Areas of Law Description
Our practice areas include:
- Administrative Law
General principles belonging to administrative procedures: The written principle is dominant and principle of ex officio examination is applied in this procedure. The equality of arms principle in other words fair hearing principle and the prohibition of widening of the claim should also be taken into account in this procedure. A judge may not make a judgment which is more than the scope of claim. The procedure of acquired rights is respected.
- Tax Law
The ratio of corporate tax is 20%. Complete taxpayers are subjected to a 15% ratio of tax deduction from the profit shares in which they acquire. However the share profit of up to 239.000 TL is exempted from tax. Narrow taxpayers (the ones which are residing abroad) do not have to declare their profit share income they acquired in Turkey.
- Real Estate
• Right of construction
It is a servitude which gives the right owner the authority to construct a structure under or above on an immovable or to preserve a structure which already exists and give the authority to own the proprietary right of the structure, and for this reason it is a limited real right (Right of construction).
The servitude contract relating the establishment of a right of construction must be arranged as an authenticated contract at the official title deeds registry office. The right of construction is registered on a separate page as an immovable in the land register. A right of construction may be established as an independent right for a maximum of 100 years. If the right of construction is given for 30 or more years then it is accepted that it has a continuous nature. The right of construction may be transferred and it may also be transferred to inheritors as well. When the right of construction ends the structures on the land are left to the owner of it. The owner of the immovable as long as it was not decided otherwise does not pay a fee to the owner of the right of construction for the structures which are left to them.
• Right of Residence
It is the right which allows a person to reside in a house or a part of it or to take over a house or a part of it (Residency right). Because a residency right is one which is tightly bound to a person it may not be transferred and does not get passed along to inheritors. The owner of right may not transfer it to someone else without the consent of the person who owns the residency right, even if they try to use this right by renting the place. In order to establish a residency right an authenticate contract must be made at the title deeds registry office and this right is registered in the servitude column of the land register.
• Right of usufruct
It is a right which gives the right owner the ability to keep the item (in hand) of which the right is subject to and allows the person to, direct, use, benefit from it. Right of usufruct is a limited real right (incorporeal right) and it is established on immovable by registering it to the land registry. A usufruct right may be established by contract, law or by a court order. A usufruct right may be made for a certain time or it may be done for the life period of the owner of right. When this right is given indefinitely or when it is given for a period which is longer than the persons life then the time period for the right is accepted to be limited to the person's life (until they die). For legal entities the time period for this right may only be up to a 100 years. Usufruct right may be established controversially or non-controversially.
• Pre-emption right
When a share of one of the partners of an immovable which is jointly owned is going to be sold, the other partners have a pre-emption right to buy this share before others; this is called the pre-emption right. If one the partners of the jointly owned immovable sell their share of the property to the third person the other shareholders may open a lawsuit for this share to be sold to them. The right to open a pre-emption suit and request that the partnership share should be primarily sold to them is lost after 3months passes the time in which the sale has been notified to the right owner and in every case after 2 years pass from the time of sale. In the case that the lawsuit is accepted the partnership share sold to the third person will be annulled and it is decided that the share will be sold to the partner who has opened the lawsuit.
• Obligatory passage right
It is the right to pass through somebody else's property. It is registered as servitude in the trade registry. A passage right may be established for a charge or it may be established without a charge as well. A owner of an immovable who does not have enough space to be able to reach the road with the condition that they pay the full price of the place may request from the court that the neighbors leave a suitable place of their land so that may pass this is called obligatory passage right. The obligatory passage right must be established in a way which is the least damaging to the neighbors.
• Contract of a promise to sell an immovable
It is a pre-contract which gives the right to a person which allows them to request that a contract for the sale of an immovable is made with them. With this pre-contract the parties seek to ensure that the main contract will be made. After this contract is made one of the sides acquires the right to request that the other side carry out their contractual duties in the case that they do not fulfill their obligations which were stated in the contract. This contract may only be valid if it is made by a notary. This contract does not give the related person a real right in only gives them a personal right. A contract of promise to sell an immovable which has been registered to the land registry is effective for 10 years. Another condition for the contract to be valid is that the sales price is shown on it.
• Acquiring of an immovable by extraordinary prescription
When an immovable which is not registered in the land registry and is in the continuous possession of a person for 20 years then this person has the right to request that all of the immovable or a part or share of it be registered in their name at the land registry.
• Lawsuit to recover property
The owner of a property against the person, who has the property in their hands without any right, has the right to request that the property is returned to them or has the right to open a lawsuit. A lawsuit to recovery property does not have a time limit it may always be opened. If the item which wants to be taken back is a movable; the execution of the judgment given at the end of the case will make this possible. For immovables registered at the land registry the function of a lawsuit to recover property will be the same as a suit to fix a registry at a land registry. The plaintiff is the owner of the property. In the lawsuit of recovering property detection of the right of ownership and the return of the property may be requested. The lawsuit has the character of an action of performance. In the case the plaintiff must prove their ownership right and that they did not have the property in their hands at the time the suit was opened.
• Suit to prevent intervention
With this lawsuit the prevention of an attack against the owner's possession of an item and along with this ownership of the thing is becomes possible. In times where it becomes hard with unlawful reasons for the owner to use their right which comes from ownership it gives the owner the right to protect themselves from intervention of others. The defendant is the one who is intervening. The fault is not the fact looked for in intervention. However the intervention must be unlawful and this fact is taken into account. The lawsuit is not subject to any time limit. The owner must prove their ownership and the existing attack on the item.
• Condominium ownership
Condominium ownership may only be established on buildings which are fully made of stone and bricks and which are completed. On such a building a condominium ownership may be established only with the condition that the whole building will be subjected to it. Condominium ownership may be established by will with an official document and registration to the land registry. Registration of a condominium ownership is done at the condominium ownership registry.
Construction servitude on a land which is subjected to shared ownership it is such a right tied to a share that, it give the authority to the shareholder who has the right request from the other shareholders to establish a building subject to condominium ownership according to the contract and to change the type of ownership of a building which is established into condominium ownership. At the same time it obligates the shareholders who have the servitude on the immovable to build the mentioned building.
• Damages for unlawful occupation law suit
It refers a compensation which may be claimed by the Treasury when the immovable has been used and disposed without the consent of the authority by real persons or legal entities. In this case whether or not the authority has been damaged or the existence of the occupier's fault are not taken into account and the compensation is calculated with the consideration of the immovable's previous conditions before the occupation and the possible income which would arise from it.
• Elimination of joint partnership
It is when a joint ownership of an immovable or the right of usage on it is ended by dividing it between the partners or selling it. The subject of these cases is joint ownership. Elimination of a partnership is a right which concludes new rights. The court, if the amount of shares and the number of them are suitable to eliminate to each shareholder individually then by giving each shareholder this amount of share in kind if not then by dividing the money which comes from selling the property and giving it to each shareholder in the amount of which each shareholders has in shares gives the decision to eliminate the partnership. These cases without looking at the financial cost are seen at the courts of peace.
The suit for the immovable subject to the case is opened at the place court the immovable is found. If the immovable are more than one and if they are in separate places then the place where one of them is found has authority. The parties may not make a competent contract. The case is subjected to simple judgment procedures. Because these types of lawsuits are not bound to a time limit and they may be opened at anytime. The plaintiff is a shareholder and the defendants are the other shareholders. For immovable which are not registered at the land registry, elimination of partnership may not be requested and this also goes for eliminating partnership on a part of the immovable as well.
- Foreign Investment Law
Foreign capital is the procedure of making a transfer of capital from one country to the other. Foreign capital may enter countries in two ways as official capital flow and special capital flow. Official capital flow is made from a country or international institution towards another country. Special capital flow is separated into two as direct investments and portfolio investments.
The most important reason for foreign investment; profit difference which means the profit obtained abroad is more than the profit obtained in the country to put in other words the cost in making investments in other countries is lower. Another advantage of these types of investments is the fact that labour may be cheaper abroad. Countries may decide with the intention of riding themselves from the weight of labour fees in their countries to benefit from the cheap labour found in less developed countries. Another reason is to get rid of customs fares and other limitations.
- Debt Recovery
People may apply by the way of complaint in 7 days for unlawful procedures which are not consistent with the incidents, which are made by the enforcement and bankruptcy offices.

