BurgerFi puts a unique twist on the American hamburger experience. Brought back are the juicy, beefy burgers popular in the 1950s and '60s, but with a modern flair. Offered is a wide array of gourmet toppings. Add to that homemade fries, and desserts and beverages that will wow the pickiest. Everything is natural, and presented in a high tech, casually urban eco-friendly environment.
Here, you'll get freshly grilled Angus beef from grass-fed cows, hand-cut fries, Kobe hot dogs, remarkable veggie burgers, and a choice of over 100 beverages. Chairs are made from recycled coke bottles, tables and walls from compressed recycled wood, and there's a "Big Ass" (that's the brand name) ceiling fan that conserves electricity.
The touch-screen Freestyle Beverage Machine (really fun to use!) offers endless flavors in soda, waters, lemonades, and power drinks that can be mixed together for unlimited combinations. BurgerFi also serves bottles of Boylan soda, old time root beer floats, shakes, Mexican Coca Cola with natural cane sugar, craft beers, and local wines.
The vision of BurgerFi originated in Florida, where a best seller at a fine restaurant was the Angus "CEO Burger." While Florida has a handful of locations, and franchises are popping up in other states, New York currently has only two — one in Manhattan, and thanks to Mark Sarro, this one in Oceanside. For the past 15 years, Sarro owned and operated Corner Kitchen in Atlantic Beach, which did extensive catering business. He knows what works, what people enjoy, and was totally impressed by the BurgerFi concept.
You will order at the counter and be called when it's is ready. Everything is made fresh to order.

Red carpet reign: The best-dressed A-list beauties of 2012
It's difficult to forget Angelina Jolie's Oscars moment. When the breathtaking actress struck a pose on the red carpet, showing off acres of leg with a black velvet Atelier Versace dress that was slit to the thigh, the world was instantly transfixed.
But she's not the only stunning celebrity to have made waves with lovely red carpet looks in 2012. Take Gwyneth Paltrow, for example, who at the same event was simply heavenly in an ivory Tom Ford cape that was perfectly complemented by a sleek updo.
The beautiful ladies didn't manage to detract attention, however, from the ever-gorgeous Penelope Cruz, who was channeling a modern-day princess in a powder blue custom Giorgio Armani periwinkle organza, full-skirted gown.
Academy Awards aside, Kate Middleton raised the style stakes when she stepped out for a London Olympic gala concert, stealing the show in a subtly pleated, floor-sweeping teal Jenny Packham creation. She was also showing off a new hairstyle with a rare, intricate updo that put the gown's lacy back detail on display.
We also witnessed Beyonce showing off her fabulous post-baby physique in a seriously dramatic Givenchy gown that featured a black spider's web fishtail gown and a sheer bodice embellished with crystals to cover the singer's modesty.
Keira Knightley, meanwhile, showed off her breathtaking beauty at the LA premiere of Anna Karenina, wearing a light green Erdem dress. The stunning, floor-length creation, which bared her defined collar-bones with its sweetheart neckline, featured blue and white detailing that made for a super elegant touch.
Sporting an aqua-hued, sequin fishtail dress, Sofia Vergara was every inch a magnificent mermaid at the Emmy's. The figure-hugging, Zuhair Murad number made sure to show off the Modern Family star's supermodel statistics to perfection.
Also standing out amongst a sea of A-list beauties in Zuhair Murad this year was Jennifer Lopez, who ensured all eyes were on her at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in a burgundy sequin maxidress that featured a neckline plunging almost to the navel.
And burgundy has also worked wonders for fellow stars, including Spiderman actress Emma Stone. The beautiful redhead, who is dating costar Andrew Garfield, chose an understated, unique and utterly gorgeous gown by Lanvin in the deep berry hue.
Last, but far from least, is Kristen Stewart, who wowed in a series of dramatic dresses during the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II premieres. A stand-out look, however, was the gold Elie Saab that ensured she glistened on the red carpet while posing next to boyfriend Robert Pattinson.

JCS content specialists and instructional coaches had the opportunity to learn together at the Digital Leadership Summit in Murfreesboro earlier this week. Eric Sheninger, renowned educator, author, and speaker encouraged educators to be intentional about authoring the story of their schools.
Inspired by this appeal, the JCS team determined that a social media hashtag should be created for use in sharing and curating social media posts related to the strides that teachers and student are making as they bring the 20/20 Vision for Blended and Personalized Learning in to focus. After a bit of brainstorming and Twitter research, the birth of a hashtag was celebrated. Be on the lookout in your Twitter feed for glimpses of success branded with #jcs2020!

- Singapore Grand Prix
Massa rues missed opportunity
- Race:
- Singapore Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Felipe Massa

- Ferrari
Felipe Massa believes he would have had "a great race" if he hadn't sustained a puncture on the first lap of the Singapore Grand Prix.
Starting back in 13th place, Massa was caught up in the midfield pack through the opening three corners and sustained a puncture after contact at the rear of his car. Having limped round to the pits, Massa then drove an impressive recovery race to finish eighth after a long stint on the supersoft tyres at the end.
Massa admitted that he was perplexed by the difference in performance of his car between Saturday and Sunday, but was pleased to score points.
"Apart from all the problems I had yesterday not to be able to make a [quick] lap, but today it was completely the opposite," Massa said. "The car was very good; I was able to have a good pace all through the race. Looking at what happened at the start I was almost one lap down and then when I was on the track I was able to be one of the quickest cars on the track.
"Even at the end by having the supersoft I did more than twenty laps with the supersoft. I really don't know how it was possible to do that looking at the degradation I expected to have. I think that was very positive to arrive in eighth, I'm sure without this problem in the first corner it would have been a great race for me and for Fernando [Alonso]."
Having come close to a collision with Bruno Senna on the Anderson Bridge, Massa said he was lucky not to damage his car.
"He just pushed his car completely over my car. I was already on his side so just was in the wall, I touched the wall. Fortunately nothing happened with the car."

If they play to their potential, they should be capable of winning this game comfortably. Was impressive display from the backs against Wexford but we were very poor from midfield up only scoring 1-6 even if it was a bad night for football. There was a lot of hype about these lads a few years ago at minor level and they never turned up on the big day V Dublin in a semi final in Tullamore! They need to turn up tomorrow night.
The forwards will have to improve considerably from that game if we are to win but with likes of Ruairi McNamee and Shane Tierney inside, they are capable of doing damage with quick early ball! A scrape over the line will do, God knows the football end of county needs it after last few weeks!

