstairs has sweeping views and is great for entertaining with a bbq and an 8 place outdoor setting while the bedrooms open out onto the covered balcony downstairs if youre after a quiet place to have breakfast. There's reverse cycle air con in the main living area for the hottest and coldest days. We dont mind smokers as long as you keep it outside, guests are fine. We love puppies and kittehs but the yard really isnt suited. Indoors and litter trained may be considered but I wont have outdoor cats. Theres too much native wildlife to risk.

A Dauphin County man has been charged with several sex crimes after a 12-year-old girl told authorities that he did "sexual things" to her for nearly a year.
Eric Santiago Rodriguez Jr., 38, of Swatara Township, is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail in Dauphin County Prison.
The girl was interviewed Feb. 21 at the Children's Resource Center. She told authorities that Rodriguez engaged in sexual acts with her about once per week over the last year, according to charging documents filed by Swatara Township police Detective Christopher M. Seiler.
The girl said it made her feel "violated," according to police. She later confided in a friend, who encouraged her to report the abuse. The girl eventually told a teacher at her school and her mother, according to police.
Rodriguez has been charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse by forcible compulsion and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, among other felony and misdemeanor charges.
His preliminary court hearing is scheduled for May 21. A defense attorney was not listed for Rodriguez in court records as of Tuesday morning.

Five hospitals in southcentral Pennsylvania were named among the state's best hospitals in the annual hospital rankings from U.S. News and World Report.
They are: Lancaster General Hospital, ranked number 6; Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, ranked 16; Geisinger Medical Center, ranked 17; Holy Spirit Hospital, ranked 19; and WellSpan York Hospital, ranked 21.
The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center was ranked as the number 1 hospital in Pennsylvania, and it ranked number 10 on the honor of roll of America's best hospitals.
U.S. News and World Report says it gauges hospitals according to factors including how they rank in various specialties and input from doctors. The publication notes that the highest ranking hospitals in a given specialty aren't "necessarily" the best. It urges patients to research hospitals they are considering using, and to use the rankings as a "starting point."

Saturday morning, up early for the FX day of the 2012 Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, Sheen was the focus of a panel for his comedy, "Anger Management."
Asked questions about, well, how things are going, Sheen, dressed in a relaxed outfit of white shirt and plaid shorts, said his life is better now. "I'm not insane anymore," he said. Other lessons learned from past missteps, Sheen said, included that it wasn't such a hot idea to take a one-man show out on the road, to 21 cities, "with no act."
Sheen seemed at times like his brain was going faster than his sentences, but he answered questions about the show, which FX has not yet officially renewed, though FX president and general manager John Landgraf indicated chances were good it would be picked up. It was also announced that Martin Sheen would be playing Charlie's father on "Anger Management," which seems like a possible dual-purpose move.
Other items from the day so far:
* Asked what elements the TV "Anger Management" retains from the Jack Nicholson-Adam Sandler movie of the same name, series creator Bruce Helford said, "The title."
* Regarding his very public flameout after being fired from "Two and a Half Men," Charlie Sheen said it felt like a a runaway train he couldn't get off, "and I was the conductor."
* FX president/general manager Landgraf says adding Martin Sheen to "Anger Management" cast -- Sheen is a recurring character and will join as a regular if the show is picked up -- will make it "a multi-generational family show," which he says "Two and a Half Men" was, kinda, when Sheen was still on there. Landgraf indicates that even though critics didn't like "Anger Management" (me included) the audience for it is different than the people who appreciate an FX comedy like "Louie." "Anger Management" will, it sounds, be going for broader humor, and a more mainstream, "Two and a Half Men"-style audience. Though the humor's pretty broad already.
* Asked if "Anger Management" is autobiographical, Sheen said, "We have incorporated things that are specific to me," and "the other show," meaning "Two and a Half Men."
* Landgraf addressed the status of "Powers," the potential FX series adapted from the comic series co-created by Portland-based comics star Brian Michael Bendis. A pilot was shot, but one of the leads, Lucy Punch, has since joined another show, the upcoming Fox comedy, "Ben and Kate." Landgraf said the pilot script has been reworked, and a total of four scripts have been ordered. If they elect to go forward to series, Landgraf said, it's likely the pilot will be reshot.
* Landgraf also gladdened the hearts of critics by announcing that "Louie" has been picked up for a fourth season.

