The Nation's 911 System
9-1-1 service is a vital part of our nation's emergency response and disaster preparedness system. In October 1999, the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 (9-1-1 Act) took effect with the purpose of improving public safety by encouraging and facilitating the prompt deployment of a nationwide, seamless communications infrastructure for emergency services. One provision of the 9-1-1 Act directs the FCC to make 9-1-1 the universal emergency number for all telephone services.
The FCC has taken a number of steps to increase public safety by encouraging and coordinating development of a nationwide, seamless communications system for emergency services. The FCC has designed and established transition periods to bring the nation's communications infrastructure into compliance.
In order to deliver emergency help more quickly and effectively, the carriers and public safety entities are upgrading the 9-1-1 network on a regular basis. For example, most 9-1-1 systems now automatically report the telephone number and location of 9-1-1 calls made from wireline phones, a capability called Enhanced 9-1-1, or E9-1-1.
The FCC also requires wireless telephone carriers to provide 9-1-1 and E9-1-1 capability, where a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) requests it. Once it is implemented fully, wireless E9-1-1 will provide an accurate location for 9-1-1 calls from wireless phones.
Other FCC rules regulate 9-1-1 for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), mobile satellite services, telematics, and Text Telephone Devices (TTYs). The 9-1-1 requirements are an important part of FCC programs to apply modern communications technologies to public safety.
9-1-1 History
The Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 (911 Act) took effect on October 26, 1999. The purpose of the 911 Act is to improve public safety by encouraging and facilitating the prompt deployment of a nationwide, seamless communications infrastructure for emergency services.
One provision of the 911 Act directs the FCC to make 911 the universal emergency number for all telephone services. Where other emergency numbers had been used, the FCC was directed to establish appropriate transition periods for areas in which 911 was not in use as an emergency telephone number.
State and local authorities continue to expand 911 coverage and upgrade 911 services. Although there may be some counties that still do not have basic 911 services, wireless carriers can deliver 911 calls to the appropriate local emergency authority.
Based on these reports, virtually all carriers now use 911 as the universal emergency number and route 911 calls to an appropriate PSAP. However, emergency services through a PSAP may not be available in all localities.
9-1-1 Master Public Safety Answering Point Registry
In December 2003, the FCC began collecting data to build a registry of public safety answering points (PSAPs). A primary PSAP is defined as a PSAP to which 9-1-1 calls are routed directly from the 9-1-1 Control Office, such as, a selective router or 9-1-1 tandem. A secondary PSAP is defined as a PSAP to which 9-1-1 calls are transferred from a primary PSAP. The PSAP database serves as a tool to aid the Commission in evaluating the state of PSAP readiness and E9-1-1 deployment.
Download the FCC Master PSAP Registry File (xls)
Last updated: December 05, 2014
The Registry lists PSAPs by an FCC assigned identification number, PSAP Name, State, County, City, and provides information on any type of record change and the reason for updating the record. The Commission updates the Registry periodically as it receives additional information. For further information concerning the FCC's Master PSAP Registry and carrier reporting requirements, or to notify the Commission of changes to the PSAP Registry, contact Timothy May at email@example.com or at (202) 418-1463.
Enhanced 9-1-1 - Wireless Services
The FCC's wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) rules seek to improve the effectiveness and reliability of wireless 9-1-1 services by providing 9-1-1 dispatchers with additional information on wireless 9-1-1 calls. The FCC's wireless E9-1-1 rules apply to all wireless licensees, broadband Personal Communications Service (PCS) licensees, and certain Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) licensees.
The FCC has divided its wireless E9-1-1 program into two parts - Phase I and Phase II. Under Phase I, the FCC requires carriers, within six months of a valid request by a local Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), to provide the PSAP with the telephone number of the originator of a wireless 9-1-1 call and the location of the cell site or base station transmitting the call.
Under Phase II, the FCC requires wireless carriers, within six months of a valid request by a PSAP, to begin providing information that is more precise to PSAPs, specifically, the latitude and longitude of the caller. This information must meet FCC accuracy standards, generally to within 50 to 300 meters, depending on the type of technology used. The deployment of E9-1-1 requires the development of new technologies and upgrades to local 9-1-1 PSAPs, as well as coordination among public safety agencies, wireless carriers, technology vendors, equipment manufacturers, and local wireline carriers.
Consumer Information
The official emergency number in the United States and Canada is 9-1-1. Although the first 9-1-1 call was placed in Haleyville, Alabama in 1968, it was not until 1999 that the United States Congress directed the FCC to make 9-1-1 the universal emergency number in the United States for all telephone services. The 9-1-1 network is now a vital part of our nation's emergency response and disaster preparedness system. Emergency personnel and others often learn about emergencies through 9-1-1 calls. Dialing 9-1-1 quickly connects a caller to a nearby Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) dispatcher who is trained to route your call to local emergency medical, fire, and law enforcement agencies.
9-1-1 lines are designated for emergency calls, such as reporting a crime in progress, reporting a fire, or requesting an ambulance.
Using 9-1-1 for non-emergency calls may delay help for people caught in real emergencies. Some communities have designated the number 3-1-1 for non-emergency calls to police and other government services.

I have a question about the recipe "Chess pie" from Kayb.
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
I am not Kayb, and have never tasted chess pie. I looked up several recipes from different sources and chess pie as far as I can tell does not contain any milk or cream, It sounds almost like a pecan pie filling without the pecans of course. Sounds sweet and delicious.
Well played.

Well, in 15 minutes I'll be doing the Physics Exam. And certainly I don't know a thing!! What has happened? On Monday I knew my guy was coming back at night... I couldn't wait so I did something I shouldn't have... I got into his e-mail (I swear I just wanted to know if he had read an e-mail I sent him back on Saturday that he hadn't answered!!!) Whatever, I did found that he read my mail... but I also found that his beloved Sarah had written too; "Thank you for letting me meet you" or something like that. I couldn't help but read it... and shit... I found out that he had asked her to marry him................. ........... I felt like shit. She also said something about how good she felt, bullshit bullshit, and something about his gold cross..... he had given her his beloved-most-precious gold cross... gee... So, I finally realized that he truly loves her.... he's so in love with that woman... and I envy them both. I felt like the most stupid human being on earth... again I cried my ass off. So I had a very renewed strength to say: fuck off that bullshit. The End. Fin. It's over. I'm not playing this game anymore. So, that's life's irony. After a whole week of weird feelings about all this, after having sucha complex group of sickening feelings all at the same time, and when I finally felt so sure what to do with my life (read last entry!!) I concluded that our little sweet-sick-sexy game is finally over. I still feel dizzy about it, but I think I'm going to be all right.

