ST. CATHARINES, ON Canada - Once again, our Canada Border Services Agency is making it sound like they are standing on guard for thee.
But once again, the rampant paranoia over the border we share with the United States is chipping away at our privacy and it scares me how some people continue to rationalize it .
Airports and border crossings across Canada are being wired with high-definition cameras and microphones that can listen in on your supposedly private conversations before and after your cross-border interview.
The snooping equipment is already in place at some airports and border points, as part of an effort to enhance "border integrity, infrastructure and asset security and health and safety."
In a release, the head honchos with CBSA went on to weakly explain "it is important to note that even though audio technology is installed, no audio is recorded at this time. It will become functional at a later date."
Is that supposed to make us feel better?
It's not recording us — yet. In fact, the government admitted this week some visitors to Halifax had indeed already been been listened to, and recorded.
Faced with questions from reporters and privacy advocates, our fearless leaders backtracked a bit this week and said the program was being temporarily halted to make sure it wasn't bending one or two rules.

Teachers targeting House members who voted to remove tenure rights. The Topeka Capital Journal's Andy Marso on Wednesday explored a growing movement among current and retired teachers in the state to organize against lawmakers who voted to remove their teacher tenure as part of a cobbled together school finance bill. "Teachers were seeking to make House Bill 2506 the main 2014 campaign issue even before the Legislature returned for its veto session," Marso writes. "Kansas National Education Association spokesman Mark Desetti said they plan to continue now that the session has ended. 'I think what we're doing is mobilizing to do everything we can to affect the outcome of individual House races as well as statewide races,' Desetti said. 'This is a statewide issue.'" All of the northeast Johnson County representatives voted against the controversial bill. [Education emerges as key to House races — Topeka Capital Journal]

We all know biology, our genes, makes us who we really are. What makes Whites creative and intelligent is our genes, and the genes of Mexicans makes them who they are.
What makes Mexicans so dangerous is their "Indian" (Amerind, Native American) blood. They may call themselves "Hispanic", but there is very little Spanish blood there. If there were, they would not have been savages and Mexico would be more like Spain. They would be more like industrious and civilized Europeans than savages. Instead, they are "mestizos" or mixed blood. http://www2.truman.edu/~marc/webpage...t/mestizo.html
One study shows that the Asian blood in them is not from Siberia, as earlier finds thought...but rather, Mongolia. Mongols were warring people.
Amerinds were cannibals throughout the Americas. Amerinds scalped other tribes and Whites. It is amazing White settlers pushed westward with the attacks on them by Amerind tribes. Amerinds were truly savages. We can see this still today, with the violence in Mexico and the increase in crimes in the US with the growing number of Mexicans.

UPDATE 3-Toronto stocks get boost from resources, energy
(Adds details, comments)
By Wojtek Dabrowski
TORONTO Jan 14 (Reuters) - The benchmark index of the Toronto Stock Exchange finished higher on Monday as resource and energy issues offset a disappointing performance from the financial sector, which continued to waver in the face of the global credit crisis.
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE rose 65.71 points, or 0.48 percent, to close at 13,698.28.
Gold surged to a historic high above $910 an ounce on a weaker U.S. dollar and expectations of a U.S. interest rate cut, lifting with it the TSX's resource-laden materials sector, which added 2.32 percent.
Financials dragged on the broader index, shedding 1.07 percent on the day. Shortly before the end of the session, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM.TO: Quote) said it will take US$1.6 billion in after-tax writedowns related to its involvement in the battered U.S. subprime mortgage market. It also plans to raise C$2.75 billion to shore up its balance sheet.
It stock was last at C$72.07, up 76 Canadian cents, before being halted.
"I think the financial sector had a tougher time today, to put it mildly, and I think that's a reflection of the risks that are pretty severe in this business," said Glenn MacNeill, vice-president of investments at Sentry Select Capital Corp.
Energy shares also helped prop up the Toronto market, rising 1.37 percent. Continued...

"Defense wins championships" has always been kind of a misleading idiom. You simply need to out score your opponent to win a football game.
The NFL has done its part in recent years to help the offense its score points in bunches. Meanwhile, the Browns and scoring points haven't been the best of friends the last two seasons. The Browns' offense was stuck in a system that last worked 20 years ago and, as a result, they averaged 13.6 points per game in 2011 and 18.9 in 2012.
The Rob Chudzinski era began in Berea on Friday, Jan. 10 and with it a new offense philosophy. That philosophy is predicated on an "attacking" offense, according to the Toledo native. Moreover, it isn't about forcing players to adjust to a system, but adapting your players' skill sets to a philosophy.
Chudzinski is an offensive-minded coach, but he won't be the only one in the building. Norv Turner, who was recently fired as head coach of the San Diego Chargers, will be the Browns new offensive coordinator.
"Norv has been one of the most respected offensive coaches in the NFL over the last 25-30 years, and he has had a tremendous amount of success at each one of his stops – as a position coach, coordinator and head coach," Chudzinski said in a press release. "I was able to learn a great deal in the time that I worked for him in San Diego, and I expect that having him as our offensive coordinator will make a big impact on that side of the ball."
Chudzinski didn't speak directly about Turner at his introductory news conference Jan. 10 and neither would owner Jimmy Haslam or CEO Joe Banner. Chudzinski did talk football. Offensive football.
"I like to be balanced," Chudzinski said. "Balance, to me, is not running the ball and throwing the ball the same amount of times. You run when you need to run to win it and you throw when you need to throw it to win.
"You need to win games different ways in this league."
Turner, 60, has a career record of 118-126-1 after head coaching stints in Washington (1994-2000), Oakland (2004-05) and San Diego (2007-12). Yet it is his stints as offensive coordinator, especially in Dallas (1991-93) where he seems to excel.
Chudzinski was the Chargers assistant head coach and tight ends coach from 2009-10. During those two years, the Chargers were 22-10 and averaged 28.4 and 27.6 points per game, respectively. In 2011, with Chudzinski in Carolina, the Chargers fell to 25.4 points per game.
"Being in San Diego prepared me and allowed me to see the day-to-day things head coaches deal with that come across their desk," Chudzinski said. "I got a good sense of what this job would entail."
Turner's job would be a role reversal, as the former boss becomes the underling. Turner never succeeded as a head coach and, the narrative was, he could never take advantage of a talented roster and get his teams into — advance far into — the playoffs.
But it was his role as the Cowboys offensive coordinator during the early 90s that has carried his NFL career.
Chudzinski has never been a head coach before. It makes sense from his point of view to hire someone he's worked with, he likes and he is on the same page with from an offensive philosophy standpoint.
It also appears Chudzinski and Turner have pieces on this Browns' roster that fits with their philosophies. Brandon Weeden has the strong arm to lead a vertical passing attack. Josh Gordon has the size and speed to get down field, as does Greg Little. Finally, a healthy Trent Richardson behind an above average offensive line is a promising pairing.
It comes down to the quarterback. And what is the one big key for a young quarterback to succeed in the NFL? He's got to be placed into the right system. A year ago, Weeden's natural abilities were thwarted with the West Coast offense. Now, it appears those abilities will be able to be unleashed.
Things are aligning for the Browns to possess a bona fide NFL offense and one that will help this team compete and win football games.
"(Rob) is a very decisive person," Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said. "We met five to six hours at the house the other day. He has a clear offensive philosophy and he's clear what his role in the defense and special teams will be. It's very well thought out and defined. He understands, decisively, how important it is to have a strong support team around him, too."

