Water-Sewer bills to be mailed....
Water-Sewer bills are scheduled to be mailed October 1. Payments will be accepted Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Village Office. 8 E. Main Street or by mail to PO Box 447. Fonda, New York 12068. If you have not received your bill by October 7th, please call the office (518.853.4335) to request a replacement copy.
A property owner who has failed to receive his/her water bill in a timely manner is still responsible for the timely payment of water/sewer rents and any late penalty. An owner of real property has an obligation to be aware of the existence of water meter on his premises and take appropriate action to see that the meter bills are rendered and paid. An implied contract arises between the property owner and the municipality for use of water during the period for which he was not billed and the owner is liable for the unpaid water/sewer rents plus any late penalties. The meters shall remain the property of the Village of Fonda. Any damage to a meter sustained by reasons of carelessness by the owner, or his/her tenants of the premises shall be replaced by the Village of Fonda at the property owner's expense.
According to Local Law 1-1976, Providing for the institution, administration and collection of sewer rents in the Village of Fonda, Montgomery County, New York, Section 5 f reads; "The minimum charge for sewer rentals established by this chapter shall be charged even if the property is unoccupied and no consumption of water is shown on the water meter, or if no sewage is discharged into the sewer system."
Effective April 9, 2012: Charges to unmetered properties will be assessed a flat rate fee of $500.00 biannually or upon each billing cycle, beginning with the bill date October 2012. Non-compliance shall mean the property owner has not contacted DPW within 30 days to make appointment for access or the property owner has not allowed unfettered access to the property by DPW for work needed. In all cases, access and completion of work must be completed with 90 days of notice. Removal of awnings or panels, or other requirements needed to access the water line will be at the expense of the property owner. Meters for mobile homes must be installed in a climate-protected area for prevention of freezing, at property owner's expense.
October 15, 2013: Resolution #14-2013 states " A written request for a billing review must be made within 30 days from the date the bill is rendered, stating the reason for the review. Complaints for bills more than 30 days from the billing date will not be reviewed.
Local Law #2-2014 Providing for the Institution, Administration and Collection of Sewer Rents in the Village of Fonda, New York adopted March 2014:
Section 6 A charge of thirty dollars (30) will be made whenever any water service is disconnected or reconnected because of non payment of sewer rent or other charges relating to the use of the sewer system
Flood Mitigation Funding Request
Based on recommendation from our engineers we will be requesting funds to mitigate repeated flooding as inidicated within the NYRCR Countywide Resiliency Plan, menu item on left. Details are included within the document found on that page.
Message from Mayor Peeler August 13, 2014
It is hard for us to determine the time it will take for the line to clear and will differentiate by each main line.Some homes have a yellow tint this morning and others are already clear.
There are a number of reasons why we give a large time frame window for flushing the hydrants, i.e. "the week of the 11th". 1. The time scheduled to flush hydrants may be interrupted by emergency work the DPW crew may be called for and the flushing would have to be suspended; 2. During the flushing of the hydrants we sometimes will experience a line break that could take up to three days for repair; 3. Finally, we do not know how long each line will take to return to normal. In many cases this is within 12 hours, in other cases it may take longer.
The idea of flushing the lines is to move minerals (sediment) and the alike from the lines so we do not have a buildup in the system. If we did not do this we could see regular discoloring, after time, on a daily basis.
Certainly it is our hope that most of the system would have been clear by this morning with some clearing by the end of the day. If you do not see your water turning clear by this evening you should contact the Streets and Water Commissioner tomorrow morning at 853.4335 extension 25.
The DPW Crew completed the flushing of the system at about 1:00am this morning having started at 8:00pm. They did notice some lines took longer to clear than others. Having said this, if your line was flushed at 8 and another was flushed at midnight, your line will more than likely clear before the other.
Thank you for your patience and please report any continued discoloring beyond this evening to the commissioner.
Letter from the Mayor Aug 11, 2014
Firstly - the Village of Fonda will be flushing hydrants this week. This is to replicate the direct notices, digital media announcements and that provided to the local newspapers, and I am told, printed in the local newspapers.
To answer concerns of the Village water users regarding the disturbance in the system last week:
The water commissioner and the DPW crew had to complete work at our filtration plant without any notice. The type of work that had to be completed should not, I stress, "should not" have caused a disturbance in the complete system. Notice was given to users in the immediate area surrounding the filtration plant as soon as we knew of the work.
Contrary to opinion, once notice was received regarding discoloration in the water I ordered the water commissioner to have a crew go out at 8PM last Thursday, August the 7th and flush lines wherein complaints were received as an emergency response to clearing the system. By the next morning we received reports that most of the water system was coming through clearly at taps within the village homes. The Board of Trustees and myself do not receive any special notice (unless we were aware of user complaints) and in fact for most of us we received the same notice our users of the system did, by turning our faucets on at our homes.
The flushing of hydrants this week has been publicized in newspapers and through digital media. For some of our businesses (large capacity users) it is difficult to plan on auxiliary water supplies no matter how much notice is given due to the amount of water used. This is why our crews, have and will, continue to give these users direct verbal notice of flushing whenever possible.
Regarding the timeliness of flushing hydrants and scheduling of our crew. Since coming in to office and discussion with our water commissioner, we have started flushing hydrants in the evening hours, normally 8:00pm or later. The reason for this move was to allow users of the system to come home and allow time for families to have dinner and tend to the needs of their homes. By flushing the system in the evening hours most, not all, of the system should be clear by the next morning for regular use. Just like all of you, we too have to obtain bottled water to have for morning use.
For those of you that have been to a meeting over the past months, you are aware of the discussions the Board of Trustees has had regarding the state of our infrastructure, meaning our water and sanitary sewage lines. The outlook for the system as a whole is not good and is in dire need of replacement. We have begun working on the sanitary system through grant money received last year and will continue to request additional funding as it is available and such is the case again this year. The engineering firm employed by the both Villages has determined that just in the area of the East Main, Bridge and East Park Streets, 2.5 million dollars in replacement costs for sanitary lines are needed. This is what many of us suspect will be replicated throughout the Village.
With regard to the suggestion that we use the reverse 911 systems to notify users at the times we are flushing the system or when other issues arise, we have looked at this in the past and have had discussions with the school district. The school at that time informed us that use was limited. I will approach this suggestion with the Board of Trustees at our monthly meeting this evening to see what is required and if it is feasible for the Village to have use of this system. The Village has and will continue to provide services to our taxpayers and residents, and we will continue to work and overcome the obstacles faced. We invite you to notify the Village office of any issues that you observe and attend Village Board meetings to see what we are doing.

