Volunteers make a huge contribution to the work of the Library. We value our volunteers highly – the time, energy and talent they contribute is vital to our work.
Volunteers also have the opportunity to actively engage with our history, culture, knowledge, ideas and the world of books.
Library volunteers perform a broad range of crucial roles, including:
- organising and indexing collections to improve the community's access to them
- leading public tours and assisting with family and school holiday programs and Library events
- raising money for the State Library of Victoria Foundation.
For volunteers, it's a great way to develop new skills and learn more about one of Victoria's leading cultural centres. Whether you're a post-secondary student, retiree, parent or businessperson, we'd love you to volunteer with us.
Work experience placements are available to secondary school students in Years 10 and 11.
Read our volunteer charter to learn more about our commitment to our volunteers.
Recruiting now
We are currently recruiting for volunteers to work during our outdoor exhibition, Grasslands, which will run from 11 October to 23 November on the Library forecourt.
Working in pairs, in three-hour shifts, volunteers will engage with visitors as they explore the re-creation of the flowering landscape that covered the Library site before white settlement began in 1835.
If you enjoy working with people and have an interest in horticulture, history and the environment, please read the task outline at the bottom of this page and apply via email using the application form.
Applications close on Friday 22 August at 4pm.

We've talked in the past about why freelance writers need a professional website.
There are some things we didn't get into then, and some things have changed over the years, making them more important now than ever.
To kick off our series on professional websites for freelance writers, let's start by looking at some of the most important reasons you might want to create one.
5 Reasons You Need a Professional Website
It doesn't matter what kind of freelance writing work you do. A professional website is an asset, and for most freelancers it's a vital one. Here's why:
1. Clients are impatient.
When you pitch a new prospect or one finds you through search engines or a referral, they want to know what you can do, and they want to know fast. Chances are good they're considering other writers. And they need an easy way to compare you side-by-side.
Your professional website puts everything they need at their fingertips. They can find out exactly what services you offer. They can see samples of your work in your portfolio. They can view your freelance rates to see how you compare to the competition. And they can easily find out how to contact you privately for a final quote or contract.
Clients might be looking for freelancers at any time. You can't be available 24/7. Your website can be. The easier you make things on prospects, the better the chance that they'll contact you if you're a good fit.
2. Diversity in marketing is a good thing.
No one should ever rely on a single marketing tactic, and that includes querying. If the only way you bring in new freelance writing clients is by querying (or cold calling, or whatever your choice marketing tactic is), you're missing out on opportunities.
Clients find their freelancers in different ways. Some must be pitched (and some don't even know they need you until you pitch them on something). Others only hire based on referrals. Some directly search for freelancers in the specialty they need. And some (most frequently on the low end of the pay spectrum) advertise publicly in the hopes of getting a large applicant pool to choose from.
If a client chooses to search for freelancers on their own, you absolutely should have a website. But professional sites are important beyond that. Even when clients find out about you in other ways, your website is a fantastic supplementary marketing tool.
For example, query letters aren't meant to include long histories. They're meant to get the reader's attention and build interest in your services. Including a link to your website allows an editor or other client to learn more about you and view more samples if that's their preference in their hiring process.
The same goes for referrals. You'll get more if you make it easy on the person referring you. They should be able to give a quick recommendation and a link to your site where the prospect can learn more. They shouldn't have to sell your services for you.
3. Third party tools shouldn't be counted on exclusively.
Along the lines of the previous point, no, it's not enough to have a Facebook account or Twitter profile or an account on any other third party service. Might they help clients find you in search engines? Sure. But you can't count on them.
Just as no smart website owner is going to count on Google alone for traffic and revenue, and just as you would never rely on just one client to keep your freelance career going, you shouldn't rely on a third party platform to serve as your home base on the Web. You never know when it will be gone, when it will be penalized in search results, or when the terms of service will change.
Remember, just because you're comfortable with things like social media platforms, that doesn't mean everyone else is. Many businesses still don't use social media. And if those potential clients don't trust social media enough to use it themselves, you might lose them by having that be your only Web presence, nonetheless other platforms they've never heard of.
Having your own website is the only way you stay in control of your platform's success or failure in attracting clients. And it's the only way you have full control over your messaging, appearance, and features (such as an email list).
4. Analytics are important to improving your marketing.
One of the biggest reasons freelancers should set up professional websites is that they're amazing market research tools. To improve your marketing efforts over time, you need to find out what works and what doesn't.
When you host your own website, you can use a wide variety of Web analytics tools to find out who your website is appealing to, who sends referrals and traffic your way, and much more. While other platform options might offer some data, none offer as much as you can get from your own hosted website. And in business, nothing is more valuable than good information.
5. A professional website makes you look more, well, professional.
Let's face it. Clients often expect you to have a professional website. And not having one makes you look less professional, no matter how many years you might have on the other writers being considered for the gig.
Your website also helps you build credibility in your specialty area, especially when you tie a blog to it (not a blog for other writers, but a blog targeting your existing client base).
Then there's the branding side of things to consider. Third party platforms don't give you full control over branding (think about Google+ limiting custom URL options or someone with the same name on that or another social network). With your own website, you can stick with personal branding or any business branding that suits you, and you can make sure it's something you can carry over to other platforms before you commit.
These are far from the only reasons you should set up a professional website, and even a blog. But they're important reasons to take your freelance website seriously and not brush it off.
Still to come in our series on professional websites for freelancers -- why freelance writers need a blog on their professional site, what you should include on your business website as a freelance writer, and some examples of well-designed professional websites from your fellow freelance writers.

