Department of Libraries NEWS |
109 State St., Montpelier, VT 05609 • (802) 828-3261 • http://www.libraries.vermont.gov |
James H. Douglas,
Governor •
Sybil Brigham McShane,
State Librarian
No. 139 • Winter 2008
As most of you know by now, I am retiring December 31 and this is my last issue as the editor of the Department of Libraries News. My thirty years as a consultant with the Department of Libraries have really been one long adventure. Many times, I was amazed to be getting paid for having so much fun. Memorable experiences have included attending grand openings of libraries, helping with exciting programs and conferences, awarding well-deserved grant checks, and teaching numerous librarians basic skills. Even bureaucratic tasks like compiling library statistics and reading grant applications were interesting. It is only human to wish I'd missed some of the more negative times, but they, too, have helped create the most remarkable job any librarian could have.
It was as much fun to help libraries plan construction projects as it was to be present at their openings, sometimes years later. Over 20 years ago I was asked to look at a couple of houses under consideration for the new public library in Richford. One was very tiny, with wallpaper peeling and carpenter ants visible in the dirt cellar. Yes, I did crawl around down there! The other house was a large Victorian occupied by "hippies." Empty potato chip bags, half-eaten pizzas, and soda cans littered the psychedelically decorated rooms. With a good bit of elbow grease, it is now the Arvin A. Brown Public Library.
While I visited almost every library building, one of my favorites is the Pettee Memorial Library in Wilmington where my partner in crime, Grace Greene, and I made an after-dinner visit one summer. Having lingered over coffee and the 360-degree view at a famous restaurant along Route 9, we asked to use the library's facilities upon arriving. The librarian handed me a flashlight and told me to go down the steps first because I was shorter. She then lifted up the circulation desk and revealed the built-in steps to the basement restroom. (Note: Things have changed since their renovation project made the basement accessible by a new entrance and set of stairs.)
It has been fun working with librarians and trustees on issues ranging from the basics to the more philosophical. One winter's day, I received a phone call from a panic-stricken trustee. His board's librarian, who had inherited the job from her mother and "handled everything" (including paying bills and writing her own pay check), had just died. They needed help – immediately – in order to keep the doors open. Never one to pass up a golden opportunity to offer advice, I hopped into my car and sped to the rescue. The board hired a competent librarian, wrote policies, developed a budget, asked for town support for the first time, and met standards within the next few years.
I have many more unforgettable memories than we have space for here, but a few include:
- attending the "Survivor" program in Franklin (why did I put on khaki pants that morning?) and "Big Rig Day" in Woodbury, two of many enjoyable programs in local libraries
- the initial meeting with the Freeman family and all of the grant awards afterwards
- watching Senator Jim Jeffords and Governor Howard Dean sing "Joseph's Little Overcoat" at the announcement of the Mobile Library Literacy Grant program
- participating in the state's first book discussion programs for adult new readers
- helping out at the Second Vermont Governor's Conference for Better Libraries (if you can remember that, you are ready for retirement, too!)
It has been interesting and gratifying to work with Vermont's public libraries, large and small, and to see them grow and change.
It has also been a privilege to work with the dedicated staff at the Department of Libraries who have supported me through good times and more challenging ones. Moving to the Regional Library several years ago offered a host of new experiences, including working with an interesting public and a diligent staff, dealing with ants and late fuel oil deliveries, and even occasionally watching cows graze the back yard.
People ask me what I plan to do, and I have various replies – helping with our home business, quilting, traveling, reading, being a Friend of my local library, and just relaxing. I won't miss driving in the winter, but I will miss it the rest of the year. So much of my time was spent driving to libraries around the state while admiring our amazing scenery. I'm not sure I can stop driving around Vermont, so don't be surprised if I turn up at your library one of these days.
I would like to thank every one of you for making me feel so much a
of your libraries and your lives. It has been
an honor to work with you all.
Director, Public Library Support Services
In August, State Librarian Sybil Brigham McShane announced her plans to retire after ten years as State Librarian and 28 years with the Department of Libraries. During those years, McShane implemented the Department's integrated automated library system, created the Vermont Public Library Foundation which awarded over $12 million in grants, entered into statewide database contracts comprising the Vermont Online Library and statewide movie licenses, and developed the Green Mountain Book Award for teens.