Estrogen and Testosterone
Excerpts from "Soyfoods Cooking for a Positive Menopause"
The phytoestrogens in soy are structurally similar to human estrogen, but very weak compared to the estrogens that the human body produces. They bind with estrogen receptors in the human body. Phytoestrogens are believed to protect against breast and prostate cancers, two hormone-dependent cancers. Isoflavones, found in soy, are only one type of phyto (or plant) hormone or sterol. There are many others available in a number of plant foods.
Soy foods have been studied exhaustively and it is now easy to figure how much isoflavone there is in a serving of one soy food or another. One tablespoon of flaxseed has about an equal portion of isoflavones to one portion of soy food. Wild yam is full of isoflavones and is used as a source for natural progesterone and estrogen therapy products, but it is not the same as the yam we buy in the grocery store.
Isoflavones resemble animal (or human, in this case) estrogens just enough to be accepted by cell estrogen receptors and bind weakly to the cell surface membrane. The estrogen receptors have been compared to "tiny switching stations", "locks" or "docking stations" on the cells. Joanna Dwyer and colleagues at the New England Medical Center and Tufts University theorized in an article they wrote for The Journal of The American Dietetic Association (July 1994) that in pre-menopausal women the estrogen receptors are occupied and the weaker plant estrogens must compete for these sites. However, in postmenopausal women, whose self-produced estrogen declines about 60%, there is a far greater chance of the plant estrogens "docking" and this can increase the amount of estrogens available to her.
Perhaps the most important soybean estrogen in genistein. It is considered a powerful anticarcinogen and it is found in good supply in whole soybeans (including roasted soybeans or "soynuts"), textured soy protein, soy flour, soymilk, tofu and tofu products, and tempeh.
Daidzein, another soybean estrogen generously supplied by these soy foods, is now under intense study for its potential cancer-fighting and bone-building qualities. It, like genistein, is turned by intestinal bacteria into a substance that competes with human estrogen. Although other foods contain phytosterols, no other commonly consumed foods contain these two powerful phytoestrogens. And it has been proven in human studies that isoflavones in the diet are absorbed into the bloodstream– one study in which volunteers ate 40 grams of textured soy protein daily for just five days, the isoflavone levels in their urine (which indicates their presence in the bloodstream) increased as much as thousandfold in comparison to levels taken before the study.
In fact, in a 1993 study, women living in a controlled environment for two months had an average increase of two and a half days in the length of time between menstrual periods when they ate soy, which attests to the powerful effect phytoestrogens can have on a woman's body.
This type of evidence has led a few scientists to wonder if eating large amounts of soy can lower fertility, but most authorities, including Mark Messina, Ph.D., author of The Simple Soybean and Your Health, points out that Chinese and Japanese women have no trouble with fertility levels, despite daily high soy intake. Kenneth Setchell, Ph.D., professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Cincinnati says that, though soy lengthens the cycle, it does not prevent ovulation and there is still a normal menstrual cycle.
Boron, a trace element which is necessary for our health but which you need very little of, helps activate both vitamin D and estrogen. It is in good supply in plant foods, such as the soybean, but not in animal proteins. A study was done in 1986 of post-menopausal women between the ages of 48 and 82, led by Forrest Nielsen, Ph.D., director of the U.S, Department of Agriculture's Agricultural research Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Boron supplementation markedly reduced urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium and also RAISED the level of and estrogen called estradiol-17 beta, a female hormone, and TESTOSTERONE (a precursor to estradiol-17 beta), a predominantly male hormone which women produce in smaller amounts, but which increases energy and libido. (Testosterone is now often prescribed in small amounts to postmenopausal women who have lost their sexual desire.) Boron supplementation is not recommended– it should be easy to ingest enough of this ultra-trace mineral on a plant-based diet containing lots of soy.
One of the factors that perked the interest of cancer researchers some years ago was the striking difference between mortality rates for breast cancer and prostate cancer in the West (North America and Europe) compared to Asian countries, such as China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Thailand. In the West, your chances of dying of breast or prostate cancer can be ten to twenty times higher than if you lived in one of these Asian countries! (Japan's average daily soy intake is 29.5 g, whereas in the U. S. it is negligible. Japan's breast cancer death rate is 6 per 100,000 people, and the U. S. rate is 22.4 per 100,000. Japan's prostate cancer death rate is 3.5 per 100,000, and the U.S. rate is 15.7.)
Thanks to Bryanna Clark Grogan for the book excerpt.
Now, worried about hormones? Soy can help! A study published in the May 2000 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that phytoestrogens (natural chemicals found in many plants) provide women with many of the same benefits as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) without increasing the risk of breast or uterine cancers. In addition to treating hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms, research has shown that phytoestrogens may help prevent breast cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis (a degenerative bone disease). Phytoestrogens are found in soybeans, flaxseeds, black cohosh, alfalfa spouts, and other plants.
The average amount of soy recommended for women to help protect against breast cancer is 35 grams per day-also the average amount Asian women consume per day. 60 grams is the maximum amount of soy used in clinical trials involving breast cancer patients. Products rich in phytoestrogens include soy milk, tofu, roasted soy nuts, soy protein powders, and tempeh. Not all soy products contain phytoestrogens (also called isoflavones).

