Let's face it, you see the people you work with more often than you see some of your closest friends, family, and sometimes significant others. You get to know each other fairly well and often, you gossip about all of the other people you work with. I'm not going to tell you *not* to do that because I think developing close workplace relationships, and sometimes gossiping, is important to your mental health. But, I want to caution you about breaching trust, especially the trust of your boss.
Personally, I have a good relationship with my boss. He trusts me to tell him what he needs to know to be able to speak on behalf of the library. But, we don't work in the same building and sometimes we go weeks without seeing each other. I can assure you though, that if he told me something big about his plans or campus news, I might tell someone I'm close to just to get it out and vent, but I would absolutely not tell a soul that I work with or works for me. The trust between an employee and a supervisor is one that should not be broken.
When I was a new librarian, I often gossiped in my circle of four. I mean, how could I not? My first professional librarian job opened my eyes to how completely insane a library really can be. I was overwhelmed with the weird, the old-fashioned, the quirky, and the just plane nuts. I needed to get it out. Fortunately, I had a great inner circle of four of us (and we are all still friends today, twelve years later). But, I remember advice there that my mentor gave me once: when the big boss tells you something, they will test you, don't tell stories out of turn. My big boss at the time there was fairly ruthless in the way he lead, but he was also keenly observant and so I wouldn't doubt him doing this sort of double-handed stuff to find out who he could really trust.
At one point, things went so wrong with things at one job because people were outright lying about me and others, that I ended up leaving. Gossip can quickly snowball into something much more hurtful and dangerous and negatively affect people's whole lives.
Fast forward to now, when I am the boss. I've blogged on here before about how lonely being the boss can be, and it's really true. I literally trust just about no one in this library yet, because I am the only new person and I need to keep feeling my way around. Recently, I found out that a person in the library had been gossiping about things they had overheard to a few people and it was causing a lot of consternation among the other staff. Everyone thought this person was right, knew all of my plans, and knew all the answers, but the information (when it finally came back to me) was clearly blown out of proportion. I think this person thought they'd be the favorite staff person if they had all of the inside information. Sigh. What to do? Well, I had to scrap some of my plans totally and discredit the person. You can't move forward as the leader wanting the admiration and needing the ear of one and it costing you the rest of the staff. At some point, I will have to deal with this person's gossiping issues but I have too many other things moving along right now to stop and spend all of my energy corralling a bad apple. But the trust there is gone and it's hard for me because I am still new and need to be able to confide in and have confidence in those that work for me.
So, be careful that your need for admiration from your peers does not come at the cost of the respect of your boss or other coworkers. By all means, socialize with your work friends, but just be careful. Too much scheming often backfires on you. Sometimes, it takes your boss a while to catch on to *who* is spreading the bullshit, but eventually they catch on.
And, I implore you, if you *hear* gossip that feels troubling about your job, then by all means go in to see your boss and ask for some clarification. Don't add fuel the fire. Get your answers from the horses mouth.

Forget Team Edward, Joan is Team Rob! The controversial 'Fashion Police' host admits that she is taking Rob's side in the Rob/Kristen split, because she thinks Kristen is a home wrecker. Yikes!
The ever shy and retiring Joan Rivers has decided to weigh in on the break up drama between Hollywood's hottest former couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and she is totally taking Rob's side! Speaking about their recent breakup, Joan admits she is "Team Rob," and slams Kristen for having an affair with Rupert Sanders.
Joan Rivers: I'm Team Rob
Joan, 80, was asked to choose between Rob and Kristen, and she didn't hesitate to pick Rob.
"I love any girl who takes what she wants," Joan said to E! News on June 13. "Just as long as it's not someone else's husband. So I guess it's Team Rob."
Don't hold back Joan! Joan is of course referring to Kristen's notorious affair with Rupert in July 2012, which happened when Rupert was married to Liberty Ross.
I find it interesting that Joan would choose Rob, considering she publicly dissed him for having poor hygiene.
"I just don't understand the appeal with this man! He is pasty, he mumbles when he talks, he is notorious, as Melissa [Rivers] pointed out, for poor hygiene," exclaimed Joan on E!'s Fashion Police in August 2011.
Brandi Glanville Disses Kristen Stewart For Cheating
Shortly after Kristen's affair was revealed, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville tweeted her disgust at Kristen and Rupert's actions.
"I'm not happy with this K stew BS. 2 close to home. Same story, friends with the wife and kids & f**k the husband wen we think no one is looking."
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Is Joan out of line, or is she right to take Rob's side?

