Database A collection of information stored in an electronic format that can be searched by a computer.3 The information can be, for example, the bibliographic records in a library catalog or the articles in a research (article) database. Databases are composed of records. Each article in a research database is a record. Records are composed of fields. For example, the fields of a database article (record) include the articles title, author, source or journal name, abstract, and subjects. These fields can be searched with field codes such as ti, au, so, jn, ab, and su.

A | C - E | F - I | J - M | N - R | S - ZField codes A database is composed of records. Records are composed of fields. For example, a library catalog is a database of bibliographic records. Each bibliographic record represents an item (e.g., book, video) in the librarys collection. In article databases or research databases, each record is an article. The fields of an article, for example, include the title, author, abstract, subject, and source, or the journal or magazine in which the article was initially published. A field code is a two-letter abbreviation that identifies or represents one of these fields. The codes for the previous five fields are ti, au, ab, su and so, respectively. These codes can be used in a database search. They tell the database to look in specific fields for terms in the search. For example, in an article-database search, ti chocolate tells the database to look for articles with the term chocolate in article titles.
Fields The parts of each record in a database. The fields in a record can include, for example, title, author, abstract, subject, source, publisher, publication date, and publication location.
Full-text A complete electronic copy of a resource, usually an article, viewed on a computer display screen. The term full-text is often used to refer to the electronic version of an article or book that is also published in print.3 In article databases, full-text is commonly in either PDF or HTML.
Hardback, Hardcover A book bound in an inflexible board case or cover, usually covered in cloth, paper, plastic, leather, or some other durable material, as distinct from a book bound in a cover made of flexible material.1