Jenn, you make an excellent case for a freelance writer to have a quality website. I've gotten several great projects from people who found me through web searches.
A more problematic question is whether or not a writer should have a blog as part of the website. Blogging has the potential to bring more search traffic, and to impress potential clients, but it can take time away from working on paying projects or directly prospecting for good gigs.

I love freelancing. Not only is it great bread and butter money, but it's encouraging to see something you wrote in print in a relatively quick turn-around time. I would encourage any writer to consider freelance writing as well. Great article with very useful tips and encouragement.

BBC-led RadioPlayer arrives at last
The RadioPlayer console went live this morning, uniting British radio stations under a simple, open easy-to-use web interface. It's quite a political achievement, given the nature of the squabbling radio business – and all the more so since the entire project required just one full-time employee – and had a budget lower than the …
I for one welcome our big radio overlords
There's about as much chance of access for small internet stations as there is of a snowball fight in hell.
What will actually happen is that the big stations will do their damndest to convince everyone that RadioPlayer==Internet radio to stop the drip, drip of listeners to genuinely small stations.
The bad part is that it'll probably work too.
small internet stations ...
The £200 doesn't seem like much to me - how much is it to belong to OfCom?
Or they could always get together and do one for internet radio - this should do well as it needn't just be limited to the UK. I'd definitely be interested in finding foreign stations easily.
"The bad part is that it'll probably work too."
I doubt it. People who listen to internet radio are generally rather clued up about the internet. The arrival of this service isn't going to trick them into not listening to all those niche stations they enjoy now.
Project name
If the iPlayer is for stuff you watch, then for stuff you listen to it should be called earPlayer.
Good idea
Could call it rPlayer - 'r' for Radio obviously, but r also sounds like 'ear' - if you're from Dorset. And if you're deaf.
Not sure about the 'user-friendly' aspect...
though it seems to work otherwise. Hitting 'r' in the browse choice doesn't provide 'Radio 4' - that's under 'b'... and the generic front page search has fallen over.
"Sorry, we can't bring you any Radioplayer search results at the moment. We're aware of the problem, and we're working to fix it. Please click 'Close', and try again later."
It'll be interesting to see how this gets used.
That explains the problems earlier
I listen to radio 1 online about 3 or 4 times a week. I did think something looked different today. I guess this explains it.
I guess that also explains the annoying echo and screwed up audio that kept coming in for a few minutes every now and then.
"I guess that also explains the annoying echo and screwed up audio that kept coming in for a few minutes every now and then."
..possibly some modern jazz tracks that somehow snuck in ?...
Screwed up audio
"I guess that also explains the annoying echo and screwed up audio that kept coming in for a few minutes every now and then."
No, that's just Radio 1.
So if it can tell me which DJ is on right now, what's on next, and show a flashy animated logo, why can't I see something telling me what song is playing on 6Music? My DAB tells me (most of the time), so the info is available. Surely this is a good reason for listening on a device with a screen?
Apart from that it's ok I guess.
One of my biggest gripes about bbc's radio / listen again feeds is that they don't show what's playing; freeview does, dab does and they put track-lists up on the web pages (which, without timestamps are about as much use as a handbrake on a canoe), so why on earth they can't display it in the radio player i do not know.
I'm pretty sure i saw that iplayer carries subtitles, and it's essentially the same principle (text + timestamp).
Requires Flash
And like a lot of sites the search function doesn't work without me giving Google permission to run code on my machines.
On the plus side there I haven't found any geoblocking.
Anyone know of Adblock for radio? :)
Yea, whatever
More of the same it seems. Only FM, AM and DAB stations allowed - musnt have any of those awful internet stations!
The establishment lead by the tax funded BBC protecting the establishment by trying to corner the market.
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
Great more Flash lock-in. Still no BBC radio on Android. Of course it's OK for the smaller installed base of the iOS devices to use direct streams, but we couldn't allow that for Android oh no.
The Android iPlayer App has been out for about two months now, and I'm fairly certain I've streamed via the Flash Player on the Mobile Version of the site.
Ofcom License?
"Currently you need an Ofcom licence and a £200 one-off access fee. "
Why do I need to pay Ofcom £200 and get their permission to run an internet facing audio streaming server? (Have I misunderstood this?)
Besides which, leaving aside questions of quality, there are many hundreds of internet 'radio' stations out there and I've been able to use Winamp (etc) to listen to them for years.
I believe the license referred to
is a standard broadcasting license, as in radio broadcasting using actual radio waves.
'Small station' meaning 'Turd FM 102.912' with it's groundbreaking 'guess the year' competitions and hours of 'high-quality' automated output, not the small internet stations you're thinking of.
I hear that there's some good internet radio around on friday nights, but that's another story entirely..
Iots of other internet radio stations...
I usually use http://www.listenlive.eu/uk.html
which launches into whatever player is relevant.
Re: Iots of other internet radio stations...
Thanks for the url!
Top link
Thank you.
Another new standard
Sigh, so BBC Radio is now available by another method, but I STILL CANNOT GET IT ON MY INTERNET RADIO Grrrr!!!!
Why is it I can get thousands of stations, but the only BBC one is the bloody world service?
And when you ask BBC Radio about internet radio, they just say "Download the new version of internet explorer..."
It's interesting to see that the new web based internet radio is also flash based, so no use on web tablets, TVs, phones, etc. either...
Works on Android and Windows tablets
You must mean the iShitpad.
@Bug R Us
The iPad has it's own native iPlayer app, which will play both live and recorded TV and radio from all of the BBC national stations, but you knew that and were just trying to be annoying weren't you.
The problem that the owners of dedicated internet radio devices have is that the BBC don't provide their streams in standard formats, which is a different issue.
Re: Another new standard →
You need a UK based proxy.
I think the BBC should sell an optional license for people outside the UK - and I should get one free!! (With my TC license).
BBC is available on my internet radio
I've got a Roberts 83i. All the BBC stations were there in its internet mode ootb. So is all the Listen Again stuff, as it happens. So not sure what the problem with your internet radio is, but seemingly not insurmountable.
Requires Flash. Feck that.
I think I'll stick with TuneRadio on my iDevices...
I like
I like it, but it's been crashing fairly regularly all day.
Almost works...
...on Android.
Whilst I can view the site using Dolphin web browser and listen. The individual search buttons don't work.
Looks like they don't bother testing their site with the leading browser for Android and Flash 10.2
But it really needs to be an App as I'd like to turn off my screen whilst listening to a programme and save my battery!
Seems OK now....
.... on my Squeezebox Touch after a firmware update. Its still called iPlayer too.
I notice that Radio Feeds UK & Ireland has just appeared and also seems to work.
Much better services already exist
It has taken the BBC ages to get this off the ground.
A much better service (for those with an Android mobile phone) is the app Tunein. Although I think it is also available on the JesusPhone and blackberry. You'll get 30,000 radio stations from all around the world, including the BBC and a lot of local stations as well.
Where to start. radioplayer.co.uk doesn't resolve to a web site while www.radioplayer.co.uk does. That's just sloppy. Then once you get in well yes it's OK - but I've read the FAQ and ironically for something that is supposed to be 'open' it actually feels very proprietary and closed.
I don't want a player foisted on me, especially one that doesn't officially support anything other than a desktop computer. I want open standards so that I can choose from a range of players that can all use the same data, and, oh I don't known, a .org site that provides the metadata for each station that provides a stream in the standard format.
I guess that's Tunein then. OK so a load of companies have spent a six figure sum of money to develop a web site/player that is eclipsed, on day one, by a number of other services. Way to go...
Failure points
1. Only UK stations
2. Only 'major' stations
3. Only 15 presets (what!!)
4. Sound quality is piss poor
5. No 'record to disk' facility
Of course you can record it by recording 'what you hear' on your soundcard but it would be better to have it inbuilt.
Now I can listen to radio over my powerline ethernet.
unremarkable, and aimed at desktops and tablets in the faq rather than mobiles
As the title says. Choice fm and jazz fm already embrace mobile. Jazz fm says "and everywhere on your mobile device" every hour. It might work on some mobiles but this radioplayer.co.uk service is not aimed at mobiles but desktops laptops and tablets.
Missing link again:-(
I didn't take me long to find http://www.radioplayer.co.uk/ but why oh why does 'The Register' have this obsession with not including THE important link in many stories?
Just tried it out, first impressions seems OK.
I compared the feed to SKY (which has a short delay on it) and found that the delay on this is about 15 seconds.
Radioplayer - online programs vs previously-broadcast programs
With Radioplayer, I can listen to currently broadcasting radio programs - no problems.
But I can't get it to player previously-broadcast programs. I can the right panel displayed, but clicking on the right-pointing arrow has no effect.
Yet I can listen to previously-broadcast programs okay if I go via the Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4, etc, websites.
Why the difference? What do I need to do to get Radioplayer working properly?
I'm using IE 7.0.6000.16982 - do I need to upgrade that? Or download any other s/ware?
Feel free to respond via The Register site or email me privately at firstname.lastname@example.com
Help!! - My Radioplayer only works for online programs
With Radioplayer, I can listen to online radio programs - no problems.
But I can't get it to play previously-broadcast programs. I can see the correct panel displayed, but clicking on the right-pointing arrow has no effect - nothing starts!

