We were found by a really adorable dog on Saturday - a female - possibly a poodle, not a toy breed - kind of gold hair, very curly and cropped close. She looked like she had just been groomed and her tummy was shaved. No collar. Maybe about 15 pounds. She smelled as if she had been out at least overnight. She walked right up to us in the yard from the direction of Buck Island Road. We live in the Meadowbrook. She is totally sweet, affectionate, and very calm! She only got a little nervous in the car. We took her to Dr. Ben's but he was closed already, so Brooke's Bed & Biscuit took her.

Emma1Let's find this sweet dog a home.Emma2This adorable young collie mix (EMMA) is scheduled to be put to sleep this week if a rescue cannot be found for her. She was adopted as a young puppy and her owners kept her for nine months and then dumped her back at the shelter saying their circumstances had changed. She is absolutely gorgeous and has a heart of gold. Extremely friendly and has been well taken care of so far.

If you go to the web site at www.letssaythanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it only takes a second. I just did it...it's cool give it a try
This is real - I just checked it on Snopes - http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/letssaythanks.asp

We were having a convo a whole back and were pointedly asked what have Muslims ever done to threaten our rights as American citizens under the Constitution. I replied that because of where we live, we don't run into them on a daily basis, but that Sharia is creeping into our law, and some are on the side of tolerance when it comes to what THEY, (the Muslims) want - but are not so sensitive to other groups. Here is an example of that, CG, I am certain you will enjoy:)

We had a little blogging going on recently about the two vapid fluff mags known as Skirt and Pink, and how we'd rather have the Bluffton Crud for a week than attend a Partini. Well, I read today that Skirt is suing Pink for COPYING. It's colors, it's format, it's exclamtion points, it's...you get it. "WHHAAA!!! They stole my idea for a women's magazine about boob lifting!!" Think Skirt has a point? Or are they jealous because they are not having Skirtinis??

Well, since Obama is a Muslim who respects Arab tradition, then it should be no surprise that his handshake is a bit limp by Western standards. :bricks:

Funny how what this father has to say has become so much more important than what this ambassador's father or this SEAL's mother had to say about the same tragedy..... LiveLeak.com - Father of US Amb Killed in Libya "Abhorrent to Make This Into a Campaign Issue" (comments) BBC News - Slain ex-US Navy Seal Glen Doherty's mother rebukes Romney
She's right................ There's panic in the "Left Wing Gang" they never dreamed so many people would turn on their beautiful golden boy messiah, they have been blindsided. PANIC IN LOONVILLE
""I'm" not saying anything...I'm merely pointing out that one statement seems to be getting much more publicity than the other two did...and that people here seem to be giving it much more credence than they gave the other ones.
Correction....he is the father of ONE of the dead SEALs.......the father of the other dead SEAL, as well as the mother of the dead ambassador, want nothing to do with either media or outrage.
We'll see how others react when they find out their children were left allowed to be slaughtered while the administration watched and stopped the military from saving them.....

March 14, 2014 in France / (0) comments
Impressionist art was a movement spawned in the 19th century by a group of French painters that emphasized colors, lighting and the essence of time passage in the works which often featured outdoor landscapes and depicted human movement rather than still portraits—a new artistic concept for the times.

Hello Anime Vice! I know this isn't anime-related, but I really wanted to share this with you guys and girls. Please take the time to read this blog post thoroughly, I would really appreciate it. I will try to keep this as concise as possible, and if you're looking for any further info please follow the links I provide or just ask me :D
So basically the Sharp Park Wetlands are being drained in order to create a golf course; which is endangering the California Red-Legged Frogs. Once these wetlands are drained, the frog's natural habitat will be gone, and their populations will decline. Please visit this link for more information: Save The Sharp Park Wetlands!, and if you want to sign the petition to get the Mayor to cancel his veto, please visit this link to the petition
I just learned about this pesticide in my biology course yesterday and it really is mind-boggling. I'll try to keep this as simple as possible, but basically this chemical is being used regularly in agricultural practices and it has great effects on frogs since it disturbs the endocrine system (what's in charge of hormones in the body). Since frogs have permeable skin it makes them even more susceptible to this stuff, and the fact that they rely on hormone-regulated steps of development (i.e. metamorphosis), atrazine has a great negative impact on them.
As you can see, this pesticide is very dangerous to frogs, if you'd like to save the frogs and ban this pesticide from use then please sign your name on this petition.
For more information regarding atrazine and saving the frogs, please visit this link: ATRAZINE: The 21st Century's DDT
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and sign the petitions I linked to this blog post. Why am I doing this you might ask? Well I'm a a second year environmental science university student that's really really reaaaaaaaaaaaally passionate about my studies. I signed the petitions and I thought to spread the word just in case there were people out there that wanted to contribute but didnt know about it. I think that we can all make a difference, and since we humans are the ones that keep messing up I think its our responsibility to take part in the solution.
(The info and facts that I used for this blog were from the official websites I provided above, and from my own personal knowledge that I obtained from my studies.)
Thank you so much for your time and contribution

