West Nipissing Policing Change Delayed
Posted December 14, 2018
The decision to change from West Nipissing Police to OPP is being delayed until June, 2019. See North Bay Nugget December 14, 2018 - Policing Transition Delayed
Policing Change Slated For February
Posted November 15, 2018
A court challenge by the West Nipissing Police Board was rejected, and the switchover to policing by OPP is slated for February, 2019. The impact on the Upper French region will be significant and will simplify things greatly. There will be one police force that will serve both north and south sides of the river - regardless of whether you are in West Nipissing Municipality (Nipissing District) or in the unorganized townships of Patterson and Hardy in East Parry Sound District. One police service will deal with both water and land issues – and they will have a boat.

Update on OPP in West Nipissing
Posted September 11, 2018
The provision of contract policing in West Nipissing by the OPP moved another step closer recently. The Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC – the provincial body that reviews and approves these types of decisions) has approved the town's application to disband the West Nipissing Police Service and enter into a contact for service with the OPP.
The WN Police Services Board is continuing to fight against this move. Earlier this year, the Board applied to Ontario Superior Court for a judicial review of the decision and in the meantime had actively lobbied the OCPC to delay its decision until the Court had ruled.
In issuing its own decision, the OCPC categorically rejected the Police Service Board's actions and noted a Court decision from a few years ago in Kenora where similar issues were in play, and which included the statement: "it is legally inconsistent for a police services board to have jurisdiction to decide to disband when it plays no role in selecting the manner of service delivery." That statement is consistent with the Municipality's own position, which is that it has sole decision-making power (subject to review and approval by the OCPC) on what form policing services should take.
Superior Court is scheduled to hear the application from the Police Board on October 10 and the UFRCA will keep you posted on the Court's decision.

Outdoor Marijuana Grow Information
Posted June 25, 2012
The following was received from Const. Marvin Miller following our meeting several weeks ago.
The OPP Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) is alerting the public to the dangers associated with outdoor marijuana grow operations.
During the late spring and summer months each year, people involved with growing illegal marijuana head into rural areas to start and care for, in some cases, very large plots of marihuana plants. Typically, these illicit crops are located in swamps, corn fields, and wooded areas, along rivers and on rural, rental properties with large acreage.
Marijuana plants are bright green in colour and grow to between three and five feet in height. Marijuana leaves have seven jagged fingers and the plants give off a strong pungent musty odour.
Common indicators of outdoor marihuana grows include:
Ø Abandoned vehicles parked on side roads or trails.
Ø People observed walking in remote areas for no apparent reason.
Ø Bags of fertilizer, planting trays or chemicals located in remote areas.
Ø Well-trampled trails in wooded or swamp areas.
Ø Cleared out areas in swamps, wooded areas or corn fields.
Ø Numerous "No Trespassing" signs appear out of nowhere.
Typically, marijuana crops will be harvested starting as early as late August up until the beginning of October.
There are numerous safety risks of which the public should be wary. These risks include the potential presence of criminals, weapons and ammunition found on grow-op sites, and the potential for booby traps, rigged by the criminals growing these plants in an attempt to defend their illegal crops from other criminals known as 'pot pirates'. All of these factors could lead to dangerous confrontations for unsuspecting, innocent people – including children – who just happen to be in the area of these illegal crops.
Another risk that the OPP wants to highlight is environmental. These criminal operations usually involve the unregulated use of many chemicals and other environmentally-damaging products.
If you discover or suspect an outdoor marihuana grow operation:
Ø As soon as possible, call your local police or Crime Stoppers.
Ø Do not touch the marijuana plants due to potential chemical residue on the plants.
Ø If confronted by a marijuana grower, leave the area immediately and contact police.
Ø If possible and safe to do so, record any license plate or GPS information and notify police.
In some cases, outdoor marijuana grows are guarded or protected by booby- traps. If you discovered a crop of marijuana plants, do not enter the area! For your personal safety, turn around and immediately leave the area the same way you came in.
If you have any information regarding illegal marihuana grow ops, contact your local police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
OPP advice: check your gear!
The OPP solicit our assistance in notifying them of anything suspicious such as illegal grow-ops or any unusual activity when out in the bush or on back roads. Crime Stopper signs are being readied for posting in a variety of areas that access Lake Nipissing and the French River and this may yield some tips on the spring French River break-ins.
Posted June 20,2012
OPP marine patrols again this year have zero tolerance for boaters caught without proper safety equipment on board, so know the requirements for the size and type of boat you are using and make sure you have everything. And that of course includes one PFD for each person on board; PFDs have to be within easy reach, if not being worn, and can't be hidden away below deck or in a storage compartment. And – no surprise - any open alcohol on board is also forbidden, even if it's being consumed by a passenger and not the driver. The rules of the road for driving apply to boats on the water.
These were a few of the topics discussed when the UFRCA met with OPP (Marine Unit) Const. Marvin Miller and Staff Sgt. Tim Sheppard in North Bay recently. Fortunately, in the eyes of the police, the message is getting out and there seem to be fewer infractions over the last several years. UFRCA cottagers will be pleased to learn that Lake Nipissing and the French River get "double coverage" as it is patrolled by both the OPP Marine Unit and the SAVE unit. But keep in mind that they patrol hundreds of lakes in NE Ontario.
Following the break-ins discovered on the river this spring, cottagers expressed concern that winter patrols and tagging of cottages during the winter had ceased several years ago. Const. Miller hopes to revive the practice next winter, and cited safety concerns on the river where ice conditions can quickly change from 'good' to 'dangerous' within several hours. He will be able to use the services of a local guide who knows the area very well.
Policing of noisy cigarette boats will continue in the effort to weed out those still not in compliance with the regulations that were stiffened over the last few years. It is illegal to have a device on board that switches from "muffler on" to "muffler off", and the fine is now a pricey $650. The North Bay cigarette boat poker run is slated for July 21, but they are restricted to Lake Nipissing and do not have permission to enter French River Provincial Park. If you observe a boat making excessive noise at any time, take a few seconds to report it to the OPP.
To report incidents such as break-ins or other land issues to the police, know which township your cottage is in. If your cottage is in Bertram Township, make reports to the West Nipissing Police in Sturgeon Falls. If your cottage is on the south side (Hardy or Patterson Townships), contact the OPP in Powassan, for it is that detachment that covers that area. For on-water complaints or issues, contact the OPP Regional Office in North Bay.
West Nipissing Police reported on June 15 that a major drug ring had been shut down and many arrests made. Perhaps one or some of those arrested were involved in the winter break-ins on the French River – we'll probably never know. The OPP also report there was an arrest in the area last year and the person was charged with over 100 incidents over a wide area. This resulted from extra police vigilance in patrolling rural areas.

