Note to Subdivisions (a) and (b).
1. This rule introduces an addition to existing law. "Lawyers not thoroughly familiar with Federal practice are somewhat astounded to learn that they may not move for a change of venue, even if they are able to demonstrate that public feeling in the vicinity of the crime may render impossible a fair and impartial trial. This seems to be a defect in the federal law, which the proposed rules would cure." Homer Cummings, 29 A.B.A.Jour. 655; Medalie, 4 Lawyers Guild R. (3)1, 5.
2. The rule provides for two kinds of motions that may be made by the defendant for a change of venue. The first is a motion on the ground that so great a prejudice exists against the defendant that he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial in the district or division where the case is pending. Express provisions to a similar effect are found in many State statutes. See, e.g., Ala. Code (1940), Title 15, sec. 267; Cal.Pen.Code (Deering, 1941), sec. 1033; Conn.Gen.Stat. (1930), sec. 6445; Mass.Gen.Laws (1932) c. 277, sec. 51 (in capital cases); N.Y. Code of Criminal Procedure, sec. 344. The second is a motion for a change of venue in cases involving an offense alleged to have been committed in more than one district or division. In such cases the court, on defendant's motion, will be authorized to transfer the case to another district or division in which the commission of the offense is charged, if the court is satisfied that it is in the interest of justice to do so. The effect of this provision would be to modify the existing practice under which in such cases the Government has the final choice of the jurisdiction where the prosecution should be conducted. The matter will now be left in the discretion of the court.
3. The rule provides for a change of venue only on defendant's motion and does not extend the same right to the prosecution, since the defendant has a constitutional right to a trial in the district where the offense was committed. Constitution of the United States, Article III, Sec. 2, Par. 3; Amendment VI. By making a motion for a change of venue, however, the defendant waives this constitutional right.
4. This rule is in addition to and does not supersede existing statutes enabling a party to secure a change of judge on the ground of personal bias or prejudice, 28 U.S.C. 25 (now 144); or enabling the defendant to secure a change of venue as of right in certain cases involving offenses committed in more than one district, 18 U.S.C. 338a(d) (now 876, 3239) (Mailing threatening communications); Id. sec. 403d(d) (now 875, 3239) (Threatening communications in interstate commerce).
Note to Subdivision (c). Cf. 28 U.S.C. 114 (now 1393, 1441) and Rule 20, supra.
The language of Rule 21 has been amended as part of the general restyling of the Criminal Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only.
Amended Rule 21(d) consists of what was formerly Rule 22. The Committee believed that the substance of Rule 22, which addressed the issue of the timing of motions to transfer, was more appropriate for inclusion in Rule 21.
The amendments are technical. No substantive change is intended.
Subdivision (a). - All references to divisions are eliminated in accordance with the amendment to Rule 18 eliminating division venue. The defendant is given the right to a transfer only when he can show that he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial at any place fixed by law for holding court in the district. Transfers within the district to avoid prejudice will be within the power of the judge to fix the place of trial as provided in the amendments to Rule 18. It is also made clear that on a motion to transfer under this subdivision the court may select the district to which the transfer may be made. Cf. United States v. Parr, 17 F.R.D. 512, 519 (S.D.Tex. (1955); Parr v. United States, 351 U.S. 513 (1956).
Subdivision (b). - The original rule limited change of venue for reasons other than prejudice in the district to those cases where venue existed in more than one district. Upon occasion, however, convenience of the parties and witnesses and the interest of justice would best be served by trial in a district in which no part of the offense was committed. See, e.g., Travis v. United States, 364 U.S. 631 (1961), holding that the only venue of a charge of making or filing a false non-Communist affidavit required by Sec. 9(h) of the National Labor Relations Act is in Washington, D.C. even though all the relevant witnesses may be located at the place where the affidavit was executed and mailed. See also Barber, Venue in Federal Criminal Cases: A Plea for Return to Principle, 42 Tex.L.Rev. 39 (1963); Wright, Proposed Changes in Federal Civil, Criminal and Appellate Procedure, 35 F.R.D. 317, 329 (1964). The amendment permits a transfer in any case on motion of the defendant on a showing that it would be for the convenience of parties and witnesses, and in the interest of justice. Cf. 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1404(a), stating a similar standard for civil cases. See also Platt v. Minnesota Min. & Mfg. Co., 376 U.S.C. 240 (1964). Here, as in subdivision (a), the court may select the district to which the transfer is to be made. The amendment also makes it clear that the court may transfer all or part of the offenses charged in a multi-count indictment or information. Cf. United States v. Choate, 276 F.2d 724 (5th Cir. 1960). References to divisions are eliminated in accordance with the amendment to Rule 18.
Subdivision (c). - The reference to division is eliminated in accordance with the amendment to Rule 18.

