Random Access Time
Access time is the relative time it
takes for the drive to move from one spot of the disk to
another. Obviously, the lower this is the better. Both
drives are relatively equal and on-par with other disks of
their size. Minute differences in access times aren't going
to dramatically affect performance, but are often indicative
of how well the drive can perform overall.
Burst Speeds
Both of these drives were able to make
good use of the SATA interface, giving pretty standard burst
speeds for drives this large. They tend to score higher than
other desktop drives of smaller size, which is to be
expected. In real-life situations this does not help much as
this speed can only be sustained for short durations of time
for small segments of data.
CPU Utilization
All operations to the disk consume CPU
time. The less time the CPU needs to deal with the disk, the
better. Especially in resource intensive processes such as
video encoding or high end gaming, the more CPU a disk uses
for file operations, the more it can degrade system
Sequential (Sustained) Read
This is perhaps the most significant and
important aspect of a drive. On a disk that has the files
organized properly, sequential read has a big impact on how
long the OS will take to boot, how long applications will
take to open, how fast you can read large files such as
during an encoding process and how quickly a game takes to
load new content while running. Typically, you see more
degradation as you move towards the end of the disk. Both of
these drives saw lower speeds than I expected, dipping into
the upper 30s. This may have to do with the fact that they
are 4-platter designs, when most desktop hard drives are 3.
With a lower data density, the spread between data at the
end of the disk is even more pronounced. However, even at
the low end, they are still on par with a typical 80GB 7200
RPM SATA drive.

"A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon the world" Albert Camus
I have a neighbor lady who lives at the end of my cul-de-sac, however that's spelled. For whatever reason my dog would go nuts at the sight of her. What is interesting is this woman was married to one of my co-workers, and she had a poor reputation among the gossips at work. Dawg hater her guts, and I don't know why.
More interestingly, my sister and mom once came to stay with us for a few days. Sister can't stand dogs. Apparently "dawg" couldn't stand her either. And dawg showed me how she felt by promptly peeing and crapping all over our utility room during my sister's first night at our house. I was up at 4 AM cleaning with a wet vac and Lysol.
Dogs know. They are good judges of character.
And too, I have had repair people the dog simply would not let up our driveway. One guy I remember, dawg would have torn him apart if I let her loose. I'm convinced the dog knew something about that guy I didn't.
I agree, I think there is something about a person that will "creep" a dog out sometimes. They do seem to be good judges of character. I used to know a guy who was exceptionally tall, he was a good guy and model citizen, but dogs freaked out when he came around. I think his height, and it being different from the norm, set off an alarm in the dogs mind.
I don't think their assessment is right 100% of the time, but I pay close attention to their instinct.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
After reading all these post I'm suprised nobody has mentioned another way to take out a dog that is attacking.
We have had everything from "Doggie Treats" to guns. Personally my favored method, if the dog is already attacking, is a knife. With a blade there is less chance of missing your target and injuring innocent bystanders.
If I know I'm going to be bitten I will give the dog my support side arm and draw my blade. The reason I opt for this is, less chance of a ricochet or harming a third party.
If the dog hasn't attacked, and is more of a nusience then OC often times works great. I've used it a couple of times. I guess it depends on the situation what I will use. The thing is, make sure you have enough tools in your "toolbox" so that you have options.
Options are a good thing.
Just kick the S$#%^ out of the dog right under there jaw. If that doesn't work knock them in the head with a hammer.
I dont know about that.If I know I'm going to be bitten I will give the dog my support side arm and draw my blade. The reason I opt for this is, less chance of a ricochet or harming a third party.
The only thing I would offer up to a dog that wants to taste me is a 230 grain Golden Saber.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
Another thing about dogs recognizing weapons, I think is like a child. If they are around them enough, not just hunting hounds, they know what they are capable of and don't want to be on the business end. I had a mut growing up that would go outside with my brothers and I when we shot our pellet rifles. He understood what the gun was, and kept out from in front of us.
Just my .02 cents.
Living in Leesburg, VA in the 60's, I had a dog who hated black people. He was certainly NOT taught this but would go OFF on anyone black he saw. This was a time of racial transition (the movie theater still had a blacks-in-balcony-only rule and we had a whites and blacks highschool) and it embarrassed me greatly.
I had a dog I got at 1 year old (from the pound) and he absolutely knew what guns were, when I would get out a handgun he'd get really nervous. If I pointed it at him, he would DUCK and SHAKE! I only did this once, he was the perfect dog otherwise.
So if the dog didn't interact with black people up close, this might fit.
This is one of the reasons you want to expose your puppy to as many different things and people while they are young. Kids, old people, etc.
Put the jug about 40 feet in front of you, with the rope running past you on the ground.
Have a friend grab the rope and run as fast as he can, pulling the jug toward you on the ground.
This simulates a charging dog.
Good luck. Chances are, your jug will survive the first couple of exercises intact.
S.Mac: I was going to try the water filled milk-jug exercise while hanging it in a tree to represent a moving BG. I was going to hang it about chest high and give it a push, then try to hit it while it was swinging.
Thanks to all posters, a lot of interesting info. I am going to have to keep some doggy treats in the pick-up.. Sometimes I have snacks for myself along and usually just share them with the dogs.
Off-topic and long (apologies), but important information:
However... and this is a BIG POINT I hope everyone hears: my wife provoked an attack (challenge for our bed) and the OP did, too (entered with no owner present). An *unprovoked* attack (dog comes out into street), however, *could* be evidence of rabies. Shooting the dog will remove the ability for Animal Control to do the test... and will require the kid to go through the rabies shots. It isn't the horror story it was (it's three "no reaction" shots in the arm instead of 20 in the belly), but it will cost you two or three grand. I was the guy who made the 'treat' or 'don't treat' decisions for the health department, and rabies is a disease you REALLY - I mean *REALLY REALLY* don't want your kid to get (see YouTube if you aren't sure - I doubt if even the worst badarses here would be keen on watching that kid die).
Better to wait for two weeks: if the dog is still alive, you KNOW he wasn't transmitting rabies at the time of the bite. (Biology lesson: the virus kills less than two weeks after it begins to be present in the saliva.)
If the dog is dead (or can't be found), you still have time to treat. In a head wound the timetable changes; we would have killed the dog and tested the brain forthwith. But with non-face bites, we would send Animal Control to the house and put the animal under confinement for two weeks. If the dog was OK on their return, the kid didn't need the shots.
I can certainly imagine expressing my concerns to the owner, and I could imagine their dog "running off and not coming back" a few weeks later, too.
Best tactics suggest avoiding the situation (for OP; the kids tried by staying in the street). If the dog is charging, the decision is easy. The best tactics for an after-the-fact issue may also be as decisive. But, please, don't mess with the diagnostic procedure for possible rabies in an unprovoked bite if at all possible.

