Tacoma Public Library offers mobile applications to patrons
Submitted by Lucas Byram on
Patrons of the Tacoma Public Library can now use an app for smartphones and tablets that enables them to search and place holds on the library catalog, renew items, find directions to the nearest branch, ask questions of library staff, see a calendar of upcoming programs, scan a book's ISBN number to see if the library has the title or download eBooks and eAudioBooks directly onto patron's devices. The new app even allows patrons to connect with the library on Facebook, Twitter, or through library blogs.
"Everyone lives on their mobile phones these days, so it's important for the library to be easily accessible whenever and wherever people need access to our staff and rich resources," said Susan Odencrantz, Library Director. "Our mobile app puts library information just one click away with much faster access than going through a browser."
Searching the catalog with the mobile app is especially easy, library staff say. Just type the first few letters of two or three words and search results will begin to show.
Download the app at Tacoma.boopsie.com or search "TPL mobile" in your app stores. The mobile app is currently available for Android smartphones and tablets. TPL mobile should be available shortly through Apple's iTunes store.
"The apple folks keep telling us 'any day now'," says David Domkoski Community Relations Manager for Tacoma Public Library.
Patrons experiencing difficulty in loading the library application onto their smartphone or tablet are encouraged to bring their mobile device to the library for assistance. If you have any questions about the apps call Tacoma Public Library at (253) 592-2001.

As has hopefully been clear from the first page of our first issue, SAGA is a series for the proverbial "mature reader." Unfortunately, because of two postage stamp-sized images of gay sex, Apple is banning tomorrow's SAGA #12 from being sold through any iOS apps. This is a drag, especially because our book has featured what I would consider much more graphic imagery in the past, but there you go. Fiona and I could always edit the images in question, but everything we put into the book is there to advance our story, not (just) to shock or titillate, so we're not changing shit.
Apologies to everyone who reads our series on iPads or iPhones, but here are your alternatives for Wednesday:
1) Head over to you friendly neighborhood comics shop and pick up a physical copy of our issue that you can have and hold forever.
2) While you're at it, don't forget to support the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which helps protect retailers who are brave enough to carry work that some in their communities might consider offensive. You can find signed copies of Saga at the CBLDF site right now.
3) Download the issue directly through sites like https://comics.imagecomics.com or on your non-Apple smartphone or tablet.
4) If all else fails, you might be able to find SAGA #12 in Apple's iBookstore, which apparently sometimes allows more adult material to be sold than through its apps. Crazy, right?
Anyway, special thanks to Eric Stephenson and everyone at Image for supporting our decision, and for always being so supportive of creators. Sorry again to readers for the inconvenience, but I hope everyone will be able to find an issue that Fiona and I are particularly proud of. And after you do, please check out PanelSyndicate.com , the new digital comics site I own with artist Marcos Martin, which remains 100% uncensored by corporate overlords.
Your pal,
Here's the deal: FIRST buy your digital comics through the Comixology website. Meaning go to the dot com, on a browser on your computer, and buy it there. THEN download the comic to any device — including iOS devices — and read it. That way, Apple cannot restrict what you see.
This is good practice for all digital comics, not just SAGA. By purchasing through the website, more of your money goes directly to the creators and publishers you love, and not to Apple, which doesn't need more of your money anyway.
Yes, this is a "real" problem, as in, it really matters. If profitable digital distribution is handcuffed by the capricious whims of 3-4 corporations, how are we any better off than we were in the days of the fickle, puritanical Comics Code?
Finally…please join the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and support free speech rights for comics.

School district honors Thomas
By SUE WATSON
The Holly Springs School District Board of Trustees and some former trustees heaped praise upon outgoing board member Martha Thomas at a reception last week.
Thomas served nearly seven years on the board and is remembered for her high energy, undaunted optimism and cool head, according to board president Ray Von Autry.
"She voted her heart and her conscience and set an example for board members," he said. "The volume of hours she gave cannot be repaid."
Autry said Thomas set a high bar on school district issues and attention to detail.
School board vice president Paul Lampley agreed.
"Ditto, to what Ray Von has said. It is a pleasure working with you and with my being a new board member, you have set the stage for me," Lampley said. "You've made decisions for the betterment of the students in Holly Springs."
School board attorney Tom Freeland, in a written letter to be read aloud, said, "The school board is one of the truest ways you can serve the community."
Freeland was unable to attend.
Former school board trustee Knowledge Gipson shared personal notes.
"I miss serving on the board, but when I was on the board I grew tired of it. I miss it now," he said. Gipson served 14 years as trustee.
Former trustee Artis Walton said Thomas could always smile when the heat was on as well as during smooth sailing.
"The district will also miss her," he said.
Walton added his on belief that more members of the business community should serve as trustees.
"She will also miss being off the board, as I have," Walton said. "We appreciate you and enjoyed working with you."
Walton served 10 years on the school board.
Holly Springs mayor Andre' DeBerry agreed with Walton that the board needed more members from the business community - not just educators.
"It's important to have all types of backgrounds," he said. "Thank you for serving and the time you've given to the system."
Superintendent Irene Walton thanked Thomas for her "undivided commitment" and ability to be business minded.
"On a personal note, when I took this job there was a lot of turbulence," she said. "Thank you for your kindness, your spirit, and for hanging in there with us. I hope you will always speak your heart and your mind."
Thomas was appointed to the board of trustees by the late mayor Eddie Lee Smith when the board had only four members.
"I'm not sure why I wanted to be on the board, but my dad was an educator," she said. "Also, I had a hard time with that two letter word, no."
Thomas said she asked to be relieved of duties because she will be travelling more now that she is retired after 28 years with FedEx and her husband, Jimmy, is also retired.
"Now we have an opportunity to do the stuff we always wanted to do, and in fairness to the children, I should not be a board member who cannot give their all," she said.
Thomas said she intends to continue to support the school district as she always has by being involved in activities at the schools.
"The fact that I resigned from the board does not mean I have resigned from the school system," she said. "I still have contact with students already graduated. I do not want to lose touch with the school."
The school district presented Thomas with a plaque of appreciation and a clock before serving snacks and cake.
Others present at the reception were administrative secretary Sarah Ivory, Eileen Dowsing, assistant superintendent, Beverly Thompson, business manager, and former trustee Gwen Gipson.
Trustee Alonzo McClinton, who has stepped down, trustee Micheal Crittle, and former trustee Gemma Beckley were unable to attend the reception.

