The RAW Deal
Art can be found everywhere, from the surrealistic smiley face drawn on your check at the local Chili's to a purposeful piece of graffiti somewhere in Wynwood. Sometimes it's nice to see these things all under one roof. International independent arts organization RAW: natural born artists is doing just that with En Masse from 8 p.m. to midnight Friday, Aug. 23 at LMNT (55 NW 36th St.) showcasing local emerging artists in film, music, performing arts, fashion, hair, makeup, photography, and visual art. In other words, according to their website, an "artistic circus of creativity." Open to the public, the event is $20 cash at the door. There's a cash bar. Attire is cocktail. For lineup and more information, go to www.RAWartists.org/miami/enmasse.
Sonic Slaughter
Los Angeles-based producer DJ Carnage is bringing his Six Rings Tour to Miami at 11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23 at Mansion (1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach). Carnage has teamed up with Dutch producer Tony Junior to release their next major single "Michael Jordan" with powerhouse label Dim Mak Records. "Michael Jordan"—an homage to the iconic basketball player and his legendary jersey number #23—shows Carnage and Tony Junior flirting with enormous trance builds and thrashing hardstyle flavor for a new sound set to take the EDM crowds by storm. Tickets are $40.25. For more information, go to www.mansionmiami.com.
See Flat
There's something swell about piano lounges. Just check out Miami's fabulous Magnum Lounge (709 NE 79th St.) and you'll get it with the first show tune. For a new piano lounge experience, check out The Flat (500 S. Pointe Dr., Miami Beach) from 8 p.m. every Wednesday, and you'll experience guest pianists, jazz singers and more, arranged by South Florida music director Randy Singer. On Wednesday, August 28, the headliner is Big Brooklyn Red. Music genres may be different, but they all have a common goal: to sound anything but the name of the venue in which they are performing.
Painting the Town
As much as we love Instagram, it's time to put the phones down and actually interact with people in the flesh armed with social graces and, yep, a paint brush. Paint Nite has found its way into the Miami market, billi--er, painting itself as "a fun and creative way for people to drink, paint and socialize with others in the comfort of their favorite local bar or restaurant." "Miami has some of the most talented artists in the country and an amazing bar scene, the ideal combination for great Paint Nites," said co-founder Dan Hermann. So what happens? A professional artist will provide instruction and, depending on how much you've imbibed, you either follow or stray. Either way, it's fun. Paint Night events are taking place at 7 p.m. August 26 at Balans at the UM Life Science and Technology Park, 1951 NW 7th Ave., at 7 p.m. that same night at Fado Irish Pub in Mary Brickell Village, at 7 p.m. on August 27 at Baru Urbano in Brickell and at 7 p.m. on August 28 at Baru Urbano Doral. For tickets and more information, go to www.paintnite.com.
Ladies' Night
Not all Ladies' Nights are as cheesy as A Night at The Roxbury. In fact, it's quite the opposite over at hipster haven Wood Tavern (2531 NW 2nd Ave.) where, from 8 p.m. until midnight every Wednesday, the fairer sex receive free well drinks. As for those chasing the fairer sex, well, we can't promise they're all dairy free.
Hitting a Nerve
There are art films and then there are art films. At 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23, MOCA (770 NE 125th St., North Miami) presents its annual Optic Nerve festival featuring short films by an impressive list of artists from around the world. Prior to the screening, there's some cocktail conversation hosted by Aram Moshayedi, Optic Nerve juror and curator at the Hammer Museum in LA. Following the talk will be two screenings, one at 8 and then again at 9. In between will be an Artist Reception with St. Germain cocktails and music by DJ Danny Clapp. Space is limited and free with museum admission ($5 adults, $3 students and seniors and free for members and residents of North Miami.) Optic Nerve 15 will also play continuously during museum hours on Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25.

Mancene Assistant ExaminerJ. Q. Lever Attorney, Agent, or Firm-Laurence, Laurence & Neilan 7] ABSTRACT I A fly fishing leader having a loop at the tippet end of the butt section on which different diameter tippet sections can be tied.
10 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures FISHING LEADER This invention relates to an improved fly fishing leader. This invention further relates to an improved fly fishing leader having a loop at the forward end of the butt section upon which can be tied various diameter tippet sections.
