7 Little-known (And Slightly Weird) Holidays in May

The eighth annual Charleston Beach Music & Shag Festival will be held on Aug. 24 and 25 in the ballroom of the North Charleston Performing Arts Center, which is connected to the Embassy Suites, organizer Harriett Grady has announced. Featured acts are Carolina Breeze Band, Shrimp City Slim with Juke Joint Johnny, Legends of Beach, Angel Rissoff, Fantastic Shakers and Jim Quick & Coastline; deejays Gerry Scott, Andy Todd, Betty Brown and Jim Bowers. Shag instructors will offer instruction and demonstrations.

Keyboard player Shrimp City Slim takes his blues revue on tour annually. For this event, he's teaming up with harmonica wizard Juke Joint Johnny.
North Carolina-based Legends of Beach is the quintessential beach music band featuring powerhouse vocals along with a breathtaking signature horn section. They boast not only beach music icon Jackie Gore, but also his high-energy daughter Terri Gore.
Soul singer Angel Rissoff comes to the festival all the way from New York City. Formerly with Little Isadore & the Inquisitors (he was Little Leopold), Angel sang lead for the group's smash single, "Harlem Hit Parade." He has performed with pop star Cyndi Lauper, teen idol Dion and more.
The Fantastic Shakers, led by the inimitable Bo Shronce, deliver a high-power performance wherever they go. One of the best dance bands around, they'll cover beach, blues, boogie and more. Over the years, this six-man band has become one of the most popular in the Carolinas.
Jim Quick & Coastline bring a combination of power, charm, humor and talent to the stage. Performing their own brand of blues-edged swamp funk and soul, the group has a following that will sing along with every tune they play.
Doors open at 1 p.m. each day. On Saturday, Carolina Breeze Band performs from 1 – 2 p.m. There will be shag lessons and demonstrations from 2 - 3 p.m. Local blues icons Shrimp City slim & Juke Joint Johnny take the stage at 3 p.m. with deejay Gerry Scott spinning tunes from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
Legends of Beach featuring Jackie Gore and daughter Terri Gore perform from 6 – 8 p.m. Deejay Scott returns for another hour at 8 p.m. Soul singer Angel Rissoff, backed by the Legends of Beach, is scheduled from 9 – 10 p.m. Saturday entertainment winds down with deejays Gerry Scott and Andy Todd from 10 p.m. until midnight.
Charleston's deejay Jim Bowers kicks off the Sunday schedule starting at 1 p.m. The Fantastic Shakers will play from 2:30 – 4:30. Deejay Betty Brown is set to provide dance music after the Shakers set until 6 p.m. when beach music's bad boy Jim Quick and his Coastline band hit the stage running. Betty Brown will come back to close out the event at 8 p.m. All times are approximate.
For information, call 843-814-0101 or email email@example.com. Weekend ticket prices are $45/members and $55 nonmembers of the Beach Music and Shag Preservation Society of S.C.

"Thank you for being so awesome! In my entire life, I have never had a church that I look forward to attending each Sunday. I have prayed for a church for my family to love and here you all are. I love listening to the message, hearing the stories, service is entertaining and I love how our pastor realizes he's only human like the rest of us! Thank you for moving to Knoxville and starting a great church!"
"I am so grateful for A Church Called Home for so many reasons. I WANT to go to church now. A year ago, I was bitter…about church. I often left feeling more lost and more guilty than when I came. THANK YOU! I love our church."
"One thing I love about this church is that I've never thought, "When are they going to stop singing or when is he going to stop preaching?" Instead I find myself so engaged, so into it, that I don't want it to stop."
"Service was so great today!!! I just wanted to say, 'The more I'm understanding God's Word, the more my life seems to be changing. The stronger I feel I am getting in my faith the more I realize I am not alone. Thank you! I love our church!!!'"
"This church has brought my husband back to liking church again, which has been a huge dream of mine. I'm a blessed person!!"
"Great service today! Thanks for all you do & thank you for a wonderful church experience! I've never felt more at Home than I do at A Church Called Home!!"
"We attended the services last Sunday for the 1st time and was really impressed by the welcome we received and the outpouring of Love that was given as a first time attendee. We are looking forward to coming back to A Church Called Home where it really feels like we are at home already."