Police Jurisdictions
On-Land Policing
West Nipissing Police deal with on-land policing issues (such as break-ins) on the north side of the river in Bertram Township. Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) deal with on-land issues on the south side of the river in Hardy and Patterson Townships - Parry Sound District. Note: contact the OPP detachment in Powassan if your cottage is in Hardy or Patterson Township.
On-Water Policing
OPP deal with on-water issues in all locations on Lake Nipissing and the French River, not to mention all other lakes in the province. West Nipissing Police and the Anishnabeck Police Force also have marine units, as do Conservation Officers from the Ministry of Natural Resources and French River Provincial Park. All can and do monitor and enforce boating regulations.
Police debate re-ignites

Posted February 22, 2012
STURGEON FALLS – There was a tense moment last week when West Nipissing council was looking over its first draft of the 2012 budget. Police chief Chuck Seguin presented the West Nipissing Police budget and was ready for questions, but no one asked any.
But later in the meeting, there was talk of cutting $100,000 from the West Nipissing Police Services Board budget to bring the 2012 taxes down. Mayor Joanne Savage, chair of the West Nipissing Police Services Board, asked council if they wanted to send the police budget back to the board.
Coun. Denise Brisson was the only member who supported the mayor's suggestion. "I would like to be on council's agenda of our next meeting to discuss whether or not council is ready to ask the Ontario Provincial Police for a costing to see if we can save some money for our taxpayers," she said. The other councillors were silent.
"I am not against the present police department," Coun. Brisson said in an interview with the News. "I think it would be financially responsible for us to get a costing from the Ontario Provincial Police after 12 years of service of this present police department."
"I want the best bang for our money and if West Nipissing can do that, I will gladly endorse them – but we need to know. I would never buy a car or house without getting an estimate; we owe this to our taxpayers, which is why they voted for us. We can't let them down. There is nothing personal in my request."
At Brisson's request, the topic will be on council's March agenda.
There is a history of competition between the former Sturgeon Falls Police and the Ontario Provincial Police, with both policing organizations trying to land the contract for the new community of West Nipissing Ouest following amalgamation in 1999.
In a 2011 interview, former Mayor Gary O'Connor admitted "It was painful, especially when it was about the Police [and fire]. The delivery of police services was the toughest place I have ever been in. There were a lot of one-on-one lobbying campaigns and public meetings by both forces. The Ontario Provincial Police and the Sturgeon Falls Police Department were vying for the same turf – for all of West Nipissing's policing.
"Who would get the policing contract came to a vote in Sturgeon Falls, however our council was already split on the issue; it was a tie vote. Back then, I felt it wise to be with the devil I knew rather than the unknown and I broke that tie by voting for the town police. To this day, I have no problems with my decision and I slept well the night I cast that ballot."
West Nipissing Police Services Association president Trystan Gagne told the News some weeks ago that they have made "major concessions in negotiations" regarding severance package pay-outs in the event that the West Nipissing Police Service is taken over by the Ontario Provincial Police. This could essentially mean a savings of more than $1.5 million dollars to West Nipissing taxpayers, he said.
The Police Services Board presented a $3.2 million budget for the coming year.

