More than a year after the Los Angeles Fire Department was faulted for slower emergency response times and faulty response data, Fire Chief Brian Cummings acknowledged Tuesday his agency needs to develop a full, transparent plan to deal with the issues.
Over a two-hour session before the City Council, Cummings said earlier figures on response times were incorrect and the department is in the process of analyzing how it tracks both medical and fire emergency responses.
"I am not going to let this go," Councilman Eric Garcetti said to Cummings. "This is a difficult conversation to have. I like you as a person, but you are the chief and I want you to answer these questions that came out of my own frustration about getting the data and what do we do to move forward.
"We don't need finger-pointing and we don't need to be defensive, but we need to have action and we need it now."
Cummings and the department have been under criticism for the lags in response times across the city, the inaccurate data provided to officials and the potential threat to public safety.
To resolve those issues, Cummings created a task force that included officials from the Santa Monica-based RAND think tank, the Los Angeles Police Department and other agencies familiar with computer-aided dispatching systems and emergency response.
RAND has said it will seek grants to allow it to continue its work at no cost to the city, Cummings said.
The task force came up with 17 recommendations to implement in the coming months -- on everything from providing more information to the public on response times around the city to development of the proposed FireStat program.
Cummings said the biggest problem with the response time has been the cuts to the department budget -- more than $89 million that resulted in the loss of more than 300 firefighters.
"The simple answer is money," Cummings said. "If you give us the money, we can get more people and we can give you the fire service you want."
The department this past year saw its budget increased by $40 million and it has requested an additional $50 million next year, which would enable it to hire its first class of new recruits in several years.
Councilman Mitch Englander, who also has been critical of the department, said he does not believe the agency recognizes the seriousness of the issue and has shown "an unwillingness to fix response data."
"This is just another example of kicking the can down the road," Englander said. "The city controller conducted an audit showing the LAFD used an outdated, nonverifiable system."
Controller Wendy Greuel said the council was missing an opportunity to force the department to change.
"Over six months ago, I released an audit which called the Fire Department to task on how to improve tracking response times so they can better allocate resources," Greuel said.
"This type of response from the council today is a day late and a dollar short. The discussion is long overdue and must be a top priority."
Greuel said the department should be able to accurately track its data, despite cuts in funding.
City Administrative Office Miguel Santana said he is working to hire a consultant for the department to assist in developing a three- to five-year implementation plan.
Cummings and the department also came under fire Tuesday for an incident involving a hula dancer -- wearing high heels and short shorts -- who filmed a short video using Fire Department uniforms and equipment at Venice Fire Station 63.
The video, called Firehouse Burlesque, also shows several firefighters watching the dance.
Cummings said he has referred the matter to the LAFD's Professional Standards Bureau to pursue.
"I would be inappropriate for me to comment on this while it is under investigation," Cummings said.
The issue is particularly sensitive to the department because last year it faced criticism after firefighters at the same Venice station allowed one of their trucks to be used in a 2008 porn film shoot.

You may want to play with the idea that we are three people whose combined experience creates the synergy that benefits our customers, whether they hire just one or all three of us for a project.
We want a clean font that looks good online, on paper, and on shirts or bags. We prefer to stay with three or fewer colors in the logo. We like blue or red, but not together. We detest orange and don't like green but it is OK if it is an accent color.