I'm having immense fun with today's Google doodle. As a programmer who learned Z80 without an assembler so had to write out the opcodes long hand and convert in to hex, and calculate the offsets by hand (up hill, in the snow both ways dagnamit) , I absolutely love the type of complexity that can arise out of a relatively simple instruction set. And when it comes to the puzzles set by the Google doodle, they couldn't be simpler.
If you don't want to know how to play the Google doodle, or want to work it out on your own *DO NOT READ THIS POST*.
Still with me? Then we shall begin. We'll start with a (relatively) straightforward puzzle, but one that contains everything you need to know about solving the puzzles:
This is a puzzle at the start. I haven't changed anything. The goal is to make the large number on the tape (the 010110) match the smaller number in the top-right corner (the 00011). You do this by programming the Google Turing Machine. And like many interesting puzzles, the rules are simple, the problems are challenging.
The Rules.
When you hit the big green GO button, the puzzle begins by carrying out the instructions from left-to-right starting at the circle to the right of the GO button. It will look at each circle it comes to, perform the task written on the circle and – unless the instruction says otherwise – move one circle to the right. It carries on in this fashion until it moves off the right hand side.
The Google puzzle can carry out precisely four types of instructions:
- If there is only a number in the circle, the number at the current position is set to that number.
- If there is only an arrow in the circle, the current position is moved to the left or the right depending on the arrow.
- If there is a number in a square with an arrow, the puzzle carries on in the direction of the arrow if and only if the number at the current position is the number in the square (or blank if the square is blank). We'll call this a condition.
- If the circle has a curved arrow (like the yellow circle in the example) then the puzzle carries on by moving back the number of circles in the middle. In the starting example this is two. We'll call this a branch
Believe it or not, with only these few rules, these puzzles represent everything you need to write any program. It is what is known as a Turing machine.
How to solve
The only thing you can change when solving the puzzles are the circles highlighted in yellow. If it's not highlighted in yellow, you can't change it. So in the example above we can only change the branch. If we follow through the logic we can trace out how the program will run:
- START: Condition: go down if the current value is 1. The current value (the number under the rectangle in the center) is 0. So nothing happens, we continue to the right
- Condition: Go down if the current value is 1. The current value is still 0, so we continue to the right
- Condition: Go down if the current value is 1. Once again, it's still 0 so we continue to the right.
- Arrow: Move the current position to the left. Something's changed! This gives us this position:
The current position has moved to the left. But notice also: the value at the current position has changed! So we carry on:
- Branch: Move back two circles. Moving back two circles from the branch takes us back to the third
- Condition: Move down if the current value is 1. Well, what do you know! The current value is 1! So we move down to:
- Arrow: Move the current position to the right, and
- Arrow: Move the current position to the right.
With a blank circle meaning "do nothing", the program now just slides off the end and nothing else happens. The numbers don't match, so the problems not solved.
So how do we go about solving it? Bear in mind that what we want to do is change the number on the tape to match the number in the top corner. In order to change the number on the tape we need to execute a number instruction to make a number change. As it turns out, there's only one of these, right underneath the starting instruction – our first condition. We also know that current value will be 1 by the time we reach the branch (we know this, because we've done a test run, but you can also work it out quite quickly, once you know the rules). We also know that we can change the number of circles the branch moves backwards! What if we do this:
Notice how the branch now takes us straight back to the beginning? Well, this changes everything. Now when we branch we go right back to the first
- Condtion: Move down if the current value is 1. Well, when it reaches that branch this time around, the current value will be 1, so we move down! And a completely different set of instructions is executed:
- Number: Number is zero, so we change the current value to 0. This gives us:
Looks to me like we've solved the problem! Execution continues along the bottom row, but this only moves the current position, it doesn't change the tape. Problem solved!
By using these basic principles it is possible to create arbitrarily complex instructions. Indeed, one of the last puzzles (which I can't now convince Google to serve up) involves shifting the number 1 across in a beautifully crafted loop. This kind of system is what Alan Turing – most famous for his work in cracking the Enigma code – is most well known for in computing circles; it even has a name that you've no doubt heard by now: the Universal Turing Machine. It's a concept that is so essential to modern computer programming and systems design that without it, you wouldn't be able to read this, because there would almost certainly be no general purpose computers.
Incidentally, if you complete all the puzzles, there's an extra treat in store, as Google let it go off an execute a somewhat more complicated program. I'm not certain, but I think it's counting 🙂

Die Tips:
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Use cutting mats that matches size of each die.
- For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
- For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
- Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.
- It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
Use adhesive roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads imbedded between blades and foam. It's normal for threads to get caught where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades never need to be sharpened.