Complaint is done to the execution court which the execution office is bound to. As long as the court does not make a decision the application may not stop the execution.

Two charged with growing hallucinogenic mushrooms in Oklahoma City apartment
Two people were charged with unlawful cultivation after jars and syringes containing hallucinogenic mushrooms were found in a northwest Oklahoma City apartment.
Matthew Emmett Hanna, 22, and Kelsey Lee Cantwell, 22, were charged Wednesday in Oklahoma County District Court with felony unlawful cultivation of a controlled dangerous substance.
On March 11, police served a search warrant at an apartment at 3228 W Memorial Road. During the search, 47 glass jars containing psilocybin mushroom spores in various stages of growth were found, according to the probable cause affidavit.
Also found were 11 syringes containing various strains of psychedelic mushroom species, two large containers with growing spores and a book on cultivating "medical mushrooms," the affidavit states.
Neither had been booked into the Oklahoma County jail by Wednesday afternoon, jailers said.
Hanna has a prior felony conviction on a charge of maintaining a dwelling where a controlled dangerous substance is kept or sold, the affidavit states.

May 21, 2016 Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has repeatedly trashed super PACs and claimed he would run as a candidate who couldn't be bought. Through the end of April, it looked like no one really wanted to try that anyway. That's changing quickly. But one of the outside groups that has popped up to advocate for Trump has raised less than $1.1 million —… Continue Reading »

After dealing with a change of location, a delayed start and lots of standing water, hundreds of people participating in Grand Ledge's Relay for Life have been sent home until Saturday morning.
Five hours into the walk Friday evening, participants were sent inside Beagle Middle School. Shortly after, organizers put a temporary halt on the event in order to wait out the second storm of the day.
Close to 1,200 people came out once the clouds parted, following the first storm, now they'll have to come out again. Cancer survivor Clint Deatsman says he'll be walking no matter if it rains, pours or snows.
Donna Hay, cancer survivor, says the storms aren't dampening her spirits or her reasons for walking in the Relay for Life. Hays says she enjoys meeting other survivors and sharing stories with them.
Grand Ledge's Relay for Life will continue Saturday morning at 6 a.m. running until 6 p.m.

