#1 is Michelle Obama's ass. #4 is a bird laid an egg. And both of these are stories that I blogged yesterday. The First Lady's ass attracted 197 commenters here on the blog. I blogged the bird story too. In the comments, Inga made fun of the WaPo headline saying that the bird had given birth, and I note this morning that the headline has been rewritten, and now it's producing a chick. But there we were, talking about whether it's silly to say a bird gave birth.
Give birth is an interesting expression, even as applied to mammals. Which is my point: What is interesting this morning? Something tells me it's not politics.
Meanwhile, even politicians seem to know we're tired of dreary politics. Apparently, Republicans want to win us over with "happy talk" — #3 on that list:
At a retreat for Republican leaders last month, former House speaker Newt Gingrich told them to "learn to be a happy party" and a "cheerful" one, and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said they should be a party "that smiles."...Decorated with a foam board... That's like a bird giving birth. The WaPo is bumping up the rhetoric inanely. Even when mocking the GOP for its strained cheeriness, they're goosing us with inappropriate but exciting words.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor took this don'tworry-be-happy strategy seriously, and in a heavily promoted "major" speech to the American Enterprise Institute [that]... began with an uplifting anecdote about the Wright brothers and quoted the inspirational words of Emma Lazarus. He spoke from a lectern decorated with a foam board carrying the slogan "Making life work for more people"....
And then there's that coin. It's moving closer to reality. Here I am over here in Reality. And there... somewhere out there.... a coin... it approaches!
Words, words, words... What kind of words do you have an appetite for this morning?

Muse Proxy is a highly customizable multi-platform proxy server. It is easy to use and configure, acting successfully as a gateway to authenticated restricted content, rewriting Web server, Web Access Management, proxy server, and reverse proxy. It has been used for more than 10 years within the Muse Federated Search Platform to manage the authentication to resources and the navigation to full text, by restoring the server session on the end-user browser.
ZedLog is a robust cross-platform input logging tool (A.K.A., a key logger). It is based on a flexible data logging system which makes it easy to get the required data. It features logging of all keyboard and mouse events, a replay simulation tool, logging to a file, and hiding in the background.
libKISSlog is a trivial lightweight C++ template library designed and written according to the KISS (Keep It Simple and Straightforward) principle. It leans heavily on STL for keeping its implementation as simple as its usage, and tries to provide C++ developers with a lightweight, paradigm-pure, and flexible alternative to logging libraries which use design and/or implementation decisions which at least the author of libKISSlog believes to be questionable. Its easiest to explain why libKISSlog would be suitable for your needs by listing the things which libKISSlog does not choose to use or do: no singletons or other forms of mutable global state, no macros, no attempt to fit the Java runtime everything model onto a C++ library, no attempt to be a Java-style (bloated) framework, no attempt to make the choice for you of whether you need thread safety, and no compromise on simplicity in order to facilitate questionable inner-loop logging practices.
LoginIDS provides functions to analyze log files from different services in order to detect unusual login behavior. The normal user behavior is learned by analyzing log files and saved in a database. Logins are analyzed by time, service, source, and destination address. If a user's login is new or considered unlikely by LoginIDS, an alert is generated. Alerts can be handled by external scripts and viewed using the log file management system Splunk and the LoginIDS App.
An easy to use, but still quite capable firewall for Netfilter/iptables.

text: Obviously all gay guys are going to be attracted to penises. I was wondering whether/how the color of a penis affected your attraction to it. I know for me, while I'm generally not into African american men, there's something about a very dark cock that's wild, sexy and alluring in a more animistic way (and before you think I'm racist, my ethnicity is a hybrid of Indian/Black/White ). Even more so, when someone with white/brown skin is in the possession of a dick significantly darker than their skin color, it completely drives me crazy (so much so that I ever created a thread about it http://www.justusboys.com/forum/thre...eir-skin-color ). If they're uncut it's even greater, as there's more dark skin to see . What about you guys?

Some $40 million was approved for the project to transform the Stamford Transportation Center the busiest Connecticut station on the New Haven Line, into a multi-modal commuter complex designed for customer service and satisfaction. The project is expected to improve multimodal traffic and pedestrian flow around the facility and promote transit-oriented development.
The $40 million total includes $35 million for construction and $5 million for staff and consultant services for through project completion.
The bond commission also approved $50 million for the replacement of the Metro-North Rail Bridge over Atlantic Street in Stamford, a bridge originally built in 1896. In addition to the bridge replacement, the project is expected to increase the vertical clearance under the bridge from 12 feet, seven inches to 14 feet, six inches.
Nine million dollars was added by the bond commission to the $1 million already in place for an economic development program designed to rebuild Connecticut's freight rail system, called "Fixing Freight First." Under this program, rail companies can apply for the $10 million to repair and modernize rail, rail beds, crossings, culverts and related facilities.
There are now 10 companies that annually move some 8.5 million tons of freight through Connecticut on more than 625 miles of track, including some passenger rail lines. Through the Fixing Freight First program, each company may submit an application to the ConnDOT to upgrade facilities.

The first thing that needs to be done is obtaining in Merrimack NH 03054 a cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification. A CPR certification, also known as a CPR card, is a certification in Merrimack NH 03054 received after taking a CPR class from an American Heart Association certified program. CPR programs are in Merrimack NH 03054 usually a four hour class with all the updated information about CPR, a written exam, and a practical test using mannequins made specifically for CPR. Once you pass the class a CPR card will be issued and will last for 2 years.
Second task in the road to catching fires for life is attending a class in Merrimack NH 03054 to become a certified First Responder. The first responder class is meant for students to learn the basic skill for medical emergencies that need pre-hospital care. The class is a 40 hour course that is knocked out over a couple 8 hour days.
The third and most important step is receiving the Fire 1 and Fire 2 certificates. These certificates will be obtained by attending the fire academy. Different states and fire departments put these academy's on in different ways. They'll either be an academy that you attend, graduate, and then apply for open positions at different departments or get hired by a specific department and they put
there hires through an academy in which students will graduate in to jobs with that department. The academy can either be every day Monday through Friday 8am-5pm for 3 months or 3 days a week for 6 months in Merrimack NH 03054. The 6 month schedule would be something like Tuesday and Thursday 5pm-9pm and Saturday 8am-5pm. Both class schedules have their pros and cons. The 3 month class is good obviously because it's half the time but not everyone has the availability to attend class everyday. Which is why the 6 month class is usually ideal. It allows students the option to not quit their day job while attending the academy.
Fire 1 will be the first half and Fire 2 being the second, with classroom days as well as drill days. Classrooms day will involve covering different chapters from the course book with tests at the end of each week. Drill take will consist of learning hands on skills and techniques needed to become a firefighter in Merrimack NH 03054. Towards the end of the academy the instructors will begin to focus on the final written exam and final practical. Each state has their own written exam as well as a practical exam to test the skills that were learned. A passing score on the final exam and the final practical are required to receive the Fire 1 and Fire 2 certificates.