'A leader used in fly fishing has. many functions including the transmission of energy, inparted by the fishing line, to the fly; permitting the fly to drop more gently on the water than is possible if the fly was attached to the fishing line; and being less visible and therefore less distracting to the fish than would be a fishing line.
Commercially available leaders are usually tapered and may be either knotless or have several sections joined together. The diameter of the leader decreases from the diameter appropriate for the diameter of the fishing line to a diameter at the tippet section which is appropriate for the fly being used. The diameter of the leader butt is usually approximately two-thirds to threefourths the diameter of the line tip.
For leaders composed of several sections, the tapering effect is accomplished by the tying together of several sections, each section having a progressively smaller diameter. In order to obtain a secure knot between each adjacent section the diameters of the two sections should not exceed a difference of about 0.003 inches. This places a severe limitation on which section can be joined and also requires a great number of sections if the diameters of the fishing line and the desired tippet section is greatly different.
Sections having greater differences (greater than about 0.003 inches) may be joined using specialized knots, which are clumsey to use and not universally known especially to the .amateur fisherman.
When a sportsman, utilizing a knotted leader wishes to change the fly which he is using, he must in many cases, cut off the tippet section and attach a new tippet section. If the new tippet has a diameter difference which is greater than about 0.003 inches, he must either add or subtract sections as required. Even if no addition or removal of sections is required, the cutting of the tippet section and, through necessity the accompaning knot, shortens the previous section. Eventually this section must also be replaced and eventually the entire leader.
For a knotless" leader, the leader is tapered from the diameter of the fishing line to the diameter of the tippet section required for attachment of the desired fly. The changing of a fly with this type of leader requires the changing of the entire leader or guessing at which point the leader must be cut in order to add a new tippet section. The leader is thus no longer a knotless" leader. Neither of the above courses of action is desirable.
It has now been found that by the formation of a loop at the end of the butt section, various diameter tippet sections can be attached to the loop thus forming an easily interchangeable leader which meets the requirements of a good leader and efficiently transmits the required energy from the fishing line to the fly. This arrangement permits the use of tippet sections having a diameter greater or less than the diameter of the leader at the loop area. The utilization of such a wide range of diameters is contrary, as will be discussed, to the theory and practice presently prevailing in the industry.
It is thus an object of this invention to overcome the disadvantages enumerated above.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved leader consisting of two sections a butt section and a tippet section.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved leader in which the butt section will support a range of tippet diameters both larger and smaller than the diameter of the butt section at the tippet end.
A further object of this invention is to provide an improved leader in which the tippet section can be changed without shortening the butt section.
A still further object of this invention is to provide an improved leader in which the same simple knot can be utilized to attach the tippet section to the loop as well as the fly to the end tippet section.
A still further object of this invention is to provide an improved leader having a loop at the tippet end of the butt section to which tippets are tied.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the following description and drawings.
FIG. 1 is a drawing of the leader of this invention showing the spatial relationship of the butt section, the loop and the tippet section. The diameter of the sections are not drawn to scale.
FIG. 2 is an embodiment of this invention showing means for attachment to a fishing line.
In FIG. 1 the butt end of the leader 1 is tapered from the free end to the loop section 2. The tippet section 3, is attached to the loop by a knot 5 thus making possible the freeing of the tippet section without any damage or shortening of the butt section or loop.
As was discussed previously one of the functions of a leader is to efficiently transmit the energy from the fishing line to the fly. The fly itself is generally incapable, because of its size and weight to impart the necessary energy to a line for a cast. The required energy must therefore be transmitted from the rod through the line to the leader. The commonly accepted theory, prior to now, was that the leader must be tapered or level in order to properly and efficiently transmit this energy. As a consequence there could not be any alternation or "reversal in the diameter of the leader sections i.e., if the butt section was tapered the tippet section must continue the taper. Its diameter could not be increased over the diameter of the forward end of the butt section.
With the present invention, this no longer is necessary since the diameter of the tippet section may be either larger or smaller than the forward end of the butt section.
Another distinct advantage of utilizing the leaders of the present invention is that it permits the use of a butt section which may be balanced for the rod and fishing line being used by the sportsman. The weight, or lack of weight, of the tippet section would be insufficient to unbalance the unit since the butt section is the portion which has the balanced weight. Having a balance unit would mean that the fishing line and leader is of the proper weight for the rod and thus ensures the maximum and efficient transmission of the energy from the rod to the fly. This also means that a sportsman need attach only one leader butt section to his line, a leader butt section which is balanced for the line, and then he can just change the tippet section throughout the season.