me too joan.is not about love or hate here.it is about truth and honesty.hl has been supporting kristen all along and making rob look like a bad person,while the real villain if i may use the word is kristen.they make it look as if she did nothing and all is out to get her.busy herself playing victim..like i always say,things like that always come back to hunt.hl use to delete comments of those who do not support her often.even calling them haters and jealous.but,i know that one day it will happen,you cannot cover pregnancy for ever.the so -called haters are the ones that are right all along.
Truth well truth is he took a 17yr old and groomed her to be his what ever he wanted was madee a movie star because og her Yet nevber admitted to going out with her being with her never held her hand no show of anything How would you feel especuially knowing women are after hiim?
Kristens not the villain she did wrong paid the fkin price been slammed humiliated threatened
You name it a stronger girl would have cracked she didnt she face dup to what she did was wrong Rob broke up with ehr it was OVER He asked her back and I bet he hated every moment of it
When have you ever seen her play Victim has she been p[hotoed crying her eyes out wrotten blogs LIKE KP did ebvery fkin night No shes done nothing said nothing not gone to bars or concerts as Rob and KP have shes kept well away from press now shes on a cross country holiday with 3 girl pals If you want to name a Villian then its Rupert He was the married man He was old enouhg to be her Dad He had the children He threw it all away for a kiss and a fumble with a 22 year old YES she did wrong but she wasnt married or engaged to Rob he never even said they were together ITS odd girls always blame the girls never the men it was ever thus

d.harris, did I read you right? "HL has been supporting Kristen all along…" Please give me an article title that doesn't belittle Kristen. No one makes you a villain unless you give them cause. Both Kris & Rob are NOT villains, they are paid victims in HL's lies of gossip that has been spun by fans such as yourself…"cannot cover up pregnancy???" Yes, let's add more crap to their ever growing pile of s##t!

Did you think about how the spring-cleaning ritual developed? Before the advent of electricity and a host of other modern conveniences, homes were heated with coal, oil and/or wood, and lit by gas or candlelight. Soot and grime were the natural companions of winter. Once spring arrived, the doors were thrown open, and everything—rugs, furniture, cupboards, curtains, and more – was aired out, clean out, swept out, and scrubbed out.
Cedar Hill Baptist
It was good to have Bob and Judy Cull with us as Bob shared from God's word on prayer. We believe in prayer and in God's promises, but too often we do not use the power of prayer to the potential it has in our lives. The Bible tells us to pray persistently and to pray without ceasing. Too often we as Christians use it as a last resort. As Christians, we can be confident that God always hears our prayers and will answer them.
Bro. Joe Davis, a missionary to West Africa, gave a talk about his work in Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau to the church's combined Sunday School classes. Bro. Davis later brought the message in the Sunday service. He taught as Christians, we are called to spread the Gospel to the world. God knows no geographic or political boundaries — our mission field can be anywhere there are lost people. He said God chooses ordinary vessels to do his work, and we must make ourselves available for his purpose. Many thanks to Bro. Joe and his lovely wife, Joyce.
It was a nice weekend. UK won, the rain stopped before the creek got too far out of its banks and into the church basement, and Rachel and Chris came down for supper Sunday evening and brought the great-grandchildren. They went home just before both Sandy and I had a nervous breakdown. They are beautiful, adorable and loud. They're 2 and 4. What can one expect? Rachel is expecting her third at the end of this month. Small children and babies are definitely for the young.
David Lyons, center, executive vice president of First Farmers Bank, presents a check to Owen County Boys Basketball Head Coach Devin Duvall, left, accompanied by Owen County High School Athletic Director TJ Wesselman, right. The donation was based on the number of 3-pointers made during the regular season. This year, the donation was at least $830.
In the past, Owen countians have seen some bad winters when snow drifted over fence posts, the Kentucky River froze, long-standing shade trees in front yards had to be cut down because at times the cold and snow prevented a journey to the woods for fuel. As February made its exit, folks looked forward to spring, and memories of cold and snow gave way to anticipation of house cleaning (at least for the women), planting crops, incubating chicks, and fishing.
The other day I read an article written by Sharon Miller, a woman who stopped wearing makeup "as an act of Christian discipleship." She was getting ready to go shopping with her in-laws and as she went through her usual morning routine of blow-drying her hair and picking out an outfit, she decided to go to the mall sans makeup. She said she had been inspired by a book, "Dance of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Women's Spirituality," by Maria Harris.
Sunday was a rainy and gloomy day, but you couldn't tell it by all the love, singing and praising the Lord that went on inside our little church. Our church opened up with Bro. James welcoming everyone and our choir, "New Beginnings," singing "Let's Just Praise the Lord and Holy Ground." Cecila did a wonderful job singing "Your Secret Place." Also, Joy and her puppet, Rover, put on a little skit called "You can't get brownie points by making brownies."
The Sunday message pastor Brad Vincent will deliver comes from Isaiah chapter 11 and is titled "The True Vine." Judah and Israel had become corrupt and unfaithful to the point God allowed His people to be conquered by Assyria as judgement for their not following Him. However, in chapter 11, the prophet Isaiah is extending hope to a devastated Jerusalem by reassuring the people of a coming King.
Zumba fitness classes will be held 6:30-7:30 each Friday night at the church gym. The class is led by Julie O'Banion and is $5 per class. Meeting the Needs Ministry is collecting laundry detergent through February. Boxes are located in the MBC back foyer for donated items. Our next night to work at Meeting the Needs is 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. The monthly men's prayer breakfast will be at 8 a.m. March 5.