This is a perfect way to use up the half-empty bag of frozen shrimp that I always seem to have in the freezer. I toss the shrimp with some olive oil and broccoli and roast in the oven until the broccoli is golden brown and crisp. Toss with some coriander, cumin, cayenne and lemon, and you've got a perfect, delicious and easy paleo dinner. The roasted broccoli is addictive and great on its own as well.
You can find the recipe on my blog here.

Rivals.com said Flynn was the lone defender who could hang with superstar OJ Mayo, who scored 31 points in the scrimmage with a variety of jaw-dropping moves.
Rivals.com reports that the East squad used two six-man rotations (O.J. Mayo, Austin Freeman, Donte Greene, Patrick Patterson, Kosta Koufos and Nolan Smith and Jonny Flynn, Nick Calathes, Corey Stokes, J.J. Hickson, Gani Lawal and Chris Wright), but don't expect to see the two SU recruits on the court together much.
As for Donte Greene, Rivals.com said he shot the ball well from the perimeter but Gibbons made no mention of the forward from Towson Catholic.
With both sites predicting a huge OJ Mayo scoring binge tonight (the record is 31 points set by Jonathan Bender), don't expect much scoring from Flynn or Greene.

Oswego, NY -- An elderly Oswego woman died after being shot by her husband Monday, said Oswego Police Capt. Tory DeCaire.
Josephine Hyse, 86, of 207 E. Seventh St., was found dead with a gunshot wound to back of her head in their bedroom at 6:45 p.m. Her husband, Richard Hyse, was also found dead in the residence. Police said Wednesday that the both of the bodies were found together on the same bed.
Police have ruled Josephine Hyse's death a homicide. They are still investigating whether Richard Hyse committed suicide.
Police said they did not believe any third party was involved in either death.
The cause of Richard Hyse's death likely won't be determined until after toxicology reports are finished, which could take several weeks.
Autopsies showed both Josephine and Richard Hyse ingested a significant amount of prescription narcotics before their deaths.
Dr. Richard Hyse became noted in academic circles and both Hyses became prominent in Oswego community affairs and the arts.

