5.0 out of 5 stars "You don't need brains . . .,
Stephen A. Haines (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
. . . to be a builder", says Hansell, and goes on to demonstrate that with a photo of a house built by "Difflugia coronata". It's a spiked sphere with a nicely decorated front entry - tasteful, if rather enigmatic, one looks in vain for the resident. Not one of those clever wasps that pulps paper to tuck a nest under your eaves or one of the swallows that brings mud to accomplish a similar task, D. coronata is a micro-organism: an amoeba that collects tiny sand grains to build itself a shelter. An amoeba?? How does it accomplish this? Hansell responds, as he must do often in this fine study, "we don't know".
Animal building hasn't been a topic of intense study as the author frequently reminds us. However, he's good at demonstrating what we do know and what further work needs doing. He poses several good questions - how much of an animal's building skill is genetically inherited? How important to animals is the idea of standardised material [think "bricks" in human construction]? Which animals produce structures the equivalent of three times the size of any human office building? What planning steps are required for an orb spider to form its web? Finally, and what might be the most pertinent of all, what is a tool and is that what distinguishes human builders from the other animals?
As Hansell poses these questions, he goes on to show how some of the answers have been obtained. He explains the varieties of construction behaviour - how an African rat may have an extended burrow system with up to several hundred entries, for example. Logic demands this is an indication of a group endeavour, but the entire system is inhabited by one rat. We think birds intuitively construct complex nests from their first effort. Many weaver birds, however, may fall out of the tree on their first effort to fashion a hanging nest. Orb spiders, on the other hand, weave their webs with much variation - some species even know the best time of day to construct a particular type of web for a specific prey. An the web material is an engineering masterpiece - flexible enough to catch the prey and strong enough to hold it. How it manages this is a fascinating section of this book. Hansell warns the reader against falling victim to "heavy eyelids" prior to the description, noting that the solution is too "elegant" to miss. He's correct in that.
What does an animal "think" as it's building a structure?, he reflects. Some prompt leads bees to form comb relating to their body size, as do many nesting birds - especially weavers. Is there "thinking" involved when one of the bolas spiders shifts the issuing of a pheromone for one moth species to that of another - at a specific time of night? Termites built immense, complex towers - Hansell compares them to the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Yet, although there are millions of construction jobs in erecting the mounds, not one of the termites appears to be in charge. Does each termite carry a mental blueprint in that miniscule brain? Further, why do some termite species ventilate the mound with one method, while others in a similar environment do it differently?
Hansell poses these questions as much to himself as to the reader. He calls for research into various areas throughout the narrative. There are even topics he declares he will be investigating in the coming years. That's another thing that makes this book a prime gift to a young student. Building is not merely a human endeavour and variety and innovation isn't limited to our species. It's important to understand how life works and this is one significant indicator in that quest. Try this book and find out why. [stephen a. haines - Ottawa, Canada]

4.0 out of 5 stars Building is an Art,
J. Taylor (Poole, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Built by Animals: The natural history of animal architecture (Paperback)
Hansell makes a strong case for animals building, trapping and making difficult decisions in a state of blissful ignorance : they clearly have no concept of causal relationships.
An interesting issue this book provoked for me, is the one of human self-awareness and behaviour; how do we arrive rational descisions?
My one real criticism, contrary to another positive review, was that the author digresses a lot, which I felt actually interrupted the flow and coherence of the arguements.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read,
F. Gibbins (Scotland) - See all my reviews
For a topic that could be dry this book was a great read. Flowing text that explained the ideas well. Would recommend to others
4.0 out of 5 stars Is n't nature amazing,
I'm more of a visual person and like lots of pictures in my 'interest' books. However although I've not finished reading it I find it a fascinating read. It was an impulse purchase and being cheap I bought it. It's given me some interesting ideas for my art work, (and I don't mind it's mainly text)
4.0 out of 5 stars Built by Animals,
This review is from: Built by Animals: The natural history of animal architecture (Kindle Edition)
I've not finished it yet but so far it's great! I have held back on the last star because I feel some of the data is a bit complex for the layman. I told my l grandchildren, of 3 1/2 and 7, about the oikopleura house and they were rivetted
5.0 out of 5 stars especially as we have seen some of the beautiful nests made by birds in other countries,
This review is from: Built by Animals: The natural history of animal architecture (Paperback)
A very interesting book, especially as we have seen some of the beautiful nests made by birds in other countries.

