There has to be more about why you feel your needs are not as important as his adult children. He should let his adult children be adults but he should be a good father by being there when they need him. Adults still need their parents even when they are grown and have kids themselves. You need to examine your own heart for jealousy and control issues and you'll probably find your answer.
As for the sex when you are sick actually sex is very helpful for those headaches because sex releases chemicals that can heal you and relax you. You just have to want to enjoy the experience. You probably have a negative mind set before it even begins and that is keeping you from enjoying it. If sex is unsatisfying then try what I did, masturbate in front of him right after he is finished. Work on a huge orgasm right in front of him. He may just get hard all over again. Tell him in loving ways what you would like for him to do to you. During sex do not be afraid to change the position yourself, tell him you want it harder or deeper or longer or tell him don't stop when you're close. Men like orders during sex cause it tells them how to be better. Take more control in sex and it will change your sex life forever.

Why did you marry him? Sounds like you are a little insecure around his kids.....then again he sounds like a complete @sshole.
It's time you make him listen, give him an ultimatum," you be more respectful of my feelings or you and I are over".....if he say's fine you and I are over than he never loved you to begin with.....You really don't have anything to lose but the misery that you are caring around with you.

sounds like most mens' thoughts really. it took my husband a long time to realize a wife is his family now,we were young. he felt for a long time his "family" should come first.i got tired of it filed for divorce and opened his eyes in a lot of ways.we never got a divorce and he sees things fine now.maybe you need to wake your husband up too.

I was married to a man just like that for 7 yrs. All I know is that I felt miserable most of the time. It's a shame you did know or realize this before you marry him. I can't tell you what to do but the final decision lies with you.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Well I also have a husband who has children from a prior marriage. At the time that I met him they were small/young, so I could kind of understand why he needed to be there for his kids. If your husband is ignoring you for his adult, grown children then you need to let him know how you feel. But if his children are small then you kind of have to understand. They were his kids first before you were his wife. As far as the unsatisfying sex life well, be there have that. I too have a man who is old fashioned and totally self absorbed when it comes to sex. He believes in having complete satisfaction, but only his part. If I don't go along then pretty much its my own loss.He's your husband so if you don't want to deal with it then maybe you should leave. Let him also know about your feelings of non-fulfillment.Let yourself relax and not hold resentment for him about his kids and you maybe able to relax with him in bed. Just a thought for you. Take care and I wish you the best.

My husband puts his family first also, his mother and brothers. He spends hours at his mothers. I mean like 12 hours a day at his mothers. We hardly ever see him. And when he is here he is asleep. We have grown children who live at home. (24 and 26).
I feel like a single parent. I will probably be leaving soon.

Some men are like that, many of them. Have you tried speaking to him in adult manner, tactfully. It seems you need marital counseling. You need to make your needs, feelings known to him in a nice manner, he can't read your mind.
Was this answer helpful to you?
I think the both of you need to go get some counseling. Your husband sounds insensitive to your needs and wants and at the same time he's " running his nose up his kids butt" trying to " make up " for something he thinks was his fault or that he did. If the both of you are just " using " the other person in a mechanical way for sex, then yeppers...it's gonna be pretty " ho hum " which to me sounds like what's happening. if you don't like the other person, then it makes it hard. The " Love" part is easy...LIKING....the other person is the real challenge.

Well Bonnie.....take a good look at his first marriage. Was the split up his idea or hers. If it was not his then he may have met you on the rebound and ended up marrying you because you helped him through it.
His children are and should be very important to him. However it should never be to the exclusion of you. I am in kind of the same situation only from his end. I lost me first wife to another man. My current wife I did meet on the rebound but I do love her very much. The problem is she is very intimidated by my children and really does not feel she has been accepted by them. Well at least by my daughter.
From what you have said it sounds to me like your husband may not love you as much as he should. Sorry to say that but it doesn't sound good. If he cared for you….you would get a lot more than unsatisfying sex from him. For him to insist that you go to bed no matter what is clearly not considering you at all. If up on occasion he needed it and you allow it then on other occasions he should go way out of his way to make it good for you.
Most women I think that do not get the attention they need put a stop on the sex. What would happen if you did that? If he is not abusive the worse thing that could happen is he would want a divorce. Sorry to say it but you may be better of with that.

you need to let him know that you r not going to take that crap from him....you r his wife...his adult kid can take care of themselves.....and sex whenever he wants ..oh hell no ....i would fake a headache every night until he begs me for it ...then i could get it the way I wanted!!!!...sorry to say but men need to be put in there place sometimes....

Any man who insists on having sex regardless of what his wife is feeling is a jerk. Given that and the fact that you are not satisfied, it's clear that he is viewing you as a convenient receptacle for his bodily fluids and that is it.
If his kids are adults, then there is no reason for him to constantly put them first. (But, do you make an effort to get along with these adults or do they hate you on principle?)
Frankly, he doesn't sound like much of a husband to me, or not the kind of husband I would want to spend my time on. You can either
1. Tell him very clearly just how unhappy you are and why. Then the ball is in his court to change or not. But indicate that the status quo will NOT continue and that remaining married will require a change of attitude and behavior on his part.
2. Just leave.

