(g) "Lawyer" does not include a person who, at the time the acts or omissions constituting the theft occurred, is either disbarred or suspended from the practice of law.
Part 200 - Fund Organization and Administration
200.01 Waiver. Except as limited by section 500.04, the Committee may waive all or any portion of a regulation to pay a claim, if, in its discretion, justice so requires. The Committee may not waive any portion of Rule 55 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire.
200.02 Term of Members. The terms of the initial nine members of the Committee shall be staggered, with three members serving for one year, three members serving for two years and three members serving for three years. Thereafter the members of the Committee shall be appointed for terms of three years. Each member shall serve for the term and until that members successor is appointed and qualified. Vacancies shall be filled by the appointing authority for the unexpired portion of the term.
200.03 Chair. Annually, the President of the New Hampshire Bar Association, with the consent of the Board of Governors, shall designate one member of the Committee to serve as the Chair of the Committee, for a one year term, and until that Chairs successor is designated. No Chair shall serve longer than that persons service as a member of the Committee.
200.04 Investment Policy. The Funds assets shall be invested only in such instruments and securities as will permit $1,000,000 of those assets to be converted to cash on May 31 of each fund year in order to pay allowed claims. Subject to that requirement, the first $2,000,000 of the Funds assets shall be invested only in interest-bearing short-term, low risk securities that pay a fixed rate of return. The Funds assets shall be deposited only in accounts federally insured in amounts sufficient to protect the full amount of the deposits from theft or dissolution by the depository. The Funds assets in excess of $2,000,000 may be invested as the Committee deems reasonable and prudent in instruments and securities that vary from the above restrictions. In the investment of the amounts in excess of $2,000,000, the Committee shall: (a) exercise the judgment and care under the circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence, acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters, would use in the conduct of a fund of like character and with like aims as the Fund, and (b) diversify investments of the Fund so as to minimize the risk of large losses.
Part 300 - Application Requirements
300.01 Fees For Representing Claimants. The Committee encourages attorneys or other persons representing parties to waive their fees.
300.02 Claim Form. A claim is commenced only when a written claim, on the form attached to these regulations as Exhibit A, is completed and filed with the Committee within the time prescribed by Rule 55 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire.
300.03 Other Sources of Reimbursement. A claimant shall file a claim form within the three year limitation period, even though the claimant has not then exhausted all other sources of reimbursement for the loss giving rise to the claim.
300.04 Abandonment of Claim. After filing, the Committee may request more information from the claimant. If the Committee requests further information from the claimant, and the claimant fails to respond to the Committee in writing within 45 days of the date of Committees request for further information, the claim shall be deemed to be abandoned by the claimant. Once the claim has been abandoned, if the claimant wishes to pursue the matter further, the claimant must complete and file a new claim form. In that circumstance, the date of commencement of the claim shall be the date the NEW claim form is filed with the Committee.
300.05 Response by Accused. Unless the Committee rejects the claim for lack of jurisdiction, the Committee shall send the Accused a copy of the claimants claim form with all attachments, at the Accuseds last known address in the membership records of the New Hampshire Bar Association. The Accused shall be notified that the Accused has 30 days from the date of the Committees notice to file with the Committee a written objection to the claim, under oath. At the discretion of the Committee, and for good cause shown, this provision may be waived. If the Accused fails timely to file such an objection, the Accused shall be deemed to have waived any objection to the claim, shall have no right to participate in any further proceeding concerning the claim and will not be given any further notice.
Part 400 - Eligibility Requirements
400.01 Persons Ineligible. Without causing any other person to be deemed eligible by negative implication, all of the following persons shall be ineligible for any award from the Fund:
(a) Any present or former spouse, descendant, ancestor, sibling, uncle, aunt, niece or nephew of the Accused, or the spouse of any of them.
(b) Any present or former partner, associate (but not employee), co-shareholder, co-member or employer of the Accused, or the spouse of any of them.
(c) Any entity presently or formerly controlled by the Accused or any person listed in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section 400.01.
(d) Any present or former affiliate of the employer of the Accused or of an entity listed in paragraph (c) of this section 400.01.
(e) Any governmental entity, federal, state, county or municipal.
(f) Any insurer, surety, bondsman, or any company or other entity serving that function.
400.02 Exhaustion of Recovery. A claimant must exhaust all other sources of reimbursement for the loss giving rise to the claim before the claimant is eligible for reimbursement from the Fund.
(a) A claimant has not exhausted other sources unless the claimant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Committee that the claimant has made reasonable efforts to collect from the assets, insurance and sureties of the Accused and the Accuseds firm and from third parties who may be liable to the claimant (including, but not limited to, banks). Among other ways, a reasonable effort can be demonstrated if the claimant, after attempting to so, is unable to retain an attorney on a contingent fee basis to represent the claimant on claims against such Accused, firm, insurance company, surety company and third parties.
(b) If, at the time prescribed for the payment by the Fund of claims against a given Accused, a claimant against that Accused has not exhausted other sources of recovery, the following actions will be taken:
(1) All of the claims of claimants against that Accused who are otherwise eligible will be totaled.
(2) All caps and other limitations will be applied to those claims.
(3) The resulting total will be fixed, and monies allocated in the Fund in that total amount.
(4) From that allocation all claimants who have exhausted other sources of recovery will be paid their pro-rata share of the allocation.
(5) The balance of the allocation will be held in reserve for the claimants who have not yet exhausted other sources of recovery.
(6) As each claimant exhausts other sources of recovery, such claimant will be paid such claimants pro-rata share of the allocation.
(7) When all claimants against that Accused have exhausted other sources of recovery, or the time within which that may be accomplished has expired, whichever occurs first, the undistributed balance of the allocation will be distributed pro-rata to all claimants who have exhausted other sources of recovery, taking into account the earlier distribution(s) to those claimants.
As used in this paragraph (b), the time within which the exhaustion of other sources of recovery may be accomplished expires at the later of:
(i) the latest of the limitation periods within which a suit may be commenced against all other sources of recovery has expired without the commencement of such a suit; or
(ii) all suits against other sources of recovery commenced within that limitation period have been terminated by settlement or final judgment.
400.03 Other Funds. When determining a claimant's loss, recoveries awarded to, or received by, the claimant from the public protection fund(s) of other states or provinces (by whatever name it is known and in whatever form it may take and from whatever source it may arise) shall reduce the claimant's claim against the Fund, dollar for dollar.
400.04 Investment Losses. The loss of monies or other things of value placed with an Accused for investment will not be reimbursed, even if all other requirements of the Fund are met, unless, in addition to all other requirements for reimbursement:
(a) the Accused had possession of the money or thing of value while an attorney for the claimant; and
(b) at the suggestion of the Accused, the Accused retained the money or thing of value to invest it; and
(c) there is a subsequent loss by theft.