Jason Derulo is taking it easy after one particularly bad stumble onstage.
The R&B singer, who just recently performed at MTVs NYE in NYC 2012, quickly wound up bedridden after an acrobatic trick he was practicing for his upcoming world tour went awry.
I fractured my neck doing tumbling & acrobatics 4 tour! Always tryin 2 push boundaries 4 YOU! he tweeted to his followers Thursday. Like my new chain?
In the photo that accompanied the tweet, Derulo, 22, is shown lying on a bed in a hospital gown with a massive neck brace weighing his head down.
According to a press release from his record company, Derulo landed on his head during rehearsal, fracturing one of his vertebrae and nearly winding up paralyzed from the incident.
The singer was taken immediately to a hospital in Pembroke Pines, Fla.
Derulo was set to embark on his Future History world tour, and had previously talked about plans to kick his performance up a notch.
For my show I want to bring a performance-art element, he told MTV News. It wont just be a run-of-the-mill me standing in front of a band. It will be a lot of dancing, obviously, but there will be somewhat of a story line, almost like a musical.
So its a show thats going to be very different than anything people have ever seen. Ive just really, really been trying to focus on creating something that is new, something that is fresh, so that when my fans come, it will be an experience.
No word yet on when the Dont Wanna Go Home singer will be able to get back on his feet, but all ticketholders will receive refunds.
Derulo expressed his disappointment in a statement: To all my fans who planned to come to the Future History World Tour, the pain of letting you down cuts me way deeper than this injury Ive sustained.
My fans mean everything to me, so Im praying for a speedy recovery in order to perform for you in the near future.
The Game season premiere tonight!!!! I ain't holdin' out hope that the show's gotten funnier, but da boys are hot enough for me to sit through either way. Here's hoping Pooch opens with one of those infamous boxer-brief scenes.
I'd tear into Hosea's moob like a suckling pig!
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga; born April 17, 1985) is a French professional tennis player. He
was born in Le Mans, to a French mother, Évelyne, and a Congolese father, Didier,
who moved to France in the 1970s to play handball. Tsonga is a member of the
Tennis Club de Paris. Tsonga rose to fame by virtue of his performance in the
2008 Australian Open when, as an unseeded player, he reached the final,
having defeated four seeded players along the way, including earning a
straight sets win over the then world number two Rafael Nadal in the
semifinals. Tsonga eventually lost to the then world no. 3 Novak
Djokovic in the final in four sets, after winning the first set, the
only set Djokovic dropped during the tournament. Tsonga
followed this up by winning his first ATP Masters Series
championship at the 2008 Paris Masters, thus
qualifying for the 2008 Tennis Masters Cup
in Xanghai, China. His best performances
in a major tournament since 2008 are
semifinal appearances in the 2010
Australian Open and 2011
He also reached the
final of the 2011 ATP World
Tour Finals where he lost to five-time
and defending champion Roger Federer.
I bet he has a big one.

It's Not Too Early Anymore
Nobody is a bigger U-M fan than I am (if you only knew the "important" things I've blown off for games, it may frighten you) but that doesn't mean one can't love their team yet still see areas that need to be improved upon. Couple that with that fact that I've been hurt by Michigan teams in the past (with all its tradition, this is only the third time since 1980 U-M has started out 8-0, the other years being 1986 and 1997) and I've just been trying keep an even keel about this magical season. I don't care who you are, nobody saw this coming. Nobody. So I've been keeping my excitement in check.
But no more.
Because there is no reason any longer that Michigan and Ohio State shouldn't both be 11-0 when they meet in Columbus for one of the greatest showdowns in the history of this most special of rivalries. Two undefeated teams, #1 and #2 in the country meeting for all the marbles.
Sure, we give our Big 10 brethren in that state to the south a lot of grief, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I hope Ohio State wins the their next three games 150-0 and I'll bet true Buckeye and college football fans hope the same for Michigan until November 18th.
Wolverine and Buckeye fans have waited a long time to see something on par with the Bo vs. Woody encounters of the 70s. Such as 1973 when 4th ranked and 10-0 Michigan played top ranked and 10-0 OSU to a 10-10 tie.
Sure, there have been great clashes all along, where one team or the other was top ranked. But nothing like this. No, this is special. This is like 197? all over again.
And would anybody want it any other way?
So good luck, Buckeyes...at least for the next three weeks. I'll be pulling for you each Saturday until the 18th. I'd like nothing more than this picture below from Michigan Against the World to be true.
And there's no reason any longer it shouldn't be.
(HT: Andy for the pic)

I hate to have to root for them, but I also root for Notre Dame so we look better. Hell I can even root for Sparty if it means we will remain no. 2 until the big game.
- October 24, 2006 1:20 AM
I didn't see this coming.
I expected big trouble at ND and PSU, and other struggles along the way.
LC deserves credit for righting the ship - but that doesn't change the fact that he deserves criticism for prior years. What could have happened if JH was replaced a few years ago?
It's not too early anymore.
I was there in 1973. I was there in 1997. I will be there in 2006. It has never happened before in this, the greatest of all games, #1 v #2.
I can't wait.
- October 24, 2006 4:22 AM
I love this. I love that we're a month from the game and we're already talking #1 vs. #2.
You realize, of course, that if we lose a game between now and then, this blog has to shut down. Period. And I get to kick you in the face.
But that won't happen, and I'll just bounce around uneasily the rest of the month. Good God I can't wait.
- October 24, 2006 7:30 AM
You guys realize that there is a very slight chance for a rematch of "the game"? If the game is close and everyone has one loss, then a one-loss Michigan (because we know it will be that way) could stay put at #2.
- October 24, 2006 8:12 AM
Well put. I'm a Buckeye but I always root for Michigan until the 3rd Saturday in November. The specialness of this game is unmatched year after year, regardless of whether a team is 0-11 or 11-0. This year its off the charts and I thank my lucky stars I will be there in person to witness it.
Keep up the good work on your blog, I visit daily.