McShane's career with the Department parallels the development of technology in libraries throughout the country, and, indeed, she spearheaded Vermont libraries' efforts. When McShane came to the agency as head of the Reference Services Unit, the staff was using teletype machines for statewide interlibrary loan. Local libraries were submitting requests via three-part forms they mailed to regional libraries. Books were checked out manually and overdue notices generated only occasionally. Today, most of the libraries in the state use electronic mail for interlibrary loan communications. Circulation, reserves, and overdue notices are all done using the integrated library system which McShane installed in 1987.
The Vermont Board of Libraries will work with McShane and Secretary of Administration Michael Smith to recruit a new state librarian who they hope will be on board July 1.
Long-time Director of Library Information Services Marjorie Zunder will also be retiring in 2008, after 30 years with the Department of Libraries. After heading the Technical Services Unit for nearly 20 years, Zunder made the switch to Reference and Law Services where she supervises the law library, central reference service, the foundation collection, interlibrary loan, the DOL-UVM Access Office, Technical Services, and the Special Services Unit.
The Department of Libraries (DOL) learned on December 20, that the consolidated budget bill passed by Congress will include $163,000,000 for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) State Programs. After a mandatory across-the-board reduction of 1.74%, the final amount is $160,800,000. Because funding to state library agencies is a base grant combined with a population formula, this will amount to a reduction in Federal FY2008 (which began on October 1, 2007) funding to the Department of Libraries of 6.66%, or about $58,000. It is estimated that all states, except the fasted growing – Arizona, Georgia and Texas – will face reductions. As of this writing, it is not known whether the President will sign or veto the bill.
The original Labor, Health and Human Services and Education (Labor-HHS) budget passed by Congress in November and vetoed by the President included the President's requested amount of $171,500,000 for state library programs and would have fully funded a new base grant of $680,000 (as opposed to the current base of $340,000). This would have resulted in a significant increase for Vermont.
Federal funding at DOL covers
the cost of all or part of seventeen positions, resource sharing and
resource sharing grants, regional library materials, the Card/MARC
service, the Vermont Online Library, continuing education and a variety
other services.
With level-funded state FY2008
and FY2009 budgets, DOL staff will immediately begin considering ways
reduce expenditures.
In recent months, the Department of Libraries distributed about $185,000 in grants for public access computing and children's services through the Gates "Staying Connected" and the Vermont Public Library Foundation's Winnie Belle Learned Fund programs.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation "Staying Connected" grants awarded $165,000 to sustain free, public access to computers and the internet in local libraries as well as for technical support for public access computing. Under the terms of its agreement with the Gates Foundation, the Department of Libraries awarded funding for the replacement of aging computer hardware and technical support for public access computing to Vermont public libraries serving communities with median household incomes of $35,000 or less. About 60 libraries received these funds which served to upgrade hardware first installed in the first round of Gates grants, in 2001. For a list of grantees, see http://www.libraries.vermont.gov/libraries/gates/eligible.pdf.
This fall, the Vermont Public Library Foundation's new Winnie Belle
Learned Fund offered a second round of grants in honor of Dr. Burnett
Rawson's benefactress Winnie Belle Learned, a Vermont educator.
The fund's goal is to help small libraries in
Vermont foster literacy, love of learning, critical analysis, and
intellectual exploration in their communities, particularly among
of all ages and their families.
The WBL Fund
awarded $20,000 on a competitive basisin grants ranging from $500 to
$2,500 to help public libraries enrich the intellectual lives of
and families in their communities.
A list of
grantees is available at http://www.libraries.vermont.gov/libraries/vplf/vplf.html.
Moretown Memorial Library joined the ranks of public libraries meeting the minimum standards for the first time ever this year. All together, 144 meet the standards which reflect basic services that should be available at any public library in Vermont. Moretown librarian Polly Bentley and her board of trustees have spent the past year increasing hours (from 2 to 14 per week), promoting programs and services, making community connections, increasing annual town support, and applying for grants. An additional result of this effort has been the awarding of a Children's Literacy Foundation (CLiF) grant this fall.

