Charter and Code of the City Of Buffalo, NY

I was looking for the "CHARTER AND CODE OF THE CITY OF
BUFFALO" So I went to the city of buffalo site to try and find the entire ch and after a but of searching I found a link on the city of Buffalo site that takes you to an external site with the codes.

Either way here is the charter and code of the city of Buffalo in case anyone else is looking for them.

Here is the online viewer version:

And here is the basic viewer version:

What's even more ridiculous is that the terms of service say this might not even be the most current or legislation.

The on-line municipal codes ("E-Codes") and/or any other documents that appear on this Website may not reflect the most current legislation adopted by the municipality. General Code provides E-Codes for informational purposes only. E-Codes should not be relied upon as the definitive authority for local legislation. Additionally, the formatting and pagination of E-Codes varies from the formatting and pagination of the official copy. The official printed copy of a code of ordinances should be consulted prior to any action or decision being taken.

It seems like the city should have to just provide the most current version of this information in a single document format on their own website. Is it really so expensive to maintain this compared to farming it out to vet another vendor?

Buffalo 311 Holiday

So the people at the church next store were parked on the grass again today but for once that is not the focus of this entry. The weird thing these ones are parked half on and half off the grass. Clearly they have enough room to just part on the stones. I wonder if the problem is that the edge of the grass is muddy from them driving on it, so they went to park further over to get out on more solid grass.

I decided to call 311 again but when you call today it says they are not open due to the holiday. Really? Good friday is Buffalo City holiday. That seems so ridiculous. All of their workers are Christians?

I also found a city of Buffalo Document that says parking of standing in front of a private driveway is a $20 fineable offense.

The waterfront by lasalle park

I took this pic of the waterfront near lasalle park from on top of city hall. I wonder what the part of town used to be where those apartments and the school ate located. Was lasalle park larger or were they houses that got knocked down?

Still parked on the lawn

The car is back in the lawn.

Parking on the grass is definately illegal. This morning I called the city to confirm.

Just in case the church "doesn't know which this is." I am adding a license number.

Remuddled or Original

I am sure this place looked much nicer when it was red brick. The thing I wonder most is, what was up with the front entrance. Clearly the top stone appears fancy but then the inner brickwork which narrows the passage is so ugly. What's the deal?

a. Simply a remudle added onblater to support it?
b. It just looked better in red brick?
c. It never looked good?

Parking on the lawn

(e:Matthew) talked on the phone with the warden from the church last night. The guy sounded surprised people parked on the lawn. Then this morning as I left for work - another car on the lawn.

Who the fuck thinks it's normal to park on the lawn in an urban setting? Especially one with plenty of free street parking and even a spot in the driveway right next to it.

It is so trashy looking, not that the grounds at the church can look much trashier at this point with all the grass ripped up from the plow and the leaves from last year having destroyed the remaining grass.

Internet Issue?

Weird, our internet went down for like 20 minutes. Well not all connectivity - but all domain resolution on each computer at once. They are all trusting the router, which in turn uses time warner's DNS. Then it suddenly came back up. The weird thing is amazon and buffalo rising worked the whole time.

Primary DNS Server: 24.92.226.11
Secondary DNS Server: 24.92.226.12

Maybe I should switch back to opendns.

I've fucking had it

I joke woke up at 7am to have the "doctor" take my $20, touch my throat and tell me my tongue looks freaking normal. It does not look normal. Then she said it might just be retaining the color of food I have eaten. I had to leave or I was going to kill her.

After a really stressful evening it turned an even prettier orange.

kookcity2000 writes at 11:15:14 04/20/11 - Comment #61924: you can use my tongue for the next six months if you promise to stop posting those gross pics

tinypliny writes at 03:12:28 04/19/11 - Comment #61887: No, you certainly don't have this. I have been reviewing several citations of this article and things don't add up in your case.

tinypliny writes at 02:39:39 04/19/11 - Comment #61885: Please note. Not not.

tinypliny writes at 02:39:17 04/19/11 - Comment #61884: Finally. :::link:::

Please not that I am not saying that this is it. In fact, I am not even sure I should be sharing this with you when I have no basis or even reason for thinking in this direction. Consider it as merely some food for thought about what could possibly be orange...

tinypliny writes at 02:34:11 04/19/11 - Comment #61883: Hmmm... Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon = 4 days. That does not count as several days! Give it some more time...

Stressful? In what way? How do you define stress? (I am really curious now... ) Did you experience any heartburn along with the stress? Did you happen to measure your saliva pH today evening?