Theoretical Perspectives in Sociology:
Conflict Theory
Functionalism and Conflict Theory
When looking at the question of values we looked a little a the functionalist view of values and their general approach to society. Functionalist theory (or structural functionalism) was a very popular perspective during the 1950 and 1960's.
It is also sometimes also called the consensus perspective. As we learned in the unit on values, many people believe that common values provide the basis for society. This agreement or consensus on the basic values is how it got this name.
Whereas functional analysis looks at a society and sees a unit that resembles an organism with all the parts functioning for the good of the whole; conflict theorists see a system made up of groups and individuals who are pursuing their own interests.
Functionalists see social order as growing our of common values and a belief that the society and it's norms are legitimate and benefit us all.
Conflict theorists on the other hand, see competing groups and believe that order is based on coercion and force. So to understand a society they believe that power is the most important variable to consider.
Power as the Key Variable
If you want to understand a society, conflict theory argues, find out who has power and everything else will become clear. All that you need to do is ask what are the interests of the people with power and you will find social arrangements that reflect that power and those interests. Note: when you hear conflict theory think power not fighting and disagreement.
Take slavery for example. Can you really imagine a slave system based on consensus. A system in which the slaves agree that their position is legitimate and are happy to perform their role for the good of the whole.
One may find individual slaves who represent the beliefs listed above but conflict theorists argue, slavery is a system that requires the use of force to maintain the system, recapture runaway slaves, beat them, hang them, etc., etc.
Most of the time in societies, the difference in power is not as extreme as in a slave system, so the social order rests on less extreme measures of coercion.
We have labor unions in a power struggle with management, a conflict which in its early days was violent. Over time the recognition of the rights of workers to form unions and collective bargaining emerged as a way to nonviolently manage this power struggle. However, behind this bargaining is always the possibility of a strike by the workers or a lockout by the owners.
Power struggles often involve more than one group. For example you may see political interest groups trying to form coalitions to get enough power to change laws to make them reflect their interests. Mothers Against Drunk drivers for example may try to get support from churches and insurance companies to change the laws governing drunk driving.
While functionalism often gives us a picture of a society that is relatively static, it expects changes in technology or the environment to be the major sources of change. By contrast in the view of conflict theory society is a dynamic changing system with change resulting from shifting balances of power.
For example, not long ago coal companies who owned underground mines in the Eastern parts of the U.S. opened up huge mechanized open pit mines in the West. The mines in the West used huge machines, had a very small labor force, and were non-union.
This decreased the power of the underground miners in the East because when they struck the companies could keep supplying their customers from the Western mines. The result was that in the end, the unions had to settle for contracts in which they lost benefits.
These same principles can be used to understand the relationships between men and women.
As women gained the possibility of economic independence over the last generation, they were able make major strides toward equality in other areas of their lives as well. When the Cuban revolution encouraged women to join the work force and guaranteed them the basic necessities of life -- the divorce rate in Cuba went to record highs. The argument is that with economic power women felt they no longer had to stay in bad relationships.
While Marx is one of the most obvious examples of a conflict theorist there are others in the history of sociology as well. Max Weber, Georg Simmel, C. W. Mills, and Ralf Darendorf are other examples of conflict theorists.
I once heard a Catholic theologian from Peru say, "You don't have to be a Marxist to realize that in my country there is a small ruling class that makes decisions that are in its own best interests."
But let's bring the question down our situation right here in an educational institution.
Could we run community colleges without grades and transcripts?
Would you study just as hard if there were no grades given?
To what extent take classes and do the assignments because you believe the requirements are legitimate or because you have to do them to get a degree?
For in reality the transcript with its power over your future career choices and earnings is the basis of power in the relationship between the community college and its students.
Or can we explain grades as having the function of providing the necessary incentive to help each reach a higher level of learning? And thus is good for the whole system not just for the social group of which we are a part.
Or both?
I have written this module, not as a comprehensive overview of conflict theory but as an introduction to help you as you read further examples of the application of conflict theory in this class.
I would be happy also to respond to questions or comments you have.
My own view is that both of these perspectives are useful and that contrary to the view of our textbook author we don't have to choose one theory or the other.
A theory is valuable to the degree to which it helps us understand a particular situation.
The questions to ask of a theory are:
Does the theory help us notice and things we might otherwise overlook ?
Does the theory help us see relationships between parts of the system that are hidden?
Does the theory describe how the parts of a system are linked together?
Does the theory provide a guide for research into some aspect of society?
Does the theory give us a good explanation which can be supported with evidence?
These are the features of theoretical perspectives which make them valuable.
My answer to the questions listed above is yes for each of the basic theoretical perspectives of functionalism and conflict theory.
Later on when we look at the social scientific view the family and romantic love; I will try to make the case for symbolic interaction as well.

Linux Floppy Router
LFR v2.0 README
Copyright (c) 1997-2002 Len Padilla
Based on the work of many others, see THANKS
LFR is distributed under the GNU Public License (GPL). See the COPYING
file for license information. Download it.
(md5sum 859e91e840afe26b01b98469219e20a4)
LFR is a Linux/Netfilter based firewall/router on a single floppy disk.
Think of it as a micro Linux distribution with a purpose. With LFR you
can take that old 486 with 4 MB of RAM that you have in the closet and
put it to good use. With a pair of cheap etherenet adapters (NE2000,
3Com 3C9** or Intel E100) you can safely connect a local area network
to the internet.
See INSTALL for instructions.
LFR has been tested extensively under Linux [2.1.?-2.4.20] using Slackware
and Debian distributions [2.? - 8.0, 2.2 - 3.1 ] to build.
LFR is:
root.image : a minix file system image containing the LFR.
bzImage : a compressed Linux kernel (x86) compiled for ethernet
interfaces (NE2000, 3C9**, EE100), IP firewall, IP NAT.
Future releases may contain other drivers as kernel modules.
lfr.pl : a perl script to create a LinuxFloppyRouter.
Required tools/programs:
Linux (>2.0) with loopback device (filesystem in-a-file),
minix filesystem support (kernel or module)
fileutils (gzip,gunzip,cat,fsck.minix,dd,mount,rdev)
Network configuration under LFR:
The LFR has its internal ethernet interface, eth0, set to
192.168.0.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. This means that in
its default configuration you can connect to it up to 253 machines
(using addresses 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254).
The external interface, eth1, uses DHCP to obtain an IP address
and default gateway from a cable modem, DSL modem or similar.
If there is no DHCP server on your network, manual configuration
of the init files will be required.
LFR contains DHCP and DNS servers. Internal network workstations
will be assigned a dynamic IP address, from 192.168.0.20 -
192.168.0.254. The 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.19 address range
is left free for static IP devices (printers, fileservers,
etc). The LFR server being the default gateway and dns server.
The LFR firewall permits no incoming connections. It uses the
stateful packet inspection of the Linux 2.4 netfilter to allow
the return connections for established sessions. All outgoing
connections are source NAT'd to the external interface's IP
address. Protection against IP spoofing is provided at the
kernel level.

Introduction Among the most pressing goals of conservation biology is the restoration of aquatic biodiversity amidst rapid and pervasive human impacts on aquatic resources (Etnier, 1997; Richter et al., 1997; Williams, Wood & Dombeck, 1997). Degradation of aquatic systems through habitat loss, introduction of non-natives, and pollution has contributed to high endangerment and extinction rates among aquatic species (Miller, Williams & Williams, 1989; Williams et al., 1989, 1993; Etnier, 1997), three to eight times the rates for terrestrial birds and mammals (Master, 1990). To reverse declines and restore imperiled populations, managers must understand habitat requirements throughout life histories as well as ecosystem processes that maintain these habitats (Schlosser & Angermeier, 1995; Hartman, Scrivener & Miles, 1996; Labbe & Fausch, 2000; Roni et al., 2002).

Prior to 2006, California law did not allow registered domestic partners to transfer property between each other without having its value reassessed, which can often result in increased tax liability. The Fair and Equal Taxation for Surviving Partners Act allows certain domestic partners to seek a reduction in their property taxes if those taxes were unfairly increased prior to the availability of comprehensive domestic partnership protections in California.

