At its core, the Wong Kar-Wai film 2046 (2004) is about the anchor of memory and the struggle to move beyond the emotional stasis of ill-fated love. Developed as an associated sequel to his breathtaking classic In the Mood for Love (2000), it's a poignant and heart-wrenching follow-up that restarts the story of Mr. Chow, an uninspired writer of pulp whose life as an aloof playboy incapable of emotionally connecting with the several women he encounters both in real life and in literature. While a central character from ITMFL is alluded to several times during the film, often hanging over the plot like a ghostly signifier for Chow's past, one could conceivably view 2046 as a singular film about the pitfalls of timing but I would highly recommend beginning with ITMFL before undertaking the narratively intricate arcs of 2046 (there are countless allusions to the previous film that will function only to confuse the audience). Mostly set in Hong Kong during the latter part of the 1960's, Mr. Chow (played brilliantly by actor Tony Leung) is writing a Science Fiction story about the year 2046, a time and place where people go to relive their memories, a place where nothing changes. No one has ever come back from 2046 except for the teller of the tale, a Japanese man named Tak, a kind of stand-in for Chow. Chow's unsentimental affair with a call girl who lives in an adjacent apartment (room number 2046) is achingly born out of Chow's loneliness and boredom with his career but she has an earnest and quixotic plan for him that will force him to address his yearning for a past that has come and gone. Both films masterfully depict moodiness and atmosphere like few others in due part to the sensual cinematography of Christopher Doyle and use of melodic music to evoke the interior longing of characters. Prepare for a non-linear plot that jumps backward and forward throughout the film.
Calvary is a powerhouse of a film set in a small city along the picturesque coast of Ireland. The film's themes concentrate around the power of religious faith, its practical limitations to address contemporary life's complexities and the power of forgiveness in a world of lost belief and despair. Fiercely emotional, Calvary goes straight to the heart of whether or not forgiveness for unthinkable crimes is possible and whether one respectable priest's fidelity to his vocation can be shaken by the varied reproaches echoed by those whose lives are mired in "well earned" melancholy and cynicism. Actor Brendan Gleeson is a decent priest who attempts to provide counsel and solace to several residents in the provincial town, most of whom mock and dismiss his honest intentions to provide comfort and guidance.
From the opening scene of the film, we learn (without seeing the identity) that a victimized parishioner plans on murdering the priest, not because he's been wronged by our protagonist but because killing an innocent person will in some way symbolically draw attention to the sex abuse crimes committed against thousands of Irish children like himself. It's a brilliant, opening salvo that will force Father James to confront his own troubled relationship with belief, reconcile with his depressed daughter and come to terms with a fate that may well end with his life coming to a close. Billed as a dark comedy, Calvary has its moments of lighthearted quirkiness but the overall somberness of the film's tone cannot be ignored. This is serious material handled with sensitivity. Even as the film's core is suffused with an undeniable tension between righteous anger and its corrosive impact on the self, there are moments where we see genuine kindness expressed as in the case of the grieving French woman's scenes with Father James.
That's not to say that there are no problems with the film, some of which can be felt in the way the highly stylized characters of the foiling townspeople were written. Their 'realness' was clearly substituted for their capacity to represent the secular world's various grievances with the church and its subsequent decline in status. In the end, the movie succeeds, mostly due to the stunning performance given by the veteran actor Gleeson.
It's that time of the year to look at some of the notable films that have been restored and re-released back into cultural circulation once more. The Criterion Collection once again represents the gold standard in terms of packaging and supplementing these culturally significant works from the past.1. The Long Day Closes2. The Vanishing3.

