Palm Beach County emergency crews fear 'hurricane amnesia' among residents this storm season
It's been nine years since Hurricane Wilma
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- - Nearly a decade has passed since the last hurricane made landfall in Florida and Palm Beach County Emergency Management crews now worry the time has created a dangerous amount of complacency.
Nine seasons ago, Hurricane Wilma whipped through Palm Beach County. The storm created gusts up to 120 miles per hour, ripped homes apart and left thousands without power for weeks.
"When the winds did start, I just thought that I could be blow away. My home could be blown away. Everything could be blown away," said Jean Hall who rode Wilma out from her Wellington home.
After experiencing the devastation of Wilma, Hall got prepared in all aspects of her life.
"It was scary. It was like where do I go? Where's my safe spot?" said Hall.
That was nearly a decade ago. In that time, the county worries some have forgotten about how devastating a hurricane can be to a resident.
"What I'm most concerned about, as I'm terming now, is hurricane amnesia," said Bill Johnson at the Palm Beach County Emergency Operation Center.
Johnson said it is a combination of a growing elderly population, young people getting older and an influx of new residents who have never experienced a hurricane.
If someone does not have a plan in place, Johnson said it hurts those who need help the most.
"There are only so many fire trucks. Only so many police vehicles and we're going to have to prioritize what we can respond to," said Johnson.
Palm Beach County EOC managers said everyone needs to know where they are going. If they stay, they need to have supplies.
Hall said it is better to be ready than learn the hard way.
"We should never let our guard down when it comes to hurricane season. I think we all should be fully prepared that it could be something catastrophic again," said Hall.

I have a manufactured home in Massachusetts. The home has a 12' x 24' "3 Season" room. The room is actually used year-round because it has electric baseboard heat, a woodstove, and is connected to my central air. All of the windows are roughly 4' x 5' thermopane sliding windows. The room was manufactured by Silver-Top in Maryland (silver-top.com). The type of roof is their metal "bridge-braced" (curved). The walls above and below the windows are 2" with a foamboard insulation core. The interior ceiling is suspended with insulation between the ceiling panels and the metal roof. The insulation is pink in plastic bags. There is no vapor barrier so I have an incredible condensation problem causing the ceiling panels to become stained. I am going to remove the suspended ceiling and install beadboard to follow the curve of the roog. I'll have approximately 3" between the beadboard and the metal roof in which I intend to install insulation. Questions: How do I prevent condensation?
What type of insulation would provide the best R-value? (foam panels, fiberglass, blown-in expanding foam,....)
Should I and how would I vent this space?
Should I use beadboard panels?
Thanks for any and all help!
I also have a metal roof. I would re-post this under the "roofing" topic and I'm sure you'll get some replies- I did!!!
Yopu cannot do any better than a spray in place urethene foam. Corbond is one brand name.
you could also consider Icythene foam, but it does not provide the same R-value and is not a vapour barrier.
Excellence is its own reward!

Eat Down the House: Star Anise Beef Stew with Bok Choy
Star Anise Beef Stew with Bok Choy
The Eat Down the House Challenge, is to go without grocery shopping, and eat from the stock in the fridge and pantry.
Please welcome guest blogger Sonia, my oldest sister and Restaurant Baby #1, as she eats down her house with beef stew. ~Madeline
The good 'ol beef stew typically conjures up a "just-like-Mom-used-to-make" sentiment. However in Restaurant Baby household, we did not eat traditional Western beef stews. Beef stew did not hold a special place in my heart.
It wasn't that I did not enjoy a good beef stew, but there was never a craving or a fond memory associated with this classic American comfort food. Well, that all changed on a journey down into the Grand Canyon a few years ago. My friend Tommy and I decided to hike all the way down and back up the Grand Canyon on a free weekend.
Many a good memories came from that trip, and one of them is the Hiker's beef stew dinner at the Phantom Ranch. Maybe it was the whole day of hiking, maybe it is the crack they put in the stew . . . either way it was awesome. To this day, a good bowl of stew brings back memories from that trip. What memories do you have with your favorite comfort foods?
The beef stew made today is from Nina Simonds' Spices of Life . The inspiration came from a half bottle of red wine in the fridge, some accidentally half-frozen bok choy and carrots at the bottom the veggie drawer, and a couple of questionable onions. I love the star anise flavor in this; it totally made the stew!

Star Anise Beef Stew with Bok Choy
Adapted from Spices of Life by Nina Simonds
- 2 pounds beef stewing meat (chuck or bottom round)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed lightly
- 6 small onions (1 pound), peeled and cut into 6 wedges
- 1 ½ whole star anise, smashed lightly with the flat side of a knife
- 1 cup rice wine or sake
- 1 cup red wine
- ½ cup reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound carrots cut in half lengthwise and then into 1 ½-inch lengths
- 1 bunch bok choy, for 4-6 cups of greens and stalks when chopped until 2-inch lengths
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the meat into 1 ½-inch cubes. Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper on a plate. Coat the meat with the seasoned flour by rolling the pieces on the plate.
Heat a 4-6 quart Dutch oven and add 1 ½ tablespoon oil. When it is very hot, add a batch of the beef and brown on all sides over medium-high heat. Remove from the pan and set aside. Heat the remaining oil, fry the remaining beef, and remove and set aside.
Add the garlic, onions, and star anise to the pot. Fry briefly over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice wine, red wine, and chicken broth and stir to mix together. Add the beef cubes and carrots, and bring the liquid to a boil.
Cover tightly and place on the middle shelf of the preheated oven. Bake for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally. While the stew is baking, wash the bok choy and chop stalks into 2-inch portions. Separate out the thick stalks from the leafy greens. Add the thick bok choy stalks to the beef stew after 1 hour. Add the green leafy portions of bok choy when there is 10 minutes left in the oven.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with steamed rice, noodles, or spelt.