Survivors of the Rwandan genocide welcome Agathe Habyarimana's arrest
In this edition: The widow of Rwandan president Habyarimana arrest was closely followed online; Polish web users win a battle in web censorship war in their country; and on YouTube, MysteryGuitarMan plays Mozart with beer bottles.
Organizations that work to protect and defend survivors of the genocide have welcomed the news. This collective had filed a complaint against Agathe Habyarimana before the French Court. Their web site echoes their combat to track down those genocide perpetrators currently hiding in France.
Many of those involved in the genocide fled abroad afterwards and are still escaping justice. Fugitives wanted by Interpol, which in collaboration with The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, has issued these descriptions of wanted persons on YouTube.
A town where there's no crime and the inhabitants have a strong sense of civic spirit. Here is "Parthenope", the ancient name of Naples. It's a dream shared by a group of Neapolitan web users. They want to refound the old city and base it on ethical and moral values. The portal has a daily online newspaper as well as a virtual town hall to discuss city matters. Parthenope currently has over 3000 inhabitants. The next step: to expand its influence in the real world by submitting proposals to Naples City Council.
See what your friends have been looking at on the Internet. This new service, called "Have your friends been there?" allows you to dig through your contacts' browsing history. You just have to send a particular Internet site address to the person of your choice and when that person clicks on the link, some software will search through their browser history, looking for addresses of pornographic websites.

A fuel filter helps keep the fuel really clean before it goes into your vehicle's engine. As the fuel flows into the Suzuki Swift fuel filter, particles that include stubborn gunk and soot are sifted out, effectively preventing them from damaging the fuel injector and entering the engine.
Just like any other filter, the car filter will eventually fail. If dirt particles, stubborn gunk, and fuel deposits are stuck on the auto fuel filter, it has to be attended to as soon as it's possible. Contaminants have certainly taken a toll on your Suzuki Swift fuel filters once these following signs are observed: starting issues, an engine sputtering, and rough idle. Changing the fuel filter once every 12 months is a good idea, but always remember that the level of pollution in your location, and if you usually use your Suzuki Swift on extremely long drives will definitely contribute to your fuel filter's durability.
When you urgently need a direct-fit replacement for the fuel filter, simply shop here and enjoy access to high-caliber, pocket-friendly items. You can surely rely on us when it comes to round-the-clock customer support, dependable shipping, and jaw-dropping offers you will not get anywhere else. In terms of product reliability, you'll have nothing to be troubled about especially because we feature items only from top names that include Febi, Hengst, and OE Aftermarket. To keep your ride's fuel clean, simply equip it with a high-quality Suzuki Swift fuel filter only from our store.

It's closing time
Many ski areas this year have enough snow to stretch the season late into spring, but they'll be closing this month anyway despite near record-breaking conditions. Early season closures come as a result of a decrease in visitors and due to land use and wildlife restrictions.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has a season total of 557 inches but Sunday, April 3, marked the resort's last day of the 2011 season. "It has been a record-breaking season in lots of ways," says Jackson Hole spokesman Zahan Billimoria. "But as a destination resort, we don't have any major metropolitan areas nearby. As a result, we rely heavily on destination guests, who by and large aren't traveling to ski beyond spring break."
Utah's Brian Head Resort, which sits at the highest base elevation in the state, will close on April 24 because business slows down so much in late April. "Our skiers just kind of go away," Brian Head spokesman Jon Christofferson says. "Once summertime hits down there they just forget about skiing."
Snowbasin, Utah, expects to have a 150-inch base when it closes April 17. Spokesman Jason Dyer says declining numbers determine the closing date, as well as safety concerns and the need to begin trail maintenance for summer activities.
In Colorado, Crested Butte received 30 inches of snow in the last week, but the ski area closed Sunday, April 3, the same day as Telluride (which has a 65-inch base). On April 10, Wolf Creek will close with a 101-inch base, the same day that Steamboat (93-inch base) shuts down. The snow may be there, but the skiers have moved on, says Steamboat spokeswoman Loryn Kasten. "We usually close right around the same time every year and it's based on skier interest," she says, listing summer activities that draw people away from the slopes.
Four-season resorts close to prepare for the change of seasons, including Whistler Blackcomb, which has traditionally closed one of its peaks in April. Whistler will close April 25 so that mountain bike park preparations can get underway. Blackcomb Mountain will remain open for skiing until May 23. "It's a hard balance because the bike park is so popular," says Whistler's Ryan Proctor. "If we don't get that open we'd be cutting business down."
U.S. Forest Service recreational land-use permits also restrict operating days per year at various resorts around the country. And at Washington's Crystal Mountain, elk calving areas are off limits for spring skiing, although the new Mt. Rainier Gondola will remain open after the rest of the chairlifts shut down.
Of course, some resorts will stay open as long as there's snow. Says Mad River Glen, Vermont's Eric Friedman, "We plan to go as long as we can until the snow gives out."