Wait...wasn't the Game of the Century just played in January? I thought Texas just beat USC. Maybe I'm wrong? Or perhaps a NEW century starts 11/18?
- October 24, 2006 9:16 AM
as a huge tOSU fan and I couldn't agree more. Significant conversation at the bars the past couple of weeks in Columbus (beyond how ugly the UM cheerleaders are) has already been centered on where to watch the game on 11/18 for those of us without tickets. And there is sound agreement that, painful as it sounds, we are hopeful the Wolverines are undefeated when they come to Columbus.
Actually, why don't we all just hope it is only the first tOSU victory over UM this SEASON:

"Game of the (6-year old) century"... the outrageous use of superlatives these days.
Oh, and a one loss OSU or UM gets them in the back of the line behind all the one loss teams from the south.
If you have to lose a game, losing early in the season if you have to lose is key. A loss late in the season hurts because you have all the middle of the pack voters being convinced by the all-season long doubters that say, "See, I told you all along that team X had a weakness."

Here's my take for what it's worth...
I WANT michigan to lose before Nov. 18th. Why? Well there's three scenarios that can happen.
1. We both are undefeated and we beat you
2. We both are undefeated and we lose to you
3. You lose ahead of time
The pain and suffering of #2 would be way way more than the joy of #1 in my opinion. To lose to you and as a result, not only are our title hopes dashed, but YOU get to play for the MNC. That's just too much to take.
If we beat you, yeah it would be cool if we stopped your title hopes and ended your undefeated season but honestly the coolness of that would last a few weeks until we started to get ready for the championship game. In 2002, we beat you to go to the title game. it didn't matter what your record was, it was just great that we beat you on the way to winning the title. I won't have much more joy from beating an 11-0 UM team to play for the title than I would from beating a 10-1 UM team.
Not sure if that makes sense but you can definitely tell that I've got all the innate pessimism that every cleveland sports fan has.
That said, I don't THINK you'll lose before 11/18 but I hope ya do.
- October 24, 2006 12:09 PM
UM and OSU *will* be undefeated for The Game. That's a fact. I'm sorry there srudoff, but IU ain't pulling the upset in Bloomington, NW is possibly the worst B10 team there is, and Ball State..well...last time I checked, hell was still hot.
Flip side the same for OSU. Minnesota is the second worst B10 team, and then there's NW...and who else? Don't remember, doesn't really matter.
- October 24, 2006 12:24 PM
srudoff, the fear in your eyes is evident. I want UM and OSU undefeated when we play every single year. Not only does that mean I understand the rivalry better than you, but I am more confident in my team.
- October 24, 2006 12:53 PM
- srudoff said...
Biff - no doubt neither team will lose. I've got tickets to OSU @ NW and Illinois so I'll be pumped to watch them in their final tune ups.
Jeremy - If you understood the rivalry better, you'd understand that records don't matter. Both teams could be 7-5 or 3-8 and the game would still mean just as much to each side. As far as confidence - I'm pretty damn sure that there's no way Troy Smith is going to let his team lose in his last game at the Shoe. However give any life long Cleveland fan enough time to think and visions of The Drive, The Shot, The Fumble, Red Right 88, Jose Mesa, etc can put occasional slivers of doubt in our minds. Any Cleveland area Michigan fans can relate I'm sure

You know some Jackass from the south is going to come across this and say "the only reason OSU and MICH are undefeated is they don't play in the SEC". So to those Bulldogs, Vols, Gators, etc... How's the view from the bottom?
- October 24, 2006 1:10 PM
Actually we passed USC this week while they had a bye week. If they keep winning they will probably bounce back in front of us to the #2 spot so we might actually be #3 against #1
- October 24, 2006 1:10 PM
I'll be that Jackass. Michigan plays who this year? ND- well we now know how much over-hyped that program has been in pre-season and now. Iowa? Who's Iowa? Isn't that the So Car, Bama, (insert any other mid-tier major conference team) of the Big 10 that Indiana thrashed. Wisconsin? Oh, there's a study in dominance. And who does tOSU play- one tough game, and you won it nicely like you needed to, but really, if either team had (pick 6) UofF, LSU, Auburn, UGA, UT and then the second tier SEC teams Arky, Bama, Cocks do you think you would have run the table this year? Unfortunately, undefeated up to the "Game of the Century" just isn't comparable to running the SEC undefeated up to the SEC championship game. Not this year. If you have a year when the Boilermakers are good and Big Blue, Bucks, Lions, and Badgers are all dominating, then BTBuckeye you can thump your chest (careful not to smash your manboobs though). Both teams are doing everyhting they need to, and all they can do and all they have control over, but unfortunately your conference brothers sucking ass this year means undefeated up to the big game isn't what it could have been. At least not outside of the States of Ohio and Michigan. You've got great programs, but please don't brag about being undefeated when the bulk of your conference foes aren't even competetive.

wait WTF
Arrington has an altercation with his girlfriend on OCTOBER 13th - the day before the Penn State game. Then is arraigned in court on october 18th - 4 days prior to Iowa and still get to play in the IOWA game??? And he's drunk driving on top of it and Carr just finds that out AFTER Iowa? What a joke. Whatever it takes to win LLLoyd. How convenient that you trust his word that nothing happened, let him play, then suddenly find out he lied to you. Hell he should miss time for lying to the coach although Carr lied too so all's cool.
No way scUM beats Iowa without Manningham AND Arrington - you can't win throwing to a freshmen and Breaston (who only can catch wide receiver screens).
How does Arrington get arraigned in court for domestic violence 4 days prior to a game and Carr still lets him play? Bellisari missed THE GAME and didn't hurt his girlfriend.
talk about a tainted undefeated record
- October 24, 2006 2:07 PM
Dude, we still need to beat Northworstern and Indiana for crissakes!
Given Lloyd's love affair with kicking FGs, keeping games close, -and considering his propensity to lose to Northwestern despite fielding a better football team, can we please not count eggs before they're hatched?
I know. Too much to ask, isn't it?

sort of funny. remember when tosu fans used to piss & moan that all we talked about is tosu's troubles w/ the law? that we talked about that because of lack of performance on the field??
it would seem they don't like us talking about football much this year, either.