Utilizing the present invention, a sportsman may use a level section as the tippet section. As the sportsman interchanges flies a small section of the tippet section is detached with the fly being replaced. Eventually the length of the tippet section becomes too small and must be replaced. With a level tippet section the sportsman knows the diameter of the line throughout the entire length of the tippet section. Also since the diameter of the tippet section may be dependant on the fly size and not necessarily on the butt section diameter it means that the taper of the tippet section is not required and all the sportsman need have is a spool of the proper diameter tippet material from which he can cut off lengths as required.
The diameter of the loop at the end of the butt section should preferably be as small as possible while still being sufficiently large to conveniently tie the tippet section to the loop. An inside diameter in the range of about 0.005 to 0.015 inches should be sufficient for most types of fishing. This permits the use of a tippet section of a diameter in the range of about 0.005 to 0.015 inches. Other loop diameters, outside this range, can also be utilized if needed for specific occasions, but would not be required for the majority types of fishing.
Leaders are normally and preferably monofllament prepared from nylon, dacron, silk or other suitable material. The core of the monofilament leader is preferably nylon.
The leader may also be multifilamentous, of the same material as the monofilament leader. A multifilament line, because of its method of manufacture, has usually a larger diameter than a monofilament line. Multifilamentous lines, if used, therefore are utilized mainly for the butt section of the leader and seldom for the tippet section. In the specification and claims multifilamentous will, for convenience. refer to both monofilament and multifilament cores.
Leaders are preferably coated and normally tapered. The coating and tapering process is by conventional means.
The surface coating may be any of the conventional coating known to those skilled in the art and may be applied directly to the line core or over an intermediate primer.
Suitable primers should be compatible with the plastisol used as the outer coating and preferably relatively non-viscous. This includes, but is not limited to, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers in methyl ethyl or methyl isobutyl ketone.
In coating a line, the primer is applied to the line and the solvent evaporated, and then the surface coating plastisol applied and cured.
The polymeric component of the plastisol may be vinyl chloride or vinyl chloride copolymer. This component is generally mixed with one or more plasticizers and a stabilizer.
Stabilizers which may be utilized include, but are not limited to, lead, zinc and cadmium soaps, epoxides and the like. Stabilizers are usually added to remove any hydrogen chloride which may be formed and which. if not removed. will deteriorate the surface coating.
Plasticizers for vinyl chloride polymers and copolymers include di-octyl adipate, di-Z-ethylhexyl phthalate, dicapryl phthalate, tricresyl phosphate and trioctyl phosphate. The plasticizer concentration in a plastisol is usually in the range of about 30 to 70 parts by weight 4 of plasticizer per 100 parts by weight of the polymeric component.
Curing of the plastisol is usually by a heat treatment in the range of about 350 to 380F.
A typical surface coating plastisol formulation, in parts by weight, is as follows:
polyvinyl chloride (Geon l2l) I00 dioctyl adipatc 53 cpoxidized tall oil (Flcxol EPR) 10 lead soap 7 3 In applying the coating, the line is passed through a bath containing the plastisol at a rate which will ensure the adherence to the line of the approximate thickness of coating desired. The line is then passed through an orifice or between grooved wheels which removes the excess coating and, by a changing of orifice diameter or by a rotation of the grooved wheel. tapers the line as required. For a level line the orifice diameter remains constant and only the excess coating is removed. The coated line is then heat treated to cure the plastisol.
Another embodiment of this invention is illustrated by FIG. 2 which combines the leader with a means for attaching the leader to the fishing line.
The nail knot which is fully described in copending application Ser. No. 163,357 filed July 16, 1971 by Leon L. Martuch and Donald L. Schmidt now U.S. Pat. No. 3,738,692 provides a convenient means for attaching the leader to the line. Prior to my co-pending application it was not possible to obtain a stable pre-tied, un tightened nail knot. In my co-pending application it is described how the application of a surface coating or a shrink tubing to the loops and between the loops in the surface area or an internal support, which extends through the center of the knot would cause the loops to retain their uprighf configuration and prevent collapse of the knot. This knot is shown as element 4, in FIG. 2, of the present invention.