In a small, genetically isolated region it is not uncommon for the locals to have three arms. The third arm is generally a second right arm that is a good bit weaker than a normal arm and is generally held against the chest. This hird arm is most often used to carry small things, though some of the more skilled craftsmen have learned little tricks with their third arm.

The Jay Carney dodge-o-meter: Over 9,400 non-answers and counting
**Written by Doug Powers
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a question." – Patches O'Houlihan, life coach to Jay Carney
Somebody apparently had the unenviable task of watching all the press conferences Jay Carney has held since becoming President Obama's media goalie and adding up the hem-haws. The result of the study? Carney has dodged over 9,400 questions — far fewer than I would have guessed:
A Yahoo News analysis of the 444 briefings that Carney has held since becoming White House press secretary has identified 13 distinct strains in the way he dodges a reporter's question. Since Carney held his first daily briefing with reporters in the White House Brady Press Briefing Room on Feb. 16, 2011, for example, he's used some variation of "I don't have the answer" more than 1,900 times. In 1,383 cases he referred a question to someone else. But will he at least speculate on hypotheticals? No. In fact, he has refused to do so 525 times.
Here's the full count, according to Yahoo:
…and a partridge in a pear tree (which refers all questions to the two turtle doves).

Latest Carbon sink Stories
Today, farming often involves transporting crops long distances so consumers from Maine to California can enjoy Midwest corn, Northwest cherries and other produce when they are out of season locally.
Breeding crops with roots a metre deeper in the ground could lower atmospheric CO2 levels dramatically, with significant environmental benefits.
Decisions by farmers to plant on productive land with little snow enhances the potential for reforestation to counteract global warming, concludes new research from Carnegie's Julia Pongratz and Ken Caldeira.
The Northwest Forest Plan enacted in 1993 was designed to conserve old-growth forests and protect species such as the northern spotted owl, but researchers conclude in a new study that it had another powerful and unintended consequence – increased carbon sequestration on public lands.
The world's forests absorb one-third of the world's greenhouse gases, and could soak up as much as half of annual global carbon emission if deforestation was halted.
As one of the planet's largest single carbon absorbers, the ocean takes up roughly one-third of all human carbon emissions, reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide and its associated global changes.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada Launches North America's Largest Forest Carbon Credit Project To view the Social Media Release, click here: http://smr.newswire.ca/en/nature-conservancy/ncc-darkwoods-carbon VANCOUVER, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), Canada's leading private land conservation organization, announces the largest forest carbon project to date in North America.
Forests in many regions are becoming larger carbon sinks thanks to higher density, US and European researchers say in a new report.
A NASA-led research team has used a variety of NASA satellite data to create the most precise map ever produced depicting the amount and location of carbon stored in Earth's tropical forests.
WASHINGTON, May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A NASA-led research team has used a variety of NASA satellite data to create the most precise map ever produced depicting the amount and location of carbon stored in Earth's tropical forests.

Bearded seals have relatively small heads and prominent whiskers. Males and females are similar in size and appearance. They live in the north Pacific and north Atlantic, usually where there is moving ice and open water less than 150-200 m deep. They typically feed near the bottom of the sea on fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Socially, in a kind of ritualized competition, males gather and vocalize and display to advertise their breeding condition and status, in hopes of attracting receptive females. During the breeding season, the seals produce trill-like calls that last as long as 30 seconds and can carry underwater for distances of 25 km or more. It may be that only males make trill calls: much remains to be learned about bearded seals. Polar bears are their main predator.