Vermont librarians are using social software in many different ways. Keep an eye out for new features at WebJunction (http://vt.webjunction.org). Watch for ideas borrowed like Facebook and social bookmarking. Amy Howlett is representing Vermont reactions as part of the Members Experience Work Group. Contact her with feedback on how WebJunction functions for you.
One 2.0 idea librarians might try now: a toolbar that links quickly to Vermont content. The free download is available at http://vtwebjunction.MyLibraryToolbar.com . Choose the Firefox download or the Internet Explorer (for IE 5.0 and up), depending on your internet browser. If you need a free updated browser before downloading the toolbar, try Mozilla's Firefox browser from http://www.mozilla.com/. Firefox is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
What will the new Vermont Libraries toolbar do? Sheila Kearns is experimenting to find the most useful links for the toolbar. The drop down menu for Vermont Library Links takes you directly to Department of Libraries (DOL) sites like the VALS webmail or ILL on Web2. The DOL Continuing Education Calendar, where librarians sign up for workshops, is only a click away.
The Search Box on the toolbar can be tailored to a variety of uses. Not sure where to find a DOL grant or the list of jobber contracts? Use the left arrow on the Search Box and highlight "Dept. of Libraries." The Search Box then searches the DOL website to locate sites matching the terms. The Search Box offers other useful sites to search like Worldcat, an online dictionary or encyclopedia.
Suggestions to improve the toolbar can be sent directly to Sheila Kearns (email@example.com) or you may use the "Message" function on the toolbar to share your suggestion with all toolbar users.

Patrons and officials from Vermont's Division for the Blind & Visually Impaired and the Vermont Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired previewed the new digital book player developed for Special Services patrons at a recent reception at the Department of Libraries Special Services Unit. Compared to the tape player currently in use, the new digital machine is smaller and lighter in weight, and has a longer battery life and easier-to-push buttons. The new players utilize USB flash technology. Recorded books will be on cartridges slightly smaller in size than cassette tapes, but with far greater capacity. Most books will fit onto one cartridge each, with no rewinding or switching sides necessary.
Distribution of the new digital book players is scheduled to begin next fall. The current books on cassette tape are expected to be retained for several years during the transition. The digital prototype was demonstrated by Deborah Toomey, a consultant from the Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind & Physically Handicapped. An NLS consultant makes a biennial visit to Special Services to answer questions, make suggestions, and see how well SSU conforms to nationally recognized service standards.