The whole nation thought he was a crazy old man to undertake an almost impossible feat. Most feared that he would die trying. But this humble old man proved all the critics wrong.
Cliff Young, at 61 years of age, participated in 1983′s Sydney to Melbourne race. Considered to be the world's toughest race, with the distance of 875 kilometers and took at least 6 to 7 days to finish, Cliff Young entered the race against world-class athletes. Read how he achieved the unthinkable and inspires the whole nation.
The Beginning
Every year, Australia hosts an 875-kilometer endurance racing from Sydney to Melbourne – considered to be the world's longest and toughest ultra-marathon. It's a long, tough race that takes a week and normally participated by world-class athletes who train specially for the event. Backed by big names in sports like Nike, these athletes are mostly less than 30 years old men and women equipped with the most expensive sponsored training outfits and shoes.
In 1983, these top class runners were in for a surprise. On the day of the race, a guy named Cliff Young showed up. At first, no one cared about him since everybody thought he was there to watch the event. After all, he was 61 years old, showed up in overalls and galoshes over his work boots.
As Cliff walked up to the table to take his number, it became obvious to everybody he was going to run. He was going to join a group of 150 world-class athletes and run! During that time, these runners don't even know another surprising fact – his only trainer was his 81-year-old mother,
Neville Wran.
Everybody thought that it was a crazy publicity stunt. But the press was curious, so as he took his number 64 and moved into the pack of runners in their special, expensive racing outfit, the camera focused on him and reporters started to ask:
"Who are you and what are you doing?"
"I'm Cliff Young. I'm from a large ranch where we run sheep outside of Melbourne."
They said, "You're really going to run in this race?"
"Yeah," Cliff nodded.
"Got any backers?"
"Then you can't run."
"Yeah I can." Cliff said. "See, I grew up on a farm where we couldn't afford horses or four wheel drives, and the whole time I was growing up– until about four years ago when we finally made some money and got a four wheeler– whenever the storms would roll in, I'd have to go out and round up the sheep. We had 2,000 head, and we have 2,000 acres. Sometimes I would have to run those sheep for two or three days. It took a long time, but I'd catch them. I believe I can run this race; it's only two more days. Five days. I've run sheep for three."
When the marathon started, the pros left Cliff behind in his galoshes. The crowds smiled because he didn't even run correctly. Instead of running, he appeared to run leisurely, shuffling like an amateur.
Now, the 61-year-old potato farmer from Beech Forest with no teeth had started the ultra-tough race with world-class athletes. All over Australia, people who watched the live telecast kept on praying that someone would stop this crazy old man from running because everyone believed he'll die even before even getting halfway across Sydney.
Turtle vs rabbits
Every professional athletes knew for certain that it took about 7 days to finish this race, and that in order to compete, you would need to run 18 hours and sleep 6 hours. The thing is, old Cliff Young did not know that!
When the morning news of the race was aired, people were in for another big surprise. Cliff was still in the race and had jogged all night down to a city called Mittagong.
Apparently, Cliff did not stop after the first day. Although he was still far behind the world-class athletes, he kept on running. He even had the time to wave to spectators who watched the event by the highways.
When he got to a town called Albury he was asked about his tactics for the rest of the race. He said he would run through to the finish, and he did.
He kept running. Every night he got just a little bit closer to the leading pack. By the last night, he passed all of the world-class athletes. By the last day, he was way in front of them. Not only did he run the Melbourne to Sydney race at age 61, without dying; he won first place, breaking the race record by 9 hours and became a national hero! The nation fell in love with the 61-year-old potato farmer who came out of nowhere to defeat the world's best long distance runners.
He finished the 875-kilometre race in 5 days, 15 hours and 4 minutes. Not knowing that he was supposed to sleep during the race, he said when running throughout the race, he imagined that he was chasing sheep and trying to outrun a storm.
When Cliff was awarded the first prize of $10,000, he said he did not know there was a prize and insisted that he had not entered for the money. He said, "There're five other runners still out there doing it tougher than me," and he gave them $2,000 each. He did not keep a single cent for himself. That act endeared him to all of Australia. Cliff was a humble, average man, who undertook an extraordinary feat and became a national sensation.
The Inspirational Run Continues
In the following year, Cliff Young entered the same race and won the 7 th place. During the race, his hip popped out of the joint socket, his knee played up and he endured shin splints. But those didn't deter him from finishing the race. When he was announced as the winner for most courageous runner and presented with a Mitsubishi Colt, he said, "I didn't do it near as tough as old Bob McIlwaine. Here, Bob, you have the car," and gave the keys to him.
It was said that Cliff Young never kept a single prize. People gave him watches, because he never had one. He would thank them because he did not want to hurt their feelings, but will then give it away to the first child he saw. He did not understand why he would need a watch because, he said, he knew when it was daylight, when it was dark, and when he was hungry.
Cliff came to prominence again in 1997, aged 76, when he attempted to become the oldest man to run around Australia and raise money for homeless children. He managed to completed 6,520km of the 16,000km run before he had to pull out after his only permanent crew member became ill.
His love for running never diminished but in year 2000, after collapsing in his Gellibrand home a week after completing 921 kilometers of a 1600-kilometre race, his lose his strength for running. The mild stroke ended his heroic running days.
After the long illness, Cliff Young, the running legend passed away on 2 nd November 2003. He was 81.
Current Race
The "Young-shuffle" has been adopted by ultra-marathon runners because it is considered more aerodynamic and expends less energy. At least 3 winners of the Sydney to Melbourne race have been known to use the 'Young-shuffle' to win the race.
Now, for Sydney to Melbourne race, almost nobody sleeps. To win that race, you have to run like Cliff Young did, you have to run all night as well as all day.

What struck me — what brought a tear to my eye — is why a potato farmer spent so much time chasing sheep.

Sarcasm is comical, skepticism is amusing, but when you combine them, hilarious!

I became teary as I was reading this story and watched some videos online. People have proved again and again that wonderful things do happen when you are committed.

Wow Cliff you are an inspiration – I'd much rather be a turtle than a hare – you get to enjoy the scenery as well as achieve success. As a single parent people often presume I can't achieve my dreams to be happy and successful. I may go a bit slower, just like Cliff but I often achieve success before those with less obstacles. Just like Cliff I also believe in myself and concentrate on making slow, steady progress and concentrating on all the reasons why I can, rather than can't achieve something.
This story is definately going on my blog.