It seems like every few years a new e-book device comes out that promises to revolutionize our reading experience, hoping we'll throw out our book collection and read everything electronically. Recently, the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle have been the contenders in e-books, but many people complain that they are not open enough for different types of books and that nothing can really replace the printed word on paper — for portability and ease of use. So what would entice you to give e-books a try? Cheaper books, better interfaces, less environmental impact? What features would you want in an e-book? Or if you've already been won over, tell us what you like about your Kindle or other e-book reader device. I'll run the best comments in a future Your Take Roundup post.
What might entice you to use e-books or e-readers like Kindle?
Sleeker hardware. Better design. Larger reading surface. Thinner. More portable. Cheaper content.
Cheaper unit price. Ability to load your own stuff. Word processing. -
http://blog.julie-h.com/ JulieH
If all of the books I needed for class were available that way, and the books were enough less than the printed copy to cover the reading device and still leave me with extra $$$ in my pocket, versus the printed version, I'd go for it. This semester I spent about $400 on printed books.
http://renaissancechambara.com Ged Carroll
I already use two ebook readers and get all the functionality of Kindle in my mobile phone Mobipocket software is multi-platform and I have been using it since I used to have a Palm V device. I now use it on my Nokia E90 Communicator. I get most of my books pre-encoded from Blackmask.net (mostly public domain classics and pulp fiction). I also use the mobile version of bloglines as my RSS reader, my account currently has about 330 feeds in it, but thats constantly going up and down as I chop old feeds and bring in new ones.
I used Adobe Acrobat to read some books releases under CC licence such as the works of Lawrence Lessig and academic papers.
For proprietary content I find it cheaper to get secondhand or discounted books via Amazon's Marketplace service.
Kindle would need to be 10 times better than my current solution for me to choose it, cheaper, easier to read, more flexible than my current device. That's a tall order, I know.
Timothy Nott
Kindle is too ugly to be seen with.
Sony's is too expensive.
I need a solution that is rugged and can do more than one thing. For a couple hundred bucks, I want to be able to do more than save a couple trees. The technology has to be BETTER than paper, not nearly as good. I need to be able to take notes/write responses, send those notes to someone, check references online, build derivative work. A handheld is oh-so-close to what I want, but the screens are too small.
I opted to try out the OLPC. It is supposed to ship the first week of March. Worst case scenario, it'll go fast on Ebay and I've made a donation to a good cause. Hopefully those kids get their laptops faster than I will.
I would like the same flexibility for a reader that I have with an MP3 player. I know that I can get any new content in MP3 and I can easily convert my current content into MP3, no matter how obscure or unpopular it is.
For reading, I'm dependent on someone else deciding what gets converted so some periodicals, some books, some newspapers become available but not necessarily the ones I want. For me it would be the worst of all worlds–I'd have to carry a reader AND printed reading, all while I'm probably also toting a laptop. One of those has to go and it's the reader. -
I have been reading novels on my regular 'dumb' cell phone for a while. at the moment it's all been public domain and creative commons stuff from http://www.booksinmyphone For me the phone is perfect for that kind of 'low format' content – it's more portable than Kindle or a paper book.
What's missing for me is something for newspapers, academic papers, and magazines. I think that means larger full color ePaper that can fold or roll-up.

How about a device that offers more than simply the print book in electronic format? I'm talking about a major overhaul to how books are written, but one that would result in a better layering of content, particularly for reference material. This is more than simply embedding links to other sources; it's really about tapping into the platform and creating a product and content repository that has social networking capabilities. Again, it's more than just a port from print to e-book and probably way out there on the time line.
As an eBook publisher/writer, we have a definite need for an eBook reader that is very similar to a book, with large reading screens, but which allows bookmarking, note taking, and eMail. Obviously, it should allow downloading and storage for flexibility and scheduling. It should be possible to port the info (with notes, etc.) to a regular computer. It should be thin, lightweight, open like a book with a screen on each side. Think iPhone for moving things around and adding text (or maybe voice activated). It should be comfortable to support with one hand and read from it in the traditional reading position. If the developers will give us the hardware, watch eBooks (with video and audio) take off. We will then really start saving trees and time! We will also be better able to organize and retrieve our knowledge.

This is one of the nicest 8 drawer spice cabinets that I have offered for sale. In GREAT! condition and will finish off that look you want for the kitchen. It measures 16.75" x 9.5" x 5.25. The decorative circles with the porcelain knobs are what set this one apart from many others.

Filling out a voter registration card doesn't require a proof of citizenship.
Elections officials say you just have to prove who you are.
"In Texas, you do not have to prove your citizenship. All you do is check a box on the application - either yes you are a citizen or no you are not," said Karen Nelson, Smith County Elections Administrator.
With concerns over voter fraud and illegal immigration...some East Texans say they wouldn't have thought that was the case.
"No I did not know that until this morning...I think it should be proven," said Dianne Smith, East Texan.
Acceptable forms of identification include some that don't have anything to do with citizenship. Such as a utility bill with your name and address on it. Ginger Young, a Tyler attorney says there are always ways around laws.
"I think that the laws are very clear and pretty well known, but as with any law, if someone illegal or legal wants to get around them, there's always ways to do that," said Young.
But much like lying on other official government documents, the consequences for lying about being a citizen are pretty severe.
"It's a federal issue, on a federal level, through senate and congress and not for individual states," Young said.
So when Arizona tried to pass it's own law, judges said it was unconstitutional.

On Friday, May 2, Sterling College inducted 13 students into the college chapter of National Honor Society, Alpha Chi. An induction ceremony was held in Cornerstone on the campus of Sterling College to welcome the top 10 percent of the junior and senior class into this elite group of students.
Students in the Global Impact class, an honors class at Sterling College, traveled to Wichita and Oklahoma at the end of April to see how other groups of Christians are addressing the issues of suffering throughout the world.
For Sterling College Assistant Professor of History Dr. Daniel Julich, a normal summer break is filled with preparation for the upcoming academic year. However, the summer of 2013 will bring a unique opportunity for Julich as he was recently selected to participate in one of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities' annual faculty seminars.

