My, my. It is a complicated process indeed. And it involves an awful lot of people, although the language says registering to go through the process will be considered being in compliance.How soon will all sitting school board members are fully processed?--Bernice

No sooner was the act concluded than the female attacked the male's head. I realized I was seeing proof of a disputed tale that the female cannibalizes the male after sex.The female began dragging the still-writhing male away.A tete-a-tete of the worst kind.Here the female uses her powerful forelegs to grip the carcass. Somehow she uses her skinny back legs to keep dragging the male along.The female grasps a wing.The hapless male is going to be devoured bit by bit.The female detached the male's legs and nibbled them like strands of spaghetti.The wing structure of the male was revealed as he was dragged around by the female.The mandibles of the praying mantis are scary-looking in action.My camera's battery failed before the denouement of this encounter. This saga precedes the formation of an egg case that will be attached to a twig to winter over in the garden. The female dies, and in the spring dozens of tiny mantids emerge from the egg case. Only a few make it through the summer and as we see, the males take part in reproduction at their own risk.Much has been written on whether female mantids actually kill their mates, but in a back yard on Block 832 Tuesday I saw the evidence that it happens. And now so have you.--Bernice

Saturday, Oct. 15, 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Workshop on Historic Wood Windows, a program aimed at homeowners whose dwellings have wooden windows, and are trying to decide whether to repair and preserve them, or do something else.

The city's new director of Public Works & Urban Development met the public at his first City Council meeting Tuesday. Since taking office Sept. 26, Eric Jackson

The council met in closed session to discuss personnel, specifically the Public Safety director and city administrator. Upon returning to open session, Council President Annie McWilliams

In ceremonial matters, the council recognized efforts of the "I Have A Dream" project which provided mentoring and support to students at Clinton School and is now getting ready to help 60 2012 graduates launch college studies. The group will hold a "Celebrating Our Dreamers" event on Oct. 25. The council also congratulated the Jam Steppers drill team on 30 years of training and competition.Planning Director Bill Nierstedt

Public hearings were held on the Special Improvement District and the six-month Temporary Year 2011 municipal budget. The governing body reappointed Owen Fletcher

Rebecca Williams

Council members split, 4-3, in passing a resolution to allocate $5,000 more for the investigation into payments made to WBLS for an Aug. 1, 2010 "Town Meeting." Those voting "yes" were Cory Storch

Bids for media, photography and videography services were rejected, as all were deemed "above reasonable cost," Acting City Administrator David Kochel

This is just a quick look at some highlights from the meeting. No doubt other bloggers will round out the reports. Mark Spivey

--Bernice

The meeting is 8 p.m. in Municipal Court, 325 Watchung Ave.Plaintalker attempted to review the council packet Saturday at the Plainfield Public Library, but staff there could not locate a packet for the Oct. 11 meeting. The agenda may be seen here, but as bloggers know, the documents related to agenda items often tell much more than the agenda listings. This week, there are several new items that were not discussed at the Oct. 3 agenda-fixing session, so bloggers will have to check the packet in the City Clerk's office for background.The personnel matters are not specified on tonight's agenda, but the city will need a new city administrator in early November as Acting City Administrator David Kochel's term ends. Kochel is the third person this year to serve as acting city administrator. With any luck, the city could get someone to serve as "permanent" city administrator through the end of the mayor's term on Dec. 31, 2013. Otherwise, expect to see more hand-offs to temporary appointees to cover day-to-day operations of the city.If in fact there is someone in the wings who is under consideration as city administrator, the council could add the appointment to tonight's agenda or could take action at a special meeting to name a new city administrator. On Oct. 3, Council President Annie McWilliams made an appeal to the administration to share plans for the transition of Kochel to his successor. Time is of the essence if there is to be a smooth transition.Meanwhile, council watchers are advised to bring a Kindle or somesuch to while away the time waiting for the council to emerge from closed session. --Bernice

It's a good thing for retailers that there are people like my daughter Audrey and my late mother, Jean, both shoppers par excellence, while I am the opposite. My mother's shopping forays on Central Avenue in East Orange during the 1940s were marked by her eye for quality and her quest for bargains. Audrey has the same traits and more, and I am the beneficiary without having to endure (for me) the ordeal of shopping.The slippers she sent me one year were so nice that I would not even wear them for about a year, then gave in when I saw the identical pair on an obviously seasoned and fashionable traveler in the Newark airport. The slippers were luxuriously comfortable and would have made air travel tolerable instead of a trial. They certainly brightened up many a day for me, once I overcame my awe of the brand name.As a young woman, my mother worked in Wanamaker's department store in Philadelphia. The legacy of her job in retailing was that she honored the marketing calendar that opened with January White Sales (invented by John Wanamaker in 1878) and rolled on through the year to winter holiday spend-o-ramas that made or broke a retailer's annual success.I am more interested in marking the year by solstices and equinoxes and have never been a good consumer of retail goods, but Columbus Day reminded me of one of those made-up shopping holidays. I checked online and found that even now, the Columbus Day coat sale is observed at Lord & Taylor, J.C. Penney and all points between.One of the worst assignments I had as a reporter was to cover Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when all good consumers are supposed to start their holiday shopping. My mood was as black as my turtleneck as I tried to interview consumers on their purchasing plans for the season.Now we also have Cyber Monday, when in 2011 sellers will be anxiously totting up sales of the Kindle Fire and the latest iPhone. But also in 2011 retailers will have to recognize that hard times will be sidelining a lot of would-be shoppers. No matter what the marketing ploy, those who are unemployed or on fixed incomes will most likely be skipping holiday spending this year. Even those who still have jobs may be chary of spending money until they see what the future holds. The line used to be, "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping," but before retailing there was another great American tradition called thrift: Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. Which concept will prevail as 2011 draws to a close?--Bernice

Today the temperature is supposed to rise through the high 80s, with sunshine to grace whatever outdoor activities you may have planned. Even if you haven't planned to be outside, take a walk or sit in the sun while you can. Chilly, rainy Autumn weather will return by mid-week.--Bernice

Spying a small male praying mantis and a large female nearby, I decided to observe their behavior while sorting oxalis corms. The male crept closer to the female, but I missed the moment when they began copulating.No sooner was the act concluded than the female attacked the male's head. I realized I was seeing proof of a disputed tale that the female cannibalizes the male after sex.The female began dragging the still-writhing male away.A tete-a-tete