It does not sound like he is treating you like a wife....
Perhaps you should stop being his wife...
Was this answer helpful to you?
I think he's not much of a husband. Why on earth did you marry him? I think you've allowed this to happen. Was the sex any good before? It's time (overdue) to lay down the law, instead of your body - and tell him the way it's going to be. MY WAY - or the highway. Maybe you should be sick & tired more often - and he'll understand it IS and insult. So is putting anything before your wife.
Was this answer helpful to you?
I'm assuming you are much younger than him. So, you are his trophy and he doesn't value you for more than sex. I could be wrong because you didn't state your ages. But anyway, it is way more satisfying to be happy than sad. You should have happiness in your relationship. If he doesn't shape up, ship him out!
Was this answer helpful to you?
I suggest that you get out of that marriage quick!!!! nothing seems to be a benefit for yourself. Plus the sex is not good??? then why bother with all the stress???? Get out before too many years pass by.....

Girl, you will never get a man to put you before his children. I don't care if they are adults. Now that unsatisfying sex, you chose that man as your husband. You didn't test the ride before you rode off with it? Sound like you jump in the wrong frying pan.

I dont know why you married him ,he is a jerk.

Sounds like he is all ME ME ME and not YOU YOU YOU
A husband should treat his wife with respect and he should cherish her, and all that she does.
If she is feeling sick, nurse her back to health. If she is tired, let her rest. Be there for her, support her, love her, treat her like your queen.
It's really sad, but most men these days don't really seem to know what it is to have a wife. To take vows and honor them. In Sickness, Happiness, health, life, and death you are supposed to love one another.
As for the sex, teach him how to satisfy you-be more aggressive. My husband was doing a terrible job at everything sex, until I told him where to touch me, how to touch me, and not to grab and paw at me.

Stingray feeding in Bora Bora
Frankly, upon hearing about "shark and stingray feeding†I imagined some Polynesian marine park where tourists dangle bait off the side of a boat while oooing and aaaing at a safe distance from the fearsome creatures. Shark and ray feeding in Bora Bora is nothing of the sort. At first the water color itself had me oooing, a seemingly artificial hue of pale blue so brilliant and with visibility so transparent that in the shallow water the floppy stingrays clearly appeared like freaky alien watercrafts gliding across the white sand. The boat anchored around them and my guide hopped out with a bucket of small dead fish. I followed, with snorkels on head. His tossed bait soon attracted a feeding frenzy: suddenly a dozen white gulls were flapping above us, while the ominous dorsal fins of as many prowling sharks clustered on the surface. The stingrays and schools of striped yellow fish circled in the midst. It was like being fully immersed in an aquarium exhibit, the glass wall nonexistent. Things then got even wilder. With bait in my hand, the fish and six-foot-long stingrays rushed into me – the sharks and birds disappeared – slimy bodies now all around, flopping, jostling, elevating high above the water, the rays' ugly sucker mouths puckering up to my sunburned face. Apparently the creatures are habituated to visitors and unlikely to sting – good to know. The bombardment had me drunk on some cocktail of adrenaline and giddiness  – woahing and oh-my-goding, while also cursing and laughing, as if being harassed by bees while a puppy dog licked my face.Â

Perry Courts The Right
By KRWG News
Texas – With his Republican primary victory safely behind him, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is still working hard to court conservative voters.
Perry, who is running for a third full term in office, is scheduled to speak Saturday night at conservative radio and television talk show host Glenn Beck's "Taking Back America" town hall event in Tyler.
Although he has denied it, speculation is swirling that Perry may consider a run for president in 2012 and experts say appearing with Beck keeps him in the minds of conservative voters.
Perry faces former Houston mayor Bill White, the Democratic nominee, in the race for governor in November.

It was supposed to be a satire against Chief Minister Narendra Modi but the pullout issued by the Gujarat Congress and distributed with the local newspapers has proved counterproductive and put the party in an embarrassing situation for "praising" its arch-enemy. The Congress, however, did not agree that it had made any mistake. "It was a deliberate and conscious decision of the party leadership, and it is not a mistake," Congress spokesman Manish Doshi said here on Friday. "We are going to take the advertisement campaign further and cover all the State." According to Dr. Doshi, the advertisement inserted in the Ahmedabad-based newspapers was only aimed at rebutting Mr. Modi's claim that Gujarat owed all its developments to him and the 10 years of the BJP rule under him. The advertisement had listed the "achievements" of all the Chief Ministers since the inception of the State in 1960 to show that Mr. Modi was not the "sole claimant for all the credits," and rather the initiation of the schemes and most of the achievements were made under the Congress regimes long before the advent of the BJP as the ruling party in the State and Mr. Modi, Dr. Doshi claimed.
But the message of the advertisement is lost on a large section of the people which believes that the Congress has "finally woken up the reality" and praised Mr. Modi for what he has done for Gujarat.
Coming to the Modi regime, the advertisement described the Chief Minister as a "master organiser and astute election strategist." Listing his "major achievements," it said he had been "trying very hard to convert Gujarat into a vibrant State, he has established a separate Department for Biotechnology, and he has also been able to raise the height of the Narmada [dam] by 11.64 metres to 121.92 metres."
In this regard, Dr. Doshi said the party "made it clear that while Mr. Modi was claiming credit for the Narmada dam, 110 metres of the dam construction was completed before he took over as Chief Minister."
While the Congress argued that it had only mocked Mr Modi's claim of massive industrialisation by stating that he had given the State only the brand of "Vibrant Gujarat," the people in general took it as a positive reference to his organising the show every two years for wooing huge investments.
Dr. Doshi said: "We have also made it clear that besides Vibrant Gujarat, what Mr. Modi has contributed to the State were several 'Mahotsavas' — Navratri Mahotsava, Krishi Mahotsava during every summer, Ranotsava to celebrate the festivals in the Kutch desert, and Kankaria carnival in Ahmedabad during Christmas holidays — spending crores of rupees from the State exchequer."
"What we are trying to convey through this advertisement is that Gujarat's progress is not due to one person. It has been a progressive State from its inception and that all the Chief Ministers have given their best to the State," Dr. Doshi said.

