My client and I were very pleased with the settlement reached in the Virginia Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought against Greater Lynchburg Transit Company (GLTC) and Lisa Dibble (former GLTC board President) after 2 plus hours of mediation on August 22, 2012. The lawsuit was brought under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Our client initially filed without legal representation but decided it would be in his best interest to retain a lawyer after running into several obstacles thrown up by the defense lawyer. Our office was retained and we filed a Bill of Particulars on Mr. DePaul's behalf, which set forth the basic premises of the case as follows:
"5. Virginia Code 2.2-3707 requires that "All meetings of public bodies shall be open, except as provided in §§ 2.2-3707.01 and 2.2-3711." Additionally, "[E]very public body shall give notice of the date, time, and location of its meetings by placing the notice in a prominent public location at which notices are regularly posted and in the office of the clerk of the public body, or in the case of a public body that has no clerk, in the office of the chief administrator."
6. Virginia Code 2.2-3701 states that a "Meeting" or "meetings" "means the meetings including work sessions, when sitting physically, or through telephonic or video equipment pursuant to § 2.2-3708 or 2.2-3708.1, as a body or entity, or as an informal assemblage of (i) as many as three members or (ii) a quorum, if less than three, of the constituent membership, wherever held, with or without minutes being taken, whether or not votes are cast, of any public body."
7. On June 16, 2011, Lisa Dibble, (Acting GLTC President at the time), convened a meeting with Jim Mundy (Acting GLTC Vice-President at the time), and Jennifer Martin (Acting GLTC Secretary/Treasurer at the time) and Bill Williamson to discuss GLTC affairs. Said meeting was closed to the public, no agenda was provided to the public, no minutes were kept, and public notice of the meeting was not provided as required by Virginia Code § 2.2-3707. Closure of the meeting also violated Virginia Code § 2.2-3712. See Plaintiff's Exhibit 1
8. On another occasion, Defendant Dibble convened a meeting via telephone conference with Jim Mundy (GLTC Vice-President), and Jennifer Martin (GLTC Secretary/Treasurer). See Plaintiff's Exhibit 2. Said meeting was closed to the public, no agenda was provided to the public, no minutes were kept, and public notice of the meeting was not provided as required by Virginia Code § 2.2-3707. Holding the meeting via teleconference violated Virginia Code § 2.2-3708."
We expected to uncover additional details as to the alleged violations and other similar occurrences via discovery and witness interviews prior to trial. Settlement means that we will not investigate other potential violations up to the date of the mediation agreement.
The purpose of the lawsuit was to enforce the requirements of FOIA and to protect the public's right to know about the goings on at GLTC. It was unfair for my client to be accused of prosecuting a personal vendetta against the former board president. While it is true that my client was upset with how his complaints regarding FOIA violations were handled by board leadership, the lawsuit would never have been filed if his complaints were properly addressed in the first place. Despite the unnecessary allegations against him personally, Mr. DePaul held true to his cause and saw the matter through to a successful conclusion.
FOIA violations are almost always serious. In this case there was increased cause for concern because the known violations occurred during the height of a major budget fiasco wherein hundreds of thousands of dollars had either possibly gone missing or been misspent. Circumstances such as these increase the need for strict adherence to FOIA requirements because GLTC is a public body funded in large part by public funds. The FOIA policy statement found at Virginia Code 2.2-3700 states:
" The affairs of government are not intended to be conducted in an atmosphere of secrecy since at all times the public is to be the beneficiary of any action taken at any level of government. Unless a public body or its officers or employees specifically elect to exercise an exemption provided by this chapter or any other statute, every meeting shall be open to the public ….All public records and meetings shall be presumed open, unless an exemption is properly invoked."
Since this is a blog I will leave it at that. Here are a few links to the news stories regarding the case:
I greatly appreciate the even treatment the parties were given by the Lynchburg News and Advance reporter Alicia Petska, who was always receptive to my comments and allowed Mr. DePaul's side of the story to be heard and fairly reported despite the allegations of a personal nature that were made against him by some of the defendants and/or their representatives.
Personally, I am a very firm believer in the need for strong 'sunshine' laws and am always interested in hearing from anyone who may need legal assistance in order to enforce FOIA in any context.

