Donor: Pebble Hill Plantation, Thomasville, Georgia
Date Range: c. 1917-c. 1976
Pebble Hill Plantation located just outside of Thomasville, Georgia, was one of the winter homes of the Howard Melville Hanna family of Cleveland, Ohio, which made its fortune in shipping, tobacco, and oil. Howard Melville Hanna first purchased the Melrose Plantation in Thomasville in 1896 and gave it to his son, Howard, Jr., in 1901. Shortly thereafter, he purchased Pebble Hill and gave it to his daughter Kate Hanna Ireland Harvey. Kate's two children were Livingston Ireland (1895-1982), known as "Liv", and Elisabeth Ireland Poe (1897-1978), known as "Pansy". Kate raised prize-winning Jersey cattle at Pebble Hill and Pansy was known for her horse riding skills. Pansy was the last family member to live at the plantation's main house and it was her wish that the property become the historic house museum and environmental preserve it is today.
The home movie collection features Pansy, Liv, and members of the extended Hanna family (notably, Howard Hanna, Jr., his wife, Claire, and their children) at Pebble Hill and in Kentucky and Ohio, friends and plantation workers, a summer home in Maine, and animals (mostly horses and dogs) that were part of life at Pebble Hill. Several reels feature horse shows and jumping events, some being commercially-made films about such events in the 1920s. Other home movies are typical of the genre and show Christmas holidays at home, travel scenes abroad, and summertime at a swimming pool or the beach, however, the bulk of the films have to do with riding or hunting.
Since Pebble Hill was a self-sustaining property, life there included tenant workers who lived on the property and who were a major part of its daily operations. Several reels show glimpses of African-Americans on the property: one in which the Pebble Hill baseball team is playing against another plantation's team, one showing two men with drums at an unidentified outdoor event, a man at the property's dog kennels, and a man training dogs to hunt a fox.
Two reels show noted artist J. Clinton Shepherd (1888-1975) painting the wildlife murals depicting forests, waterfowl, raccoons, turkeys, and deer which decorate the Great Room in Pebble Hill's main house.
Included in the donation are 70 episodes of a syndicated hunting and fishing television show from the 1950s called The Sportsman's Club. Not all episodes donated have been identified as to content or date aired. The program was created by and starred renaissance man David Newell (1898-1986), who was an author/folklorist, newspaper reporter, editor of Field and Stream, hunter, explorer, and photographer who was part of the famous Mato Grosso Expedition to Brazil in 1931. Newell's co-stars on the television program are Gale Borden, II (great-grandson of Gail Borden, who invented condensed milk and founded the Borden Co.), and Len Stokes. The program was produced by Mode-Art Pictures, Inc. and distributed through Syndicated Films of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Three commercially produced films in the collection were made by David Newell.
The collection is not yet fully processed and is being transferred to new media formats for ease of viewing. Please note that some reels donated are not in transferrable condition and so access to them is either extremely limited or not available; those reels are not listed on the finding aid.

