A disturbing trend: people have been erasing other people's names on our real high tech internet sign up sheet. While I want to commend these people on their ingenuity (and their perceptiveness of at least being able to look at, then figure out our high tech sign up sheet) I feel that this is morally... well, it's between stealing candy from a baby and kicking a dog.
What concerns me more is how I handle it if I am just coming on to the reference desk. Sure, I can see a name has been erased and another has been put in. Sure. But how do I know if your name was there previously? Plenty of people erase their own names when they leave. Besides, if you were really sneaky, you could see someone else's name was erased and say yours was.
So I have to go by what's on the sign up sheet at the present time, if I haven't been there to see who was waiting. That's just not fair. The eraser then gets positive reinforcement, for, as Beavis would say, being a dillweed.
I so want timed access software.
Another disturbing trend: people are telling me our computers suck. Of course they do. The poor things are abused for twelve hours a day. (This was incidentally, uttered by the same aforementioned patron whose frequently uttered cry of "I don't know what I pressed!" is known by the whole staff.) If a machine had feelings, these would be crying out from the ground, folks. Don't mean to get all biblical (but that line is just so poetic). Until the money tree sprouts in the garden though, libraries in general (not just this library, or even libraries in this state) are out of luck.
So they do their best. Go easy on them.
Disturbing trend trois: Library cards are being stolen and bizarre books are being checked out on them! And naturally, are never returned. I've heard this complaint three times in as many days. Odd. As some LISNews stories have reported, if I were going to steal a library card and then steal library materials, I'd steal resaleable stuff. Like DVDs. Not histories of doilies. (Not to insult anyone who's seriously into doilies).
[Note: this journal entry is occasioned in part by Ender's posting noted below, but also in part by Blake's daring to suggest that there actually is intelligent conservative opinion worth listening to.]
In a reply from Ender, Duke_of_URL (posting as an anonymous patron) in a thread on Christian publishing and culture, said he felt that Christians were more thievish than the rest of the population.
His generalization reminds me of the Duke U. philosophy professor (hmm, Duke_of_Url, Duke U., I wonder ...), who stated that stupid people were generally conservative, by way of explaining why there were so few conservatives in Duke's humanities departments:
"We try to hire the best, smartest people available," Brandon said of his philosophy hires. "If, as John Stuart Mill said, stupid people are generally conservative, then there are lots of conservatives we will never hire.
"Mill's analysis may go some way towards explaining the power of the Republican party in our society and the relative scarcity of Republicans in academia. Players in the NBA tend to be taller than average. There is a good reason for this. Members of academia tend to be a bit smarter than average. There is a good reason for this too."
Now think about this for a moment: if LISNewzsters are drawn chiefly from liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans, then we come from the two smartest groups in the country!
In keeping with the Alaska theme of the last journal, I'm suggesting an informative book with many pictures for any of your patrons interested in the Alaska fishing industry. There might be more of those in your library than you might think. Each summer, thousands of college students and others come up to Alaska to work on boats, canneries (slime lines), and other desparately hard work that allows them to work in some of the wildest areas America has to offer.
Without further ado, here is some publisher provided information on the book "Ocean Treasure: Commercial Fishing in Alaska":
Web page with photos: http://www.uaf.edu/seagrant/Pubs_Videos/pubs/SG-ED-41.html
Ocean Treasure: Commercial Fishing in Alaska
Author: Terry Johnson
Editor: Kurt Byers
Pub. no.: SG-ED-41
Year: 2003
No. pages: 200
Price: $25.00 US
Ocean Treasure is a full-color book about the Alaska fishing industry. Author Terry Johnson provides an engaging and authoritative overview of the seafood industry, combined with color photos and drawings of fish and invertebrates and the gear used to harvest them. Ocean Treasure tells how to recognize fishing boats and gear, what the fish look like, and how good they taste. Readers are treated to an account of the fascinating history of Alaska fishing, insight into mariculture, how the fisheries are managed, and the lifestyle involved in subsistence fishing. The book also offers a bibliography, a glossary, and a full index.
Visitors to Alaska whose curiosity is piqued by the fishing vessels and dock activity they see, as well as "armchair" Alaska tourists, will be
rewarded by the information-packed pages presented in the easy-to-read, friendly text of this book.
A resident of Homer, Alaska, author Terry Johnson is a marine advisory agent and journalist, and has sixteen years experience as commercial fisherman.
For those you still reading, I came across this book because it is a publication of Alaska's Sea Grant College, and thus is subject to the Alaska State Publications program, which I am responsible for. Ironically, Alaska's "sea grant" college is based at University of Alaska Fairbanks, which is in the central part of our great state and is hours from any part of Alaska's coast.
Well, I am going back to the Pullman series that starts with The Golden Compass. I started the Subtle Knife and put it down for awhile. I have developed a bad habit of starting novels and putting them down. I guess part of it is that I don't have blocks of time to read anymore.
I was talking to my husband about my job and how we were not allowed to walk at all during the day. My previous principal would let us walk during lunch. Of course, lunch was almost forty minutes so we could get a real walk in. This year, lunch has been cut back to thirty minutes. Grab your food and inhale. No walking. Since I am in the library, I don't have a planning period or any other breaks other than lunch. I have a couple of assistants so I guess I could leave for a minute or two. I might just do that to keep my sanity.