When we left off, Original Daddy Mikael told Stefan he must lure Klaus back into town. In order to do so, Stefan, Damon, Elena and Mikael come up with a plan that they'll stab Mikael, tell Klaus they've killed his father, and when Klaus presses Stefan for the truth, it's exactly what he'll be able to give him. As soon as Stefan hangs up the phone, Elena pulls the dagger out of Mikael and he eventually comes to as Rebekah sits there waiting for her tense father/daughter reunion.
Tyler and Caroline are getting ready for the dance, but soon start arguing when he says he wants to get a bite, as in a bite of a human. Caroline yells at him for letting Rebekah's ideas get into his head and is further infuriated when he admits he set Rebekah up with Matt for the dance. "He should not be going to dances with evil blood sluts," Caroline responds in typical fashion.
Rebekah, meanwhile, is excited for her very first high school dance, but emotional at the same time. "I've spent my whole life loving and hating my brother with equal measure. I never thought I'd be the one to help drive a stake through his heart," she tells Elena who then presents her with the Original Witch's necklace. But Rebekah never makes it to the dance because Elena stabs her in the back saying she just can't leave anything to chance.
The Mystic Falls HS gym coincidentally gets flooded, so Tyler ends up moving the party to his house. And just like that, he has a band (My Morning Jacket), decorations, drinks and tons of people in his backyard. But the group quickly learns that the party is being thrown at the hands of Klaus who has returned to celebrate his father's death. And half the people in attendance are a hybrid army he's amassed.
Finally it's time for the Klaus-Mikael showdown. As the two stand face-to-face, the hybrid army appears behind Mikael. "They may be sired by you, but they're still part vampire and can be compelled by me," Mikael says as he grabs Elena. Mikael then berates his stepson, whose eyes begin to well up. (Is this that humanity you speak of, Joseph Morgan?) "If you kill her, you lose your leverage so go ahead," Klaus threatens, to which Mikael responds, "Your impulse, Niklaus, it has and will forever be the one thing to keep you from truly being great." And with that, Mikael stabs Elena, sending Klaus into momentary shock. It's while he's reeling that Damon swoops in with the special all-powerful dagger and stabs Klaus from behind. Then Elena reappears, revealing it was Katherine and she sends the wolfsbane grenades shooting into the army. But because nothing in Mystic Falls ever goes as planned, Stefan, shockingly, grabs the dagger loose, allowing Klaus to grab it and finish Mikael off. Klaus thanks Stefan and tells him he will no longer be under his compulsion.
Back at home, Damon is livid that he had Klaus dead and that they were prepared for everything that could've happened — except Stefan being the one to save him. "We'll survive this, we always survive. Trust me," Elena tells Damon as the two look so very deep into each other's eyes. "We're never getting Stefan back, you know that," he says. "Then we'll let him go. We'll have to let him go," she responds.
As if enough hadn't occurred in the episode, Katherine calls Damon to say goodbye, but when she hangs up, we see she's with Stefan. "He doesn't know where it all went wrong," she tells Stefan. "He doesn't need to know." And then we flash back to earlier in the night: When Klaus told "Elena" she looked nervous, he then added that if he's killed, he's ensured Damon will die too. Katherine tells Stefan, hoping he'll be able to dig deep inside him to care. "Klaus will be killed and we'll have our freedom but ... your brother will be dead, Stefan, unless you care enough to do something about it," she pleads. So why did Katherine choose to keep Klaus, who she's been running from, alive? Because she too cares for the Salvatore brothers. And then Katherine adds that she hopes he'll now get mad.
In the final scene, Stefan calls his buddy Klaus who's unaware that his sister is dead and thinks he's about to bring his whole family back together for a reunion. "You know what never gets old?" Stefan says. "Revenge." At that moment, Klaus opens the doors to where his family's caskets should be, but they're gone ... Stefan has them. "As someone who's been one step ahead for 1,000 years were you prepared for this?" Stefan asks.
What did you think of the midseason finale? Did you hear the word "humanity" or "sired" one too many times? And what do you think will happen when the show returns in January? Until then, comment below, and don't forget to check out this week's Vampire Diaries Bite with Joseph Morgan.

How Filner Bolstered the Budget
Photo by Jamie Scott Lytle
Mayor Bob Filner
In his first budget proposal for next year, Mayor Bob Filner faced down a $38.4 million budget gap in the city's day-to-day fund and yet managed to dig up cash for new budget additions.
About a month later, he's made room for more new items, including funding to keep the veteran's homeless shelter open year-round, four new police staffers and even $50,000 for the seal cam at the La Jolla Children's Pool.
He also penciled in funding for additional infrastructure fixes and backtracked a bit on his suggested hit to City Attorney Jan Goldsmith's budget in his latest budget revision.
Much of the extra cash comes from larger-than-expected revenues, which contributed to a $17 million surplus for this year. Filner wants to apply more than three-quarters of that cash to next year's budget.
Here's a look at some places Filner found cash for the city's operating fund.
• $5.9 million in property taxes: The County Assessor's Office projects an extra $2.6 million in property tax hauls and a $3.3 million hike in remaining payments following the dissolution of the city's redevelopment agency.
• $3.8 million from tobacco settlements: Years ago, attorneys general from California and other states reached massive settlements with tobacco companies to cover costs associated with tobacco-related illnesses. This year, the city received an extra $3.8 million in settlement cash, which the mayor incorporated in his latest budget proposal.
• $1.6 million in lease savings: Filner's office projects $1.6 million in savings after city staffers move from 600 B Street to 525 B Street later this year after the city's current lease expires. Real-estate broker Jason Hughes recently helped the city secure that deal.
• $1.3 million in worker's compensation savings: City officials had planned to contribute extra cash to a fund set aside for workers' compensation costs next year but unexpected surpluses for this year helped the city replenish that cash sooner than planned. This allowed Filner to nix the $1.3 million general fund allocation for next year.
• $925,000 in city attorney cash: Goldsmith's office regularly sets aside money from settlements, judgments and court costs associated with its enforcement of consumer and environmental protection laws. The city attorney's office saw a $925,000 increase in those funds this year, and Filner penciled in that amount in city attorney's office personnel additions in his revised budget.But this cash comes with a catch. Assistant City Attorney Mary Jo Lanzafame said this money can only be used to support attorneys and staffers who work on the cases. This additional funding partially offsets Filner's initial $1.4 million reduction to the city attorney's office budget, though Lanzafame said the office will continue to oppose any cuts. Even with this infusion, Lanzafame said, Filner's budget would require staffing cutbacks.

Lisa, you forgot the fact that millions of dollars were saved by the City by withholding any cost of living adjustments for its employees over the last 7 years, and then deducting additional money out of their pay checks over the last 4 years. The sacrifices the city workforce has made are an integral part of the City's brighter financial outlook.
It's a quibble over one budget item, but $50,000 for the seal cam is preposterous! Tell me again why this funding couldn't continue to come from Western Alliance for Nature Conservancy?

I was so excited to get this- I thought I was going to love it. It was my 2nd UD palette (Naked 1 was my first). Turns out that's not the case!
I do like a majority of the eye shadows. Some are really nice:
Penny Lane
Junkie, Laced
These are smooth and pigmented.
But then there are some problem shadows...
Jagged is one because of the crazy glitter fallout. A lot of reviews mentioned this so I knew to expect that. But I also have a problem with:
These shadows are patchy, harder texture and fade quickly! They swatch well but on the eyes are so unimpressive. Also Freebird is not pigmented. At all.
I think this might be because the textures of these shadows.
Overall, for the price, I was underwhelmed. I was really looking forward to loving this but I don't. I don't reach for it often. I wish I would have got a different palette I would have liked more instead.
I do really like Naked 1 (and I have since gotten Naked 2, which I also like) so I'll stick with the naked palettes and skip the Vice palettes.

