January Librarian's Lines
January 2015
Librarian's Lines
Dr. Linda LeBert-Corbello
The New Year is off to a great beginning!
The students in Jefferson Davis Parish in cooperation with school librarians participated in the Louisiana Young Reader's Choice Award. The schools that participated included: Jennings Elementary, Elton, Lake Arthur Elementary, Hathaway, Welsh Roanoke, and Jennings Jr. and Sr. high school. Three hundred and fourteen students read and selected the following books as their favorite:
- Grades 3-5: The Ghost Tree
- Grades 6-8: The False Prince
- Grades 9-12: The Selection
These choices were submitted to the State Library. We are all eagerly waiting to see the outcome of the voting statewide. Many thanks abound for the librarians who encourage the year-long process of reading books on the state's selected list and the personnel at the Registrar of Voters, Lorraine Dees, Joann Blair and Holly Miller for determining a schedule for voting and for setting up voting machines for the students. The process of reading and then voting allows students to participate in something that instills the appreciation of reading and allows for the democratic process to work effectively.
While visiting one school I asked about students' favorite title. I was deeply touched when a number of students named Each Kindness written by Jacqueline Woodson and The Forgiveness Garden written by Lauren Thompson as their favorites. Both books deal with life skills that should be instilled in all persons. It seems that as parents, educators and society that in our world today much too much emphasis is placed on negative attributes. I would just once like to watch the news (which I try to avoid) and hear thirty minutes of the many good and gracious acts happening throughout the world. I realize it is important to know what is occurring in the world, I just want to hear more good than bad. Perhaps, I am just being too much like a 'Pollyanna.' Yet, it does say something profound of our students when they select a book with such strong themes of goodness. When the final list is published from the State of Louisiana, I will be sure to announce the winners.

Please be reminded that we want all people in Jefferson Davis Parish to own a library card. The card is FREE and can be obtained at your local library. Children should be encouraged by parents to have a library card and enjoy the wealth of materials available at all libraries.
Pronunciator is a database provided by the state library that can be accessed on our website. You can reach the site by clicking on Louisiana Database Collection. Next, you must scroll down the right hand side of the page listed as Statewide Databases. A patron can learn one of eighty language programs offered. I have experimented with the Spanish language program. I started with the lowest level where I began by learning colors in Spanish. The program is for active learning, is simple to use and can amazingly teach the learner effectively. Information on this program is being provided for all schools in the parish.
We had a fabulous year in 2014 while completing renovations on the Headquarters branch, painting both Elton and Lake Arthur libraries (inside and outside), adding to our collections and providing programs for all ages. We are challenged in 2015 to work even more diligently to provide the materials you want and need. Check the collections in your libraries and check into the e-book collection (Overdrive) and the e-magazine collection (Zinio)! If there are titles and/or subjects you need contact Dr. Linda LeBert-Corbello at 824-1210. Happy Reading in 2015!