Quite something….we should learn a valuable lesson from this story.
Do note that there should have been a Full Stop at mother A NEW sentence starts at Neville Wran. See below for that paragraph of which i speak.
As Cliff walked up to the table to take his number, it became obvious to everybody he was going to run. He was going to join a group of 150 world-class athletes and run! During that time, these runners don't even know another surprising fact – his only trainer was his 81-year-old mother, Neville Wran).
Click on the following website and See second paragraph, fourth line for this clarification:
Chibwe (November 5th, 2011 at 12:55 pm)
ooooooOH shhhhhhh!!! He was one of those unique and variant men. But I think what really made Cliff special is not only his winning the race but especially that he was a farmer whom people thought wont compete and win.

an online community for Native Instruments Maschine users worldwide...
Have you also been looking for a Way to use Maschine in standalone Mode, while sending individual channels to ProTools at the same Time? Can you say Sidechain Compression one Multibuss Mixing one Time? ;)
1. Preparations:
Files you need:
2. Setting up the Audio Routing:
That's probably the tuffest part about the whole mission...
2.1 Audio Routing in OSX:
2.2 Audio Setup in Maschine
2.3 Configuring ProTools I/O Settings for receiving Audio from Maschine Outputs
In order for Pro Tools to receive Audio from the Maschine Standalone, you have to create 16 Stereo input channels which will receive Audio from the Aggregate device first. In order to do so, you have to fiddle with the I/O Settings of Pro Tools...
If you're lucky, the routing should be OK now… so let's test it!
3. Sending Audio from Maschine to Pro Tools
3.1 In ProTools:
I created 2 different Templates for recording Maschine Outs in Pro Tools, for different Puposes.
A: If you want to use Plugins and Effects on every channel, but just want to record the Stereo Buss (Bounce), then:
B: If you want to use Pro Plugins and Effects on every channel, but want to record every single track, then:

Once again, we are witnessing how the men and women we elected to represent us in Washington, D.C., and run the federal government, our elected senators and House representatives, are unwilling to sit down together and work out a budget compromise for the good of our nation and for us, the same citizens who elected them.
To other nations of the world, our elected officials must look like a group of buffoons. They certainly look that way to me.
In Great Britain, when elected members of Parliament fail to form a government which functions properly, the prime minister may dissolve Parliament and call for new elections. Other European nations are able to take similar actions.
If our elected officials knew they'd be out of a job unless they compromised, we wouldn't have today's standoff. Perhaps it's time for us to amend our Constitution or otherwise make a similar course of action available here in the U.S.?

Women's Retreats:
A time when women can come together and share their journey of being a part of the horse industry… whether it be just owning a horse, competing with one or just an avid trail rider… we share a history!! We unite at the campfires chit-chatting about what would make us feel better about our relationship with our horse. We discuss what would make us feel more like the "COWGIRL" we have always wanted to be. We, as a group, work on getting more control of our horses and our bodies. The focal point of the clinic is for each horse and rider team to gain more confidence and improve their relationship. We practice in the beginning, focusing on the basics.. The bits and pieces people forgot to tell us when we buy the horse…
Horsemanship Clinics:
At every Lyons Horsemanship Clinic, riders will learn the theories behind horse training. They'll walk away feeling that they know more about why horses do the things they do and how we can use this knowledge to develop more willing and happy horses. Brandi believes understanding your horse is a life-long journey. Brandi works to teach you that with knowledge, consistency, and time, you can make your dreams with horses come true. The foundation of the clinic is to really understand how to have control of each body part and to understand how and why you can use each body part to improve your ride.
The horsemanship clinic is a time to take our riding to the next step, where you and your horse can work together breaking down every movement and then piecing it all back together into a beautiful picture. Join us for a good time to learn and grow together while making your dreams come true!
The certification program consists of three levels of training. Each level has six one week sessions.
Level One: is for those who want to become a trainer. You will know how to take a horse from unbroken to one who is loping circles and starting on performance skills. You will know how to solve some problems and have spent some time helping to give lessons to outside students.
Level Two: is for those who want to know more about performance skills and training. Using the same two horses, you will learn how to finish them out and understand the basics of performance training such as reining, dressage, western and English pleasure, cow work and some jumping. Level two is also to learn more about clinics. You will help in more clinics and get a real good understanding on how to put a clinic on and how to teach a great clinic.
Level Three: is for those who want to make a full-time career in training. It's for those who want to know about the advertising and business side to owning a horse training and clinician business. During this level you will perfect all your training skills and start working actual client horses while Brandi helps you establish a great career. She will help you search out sponsorships and establish places to hold clinics. She will help you get your foot in the door at some of the Expo's and help you understand the importance of credibility.
This is a pass and/or fail system and only those that qualify will be allowed to go on to each new level. You will not be considered Certified unless Brandi passes you.

"A member of the PSK overwatches a marketplace"
they look fantastic.
one question have you managed to maintain the fabric of the ski mask/ balaclava or is it a simple black layer ?
Could you tell me guys how to be able to accelerate/decelerate time while in camera mode?
So far I can assign radio keys to accTime but this works only in player mode, not in camera, and once I get in camera mode I can't go back to player.
Although I'm sure you'll still find those professional forum whiners who live to find fault with anything under the sun.
this prolly a quetion for editing and scripting,
you can only make the camera go a little quicker by pressing the "turbo" key and the direction key . turbo default is left shift.
if your tying to accelerate the people you are watching then, the radio will still work whilst in cam mode, simply press 0-0-1 for radio alpha.
if you want to speed camera up in sqs file. then you will need to script it there ,using cam commit and other such beautiful syntaxes
My bad, didn't know I have still acces to radio commands while in camera mode.
I'm happy now

(If I ever release them ) but I definately plan to release the SEK units. I plan to do a sample mission as well (nothing too fancy )
The balaclava already has some fabric in them although I have to rework the face (it's pretty much a placeholder at the moment). The major problem with them is due to the lighting. It appears wet or glowing when the sun shines on it, which looks good on regular faces but not on a balaclava. I tried to edit the hhl_smdi but it didn't have much of an effect (anyone knows how to do it, or what to do about it?)
Also their mouth still remains. It looks a little strange when they're speaking but it's hardly noticable when playing.