With the holidays just around the corner, we often find ourselves thinking about reconnecting with family and friends, as well as nurturing new relationships — perhaps, even romantic ones. Amidst hectic days, it is surely easiest to fire off an email, text, or even Skype to reach out. But there may be powerful reasons to consider taking pen to paper and writing a letter instead.
The art of penning a handwritten letter hasn't changed much since Roman times, but the tradition came under threat with the invention of email in 1971 and the decline has continued to accelerate ever since. The U.S. Postal Service reports a drop of 10 billion letters in the past 20 years. However, psychologists argue that it may not be wise to abandon this long standing cultural practice for the ease and convenience of more modern forms of communication.
Contemporary research suggests that letter writing has many positive mental health benefits for both the recipient and the letter writer alike.
The value of a handwritten letter for its recipient is that it is without a doubt an expression of time and care. Taking the time to select paper, carefully craft your words, purchase a stamp and mail cannot help but be noticed. In our frantic lives, a letter clearly says to someone, "You are important to me and I still have time for you."
Nothing feels so wonderful and builds confidence and self esteem as knowing that someone is thinking about you and making considerable effort to communicate their feelings, thoughts and sentiments. Text messages embellished with hearts and kissy face emojiis are simply not the same.
In addition to the satisfaction of knowing you have improved someone's day by sending a letter, science has linked the act of letter writing to enhanced mood, reduced stress and overall improved well being. Martin Seligman, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania and an authority on depression, states that writing a letter of appreciation and gratitude improves both physical and mental health with effects that can last for weeks.
In a 2012 study, researcher Steven Toepfer asked 219 women to write three letters in three weeks. He discovered that letter writing over a continuous period can have positive cumulative effect on measures of personal happiness, life satisfaction and depressive symptoms.
Psychologists conclude that the value of writing a letter can have particular benefit following a trauma. According to a 2013 study in the Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine, writing down your feelings helps both physical and emotional wounds heal faster — helping the writer to both make sense of events and reduce stress.
It is argued that the act of letter writing is a practice in mindfulness and moment to moment reflection that often facilitates the expression of difficult affects like anger, shame and grief. New data show that physically handwriting a letter is significantly more emotionally engaging than digitally creating one. Becky Spelman suggests that letter writing is especially cathartic because, "it taps into a very personal part of our psyche and opens up parts of ourselves that often stay locked away."
Ironically, while psychologists provide compelling recent data about the value of letter writing for both writer and recipient, novelists have long recognized the power and import of letters and have often made them the vehicles with which they tell their story. Authors view personal letters as a timestamp in history, allowing the reader to truly appreciate the details of world as it was. Indeed, it was the only way available to the generations before us to keep love and caring alive and share written snapshots of the important moments in their lives.
The novels I am recommending do a wonderful job of reminding us just how powerful and profoundly moving letters can be and how much we stand to lose if we abandon this time-honored, traditional form of communication.
"Last Christmas In Paris: A Novel of World War I," by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb, is an extraordinarily poignant and compelling story of love, loss and renewal told solely through the shared correspondence of four friends during the long, painful years of World War I.
Best friends Will Elliott and Thomas Harding head off from England to fight the Germans at the outset of the war, leaving behind Will's younger sister Evie and her close friend Alice Cuthbert. Like many they imagine swift victory and plan to reunite to celebrate Christmas in Paris.
But war changes people, priorities and dreams. For newly-minted recruits Thomas and Will, the cruel reality of life in the trenches quickly erodes innocence. Letter by letter, they share news of long, cold marches, lack of supplies and of course, the tragic loss of youthful friends.
But hope manages to survive amidst tragedy, in the blossoming friendship between Tom and Evie. For Evie Elliott, the war at first seems like a grand adventure denied to her by gender and privilege, where she can do nothing more than knit socks and await marriage proposals. Despite British propaganda boasting of victories, the war takes a tremendous human toll, leaving Evie and Alice grieving and desperate to do their part. Over the years, Tom and Evie grow close. But, can love actually bloom amidst the horror of war, or will fate leave them simply wondering what could have been?
"The Lost Letter," by Jillian Cantor, is an utterly captivating, eloquent and emotionally charged story of love lost and love found, that moves flawlessly between Austria in 1938 and Los Angeles in 1989.
The story begins in Austria in 1938. Kristoff is a young apprentice stamp engraver living in the home of his Jewish teacher. On Kristallnacht his beloved mentor is taken away and Kristoff is forced to quickly learn to engrave quality stamps for the Nazi regime.
The one bright spot is Elena, his mentor's beautiful and passionate daughter. Together they work to send messages and forge documents for the Austrian resistance. As infatuation grows into love, so does the danger that surrounds them. Kristoff must now find a way to save Elena from death and possibly himself as well.
In Los Angeles in 1989, Katie Nelson is struggling with a new divorce and caring for her memory impaired father. While cleaning out the family home, she discovers what she hopes will be a valuable stamp on an old, unsent love letter.
When Katie takes it to Benjamin Grossman, a smart, young stamp appraiser- the two begin a powerful journey to discover the true story behind the stamp. Along the way they uncover the powerful and untold story of Elena and Kristoff.
"Lost Letter" is a story of love, sacrifice and courage. Will they find that Kristoff's passion for Elena is strong enough to save her from the brutality of war? Is it possible that Benjamin and Elena will discover a love story of their own?
"The Letter," by Kathryn Hughes, is a beautifully told, often tragic but uplifting tale of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Tina Craig is a young woman trapped in an abusive marriage in 1973. She continues to hope that her husband's alcohol fueled rage can change, despite evidence to the contrary.
One day while working in a thrift shop she discovers an old love letter written during World War II in which a heartbroken young man heading off to war begs his girlfriend Chrissie to forgive him for his own poor behavior. Despite personal heartbreak,Tina is determined to uncover the true story behind this love letter and return it to its rightful owner.
Told in alternating chapters, this tale of two women separated by decades, will leave you breathless. Will Tina succeed in her endeavor and, if so, does she discover that love can truly outweigh pain?Book Smart is a monthly column by Nancy Harris of Scituate, a practicing psychologist and a former instructor of psychology at Harvard Medical School.