[MLS AWARDS] For the second time in three years, a player who was traded in the middle of the season was named MLS's Most Valuable Player. And like Dwayne De Rosario with D.C United in 2011, Mike Magee, the 2103 Volkswagen MLS Most Valuable Player, didn't make the playoffs with the Chicago Fire.
But that wasn't for the lack of effort. In 22 games with Chicago, Magee scored 15 goals and tallied four assists. Prior to joining the Fire, Magee had six goals
with the LA Galaxy, bringing his 2013 total to 21 goals -- the second most in MLS this season behind Camilo of Vancouver with 22 thanks to a hat trick on the
last day of the season and triple his previous high of seven with the MetroStars a decade ago.
Magee, 29, came to the Fire on May 25 in a trade necessitated by the move of the LA Galaxy
to obtain the rights to Robbie Rogers.
A loss to New York on the final day of the MLS season eliminated the Fire from the playoffs.
Magee's former Galaxy teammate, Robbie Keane, was second in voting, and Montreal Impact forward Marco Di Vaio was third.
Australian Tim Cahill of Supporters' Shield champion New York was fourth.
Magee played for the USA at the 2001 Under-17 World Cup and 2003 Under-20
World Cup but never represented it at the senior level. He is just the third uncapped player to win the MLS MVP award after Luciano Emilio (D.C. United) and
Christian Gomez (D.C. United).
Keane has suggested Magee join him on the Irish national team if nothing turns up on the U.S. front.
MLS Most Valuable Players:
2013: Mike Magee – Chicago Fire
2012: Chris Wondolowski – San Jose Earthquakes
2011: Dwayne De Rosario – D.C. United
2010: David Ferreira – FC Dallas

/// Tech's Rising Stars Push Into the Online-to-Offline Era
Although startups like Pinterest, Uber and Airbnb may not seem to have much in common except their lofty valuations, they share a similar purpose that could help describe the current era of consumer technology: Bringing the online world to the offline world. Shutterstock/ Curioso This is not a new concept, of course. But it's a meaningful moment for the physical world to be activated by social, financial, personalized, and sensory data. And likewise, it's a relief for technology companies to chill out about counting every minute people spend their websites — and instead figure out ways to fit usefully into the living world. If you judge by the multimillion-dollar bets investors are placing on consumer technology, offline-to-online era startups are among the biggest, by far. Investors just valued Uber at $3.5 billion , Pinterest at $2.5 billion earlier this year, and Airbnb at $2.7 billion last year. After the Twitter IPO, these are what's next. Though they are not competitors at all, the way people at these startups design products around the online-offline dynamic is persistent and similar. They collect data to make their systems more efficient. They personalize and learn based on user behavior, and they work to exist in a 3-D world rather than on a flat HTML page. And they have access to a larger and more mainstream audience than has ever before used the Internet. "We're now seeing things come full circle, where the physical real-life experience is informed by the virtual-life experience," said David Sze of Greylock Partners, which is making a number of bets in this arena, such as Nextdoor and Airbnb. But at the same time, these startups face similar problems, including: Everything breaks down when the connectivity dies; the stakes are much higher in the physical world; and, regulators and incumbents tend to prefer the world as it was already set up. And perhaps most importantly, they open up yet more opportunities for people to be tracked when they don't want to be. A Lyft driver with the service's trademark pink hood-mounted mustache John Zimmer, founder of the peer-to-peer ride-sharing company Lyft — an up-and-comer valued at about a third of a billion dollars but continually facing threats around commercial licensing and insurance issues — can identify with all these pluses and minuses of the current era. "For the last two decades, tech tended to make it easier for people to be isolated, rather than actually being in the real world," he said. "Now we're bringing them back together." Lyft, for example, has inspired a dedicated community but also has many haters and skeptics in the worlds of traditional transportation and insurance

Why doesn't:
(a b) /. x_Times -> List @@ x
return {a,b}? My (flawed) reasoning is that a b has form Times[a,b], and so
x matches to Times[a,b]. List@@x replaces Times with List to yield
List[a,b], or {a,b}...or so it would seem.
The explanation is somehow linked to the fact that:
(a b) /. x_Times :> List @@ x
returns {a,b}, but I don't see why this works but not the above.
Although List@@(a,b) returns {a,b}, I want to use the above ReplaceAll
function (this example here is taken from a larger problem).

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
What are the precedents? I was given forced meds and the hospital de-stabilized me. I am just now getting better.
The bills are paid because I have Medicare and NC-Medicaid. I have only a small bill from Central Regional Hospital from a previous stay.
The pain and suffering were time lost from being kept so long and the trauma of that damn pysch ward: the violence of doors slamming, social dynamics with racism and people who get bothering me, the food was questionable and looked like it wasn't made with care, the unseen power struggle with staff, and the hopelessness of not being released. The first time I was there, i was kept for 3-consecutive committments - 300 days. Not knowing when you will leave alone is great suffering.
It was too much, but i do not seem to have much traction with the law. I don't want compensation to go and see a psychologist. I want a pain and suffering award for peace of mind.
So...i should talk to a personal injury attorney about my case - even though my physical body is well, but my mind is not the same? It's shameful to mention a mind that is not well, but being the person I am, i still remember the loogies, and piss on the floor, and feces in the quiet room.