"Just wanted to tell everyone that attending A Church Called Home has been so awesome. It feels like we're one big family although there are distant cousins that I don't know that well yet. Every time I come to church it feels like a big reunion and it is just wonderful! Thank you all so much for everything you have done and all you continue to do."
"Today was my first time visiting A Church Called Home. When I walked through the door I was a little confused. There was such a party atmosphere in the hospitality area, laughter, food, drinks... so much so that I thought, 'Surly I'm not at church. Can church be this fun?'"
"Our marriage small group has been the best group I have every been apart of."
"Lord, service was so good this morning I 'bout cried my eyelashes off!"
"After the service my friend said that she envision heaven being like what she experienced at A Church Called Home. The Lord opening the gate and saying, "Welcome Home."
"I having been enjoying small group and every service I have attended. I look forward to the future with A Church Called Home, and truly feel home. You, and everyone I have meet since I started attending have made me feel blessed and growing in my faith. Thank you!"
"I came up during a time of much legalism; when the push seemed to be on the call to preach - so I sort of volunteered myself. I worked in the bus ministry, children's church, youth ministry and even interim pastored for one year (miserably). And I served as a deacon as well. Now at 65 years old I am not sure what the will of God is for the rest of my life. I know it's serving and I now realize that all church ministries are equally important whether it's greeting or anything else. I am so proud to be now serving at A Church Called Home."
"We enjoyed our visit to your church this past Sunday while visiting from Florida. I know our son and his family were strongly attracted to your church and have thoroughly enjoyed attending. As a parent of a young man who has settled far from home, I am extremely appreciative of the help and guidance A Church Called Home and Pastor Jason has offered my son and his budding young family. The church has been a prayer answered! Words cannot express how grateful I am to God and your ministry for being there for my son and his family..."
"Since I have been coming to A Church Called Home, I have had a whole new outlook on life with The Lord. Before I started coming to this church, my heart and mind was all over the place with God. I never really knew that much about God, and I never really understood how great it is to have Him in your life. This past year, my mother and I, experienced a great deal of pain, and it's been hard to see the light. But God has used this church to change all of that.
God has given me strength to move on, and forgive others who hurt me and helped me forgive myself. I have been going to churches ever since I was a little girl, but I never really understood the bible. Since I've been coming to A Church Called Home my understanding of The Bible and God has increased greatly. The wonderful, powerful music this church has is so lifting and so touching, I don't think I have ever left without tears in my eyes! I LOVE the way Jason preaches, it is so easy to understand, and I like how he breaks it all down. The church all around is what I have always been looking for; so welcoming, and not judge mental. Everybody there is always so sweet, and just seem like they each have a very good heart. Thank you so much again, and I cannot wait to start this new chapter in my life!"
"I have visited the last couple of weeks and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. The music is wonderful and I love how they just get in there and worship our Lord - allowing His Spirit to come in through song and praise. The messages are awesome. I love how you share The Word in ways so simple that a child could understand it. This is truly a blessing and thanks to everyone for sharing the Love that God shares with us."
"When I was asked to serve at A Church Called Home, I was at my lowest. I had been through so much and my family was very worried about my well being. But then came the opportunity to serve here. This church has given me a purpose. God has truly used A Church Called Home to save my life!"
"I smothered my tears back during the whole service yesterday. I've missed the presence of God so much and I felt it AS SOON as I walked into that cinema."
"I am thankful for A Church Called Home. I love this church!"
"The other day I told my friend, 'If you come to my church, the greeters are so good, the second time you visit they'll be calling you by name.'"
"What an awesome service!!! God is great with everything he is doing through the church and all that come. I love being involved and I feel that I can be myself with everyone on the team. Thank God for blessing all of us!!"
"What a powerful service again today! I am very grateful for A Church Called Home and all those who contribute its success. Thank you all."

Preserving the Past, Informing the Future
|Skip Navigation Links
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 July 25, 2005 meeting of the Board, covers the period of May 24, 2005, through July 24, 2005.
Attached to this report.
Positions Filled Since Last Report
General Workers
In January 2005 I reported that we were informed that the state was revising the "general worker" classification calling it auxiliary worker and making it a not to exceed 1,040 hours a year position with benefits and that by July 1st we had to have everyone in conformance with the new classification or try and find them new positions. Thanks to the hard work of Louise Carey, head of our Human Resources office, and the cooperation of the Department of Administrative Services and the Office of Policy and Management, we were able to establish a new position – Library Aide – and have placed 6 former general workers in the new category. An employee from another agency who was on the re-employment list filed a seventh position. We will no longer be able to employee student workers – they can only by employed by higher education, but we are employing summer workers, and budget permitting will continue to in the future.
