Dam it up.
My Korean in-laws threw a birthday party for the matriarch of the family. We got invited along and brought the kids to a restaurant nearby the local reservoir (Daecheon dam). The food was outstanding. It was the first time I had Japanese style deep-fried ginseng and pumpkin with honey. We ate a full course of fish, rice, and side dishes, and then celebrated by singing "Happy Birthday" in Korean.
My brother-in-law picked us up, and took us to the restaurant, and after the meal he decided to continue on and spend some time with his niece at the dam itself. I haven't been to Daecheon Dam in ages. When I went there it was for a school trip, or maybe when I knew someone with a car, which was nearly a decade ago.
The area near the dam has been very well developed. There is a separate (enforced with barriers) bicycle lane along the river to the dam the entire way, with lots of people. I think it would be a fairly long ride to try with the kids, but some day when they are older, or have a card, we might give it a shot. We spotted a place on the river with paddle boats as well, and were already making plans to check that out some weekend since that was more accessible for us.
The dam had a "rest stop" area with a convenience store and some water shooting fountains for Glow to enjoy. Her uncle took her around while I bought snacks to beat the heat. We also walked up the mountain to look down from the dam proper, which wasn't a big deal, especially after he mentioned Niagara Falls in conversation. No sir, doesn't compare.
We took a stroll around the "Water Museum", which has a humiliating "How much water do you weigh?" exhibit. Ugh. My daughter thought I got the "high score". Ha ha. (sulk)
We eventually set back for home and had a nice country drive through the mountains. It was almost nice enough for me to consider owning a car in Korea some day.

FORKSVILLE - If it could be done in the snow, it was something people could do at Sullivan County's Winterfest.
The annual daylong celebration of cold and ice, held on Presidents' Day weekend, is the main fundraiser for the county's Kiwanis Club.
Hundreds came to Camp Brule on a clear and plenty cold day last weekend to fish, ski, sled, sculpt or take a dip in Elk Lake.

Those enjoying a day at frozen Elk Lake during the annual Sullivan County Winterfest included Bob Salaki, of Williamsport, shown creating an ice sculpture.
The Winterfest Polar Bear Plunge had 36 people take the dive, and plunger Maciah Fitzgerald, of Mildred, won the big prize, a Polaris all-terrain vehicle donated by Robin Real Estate, of Eagles Mere.
In the process, Fitzgerald raised $817 in donations to the Kiwanis Club from area businesses.
Polar plungers had to raise at least $100 to jump and earned one ticket in the prize raffle for every $500 they raised.
Ice sculptors chipped away throughout the day, then their ephemeral creations were auctioned off for charity.
"We had a 300-pound chunk of ice that takes 72 hours to make," said ice maker and sculptor Bob Salaki, of Williamsport. "These are sculptures that people pay $250 or $300 for if they want them for a wedding."
"This is about all the ice I sculpt all year," said Drew Ditzki, of Colley, who usually sculpts in wood. "If I had access to ice I'd do more - it's a lot easier than wood, and a lot cleaner, too."
Out on the ice, Nellie Pennella pushed the concession sled around to the fisherpeople.
"I went around three times," she said. "It took me a long time the first time around, in the morning - everyone wanted some breakfast."
The fishing was only so-so for Winterfest this year.
"It's the first time we've ever been here for Winterfest," said Carl Klopp, of Eagles Mere. "We didn't get many bites, but out here there are no bad days."
"We come up here every year, but they weren't biting too good today," said Ed Fedrow, of Dallas. "Just got one little pickerel big enough to keep."
Brendan McCandless and Caitlyn Triolla, of Doylestown, were visiting their grandparents and took an improvised shanty - an E-Z Up wrapped in plastic tarp - onto the ice.
"It's working pretty well," McCandless said. "The tent flexed a little bit, but we're warm in here."
Inside, vendors of snack foods, scarves, honey, artwork, and more showed their wares all day, along with live music, and all three meals were served to the hungry.
Outside, other attractions were horse-drawn wagon rides, sled dog races, human "sled dog" races, cross-country skiing and pond ice skating.
"We wanted to come out and see what people do here," said Gerard Dinares, one of a group of four Manhattanites who were spending the weekend in Laporte. "We wanted to be in the human dog sled ... and it is cold."

CLEMSON Unlike last year, there was no signing day drama at Clemson. Nearly all of Clemsons 20 signees Wednesday had committed months ago.
But Clemson did put the finishing touches on its second straight top 10 recruiting class, the first time thats happened since the late 1980s under coach Danny Ford. After signing a consensus top 10 class last year, the 2012 Clemson class ranked No. 7 in the country, according to ESPN.
Wednesday was less about sweaty-palmed moments and last-minute decisions and more about Clemson filling significant needs along its offensive and defensive fronts. Half of Clemsons 20 signees are linemen, a critical influx of talent considering Clemson graduates three starters from both the offensive and defensive fronts.
The lines were a major area of emphasis and we did an outstanding job filling those needs, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. We are going to have youth on the fronts on both sides. Nothing is set in stone (regarding the depth chart) so there will be opportunity.
Swinney said he was most excited about having a program-record eight early enrollees in this class.
Four of those players are offensive linemen.
They will have a spring practice to begin learning the offense.
The early offensive line enrollees include four-star tackle Isaiah Battle, who has the frame (6-7, 270) and athleticism to play left tackle; Jay Guillermo, ESPNs No. 1 center prospect; and Oliver Jones (6-6, 320).
The Tigers lone late addition was 6-3, 306-pound guard D.J. Reader, who is perhaps the most interesting prospect in the class, because he will also play baseball at Clemson. Reader can throw in the low 90s as a right-handed pitcher and also plays first base.
Swinney said Reader picked Clemson in part because Swinney allowed former starting quarterback Kyle Parker to play baseball and football in 2009 and 2010.
Some of the enthusiasm for Clemsons class was eroded by division rival Florida State, which will challenge Clemsons young linemen in the coming years with the No. 1 defensive tackle (Eddie Goldman) and defensive end (Mario Edwards).
Clemson added three defensive tackles in the class and the 6-4, 290-pound Carlos Watkins, a four-star prospect, is the best of that group and should help immediately.
Swinney said four-star defensive end Shaq Lawson could also play early.
Clemsons other area of need is running back.
Swinney said suspended running back Mike Bellamy is on track to rejoin the team in the spring, but also noted four-star signee Zac Brooks, a hybrid running back and receiver, is enrolled and could immediately help at running back.
Clemson also added four-star signees like quarterback Chad Kelly, wide receiver Germone Hopper and defensive back Travis Blanks, the No. 2 safety in the country according to ESPN.
We are built to make a run, Swinney said. We are building it through recruiting.
Chad Kelly is the perfect fit for the Tigers' offense under coordinator Chad Morris. 'He has the highest ceiling, athletically, of this (QB) group,' ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer said of Kelly. 'He's a tremendous athlete.' It's unlikely Kelly pushes starter Tajh Boyd in 2012 but don't be surprised if Morris creates some packages for Kelly to run this fall. He could be the face of the program down the road.
The biggest loss occurred last month when five-star DE Jonathan Bullard chose Florida over Clemson. Bullard was thought by some to be leaning toward the Tigers.
Look for four-star defensive end Carlos Watkins to play early. The 6-4, 290-pound lineman is so athletic his high school coach occasionally lined him up as a wide receiver last fall.
Most recruiting services ranked safety Travis Blanks as the top player in the Clemson class. ESPN ranked Blanks as the No. 2 safety in the nation.