SAN BENITO - Angel Perez survived his battle against cancer, but lost his life to a knife blade Monday in San Benito.
Police are looking for three men in the case. They said the three attacked and stabbed Perez multiple times.
Perez was found the 19-year-old wounded at the corner of Winchell and Rockafeller streets. He was taken to Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen where he later died.
"He was a cancer survivor. He died two blocks down. He was running and he stopped running ... he didn't make it home," a relative said.
Police are trying to determine if Perez knew his attackers.
"We didn't know of him being in any gangs He had no police record. He was a good kid. I guess he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time," the relative said.
Police are looking for Esteban Rodriguez. He is considered a person of interest, officials said.
Anyone with information on this case or the suspects is asked to call San Benito police at 956-361-3880.

Series 7 Opener is "Asylum of the Daleks"
It's been rumoured for a while and now confirmation comes that Doctor Who's Series 7 opener is titled Asylum of the Daleks.
The news was revealed by the BFI who will be screening the episode on 14th August, with tickets to go on sale 10th July.
This means Doctor Who is almost certainly going to return to TV late August, as all the signs pointed to back when the Guardian announced another screening at the 2012 Edinburgh International Television Festival.
Evidence strongly suggests that Saturday 25th August will be the date BBC1 premieres, which is a bank holiday weekend.
So it looks like we're only two months away from Doctor Who being back on our screens!