I do honestly love this palette. I do not see it available anymore because I believe it was limited edition. I got this for christmas and out of all my eyeshadows I use this palette the most. I love a few shades so much they have almost become my everyday ones. I do not have the palette in front of me to look at but trust me!! The palette is my favorite color(bias) so I felt the need to ask for it. I do not use the pink and blue colors much but a pop of color would be nice. I want to try it but am too afraid. IF you love color this is the palete for you. Its a great mix and even has a few mattes. I do love it but I know others have come along too.

Let me just say that I would not have bought this product myself because I cannot justify spending upwards of $50 for a palette, but I received it for Christmas and was very excited about it. I have to say that I was kind of disappointed. This is the first UD product I received, and I am not sure that I would purchase anything else from them. Overall, the palette is a good one, but I feel like for this palette you are paying for the name more than quality. Quite a few of the shadows produce tons of fallout from micro glitter, but some of the eye shadows are really good, and most of them give really good color payoff. But I would rather just buy NYX shadows because they are way cheaper, and for me they work just as well and are very pigmented.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Normal, Fair, Neutral Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine Eyes: Blue
This is one of my very favorite palettes. This has twenty (yes 20!) shadows all showcased in a beautiful gothic looking matte black case with the inset of the Urban Decay logo in a faceted jewel in the top. The box is a sturdy rubberized plastic spring-hinged case. It does show fingerprints though due to the softer rubber texture. This has a large mirror inside and comes with a double ended brush. Both ends are rather large though and meant for an all over application or blending. I do wish one end had been a liner end or at least a smaller angled tip for a crease brush. Oh well,that's not a dealbreaker. This has a nice mix of some neutrals and some bright vivid colors. Some are shimmers and some are mattes. I love that I can use this same palette for a simple everyday look, or vamp it up for a more dramatic evening look. The shadows are well pigmented and apply smoothly and seem to glide right on. These blend well and do not flake off or cake up. I have been able to use this year 'round as there is such a good mix of colors. Anonymous is a bone color, Freebird is a carnation pink, Muse is a golden brown, Chaos a vivid blue, Noise a deep rich pink, Unhinged a teal, Blitz a gold, and Junkie a forest green that leans blue. This has a range from bone (Anonymous) to dark charcoal (Black Market). I do use a primer beneath these as I do all shadows and it helps the shadow stay put all day as well as pop. The darker shades like Chaos and Junkie do tend to fade over the day, but no more than any other brand of shadow with normal wear. This is the perfect palette for a smokey eye, a neutral eye, a pin up girl look, or any look you can dream up. I've had hours of fun with this palette and the versatility in looks you can achieve with it. I love this palette! A rare 5 lippys from me for this winner.

One of my favorite palettes! Received it as a present for my birthday and I wouldn't give it up for anything. I love how much pigment is in each of the eye shadows and how well they apply. I would recommend using an eye shadow primer before applying any of the shadows because as the day goes on the shadow can fall below your eyes especially if it is very sparkly. I love all the fun colors in the this palette and I also enjoy all of the different combinations and looks you can create. I would defiantly buy it again and I recommend it to everyone.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Oily, Medium Hair: Brown, Kinky Eyes: Brown
Normally I don't like buying palettes due to the fact that I never use all the colors on there, but this palette was just absolutely perfect. The colors are really pigmented, last for hours, and vibrant. I know this might not be a good thing for some people, but if you really love color, then this palette is absolutely perfect.
Some of my favorite shades are Blitz, Penny Lane, Noise, and Unhinged. Personally, I haven't had any problems with the quality or application of the eyeshadows but I did notice that the formula feels a little different than their individual eyeshadows.
I'm not a fan of the brush that it came with but it comes in handy when you want to blend the colors together. The size of the palette does not bother me but I can see as to why some people don't like it, especially for travel. If anything, I wish that it was thinner since none of the pans are too deep. I do like that it come with a giant mirror.
Overall, this has been one of my favorite palettes and it is one of the most used items in my make-up drawer.

Got this 2 weeks back. Had contemplated getting it for over 3 months because I was afraid I wouldn't use most of the colours like yellow and hot pink. The rest like dark green and blue could be used for smokey playful eyes. Caved in after a while and I'm not regretting it. The colours are really strong, what you see on the palette is what you get on your skin! Most eye shadows don't give you that at all. The colour is lasting too even without an eye shadow primer and humid weather.

Bit of a hit and miss, I don't use all of the colours but I do use the bright pink as a blusher. It can also be used over a primer on your lips, totally buildable so you can create a unique lip colour!!

Steve Capus Named Executive Producer of 'CBS Evening News'
Former NBC News president Steve Capus is joining CBS News as the executive producer of "CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley" and executive editor of the news division. He will begin in his new role in July.
Capus was president of NBC News for eight years, from 2005 to 2013. Before that he was executive producer of "NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw" and later Brian Williams from May 2001 to June 2005. At CBS, he replaces Patrica Shevlin who is joining "60 Minutes."
"The Evening News is an excellent broadcast, and we believe under Steve's leadership it will get even better," Jeff Fager, CBS News chairman said in a statement. "He is a real pro with an extraordinary record, and we are fortunate to have him joining us at CBS News."
Capus will be the third "Evening News" EP in three years. Shevlin oversaw the show when Pelley joined as anchor in 2011. Before that, Rick Kaplan was EP of the show for four years, when it was the "CBS Evening News with Katie Couric." A few years earlier, Kaplan worked for Capus at NBC News when Kaplan was president of MSNBC. And in a further show of how small the TV news world really is, Kaplan replaced Rome Hartman as EP of "Evening News." Hartman was later hired by Capus at NBC News to launch "Rock Center."
Capus will now be competing head-to-head against his friend and former NBC colleague Brian Williams. Capus also produced Williams' MSNBC show in the late 1990s before moving up the ranks at NBC News.

