DIY: How to Make an Inexpensive Ice Pack
My mom and I have both recently had surgeries that have required the use of ice packs. What I found is that sometimes you only need a small pack, especially if you need it for your face, hand, neck etc. You want it to be malleable too. It's hard to find small ones in the stores, but you can make your own.

43 year old man | Hermosa Beach, CA, USA | Seeking women 28-42 within 15 miles of El Nido, CA
Creating the possibility that there is someone to share my life with when we both have the space to commit to one another.
Apparently this is where one brags about how great they are. Check off the usual list of "guy activities", family, sports, food, work... My daughter is right now the number one woman in my life and doing what I can to ensure that she understands that what her Mom and I are going through is not her fault. You will not get the pleasure of meeting her unless we get "serious", but I will share her with you. I want to create the possibility that whatever we bring in is our past and it will not cloud our futures, whether that winds up being one we share intimately or just in a friendly manner. Myhistory of geography: I grew up near Boston, spent a summer living with a family in Finland, escaped to western Mass for an undergrad degree, worked in college athletics a bit, after 26 years in New England moved to New Orleans to get an MBA. Spent a month backpacking through Europe before heading to NOLA. Decided after graduating to hang in NOLA for three years because it seemed the thing to do. Have done Mardi Gras (rode on floats), Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest, crawfish boils, fried turkey, turduckin... Decided to move to LA on a whim and live near the beach. I currently live and work in the South Bay, am President of the LA alumni club for my undergrad, work out 5 times per week and spend time with my daughter. Currently choosing to live life without expectations, declaring what is possible and living with the unexpected circumstances that arise in living powerfully. It is incredible the freedom that this has given me as life is now showing up asa game n which I get to make the rules that defies predictable. It is a daily challenge to do this, but definitely want someone open to creating a life of possibilities with me. What do I want? Someone with the same attitude I once again have toward life: It is what you make of it. How will that show up? I do not know, it will be created through our mutual creativity in life.
Alumni connections , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Watching sports

Cooking a meal that turns your taste buds on and makes you crave it again, hanging at the beach, matching wits, people watching, cheering sports teams, reading while listening to good music
Time with my daughter. Gym, poker, BBQ, cook, watch football, Cribbage, backgammon, cards, basketball, read. Laugh at the stupid things done in life, whether by myself or others.

You are correct.
If you read the article closely, you will notice it is not about the productions systems, but the testing systems of the Quality Assurance Division.
It makes sense to use VM's for Q & A just for flexibility. If your production storage is about a few hunderd PB, 100 TB for testing seems obvious. When you run production on the scale of eBay, Doing Q & A work on just a server or 2 doesn't work out.
I suspect they need 4000 VM's for Q & A, for more than just simulating the production system. For instance they are likely to test on multiple EBay instances for multiple projects or versions of their own software. They might also need a lot of systems to test data replication. And of course they need to simulate a lot of simultaneous clients for performance and reliability test, you need systems for that too. When Q & A work is done on that scale you need to collect, store, and analyze huge amounts of testing data.
Of course when this works out fine, eventually the production storage will likely be equipped with SSD technology as well.

