Last night our skatepark hosted the biggest premiere we've had to date. Riley Hawk and the Shep Dawgs brought out skaters from all over San Diego and LA to come in and check out their new video Volume 3. It probably didn't hurt that Tony Hawk Instagrammed the event, too. Needless to say, the skatepark was packed to capacity with people standing on trashcans to get gnarly parts from Riley, Rowan Zorilla, Taylor Smith, and the rest of the Dawgs. The filmer behind it all, Jacob Nunez, was selling copies after the premiere, which people were stoked on. Stay tuned for when copies are available online. You're going to want to cop one!

Thanks to this recipe, we're starting a campaign to make kabocha the new acorn or butternut. It's just as delicious, you don't have to peel it, and it's chef Daniel Holzman's favorite. We think it squashes the competition (sorry, couldn't resist).

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Republicans stuck between 'a Barack and hard place' must unite, stand firm, and go on offense
We averted the so-called fiscal cliff this week with mixed results: some say Republicans caved on raising taxes, some say Republicans protected most taxpayers, some Democrats thought Obama lost. I was surprised that Conservative Senator Ron Johnson voted for it and pleased that Senator Marco Rubio and our Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner didn't. But honestly, with our poor GOP leadership and under the no floor debate, lame duck, back room negotiating circumstances, I don't know how this could have been resolved in a positive way. If Republicans had voted it down, Obama would just have come back later to play the role of hero by enacting a middle tax cut, knowing he had already turned up the tax heat on all those evil rich. We would have needed more proactive leadership in Congress and have been discussing this all year long, not just in the eleventh hour.
The only positive thing to come out of the deal was that the Bush tax rates were made permanent for 98% of American earners. (Permanent as long as Republicans hold the majority in the House, that is.) But even this is Kabuki theater because our tax burden is still going up with other tax increases already in place as of Jan. 1st and new revenue increases via eliminating some deductions that were part of the fiscal cliff deal as well.
With the Bush tax rates now at least set for the 113th Congress, Republicans could for once in their lives go on the offense and get the message out that our out of control spending cannot, cannot continue. Republicans could redeem themselves by presenting a united front in the House and Senate and standing firm against increasing the debt ceiling by another 3 trillion dollars as the president wants.
But this will only work if they start talking about it now and are willing to draw the line in the debt ceiling sand and say, no further.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Pat Toomey talked about this on Jan. 2nd. McConnell said, "'We have an immediate opportunity to act: the debt ceiling,' McConnell said. 'Washington's credit card has reached its limit again, and the Senate majority must act on legislation early in February—rather than waiting until the last minute, abdicating responsibility and hoping someone else will step in once again to craft a last-minute solution for them.'"
Toomey was more emphatic, "'[Obama] got a $2 trillion debt limit increase just 17 months ago — blew through all that,'Toomey said on Morning Joe.'We will only solve this problem when we finally get the spending under control. And the debt ceiling, and after that, the continuing resolution expiration — those are the vehicles that give us the opportunity to insist on making progress on the real problem.'" He "suggested" a "partial government shutdown" may be necessary to make the point. That's where truly necessary spending is continued and funded via tax revenue income; non-essential spending is stopped.
Getting the Republican message out is a problem with the pro Obama Praetorian press ruling the media markets. Maybe Republicans could hire the same people who created Senator Ron Johnson's ads for his senate campaign. Johnson's ads were short, concise, and explained just what was at stake with our out of control spending. We really need messaging like that in the GOP. RNC, are you listening?
I urge you to contact your legislators and tell them to stand firm on the debt ceiling. We have less than a month to do this.