Reality manipulation via cosmic powered ring
Freedom Ring (real name Curtis Doyle) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Robert Kirkman. Curtis first appeared in Marvel Team-Up vol. 3 #20 (July 2006), becoming Freedom Ring in the next issue. He appeared across the series' storyline "Freedom Ring" for five issues. The character is depicted as a normal civilian who comes across a ring that grants him the ability to alter reality.
Kirkman intended Freedom Ring to be an example of a superhero who demonstrated inexperience with his superpowers, as he felt that most superheroes quickly adjusting to their powers and having a successful superhero career did not reflect reality. When asked by a fan about the number of visibly gay comic book superheroes, Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics, Joe Quesada, also touted the Freedom Ring as Marvel's leading gay hero. However, in the next issue, the character was killed, leading to controversy and accusations of homophobia from some comic book reviewers.
Kirkman defended his writing decision as having "nothing but good intentions," highlighting his original concept of "an inexperienced hero who would get beaten up constantly and probably die," claiming that Freedom Ring's sexuality was merely an attempt to simultaneously write a well-rounded ordinary male character who happened to be gay. Later, Kirkman admitted that he regretted killing Freedom Ring due to the relatively limited number of gay characters in mainstream comics.
Publication history[edit]
Freedom Ring first appeared as a civilian, "Curtis Doyle" in Marvel Team-Up vol. 3 #20 as part of the five-issue "Freedom Ring" storyline.[1] The character adopts the Freedom Ring superhero persona in the next issue.[2] The character is featured in the storyline until Issue #24, when he is killed in battle.[3][4][5] The series was canceled by Issue #25.[6]
Fictional character biography[edit]
After the Master of the Ring story arc in Marvel Team-Up concludes, Captain America arrives to take the reality-altering ring that the Ringmaster was wearing into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. However, A.I.M. sent a group of soldiers called a M.O.D.O.C. (Military Operatives Designed Only for Combat) Squad to fight Cap for an unknown reason and Captain America does not notice when the ring is lost.[1]
The ring is eventually found by a young man, Curtis Doyle, whose friend Troy calls it a "free, dumb ring". This comment gives Curtis the idea for his superhero name. When he accidentally creates an ice cream sundae out of thin air, he discovers that the ring gives him the ability to alter reality. He runs away terrified, but when he returns, he finds that the sundae has disappeared without a trace. He calls Troy, and later, they have a long night of super-power practice.[1][2]
The next day while Curtis is on a date with Jeffrey, a waiter from a diner that he frequented, the Abomination attacks nearby and Curtis runs off to fight him. While fighting Abomination along with Spider-Man and the X-Men, Curtis was seriously injured. Spider-Man rushed him to the hospital while the X-Men defeat the Abomination.[2]
Curtis recovers, but is told he will never walk again.[4] Troy helps him return home, and Curtis uses the ring to restore his legs. Going after Troy, who just left, he finds that his neighbor is an undercover Skrull who was sent to monitor the Avengers just before they disassembled. Losing track of them, the Skrull turns his spy equipment toward his neighbors. He knows everything about Curtis, and having decided to become a superhero himself (dubbed the Crusader), asks Curtis if he wishes to be his partner.[4]
Curtis is unsure, given what happened with the Abomination, but the Crusader convinces Curtis that he can do it, because if he fixed his legs, he can make himself stronger and faster, and less reliant on conjuring up the right item. Curtis agrees, making himself stronger, and practices with the Crusader for two weeks.[4] In a later battle with Iron Maniac, who had just defeated Spider-Man and Wolverine and was currently facing Captain America, Luke Cage and Spider-Woman, Curtis reveals the source of his power. Though he is able to immobilize the villain, Curtis does not expect Iron Maniac's armor to expand outwards. When it does, his ring finger is sliced off and his body is pierced by the armor multiple times.[5]
Captain America is able to defeat Iron Maniac, but it is too late to save Curtis, who is dead. Captain America notes that they didn't even know him and yet he saved them all by buying them time to recover.[5]
The ring is then acquired by Crusader,[5] who utilizes it as a member of the Initiative during the Skrull Secret Invasion. The ring is last seen with Crusader as it whisks him away to parts unknown after he is shot in the head by Skrull Kill Krew member, 3-D Man.
Powers and abilities[edit]
Curtis Doyle originally had no inherent super-powers on his own. However, the character comes into possession of a ring crafted from a fragment of a destroyed Cosmic Cube which allows the wearer to alter reality within a radius of roughly 15 feet (4.6m) around him, giving him a 30-foot (9.1 m) sphere of reality he can alter.[7]
After his first attempt as Freedom Ring, he altered his physiology to give himself superhuman strength, speed, stamina and durability.
Robert Kirkman on Freedom Ring's character[edit]
Curtis's death was met with some negative reactions, including accusations of homophobia from gay comic book sites Gay League and Prism Comics, specifically because Joe Quesada touted him as Marvel Comics' leading gay hero a month prior to his death.[8]
Robert Kirkman commented on the controversy, stating
|Freedom Ring was always planned as an inexperienced hero who would get beaten up constantly and probably die. I wanted to comment on the fact that most superheroes get their powers and are okay at it... and that's not how life works. During working on the book, I was also noticing that most gay characters... are all about being gay. Straight characters are well-rounded characters who like chicks. So I wanted to do a well-rounded character who just happened to like dudes. Then I decided to combine the two ideas. In hindsight, yeah, killing a gay character is no good when there are so few of them... but I really had only the best of intentions in mind."[9]
Kirkman later confirmed his opinion, stating,
|"Frankly, with the SMALL amount of gay characters in comics in general, and how unfortunate the portrayals have been thus far, whether intentional or not—I completely understand the backlash on the death of Freedom Ring, regardless of my intentions. If I had it to do all over again... I wouldn't kill him. I regret it more and more as time goes on. I got rid of what?[sic] 20% of the gay characters at Marvel by killing off this ONE character. I just never took that stuff into consideration while I was writing."[9]

