You ever find yourself in a position where it’s not exactly comfortable but at the same time no necessarily painful either? I call it the dark. Today at work I smacked my elbow on a ladder rung, while trying to hurry a truck out of one of the bays. You know the spot. That not so funny bone. And of course what is the first reaction? Why you shout profanities of course. Then time permitting you clutch your fresh wound, and move on. Life in ANR was much like that. Outside of the band everything around me was beginning to crumble. The relationship with the mother of my brand spanken’ new first offspring was deteriorating faster then any of the countless episodes of the A-team, and I had more financial problems then a gold fish with a credit card.
"That will be a dollar fifty."
"I’ll take it."
"That will be a dollar fifty."
"I’ll take it."
Ooooooooh you better believe it! Trying to balance everything out was what finally brought my little rock and roll empire crumbling down.
It had taken a few questionable months to work out the rough edges of ANR, but in time we’d settled in quite well with each other, and focused on actually making music, with our sights aimed at putting on live performances. Admittedly we hadn’t created anything you could have called fresh or original. Our goal to the finite was to capture a sound that guys could shove each other around too, and girls could shake their ass’ too. The end result? I think we’d pulled it off quite well, but it was always easy to say that when you were preforming to the cold walls of your aunts basement.
When we did start booking shows, everything that I had known and learned with the past four bands I’d been a member of went strait out of the proverbial window.
It wasn’t to say that like so many might think, there was a twenty four seven party happening. There were no parties at all (at least at first). Only work. Work meant more time away from other things I’d wanted to do. Things I knew I could not fix, but felt compelled in trying to repair after the fact. Things I could not fix, and felt upset about not being able to fix. Things I’d decided to hide from by pretending to be something else. None of that made any sense to me at all then, but looking back I can say that whatever it was I was trying to accomplish, I think I did. I can see now that in away I feel some what indentured to pat myself on the back in my inability to fix all of life’s little un-fixable problems.
Putting my personal disasters aside, the first problem as a band that faced us starting out was our set was to short to fill a full nights docket, and as such, we would resort to booking yet a second or sometimes even a third act to either open for us, or at times when we could book acts such as "The Street" (Salt Lake), "Denots" (Idaho Falls) or "Switchitter" (Boise), (Groups far more renowned then ourselves in the north west), opened for them. Once booking was made it was a sit down to grind gears and make up a flyer design.
From there it was off to the print shop in the middle of the night, to make as many flyers as we could afford. This alone had on a few occasions created a mountain of stress for me, as it was usually myself forking out the money for the flyers. Flyers that were produced when we we’re pushing a dead line, already boasted the name of a band Leon would be in the middle of sweet talking over his cell phone, as I signed a check for the printed flyers.
We all worked day jobs, and in order to make money in a "Never heard of you" band, it meant hustling home the moment the day jobs minimum nine hours had expired, in order to get cleaned up. From there it was off to the next "job", fast, loading the rigs with band equipment. It would take near an hour to load our equipment, and each piece had to be placed in a preplanned position for all of it to fit in one of the two pick up trucks we had.
There was an exception to the two truck convoy from time to time. That being in the form of our away shows, in which we’d decided to commission my mothers horse trailer, effectively replacing both of the rigs beds in order to save on gas. Surprisingly that alone had proven to create more problems then you could wave a stick at.
The trailers wiring did not comply with the wiring in "lil miss", and as such I soon discovered that when ever signaling to turn, the lights on the trailer would signal the opposite direction. Equally, while "lil miss" had a trailer brake system, it was, well, extremely aggressive. What I mean by aggressive, is it was near impossible to stop the combination, without locking up the trailer brakes.
Try to imagine if you will, me, driving down some busy main street in the middle of rush hour traffic, somewhere in a Southern Idaho town, screeching to a halt at every stop light. It did for the lack of a better phrase, turn some heads.
Once reaching our destination be it an away show or a local gig like playing as house band at Tony’s, it was always the same. First a very fast unloading process, regardless of how many hours we had to prepare. From there it would be a quick walk through the facility, and an inspection of the area we would be setting up, before or while meeting with whom ever had booked us. A quick talk with the afore mentioned booky, regarding any rules, regulations, or anything else we should be aware of (Some joints had the damnest strange policies), and then it was on to set up and sound check. I was always very stingy about this part at first. Sitting behind the drums I wasn’t the best guy to be seconding as the sound guy, but it was my gear, and in the early days I was the only one that knew how to make it work (later on Rayce worked out the best settings for the mixing board, and I was finally relieved of that duty).
All of this had to be done in a timely, professional manner, because as far as I was concerned it was a job, and as such had to be done right, the first time, every time. This isn’t to say I wasn’t able to have fun, it was a simple matter of waiting for the moment that the words "It’s time" were spoken.
All of our work, our effort, our preparation was hinging on though’s two words. "It’s time" meant it was time to put work aside and play.
In the past I’d written on occasion about nights our shows had flat out gone down the crapper, or at least not gone off the way we had planned. There were however nights where everything "Clicked". Nights regaled by a full house of folks that had come out to see a band and have a good time. A band that was feeling the groove, and were accompanied by instruments that did not fail. Nights we were golden.
Whether playing to a full house or to a crowed consisting of little more then three young ladies that attended near everyone of our damn shows, rightfully dubbed the Goth girls, we put on a show. We’d actually invite the occasional slow night, as it allowed us to experiment with different new ideas in both our songs and our performance. If I recall Rayce’s table sex had gone off quite well with the Goth Girls, and it was later incorporated into our regular act, while preforming our tribute to prostitutes, in "Kitty".
Over time we eventually found a middle ground in almost every aspect of the group (except of course the web site), and five years, more than a hundred live shows, at least fifteen torn snare heads, and more broken drum sticks then I could ever count, once again I find myself referring to my former ANR band mates as folk I’d spent a better part of five years preforming with, and now regarded as dear friends.

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.
