Thanksgiving can be one of the most stressful meals of the year for the person charged with selecting wine. In fact, when faced with the daunting task of trying to pair wines with the myriad flavors and textures on the Thanksgiving table, it can be downright terrifying.
Fear not, for a few simple guidelines will turn this holiday horror into a delightful experience.
• No. 1: Depending on the number of people around your Thanksgiving table, offer a wide variety of wines. Caterers figure a half-bottle of wine per guest on average. That sounds a bit high to us, but we still like to open a lot of wines for our guests. Any half-empty bottles can be enjoyed the next day with leftovers.
• No. 2: Lean toward high-acid wines. The Thanksgiving table has lots going on, so the wines need to be versatile. Think about such wines as Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc for whites and Pinot Noir and Sangiovese for reds. And don't forget about a dry rosé.
• No. 3: The greatest food-pairing wine also is one associated with celebrations. Starting your meal with a bottle or two of sparkling wine will set the tone and will go beautifully with just about everything on the table.
• No. 4: Don't bother with older wines. Have you been saving a special bottle of wine for just the right occasion? Well, Thanksgiving isn't it. First, nobody will pay attention to it because they'll be so busy eating and talking. Second, aged wines tend to fall apart easily and generally will not show well with the wide array of foods on the table. Instead, save that bottle for a meal where it will be the center of attention and the food choices will be built around it.
• No. 5: Leave the big reds in the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petite Sirah. They're all big, beautiful wines, but they just don't work for Thanksgiving. Generally speaking, their tannins will overwhelm the food and neither will end up tasting good. There are rare occasions when this rule can be broken, however. For example, if your father-in-law is coming to town and you feel the need to impress him, go ahead and pull out that bottle of Leonetti. He did let you marry his daughter, after all.
• No. 6: Gewurztraminer and turkey are a perfect match. People seem to think that Gewrztraminer goes well with spicy foods just because the word "Gerwurz" is German for "spice." But this refers to the aromas of clove, cinnamon, cardamom and other exotic spices that reveal themselves in the nose. To the contrary, Gewurztraminer is a high-pH wine, which means it's naturally a bit flabby in the acid department. In other words, it is one of the worst wines you can pair with, say, a spicy Thai dish or a steaming bowl of pho. That said, Gewurztraminer shines with turkey, especially dark meat. Thus, the best place for a bottle of Gewurztraminer is on your Thanksgiving table.
• No. 7: Surprise and delight your guests with a fruit wine. Wine snobs might scoff at this, but we love serving a cranberry wine with Thanksgiving dinner. It can be dry or off-dry, and the explosive flavors of a well-made cranberry wine are perfect with many of the dishes on the table. Washington wineries such as Westport in Aberdeen or Heymann in Centralia make amazing cranberry wines. You will not be disappointed.
• No. 8: Dessert wines are fun. We like to serve ultra-sweet dessert wines such as ice wines from British Columbia. They do tend to take center stage because they are so exotic and special. So if you don't want to overshadow your aunt's famous apple or pumpkin pie, perhaps save the wine for a post-dessert conversation piece.

Adaptations of fairy tales are everywhere you look. The TV show Once Upon a Time and the police procedural Grimm are in their second seasons. Hansel and his sister Gretel are at the cineplex hunting witches with machine guns. Jack, of beanstalk fame, starts slaying giants today. And those aren't the only bedtime stories that have been redesigned to keep 20-somethings up at night.
On Sequester Day in Washington, lots of Twitter users invoked a favorite movie line to express their views on the automatic spending cuts. Some criticized the federal government; others just poked fun.
The #sequestermovielines hashtag reached trending status Friday with tweets citing Forrest Gump, action flicks and even the Disney movie The Lion King. We compiled a few of our favorites here:

Stoker has a ripely decadent, creepy-crawly feel that would have gotten under my skin if the tone weren't so arch and the people so ghoulishly remote. It's like a bad Strindberg play with added splatter. But director Park Chan-wook certainly works to make you uncomfortable. Take the early shot in which the teenage girl protagonist, India Stoker, played by Mia Wasikowska, sits in a meadow and muses in voiceover on the subject of free will versus destiny. She says, "Just as a flower doesn't choose its color, so we don't choose what we are going to be" — while draining a blister.
He can't do "a Jedi mind meld" with Republicans and get them to see his way about taxes and spending, President Obama said Friday.

"Pres Obama Mixed Metaphor of the Day: The 'mind meld' is not a Jedi tool from Star Wars, but a Vulcan ability from Star Trek."

Post subject: Battery connections
Bit of a beginner question,
I've just taken ownership of my first classic car, a 1956 standard 10.
first thing that I notice is that the battery connector that is strapped to the chassis has a P on it...
so here's what I'm wondering, are standard tens positive earth, or was someone lazy replacing a battery terminal at some point in this cars life and just used the closest one to hand?