9 Responses to "Automatix2 Setup in Debian Etch"
you download the wrong key at top
thanks poh i have modified the correct key now
Automatix will totally destroy your system on upgrade. And the author is unwilling to fix that. Automatix is sad example of hype that will crash you system :/
Anybody else bothered by the add for the M$ "Get the facts" website?
Seems that most of these programs are already available in the Debian repositories.
The ones that aren't can be optained from the debian-multimedia.org repositories.
I do like how it presents various applications in a way that my non-Linux geeks friends and family will like.
But I am concerned about what exactly this does to a stock Debian install. I don't want to do anything that will disrupt the dpkg system. Does it put non-packaged stuff in any of the system directories?
The installation worked but it didn't run on my comp saying it's not the correct version of debian. I'm running on Etch RC1
its custom made only for etch i.e. 4.0 and will niether run on 4.0RC or on unstable or testing distro, so people who want cuttin edge will not be able to work with automatix.
also now it is officially recemended not to use automatix coz it can severly disrupt the working of normal system.
better is to stick with you synaptic system and if you want new packages add debian-multimedia repo and debian-unoffical reposatories.
Actually, this "4.0r0" limitation is pretty restricting. My system is running stable, up-to-date, and really as Etch as it could possibly be. Yet my version check reports "not found" and thus I cannot use Automatix2 at all. What a shame!
Can someone let me know where I would normally find this revision number so I can make an attempt at updating it to bring my system into uniformity with the masses (or just spoofing it so I can run the program). Thanks.
To fix the version problem, perform the following:
First u need to install tango-icon-theme here is the link for deb package:
second download and install automatix
link: http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/dists/etch…r0etch_i386.deb
after that open console, become root and run that command
gedit /usr/lib/automatix2/startup.py
and change the following lines
#get distro version…
#conf.uVersion = getDistVersion()
#self.splashArea.prog.set_text("Found %s…"%conf.uVersion)
#if axConf.distro['version'] != conf.uVersion or axConf.distro['name'] != conf.uName:
#alert("This version of Automatix is for %s %s only"%(axConf.distro['name'],axConf.distro['version']),sys.exit)
#check enviroment for synaptic ect…
save and exit gedit…
and start automatix!
thats all

End 1st: SU tries a fake FG where Pat Shadle pitches the ball to his holder John Barker on a run to the right side. It didn't work well. I don't understand why you would just give away three points like that on a play in which everything needs to turn right. This may completely change the game.
Teams have really been trying to kick away from true frosh KR Max Suter and with good reason. However, after two consecutive great returns from Mike Holmes, they might think about going back to Suter... or just kicking it out of bounds.
2:13 remaining: Great play design as on 3rd and Goal from the 1, the Mountaineers cash in on a fake handoff and Pat White run to the far pylon. I'll take White in a footrace with anyone on the SU defense and that is what WVU OC Calvin Magee was thinking with that play call. Mountaineers 14-7.
What makes Steve Slaton so good? Well, a bunch of reasons but the thing that impresses me the most is his ability to change directions as he did on that catch and run on 3rd and long. There are way more people in college football than you think that can run as fast as Slaton. There are few, if any, that can stop on a dime, change directions and not lose a step like Slaton.
4:28 remaining: Pat White does such a great job of not running to contact. He isn't the biggest guy in the world and knows it. He follows his blockers and is a very patient runner.
6:38 remaining: SU comes right back and take the ball straight down the field and scores on a Curtis Brinkley 1 yard leap over the pile to make it 7-7. The Orange ran a lot more straight, downhill runs to Brinkley and hit WVU right in the mouth. Brinkley looks to be a back 100% from his knee troubles and over the course of the last few weeks has proved to be a better back than Jeremy Sellers.
11:59 remaining: West Virginia marches 37 yards down the field in 5 plays. They scored on a option pitch from White to Owen Schmitt after a fake to Steve Slaton. White pitched it at the last possible moment and really made the lay. WVU 7-0.
13:12 remaining: Andrew Robinson's pass over the middle is tipped by Mike Williams and intercepted by WVU's Ryan Mundy. The pass was in front of William's a bit and was thrown with way too much emphasis.