December Librarian's Lines by Dr. Linda LeBert-Corbello
December 2014
Librarian's Lines
What a year this has been!! Jefferson Davis Parish Library progressed through the year as usual with the ordering of books, the work with patrons in securing desired materials, and in providing a variety of educational as well as fun classes. Our biggest challenge this year was the five month process of moving all books and furnishings to storage facilities and then patiently witnessing the renovation of the first floor of the Jennings Headquarters library location. The process was an arduous one as we watched the meticulous craftsmanship of everyone who contributed to the final design. The Grand Re-Opening was attended by over one hundred and twenty persons. The library is now in full 'swing' once again attending to the needs of the patrons of our parish. Please come by and see the changes. I call the change 'simple elegance.'
I want to encourage all who have not yet picked up your copy of our annual recipe book 'Delicious Christmas' to please go by your local library and do so. The library staff and the Board of Trustees contributed a wide variety of recipes to share with you and your family during this holiday season.
I also want to encourage all to watch our digital sign at the Headquarters building. We will utilize this sign to inform the patrons of upcoming programs, information about our e-Resources and other general library news.
ALL of our branch libraries will be offering FYI classes in 2015. Jennings Headquarters Branch will be offering evening classes that were formerly named FYI. The new name for Jennings classes will be R & R (Rest & Relaxation).We are especially excited that the classes we are offering are pertinent to the needs and desires of the community we serve.
Currently, the Mobile Branch Staff Kathy LeJeune and Kay Hebert are providing monthly classes to Bayou Villa. I have attended some of these sessions and find the residents who attend delightful. They enjoy a lesson, refreshments and fellowship. This is just one example of the continued efforts all library personnel offer to enrich the lives of community.
Parents, please check with your children regarding their school's involvement in the Young Reader's Choice Program. The students from grades 3 to high school are offered a list of books to read in order to be able to vote for their favorite book. This project is a statewide project that encourages both literacy and the enjoyment of reading. Lorraine Dees and her most efficient staff will travel the parish in January with their portable voting machines. Thus, we teach the democratic process as well as accomplish literacy goals. All libraries have designated a location for the 2015 books that are on the Young Reader's Choice list. I have read some of the books and have found them to be most enjoyable. Do come by our libraries to see the titles for your children from grades 3 to high schools. Participating schools include:
Lake Arthur Elementary
Jennings Elementary
Hathaway High School
Roanoke Junior High
Jennings Jr/High School
Elton School
Before beginning our work on budget items and goals for 2015, we were reminded of the end of 2006 at our library. We had just completed two new libraries in Elton and Jennings. The buildings and the furnishings were all brand new. A great deal of money was spent and, incidentally, was spent well.
The Board of Trustees in their wonderful wisdom then guided us to take a few years to focus on library collections while putting aside reserve funding for renovations for the McBurney Memorial Library. By 2010 that library was completely renovated to offer a modern, efficient and up-to-date library.
As we look to 2015, the Board of Trustees has provided leadership in requiring that we step back and determine how to adequately continue to provide the best services to the parish. Continual acquisition of new materials to include books, magazine, newspapers and e-Resources to all the patrons is the number one priority. Originally there was a tentative plan to renovate the second floor of the Headquarters branch in 2015. That renovation has been put on hold. A systematic focus on providing services for patrons while reserving funds to enhance any future renovations or dealing with unforeseen catastrophic events is another priority for the upcoming year. This is a visionary approach to the future growth of Jefferson Davis Parish Library. Other measures have been taken to ensure responsible fiscal management. I commend the Board's Finance Committee for their planning and efforts to insure wise stewardship of tax payers' money.
We hope that all of you can readily see the focus the Board of Trustees has placed on the work they do in collaborating with me and with our most excellent staff. We wish all of you a happy season filled with gratitude for America and for the many freedoms we enjoy, especially the ability to read any material we choose to read. Not all in this world have had the privilege of this simple enjoyment in the past…and some not in the present.
Happy New Year.