After watching one of the last episodes of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother, in which one of the characters performs a poignant rendition of the classic ballad La Vie En Rose with a Ukulele, I began thinking about the cinematic role of this Hawaiian instrument (one of my favorites). Several recent films came immediately to mind (Her and Blue Valentine) but after a Youtube search, I discovered a few others films that feature this little guitar's power to pluck an audience's heartstrings. For fans of the instrument, check out Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder's album Ukulele Songs.
From the movie Her:
A compilation of movie scenes:
Recent internet buzz about a leaked trailer for the newest installment of the Star Wars series and the release of Christopher Nolan's film Interstellar (in theaters now) got me thinking about the first, great science fiction film, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's a beautiful enigma of a film that continues to stand up to the test of time given its enduring philosophical and scientific themes, not to mention its visual originality and marked refusal to conform to commercial and artistic conventions. It should be noted that it was not everyone's cup of tea when it originally opened in movie theaters in 1968 and it's glacial pacing, minimalist dialogue and conceptual approach to narrative won't please many of today's film viewers but for those willing to give into its pondering lyricism and subtle jabs at satire and social commentary, you will be rewarded.
I chose to watch Rosewood Lane because Rose McGowan was in it. I've like her since Charmed. Rose McGowan is Sonny Blake a radio talk show therapist. Her alcoholic dad dies, and she moves into her childhood home. They briefly touch on that she tried to sell the house and could not but the movie had to have her move back home so that we can have the paperboy terrorize her. On her first day back the paperboy asks if she wants to subscribe and there is a good deal if she subscribes in the first 30 days. I wonder what would have happened if she had said yes. She doesn't and the paperboy shows up in her basement, moves her swan and bear figurines, peeks through the fence. It doesn't sound too terrorizing to have your swan figurine moved to where the bear figurine was and vice versa, but it was the visual indicator that he was in her house and that she was vulnerable to him. The neighbors say he is cunning and can do things that cannot be explained. Sonny sees the paper boy holding a cardboard sign which says Hickory standing by his bicycle on the road, she drives past him and bang suddenly he is in front of her holding another sign which says Dickory and again somehow he got in front of her and he is holding a sign which says Doc. We are left wondering if he is magical, a vampire or just knows some good shortcuts. Whatever, he is good at being creepy. Things escalate; the paperboy calls her station and says nursery rhymes. Sonny is convinced that the paperboy killed her father. The movie doesn't give any reason why the paperboy is terrorizing her, other than he is a sociopath and on his newspaper route. The Director also directed Jeepers Creepers and this movie has the same feel. The paperboy is good at terrorizing and the movie keeps you engaged. Give it a watch and if you are approached by your paperboy you might want to say yes to a subscription. Check it out at KPL.
If the snowy weather's got you down and you want to watch people who are colder than you are, or if you're in the mood to wallow in mankind's devastating effect on global temperatures—or if you just like a good sci-fi action movie—check out the recent South Korean (but mostly English language) release Snowpiercer. Based off the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige and co-written and directed by Bong Joon-ho, best known for the rollickingly great rampaging monster flick The Host, Snowpiercer is set in a dystopian future where mankind's attempts to reverse global warming have expedited a new Ice Age that has killed off most life on the planet. The few humans that remain live on the Snowpiercer, a massive train that continuously circumnavigates the globe. Within the train, people are divided into social classes, with the poor living in squalor in the rearmost cars, cruelly lorded over by the wealthiest passengers from the front cars. But a revolution is brewing, as man-with-a-past Curtis (Captain America's Chris Evans) leads the impoverished on a car-by-car battle towards the engine, with hopes of overthrowing the Snowpiercer's creator and authoritarian leader, played by Ed Harris.
Shot with cinematic grandeur, Snowpiecer succeeds on many levels: as suspenseful fight-laden actioner; as a dystopian fable; as a commentary on our environmental malfeasance; and, as an acting showcase—Tilda Swinton's gonzo portrayal of a ministerial henchwoman is worth the proverbial price of admission alone. So check it out—the icy backdrop and chilly social undertones may just be the belly-warming tonic you need to make it through these first few frozen weeks of the season.
Do you love snow and winter? Here are some serious dramas where winter or snow plays a significant role in the plot and setting.Mon Oncle AntoineMetropolitanFanny and AlexanderThe AscentA Christmas TaleMy Night at Maud'sAll That Heaven AllowsDownhill RacerFargoThe ShiningFrozen River
Mixing Notting Hill-like romantic fantasy with time traveling tropes, About Time excoriates viewers to live life to its fullest in the most sugary of ways. The message throughout the film is crystal clear and delivered like a hammer slamming against your head and your heart--life is precious and always chockfull of peaks and valleys, therefore, even if your family has the capacity to travel backward to modify one's choices and missteps, one should recognize and cherish the insignificant, every day moments that form one's life. It's a terribly obvious film with just enough melodrama and character to move the heartstrings while not embarrassing itself. What better way to spend a dreary, cold Saturday than inside with a bowl of popcorn and a movie with beautiful people romping about their romantic endeavors with time travel at their fingertips. For fans of treacly schmaltz like The Time Traveler's Wife, Love Actually, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and The Vow.
Many of my friends have shared their enthusiasm for the series House of Cards. I had never seen an episode but knew from awards shows that it was highly acclaimed. This political season seemed like a good time to watch it.
As my husband and I have been saying to each other as we have been binge watching season #1…is there anyone to like in this show or is everyone a back-stabbing, double-crossing politician?? So far the answer is NO….there is no one to like BUT it is very compelling.
My friends tell me I will be appalled at how Frank Underwood becomes President without being elected. If we watch enough episodes tonight, maybe he will be President by the morning.
This is just one of many good series in our AV collection. I have several on my list for watching this winter.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – Special needs students in Mobile County will soon have a new school to call their own.
The former Augusta Evans School on Florida Street is moving to West Mobile off Cody Road. Everywhere you look, construction and preparations are still being made to the new school, which will open at the beginning of summer.
The special needs school is the only one of its kind in Mobile County, according to school officials.
"We're actually giving them a new campus because of the existing campus has so many site restrictions," said MCPSS Building Operations Manager Tommy Sheffield.
Sheffield said the school is equipped with the latest and greatest features to comply with ADA standards including automatic sliding glass doors and lighting that turns on as you move near a sensor. Sheffield said building an entirely new school at a brand new location is more cost-effective and will last longer.
"I can come out here and build them a brand new school for the same value and not have an old facility with upgrades at the end of the day. Give them a brand new building that will carry them another 50 years," he said.
The special needs school, built by design, cost roughly $12.5 million to build and is over 80,000 square feet. It has a state-of-the-art playground, donated by Mobile Rotary, worth $250,000 along with greenhouses at $50,000 each.
"The doors, the handicap, the classrooms are very user-friendly. The restrooms have to be specially built and designed to fit those needs. There's a huge need for schools like we have here today. Bringing it out here, we have the growth, expand, and give them anything you can imagine to do that will help them have a better transition with their disabilities," said Sheffield.
Currently, about 300 students are enrolled at Augusta Evans. Sheffield said the new school is built for up to 500.
Students will remain at the current location until the end of the school year.