defined program objectives, plans, personnel, and budget, and should be monitored by regular progress reports to the executive committee and board of directors.
According to Cook,3 Safety is a characteristic of systems and not of their components. Safety is an emergent property of systems. In order for this property to arise, health care organizations must develop a systems orientation to patient safety, rather than an orientation that finds and attaches blame to individuals. It would be hard to overestimate the underlying, critical importance of developing such a culture of safety to any efforts that are made to reduce error. The most important barrier to improving patient safety is lack of awareness of the extent to which errors occur daily in all health care settings and organizations. This lack of awareness exists because the vast majority of errors are not reported, and they are not reported because personnel fear they will be punished.
Health care organizations should establish nonpunitive environments and systems for reporting errors and accidents within their organizations. Just as important, they should develop and maintain an ongoing process for the discovery, clarification, and incorporation of basic principles and innovations for safe design and should use this knowledge in understanding the reasons for hazardous conditions and ways to reduce these vulnerabilities. To accomplish these tasks requires that health care organizations provide resources to monitor and evaluate errors and to implement methods to reduce them.
Organizations should incorporate well-known design principles in their work environment. For example, standardization and simplification are two fundamental human factors principles that are widely used in safe industries and widely ignored in health care.
They should also establish interdisciplinary team training programs—including the use of simulation for trainees and experienced practitioners for personnel in areas such as the emergency department, intensive care unit, and operating room; and incorporating proven methods of managing work in teams as exemplified in aviation (where it is known as crew resource management).
RECOMMENDATION 8.2 Health care organizations should implement proven medication safety practices.
A number of practices have been shown to reduce errors in the medication process and to exemplify known methods for improving safety. The committee believes they warrant strong consideration by health care organi-

Determining Carbon Footprint of Human
Name: Maddi Status: student Grade: 9-12 Location: WI Country: USA Date: Fall 2013
How is the carbon foot print determined for a human being?
Hi Maddi,
Thanks for the question. There is no exact way to calculate or even measure the carbon footprint of a human being. Estimates are used instead. Let me explain. One estimates how much a typical human weighs and calculates the amount of food they eat and how far on average they drive to work and what a typical person uses in terms of utilities (water, electricity, sewage, gas, etc.). Estimates are then made of how much carbon dioxide is generated from these activities. The total amount of carbon dioxide produced then is the carbon footprint of a human. It should be born in mind that these are estimates and vary widely from country to country as well as within a country.
I hope this helps. Thanks Jeff Grell

Also, I don't really like it that much when people use gender pronouns to talk about me, introduce me, talk to me or refer to me... It doesn't make me mad at all so if you have, please know I won't even bring it up and certainty anger is not simmering under the surface, it just makes me a bit uncomfortable and sometimes I freak out once and a while to myself.

New apparel is now being outsourced from the USA and Europe. Several logos and styles are available. Please let me know if there are any additional styles that you'd like to see.
Iron Woody Bands are continuous loop bands. They are useful on their own for several strength based movements (ex. good mornings, chest press, etc.). They are also useful additions to a powerlifting program (ex. dynamic bench work and reverse band benching).
Bands can also be useful in rehab settings and to assist with bodyweight movements that may otherwise be too difficult (ex. band assisted pull-ups). |
If you'd like to make your own gymnastic rings (or a homemade suspension trainer), you can purchase strong nylon straps at the Strapworks online store. These are the best straps I've used for my rings and suspension trainers.

L.A. Shuts Down Ride-App Services, Provides a Lesson on Regulation
Submitted by Marc Clair on Wed, 06/26/2013 - 10:30Many of my friends here in Los Angeles are rightfully outraged at the cease-and-desist order that the Los Angeles Department of Transportation sent to up and coming, popular ride-app companies Lyft, Uber, and Sidecar, ordering them to halt business within the City of Los Angeles.
LA Weekly ran a portion of the the letter sent by LA DOT taxicab administrator Thomas Dischler, which accuses the three upstart companies of:
… operating an unlicensed, for-profit commercial transportation service in the City of Los Angeles. In the interest of public safety, Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar are hereby directed to cease and desist from picking up passengers within the City of Los Angeles.
Well thankfully we have our lords and saviors of the City of Los Angeles DOT to keep us "safe" from those dastardly ride-sharing companies! Of course, all government regulation at any level is done in the name of keeping the otherwise-ignorant citizens "safe" from one thing or another. Whether it's large sodas, frisbees, or ride-sharing services, bureaucrats everywhere are always itching for the next industry or company they can ban, or at least regulate and get their cut.
If my Facebook feed is any indication, these services (Lyft in particular) have become fairly popular out here in La-La Land. Are all of my peers who use these services too stupid to decide if the ones they choose are safe or not? How many times has one of us been in a crazy taxicab going 90 mph swerving all over the road, or been cut off by one? Does anyone actually believe that "certified" taxi drivers are somehow magically safer to be driving us around town than a driver of any one of these ride-share services?