I saw a very bright meteor this evening, at about 6:30pm. The sky was clear and it was dark, but with just a ghost of light left in the sky. At first, I thought I was seeing a firework, but I soon realised what it must be.
It was significantly brighter than Jupiter, but certainly did not light the sky or cast a shadow, and it appeared as a thin streak, coming down almost vertically and growing quickly in apparent size. It is hard to judge how large it became – still small but definitely an object and leaving sparks behind it. The whole thing lasted less than a second and just disappeared – no explosion or final flare up though it was becoming brighter until then. I was standing at the Brighton road, Vicarage Lane junction in Horley and the meteor seemed to be coming down over the building nearby so to my south-west, with the end of the trail slightly to the left (east) of the beginning. When I first noticed, it was high – perhaps 80 degrees or so in altitude and it was still at least 60 degrees when it disappeared. I suspect this all means it was relatively close, but impossible to tell. The map gives some idea of location:

Design I wanted to share with you all. I made these in 2010. Two layer cakes can be just as adorable as a three layer diaper cake. The giraffe rattle plush toy was just stuffed ( bottom legs) into the top layer, to make it appear as the toy was popping out of cake.. simple easy to do, you just use less diapers on top layer add shred to help support and hold the toy to stay in place, the booties were added and held in place by using glue dots.I started using shred back in 2005 on my diaper cakes because I also made gift baskets and was on many "gift basket" message boards & networks where gift basket ladies shared ideas.. one was using shred to help stable products.. a great lesson learned:)

Don't Miss the Boat! 2015 LSU Law Apprenticeship Week
Second- and third-year LSU Law students will have the opportunity to participate in Apprenticeship Week, January 5-9, 2015. During this week, master lawyers and judges will teach LSU Law upperclass students in small enrollment, hands-on mini-courses. Each mini-course will aim to provide students with focused, task-oriented training not generally available in law school courses and usually available only through actual practice experience.
The Verdict is In: Students Praise First Apprenticeship Week
If you ask LSU Law student Robert Hoke, he'll tell you that Apprenticeship Week is, "Definitely something that every student should experience." Hoke was one of over 130 LSU Law students who began the spring 2013 semester early to attend Apprenticeship Week, an innovative and unique new program of legal education at the Law Center. From January 6 through 10, the program provided students an opportunity to learn about the practical aspects of legal education in focused, task-oriented, small enrollment mini-courses.
Practically Speaking: Day One, LSU Law Apprenticeship Week
Check out how the first day of Apprenticeship Week went with a recap of the day's events.
First Apprenticeship Week Program Kicks Off
Jan. 6, 2014 — LSU Law kicked off its first Apprenticeship Week today, with over 130 students and 16 master lawyers and judges serving as faculty. The innovative program provides a unique opportunity for students to learn about the practical aspects of legal education in focused, task-oriented, small enrollment mini-courses.
Strong Showing for first Apprenticeship Week
More than 130 LSU Law 2Ls and 3Ls have submitted applications for the inaugural Apprenticeship Program, to be held on campus January 6 through 10, 2014. LSU Law Chancellor Jack M. Weiss sent a message to students congratulating them on their willingness to devote their pre-semester vacation time to the innovative program.
Don't Miss the Boat! Apprenticeship Week Application Meeting: September 30
An Application Meeting for LSU Law's Apprenticeship Week will be held Monday, September 30 at 12:40 p.m. in the McKernan Auditorium. Apprenticeship Week is an exciting new intersession program for upperclass students that will be held January 6-10, 2014.

After two years in the field in Japan documenting the lives of a snow monkey troop, producer and cinematographer Joe Pontecorvo compiled over 700 hours of footage. In this segment, learn about the post-production process, from video and sound editing, to color correction, to music composition.
Geoffrey was born at the ARA Project, a macaw conservation group in Central Costa Rica. His mother was an ex-pet and his father was poached from the wild. When his mother abandoned her eggs, Geoffrey had to be raised in an incubator. When Geoffrey is old enough, he will be released into the wild. Until then, he is being taught all the things that he will need to know to survive as a wild macaw.
Sand martins, migrating from South Africa, feed on mayflies along the river banks of Hungary. The insects provide an abundance of food for the large populations of birds nesting near the water. In this scene from EARTHFLIGHT: Europe, the birds swoop and catch the mayflies with impressive accuracy.
Basil was taken from the wild as a chick in Honduras in 1987. He was shipped to a quarantine station in Florida, probably with other chicks many of whom would not have survived. It s estimated that 70% of wild-caught parrots died before ever reaching the pet store. Basil survived the odds and finally landed in Massachusetts with a happy and loving family.
Cape gannets fly off the coast of South Africa in search of the great sardine run, the biggest fish migration in the world. The birds dive into the ocean to feast as dolphins, also on the hunt, help push the sardines toward the water's surface. It doesn't take long before bronze whaler sharks and bride whales join, too.
The Shannon is Ireland s greatest geographical landmark and the longest river. It is both a barrier and highway a silver ribbon holding back the rugged landscapes of the west from the gentler plains to the east. The Shannon passes through a huge palette of rural landscapes, where on little-known backwaters, Ireland s wild animals and plants still thrive as almost nowhere else.
In this scene from EARTHFLIGHT: North America, a flock of brown pelicans fly over the Pacific in search of fish. Juvenile brown pelicans, born in the warm waters of Baja California, follow their elders north, as they soar above a pod of breaching humpback whales.
The coywolf, a mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf, is a remarkable new hybrid carnivore that is taking over territories once roamed by wolves and slipping unnoticed into our cities. Its appearance is very recent within the last 90 years in evolutionary terms, a blip in time. Beginning in Canada but by no means ending there, the story of how it came to be is an extraordinary tale of how
Rise over Western Europe with cranes and geese, and see where birds gather by the millions to breed.
A growing number of scientists, conservationists and grass-roots environmentalists now regard beavers as overlooked tools when it comes to reversing the disastrous effects of global warming and worldwide water shortages. Using their skills as natural builders and brilliant hydro-engineers, beavers can transform and revive landscapes.
Follow a troop of snow monkeys in Japan to see how they prepare to face the world.
While survival during winter is never a guarantee for wild mule deer, those who endure the harsh months always return to their range. Joe Hutto is included in a profound moment of reunion among a mule deer herd, in particular the introduction of a young deer Molly and her twin to the their extended family. Touching the Wild airs Wednesday, April 16 at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings).