Re: Support for Mitigation Funding Broadway Creek
Village of Fonda, New York
Dear Mayor Peeler:
This letter stands as evidence
of my strong support for mitigation of the Broadway creek and the
infrastructure (storm drains) of the Village; currently the Village is working
with engineers on a previous grant received for inspection and recommendations
to our sanitary lines (sewage) and they have found $2.5 million dollars is
needed in repair and replacement just in the Bridge and Park Street areas
alone. We know that these findings are going to continue to be the same for
much of the Village - this with needed storm drain replacements and repair is
going to be beyond the abilities of the Village without assistance.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804 May 19, 1864) was a 19th century American novelist and short story writer. He is seen as a key figure in the development of American literature.
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart!
Preach! Write! Act! Do any thing, save to lie down and die!
I have made a captive of myself and put me into a dungeon; and now I cannot find the key to let myself out --- and if the door were to open, I should be almost afraid to come out.

This postcard of interest (pun intended) falls within the Linen Comic genre, generally priced from 50¢ to $3. Just a bit risqué, with the lovely lady showing a lot of leg and the top of her nylon stocking.
Many postcard collectors have serious collections. They're interested in preserving home town history, amassing and cataloguing every postcard printed by a particular publisher or studying the changes in technology over time. But sometimes, postcards are just plain fun!
Collecting humorous cards that tickle your fancy is a great hobby. A wide array of comic cards, both old and new, can be purchased in the 25¢-to-$2-range, so it's an affordable collection for newbies.
My "fun" collections include local humor (cities and states poking fun at their unique foibles), funny faces (both people and animals) and cards that make me giggle for no apparent reason.
And I especially enjoy my collection of punny postcards. A pun is a trick of the word—a surprise in a sentence—a phrase that leads us down one mental path until our minds "get it" and appreciate its double meaning. A good pun (whether verbal or on a postcard) is just as likely to elicit a groan as a grin!
Puns on postcards have the advantage of the visual image to help the reader "catch it" more quickly. Even during the pre-1920s postcard era, like mild limericks, puns were often slightly racy or suggestive.
It's this collection that's most often enjoyed by my non-postcard collecting friends. If you set out a small album of these cards on your coffee table, or tuck a few in frames placed unobtrusively around a room, your visitors will reward you with smiles. They may even be reminded of funny jokes or incidents to share with you. This can make a visit from the in-laws much more palatable!
Here are some of my favorites:
"Carrying out your orders" had a totally different connotation during World War One, when this postcard was most likely published. The grocery deliveryman's closed eyes, intent frown, no-nonsense long stride and smoking cigarette let us know he takes his job quite seriously. Pre-20s, valued at $2.
Bamforth Comics (generally $1-$3), published both in Holmfirth, England and New York City, were popular throughout the first half of the 20th century. This insurance man has caught his prospect when she was not "fully covered."
This Bamforth is a lovely example of a purely visual pun. The words themselves are very straightforward. But the shopkeeper's blithe misunderstanding of what the gentleman wants when he asks for something to keep his hair in creates the humor . . . when he holds up a rather large box. Was he misunderstanding—or was this the jab of a working class man to a high-class one? The store interior, with its signs and displays, makes this an especially nice card.
Sometimes, when it comes to puns, I suppose you just have to spell it out. This pre-1908 undivided back postcard was printed by several different publishers and must have been a favorite of teachers everywhere. I've found several of these at shows for 50¢ apiece.
Understatement can be exquisite. There were never any buffalo or bison known to inhabit the area of Buffalo, N.Y.. I snagged this 1903 postcard from a 25¢ box at a postcard show. Printed in Buffalo, it also fits into my "local humor" collection.
Another slightly risqué card, this pun gives us verbal permission to say something forward without using any untoward words. A modern, standard size chrome comic like this can often be found for less than $1. Matted and framed, this card would be a fabulous gift for your favorite bachelor golfer.
And last, but not by any means least, the consummate card for the collector of punny postcards . . . a "pitcher post card" of course! (groan . . .)