Went for a walk with my husband and son around the middle school track. Well, I walked with my son, and my husband ran. Never could get into that running stuff.
A couple of years ago, a friend and I got in a discussion about how to spell "Newbery", he was sure that there are two r's. I was certain there is only one. (Need I say which one of us was correct?)
Anyway, this got me thinking, so I did a web search on "Newberry Award". Hundreds upon hundreds. So every once in a while, I send a few simple e-mail informing webmaster or whoever is listed that Newbery is incorrectly spelled.
Most people don't bother replying - which is fine, especially since they do fix the typo. A few people send a note of thanks. One guy sent an abject apology - which made ME feel badly. One person called me a Nazi and told me to mind my own business.
This week-end I sent another 20 or so e-mails. Two web sites were particularly interesting one had Newbery spelled correctly sometimes and also spelled Newberry and Newbury. My favorite though was the one who used Newberry, Newbury AND NewBerry. HMMM.
Let me be quick to say, I'm fully cognizant that we all make typos (there are probably typos in this), but if I had them on a web page I had written, especially for the public, I would want somebody to let me know.
I've found typos on a number of library sites and even more frequently on .edu sites.
Maybe I am too picky . . .
What does the public do to computers? Honest to pete... I know that people have the tendency to want to really finish what they start and log out of the computer after they finish using the browser (and some staff members are having a hard time grasping if I disable log out, then no one can log out, public or staff). Logging out I don't mind. People have taken to shutting it off entirely. Either that, or it's crashing and no one is telling me.
Then the OS X iMac sat there, like a giant colorful paperweight, yesterday, while I tried to turn it on after one particular patron rolled through. This patron frequently says, "I don't know what I pressed." After trying to turn off and on several times, I started to get nervous. Nothing. No signs of life. What the hell was pressed this time?
Evidently the computer got moved, and the power cord came loose in the back. Thank you. Thank you. I didn't want to replace another iMac.
Someone suggested some donations I just might take. She didn't know the specs off hand, but they're running Windows 2000. That's a good sign anyway. I told her to call me back with the specs.
I get migraines, and I think there's been a doozy brewing all week. I can sort of tell when they're coming. I start getting nauseous, then losing feeling in my arms and legs intermittently, then I start seeing stuff out of the corner of my eyes. Today there was something black flitting around in my field of vision. We on occasion get bats in the library, but this wasn't a bat.
I can only pray it comes tomorrow, when I don't have to work. I feel mighty guilty if I have to take sick time only two and a half months into the job.
It was busy today. In a way I liked it. It made it go fast.
That is one thing I am continually amazed by. I worked retail in college, and we were virtually held prisoner by customers that came in 5:59 when we closed at six and proceeded to window shop for an hour. The managers would never kick people out. At the library, you get a fifteen minute warning and a five minute warning, and then things start shutting down.
Libraries are a beautiful thing.
Today I noticed that the assistant director has "librarian" handwriting. It's that lovely flowing script I guess they used to teach (from what I've heard.) I do wish they still taught it. I officially have what's known as chicken scratch.
I've reworked all the cookie settings, so your best bet is to delete any LISNews cookies, and log back in. You should only have to login once now for all sections/areas/journals, whatever, they all use the same settings now, so I think I've fixed the long running cookie problems. If you have any troubles with being asked to login after you've already logged in, let me know.
Speaking of fresh baked, I'm hoping to have LISNews.org up and running on the new code today. I've got a 50/50 shot at gettin it running today I think.
You may have heard of Bjorn Lomberg, the Danish statistician and director of Denmark's national Environmental Assessment Institute. He wrote a highly controversial book The Skeptical Environmentalist, in which he questioned much of the "scientific consensus" concerning global warming. He was accused by the Danish Committee on Scientific Dishonesty (DCSD) of--you guessed it--scientific dishonesty (his book was deemed "objectively dishonest" or "clearly contrary to the standards of good scientific practice").
However, the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation completely rejected the DCSD report, saying that it lacked documentation and was "completely void of argumentation" for their charges of scientific dishonesty. In rejecting the report, the Ministry left it up to the DCSD to decide whether or not to reopen the case, or to dismiss the charges.
After a two-year investigation, the Committee on Scientific Dishonesty has dismissed the charges.
In a way, I like working Saturdays. It's busy, but it's a spread out busy, not a "the library is full of bored kids from 2-5:30" busy. However, you run into the same problem you run into on Fridays in that when the children's room closes at five, you get a wave of bored children coming downstairs.
This will get me death threats I'm sure: I'm not a big fan of kids. I mean, some kids are fine, but I choose not to have them myself. I'm not overly fond of the neighbor's kids. I don't like to go to restaurants have a cranky six year old screaming in my ear (a cranky one year old I have a higher tolerance level of. I can understand that. It's age appropriate.)
But my distaste for children isn't particularly why I don't want them downstairs. They bang on keyboards, sure, and sometimes, when they get real bored, they whip all the paperbacks off the shelves. That's annoying. That ticks me off.
But I worry about my responsibility to them. I can't babysit them. I mean, technically the poor children's librarians shouldn't be doing that either (though I know they are). But at least they were hired to specifically deal with the children. I was hired for all ages, but primarily above twelve. Usually, from five to six, I am helping people over twelve. I can't be watching a five year old left by mom and dad. Or by their "very mature and responsible" eight year old brother (happens-- a lot.)