Evans Season in Jeopardy
Tyreke Evans left Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a concussion and is having X-rays taken currently to see if he has a fractured jaw according to the Kings' broadcast crew. Needless to say he will not return, and his season would likely be over if he suffered a fractured jaw.
Elsewhere around the NBA:
Phoenix: Robin Lopez took advantage of the Jazz's small lineup on Friday, scoring 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting with 10 rebounds, no assists, one steal, and four blocks in 34 minutes. Mehmet Okur (stomach virus) and his backup, Kyrylo Fesenko (fouls), both exited the game early which left Utah Jazz with just Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap to defend the paint. It's good to see him get back on track, but we'd like to see him do it against a team with their frontcourt in tact.
Phoenix: Leandro Barbosa played just 11 minutes in Friday's win over the Jazz, scoring four points on 1-of-2 shooting with two rebounds, one assist, and one 3-pointer. His return-game on Tuesday yielded a decent stat line because the benches were emptied during a blowout, but this game is more in line with what to expect, at least for the time being. He's not worth adding unless he shows that he's ready to produce.
Utah: Sundiata Gaines may have passed up Ronnie Price for backup point guard duties, as he played over Price during the second half of Friday's game and finished with eight points on 2-of-4 shooting with four rebounds, four assists, and three steals in just 12 minutes. Price had just two points and a turnover in nine minutes of run. Gaines' line is stat-packed for just 12 minutes of run, but the only reason it's generating a blurb is the fact that Deron Williams is banged up, and if he gets a day off in the future it could be Gaines, and not Price, that reaps the benefits.
Washington: Andray Blatche played through his ankle sprain and had 12 points, five rebounds and a steal in 36 minutes on Friday night. It's Blatche's worst game since he entered the starting lineup in early February, and the ankle is likely to blame. The good news is that he played a full complement of minutes and didn't suffer a setback.
Portland: Marcus Camby had 19 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in Friday's win over the Wizards. It was Camby's best game in a Portland Trail Blazers uniform and his minutes are on the rise. After playing 36 on Sunday, the veteran logged 36 again tonight.

Reflections on a research visit to the Silukhanyo Reading ClubPosted on Monday, October 29th, 2012 under Blog, Recent Posts.
Malusi Ntoyapi works with PRAESA on the Nal'ibali reading-for-enjoyment initiative as a reading club mentor. Siukhanyo Reading Club is a Khayelitsha-based reading club, which meets every Saturday morning with a group of five volunteers and up to 60 children. Silukhanyo is one of Nal'ibali's emerging demonstration sites, which means that PRAESA mentors, supports and documents its process. It plays the role of welcoming people to visit, join in and learn about the rewards and responsibilities of running a reading club.
This time around, the purpose of my visit to the reading club was to talk about Nal'ibali bilingual reading-for-enjoyment supplements which get delivered to the club as part of the initiative; using Facebook as a tool to get support and advice and to connect with others; and to do some storytelling mentoring through demonstrations at the reading club.
In the case of Silukhanyo, on the day I visited there were less than 15 children. But small numbers are always good. With a small number you can do lots of different interesting activities. Playing games always work. Volunteers can conduct writing activities – children can write letters to each other and the volunteer and get immediate responses. They can write their journals, recipes, notes, small books, short stories, poems and songs. Well-resourced clubs have CD players; they can write up songs and sing along, listen to audio books/stories and listen to radio and have discussions about what they've been listening to.
On this day at Silukhanyo, children spent time enjoying doing a 100-piece puzzle together. This activity focussed them on team work, attention to details, working under social pressure and using the power of their imaginations. It was a puzzle about sea animals and they got the opportunity to see and learn about different fish. As they were playing together, a conversation was going on about sea animals. Volunteers were also involved and we enjoyed seeing the children working together to achieve their goal as they showed their understanding of the shapes and colours making up the puzzle. This activity took about an hour.
The reading club was also celebrating Heritage day. Thembisa, the lead volunteer, said: "Animals are mostly misunderstood and unappreciated so we took it upon ourselves to talk about sea creatures. Just like people they have rights and most importantly – a story to tell. We did a puzzle activity of sea animals." The focus on animals was to honour our heritage through stories that have animals. Animals in stories and in nature were celebrated.
Lulu told the story of 'The rabbit and the lion' in isiXhosa. She used gestures to create images in the story. The children's eyes were glued to her. This story had been told before, so they anticipated some parts of the story very well.
Lulu and I then read a bilingual book called 'The Little Hare'. Before we read, we talked about the book. Children interpreted the feelings of the rabbit through the book cover and the objects they saw on the cover. Some said "Umvundla ukhathazekile the little hare is sad". They said this because of the way he looked. Some said it was because no one wanted to play with him. This shows how background knowledge is useful in understanding texts. There were a few children who knew the story already and this prepared them for what they could expect on the book. The benefits of reading the same text again are that it allows children to follow the story very well. They joined in with the repetitive phrases. It was fun.
The story has a song too. We knew that the story had a song and arranged it just how we thought Silukhanyo children would love it. The song sounded like a poem, it rhymed. We sang it twice then we opened our hands to invite children to sing with us. However, we didn't prepare the song prior to doing it and when we tried the original tune, it did not work. This suggests to me that when reading a story aloud that has a song, you must understand the children you are reading to and the tune.
In our read–aloud time, I demonstrated the art of reading aloud, bringing the story to life. I did voice variation, engaged the children, dealt with pace, made eye contact and showed the pictures. Reading-aloud is very special for children because it allows them to experience the story. After reading aloud we made connections. Children make connections with the text to their background knowledge during the read-aloud or story told. They might link the text to themselves, world and other texts. Our main text was the 'Little Hare'. We made connections to ourselves. We talked about the times we were feeling sad and what made us feel better. Some children remembered the game we enjoy playing uMvundla-Rabbit. Making connections deepens children understanding of the text better and the feelings of the characters. Connections can be made during the read-aloud and after. The adult models and children will join in.
The last activity of the day was working with the Nal'ibali supplements. We demonstrated how to cut out the stories and talked about what was inside the supplement and how it can be used. Children enjoyed cutting out the story of 'The Snake and the Chief' and other stories. However, we didn't have enough scissors. If we had cereal cardboard we could have done bilingual story cards and covered them with plastic, so that they could be used over and over again. We stored some books in shoe boxes that we got from Lulu. The shoe boxes will be now known as the Nal'ibali Supplement Boxes.
Children enjoy doing these kinds of project activities. They feel happy when they go home with something tangible that they did themselves. It is an empowering experience. After cutting out the supplements storybooks, we cleaned up and the children started reading their stories to themselves.
Children also enjoy being hands on and taking decisions independently. At the reading club we create these kinds of conditions. We immerse, demonstrate and engage children, and in turn, we expect children to be responsible, take decisions and make mistakes that they will learn from. In this process, volunteers are present and praising children for their work. The activities we had on this day, allowed the children to experience those conditions. This is how children learn in an environment that encourages learning in enjoyable ways. Hence we say we must create conducive environments for learning.
The day ended with children taking home supplements. They each took more than one supplement of the different issues. We asked them to give the newspapers to their older siblings and parents to read with them. We encouraged them to keep their newspaper books safe in the way we had demonstrated to them in the supplement session.
I encouraged the volunteers to take pictures during the session too, and to reflect and interact on Facebook. With Lulu, I demonstrated how to take good pictures during the session. Pictures allow people who were not at the reading club to understand what is happening there, they tell a story. So we have to avoid light, look to take interesting shots that can be analysed. Thembisa was keen on changing their Facebook group to a page and she has done so. The Facebook page will now allow volunteers and other people to reflect on the reading club activities and other related issues to literacy. It is a space where people can share ideas and learn from each other. Lulu posts more about literacy activities in her classroom and more at the reading club on her profile. The name has not change it is still Silukhanyo Reading Club.
It was a good session. Children were given Nal'ibali T-shirts. There were only two volunteers Lulu and Tembisa. They said they would like to see management visiting them and participating in the session. The club is doing well. I think it will be nice if children can get snack at the end of the session.