Multiplying Fractions and Whole Numbers
You can multiply fractions by whole numbers in one of two ways:
- The numerator of the product will be the whole number times the fraction's numerator, and the denominator will be the fraction's denominator.
- Treat the whole number as a fraction—the whole number over one—then multiply as you would any two fractions.

ATR Racks Up Orders for 72-600s
ATR collected orders for a total of 19 new ATR 72-600s from two customers last month, one of which also announced plans to lease another nine of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M-powered turboprops.
First, Brazil's Trip Linhas Aéreas announced plans to acquire 18 new 68-seat ATR 72-600s and reserve options on another 22. The plans call for the airline to order nine ATR-600s directly from the manufacturer and lease another nine from Air Lease Corp. and Gecas. A day later EVA Air subsidiary UNI Air signed a contract with the Franco-Italian turboprop manufacturer to buy 10 ATR 72-600s during a ceremony at its home base in Taiwan.
The addition of the 18 airplanes to the Trip fleet would make it the largest ATR operator in the world, with 51 of the turboprops. American Eagle operates the largest fleet now, with 39 aircraft.
Trip plans to use the extra capacity to expand its domestic network with new destinations and add frequency on growing routes it already services. The airplanes' short-field performance will allow access to the most restricted airports in Brazil, ATR said.
In business for 13 years, Trip served 85 cities and flew about 5 million passengers last year and now flies a fleet of some 50 aircraft, including nine Embraer E175s and seven E190s. Controlled by the Caprioli and Aguia Branca groups, it also counts as an investor SkyWest Airlines of the U.S., which holds a 20-percent share of its capital.
"Brazil is providing us huge commercial opportunities as airlines want to expand their regional networks with the most fuel-efficient and environmental friendly aircraft," said ATR chief executive Filippo Bagnato. "We are proud that our aircraft are becoming popular aircraft across the country. There are some 50 already flying, while [another] 40 aircraft will join in the next three years."
Meanwhile, ATR plans to start delivering 600 Series airplanes to Taiwan's UNI Air during next year's third quarter.
UNI Air plans to replace its aging de Havilland Dash 8-300s with the latest variant of the ATR 72 series, equipped with a new Thales avionics suite, a new interior and more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M engines.
"This contract confirms the attractiveness of our aircraft in the rapidly growing Asian region," said Bagnato. "In the last several years, Asia and the Pacific region have represented some 50 percent of our total order intake."
ATR's delivery schedule currently includes some 100 aircraft on order for Asia-Pacific carriers.

Cardinals reliever Kyle McClellan will begin a four week throwing program on Tuesday in an attempt to come back from an elbow injury. -(Photo credit: Wikipedia) St. Louis Cardinals reliever Kyle McClellan is schedule to start a four week throwing program on Tuesday, according to the St. Louis Cardinals official team website. McClellan has been on the disabled list since he last pitched on May 17th.