Seguin West Nipissing's New Top Cop
POLICING: Municipality conducted national search
Posted By GORD YOUNG THE NUGGET
A shadow of uncertainly cast over this community's police service faded Tuesday as a permanent police chief was named to lead its officers into a new era.
Mayor Joanne Savage, chairwoman of the West Nipissing Police Services Board, introduced Chuck Seguin as the community's new top cop during a news conference in Sturgeon Falls.
"The board is confident that he will provide the leadership to guide the West Nipissing Police Service and West Nipissing Police Services Board in moving forward," said Savage, noting an extensive search for a new chief began last October. She said the board hired a recruiting firm and posted ads on policing websites and in magazines, including Blue Line, which has a national readership of 40,000.
Although five candidates were considered, the cross-country search ultimately ended in the community's own back yard with Seguin, a sergeant with the North Bay Police Service. "It wasn't an easy task for the board," said Savage, noting members wanted to select the strongest possible candidate for the job.
With 28 years of experience, seven spent with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and 21 with the North Bay service, Seguin takes over April 20 (2009) in West Nipissing from Greater Sudbury Insp. Allan Lekun, who has been acting chief since September.
Lekun replaced former North Bay police chief George Berrigan who stepped down due to personal reasons. Berrigan was brought on to lead the force in July following the retirement of former West Nipissing police chief Richard Lahaie, who is the subject of a complaint under investigation by Sudbury police.
The ongoing investigation, which is expected to wrap up over the next few months, was initiated by the board nearly a year ago. No other information has been released about the nature of the complaint involving Lahaie. "They've had challenges in the past," said Seguin, acknowledging the obstacles the service will need to overcome.
But Seguin said he's anxious to move forward and pointed to the more positive aspects of the department, specifically an appetite for change – something that helped convince him to take on the position. "I'm really looking forward to working with the men and women of West Nipissing," he said, reluctant to discuss his vision for the police service without first sharing it with officers and board members.
Police association president Al Renaud said the service's 21 officers are pleased with the appointment of Seguin. He said the new chief will help boost morale and mean stability for the service and the community.

How to Keep Teeth White
What better way to boost your self-confidence than having shiny white teeth. It is not uncommon that over time, our teeth become discolored. Your dental hygiene and your diet are the ones that mainly affect the color of your teeth, but there could also be other reasons. You should also consider the fact that certain food will stain your teeth, even if you brush regularly. Also, if you smoke, you cannot expect your teeth to be white. Luckily, discolored teeth can be remedied by simple methods.
Your first option is to visit a dentist. If you want to have your teeth cleaned and whitened, the dentist is your best go-to person. A cosmetic dentist is the most qualified person to for this. Teeth whitening and stain removal are two of the amazing things that a cosmetic dentist can do for you. The best cosmetic dentist can remove easily even years' worth of stains. Therefore, for a faster and easier way to whiten teeth go to a cosmetic dentist.
Your other option is to prevent tooth discoloration or staining. There are a few things that you can avoid to keep your teeth white for as long as you can. You will want to do the same after having your teeth whitened at a dental clinic by a cosmetic dentist. This option simply means that you avoid beverage and food that affect your teeth. For example, drinking way too much coffee can turn teeth yellow. Also, you might want to cut back on food that have acid contain because it can deplete the enamel in the teeth, which in turn can make teeth yellow.
Third is that you can try at-home whitening products. These are products that you can give a try if seeing a cosmetic dentist is a little hard on the budget at the moment. You can most likely lengthen the time between teeth whitening appointments if you follow instructions written on teeth whitening products that can be bought at a local drug store. And because there are plenty of products in the market that promise whiter and brighter teeth, you need to check labels to make sure that you are buying only the brand and the type that is recommended by dentists. And to achieve the best results, read and follow instructions carefully.
Your lifestyle should probably change, as well, if you are a smoker. Smoking not only changes the color of your teeth but it also affects healthy gums. There are plenty of other ways, and another example is drinking lots of water as its flushes food particles and avoids buildup of bacteria in the mouth. Regardless of what measure you take to keep your smile white and bright, you still need to seek advice from cosmetic dentist. If you need more information on how to have whiter teeth, you can visit this page.

When you talk about the Internet, you can not forget the power the Internet has had in creating revenue for various companies. Internet revenue is often controlled by search engine results, so it is important to figure out how the search engines work. A lot of people who own a business choose to hire a social media expert to help increase revenue. If you are thinking about hiring someone to manage your business' social media presence, there are some things you need to look for.
1. The first thing you want to look for is to see if the person has real business experience. When you are hiring someone to manage the social media aspect of your business, you want to hire someone who knows business. A lot of people will call themselves an expert in social media because they use various social networking websites and have many friends. Although people who actively use social networking are good, they are not actually an expert in the field. Increasing the revenue of your business by using social media requires more than just hiring someone with Twitter experience. You need to hire someone who is knowledgeable in the field of business to be successful. You need a balance between someone business savvy and someone who is great with social networking and media.
2. Feeling comfortable with the person is also an important quality and should be a priority. When you are looking for someone to manage social media for your business, you will probably be seeing them a lot. You do not want to hire someone for this position that you do not like or you do not feel comfortable around. Designing and maintaining a social media outlet for your business is usually a long process and permanent. You want to make sure that the person you hire is someone you will feel comfortable being around for a while. You want the person to know how you feel and think about various aspects of the social media, so you will need to communicate with them often.
3. When you are going to hire someone, it is also important that look for someone not pushing a long-term opportunity. A lot of people who have a job as a social media expert will try to get a long-term contract written before being hired. Never hire a social media expert if they are trying to push for a long-term agreement or other type of arrangement. Since social media experts usually get paid by performance of the business website, there is no need to have a long-term agreement or other financial arrangement. You should also avoid someone who is trying to get discounts from the business or bonuses, just in case it does not work out. You always want to make sure you leave yourself an option to get out of the relationship if you find the person is being too pushy or just not skilled enough.
4. A social media expert also needs to have solid credentials in the field of social media and networking. You do not want to hire someone who might have a Twitter account but does not use it often. Since Twitter and Facebook are the top social media outlets, you want to check into the person you are going to hire. Make sure that the person you want to hire for your business is knowledgeable in these two areas. It is important that you hire someone who actively uses social media because they are going to know the advanced information about how the websites work. Ask the potential employee for their username on a couple of social media websites so you can check out just how skilled they are. You can also use this time to check out people they are connected with on the website, to see if they have worked for other people on there. If they have other people they worked for, call that business and ask what they did for them and how it went.
5. You also want to ask the person specific questions relating to social media and how it can help a business. Some questions about social media and the use for a business are very important to determine the skill of the person. When it comes to your business, you want to make sure you hire someone who will help you advance your presence on the Internet. You can ask them questions about how social media impacts search engine optimization to see how qualified they are. The answer you really want involves them telling you about how it will build a relationship which can turn into profitable business. If someone says that search engine optimization is not important for a business or for your business, then they are not an expert at all. You should also ask the person about their audience and how they go about building their audience. Since you have a business, you want to make sure your information is getting out there through a very wide audience. The person should not just talk about how many people they are friends with or how many people follow them through Twitter. The real answer should consist of someone talking about having people who have similar interests as them and using their interests to join a conversation. It might also be a good idea to look for someone who talks about having a campaign to build from since you are a business Make sure that the person knows how to get to a wide audience and use tools at their disposal to make people interested in their products. Social media experts are similar to a salesman, as far as networking and finding people with relevant needs and ideas.
Using these five tips will help you find the right social media expert for your business, and increase your search engine relevance on the Internet. A social media expert should be great at balancing social media and business to create a lot of Internet revenue. If you are trying to find someone to help you increase your business on the Internet, then a social media expert should be able to help you out. As we grow into more advanced technology, you will see more people choosing a social media expert to evolve their business to the next level.