If you'd like to take courses at two schools at once, the UO's dual enrollment program may be for you. Enrolling at both the UO and a community college has many benefits. You must be admitted to both institutions, and complete the additional application form available below or at the respective community college.
Application Terms and Deadlines
You may dual enroll at the University of Oregon and one of two community colleges. To apply for the UO/Lane Community College program, complete this application form. To apply for the UO/Southwestern Oregon Community College program, complete this application form. You may also ask for a paper copy at your community college or at the UO.
The dual application deadline is three weeks before the first day of classes for fall term and two weeks for winter, spring, and summer terms. Dual students must be admitted to the UO by the dual application deadlines. The deadline for cancellation is the Friday of the first week of classes.
Some academic majors require an additional application and have an earlier deadline.
Admissions Criteria
Begin the application process by meeting these criteria:
If you have completed 35 or fewer transferable quarter credits (23 semester credits), admission is based on both your high school and your college work. You must meet admission requirements for both freshmen and transfer students. If you have completed 36 or more quarter credits (24 of which must be graded), your admission is based only on your college-level course work.
Remember, fulfilling the program's minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. In addition, admission to some academic majors requires submission of an additional application by an earlier deadline. Some programs also require submission of additional documents.
Application Fee
If you are a current UO student or have applied and paid a nonrefundable application fee, no additional fee is required to apply for the Dual Enrollment Program. Currently enrolled community college students have not paid the UO application fee and therefore must pay it.
Student Record Release
As a condition of admission to the Dual Enrollment Program, you must sign an agreement to release student record information to each institution. This allows your community college and the UO to share your student record information so that you can easily move back and forth between the two institutions.
Tuition and Fees
Assessment of tuition and fees is based on the courses for which you register. The community college tuition and fees are assessed for community college courses; UO tuition and fees are assessed for UO courses. The institution that received the tuition and fees handles withdrawals and refunds in accordance with its rules and policies.
Tuition is assessed at resident or nonresident rates according to the residency classification of the student. The community college establishes residency criteria for its courses. The Oregon University System establishes residency criteria for UO courses.
Students admitted in the Dual Enrollment Program and taking classes at both schools pay fees for each institution according to its standard fee structure.
Students enrolled in the Dual Enrollment Program and taking classes at only one institution are assessed fees according to that institution's standard fee structure. Students at one institution who want access to fee-based student services at the other institution may request its optional fee package.
Dual Enrollment Program students have access to student services at both campuses. Fee-based student services are available to Dual Enrollment Program students who have paid these fees.
Financial Aid
Financial aid eligibility for students accepted into the Dual Enrollment Program is determined as follows:
Your community college evaluates and awards financial aid to applicants with 0–89 earned credits. Please note that financial aid from community colleges cannot pay for any upper division classes at the UO.
The UO evaluates and awards financial aid to applicants with 90 or more earned credits. Please note that financial aid from the UO cannot pay for any non-transferable courses including vocational classes.
All transcripts need to be submitted and evaluated prior to the first day of classes. The home school that awards financial aid is based on the number of accepted credits by the UO.
Dual Enrollment Program students are expected to abide by the financial aid policies and procedures of the institution evaluating and awarding financial aid. Dual Enrollment Program students may apply for academic and departmental scholarships at either institution.

So You Think You're Tough?
In the world of engineering, the term toughness is used to describe the ability of a material to withstand sudden impact without failure. It is a simple concept, but the toughness of a material is often difficult to accurately measure. What exactly is a "sudden" impact? What is, and is not, failure?
PET Ponderings
A few weeks ago, I took a journey up the California coast to Big Sur, one of my favorite places in the world. I attended a 5-day hiking workshop at Esalen, hiking into the wilderness during the day, settling back into the soul in the evening. It was a week of magic and mystery, mixed in with some poetry from John Muir. I even wrote a Muir-ism of my own.

A new bipartisan ad demanding a plan from the 2012 presidential candidates to stop gun violence features Stephen Barton, who survived the shooting massacre this summer at a Colorado movie theater.
The Demand a Plan ad is set to air nationally during the presidential debate Wednesday in Denver and is led by shooting survivors and the Mayors Against Illegal Guns group.
Barton was shot in the face and neck while attending a midnight screening of "The Dark Night" at a movie theater in Aurora. The shooter, James Holmes, killed 12 people and wounded 58 others.
In the ad, Barton delivers his demand sitting in an empty movie theater.
"So when you watch the presidential debates, ask yourself: Who has a plan to stop gun violence? Let's demand a plan," Barton says.
For debate viewers unfamiliar with Colorado geography, the presidential candidates will be debating about 10 miles from the Cinemark movie theater where the mass shooting occurred in July.
As commander in chief, President Obama has not pushed for gun control measures yet he has voiced support for renewed ban on assault-type weapons. Obama's said at the National Urban League Convention days after the shooting: "I believe the majority of gun owners would agree that we should do everything possible to prevent criminals and fugitives from purchasing weapons."
As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney signed a state ban on assault weapons in 2004. In the presidential primary debate in December 2011, Romney said, " I've been pro-gun and continue to be pro-gun."
In addition to this ad, the Brady Campaign released a letter today to Jim Lehrer, moderator of the debate in Colorado, asking him to ask the candidates about solutions to gun violence.