February Librarian's Lines by Dr. Linda LeBert-Corbello
February Librarian's Lines include the presentation given on the occasion of the 40th year that the McBurney Memorial Library building has served the public. It is the third and final home of library services in Welsh, Louisiana. Dr. Linda LeBert-Corbello lived in Welsh and was able to utilize each library building….she shares her memories of Welsh and the thrill of having a library.
Welsh Public Library
When a parish wide tax failed in Welsh for a free public library in 1927, citizens united with Miss Essae M. Cullver, Executive Secretary of the Louisiana Library Commission ,and Hon. J.O. Modisette, President of the Louisiana Library Commission and a Jennings lawyer. These two people met with the Board of Trustees for the Town of Welsh in the Masonic Hall in July 1929. A decision was made that if Welsh could provide a fund that would maintain a library, the Louisiana Library Commission would send 500 loaned volumes to serve as Welsh's first public and free library. According to historical records, the Town Board agreed to a one mill reduction on other taxes in order not to raise anyone's taxes. The ordinance adopted on September 4, 1929 read:
"A Proposition to levy and assess and collect annually a one mill tax on all of the assessed and assessable property of the Town of Welsh, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, for a period of five years, beginning with the year 1929 and ending with the year 1933, for the purpose of supporting, operating, and maintaining a municipal, free public library in the Town of Welsh, Louisiana, title to which shall vest in the public."
These efforts resulted in a fund of $900 a year to pay the librarian and buy new books and magazines. The Library Board was established and consisted of:
- Mrs. A. R. McBurney, President
- Dr. B.J. LaCour, Vice-President
- Mrs. R. R. Arceneaux, Secretary
- Mrs. W.E. Faught, Treasurer
- S.E. Carroll
- Mrs. Laura Mae Kimball, Librarian.
- Ex-officio members included: John W. Armstrong, Mayor of Welsh, Mr. P.E. Wilson, Principal of Welsh High School and Miss Mary Yantis, Chairman of the Book Selection Committee.
The library was opened on February 25, 1930. The State Library Commission loaned 500 volumes to Welsh City Hall to serve as Welsh's first public and free library. During the first year the following statistics were kept:
- 3462 adult books checked out.
- 3342 children's books were checked out.
As a personal note, I was born in 1951 and lived in Welsh. I remember the court house square. City Hall was a beautiful massive building set in the middle of the location of the present police & fire station. I remember walking to the library with my Mom and siblings and noting the signs posted on the grass surrounding the library: KEEP OFF GRASS! I was amazed because even in the heat of summer the City Hall grass was always green. I also vividly remember walking into the City Hall to the back of the building where the books were kept. I remember the smell of that room like it was yesterday. Wonderful smell of books…lots of books. We were each allowed to check out only two books. Being one of seven siblings gave us an edge in that we would often share the books with each other after reading our own. I would have been 8 years old when the library was then moved to the Home Economics Building in June 1959. Documents state that Miss Essae M. Culver, State Librarians and Louisiana dignitaries attended the October Open House.
The new library became my new favorite. It seemed like a real house of books. We still walked to the library (my Mother never drove a car). Sometimes, my older sisters would be the ones to walk us to the library on those very hot summer days. I can still feel the hot blacktop road against my feet and the hot stones & rails along the railroad tracks. The new building must have meant more books because I can remember thinking…how will I ever read all of these books? I remember spending one summer reading every biography in a series that were blue-green with red lettering for the titles. How I loved reading of Florence Nightingale, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and so many others.
Another pleasant memory of our library visits included visiting the Busy Bee Café and getting an ice cream cone on the way home. I felt like a special little girl sitting on a red bar stood waiting my turn. Ice cream cones were only for special times, not every time we went to the library….boy were they not the best I ever had? I still smell the scent of the Busy Bee Café and I am sure my fellow Welsh Citizens remember it also. It was like Mom's best cooking and Christmas day cooking all wrapped together in a neat package.
In 1968 the Welsh Library became a part of the Parish Library System. Mrs. A.R. McBurney was one of the first members of the Library Board.
Mayor Jimmy Martin, who was also representative-elect of Jeff Davis Parish, appeared before the Police Jury and stated that the Welsh Town Council would donate the site for the library building if the Police Jury would take over paving payments that would decrease each year and be completely paid within ten years. This was accepted by the Police Jury. The current building was built at a cost of $80,000. It was financed by 60% of federal monies secured by the Jeff Davis Parish Police Jury and the remaining 40% donated by Mrs. A. R. McBurney as a memorial to her deceased husband A.R. McBurney and her deceased son Dr. William McBurney. The building was built on the corner section of the property with the plans for a tie in with the ultimate construction of a Welsh Civic Center. The building was renovated in 2010 to re-purpose the building for technology changes, appropriate functionality of the building for all ages and all events and general updating for a more modern décor.
This library has a total 14,256 holdings that include books, books on cassette, books on CDs, DVDs, e-books, music CDs, paperbacks, video games, laptop computers for check out and so much more. Databases on our website allow for incredible research possibilities. Last year a total of 11, 527 items were checked out. Denice Sonnier is an incredible manager providing so many new ideas for sharing with patrons. Patrick Guillory is a creative Children's facilitator and assistant manager. We thank them both for the excellent services they provide for the people of Jefferson Davis Parish.
As I researched the information on the progress of your library system I have to tell you how very honored I was when I read that Mrs. Culver and Mr. Modisette aided our citizens in Welsh in their efforts to establish the first public library in Welsh. Why? Both of these prominent people who are now deceased have awards in their name that are presented by the Louisiana Library Association.
Jefferson Davis Parish Library received the Modisette Award in 2008 for the most improved library system in the state over a two year period. It was a grand evening in Shreveport when I stood at the podium accepting that award on behalf of all the work accomplished in our library system.
Today reminds me that our work makes a difference in the lives of our patrons. It was so kind and so very wise to take time to celebrate such victory for Welsh and its library. Thank you so very much.
August's Librarian Lines
Librarian's Lines Dr. Linda LeBert-Corbello August 2012
"Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark… in any library in the world I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed." (Germaine Greer)
What a profound statement! I believe that my employees and I share this sentiment when it comes to our workplace. Not only do we provide reservoirs of strength, grace and wit as mentioned above, but we continue to build our repositories of books, materials and services for the patrons of Jefferson Davis Parish.
In recent years, I have enlisted the assistance of all library personnel in obtaining new materials for our collection. I firmly believe that the individual branch managers know their patrons within their local communities. This has greatly increased the progress in the book collections at all library branches including our Mobile Branch.
While assisting with processing of books, I just was so pleased at the choices that each branch manager selected. I could not possibly detail the many hundreds of books added to the collection this summer. However, I thought that I could highlight a few titles that would be of interest at this time of year. With the approach of a new school year, adults and children alike embark on the journey of returning to school or universities to increase their knowledge base. Here are a few titles to maybe tempt you to step inside our doors. We would love to be at your service. These are just a taste …so many other delicious titles await you!
For the student (adult or child):
Writing the AP English Essay
SAT Subject Test Literature (practice tests)
5 TEAS Practice Tests (Nursing)
Multiplication & Division
ACT DeMystified
Accounting DeMystified
For the Job Seeker:
Resumes for Dummies
Computer for Seniors
Managing and Troubleshooting Networks
Letterhead & Logo Design 11
The Big Book of Jobs
For the Hunter:
Standard catalog of Handguns
Shotgunning for Deer
For those who have time for fun:
Busy Girl's Guide to Cake Decorating
Digital Painting Tricks and Techniques
Complete Colored Pencil Book
Scrapbook Workshop
Hot Rod Wiring
Creative Paint Workshop for Mixed-Media Artists
All of our titles are available to all patrons. If you come to Jennings and the book is housed at another library, know that we can have that book to you as soon as possible. This is true at all library branches. All anyone has to do is request a title from the librarian. We aim to please. Come visit us and allow yourself to be still and absorbed in our collection. We are having such fun, are you?