The Lincoln County and North Platte Visitor's Center will oversee the distribution of 125,000 rack cards and brochures in Nebraska and surrounding states, touting North Platte to tourists.
Tourism director Lisa Burke explained the annual project Monday to the Lincoln County Commissioners. Burke has appeared before the commissioners with the project for nearly a dozen years.
The brochures are 24-page, full color publications, featuring the Scouts Rest Ranch, Cody Park, the Golden Spike and many other attractions, including all the restaurants and bars in Lincoln County.
The cards and brochures are distributed in Lincoln, Omaha and Kansas City, as well as along tourism routes in Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska, Burke said.
Distribution of the cards and brochures will cost slightly more than $17,000, she said.
The commissioners unanimously approved the program, 3-0.

A domestic subcompact portable unit with one comprehensive replacable cartridge for the purification of drinking water in the super pure form through the use of two stage activated carbon, multilayer mixed-bed demineralization and submicron filtration. The system can be very conveniently installed in the kitchen sink faucet with easy interchange of the combination cartridge to provide drinking water in the purest form free from organics, bacteria, minerals and suspended particles.
1. A water purifying device comprising:
a container having a water inlet and a water outlet, said container being formed for replaceably holding a water filtration cartridge threin;
said water filtration cartridge including four layers of water filtration material disposed within said container such that water from said inlet will pass through each said layer of filtration materials to said outlet;
said layers of filtration materials including, in sequence, a first layer of activated carbon, a second layer of ion exchange resins, a third layer of activated carbon, and a fourth layer of sub-micron filtration material.
2. A water treatment device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a resistivity sensor engaged with said water outlet for indicating the purity of water flowing through said water outlet.
3. A water treatment device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said ion exchange resins include a mixture of anion exchange resins and cation exchange resins.
4. A water treatment device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said ion exchange resins include high capacity mixed bed synthetic resins.
5. A water treatment device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said sub-micron filtration material is nylon.
Water is the universal solvent, pure water is non-existent in nature due to its dissolving properties. The contamination of drinking water has become one of the major environmental issues of the present era. Organics are one of the major source of contaminants in drinking water. They are derived from the decomposition of plants and animals,natural organics, synthetic organics, both industrial and agricultural pollution and the reaction of organics during water treatment. Based upon the data collected fifty different pesticides and six halogenated organic chemicals have been detected in the wells that are one of the prime sources of domestic water supply. The most ubiqitous synthetic organic compounds found in drinking water are the trihalomethane, predominantly chloroform, the by-product of water treatment when chlorine reacts with natural organic materials including aquatic humic material in water. The range of organic compounds in drinking water amounts to hundreds, however most of the organic components in drinking water are non-volatile substances with molecular weights in excess of 1000.
Regarding inorganic contaminants besides the most harmful arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and chromium, the naturally occuring asbestos and selinium have been found in some of the urban water systems. Nitrates formed by oxidation of ammonium ions with microorganisms in water, is one of the most common contaminants in agricultural areas.It is a well establiched fact that a large number of the contaminants in drinking water have harmful health effects. Although carcinogenic effects of some of the contaminants in the water have been established, the long term harmful effects of the wide variety of these contanimants in the drinking water is difficult to comprehend.
A large number of microorganisms also occur as contaminants in the drinking water. The human health implications of microbiological contamination of water are more severe than that of chemical contamination.The aquatic microbiology are diverse and include bacteria, virus, algae, fungi, and protozoa, and their size is an important factor in their treatment and removal.
Another source of contaminants of significant harm to human health are finely divided and suspended particles from soil, silts, sediments colloids and asbestos fibres in drinking water.
In view of the fact that drinking water containing numerous contaminants, the adverse health effects of some of which are known, and majority of them are yet unknown, it is imperative that water for human internal consumtion must undergo purification at the point of use.
The system is a subcompact portable water purification unit that could be installed through the kitchen faucet,that is capable of providing water in the purest form free from organics, minerals, bacteria and suspended particles.
The water in the system is passed through a series of purification beds to eliminate the undesirable constituents present in the water. The complete series of this purification system is to serve as a one composite cartridge capable of being conveniently replaced when approaching exhaustion.
The influent water passes through a bed of activated carbon filter for the removal of organic compounds of health concern, the removal of undesirable taste and odor and to impart improved taste to water. The water then enters a mixed bed of anion and cation exchange resins that remove all of the inorganic compounds replacing the radicals with hydrogen and hydroxyl ions. This results in the production of ultra demineralized water with resistance of over one meg ohm-cm.