The best meals of the year aren't necessarily about foie gras and truffles, or indulgent tasting menus, or even the technically best cooking of 2011. They're those dinners that surprised and delighted, that wove food and wine and friendship together in a meal that stands crisp and clear in memory.
Some of them are unrepeatable, like the subtle Indian feast a friend cooked or the dinner for more than 100 outside at one long table in front of a historic chateau in France. Or the wild crayfish that a Rioja producer pulled out of a pond next to his winery and cooked up for lunch. The number 10 doesn't begin to cover the best meals I've had this year. After making lists and then other lists, here's my attempt to recount the year's most memorable, in no particular order.
Roast chicken dinner at Farmshop. Sunday nights at Farmshop are devoted to fried chicken, pretty much the same recipe as was served at Ad Hoc when chef-owner Jeffrey Cerciello was Thomas Keller's right-hand man. It's the best. But the bird I'm nominating as one of the 10 best meals is Cerciello's organic roasted chicken. As the centerpiece of one late-summer night's prix fixe menu, it was served family-style on a handcrafted black platter. Golden and crisp, the flesh dense yet moist, each bite was better than the last. It came with roasted heirloom eggplant and an emerald salsa verde studded with pistachio. As a first course, he served rustic chickpea hummus garnished with whole fried garbanzos. Dessert was a round of dreamy lemon custard with crumbly pistachio shortbread. And since Farmshop had just added a la carte options, we ordered a billowy meringue filled with lemon crème fraîche with dark fuchsia huckleberries spooned over the top. We drank a terrific Gamay and sat at the communal table, serving ourselves, lost in talking and eating. It was one of the most relaxed — and delicious — meals I had in a restaurant all year.
Burgers at Short Order. A Saturday night in November, only days after the late Amy Pressman's Short Order finally opened and it was a 45-minute wait (for a burger!). After leaving a cellphone number, we headed over to Barnes & Noble at the Grove as fake snow fell. The phone summoned us back to two seats at the counter inside, where we watched the mixologists at work. Short Order is a grown-up burger joint with serious cocktails, a great soundtrack and a fresh, modern look. The burger to get is Nancy's Backyard Burger (that would be Mozza's Nancy Silverton, who was involved in the project with her old friend). The two of them tested and tested and tested the buns, the beef, the sauces and the fixings, and the result is just about perfect. The shiny brown bun holds its own against the juicy, coarsely ground beef patty loaded up with bacon, Comté cheese, avocado, tomato, onion, iceberg lettuce and spicy mayo. Some of the burgers feature grass-fed beef. There's a pork and a turkey burger too. Short Order spuds, small potatoes smashed just enough to crack them open before they're deep-fried, are like crack potatoes, to dip or not in a sticky delicious aioli. Dessert could be a coffee malt shake or, for just a couple of bucks, a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. Killer.
Asador Etxebarri, Spanish Basque country. After a friend's magical birthday party in Bordeaux in late June, three of us continued on a 10-day road trip through Spain that started in the Spanish Basque country. I'd reserved months before for lunch at Asador Etxebarri, an hour and a half drive away through the grassy green hills. In the big airy upstairs room of the asador, or grill restaurant, we had a spectacular tasting menu, mostly seafood, that unfurled over several hours. The order of dishes was perfectly orchestrated as it moved from sublime homemade goat butter and bread to impeccable oysters, percebes (goose barnacles), regal gambas in the shell to octopus, cuttlefish and more, ending with a giant, perfectly grilled beef chop. This is not about char, more about perfuming each ingredient ever so lightly with smoke. We understood everything when we had a look in the kitchen later. Chef-owner Victor Arguinzoniz makes his own ingenious grills that go up and down, fires them with his own charcoal made from local woods, so he has a whole palette of charcoals, mostly oak, at his disposal. If I could have just one dish right now, it would be those gorgeous gambas from Palamos. I'll never think about grilling the same way again.
Takeout brisket from Bludso's BBQ in Compton. Craving barbecue one summer night, I persuaded a friend to pick up some brisket from Bludso's in Compton while I made extra sides at home. While the men were collecting the 'cue, a friend and I whipped up a spunky coleslaw with ribbons of radicchio, and a creamy red potato salad to go with the stewed collards with ham hock. I hauled out some homemade dill pickles, set out some hot mustard (Philippe's) and chilled the Beaujolais. When the hunters and gatherers got back, we unpacked the spread onto platters and had a blowout barbecue feast. Kevin Bludso has the touch: His moist brisket has a nice char, caramelized at the edges and marbled with fat. The massive beef ribs are pretty much masterpieces, slathered in a vinegary, slightly sweet barbecue sauce. The hot is not for wimps. Dessert? Key lime pie I made that morning.
Tapas and paella at Jaleo in Vegas. Earlier this year, Spanish chef José Andrés brought Jaleo, his D.C. tapas and paella restaurant, to Las Vegas' Cosmopolitan hotel. And it's wildly fun, with an exuberant decor, great cocktails and, right in the middle of the dining room, a chef cooking paellas in broad pans over a wood fire. In May, as the stock sizzled around the rice, he added lobsters, a pinch of saffron, rabbit or pork riblets, depending on the paella. The rice is moist and fluffy, slightly smoky, suffused with the taste of the stock and whatever else goes into the pan. Perfect to share after a round of cocktails, tapas and embutidos (cured meats). I could have eaten plate after plate of the marvelous jamón ibérico de bellota, made from acorn-eating pigs. And I loved the pa amb tomàquet, toast rubbed with tomato and topped with a plump salt-cured anchovy. Andrés' restaurants (including the Bazaar in Beverly Hills) are always beguiling and spirited. At Jaleo, he served croquetas in a paper cone sticking out of a (new) hiking shoe! Silly, and yet the food is seriously delicious. Don't forget to order dessert, especially the crema catalana, an ethereal custard with the faintest hint of lemon.
Seafood at Hungry Cat in Santa Monica Canyon. On a rainy late spring night, four of us went to the new Hungry Cat in Santa Monica Canyon and ordered the extravagant seafood platter, a three-tiered affair piled with oysters, clams on the half shell, steamed mussels, chilled shrimp and more items from the raw bar. At the very top, like the star on the Christmas tree, were a lipstick red lobster and some Dungeness crab. Crisp briny oysters slid down the throat, the clams got a dab of cocktail sauce or a squeeze of lemon (I couldn't decide which was best). We drank minerally white wines, divvied up those firm white shrimp, wreaked havoc on the crab and lobster. And laughed a lot. I could have easily stopped there, but we're greedy and ordered up sweet and salty cured arctic char on house-baked nan and soft-shelled crabs on jasmine rice in a stinging Singapore chile sauce with 17 ingredients. This was such a luxurious feast and seafood of this quality is so rare at the beach that we count ourselves very lucky to have this new spot a stone's throw from Pacific Coast Highway.
Rustic Italian at Cotogna in San Francisco. I'm such a fan of Michael Tusk's Quince in San Francisco that I couldn't wait to eat at Cotogna, his new Italian place next door. Arriving early, we stopped into Quince's elegant bar for a quirky martini made with camomile-infused gin, Dolin vermouth and bergamot tincture. Over at the much more casual Cotogna (think trattoria as opposed to ristorante), we started with a glorious pizza alla puttanesca made with good salt-cured anchovies, olives, capers, tomato and crowned with barely cooked squid. Warm ricotta, bubbled and browned on top, came with salt-roasted onions and baby artichoke. Sardine lover that I am, I dug into grilled sardines on tondini beans with celery and lemon. Next? Rabbit cooked in duck fat. And then pasta. Tender postage stamp-sized agnolotti al plin stuffed with meat and greens. Then rigatoni in a rustic sauce of pork sausage, tomato and nettles. And from the wood-fired spit, succulent pork loin with fennel and red peppers. One of the best Italian meals I've had in a long time.
Rivera in downtown Los Angeles. A couple of blocks from L.A. Live and its chain restaurants is Rivera, the distinguished Latin restaurant from French-trained, New Mexico-raised John Sedlar. I love sliding onto a seat at the bar or at the massive square communal table and ordering this and that from an eccentric and exciting menu that includes dishes from Mexico, Spain and Latin America. Sedlar is that rare chef whose cooking is incisive and sensual. His wild mushroom carpaccio, tortillas florales, kurobuta pork chop napped in black molé and puerco pibil (pork shoulder braised in banana leaf) all figured into a terrific fall meal. Rivera is always changing as Sedlar redefines the menu. The possibilities are almost endless, and each visit can be entirely different depending on which menu (or room) you choose. Lately, he's added dishes from St. Estèphe, his late, great modern New Mexico restaurant. Playa, his more casual L.A. restaurant, may be more lively, but for the best of Sedlar's cooking, for me, it's Rivera.
M.B. Post in Manhattan Beach. One of the most surprising openings of the year. Who knew that former Water Grill chef David LeFevre had this kind of gutsy global cooking in him? Breaking out of fine dining, he's having exuberant fun turning out vibrant small plates from the Mediterranean and Asia. Every night he adds handwritten specials to a menu that is already prodigiously ample. He's got house-baked breads — crumbly biscuits, shiny pretzels and grilled nan — salt-roasted beets in a beet green pesto dotted with pistachios, or "blistering" green beans with Thai basil, hot peppers and crispy pork bits. In late spring, I loved the couscous with feta, lavender and pomegranate and the grilled nectarines with whipped ricotta. And his sword squid grilled over white oak and presented on a bed of fat white beans. And his caramelized Vietnamese pork jowl with a green papaya and lime salad. Remember the film "Around the World in 80 Days"? This is the culinary equivalent, and the fact that it's in Manhattan Beach makes it all the sweeter. The only downside? The noise.
Soulful Turkish cuisine at Oleana in Boston. A rainy fall night at Oleana in Cambridge, and a table outside on a covered porch turned out to be one of the most memorable meals of the year. I'd been wanting to eat here for years, ever since I'd fallen in love with chef-owner Ana Sortun's cookbook "Spice." Her Turkish food beguiled me with its direct earthy flavors. She's made the cuisine very much her own with dishes like warm buttered hummus with basturma and tomato and her fabulous Sultan's Delight, tender tamarind-glazed beef and smoky eggplant purée dotted with pine nuts, the flavors magical together. The rain fell. We nibbled and talked, reveling in trout spanakopita, wild salmon wrapped in grape leaves with verjus butter and olives, and her flattened lemon chicken with za'tar and cheese pancakes. Turkish cuisine is too little known in this country, and I wanted one more hit. I got it the next day at Sofra, Sortun's Middle Eastern bakery and cafe, with a breakfast of Moroccan doughnuts and morning buns in an orange flower glaze.