Choosing the Best Double Strollers is often a challenge to many mums. A baby stroller is one item that a mother can hardly do without. With all the multiple roles that we play in our homes we need a convenient device to move the infants around. The situation gets tricky if one has more than one kid or twins also for that matter, to take care of.
If you are in a similar predicament like I was in then, you must be wondering about how to pick the best double strollers. I found the following tips to be very beneficial as I was choosing one for my two kids:
Type of double strollers
Double Strollers come in two types: the side by side and the in-line strollers. The former has the seats connected to one another by the side. Your two passengers will share similar experiences with the canopies and seats having similar adjustable properties such as seat size, recline options, protection from the elements and stow pockets.
This type of double stroller is ideal for you if you have twins or kids of similar age. The only major concern is that they are relatively wide and can be difficult to navigate through doorways and narrow spaces. Additionally they are bulkier when packaged and can be tricky when it comes to storage.
The in-line variety of double strollers have one of the seats located behind the other. The major advantage of this kind of stroller is that it is easier to navigate through narrow passages. However it does not offer similar experiences to your two passengers. So as you select the best double stroller for you weigh the two options and the comparative advantages of each in the light of areas you are prone to use them.
Comfortable and adjustable seats
Once you put your kids in the stroller they have no option but to remain seated. Their comfort in that position is paramount. You don't want to have them fatigued and uncomfortable along the way. Getting a double stroller with sets that have a soft feel and a reasonable recline is a sure way of having your little passengers remain as comfortable as possible.
How easy it is for you to maneuver the double strollers should be another consideration you should make. Essentially, if your stroller is not easy to move, shift around and turn it won't be comfortable for you to use.
You need a stroller that turns consistently and easily, one that will always roll in a straight direction without requiring too much corrective adjustment on one side or the other side. The number and quality of wheels come I handy here.
Most double strollers come with four wheels; two on each frame. It is wise to pick a design that has fewer number of wheels especially at the front. This kind of designs with fewer are easier to maneuver around.
You and your kids are not confined to the precincts of your home. At times you need to go out with them in tow. At times you just need to take them out to refresh. You need a stroller that can perform superbly in difficult terrain, one that you can comfortably use in the woods and on relatively rough roads.
As a caring and loving mum do not hesitate to use these tips to choose the best double stroller for your kids.…

Lifting Point Diagram
1 Attachment(s)
Some of you may have noticed that the links in the HOW TO on this subject a broken (it links to an external site I think) as you can see here:
So that we still have that information in the interim (as the MODS see fit) - here is the Lifting Point the diagram and text from the Ford Manual:
Lifting Points
CAUTION: The vehicle must not be lifted on the outer rocker panel.
CAUTION: It is not recommended that the vehicle is jacked or lifted on the rear suspension crossmember. If the vehicle must be lifted on the crossmember, make sure that the jack or lift is positioned centrally. Failure to follow these instructions will result in deformation of the closing plate which will weaken the crossmember.
NOTE: When lifting a vehicle with a two-post lift, vehicle levelling pads must be used under the lifting points.
It is important that only the correct lifting and support locations are used at all times.

That sucks. Anyway, when you say that it just humms, you're talking about the electric motor, I assume. More than likely, one of the capacitors on the motor blew. You can replace it yourself, but you have to be careful because even with the power off to the motor, these capacitors contain alot of voltage, much like a battery but they will discharge all at once if grounded.
I'd remove the drivebelt and then try to turn the compressor pump by hand first to make sure it wasn't something mechanical there. Then, remove the cover(s) on the capacitors. I've read where they recommend you bleed off any voltage on the capacitors with a wire that has a small resistor installed on it. You'd best do a search online for advice on this if you can. Then after you do this bleed off, remove the two leads on the capacitor, take an ohm meter and do a test on the capacitor. What will happen is the capacitor will take some power from the ohm meter battery supply and the resistance will change as it's hooked up. Then hook the ohm meter leads reversed from how you just did it, the reading you just took will reverse itself. There are also some multimeters that have selections just for testing capacitors.
I know, confusing, and I'm sorry I'm not too good at explaining this, hopefully someone else will give you a better explanation.
Good luck

Colorado Newspaper Props Up "Extremely Thin" Ethics Charge Against Democratic State Senator
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
Colorado newspaper The Pueblo Chieftain is credulously reporting on an alleged "ethics complaint" by Democratic State Sen. Angela Giron, which, according to a Colorado ethics watchdog group, will be "almost certainly dismissed as frivolous."
The Chieftain's reporting on the complaint -- that Giron posted her state email address and phone number on her campaign website -- is latest piece of questionable Chieftain coverage of the recall campaign targeting Giron over her support for stronger gun violence prevention laws.
Following the Colorado General Assembly's passage of legislation to expand background checks on gun sales and limit firearm magazine capacity to 15 rounds, Giron and three other Senate Democrats who supported the gun violence prevention measures were subject to recall petition drives. On July 18, a Denver judge certified recall petitions against Giron and Senate President John Morse, setting the stage for a September 10 recall election.
According the top local news story in the August 3 edition of the Chieftain, "An Avondale man sent an ethics complaint in an email to the Colorado Secretary of State's office Friday" alleging that Giron "is using her state-provided email address and phone number on her campaign website." The complainant reportedly does not live in Giron's district, but contacted the Secretary of State because "he is not a fan of her politics, especially her votes on the state's gun control laws." The story also quoted Becky Mizel, chairwoman of the Pueblo County Republican Party, who falsely claimed that "Angela Giron has chosen to use state resources and taxpayer money for her own political gain," and added that she was "disgusted" by Giron's actions.
In response to the Chieftain article, left-leaning political blog Colorado Pols noted that a number of Colorado state legislators -- both Republicans and Democrats -- feature state contact information on their campaign websites. In fact, a Media Matters review of Colorado's 100 General Assembly members' campaign websites found that 53 members listed a state phone number, e-mail address and/or mailing address.
Furthermore, the allegation against Giron is likely baseless and was not accurately reported by the Chieftain.
In an interview with Media Matters, Colorado Ethics Watch Director Luis Toro called the allegations against Giron "extremely thin" and predicted that the complaint would "almost certainly [be] dismissed as frivolous." Toro noted that his assessment of the complaint was based on the contents of the Chieftain article as the complaint has not yet appeared on the Colorado Secretary of State website.
Toro told Media Matters that the allegations in the Chieftain article are not properly described as an ethics complaint, but would instead be correctly termed a campaign finance complaint as the complaint concerns Giron's conduct as a candidate, not as a legislator. He added, "The paper would do well to understand the difference between an ethics complaint and a campaign finance complaint" and that it "would be helpful for them to understand the underlying law" so that its readers could be informed as well.
Asked about the permissibility of using state contact information on a campaign website, Toro explained that "the reason everybody does it is because it's legal," and -- noting that no money is involved in the allegation against Giron -- added that "what's illegal is using state funds to contribute to a campaign."
The Chieftain's coverage of the complaint against Giron follows an incident where the newspaper's general manager Ray Stafford emailed Giron to express his displeasure with her support for stronger gun violence prevention laws and the revelation that other newsroom employees, including the Chieftain's assistant publisher and vice president, signed the petition to recall Giron.
On March 3, while the legislation was still under consideration, Stafford sent Giron an email from his work account which stated, "I am the General Manager and responsible for the entire newspaper, including the newsroom ... I have never written a legislator, but I want you to know I oppose all the bills currently being considered involving guns, ammunition, magazines and ownership transfers because I think they're poorly written and a knee-jerk reaction to recent deaths. I also believe such legislation is a challenge to our Second Amendment."
Stafford was criticized for noting his role as general manager in his email by Chieftain assistant publisher and vice president Jane Rawlings, who said that, "A person who works for us should identify this as their personal opinion and he did not state those words in his email, 'this is my personal opinion' and he probably should have." Rawlings, however, added that Stafford's email should not be seen as an attempt to pressure Giron with newspaper coverage.
Appearing on The Rachel Maddow Show, Senate President Morse said that Stafford "threatened [Giron] with how he's going to cover her and then followed through, really, she was in the paper and on the front page for a week, practically a week straight, including with pictures that weren't very flattering, almost deliberately." Fox affiliate KDVR noted that Morse's characterization of the Chieftain's coverage of Giron was correct and that the paper regularly referred to her as the "key vote" on gun violence prevention legislation:
The newspaper's coverage of the gun control measures has repeatedly defined Giron as the key vote on bills to mandate universal background checks and banning high-capacity magazines and referred to her in its headlines. In reality, with both measures expected to pass by a vote of 18-17, every Democratic yes vote is potentially a swing vote.
On July 28 ProgressNow Colorado revealed that Stafford, Rawlings and Chieftain production director Dave Dammann all signed a recall petition against Giron. This fact was not disclosed by the Chieftain, and instead the paper's editorial board dismissed subsequent conflict of interest allegations, writing that "we maintain our news coverage of [Giron] has been fair and balanced."