Greenfield & Moorland Walmart Public Hearing, 6 pm, Monday, Jan. 7, 2013
Brookfield District 7 Aldermen Lisa Mellone and Renee Lowerr sent out this email to alert Brookfield residents of New Berlin's proposed Walmart store Public Hearing:
"This email serves to inform you of a Public Hearing that is scheduled for Monday, January 7, 2013 at 6 p.m. at New Berlin City Hall, 3805 S. Casper Dr. for the newly proposed Walmart development which will replace the Charcoal Grill currently located near the southeast corner of Moorland and Greenfield roads. Please note, this is a NEW BERLIN proposal not Brookfield, and only New Berlin officials have authority on whether this project moves forward. However, any citizen is able to attend any municipal public hearing and you do not have to be a New Berlin resident. If you would like to find out more about this proposal then I encourage you to attend. No action will be taken by the New Berlin Plan Commission until February 4, 2013."
Thank you Lisa and Renee.
Let me repeat, this is NOT a City of Brookfield proposal; it is a City of New Berlin proposal, so do not contact your Brookfield officials or representatives about this. Only New Berlin has the authority to move this project forward or stop it.
The proposed Walmart would be on the south side of Greenfield Avenue, west of Highland Memorial Cemetery (I guess those neighbors won't complain), which makes it IN New Berlin, not Brookfield. It will be on the site the Charcoal Grill currently occupies. There is one homeowner on the edge of the proposed store property, marked as R-5 on the maps, the one east or right of the other R-5, which is a house owned and rented out by the cemetery, according to New Berlin Now. Other than the east R-5 there are no other privately owned and occupied homes near the store frontage.
This Walmart proposal would be for a 24 hour store with pharmacy and groceries. Should the proposed Walmart be approved, the current Walmart, on National and Moorland, which is the closest store to our area, would be closed.

Bald Eagle swims to capture prize; Conservatives must not give up either
I watched the following video clip with amazement. Since the American Bald Eagle is our national bird, I couldn't help but think of the symbolism of it all. Watch.
The eagle would not give up. He/she needed to get that fish to feed itself and possibly its young.
It did not succeed the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. try but kept at it until it succeeded.
But then the prize was too heavy to carry to safety in the traditional way. It had to do something I have never heard of or even knew was possible. IT SWAM with its WINGS as paddles!
Our liberties, our rights, our future, our constitution are all on the chopping block. We conservatives, who have been fighting against tyranny, have made a few valiant efforts to push back against those who would seek to change America as we know it. However, because we didn't prevail in the last presidential election, and many of our Republican representatives are backing down on fiscal restraint or standing up for our freedoms and Constitutional rights, we might feel like throwing in the towel on it all.
But keep fighting the fight to preserve our God-given rights.
Watch the eagle again, and take heart that sometimes the impossible is possible...if you don't give up..
Nature without Naturalism: New Thoughts on a New Earth, Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013, 7pm
What gardener doesn't long for a garden free of weeds, pests, and disease? And don't most of us want pure, toxin free water to drink, clean air to breathe, safe foods to eat , and a pristine environment to live in, where all can thrive in harmony on a renewed earth? In short, we are looking for a perfect world, an Eden.
Unfortunately, a perfect world like this is not possible on our earth at this time.
But there is a day coming when everything will be made anew, and this is the subject of this month's Creation Science Society of Milwaukee lecture: Nature Without Naturalism: New Thoughts on a New Earth.
In this presentation, Rick Albrecht, a West Allis -West Milwaukee science teacher, will team up with Tim Albers, a psychologist at local schools, both private and public, to bring us this seldom discussed program. These two rather hard-nosed realists will look at the subject of origins from the other end of history, from the viewpoint of our planet's destiny.
Contrary to popular misconceptions, Albrecht and Albers point out, the Bible predicts a restored, renewed, physical and "earthly" New Earth -- painting a picture that would dazzle even the most optimistic of environmentalists. The pathway to this magnificent destiny: taking naturalism out of nature.
In order to provide their audience with a rarely considered and fascinating view of our planet's wondrous future, their wide-ranging talk will cover subjects from genetic coding, information theory, and astrobiology to motivation theory, cosmology and paleontology.
This presentation is sponsored by the Creation Science Society of Milwaukee and is free and open to the public. The talk will take place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, January 22, at Brookfield Lutheran Church, 18500 W. Burleigh Rd., Brookfield, Wisconsin. Directions
More about the speakers:
Rich Albercht translated his love of mountains into a degree in geology. His career-long fascination with the topic of our universe's origins has led him to speaking engagements in many venues.
Tim Albers, a graduate adjunct professor at Concordia University Wisconsin who focuses on subjects from worldview analysis to the roots of school violence. He has presented creation - evolution issues in settings from the Audubon Nature Center to an international conference on Intelligent Design.
Upcoming events: Jay Seegert, Tuesday, February 26, 2013, Milwaukee Lutheran High School Cafeteria
Dr. Jerry Bergman, Tuesday, March 12, 2013, Grace Bible Church