So it's summer and I wanted a dress. I barely changed up this easy and well-fitting pattern and here are the results. All fat quarters. 3 looks, 1 dress and 1 very happy Mama!
Don't forget the back! I almost didn't add pockets so I could reverse it. LOVE this Poodle fabric. Thanks Jennifer!

Continuous Availability Databases With IBM DB2 Version 9.5 and EMC SRDF
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Today's highly competitive business marketplace leaves little room for error in terms of availability, continuous operations, or recovery in the event of an unplanned outage. In today's connected world, an event that makes business data unavailable, even for relatively short periods of time, has the potential to be of major impact. Hence, today's mission-critical database systems must operate 24x7 with the highest degree of availability possible. As databases increase in size, and ad hoc queries place more demands on the continued availability of the system, the time and hardware resources required to back up and recover databases grows substantially while the maintenance windows are either drastically reduced or disappear completely.

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- A four-decade long Thanksgiving tradition is in jeopardy in Rock Hill. The Christian outreach group Feed the Hungry is in need of donations. The organization hands out turkeys and cooks a Thanksgiving fest for people in need. Dr. Ronal King says the need is higher than ever.
"If I don't get some help we will be extremely short, and we can't afford to be short because demand is the greatest ever. This is the worst I have seen it in 41 years," said Dr. King.

The Hong Kong Development Council's annual Asian Logistics and Maritime Conference is coming up in a couple of weeks, and it comes at what looks to be a critical time of change in one of the world's great trading cities.
Hong Kong officials have been playing up the city's identity as a logistics hub lately, but it's important to remember that Hong Kong's identity and very high profile4 in transportation isn't necessarily at the high end of the logistics market.
That's why some in the region believe Hong Kong's bid to establish itself as a hub for true logistics is a bit shallow and late to the game.
The trouble is, Hong Kong is squeezed by both its history and its geography. The Special Administrative Region of China benefits from its proximity to mainland China and the huge volume of goods that flow from the nearby factories in the Guangdong province. But that enormous flow of shipments through both the Port of Hong Kong and Hong Kong International Airport also limits the city even as mainland China tries to expand and extend its reach into the supply chain.
That's part of the strategy in Shanghai we described this year: The port and other operations in the city are trying to move up the supply chain value ladder in ways that challenge Hong Kong's advantages in financial and trade management services.
Closer to Hong Kong, Shenzhen is looking to compete with its own huge logistics fair, where there are growing signs that many in that city is deeply interested in making a serious move to add logistics sophistication to their role, and spread out from the mainland's huge but narrow place in supply chain to greater value add.
A speaker at a logistics forum attached to that trade fair — Zhou Gui Hui, chairman and CEO of Eternal Asia Supply Chain Management — described exactly that business model for his company, and how it fits into an approach he expects to see across China.