It works great. With the added booster pump that has been giving me 85psi, the 150 kit has been more than cutting my waist water in half. For each gallon of good water I only produce 1.5 gal of bad. Love it and I would buy it again. Great water saver By Dao on 9/30/2012 Dao would recommend this product to a friend Added this to my 90GPD 5 stages RODI system. Loved it. Still produces 0 TDS water but much much faster and less less waste. Great buys. Excellent add on By Jeff on 9/20/2012 Jeff would recommend this product to a friend Well worth the price to double your water capacity as well as reduce the waste water. Very easy to hook up. Great Investment By Robert on 9/19/2012 Robert would recommend this product to a friend I have the 75 GPD RODI system, was putting out too much waste water. I added the 150 GPD water saver kit and it has cut down on the waste water. It runs about 1:1 ratio. I can fill a 5 gallon jug in about 55 minutes. Great Add on By Christopher on 9/1/2012 Christopher would recommend this product to a friend I added the water saver upgraded after already owning and running a 6 stage chloramine ro/di unit. My water is not the ratio of waste to ro/di water was ridiculous. I added this and now im able to make water a lot faster and my waste water is a lot less. This add-on was easy to install and has increase production without hindering water quality. Awesomeness..... By Andrew on 8/23/2012 Andrew would recommend this product to a friend Just got the upgrade kit and installed it following the easy instructions from the video. This is a must have upgrade that will save you time and money. Great Addon By Fernis on 8/23/2012 Fernis would recommend this product to a friend This a great addition your a RO/DI system to help produce more water and also produce less waster water which is always nice. It is recommend to have at least 65Ppsi for it to operate optimally. must have By Joe on 8/22/2012 Joe would recommend this product to a friend This kit doubles your RO/DI output, while cutting your waste in half. So you make twice the water in the same time you did previously AND dump less down the drain... all for a reasonable price. What's not to like? Being nice to the earth (and your water bill) and cutting the time it takes to make purified water... sounds like a win win situation to me. Oh and there's a handy video on the product page showing how to hook it up. Beautiful. If you are getting a new RO/DI unit, get it pre-installed. If you already have one, buy this to up your output and halve your waste - it's good earth saving karma. awesome upgrade By Brian on 7/19/2012 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Just got mine today and set it up with a second container and the water is flowing fast definately worth the investment.

By moore1811 on 5/24/2012 moore1811 would recommend this product to a friend and I got it! I'm not patient enough for the 75gpd, so I opted for the 150gpd upgrade for that reason and also to reduce the amount of waste water. My production has doubled and my waste water halved. Install was easy with the provided video above. Highly recommended! A Must If Trying to Save Wastewater!!! By Lorenzo on 5/16/2012 Lorenzo would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this unit a week after buying the RO/DI Delux System. Once I confirmed I had over 65psi water line pressure, I bought the upgrade. My results are 1 gallon of RO/DI water for 1 gallon wastewater. This is one of the best ratios on the market with the lowest price. My water line pressure fluctuates between 65 psi and 75psi. Water production time is also cut in half. Everithing needed for the upgrade was included with the kit and the installation video available on this site made it super simple to install with no special tools needed.

This event is a very exciting step in the direction of developing a TDM for McMaster (Transportation Demand Management plan) that initiated with TLC just over two years ago.
Lots happened behind the scenes to bring us to this point. Please participate and help McMaster manage transportation for the future so as to make efficient use of non-automotive modes like cycling, bike share, walking, car-pooling, and car sharing.
Reducing parking demand at McMaster opens up space for alternative uses: see Restore Cootes for a great example.

Lost on Longwood?
Councillor Brian McHattie,
City of Hamilton
RE: Longwood Road Environmental Project Report Notice of Project Completion
Dear Councillor McHattie,
I am writing on behalf of Transportation for Liveable Communities (TLC) to voice our extreme dissatisfaction with the notice of completion for the Longwood Road environmental project report.
The City of Hamilton has a unique opportunity to seize on McMaster University's expansion into Longwood Road and the potential to attract numerous young professionals who can further invigorate the Kirkendall neighborhood. Such young professional have made it loud and clear that they seek to live and work in lively communities where they can walk and bike.
Despite the assertion in the city report, there are no solid MTO plans in the near future that involve widening highway 403, according to the MTO's "Southern Highways Program 2012 to 2016." Planning for such a project would not even begin until after 2016.
Disappointedly, the city's plan for Longwood Road uses future highway widening as reason to create a people-hostile 5-lane highway on Longwood, with inappropriate accommodation of pedestrian and cyclists. Moreover, the plan effectively is to do nothing in the foreseeable future despite latent demand which requires immediate accommodation of safe pedestrian and cyclist routes.
Our vision for Longwood Road is simple, sensible and feasible: wide sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides of the road, from its start at Princess Point in the north to its terminus at similar people-friendly facilities on Aberdeen Ave. Only such a plan would accommodate the people who wish to live and work in Kirkendall and the McMaster Innovation Park. In our vision, we could readily travel by foot and bike between the Innovation Park and neighborhood destinations at all directions, including Westdale and McMaster University.
We find it absurd that, even though the motivation for the Longwood Road environmental project was "a need for enhanced pedestrian and bicycle access and improved safety along the existing corridor" (quotation taken from the project Problem and Opportunity Statement), it has resulted in a backward conclusion reflecting mid-Twentieth Century car-centric thinking that fails to adequately address the Problem and Opportunity statement.
Giving that the notice of completion makes it clear that we have been blocked from appealing with a part II order, TLC intends to take other available democratic actions to advance the local cause of sustainable transportation. Such actions will include wide broadcasting of the fact that plans for the major transportation corridor to the McMaster Innovation Park are anything but innovative. We hope to find allies in the McMaster community including McMaster Innovation Park so that the best interests of this new facility are served by a multi-modal transportation network.
Sincerely yours,
Randy Kay
Dr. Patrick Deane, President, McMaster University
Mr. Zach Douglas, President and CEO, McMaster Innovation Park
TLC is a citizen-powered advocacy group formed in 2000 that seeks to improve conditions and infrastructure that supports and actively encourages healthy and sustainable transportation modes, including walking, transit, cycling and car pooling.