Fortune favors the brave--especially those who are willing to both post a profile on Match and risk responding to one. Believing that a faint heart never won a fair lady, I am willing to leave my comfort zone to find fortune whether it be in the form of friendship or more. I am not seeking anything too serious at the moment, but I welcome possibilities.

These towels will make you feel like you are being pampered at a 5 star hotel. The best towel set I have found on O and I have been trying quite a few. Twice the price of the others, but it is worth it! This is truly a luxurious and thick towel.
Too many soft towels just rub the water around but don't absorb it. These are soft and very absorbent. Really nice towels, and even better after a few washings.
I have now purchased three different towel sets from Overstock. I'm so pleased with all three sets. The thickness of this towel is VERY nice and soft. These towels are so much less in cost than towels I have purchased in department stores. The size is great on all pieces....not skimpy. Color was exactly as shown. VERY PLEASED. Will see how they hold up after a lot of washing!! I'm confident they will be great!!
For the price I paid I expected perfection, Not! These towels have been washed over and over, still cannot be used, because of the never ending lint. I have ruined other sets , because I washed them together with these brand new Turkish towels, now they are ruined too. What a waste of money!!!! Sure I could return, but that would mean more time and money, no thanks!
Wow! I bought these for the guest towels, company is coming and my husband uses a bath sheet. Way too big and heavy for the parents :). I read the reviews and washed several times. Yes, there was fluff but it diminished with each wash. They're cotton. I also read the reviews that said they get softer with washing so I have been using them for myself until the company arrives! Only problem is, now I want some for myself! These are the thickest, most luxurious towel I have ever used. Previously, I liked Egyptian cotton, JC Penney, etc. No more, these are TOP NOTCH, thick and sturdy, absorbent and, hopefully, will get softer with each washing. Remember, you should not use fabric softener with towels so the softening process is just use/time. The price is right, too.
Years ago, you could go into a discount home store and buy a designer towel and it was thick and plush and luxurious. All those towels are gone now. All there is available now in the stores are average quality towels. Luxury is gone. Enter these towels...thick, fast drying, non-shedding and well made. Not cheap in cost but there really is nothing else out there to rival these that I have come across. Highly recommend these towel sets. Wish I could get just the bath towels. Don't really need all the hand towels and washcloths.
Excellent for the guest room where you have no idea what creams etc they will use that can permanently alter color! Luxurious. Great deal.
I love these towels! They don't look like anything special when they arrive, but after washing they're very heavy & plush. Don't save them for guests, use them yourself - you're entitled to a little luxury!
Nice quality, thick cotton with fluffy finish.
a very good towel, very soft and absorbent. It did shed more than I expected the first time I washed it.