I wish the library were a safer place, at least, as safe as parents seem to think it is. I wish that I could throw these children out when they're really misbehaving (as they sometimes do), without guilt that I now have a six year old wandering the streets. But I can't in good conscience do that. I'm not a big fan of children -- but I care enough not to put them in harm's way.
Which I think, sometimes, is more than some parents do.
Okay... comment away. I know librarians as babysitters is not a new phenomenon and in many ways I am preaching to the choir. And I know that my not too fond of children stance ticks many off... Go easy on me. I'm fragile.
On the political front: I threw a fit of journal-entry proportions this morning because a friend and I went to the ghetto Safeway and discovered limes cost 50 cents apiece there.
I'm convinced the pricing of the limes has more to do with the fact that most folks who shop the ghetto Safeway do not own cars -- or enjoy a straight shot on mass transit to the competition -- because you can get limes five for a dollar elsewhere if you have a car; I purchased about 50 limes a week ago for 20 cents apiece.
(And, yes, I'm aware that someone has to labor for less than nothing and no hope for the occasional trip to the salon to get me limes at that price; jump to the wrap at the end if that's your shtick.)
My argument is that the pricing has nothing to do with fluctuations in the wholesale lime market, that we could have hit another Safeway served by the same warehouse and found limes five for a dollar.
The friend disagreed and is (begin emphasis) still (end emphasis) actively disagreeing. (Continuous action in the present, he.)
He says "they would get busted if they did that.� He says every Safeway served by the same warehouse has limes for 50 cents apiece right now.
Hello? Who is going to bust Safeway for pricing limes based on what X captive market is willing to pay?
The larger argument: Fordist urban planning is a barrier to folks getting the lime-pricing they deserve. (I caved and bought a few of the 50-cent limes. They were underperformers.)
If we had great mass transit and sensible urban planning, not only would uniform pricing of limes result from everyone having equal access to all retailers, but Walmart would not be No. 1 in all significant retail categories -- folks would not necessarily patronize a retailer based on the asphalt-availability index alone.
My two neighbors, both under 30, do not have cars, and they report -- this while drinking wine on the balcony beginning at 10 or so on a Friday morning -- that it would not matter to them if they could get 50 rolls of toilet paper for 50 cents or 20 limes for $1, they would not patronize Walmart or its subsidiaries.
The one 23-year-old and said voting with your consumer dollar is equally as important as voting in elections.
If you think the larger argument is that you'd have to stop buying much of anything if you really wanted to stay clean karma-wise, this is the wrap: Yes, in a perfect world you'd have to pay the lime workers a livable wage and pass the non-savings onto me. But that goes against the Walmart worldview and would require a sustainable economy -- on and on.
Perhaps someone is tempted to imagine (or even assert) that I suggested the story about the EU's attempts to protect children while they use the Internet to make an argument for filtering along these lines:
Perhaps there is no such Someone, but if there is, that someone would of course be wrong.
For one thing, the EU does not rank high on my list of folks I would trust to make decisions on what my child should and shouldn't see on the Internet, or elsewhere. For another, I regard Internet filtering as problematic because it puts the state in loco parentis, and as I've said elsewhere, I don't want the state there. (Note that I'm not asserting that this is a decisive argument against filtering, but it's one that all parents who believe themselves responsible for their children's education should consider very thoroughly.)
I suggested this story firstly because I know that LISNews readers are interested in questions of filtering and censorship. Secondly, the list of people who think they are entitled to decide what others should read and see is by no means limited to religious extremists and malodorous drippy-nosed perverts (as some define them). In fact, I hope to post several more stories EU and UN attempts to regulate Internet content and use. LISNnewsters will, I think, find them of interest.
Serves me right. I am nice. Even though the guy didn't watch his class last time; when he buzzes up, I say sure. The gym was being used for Senior cap and gown pictures, and he needed somewhere to take his kids. For a second time, he sat in the large conference room (now the police officer's office) with his feet propped up. I will say no next time ...
It is a GORGEOUS day outside. I am taking a personal day next Friday and am hoping it looks like this one. Thank goodness the daycare center my son is in takes the infants outside.
I purchased Core Collection for Young Adults. Then, I spent a few days going through the sixty some odd page Word document deleting titles we had or I didn't want. Now, I am going through Titlewave typing everything in. These are, obviously, wish lists that I will draw from depending on the kind of budget I get.
It is amazing that even though we are staying late to make up work time, I am not really getting any work done. The time is slated for SACS, and since I am the head of a committee, I really need to work on SACS. Well, with phone calls and not being able to talk to people (because they were busy), I didn't get a durn thing done. Maybe next Thursday. :P
I love our closed stacks.
I wasn't so sure about them at first. I mean, it's scary back there. The floor is glass and very sci-fi. This scary glow comes up when the lights are on on the floor below. The lights are just exposed bulbs. Some floor panels on the sides are pieces of plywood that look like they might not hold some of the kids that come in for story time, never mind me.
Plus the ghost. Alledgedly there is a ghost in the closed stacks. I don't know where I stand on the paranormal issue, but I guess if I were a dead bibliophile, that's probably where I'd hang out. And it certainly makes you want to believe, being in there at night.
But the books are beautiful. I love old books (this is where we keep things that don't circulate, can't circulate, or are otherwise not really needed in the main library), even though I understand that most of them have really minimal value, relatively speaking. I found a book on Dorothea Dix from the late 1800s. It wasn't anything special, but it was just neat.