Librarians Professionally trained persons responsible for the care of a library and its contents, including the selection, processing, and organization of materials and the delivery of information, instruction, and loan services to meet the needs of its users.1 In the United States, librarians have a masters degree in Library and Information Science. Librarians employed at a college or university frequently must have a second masters degree. Reference librarians work at the reference desk, provide bibliographic instruction, maintain the library collection of information resources, liaise with faculty across campus, and perform other important duties.
Library vs. Extended Learning Center (ELC) Library. The library supports and supplements the courses taught at Lone Star College Montgomery. This means that the library faculty members teach classes about the librarys resources and how to efficiently and effectively use them so you waste as little time as possible finding the information you need. It also means the librarys collection of information resources (e.g., books, journals, videos) provides additional explanations, perspectives, and details about the topics you are taught in class to help give you a broader and clearer understanding of those topics. ELC. The ELC offers free tutoring, access to computer hardware and software, workshops, and professionally facilitated study groups. Tutoring and specialized computer software are offered in subjects such as allied health (e.g., nursing, radiologic technology), business, computers, math, sciences, reading, writing, and languages, including American Sign Language. Other software includes programming languages, keyboarding tutorials, and a variety of products from Microsoft, Adobe, and Macromedia.
Library card vs. Student ID Library card. A small paper or plastic card issued by a library to a registered borrower that must be presented at the circulation desk in order to check out materials from its collection. Identification is usually required of new applicants. In most libraries in the United States, library cards are barcoded for electronic circulation.1 Student ID. The photo identification card available to Lone Star College Montgomery students. When activated, the student ID also serves as a library card. The 14-digit barcode number on the back of the card also allows remote access to the librarys article databases. You can also add money to your student ID so it will serve as a debit card you can use to pay for printing in either the library or the ELC.
Library catalog See Catalog.
Library collection The total accumulation of books and other materials owned by a library, cataloged and arranged for ease of access, which often consists of several smaller collections (reference collection, circulating collection, serials, government documents, rare books, special collections, etc.).1
Limiters; limiting a search Limiters are options used in searching that restrict your results to only information resources meeting certain other, non-subject-related, criteria. Limiting options vary by database, but common options include limiting results to materials available full-text in the database, to scholarly publications, to materials written in a particular language, to materials available in a particular location, or to materials published at a specific time.3 Materials can also be limited to a particular format, such as DVD.
Magazine A publication, issued on a regular basis, containing popular articles, written and illustrated in a less technical manner than the articles found in a journal.3
Jump to a section . . .
A | C - E | F - I | J - M | N - R | S - ZNarrow a search Using various ways to reduce the number of results retrieved when searching a library catalog or article databases. These ways include limiting the publication date, adding keywords to the search using the Boolean operators AND or NOT, using a proximity operator, and using field codes.
Newspaper A serial publication, usually printed on newsprint and issued daily, on certain days of the week, or weekly, containing news, editorial comment, regular columns, letters to the editor, cartoons, advertising, and other items of current and often local interest to a general readership.1
OPAC Online Public Access Catalog. See Catalog.
Paperback A book published in paper covers, rather than in hardcover, usually adhesive bound. Paperback editions are normally published after the hardcover edition of the same title and sold at a lower price.1
PDF Portable Document Format; a file format.
Peer-reviewed journal A journal that requires an article to be subjected to a process of critical evaluation by one or more experts on the subject, known as referees, responsible for determining if the subject of the article falls within the scope of the publication and for evaluating originality, quality of research, clarity of presentation, etc.1 Peer-reviewed journals are also called refereed or scholarly journals.3
Periodical An information source published in multiple parts at regular intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, biannually). Journals, magazines, and newspapers are all periodicals.3 They are also serials.
Plagiarism Copying or closely imitating the work of another writer, composer, etc., without permission and with the intention of passing the results off as original work.1
Primary source In scholarship, a document or record containing firsthand information or original data on a topic, used in preparing a derivative work. Primary sources include original manuscripts, articles reporting original research or thought, diaries, memoirs, letters, journals, photographs, drawings, posters, film footage, sheet music, songs, interviews, government documents, public records, eyewitness accounts, newspaper clippings, etc.1
Print card Here at Lone Star College Montgomery, this is a plastic card to which money can be added so the card can be used to pay for either printing or photocopying.
Proximity operator A proximity operator can be included in a search of article databases to specify that records will be retrieved only if the keywords typed as search terms appear within a designated number of words of each other or within the same sentence or paragraph.1 Proximity operators are database-specific and include n for near and w for within.
Records The main units that comprise a database. For example, in article databases, each article is a record. Each record is composed of fields that can be searched with field codes.
Refereed journal See Peer-reviewed journal.
Reference collection Books not meant to be read cover to cover, such as dictionaries, handbooks, and encyclopedias, shelved together by call number in a special section of the library called the reference stacks. Reference books may not be checked out because they are needed by librarians to answer questions at the reference desk. Their location and circulation status is usually indicated by the symbol R or Ref preceding the call number in the catalog record and on the spine label.1
Reference desk A desk usually located near the reference collection and staffed by reference librarians who help people find the information they need and explain how to use the library and its resources.
Reference librarians Professionally trained librarians whose duties include providing service at the reference desk, performing collection development, providing bibliographic instruction, and other important functions.
Remote access The ability to log onto (or access) networked computer resources from a distant location. Remote access makes available library databases to students researching from home, office, or other locations outside the library.3
Renewal An extension of the loan period for a book or other item, usually for the length of the normal borrowing period.1
Research databases At Lone Star College Montgomery, these are huge collections of the electronic version of reputable magazine, journal, newspaper, and encyclopedia articles and other document types. Over 100 such databases are available.
Research guides Printed or online resources that provide detailed information, instructions, and advice concerning the best strategies, techniques, and resources for research in a subject or field of study.1 At Lone Star College Montgomery, these are online handouts primarily aimed at students. The handouts offer information on a variety of topics. For example, they might provide a representative list of library resources about a subject such as economics, give tips or instructions about performing a task such as accessing article databases from home, compare particular resources such as consumer and scholarly publications, or show how to cite information resources in a specific bibliographic style such as APA or MLA.
Reserves In academic libraries, materials given a shorter loan period (one-hour, three-hour, overnight, three-day, etc.) for a limited length of time (usually one term or semester) at the request of the instructor, to ensure that all the students enrolled in a course have an opportunity to use them.1
Results list A series of information sources (e.g., books, videos, articles) retrieved when searching an electronic resource such as a library catalog or article databases.
Jump to a section . . .
A | C - E | F - I | J - M | N - R | S - ZScholarly journal See Journal and Peer-reviewed journal.
Secondary source Any published or unpublished work that is one step removed from the original source, usually describing, summarizing, analyzing, evaluating, derived from, or based on primary source materials, for example, a review, critical analysis, second-person account, or biographical or historical study.1
Serials Publications such as journals, magazines, and newspapers that are generally published multiple times per year, month, or week.3
Spine label A small typed or printed label affixed to the lower spine of a book or other bibliographic item at the time it is processed, displaying its location symbol and call number, for use in reshelving and to assist the user in retrieving the item from the shelf once the call number has been found in the library catalog.1
Stacks Shelves in the library where materials?typically books?are stored. Books in the stacks are normally arranged by call number. May be referred to as book stacks.3
Student ID See Library card vs. Student ID
Subject heading The most specific word or phrase that describes the subject, or one of the subjects, of a work [e.g., book, video], selected from a list of preferred terms (controlled vocabulary).1
Subject search Searching information resources such as a library catalog or research database for works (e.g., book, video, article) with the search terms in their subject. A search restricted to the subject field. See Fields.
Title search Searching information resources such as a library catalog or research database for works (e.g., book, video, article) with the search terms in their title. A search restricted to the title field. See Fields.
Truncation A database-search technique that allows you to search for records that contain variations of the search term to which truncation was applied. For example, distribut* will look for records that contain variations of the term distribute. These variations include distribute, distributes, distributed, distributing, distributor, distributors, distribution, and distributions. Note that these eight variations all have this initial string of nine letters in common: d-i-s-t-r-i-b-u-t. So, the truncation symbol?the asterisk in this case?is applied to distribute after this shared, common string of letters. Truncate means to shorten or cut off, so in this case, the e in distribute was cut off to shorten the term to the common string of nine letters and then replaced with the asterisk.
Upload To transmit a copy of one or more files from a local computer to the hard disk of another (usually more remote) computer, such as a mainframe or network server, a process that may require terminal emulation software. The opposite of download.1 To transfer information from a networked computer to the networks server.
Wildcard A database-search technique that allows the user to insert a special character in the middle of a search term in a keyword(s) search, to retrieve records or sites containing words with any character or no character in the position. The wildcard symbol is not standardized.1 For example, the question mark (?) and the pound sign (#) are the wildcard characters in the EBSCO databases available to students at Lone Star College Montgomery.
World-Wide Web A global network of Internet servers providing access to documents written in a script called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) that allows content to be interlinked, locally and remotely.1 A network of information, as a part of the Internet, that includes text, graphics, sounds, and moving images. Also known as the Web or WWW or W3. It incorporates a variety of Internet tools into one method of access, such as the Web browser Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox.3