OHCHR Working with Civil Society Handbook
Oct 25 2010
Download right click "save as"
Working with the United Nations Human Rights Programme: A Handbook for Civil Society is addressed to the civil society actors who, every day in every part of the world, contribute to the promotion, protection and advancement of human rights. Developed following a survey among users of the first edition of the Handbook- Working with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights: A Handbook for NGOs (2006)-this comprehensively updated and revised second edition puts United Nations human rights bodies and mechanisms at its centre. Speaking to all civil society actors, including but not only non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the Handbook explains how civil society can engage with various United Nations human rights bodies and mechanisms. It is the hope of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) that this Handbook will enable more people to enjoy and make claim to their human rights through these bodies and mechanisms. More information about human trafficking on the website of OHCHR.

The Obvious Answer: A Tropical System?
This map shows the highest observed single-location rainfall totals from tropical storms and hurricanes in each state since 1950. They do not represent rainfall totals for entire states. (Data source: NOAA)
It seems like the obvious antidote to a drought would be a tropical storm or hurricane making landfall and quenching the drought.
After all, it has worked before. Tropical Storm Debby brought up to 28 inches of rain to Florida this June - you may have noticed the blue and purple colors over Florida on the previous page. This rain completely wiped out a severe drought and led to significant flooding.
The map above shows that in the most extreme cases, tropical storms and hurricanes can bring two to three feet of rain when they make landfall in the Gulf Coast region.
Granted, you probably don't want the nasty flooding that comes with three feet of rain, but if we could even get a fraction of that up into the Midwest, it would be a huge help, right?
As it turns out, rainfall amounts tend to taper off as tropical storms and hurricanes head north into the Midwest.
As the inset map shows, even the most generous tropical systems generally produce less than one foot of rain in the Midwest. For example, the remnants of Hurricane Ike in 2008 produced up to 9.30 inches of rain at one location in Indiana.
And we will see on the next page that those heavy rainfall amounts aren't as widespread as you might think.

He´s exhausted?!!!! America is exhausted. This man is president in name only. When he waltzes out the WH door he will be a multi-millionaire with more millions to make. He has left us unemployed, poorer, less secure on the world stage, laughed at, less respected, destroyed our healthcare system, spied on us, overrun with illegal aliens, we are leaderless and ungoverned. His total presidency can be summed up in two words, control and money. Where is our leader waiting to return us to that shinning city on the hill? If hillary is elected she will finish the job that obama started. Destroying America. The pain and suffering this administration has foisted upon the American public is a sin. OK, I will get off my soapbox now. But the lonesome George story of obama wanting to take a walk and then this article has really set me off.

This article is hilarious. The writer is attempting to define obama within the boundaries of a real president.Little barry climbed into the starting blocks in 2008 with no spikes in his track shoes. When the starter´s pistol was fired by ValJar, he began walking backwards and has been doing it for six years, a victim of his own ideology and stupidity.

#5 and #6 are right on. He´s had a press that not only supports him, but has run interference for him. Obama has not led nor has he managed, he has simply been playing politics and campaigning his entire presidency. Half the American people deserve the poor situation they find themselves in, after all they voted for this fraud TWICE. The rest of us don´t deserve it, but are exhausted by this empty suit and his corrupt Admin.

What´s interesting is that the MSM still has 2.5 more years to run interference for him. Back when they could tell us that he was super-smart and everything was Bush´s fault, it was easier. Now, even the New York Times, CNN and Chris Matthews are catching on. Now, even his masterful speeches don´t cut the mustard. One is reminded of Humpty Dumpty.

I don´t know if there is anyone I know who is not exhausted - sometimes even four year old kids seem exhausted.Remember when Reagan said to: "Accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative." Sometimes it is hard to find the positive to accentuate - just came back from market where there was a man sitting at a table asking people to sign a paper to raise the minimum wage - again. I told him that I wanted a country where we still had a middle class. He laughed at me.

Carney submitted his ´resignation´ on the same day as Shinseki to try to get the voters to think about something other than the VA scandal. Guess what? It didn´t work. Most voters don´t care who gets up before the reporters and tells lie after lie day after day but they do care about our veterans. This white house never learns.

When one does something poorly or dishonestly, the action becomes a drudgery, something that wears one down. When one does something for which one has been well prepared and does it right, the action seems effortless. This applies to most of life´s actions.I frequently use references to golf as analogies to other activities. When a player is on his game, he sees the target and instinctively knows how to get the ball to it, like Zen. For instance, if he has to curve the shot, or hit it high or low, he knows what that shot feels like, having practiced it multitudes of times, and seeks only the proper sensations, knowing that a swing that feels right normally produces the desired result. It´s not even a conscious effort; he just lets it happen and tries not to let his mind or body interfere. He´s conscious only of his objective, as it should be.When he´s off his game, everything is a struggle as the mind strains to make the body obey, and fails. Instead of confidence, he feels fear and doubt, which are contagious and will infect all areas of life.Obama, who has done nothing but campaign all the livelong day, cannot govern or lead. Now that his inertia, lack of imagination, and the inflexibility of his ideology have finally caught up with him, it´s panic time, and he´s being revealed as the failure he was born and rasied to become. It´s a shame anyone ever told him he was smart or worthy, ´cos he ain´t.