“NEWS BRIEFS FROM CITY HALL
Three persons did not fare so well today when Mayor Charles S Mayne conducted police court. A man docketed as James Parody but who said his name was Raymond reportedly caused trouble in his Hutchman street rooming house last night and was fined $25. ‘Bob’ Kerr questioned Officer Yackowitz’s authority at North Mercer and Washington street, ‘pawed the officer’ and was locked up. He denied the accusation. A ‘Miss Swartz’ after being told to leave a Seventh ward beverage place became vexed and struck Officer George Sigler with her red pocketbook, an act he didn't appreciate. Today, Mayor Mayne assessed her $5 for using her pocketbook as a weapon.”

ACT Forests Planning Systems
1. Introduction.
The systems currently used by ACT Forests for tactical and strategic planning, database management and mapping are currently under review.
These systems currently include those operated at the weighbridge ie the docket system and FORLOG; inventory, forest growth models, harvesting management model, estate model, forest database and mapping GIS
The current systems are of differing ages and run on different operating sytems, DOS or UNiX.
2. Current Systems - Description and Problems.
2.1. Docket system.
This system is DOS based and is a compiled basic programme that is neither year 2000 compliant or supported.
It records timber movements and provides hard copy for the contractors, mill and forest owners. This information provides input into FORLOG
The programme could have been up graded to run on Windows NT or Windows 95. The decision was made not to do this. The revision of FORLOG means that this programme no longer provides reliable input as array sizes are too small. Time is lost as numerous changes are required in the input data before the accounts can

Nonscheduled 14 CFR operation of WORLD AIRWAYS INC (D.B.A. World Airways)
Incident occurred Thursday, April 28, 2005 in Anchorage, AK
Probable Cause Approval Date: 06/28/2006
Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas MD-11, registration: N277WA
Injuries: 201 Uninjured.
The flight crew was conducting an international passenger flight under Title 14, CFR Part 121, when they smelled and saw smoke in the cockpit. The pilot declared an emergency, and diverted to the nearest airport, where the airplane landed without incident. According to the flight crew, just prior to the smell and smoke, there was a crew change that required the cockpit security door to be opened and closed. An examination of the security door by maintenance personnel and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC) revealed an excess length of wiring, which provides power to the electrically locking security door, was laying atop the door's metal-encased, unshielded, locking solenoid inside the doorframe. Several of the wires were encased in a plastic anti-chafe mesh. A portion of the mesh was melted, and had the smell of burnt plastic. During a discussion with the IIC, a mechanic said he had seen similar doors overheat when the door and frame were misaligned, prohibiting full extension of the locking bolt. The cockpit door was modified in accordance with Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01391LA, which meets the FAA's requirements for a reinforced cockpit door. The door uses a "demand access" electrically operated door latching solenoid. The door manufacturer issued an addendum to the airplane manufacturer's maintenance manual. The addendum includes removal, installation, and system tests of the striker/solenoid unit. The installation section does not specifically address the issue of securing excess wiring located above the striker/solenoid within the doorframe. The installation instructions do contain a "caution," referencing the need for the security bolt to engage fully. Failure of the bolt to fully engage will cause the solenoid to remain energized and overheat. Construction of the striker/solenoid assembly is such that the metal-encased electrical coil of the unshielded solenoid is the upper-most portion of the assembly within the doorframe. The installation includes a warning light that illuminates if the solenoid does not shut off. The crew did not report seeing the warning light in-flight, and the light and locking mechanism functioned properly during subsequent tests on the ground; it was not tested in-flight. The conversion of the door was completed on March 21, 2003. Prior to the incident, the new security door had been in service about 16,416 flight hours, and 1170 cycles. FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 65-15A, Chapter 11, covers practices and procedures for the installation and maintenance of aircraft electrical wiring. The AC notes that practices and procedures outlined in this section are general recommendations, and are not intended to replace the manufacturer's instructions. Chapter 11, page 441, Slack in Wiring Bundles, states: "Single wires or wire bundles should not be installed with excessive slack." Page 442, Routing and Installations, states: "All wires and wire groups should be routed and installed to protect them from: (2) high temperatures."
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this incident to be:
The inadequate installation of the cockpit security door locking device, which resulted in smoke in the cockpit during normal cruise, and a precautionary landing. A factor associated with the incident was the manufacturer's insufficiently defined installation instructions.
This is another 5 Star rating shared by one of our thousands of very satisfied clients.

SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY APPELLATE DIVISION DOCKET NO.
A-1255-18T3
TRACEY L. VIZZONI, as Executrix For The Estate Of Judith A. Schrope,
Plaintiff-Appellant, v. B.M.D., J.D., and ATLOCK FARM, Defendants, and STEFAN LERNER, Defendant-Respondent.
Argued March 28, 2019 – Decided June 24, 2019 Before Judges Simonelli, Whipple and Firko. On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Somerset County, Docket No. L-0575- 15. Justin Lee Klein argued the cause for appellant (Hobbie, Corrigan & DeCarlo, PC, attorneys; Jacqueline DeCarlo, of counsel; Justin Lee Klein, on the briefs).
Sam Rosenberg argued the cause for respondent (Rosenberg Jacobs Heller & Fleming, PC, attorneys; Sam Rosenberg, of counsel; Matthew E. Blackman, on the brief). Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP, attorneys for amici curiae American Medical Association and Medical Society of New Jersey (Philip S. Goldberg, on the brief). The opinion of the court was delivered by WHIPPLE, J.A.D. Plaintiff Tracey L. Vizzoni, as executrix for the estate of Judith A. Schrope, appeals from a May 11, 2018 Law Division order granting summary judgment and dismissing her negligence claims against defendant Stefan Lerner, M.D.1 Tragically, Lerner's patient, B.M.D.,2 struck and killed Judith Schrope while driving. Plaintiff argues Lerner's negligent prescription of medication to B.M.D. was the proximate cause of the fatal crash. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the order of the trial court.