How do you get library users more comfortable with the Vermont Online Library (VOL) databases? Consider teaching a basic workshop created for librarians by the Department of Libraries. You can use Microsoft PowerPoint® for the screen shots with a tailored script, slide by slide, or choose a stand-alone script to use without PowerPoint®. Either method may help you "sell" these valuable databases to your public, for use in the library and at home or office.
If your library has access to an LCD projector and computer, PowerPoint® is the easiest method of instruction. The instructor follows the script, using the screenshots in the PowerPoint® to illustrate each step. This approach does not require a live connection to the internet, making it ideal for a presentation to the Rotary, Parent-Teacher group, or small class, including outside the library.
The stand-alone script requires a good internet connection, which is fine for a small computer group. If your library has a computer lab or computers clustered together, this might be a good way to introduce a small group to VOL.
Either "canned" introduction to the VOL includes information for users logging on outside the library. The basic steps begin with PowerSearch. The last few screens show the Health and Wellness Resource Center, a good location for current medical reference books and articles that are often a hit with first-time VOL users. Recommended handouts for the workshop include a user instruction sheet (download from WebJunction) and the glossy Gale brochure from the Department of Libraries at (802) 828-3261.
These workshops are posted at WebJunction at the link for Vermont Continuing Ed. Discussions, http://vt.webjunction.org/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=156. Warning on the PowerPoint file: it takes some time to download even with a fast connection. Feel free to request the CD from Amy Howlett (firstname.lastname@example.com) instead of downloading.

DOL ACQUIRES NEW LIBRARY SCIENCE DVDs
The Department of Libraries has acquired a number of new DVDs designed to help librarians and trustees do their jobs betters. These may be borrowed from the Midstate Regional Library (firstname.lastname@example.com ) for viewing at home or at a library meeting. They are excellent discussion starters for staff or volunteer meetings. The five titles include:
- Conducting the Reference Interview – reviews the four stages of helping people answer questions completely in person, on the phone, and online. Also discusses working with children, difficult customers, and non-English speakers unused to using public libraries.
- I Need a Book! – is an overview of the readers' advisory process, focusing on appeal characteristics (frame, characterization, pacing, and storyline) and covering both fiction and nonfiction. The stop/start format is a helpful discussion builder.
- Holding an Effective Meeting – goes over the elements to keeping on track, getting something done, reaching consensus and dealing with disruptive group members. Particularly useful for moderators or chairs of committees or boards.
- Merchandising Strategies: Marketing Your Library – offers practical hints for creating interesting, eye-catching displays, some requiring little or no expense.
- Solving Difficult Situations – offers suggestions for dealing with bomb threats, suspicious packages, violent patrons, sexual harassment, and inappropriate internet use from librarians, police officers, and an attorney.
Are you looking for large print magazines for your visually-impaired patrons? I've received a few questions about what's available and I wanted to share the results of my research with you. There are not many. Most large print magazines deal with blindness or specific diseases (e.g., Deaf-Blind Perspectives, Voice of the Diabetic), particular religious persuasions (e.g., Living with Moshiach, Lutheran Witness), or are meant for school kids (e.g., Current Science, Weekly Reader). Some puzzle magazines are available in large print, but they're probably not suitable for public library purchase.
Complete Directory of Large Print Books & Serials
(Bowker, 2006).
Special Media,
(NLS, 2005), and
for Public Libraries
(EBSCO, 2006) seem to reveal
only three mainstream magazines available in large print:
- By far the most popular is Reader's Digest Large Print Edition. A subscription costs $27.96 per year. If there's only one thing you do for the visually-impaired at your library, this could be it. The large print issue contains only about 2/3 of the regular print issue's contents. We have sample issues if you'd like to see one or show it to a possible donor.
- The next most popular is Guideposts Large Print Edition, even cheaper at $16.97 a year. Founded by minister and positive-thinker Norman Vincent Peale, the magazine calls itself "interfaith" and "inspirational." This was chicken soup for the soul before that series was ever hatched. We have sample issues of this magazine, also.
- For the hard-core news fan, but more expensive, is the New York Times Large Type Weekly, which via surface mail costs about $86 a year; faster delivery costs $172. Sorry, we don't have this one, and I have not seen an issue myself. Sounds good, though.
Large print patrons registered with Special Services have access to Reader's Digest and Guideposts in large print. We get 8 copies of each and ask patrons to return them after reading so we can pass them along to others. Our talking book patrons have access to more than 40 magazines in talking book format, and newspapers in synthesized voice over the phone.