Actually, know what I like? I like the really neat librarian handwriting that goes on the bookplate. And the cataloging information. The script is just gorgeous.
Library geek journal entry. We will return to our regularly scheduled systems/reference/duties as assigned posting tomorrow.
From Steven Greenhut's review of The Passion of the Christ at LewRockwell.com:
[Gibson's] only on-screen performance was of his arm and hand hammering the nail through Christ's hand. In one small dramatic act, Gibson exposed Abraham Foxman's and the Anti-Defamation League's efforts to defame the biblical account of Christ's death as anti-Semitic.
Gibson was saying, loud and clear, that he helped crucify his Lord and Savior.
So did I. I plead guilty and throw myself on the mercy of the court.
Of course, as we all know, the film was excessively, grossly violent:
Liberal critics of the movie were aghast at the violence portrayed in it. Well, we finally find a movie that is too violent for these critics. Not Kill Bill, which liberals celebrated as a hip and edgy film, but The Passion. Violence is too much for them if it is in service to a religious message they simply cannot stand. [emphasis mine]
If someone like Rob Reiner made this criticism, it would at least have integrity. As I understand it, Reiner has for some time been critical of the film industry for its gratuitous use of violence and sex.[1] But, to the extent it came from folks who loved Kill Bill or Pulp Fiction, it is hypocrisy.
I hope I get to see it in a theater. Truth is, I don't get around much anymore.
[1] I have to confess a soft spot for Reiner, since he gave us Spinal Tap and The Princess Bride.
John Whitehead has a new article up at Razormouth. In it, he worries about the too-uncritical embrace of politics by Christians. The whole article is worth reading, especially for Christians. I offer two representative quotes:
The religious fervor of the gladiator salute "Hail, Caesar!� finds its counterpart in today's political scene. Candidates in modern election campaigns present themselves as heroes whose election will mark the advent of a new society. More and more, even in the United States, they claim that the state will provide all the answers to our woes. (Consider the present administration's assertion that the government can now heal our marriages, cure our health problems and take care of us from cradle to grave, as well as save us from terrorists.)
As Professor Alan Johnson once wrote: "A Christianity tied too closely to the civil authorities soon finds itself being used as a tool to sanction the particular policies and acts of a government which uses the church to win citizen approval.� In other words, believers must avoid becoming merged with the state or politics, or else they risk becoming partners in the government's ultimate goals.
Fang-Face, if you are reading this, would you please contact Whitehead somehow and let him know what an authoritarian religious extremist and drippy-nosed malodorous pervert he is. I'm so incensed, I can't bring myself to do it.
He concludes his article with the acquiescence of the German church to the Nazi regime prior to the Second World War. While I find his comparison of Nazi Germany to our present situation rather over-the-top, not to say krankhaft (pardon the pun), as long as he is bringing it up it is an example we should bear in mind. Fortunately, our constitution is a good deal stronger than that of the Weimar Republic, and our economic woes ain't got nothin' on the Germany of the 20's and 30's. Still, we dare not cease our vigilance, whether or not we support the Patriot Act.
I could use a change of pace from the heavy topics I've been writing about and so can you.
Check out the Aurora Web Cam. This camera was set up by a private individual in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The camera is live at night (at least until May, when there's too much light) so you can tune and see whether there are northern lights playing. The builder of this site has also put together some terrific videos that are ALMOST as good as actually sitting out under the stars. Of course, if you live south of Seattle, this may be the only taste of the northern lights you get.
Even on the 'net, the aurora is worth watching. The dance of the lights is mesmerizing! Definitely best with a broadband connection, but 56K isn't totally disappointing.
Or, today's version, IBM 300GL, come forth. Today, just for the hell of it, I switched video cards. One from the work room computer (which was dead) into my dead computer. Lo and behold, then they both booted and worked fine. I can not pretend to understand. I made no pretenses that I really understood what exactly went on. I fully expect both of them to stop working if I look at them cross eyed or insult their mothers. But for now, we are once again running with computers where they really need to be. Happily ever after. Amen.
Perhaps it was my computer's three hour visit to the basement computer morgue that scared the bejeebies out of it and got it working again.
Amazing how people will fight over overdue fines. This is over an amount of money I'm sure they don't even notice they're spending at Dunkin Donuts in the morning. But that pays our messengers. It's not like we're salting it away to close the library to go to Tahiti.
If you ask me, libraries without messengers are really bummers. I wish I could have been a messenger as a kid. I find shelving books relaxing. I tend to drop books a lot though. Clumsy me.
I spotted two teenagers in the lower stacks reading. They were being good, but I asked them to go up to young adult. It's kind of dark and skeevy in the lower stacks, and I didn't want them down there alone. I don't like to be down there alone.
Caught a kid last night beating on one of my keyboards playing online games, which is prohibited. I am mighty protective of keyboards and mice. They're like pet hamsters, with their short life spans and their funny odor. Okay, well, at least with their short lifespans.
Priceless things from this current vacation period:1. Not getting attacked by colleagues on their own initiative and without provocation from me for being a Christian 2. Seemingly every librarian at the Fairview Park Regional library outside Cleveland's west side saying hello and apparently recognizing that I must be a librarian-in-training or something3. Finding the pleasure and humor of books by Will Manley4. Getting to spend time with my family
Thanks for all the kind feedback I got last week. I can't begin to tell you how nice that was.