An improved storage system for use in refrigerators is disclosed. The system includes a rack which can be supported from a wire or glass shelf in the refrigerator against the refrigerator's wall. The rack includes means for supporting a plurality of containers which could include trays, bottle holders or the like.
1. An improved storage system in which a plurality of trays, each including a receptacle, are configured to be mounted in selected positions adjacent one another on a rack, the improvement comprising:
(a) said rack including (i) a vertically oriented surface, (ii) a plurality of retaining hooks projecting from said vertically oriented surface, each retaining hook having an inner surface, (iii) a plurality of support members projecting from said vertically oriented surface, each support member associated with at least one of said retaining hooks, and (iv) at least one mounting member projecting above said vertically oriented surface and terminating in an inwardly extending top flange, and (v) a biasing member cooperating with said mounting member to hold the rack in a desired position; and
(b) each of said plurality of trays including an attachment member having a first wall projecting outwardly from the receptacle and a second wall projecting upwardly from said first wall so that when said tray is mounted to said rack, said first wall rests on at least one of said support members of said rack and said second wall engages the inner surface of at least one of said retaining hooks of said rack.
2. The improved storage system of claim 1 wherein said biasing member has a top portion which is forked.
3. The improved storage system of claim 1 wherein at least one of said trays is designed to hold a pair of bottles.
4. The improved storage system of claim 1 wherein at least one of said trays can hold a plurality of items.
I. Field of the Invention
The present invention relate to shelving and racks for supporting a variety of articles. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved storage system for use in refrigerators.
II. Description of the Prior Art
Various racks and storage bins have been used in conventional household refrigerators. Such racks and bins are typically supported within the refrigerator in one of two ways. The first way is to attach the rack or bin to the wall or door of the refrigerator using pins or tracks secured to the wall or door. The second technique is simply to have the bin supported on or clipped to a wire refrigerator shelf. Examples of the first technique are shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,469,711 which issued on Sep. 30, 1969 to A. J. Swaneck et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,346,299, which issued on Sep. 13, 1994 to Werkmeister et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 5,375,924 which issued on Dec. 27, 1994 to Pohl et al. Other examples of this first technique are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,365,562 which issued to Webb on Dec. 28, 1992, U.S. Pat. No. 4,936,641 which issued to Bussan et al. on Jun. 26, 1990 and U.S. Pat. No. 2,976,098 which issued on Mar. 21, 1961 to Combs. Examples of the second technique, i.e., trays supported on or clipped to a refrigerator shelf, are shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,103,885 to Whalen, U.S. Pat. No. 2,239,369 to Nauert and U.S. Pat. No. 2,270,884 to Hedlund.
The systems shown in the patents referenced above, have several disadvantages. Shelves or bins mounted by way of the first technique are generally not suitable for installation after the refrigerator has been delivered to the homeowner. The use of such systems generally must be planned during manufacture of the refrigerator. This greatly reduces the flexibility of such systems in meeting the needs of particular users of the refrigerator. While shelves and bins which are mounted by way of the second technique provide greater flexibility, supporting them on a refrigerator shelf can have the effect of severely limiting the remaining shelf space available after the bin is installed.
Efforts to overcome such problems are represented by the Terrel U.S. Pat. No. 5,397,006, which issued on Mar. 14, 1995, and the Johnson et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,323,917, which issued on Jun. 18, 1994. The Terrel patent relates to a system which includes a variety of storage trays having lips designed to engage slots on a mounting plate. This mounting plate is designed to be attached to the wall of a refrigerator by screws or by an adhesive, or by a separate mounting bracket which is not shown in the patent. While the Terrel system does provide added flexibility, the user of the system is still required to drill screw holes or the like into the walls of the refrigerator in order to hold the Terrel storage system in place. Otherwise, an appropriate adhesive must be used to mount the storage tray system to the wall of the refrigerator. In either event, this task is inconvenient for a homeowner and constitutes permanent placement of the rack, again reducing flexibility. The Johnson patent shows a system which solves the requirement for permanent mounting. However, the Johnson system is less flexible in that it discloses a single bin rather than a system which includes a plurality of bins that can be inserted or removed as desired by the homeowner.
There is, therefore, a real need for a rack system for use in a refrigerator which is easily installed and removed, does not require any permanent mounting, is flexible in terms of the nature of the shelving it can accommodate, and is limited in the amount of space which it occupies.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator rack for storing and dispensing a variety of articles.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved refrigerator rack which is of simple construction, economical to manufacture, and easy to install in a refrigerator.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved storage rack which is supported by existing shelving within a conventional refrigerator and is easily removed from the refrigerator.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a storage system which includes a rack and a plurality of trays which can be selectively positioned on and supported by the rack.
These and other objects of the invention shall become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, when read in conjunction with the drawings, and in view of the claims, all of which comprise this specification.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an improved refrigerator rack in combination with two trays attached to the rack for storing and dispensing a variety of articles;
FIG. 2 is a side plan view of the rack shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a front plan view of the rack shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a back plan view of the rack shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the rack shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view of the rack shown in FIG. 1,
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the means for attaching the rack to a solid refrigerator shelf; and
FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the means for attaching the rack to a wire type refrigerator shelf.
A refrigerator system in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention shall now be described in conjunction with the drawings. As shown in the drawings, improved storage system 10 includes a rack 20 and a plurality of trays 50, such as those shown, for example, as 51 and 52. The storage system 10 is designed to be used inside of a refrigerator having a plurality of shelves. The shelves may be made either of wire mesh such as shelf 2 shown in FIG. 8 or a solid material (for example, glass) such as the shelf 3 shown in FIG. 7. The shelves are fixed to the walls 3 of the refrigerator, using any standard attachment mechanism.
As shown in the drawings, the rack 20 includes a vertically oriented surface 22. Projecting inwardly toward the center of the refrigerator from the vertically oriented surface 2 are a plurality of retaining hooks 24 and a plurality of support members 30. The retaining hooks 24 have a wall 25 projecting from the vertically oriented surface 22 and a wall 26 projecting downwardly from wall 25. The walls 25 and 26 which form retaining hooks 24 have an inner surface and an outer surface.
The support members 30 also project inwardly toward the center of the refrigerator from the vertically oriented surface 22. As shown in the drawings, each support member 30 is aligned with and positioned just below one of the retaining hooks 24. The support members 30 are also spaced from the bottom of the hooks 24.
Projecting upwardly from the vertically oriented surface 22 are a pair of mounting members 32. The mounting members 32 terminate in a top flange 34 which extends inwardly toward the center of the refrigerator. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when in use, the inwardly extending top flange 34 rests on top of the refrigerator shelf 2 or 3 to support the rack 20.
To enhance the stability of the system, also provided is a biasing member 36. This biasing member is typically integrally molded with the remaining components of the rack 20. The biasing member 36 has a top member 38 which is forked. When the rack 20 is mounted to a solid shelf 3 as shown in FIG. 7, biasing member 36 is designed to engage the side 4 of the shelf 3. The biasing member 36 serves to force the back of rack 20 toward the wall of the refrigerator, providing additional and tighter support for the rack 20. When the rack 20 is mounted to a wire type shelf 2 as shown in FIG. 8, the forked top member 38 of biasing member 36 grips one of the wires of the shelf 2 to prevent the rack 20 from moving sideways in the refrigerator. The biasing member 36 also tends to force the back of rack 20 against the refrigerator wall.
As shown in the drawings, a variety of trays 50 can be used in conjunction with the rack 20. Each tray 50 has at least one receptacle 56, a first wall 58 projecting outwardly from at least one of the receptacles 56, and a second wall 60 projecting upwardly from the first wall 58. The first wall 58 and the second wall 60 on the trays 50 combine with the retaining hooks 24 and support members 30 on the rack 20 provide a means for securing the tray to the rack. As shown in the drawings, a plurality of retaining hooks 24 and support members 30 are provided on the rack so that trays 50 can be configured as desired in an adjustable fashion. The arrangement of the retaining hooks 24 and support member 30 in combination with the first wall 58 and second wall 60 of the trays 50 provide an easy means for inserting the trays into the rack. When a tray is to be inserted in the rack 20, the second wall 60 of the tray is fitted between the vertically oriented surface 22 and one of the hooks 24. At the same time, the first wall 58 of the tray is positioned just above the support member 30. Stated otherwise, the tray 50 can then be slid into the rack so that the first wall 58 of the tray 50 is supported by a support member 30 of the rack 20. The retaining hook 24 of the rack 20, in combination with the second wall 60 of the tray 50 prevents the tray 50 from tipping out of the rack 20.
As shown in the drawings, trays 50 incorporating a variety of designs can be used with the rack 20. For example, tray 51 is a bottle holder designed to hold two wine or soda bottles. Tray 52 can be used to hold jars and other containers within the refrigerator, yielding greater overall shelf space than if the refrigerator were used without the improved system of the present invention.
The forgoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention is not intended to be limiting. In accordance with the patent statutes, changes may be made in the disclosed storage system without actually departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims set forth below.

