Named for Lake Erie. Erie is also the name of a tribe of Indians who lived south and east of the lake before 1654. Over half of Erie County was located in an area called the Erie Triangle. This area was under claim by Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania. These four states surrendered their claims to the federal government, which in turn sold this area to Pennsylvania in 1792.
Description[edit | edit source]
The county was named for Lake Erie. It's county seat is Erie. It was organized November 7, 1803. It is located in the Northwest corner of the state.[4]
Boundary Changes[edit | edit source]
In 1850 a boundary line dispute between Erie and Crawford counties was settled. The line was straightened and a long, narrow strip of land was added to Erie County and some land was added to Crawford County. A number of Crawford County citizens became residents of Erie County and a less number of Erie County residents were shifted to Crawford County.[5]
For animated maps illustrating Pennsylvania county boundary changes, "Rotating Formation Pennsylvania County Boundary Maps" (1673-1878) may be viewed for free at the MapofUS.org website.

Court of Common Pleas[edit | edit source]
The Courts of Common Pleas are the trial courts of Pennsylvania. Major civil and criminal cases are heard in these courts. Judges also decide cases involving adoption, divorce, child custody, abuse, juvenile delinquency, estates, guardianships, charitable organizations and many other matters. The Common Pleas courts are organized into 60 judicial districts. Erie County has its own judicial district. Judges of the Common Pleas courts are elected to 10-year terms. A president judge and a court administrator serve in each judicial district.[7]
Clerk of the Court[edit | edit source]
The Clerk of Courts prepares and maintains the records for the Criminal Division of the Court of Common Pleas. The Clerk signs and affixes the Seal of the Courts to all writs and processes, administers oaths and affirmations, and assumes custody of the seal and records of the Courts. The Clerk certifies and distributes orders of the Court. The Clerk also certifies and prepares bills of costs for the defendants and utilizes the computerized financial management system to disburse fines, costs and restitution.[8] For the Erie County, Pennsylvania Genealogy Clerk of Courts address see the Courthouse section on this page.

Orphans' Court[edit | edit source]
See Vital Records
The Orphans' Court is responsible for a wide range of matters.

This would include those not capable of handling their own affairs, minors, incapacitated persons, decedents estates, nonprofit corporations and trusts. It is the role of the Court to ensure that the best interests of the person or entity are not compromised.

Synapse Lyrics
Opiate magnet, it's thirst and it was pulling. We met in the earth while I laid on dry dirt. I humbly serve you, Queen of the dragon. Chasing, raping, killing, dying, freezing, lying to your loved ones. Stealing, you are the eater of mens' souls. So you burned me again like a moth to the flame. Drown in her depths. (Slay me) Swim in her shame, corroding like rust as she tears you apart. I am the product, rotten offspring of the needle. Chemical synapse dictates behavior. A fool if bought my lies, I'd sell your soul to the devil if it'd get me high. Lysergic chemical drip, methadone wasteland. My days burn together, my nights in a nod drowning. You're killing me, you know I'll submit every time Sell me a lie, make me alive

There are some pretty damn good beers, and apparently the whiskeys are world class. There is also no lack of demand for wine in Japan, so I'd been wondering about this one for a while when I finally found an answer in Friday's International Herald Tribune:
Japanese wineries betting on a reviled grape
To summarize, the weather conditions means that the vinifera grapes that are common in most great wine growing nations end up rotting in Japan. Most vineyards therefore use a local variant called koshu which is more resistant to the summer and autumn rains. Unfortunately, this grape is quite bitter, leading to most wine growers to add lots of sugar.