Do I need to replace my circuit breaker box?
1 Attachment(s)
I need to add another line, but all the slots are full, do I need to replace the circuit breaker box?
It a Murray lc1224l1125
Looks like the 3 or 4th up on the right is not used or labeled> Can you remove a breaker and install 2 slimline breakers?
the electrician who replace the circuit breaker panel was too lazy to label it. So what you're saying it that I can replace the fat circuit breaker with 2 slim ones? If so, what type should I use? I looked online and can't seem to find any slim 20a.
You need to open the cover and see if every breaker has a wire on it. The 4-15 amp breakers look like slimline's or (pancakes or whatever you want to call them) from the picture.
Slimelines are a single pole breaker that only takes up 1/2 of a space. I don't like them. Your panel is rated for certain amount of breakers. Check and see how many breakers it is designed for. It will be on the label or you can contact the manufacturer to find out. Then count the breakers you have. If you have the correct amount with no spares or more than recommended (Slimline's) included then you just might have to change it out.
In the picture, does it show all the breakers or did you cut off the top of the panel.
Those unmarked breakers could be hiding a spare. So look inside.
The model number you listed gave all the information you need as to the panel and its # of circuits. It is a main lug 12 space 24 circuit single phase 125 amp panel. If every single space has a tandem or twin single pole breaker in it you will have 2 x 12 = 24.... 120 volt circuits. Any space above the bottom two double pole breakers for the oven and cooktop can have tandem breakers installed. So all those 20 amp single poles can be replaced with tandem breakers like the 15's. Only be sure to install 20 amp tandems. Like the others said I'd check to see if that tandem 15 that isn't labeled is being used. My guess is yes since it is in the 'on' position. Don't be to quick to critisize your electrician there are usually a lot of reasons why something may or may not have been done. If that tandem 15 is being used you still have 6 single pole circuits available to you using tandem breakers.
Tandems are designed and listed for use in this panel so they are fine to use and will perform as well as any other breaker.
Murray tandems are common.... you should be able to get them locally just about anywhere.
So you need to tell us what voltage or appliance is required for your new circuit then we can determine if you need a tandem or a double pole breaker. You will be able to do either.
1 Attachment(s)
I just got these from lowes.
It's the same type (MH-T) as the 2 15a already in the circuit breaker panel.
The master bathroom circuit breaker is connected to a GFI and a light fixture. I'm planning to replace that with the circuit breaker that I just bought. The new line is going to the garage to run light tools (drill), vacuum, lights and on special occasion 4 computers, monitors and speakers. We don't really plugged in anything in the GFI outlet in the bathroom, don't like to use hair dryer.
The master bath appears to be position 1 on the panel in the upper left. Just remove it and install your 20 amp tandem. Reconnect the black wire for the bathroom to the new breaker. Then your good to run your new branch circuit.
Thanks everyone.:thumbup:

Some electrical issues that are driving me bonkers
Hi, I'm new on the forum, and I know it's bad form to just post away, but I have been searching everywhere and my problem still seems unique. If someone can point me to a pre-existing thread I missed I'll be happy to take it there, but in the meantime:
Recently bought an 89 YJ with the 4.2. Mechanically it's sound, everything worked good when I bought it, frame is good, needed bs work that I like doing anyway, and the price was right.
So I notice the brights are on when I'm driving it home from where I bought it, and I click the switch, and no low beams. Ok, whatever, flip the highs on and rock it home.
One day I'm killing some beers with a friend and we decide to take it down my land at night....start her up and no lights or radio. Turn signals still work. Since then I've been checking for shorts, connected two completely loose grounds in the engine bay, and been going insane. It looked like a wire that tied into a square-ish plug right next to the steering column was burned up so I replaced those and still nothing. Fuses are good. Has an aftermarket cd head unit.
Now the annoying thing here is that I was going down the road one day during the day, and I repeatedly try to turn on the radio, and it came on in 4th gear, but instantly turned off when I clutched in to shift. Happened a couple times. Just now going to get food the radio came on when I started it in my garage briefly then off, then on again then off, then stayed off. This points to a ground somewhere in my mind, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I've been looking at the chilton's and wiring stuff is really hard for me to comprehend for some reason so before I go completely insane is there a specific place to check? Is there a common ground for headlights and radio? If anyone can give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated.
look up under the dash where the clutch pedal is. there may be a wire bundle being affected by the pedal.
Negative. Just checked that thoroughly. Also, no brake lights. Don't know why I forgot to mention that.
in front of the battery there are relays. have you looked at them. some are interchangable. check them for corrosion.
Done and done, little bit of gunk on the relays, sanded and sprayed to make sure they are really clean, the connector terminals looked pretty good. Still no dice. Thanks for the help by the way.
not a problem. keep an eye out here. we'll get er done.:punk:
It may seem like a lot of work, but I would start by looking at every ground, even the one that grounds the body to the chassis. tighten and and or replace every one. Also, if it's an after market radio, it may benefit you to remove it completely and make sure it's wired correctly. Again, might seem like a pain in the butt, but if the previous owner of your Jeep was retarded like the previous owner of mine, God knows what kind of mess you'll find behind the dash. I honestly don't know what kept my Jeep from burning to the ground before I rewired the whole damn thing. :D
Then, if you still have issues, check the headlight switch, dimmer switch and the rolling dimmer that dims the dash lights next to the headlight switch. Always start cheap and work up to the pricey stuff.
Good luck!
Ok I'm going through the grounds and now I have a question about a fusible link. I Grounded it out on the frame when it was just dangling, it ties into what I guess is the dash wiring, it connects in right behind the battery and disappears into the firewall there. This is the only fusible link I see. I tried tying it to power and no good on anything that way either. I noticed the gauge panel is not working either, I know it did when I bought the car. I am terrible with this electrical stuff so please bear with me.
P.S. I didn't know it was a link at first, I thought it was an engine ground for some reason. My mustang basically blew up on me the other night so I've got motors go around in my head making coo coo clock noises.
And also, ccain, when you say check the switches you me to check whether they are getting power with a test light correct? just yank the plug and test with key on? last thing, body to chassis grounds are all over or what? not sure where to look and if you can save me from going crosseyed looking at chiltons I would be grateful. Sorry if I'm being a huge jackass here.
Easy way to solve the grounding issue.
Go to the nearest big box parts store & get 4 or 5 ground straps (braided), they are cheap too.
Ground the battery to the tub, (right behind the battery) then find the battery ground wire. It should ground to the block. Unbolt it, then clean it & the block. From that bolt, run a strap to the frame & one to the alternator case.
Next, go under the dash & ground the frame of the dash to the tub. If you can grab the metal that holds the speedo, tach etc. this would be better.
I have even read where it's good to run a dedicated ground wire, from the alt case to the speedo ground terminal.
Above all, clean any connections thoroughly ( take off any paint with sandpaper) & use dielectric tune up grease to seal everything up.
soooo...definitely going to look into the grounding issue, thanks buckshot.
However, starting to think it's not a ground. Link I found= stereo subwoofer something or other? anyhoo it's nothing to do with anything necessary.
Here's the real clinker: been diving into the chiltons this evening and looking through diagrams and all. What I have found here is this:
I'm getting power to about half my fuses in the fuse block. Most of the fusible links are completely gone and just tied in with wires. There is a small rectangular box (if you are looking from the grillstraight in) to the bottom right of the battery that had two, count 'em two, positive leads off the battery tied into it. One was completely good and tied in and all, the other was tied into a red/red wire from the battery and barely hanging on on this little rectangular piece. Basically what to take away here is that half my fuse block seems to be getting power and that I found a power wire near the battery that doesn't seem to really be connected to anything. Ripped it off and everything still runs the same. This probably had a plow or winch at one point.
Synopsis: I spent 9 hours at a desk, then came home, pulled heads on a modular mustang, then started playing with electrical on a jeep i'm not familiar with. Forgive me for this wired post. I'll clear anything specific up in the morning.
P.S. buckshot I will be grinding down to metal with a dremel and securely grounding all that shit tomorrow thoroughly to make sure. I'm getting this damn thing done within a week. Hooah.
The small box, is it on the firewall? If so, this is the starter relay.
You'll want to put all the fusible links back, since they are the only thing between you & lots of fire should anything go wrong.
I just posted in another member's thread about this:
The Chilton's diagrams can be pretty helpful, once you understand what your looking at!
I think they are even direct copies of the "Factory Service Manual" drawings.
alright got a new one for everyone. Got it wet the other day and pull into my garage and turn off the key and the damn thing stays on. Where to even start with this one?
OK the relays on the battery holder are for the intake manifold heater, & the electric choke.
I'm not sure where the headlight relay is, but suspect it's under the dash.
As for the new problem, it may be the ignition switch or the resistance wire that feeds the coil.
Fact of the matter is, you need better help with this one.
I don't see him listed on this board, may be here & going by another name.
I know you can find JunkYardGenius at http://www.jeepsunlimited.com
He hangs on the CJ forum. Mind your manners around him, & he can be a huge help. I remember him talking about why the key sometimes won't shut off the ignition. Just can't remember what thread.
He also has a website;
Electrical is taken care of. Was a combo of issues but got it taken care of today minus the non turning off. I guess on that I'm gonna start with the ignition switch and then head towards the control module.
Thanks for all the help and support guys.

New Book Discusses American Methodism
TEMPE, Ariz.
Having served as a staff to the Structure Study Commission of the General Conference of 1968, author Paul F. McCleary wants this generation of church leadership to be aware of the institutional history and the debate on structure that continues to give form to the current polity. With this in mind, McCleary pens "Reform Movements in Methodism and How They Were Treated (1784-1830)," a comprehensive book that explores and dissects how and to what degree the Methodist denomination's form of government is contributing to the present day society's current malaise.
"In early Methodism, there was a strong discipline exercised. When some very meaningful reformers emerged, how did the church deal with them? Was it right? How did that affect the church?" The author asks.
Above questions are answered as McCleary examines early reform movements in American Methodism and their impact on the governance within the denomination - how churches respond to each reform is detailed. The book will be of special interest to all of those who are concerned about how institutions change. A conserving institution such as the church is under constant pressures to move in new directions. How churches respond to every reform is vitally important to the future of the institution. A secondary purpose is to initiate a study of the ramifications the Episcopal form of government has on the vitality of a local congregation of the United Methodist Church.
Giving a clearer picture of the two sides of the coin, McCleary invites everyone to join him in examining "Reform Movements in Methodism and How They Were Treated (1784-1830)" as these are vital information on how present church problems can be addressed. This is the first of what will be a trilogy on church renewal in American Methodism.

Swedish Man Captures Creepy Audio on his Car Radio
A man in Sweden has captured some eerie audio on a car radio and he posted his experience to reddit.
The audio on the radio is a loud piercing noise with odd voices that weren't part of any radio broadcast. Here's what was posted on the reddit /r/TheTruthIsHere forum
Hi. I'm kinda freaking out right now. My friend dropped me off were I live and when I got home I got a text from him to hurry back to the car. I ran back and entered the car. The radio was doing alot of weird noises. There was a loud beep, and two different voices coming from the speakers. One male voice (perhaps russian) came from the left speaker, and a female voice (might be swedish, finnish or russian) came from the right one. They didn't stop talking and we heard numbers like 24.70 and 66.60 (not kidding). After awhile, a "sch" sound appeared and came and dissapeared over and over again like in morse-code. I freaked the fuck out and went home, and later got a text from my friend who said that a voice said the name of the location I'm living at, and after that he said "standing still". Also, notice in the video how the equalizer on the radio (6.46 in the video) is perfectly still when it should be moving like crazy. The warning-symbol was also glowing, which it didn't do before any of this happened.
Also, the location that he said on the radio is not the town I live in, but the area where I live in. There's like 10 appartment buildings here, so It's not that big. This was also after we had been standing outside the car for 2~ minutes smoking.
The message said something like: "Name of my location" and after that "standing still".
What's your thoughts?