Excel Services makes it possible for you to view and interact with Excel workbooks (.xlsx and xslb file formats) in the browser, even if you do not have Excel installed on your computer. If Excel is installed on your computer, you can use Excel Services to publish a workbook on a SharePoint site. Then, you can share the workbook across your enterprise, and control access by using site permissions. Workbook data is secure, whether the data is stored with the workbook or comes from an external source such as a database. With Excel Services, you can maintain just one copy of an important workbook, instead of trying to manage many copies on many different computers. You can make sure that only trusted authors can change the workbook.
If you want to use all or part of the workbook on a dashboard or other site page, you can connect the workbook to an Excel Web Access Web Part. You can also customize the appearance and functionality of the Excel Web Access Web Part by configuring properties such as the size of area in which to display the workbook, which options appear on the toolbar, and the kinds of interaction that are available to the user (such as supplying input values for parameters and downloading). In addition, you can connect the Excel Web Access Web Part to other Web Parts, such as a Current User Web Part or a Filter Web Part.
In this article
What is Excel Services?
Excel Services is a SharePoint technology that extends Excel by using server technology. It lets a user access a workbook from the browser, while the server manages security and storage for the workbook and does any calculations that might be required. Users can navigate or sort and filter data in the workbook in the browser.
The workbook author can designate certain cells in the source workbook as parameters, which enables users to input values for run-time calculations. If the user's computer has Excel installed and the user has appropriate permissions, the user can capture and save a snapshot of the workbook in the browser, or download the workbook and work on it in Excel.
Excel Services has three main components that work together to publish a workbook on a SharePoint site:
1. Excel Calculation Services is the "engine" of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. It loads the workbook, calculates in full fidelity with Microsoft Excel 2010, refreshes external data, and maintains sessions. Excel Calculation Services performs calculations on the server; users cannot access functions and formulas directly.
3. Excel Web Services provides an application-programming interface (API) that developers can use to build custom applications based on the Excel workbook.
Because Excel Services is a SharePoint technology, you can take advantage of features such as security and access management, server-based performance management, and scalability.
How do Excel Services and Excel work together?
When Excel and Excel Services work together, Excel is the authoring tool and Excel Services is a reporting tool. That is, you create a workbook in Excel, and then save the workbook to a SharePoint site. Then you can open the workbook in the browser or use the workbook in a Web Part.
1. A workbook author uses Excel to create the workbook. The author can choose from many different Excel features, such as tables or PivotTables, charts, and filters. In addition, the author can specify named items for selective viewing, or define parameters to accept user input from Excel Services.
2. The workbook author saves the workbook to a document library (or to a network or Web folder), where it is managed and secured by an administrator.
3. The workbook author and other users can create reports and Web Part Pages that use the workbook.
4. Many business users can access the workbook by viewing it in a browser. If the author created external data connections, users can even refresh the data. Administrators can control security and access to the workbook.
5. With appropriate permissions, users can copy the current state of the workbook and the results of any interactions (such as sorting and filtering) that happened during the current session to a local computer for further analysis in Excel.
Interacting with a workbook in Excel Services
Although you cannot edit the data in an Excel workbook in Excel Services, you can interact with the data in a number of ways. The following table provides a list of articles that might help you start interacting with a workbook in Excel Services.
View the latest formula results by recalculating data in the workbook
Refresh live data from an external data source, such as a database or an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube.
Sort information in workbook columns
Use filters to select only the values that match your criteria.
Use Search to find target values in the worksheet.
Using charts and PivotChart reports in a workbook in the browser
Make the workbook more useful by incorporating charts or Pivot Table reports.
Temporarily change the values of cells by entering values for parameters to update the results of a formula or do simple what-if analysis.
Copy the workbook to Excel, and then use all the features of Excel, for well-formatted printing.
Publishing a workbook to a SharePoint site
To publish a workbook to a SharePoint site, you must first create the workbook in Excel. You can include many Excel features such as tables, charts, and PivotTables.
Tip: Excel Services supports most Excel features, although it supports some in a slightly different way. For more information about supported and unsupported features, see Differences between using a workbook in the browser and in Excel.
The following table provides a list of articles that can help you publish a workbook to Excel Services.
Describes how to publish a workbook, and how to use options such as parameters and named items
Describes how to edit a published workbook
Connecting to external data
An Excel workbook might store all data with the workbook, or it might use data connections to access externally stored data. When you publish a workbook to Excel Services, data storage is similar, whether the workbook is stored in a document library, or used in an Excel Web Access Web Part. Some workbooks in Excel Services store all the data in the workbook, and other workbooks have one or more connections to external data sources, such as a database or OLAP cube.
A data connection includes information about how to locate, log in, query, and access the external data source. Although connection information can be stored in the workbook, often it is stored in an Office Data Connection (.odc) file, especially when many users share the data and you might need to update the connection information periodically. The workbook author or an administrator can create the connection information by using Microsoft Excel to author the connection, and then export the connection information to an .odc file. For more information about how to author connections to external data in an Excel workbook, see Overview of connecting to (importing) data.
To make it easier to store, secure, share, and manage .odc files, an administrator can specify a SharePoint Server 2010 Data Connection Library as a trusted location library (DCL). Then, an administrator can manage any revisions to the connection information from a single central file, such as a change from a test server to a production server. A refresh operation, whether on the client or server computer, gets up-to-date changes to that connection file. You can even set up SharePoint Services and a user's client computer to detect changes to the connection file automatically. For more information about data connection libraries, see Share and manage connections to external data.
Excel Services and Information Rights Management
Information Rights Management (IRM) is a technology that protects information from unauthorized access. IRM can provide protection for a document or workbook, and ensure only appropriate people view sensitive information. For example, you can use IRM to make sure that only select members of an executive committee can access certain financial data before the data becomes publicly available.
Windows SharePoint Services Version 3.0 or later supports IRM on a document library and all the documents in that library (whether or not those individual documents are enabled with IRM). When you upload a document to a document library that is enabled with IRM, the document, in effect, becomes IRM-enabled.
Excel Services will not load an Excel workbook that has been enabled with IRM or comes from a document library enabled with IRM. For more information, see Information Rights Management in Office 2010.

I wish I lived near a military base while I was the manager at a hotel. I did, however, live near a college and my BEST HIRE EVER was a college student who is also a National Guard Soldier. I would, IN A HEARTBEAT hire a military spouse. The flexibility of scheduling works well for those with children, there are several options for shifts available, and it would be THE LEAST I could do to support a spouse who is supporting our country and keeping their family sane at the same time.