President Obama questions safety of football
In 1905, 18 college and amateur players died while playing football President Theodore Roosevelt almost outlawed the sport. Today, President Barack Obama made a statement questioning football's safety again.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Obama is quoted in an upcoming article in the New Republic unease about the number of concussions football players are suffering each year. He is expressed specific concern over the collegiate players lack of representation compared to NFL players and said he would like to see the NCAA about that.
The NFL has taken measures to help by donating $30 million to the Nation Institutes of Health for research on the connection between brain injuries and long-term disorders, according to the New York Times.
Obama said in an interview if he had a son, he would have to "think long and hard before I let him play football" but he admitted the sport will have to undertake gradual changes to reduce the dangers inherent with playing it, CNN is reporting.

Should Women Have the Right to Go Topless in Public? An Interview With NYC's Topless Activist
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Moira Johnston is 29 years old and lives in lower Manhattan. She shops at Whole Foods and practices yoga in Union Square. She visits her family often. She's also a "topfreedom" activist who recently began receiving media attention for walking around in public without a shirt on.
Johnston, who started going topless in public this past January, recently shared her thoughts about her life and activism with AlterNet. Naturally, Johnston was topless throughout the interview, which was conducted in New York's Union Square. During that time, one female passerby told Johnston politely but firmly that she should put a shirt o; a man asked her about her views on polyamory; and another woman expressed support for Johnston's cause. But Johnston says most people -- men and women -- simply turn away in embarrassment.
Johnston argues that gender discrimination is a civil rights violation, and if men are allowed to go topless in public then so should women. In fact, women are legally allowed to go topless in New York state. The same is true of several other states around the country, though many cities have anti-female toplessness ordinances in place. (Topless activists argue that such ordinances are unconstitutional.)
So who is the woman who has the ovaries to fight topless discrimination in New York City?
Shiuan Butler: Are you topless all the time?
Moira Johnston: I do go topless as much as possible. In public, I'm usually topless. Unless I go into some kind of business that requires shirts. Then I wear a shirt.
SB: I was wondering about that. Like Starbucks -- they have shirt requirements.
MJ: Yeah.
SB: How was your first time going topless?
MJ: It was very draining. [laughs]
SB: In what way?
MJ: Just the response it gets from people, and it's a lot of talking to people. Doing something that's different from the social norm can be draining energetically.
SB: What is your main reason for going topless?
MJ: My main reason is to educate the public about women's rights. People don't know that it's legal for women to be topless in the whole state of New York. So it's primarily about raising awareness about that and about equality for women.
SB: I read about how bras can be detrimental to our health by weakening our tendons so we'll sag more when we're braless. Is that part of why you go topless?
MJ: It wasn't part of my thinking initially, but I certainly think it strengthens the case for women to go topless or for women to go braless at least.
SB: How did you first get into topless activism? What inspired you?
MJ: I was practicing yoga at Jivamukti [Yoga School] right here in Union Square and I felt like taking off my shirt during class. I didn't do it at first. I actually went to the founder and asked her if it was OK because a lot of my male counterparts practice without a shirt there and in other yoga studios as well. So I practiced yoga topless and a bunch of people complained about it, and so I realized that they didn't know it was legal. That's what inspired me to become more active about letting people know that it's legal.
There are other yoga studios in the city that are saying that men are allowed to practice without a shirt but women are not allowed to. And that is actually against the law. It's a civil rights violation to make a distinction based on the sex of a person. And so the more people become aware that it is legal for women to be topless, the more that won't be an issue in places like businesses.

Expert writing teachers and consultants join Kentucky Department of Education Associate Commissioner Starr Lewis for a discussion of the elements of quality teacher/student writing conferences. The panelists respond to videotape footage of writing conferences at all grade levels and discuss the strategies teachers use to make the most of them. The examples illustrate that writing conferences do not have to be time-consuming, planned events that occur only after a student has written a draft. Rather, effective conferences can be spontaneous and quick, can occur at any stage of the writing process, and can even be whole-class or small-group activities. A 2001 KET production.

Meanwhile, The French Are Revolting...Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/31/2014 19:35 -0400
Amid record unemployment, even recorder youth unemployment, and politicians willingly breaking EU treaties (with apparently no consequences), it appears - just as in the US - police brutality in France was the straw that broke 'Le Camel's back. As RT reports, another anti-police brutality protest turned violent in the French city of Rennes, with masked youths and police engaging in running street battles. The unrest follows the death of a young environmental activist earlier this week. Overnight Thursday, protesters in the northwestern city lobbed flairs at police and flipped over cars, some of which they set ablaze. Police responded by firing tear gas. We hear guillotines are still cheap on ebay.

"Troubling Trend" NATO Warns Russian Military Aircraft Incursions Worst Since Cold WarSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/31/2014 18:29 -0400
Over the last 2 days, more than two dozen Russian military aircraft, in four groups, were tracked and intercepted conducting aerial maneuvers around Europe, according to NATO. As The Wall Street Journal reports, this activity is on a scale seldom seen since the end of the Cold War, prompting NATO jets to scramble in another sign of how raw East-West relations have grown. "There is a troubling trend... of sabre rattling" warned The White House, noting that NATO has intercepted over 100 incursions by Russia year-to-date to which the US Army chief of staff ominously warned, this is "Russian aggression," and "we have to reassure our allies."

Meet "Rolling Jubilee" - The Group Buying & Tearing-Up Student LoansSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/31/2014 17:16 -0400
An offshoot of 'Occupy Wall Street' is taking the $1.2 trillion student loan bubble, debt servitude dilemma of America's youth into its own hands... bit by tiny bit. As The BBC reports, activist group 'Rolling Jubilee' wants to "liberate debtors" by buying student-debt-bundled ABS on the secondary market (where they trade at significant discounts) and writing off the underlying loans. As Rolling Jubilee notes, "your debts are on sale... just not on sale to you," until now.