Welcome to the forum.
You will probably find the car is possitive earth as a lot of cars from this era were. Battery possitive and negative terminals are different sizes and therefore not interchangeable. To double check you could put a meter onto the battery as DC voltage is polar sensitive

Welcome Daniel! Would love to see some pictures of the Standard sometime
Incidentally one of my 1959 Austin A35's is positive earth as well, I think all small British cars from the 1950's were. The other one has been converted to negative earth to fit a modern radio and electric temperature guage.
I've always liked the Standards - I think small 1950's cars are very appealing!

Until mid 1960's British cars came with positive earth system and by early 1970's when alternators became standardised all were on the continental negative earth system again as this was dropped in the UK in the early 1930's by Lucas to assist starting/ignition at the alleged expense of more corrosion which was not a real problem on wood framed bodies then. Never bben proved anyway whether it does make corrsion worse as Rover P5 3 Litres became negative earth in 1965 and rusted just as fast as the positibev earth ones before them
Rover changed over in 1936 to the positive earth system as like virtually every British car maker/assembler including Ford they bought in Lucas electrics.

Welcome to the forum, Daniel.
I had a 1957 Standard 10 way back in about 1961. I loved the little car. The fact that I courted the girl who is now my wife in it, probably helps! It was economical, extremely reliable and great fun. I would love to see some photos of yours.
As Phil and 640TMP have already said, most British cars of those years were positive earth, so I would be pretty certain that the Standard is the same.

there are pictures of the car here:
they are some working pictures that I'm taking as I'm keeping a bit of a blog of the restoration.
thanks for the advice in this thread, I hadn't really worried about the engine as the guy who i bought this from, (on ebay) had said that it worked, and I just believed him...
then for some reason or another I started to panic a bit about spending my time and money restoring a car that I just kind of believed worked, but had never actually seen working myself.

Hey Daniel,
That's a very nice little car. If it were mine I would very definitely spend some time and money on it, and then enjoy it. They really are a lovely little car. They'll never frighten an Aston Martin, but then they won't cost anywhere near as much to restore and run either!
I drove all over Britain in mine in the early sixties and I don't think it ever let me down.

Interesting to see the photos, I've had three Standards 8/10s in all, although only one on the road (a Standrive-equipped version). All three had really sweet running engines in them.
The engine parts are fairly easy to find (see 948 Herald), the only slightly trickier parts to locate relate to the front suspension if I remember right. The owner's club ran quite a good spares scheme, so it might be worth joining the SMC. They do a good monthly mag too.

Even though I started the engine, it's still a long long way off being on the road.
At the moment I'm still in the process of stripping it down.
The floor pan seems to have more holes in it than anything I've seen before, once the carpets were removed and I'd gone along poking the floor to find out where the sections were rotted through.
what I've already found about this car and restoring it is that I'll be spending so much time doing it! and my collection of tools will grow massively.
There was a thread on here that I found about some guys in Thailand restoring a beetle making up new body sections using hammers and cold chisels, so I've started making new sections of floor pan in roughly the same method.
(though when I started I had some sheet metal left from when I'd done something else and I was hammering the metal with a claw hammer and screw driver, since then I have at least gone and bought a few chisels and a couple more hammers to actually have the right tools for the job).
(I know it'd be easier to take it to a body shop or coachworks to have new panels made, but if I can do it myself and figure out/learn a skill along the way then i think that I'd rather do it that way!).

The end result was a sweep for the Grangers, who beat Fernandina Beach (Fla.) 2-0 in the first game before outlasting homestanding Opelika 8-5 in the finale.
The Grangers evened their record at 5-5 heading into today's rescheduled game at Brookstone in Columbus.
LaGrange then opens its Region 5-AAAA schedule on Friday against Shaw.
In Saturday's first game, the story was Moody, the senior ace who pitched an eight-inning shutout.
Neither team scored through seven innings, so it was on to extra innings.
In the top of the eighth, the Grangers finally broke through for two runs.
Moody got things started with a bunt single, and Bryce Todd then came through with an RBI hit to bring in courtesy runner Rob Hunnicutt.
Jack Bradford capped the rally with an RBI single.
Moody then finished things off in the bottom of the eighth to record the shutout.
Moody gave up just three hits and struck out 12.
"He had some of the best stuff since he's been here," LaGrange head coach Todd Herrington said. "He deserved (the win). He was the better pitcher in that game."
Against Opelika, Stargell got the start, and he produced in a big way.
The junior put the ball over the center fielder's head for a double in his first at-bat, and he later added a two-run home run.
"He made the most of his opportunity," Herrington said. "I was proud of him."
Jake Norton got the start and pitched five innings, and Tristain Daugherty finished things off with some nifty relief work.
Herrington was pleased with the way his team swung the bat on Saturday.
Even in the first game, Herrington said there were a lot of hard-hit balls that went right at people.
"It was good to see us hit the ball a little bit," Herrington said. "We know what these guys can do."
Price Peters was 2-for-3 with an RBI, and Norton reached base three times and scored three runs and drove in a run.
John Sweat was 3-for-4 with an RBI.