"The Company You Keep"
A former 1960s militant radical fugitive turns herself in for the death of a bank guard from a robbery 30 years ago, flushing out one of her comrades in arms.
Robert Redford directs and stars in this thoughtful thriller touching on the conflict between idealism and daily existence.
He plays a former member of the Weathermen, an underground student group dedicated to violently protesting the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Three decades later, he's the father of an adorable 11-year-old girl, giving him markedly different priorities.
Redford, comfortable in jeans and leather jacket, doesn't cut a dashing figure anymore, but he exudes confidence at the center of this unfolding mystery.
As he avoids a police manhunt while hunting down old friends who don't want to be contacted, he sees just how much has changed over the years. "We've turned into our parents," he realizes. In learning about others' secrets, he learns a lot about himself.
Shia LaBeouf brings energy as a gritty reporter willing to bend the rules to get a scoop. It's nice to see this talented actor in a role that doesn't involve giant robots. His interview of a jailed protester, played perfectly by Susan Sarandon, boils down the still-relevant issues swirling around them.
Cleveland native Terrence Howard is solid as the FBI man charged with catching these supposed domestic terrorists, who have embarrassed law enforcement for decades.
The superb cast includes Julie Christie, Sam Elliott, Brendan Gleeson, Richard Jenkins, Anna Kendrick, Brit Marling, Stanley Tucci, Nick Nolte and Chris Cooper.
R, 122 minutes. Extras: four behind-the-scenes featurettes, red carpet footage and a press conference. From Sony. Released Aug. 13.

Traditional Sport Climbing in FRANCE.
Europe has been the source of climbing innovation, rather than traditionalism.Yet, you can still visit the old school crags and experience routes on which modern climbing was founded.
In the 1970s, two areas were the stages for a new generation of rock routes: The Verdon and Mont Sainte-Victoire. There, climbers broke with the ideals which valued long aid routes in high mountains above pure free climbing. These two limestone areas revolutionized the way climbs were judged, as special rules for free climbing infringed upon or even reversed the predominant values. The use of points of aid was rejected and a new ethic came into existence. The first modern climbing shoes were developed for these routes, and pitons were used as little as possible because of their association with aid climbing. But don't be surprised if you come face to face with an old rusty piton or two, bearing witness to the time before the free climbing revolution.
Young climbers prefer overhanging terrain, similar to the gyms they train in, but the sheer, off-vertical walls of these areas offer a whole different experience. Facing those hard and beautiful walls with their stiff grades will benefit even the most gym-oriented climber. Such routes demand commitment, good footwork and reading sequences properly. Mont Sainte-Victoire and Verdon offer adventure, and some of the nicest routes of the South of France.
article continues after advertisement
La Montagne Sainte-Victoire :
Above Aix en Provence, not far from the Mediterranean Sea, this mountain is the home of at least a thousand routes. These are run-out, committing and sequencey climbs that require good footwork. Try the legendary, seldom repeated big routes, OVNI or Hyper Médius, both 6c (5.11b) and you will understand. These climbs require a strong constitution and perfect foot work. It is here that Christian Guyomar and Christian Hautcoeur wrote a page in the history of climbing. Four decades ago, they climbed these routes using hooks and bad pitons. Since then, bolts have replaced these, but the runouts are still there, so you will be stepping into a bygone era of boldness. The strenouous athletics of the average sport route are replaced by precarious footwork. Tight shoes and steel fingers are essential.
Finally, let us emphasize that judgement and mental fortitude play big parts. Sainte-Victoire is the ultimate test for mental weakness. If you climb here enough, your confidence will increase. And if this type of climbing you like, you will love the even more exposed routes of the Verdon.
The Verdon : Back to the Source
The Verdon is a magical word, alive with legend. Who hasn't dreamed of this place, where yawning space is beneath you at every belay. Halfway between the Mediterranean and the Alps of Haute-Provence, the Verdon River – now just a turquoise trickle of water- has carved out this canyon of high, smooth limestone walls. The first routes date back to the years 1966-67 and in the following decades, new routes of many different styles were developed, making the Verdon one of the great venues of modern climbing.
It takes some nerve to get used to climbing here. It's not unusual for a climber to feel a little uneasy the first time they lean out over the Escales sector and an updraft from 600 m of nothingness beneath tousles their hair.
Imagine what it is like to hold the thin crimp at the crux of a pitch, feet smeared, everything in a precarious balance above the void. Yes, the ambience is airy, but then again, we are in the land of the big routes.
The choice is so wide as to be almost limitless, since there are more than 1,000 routes on the right wall and 400 on the left wall, many of which are 10 to 15 pitches long. With such a large number, you have to let your choice be guided by the status of the route, your ability and your preferred style, whether that includes tufas, slabs, overhanging walls, roofs, sport climbing or aid climbing.
General info:
1 USD = about 0.67 Euro, 1 Euro = 1.49 USD
Allow about 25 Euros per day for lodging and food.
Best season:
Sainte-Victoire : All year-round
Verdon : From April to October. Note that during the winter it is possible to climb on some warm days in the sun.
Getting there:
Fly to Marseille or Nice. The simplest way from there is to hire a vehicle at the airport. The different agencies (Ada, Hertz, Avis etc.) offer an average economy-size car for about €25/day. La Palud-sur-Verdon is 125km from Nice and 170km from Marseille, and Sainte-Victoire is 35km from Marseille and 180km from Nice.
Sainte-Victoire :
In Puyloubier, at the foot of the mountain. You can cook for yourself. Approximately 8 Euros a night. Or in the same village, the campsite, "The Cezanne" charges € 6-7 a person per night.
The Cafe Saint-Victoire offers local cuisine in a shaded square.
Topos :
Escalade en Pays d'Aix, D. Gorgeon and P. Légier
Verdon :
Practical info:
'Base Camp' is usually La Palud-sur-Verdon, a little village of 300 inhabitants a few kilometres from the gorges. You will find everything you need there.
For those who wish for comfort, or allergic to tents, the Gite "de l'arc-en-ciel" (the Rainbow) offers lodging for €10.50/night. For campers, try Camping municipal de la Palud-sur-Verdon, or Le Bourbon, at €3-4 per person a night.
There is a small grocery store with basic items and a few local specialties.
Most shops in La Palud stock it. Or try www.leilagramusas.fr