The Top 50 3PLs
July 02, 2012 - SCMR Editorial
|Download Article PDF
European sovereign debt issues, a tepid U.S. recovery, and a hard landing in emerging markets—among a slew of factors—could provide macroeconomic shocks to the third party logistics (3PL) industry, say leading market analysts. Still, many catalysts are expected to drive merger and acquisition activity over the
rest of 2012.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the transportation and logistics industry continues to be highly cyclical. "A continuing theme in the first half of this year has been infrastructure deals, particularly in emerging markets, that reached a historic high in the logistics sector," says Ken Evans, U.S. transportation and logistics leader at PwC. In fact, in the first quarter of 2012, the proportion of deal volume involving infrastructure targets leapt to a 12-year high. This "secular trend" toward more infrastructure privatizations and transactions, adds Evans, also drove the relative increase in 3PL "deal value" and volume as a percent of the overall merger and acquisition market during the first quarter.
"Overall, logistics deal activity seems more likely to rise than fall given continued global economic expansion and the secular trend of rising infrastructure concessions," says Evans.

A female broad-tailed hummingbird (Selasphorus platycercus) visits flowers of tall larkspur (Delphinium barbeyi). Larkspur is one of several wildflowers that are important nectar resources for migratory hummingbirds to reproduce successfully during the summer.
More About This Image
In a research study funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (grant DEB 09-22080), David Inouye and Amy McKinney of the University of Maryland and colleagues found that the lilies are blooming some 17 days earlier than they did in the 1970s. This means that their blooming is no longer in synch with the arrival of the hummingbirds that rely on the nectar. By the time the hummingbirds arrive, many of the flowers have withered away along with their nectar-filled blooms.
Each spring, the broad-tailed hummingbirds fly north from Central America to the Western U.S. Here in these high-mountain breeding grounds they will raise their young over the short mountain summer. Males actually arrive before the flowers bloom to scout for territory.
But, says Inouye and McKinney, the time between the arrival of the first hummingbird and the first bloom has collapsed by 13 days over the past four decades. "In some years," says McKinney, "the lilies have already bloomed by the time the first hummingbird lands."
Broad-tailed hummingbirds that breed farther south in states like Arizona, however, are less affected. Inouye says there is no obvious narrowing of the timing between the first arriving males and the first blooms of their favored flowering plant, the nectar-containing Indian paintbrush.
Global warming is happening faster in the higher latitudes, making these areas more likely to get out of sync ecologically. At the rate things are going, if the snowmelt continues to occur earlier in the spring, bringing earlier flowering, then the mountains will bloom with lilies long before the hummingbirds can finish their migratory journey north.

Camous brings home state title
By: Matt Long
First wrestler from Folsom High to be a state champion
Tianna Camous has wrestled all season on one good knee and in the biggest match of her high school career Saturday she essentially wrestled with one good eye. Camous hasn't let torn knee ligaments bother her all season and when her contact lens was knocked out of her left eye early in the first period of the state championship bout in the 122-pound weight class on Saturday at Lemoore High School, Camous took it all in stride. "I just kept my distance and turned away quick and grabbed my contact and put it in my mouth," Camous explained. "At the end of the period I gave it to my sister and wrestled the rest of the match with one contact." Camous continued on and worked up a 3-0 lead over Sabrina Samaniego of Andrew Hill High School, earning two near-fall points late in the match with a cradle as the final seconds ticked off the clock. "The girl just broke out of a cradle with about 10 seconds to go and Tianna was basically hanging on," Folsom High assistant wrestling coach Bill Bolton said. "It wouldn't have taken much for her opponent to get a reversal and win the match. It could have went bad, but you knew Tianna wasn't going to let go. Before the match was over you could see Tianna start crying. When the final bell sounded the emotions went flying." "I was excited, "Camous said. "I wouldn't say I went crazy, but I cried a little and hugged the coaches, my family and some of my friends from other teams. It still feels surreal. I'm glad all my work paid off." Camous won all four matches of the tournament to finish her senior season as an undefeated state champion with 38 wins against no losses with an astonishing 31 pins. She's Folsom High's first state wrestling champion. "I've been knocking heads with her for six or seven years and I'm really proud of her," Bolton said. "She's a phenomenal athlete and I just love the girl. She's a true champion and she's earned it." Camous opened the tournament with a 25-second pin over Kendra Wiley of Menlo-Atherton before working up a 5-0 lead over Siwen Dickstein of Mission San Jose in the second round before another first-period pin in 1:42. In the semifinals facing one of the pre-tournament favorites in Alyssa Luna of West Covina, Camous got an early lead and then earned some back points and worked up a commanding 8-1 lead before pinning her midway through the second period. "I was nervous before the match, but confident," Camous said. "I knew I had the skill and ability to beat her and I knew that I just had to be patient. I was surprised that I was able to pin her so fast." Camous thanks her family for sticking with her through the years, as well as coaches Tony Rios, Bolton and Lupe Rangel. "They were with me all the way and they would always get on me when I wanted to quit," Camous said. "They always told me if I did what they said it would get me where I needed to be." Her parents, Monica and Jerry, were thrilled for their daughter's accomplishment. "It was an amazing feeling for me," Monica said. "I was so nervous when I was watching the match my hands were shaking. I knew she could do it but there are so many variables you never know what's going to happen. You knew she was either going to accomplish her goal and go undefeated and win a state title or end with one loss. It was like a dream, so exciting." Both Monica and Jerry gave Tianna all the credit for her accomplishment, saying she did it all on her own. "I learned a lot from her," Jerry said. "I was reluctant to let her wrestle originally, but she taught me to get out of the way and I was grateful to be along for the ride. She taught me about believing in oneself and perseverance. As a parent, I learned you just have to be supportive and get out of their way and let them succeed. You just have to unlock the door for them, provide them the opportunity, and they'll open the door and take it from there." Camous said she also learned a lot about her wrestling experiences. "I learned that you have to believe in yourself," Camous said. "I think my lack of success last year was because I had no self-confidence. This year I learned to believe in myself and learned that if I did that I can do anything." Camous has already been rewarded for her success on the mat, as she's earned a wrestling scholarship to Lindenwood University in Missouri. "To win a state title is one thing, and Tianna's our first to do it, but to do it with an unbeaten record is whole other level," Folsom High wrestling coach Mike Collier said. "It's just an outstanding accomplishment and I'm really proud of her. She's a pioneer for us and I'm sure we will continue to get more female wrestlers because of her success."

Thirty-eight-year-old Dianne Tucker was released from jail Wednesday. She had served one year behind bars. The judge handling the case said it was the "just and reasonable," thing to do.
A recent medical examination showed that at the time of the alleged murder, Tucker's sister, Victoria Banks, could not conceive.
Defense attorneys argue that Tucker, her sister and her sister's estranged husband, Medell Banks all suffer from mental disorders and therefore were coerced to plead guilty to manslaughter. All were sentenced to 15-years in prison.
With her release, Tucker will be home in time to see her 77-year-old father, who is under hospice care dying from cancer.