Red Alder

Alnus rubra
photo: Nancy Turner
The Red Alder grows to 24 metres tall and is often found in recently disturbed areas, especially along marshes, floodplains and stream banks. The flowers can be male or female and are called "catkins". The leaves are bright green, oval and toothed along the edge. The bark of the tree grows rough with age and turns orange-red if opened to the air.
Range & Habitat
The Red ALder is found along the entire coast of BC and much of the interior. In BC this plant grows in the Coast and Mountains and Georgia Lowlands ecoprovinces.
Life Cycle
The Red Alder is a fast growing tree but only lives 40-60 years. The male and female flowers appear before the leaves and produce male and female hanging catkins. The small brownish cones of the red alder are the fruit of the tree that remain over the winter months.
Animal Uses
Red alder leaves are eaten by some animals although it is not an important part of the diet of any particular animals. The larger mature trees have a broader canopy that provides warmth for some larger animals.
Traditional First Nations Uses
Red alder wood was used to making eating implements, for smoking meats and building fires. The outer bark provided orange-red dye and the inner bark was sometimes eaten.
Modern Uses
It was used to make furniture, flooring and other construction because red alder is a very fine-grained wood. It is the most commercially important hardwood in BC.

There has been an online sport management master's degree program at Tennessee Tech University for less than a year, and already enrollment numbers are exceeding expectations.
"We were only predicting eight after a year to be enrolled; there are now about 13," said LaNise Rosemond, assistant professor of exercise science, physical education and wellness. "I see this being limitless."
The program is designed for working professionals looking to advance their careers in sport management, including administration, marketing and facilities operations.
"Most of the people interested in this kind of a degree have a really busy schedule, so the online format makes it easier for them," Rosemond said. "When I was coaching college basketball, this would have been perfect for me because I was too busy to go somewhere to take a class."
The sport management program is the only all-online program of its kind among the seven Tennessee Board of Regents universities, according to Rosemond.
The program is a mixture of already existing master's courses and new ones.
"The sport management concentration in the exercise science distance master's program has helped to grow the numbers in the graduate program, but has also given new graduates and seasoned professionals an opportunity to continue their education in the sought-after sport management field," said Christy Killman, associate professor in the department. "The response from the get-go has been more impressive than we anticipated."
The additional classes are being added slowly. This semester, Rosemond is teaching the only new course, leadership in sport management. The course challenges students to adapt quickly to a changing profession and evaluate themselves and their actions.
Department faculty plan to add a new course every semester, and to hire adjunct professors to help bear the teaching load.
More than half of the 13 enrolled students completed their bachelor's degree at TTU. Others are from Florida and Georgia, and program faculty have had at least one inquiry from as far away as Japan.
"One of the things people have found out about our program is that we are really good at preparing our students," Rosemond said. "If we can match our undergraduate programs with our graduate programs and eventually doctoral programs, it will be even better because we can keep our students here when other universities want them."

Lawmakers weigh autism coverage
CHARLESTON -- Parents of children with autism and their supporters hope this is the year the West Virginia Legislature approves their long-sought insurance proposal.
The House of Delegates could vote this week on a bipartisan bill that aims to require both public and private insurers to cover autism spectrum disorders. But before advancing it to the full House on Friday, the chamber's Finance Committee amended the bill to cap those benefits depending on the child's age.
The autism spectrum covers an array of neurological disorders marked by problems with communication, behavior and social skills. One of every 110 children in the U.S. has autism, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates. The National Institute of Mental Health considers it more common among children than diabetes, spina bifida, or Down syndrome.
West Virginia education officials estimate there are around 1,230 students with autism in the state's public schools. The state Medicaid program reported spending $31 million in the 2009 budget year on 805 individuals with autism, for an average of $38,509 per person.
At least 23 states, including neighboring Kentucky and Pennsylvania, already require insurers to cover applied behavioral analysis, or ABA therapy, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Earlene Sharp Anglin said ABA therapy has proven crucial for her son, now 9. Diagnosed at 18 months, he began intensive treatment immediately. As a result, she said, he is a 3.9 GPA student who attends a regular classroom and does not require an aide. The Cabell County mother is confident that her son will one day drive a car, attend college and hold down a job. She credits ABA therapy.
"This is the one thing we could see immediate results from, and we still do," Anglin said Sunday. "It's an evidence-based treatment plan. ... If they have early intervention and the intensive therapies when they're young, it makes all the difference."
But without insurance coverage, the resulting medical bills required Anglin and her husband to give up their dream home and seek help from family. Relatives pitched in, including Anglin's parents, who devoted part of their retirement to their grandson's care, she said.
At least 17 of the states that mandate coverage also cap ABA therapy benefits. House Finance proposes that West Virginia limit covered benefits to $30,000 annually for children ages 3 through 6, and to $1,000 per month for ages 7 to 18.
These caps would apply to private insurance as well as to the state-run Public Employees Insurance Agency and the Children's Heath Insurance Program. They would also be among the most restrictive among the states that require coverage.
At least 10 of these states allow up to $36,000 worth of covered treatment annually for younger children. Several have $50,000 caps for that age range, including Kentucky. But that state also limits covered benefits to $1,000 per month for older children. Several states cap lifetime covered benefits, including Louisiana at $140,000 and $200,000 for Florida and New Mexico.
Anglin, who has been tracking the bill, said the amendment wrongly assumes that the state now covers treatment both when children are younger than 3 and when they reach school age. She questioned how many county schools staff the necessary certified specialists. She also said the treatments offered to children under 3 do not include ABA therapy.
"That whole part of the medically necessary treatment is missed," Anglin said. "There is nothing that covers that, except parents who pay out of their pocket as we've done."
Delegate Doug Reynolds quizzed Ted Cheatham, PEIA's executive director, about the caps proposed during Friday's House Finance meeting.
"In your professional opinion, do you think that having caps is prudent, since the children that most need this, that will spend over $30,000, aren't they probably the ones that are most in need of services?" the Cabell County Democrat asked.
Cheatham agreed, but also said lawmakers should consider the flip side.
"I do think it is prudent to consider a cap, for the financial viability of (PEIA). It's taxpayers dollars that will fund this," Cheatham said.
The Council for Affordable Health Care, an industry research group, estimates that this mandated coverage increases premiums by between 1 and 3 percent. House Finance Chairman Harry Keith White noted that the bill would require PEIA, CHIP and Medicaid to report to legislative leaders on its effects annually. Lawmakers could revisit the caps based on those figures, the Mingo County Democrat said.
While hoping to convince lawmakers to revisit the caps, Anglin said she and other advocates are thankful for the measure's co-sponsors.
"We're grateful for the progress," she said Sunday. "We do have a lot of support and a lot of momentum."
The Legislature has debated this topic for years. A 2009 measure, which takes effect this year, offers a tax credit to parents who set up trust funds to cover the treatment of children with autism. The annual credit will match up to $2,000 contributed into a fund by parents who file jointly, or up to $1,000 from those who file individually.
The House Judiciary had previously endorsed the amended bill advancing to the full House. A Senate version is also pending with that chamber's Banking and Insurance Committee. The Legislature will reach the midpoint of its 60-day session on Thursday.