Saxobank CIO Warns USDJPY Could Hit 135 On "One Trick Pony" BoJ DesperationSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/31/2014 15:22 -0400
From a market perspective the move today was almost perfectly timed coming on the heels of a Federal Open Market Committee meeting which ended quantitative easing and expose the big difference on future monetary paths between the BoJ and the Fed. There is, however, a dark side to this big move.. telling a story of how central banks, even the desperate ones like BoJ, are and remain one-trick-pony institutions: "this is the final round – Japan was ALWAYS going to give it one more shot – now it happened."

The Next Time The BIS Wants To Warn About Monetary Kool-Aid, Bubbles, Lack Of Liquidity Or Complacency...Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/31/2014 14:04 -0400
We have a modest proposal to the Bank of International Settlements, aka the "central banks' central bank": the next time you feel like warning the general public about: "low volatility everywhere" or that asset prices are at "elevated" level, that "it is hard to avoid the sense of a puzzling disconnect between the markets' buoyancy and underlying economic developments globally", that "despite the euphoria in financial markets, investment remains weak" that "the temptation to go for shortcuts is simply too strong, even if these shortcuts lead nowhere" that "As each day goes by, it seems less and less likely central banks can now really do "whatever it takes", maybe it should discuss its asset-bubble, volatility-crushing, impotent-central banking concerns with its Board of Directors first?

QE, Parallel Universes And The Problem With Economic GrowthSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/26/2014 12:44 -0400
"While monetary weapons can be a good first step to remedying an economic crisis, they are clearly not enough on a standalone basis to return an economy to stability and growth. My concern is that there has been an almost total academic capture of the mechanism of the Fed and other central banks around the world by neo-Keynesian thinking and hence policymaking, while the executive and legislative branches of the government have turned a blind eye to the necessary reforms. So while the plan has thus far worked brilliantly for Wall Street, what central bankers have succeeded in doing is preventing, or at least postponing, the hard choices and legislative actions necessary by our politicians to fully implement a sustainable and prosperous future for our children—and theirs...Today I view the world as "risk-uncertain," and in these instances I recommend the armored vehicle."

Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page Lock Lips for Marie Claire
While the accompanying Q&A opens with the fact that during the interview the two "can't keep their hands off of each other," neither that -- nor their kiss -- is acknowledged by either actress, at least not in the online version of the magazine.
But over the weekend Barrymore addressed the kiss in the Toronto Star: "Ellen and I are as just silly, fun girls that love each other and people can make out of it what they will. There's nothing there but fun girlie friendship and affection."
Do we buy this explanation?
Some will surely use the photo to fuel rumors that Page is a lesbian, and a little girl-on-girl is nothing new for Barrymore. Two years ago magazine editor Jane Pratt claimed to have had a lesbian affair with Barrymore (which the actress never denied), though both Pratt and Barrymore identify as straight (or at least publicly date men).
Whatever their sexual orientations, the actresses are -- at the very least -- besties who happen to find each other extremely attractive. When speaking to Marie Claire about body image, Barrymore said that Page had "such a beautiful body," and that when walking around "in her frickin' bra with an open jacket and hot-pink shorts ... she was sexy as a mother ... " But who among us hasn't said something similar about a girlfriend -- er, female friend?
What do you think: Was the kiss a publicity stunt, a big "eff you" to the busy bodies who care too much about celebrities' sexuality, or like Barrymore said, merely a display of girlie friendship and affection?
Better yet, maybe it's just a ploy to sell magazines. Of all the photos taken for the story, it was the one featuring the kiss that was used to accompany the online version of the article.

Please - why is anyone making this a news story? Two girls kissing in public or in the privacy of their home is not news anymore. This is 2009, not 1909. Girls are allowed to be open and honest about their inner thoughts and feelings toward one another. All you have to do is go out to any club and within two hours you are sure to see two girls kiss at least once. Let's all get our heads out of the sand and talk about real news...not fluff.

Yes, girls are doing this all the time at bars, clubs .... and in media. Not at all because they are expressing natural attractions or havingsome sort of inherent "girlie attraction", but to get the attention of men. Through the years women have found different ways to degrade themselves for the boy they think is curte, or just for male attention in general. Whether it's flashing, sending nude photos, or kissing someone of the opposite sex. Don't fool yourslf into believing they are just "experimenting", or thought a verue public venue like a club or in front of cameras surrounded by hollering men would be the perfect spot to begin "experimenting" with bisexuality. It's demeaning any self-respecting woman should be disgusted to see members of the same lowering themselves in this way. You think a guy would do this for you if you asked to him in the club? You think a good-looking man would flash you if you offered him a dumb pair of beads? Then stat respecting yourselves and men will start respecting you eventually. I don't care about how many guys get angry at me on here for letting the cat out of the bag that we know the real reason why you do it. because they get off on seeing you make a fool of yourself for them.