Actually, this is quite relevant to Unicode, and that is why I'm
bringing it back on the list.
Unicode Technical Report #7, "Plane 14 Characters for Language Tags,"
makes a direct reference to RFC 1766:

If RFC 1766 can be construed by the XML spec as requiring the 1988
revisions of ISO 639 and ISO 3166, rather than newer revisions, then
it can be construed that way by UTR #7 as well. And that means I cannot
conformantly use some of the more recently created language codes such
as "ae" for "Avestan" or country codes such as "ps" for "Palestinian
Territory, Occupied" in Plane 14 language tags.
Can anyone comment on this? If RFC 1766 can realistically be read as
requiring outdated versions of ISO 639 and 3166, then it seems that UTR
#7 should be updated to bypass RFC 1766 entirely and refer directly to
ISO 639 and 3166.

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: Sue Burak Snow Survey Associates
Place: Red Cone bowl near Mammoth Lakes
State: CA
Country: USA
Summary: 2 skiers caught and injured
After a early season storm dropped a meter of snow over the Sierra
Crest on Oct. 28-29, two experienced local backcountry skiers
triggered a climax avalanche in the popular "Red Cone" bowl near
Mammoth Lakes, CA. One skier had a transceiver. The skier who
skied first down the bowl triggered the avalanche above his partner
who was already in the Bowl. He was carried through rocks and
suffered bruised femurs and wrists and was partially buried. The
other skier was carried about 50 meters and ended up on top of the
debris. Several skis and poles were lost. The crown was a meter
deep. Neither one thought the depth hoar layer from an early storm
posed much hazard.
This accident was a wake up call for the local backcountry
community, who often ski steep chutes and bowls with impunity
immediately after storms..

Michelle Rafter posted a letter of introduction (LOI) from a writer who took an ego trip. Instead of an ego trip, I heard from an accountant who must be taking a trip to find blockhead clients. The email introduction implies she thinks writers don't have business sense.
The email makes a bad first impression coming from a free email service provider using "free_lancer01" in the address and "abc efg" in the display name. (Maybe the "D" key didn't work.) Not only that, but she sent it to two others, one of which was someone I knew. Here's the message with only one part redacted.
Hi Dear:
You are a freelance writer and you know it needs a lot of time to make accouting records and financial statement and at same you also need the accounting knowledge. So to help you i would like to offer my services as a freelance accountant for you.
I would like to introduce my self . I am [sender's name]. I am a proffessional accountant and studying for ACCA and CA degree. I have indepth experience in the field of accounting and auditing as I am working for a multinational audit firm. I have compiled many accounts.
You will just need to your data to me through this email and i will make accounting statements for you.
Please refer to others as well who need a virtual accountant.
Looking forward to a positive response from your side.
Best Regards.
The email ended there. She didn't even sign her name. Sure, I'll fork over my financing information. Obviously, she put a little effort into it because she knew I was a writer. (And so is the other recipient I knew.) That's why I assume she thinks writers aren't business savvy. It's tempting to write back offering my writing services. but I'd rather not continue the conversation.
Not that free email services are bad. However, if you're going to use it in business, at least, display your name and have a less generic ID. Back it up with a signature that reveals more information. I use Gmail more than meryl.net email because spam is less of a problem. I also include a signature that links to my websites and social media profiles.
Have you ever received an unusual email introduction? What was it like? (I'd love to see it, if you have it.) How would you introduce yourself to prospective clients?
Oh my. I once got an email from someone who wanted me to write about their so-called time-tracking software on my blog. I don't write for free, but I was curious about the product and visited the website. Turns out the software was nothing more than a glorified keylogger.
I wrote the poor girl back and told her that I was insulted she'd ask me to practice my profession–my livelihood–for FREE and told her, "oh, by the way, that product is shady."
Meryl, I'm the other writer you know and I had the exact same reaction. I'll eventually write a post about how NOT to approach people you don't know, but this person did it all wrong.
And she took a couple of minutes of my valuable time, which today meant two minutes less at the beach in Capitola.
Yikes that is just awful! Every once in a while I'll get a request from someone wanting to write a guest post for Tumblemoose and the writing will be very similar. You probably don't have to guess my response.
Happy new year to you and I hope all is well.
@Emily, ouch. I don't just review anything and I always tell the company it will be an honest review. I will not pump it up or fake it. If they can handle it, then no review for you! 🙂
@John, well I turned the sour lemon into lemonade by creating a post out of it. Hope you enjoyed the beach while you were there.
@George, sounds like the same ones I get! I've been fortunate to find a few diamond guests.
I guess on the positive side she was having a go… clearly not a very well informed go, but she was trying.
Mind you, a spell check wouldn't go astray either…