Summer's here, and that means you should be doing one thing: getting your tush out on the open road. From Kerouac to Juggalos, everyone loves discovering our country and themselves via America's highways. Only problem? That can be mega expensive. Here are some tips for you to save some cash when planning your road trip.
Whether out alone or with some pals, you're going to hit some boredom travelling the country—usually this starts around Kansas and extends through the great plains. There's so little to look at, you can't even make fun of ridiculous billboards or stupid town names. Sure, once you get into Missouri, there's some stuff to make fun of, (I'm looking at you Herculaneum, MO, for sounding like an amphitheater that is exclusively headlined by KISS.) so what can you do? Podcasts.
For those not in the know, podcasts are FREE radio shows put on by some of the finest minds in comedy, history, sports, and pop culture, that are available on demand whenever you see fit to listen.
A few podcasts that I recommend to any road dog are:
- Harmontown — Embattled and enlightened creator of Community and my new favorite show Rick & Morty, Dan Harmon, uses this podcast as a sort of crowd-funded therapy. Comptrolled (boozily moderated) by Jeff Davis of Whose Line Is It Anyway, this loose hour makes you feel like you're not alone. It's funny, uncomfortable, and inclusive—They let anyone with an opinion onstage to share their thoughts, often leading to incredibly funny results. For example, every episode now ends with an immensely entertaining round of Dungeons and Dragons, simply because Harmon asked if there was a Dungeon Master in the crowd.
- Hardcore History — Have a penchant for storytelling? Why spend your time sifting through made-up rigmarole when you can have a compilation of the greatest stories ever lived? Dan Carlin takes us on a bombastic and exhilarating ride through humanity's greatest conflicts, offering humanity sorely lacking in boring textbook affairs. Each episode is around 3-4 hours long, so you can learn and be entertained while driving through a rough stretch.
- Radiolab — Science can be dull, but there is never a boring moment on this slick, informative, and jaw-dropping podcast. Ranging from fun, light subjects like luck and snowflakes, to dark and eye-opening topics like mental-illness and war crimes, Radiolab offers unique, welcoming insight into the world around us.
Anyone with an eye on the road should always be prepared. There's no better safety net out there than Triple-A. For a minimal cost, you are covered for most every catastrophe you can think of. Once, a coyote ran out in front of my car, and I didn't have enough time to avoid it. AAA got me my car towed to the nearest town for free, discounts at the mechanic, AND the motel I ended up staying at. Also, if you're too drunk to drive and have your whole life packed in your car, they do tow without asking many questions. Not the ideal plan, but hey, stuff happens, and it's sure better than leaving your car on a busy downtown street or even attempting to take the wheel while intoxicated.
Additionally, before every road trip, stop at a local AAA office and they will set you up with a detailed map informing you of long stretches in between gas stations, attractions, and places to stay that have AAA discounts.
Don't be a blockhead. Nearly every major chain has coupons just waiting to put some extra cash in your party-fund. Try out every chain you think you might spend some dough on by searching the web and watch your budget expand like your belly while you eat your way across America.

Reindeer Rugs have become extremely popular over the last few years. Their unique markings and amazingly soft deep fur make them a stunning addition to the home or workplace.
Hide Rugs only sell premium quality reindeer skins; they are thicker, denser, softer and are less likely to shed vast amounts of hair. Until you have owned one of our Reindeer Rugs you will not be able to appreciate how beautiful they are, you will not find any other natural rug that has such incredible colouring and so unbelievably soft to the touch.
But how do we source such exquisite rugs? We carefully select companies that follow strict ethical practices and use only sustainable resources.
Reindeer husbandry is a livelihood that is passed down from generation to generation and is often the number one method of making a living in Arctic regions such as Finland and Lapland. In fact in Lapland, the Sami people are still known to use reindeers for their food, clothing and even decoration for their homes.
We want to bring this rustic charm to your home, and to do this we source our hides from Finland where they are produced as a bi-product to the food industry; delivered from these cold and icy conditions straight to bring warmth to your home.

Staff Writer
WILLIAMSON — Josh Murphy, assistant director of the STOP Coalition, moderated the first in a series of town hall meetings to be held throughout Mingo County to address different issues surrounding drug abuse.
The subject of the first meeting, held in the Williamson City Hall, was prescription drug abuse. Several members of the community were present to exchange ideas and comments, as well as residents of Crossroads, a residential drug treatment facility in GIlbert for women that is run by STOP.
Sister Janet Peterworth with Christian Help in Kermit, began the meeting on a positive note.
"I think we need to talk about what's going right instead of just always focusing on the negative," she said. "I for one am impressed with the amount of drug busts the sheriff has made. It gets more to the root of the problem, the people who make money on the vulnerability of others. I feel good about that."
She also praised the Mingo County Board of Education for pursuing a drug testing policy for students who participate in extracurricular activities. Murphy said data shows the number of minors taking drugs is dropping.
"I think it's because kids have less access (to prescription drugs)," Murphy said.
Among the exchange of ideas presented at the meeting was using legislation to try to slow the flow of prescriptions written. An ordinance that would ensure medical practices are legitimate, as opposed to "pill mills", has been passed in Ohio.
Similar ordinances require those offices that prescribe a certain amount of painkillers be designated as "pain management" facilities, and requirements such as a city-issued, annual pain management clinic license, hospital affiliation for doctors and background checks.
Some of the women currently undergoing treatment at Crossroads say that while law enforcement has a part to play in the fight against drugs, incarcerating addicts is not the answer.
"I have been in jail, and while it was an eye opener, I stayed high in jail just as much as I did on the street," she said.
Another Crossroads resident said addressing the issue with children was the key.
"It was fun when I started using," she said. "If I had been educated as a child, maybe I wouldn't be here now."
Michael Perry, who manages City Gym in Williamson, also attended the meeting. City Gym is located adjacent to the medical offices which were shut down in 2009 and had been referred to as a "pill mill."
Perry said the offices have since reopened, and that the traffic of people seeking prescriptions for pain medication are a deterrent to his business.
Perry said the culture of drug abuse has infected the community.
"We have a lawyer-based economy, we have grandparents raising children," he said. "I have had to drag black children out of horrible situations. They say poor black people hate each other, but it's the situation - it's bad."
He said the city is gaining a reputation for drugs and the problems that accompany drug abuse.
"People are throwing rubbers and needles away near my gym," he said. "People are walking around like zombies. Williamson is becoming known for prostitutes. Kids and old people should be talking to each other at the post office, not the whores that are there."
Perry said there is public money available to help fight the scourge of prescription drug abuse.
"We are ripe for all kinds of grants," he said. "Why are these people here? We need a plan of action to get rid of these people."
But residents of Crossroads, who are recovering from drug abuse, say that instead of ostracizing those who are in the cycle of drug abuse, offering an alternative life is the key.
"I hear you talking about these people, and I realize I was one of them. But instead of looking at these people and saying, 'eww' why not help them? Sometimes no one has ever told them they have any worth, can't we reach out to them?"

