Citizen's Arrest and Self-defence Act
Government Orders
12:35 p.m.
Yasmin Ratansi Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak today to Bill C-60, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (citizen's arrest and the defences of property and persons).
The genesis of the bill was the arrest of Toronto grocer, David Chen, who apprehended a man who had previously stolen from his store. Mr. Chen was arrested and charged with forcible confinement after the perpetrator of the theft was caught outside his store by Mr. Chen who effected what, in his mind, was a citizen's arrest.
Under the current provisions of the Criminal Code, a citizen may make an arrest only when a criminal offence is being committed or has been committed and the alleged criminal is in the process of fleeing. Eventually, the court, after a lengthy period of time and a large public outcry, found Mr. Chen not guilty due to a reasonable doubt being identified by the judge.
As I look at Bill C-60, it tries to amend subsection 494(2) of the Criminal Code to enable private citizens who own or have lawful possession of property, or persons authorized by them, to arrest, within a reasonable time, a person who they find committing a criminal offence on or in relation to that property. This power of arrest would only be authorized when there are reasonable grounds to believe that it is not feasible in the circumstances for the arrest to be made by a police officer. It would also amend the Criminal Code to simplify the provision relating to the defence of property and persons.
We must be careful that the passage of this bill does not give the public the erroneous impression that individuals have the right to mete out any form of vigilante justice. The government has taken too long to introduce a bill on this issue, and when it came up with this wording, there are some issues around clarity. There is ambiguity. What are these things that need to be clarified? The ambiguity that is most concerning is what is meant by a reasonable amount of time between the act of violence that is committed on a personal property and when a citizen's arrest is made.
If this ambiguity is left unresolved it could lead others to inadvertently commit a criminal act. For example, let us say that we see someone breaking into our house or garage and stealling tools but we are not able to apprehend the person, if we were to meet that person next week in a park could we apprehend him or her then? What is a reasonable time? How does one get around it? If I see somebody breaking into my neighbour's house, what is my job as a citizen? Should I make a citizen's arrest? Where are the parameters? Those are the parameters of the citizen's arrest that are missing from this explanation or change to the act.
How do we ensure clarity? We need to have clarity so we do not have a repeat of what happened to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen did what he thought was helping the police. He arrested the guy who was a repeat offender and because it was his personal property he thought he was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, the police arrested Mr. Chen and told him that he was doing the wrong thing.
I wonder how many of us would stop if we saw a theft taking place, take a picture and ensure the picture was correct so we could give it to the police do they could find the person. We know the police force is underfunded. It needs all the citizen help it can get. Where is this clarity that we are looking for? I know police officers have also raised concern about the legislation and I look forward to hearing those concerns. I would look forward to sending this bill to committee.
For a government that says it is a law and order agenda government, why did it take so long to bring about changes?
The member for Eglinton—Lawrence and the member for Trinity—Spadina both addressed this issue many months ago when they brought in a private member's bill. It was after they brought in the private member's bill that the government decided that it should get around to this issue as well.
I want the government to be smart on crime and to be alert on crime, not to make crime some election issue. These are crimes that affect citizens and that affect my daily life. I would like the government to clarify due process. How does the judge know what due process is? The judiciary should be given that clarity.
What determines a citizen's arrest? The police need to be given clarity so they do not repeat the mistakes that happened in Mr. Chen's case. If the police do not understand the interpretation of this bill, we will have another repeat of Mr. Chen's situation.
This is important for all of us. I will give an example that is very interesting. Spitting is not allowed on many streets, especially in Europe. People cannot spit on the street. Is spitting a crime? Do I take a picture? If I do take a picture, what do I do with it? How do I make a citizen's arrest? If I see a member's computer being stolen, what do I do about it? What is a reasonable time? When do I enforce it? As I mentioned, the police force does not have the wherewithal to arrive on time sometimes. It needs all the help it can get.
Therefore, when we are looking at making changes to that act, we should let the police do their justice job. If we are trying to apprehend a perpetrator and the perpetrator has a gun, what do we do? How do we protect ourselves? Yes, the police should do their job and, yes, the police cannot always be there, but when we are talking about citizen's arrests, let us be clear about what we want.
It is unfortunate that the government took so long. It is unfortunate that Mr. Chen had to go through this lengthy and costly legal process due to the ambiguity. I do not think the ambiguity has been clarified by what the government has introduced.
I hope the committee and its members will look at these concerns and that they will come up with a solution that provides clarity to the public, the police and the judiciary.

Joe Volpe Eglinton—Lawrence, ON
Mr. Speaker, I compliment my colleague on attempting to make the legislation relevant to the everyday experiences of ordinary citizens.
Mr. Chen was an ordinary citizen. He had the assurance of the Minister of Immigration that his situation would be rectified very quickly by the Government of Canada, or the SH government. He also had a similar assurance from the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice.
By his own words, we have the Minister of Justice's account that in late 2009 the governments of the various provinces were already coming to a conclusion with regard to this and yet the government did nothing.
I wonder whether the member will comment on why it took two opposition bills in order to prompt the government to action?

Mr. Speaker, the member's question brought me back to the fact that the Prime Minister went to Mr. Chen's store for electioneering purposes.
It was the member for Eglinton—Lawrence and the member for Trinity—Spadina who were the proponents of this private member's bill to move it forward.
I can only speculate that this was electioneering because if it was for the law and order agenda and I as a private citizen am not protected, it must be speculation time.

Steven Fletcher Minister of State (Democratic Reform)
Mr. Speaker, I was listening with a little interest to what the member was saying and I reflect on her comment about the fact that the Conservative Party is tough on crime. We are tough on crime and that is why we have introduced this bill. This bill would take care of the people who wish to harm citizens or their property. We have introduced legislation to get rid of the three for one and two for one time served credits that criminals were taking advantage of. We have introduced laws that are tough on crime.
Would the member not just admit that the Liberal Party is soft on crime and would like to see as much leeway as possible given to the bad guys so they can escape prosecution? Would the member please state for the record that she is against prosecution?

Mr. Speaker, I am quite amused by this. If there is a three for one credit, I have to wonder whether the senators who were charged with fraud in elections will be going to jail and what time they will serve.
When it comes to Conservatives committing a crime, why is it that the government absolutely refuses to put them in prison or ensures that due process takes place? Ordinary citizens who commit crimes are put wherever and the Conservatives think they are being tough on crime. But when it comes to the Conservative senators, members and ministers who are implicated in fraud in elections, where will they be going?

Joe Volpe Eglinton—Lawrence, ON
Mr. Speaker, the member opposite just raised a very important point, and that is that the SH government has no agenda for getting tough on crime. It does not have a reasonable approach to dealing with crime and promoting justice. In fact, there are no more resources being allocated for justice issues.
How can one be tough except by one's own wrath?

Mr. Speaker, instead of investing in the police, who are underfunded and under-resourced, the government is creating mega prisons for unreported crimes. The government needs to invest in resources. The police need money, so let us invest in the right resources. Let us be smart on crime, not stupid on crime.