I've noticed a couple "why is this on LISNews" comments for the first time lately. For years the LISNews about page said:
"You are stuck with what we find interesting on any given day, if that happens to interest you, then today is your lucky day." And I always wanted the rest to say: "If not, then tough shit, you're not paying for it."
I can't remember exactly why I took that line out. I guess it just never felt quite right being there, but I still think it sums up nicely what we do here. For the most part LISNews works like this:
Someone has an interest in becoming an author at LISNews.
They contact me, I give them super secret and exciting author powers.
They find a link, story, site, or something they find interesting.
They login, and post it to LISNews.
I've always worked hard at keeping LISNews as open as possible, without going completely metafilter, because I believe that having more people involved with the site makes it more useful/interesting/informative/exciting/etc… Lately, the number of authors, coupled with my time off, has meant there's been a noticeable change in what gets posted. I've posted the majority of the stories over the past 4 years, which means, by default, I controlled much of what was seen around here. That's not really something I ever wanted, you know I've been begging for more authors since day one. I've been begging for more participation in general since day one. I'm trying to avoid the echo chamber, and I think we do a pretty decent job most of the time.
So, to answer your question, that is on LISNews because someone thought it was interesting. It's there because we want it there, because you might learn something, and because we decide what to post. Your feedback is always welcome, but we do this because it's fun, and because we find it interesting. We don't need to worry about ratings, or readership, or offending people.
I'll need another week or so to get the new server finished up, and all the domains moved over. LISNews is going to go last this time, because LISNews is going to be such a huge pain to move I don't even want to think about it until I have to. Keep your eyes on LISNews.org. That's where I'll be testing the new code before I dump all our old data in. You can expect some serious down time and general messiness at LISNews for a while as I make the transition.

Dell Inc. cut prices on computers, printers and other products by up to 22 percent, a day after its rival Hewlett-Packard Co. reported a first-ever loss in its PC business after slashing prices too aggressively. No. 1 PC maker Dell regularly pulls PC prices down, using its direct-to-customer sales method to undercut competition. In this case, the price cuts come during the crucial back-to-school season. While Dell and HP have traded places in recent quarters as the No. 1 seller of personal computers, HP's PC business slipped to an operating loss in its quarter ended July 31. HP's loss was due partly to price cuts it made to compete with Dell and the lack of flexibility it has in changing prices on systems it sells through its distributors. HP Chief Executive Carly Fiorina said recently that prices can take 3 or 4 weeks to work their way into retail markets. Dell sells most of its computers directly to customers, enabling it to pass on lower costs of computer parts to them. In the past few years, it has used this method to take market share from competitors like HP and Gateway Inc., which is also losing money on PCs. Del, said its price cuts include lowering desktop computer prices by U.S. $50 to $550. Certain computers for large businesses are 22-percent lower in price, while others have been cut by up to 10 percent. Price reductions on printers and projectors ranged from 10 percent to 13 percent, and Dell cut the 17-inch flat panel monitor price by 20 percent to $399. It said the Dell J740 personal inkjet printer is now $79. (Reuters)

exactly what we needed to go in entrance hall lemuel from nc– Verified Buyer very sturdy, preassembled, exactly the size and though it will be covered most of the time, it is quite attractive |
Liberty deluxe 5 tri hook rail, closet use M. from Mililani, HI– Verified Buyer These racks are so great looking and practical, they make a pad into a palace....in function. Among the best item I have found for closet interiors, and they come in an alternate color. Search for Liberty wall hooks again and again. |
Hooks for hanging Danna from Pleasant Hill, CA– Verified Buyer I placed two sets of these hooks in the entry way hall from the garage to the living area in the house. They are perfect for hanging wet rain coats, hats, shopping bags, etc so that they stay out of the living area but easy access on the way to the car. Really like them a lot. |
Deluxe 6 Tri Hook Rail Mary from Wethersfield, CT– Verified Buyer I was looking for mounted hooks that were sturdy to hang in my bedroom for sweaters and pocketbooks. I shopped several websites and found this one on Wayfair.com. I'm very pleased with the design and quality of this product. It is just what I was looking for. |
Happy so far Rykki from La Barge, WY– Verified Buyer This looks good on the wall. It's by the front door for guests, so it hasn't seen a whole lot of use yet... but I think it should be study enough. It has screws on each side but not one in the middle. As long as it's not used for filled backpacks or anything though, I think it should work great. |
Great coat rack Sheryl from Romulus, NY– Verified Buyer Solid and as described. Could not have purchased the hooks for less than this entire coat rack. Did exchange screws for Molly bolts to ensure solid on wall and could hold weight of winter coats |
Good Quality Hook Rail Emily from NJ– Verified Buyer I purchased this hook rail and the quality is great. It is what I was expecting. I have no complaints about anything I've purchased from here, and I have purchased a lot of stuff! |
Functional and Attractive Carin from Denver– Verified Buyer This hook rail is perfect for my father's room in his assisted living residence. Perfect size, perfect for heavy coats and perfect in design. |
Perfect Randee from minneapolis– Verified Buyer Couldn't think of anything I would want better. Put this by front door. It looks simple and classy. |
seems sturdy Chris from Houston, TX– Verified Buyer Seems sturdy but the hanging points are further apart then average wall studs. Can't place much weight on it. |
Deluxe 5 Tri Hook Rail is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 129848, 129850

Pope Francis Preaches Message Of Love At Christmas Eve Mass
Originally published on Tue December 24, 2013 4:53 pm
In his first Christmas Eve Mass as pontiff, Pope Francis spoke of Jesus as an infant in keeping with the first months of his papacy that have been dedicated to the most vulnerable in society.