Learn With The Best
Your workshop is constructed and facilitated by Quantico Lead Instructors. Lead Instructors have the requisite 11 years experience, plus have either won awards in their respective workshop zones and/or are directly pegged to the ISO 9001:2015 framework within Quantico to develop workshops for Asia-Pacific market needs.
Rely on Relevance
Your workshop is future-proofed and region-secured through a series of research and trend-spotting methods that keep your organisation ahead of its markets. We listen to and understand your goals. Then we put these goals through our internal surveillance audit to ensure that your learning tools are relevant and valid for a minimum of four years.
Building Competence
Your workshop is customised to your most specific details, regardless of size or intricacy. Sometimes, though, you'll want a little help getting started. Quantico's Lead Instructors help you understand your choices so you can make informed, unbiased decisions that are truly beneficial to your teams and your organisational learning requirements.
Reinventing Support
Your workshop goes beyond its start and end dates. At Quantico we've reinvented the bar on innovating lifelong learning support. We believe it's not enough to rely on just your notes after your workshop ends. That is why your Lead Instructors will remain on hand to provide you with best-in-class post-workshop support.
Global Training Standards.
Quantico is an ISO 9001:2015 certified organisation; we are fully committed to the highest international quality standards for every workshop and course we conduct in Singapore and in the region. Quantico's workshops and courses are crafted on the premise that what you write, and how you write, can change the minds of your audiences about your organisation, your brands, and your content platforms. Your workshop tools also provide the foundation for developing your cross-disciplinary skills in related fields of design-thinking, social communication, and public engagement. Throughout your workshop, you will have the opportunity to build on your own case studies, and immediately apply your learnings towards building phenomenal content.
We are opening new frontiers and building mission-critical abilities through Quantico's Workshops + Courses in Singapore and the region. Your writing has the capability to convert consumers to customers. In other words, your words possess unlimited potential to change someone's world. While many of us will know how to write copy or have some experience creating marketing campaigns, formally learning the rules, and the tools, of professional writing gives you far more options to extend your content's influence. Your workshop groups are kept small to maximise individual attention so we can deep-dive into each of the principles of effective content creation, and answer why copywriting works so well, and for so few.

If you guys have problem with mouse control check on the option menu and switch custom cursor off, if the problem with balloons control, keep them always breeds to reduced the possibility to out of town.
Balloon Town
I've played this game on belugerinstudios yesterday, this is constructive summary:
- Rather than your previous game, this one is offer new concept, the game mechanic is pretty simple and easy to learn, and I like how you mustn't click each balloons to commanding them, with category click each jobs type, you decrease the number of click in this game and not rush it.
- The in-game tutorials are step by step and action based system, it's different than any other your games that only non-action based system and even with no in-game tutorials.
- The in-game art is decent, it's not as good as Age of Kingdoms' art, but the user interface and cover is better one.
- The game music is from Kevin MacLeod, it suit well with the theme of game.
- Well balance, at least it easy in early level, and harder in advance level.
- Bad balloons are still too weak, a good balloon can defeat it with two or three hits.
- Architects, Doctors and Soldiers only useful for objectives only, I though they can works as miner does, but i was wrong, i would happy if doctor can cure the illness ballons or architects can repair the damaged buildings.
- At the 26 level or above, if the population more than 200 balloons, it's little lag, i don't know how it perform on another computer.
- The levels need some variety of challenge, not just only breeds and works.
- Building upgrades only available at level 26 or above (total 30 levels), for all upgrades fanatic, it not fulfill they meets, you should make the upgrade since the first level, and balloon upgrades also good for additions.
If you want to make a sequels, please make it more different jobs and jobs need to seen clearly, and make it more longer, put sandbox mode, and even level editor.
It's still good game, I was pleased to see balloons fly and smile to me, despite the some flaws, this game is offer good experience of gameplay that I've never seen before in NG, good job and keep it up!
5/5, 9/10 minus one point for some flaws.
sometimes female balloons can deliver child without touch with male balloons, tube baby program isn't it? :P
Great job, but..
I think the difficulty need to be harder, some levels just need increase the populations, nice art and music, i like the gameplay.
different and unique
it's different and unique, compare with your old game, this is the fresh one.

Karla was born in Bogota, Colombia to blue-collar parents who migrated to the United States in the early 1990s. She was raised in the low-income inner city of Jersey City, New Jersey. From a very young age, Karla was tasked with facilitating the translation of complex English-Spanish conversations, related to housing, employment, finances, and medical matters on behalf of her then unilingual parents. To keep up with the demand, Karla read through everything she could get her hands on, with the aim of acquiring as much information about the world around her as possible.
This drive followed Karla to graduate summa cum laude Saint Peter's University, with a double major in Political Science and Sociology and a minor in Women's Studies. As a first generation college graduate, she was deeply inspired by a desire to promote self-advocacy, civic engagement and gender equally. Karla was chosen as an undergraduate research assistant for her university twice, and worked for a congressional campaign, where she helped keep track of the campaign's expenses. She also engaged with at-risk youths, as a workshop leader for the Summer Youth Employment Program, and led a variety of workshops, presenting to over one hundred young adults a week on topics such as financial literacy and career exploration.
She continues to work for a non-profit organization, but is now employed as a Research Assistant II, by New York City's Manpower Demonstration Corporation (MDRC) – a renowned nonpartisan social sciences research organization whose mission is directed at investigating solutions to issues that affect the poor. It was her first-hand experiences that have directed Karla to dedicate her life's work to promote the empowerment of underserved populations.
As a National Urban Fellow, Karla is excited to learn more about the public sector and how she can utilize her skills to improve the quality of life of the communities she serves.