Super Rugby: Cheetahs v Western Force match preview
Cheetahs host Western Force on Saturday looking for a positive result to climb off the foot of the Super Rugby table.
Last Updated: 08/05/14 2:43pm
Naka Drotske's side currently prop up the standings with 15 points from their opening 11 games, including eight defeats.
Their latest loss was last week's 26-21 reverse at the Bulls but, on a more positive note, the Cheetahs won their last game at home - a 35-22 victory over the Stormers.
The Force have enjoyed a solid start to the campaign, winnings six of their nine outings to sit in the wildcard placings, and saw off the Bulls 15-9 at home before last week's bye.
Springboks Johan Goosen and Coenie Oosthuizen have been named in the Cheetahs starting line-up after they came off the bench in the defeat to the Bulls.
Fly-half Goosen has recovered from a concussion to replace Elgar Watts, while Oosthuizen comes in for Maks van Dyk at tighthead prop. Both Watts and Van Dyk drop down to the replacements.
Drotske said: "It is good to have both Johan and Coenie back. They are two quality players that are very influential in the way we want to play.
"Coenie played 30 minutes against the Bulls and I think he showed he is ready for more this week. We will see how it goes with his fitness, but we are excited to have him back.
"Goose has had a rough patch were he had a couple of niggles, so hopefully everything is now 100 percent fine and he can play longer."
Raymond Rhule is named in the side even though he aggravated an ankle injury against the Bulls but if he does not recover in time, Springbok sevens player Cornal Hendricks will be promoted from the bench.
With flanker Jean Cook sidelined with a shoulder injury after the last game, versatile loose forward and lock Teboho Mohoje gets his chance in what will be his starting debut.
Western Force head coach Michael Foley has named an unchanged squad which overcame the Bulls a fortnight ago.
The match will mark fly-half Sias Ebersohn's first in Bloemfontein since joining the Australian club from the Cheetahs for the 2013 Super Rugby season. The Bloemfontein-born pivot played 30 matches for the Cheetahs between 2010 and 2012.
Lock Wilhelm Steenkamp, who will start from the bench, also makes his return to the Free State, where he played 13 matches for the Cheetahs in 2012.
Steenkamp also represented the Bulls and the Sharks before joining the Western Force this season.
Saturday's match is the club's second in a series of four matches against South African opposition, with the Force also to play the Stormers in Cape Town (May 17) before returning to Perth to face the Lions on Saturday, May 24.
Foley said the four remaining matches leading into the June Test break represents an important period for his side.
"It was pleasing to see the boys adapt to a different style of game in difficult conditions against the Bulls," he told the club's official website.
"The intensity we played with was excellent and will be critical in overcoming the Cheetahs, who have scored the third most tries in the competition this season."
Don't miss any of the action as the Cheetahs host the Force live on Sky Sports Xtra or Sky Sports 2 - Red Button from 4.10pm on Saturday.
Cheetahs: 15 Daniller, 14 Rhule/Hendricks, 13 Sadie, 12 Benjamin, 11 le Roux, 10 Goosen, 9 Pretorius; 1 Caylib Oosthuizen, 2 Strauss (c), 3 Coenie Oosthuizen, 4 Ferreira, 5 Uys, 6 Brussow, 7 Cook, 8 Prinsloo.
Replacements: 16 van Jaarsveld, 17 Nyakane, 18 van Dyk, 19 Greeff, 20 Vermeulen, 21 Venter, 22 Watts, 23 Hendricks/Mnisi.
Western Force: 15 Hayward, 14 Haylett-Petty, 13 Brache, 12 Godwin, 11 Cummins, 10 Ebersohn, 9 Prior; 1 Cowan, 2 Charles, 3 Longbottom, 4 Coleman, 5 Wykes, 6 Cottrell, 7 Hodgson (c), 8 McCalman.
Replacements: 16 Tessmann, 17 Faulkner, 18 Hoskins, 19 Steenkamp, 20 Stander, 21 Turner, 22 Holmes, 23 Tuatara-Morrison.