Christmas break
We'll be closing for a few days over Christmas. Open as normal up to and including Tues Dec 23, then closed until Fri Jan 2, when we'll open at 10am. Have a great holiday!
Our vision
Roll for the Soul is a not-for-profit bike café, workshop and bike shop for Bristol. Our vision is to be a focal point for cycling in the city, celebrating and supporting every wonderful aspect of our bike culture. But more than that, we aim to offer a city centre space where interesting things can happen. We think of it as a village hall in the middle of Bristol. We've got the space (and the coffee and cakes), you've got the ideas, so let's reclaim a bit of the city centre for things that'll make it a better place.
Roll for the Soul is for Bristol cyclists, by Bristol cyclists, but we also work hard to attract folks who've yet to discover the joy of two wheels so that we can show them what they're missing. We have a cafe and workshop side by side, so you can get a good feed, a quality coffee, and get your bike fixed up all at the same time. We also act as a hub for all things bike-related. So if you want space for your cycling group or club to meet, or you just want to find out what's going on in the world of pedal power, give us a shout. Find out more about Roll for the Soul.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Police say a crash involving a sedan and an 18-wheeler may be the result of distracted driving. According to investigators, the driver of a Ford Fusion was trying to turn from Saratoga onto Rodd Field Road, but he didn't notice an 18-wheeler headed right for him.
The large truck clipped the front end of the sedan, causing both to go off the road. Neither driver suffered serious injuries. The Ford is likely totalled.
The driver was ticketed for failing to yield the right of way.

Optimus Tactus, the next big keyboard idea from Art.Lebedev Studio
Here's the next forward-thinking keyboard idea from the Art.Lebedev Studio—this Optimus Tactus is a keyboard that has no keys. Along with its touchscreen substituting for physical keys comes flexibility, giving you choices of how big those graphic keys can be. When you're not typing, you can even substitute a video screen instead of the images of keys in front of you.
Not a real product yet, this is a design concept from Art.Lebedev, with no pricing or release date attached thus far. That might mean a long wait for such an innovative keyboard, if the company's Optimus Maximus keyboard is any indication. That one's been in the works for nearly two years, and is just now in the pre-order stage. We really like this design, but we're not holding our breath waiting for it to be available.

Winter Scene, Elbow River
Postcards from the Past, PC 799
It looks like winter might actually be here, for a while anyway. Over the years we have noticed a very distinct trend. When the weather first turns, we start to get a lot of questions at the reference desk about notable 'weather events' (as in, blizzards) throughout Calgary's history. It may be our way of convincing ourselves that, though this winter may be bad, it can always be worse. These questions always lead to the staff here reminiscing about our own blizzard memories. We all seem to have our favourite. Mine is the blizzard of 1975. I had a part-time job as a candy bar girl (yes, that was my job title) at the Palace Theatre. When the blizzard started, there was a very real possibility that we wouldn't be able to get home if we stayed at work, and the prospect of spending the night in the old theatre was not a welcoming one, so we all got to go home early.
I found a newspaper article, as I was going through the weather related clippings in the Local History Room here at the Central Library that showed a photo of the Palace Theatre behind metre high snow drifts. The clipping was from 1932 and the headline says it all "Anxiety felt for occupants of stranded vehicles while city estimates storm damage". Teams of unemployed men (it was the Depression) had been put to work clearing the snow. The paper pointed out that this was a pointless exercise as the shovellers could not keep up with the snowfall. So even back in 1932, they were complaining about the city's ploughing policy!
The winter that gets the most press, though is the Killing Winter of 1906/07. Cattle died by the thousands, unable to forage for grass beneath the ice and snow. People died and their bodies were not discovered until the spring. It was the final nail in the coffin of the old way of ranching. Many ranchers could not recover from their losses and the practice of turning out herds onto open range to fend for themselves for the winter was ended.
While our Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library does not include photographs of major blizzards, since they're not the best way to promote our beautiful city, it does include some lovely winter photographs of Calgary. I've included a couple of those, as a reminder that winter can be a great season here. As a colleague remarked when, exhausted after poring through the clippings of "winter weather events" I asked, "Why do we live here" – at least we don't get tsunamis.
Winter Scene in Memorial Park, Showing Central Library, 1955
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 07-17
I was looking for a suitable topic for a Thanksgiving entry and stumbled across this photograph of the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo taken on Thanksgiving Day 1963 by Alison Jackson.
Alison Jackson's photographs make up one of the collections in our Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library. Miss Jackson was a librarian with the Calgary Public Library from 1941 to her retirement in 1974. One day, walking home for lunch, she shot a photo of the Patrick Burns mansion which was shortly to be demolished. The demolition of this building and, especially, the old courthouse galvanized Alison into preserving on film buildings which were under threat. She had a keen eye and an exceptional talent and in 1975 her photographs were used to illustrate two books on the built history of Calgary: Be It Ever So Humble and A Walk Through Old Calgary both by Trudy Soby (now Cowan). These items can be borrowed from the library if you would like to see some examples of Miss Jackson's photographs. After Miss Jackson's death in 1987, her estate donated her photographs and slides to the Calgary Public Library. They have been digitized and can be viewed in the Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library (the link is on the left hand side of the page. To browse just the Alison Jackson Collection, just click on the link.
When Alison took this photograph, the Conservatory was not under threat. In fact it was new. A donation from Eric Harvie, through the Woods Foundation, provided the money for the first component of the conservatory which was opened by John Ballem, who was the President of the Zoological Society at the time. It had been built on the site of the old Biergarten/Band Stand that had been built in 1912 before there was even a zoo on St. George's Island. The original intention was that the building, seen in the postcard below, would be a true biergarten but the province was officially "dry" and no alcohol, not even beer, could be served. The building became a teahouse with a dance hall on the second storey.