BAGHDAD—Soldiers with the 2nd "Dagger" Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, United States Division – Center recently trained six Soldiers with the 6th Iraqi Army Division's Medical Field Unit on physical therapy and pharmacy operations at Riva Ridge Troop Medical Clinic at Camp Liberty, Iraq.
The training was intended to help increase the knowledge base and experience level of the 6th IA Div. MFU's personnel, as well as help encourage a greater dialogue between U.S. and Iraqi medical Soldiers.
"[This training] helps build enduring capabilities in the IA as U.S. forces start to draw down under the security agreement outlined by the two governments and we lose a lot of our direct partnerships," said Lt. Col. William Johnson, deputy Stability Transition Team leader attached to 1st Battalion, 63rd Armor Regiment, 2nd AAB, 1st Inf. Div., USD-C, who works with the 6th IA Div. on a daily basis. "So I think it helps to maximize our opportunities right now, while we're here, to do partnership training, to show some of the techniques, the way we do things, (and learn from) the way (the IA) are already doing things, especially in the (MFU)."
Increasing the knowledge each army's medical personnel have of the capabilities of the other side is crucial as well.
"By getting the two sides together, we break the barrier between the two sides," said IA Capt. Mohammed, the doctor in charge of the 6th IA Div. MFU. "The American medics often do not know the capabilities of Iraqi medical staff, and vice versa.
Mohammed said this sort of training is the way to solve that, and also emphasized the importance of having skilled enlisted personnel in his formation.
"We have to depend on them," Mohammed said. "They are a very important part, and we rely on them very much, in addition to the officers."
The six Soldiers present at the training were broken up into two groups – four went with Capt. Sarah Baker, physical therapist with C Company, 299th Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd AAB, 1st Inf. Div., USD-C, to augment their knowledge of physical therapy. Two others went to learn more about pharmacy operations with Sgt. Michelle Mendoza, a pharmacy specialist also with C Co., and a Jersey City, N.J., native.
"They already know things, they have a pharmacy [at their base], but they didn't know how we run our pharmacy," Mendoza said.
She took the two Soldiers on a tour of the pharmacy at Riva Ridge, explaining the daily operations of a U.S. pharmacy, its layout, and also how to treat trauma patients.
Mendoza said the IA Soldiers were intrigued by the logistics of maintaining proper amounts of prescription drugs in stock.
Baker showed the four Soldiers in the physical therapy training session stretches, rehabilitation equipment such as balance balls, and monitoring technologies, used to check on a patient's progress.
The MFU Soldiers were well-equipped and trained even before the training, Johnson said.
"[The MFU] is a well-organized, well-staffed, fully-functional clinic, but it never hurts to do partnership training and joint training with other organizations just to broaden your expertise and broaden your knowledge base," he said.
Mohammed said he was happy with the instruction given by the Dagger medical personnel.
"I asked Lt. Col. Johnson to prepare for such training, because this is a new experience for my men, to come in here and look at the new advances in pharmacy and physical therapy (techniques) and to add to their experience, that they already have, to have a look at how things are going on at American hospitals or American clinics," he said. "I am very satisfied at what is going on."
Looking forward, plans are already in the works for future engagements of this kind, Johnson said.
"This definitely won't be the last partnership training we do," he said. "There are a number of them set up, and I think the training will only strengthen the capabilities of both sides."

Time to Revisit AT&T-EchoStar?
In many respects — surging oil prices, weak credit demand — 2008 is looking a lot like 2007, to the chagrin of investors. The new year could also echo its predecessor in another way: by continuing to nurture speculation of a purchase of EchoStar by AT&T.
With the start of trading yesterday of EchoStar's spinoff, one obstacle to an AT&T purchase of the company appears to be removed. Should AT&T have discussed such a deal with EchoStar before the spinoff, it could have triggered a hefty tax payment; also, the spinoff of EchoStar's technology and satellite-infrastructure assets leaves the company with only the part that AT&T really wants: EchoStar's satellite-TV-service business.
Strength of AT&T's shares — they are up 18% in the past year — may also embolden the telephone giant to make a move. It now has a market cap of about $250 billion, compared with just $15 billion for what is left of EchoStar.
Of course, there is another bottleneck that AT&T-EchoStar enthusiasts must reckon with: auctions for wireless-communications spectrum that both companies have registered for. Auction rules that restrict communications between bidders could cool any ambitions AT&T might have for a few months longer. (There is also always the possibility that AT&T is more interested in EchoStar rival DirecTV.)
But if it is going to make a move, it is doubtful AT&T wants to wait too much longer, given what a large impact such a deal would have on its plans to build a TV service to compete with its new archrivals Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

A regular expression (regex or regexp for short) is a special text string for describing a search pattern. You can think of regular expressions as wildcards on steroids. You are probably familiar with wildcard notations such as *.txt to find all text files in a file manager. The regex equivalent is .*\.txt$.
But you can do much more with regular expressions. In a text editor like EditPad Pro or a specialized text processing tool like PowerGREP, you could use the regular expression \b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b to search for an email address. Any email address, to be exact. A very similar regular expression (replace the first \b with ^ and the last one with $) can be used by a programmer to check if the user entered a properly formatted email address. In just one line of code, whether that code is written in Perl, PHP, Java, a .NET language or a multitude of other languages.
If you just want to get your feet wet with regular expressions, take a look at the one-page regular expression quick start. While you can't learn to efficiently use regular expressions from this brief overview, it's enough to be able to throw together a bunch of simple regular expressions. Each section in the quick start links directly to detailed information in the tutorial.
Do not worry if the above example or the quick start make little sense to you. Any non-trivial regex looks daunting to anybody not familiar with them. But with just a bit of experience, you will soon be able to craft your own regular expressions like you have never done anything else. The free Regular-Expressions.info Tutorial explains everything bit by bit.
This tutorial is quite unique because it not only explains the regex syntax, but also describes in detail how the regex engine actually goes about its work. You will learn quite a lot, even if you have already been using regular expressions for some time. This will help you to understand quickly why a particular regex does not do what you initially expected, saving you lots of guesswork and head scratching when writing more complex regexes.
There are many software applications and programming languages that support regular expressions. If you are a programmer, you can save yourself lots of time and effort. You can often accomplish with a single regular expression in one or a few lines of code what would otherwise take dozens or hundreds.
If you are not a programmer, you use regular expressions in many situations just as well. They will make finding information a lot easier. You can use them in powerful search and replace operations to quickly make changes across large numbers of files. A simple example is gr[ae]y which will find both spellings of the word grey in one operation, instead of two. There are many text editors and search and replace tools with decent regex support.
If you're hungry for more information on regular expressions after reading this website, there are a variety of books on the subject.