Subscribe To Neighbors Red Band Trailer: Seth Rogen And Zac Efron Go Head-to-Head Updates
I've already subscribed
With James Franco getting the celebrity roast treatment tonight on Comedy Central, Seth Rogen has taken the opportunity to give audiences a preview of his new film. A red band trailer for the upcoming comedy Neighbors - formerly known as Townies - has arrived online courtesy of MTV.
Directed by Nicholas Stoller, who previously helmed both Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Five-Year Engagement, the new film centers on a young couple (Rogen, Rose Byrne) who have just had their first child and are looking to start living a nice quiet life in the suburbs. This plan is interrupted, however, when a frat house from the local university moves in next door. While the couple initially try to recapture their youth and hang with the college kids, eventually the relationship between the two houses completely deteriorates and they find themselves in all-out war.
The weirdest thing about this red band trailer is the simple fact that it completely lacks anything red band. The only bit in the entire spot getting anywhere near R-rated is the scene where Christopher Mintz-Plasse is having sex with a girl in the bushes next to the house, but the truth is that we've seen more risque stuff in green-band trailers. Isn't it kind of weird that they don't even say "fuck" once? I'm curious what the MPAA found so objectionable about it. Perhaps the studio pushed the MPAA to give it a harsher rating because they wanted to be edgy showing a red band trailer on television.
In addition to the new trailer, The Playlist has also dug up three new stills from the movie - and there's a good chance you recognize them from the spot above. First we have Zac Efron, as the president of the frat, wearing his Travis Bickle costume (and Dave Franco pulling a perfect De Niro face in a Meet The Parents get-up):
Here is Efron doing some topless grilling while a couple of college girls stand nearby and chat:
And finally we have Efron smoking a pipe, Franco wielding a pair of gardening sheers, and Mintz-Plasse looking on from the background. It's easily the strangest of the group.
Neighbors also stars Lisa Kudrow, Jake Johnson, Ike Barinholtz, Jason Mantzoukas and Carla Gallow and will be in theaters on May 9th.

Bridgeport students on '60 Minutes'
BRIDGEPORT -- They talked of toiling in the dirt and heat to build classrooms in Kenya and of helping impoverished children in countries thousands of miles away.
But these kids from Bridgeport giggled like the schoolchildren they are as they gathered around a TV Sunday night to see their charitable endeavors during the summer profiled on a national news program.
"There we are, there we are!" shouted 15-year-old Gabby Torres as she and her pals from Black Rock's St. Ann School appeared on screen, stacking concrete blocks under the glare of the African sun and building what would become a dormitory for young girls.
Cheers went up from the more than 70 kids, parents and supporters gathered in St. Ann Principal Theresa Tillinger's family room as an episode of CBS' "60 Minutes" showed Joey Hopkins and Magdalena Dutkowska each being given a goat from members of the Maasai tribe for their help in building a new school.
Then there were the inevitable questions from classmates: What happened to the goat?
"I left him in Kenya," Hopkins said. "My mom said I could have a dog, but I think I would rather have kept the goat."
But these were some serious Bridgeport kids when it came to the problems facing children in underdeveloped countries.
"These children are a representative of a majority of children at St. Ann who have come to realize they are empowered to change the world," Tillinger said. "This has become a movement where children have become empowered, and I'm proud to have become a part of it."
And it all began with now 18-year-old Javell Watson.
Watson grew up in poverty in Jamaica and first met her father when she moved here to live with him at age 12.
As a student at St. Ann, she organized Oprah's Club and O Ambassadors, the worldwide anti-poverty program started by Oprah Winfrey to help children who were growing up as she had.
Watson's efforts to raise money for children living in poverty around the globe inspired Torres, Hopkins, Dutkowska and later, 13-year-old Cynthia Rivera, to carry on her efforts at the school.
Together, the four started a local chapter of Free the Children after their hero, Craig Kielburger, who as a 12-year-old Canadian boy, had started the international charity program.
They began making small beaded bracelets and soon had the whole school producing them for sale for the charity.
But Kenya still seemed far away.
"When the others began talking about going to Kenya, I wasn't sure I wanted to go," Hopkins said. "Then adults told me that it was a bad idea, that it wasn't for me, and that's when I knew I had to go."
So they raised the money and ventured to the East African nation, where their eyes were opened to a kind of poverty they said they had never seen before.
But that wasn't the end of it.
"We then grabbed bricks, mixed the cement and began building walls," said Torres, now a student at Lauralton Hall in Milford.
"Every day we would get up, have breakfast and then go out and grab shovels, grab bricks and get started," Hopkins said.
"We worked even when we would become dizzy from all the heat," Torres said.
When the locals residents saw the students were serious about chipping in, they sang them encouragement.
The four shouted "yes" in unison when asked if they would go back tomorrow.
But Sunday night, as they were congratulated and clapped on the back by their classmates and parents, the four were television stars.

WBEZ News
Crowds descend on downtown Chicago to protest school closings, 127 ticketed
More than 100 people were cleared away by police at a Wednesday rally protesting Chicago Public Schools' proposal to close 54 schools.
A group including teacher union officials, parents, janitors, lunch ladies and ministers sat down in front of City Hall. Police asked each individual to leave. When they refused, police led them away.
The Chicago Police Department says it ticketed 127 people. At the rally, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis called the closings a "land grab and a power grab," and said they were part of an attempt to privatize the school system. For more on the rally, see WBEZ coverage here.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel Wednesday stood by the district's decision to close schools, saying the status quo is not working.
Prior to the protest, the CTU had been training parents, teachers and community organizations in civil disobedience and had said it planned for 150 people to be arrested . A Facebook announcement for the rally warned, "They want to shut down our schools, we'll shut down the city."
Chicago's pubic schools are out for spring break this week, leaving students and teachers free to join in the rush-hour rally, organized by the teachers union and a coalition of other unions and community groups. Chicago Public Schools erected barricades Monday outside its headquarters in preparation. A spokeswoman said that's common practice in situations where the district gets advance word of a protest.
Chicago Public Schools is also preparing principals for acts of civil disobedience at their schools, though not necessarily today. A memo sent to principals at closing schools lists lockdowns, walk-outs, sit-ins and "Occupy" actions as possibilities. It outlines "overall guidelines for the prevention of civil disobedience" and suggests principals "be approachable and supportive to feelings of unrest, anxiety, or dissatisfaction." It also instructs principals to "observe and report all information regarding possible protestors, locations, dates and times," and to note which community organizations or news organizations are present.
In addition to closing 53 elementary schools and one small high school, the district wants to completely re-staff six additional elementary schools. It is also proposing 23 schools share 11 buildings beginning next fall; some of those are new schools that will just be opening.
The district says closing the 54 schools will offer students a better education because it will allow scarce resources to be spread across fewer schools. Many of the schools slated for closure have fewer than 300 students. For the first time in more than a decade of school closings, CPS is saying it will put significant money into receiving schools, promising students air conditioning, libraries with new books, "learning gardens" and iPads, along with social workers and counselors to help students adjust.
The teachers union has said it wants no schools closed, and parents at the individual schools slated for consolidation have brought up their own concerns, from longer walks to school in winter weather to fear for their children crossing into rival gang territory.
Earlier this month in Philadelphia, 19 activists were arrested at a meeting where the Philadelphia School Reform Commission voted to close 23 schools; the head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, was among those arrested. The Chicago Teachers Union says Weingarten, who appeared at rallies here during the teachers strike in September, is not expected to be in Chicago today.