FBI investigating ties between gunman and supremacist groups
By KIM JANSSEN Staff firstname.lastname@example.com August 6, 2012 8:04AM
Article Extras
Updated: August 7, 2012 9:07AM
OAK CREEK, Wis. — A gunman who killed six worshippers at a Sikh temple in a Milwaukee suburb Sunday is an Army veteran with psychological operations experience and alleged ties to white supremacist groups.
Delivery driver Wade Michael Page's name may even have appeared in prior FBI reports, according to FBI Special Agent Teresa Carlson, but Page was not the target of any investigation until Sunday, and there was no indication he was capable of the second mass shooting to leave the nation reeling within a month.
Page, 40, would almost certainly have killed more victims at the Oak Creek temple if police had not fatally shot him within 10 minutes of being alerted to his deadly rampage, officials said Monday. They praised the heroism of the responding officers and continued to describe the murders as possible domestic terrorism.
Three survivors — including the first police officer to arrive at the scene, Lt. Brian Murphy, 51 — remained in critical condition Monday evening. A fourth was treated for an injury and released.
Murphy was shot eight or nine times at close range, but he waved off officers who came to his aid and told them to "go into the temple and assist those in there," Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said, describing the 21-year veteran's brave actions as "not a surprise."
Using a 9mm handgun and multiple magazines of ammunition that Page had purchased legally, the man walked into the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin and started shooting around 10:25 a.m., killing two worshippers outside and four inside as dozens more hid in terror, police said. When Murphy arrived and saw a victim in the parking lot, Page ambushed him, shooting him with a handgun at close range, including once in the neck, Edwards said.
Other officers arrived on the scene, saw Page in the parking lot and ordered him to stop and drop his weapon, Edwards added. Page fired on two police cars, and one officer, later identified as 32-year veteran Sam Lenda, returned fire, hitting Page, who died in the parking lot, authorities said.
"In my mind, they're all heroes," Edwards said of the officers at the scene.
As Sikhs in Milwaukee and around the world mourned the dead — identified Monday as temple president Satwant Singh Kaleka, 62; Suveg Singh Khattra, 84; Paramjit Kaur, 41; Prakash Singh, 39; Ranjit Singh, 49, and Sita Singh, 41 — a picture of their bald-headed, goatee-wearing alleged killer began to emerge.
Page, who most recently lived in the Milwaukee suburb of Cudahy, joined the Army in 1992 and was discharged in 1998 and would not have been allowed to re-enlist, authorities said.
He was a "frustrated neo-Nazi" who led a racist white supremacist band, the Southern Poverty Law Center said Monday. Page told a white supremacist website in an interview in 2010 that he had been part of the white-power music scene since 2000 when he left his native Colorado and started the band, End Apathy, in 2005, the nonprofit civil rights organization said.
He told the website his "inspiration was based on frustration that we have the potential to accomplish so much more as individuals and a society in whole," according to the SPLC. He did not mention violence in the website interview.
Page joined the military in Milwaukee in 1992 and was a repairman for the Hawk missile system before switching jobs to become one of the Army's psychological operations specialists, according to a defense official.
So-called "Psy-Ops" specialists are responsible for the analysis, development and distribution of intelligence used for information and psychological effect; they research and analyze methods of influencing foreign populations.
Fort Bragg, N.C., was among the bases where Page served.
Page's former landlord, Joseph Rackley of Nashville, N.C., said Page lived with his son for about six months last year in a house on Rackley's three acres of property. Wade was bald and had tattoos all over his arms, Rackley said, but he doesn't remember what they depicted. He said he wasn't aware of any ties Page may have had to white supremacists.
"I'm not a nosy kind of guy," Rackley said. "When he stayed with my son, I don't even know if Wade played music. But my son plays alternative music and periodically I'd have to call them because I could hear more than I wanted to hear."
Rackley said Page was always decent and respectful to him. "To me, he was a decent kid," he said.
A more recent neighbor, David Brown, 62, lived in the same South Milwaukee apartment building as Page, until Page, his girlfriend, Misty, and her 5-year-old autistic son moved out earlier this year.
He described Page as a loner who lifted weights in the building's basement and blasted loud rock music late at night.
Though Brown is a proud Navy vet who wears a Navy ball cap, Page never shared his military background with him, Brown said.
"He didn't speak a whole lot — he seemed angry at the world," Brown said. "I never saw him with a gun, or I'd have told the landlord and the police."
The FBI said early Monday that it was looking for a second "person of interest" who showed up at the scene after the shootings, but later ruled out that man's involvement, saying it believes Page acted alone.
Officials referred to a number of hate crimes in which Sikhs have been mistaken for Muslims since 9/11 and stressed the valuable part that Sikhs play in Oak Creek and communities across the U.S. Still, they said Page's motive was under investigation.
For relatives and fellow Sikhs seeking reassurance from authorities in Oak Creek, there was little doubt the shootings were motivated by racial hatred.
The son of one of the victims said his father was a humble man who moved to Wisconsin in 2004.
Taxi driver Balginder Khattra, of Oak Creek, said Monday his 84-year-old father, Suveg Singh Khattra, didn't speak English but managed to communicate with neighbors using his hands. Khattra says his father harbored no hatred for anyone, loved living in America and attended the temple every day. He says both he and his father were born in Patiala, a city in southeastern Punjab in northern India, where they farmed.
And Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka, the nephew of the slain temple president Kaleka tearfully recalled his uncle's "goofy" sense of humor — the way he'd sing in a heavy Indian accent about his plans for the day.
More than anyone, his uncle was responsible for getting the temple built, he said.
"All of those who died were the most gentle, pure people you could ever meet," he added. "I can't understand the mind of someone who would do that to them."
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker ordered that flags be lowered to half-staff in remembrance of those killed.
Flags are ordered to be lowered until sunset Monday and the day of each victim's funeral.
On Monday night at the Wheaton Sikh center, the interfaith community unleashed an outpouring of love and support as Sikhs mourned.
"God's love calls us together," said the Rev. Linda Tossey of Community Baptist Church in Warrenville. "It does not matter what religious denomination brought us here, or that we haven't quite figured out our theology. What matters is that we have come as Americans, as people who care, that we have all come as children of the same God."
Following Monday's service, hundreds of Sikhs and their supporters gathered outside for a candlelight vigil.
"It was really, really sad," said Jashanpreet Kaur, a member of the Wheaton temple who worshipped at the Oak Creek temple when she was a college student in Wisconsin. "The man who makes the food there used to pack food for me, like home. It was a second house for people. I keep crying."