Speaking at St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, Francis noted that the first to learn of the birth of Christ were shepherds, who were considered "among the last, the outcast."
"You are immense, and you made yourself small," he said of Jesus. "You are rich, and you made yourself poor; you are all-powerful and you made yourself vulnerable."
The Associated Press writes:
"The bells of St. Peter's rang as Francis, who turned 77 a week ago, walked briskly up the main aisle of the basilica for the ceremony, which began Tuesday 2 ½ hours before midnight. Keeping with the theme of humility he has set for his new papacy, Francis carried the statue instead of an aide, and kissed a knee of the figure of the newly born Jesus."
"Francis has applied this same vision to the heart of the Vatican's own working, saying in past remarks there is no place for [personal] ambition in the clerical hierarchy. Rather, he has insisted, the Catholic church must be one of service to those in need."
"There are both bright and dark moments, lights and shadows," Francis said in his homily. "If our heart is closed, if we are dominated by pride, deceit, self-seeking, then darkness falls within us and around us."

Cloak & Dagger Entertainment, LLC is official!
After many years of planning and plotting, Cloak & Dagger Entertainment is now an official business entity with a newly recruited team of programmers, designers, writers, voice actors, musicians, and many more talented contributors. Below is a basic outline of our official projects that will debut in 2015...
Rise of Relthane - What started out as a Neverwinter Nights module has evolved into a full blown independent game title. RoR ambitiously boasts the integration of real footage into our game, giving you a vivid theatrical gaming experience. This is a four year long behemoth that should be ready for delivery by mid 2015.
The Dagger - Our group produces trans-media... stories told over multiple platforms. There are a number of tie-ins from the Dagger into the Rise of Relthane series. This riveting anthology novel will be available for download in January 2015.
Technorseman - We've worked with a number of talented musicians to produce a soundtrack that properly compliments our first tran-media project. A clever blend of genres gives you a colorful variety of music to enjoy with your game or novel.
Operation: Carpet Bomb - This is our feature film project for 2015, it is the documentary that will cover the development of RoR, the Dagger, and Technorseman. It also contains the story of Carolyn Melody Lafferty, whose death is what sparked the fire that became Cloak & Dagger Entertainment.

I love the graphics, I love the missions, I even find crafting funn(ish). But Tank+Healer+DPS combo is a big "been here - done that" for me. Basics are not different to any other game out there. The whole "wheel build many combinations you will never try them all in your lifetime" thing is just a surface to healer-tank-dps mechanics 99% of games do. Pass. Imho. No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please. |

Originally posted by Spiider Well, there is always GW2, where everybody does anything they want, no one needs to be good at anything and you win regardless of how bad you suck. The deck system is a progression system, the combat is still trintiy-based, it was never meant to be anything other than that and this has been clearly stated multiple times by FC.

So the 'class-less' system isnt really so class-less is it? But I guess there are ways to make hybrids. Healer/DPS, Tank/Healer, so on so forth. More customization of the 'role' aka class you want to play. |
Originally posted by Spiider they give you 7 talismans that have a focus on HP, Attack or Heal... you are suposed to combine these stats to be like 30% HP, 10% heal and 60% DPS or anyother combination you want, having only 1 stat (like 100% DPS) is not that good (it's actually really bad)... also you have glyps and signets, you can put a glyph and a signet in each talisman (or weapon). the glyphs give stats, you can combine 4 stats of: block, defence, physical/magical protection, evade, penetrate, critical, critical power, hit rating... exp: you can put a glyph with 100% block or 50% evade/ 50% block. the signets give effects... you can put effects like: when you glance, the next hit you take have it's damage reduced by 4%. your build is the combination of: 7 active & 7 passive abillities. first weapon - [Glyph] [Weapon] [Signet] second weapon- [Glyph] [Weapon] [Signet] head talisman- [Glyph] [25% of HP or Heal or Attack] [Signet] first major talisman- [Glyph] [15% of HP or Heal or Attack] [Signet] second major talisman- [Glyph] [15% of HP or Heal or Attack] [Signet] third major talisman- [Glyph] [15% of HP or Heal or Attack] [Signet] first minor talisman- [Glyph] [10% of HP or Heal or Attack] [Signet] second minor talisman- [Glyph] [10% of HP or Heal or Attack] [Signet] third minor talisman- [Glyph] [10% of HP or Heal or Attack] [Signet] Obs: the "%" is how much each talisman is responsible for your core stats. Exp: If you wanna be a healer that can kill something in PvP, you can put: HP - 1 minor talisman, 1 major talisman - (25%) DPS - 2 major talismans - (30%) Heal - 1 minor talisman, 1 Head talisman - (45%) |
I enjoy games that have pre-defined roles, I for one am pleased they kept this in. Besides with the amount of variety in specs and the classless pre-defined spec system you can have, I really don't think finding someone to fit a role will be that difficult. You can keep your GW2 Im not that impressed with their "class system" as I enjoy variety in healing specs and tank specs. What I am only impressed with in GW2 is that they are offering a triple A mmorpg with no subscription. |