What the hell. Since when did this became: "GA-EP35-DS3L - Vanilla Speedstepping, To get sleep working with Vanilla speedstepping"? The idea was to help people fix their DSDT, yes, but nothing about speedstep because we already have a good going thread for this. This way I keep losing track of everything.

In honor of National Bike month, the League of American Bicyclists has released its latest Bicycle Friendly States Ranking. In the fifth annual assessment, Oklahoma achieved a 35th place ranking nationally.
Four years ago Oklahoma was ranked 48th in bicycle friendliness. Oklahoma's bicyclists, along with state agencies and other groups set the goal of improving Oklahoma's ranking. "In 2011 we ranked 43th," said Oklahoma Bike Summit Chairman Kevin Mussett, Stillwater. "Jumping 8 places to 35th in one year is the result of a lot of hard work by bicyclists, Oklahoma Department of Transportation, and the Legislature, all working together," Mussett said.
The new Bicycling and Walking in the United States: 2012 Benchmarking Report is available for free download from the Alliance for Biking & Walking at:
This 242-page report is full of data on biking and walking in the 50 states and 51 largest U.S. cities and is very interesting, educational, and a valuable tool for advocacy.
OBC is partnering with the town of Jones, in eastern Oklahoma county to put on the First-Ever Hogback Attack Bike Ride in October, 2012. Jones Mayor, Ray Poland, offered to act as liaison between OBC and surrounding jurisdictions and the Jones Board of Trustees passed, by unanimous vote, a resolution to support the event in any way they could.
If you missed the first ever Oklahoma Bike Summit presented by the Oklahoma Bicycling Coalition (OBC) Friday and Saturday, November 4th and 5th at the Chesapeake Boathouse in Oklahoma City, you missed Oklahoma cycling history in the making!
Please join me in welcoming Fred Holland to the OBC Board of Directors. Fred will be serving as an Interim Board Member, filling the vacancy left by the resignation of Kevin Mussett.
Fred lives in Oklahoma City, has been an avid cyclist for more than 25 years, and has a passion for mentoring new riders.
OBC is growing – We have a lot to do – And we appreciate Fred's volunteering to serve.

Molly Dobbs to be killed off
Not just that, but the paper also says that Sally Webster will be left looking after Molly and Kev's baby as the couple take in the child after Molly's death. By 'eck, up the barmcake, etc.

"up the barmcake"??? I know what a barmcake is (I'm from Manchester) but why would it be used in this sense?

That's funny "Anonymous" :)).
I'm not sorry Molly's going; I never liked that Molly-Kevin story line, just didn't ring true to me.
Where'll Tyrone be during all this baby-minding by the Websters? - 29 June 2010 22:06
I think Molly and Tyrone (who should also go now) should move away with the baby. How is Sally going to cope with a young baby, workign at the factory and recovering from cancer? Will Tyrone still work at the garage and have his nose rubbed in what he thought all along was his child? If this is true its daft IMO
- 30 June 2010 06:22
- Tvor said...
Yes if Tyrone is still living on the street it doesn't make sense that Sally and Kevin would take the baby unless Tyrone has found out that it's definitely Kevin's. If it isn't, then Tyrone would or should probably move away.
- 30 June 2010 10:54
- gab said...
i agree doesnt make sense for them to have the baby while tyrone looks on-hw would never cope with that
- 30 June 2010 13:44
oh who knows what story they're cooking up for the principals of the love triangle...maybe Tyrone is overwrought with sorrow and unable to care for an infant and Sally steps in?
Would she do that if the baby was known to be Kevin's?
More characters to leave the street?
Some of us already wonder if David and Tina could be leaving.
It's fun to speculate but, in the end, that's why we keep watching, I suppose. - 30 June 2010 21:40

The New York Post reports the State Public Health and Health Planning Council is unveiling a five-year "Health Improvement Plan" today.
It involves a series of recommendations that include a tax increase on alcohol sales and cutting back on the number of permits for bars and liquor stores.
It also calls for more drunk driving checkpoints and increased surveillance operations to prevent adults from buying alcohol for minors.
The panel only makes recommendations. The governor and state Legislature would have to carry out any specific plans.