Maids. I love Maids! I'm interested. Very, very interested.
Could I be one of the head maid/butlers of the area?
Lolita: As most folks who have seen a few anime know,this foreign loanword was adopted in Japanese to mean"child-like". You'll see it here and there throughout the book,like in the "Maid Type Chart". A "Lolita" character could infact be a child, or it could simply mean an adult with childishor innocent personality types: Pouty, quick to anger, won'tlisten to reason, naive, selfish, very cute, sickly sweet. Also,anime is filled with characters that act childlike with their"outside face", but inside are scheming and manipulative.
Ah, I see. Very well then, I'll join in the game. Thanks for the info for the question.
I ran a Maid game last year. Feel free to use the info:https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=173767.0
For fun I went ahead and did some rolling (because I love the character creation process of Maid). Here is what popped out!
I'd be interested in playing a butler if Vanetias is doing the rival-master thing instead.I'll get my attribute rolls shortly if you're okay with this.
As a villain?
Though, if I may ask, how do I roll in points/skills for rival masters?
I'm thinking of coming in as your garden variety maid or steward... Though in Maid, garden variety could be practically anything depending on what the dice give you...
I can work with this, I think.Since it's a fantasy setting, I'm vaguely thinking of making my butler some kind of wizard (due to great cunning and not great physical abilities). I will examine my options in the meantime though.
I'm in if you are still recruiting.

Developing the library collection includes the activities of evaluating, selecting, acquiring and weeding materials.
Selection is the process of deciding which materials should be acquired for the library's collection. Library materials may include books, magazines, newspapers, audiovisual materials, pamphlets, reports, photographs, etc.
Selection is the responsibility of the librarian who selects material in accordance with a written, board-approved policy. A written policy will aid the librarian in selecting material that is consistent with the purpose of the library. It serves as not only a guide for the librarian but also to inform others as to the nature of the collection and the procedures used in selection.
The selection policy must be consistent with the general mission, goals and objective of the library and based on community needs. The selection policy could contain statements which:
1. Describe the library's mission, goals and objectives.
2. Detail who has the responsibility and authority to select materials.
3. State the guidelines and procedures for selecting materials.
4. Detail the selection tools to be used such as Booklist, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly and others.
5. Identify materials that will not be selected (school textbooks for example).
6. State under what conditions gifts will be accepted.
7. Describe materials that will be discarded (worn-out materials, outdated materials, etc.).
8. Indicate the type of special materials, i.e., tribal, cultural materials will be collected.
9. Give the steps to be taken in handling complaints.
Consideration should also be given to adopting the Library Bill of Rights (http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/statementspols/statementsif/librarybillrights.htm) of the American library Association as a part of the selection policy.
The selection policy provides general guidelines for the selection of materials to be included in the library's collection. The actual selection of materials begins by knowing what is already in the collection. Working with patrons, the librarian learns what subjects they're interested in and what types of materials they want. The librarian tries to provide this material by consulting selection tools for items to be ordered. A sample selection policy is found in Appendix B.
Two highly recommended sources useful for selecting current material are Booklist and Library Journal. These two professional journals along with some others are listed and described in Appendix C.
Some libraries use award winning book lists, especially those from their state library association, to guide new book selection. The American Indian Library Association sponsors the American Indian Youth Services Literature Award, which represent the best in American Indian books for children and youth. The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) and the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) publishes their own lists of notable books each year, including YALSA's Best Books for Young Adults, Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, and Notable Children's books.
To prepare an order using selection aids, the following steps can be taken:
1. Make choices from the selection aids.
2. Mark the items in the selection aid that are to be ordered.
3. Check these items against the library catalog and the on-order file and delete any duplicates.
It is also recommended that a file be maintained of materials that are wanted but cannot be purchased at the time. This will allow quick response to the availability of unexpected funds and facilitate the normal ordering process.
If the selected material comes from a source other than a selection aid, make sure that it meets the library's need and has received a favorable review or been recommended by a reputable source. In summary, some suggestions for material selection are:
1. Select materials based on the needs and interests of the community.
2. Select materials from approved lists or by using selection aids.
3. Purchase materials from reputable jobbers to receive good service and maximum discount (a partial list of vendors can be found in Appendix D).
Library materials can be ordered from a variety of sources including the local bookstore; individual publishers; and a jobber (wholesaler).
It is possible that all three of these sources will be used for purchasing items. For example, purchasing from a local bookstore or Amazon.com is a good method of handling rush or special orders, but generally does not result in high discounts. Some publishers only sell directly to the customer (instead of through a jobber). This is particularly true of some reference books such as encyclopedias. Purchasing through a jobber is the best method of ordering most materials as they give significant discounts. It is best to contact their customer service department before placing an order to discuss discounts, the method of placing the order, payment of postage and other matters related to ordering.
An order form obtained from a library supply company may be used for ordering or some other form recommended by the jobber may be preferred. All orders should be numbered in order to simplify bookkeeping tasks.
A carefully planned receiving process needs to be implemented. Suggested steps include:
1. Upon receipt of the shipment locate the packing slip and write the date of receipt on it.
2. Match the items on the packing slip with the contents of the package or box and with your copy of the purchase order.
3. Other things to check at this time are: materials which may be included in the shipment but were not ordered; incorrect editions; imperfect copies.
4. Notify the jobber promptly of any errors in shipment and make arrangements to correct them.
5. Pull the order slip from the on-order file.
6. The invoice for payment is often received prior to or following receipt of the actual shipment of material. The corrected invoice should be processed for payment.
7. Return the library's copy of the order (requisition) to the pending file if incomplete.
8. Follow the library's technical services procedures for cataloging and preparing materials for use.
The tribal library will undoubtedly be the recipient of "gifts" from a variety of sources. Some gifts are of value while others are of no use whatsoever. In order to provide consistent handling of gifts, the library should adopt a policy regarding them. A statement to that effect is included in the Selection Policy in Appendix B.
Adoption of a standard form for use in accepting gifts should be used. It will show only the number of volumes being donated. No listing will be made nor any value be assigned to the donation. It also contains a place for the donor to sign acknowledging his/her understanding of the library's gift policy. It will include an address of the donor so a thank you letter can be sent.
Gifts and donations can present real problems for libraries. They all too frequently consist of items that are of no practical use to the library and should be discarded. Paperbacks are often donated to the library and these can be of interest to patrons. One method for handling paperback books (which are not cataloged) is to set up a paperback exchange where patrons can bring in their paperbacks and exchange them for others.
If individuals wish to support the library through book donations, consider setting up a publicly available Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble gift registry or wish list for books needed at the library.
Not all materials in need of mending should be repaired. Consider the following questions before making the decision to repair:
1. Should the material be discarded?
2. Should the material be rebound? Generally, materials should be sent to a professional bindery when: replacement copies cannot be obtained; the subject matter must be immediately available; repairs consume too much time to be economically viable.
3. Is it worth the time and effort to make the repairs? The general rule is that if the repairs cannot be made in 10-15 minutes of staff time it is not economically viable to do so.
4. What will it look like when it is finished? The end product must be suitable for use by the general public.
If the decision is to repair then there are several sources available which give step-by-step instructions on how to do so. Among the sources available are:
1. Guide to Book Care and Repair PDF document available from www.shopbrodart.com
2. Guide to Book Repair and Protection Video/DVD available from www.shopbrodart.com
3. Book repair: a how-to-do-it manual by Kenneth Lavender, 2001. New York: Neal-Schuman Publishers.
4. Basic book repair methods by Abraham A. Schechter, 1999. Englewood, Colo: Libraries Unlimited.
"A Simple Book Repair Manual" from Dartmouth http://www.dartmouth.edu/~preserve/repair/html/introduction.htm
"Conservation Book Repair, A Training Manual" from the Alaska State Library http://www.library.state.ak.us/hist/conman.html
Weeding is the process of discarding or transferring to storage library materials no longer used. As noted previously, the Material Selection policy should contain a section on weeding which gives the guidelines for the process.
Important benefits of weeding include:
1. Saving space and ultimately money by getting rid of unused material which take up valuable space.
2. Locating materials which need to be repaired, replaced or rebound.
3. Improving the overall appearance of the library thus making it more pleasant to use.
4. Helping identify the collection's overall strengths and weaknesses.
5. Allowing the collection to remain up-to-date.
Weeding is an ongoing activity and should be done periodically. Some guidelines to follow are:
1. Material has not circulated in the past 3 to 5 years.
2. Material is in poor physical condition and/or of poor appearance.
3. Material is poor in content, for example: having outdated information (particularly in the sciences and technology); containing false information; and is biased and/or stereotyped.
4. Old editions of current titles.
5. Unnecessary duplicates.
6. Unsolicited and unwanted gifts.
7. Periodicals with no indexes.
8. Material that is no longer in demand or no longer supports the community needs
Do not weed the following:
1. Materials on local or tribal history, local authors and/or that which contain texts about local settings.
2. Materials considered to be "classics."
When weeding, some librarians like to check to see if the book is listed in one of the retrospective selection tools listed below:
1. Children's Catalog
2. Junior High/Middle School Library Catalog
3. Senior High School Library Catalog
4. Fiction Catalog
5. Public Library Catalog
6. The Elementary School Library Collection
Because all of these tools contain recommended titles, they serve as a guide in the decision to keep or weed a book.
Some general guidelines for weeding by subject are:
Dewey II || Subject || Guideline
000 Encyclopedias Replace after 5 years.
100 Philosophy Keep if being used.
200 Religion Keep if being used.
300 Social Sciences Keep materials representing all sides of controversial issues.
310 Almanacs, Yearbooks Replace annually, if possible.
320 Political Science Replace old with new editions as available. Materials on historical aspects keep if used; discard others after 5 years.
330 Economics Replace old with new editions as available. Materials on historical aspects keep if used; discard others after 5 years.
340 Law Replace as new material is available.
350 Public Administration Replace old with new material as available. Materials on historical aspects keep if used; discard others after 5 years.
370 Education Keep historical materials if used; discard others after 10 years.
390 Customs Keep up-to date.
- Folklore Keep indefinitely.
- Etiquette Replace periodically with new editions.
400 Languages Weed according to use. Keep all material related to the tribe's language.
500 Pure Sciences Discard after 5 years except for botany, math and natural history and material of historical value.
600 Technology (Applied Sciences) Discard after 5 years unless of historical value.
700 The Arts Keep basic materials and well illustrated materials.
800 Literature Keep classic materials as well as that of the local/ tribal setting or by local authors.
900 General Geography and History Keep that which meets community needs and is accurate.
910 Travel Replace with new material as available; discard after 5 years.
- Biography Retention depends upon subject. Any and all that are of local people should be kept indefinitely.
- Periodicals/Newspapers Keep if locally/tribally produced. Discard others depending on space, use and availability on microfilm.
The general subject guides should be used in accordance with the considerations given earlier in this section and the library's book selection policy.
If material is to be discarded, the following procedures should be implemented.
- Remove the book card and pocket from the material and put the cards in shelf list order.
- Remove the shelf list card.
- Remove or cover-up the call number on the spine and any other area which identifies it as library property and write "DISCARD" in large letters on the title page.
- Withdraw all cards from the card catalog for the material (for example, author, title, and subjects).
- Discard the book card, shelf list card and all catalog cards for the material.
- Discard the material, being sure that all tribal policies regarding the disposal of tribal property are followed.
If discarding only one copy of several, it is not necessary to remove all catalog cards. Rather, remove or cross-out the copy number from the shelf list card.
For more weeding hints, see the [Collection Development Training for Arizona Libraries (CDT) site]