Don Davies Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to stand today to speak to Bill C-60, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (citizen's arrest and the defences of property and persons).
The New Democrats are happy to support the bill, at least insofar as it would expand the legal authority for private citizens to make an arrest within a reasonable amount of time after they find that person committing a criminal offence.
It is important to understand that the bill would do three things: first, it would extend the time period from the present Criminal Code situation in which a person may make a citizen's arrest; second, it would amend the defence of persons provisions of the Criminal Code; and, third, it would amend the defence of property provisions of the Criminal Code.
It is the New Democrat Party's position that the first part of the bill is an appropriate amendment to our law that our party supports. With respect to the other two sections, we believe that those sections should be split from the bill or otherwise studied independently in committee prior to making any changes in that regard.
Again, the legislation would expand the legal authority for private citizens to make an arrest from the present situation which allows citizens to make that arrest if they catch someone in the commission of a crime; that is, any citizen of Canada can make a citizen's arrest lawfully under the Criminal Code provided that they make that arrest during the commission of that offence.
Canadians saw a spectacle last summer where a Toronto shopkeeper arrested a person who had come to his store on multiple occasions and stolen from him. His name was David Chen and the name of his store was the Lucky Moose. The thief returned to the store within a very close amount of time from having robbed it earlier, I think within the last day or two, and entered the store again. Mr. Chen had a videotape of this person, so identification was not an issue. Mr. Chen and his staff held that person until the police arrived.
What happened next is something that I think revealed the problem with the current law, which is that upon arriving at Mr. Chen's store, the police did not arrest the alleged thief, but arrested Mr. Chen and charged him with a number of offences, including unlawful confinement and other such, I think, completely unreasonable offences.
Of course, at the time, the police really had no choice but to do so because the law, as it currently stands, says that a person may only make that arrest during the commission of an offence. Since the thief had arrived at Mr. Chen's store not during the commission of the offence but within a day or two later, Mr. Chen was not within his rights, under the Criminal Code, to make that arrest.
The bill would also bring reforms to simplify or clarify, according to the government, the Criminal Code provisions on self-defence and defence of property, and clarify where reasonable use of force is permitted in relation to those issues.
The amendments to subsection 494(2) of the Criminal Code, on citizen's arrest, would authorize private citizens to make that arrest within a reasonable amount of time after they find someone committing a criminal offence that occurs in relation to property and the power of arrest would only be authorized when that person has reasonable grounds to believe that it is not feasible in the circumstances for the arrest to be made by a peace officer or, in other words, a police officer.
The legislation would also attempt to clarify, by cross-reference to the Criminal Code, that use of force is authorized in a citizen's arrest but that there are specific and concrete limits placed on how much force could be used.
In essence, the laws currently permit the reasonable use of force, taking into account all of the circumstances of a particular case and, of course, the current Criminal Code and the bill would continue to make it clear that a person is not entitled to use excessive force in a citizen's arrest.
There are very important considerations in the bill. A citizen's arrest is a very serious, potentially dangerous undertaking. Unlike a peace officer, a private citizen is neither tasked with the duty to preserve and maintain public peace nor, generally speaking, properly trained to apprehend suspected criminals.
In most cases, an arrest consists of either actually seizing or touching a person's body, with a view to detaining him or her, or by using words where the person submits to the arrest. Citizen's arrests made without careful consideration of the risk factors may have serious, unintended, physical or legal consequences for everybody involved.
When deciding if a citizen's arrest is appropriate, people should consider a number of factors, including whether a peace officer is available to intervene at that time, their personal safety or the safety of others, and whether that safety would be compromised by attempting an arrest. They should report information about the crime to police instead of taking action on their own wherever possible. They must have a reasonable belief regarding the suspect's criminal conduct and identity, and of course, they must turn over the suspect to the police without delay once an arrest is made.
I want to give credit where credit is due. My colleague from Trinity—Spadina, upon learning of Mr. Chen's situation, immediately went to work, as New Democrat MPs are renowned in the House for doing, by drafting a private member's bill, Bill C-565. The NDP responded to the situation before any other party in the House did.
My colleague drafted a bill that dealt surgically and precisely with the situation at hand. It could have been law today if the government had simply agreed to pass Bill C-565 by unanimous consent. In fact, all the parties could have done that. That bill would have expanded the time in which a citizen could make a citizen's arrest, which is all that is required.
The situation Mr. Chen faced was that he made an arrest after the commission of the offence and that is what put him in jeopardy. If we had amended the Criminal Code, we could have clarified that situation. The problem with the bill the government has put forward is that it goes beyond that. It purports to amend the sections of defence of property and persons in the Criminal Code, which are not situations that were required to be amended because of the Lucky Moose situation and which, of course, will slow down this legislation because now all parties in the House have to study carefully what those sections mean.
After my colleague drafted her bill, I was proud to second it. My colleague and I then toured small businesses in Vancouver Kingsway where I brought up the situation of Mr. Chen and the Lucky Moose to small business owners and asked their opinion. I also drafted a petition asking whether or not small business people would support my colleague's bill and there was overwhelming support.
The conversations I had with small business owners in Vancouver Kingsway made it clear that small business people are very concerned about theft, pilferage in their stores, the very slow response time of police, and the inability of police to deal adequately with the problem of shoplifting. These are hard-working store owners who employ thousands of my constituents and deserve to be better protected from those who would steal from them. I heard from small business people that their margins of profit are very thin and the difference between a small business owner making a living or not very often depends on the amount of crime, whether vandalism or theft.
I also met with the head of the Vancouver Chinatown Business Improvement Society and Tony Lam, and I heard their experiences. The shop owners in Chinatown in Vancouver tell me that their very existence is threatened by the crime experienced in the Downtown Eastside. They have to hire private security. They say that police are so over-stretched they are unable to respond. I want to talk for just a minute about that because part of the problem underlying this bill is the problem of over-stretched police.
I have met with police board representatives, police officers, chiefs of police, and with municipalities across this country. They tell me that the 2,500 police officer positions the government promised to create have not materialized. They have said that the $500 million in federal policing costs are being downloaded to municipalities. They told me that in order to make their streets safer, and ensure that citizens and businesses are protected, they need more community policing.
That is the underlying problem that this bill seeks to remediate. Citizens are now placed in the position of having to do what they pay taxes for, which is to get police to respond to crime. However, that does not happen when the government does not provide the necessary funding for long-term positions, does not target the money to provinces to create the positions, and does not create enough funds to hire the civilian staff necessary to support the police officers.
I am proud to support this bill and small businesses in this country, and to ensure they can protect themselves from crime.

Mr. Speaker, the hon. colleague is a lawyer and is accustomed to ensuring that precision is part of the presentation. He will recall that, on June 16, I presented a private member's bill to draw the government's attention to the fact that Mr. Chen's case was languishing in a stupor of indifference. The member for Trinity—Spadina followed that up the following September, still in 2010, weeks before Mr. Chen's case appeared in court for deliberation. Still there was no action by the government. Remember, the government says that it is tough on crime, but it is indifferent to victims.
Those of us who really wanted a balanced approach to life were looking for an indication that the government would deliver on its promises, promises made by the Minister of Immigration and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice. Even the Justice Minister, in his presentation, indicated that in the fall of 2009 he was already in consultation with the provincial attorneys general to do something, and did nothing. Does the member not find this all strange?