Cruz's reply, while empathetic to the victims, was quite firm. Hell no "But within minutes," Cruz continued, "we saw politicians run out and try to exploit this tragedy, try to push their political agenda of gun control. I do not support their gun control agenda for two reasons: Number one, it's unconstitutional

Kermes scale on bur oak
Defoliation of bur oak in northwestern Minnesota counties by Kermes scale insects of the insect order Hemiptera. One family, the Kermesidae, or gall scales are distinct for their feeding on oak host species. Most scale insects are small, 10mm or less, and may be found on only certain parts of the host plant.
Scale insects are among the most destructive agents on ornamental shrubs and trees. The first-instar nymph called a "crawler" emerges from the female egg sac and inserts its mouth parts into the leaf petiole and begins to feed by sucking plant juices from the petioles causing a disruption of normal sap flow from the leaves. Abnormal growth of the petiole causes a swelling or gall to develop resulting in wilting and discoloration of the leaves. Twig and branch die back are possible, even death of the plant if the scale population is high and the trees are stressed from other factors. Scales and aphids usually become numerous during periods of wet conditions preceded by droughty times. Natural enemies generally provide necessary controls unless the trees have been severely stressed by drought or flooding prior to becoming infested.
Chemical control requires use of a dormant oil such as horticultural oil or insecticidal soap are recommended, and should be applied in the spring during the time of bud-break and repeated after ten days following the first spray to affect the crawlers that hatched after the initial treatment.

But as charitable leaders wonder if donors' capacity for giving can keep up, perhaps it's worth asking what makes them run to their checkbooks in the first place.
There is no shortage of theories, but it helps to look - at who gives and how much.
"Research consistently shows that factors like an individual's age, income and level of education strongly predict giving," said Dr. Patrick M. Rooney, director of research at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.
Recent data from the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study, which now follows 7,500 American households, reveal that both the likelihood of giving and generosity increase with age. Individuals ages 21 to 40 earning $50,000 to $100,000, for example, gave 1.9 percent of their annual income to charity, while people 65 and older in the same income bracket gave away 4.2 percent of their income. And 92 percent of those 65 years and older made at least some donation, compared with 73 percent of people ages 21 to 40 in this income range.
The very rich, it turns out, are not the most generous. Yes, giving increases with income, up to a point. Households with annual incomes above $100,000 gave less than those earning $50,000 to $100,000. For example, those 65 years and older in the $100,000 to $200,000 income range gave 1.5 percent of their income to charity; but those 65 and older who made $50,000 to $100,000 donated 4.2 percent of their income.
Dr. Rooney said that the common belief that whites were more charitable than minorities was false. Data from the Center on Philanthropy's America Gives study, a survey of 4,200 households just after 9/11, showed that after taking education and income into account, there were no significant differences in giving between whites and other ethnic groups. Sex seems to matter, Dr. Rooney said. Single women were significantly more generous, by a 13 percent margin, than single men, after allowing for income and education.
If these data reveal motivations for giving, they are clearly more than financial calculations. After all, households in the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study whose annual income was less than $50,000 gave as generously as those who made more than $100,000.
Why? Consider first altruism and a sense of moral responsibility. A strong case could certainly be made that since people are social animals, giving to others who are victims of disasters allows us to feel connected to a larger community and assert shared values and beliefs.
But if giving were driven just by moral sensibility, how can inconsistencies like the outpouring of donations after 9/11 or Katrina be explained when compared with the relatively little that has been given to the cause of AIDS or famine in Africa, scourges that dwarf anything seen in this country?
Maybe that is the point. If we can identify with the victim, we are more likely to donate. Americans have little problem imagining themselves flooded out of house and home; but how many can relate to a Pakistani villager?
Don't put all your money on empathy, though; too much can actually inhibit philanthropy. In 1991, Dr. Peter E. Warren at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia, tried to increase charitable giving by encouraging empathy with needy people. He sent a letter soliciting donations to a well-known charity to a random sample of 2,648 subjects. The letter either encouraged people to imagine themselves in someone else's position or to consider that their charity would provide concrete help. The empathy manipulation failed. By contrast, people who were told that their donations were most likely to be effective in helping recipients responded by giving more.
In the end, a disaster's ability to arouse emotion probably accounts for much of the charitable impulse. Do people ever become desensitized to suffering, and develop charity fatigue? The relatively meager response to the earthquake that killed thousands in India and Pakistan might be one sign that they do. But it might take another occasion closer to home to tell more certainly whether the charitable impulse is exhaustible after all.