HBO's Co-President Richard Plepler and President of Programming Michael Lombardo talked to the press today.
— On Game of Thrones season 3 and beyond : "As long as George R.R Martin keeps writing, we'll keep producing".
— On True Blood season 6 and beyond : "As long as the show keeps exciting the storytelling, we're here".
— On Entourage - The Movie : "As of this week, Doug Ellin is on Page 65".
— On The Corrections (failed drama pilot) : "Unfortunately, we can't do everything we want to do". Lombardo praises the writing and acting. "It's very difficult material and I thought they did a beautiful job with it. The decision wasn't based on cost".
— On True Detective (upcoming drama series) : "It's very much a character piece. The strength of the writing is that in a familiar drama it blew my socks off. The show is set up as an anthology. This 1st season narrative ends after these episodes conclude, we haven't had talk about what a 2nd season would be".
— On Curb your Enthusiasm season 9 : "Larry David has essentially carte blanche. I think he wants to do another season of Curb if he has a great idea for another season of Curb".
— On David Milch (creator of Deadwood, John from Cincinatti and Luck) : he is working on a new pilot for HBO. Plus, he has movies and miniseries on his plate (probably an adaptation of William Faulkner's work).
— On Eastbound and Down season 4 : Danny McBride and Jody Hill have pitched HBO an idea for another season of Eastbound and Down but it hasn't been written.
— On Tremé season 4 : HBO is absolutely having conversations now with David Simon regarding if there should be a 4th season and what that 4th season would be.
— On The Newsroom : "We're very proud of The Newsroom, and there are 7 million people loving The Newsroom each week. Aaron Sorkin is one of the network's original voices, there's only one Sorkin and we're very proud that he's working for us".
— On Girls and Enlightened coming back in 5 months : "We move the second seasons of Enlightened and Girls to January 2013 because there was a hole in our schedule produced by the abrupt cancellation of Luck. We did not have anything ready for that period. Those will be HBO's only January-February originals. Both shows have dedicated audiences who will find them".
— On the early renewals of their comedies : "The reason why we renew shows so fast is that we had seen all the episodes of Girls and Veep, we knew creatively they were strong. We were able to see already that there was an audience and that the audiences returned for second episodes. The ratings aren't the top criteria. The big question is : 'is it hitting part of the 30 million in a way that's resonating?'".
— On what HBO stands for : "Creators come to the brand and the brand represents distinctive quality. The network's matrix for success is 'quality & excellence' more than ratings. We want to create passionately engaged programming across all parts of the HBO audience. Game of Thrones is a show we're proud of being associated with, we responded to the writing. We want to be proud of everything that we greenlight and put on the air, and we are proud of everything that's on the air".
— On the audience of HBO : "The streaming audience for HBO is only 5%, but it gets closer to 25% when you add in OnDemand. Girls is the most viewed show on HBOGo".
— On their scheduling : "At this point, we're Sunday night. We realize that we trained people to come on Sunday nights. We're always looking at our schedule trying to figure out the pieces and we still have room to add programming on Sunday nights".
— On Showtime, Starz and other competitors : "We congratulate other networks when they do good work. It takes nothing away from us".
— On broadcast dramas absent of the Emmys : "There's some great shows on broadcast. They weren't nominated this year, but it's hard to argue with why The Good Wife wouldn't fit into that group of shows. And FOX's The Following is a smart, well-executed show".
Sadly, nothing was asked/announced about an hypothetical Bored to Death TV movie (Ted Danson evoked the subject at Monte Carlo).

Hello everyone, my wife and I just recently bought a brand new 2010 wrx (it's really more of my car, but all the married people here knows how that goes). Anyhow, it's the base model, got it for right at 26k and am totally in love with it, this is the first subaru I have ever owned, have come from a long line of supras and 1jz cressidas, but alas its time to grow up and get a more adult car, my wife says thats one that has air conditioning.
Car is amazing, and I don't know how I will drive anything after it. Bought the car while I was on R&R from Iraq, only got to drive it for 10 days, but i'll be back in the states in 2 months, then shes mine again!
Anyways, I plan on becoming an active member on this board and look forward to enjoying this car for a long time to come.
Here is a picture of the wife and I right after I drove it back from the dealership.

ACCRA (AFP) – Ghana was plunged into mourning on Wednesday after the sudden death of president John Atta Mills five months ahead of elections in the country seen as a bastion of democracy in west Africa.
Mills' death on Tuesday after falling ill led to vice president John Dramani Mahama being sworn in hours later to finish out his term, as dictated by the constitution in Africa's newest oil producer.
Mahama was said to be meeting with his cabinet on Wednesday afternoon after pledging to maintain stability in remarks after his swearing in the previous evening.
The cause of death was not given, but the 68-year-old Mills had recently travelled to the United States for what was officially a routine medical checkup and there were unconfirmed reports in local media that he had suffered from throat cancer.
His death raised a host of political questions to be resolved over the coming weeks, as Mills had been set to seek re-election in the December vote in Ghana, also a major producer of cocoa and gold.
There was widespread speculation that Mahama would now run, but the ruling party has been divided in recent months and it was not clear whether there would be a challenge for the nomination.
Analysts said a close vote in the December election was expected with much at stake.
"The trophy in this election is enormous and both sides know it…The oil is starting to flow," said Alex Vines of the London-based think-tank Chatham House.
Political questions were however temporarily put aside on Wednesday, as calls for unity and tributes to Mills, a law professor turned politician widely lauded for his integrity, filled the airwaves and newspapers.
The main opposition New Patriotic Party suspended its presidential campaign while Mahama declared a week of mourning, with flags flown at half-mast.
"I call on all Ghanaians to stand united in this moment of national loss and grief…," the opposition party's candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, said in a statement.
Worldwide tributes also poured in, including from US President Barack Obama, who chose Ghana for his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as president in 2009.
"President Mills tirelessly worked to improve the lives of the Ghanaian people," Obama said in a statement.
"He helped promote economic growth in Ghana in the midst of challenging global circumstances and strengthened Ghana's strong tradition of democracy."
It was not clear when the funeral would be held. The ruling party was expected to meet to plot a way forward, particularly regarding the presidential campaign.
While Mills was praised for his honesty, he had also faced criticism in recent months for what was seen as a lack of initiative.
"He was well liked, but there was also a sense of variable performance and that maybe there was a lack of energy," said Vines.
Vines said that may have been due to his health problems. Mills had recently shown signs of illness, including losing his voice and a gradual loss of weight.
The former law professor took over as Ghana's president in January 2009 after falling short in two previous campaigns.
He narrowly won the vote in 2008 with a less than one percent margin against a candidate from the party of incumbent John Kufuor, widely respected for having bowed out following his two terms in office.
In July last year, Mills was nominated to be the NDC's presidential candidate for the December vote. The primary represented the first time in the country's history that a sitting president competed for his own party's nomination.
Mills beat his only rival in the party primary, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, the wife of ex-military leader Jerry Rawlings.
The Rawlings family expressed their condolences in a statement which said they were currently attending an event in Brazzaville.
Ghana, a country of some 25 million people, joined the ranks of the world's large-scale oil producers in December 2010.
The country has begun producing oil from its offshore Jubilee field, one of the largest discoveries in west Africa in recent years. The field's operator Tullow has estimated that the field's recoverable resources amount to up to one billion barrels.

"The card turned out exactly as it appeared online. Additionally, the image that I uploaded for the back turned out very clear. Very impressed! Also, it came in adorable packaging!"
"These cards are printed on a sturdy, textured cardstock and the color is just right (not too bright, not too dark). I'm glad I ordered this design and will purchase again when I run low on cards."
"Great looking card, the designer helped me get the back of the card to look exactly as I wanted. The pearl finish stands out against my competitors cards. Delivery was very quick! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."
"Despite the order not shipping when expected-Tiny Prints took the opportunity to make everything right about the experience. I ended up working with 2 different customer service reps throughout the process and they were both exceptional. They were helpful, service oriented, caring and professional. It tells me that the training received comes from the top down. And the best part is that I was extremely pleased with the product and would order from them again."