Mr. Speaker, I give credit to the hon. member for Eglinton—Lawrence and commend him on his early action as well to draft legislation, again showing that the opposition was first off the mark in dealing with the situation of Mr. Chen and the Lucky Moose.
Absolutely, Canadians want a balanced approach to crime. Very often I think it is a fair comment to say that the government tries to reduce crime to simple sloganeering, to name calling and to simplification that really all Canadians utterly reject. Every member of the House is in favour of reducing crime in our country. Every member of the House is dedicated to ensuring we take care of victims. For one party in the House to constantly stand and accuse the other parties of not caring about those things is as dishonourable as it is dishonest.
We need to look at our law and make improvements where the law really requires it. I think this is a section of the Criminal Code that all parties can agree, and I think we all agree, that expanding the citizen's arrest provisions of the Criminal Code is necessary and is desirable to modernize this section to keep up with the expectations of Canadians in this important area.

Mr. Speaker, I welcome the hon. member's intervention because, with his legal training, he has an insight into the way the law would work, from which other members of Parliament might benefit.
Trying to tap on his expertise, I would like to get his views on whether it has been necessary for this legislation, Bill C-60, to be as expansive as it has become. We were essentially trying to address the issue of a citizen's right to arrest, period, pure and simple. The government has unnecessarily burdened this debate with other issues that will take the public's attention away from a very small amendment to the Criminal Code.
In fact, it is an amendment that had been studied by various university law professors and had been worked on by those associated with Mr. Chen. I compliment Chi-Kun Shi and all her team of legal experts who provided the energy and incentive to Mr. Chen and gave him the courage to stand up to government, to speak truth to power and to ask for a change in law so citizens could be protected.

Don Davies Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, the short answer to the hon. member's question is yes.
All that was required to amend the law in this case was to pass the essential amendment that my colleague from Trinity—Spadina and my hon. colleague from Eglinton—Lawrence proposed in their legislation, which is simply to extend the time period in which a citizen may make an arrest to a reasonable time within the commission of a crime.
The fact that the government tacked on unnecessary and complicating amendments, which have to do with sections of the Criminal Code that are not engaged by the Chen incident, that are not required to be amended in order to deal surgically with the situation at hand, does slow down the passing of this bill. It does make every reasonable member of the House have to pause and study the impact of those sections of the Criminal Code. Therefore, it is likely that the bill will not be passed as swiftly as it could have been had we just done what the hon. member's bill and my hon. colleague's bill would have done.

Claude Bachand Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, to begin with, I must tell you that the Bloc Québécois will support this bill at second reading. The reason is quite simple: we very much want the bill to be referred to committee so it can be studied. In fact, as is their custom, the Conservatives introduce bills with titles that are sometimes misleading. In addition, we are familiar with their Republican-style approach, characterized by penalties, punishment and being tough on crime. Often, a simple bill goes beyond the issue it is supposed to resolve. That is what we are dealing with today.
The bill is called An Act to amend the Criminal Code (citizen's arrest and the defences of property and persons). In reading the bill, we realize that it goes too far. As I was saying, it errs on the side of punishment, ideology and rigidity. There is no flexibility in the Conservative ideology, which makes it difficult to try to find new ways of dealing with new behaviours in society. The Conservatives always have the same reflex: the response has to be far-reaching, people must go to jail, and rehabilitation is not possible.
So, you will understand that with this bill, like many other bills related to justice and safety, as the saying goes, the devil is in the details. When we take a closer look at these details, we see that the title of the bill before us does not necessarily reflect its content.
I would like to give examples of the Conservatives' lack of flexibility in their approach to crime, which focuses solely on punitive measures. There are many examples, one of which is Bill C-25 to amend the Youth Criminal Justice Act. This bill was considered heresy in Quebec because we believe that it is more important to focus on prevention, particularly when it comes to adolescents. We should not imprison them and thereby send them to crime school because, when they get out of prison, they will have indeed become true criminals. In Quebec, we want to do the opposite; we want to rehabilitate these offenders and give them a second chance. If you look at the statistics, you will see that Quebec has had the most success in this area. This not only benefits society, but it also saves money because it means that we do not have to spend money on prisons, as the Conservative government is preparing to do by making major investments in correctional facilities.
These are examples of the lack of flexibility we have a hard time accepting because we do not have the same type of society. And you know that the Bloc members try to reflect the reality and the vision of Quebeckers as much as possible. But these visions that come from the rest of Canada, especially from the Conservative Party, in no way reflect Quebeckers' wishes in terms of justice.
It is the same story with the bill to amend the regulations for certain drugs. Pursuant to this bill, a teenager who is caught smoking a joint will be thrown in prison and will be tried in court, instead of being rehabilitated so he can become someone who contributes to society instead of spending his life behind bars, becoming someone who will, upon release, commit other crimes and make his situation worse, at which point he will be beyond help.
The Conservative government is not on the right track with its approach. It has missed the train entirely, and that is why the committee must examine this bill together.
Another example is the appointment of judges. The Minister of Justice now has the majority on the committee that selects judges. That is an odd way of controlling justice. But the judiciary is one of the basic pillars of a democracy, along with the executive and the legislative branches. As soon as a government goes to extremes to control the judiciary, as the Conservatives are doing, it is not surprising that these pillars would weaken and that our society would become dysfunctional. Therefore, it is important for us to delve into this bill and to examine it in detail.
We are looking out for the concerns of Quebeckers. We want a balanced approach, without too much repression, based on today's realities, because we are no longer working with 19th or 20th century laws. This is the 21st century. We need a new approach, which Quebeckers have managed to implement in their justice system. We cannot see ourselves in what the Conservative government is putting forward.
We must avoid the huge trap the Americans have fallen into. Proportionally speaking, seven times more prison sentences are handed down in the United States than in Quebec. We think we are on the right track. Imitating the Americans will not resolve matters here; on the contrary. The government wants to build more prisons. This will probably mean more guards in secure environments. This all costs money, and we are anxious to see those details. In fact, the opposition has requested documents in that regard and I would remind the government that it is running out of time to produce those documents, if it wants to avoid being found in contempt of Parliament.
The Bloc Québécois looked at some interesting points. Our parole system makes no sense. It makes no sense that Norbourg's Vincent Lacroix is out of prison in an open environment, when he ruined the lives of about 9,000 people and stole over $100 million. He should have served a full sentence for his crimes, instead of being released on parole. The proof that we are in touch with reality is that Quebeckers do not agree that Vincent Lacroix should be almost completely free at this time.
People also want us to do more to fight organized crime, which would be easy to do. We simply need to confiscate more assets. Anyone who accumulates goods or money fraudulently would have it confiscated and those assets and money would be placed in a fund used to pay for the fight against crime. These are excellent ideas. Unfortunately, the government refuses to listen to them.
We also need to eliminate the provision regarding the double credit that is given for time served before sentencing. At present, offenders can simply ask their lawyers to delay their cases, since every day they serve before sentencing will count as double. That is a problem. Unfortunately, once again, the government refuses to listen.
Let us now talk about citizen's arrest. There is a change here, and the devil is in the details. It must happen within a reasonable time, but what is a reasonable time? There must be reasonable grounds. It must not be feasible in the circumstances for a peace officer to make the arrest. The person wanting to make the arrest must feel that no other options are available because the police are not there. This is a very arbitrary provision and should be more precise in order for progress to be made.
We must also ensure that things do not get out of hand. We do not want to encourage vigilantes like the ones Charles Bronson played in the 1970s. If someone tries to make off with a pack of gum, the convenience store owner must not take out a gun and shoot him. Who will determine the amount of force needed? I may be told that these are mere details, but it is important to consider them.
It is the same for self-defence. Necessity is no longer a requirement for using force when it comes to self-defence. It used to have to be proven that force was necessary. At present, someone could threaten my friends or family and I, in self-defence, could seriously harm them. These things need to be examined. And that is why the Bloc Québécois wants this bill to be passed at second reading. The incident in Toronto cannot be ignored. Citizen's arrests can take place as long as certain rules are followed, and these rules need to be established and studied in committee.
We will support Bill C-60 at second reading so that it can be studied in more detail in committee and so that we can chase the devil out of the details.