Ah, the years that could have features unbeaten Michigan teams, but did not.
Because UM was highly ranked and didn't respect it's fellow Big Ten opponents prior to the OSU game?
What about 2006?

- CrimeNotes said...
Personally, I'm not going to get in a tit-for-tat over "taint" with a scUM-abbreviating Tressel acolyte in blog comments -- too easy what with all the ignorance about glass houses and program self-awareness.
But yeah, this doesn't make the program look so good.
Here's guessing that Arrington will be sitting out the next few, and that Lloyd is deeply embarrassed by this. I'm inclined to give Lloyd the benefit of the doubt (call me naive, but I think he'd rather lose to Iowa than sully the program) but, like Kenny Rogers, he has given ammunition to conspiracy types.
- October 24, 2006 2:28 PM
- srudoff said...
well said crimenotes
however what would worry me from a UM standpoint is that Carr stated that he personally researched this before deciding to allow AA (interesting initials given the incident) to play against Iowa. He comes off as either incompetent for not finding out more or corrupt (for doing nothing about it) to casual observers. I'd be curious to see what the police report said.
- October 24, 2006 2:39 PM
srudoff, believe you me I understand how records don't matter. I still want it all on the line when it's time to play though. I'm not using records to predict the outcome, but rather, to up the ante.
- October 24, 2006 2:57 PM
- CrimeNotes said...
Srudoff -- I don't know if it's necessarily as bad as you make it out to be. (Also, gratuitous and probably inaccurate low blow with the AA comment, but whatever.) Here are a few possible scenarios:
1.) Lloyd and staff intentionally ask only surface level questions for fear of knowing too much. (Didn't Neuheisel once do something like not read NCAA regulations so that he could later claim ignorance?) They thereby allow themselves plausible deniability. Seems none too likely, as Lloyd is a bit of a control freak.
2.) Lloyd and staff knew what happened and intentionally softballed it in order for Arrington to play the Iowa game. I consider this implausible.
3.) Lloyd and staff have a ton of shit going on and limited resources; they look into this, talking to Arrington and probably the girl, think that they were looking into a mere personal quarrel with minor scratches, no indication of intentional violence, give Arrington the benefit of the doubt, and move on. Arrington doesn't mention the alcohol issue. (I have no idea if there's a standing operating procedure for the Athletic Department to get police reports in incidents like this or when they become available.) Lloyd thinks it's a done deal, turns out there's more than meets the eye, and Arrington being some combination of scared or sloppy thinks that this will all blow over. It doesn't and Lloyd goes Lou Ferrigno on his ass. This sounds plausible.
Also, while I'm not thrilled with the unnecessary fodder this gives to the outside world (seriously srudoff, would you hate Michigan half so much if it weren't for the program's choir boy self-image?) it's a tiny, forgettable stubbed toe compared to the hog-wild, lawyers-guns-and-money shitshows that happen in places like Florida State, Colorado, and tOSU. Michigan is Michigan in part because these things get regulated.
- October 24, 2006 3:43 PM
They should declare a national couch shortage a week before the game. Either if Ohio State wins or loses, the skies above Columbus will be pitch black after the game!
- October 24, 2006 4:16 PM
- srudoff said...
actually i hate them more because of the holier than thou attitude of their fans, ESPECIALLY the ones that actually went there. i'm basing this on people i know and/or work with and people on forums that i've been part of for a while (non-sports ones mostly).
if Carr punishes AA (my comment WAS gratuitous and POSSIBLY inaccurate but damn funny) appropriately (meaning more than he gave marlin jackson who also had a late night run in but assumingly didn't lie to Carr about it and make him look like a jackass) then i'd say bravo to him for upholding UM's rep and values. hell if he had the balls to do what Tress did to Bellisorry and sit him for the game, I'd be the first to publicly praise him. But we all know that won't happen.
she'll drop the charges, the drunk driving will be swept under the rug and AA won't miss a single play - maybe a practice or two. Anyway that's my prediction - we'll see how it plays out
- October 24, 2006 4:30 PM
- Yost said...
Apples to oranges, Sru.
Bellisori got in trouble the week of the M/OSU game. Or it least it all came to light that week. So should Lloyd suspend him for the rest of the season (4 games) for this? That would be overly harsh, don't even you think?
I think you're going to see him get suspended for the next game or two (my vote being two if he lied).
Even worse for AA, hopefully MM will be back and he be back on the bench and be unable to improve his stock for the OSU game.
- October 24, 2006 4:45 PM
So stomping on a players leg in a game fight deserves being kicked off the team (Miami), but roughing up your girlfriend, drunk driving (and possibly lying about it all to coaches) doesn't?
Nothing to see here folks, move along.
- October 24, 2006 5:22 PM
- srudoff said...
It is apples and oranges, not only in when it happened in relation to The Game but also in what the off field transgression was. AA allegedly dragged his girlfriend out of his car by her wrists and drove off, drunk. She suffered some cuts and bruises but , like most abuse victims you read about, she won't press charges. It doesn't change what he did though.
Anyway, we'll see what happens.
- October 24, 2006 5:44 PM
It's taking liberties with the facts to say that AA roughed up his girlfriend. She called police because she was concerned that he had taken off in her car drunk, according to the Detroit News. She's not pressing charges, he was never caught by police drunk driving.
Yeah, and Michigan will bench AA when Ohio forfeits its win against Michigan and National Title in '02. Tre$$el'$ player$ have a hi$tory of being on the take. $o don't come to thi$ board accu$ing Michigan of running an unethical program. Any t0$U fan who was honest with himself would send a donation to the Andy Geiger Chair at the Ohio $tate University Deptartment of $capegoating, er, Ethic$ in lieu of further argument.