The iPhone 6 Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it's Apple's best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it, give the iPhone 6 Plus serious consideration.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
Possessing the right blend of features and design, the G3 finally gives LG the right phone with which to challenge Korean rival Samsung.
For an inexpensive tablet, the Fire HD 7 satisfies with a practical, family-friendly operating system, but those interested in a 7-inch tablet can find models with better build quality in the same price range.
Pricing not available
Lenovo's ThinkPad 10 can add accessories to work as a tablet, laptop or micro all-in-one. It has some premium features to match its premium price, but not a premium CPU.
Beats on-ear Bluetooth headphone has lot going for it, but it doesn't quite justify its lofty price tag.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
At $10, this impressive LED is a very safe bet in the lighting aisle.
With new CPUs, rearranged ports and improved graphics, the Mac Mini can be either a set-top media streamer or a budget OS X desktop.
The successor to the Oppo N1 skips a number and comes with an updated design and features -- including a motorised, rotating leatherette camera. No, really.

The trends described here were compiled in 2011 by the management team at the Karolinska Institute University Library in Sweden, and has been updated and rewritten for this occasion by the LOC, with input from the IPC. We apologise for any bias towards university libraries and/or Northern Europe/Scandinavia.
The trend descriptions should be used as inspirational texts and the starting point for the discussions during the workshop sessions. We think that the discussions will focus on the near future, 3-5 years into the future: 2017-2019.
The aim of the texts is to try to describe trends in the surrounding world that influences health libraries, and to contextualise library services. We list a total of eight trends, starting out with an article on overall global currents of change that influences the eight trends, and ending with a list of references used when writing the texts, which is currently updated.

U.S. Restrictions End for HIV+ Travelers From Abroad
CNN reports on the lifting of U.S. restrictions on HIV-positive travelers entering the country for visits or immigration, which take effect today. Here's an excerpt:
Tourists, business people and other foreign nationals who are HIV-positive will find it easier starting Monday to obtain short-term visas to visit the United States.
Advocates for HIV-positive people said the new policy was long overdue, calling it "a significant step forward for the United States."
"The end of the HIV travel and immigration ban is the beginning of a new life for countless families and thousands who had been separated because of this policy," said Steve Ralls, spokesman for Immigration Equality, a national rights organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV-positive individuals.
HIV-infected visitors previously had to obtain a special waiver from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to obtain a visa, a sometimes lengthy process.

Walk the Plank Designer Journal
Part One: Ancient History
by Evan Sass
In the mid-1990s some friends and I created a game company called Rubicon Games. We all shared a passion for gaming, and the enthusiasm one only has when entering the hobby gaming industry for the first time. We were under-funded, ill informed, and unfocused—and it sure was a lot of fun! Plus, we had a great company logo.
What we didn't have to start with was a product. Yep—we became a corporation and were selling shares and having board meetings, and we didn't even have anything to sell. Good thing we didn't quit our day jobs…
Creating games was definitely on all of our minds, of course, and we were full of ideas. We all played roleplaying games, along with card games, board games, computer games—you name it. We didn't have the capital to start with board games or computer games, and—at least to start with—we had nothing promising on the roleplaying game front.
One of the things left in our Big Bag o' Ideas was a fun, quick trick-taking card game that my friend Brian's brother used to play in the army with a deck of poker cards. Brian got the gist of the card game from his brother, and we set about reworking it, Now With Extra Fun!
The game Brian's brother played in the army had a name that was not quite ready for family game night. We changed one rather colorful yet often useful word into a much more boring word, and the game was now called Up the Creek.
Our vague marketing goals were for the game to have broad appeal and, like, to sell a lot and stuff. Given the game's new name, we needed appropriate suit icons for the suits. We settled on animals found in our near a creek, and the suits became fish, frogs, ducks, and beavers. We envisioned the game selling in gamestores, bookstores, education stores, and big department stores. Hey—we were a corporation, and needed to think big, even if our corporate wallet was tiny.
We didn't want it to use the four regular poker deck suits, since if anyone could just play it with a regular poker deck, well, why would they need us? That's right—they wouldn't. We added in a fifth suit, turtles, thus ensuring our usefulness to our future game buying public. As a big bonus, it turned out that the game became even more fun to play with the fifth suit.
One of our fellow Rubiconers suggested we add some extra cards with special game effects, so as to make game play more interesting. We came up with some fun but simple ones, and our game was complete!
We enlisted our friends, Brian's kids' friends, and the kids at the childcare where Brian's wife worked, to playtest the game for us. It was an instant hit. In fact, over a decade later, the kids at that childcare (I reckon they're not the same kids) still have a whole lot of fun playing the game.
Having an otherwise languishing degree in English Literature, it fell to me to write up the rules. I did so happily, but one thing led to another, and the game was never to be published by Rubicon Games, which is now long gone.
Astute readers have noticed that I have been talking about a game called Up the Creek, whereas this is a design journal for a game called Walk the Plank. Tune in next time to find out how the game transformed into a pirate game, and how it finally came to see the light of day after so long.