The recent bat mitzvah of wealthy young New Yorker Elizabeth Brooks was no mere coming-of-age ceremony. It was a star-studded concert event, as members of Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, and Ciara took turns serenading a gaggle of 13-year-old girls.
When photos and eyewitness accounts of the show started circulating online, a larger question arose: Just how common are these offbeat gigs, from weddings to business functions to charity bashes? ''Celebrities do like doing these little parties,'' says Tom Cestaro of Celebrities Plus Inc., an entertainment marketing agency. A big reason, of course, is cash. ''Depending on the size of the [act], it could be $25,000 to half a million dollars or more.'' Name acts are now the norm at home shows, health and beauty expos, and other things you'd hear advertised on AM radio. (The North American International Auto Show even coaxed Rev Run and Coolio to make appearances this year!)
But what's the cost to celebrities' reps? Publicists and agents almost universally refuse to discuss the matter of private appearances on the record, which lends them an air of illicit mystery. According to Cestaro, however, ''Even though they are getting paid for it, it sort of humanizes [these stars]. Like, they're not on the red carpet, they're not at an awards show, they're at a banquet hall in Syosset, Long Island.''
New York publicist Lizzie Grubman (she has repped Ja Rule and Jay-Z, among others) sees plenty of upside. ''These artists' fan base is kids. What's compromising about that? With all due respect, if I was 50 Cent, I would be proud to perform.'' Full disclosure: At Grubman's first wedding, in 1995, the band was the Village People.

"Senior General Than Shwe and Vice-Senior General Maung Aye retired on March 30 after handing over power to the new government. They are staying at their homes in Naypyidaw. We cannot say their plan for the future. So far they are taking a rest," a Myanmar official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The army hierarchy retains a firm grip on power in the resource-rich Southeast Asian country, and many analysts believe 78-year-old Than Shwe will have a significant role behind the scenes.
"Although they are retired, they will give some advice when the government asks for it," a second official said.
The SPDC, previously known as the State Law and Order Restoration Council, took power in 1988, but Myanmar has been under military authority since 1962 and the generals continue to dominate the impoverished nation.
Portraits of Than Shwe still hang in government offices and many civil servants are apparently unsure if he has officially retired, sources said.
Thein Sein, the new president, was one of a clutch of generals who shed their army uniforms to contest the elections last year and are now civilian members of a parliament dominated by the military and its political proxies.
Than Shwe -- said to be a keen Manchester United fan -- had kept the world guessing about his intentions following the country's first election in 20 years in November.
Retiring is a gamble as Than Shwe knows only too well, having put his predecessor, the late dictator Ne Win, under house arrest in 2002 after his family members were convicted of plotting to overthrow the regime.
Born in 1933 in a small town near Mandalay, Than Shwe enlisted in the army aged 20 as Myanmar, also known as Burma, emerged from colonial rule.
His first combat experience came as a young second lieutenant fighting separatist rebels, before being posted to a roving psychological warfare unit and rising swiftly through the ranks.
He took the helm in 1992 after previous dictator Ne Win stepped down following a failed 1988 student-led uprising.
Than Shwe's successor as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, 54-year-old Min Aung Hlaing, is part of a younger generation of Myanmar generals.
He was head of the Defence Services Academy and a commander in the so-called Golden Triangle, a region near the country's borders with Laos and Thailand notorious for drug trafficking.
The formation of a parliament, convened for the first time at the end of January, takes the country towards the final stage of the junta's so-called "roadmap" to a "disciplined democracy".
Suu Kyi has no voice in the new parliament. Her National League for Democracy party was disbanded for opting to boycott the vote because the rules seemed designed to bar her from participating.
The election, and Suu Kyi's release from house arrest a few days later, have reignited a debate about economic sanctions enforced by the United States and European Union because of Myanmar's human rights abuses.

A got a quote of $1500 to install an electric water heater (I almost fell over). Can I pull the permit and legally do it my self(I do have the skills to sweat copper and make the connections)? I am concerned about liabilty down the road if I ever sell. By the way, the quote did NOT include the water heater. |