This Arrington "case" has a lot of legs (smirk). I expect him to get locked up with #13 (laughing out loud as buckeye fan grasps for straws) for this one...
"Girlfriend stated she did not want to press charges or go to court. GF stated she just wanted Arrington to be safe. GF stated she allows Arrington to drive her vehicle all the time and she is only concerned about him driving because he had been drinking.."
You can not be charged and convicted without a supportive witness or any evidence. Finding a parked car is not evidence of any wrong-doing.
I agree that Carr should not played him against Iowa if he knew the story. (We still would have beaten them). Now Carr should suspend him for a few games for being stupid. But this thing is going nowhere fast.
- October 24, 2006 6:03 PM
- Yost said...
From what I've read, she did call the cops b/c she was concerned about AA driving drunk not b/c of any "abuse."
As for Anon trying to compare this to the problems at Miami...
LOL!!! Hey, thanks for the laugh. Really. You should try comedy.
- October 24, 2006 6:04 PM
- surrounded in columbus said...
w/out reading the report firsthand, there's no way of knowing if "anything" took place or not. the only place i've seen that has suggested there was any violence is in blogger comments- not any news source.
and even if the report alleges Arrington was "physical" getting her out of the car srudoff is correct- many victims don't wish to prosecute abuse.
for example- when tosu's WR Dukes was arrested and charged for soliciting oral sex from a 13 yr old two years ago (right before the alamo bowl- you know the one tre$$el let him stay and practice for but not dress for??), the case was eventually dropped because the child (literally) didn't want to testify.
third, driving after drinking isn't against the law by itself. millions of people have a beer after work and legally drive home.
it's only a crime if you have had enough to meet the definition of "impaired" which varies from state to state (ohio is .08%). the amount of alcohol necessary to "impair" varies from person to person, and weight, other food eaten contemeraneous to drinking, and the individual's metabolism are critical. how much alcohol it would take to impact a 200 lb male is difficult to judge w/ out any prior testing and exact accounting of both the intake and the timing.
point being, w/ out a blood test or other field sobriety indicators, there's no way of knowing someone was driving while impaired. consequently, there's almost now way of investigating or pursuing an omvi/dui type case at this point.
all that said, i think Arringtion may still be a minor. if he was drinking, driving or not, he certainly should be disciplined for his actions. i think sweaterboy had Boone (mr. 40 bottles a day/blew thru the roof when caught w/ the dui) run extra laps,etc., when he was caught this spring. never missed a game/never missed a snap.
my guess if any of this turns out to be true, Carr will hand out something AT LEAST as harsh as that. seriously, as a michigan fan, i would be disappointed if it wasn't something more than that.
- October 24, 2006 6:46 PM
- surrounded in columbus said...
i stand corrected. the Free Press is now reporting there was a "domestic abuse" charge filed against Arrington. the abuse centers (according to the article) around a fight over the keys to the car.
Carr is quoted as he will wait for the court system to work it's way thru before taking any action on the charges. however, the drinking issue is different and will be addressed as a team discipline issue.
i suppose Arrington better start running his laps....
- October 24, 2006 7:00 PM
I'm the anon 2:22 that compared it to the Miami fight incident. Take your blue shades off and read the article linked by crimenotes (with nothing else) and my first thought was of a thug beating up his girl to get the keys to her car and go wherever he wanted to go while he was drunk. We know more now that shoots a hole in that story and I apologize for making a now stupid comparison, but all I was given was crimenotes story. If you read that exact story (and nothing else) about a tOSU player and didn't think he should be booted off the team, then with all due respect people would think you're drinking kool-aid. We all know better, it's Gator-Aid- ha! (F UofF)
- October 24, 2006 7:11 PM
- CrimeNotes said...
I think the story that I linked to made clear that she had relatively minor scratches that came about from a scuffle over keys -- "a late-night argument in the early-morning hours of Oct. 13 that left Hupe with marks on her hands from keys."
Perhaps not gentlemanly, but not exactly "a thug beating up his girl."
Arguments to the contrary indicate 1.) poor reading comprehension, and 2.) a dirty mind.
I think Surrounded in Columbus @ 3:46 gives exactly the right analysis.
- October 24, 2006 7:41 PM
I'm not going to get involved in the debate about whether Lloyd should or shouldn't have suspended Arrington yet; the whole thing seems to have been a little murky up to this point and I'm willing to give him (Lloyd) the benefit of the doubt. But, there's a point of order here:
Srudoff, theweiler, andy, yost, and surrounded have all made some sort of reference to the fact that Hupe didn't/doesn't want to press charges. What all of you are forgetting or ignoring is the fact that where domestic violence is concerned, normally the state, rather than the victim, ends up pressing charges - for lots of reasons that I'm sure most of you already know. If - IF - the police report is correct, dragging a female out of her car by her wrists sure sounds like domestic violence to me.
- October 24, 2006 7:59 PM
Matsut, point well taken about the state's discretion to press charges when a DV victim elects not to. However, this is a doubtful case because there is no indication that the defendant has pressured the victim to drop the charges, that the defendant had a history of this behavior, that the victim suffered significant physical or mental trauma, or any other factor that would lead a prosecutor to press on with the case. A proesecutor is not going to turn every scuffle over car keys into a domestic violence case. However, it would be helpful to know more facts.

strange co-incidence????
a global e-mail went out to the entire university community this evening at 8:24 PM from the Head of HR and the Health System....
this is how it started, and it contained the ENTIRE policy:
Dear Colleagues,
The following is the UM Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy, which is being distributed to all faculty, staff and students to comply with a federal mandate. Excessive alcohol use is especially detrimental to the success of the academic community. As a staff or faculty member you can make a difference in creating a healthier campus community if you will:
* Avoid making comments that encourage or condone underage drinking or high-risk drinking. Faculty can sometimes inadvertently make comments that support the alcohol culture among college students as normal and acceptable behavior.
* Not alter class or test schedules to avoid times that typically precede or follow heavy drinking occasions, such as Fridays, Homecoming, St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, or Spring Break. Students often use special events as excuses to drink heavily and procrastinate about their academic responsibilities.
* If you have concerns about a student's alcohol or other drug use, please refer them to Counseling and Psychological Services, which is free to all enrolled students. For more information contact: 764-8312.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this important health issue on our campus.

He won't play Saturday. Bet money on it.

