Post subject: TWR MOCK V2
Remaining Free Agent additions:
Brad Jones LB
Ryan Fitzpatrick QB
Round 1.)Ezekial "Ziggy" Ansah DE,BYU- The big, quick twitch DE that's an imposing physical presence for the DL. Helps give the Titans a defensive identity that we haven't had since the Freak's first go around.
Round 2.) Matt Elam S, Florida- BPA. Elam is a playmaker- he is a stud, he can tackle, cover and plays ST's. A great leader and brings top notch energy each week and on each play. Rises to the occasion when playing top talent.PLays much bigger than his size indicates.
Round 3.)Tyrann Mathieu NB/DB,LSU- The Titans have done such a nice job getting players this offseason to help create a new image and identity for the team while adding players that were positions of need- that they have flexibility to take some risks in the draft. There isn't a better value pick in this draft than getting a top 25 talent late in round 3. Lets all hope Mathieu has changed because the tenacity, toughness and playmaking ability he would bring to our NB spot would make him a day 1 impact player and would make losing Verner next season a smooth transition. While Mathieu may not ever be an outside corner, in todays NFL the nickel defense is now the base D and he will get his playing time. Matthieu is an excellent tackler, very loose hips and has elite ball skills for a defensive back. Also an excellent returner and special teams player. Best pick of the draft. After adding George Wilson, Matt Elam and now Tyrann Mathieu the Titans have just made their secondary a strength of their team.
Round 3c) Brian Winters OG,Kent State- Tough physical player that will bring the nastiness to the RG position that we have been lacking next to the big nasty David Stewart at RT. Winters will be making a position change, as he projects better at RG than T, the position he played over 45 games at in college. Winters is a tough nasty G who will be a dominant run blocker, finish plays all the way to and through the whistle. Winters durability, tenacity and physicality make him a Munchak hand molded player that would start from day 1 at RG.
Round 4.) Ryan Swope Slot,Texas A&M- The Titans are still trying to find a slot WR to add to their offense. After failing to pull the Trigger at 10 for Tavon Austin and missing out on Patton in round 2, the Titans go with my 3rd ranked Slot WR here in Swope. Very good hands and has good YAC ability for his strength running through tackles. 40 time is faster than game speed, but a very proven threat with great route understanding and hands to catch any pass in or away from his frame. Swope does have some medical history in his past and there may be some concern with his concussion past.
Round 5.) Levine Toilolo TE,Stanford- At 6ft8 with 35 inch arm and a 31" vert- Toilolo offers a nice athletic frame for the redone. Always has been in the shadow at Stanford, but always has been able to put up respectable numbers. A willing blocker who gives good effort in that aspect of the game. He is raw and not an over whelming prospect but in the 5th round he's a player that could make an impact in certain aspects of the game.
Round 5c) Kwame Geathers DT,Georgia- Listed at 6ft6 355 lbs, Geathers is HUGE! Geathers' has great a bloodline with his dad,brother and uncle all playing in the NFL. For someone his size he has good speed (for his size). Geathers really needs to work on playing stronger at the POA and learn to use his size to better his leverage. He could one day be a good threat if he could learn the nuances of the game, be a better technician and play with better leverage.
Round 7.)Kenny Tate LB,Maryland- At this point in the draft its about finding potential and depth. Tate originally recruited as a WR and then to the secondary is now an undersized OLB.Physical and athletic which i feel will be a good addition for our special teams unit and would offer more upside as a depth LB than the Bailey and Shaws of the world.
Round 7c) Marquis Jackson DE,Portland State-Brother of former Vol DE Malik Jackson. Marquis has a great frame at 6ft5 265 lbs. Has an explosive first step off the snap and good length for the position. He is well traveled after playing for 3 different teams in college, one being a JUCO, but you would like a bit more consistency in that aspect. Worth a late round flyer if his athleticism can translate to the next level.

I love this draft. Just not sure Ansah will be available, but I hope he is.
Also, not sure about Elam. Need to watch more tape of him.
Big fan of taking Mattheiu in the third. Can take Finnegan's old role.

Notable Oregonians: Harvey Scott - Editor, Publisher
Harvey Scott was born in 1838 and raised on a family farm near Groveland, Illinois. His parents, John Tucker Scott and Anne Roelofson, led the family on the Oregon Trail in 1852. Tragically, his mother and youngest brother died along the route. Scott served in the Yakima Indian War in 1855-1856 and then briefly enrolled at Tualatin Academy (later Pacific University) before finances forced him to leave the next spring. He reenrolled at the academy in 1859 and graduated in 1863. Scott then studied law, worked as a librarian, and regularly contributed stories to The Oregonian newspaper, including an editorial about Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865.
He became the editor of The Oregonian in 1865, the same year that he was admitted to the bar. Scott served a six-year stint as U.S. Collector of Customs in Portland beginning in 1870 but then returned to The Oregonian as editor and part owner until his death. He was staunchly in favor of maintaining the gold standard as a currency base. His writings on this contentious issue helped to influence Oregon to resist the free silver tide in the West.
Scott served as the president of the Lewis and Clark Exposition from 1903 to 1905 and he was director of the Associated Press from 1900 to 1910. He expended great energy extolling the virtues of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest in travels around the country. He spoke with particular pride about the pioneering spirit embodied by the hardworking and moral citizens of the region.
Scott opposed his famous sister, Abigail Scott Duniway, on the issue of women's suffrage and he died two years before seeing her dream become a reality in Oregon in 1912. Mt. Scott in Happy Valley and Harvey Scott Elementary School in Portland were named in his honor and statue of him stands at the summit of Portland's Mount Tabor.

Oops steyr is the correct spelling.

I have had the pleasure of shooting a Steyr M9 on two occasions. I really like the high purchase of the grip, as well as the grip angle, and I thought it was a good shooting gun. I even like the trapezoidal sights. At the time I eliminated them from consideration for myself, the primary reason was my inability to find accessories.

I have owned one, and I am sorry I sold it off. It is the closest thing to a Glock you can get. They are very good quality and under-rated. I would still have it, if I did not want that S&W 27 so bad.

I put those guns in the same catagory as FNPs and Baby Deagles. Great guns that are overlooked, under rated, and underpriced. I plan to get a Baby Deagle, all metal desighn, an FNP .45 and now I may even get a Styer this year as well.