Around here a homeowner can take a test to qualify to do simple electrical and plumbing repairs to their OWN home. With the test you have to meet code and pass inspection just like a pro. Check with your local building, electrical, and plumbing authority. |
- Posted by lazypup (email@example.com) on Fri, Mar 11, 11 at 1:58
Here is a situation where the homeowner must understand the technical difference between Pluming & Maintenance. Plumbing is defined as the act of initially installing or altering an existing system. Maintenance is defined as physically repairing or maintaining an existing system provided you do not alter the original layout or increase loads. In nearly all jurisdictions the property owner or his/her delegated representatives may perform maintenance. If you are removing a defective WH and replacing it with the same type and size of WH that is a maintenance activity but, even when performing maintenance you are required to make the installation in accordance with existing codes at the time of the change. Generally maintenance does not require a permit, but check with your local AHJ because many areas are now requiring permits for WH. |
I have lived in a number of jurisdictions that will only allow the replacement of faucet washers without a permit. They do not inspect most of the time (even if a permit IS pulled) though, and homeowners routinely thumbs there nose at them and do work. |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Sat, Mar 12, 11 at 11:45
In my locale a permit is required to install OR replace a WH whether NG, LP, or electric. A mini-test is available for a homeowner to qualify to replace a WH, but not the gas part so you still need a plumber with a gas ticket for that. A permit IS required. Most licensed plumbers around here do not pull permits to replace a WH and are in violation of their license but that's another story. A ways back there was a local guy who didn't pull a permit to replace his water heater and didn't get a licensed plumber with a gas ticket to do the job. There was an explosion in his garage after a period of time and his homeowner's insurance did not pay the claim. The guy took the insurance company to court and lost. The morale of the story is to check with YOUR local authority regarding regarding the requirements and permits necessary and then YOU KNOW. As rarely as homeowner's need to replace WHers the cost of a plumber is amortized over a (hopefully) long period of time and it's just something it is smarter to do in case something goes wrong. |
"There was an explosion in his garage after a period of time and his homeowner's insurance did not pay the claim. The guy took the insurance company to court and lost. " Every time I have actually checked into the details of "insurance did not pay" it has proven incorrect. Unless there is a specific exclusion in a policy you are insured for your own mistakes. |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Sun, Mar 13, 11 at 10:34
Every time? IIRC the Fire Marshal determined that the gas line connection to the water heater contributed to the explosion. It was a new water heater and the homeowner could not provide a receipt from a licensed plumber for installation or a permit. In this locale a permit is required for water heater replacement. The insurance company did not pay the claim and the court agreed. |

All the King's Men Love Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
"I love you, Mother," I said. "I'll always love you." (3.39)
This is six-year-old Jack's response to his mother's statement that Ellis left because he didn't love her. We can be pretty sure by the end of the story that Jack's six-year-old promise is upheld. Jack will always love his mother, more so now that he knows that she too is capable of love.
I asked: "What about love?"
I was perfectly sure that the Judge had has his innings, but I was also perfectly sure that nobody around the Landing had anyone on him in that respect. (4.135-6)
Boy, was Jack wrong about that. This also shows just how well the Judge and Mrs. Murrell have kept their secret. The only other person who knows is Ellis Burden, and he appears to have permanently wiped it from his memory.
[Anne Stanton:] "Sure, I love you, Jackie-Boy, Jackie-Jackie Bird, who said I didn't love poor old Jackie-Bird?" (7.82)
She's probably telling the truth. After the incident, though, Anne might be confused about what love means. We certainly think that Jack is confused.

Days of Summer
By Bill Chenevert
Monday, June 30: Beatmaker Andrew Butler's disco dance collective Hercules and Love Affair have been on heavy rotation on our iPods for months (read Popnography's review here). The first single, "Blind", featuring Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons), has already been remixed by DJs smart enough to see the huge dance-floor potential in every Hercules track. The video for the next single, "You Belong", with the gorgeous and talented Nomi on vocals, is sheer camp, full of voguing and funky fashion. If you haven't already, snatch up the album here or risk being out of touch. Also, rediscover your favorite post-rock Icelandic innovators, Sigur R's, whose new album, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust, boasts a more upbeat yet still lovely set of ethereal gems. Check out their skin-filled joyful romp through nature in the fanastic video for first single "Gobbledigook" -- you can download and watch it here.