US shoots down medium-range ballistic missile in test
Honolulu — The U.S. military has shot down a medium range ballistic missile during a test off Hawaii.
The Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai Island launched the target missile late Tuesday. Sailors aboard the destroyer USS John Paul Jones tracked the target with radar and then fired an interceptor missile to shoot it down.
The test comes amid ongoing North Korean ballistic missile tests. Earlier Tuesday, North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan. It fell into the Pacific Ocean.
Missile Defense Agency Director Lt. Gen. Sam Greaves says the Hawaii test gives Navy ships enhanced capability to defeat ballistic missiles in their last stage of flight.
He says the agency will continue to develop ballistic missile technologies to stay ahead of the threat as it evolves.

STEAM in Second Grade
Second graders have been STEAMing it up in Mrs. Kensinger's classroom. After reading several interpretations of The Three Little Pigs, students were challenged to engineer a prototype for a structure that could withstand the huffing and puffing of the Big Bad Wolfe! Students followed the design process of Asking, Imagining, Creating, Testing and Improving their designs as they prepared to test each prototype against the power of a hair dryer. Construction materials included straws, connectors and Playdough. Children concluded that a sturdy cubical or triangular type of structure with a strong foundation seemed to withstand the wind the best!

Feds Spend almost $400,000 to Study Transgender Ugandans
The federal government is spending $393,790 to study Ugandan men who identify as women… in a study designated for men. The Free Beacon reports:
A new grant worth $163,996 was awarded just six days into the Trump administration, continuing a project that was initially awarded in April 2016.
Leading researchers on the project say it is "problematic" that there is an "almost complete lack of research examining the HIV risk of sexual minority women and transgender people" in the African country.
"HIV/AIDS is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in Uganda, with an estimated 7.3 [percent] adults HIV Positive," according to the grant for the study. "[M]en who have sex with men (MSM) bear a particularly high disease burden, with 13.2 [percent] living with HIV. Despite this increased risk, there is a considerable dearth of scientific literature documenting the barriers and facilitators to behavior change in this vulnerable Population. We need to better understand the HIV risk and protective behaviors of MSM and other sexual minority men in Uganda, if we are to develop effective Prevention programming."
A nonprofit group based in California (shock!) is conducting the study. The Center for Innovative Public Health Research's other recent ground-breaking discoveries include:
…gay people are more likely to be victims of "revenge porn."
Of course, what's $400,000 here and there when you're spending the American tax dollar? But here's the real kicker from the researchers, who are desperately trying to justify their extravagant expense:
The researchers argue that the few studies of transgender individuals in Africa have incorrectly classified biological men who think they are women as men in scientific research.
Oh that's right. The ol' "hey, if he was born with a penis, he's a man" scientific mistake. Of course, the researchers aren't offending transgender Ugandans with this study. They're offending the hard-working Americans who aren't even sure what "revenge porn" is, and really would prefer the federal government focused on things like… well, almost anything other than this.
Remember when conservatives were the ones supposedly against science?

Computer software plays an increasingly important role in all aspects of human endeavour ranging from transportation and communication, finance, education, law, health and so many others. Software engineering is a discipline that involves the application of scientific and engineering principles towards the development, operation and maintenance of large scale computer software. Software engineering encompasses knowledge from multiple fields such as management, mathematics, project management and quality management.
To increase the market potential of our graduates our curriculum structure was designed based on IEEE Curriculum guidelines for software engineering. The programme curriculum will emphasize towards the fundamentals in software engineering, methodology, tools for software development as well as methods in accessing the quality of the software that is developed. Students will receive fundamental training in programming, network technology, mathematics for IT and information database. In addition to the fundamental subjects, students are exposed to various techniques of analyzing and formalizing user requirements, software design, implementation and techniques in accessing the quality of software. Students will also be given the opportunity to apply theories by involving themselves in various software development projects in a team environment based on the guidelines set by the software engineering institute. The curriculum will also include courses in artificial intelligence where students can learn the fundamentals in artificial intelligence and its application areas in various fields.
Upon successful completion of the course students will be capable of developing software of high quality, developed on time and easy to maintain and reuse. Students will be prepared with both the necessary soft skill and technical skill in order to fulfill the demands of the industry. It is our hope that we can produce leaders, critical thinkers and technopreneur in order to fuel the knowledge economy in today's competitive environment.