We discern the following facts from the record and view them in the light most favorable to plaintiff. See Brill v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am., 142 N.J. 520, 540 (1995). On June 17, 2014, at around 9:45 in the morning, B.M.D., driving her SUV, struck decedent Schrope as Schrope was riding her bicycle on the right-hand side of a residential road. B.M.D. approached Schrope from behind and saw her in the distance. Visibility was clear and there were no cars approaching from the other direction. At the scene of the accident, B.M.D. gave a recorded statement to police. The officer conducting the interview asked B.M.D. if she was being treated for any medical conditions, and she responded "mild depression." She reported to the officer she had taken Paxil that day and had a glass of wine the prior evening. There is no evidence in the record that the police conducted a field sobriety check. The police did not request a blood draw or an Alcotest. A police report concluded, "[B.M.D.] made no attempt to move over to the left and safely pass Mrs. Schrope. [Even though] [t]he width of the roadway was measured [twenty] feet [nine] inches[,] which would have allowed ample space for [B.M.D.] to move over and safely pass Mrs. Schrope." Despite the fact that Schrope suffered fatal injuries, B.M.D. was only charged with and convicted of careless driving, N.J.S.A. 39:4-97, after a trial in municipal court.
On May 4, 2015, plaintiff filed a wrongful death and survivorship claim against B.M.D.3 Through discovery, plaintiff learned B.M.D. was under the care of psychiatrist Stefan Lerner, M.D, and plaintiff named him as a defendant in a first amended complaint. During B.M.D.'s deposition, she was asked about what medications she took. At the time of the crash, B.M.D. was prescribed at least six psychiatric medications, including: (1) duloxetine (Cymbalta); (2) lamotrigine (Lamictal); (3) lithium carbonate (Lithobid); (4) trazadone; (5) dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride (Focalin); and (6) methylphenidate (Concerta). B.M.D. admitted she took duloxetine, lamotrigine and lithium carbonate on the morning of the crash. When asked if she took trazodone the night before the crash, she testified she did not know, and, when asked if it was possible, she answered "it's possible." She also consumed some wine the night before. B.M.D. also testified she did not experience side effects from her medications except for Focalin.
Focalin is a central nervous system stimulant used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). B.M.D. admitted Focalin made her "feel a little speedy" as if she was "on speed." She initially denied taking Focalin on the day of the crash because "[i]t had such bad ramifications, I didn't want to bring it up," but later admitted it was possible she "took half of the dose I should have."
On June 8, 2014, Lerner mailed B.M.D. a prescription for Concerta without meeting with her in person....
Financial District, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States
The small, elegant cast-iron-fronted mansarded building at 90-94 Maiden Lane is the only remaining example in the Financial District of the many Second Empire style commercial buildings constructed in downtown Manhattan during the post-Civil War era. the southernmost cast-iron building in Manhattan, it is one of the rare survivors of this type between Fulton Street and the Battery.
Long associated with the Roosevelt family (which had a store at 94 Maiden Lane by 1786), the present building incorporates a mercantile building erected for James Roosevelt around 1810. In 1870-71 Roosevelt & Son, then the nation's leading importer of plate glass and mirrors, expanded from 90-94 Maiden Lane into the adjoining buildings at 90-92 Maiden Lane and 9-11 Cedar Street; a new cast-iron facade with mansard roof was erected on the Maiden lane buildings, as well as a new brick and iron facade on Cedar Street.
These alterations are attributed to Charles Wright, a mid-19th century architect known for his cast-iron buildings, who was associated with the prominent iron founders Michael Grosz & Son. The building's iron elements were cast by the Architectural Ironworks of New York, one of the leading iron foundries in the country, whose head Daniel D. Badger was a major force in the development and promotion of architectural cast iron.
The Roosevelt Family and 90-94 Maiden Lane
In the 18th century, Maiden Lane, set in a small valley which formed a natural connection between Broadway and the waterfront, was lined with the houses and stores of prosperous merchants. Following the Revolutionary War John Roosevelt established a business at 94 Maiden Lane, leasing the property for at least a year before purchasing it from Pierre Van Cortlandt in 1786.
John's brother Nicholas became a partner in the firm in 1787, but the brothers were soon in financial difficulties. In 1792, John Roosevelt was forced to sell his store and house to his second cousin Isaac Roosevelt.
The wealthiest of the 18th-century Roosevelts, Isaac immediately turned the store over to John and Nicholas's brother James J. Roosevelt. James opened a hardware business on the site which evolved into the family firm of Roosevelt & Son. His business quickly became a large-scale operation supplying imported hardware, mostly Dutch, to a burgeoning building trade.
By 1797 James was able to purchase 94 Maiden Lane from the heirs of Isaac Roosevelt and in 1809-10 he replaced the building on the site with a new store. To accommodate the widening of Maiden Lane in 1822-23, a portion of the store building was taken down and a new Greek Revival style facade was erected .
The 18th-century dwelling and stable erected by Abraham Duryea on the adjacent lot at 90-92 Maiden Lane were replaced by a brick and granite commercial building in 1827-28 which was later sold to James and John F. Trippe, dealers in medicines, paints, and oils.
The Trippes held the property until 1862 when it was repossessed by members of the Duryea family, who then leased the building to a plate-glass merchant.
Two buildings at 9 and 11 Cedar Street, immediately behind 90-92 and 94 Maiden Lane, were erected soon after the street was opened in 1828. Part of a group of eight buildings on Pearl and Cedar Streets erected for Otis Loomer as a speculative investment, they were leased to a variety of merchants over the years.
Throughout the early 19th century James Roosevelt's business continued to prosper, dealing in imported hardware and introducing a line of imported window glass and mirrors. Eventually, under the direction of James's son, Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt, who had joined the firm in 1819, it became the country's leading importer of British and French plate glass, crystal plate glass, and mirrors.
The considerable profits produced by the firm allowed C.V.S. Roosevelt to invest heavily in real estate following the Panic of 1837. Between 1842 and 1845 C.V.S. Roosevelt doubled his already comfortable fortune and by 1868 he could count himself among the Astors, Rhinelanders and Lorillartis as one of New York's ten wealthiest landowners.