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
The case was prosecuted by the Oregon Department of Justice Medicaid Fraud Unit with the cooperation of the Washington County District Attorney's Office
Washington County District Attorney Bob Hermann and Oregon Attorney General John Kroger today announced that a former Department Of Human Services worker was sentenced to 20 months in prison for stealing $19,124.96 from the state.
Naudaan Hurh was sentenced today after pleading guilty to one count of Aggravated Theft in the First Degree; two counts of Theft in the First Degree and one count of Computer Crime in the First Degree. In addition to the prison sentence, Hurh must pay $19,124.96 in restitution.
"Cracking down on health care fraud is crucial to making health care available to all Americans," Attorney General Kroger said.
The Hurh conviction is part of Attorney General John Kroger's on-going efforts to protect the integrity of Oregon's health care system. In addition to criminal prosecutions, the Department of Justice has aggressively gone after pharmaceutical companies for conducting fraudulent drug marketing campaigns. Those efforts have recovered more than $19 million for Oregon in 2009. The Oregon Department of Justice is recognized as a national leader in the fight against health care fraud.
Hurh, a long-time DHS employee, started accessing the DHS computer system in 2007 to illegally alter Medicaid client information to issue 26 fraudulent checks to feed his gambling addiction. Hurh's scheme consisted of searching for Medicaid clients that received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits through the Social Security Administration and reducing their SSI benefit amounts. This caused the DHS computer system to automatically issue an Oregon Supplemental Income Payment (OSIP) check in the amount of the SSI benefit reduction. Hurh would then change the name and the address of the Medicaid client so that the fraudulent OSIP checks would be sent to a name similar to his or his family members at addresses he could access. After the checks were issued, he would again access the computer system to change all the information back to its unaltered state. The stolen funds were from OSIP funds, which is state general fund money.
This case was investigated by the Oregon Department of Justice, Medicaid Fraud Unit and prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Sheen Y. Wu with the cooperation of the Washington County District Attorney's Office. The Medicaid Fraud Unit investigates and prosecutes billing fraud; physical and financial abuse in Medicaid-funded facilities and fraud committed by Medicaid program employees.
Attorney General John Kroger leads the Oregon Department of Justice. The Department's mission is to fight crime and fraud, protect the environment, improve child welfare, and defend the rights of all Oregonians.

I must put my 2 cents in on this topic of discussion.
The question is Should Inmate be SHOT while Escaping?
In my opinion "YES".
Heres why I feel so strongly about this.
Let me remind you that in 2000 we had 7 Inmates escape from a Texas Prison and were on the run for about 5 weeks. They, while free, went on a crime spree that has been well documented.
You can read about it here for yourself.
Wapedia - Wiki: Texas Seven.
My wife was the Elementary School Teacher for the Son of Slain Irving Officers Aubrey Hawkins that year and had a front row seat of the repercussion of their Crime Spree.
I actually met Officer Hawkins at a Meet your Teacher night. He was a nice person, kind of a nerdy guy, who was friendly and easy to talk to. I know he was proud of his Family and loved his job. I got the impression he was proud to protect his Community from Evil.
He didnt deserve to die the way he did in an ambush, just for doing his job. (I tear up just thinking about him. He was a nice guy and a great Father!!!!! His son was proud of his Dad, and a great kid because of him too.)
After all these 7 men were supposed to be locked away because they were part of the EVIL Officer Hawkins stood up against.
These Men became Desperate Men once they got free and no one was safe on the streets until they were caught.
Just because an Inmate is not a Convicted Murderer does not mean he will not MURDER to remain free. As I see it, Prisoners are dangerous men until the System determines they have paid for their crime. By committing a new crime of Escaping they certify they are not rehabilitated. And let me remind you, Prison is a College of Evil for these people. Few come out rehabilitated and ready to become a productive member of society. Most return to prison because Crime is all they are willing to do.
Should they be Shot for Attempting to Escape from Prison? Absolutely!
Should the Guards Shoot to Kill?
Like was said, Escaping Prisoners are not trying to get away to attend a Bible Study.
These People are desperate and are trying to get freedom so they can continue their trade unchecked. Without the walls and rules you and I live by. They have already gone through the System that has determined they are enough of a threat to be incarcerated. (Isolated for our protection)
Read the story of the Texas & and remind yourself, one of these nights you may meet one of the Escapees in your living room, in your underwear, while they hold a knife to the throat of your loved ones demanding cash and vehicles. Would you want to meet them, or watch them bleed?
It is said here in Texas we have an Express Lane to the Death Chamber. Personally, I dont think its fast enough! Death is the Ultimate Crime Deterrent.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi! You know, to give you the best answer, I think I should ask you a few questions first that will help define the problem and the situation.
Going to individual therapy to talk your feelings out will be useful for its own sake, but it is not going to address the marriage problem. At best, XXXXX XXXXX can help coach you on how to get her to come to therapy. So if your goal is to make changes in the marriage, we need to discuss how to get her to be willing to participate in making changes.
Why does she refuse to go to couples therapy?
Is this a refusal on her part to do anything to change the no-sex situation?
You had a loss of confidence issue. About sex? Or confidence about something else?
What was her reason for reacting to your loss of confidence by shutting you out? Why did your loss of confidence not make her want to try to help you?
Any extra information that will help, feel free to share.
Dr. Mark
I do not know why she refused the therapy. She feels like she is taking care of everyone else. She does have alot "on her plate".
She is taking care of her mother alot . Hospitals and doctor appointments and grocery shopping for her and helping her on house problems. We have a daughter with diabetes who is in college but my wife spends alot of time with the insurance and coaching her on the phone. She was studying for a masters in teaching through an online university which she has just finished in August after 2 and a half years of intense studying and started a new job in September as a fourth grade teacher.
I am so sorry: the system did not alert me that you had replied. I only found out while doing a manual review. I apologize.
Thank you for the added information. It helps a lot. First, let me say I can imagine how frustrating and distressing this situation must be for you. I'm concerned about the neglect that's happened in your marriage. What do I mean?
I doubt the problems began just 2 years ago from the timeline you've given to me. That's perhaps when things became visible. What happened here?
You don't spend a lot of time telling me about yourself. But it might be similar to your wife's story. It seems that your wife has devoted a tremendous amount of energy to giving to other people. To your daughter and to her mother, for example. And she's drained her remaining reserves in getting her Masters. There has been nothing left, it seems, for the marriage.
Why not? Somehow the marriage was able to be pushed to the background over the years until it was not an important part of life to work on. What happened?
Communication is the muscular system of love. And love is the circulatory system. Let me repeat that because it's so important: it's not sex; it's not beauty or looking good; it's not being smart or clever. Communication between the two people is the love muscle; it's the muscular system of love. The desire to give to the other person, to make the other person happy is the heart of love, the circulatory system.
It seems the two of you have let the marriage just coast along as if it's like the house: it just is there until something goes dramatically wrong. That's just maintaining a balance to get what each person needs, to take from the marriage what one needs. But that's not the purpose of marriage. And when that becomes the purpose, then the heart of marriage, the desire to give to the other person begins to wither. And then the communication becomes one way: everyone is talking basically to themselves, not each other.
From what you write, the sense you give is that what is happening is not yet atrophy. Atrophy is what happens to muscles when they are not exercised and used regularly. They lose tone and eventually lose ability to activate. And love can atrophy. It slowly wears out until you can't find how to access it any more.
So, we'll try to see if we can get her to be willing to put her "heart" back into this, to reactivate her giving circulatory system. I want you to print out my answer and take it and her to a Starbucks or other quiet place and discuss it and commit to the program to try to make your marriage a success. You're going to start with a book. You'll get 2 copies, one for each of you. Each night you're both going to read a few pages or a chapter and do the exercise there if there is one in those pages. Every other night, or at most, every third night sometimes, you will get together, either at home or at the Starbucks and talk about what you read. What you think of it, what it inspired in you. Make notes in the margins. And each one talk about the subject of the pages and what you think. That's your assignment and dates. She is busy with her new job, but this is her marriage. If your spouse had a life threatening illness, you'd find the time. Your marriage has a life threatening illness.
The book: It's by the foremost researcher into relationships in our day, John Gottman. He's famous for being interviewed on TV and being able to tell when a couple will get divorced within 5 minutes and having 90% accuracy. I've studied his therapy and use his therapy in my practice and that's why I'm concerned that you two do this. So the book is the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. You can get it cheaply online or see if you can get it locally to save time.
Now, a secret: the magic is not in the book. The exercises and Gottman's insights will be very useful and important for the two of you. But the magic is in the act of working together on your marriage! The two of you paying attention every single day to your marriage and making effort every single day: that's the magic ingredient in great marriages that GROW in love as the years pile up. I want to make sure you both understand this. Because that's the key to our work here. Okay?
If this work gets you two to first base but not all the way, if it isn't a home run, then consider therapy: the two of you MUST work on how emotional connections are made and maintained. The two of you together need help in learning how to make your marriage more emotionally intimate and positive. There are two types of therapies I recommend strongly for you two to consider.
One type of therapy is called Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Why? Because it focuses on how there have been created emotional barriers and how to get through those barriers. Please consider it before you take other action.
Here is the web address for their therapist finder: http://iceeft.com/findtherapist.php
On the website you'll also find excellent books by the founders, Sue Johnson and Leslie Greenberg.
The other therapy is Gottman therapy. Yes, the same Gottman as the book above. Seek a therapist who is certified by the Gottman Institute. Here's their web address for finding a therapist:
http://www.gottman.com/49824/Find-A-Therapist.html Why? Because his couples therapy model is the most straightforward model available. I hope that therapists working in these types of couples therapies are listed for your area. If not, find a couples therapist who makes you feel confident in his/her skills and values.
I wish you the very best in this and in the future!
Please remember to click the green accept button because: even though you have made a deposit, I do not get paid for my time unless you press ACCEPT. Feel free to continue the discussion as my goal is to get you the best answer possible. You can continue the discussion even after pressing ACCEPT. Bonuses are always appreciated! If I can be of further help with any issue, just put "for Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, XXXXX XXXXX