The water next passes through another bed of activated carbon. The purpose is to removed the humic substances of the ion exchange resin and any other fouling effect of the demineralization process.
Finally the water is lead through a final submicron filter to filter out all suspended, and colloidal particles present in the water. This ultra fine filter is also capable of removing 99.9 percent of the bacteria present in the water. The filtration process is dependant on the water quality physical characteristics of the particulate and the surface of the filter media.
In the drawings wherein like reference numerals represent like parts.
FIG. 1. is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the water purifying apparatus with water inlet and outlet lines.
FIG. 2. is an internal view of the different cartridge treatment beds and final filter inside the housing.
In accordance with FIG. 1 the embodiment designed for the purification of water is designated as 10. The water purification system comprises a stainless steel housing 12 that contains the composite replaceable cartridge 14. The main housing 12 is connected to the body of the housing joining the first activated charcoal bed 24. The inlet tubing 16 can be conveniently assembled and disassembled without the need of any tool at the time of replacing of the composite cartridge 14. Flow through inlet tubing 16 can be controlled by inlet valve 18, and is measured by flow sensor 20. The top part of the stainless steel housing 12 is connected to a long outlet tubing 22 that serves as an outlet for the purified water to be collected in one gallon plastic bottles commonly used for bottled water. This outlet tubing 22 is fitted with a resistivity sensor unit 30 that indicates degree of purification of water. A light bulb 23 installed in the sensor 30 is lighted so long the degree of purity of water exceeds the specified condition. The outlet tubing 22 can again be conveniently rotated in any position for collection of super pure water and can be conveniently assembled and disassembled without the need of any tool.
The water purification system comprises a composite cartridge 14 consisting of successive purification beds for the removal of contaminants from the water. The inflowing water in the cartridge first passes through a bed of activated carbon 24 which acts as an adsorbent. As the water passes through the activated carbon bed 24, the organic contaminants including odor and taste producing compounds, synthetic industrial/agricultural compounds and disinfection by-products in the water get treated with the activated carbon. In its adsorption with activated carbon, the water is brought in contact with adsorption particles resulting in the adhesion of the gas, vapor or dissolved materials on the surface. All of the organic materials,including natural, synthetic, disinfection by-products and the volatile organics in water, are virtually adsorbed by activated carbon during its passage through the carbon bed.The taste, odor and color producing compounds of natural and industrial origin are readily adsorbed by activated carbon resulting in taste and odor free clear drinking water. Some inorganic materials having adverse health effects including mercury, arsenic, lead and flouride are also removed by adsorption in activated carbon. Again the activated carbon not only dechlorinates the municipal treated water, but also readily adsorbs the principal by-products of chlorinated water of health concern. Viruses in water are also adsorbed in the activated carbon to a great degree depending upon the pH of the water.
The water is then passed through a mixed bed of anion and cation exchange resins 26 contained in the same cartridge. Water after passing through the mixed bed ofsynthetic resins is completely deionized, since all cations have been replaced by hydrogen ions and all anions by hydroxyl ions. The effluent water is virtually free of any mineral contaminants, a quality comparable with distilled water. This mixed-bed exchanger has the advantage of producing water with resistance approximating theoretical perfection and a more balanced and consistent pH ranging between 7.0 to 7.5. Variations in the quality of water entering the exchanger and the variation in the flow rates of water have vitually no effect on the effluent water quality.
The demineralized effluent water from the ion exchange bed then enters the second layer of activated carbon 28. Activated carbon by its very nature has a large affinity for organics which is attributed to its large surface area in the range of 500 to 1500 m/gm. Although the prior activated carbon treatment greatly reduces the chance of organic fouling during the ion exchange treatment process, this second activated carbon bed is utilized to adsorb products of organic fouling if any. This activated carbon treatment would remove amines that may leak into the water from the ion- exchange cartridge. Finally this activated carbon bed serves to completely adsorbs the residual organics, chlorine and chlorination by products if any to provide odorfree,completely clear drinking water of pleasant taste.
The effluent from the second bed 28 of activated carbon filtration is connected through a pipe to the final filtration system 32. Here the sub micron filtration system 32 serves a two-fold purification effect. The micro filtration serves as an important process in the removal of pathogenic organisms and prevention of water-borne diseases. The ability of the submicron filter to remove bacteria from drinking water and reduction of coliform count greatly enhances drinking water quality. The other aspect of the submicron filtration system is its utilization to remove suspended particles, sediments, silts and colloidal particles to the size of one tenth of a millimicron and above. The final filtration system is a disposable nylon media capsule having advantage that it can maintain the water quality irrespective of the inflow quality;as the capsule become older only the flow rate changes.