Two of his sons, James Alfred and Theodore (father of the future president), joined the firm in the 1850s, and two others, Silas Weir and Robert Barnwell, became attorneys, establishing offices at 94 Maiden lane. Conditions at 94 Maiden lane had become sufficiently cramped to warrant leasing space at 7 and 9 Cedar Street, which by 1857 were connected to 94 Maiden Lane by narrow passages.
A decision was made to expand again in 1869 and James A. Roosevelt purchased 90-92 Maiden lane and 9 and 11 Cedar Streets.
In April 1870 plans were filed to join the buildings, alter them internally, and erect a new iron front with mansard roof on Maiden lane and a new brick facade with an iron storefront on Cedar Street.
Designed in the then fashionable Second Empire style, the Maiden lane facade featured corner pavilions framed by rusticated piers, arched window surrounds set off by half-columns and a roof covered with fishscale slates pierced by segmental pedimented dormers.
The Department of Building's Alterations Docket for 1870 lists Michael Grosz & Son, an iron foundry, as responsible for these alterations, but they are attributed to Charles Wright, an architect who was associated with the firm.
Charles Wright
A Long Island resident, Charles Wright was listed as an architect in the New York City directories between 1867 and 1878. In every year except 1873, his office address was given as 45 Greene Street, the location of the Grosz foundry; the termination of his practice in New York coincided with the closing of the foundry following the deaths of Michael and Frederick Grosz in 1878.
Wright's work in Manhattan included a number of tenements on the Lower East Side, stables in Greenwich Village (8 MacDougal Alley of 1871 and 134-36 West 10th Street of 1874), rowhouses in Mid town, and mercantile buildings in the old dry goods districts now known as Tribeca, SoHo, and Ladies' Mile.
His commercial works included a number of cast-iron buildings, among them 913 Broadway (1872, altered) for Peter Goelet, 13 East 19th Street (1874, demolished) for Robert Goelet, 34 Greene Street (1873) for Julius Leopold, and the Grosvenor Building, 385 Broadway (1875) for Matilda Grosvenor and Charlotte Goodridge.
The surviving buildings are all handsome Second Empire structures which like 90-94 Maiden lane feature flattened segmental arches supported by engaged columns. In several the treatment of ornament is also similar to that of 90-94 Maiden lane. No. 34 Greene Street, for example, also employs diamond-point rustication, spandrel panels decorated with paterae, unfluted columns, and paneled piers decorated with a pattern similar to that used on the frieze beneath the mansard at 90-94 Maiden lane.
In addition to this stylistic evidence, which strengthens the attribution of 90-94 Maiden Lane to Wright, it should be noted that he is known to have worked for the Roosevelts on at least two occasions: first in 1869 when he designed a one-story addition to the C.V.S. Roosevelt house at Broadway and 14 th Street and again in 1873 when he planned an alteration at 90-94 Maiden Lane that replaced wood supports in the mansard with iron girders. Michael Grosz & Son was listed as the builder for that alteration.
Michael Grosz & Son
Michael Grosz was first listed in the New York City directories in 1837 as a smith with a business at 8 Watts Street. By 1840 he had moved his business and residence to 45 Greene Street. Through the 1840s and early ' 50s he continued to be listed in the directories as a blacksmith or whitesmith. He began manufacturing iron railings, vault lights, and rolling shutters at some point in the 1850s and was listed as a dealer in iron railings in the directory of 1856.
His son, Frederick H. Grosz, established his own foundry at 45 Greene in 1856 and began manufacturing railings and vault lights. Father and son were listed separately in the directories until 1865 when they formed Michael Grosz & Son.
By that time Michael had begun manufacturing architectural ironwork and had conducted an extensive business with the government during the Civil War years. In the post-war period, under the direction of Michael Grosz and Frederick Grosz, who began taking over increasing responsibility from his father, the "firm built many of the iron buildings erected by the Goelets, Roosevelts and Astors."
According to Frederick Grosz's obituary in the New York Tribune their projects included Steinway Hall at 109 East 14th Street (1866, demolished) and the "Broadway store of Lord & Taylor" (presumably the cast-iron fronted building at Broadway and 20th Street designed by James H. Giles in 1869). The firm also specialized in the manufacture of bank vaults, including those of the Union Trust Company, the Bank of North America, and Chemical Bank.
In the 1870s Michael Grosz & Son also occasionally supplied architectural designs to clients. In addition to the alterations at 90-94 Maiden lane the firm is listed in the Building Department docket books as architect for a pair of iron warehouses at Thomas and Hudson Streets (1870-71, demolished), a four-story tenement at 64 Frankfort Street (1872, demolished), and a building for the Orthopaedic Dispensary and Hospital at 126 East 59th Street (1872-73, demolished).
Presumably these commissions were awarded to the firm because it maintained an architectural staff, who in addition to designing architectural elements such as columns and cornices for the foundry's stock, would also have been available to plan entire facades or buildings for clients who did not want to go to the expense of hiring their own architect.
Such an arrangement is known to have existed at the Architectural Ironworks, where the English architect George H. Johnson and Horace Badger were employed as designers.
As Charles Wright was the only architect listed in business directories of the period as working at 45 Greene Street, it can be deduced that he served in a similar capacity at Michael Grosz & Son and that some sort of agreement had been worked out that also allowed him to have private clients—hence the listings in his name in the Building Department records.
The Architectural Ironworks of New York
In addition to their business arrangements with Charles Wright, the Groszes apparently established a connection with Daniel Badger's Architectural Ironworks of New York, a leading innovator in the field of cast iron. Badger was a former blacksmith from Woburn, Massachusetts, who erected a cast-iron storefront in Boston in 1842, which he claimed was the first structure of iron ever seen in America. In 1843, he bought a patent from A.L. Johnson for rolling iron shutters, used to make windows burglar-proof.
The combination of iron storefront and shutters which came to be known as "Badger fronts" was highly successful. In 1846, Badger opened his business in New York, where his first major commission was for the storefronts of the A.T. Stewart Store at Broadway and Chambers Street.