At the Steaming Bean, we love not only the taste of coffee, but the culture of it as well. And we think it's fun for everybody to be in the "know". So next time you feel utterly confused by the lingo in a local coffee shop, refer back to our lexicon for all of the translations.
Acidity | The sharp lively quality characteristic of high-grown coffee, tasted mainly at the tip of the tongue. The brisk, snappy quality that makes coffee refreshing. It is NOT the same as bitter or sour and has nothing to do with pH factors. Coffees are low in acidity, between 5 and 6 on the pH scale. |
Americano | A shot or two of espresso that has been poured into a glass filled with hot water. |
Aroma | The fragrance of brewed coffee. The smell of coffee grounds is referred to as the Bouquet |
Bag | A burlap sack of coffee. In various countries it is a different weight. For example: Brazil a bag is 132 pounds. Colombia it is 154 pounds. In Hawaii it is 100 pound. (132 lbs is the most common.) |
Barista | A person who makes coffee drinks as a profession. |
Batch Roaster | A machine which roasts a given quantity at one time. It does not continually roast beans. There is an identifiable start and end time to the roasters capabilities. |
Bitter | The taste perceived at the back of the tongue. Dark Roasts are intentionally bitter. Over-extraction (too little coffee at too fine a grind) can cause a bad bitterness. |
Bland | The pale flavor often found in low grown robusta coffees. Also caused by under-extraction (too little coffee or too course a grind). |
Blend | A mixture of two or more individual varietals of coffee. |
Body | The tactile impression of the weight of the coffee in the mouth. May range from thin to medium to full to buttery to syrupy. |
Bright | Tangy acidity is often described as bright. |
Briny | The salty sensation caused by excessive heat after brewing (truck-stop coffee). |
Caffe Americano | Espresso that is cut with very hot water to fill an American size cup. |
Caffe Mocha | This can be prepared a variety of ways. Basically this is a chocolate cafe latte. Often prepared with whipped cream on top. |
Cappuccino | Cappuccino gets its name from the Italian order of Catholic Capuchin monks, whose hooded robes resemble the drink's cap of foam in shape and color. The frothed milk from the top of the steaming pitcher is spooned on top to "cap" the cappuccino and retain heat. The proportion of espresso to steamed and frothed milk for cappuccino is usually 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk on top. |
Cupping | While tasting wine is called "tasting", tasting coffee is called "cupping". |
Demitasse | A small (1/2 size) cup used for serving espresso. It is a French term meaning 'half cup'. |
Doppio | A double shot of espresso. Also see solo. |
Caffeine | The drug contained in coffee. A bitter white alkaloid derived from coffee (or tea) and used in medicine for a mild stimulant or to treat certain kinds of headache. |
Crema | The caramel colored foam that appears on top of a shot of espresso during the brewing period. It soon dissipates after brewing. If your Crema is gone then you waited too long...or you received a bad shot! The crema makes a 'cap' which helps retain the aromatics and flavors of the espresso within the cup - the presence of crema indicates an acceptable brew.... Crema is due to colloids and lipids forced out into an emulsion under the pressure of a espresso machine. |
Earthy | The spicy "of the earth taste" of Indonesian coffees. |
Espresso | A brewing method that extracts the heart of the bean. It was invented in Italy at the turn of the century. A pump-driven machine forces hot water through fine grounds at around nine atmospheres of pressure. It should take between 18 to 23 seconds to extract a good shot. This will produce from 3/4 to one ounce of great liquid. This produces a sweet, thick and rich, smooth shot of espresso. Comes from the Latin word "Expresere" which means "to press out." |
Espresso Breve | Espresso with half and half. |
Espresso Lungo | A shot that is pulled long for a bit of extra espresso. While many believe this maximizes the caffeine, in most shops this merely produces a bitter cup. |
Espresso Macchiato | Espresso with a minimal amount (or "mark") of steamed milk on top. |
Espresso Ristretto | Literally "restricted" espresso. A shorter draw. The goal being a thicker and more flavorful espresso. |
Exotic | Unusual aromatic and flavor notes, such as berry or floral. |
Flavor | The total impression of Aroma , Acidity , and Body. |
French Press | A device for making coffee in which ground coffee is steeped in water. The grounds are then removed from the coffee by means of a filter plunger which presses the grounds to the bottom of the pot. Also referred to as a plunger pot. |
French Roast | Dark Roasted. Taste bittersweet but not like burnt charcoal. |
Froth or Foam | Milk which has been made thick and foamy by aerating it with hot steam. |
Hard Bean | Coffee grown at relatively high altitudes, 4,000 to 4,500 feet. Coffee grown above 4,500 feet is referred to as strictly hard bean. This terminology says that beans grown at higher altitudes mature more slowly and are harder and denser than other beans and are thus more desirable. |
Latte | A shot or two of espresso that has been poured into a cup filled with steamed milk and topped off with foamed milk (about a 1/4"). |
Mocha | A small irregular bean. Has a unique acid character. Generally shipped from Mocha Yemen. It is sometimes mixed with coffee shipped from Mocha Yemen. |
Monsooned Coffee | coffee deliberately exposed to monsoon winds in open warehouse to increase body and reduce acidity. |
Peaberry | Normally, each coffee cherry contains two beans. Occasionally, a cherry will form with only one bean. These are called peaberries and are frequently separated and sold as its own distinct varietal. New Guinea is one of the more popular ones. |
Ristretto | This is the strongest and most concentrated espresso drink. It is made with about half the amount of water but the same amount of coffee as a regular espresso. It is pure, intense, and wonderful in taste. Ristretto in Italian means "restricted." |
Solo | A single shot of espresso. Also see doppio. |
Soft Bean | Describes coffee grown at relatively low altitudes (under 4,000 ft). Beans grown at lower altitudes mature more quickly and produce a lighter, more porous bean. |
Spicy | The flavor of particular spices. |
Stale | Coffee that has been exposed to oxygen for too long. It becomes flat and has a cardboard taste. |
Sweet | Smooth and palatable coffee that is free from defects and harsh flavors. |
Tone | The appearance or color of coffee. i.e. "This light toned coffee resembles the brown robes of the Franciscan Order." |
Varietal | The term used for the coffee that comes from a geographical region. A Sumatra, Kenya, Costa Rica or a Java are varietals. As in wine...soil, climate and cultivation methods affect the taste of your coffee. The term varietal is actually a misnomer, since Arabica coffee plants are basically of the same species, unlike wine grapes which come from different species of grape vines. |
Winy | A flavor reminiscent of fine red wine. Kenya is one of the most notables. |