BSOD ntoskrnl.exe - Random crashes
For the longest time now I've been getting BSODs and I've never really looked into how to try and fix them. Recently I upgraded my graphics card and PSU which makes me worry that I messed something up while installing the PSU.
I've ran hard drive diagnostics and everything is fine.
I had two Mushkin 991770 RAM sticks but after testing them with MemTest I found one stick gives me errors. I've taken that stick out and am debating on buy new RAM.
I've attached my most recent BSODs, 3 from today and 2 from the past couple of days. If anyone could analyze them and help me try to narrow my systems problems down I would be grateful.
If there's anymore information I should provide let me know.
|My System Specs

Welcome to SF .
Can you please upload the MSINFO32 file?
Start> RUN> "MSINFO32" without the quotes then hit [Enter].Also I have to ask, did you stop using the bad RAM module?
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2013
Sorry I thought it put that file in the zip. Yes I removed the faulty RAM and I just have one stick in at the moment.
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2013
Thanks, I only took this month's dumps into consideration,
because you said you had bad RAM and I assumed it was prior to that.
Start by testing the HDD.
Testing the HDD:
If the HDD is passing all the tests follow the tutorial below on how to run the SFC/ Scannow
utility, then upload the results as detailed in OPTION 3.
Once that is done enable Driver Verifier:
Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause.
Enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.
Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.
How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.
If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

I'm having a lot of trouble with pretty much everything you suggested.
1. Disk Check
I enabled a disk check and restarted my computer. The disk check went fine and when everything was finished it logged me back into my computer. However, once I tried to find the file for the disk check it just wasn't there. I tried both methods you gave me but there wasn't a disk check file anywhere.
2. My HDD passed SeaTools. I tried the short and long tests and S.M.A.R.T.
When I tried to execute that command in CMD it says "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
|My System Specs
|05 Sep 2013
OK let's narrow it down.
Perform the disk check following OPTION 2 of the tutorial.
For SFC /Scannow also follow OPTION 2 and make sure you're using an elevated command prompt.
After that post the results and enable Driver Verifier as detailed above .

(KTSF by Hellas Leung)
San Francisco Supervisors announced the donation of Ipads to the Community Ambassadors Safety Program. The new tech devices allow ambassadors to better communicate with residents and access critical safety information.
San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr says," they will be able to conduct their work more effectively while documenting important information for the police to analyze. A Chinese ambassador adds it will "help them with language translation if we don't speak the language. We can have application where we can do translation right there."
Malia Cohen, District 10 Supervisor says, "here we are in the 21st century, so now we are beginning to act like members in the 21st century."
The Ipads are donated by AT&T which has also provided free service and cell phones since the Ambassador Program started in July, 2010.

Lois Gross pulls Santa's strings Monday as she decorates her Webster
Avenue lawn with one of the many Christmas-themed inflatables. Wind proved to be an obstacle to keeping the jolly elf in place.
Within minutes of a Wednesday morning burglary of Thrift Food Mart on Oddville Avenue police had two men in custody.
At 3:25 a.m., two Cynthiana men allegedly tossed a cinder block through the front door of the store. Once inside, the suspects took beer and a couple of cartons of cigarettes from behind the front counter, said Chief Ray Johnson.
"We had good video," said Johnson of the surveillance at the store.
A Lafferty Pike home was completely destroyed by fire early Saturday morning.
Anthony Wright, who lives alone, was sleeping when a loud crashing noise awakened him.
"It was pitch black with smoke," Wright said.
Wright was able to get out of the home, however all of his, his children's and grandchildren's belongings were destroyed.
Because the fire spread so rapidly, Chief Charles Carson of the Harrison County Volunteer department said the state fire marshal was called in to investigate.
Don't be the one who missed the first-ever Harrison County Live Christmas-style concert.
"This was all the kids' idea," said Harrison County High School singers director Michelle Hassall. "After HCL back in March, they wanted to do another one with a Christmas twist."
Hassall brought forth Harrison County Live in the spring of 1999 for the first time.
"This is our seventh or eighth time doing this... can't keep up with all of them," said Hassall.
Many have heard the expression "out of this world," but when you are talking about the work and lives of Joseph and Loni Zaragoza, it turns from figurative to literal.
It is hard to pick a spot in the life line of the couple and not be in awe.
From The Kennedy Space Center, located in Florida, to the Vandenburg Air Force Base in California and hundreds of stops in between, Joseph and Loni have carved their marks in history.
Joseph started his very eventful career during the Korean war.
A call that started out as a possible domestic situation on Saturday ended in a drug-related case file.
Cynthiana police officers were called to Hillside Drive where a woman had allegedly been struck with a telephone by her former boyfriend, whom she had an emergency protective order against.
When police arrived, the suspect had left the scene, according to Sgt. Wilbur Gross.
Police arrested Chris True, 43, at his Pleasant Street residence.
He was initially charged with criminal trespass and fourth degree assault.
It's one of the most prestigious cattle shows in the United States and a local farm family can boast a grand champion showing at the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE).

Not even a month old to Harrison County and eWarrants are living up to the hype they started.
The eWarrant system, which started on Nov. 10, has already helped law enforcement serve approximately 25 warrants.
"The days of eluding warrants is quickly becoming a thing of the past," said Harrison County Sheriff's Detective Paul Olin.
People were once able to get out of being served warrants by constantly moving around from city to city, according to Olin.
The Piper Akin era began Tuesday night on the Hilltop with a hard-earned victory over the Frankfort Lady Panthers, 53-47.
The Fillies took the lead from the start and never trailed as they opened with a 5 to 0 run and never allowed the visitors to get closer than four points after the Lady Panthers' Sheree Brown hit a three to cut the lead to 5-3.
Again the Fillies went on a run this time scoring 10 straight to take a 15-3 advantage.
The first year coach was obviously pleased to begin her career with a win.
The youth-laden Harrison County Thorobreds ran into a veteran group of Simon Kenton Pioneers Monday night as they lost the season opener 68-47.
The Breds held their own for the first half as they battled the eighth region favorite to a 31-all stand still.
The Breds actually out rebounded the bigger, more physical Pioneers in the first half while making some key shots to pull even at the end of the opening two periods.