Army suspends closure, establishes two-year probation period
The U.S. Army has suspended the closure of Tennessee Tech University's ROTC program and 12 other schools nationwide.
"The best part about this announcement is that our ROTC students who desire to serve and lead have the opportunity to stay at Tennessee Tech," said TTU President Phil Oldham.
"The support for these students and our university has been tremendous," Oldham said. "Our Congressional leaders, Sen. Alexander, Sen. Corker and Rep. Black, responded to the passion and reason voiced by our campus, community, parents, students and others.
Late Wednesday, Oldham received a copy of the notice from the Department of the Army to members of Congress.
According to the Army's notice, the 13 programs will immediately be placed in a probationary status. The Army also launched a review and revalidation of all program retention criteria used to recommended those ROTC programs for closure. Once complete, the evaluation criteria will be used to reassess all ROTC programs nationwide.
Since the announcement that Army ROTC programs at 13 universities nationwide would close, Sen. Lamar Alexander, Sen. Bob Corker and Rep. Diane Black, along with East Tennessee congressional delegates Phil Roe and Stephen Fincher have worked closely with Army leadership to more fully understand the metrics used to make the decision.
The new plan includes several elements that will the allow collaboration between the university and the Army. It also sets up a communications channel for questions, feedback and input. A description of expectations between the ROTC unit and the school will be documented for each school in the probationary program. Regular updates on the unit's progress will be provided to the respective school leadership in a formal report.
"We now have the opportunity to show how our ROTC graduates are just what the Army needs," Oldham said. "We plan to focus on building on our strengths in engineering, nursing and looking at new ways to marry what we do best at the university and in our ROTC program."
The Army will develop a formal 24-month probationary program for schools failing to meet the evaluation criteria. Host programs that demonstrate no improvement in achieving performance goals or meeting criteria by the end of the first year will receive one year's notice of intent to close the unit.
According to the notice, host programs that show improvement or meet evaluation criteria will be retained on the probationary program for a second year. At the end of the 24-month period, schools retained for a second year will be re-evaluated. At that time, they will either receive one year's notice of intent to close the unit or be retained.
The Army says it will continue to work toward restructuring placement of ROTC programs.
Tennessee Tech's ROTC cadets met with campus leadership this morning to receive information and discuss how the Army's new decision affects their futures.
"Tennessee Tech looks forward to Army leaders coming to the university to see firsthand what the program has to offer and discuss what the Army's needs are in the future," Oldham said.

1992 Dodge Shadow 4 Door 2.2L l4 from North America
Totally worth the price if in good shape
Air conditioner compressor leak: $25.
Alternator belt: $20.
Windshield wiper bushing: $5.
Burnt out dashboard lights: $10.
General Comments:
This was my first car. I had bought it off Craigs List in September of 2008 for $350. At a price that low, I expected it to be awful. You get what you pay for, right? Well, I was surprised.
This car has been nothing but awesome for the time I've owned it. Even after 134000 miles, the only problems I've experienced haven't cost me over $100 to fix. It's a great car, and I recommend it to anyone.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

TauSarPhneah´s last blog post..Char Siew Pau & Lotus Leaves Glutinous Rice
Is this Bistro is the same as Harvey's ? There was Mr Ho's Fine Food before the Wine Bar plus the area beneath the staircase took over. Mr Ho's Fine Food was known in KL but what he delivered to Penang was below my expectation. I think that could be 1 of the reasons it's gone. I like the coffee and chocolate beverages they served there from Italy brand Molinari but most of time I'm at Gleneagles for their Molinari beverages instead
pixen´s last blog post..Magadip – Madurese Aromatic Chicken Stew

Big Boys Oven – This building is a real beauty…and is very ideal for a restaurant and even offices. With the reasonable prices, I think this outlet will make its way through as compared to the earlier ones.
J2kfm – The dessert sure was tempting…especially so with the Haagen Dasz icecream. I too was surprised to see it. Warm and cold dessert…yummy.