By Nikki
Hi Bob,
You are very typical of most straight guys that I know. Men in Western culture are programmed to be "macho". Anything resembling feminity ( sensitive, expressive, etc.) is considered negative. Most of that actually, I believe, is rooted in the patriarchal society that we have grown up in. Male is good, strong, intelligent, the breadwinner, head of the house and female is weak, less intelliegent, vulnerable.
We see this clearly evidenced in historical religious teaching and practice where women are not allowed to be priests or to have powerful positions within the Church. . The Bible tells a woman who has an issue with the Church to be silent and ask her husband...lol.
Good Lord, it was just about 100 years ago that women in America could vote. In Middle Eastern countries women can't vote, can't drive, can't travel without their husband.
For a women to take on a role as masculine (as in a lesbian relationship) that is not frowned on. It's a common fantasy for heterosexual men so that's OK. For a man to take on a more feminine/ submissive role as in a gay relationship then this is "unnatural" or "an abomination". Even in gay male relationships, the "top"/ dominant partner is considered to be more accepted than a "bottom"/ submissive. I believe this is why women have much more flexible sexual roles and men have much more rigid roles. Our society stigmatizes male sexual experimentation but either ignores or promotes womens' sexual diversity.
Let's face it. Attitudes about sexuality stem from the social messages that we receive. With the emergence of Feminism comes the diversity of gender roles and the freedom to express that. Feminism and the acceptance of Sexual Diversity really go hand in hand. As a result of the Feminist Movement of the last 40-50 years, women are much further along than men in their ability to express themselves and to live honestly.

AP Sports Writer
DETROIT (AP) -- Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is facing potential discipline from the NFL.
The league is reviewing Suh's play against Cleveland.
Suh led with his helmet when he hit Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden after he threw a pass in Sunday's game. The hit that wasn't penalized was shown on a video posted on NFL.com on Tuesday as vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said, "Why don't we look at it some more?" in the league's officiating command center.
Suh was fined $100,000 for an illegal block on Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan during an interception return in Week 1. He lost an appeal last week, upholding the largest fine in NFL history for on-field conduct, not including money lost by players due to suspension.

Dough taken out from the bread machine.
Since I have a babysitter for two nights and my husband is out of town so therefore I'm up late. I shouldn't be staying up this late but I want to bake this whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread as my gratitude towards my babysitter who's my neighbor. I still have about an hour and forty five minutes to go.
As I'm waiting, I did a little house cleaning on my blog. And a new font as I love fonts and was playing around with it for awhile before I decided what was soft to read on my eyes. And the links colors to purple because I love the color purple. Just keeping it simple.
How lovely is the sight of the second rising.
Zapping the mosquitoes as they fly fast. I love the sizzling sound of death for the mozzies. Oh make sure they sizzle up in smoke or they will be ressurected to life!
It's 1: 32AM and I can't sleep because there's this ONE mozzie in the bedroom that I have to zap. So, good morning before I go to sleep friends!

NHTSA Recall 13V-307
Dear CTX700ND Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
What is the reason for this notice?
Honda has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2014 model year Honda CTX700ND motorcycles. During assembly of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) modulator an aluminum chip may have been introduced into one of its passages. If an aluminum chip is present and becomes lodged in one of the internal valves there may be a reduction in anti-lock functionality and tire skidding during hard braking could occur. Unexpected skidding of either the front or rear tires under hard braking increases the risk of a crash.
What should you do?
Please call your authorized Honda motorcycle dealer and make an appointment to have your motorcycle's ABS Modulator replaced at no cost to you. The complete process for repair may take approximately 90 minutes; however, your motorcycle may need to be at the dealer for a longer period of time. We recommend that you plan to leave your motorcycle for at least half a day to allow the dealer flexibility in scheduling.
For assistance with locating a Honda motorcycle dealer, you may call Honda Motorcycle Customer Support at
1-866-784-1870 or use the "find a dealer" option on http://www.powersports.honda.com
Who to contact if you experience problems?
If you are not satisfied with the service you receive from your Honda dealer, you may write to or call:
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Motorcycle Customer Support
Mail Stop 100-4C-7B
1919 Torrance Blvd.
Torrance, CA 90501-2746.
If you believe that American Honda or the dealer has failed or is unable to remedy the safety defect in your motorcycle, without charge, within a reasonable period of time (60 days from the date you first contact the dealer for a repair appointment), you may submit a complaint to:
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
1200 New Jersey Ave., SE
Washington, DC 20590
Or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153], or go to
http:// www.safercar.gov.
What to do if you feel this notice is in error.
Registration records indicate that you are the current owner of a 2014 CTX700ND involved in this campaign. If this is not the case, or the name/address information is not correct, please fill out and return the enclosed, postage-paid Information Change Card. We will then update our records.
Lessor Information:
Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within 10 days.
We apologize for any inconvenience this campaign may cause you.

My most memorable moment was probably four days ago when my almost 15 month old daughter (I have twins) pulled herself up for the FIRST TIME! She has some gross motor delays and we've worked with Early Intervention, but I was honestly starting to worry that she wouldn't walk until her 2nd birthday. Now I'm a little more optimistic that she'll catch up and maybe even be walking by 18 months, which is at the far end, but still within the range of "normal"!
Sorry, didn't mean to write a comment novel- it's just very fresh still and I'm still really excited, lol!
My most memorable moment is not a favorable one. I can't wait for the new year! hopefully things will get better.