Legislative Session
Both the Regular Session and the Special Session have concluded and the Governor has signed the budget bills. In the general operating budget, all of the statewide library programs were level funded. These include: Connecticar, iCONN, the CLC, Grants to Public Libraries, and Connect card payments.
On a more positive note, Public Library Construction grants were funded at last year's $3.5 million dollar level, which is higher than the Governor's budget recommendation of $2.5 million. Additionally, the bond package included authorizations for 4 additional designated construction grants. The State Library has consistently objected to earmarking for specific projects, however, this does increase the total dollars authorized for public library construction in the State Library's budget to $4 million in FY 06 and $5.125 million in FY07.
The State Library received a $70,000 increase in the book budget for FY06 and $140,000 additional in FY07. $300,000 was also authorized in bonding for the book budget in both FY06 and FY07. If approved by the Bond Commission, this would restore some of the earlier cuts to the book budget including some funds for the Service Center collections.
Additionally, an education curator position was added to the Museum staff beginning in 2006.
The Connecticut Education Network was funded through the Department of Information Technology at a level that will enable the work to connect public libraries to continue. All public libraries that wish to be should be connected by this Fall.
In other legislative matters, HB 6801 AN ACT CONCERNING CONFIDENTIALITY OF LIBRARY RECORDS passed the Senate, but was not taken up by the House of Representatives.
Advocacy Honor Roll
On June 24, 2005 at the American Library Association's Annual Meeting in Chicago, ALA and the Association for Library Trustees and Advocates (ALTA) announced those to be added to the 2nd National Advocacy Honor Roll. Connecticut honorees were Governor M. Jodi Rell, the Friends of Connecticut Libraries and the Clementine Lockwood Peterson Foundation (Greenwich Library). The National Honor Roll was created in 2000 to identify and recognize those individuals and groups who have actively supported and strengthened library services at the local, state or national levels. I attended the Honor Roll Banquet along with Anita Wilson and her husband representing FOCL, and Mario Gomez and staff of the Greenwich Library representing the Peterson Foundation. The honorees names will be added to the Honor Roll plaque that will be placed at the Middletown Library Service Center.
Accomplishments/Division News
As part of our acceptance into the CONSER (Cooperative Online Serials) international authorized cataloging program, Rick Fitzgerald, a cataloger from the Library of Congress, provided training to Bibliographic Information Librarian Glynis Georgie on May 16th. Mr. Fitzgerald explained CONSER-level cataloging policies, discussed the original records we submitted with our program application for "authentication" and together, they worked on actual serials cataloging problems from our collection. Mr. Fitzgerald will continue to review our work for the next six months.
The Special Genealogical File project has been completed, adding 1,049 bibliographic records to our online catalog, CONSULS. Records can be searched by family name or keyword.
LBPH has been receiving much needed volunteer assistance from Rocky Hill High School, and from Care of CT and other regular volunteers.
New carpet tiles have been installed in the staff room and new tile has been installed in the receiving area where tape inspection is done. The new tile allows the tubs of tapes to move more easily. Air conditioning has been installed in LBPH Director Carol Taylor's office.
Publicity and Publications
The June issue of the Family Tree magazine has an article on researching in Connecticut as part of its 'State Research Guides' series. Most of the article is about the wealth of resources at CSL and on our web site.
Web page updates
The web page creators have been extremely busy. The following new pages have been added and are linked from the New & Noteworthy Web page of our Web site.
History and Genealogy Unit Head Dick Roberts hosted a CT Professional Genealogists Council meeting at Van Block and provided a tour of the Information Services Division storage area, including newspapers and city directories on June 2. Assistant Archivist Paul Baran explained his Rowland papers project to the Council.