When did bickel NOT ever defend a ranger?? he always has and its clear that Torts dont want him or anyone for that matter to fight..
Cant you guys see that he got rid of ORR, SHELLEY, SCOTT, RUPP, Now we got asham hurt, but we have MIKE HALEY why not bring him up??.. because he wants a pu$$y team with no bangers.. LET PLAY SKATING DEFENSIVE GAME AND DONT WORRY ABOUT TEAMS TAKING LIBERTIES AGAINST US!!!..
someone on the board said even Henrik/King is down and not playing, maybe he is also tired of his bull$hit benching of players..
The other night with the injuries and he benches the only 40 goal scorer (gabby)he has for the 3rd period. thats NOT a coach thats an idiot...
if I owned that team his f%$kin ass would have been fired, I"ll be dam if my $7M guy will be sitting on the bench collecting wood. I DONT GIVE A CRAP WHAT HE DID...
tonite he benches Krieder in a one goal game another moron move. that kid can and will turn a game around when torts get fired.. and he will score 30 goals
The only person losing these games is TORTS! because he is an idiot..
Torts is an a$$hole and injuries are not whats disturbing this team, they are tired of his Torts Bull.. he has overstayed his welcome and he needs to stop living on the lucky 2004 stanley Cup ring..
Torts verbally abuses players & physically pushed MDZ on the bench I think it was last season. he would NOT dare do that to one of the goons..
They are 8-8 and if he loses a couple more of these home stretch games torts I hope should be gone, and they can put a f%$kin kangaroo! behind the bench and he will do a better job then that moron...
THIS TEAM IS NOT TUFF AND THE HAVE LOST THERE WAY..This is what happened 3 yrs ago when Renney got $ht canned, the players were not responding anymore
Well stated! Even I (who has defended Tort's repeatedly in the past) have had enough. The team needs a new voice behind the bench before it's too late and a lot of these younger players like Kreider develop a crisis of confidence.

Quite rural here. Can't see any type of problem around my way. On the other hand we will see what will show up on the evening news coming from the big cities like Philadelphia.
I am not expecting anything on my side of town but can't say about the other side. Don't even as about work, I may plan to be sick that day.
My closest neighbor is a half mile away and their family, next neighbor is over a mile away, so not much to worry about here, plus they would have to drive up a quarter mile drive way to get to the house.
Give me my guns and my right to keep and bear arms, and they can keep their change.
Slim chance, but I'm always prepared.
There is a slim chance we will see anything here, I'm 30 miles outside of any large city and a small country town that has recently grown into suburbia USA... however, if anger is directed suburbia is a prime target.

I guess if my guy loses I could go down to our local Macy's and ask to see the store manager... (I'm just too old to riot)
I live too rural and don't anticipate any mischief in my community. None of us display our "jewelry" in our windows, besides a diesel F-250 would give 'em all hernias trying to turn it over.
I know from experience my cow's can take care of themselves......that's one stampede a rioter will lose.

I live rural, but on an artery that leads to/from urban areas.
When you hear "Virginia Beach/Norfolk" you don't think "riot," but it wasn't too many years ago that there were riots at the oceanfront. Lots of black college kids at "Greekfest." Party got out of hand, then the whole situation mushroomed. Went on for several days. I was working as a security officer an hour away and had a few tense encounters with rowdies who were leaving the area and going home.

Paco, I am a little shocked at west Plano, I can see what you described in east Plano, but regardless I suppose anywhere anything is possible. Rockwall, I really dont see a problem, however there are way to many areas between here and work that could be a problem.

The farmers aren't going to riot. They've got too much work to do.
....and the college kids aren't going to riot, either, because there are so many farmers....