But when the subject turned, at long last, to race, "Obama produced a bluntness and lively engagement that had been absent for most of the preceding hour." From the transcript (with my boldfacing):
Well, I should say at the outset that Skip Gates is a friend, so I may be a little biased here. I don't know all the facts. What's been reported though is that the guy forgot his keys, jimmied his way to get into the house. There was a report called in to the police station that there might be a burglary taking place. So far, so good, right? I mean, if I was trying to jigger into -- well, I guess this is my house now, so...(LAUGHTER)... it probably wouldn't happen. But let's say my old house in Chicago. (LAUGHTER)I had 3 responses to Obama's Gates statement. (I'm not counting the brief interlude when I thought I could get credit for coining the term "Gatesgate." I can't.)
Here, I'd get shot. (LAUGHTER)
My understanding is, at that point, Professor Gates is already in his house. The police officer comes in. I'm sure there's some exchange of words. But my understanding is, is that Professor Gates then shows his I.D. to show that this is his house and, at that point, he gets arrested for disorderly conduct, charges which are later dropped.
Now, I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact.
As you know, Lynn, when I was in the state legislature in Illinois, we worked on a racial profiling bill because there was indisputable evidence that blacks and Hispanics were being stopped disproportionately. And that is a sign, an example of how, you know, race remains a factor in the society.
That doesn't lessen the incredible progress that has been made. I am standing here as testimony to the progress that's been made. And yet the fact of the matter is, is that, you know, this still haunts us.
And even when there are honest misunderstandings, the fact that blacks and Hispanics are picked up more frequently and often time for no cause casts suspicion even when there is good cause.
And that's why I think the more that we're working with local law enforcement to improve policing techniques so that we're eliminating potential bias, the safer everybody is going to be. All right? Thank you, everybody.
1. On hearing the statement live: If you don't know the facts, why are you saying the police acted "stupidly"? The President's own words collapse on themselves. How dare he take sides? Gates has already signed a statement, along with the police, saying "This incident should not be viewed as one that demeans the character and reputation of Professor Gates or the character of the Cambridge Police Department," and here is the President of the United States taking it upon himself to demean the character and reputation of the Cambridge Police Department and to (sort of) vouch for the Gates version on the story.
2. The morning after: It really was stupid for the police to arrest Gates, and it's a stupidity that stands apart from whether the police or the Gates version of the story is accurate. Considering who Gates is and where he was, he's a sympathetic character or, if you don't think he's fully sympathetic, he's certainly capable of playing this incident big, as in fact he did. Thus, it was stupid to give him this platform.
3. As I started writing this post: As he was speaking, I think, the President realized his words collapsed on themselves. He said he didn't know the facts, and yet he called the police stupid. To get out of that jam, he decided to veer into a riff about racism in general, asserting that "there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately." (I love the way he threw Latinos into that.) He celebrates what he sees as or hopes you see as his escape from the jam by asserting "That's just a fact." He didn't know the facts of the specific case, but hey, look over here, here's a fact: There is racism in this country, we all know that. He then tumbles toward the end of the hour with an acknowledgment of what he knows a lot of people will say — that he made it to the presidency, and, yeah, there's been "incredible progress" — and a reprise about racism — it haunts us — and reform, reform is important. He worked in the Illinois legislature. Let's improve policing. Let's make everybody safer. He's just trying to wrap things up and get out of there looking reasonably okay. "All right? Thank you, everybody."