WASHINGTON, May 23, 2012 — Arizona secretary of state, who had courted birthers by threatening to keep the President off the ballot, has backed down and put President Obama on the ballot for November's election.
Meanwhile, Super Birther Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio sent a "Threat" investigator and a deputy sheriff to Hawaii to track down more information on President Obama's birth certificate and he paid for the trip with taxpayers' money.
However, Ken Bennett, Arizona's secretary of state, said that Hawaiian officials had sent him the necessary information "that satisfied our requirement and has therefore provided his office with a verification of birth for President Obama," thus clearing the way for president to be on the upcoming election ballot.
Still one must also wonder if Bennett, as the co-chair of the Romney for president campaign in Arizona, might have received a little pressure from the Romney camp to knock it off and quit playing the birther card.
Cold Case Posse's Charges
But Sheriff Arpaio is far from crying uncle in his crusade to prove President Obama is an illegitimate president. After his news conference back in March when he unveiled his latest findings dug up by his "Cold Posse," which he insisted proved that the long form birth certificate released by the President is computer-generated forgery, has now sent a two man team to Hawaii to dig further.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that sheriff's deputy Brian Mackiewcz and posse member Michael Zullo were in Hawaii on Monday, demanding official confirmation that Hawaii has on file the president's original birth certificate. The two men showed identification that they were from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office located in Phoenix.
They were further authorized by the Sheriff of Maricopa to be there as part of "an official investigation." Zullo, who is a member of the Cold Posse vigilantes, showed a business card identifying him as being with the Threats Management Unit of the sheriff's office as well.
What makes the whole investigation even more outrageous is that the Hawaiian trip, including airfare, hotel room and meals, was paid for by taxpayers. And what is the Sheriff's response now that he has been caught?
"It's one deputy, so what? We have security issues, too, that I can't go into. For six months we were not spending any money. When you're doing investigations sometimes things change, you put more resources into it."
Who Funds the Cold Case Posse?
So far the Cold Case Posse admits to spending $40,000 for its investigation, funded by donations. Arpaio says he expects to get more private donations to reimburse the Hawaii expenses. Are the birthers ready to cough up more dollars for a bogus investigation? Never underestimate the fringe.
And what was the deputy doing there in the first place?
"He's not going to make any arrests," Arpaio said. "I didn't say we're going to keep using him. We're not going to use him constantly. He's not assigned to it. For this trip I feel it's important to have a deputy there. He's just a liaison to give advice if needed. He's not doing anything. The posse's been doing the research. I'm not going to say what other trips they've been taking, but they haven't had a deputy with them." Hmmm, so there have been other trips as well, Sheriff?
And what's with the guy from the Threats Management Unit?
What Security Issues?
Arpaio only said it was because of "security issues" that he couldn't go into. It's all hush-hush, you know. Bet the taxpayers would want to know what kind of "threat" their tax dollars were thwarting. The last time the Threat unit was involved was when the Sheriff went after Arpaio's opponent in the 2004 Republican primary for sheriff. The challenger later sued Arpaio.
And so the birther saga goes on…and on. Obviously Sheriff Arpaio is disappointed that Bennett caved and will allow the President a place on the ballot. But that will not dissuade him. Worse, the whole embarrassing kerfuffle has not convinced Mitt Romney not to seek the Sheriff's endorsement, just as Arizona Republican candidates across the state do, genuflecting before the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in the America.
The rest of us are patiently waiting for the wheels of justice to slowly grind forward, finally putting an end to the petty tyrant's reign. Assistant U.S. Attorney General Thomas Perez, stymied in trying to work with the sheriff's office, felt forced to implement the rarely used power of suing the sheriff over alleged civil rights violations, including the racial profiling of Hispanics.
And what does Sheriff Arpaio have to say about that turn of events? Basically, thumbing his nose, he said, "I will not surrender my office to the federal government."
Meanwhile, Sheriff Arpaio has some taxpayers to answer to, and ten to one they will expect him to knuckle under to them and return their tax dollar spent on the wild goose chase to Hawaii.

This is not my experience though. I think there are generational differences, but I also think that the bigger differences are the amazing changes in our society, which affect every generation, but youth at a faster rate. Therefore, I would say that all of our Western culture is less empathetic and not lay it just on the shoulders of youth and young adults.
The analysis indicated that relative to their late-1970s' counterparts, today's college students are less likely to make an effort to understand their friends' perspectives or to feel tenderness or concern for the less fortunate.
"Many people see the current group of college students -- sometimes called 'Generation Me' -- as one of the most self-centered, narcissistic, competitive, confident and individualistic in recent history," observed Konrath, who is also affiliated with the psychiatry department at the University of Rochester.
We could all be more empathetic. But, in the final analysis being empathetic doesn't get you anywhere. It is when empathy leads to acting with charity, mercy, tenderness, and humility that it gets us somewhere - heaven.