Coco Austin "Slings" a Swimsuit Selfie — She Might As Well Be Nude! (NSFW PHOTO)
We're cuckoo for Coco pics! No, really, she's sorta making us crazy with her salacious social media snapshots — the latest being an August 7 selfie in which she wears a stringy swimsuit that shows off just about everything.
"Happy slingThursday," she writes in the caption to this Twitter photo. Uh, Coco, Borat called — and he wants his slingshot swimsuit back.
(And girl, stop trying to make "slingThursday" happen. It's not going to happen.)
Mrs. Ice-T (born Nicole Natalie Marrow) also includes a link to her fitness app, "Coco's Workout World," in case you too want a slingsuit-ready bod.
The app's description says that Coco has the Internet's most-searched booty and that you can get a badonkadonk too with "signature moves" like "twerking" and "the starfish."
But getting back to this pic: Is it just us, or does Coco's sling-suit look awfully uncomfortable? We're not sure we want all that elastic force pressing up against our nether regions. But the 35-year-old sure seems to be grinning and baring bearing it.
Would you ever wear a swimsuit this revealing? Or do you prefer your swimwear to have, you know, fabric? Let us know your level of brazenness in the comments below.

Clarkson in
The Devils will make one lineup change for tonight's Game 4 vs. Ottawa, inserting rookie right wing David Clarkson for Mike Rupp. It is unknown if Rupp is a healthy scratch or injured. Rupp played only three shifts in Game 3 and has seen limited ice time throughout the playoffs skating on the fourth line.
Clarkson also played in Game 1 vs. Ottawa when Patrik Elias was sidelined with the flu. He had three goals and one assist in seven games with the Devils during the regular season.

Hideo Nakata's Latest Maze of Death, "Chaos"
by Steve Erickson
An exceedingly grim Hitchcockian riff, Hideo Nakata's "Chaos" is a thriller as obsessed with narrative intricacy as film gets. Compared in Kino's press release to "Pulp Fiction," although it's far harder to follow, this film's spiraling plot is more than just a trick. If Tarantino used his convoluted structure to resurrect a sympathetic character, Nakata uses his to emphasize everyone's essential dirtiness. A despicable person soon winds up as a victim, and vice versa. To lift a phrase from Philip K. Dick, it's a maze of death.
Nakata is best known -- to say the least -- for his 1998 horror film "Ring," which spawned two sequels and a prequel in Japan, as well as Korean and American remakes. ("Chaos" is currently being remade by Jonathan Glazer with Robert de Niro and Benicio del Toro.) The popularity of "Ring" led to a whole wave of Japanese horror films. However, it suffered from a flaccid middle third and an ending blatantly designed as a sequel setup. By contrast, "Chaos" is so tightly plotted that it leaves the awkward structure of "Ring" in the dust. Even so, Nakata has reached higher levels of dread elsewhere, particularly in his more recent "Dark Water."
As "Chaos" begins, businessman Takayuki Komiyama (Ken Mitsuihi) is enjoying lunch with his wife (Miki Nakatani.) He soon returns to his office. Immediately, he receives a phone call informing him that she has been kidnapped. With his apartment full of cops, he gets another call asking him to meet the kidnapper. However, the kidnapper eventually extorts money from his victim's sister. Then the screen fades to black, and we see these events from Mrs. Komiyama's point of view. It turns out that she knows the kidnapper, Goro Kuroda (Masato Hagiwara), and that they have arranged a fake abduction in order to test Takayuki's faithfulness. She seems to enjoy the situation, especially when Goro ties her up.
If it sounds like I'm giving away too much of the plot, trust me: I'm not. The screen cuts to black for the first time at the 20-minute mark, continuing to do so periodically. These cuts indicate a shift in protagonist and time. Takayuki is the initial protagonist, then his wife, then Goro. As each character progresses further and further, they begin to resemble icons in a video game, every "level" (represented by a cut to black) bringing the audience closer to the heart of the story. Mrs. Komiyama even describes her relationship with Goro as a game of tag. "Chaos" never overtly references computers, but it describes a version of virtual reality: an imaginary situation becoming real and doppelgangers coming to life.
Even so, there's something rather arid about Nakata's convoluted story. For all its bite, it never quite connects to the real world. The characters feel like secondhand anti-heroes, femme and homme fatales. Kenji Kawai's score pulses with tom-toms and bass drums as if trying to kickstart their hearts. Many of its exteriors are almost paradoxically sunny and pretty, counteracting the rest of the film's neo-noir feel.
Fear of technology, whether TV and video ("Ring") or the Internet (Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Pulse" and the anime series "Serial Experiment Lain"), has been a recurring thread in recent Japanese films. "Ring" clicks with genuine worries about video technology's potentially harmful aesthetic and moral impact. "Chaos," which depicts a world where physical and financial desire trump any sense of responsibility or family ties, won't be mistaken for an ode to the Japanese bourgeoisie. On the other hand, it never feels like a real portrait of Japanese society, just three extremely screwed-up people and a director and screenwriter who use them as though they're participating in a cockfight.
Eventually, the cuts to black become meaningless. Time shifts back and forth, with a major revelation about each character coming every other minute. Each detail is important. For instance, the entire plot turns around the reason why Takayuki wears a bandage around his right hand. Paradoxically, the film may be best seen if one knows nothing about it, but that state may also make it incomprehensible. Considering the utterly cynical 90 minutes that preceded the ending's dark romanticism, it doesn't ring true, but Nakata's gloomy vision of mutually assured destruction loses none of its power. Love will tear his characters apart.