Roy Finch ready to step in for injured Dominique Whaley
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Dominique Whaley's value was underscored Oct. 22 in a loss to Texas Tech, a game the walk-on running back sat out because of the flu.
The Sooners, though, have no choice but to make adjustments without Whaley after he suffered a season-ending broken ankle on the first play of a 58-17 win over Kansas State Saturday afternoon Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
Sophomore Roy Finch inherits the starting role. But Finch's role will be different from Whaley's heavy workload. Finch's role will be similar to his big day against the Wildcats:
Nine carries for 73 yards.
Seven receptions for 69 yards.
"They're throwing in some packages where I'm at receiver and I'm not in the backfield," Finch said. "That's how they get me some touches without all that pounding."
With Whaley out for the season, the Sooners probably will go back to a committee approach.
In Saturday's win, freshman Brandon Williams rushed for 22 yards on eight carries. Brennan Clay, who started the first three games, had only one carry against K-State but is an option.
But that's the entire list of candidates. With Whaley's surprising emergence, Jermie Calhoun and Jonathan Miller left the team early in the season. Miller is transferring to Illinois State.
"I know my workload will increase because of Dom's loss," Finch said. "I just need to be prepared, practice hard and get better every week."
Weighing only 166 pounds, Finch can't handle 20 to 30 carries a game like Whaley.
But since he sometimes lines up in the slot, Finch could still get 20 touches a game.
"Anything that gets me into space I feel is a good thing," Finch said. "I feel very comfortable if I can get linebackers one-on-one, make them miss and get upfield. Swing passes are very good for that."
Regardless of how carries are divided, Finch will have a larger workload because of Whaley's injury. The first five games, Finch had only 10 carries.
Finch showed again Saturday he can be a difference maker. He even picked up a blitzing linebacker, a knock on his overall game earlier in the season.
"You play for moments like this, playing well on the road in a hostile environment," Finch said. "I feel very confident."
Co-offensive coordinator Jay Norvell said the offensive staff will have to explore ways to get others involved, including Trey Millard, who had only one carry but showed he's not your normal fullback when he rambled 61 yards for a touchdown.
"We have to look at the overall scheme of things," Norvell said. "That run at the end of the game showed how he's capable of doing some things. I was pleased with how our guys responded after Dom got hurt."
Whaley, who was once a second-team back at NAIA Langston, rushed for 627 yards the first six games. He was one of the top rushers in the conference before missing last week's game.
While he was being carted off the field, his left leg in a boot, Whaley tapped his chest and pointed to his teammates on the far sideline.
"We have a lot of athletes at each position," Finch said. "Losing Dom is a big loss. But I feel we will be OK and can continue to establish the running game like we did today."
Finch's first test as the "starter" was a dominant win.
"I feel some people started having some doubt (in us)," Finch said. "We were the No. 3 team in the country and lost at home. That should never happen. After that game, I feel we fell off the radar a little bit. This was a good win for us."

Minor-league baseball fans are a major step closer to watching the Grand Old Game in Amarillo next spring, thanks to a ruling by 47th District Judge Dan Schaap.
The judge ruled that the company that owns the Amarillo Dillas - the team that used to play ball in Amarillo - cannot block another team's agreement to lease a ballpark from Potter County.
That's good news on at least a couple of levels.
First, Schaap's ruling all but terminates the county's relationship with Reunion Sports Group, the outfit that failed to make lease payments to the county for its use of Potter County Memorial Stadium. Yes, RSG plans to appeal the ruling. Time will tell if the appeal succeeds.
Second, the dismissal of RSG's pursuit of an injunction against the county's new lease agreement paves the way for the stadium's new tenant, Southern Independent Baseball, to begin operations at the stadium.
The league operates quality franchises in other communities. Potter County commissioners sought a legitimate tenant to keep baseball alive in Amarillo.
The new agreement requires Southern Independent Baseball to make three payments of $24,000 each next year to operate the stadium. The new team - which will be named something other than the Dillas - will compete with a league in medium-size to large cities, such as Fort Worth, El Paso, St. Paul, Minn., and Winnipeg, Manitoba. The American Association brings a significant amount of credibility to Amarillo's new baseball operation.
Potter County's recently rocky turn of events with the Dillas appears for the time being to be history.
The new relationship needs to move forward in time for the start of next season.

Current Missions
Aura OMI
Aura is the chemistry mission of NASA with the overall objective to study the chemistry and dynamics of Earth's atmosphere from the ground through the mesosphere. Aura carries on board the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI).
COSMO-SkyMed is a 4-spacecraft constellation, conceived by ASI (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana), and funded by the Italian Ministry of Research (MUR) and the Italian Ministry of Defense (MOD), Italy.
The Deimos-1 satellite was built by SSTL and is owned by Deimos Imaging. The satellite provides imagery for commercial applications, for government use and for rapid-response following disasters.
GOSAT (Greenhouse gases Observing Satellite) is a JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) mission within the GCOM (Global Change Observation Mission) program of Japan.
The primary science objective of GRACE is to measure the Earth's gravity field and its time variability with unprecedented accuracy. The secondary science objective is to obtain approximately 150 very precise globally distributed vertical temperature and humidity profiles of the atmosphere per day using the GPS radio occultation technique.
IKONOS was an imaging satellite of DigitalGlobe providing high-resolution imagery on a commercial basis.
IRS-P6, also known as ResourceSat-1, is an Earth observation mission within the IRS (Indian Remote-Sensing Satellite) series of ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization). IRS-P6 is the continuation of the IRS-1C/1D missions with considerably enhanced capabilities.
KOMPSAT-2 (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2), also referred to as Arirang-2 by South Korea, has been developed by KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) to continue the observation program of the KOMPSAT-1 mission
Landsat OLI/TIRS
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Scanner (TIRS) are the two instruments carried on board Landsat 8 (also known as LDCM – Landsat Data Continuity Mission) satellite. These two sensors provide seasonal coverage of the global landmass at a spatial resolution of 30 metres (visible, NIR, SWIR), 100 metres (thermal) and 15 metres (panchromatic).
The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer is a broad-band, four or five channel (depending on the model) scanner, sensing in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This sensor is carried on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), beginning with TIROS-N in 1978.
OceanSat-2 is an Indian satellite designed to provide service continuity for operational users of the Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) instrument on OceanSat-1.