To qualify as being "an attorney for the claimant" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this section 400.04, the claimants retention of the Accused must have been for purposes other than investment.
400.05 Unearned Fee. The mere failure of a lawyer to return to a client monies lawfully paid to the lawyer as a fee shall not constitute a theft within the meaning of Rule 55 unless the lawyer has:
(a) performed no work on behalf of the client, and
(b) taken no action on behalf of the client, and
(c) obtained no result for the client.
The mere existence of all three of the foregoing factors shall not cause such failure to constitute a theft within the meaning of Rule 55.
400.06 Contributory Conduct. Reimbursement for the loss of monies or other things of value shall be reduced or eliminated entirely, even if all other requirements of the Fund are met, to the extent the conduct of the claimant contributed to such loss.
Part 500 - Hearing Procedures
500.01 Computation of Time; Filing.
(a) Unless otherwise specified, all time periods referenced in these regulations shall be calendar days.
(b) Computation of any period of time referred to in these regulations shall begin with the day after the action which sets the time period in motion, and shall include the last day of the period so computed.
(c) If the last day of the period so computed falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then the time period shall be extended to include the first business day following the Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
(d) As used in these regulations, a document is "filed" only when it is received by the New Hampshire Bar Association.
500.02 Presiding Officer; Appointment; Authority. All hearings shall be conducted by the Committee with at least a quorum of the Committee present. The Chair shall act as the presiding officer subject to the control of the Committee. If the Chair is unavailable, the quorum shall appoint one of them as the presiding officer. A presiding officer shall as necessary:
(a) regulate and control the course of a hearing;
(b) administer oaths and affirmations;
(c) receive relevant evidence at hearings and exclude irrelevant, immaterial or unduly repetitious evidence; and
(d) rule on procedural requests, including adjournments or postponements, at the request of a party or on the presiding officers own initiative.
Any member of the Committee may ask questions of any person who testifies.
500.03 Withdrawal of Committee Members. Upon his or her own initiative or upon the motion of any party, any Committee member shall, for good cause, withdraw from any hearing. Good cause shall exist if a Committee member has:
(a) a direct interest in the outcome of the proceeding, including, but not limited to, a financial or familial relationship (within the third degree of relationship) with any party; or
(b) made statements or engaged in behavior which objectively indicates that he or she had prejudged the facts of the case; or
(c) personally believes he or she cannot fairly judge the facts of the case.
The obligation of the attorney members of the Committee to contribute to the Fund shall not be deemed good cause. Previous acquaintance with the issues, the parties or a witness shall not constitute good cause for withdrawal.
500.04 Waiver or Suspension of Regulations. The Committee, upon its own initiative or upon the motion of any party, may suspend or waive any requirement or limitation imposed by this Part 500, in its discretion, when the proposed waiver or suspension appears to be lawful, and would be more likely to promote the fair, accurate and efficient resolution of issues pending before the Committee than would adherence to these regulations. The provisions of Rule 55 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire may not be waived by the Committee.
500.05 Availability of Hearing. A contested hearing on the merits shall be held on the Committees own initiative or upon the request of the claimant or of the Accused (if the Accused is a party). However, hearings in uncontested cases will be held only at the Committees discretion. Hearings on matters that do not involve the merits of the claim will be held only at the Committees discretion.
500.06 Commencement of Hearing. A hearing on the merits shall be commenced by a notice from the Committee to the parties of the date of any scheduled hearing.
500.07 Notice of Hearing. The notice of a hearing on the merits shall be issued by the Committee no less that fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled hearing. The notice shall contain the information stated below:
(a) a statement of the time, place and nature of any hearing;
(b) a statement of the legal authority under which a hearing is to be held;
(c) a statement of the claimants name and the name of the Accused;
(d) a statement that each party has the right to have an attorney or person of good character present to represent the party at the partys expense.
A copy of the notice shall be sent by certified mail and regular first class mail to the claimant at the address indicated in the claimants claim form and to the Accused, if a party, at the last address on file with the Committee.
500.08 Postponements. Postponements are disfavored. If a postponement is requested by a party to the hearing, it shall not be granted unless the Committee determines that good cause has been demonstrated. Good cause may include the unavailability of the claimant or witnesses or attorneys necessary to conduct the hearing. The Chair shall issue a new hearing notice stating the date, time and place of the postponed hearing as soon as practicable. In such a case, fourteen days advance notice of the new hearing date is not required.
500.09 Failure to Attend Hearing. If any party to whom notice has been given in accordance with section 500.07 fails to attend a hearing, the Committee may decide the claim on the basis of the information before it; or reschedule the hearing; or deny the claim; or take any other action the Committee deems appropriate.
500.10 Disclosure of Witnesses and Exhibits. At least 5 days before the hearing on the merits in contested cases the parties shall exchange a list of all witnesses to be called at the hearing, with a brief summary of their testimony, a list of all documents or exhibits to be offered as evidence at the hearing and a copy of each such document or exhibit. At the same time, the parties shall file such lists, summaries and exhibits with the Committee.
500.11 Confidentiality. Upon request of the claimant only, the Committee shall close the hearing on the merits to the public, and the Accuseds objection to the claim and all evidence submitted at the hearing shall be confidential. However, the claimants claim form shall always be available to the public, as well as the Committees decision on the merits. This regulation shall not be interpreted to deny access to relevant information by professional discipline agencies or law enforcement authorities as the Committee shall authorize, or the release of statistical information which does not disclose the identity of the Accused or the parties.
500.12 Record of the Hearing. Upon request of a party, a record of the hearing shall be kept by tape recording or other method that will provide a verbatim record. The Committee shall determine the method of recording. If any party requests a copy of the record, the Committee shall cause a copy of the record to be prepared upon payment of the fully distributed cost of the recording.
500.13 Standard and Burden of Proof. The claimant shall bear the burden of proving each element of the claim, including the amount of the claimants loss, by a preponderance of the evidence.
500.14 Testimony; Order of Proceeding. Any person offering testimony, shall first swear or affirm that the testimony shall be true and shall state for the record his or her name, and role in the proceeding. If the person is representing another person, the person being represented shall also be identified. Testimony shall be offered in the following order:
(a) the claimant and such witnesses as the claimant may call;
(b) the Accused, if a party, and such witnesses as the Accused may call.
500.15 Evidence. The New Hampshire Rules of Evidence shall not apply. All testimony, documents, materials and objects offered as evidence shall be admitted into evidence unless excluded by the presiding officer as irrelevant, immaterial, unduly repetitious or legally privileged. All objections to the admissibility of evidence shall be stated no later than the time when the evidence is offered, or the objection will be deemed waived .