The hypocricy of Obama's gun control to save just one life
Yesterday the President unveiled his 23 Executive Orders pertaining to gun control. There really wasn't much new in what he said. In fact, he relied heavily on that all too familiar plea: If gun control saves just one life, its worth it.
Is this the same man who wouldn't give so much as palliative care for a baby who survived a late term abortion? Is this the same father who said he didn't want his daughters "punished" with an unwanted baby?
Of course no legislation or executive order can prevent gun violence or violence of any kind. But the President loves to tug at the heartstrings when trying to push his agenda, especially when that agenda usurps our Constitutional rights. So he enshrouded himself with a group of young children to crank up the emotional response.
If only he would have the same concern for the million plus children aborted during his first term.
Obama, are you for or against Partial Birth Abortion? Yes
Walter Williams: Americans misunderstand point of the Second Amendment
Only Disney's Obama swears to uphold Constitution daily
On President Obama's first Inauguration, he put his hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. During his first term, however, he did everything but.
Yesterday he swore in for his second term, using 2 Bibles. But before he even reached that date, his actions already negated many of our Constitutional rights with the sweep of his Imperial, Executive pen.
He circumvented the Constitution and our Congress with his Executive Order on immigration. His EPA sends out its decrees that usurp our liberties and property rights. His 23 Executive Orders relating to gun control infringe on the 2nd Amendment.
In recent days, some Democrats allude to the 14th Amendment as justification for a president raising the debt ceiling without Congress! (The 14th Amendment dealt with Reconstruction: Citizenship, Civil Rights, and paying Civil War debt. It was not meant to authorize a carte blanche credit line.)
The President is acting more and more like an Imperial President, not a co-equal branch of the government.
Alas, only the animatronic Disney version of our president swears to uphold our Constitution multiple times a day. The real President Obama thwarts our Constitution every chance he gets.
Mark Levin: If Obama sidesteps Congress on debt ceiling, 'no choice' but impeachment
Mark Levin refers to Obama as the Imperial President in his book Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America .
Can we please talk 'Debt Control'? It's For the Kids
Congress is poised to kick our debt ceiling crisis down the road to May, but instead of using this breathing room as an opportunity for getting our message out, we are still distracted by the topic of the day--gun control and now amnesty.
Debt Limit USA crafted this easy to understand 3 minute piece that explains what our government is doing--borrowing more money than it takes in. They call it Debt Limit - A Guide to American Federal Debt Made Easy, or as I call it, The Debt Crisis in Terms Even a Low Information Voter Can Understand!
It doesn't get much easier than this; watch the whole thing. The ending is applicable to our unsustainable debt problem.
In case you didn't catch the last slides from the clip, the dad's annual household budget had $140,000 household debt, income of $21,700, $38,200 in spending, $16,500 in new bank to loan (debt), budget cuts $385--about 1% of their total household budget. Sound familiar?
Our Federal Budget Deal to Raise Debt Limit was: $14 Trillion total debt (obliviously, this was from the last 2011 debt crisis because we are well over $16T now!), $2.17 T federal income, $3.82 T in Fed. spending, $1.65 T in new debt, and the amount "cut" (from future spending)? A measly $38.5 Billion, about 1% of the total budget.
No matter, our children, grand children and great, great grandchildren will be picking up this tab.
Unlike other It's for the kids pleas, this one IS for the kids! Us too.