FoOd PaRaDiSe´s last blog post..Batu Maung Seafood restaurant
i havent stopped drooling since I discovered thsi blog,…just a side note, I dun think the food prices will ever come down despite the fact tht the cruel oil price has halved compared to 6 months ago., there will always be another reason for the food sellers to legitimise their cost.
That's a giant sandwich! And the lava cake looks to die for! I'll have two of those, thank you!

Actually I was supposed to attend a dinner meeting there last two weeks but I couldn't make it. Or else I would have had the experience on how their buffet spread was for small functions.
Anyway, the bosses had just revamped their prices and food quantity recently. You did step in there just at the right time.
Criz Lai´s last blog post..REVIEW – SUNSHINE BAY SEAFOOD RESTAURANT
I used to think that dinning at Harwick is very expensive and no way for the normal people to go there. Not after I read your post and knowing that the pricing is really reasonable. The most important is the ambiance and the environment there is classy and elegent. I have to plan a visit there
StevenGoh.com´s last blog post..Great Tandoori Chicken @ Kapitan, Lebuh Chulia
If I did not remember wrongly, they used to serve fine food, anfd it cost a bomb. Or was it Harvey's?! Anyway, I would definitely go for the steal sandwich. It is hard to fine good steak sandwich here.
Next cooking experiment, would be smoke pork belly that we had at Edelwise previously. If successful, I will share the recipe wih you.
Jason WOng´s last blog post..Restaurant Lin (Lorong 7 Koay Teow Theng) at Raja Uda, Butterworth, Penang
Steven Goh – I have not try out their seafood and meat, not too sure about the prices, you can always check it out first but those pasta that I had is a steal…tasty and reasonable.
Jason Wong – The sandwich portion is filling and the combination of all the veg makes it very tasty.
It would be lovely to see your smoke pork belly and best if I get to taste it too…haha
The food looks good. i went there once but not going for the restaurant, i went to the cc computer on the second floor instead.
Spaghetti Beef Bolognaise looks so tempting. the pasta will it be too cheesy? sometimes, too much cheese will make it very "jik lak".