about sampling.
2- Biochemical
of Blood Samples
Determination of blood
biochemical profile is a
very useful and rapid
test, as it gives the
veterinarian an overview
of how your animal body
functions. Usually
veterinarians by
interpretation of these
profiles can find
internall disorders
and/or where dysfunction
may be occurring.
It is better to send
the animal to laboratory
for blood sampling. If
it is impossible, depend
on the requested test, a
blood sample is sent to
a laboratory with or
without anticoagulant.
The tests such as blood
sugar, urea, albumen,
total protein,
immunoglobulin, IgG,
bilirubin, Ca, P, Cl,
Cholesterol, Kereatinin,
Mg, Mn, nitrate, K, Na,
ureic acid, enzymes(Ck,
GGT, Alkp, Ast),
Counts(CBC), PCV are
routine in Pasteur
veterinary laboratory.
Interpretation of test
results depends on
animal species, size,
sex and disease and must
be carried out by a
veterinarian. Changes in
the biochemical profile
can help a doctor to
diagnose diseases
affecting the liver,
kidney, pancreas, or
endocrine systems. Once
diagnosed, many of these
diseases are treatable.
In most cases,
especially in pet
animals, a biochemical
profile may be
recommended in
intervals, as part of a
health maintenance plan
and disease control.
We cordially request
from dear veterinarians,
industrial farmers and
pet animal owners, for
more information about
biochemical test and
directions for
interpretation of test

Serological Tests for
Poultry Blood & Egg
Serological tests are
sometimes regarded as
the principal means of
evaluating infectious
disease in poultry.
Serological methods,
however, have been
applied widely in the
monitoring of
vaccination response in
The several tests
including IF, AGID, RST,
HI, EISA, for Newcastle
disease diagnosis,
Influenza, Infectious
Bursal Disease,
Infectious Bronchitis,
Encephalomyelitis, MG,
MS, Ornitobacter,
Salmonelosis, Anemia,
Leucosis-J and TRT in
chicken, turkey, quail,
duck, ostrich, pigeon
and caged birds, are the
main activities of
Pasteur veterinary
The first report of the
use of a serological
test in the diagnosis
and control of a disease
of poultry was made in
early 20th century by
using of a Tube
Agglutination Test
for Pullorum disease.
Rapid Agglutination
Tests are still widely
performed for
gallisepticum, and
M. synoviae in
The blood sample that
will be sent to
laboratory must be taken
before bird feeding (as
they are fasted).Do not
freeze blood or serum,
and please send samples
to laboratory as soon as
possible (less than 24
Inhibition (HI) is
another type of
serological test. Its
application is not only
for detection but also
for quantification of
specific antibody
against Newcastle,
Influenza, EDS,
Infectious Bronchitis
and MG in poultry.
Enzyme Linked Immune
Sorbent Assay (Elisa) is
one of the serological
testing method to be
widely taken up by the
poultry industry.
Initially, the Elisa
technique used by
scientists worked in
university and
government laboratories.
However, producing
commercially kits,
allowed relatively
simple laboratories to
carry out a range of
serological tests for
important poultry
Just as mammals pass on
a package of specific
antibodies to their
progeny via the first
milk or colostrums,
birds achieve the same
result by secreting a
large amount of antibody
into the yolk of their
eggs. For this reason
yolk extracts can be
used as a substitute for
serum samples for
serological monitoring.

that are cultured and
identified by Pasteur
laboratory are:
Streptococcus, Listeria,
Salmonella, Vibrio,
Pseudomonas, Morexalla,
Niesseria, Brucella,
Bacillus, clostridium,
Antibiogram test,
measures the ability of
an antibiotic or other
antimicrobial agent to
inhibit bacterial growth
in vitro. This ability
may be estimated by
either the dilution
method or the diffusion
method. Antibiotic
susceptibility testing
has become a very
essential step for the
proper treatment of
infectious diseases.
It is used to guide the
veterinarian in
selecting the best
antimicrobial agent and
also to accumulate
information on the
resistance of
microorganisms of public
health importance.
In Pasteur
veterinary laboratory,
the choice of drugs used
in a routine antibiogram
are divided into two
1- Set 1 includes drugs
that are available in
most veterinary pharmacy
in Iran.
2- Set 2 are to be
performed only at the
special request of the
veterinarian, or when
the causative organism
is resistant to the
first-choice drugs.

Histopathology is one of
the major tools of diagnosis in veterinary. The major advantages of
histopathology are the ability to provide a precise diagnosis of some diseases,
as well as demonstrating the tissue reactions.
Furthermore, veterinary histopathology is the only way to diagnose some
diseases. As a general term, Histopathology is a field of pathology which
specializes in the histological study of diseased tissue.
Histopathological examination of tissues starts with surgery, biopsy or autopsy.
The tissue is removed, and then placed in a fixative which stabilizes the
tissues to prevent decay. The most common fixative is formalin (10% formaldehyde
in water).
For formalin 10% preparation, please mix one part of commercial formalin (for
example 100 ml) with nine parts of water (for example 900 ml), and use this
solution for primary preservation of tissue.
In Pasteur laboratory, we provide commonly used histopathological methods
for veterinary diagnosis.
For more histopathology information, other than those mentioned above or
for more details about sampling and tissue preservation,
please contact us.