Runway Reviews: Jason Wu, Peter Som
Giorgio Niro View Gallery
After winning his CFDA this year, hugging Michelle Obama, and closely collaborating with the likes of Diane Kruger for brilliant red carpet moments, it's very hard to classify Jason Wu as a fledging or emerging designer. His latest effort was all business, all hits, and edited to a very clever T. "I really think that this is the most confidently sexy collection I've ever done," said the designer. "It's really evolving the sportswear element but adding our little touches: tulle on the jacket, silk lining, and delicate flower pins." And decisive confidence is usually a good thing. The highlights include an array of signature blouses, lasting jackets, beautifully cut chiffon dresses and a colorful finale parade inspired by the bright tones of Beatriz Milhazes photographs. Especially impressive were the Liu Wen standout petal number, Frida's noir column, and Karlie's hot pink number. "That's the dress that you immediately start to covet," raved Kruger moments after the show.
Oh joy! Peter Som's Spring 2011 show celebrated all things cheerful, sending onlookers into a dizzy state of euphoria as marble print shorts, floral brocade shifts and voluminous tulle skirts sailed down the runway. Short hemlines felt flirty, ultra-feminine and Miami-ready. Color undoubtedly took center stage, as there was nothing muted about this collection. Hues in Pepto pink, turquoise and lemon illuminated the runway. "For me, it was all about taking the seriousness out of fashion and bringing in some happiness," Som explained post-show. "I wanted the girl to be fun, cool and have a smile on her face."

Birdsong Tobago luxury accommodation
Birdsong, a hand crafted hardwood cedar lodge, offers a very high level of Tobago luxury accommodation and is configured almost exactly the same as Coasthanger except that it offers a second bedroom and en-suite shower room which are located below the main floor of the lodge. It is a beautiful Tobago luxury accommodation constructed in the style of a Japanese haiku house. Haiku means "how I feel" and was coined as a form of poetry to communicate awe and wonder at the abundance and harmony of nature. Constructed from sustainable sources of local hardwood cyprus, Birdsong has become the iconic look that symbolises Castara Retreats with our harmonious and naturally stylish look to our Tobago holiday accommodations.
This Tobago luxury holiday accommodation is an all wood lodge constructed of locally sources yellow cypress, and is perched about 20 feet above the ground, offering simply stunning views of both beaches and the headland looking up the coast, and of the rocky cliffs and bays looking down to the west. Sunsets are often spectacular. Birdsong sits gently on the land and relies on the natural forces of the wind to generate a cooling breeze through the wooden louvers of the windows that channels the air and vents the heat through the roof. On the main floor there is one large bedroom, with en-suite shower room, measuring 14 x 14 feet with a queen size double bed and quality mosquito net on a suspended wooden frame. There is a spacious living area spanning 20 x 14 feet with panoramic views of the two beaches looking north-west and also to the coastline looking south-west, and stunning sunsets over the Caribbean. There is comfortable and stylish seating and a dining space in the living area. The kitchen is open plan with the living area, and is equipped to the same high standard as the other accommodations except that both the fridge/freezer and the cooker are to a higher specification. There is also a cosy porch area measuring 14 x 8 feet with an additional comfortable sitting area for relaxing or eating. The total floor area on this upper main floor is a very spacious 800 square feet and offers a wonderful space for a guests looking for comfort and simplicity in nature for their vacation in Tobago.
A catwalk leads from the porch to a private viewing deck (12 x 12 feet) which offers an outside area from which to further enjoy the views across the garden and down onto the Bay of Castara and the ocean, and offers a wonderful space to sunbathe, or watch the stars at night.
Below the upper floor is a spacious second bedroom and en-suite shower room. This bedroom is even larger than the one above and measures 17 x 14 feet with double doors onto a deck area measuring 17x10 feet. Birdsong is a perfect Tobago accommodation for family holidays or two couples with the second bedroom which has a queen size bed with full size frame mosquito net. An extra bed can be added if required for a small charge. There are wonderful views from this bedroom and its private deck area. The general style of the interior is very similar to Rainforest with polished wooden floors, wicker furniture, and drop down windows that can be pulled up to create a very open outlook that optimizes the breeze by day.
There is hot and cold running water, quality mattresses, mosquito nets, white bed linen, freestanding ventilator fans and towels for use in the house, hairdryer, and hammock. We have just installed a good quality iPod docking system. You can also use your iPhones and MP3 players on the system provided you pick up a mini jack to stereo RCA cable (available at Dixons at airports). We are happy to provide this system but please be mindful of volume levels during the day and in the evening so you do not disturb your neighbours. There are security safes in both the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms.
There is also an abundance of soft lighting with dimmer switches to enable adjustments to meet your needs and moods. All the accommodations have views that one visitor described as "million dollar" and we are confident, after lots of positive feedback, that this is so. Each of our Tobago luxury accommodations has a slightly different perspective on the surrounding gardens, the village, the beach and the ocean. The second bedroom and shower room make it ideal for family holidays or a group of four friends.
In January 2014 we plan to open a self-contained and entirely private luxury room, The Annex, adjoining and to the rear of Birdsong. This offers our most modestly priced luxury accommodation and is priced and rented separately from Birdsong and is a new option for clients seeking to stay at Castara Retreats. It features a large en-suite bedroom/living area that is also air conditioned. It is completely soundproofed from Birdsong though for a larger group or family of six people who want to be located close together, we now have this additional option of renting both Birdsong and The Annex.
There is a small, nicely landscaped car parking area suitable for up to four cars between Coasthanger and Birdsong.

Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft.

The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!

Law Firm Surveillance Report Cited in Legal Challenge
|0 Comments
The weekend's disclosure that an allied foreign government monitored a U.S. law firm's communications with a client has already been cited in a legal challenge to the National Security Agency's surveillance practices.
The New York Times reported on Saturday that the Australian Signals Directorate, the NSA's counterpart, had informed the agency that it was monitoring communications between Indonesian government officials and their counsel at the law firm in question. The newspaper cited a top-secret document released by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Attorney Larry Klayman, who heads the conservative watchdog group Freedom Watch, argued in court papers filed Monday that the Times report supported his claims that his attorney-client communications had been subject to government surveillance.
That, he said, would appear to eliminate a barrier to his challenge to the NSA's procedures: whether Klayman and his fellow challengers could demonstrate "standing"—in other words, that they had been directly harmed.
"It is thus clear that standing exists," Klayman wrote in a motion to U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in Washington. Klayman is listed as a co-plaintiff in three lawsuits he has filed since June 2013 challenging U.S. government surveillance.
News reports since June 2013 about classified documents leaked by Snowden have been at the heart of Klayman's lawsuit and others challenging the constitutionality of U.S. surveillance programs.
Klayman filed his first complaint on June 6, 2013, one day after The Guardian newspaper in London published the initial news report detailing Snowden's disclosures about the scope of U.S. surveillance. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a similar complaint less than a week later in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Unlike previous legal challenges to these programs, the Snowden leaks bolstered claims by Klayman and the ACLU that they were subject to government monitoring and, as a result, enjoyed standing to sue.
In February 2013, several months before Snowden went public, the U.S. Supreme Court tossed a surveillance challenge for lack of standing. In a 5-4 decision, the court found in Clapper v. Amnesty International USA that the challengers could demonstrate "no actual knowledge" of the scope of government surveillance.
In Klayman's case, however, Leon has ruled that Snowden's disclosures put the plaintiffs in a more favorable position. In a Dec. 16 opinion regarding Klayman's constitutional claims, Leon concluded the plaintiffs could point to "strong evidence" that their phone records had been targeted, in large part based upon the leaked information.