Some would categorize the 2012-2013 season for the Indiana Pacers as a success, others might say it was a failure. One thing everyone can agree on is the fact that the Pacers were one strong quarter away from the first NBA Finals appearance since the 2000-2001 season. The Miami Heat were pushed to seven games and Indiana almost pulled off the upset on the defending champs, but a fellow by the name of LeBron James had other plans. So while watching the Heat celebrate yet another title, the Indiana front office made some moves that not only filled the holes that were present before, but bolstered the roster with even more talent, skill and most importantly, muscle. The key to defeating the Heat is man-handling them, so the Pacers got more size with the addition of Luis Scola. Another good sign is the fact that Roy Hibbert has taken the position they call 'Center' serious and decided to train with Tim Duncan again. If the Pacers can continue to improve and stay consistant, they could be representing the East, just maybe.
Key Additions: PG C.J. Watson (Free Agent); PF Luis Scola (Trade w/Suns); SF Solomon Hill (NBA Draft, 23rd Overall); SF Chris Copeland (Free Agent)
Key Losses: PF Tyler Hansbrough (Free Agent); SF/SG Gerald Green (Trade w/Suns)
Player to Watch For: It is safe to say that this upcoming season, Paul George will be a household name if he is not already. George pretty much made the playoffs his coming out party for potential ascension to super-stardom. He posted the 4th highest player efficiency rating last season out of all small forwards according to Hoopstats. During the regular season he shot 42% from the field while averaging 17.4 PPG and those numbers increased in the playoffs as he posted 19.0 PPG average on 43.9% shooting from the field. The only question I have is not if he has the ability to keep those numbers up, but how his game will translate going forward with the impending return of Danny Granger.
Area of Focus: Consistency is every teams downfall, but the Indiana Pacers fell victim far to many times last year to their lack thereof. Turnovers did the Pacers in with most of their games last year and it reared it ugly head in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals last season as the Heat turned up the pressure and the Pacers could not overcome it. Ball control will be the most important thing for the Pacers going forward. And its easier said than done, but with experience, everything will fall in place. People tend to forget that this team is relatively young and inexperienced at the premier positions on any basketball team, point guard and center. Hopefully with another year under their belt, they can fix that bad habit pretty quickly.
Intriguing Question: What do the Pacers do with Danny Granger?
The former All-Star has been battling injuries the past two seasons and last year it only allowed him to play in 5 games during the 2012-2013 season. Some would argue that with Granger out the Pacers looked a lot better, and actually played good enough to get the to Eastern Conference Finals without him. Paul George had a lot to do with that, as his star shined a lot lot brighter with Granger out. Now the question is, does Larry Bird and the Pacers front office want to keep Granger and his demanding salary number around for a few more years? Would Granger even want to take a discount to stay in Indiana and contend? Two major factors for both sides not parting ways is the fact that Granger is 30 years old and he has a nagging injury history that will raise red flags to most teams. The Pacers have time, but I am sure that once the season starts and depending on how Granger plays, it will be up to the Pacers to pull the trigger or not.
Season Prediction: 50-32
I can see the Pacers making a lot of improvements on their record from last year. They will need to validate their status as one of the elite teams in the East by winning the close games and beating the teams they are supposed to beat. The biggest hindrance from last season was their lack of focus, which always results in unforced turnovers and mistakes that will easily take any team out of a game and even a playoff series. They will have stiff competition now with a much better Nets and Knicks teams, the return of Derrick Rose to a already hard-nosed Bulls team and the defending NBA champions, Miami Heat.

I've been using the Open Source Edition for 5 minutes now *sarcasm..it's been about 3 days* and any review or screenshot can not do it justice unless you install the product. It has been very easy to install and the support forums have been extremely helpful. In the past I've used postfix, sendmail, and tried qmail but none compare to the features and overall install time of Zimbra.
I've already recommended the product to a handful of people and one even suggested that they would purchase the relatively inexpensive commercial network edition rather than using the open source edition. You guys should be proud of the work you are doing.

These aren't your grandmother's shag carpets – Alexandra Kehayoglou creates incredible rugs that look like miniature pastures and meadows. Each hand-tufted piece is a tribute to the landscape of the artist's native Argentina. As a granddaughter of Greek immigrants, she grew up following a textile tradition that was developed thousands of years ago in Asia Minor. After graduating with a degree in visual arts, Kehayoglou returned to her roots make carpets as her ancestors did, but with a twist. As varied as the grasses of South America, the carpets are beautiful representations of natural and cultural heritage.

(Test for Success Criterion 1.4.1: Use of Color)
Checked Elements: earl:automatic
This test checks if links within text are visually evident before they receive focus or are activated or the mouse is hovered over the link.
The objective of this failure is to avoid situations in which people who cannot perceive color differences cannot identify links (when people with color vision can identify links). Link underlines or some other non-color visual distinction are required (when the links are discernible to those with color vision). While some links may be visually evident from page design and context, such as navigational links, links within text are often visually understood only from their own display attributes. Removing the underline and leaving only the color difference for such links would be a failure because there would be no other visual indication (besides color) that it is a link.Understanding Success Criterion 1.4.1: Use of Color

(Test for Success Criterion 2.4.2: Page Titled)
Checked Elements: title
This test checks, whether the title of the web page identifies the contents or purpose of the page.
It is important to provide a descriptive title for your web page. Titles should identify the content of the web page without requiring users to read or interpret the page. They are used in a variety of places like search results, bookmarks, title bar and tabs of user agent, or the browser history to identify the page.Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.2: Page Titled
Provide a descriptive title using the title element in the head of the page. The title should always enable the user to distinguish different pages and identify their content. Keep your titles simple, short and precise and put the most specific information at the front (as the title might be cut off).

(Test for Success Criterion 2.4.6: Headings and Labels)
Checked Elements: h1-h6
This test checks, whether the headings identify their section of the content.
It is important to provide a descriptive headings in your web page. Descriptive headings give users an overview of the content and its organization, and help users find specific content and orient themselves within the web page. They identify sections of the content in relation both to the web page as a whole and to other sections of the same web page.Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.6: Headings and Labels
Provide text in the headings, that describes the section. If you need to use images as headings, provide an alternative text with the content of the heading in the alt attribute of the image.
Keep your headings short and succinct and try to putting the most important information at the beginning of each heading. This helps users "skim" the headings to locate the specific content they need, and is especially helpful when browsers or assistive technology allow navigation from heading to heading.
Tips for making accessible headings
(Test for Success Criterion 3.1.1: Language of Page)
Checked Elements: html element
This test checks that the primary language of the web content can be programmatically determined.
It is necessary to mark the primary language of a web page. This makes it possible for user agents and assistive technologies to present content correctly.
Screen readers can use the pronunciation rules of the language of the text. Visual browsers can display characters and scripts in appropriate ways. Furthermore automatic processing of the content like automatic translation or providing additional information using a dictionary are made possible.
If the html element has a lang attribute and the value of lang attribute is on the list of languages of BCP 47 the test would pass. Otherwise, test would fail.