Post Written By: Anti Intellect. The Views and opinions of the post are explicitly Anti Intellect's
What is it about Love & Hip Hop Atlanta that makes the cast so hellbent on using homosexuality an insult? The past few months have seen at least five members of the cast using the possibility that another cast member might be gay to attack and insult them. This form of homophobia is quite common in our society that all too often treats being gay as something negative, something to be ashamed of, and something that is degrading.
Twitter has most often been the location where these homophobic arguments among the members of the cast have played out. Earlier this year, Mimi and Benzino got into an argument on Twitter which saw them both using the prospect of the other being gay to attack and insult one another. Mimi threw out that Benzino is "suppose to be a heterosexual" and that they should "talk about the dicks in his ass." Benzino accused Mimi of having had a threesome with another woman, and having performed oral sex with another woman. Both of the are examples of straight people using the specter of homosexuality as something to attack and/or insult another person with. The idea being that not being straight is something one needs to be ashamed of. Continue reading

My DS is almost 7 months old. He was breastfed up until about 3 weeks ago and now has formula all day and he is breast fed once overnight. When he wakes up in the morning, he doesn't seem hungry. Last night, for example, he had 8oz formula at about 6/6:30, I nursed him at midnight and he woke up at 6:30 and wasn't hungry. I gave him a bottle and he reluctantly drank 5 oz. This is the norm. He only gets about 26 oz of formula all day and I can't imagine he's getting much BM at night (my supply is basically shot). He's happy otherwise. So anyone else have a baby that isn't hungry upon waking?
Thanks for listening to me ramble!

The Little Red Schoolhouse of Mohawk, New York
There is a story here and a life time of memories in this little one room schoolhouse.
As a young child, Lady Lilly and some of the other children in her family (11) attended classes at this school in Mohawk, New York. Just recently I presented the photo of the schoolhouse. Lady Lilly hesitated a moment and then said " that is my school!" "The boy's would have to go to the school an hour or so early when it became cold so that they could start the wood stove before the teacher and students arrived." At times books would have to be shared as there were not enough to go around.
Seeing that there were many kids in her family, I said with a smile "I guess that most of the children were her brothers and sisters." Lady Lilly glanced at me and giggled. Lady Lilly recalled her teacher lived about a mile away from the school. The teacher taught her how to do tatting, crochet, knitting and needlework. Crochet is my favorite past time.
The twinkle in her eyes was enough to tell me that she had very fond memories of her teacher and the little red schoolhouse./jc
The old Plank Road School District No. 7 of the Town of Mohawk. It was closed in 1949. The exact age of the school is not known but it was built before 1870. At the turn of the century it was renovated and paneled throughout. A new floor was laid. It was moved here in June, 1973 from the southwest corner of Route 30A and Old Trail Road. It was a sad sight without its roof, which was removed to get under wires along Old Trail Road. It was placed upon a new foundation of cement blocks.
After standing without a roof the first winter the BOCES building trades classes replaced the roof as part of their training in 1974. School children helped with scraping and painting the exterior in 1975. A flea market was held to secure additional funds. New siding was put on the back and many boards replaced in other areas. This was done in 1977. Unfortunately in 1978 the main beam supporting the roof broke and had to be braced. This required a contractor. Application was made to the America the Beautiful Fund and a grant of $2,000 was received. Before the beam could be repaired the entire ceiling had to be ripped out. The work was done by the Youth Employment Training program of BOCES.
Power was brought into the school in 1978. Things were pretty much at a standstill for a few years. Mr. Crane, Chairman of the project, died May 30, 1981 never to see the fulfillment of his dream. His wife, Arda Crane, was determined to see the project completed and enlisted the aid of area residents. Many memorial gifts were received and a contractor was hired to repair the beam and replace the ceiling in 1982. Shutters were made by the Green Thumb groups in St. Johnsville and painted and hung by our FFCS shop class.
The contractor reported that the stringers and west sill needed to be replaced as the building was not safe to hold groups of visitors. He would do the work.
Another auction was held to secure more funds in 1982 and by 1983 we were finally able to start work on scraping and painting the interior. Many volunteers helped evenings. The committee decided to paint the school red with white trim and by 1984 it lived up to its name.
Old desks were installed and stored furnishings moved in. Blackboards to replace those that had been stolen were installed and a "potbellied" stove was located. Boxes of old books and memorabilia have been unpacked and organized.
The cloak rooms have been set up to display memorabilia from the early high schools before centralization. The school has been freshly painted and many carpentry jobs completed by a special volunteer this summer.
The final project, the bell tower, is under construction and will be an added attraction. It will contain the bell which was removed from the Winnie District School, Town of Glen, and given to the school by John H. Starin in 1983.
In 1985 we dedicate this Little Red Schoolhouse Museum to Millard Crane, who had a dream. Excerpted from the Dedication of The Little Red School House � 1997 Fonda-Fultonville Central School (Fonda, N.Y.)

I don't post on here that much, but you ladies are a fun bunch, so I figure I'll get a little more active.
Anyways, my ILs are pretty into decorating for Christmas. Like, really into it. They're the people with a whole city's worth of lights in their front yard, and a blow up Santa with his sleigh and reindeer. Whatever, it's Christmas, I get it (sort of).
So this is what is weird to me. They do that for EVERY holiday. Even the not-really-a-holiday holidays. We were just over there the other day, and they have their whole house decked out for Valentine's Day. I didn't even know you could buy all that stuff for V-Day. They've hung banners, and put all their family photos into heart-themed frames. I think it's bizarre. And they do this for every holiday. Well, except St. Patty's. Because they're hardcore Southern Baptist, and they don't likes them Catholic Irish (btw I'm as Irish as they come on my mom's side, though not Catholic. Imagine how THAT went down when we showed up in St. Patty's day gear last year.).
So please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that is weird as all heck.
That is weird. I get Christmas, and even Halloween, but I would think a few small decorations for V-Day, and the other holidays.
I am really only good about decorating for Christmas, but I'm going to try to get better at decorating a little bit on other holidays now that I have a baby.
It's strange...there's a house I used to drive by regularly that did the same thing - every holiday, including St Patty's Day, was decked out beyond crazy. I think the guy used to actually make some of the decorations in his workshop! And at Christmas time they even scheduled open house tours...no I never stopped to take a closer look!