1995 Geo Prizm Q&A
1995 Geo Prizm Question: No spark
Car over heated & now has no spark. I have replaced the cap & rotor, plugs & distributor but can't get any spark. - jpeb
2 Answers
Answer 1
Your car could have a 1.6 or 1.8L engine. Cranking over the engine does the rotor rotate (ie does the cam shaft turn timing belt in tact ect....). With the ignition key on you should have power at the Black / Orange wire at the distributor, with that electrical connector disconnected from the distributor. Plug it in this powers the positive side of the ignition coil and the ignitor assembly within the distributor. The ignitor assembly grounds the ignition coil at a frequency to saturate and trigger the ignition coil. The coils fail relatively often. If the rotor itself melted was the distributor seizing up, this was a common problem on older Hondas. - patrick mannion
Answer 2
change the crankshaft position sensor located by the bottom pully. You'll have to pull off the front passenger tire remove the plastic shrouding. Its right next to the oil dip stick tube . When this sensor goes bad and they do you will not get any spark to your distributor. For this car Geo Prizm 1995 1.8, it cost around 85.00. Careful when you pull the old one that it does not come disconnected from the wire housing, you'll have a heck of time getting it out. There is no room to work. - 4fermin

" Brand: Rado / Watch for: Women "
I've owned this watch for about 12 years. As I'm a "techie" I just love the futuristic styling. More so as I'm pretty heavy-handed with my belongings, this is almost indestructible!
Although sold as a woman's watch I wear it regularly and it looks great on a man's wrist too.
The sapphire crystal glass is scratch-proof, I've even accidentally scraped it against a brick wall with no discernible marking. I love the fact the bracelet is made from the same material as the space shuttle tiles, again I've never had a scratch on it all this time.
It is one of those watches that people don't initially notice but when they do are always very taken with it.
Timekeeping is never a problem and batteries can usually be changed cheaply at a local jeweller. The only caveat to that is if you want to keep the waterproofing it generally has to go back to Rado for a service. I've just had mine serviced and battery replaced. It's not cheap, it cost £120 for the service, £30 for the battery and water-proofing. And I didn't even go to Rado for that! However due a very poor experience and being without my watch for 3 months, I'd recommend doing what I will in future, which is pay the premium and always go to Rado for service.
I can't really comment on the price, as I bought mine abroad for a substantial reduction. All I can say is the watch will last a lifetime, so divide the cost by how many years you expect to own it and you'll see you've got a tremendous bargain.