Granville Island Market, Vancouver (Canadian Tourism Commission photo)
Farms and markets have been a part of rural British Columbia life for more than 100 years.
Whether it's the Fraser Valley, Thompson Okanagan region, or Vancouver Island, many farms welcome visitors for tours and demonstrations. Purchase fresh fruit and produce, just-collected free-range eggs, delicious cheese and milk, and much more.
Touring some of BC's best farms can provide a rather tasty education. It's a chance to learn about organic farming and other sustainable farming practices – and taste a few samples! The Vancouver, Coast & Mountains region has self-guided Circle Farm Tours to follow.
British Columbia also hosts farmers markets in many communities. Most farmers markets take place on weekends from spring through fall, but some places also have winter markets. Markets enable shoppers to meet the farmers and artisans who grew, raised, caught or produced the food for sale. Enjoy this tempting opportunity to taste a bounty of farm-fresh local foods and to browse and buy locally made arts and crafts.
Read More
Farmers markets and roadside fruit stands and vegetable stands provide an excellent chance to chat with the farmers and buy fresh produce and unique crafts. Summer is the prime time for farmers markets, since items are in season. Contact community visitor centres for information on local markets and fruit stands.
Vancouver Island: Many Vancouver Island organic farms welcome visitors for fascinating tours and impressive tastings; the Cowichan Valley and Saanich Peninsula are key farming areas.
Numerous communities host weekend markets with locally grown and seasonal foods. Check out the Salt Spring Island Saturday Market and the "goats on the roof" market in Coombs. Popular farmers markets in Victoria include the Moss Street Market, the Peninsula Country Market, and the Metchosin Farmers Market.
Vancouver, Coast & Mountains: The pastoral Fraser Valley has well-organized Circle Farm routes – self-guided driving tours with information about farms, markets, and eateries that welcome visitors. More than 20 markets reap the fresh rewards of the Fraser Valley. In Vancouver, check out the Granville Island Public Market and the UBC Farm.
Thompson Okanagan: The best way to experience the Okanagan Valley is to taste freshly picked, luscious fruits such as cherries, peaches, apricots and apples. Roadside fruit stands are very popular. Several towns host markets and roadside fruit stands that focus on the Okanagan Valley's peaches, cherries, and other bounty.

During a Rotary members' vocational meeting, three local business people shared their strategies for their continued success in today's economy.
The overall message was that a successful business needs to be attuned to their customers.
Dr. George Henry introduced Wednesday's Rotary program by giving a brief history and stating the purpose of vocational talks. He said that the talks provide opportunities for the club members to hear about the different businesses and professions that their peers belong to. The talks are also a way in which members get to know each other better. Henry then further defined the day's program.
"And a third purpose is to focus today's program on the theme of local small businesses meeting the challenges of a major recession in our nation, state and region," Henry said.
Henry then introduced the first of the three speakers, Mike Stevenson, the manager of Adecco Employment Service.
Stevenson introduced himself, explained that his company was the largest temporary employment agency in the country and then went on to relate the starting and running of a small business to that of a roller coaster ride.
"You have the small ups and downs but while running your own business there is no safety bar," Stevenson said. He went on to describe today's job market as being unfriendly and that, "If you have an opportunity to give advice to someone who is looking for a job, get them to use the Internet."
Stevenson's company specializes in providing temporary help in industry and administrative work.
April Gantner, manager of Stephens Exclusives, emphasized that creativity was the key in helping to keep their business thriving in today's economy. Gantner gave one example of how store coupons were hidden in plastic eggs throughout the store and customers engaged in an Easter egg hunt, the event was a huge hit and generated a lot of excitement. She then told of their next big event at the store.
"We also came up with the idea of putting on a Wish List Party which everyone has a fit over! It's probably our largest event of the year and it is coming up in a few weeks, actually Nov. 8th. Martha and Tom Prikle make their famous eggnog and everyone gets to see Christmas decorations out in the store and make wish lists, it's a ton of fun," Gantner said.
Gantner said that she also puts extensive research into the products that are finally selected for the store and that listening to what their customers want to see in the store is always very helpful.
Amy Warren, from An Affair to Remember, also stressed the importance of listening to what the customer wants and using her front windows to her full advantage.
Warren opened her business when she had noticed that LaGrange did not have a bridal shop. She has since moved from her original location and is now located on the Square at 119 Ridley Ave.. Warren also shared that by keeping her shop window current and creative she's able to catch the attention of both men and women.
Times may be difficult for businesses and consumers alike, but these three presenters gave great examples of the quality of merchandise and service that local LaGrange businesses have to offer. Now more than ever it makes sense to shop locally and support LaGrange businesses.