Listener Supported Public Media from Fordham University
Fresh releases abound during these early dog days of August. Tonight on UKNY at 11, music from newer faces, like Annie Eve (pictured), FURS and Nick Mulvey, plus veterans like King Creosote and Simian Mobile Disco. Also, the debut of Little Tornados, the intriguing group founded by former Stereolab chanteuse Laetitia Sadier and filmmaker David Thayer.
The Glasgow 2014 Commonweath Games are underway until August 3, with nearly 5000 athletes from 71 nations and territories competing in 17 different sports. At 11 tonight, in honor of the 20th anniversary of this iteration of the Games (originally founded 84 years ago as the British Empire Games in Hamilton, Canada), UKNY will dwell on music from some of those Commonwealth countries, like Scotland, South Africa, Nigeria and New Zealand. Included in that international lineup is music from Wunder Wunder, OY (pictured), Vancouver Sleep Clinic, Tiny Ruins, Owl John and much more. Plus, a small salute to the Tour de France too, which concludes at Stage 21 tomorrow in Paris. Will Italy's Vincenzo Nibali take home the yellow jersey?
At 11 on UKNY, brand new British releases from The Clientele (playing Baby's All Right in Brooklyn this evening), Jaws, All We Are (pictured), The Proper Ornaments and The History of Apple Pie. Anna Calvi duets with David Byrne on a haunting Keren Ann cover and tonight's Commonwealth Cut hails from Toronto but embraces sunny L.A.-style guitar-pop.
At 11 tonight on UKNY, expect a stack of very new (or recent) releases from British bands and artists headed to New York next week or in the very near future—like Basement Jaxx, Cymbals and Jamie xx—as well as sunny and sublime summertime sounds from the jaunty Bologna-London dance duo M+A, Bristol's dreamy Meadowlark (pictured) and majestic Leeds quintet Dancing Years.
Tonight at 11, UKNY marks its first anniversary on WFUV. While the show usually focuses on emerging and established British artists, this week—in honor of Independence Day—the former colonies and the motherland converge for a British-American edition, celebrating bands and collaborations that bridge both countries, like Fleetwood Mac, Blood Orange and Friends' Samantha Urbani (pictured), Atoms For Peace, Big Deal, The Kills … and even Monty Python.

quote:Anthony Davis has the 7th best PER among all PFs this season and is 30th overall. Irving clocked in a 23 in PER last season (a shortened one at that) Both are nice players. The whole "this position is more important than that one" when it comes to championship teams is stupid. Good teams win championships, not elite PGs or C
quote:Plus, Davis is still growing, is 19, and larger players tend to peak later. Add all that in, and it's fairly spine-tingling to think what his peak will be.
quote:they don't allow for the same efficiencies and hog the ball too much, basically
quote:cp3 will need to become more of a scorer in the playoffs if the clips want to win it all
quote:That's why I think that comparing AD and his upside to any PG is useless.
quote:Right. Garnett, for instance, didnt record double digit rebounds or average 20ppg until his 4th season despite playing almost 40mpg. Then he went on a 9 year stretch of 10+ rpg (led league 4 times) and 20+ppg A guy like Duncan came into the league beasting, but he was also a 4 year guy at Wake. Davis will get there. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Cowdenbeath V Falkirk at Central Park : Match Preview
Cowdenbeath V Falkirk - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Strike duo back for CowdenbeathCowdenbeath could have their first-choice strike partnership available to face Falkirk as both Greg Stewart and Lewis Coult returned to training this week following ankle injuries.Captain Joe Mbu is also in with a chance after getting over his broken toe, but Liam Cusack's knee injury and Pablo Navas' hip problem keeps them sidelined.Blue Brazil player-manager Colin Cameron said: "I'm sure Falkirk are disappointed with where they are in the table just now but we have no plans to let them get any closer to us."We showed great belief in the second half against Partick Thistle last weekend and if we can do that from the first whistle in this game then we will do well."Falkirk have ruled out young midfielders Craig Sibbald and Jay Fulton (both knee) as they travel looking for only their second win in the First Division this season.Skipper Darren Dods is expected to be available after a calf problem to help settle the Bairns, who have taken the lead in their last three games but have only picked up two points.Technical director Alex Smith said: "We are in the habit of going in front and then drifting out of games. Having Darren back will settle the players down as we really need to be picking up three points."Cowdenbeath are a well-organised side and have a great player-manager in Colin Cameron, however we need to get our season going with a win."

Dakshina Kannada Telecom District net adds 4,625 customers in 12 months
During the last 12 months, more mobile phone users of other operators embraced BSNL than those who abandoned it in favour of other players.
Statistics made available to The Hindu by the Dakshina Kannada Telecom District — covering Udupi, Chikmagalur and parts of Uttara Kannada — showed that it rather gained from the mobile number portability (MNP) facility. It was apprehended that many would shift to private players after the introduction of number portability.
In the one year ended June 30, 10,843 mobile phone users shifted to BSNL while the number of those who ported out was 6,318 — a net gain of 4,625 customers for the Government-run cellular player.
In September and October, the number of those porting in was nearly three times more than that of those who ported out with average monthly gain being nearly 700, the statistics showed. In July, the net gain was substantially fewer with just more than 100 customers. BSNL officials said DKTD had given priority to mobile portability with teams formed to follow up the port out requests and to assess the reasons for abandoning it and finding ways to retain customers.
As far as porting in was concerned, the teams would reach customers to get the documents in many cases so that they need not run around, the officials said.
The officials credit this trend to its customer friendly post-paid and prepaid plans both in voice and data categories. "The data usage under post-paid category is just 1 paisa per 10 kb and in prepaid category, 2 paisa per 10 kb. Apart from this, there are many data plans from seven days validity to 90 days validity and customers can choose from a host of plans depending on the need," the sources said.
The telecom district had put into service 483 Base Trans-receiver Stations (BTSes) – 422 for 2G and 61 for 3G services – to ensure wide coverage of signal. It has plans to commission 142 more BTSes (118 for 2G and 34 for 3G) in the months to come. "With this, it is expected to improve the service level and our MNP base will get stronger," a BSNL official said.