Connecting information to business
OpenText Cloud
- Overview
- Global Infrastructure
- Applications
- Managed Services in the Cloud
The Cloud is quickly becoming a business imperative. What used to be discussed as a potential option for managing budgets, is now a strategic direction that drives competitive positioning, product innovation, business agility, and cost management.
The OpenText Cloud is a purpose-built cloud environment for enterprise solutions spanning Information Management, Compliance, and B2B Integration. Supported by a global, scalable, and secure infrastructure, OpenText Cloud includes a foundational platform of technology services, and packaged business applications for industry and business processes, supported by comprehensive Managed Cloud Services.

OpenText works with you to understand the right mix of cloud infrastructure with on-premises solutions to ensure information is secure, trusted, and governed.

Silverton Oregon Home Real Estate Inspection
ASHI & ICC certified home inspector in Silverton Oregon.
Certifications for testing & measurements. CAZ, EPA, BA, PTCS, itc
Welcome to Building Analyst Group Inc.
For over two decades Building Analyst Group Inc, a licensed general contractor for 20 years has helped clients in all sectors maximizing their investment and minimizing risk with comprehensive commercial property and home inspections. From large projects such as multi-location inspections across multiple states, to small local projects. Building Analyst Group Inc, offers consistent quality, professionalism to ensure the integrity of your investment.
What to Expect During a Home Inspection
The inspection could be the longest time you're in the house, after the showing.
What if the inspector finds something wrong? So wrong you can't buy the house?
Seriously, is this whole home-buying process over yet?
So take a deep breath. Because the most important thing to know about home inspection: It's just too good for you, as a buyer, to skip. Here's why.
We place ourselves in your shoes because yes we own a home!
A Home Inspector Is Your Protector
An inspector helps you make sure a house isn't hiding anything before you commit for the long haul. (Think about it this way: You wouldn't even get coffee with a stranger without checking out their history.)
A home inspector identifies any reasonably discoverable problems with the house (a leaky roof, faulty plumbing, etc.). Hiring an inspector is you doing your due diligence. To find a good one (more on how to do that soon), it helps to have an understanding of what the typical home inspection entails.
Our certified inspectors provide thorough, detailed home inspections that can be augmented with a variety of other applicable inspections like pools, spas, septic systems and more. Our Commercial & Home Building Inspections comply with the scope of work specified in ASTM E2018 and includes a comprehensive visual inspection of the building's construction including the following:
With nearly 30 years in the building trades our focus is to provide the consumer with satisfactory & professional services. This is why we offer more services to you & your investment.
A standard inspection should cover the below items
Furnace and AC Units
Electrical Panels & Outlets
Water Heater
Roof and Gutters
Kitchen Appliances / Counter Tops
Kitchen Cabinets
Foundation / Framing
Grading Landscaping
Driveways / Sidewalks
Porches / Decks
Stairs / Railings
Fences / Retaining Walls
Attics / Insulation
Floors / Walls / Ceilings
Doors and Windows
Siding and Trim
Plumbing System
Basements / Slabs
Sump Pumps
Garages / Carports
After we provide our professional visual inspection on the home or business, there are a few more interesting procedures you may consider.
Chimney Inspection Video: The interior lining of a fireplace chimney should be inspected prior to the purchase of a home, this may save you an additional expense. This inspection should be done after the chimney has been cleaned. We check for cracks and defects that are not covered by a standard inspection.
Pressurization test inspection on a home or business that has gas fired appliances: Very important that all fossil fuel appliance's will draft properly and burn efficiently. Back drafting of carbon monoxide will happen when a home has negative pressure. Exhaust fan's, leaky HVAC ductwork will cause negative pressure.
HVAC Airflow measurements and temperature difference in the duct system would pay for itself in the long run. Taking temperature measurements from the supply and return duct system will provide information on efficiency and defects. Taking airflow CFM measurements will also provide operational defects if any.