ALABAMA WON: It was in many ways the Tide's unprettiest win of the year, one marked by much of the same questionable quarterbacking, kicking woes, and missed opportunities that plagued them against LSU. But when you have the Trent Richardson-Eddie Lacy tag team at running back and a defense that holds your opponent to just 131 total yards, it takes a lot more unpretty than that to drop one against Mississippi State. Richardson and Lacy combined for 223 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
WHY ALABAMA WON: As good as Richardson and Lacy were, this win wasn't much about the Tide offense; by going an even-quieter-than-the-numbers-sugge
st 14-of-24 for 163 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception, AJ McCarron reduced the Tide offense to one dimension for much of the night. (One very, very good dimension, but still.) Two more missed field goals (one a makeable 31-yarder that Jeremy Shelley usually converts without much drama) put an even bigger onus on the Tide defense to come up big.
Which they did, of course. The numbers tell most of the tale -- those 131 total yards for the Bulldogs, the 12 rushing yards given up on 29 carries, the 4 yards allowed per Mississippi State passing attempt -- but they don't quite explain how well the Tide stiffened the few times the offense put them in a bad position ... for instance, when McCarron's inexplicable second-quarter interception set MSU up at the Tide 4. First down: blanketed receiver, incomplete. Second: Vick Ballard rush, loss of 3. Third: under-pressure incompletion. And then, just to make the Tide defense feel really good about itself, the missed chip shot field goal on fourth. Spread that kind of domination out over four quarters, and it seems somewhat strange State even got on the board.
WHEN ALABAMA WON: The Tide took over on their own 27 up 17-7 in the fourth quarter with 6:26 remaining, and we suppose weirder things have happened than teams -- even great teams like Alabama -- losing in that situation. Nothing weirder has ever happened, though, than a hypothetical State win once the Tide plowed downfield for an 11-play, 73-yard touchdown drive -- every inch of it coming on the ground via Richardson and Lacy -- that took up all but the final 78 seconds.
WHAT ALABAMA WON: Nothing where the SEC West is concerned, but thanks to Oregon (and TCU, to a lesser extent), the Tide finished the day in better shape for a second shot at LSU than ever. Ugly win in Starkville or not, they'll take it.
WHAT MISSISSIPPI STATE LOST: a shot at bowl eligibility, technically speaking, and we're not sure the Bulldogs are going to get it at Arkansas next week, either. But with Ole Miss coming in two weeks and apparently having given up on the season for good, a competitive loss to a potential national champion isn't the worst thing in the world.

Ireland beaten by South Africa after letting lead slip at Aviva Stadium
Last Updated: 11/11/12 8:16am
Ruan Pienaar scored the only try of the match for the Springboks
A second-half fightback from South Africa saw them claim a hard-fought 16-12 win against Ireland at Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
In a match which lacked any real attacking flair, the injury-hit hosts led 12-3 at half-time but the Springboks turned the tables by improving significantly after the break.
Ulster scrum-half Ruan Pienaar scored the only try of the match and Pat Lambie added three penalties and a conversion, with Jonathan Sexton kicking four penalties for Ireland.
Sexton gave an early lead to the hosts, who were playing in black with the Springboks kitted out in their familiar green, as he slotted over a penalty on six minutes.
He then added to his tally with two long-range efforts, the first of which was from near the halfway line, while South Africa fly-half Lambie scored a penalty of his own in between.
Another Sexton penalty made it 12-3 and the Springboks' frustration boiled over at the restart when wing JP Pietersen was sin-binned for taking out Chris Henry before the ball had reached him.
At the start of the second half the hosts also went a man down as skipper Jamie Heaslip was yellow carded after persistent infringements and Pienaar capitalised by nipping in from close range for the first try of the night.
South Africa edged ahead for the first time when Lambie slotted over his second penalty in the 53rd minute as the southern hemisphere side began to take control of the contest.
Lambie added another penalty to increase the lead to four points, with Ireland unable to threaten the try-line in the closing stages.
Sexton started his day by converting four kicks from four attempts but missed for the first time just before half-time and was off-target again during the second half.