Average pot user consumes 123 joints per year, state estimates
State officials expect the average pot user to smoke 123 joints a year. But joints may be obsolete soon, so the state projects that consumers will use an equal amount of pot-laced edibles and concentrates like hash oil.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The state of Washington is counting on the average marijuana user to smoke a joint every three days.
Under the state's consumption estimate for a legal pot market, the math breaks down to 80 million joints, or the equivalent in pot, smoked by roughly 650,000 adults every year. That's 123 joints per user annually.
The state's consumption estimate is important because it drives licensing for pot production, including the number of growers and the size of their operations. Underestimating statewide consumption could hand customers to illicit dealers, according to state officials. Overestimating could lead to surplus weed being diverted to other states.
But the state recognizes that the joint is losing popularity, particularly with younger stoners. A panel discussion at the Drug Policy Alliance's upcoming biennial conference is even titled: "Is the joint obsolete?"
Edibles, topicals and concentrates, such as hash oil, have become so popular that the state figures the market for those products will be as large as the more traditional buds and flowers combusted in joints and pipes.
When the state-regulated system starts selling pot next year, consumers are expected to annually use 40 metric tons of buds and flowers, and another 40 metric tons of the so-called extracts: pot-infused edibles, liquids and topicals, plus hash oil in various forms called wax, shatter and budder.
Working from the state's own announcement of its revised rules, media — including The Seattle Times — had previously reported the state's consumption estimate was a total of 40 metric tons. But The Stranger's Ben Livingston recently reported that those 40 tons were only half the picture.
It's the half that deals with "usable marijuana" which the state law defines as buds and flowers, explained Randy Simmons, the state's marijuana project director. It's also usable marijuana that state consultants have been researching in a carefully constructed consumption model that should be completed and released next month, Simmons said.
It's harder to specifically study extracts, Simmons said, because previous surveys on pot use have tended not to differentiate among different ways of consumption. State officials figure that the market for extracts will roughly equal that for smoking.
Overall, state officials believe that usable marijuana consumption — legal and illegal — in Washington is 165 to 170 metric tons a year.
In the first year, the state-regulated legal recreational system is expected to capture about 25 percent of the overall market, or 40 tons.
That equals just over 40 million grams. If an average joint weighs 0.5 of a gram — some joints are bigger and some smaller, but Simmons said that's a reasonable estimate — consumers in Washington would light about 80 million joints, or the equivalent, a year.
According to federal government surveys, 13.4 percent of Washington state's population used pot in the previous year. That amounts to roughly 650,000 adults — and only those 21 and older can legally buy and possess weed under the state-regulated recreational system.
Dividing all those joints by all those adults yields 123 each per year, on average.
Some will use less and some will smoke more. State consultant Mark Kleiman says 80 percent of consumption is done by 20 percent of the users.