Suspected police impersonator questioned in Mississippi
POSTED: Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 8:00pm
UPDATED: Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 8:04pm
MISSISSIPPI (CNN) — Mississippi authorities are questioning a man suspected of impersonating a police officer to determine whether he is involved in the killings of two motorists on highways in the state, a sheriff's investigator said Thursday.
The man was picked up after stopping two drivers, Humphreys County Sheriff Investigator Sam Dobbins told CNN. He was driving a blue Mercury Marquis that used to be a police car and still had flashing blue lights on top, Dobbins said.
Investigators have raised the possibility that someone posing as a police officer is to blame for the shootings, which happened 55 miles apart. Ballistics tests have linked the killings, a source who has been briefed on the investigation said Thursday.

No. No library discussion here. Just "sharing" thoughts about an upcoming race.
I ordered this most wonderful book titled Core Collection for Young Adults. It comes with a CDRom that contains all the titles in various formats. Now, what I want to do is compare what is on the CD to what I already have without going through the mess one title at a time. I run Follett and don't see anything on there that will let me do this. sigh. Of course, I can't do this at home because I can't access my collection info from home.
Funny how certain people make the humanity level in a room go way up.
After a very nasty remark about our Black History Month display by one patron, we got hit with some kids that seemed to think it was totally appropriate to play hide and seek in the basement of the library. I got them out quickly. Somehow when this happens, it blurs the lines of what's appropriate in a library for me again.
I am always having strange comments directed towards me. Here is a recent one that takes the cake. Just a few days ago I was in the music room. Our elementary music teacher and I collaborate for a 20 minute music/library time. It is great. We sing songs, do puppet shows, read stories, etc. Anywho – Music teacher says to me, "Are you lactose intolerant?��Why, yes,� I say, "Why do you ask?��Oh, you just look like you would be,� he answers.
This has been a "blog-of-interest" among some people I 'know' over the past few days (all bloggers):
The following remark came to me via a third party (of course) -- I quote: "Nobody goes into a library after they graduate." Now, this comes from a man who teaches mathematics at my high school. I don't know about anyone else, i.e. non-librarians, but I have had zero reason to step into a math classroom after graduation, and libraries are my second and third homes.
For the past several days here in Southeast Alaska we have had unexpected sunshine with daytime temps around 40. For us, that is a lovely spring day and some people are already breaking out shorts. I myself don't switch to shorts until we hit the 60s -- high 50s if I'm hiking.
Hope other people (especially slashgirl) are getting some nice weather coming their way!
If the weather folks are right, we'll have rain and snow in a day or two, but even so, it will have been a good run of good weather!
This one will be sans my spiffy little charts and graphs due to lack of Photoshop here at work.
So last month...
~126,700 sessions, that's an average of about 4,400 a day. We served ~371,000 pages, which is about 12,800 a day. All that added up to a daily average of about 61,000 hits, a total of around 1.7 million for the month. All of those numbers are a bit ahead of the previous month. We posted an amazing 443 stories from 33 different authors this month, which is the most impressive number, for me at least. That's almost double the numbers from January. Is more always better?
The journals got hit a lot last month. Shoe & nbruce being the most popular, both had well over 20 reads a day. I was a distant third, followed by birdie, Rochelle, Daniel, AshtabulaGuy, tomeboy, djfiander, Bibliofuture, Samantha, and Aaron. If you write, it gets read. It looks like for most people, having the new entry show up on the LISNews index page leads to most of the readers. The more popular writers also have a significant number of people scraping their rss feed as well.
Referrals continue to be all about google. Though only about 25% of LISNews readers even use a referral, those that do came in from one of googles sites more often than most by a large margin. Yahoo, MSN, and Aol were all in the top 10, but msn and AOL were both beaten by Radio rss users. The most popular search terms tell me most folks are not finding what they had hoped for @LISNews. I often think of just adding a meta tag to exclude the entire site from search engines all together just to see what happens. An experiment in web stealth.
Last month we also saw a record number of comments, and moderations. We now have well over 2700 members, and a rather vocal minority are commenting frequently, with a decent number of people jumping in from time to time as well. 763 comments last month, compared to 495 the month before, and 291 back in December. Those comments came from 88 different people [this is an undercount I just relized. It counts AP's as just one, when it could've been hundreds, I'll work on that for next month]. 55 people moderated 456 of those comments. Just 17 people metamoderated last month, which is up one from the previous month, but still rather anemic, which leads me to believe maybe I should just shut that off.
I keep hoping to get some development work done to the site, maybe that will happen this month. I'd like to add [not ass] an Atom feed, as well as a feed that shows all the journals at once. There's also a few other bugs floating around out there as well.
I posted on Opera's forums asking how to alter the ini file so that I could go through my proxy server (and hence get filtering software). I was told (by mods, no less), a method which I knew would work to enable the proxy server, but didn't tell me exactly how to do it from the ini file. Being a wannabe Linux geek, I like to see how things work under the hood. Of course, it dawned on me, like the mods said, that I could re-enable the GUI and use that. But I wanted to try it the hard way first. It must be a New England thing.
The hard way is not working, alas. I typed in various strings of code, hoping that they'd work, to no avail. So tomorrow night, if I get the chance, I re-enable the GUI and test it that way. Of course, if the GUI enables it correctly, this will also require a quick view of the ini file to see what exactly the code is. Now I have to know.
I think if this doesn't work, I may call Boston just to verify the IP address hasn't... um, moved. That scares me just a little. I fear we are often out of the loop. Although I think that I saw a site get blocked the other day on someone's computer. I'd like to just take the internet down completely if I had an afternoon free. It might be a morning free thing, though. Usually afternoons are spent doing crowd control.