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..."
On March 22nd, 2014, there was a regional prayer in Chicago, Illinois. Many came together from different locations in what turned out to be a very blessed gathering. There were individuals from Rochester, Lexington, Cleveland, Columbus, and many other cities. It is amazing to see one main focus unites us all: seeking God, a way of which is through prayer. When everyone came together in the name of Christ, there were testimonies of how powerful God is and the work He does to change lives. There were powerful prayers and many didn't want to leave their knees but wanted to continue pouring their hearts out before God. There was a sermon about peace and happiness found only in Jesus Christ, a message to bring individuals to God and give everything to Him, and a testimony of how God saved a young man from drug addiction. At the end, Alex Yakobchuk shared a teaching on properly serving God and seeking Him with all our time.
After this amazing prayer, the regional youth leader, Vitaliy Tkach, invited all churches to come together at the SFG land near Akron, Ohio to begin work on various useful building projects. These include: a Bible School and an area for youth camps. The 2014 SFG Bible School administrator, Vitalik Maksimchenko, presented information about what will take place at the School in Rochester, New York and invited all the desiring individuals to sign up. Afterwards everyone went down to the basement and had fellowship with classic and delicious Slavic food. Then people split up: some went downtown, others went to play sports, and some went home.
The big take away from such an event: prayer is needed in every single Christian's life. Without a connection to God, it is impossible to understand what He wants to do in our lives and what we need to do for Him. Continue praying for the youth of this region so God may guide us, give us a concrete vision to move forward, and empower us to do His will! May you all be blessed!

A study of autism
Abba Krieger, Ph.D.
Andreas Buja, Ph.D.
University of Pennsylvania
The Simons Simplex Collection, a repository of data on 2,000 families affected by autism, is a rich source of information for epidemiologic studies. However, because the data are collected at numerous institutions using a variety of methods, detecting meaningful trends across the entire collection will require serious statistical firepower. Abba Krieger and his colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School plan to undertake this arduous task.
The data — collected from children with autism, their parents and unaffected siblings — include demographics, medical histories of the affected children and their families, and results of various social and intelligence tests. Krieger has assembled a team of statisticians, mathematicians, bioinformatics experts and other researchers to review the data for accuracy, standardize it, and organize it into forms that are useful for statistical analyses.
The researchers propose to comb the data for relationships between autism and demographic and environmental variables, and explore associations between data from the affected children and their family members. The researchers also plan to look for 'clusters' of individuals with similar data, which might provide insight into the variety of disorders that make up the autism spectrum. The analyses may also turn up variables or combinations of variables that are useful in predicting disease outcomes. Besides contributing to the understanding of autism and its causes, findings from this study may lead to the development of new statistical tools, and applications for handling large and diverse collections of data.

My friend and I are developing a zombie-survival game with UDK, and we're working on implementing some melee weapons. We would like for the player to lose some stamina when swinging a baseball bat, but we're not quite sure where that would be handled programmatically - we were thinking probably the InventoryManager class, since that interfaces with a pawn and handles the firing functions. I'm just not sure how to go about adding the functionality, and any help or a nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated.

LiuGong Machinery to develop new line of rollers
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On April 28, 2010 @ 12:04 pm In Trade Show Coverage | No Comments
Chinese heavy construction equipment manufacturer LiuGong Machinery Corporation unveiled its plans at Bauma 2010 to introduce new models.
LiuGong Vice President David Beatenbough said the company is developing new rollers — a complete range of bulldozers and a new grader, according to a report from the Bauma Daily News.
The company is also upgrading a paver for export, while contemplating large excavators and stressing the importance of mobile cranes, having just opened a new crane factory, according to the report.
The report also noted that the company plans to build a new mini excavator plant in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, 250 km from Shanghai.
The investment is €74.5 million (US$100 million) and it is planned the factory will produce 10,000 units per year, according to the report.

My name is Chulo!
Facts about Chulo
- Breed: Boston Terrier/Cattle Dog Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Chulo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi! my name is Chulo and I am looking for a loving furever home. I was rescued from a very unsafe beach for dogs in Puerto Rico. I am residing at our Boston Sanctuary and everyone says I am beyond sweet and I love everyone :)). My favorite thing to do is snuggle and play with toys :)). I walk well on a leash and would be a great walking or hiking partner. I am about a year and a half old, about 20 lbs full grown, neutered, fully vetted and vaccinated and microchipped. If you would like to meet me please email email@example.com. Can't wait to meet you. Love and Kisses Chulo.
Other Pets at The Sato Project, Massachussetts
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chulo, a Brooklyn Boston Terrier/Cattle Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boston Terrier/Cattle Dog for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Boston Terrier/Cattle Dog dog from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boston Terrier/Cattle Dog breeders who help with Boston Terrier/Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