If he were a republican he would have been so buried in negative press that he would have gotten the point and not run for a second term. Inside the LSM bubble he believed that he was actually capable of doing the job. Now, after a host of scandals the LSM has finally awakened and Fauxbama feels the heat. It´s exhausting to fail (and being surrounded by ninnies and lickspittles doesn´t help).

This article should have come with a cah-cah alert. If it was designed to jin up sympathy for O, it failed miserably.And he is at a point in his administration when his agenda seems tired and many of his appointees are exhausted.His agenda is "tired"? It´s not tired, it´s fatal. As for his appointees being "exhausted", what from? I guess lying incessantly can be tiring but as for real work, what?In that regard, he is no different than every second-term president since World War II. For all of them, the sixth year was troubled and filled with administration scandals, political challenges and executive turnover.Yes, he IS different from every second-term president in that he is the only one who wanted to "fundamentally remake America". The others loved our country.In making his announcements on Shinseki and Carney, the president did all the things expected of him in the circumstances, projecting determination and even smiling bravely."Bravely" is not a word I would associate with Obama. How about "apathetically"?But what he didn´t do was signal convincingly that he knows how to provide a way forward for the 966 days he has left in the White House.He couldn´t provide a way during the first 1956 days, either. He relied on others to do it while he fiddled and tried to avoid Michelle.How he responds now will determine whether this week is regarded as a low point or a critical turning point for his presidency.How about fundamentally remaking Obama´s presidency by paralyzing it so no more damage gets done and maybe some damage gets undone?

Golf can be exhausting. Some of the golf carts have batteries designed by his Green Energy flunkies and they can die in the middle of a game. This requires him to walk from hole to hole which could mess up the crease in his pants. And the holes on the greens in Kenya were much wider. And those pesky Republicans keep removing the magnets from the bottom of the cups. He needs to get with a kindred spirit like Toronto Mayor Bob Ford or ex Washington Mayor Marion Barry and chill out. We certainly don´t want to have to call Kenya and ask for a fresh Community Organizer.

Army officials say they want to grow that potential recruiting base, but they say it's also possible that they haven't been measuring all the right things. Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu explains.
Kevin Kampschroer, Senior Climate Change Adaptation Official, GSA
The General Services Administration reviews version four of its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design green building certification program. It wants to know if the LEED system is actually helping agencies meet federal green building goals. Kevin Kampschroer, federal director of the Office of Federal High Performance Green Buildings and senior climate change adaptation official at GSA, tells In Depth with Francis Rose about sustainable practices any agency can implement.
Jessica Klement, Legislative Director, NARFE
Next month, 399 representatives and 28 senators seek re-election. That means federal employees can oversee and grade the people who oversee and grade their agencies. The National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association releases its annual scorecard in time for the election. It keeps tabs on the 113th Congress and how it votes on key legislation affecting federal employees. Jessica Klement, legislative director of NARFE, tells In Depth with Francis Rose about some of those key votes.
Marcia Madsen, Partner, Mayer Brown
Compliance is a bigger part of the acquisition world than ever. Peeling off some layers of compliance, while keeping enough compliance oversight to make sure everyone's doing what they should, could save money for the government and lead to a better outcome for the agencies. Our special report, The Missing Pieces of Procurement Reform, focuses on finding some kind of legislation reform. Marcia Madsen, partner at Mayer Brown and former chairwoman of the Services Acquisition Reform Act panel, tells In Depth with Francis Rose why a lot of the issues members of Congress are talking about today are things the SARA panel looked at in 2006.