USFWS National Digital Library
Sanford R. Wilbur, March 15, 2004, Phone Interview by Mark Madison
Started with the Service as trainee program went to work for refuges. Wilderness Act
passed in 1964 moved to Portland Regional office on Wilderness studies for several
years. In the 1960s there were only 3 "birders" Gene Kridler, Dave Marshall and
Wilbur. Most of other FWS were wildlife management types, hunters, anglers. 1966 red
book being put together by John Aldrich et al. Initially Red Book was mostly birds.
Everyone was scratching heads and saying "do you know anything that ought to be on the
list." In 1967 Patuxent had sent first 2 endangered species biologists in Hawaii. Wilbur
was out there with them for a while.
Fred Sibley left condor program in 1969 and Wilbur took over that same year 1969.
Wilbur had grown up in bay area and lived in CA and Condor had always been a love of
his life. Two things led to him getting job: 1) he knew Dave Marshall and Ray Erickson
(wrote original FWS report on Condor). 2) Ray had been convinced for some time the
condor was not going to be saved by conventional methods the program had been going
on for so long. Ray was ready to make a contingency plan. Ray had been working with
Andean condors at Patuxent to work on contingencies. Ray wanted someone who could
also do Public Relations to not only do research but could talk about program. Wilbur
had written articles and even done some acting, had spoken publicly about Wilderness
Act. Erickson felt they would have to "sell" the captive breeding program.
The public involvement was not really there into the 1960s. Erickson and Marshall wrote
a report on proposed dam on Sespe water project and one result of the report was to get
Fred Sibley assigned as first FWS biologist for condors. Fred's main job was to study
effects of disturbance on CA condor and see what effects are. Sibley did a lot of field
work and library work and did a lot of historical research. His main publication was in house
survey on effects of Sespe water project on Condors. He noted you should not
have big projects within a mile of condor nests. Sibley's report killed the water dam
project. Sibley left FWS after Santa Barbara oil spill felt FWS was too silent on bird
damage of oil spill.
Wilbur came in afterward. Wilbur was to study general location and productivity of
condors, effect of food supplies, pesticides, animal control programs, and a means to
census the birds. Between 1969-81 those were Wilbur's tasks—main theme was: condor
mortality (past and present) and food supply.
To study mortality found out where condor skins and eggs were in collections. Many
condor eggs were taken by oologists as part of egg-collecting fad. Scientific and hobby
collection may led to initial decimation up to 1920. Malicious shooting was hard to
document since there was not a good records of this. Using the paltry existing records
tried to develop some estimate of malicious shooting and found this may have been the
biggest thing still affecting mortality in the 1970s. Also poisoning for predator and
ground squirrel control was an issue. Ground squirrels were very actively poisoned by
strychnine and Compound 1080. Squirrels were blamed for bubonic plague, but reality
was they dug too many holes and ate too much grain on farmers and ranchers lands. In late 1800s grizzly and wolves were poisoned into extirpation but the evidence for killing
condors was not clear. Problem in the 1970s was to determine if compound 1080 (used
for squirrels) was killing condors. Wilbur concluded there was no evidence that 1080
killed condors, Strychnine did probably kill a few. Concluded this was a bird species that
has no real enemies so any mortality is critical especially when it exceeds productivity.
Developed a technical committee with NAS, CFG, BLM, FS, FWS. Eventually
developed what became a recovery plan. One of the results was there was not much left
to do in the wild. The FS was totally into habitat, Sespe was one of the most inviolate
sanctuaries of the time, even the few researchers had to have permits. Shooting was bad
but extremely difficult to control. Recovery plan did recommend buying some
inholdings with condor nests. Felt all these habitat recommendations were good none of
this would be enough what was needed was a contingency plan to captively breed.
Captive breeding was very controversial in CA. In the 1950s when a San Diego Zoo
tried to start a captive breeding program (had learned double clutching with Andean
condors at zoo, getting more than one egg a year normal). At same time Koford's study
hit streets in the 1950s and said condors were in bad shape and you should not do
anything to them at all, Koford enlisted Ike and Ed Macmillan and they got a state law
passed in the 1950s that condors could not be taken for any purposes. Law prevented any
taking of condors. Law precluded radio transmitters any captive breeding, any banding
for scientific studies. So Sibley's hands were tied to get scientific evidence. The
Technical Committee was not willing to take the flak in this era to go against the statute
passed in the 1950s. CA law was very rigid. ESA was too new for this type of political
fight. Wilbur felt needed to get NAS, CFG behind the captive breeding to change law.
So they went on for a number of years hoping that normal recovery would do the job.
But every time they did a census the numbers were clearly declining. Finally, in
desperation Wilbur wrote a long-letter explaining what he thought was happening with
the population. Came to conclusion either condors were suffering a lag effect from say
DDT (condors suffered egg shell thinning) and everything would improve or else, more
likely we would sit on the side lines and watch them age and go extinct. Finally technical
committee decided to tackle this. Initially involved just getting some markers on the
birds to track them. Then situation became so dire that these markers were abandoned to
full ahead with captive breeding.
Captive breeding was supported by most of the biologists and public in the know---those
who understood this was last chance. Time and money costs were an issue.
Philosophically some felt a condor in the cage was not really a condor. FWS was still
hesitant because they thought it would be a hot potato. Eventually got NAS, FS and CFG
on board for captive breeding program. Everything seemed lined up with partners but
plan sat for years in D.C. It finally took setting up a blue-ribbon committee through
AOU to break through road block. AOU Report confirmed recovery plan findings said
situation was even more dire. So D.C. moved ahead but at this time Public Relations
broke down.
Endangered Species are different than other species FWS worked with in the past. A lot
of mistakes were made, Wilbur lost his job in this era in 1981. Noel Snyder took Wilbur's job and NAS brought on John Ogden. Snyder and Ogden were great scientist
but bad PR people. Wilbur was blamed for slowing down captive breeding program.
Wilbur went to work for Area Office as "undercover coordinator". Some bad PR
happened a chick was killed while handling. A fire was set while practicing using a
cannon net for capturing condors. They were shut down for a couple of years following
these disasters. When they finally decided all the birds had to be captured then Audubon
pulled out of program around 1985.
NAS and University of CA were first groups interested. They got Koford funded, got FS
to set up sanctuaries. They got first CA state laws and worked with CFG. FWS in early
years was on negative side—they had predator and rodent control function. It was not till
1966 that federal control over condor occurred, but in effect NAS and CFG were still
deeply involved. It was all cooperative, FWS could not tell FS what to do . NAS was in
public sides, condor naturalist of NAS, John Borneman, helped a lot. Good partnership
but nobody really had authority at the time. NAS became a partner later without
Condors have died of lead poisoning but real threat is hard to discern. NAS wanted FWS
to buy Bitter Creek (Hudson Ranch) at time of taking all birds out of wild and this was a
political issue (circa 1984-1985). Wilbur did not support taking all the birds in. Felt the
whole condor program had such a small gene pool for so long. Some geneticists Wilbur
talked to felt this was not an issue for such a long-lived bird species. Wilbur felt you
should keep some in the wild because very few people were interested in zoo condors.
Also Wilbur felt having condors in habitat for FS and other agencies was critical to keep
down development. Felt there was so much pressure on habitat that if you did not keep
up interest in birds in habitat when you put them back in 10-20 years there might not be
any habitat left to release them to. Birds were still producing in the wild, there weren't
very many and they weren't enough but to take them all in meant we had given up on the
wild population.
World divided into 3.
1. Those who didn't know condors or care.
2. Those who thought should be saved at all costs.
3. Those who considered it a "relict of Pleistocene" and doomed to extinction.
[Last one was used 2 ways. Used to justify drilling or any development. Others who
loved condors and felt sad about its demise.]
Wilbur had to support #2 because for recovery team "it was our job." Countered #3 by
saying yes it was shrinking range and diminishing of food source certainly down from
Pleistocene. Yet everything bad that happened to condor since 1600 was people driven.
Even in Wilbur's career once saw 18 in one flock and then they declined precipitously.
Later Andean condor was listed which added complexity. Andean very similar to CA
condor. Andean was a great surrogate to get ideas of CA condor for to get ideas such as
double-clutching (found first in San Diego Zoo). Some of the things the Andean condor was used for not so good. Andeans were released into CA habitat and then later all taken
into habitat. Was supposed to tell about habitat or hold habitat for CA condors. "Talk
about a public relations nightmare, there are still people who feel condors carry off cows
and such, Andean condors has been known to kill small mammals." Stan Temple and
Mike Wallace showed you can get a lot more condors produced in captivity than in the
wild. You knew you could produce more in captivity, question was would they form a
self-sustaining independent unit again in the wild. In wild condors lay only one egg in
each clutch. Takes so long for young to hatch and get independent you can only nest
every 2nd year. When mortality grows you can quickly start declining. Double and triple
clutching you can take egg away and get them to raise more eggs. First year in the 1950s
in San Diego zoo got 6 eggs and young in one year's time. In 1981 25 birds left in
population now approx. 250 birds.
Wilbur initially opposed "egg-napping" the poor PR term for taking eggs from wild to
raise in captivity. But it turned out to work well.
In 1970s and 1980s most of critical habitat was in the National Forest and they were
mostly concerned about inholdings in Los Padres. They had a list of 9 inholdings they
wanted to protect from oil drilling etc. Recovery plan recommended buying Hopper
Ranch. Big one they proposed buying Tejon Ranch felt condor survival depended on
buying this. Tejon Ranch is combination of 3 Spanish land grants take in all of
Tehachapi Mountains over 200,000 acres of land. They do a lot of farming on San Joaquin
on floor. Hillsides were used for cattle ranching and completely locked up. Would have
been ideal condor sanctuary could see it from Hopper ridge. Cattle was fine for condors,
but later as development threatened then condors have troubles. Attempted to create
some easement but it fell apart. Felt one of failures of program was not getting habitat or
looking far enough ahead to acquire habitat.
As regards human take with power lines etc. "Southern California is a hell of a place to
make a last stand for an endangered species." When they started releasing the zoo birds
they had tried to feed them with puppets but they were still a lot tamer than birds should
be. Releasing birds in small flocks they became gangs, they started doing things they
don't normally do like perch on a power line and invade people's homes and tear up
furniture. The more they release birds the more they are becoming adaptable to wild.
Question about what type of cohorts to release them with should they all be the same age
or different ages.
Confusions cost support but success is even better than expected.