Front row, from left: Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Anthony M. Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Back row, from left: Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito Jr. and Elena Kagan.Hide Caption 1 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosJohn G. Roberts – In 2005, Chief Justice John G. Roberts was nominated by President George W. Bush to succeed Justice Sandra Day O'Connor as an associate justice. After Chief Justice William Rehnquist died, however, Bush named Roberts to the chief justice post. The court has moved to the right during his tenure, although Roberts supplied the key vote to uphold President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.Hide Caption 2 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosAntonin Scalia – Justice Antonin Scalia was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 to fill the seat vacated by Justice William Rehnquist when he was elevated to chief justice. A constitutional originalist -- and a colorful orator -- Scalia is a member of the court's conservative wing. He is currently the court's longest-serving justice.Hide Caption 3 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosAnthony M. Kennedy – Justice Anthony M. Kennedy was appointed to the court by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. He is a conservative justice but has provided crucial swing votes in many cases, writing the majority opinion, for example, in Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down that state's sodomy law. Hide Caption 4 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosClarence Thomas – Justice Clarence Thomas is the second African-American to serve on the court, succeeding Justice Thurgood Marshall when he was appointed by President George H. W. Bush in 1991. He is a conservative, a strict constructionist who supports states' rights.Hide Caption 5 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosRuth Bader Ginsburg – Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, she is a strong voice in the court's liberal minority.Hide Caption 6 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosStephen G. Breyer – Justice Stephen G. Breyer was appointed to the court in 1994 by President Bill Clinton. He is considered a member of the court's liberal minority.Hide Caption 7 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosSamuel A. Alito Jr. – Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006 and is known as one of the most conservative justices to serve on the court in modern times.Hide Caption 8 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosSonia Sotomayor – Justice Sonia Sotomayor is the court's first Hispanic and third female justice. She was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009 and is regarded as a resolutely liberal member of the court.Hide Caption 9 of 10Today's Supreme Court 10 photosElena Kagan – Justice Elena Kagan is the fourth female justice and a member of the court's liberal wing. She was appointed in 2010, at the age of 50, by President Barack Obama and is the court's youngest member.Hide Caption 10 of 10Story highlightsSherlock Holmes was fictional, but he lives on in novels and short storiesThe estate of the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is fighting a copyright caseA California writer wants to publish a new series of Holmes storiesThe Conan Doyle estate wants the U.S. Supreme Court to solve the caseStep lively Watson, there's a mystery afoot at the Supreme Court -- and the estate of Sherlock Holmes' creator says only the nine justices can ultimately solve the Case of the Contested Copyright. The estate of the late British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has asked the high court to block a California writer from moving ahead with plans to publish a new series of stories featuring the celebrated fictional detective and his friend Dr. Watson. A federal appeals court in Chicago last month ruled in favor of California-based editor and lawyer Leslie Klinger, saying he did not have to pay royalty fees to the Conan Doyle estate, over his plans to publish a new volume of Holmes stories penned by contemporary authors.Just WatchedA copywrite case for Sherlock HolmesreplayMore Videos ...A copywrite case for Sherlock Holmes 04:02PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedClassic novels get erotic makeoversreplayMore Videos ...Classic novels get erotic makeovers 02:12PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedLohan sues over 'Grand Theft Auto V'replayMore Videos ...Lohan sues over 'Grand Theft Auto V' 03:20PLAY VIDEO The estate then asked the high court to delay enforcement of the appeals court ruling, at least temporarily, until its legal team could prepare a more detailed petition for the justices to hear their case. There was no indication when the court would rule. The nine-member bench is on a three-month recess, but is available to handle these time-sensitive matters. Conan Doyle created one of the most famous and enduring characters in fiction, with four novels and 56 short stories published from 1887 to 1927. The final 10 stories remain under copyright protection in the United States until 2022, while the rest are in the public domain. In their high court claim, the estate asserts Holmes and Watson "were not static but are dynamic literary characters who changed and developed throughout the Sherlock Holmes canon." Their lawyers say that means the adventures of the fictional friends from decades ago cannot be appropriated today, based on older Conan Doyle works that are in the public domain. "Many aspects of these characters' natures are not revealed until the final 10 stories, which are still under copyright protection" say the estate's lawyers. "The 10 stories are not set exclusively in the characters' old age but at various points throughout the characters' lives." The financial stakes remain lucrative. The estate says the Holmes character has been portrayed in more than 200 films, and that it has a financial and creative interest in ensuring the detective "is not despoiled in a way that would irreparably damage the value of the Sherlock Holmes copyright." Klinger had earlier paid a $5,000 licensing fee to the estate in 2011 for an initial work of re-imagined Holmes stories called "A Study in Sherlock." But he refused to pay a fee for a planned November sequel, "In the Company of Sherlock Holmes." Klinger's publisher, Pegasus Books, is supporting him in court. Klinger's website describes him as "one of the world's foremost authorities on Sherlock Holmes and Dracula."

"Clearly, the characters' names and most of their characteristics are not such 'protected elements.' Thus, to put it very loosely, Sherlock Holmes is 'free.'" The case is Conan Doyle Estate Ltd. v.

On track two off Booth-sponsored mixtape The Endemic, Kida introduced listeners to a phenomenon called The Change Up, in which the people you thought were your homies seem to forget who you are just as you begin showing signs of success. Today, the West Coast up-and-comer's back with a version of the track that has itself been Changed Up – but not necessarily for the worse. In addition to a softer, string-driven beat by Focus… (replacing Siege's pensive synths), this revamp boasts a brand new verse from Philly street veteran and recent Booth favorite Freeway, who commiserates with the headliner's complaints (and stacks a little paper) on the back end. The obvious question: is this tweaked version preferable to the original, or should Kida have left well enough alone? Whichever you consider superior, you can hear plenty more where this came from on The Endemic, available here for free streaming and download. Also, watch for Kida to step into the Booth with an exclusive freestyle when our series returns in the coming weeks!

Front Street Bar & Grill Restaurant Review: If you've been out under the hot Temecula sun during a long day of wine tasting and don't feel like a big meal, this bustling and convivial eatery in the heart of quaint Old Town is just the place. The kitchen offers well-executed comfort foods like half-pound burgers and meatloaf, plus Cajun-inspired dishes such as blackened catfish and jambalaya. Front Street Bar & Grill is owned by the local Baily Vineyard & Winery, which also operates the more formal Baily's right upstairs. Note that both levels feature the After Eleven club night on Fridays and Saturdays, with DJs setting up at 10 p.m., and a $5 cover after 11 p.m. |

We went leaf looking in Brown County, Indiana, driving up from Louisville and had lunch at the Abe Martin Lodge inside the massive Brown County State Park.