Cardiac Catheter Procedure
Percent of Heart Attack Patients Given PCI Within 90 Minutes of Arrival
The heart is a muscle that gets oxygen through blood vessels. Sometimes blood clots can block these blood vessels, and the heart can't get enough oxygen. This can cause a heart attack. Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI) are procedures that are among the most effective ways to open blocked blood vessels and help prevent further heart muscle damage. A PCI is performed by a doctor to open the blockage and increase blood flow in blocked blood vessels. Improving blood flow to your heart as quickly as possible lessens the damage to your heart muscle. It also can increase your chances of surviving a heart attack. There are three procedures commonly described by the term PCI. These procedures all involve a catheter (a flexible tube) that is inserted, often through your leg, and guided through the blood vessels to the blockage. The three procedures are:
- Angioplasty - a balloon is inflated to open the blood vessel.
- Stenting - a small wire tube called a stent is placed in the blood vessel to hold it open.
- Atherectomy - a blade or laser cuts through and removes the blockage.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) Authorities say a 2-year-old has died of injuries suffered in an alleged child abuse case in South Dakota, and a person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press the boy is the son of Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson.
Lincoln County State's Attorney Tom Wollman confirmed the death of the child Friday. He had been in critical condition in a hospital with severe head injuries since Wednesday.
Peterson declined to talk about the case while at practice Friday, and prosecutors and police in South Dakota declined to confirm the boy was his son. However, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the connection on condition of anonymity because Peterson had requested privacy in the matter.
A 27-year-old man, Joseph Patterson, has been charged with battery in the child's death.

(AP) ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia - Ethiopia's orthodox church has elected a new leader of the influential body in the predominantly Christian nation.
Abune Matias, 71, was Thursday named the 6th Patriarch of the church officially known as the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Abune Matias, currently serving as Archbishop of the church in Jerusalem, accepted the appointment.
The election comes amid disputes surrounding the leadership of the powerful church, which boasts of some 40 million adherents, and a long history of conflict with the central government.
The Ethiopian church was under the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. In 1959 it broke away to be independent and started appointing its leaders.

SHIMLA, India 7/2/12 (PennWell) -- India's 1,000-MW Karcham Wangtoo hydroelectric project has been registered under the Clean Development Mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, HydroWorld.com has learned.
The U.N.'s CDM is an initiative intended to prevent climate change and comply with emissions standards dictated by the Kyoto Protocol.
The Karcham Wangtoo hydropower facility, which is located on the Sutlej River in Himachal Pradesh, is one of the largest hydro plants to ever receive CDM designation, according to operator Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd.
The company also operates the 30-MW Baspa II and 400-MW Vishnuprayag facilities and says Karcham Wangtoo is the largest privately owned hydropower project in India.
HydroWorld.com reported in June 2011 that Karcham Wangtoo was already generating power with one turbine and was expected to be fully operational by August 2011.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2001 (This is a summary of the American Forces Press Service news stories for the week ending April 20, 2001.)
DoD TO IMPROVE DEPLOYMENT TRACKING
DoD and the services are now keeping a closer eye on how many days service members spend away from home, in accordance with the 2000 National Defense Authorization Act.
DoD is trying to reduce the number of days service members are deployed. To keep these numbers down, Congress provided a financial disincentive: DoD will have to pay $100 a day to any service member who's deployed more than 400 days in the previous two years. The days need not be consecutive.
Stark explained reporting began Oct. 1, 2000. Only deployed days past that date count toward the additional payment. So, conceivably, heavily deployed service members may be eligible for the "high-deployment per diem" as early as November 2001.
Full story
DoD EXPLORING SINAI DRAWDOWN
The U.S. government is looking at possibly reducing or eliminating American participation in the peacekeeping force in the Sinai, Pentagon officials said April 19. Currently, 865 U.S. soldiers are deployed to the area.
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. Craig Quigley said Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld had discussed the possibility of reducing U.S. troop levels to the Multinational Force and Observers during meetings with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on April 3 and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on March 19.
Quigley said this was in keeping with President Bush's campaign pledge to examine U.S. troop stationing around the world and see where they might be reduced. U.S. forces have served with the MFO in the Sinai since April 25, 1982. Congress capped troop participation at 1,200.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told reporters April 13 that U.S. Navy pilot Lt. Shane Osborn's EP-3 surveillance plane was on auto pilot and flying straight and level when a Chinese fighter jet hit him March 31.
The Chinese jet was "buzzing" the EP-3 when its tail hit the Navy aircraft's No. 1 engine propeller, Rumsfeld said. At that point, the EP-3's auto pilot went off and the plane made a steep left turn and lost some 5,000 to 8,000 feet in altitude before Osborn regained control.
"Our EP-3 was flying an overt reconnaissance and surveillance mission in international airspace in an aircraft clearly marked 'United States Navy,'" Rumsfeld told reporters. "It was on a well-known flight path that we had used for decades. Many countries perform such flights, including China."
The Persian Gulf is the crucial area for U.S. Central Command, but the command has much more on its plate, Army Gen. Tommy R. Franks told Congress recently.
"The volatility of our region requires that USCENTCOM remain adaptable and agile," the CENTCOM commander in chief told members of the House Armed Services Committee. "Without a large footprint in the region, we must be truly 'deployable.' Responsive command, control and communications during peace, crisis and conflict will remain key to our ability to accomplish the mission."
CENTCOM's area of responsibility includes the northern Red Sea, Egypt, Jordan, East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and South Asia from Pakistan up to Kazakhstan -- 25 nations in an area about twice the size of the continental United States, Franks said.
The U.S. Army has finished field-testing a computer system that allows commanders at many levels to talk, exchange information and perform many missions. Two brigades tested the system April 1-14 during Division Capstone, the largest battle games in years at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, Calif.
Officials said the system is a concrete example of "information superiority." Army Col. John Antal, exercise chief of staff, said the system allows commanders to know exactly where all their vehicles are and -- with input from intelligence systems -- where the enemy is.
Essentially, the tactical network mimics the Internet. Commercial software runs the system and any casual computer user should be able to figure out how to navigate the system easily. On the screen, friendly forces are shown in blue. Enemy forces -- when found -- appear in red.