Looking at their website, it looks like they may be in limited supply in the near future. This isn't to say that they aren't good, I have no first hand knowledge of them, just some additional info.
Steyr Mannlicher US:*Information on the Steyr Pistol Series
Information on the Steyr Pistol Series
Friday, February 27, 2009
Since the launch of the new website back in December, there have been many questions concerning the absence of the Steyr Pistol series from our product lineup. Hopefully, we can address some of those concerns.
Steyr Arms, Inc., which is the US Importer for Steyr-Mannlicher GMBh in Austria, has imported over 20,000 pistols into the US market over the last couple of years. Many of those pistols are still available for retail sale at various distributors and dealers across the country. However, current market conditions and currency fluctuations between the Euro and the US dollar have severely hampered the ability to produce the pistol in an economically viable manner. Unfortunately, these additional costs plus the traditional costs of importing prevent us from being able to sell the pistol at a commercially competitive price point at this time.
For these reasons, Steyr Arms, Inc is not importing any additional quantities of pistol that will be available on the wholesale market for the foreseeable future. However, we are in a research and development phase to see how Steyr can compete in the future without sacrificing the quality that has made Steyr so popular. Please know that Steyr Arms, Inc will continue to service and warrant all current model pistols and rifles as always. We will continue to service and carry parts and accessories for all M and S series pistols in all calibers.
Hopefully this will address any concerns or confusion that exists. If you have any additional questions feel free to contact our customer service department at 205-467-6544. Thank you for your interest in Steyr Arms.

I own two Steyrs - both are older models, an S9 and a M357. Both are excellent guns, and I happily carry them (meaning that I trust them with my life). I've shot the newer versions of the same guns, and there is very little practical difference between them. I've put thousands of rounds through the S9, and hundreds through the M357.
For me, they've been great guns. And I've given serious consideration to picking up an extra M from CDNN at this price, just to have for spare parts if ever needed in the future - though the US affiliate says they will keep parts and service available forever.
At $350, I think they're priced at about half what they're really worth. And yes, I own pistols in the $700 price range (and up).
Good luck deciding -

I'm not as experienced as many of you on the forum, but since I first got my CCW in '92 I've put alot of rounds through several 1911 variants (some custom); Glock 23, 24, and 27; Sig 226; Beretta 92 and 96; H&K P7; and, more recently, the Springfield XD Subcompact in .40.
I can say that, without question, the Steyr M40-A1 is the best I've ever shot. I quickly got used to the triangular sights, which I now prefer actually. The M40
is the only centerfire auto that I've been able to put 6 shots into the same hole at 25'. The high grip reduces recoil significantly. After about 2000 rounds, so far, I have not experienced any jams or other problems whatsoever. (shooting American Eagle, Hydroshocks, and my stash of old Black Talons).
I've introduced three friends to the M40-A1 at the range. All three immediately bought one for themselves after shooting mine. (Well, one of them got the M9-A1 actually). I think that speaks volumes about Steyr.
At $349 from CDNN, it's a steal. So much so that I just bought a second one last week. As others have posted, the gun is WAY undervalued.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that the M models were designed by a former Glock designer who wanted to introduce improvements to Glock models, but was thwarted. Steyr welcomed him with open arms. I see the M models as fixing what remains wrong with Glock (of which I'm still a fan).
btw: I'm always looking for an S40!
I got Steyr 9mm and it's a workhorse. It was cheap (yup, I do have to admit that) and while I don't shoot it often, each time I do it's fun and never have any issues with it. The slightly different high angle grip (it's not like any other semi's out there) makes it extremely easy to shoot. Oh yeah, the triangular sights are definately different but it's easy to get used to them and after that you miss not having them.
I agree with what everybody has said about their quality. Be aware however, that Steyr has decided to cease importing their pistols to the U.S. because of pricing issues.
Oops. Sorry. Somebody already posted that.
They've been on my list for some time, but I was hoping that there would be new S models imported (finding an S that isn't waayyyy over priced is tough), having seen the news about the company stoping importation for now, I may just have to snatch up an M from CDNN at that price before they're gone.

The key thing is to go with a true CAI and not SRI. You need it isolated from the engine bay heat. Last weekend even the Porsche mechanic doing my tech inspection at the track noticed this and said "It's nice to see an intake done right with it in the fender well."

It feels a little like the first day of school for me. I kinda couldn't sleep last night, so I stayed up late organizing my Twitter feeds, which I suppose is what bloggers do when they're feeling fidgety. So let's just cut to it:
Hi, I'm the new guy here.
My name is Mike Oz and I'm happy to be joining the Big League Stew team today. If my metaphor holds and this is like school, I have some great classmates here. Like them, I plan to bring you entertaining, informative and sometimes off-beat tales from the diamond. I love baseball. And I love the culture of baseball — everything beyond the game: movies, video games, mascots and, of course, baseball cards.
I'm from the Bay Area and grew up riding the BART train to Oakland A's games. I was six during the Bash Brothers era, so that made it impossible not to fall in love with the game. To help you get to know me better, here are nine baseball-centric facts about me, an entire diamond's worth:
1. I once asked Reggie Jackson to autograph a baseball card for me outside an A's game. I'll never forget his response: "I don't smoke. I don't drink. And I don't sign cards."
2. In my previous life as a newspaper reporter, I wrote a story that some Stew readers might remember: the tale of the woman who found a 139-year-old baseball card in a box of antiques and eventually guested on "The Tonight Show."
3. In 1989, I owned a split A's/Giants cap. I still don't hate the Giants.
4. When I played the original "Baseball" game for NES, I kept my own stats.
5. Best game I attended: Game 1 of the 1989 ALCS, when the A's beat the Blue Jays 7-3 with Dave Stewart on the mound. I even got to skip school.
6. Runner-up: I went to the 13-inning 1987 All-Star Game at age 7 and sat next to Thad Bosley's parents.
7. Worst game I attended: Game 4 of the ALDS in 2001, when the A's got pounded by the Yankees, 9-2.
8. I once went to 10 consecutive games for the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies and charted every foul ball to figure out the best place to sit to catch one. Related: I've never caught a foul ball.
9. In 1987, I was among a pack of young kids waiting in the rain outside Oakland Coliseum, hoping to get Jose Canseco's autograph. This is back when the players didn't have a private tunnel to leave the stadium. We waited a couple hours. Again, in the rain. Canseco came out, refused to sign autographs and tried to high-tail it to his Porsche. My mom stopped him, yelled at him and convinced him to sign autographs for all of us.
I promise that here on the Stew I'll be posting about more than the Oakland A's of my youth. And now that I'm an adult and know things, I'll probably end up making fun of Canseco every now and again. This is going to be fun.