Mr. Speaker, I think that the members in the House need to pay attention to the Bloc member when he says that the devil is in the details.
This could have been a very easy bill to address had the government told everybody that it saw a problem with a specific element in the Criminal Code that it wished to address. It had unanimous support in the House. Witness the two bills by the member for Eglinton—Lawrence and Trinity—Spadina. However, the government has taken a position, and I hope my hon. colleague will comment on this, that the entire Criminal Code needs an uplift, needs sorting out and greater attention, but it has not made the case for this bill.
We are looking for government members and government ministers to convince the House and the general public why the bill needs to be accepted in all its complexity as presented to the House.
The hon. member has just made a compelling case for saying there are very important issues that need to be addressed. The business of citizen's arrest is one of them. It is a crucial one. It tips the balance toward the citizen on reasonable grounds on a case-by-case basis--

Finger Fitness by Stefan AlbrechtFlute Method Book
Finger Fitness contains the first comprehensive systemization of flute fingering patterns. The basic patterns of common fingering sequences are filtered out from over 700 possible note combinations. The aim is to practice these elemental sequences of finger movements following a similar method to that used in sports training. Exercises for scales and arpeggios then follow beginning with individual fingers and then incorporating the whole hand. "Fit for Major and Minor" contains exercises for all keys, and the sections "Building Up Individual Movements" contain all difficult flute fingering combinations arranged systematically. In a separate chapter the question "Why difficult passages are difficult" is answered on the basis of the physiology of motion, and the process of how to work on selected examples from the flute repertoire is demonstrated in "Finger Action Training."

A Memorable Taste of Britain
A ballotine is boned and flattened poultry, stuffed with ground meat and other ingredients. The dish doesn't get any tastier than the version concocted by Bon Soirée owner/chef Derek Freeman.
Freeman employs a stuffing of minced pork and crumbled black pudding, to which he adds brandy, port and seasonings. He rolls the stuffing into thin sausages and wraps them with chicken. Then he covers the resulting round ballotine in Parma ham and poaches the dish for approximately 20 minutes.
Now comes the bed of "bubble and squeak." In England, bubble-and-squeak cakes are a Monday treat made of finely chopped veggies and mashed potatoes—leftovers from Sunday dinner—that are formed into cakes and pan-fried. (Rest assured, said Freeman, the veggies in his bubble-and-squeak cakes are not leftovers.)
The chef cuts the finished ballotine into portions and aligns them on the bubble and squeak with char-grilled asparagus and au jus from homemade chicken stock. The result is a thing of beauty, and according to Freeman, just as delicious as it is attractive.—Kirby J. Harrison

Slim margins and the Home
Never let it be said your vote doesn't matter.
Look at Wednesday's 16-9 failed vote to sell the Chautauqua County Home as proof. It is the second time a deal to sell the Home has fallen through because one more vote was needed to reach a supermajority of 17 legislators.
We harken back to 2011, when Jamestown's Tim Hoyer earned election to the Chautauqua County Legislature by 16 votes over challenger Michael Haddad in a district with 489 votes cast, and Robert Whitney fended off a challenge by David Wilfong by 58 votes in a district in which 709 votes were cast. They are two of the three legislators on whom selling the Chautauqua County Home hinge.
Both were elected by slim margins. Both could have been the one vote needed to sell the home.
Nine legislators voted against the sale – Whitney, Lori Cornell and Hoyer, all Jamestown Democrats; Keith Ahlstrom, D-Dunkirk; William Coughlin, D-Fredonia; Tom DeJoe, D-Brocton; Bob Duff, R-Sheridan; Shaun Heenan, D-Dunkirk; and Bob Scudder, R-Fredonia.
Ahlstrom's vote, judging from his public comments, had less to do with faith in county ownership in the Home than in doing what his constituents ask of him. Ahlstrom admitted there will come a time when legislators in favor of selling are correct in their belief continued county ownership of the home isn't sustainable.
North county legislators can fall back on listening to their constituents, though we say the concerns of north county residents are based on comfort rather than what is best for the Home's residents. What about their south county counterparts?
Hoyer, who thankfully isn't running for re-election, says his vote against the sale comes from his belief society should take care of the elderly. He reasons selling the Home goes against the idea of caring for our neighbors. We ask Mr. Hoyer how well the Home will care for our neighbors when it is forced to close? It is a scenario for which he relies on flimsy logic and funhouse mirrors the likes of which don't deserve to be heard on the legislature floor. Good riddance.
As for the other Jamestown Democrats, their reasons are similarly flimsy.
Cornell didn't speak during Wednesday's meeting. She has never voted in favor of a sale offer for the home. Cornell didn't think Avi Rothner was a suitable buyer. Her silence after voting against VestraCare's purchase offer, however, comes in comparison to rave reviews from legislators who have toured VestraCare's other facilities. Her silence and nay vote come despite VestraCare's desire to add to the County Home more rehabilitation services, assisted living, independent living, apartments, adult day care and specific changes in care for people who are developmentally disabled.
Whitney, meanwhile, relied on politics – blaming Republicans who scheduled the vote so close to Election Day. His voting history suggests the vote had less to do with politics and timing of the vote than what the sale would do to the home's employees. That was his reasoning when questioned in August about a possible sale of the home to Richard Platschek, a deal whose failure led to VestraCare's offer.
Those who are on the fence in the race for Chautauqua County clerk, which deals heavily in revenues, may now have a clearer choice in the election. Larry Barmore's vote on the Home was about eliminating a deficit for the county, Cornell's was not. She may pay for that on Tuesday.
Whitney is running for office on Tuesday against David Wilfong for the legislature. There are other differences between the candidates, but Wilfong and Whitney are diametrically opposed on the home. A vote for Wilfong is a vote for another legislator who will sell the home and make a solid financial decision for all taxpayers. Votes for Whitney are votes to keep the home and keep losing money on a facility that is unlikely to break even under county ownership.
The message to registered voters is clear: your vote matters.