La Roche men hold off Penn State Behrend
La Roche 51, Penn State Behrend 47: At Pittsburgh, David Jackson and Daron Tabron each scored 13 points and the La Roche men's basketball team held on down the stretch to beat Penn State Behrend on Saturday in a battle for the AMCC lead.
La Roche (15-8, 13-3), which shot just 38 percent from the floor and missed all 12 of its 3-point attempts, led by four at halftime, and neither team led by more than six throughout the second half.
Behrend (16-7, 12-4), paced by Nick DeLisio's 17 points, led 39-35 with less than 4 minutes to play, but La Roche answered with a 10-0 run to go up by six with 48 seconds remaining.
Consecutive baskets by Casey Courneen and Russ Conley (13 points) pulled Behrend to within a point with 18 seconds left, but the Big Red went 3-of-4 from the free-throw line the rest of the way to hold on for the win.

Labor Day ushers in for the hunter, the favorite time of year.
Time to get the guns sighted in, turkey calls tuned, hay bales set up for archery target practice and scouting for good locations for tree stands, turkey flocks and doves. It seems that doves just magically show up this time of year and hover enticingly by your back door.
Doves are delicious table fare, but it takes about six of them to make a serving and about 30 shots to bag those six. One of the best ways to find dove hangouts is to drive the back roads looking for doves picking needed grit by the roadsides. Another is to look along power lines - doves delight in lining up on light lines. Good waterholes in proximity to grain fields are dove hotspots but you have to locate them.
Dove hunters spend a lot of time sitting along these places waiting for birds to come swirling along. Dove hunting, like turkey hunting, has picked up devotees in direct proportion to the decline of good pheasant and rabbit hunting.
Some hunters use dove decoys and dove calls. I noticed that, right now, dove decoys are on sale online. Using dove decoys breaks up the monotony of the long, quiet vigils spent straining to hear the faint whistling of wings that alerts the hunter that some doves are flying.
Addicted dove hunters place their decoys in small trees in spots visible to flying doves. The sight of the decoys seems to put nervous birds at ease and they come gliding in to join the decoys. About then, they run into a lot of flying shot, but miraculously, little of the lead hits the mark.
Doves apparently set down on light lines to look over a feeding area before they put down in it. Be reminded not to shoot at birds on power lines. That could get you into big trouble. Of course, the more any particular covey of doves is shot at, the spookier they get and the more the hunter has to camouflage himself.
Dove breasts are easy to sautee in butter or to deep-fry, if you like. Slow cooking is best because such small items will dry out if cooked too fast. Lawrys has a great marinade that is good for all poultry but especially for doves: teriyaki marinade with pineapple juice.
On late summer mornings, just after dawn, I look out my kitchen window and see doves lined up on the electric lines. Soon they will land in my yard, picking grit and whatever else they can find, and I think about what a tasty meal they would make. They are safe, however, in my yard, and probably safe, too, if I were to go afield hunting for them.
Few things are harder to hit than doves. I call them feathered rockets because their speed and aerial antics make them mighty hard to hit. It generally takes six or seven shotgun shells fired to bring down one dove and I believe it. On average, you'll miss a half dozen doves for every one you bag.
Dove hunters wear camouflage clothes and take up posts near flyways, the most likely place where doves flying from one field to another, would cross. Then, like turkey hunters, sitting still is a must. Doves will be spooked royally by fidgeting hunters. Try to position yourself so that your shots will be at birds flying horizontally to you. Shots at these speedsters are difficult enough without trying to bag birds coming straight on.
One piece of equipment that helps a lot is a portable seat. Not the cushion you use for turkey hunting but a small stoool with legs. The portable, pop-out canvas seats are perfect and lightweight. Some hunters tote along a bucket to sit on. Use whatever is most comfortable for you. Choose your set-up for doves with a good background that will help hide your silhouette. Trying to shoot at streaking birds while sitting on the ground is awkward at best. A seat gives you leverage for your feet, a great help when wing-shooting.
Most dove hunters prefer a shotgun with modified choke and shot sized from No. 7 through 9. To have any chance at all, you need a shot pattern that spreads well. When action slows down in the flyways, a group of hunters often spreads out in a field and slowly tramps through, trying to jump the birds up, much like pheasant hunting.
If you have all day to hunt, a combination of tactics probably will offer up the most chances for shots. When a dove drops, keep your eyes peeled on the drop site. Unless you have a retriever along, a dove dropped into grass can be mighty hard to locate.
Remember that to hunt doves, you must have a Migratory Game Bird License. Daily limit for doves is 12 and season hours must be memorized. Dove seasons are always split so consulting the PA, 2011-12 Migratory Game bird Hunting brochure at the Post Office where you purchase your Federal Duck Stamp is a must.