70 years ago –
Jan. 2, 1941
Rumors which have been circulating in the county relative to the purchase by the government of about one-third of the land in Trimble for an ordinance proving ground cannot be confirmed. In a phone call to Commissioner J. Lyter Donaldson, by this newspaper on Wednesday of this week, an attempt was made to confirm or disprove the rumor. In the course of the conservation, Mr. Donaldson said that it was his belief that the Government had no intention of grabbing any land in this county as it was highly impractical to locate three military objectives in such close proximity. Mr. Donaldson further stated that there was no indication that the Federal Government intended to construct another bridge across the Ohio at Madison or to convert the Bedford-Milton road into a military highway. The only military construction thus far that he knew anything about which would effect this area was the widening of US 42.
Benjamin J. Butler, Milton, son of Mark C. Butler Sr., and a senior in the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, has been appointed a first lieutenant in the university's ROTC regiment by Lt. Col. Howard Donnelly, commandant.

The Trimble County High School Blue Demons dropped a hard game Friday night, Dec. 19, to the swift Patriot, Ind., basketball team. The contest was exciting to the finish, as first one team and then the other fought its way to the top.
The Demons performed the same as they had in the last four games – they kept the ball in their possession most of the time and worked it through the opposition time after time, only to fall down on attempts to hit the goal. The final score was Patriot 22, TCHS 19.

Re: Boba Fett and other Star Wars Fan Art!
For a first attempt, it's not bad! Proportions are a lot better than my first ones! The hair is nice and I like the addition of the "skirt"--I know that's not the word for it, but I can't think of the Mando word. Good job on the cape too
(Okay, I looked it up and I think "kama" is the word I was looking for)

Classic adventure
A point and click adventure with lots of options. Interesting graphics.
I don't get it
After having a lot of trouble installing the game, I was quite disappointed to see that it's almost the exact same game as "enemy unknown". So to pay the same price again, was uncool. If you don't own any, get this one and skip "enemy unknown", otherwise see my comment on "ennemy unknown".
Scrabble - Nothing more, nothing less
I like playing scrabble on the iPad and so I thought I'll buy it for the computer as well, but it's definitely not as convenient as on the iPad. Other than that, playing against the computer is really hard, because it uses words you wouldn't normally use in your everyday language.