a Designated Driver service in Pittsburgh called Pears Cares that meets you out and drives your car home for you if you've had too much to drink. The taxi cab industry in Pittsburgh has been strongly against this and has lobbied the city and country to shut them down for not having proper registrations. Nevermind that they are making society safer and filling a need the State's heavily regulated taxi services have not met.

Staples Street Bus Station
Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi, TX
Contributed by Project for Public Spaces
By making people-friendly improvements, this place - serving up to 5,000 users daily - went beyond the typical transit center and is helping reshape the surrounding community.
Why It Works
The front of the station, which serves 14 bus routes and some 5,000 transit users per day, resembles a Spanish-style civic building; in the back, high metal roofs supported on steel columns mimic the feel of a 19th-century train shed. 1500 hand-painted ceramic tiles produced through a public art project decorate the entry arch, column bases, benches, planters, light fixtures and phone booths. At the station's heart is an open space surrounded by trees in tiled planters, designed as a focal point for vending or a fountain.
Corpus Christi's Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) found that by making people-friendly improvements to such transit centers, it is able to reach beyond the boundaries of building typical bus stops to the larger goal of helping to reshape communities. The Staples Street station brings more passengers to the area, thereby encouraging economic activity. Inside, it provides enhanced passenger services, greater comfort, and a sense of safety and community among users and staff, as well as further opportunities for retail development.
The Staples Street Bus Station was well-received throughout the city, and acclaimed around the U.S. as the embodiment of a groundbreaking approach to the design of transit facilities.
What Makes Staples Street Bus Station a Great Place?
The station is across the street from City Hall.
Large number of transit users at this place make it safer and more secure than typical bus stops. Trees, artwork, and architectural forms make it a pleasant place, though the atmosphere could be enhanced with food and beverage carts, cafes, or other retail opportunities surrounding the station, and simple entertainment. Main complaints expressed by transit users were inadequacy shelter during heavy rain and wind, and a lack of restrooms.
Ridership increased notably with the consolidation of area bus stops at this one station. The station design allows for small retail uses to be accommodated on site: retail kiosks within the walls in front, and vending carts in the open space. These opportunities have not been taken advantage of, though they're under consideration. The surrounding area could also use more restaurants and retail to serve the large numbers of riders congregating here.
The new bus transfer center has become almost a town square or plaza not only because of the number of people who are compelled to pass through it, but also since it attracts other people who simply come there to "hang out." Transit users know that they will encounter friends and acquaintances there and even meet new people, as they wait for their buses. In the afternoon, when the largest numbers of people are present, the station has a festive feeling about it, with people socializing and meeting friends. Bus drivers waiting for their riders appear to be well-known by passengers and often greet them, chatting with their colleagues as well.
History & Background
The Staples Street City Hall bus transfer center opened in February 1994. Project for Public Spaces received a Federal Design Achievement Award for its work on this station, as part of the National Endowment for the Arts Presidential Design Awards Program.
Community involvement, both in terms of developing the design as well as in actual participation in the project, was deemed critical to the Staples Street Station's success. It was one of a series of projects to streets/transit facility improvement projects that PPS did in conjunction with the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority from 1991 to 1996. Community workshops served to develop innovative enhancements for trolley and bus stops, the City Hall bus transfer center, and streetscapes. Plans included newsstands, plants, vending facilities and carts, an arcade facade along a retail area, angled parking in suitable areas, and public sculpture.
The RTA's transit center-based approach is designed to supplement, or even replace bus stops along corridors. Through rescheduling, the RTA brought as many as 14 routes together, thus congregating large numbers of transit users and necessitating a larger facility than a simple bus stop - and thus potentially creating new nodes of retail or other activity, as well as pleasant waiting places.
The Corpus Christi RTA and its capital improvements are funded by a 1/2 percent sales tax. A Federal Transit Administration grant of $800,00 was utilized for the completion of the Staples Street Station. FTA Livable Communities funding is being used for pedestrian improvements to existing transit centers.