CRIME REPORT: Police seek help investigating fatal January shooting in Hickory Hill
Memphis police are seeking help in their investigation of a fatal January shooting at a Hickory Hill apartment complex.
Albert Spencer Jr., 20, died after being shot Jan. 12 in the 600 block of Squire Court in the Bella Vista Apartments. Another 20-year-old man was also shot and critically injured. Police believe the two were involved in an argument with a group of men, and that Spencer was an unintended target in the incident.
Several people were in the area during the shooting, but clear descriptions of the gunmen have not developed, police said. No arrests had been made Thursday morning.
Police called the homicide "senseless," and have asked for anyone with information on the incident to call CrimeStoppers at 528-CASH.
An investigation is ongoing.
Suspect charged in shooting outside North Memphis convenience store
A suspect has been charged in a shooting outside a North Memphis convenience store Monday.
An employee of Hollywood Food Mart at Hollywood and Staten went outside the business about 10:20 a.m. and entered his car, according to a police affidavit. Two armed men approached and allegedly tried to rob him. A struggle ensued, and the employee was shot several times.
He was taken to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis in critical condition, and remained hospitalized Thursday morning, police reported.
The employee identified one of the gunmen in a police photo lineup, according to the affidavit.
Royce Newsome, 20, was arrested Wednesday and charged with especially aggravated robbery.
His bond was set at $250,000.
The other suspect in the incident had not been arrested Thursday morning.

Justice Noah Swayne's copy of Giles Jacob's New Law Dictionary (1782).
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Noah H. Swayne (1804–1884) served on the Court from 1862 to 1881. Appointed by President Abraham Lincoln, Swayne spent much of his time lobbying to be appointed Chief Justice. His judicial career has been called (in the American National Biography) a "monument to mediocrity."
The endpapers give clues to the book's previous owners before I acquired it around 2004. The original owner seems to have been John Buckland, a cleric who received degrees from Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1762, 1765, 1769, and 1778. Buckland died in 1837 in Warborough, Oxfordshire. Later the book became the property of Justice Swayne, who in 1872 miscited it in a Supreme Court opinion, Lapeyre v. U.S., first acknowledging that "it could serve no useful end particularly to refer to [it]," and then referring to it incorrectly as "Jacobs's" Law Dictionary.) The next known owner was the legal historian Samuel E. Thorne, Professor of Law and Law Librarian at Yale (from 1945) and then law professor at Harvard (from 1956). Thorne died in 1994 at the age of 87. Note that his red bookplate uses the Old English character known as the "thorn."