Scout finance campaign kicks off
David Bowling, Friends of Scouting Chair for Shelby County, says a campaign to raise money for scouting in the county will kickoff at 11:30 Tuesday with a luncheon at the Waldridge Center.
Former Kentucky basketball star and current radio commentator Mike Pratt will be the guest speaker.
Donnie Ethington said he has cleared 185 cars of the Ethington Auto Sales property on Midland Trail, and he hopes that's enough.
According to Ryan Libke, the Triple S Planning and Zoning executive director, the car lot is in the clear.
Triple S had been after Ethington Auto Sales since late last year to clean up two lots full of junk cars, which by zoning rules defined the car lot as a junkyard.
Alyson Myatt, a Shelbyville nanny who has been hailed a hero after running through flames to save a 5-year-old from a burning house, received $20,000 from Ellen DeGeneres and a cruise from a company sponsor during an appearance on the television show Thursday.
The little boy saved by his nanny from a house fire on March 23 is now the subject of a custody battle between his mother and the man who is his legal guardian.
Family Court Judge John David Myles heard testimony in the case Tuesday and said he would rule in 10 days if 5-year-old Aden would remain with his custodial guardian, J.B. Hawes, or be returned to the custody of his mother, Dazurae Blankenship.
Shelby County Fiscal Court magistrates gave an enthusiastic thumbs up to two programs for the detention center that will be funded by the state.
Jailer Bobby Waits outlined the programs to magistrates at Tuesday night's meeting of the court.
The Kentucky Association of Counties and the Kentucky League of Cities, two organization whose management and spending habits have been under scrutiny, will must operate in the public eye.
On Wednesday, Gov. Steve Beshear signed into law two Senate bills that will ensure those organizations and others like them that rely on public money will conduct their business operations under the light of public scrutiny.
The Shelbyville City Council approved Thursday the second reading of an ordinance that will reinstate the rental inspection fee.
The ordinance was dropped in 2007 after several landlords complained that the city was just looking for revenue.
Mayor Tom Hardesty said when the ordinance was dropped, the city moved the inspection into the business license, but the same group that had balked at paying for inspections was continuing to refuse through the business license.
April Fool's Day, the opening construction day for work on the Shelbyville Bypass, dawned bright and sunny.
But the equipment sat motionless, except for a stray truck or two being checked out by a mechanic.
Well, at least contractors Kay and Kay are consistent.
Alyson Myatt is recuperating at home with her family after being released Wednesday from the burn unit at the University of Louisville.
A fund has been set up for Myatt to help her pay medical expenses she incurred after being badly burned saving the life of a 5-year-old boy she carried from a burning house.
People may make donations on Myatt's behalf at Republic Bank in a fund called Aly Myatt Hero Nanny.

Versatility is unmatched. Works also with seafood and fried food.
2nd is Blue Cheese
Honorable Mention is Ranch (kraft, not the runny hidden valley stuff)
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
blue cheese with maytag blue cheese.
honey mustard is only good with chicken fingers or cheese wontons.
creamy italian
homemade ranch
bleu cheese
Ranch or GTFO.
Big creamy Italian fan. Orlondos by Water Works park house makes theirs.
For a twist try red onions, strawberrys, and poppy seed dressing in your salad.

Yeah, ranch really has the best versatility. Can be eaten on almost all veggies, fried foods, you can even dip pizza in it. Homemade ranch is the best, though, not the crap that comes in a bottle.
A good creamy Italian, like at Ranallo's in Ankeny, is also amazing. Good call by JP4CY on Orlondos, too.

Dorothy Lynch, only good thing to come out of Nebraska!
French is overrated. Always thought it was gross. Like runny ketchup. Russian dressing on the other hand...yep.
Latin King's creamy parm. Out of a bottle, ranch. I have just been using vinegar and olive oil lately though.
Hard to argue. The dance of the sweet honey and the bitter
Mustard is a pretty good analogy of life right in a tasty sauce.
By the way.....how many days until kickoff???