A Young Woodpecker Takes Flight Thanks to the SFWC
Pileated woodpeckers are one of the most distinct forest birds in North America. As large as crows, with a bold white stripe down their neck and a flaming red crest, their unique look is hard to miss. Like all woodpeckers, they hunt for food by drilling holes in tree trunks and need to be very adept at flying between, climbing and gripping onto trees. So when a young pileated woodpecker was brought into the South Florida Wildlife Center with broken tail feathers and nails, we were concerned about his ability to feed and fend for himself.

Double-crested Cormorant Saved from Fish Hook Injury at SFWC
Fishing is a popular pastime in South Florida, but many people who fish don't realize their bait may be enticing to more than just the fish. It is a common occurrence for birds to go after a baited hook thinking it is easy food, resulting in them either swallowing the hook or getting injured or tangled up in the hook and line, and many of these birds end up at the South Florida Wildlife Center.

Land bridges can be created by marine regression, in which sea levels fall, exposing shallow, previously submerged sections of continental shelf; or when new land is created by plate tectonics; or occasionally when the sea floor rises due to post-glacial rebound after an ice age.

comics journalism Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
SF Weekly turns this week's issue into a comic
[Editor's note: Every Sunday, Robot 6 contributors discuss "The best in comics from the last seven days" — from news and announcements to a great comic that came out to something cool creators or fans have done.]
Last week readers of SF Weekly, San Francisco's weekly alternative newspaper, received a special treat — the entire issue, including the features, columns, news stories, letters and more — were transformed into comics.
The writers for the paper teamed up with artists from the California College of the Arts, under the guidance of the paper's editor, Brandon R. Reynolds, and special guest co-editor Matt Silady, chair of the California College of the Arts' MFA in Comics Program and creator of the Eisner-nominated The Homeless Channel. The goal was to take the writers and artists out of their comfort zones, to get them thinking more like their counterparts and to find new ways to tell stories — within the boundaries of a regular issue.
Silady told me, "This very special issue has been in the works for quite some time, and we're thrilled it is hitting SF Weekly newsstands and the web this week."
Comics A.M. | Former Archie Comics artist Janice Valleau dies
Passings | Artist Janice Valleau Winkelman, creator of the detective Toni Gayle, passed away on Dec. 8 at age 90. Winkleman, who drew under her maiden name Janice Valleau, had polio as a child and wore a brace through school. Her first work was published in Smash Comics in 1939, when she was 16. She studied at the Phoenix Art Institute and moved to New York, where she found steady work as a penciler and inker for Archie Comics and Quality Comics. She left the industry during the anti-comic crusades of the 1950; author David Hajdu profiled her in the prologue to his chronicle of those times, The Ten Cent Plague. According to the Grand Comics Database, one of her stories was reprinted as recently as last April, in Archie Double Digest #238. [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]
Comics A.M. | 'Kuroko's Basketball' returns to shelves
Retailing | The rental chain Tsutaya and the bookstore chain Yurindo have returned Kuroko's Basketball books and DVDs to their shelves after "X-Day," Nov. 4, passed without incident. Someone has sent hundreds of threatening letters to convention sites, bookstores, the media and Sophia University (the alma mater of Kuroko's Basketball creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki), over the past year, and the most recent batch of letters said that "X-Day will be on the final day of the [Sophia University] school festival." Meanwhile, police are checking security cameras near all the mailboxes in the districts from which the letters were mailed, looking for suspicious people. [Anime News Network]
Comics | Brian Steinberg looks at Archie Comics' most radical move yet: the relatively adult Afterlife with Archie, which literally turned America's most iconic teenagers into zombies. Steinberg talks to Archie CEO Jon Goldwater, writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, artist Francesco Francavilla and others about the significance of this comic, which sold almost 65,000 copies to the direct market. [Variety]
Comics A.M. | Online effort raises $5,000 for struggling store
Retailing | Fans of the Fall River, Massachusetts, retailer StillPoint Comics, Cards & Games kicked in $5,000 in a GoFundMe campaign to keep the store in business. The shop, which opened in 1997, had to close for 10 days last month after its power was shut off. [The Herald News]