"Built by Association: Books Once Owned by Notable Judges and Lawyers, from Bryan A. Garner's Collection", an exhibit curated by Bryan A. Garner with Mike Widener, is on display until December 16, 2013 in the Rare Book Exhibition Gallery, Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale Law School.
Justice Benjamin Cardozo's signed copy of his book What Medicine Can Do for Law (1930).
Benjamin N. Cardozo (1870-1938) followed in his father's footsteps as an attorney and New York judge. By the time he took the bench on the New York Court of Appeals in 1914, he had had 23 years of trial and appellate experience in New York City. During his 18 years on that court, he wrote over 500 opinions including, most notably, Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad (1928). In 1932, President Herbert Hoover nominated Cardozo to replace Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes on the U.S. Supreme Court.
In addition to writing his most influential Supreme Court opinions on New Deal legislation—Helvering v. Davis (1937) and Steward Machine Co. v. Davis (1937)—Cardozo also authored The Nature of the Judicial Process (1921) and The Growth of Law (1924). These works originated as lectures he gave at Yale Law School. He tried to explain how judges reach decisions, while emphasizing that judges do not make law.
An interesting fact about Justice Cardozo's book What Medicine Can Do for Law is that no one I know has ever seen an unsigned copy. This one is no exception.
If you collect enough of anything—in my case, it's 36,000 books—you inevitably acquire some especially unusual and prized specimens. Tracing the provenance of books can be fascinating when the previous owners were people of note. With enough diligent searching, you can find association copies such as these: books inscribed by authors, or uninscribed books that simply belonged to grandees, or—if you're really lucky—books both inscribed by authors and given to grandees.
This exhibit displays all three types. Early inscriptions, interestingly, are typically "With the compliments of the Author," or some such notation, without signature. Not until the late 19th century did most authors sign their names. Some authorial signatures bespeak modesty (Holmes, J.); others proclaim flamboyance (Wigmore). All are distinctive.
Occasionally a mystery emerges. How did Clarence Darrow know the tragic Pearl Ball? Why did somebody black out the name of the recipient of Yale law professor Fred Rodell's book—someone whom Rodell called his "favorite statesman"? How did books once belonging to the likes of Chief Justice John Jay and Judge Learned Hand end up in the stream of commerce?
Occasionally book collectors apologetically ask me to sign one of my books. I always reassure them that I do the same thing—not to worry. I treasure my books inscribed by my mentor, the late Charles Alan Wright; by my coauthor, Justice Scalia; by Sir Robert Megarry, whose last book I finished and edited just after his 96th birthday; and by many other legal dignitaries. It enhances one's lifelong connection to the book.
Even if you're merely the temporary caretaker of books, as I am of those here on display, you inevitably feel some sort of ineffable connection with the signatory who handled the book at least long enough to sign it or paste in his bookplate—and may, indeed, have pored over it and savored every precious word.
"Association copies," books once owned by their authors or other well-known individuals, have long been sought after by collectors. An outstanding private collection of books associated with famous judges and lawyers is now on display at the Lillian Goldman Law Library.
"Built by Association: Books Once Owned by Notable Judges and Lawyers," features books from the collection of Bryan A. Garner, the world's leading legal lexicographer. They include books inscribed by John Jay, the first chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and Clarence Darrow, the most famous trial lawyer in American history. Other notable figures include Supreme Court Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and Benjamin Cardozo, and Lindley Murray, a lawyer best known as "the father of English grammar." Three of the authors taught at Yale Law School: Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, Judge Jerome Frank, and the iconoclastic Professor Fred Rodell.
Bryan A. Garner has been editor in chief of Black's Law Dictionary since 1996. He has authored many other standard reference works in legal lexicography and legal writing, including Garner's Dictionary of Legal Usage (3rd ed. 2011), The Elements of Legal Style (2nd ed. 2002), and The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style (3rd ed. 2013). He is the co-author with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia of Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges (2008) and Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts (2012). Garner is also the author of Garner's Modern American Usage (3rd ed. 2009), published by Oxford University Press. Garner is the owner of LawProse, which conducts seminars in legal writing around the world. He is also Distinguished Research Professor of Law at Southern Methodist University. His personal book collection has over 35,000 volumes.
Garner curated the exhibit, with assistance from Mike Widener, Rare Book Librarian.
The exhibit is open to the public, 9am-10pm daily, September 23 - December 18, 2013 in the Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale Law School.

On Friday (Sept. 13), the library of the Stephan Kuttner Institute of Medieval Canon Law arrived at its new home in the Lillian Goldman Law Library. This weekend it is being installed in the Law Library's Upper East Side, next to the fish tank.
This outstanding collection of research materials draws scholars from around the world. It contains over 2,000 monographs and 15,000 offprints from the private library of Stephan Kuttner, the Institute's founder and one of the 20th century's most influential scholars of medieval law, as well as microfilms of approximately 670 medieval manuscripts.
This is the second time the Institute and its collection have resided at Yale. Kuttner founded the Institute of Medieval Canon Law in 1955 at Catholic University of America. In 1964 Kuttner and the Institute moved to Yale, and its library was housed in the Sterling Memorial Library. In 1970 the Institute moved to the Robbins Collection, University of California-Berkeley. When Kuttner died in 1996, the Institute was renamed the Stephan Kuttner Institute of Medieval Canon Law in honor of its late founder, and it moved to its most recent home at the University of Munich.
The Institute's library will remain in the Lillian Goldman Law Library for the next 25 years, with an option to renew the arrangement. The materials will not circulate but must be used in the Law Library.
Plans are being made to add records for the Institute's library to the Law Library's online catalog, MORRIS. In the meantime, researchers can use the library's existing online catalog for monographs and microfilms, and a database for the offprint collection.
Thanks to the Kuttner Institute's president, Professor Peter Landau of the University of Munich, and its Secretary Anders Winroth, the Forst Family Professor of History here at Yale University, for making this move possible. thanks to all my Law Library colleagues who helped with the move: Law Library Director Blair Kauffman, Teresa Miguel-Stearns, Fred Shapiro, Julian Aiken, Cesar Zapata, Susan Karpuk, Ryan Greenwood, Ben Bernard, Antonio Malabag, Liliane McClenning, and Shana Jackson.
Professor Anders Winroth helps unpack the library of the Stephan Kuttner Institute of Medieval Canon Law.
The Lillian Goldman Law Library is delighted to welcome Ryan Greenwood as its first Yale Law Library Rare Book Fellow. Ryan has a Master's in Library & Information Science from Rutgers University, and a Ph.D. and M.A. in Medieval Studies from the University of Toronto. He has two articles accepted for publication: "Just War and Crusade" (with Frederick H. Russell), forthcoming in The Cambridge History of Medieval Canon Law (2013), and "War and Sovereignty in Medieval Roman Law," forthcoming in Law and History Review. He was chosen as the 2013-2014 Rare Book Fellow from a highly competitive pool of close to a hundred applicants.
The Yale Law Library Rare Book Fellowship is designed to train the next generation of rare law book librarians. For the next nine months, Ryan will be immersed in all aspects of special collections librarianship in a research law library, including collection development, reference, cataloging, and preservation. He will also spend time working in the Yale University Library's Manuscripts & Archives, and in the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
The Yale Law Library Rare Fellowship is supported in part by a contribution from the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
Selection for the 2014-2015 Rare Book Fellow will take place in Spring 2014. Stay tuned for the announcement.