e from Presbyterian College Pac Sac, 1916
1880 - 1915
Recitation Hall
The original library collection at Presbyterian College was maintained by the Eukosmian Literary Society. In 1895, prompted by a large gift of books from J.R. Blake of Greenwood, the college took over the collection. It was housed in Recitation Hall, the original college building, which was located on the present-day Thornwell campus. During these early years, Prof. W.S. Bean served as part-time librarian.
The library was moved to the Administration Building (now Neville Hall), in 1908. The collection, which numbered over 5000 books, was one of the largest of any church college in the country. That same year, the college started to fund library operations, and allotted approximately $100 annually for such things as equipment and a card file. Beginning in 1913, students were charged a $1.00 library fee each year to help underwrite the budget.
1916 - 1937
In 1916 the library was moved into the newly constructed Jacobs Hall. There it shared space with science classrooms and labs and a basketball court. The new facility provided over 4000 square feet of library space, which served both the college and the community. The budget was also increased, with $1000 per year being provided for operating costs. In 1916 Rev. S.C. Caldwell replaced Prof. Bean as the librarian. He in turn was replaced by Henry M. Brimm, who served until 1925. Mr. Brimm was later the librarian at Union Theological Seminary in Richmond. At the time of his departure, the library contained over 10,000 volumes.

In 1923 Prof. F. Dudley Jones began a process that would result in one of the library's most significant collections. He gathered all of the volumes on the history and literature of South Carolina into one single collection of Caroliniana. He later added to these materials his own personal library. Later gifts by his daughter, Louise Jones Dubose, and PC alumnus J. Isaac Copeland have made the Jones South Carolina Collection a significant resource for the study of South Carolina history.
|When Henry Brimm left PC, he was replaced by Helen Lane Comfort. When she left in 1928, she was succeeded by Willard Jones, who served until 1941. Jones, who was responsible for a significant re-organization of the library collection, also served as the college's alumni secretary. In 1929, he accepted yet another significant gift for the library from Pelzer industrialist Ellison Adger Smyth. This important group of materials includes several hundred books on the history, development, and culture of South Carolina, many of them quite rare. The library collection increased yet again when Rev. W.I. Sinnott gave over 9000 volumes, as well as thousands of unbound pamphlets and magazines, in 1937.

|1938 - 1973
The increasing size of the collection, as well as the resulting increased use by students and citizens of Clinton, caused severe overcrowding in Jacobs Hall. In addition, students studying in the library were constantly disturbed by classes and other activities held in the building. In 1938 the college deeded a lot on the corner of Broad Street to the city of Clinton. The city then applied for federal funds to finance construction of a building under the Works Progress Administration. When it opened in 1942, the new building functioned as a joint college-community library. The combined collections numbered over 25,000 volumes.
Willard Jones resigned his post to join the armed forces, and was replaced by acting librarian J. Isaac Copeland. After serving for several years, Copeland left the college; he was later to become director of the Southern Historical Collection at the University of North Carolina. In 1945 he was replaced by Marian Burts, who was to work in the library until 1975, spending her final seven years as the periodicals librarian.

Lennart Pearson
1974 - Present
By the late 1960s, the library contained 63,000 volumes, and was again experiencing growing pains. Discussions were begun which were to lead to the construction of a new library facility. At this same time, the college hired Lennart Pearson of Union Theological Seminary as the new librarian. PC also bought out the city's share in the library, enabling the city to build its own library, and the college to pursue its own plans. After several years of planning and construction, the James H. Thomason Library was dedicated in 1974.
Funded by a large gift from Laurens County native James H. Thomason and his wife, Sarah, the new facility provided space for over 175,000 volumes. The Eugene T. Wilson Learning Center, located on the ground floor, provided a small auditorium, audio-visual facilities, and teaching resources for elementary, secondary, special, and Christian education. The Dillard-Elliott Room on the second floor, which memorializes James Dillard, an early Laurens County physician, and Charles B. Elliott, a Columbia attorney, houses the Smyth Collection and parts of the Jones South Carolina Collection.
Dr. Pearson retired as director of the library in 1997. He was replaced by Dr. N. Douglas Anderson. Following Dr. Anderson's resignation, he was replaced by David Chatham in 2004. By that time, after serving the college so well for 30 years, the Thomason Library was again in need of expansion. That year, ground was broken for a 15,000 square foot addition to provide additional study space and larger facilities for archives and special collections and the media center. A significant part of this new addition, named the Russell-Arnold Archives, was made possible by a gift from Ernest and Frances Arnold. Part of this new facility was dedicated in March of 2006, with other phases to be completed later.

Four weeks ago, I started using a training program by Hal Hingdon and today was my 'test run'. I ran the Recycle Run 5K in Minneapolis this morning. It was rough. I tend to start out badly and don't get into a good groove until 3K or so. When I saw the clock at the finish line, I was surprised to see it say 26'20". I'll take it. I have a feeling that getting under 25 minutes is a pipe dream for a woman my age, but I'll keep trying.