G50 transmitter cable wiring: Line 6 dual-ground OR Shure style single-ground?
Like (0)
So I was putting a right-angle cable on my TBP12 transmitter cable for my g50 wireless system, and I saw that it had two cables grounded on the sleeve of the old straight 1/4" (the ground wire and a blue wire).
After looking online here, I found Line 6 saying to ONLY solder one ground, and that the second ground lowers the impedance too much. Shure does it with single grounds too.
Why did the cables ship from the factory with this lower ground, and how is the sound altered by this? Which is preferable in the g50 and why?
(And should I clip the second ground?)
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
"After looking online here, I found Line 6 saying to ONLY solder one ground, and that the second ground lowers the impedance too much"
You are mis-reading it. Connecting pin 4 to pin 3 lowers the input impedance. Connecting pin 4 to the shield (pin 1) only provides an additional mechanical connection to ground. It does not change the sound. It could slightly affect the noise of the cable (depending on cable quality) having a ground connection that is not the shield.
ahhhh. silly me.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Well, looks like us Paladins are on a roll now. After being rudely awakened this morning by a not so happy 4 month old, I decided after calming him down that I'd take a quick look at MMO-Champion to see if there were any updates on the paladin changes announced during the Twitter chat. As some may also know, the Beta had a patch yesterday, where several of the new things were to be implemented.
And implemented they were.
Here's what I found while perusing the site (I'll stick with Holy for now):
- Healing Hands now has a 1 min cooldown
- Divine Plea is now trained at level 58. Down from 68.
- Light's Beacon (!) now affects each heal you cast on the target instead of just Holy Light and Holy Shock. Now heals the beacon for 50%. (Down from 100%)
- Holy Wrath no longer scales from attack power and deals 2400 Holy damage divided among all targets within 10 yards.
- Holy Shock now grants a charge of Holy Power.
- Seal of Wisdom is gone.
- Seal of the Pure (!) now seems to have a chance to restore the Paladin's mana.
- Holy Light is now trained at level 14. Up from 5.
- Divine Light – A large heal that heals a friendly target for 7761.99 to 8648.14. Good for periods of heavy damage. // 30% base mana, 40 yd range, 2.5 sec cast
- Divine Favor now increases your chance to critically hit with your next Word of Glory, Holy Shock, Flash of Light, Holy Light, or Divine Light by 100% / Instant, 1 min cooldown
- Denounce (!)- You have a 50/100% chance when any of your Holy spells get a critical effect to make your next Exorcism spell instant and cost no mana.
- Sacred Cleansing is now Tier 4 Talent. Down from Tier 5.
- Infusion of Light is now a Tier 3 Talent. Down from Tier 4. It now only affects Holy Light. (No longer affects Divine Light)
- Blessed Life is now a Tier 6 Talent. Up form Tier 4.
- Enlightened Judgements is now a Tier 3 Talent. Down from Tier 4.
- Healing Light now affects Words of Glory.
- Tower of Radiance (NYI) *New* (!) - Directly healing the target of your Beacon of Light has a % chance to generate Holy Power.

First off, this is my first post, hello all!
I have found myself in a bit of a dilemma.
I cannot decide whether I want a Lamy 2000, or a Pilot Vanishing Point.
Unfortunately after reading both Awesome Reviews, the pens are too closely matched to make a decision without more influence.
A little background information about me:
I am 23 years old, currently in my third to last semester at college. I have a packed schedule and I use my pens for a lot of note taking. I do a decent amount of doodling and some drawing as well. Primarily they get used for note taking. I have what I consider an okay collection now, especially for getting into fountain pens just over a year ago.
It consists of:
4 Lamy Safaris (Aquamarine, Green Apple, Charcoal, and Red) I have at least one of every Lamy nib from EF to 1.5mm
Lamy Al Star (Coffee Brown)
Lamy Accent (Matte Black & Palladium)
2 1950's Eversharp Symphonys - both with Fine flex nibs (Black and Burgundy)
Kaweco Sport - Fine nib (Burgundy)
TWSBI 540 - Fine Nib
Mont Blanc 149 in what I believe is a Fine nib (inherited)
Mont Blanc Noblesse - Fine nib (inherited)
1980's Sheaffer Targa (inherited)
Parker Sonnet Ciselle - Extra Fine nib (inherited)
Franklin-Christoph Collegia in Dove grey, Medium and Fine nibs (Thanks FPGeeks contest!!!)
Noodler's Ahab
A few preppies thrown around that I don't really use
I really like everything I have now, the only thing that makes me lean towards the vanishing point is there there isn't anything like it in my collection.
Here's what I want:
I know I want my new pen to be a fine nib. As far as piston vs. C/C, I am not overly biased towards either. I have no experience with Pilot's lineup, but I am definitely open to try one out. I really love all of my Lamys, especially the fine nibs. The only real question is: Do I get another Lamy that I'm almost positive I'll be happy with, or do I step outside the box and try something new that a large part of the fountain pen community loves?
I would love to hear opinions from everyone, especially those who own both pens, or at least one of them.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for helping out!

This is the only lamp with a light beam that widens or narrows to provide daylight-simulating illumination for hobbies or ambient lighting.
Its light beam adjusts to 711 different diameters between 3-1/2" and 19". At maximum zoom, the 3-1/2"-diameter beam produces more than 10,000 LUX (2-1/2X brighter than a typical lamp) that's ideal for illuminating fine details of crafts, and the 19" beam provides optimal light for reading or ambient illumination. Light is produced by one 50,000-rated LED that generates clarity-enhancing, crisp white illumination that simulates natural daylight to help reduce eyestrain. An adjustable 12" gooseneck can be raised, lowered, or twisted for optimal light projection.
Nickel finish.