Collection Development Policy
Collection Development
A. Mission Statement:
To fuel Sioux Center's passion for reading, personal growth, and learning.
The city of Sioux Center, with a population of 7210* and a county population of 34,268* is located in extreme Northwest Iowa. In addition to the public library, library services are also offered by two elementary schools, a high school, a four-year liberal arts college, and nine churches.
The city provides excellent athletic facilities, including an all-weather track, a golf course, tennis courts, baseball and softball diamonds, a racquetball court, and a gymnasium and the All-Seasons Center. Cultural events are sponsored regularly by the local Recreation and Arts Council and by the Sioux County Arts Council.
*Population was updated for purposes of this entry. 2012
The Sioux Center Public Library Board of Trustees has selected the following priorities for collection development:
- Popular Materials Center
- Reference Library
- Children's Services
- Formal Education Support Center
- Independent Learning Center
As part of this objective the Library Board of Trustees recognizes the value of the Library Bill of Rights, The Freedom to Read Statement, and the Freedom to View Statement as adopted by the American Library Association.
Freedom to Read Statement and Freedom to View Statement See Appendix 1 & 2.
Library Bill of Rights
The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide their services.
- Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.
- Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
- Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.
- Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgement of free expression and free access to ideas.
- A person's right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views.
- Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.
Adopted June 18, 1948. Amended February 2, 1962, June 27, 1967, and January 23, 1980 by ALA council.
B. Professional Responsibilities:
- The library is by nature in a position of unique responsibility to the community. Professional knowledge, skills, and methods are a requirement. The library director is a member of the Iowa Library Association and the Iowa Small Library Association.
- The Sioux Center Public Library is a member of the Sioux County Library Association and a part of the Regional Library Service Areas, which is under the jurisdiction of the State Library of Iowa.
C: Materials Selection:
- Books and/or library material selection is and shall be vested in the library director and in members of the staff selected by the director on the basis of their qualifications, education, and training.
- The final selection of books and/or other library material rests with the library director and shall be made on the basis of their value to meet the missions and goals of the library. The library will accept suggestions from patrons and staff as to current material that may be of interest to the community. If the library is unable to obtain a new book that has been requested (in writing) by a patron over interlibrary loan, it will be evaluated and if it would fit the selection criteria; it will be purchased and added to the collection.
- The Library Board of Trustees believes that censorship is purely an individual matter and declares that while anyone is free to reject for himself/herself materials which they do not approve of, staff and board cannot exercise this right to censorship to restrict the freedom of the other person to read the material.
Any patron who wishes to object to specific books or other library materials are encouraged to fill out a Reconsideration Form available at the front desk. The form is referred to the Director and Library Board of Trustees to examine the complaint and the library material involved. The Director and/or the Library Board will then communicate their findings to the individual.
The library collection will be evaluated on an annual basis. Criteria for withdrawal of materials includes: condition of the material, currency of information, usefulness in the collection, and circulation statistics. Responsibility for the discarding of material rests with the library director and such staff as he/she may designate to assist with the evaluation process.
D. Digital Collection
The purpose of the library's collection is to serve the educational, informational, and recreational needs of the citizens through electronic resources. Electronic resources include those materials that require computer access whether through a personal computer or a handheld mobile device. The library strives to provide a variety of digital materials which meet the informational, educational or recreational needs of the community.
Ebooks and Downloadable Audiobooks
The Library Director, with input from staff, will be responsible for making any eBook purchases. Titles will be selected individually with priority given to eBooks that come in multiple download formats, ie: Kindle, Nook, etc. eBooks must enhance and supplement the current library collection.
EBooks and audiobooks may be purchased if they support local school curriculum, meet a specific need or are requested by patrons. EBooks and audiobooks will not be used to replace materials, but rather as a means of enhancing the overall collection.
Currently, the library receives most of its ebooks from Overdrive and is part of the WILBOR consortium. We also purchase from 3M for ebooks. Ebook purchases must meet these general guidelines:
- Guaranteed ownership of the title
- Relevance of materials to our community
- Low or no cost annual hosting fees
- Availability of usage statistics
- Availability of use on multiple platforms – Nook, Kindle, iPad, etc.
- Provide eboooks and audiobooks for readers of all ages
Currently, Wilbor/Overdrive eBooks will be available only to Sioux Center patrons and will not be available for Inter Library Loan or Open Access patrons. Authentication for use will be through a patron's library card number.
Statistical Reporting:
Statistical data is important both for funding and in determining the need for specific electronic materials. Any electronic material purchased should be done so with the considerations of vendor support and statistical information to determine usage.
The library subscribes to several general and multi-subject databases. Database subscriptions account for a growing portion of the library budget, so new database purchases should be evaluated carefully. Existing database subscriptions will be reviewed annually for retention based on usage statistics and the value to the collection as a whole. It is important that a database provide quality access for our patrons and provide more timely information than that of any other material in our materials collection.
Guidelines for selecting new databases
- Usage statistics are readily available.
- Database meet user needs.
- Database enhances the local collection.
- Database provides added value over the print equivalent or other formats.
- Quality support is available.
- Search and retrieval is user friendly and compatible across different platforms.
E. Gifts for the Collection:
F. Other Collections/Formats:
The Sioux Center Public Library also collects art prints, books on CD, large print books, magazines, music CD's, puppets, science and teacher kits, an archival collection and DVDs.
G. AV Equipment:
The Sioux Center Public Library provides patrons with projectors and eReaders for check out. Screens, DVD/VHS players, projectors, Smart TV, Xbox, Wii, Playstation and a typewriter are available for use in the library.
H. Cataloging:
Sioux Center Public Library uses Book Systems, Atrium cataloging software. All cataloging of materials is done at the library. Some original cataloging is done. Patrons can find every item the library owns on the Public Catalog Stations.
I. Internet/Computers:

First porn movie filmed with Google Glass has been made [NSFW]
Posted By Enrique Manalang On July 27, 2013 @ 4:19 AM In General Tech | 8 Comments
When adult company Mikandi released its porn app for Google Glass [2] last month, it was pulled hours after being released. Now they're back with something else: the first Google Glass porn.
The porno stars James Deen and Andy San Dimas, both wearing Google Glass. Having both uh, participants wearing a camera on their head results in exactly what adult film companies were most likely imagining when Google Glass was announced — two alternating points of view, being filmed at exactly the same time. It's also probably more "immersive" or something
The trailer for the film (which is obviously very NSFW) shows Deen and San Dimas in a reception affair but also parodies Glass by showing silly made-up features like X-ray vision and body scanning, but also some real ones like Google searches. To protect Ashraf's virgin eyes, we won't show the trailer here on dotTech but you can view the trailer on Youtube by clicking here [3].
I have to say, this sort of thing probably isn't going away anytime soon. And there will probably be more when Glass is sold to the public sometime next year [4].

Yikes, it looks like my beloved Kinsey Sicks have themselves some controversy, as the Conservative Students for a Better Tomorrow at Fuhrman University in South Carolina have launched a campaign to prevent the group from coming on campus, as well as questioning their $10,000 fee coming from the general fund. They even have an online petition (don't sign!) and everything.
There's also a campus news report on it (although one of the people interviewed seems to think two of the Kinseys are straight, which is entirely untrue, heh):
It's kind of funny that the controversy kind of makes the point even better than their show would have on its own. So, the dialogue has reached even more people in the community. Fabulous. You go, girls!
oooooh. when are they coming, if they can?
(I go to school in the town furman is in)
its all-around a rather lame school, so im not suprised.
a bunch of rich, snobby, southern lawer's kids for the most part.
(I hope i dont offend anyone who might go there! its just that in my experience it seems as though thats the crowd it draws.)
the only thing i like about furman is that on all their hats and things it just has a large
printed on it.
The student group also said they are coming, so toolate to cancel.
I think March 12, and it's free, just not sure if you have to be a student or what the criteria is.

Well isn't Nathan Guinn a charismatic, sex-boat. Poor child is no doubt roundly ignored in pretty much every aspect of non-stupid, student politics related life, which is the only justification for going into stupid, student politics to begin with. Strangely he can't even seem to muster up indignent outrage properly- going through the motions of moral horror is even worse than being geniunely upset by something so harmless.
It's heartbreaking to see children grow up conservative before their time.

Flip your lid with Flip Words 2
Challenge your brain with this fun word puzzle.
Flip Words 2 is an addictive word puzzle that's part seek-and-find, part Wheel of Fortune, and all fun. If you like the challenge of creating words out of random letters and solving riddles, you'll find Flip Words 2 to be totally addictive.
Like all games from Free Ride Games, you will first have to download the game manager, which will then download Flip Words 2. It will also download a variety of other games without your permission unless you stop it. There's plenty of advertising, too; there's a video ad you have to sit through before you can play, and the game was also periodically interrupted by videos that we had to sit through before our game could resume. Banner ads ran across the top and down the right side of the game, too. But if you're willing to put up with all that, you'll be rewarded with a word puzzle that's loads of fun. Flip Words 2 displays a random assortment of letters in a seven-by-seven grid. Above the grid, there's a Wheel of Fortune-style phrase with blanks for each letter. When you connect letters in the grid to form a word, you earn points, and the first letter of the word, if present anywhere in the phrase, is revealed. It's much easier to play than it is to explain, and built-in hints make sure you take advantage of freebies and bonuses. The game has three modes, Classic, Strategy, and Party, to keep things interesting; Party lets you play with other people online. Overall, we loved Flip Words 2, and we recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good word puzzle.
Flip Words 2 installs and uninstalls without issues.