Public Libraries in the United States: Fiscal Year 2005 was recently released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The annual publication includes national and state summary data on public libraries in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, with an introduction, selected findings, and several tables. The report, based on data from the Public Libraries Survey for fiscal year 2005, includes information on population of legal service area, service outlets, library collections and services, full-time equivalent staff, and operating revenue and expenditures. Among the key findings:
- There are 9,198 public libraries (administrative entities) and 1,544 (17%) have a total of 7,503 branch libraries
- 53% of public libraries are part of a municipal government, 15% are incorporated or nonprofit association libraries, 14% are separate government units or library districts, 10% are part of a county or parish, 3% are multijurisdictional (e.g;., Vermont's "community" libraries), 2% are part of a school district, 1% are part of a city/county arrangement, and 1% are classified as "other."
- Nationwide, visits to public libraries totaled 1.4 billion, or 4.7 library visits per capita.
- 2.1 billion library materials of all types were circulated in FY2005, or 7.5 items per capita.
- Internet terminals available for public use in public libraries nationwide total 185,179, or 3.2 per 5,000 population. The average number of Internet terminals available for public use per stationary outlet was 11.2.
- In FY2005, 81% of public libraries' total operating revenue of about $9.7 billion came from local (tax) sources, 10% from state sources, less than 1% from federal sources, and 8% from other sources such as fund raising, interest on savings or endowments, gifts, and donations.
- Nationwide the average per capita operating expenditure for public libraries was $31.65 in FY2005.

Many new and innovative changes are taking place in library catalogs these days. "Next generation catalogs" are making use of many types of social software, often allowing more user input as well as innovative displays. Several libraries have added faceted searching capabilities, cloud tags, and bread crumbing (search history displays) to their catalogs, enabling users to search in more ways than was possible in traditional catalogs. Some libraries are bypassing vendor library systems for open source systems that allow for more individualized customization.
For more information regarding the sites mentioned as well as other interesting and innovative sites, refer to http://futurelib.pbwiki.com/Examples.
In 2009, RDA (Resource Description and Access) will become the new standard cataloging rules for description and access, replacing AACR2(Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Revised edition). In an effort to solicit those outside the library community to help with cataloging tasks, the Joint Steering Committee for the Revision of AACR has outlined several goals for RDA:
To achieve these goals RDA will include many changes to the current AACRconcepts, including:
Work –
the distinct intellectual or artistic creation
(i.e. a Shakespearean play, a novel, a movie)
the form of a work as a result of any
alteration of the intellectual or artistic content of a work.(i.e.
translations, revisions, updates, abridgements, annotations, critical
editions) produces a new expression
the format (i.e. book, periodical, map, poster,
CD-ROM, DVD, manuscript)
a single manifestation (i.e. a copy or item;
PDF, HTML, paper copy)
An example of FRBR at its best is Fiction Finder (http://fictionfinder.oclc.org/)
that indexes records at the Work Level and
displays items organized by Work and Expression (mostly by
In conclusion, the current cataloging rules do not provide ample mapping of relationships back to the central work. FRBR will provide a new way to group and navigate to related works. Not only will resources be described, more access to the resources will be provided. If you would like to read more about the changes on the horizon, the following websites may be helpful:

So I came to comicbookmovie.com as a lurker around 2011, when the hype machine was beginning to build for both The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises. Needless to say, the epic flame wars that arose during that time pretty much guaranteed that I'd STAY as a lurker...until I finally couldn't help myself from spouting off my opinions for everyone to see.
So here I am, a few years later, and I'm only now deciding to write something here. I figured I'd open some windows and shed some light on what actually makes me tick...because I'm sure everyone is DYING to know.
This might make me look arrogant or closed-minded or whatever, but here are my top non-negotiable, un-arguable, set-in-stone, not-in-any-particular-order "rules" that I firmly believe in when it comes to movies, fans, opinions, and anything else that can be found on a site like this:
1) The Hobbit movies are crap
Yeah, I said it. I loved all of Tolkien's Middle-earth books, I really liked Peter Jackson's LotR trilogy (there's still PLENTY of flaws)...but The Hobbit movies are crap. In fact, the first Hobbit film is what inspired me to actually start writing my polarizing, sometimes-controversial editorials. So there's that.
2) Everyone absolutely has a right to say their opinions...but not all opinions are equal
This not only applies to movies; it's basically a fact of life. Some opinions are just more informed than others. Some people actually do the research, learn all they can, and spend more time developing an opinion on something than others.
So when two users are talking about a certain movie and one likes it because it has hot women, lots of explosions, cool lines of dialogue, and the superhero's costume is comic book accurate...while the other actually appreciates the plot of the story, the writing of the characters, the thematic through-lines that manage to be relevant to the world today...guess who's opinion you should value over the other?
3) Critics are critics for a reason
Namely, it's because they actually know a thing or two about movies. In fact, they most likely know more about film and the film industry than any fans who like to think of themselves as experts.
Personally, I usually like to defer to the people who actually, you know, get paid and make a living by reviewing, studying, and knowing movies and how they work.
Of course, there are some who are biased and don't really know much about what they're talking about. But for every one of those types of critics, there's a dozen more who are objective, impartial, knowledgeable, and deserve to be heard.
Enough with the conspiracy theories of how all critics are "hacks" and should be dismissed entirely. Grow up, read reviews, temper expectations accordingly, and then ultimately make up your own mind. It's not that hard, and it shouldn't be controversial.
4) For Christ's sake: LEARN HOW TO ARGUE ON THE INTERNET.
This is a biggie. Most kids think that the only way to debate someone who disagrees with them is to hurl insults, make condescending remarks, and basically do the equivalent of screaming at strangers on a megaphone in order to get their point across.
Ugh. There's ways of calmly, rationally, logically defending your argument without resorting to trolling.
The big thing to understand is that NO MOVIE IS PERFECT. And so when you're defending your favorite movie...admit that there's flaws. Seriously, it's okay. That doesn't negate your entire argument, it doesn't mean you're a bad person. It just means you're realistic. And it goes a long way towards telling people that you are level-headed and able to listen to reason...not some irrational troll who thinks that their favorite movie is beyond ANY and ALL reproach.
Another thing to remember is that you're allowed to admit that you're wrong. Or if you can't do that, at least admit that some parts of your argument are flawed. Again, that's perfectly okay too. It's better to do that than to keep on railing at the other person...even when you yourself are beginning to realize that you're talking BS.
Basically, I try to find the middle ground in everything. No movie is perfect...but all movies have at least SOME type of redeeming factor as well. I try not to come into a discussion with the mindset of: "It's my way or the highway!" I firmly believe in what I believe...but there's some leeway there. I could be COMPLETELY wrong, or some small parts of what I believe could be flawed and subject to re-examination. It's not the end of the world!
5) Racism, sexism, misogyny, etc are MAJOR issues in the gaming/film/television industry...ESPECIALLY when the source material is comic books. No further explanation should be needed.
6) "Plot Holes" are not what you think they are.
The popular YouTube channels of "CinemaSins", "How it Should Have Ended", and "Honest Trailers" are fun, hilarious, eye-opening videos (if not a little too long and nitpicky, though). They are also obviously played for laughs. But unfortunately, most people don't understand that and so these videos have driven home the mentality of watching movies while trying to nitpick EVERY little detail possible.
Let's get this straight: EVERY MOVIE HAS "PLOT HOLES". You know why? BECAUSE MOVIES AREN'T REALITY. They are inherently fiction. Movies take shortcuts, cheat physics, and make no logical sense sometimes because that's what's needed in order to make a story better. So I laugh whenever people get so wrapped up in how "bad" movies are, simply because "It wouldn't happen like that in real life." No crap! Movies aren't real life, and they never will be. Bad movies have plot holes, and amazing movies have plot holes, and everything in between does as well. Get over it!