Schoolhouse secrets
The Pueblitos Elementary School stands along N.M. 116 surrounded by homes with little remnants of its former life as a school house.
But co-owners Keith Holtzclaw and Kelly Peebles are trying to change that — one renovation at a time.
While restoring the school house, which was built in the 1930s, the two aim to place the home on the New Mexico historical registry while learning a bit of its history and possibly publishing this information in a book.
"It's an ongoing project, and it will probably last until I'm gone," Holtzclaw said.
Upon retiring, Holtzclaw, 63, planned to move to Oregon and build a house on property he owned there, but that all changed when he and his friend Peebles visited the school.
Although the school had extensive water damage from a leaky roof, holes in the attic and no heating or air conditioning systems, the pair knew they had to buy it and transform the school to resemble what it once looked like.
"The first thing that grabbed us was the look of it," Holtzclaw said. "We both thought it looked like the Alamo."
They placed an offer on the home in May 2007 and moved in less than three months later.
A portion of the school house contains one fully intact classroom and another partially intact classroom, while the other half has been converted from classrooms into two master bedrooms, one guest bedroom, an office, a living room, kitchen, game room and bathroom.
The 12-foot high ceiling was lowered in all but two rooms to eight feet, making way for an attic and covering part of the more than 30 long windows.
Within the five years the two have lived in the home, they've taken on repair projects head on.
Restorations to the old schoolhouse have been slow in coming since Holtzclaw has been focusing on his health. But now he's in the process of placing the former schoolhouse onto the New Mexico historical registry.
For this, Holtzclaw plans to have the one classroom that's still intact ready to be shown on tours of historical homes throughout Valencia County.
"The next step is getting that room to look more like what it would've looked like in the past," he said.
After repainting the peeling turquoise walls, the pair will clear the room to restore the original wooden floors, replace the crumbling ceiling tiles and highlight the room's past.
A blackboard lines the wall closest to the original wooden door with a white "5″ painted on it. A long, green chalkboard lines the wall parallel to the door.
A wooden correction paddle hangs on the wall from a nail, along with a pencil sharpener.
Above one of the original classroom doors is a wooden board, where a window opened by pulling on a metal chain.
They plan on placing an old wooden desk in a corner of the room beside framed student artwork and homework found underneath the home.
Once complete, Holtzclaw plans on hosting a reunion for all Pueblitos Elementary School students to learn more about the school. Holtzclaw would like to learn the school's daily class schedule, how the classrooms were set up, listen to students' experiences and collect pictures of what the school once looked like.
"That's why I want to have a get-together where people can come in and tell me about their experiences, to put it in a book that maybe I can publish if I can get enough information. That's one of my goals," he said.
The first goal of the two men was to transform the building into a liveable home while maintaining the structure's history.
Upon completing repairs and kicking off restorations, they began to discover hidden treasurers in nooks and crannies throughout the building.
They saw the tops of classroom chimneys on the roof, but upon further inspection, they found the chimneys had been walled in and replaced with old-fashioned brick gas heaters.
A bell in the attic buzzes, alerting students of the end of class.
Classroom numbers, with one carved in and another painted on, remain on two of the original classroom doors in the building.
A large white, porcelain sink stands perched in a hallway, where students would wash their hands before going to class.
A white 1950s school bus is parked behind the schoolhouse, near the dirt road encircling the home that buses would use to drop off students.
While working underneath the house, Peebles found graded student homework and colorful artwork, along with torn newspapers, chip bags and beverage cans.
Former students informed Holtzclaw that children would sneak underneath the building through two trap doors during their lunch break.
"They would take food down there and eat and crawl around," he said.
Part of restoring the schoolhouse, which became a home in the 1970s, is learning about the history behind it, Holtzclaw said.
"I feel like I don't just live in a house," he said. "I live in a historical home or historical building, so I have a duty to keep it looking good and find out as much about it as I possibly can."
When Holtzclaw moved in, he didn't know much history about the building, and five years later, he still doesn't. History or information about the schoolhouse has been scarce and hard to find, he said.
"I'm a little confused and a little surprised that there's not more history readily available in town," he said. "There's none that I can find."
The little that he does know is from 33 former student accounts he heard while grocery shopping, eating at a restaurant or by reading small snippets in books and newspapers.
"I feel this drive and I'm constantly looking for new information about it," Holtzclaw said.
His neighbor across the street said she lives in the original Pueblitos schoolhouse built in the 1800s, which he read had burned down.
One student told him that the schoolhouse had a library, but no cafeteria, making children bring in sack lunches to school.
"Many of the people I've talked to say how their education was wonderful and that the teachers were dedicated," Holtzclaw said. "They were really intense about getting homework done and excelling."
With the schoolhouse standing on the east side of N.M. 116 since the 1930s, ghost sightings are not a surprise.
A handful of times, the pair has seen movement in the home, but think it was a passing train or something shining through the window. They dismissed these sightings until they felt a sensation.
"It's the stuff that makes the hair on your arms go up, so it's not just seeing something it's your body reacting to something," Holtzclaw said.
He has felt a presence in the room that makes his skin crawl with goose bumps.
"I'm not a big ghost believer, but I can't deny some of the things that have happened," he said.
When the furnace was being installed in the attic, Holtzclaw was startled as he heard six grown men run down the stairs and out of the house. The foreman later told him the men working saw a women in white standing in the corner of the room watching them work.
"He said he wasn't sure they'd go back up," Holtzclaw said laughing.
A number of times Holtzclaw has caught his five dogs grouped together, staring at something in the ceiling and letting out a "woof!" Other times he's seen a misty "indescribable, irregular shape" in the corner of the room and heard knocking and thuds coming from the attic.
"One time I thought it was somebody knocking and came and stood (at the foot of the stairs to the attic) and thought, 'Oh, it's the cat,' but when I opened the door, nobody was there and the cat was on top of the window," he said.
Holtzclaw describes the presence as a friendly spirit.
"Nothing we've ever had happen here has been from a mean spirit," he said. "It's just been an inquisitive spirit."
Although the building spans 5,000 square feet on a more than three-acre piece of property, the sightings are concentrated throughout the portion of the schoolhouse that is now transformed into a home.
But the experiences are a "fun part of the house," Holtzclaw said.