Stocks drift lower...Late mortgage payments improveNEW YORK (AP) — Stocks headed lower Monday after moving higher last week. The Dow fell 22 points to close at 13,971, the S&P 500 slipped one point to 1,517 and the Nasdaq composite dropped two points to 3,192. Seven of the 10 industry groups within the S&P 500 dropped. Futures trading suggests losses at this morning's opening. BANGKOK (AP) — Tokyo's Nikkei 225 led Asian stocks higher today as the yen weakened and investors shrugged off a nuclear test by North Korea. European stocks dropped in early trading. Benchmark crude oil fell below $97 per barrel. The dollar gained against the euro and the yen. WASHINGTON (AP) — Looking at what's ahead on the economic calendar today, the Labor Department releases the job openings and labor turnover survey for December. And the Treasury releases the federal budget for January. Coca-Cola and Goodyear Tire and Rubber are among the major companies scheduled to report quarterly results. LOS ANGELES (AP) — A credit reporting agency says homeowners who took on mortgages well after the housing bubble burst are doing a better job in keeping up with payments. TransUnion says the trend has helped push the national rate of late payments on home loans to the lowest level in four years. The percentage of mortgage holders at least two months behind on their payments fell in the fourth quarter to 5.19 percent from 6.01 percent. LONDON (AP) — Barclays PLC has announced plans to cut at least 3,700 jobs in a major restructuring that follows a scandal-hit year for the U.K. bank. The bank says it will cut at least 1,800 positions in the Corporate and Investment Bank unit and 1,900 retail and business banking positions outside the U.K. The bank also promised a change to culture after revelations that it had fixed key interbank interest rates and mis-sold various products, including loan protection insurance.

TMZ's Harvey Levin Talks Oscar Pistorius Case
TMZ's Harvey Levin phoned in to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" to give us the latest on double amputee Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, who is currently in custody after formally being charged with one count of murder after allegedly shooting and killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
When asked if he thinks Oscar's defense in that he thought it was an intruder will hold up, Harvey shared: "Well you know you never know, it all comes down to witnesses and what the jury hears and anybody who tells you that he's going to get convicted or he's not going to get convicted is a fool. There is no way of knowing."
SEMI FINALS: What's The Best Song of the 90′s?
Harvey furthered, by raising the question: "But I will say this, the thing that doesn't make sense about his story, it's almost like playing Family Feud, that when the bathroom door is locked and you believe someone is in the bathroom and you're sleeping with somebody what's the first thing you'd expect?"
Answering his own question, Harvey continued: "When people get out of bed in the middle of the night you typically go to the bathroom and if he knows someone is in the bathroom you look over to see if that person is in the bathroom but his story doesnt have anything to do with that. His story is he must have heard something in the bathroom, he panicked, didn't have his legs on and then shot out of fear and then turned and looked and realized his girlfriend wasn't in bed. Seems to be the reverse way most people would do it and doesn't make a lot of sense."

Last month I had the opportunity to pull together all of the desserts for my very dear friend's wedding. It was held in the mountains east of San Diego, a far difference landscape from here in Massachusetts. She and I met in college and studied ceramics together. She is also a huge inspiration to my growing interest in gardening and cooking, though she claims she doesn't like to cook. It's to her that I salvage the good part of a good veggie or fruit going bad. I aslo have to thank her for holding my hand in canning journeys.
She did not want the typical layered cake, but rather an array of items to choose from. My goal was to stick with seasonal and use ingredients from her garden. Her and her husband started Wilde Oaks Gardens in Jamul, CA where they offered there first rounds of a C.S.A. share.
The rest of the food offered at the wedding reception was also picked from their garden and other local sources.
There was also roasted chicken from her flock and a pit fired pig that was raised by their neighbors.
A woman manning the pit fire, for approx 12 hrs in 90 degree weather! |
The whole weekend was chaos but came together perfectly. I was a true test of effort from friends and family and we pulled it off, even when sleep was absent.
Here is a sample of what I made and a start to the recipes. Check back soon for more...there was a lot!
For the dessert Menu:
Native and Colorado Peach Tarts with a Pistachio Frangipane
Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Coco Nibs and a Coconut Lime Frosting(vegan and gluten free)
Lemon Bars with Rosemary (gluten free)
Mexican Wedding Cakes
Fresh Fig Tart with Fresh Locally Made Goat Cheese and Honey
Chocolate Walnut Torte (dairy free)
Mini Beet Cakes with an Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
Fig and Walnut Biscotti
Sesame Orange and Almond Biscotti
Olive Oil Zucchini Cake with a Lemon Crunch Glaze
Today I want to share with you the Peach tart recipe:
Native Peach Tart with Pistachio Frangipane (serves 8)
For this tart I used a Pate Sucree crust. Because it has egg in the mix, after baked, it is sturdier. It holds it shape very well and along with whatever you choose to fill it with. I would't recommend this type for say an apple pie. It's more like a sugar cookie.
Pate Sucree (makes 2 crust)
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup ice water
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/8 tsp Salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Lightly beat yolks and water in a small bowl until combined.
Pulse flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 20 seconds. With the machine running, add yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream. Process until mixture just begins to hold together (no longer than 30 seconds).
Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to overnight.
Pistachio Frangipane (enough for two tarts)
1/2 cup raw pistachios finely ground
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
A coffee grinder dedicated to grinding seeds/nuts/spices is a good idea. Make sure to not grind for too long because the machine will produce heat and turn your nuts into butter.
Mix all of the ingredients together to form a paste. This will keep for up to one week in the refrigerator.
Peach Tart
1 par-baked tart crust
1/2 of the pistachio frangipane paste
3 medium peaches pitted and sliced to about 12 pieces from each peach
1/2 cup apricot jam for glaze
2 tablespoons lightly chopped pistachios for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out one of the pie crust to about 12 inches in diameter, using as little flour as possible. To move into tart pan, fold in half, then fold in half again for easy transition. Layout tart crust out and press gently into the corners of the pan. Press the sides into the grooves then run a knife around the top of the edge to make a clean cut. Bake the tart shell for about 10-15 minutes, until it starts to turn golden brown. Watch it and when it starts to bubble, prick them with a fork to let the air out. You can also do the bean, wax paper, and foil method, but I found the first way to be quite easy and less of a fuss. Remove from oven and let cool.
Spread the frangipane over the tart to be about 1/4 inch thick. Lay the peach slices out in a circle, sightly overlapping, starting on the outside, until you fill the shell. There should be two circles.
Bake the tart for about 20-30 minutes, until the frangipane sets and the tart is bubbling a little. Remove from oven. To make the apricot glaze, heat about 1/2 cup of the jam and thin it out with a tablespoon of water or Grand Marnier. Once cooled a little, run it through a sieve to remove any lumps. Brush on the fruit and shell to coat. This helps keep the fruit from drying out and giving a shinier look.
note this tart is missing the glaze! |
Garnish the tart with mint if you have it and crushed pistachios.