Continuing Education
One of the priorities for Library Development is providing quality continuing education for library staff in Connecticut. We sponsor regular continuing education sessions throughout the year for little or no cost to libraries. In June, the Division sponsored 16 training sessions. 12 were conducted in the Willimantic or Middletown technology training labs. In July, sixteen technology sessions were held. Some of the topics offered were: Evolving Web: Search Engines, Browser Alternatives & Accessing the Deep Web; Introduction to PowerPoint; and Access for Non-Programmers. Mary Louise Jensen and Jane Cullinane coordinated two sessions of Wet Books! A Hands-on Workshop: Responding to a Water Emergency at Your Library with Lori Foley, Director of Field Service Northeast Document Conservation Center, and Steve Krol, Fire Marshal of South District of Middletown.
In addition, WebJunction Connecticut enables us to offer over fifty online courses to library staff in the state. Kris Abery is the coordinator of continuing education for the Division of Library Development.
Long Range Planning Grants
The Division of Library Development announced the availability of $70,000 in Library Services and Technology Act funding for grants for public library long-range planning. Grants of $3,000 to $10,000 will be awarded. The purpose of the grant is to assist public libraries with development of long-range plans. Priority will be given to libraries that use the PLA Planning for Results process and are planning a construction project in the next four years. Grant applications must be submitted by October 7, 2005. The grant period will be January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006. A local match of 25% of the amount of federal funds requested will be required. Applications are available online at: http://ct.webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=11043
Connecticut Education Network
The Division of Library Development and the Department of Information Technology held three information sessions for public libraries in June on the Connecticut Education Network (CEN). Policies for connecting public libraries to the CEN were adopted by the Commission for Educational Technology in March 2005. In April the State Library sent a letter to libraries explaining the status of the CEN and providing a copy of the policies. Public libraries were also asked to fill out an online survey and return a Letter of Agreement signifying their willingness to be connected to the CEN.
2nd round for Gates Staying Connected Grant Opportunity
The State Library received a grant of $163, 680 to support public libraries' efforts to "stay connected." The first round of free public access computer technical training made possible by the grant has been completed. 26 libraries successfully completed the training and are now eligible for grant-funded discounts on technical support through Bibliomation. An announcement has been sent to the remaining qualifying libraries of a second round opportunity. Libraries are eligible for the opportunity if (either): their service population is under 10,000; or the Gates Foundation has established that the poverty rate in their community is greater than 10%.
The series of enhancements planned to improve iCONN usability were successfully implemented on the evening of June 16, 2005. The response to these changes has been overwhelmingly positive. In addition, the collection of e-books contributed by Gale has been implemented with authentication in the public, school and college classic menus, and MARC records containing links to each e-book have been added to the reQuest main catalog. Direct links to each e-book have also been made available through the iCONN site index so that libraries can post the links on their home pages.
Public Awareness
The newly designed iCONN bookmark was distributed to 75,000 state employees along with their paychecks in June. Bookmarks are also being distributed upon request to libraries to make available to their patrons. We plan to print an additional 600,000 bookmarks to be distributed by the DMV along with motor vehicle registration renewal notices at the rate of 50,000 per month over a one-year period.
Gail Hurley, Statewide Catalog Coordinator, gave a presentation and answered questions on Circulation Status in reQuest at the Annual Meeting of Library Connection held at the Farmington Library on June 10, 2005. As a result of her presentation, Library Connection voted overwhelmingly to contribute circulation status information to reQuest for all Library Connection libraries.
The beginning of this fiscal year marks the fifth year of the Historic Documents Preservation Grant Program. On July 13, 2005, award letters for FY2006 Cycle 1 Historic Document Preservation grants were sent to grant applicants. A total of 107 municipalities received grants in Cycle 1 amounting to $939,000.
On June 14th, the Office of the Public Records Administrator and State Archives held a full day workshop for Connecticut Town Clerks entitled, "Winning Strategies for Successful Municipal Records Management Programs." The workshop was funded by the Historic Document Preservation Account and was the seventh in a series of workshops for Town Clerks or their designees. The workshop was held at the Institute of Technology and Business Development Conference Center at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT. Dr. Mark Langemo, Professor Emeritus in the College of Business and Public Administration at the University of North Dakota, spoke at the workshop. Mollie Keller, State Library Board Chair and Archivist and Records Manager for the City of Bridgeport attended the workshop and introduced the program.
State Archives
State Archivist Mark Jones chaired a meeting of the Connecticut State Historical Records Advisory Board on May 20th at the State Library Van Block Facility. Archives and Public Records Staff, along with State Librarian Kendall Wiggin and State Library Board Chair Mollie Keller attended the meeting. Mr. Wiggin reported on the State Library Budget.