Where are all these kids coming from? Many are well behaved, but exuberant. Some (and this number, though fewer than the well-behaved kids, is still substantial) are less than desirable. They went downstairs and whipped a bunch of books off the shelves the other day. Then they decided the library was boring, so it was better to go the Y.
Of course, they came back the next day. And the next.
I do need like three solid hours to do computer maintenance at the internet terminals. Coming into it on Monday isn't good, and Wednesdays are out. This leaves me Tuesday being my best bet, methinks. And I do so want to take it down in the afternoon. This sounds horrible, but there are certain people I'd like to get off the computers if only for the afternoon. I'd like to open their eyes that there are books, other people and other things in the library besides the damn internet terminals.
The internet terminals are part of my job. I keep them going, and I like people to use them. I like kids to come in and do homework with the internet's help, I like people to come in, get books on health conditions, and then do some research on the internet as well. I don't mind people checking email. Or filling out forms for job applications. It bugs me when the glassy eyed woman goes from computer to computer, literally taking seats out from people as they're sitting down, swearing at the librarian who gently reminds her she's signed up for a total of eight half hour turns that day (and it's only two o'clock). There is flagrant abuse of the system, and that bothers me.
Your books AND CDs are organized by subject or type then author/composer. Actually, my books aren't organized anymore. We purchased four eight foot tall bookshelves and to maximize space put all the paperbacks together, all the big books together, etc. So, the books aren't in order by subject anymore. But, then my husband and I have gobs and gobs of books. That's what I get for marrying a historian. ; )
Happily surfing along last week, I suddenly lost my DSL connection. Working with tech support, I was told that sometimes, Windows ME and 98 will suddenly decide that it will no longer support DSL via USB connections. I was told I'd need to install an ethernet card and/or upgrade to Windows 200 or XP. I don't even have an ethernet port on my clunker, so dude, I'm getting a Dell (go ahead, make fun of me. I've told you before that try as I might, I just don't have geek cred).
Man, did I have a patron today with bad oral hygiene.
Because I have been out, there hasn't been a newsletter from the library to the staff since May of 2003. What really got me motivated was my principal's comment during a staff meeting (long story) that he was going to visit and he didn't know what went on in the library. Sigh. So, I type a rough draft idea because I am going to let the newspaper staff send one out for me. That way some students will know what is going on as well.
Whatever you do, don't read this book unless you've got a notebook handy and a lot of time free to read other books. My "To Read" booklist doubled when I skimmed through this.
Interestingly enough, while I recognized a few authors, Nancy seems to delight it talking about authors that you've never heard of in almost all the categories. Which is a Good Thing, of course
I drove by a library today, but alas, there was a super-white (as opposed to plain-old-white) Prius in Bennington, VT with our name on it, so we stopped not.
We hit the road at five-thirty five in a green Saturn this morning, and returned this evening at seven in our Prius. We got 52.6 MPG in less than optimal conditions (it was cold as hell as we passed over the mountains in central Massachusetts) and reached 0-60 without a hitch in less than ten seconds.
The "Must Read Stories" topic has bugged me since the day I made it. I can't remember what I was thinking exactly (though I probably could figure it out by looking to see what the very first story was in the old LISNews Db), but it must've seemed like a good idea at the time. It's not used much, and seeing it on the homepage today kind of surprised me.
It's not that I'm against other authors calling something "Must Read," it's just that I can never seem to find a story important enough to apply such an honor. There've been some good stories over the years, Sony Barari, the Questia marketing thing, the interview with Pat Schroeder, and a few others, that I think everyone should've read at the time, but I just never feel that confident. I hate to "cry wolf" and use it too often, though never using it makes it equally useless I suppose.
Usually I think most of what I post should be read by everyone. Taking a quick peak at today's stories, yes, I'll stand by that statement. It was an eclectic mix of loosely library related stories that I think many people could learn something from. I know I took a bit away from everything I posted. The non-Blake stories were even better. Grades=driving, a nice google piece, a pro-filtering, book banning… all over the map, and that's just why I love reading LISNews, I never know what to expect next (Yes, obviously this can go too far). That's why it's not just my site, it's ours, it's not a meblog, it's a weblog. The past few weeks have seen a huge jump in the number of authors, or at least a huge jump in the number of people with the potential to be an author. I've added close to 30 new author accounts, though few have posted yet. In the 4+ years we've been around a lot of people have come and gone, very few have stayed on for more than a year or 2. The collaboration between all us authors, and all the other LISNewsterz is what makes the site so much fun, often the comments are often as interesting as the story itself.
I've been criticized in the past for not taking a more active role in editing LISNews. People have told me I should think of myself as a journalist, an editor, and act like it by forcing the LISNews authors to fall in line and focus the site. I have always waved my paw and said "bah" to those suggestions. It's all about collaboration, and I don't think we need more control at this point. I do think of LISNews as being journalisticISH, but I've never felt it fits the traditional definition of journalism. It's darn close, but we're not there yet, we're missing the originality that I would expect from a true gang of journalists (a gang of journalists come together and form some form of media outlet, which generally sells ads, and therefore becomes an advertising company). As the site matures I hope we do start to do our own original reporting, interviews, and whatever else we can come up with. Weblogs have not yet revolutionized journalism, but they may be causing some small amount of change, and that could lead to something. The day my mom tells me she read something on a blog is the day I think blogs have really caused a shift.