Project will create a total of 14 new housing units over a two-block area
NEW HAVEN- The City of New Haven�s Livable City Initiative kicked off the new construction phase of the Putnam Street Revitalization Project at a groundbreaking today. The Putnam Street Revitalization project is a combination of historic rehabilitation and new construction on Putnam Street, between DeWitt Street and Cedar Street, in the Hill neighborhood. The Project includes the historical rehabilitation of three blighted structures�that had been vacant for years� and the new construction of four two-family homes, all of which will available for sale to homeowners. Additionally, the project includes rehabilitation of eight rental units (owned by Hill Housing Partnership) also located on Putnam Street. In all, this project will create a total of 22 new and rehabilitated housing units over a two-block area.
The construction of the four new two-family homes is anticipated to be completed in April 2014. The new homes will be 3,200 square feet and will be very similar in style to the other historic homes in the area in order to fit into the Trowbridge Square Historic District. Three of the newly constructed homes will contain a first floor rental unit with the second and third floors as a second unit. The largest newly constructed home will be a replica of the renovation that the City is completing at 181 Putnam Street.
The Putnam Street Revitalization is the culmination of a tremendous effort to bring the street back to its original housing stock for working families. The historic rehabilitation has commenced and will be completed by August 2013. All structures�both the historic rehabs and the new constriction � will be restricted to homeowner occupancy and sold to individuals with an income of 120% Area Median Income, which for a household of four is $97,080.
The Revitalization includes gap funding in the amount of $422,000 for the rehabilitation costs of the Hill Housing Partnership structures located at 518 Howard Avenue, 520 Howard Avenue, 522 Howard Avenue, 524 Howard Avenue, 526 Howard Avenue and 208 Putnam Street being completed by NeighborWorks. The structures service a mixed income community and this funding is earmarked for the 50% area median income rental units and under.
The revitalization project is being funded through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program III provided by the United States Housing and Urban Development through the HUD Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act (DFFRA) administered by the State of Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development. The State of Connecticut allocated $1.6M to the City of New Haven for the purposes of acquisition, redevelopment, rehabilitation and demolition of foreclosed and/or blighted structures. The City of New Haven leveraged the $1.6M NSPIII funding and added an additional $1.6M of its own funding.
�This is a great achievement for the neighborhood and for our residents,� said Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �There is a strong demand for housing in New Haven and the City is committed to meeting that demand and to providing more housing opportunities for working families.�
�This project reflects our commitment to build housing across our city that services all income levels� said Economic Development Administrator, Kelly Murphy.
"For the Putnam Street Revitalization project, as with its other NSP 3 projects, the City of New Haven brought to the table a great recipe for success: a vision for permanent transformational impact, a staff ready, willing and able to execute, and a major commitment of its own funds,� said Nick Lundgren, Director of Housing for the State of Connecticut�s Department of Economic and Community Development.� He noted, �There is so much that the City has demonstrated here that we can -- and should -- emulate across the State."
Gary Reisine, Community Planning and Development Director at HUD said, "We commend the City for this historically sensitive revitalization of abandoned buildings and vacant lots. In addition to affordable homeownership and rental opportunities, the entire neighborhood benefits by this inspired use of Federal resources.

PSU Problem with Placid BP and BII
Hi to everyone,
I've got my boards from TP some months ago, but I had some time to work on them only last week. Today I set up Placid and Placid BP as explained in the manual and all was ok. I connected +5V from Placid to the BII board and everything was ok. Then I connected +/-12 from Placid BP to Legato board and...something went wrong. -12 remains at -12V while +12 went down to about 3V. I switched off immediatly the power but it was too late. Now my positive rail (without load) can reach only 11V max, and I can't see any voltage drop across R2. I measured VR2 and found about 4Mohm , so probably VR2 has gone...Maybe also Q1...I've checked the legato board and there are no shorts between +V and GND...Any suggestion to make things alive again will be appreciated. :D
Placid and Placid BP are shunt regulated supplies, so a dead short at output should not be fatal because the current is limited.
Do all of the LEDs light correctly on the Placid BP?
My suggestion would to isolate and test the placid BP on its own. Try simply replacing VR2 first. VR2 might have been damaged by adjusting too far past the stops.
Thanks Russ.
The leds are working, I have a new trimmer to replace the old one.
Now, if the placid will work well with the new component, I need to find out the problem that caused this situation...legato?
Thanks again.
Most likely just a damaged pot.
Hi Russ,
I've changed the trimmer but with the new one I can only reach about 150mA through R2. Even with VR2 set to the min...I think that also QP1 has been damaged...and I don't find anything else in the board or in the legato board that can give me some clue on what it's going on.
Some news (bad news): after about 20 min after power on (Irs = 150mA), the Vout went to about 20V (the rectified voltage after the bridge)...with Placid BP disconnected from everything. QP1 is cold, QN3 is very hot, D5 is "off" while D1 e D2 "on". I think I have a complete set of problems...not only one :) Then, I have to set VR2 near the max to allow Vout to go down to 12V. I this case, both VR2 and VR4 set the Vout. When I set Ir2 to less than about 20mA D5 starts to emit light again but Vout is about 18.4V. Any suggestion?

Josef Leitz Rudesheimer Berg Kaisersteinfels Riesling 2012
Riesling from Rheingau, Germany
Winemaker's Notes
The wine is derangedly good, utterly euphoric fragrance; quartz, flowers and balsam, it's the stunning blue-eyed bride of the handsome Rottland groom; the girl is frisky and wicked-smart, and cool as he is he hardly can believe she's there at his side. It (or she) is beguilingly charming—for a moment there's nothing you'd rather be doing than drinking this very wine, you can hardly bear to put the glass down, the wine is so ludicrously delicious, interesting and long.
Critical Acclaim
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Sumptuous aromas of white peach, melon, pineapple and lemon oil. Delicately sweet passion fruit is framed and lift by bracing saline minerality. A delicately woven bacon spice animates the long finish of one of the finest off-dry rieslings of the vintage."