HOLYOKE - Firefighters are battling a stubborn blaze at an abandoned two-family house on West Street.
The fire was first reported at about 5:20 p.m. and smoke blanketed the neighborhood around East Dwight, West Dwight and West streets, Fire Lt. Thomas Paquin said.
The home has been empty for at least two years, according to neighbors and firefighters, and it is not believed anyone was inside when the fire started.
"Gaining access was a challenge because it is so overgrown," Paquin said.
Most of the flames were extinguished in 20 minutes, but firefighters are struggling with the fire re-igniting in the building, he said.
Shortly after firefighters thought most of the fire was extinguished, it started again, burning through the roof of the back and threatening a nearby apartment complex and a duplex.
Firefighters, who were inside the building, were ordered out for safety reasons.
Firefighters had to cut through a gate of a chain link fence and climb up concrete steps overgrown with brush just to reach the front door of the home, which is set back from the road.
It was slightly easier to gain access to the back of the house, which is near an alley, he said.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Birmingham police can hold felony suspects longer before having to file charges against them, under a temporary agreement the city has worked out with plaintiffs in a 39-year-old lawsuit that led to restrictions on city arrest procedures.
Birmingham in January had asked U.S. District Court Judge David Proctor to scrap a 1984 order stemming from that lawsuit that the city says is outdated and hampers police work. That order limits city police to detaining felony suspects no longer than 8 hours before the police must either release the person or charge them and transfer them to the Jefferson County Jail.
Since that 1984 order, courts have recognized a standard 48-hour period for city police departments nationwide and Birmingham has asked to be allowed to follow that procedure.
"We are certainly glad that this court order has been lifted," Deputy Chief of Detectives, Herman Hinton stated in an email. "In fact, we were the only agency in the United States under this federal guideline. Lifting this order means that we can investigate our cases more thoroughly and not be governed or handicapped by an 8 hour rule."
"While our detectives and officers are elated
about this change, we are cognizant of the fact that we can ill afford to do
anything to cause the court to reinstate this order," Hinton stated.
Birmingham Police Chief, A.C. Roper stated that "this ruling really levels the playing field for our Officers and Detectives. I do believe ultimately it helps our citizens who've been victimized in some fashion by affording us the same opportunities and timelines as other agencies."
Attorneys for the City of Birmingham and the defendants in the 1974 case about two weeks ago filed a joint motion asking Proctor to allow city police to begin using the 48-hour rule on a temporary basis so it can show the judge it can meet the requirements.
In order to demonstrate that it is complying with laws and criminal procedures, the city over the next 90 days will gather statistics on arrests in the parts of the city originally covers when the consent decree was entered on June 29, 1984, according to the motion. Those statistics will include the time an arrest is made and the time either a warrant was obtained or the suspect was released.
"If the City of Birmingham is found to have met these requirements, a final order should issue releasing it from the Court's Order of June 29, 1984," according to the joint motion.
Proctor on Monday issued an order regarding the memorandum of understanding. He stated that on or before July 8, both sides are to submit a joint report regarding the status of the statistics being gathered and "how this matter should proceed in light of those statistics."
The statistics will be gathered for a period of ninety days from the date of the order and in the parts of the city as it stood when the 1984 order was imposed. The city now expands into Shelby County, for example.
"The City of Birmingham acknowledges that the 48 hour limit is not a period of time to be followed in most cases, as the obligation remains to charge and transfer persons as soon as is practical is required by the applicable law and the Constitution," according to the joint motion. "The City of Birmingham acknowledges its obligations under the current law and procedure to Plaintiffs' class and agrees to follow applicable law and the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure to ensure that persons arrested on felony charges are not unduly detained without bond in the Birmingham City Jail."
Bill Dawson and Donald Colee are attorneys for plaintiffs in the 1974 lawsuit.
Dawson said Thursday that under their temporary accord with the city, police arrests will be reviewed until July to insure compliance with the 48-hour rule. "We will see how it goes from there," he said.
The point of the 1974 lawsuit Frederick McGill et al. v Birmingham, Dawson has said, was that Birmingham police at that time were holding felony suspects in the city jail, sometimes as long as a week on relatively minor offenses, before they would be transferred to the Jefferson County Jail where they could make bond.
Suspects cannot bond out of city jails on felony charges.
The June 29, 1984 order from U.S. District Court Judge J. Foy Guin Jr. requires the Birmingham Police Department to "ensure that any individual arrested by the Birmingham Police Department on a possible felony charge be served with a warrant and transferred to the Jefferson County Jail within eight hours of said arrest."
If Birmingham detectives need to hold the suspects longer than eight hours, according to the order, they can ask a Jefferson County judge for an additional forty hours if necessary, but the detective must show "extraordinary circumstances."
Birmingham has argued that the 8 hour rule and the requirement for a 40-hour extension forces undue haste and requires the detective to break off during the critical early stages of an investigation to seek out a judge and request the extension.