Every thing in this world works like clockwork and have their own set parameters they function on. Every thing works on the rhythmic sequence of time, constantly repeating when their time comes. Similarly, people of the world live their lives on the same principal of set parameters which they called "habit". However, many people end up in bad habits that reduce their life span drastically. One such habit is the habit of smoking, which many of us pick up at a young age. There is no shame in admitting that it was due to peer pressure or the need to be recognized by the people around us drives us to pick up such habits. These habits are destructive in nature that we are all aware of since our school days. Smoking is a habit that is hard to beat in an instant if the body has got used to it for a long time. The level of nicotine in the blood stream makes the body depending on regular dosage of the substance after a short interval of time. To beat this habit there are many solutions created to help support smokers kick this habit like nicotine patches and nicotine chewing gums etc. However, many people have found out the hard way that they still crave to take a puff even after using these products. VG Juice has been created that works with in an Ecig device through which people can have greater control over the habit that has taken over their lives.
VG Juice is the mix that is found within the Ecig devices that have a controlled amount of nicotine along with different flavors that would appeal to the smoker. There are many different flavors available in the market which even come in fruit flavors and also in popular cigarette brands for those people who are very particular about the flavor the prefer to smoke. Most smokers prefer to brand that they have been smoking since the beginning and they do not prefer other brands for the same reason. The benefits of this device are great, as they help the smoker live a healthier life and get out of the habit that is slowly and steadily process without taking a great toll on the body. VG Juice eliminates many issues involved with the habit of smoking like tar, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and many other harmful substances that are associated with this problem.

The year 2013 is expected to bring changes to Pickerington and Violet Township, some perhaps more noticeable than others, but changes nonetheless.
The year 2013 is expected to bring changes to Pickerington and Violet Township, some perhaps more noticeable than others, but changes nonetheless.
Here is a look at what area officials believe might be in store for this coming year:
Downtown Pickerington will be hosting a Farmer's Market every Thursday, beginning June 6 and running through September.
The event, sponsored by the Olde Pickerington Village Business Association, will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. in the old bus lot on the corner of N. Center Street and Town Square Drive at a site that is currently used for public parking.
"People are more health-conscious, so it's nice to provide this to the community right here in our backyard," said Sandy Melillo a business association representative.
Melillo said customers seeking fresh produce can also expect to purchase jams, jellies and baked goods as well.
The introduction of the city's newest Farmer's Market, however, means the end of several other traditional OPVBA-sponsored events.
Eliminated this year are the Cruise-In, History Hop and Market Days so the association can focus on making the Farmer's Market a success.
The Olde Village Beanfest, which saw its successful debut last November, will be back again in September.
Festival-goers might be enjoying a new venue for the annual Pickerington Violet Festival in 2013 as festival organizers continue to investigate the feasibility of moving the four-day event from Victory Park to the more expansive Sycamore Park.
The Violet Festival Board is expected to submit a "Community Event" packet to the city in the next few months in order to get approval for the move.
Skating and ice hockey enthusiasts will have an opportunity in the winter of 2013 to frolic again on the city-sponsored outdoor ice rink in Victory Park, however, only if Mother Nature cooperates.
"We're not going to think about putting it up until we can see (that) it's going to get cold for a while," said Ed Drobina, city service department manager.
Pickerington has appropriated $100,000 to pay legal fees that will be used towards re-writing its zoning code, a project expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
"The city will be comprehensively revising its entire Land Use and Development regulations to actively reflect Pickerington's growing reputation as a local government committed to the efficient and customer-friendly accommodation of new responsible development proposals and to entice many more outside investments in our growing regional economy," said Bill Vance, Pickerington city manager.
Vance said 2013 will be a busy one for the city, with numerous development and Capital Improvement Projects on the agenda.
He said Pickerington's Development Services staff will be processing site plan applications associated with OhioHealth's first phase of a $40 million medical campus development on Refugee Road.
"They did purchase 57 acres of land in the city and we are expecting their project to move forward next year," said Joe Henderson, Pickerington development services director.
In addition to the projected expansion of the Leisure Road pump station in 2013 to handle increased waste water flows from OhioHealth, Vance said city officials also plan on moving forward with the installation of a bypass line to divert water treatment reverse osmosis from going to Pickerington's Wastewater Treatment Plant.
"The city's $2 million Reverse Osmosis water-treatment system was installed by the city in 2010/2011 and is functioning fine," Vance said.
"An existing storm-sewer main line will be re-lined to enhance the stability of this key component of Pickerington's storm sewer infrastructure which serves many commercial and residential properties located along (state Route) 256," he said.
Vance said another priority for 2013 will be moving the Route 256 Safety Project (planned for 2015) design efforts forward.
He said he also anticipates a lot of staff time will be devoted to the proposed Four Seasons indoor soccer complex on Gray Drive if that project is approved in 2013.
He said the city has also "planned a 2013/2014 (Sycamore Creek) bank stabilization project adjacent to Shawnee Crossings subdivision."
New business construction in 2013 includes Midas, which is building a 5,214 square-foot facility on the northwest corner of Diley Road.
Other projects slated to be completed in 2013 are the Tide Dry Cleaners, 670 Hill Road North Medical Offices and Grace Fellowship Church on Refugee Road.
Violet Township
Violet Township will see additional improvements to the new Busey Road Park in 2013.
Township Administrator Bill Yaple said the township "just got notification of a $20,000 plus grant" from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The grant money will pay for the installation of a walking shelter and paved paths in the park.
Yaple said he expects "normal paving operations" for the township in 2013 will cost between $700,000 and $800,000.
He said the Violet Township Fire Department has an emergency squad on order for 2013, but otherwise he expects normal expenditures for the fire department's replacement of equipment and no new staffing additions.
"We're at an even keel right now so we're just trying to maintain," Yaple said.
He said the township won't be scrambling to find a place to store salt surpluses, at least for the first half of 2013.
"American Rock Salt is going to hold it up to six more months," said Yaple, adding that while no total dollar amount has been quoted for the storage, "it's cheaper than providing outside storage and then having to cover it. We would be mandated to cover it."
Township Engineer Greg Butcher said one of the largest projects on the agenda for township in 2013 is the Violet Township Elementary School Safe Routes to School Project, which will involve constructing "a little over one-mile of new sidewalk within the Chevington Village subdivision to connect to Violet Elementary School."
Butcher said Trucco Construction of Delaware, Ohio, was the lowest bidder for the project at $256,000, well under the grant amount of $295,000.
"We have about $40,000 for construction administration and inspection which we'll administer in-house," Butcher said.