500.16 Closing the Record. After conclusion of the hearing, the record shall be closed and no other evidence shall be received into the record, except as allowed by this section and section 500.17. Before the conclusion of the hearing, a party may request that the record be left open to allow the filing of specified evidence not available at the hearing. If the Committee determines that such evidence is presently unavailable and is necessary for a full consideration of the issues raised at the hearing, the Committee may keep the record open for the period of time necessary for the party to file the evidence. Unless the Committee specifies a different time limit, such additional evidence shall be filed no later than 15 days after the conclusion of the hearing.
500.17 Reopening the Record. At any time prior to the issuance of the decision on the merits, the Committee, on the Committees own initiative or on the motion of any party, may reopen the record to receive relevant, material and non-duplicative testimony or other evidence not previously received and unavailable at the time of the hearing, if the Committee determines that such testimony or other evidence are necessary to a full and fair consideration of the issues to be decided.
500.18 Decision on the Merits. A Committee member shall not participate in making a decision on the merits of a contested claim without having personally heard the testimony in the case, unless the matters disposition does not depend on the credibility of any witness and the record provides a reasonable basis for evaluating the testimony. The Committees decision on the merits shall be in writing and shall contain a statement of the reason(s) for the claims approval or denial.
Part 600 - Appeals
600.01 Appeals. Appeals of the Committees decision on the merits must be filed with the Supreme Court of New Hampshire not later than thirty (30) days from the date of the Committees notice of decision. Such appeals shall be governed by Rule 10 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, except that: (a) no motion for rehearing or reconsideration shall be required or permitted, and (b) such appeals shall be heard finally by the panel prescribed by Rule 55(5). If an appeal is filed, no payment shall be made to the Claimant until the final order on appeal.
Part 700 - Subrogation Requirements
700.01 Action by the Fund. After the payment of a claim, the Fund may bring such actions against the Accused and other persons who may be liable for the claimants loss as the Fund deems advisable for any theory of recovery, plus the costs of such action, including attorney fees. All actions shall be under the control of the Fund which may prosecute, fail to prosecute, compromise, settle or abandon any such action as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion and without the necessity of the consent or approval of the claimant. All sums recovered shall be paid first to the Fund up to the amount of the reimbursement plus the entirety of any expenses and costs, including attorney fees, incurred by the Fund in such action.
700.02 Transfer of Claimant's Rights. As a condition precedent to reimbursement, a claimant shall be required to execute and deliver to the Fund a subrogation agreement in the form prescribed by the Fund in its reasonable discretion. At a minimum, the agreement shall transfer to the Fund, to the extent of the reimbursement, all of the claimant's claims and demands against, and rights to sue, the Accused or third parties or entities who may be liable on account of the dishonest acts, and losses with respect thereto, described in the claim application.
700.03 Joinder of Claimant. Upon commencement of an action by the Fund as subrogee, the Fund shall advise the claimant, who may then join in such action to recover the claimant's unreimbursed losses. Even so, all sums recovered shall be paid first to the Fund up to the amount of the reimbursement plus the entirety of any expenses and costs, including legal fees, incurred by the Fund in such action.
700.04 Cooperation by Claimant. The claimant shall cooperate in all efforts undertaken by the Fund as subrogee.
Part 800 - Reinstatement Requirements
800.01 Reimbursement by Accused. If an Accused seeks reinstatement to the New Hampshire Bar, the Accused must reimburse the Fund in full as a condition of reinstatement.

Deerfield police say woman fired gun as officer was arresting companion
December 19. 2012 6:48AM
DEERFIELD - Shots were fired early Wednesday morning as a police officer was arresting a man after responding to a 911 hangup call on Old Center Road.
Officer Roger St. Onge suffered minor injuries, what police described as bumps and bruises, in the incident. He was treated at a local hospital and then released.
The incident began about 12:30 a.m. when police received a 911 hangup call from the residence. Police said St. Onge was at the front door reaching for the door handle when he was rushed and tackled by Stanley West, 40, who punched him several times in the face and head, according to a news release.
As the two men struggled, police said Jane Schultz, 44, shot off two rounds from a handgun. St. Onge managed to handcuff West and then drew his gun on Schultz, 44, who dropped hers. He then arrested her without further incident.
Schultz is charged with felony reckless conduct, while West is facing four counts of simple assault, one count of resisting arrest and one count of disorderly conduct.
Both were taken to the Rockingham County jail and will be arraigned later Wednesday in 10th Circuit Court, Candia District Division.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
In this stock screen, we set out to find equities that have underperformed the broader market averages by a wide margin over the past three months, yet still command relatively high valuations and have shown solid revenue growth of late. In order to identify stocks that once had sky-high valuations but have since come back down to earth to a degree, we screened The Value Line Investment Survey for equities that have delivered a -10% total return over the past three months, which compares to a 1% loss recorded by the S&P 500 Index over that same time frame. Next, we made sure that sales had increased by more than 20% in the past year and the forward price-to-earnings multiple was above 25. The resulting list of seven stocks can be seen below. Of these, we have chosen to highlight Lumber Liquidators (LL).
Lumber Liquidators is one of the largest retailers of hardwood flooring in North America. It operates around 300 retail stores throughout the United States, each averaging around 6,500 square feet. It boasts a differentiated product offering that includes foreign and domestic hardwood species, engineered hardwoods, laminates, bamboo, and cork products. Its primary customers include homeowners or contractors acting on behalf of homeowners.The company is known for having relatively low prices, thanks to its ability to source directly from more than 100 vendors (primarily sawmills). Lumber Liquidators is the largest customer for many of its supply chain partners, thanks largely to its ability to cultivate strong, long-lasting relationships. This allows it to attain better prices than many of its larger rivals, which primarily consist of The Home Depot (HD - Free Home Depot Stock Report), and Lowe's, Inc. (LOW). Together, these two chains command around 30% of the U.S. hardwood flooring market, compared to around 10% for LL. In 2012, approximately 43% of Lumber's products were sourced from Asia, 50% came from North America, 6% from South America, and 1% from other locations.
Since its initial public offering in November of 2007, the stock price has risen a whopping 953%. Over the past two years, Lumber shares have advanced 429%, and they now trade at 30.7 times Value Line's forward earnings estimate. The company's high valuation remains despite the fact that the shares have fallen nearly 20% in the prior three month period.
