Basra and the sunshineCategory: pets
Basra played in the backyard and I hung out with (e:mike) and practiced more one handed cartwheels. The goal of back handsprings seems impossible at this point. Mike tried to convince me that the only thing stopping me from a no handed cartwheel is fear. He might be right but it seriously feels like hurling you face at the ground.

Linwood neighborhood tourCategory: linwood
We had a tour of the neighborhood this morning. It started out at the new intersection near my house and walked down to ferry visiting 4 houses along the way. It started at 9am which was a little early for me.
Our house was the first. Its so weird to see it through the trees.
Someday I want to do a home tour where the hallway upstairs is stripped and all the rooms are done. Maybe it can be the 24 Linwood 2020 vision at the rate we are moving.
440 is so amazing. It must be so hard to leave after putting so much customization into a home. They had this really neat glass bubble with real preserved butterflies inside.
The kitchen granite was so beautiful. Its hard to tell in the pic but there was solid chunks of clear crystal in it.
They had this custom fireplace brick/metal grate constructed from an old air duct grate from recovered from a bank.
The original leaded glass in the massive staircase window.
We also toured the former Block Club presidents porch where he reconstructed the porch which had previously been turned into a room for the house. The old carriage port was bricked in but they freed it and fixed the stone.
The car port is so nice. I am thoroughly jealous of their house.
While walking down the street we also toured the outside of one of the "problem properties" on the block. When we used to live at 444 this house was a serious blight. It had been a rooming house since the 1930 and by the mid 2000s it was full on ghetto. I used to cross the street when I had to walk to the subway station because people would always harass me and try and sell me drugs. Housing court finally shut it down thanks to the work of the block club. Supposedly, someone has bought it now and is going to reconstruct it.
The inside looks like a disaster to me. I am sure it can be fixed but that level of disrepair gives me a heart attack.
The Beau Fleuve has magnificant stairs.
The original windows are so lively.
At the end we toured the new "Home" headquarters being constructed in a building on the corner of W. Ferry and Main.

Another one in the 3rd pic from the bottom, flitting about in the left bottom corner of the doorway of the neglected house. Or maybe its just the sunlight.
And wow, till you pointed out it was granite, I thought, "What a mouldy, gross roof!" !!!

I think you captured a ghost on film. Look at the picture of the side parlor (third photo down). There is something on the couch on the right. Spooky!

"Our house was the first. Then Jim Macs, The BeauFleuve and finally 440 Linwood. 440 is so amazing."
If you look at the pics that follow immediately, "our house" = dilapidated building with boarded up windows and prominent garbage can in the middle of nowhere. lol

Orange Tongue For TinyCategory: orange tongue
As you can see the orange tongue can not take hold of the new tongue that grows out of the dead spots.
Wow (e:tinypliny), that link you posted was the lamest doc ever. It basically says, we found nothing, we have no idea.

heheh, it's a descriptive null report. What did you expect? It substantially more believable because it's not 1 or 2 patients but 188. And from it we learn that geographic tongue has no significant associations with major diseases and that previous smaller studies may have been barking up the wrong tree. That's an interesting finding - which is why it is all the more important to reconstruct a detailed personal history.

I am fascinated that the new parts of the tongue dont get orange. Maybe its trying to clear it self off.

I can't think of anything. The only thing would be the ugly fruits but I had like 4 per winter and the problem seems to have no relation to that time period.

Another question: Since when have you been eating that herbmare salt? Can you remember any new food that you have introduced into your diet since last year (and continued them on a regular basis)?

That's so interesting! If you can, could you please continue keeping a record of how you are eating and when you are eating everyday? I am very keen to see how changed timing of meals affects this cycle and the timing of the cycle. Also, a broad timeline of whatever you remember about your tongue symptoms since your Crohn's diagnosis would be interesting. It might help us narrow down aggravating factors...

Salting Your Sidewalk is Illegal?Category: city of buffalo charter
Who knew? Just about everyone salts their sidewalks in the winter yet according to Buffalo City Code 413-52 "Methods of removal and disposal locations (of snow)"
C. No person shall use salt, lime or any deleterious substance to remove snow or ice from the sidewalks or paved portion of any street or public place or from the track or tracks of any street surface railroad, except upon curves, switches, turnouts and at street crossings.
paul - 04/23/11 21:01
A home sidewalk is actually public right of way. You are responsible for upkeep and stuff but people can use it and do not need permission.

metalpeter - 04/23/11 17:35
Question is a home sidewalk you own Public or Private? I think what that means is Ice Melter is ok since it only harms the ice and snow and not sidewalk?

Mostly the disclaimer is to cover for the time lag between adopting a new or revised ordinance, codifying it, and posting it to the website. There's a strange little industry of municipal ordinance codification. My borough has never codified its ordinances and so no one really knows what they are unless you go look at them page by page in the ordinance book since 1871. The boro contracted the job to an outside company and it's about halfway through the codification process. Codification is how the ordinances are organized into chapters and sections out of the historical timeline of adoption, so that they can be made useful and available. I think we're getting them on CD, not online, so my dad & brother will be posting them on the community website, www.blossburg.org. Here are the codified laws of New York :::link:::
Wellsboro, Pa., (Tioga County seat) has a codified online zoning ordinance. They updated the conditional uses to include natural gas drilling in August, but the site still doesn't have the new info. The site is only usable in IE *grr* :::link:::

Charter and Code of the City Of Buffalo, NYCategory: codes
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.
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?

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.

What is the charter of code of the city of Buffalo? Is it like a constitution of some kind? Why were you looking for it? (I am lazy to click on that link and read it. Could you please give me a one line definition? Thanks. ;-))

He has this wise yoda look about him... I wonder if I can make a origami tortoise.
It's like Terry and Basra are doing some exotic yoga variation asana together. :)