Hey Everyone,
This is my first trip report, unfortunately I only kept good record of my last flight after completeing a two month project in Europe. I was spending 7 weeks on a project in London, however I took several side trips, with flights including BOS-LHR on BA, LHR-FRA-LHR on LH, Mannheim-Munich on the Deutsche Bahn ICE-3, and STN-CIA-STN on FR. This was my first time to Europe, and I have never had such an awesome trip. I was with my best friends and we had a blast. Germany was amazing, especially seeing the town where my family was from, as well as Munich, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Worms, and Trier. The in Munich was far better than any I had in Europe (Sorry Brits, I loved the real ale, but it could't compare to the Geman lagers and Weissbier!) Rome was interesting; there was amazing food and the Colosseum and Vatican were by far the most impressive sites I've seen, however the atmosphere did not impress me, especially the street vendors. The entire city was a big tourist trap and I felt like I was in the Disney version of Italy, not the real Italy. London, where I spent 7 weeks, was unbeleivable. I would live there in a heart beat. Besides the usual sites, I took trips to Oxford, Greenwich, and Camden Town (3 hours before the fire). We stayed in Chelsea, and it sure was a treat seeing Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches daily. Anyways thats the intro, now on to the trip!
Feb 23rd
That morning we (my two friends and I) checked out of the res hall at 10am then went to the Natural History museum, which we hadn't seen yet. It was really cool, and we stayed for a few hours to kill time. My two friends were booked on BA 215, which left for Boston at 4:05, and my plan was to see if I could get standby on that flight. At 12:30 we headed to South Kensington station to catch the Picadilly line to Heathrow.
This is where the excitement? started. The train was lightly packed, so in our car was the three of us, an older couple, and a few random people. We were talking fairly excitedly, as although we were going to miss London, it was good to be going home. Anyways, as we approached Acton Town, the couple informed us that we were on the wrong train, as this one was going the other way at the split. Figures, 7 weeks of taking the Tube and on the last ride we completely zone out and didn't check to where the train was going. We get off, and wait for the next train to Heathrow. Two stops later, the sh*t hit the fan. All of a sudden, my friend is like "Where's my backpack?", which had his computer, passport, and all the important stuff. He had left it on the previous train, and it was the first really bad "oh sh*t" moments we'd had since we got there. We looked at each other, and told him to just get off at the next stop, talk to someone, and they'd radio ahead. There was no use for all of us getting off, so me and my other friend wished him luck and continued to Heathrow. We felt wicked bad, but honestly there was nothing we could do to help and it would only cause more problems if we all missed our flights.
We got to Terminal 4, and while my other friend checked in, I went to the Ticketing counter to get put on standby. After waiting in a short line, I talked to the BA rep who put me on standby for BA215, but also kept my reservation on BA239 which left shortly after 7. Then it was off to the check-in desk, who printed my out a standby card, and also tagged my two bags so I could load them up quickly. She said I'd have to check in at 315 to see if I made the flight. My friend was already through security and was waiting for me, however I had to way to contact him so instead I just sat and waited for two hours. It was then I realized I had left my passport at the desk, and sheepishly went back to retreive it where I got a mocking reprimand from the CSR. Finally at 315, I went back to the desk which now had 4 couples in front of me, all trying to go Boston. Great, I'm never going to make this flight I thought. They called each of us to separate counters, where we eached waited with our own CSR, praying that we'd be the one to make the flight. I asked the agent what the chances were, to which she replied "not good". Seconds ticked by after the flight closed to see who would make it, and finally she glanced up and smiled and said "you made it." "Do I have to sprint?" I asked, and she said "You're at gate B-1, which is a shuttle bus. I would if I were you." I was off like a gunshot, racing towards security. I got in the short line, where I wanted to punch the guy in front of me. Seriously, if you wait in the entire line, and don't realize until you get to the front that you have to take off your jacket and shoes, you should have to go to the end. Thats ridiculous. I had everything off and in a bucket within 30 seconds of getting in line, yet somehow I set the detector. I got patted down, and then let go, It must have been a button on my jeans or something. I didn't have time to put on my belt or tie my shoes, as I kept running. Luckily B-1 was closer than I thought, and holding my pants to keep them from falling down I handed my boarding pass to the agent and got on the bus. Still sweating from running I breathed a sigh of releif that I had made it.
Boeing 777-236ER
Gate B-1
Sched: 4:05
Act: I forgot, pretty close to that
Arrived 6:25PM
I got out of the bus, which was parked next to a Qantas 747-400ER.
As I was walking up the stairs, I took a shot of the mighty Trent, however the glass on the airstars was pretty foggy.
At this point I looked at my seat assignment for the first time, which was 13K. Thats seemed pretty close to the front, but there's no way she bumped me up; at the ticketing desk the guy said nothing was available in WT+, even when I offered to pay the difference. I boarded, and sure enough I was in the second row of World Traveller Plus. Score! My seatmate was an guy in his late forties, but must be prett athletic as the only thing he ate or drank were two strawberry protein shakes. I took a few shots, and was impressed with the legroom.
The Seat:
Blue/Purple fabric with a winged headrest, although it didn't like to stay up all the way. (I'm 6'4" and my head is always taller than the seat. There were controlls on the lower left for recline, lumbar support, and footrest, and a cuphold and remote on the right side. This was my only gripe with the seat: although the pitch is good, my legs hit each armrest, causing either the footrest to pop out uncommanded, or the channel on the IFE to change. Both were very annoying, and the seat was so tight it actually became painful and I had to shift. I am by no means fat, but because the armrests go straight to the floor, you're legs hit them and they cannot be raised. This made the seat seem smaller than it actually was.
We pushed back and taxied out on time. I was excited/saddened to see G-YMMM sitting next to the hangar, as that was the plane I flew from BOS-LHR. It was strange, from a distance there wasn't that much damage, the only way I was able to tell it was MMM was she was sitting much lower, and as the angle changed I could see the flap damage and the gear poking through the wing. She treated my well on the way over, hopefully the cause of the crash is determined soon. Taxing took about 15 minutes, and after a brief hold, we were off.
The IFE on this flight was terrible. The sound kept cutting in and out, and at some points would make such a horrible screech that you would see every one in the cabin fling their headsets off. Also, channels kept cutting in and out. I spent most of my time on the crosswords and the map and reading. I haven't tried the new Delta IFE, but assuming its like the Song version its far better than that on BA.
After the seatbelt sign was turned off, I went back to the WT cabin to see my friends, and see if they all made the flight. Sure enough, as soon as I walked behind the curtain I was greated by a big "HEEEY!!!" from both of them, who were sitting across the aisle from each other. We swapped stories, turns out my friend had left his bag at South Kensington, which was actually a lifesaver as they were able to locate it. He had to go all the way back there, but was still able to make it on time. We chatted for a while, then I went back to my seat for dinner.
Dinner choices were Bangers and Mash or Chicken Casserole. I got the chicken, and it was delicious, however whatever kind of salad they sereved was terrible. It had very fishy fish, and some sort of odd "cube-and-mayonaise" dressing. Also, I'm not a big fan of rice pudding, but I was starving so I ate it anyway. I had a cup of coffee, and watched a bit of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
About two hours out I went to the lav and said hi to my friends again, and a sandwhich service was served. It was a chicken caesar and a cheese and tomato, but I ate them together and they were delicious, along with the grapes and lemon cake. OJ service followed, and I just watched the Canadian scenery until it got dark.
I took a video of the landing, however its really dark and without sound when I play it on my computer, I've gotta fix that. we came in from the north and landed on 22R. After a short taxi to the gate, I got off and waited for my friends to catch up, then we went to Passport control (which was waaaay easier than everyone made it out to be) and then to pick up our bags. There was a breif delay in unloading do to the snow, but it wasn't that bad. We then breezed through customs, and were all greeted by our families in the Terminal E reception area.
I hope you enjoyed the report, I sure enjoyed the trip. Thursday I'm going to visit my girlfriend in DC, I kind of like this trip report thing so I'll try and make one of that short flight.