Indeed, Lumber Liquidators saw a sharp stock-price selloff after its third-quarter year-over-year revenue growth of 24.5%, and 59% bottom line advance fell short of Wall Street's lofty expectations. The company continues to report successes with its new store openings and supply chain optimization efforts. These activities will likely accelerate throughout 2014, as the company looks for additional ways to extend its strong growth rate of recent years.
Lumber Liquidators is also dealing with negative sentiment surrounding legal issues. LL faces accusations regarding improper sourcing of wood from protected forests, and the presence of harmful chemicals in its flooring products. Management maintains that it is complying with regulations, but this may well end up hurting margins over the long run.
Although the recent bout of profit taking has made the stock's valuation somewhat more attractive by recent standards, value investors will still want to tread carefully. That said, the company still looks like it will be able to post strong year-over-year gains well into the 3- to 5-year horizon. LL expects that 30-40 new stores will be opened in 2014 alone, and has repeatedly emphasized the diversity of its direct providers and product assortment. If things proceed relatively smoothly, then this recent pullback will likely only be a temporary pit stop as the stock heads towards healthy long-term growth.

Why Does Christianity Flourish?
This is an exercise in understanding why Christianity has staying power and why it flourishes. This assumes the Christian faith is a delusion, something Christians will deny, of course. But why does Christianity flourish? Why does it seem to continue on even after some major moral setbacks (witch burnings, Crusades, pastor molesters, and the changing moral scene), along with the major intellectual crises since the Enlightenment? Given the rise of science and our new moral awareness it should've been sent into the backwoods long ago. [Valerie Tarico has prompted me with this question and I've encouraged her to post her interesting proposal]. Let me suggest it's because of several factors. I suspect the biggest reasons Christianity flourishes is because 1) People feel a need to be comforted by the concept of a heavenly daddy, 2) Christians think that without God there is no moral compass, and the fact that 3) Christianity has the most wonderful mythical religious story of all...that God loved us so much he came to earth to save us (never mind the horrors found within the Bible itself). What d'ya think?
As a follow up to this post I ask another question.

I've always wanted to be an inventor. I've got dozens of ideas scribbled down and filed away. Every now and then one of "my" inventions actually appears in a store, and I kick myself that I didn't actually pursue it. Argh!
If I could be an inventor and impress my 6-year-old daughter, now that would be the ultimate. And it's exactly what a few moms and dads around the country have done. Since I haven't gotten my act together to be an inventor, let me tell you about some people who have.
|Helen Bertelli, Inventor, CluedInKids.com
Helen invented treasure hunts for kids with premade clues that teach math, reading, logic and more. "Life is short, and you must do what you love," Helen said. "I started a business creating treasure hunts that inspire kids to learn, laugh and move in real space, not languish in front of a screen." When the kids solve a clue, it leads them to another and another until they reach the treasure at the end. What I love is that it takes parents only about five minutes to hide all the clues but it takes kids an hour or two to solve them. That keeps them engaged and active and, when necessary, out of your hair!
|Gregg Murset, Inventor, MyJobChart.com
Gregg Murset invented a free, online chore chart for kids. Parents post their kids' chores, and when the kids do them they earn points. The parents can then convert those points into cash by depositing money into a savings account linked to the site. Once children have saved up enough money, MyJobChart links them to retail and charity sites, where they can spend or donate their money. Murset is a dad and a certified financial planner, so the way I see it, he's got two potential benefits here. His site is helping his own kids to become hard workers, and it can help all kids to become the sort of savvy savers who might actually have enough of a nest egg to need some financial planning some day.
|Jennifer Tyler Lee, Inventor, CrunchAColor.com
This mom faced an almost universal problem: kids who only eat beige food. For her kids, the obsession was noodles. For mine, it's cereal. So Jennifer Tyler Lee invented a dinnertime game called "Crunch a Color" in which kids earn points for eating different colors of fruits and vegetables. A plain potato might be worth only five points, but a sweet potato snags 15 and so on. Trying a new food automatically doubles your points value, so suddenly kids have a new motivation to at least taste foods before declaring they hate them. Children can also earn points for such things as using nice manners and setting the table, so my daughter has a fighting chance to score points some way somehow.

New Session of Congress
The new session of congress convenes today. There will be dozens of first time representatives, but once they get down to business, the same divisive issues remain, including reducing the deficit and what to do about the borrowing limit. The outgoing speaker of the house took a lot of criticism yesterday for not voting on government help for the victims of Superstorm Sandy, so he changed his mind and the new congress will vote on that tomorrow.

Save on flat or pitched garage roof repairs quickly
Concerned about the state of your garage roof? Worried that a leaking garage roof might cause damage to the interior including your motor vehicles? Garage roof repair Tandridge provides expedient and affordable roof repair services for all types of roofing. Need to save your vintage car from a leaking roof but not sure how to go about it? We can help you find the best garage roof repair services at the lowest prices.
Providing garage roof quotes to Tandridge residents since 2010!
No job is too big or too small for the Tandridge specialists on our network. Regardless of the roofing material, style or size, garage roofs require regular maintenance. Any faults in the roofing, even if they don't look severe, could result in serious structural and interior damage. Don't leave a dilapidated roof untreated, as ignoring roof damage could result in expensive replacement instead of more affordable repairs.
Owing to the fact that garages are used to store vehicles, tools and other accessories, many Surrey homeowners fall into the habit of neglecting them to the point where the roof leaks badly or even ends up on the verge of collapsing before any action is taken. However, what they often don't realise is that, should the roof collapse and land on their vehicle, a substantial amount of damage will be done.
It is recommended that you inspect your Tandridge garage roof once a year or after any severe weather has occurred. This will ensure that it does its job of protecting your vehicle and any other expensive items that may be stored in it.
Flat roofs are susceptible to leaks due to rain water settlement if the drainage outlets are inadequate. Badly installed flashings may also cause problems. Regular maintenance is essential, especially if the roof is exposed to intense sunlight or extreme cold. Avoid walking on a flat garage roof to prevent punctures from shoes, as this may result in leaks. Rather pay now for repairs than risk needing a replacement.
Asphalt is a popular coating for Tandridge garage roofs particularly if flat, as asphalt is generally quite resistant to wear and tear. Asphalt roofs do, however, require some amount of maintenance and may be susceptible to weather damage particularly extreme temperature changes. To protect your valuables from potential leaks, asphalt roofing must be of an adequate thickness and should only be laid by professionals. Laying asphalt can be difficult, and should therefore only be done by those qualified to do it.
Thatched garage roofs are less common, but Tandridge garage roof professionals are still more than able to handle thatching. Thatched roofs can be damaged by rodents, birds, and severe weather. Birds tend to cause the most damage, stripping out entire sections of thatching for nest building. These holes will need to be regularly repaired in order to prevent leaks. Storms may cause damage to the ridge, which should be corrected immediately to prevent the need for an entire re-thatching.