One of the constants about Bob Toledo at Tulane is that he has answered questions and refused to sugarcoat, that he brutally has been honest and if feelings were hurt, so be it.
Now doesn't seem to be the time to go mute.
Now is one of those times he needs to talk. Because -- outside looking in -- there's some stink attached to defensive coordinator O'Neill Gilbert being the only assistant fired after the recently completed 2-10 season, when the Green Wave collapsed in all phases. And there are questions begging to be answered.
"Philosophical differences" would do as a reason for the dismissal. "Going in a different direction" might work. "The chemistry wasn't right" probably would pass, for a fan base that wonders what happened and probably wouldn't mind seeing several heads roll because of it.
But a two-sentence, university-issued statement is a little too vague, especially when only one head rolls after one of the most disappointing Tulane seasons in a long, long time.
Gilbert is defending himself, same as anyone would who felt he'd been made a scapegoat. Same as the secondary coach would've felt slighted, the offensive line coach would've felt singled out or the running backs coach would've felt picked on.
Because a team doesn't get to 2-10 on the single performance of one coach, doesn't lose eight consecutive games solely because the defense didn't hold up its end of the bargain.
That kind of diminishing return is a collaborative effort, an unfortunate and awful fusion of misfortune and ineptitude.
The defense Gilbert coached, obviously, deteriorated. The numbers don't lie, and while it's reflexive to attribute the demise to injuries, the fact is a coach's job is to get the most out of what he has and, sometimes, to squeeze even more out of what he has than people thought he could.
But when Gilbert said he's "not the only problem on that team" and that there's "something wrong with this picture, " it's hard to not give some merit to the charges.
True -- outside looking in, again -- we can't be sure of what happened behind closed doors. We're not privy to the conversations/disagreements shared by the head coach and his former defensive coordinator. Only Toledo and Gilbert truly know if there was tension, if there was a chemistry problem, if the differences were irreconcilable and why the schism existed.
But when only one assistant is asked to resign Wednesday, and then fired a day later, after a team thoroughly and completely struggles as thoroughly and completely as did Tulane, it begs for clarification from the head coach.
Certainly, one coach wasn't responsible for holding back the Green Wave in 2008. Surely, one coaching addition for 2009 won't miraculously cure what ailed Tulane's defense, though the new coordinator will benefit from having players who are more seasoned and have game experience they otherwise might not have received if all had gone according to plan.
But if that one guy was the difference between Tulane winning a couple of more games or being more competitive in five more games, that much needs to be said, too. It needs to be clear why the offense can regress, without the dismissal of people involved with overseeing its development, and the defense and Gilbert didn't receive that same luxury.
I don't doubt Toledo had his reasons for firing Gilbert. The fact is, it's his team and, ultimately, he'll be held responsible for the results. So if there's a reason he believes those results aren't as good as they should be, or won't be as good as they should be in the future, he should look out for his program and himself.
Plus, again, Tulane's defensive numbers were well below unflattering at the end. After four very good showings to start the season, the Green Wave defense turned to mush down the stretch. All those yards and points allowed -- 693 and 42 against Houston, 593 and 56 against Tulsa, 468 and 45 against Memphis -- didn't buffer Gilbert from criticism.
But not much that happened down the stretch buffered any Green Wave football coach from criticism.
Only Gilbert has been subjected to the ultimate cut, the loss of his job.
Toledo, usually, is as open and honest when assessing his team as you'll ever see a coach. Now isn't the time to clam up. Not when there seems to be plenty of blame to go around, and only one coach appears to have been identified as the source.