It was not until the 1850s that Badger began to fabricate full cast-iron fronts.
His foundry was incorporated as the Architectural Ironworks in 1856. In 1865 he published a catalogue of the foundry's works, which listed hundreds of storefronts and over thirty full cast-iron fronts. These were shipped all over the United States and to several foreign countries.
Three extant buildings, 48-50 Walker Street (illustrated as plate XV, no. 7 in the catalogue), 93 Reade Street of 1857 (an almost exact copy of a building on Broadway illustrated as plate XV, no. 8), and 74 Reade Street (listed on page 32), have vault lights marked with the F.H. Grosz foundry plate suggesting that a long-standing relationship existed between the firms.
The Architectural Ironworks was also involved with 90-94 Maiden Lane, since its foundry plate is displayed on a rusticated pier on the Maiden Lane facade; however the exact nature of its role in relation to the Grosz foundry is unknown.
It seems possible that the Grosz firm may have elected to fabricate part of the ironwork for the building but sub-contracted part of the work (perhaps the larger pieces which would have been difficult to cast in the limited confines of 45 Greene Street) to the Architectural Ironworks which had extensive facilities at its 14th Street factory.
Alternatively Michael Grosz & Son may have acted primarily as designers, perhaps supplying wooden patterns from which the castings were made and overseeing construction, but leaving the actual casting up to the Architectural Ironworks.
Nos. 90-94 Maiden Lane, then, is an important late work of the Architectural Ironworks, a firm which must be regarded as one of the leading forces in the development and manufacture of architectural cast iron in this country during the 19th century.
Cast-iron Architecture and the Second Empire Style in lower Manhattan
Although never as numerous as in the mercantile districts now known as Tribeca and SoHo, at least thirty-eight cast-iron-fronted buildings were located in the downtown area of Manhattan from Fulton Street to the Battery by the mid-1880s.
The majority of these were located on Broadway, Fulton Street, and in the area around Wall and Pearl Streets. On Maiden Lane near Broadway, where the jewelry trade was concentrated, there were iron-fronted buildings at 5-7, 9-11, and 25 Maiden Lane. Further down the street, almost opposite 90-94 Maiden Lane, a cast-iron building had been erected by 1868 for Charles Pfizer & Company, manufacturers of chemicals and drugs.
Around the corner at William and Cedar Streets, Griffith Thomas's cast-iron-fronted Kemp Building was erected in 1870-71. Also in the surrounding area were the New York Real Estate Exchange at 59-65 Liberty Street, the Union Building at William and Pine Streets, and the Seaman's Bank Building at Pearl and Wall Streets, all with cast-iron fronts. Many of these buildings were erected in the post-Civil War era as earlier Greek Revival style counting houses in downtown Manhattan were replaced with more specialized structures.
The post-war buildings, whether cast-iron or masonry, usually incorporated elevators and employed the most up-to-date building techniques which made possible the construction of taller buildings than previously possible.
The majority were designed in the then fashionable Second Empire style, characterized by its use of French Renaissance style ornament and mansard roofs. The most notable of these new buildings was Arthur Gilman and Edward Kendall's masonry Equitable Building at Broadway and Cedar Streets (1868-72), which many scholars regard as the first skyscraper. Other masonry Second Empire style buildings included Griffith Thomas's Continental Life
Insurance Building of 1862-63 at 100-102 Broadway and National Park Bank of 1866-68 at 214-16 Broadway, Alfred B. Mullett's Courthouse and Post Office of 1869-80 at city Hall Park, and Henry Fembach's Staats-Zeitung Building of 1870-73 on Tryon Row.
Like 90-94 Maiden Lane, a number of other buildings were modernized during this period, including the Mutual Life Insurance Building at Nassau and Cedar Streets and the Bank of New York at Wall and William Streets, both of which had mansards added during the 1870s.
Today none of the above-mentioned buildings except 90-94 Maiden lane survive and only seven cast-iron fronted buildings remain standing in lower Manhattan between Fulton Street and the Battery.
These include: 63 Nassau Street, an 1830s building given a new cast-iron front around 1860, apparently by the cast-iron pioneer James Bogardus; the Italianate style Germania Building of 1865 at 151 Broadway; 90-94 Maiden Lane, remodeled in 1870-71; Arthur Gilman's Bennett Building at Nassau and Fulton Streets of 1872-73; 114-116 Fulton Street of c. 1880-85; James Farnsworth's 102-104 Fulton Street of 1895-96; and Francis Kimball's remodeling of 20 John Street of 1909, the latter two combining cast iron and pressed metal elements.
Of these, 90-94 Maiden Lane is the southernmost cast-iron-fronted building in Manhattan and due to the fact that the Bennett Building lost its original mansard when it was raised from six to ten stories in 1888, it is the only remaining mansarded Second Empire style business building in the Financial District.
Thus 90-94 Maiden lane is not only an elegant building but also a rare survivor of a once prolific type which flourished in the Financial District in the post-Civil War era.
Description
Four early 19th-century buildings were joined to form the present building at 90-94 Maiden lane, a four-story structure on a slightly irregular through-the-block lot which has a frontage of fifty-nine feet on Maiden Lane and forty-four feet on Cedar Street. On Maiden Lane the building is faced with cast iron and crowned by a mansard roof. Rusticated corner pavilions frame five central bays which are divided by unfluted engaged columns. Cornices set off the individual stories.
The first story is trabeated, the central bays on the second and third stories are crowned by flat arches, while the pavilions contain a trio of arches resting on slender pilasters. The column capitals and spandrels are decorated with paterae, modillions and stylized brackets enrich the first story cornice, there is a dentil course on the second story cornice, and console brackets and a paneled frieze are found above the third story.
The arrangement of windows and doors on the first story has been changed several times over the years. The wood and glass entrance is only a few months old, the window treatment of the center bays dates from about 1910, the window and transoms in the eastern end bay were installed in the 1920s; however, the paneled iron bulkhead beneath appears to be original to the facade and reflects the original tripartite arrangement of the window bays which is that of the upper stories.