Professional competition barbecue pitmasters will blow smoke over Cameron Park in September to benefit local organizations at the 2013 Rubstock BBQ Championship.
More than 40 pitmasters and their teams are scheduled to compete in the Sept. 13 & 14 event, which promises to be a groovin' time in the foothills.
"These professional competition barbecue teams, one coming from as far as Nixa, Mo., will battle for bragging rights as the best Pitmaster at Rubstock and earn points towards becoming the Team of the Year on both the state and national level," said Ed Anhorn, Rubstock contest organizer and event director.
This family event at Christa McAuliffe Park in Cameron Park features everything barbecue including professional and amateur barbecue competitions, tasting opportunities, on-site barbecue food vendors and barbecue-related products. Plenty of entertainment has also been scheduled throughout the two-day event including live cooking, grilling and smoking demonstrations, live music, a beer garden and a Family Fun Zone scheduled to feature a climbing wall, inflatable water slides and much more.
The interest in competition barbecue has grown exponentially due to the exposure brought by reality television shows. The Rubstock BBQ Championship is a four-meat contest featuring chicken, ribs, pork shoulder and beef brisket and is fully sanctioned by the world's largest organization of barbecue and grilling enthusiasts, the Kansas City Barbeque Society. Recognizing barbecue as America's Cuisine, the mission of KCBS is to celebrate, teach, preserve and promote barbecue as a culinary technique, sport and art form.
For an entry fee of $5 barbecue enthusiasts are invited to attend the event and interact with the competition teams on Friday evening from 4 to 10 p.m.
"This is a great and rare opportunity to get tips from professional barbecue pitmasters," Anhorn said. "The teams will be participating in a Tri Tip Competition and a Cooking Challenge on Friday evening before they start smoking their competition meats. We'll also have live music performed by The Fabulous Liars throughout the evening and the beer garden is scheduled to be open until 10 p.m. You can pick your favorite team on Friday evening and cheer them on during the competition and awards ceremony on Saturday."
The Rubstock BBQ Championship competition area will reopen on Saturday at 10 a.m. Live music, the beer garden, food vendors and the Family Fun Zone will be ready to start the entertainment for a $5 entry fee. The teams will be fully engaged in the competition on Saturday morning as they focus on their final steps before "turn-in time," which starts at noon and goes on every half hour until 1:30 p.m. Spectators will have the opportunity to watch the teams prepare their turn-in boxes for each of the four meat categories and to view the judging process as scores are recorded to determine the individual meat and overall winners. The awards ceremony is scheduled for 5 p.m. The competition area will be open to spectators until 6 p.m. Additional details on the schedule of events will be available on rubstock.com as they are finalized.
Rubstock has also received the designation as a California State Barbecue Championship Event by Gov. Jerry Brown and as a Team of the Year Event by the California Barbecue Association Board of Directors. Both of these designations help to attract the top California teams to compete in the 2013 Rubstock BBQ Championship which is produced by Ed & Heidi Anhorn, owners of Cameron Park based companies Big Bull BBQ Events & Productions and their restaurant Sierra Smokehouse BBQ & Custom Catering.
Big Bull BBQ Events and Productions is working in conjunction with local non-profit organizations, including the Food Bank of El Dorado County, the Cameron Park/Shingle Springs Chamber of Commerce and the Cameron Park Community Services District Foundation, to bring the Rubstock BBQ Championship event to Cameron Park.

Otherwise known as "blue gold," lavender is an aromatic tribute to Provence. It is the fragrant soul of the region, and the fruit of respectful labor. In accordance with tradition, every summer, young Provençal villagers go hiking on the sunny hills to pick Lavender at a high altitude. During the harvest period, they set out for several days in the open air, and at night, they get together to share the secrets of the summer plants with their relaxing and purifying properties.
In Provence, it is fine lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, which yields the best essential oil, renowned for its delicate perfume. It is very different from the Lavandin perfume, with camphor notes.
We source our essential oil directly from farmers' cooperatives in Sault and the surrounding area. We purchase almost 50% of the total production of P.D.O. fine lavender from Haute-Provence. In the village of Sault, at an altitude of almost 1,000 meters, Fabrice Fournel, vice president of the Simiane-la-Rotonde cooperative, works as a lavender farmer. "The first day," says Fabrice, "the smell of the flowers is so strong, it makes us dizzy." Working with his associate, Jérôme, and his parents, he goes from one row of lavender to the next, cutting the stems, then uses a fork to lay them out in the sun so that they can dry for a day or two before being taken to the distillery.
The P.D.O. label was created to protect French products from foreign competition. It guarantees a very high-quality product.

Appease and Compare
posted at 9:35 am on May 25, 2009 by Keemo
I started paying attention to politics some thirty-five years ago. I watched as the watergate scandal covered the TV screen along with most every newspaper and magazine. I watched in horror as Jimmy Carter and his politics of appeasement, fumbled the football around the globe. I watched closely as Ronald Reagan faced off with Gorbachev and the mighty Soviet Empire. I watched as the charming Bill Clinton closed military bases around the country, killing thousands of small businesses and small towns in the process. I watched as George Bush stared International Terrorism in the eye, sending the American war machine to foreign soil in an effort to protect the American homeland following the attacks of September 11th, 2001.
Through the years I've noticed a sharp contrast between Democrats and Republicans. This is especially true when dealing with the military apparatus. President Reagan used the force of the American military apparatus to tear down the Soviet Empire without ever firing a weapon. President Clinton followed the path of many Democrat leaders before him, believing that appeasement is the way forward. The one dynamic that has held true during my lifetime and throughout American history, is the fact that weapons are going to be used to protect the homeland and the threats to our way of life that are developing on foreign soil around the globe. President Clinton's attempts at appeasement failed utterly, with bombs being dropped and missiles launched despite his brilliant ability to deliver an eloquent speech. Speeches that were often loaded with gifts at the expense of the American tax payer.
President Obama has recently finished up a world tour, where he took it upon himself to apologize to foreign nations for American misdeeds of the past. Apparently President Obama has decided to follow Democrat leaders from the past, taking the appeasement approach while relying on the eloquence of his words to squash the many threats America faces. How has this approach worked so far? Maybe I'm biased, maybe I'm simply unwilling or incapable of the truth. So far, it seems to me that President Obama has been shut-out; 0 for 4… President Obama has apologized, thrown billions of tax payer dollars at every troubled region, promised a brand new America… But yet, his batting average is zero. The eloquence of his words are having no greater effect on our enemies than that of President's Carter or Clinton. In fact, it would seem that our enemies our ramping up their collective efforts in the face of such incompetence. These people have studied history, and can easily predict the next American move based upon a country lead by Democrats. Been there, done that…