The Court also hears appeals from the Industrial Commission. It sits in panels of at least three judges at locations designated by the Chief Judge, so as to provide convenient access to the various areas of the Commonwealth. The 10 Court of Appeals judges are elected in the same manner as Circuit Court judges and serve a term of eight years. The Chief Judge is elected by the 10 judges and serves a term of four years.
For more information visit the web site of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.

The Court has seven justices who are elected by joint vote of both houses of the General Assembly and are commissioned by the Governor to serve 12-year terms. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is the administrative head of the state judicial system.

Being a commercial industrial refrigeration mechanic for a day job. Sets are always hard to accommodate all users, it takes time to perfect a set. Sylvan has a point I too had a PRS come across my bench and was at a loss when I did not have the right tool. However these things will happen in all walks of life and trades. This is a very good set of truss rod wrenches and I am a firm believer in "You get what you pay for" The amount of money I have in refrigeration tools is staggering to a lot of the prices I've seen in StewMac. Keep up the great work stewmac and I will be watching your site for that elusive PRS wrench. :D
The set as purchased is very nice. However, it does not include a wrench for any American made PRS guitar. For a set billed as a complete truss rod set, the omission of one of the very popular guitars in our culture is inexcusable.
Thank you for pointing this out. We've noted your suggestion and hope to offer the proper wrench for PRS in the future.
I've not still used the wrenches ,but the only remark is that the dimensions of the tips of the keys are too thinly engraved, so I've written them with a felt-pen on the handle and it does! Without that, very good tools.
This kit provides the right tools for the job. The hex wrenches and pocket wrenches in particular are the right diameter and profile for tricky truss rod holes.
These are a pretty comprehensive - I didn't think that I would have a great deal of use for the whole set but I have only had them a month and already used five of them on customer's jobs. I must say that the 'pocket hex wrenches' (small chrome pipe like ones) are not that great. I was working on a deep recessed truss rod on a seven string Ibanez K7 and managed to get the tool into the pocket and on the nut but could not get it out - eventually the handle pulled free of the socket and I was a bit stranded. It would be useful if the handles on these were welded rather than a push fit into the hole. But overall really worth having.
We're sorry for the trouble you had with the pocket truss rod wrench. We're happy to send a duty-free replacement wrench. Just let us know. Thanks again for your orders.
I bought my first set of these wrenches 5 years ago for my home shop. I bought the second set for my guitar repair business. I have large hands and love the handles on these wrenches. They are a must for any professional guitar tech or Luthier. Stew-Mac is my first choice for tools, jigs, finishing supplies and just about anything else I need to do a great job on my customers' guitars.
I like the whole set. What we need, ball end Allen wrenches with long and twisted handles! These make adjusting necks a snap if you turn them too far!
I use them every time I set up a guitar. The quality of the construction is great! I believe the screwdriver-style handles provide a great grip, yet also limits you from over-tightening a truss-rod, like you could with a T-Handle.
I do wish it have a few more sizes to cover all the different guitars that come across my bench.
These work great for about 20% of the guitars we repair. I would just like to see a much bigger selection to accommodate name brands other than fender and gibson wich these seem to work for the most. - Matt Dreher
These are the way to go! I don't need to worry about stripping a truss rod bolt or marking the guitar. They fit well and do the job well.