About Rheingau(RINE-gow)The steep, south-facing slopes overlooking the Rhine river are some of the most enviable in Germany. The region's wines are based almost completely on Riesling and all picking is done by hand. A bit further south than the Mosel, Rheingau grapes get some stronger sun, which is evident by the richer wines produced.
Notable FactsRheingau wines will be found in brown, flute-shaped bottles, and, like all of Germany, adheres to the strict quality levels based on ripeness. Floral and mineral characteristics are commonly found in these wines, with rounder fruit flavors and fuller bodies than wines from its sister in quality, the Mosel. The Rheingau also grows a bit of Pinot Noir (called spätburgunder) for the production of red wines, but these are not found often outside of Europe.
About Germany
White Wine GuruWith some of the steepest and northernmost vineyards in the world, as well as the coolest climate, Germany produces some of the best white wines in the world, mainly Riesling. Delicate, age-worthy, intense and elegant are the typical descriptions for these wines. Note that "sweet" is not a common descriptor because the idea that most German wines are sweet is just not so. In fact, the majority of wines made in Germany are dry and more recently, the country is exporting value wines that are easy to drink, extremely food friendly and, luckily for some, containing labels that are easier to read!
The classification system of Germany is somewhat confusing. Like the rest of the old world, there's some hierarchy to it all. The categories are: Tafelwien (table wine), Landwein (land wine, similar to France's Vin de Pays) and the first "Q" level, QbA. QbA wines are easy-drinking and inexpensive – the only requirement being that the wine must come from one of Germany's thirteen official wine growing regions. The final level is QmP, which is the strictest level of German wines. The qualification consists of 6 levels, based on ripeness level at harvest, though that does not always translate into sweetness level.
Here are a few definitions to help in picking out a German QmP wine:
Kabinett(cab-ee-NET)The driest level, Kabinett is usually light-bodied, low to medium in alcohol, and fairly dry. Great everyday wine and food-friendly.
Spatlese(shpate-LAY-zuh)Grapes are picked a bit later than Kabinett (Spatlese means late harvest) and have a fuller, more intense body. Most wines of this level are dry although some are off-dry.
Auslese(OWSE-lay-zuh)Wines of this level are made from select grapes harvested even later than Spatlese. The grapes are selected in bunches to make sure they are of the perfect ripeness level. One step up in both body and sweetness, Auslese wines are balanced but with a bit more sweetness – perfect with spicy Indian food.
Beerenauslese(bare-ehn-owse-lay-zuh)The longer the words get, the higher up in sweetness level you rise. Like Auslese, the grapes are selected individually, but while Auslese is selected bunches, Beerenauslese are selected berries, and usually berries affected by botrytis, or noble rot, so you have an even more specific wine, which, in turn, increases both its sweetness level and its price.
Trockenbeerenauslese(trok-ehn-bare-ehn-owse-lay-zuh)Okay, so Trocken means dry in German and yet this wine is the sweetest of the German levels. The "trocken" comes into play as the berries picked for this wine are dried, intensifying the sugars. So the wine is made from late-harvest dried berries affected with botrytis - a combination that makes a decadent (and expensive!) bottle of wine. A treat if you are able to ever try one.

RALEIGH – The North Carolina House of Representatives today approved a sweeping bill that would restrict access to abortion care for many women in North Carolina. H.B. 730 would allow public hospital employees to refuse to participate in abortion care if they object to such practices on religious or moral grounds, prohibit local governments from offering health plans that include abortion coverage to employees, and prohibit health care plans offered through the exchange under the Affordable Care Act from offering coverage for elective abortion procedures. The bill now heads to the Senate.
In response, the ACLU of North Carolina (ACLU-NC) released the following statement:
"This bill is just the latest example of politicians trying to take away women's ability to make their own personal medical decisions," said Sarah Preston, ACLU-NC Policy Director. "The provisions dealing with so-called 'conscious' protections turn the entire definition of religious liberty on its head. True religious liberty means that every individual has the right to make deeply personal decisions – including medical decisions – for themselves, based on their own beliefs. It does not mean that politicians or hospital workers get to force their own views on women by restricting their options on matters as personal and critical as reproductive health care. We urge the Senate to reject H.B. 730."

Women of Troy Sweep Through 2013 Start-up
Jan. 16, 2013
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- The No. 4 USC women's tennis team kicked off the new year with a decisive victory and with two newcomers in the win column as the Trojans tacked up a 7-0 shutout of visiting No. 68 UC Irvine today at Marks Stadium. It was a sweep down the line for USC, who got a well-rounded effort from its balanced and talented 2013 lineup.
In doubles action, the nation's No. 1 team was in a tough position early in its match, as USC's Kaitlyn Christian and Sabrina Santamaria found themselves in a 1-4 hole. The top-ranked Trojans fell behind 2-5 as well before finally finding their high gear and jetting past UC Irvine's Gong/Smith for a come-from-behind 8-5 win that notched USC's first victory of the day. At the No. 2 slot, USC's #13 Gabriella DeSimone and Zoë Scandalis also shrugged off an early deficit in their match before powering up and putting Mamiit/Stadfelt out of reach for an 8-4 win that locked in a 1-0 advantage for the Women of Troy in the match. That win went on the board just as USC's new pairing of Giuliana Olmos and Ellie Yates -- both playing in their first matches as Trojans -- made their winning push to register an 8-5 win over Facey/Schweyer at the No. 3 position.
Singles play was dominated by the Women of Troy as well. USC's two newcomers Ellie Yates and Giuliana Olmos were both eager to notch their first singles wins of their USC careers, with Yates pushing out to the first singles win of the day with a near-perfect 6-0, 6-1 victory over Nakisa Vahdat. Olmos rallied next and tallied her own shutout set in finishing off Ali Facey 6-2, 6-0. Those wins set up Gabriella DeSimone at court four for the clinching victory -- a feat she made a regular practice of last season as a freshman. DeSimone plugged a 6-1 6-2 win up over Sarah Gong, and USC had its first win of 2013 in the books.
That left USC's upperclassmen left to round things out. They all would do so in straight sets. Junior Kaitlyn Christian swarmed her way to a 6-2, 6-1 win over Maravik Mamiit on court two to get USC to a 5-0 advantage. Senior Valeria Pulido finished up next, holding serve for a 6-3, 6-3 win over Sarah Stadfelt at the No. 5 spot, while fellow senior Danielle Lao also held strong from the service line to wrap up a 6-3, 6-4 win on court one after trailing UCI's Krisitna Smith 0-3 in the second set.
The Trojans now split up for two individual tournaments this weekend, with action going on in Las Vegas and Palm Springs.
#4 USC 7, #68 UC Irvine 0