Preserving the Past, Informing the Future
|Skip Navigation Links
March 25, 2002
This report is prepared bi-monthly in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Connecticut State Library Board. Items to be routinely covered include the following: the significant activities of the State Librarian and the staff, significant administrative decisions affecting the operation of the Library, status reports regarding in-progress activities, information regarding external events having an impact on the Library, media coverage of the Library, and information of general interest to the members of the Board.
The following report by the State Librarian, which will be included in the minutes of the March 25, 2002 meeting of the Board, covers the period of January 28, 2002, through March 24, 2002.
Financial Report
Attached to this report.
Personnel Report
Vacancies (Federal Funds)
Positions Filled Since Last Report
State Librarian's Report
Van Block Facility
The outfitting and move to the Van Block Facility is moving apace. The State Library awarded the contract for moving the archives and library collections to William B. Meyer, a library relocation firm. Approximately 10.3 miles of shelving have been installed at Van Block. Because of the need to insure that materials make it safely from their locations to Van Block, it was necessary to close the Archives during the move.
Rich Kingston, Director of Administrative Services, and I met with our Budget Analysts from the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) to discuss a variety of issues. Chief among them was the library materials budget. We provided them with details on the effect the current funding level is having on our collections. We also provided them with a tour of the State Library.
Board member Larry Kibner arranged for a member of the Finance Committee to meet with he and I at the State Library to discuss the library materials budget and other budgetary issues. This was followed by a tour of the State Library and Museum.
Mr. Kibner also arranged for Eunice DiBella, Public Records Administrator, and me to meet with Representative Abrams to discuss an amendment to the proposed Connecticut Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. This bill came up in the last session, but didn't pass. Our only concern with the proposed bill has to do with retention of electronic records.
Several bills affecting public records have emerged. Of particular concern is Raised Bill 512, "AN ACT CONCERNING THE ELECTRONIC SCANNING OF CERTAIN PUBLIC RECORDS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT". The proposed legislation would allow any individual appearing at a public agency in person to copy any public record through the use of a hand-held scanner. As used in this section, "hand-held scanner" means a battery operated electronic scanning device, the use of which (1) leaves no mark or impression on the public record, and (2) does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the public agency. We are opposed to the bill for preservation and security reasons.
Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)
Legislation to reauthorize LSTA was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 27, as H.R. 3784 the Museum of Library and Services Act of 2002. The bill appears to have good bi-partisan support. The biggest unresolved issues in the legislation have to do with funding. Many of us have been advocating for an increase in the basic grant that each state gets and an overall increase in the appropriations level. Connecticut currently receives $1,900,321 in federal LSTA funding.
We submitted a grant application for a 2002 Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grant requesting $243,894 for the GreatKidsCT website project. The grant would enable us to improve the search capability, allow for personalization of the site, link to iCONN and make other technological improvements to the site.
A grant application for the 2002 Museum Assessment Program has also been submitted to IMLS. This grant would fund an institutional assessment of the Museum of Connecticut History.
I am also working with the University of Connecticut, the Connecticut Historical Society (CHS), Mystic Seaport and the New Haven Colony Historical Society on a grant application for a 2002 IMLS National Leadership Grant for Library-Museum Collaborations. This grant would fund phase II of the Connecticut History Online website. The State Library and New Haven Colony Historical Society are new partners in this grant and some of the funding would enable the State Library and New Haven to add collections to the website. Connecticut History Online was originally funded by an IMLS grant to UConn, CHS, and Mystic.
Information Services Division
Reference Services
The Division has begun a review of patron use during the first six-month of the extended Saturday and Thursday evening hours.
A notice about the closing of parts of the Collection as the move to the Van Block storage area progresses has been posted on the Internet. The notice is frequently updated to reflect the status of various collections. Although the move has just begun, to this point it seems not to have caused undue hardship for patrons.
Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (LBPH) Director Carol Taylor gave a LBPH presentation at the Town of Windsor Senior Center, and gave a tour of LBPH to Margaret Mair, Library and Historical Research Consultant.
Government Information Reference Librarians Nancy Peluso and Nancy Lieffort, Law/Legislative Reference Librarian Janis Lefkowitz, and General Worker Steve Rice gave a tour of the three reference units to 46 8th graders from Bethel Middle School. History & Genealogy Reference Librarian Carolyn Picciano and Government Information Unit Head Julie Schwartz spoke to the group.
History & Genealogy Reference Librarian Carolyn Picciano and Government Information Reference Librarians Nancy Lieffort and Nancy Peluso assisted students from Southbury Middle School with their History Day projects.
Law/Legislative Unit Head Denise Jernigan, Government Information Unit Head Julie Schwartz, Government Documents Librarian Nancy Peluso, and Law/Legislative Reference Librarian Janis Lefkowitz gave a tour and orientation to approximately 100 Legislative Interns in January and February.
History & Genealogy Office Assistant Kevin Johnson performed as William Webb at the Park St. Branch of the Hartford Public Library on February 5, the Noah Webster School on February 7, the Groton Sub Base on February 8 and 20, the Vernon Middle School on February 13, the Blue Hills Branch of the Hartford Public Library on February 21, and as part of the Liberty Christian Black History Program on February 23.
The 14th Annual History and Genealogy Researchers Appreciation Luncheon was held on February 14, in Ken Wiggin's office. Information Services Division Director Lynne Newell, Library Development Division Director Sharon Brettschneider, and Public Records Administrator Eunice DiBella each briefly addressed the group. Preservation Librarian Jane Cullinane then gave a presentation on Preservation.
Articles about Kevin Johnson's William Webb presentations at the Sub Base in Groton for African American History Month appeared in the New London Day on February 9 and in the Groton Sub Base newspaper, The Dolphin, on February 14.
Bibliographic Services Librarian Carolyn Giliberto has completed barcoding and relabeling all of the Connecticut newspaper microfilm. 37 thousand reels are now classified, cataloged, labeled, and barcoded. The use of the microfilms is increasing steadily due to this project's having made them more accessible, and more available through the online catalog.
Library Automation
The State of Connecticut website, ConneCT will be changed to portal presentation. Ken Wiggin, Lynne Newell, Julie Schwartz, and Government Information Reference Librarian Al Palko all have been active in the planning and designing of the revised website. CSL staff proposed indexing of substantive webpages and suggested the use of AIRS (Alliance of Information and Referral Services) thesaurus terms. The Dept. of Information Technology has agreed and will embed AIRS headings in the portal management software. As a pilot to test the effectiveness of the indexing for retrieval by users, Infoline staff will apply the thesaurus terms to 1,000 sites.
The State Library staff has created a new resource designed to save research time, while maintaining the ability to have timely information available on issues currently under consideration in state government. Current Issues is a changing series of research guides to electronically available information on topics of interest to the General Assembly, their staff, state agencies and the general public. Smart growth, teacher recruitment, electricity restructuring, and Connecticut statistics are just a few of the featured topics so far. Government Information Reference librarians compile the guides by carefully selecting reports from Connecticut state agencies and the Legislative Staff Offices, as well as information from the federal and other states' governments. Special effort is made to include items that compare and contrast multiple states' responses to an issue. Current Issues are available online.
History & Genealogy Unit Head Dick Roberts attended the Gentech, 2002 Conference "Family History at the Speed of Light" from January 24-26, in Boston.
Information Services Director Lynne Newell attended an IMLS Conference on Outcome Based Evaluation in Washington, D.C. with Division of Library Development Director Sharon Brettschneider and Digital Library Interlibrary Loan Coordinator Steve Cauffman on February 11 and 12. The goal was to train a team of staff from each State Library who could then work together to implement outcome-based evaluation for Library Services and Technology Act programs.
Collection Management Unit Head Diane Pizzo and Library Technician Jin-Chih Chang attended a NELLCO Interlibrary Loan meeting at Harvard Law School on February 4 and a CONSULS ILL meeting at CCSU on February 7.
LBPH Unit Head Carol Taylor attended a Connecticut Radio Information System Board Meeting in Windsor on February 21.
Bibliographic Services Unit Head Stephen Slovasky participated in a telephone conference with the Digital Archive Subcommittee from OCLC on February 13 and February 22.
All of the Information Services Division staff have attended Diversity Training or will be going within the next few months.
Division Of Library Development
Beginning in April 2002, public libraries will begin reporting their Connecticard statistics online. The Division has made a web accessible reporting form available on the State Library's website. Statistics necessary for the Connecticard reimbursement program will now be compiled automatically.