Of course, if BvsS has good word of mouth and people think some of the issues they had with MOS have been corrected, that might help it grow some legs and have a strong second week.
I see, I didn't know you were guessing that for a head to head weekend(something that won't happen imo).
Secondly, do you have any idea how many people were 'turned off' by Transformers? People that care enough to be vocal about how 'turned off' they are the type of people that care enough to show up regardless. This is very much the paradigm of TF imo. Then there is the issue of if they are right, I personally think the GA has spoken and is continuing to speak on the matter. How good the movie is in and of itself(without people deeming uplifting is some prerequisite of film) is rarely discussed imo.
This very clearly isn't the Superman Returns situation.

Bob Barker Helps Rescued Bolivian Lion Cubs Enjoy New Leash On Life (Video)
Holding down a 35 year career as the host of one of television's most enduring game shows has probably enabled Bob Barker to tuck away his fair share of ka-ching, but the longtime animal rights advocate is hardly stingy given his recent donation of $2.5 million to PETA.
Well, it turns out that he's shared his wealth in yet another way that will benefit several lucky regal creatures – by personally bankrolling the retirement of four lion cubs that were just liberated from what could have potentially been a life of forced performance thanks to a newly enforced Bolivian circus animal ban.
Working with Animal Defenders International, the cubs – one of which had its claws removed without anesthetic at birth and two which had their fangs were sawed off so humans could dazzle crowds by sticking their heads inside — were accompanied on a long flight to San Francisco, sadly without their mother who was blind and so feeble due to a challenging life of circus performing that officials decided it would be more humane to euthanize her.
Their new stomping grounds will be located in northeastern California at the Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) which serves as a safe house for exotic creatures such as primates, assorted lions, tigers, elephants, bears and even coyotes and leopards that are either retired from performance, abused or otherwise abandoned.
Barker is one of several individuals responsible for funding their new habitat and we can only hope that as Bolivia's ban continues to take effect (the direct result of an undercover investigation conducted by Animal Defenders International that revealed severe abuses), that more of their former circus animals will be transferred to the California refuge.
Below, CSI's Jorja Fox along with a vast team of other activists narrate the blow-by-blow as the cubs (which are impressively large) are released into their new habitat. Happy endings rock!!

At least nine Afghan policemen are dead after being attacked while driving near the town of Kharwar, south of the capital Kabul. The recent upsurge in violence is likely to get even worse.
Afghan officials are blaming the ambush on men loyal to the former Taleban government. This time, they struck in Logar province, located between the Kabul district and violence-racked Paktia province.
The incident marks the third such attack on Afghan police in 48 hours, all of them in the eastern portion of the country.
All the attacks are said to be the work of Taleban militants, as well as elements of the al-Qaida terror network and forces loyal to renegade warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
Afghanistan's Foreign Ministry spokesman Omar Samad said the insurgents are taking advantage of warm weather to make a violent challenge to the Afghan transitional government. "It's the end of the summer season, and they are attempting to make a showing and to show that they are still a force to reckon with," he said.
This latest attack took place on Monday and was reported by officials Tuesday. It caps one of the country's bloodiest weeks since the overthrow of the Taleban in 2001. Almost 100 people have been killed in a series of attacks around the country.
Mr. Samad thinks the rise in violence is linked to the coming loya jirga, or grand council, at which the nation's new draft constitution is slated to be unveiled. "The closer we get to the loya jirga and to the elections and the more the democratization of society moves ahead, you will see these elements of terror and destabilization attempt to undermine everything that has been achieved in Afghanistan," he explained.
The loya jirga is scheduled to begin in early October. National elections must be held by June 2004 under the terms of the Bonn Agreement, which established the current transitional government.
Despite the recent violence, however, Afghanistan remained relatively calm Tuesday, as the country marked its 84th independence day.
The day, which marks the end of Afghanistan's domination by the British, is one of two independence holidays. The second falls in April and marks the ousting of Afghanistan's Soviet-backed communist government.