The rooms are very nice and clean. The restaurant has great food. Upstairs is a huge fireplace to relax by. Best time to go is in the fall. There is also a indoors waterpark with lazy river and a water slide. Nice trails close to the Lodge. Very romantic.
We had a wood burning fireplace with a connecting room for our children. Enjoyed the fireplace very much.
Had a great day antiquing in Southern Indiana. Stopped for dinner after visiting Nashville, IN at the Brown County State Park Abe Martin Lodge.

I came for an impromptu lunch on a Saturday. I had the salad bar with also included soup. It was the cleanest salad bar I've ever see and had an exceptional variety for a small place.

What a beast what do they use this for Peter
They used to use them around the wharves for carrying timber. Can drive over a pack of timber, pick it up and drive somewhere to deliver it. Smaller version of the big container straddles.
Will be there at Sandown if you want to see a demo. -
This machine seems to be based around an IH tractor, not sure what model but the engine is a BD264 with an updraft carburetor. Has 4 wheel steering, 4 wheel hydraulic brakes but drives on the rear wheels only.

People write memoirs for so many different reasons! Bibi Gaston, a well-known landscape architect, seems to have written this one to honor the memory of her grandmother, Rosamond Pinchot, and to leach the mystery and disgrace from Rosamond's suicide, which happened years before Bibi was born. But The Loveliest Woman in the World also turns out to be a kind of Dreiserian treatise on the corrosive uses of money and class in America and how self-destructive patterns of behavior are often handed down in families…Gaston does a remarkable job piecing together this dramatic family history—The Washington Post

The Last of the Unjust Plot
A place: Theresienstadt. A unique place of propaganda which Adolf Eichmann called the model ghetto, designed to mislead the world and Jewish people regarding its real nature, to be the last step before the gas chamber. A man: Benjamin Murmelstein, last president of the Theresienstadt Jewish Council, a fallen hero condemned to exile, who was forced to negotiate day after day from 1938 until the end of the war with Eichmann, to whose trial Murmelstein wasn't even called to testify. Even though he was without a doubt the one who knew the Nazi executioner best. More than twenty-five years after Shoah, Claude Lanzmann's new film reveals a little-known yet fundamental aspect of the Holocaust, and sheds light on the origins of the Final Solution like never before.- Avengers 2

Courtesy of Richard Branson via LinkedIn A young Richard Branson. Think back to when you were 22 years old. You were just graduating from college, entering the "real world," and embarking on your professional journey.
Maybe you wish you could rewrite your past. Or perhaps you're content with the decisions you made at that time in your life. Either way, there are probably a few things you wish you knew then that you know now.
That's exactly what LinkedIn asked its network of top minds across all fields to write about for its most recent Influencers editorial package, titled "If I Were 22."
Over 60 thought leaders shared original posts — along with pictures of themselves at 22 — filled with pearls of wisdom for new grads based on what they wish they had known at 22. Here's what 12 super-successful people had to say.

Simple plane wave implementation for photonic crystal calculations
Optics Express, Vol. 11, Issue 2, pp. 167-175 (2003)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (151 KB)
A simple implementation of plane wave method is presented for modeling photonic crystals with arbitrary shaped 'atoms'. The Fourier transform for a single 'atom' is first calculated either by analytical Fourier transform or numerical FFT, then the shift property is used to obtain the Fourier transform for any arbitrary supercell consisting of a finite number of 'atoms'. To ensure accurate results, generally, two iterating processes including the plane wave iteration and grid resolution iteration must converge. Analysis shows that using analytical Fourier transform when available can improve accuracy and avoid the grid resolution iteration. It converges to the accurate results quickly using a small number of plane waves. Coordinate conversion is used to treat non-orthogonal unit cell with non-regular 'atom' and then is treated by standard numerical FFT. MATLAB source code for the implementation requires about less than 150 statements, and is freely available at

Gareth McAuley believes new West Brom team-mate Nicolas Anelka is already proving a valuable addition to the squad.
The Frenchman signed a one-year deal at The Hawthorns on July 4, after spending the second half of last season at Serie A champions Juventus.
And McAuley claims the 34-year-old remains in good condition, and will prove to be a valuable asset for Steve Clarke's side.
"In fairness, he's a real athlete," the Northern Irishman said.
"He looks like he's cruising through. In training he's been sharp, his awareness is another level and he still has a turn of pace.
"He's been lively in training and he has that pace. He's only switched it on a couple of times when he needed to but, when he did, he was away."
The 33-year-old believes the former Manchester City and Liverpool striker's signing will boost the club ahead of the new season.
"It gives everyone a lift, especially all the young players, to see someone of his level, who is still as sharp and hungry," he continued.
"It's a great signing and maybe he can score us a few goals."