You can so do many things, spend hours thinking about your "skill wheel" but in the end you are just a tank, healer or dps. This is how I see it, this is why I don't like it. Whwat is the difference between 70% dps and 60% dps? None as you still need a healer to get through quests and dungeons. And a 70% or 60% tank to get all damage away from you. Same old boring formula as decade ago. Yes, I did expect something different. This game is much better than swotor or GW2 but you don't get around by comparing yourself with bad games. Yet another game that misses that "extra something". Imho, so don't bite my head off if you don't like it. No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please. |
Originally posted by rpgalon If a 100% DPS has 4,000 HPs and a 100% tank has 8,000 hps, an extra 33% HPs on the DPS won't make or break him to much. It does gimp him. If there were in game DPS meters he would put out 33% less damage than a guy with the same build under ideal conditions. That would be enough to get fired from any raid guild. The tank keeps agro and takes most damage and the AoEs are easy to avoid so an extra 1,500 hps is null. If some boss has some stupid ability that does 6,000 damage to everyone then swap gear out for that boss. There is a tier list in builds so while everyone weapon can DPS, there will be three or four decks that do it the best. The mix and match thing seems to work best for single players, as it let's DPS heal themselves better so they can take harder mobs and have less down time. |

Originally posted by bcbully This. A role is an end, a class is a means to that end. There are no specific means, but everything has a 'role', or an end. |
Originally posted by Spiider Not sure what you're looking for, but it sounds like you want a game where all characters are equal ? Everyone can tank, dps and heal equally well ? Because the moment that "focusing" on one of those three roles provides a better result, you automatically have a trinity setup. Most MMO's force you to specialise in 1 role, at least in TSW you can switch roles or blend roles in any way you like. |
Originally posted by Spiider I don't see how. Fact is, you'll always have roles or specialisations when working as a team. You'll always have to have people that can take a hit or keep mobs busy, either via being a meat shield or lure them to him or crowd control, and you'll always have to have people or skills around that can either recover health points or prevent damage, and you'll always have people that can stack damage. No matter what game, those are basic traits and functions that are required in a group. If some people incl the ones 'lf healer!' in general chat can only translate those basic functions into trinity-roles, that's only because they don't know any better, that's what they have experience with. Yes, those functions (doing damage, recovering/preventing damage, distraction/tanking/crowd control) and roles are required in team combat, but tank-healer-dps trinity isn't the only way to shape them. |
Originally posted by tares a 100% dps have 1500 HP (the same HP you start the game with)... a 100% tank have ~ 9500 a DPS with 1500 HP is going to die a looooot. a tank with 0 attack rating is going to have a hard time keeping monsters in him, he is probably going to need a lot of passives/actives that generates more hate. |
So thats why I keep dying.... |
Originally posted by Spiider then replay the game... honestly unless you add cc and buffer in there the opinion is false. |
tank/heal/dps - game mechanics based off reality are so dull. all these people who don't like roles in their rpg are trolling so hard. go play a single player game please. |
I GOT IT. Those who dont like playing ROLES should stop playing ROLE-PLAYING-GAMES. DERP!! I finally understand. Go play an FPS or something. |
Correct. Role playing games have turned into real role playing games. But number of roles is given by game mechanics and not by your imagination. So intead of you being a badass pirate or noble knight you can only be healer, tank or dps. 3 roles. You do know that when someone says "role playing game" he does not mean what you said? He does not mean "I want to be a tank, cant wait to be a tank"? Why is it so hard to accept that this game will not be any different from 99% of the games out there? The novelty will wear off in 3-6 months and it will slowly turn towards f2p and cash shops. You can spread points around the whee all you want but in the end you will be tank, dps or healer (or hybrid role of 3 roles and no group will ever like having you). No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please. |
Originally posted by Spiider what the hell are you talking? you can dress like a "badass" pirate or a "noble knight", and act like one... the HP, attack, heal... are only the core stats in the items, they are in no way limiting your choices. they would limit if they forced you to look like what you are using, but they do not, you can dress robes and still play the way you want. you can also change the weapon look and keep the stats. |

New Yorkers soak up final day of sweet Big Gulp freedom
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Update: NY judge says not so fast.
Twas the night before the latest Big Nanny initiative kicks in:
Monday is the last day New Yorkers will be able to buy super-sized sugary drinks in New York City.
The cola crackdown goes into effect on Tuesday. The new regulation puts a 16-ounce limit on sugary drinks sold at city restaurants, movie theaters, sports venues and street carts and applies to both bottled and fountain drinks.
The sugary drink ban doesn't include grocery stores… at least not yet.
There I go again using the word "ban." Yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg went on television to remind everybody that he's not banning anything — it's called "portion control," tubby:
If Bloomberg thinks people are too stupid to know what's in their best interest how does he expect them to be able to do that multiple drink math?
And where are the environmentalists when you need them?
"I definitely believe it's going to hurt my business," said Mary Cira of Pronto Pizza, who said she had to toss nearly a $1,000 worth of 20 ounce and 2 liter bottles of soda. She'll also have to reprint her menus.