I'd sure be interested.
This is a discussion on iPhone App? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I have a friend who is a burgeoning iPhone app developer and he asked me if I would have an interest in an information app ...
I have a friend who is a burgeoning iPhone app developer and he asked me if I would have an interest in an information app that would help determine state laws and reciprocity while traveling. Since I often travel for work I told him I was definitely interested.
I figured I would ask on here and get him to take a look at this thread - would any of you find any value in something like this?
Also, I pointed him towards Handgunlaw.us - as they may be interested in partnering with him on this project.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
The will to win is worthless if you do not have the will to prepare. -Thane Yost
One already exists: it's called LegalHeat
Good to know - he told me he didn't find any when he looked.
Here it is: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/legal...337513100?mt=8
What do you think of the app?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
The will to win is worthless if you do not have the will to prepare. -Thane Yost
I have it, it seems current and is nice to have it on the iPhone. I still refer to Handgunlaw.us for reference.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
absolutely interesting app, however he should consider cross referencing it with other Droid phone manufactures. (ie) Samsung Moment, HTC etc...
Guns don't kill people, People kill people!
Several apps are already in the iTunes store that deal with gun laws and carry laws. Look them up, use them, then make one better.
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006
Probably the only home based FFL that doesn't do transfers.
There's another APP out there that's specific to CC - Gun Conceal. While I like and appreciate Legal Heat, Gun Conceal is much better at keeping updates to it's information than I've experienced with Legal Heat. Gun Conceal also has much better in-depth information than Legal Heat - on a par with Handgunlaw.us The upside to Legal Heat for me is that it covers both CC and OC.
So, all that being said, I don't see that I'd purchase another App when I've got two others on my phone that give me what I want. Nothing personal, just business thinking for me.
Arkansas Concealed Carry Instructor #12-751
If guns kill people, then:
Pincels miss spel werds;
Cars make people drive drunk;
And spoons made Rosie O'Donnel fat.
I would prefer it in an Android based OS.
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
I would be interested...on Android.
"...whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one." (Luke 22:36)
Christianity and Self Defense from a Biblical Perspective
I think a great idea would be an app that, after you set your home state, lets you know that you are entering a state that does not have reciprocity with your state. With the gps and all this would not be hard.

There is also Right2Bear in the app store
Guns are meant to be shot Harley, not thrown!
Great App. Thanks for the info!!

One of the best tea from that brand. I think it will suit to everyone. The leaves inside tea sachets are "opening" and gives the best taste and smell one could expect from jasmine tea.

Amazing delightful taste. Strong tea that can be brew a couple of times before its too diluted.

Despite the traditional focus on technology and integration, the most critical phases are the initial ones: Assessment and Planning. At the heart of a website's success is the strength of the plan that governs it, and a successful plan requires a process that is exemplified by Prescient's unique methodology that is focused on Planning.
Prescient's Intranet Plan © 2013 service (and the accompanying Internet version) is the all encompassing website and intranet design and blueprint for building or redesigning an intranet or website. Using our unique intranet methodology, our consultants construct a complete website or intranet plan that encompasses all the details including information architecture, governance and design.
Planning incorporates both the strategic vision and the functional plan and maps out the strategic and tactical steps for designing the site or portal including:
- High-level vision and mission
- Goals and objectives
- Governance
- Critical success indicators (KPIs)
- Business case and ROI
- Content management plan & policies
As well, detailed tactical plans are drafted, including:
- Functional plan
- Site or portal information architecture
- Page wireframes
- Design concepts
- Usability testing
Prescient Digital Media does not use a proprietary technology for building or constructing client intranet sites or intranet portals. We are 'technology neutral' which means that we will work with you to identify the appropriate technology solution based on your business requirements, and not "who we know" or based on reselling agreements and commissions.
In identifying the best solution for your organization we manage all aspects of the vendor process including the evaluation and selection of the vendor, negotiate technology licenses and fees, project manage the implementation, and even manage and execute ongoing site operations including custom content development and translation services.

I am here at work and I was just ready "Annie's Mailbox" in yesterday's newspaper. A person that recenlty lost their pet wrote in to Dear Annie and asked if they would ever see their pet again because every religion seems to have a different answer. Dear Annie responded with sharing one of her favorite essays to provide some comfort entitled Do Dogs Go To Heaven? by the Rev. Dale Turner (1917-2006). In that Rev. Turner shares a poem that was given to him by a parishioner and now I want to share that poem with all of you here on Dogster. So, here it is:
I explained to St. Peter,
I'd rather stay here,
Outside the pearly gate.
I won't be a nuisance,
I won't even bark,
I'll be very patient and wait.
I'll be here, chewing on a celestial bone,
No matter how long you may be.
I'd miss you so much, if I went in alone,
It wouldn't be heaven for me.
This appeared in my local newspaper exactly one week after Shelbi passed. I truly believe she is there waiting for us now! RIP girl. We love you!
I've been tagged Caliber.........Now Mom is finally making a Diary for me! Thanks Callie!
Here are the rules of the game!
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don't forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!
1. Mom and Dad named me Shelbi because that was the baby name for a girl that they had picked out way back in 1989 when Mom was pregnant (she had a boy so, they saved that name for me)!
2. Toys are not for me! I don't like to play with them and I think crazy Kasey is obsessed with them.
3. I love to bark! I do it for attention and when Kasey bothers me!
4. Since I can't get up on the couch anymore, I love to lay in bed! I'm so lazy.
5. I follow my Mom EVERYWHERE!
6. I STILL love my baby pool, it my favorite place to hange when its hot.
7. I hate when Mom leaves in her car without me, I still love to go for rides.
I am tagging the following cool pals of mine:
1. Cracker #216701
2. Angel Brandi #91940
3. Luc #340031
5. Rammer #463599
6. Clover #273416
7. Sassy #240717
Have Fun Everyone and Please Play Along!!!!!!!!!!!