U.S.A.F. Chasing UFOs
When I was 10 years old I was in the backyard laying on my back looking up at the white clouds drifting above. I was imagining that I could see shapes in the clouds, when I suddenly heard footsteps and I turned my head to the right and my dad was standing by me.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
" I am just looking at the clouds," I replied.
" Have you seen anything interesting up there?"
" Like what?" I answered.
Then he went on to describe how when he was in WW II flying missions over Germany he had seen a strange object that came out of a cloud. It was fully visible for a moment, then it vanished into another thick cloud bank. He told me that it was silver/metallic and looked like a flattened oval.
" Was it a flying saucer?" I blurted excitedly.
" I guess that you might say that," he said with a gleam in his eye.
I looked at his face. He was staring up at the sky now, looking at the clouds that were now moving above us. Then he turned and walked away. I was amazed that my own dad had seen such a thing. I began to wonder about these craft in the sky that did not have wings or propellers. What could they be? Why were they here?
UFOs following American bombers during WW II? I am certain that other crew members on bombing missions in WW II reported that UFOs tailed their planes. Foo Fighters as they were called. These sightings are now well documented in the UFO literature for that time period.
The UFO Chase
When I was around nine years old, I was playing with another boy in the yard not far from the garage. We suddenly heard a deafening sound coming at a rapid pace from out of the West. There was a sudden flash of light that seemed to light up the entire sky and ground for a second, and then a jet fighter followed flying at no more that 200 feet high. ( It did not appear to be much higher than the treetops ) . Behind this fighter, another identical jet followed on its tail. These two jets appeared to be chasing whatever it was that had caused the sky and ground to light up only a second earlier. That object had headed toward the direction of the woods at a fantastic speed. The jet fighters were only seconds behind the UFO. I have never in my entire life seen jet fighters fly so low over a populated area. These fighter jets possibly came from Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.
Fighter planes chasing UFOs at low altitude over a populated area? I'm sure that any documentation of this event or other UFO chases for that matter are classified far away from public view. The U.S.A.F. was actively involved in UFO chases in the early 1960's, I am certain of this. Now here were two fighters chasing a UFO right over the roof of my house. The UFO and planes were gone as rapidly as they had appeared, headed towards the woods. I do not know how this chase began or ended. I am imagining that the UFO either out maneuvered the jets and escaped; or as is often the case, the UFO may have simply vanished.
I have been curious recently about UFOs that seem to appear from nowhere and then dissappear as mysteriously as they arrived. Many of the reports describe the way a UFO either simply "blinks" out or flashes on like a switch has been thrown. Are UFOs capable of entering and leaving our world through a portal in space? Is interdimensional travel a feat that UFOs have mastered? No wonder the U.S.A.F was becoming delirious with the presence of objects in the sky that could leave our most technically advanced fighter jets in the dust the way a car would leave a horse and buggy behind.
How long will it be before the military establishment comes clean on the record of UFOs? They wish to lend fuel to the fire of ridicule that is prevalent in the news media. Why? Because the top notches of the military establishment have classified UFOs as top secret and a possible threat to national security. Yes, our military is obsessed with chasing UFOs all over the countryside. What have they gained from this? Apparently much, otherwise why cover up the presense of UFOs worldwide?

(Title inspired by one of Pablo Neruda's poems, Ode to the Book)
(The New York Public Library)
"Le livre est plus que jamais devenu un objet de résistance. La lecture est une contestation de tous les jours, une désobéissance civile au quotidien. Car tout nous pousse à ne plus prendre le temps. Les choses vont si vite que nous peinons à imaginer le futur, qui semble déjà derrière nous. Les utopies humaines semblent s'être noyées dans les eaux glacées du calcul égoïste et dans la fin de l'histoire…"

Sad, but true. It seems as though nobody reads as much as they used to anymore. Many people often forget what a book can bring you. Not only does it teach you (or remind you) a valuable lesson but it also allows you to live another life for a few hours. Needless to say that books also feed your imagination, which is far more entertaining than having the story setting and the characters served on a silver platter. I'm not criticising books being turned into movies, but I'd tend to read the book first to make my own impression and to paint my own settings and characters before seeing the movie.
I was lucky enough to be surrounded by books while growing up and get lost in many captivating stories for endless hours. As much as I enjoy browsing the Internet and get lost in a whirlwind of websites, it doesn't give me the same adventurous yet comforting feeling of a book.
So, here's to a long life for books! 🙂 Have a great, sunny weekend, everyone!