Your argument still makes exactly zero sense.
Look at my username. "Hoosier205". I am a Hoosier. From Indiana. I am a Colts fan. The Colts are a division rival of the Jaguars. I dislike the Jaguars. I dislike Jacksonville, FL. I laugh heartily at that franchise and their fanbase. Hence my earlier comment:
...you are taking this far more seriously than it was intended.
My argument? I said:
If Jacksonville didn't reduce their capacity with tarps, they would be dead last. Throw a tarp over the whole stadium.
I WAS JOKING! Good lord... :rolleyes:

Arizona Cardinals
How did the Arizona Cardinals spend their bye week?
The bye week came at a much-needed time for the Arizona Cardinals.
While the Redbirds certainly limped into their Week 10 hiatus on the heels of a five-game losing streak, not all of their time off was spent on the practice field.
The Cardinals got back to the fundamentals this week, but after Thursday's practice the team was given the weekend off to regroup.
Since the hectic 17-week season keeps players away from their families during the holiday season, any time an extended reprieve from the field is granted, everyone jumps at the opportunity.
Here's a taste of what members of the Cardinals were doing with their respective weekends:
Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett kept tabs on some of the top-ranked teams in college football.

SpainxReader Tomato-Flavored Kiss -Oneshot-
"So did you two kiss yet?" your best friend asked curiously one day in school. She flashed her usual grin, pointing out a what you supposed to be an invisible microphone.
It was the middle of lunch time, you two were at your usual spot in the room, eating lunch like always. At that time you were stuffing a sandwich in you mouth before she made, what seems to you, a ridiculous question.
"Afghdsf!" you choked out, patting on your chest to let the food flow in. "W-w-what?!"
(Best Friend's Name) laughed at you reaction and shook her head, while your cheeks went bright red. She started to wipe her tears of joy and look back at you with a grin.
"Don't tell me you haven't kissed?" she asked leaning on your shoulder.
You look away and took another bite of your sandwich. 'We only been dating for 2 weeks already...how do you expect us to kiss?!' you thought, slightly pouting as you saw (bff/n) giggle.
"Aww,what a shame~! Antonio wants one,ya know~?" she singed putting her hand on her cheek.
"W-W-Whatever!!" you exclaimed, your head filled with pictures of Antonio leaning on you for a kiss.
It was true though, you always wonder if he wanted a small, but simple kiss, but he didn't even show he wants one. Besides, you wouldnt have the guts to kiss your boyfriend, Antonio Fernández Carriedo. His curly brown hair, green eyes, lightly tanned skin , made you flutter inside like crazy.
"Well, well, well. Would you look at that~!" (bff/n) exclaimed, disturbed you from your thoughts. "Its Antonio!"
"_______~!" he sang, tackling you with a hug.
"Get away from me,dammit!"
"Aww why,______?" he complaining squeezing you a bit more.
"Get...er...hmpf." you stopped complaining. You let him hug you; it not that you didn't like it either.
"Ahh! Antonio?" (bff/n) asked, grinning like a maniac. "What do you think a first kiss taste like?"
Antonio stopped squeezing you and look at (bff/n). You could tell he was thinking.
"(bff/n)!!!" you exclaimed, blushing a bit more. "Don't ask him that!"
(bff/n) giggled and skip to the roof door. She slightly opened the door and looked back.
"Think about it, Antonio~!"
Before you could say anything more, she left. You sighed as she left, (bff/n) can always make these ridiculous questions. You turn to glance at Antonio; he looked like he was still thinking. Not worrying about it, you tried to finished your lunch.
"How do a first kiss taste like?"
"Afghdsf! Akf..." you once again choked in your food. "Argh...W-what?"
"You know just like (bff/n) said!" he said, sounding a bit eager. "I bet it taste like....Tomatoes!"
You slanted your eye lids and sighed how he was thinking. His love for tomatoes was to hard to explain. But you couldn't help to laugh how weird his statement was.
"How is tha-"
A pair of soft lips stopped you from finnishing. No, not just a pair a soft lips, but Antonio's soft lips on your lips. You slightly jerked back from him but he pulled you back with a hug. The kiss had a hint of a taste of tomatoes. He slowly separated you from him.
"Tomato Kiss~!" he exclaimed as giving his fabulous smile. You look at him, opening you mouth and closing in every few minutes. His smile grew bigger seeing how fluster you were acting.
"Want another one, querida?" he asked slyly.
"Ahfk...lo.." you stuttered blushing bright red.
He laughed and grabed your cheeks and said, "Mi tomatito~!"
~Le Time Skip~
"So, Antonio?" (bff/n) asked one day while you were outside the classroom helping the teacher. "Do you know what a first kiss taste like?"
Antonio smiled and replied," Si~! It taste like... -You enter the room door and made your way to them- like tomatoes~!"
You stopped as you heard what he said and you saw him winking at you. You looked away, sensing that your cheeks went bright red.
'That is how our first kiss taste like.'

Today UCS is releasing a report that outlines steep increases in the frequency, extent, and duration of tidal flooding for communities along the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts. Riding on higher seas over the next 15 and 30 years, the tides alone have the potential to start reshaping how and where people in affected areas live, work, and otherwise go about their daily lives. And by causing certain areas to be regularly flooded, sea level rise has the potential to effectively claim land decades before that land is projected to be permanently underwater. We need to understand what we're dealing with and start responding. Read More

Sea Level Rise and Tidal Flooding: Forthcoming Report on Encroaching Tides Signals a New Chapter for Many Coastal Communities
October 2nd, 2014
There are things we know pretty well about the effects of sea level rise. Today it is making damage from storm surge worse. In the second half of this century, it will permanently inundate certain places. In between, it is rising, and at an accelerating rate. But there are things we don't understand nearly well enough for a country with a third of its population living in coastal counties. Things like: What effect will it have on coastal communities over just the next several decades?
Next week, UCS is releasing a new report that takes a hard look at this question for the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts, and outlines in detail the central and disruptive role that tidal flooding is poised to play. Read More

Florida Sea Level Rise: A State's Race Against The Sea

Sea level rise experts from across Florida and around the world convened in Fort Lauderdale recently to discuss the latest science and strategies for sea level rise adaptation. And as if to urge them on, the king tides rose as conference goers watched, topping canal walls and spilling onto roads. That summit, the second annual held by Florida Atlantic University, dovetails with this week's sold-out gathering on advancing coastal adaptation action, which brings together state leaders from four southeastern counties. Those who understand what's at stake here are in a dead sprint for solutions.

Water Tight: Our Climate Change Future Requires Our Water Smarts Today
July 25th, 2013
It would just be ironic if it weren't so dangerous: Today our power sector depends heavily on water, even as its carbon emissions help drive climate change, which can make water resources harder for everyone, power sector included, to secure. Fast forward a few decades to when some of the key factors at play have grown more extreme – e.g., hotter and drier summers, more erratic water supply – and things eventually stop adding up. To have secure power and water in a warming world requires that we act smarter today. Our new energy-water report suggests how. Read More

Not least among these, we saw how our power sector strained under the kind of searing summer conditions our mid-century selves may find commonplace. Our electricity system, it turns out, wasn't built for summers like 2012, and it showed. Read More