Case mod for huge GPU: To make this MSI Gaming X GTX 1080 fit, I had to cut out a piece of the case and also the top cover-- Without that mod, the GPU cables were near impossible to connect, and also, the top lid would not close completely because the cables were protruding out too much. I used a dremel to shave off some of the plastic.
The H7 fits!: Thermaltake states the maximum cooler height allowance is 140mm. The Cryorig cooler is 145mm but still fits with no clearance issues-- Anything over ~148mm will touch/push against the case window.
The RAM works!: ASRock does not list this RAM in their compatibility list, but after a phone call to G.Skill, they have confirmed that it should work after loading the XMP profile. I have it overclocked @ 3200mhz and it seems to be running just fine.
Delidding the 8600K: I have delidded this CPU with a $15 tool from ebay and a vice clamp. You can use the Kaby Lake delid tool for this CPU as they have the same heat spreader design. I did not do any temp tests before delidding so I have no baseline, but I can tell you that my 7700K was never this cool. This 8600K idles at 25C. A quick Cinebench test brings a max of 55C @ 4.8GHz @ 1.25V.
Overclocking on the Asrock Z370M-ITX/AC: The Asrock Z370M-ITX/AC uses a different UEFI/BIOS than the other Asrock ITX mobos-- This one has no option for overclocking "All Core", and so you must use the "Per Core" option or use the Asrock Tuning software to overclock. I was able to push this CPU to around 5ghz with temps that never pass 60c.
Fans on this Mobo in this Case There are only fan connectors on this mobo, but there room for 3 fans in this case (one intake and two exhuasts), which means, if I use a splitter for the two exhaust fans, they will not get PMW. They must be set at "Standard Mode" in bios in order to spin. But again, they will not have PWM abilities.
Part Reviews
When compared to the 7700K, this CPU is pretty amazing-- mostly in thermals, and has huge overclocking headroom! Also, this CPU scored slightly faster in Cinebench when compared to the 7700K. And it's cheaper.
CPU Cooler
They say its the best value cooler to buy.. Pretty big though. Easy to install.
Thermal Compound
I was told this is some of the best, and cheapest, thermal paste to get.
Thermal Compound
Essential for delidding CPU's.
ASRock's low-tier ITX mobo-- Doesnt have HDMI 1.4, and if you dont have a GPU, the max resolution and framerate this mobo will run is 4K @ 30fps. Has WiFi and Bluetooth though, which is nice. UEFI lacks a few features-- One being the ability to overclock on "All Core" mode. Overclocking is possible but dont expect to hit the highest potential of your CPU. Not a very visually pleasing mobo either. Does the job though.
1.25V @ 2133mhz but it is advertised as 1.35V @ 3000mhz. (because those are its overclock specs)
I guess it's faster than 850 EVO... I havent noticed much difference tbh. Makes sense though as the prices are pretty similar.
Beware that this is a not a 7200RPM HDD but is just fine as a storage drive. Nice price.
Video Card
Huge and heavy and has pretty lights.
Great value ITX case. $5 more for the "snow" white one.
Power Supply
Paid $65. Gold+ rated and fully modular. This is what you want...or a 600w if you want to be extra safe.
Operating System
worst crap ever.
Case Fan
great for the price.
None of the presets do any justice. Even after visiting http://www.tftcentral.co.uk to see the best settings, I found that this monitor has a blurryness to it. "Vivid Pixel" setting looks blurry at 25, but at 50, it looks too grainy. I wish you could set it to 30-35 but that is not possible. If you are in the market for a 1440p144hz monitor, the other option is the Dell SG2716DG which is a TN panel with awful motion blur, but the picture quality is good (even foir a TN panel) and is not blurry like this ASUS. Motion blur versus blurryness-- Your choice.
Possibly the best buy in this whole list. Built like a tank. Cherry MX switches. Replaceable key caps. Seriously heavy and built like a tank.
Good sensor. Great for hardcore FPS gaming because its small and lightweight. I gave it 4 stars because it doesnt come with spare feet, and it NEEDS A THUMB GRIP. I have to use a knife to cut into the plastic to make for a grip.
Best sub $100 headphones. Such good sound-staging. Sounds are very realistic and I often mistake sounds coming from headphones with sounds coming from my environment. Neutral, flat, studio headphones with accurate sound. Highly recommend these.

Common Name: Oak Toad
Scientific Name: Anaxyrus quercicus
Family: Bufonidae – True Toad Family
Locations: United States – Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia
Size: 1.25 inches max
The Oak Toad is the smallest toad in North America, not even reaching 2 inches when it is fully grown. They are also interesting in the fact that they are mostly diurnal, active during the day, while most true toads in North America are nocturnal, active during the night.
Breeding takes place from April to September, depending on the arrival of the heavy, warm rains. The mating call of the males sound like baby chickens. While the Oak Toad is small, the female can lay up to 700 eggs. Tadpoles hatch from their eggs in a day and fully undergo metamorphosis in a month or two.