I am uploading an article from 1985 that describe a saprophyte being responsible for a "golden orange tongue". I am still searching for proper documentation or even case histories of your (and several other people across the net) particular symptoms... So far, its a really elusive search. Maybe I am not using the accurate scientific keywords.

paul writes at 12:58:44 04/19/11 - Comment #61880: P.S. tiny - I have almost entirely changed my diet for several days now with no effect on the tongue. However, the heart burn is totally gone. I kind of think maybe that was more the green apple, no eating, jamming in food before yoga, eating right before bed thing.

tinypliny writes at 12:32:24 04/19/11 - Comment #61875: You will find this interesting: :::link:::

flacidness writes at 12:25:25 04/19/11 - Comment #61874: I'm so sorry babe. But really how can she say it's normal? And wtf thank you for takin the 20 bitch.....

tinypliny writes at 12:10:54 04/19/11 - Comment #61870: And yikers. I wash every leafy thing like a maniac. Three times or more if I am in an OCD mood. You should do the same even if it is organic or super-pesticide free. You just don't know what's in the soil. Organic just means they didn't use inorganic fertilizer or pesticides (and I sometimes doubt that even). You do realize what the best organic fertilizer is... human or animal excreta with PLENTY of organic organisms and fungi.

tinypliny writes at 12:05:12 04/19/11 - Comment #61869: Tempting. Very tempting! But the logistics of culturing scrapings is a bit more complicated than what we can possibly achieve at home. There are kits out there that can help students culture bacteria etc. at home. See: :::link::: and :::link:::

However, I am not sure that is your objective here. I think you are looking for an accurate diagnostic culture here, to determine what that organism is - if it is fungal or bacterial or whatever or maybe not an organism at all but some chemical reaction. This is so we can determine what is its favoured environment of growth and target measures at depriving it of this environment or maybe understand what exactly it is. With that objective in mind, you would need an absolutely sterile environment to avoid cross-contamination with foreign bacteria or fungi. It's not enough that you have a clean, bleached place. You need an air-controlled cell-culture hood to make absolutely sure that you are introducing no other organism but the organism of interest. Let's say you have this sterile hood from somewhere, the next step is setting up the culture in SEVERAL media - all of which don't come pre-prepared. This is because we don't know what that orange thing will grow best in. For example, they found that the Tuberculosis bacteria grows best in the LJ medium :::link::: after years of experimentation. All these media need to be sterile as well - to prevent contamination.

I could make a few basic media using recipes provided by the lab, but quite honestly I doubt my media making and culturing abilities without supervision - for diagnostic culturing. Many of these media etc. are provided to institutions by scientific companies like Fisher etc. I am not sure if they even supply individuals....

To cut my rambling short, yes it's possible to culture random organisms for fun at home (hey! that's how microbiology started centuries back!). But diagnostic culture is a completely different (sterile) beast that is next to impossible to achieve (with the degree of confidence you need) from a home setup.

I am wondering if you can request a culture from UB or any institutional microbiology lab or even a commercial lab without a prescription/order from a practicing physician... Some infectious disease-focused GPs who also do research can do these cultures in their lab...

Also, if by changing your diet habits, you see an improvement in the orange tongue symptoms, it will show indirectly that the organism (or chemical product) cannot survive in the changed environment of your mouth. In that case, why bother with the culture - when you know how to stop it from coming back?

paul writes at 10:34:24 04/18/11 - Comment #61867: I need a microbiology lab. Can I culture it myself with some investment? Do you know how to do that?

paul writes at 08:37:08 04/18/11 - Comment #61860: I don't wash my organic greens very well. Holy crap. I barely rinse them at all and honestly sometimes they are dirty. Ironically, I believed a little dirt was health. Maybe not then.

enknot writes at 04:37:21 04/18/11 - Comment #61851: BTW: this is why I'm in love with (e:tinypliny)

"I wish I worked in a microbiology lab. I want to take a scraping of that orange stuff and see what it grows..."

enknot writes at 04:36:22 04/18/11 - Comment #61850: but my presentation of this post was heightened by the fact that you and the banner are making the same face... you know, with your lounges out.

leetee writes at 11:10:13 04/18/11 - Comment #61832: maybe you need to stop eating orange food, Paul.

Yeah, not all doctors are good doctors.

I wish i had some advice for you. All i have are sympathies and well wishes!!

tinypliny writes at 10:22:05 04/18/11 - Comment #61826: BTW, I have a question - are you sure you wash your organic greens very well before eating them raw? Soil saprophytes are pretty hardy...