If you use both attributes, their values have to be the same.
(Test for Success Criterion 4.1.1: Parsing)
Checked Elements: Elements with a defined id attribute
This test checks, if the values of the id attributes are unique.
IDs have to be unique. When id attribute values are not unique, they are particularly problematic when referenced by labels, headers in data tables, or used as fragment identifiers, as user agents do not have enough information to determine essential relationships (i.e., to determine which label goes with which item).Understanding Success Criterion 4.1.1: Parsing
IDs are assigned to an element with the
Take care, to also update all references to the old ID.
(Test for Success Criterion 4.1.2: Name, Role, Value)
Checked Elements: div or span elements
This test checks if event handlers to elements are attached to div and span, a role name is also defined for them.
Assistive technologies rely on knowledge of the role and current state of a component in order to provide that information to the user. Many HTML elements have well defined roles, such as links, buttons, text fields, etc. Generic elements such as div and span do not have any predefined roles. When these generic elements are used to create user interface controls in HTML the assistive technology may not have the necessary information to describe and interact with the control. Attaching event handlers to elements that are not normally interactive, such as span and div, can be disorienting to users. Even if care is taken to provide keyboard access to such elements, users may have a difficult time discovering that there are interactive controls in the content or understanding what type of behavior to expect from them.Understanding Success Criterion 4.1.2: Name, Role, Value

The results have been obtained following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 . They are based on automatic testing of (X)HTML files only and therefore only cover a subset of the defined requirements. In addition to the automatic tests needing human verification as stated in the results, the remaining WCAG 2.0 requirements need assessment by human experts.
The resulting display is an annotation and the W3C is not responsible for any content not found in the original Guidelines and any annotations are non-normative.
Please note that the score is only based on tests carried out automatically. About 20% of the conceivable tests can be automated, and the EIII tool covers a part of these tests.

Custom business cards are small pieces of paper used to memorize people. It is hard to remember everyone whom you met in your life for different purposes, in order to rectify this problem, business cards come to rescue. In this ostentatious time, it is hard to make the people stick in your mind, so it would be helpful if you ask for their business cards. Whenever you need to contact that person just review your business cards holder and find the contact numbers and addresses of him.
Now it has become a custom and tradition to handover business cards. Everyone keeps his personal cards and corporate cards in his pocket to distribute them when they meet with anyone.
Other than personal business cards, corporate business cards are printed with more zeal and zest because it is a perfect way to advertise your business and work among people. Now people are paying lot for printing attractive and unique business cards. Time has gone when people didn't use to pay attention over design, material, colors and printing quality of business cards.
Now people are in race to prove their identity in much better way than others. So how can you enjoy an edge over others who are also finding space to advertise their personality and business via using business cards? It would be done by printing custom business cards.
Elements of Custom Business Cards
Though basic elements of custom business cards are same as of standard or conventional business cards, but the improved quality and unique design is a real difference between a custom business card and stereotype business card.
One can make his identity stand out if he use some stand out techniques while printing custom business cards. These techniques are given as follows.
- Embossed Logo
- Die Cut
- Durable Stuff
- Full Color Printing
- Online Printing Company
Logo printing on business card is common, but embossed logo printing of your company is not a common activity that everybody does when he prints his business cards. Embossing the logo give a unique and refreshing look to your card even from distance its visibility is high.
Rectangular and standard business cards are known as bore and dull cards. Trillions of this type of cards revolves around the world daily. But majority of them get unnoticed due to their gauche and clumsy design. Printing die cut business cards have the ability to get noticed.
Adopting different printing stuff is another way to make you memorize. Plastic, metal and wood are among those stuffs that would add 'wow' effect as well as will give durability to your custom business cards
One color printing is low cost but it might not create any impact among its readers. In order to please the receiver of business card at first sight, print full color custom business cards.
Last but not least element to remain in receiver's mind is by adopting an online printing company to print your custom business cards. Online printing company is surely a best plat form where all upper mentioned elements are treated with professionalism and digital printing technology in quick time.

Well…there's still something to learn about putting text in blogpost-headers and readability. Or do you want to give us a headache at the end of the year?!
Right. I get that you have guest posts. Or sponsored posts.
Would it be too much effort to edit it, at least?
Fantastic idea, i do like it :) thanks for sharing.
a business owner, I have done a lot of research online looking for a
trustworthy company for all my Low Cost Online Printing.
Whether it be catalogs, manuals, flyers, etc., I want low cost, but I also want
quality and trustworthiness. I finally found a printing service that has never
failed me. Click on the link and check them out. I highly recommend them.
Tedious. Trendwhoring business cards does not help you much. I suggest you talk about the marketing concepts and the visual communication models that are useful for business cards. That way, your readers can learn more than your opinion on what-everybody-and-their-mom-now-have-and-therefore-has-to-be-good.

Farrah Abraham
Did Farrah Abraham Slam Charlie Sheen's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?
In the event that you've been living under a rock, the ALS Association is raising a ton of funds thanks to a lil' something-something called the Ice Bucket Challenge. Basically, you pour a giant bucket of ice water over your head to raise awareness about ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease, and if you're a really good person, you donate some money.
Almost every celebrity in Hollywood has gotten in on the action, and now the mysterious creature known as Farrah Abraham has emerged from her chamber of secrets to impart some wisdom on the subject.
Farrah hit up Twitter to gift us with an ALS-themed life lesson, and while her Tweet is pretty much unintelligible (bless her heart), we think she might be throwing shade at her life-long nemesis, Charlie Sheen. Note: Charlie put a spin on the Challenge by pouring money on his head instead of ice.
"ICE ICE Baby! #IceBucketChallenge has a lot of #IceBucketFail rather just have a bucket of money that doesn't melt," she tweeted. "[Charlie Sheen] #giveaway."
Go ahead and read that a couple times, and then join us as we try to decipher the meaning. From what we can tell, Farrah is either applauding Charlie for donating to the ALS Association, or she's accusing Charlie of not actually donating the money he poured onto his head.
It's almost impossible to ascertain Farrah's true meaning is, but considering that she once told Charlie to "sit in your own pedestrian troposphere of lame-suck and zero-life," we're thinking shade has been thrown.
What do you think of Farrah's tweet? Sound off below!