|Head YOUTEK Graphene Instinct MP Scores
Head updates the Instinct line with the introduction of Graphene, its newest technology. According to Head, Graphene is the lightest and strongest material in the world. Inserting Graphene into the throat of the racquet helps redistribute the weight of the frame toward the ends, making the racquet more solid and easier to swing. Our playtesters did indeed find this newest version of the Instinct MP easier to swing from all areas of the court. It was easy to get in position when hitting volleys and returns, and it was easy to generate power and spin on groundstrokes and serves. Our only issue came when we hit the ball off center, and the racquet didn't provide the desired amount of stability and plow through. With that said, the team found the racquet easy to use and definitely worth a demo. Read on to hear our thoughts on Maria Sharapova and Tomas Berdych's newest racquet of choice.
Our playtesters enjoyed hitting the new YOUTEK Graphene Instinct MP from the baseline, finding it easy to use and extremely maneuverable. Brittany loved the easy access to power and spin off both wings. She said, "First off, I loved how easy this racquet was to swing. I was able to generate a lot of power and depth off both my forehand and backhand. There was also plenty of spin when I was on the defense and needed to spin the ball back deep in the court to get back into a neutral position. I thought the racquet was very comfortable to play with even with a full bed of poly, and when I accidentally hit an off-center shot. However, I did miss a little 'oomph' (or bite) on my slice, and I was having trouble keeping the ball low."
Karly needed little time to adjust to this racquet and echoed Brittany's thoughts on the easy power and spin. She said, "I loved how quickly I adjusted to this racquet. It was so easy to use from the get-go. The racquet felt extremely light and swinging it took very little effort. I also really enjoyed its easy access to spin. Whether it was topspin or slice, I felt like I could easily put a good amount of spin behind my shots. I thought the racquet was a little more power oriented; it was simple to produce pace, though I didn't think that power was too overbearing. The user friendliness was a great plus with this racquet, but I thought the response could've been a little better. If I hit outside of the sweetspot the racquet felt very dead and unforgiving. I also thought the racquet felt fairly stiff and the comfort could've been better."
Mike found effortless racquet head speed from the baseline. He offered, "Forehands with this racquet were awesome. I was able to really whip the ball and hit with tons of pace, but still control the ball and be more consistent than usual. I was also able to generate power on my backhands, but still hit angles that I wouldn't normally hit, putting my opponents on defense with ease. This was a very easy racquet to adjust to."
Chris enjoyed the maneuverability but felt this new update of the Instinct was a little less solid and stable than the previous one. He said, "This was a very light and fast racquet off the ground. I found it to feel and play better the faster I swung it. When I was taking a good cut at the ball the racquet felt pretty solid, and I was getting good spin. I was also impressed by the comfort. I thought the racquet lacked some stability on slower swings, and got pushed around a little. With that in mind, I tried to keep the racquet tip speed up and swing aggressively through most shots, though it was tough to do in certain defensive situations. I would definitely add some weight to this one; it did not feel as solid as the previous version. Everything else was there, though, and I was getting good spin and control on my aggressive swings."
The maneuverability was very apparent around the net for our playtest squad, but unfortunately, so was the instability from the lack of weight in the racquet head. Chris thought the comfort was better, but he had issues with instability. He offered, "I continued to be impressed by the comfort of this racquet at net. It felt more comfortable than the previous version. As from the baseline, it was a very easy racquet to maneuver, and I felt very fast with it in my hands. I could punch volleys deep with good pace and found ample control. Again, stability was the one issue I had with this racquet. I found the racquet fluttered too much when I was off center or up against a heavily hit shot."
Karly liked how easy it was to get the racquet in position, but if she didn't hit it just right she had the same issues as Chris. She said, "Maneuverability was top-notch up at net. The racquet made volleying really simple because it was so easy to swing. It felt very light, and I could move it with little effort. I also thought the racquet had better touch when coming up to net. I could easily change the pace on the ball and was more confident if I wanted to hit a drop shot with it. I thought it was a great racquet to maneuver and direct my shots when volleying. While the maneuverability was superb and the touch improved up at net, volleying with the racquet was where I felt the most instability. I thought it felt too stiff, and unless I hit in the sweetspot the racquet felt unstable and dead."
Echoing the same opinions was Brittany, who found positive and negatives about the racquet's light weight. She said, "My volleys didn't feel as solid as I would have liked. I felt like I was missing a little mass in the head, and I thought the racquet played lighter than its weight. On the positive side, the racquet was very maneuverable and I was able to get my racquet into position early."
Mike loved the new Instinct around the net. He said, "This was one of my favorite racquets to hit with at net. Controlling and placing the ball with this racquet was very easy, and I was hitting drop shots and using finesse like my life depended on it. Volleying isn't usually one of my strong points, but with this racquet it felt like it was."
Maybe the favorite shot among the playtesters to hit with the new YOUTEK Graphene Instinct MP was the serve, where the added maneuverability helped our team generate tons of racquet head speed. "This was a great all-around racquet for serving," said Karly. "I found a good combination of control, power, maneuverability and spin. I could serve with a lot of pop without sacrificing control, it was lightweight so my arm didn't tire out as quickly, and if I needed to go for a second serve I was able to put a ton of kick behind the ball. Talk about an easy-to-use frame for serves! I just would've liked a little better feel. If I hit outside the sweetspot the racquet felt very unstable."
Holding a similar opinion was Brittany, who felt the racquet helped her with all of her different serves. She said, "Serves were hands down my favorite shot to hit with this racquet. I enjoyed hitting serves because I found a great combination of power, spin, maneuverability and placement. I was very confident hitting a flatter first serve because I was able to generate a lot of racquet head speed with ease. Additionally, I could tap into a more spin-friendly kick second serve that was consistent and well placed. Both of these serves allowed me to start the point on the offense."
Mike was loving how easy it was to generate racquet head speed and power on all his serves. He said, "Maneuverable, maneuverable, maneuverable! I loved this racquet for serving. I was hitting angles, and my flat serve -- as fellow tester Mark Boone would say -- was 'top notch, border-line incredible.' The racquet head speed I could generate made serving and getting free points so much easier. I didn't have to bend my legs as much to get the power I'm used to getting."
Chris used the extra racquet head speed to generate spin and bite on his serves. He said, "This racquet felt great on serves. I liked the spin I was getting, and the racquet felt very easy to whip through contact with pace. I was able to get some nice curve on my slice serves, either pulling my opponent wide or carving the serve into their body. I found the same attributes to ring true on overheads, and the maneuverable feel made it easy to snap the ball away. Again, comfort was very impressive, and it seemed the stringbed always offered some nice pocketing, no matter which string we put in it."
Similar themes rang true on returns. Our team found the maneuverability to be a plus but the lack of stability to be a negative when returning serve. Chris liked the racquet when returning offensively, but wanted more heft for his chip returns. He said, "Faster was better for me when it came to my swing speed on returns. I found if I wanted the racquet to feel solid I had to swing it fast. While a high swing speed suits the modern player and felt great when I was on the attack, I thought this racquet was slightly lacking when I tried to block the ball back. I would have liked some additional stability off center -- especially on a slower, more compact swing that a well placed serve can force me to use."
Karly found it easy to get the racquet into position on returns, but she had to hit it just right to be successful. She said, "The maneuverability was a great aspect that came into play while returning serve. I loved how simple it was to get the racquet on the ball. I was confident I could easily get the ball back into play when hitting against harder servers. I also felt like I could produce a lot of power with no sweat. All I needed to do was make contact with the ball to hit a powerful return, which was easy because of the exceptional maneuverability. However, I thought if I hit outside of the sweetspot the racquet felt especially unforgiving and unstable. There was very little comfort if I didn't hit in the center of the stringbed."
"I struggled at times with stability on returns," said Brittany. "When returning a harder than average serve, like TW playtester Andy's, I felt the racquet being pushed around and almost twisting in my hand. When I was returning a second serve or average first serve it wasn't as much of an issue, and I was able to take aggressive cuts at the serve."
Once again, Mike loved this racquet and felt totally dialed in returning serve. He said, "Returning was a piece of cake! I was consistent and could place the ball wherever I wanted, and I was surprised at how good the returns were that I was hitting. The feel was very comfortable, so that made it easy to really focus and make contact with the ball. I felt as if the ball stuck to the racquet for a longer period than normal, allowing me to really feel the ball on the stringbed."
Chris - "I liked the spin, the level of power, the comfort and the general feel of the racquet. I felt like I always knew where my shots were going, and I was finding my targets well."
Brittany - "I liked how easy and comfortable this racquet was to use, and how maneuverable it was."
Karly - "I loved the maneuverability and easy access to spin. Swinging this racquet was a cinch!"
Mike - "Feel, maneuverability, volleys... I loved everything about this racquet."
Chris - "Just not enough stability for me, and I'd be looking to add some weight to this one."
Brittany - "I found a lack of stability at times, which was especially noticeable on volleys and serve returns."
Karly - "The racquet felt too stiff for my taste."
Mike - "Nothing. Everything about the racquet works for my game."
Chris - "My favorite Instinct is still probably the Liquidmetal version. That racquet felt more solid than this one. I thought the YOUTEK IG version felt good but was not as comfortable as this one. While this racquet isn't as solid and crisp as the Babolat Pure Drive or AeroPro Drive, it did offer a softer and more comfortable feel."
Brittany - "I found it had a similar feel to the Head YOUTEK IG Instinct S, and both were very maneuverable. Additionally, I found it had similar characteristics to the Head YOUTEK IG Extreme 2.0 S and the Donnay Formula 100."
Karly - "I thought it played really similarly to the Head YOUTEK Graphene Speed MP racquet; both were extremely easy to use. They were maneuverable, felt very light and had a good combination of control and power. The main difference between the two is the power. I thought it was easier to generate power with the Instinct MP, and the Speed MP offered better control."
Mike - "I never actually used the previous version, but maybe I should since I loved this frame. Of all the racquets I've tested, the feel of this racquet was my favorite. I loved this racquet."