Accommodations Details
The Ranch is located eight miles upstream of the confluence of the South and the main fork of the Smith River. The South Fork Road winds its way up the river canyon and is a two lane paved road all the way to Rock Creek Ranch .
There is ample parking in the vicinity of the Ranch House for groups of twenty or less. Please do not block the circular access road. For Outdoor Use Area visitors, please use the parking area near the entrance gate and the road into the OUA. No parking is allowed at the Majesty Pool overlook.
Ranch House Sleeping Accommodations
During the summer, many visitors enjoy sleeping outside on the large deck or in various flat places across the 175-acre property. Inside accommodations include: one queen bed (private room); one double bed (private room); one bunk bed with two twin beds; two twin beds (private room); two queen size futons (shared space/den/Dooley room) and one futon (living room).
Off the Grid
There is no utility service at the Ranch. We generate our own electricity through a Sustainable Power Station, which was developed in cooperation with the Humboldt State U. Environmental Engineering Department and the Schatz Energy Research Center. Click here for more information about this exciting project. While we do have electricity, we also strongly discourage certain appliances, which require extensive amounts of energy — such as hair dryers, electric coffee pots, and waffle irons.
The Ranch has two cooking facilities. One is located at the Ranch house and the other is at the Outdoor Use Area under a roof, but open to the air (also known as the Long House).
The Ranch house has a vintage gas stove and refrigeration. Pots and pans are an eclectic mix. There are plates and silverware to serve 20-30 people. If you have favorite kitchen utensils (such as a special knife), you may want to bring them with you.
The Outdoor Use Area has two two-burner propane stoves (but no oven). Please bring your own coolers and ice.
From June through August the Smith's water temperature ranges from 62—70 degrees. Many guests bring snorkel and mask to enable them to see the cutthroat trout that live in the Majesty pool. The Emerald Pool is best for families and children.
Fishing is legendary on the Smith! River running is excellent, especially in the spring; hiking is great year-round; and swimming is best during the summer. Explore your options!
During the summer is is essential to ask the Rock Creek Caretaker if camp fires are permitted during your stay. The Ranch is located in the Smith River NRA – part of the Six Rivers National Forest. The Outdoor Use Area has a fire pit on the terrace below the Long House. Due to extreme (summer) fire risk, we do not allow "Tiki" torches, candles or other open flames of any kind outside.
The Ranch House has a heating system and two wood stoves. Each year we split and stack several cords of wood and kindling. Split wood is located behind the ranch house—visitors should participate in toting the daily supply into the house. If unfamiliar with the operation of the wood stove please ask for training.
Please turn lights off when not in use. We make all of our own power at the ranch.
Drinking Water
The water coming out of the kitchen tap at the Ranch House and the Long House is treated by a water filter (when a lever is activated). Use this as your source of drinking water. If you prefer to drink spring water, one is located four miles up the South Fork Road and is located at the west end of the Steven Bridge.
The Ranch has a supply of towels and bedding. You may bring your own linen and/or sleeping bags if you wish.
We have one phone for emergency use (707 954-0254). There is an Internet connection available for guest use (no streaming) and no reception for cell phones. The closest pay phone/cell reception is in Hiouchi on Highway 199 in front of the convenience store.
The Ranch composts food scraps (non-meat) to create compost for the garden. You'll find a plastic container on the kitchen counter for temporary holding of compost materials. Please empty this at least daily (so we aren't attracting ants) to the composter located behind the house near the small garden shed. Do not add fatty foods like meat, cheese or bread to the compost bins.
Rock Creek Ranch is a non-smoking establishment.
Where is the closest grocery store?
Rock Creek Ranch is located within the Smith River National Recreation Area (NRA) far from modern conveniences; there are a few things you may need to know as you prepare for your visit. RCR is 15 minutes from the Hiouchi Hamlet (convenience store with some groceries), and it is 30 minutes from Crescent City, which has several grocery stores.
What is the road like?
The Ranch is located eight miles upstream of the confluence of the South and the main fork of the Smith River. The South Fork Road winds its way up the river canyon and is now a two lane paved road all the way to RCR.
Are dogs and other pets allowed?
Sorry. Other than animals in service, pets are not allowed on the property.
Can I come take a tour and just look around?
Unfortunately, we do not offer guided public tours. To preserve the sanctity of the visitor experience, self-guided tours and walkabouts are not allowed.
What time can I check in?
Feel free to arrive any time after 3 pm; access to facilities is after 4 pm.
Will my cell phone work at Rock Creek Ranch?
Rock Creek Ranch is located approximately ten miles from "civilization," and there is currently no cell coverage at the property. This isolation and tranquility, while deepening the experience of your stay, can also be a significant change. While there is no cell service, there is an emergency phone in the Ranch House.
Can I bring my trailer?
Sorry. We are unable to accommodate trailers because of their size and we have no hook-ups. We do have parking available for cars and vehicle sized campers – but no dedicated location for trailers.
How do I get to Rock Creek Ranch? How far is it from the nearest airport?
Rock Creek Ranch is approximately thirty minutes from Crescent City Airport (CEC), 2 hours from the Arcata Airport (ACV), and 2 hours and twenty minutes from the Medford Airport (MFR).
Does Rock Creek Ranch have electricity?
There is no utility service at the Ranch. We generate our own electricity through a Sustainable Power Station, which was developed in cooperation with the Humboldt State U. Environmental Engineering Department and the Schatz Energy Research Center. You can visit the following link (http://now.humboldt.edu/news/students-propel-renewable-energy/) for more information about this exciting project. While we do have electricity, we also strongly discourage certain appliances, which require extensive amounts of energy — such as hair dryers, electric coffee pots, and waffle irons.
Can I have a campfire at Rock Creek Ranch?
Ask the Caretaker when you arrive if the current conditions allow a camp fire. The Ranch is located in the Smith River NRA – a unit of the Six Rivers National Forest. We do have a fire pit on the terrace below the Long House. Due to extreme (summer) fire risk, we do not allow "Tiki" torches, candles or other open flames of any kind outside.