Camp Lend-A-Hand Resident Camp Sessions Canceled
Girls registered for Resident Camp sessions at Camp Lend-A-Hand this summer have been notified that Resident Camp sessions have been canceled. They are being placed into a variety of alternative camps and camp sessions at Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania's owned and operated Camp Redwing, Camp Elliott and Camp Conshatawba. This decision was made after extensive pool repairs were identified at the Crawford County facility.
"Knowing that our girls consider swimming to be a favorite camp activity," said CEO, Pat Burkart, "We do not want to compromise the quality of the Girl Scout camp experience to our girls." In addition, all girls who were awarded financial aid to attend Camp Lend-A-Hand will not have to reapply for any alternative camp.
Camp Lend-A-Hand will be available for troop camping during the summer months by Girl Scouts throughout the 27-county service area. Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania also has other camps that offer troop camping, they include: Camp Birdsall Edey, Curry Creek Program Center, Camp Hawthorne Ridge, Resting Waters Program Center, Camp Wright-O-Way, Camp Roy Weller, Camp Timberlake, Camp Trefoil Trails, and the Yough Girl Scout Campus.
The council also offers Core Camp Programs at Singing Hills and Skymeadow camps, as well as a variety of Day Camp adventures during the summer months. All of these opportunities are listed in the council publications section of the website.
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. In this fast-paced, changing world, Girl Scouting moves at the speed of girl. So should you! Call 800.248.3355 or visit www.gswpa.org.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were dipping Tuesday as investors awaited the unofficial kickoff of earnings season Tuesday with a report from aluminum giant Alcoa (AA).
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were off 13 points, or 20.29 points below fair value, at 13,294. Futures for the S&P 500 were down 1.5 points, or 1.94 points below fair value, at 1454. Futures for the Nasdaq were behind by 2.5 points, or 3.22 points below fair value, at 2715.
Major U.S. stock averages slumped on Monday after a run-up Friday in which the S&P 500 rose to a new closing high.
Aluminum giant Alcoa is expected by analysts Tuesday to post fourth-quarter earnings of 6 cents a share on revenue of $5.61 billion.Shares of Alcoa were up 0.77% in premarket trading. "Starting Tuesday afternoon, with Alcoa's Q4 earnings report, corporate fundamentals will start to matter again -- if only briefly," said Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx. "U.S. companies have proven time and again over the last four years that they can deliver strong bottom-line results in spite of a tepid global economy. The market-moving information will, instead, be at the top of the income statement -- as it was during Q3 2012 season." Colas' monthly review of analysts' revenue estimates for the companies of the Dow shows an expected rebound from the third quarter's negative 2% year-on-year change to positive 1.1%. On the downside, said Colas, that's what analysts thought last quarter, right before many large multinational corporations missed on the top line. Thomson Reuters is expecting fourth-quarter earnings to grow 2.8% over the same period last year. Thomson Reuters said that of the 21 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings to date for the fourth quarter 2012, 62% have reported earnings above analysts' expectations.

Why Wind is Your Seattle Area Roof's Worst Enemy
The purpose of your Seattle or Tacoma roofing system is to protect you and your family from the weather. You might think that keeping you dry and safe through our region's frequent rain and snow events is enough.

New Virus Raids Your Bank Account
It used to be that viruses were all about annoying popups or deleting important windows files, or redirecting all your searches to porn sites. Not anymore. Virus makers have grown up, and these days, it's all about the money.
Take the new "SpyEye" Trojan that an Israeli based Security firm Trusteer found a few weeks ago. This sneaky little virus will wait for you to log into your bank webpage, then steals your credentials. It tricks you into giving it your debit card information, and hijacks your account. Pretty standard for a financial virus so far, right? Here's where it gets real scary.
SpyEye uses advanced track covering techniques. First, it monitors all the transactions the criminal makes, then it changes the characters on the infected machine to erase all evidence of the transaction, giving the criminal time to push the money to his own ends, and the consumer has no idea. The virus doesn't actually change the bank systems, just what is displayed on the infected machine's web browser, meaning the only person who would know about the attack is the consumer if he happened to check his balance at an uninfected machine, or at an ATM.
The virus' evidence wiping is "a very scary tactic," said Avivah Litan, a financial fraud analyst at consulting firm Gartner. "Everybody thinks all they have to do is check their transactions and their balances. That's not true anymore." He goes on to say how important it is for consumers to report virus attempts and infections, as they're still a staple in following the latest hacking trends.
"Most banks let the first transaction through, because if they stopped everything that was potentially fraud, consumers would get annoyed," she said. In most cases this lets the criminals get their one important transaction through, and they usually only steal from an account once.
Evidence covering techniques have been used by viruses in the past. A simpler version of the virus helped criminals stay undetected with the same web interception trick, but this Trojan has a better potential for success, because it involved third party debit card used and multiple banks and multiple security systems.
Basically, if you have financial malware on your computer, it's game over. Regular virus screenings will help combat this, as stopping the virus before it strikes is the most effective way to deal with fraud in the first place.

Castelli Rosso Corsa 6 Socks $14.95
Castelli's Rosso Corsa Bike Socks treat your feet right.
The Castelli Rosso Corsa 6 is the shortest version of the Rosso Corsa sock. It's the Rossa Corsa because that's the designation Castelli uses for their best gear. They are woven with Meryl Skinlife antibacterial fibers. The sock is thus wicking, will feel dry pretty much in just about every circumstance save a rainstorm. The top of the foot is a diaphanous web, ultra-thin and extremely breathable. In the middle of the foot, the arch area, there is a high-density band woven in. You won't notice any difference in thickness, but you will feel like the sock is becoming one with your foot rather than sliding around between your foot and your shoe. The toe has a flat seam for comfort and the cuff at the top is folded over to keep the sock from slipping.
The Castelli Rosso Corsa 6 Sock comes in three colors: Black, Red, and White. The toes, heels, mid-foot band, and cuff logos are in contrasting colors. Sizes are S/M, L/XL, and 2XL.

Love these socks!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I never imagined socks could improve a ride so much. I bought one pair of these on sale. Liked them so much I bought two more. I am size 9.5-10 U.S. and the L/XL is a perfect fit. Very comfortable for riding in warm/hot weather. If it's cool/cold get the wool socks.
Andy Wingerter
Lovin the socks!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great lightweight sock that give a nice snug fit to your feet. No bunching at the toes. If you are on the fence on size, order the smaller size.
Bill Brown
You want them!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought a pair of Castelli Garmin Team socks and said in my review I would buy them all over again even in plain white. Well, here they are and available in white, black and red. They fit great, have a porous panel on top of foot for cooling, and wick moisture away from skin very nicely. These are the 6 cm which is the height cuff I like-don't like the 'footies' and don't like the high tops. I wear a 45 shoe and the L/XL fits perfectly.
Sheldon T
Great sock
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Thin, well fitting sock. Size is accurate from recommendations. Haven't used for extended period so I can't comment on longevity but they are great so far.
Alvin L. M.
Buy them
They fit well (15.5 - 11 US Athletic) and feel good.
Perfect warm weather sock
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Gorgeous sock, lightweight and breathers well. Ideal for warmer weather.
Agnes Vanessa Alvarez Torres
Fits just great
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift
- Fit: True to size
I gave this socks as a gift for my father and he loved them, he said they fit perfectly, they are very soft and on summer they avoid his feet to get too warm.
Castelli Rosso Corsa 9 socks
This is my first pair of socks from Castelli and they are awesome. Great quality and fit plus they look really cool. Just too bad they are $$$.
Good Socks
Nice fit, nice fabric. The 6 is a good length. Shoe size 43, 10.5, sock size l/xl. Just Right.
Arrived in poor condition
I'm not sure who's to blame but the socks I ordered were clearly used. There was a gash down the heel side, defined sweat stains on the soles, and severe damage to the elastic. What's worse is that I paid more for the shipping than the actual sock cost me, then an additional $7 to send it back, so in the end a single pair of socks cost me about $25. Realcyclist lost some points in my book on this one.
Debbie C
Wonder if they were returned by someone else previously??? Someone else suggested that before...but if they have the tags on them, I doubt it.
You're right about having to pay the return shipping for defective product...I've had this happen, too...
Jacob Torrey
Excellent sock, your feet will thank you
I got a size down as recommended, the fit great, keep my feet dry and the perfect temp. The compression band helps with arch support and they look pretty snazzy as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdUzVF3UfHE is the new location for the Rosso Corsa video