Morning Chop: Summary of Atlanta Braves' News
Carpenter reflects on whirlwind 2013 with Braves
ATLANTA — As this year's summer months elapsed and autumn approached, David Carpenter found himself in the midst of a season that provided memories that seemed unimaginable when he exited Spring Training with the assignment to extend his development at the Minor League level.
It is not hard to understand just how far Carpenter progressed this year. The Braves sent him to Triple-A Gwinnett in early April with the thinking he might serve as an effective long-relief option at the big leagues. Six months later, they sent him to the mound to protect a one-run eighth-inning lead against the Dodgers in Game 4 of the National League Division Series.
When Yasiel Puig opened this fateful eighth by sneaking an opposite-field double down the unguarded first-base line, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez chose not to bring dominant closer Craig Kimbrel in for a six-out save. Instead, he opted to stick with Carpenter, who had earned this confidence somewhere in his accelerated transformation from Minor Leaguer to Major League setup man.
Carpenter welcomed the challenge and admirably dealt with the nightmarish result that ended his dream season. A little more than a month has passed since he hung the slider that Juan Uribe drilled over the left-field wall for a two-run home run that sent the Dodgers to the NL Championship Series and forced the Braves to deal with another quick exit from the postseason.
"It was painful for a lot of us," Carpenter said. "The players, myself and the fans included, all of us kind of suffered on that one. I tried to learn from that, put things together and not let it eat at me too much. But it stung for awhile."
The Simba Effect
On June 2nd, 2012, Andrelton Simmons made his debut, a rookie attempting to patch the leakiest left-side infield defense in all of baseball. What happened? The Braves immediately became by far the best left side infield defense in all of baseball, allowing just a .220 GBBABIP on balls to the left-center of the infield for the rest of the season.
Let that sink in. We all intuitively know the difference between a .220 hitter and a .297 hitter is the difference between "can't make it in MLB" and "probable hall of famer." The previous players were turning average hitters into hall of fame caliber hitters, and Andrelton was taking average hitters and reducing them to "not good enough for MLB." But that's not really even the astounding part, because those numbers also included some time when Andrelton was injured.
Andrelton would actually suffer an injury from July 9th until September 9th, at which point the Braves turned to defensive specialists Paul Janish and Jack Wilson; the left center infield's GBBABIP during the time these two defensive specialists were replacing Andrelton? .256.
During the 54 games Andrelton Simmons was actually playing shortstop in 2012, the Braves allowed a left-center GBBABIP of .180, this sentence deserves its own bolded, italicized paragraph.
Braves Wanted $200 Million Through Development Around Turner Field to Stay in Atlanta
More details are trickling in about the Braves sudden announcement they're packing up the tent and moving from Turner Field in downtown Atlanta to a new $670 million facility in Cobb County. The move on Monday caught almost everybody in the sports world off guard, but it looks like the Braves had been engaged with the City of Atlanta for a long time about trying to squeeze more money out of the ancient Turner Field, which hosted its first baseball game in 1997.
Earlier in the week the Braves — on the website they set up to explain the move — claimed Turner Field needed in the neighborhood of $200 million in upgrades, which the team was unwilling to pay.
Late Thursday the Atlanta Journal Constitution obtained a document outlining how the Braves wanted to make $200 million through redeveloping the area around Turner Field. More than that, the team was very specific about how it wanted to go about doing so. The full story is behind a paywall on the AJC site but includes how the Braves didn't want anything like liquor stores, tattoo parlors, pawn shops, etc. as part of the redevelopment under the premise it would be "vulgar" to fans.
MLB approves expanded replay for 2014
[Editorial Note: This was more or less a foregone conclusions. It still has to pass the approval of the Players Association. These rules, like them or not, would certainly have benefited the Braves over the years. Anyway, in case you hadn't heard....]
ORLANDO, Fla. – Major League Baseball took a big step toward full-scale instant replay reviews Thursday when the 30 club owners unanimously approved funding for an extensive video system that would allow managers to challenge almost every umpire's call except balls and strikes.
"The clubs are very excited about it," Commissioner Bud Selig said after the owners' quarterly meetings at the J.W. Marriott Grande Lakes. "It's a gigantic step for Major League Baseball. It's very historic."
SELIG ON BULLYING: 'I'm proud of our players'
MLB hopes to institute the system in time for the start of the 2014 season.
However, the plan must also gain the approval of the Major League Baseball Players Association and the World Umpires Association. MLB officials will meet with both unions in January.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Restoring my Windows.old file after reinstalling OS
Hi, everyone. I tried to make sure I was posting this in the correct forum. I am new to this and desperate at this point, so please bear with me.
I own a Dell Inspiron 1545 and run Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit on it. Recently, a rather nasty virus somehow got past my virus protection (when I finally got rid of it, it was labeled PDF.Exploit, if that helps). It completely shut down everything on my computer, and it was realistic enough that I actually believed the bogus messages stating that my hard drive had crashed due to the motor failing. I am not typically fooled by viruses, but this one looked real. As a result, I was not able to get to anything in my C Drive (which it said was unreadable), a million different bogus error messages kept appearing, and every single icon disappeared from my desktop.
I managed to get around it by reinstalling my operating system with the disc that came with my computer. After the re-installation, I was able to run my virus scan and get rid of the virus. However, nothing on my computer works correctly now. It is all messed up, and I am incredibly frustrated. It is usable, but not very practical. I wondered if there was any way for me to restore my operating system from the Windows.old file that remained after I reinstalled the OS completely.
I don't know if this is more an issue with the laptop or the OS, so if I am in the wrong place, please let me know. Otherwise, any advice would be an absolutely godsend.
Thanks very much.