While this blog was on hiatus this summer, news spread of the Lillian Goldman Law Library's most significant rare book acquisition this year, and one of its most significant ever. I am referring to Anthony Taussig's collection of English law books and manuscripts. See the June 16 article in the New York Times, "English Gavels Resound in a Trove Headed to Yale," as well as an article in the Yale Law Report and news releases issued by the Yale Law School and the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
Anthony Taussig is a retired barrister of Lincoln's Inn. He began collecting rare law books and manuscripts 35 years ago, and succeeded in forming the one of the finest collections of its kind ever built. While the collection has many outstanding high spots, what is most impressive is its breadth and depth in materials relating to the history of law practice in England, and its research value.
Taussig's entire manuscript collection went next door to our colleagues at the Beinecke. The Law Library acquired 211 of Taussig's printed books, which is only a small fraction of his collection. Their purchase was funded in large part by a generous grant from the Yale Law School's Oscar M. Ruebhausen Fund.
The news media's attention has gone to the high spots. The Abbreviamentum statutorum (ca. 1481), possibly the first printed book of English law, was the subject of a video essay, "The Sound of One Book Clapping," by Mark Weiner on his Worlds of Law blog. The boke of iustyces of peas (1506) was the first printed J.P. manual; and The lawes resolutions of womens rights (1632) was the first English book on women's rights.
Equal in significance, however, are the substantial additions in a number of fields. These include 52 titles relating to law reform, including the titles shown below; 27 titles on commercial law; and 18 titles on English bankruptcy. Our William Blackstone Collection, already the most comprehensive in the world, was strengthened with another 24 titles by and about Blackstone. In addition, we acquired 22 titles by William Sheppard, one of the most prolific legal authors of the 17th century, and 27 by Giles Jacob, the most prolific legal author of the 18th century. There were twelve titles by William Lambarde and seven by Michael Dalton. Eleven of the titles are by or relating to Granville Sharp, the founder of the British abolition movement. Mark Weiner looked at one of the Granville Sharp items in a video essay, "Sharp's Numbers," on his Worlds of Law blog.
In future posts we will look at these acquisitions in more detail. An exhibit and public program is also being planned. Stay tuned …

It was the Monday at the start of our three-week spring break, and I had to play mom the whole day.

You know, I forgot about the telekinetic stuff from the beginning, so that when Emily Blunt ran into her safe when the kid began having his freak out I was all "what the hell?" Then later on, when we find out she's telekinetic I was all, "oh right, there are telekinetic characters in this movie. The kid must have some sort of uber telekinetic abilities."
The telekinetic stuff was far too subtle. So much so that I forgot about it when it became relevant to the plot and it ended up seeming like something out of left field when it is in fact a logical plot development.