Metal roofing is a popular choice for many garages. Metal such as stainless steel, copper, zinc, aluminium and lead sheeting are considered durable, resistant to weather damage and ageing. Although metal garage roofs are less susceptible to damage, regular checks are still strongly suggested as thermal movement can occur. This movement can damage metal sheeting and flashing, which will require leadwork repairs.
Attached garages can sometimes entail a bit more work than their unattached counterparts, and this is especially true if your attached garage has extensive wiring and HVAC connectivity. For example, whereas an attached garage is typically connected to the same electrical circuits and HVAC system as the main house, an unattached garage is not. This means that a leak can cause far more damage in an attached garage in these cases. When asking for a quote, try to be as specific as possible for the best accuracy.
Very quick response to my enquiry - within minutes actually! I couldn't ask for better service than that. I would be glad to recommend to anyone. Mr W. Tandridge, Surrey
The labour, materials, and overall cost of your garage roof repair will ultimately be determined by the slope of your roof. For example, if you have a sloped, shingled garage roof, the repairs are likely to take longer and be more expensive. Conversely, if you have a flat roof, repairs can range from simple to complex. Patching a flat roof is simple enough, and this is the most common repair.
Deciding whether to repair or replace a garage roof can be difficult. Consider all the following before you pay for a costly repair:
Why spend back breaking hours at the top of a ladder attempting to fix a damaged roof when the roof repair specialists are standing by? Shoddy repairs could end up costing you more in the long run, and could even result in a complete roof replacement, not to mention exorbitant medical bills should you fall off the roof! Paying for professional garage roof repair could end up saving you money in the long run.
This will depend on a number of factors, including the age and extent of damage. The experts can advise on the best and cheapest possible solution.
This is not recommended, as repairs that are not made properly could be ineffective, and may actually cause the condition of your roof to deteriorate. Not to mention the fact that working at height can be dangerous.
Most garages have flat roofs and flat roof repairs can be slightly more expensive than standard roof repairs. Depending on the amount of damage and the state of the roof, these repairs can cost from £250-£490.
A regular roofer can and will repair a garage roof. They are well versed in the repair and replacement of all types of roofs so there is no need for specialisations within the roofing field.
Any type of roof can actually be used on a garage. Most people choose the same material for both their garage and house to ensure continuity, making asphalt shingles the top choice among homeowners.
This depends on the type of roof on your garage. Most are flat roofs, which can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years or more depending on the materials used and the quality of the installation.
Many people store more than just cars in their garages, so damage to the garage roof can result in damage to anything stored in the building. As such, homeowners often ask whether roofing contractors work to repair garage roofs on an emergency basis. This depends primarily on the company, so when you fill out the form for a quote, be sure to mention that you need emergency repairs. You'll be contacted by the companies that can provide those repairs.
A tarp may help to prevent further water damage to your garage roof, but it's vital that you exercise extreme caution when applying a tarp. Remember that this isn't a permanent fix, but rather a way to simply prevent damage while you wait for a professional repair. Never attempt to tarp your garage roof in inclement weather, and if you do not feel comfortable, be sure to call a professional. Placing a tarp can be dangerous.
The amount of time to inspect a garage roof will vary depending on its size and the type of material it has been constructed from. It can vary from a few minutes to more than an hour if the roof is excessively large.
This is not normally recommended, as homeowners or tenants often don't know what to look for with regards to repair and maintenance work. There is also the risk of being seriously injured if you fall off the roof or ladder.
Repairs will be carried out according to the type of roofing material that has been used and the type of damage that has occurred to it. For example, different repair methods will be used on an asphalt roof compared to those used on a slate roof.
Don't let a dilapidated garage roof put your valuables at risk. Don't let a damaged garage roof bring down the value of your home. Take a minute to fill in our online form with a few details about your problem and we'll take care of the rest.

This is what the Kos-sacks have left. They were enraged by the "stolen election" of 2000. Many of 'em opposed war in Afghanistan. Lost. They campaigned hard for the Democrats in 2002. Lost. Opposed war in Iraq. That happened anyway. They hoped for a quagmire. The statue came down in three weeks. They celebrated the hard times in Iraq. But they didn't last forever. They bet all their chips and threw every last bit of effort into The Most Important Election of Our Lifetimes (TM)…and lost. And lost pretty resoundingly — the Left had to resort to hyping and celebrating Obama's victory over Unmedicated Alan Keyes.
And now they see Iraqis happily voting.
Their entire worldview has collapsed. They've been left with nothing. No sign that the House or Senate will get any closer anytime soon. They've been shown evidence that they don't have a majority of the American people; the great revolution just isn't going to happen. And so they're bitter. All they've got is hate.
And they're looking for somebody to hit. Larry Summers is one. Susan Estrich's explosion at Mike Kinsley is another example of this phenomenon. Jeff Gannon.
But this is what they've got…
Well, there does seem to be a pattern here. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute's City Journal shines a spotlight on one frenzy referred to in the message above: "Feminists get hysterical."

Paralympians make their first wheelchair ascent of Mount Washington Auto RoadJOHN KOZIOL
Union Leader Correspondent
August 03. 2014 9:18PM
GREEN'S GRANT — On Sunday morning, two paralympian skiers, including Franconia's Tyler Walker, made unassisted wheelchair ascents of the Northeast's highest mountain, joining a select few who have made such a trek up the Mount Washington Auto Road.
Starting a little after 3:30 a.m., Walker — a graduate of Profile High School and the University of New Hampshire who earlier this year became the first American man to win the International Paralympic Committee's Overall Alpine World Cup Championship in sit skiing — began heading up the 7.4-mile Auto Road.
Walker was joined by Laurie Stephens of Wenham, Mass., a multiple IPC world sit-ski champion as well as the winner of six Paralympics medals: two golds, two silvers and two bronzes, winning the most recent pair in March at the Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.
Despite several stops along the way, Walker crossed the finish of the Auto Road just below the summit of the 6,288-foot tall Mount Washington with a time of 6 hours, 45 minutes, and 57 seconds. Stephens followed exactly one minute later.
"It feels great to be done with it," said Walker, adding that while the conditions for the ascent were perfect — not too warm, not too cold and with no rain — the effort was a seriously taxing one. Born with lumbar sacral agenesis, a condition that left him without a spine below the first vertebra, Walker observed that the Auto Road is one, continual challenge.
As to a flat spot anywhere on the Auto Road, "It doesn't exist," joked Walker, "It's just up all the way."