Life Extension Update
July 15, 2011
The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's Annual Meeting held in San Diego was the site of a presentation on July 10, 2011 of the finding of Michael Shindle, MD of Summit Medical Group and his colleagues of a higher incidence of vitamin D insufficiency among National Football League players with muscle injuries.
The current study included 89 NFL players aged 21 to 32 years. Fifty-eight subjects were African American and 31 were Caucasian. Sixteen of the players suffered from a muscle injury. Vitamin D levels were tested in the spring of 2010 during routine pre-season evaluations.
Vitamin D deficiency, defined as a level of less than 20 nanograms per milliliter, was identified in 27 participants and insufficient levels of 20 to 31.9 nanograms per milliliter were observed in 45 subjects. Caucasian players had an average level of 30.3 nanograms per milliliter, while African Americans averaged 20.4 nanograms per milliliter. Among those with muscle injury, vitamin D levels averaged 19.9 nanograms per milliliter, which is considered deficient. "Eighty percent of the football team we studied had vitamin D insufficiency," commented Dr Shindle. "African American players and players who suffered muscle injuries had significantly lower levels."
"Screening and treatment of vitamin D insufficiency in professional athletes may be a simple way to help prevent injuries," added coauthor Scott A. Rodeo, MD, who is Co-Chief of the Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
Joseph Lane, MD of the Hospital for Special Surgery, who also contributed to the study, concluded that "Further research also needs to be conducted in order to determine if increasing vitamin D leads to improved maximum muscle function."
As humans age, our muscles atrophy and weaken (a condition termed sarcopenia), regardless of exercise regimen or lifestyle (Bross R et al 1999). The muscles become smaller and less elastic, and muscle injuries become more common (Bross R et al 1999; Baumgartner RN et al 1998). The ability to recover from injuries also decreases, as does tolerance for exercise.
Our senior years are a good time to exercise. Exercise by older people improves quality of life. Sarcopenia, even in severe cases, can be reversed through strength training (Aniansson A et al 1981; Frontera WR et al 1992). Exercise has also been shown to control body weight (very important in preventing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension) and strengthen bones. It is important for older people to engage in regular, low to moderate exercise rather than strenuous activity (Martini FH 1995).
A number of supplements have been shown to promote strength by supporting muscle function. These include the following:
Carnitine. Carnitine, an amino acid, helps transport fat into mitochondria, where it is metabolized. Exercise capacity is increased among people with arterial disease following carnitine supplementation (Barker GA et al 2001). In addition, studies show that carnitine supplementation increases muscle function and exercise capacity in people with kidney disease (Brass EP et al 1998).
Creatine. Studies show that creatine supplementation effectively increases lean muscle mass and strength (Nissen SL et al 2003; Kreider RB 2003; Gotshalk LA et al 2002). Creatine donates a phosphate molecule to adenosine diphosphate in order to produce more ATP for energy demands. The buildup of lactic acid may also be delayed after creatine supplementation.
Glutamine. Although glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, at times the body cannot produce all the glutamine it needs because of extreme stress caused by surgery, prolonged exercise, or infection (Talbott SM 2003; Workman J 2002; Hendler SS et al 2001; Bassit RA et al 2002).

Vinpocetine is derived from vincamine, the major indole alkaloid of the periwinkle plant. No toxic effects have been seen from vinpocetine use at levels far above those recommended for this product.
When taken orally, vinpocetine is easily absorbed and it can:
SAMe occurs naturally in the body. It is concentrated in the liver and brain and is a major methyl donor in the synthesis of hormones, nucleic acids, proteins, and phospholipids, catecholamines, and other neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin. SAMe is required for the synthesis of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, and also plays a role in other intracellular metabolic pathways. SAMe facilitates glutathione usage and maintains acetylcholine levels, which help enhance or maintain cognitive function and attenuate or prevent aggression of aging and neurodegeneration.
SAMe levels may become depleted with sickness and age. Supplementation with the cofactors — folate, trimethylglycine (TMG or betaine), vitamins B6 and B12, together with SAMe — appears to be an effective method to overcome this deficiency.

Roads vote helped county shape its destiny
Nearly 80 years ago, in one of the most important elections in Henrico County's history, voters cast their ballots without electing anyone to office.
But their decision that day – one that passed by a margin of 1,842 votes to 1,132 – helped change the course of Henrico's future by making it unique among nearly all other Virginia localities in one very critical way.
The vote authorized Henrico to opt out of the newly created state-operated road maintenance program, which was implemented in 1932 as part of the Byrd Act to relieve localities of such maintenance duties. At the time, nearly all Virginia localities opted to give up the control of their secondary road systems to the state. But Henrico voters did not, and the county's landscape today is due in large part to their decision – even if they may not have been able to predict that at the time.
"I don't think anybody could have foreseen how important it would be 70, 80 years later," said Harvey Hinson, a longtime Henrico administrator who retired as a deputy county manager several years ago.
That decision ranks No. 8 on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant events in Henrico's 400-year history.
Today, the county's Public Works department maintains more than 1,300 miles of county roadways (all roads in the county that do not carry a route number) with quarterly payments of about $3 million apiece from the state. Arlington County is the only other in Virginia that opted out of the state program in 1932 and has remained out.
So while other counties must present their roadway requests to VDOT officials and convince them of their needs – a process that is subject to state studies and funding and one that typically takes years – Henrico has no such bureaucratic tape to cut through. It can decide how to spend its money immediately.
By eliminating that state influence, Henrico gave itself a head start on development – and a competitive advantage over other localities, according to University of Richmond economics professor George Hoffer.
"What it did is that it gave us the flexibility that virtually no other county in Virginia had, to avoid the bureaucracy – and, if you had people with some foresight – the ability to put the resources where they could do the most good," said Hoffer, a local transportation expert and a Henrico resident since 1950.
A prime example of the impact that flexibility provided Henrico occurred in the mid-1990s, when Motorola and Siemens were seeking a location to build a giant semiconductor facility. The companies sought a quick turnaround time for their project but required a significant site with infrastructure in place.
Henrico's Elko Tract in Sandston satisfied their requirements but was miles from utility connections and had no roads. Constructing parkways and running water and sewer lines across empty fields and through wooded acres might have taken several years to complete through VDOT and other state agencies – too long for the companies. But since Henrico could control those elements, time was not an issue. The county spent $43 million to complete the effort in less than a year, and the semiconductor facility brought several thousand new jobs with it.
"Henrico's in a position. . . to sit down in a meeting with that prospect and begin the meeting by saying, 'All of your questions are going to be answered in this room. You don't have to leave here to get your questions answered,'" Hinson said. "It puts you in a whole different light with someone who you're discussing a major investment with in your county."
That's the type of economic development victory county officials might not have been able to imagine in the 1930s and '40s. But by the time Bill LaVecchia arrived in Henrico in 1959 – rounding out a four-person planning department – county officials were starting to grasp the ways in which controlling their own roads could serve future growth.
"I think they were beginning to see how it could," recalled LaVecchia, who spent more than three decades with the county, retiring in 1992 after eight years as county manager.
In 1959, then-County Manager Ed Beck told county administrators of his vision for Henrico.
"He said, 'We are a bedroom county for the city of Richmond. I want us to be a county that's standing on its own two feet,'" LaVecchia said. "So we started planning our land use plan and industrial areas based on roads that we had and roads that we were planning. Every time we put a [road] on that land use plan, we were looking for how that corridor would provide us with more commercial and industrial growth. In 1959, 1960, we were beginning to lay the framework for the county that has grown all up to the present time.
"It's next to impossible to control where growth is going, in either a city or county. But in Henrico, since they maintain and plan and control their roads, they are able to control their own destiny pretty well. Without those roads, most of these big developments that have occurred in Henrico County just would not be able to happen."
Among those roads are many of the most frequently traveled in the county: Parham Road, Laburnum Avenue, Glenside Drive, Hilliard Road, Ridgefield Parkway, John Rolfe Parkway, Gaskins Road, Gayton Road.
For years, Henrico officials have lobbied the General Assembly to increase the rate of reimbursement that Henrico receives for its road maintenance. State code designated that any county larger than 100 square miles that chose to maintain its own road would be paid at a lower rate than any county smaller than 100 square miles. As a result, Arlington historically has received nearly twice as much state funding per lane mile as Henrico. In the current fiscal year, Henrico receives $9,101 per lane mile – or about $12 million, divided into quarterly payments – while Arlington receives $16,121 per lane mile.
Henrico, in fact, receives less per lane mile for its entire road system – including principal roads and minor arterial roads – than the state budgets for VDOT's maintenance of small collector roads and local streets elsewhere in the state ($10,087).
A 2008 study by the General Assembly found that designating Henrico as an urban locality would cost the state an additional $8 million annually – more money than was available in the budget.
Despite apparently being short-changed by the state for years, Henrico has managed to thrive under the system anyway.
The most recent evidence will become apparent to citizens soon, as Henrico builds a $40-million intersection for Gayton Road at I-64 in the West End. The project, funded by a bond referendum, is the latest example of the county's ability to address a transportation issue on its own, rather than having to wait for state help.
"Being more responsive to citizens, being able to put the roads in in a timely manner and being able to control the entire scheme, have been the critical elements in this balanced growth," Hoffer said. "All of these roads have either nipped the congestion before it started or gotten control of it in a reasonable time."