Press release
Brussels, 19 December 2012
EU announces major support to pioneering renewable energy and water plant in Djibouti
The European Union will support a project to build a desalination plant which will use renewable energy to provide water to 200,000 inhabitants, one-fourth of the country's population, in some of Djibouti's poorest areas. The announcement was made today by Development Commissioner, Andris Piebalgs, and Djiboutian Prime Minister, Mr Dileita Mohamed Dileita, during his visit to Brussels.
Announcing the funding, Development Commissioner Andris Piebalgs said: Access to water is a human right and it's unacceptable that insufficient water supply can be a source of conflict, as Djibouti recently experienced. With this new project, we are not only increasing access to water for the people but we also help to bring security and stability for all Djiboutians. This project is yet another example that EU keeps its promises. The EU supports the UN Sustainable Energy for All initiative and in in the future, the plant will be powered by renewable energy. This is a great example of how with smart aid we can create sustainable development."
Djibouti suffers from an acute water shortage and has recently endured a prolonged drought, which has led to a serious food crisis in the country. The lack of access to water has led to recent fighting and riots in the country.
Current demand for water in the capital Djibouti City (where around 75% of the population lives) is estimated at 80,000 m3 per day but only 36,000m3 per day is currently being supplied.
The new EU-funded project PEPER (Producing Safe Drinking Water with Renewable Energy) will set up a desalination plant in the capital to directly respond to these needs- providing affordable and clean drinking water. Almost half of the 560,000 inhabitants of the city of Djibouti live in Balbala, which has a poverty rate in excess of 70 percent.
The water produced is taken from the local aquifer; the only source of potable water for the city, which has reached its physical limit. Its quality is poor due to sea water intrusion, which has health and social consequences for the most vulnerable parts of the population, in particular children and women. The situation is aggravated by the high population growth in the capital which is expected to see demand for water more than double in the next 20 years.
Project details
The new facility, which will have a capacity of 22,500 m3 per day, easily extendable to 45,000 m3 per day; will be powered by renewable energy and a wind farm is planned as part of the second stage of the PEPER project. Seawater desalination is the only viable way for Djibouti to be able to tackle its water scarcity in the short run. However, such a strategy requires low cost energy to be readily available, which is where the wind farm can contribute.
High energy costs have long held back economic growth and social development in Djibouti. Creating a new source of lower cost, clean energy will help to strengthen the political and social stability of the country, as well as helping to increase security and peace in the region. A new tariff system will allow affordable cost for water desalination and subsidies for social protection and increased access to water and energy for the poorest.
The PEPER energy and water integrated project is one of the components of the EU's Sustainable Energy for All initiative, which President Barroso announced in April and will also support the Government of Djibouti's reform programme in the energy sector. The project is in line with commitments made at the Rio +20 summit and marks the first step towards Djibouti's goal of moving towards 100% renewable energy by 2020
The EU will provide €40.5 million out of the total estimated budget of €46 million for the new water desalination plant. The remaining €5.5 million will be financed from Djibouti. The project will consist of two phases of 22.500 m³ each.
The PEPER project is expected to strengthen links and cooperation between the government, civil society, technical and financial partners and the private sector. New sustainable water and energy management strategies will be put in place, creating a framework for development aid and public/ private investment. This could include financing from blending loans and grants – in line with the European Commission's Agenda for Change, which was recently adopted by Council.

So with all the talk of Valentine's Parties, I wanted to make sure that everyone was included and had something to do. If you are single, there is still plenty to celebrate! Invite all of your single friends over for an Un-Valentine's Party. Have your single friends invite their single friends and it will turn into a festive bash. This party is all about having fun with your friends no matter what the occasion!
For invitations, use regular Valentine Party invitations but write "UN" in front of all Valentine statements.
Most people won't want to be surrounded by red roses so use black roses and black party decorations. However, you can always use fresh colorful flowers to lighten the mood. Make funny "bad relationship name tags" and hand them out at the door when people come in. Some examples are "Serial Dater", "Break-up Queen", "It's not me, It's you", "The other Woman", "Homewrecker", "Love Goddess", "Bad boyfriend", "The Jerk".
Keep the food simple by setting out finger foods and sweet treats. Serve broken heart shaped cookies or heart shaped cookies decorated with black food coloring.
For fun, try the Bleeding Heart Cupcakes recipe.
These BitterSweets are great gifts for your guests. They come with a variety of sayings like: "A Fine Whine"; "I Want Half"; "Just a Friend";
If you are into games, play Name that Tune but use songs such as Cry Me a River (Justin Timberlake); You Give Love a Bad Name (Bon Jovi); and "I Will Survive" Gloria Gaynor
The goal of this party is to have fun with all of your single friends on a day that is normally relegated to the loving couples.
Other adult Anti-Valentine's Day ideas include a girls night at a fun restaurant, a wine tasting party or just staying home with some friends and watching old movies.

Mutants are simply humans who have a genetic mutation that gives them an astonishing and sometimes dangerous superhuman power. Every mutant has the X-Gene within them, though the power it gives a mutant is unique for every one. The X-Gene can be passed down through heredity, but two normal human parents can also have a mutant child. Scientists have called mutants the next step in human evolution, but society as a whole looks at mutants with fear. They fear their power, and they fear what the do not understand. America is in an uproar over what they should do about the mutants, and violence and protests have broken out all over.Certain politicians move against mutants, while others aim to help them. So Charles Xavier formed the X-Men to help create peace with mutants and man-kind. The X-Men would were a powerful combat team that accomplished many amazing missions, and helped protect innocent lives. They defeated Apocalypse, the Brotherhood of Mutants, and many other threats in their time. They helped bridge the gap between homo-sapiens and homo-superior (mutants). Many years ago Charles Xavier opened the Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters. He created a school that would be a safe place for mutants to attend and to get an education[color=#000000;].[/color] But the school would also harbor his secret team of fighter's, the X-Men. Not all students were in the X-Men, and not all X-Men were students in the school, though they could be both, most of them were too old to be in high-school and some of them are teachers in the school instead.
The X-Men suffered many crises. Apocalypse, the Civil War and even M-Day. Except in this Marvel universe M-Day was reversed by Scarlet Witch months after the disaster.But seventeen years ago everything changed. The Phoenix came back from the dead and allied herself with Magneto, and subsequently killed off almost all of the X-Men; including Professor X. She then turned on the Brotherhood of Mutants, wiping them out as well. In the end Jean Grey went to the grave once again as Wolverine ended her life, but she managed to turn him to ashes before he was finished. It seemed like all was lost, that the X-Men had finally collapsed. But a lone survivor, the X-Men known as Beast had survived the blood-bath. He returned to the mansion, and reopened the school, now as the new Dean and leader of the X-Men. Now seventeen years after that terrible day, Beast has recreated the X-Men, with his own group of bright-eyed teens and gifted youngsters.It turns out that Quicksilver, survived as well, and he took up his father's mantle as leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, he has now grown the size of his organization, as new mutants have joined the faction. The brotherhood is very much the opposite of the X-Men; they work against peace, and strive to cause a war between humans and mutants, a war that Beast fears would be the extinction of both sides.Even more ominous, a corporation known as Weapon X has survived all these years. They were the ones responsible for implanting the adamantium into Wolverine, and many other terrible deeds. They have now captured a team of mutants, and turned them all into their personal weapons, and they plan to use them for evil. The Sentinel's are still around, their one function is to hunt down certain mutants and kill them for the good of mankind. They are mutant killers, and they are highly efficient at it. The newly re-formed X-Men and the newly reformed Brotherhood of Mutants have yet to clash; but soon they will and everything will be changed forever.