A foundry plate labeled "Architectural Ironworks of N.Y." is clearly visible on the pier separating the eastern pavilion from the center bays. Though obscured by paint, there appear to be similar plates on the piers flanking the western entrance bay.
The second and third stories retain their original wood frames and double-hung wood one-over-one sash. The mansard is now covered with seamed sheet metal, instead of the original fishscale slates, and the dormers, now with triangular pediments, contain new windows, both the result of a 1960s alteration.
On Cedar Street the building has four full stories topped by a flat roof. The facade is faced with red brick (now painted) above a cast-iron storefront and is divided into six bays. On the ground story the bays are separated by iron piers which are articulated as pilasters with paterae on their capitals similar to those used to decorate the capitals and spandrels on the Maiden Lane facade.
The piers support a simple entablature with a projecting cornice. The openings between the piers has been sealed with brick infill. There is a modern metal and glass door in the first bay (from left to right) and a pair of steel doors surmounted by a wood transom bar in the fifth bay.
The upper stories originally had segmental arched windows with stone sills; all but the window openings in the first bay have brick infill. The remaining windows are wood-framed two-over-two double-hung sash. The facade is crowned by a corbeled brick cornice with projecting comer brackets.
Subsequent History
In the 1870s as the market for imported plate glass was contracting due to increased domestic production, the Roosevelts decided to leave the glass business. Reportedly the firm's last major commission was to supply plate glass to Chicago builders following the Great Fire.
In 1876, Roosevelt & Son moved from Maiden Lane, settling temporarily at 216 Pearl Street, before establishing itself permanently at 32 Pine Street. Led by James Alfred Roosevelt, who took control following the death of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., in 1878, the firm turned to investment banking specializing in the underwriting of railroad and communication company bonds—notably the Great Northern Railroad and Atlantic and All American Cable Companies.
It is unclear how 90-94 Maiden Lane was used during the last quarter of the 19th century, though it remained in Roosevelt hands. In 1910 the building underwent a number of interior and storefront alterations to accommodate a new tenant, Sussfeld & Lorch & Co., importers of optical goods who moved there from a neighboring building on Maiden Lane.
In 1919 the Fire Company's Corporation, owner of the adjacent building at 80 Maiden Lane, purchased 90-94 Maiden Lane to prevent any future obstruction of the windows on the east side of its building. The buildings remain in common ownership today.

One such face painting book I was reading said that there are no mistakes in face painting.
This was not my original design at all. My goal was to take on a reptillian appearance, but that obviously failed. I started with a base coat of blue paint, much the color of the wig. Then I took a wig cap and put it on top of my face, and went over that with a coat of black. However, I realized 2 minutes in, that the basecoat should have been black, and the over color should have been blue, and that I used way to much water on my sponge. You can see a little of what the effect was supposed to look like on my bottom lip and on my cheeks.
After removing the cap, I realized that the design was a fail, so I took to a brush and just went wild with swirlies. I've not done a dark paint in a while, so what's old is new again. I tried a couple of wigs with this, but this one I think, made the tiny bits of blue that are still visible, pop just a tad.
I think I'll finish this week out with one or two more face paintings, and then I'll go back to my non-imaginative real face and life. I must say, that this has been really fun. My past 365 project brought the power of transformation to the forefront for me. I mean taking pictures of your normal face for 365 days gets a little boring. I mean, most of us hate taking that employee picture or that school book picture, and that's just once or twice a year...now imagine 365 images of yourself...well, I didn't have to imagine...I did it!
What's on the docket today: well, I just got my official camera bag in the mail today, and it has surpassed my expectations. Will post a pic soon. Whatever I'm going to do today, it needs to involve a lot of walking. I've been cooped up all week and I need to release some of that energy. I'm surfing the net to find a new photography project. I need to get back to my photo adventure Saturdays. I've been on vacation and traveling the last 2 weeks, so its nice to be grounded and in some sort of controlled routine again.

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.

The late afternoon sun splashes a warm glow across the decaying facade of the abandoned Laine's Grocery Store. It was built in the mid 1850's but has been empty since the early 1980's El Nino floods damaged her. She dies a slow death. Restoration or repair is not on the docket, just letting her be what she is until she is gone seems to be the agenda.

Chassis number : 2AU
Describing its displayed wares as ‘the best cars in the world’ at the 1906 Olympia Motor Show, over one hundred years later Rolls-Royce has developed a hallowed reputation for smoothness, silence, grace and reliability the world over.
This particular 7-litre car – chassis number 2AU/engine number E71676/ registration number BF5105 – holds a significant place in the history of not one but two marques: Rolls-Royce and Bugatti. It was purchased in 1926 by Ettore Bugatti who sought inspiration for his soon-to-be conceived luxury car, the Bugatti Royale. Indeed, in a letter to Dr Espanet as early as 1913 he writes of a car ‘larger than a Hispano-Suiza’, which appears to have been crossed out and altered in his own hand to ‘Rolls-Royce’.
This machine, sporting its original Million-Guiet French coachwork – as ordered by the Rolls-Royce factory – was the marque’s display car at the Paris Salon, which was arguably the most prestigious car show in the world at that time. It was then sold in early 1925 to Monsieur Dutasta of Paris, before being acquired by the automobile alchemist, Ettore Bugatti. What exactly Ettore did with the car is unclear, but what is known is that it was loved and used as a family car for nearly forty years before being sold in 1963 to French racing driver, Maurice Trintignant, who had been looking after the car for the Bugattis. As ownership endorsements go, it frankly doesn’t get much better…
In 1966 the car was sold to Pierre Delliere who displayed it for some time in his Musee Automobile de Provence in Orgon. Then, in the 1970s, the car was acquired by Count Frederic Chandon de Brialles who oversaw the total restoration of its leather interior and coachwork. In later life (2003) the Rolls was purchased by Formula One driver, Jean Alesi, before current custodian, a Mr Daniel Brooks, took ownership two years later.