TrekPod Go! Monopod; When The Going Gets Tough. . . Page 2
TrekPod Go! performed up to and exceeded any requirements I might have for a monopod. Whether it was walking trails in a state park or hiking more rugged terrain in national parks, such as Rocky Mountain National Park, the little monopod that could served well as both a camera support and hiking staff. It's not just for photographers; my guess is that birders and other lovers of the outdoors will consider it an indispensable accessory. I do.
Head Of The Class
Monopods can be used with the same type of heads as a tripod but typically don't use any head at all. Flashpoint's carbon fiber and Monostat's monopods can be used without any head and like any monopod are easily tilted to get the perfect camera angle. Monostat-RS monopods have a reversible 3/8 and 1/4" mount that can be screwed into your camera's base or tripod collar on long focal length and zoom lenses. TrekPod Go! includes a mini ball head but also offers the industry standard 1/4"-20 mounting stud so you can remove and replace it with something more substantial, such as Adorama's ($59) Flashpoint magnesium-alloy ball head that features a micrometer marked base, rubber gripped adjustment knobs, and a quick-release shoe.
Technical Specifications
Column Sections: Three plus spreadable leg section
Height, Tripod Mode: 43" to 57.5"
Closed Length: 23"
Leg Lock Type: Twist lock/screw (spreadable leg section)
Max Load, Tripod Mode: 9 lbs

CANADA STOCKS-TSX dips as mining stocks, Valeant weigh, energy stocks gain
TORONTO Jan 8 (Reuters) - Canada's benchmark stock index dropped slightly on Friday as mining stocks weakened and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc shed more than 6 percent, while energy stocks firmed despite a drop in crude oil prices.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed 2.76 points lower, or down 0.02 percent, at 12,445.45. Just four of the index's 10 main groups were in negative territory. (Reporting by Fergal Smith, editing by G Crosse)

George Parker: Wots It All Abaht… Alfie?
George Parker is the perpetrator of adscam.typepad.com. Every week he shares his opinions on the advertising world with PSFK.
For those of you too young, or too thick to recognize the headline of this week's opus, simply think of the film that made Michael Caine, Michael Caine and ultimately, Sir Michael Caine. And if you have to ask who Michael Caine is, start standing in line right now so you can be the first on your block to get your slimy mitts on an iPad on April 3rd. Not that any of this has anything to do with this week's column; it's simply a light hearted lead-in to a deadly serious subject.
Is advertising fucked?
Well, that depends on what your definition of advertising is, and while you're at it, what your definition of fucked is.
Anyone who's had the perseverance to stay with me over the last couple of weeks, knows that I was one of eight people chosen to give a rabid slathering at the mouth presentation to the assembled hordes at the 4 A's conference in San Francisco. My idea was simply to get rid of the holding companies by having all the BDA's buy themselves back from the bean counter's greasy clutches. Yeah, as you would expect, everyone at this shindig regarded my suggestion as some kind of joke and quickly turned the page to get on with the more serious business of datametrics, social networking, knocking down walls and blowing up silos while building "Agencies of the Future."
Which leads me on to the meat of this conversation… I find it funny that all the shit being written at the present concerning the current state of the ad business, is about how traditional advertising is dead, 'cos it's no longer about selling shit, it's now about engaging in conversations. Namely, people are not affected by advertising; they are influenced by what they see on their laptop, cell phone, or fucking digital pogo stick. So now the primary objective is to have them feel positive towards the brand. Buying shit… Man, what century are you from?
Of course what is so marvelous about this whole situation is that irrespective of the outrageous claims made by the perpetrators of the miracles of "Social Media," no one is able to put up rock solid case studies showing how some inane Twitter feed sold billions in Rice Crispies (and please don't give me that hoary old Dell story about 3 million in sales, via Twitter bullshit… the sales CANNOT be attributed solely to the Twitter fantasy.) No, the true genius of this whole thing is that it is merely an update of the traditional smoke and mirrors BDA's have got away with for years. Because now talking shit to clients about engaging in "Social Media Conversations' "is as meaningless as blowing gazillions on a massive TV campaign to marginally "Increase Brand Perception" used to be. Neither of these approaches makes sense, they never did, they never will.
Perhaps the saddest aspect of this whole descent into the fiery pit of advertising mediocrity is that irrespective of whether you are spending your money on advertising or conversations, the vast majority of what is being produced is still puerile, soporific, and an insult to the audience's intelligence.
Worse, it's a very sad reflection of what this business has become. And finally, is this what you entered the business to become part of?
George Parker is a guest columnist for psfk.com. He is the perpetrator of adscam.typepad.com, which is without doubt, one of the most foul and annoying, piss & vinegar ad blogs on the planet. He is the author of MadScam and his new book, The Ubiquitous Persuaders, which is currently setting the ether ablaze (and which you can order now on Amazon). He will continue to relentlessly promote the crap out of it until you are forced to stab yourself in the eyes with knitting needles.

My personal opinion I dont dig the shines you put on throws just a personal preference. After that all being said you have enough skill to make your own adjustments and it still look good.

How did the Skinners fail?
I haven't been able to find an adjustable peep sight for my 1894c...but was considering a set of the adjustable Brockman peep sights as advertised in Miday USA's catalog (page 684). Does anyone have any experience with these sights? They are expensive, but after seeing how the Skinners failed on my gun, maybe I should spend a little more for something that can be adjusted. I plan to mate the Brockmans with a Merit adjustable aperture as well.

They shoot over a foot high...replaced the front sight twice and ground down the rear peep post so much that there is no adjustment left....still have a goofy looking too tall front sight and a non adjustable rear peep on a gun that still isn't sighted in correctly. Skinner has an interesting design..looks good too but the base for the rear sight is WAY too thick for the 1894c platform and what a rear peep should do.
check ebay for a peep sight.
I have a Williams Marlin FP336 set on my 1894C. The stock front sight was too low (shot high) but the Firesight that came with the Williams is just right. I did not need to use the hammer extension and, although it came close, the sight did not interfere with the hammer-block safety. I paid $60.
Sounds to me like you have a barrel/receiver issue. I don't know what you are grinding down on the rear sight but the grinding should be done on the front. I don't think going to a Brockman will help.

I have Skinner on my 1894C, and own Wild West, XS and Brockmans. I can't imagine they are superior in any way to the Skinner. Better figure out what is wrong.