I am writing this letter to voice my utter disgust at the attitudes that many of the speed bikers have toward leisurely bikers and walkers on the Saginaw Valley Rail Trail. I recently was cussed at by a speed biker for not moving over to the side fast enough. This biker had to have been traveling over 30 miles per hour.
I think this is ridiculous. There are families with small children and pets that use this trail for their personal enjoyment. If I had been a small child, I could have been run over by this particular speed biker. These people are making the Rail Trail a dangerous place instead of something for everyone to enjoy. They also act like they own the trail.
After this particular experience, I never want to use the Rail Trail again, which is a shame because the Rail Trail was put into place for Saginaw-area citizens to enjoy. I have talked to other people who had similar experiences and no longer use the trail. I think that Saginaw County should either outlaw speed biking on the Rail Trail or create a new trail particularly for these speed bikers. Either way, something needs to be done, and something needs to be done soon.

Herkimer, NY -- State police said an Ilion man was the driver of a silver Toyota Camry that struck and killed a Syracuse University senior last Saturday on the Thruway, near the Town of German Flatts.
Edward G. MacKenzie II, 48 was identified today as the driver involved in the early morning crash that killed Jamie B. Klemczak of Albany. The 21-year-old was on her way home and was attempting to cross the westbound lanes of the Thruway to get help after her car went off the roadway.
MacKenzie turned himself in to state police on Sunday morning. State police had been looking for a damaged silver Toyota after a part from the vehicle was found near Klemczak's body.
An investigation into the accident is continuing and criminal charges are pending, according to a news release from state police.