Surface coatings for the nail knot should be sufficiently rigid to support the loops in relation to each other and to retain the loop configuration. The surface coating should, at the same time, be sufficiently fragile to crumble, break apart or separate from the loops when the knot is tightened. Examples of surface coatings include waxes, inorganic plastics and cements and thermoplastic resins.
The nail knot is wound on an internal support and then coated. After curing of the coating the internal support is removed.
Internal supports for a nail knot may be rigid (must be removed prior to tightening knot) or flexible (may or may not be retained when knot is tightened).
Suitable materials for internal supports include polyethylenes, polyvinyl chlorides, aluminum or steel. This attachment means provides a strong junction between line and leader. which is easily made by both amateur and experienced fishermen. This means of attachment is such that no hindrance (loss) of energy occurs between the fishing line and the leader. Since the leader of this invention is also an excellent transmitter of energy, the necessary energy is imparted to the fly.
From the above discussion, it is apparent that the loop may also appear at the butt end of the tippet section and the tippet might be attached to the butt section by tying the butt section through the loop. This alternative is impractical and does not have the advantages of the present invention. Each tippet section that is used would have to have a loop instead of just one loop on the tippet end of the butt section of the leader. In changing tippet sections, the knot on the leader must also be cut thus shortening the leader. This in effect is what happens with the presently available knotted leaders. This modification offers none of the advantages shown by the present invention.
While the illustrative embodiments of the invention have been described hereinbefore with particularity, it will be understood that various other modifications will be apparent to and can readily be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Accordingly, it is not intended that the scope of the claims appended hereto be limited to the examples and description set forth herein but rather the claims be construed as encompassing all the features of patentable novelty which reside in the present invention including all features which would be treated as equivalents thereof by those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains.
I claim:
1. Apparatus comprising a fly fishing line leader having a butt section and a tippet section, a loop formed at one end of said butt section, said tippet section having one end extending through said loop, and a knot at said one end of said tippet section securing said tippet section to said loop, whereby said tippet section can be removed and replaced without reducing the length of said butt section.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said leader has a multifilamentous core.
3. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which said loop has an inside diameter of about 0.005 to 0.0015 inches.
4. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said leader comprises a nylon core within a synthetic resin coating.
5. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said butt section progressively decreases in diameter toward said loop.
6. Apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said tippet section has a substantially uniform diameter.
7. Apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a fly fishing line secured to the other end of said butt section.
8. Apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising securing means on said butt section for securing said fly fishing line to said butt section.
9. Apparatus according to claim 8 wherein said securing means comprise a pretied nail knot positioned on said butt section adjacent said other end thereof.
10. Apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the inner diameter of said loop is of a size to enable said tippet section to freely pass through said loop when being secured thereto.

Good evening! I found your screenplay to be a fun read, and I thought it had a number of things going for it. But... and I have to imagine I'm not the first to bring it up... I was very much put off by the too pat resolution. And though I'm by no means pro-War, I wasn't thrilled with your treatment of this theme. More on that later:
Concept: I liked it plenty, the idea of children of mounting a (non deadly) attack to protest war. And I like the idea of a creature made of disparate pieces of scrap metal coming to life. I ultimately didn't really picture it as animated though. Even with the attack on the end, there doesn't seem to be enough to justify it as anything but live action.
Characters: I thought you were highly successful with Ella. She was this appealing and spunky character who was overall more resourceful and clever than the rest of the boys. I really liked how keen she was to be included but how well she took it in stride when she wasn't. Billy and Jack were solid as well, and Billy's increasing fanaticism and Jack's apprehension, and the tension that grew between them, was handled well. And I really like the idea behind Stix, that he is the embodiment of all the soldiers who have died. I'll admit to being somewhat overwhelmed by the cast though, to the point where I mainly had to zero in and actively identify with the core characters only. It seemed like there was a lot of people who were around only to participate in the final battle.
Dialogue: Also pretty good. A minimum of awkward exposition, and quite a bit of charm in some moments, particularly the initial GHQ scene.
Story/Structure: This is where I ran into problems...