Continuing Education
Continuing Education Consultant Barry Woods reports that the response to winter and spring Division of Library Development workshops has been overwhelming. The "hot" workshop this year is a two-day class called "PC Survival" with Professor Wayne Spies. Survival II classes will start this summer.
Multiple sessions of Microsoft applications workshops, such as Word: Beyond the Basics, Introduction to Access, the Complete Excel and FrontPage, have been arranged in Middletown and registrations for all workshops are full. New this spring are "Exploring the Palm Pilot" and "Using Excel as a Database" with instructor Diane McKeever.
More Division of Library Development workshops are being taken on the road this year in an effort to provide training to those who find it difficult or inconvenient to travel to State Library facilities. The "Introduction to Genealogical and Family History Research" with Dr. Robert Rafford is being presented in public libraries in Winsted, Danielson, Guilford and Newtown. "Getting Started with Windows/Word" and "Word: Beyond the Basics" will be given for the first time in May and June at the new Technology Foundation Center at the Darien Public Library.
"Attracting Opposites: Why Libraries Need Young Adults" was presented for the first time to a group of 25, at the Middletown Library Service Center, in November 2001. Instructor Amy Skolnik, Director of the Foster and Tyler Public Libraries in Rhode Island, gives the teenager's perspective on public library services in a unique and humorous presentation. Children's Librarian Anne Campbell of the Groton Public Library was so impressed with "Attracting Opposites"; she asked if we could repeat the program in southeastern Connecticut. There will be a repeat session of this workshop at Groton Public Library on May 17.
iCONN: the Connecticut Digital Library
The new Connecticut Digital Library Advisory Board (CDLAB) was formed and met for the first time on February 6. The members of the Board and their membership categories are:

iCONN - Training Manual for K-12 Schools
A 124-page iCONN Training Manual was completed and delivered to the Regional Educational Service Centers (RESC)for their use in providing train-the-trainer training to library media specialists from public K-12 schools. It was developed by Patricia Lord Clark (formerly, library director of Miss Porter's School) under contract with the State Library and pursuant to an agreement between the State Library and the Connecticut Alliance of Regional Educational Service Centers. The entire manual can be downloaded from iCONN. Also available from the same location is a brochure developed by Betty Goyette (State Department of Education) entitled, 10 Big Ideas for using iCONN to increase the challenge level for all students.
The RESC Spring training schedule and registration information has been posted online ("Statewide Training Program - Public Schools"), and was also published in the CLSU and CEMA monthly newsletters and CEMA-L listserv. Each class is open on a statewide basis. There is a nominal registration fee and Continuing Education Units are granted.

iCONN Statistics
According to the latest statistics, there have been more than 2.6 million searches conducted in iCONN from July 2001 to January 2002.
iCONN - Testimonials and Cost Savings
Two sections have been created within the iCONN home page to publish testimonials and cost savings reports submitted by libraries. The testimonials site and the Cost Savings/Budget Impact site are online. These sites have been helpful in revealing how libraries and schools are using iCONN, and the impact of having iCONN.
Getting the Word Out
Articles published (or submitted for publication) about iCONN have been listed under "Articles" in About iCONN and in Support Materials. Among four articles listed are articles by library media specialists Muriel Gaynor and Janet Leonberger from West Hartford Public Schools and by library media specialist Jane Tonn from Middletown High School.
There are currently 60 schools participating in reQuest. A significant marketing initiative focused on increasing the number of high school libraries participating in reQuest is in the works. This will involve the development of reQuest brochures (PAC/CAT and ILL) designed specifically for school libraries and holding several regional information sessions on reQuest, some in conjunction with library media specialist roundtable meetings. This effort is being coordinated by Steve Cauffman and Gail Hurley.
Nelinet training on PAC/ILL functions (coordinated by Steve Cauffman) was held on February 6 and on WebCAT/Cataloging functions (coordinated by Gail Hurley) on February 21.
Jane Emerson conducted a workshop on iCONN for the Eastern Connecticut Libraries Library Assistants Roundtable on January 30, at the Middletown Library Service Center.

The game was the NCAA Division II Game of the Week and broadcast nationally on CBS Sports Network.
"I'm proud of the way our guys competed," Chadron State head coach Jay Long said. "Obviously, we didn't get the outcome we wanted but I know we're going to learn from this and get better. It was a great atmosphere to play in and we represented Chadron State well."
The Eagles, ranked 18th, burst out of the gates on the Cowboys' home turf, scoring 21 consecutive points in the opening quarter and led 31-16 in the fourth quarter, but the Buffs scored 17 unanswered points to escape with the victory. The game couldn't have started any better for the Eagles. Glen Clinton scored on a 77-yard run on the Eagles' first play and defensive end Dillon Breinig recovered a West Texas less than a minute later. On the ensuing play, quarterback Jonn McLain, who completed 28 of 40 passes for 222 yards, found Nathan Ross all alone in the end zone for a 7-yard TD. Following a Buffs' punt, the Eagles put together their finest drive of the night, traveling 82 yards in 17 plays. Michael Madkins, who rushed for 89 yards, plunged into the end zone from a yard out to put CSC up, 21-0.
West Texas responded with a long drive of its own – 86 yards in 14 plays – culminating in Castillo's 21-yard field goal. The Eagles answered with a field goal of their own midway through the second quarter when Randy Wentz boomed a 33 yarder. The kicking spree ended late in the quarter after Castillo cut the Eagles' lead to 24-6 with a 29-yard field goal. The second half belonged to the Buffs as they outscored Chadron State, 28-7. The Eagles' only score came on a 52-yard run up the middle from Michael Madkins, giving CSC a 31-16 advantage. However, West Texas A&M's Aaron Harris scored two TDs in the fourth quarter and Castillo nailed the game-winning field goal following a 10-play, 67-yard drive.
The game was evenly matched. Chadron State finished with 464 yards, West Texas A&M had 462.
West Texas quarterback Dustin Vaughn completed 29 of 41 passes for 353 yards and one TD. Torrence Allen had eight receptions for 124 yards and Harris added 103 yards on the ground. Lane Haller led Chadron State's defense with 15 tackles and Shea Koch had 10.
The Eagles will host Colorado Mesa Saturday at noon for Family Day.
Scoring Summary
First Quarter
CSC – Glen Clinton 77 run (Randy Wentz kick)
CSC – Nathan Ross 7 pass from Jonn McLain (Wentz kick)

Many parents and indeed many investment providers are concerned with the fact that children who are stuck with a Child Trust Fund are not permitted to transfer it into the new Junior ISA.We feel it is unfair and are concerned that many CTF providers will now just concentrate on the Junior ISA and children stuck with a CTF will have a poorer performing investment.Currently, it is not permitted to transfer a Child Trust Fund To A Junior ISA but we are hoping the government will change its decision on this matter in the near future.If your stuck with a poorly performing Child Trust Fund then why not transfer it to another provider.