When I moved out of my studio apartment last week, I wistfully thought of Carrie Bradshaw's move in "Sex and the City." She had moving down right. Plug in the music, pop the champagne and magically everything gets neatly packed and re-moved.
Reality, as we all know, is far messier. There aren't enough boxes, packing material or patience to get the job quickly completed.
Plus, you have to wipe away the evidence that you ever set foot in the old residence.
Theater buffs in Los Alamos and throughout New Mexico have been privileged with multiple opportunities to see Los Alamos playwright Robert Benjamin's work. Now, the privilege is crossing state lines.
The Arizona Jewish Theater Company commissioned Benjamin to write a play and starting March 14 through March 29, Benjamin's play, "Parted Waters," will be performed at the Performing Arts Center at the Paradise Valley Community College in Phoenix, Ariz.
Benjamin explained the production director really liked his work.
It's the same school, but there's something different about Sage Montessori School.
On Jan. 5, the Montessori school, located at Meadow Lane and Rover Boulevard, earned nonprofit status.
Cheri Host, executive director of the school, explained she and Theresa Cull, safety engineer, had wanted to make Sage Montessori a nonprofit shortly after they purchased the school two-and-a-half years ago.
Work to become a nonprofit started in July, Host said. They collaborated with an accountant and a lawyer.
Science writer Mark Wolverton brings sensitivity, insight and convincing research to "A Life in Twilight: the Final Years of J. Robert Oppenheimer." Wolverton will speak at the Bradbury Science Museum at 5 p.m. Thursday and will sign copies of "A Life in Twilight" from 6-7:30 p.m. at Otowi Station.
The book encompasses the last 13 years of J. Robert Oppenheimer's life.
I have discovered a gem in Los Alamos. Tucked between small businesses and houses is the University of New Mexico–Los Alamos. I found a place where the staff and educators work hard to create a unique, welcoming environment
As a mother of three growing children, I am not your typical college student, or so I thought. I researched my options for college and decided to attend UNM-LA for one major reason, the location. The day before my first class at the university, insecurities began to fill my thoughts.