Middle Sister Wine Asks Others To Help A Sister Out
Napa, Calif.-based Canopy Management, a wine creation, sales and marketing company, introduces two additions to the Middle Sister family of wines portfolio—a female-focused charitable campaign and two new varietals.
Goody Two Shoes Pinot Noir and Surfer Chick Sauvignon Blanc join the other Middle Sisters which include Rebel Red, Wicked White, Smarty Pants Chardonnay, Forever Young Merlot, Drama Queen Pinot Grigio and Mischief Maker Cabernet Sauvignon. Another Canopy wine, Purple Cowboy, is the official wine of "Tough Enough To Wear Pink?," the western community campaign devoted to raising funds and breast cancer awareness through a series of rodeo events.
Created by Canopy Management in June 2008, Middle Sister wines, sourced from premium California winegrowing regions and blended in Sonoma County by one of the industry's most respected winemakers, were inspired by the quirky middle sister of one of the founding partners. The Canopy team developed unique names, appearances and personalities for each wine; the characters are whimsically illustrated and their personal stories appear on the back label.
Best of all, "Help a Sister Out" pledges one dollar per case of Middle Sister wine to Dress For Success, a national organization empowering underprivileged women to achieve financial independence through professional development. Middle Sister Wines also supports other charitable organizations dedicated to helping women and children including Wine, Women and Shoes, a fundraising event founded by Napa Valley's female vintners.
"We're thrilled to launch our new wines with the announcement of the 'Help a Sister Out' campaign", explains Canopy Management founder and Chief Marketing Officer Terry Wheatley. "As a wine company with female ownership and partners, we believe it is important to give back to other women."
Suggested retail price per bottle is $12.00.

Ukraine's embattled president has offered to make a top opposition leader the prime minister, but it is unclear whether the overture will mollify the radical faction of protesters who have clashed with police for much of the last week.
A statement on President Viktor Yanukovych's website said he had offered the country's second-highest job to Arseniy Yatsenyuk, an ex-foreign minister who had led efforts to integrate Ukraine with the European Union.
The offer, which also includes a deputy-premier post for Vitali Klitschko, another top opposition leader, appeared to be a substantial concession by Mr Yanukovych to protester anger, which began in November when he ditched a long-awaited trade pact with the EU in favour of closer ties with Russia.
Protests grew after police violently dispersed two rallies, then anger boiled over into violence a week ago over harsh new anti-protest laws that Mr Yanukovych pushed through parliament.
Protesters have seized government buildings in scores of other cities in the European-leaning western part of the country.
The opposition has demanded that Mr Yanukovych himself step down and call early elections, and there was no immediate comment from Mr Yatsenyuk on whether he would accept Mr Yanukovych's offer.
It came hours after the head of the country's police, widely despised by the opposition, claimed protesters had seized and tortured two policemen before releasing them. The opposition denied any such seizure and claimed Interior Minister Vitaly Zakharchenko was making a bogus claim in order to justify a police sweep against protesters.
Three protesters have died in the past week's clashes, two of them from gunshot wounds and a third of unspecified injuries. The interior ministry said a policeman was found shot in the head overnight. No arrests have been made or suspects named.
Protesters have rained stones and firebombs on police while officers retaliate with stun grenades and tear gas. On Saturday evening, flames leapt high from barricade of burning tires, but there was no obvious violence in Kiev's central Independence Square, known as the Maidan. Demonstrators milled about, many of them bearing clubs, metal rods and large sticks.
Mr Yanukovych also agreed to discuss ways of changing Ukraine's constitution toward a parliamentary-presidential republic, which was one of the demands of the opposition.
If that change went through, the prime minister would have more powers and would be elected by parliament, not appointed by the president. Mr Yanukovych's backers currently have a majority in the parliament and the next election for the legislature is to be in 2017.
Earlier, Mr Zakharchenko said the two police officers were released with the help of negotiations by foreign embassies. He said they had been hospitalised, but did not give details of how they allegedly were abused.
He earlier said the officers were seized by volunteer security guards at the protest gatherings in Kiev and held in the city hall, which protesters have occupied since December and turned into a makeshift dormitory and operations centre.
But the commandant of the corps, Mykhailo Blavatsky, told The Associated Press that no police had been seized.
"The authorities are looking for a pretext to break up the Maidan and creating all kinds of provocations," he said. "Capturing a policeman would only give the authorities reason to go on the attack and we don't need that."
Mr Zakharchenko earlier said a third captured officer had been released and was in serious condition in a hospital.
"We will consider those who remain on the Maidan and in captured buildings to be extremist groups. In the event that danger arises, and radicals go into action, we will be obliged to use force," Mr Zakharchenko said.
In Lviv, where support for Mr Yanukovych is minuscule, regional lawmakers on Saturday voted to establish a parallel government.
Although the move was largely symbolic, it demonstrated the strong animosity toward the government in Ukraine's west. Ukrainian politics largely is divided between the Russian-speaking east, which is the industrial heartland, and the Ukrainian-speaking west.
On Saturday, about 100 protesters briefly occupied the headquarters of the energy ministry in downtown Kiev. Minister Eduard Stavitskiy said the country's nuclear energy facilities were placed on high alert.
Andriy Hrytsenko, a well-known opposition figure and former defence minister, was quoted on Saturday by the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda as calling for protesters who have legal arms to carry them in self-defence.
"Firearms should be used only in response to threats to human life. I'll be the first to do this," he was quoted as saying.

Move beyond smart indexation
Strategic beta sits at the intersection of passive and active, combining active management insight with the discipline of rules-based investing in order to improve the risk exposures of market cap weighted indices. The aim is to maximize diversification to uncompensated risks (regions and sectors) and seek exposure to compensated risk premia (i.e. factors).
Our strategic beta strategies provide long only exposure to compensated equity and fixed income factors, offering solutions for investors looking for either a core or a more tactical portfolio allocation.
Our Strategic Beta strategies
Strategic Beta Equities: Multi-Factor
Provides core exposure to equity markets and seeks to improve risk-adjusted returns relative to traditional indices by diversifying risk across regions and sectors and screening securities through a multi-factor process.
Strategic Beta Equities: Single Factor
Provides clients with targeted, single factor exposure within equities while avoiding undue concentration in individual securities.
Strategic Beta Fixed Income
Improves upon traditional passive fixed income by systematically applying liquidity and risk filters, and re-weighting the portfolio where applicable.