North Korea today risked further international isolation after it claimed to have successfully tested a nuclear weapon as powerful as the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.
President Barack Obama called the test a matter of grave concern to all countries. "North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the international community," Obama said in a statement. "North Korea's behaviour increases tensions and undermines stability in north-east Asia."
Iran sends warships to Gulf of Aden – navy
TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran has sent six warships to international waters, including the Gulf of Aden, to show its ability to confront any foreign threats, its naval commander said on Monday.
Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, quoted by the ISNA news agency, made the announcement five days after Iran said it test-fired a surface-to-surface missile with a range of 2,000 km (1,200 miles), putting Israel and U.S. bases in the area within reach.
Iran\'s Ahmadinejad rejects Western nuclear proposal
TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday rejected a Western proposal for it to "freeze" its nuclear work in return for no new sanctions and ruled out any talks with major powers on the issue. The comments by the president, who is seeking re-election in a June 12 presidential vote, are likely to further disappoint the U.S. administration of President Barack Obama, which is seeking to engage Iran diplomatically.
Netanyahu defies Obama on Israeli settlement freeze
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rebuffed U.S. calls for a full settlement freeze in the occupied West Bank and vowed not to accept limits on building of Jewish enclaves within Jerusalem. Netanyahu's defiant stance set the stage for a possible showdown with U.S. President Barack Obama, who, in talks with the new Israeli prime minister in Washington last week, pressed for a halt to all settlement activity, including natural growth, as called for under a long-stalled peace "road map". "The demand for a total stop to building is not something that can be justified and I don't think that anyone here at this table accepts it," Netanyahu told his cabinet, referring to Jewish settlements in the West Bank, according to an official. Netanyahu said Israel had no plans to set up any new West Bank settlements. But he told Obama, according to the official, that his government "does not accept limitations on building" within what Israel defines as its capital, the Jerusalem municipality, an area that includes Arab East Jerusalem and parts of the West Bank captured in a 1967 Middle East war.
British banks revolt against Obama tax plan
The decision, which would make it hard for Americans in London to open bank accounts and trade shares, is being discussed by executives at Britain's banks and brokers who say it could become too expensive to service American clients. The proposals, which were unveiled as part of the president's first budget, are designed to clamp-down on American tax evaders abroad. However bank bosses say they are being asked to take on the task of collecting American taxes at a cost and legal liability that are inexpedient.
Andy Thompson of Association of Private Client Investment Managers and Stockbrokers (APCIMS) said: "The cost and administration of the US tax regime is causing UK investment firms to consider disinvesting in US shares on behalf of their clients. This is not right and emphasises that the administration of a tax regime on a global scale without any flexibility damages the very economy it is trying to protect."
One executive at a top UK bank who didn't want to be named for fear of angering the IRS said: "It's just about manageable under the current system – and that's because we're big. The danger to us is suddenly being hauled over the coals by the IRS for a client that hasn't paid proper taxes. The audit costs will soar. We'll have to pay it but I know plenty of smaller players won't."
World leaders have seen the eloquence and glitter of a well spoken American Democrat many times before. Behind the eloquence and the glitter, are many opportunities for foreign nations to tap into the American wealth, while shrinking America's power and influence around the globe. While President Obama strokes himself as a messiah of sorts, the rest of the world is very much in the game…

GPS Antenna
The GPS system in my 2000 740il is out of wack always saying that I am out of the map limits. The dealer checked it out and told me I needed to replace the antenna and it costs $450.00 for a new antenna. I found an antenna on ebay for $20.00 does any one have information on how to replace the antenna? I would like to try and do it myself to save some money.
Thank you very much,
my car has the same problem, saying i'm out of the maps limits. so maybe i need to replace my antenna? i know you need to remove some of the interior trim along with the headliner.
That sounds like a big job.
it can be if you dont know where to pull the trim pieces apart, knowing where the clips are helps. also that headliner can be a pain. the main problem you will encounter will likely be manouvering it out and back into the car. even with the large door openings.
I read on this forum that to reset the GPS system I would have to disconnect the battery. Well, that is a good idea because I had to get a booster to start my car the other day because the battery was down and all of a sudden the GPS start working.
Thank you for all your help guys. This forum is very helpful
can anyone help i need to know how to replace my gps antenna for my 740i 2000
disconecting the battery did not work. what is next anymoe ideas thanks