Abrasive blasting is a major application which requires high quality, reliable compressed air. Historically, this application has created a lot of dust, and without extensive safety precautions has many potential health hazards for users, along with a number of
environmental concerns.
GRACO has come up with EcoQuip2, a solution to address some of the issues associated with the application and market segment. EcoQuip2 runs on Vapor Abrasive Technology. Here, the abrasive media is no longer dry; but is maintained moist by adding water in the abrasive hopper. The result is a virtually dust free application site, with up to 92% dust reduction. The new technology focusses on faster, cleaner, greener. Providing a triple benefit for everyone.
GRACO has planned a marketing initiative in the form of a Truck Tour. They propose to cover 70 locations across Europe in three months. We are partnering with them by providing a XAHS 237 Stage 4 unit.
- Perfect flow and pressure for this application - delivering 14.5 m3/min at 12 bar.
- Easy to tow and move – single axle chassis
with adjustable tow bar (weight below 3500 Kg).
- Three layer paint protection – perfect for abrasive work environments.
- Ergonomically designed air flow system – maximizing operator comfort.
- XC2003 controller.
- Stage 4 compliant MTU engine.
- Wide list of options, allowing customization.
The quality of a blast job is only as good as the air that is being provided. When it comes to live demonstrations, we need performance, reliability and to show our products in the very best light. Our new Vapor Abrasive Blast Equipment allows you to expand your business with different applications. The vision is to make operations faster, cleaner and greener. Atlas Copco is the perfect partner to make this vision a reality."

espartz necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 46 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
GivesMeHope is a website that receives over 1.2 million unique visitors per month. We recently were offered a book deal.
GivesMeHope contains short, inspirational Twitter-length stories submitted by users based on their own experiences. Think Chicken Soup For the Soul, one-paragraph stories. If you know the website Fmylife.com, it's the exact opposite. The stories are so uplifting it's been called "The Other Suicide Hotline".
Primarily women. All ages.
The book will be 6in by 6in, full-color. Each page will comprise of a GivesMeHope story told visually. The winning bidder will be given credit in the book, and allowed to use in bidder's portfolio. My previous book was a New York Times bestseller so we're expecting this book to sell very well.
For examples of the book's content, go here: http://gmhbook.snapfish.com
Log in with this info:
User: firstname.lastname@example.com
Pass: designers87
Required: The text all needs to be included verbatim. The current cover "pops" as we'd planned but doesn't properly convey the visual nature of the book's contents. The current cover is somewhat boring - it looks too much like a dictionary. The circle in the middle is there to draw eyes to it and the yellow was chosen because it is a loud color.
Feel free to try different fonts. The fonts used on this cover are: Kozuka Mincho Pro, Kozuka Gothic Pro, Tall Paul
Important: the cover needs to be VERY VERY LOUD - the first thing your eye sees if you're scanning a bookshelf. Given this, the use of a bright color is necessary. But it needs to be a bit more artistic, like the rest of the book. I'd say the current cover is 70% complete. So, two words: loud and artistic.
I will provide guidance and rapid feedback through the process.