Forever a child He was something like what nightmares were made of. It was strange; he once promised her a better life, now that she was no longer a princess. Ever since she was abandoned by her own father and given away to the world to perish alone. But all he wanted, all he had a taste for was her blood.
She remembered his promise to give her something of a better life in exchange for her blood; he gave her dolls that resembled her own appearance, a bed and food. But as time went by, night after night of having him bite into the delicate flesh of her neck and wrists, drinking what life she had within her veins, she b

Ever busy ridding Tarrant County of evil, a local Tea Party has found a new threat.The co-founder and president of the NE Tarrant Tea Party has come out against Methodists.Republicans should vote for a straitlaced fellow Southern Baptist instead of a Methodist for a vacant judgeship because Methodists believe "everything goes," Tea Party co-founder and president Julie McCarty of Grapevine wrote on Facebook.Arlington lawyer Don Hase, the Methodist, replied on his page: " God does not want politicians spinning to the public."Hase is one of three candidates for County Criminal Court No. 1 along with Bedford lawyer David E. Cook, a Baptist, and current state District Judge Everett Young of Fort Worth, a Lutheran.Both Hase and Young have been recommended by other Tea Party affiliates. A local bar association poll rates both as "well-qualified," Cook only "qualified."Cook, not related to the Mansfield mayor with the same name, did not return a phone message Thursday.He has written on social media that church denomination can be a "secondary" qualification.McCarty declined comment Thursday but posted and then deleted a Facebook comment criticizing the United Methodist Church for having women as pastors and welcoming gay worshipers.Co-founder of the Grapevine-based NE Tarrant Tea Party in 2009 as an offshoot of the Dallas Tea Party, she is described in an online biography as a lifelong Baptist who has led mission trips.On Facebook, she wrote earlier this month that she saw pros and cons in both candidates, but "my con with Hase was that he is a Methodist. … Methodists tend not to take a stand on issues — anything goes."When the Rev. Denise A. Luper of Davis Memorial United Methodist Church in nearby North Richland Hills objected, McCarty replied, "Oh, lighten up. … My preference is a straitlaced Baptist to an everything-goes Methodist."Luper said Thursday she didn't want Methodists stereotyped: "I don't care what she says or who she votes for, but the statements she made were assumptions."McCarty's Tea Party group had been meeting at Concordia Lutheran Church in Bedford but no longer does so, pastor Mark Lasch said.The conflict was not the first between a Tea Party leader and Methodists.In 2011, a Tea Party Nation leader complained about Methodism's support of immigration reform and the DREAM Act legalizing children brought to the U.S. illegally. Judson Phillips said: "I have a 'dream' — that is, no more United Methodist Church."In Washington, Mark Tooley of the Christian conservative Instititute on Religion and Democracy said McCarty's comment seems unfair: "Methodism is very liberal, but most Methodists are not nearly so liberal."At Southern Methodist University, political science professor Matthew Wilson writes and teaches on religion in politics."What makes this so much worse is that she attacked the candidate in startlingly denominational terms," Wilson said."She didn't say what's right or good about Baptists — just what was wrong with another denomination. … It's surprising because the religious right has tried to transcend religious boundaries."In a final Facebook comment, McCarty wrote: "Arguing with me is a waste of time."That's the gospel truth.

Change can be good. A case in point is the recent hire at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft. In January, Aldy Milliken arrived from Sweden to Louisville for his new position of executive director and chief curator and immediately went to work exploring different ways of looking at art and craft.
Milliken's previous experience owning an art gallery means he's comfortable in the contemporary art-world setting, but a museum dedicated to what has been better known for displaying regional folk art is a different matter. Before he even arrived at his new position, he had the façade of the KMAC building painted a slate gray and the doors an alarming street-cone orange to alert the public that transformation was underway.
Through the years, KMAC seemed to struggle with staying relevant and having issues of an outdated website, poor marketing, ho-hum exhibits and that certain 21c Museum Hotel just a stones throw away, it was easy to overlook KMAC's presence. The museum does stand out as a space to explore the cultural heritage of Kentucky and the world at large by preserving and promoting objects of craft. "Kentucky is an interesting place for a curator to engage in a discussion that questions what is arts and crafts. Traditional craft workers are still held in high esteem in the region but for the most part have yet to formulate themselves in an international context," Milliken wrote on the museum's blog.
For Milliken's first exhibit as chief curator, Into the Mix, which ran Feburary through April 2012, he pushed the craft envelope and called in Brooklyn urban artist Sofia Maldonado to create graffiti installations on the museums' front windows. So, if the brightly painted doors weren't enough to get your attention, the baby blue painted panes filled with clouds and bold black lines should make you stop and give a second look. "[Maldonado's] work is also a form of performance or 'artist as laborer working in Kentucky' that is specifically relevant in a process oriented craft context that defines the museum's mission," Milliken wrote to further explain just how exactly this makes sense for this type of museum.
Sofia Maldonado's graffiti work
Milliken is an American who has been seasoned by his more than 15 years of living overseas, running his own gallery and representing an artist in 1999 at the Venice Biennale. His interest in Louisville was brought about when he was introduced to then U.S. Ambassador to Sweden Matthew Barzun and wife Brooke, which Milliken says was his "introduction to people from Kentucky." Milliken says, "What's great about them [the Barzun's] is that they believe in ideas, they believe in content." The Barzun's then introduced Milliken to other art champions from Louisville, and through those connections he came to hear about the mission of KMAC and the vacant executive director position. After contemplating the everyday struggle of gallery life combined with wanting to move his family back stateside, he applied for the position. KMAC's board interviewed several qualified candidates, but ultimately decided to hire Milliken.

Vinay B Biradar of New Cambridge High School with 92.7 per cent is the highest scorer of his school. "I was sure of scoring above 90 per cent marks but topping my school was a bonus," he said.