Update: Beyond parody:
Come Tuesday city inspectors will be armed with 17-ounce cups to police New York City Mayor Bloomberg's controversial new law banning large sodas and other sugary drinks.
'The measuring cups that we will be issuing … will be able to contain 17 fluid ounces,' Kass said.Inspectors will issue violations when a cup is found to 'clearly exceed' 16 ounces 'when measured in the inspector's measuring cup,' he added.

Work, HRM and Ethics
The question of ethics and human resource management (HRM) has become the focus of much discussion (see, Pinnington et al. 2007). There is a growing awareness that HRM-related topics need to be considered in terms which are not purely technical or organisational, but also ethical and political. The debate is broad and has attracted a range of views and perspectives. Early initiatives by Winstanley et al. (1996) have argued that ethical perspectives must be moved to the centre of the HRM agenda. They are vital for understanding the development of different perspectives and outcomes in relation to the way people are managed. Ethics is not solely the domain of an academic agenda attempting to impose some form of 'good' ethical framework from one perspective or another, but ethical issues and matters are themselves woven into the very strategic calculations and developments in the management of human resources. Ethics are of relevance to the practitioner, and they shape ...

MONTREAL - Jim Furyk moved into position for his third Canadian Open victory, shooting a 5-under 65 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead at Royal Montreal.
HOYLAKE, England - Phil Mickelson rolled long putts across the practice green in front of the Royal Liverpool clubhouse, some of them going in, most of them the right distance.
SILVIS, Ill. - Brian Harman admitted he felt the pressure. The 27-year-old, in his third full season on the PGA Tour, hadn't been in the final twosome in the final round until Sunday.
...Brian Harman had two eagles in a 6-under 65 on Saturday that gave him a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the John Deere Classic.Harman's solid performance got him to 17-under 196 for the tournament at TPC Deere Run. Three-time winner...
SILVIS, Ill. - For the past five years, Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker have had a near-monopoly on the John Deere Classic.Johnson won in 2012, lost to Jordan Spieth in a three-way playoff last year, and tied for second in 2009...
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Even with his best round of the year, Phil Mickelson knew it wouldn't be enough for him to stay in the lead Saturday at the Wells Fargo Championship. That was OK with Lefty.
In a Masters longing for star power, 20-year-old Jordan Spieth put himself atop the leaderboard.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - Angel Cabrera no longer has to fret about that streak of disappointments in non-major events on the PGA Tour.
SILVIS, Ill. - Jordan Spieth felt great Thursday on the first tee of the John Deere Classic. He heard not only his name, but, for the first time, the phrase "defending champion." A par followed. Then another, and another after that. And then a bogey.
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Patrick Reed listens to wife Justine. And with good reason: She's carrying his clubs. With his wife serving as his caddie, the PGA Tour rookie shot a 6-under 64 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead in the Wyndham Championship.

At midnight some enormously loud machine kicked on transforming my room into the interior of a passenger get. When management was informed I was told there was nothing that could be done. The next morning when approached about compensation for the miserable noise all night, the worker behind the counter "didn't know how to apply a discount" and her supervisor was "not answering". Horribly run hotel would not reccomend staying there.

Manti Te'o was the victim of another hoax.
Well, he wasn't the only one. Anyone who bleeds blue and gold for Notre Dame, and the large contingent of the media, was fooled yet again by the hype of a player coming out of South Bend, Indiana. Frankly, anyone who has been enchanted by the notion that miracles bloom practically every season under the watch of Touchdown Jesus was also hoodwinked.
You know the Kool-Aid drinkers who were convinced that his Heisman case was swiped in some sort of highway robbery on the way to Manhattan? It wasn't.
Late Friday, the reality came into focus. Te'o was taken in the second round by the San Diego Chargers, the story of the year in college football didn't exist anymore, and his status as a big-time NFL player, well, that didn't exist, either.
Just like his numbers didn't match up in the Heisman quest, his credentials to be a top selection in the NFL Draft fell short. Is Manti Te'o a great player? No. Well, at least not yet. Is he a bad player? Absolutely not.
In the NFL, a first round pick can be more impacting then a presidential election. (Don't believe me? Ask the San Diego Chargers about Ryan Leaf.)
Just as an NFL-like Alabama team squashed the Fightin' Irish before it could wipe the National Champion stars out of their eyes, NFL scouts saw the prospect that Te'o really was: not quite someone who was "can't miss" or even someone worth the risk.
Scouting departments have more intelligence on players than the CIA. Nothing gets by them. Thanks to guys like Gil Brandt, the draft has become an (almost) exact science built on a matrix of what the prototype NFL guy looks like.
We all saw the great stops Te'o made against the Crimson Tide. Oh wait, no we didn't. And that's why his stock fell on Draft Day, not because Te'o fell for a fantasy.
It's really all about the idea that we all love the Disney-like storyline that Notre Dame often can produce. It's not the fault of Manti Te'o. It's just the system. Just like you have grown to think that the Dallas Cowboys are thugs (they're not, really).
The bottom line is this: Notre Dame has an uncanny ability of making good players great, well, until they are exposed in the NFL (Jimmy Clausen, Brady Quinn). Enjoy the Irish, enjoy the tradition. Just don't be so quick to believe the hype for a player when he comes out of college because he put up stellar numbers at Notre Dame, or was part of some heartwarming triumph. Haven't we, as writers and analysts, learned our lesson yet?