An extensive history file accompanies the car, including the inspection dockets from the original build, restoration documentation and accompanying photographs.

Accident occurred Thursday, March 04, 1999 in KANSAS CITY, MO
Probable Cause Approval Date: 01/10/2001
Aircraft: Douglas DC-9-15F, registration: N195US
Injuries: 2 Uninjured.
The airplane was cleared to land on runway 19R at the Kansas City International Airport. The first officer said that the airplane was on speed and on course for the visual approach. 'The captain had just called the 1,000 feet [above the ground] call when a flock of snow geese suddenly illuminated in our lights, engulfing us from below, flying into us. No birds hit the windshields, but it was immediately apparent they had flown into the engines.' The captain said that he had the airplane, advanced the power on both engines, and ordered the first officer to reset the flaps to 30 degrees, the single- engine flap position. 'The number one engine continued to compressor stall. The number two engine went to a sub-idle run condition.' The captain reduced the power on the number one engine 'enough to lessen the surge/stall condition to a rate of once every two seconds, which allowed just enough thrust to maintain the approach and to lower the vibration. The number one engine continued to compressor stall/surge to touchdown.' The touchdown was normal. Examination of the airplane revealed bird remains and substantial damage to both engines. No other anomalies were found.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
ingestion of birds into both engines, resulting in foreign object damage and the subsequent partial power loss to both engines. A factor relating to this accident was the dark night.

My Own Prison: Creed, My Own Prison
This is a rather dark song from Creed, touching in on the darker side of religion with judgment, doom, angels and demons. This song really sums a lot about the life of fear and what it’s like living under that fear… it’s a horrible part of life to live by and under.
The point to this song really is that we have the keys to freedom, but we keep ourselves shackled by fear- where love sets us free. I have been shackled and set free. Once we’re free we either live and experience life, or stay in one place… isn’t that still bound?
The lyrics paint such a wonderful imagery of judgment day- influence of angels and demons and all the religious imagery. The song being played in “Drop-D” always gives that little extra edge of Darkness to it. I am very glad that Creed reunited because they have a lot of talent… but I am hoping their follow up album is better than the last year release!

Lyrics:
A court is in session A verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today, just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale the cage made of steel
Screams fill the room alone I drop and kneel
Silence now the sound my breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around my face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence expecting no return
Here there is no penance my skin begins to burn
So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside which
only fuels there selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head no time for
mourning - ain't got no time
I cry out to God seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison
You can find several circumstances of couples who elevate little ones which have been not their own individual. Adoption could be the main explanation for this. Moms and dads of adopted children have found the capability to love a toddler that is not biologically theirs. To them, shared DNA isn't a second assumed. However, there may be a lesser acknowledged group which is on the rise. This group would be the gentlemen who will be unsure of the paternity of the kid which they may or may not have fathered with their husband or wife and however opt to just take a role while in the parenting.
Innovations in engineering just about every working day and built less difficult and even more economical to check paternity in as tiny being a week. Prolonged back individuals may possibly have contacted at daytime converse exhibit because this was the only entry to a paternity take a look at they could have.
Many gentlemen would simply just stroll away from the relationship if through tests of paternity it confirmed that there is a 0% prospect they might hassle. This assertion is completely fair and many people would concur. Taking obligation for a child is emotionally and monetarily exhausting. What's this human being are not able to consider care of on their own economically and now tasked with supporting a child which will not be biologically associated. This results in being this primarily tricky if the boy or girl gets outdated adequate to understand which the individual they believed was their father will not be concerned. This will also be hard for that male to depart a kid which they lifted.
There are several scenarios of adult men who later come across and verify that they're not the father in the kid they lifted. These fathers elevate the child as their particular and for them sharing DNA isn't consider their relationship. Top quality this sort of as that is exception.
An exceptionally troubling facet of this is the truth the little one might happen to be conceived in the course of a crack up or worse an affair. This could bring on thoughts of symbolizing the child together with the unsuccessful romantic relationship. Provided time and at times counseling lots of fathers and choose to lift the child as their very own.
Ignoring the genetics these fathers, despite the original psychological discomfort, shopping for the job of elevating a youngster very gratifying. Marriages and associations may become stronger given that the few bond and share in the race shop. This is actually the most effective scenario state of affairs. But as numerous men and women know this is not the norm.
Sad to say, this is simply not always as easy when you might imagine. If a man finds out he's not the father, but nonetheless wishes being a part of that child’s existence, he would wish to own the blessings with the mother. The mother may possibly want this or she could choose to find out who the actual father is so she will accumulate little one assistance amid other factors. Too, that child has a correct to understand who her or his organic father is that if for no other motive than the ability to garner household clinical background. It really will become extremely challenging with regard to moral, legal, and moral ramifications for these families.
These situations have brought about an increase in DNA tests for relationships. The raising acceptance as discovered people today all around the Usa and the environment sending samples to labs for testing. Assortment of samples is rather simple which is done using a basic saliva swab from your interior cheek. Advancements while in the technologies use plus the maximize in testing is lobbyist should be inexpensive and precise. This is often really helpful for those who are only interested curiosity and never for legal functions applied in the court docket of legislation.
The key difference between Legal and Non-legal paternity tests is what will and will not maintain up inside a court of law. Just put, Non Legal Screening does not have to have an identification verification method, meaning the effects will not hold up in the court docket of law. Also to curiosity testing getting extra reasonably priced than ever before, exams can commonly be dispatched directly to your own home (or maybe sent to 2 different addresses if needed), which eradicates the inconvenience of finding a laboratory inside your region. Nevertheless, make certain to do your investigation, as some companies will mail samples to other nations around the world that don't set the identical high expectations that the USA calls for.
When choosing a examination for legal functions, you can need to pick out a business that works by using labs which have been AABB and ISO accredited, as these accreditations are essential for legal tests to carry up in court docket. Also, you could wish to think about wherever the sample might be tested once they are attained. Once again, do your research on wherever samples are sent once they are gathered on the laboratory.