Of the stories allowed to the viewing public (not including any requests) or with what little yiff he writes, and his obvious flare for the deranged, it's tends to surprise readers that the only stories he can not write as 'gory' or 'twisted' are yiff stories (for those few, this means no vore, mutilation, snuff, etc.)

Dingo Network AutoDHCP function impacts network management
Subject description: Dhcpcd version 3.x changes the assignment of IP addresses, impacting LAN management; solution here.
NOTICE: Please download the localized version later in this thread, for use with Puppy 4 alpha 5. But the version in this post is still good, too.
Dingo 4a4 contains dhcpcd 3.1.8, which defaults to using a new (IPv6-specification) client ID format that some router firmware does not support. Those routers expect the client ID to be the MAC address of a PC's network interface adapter and permit control of connectees by those addresses. An option that allows Puppy to use either the old or new defaults would remedy that problem, while letting Puppy keep up with new versions of dhcpcd.
The new default format appears to be intended to simplify network maintenance by identifying a workstation (PC) by software installation, wherein all interfaces (wired, wireless, USB) have the same client ID, so the administartor sets up filters (or whatever they use) for the PC and not separately for each network interface. The assumption, probably, is that a PC will contain only one software system, so a client ID represents an OS and the computer containing it.
But in the Puppy Linux world it is common for several instances of Puppy to reside in the same machine; each pup-save file or partition constitutes a separate system, each with its own client ID and IP address (under Puppy 4.x). Instead of identifying itself, by interface, as 1-to-3 entities (client IDs), a PC hosting, say, ten Puppys would have ten client IDs for one PC, complicating LAN management rather than simplifying it! Each live-CD boot creates a new client ID (and IP address); saving to a pup_save file/partition creates a second ID upon first reboot with the pup_save. This profusion and discarding of so many client IDs/IP addresses could be eliminated if the network wizard would manage the client IDs so that all Puppys within a partition would use the same ID.
The new client ID format makes possible some benefits mainly for large network installations. Identifying a PC as a single entity is one; another is that changing out NIC hardware does not impact the client ID (where previously the changeout would also change the client ID (MAC address), necessitating an administrative chore. Since there may be Puppy users interested in these capabilities, and since other OSes cohabiting with Puppy might adopt the new format, it is reasonable to adapt Puppy to accommodate it with minimal disruption to LAN management.
I have worked up a solution to these issues and offer it for evalutaion and consideration for integration into Puppy. With it, the main network-wizard window contains a checkbox that enables use of the new format; unchecked, the old MAC-address format is retained. When checked, the basis for a single client ID ("duid") is retained at the root of a partition and is used for all DHCP requests for all Puppys in that partition, on all interfaces. This assumes that only one Puppy at a time is ever active in that partition.
Attached are the changed scripts (/usr/sbin/net-setup.sh & /etc/rc.d/rc.network) and highlighted (4alpha 394) listings of them showing the modifications. They are NOT compatible with pre-3.0 versions of dhcpcd, found in most pre-4.0 Puppys; I have tested with the dhcpcd 3.1.8 in Puppy 4 alpha4 (394).
EDIT: Refined version uploaded on 1/4/08.
EDIT: Armor-plated version uploaded on 1/5/08 (10 p.m. EST). Backward compatible with old dhcpcd 1.3.22.
EDIT: Uploaded updated rc.network on 1/9/08 (10:45 p.m. EST); net-setup.sh unchanged.
EDIT 1/11/08: Now that localization improvement has been merged with this fix, Please download the archive from the post near the end of this thread, for use with Puppy 4 alpha5.
Scripts & listings of network wizard and bootup scripts, to accommodate both IPv6 and IPv4 client ID formats.

In the 'config.h' file in the dhcpcd source, it has this:
/* We will auto create a DUID_LLT file if it doesn't exist.
* You can always create your own DUID file that just contains the
* hex string that represents the DUID.
* See RFC 3315 for details on this. */
#define ENABLE_DUID
I left that line in, but how would it affect things if the line was commented out? Would that improve the situation? How would commenting it out affect your mods?

Thanks for getting back to me so soon. I assume that commenting out the #define statement would omit the duid/IPv6-compatibility logic entirely, with the same effect as adding the "-I ''" parameter for the current version of dhcpcd. But the omiision would prevent anyone from interfacing correctly with the modern DHCP servers. Although I have been encouraging you (and Dougal) to remain with the old, MAC-address client ID, I recognize that we should eventually step up to the "state of the art" if we are going to use the latest versions of dhcpcd. (I base my position on tempestuous' findings at
, and the link he provides.)
I favor making Puppy as compatible with the world as we can, which means making it IPv6-compatible. Instead of attempting to hold back progress, I found a way to "modernize" Puppy without impacting the older networking equipment that frugal Puppians probably use.
To answer your question directly -- the impact of removing the new compatibility in dhcpcd -- my mods would be completely unnecessary. If my mods were put in for future activation of compatibilty, we would need to make sure that dhcpcd could still handle the "-I ''" parameter correctly (as dhcpcd 1.3.22 does NOT). We would also need to address the new checkbox, which would become ineffective. Should it be removed? Or be made to reject being checked? Maybe it would (or could be made to) function the same no matter what the checkbox contains.
So, now that I have "bought into" the new compatibility, I think the better route is to make Puppy future-compliant.
(BTW, I have uploaded a refined version of the mods.)