GE Profile being updated - what should I do?
We are in the middle of our reno, and the Appliance guy called me to tell me all the appliances will be delivered next Thursday. Oh, and "great news, I'm getting the newer model of the GE Profile wall oven!" Apparently, the GE Profile PT916 has been discontinued, and is being replaced by the GE Profile PT7050 which he says is much better. (I still don't understand how it's better). I'm annoyed, because I gave the deposit for my appliances months ago, and he didn't order it, so I'm forced into the upgrade. Maybe that sounds silly (he says he's happy I will get the newer one). The problem is that there's an OTR microwave that's going over this wall oven by GE Profile that has not yet been released. GE says it's supposed to be released in September. It's not just the upgrade, it's the entire look that's different. I know everyone mixes and matches appliances (we are too), but the micro directly over the oven should not look totally different, especially since the only reason we picked that micro in the first place was to match.
He said he could deliver everything next week without the micro, and then we will just be incomplete in our reno and install the new micro in September. But what if I don't like it? What if the specs are a little off and it doesn't quite fit? GE won't release any info about the new micro.
The alternative is to get him to track down the older model of the oven to match the current micro. I could prob save some $ by doing this. He said "I'd rather not do that, I want you to have the new model - it's better". Hard to know how true that is. It does have a larger inner capacity without being larger on the outside, and it lists all kinds of new features on AJ Madison that I don't really understand. Plus, is it silly to buy a discontinued product? Will I regret that in the long run? Will it be harder to arrange repairs?
What would you do? So frustrating.
You paid him months ago for a specific item and that is what you should get if it's what you want. If the shoe was on my foot, I'd be upset that he took it upon himself to order a newer model without first seeking out my permission. You probably researched the older model and what you found made you happy which is why you went with it. With the newer model, whose to say that all of the kinks have been worked out? You don't sound pleased that the micro and oven will not be the same style. If you just accept what he's giving you but really aren't happen then you wont be happy 1 year from now, 5 years from now, etc.
Remember, he works for you. You are his boss and if his work is unacceptable then you let him him. Just my 5 cents.

It sounds to me like he's trying to cover his error - he should have ordered the product you specified. If you're curious you could call GE and find out when it was discontinued. That might give you an indication of product availability. There is certainly no guarantee that newer is better and now you don't have the benefit of user reviews.
You're right when you posted that there could be a difference in size too. Our double wall ovens were replaced by the manufacturer when we experienced excessive condensation between the glass on the door. They gave us the newest model but we had to have our cabinets altered to accommodate the 1 1/2 " height difference.
We also recently replaced our built in microwave and while it's the same model and size as the previous one the install specifications were different which required DH to drill 8 new holes in the cabinets.
I disagree with the previous two posters and think your appliance guy is right regarding the wall oven. You chose to buy your appliances months in advance, so in the intervening time the oven was discontinued. How is that HIS error? C'mon.
If you do get the discontinued model, you may have trouble finding parts for it down the road. And perhaps GE discontinued that model because there were a lot of defects. Or perhaps it was discontinued because it was dated and needed a refresh. All the appliance manufacturers like to keep up with the latest technology to be competitive.
As to the OTR MW, the GE models are so common and readily available, I would just buy one online or at HD or Lowes, and get the credit from your appliance guy. The GE OTRs don't look that different from one another.

Actually, this GE OTR micro is totally different. The GE profile has an eyelid shape, the redesign eliminates this. That's my concern.
And he did offer to get me the old ones. I just don't want to regret not getting the newer ones later on down the road.
And then there's also the delay. Be done in 2-3'weeks, or wait till September?
Olivertwist - I went to the GE website and looked up PT 7050. The Ten-Pass is the broil and bake elements that are coiled ten times or make ten turns from edge to edge of the oven. I.e. full coverage. By contrast, there have been complaints on this forum of other brands' ovens having the element covering mostly the center, so that things go uncooked if they are at the edges of the oven. E.g. a large baking pan filled with cookies where the cookies on the outside rows are not cooked at the same time as the cookies in the middle of the pan. GE is saying their Ten-pass elements prevent that.
I think if your appliance guy had not found a replacement oven, you'd be here complaining how he left you with no oven. Much worse outcome than him finding you the newer model. Yet he just can't win.
Also you are overthinking the matchy-ness of the OTR. If you are so concerned that the "eyelid shape" of the OTR doesn't match the non-eyelid shape of the new oven, get a different GE OTR. It doesn't have to be a GE Profile; I saw several OTRs on the GEappliances website that were not GE Profile, just plain "GE", that do not have the eyelid shape and would "match" your new oven. (and frankly I think the eyelid shape is kinda '90's.)
Here is a link that might be useful: PT7050 on GE Appliances Website