You didn't think we could end the Every Goal series on such a positive note with Chris Higgins, right? You should know by now that things can never end well for Canucks fans. That is why the last post in our annual off-season Every Goal series will end with all 8 goals the Canucks managed to score during the 2012 playoffs versus the Los Angeles Kings.
On the plus side, we're only looking back at the good parts, when the puck was going into the Kings' net. If you squint and ignore the scoreboard, you can imagine that the Canucks won the series. While you're at it, imagine that the NHL and NHLPA have concluded their CBA negotiations and that there won't be a lockout to start next season.
In any case, the Canucks scored some pretty goals during the playoffs and they deserve to be remembered and highlighted. Seeing them outside of their disappointing context makes them a lot more enjoyable.Continue Reading —›

What's power pop, you ask? It's ridiculously radio-friendly hooks and close vocal harmonies, mixed with a hefty dose of Marshall stacks and relentless four-on-the-floor beat. Perfect for music fans who like a little sugar in their rock! The genre has its roots in the British Invasion sound of the mid-sixties, borrowing heavily from The Who and The Beatles, as well as Americans, The Byrds. Following the demise of the Fab Four at the start of the '70s, a host of new groups hoping to carry the pop torch amped up their jangling Rickenbacker 12-strings and made a bid for Billboard glory. Only a few made it, but the music that came out of the power pop golden era (1973-1982) is still among the catchiest ever committed to wax.
Read on for 20 essential power pop tracks that will be lodged in your brain for the rest of your life. Overly commercial? Maybe. Guilty pleasures? Possibly. But you'll be singing right along, we guarantee it! Be warned: This ear candy is so sweet, you're going to have to brush your speakers before bedtime.

The worsening traffic conditions or the long hours spent just for travelling from the home to the work site have compelled some people, especially singles, to move near their place of work.
Options for single living-longer- staying in a boarding house or dormitory, renting a small room with or without kitchen facilities or refrigerator only - depend on the budget. Whatever arrangement is affordable, it is possible to sustain one's nutritional well-being by being a wise planner and shopper.
For those who opt for preparing home cooked meals, buying food supplies in big quantities maybe practical for a big family but not when you live alone. It is alright to buy in quantities provided that there will be no wastage or spoilage, just enough for your needs and uses, i.e. small cans consumable in one eating. List down and buy only the things you need most. Avail of discounts or sale but be cautious of the expiry dates on the labels.
When vegetables are in season and cheaper, think of various ways of serving them. Like sitaw can be served as ginisa or nilaga, ginataan, adobo, or mixed with sinigang or pinakbet. When planning for one dish-meals like sinigang or nilaga, pork or beef can be simmered at one time to economize on fuel. Store them separately in the refrigerator and cook with your favorite vegetables just before serving.
Extend for days the shelf life of cooked rice by refrigerating it . Take out the desired amount, crush it by hands, and sprinkle with enough water. Cook covered over slow fire in a teflon coated pan. This will prevent sticking or burning and give you rice that is as good as freshly cooked.
For those who are dependent on vended food or fastfood, choose your food wisely. Make sure you have vegetables and fruits in combination with fish, meat or poultry. Avail of the free soup offer. One-dish meals are good buys also. Stay away from fatty and salty foods. Even when you are eating alone, make every meal a special occasion by using colorful placemats and fine eating implements. And when you feel like sharing your home cooked meals, invite someone to share them with you. Who knows, next time you will be cooking for two, then three, then four.

Gateway Community and Technical College's Students Obtaining Success (SOS) focuses on supporting students who are experiencing academic difficulties. We help students that are at-risk, struggling in their classes, have a GPA below 2.0, are on financial aid 'warning', are on a financial aid SAP appeal, or have been re-instated to the college.
Poor academic performance can have many different causes. We help students find those reasons and develop an action plan to improve grades and return to good academic standing. Our goal is to help students succeed and graduate!
SOS helps students identify strengths, develop strategies to be successful, and connect with appropriate campus resources. Students participate in the program, which is tailored to help students with specific needs and issues, for one semester.
Participants must be willing to commit to the requirements of the program and follow a personal plan to help regain good academic standing.
The SOS program is now taking sign-ups for the upcoming semester! Please check out our services for more information on the program and then Sign Up for SOS.