Stephens, whose ascent coincided with her first visit to the Auto Road, said it was "pretty cool." Asked whether she'll come back for the 2015 Sunrise Ascent, Stephens said if Walker does, "I'll probably do it, too."
The two were colleagues on the New England Disabled Ski Team at Loon Mountain, where their coach was Bethlehem's Chris Devlin-Young. Stephens, who has spina bifida, recalled being asked by Devlin-Young's wife Donna — a director of Franconia-based Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country — whether she'd consider participating in an ASPNC fundraiser: the annual Sunrise Ascent of the Auto Road.
Stephens said she'd do the event, if Walker did. While Walker agreed to be in the inaugural "Elite Athlete" endurance challenge, he changed the mode of travel from hand-powered bicycles to wheelchairs.
Stephens said the Auto Road had her scratching her head several times on Sunday, including on the final, quarter-mile push to the summit where she and Walker stopped, looked at the steep incline, and she thought to herself, "Wow ... really?"
The pause was a brief one; Walker broke for the top with Stephens in pursuit.
Devlin-Young, who was disabled in a plane crash while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, has gone on to be one of the winning-est sit-skiers in the sport.
Like Walker, he is nursing some injuries he brought back from Sochi. He said Sunday he was "monumentally proud" of both Stephens and Walker.
He also admitted to being jealous; "I wish I could have done this," said Devlin-Young. He called the Sunrise Ascent "the ultimate endurance event for people with disabilities because this is all uphill. There's no relaxing here."
The inspiration
Devlin-Young — a co-grand marshal of the Sunrise Ascent with Stephanie Jallen, who at Sochi won bronze medals in the Super G and Super Combined events — said he was also proud of ASPNC which "makes no distinction and doesn't draw the line with athletes. If you're willing to try, they're willing to try it with you."
ASPNC, Devlin-Young noted, even works with athletes who are on respirators, including Martin Willem of Epping, who was the inspiration for the Sunrise Ascent.
A husband, father and a former landscaper, Willem contracted amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), about a decade ago, said Sandy Olney of Easton, who is the ASPNC's executive director, and who has known him for eight years.
Willem is now on life support and the disease has robbed him of many things, but he still responds enthusiastically to the call of the wild, said Olney.
"He can blink his eyes and grind his teeth, but inside he's all there and he's an avid outdoorsman and he's a thrill-seeker," Olney said, adding "that for him the opportunity to get outside is few and far in between." In the past, Willem has gone hiking, snowshoeing and alpine skiing with the ASPNC.
The "least abled" of the six athletes with disabilities who were assisted by teams during Sunday's ascent – the other athletes were Bella Hibberd of Bethlehem, Chester Eastwood from Conway, Concord's Abby Duffy, Jeff Cleveland from Lyndonville, Vt., and Marsha Gray from St. Johnsbury — Willem and persons like him are the raison d'être for the ASPNC, Olney said.
"One of the core concepts of our organizations is that people of any ability should be able to participate in as many recreational opportunities as possible. Five years ago, Martin had this dream to summit Mount Washington again and this is how it (the Sunrise Ascent) came to be."
$67,000 raised
The Mount Washington Auto Road and Howie Wemyss, its general manager, "jumped on board" immediately, Olney said. In its first year, "There were just 18 of us who went up to the summit with Martin and each year it's grown and with the addition of the endurance challenge for elite athletes, it brings a whole new dimension to the event."
Sunday's ascent, which raised $67,000 for ASPNC programs, represented a successful mix of people united for a common goal, Olney pointed out, "because you have people with disabilities with the most ability (Walker and Stephens) and people with disabilities with the least ability all working together to conquer a mountain." Fittingly, the latter group went up the Auto Road and summited first.
Olney thanked the Bank of New Hampshire for sponsoring the 2014 Sunrise Ascent and the Mount Washington Auto Road "who have always supported us and made it so easy for us to grow this event."
The ASPNC is already looking forward to 2015. Olney said she expects the endurance challenge to attract more entrants, now that Stephens and Tyler have shown how it's done.
"Tyler and Laurie set the bar," said Olney, "So now there's a time to beat."

Amateur astronomers call it the Penguin, and no wonder. Even through a good-size backyard telescope, that's exactly what seems to be out there, hanging in distant space 326 million light years from Earth. With the clear-eyed vision of the Hubble Space Telescope, the resemblance is even more striking: it's as though some cosmic artist has captured a bright-eyed, sharp-beaked bird leaning protectively over a reddish egg, with two stars — one shooting — in the skies above.
Both bird and egg are fully certified galaxies, though, lying in the constellation Hydra. The bird is a spiral galaxy, officially known as NGC 2936, and it would normally look like the Milky Way — a great, majestically spinning pinwheel made up of hundreds of billions of stars.
But the egg has changed all that. It's a blob-shaped elliptical galaxy, NGC 2937, and its gravity has pulled and elongated the spiral, stretching one side into a sharp, beak-shaped projection and smearing the other side into the penguin's body. (The reddish streaks are clouds of interstellar dust that formerly permeated the galaxy's spiral arms). The two bright spots hovering above the penguin's head are plain old stars within the Milky Way that just happen to lie in the same direction as the two galaxies — and the streak that seems to be flying away from the right-hand star is yet another galaxy, far in the background.
(MORE: Meet the Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny-Weeny Galaxy)
Back in the 1960s, astronomer Halton Arp included this weird configuration in his Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, but as telescopes have gotten more powerful, scientists now know that such distorted shapes are usually caused when two or more galaxies venture too close to each other, "exchanging matter and causing havoc" as a press release puts it.
The explanation is prosaic, but the image, taken recently in both infrared and visible light by the Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 3, is anything but. It's just one more in a long list of space objects that look at least passingly biological — the Horsehead Nebula, the Crab Nebula, the Cat's Eye Nebula, Jupiter's moon Europa (which looks something like a bloodshot eyeball), and the infamous Face on Mars are just a few examples. Even the structure of the universe itself resembles the structure of the human brain, according to some scientists.
It's no surprise, though: humans are hard-wired to see patterns in nature. That's why we see all manner of creatures, not just in the heavens, but also in clouds. It's a consequence of evolution — but it also transforms the world around us into a sort of living poetry.

text: Long overshadowed by the tumultuous 1960s and the transformative 1980s, the 1970s has finally been recognized as an era in its own right. And it is more than Watergate, big hair, and disco. During the 1970s, postwar affluence was undermined by new international competition with Japan and Europe and high-priced oil. The mixed economy bolstered by Keynesian aggregate demand could not right the ship and new economic principles privileging markets and capital were embraced by the victorious Republican Party in 1980. Nevertheless, the movements to redress racial and gender inequalities begun in the 1960s continued. The war in Vietnam, the source of so much conflict in the late 1960s, ended, although the American objective, a non-Communist South Vietnam, was not achieved. The Communist North united the country in 1975. But if Cold War issues receded during this era of detente, foreign economic policies assumed a new importance during the decade.More »

SPRING, Texas (AP) — A father opened fire at a suburban Houston home Wednesday, killing four of his children as well as two adults who were with them, and critically wounding his 15-year-old daughter, authorities said.