First of all, I am a firm believer in the idea that you can introduce somewhat mature themes into a movie targeted at children. And I believe that overall, they'll respond far more to a story that does not talk down to them. You seem to have the same mindset, considering the movie is about war and the possibility of losing one's parents. But I feel like you incorporate those themes, and then oversimplified them. I wish there was no such thing as war, and I realize from the perspective of these characters, it all seems so senseless. But there are certain realities that you don't address, and it seems too easy to flash forward to (or cut to a dream of) Billy as Prime Minister, having found a "better way." How exactly did Billy find a solution for World Peace?
Second, the "It was all a dream" thing. I don't necessarily have a blanket negative reaction to this kind of ending. They can work if they're thematically significant, if they influence the character in some profound ways. I saw that in the script, Billy had the realization in the scene with the Prime Minister that violence just brings about more violence. Great, but if the solution for what he could do different was in there as well, I completely missed it. And I don't know if it was enough to make up for you essentially taking away everything that happened to every other character in the course of the movie, not to mention the all-to-easy return of Billy's dad, alive and well.
Again, that did take away a lot of what had come before. It might work anyway for a lot of others, maybe they have problems too. But whatever you do with "Children of the Revolution," I think you've got some good material to work with. Best of luck!

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My children love their school. The teachers handle my two very different children with care and discipline that works really well for them. The size of the classrooms are wonderful which gives the teachers the time to work with my child and give her/him the attention that they need. My children are learning self control and how to learn the daily tasks of life. i wish my oldest child attended casa ninos when he was a toddler, it would really help with his self discipline now. the one negative about the school is that there are vacation days/weeks that are similar to a public school schedule. It is a challenge to schedule this when all my family works full time. Casa Ninos has started to included "camps" during these vacation times which is so helpful to a working mom.
We have one child in the toddler program and one in the pre-primary (kindergarten) class. They have attended Casa Ninos for one year. In that time they have both exceeded our hopes and expectations academically. They also show growth in personal areas such as taking responsibility for themselves and helping others. Classes are small, making it easier for the teachers to understand and work with each child to help them overcome difficulties and to grow as individuals.
My son just started their toddler program and I have been very impressed with the school as a whole. The toddlers have a big room and right now there are 14 children and 4 women. That is less then 4 to 1. They do plan to add more children but that is a great ratio for starting the school year. The teachers, assistants and the front office staff are warm and attentive to my child. They got to know him as an individual almost immediately.

Hey there and welcome to a new series we're putting on the blog: The Best Stuff on the Web. In this series, we'll cover the best websites, design concepts, development trickery, and other fun bits we've seen across the web. It's worth noting the things we'll discuss are not OHO's own work, but rather the stuff we've seen that makes us proud we work on the web. You'll see a number of posts like this for the conceivable future, but this is our inaugural post so let's get things started.
So what are we discussing this week? Parallax Scrolling.
If you're like us, you've probably come across a webpage that seemed inordinantly tall, right? No, I am not talking about a lazy loading infinite scroll site like Facebook's news feed. I'm talking about a page that, as you scroll, loads different animations and content changes that are tied to the scroll. Like a zoetrope laid out vertically. With us? Good.
Well that's parallax scrolling. With its roots in video game background animations, parallax scrolling uses just HTML and CSS (no Flash - hooray!) to create a sense of depth to the content. It's a simple concept in theory, sure, but whoever first thought of it as a way of inspiring the user to interact with the page contents without forcing the masses to use an ages-old plugin is bloody brilliant.
Here are a few parallax scrolling sites that just blow our minds (don't forget to scroll!):
The Volkswagen Beetle for Germany
A highly clickable, nostalgically-driven lookbook at the newly redesigned Beetle that does everything a car model lookbook does but better? We know what our next car is going to be...
The noir inspired visuals and wonderful color pallate are enough to draw us in, but the best part is as Ben casually walks his crime-riddled streets, a grimy, Bensky-tagged subway passing overhead and heinous acts happening all around him, you can't help but wonder: "am I playing Grand Theft Auto?" Talk about immersive.
So what if the Galaxy S 3 is newer, sleeker, and probably better? The microsite for the S 3 pales in comparison with this stunner for the S II. The visuals are bigger than life, the elements have that slow rise that reminds us of Willy Wonka's fizzy lifting drink, and you really can't leave this page feeling uninformed. A win.
Another win for the "parallax sites are beautiful" category. We don't love the nail-biting experience of "maybe this link will open here, maybe it'll take me off-site" provided here, but the lush visuals and "holy crap how'd they get so big?!" YouTube embeds are stunning. Don't forget to click the menu buttons along the bottom (an incongruous place, but we like it) to see that it's not just the landing page: nearly the whole freaking site is parallax!