Comics journalism: Shedding new light on veterans' 'moral injury'
Check out the Boston public radio website WBUR for a powerful example of comics journalism: Invisible Injury: Beyond PTSD explores the emotional consequences of the decisions that soldiers make during wartime — decisions that often go against their own moral code.
"Moral injury" is something different from post-traumatic stress disorder. As the introduction explains, "Post-traumatic stress disorder is triggered by a terrible event — in combat, that's often something that has happened to you. But what about a terrible event that has happened because of you?" The comic explores that question through a combination of conversations with veterans, flashbacks to actual events, and concise summaries of research on the topic. The visual medium really brings it to life, not just in the depiction of events but also in illustrating more abstract ideas, such as the way soldiers may become gradually alienated from the rest of the world in the course of war.
Preview | Leela Corman draws a bellydancer's life
Symbolia is a digital magazine that blends comics and journalism, using the medium as a way to tell true stories. The format is particularly powerful on the Symbolia iPad and Kindle Fire apps, which bring in sound and other interactive features to enhance the storytelling, but it also has a PDF version that will work on any computer or tablet, albeit without the special features.
The latest issue, "Heroines," features five first-person narratives from women around the world. All are powerful — the struggles of a Dalit (low-caste) woman in Nepal, the testimony of two women who were guards at Guantanamo — but the one that caught my eye was "Luna of Cairo," the story of an American woman who works as a bellydancer on a tourist boat on the Nile.
Illustrated by Leela Corman (Unterzakhn), "Luna of Cairo" offers an inside look not only at the life of a bellydancer but also at the life of a foreigner in Egypt. The excerpt below focuses on the casual sexism that Luna and the other women of Egypt encounter every day — and its corrosive effects.
To read the rest of Luna's story and meet other heroines, check out this month's issue; Symbolia is reasonably priced at $2.99 per issue or $11.99 for a six-issue subscription.
Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá make comics about Brazil protests
What do you when the world around you is going crazy? If you're a creator, you create.
Brazil has been in turmoil over the past week after demonstrations over a rise in transit fares mushroomed into a series of protests throughout the country about a broader range of issues. Comics creators, and brothers, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá saw their home city of São Paolo turn into "a war zone" last week after the police reacted with extreme violence to what began as a peaceful demonstration. So they responded the way creative people do, by making comics about the demonstrations. Both are powerful statements presented in different ways; Moon simply draws himself giving his take on the protests, while Bá draws scenes of his beloved city and of the police shooting at the protestors. See their comics in full on their website.
Both brothers pledged to be at yesterday's demonstration. "On June 17, I will go to the streets to tell my story and to defend the right of other people to tell theirs," Bá says at the end of his comic. Watch their blog for more updates.
D+Q to publish Sarah Glidden's Rolling Blackouts
It's going to take a while to get to us, but it looks like it will be worth the wait: Drawn and Quarterly announced it will publish Sarah Glidden's next graphic novel Rolling Blackouts.
Glidden's first book, How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less, received quite a bit of favorable attention when it came out in 2010, and since then she has burnished her career with a number of short journalistic comics at Cartoon Movement and other sites; check out The Waiting Room, about Iraqi refugees, and State of Palestine, both of which are short but thought-provoking.
Here are the details on Rolling Blackouts:
Comics A.M. | Amazing Spider-Man #700 racks up $1.6 million
Publishing | The Amazing Spider-Man #700 led the pack in the December comics numbers with 200,000 copies selling to comics shops, and with a cover price if $7.99, it racked up a cool $1.6 million in sales. Avengers #1 sold 186,000 copies but at a more reasonable price, so the dollars didn't pile up as high for that one. ICv2 also has the December charts for the Top 300 comics and graphic novels in the direct market. John Jackson Miller takes it to the next level with sales estimates for the top 1,000 comics and trades of 2012. [ICv2]
Publishing | At the other end of the scale, Rob Clough talks to Chuck Forsman, the guy behind micropublisher Oily Comics. [The Comics Journal]
Comics A.M. | Tintin in the Congo isn't racist, Belgian court rules
Legal | A Belgian court of appeals has ruled that Tintin in the Congo is not racist and stated that the book has "gentle and candid humour." The ruling came in a case brought in 2007 by Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo, an immigrant from the Congo, and the Belgian Council of Black Associations. Although Herge himself expressed regret in later life for the book, which includes numerous depictions of black characters as stupid and inferior, the court did not support the plaintiffs' claim that "The negative stereotypes portrayed in this book are still read by a significant number of children. They have an impact on their behaviour." [Sky News]
Comics A.M. | Tezuka Productions and Diamond ink distribution deal
Manga | Tezuka Productions, which handles the works of Osamu Tezuka, has signed a deal for Diamond Comic Distributors to distribute its comics, toys, T-shirts and other products outside of Japan. [Previews World]
Comics | Sean Howe, author of Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, discusses the clash between the creative drive and the corporate interest, as it played out at the House of Ideas: "There's certainly a cautionary tale in there, but I think it's inevitable — because Marvel Comics is a really rich example of the way that pop culture works and that the Marvel story really gets to the way that art and commerce are always going to be battling it out in pop culture. If you're trying to have mass appeal and artistic expression at the same time, there are going to be compromises. And when you bring powerful corporate interests into the equation, it's pretty predictable what will happen." [The Phoenix]
Comics A.M. | Viz's digital strategy; keeping Fantastic Four fresh
Digital comics | I talked to Viz Media Executive Vice President Alvin Lu and the head of Viz Labs, Gagan Singh, about the company's digital strategy, which includes the recent announcement that their digital magazine Shonen Jump Alpha will publish manga chapters simultaneously with Japan; the idea, Lu explains is to create the same sort of weekly ritual that superhero comics readers have, and to use the digital releases to build a community both online and in the real world. [Good E-Reader]
Creators | Fantastic Four was the first Marvel Universe comic, so it has been around for a while, but writer Matt Fraction is doing his best to keep it fresh: "Anything you can do to run contrary-wise to expectation to keep people guessing and wondering and entertained and surprised, you should do because otherwise people are going to dismiss the book as 'Been there, read that.'" [USA Today]
Comics A.M. | Zapiro lawsuit dropped; Jose Luis Ferrer passes away
Legal | South African President Jacob Zuma has formally withdrawn his defamation lawsuit against cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro (who goes by the pen name Zapiro) and will pay a portion of his court costs as well. Zuma dropped part of the case last week, a claim of 4 million rand for "impairment of dignity." A spokesman for Zuma said the president had more important things on his mind and didn't want to set a precedent that "may have the effect of limiting the public exercise of free speech." [The Citizen]
Passings | The Catalan artist Jose Luis Ferrer, who signed himself simply "Ferrer," died Monday of a brain tumor. Ferrer's work appeared in 2000AD, Starlord and other British comics, but he was an international artist with work published in Germany, France, Sweden and the United States as well. [Down the Tubes]
Comics A.M. | Could NYCC become 'the comic convention'?
Conventions | Jason Knize makes a case for New York Comic Con potentially becoming "the Comic Con" next year, surpassing Comic-Con International as the completion of renovations on the Jacob Javits Center frees up an additional 90,000 square feet of space. However, he notes that space and attendance — NYCC's 116,000 this year versus CCI's 130,000 or so — certainly aren't the only determining factors. [Panels on Pages]
Comics | Don MacPherson, who's a newspaper reporter as well as a comics blogger, ponders Clark Kent's departure from The Daily Planet in this week's Superman #13: "In the scene in which Clark issues his ideological proclamation, Perry White retorts, 'Go easy on us mortals, Clark. Times are changing and print is a dying medium.' The challenges the Planet faces in the story reflect not only real-world ones in the newspaper industry, but also those faced by DC Comics itself as it struggles to stave off ebbing readership and find a way to foster an audience for online comics. Digital-publishing initiatives in the world of comics aside, I feel it important to argue Perry is wrong. Print isn't a dying medium. What's dying are past business models." [Eye on Comics]
Comics A.M. | JManga launches unlimited-access site
Digital comics | The Japanese web portal JManga today launched an unlimited-access site JManga7, although it won't be putting any actual content on it until October. Unlike JManga, which sells digital manga one volume at a time, JManga7 operates on an "all-you-can-eat" model, with single chapters of a variety of titles available for free, and a wider selection with a paid subscription. The site will be updated daily and will include a mix of genres, with some new content that is being published close to its Japanese release date as well as some older series. The idea is for readers to check out the manga at JManga7 and ultimately buy them for keeps at JManga. To encourage readers to pre-register, JManga is raffling off seven Nexus 7 tablets and seven free subscriptions. Plans for the site were unveiled last month at Comic-Con International in an exclusive interview with Comic Book Resources. [JManga]