CommentaryBarnes' Notes on the Bible
The Moabites, who had once lorded over Israel Judges 3:12-14, were reduced to subjection by David, and treated with extreme severity (marginal reference). In the time of Ahab they were dependent on the kingdom of Israel, to which it has been generally supposed that they fell at the separation of Israel from Judah. The Moabite monument (see 2 Kings 3:4), discovered in 1869, has now given reason to believe that they then recovered their independence, but were again reduced by Omri, who, with his son Ahab, is said (in round numbers) to have "oppressed" them for "forty years." Ahab's death was seized upon as an occasion for revolt, and Moab (perhaps owing to Ahaziah's sickness) easily regained her independence.

What is lawn aeration?
Many folks ask When to aerate a Lawn, or How to use a lawn aerator. Perhaps you're wondering how much it cost to aerate your lawn, or you're just looking for Lawn aeration tips. Today we'll help you answer all of those questions. In a nutshell, Good lawn aeration simply involves the process of perforating your lawn with small holes. This action provides the necessary oxygen, water, and nutrients to permeate your lawn and move freely throughout the soil.
If your lawn has too many solid particles or compaction, the roots will not be able to grow deep, which prevents the lush thick lawn your after.
Once you learn How to Aerate a lawn and follow these steps, your grassroots will grow easier and deeper into the soil.
The end result is having your lawn looking more lush and green than what was previously possible without lawn aeration. So let's figure out how to aerate a lawn DIY style.
What is a lawn aerator?
A lawn aerator is going to be a piece of equipment or a device that makes the process of aerating your lawn effective and more efficient, and a do it yourself lawn aerator job is one household chore you can easily tackle. These pieces of equipment can range greatly in size and appearance.
They can be manual rolling pins with spikes, they might be an electrical piece of equipment or they can even be shoes with spikes! They all serve the same function which is to loosen up the soil and dirt so that soil is not so compact and the roots of the grass can absorb more air, water, and nutrients. Read on to find out if spike aerators work!
Does my lawn need to be aerated?
This can depend on a lot of factors. The first one is how much activity does your lawn gets? Are you and other people such as family members, neighbors or friends constantly using the lawn? Do you have any pets or animals that enjoy the lawn?
If your soil is compact like clay or overly dry your lawn could be a perfect candidate for aeration. If your grass is not growing as full and green as it did in the past, this could be a sign that it is in desperate need of aeration. Aeration is also great for building turf and keeping weeds from taking over.
What time of year is best to aerate the lawn?
The optimal time to aerate your lawn will be whatever time of year that most things are able to grow and rebuild. Aeration can damage the roots of the grass and the grass needs to be at the right time of year to be able to recover and grow back properly.
This can depend on your location but any time in the spring up until early fall should be optimal for aeration. Aerating in the winter for most places is not advised as it is hard for the grass to heal and recover in these weather conditions.
Most fruit and vegetables will not grow in the winter, likewise, it is harder for grass to combat these weather conditions and it is certainly not ideal for aerating. Also aerating cold hard dirt that possibly has ice, frost or snow is going to be a very excruciatingly hard process!

Preparing your lawn to aerate
So how do you aerate your lawn? Before you can aerate your lawn, you must do some simple preparations. Go out into your lawn and see how dry your soil is. Aerating "dry soil" can be a troublesome task and it is certainly not optimal if you wish to aerate your lawn properly.
It's recommended to aerate your lawn the day after it rains or if you can't wait for the rain, simply water your lawn the day before and let it all sink into the soil.
Mowing your lawn before aerating can really help the process. The grass will be shorter making it easier for you to work and manage it as you aerate. You are able to see more clearly which areas are in need of aeration more than other areas as you mow. Some patches will be less thick or less green.
What type of lawn aeration should I be doing?
There are three main different types of aeration. Plug aeration, spike aeration, and liquid aeration:
Plug aeration involves the process of making a fairly large hole around 1/2-3/4 inches in diameter and up to 6 inches deep. This will remove part of the soil from the roots and is known to improve the overall structure of your soil more than spike aeration.
Plug aeration
It is ideal if you're aerating once a year. One of the downsides to this type of aeration is that if you are not using a high powered automatic plug aeration device it is quite a labor-intensive job.
This method increases the risk of damaging your grass and makes it very difficult for the grass to heal and grow back fully in the short term. However long term, this is the way to ensure your soil is properly aerated.
Spike Aeration
is the process of making a lot of smaller holes around 1-2 inches deep. The advantages of this method are that it is not as labor-intensive and whether you choose to manually do this or not you won't put your body under much physical strain.
Because the holes are generally not as big or as deep as plug aeration, your grass will be less damaged and will be able to heal and recover quicker than plug aeration.
The disadvantage of this aeration is that it is more of a short term solution and your soil is likely to become compact again in as little as 2-3 months depending on how often the lawn and soil are used.
Liquid Aeration
There is also a third type of aeration that is relatively new called Liquid Aeration. This is only possible with a more expensive machine. Instead of making large holes like plug aeration or a lot of smaller holes like spike aeration, you make countless tiny holes throughout the soil. This method is also preferred if you don't wish to overseed your lawn regularly.
What is Liquid aeration? This is the process of combining two 100% organic compounds to the lawn. The first product is a wetting agent from a South American plant extract that helps water penetrate hard clay soils. The second compound is considered a microbial-package used to eat the thatch layer.
This method has not been tested as much as the previously said methods but is meant to improve water retention and will allow the soil to hold onto water more effectively than before. Liquid aeration will add safe and biodegradable substances to your lawn and is completely safe to use around small children, pets and other animals.