On any given Saturday, you'll find a motley crew assembled outside the nondescript gray building on Hollywood Road, west of downtown Atlanta. An elderly couple walks tentatively behind a large black Labrador, a kid with chubby cheeks totes a feisty Chihuahua, and a trio of teens bound out of their parent's minivan with a brindle pit bull named Kola in tow. They join at least a dozen other pet owners for free obedience classes offered by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) through its Pets for Life program. Designed to support people and pets in underserved communities, Pets for Life welcomes all breeds. But an overwhelming majority of the four-legged students that arrive each week are pit bulls or pit mixes.
On busy days, cars slow their pace and kids peer through the chain link fence to watch these muscular dogs work for treats alongside cocker spaniels, Jack Russell terriers, and even an occasional poodle. The six-week training program ends with dogs taking the Canine Good Citizen test, followed by a graduation party where neighbors gather to watch students demonstrate new tricks. In less than a year, HSUS has begun to chip away at the city's perception of pit bulls as dog-fighting monsters. But the D.C.-based organization faces a bigger battle in its own backyard.
Maryland's Court of Appeals recently ruled that pit bulls and pit bull mixes are "inherently dangerous." The decision stems from a case involving a pit bull named Clifford that escaped from its pen twice, severely injuring two children on the same day. Plaintiffs sued the dog's owner and the landlord. Maryland's Court of Appeals ruling means that dog owners — and their landlords — are responsible for any injuries caused by pit bulls or pit bull mixes. Pit bull owners, rescue groups and nonprofit organizations have criticized the ruling, which places breed-specific legislation back in the spotlight.
Last December, a retired police officer Jim Sak and his pit bull service dog made headlines by challenging a breed ban in Aurelia, Iowa. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, any breed can work as a service dog. The U.S. District Court in Sioux City granted a temporary injunction, reuniting Snickers and Sak, who credits his pit bull with detecting early signs of cancer. In July, Sak and Snickers will argue their case before a jury. In the meantime, Maryland pit bull owners — and their landlords — face tough choices. The Baltimore Sun reports of early fallout from the ruling, including landlords threatening pit bull owners with eviction. HSUS has responded with advice to renters who own pit bulls, along with links to pet-friendly rental properties on its website.
Also on MNN: Maryland court declares pit bulls 'inherently dangerous'
Wanted, pit-friendly housing
Erin Sullivan regularly leases her Maryland property to pet owners, including pit bulls. She requires pets to be spayed or neutered and tenants must sign a lease addendum promising never to leave the dog outside unattended. Dogs also should be up to date on vaccinations, and a Canine Good Citizenship Certification certainly helps. Although she lives and works as an editor in Orlando, Fla., Sullivan also makes frequent visits to Maryland. Even with these precautions, she was alarmed by the court ruling.
"I don't think pit bull owners should be locked out of the rental market," says Sullivan, who has two pit bulls and one pit mix. "I don't believe a pit bull as a breed is any more dangerous. I will judge each dog as an individual. If a person comes with a small white mutt and I think they won't be responsible, they aren't getting in."
The American Society for the Prevention Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) also opposes Maryland's ruling. Its newly established legal advocacy department will target civil and criminal cases that could substantially impact animal welfare, providing support to attorneys and drafting bills for its government relations department, which will monitor legislation based on the recent court ruling.
"It will have a really devastating impact on folks in Maryland," says Stacy Wolf, vice president and chief counsel of the legal advocacy department. "It's bad in a whole lot of ways, but maybe most importantly, it doesn't do a lot to protect people from dogs of all breeds, it doesn't put the onus on owners and it judges the dog." She adds that dogs of any breed, even if friendly, can cause trouble if not properly supervised.

How did we get here?
Every decade, a different breed gets labeled as the problem pooch, says dog trainer and police officer Mike Upshur. In the '70s, he remembers Dobermans getting a bad rap, followed by German shepherds in the '80s and powerful Rottweilers in the '90s. The American Kennel Club describes each breed as a protective and loyal family pet that requires lots of exercise. Its description of pit bulls, also known as American Staffordshire terriers, is no different.
"The Am Staff is a people-oriented dog that thrives when he is made part of the family and given a job to do," according to the AKC site. "Although friendly, this breed is loyal to his family and will protect them from any threat. His short coat is low-maintenance, but regular exercise and training is necessary."
Originally bred for bull baiting in England, pit bulls gained favor stateside for their athletic build and extreme tenacity, traits that made pit bulls the breed of choice among dog fighters, says Upshur. A series of high-profile dog-fighting cases led to stricter penalties for people who attend or participate in dog fighting. Incidents of pit bulls or pit mixes attacking people also led to increased media coverage. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 4.7 million dog bites occur each year, and 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for their injuries.
In its 20-year study of fatal dog attacks, the CDC noted that at least 25 breeds of dogs have been involved in 238 human dog-bite related fatalities between 1979 and 1998, with pit bull-type dogs and Rottweilers linked to more than half of these deaths. But Upshur says many people gravitated to pit bulls without doing the research — or taking time to exercise and socialize this powerful breed on a regular basis.
In his role as a police officer, Upshur has witnessed the aftermath of dog attacks. Many of the cases involved unsocialized dogs that broke free from chains in the back yard. Thirty-three people lost their lives in dog bite-related incidents in 2010, according to the National Canine Research Council, which reports that 21 of the cases involved resident dogs that owners kept isolated on chains, in junkyards, or allowed their dogs to roam unattended.
"I see it all the time while I'm on patrol," Upshur says. "It's a shame, it really is. But there are other dogs out there attacking people. They just don't get publicity."