Do political voice-overs influence your voting decision?
Political voice overs have been making the news in Canada as of late due to the impending federal election. Typically, voice overs for political campaigns are chosen carefully with the objectives of instilling trust, camaraderie, and, over the course of the campaign, to successfully persuade the voter to concur with the values and mission of the political party.
While there have been plenty of good voice overs running in positive ad campaigns, a recent set of negative and stony voice over ads have crept out from the shadows, trying to influence voters in last minute efforts to secure votes.
As Canadians, we're not easily swayed by malicious propaganda (or any propaganda for that matter), so these negative voice overs may not prove as effective as originally intended by the political parties in question. Canadians prefer to address politics in a civil manner, not with fear mongering and smear campaigns.
Negative voice overs are not a new tactic when it comes to election campaigns. Our neighbours in the USA have heard their fair share of negative voice overs over the years too.
Do voice overs in used in broadcast advertisements influence your vote? If so, which ones do and why?
If you're reading this and are a veteran of the voting game, please leave a comment to let us know where you stand on the issue of political advertisements ~ voice overs, and all.
Best wishes,
I enjoy strong female voices. Particularly deeper sounding resonant voices.
Posted by:Whether you're recording a TV commercial or shooting a corporate video, it isn't enough to simply pick a song, drop it in and call it a day. Musical choices must reflect your brand, move the given project forward and closely align with your voice-over needs. Learn more.

An Edina woman convicted of stealing money while working as a court-appointed guardian and conservator for vulnerable adults has been sentenced to a year in jail.
Terri Ann Hauge, 57, is already serving a 270-day sentence in Hennepin County for stealing from an estate she oversaw. On Sept. 14, a Rice County judge sentenced her to 365 days in jail for convictions of perjury and theft by swindle related to cases she handled. She was also ordered to pay restitution and do 240 hours of community service.
I reported last year how Estate Resources, the company run by Hauge and Terrance Larpenteur, handled the finances for 200 vulnerable adults, despite a history of problems and complaints. The company collapsed in 2009. In March, Larpenteur, who now lives in Arizona, was sentenced to 180 days in the workhouse for his role in stealing from an estate.

Twitter Chat: What Conditions Support Good Teaching?
Join us tonight (Wed.) at 8 p.m. ET for a Twitter chat (#ewedchat) on how schools can better support good teaching.
Join us tonight (Wed.) at 8 p.m. ET for a Twitter chat (#ewedchat) on how schools can better support good teaching.
In a roundtable conversation, accomplished educators explore the question of what makes a great. And researchers have some ideas of their own.
In the latest Education Week Twitter chat, participants rejected the idea that teachers don't have time to take on leadership opportunities.
In the latest installment of Education Week's Twitter chat series, we discuss what it actually means to be a teacher leader.
The Commit to Lead site has certainly improved in some aspects since it launched in August.
The vague promise of a federal teacher-leadership program seems to be growing into something more tangible.
In a PBS segment, Harvard education-innovation expert Tony Wagner said he likes the idea of teacher-led schools but suggested that teachers generally haven't acquired the education-management knowledge or vision to create truly transformative schools.
TNTP, nonprofit teacher-recruitment and policy organization, has announced the four winners of its 3rd annual Fishman Prize for Superlative Classroom Practice.
If you're a teacher who's struggling or someone who supports teachers who are struggling, please join us Wednesday evening for a live web chat with Meenoo Rami, author of the recently published book "Thrive: 5 Ways to (Re)Invigorate Your Teaching."
Education Week Top School Jobs is holding a virtual career fair, with presentations on professional development and teacher-candidate selection.

I could simply create chunks of a file and then write those "manually" using mongo inserts, but as far as I understand GridFS will take care of the chunking. If someone could shed some light on the nodejs API implementation of GridFS in MongoDB it would be appreciated. Also that others looking for a solution can have a resource here :)
I need a sample code which can upload images into gridfs using nodejs.

Korean iPod clone released
Normally we couldn't care less about iPod clones, but Korean company Nextway has announced the D Cube NHD-150D, a 1.5GB hard drive based audio player looking very similar to the iPod. It's white, and has an LCD display above a scroll wheel and buttons similar to older iPods. Its features include; OGG Vorbis support, 8 line LCD, FM transmitter, FM radio and FM record, direct encoding, Mac OS support and the list goes on. We could not find a price posted on the website. Apple has been known to sue for such 'similarities' in product design, most notably the original iMac.