Portrait of a New Zealand infantryman. He is standing beside a wooden building, apparently a hut in a training camp. The photograph is a copy by Berry & Co. of an original print by an unknown photographer, possibly in Britain or France.
The Berry Boys
During World War I, around 120 Kiwi soldiers had their photograph taken at Wellington's Berry & Co photography studio before they left New Zealand to fight in the war . These portraits are now in Te Papa's collection.
In the lead-up to the World War I centenary (2014-18), Te Papa is working to identify these soldiers and the loved ones they are pictured with. We want to make contact with their descendants, and to record their stories.
Some soldiers have already been identified. For others, we only have the surname etched on the glass negative.
Contact us
If you have any information you can share about the Berry Boys - either a soldier or someone they are photographed with - please use the online form above. You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a phone message for us on 04 381 7129. You can also write to Berry Boys Project Team, Te Papa, PO Box 467, Wellington 6140.
To aid identification, please be sure to include the Te Papa registration number (B.044366, for example) for the photo in question.

I remember when I discovered that there was more to tea than hot or iced. I was given a loose tea sampler (M.T.W.) and a stainless steel tea ball as a Christmas gift many years ago, by whom I cannot remember. That was the start of what will be a life-long love of fine tea. I discovered Steepster from a blog entry on the Mark. T. Wendell website…and have, from Steepster, discovered even more fine teas and vendors. Bravo!

What does your degree mean to you?
09/09/2011 § 20 Comments
As a library school student or a recent graduate, it is all of our hopes that we're not getting this degree in vain. The job market however, cannot support all of us and we have to wonder how to keep the balance. Many people point to the library school programs and say that is where the change needs to happen. A couple months ago, Will Manley wrote a post about the growing divide between libraries and library schools and he asked his readers some very good questions, the main ones being "what value does the MLIS have? Is it just a union card?" Through reading the comments, it started to sound like some people just see the graduate degree is nothing more than a stepping stone to their dream library job. In some ways, I can see how this is true, most librarian positions do require that you have an MLS/MLIS. However, the bigger problem is not the "union card" idea, it's the current state of LIS education. This is an issue very dear to us at HackLibSchool. No library school program is perfect, but that is why this blog exists, to try and change what we don't like, to add to our curriculum.
It's hard to ignore this idea of the MLIS as just a union card for the job. Generally, we all have identified a few problems that seem to have de-valued this degree, and none of these should come as surprise. First issue being, lax acceptance rules; after all, higher education is also a business (read more about the numbers on Lauren's blog). The second point of contention is that library school is seen as too easy, but I personally believe there are plenty of things students can do if they feel this way. In the end, what we all see is a flooded market of graduates to fill the few jobs out there. These are hard times for everyone and libraries have been especially hit hard, but this is also a good time for things to change for the better. It's good that we identify problems in our field and especially in our education system. We should ask whose responsibility is it to address these issues? Should the American Library Association step in? It's hard to say, but by identifying what we think isn't working, we can start the process of changing what we don't like.
Let's take a step back for just a moment though. Library Research Service did a survey last May asking librarians, staff and students about the value of the MLIS to them. The results showed that 76% of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that their degree was worth the investment. This should really tell us that a good number of librarians out there see much value in their degree, that it can be more than just a "union card". There are many ways that we all can add value to our own education and what we walk away with in our job search. Joe Hardenbrook, who writes on Mr. Library Dude really summed it up well when he said "Library school is what you make of it." It doesn't matter really where you go to school, what really matters is how you use your time in school. That's where the value is. I have gotten so much from my degree so far, not only from the courses but from the extra curricular activities that I've become involved in.
The MLIS can be more than just a union card, but it's going to depend on the student to take it to the next level. If you are passionate about this field, then the activities that you take on while in school will eventually translate into things that can go on your resume. Even still, there are many questions and conversations that we as professionals should be consistently having. We need to be asking ourselves about the future of librarianship. We need to wonder if LIS education is headed in the right direction, or if it's truly preparing students for what libraries will need.
What changes do you want to see in library school education? Do you think think that your degree is valuable? How do we become the change that we want to see?