Changing perceptions
Upshur recommends that pit bull owners enroll in training courses and walk their dogs regularly, at least three times a week, to help the dog burn energy and avoid destructive behavior. He says the breed can be easy to train because pit bulls love pleasing their owners. "Unfortunately, people are not doing that, and it's given pit bulls a bad name," he says.
"They look at the color and say 'I want that one,'" he says. "People get a willful pit bull or a pit bull puppy and don't have time to work with it, then the dog gets bored. If you don't have time to spend with a dog, you don't want a pit bull. A lot of people just put the dog in a fenced-in yard and say the dog gets plenty of exercise, but the dog needs to stimulate its mind just like people do."
As founder and president of the Atlanta Underdog Initiative, Ami Ciontos carefully vets prospective dog owners before adopting out pit bulls. She offers plenty of information about the breed, along with a laundry list of dos and don'ts.
"I want to make sure that whomever I adopt to is educated about the breed," she says. "We want to make sure they understand the stigma about the breed and that they are held to a higher standard. I tell people right off the bat, if you want a dog park type dog, a dog you can just run off-leash, please do not get a pit bull."
Upshur says pit bull owners can change how the breed is perceived. Consistent obedience training helps ensure that willful puppies don't turn into domineering older dogs. Education about the breed also can make a difference for the dog and the owner.
"When you bring a dog into your life, you're making a connection with that animal and it does become a part of your family," says Sullivan, who will continue leasing her Maryland home to pit bull owners. "As a landlord, I feel even more responsible than if I lived in the house. I tend to be maybe a little more diligent. As a pitbull owner, I have to go above and beyond to show that I am responsible. I don't ever want my neighbors, my friends, my family to think, 'Here comes Erin again with her dogs.'"

OLYMPIC COMMEMORATIVE APPRAREL ON SALE: USA Volleyball has unveiled five commemorative logo designs to appear on apparel saluting USA Volleyball's medal successes at the recent Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in Beijing.

Sizes XXL and larger have a slightly higher price. USA Volleyball's success on the Olympic grand stage in Beijing has never been achieved by any other nation since volleyball was added to the Olympics in 1964. The U.S. Olympic Men's Indoor Volleyball Team, which was named the United States Olympic Committee Team of the Month for August 2008, captured the gold medal at the Olympic Games without losing a single match. Women's Beach Volleyball (Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh) and Men's Beach Volleyball (Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers) both came back from Beijing with Olympic Games gold medals. The U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Team captured the silver medal in Beijing, as did the U.S. Women's Sitting Team during the Paralympic Games. No other country has ever participated in the gold-medal match of all four Olympic Games volleyball disciplines during the same year. Team USA added a fifth gold-medal appearance at the Paralympic Games.
2009 PAN AMERICAN CUP COMING TO MIAMI: USA Volleyball will host the Eighth Annual Women's Pan American Cup June 26-July 4 in conjunction with the USA Junior Olympic Girls' Volleyball Championship in the Miami area. The nine-day Pan American Cup, which will tentatively have three of the four 2008 Olympic Games semifinalists (Brazil, USA and Cuba), will be played on the campuses of the University of Miami and Florida International University. "USA Volleyball is extremely excited about the opportunity to host one of the largest international volleyball events in Miami and to pair it with the 2009 USA Junior Olympic Girls' Volleyball Championships," USA Volleyball Chief Executive Officer Doug Beal said. "It will provide a unique opportunity for our developing young volleyball players to be exposed to elite international volleyball teams from North America, South America and the Caribbean. The two events will also generate terrific excitement in the community and lead to greater popularity for the sport." USA Volleyball is hosting its first-ever Women's Pan American Cup, which serves as a qualifying event into the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix. The event is the largest international volleyball event hosted by USA Volleyball in terms of country participation. Team USA has not hosted a women's senior-level international tournament since the 1998 FIVB World Championship Qualifier tournament in 1998. Due to international scheduling and professional league commitments, matches on domestic soil have become a rarity with only seven contests against foreign teams in the most recent Olympic quadrennial (2005-2008).