Other Examples
These sites have some great other examples of parallax sites that we don't have the space to cover but are worth checking out:
- http://webdesignledger.com/inspiration/21-examples-of-parallax-scrolling...
- http://slodive.com/inspiration/showcase/parallax-scrolling/
- http://css-tricks.com/fancy-scrolling-sites/
As you can imagine, there are tons and tons of parallax sites across the web (as this design concept is gaining momentum rapidly) so we're sure to have missed a few good ones. Think we missed a parallax scrolling site that's worth an honorary mention or think parallax scrolling is yesterday's news? We want to hear about it!

A lot of companies want to put music in places where you didn't previously have it. Altec Lansing is the latest to release a Wi-Fi speaker, the LIVE 5000.
This all-in-one speaker can stream music from a personal music library in the house, as well as content from the cloud. Altec Lansing has designed the device to be used as a stand-alone item, or you can group many of the speakers throughout the house for a larger system.
Whether it's used for one or more rooms, there are also multiple control options. Altec Lansing says that the unit is compatible with iOS portables, as well as Android devices and even the computer. The free Altec Lansing LIVE Controller app will allow users to browse local and online media sources, as well as manage online accounts.
The LIVE 5000 is also social, allowing multiple users to access music queues, control what's playing and share that information with everyone that's connected. So dad can start listening to jazz, mom can add a few pop songs to the playlist, and junior can cap it off with something from his budding rap collection.
On the inside, the LIVE 5000 has a tri-amp system, two 3-inch mid-range Kevlar drivers, neodymium soft-dome tweeters, and a long-throw 4-inch subwoofer and passive radiator.
Altec Lansing says that the LIVE 5000 Wi-Fi speaker will start selling this summer for $499.95.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Snow Tha Product - Cali Luv
Artist: Snow Tha Product
Producer: The Cataracs, co-prod. Borgeous
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 15 votes )
With a name like Snow Tha Product, you might think she hails from Alaska or Colorado, but as her new single suggests she is all about the West Coast. And as you might imagine with a song entitled, Cali Luv, Tupac's California Love is chopped up by the The Cataracs and given an EDM makeover. While the frenzied, high-octane beat might scare off your average emcee Snow fully embraces the track. She matches the beats pace with a blistering flow of her own, which she uses to display her love for California and its no-stop party scene. This is Snow's first appearance of 2013, following last year's Good Nights & Bad Mornings. Lets hope that there are more summer party anthems from the Atlantic Records emcee in the near future.

Hi Patrick
I saw you message to Anthony, and thought I'd reply.
Anthony's Patrick Heslin was b. 1848/9, his brother, and my gr.grandfather, Thomas was born 1843. A third brother John, was born in Longford on Oct., 23, 1850.
Since my Thomas was born just prior to the famine, he survived. Few children were born between 1847-9, and ever fewer than those who were born survived.
Does this look promising? Any Thomas' in your line? Other common names are Rosanna, Aloyusius, Margaret, Catherine, James, Charles.

Article in the Washington Post Style Section proclaims the new St. Louis Public Library Central Branch "a marvel".
Washington Post Book Reviewer Ron Charles says "Bibliophiles, take note: There's a spectacular new page on your tour of America's great book sites: The reopened public library in downtown St. Louis.
The library closed almost three years ago for a $70-million renovation. The results of that work are now open to the public, and the 190,000-square-foot building is the most gorgeous — and usable — library I have ever seen."
SWANSEA, Mass. - An outpouring of support for Penny the cat, the unofficial mascot of the Swansea Public Library, has led a Massachusetts man to give up his efforts to evict the cat from the public building.
Patrick Higgins sent an email to Swansea Public Library trustees last Saturday, which said he would file a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice if Penny was not removed from the premises. According to Higgins, people allergic to cats would be unable to use the library which meant the public building did not comply with the American Disabilities Act.
As news of Penny's potential eviction spread, supporters for the neighborhood cat began to rally creating petitions to keep the Penny on the premises. One petition on Change.org has elicited nearly 1,800 signatures.
Via MediaBistro GalleyCat: A Chicago Public Library patron wrote a book about his relationship and proposed in the library last weekend. As you can see by the lovely photograph in the story, she said yes.