The sock is almost perfect, protected well my skin.

Awesome Pair of Socks
I got them on sale off course and they are worth every penny. The quality of the materials cant be any better, my feet stayed dry and comfortable on a 60 mile ride, What more can I say other than it also looks very nice, Its Castelli. 5 STarZZZZZ
Good ventilation, style & function
Excellent product - well made. I wear US shoe-size 10 or 10.5. From previous comments I went with size S/M and it turned out a perfect fit. During training rides above 80 F, these socks ventilate the mid-sole region. Previously I was wearing thin running socks from Nike, etc. where heat build-up was a problem. Castelli products have good form and style designed for cycling. So far I have two pairs of these and wear a Castelli fingerless glove with minimal padding - so far I'm getting great results.

Write your question here...What is the difference between XXL and 2XL?
Incidentally, they are one in the same.
John in MD
I know that sounded like a dumb question but they are different prices. Further, the sizing chart is way off. I got the XXL to go on my 10.5-11 feet. The socks were way huge. The L/XL fit exactly.

VERY VERY GOOD SOCK!!! I have 3 pair and all have lasted YEARS. Only other sock that compares is the Swiftwick sock, but the Castelli's look better!! PI and Sockguy and others won't last and don't fit any were near as well as these!! Buy em you'll be glad you did!!

Am I reading the sizing right? If I wear a US size 9 shoe then does that mean size L/XL?

The sizing chart is way off. I got the XXL to go on my 10.5-11 feet. The socks were way huge. The L/XL fit exactly.
Bikin' Bikin'
I'm a US 9.5/10, I bought the L/XL and the heel cup marking (where sock is different color at heel) ends up covering my Achilles tendon when pulled up tight enough to prevent bunching around my toes. I bought the Medium and had a perfect fit.
Castelli is bizarre fit wise. Socks are typically much larger and shorts/jerseys much smaller. I'm a huge Castelli fan, just takes trial and error trying to get the best fit. Don't get me started on the way Castelli full zip jerseys vs. 1/2 zip jerseys fit....

The Food Network's annual Thanksgiving Live special is designed to give viewers pointers about Turkey Day, but this year Giada De Laurentiis demonstrated what not to do.
De Laurentiis sliced her finger open while she was slicing a turkey roll on the live show Saturday, with other celebrity chefs Ina Garten, Alton Brown and Bobby Flay looking on, Radar Online reports.
In the killing fields of the ubiquitous TV crime drama, there are shows that attempt to expand the formula with depth of character and a hauntingly fatalistic tone, while many others cling to the comfort zone of wrapping each case within a tidy hour, just another routine day on the job. AMC's The Killing, back for a third season of dark brooding after narrowly escaping cancellation, is ambitious to a fault. And its fault lines showed throughout the first two erratic and indulgent though often absorbing seasons, with an overextended inquiry into a single murder case that frustrated and annoyed viewers with its obvious red herrings and stubborn lack of resolution until long past interest had waned.
Food Network Star winners compete. See who shines in the Chopped Kitchen! watch
Cooking gurus Martha Stewart and Giada de Laurentiis share their favorite Thanksgiving side dishes, like a tricolore salad and a twice-cooked potato and leek casserole.
Giada welcomes spring with a classic eggplant and asparagus side dish.
Giada pairs her Beer-Battered Asparagus with an herby, tangy dipping sauce.

Volunteer Profile:
Making a Map Collection More User-Friendly
Branch: Branciforte
Volunteer Jules Resnick spent hours
getting the map collection in order
at Branciforte Library; as a result,
patrons are using it more.
Jules Resnick's path to volunteering with the library began more than a decade ago when he retired from his computer-programming job at Stanford University. He and his wife wanted to move near the coast and wound up settling in the Live Oak area of Santa Cruz County.
"We've been involved in local activities ever since we got here," he said. "This area really acts like a community, unlike some other places."
After doing volunteer work with the Red Cross and Live Oak Neighbors (with which he's still involved), Resnick offered his services to the library system when the new Live Oak branch opened. His first assignment was directing traffic on opening day.
"It was pouring rain," he recalled. "About all I did was stand there and point to where the parking spaces were."
Shortly afterward, he was asked to help at the Branciforte branch on Santa Cruz' east side. When he got acquainted with its workings, Branch Manager Linda Gault asked him to straighten out the map collection, which needed some attention.
"I have quite a collection at home," he said, "at least 200 road maps, so it's something I was interested in. "It took much longer than I thought it would — probably four months of coming in at least once a week."
Resnick, who describes himself as "detail-oriented," worked with Gault to catalogue and cross-reference the maps, weed out the duplicate and inappropriate materials, and rearrange and relabel the collection. He also put bar codes on the maps so they could be checked out, where before they could only be viewed in the library.
"It was a very valuable service," Gault said. "We didn't have the staff to keep the collection up to date and well-organized. Jules put it all in order so it's used more often now because it's easy to access. It's a good example of how a volunteer can take on a labor-intensive task that needed doing."
Resnick continues to volunteer at the library on a weekly basis, staying on top of the map collection and the branch's phone books, and doing searches for books that are reported missing.
"The only downside to the job," he said, "is that as I go down the shelves, I keep finding books that I want to read, but I don't have the time."