A Message from Head of Civil Engineering
I would like to welcome you to the Civil Engineering section of the NUI Galway website.
Since its foundation in 1849, the National University of Ireland, Galway has served as a centre of excellence for teaching and research in Civil Engineering, equipping thousands of graduates with the skills needed to make substantial contributions to the profession all around the world. The move to Ireland's largest engineering education building in 2011 has further helped to propel us to the forefront of teaching and research on an international stage.
At undergraduate level, we offer a 4-year BE degree (Level 8) in Civil Engineering, which is constantly evolving with the needs of the profession. In 2009, we introduced a new interdisciplinary 4-year BE degree (Level 8) in Energy Systems Engineering, which exposes students to latest developments and innovations within the fast-moving energy sector, supported by Civil Engineering and other Engineering disciplines. BE degree programmes at NUI Galway are accredited by Engineers Ireland and are recognized internationally by professional institutions under the Washington Accord, allowing our graduates to travel widely. In addition, we offer a 4-year BSc degree in Project and Construction Management which teaches management principles for construction and other professionals.
At postgraduate level, there are various taught or research programmes that can be taken. In 2013, two new one-year taught ME programmes (Level 9) were launched in Civil Engineering and Energy Systems Engineering. These programmes meet the educational requirements for engineers who would ultimately like to progress to becoming Chartered Engineers. In addition, MEngSc (Level 9) and Structured PhD (Level 10) research degrees are offered, with approximately 50 students registered for these programmes. The emphasis on research in Civil Engineering is very strong with staff involved in a wide range of projects. Research activities span a broad spectrum of Civil Engineering subjects, which include (but are not limited to) concrete, steel and timber structures, environmental engineering, highway engineering, geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, wind engineering, building energy management, offshore and coastal engineering, construction management, advanced materials and computational mechanics. This research is funded by industrial partners and several national and international funding agencies, including Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and the European Union (EU). Much of the research is interdisciplinary and is aligned with the University's major research themes; for example, some academic staff work within research institutes such as the Ryan Institute for Environment, Marine and Energyand Insight.
If you would like to discuss our programme offerings or research possibilities, please contact myself at firstname.lastname@example.com or 091-492021, or our Civil Engineering Administrator Brid Flaherty at firstname.lastname@example.com or 091-492170.

An 88-year-old woman says she mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brake and crashed into a Hyannis building Saturday, according to police.
The woman told Hyannis police that she was pulling into a parking lot on Route 132 when she said she struck another car that ran a stop sign. She said she then accidentally hit the gas and rammed into an empty building next to a T-Mobile store.
The woman was transported to Cape Cod Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Police have not yet issued any charges or citations.

Arizona borrowers are not accustomed to judicial foreclosures, as the vast majority of foreclosures in Arizona are non-judicial. However, there are both legal and strategic reasons why a lender might choose judicial foreclosure over a trustee sale.
How Can I leave Money to My Grandchildren without Spoiling Them?
Anyone with a substantial amount of assets eventually asks this question.Wanting to protect and provide for your grandchildren when you die is certainly understandable. However, spoiling them may not be in their best interest. The object then becomes creating an estate plan that provides for your grandchildren without making life too easy for them. With a little bit of thought and the proper estate planning tools you can accomplish your goal.
Estate Tax: How Much is too Much
Taxes are a controversial subject, but most people would probably agree that a tax that takes more of the assets in question than it leaves behind to the rightful owners is questionable. However, this is the situation those in the estate planning community are faced with in 2013 with regard to the federal estate tax.

My cabinet maker will be starting my cabinets in about 2 weeks. I am planning on cherry cabinets (traditional door style) in a burgundy/bordeaux stain. I may also install a small island in the same stain or possibly a painted cream finish. I have been looking at granite slabs and love typhoon bordeaux. Some slabs have more gold tones in them and I think I prefer the creamier color. I am planning on choosing porcelain tile on the floor and was hoping for some help in choosing a color. Should it match the granite? Does anyone have pictures of a typhoon bordeaux countertop? What color flooring did you choose? I would love to see pictures. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have TB on my island- my slab has more of the creamy background.. Most of the slabs i was finding had the golder/yellow/orangy background. I would have loved to do my entire kitchen in TB, but A- it was too pricey and B- once I finally found a good slab there was only 1 and i needed 3. Here is a pic. of my slab.. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it.. There are so many beautiful kitchens on this forum with TB. I hope you get to see all of their kitchens, as mine is only a tiny glimpse of TB. |
I forgot to add. I have HW on the floor, so I am not much help in that department, but I think if you go with almost any taupe (y) cream floor color you will be just fine... Hope this helps at least a little bit. :) |

I have TB as well...very similar to gillylily's and bostonpam's. I have walnut floors, so can't help you with suggestions on tile. But...I would get a sample of the Typhoon Bordeaux granite and take it with you to the tile stores. When you find a few tiles that might go, get samples of those and bring them to your kitchen space to see how they look in the light in different areas and at different times of the day (with the TB sample). It's really amazing how lighting affects the colors. You can see that in bostonpam's picture where she has all the backsplash tiles lined up. Some that you see in the store look totally different in your light. Good luck! We all love our TB! |
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and for posting pictures of your beautiful granite. I've brought home a few sample tiles. I looked at them at different times of the day to see how they look in different lighting and I was finally able to pick one. |