Water Channels
The remarkable engineering skills of the Nabataeans have long been noted and admired, leading to their designation as "Masters of the Desert."
An extensive system of channels, tunnels, and aqueducts carried water from Petra's springs and catchment areas to reservoirs, cisterns, agricultural plots, and public works throughout the city and its environs.
|Water channels and basins carved into the rock face of the Siq, the narrow gorge that formed the entrance into Petra.

Elliott Elliott Norelius Architecture, founded in 1994, exemplifies the technological trajectory of many small firms. During the first eight years, architects Matt and Libby Elliott, Blue Hill, Me., focused on getting the business up and running while continuing to hand-draft their designs. Last year, though, they made the leap to computer-generated drawings. One reason for the change was to attract and keep the firm's electronically savvy younger members. Another was to deal with the daunting scene in the barn--a growing stack of drawings and hard-copy project files stored in Rubbermaid containers.
"We'll start archiving our drawings on CD-ROM now," says principal Bruce Norelius. "At some point around the five-year mark it reaches a critical mass where it's difficult to find an old drawing if we need to."
The importance of proper archiving became painfully clear after 9/11, when many of the architectural firms in lower Manhattan lost their files. There's also the possibility of natural catastrophes such as fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods wiping out a career's worth of records. "There's probably not enough thinking about this," says Jonathan Cohen, AIA, principal of Jonathan Cohen and Associates, Berkeley, Calif., and chair of the AIA committee on technology and architectural practice. "Reconstructing documents is expensive and requires a tremendous amount of labor, if it can be done at all."
the last word
Cohen recommends a methodical, three-part approach to archiving for posterity. The most basic issue to consider is whether the type of media you're using will be around in 20 years. While there are legal guidelines for maintaining records (see sidebar, page 29), ideally files should last as long as the building. According to Cohen, CD-ROMs are the electronic media of choice, since magnetic media loses its data in less than 10 years. And CDs let you store a lot of data in a small physical space. "Most architects have the capability of burning CD-ROMs, and we know they will last 50 years," Cohen says. Despite their virtues, of course, computers can never fully replace paper. Everyone is reluctant to part with their rolled prints, for one good reason: They last forever.
Another consideration is the type of files you're using. Ten to 20 years from now, will you have the software to open the files? Typically, if you stick with one application, you can open an older version on an upgraded one. Even so, rather than saving files only in their native CAD format, Cohen suggests also saving them as a generic file type, such as Adobe PDF, that can at least be printed.
The third issue to resolve is where to physically put the records for permanent safekeeping. CD-ROMs are so inexpensive to make that you should keep copies in more than one location, such as a bank vault, a fireproof off-site storage facility, the office, or your home. "Redundancy in all three of these categories is really important," Cohen says. An Excel spreadsheet or an Access database--backed up, of course--can be used to catalog the archives' contents and whereabouts.
The Internet is yet another modern-day--and cheap--archiving option. If you have a Web site, your service provider probably allows as much as 300 megabytes of storage space on one of its servers, and you can purchase additional space for a small fee. "Internet storage has the advantage of being accessible from anywhere," Cohen says. "Web hosting companies have very secure facilities, and they back up their servers every night, though I wouldn't rely on that as the only backup."
hanging files
The advent of digital technology and the Internet has brought architects a long way from the days of dusty drawings in the basement. Not only do these technologies provide long-term solutions for safe storage, they grant the gift of greater accessibility. Many firms use the Internet as a kind of purgatory for files, a secure stopover on the way to their final destination. And that introduces a new set of challenges--managing the files. "Our biggest frustration is just getting people to identify the files for archiving," says Jill Rothenberg, associate AIA, of Cambridge, Mass.-based ADD Inc. When a job closes out at the firm, the project manager separates the as-built CAD files from the rest of the project files, puts them in a file folder, and copies that folder to a network file server dedicated for archiving, where it remains easily accessible. "We take the whole archive folder--which contains all the project documents--and burn that to a CD, but we found that over time, when a project comes back to life it's only the CAD files people want," Rothenberg says. "Only in litigation do we need the entire contents of the folder."
In 1997, the Spector Group, with offices in Manhattan and on Long Island, N.Y., began storing its archival documents on CD-ROM, and in 2000 began keeping "soft backups" on the Web for a three-year period, via an FTP site. "For three years after a project is finished, we tend to stay heavily involved with the clients," says principal Marc Spector, AIA. "There are often minor changes in furniture layouts, lighting, and the interior design scheme." With the FTP site, which is server space purchased from an Internet provider, the plans can be pulled up and modified quickly. Last year, the 55-member firm rescued several hundred projects from potential oblivion. It scanned construction documents dating back to the late 1970s and transferred the files to CD-ROMs, which now reside in a fireproof safe.
Larger firms, such as Swanke Hayden Connell Architects, with 300 staff people in offices worldwide, follow a more formalized system. "We archive along the way, because it's such an important process," says chief information officer Darren Rizza, AIA, in Manhattan. "If it's left to the end it doesn't get done efficiently." He requests that while the project is under way, the team organize information into specific folders as they complete the traditional phases of programming. When the project is finished, Rizza puts everything in its place. For the first year after completion, he keeps the appropriate files on a near-line facility on the firm's server, also known as network-attached storage (NAS), where they're used for marketing purposes. NAS is a type of hardware device for storing data, and it's less expensive than storage on a network file server, Rizza says. Access is slower, and the files are usually read-only. After a year, the files are permanently stored on CDs or DVDs, along with any marketing material that's been generated.