We offer two ways to locate information:
In 1997, the couple purchased a second property, some 44 miles southwest of the original Terrabianca nucleus: Il Tesoro di Terrabianca ("Treasure of Terrabianca"). Its 262 acres bring the Guldeners' total acreage to 334, and are a mere 6 miles from the sea, in Maremma - the new frontier of Tuscan viniculture. This recent acquisition focuses on the olive oils (from over 4,000 Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino olive trees, many of which some 300 years old!) and Sangiovese grapes that go into a youthful and appealing 100% varietal, La Fonte. Packaging and label for this wine (see photo) have been kept distinct from the rest of the line, although the product itself is also styled by Vittorio Fiore, Terrabianca wine-maker from day one.

- Transit Dependent Evacuation Planning for Kathmandu Valley: A Case Study (2014)
- Due to the increasing number of natural or man-made disasters, the application of operations research methods in evacuation planning has seen a rising interest in the research community. From the beginning, evacuation planning has been highly focused on car-based evacuation. Recently, also the evacuation of transit depended evacuees with the help of buses has been considered. In this case study, we apply two such models and solution algorithms to evacuate a core part of the metropolitan capital city Kathmandu of Nepal as a hypothetical endangered region, where a large part of population is transit dependent. We discuss the computational results for evacuation time under a broad range of possible scenarios, and derive planning suggestions for practitioners.
- Hierarchical Edge Colorings and Rehabilitation Therapy Planning in Germany (2014)
- In this paper we give an overview on the system of rehabilitation clinics in Germany in general and the literature on patient scheduling applied to rehabilitation facilities in particular. We apply a class-teacher model developed to this environment and then generalize it to meet some of the specific constraints of inpatient rehabilitation clinics. To this end we introduce a restricted edge coloring on undirected bipartite graphs which is called group-wise balanced. The problem considered is called patient-therapist-timetable problem with group-wise balanced constraints (PTTPgb). In order to specify weekly schedules further such that they produce a reasonable allocation to morning/afternoon (second level decision) and to the single periods (third level decision) we introduce (hierarchical PTTPgb). For the corresponding model, the hierarchical edge coloring problem, we present some first feasibility results.
- Sink Location to Find Optimal Shelters in Evacuation Planning (2014)
- The sink location problem is a combination of network flow and location problems: From a given set of nodes in a flow network a minimum cost subset \(W\) has to be selected such that given supplies can be transported to the nodes in \(W\). In contrast to its counterpart, the source location problem which has already been studied in the literature, sinks have, in general, a limited capacity. Sink location has a decisive application in evacuation planning, where the supplies correspond to the number of evacuees and the sinks to emergency shelters. We classify sink location problems according to capacities on shelter nodes, simultaneous or non-simultaneous flows, and single or multiple assignments of evacuee groups to shelters. Resulting combinations are interpreted in the evacuation context and analyzed with respect to their worst-case complexity status. There are several approaches to tackle these problems: Generic solution methods for uncapacitated problems are based on source location and modifications of the network. In the capacitated case, for which source location cannot be applied, we suggest alternative approaches which work in the original network. It turns out that latter class algorithms are superior to the former ones. This is established in numerical tests including random data as well as real world data from the city of Kaiserslautern, Germany.
- On the Generality of the Greedy Algorithm for Solving Matroid Base Problems (2013)
- It is well known that the greedy algorithm solves matroid base problems for all linear cost functions and is, in fact, correct if and only if the underlying combinatorial structure of the problem is a matroid. Moreover, the algorithm can be applied to problems with sum, bottleneck, algebraic sum or \(k\)-sum objective functions.
- Scheduling and Location (ScheLoc): Makespan Problem with Variable Release Dates (2007)
- While in classical scheduling theory the locations of machines are assumed to be fixed we will show how to tackle location and scheduling problems simultaneously. Obviously, this integrated approach enhances the modeling power of scheduling for various real-life problems. In this paper, we present in an exemplary way theory and a solution algorithm for a specific type of a scheduling and a rather general, planar location problem, respectively. More general results and a report on numerical tests will be presented in a subsequent paper.
- The Multi Terminal q-FlowLoc Problem: A Heuristic (2011)
- In this paper the multi terminal q-FlowLoc problem (q-MT-FlowLoc) is introduced. FlowLoc problems combine two well-known modeling tools: (dynamic) network flows and locational analysis. Since the q-MT-FlowLoc problem is NP-hard we give a mixed integer programming formulation and propose a heuristic which obtains a feasible solution by calculating a maximum flow in a special graph H. If this flow is also a minimum cost flow, various versions of the heuristic can be obtained by the use of different cost functions. The quality of this solutions is compared.
- Linear Optimization in School Mathematics (2003)
- Linear Optimization is an important area from applied mathematics. A lot of practical problems can be modelled and solved with this technique. This publication shall help to introduce this topic to pupils. The process of modelling, the reduction of problems to their significant attributes shall be described. The linear programms will be solved by using the simplex method. Many examples illustrate the topic.
- Bills of material and linear algebra (2003)
- This publication tries to develop mathematical subjects for school from realistic problems. The center of this report are business planning and decision problems which occur in almost all companies. The main topics are: Calculation of raw material demand for given orders, consumption of existing stock and the lot sizing.
- Locational planning in the Mathematics Curriculum of High Schools (2002)
- Dealing with problems from locational planning in schools can enrich the mathematical education. In this report we describe planar locational problems which can be used in mathematical lessons. The problems production of a semiconductor plate, design of a fire brigade building and the warehouse problem are from real-world. The problems are worked out detailed so that the usage for school lessons is possible.
- Multicriteria network location problems with sumb objectives (1999)
- In this paper network location problems with several objectives are discussed, where every single objective is a classical median objective function. We will lock at the problem of finding Pareto optimal locations and lexicographically optimal locations. It is shown that for Pareto optimal locations in undirected networks no node dominance result can be shown. Structural results as well as efficient algorithms for these multi-criteria problems are developed. In the special case of a tree network a generalization of Goldman's dominance algorithm for finding Pareto locations is presented.