text_field(object_name, method, options = {})
Returns an input tag of the "text" type tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by method) on an object assigned to the template (identified by object). Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a hash with options.
Examples (call, result):
text_field("post", "title", "size" => 20) <input type="text" id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="20" value="#{@post.title}" />
Force initial value
If you want to force an initial value for your text_field which is normally based on your object attribute value, you can use :
text_field :ecard, :sender, :value => 'firstname.lastname@example.com'
Alternative force initial value
@Bounga - Thanks for the suggestion. Didn't know about that method. An alternative method I have used is just to assign the default value to the object in your controller. For example your "new" action might now look like:
def new @ecard = Ecard.new params[:ecard] @ecard.sender ||= 'firstname.lastname@example.com' end
Re: Force initial value
An alternative to @eric_programmer's would be to extract it entirely from the controller logic…
class Person def sender self[:sender] || 'email@example.com' end end
There are a ton of ways to do it, but making this a business logic decision will let you get the same logic from any possible implementation angle. Scripts, web service, etc.

Turkey, pie and politics? Thanksgiving Day family friction
Ah, Thanksgiving. A little turkey, some cranberry mold, maybe apple pie with ice cream, some football on TV. Getting together with the cousins. Catching up beside the fire. Togetherness.
On second thought: Scratch that. What were we thinking? This was an election year.
"The Thanksgiving table will be a battleground," says Andrew Marshall, 34, of Quincy, Mass.
Like many extended families across the country, Marshall's includes Democrats and Republicans, conservatives, liberals and independents. And so, like many families that count both red and blue voters in their ranks, they're expecting fireworks. Things had already gotten so bad on Facebook, the family had to ban political banter.
"It was getting brutal," says Marshall.
And now, it will all play out in person. In this family, the older generation is more liberal, the younger more conservative. So Andrew, a conservative, particularly expects friction with his aunt, Anne Brennan, 57. "She firmly believes in what she believes in, and we'll go head to head with it," he says.
As for Brennan, she's looking on the bright side: the wine they'll drink. "You always bring a good bottle," she told Andrew at a family dinner a few days ago — perhaps softening him up for the holiday. No dice. "What are you talking about?" Andrew replied. "The wine just amplifies it."
But the Marshalls seem to be relishing the occasion. Not so the Davidson family in Alabama.
In fact, things have gotten so tense over politics between Brian Davidson, a 40-year-old attorney in Helena, and his father, 130 miles away in Russellville, that they've changed plans, forgoing their usual gathering.
"We're not even going," says Brian, who voted for Barack Obama, and describes his father as "a little to the right of Glenn Beck." Better to skip this one, he says, than suffer "a non-recoverable blowup." Continued...
Davidson, a Boy Scout leader and the father of two school-age sons, once was firmly conservative, even serving as an officer in the Young Republicans Club at the University of North Alabama. His parents — particularly Dad — always taught him and his brother to think for themselves, he says.
And so he did. Davidson eventually realized he no longer fit in with the Republican Party, which he saw as moving rightward, and now considers himself a political moderate with liberal positions on issues like gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana — he supports both — and conservative positions on foreign and fiscal policies.
Each Thanksgiving, Davidson typically loads up his family and makes the 130-mile drive to his parents' house. This year, Davidson will take the kids to wife Kim's family instead, but even that could be tricky: They are conservative as well. So Brian and Kim will try to avoid any topics that could lead, they say, to "an Obama rant" around the table.
"Anything can cause it," Brian says. "We're just going to suck it up."
For some families, it's not necessarily the presidential race that divided them. The Cox family in Colorado has long been split over the legalization of marijuana — ever since Diane Cox first caught her son, David, trying to smoke the drug when he was 14.
David, now 31 and a peach farmer in Palisade, Colo., has volunteered for years on efforts to legalize marijuana. Diane, meanwhile, has spearheaded several successful protests to ban medical marijuana dispensaries in nearby towns — even waving "BAN THE POT SHOPS" signs on the side of the road.
Colorado's recent vote to legalize marijuana for recreational use again divided mother and son, who served as regional coordinator for the legalization campaign. Discussion of the vote is likely at the family Thanksgiving, but David Cox doesn't seem TOO worried. "I don't think awkward's the proper term. The proper term is more, dissentious," he says with a chuckle.
After all, Cox says, some things are more important than politics. "They can see that I'm a successful, hardworking person," he says of his parents, "so they have absolutely nothing to say because I'm doing fantastic and they know it."
In Minnesota, the issue dividing Jake Loesch's family isn't marijuana but gay marriage. Voters defeated a proposed amendment that would have banned same-sex marriage in the state, and Loesch, 24, of St. Paul, was deputy communications director for Minnesotans United for All Families — a group that fought the gay marriage ban. (It remains illegal under state law.)
Loesch is a conservative, like his huge family. He had difficult conversations with some aunts, uncles and grandparents when he took his recent job, and as the political season heated up, he tried increasingly to avoid the subject: "Having those conversations is healthy for the political process, but sometimes, when it's with family, it can be really, really hard." Continued...
But he found common ground with his grandmother, who is 85. She disagreed with his stance, but after the election, she posted on his Facebook wall: "Congratulations, Jake — even tho I didn't agree with your stance on the issue I will have to say you really put your heart and soul into your convictions — and I must say I'm proud of you!!!"
"Our family is very understanding of everybody's opinions," says Jake's grandmother, Bunny Arseneau. "We know where everybody stands because we're a very open family. Your opinion is your opinion and we respect you for it."
And so, Loesch says, he is hoping for the best at Thanksgiving — after all, they're still family. Adds his grandmother: "My father was of the old school. You never leave the house mad at each other, and you never go to sleep mad at each other."
As for the Marshalls in Massachusetts, there's hope that the political discourse, however charged, may at least carry some levity as well.
Last Friday night, some family members gathered at the home of Andrew's parents, in Hingham, Mass., for homemade pizza and wine — a dry run, maybe, for the bigger Thanksgiving dinner.
As a fire crackled in the fireplace, so did the political discourse.
"I did vote for Obama," noted Rebecca Malone, 27, Andrew's sister.
"Oh my God!" replied Andrew. "I didn't know that! You're out!"
But the family did find a few areas of agreement — for one thing, they all agreed on medicinal marijuana.
And though some voted for Democrat Elizabeth Warren for Senate, who won, and others didn't, they all agreed that outgoing Sen. Scott Brown was good-looking. Continued...
As the wine flowed, Andrew waxed philosophical.
"If we didn't care, we wouldn't sit here and battle," he said.
Added Anne, his liberal aunt: "And it's all so much more interesting than the Kardashians."