Aqua Motion Review
Thursday, March 14, 2013
Class: Aqua Motion
What the class is: water aerobics and stretching. There are also water dumbbells that are used for extra resistance and stability.
Population of the Class: mostly later middle-age-to-elderly women. There were a few men of the same age group. I was the youngest person in the class (beside the instructor) by at least 15 years.
Hardest Part of Class: "Taco Sit-Ups." They consist of floating and laying down in the water with the arms out with the water dumbbells and doing sit-ups by folding yourself in half with the torso and legs up. These are intense crunches, not to mention trying to remain anchored and not drift aimlessly around the pool and bumping into everyone.
Sorest Body Part During Class: the balls of my feet and my toes, in general. I don't normally walk on my tiptoes, and despite being in water, my feet were about as sore as they were when I used to do ballet as a kid. Specifically, the outer part of my left ball of my foot and pinky toe were the most sore. The pool slopes slightly to become deeper, and I was over-correcting my footing by leaning on that side of my foot.
Sorest Part the Day After: my lower back. There were a lot of stretches that were done that were pretty strenuous, like the "cheerleader jump" (jumping and spreading legs/feet outward and touching the toes to the hands) and "forward jump" (the same thing, except stretching the legs straight forward to touch the feet to the hands).
Intensity: 7/10. It was pretty gentle, but it is a surprisingly tough workout to work against water.
Rating: 9/10. The class was fun. It is a gentle, but effective workout. I felt a bit out-of-place at first.
Would I Recommend the Class: Yes, I would recommend this class to anyone that would benefit from a gentler workout. Working out in the water is much easier on the joints.
Would I Take the Class Again: Yes, I would like to try other water aerobics classes, as well.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I noticed the same demographic when I went.
I think it is really a matter of you get what you put into it -- most of the exercises you can kinda go easy or float through, or you can really work your muscles if you want to.
I think I would like it more if the demographic matched me better, or if there were people younger than me in the class.

I've never done water fitness classes, but I've always wanted to try. My gym doesn't have a pool so classes like this aren't available to me. :(
Sounds like you got a good work out in!

Aquarobic and Aquafit and every name it goes by! Water workouts are one of my faves, but I do find that I am the youngest if I go. When I was in high school my sister was an instructor and she used to practice her routines with me in our pool. All the splashing and water dancing made me feel like a kid again and you get a good work out! Good for you!