Is that a typo arewethereyet?Bob
I don't think so, is that bad? Sounds like it might be.
Thank you everyone who has responded so far. I've been reading/replying from my phone, so I haven't had enough time to process all of the responses.However, I think I understand the basics of how I've messed up. Couple quick questions.If I get the cold fermentation process working correctly, what is acceptable time in the fridge? 24-72 hours?With the dough the way I had it, it started to smell like beer after day 2.

Comments about Centimetre Cubes, Set of 1000:
Most suppliers of similar cubes give a random number of a random set of colours. If you're after a specific number of cubes of specific colours this is the set to buy - out of the 1000 cubes there are almost exactly equal numbers of each colour.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Topic: Threading in Controllers
I'm tracking web statistics in my application through a database table. I have my reasons so don't go asking why I'm not using the apache log or whatever The obvious side effect is that there's a database insert for every action thats called. My thought was to spawn a new thread for these inserts so they would be asynchronous.
So I did some reading on threads, and my only question is about how threads are terminated based on the execution of the controller. According to Programming Ruby "When a Ruby program terminates, all running threads are killed, regardless of their states. However, you can wait for a particular thread to finish by calling that thread's Thread#join method."
Does this mean that if I spawn a thread within the controller, and the thread takes longer to run than the controller, it will be prematurely terminated? If so, would the join method screw up the flow of the controller?

Watch Justin Bieber's Faith and Challenges on PBS. See more from Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly.
You don't have to "get" Justin Bieber. Just look around and listen to your teenage nieces or your pre-teen neighbors living next door. It's more than just a love affair with the seventeen-year-old singer and pop star. He's a heroic figure to many of his fans, so I get what Cathleen Falsani means when she uses the word "prophetic" to describe him (although I do, admittedly, cringe a bit hearing her making the declaration).
In this interview with PBS' Religion & Ethics Newsweekly, the author of Belieber!: Fame, Faith and the Heart of Justin Bieber discusses the cultural icon's religious background, the role of faith in Bieber's life, and how the young Evangelical Christian talks about his faith in ways that make his fellow Christians uncomfortable.

Gloria Mary Christy Fargo
Gloria Mary Christy Far-go passed away peacefully on May 14, 2013.
Gloria was born April 17, 1924, in Lackawanna, N.Y., and raised in Jamestown near Chautauqua Lake. She entertained all who met her with stories of her childhood there, especially the fact that she and Lucille Ball were from the same small town. Although she lost both parents at a young age, nothing could quench the spirit that propelled her through life.
Gloria is survived by her husband of 65 years, Jarvis Fargo; son, Jeffrey and his wife, Heidi Fargo; daughter, Jennifer and her husband, John Lathrop: and four, as Gloria would say, "perfect grand- children:" Brooke, David, Laurel and Ellen.
Gloria met Jarvis when he returned from World War II, and attended Alfred University extension in Jamestown, on the GI Bill. They married in 1947 and spent the first years of their marriage in Alfred, N.Y., where their son, Jeff was born.
After Jarvis graduated, they moved to Corning, where daughter, Jennifer was born. Then in 1957, Gloria and Jarvis made the adventurous decision to go West, settling in southern California. After staying home with the children until they were in junior high school, Gloria began working for the Glendale, California School District in 1962. Beginning as a data processor, she eventually took on the responsibility for printing all the progress reports, schedules and report cards for the entire district. When she retired, two people were hired to replace her. She wasn't just a hard working employee though. On one memorable event, she attended the school board meeting to protest a requirement that employees work on Christ-mas Eve day, comparing them to Scrooge.
After retiring in 1988, Gloria and Jarvis moved to The Villages, a retirement community in San Jose. Thus began almost 20 years of golf, travel and friendships new and old. As health needs arose, Gloria and Jarvis moved up the peninsula, ending up in Santa Clara.
Gloria enriched the lives of all who knew her. As she laughingly reminded family members, one of her high school English teachers told her, "Gloria, some people will like you, some won't, but nobody will be neutral."
As for this family, we all loved, admired and were enriched by Gloria, the spark of the family, the heart of our lives. Gloria's indomitable spirit was inspirational. She always maintained that we could achieve any goal no matter how impossible it seemed. And she set the example with her own life.
Services will be held Saturday, June 1, at 10 a.m. at Pacific Gardens Assisted Living, 2384 Pacific Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95051 408- 985-5252