Ha, looks like New York around here. I may even give up grits. Just joking. We have had about eight inches of snow. WOW.
So, my son is still stuffed up, but I did find my kitchen counter. If I work some more, I may even have something to wear. Then, tomorrow, I can work on finding the floor. They have invented a robot vacuum cleaner that you can just let loose to do the rugs. Why haven't they invented a robot to do laundry and pick up clutter?
Well, at least the woodstove is going, and I am toasty warm.
From the snowy South ...
A thought I have had recently:Library science graduate work does not involve sitting around all day eating bon-bons, tearing up ILL forms, blowing off colleagues, torturing undergraduates, having a social life and doing such like that. There is work to be done like learning cataloging!
I got to play with the filter today. Or that is, I got to play with the last obstacle in getting the Linux terminal out. It's on the floor, it's ready to go. It's beautiful. But I can't get the filter to work with it. It shouldn't matter what browser I use, but it's not blocking a thing. I've been testing it. Now everyone thinks I'm a pervert.
No, they don't. They know why I'm doing it. I'm not liking it much though. It's sort of embarrassing. I always forget about the filter... I put the whole computer out on the floor and set it up for public consumption, and wham! I thought, "Shoot, the filter..."
So if anyone knows how to alter the Opera.ini file to get the proxy settings working send me the bit of code. The nice folks on the Opera board tried, but I'm still getting some nasty stuff when I type in "full frontal nudity". Our filter software is housed in Boston, in front of the firewall. I'm beginning to wonder about how well it all works anyway.
Oh my god, my head is going to explode! Too much to take in.
Today a woman accused a man of staring at her while she typed her email. She's right, he was. Like everyone there stares at each other on the computers. He was keeping his distance, though, so I didn't say anything. Well, keeping his distance more than most patrons. Then she got in a tussel with him, and I went over. She said that it was so loud in the library she couldn't think and that for the last twenty minutes (at the ten minute email terminal, I might add) she was getting stared at. She told me how uncomfortable that made her...
...then she touched my arm. Okay, I have this thing about being touched. You don't do it. That makes me uncomfortable. So whereas I could relate to her discomfort, and I can relate to her lamenting that people were staring, somehow I lost some sympathy. I told her I understood, and when I came over the guy backed off.
Being new, not only to this job but to the library field in general, I have little to go on as to where to draw the line at behavior. I don't want to stop kids from talking in the library if they are legitimately studying as well.... I don't want them to be loud, and I don't want to turn them off libraries forever. I do taking being stared at and being touched or any unwelcome approaches seriously. I do. It bugs the bejeebies out of me. But I also realize it's a public place, and people do have the right to sit there and... well... look at things. Preferably books, but if someone wants to look at the scenery and they aren't bothering anyone, then I'm not going to say anything. But I haven't gotten enough experience to really know where to draw the line.
Moreso, it's a relatively close public space. You're never really far from someone else. And people don't seem to realize that internet terminals are like ATMs... there's a code of conduct as to how close you stand. There is one particular chronic offender, who got mad at us yesterday and left in a huff. .
I am the systems librarian. I like technology. I like to share technology. I like people to benefit from technology. But boy, do I dislike people fighting over computers. For whatever reason. It's just silly.
There will be rioting when the access is card only. But that's the way it's going to be.
One day, I'd like to see two patrons get in a fist fight over who gets to take out War and Peace next. Sigh.
GUESS WHAT???? Tomorrow... we get a Prius! We found one in Vermont and will be there at nine tomorrow to pick it up. It's a white one, AI package. Almost exactly what we wanted. We wanted that particular package, in silver. White was our third color choice, but hey. Time to see if I can put Linux on it.
Think berries. Ummmmm...... What comes to mind? We've all heard of strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, boysenberries, mulberries, etc.
What then is a LIE – BERRY?
Yes, I now work in a middle to upper class suburban school district, but before that, I was a public librarian – wait – or is that liberrian? Since things are absolutely dead serious at work with budget cuts and other crazy things going on, I think I will share some of my public library adventures. Humor keeps me sane. Well, that is a matter of opinion.

Rob's new movie 'Cosmopolis' is set to premiere on Aug. 13 with many wondering how it will fare at the box office after Kristen's affair went public! Career Coach and author Roy Cohen reveals his expert opinion to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY! Read on for all the details!
Robert Pattinson feels betrayed after Kristen Stewart cheated on him with her director, Rupert Sanders. But his Hollywood status may rise due to Kristen's affair!
Career Coach and author Roy Cohen, tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively,"Although this has been such a devastating time for Rob, the visibility he is receiving right now generates a tremendous amount of interest. Moviegoers who were at one time not interested in Rob's films will be more likely to check out Cosmopolis. This of course means more box office sales which works in Rob's interest."
Kristen is reportedly not allowed at the premiere, but with or without Kristen, the movie is sure to bring in big bucks!
How do YOU feel, HollywoodLifers? Will Rob's box office sales rise due to Kristen's affair?