These exams share the same accuracy whether it's home paternity or legal paternity. Both kinds of screening endure the rigorous double-blind testing, which means that distinctive land tax from diverse screening laboratories will perform two entirely separate tests from your similar sample. Just after tests a 3rd laboratory technician will watch the outcome and compared, final results ought to be meticulously assess and in comparison right before there will be finalized. These ways make certain that human error are unable to impact the end result from the tests.
With DNA paternity testing it could possibly seem a little bit confused taking into consideration the reality that it bargains together with the paternity on the kid. The thought of staying a father can be terrifying and intimidating and once you insert the point that the kid may not biologically be yours it may possibly make the specific situation tough. Any individual can father baby but it requires a exclusive individual to become a superb father. The decision to learn the paternity on the child is often a selection you have to make for yourself and what feels ideal for you.

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.

A group of students and teachers from California gained knowledge about Birmingham’s segregated educational past by visiting the Birmingham Public Library as part of a civil rights tour of Alabama.
The students and teachers from Oakwood School, a private K-12 school in North Hollywood, visited Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma. While in Birmingham, they visited the Central Library downtown. Here is background on Oakwood School: www.oakwoodschool.org/.
At the Central Library, the students saw the 1963 jail docket that records the arrest of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights demonstrators, bomb fragments from the 1962 bombing of Bethel Baptist Church, and an early copy of the "Letter from Birmingham Jail," said Jim Baggett, head of the Archives and Manuscripts Department in Central Library.
Baggett talked to the Oakwood students and teachers about BPL’s civil rights documents, and took a photo of the group as they discussed maps that show Birmingham's segregated school districts from the 1940s. This is the second time students from Oakwood have visited BPL. Over the years, the Birmingham Public Library has hosted teacher groups from across the United States and teachers from around the U.S. and England.

In Green Township, Ohio, a high school art class has found a unique way to fuse an art history lesson with an art class. Each year, a teacher has the students paint their car- no, not paint an image of the car, but actually put paint on the vehicle- in a style of a famous artist. 2011’s artist was Claude Monet, and the students all painted a car in the style which Monet made famous. The teacher whose car is used gets to select the artist of their choice for the inspiration. The group of young artists learns about the artist and then imitates their style.
In 2012, the artist of choice was the famous pop America artist Peter Max. Max’s art has evolved over time, and as a true pop artist he has remained connected with what the public want and has been able to keep his art current and relevant. In the 1960s, he was known for his counter cultural psychedelic art and is credited for single handedly created the poster craze. After that point, Peter Max art has focused on mixed media elements, patriotic and humanitarian themes. For this project, the class needed to narrow down the scope, so they emphasized Peter Max’s 1960s style first credited for turning him into a famous artist. The students say that the final product was inspired by the famous Beatles Album Yellow Submarine, which interestingly enough was not created by Peter Max. The art was created by another artist inspired by Peter Max’s 1960s style. In addition to Peter Max art influences, the painted car also paid homage to the Cleveland area with local images included the skyline integrated into the finished product.
What’s on the docket for next year? Well, the teacher whose car is being used selected the famous Vincent Van Gogh. It should produce some interesting and exciting results!
The court docket was filled with suits concerning mining claims. Criminal cases were not as common as you may think.
A Saturday, July 11th, view of the Waitomo fuel stop signage at Foxton's Tasman Fish & Cafe on SH1 that was the site of Foxton BP until the pumps closed on Friday, July 18th, 2008, and for almost 7 years, Foxton Mobil, about a kilometre north up the highway, has had the Foxton fuel sales monopoly since.
But all that changed on the afternoon of Friday, July 10th, when the 24/7 self-serve Pay 'N Pump Waitomo fuel stop opened for business, selling 91 octane for $1.89.9 a litre, forcing Foxton Mobil to drop their price from $2.04.9 to $1.93.9 a litre, bringing a healthy return of competition for Foxton motorists and into the bargain making Foxton fuel cheaper than in nearby Levin and Palmerston North.
PETROL PUMPS OFF AS FOXTON BP WINDS UP
22/07/2008
Foxton shoppers who cherish their discount fuel vouchers will now have to travel at least 20km to cash them in.
On Friday [18 July 2008] the local BP petrol station officially switched off its pumps in preparation for shutting-up shop for good.
The closure is a blow to residents who buy their groceries at the local New World, which offers a discount at BP on its dockets.
Local New World owner-operator George Samson had not been warned the BP was closing, and said he was "shocked" by the news, and disappointed for his customers.
The discount vouchers were important to a lot of people, but now they would be worthless because people would have to travel to Levin or Palmerston North to use them, he said.
"Now my customers are going to say they're a waste of time, because I have to spend money to try and save money."
But he did not expect there to be any long-term effects on his business.
Jean and Stuart Marshall have owned the BP for 20 years and had about 10 employees, who were a mix of full and part-time.
While the pumps were off, the shop was remaining open until remaining stock was cleared, Mrs Marshall said yesterday.
She would not say why they had decided to close.
"I'd prefer not to make any comments."
Soaring fuel costs had made life hard though, she said.
"Petrol pricing is an issue that affects everybody, and margins are almost non-existent for independent operators. It makes it very difficult."
An armed robbery in May had played a role in the decision, but was not the deciding factor, she said.
"We've had several [robberies], and it's all part of the mix."
It was sad having to shut the doors. "Twenty-years of our life here, and we basically built it from a little garage."
They were yet to decide what they would do with the land, and she would not say what would happen to any remaining fuel or the tanks.
BP New Zealand spokeswoman Diana Stretch said they were in negotiations with the Marshalls about the issue.
Mobil Foxton owner Bob Wilkinson said tiny margins and a growing number of drive-offs meant it was a hard business to be now.
They had been marginally busier since the closure, but he was sad to see the competition closing.
"I'd rather see both of us thriving, but in the present climate it's very difficult to do that." - Manawatu Standard