The teenager was able to call 911 and later warned deputies that her father planned to go to her grandparents' home to kill them, said Deputy Thomas Gilliland of the Harris County Sheriff's Office. The suspected gunman eventually surrendered after a three-hour standoff with deputies who had cornered him in a nearby cul-de-sac.
The sheriff's department said precinct deputy constables were called to the house in the northern Houston suburb of Spring about 6 p.m. Wednesday and found two adults and three children dead. Another child later died at a hospital.
Killed were two boys, ages 4 and 14; two girls, ages 7 and 9; a 39-year-old man; and a 33-year-old woman, said Gilliland. The gunman and his wife are estranged, and she was out of state, Gilliland said. Two of the dead children were adopted, he said.
"These children were all their children," he said of the suspect and his wife.
"It appears this stems from a domestic issue with a breakup in the family, from what our witness has told us," Assistant Chief Deputy Constable Mark Herman of the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office told reporters. He did not explain further.
Authorities also did not release the identities of the victims or the suspect, nor did they say whether the adults who were killed were related to the children or their father.
Gilliland said the teenager was in "very critical condition" at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston late Wednesday night.
After the 15-year-old survivor told deputies that her father was headed to her grandparents' home, they were able to pass along the warning, he said.
Authorities said the teen's information also helped them intercept the suspect. The suspected gunman then led authorities on a chase, with nearly two dozen deputy constables' patrol cars following him into a cul-de-sac shortly before 7 p.m. There, the suspect's boxed-in vehicle remained for hours. Finally, about 10 p.m., after hours of waiting and negotiations, the man emerged from his car, raised his hands and sank to his knees as deputies placed him under arrest.
During that time, Gilliand said, there were "two hours of constant talking with a man armed with a pistol to his head and who had just killed six people."
Gilliland described the man as in his 30s with a beard "and cool as a cucumber." He said that when he and other officers first approached, the man was "just sitting in his car looking out at us."
"This concluded the way we wanted it to," Gilliland said after the surrender.
Said Precinct 4 Constable Ron Hickman, "He was in the car for 3 ½ hours. He was worn down like the rest of us. He came out of the car without resistance."
Danna Stevens, 75, and her husband, Texas Stevens, live four doors down from the home where the shooting happened but weren't home at the time. She said she didn't know her neighbors well and that they had moved into the subdivision about a year ago.
Associated Press writers Emily Schmall in Fort Worth and Ramit Plushnick-Masti in Houston contributed to this report.

Glastonbury 2013 Could Be the Last Time for the Rolling Stones
The speculation of how the Rolling Stones will celebrate their 50th anniversary continues. News from the U.K. this morning (June 17) suggests that the group is looking to appear at next year's Glastonbury Festival, which will be the band's last-ever performance.
The Sunday Mirror quotes sources close to the band, who say that they will play a handful of shows in America and Britain next year, with the final hurrah being the closing slot on the Pyramid stage of the prestigious festival.
"All four members have agreed that next year is the right time to have one final hurrah and put on the gig of their lives," the source said. "It's a case of now or never, and obviously Glastonbury is the most important festival on the circuit. Everybody's incredibly excited… it's a final bow."
Granted, the Mirror is a British tabloid, so these unnamed sources should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, if Ronnie Wood seems to change the story every couple of weeks, how trustworthy is an anonymous source? Still, it's not implausible to suggest that the Stones, at their age, would want to perform fewer dates and make their final shows be major events.

Skip to comments.(Crappy Totalitarian Art) The Weirdest Monuments Of The Communist Era That Are Still Standing
Posted on 11/14/2012 6:52:58 PM PST by DogByte6RER
The Weirdest Monuments Of The Communist Era That Are Still Standing
After the fall of the Soviet Union, many Communist statues and sculptures were destroyed, while others were moved to statue parks or museums. But many of them remained in the same place for the last 20 years, while the former Soviet areas were transformed into modern countries. Here are thirteen of the most incredible ones. Click to enlarge images below.
1. Lenin's giant head, Ulan-Ude, Republic of Buryatia, Russia
The 42 ton, 25 foot tall head of former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin is standing in Ulan-Ude. Built in 1970, for the centennial of Lenin's birth.
2. Buzludzha Monument, formerly Yugoslavia, now Bulgaria
The abandoned flying saucer-like Buzludzha Monument is in the middle of Bulgaria, a center of a national park. 150 years ago it was the place of the biggest battle between the Turks and the Bulgarian rebels.
Like the hundreds of other monuments in the former Yugoslavia, it was commisioned by Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and early 1970s.
3. Makedonium (Ilinden Memorial), former Yugoslavia, now Krusevo, Macedonia
The symbol of the town is the memorial of the 1903 Ilinden rebellion. They fought "against the German, Italian and Bulgarian agressors" and won. In honor of the rebellion this monument was constructed in 1972 by Jordan Grabulovski.
4. Mitrovica Memorial, Mitrovica, Kosovo
5. War Memorial, Nikić, Montenegro
6. Monument to the Revolution of the people of Moslavina, Podgarić, Croatia
It is dedicated to the people of Moslavina during WWII. The memorial was designed by Duan Damonja in 1967.
7. Béla Kun Memorial, Memento Park, Budapest, Hungary
Created by Imre Varga in 1986. The Memento Park is one of the weirdest places on Earth. This outdoor museum is full of Communist era public statues which were removed from their original places after the fall of Communism.
8. The Great Patriotic War Memorial (or Mother Motherland Monument), Kiev, Ukraine
Part of the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. The whole structure is 102 m tall and the sword is 16 metres long, weighing more than 9 tons. It was built in 1981, designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich.
9. Mound of Glory, near Minsk, Belarus
It's a memorial complex for Soviet soldiers who fought during WWII. It was built on the 25th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus (1944). The architect was O. Stakhovich.
10. Korenica Monument, former Yugoslavia, now Croatia
This abandoned monument near the Croatian-Bosnian border symbolizes "the new freedom" for the Yugoslavian people.