I NEED A SIGN lol. :(posted 07/08/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I am now at 15 weeks and still not showing. My tummy got a little bigger but it still looks the same. I can tell it got bigger just by lying down and how my tummy looks. I have only gained three pounds. I was told I start showing at 18 weeks because I'm thin.posted 07/07/2010 by Spokane_Girl
Goes to show each woman is different. I'm 15 weeks and it seems my stomach goes up and down. After I eat, my stomach looks bigger. I diffently do have a belly bump. Some say "you haven't gained a pound." I say "thanks considering I'm expecting." They are so shocked. My mom said she carried all 3 of us small. She carried all of us full-term and born fine. So she figures I will carry "small" too. I know for sure that needed some new clothes.posted 06/30/2010 by Marvalous19
This is my first pregnancy, and I started overweight, and I'm 15 weeks today, and you cannot tell I'm pregnant. I'm a bit wider cause buttoning is a pain, but not showing at all. This thread made me feel alot better.posted 06/30/2010 by nyc1005
I know how you feel! I'm almost 15 weeks and i have only gained a pound! i also wonder when i will be showing as well! Goodluck and i hope all goes well :)posted 06/28/2010 by Kelseekae
During my first pregnancy I didn't start showing until my 6 month so no worries :)posted 06/26/2010 by nicole8726
I am also 15 weeks today and not showing one bit. You can't tell I'm pregnant unless I tell you so. But you can sort of see a bump right underneath my bellybutton if I point it out to you. Other than my breasts getting bigger you can't tell at all. It can be worrisome to not see your belly getting bigger and comparing yourself to others who are as far along as you are and they look like they're 6months pregnant. Try purchasing a fetal heart Doppler. I recently purchased one and it's amazing! I listen to my baby's heartbeat every single day and it eases my mind completely. I have also lost 10lbs and have been dealing with the loss of appetite. I've been feeling those little flutters of the baby moving for a couple of weeks now. It's weird because everyone tells me it's impossible but they haven't stopped and it's not gas. Well just know that everyone's body and baby's are different. Everything will be fine, it's normal! :) Good luck to everyone!!posted 06/22/2010 by 1StXMaMi2bE
I have had my son now and I was in the same boat. I have always been tiny and never needed to worry about calories and when I was pregnant I almost felt like I needed to WORK to gain weight for my baby. I did not show until I was six or seven months, but once I started showing it didn't stop! I gained a whoppin fifty pounds, I was eating right aside from the occasional doughnut, and I never thought I would gain more than the low 25! Don't worry too much about it because before you know it, you might be gaining more than you hoped.posted 06/19/2010 by Mom4school
dont worry i feel the same way. i havent really gained weight either, but my doctor said everything is looking healthy and that the baby is fine. its weird though because my belly seems to be getting bigger more lower. i cant wait until i have a big belly. :) i wish the best for you, and no worries everything is fineposted 06/15/2010 by smartgirlrb91
It feels good to know that i `am not alone. i was worried but my midwfe at the clinic was not, so i thought it is probably normal. After that i went to see my doctor and he said he see any problem. this is a relief for me.posted 06/15/2010 by thabisoledwaba

I'm sorry, but if you can't distinguish between states that have BIKES FRAP laws and states that have SMV FRAP laws applicable to bicyclists, i think taking a look at what the topic is about, maybe rereading the original post might help you firm up the rudiments of the discussion.
practicable in law means 'what a reasonable person could put into practice.' it doesn't mean 'take the lane if its unsafe to share'
there is some implied safe road positioning away from the edge under any frap requirement, but it is only implied. in california and new york and florida and washington and many other states with BIKES FRAP laws this is explicit in the wording of the law.
bicyclists in states with just SMV FRAP laws are required to frap far more frequently and in much more restrictive ways than how some of the 'bicycle drivers' choose to mischaracterize those SMV FRAP laws.

This is the first part of a (surely long and rambling) series on findings from Universalist records at Harvard Divinity School's library archives. My thanks to Fran O'Donnell and Jessica Suarez of the Andover-Harvard Theological Library for making my visit possible. I love combing through these Hollinger boxes. Evidence of Yankee thrift abounds. Serious business — which today would be shipped by courier or with tracking numbers, or protected with encryption — went by typed postcard. But one of their habits — one I share — revealed some glorious relics. Make old print jobs into scrap paper; the other side has a use you know. So mundane memos preserve scraps of design choices. Here are a couple I caught.
Category: Design and typography
Public-domain off-center cross
With due respect to the designer of the off-center cross here, this one — with thinner lines and a smaller cross; I made it about as high as the circle radius — looks more like the ones I've seen used by mid-century post-Christian Universalists. Its later, and I think unintentionally ironic, adoption by Christians notwithstanding.
For Universalist Christianity, I'd suggest an anchor or heralding angel as more appropriate, but that's for later.
In the spirit of the original, I also dedicate these graphic files to the public domain.

Observations from the Unitarian Universalist website scan
Some notes from my quick survey of Unitarian Universalist websites. This speak to the broad middle in quality; I'll be writing about the really amazing ones and some deeply problematic habits another time.
- Second Unitarian, Chicago, which uses Potanto Sans
- Sacred Journey Fellowship, Garland, Texas, which uses Yanone Kaffeesatz and Droid Sans (yes, like on a phone)
- Community Church of North Orange and Tully, Massachusetts
- Red Hill Universalist Church, Clinton, N.C.
- Outlaw's Bridge Universaist Church, Seven Springs, N.C.
Mozilla style guide inspiring to read
With all the recent talk about the new Unitarian Universalist Association visual standard, it was a pleasure to run across another way of approaching the task. Mozilla, who produces the popular Firefox browser, has its entire style guide available for review on its website. You can also download its open-source standard font, Open Sans. It's full of interesting design choices, and it just makes me feel better about Firefox.
The whole suite might inspire a design-forward congregation to adopt similar parts of a standard for its own branding. A cmmon font free to share would be a plus, and congregations would also benefit from templates for often-used documents.
Double circle symbol for you to use
OK, the flaming nectarine was a bit of fun, but here's something that might be more useful. The linked, double circles are an older emblem of the Unitarian and Universalist consolidation, and deserve some attention, at least in "communion of the churches" settings. It uses the gradient standard of the new UUA visual identity.