Twin Oaks is an intentional community in rural central Virginia, made up of around 90 adult members and 15 children. Since the community's beginning in 1967, our way of life has reflected our values of cooperation, sharing, nonviolence, equality, and ecology. We welcome you to schedule a visit.
Due to concerns around the spread of COVID-19 coronoavirus, we have cancelled the March and April Visitor Periods, and have cancelled Saturday tours for the foreseeable future.
We are currently scheduling for May and beyond but that may change depending how everything unfolds. We will be looking for new members at that time, so if you are interested please do schedule a Three-Week Visitor Period for the summer or later.
We do not have a group religion; our beliefs are diverse. We do not have a central leader; we govern ourselves by a form of democracy with responsibility shared among various managers, planners, and committees. We are self-supporting economically, and partly self-sufficient. We are income-sharing. Each member works 42 hours a week in the community's business and domestic areas. Each member receives housing, food, healthcare, and personal spending money from the community.
Our hammocks and casual furniture business has generated most of our income in the past. Making tofu as of 2011 has become roughly equal in importance to hammocks. Indexing books and now seed growing are also significant sources of income. Still, less than half of our work goes into these income-producing activities; the balance goes into a variety of tasks that benefit our quality of life—including milking cows, gardening, cooking, and childcare. Most people prefer doing a variety of work, rather than the same job day in, day out.
A number of us choose to be politically active in issues of peace, ecology, anti-racism, and feminism. Each summer we host a Women's Gathering, Queer Gathering, and Communities Conference where we welcome both experienced communitarians, and seekers who are new to community living.
We give tours of Twin Oaks almost every Saturday afternoon from March through October, and on most alternating Saturdays from November through February. Read about the Saturday Tour here. Due to concerns about COVID-19 coronavirus, we have cancelled Saturday Tours for the forseeable future.
We offer a structured three week visit designed to give the visitor some general education and experience in living at Twin Oaks. Read about the Visitor Program here
Please do not drop in and expect to get a tour or be able to stay overnight. Tours and visits must always be pre-arranged, and to be a guest here, a member must agree to be your host before you arrive.

Email Us
When communicating with us by email please do not send attachments. Please send only plain text email, not HTML formatted mail. When you write, please tell us how/where you heard about Twin Oaks. If it was through another website, we'd like to know which one, and the URL if possible.

"The Bells" wasn't just a big battle episode. It was the second-to-last episode of the season, which has traditionally been a big one (the so-called "episode nine", though the term obviously doesn't apply these last few shortened seasons.) It's also the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones ever. With those stakes, one would expect the viewership numbers to go through the roof. If they were ever going to, this was the time.
Oh, boy, did they!

DriftWatch ™ was designed by staff from the Purdue University Agricultural and Biological Engineering and Agricultural Communications departments with input and support from Purdue University Cooperative Extension Specialists. It is now operated by FieldWatch, Inc, a non-profit company created by Purdue in collaboration with interested agricultural stakeholder groups. For more information, visit www.fieldwatch.com.
This DriftWatch registry tool is meant to help pesticide applicators and specialty crop growers communicate more effectively to promote awareness and stewardship activities to help prevent and manage drift effects. Our data set is overseen by state-appointed stewards who verify each area submitted to the registry. The boundaries on the map are not property lines, but user-submitted specialty site designations. Furthermore, DriftWatch is not intended to be a registry for homeowners or for sites less than half an acre in size.
This site features a powerful map interface that clearly shows applicators the locations of registered specialty sites so they can use the information in their ongoing stewardship activities before they spray.
In addition to user-submitted sensitive crops, the map interface provides other data layers that give further insight into sensitive and protected areas, as well as help identify county/township/section jurisdicions.