Thanks for accepting this fix. Before you work on it, please check my initial post for an updated version. I just uploaded a more robust package that also works with the old version of dhcpcd; it does not support the duid for the older version (of course), just ignores and clears the checkbox setting. However, although it can handle the presence of both the /etc/dhcpc and /var/lib/dhcpcd directories, the upgrade process should probably remove /etc/dhcpc so that the wizard produces the expected result when the box is not checked.
EDIT: To clarify the extent of backward compatability, the fix works with dhcpcd versions 3.1.8 and 1.3.22, which are in Puppy 4.x and 3.x, respectively. The wizard itself does not start at all in Puppy 2.x and 3.01-Retro -- it must be a kernel thing.
Now, if you change the checkbox value after setting up the interfaces, nothing changes until either a reconfigure of the interfaces or a reboot -- the reboot sets all interfaces the same way (DUID or MAC), per the setting in the checkbox.
BTW, I would like to test the case where the eth0mode file s set to "auto"; but I do not see where that is done. Is that obsolete or is it set externally to the wizard? I could create it manually, but I would like to know how it is actually used.
EDIT: for those who know what it means, the fix allows Puppy to identify itself to the network with an IPv6-compliant client ID.

Rerwin, there's something I was wondering about in relation to IPv6:
rc.sysinit has a part where some number is echoed into a file in /proc/sys/net/ip4 or something.
Will something have to be added for IPv6, too?

Post subject: rc.sysinit IPv4 question
The comment before the second rc.sysinit instance of writing "1" into the file in directory ipv4 implies that it relates to dialup, but there is nothing about why it is done. I have no insight into it. I do see in Puppy4 that there is no counterpart directory ipv6. That area goes beyond where I was working. So far, I have not tried puppy4 with a modem; a4 does not recognize my Intel 835ep chip. But I have other modems to try.
In reality, I do not know whether the promised capability to associate multiple intefaces with the same PC actually works. That is the dhcpcd developer's responsibility. I just added the option to use either type of client ID and to propagate the duid across multiple instances of Puppy.

MU, yes, the latest version of the network wizard is that posted by rerwin. This was prior to your localisation-finished announcement ...would it be possible to synchronise these two? Actually, rerwin has very clearly indicated in net_setup.sh where he has made the changes.

Post subject: Updated rc.network (only)
Barry, Mark,
I have just now uploaded the archive with an updated version of rc.network. I have not changed net-setup.sh, as I know MU may be integrating it with his localization code.
I became concerned about the possibility of ending up with the same DUID in multiple PCs, due to using Puppy on portable media. We should not propagate a common DUID beyond a partition, into other PCs. But a portable Puppy could have its unique DUID, as long as it is different from any on a PC.
I coded for that (and tested on a hard drive), but have not tried the fix with installs to flash drives or multisession CDs. I understand that alpha4 has problems with some of those options, so I will wait for alpha5, to do the "fine tuning". The default, older (MAC address) client ID can be used in those cases, until we work out a process for the new IDs.
A write-up will probably be appropriate, to set guidelines for client IDs and portable media. (I can do that.)
BTW, in the listing for net-setup.sh I highlighted lines 961 & 962 in red. They can be deleted, as their function is now done in rc.network. Feel free to remove them while integrating the scripts into Puppy. The lines to remove are:
(961) [ ! -d /var/lib/dhcpcd ] && mkdir /var/lib/dhcpcd
(962) [ -s /root/.dhcpcd.duid ] && cp /root/.dhcpcd.duid /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.duid

In my update line 60 the german and english variables were mixed:
The german was in the english mo and vice versa.
I updated the archive.
But my archive still contains the old version.
PLEASE use this bugfixed version as a base for further changes.
It is easier for people who write patches to integrate them in the localized script, than the other way round.
If you need translations, I can provide them of course.
I just have seen the last messages now, so it is very likely I will oversee further addons. I just saw them because I wanted to announce my "bugfix".
So I prefer not to be involved in the development of this script.
The way I added the localization also allows you to ignore translations.
Put strings in a new variable, and add it in the english .mo.
Then that english text will be used also in the german one, until someone adds the translation to the german .mo.
The english file is loaded first, then the one from the country-settings, which then will replace variables that are translated.
Non-translated variables will be displayed in english.
Like this you can code without having to care for the translations themselves.

Post subject: Merged net-setup.sh for alpha5
Subject description: Lacks 2.95 fix & needs localization addition
Here is the merged set-setup I promised. My code includes a label in line 244 that probably needs translation:
Identify all interfaces to the network as representing the same computer.
Candidate for alpha5 if fix 3.95 gets added and a localization instance gets added.
Contains net-setup.sh and corresponding rc.network scripts.

Post subject: Merged version tests successfully!
I have tested your uploaded archive and all runs as it did with my fix alone. I do not know how to test localization.
I am concerned that the translation of my new label is 6 characters longer than the original, and that it will exceed the space for the label. Can you test this by starting the network wizard and checking the appearance of the checkbox text. Maybe we need space for a second line. Easy to fix, I think.

I like this news story from Salt Lake City, partly because it features a good-humored "progressive"–a rare breed!
A downtown protest of the climate change talks in Copenhagen became a victim of Wednesday's snowstorm.
"Not many people showed up because of the blizzard conditions," said organizer Clea Major, an international studies student at the University of Utah.
It didn't take long for the six friends to pack up a bullhorn and posters they'd planned to use for their "scream-in," an outlet for their frustration about the failure of the Copenhagen climate talks earlier this month to curb the pollution blamed for climate change. …
[Major] called Wednesday evening's effort a success and possibly the first in a series. As for the snow, it's not entirely new; a protest she attended last year in Washington, D.C., suffered a similar fate.
"There is always the irony element," Major said.
That particular irony has been much in evidence lately. Here in Minnesota, no one will be holding outdoor demonstrations of any kind for a while. It's slated to get down to 12 below tomorrow night and 13 below on Saturday.