Where in the library would you get engaged? Here's more about the library marriage proposal, the most romantic use of the stacks we've ever seen.
Jason and Molly both love books and libraries. So Jason decided the library was the perfect place to pop the question… after he wrote a story about how they met, had it illustrated and bound into a book, and then placed on the shelves in the Thomas Hughes Children's Library. He and Molly "found" the book on Saturday and we are happy to report she said YES! Congratulations to you both – we wish you a long, happy, and book-filled life together!
A 20-year-old Racine, WI man who's accused of engaging in lewd behavior in a library has been banned from "all the libraries on the face of the earth."
Best Headline EVER!
[Thanks Marge!]
Getting a glimpse into the curious minds of others has never been so beautiful – or so bright.
Designers Brian W. Brush and Yong Ju Lee of E/B Office New York created an extensive fiber-optic installation for the Teton County Library grand opening in Wyoming that visualizes library searches in flashes of colored light. Dubbed Filament Mind, the installation, which opened at the end of January, uses over five miles of fiber-optic cables and 44 LED illuminators to collect, categorize, and render searches from libraries all across the state of Wyoming into glowing bursts of color.

Mini-libraries are letting storm-shattered neighborhoods turn the page on Hurricane Sandy.
Bright orange boxes filled with up to 100 books have popped up outside flooded branches that remain closed in Coney Island, Gerritsen Beach, and Red Hook — and users of the free literature exchanges don't have to worry about late fees or that pesky Dewey Decimal System!
As austerity measures go, rationing toilet paper sounds pretty austere.
They're trying it at the public library in Trenton, the New Jersey capital, after repeated incidents of vandalism and theft from the restrooms. Individually sized allotments of toilet paper and other personal hygiene items are available by request only, CBS New York reports.
Library administrators across the state are holding emergency meetings and hoping for the best after the Supreme Court ruled last week that a law forcing the Kanawha County Board of Education to fund its public library is unconstitutional.
"I think we're all making plans for the worst-case scenario because right now, that's the fiscally responsible thing to do," said Pam Coyle, director of the Martinsburg-Berkeley Public Library.
West Virginia could have saved almost $8 million had the scope of the purchase been scaled to the requirements of the state's libraries, schools and state police, the report states. Smaller, less expensive routers could have been used in the state's 172 libraries, resulting in a savings of $2.8 million; in state police facilities, for a savings of $1 million to $1.4 million; and in 368 schools with enrollments of less than 500, for a savings of $3.68 million.
The La Crosse Public Library in La Crosse, WI has just launched an heirloom seed library that will allow people to check out garden seeds to plant, grow, harvest and return to the library. "We are going to catalog them by genus and species eventually and have a catalog in a public area but that will be the second step. It's not hard to do but we need people that are committed to come in today and check out the seeds and come back and get them," said La Crosse Public Library Librarian Cindy Mischnick. The starter seeds are being provided by Seed Savers of Decorah, IA, the third largest heirloom seed repository in the world. The seed library is the first of its kind in Wisconsin.

Casey Anthony Video Deemed "Too Inflammatory" For Trial May Soon Be Releasedby Free Britney at . Comments
A judge is considering whether to unseal a video of Casey Anthony considered so inflammatory that it would have infringed upon her right to a fair trial.
The jailhouse video shows Anthony reacting to news reports that a child's body had been found in a swampy area near the family's Florida property.
The tape reportedly shows Casey doubled over and hyperventilating when Orange County jail officials reveal that a body was found near the home.
Too inflammatory to be played for a jury? What the heck is on that tape? It's not like the videos that were played (such as below) were flattering ...
At the time of the December 11, 2008 video, the body was not yet identified as the remains of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.
The court took what is called an "unusual step" and sealed the video on June 17, 2009 claiming the public seeing it would violate Casey's rights.
The court "could not absolutely protect the defendant's right to a fair trial" if the "inflammatory" tape got out, according to the order to seal it.
Casey Anthony was found not guilty last week of charges of killing Caylee and is now scheduled to be released from jail this Sunday night.Regarding the video and whether it will be released now, Orlando television station WKMG-TV Local 6 filed the request to unseal the tape.
WKMG-TV made the request July 6, arguing "that with the jury is sequestered, no prejudice to the defendant's right to a fair trial could incur."