I don't see an MLIS as a union card so much as the only way to get any kind of raise. Cost of living raises in public libraries are relics from the era when AOL seemed bleeding edge.
In nearly all of my classes more than half the students were already working in libraries, most of us full time. We were spending money we couldn't afford for classes about things we already did every day, but it was the only conceivable way to advance within the profession.
I think Sam makes a good point. I always felt guilty when people said "your degree is what you make it" as I often feel unsatisfied with my degree/quality of program. But since I have been working in libraries (full time for the past year and part time for the six years before that), I didn't need library school to teach me the basics, I needed it to teach me the more advanced stuff that maybe I couldn't learn on my own. Thus I was often frustrated by class time and assignments that dwelled on content I knew well but I had to take because they were core classes.
I also tend to forget that the reason I didn't have time for resume boosting extra-curriculars was because I was working full time. In a library. And since I had a ton of librarians tell me that job experience matters more than your degree, so I started to value my degree a lot less. Obviously everyone's situation for is different, but I don't think that your MLIS has to be the Best Experience Ever for you to be a good librarian.
Sorry, but I thought that LRS survey was really dubious. They pretty much asked people working in libraries if they thought their library degree was worth it…and (not surprisingly) they mostly said "yes". How would the numbers look if they asked all MLIS holders…especially all those who are out-of-work or left the profession?
Just look at the difference the numbers show between younger and older professionals and I think you can see there's a serious problem….
It seems to be a common refrain that the best way to get a job is through working experience, and that the most valuable skills you take out of library school come from enrichment experiences outside the classroom. To me, this doesn't validate the usefulness of a degree program, but rather underscore how irrelevant the coursework itself is. Why do I need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to do internships or take workshops or even participate in professional organizations? If the value of my degree comes primarily from the work I do apart from my degree program, what good is the program itself serving me, besides being an artificial hurdle to assure potential employers how serious I am? You get out what you get in, sure, but if I need to put significant amounts of time into my degree outside of my classes and homework, that tells me that those classes and homework aren't teaching me very much about what I need to know to actually get a job.
[...] Pho posted a blog on Hack Library School earlier today asking MLIS students and recent grads what the value of their degree is to them. [...]
I feel like my course is basically a money racket, you do the MLIS because that's what you have to do in order to get a job, and they make you do some busy work essays and projects (which you have the pleasure of paying to do), when you could have used your time more usefully doing actual real projects or writing that people other than your tutor might read if you didn't have to spend the time getting a piece of paper.
To say the MLIS is what you make of it is kind of cop out in my opinion, I don't feel like the course really provides me with opportunities I couldn't have got elsewhere with a bit of research. Sure I can choose to work on my interests and develop skills in areas that aren't taught, but I could do that anyway.
Also, (and I guess this is the main problem) it just seems like the content of the course is so removed from what might actually be useful- for instance, the one vaguely tech course is like how to do a little bit of html, other than that, nothing. It's just about writing essays (which believe me I've had far too much practice in) rather than about learning any useful skills, particularly ones to do with scripting/ programming which will be useful in the future.
I will preface this by saying that I have another Masters and had started a PhD program before starting my MLS program. It felt like going back to being an undergrad. I went from writing 30 page term papers to 5 page double-spaced piles of fluff.
I now work in an academic library. Having that other MA has opened a lot of doors for me in terms of getting respect as an equal from faculty members. It means to them that I've actually done serious research and understand what they are trying to do – which is not something they expect from someone that only has a BA & a MLS. Unfortunately, my experience of library school was such that I can't really argue with their assumptions about the value of just an MLS.
Those critiques aside, I do think the MLS was worth it. I learned a lot about tricks that I didn't know as a researcher (which I now totally sell as a reason students should come see me for research help). I learned a lot about how e-resources work. But I do think it needs to be a lot more rigorous, at least for those of us hoping to work in academic libraries.

William Hazlitt (10 April 1778 - 18 September 1830) was an English writer remembered for his humanistic essays and literary criticism, often esteemed the greatest English literary critic after Samuel Johnson. Indeed, Hazlitt's writings and remarks on Shakespeare's plays and characters are rivaled only by those of Johnson in their depth, insight, originality, and imagination.