Military Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. We're academic libraries, supporting Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees. We're public libraries, complete with children's story hours and retiree's financial resources. We're also other types of special libraries: medical; history; science, technology & engineering; intelligence; and headquarters support. The Military Libraries Division brings together members from all U.S. military services, Canadian Combined Armed Forces, international military services, contractors, vendors, academic institutions and anyone with an interest in military librarianship. Check us out at http://military.sla.org/. – Gloria Miller is a Librarian at the Headquarters, U.S. Army Materiel Command, Redstone Arsenal (Huntsville), Alabama. She is currently the Chair-Elect of the Military Libraries Division.
by Tammy Garrison
Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Tumblr, Blogger, LiveJournal… Social Media is everywhere, and a lot of organizations are using it, with varying success to stay connected and interact directly with patrons. But in a world of reduced budgets, and more responsibilities being spread among fewer librarians, how can we make judicious choices regarding which services to participate in, and how to update them with the most efficiency and effectiveness?
For the Combined Arms Research Library (CARL) at Fort Leavenworth, and for many other institutions, both in the government and private sector, social media has filled that gap for us. During this last winter's extreme weather, we were able to send messages to our subscribing patrons that we were closing earlier than scheduled, or that we would not be open the following day. We can remind patrons of library events, and pass on useful or interesting links. We've also developed a system to ensure that we spend the least amount of time updating, but achieve maximum impact across our social media outlets of Twitter, Facebook and Blogger.
I took over the library's social media outreach in late 2009. An interest in the technology outside of the library made me a de facto "expert." This is probably how many librarians become in charge of various services, and our social media campaign was no different. In coming on to the project, I first evaluated our current efforts. The blog and Facebook were updated sporadically, and often with verbatim repeats of press releases. There were multiple reasons for this; updating was cumbersome for staff members who did not use Facebook or Blogger every day, and there was little time or energy in the day for putting together interesting or original content.
This is where having an interested person, dedicated to the task helped us: assigning social media to a single individual and making it a moderately high priority makes sure that it does not become just another task that it would be nice to have done, if someone could spare the concentration or time for it. As busy as most of us are, we most often can't spare the extra time or brainpower, unless we make it a priority, with scheduled days and times that social media can be updated. I consider the time spent replying to comments and generating new content as blocking out "meeting" time with our patrons.
I also looked at Army regulations and guidance regarding social media. In the last few years, the military has taken a great interest in the power of social media and have gone to great lengths to promote its responsible use. One of the many ideas behind this is that if we are not engaging in the conversation via social media, someone else is doing it for us.
Paying attention to the larger organization's social media guidance is extremely important. We want to always be sure that we are representing and portraying our organization correctly, and are never releasing information that our organization does not want to have passed on.
With all of this knowledge in hand, I discussed with members of my organization what we hoped to accomplish with social media. At first, our overall goals were amorphous and vague other than a general desire to update social media regularly, do more to promote our social media presence, and to gather enough information through this to reevaluate and redirect our social media efforts periodically. Setting goals, milestones and evaluation checkpoints is just as important for social media as it is for any major project to be sure it is effective and on-task, and not wasting time or energy on something that, for whatever reason, just isn't effective.
We also decided which social media was important to us. We cut Technorati and moved away from updating Flickr. Technorati had fallen out of use since the library had setup its account, and there were other, friendlier services. We let Flickr fall by the wayside because all of our efforts were going into uploading photos to our own digital library, and uploading them to another online service seemed like an additional time-consuming step with less return than the valuable investment of time warranted.
Our blog had already been set up on Blogger, and we saw this as important not only because of it had already been established, but because blogs afford the most flexibility with expression and the transmission of information. It can allow you to provide links, photos, videos, commentary, review, original articles and a variety of other formats with the least amount of effort. We wanted to keep our Facebook ―fan‖ page as well, in part due to being already established, but also because it took even less effort than Blogger to update. Facebook was also an outlet heavily favored by the Army.
The service we took the biggest gamble on was Twitter. While the service had been around for several years in 2009, it wasn't as ubiquitous as Facebook or as traditional (by New Media Standards) as a blog. Growing a Twitter following takes considerable time and effort, and can backfire, if you build it, but they do not come, to paraphrase Field of Dreams.