Mansion Layout:
Here is a layout of the mansion and grounds so you guys know what's on what floor and all of the rooms for the mansion.Reference for the mansion and estateBasement- Blackbird hanger, Dangeroom, Cerebro, X-Men only medical wing, Hanks' lab, war-room, armory, interrogation roomThe Basement is a metal underground base; the hallways are completely made out of metal, with large oval shaped doors that open when you approach them with X's on the front. Cerebro is a long metal hallway that opens up to a large abyss, which is actually a massive circular metal room. At the end of the lone hallway is the Cerebro consol, which only Ashlynn Summers can use. The Blackbird hanger is a massive metal hanger room, which the Blackbird sits in. The Blackbird is a large black, futuristic jet that belongs to the X-Men.Reference for the basement levelThe Dangeroom is a large metal room, with specialized machine traps and obstacles the X-Men must face while training. It also has very realistic and believable holograms for training, and the illusions the walls can create are quite advanced. The war-room; is a simple metal room, where the X-Men are called to meet before missions. It has an advanced computer system within the room that Beast uses to display things for the team, or search for information.First floor- Classrooms, library, teacher's offices, computer lab, dinning room, kitchen, student cafeteria, lobbyThe first floor has brick walls, with nice paintings and expensive furniture, the library is large, and filled with many books, with large open windows that show the grounds outside. When you enter the mansion through the front door, you see the front of the house, and a large grand stair-case that leads up to the rest of the floors.For reference, first floor is in this styleSecond floor- student dorms, one for girls one for boys, School wide medical wingThe second floor has white walls, with white and black décor. It has many windows in the dorms, and each room for each student can be decorated the way they'd like, with personal items like Xbox 360 etc.Third floor- staff bedrooms, guestrooms, Beasts office, empty room for partiesThe third floor also has brick walls, except for the rooms for each of the staff, which is painted, and decorated however they like. Beast' office is large, with a well polished wooden desk, large open windows, and shelves full of books. The office used to belong to the late Professor Xavier, there is a picture of Xavier still in the office, along with a picture of Beast.Mansion ground- pool, basketball court, garageThe pool is a large swimming pool for staff and students alike to enjoy, same with the basketball court, which is an outside court, with six hoops. The garage is a large separate garage; that has about ten cars in it, which all used to belong to past X-Men, or Xavier. X-Men are allowed to take them out if needed, but students are not allowed to drive them without permission, thought that doesn't stop a few of them from breaking the rules.
X-Men- The X-Men are a group of mutants founded by Charles Xavier. The original X-Men all died, all of them except for Beast. Beast has reformed the X-Men with all new members; the new X-Men are soldiers, fighting for Xavier's dream of peaceful coexistence with mankind. Even though Xavier is dead, this dream is now slowly being forged into reality.The Brotherhood of Mutants- The Brotherhood is a group of rogue mutants who are lead by the powerful mutant Quicksilver. The faction was founded by Xavier's arch enemy Magneto, but after his death his son took over. Their goal is to bring down mankind and put mutants at the top of society; if this means killing all of the humans on earth than so be it.The Enforcers- The Enforcers, are a relatively new group, they were formed in the last seventeen years. They were created by the American Government, by the same people who created the Sentinels. They are a group of average humans who want to wipe out all mutants. Mutants must register with the government by law, and if they don't they are legally allowed to be killed without trial. They will stop at nothing until all mutants are erased from the face of the earth. They used special high-tech technologies and Mech-suits to compensate for their lack of powers.Weapon X- Weapon X is a shadow organization run by unknown persons. They are obsessed with mutants with healing abilities and have created their own personal force of powerful mutants. These mutants are usually, captured, brainwashed and experimented on. They are then used as assassins to take out high paid contacts for the organization, or dangerous missions to further Weapon-X's lucrative goals.
Recently the Weapon-X facility in Canada has been destroyed by the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. There seems to be little loyal Weapon-X members left. The Hellfire Club- The Hellfire Club is a secretive cult within the upper echelon of human and mutant society. The Hellfire Club was founded in the 18th century, and even today many members adhere to an 18th century dress code. Additionally, the hierarchy of the Inner Circle is modeled on the pieces of a chess set, with Black and White sets of Kings, Queens, Bishops and Rooks and Knights. The soldiers and grunts that the Club control are the Pawns. The Club counts among its members some of the most powerful, wealthy and influential members of society. Membership is passed on to descendants, and can also be earned through wealth, influence or power.While many accept the invitation simply for the pleasures that the Club offers, others seek wealth and a place of power. In fact, the purpose of the Hellfire Club is to obtain and exert power through politics and economic influence instead of outward conquest and domination, though since after many years of these tactics not working they are going to more unconventional means. Since its foundation, the Hellfire Club has been involved in wars and assassinations to further the agendas of the Club's most powerful members.SHIELD: SHIELD stands for: Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. SHIELD. is an extra-government intelligence and security organization dedicated to protecting the nations and peoples of Earth from all threats, terrestrial or extraterrestrial. SHIELD was organized to meet the threat of the highly technological subversive organization called Hyrda. Its current Executive Director is Colonel Nicholas Fury, an ex- C.I.A. operative. SHIELD's Supreme Headquarters is the huge mobile Helicarrier, but there are also regional offices in all the major cities of the free world and several secret bases in Communist countries. Although most of SHIELD's operations are covert, the organization's existence is known to general public. SHIELD. even maintains public offices in several cities.
There are two teams that are affiliated with SHIELD.
Neo-Avengers- Group of children of the original Avengers, led my Patriot. No spots currently available.
Pantheon- A SHIELD strike team that uses the names of mythos gods as their codenames, main directive is to stop disasters before they occur.
The RP takes place primarily in NYC and New York State; but characters will be allowed to travel to other locations if they chose to. Also some missions within the story will take place in other countries and locations, which will be accessible by the Blackbird (The X-Men's jet).

DAYTON, Ohio – Baseball is packed with stories of high draft picks who never make it and lower-round selections who become stars.
It seems pitcher Josh Smith, two years removed from the Lipscomb University campus, might be on his way to the latter category.
"We got lucky," Cincinnati Reds minor league field coordinator Freddie Benavides freely admits. "He can really pitch."
While Smith, 23, likely is a couple of years away from contending for a spot with the Reds, what a step the right-hander has taken this season with the Dayton Dragons, the Reds' low-Class A affiliate in the Midwest League.
A 21st-round pick in the 2010 amateur draft whose signing bonus – about $1,000 – was a pittance compared to what more heralded prospects receive, Smith started for the Eastern Conference in the MWL All-Star Game in June. The right-hander from Margate, Fla., worked a scoreless inning that night in Davenport, Iowa, and has been the ace of a Dragons staff that ranks among the league's finest.
But Smith, who credits Lipscomb baseball coach Jeff Forehand and his staff for helping him get to this point, is far from satisfied. Even on his way to the All-Star Game, with a 1.59 ERA tucked away, the 2010 All-Atlantic Sun Conference first team selection was talking about improving. On his mind were such aspects of his craft as making every delivery look the same to keep hitters guessing, throwing more first-pitch strikes, concentrating on keeping the ball low in the strike zone, and limiting his walks.
He sounded more like a pitching coach than a pitcher.
"It sounds cliché, but I just want to get smarter," Smith said. "I want to learn a little bit every day."
There was plenty to learn at Lipscomb, and except for missing his sophomore season after having the reconstructive Tommy John surgery performed on his pitching elbow, Smith said he enjoyed his five-year stay.
"There's nothing bad that I could say about that school," he said. "It was a lot of fun. Nashville is different from South Florida, where I'm from, but I grew to love it. Baseball was great. We always played the best competition, being in (NCAA) Division I."
In 2010, Smith finished fourth in the country in strikeouts, twice fanning 15 in a game. But his record – 8-4, 4.66 ERA – did not indicate dominance, scouts were lukewarm and, being a senior, he lacked the leverage of being able to return to school.
It all led to the Reds finally making Smith the 637th overall pick and assigning him to their rookie-league outpost in Billings, Mont, where he went 1-2 with a 2.14 ERA in 12 relief appearances last summer.
Promoted to Dayton in August, Smith repeated that success, posting a 1-1 record and 2.13 ERA in seven appearances, again all in relief.
The Reds were careful not to overwork Smith after he had made 14 starts for Lipscomb in the spring and completed four, including three straight nine-inning games during one stretch. But when the 2011 season dawned, Smith was the Dragons' Opening Day starter, which showed how the Reds viewed him coming out of spring training in Goodyear, Ariz.
After five MWL starts, Smith was taking the league by storm, his ERA still below 1.00. Going into his July 24 start, his 18th, he was 9-4 with a 2.51 ERA and 117 strikeouts (and just 23 walks) in 100 1/3 innings.
"I'm not surprised at all at what he's been able to accomplish," said Dragons pitching coach Tony Fossas, who pitched 12 seasons in the majors. "I know Lipscomb because I coached at Florida Atlantic (in Boca Raton, Fla.) in the same conference. They play a competitive schedule, so he came here already developed."
Off the field, the transition to Dayton has gone smoothly. Smith lives with a host family – and four other pitchers – in a large suburban house that features a home theater in the basement.
"Pro ball is a six-month grind and definitely a job, but we can sleep in every day, so that's usually pretty nice," Smith said. "We don't have to get up and go to class."
The next step up the organizational ladder is the advanced Class A team in Bakersfield, Calif., but the Reds appear reluctant to pack Smith off to a hitter-friendly California League locale where the center field fence is 350 feet from home plate, about 50 feet closer than most parks.
They have kept him in Dayton, where the Dragons are making a second-half playoff push and can certainly use him. And, fortunately, the Dayton baseball experience is exponentially better than Smith could hope to find just about anywhere south of the big leagues. The Dragons average more than 8,000 fans at a 12-year-old ballpark, Fifth Third Field, that could pass for new, and they recently eclipsed the professional sports record held by the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers with their 815th consecutive sellout.
Reality intrudes on paradise every so often, though. Smith recently saw his friend Pat Doyle, a relief pitcher, move up to Double-A Carolina, then return to Dayton for a day before being sent back to Carolina and, ultimately, back to Dayton not long after that.
Welcome to life in the minors.
"It's hard to see guys go that you played with who are your friends," Smith said. "It's a business, but anytime a guy leaves, it definitely puts that thought in your mind that you could be next."
When it's Smith's turn, it's hard to believe he won't be ready.