Fire damages bedroom at east Erie home
A fire damaged a second-story bedroom Saturday night at a residence in the 2600 block of Wayne Street.
There were no injuries, Erie Deputy Fire Chief Mike Balliett said.
Crews were sent to the two-story home at about 8:22 p.m. Firefighters found flames inside the bedroom. They had the blaze under control in about 10 minutes.
Fire damage was contained to the bedroom, Balliett said. There was smoke damage to the second floor and the attic.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Why dont Americans just scrap NFL, NBA, MLB and join the rest of the world with footb
Why not be normal and play football instead? Scrap all your dumb american sports, Basketball can stay though, and come play a sport the rest of the world does.

Because nobody will show it on TV.
If Americans cant stuff commercials into your face every time-out or after every touchdown or punt then it will never be popular.
Am I the only one annoyed at the constant commercials and TV commercials in NBA/NFL?

Americans are already playing european football. It's getting bigger and bigger i think, but of course compared to their national sports it's small fry. But i don't believe americans should drop their traditional sports in favour of a sport that is quite 'new' to them in terms of national professional soccer. I think they can do both and what their american national team lacks in talent, they make up in determination and grit. Just like the japanese and south korean teams; they really play hard and work together as a team.
I think it's just ignorant to come here and post about a certain country and complain about their sports and then give no reason why they should drop it for another sport other than the fact that the other sport is the biggest sport in the world. Many americans already watch soccer and it will grow and grow. Already plenty of americans know who man utd and barcalona are compared with, say 20 years ago. No need to force people to choose between sports when they can have both!

Do the Aussies have to drop the million different versions of Rugby that they play. Do the Canadians have to drop Ice Hockey? Soccer is already growing in size here, leave it be. Why China sucks so bad at it should be more of a concern.

Im surprised that Rugby isnt played in USA or is popular.
Its a more manlier and tougher sport than the NFL and it shows who the real men are.

But at the same time if you were to get a Rugby player and put him in certain positions in American football he wouldn't have the size to compete. I mean defensive positions not offensive. I could see a Rugby player being a WR or a TE since that position requires speed and stamina.
When I really try to compare the two Rugby requires a lot of stamina and grit. The NFL requires grit and may have breaks but that has to do with strategy. Getting that football across the field requires strategy. That is why the players line up a different way after each play.
But if you like Rugby more then more power to you. I probably would like it more if they showed it more over here in the States.

The hypophysis cerebri, or pituitary body, is currently described as being composed of two lobes; the anterior, larger lobe, is embryologically described as arising from the epithelium of the mouth cavity, its glandular structure resembling in many respects the structure of the thyroid gland. It is stated by Haller1 that it possesses an incomplete system of ducts that open between the meninges. In a recent article, W. H. Howell2 maintains that, properly speaking, the term hypophysis cerebri should be restricted to this lobe. This significance is now given the term by most morphologic writers, but human anatomy commonly includes the so-called posterior lobe as well.
The posterior lobe lies upon and is partially covered in by the hypophysis proper, and it will be recalled that it is connected by a stalk to the infundibulum, and that embryologically it is regarded as an outgrowth of this part of the

Ousted From the Family Mansion? Get Your Lid Hand Ready!
You can't go home againnot after the old pile's been converted into a showcase for dreadful lumpen drama (like Ramp, about the fight for handicapped access, and the upcoming The Rusting Tractor); not when the Bosnian cook's extended family turns out to be living secretly on the grounds; and certainly not when the miles of bandages about your head cause people to upset their drinks. Dubliner Paul Murray's laugh-laden debut, An Evening of Long Goodbyes, is thankfully more like four or five long evenings' worth of companionable reading. Narrated by the Woosterish Charles Hythloday, the story expands from top-notch drawing-room farce to satirize IT recruitment and DJ culture, admit surprising gradations of sadness, and for good measure, provide a moving thumbnail bio of doomed beauty Gene Tierney.
Having wounded his noggin in a botched fake suicide (never mind), Charles is as mummified in appearance as he is cocooned in languid nostalgia. For him, the faintest notion of earning a living conjures up a shuddering scenario in which he has to work, for some reason, at a jar factorythe most grimly hilarious vision of manual labor since Charlie Bucket's father screwed the caps on toothpaste tubes. When the time finally comes for Charles to start punching the clock, the temp agent ominously inquires if he speaks Latvian. Though his aristocratic worldview proves untenable, work is still a four-letter word in Evening. "It's a nightmare from which I am trying to awake," as one character puts it, speaking not, as S. Dedalus did, of history, but of her gig as an antler-wearing barista. Someone else downshifts from aspiring to be the Irish Odets to "writing copy for the Snickers website." Foreigners toil in a bread factory that's like an "industrialized Hieronymous Bosch painting." In a sharp bit of social vivisection reminiscent of Jonathan Coe's masterpiece, The Winshaw Legacy, Dublin is a hair-raising mix of telecom-bubble riders and heroin addicts. But for all Murray's finger-pointing, he's generous in his affection, even for the beautiful but vapid young woman who asks, "Did you ever hear that thing, if you love somebody, set them free? It was in that ad for ice cream? With the talking bear?"