Children's Place Spikes as Guidance Is Raised
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Children's Place (PLCE) spiked more than 9% early Thursday after the children's apparel retailer raised its fiscal-year guidance despite disappointing earnings.
Children's Place said net income fell 22% in the 13-week quarter to $19.3 million, or 83 cents a share. Net sales dropped 3.5% to $423.2 million. Comparable-retail sales declined 5.5%, the company said.
Analysts expected Children's Place to earn 61 cents a share on revenue of $416.6 million.
Gross profit fell 8.6% to $163.3 million, due to the "deleveraging of fixed expenses on negative comparable retail sales and higher supply chain costs as the company invested in its sourcing capabilities."Still the company, which closed the quarter with 1,111 stores, was able to pull off the earnings beat as a result of its expense management. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 2.7% to $119 million during the quarter. Adjusted SG&A declined 0.9% to $118.5 million, the retailer said. Shares of the Secaucus, N.J.-based company were up as much as 9.4% shortly after the markets opened. The stock retreated somewhat but was still rising 4% to $53.52 at last check. Also see: Abercrombie Forced To Apologize "After a difficult start to the quarter, April sales improved significantly with the return of more seasonable weather. Our expenses throughout the quarter were well-controlled. We exceeded our earnings forecast for the first quarter and we are raising guidance for the year to reflect these improved results," President and CEO Jane Elfers said. "Customer response to our summer line has been positive, and we are well-positioned in key categories for back-to-school and holiday selling." Also see: Apax Partners Retreads Rue21 Amid Retail Buyout Boom Children's Place raised its full-year earnings guidance and now projects fiscal 2013 adjusted earnings per share between $3.05 and $3.20, with flat to slightly negative comparable-store sales. The company had previously expected full-year earnings between $2.90 and $3.10 a share, with "negative low-single digit comparable retail sales."

It has been forever. Seriously forever, you would think I was majorly distracted or busy or something.
Like I got married. Oh wait, I did.
And I started a new blog. I'm not one of those people who starts new blogs willy-nilly. I take pride in my cheesy updates. But a place dedicated to what me and the man are up to sounded kind of appealing.
So here it is: Hatch Happenings. A few days old.
At this point I'm not one hundred percent sure what I'm going to be doing with this blog. Still posting, but less? Or should I just send you all to the new blog? Hmm. Only time will tell, but for now if you want to follow me over there that's great!
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
So I stink at posting regularly (sorryboutthat) and I have been posting a lot of videos which are basically cop outs, however, this video is pure gold.
Especially if you have met my father. There should basically be a warning label on this video that says, "proceed with caution, may cause pant wetting from extreme laughter."

As St. Albans is only 22 miles (35 km) from central London, it's a great option for a quick getaway. It also has thriving cultural life, along with beautiful scenery and rich historical past.
Abbey Gateway was built in 1365 and is the last building that remains of the Abbey in St. Albans. In the past, it was used as a prison for a while. For over 140 years, it has been part of St Albans School.
The Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Albans is the second longest cathedral in UK. Most of its architecture dates from Norman times and its tower has bricks from the Roman ruins of Verulamium. It also has a shrine that is dedicated to St Alban who was Britain's first Christian martyr.
The Clock Tower used to be one of the entrances to the medieval Abbey and is also the site of an Eleanor cross. Moreover, the Clock Tower is the only medieval one of its kind in the country and has five floors displaying its varied historical past.
The Verulamium Museum reproduces everyday Roman life in Britain through recreated rooms, discovery areas and video presentations and it also displays some great mosaics and wall plasters. The museum hosts many activities one of which is a scheduled invasion by Roman soldiers demonstrating their military tactics and equipment.
The Sopwell Nunnery is a ruin from a Tudor mansion built in the 16th century. The house was built on top of a medieval nunnery that was built in 1140. Along with a historical atmosphere, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery around the ruin.
Suggestions for lunch or dinner:
- If you are a fan of fish and grill, try this stylish restaurant, winner of Best Restaurant in St Albans: Lussmanss
- Another place that offers delicious food and excellent service is Darcy's
- St Alban's Market dates from 1553 and is the site of many different products and stores. Explore this famous location for fish, herbs and other interesting and diverse goods

Junior Member
can't choose between these two. Talon looks cool and has a good skill set but darius looks good too but would make me look like a noob using a champ with op skills. Please help. both seem like pretty good champs.
Judas Priest
Senior Member
Which one do you find more fun to play? I don't know if it helps in your decision, but I'm much more afraid of facing Darius as an enemy than Talon.
i would go for darius becuase talon is more of a gimicky mid champ that cant do anything else as efficiently as other champs.
If Darius is indeed OP, what would be the problem?
Talon is awesome. Also, he can play more roles than darius. He does take more skill in positioning to play, much more.
Darius: Up close and personal bruiser. Everyone knows who you are and what you do.
Talon: In and out assassin. You don't want people to know where you are and want to create "WTF?" moments at all times.
To put it as simply as possible
Darius: I want to win games and steal a bunch of kills and but boring
Talon: I want to have fun and burst people down fast