'As Trump talks protectionism, Germany looking for piece of giant Mexican pie'
German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Friday for discussions on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a Clinton-era trade deal that has been called a "job killer" by US President Donald Trump, who threatened to quit the three-nation agreement.
Trump, who vowed to withdraw from NAFTA unless it is renegotiated in favor of the US, slammed Germany and Mexico, claiming that their gains come at the expense of US manufacturers.
RT: Merkel is clearly on the same page as Mexico on this, but can she really influence the NAFTA agreement. What leverage does she have?
Abayomi Azikiwe: Considering the current situation involving the strained relations between the Trump administration and the EU member states, I see this as an attempt for some type of economic trade realignment internationally. There has been a lot of criticism on the part of Trump and his supporters of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). He wants to negotiate new terms for that agreement. And of course, at the recent G7 Summit, Trump indicated that the European powers were not necessarily carrying their weight in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; this upset a lot of European heads of state. I think this is an attempt to show Trump and his administration that they can cut deals outside the influence of Washington and Wall Street.
RT: How big a blow would this be to Germany if NAFTA is scrapped?
AA: I believe this is the actual nature of the discussions. They are not sure what real direction Trump is going in. Recently he announced the withdrawal of the US from the Paris climate agreement, which, for many years the US had been unable to reach a climate agreement with other countries internationally. And last year the outgoing administration of Barack Obama was able to sign this agreement. So, they see Trump perhaps as someone who wants to disrupt the current international order and of course they are preparing for this eventual or possible inoperability between the United States and the European Union, as well as the United States and Mexico … Trump has called to institute more protectionist tariffs for goods produced outside of the US coming and being marketed inside the United States. So, this causes quite a bit of consternation in the international community, particularly among existing trading blocs, both in Latin America as well as in Europe.
'Germany wants piece of the Mexican pie'
Daniel Shaw, a Latin America expert from the City University in New York, told RT that "Merkel and big German corporations would love to sink their fangs into this massive Mexican market," while "US capital is frightened at the possibility that others powers could step up into their place.
RT: Merkel is obviously keen to keep NAFTA on track. What are the chances of it surviving?
Daniel Shaw: Merkel and big German corporations would love to sink their fangs into this massive Mexican market. We are talking about the 11th largest economy in the world with a GDP of some $2.3 trillion. Trump tries to pull out and implement his protectionist "America first" policies… of course capitalist rivals would love to sneak in and take a piece of this giant Mexican pie.
RT: How can Germany influence the talks on this trade deal?
DS: They stand to gain a great deal; as the US pulls back they can step up and corporations like Volkswagen and BMW would love to work closely with Enrique Peña Nieto, one of the big privatizers who has opened up the gas market and the oil market in Mexico. Mexico is one of the largest oil suppliers in the world. So, certainly, US capital is very frightened at the possibility that other powers could step up into their place… So, it remains to be seen what will happen if Mexico looks for alternative trading partners and calls Trump out on these anti-globalist trade policies.

The 1963 Studebaker Avanti features a 289-cubic inch V8 engine that clocks in at 4,800 RPMs, allowing users to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.6 seconds. It also features Bendix 11.5-inch front disc brakes and 11 by 2-inch finned drums in the rear. Front disc brakes were a new innovation at the time of the vehicle's release in 1968. The Avanti is considered among the vehicles with the best acceleration and stopping power of its time.Continue Reading
The Studebaker Avanti has an interior designed to mimic the interior of an aircraft. Its interior features include a pull-out glove box, light controls via overhead rocker switches, a padded roll bar and an array of red-lit gauges to report the status of mechanical systems. Externally, the Avanti offers rust-proof, layered fiberglass bodies, such as those used in Corvettes during the same period of production.
Suspension systems are robust in the Avanti, but the comfort comes at the cost of sharp handling because the wheels use narrow ply tires. The Avanti came with three transmission options: three and four-speed manuals and a three-speed automatic. Components for Avanti's sturdy transmission systems, complete with clutches for the manual transmission options, are still available on the market as of 2015.Learn more about Car Makes & Models

On this episode of #GVNDicussion Daniel Hodge, AdamUpNow, and Luis Alamilla discuss the current situation going on between the PlayStation Vita and the Nintendo 3DS. The 3DS is currently dominating the game library competition while the PlayStation Vita is killing the 3DS with its awesome tech specs.
PSOne vs 3DS lets go! Lol. I prefer VITA games. Only 3DS games I like are sonic and atlus games.
For me the 3ds is the better console at the moment because of the games. I got both on day one and it took a bit for the 3ds to get games but now they come thick and fast. As foe the psv I have just sold mine as the games I wanted were just not there. Lbp psv was not as fun as the ps3 gamea and way to short the same with ucga. Mnr again missing online which is what I was looking forward to the most. Resistance was short and mp was not the best and I won't even go into cod. Nfsmw was fun but its on consoles to.
There is no dout Sony created an amazing handheld but for me it is lacking in games a bit like the Wiiu at the moment.
I do hope Sony turn it around but for me ide pick the 3ds every time at the moment.
The kind of games you can get on Vita you can get on PS3 as well. Not to say there aren't creative gems on the Vita, but most people would rather play Uncharted, Killzone, or Call of Duty on a home console with a big TV. Doesn't help it has to compete with both the 3DS and tablets/smartphones. It's a good handheld, just no outstanding reason to buy one atm.