The good news: RALs seem to be on decline and (finally) falling out of favor with regulators. The National Consumer Law Center and the Consumer Federation of America said this week that Americans took out $1.1 billion RALs and Refund Anticipation Checks last year. That's down from $1.6 billion (just loans) in 2004, the groups say. Prices for the loans also are dropping.Jackson Hewitt Tax Service - the nation's second largest preparer -- has seen its stock tank ever since it disclosed on Christmas Eve that regulators barred its lender from offering RALs. In Ohio, "Instant Tax Service" scrambled to tell customers they wouldn't be getting their RALs anytime soon, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. Turns out the company uses the same lender, Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, as Jackson Hewitt to provide the loans. So much for its slogans of "Cash Back Fast" and 'Let us show you the money!''
The Internal Revenue Service earlier this month said it would take a closer look at the loans. Several recent government studies have raised questions about their marketing.
Illinois ordered currency-exchange stores in November to stop offering the loans until they register with the state.
What do you think? Are these worthwhile products for people without bank accounts and poor credit? Or should the IRS ban them, as consumer advocates suggest? Let me know if you've ever taken one out.
In the meantime, here's more info on the loans and how to avoid them.
UPDATE: McClatchy reports the loans could make a comeback this tax season, given the hurt in the economy. IT reports: "Liberty Tax Service, the nation's fastest-growing tax preparation chain, sales of refund loans are already running 10 percent ahead of last season, said John Hewitt, the company's founder and chief executive."
H&R Block, meanwhile, is moving to capitalize on Jackson Hewitt's pain.

Skip to comments.Axelrod Wont Say Mandate Is A Tax
Posted on 06/29/2012 8:08:08 AM PDT by Nachum
Axelrod spinning
(Excerpt) Read more at freebeacon.com ...
BFT = Big F*****g Tax
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Does it matter what Axelrod calls it? In matters of law, the SC judgment will have to be taken into account, and it considers this a tax.
Romney had better remind America every day until then. In spite of the fact the media will no doubt call him a hypocrite he had better rub these bastards' noses in it.
They got what they wanted—Obamacare to the Supreme Court. NOW they have to abide by the ruling just like the rest of us. The Supreme Court said it WAS A TAX. Let it be written, let it be done. Then it's a tax. Who is sorry now?
And the sheeple will buy it....people are delusional if they really think this will make people head to DC with torches and pitchforks demanding they get rid of ObamaCare...ain't gonna happen....Roberts was the last line of defense, and he blew it.
Finding it unconstitutional would have allowed him to blame the court and carry on as usual.
Finding it constitutional would have vindicated him.
Finding it a tax removes the possibility of blaming the court, and places the credit for the biggest tax increase in the history of the world squarely upon his shoulders.
Ubama is screwed, and we will have a solidly GOP Congress to undo everything he did.
Talk Radio played the Stephanopoulos interview over and over yesterday where Obamah lied over and over again that his ObamaCare was not a tax.
And yesterday the Supreme Court ruled he lied.
The Supreme Court ruled that Obama and the Democrats are liars, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Awfulrod is just proving it once again.
>> Does it matter what Axelrod calls it?
Yeah, it matters what Barky's Gang calls it, if we're supposed to derive all those *political* benefits that are hidden in the penumbras of the crappy decision, according to the spinning pundits...
remember, one of those political bennies is hanging that TAX around their pencil necks.
But if the 'rats won't own up to what SCOTUS actually said themselves, do you honestly think that the media (or the feckless Republicans) will hold their feet to the fire?
Nah. They'll have their cake and eat it, too.
The Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare is nothing more than a massive tax. The biggest tax hike in the history of the world, in fact. And the ONLY way to get rid of it is to vote Obama out of office.
All Taxes are mandated. Now we split hairs with a bent nose thug like that idiot.
Remind folks every day of the TAX & play all those lovely videos of Obama (in 'preacher' mode) railing on and on about how nobody who makes less than $250K is going to see "one penny" or "one dime" of a tax increase. People hate taxes which is why Obamatax didn't pass, but Obamacare did.
Axelrodent is a lying slimeball ... makes real rats look good.
And we will know who is worth voting for by who shoves it up Axelrod's... It's high time to make your congress critter aware that we aren't happy with ObamaTAX and we want them to stand up for change. Their choice. They change or we replace them. Not a threat, just a simple notice.
hey Axelrod
It's a TAX and the whole world heard it.
But Roberts outsmarted you, LOL, and gave all the dimocrats a tax to defend.
I think it's hilarious.
I wanted to hear him say, right out of the gate, that this is the biggest tax increase the WORLD has ever seen. Can someone get to him and tell him to make that his slogan for the next 5 months?
Prediction: Obama will continue to insist it's not a tax.
Axelrod doesn't have to say it's a tax, Roberts and the SCOTUS said it for him.
IMO, we can't fix this in the fall at the ballot box. It will take other means.
Here's a good one ..... Obama is thinking he dodged a bullet yesterday, the bullet that he spent his first three years ignoring the failing economy to push through healthcare that ends up not constitutional.
Yup, he dodged that one, but he didn't avoid this one (which I think is worse):
(From Hot Air:) "when Americans left the workforce by the millions in despair over a lack of job creation in 2009 and 2010, Barack Obama spent his time focused not on job creation but on raising taxes on the middle class."
so is this an extra tax on top of the 500 billion of taxes built in to Obamacare ?
... with 'you'll have to pass it to find out whats in it' played over & over in the background.
Throw in the graphic of Pelosi marching through a Tea Party rally with her giant gavel.
If only I had a few extra bucks to put something like that together.
Exactly right, MM!!
Now is the time to sign up/go to MSM sites and post this fact....IT'S THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY!! - on every lib comment.
ObamaTax IS a BFD!!
It was found Constitutional. The details are irrelevant. The President can go ob saying it's not a tax. Doesn't matter at all. Romneycare has been preserved.
How about flyers/pdf's with that Piglosi/gavel pic, with "ObamaTax...the BIGGEST tax increase in history. They had to pass it, for us to find out!"...we can print and hand out/leave behind?
So we shouldn't bother voting for a GOP-dominated congress that can repeal it all?
We should just pout like spoiled little babies and give up because we didn't get exactly what we wanted RIGHT NOW?
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision that President Obama's health care law is constitutional keeps it alive for now. But it's important to remember that the law has already lost in the court of public opinion. The Supreme Court ruling is a temporary reprieve more than anything else.
Also, in my 'ad', I should have said: 'massive NEW tax'. People hates taxes and tax hikes, but they hate new taxes most of all.
If it is a tax, then the Court has placed the entire thing in the purview of House Ways and Means. That is the tax writing committee. That means that HW&M determines how the thing is funded, if it is at all. Further, tax law requires only a simple majority in the senate to pass/overturn.
The question I have still remains: how can any kind of bill pass out of the congress and just randomly be called a Tax?
hates = hate
"Prediction: Obama will continue to insist its not a tax"
Yep. The dims will continue their Big Lie strategy and dare the MSM to call them out. Now we will see the journolisters go into high gear and try to pull that sorry kenyan's skinny behind over the finish line.
The kenyan won't have any problem fundraising now. All those with their fingers in the Obamacare pie stand to make hundreds of billions. They will now pour the payola into the kenyans campaign and super pacs.
I have to give the dims credit for reviewing why hillarycare failed and ruthlessly pounding obamacare through. They got it through congress and co-opted industry. Pure National Socialism. If only the GOP fought like that.
Axlerod says it's a penalty.
You know who will be penalized?
Parents of young adults under 27.
I guarantee the penalty will be levied on the parents of the 20 something year old adults so that the young heads full of mush can feel that they got "Free" health care.
Assholerod once more demonstrates why the image of the Democrats is a Jackass.
We may even see the Malignant Narcissist himself come unglued. He's used to running against don't-you-dare-say-his-middle-name McCain. Once the Superpacs start hitting Obama where it hurts, he probably won't even be able to *remember* his middle name.
Need any more proof? We've got Barry right where we want him.
But the GOP hasn't had the stomach for a fight since Lee Atwater died. As bad as things have gotten its long past time for them to grow some 'nads.
Axelrod is an insidious moron.
Fortunately there are private interests/concerns that recognize Obama for the unparalleled, unmitigated disaster he is. They will lead the charge against him, and I would imagine it will be devastating.
How can he say it is not a tax when the supremes said it was?
Is there any evidence they will repeal it? Or is there evidence they will increase it?
Sounds like you should vote for Obama again.
You can vote for Obama you want, it's not going to make much difference. Romney, Obama, Bush,they are all the same. Obama modeled his presidency on everything Bush did. Romney's just the least intelligent of the three, and he unleashed this fascist healthcare bill on us.
Now THAT'S funny! I can't believe I hadn't seen that before now.
I just came up with that one. It seemed to fit so I went with it.
"All taxes are mandated."
Apparently, some are more mandated than others. An excerpt from a piece Mark Levin linked to recently (source AP, via NPR):
"The law, however, severely limits the ability of the IRS to collect the penalties. There are no civil or criminal penalties for refusing to pay it and the IRS cannot seize bank accounts or dock wages to collect it. No interest accumulates for unpaid penalties.
So how can the IRS enforce the mandate? Scary letters and threats to withhold tax refunds.
The law allows the IRS to withhold tax refunds to collect the penalty, and most filers get refunds. This year, 77 percent of the 135 million individual income tax returns processed by the IRS qualified for a refund. The average refund: $2,707.
For those who don't qualify for a refund, a stern letter from the IRS can be effective, even if it doesn't come with the threat of civil or criminal penalties, said Elizabeth Maresca, a former IRS trial attorney who supervises the Tax & Consumer Litigation Clinic at the Fordham University law school.
"Most people pay because they're scared, and I don't think that's going to change," Maresca said."