Pensioner's manure plan earns him a fine
Comment on this storyWellington -
An elderly New Zealand anti-royalist was fined on Monday over a plan to hurl manure at Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla during their visit to Auckland in 2012, reports said.
Sam Bracanov, 77, pleaded not guilty to preparing to commit an assault after his arrest on November 12 as the royals readied to meet crowds on the Auckland waterfront while touring to mark Queen Elizabeth II's diamond jubilee.
Judge Anne Kiernan found Bracanov guilty in the Auckland District Court and ordered him to pay a NZ$200 ($160) fine plus NZ$132 in expenses, the New Zealand Herald reported.
Fairfax Media reported that Bracanov, who police described as "a known anti-royalist", was visited by officers ahead of Prince Charles' arrival and he told them he intended to throw manure at the royals.
When warned against the plan, he reportedly responded: "Royal family? I call them the smell family."
After his initial court appearance in November, Bracanov told reporters he was protesting at Charles' privileged position.
"He didn't qualify with his brain, he qualified with his body, and what (the) body produce(s) goes to (the) toilet, so I would hit him with what goes to (the) toilet," he said.
He reportedly attempted a similar action when Prince Charles visited in 1994, trying to spray air freshener at him to "remove the stink of royalty".
In 1988, he threw a bucketful of horse manure at a car carrying King Juan Carlos of Spain on a state visit to New Zealand and was convicted of disorderly behaviour, Fairfax Media reported.
Radio New Zealand said the pensioner would pay off his fine in weekly installments of N$10. - Sapa-AFP

So I wish I could take credit for this genius and delicious recipe, but this was all Russ from The Domestic Man. I didn't make it exactly like he wrote, but if you know me you know that I had to add bacon. Plus I do not use heavy cream so I substituted coconut milk which you will read about below. Outside of that, the extremely talented Russ was the main man. This recipe that I had to try actually came at the perfect time. Why you ask? Because unfortunately I was not nominated for the Saveur awards this year, BUT RUSS WAS!!!! So guess what I want you to do? Come on, you know me well enough by now. So please take a minute and go vote for The Domestic Man HERE.
Just in case you didn't go vote yet like I asked in my last sentence, here is another chance for you. Every vote counts and the more exposure we can get for the Paleo/Primal community the better we can reach the mainstream. We need to enable people to take control of their health and provide them all the options possible when they get here. If you are confused on the voting process, Russ also wrote a brief blog post on the fastest way to get your vote in which you can read HERE. Or if you are like me, and just want to go click through and figure it out, click that picture below this line. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a difference and help Russ get recognized.
- 1 package Cappello's fresh lasagna sheets (12oz)
- 3 cups (24oz) organic pasta sauce
- 1/2 onion, blended
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (thick part from top of can)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons grass-fed butter
- 6 slices bacon
- You are going to follow the instructions for this recipe over at The Domestic Man which is where I got it from with a few modifications.
- You need to cook your bacon until it is crispy. I do this in a 375 degree oven on a aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip the bacon and then remove once it is crispy
- Once your bacon cools, dice it up into fresh bacon bits and set aside
- When you are cooking your beef, add the coconut milk instead of heavy cream
- When you get to the step in the recipe to stuff the ravioli, add your bacon to the beef mixture to go in your ravioli and then add the remaining bacon to your sauce with the extra beef
- Enjoy the rest of the recipe as is

I spend the majority of my time feeling like a failure. I'm not trying to solicit sympathy or be self-deprecating here — I should say, rather, that I prefer to focus on what I haven't accomplished rather than what I have. It's a disease that I aspire to conquer someday. Nevertheless, I have fleeting moments in life, when something happens and I have a glimpse of myself as having hit the apex of life here on earth — like, when I was hanging from the balcony of a Paris apartment about to hit the town for some oysters. I was like, look at me world, I made it! These moments are worth reveling in, like a pig would in a pile of shit, because I tell you, those who share my affliction, they are brief. Keep reading »

Current Issue
Legislators and Legislative Staff Reminder: You must login first to get your free copy.
As the four-year anniversary of the official end of the Great Recession approaches, no strong indication exists that states are entering a robust recovery phase. Rather, states continue to move along the same path of slow and steady growth that gradually has brought them out of the economic nadir. The general outlook from state officials is one of stability, with a dose of uncertainty, as states continue to plod their way through an extended economic recovery. There are some exceptions. A small, but increasing, number of states report moderate to strong fiscal conditions resulting in budget surplus projections. Only a few states find themselves on the other end of the fiscal spectrum, with continuing budget difficulties.
Even with this upbeat assessment of state fiscal conditions, uncertainty still hovers over state finances, as the impact of federal sequestration remains unclear. Some state officials are concerned about how federal fiscal policy could affect state revenues as federal government spending is reduced in both defense and non-defense program areas.
This report is based on data collected in the spring of 2013 from legislative fiscal officers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It includes information on:

SetupCapture crashes while repackaging Remedy 6.3
Article:TECH7842 | | | Created: 2005-09-07 | | | Updated: 2005-09-14 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH7842 |
SetupCapture crashes when repackaging Remedy 6.3 with WPS 5.52.
Remedy 6.3 is an .EXE that contains an .MSI file.
Remedy6_3Client.exe, is an .EXE file that contains an .MSI file. If you install the vendor .EXE file, Remedy6_3Client.exe, you will notice that msiexec.exe is a running process in Task Manager. Since this .EXE file contains an .MSI file, Wise does not recommend capturing this product using SetupCapture. SetupCapture is not designed to capture .MSI applications.
Another indication that an .EXE calls an .MSI is under the Uninstall hive under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstallhive. After installing the application, check the GUID entries under this hive. If you find an entry with a 'DisplayName' value of the product you installed, then the application was installed via .MSI. The GUID is the package's Product Code.
We recommend that you contact the vendor and see if they may have the full .MSI file that you may use to create a transform on the package or any additional information on how to package their application.