Microgaming wins awards; Phil Ivey-Full Tilt: Round 2
Microgaming wins awards
32Red Poker fans might not be too surprised to learn that Microgaming enjoyed success at the recent 2011 EGR B2B Awards. Held at Chelsea Football Club, e-Gaming Review's award ceremony is the established premier recognition ceremony in the industry, and rewards the top service providers and B2B operators in online gaming.
I've been writing for years about the initial global online poker explosion and the subsequent boom, and the game and this user-friendly format continue to be as popular as ever. Indeed with online gaming and poker rooms now enjoying 'everyday' exposure in the form of various sponsorship deals such as 32Red's with the English Premier League newcomers, Swansea, for example, then it's just as important to achieve industry recognition now as it was in the early days. Thus it should be reassuring to 32red players that Microgaming won the 2011 EGR B2B Poker Network of the Year award (as well as picking up an award for Innovation in Slot Provision).
Phil Ivey-Full Tilt: Round 2
Meanwhile, the Phil Ivey-Full Tilt battle escalated to a war of words following Ivey's lawsuit about what he perceives as inaction regarding players' account problems following the clampdown by the US Department of Justice.
Here is Tiltware's rather combative response:
"Contrary to his sanctimonious public statements, Phil Ivey's meritless lawsuit is about helping just one player – himself. In an effort to further enrich himself at the expense of others, Mr. Ivey appears to have timed his lawsuit to thwart pending deals with several parties that would put money back in players' pockets. In fact, Mr. Ivey has been invited — and has declined — to take actions that could assist the company in these efforts, including paying back a large sum of money he owes the site. Tiltware doubts Mr. Ivey's frivolous and self-serving lawsuit will ever get to court. But if it does, the company looks forward to presenting facts demonstrating that Mr. Ivey is putting his own narrow financial interests ahead of the players he professes to help."
The pot – I mean plot – thickens…
Good luck at the tables!

Coffee Recipes
Rib-Eye Steaks with Mushroom Coffee Sauce
I had prepared this very flavorful sauce for the Polar Production Team last week as a thank you for bearing with me during the long, sleepless hours of filming my first cooking series. On the last day, I packed a meal for each member revolving around my favorite insomniac's ingredient: coffee, of course!
I seared beautiful rib-eye steaks and paired them with a mushroom coffee sauce. The beef was such good quality that salt and pepper could have been sufficient but I jazzed it up with espresso coffee and flavored the sauce with the velvety, dark elixir.

Coffee Pot de Creme Recipe
This week has gone by so fast. And it's already that time of the week when I share another dessert recipe with you. I prepared a French dessert I make often during the winter season because it doesn't require any fruit. I simply raided my pantry and used vanilla beans, instant coffee and Kahlúa, which is a coffee-flavored, rum-based liqueur. Yes, you probably already guessed it; I prepared pot de creme.
I love how easy and simple they are to make. The texture is velvety and lightly sweetened. In my opinion, pots de crème are the quintessential representation of decadence one can find in French desserts.

Summer Salad with Spiced Lemon Coffee Vinaigrette
This delicious, summery salad makes good use of fresh, crisp ingredients. I also added red quinoa, avocado, fresh mozzarella cheese, fried tofu and chicken pieces to complete the nutritious salad. To put it over the top, I drizzled the salad with an incredible lemon and coffee-flavored vinaigrette.
I was inspired to make the dressing by our trip to Italy two years ago. While on our vacation, we had the opportunity to try spiced citrus coffee. It was absolutely terrific and fairly commonplace; similar flavor combinations can be seen in many coffee cakes and biscotti cookies. I was able to recreate the flavors found in these Italian dishes using Boyajian coffee vinegar and pure lemon oil. I also added extra lemon zest to brighten the vinaigrette.
The vinaigrette itself would also make an excellent marinade for chicken, steaks or root vegetables.

Mocha Thumbprint Cookie Recipe
Baby Aria is very similar to my husband Lulu when it comes to her favorite foods. She loves vegetables and she adores sweets. Today I experimented with a batch of cookies I usually make when we have guests over for tea: thumbprint cookies. They're so pretty, especially with the crackle effect on the shortbread cookie dough and the whimsical design in the center indentation that almost resembles a crazy eye.
I flavored the cookie dough with cocoa powder and mocha paste. I filled them with vanilla chips and a drizzle of bittersweet chocolate, which came out just as great. Have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to sharing recipes next week in anticipation of Cinco de Mayo!

Gingerbread Cookie Recipe
I used gingerbread cookies as a fun and playful way to get to know my niece and nephew when I met them for the first time. I baked a few gingerbread men for them, and asked them what they thought of the designs. My little nephew is just a year old, so I didn't use any egg in the gingerbread dough.
We're finally back from a few days in Rome and now are spending Christmas with my parents and my sister's family in Paris.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

SYSCALL(2) BSD Programmer's Manual SYSCALL(2)
syscall, __syscall - indirect system call
#include <sys/syscall.h> #include <unistd.h> int syscall(int number, ...); __syscall(quad_t number, ...);
syscall() performs the system call whose assembly language interface has the specified number with the specified arguments. Symbolic constants for system calls can be found in the header file <sys/syscall.h>. Since different system calls have different return types, a prototype of __syscall specifying the correct return type should be declared locally. This is especially important for system calls returning larger-than-int results. The __syscall form should be used when one or more of the parameters is a 64-bit argument to ensure that argument alignment is correct. This system call is useful for testing new system calls that do not have entries in the C library.
The return values are defined by the system call being invoked. In gen- eral, for system calls returning int, a 0 return value indicates success. A -1 return value indicates an error, and an error code is stored in errno.
The syscall() function call appeared in 4.0BSD.
There is no way to simulate system calls that have multiple return values such as pipe(2). MirOS BSD #10-current June 16, 1993 1