Historical Maps: Railroad Spiral Tunnels of the Gotthardbahn, 1914
In my previous post, I mentioned that the map of the Gotthardbahn showed the spiral tunnels that the track uses to quickly change elevation in areas with limited space. Here are some fantastic maps of those spirals, taken from a 1914 German encyclopaedia and found on Wikipedia.
The maps show the spirals from north to south, with the distance in kilometres from the northern end of the line clearly shown along the route. The Gotthard Tunnel lies between the first and second map. The spirals are superb examples of late 19th-century ingenuity and engineering skill, still in use on the line today. The double loop around Wassen is considered one of the most photogenic spots along the route, offering three different views of the town's lovely church as the line loops around the town.
Historical Map: Gotthardbahn (Switzerland and Italy), 1898
Here's a beautiful Art Nouveau railway poster promoting the Gotthardbahn that links northern Italy with Switzerland and points north through the famous Gotthard Tunnel. At the time of opening in 1882, the tunnel was the longest railway tunnel in the world at 15 kilometres (9.3 miles).
The map shows the then privately-operated Gotthardbahn and its branch routes in thick black lines (the Swiss Railways incorporated the line into its national network in 1907). The tunnel is indicated by a dashed section, while the railroad spirals that the trains needed to quickly gain or lose elevation when space was limited are also indicated, although certainly not to scale!
The importance of this route to opening up European trade and passenger travel cannot be underestimated, and is well represented by the beautiful allegorical woman, standing atop a winged wheel — a symbol often used by European railway companies of the time — seemingly welcoming travellers from Italy to Switzerland, Germany and France.
Our rating: I'm an absolute sucker for Art Nouveau posters, and one that adds a railway map to the mix is always a winner in my eyes! Four stars.

Official Map: TILO Commuter Rail – Ticino, Switzerland and Lombardy, Italy
The emergence of a unified Europe has led to a gradual but noticeable blurring of borders between countries in Europe, which now seem to often exist only on maps. With free and easy travel between the European countries that are bound by the Schengen Agreement, it's not impossible for people to live in one country and work in another, especially when they live close to a border.
This map shows transit services in such an area, the border between Italy and Switzerland north of Milan. Here, Italian Lombardy (shown with a grey background) borders the Italian-speaking Swiss canton of Ticino (white background). Transit between the two areas is becoming more intertwined and reliable, as this map illustrates. The services offered by the issuer of the map — TILO — are the two-digit "S-number" lines: S10, S20, S30 and the narrow-gauge S-60. However, the map also shows the lines of Milan's own commuter rail network that interact with these services: the S4, S5, S9 and S11 routes, as well as indicating a (slower) regional service that runs between the two provinces. Even the extent of Milan's Metro is indicated, as are its interchanges with these commuter rail services.
The map itself is quite handsomely produced, and has a distinctive look of its own. The typeface used – Syntax – has a friendly, slightly quirky look to it that helps lift the map up from that typically efficient but clinical Swiss design. The "subway map" stylings definitely help to convey a sense of modernity and speed, even though the main centres shown on the map would take quite a while to travel between (1.5 hours from Milan to Bellinzona; almost three hours from Milan to Airolo).
If there's a weakness to the map, it's probably the multitudes of blue bus routes shown on the Swiss side of the border: they clutter that part of the map with a lot of visual noise and probably don't contain enough routing information to be that useful past an initial confirmation that a town is serviced by a bus route.
Our rating: An attractive and modern-looking map that combines information from different transit agencies to benefit its customers: always a good thing! Three-and-a-half stars!

Official Map: Rhätische Bahn, Switzerland
The Rhätishe Bahn (or Rhaetian Railway) is a publically-owned Swiss railway*, serving the huge and mountainous canton of Graübunden. The Swiss Federal Railways extend only a few kilometres over the cantonal border to the capital at Chur, as seen at the top of this interesting little map. Placed underneath the window on trains, between facing rows of seats, this map features something I've never seen on a diagrammatic map before: elevation contours.
Four colours — green, brown, blue and white — signify four bands of elevation, all the way up to 4,000 metres (13,000 feet) above sea level! Because of this, it's quite easy (and very interesting!) to see how the railway mainly runs along valleys at lower elevations, and where tunnels are needed to cross from one valley to the next.