Why Come To This Revival? Why Here? Why Now?
A message of welcome from the Rev. Melanie Morel-Ensminger, past president of the UUCF and minister of First UU Church of New Orleans
It may seem strange, but it takes years to recover from a major disaster, even perhaps decades. Even now, nearly eight years after Hurricane Katrina and the failure of the federal levee system, many neighborhoods of New Orleans still show signs of trauma.
This house pictured which is next-door to First Church New Orleans was built in the 1920's when the Broadmoor neighborhood was developed and was once a showplace. Its owner, an elderly African-American woman now living in Mississippi, has never received the assistance she needs to repair and rebuild. It moulders, daily falling into disrepair, a stark symbol of what is happening in so many neighborhoods of the Crescent City, out of sight of the national media.
But it is not just solidarity with New Orleans that should draw people of faith – though that would be sufficient. It is also because we are caught, as Martin Luther King said, "in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny; what affects one directly, affects all indirectly." What is happening in New Orleans foreshadows what is happening under different contexts in every American city; lack of maintenance of important infrastructure elements leads directly to lack of care for the poorest and most vulnerable citizens of an urban area.
Why come to New Orleans, why now? Come because UUCF Revivals started here. Come because you are called to help, to learn, to grow in spiritual depth. Come because you are needed. Come because what you gain here will help you better understand your own city. Come for your own soul.

Noncompliance results in restricting use of the label. Eleven Rivers is developing a digital system that will report the Intertek results directly to members and probably to government authorities as well.
The annual fee covers label costs, promotions and auditing expenses.
For transparency's sake, Mariscal said, the coop framed its model in reference to the widely accepted tomato metrics published by the United Fresh Produce Association. In its first year, tomatoes were about 40% of labeled products.
The flurry of activity prompted by SENASICA's approval, as well as the co-op's experience at recent Produce Marketing Association Fresh Summits, prompted a reduced presence at this year's trade show.
"This is the first year we did not have a booth at PMA," Mariscal said. "It's a change of strategy. In the past three years we had some success, but there have not been many new people to meet. Because we're not reaching any new clients or markets, and we have a lot of work to do training auditors, our focus is more internal."

Just this morning an abundance of springs were caught biting down south. Richard guided his two guests to their limit by 9:30, Doug Jordan's anglers caught two, Trevor's guests hooked three and Russ's boat brought in another two. It was Bear's guest, Mike from Philadelphia, who got everyone's attention by blowing the air horn. He caught his 31.3 lb. Chinook at The Wall in Deepwater Bay. Nice job, Mike! James Werbicki of April Point cleaned up over the weekend, reeling in 14 and 26 lb. Chinook on Saturday and another one weighing in at 18 lbs. on Sunday. April Point guest Maggie Kirk also hooked two weighing an even 10 lbs.
Despite the recent luck with springs, they are pretty much done for the season and it's wild Coho that are now biting. Although we're not catching many yet, schools of Chum are also beginning to make appearances.
Spotted on yesterday's Whale Watch Adventure: A dozen orcas at Twin Islands, the a36s in Nodales Channel, approximately 100 dolphins at Horn Point in Cordero Channel and sea lions swimming near (and actually keeping up with) those dolphins! Yesterday a woman and her daughter came to the Guest Services desk with questions regarding our zodiac tours. Her daughter wanted to go whale watching for her birthday this Sunday but was worried that it would be too late. I did a double take of the calendar once I realized that the whale watching season ends this Sunday! Time is just flying by. That being said we still have tours scheduled to leave each day until then and we hope the good luck continues to the bitter (it's not bitter at all) end.
Days are getting shorter and the air is a bit chillier but it's still worth being outside in this magnificent fall sunshine. Yesterday marked the final evening of Jazz at the Point and as I waited on the dock for the water taxi home I marvelled at the sunset just like I marvelled at the sunrise from the Painter's dock this morning.
Only 2 days left until Tastes of April Point!
See you in a few,

Apr 7th 2011 11:20AM "Yes, all class quests were removed with Cataclysm. There might be one or two still around in some other, non-class form, but I don't know of them if they are."
This isn't true, unless you meant to specify "all [original] class quests..." -- my Shaman was recently given a Shaman class quest for BRD. Wowhead says it was actually added in 4.0.3, so I would guess there are some other new ones for other classes.
Living Elements alchemy transmute proc changed {WoW}
Feb 10th 2011 4:41PM The proc is definitely not guaranteed -- I didn't get any on my first Living Elements transmute post-patch. The wording in the article should definitely be updated to indicate that the rate has been INCREASED but not to 100%.

African girl names(suggestions please)
I really need some girl names with African origin.(someone let me pick a name for them)
I have gone through a lot of Swahili and Afrikaans names but haven't find anything I like except for Aisha, which is too popular for my taste and Bahoti, which causes pronunciation problems. I also like Amani(ka) but not sure if it is THE name.
Maybe some of you ladies are familiar with Afrikaans and/or Swahili names could give me some suggestions? I need to pick a name but I am not really satisfied with Aisha. Any ideas will be great

If your friend and/or the baby in question is black, they probably won't be too keen on an Afrikaans name.
Is your friend/baby Muslim? If not, don't use Aisha [it's Arabic, used widely in the Muslim world including North & West Africa]. Same with Amani, which is a local variant of Iman, "faith."
What part of the continent is your friend interested in?Blade, MD

I think Amani/Imani are very pretty but in my head they're very Arabic names, and I probably would be surprised to meet a non-Muslim named either. Is your friend Muslim?
I've spent a lot of time in Uganda and have a lot of friends there, and whilst they tend to have Biblical or virtue names, I met a Ugandan woman who's daughters where Miremba (mee-rehm-bah) and Dembe (dem-bay), both coming from the Luganda word for Peace which I think are just so beautiful.
[I've just realised Mirembe has been suggested already - it's lovely].Last edited by oliviasarah; April 12th, 2013 at 02:31 PM.