After two solid weeks of Republicans rapidly escalating attacks on contraception access under the banner of "religous [sic] freedom," Obama finally announced what the White House is proposing an accomodation [sic] of religiously affiliated employers who don't want to offer birth control coverage as part of their insurance plans.Yeah, rotten spelling/proofreading, but give her a chance. Normally, I can't stand Marcotte, but I think she's homing in on the truth:
In those situations, the insurance companies will have to reach out directly to employees and offer contraception coverage for free, without going through the employer. Insurance companies are down with the plan... contraception actually saves insurance companies money, since it's cheaper than abortion and far cheaper than childbirth.Remember the economies of the "blue pill" and the don't-call-them-death-panels for end-of-life human beings? There's lots of money to be saved at life's onset. Insurance companies (and the safety-net-providing government) stand to save lots of money through pregnancy — and child! — prevention. It makes economic sense to incentivize the use of birth control. A woman has a right to choose whether to have children or not, but the government may nudge the woman toward its preferred choice. It is good economic policy to push women to avoid having babies until they've got a stable relationship and a solid economic foundation, so clear the path to the relatively inexpensive pills and poisons and devices that keep the sperm and the egg from acquiring a will of their own.
Another point, which Marcotte doesn't make, is that many, many healthy individuals are about to be forced to spend thousands of dollars a year on health insurance, and there needs to be a decent flow of seemingly "free" things so that they don't get too upset about it. Birth control is perfect for this. It's something women use — continually — when they are perfectly healthy. Face it: Birth control is about preventing an important bodily function from working. Now, the birth control won't be free, because everyone paying into the insurance pool will be covering the cost, but the women who use the birth control will have the feeling that they're getting something. That's a special kind of palliative care that the designers of Obamacare are going to want to cover.
So did Obama "pull a fast one" on conservatives, as Marcotte surmises?
He drew this out for two weeks, letting Republicans work themselves into a frenzy of anti-contraception rhetoric, all thinly disguised as concern for religious liberty, and then created a compromise that addressed their purported concerns but without actually reducing women's access to contraception, which is what this has always been about....Now, those who complained about the old rule have a choice whether to move on to some other traditional-values issue or to find a way to say that the problem is still there. If they do the latter — as Rush Limbaugh did a series of semi-coherent rants on his show yesterday — they're going to annoy/scare the millions of women who use contraception and the millions and millions of women and men who want other people to use contraception. (Don't forget the "Freakonomics" theory connecting the avoidance of unwanted pregnancy to a reduction in crime.)
Marcotte thinks the conservatives will give up on this issue and exults that "the damage has already been done."
[W]hat most people will remember is that Republicans picked a fight with Obama over contraception coverage and lost. This also gave Obama a chance to highlight this benefit and take full credit for it. Obama needs young female voters to turn out at the polls in November, and hijacking two weeks of the news cycle to send the message that he's going to get you your birth control for free is a big win for him in that department.And let's not forget — Marcotte doesn't mention this — that the birth control fracas peaked precisely when a story was breaking that should have made the administration look weak on a women's rights issues: the decision limiting women in the military. As I noted yesterday, Michelle Obama was deployed on a nutrition-in-the-military mission on the very day that decision was announced. So there is good reason to think the Obama campaign is sharply focused on manipulating the minds of constituents who care about women's issues.
As Marcotte said: "It's all so perfect that I'm inclined to think this was Obama's plan all along."

Proper roof replacement is the difference in years of a lasting roof over your head and a roof with leaks and other problems. Properly done, your new roof should come out looking nice, and neat, with nothing but straight lines running from top to bottom, side to side. If done wrong, your new roof may end up coming out unlevel Why Are All the Roof Replacement Estimates Priced So Diversely? Dallesport WA 98617 and crooked.
Whether you're getting new architectural shingles, cedar shakes, or regular three tab shingles, you're going to want a professional roofing company that knows all the right steps and things to do when it comes to installing your new roof.
The Roof Replacement Process
Before we go in-depth into each step in the roof replacement process, here is a short list of Dallesport WA 98617 the major steps that are going to happen when you get your new roof.
- Tear Off
- Re-Felting
- Applying New Shingles
Now let's touch on each subject individually so you, the customer, will have an idea of what exactly is going on when those roofers are up on your roof banging away for hours
Tearing Off
Oftentimes, the most grueling part of the entire roof What Are the Advantages of Commercial Roof Repair? Dallesport WA 98617 replacement process is the tearing off of your old roof. Nearly every time, your old roof is going to need to be taken off and eventually hauled away to a dump before you can put your new roof on and fix any problems you may have with your old roof.
Every inch of old shingles must be taken off and the Dallesport WA 98617 whole roof cleaned and swept away of any loose debris before the next step of putting on felt can occur.
After your old roof has been removed, and any old nails or loose debris is removed, a clean layer of felt, or tar paper, must be laid down to help prevent your roof from any leaks.
The felt is laid down on Dallesport WA 98617 top of the roof's plywood and goes in between the plywood and the final layer of shingles. Felting a roof helps to prevent the ingress of moisture and to further waterproof your roof.
Tar paper or felt is not very wind resistant or sun resistant, but does help prevent moisture from being trapped in your roof. The layer of shingles that Dallesport WA 98617 goes on next will be what is going to really protect your roof from the elements
Application of New Shingles
The final major step in your roof replacement is the applying of new shingles over the layer of felt that we just discussed.
The new layer of shingles that are put on must be aligned properly and cut perfectly in order for everything Dallesport WA 98617 on your roof to match up and come out looking great. Roofers will often "cut lines" with chalk to ensure a straight roof from end to end.
Customers have choices on what type of shingles they want and different shingles offer different warranties for how long your roof will last.
Whichever type of shingles you choose to go with, you now know Dallesport WA 98617 the steps of what will be going on when it comes time for your new roof replacement.