While other pieces of evidence could be seen as damaging, the court said "no other item ... would carry a similar inflammatory impact."
If released, the tape could spark more outrage surrounding the verdict. Casey Anthony death threats have been common in recent days.
In the past week, the jury, Anthony family and Judge Belvin Perry have received threats regarding the case in addition to Casey herself.
Anthony's highly-anticipated release from jail on Sunday has already prompted concerns for her safety and calls for extra protection.
HG posted this video while the trial was still going on, I remember watching it before, I'm sure if you go back a few weeks in articles you'll find it.. never before released though? lol.
I look at her and want to hurt her! She clearly cries for herself and not her daughter... not a single tear was shed for that beautiful little girl! A jury may not have found her guilty, but she is yet to step into the only court that matters... God's court,rest assured, she WILL pay!
A ravenous, insatiable public cannot get enough of cutie Casey Anthony. If she were not so beautiful, who would care?

Dealing with livestock losses
The South Dakota Department of Agriculture reminds producers who have lost livestock during the recent blizzard to document losses. Proper documentation is critical to ensure processing of potential claims.
"This early season, record setting blizzard is devastating to our producers and our thoughts are with them," said Secretary of Agriculture Lucas Lentsch. "We are working to coordinate with ag industry stakeholders to establish and execute a response plan."
SDDA is working closely with the Office of Emergency Management, Animal Industry Board, Brand Board and Governor's Office on recovery efforts.
Documentation of
livestock losses
Documentation of livestock losses is critical. Documentation will help emergency authorities understand the scope of the impact of this storm and help you as producers to file claims and receive potential compensation for losses.
Producers should document all livestock losses with pictures of carcasses, vaccination and hauling receipts and records, or any other records such as tags, Bangs clips, etc.
Third-party verification of losses is recommended and can be a simple piece of paper explaining the facts and signed. This can come from a veterinarian, a local law enforcement official or even an arms-length third party such as a neighbor or pastor. Family members or hired employees are not considered third-party.
If you have questions regarding livestock identification, contact the South Dakota Brand Board at 605-773-3324.
Disposal and identification of livestock carcasses
The South Dakota Animal Industry Board will be coordinating disposal of livestock carcasses. Brand Board inspectors will be involved in identifying livestock and livestock carcasses and will document these losses and ownership. Call the Animal Industry Board at 605-773-3321.
For carcass disposal information, contact the AIB at 605-773-3321. Disposal guidelines are available at http://aib.sd.gov/pdf/Carcass%20Disposal%20Guidelines%202011.pdf.
A large-scale effort to gather carcasses from the roadways has begun. Contact your county emergency management or the Animal Industry Board for details or to report livestock for removal.
Help document the loss of livestock found on your property that don't belong to you before disposing of those carcasses with photographs or by calling Emergency Management or a brand inspector.
Human stress and mental health
Don't forget to take care of yourself and your family members.
Self-worth is not tied to net worth. These tragic losses are not your fault and don't reflect on your capabilities as a rancher or as a person.
Individuals experiencing disaster-related stress should contact a local community health provider or call Youth and Family Services in Rapid City at 605-342-4195 or 605-342-4870. Information is also available at http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealthservices/community/outpatientservices.asp.
Reporting loss of livestock
Reporting losses will help us manage the situation across the state but also help us to identify livestock ownership of animals that strayed in the storm.
Affected producers should contact their local county emergency manager: Bennett County—Jeff Siscoe, 605-685-5994; Butte County—Martha Wierzbicki, 605-569-2766; Corson County—Brad Schell, 605-273-4481; Custer County—Mike Carter, 605-673-8152; Fall River County—Frank Maynard, 605-745-7562; Haakon County—Lola Roseth, 605-567-3515; Harding County—Kathy Glines, 605-375-3313; Jackson County—Jackie Stilwell, 605-488-0334; Jones County—Angie Kinsley, 605-669-7101; Lawrence County—Paul Thomson, 605-578-2122; Meade County—Angella Sutton, 605-347-7623; Mellette County—Karen O'Brien, 605-259-3371; Pennington County—Dustin Willett, 605-394-2185; Perkins County—Kelly Serr, 605-224-5243; Shannon County—Frank Maynard, 605-745-7562; Todd County—Kara Walking, 605-429-3246; and Ziebach County—Mike Burgee, 605-365-5129.