This is the Yeni Valide Camii, built between 1708-1710 by Ahmet III and dedicated to his mother the Valide Rabia Gülnüş Ümmettullah. "The mosque itself is in the classical style at its very last gaps and before the baroque influence had come to liven it up."(Strolling through Istanbul; Redhouse). You see the "aviary" style türbe (grave monument) for the Valide to the right.

Energy Efficiency
Wiser energy use at home and in the workplace can reduce energy bills and help reduce pollution. Using energy more efficiently, whether by installing compact fluorescent light bulbs, buying more efficient appliances, or better insulating walls and windows, can lead to considerable economic savings and substantial decreases in air pollution. Simple efficiency improvements can save up to 50 per cent on energy bills. Reducing the energy used by the consumer through improved efficiency measures also helps to ease the demand placed on electric utilities for power.
The Council has long been a champion of energy efficiency programs for low-income ratepayers. Clean Air Council recently intervened in the First Energy-Allegheny merger case to gain additional funding for low-income electricity consumers in the Pennsylvania service territory. Furthermore, the Council started the Sustainable Energy Education Program (SEEP) in 2001 to educate the public about saving energy through conservation and energy efficiency. The program has been expanded to assist Pennsylvania utilities with their Act 129 requirements to reduce energy demand by consumers. The Council will continue to work with utilities in the Mid-Atlantic region to promote energy efficiency; likewise the Council will also continue its outreach to the community on the benefits of using energy more efficiently.

Gone are the days of pump-style water filters. The Sawyer 4-Liter Complete Water Purification System removes protozoa, bacteria, and viruses from your water, giving you up to four liters of clean water in 15 minutes ... without pumping. Simply fill the gray reservoir with unfiltered water, attach the filter and hose, and let gravity fill the blue reservoir. Once full, the blue reservoir can be used as your hydration bladder in your pack, or you can fill a water bottle from this reservoir and then pack everything away. Take this system on your next group backpacking trip or when you know that you're camping far away from potable water sources.
- The Sawyer Point ZeroTWO Biological Filter has a removal rate of 0.02 Micron Absolute 5.5 log (99.9997%) removal rate, which exceeds EPA and NSF recommendations
- Hollow fiber filtration was derived from kidney dialysis and Sawyer worked directly with fiber manufacturers in order to create fibers with pore sizes no larger than 0.02 microns
- Filters can be reused hundreds of times, per Sawyer's 1 million gallon guarantee, and each filter can be backwashed to extend its life
- System includes four-liter nylon dirty water dispenser, a four-liter nylon clean-water storage vessel with high flow dispensing cap, a 0.02 micron absolute inline water purifier, faucet adapter, drink Tube, cleaning and maintenance instructions

Sawyer 4 Liter Filtration System (SP194)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Sawyer has been around since 1984 and is one of the leading innovators in water filtration and purification systems on this planet. Their products are built to last and if any issues are found they have a good customer service network that will work hard to push you out a new working product quickly. This particular model is the only one the company makes that filters down to 0.02 microns. This capability gives the filter the ability to not only filter out bacteria, protozoa, but also viruses. There have been several case studies done around the United States testing anything from tap water to natural water sources in the country and there is a growing number of viruses found in our water supplies. This is caused primarily from fecal matter contaminating the supply via humans or animals. With this filter you have the best of all worlds and it is gravity fed requiring no effort other collecting water and hooking up the lines. I have read the reviews of people talking about the slow filtration rate. If you expect the world and only get one country in return then you will probably be disappointing. The purchaser has to understand this product was designed after technology derived from kidney dialysis. That being said, it is physically removing virus's through incredibly small membrane pores, as well as, a host of other harmful organisms. So the filtration itself will be slower than one with a larger pore size that only removes bacteria, and protozoa. To increase the rate of filtration you have to bleed the lines of air. This is simple just hook up the dirty bag without the filter attached and open it. This will cleanse the line, then hook up the filter insure water is flowing from it, lastly hook the filter into the clean bag. I would run this process several times using tap water from any kitchen sink to slightly stretch out the membrane pores and break the filter in. The end result is a flow rate of around .15 liter's a minute.
Perfect purifier
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used sawyer water filters for about 3 years now.
They are amazing. The filter is light simple and for the most part hands free.
I've used most water filters and treatment options on the market,chemical electric chemical, pump filters etc.
the sawyer leaves all other filters in the dust.
this particular model is actually a purifier. Its the only mechanical way to remove viruses from water that I'm aware of.
There is a slight learning curve. users can get very low flow rates if the filter is not primed correctly. Low flow rates can also happen if all the air isn't bled out of the hoses before starting.
Once you get the hang of these you'll never go back.
Being able to set 4 liters of water down come back after setting up camp and having all you water filtered is worth the weight in gold.
no pumping till your arms fall off.
no batteries to worry about.
no replacing filters every couple months.
bomb proof construction.
it is the perfect water filter
Any experience/suggestions for taking...
Any experience/suggestions for taking care of the filter in freezing conditions? Comments on other sites reported filter damage below 32F.
To best answer questions about water purification / filtration, we'd need to know some more information about the location and conditions that you'll be in.
Damage below 32F is due to the expansion of water in the filter when it changes from a liquid to a solid state. When on trips, typically filters always have some residual water left over; this is the water that will cause problems as there is no way of removing 100% of the water.
Alternatives during freezing conditions are boiling water or chemical treatments (such as iodine tablets). But be aware that in some locations there are living organisms such as worms and bugs in snow so filtering may need to be done after that.
Is this Sawyer filtration SP194?

Yes sir, this is Sawyer Model Number SP194.