pier and beam construction axcess hole
My builders foundation failed at the city but he still sold the house to me. CROOK....Im disabled but managed to crawl under my home..sick as a dog too..because i'm poorer than church mice..The home has an axcess hole in the back. every where else there are vents. When i got under there i saw a support structure running the length of the home all the way to my left and all the way to my right...All the supports are so tiny that i cant sqeeze thru to see the whole front half of my house. There is noway in anywhere! My foot went through the entranceway floor, insulation came out (bad, i know)..needless to say nobody can axcess the underside of where my foot fell through. My question to all is this? Is it lawful or code that on a pier and beam structure ,(small pier and beam home three bed two bath) that a person cannot axcess 50% of the foudation...I think hes hiding something..i dont know but the insurance co didnt even go under the house to try and see the dang thing..i know its laughable.
Since you don't say where you live, I don't know what laws govern you and your house. Usually, one is supposed to be able to access the whole of the underside of a house.
If your foot fell through the floor, that house is probably not worth fixing. If you are as poor as a church mouse and still bought a 3 bed 2 bath house, you probably got what you paid for.
Well you already have a hole in the floor where your foot went through, go ahead and cut a hole there so you can get under that part of the house and see what is going on. If you are worried some one will fall through the hole cut it good and square and have a piece of 3/4 plywood to put back in the hole until you are finished.
(to the tune of a Van Halen song by same name).
Why in 'ell did you Buy it,..??
Did you have it Inspected,..??
It's Yer fault for Buyin' a pig in a poke...
Sounds like it's DIY time. Pick a few spots to cut holes in the floor. Frame up some access holes and install hatches. No reason to freak out yet, until you know what's underneath.
Floors get fixed from above the floor not below.
How about a few pictures?
I'll make a few guesses, the doors threshonld is even with the deck, stoop porch. There's no gutter or at least a deverter over the door.
There's no roof over that area.
A guaranteed way to have it fail.
It's code that it needed to be at least 4" below the threshold.
To fix it right the door needs to come out, flooring removed, an area cut out of the floor, floor joist and rim joist checked and repaired, may have to also treat for mold, blocking installed, a piece of 3/4" Advantec installed, flashing installed under where the door will sit, a sill pan really should also be installed then the door goes back in.
Not sure why you think he's hiding anything, what would make you think that?
In my area we have several organisations to help people out in your situations, may want to check into that option.
When I get to a low center beam I just shovel some dirt out and slide under it.
thanks for all the imput..some were very intelligent and helpful , thanks.. others showed how plain stupid they were (lol..if you have 500.00 and good credit you can buy a home, yuh, you can get er done,yuh, your answer was cheap entertainment pig in a poke!! oh i forgot MASTER GENERAL REENGINEER"..lol) anyway..the reason i suspect something under there is because he sold me this home as a 2011..I found out after the hole incident from urban development ..i got all the inspections that the home was built in 2006! HA, can u believe it? Its a painted turd..lol..I have so many attorneys that want this case for free!!! I cannot cash my home insurance checks for the floor damage because they thought the house was built in 2011 also!!It gets wierder by the day..I just found all this out within a couple days of each other, this started last tuesday...I have quite a story and im 95% sure i'll get a new house under the dtpa act.. if hes not in jail, I cant get my house if hes in jail..anyway, I want to settle out of court, im too sick to take anymore. I think he will..he will have to pay for my attorney theres no doubt about that. 'Thats why all these attornys want to do it for "free"..they know ill win and they will get paid a 40% contingence fee. The reason I did'nt get an inspection is this #1 the house had been inspected by the financial company that gave us our loan.
#2 The home was built supposedly built in 2011.
#3 no money
#4 to ill to care
Would i recommend it ,No way..but it was really a compound problem. If you have ever been seriously ill you would know how i feel. The house has other problems i need to ask about so ill post a new thread. I sent all the ones that helped a thanks.
--titan i liked your joke it keeps my spirits up!
Joe caption thanks, I live in texas, is an org here to help me?
Abra, i paid 80,000.00 do you know of any law here that would help me?
im broke because
#1 I'm on a LOA from a pretty decent job.
#2 i qualified for a loan because i was working..i have 2 kids in college..but i had to borrow 500.00 for the down....i barely eeked into this house
#3 im saving 200.00 a month on rent since i bought
#4 i relasped with a serious disease
workers comp does not pay for diseases, thank goodness i had temp disability, that expired last month and my specialist just sign a letter that i cant go back to work for at least 3 more months..but they are doubtfull, they are just trying to help me keep my job...after 90 more days ill probably have to do something else.. What is the disease? it effects my muscels.
Anyway, I'm a regular jane that something bad happened to. My husband works at walmart.
And I love it when somebody on here says the funniest damn thing and I sit here busting a gut laughing (Indio gives me the weirdest looks when I do that).
For just a moment all the bs goes away and I forget all about this damn chair.
If they only knew how much that one funny little half-liner made somebodies day so much better.
Money can't buy that.
So, here's hoping for high spirits and low costs. Good luck with your access situation, and keep your jumping on the floors to a dull roar until everything is deemed safe for you.
I'm usually optimistic, and hopefully the house is sound except for that hole by the front door, but that hole makes all my alarms go off. It takes a lot of water over many, many years to rot a floor like that; how much rain do you get in your part of Texas? I'm concerned that your house might be teeming with termites.
Mortgage company inspectors "inspect" without getting out of their cars, so you can't go by their reports. At this point, if you cannot get it for free, paying for a good inspection might be the best money you will ever spend, if the inspection's finding allow you to cut your losses.
thanks and i think ur right. we have had a drought last three years, but it rained just a few nites ago at 6" in hour and a half..flash flooding amaazingly it can get out off hand real quick. i might call a pest control too. I have alot of ants, tons and i could nt get rid of them..
A good, unbiased home inspector would have caught all of this.

Property Condition Report
A property condition report is a report on the physical condition of an asset that is prepared by qualified architectural and/or engineering professionals in association with a real property acquisition and finance transactions. Consequently, the term "Property Condition Report" can mean differing things depending on the type of transaction and the respective roles of the transaction participants.
For an acquisition transaction, a property condition report is typically commissioned by the buying entity in an effort to identify undisclosed physical deficiencies, including deferred maintenance, code deficiencies, recommended repairs, capital replacements, and suggested upgrades to enhance system performance, energy efficiencies, and/or life safety. It is typically advisable that equity level property condition reports be prepared by a multidisciplined team of professionals, appropriate to the level of property complexity. Larger, more-sophisticated assets require greater expertise, while smaller assets with less-complex systems are less demanding to evaluate. The team members for equity transactions should be experts in their respective disciplines who possess extensive experience in design, construction, forensics, and property due diligence. They should also be highly skilled communicators who can articulate their finding clearly and succinctly, both orally and in writing. A property condition report prepared in connection with an acquisition will usually include opinions of probable costs covering a 10-year evaluation period.
Property condition reports for finance transactions are typically narrower in scope than those prepared for acquisition transactions. This is primarily due to the fact that the lender does not have the same risk exposure as an equity investor. The lender has the owner's equity – typically 30% to 50% of the asset value – as a buffer protecting the lender against their potential first dollar loss. Also, the lender does not need to understand the asset from a detailed operational perspective, so a more-limited assessment is generally suitable for their underwriting purposes. Most property condition reports for finance transactions are performed by a sole architectural or engineering professional. Property condition reports for finance transactions are typically focused on identifying deferred maintenance and code deficiencies (Immediate Costs), and projected capital replacements (Replacement Reserves) anticipated over the term of the loan, plus two years. As opposed to property condition reports prepared for equity transactions, which have no limits placed upon the dollar amount of identified deficiencies, the underwriting for finance transactions typically requires that the amount of the replacement reserves fall below the lender's replacement reserve threshold which, in PCA's opinion, are artificially low, relative to real operating costs that should be underwritten.
When selecting a firm to prepare a property condition report, it is imperative to choose a firm with the experience that is most suited to the transaction. Firms like PCA that specialize in equity level transactions provide much more comprehensive assessments than do firms that primarily cater to the lending community and are, therefore, not ideal candidates for finance-related engagements. Conversely, firms that cater to the lending community provide less-comprehensive property condition reports, and are not suitable for equity transactions. And, while the lower-priced fees offered by lender-oriented providers can be attractive, the potential for such firms to overlook significant and costly deficiencies is exponentially greater. As in all things, the adage: "You Get What You Pay For," certainly applies to the property condition report.