Lamar Alexander has long been known as a relatively reasonable Republican legislator, one of those rare creatures known as moderate pragmatists. A coalition of Tea Party groups don't like that at all and have written him a letter telling him that if he doesn't retire from the Senate, they'll be mounting a primary challenge from the right. The language of that letter is quite interesting:
A coalition of conservative Tea Party groups published an open letter Wednesday urging Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) to retire instead of seeking a third term next year.
The letter warns Alexander that if he refuses to "retire with dignity," he will eventually face a significant primary challenge from the right.
"Unfortunately, our great nation can no longer afford compromise and bipartisanship, two traits for which you have become famous," the letter reads.
This confirms what I've been saying about the Tea Partiers all along, that they are extremists for whom no one is ever pure enough. That's why the GOP has such a problem trying to simultaneously harness their energy and votes while keeping them under control.

Diatoms are photosynthetic organisms. Their chloroplasts often appear brownish because, in addition to green chlorophyll, they contain brown and yellow pigments. In Nitzschia sigmoidea there are two chloroplasts - one at each end of the long, s-shaped cells.
Like many diatoms, Nitzschia species are able to glide over surfaces by secreting mucilage. Large populations of these diatoms can form a golden-brown coating on rocks and sediments, and are often clearly visible on intertidal muds at low tide.

Most Philadelphians have a love-hate relationship with SEPTA. It's inarguably a super convenient way to get down to Citizens Bank Park or Lincoln Financial Field for a game... as long as you're starting your trip somewhere near the Broad Street Line. And let's not get into waiting for the right bus to stop when you want it.
But I think we can all agree the wrapper on this train found on the BSL posted to SEPTA's Facebook page is rather perfect.
It reads: "The world's greatest fans ride this train" and in smaller text bellow, "Not applicable to fans of Dallas, New York, Washington, or any non-Philadelphia team."
I dig it.

What is the state of experimental activity in reversible computing? (self.QuantumComputing)
submitted 2 years ago by skytomorrownow
I haven't been able to find out a whole lot of information about the field of reversible computing, and wonder if research has sort of died out, or what the current state is? I became interested in this when studying Landauer's Principle.
[–]RaketeAppliances 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I know there has been some work in the are of reversible logic at the University of South Florida Department of Computer Engineering, here is a link to an example that I found. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5302&context=etd
Not quantum computing, but I hope this helps answer your question.

Accent Lighting!
Turn any table or wall into a gallery-like display, bringing your art or special pieces to life with brilliant light.
Utility Cost Savings
LG is dedicated to saving you money. Worry less about your energy bill because our products save you on energy costs as compared to a halogen light bulb. Given how long they last, we think you'll appreciate the extra money in your pocket.
Long Life
Enjoy substantially longer life and reduced costs when you use LG LED MR16. With a lifetime of up to 35 years* you can install the MR16 and not worry about having to get up a ladder to change the lamps for a LONG time.
*35 year lifespan calculations are based on average of 0~2.7 hours operation per day.
LG LED MR16, omits no hazardous wavelengths which can deteriorate objects, nor does the light flicker. No UV (ultraviolet) or IR (infra-red) rays, no mercury content. Even after 10 years of use, almost the same intensity of illumination can be maintained. No flickering means it is more comfortable to the eye.
- No IR, or UV
- Reduced glare and eye fatigue with less flickering
Broad Compatibility
Broad compatibility enables replacement of standard halogen lamps without any additional cost.
Decorative Lighting
If you are considering giving your interior a fresh look, the LED Lamp MR16 is the solution. You can use it as the accent lighting in your living room or hallway. LG LED MR16 is also the ideal solution for decorative lighting in shops, hotels or restaurants.
Innovative LED Lighting from LG Electronics
Through the participation of multiple LG manufacturing divisions, LG Electronics has vertically integrated the value chain for the entire LED Lighting manufacturing process. As an industry leader, LG was the first global manufacturer to develop and adopt a 6" design into the LED wafer production process. In doing so, this larger wafer design allows for a more efficient, and higher yielding, LED manufacturing process.

it's a small world is currently open with its holiday overlay. During this time the attracition is thoroughly redecorated for Christmas and the music is changed.
Perhaps the most divisive ride in all the Disney theme parks, "it's a small world" has permeated the general culture more than any other attraction. Originally designed for the 1964 World's Fair in New York City, "it's a small world" moved to Disneyland in 1966 and has since been something every visitor has to do at least once. Whether to do it ever again after that is a decision each person has to make on their own. Travelling in small boats with an endless score of variations on the song "it's a small world (after all)" guests pass approximately 300 animatronic dolls representing the many cutlures from around the world. The very exterior of the ride is an attraction with its complex cuckoo clock going off every 15 minutes and topiary cut to animal shapes.
You can help us keep these guides current. If you see anything incorrect on this page, or if you have additional information that should be added, please fill out our form.