11. The Tsitsernakaberd (Armenian Genocide Memorial), Yerevan, Armenia
Dedicated to the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide carried out by the Turks. It was designed by Arthur Tarkhanyan, Sashur Kalasyan and Hovhannes Khachatryan. There is a 44 m high stele and 12 slabs in a circle, representing the 12 lost provinces. In the center there is a 1.5 m high eternal flame, dedicated to the 1.5 million Armenians killed.
12. Weird Soviet-era statue, somewhere in Georgia
These are the most impressive horses ever, but the man driving the chariot doesn't care at all.
13: Weird Lenin Statue, Sukleia, Moldova
Years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the kids smashed the statue's head off. It stayed with a crushed head covered with plastic bag for years, but finally the local Red Party members have pleased a sculptor to restore it. Well, there is something strange now with his head.
Bonus: Saluting Robo-Lenin from Magnitorsk, 1931
In 1924 the Soviets began to erect giant monuments to Lenin, with this characteristic pointing hand and cap. Six years later, in 1930, Magnitorsk got a Lenin statue too, but a really weird one. Unfortunately the Saluting Robot Lenin was destroyed in 1932, so it is no longer standing. The photos were taken by the Life Magazine photographer Margaret Bourke-White in 1931.
Double Bonus: The Independence Monument of Turkmenistan
The 850,000 square foot complex has a 91 m high concrete and white marble tower with 27 small, weird looking statues of Turkmen heroes. There are some water fountains, pools, arches and sculptures too, and the Turkmens are building a new one every year.
Elements of all buildings commemorate the independence date of Turkmenistan, 27 October 1991.
As a worthy honorable mention, I would include this piece of cr@p commie designed statue that was recently added to the Washington, D.C. Mall
I was not able to link all of the photos via HTML onto this post. if you want to see all of the photos, link over to the IO9 story at:
correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't Obama the most obvious work of art still standing?
They should add a note:
Everything in North Korea
Ugly Croatian building
Russian Embassy, Cuba.
The Colossus of Königsberg.
Boston City Hall. Not Communist, but almost.
Quetzalcoatl/Great Big Turd sculpture, San Jose, CA
They left out Hot Plate Harry in Jakarta from the Sukarno era.
The Movie "Brazil" comes to mind.
Thanks! I love to hate modern art and architecture. Brutalism is especially horrifying.
Thanks for great thread.
I swear but 'Robo-Lenin from Magnitorsk, 1931' is an escaped Lego minifig!
Actually, it reminds me of the 1984 version of 1984.
I really liked this version, but I haven't seen it in years, because it reminds me of where I work...
Gilliam's 1984 is a cult classic and it freaks me out because I see it happening everyday.
"Thanks for great thread."
Indeed! What PghBaldy said!
John Lennon Park, Havana, Cuba.
Most are bizzare, downright ugly, and commemorate bad things. But that Kiev War memorial is a normal large statue with a sword, and commmorates 2 battles where at least 800,000 died in the Nazi war.
Not really that weird.
The third one looks like those things the Dutch throw in the water to protect causeways and dikes from the waves.

Lions take S Carolina defensive end in 4th round
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions lost both of last season's starting defensive ends and used the final day of the NFL Draft to fill those holes.
Two days after taking end Ezekiel Ansah, the Lions selected Devin Taylor with their first pick in Saturday's fourth round. The South Carolina end could join Ansah in bookending a line that lost Cliff Avril and Kyle Vanden Bosch during the offseason.
Both ends are tall — Ansah is 6-5, Taylor is 6-7 — with long wingspans and join 6-5 Jason Jones, who came from Seattle as a free agent.
"One of our goals coming in was to get bigger and more athletic and Devin does that," Detroit general manager Martin Mayhew said, adding Taylor's long arms were a plus. That was something we kind of focused on."
Taylor started the final 40 games of his career and had 39 tackles for loss, including 21 sacks during his career at South Carolina. He also had two interceptions. He was an SEC first-team honoree after his sophomore season lining up alongside fellow end Jadeveon Clowney, whom many considered the best pro prospect to play college football last season.
That didn't bother Taylor.
"I never really had a problem being the 'other guy,'" he said. "If anything, it just made me want to work harder."
Lions coach Jim Schwartz wouldn't speculate on what side Taylor or Ansah will line up on but added both will have ample chances to play.
"We use a lot of those guys," he said, referring to his defensive linemen. "It's not like the O-line or quarterback. We give (defensive linemen) lots of time."
Whoever plays on the outside will line up next to potentially disruptive combination of tackles Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley.
The long arms on the outside, Schwartz added, should help the ends shed blockers more effectively. The chance of swatting down passes is a plus, along with one other potential benefit.
"We have a good chance to lead the NFL in rebounding," he quipped.
Mayhew said the final day capped a good couple of days for the franchise, especially when it came to making the Lions a more physically imposing team — that 'bigger, faster, more athletic' theme he spoke of earlier in the day.
"We've added some guys who helped us do that," he said. "We're longer on the defensive line, we've got some athletic guys who can run at some positions and we got younger."
Detroit traded down in the fifth round to get an extra sixth-round pick and selected Appalachian State punter Sam Martin late in the fifth. He'll get plenty of chances to win the starting job after veteran Nick Harris didn't return.
He's the first punter the Lions have drafted since 1984, when they took Mike Saxson in the 11th round.
Mayhew said the team liked Martin's versatility — he kicked off for the Mountaineers and was a holder on field goal tries — when he worked out for them.
The trade gave the Lions two sixth-round picks and they used the first to take Virginia Tech wide receiver Corey Fuller early in the round. Notre Dame running back Theo Riddick, who also was used as a slot receiver and could double as a kick returner, was taken later in the sixth.
Alabama tight end Michael Williams, described as more a throwback blocking end, was taken early in the seventh round and the Lions used their ninth and final pick to take Florida A&M linebacker Brandon Hepburn late in the round.
Hepburn, who graduated with a degree in biochemistry, was part of a team that worked to eliminate cancer cells from mice using nanotechnology. He's looking forward to a career in the pharmaceutical field one day, but the urge to live out a dream kept him conditioning for a shot at the NFL.
"I always wanted to be in a position to play in the NFL," he said.
Detroit took Mississippi State cornerback Darius Slay in the second round and used its third-round selection to take Kentucky Guard Larry Warford.
The only need the Lions didn't seem to address was on the offensive line. Left tackle Jeff Backus retired during the offseason and right tackle Gosder Cherilis left as a free agent. Detroit had the fifth pick in the first round but missed on the three highest-rated tackles before taking Ansah from Brigham Young.
Mayhew said the team still will look for veterans to add to the offensive line between now and late July when the team opens training camp.
The Lions host the New York Jets on Aug. 9 to open exhibition play and welcome Minnesota on Sept. 8 for both teams' regular season opener.