How do I use a lawn aerator and which one should I choose?
This is going to greatly depend on what type of soil you may have as well as the size of your lawn and how often you would like to aerate. There are 3 main different types of lawn aerators: Hand or Manual Aerators, Lawn Aerator Shoes and Machine Aerators.
Hand Aerators
Hand aerators or manual aerators are aerators that you will work by manually pushing, poking or rolling a device that will have multiple sharp ends that will poke holes into the soil.
This can be something extremely simple like a pitchfork. Using a pitchfork you would go around the lawn and simply put it into the soil that needs aeration. Rinse and repeat this process, this could be quite a long and strenuous task depending on the size of your lawn. Even smaller lawns you could get exhausted by the end of it!
The other common tool for manual aeration is a Lawn aeration tool from "Yard Butler". This is a turf plug core device that has a handle like a pitchfork that allows you to aerate a small section of lawn that needs some attention. You simply stand on the tool, like a shovel, and lift turf plugs out of the lawn, to provide much-needed oxygen, water, and nutrients to the soil.
This is a much faster and more effective method of aerating your lawn compared to using a pitchfork. The pitchfork method is quite slow and tedious.
Lawn Aerator Shoes
Lawn aerator shoes are exactly what they sound like, they are shoes that help aerate your lawn as you walk on top of it. They are able to do this by having sets of metal spikes on the bottoms that can range between 1-2 inches in length. The shoes will dig into the soil creating small holes allowing extra air, water, and nutrients to get to the roots of the grass.
Lawn aerator shoes are very desirable for those that own and wish to aerate a small lawn and not so ideal for those who have a large lawn.
Here's a good tip or method of speeding up this aerating process. As you are mowing your lawn in preparation for the aeration, you can mow the lawn while wearing these shoes. This saves you your time and energy of having to do two separate trips of mowing and aerating. Be sure your lawn is moist before mowing and aerating!
Machine Aerators
The last type of aeration is machine aeration which is usually powered by some sort of engine. Machine aeration is going to make the aeration process really smooth and easy. Machines can be used for both spike and plug aeration.
Whichever type of lawn aeration you choose, you will have an easy time gliding over your lawn. It is advised to always aerate your lawn with moist soil but with a half-decent lawn aerator machine, you don't need to be as concerned with having the soil fully moist.
The machines are easy to use and will involve you walking over the lawn in a straight line. Even with a machine, it is likely you will need to pass over some areas of the lawn more than once. This is similar to a lawnmower where you will sometimes need to do multiple passes over the grass to get it cut to the right level.
If you think your yard needs to be aerated further you should run the lawn aerator in the opposite path that you just walked. You do not need to remove or clean up the loose soil after aeration. Simply leave it and let it settle back into the soil.
If you have areas of the lawn that have gone patchy or even bald, reseeding the lawn after aeration is a perfect time. You should immediately seed your lawn after your aerate it and you should notice that the grass in these areas will grow greener and faster than it normally does! This is because your soil can now give your grass more access to fully utilize the water, air, and nutrients instead of being blocked and unable to reach the roots of the grass.
You will need to decide what type of aeration is right for your lawn and lifestyle as everyone's lawn and lifestyle are different. What type of aerating device is right for you can depend on how much labor and time you would like to spend aerating your lawn and how much money you would like to spend on an aerating tool.
The size of your lawn will also be a huge factor in what type of aeration is practical. If you have a very large lawn, aeration by pitchfork is not practical at all and could take you more than a day to properly aerate it!
The time of year and weather conditions should also be taken into consideration. You wouldn't want to aerate your lawn in a sub-optimal time of year and have your aeration process not so much benefit to your hard work outside!
If the weather is very hot outside you might aerate your lawn once and think, I'm never going to do that again! If you find aerating your lawn too labor-intensive you might also get discouraged from aerating the lawn again.
You should also decide and know if your lawn truly needs to be aerated or not. Chances are if you are reading about aeration there is a good chance your lawn is in desperate need of aeration! But if your grass is full, thick and green you can probably wait some time until you will need to aerate it.
Consistent mowing and watering of your lawn can be just as important as aerating and can make or break having your lawn look fresh, lush and green!
