These are scenes in and around Fries Va next to the New River in Grayson County. Some are of the Washington Cotton Mills which vanished in 1989 laying off 1700 employees. Many are the mill houses left behind from the mills employees.
On Thursday May 30th, Sun-Times Media laid off 28 people including photo editors and the professional journalism staff. Included were well known names like Al Podgorski, Scott Stewart, Ernie Torres, Tom Cruze and John H. White who had been with the paper for thirty-five years and won a Pulitzer Prize in 1982.
The Times, which is owned by Wrapports L.L.C., an investment company, said that the action resulted from a need to shift to video work and because people were relying more
on mobile devices to stay informed. Also planned was to have reporters use IPhones to take pictures and hire freelance photographers to do the rest.
The laid-off photographers are members of the Chicago Newspaper Guild which was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the paper. The company had recently told the union that no lay-offs of photographers were planned. The Guild planned to take legal action to restore the jobs.
A group of citizens from Occupy Delaware delivered the following mic check in front of a local Citibank branch on Saturday, December 17th.
We the people, from Occupy Delaware, are foreclosing upon this branch of Citibank, a subsidiary of Citigroup, for Citigroup's high crimes and misdemeanors against its customers, its employees, this community and the people of world.
This foreclosure is done in all seriousness in the stead of our government, which has forced us to act in the face of their inability or unwillingness to address the following crimes by Citigroup.
1. Being an active contributor to the economic crisis by promoting the use of CDO's or Collateralized Debt Obligations.
2. Defrauding their own investors by promoting CDO's, that in private emails were called "a collection of dogshit".
3. Betting against those very same CDOs and reaping profits when they failed, while their investors, customers & the citizens of the world lost their savings, their jobs and their homes.
4. Predatory lending practices AND
5. Unlawful and deceptive foreclosure practices.
We demand that Citigroup be brought to justice for these crimes. And we also demand that that justice does not entail settlements with the SEC, Attorney's General or other governmental institutions that would allow Citigroup to avoid any admission of wrongdoing or liability for these crimes.
We the people demand that Citigroup be put on trial for these crimes!
To add insult to injury, or salt to our wounds, former Citigroup CEO Charles Prince, under whose watch the world economic crisis erupted, said in July 2007:
Quote
...as long as the music is playing, you've got to get up and dance. We're still dancing....
End Quote
Mr Prince danced all the way to the bank with his exit package in excess of 29 million dollars. His reward for ruining our economy.
But let's not exclude current CEO Vikram Pandit who received a retention package for 23.2 million dollars this year.
Why if things are going so well for Mr. Pandit and Citigroup are they laying off an additional 4,500 hundred workers in the coming months?

Burrell Colour Imaging (BCI) is a leading full service lab for professional portrait and wedding photographers, processing both digital and traditional images. The company was founded in 1959 by photographer and current BCI CEO Don Burrell to provide color and black and white traditional processing and printing to Chicago and North West Indiana photographers and over the decades has grown to serve over fifteen thousand photographers nationwide.
Since Burrell Colour's first lab, DNJ opened in Gary, Indiana, Burrell has been praised for consistently offering photographers friendly and efficient customer service and a guarantee of quality with quick turn around times. Burrell's "no lay off" policy has resulted in cultivating a seasoned team of highly trained lab technicians, production and customer service departments. The Burrell Marketing Sales Representatives (MSR) provide sales and marketing help cross country to photographers on an individual basis, acting as business consultants and offering market analysis and solutions.
Marion, AL (Perry County)
Founded on March 4, 1822, the city of Marion was originally known as Muckle's Ridge. By 1817, Michael Muckle had cleared an acre of land from a dense forest and constructed a cabin on the present site of the Perry County Jail (structure #79). Muckle later sold his improvements to Anderson West, then sheriff of Perry County. At the suggestion of Joseph Evans, a South Carolinian, the county commissioners, charged with finding a suitable location for the county seat of Perry County, changed the name of the town from Muckle's Ridge to Marion, honoring General Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox" of Revolutionary War fame. After laying off the courthouse square and the surveying of streets, on May 22,1822, lots were sold at public auction but due to heavy rains, prices for prime lots remained quite low. The early sale of lots included those adjacent to the courthouse square. (1)

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes...."

Cultivator Teeth are durable powder coated teeth feature a narrow throat and a wide foot for thorough cultivation under the soil surface. One tooth can be used on the toolbar for laying off rows or as many as five for more intense cultivation. Another excellent feature is that they will work on Planet Jr. Wheel Hoe.

People gather on February 19, 2012 in central Madrid during a demonstration called by Spain's two biggest Unions to protest against sweeping labour market reforms that make it easier to slash pay and lay off workers. Spain's two biggest unions, the CCOO and UGT, planned protests in a total of 57 cities, including Barcelona and Seville, on Sunday against the reforms which Spain's new conservative government argues are needed to revive the economy and slash an unemployment rate of 22.85 percent.

This one is probably too easy, so if the sharks could lay off of it for the first 30-40 views that'd be awesome

Factory where girlfriend's father works is moving to a new city and laying off all workers, most have been there over 20 years.
An enjoyable trip to Starved Rock on Saturday. It's good to get the rust off the camera and shoot with friends after a bit of a lay off from Flickr activities.
We had 9 people on our outing! The group not only had me back but we saw BoyPhoto and RHITMrB. BoyPhoto doesn't live in the Peoria area any more but is an easy drive away from Starved Rock so she met up with us. We also had two "new" participants with Julie and Sandi. Sandi joined us in the pre-meetup search for a couple of new canyons and then had to leave us.
Finally.... the best part for us Canon folks was that we had 6 Canon's to 2 Nikon's!! Canon Rocks!
Some more from the second trip to Harperbury. Decided to lay off the processing, these have just had minor adjustments made.