I started by searching for other Fort Leavenworth organizations that had Twitter accounts, such as the newspaper, the Command and General Staff College, and even Morale and Welfare. I also followed other Army Twitter accounts, including the @USArmy account, and other libraries and archives. By following them, I was able to keep up with things happening on the Fort, in the Army and in librarianship. I was also able to engage in conversations with these institutions, and forward, or "retweet" their posts (called Tweets) to Fort Leavenworth's following.
Some of these institutions followed us back, or announced our existence to their followers, which helped get the word out about our presence. Whenever I posted to the blog, I also posted to Twitter and Facebook to tell followers that we had a new blog entry up, complete with a link directly to the article.
We promoted heavily inside the library with cards containing our Twitter, Facebook and Blog addresses. We also got the word out on our large information screen in the lobby, and by submitting to the post-wide announcements email. Slowly, as we continued to provide original content, announcements, reminders and links to articles or websites of interest, our following grew to a level on par with the number of social media followers of other Fort Leavenworth organizations. Several of our tweets and articles about librarianship and archives were forwarded or retweeted by our followers, which increased our exposure. One blog entry was retweeted by one of the Smithsonian Twitter accounts as well, a real treat and highlight for our library. Through consistent and quality updates, we had grown our following and made it worth our time to continue with.
I had planned to work on our social media at least two days a week, every Tuesday and Friday. However, if you post all of your links, articles and information on only two days, over the course of a few hours, and "flood" your followers with information, it can overwhelm them, or cause them to tune you out. Spreading out blog posts was easy; Blogger has a feature that allows you to change the post date and time. Changing the date to a future date meant that I did not need to actually generate a post on Wednesday for one to appear. If nothing else, it looked like we were being more attentive to our social media than we actually were. The problem, however, was Twitter and Facebook, and the amount of time it took to copy and paste a blog URL or other information into each system. Not to mention the continued issue of flooding.
After trying several "apps" both for Facebook and Twitter, which would allow you to automatically update one with a post to the other, I settled on Hootsuite to manage this. It had several advantages. The first was that it only required one central login to update both services, and I could send to both services at once. There were other advantages as well. We could allow multiple "team" members to log into the library's account with their own individual usernames and passwords. We could also post-date Tweets and Facebook posts. I could spend an hour or two one or two days a week generating several blog posts and a handful of posts and tweets, but they would be spread across multiple days, all without me having to log back in to continue generating the content.
This sort of streamlining saved a significant amount of time and concentration. I could dedicate myself fully to the task once or twice a week, and see the rewards every single day.
Another technique that helped to reduce the amount of time I was spending on social media updates was to engage my fellow librarians to submit interesting information or blog posts on topics in which they were relative experts directly to me to be posted, so they did not need to bother logging in to anything, or worrying about formatting and posting procedures. I, on the other hand, had one less post to write. They submitted summaries of professional conferences they went to, book reviews, even information on common reference requests or helpful research links.
This technique gave staff a tiny and concise way to help with social networking that was in no way overwhelming, and allowed them to talk about something that they found personally to be interesting or fun.
As a continued way to promote our social media presence, and to make social media easier to use, I also have taught social media classes both for librarians and for our patrons. As time passes, the statistics culled via Facebook and Blogger's tracking systems have let us see that our following, and therefore our effectiveness had continued to grow, reinforcing for us the value of popularity in our continued outreach.
We may break out into new forms of social media over time, as services rise and fall in usage. If we find our patrons are moving away from a service like Twitter and Facebook, and are moving over to a community blogging system like LiveJournal, or Tumblr, we will find ourselves going to where the people are. NPR has found success on Tumblr, and the Library of Congress has a huge collection of images available via Flickr. For now, we will just keep trying to perfect our utilization of the services that we already have.

Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are encouraging the purchase of Fair Trade products:
A bouquet of flowers can say, "I love you," I'm sorry," or "Get well." If they're Fair Trade flowers they can also say, "I care."
Every dollar spent on Fair Trade Certified flowers supports the health and livelihood of flower industry employees – mostly women in Central and South America. Flowers that carry the Fair Trade seal have been grown with fewer pesticides than typical flowers and pregnant workers are protected from exposure to dangerous toxins.