AOpen AX4B Max Motherboard ReviewTodays board the AX4B Max uses Intels 845D chipset which brings DDR to the 100Mhz FSB processors. This chipset is targeted to the lower end market. When properly tweaked the 845D can offer performance that rivals the 850 at a considerably lower cost.
June 20th, 2002
FIC VC15 Motherboard ReviewFIC has been around since the 80's and produces motherboards, video cards, PC systems and mobile devices. They've made a name for themselves in the low-cost basic boards arena. The Intel 845D chipset is geared directly towards that.
May 30th, 2002
Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra Motherboard ReviewSince the release of the KT266, Soyo has been producing a fine line of "Dragon" named motherboards that include plenty of onboard goodies that are geared more towards the high end market. What does the KT333 offer over the older KT266a? Really only two things. The first one is the ability to run your memory asynchronous with your CPU bus. When your processor is running on a 133/266 bus, you can have your RAM running at 166/333 at the same time. This gives you a 25% increase in theoretical memory bandwidth. The second new feature is an improvement in the South Bridge to support ATA 133.
May 15th, 2002
Epox 8K3A+ Motherboard ReviewEpox has been catering towards the more extreme overclocking crowd for a while now. I've been voltage modding boards for a while now and Epox has been taking the fun out of things lately by offering the kinds of voltages that would normally require a resistor being soldered onto a small IC chip.
April 17th, 2002
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU Motherboard ReviewMSI is one company that is always one of the first to release a VIA chipset or any chipset for the AMD Athlon. MSI has very close ties with VIA and AMD. They are always among the very first to bring boards for a new chipset to market.
April 3rd, 2002
Gigabyte GA-7VTX Motherboard ReviewGigabyte is a well known and generally well-trusted motherboard manufacturer. They are also known for their regular and early support of AMD's latest and greatest. The GA-7VTX is a Socket A board based on the VIA KT266 chipset. The two major improvements this chipset brings to the table (over the recently declared, ancient KT133[A]) are Double Data Rate SDRAM and V-Link which is VIA's answer to Intel's interlink bus (dubbed the Interlink Hub Architecture).
December 7th, 2001
Soyo SY-K7V Dragon ReviewThe SOYO SY-K7V Dragon is a Socket-A board based on the VIA KT266. This board is geared toward the overclocking market with plenty of features which we will explore later in this review. One thing to note about this board is that it used VIAs KT266 chipset which is competitive slower against AMD 760/1 and SiS 735 chipsets.
October 16th, 2001
Epox 8K7A Socket A Motherboard ReviewEpox is not one of the better-known motherboard manufacturers out there, but this board certainly moves them in the right direction. Using a DDR supported hybrid chipset combination of the AMD 761 North Bridge and the much talked about VIA VT82686B South Bridge, this board is more about setting up a machine from scratch than upgrading from a previous setup.
July 11th, 2001
AOpen AK73 - 1394 Socket A Motherboard ReviewEven though the updated version of the VIA KT133 chipset, the KT133A, was released a number of months ago AOpen choose to use the older version for their AK73-Pro and AK73-1394 motherboards. The only tangible drawback of this for end users is the lack of support for the 133 MHz DDR FSB Athlon CPUs; however, this could be a key feature for some peoples system plans. The upside is that using the older chipset will reduce the cost of the board and money saved is always a good thing.
May 29th, 2001
Iwill DVD266-R Dual Socket 370 Motherboard ReviewWe dont get too many dual mobos coming through these parts, but when we do I am always slightly more giddy than usual. There is something about being at the helm of two phat CPUs that I find most excellent, which you already know if youve read our last dual mobo review, that of the EPoX D3VA.
May 22nd, 2001
Soyo SY-7VDA Socket 370 Motherboard ReviewThe Apollo Pro 266 chipset is VIAs latest offering for the Intel Pentium III processor. As the successor to the Apollo Pro 133A, the 266 is a significant release on several fronts, the reasons for which we will take a look at in a moment. The 266 is comprised of the VT8633 V-Link Host North Bridge and the VT8233 V-Link Client South Bridge (V-Link is one of the significant improvements). The South Bridge is quite similar to the 686B except the 8233 contains the PCI bus interface, it can support up to 6 USB ports, and it has an integrated 10/100 Ethernet controller.
May 11th, 2001
Soyo K7VTA-B Socket A Motherboard ReviewThe Soyo K7VTA-B is an updated version of the K7VTA which was released back in November 2000. The major differences are the newer 82C686B south bridge (up from the 82C686A) and better overclocking support (namely in the way of an added clock multiplier setting). Since both boards make use of the aging VIA KT133 chipset, Soyo has also released the K7VTA Pro which uses the updated KT133A. Here is a terse comparison table between the three.
April 13th, 2001
Gigabyte GA-7ZXR Rev2.1 Socket A Motherboard ReviewAnother forerunner, the original GA-7ZX was one of the first Socket-A motherboards available based on VIAs KT133 chipset, although it wasnt anything special. Over time Gigabyte has continued to develop the board and the latest version is the GA-7ZXR rev2.1 which is very much improved mobo.
April 3rd, 2001
Soyo 7IS2 Socket 370 Motherboard ReviewThe SY-7IS2 is a Socket370 motherboard based on the Intel i815EP chipset. The i815E introduced ATA100 and a second USB controller to the i815 chipset and the only major difference with the i815EP is the removal of onboard video.
March 29th, 2001
Epox 8KTA3 Socket A Motherboard ReviewEPoX has its own trick up its sleeve and its called the 8KTA3. This mobo is quite a departure from the previous 8KTAx boards with not only a newer chipset, but a drastically different layout as well. The most likely reason for this is because the older design couldnt handle the faster FSB speeds that the KT133A sports. The benefit for end users is greater stability which is always a welcome improvement.
March 5th, 2001
Shuttle AV32 Socket 370 Motherboard ReviewThe coolest feature on the AV32 is the support for both DDR and SDR SDRAM which is ideal for people who already own PC100 / PC133 RAM. Despite this, having the ability to use either type of SDRAM is extremely useful and will save you a fair chunk of change if you already own SDR SDRAM. If you dont already own that RAM, there is much less of a reason to purchase this board because having the two types of DIMM slots on the board increases its price.
February 26th, 2001
FIC AZ11E Socket A Motherboard ReviewFIC has been very quick at the gate when it comes to AMD-based motherboards. Their Slot A based SD11 was one of the first available for the Athlon when it debuted in the summer of 1999. At that time, most motherboard manufacturers shied away from supporting AMDs newest chip. MSI, Gigabyte, and FIC, on the other hand, took the Athlon and ran with it much to their benefit. As time passed, more and more manufacturers realized what that the Athlon was in fact a contender in the CPU arena and support for it grew quickly.
January 29th, 2001
Epox 3SPA3 ReviewThe Epox 3SPA3 is equipped with a newer version of the i815 chipset, referred to as the i815EP (Intel sure loves adding letters onto their product codes, dont they?). Before this version came the i815E which introduced a second USB controller as well as support for ATA 100. The major difference with the i815EP is the removal of the on-board video (hallelujah!) which both the original i815 and i815E feature.
January 23rd, 2001
Epox D3VA ReviewA common denominator between most computer enthusiasts is the wish list. These lists are usually comprised of either really expensive or really extravagant items that hold only a faint hope of ever being purchased. One item that shows up more often than any other (for the power users anyway) is a dual processor system. Up until recently, SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) based systems were privy solely to the high-workstation and server markets, well out of the price range for the majority of consumers. Thankfully, things have changed.
December 4th, 2000
Epox 3VCA2+ ReviewThe Epox 3VCA2+ is an updated version of the 3VCA2 model, which itself is an updated model of the original 3VCA that was released about 8 months ago. Some of the issues regarding the original board, such as a lack of CPU core voltage configuration, have been ironed out in these newer models, making this board a much more attractive solution to overclockers.
November 23rd, 2000
Epox Socket A 8KTA2 ReviewFirst came the Epox 8KTA. Then, the 8KTA+. And now... it's the 8KTA2! The differences between the three boards are subtle because they all are based on the VIA KT133 ATX Chipset. Within this subtlety, however, lie some sweet improvements. The most significant differences were introduced by the 8KTA+ which greatly improved the board's overclocking capabilities most visibly striking was the addition of a heatsink to the VT8363 NorthBridge Controller.

Potential for Sandy scams prompts warnings
November 1st, 2012 by Ric Hanson
No sooner than the floodwaters had receded and high winds from Superstorm Sandy faded, another threat is arising with the inevitable appearance of the scammer and the conman. Authorities warn of the likelihood of Sandy-related fraud reaching far beyond the storm zone — from bogus charities seeking donations, to home repair scams and sales of flood-damaged vehicles. State attorneys general, business and consumer groups and the Justice Department are among those cautioning consumers to be wary as requests for donations start arriving via email, text message, telephone and Twitter.
The bottom line: Maintain a healthy skepticism when pitched by solicitors, contractors and groups you don't know, and give your money to charities and businesses you have reason to trust.