Slacker Radio for Windows Phone 7
Search for a band, tap their name (Volbeat, for example), and Slacker begins buffering your first track and looking for other songs it thinks you'll like -- which you can like or ban while they play. Tap the album cover and Slacker loads band information, including a bio, album review, and lyrics from LyricFind. The free version allows you to favorite stations Slacker creates from your searches, while subscribers can also access their custom channels.
One big downside right now is that Slacker Radio doesn't run in the background. Tap the Windows button, and your track quits playing. To add salt to the wound, if you press back to return to the app it actually starts playing the next track in your queue -- even though it says 'resuming,' which I typically assume means a music app is going to pick up where it left off. Even if you tap to share with a friend, Slacker cuts out as soon as Windows Phone 7 loads up the email screen.
Still, Slacker is a solid app -- and you can use it without creating an account unlike the Last.fm app. The music library is massive, and the $3.99 a month price tag is hard to argue with. Bonus points for sending me on a detour through Bat Country, Slacker.
The good:
- Unobtrusive ads on the free version, easy in-app account upgrades
- Don't have to create an account to use the app
- Good audio quality, even when my Wi-Fi network was "sluggish"
- Does a very good job of selecting similar artists and songs
- Screen rotation is haphazard at best. To be fair, I have that problem with apps on my iPod touch from time to time, so it may not be the Slacker app to blame -- but WP7 or the phone's sensor.
- No background streaming. If you share a song or press the Windows button, your music cuts out.
- Sharing is limited to email -- Twitter and Facebook would be nice additions.

Good. Get rid of planned paranthood. Something else we have to pay for that we don't need. Not everyone needs to pay for your mistakes and birth control. Only you need too.
Noa, you probably should have finished reading the article. Welfare recipients don't need a "federally funded program to help them continue to make poor decisions, like unprotected sex". Using birth control is definitely not a poor decision, and this has nothing to do with welfare. This is about the thousands of children that will be born to poor parents that once relied on the services of Planned Parenthood. I feel so sorry for these children, but they will learn soon enough that this government just doesn't care about them, especially when they're poor.
I am happy you almost vomited.
The low income "whore" who should just keep my legs closed as opposed to having access to affordable birth control
P.s. Next time, ill do my best to actually make you vomit.
Wow!!!! There are plenty of uses for PLANNED PARENTHOOD!!! You are either not a woman or a wealthy republican if you think for one minute that the only reason planned parenthood is only here for abortions. Do you really think that animals can refrain completely from sexual activities???? Really??? We are all animals in the end, right? WTF is wrong with people? Do you not know that when a girl turns 18 she should be getting annuals as a cancer preventative? Do you know how many individuals count on going to planned parenthood for these pap's? There is no way that you can simply tell people not to do what is in there nature. I'm so angered by this ideology that it saddens me to think of how many WOMEN will go with out this preventative healthcare! In the end there will only be more money that taxpayers will have to dish out in welfare because birth control will no longer be available to citizens who can not afford them!!!
I couldn't finish this article without wanting to vomit!!! Basically there are people who think the whole nation should fund their irresponsible habits!!!??? It's not like 'unplanned parenthood' just happens… and oops not I am a welfare recipient. There are numerous preventative measures that cost absolutely nothing but time and a little thing called parenting. Or simply…. Close Your Legs!! I think its revolting that as a country we have become enablers. Don't get me wrong, there are genuine cases in which people need help to get on their feet. Needing a federally funded program to help you continue to make poor decsions like unprotected sex when you are clearly unable to financially accept the consequences of those decisions is absurd and a gross misuse of my tax dollars. Frankly, the statement of the costs being much higher if we don't provide these programs shows the class of people we are speaking about. Our country is economically drowning because to many of these Amanda Hart minded people are draining it's resources without giving back!!! Just another case of irresponsible American "culture". We see it in everything: family income to debt ratio, forclosure rate, oil spills, energy crisis, and it is especially reflected in this article. I for one voted for change and that's what I want to see!!! We as individuals need to become more responsible for our own actions and make better decisions!!!

Inspired to try something a bit different with your beauty look by the touch of glamour the BAFTA awards brought to London last night? Well, lucky you. We've spent all day tracking down the hair and make-up gurus to the stars to pick their brains on how they created the key BAFTA looks. Listen and learn below....
Freida Pinto: The new actress totally aced her beauty look with the help of her make-up artist, Joe Hopker, and hairdresser Nicky Clarke. Joe used products from the Cosmetics A La Carte range, including Skin Tint foundation in Golden Honey custom-blended with Gold to get the perfect dewy complexion. (Freida fell in love with the foundation on the set of Slumdog and has been addicted ever since!). To complement her radiant skin and Oscar de la Renta dress, Nicky created a classic down 'do. 'Freida loves her hair down but I wanted her to be able to show off her gorgeous earrings,' says Nicky. 'We went for a side-parting and kept the emphasis on being sleek and shiny with a lovely glossy wave. Classic old-school Hollywood with a young, sexy feel to it.'
Amy Adams: According to Chanel make-up artist, Kay Montano, who created Amy's look, it was all about the lashes and the nude lips. Kay used Chanel Vitalumiere in Limpide 10 followed by Poudre Universelle Compacte in Beige to get Amy's glow, then went for a brown smoky eye with Mystic Eyes shadow. Topped off with a heavy sweep of liner on the upper lid, individual layers of false lashes and Exceptionnel Mascara in black, Amy's eyes created the focus of her look while Kay kept her lips nude with Positano Creme Lipstick.
Marisa Tomei: 'I ringleted Marisa's hair section by section with 13mm curling irons, then pinned it into a near pleat at the back,' says A-list hair guru, Tara Smith. 'The look was inspired by a classic 1920s/1930s style but I then used my hands to fuzz up the back section and give it a modern edge.' The style was finished off with some Tara Smith Top Coat Glosser to give it that real red carpet shine. We like!