Thanks for all of the replies; Of course I consulted Skinner first and got their recommendations....their recommended front sight wasn't tall enough so I went higher....it eventually got to within 3" or so from my point of aim at 50 yards, but now the sight snags badly and it is loose in the dovetail because of it. The rear Williams isn't what I am looking for either....the gun goes in a scabbard where that portion of the sight sticking out on the side of the receiver will cause me problems. I would like to go back to the original front sight or some other sight of the same profile, and I do like the winged portion of the Brockmans for durability. I just noticed the Williams WGRS in the Midway catalog......would that rear peep work on the 1894c? The catalog just lists it for "Marlin Lever Actions".

A House Works As A System by Construction Inspections
A House Works As A System by Construction Inspections
A house is a system of interdependent parts which means that the operation of one part will affect the other. When one of the house parts is not functioning properly it will affect the other parts.
Once the design decisions have been made, focus shifts to construction. There are several systems to help avoid errors and assure the desired levels of performance and workmanship are obtained. The selection of reputable companies, site supervision and appropriate testing is essential. Although fees are being paid for site inspections by local authorities if you really want to ensure that your building is meeting the minimum local building requirements you will have to hire a company for quality control.
Contractors' own site inspections are an extremely important part of the quality control process. General contractors/builders appoint site supervisors to review all the work included in the contract, to check that it has been done according to the drawings and specifications — by their own forces or by subcontractors.
Conduction is probably the best known and the easiest to understand mode of heat transfer. It occurs when a material separates an area of high temperature from an area of low temperature, such as a wall separating a warm interior from a cold exterior. Glass, concrete and all metals are good conductors.
Forced convection occurs when the movement of liquid or gas is caused by outside forces. For example, a cold wind blowing across a warm outside wall will cause heat to transfer through the wall more quickly as the heat is quickly absorbed by the passing cold air.
Sealing ducts keeps conditioned air where it belongs, reducing the need for extra heaters in rooms furthest from the heating source. Air sealing and insulating the attic prevent warm, moist air from escaping, reducing home owners heating bills and preventing ice dams and the cost of repairs.
Recessed lights are very popular, but they are usually the source of considerable heat loss or gain in a ceiling. The recessed lights when scanned with an infrared camera will show a lot of heat loss. The solution is to buy lights that allow you to cover them with insulation thus preventing heat loss.
Ice damming and roofing material damage can be caused by poor or non-existent attic ventilation. This problem can be avoided by installing attic baffles in the eaves to create a working ventilation system. Baffles also prevent wind from blowing back the insulation, which can reduce its insulating value.
Windows are a large source of heat loss or gain in a home. It is important to consider some common problems windows create and their solutions. A result of windows that perform poorly is that they make a room uncomfortably hot or cold. Windows with cold surfaces during the winter can cause condensation or even ice buildup at the bottom of the window. Finally, windows can allow furniture and other interior furnishings to be bathed in ultraviolet light, which, over time, causes them to fade.
Heating efficiency ratings are simply the percentage of consumed energy that goes up the chimney. As efficiency increases, less heat and air go up the chimney. As we increase heating appliance efficiency, we reduce draft, which in turn moves less air through the building, reducing its drying capability. The final step in efficiency improvement is a sealed combustion unit, which gets its combustion air from the outside and consequently does nothing to dry the building at all.

Construction Inspection for Your Home
Construction Inspection for Your Home . A house is a building or structure that has the ability to be occupied for dwelling by human beings or other creatures. The term house includes many kinds of dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to free standing individual structures. In some contexts, "house" may mean the same as dwelling, residence, home, abode, lodging, accommodation, or housing, among other meanings.
Most homes are structurally supported by either a slab on grade, crawlspace or full basement. Basements can be constructed of wood, poured concrete or masonry blocks. Poured concrete is becoming the norm for most housing and is far superior for cost and strength.
Most common wall framing is either balloon or platform type framing. In platform framing, the joists comprise any number of individual floors or platforms that wall framing components are constructed on top of–hence, the term platform framing. Platform framing is the most common method of frame construction. The floor, or platform, is made up of joists that sit on supporting walls, beams or girders and covered with a plywood or OSB sub-floor. In the past, 1x planks set at 45 to the joists were used for the sub-floor. Balloon framing is not permitted anymore due to lack of fire-stopping between floors.
Foundation made of concrete typically will have some cracks that are visible. Most cracks are the result of settling or shrinkage of the concrete during its curing stage. Diagonal cracks that grow in width, especially ones that are wider at the bottom than at the top, indicate settlement. Diagonal cracks over windows indicate a weak header. Diagonal cracks in a poured concrete foundation that are fairly uniform in width or are hairline-type are caused by shrinkage and, though they may allow water entry, do not constitute a structural defect. Some home inspectors think that if the crack follows the mortar joint, rather than going through the brick or block, the crack isn't a problem. This is false. Walls crack at their weakest point. If the mortar is stronger than the brick, the wall will crack through the brick
The structural support of a roof is typically provided by either stick built rafters or engineered trusses. Collar tie is a colloquial phrase that you usually won't find in construction or engineering documentation even though the words are commonly used among builders, architects and homeowners. The correct phrase as used in textbooks and when specified is collar beam. Collar beams are usually installed in the upper third of the roof between opposing rafters.
Having your home inspected prior to purchasing is one of the most important items of the transaction. You want to protect yourself from shoddy workmanship or major problems with your homes systems. A house is comprised of many different products installed by various tradesmen and sometimes do-it-yourself type renovators. To ensure Peace of Mind in your next Real Estate transaction use the Barrie Home Inspector for your protection and Peace of Mind.

Speed dating... for winemakers
By Leslie Gevirtz
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - There was the promise of passion, finesse, elegance - and that was just the wine.
"What do you want to try first?" asked Pierre-Jean Sauvion at a speed-dating French winemakers' event.
In a tone that was almost as seductive and playful as his Muscadet, Sauvion, 31, declared, "I am a pleasure maker. I don't make blends. I make marriage. I'm a winemaker from the Loire."
Like speed-dating French winemakers were given 30 minutes to promote themselves. But instead of assessing a potential life partner, the winemakers tried to impress some of the top U.S. wine writers with their latest vintages at a French restaurant.
Sauvion, the manager and chief winemaker at his family's vineyards, compared his job to that of a chef.
"I'm like that. I choose the grapes I want, the methods that I use, to make the wines that I want. And I want my wines to give pleasure to everyone who drinks them," he said.
He offered his Sauvion Muscadet Sevre et Maine 2007 explaining that when he made this wine of Melon de Bourgogne grapes, he had in mind two people sitting on a terrace on a sunny afternoon.
"This wine is perfect for that. It is round, but not huge and it is fresh and fruity and I make this wine because I want to introduce myself. To get the conversation going," Sauvion said. Continued...