* Corrected a previous version, which stated that the railway was privately-owned, which it is not. This is why you shouldn't always believe everything you read on Wikipedia, kids!
Official Map: Jungfraubahnen, Switzerland
Another stunning panoramic painted rail map from the Alps of Switzerland — its very similar to this one of the Zentralbahn (Nov 2012, 4 stars), which can actually be seen on this map entering from the lower left and terminating at Interlaken.
The map shows the railways around the Jungfrau mountain, operated by different companies, but marketed together as "Jungfrau — the Top of Europe". The Jungfraujoch station sits almost three vertical kilometres higher than Interlaken, and is the highest railway station in Europe. The last 7 km of the trip is all within a tunnel through the massive mountain range (shown as a dashed line on the map above): two intermediary stations have panoramic windows to observe the spectacular scenery.
The map is quite beautiful, making the absolute most out of the spectacular landscape, although the sheer lushness of the illustration can make some of the text a little hard to make out. As an added bonus, other connecting services outside the Jungbahn network — be it rail or aerial cable car — are also shown in black.
Just in case this map has inspired you to head off to Switzerland to catch the next train, be warned that this trip is not cheap. The trip from Kleine Scheidegg station (the start of the actual Jungfraubahn to the summit) costs 120 Swiss Francs (roughly €100, or $US130). If you want to come from Interlaken Ost, that's a mere 196 CHF (€160/$US211). Ouch!
Our rating: Stunningly beautiful illustrated map. Four stars.

Official Map: Zentralbahn, Switzerland
Here's another unusual transit map - this one for the narrow-gauge, rack-assisted Zentralbahn railway in central Switzerland, serving the cities of Lucerne, Interlaken, Engelberg and points inbetween. Before a tunnel was built in 2010, the grade between Grafenort and Engelberg reached a staggering 25 percent — hard work even for a rack-assisted engine!
Totally appropriately for a system that serves an alpine area, the map looks as if it would be completely at home in a Swiss ski resort, with a detailed painting of the majestic Alps that's reminiscent of the the famed James Niehues. Over this, the route lines are simply overlaid in red. Stations are labelled in blue boxes, while other destinations — many accessible through other alpine cog railways — are labelled in white ones.
The map has been rotated to show the best view of the valleys that the trains travel along, but the icon in the bottom right corner shows the true relation of the lines, with north properly towards the top of the page.
Our rating: Unusual, but appropriate and highly effective design that definitely evokes as sense of place. Four stars.
(Source: Official Zentralbahn website)
Official Map: City of Zurich Night S-Bahn and Bus Network, Switzerland
One type of map we haven't covered yet here at Transit Maps is the night services map, often considered a very poor relation to the main map. However, there are some excellent examples out there, especially this black and yellow beauty from the city of Zurich in Switzerland.
Have we been there? No.
What we like: Graphically very striking with its black and yellow colour scheme. Good differentiation between bus and train services accomplished by use of thick and thin route lines, and some subtle work at stations: train stations are white, major bus interchanges are a light tint of yellow, and minor bus stations are a darker tint of yellow. Fits seamlessly into the next map up in the series, showing night services in the Canton of Zurich (PDF).
What we don't like: The way the S-Bahn tracks disappear between the Hauptbahnhof and Bellevue (re-emerging only to cross the river on a bridge) may be logical - the tracks are in a tunnel - but it breaks the flow of the route badly.
Our rating: A great example of the night services map genre. 4 stars!

Give your best argument re: waffles v. pancakes.
Waffles provide "Flavor Buckets" for the butter and syrup. But! Nothing like a hotcake. It's best to make a pancake then put it into a waffle maker. But then…by doing that, you'll upset the breakfast gods.
Anonymous asked you:
Jonah, how does it feel to have to live in two worlds so to speak. One where you are the drinking party-goer, and one where you are a nerd among nerds on the podcast.
Some of the biggest nerds I know are drinking party-goers, and some of the biggest "drinking party-goers" I know are huge nerds. Nobody is ever one thing.

To Jonah, what was it like writing for the Andy Milonakis Show? Also Nerdist listener without the anonymous.

Tom: It was actually in the script that Hermione slaps Draco so I said to Emma: Do you want to run this? We should rehearse this, we should make it as convincing as possible. Slap me!She was like: No I'm not gonna slap you. I said: Go on, slap me right now, lets just do this, and while I said slap me, I meant "movie slap" me.Emma: I felt terrible, I feel really bad, I'm not even sure what I was thinking.Tom: She just went swish, and slapped me right across the face, which completely took me by… I didn't know what to do and I kind of walked off sheepishly.