Another feature the new model seems to have is third element convection. The benefit of this is that the oven should heat more evenly when full. It is possible that it might decrease the usable depth of the oven a little. The overall oven size is a little bigger but not sure if that is in usable space. You would have to measure the racks to see what the usable depth is. The internal dimensions of the oven may be misleading because they often do not take the convection fan into consideration. Even if it does decrease the depth, as long as you can get your pans in, you should be ok. The inside lighting seems to be a little nicer and you have the option to steam clean the oven. You will also have a little higher wattage on the bake and broil elements. The Profiles that I have baked in have an auto conversion for convection. It is just something to be aware of if you use that feature, it may automatically decrease the temperature.
Thanks Mrs_Nyefnyef and wekick - that's very helpful. I was wondering how they made the inner depth greater and the outside dimensions didn't change, but maybe they did it only to accomodate more fans and stuff.
Looks like we will wait. Oven to be installed this week, micro not until Sept or so. Thanks all.

Just now in the thick of processing a box of donations from the presumably wonderful Sarah Rose, of Tazewell's Favorite Eccentric and other zines. Let me be the first to tell you: this box is full of gems. We now finally have stacks copies (hell yes that means they'll circulate) of a bunch of stuff, and archival copies of way, way more, including an issue of Girl Germs I have never even seen before (and I am getting on in years). I'll post updates to the archives as they're processed, but for now, check out what's new to the stacks:
Márcio Sno, Brazilian documentary film maker recently launched a new documentary, "Last Century Zinesters," in January this year. Check it out on Vimeo at http://vimeo.com/22319370!
This documentary is aimed at showcasing Brazilian zine-making before the advent of computers and the internet. "Last Century Zinesters" includes interviews with 21 zine creators that worked in the days of typewriters and cut and paste. You can expect to enjoy the '80s and '90s flashbacks that this film provides, and get an in-depth look at the people behind the pages.
First: the background. I am a blogger for Refuse the Silence, an organization headed by the great Morgane Richardson and the people that hosted this event. And, because I am a huge nerd, I got giddy at the idea of seeing some of my favorite bloggers speak at this event about something I really care about: race in the feminist movement.
(The picture is of me and Latoya Peterson (editor of Racialicious) after the event! Don't we look chilled out?)
This is a great opportunity to share your zine with a very different group of people than the Barnard crowd - and it can throw you back to your Bookmobile days! Submit your zine to the Anchorless Archive Zinemobile operating in Nova Scotia. Read on for more information!
Wallflower started out as a Geocities webzine, whatever "webzine" meant to the author, Kristina Aikens, in 1997. Check out the Wayback Machine's capture of Kristina's site. Ah, youth (the World Wide Web's, that is)!
Since there are no comments allowed on this blog or anywhere on the Barnard website, I posted on LiveJournal so I could get your feedback on a proposed collection development policy change.
I'm working my way through our cataloging backlog, which I hope to finish by the end of the semester. This weekend, I'm tackling zines starting with the letter U. Much can be gleaned about girl and feminist culture from zines, even from just their titles, so I thought I'd list the titles of the U zines I'm working on. For your delectation and edification:
Barnard's Zine Librarian joins Sara Marcus (Girls to the Front: the True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution) and Alison Piepmeier (Girl Zines: Making Media, Doing Feminism) at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh to talk about zines and feminism.