This blog in five themes, on my phone
So, continuing the thread about the "twenties" default WordPress themes, I thought I'd see what this blog would look like in an untouched version, Twenty Ten to Twenty Fourteen. (I've already tweeked Twenty Thirteen for this blog, and while I adore each of you, I'm not reverting it for this blog post.)
I chose this blog so I wouldn't be thought to be picking on (or praising) a particular congregation. Will pick up on what this may mean later.
Reviewing Unitarian Universalist websites
For the last three days, I've made quick-and-dirty survey of all Unitarian Universalist congregational websites. Most are acceptable, if improvable. Some very good. But too many are homely, underpowered or just plain ugly. About 18 are down or broken, at least right now. Two or three have let their domains expire. And some congregations have no web presence at all. And what about mobile devices?
As I go through the hundreds of websites — getting an impression of the front pages — I'm sorting some of them into the following categories:
- The very basic (though not necessarily bad)
- The shockingly ugly (though perhaps technologically serviceable)
- Those which use very slightly altered WordPress default templates
- Lost or non-loading sites
In addition I've been taking notes; I've found three examples of the new UUA logo already in use, in case anyone was curious. One. Two. Three.
Without embarrassing any particular congregation (but I might praise a couple) I'll report on what I found later. An actionable step away our too-common culture of shabbiness.
The new (real) UUA logos are up
Along with a (partial?) rollout of the new identity at UUA.org, you can download the new logos at the following page: http://uua.org/communications/art/uuachalice/index.shtml
I wish the permitted usage was clearer. A copy of the identity standard would be helpful, too.
Here's a (there are others) monochrome version, in case you're curious, scaled at 20%
The logo that has something for everyone
Something for your enjoyment. Who says you can have it both ways?
A Universalist reference to the flaming chalice?
So, historic hashing of prior iterations and influences of the flaming chalice symbol has been going on on Facebook. No place to have a public conversation, so when the "it's a Unitarian (not Universalist) thing" card got thrown, I knew I had to chime in and thus blog about it.
I'm no fan of the flaming chalice symbol, and so I've kept this tidbit to myself. Years ago, back when I still lived in Georgia, the widow of a former Universalist minister sought me out to receive some of her husband's collection of Universalist ephemera.
In it was this Lenten meditation manual from 1948.
In case you don't recognize the author's name and want proof of its Universalist provenance.
Oh, and lookie there, as I read on. No copyright notice. It's fallen into the public domain. Might have to do something with that.

Developer: Pols can't keep approving new casinos
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Casinos are not like Starbucks stores: You really can't have one on every corner.
That's the word from David Cordish, whose company is opening a huge new casino next month in Maryland.
Yet Cordish warns that the expansion of casino gambling can't go on unchecked forever. A big problem is the attitude of politicians across the country who view casinos as free money.
"I don't know how we can control the politicians; they certainly don't understand the word `oversaturation,'" Cordish said. "They think you can have casinos like Starbucks."
If that attitude continues, Cordish said, "it's going to implode on them."
That sentiment was voiced repeatedly at The East Coast Gaming Congress, a major annual casino industry conference, held this year in the newly opened Revel casino resort in Atlantic City. The $2.4 billion Revel is being counted on to help turn around Atlantic City's five-year slump. But several experts at the forum said the solution to Atlantic City's woes is the closure of one or more of its 12 casinos because there are simply too many.
"Here in Atlantic City, we have assets for sale that literally nobody wants to buy," said Gary Loveman, president of Caesars Entertainment, which counts four Atlantic City gambling halls among its 56 casinos. "There is simply too much supply in Atlantic City. The supply doesn't go away. That's a very bad thing. The problem here? Nobody ever closes."
During a panel of Wall Street experts, Andrew Zarnett, managing director of Deutsche Bank Securities, said Revel might hurt, rather than help, Atlantic City's overall casino market.
"Everybody's a loser; when you add supply to a market that's not growing very much, everybody gets cannibalized," he said. "We need some of this capacity to close and go away. I would have thought that would have happened two years ago, but the properties are still here."
Zarnett said he doubts any Atlantic City casino will close until they see whether New Jersey will approve Internet gambling and throw the struggling properties a lifeline. He also predicted that New York will approve a casino in Manhattan within five years.
Not all the news from Atlantic City was bad, though: Figures released Thursday by state regulators showed the casinos saw a 17 percent increase in gross operating profit for the first quarter of this year, following a 26 percent increase in the fourth quarter of last year.
The expansion of casino gambling has continued rapidly over the last several years, nowhere more fiercely than in the Northeast. There is serious disagreement within the industry as to whether the market is oversaturated or whether there is room for further growth. But most agree it is tougher to do business in the Northeast casino market than it ever has been before.
The Cordish Co.'s Maryland Live!, opening on June 6, will have 4,750 slot machines and cost $500 million.
"Thanks, David, for bringing 4,700 new slots to this market," joked Don Marrandino, eastern division president of Caesars Entertainment. "That's great news for us."
Cordish said the casino market needs the stability of knowing how many operators there are going to be, particularly with the 67 percent tax Maryland imposes on its casinos.
He said the state will have four casinos with more slot machines "than anything in Las Vegas. It's an experiment that nobody knows how it's going to turn out. A contest I don't want to win is Maryland will probably be the king of the oversaturated market with the highest tax rate. It's a real problem.
"What happens when you put mega-casinos close together is they generally not only oversaturate the market, they don't work," Cordish said. In the Washington, D.C., region soon, he added, "you'll have four of the largest casinos in the country operating within a short drive of one another."