AH! I hate to be a whiny grammarian, but this is my #1 pet peeve in the entire world. "Normally, we COULD care less…" NO, nonono. This means that you care a lot about iPod clones, when you actually want to say that you don't care at all about them.
The correct expression is: "...we COULDN'T care less…" meaning that there is no way you could care less about these pathetic clones.
Sorry, but I have to start fighting back against this horrific, terrible, patently offensive cliche. ;)

And you thought the chinese were bad. Well, they are and I'm chinese but geez, that's the past. =)
Anyways, it looks very much like a rip off the design. And the scroll wheel? If you say it doesn't look nearly identical to the Apple one, you must be blind. It's nearly identical down to the buttons!
Geez, if you're gonna copy, make it less noticeable!
I'd hate to see how soon this company pulls its products after it receives the lawsuit tomorrow morning.
Anyways, ogg support, nice!
A built in FM transmitter? Nice! I don't care for the FM tuner, but rather, an AM tuner. Why? News!

you all aeem scared of these clones. its technology a si have said in previous posts. it advances, the iPod will advance, and it will be the superior, its what happens, other companies started catchin up, and then Apple struck back with more stuff, and theyre gona realise they need to add more features to the next gen. as for the scrol wheel, well, i read somewhere apple does have the right over it, which is why no other company have ben able to use it. so im sure this korean company have found a loophole and are ALLOWED to make them. im not sure, its just my veiw.
this isnt intended for big music fans, 1.5 gb of music will last u…im not sure, about 1 days non stop music? ium sure someone can corect me on this
Posted by silver_haze20 on January 20, 2004 at 2:55 AM (CST)
If Mac OS support turns out to mean AAC and Fairplay DRM, so that it works with iTMS, that would be a significant step along the way to consolidating AAC as the dominant music format.
Apple won't be able to own the entire on-line music market from distribution to player, but they could dominate it.
In order to dominate it, they need to allow others to join them. Other hardware manufacturers will need to build devices that will work with iTMS.
This could be the sort of product to do that - maybe not this particular one, but something that differentiates itself from the current iPods.
There's no indication of price, but if it were cheap, including the FM transmitter would open up markets .... and close others where that type of FM transmission is illegal.
My hunch is that this particular product won't turn out to offer anything special, least of all concerning AAC, but a product announcement similar to this one may well turn out to be the significant one.
Posted by AlanAudio on January 20, 2004 at 3:10 AM (CST)
You can call it copying, but the problem is that Apple found the perfect way to scroll that also gives the iPod a distinct and unique look. The circle is the only way to continuously scroll without lifting a finger. Think about it. It's like finding the shape that has all points on the edge the same distance from the center- the circle. It has so many practical uses, and to hold it back from other companies to build upon and improve wouldn't be fair.
Posted by Sam on January 20, 2004 at 5:31 AM (CST)
Found the site…Korean anyone?
1) Yes, it's a cheap knockoff.
2) It seems small…~iPod mini sized?
3) I'm torn on the "inspirational" use iPod scroll wheel. It is THE key to the iPods success IMHO. However, I love scroll wheel mice. What if only one company (Microsoft or Logitech) could produce that?

Posted by al on January 20, 2004 at 7:24 AM (CST)
Alright, as a student of graphic design, I would like to say one thing. Taking ideas and design into your own work/inspiration, is LEGAL. Using those ideas and calling them your own is NOT. I think any company trying to break into the market, and fight against Apple, effectively and respectively, NEEDS TO BE ORIGINAL. Use Apple's ideas and moves as an inspiration to your own work, but make sure it is your own work.
Posted by powerbook17 on January 20, 2004 at 7:47 AM (CST)
It is interesting to note that Apple's scollable wheel design is a direct clone of the B & O BeoCom 1 phone (http://www.bang-olufsen.com/sw4387.asp). Or is it the other way around. I pretty sure the latter was there first.

I really dont think apple have anything to worry about with this one

if they released it in a higher capacity and gave it a decent price, I'd consider it.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan…....never have I seen something looking THAT much like an iPod before. I mean, if they are gonna copy it, at least change a few more things about the design to cover their own asses like the colour.
The player does look pretty damn small in this pic though: http://www.nextway.co.kr/products/new_150d.asp#22
Either that or the guy holding it has big hands.

Rishdeep: The iPod mini measurements are 91 x 51 x 13 mm. According to the web site for this Korean product, its measurements are 88 x 48 x 19 mm.
So it is slightly smaller than the iPod mini in length and width, but about 33% thicker.

Good for them. The iPod is the best design around. It's about time somebody did the smart thing and copied it rather than trying to reinvent the (scroll)wheel.
As for any lawsuit Apple may have in mind, I'd like to see them try.

First of all, Apple did not "threaten" Samsung over their player - the reason it looks and behaves very like the iPod is because Samsung and Apple both license the design from a SDanta Clara music player design engineering company.
Secondly, Apple do not have a patent on the original iPod scroll wheel, but they do have a patent on the mini iPod clickable scroll wheel. It was awarded only a few months ago.
I have doubts they could enforce this patent for too long though, because the Mattel Intellivision video game system in the early 1980s used a substantially similar clickable scroll disc in its gamepads.

I had one of the first Intellivition sets many years ago. I seem to remember that scroll disc being on that moved, though, not a touch-sensitive wheel as the iPod mini's is. Isn't that true?