control issues
Archiving is a project's final act, the process of packaging and preserving files that are no longer active. But just as digital technology, with its easy access, blurs the lines between active and inactive, it has moved design away from the more or less linear process it once was. The issues of which electronic version reflects the latest iteration while a project is in progress, and how to control access to those files, are perpetual trouble spots.
"Architects are under pressure to deliver projects faster, and that means having to do things concurrently that used to be done sequentially," Cohen says. "Coordinating our work with consultants is key to quality. Whereas before we could wait until the architecture part was at a certain level before turning it over to the engineer, now we have to be able to do things simultaneously. It's led to issues of making sure people are working with the constantly changing versions."
Architects have more control over their working files than they think, Cohen says. At the sophisticated end of the spectrum is software like Bentley Systems' ProjectWise that firms can purchase and install on their own server. The software maintains a history of work flow, offers the ability to view different document types, and creates an archive at certain milestones.
At $500 to $1,000 per seat, such systems are out of the reach of small architectural firms. But even sole practitioners can set up a password-protected FTP site, where they exchange the latest version of drawings. A consultant equipped with AutoCAD can download the file, work on it, and upload it again. Document files can also be made read-only, or they can be saved as Acrobat or plot files that the recipient can print and mark up, but not alter. "FTP sites can have more secure or less secure areas, and they can serve up all kinds of files, such as meeting notes, specs, schedules, and site photos," Cohen says. They offer a faster and easier way of transferring information than e-mail, which also limits the size of file that can be attached.
Most architecture firms use a repertoire of methods for transferring files, controlling access, and tracking the latest versions. Swanke Hayden Connell uses e-mail for the exchange of simple drawings, an FTP site for packs of drawings, and, if the project warrants it, an Extranet. FTP sites require the architect to devise a tracking system. By contrast, a project Extranet offers document-management services, and it's a more visual venue that allows participants to make changes right there, rather than downloading and uploading files. An Extranet is typically run by an application service provider (ASP)--such as Autodesk's Buzzsaw, Citadon's ProjectNet, or Bentley's Viecon--or self-hosted by an architectural firm running its own software, Cohen says. The Spector Group, for example, has developed its own Web-based project-management software. Consultants and clients can go to the Web site via secured access and stay in touch with the day-to-day operation of a project without having to attend weekly meetings.
The most seamless method of document sharing is a peer-to-peer network, such as Napster, where the files stay on people's own computers but are linked together. Because you are simply sharing your local files, version control is automatic. The disadvantage, Cohen says, is that you get none of the built-in document management services such as file viewing, check-in/check-out, and work-flow history that the ASPs give you. There are, however, free file-view applications available for CAD files, such as Volo View Express, that allow team members to view, print, and mark up CAD files. "Groove Networks is the best peer-to-peer system, and it's free up to a point," Cohen says. "Peer-to-peer would be a good choice for relatively small projects such as developer housing, and where everyone on the project team is relatively computer-savvy."
information keepers
Regardless of the tools architects use to traffic information flow, their most important task may be to educate themselves and their clients on the comparative usefulness of electronic drawings versus plain old paper.
"Suddenly, because everything is electronic, clients want to see everything," Rizza says, whereas before they didn't want to deal with all that paper. "Sometimes electronic media will speed up and enhance the process, other times it won't. But people think that because you're not delivering something totally editable, you're hampering the process."
Some of those same issues must be visited at the end of a job. What type of archival media should you give to clients? And how do you prevent its misuse?
For a client who insists on a CD-ROM of as-built drawings, the obvious solution is to copy them as read-only files. Regardless of the medium, architects need to make sure that every page of their drawings is dated and copyrighted, says Kathleen Hunter, Hunter Law, Cohasset, Mass., and that the client signs a disclaimer releasing them of liability resulting from someone's additional work.
Cottle Graybeal Yaw Architects, based in Aspen, Colo., occasionally gives nonmanipulable CAD files on CD-ROM to its retail clients for reference during tenant moves. A few years ago, the firm developed a CAD-file release form with help from its insurance carrier. Essentially, the letter states that use of the information for any other purpose is prohibited, and that the client must agree to hold CGY harmless for any damage, liability, or cost, including the costs of defense, arising from changes made by anyone other than CGY, or from reuse of the information without the prior written consent of CGY.
"The language in our contract was more general, so we developed this in letter form to give with the electronic information," says principal John Cottle, AIA.
When it comes to clients, Cohen believes architects are missing an opportunity to package project information and get paid for it. With the increase in design/build projects, it's one of the ways architects can reassert some control, he says. "Ideally, all the data on a project's changes and substitutions during construction would come back to the architect, who would create an as-built condition of the building. That becomes a very valuable thing for the owner to have."
In Cohen's mind, the client would be handed a CD-ROM of not just project drawings but operation manuals for the appliances, the furnace, the air conditioner, the pool filter, the audiovisual system, and the burglar alarm--"things that people keep in shoe boxes. Wouldn't it be great," he says, "if someone got a CD-ROM of their house that they could navigate with a Web browser and see schematics of the heating system, read product manuals, and keep track of warranties?"
Now, that's archiving for the future.