5 Things People Did at Morton's, Besides Eat and Gossip
This story first appeared in the Sept. 28 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
One of the most historic was Eddie Murphy's $15 million, five-picture deal — catapulting the actor to the top of the industry food chain — with Paramount's then-head of production Michael Eisner in 1987.
PHOTOS: Inside Vanity Fair's Annual Oscar Party at Morton's
Part of Morton's lore is that it was the site of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's first date (she was 45 minutes late) and where Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche fell in love at first sight (at the 1997 Vanity Fair Oscar party, one month before DeGeneres came out).
Whether getting a new job, a new deal or a new company, Morton's was the place to be seen and celebrate. Case in point: It was Larry Tisch's obligatory stop as the new president and CEO of CBS in 1986.
Or attempt to. After Allan Carr's disastrously produced Oscars show in 1989 featuring Snow White and Rob Lowe, he strode into Morton's with bravado, but unfortunately, he was shunned. Some diners turned away from his table and some extended their lunches, hoping the producer would leave first. As former Hollywood Reporter columnist Robert Osborne recalled in Robert Hofler's Carr biography Party Animals: "No one wanted to talk to Allan Carr. I hadn't previously seen that so dramatically displayed by so many people in Hollywood as that day at Morton's — like they'd catch something, like it was a disease."
STORY: An Oral History of Morton's: 'New Hollywood Needed to Be Cool And Eat Well'
In 1996, the memorial for Don Simpson — the larger-thanlife producing partner of Jerry Bruckheimer — was among the most coveted invitation-only events at the restaurant that year. Barry Diller, Michelle Pfeiffer, Will Smith and Warren Beatty were among those who packed in to honor Simpson, who died of a drug overdose.

Exclusive: This weekend, Occupy protesters are targeting the Bohemian Grove in California, where well-connected rich men go on retreats several weekends each summer. The secrecy of the 1980 encampment became a factor in the cover-up of possible "treason" by Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, writes Robert Parry.
Right Wing
Mitt Romney: The New Teflon Man
Exclusive: Mitt Romney is fast becoming the new Teflon man. Whenever he faces criticism for his past business practices, "independent fact-checkers" rush to his rescue and insist that he's been wronged, regardless of what the evidence actually is, Robert Parry notes.
The Second-Half Fund Drive
From Editor Robert Parry: What happens in the United States over the next few months will have a profound impact on the future of American democracy and the world. So, it is vitally important that Consortiumnews.com has the resources to continue illuminating the dark corners of U.S. politics.
Seeking Failure in Iran Nuke Talks
America's influential neocons cite the lack of progress in Iranian nuclear talks as reason for more sanctions and more threats, but the real problem is the West's unwillingness to reward Iran's concessions with meaningful relaxation of sanctions and threats, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
The 'America-Held-Hostage' Narrative
Exclusive: From the moment Barack Obama took office, the Republicans plotted to sabotage his presidency, even though the nation faced its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The U.S. news media knows that, but can't resist blaming the President for the high unemployment, reports Robert Parry.
The Battle over the Constitution
Claiming to speak for the Constitution, the Right has convinced many Americans of an upside-down account of what the Framers were doing – and timid historians have let these false impressions harden into conventional wisdom. Beverly Bandler says a vigorous and honest debate about this history is needed now.
The Mystery of Arafat's Death
Exclusive: In 2004, when Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat suddenly fell ill and died, suspicions swirled that he might have been poisoned, but no autopsy was performed. Now, nearly eight years later, his death is getting new scrutiny, though ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern doubts a complete answer will ever be found.
Higgs Boson/Nature's Bosom/US Bozos
The announcement that scientists may have discovered a mysterious particle, called the Higgs boson giving mass to all matter, was a reminder of the majesty of the universe. But it comes at a time of a dumbed-down culture in America that is inflicting devastation on the planet, as Phil Rockstroh observes.
The Silence on Global Warming
Exclusive: Harrowing predictions of climate scientists are coming true, as glaciers melt, forests burn, heat waves proliferate and freakish weather strikes in unexpected places. But the propagandists of global-warming denial have succeeded in silencing most politicians and the mainstream press, writes Robert Parry.
Seeking Rules for the World's Guns
A United Nations conference is looking at ways to reduce global instability by regulating the international flow of guns and other conventional weapons. But the talks face the usual obstacles, including political resistance in the United States to any constraints on the gun trade, ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar writes.