New England College of Optometry (NECO) and New England Eye (NEE) are proud partners with the New England Eye Low Vision Clinic at the Perkins School for the Blind. This two-decade long partnership continues to utilize a multi-disciplinary approach to clinical and educational services for infants, children and adults with a variety of visual, physical and cognitive impairments. Perkins' Low Vision Clinic is unique in New England and is an internationally recognized model of low vision care services. NECO/NEE collaborate with Perkins by providing the clinic's doctors, optometry residents and interns.
Clinic Coordinator Darick Wright, named 2010 Outreach Provider of the Year by the Council of Schools for the Blind, works closely with Dr. Barry Kran, the clinic's Optometric Director and Chief of the Individuals with Disabilities Service for New England Eye and with Dr. Luisa Mayer, Ph.D., an internationally known specialist in visual field/functional vision testing.
The Clinic takes a holistic approach to patient care. Eye exams that might normally last only 20 minutes on average take over an hour to allow for longer response times and breaks. Wright explains, "It's a team of people working together to determine how we can best help this person to function in the classroom, at home or at work." Each patient's vision is unique and by involving teachers, caregivers, medical specialists and family members, the Low Vision Clinic is able to tailor recommendations for treatment and low vision products to an individual's needs.
"I couldn't be more proud of the hard work and contributions that each member of our team makes to the clinic and the services we provide to our patients and families. We are so very fortunate to have such a dedicated and knowledgeable team!" says Wright.
The latest edition of the Perkins' e-newsletter is available and features the Low Vision Clinic and one of the children who is a regular patient from the community.

As a part of our mission of addressing visual health through community-based involvement, this fall New England Eye will begin operating a mobile vision clinic, New England Eye On-Sight. Funded by the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind (MCB), the Carl and Ruth Shapiro Family Foundation and the Ludke Foundation, this program is designed to support two identified populations in optometric need in Massachusetts - visually impaired older adults and young children.
With a fully equipped wheelchair accessible, 38ft optometry van and specialist pediatric or low vision licensed optometrists onboard, New England Eye On-Sight can travel to any location in Massachusetts. Patients have the opportunity to receive a comprehensive eye exam and/or a low vision evaluation, under their health insurance. Additional assistance for special vision needs will be available including: eyeglasses prescription, eyeglasses ordering and delivery, surgical referrals, low vision devices, access to occupational therapist services, and if necessary, registering individuals with the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind.
By partnering with community schools and preschools, senior groups, housing authorities, Councils on Aging and assisted living organizations, New England Eye On-Sight mobile clinic aims improve the visual function of MA children and older adults through prevention, education, access, environmental modification, on-site vision care and referral to appropriate resources.
Providing on-site vision assessment, increasing awareness of vision conditions, and advice on new technologies and advancements that increase independent living, are ways for us to help the public understand the role vision plays in learning and cognition, and also the options now available to visually impaired older adults to enhance their quality of life.
New England Eye On-Sight specialty eye doctors can visit your community, school, senior facility or organization!