LightPlex is a skin-lightening lotion that contains some ingredients that have skin-lightening ability (including alpha-arbutin), but irritates skin with a long list of essential oils, including lime, bergamot, and lemon, all of which are photosensitizing and can cause pigmentation problems when skin is exposed to sunlight. Talk about getting nowhere fast! Check out the skin-lightening products from Paula's Choice or philosophy (or alternative options such as Even Better Clinical from Clinique) before this faulty product.

Bioelements is a spa-and-salon sold skin-care line that was founded in 1991 by makeup artist turned aesthetician, Barbara Salomone. An interview with Salomone in the January/February 2006 issue of Renew magazine had statements from her indicating that aestheticians will soon be recognized as true skin-care professionals and her advice to newcomers is to get as much education as you can. To that end, Bioelements has seven education centers across the United States. However, if they're teaching established and upcoming aestheticians about Bioelements products, we are worried. Few spa lines subject skin to the irritating ingredients dispersed through well over half of the products this line offers. If that isn't bad enough, Bioelements ignores some fundamental aspects of skin care. That means no well-formulated AHA or BHA products (it's not a good formula if it subjects skin to needless irritation), and sunscreens rated below the standard SPF 15 recommendation (sun protection products are vastly outnumbered in this line by moisturizers and serums), not to mention the need to keep light- and air-sensitive ingredients, such as retinol, stable.
Company literature states that at Bioelements "We mean what we say. No gimmicks, no hype, and no false promises. We're professional skin care experts dedicated to keeping skin clean, clear, calm, and younger-looking." That sounds great but barely a word of it is true. This line definitely has its share of hype and false promises, from claiming that probiotics are a youth elixir, to regular references to what the line refers to as "Bioelements Adaptogens" and aromatherapist oils.

Nonnie L. Shivers
Nonnie advises, counsels and represents private and public employers in all aspects of employment law, in particular defending employers against allegations of discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination in state and federal court, as well as administrative forums. Nonnie also regularly provides advice and guidance to employers on reductions in force, disability issues and pre-litigation disciplinary matters. Nonnie has conducted numerous complex and high-level internal investigations for clients and assists in identifying and resolving potential areas of liability and exposure in a proactive way.
Nonnie regularly speaks and trains on current and emerging employment law topics, including recent presentations to industry and trade groups on the pitfalls of social networking, avoidance of retaliation claims and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender workplace issues. Nonnie's advanced degree in education and years of experience as an instructor and student affairs professional at Arizona State University help make her training sessions and presentations one-of-a-kind. Nonnie was named a Rising Star by Southwest Super Lawyers in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
Nonnie has published several scholarly articles focused on employment law, including a book chapter on the impact of reasonable workplace accommodations for employees with disabilities on employers and employees' expectations of privacy outside the workplace. Prior to joining the firm, Ms. Shivers served as a law clerk to the Honorable Patricia K. Norris on the Arizona Court of Appeals.
Nonnie's clients run the gamut from large, international companies to flourishing local businesses. Her personal clients include a Fortune 100 air carrier, several regional and local law firms, title agencies, in-home care providers, physician practice groups, and surgical centers. Nonnie also devotes a large portion of her litigation practice to representing a regional non-profit health care provider and a major regional utility company.
Nonnie's practice focuses on litigation, but clients also seek her out to resolve problems before litigation ensues and to prevent litigation by acting proactively. Nonnie's litigation successes include:
- Obtaining complete summary judgment in a multi-plaintiff age discrimination case filed in federal court on behalf of an international technology company
- Obtaining complete summary judgment for a retail company in a wrongful termination case in which the company allegedly blackballed and defamed a former employee
- Winning a total defense judgment and an award of all attorneys' fees incurred after a multi-day arbitration for a national bank in a wrongful termination case

I played my first run through of RotR today, and while it was fun for the players, it kinda dragged for me - the bad guy - so I know I was doing it wrong.
I have a couple of questions: First, those darn hands. Every corpse is supposed to get two but there are only six in the box and I couldn't find any way of recycling them. From what I could find in the rules the ones given at set-up are all you get for the game. They can't be killed and don't cause horror checks (WT*? A witch makes you wig out but a severed, ambulatory hand doesn't worry you?) and are really easy to avoid. What was I doing wrong?
Also my fireproof boss zombie was insta-killed by a result from the combat deck. Since that was the only time I got seriously engaged in combat it was a bit of a downer to say the least. Should boss monsters be insta-killable?
I found that the only avenue open to me, given that monsters could only move 1 square a time in this scenario, was to set the house on fire, but I ran out of fire tokens. Is the token mix a hard limit on what can be played (I said not and used stand-in tokens).
So, what was I doing wrong? Oh yeah, I had three players besides me, so three threat a turn.