Gardening projects change lives of troubled veterans
(Read article summary)Encouraging recovering military veterans to work in community gardens helps lift them out of depression, increases their self-esteem – and even gets them eating better, says Vietnam War vet and gardening guru Howard Hinterthuer.
AP Photo/Chattanooga Times Free Press/Allison Love
Name: Howard Hinterthuer
Affiliation: Organic Therapy Program
Bio: Howard Hinterthuer served as a medic in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970. Returning from the war, he found solace by establishing various gardens in Virginia. Today, Howard works as a Peer-to-Peer Mentor for the Organic Therapy Program (OTP), a veterans' recovery project that promotes healing through organic gardening.
You recently gave a Ted Talk on the Organic Therapy Program (OTP). Can you tell us how the OTP started and how you, as one of its Peer-to-Peer Mentors, personally became involved with helping veterans recover from the war by gardening?
William Sims, a Vietnam veteran of the 101st Airborne Division who served from 1966 to 1967, started the Organic Therapy Program. Mr. Sims was wounded after being in Vietnam for about 9 months, and returned home to Milwaukee. He was able to deal with the stress of coming home and experiencing combat by puttering around in his mom's garden. He remembered that.
The Center for Veterans Issues has about 300 or more formerly homeless veterans in transition with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and depression. These veterans come to us and we provide a wrap-around service to deal with their different problems. Mr. Sims figured that if gardening was good for him, then it would be good for other veterans as well. So he began creating raised-bed gardens to help veterans cope with their problems.

NetBackup 7.1 upgrade from NetBackup 6.5.x and OpenStorage technologies (OST) being used with UNIX Media servers.
Article:TECH170276 | | | Created: 2011-09-23 | | | Updated: 2011-09-29 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH170276 |
After performing an upgrade to NetBackup 7.x it maybe require to re-install the OST plugin software.
There can be a variety of errors experienced if the plugin software is not re-installed. These can range from a status 213 Storage unit not available and 2074 disk pool not available.
The UNIX versions of NetBackup release 6.5.x was a 32 bit version of the application. The 7.x release of the application is only a 64 bit version for the UNIX platforms. The OST partners therefore have had to release a 64 bit verision of their plugin software. The Windows release of NetBackup 7.x is the only version of the application that is available in a 32 bit release.
The requirement of a 64 bit plugin software is required to work with the 64 bit release of NetBackup.
Please install the latest plugin software from your hardware provider. This should be ran after the installation/upgrade of the NetBackup software. Please contact your OST vendor for their latest plugin software.

What are karmas? What is the deepest meaning of the theory of karma? Karma is a method of autohypnosis. If you repeat an action continuously you become hypnotized by it; then the karma, the action, becomes the master and you are just a slave. What have you gained through sex? Have you gained anything or is it just a repetition? But you have repeated it for so long that if you stop now, you feel you are missing something. If you continue you feel nothing is gained. If nothing is gained by continuing it, then you are not missing anything by stopping it. Then why do you feel something is missing? It is just the old habit: a samskara, a conditioning, a karma. You have repeated it too many times and you have become hypnotized by it. Now you have to repeat it, it has become an obsession, it is compulsive.
A person goes on overeating. He knows it is bad - he suffers because of it, he is continuously ill - but still, when he sits down to eat he cannot help it. It is compulsive. What is compulsion? Because he has been doing it so long he has become hypnotized by it. He is drunk.
Mulla Nasruddin came home one night very late, it must have been three in the morning. He knocked; his wife was very angry, but Mulla said, "Wait! First give me one minute to explain, then you can start. I was sitting with a very sick friend."
His wife said, "A very likely story! But tell me the name of the friend."
Mulla Nasruddin thought and thought and thought, and then he said triumphantly, "He was so sick he couldn't tell me!"
The mind, if it is drunk, may find excuses but all those excuses are false, just like this one: "The friend was so sick that he couldn't tell me." For sex you will find excuses, for smoking you will find excuses, for your lust for power you will find excuses, but all excuses are lame. The real fact is that you are not ready to recognize that it has become compulsive, that you are under an obsession, you are under a hypnosis.
This is what a Jesus finds: everyone drunk and fast asleep. You cannot find it because you yourself are asleep. Unless you are awake you cannot become aware of what is happening all around. The whole world is moving in a somnambulism. That's why there is so much misery, so much violence, so much war. It is unnecessary, but it has to be so because people who are asleep and drunk cannot be responsible for anything. If somebody came to Jesus to ask what he should do to change, Jesus would say: You cannot do anything to change unless you become awake. What can you do? What can a man who is fast asleep do to change his dreams? What can he do?
People would come with the same question to Gurdjieff, and Gurdjieff is the man most representative of Jesus in this age, not the Vatican pope. Gurdjieff is the most representative because he believed in, and worked out, the same method of friction that Jesus was working with. He created many types of crosses for people to hang themselves on and be transformed. Gurdjieff also used to say that you cannot do anything unless you are. And if you are not awake, you are not there, you simply believe that you are. This belief won't help.
Now look at these sayings. They are all very profound, deep, very significant, and can become guide-lights on your path. Remember them.