Conspiracy theorists and grassy knoll types had a field day this afternoon as a couple of thousand customer reviews of Spore, mostly of the negative variety, suddenly disappeared from Amazon.com.
Some were quick to see EA's heavy hand in the missing reviews, but that was apparently not the case.
Earlier this week it was widely reported that angry gamers were slamming Spore with 1-star reviews due to the game's draconian copy protection scheme. Ironically, the game was cracked and posted online several days before its official release, meaning that legit buyers were the ones who suffered from the game's frustrating DRM.
Ars Technica, however, reports Amazon's explanation that the reviews were lost to a glitch of some sort and would be coming back online. Indeed, as this is being written, they appear to be back in place.

Okay, so it wasn't Dakota Johnson who received the present. It was her character in Fifty Shades of Grey, Anastasia Steele who is the lucky recipient.
Fans of the trilogy-turned-film will remember the repetitive discussions about Steele's VW bug she called "Wanda". Christian Grey, portrayed by Jamie Dornan, deems the vehicle unsafe.
The dominant, charismatic businessman decides to buy his love interest a car. No ordinary car is suitable enough, however. Her vehicle upgrade is a brand-new sleek red Audi.
Continuing with naming her cars, Anastasia refers to the present as "The Submissive Special."
How does one react to such a extraordinary gift?
Apprehension would probably come first. It just doesn't seem right to accept something so stunning. Although, if someone tried to give me a black Audi A6 or Q5, I might reconsider.
Max Martini, who plays Christian's bodyguard, Jason Taylor, was also present on set. It was his first day and I think it's safe to say it went rather well.
I'm still unsure of how I feel about this cast. While reading, I envisioned other actors portraying each of the characters. Have you other fans warmed up to the cast yet?
I think my favorites thus far are Eloise Mumford and Luke Grimes who are cast as Kate Kavanagh and Elliot Grey.
Check out the gallery above and then give us your current opinions in the comments below!

With a fantastic summer of fun ahead and the uncertainty of our health care in light of Chris' looming retirement, I knew I had to act quickly. Thankfully, I was seen that same day! The best part is that I was able to see my previous PCM (primary care manager, aka "my doctor") whom I really loved, but was promoted and had to cut her caseload in 1/2. Anyway, she heard my concerns, confirmed my diagnosis of plantar fascitis, prescribed me some Ibuprofen, told me to ice my foot and prescribed me a splint for the night. We discussed "next steps" being a trial of steriods either oral or injections with a "last resort" and one she is very much against--surgery. She likened the fascitis to a strut on a car. She said, "You wouldn't drive your car without a strut, so why would you cut (which is what happens during the surgery) the fascitis and walk without it for the remainder of life?" Good point.
Her plan of treatment aligned with what I researched online, so again, two points for my favorite doctor! The best part is that in conversation I shared that she was changed from being my PCM. She gave me a brief look of irritation and said there had been a few things done that she didn't know about and didn't approve, and that I could change it back. Yipppeee!! Now I just need to work my magic to make sure that our medical care doesn't change when Chris retires. Happy day for me!!


text: I have a wonderful Bill Davidson touring bike built up with an early-90s Campy MTB gruppo. To my amazement, I found when the freewheel finally wore out after about six years of use (on only two cogs, of course), that the freewheel is a Suntour Winner! Is that even POSSIBLE? The bike was a gift from a dear friend in Kansas, so I don't know if the freewheel was reconfigured or not. Anyway -- does it follow that a non-hybridized Suntour freewheel would be compatible with early-90s Campy index shifting?

Hello dear readers !
I'm just back home after a two-weeks trip to Algeria. I don't have many free time because of work and the preparation of my trip to Canada later this week, but as the destination is not often covered here on the A.net TR forum, I'd like to share my experience with you. Although I normally like to write detailed reports, I'll (try to) keep the text short for this time, and let the photos speak themselves.
Back in November, when my wife and I decided to go to Algeria, our choice of airline was dictated only by price considerations, and I found out the cheapest option was Iberia, with, of course, a stop at Madrid-Barajas (MAD) (we paid 250 EUR per person, return, taxes included, which is very cheap when compared to typical Belgium-Algeria fares).
It was my second trip to Algeria, the first one was in 2005, flying Air France between Paris and Algiers, and including a domestic flight on an Air Algerie ATR-72. A report for that trip can be found using the following link :
During an A.net meet in Dublin last March (see the non-av forum), I had a discussion with members HT and MEA-707 about Iberia, and both had bad stories to tell, especially HT who once faced serious luggage problems with them. Because of that, I did not have high expectations when I arrived at Brussels airport on the morning of April 1st.
Flight 1
From BRU (Brussels, Belgium) to MAD (Madrid-Barajas, Spain)
Iberia flight IB3207 / Seats 35 D-E-F
Departs : 07:55 / Arrives : 10:10 (on time)
Aircraft : Airbus A321-211 EC-ILP 'Peñiscola' (MSN 1716)
Runways : T-O 07R / Ldg 33R
Load factor (visual estimate) : 80-90 %
As I had checked us in online the day before, we just went to the Iberia fast bag drop counter, which made us avoid the long queue for the Iberia Economy class check-in. The friendly agent explained to us that our luggage was checked in until Algiers, and gave us Iberia 'Equipaje de Mano' orange labels for our cabin bags. We then proceeded to the passengers only area and through security control, without problems or delays. With many time left before boarding, we sat at our gate (A53) and let our son play and run while enjoying a much welcome coffee.

BOONE TOWNSHIP | Porter County police are not convinced that a man who approached a home with a bottle of laundry detergent was actually trying to sell the homeowner the detergent.
A resident in the 900 South block of County Road 350 West, in southern Porter County, reported his unusual encounter to the Sheriff's Department.
The homeowner told police two men arrived at his home in a minivan about 2:20 p.m. Wednesday. The homeowner said one man remained in the van while the other man knocked on his door.
The homeowner said the man was holding a bottle of All brand detergent and he asked the homeowner if he wanted to try the detergent. The homeowner told police the conversation was "odd." Then, the man got back into his van and drove away.
The man with the detergent was described as a white man in his 30s, about 6 feet tall weighing 225 pounds. He had light red hair and was clean cut.
The van was silver with handicapped plates.
The homeowner alerted police because he was aware of burglaries in the area. He told police he believes the pair would have burglarized his house had he not been there.
Police Sgt. Larry LaFlower urges anyone who may have had contact with these men to call their local police department, or call the Porter County Sheriff's Department at (219) 477-3000.