Seven adults and six children had to be relocated early Saturday when a vehicle crashed into a three-story building at Martin Luther King Drive and Union Street in Jersey City, officials said.
The fire department determined the building was unstable after a man smashed his car into the side of the building at 471 Martin Luther King Drive at the corner of Union Street around 1:30 a.m., Fire Director Armando Roman said.
The man was driving on Martin Luther King Drive before the wreck, officials said.
After the crash, the man got out of his car and attempted to flee the area, but EMS workers found him a block away and took him to the Jersey City Medical Center with minor injuries, officials said.
The Red Cross relocated the displaced residents, Roman said.

An iteresting fact about Cartoons.
The more simplified something get's the more iconic it becomes. Because Toon Link is more cartoonish than a realistic looking Link, Toon Link's simple design is more recognizable and distinguishable. This is in the more general sense because those of us who play the games have a different understanding, however the average individual would find Toon Link's design more impressionable.
Scott McCloud talks a lot about this
Spoiler Alert!
Of course there is more about it and he goes into depth.

Usually I spread this on homemade flax crackers, romaine leaves or on an Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain tortilla and top with sweet onion, sultana raisins, julienned sweet bell pepper, a thinly sliced mound of Napa cabbage and grated carrot. Yum! Enjoy!

Oh, and we also used 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar in place of Rice Vinegar since we didn't have any.
Wow, this is an excellent pate in Nori Rolls with Spinach. I did tweak it a bit, like use 1/2 Cup Almonds & 1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds instead of Cashews and add a Stalk of Celery. Who would have ever thought that Mint would work so perfectly with a Salty Pate- Thanks!

Let's Get Together Thursday – Collaborating with Your Local Public Librarian August 28, 2014Posted by Jennifer Laboon in Check this out!.
Tags: collaboration, Let's Get Together Thursday, public librarians, school librarians, SPLC
Today's guest blogger is Joann Absi, Media Coordinator at Eugene Ashley High School and President of NCSLMA, posting on behalf of the AASL/ALSC/YALSA School/Public Library Cooperation (SPLC) Interdivisional Committee.
A new school year is about to begin and as you start to get your library organized, get updates on the students you will have this year and reconnect with your faculty, don't forget to touch base with one more person – your local public librarian. She or he can be a great asset in helping you to develop programs during the school year, meet the afterschool needs of your students and with coordination provide extra resources for your teachers. Set aside some time to discuss each other's collection to see what resources you both have to offer your students and faculty, what types of programs you would like to collaborate on to enrich your students learning experiences, and the type of services the public library is interested in providing.
The North Carolina School Library Media Association (NCSLMA) and the North Carolina State Library Commission's Youth Services Advisory Committee conducted a joint survey for school librarians and teachers to find out which types of services we were interested in having provided. We did one survey for elementary librarians and one for secondary librarians. We received many good suggestions which we have made available to both public librarians and our school librarians to make use of during the school year. You might consider doing this in your state or county to get things moving.
Here are a few ideas to suggest to your public librarian to begin the year:
- Parent information session during open house or a parent night
- Teacher information session during the beginning work days about services available for them
- Elementary level: Story time or book talk event to begin the year with and introduce the public librarian to the students  (Book talks are great at any level!)
- Middle School level: Assistance with Battle of the Book programs
- High School level: Senior/Capstone Project information session to introduce seniors to the resources available at the public library
- Discuss major topics or events that your teachers cover during the year and see how each of you can address these topics
- Look into grants that you can jointly apply for
- Library card promotion program in September
If you haven't worked with your public librarian before, this might be one of the strongest new collaborators you can have. Share some ideas that you have found successful.