biding time
How long are you required to keep project documents? The laws vary by project and by state. Whereas public work is regulated--in Massachusetts, records of public buildings with contract fees over $100,000 must be retained for six years after final payment--no such laws apply to residential work. "The amount of time you choose to keep residential documents is partly a matter of managing your risks," says attorney Kathleen Hunter, Hunter Law, Cohasset, Mass.
Check with an attorney where you practice to find out how long after a project is finished you can be held liable for defects. Each state spells out its own statute of limitations and statute of repose, which are procedures that govern the time in which legal action must be started. "A statute of limitations measures time by a specific number of years starting when the client discovers a defect. But the statute of repose usually shortens that time by also measuring it from the date a project is completed," Hunter says. In Massachusetts, for instance, the statute of limitations requires that legal action be started within three years from the time the plaintiff becomes aware of a problem, but the statute of repose limits the time frame to six years from the point of substantial completion.
Your attorney should also let you know what kind of archival medium is required in the states in which you work. "We just worked in Massachusetts, which requires a paper archive," says Darren Rizza, AIA, chief information officer for Swanke Hayden Connell Architects, New York City. "Your archiving process could be this beautiful electronic system, but ultimately you need a piece of paper."

11 Surprising Facts You Didn't Know About UFC Fighters
There's more than meets the eye to these fist-wielding champions of the Octagon. Find out some surprising stories behind the faces of these fighters, and get excited for the first all-female UFC championship fight to take place in the Octagon! Be sure to tune in Saturday Feb. 23rd at 7pm/10pm PT/ET for the UFC 157 US Bantamweight Championship, only on PPV.
1. Ronda Rousey's "second job" is a veterinary assistant.
It's true! Pop into the California Animal Rehabilitation (CARE) in Los Angeles to see her giving acupuncture to animals in need. But don't think this affects her toughness outside the Octagon — Rousey once beat up two thugs in a movie theater.
2. Liz Carmouche was a helicopter electrician in the United States Marine Corps.
She spent five years in service, and completed three tours of duty before turning her attention to MMA fighting.
3. Jon Jones was the first MMA fighter to be sponsored by Nike on a global scale.
In August of 2012, Jones became the first fighter to be sponsored by the iconic sports label in an international way. UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva already had a deal with Nike Brazil, but Jones's contract is the first of its kind because it includes an all-new MMA clothing line.
4. Lyoto Machida is one of the least hit fighters in UFC history.
In 2009, it was widely reported that Machida was the least hit fighter in the history of the organization, absorbing just 47 strikes over 83 minutes in the Octagon.
5. Dan Henderson represented America in the 1992 and 1996 Summer Olympics.
Dan Henderson was an NCAA wrestler who also went to the Summer Olympics — once in Barcelona in 1992, and again in Atlanta in 1996.
6. Shane Carwin ("Engineer") has only had one fight go to decision.
Essentially, Carwin has won every fight of his career by knocking the other guy out or holding, choking, or punching him into submission. He's only lost twice, once in decision. And in 2009, no one had even lasted more than a couple of minutes in the ring with him. Did we mention he has a degree in mechanical engineering from the Colorado School of Mines and another degree in environmental technology from Western State College?
7. Court McGee pulled off the ultimate comeback.
Court McGee has had a miraculous comeback from a struggle with addiction, but not before he almost died of an overdose in his Cousin's home. His mother Noel, a registered nurse, found him passed out and concluded he was clinically dead. Luckily, a nearby team of paramedics was able to quickly revive him. He's been clean since 2006 and now uses his story to encourage other who are struggling with addiction.
8. Caros Fodor has a brother who is also an MMA fighter — and a real-life superhero.
Caros Fodor once wanted to be a homicide detective and did a tour in Kuwait in the Marines, but he's not the only hero in the family. His brother is Ben Fodor, better known as Phoenix Jones, a leader of the Rain City Superhero Movement in Seattle. It's a ten-member citizen crime prevention patrol, consisting of ordinary civilians all with military or MMA backgrounds.
9. Lavar Johnson survived a random shooting that kept him out of the ring for almost a year.
Lavar Johnson was just enjoying a family reunion in Bakersfield, California when tragedy struck: a teenaged gunmen approached the front lawn and fired on the crowd, striking five random people. Johnson was hit in the abdomen and was said to be between serious and critical condition in the following days. He survived, and a year later — thanks to hard work and determination — he was back in action.
10. Tim Kennedy was in the U.S. Army Special Forces for eight years…
Tim Kennedy is one of the only Americans ever to serve his country and fight professionally in the UFC. He was awarded a Bronze Star for valor under fire.
11. …and similarly, Paulo Thiago is a member of Polícia Militar do Distrito Federal and works for BOPE, a special forces unit in Brazil.
Paulo is actually fighting on two fronts — in the Octagon, and against criminals and injustice in his home country of Brazil as a member of the special forces unit known as BOPE. "When society needs help, they call the police. When police need help, they call BOPE."
Now that you know some of the participants, tune in Saturday to witness history in the making… click the poster to see the full card.
The UFC will make history on Saturday, February 23rd. Undefeated superstar "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey defends her UFC bantamweight title against Marine Corps veteran Liz Carmouche in the first women's fight ever in the UFC Octagon.

Old house slightly sways (or shakes) with high winds
Hi all,
I have an 100 old house that when winds are 80 km/h or more slighly moves. The movement, very subltle but noticeable in the second floor, is parallel to the bearing walls. Only once during hurricane Igor did I feel it in the first floor when gusts reached 120 km/h. I could describe it as a sway because it appears always paralel to the outside walls. The house looks south. But it could be just a shake. It only happens intermitenly with the highest gusts.
I am doing several renovations in the house and I tought that this is a very old house and this is part of its character, a long with the squeaky floors and the cast iron fireplace, but maybe I should invest some money on fixing/checking it. I know that many houses in the area has this or similar type of problems with the high Newfoundland winds, but I don't know. What do you guys think? What would you do?
you need to cross brace the roof at least in the attic? What kingd of roof and attic space dop you have?
What sort of renovations have you done?
We got hit by a microburst (death rattle of a thunderstorm) a couple months back. Probably had 80-100 mph winds momentarily. Neighbor's roof torn up and satellite dish removed. We lost an attic turbine and had the top of a tree flung across the yard and smashed a fence. Another tree a few houses down took out the powerlines for 24 hours. Fun times for all.
My beadroom is an enlarged dormer sticking up from the main roof. When I went up that night, I found a number of new diagonal hairline cracks in the plaster walls. The main roof is a gable roof with the gables facing north and south. The wind hit from the south, also hitting the south side of the dormer, racking it to the north. The house is 83 years old. The second floor is wood frame. The sheathing and subfloors are 1x12 planks oriented perpendicular to the frames, i.e. no real cross bracing worth mentioning.
"They don't build them like they used to" can sometimes be a good thing.
Classic old school framing techniques of actual 2x6 floor joists spanned over 14 feet with 3/4" bearing on one end. :eek: NO shear value at all on any wall.
I would be on the 2nd floor of this house and I was SERIOUSLY freaking out cause it felt like the house was going to fall over. Myself and another worker both took hold of an exterior wall and shook it as hard as we could and it was like jello.
After that we went right down to the basement and started shearing some key walls to help the shakes.
For you that don't know what a shear wall is;
A shear wall is a interior or exterior wall that is sheeted with preferably 5/8s ply wood. You block all the ends of the sheet in the middle of the wall so you can nail every perimeter edge 3 inches on center and down the studs at 10 inches on center..
Another good idea would be to solid block in between joists landing on load bearing walls.. This would help the floor not "roll" over in the event of a earthquake..
Would there be any way you could draw a layout of all the walls in the basement and first floor as a little blue print? Better idea of where to implement shear walls.
Hope that helps a bit!

Floor plans.

Attachment 34728
A couple of clarifications:
The shaking happen since we got the house, renos has nothing to do.
The roof is flat
House is detached
The center wall in the basement is not attached to the main bean and columns.
I included pictures of both one column of the center wall in one side of the house and the backwall, where joits join the bearing wall.
Attachment 34729
Attachment 34730
Baloon construction, whatever that might mean.
80-100 km/h winds are very common in this area, and I have never heard of a house collapsing, altough old timers tell histories such as houses in which you have to wait until the wind change direction to open certain door. I do not want to get to that point.
Thanks for the comments