Winnipeg, Manitoba (SportsNetwork.com) - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers acquired quarterback Drew Willy from the Saskatchewan Roughriders in exchange for wide receiver Jade Etienne on Thursday.
Upon acquisition, the Blue Bombers signed Willy to a contract extension. Details of the agreement were not disclosed.
The 6-foot-3 Willy has spent the past two seasons as the Riders' backup quarterback, and has gone 2-2 as a starter during that time. In two starts this past season, Willy completed 32-of-52 attempts for 474 yards and four touchdowns.
"Drew is a quarterback we have always thought had very high potential in this league," said Bombers' general manager Kyle Walters. "He immediately upgrades us at the position, and we really look forward to him being a part of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers moving forward."
Willy, who played collegiately at the University of Buffalo, has thrown for 1,182 yards on 101-of-147 passing with nine touchdowns in his two seasons in the CFL.
Etienne was a first round draft pick of the Blue Bombers in the 2011 Draft, and after three CFL seasons, has caught 20 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns.

Ever since the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg and became the Winnipeg Jets in the 2011-12 season, all Jets' fans have wanted is to see their favorite team get into the Stanley Cup Playoffs and compete for hockey's Holy Grail.
The team struck out in its first two seasons but after winning six of their last seven games, they appear to be headed in the right direction. As of this writing, the Jets are just seven points behind the eighth place Minnesota Wild in Western Conference and are playing a style of hockey that is producing winning results.
One of the main reasons for this change is the hiring of Paul Maurice as the team's new bench boss. With the team floundering under previous head coach Claude Noel, the Jets needed to make a change and hiring Maurice certainly seems like it has been the right move so far.
Under Maurice, it appears as though the team has woken up from a long slumber. The team is putting the puck in the net (24 goals in seven games under Maurice), is playing better defensively (13 goals allowed under Maurice), and more importantly, finding ways to win hockey games.
One reason why the Jets are succeeding under their new head coach is their new offensive style of play. The team is playing a more up-tempo style of hockey and it has led to more odd man rushes, more breakaways, and a better forecheck which has helped create turnovers.
Obviously, this kind of style may not work all the time for the rest of the season, but right now, it has the Jets awake and ready to put the puck in the net. When put in the right situation, the Jets have several players who can produce somewhat consistently and right now, Maurice finding those guys and utilizing them to the team's advantage.
Secondly, the team's defensive structure has been much better under Maurice than it was with Noel guiding the ship. The Jets are playing much better in their own end, doing a better job of taking away shooting lanes, doing an even better job of protecting their netminder, and making better and smarter decisions with the puck in their own end.
For the Jets, there has never really been a doubt with their offense. On the other end, their play without the puck has always been a huge question mark, but it appears that under Maurice, this team is going to be a lot better on the defensive side of the puck.
Lastly, Maurice is slowly starting to establish a winning culture for the Jets. For much of this season, the Jets had struggled in a big way and put themselves near the basement of the Western Conference.
Since Maurice has taken over behind the bench, the Jets have won six of seven games and have done so by beating good teams. In fact, last night, the Jets beat the Chicago Blackhawks, the defending Stanley Cup Champions, by a score of 3-1 in Chicago at the United Center, which is a very tough building to win hockey games in.
If the Jets want to make the postseason, there are still things they need to work on in their game. With that said, if they keep listening to Maurice and keep playing the way they are right now, a postseason spot in April might not be out of the question.
Maurice leading Jets in the right direction

Should We Stop Children From Learning to Cheat?
A Freakonomics Radio listener named Sandra Elsen writes:
Read More »
Today, I went to my son's kindergarten. He attends the local International School (what the Realtor described as the "Hippy-Dippy" school, lol), in a semi-rural area, just outside of the city in a middle-class town.
There, I was asked to help them learn a new game. The concept was simple: a six-sided block had three 1′s and three 2′s marked on each side. They had to trace the number that was rolled on their worksheet. Roll, trace. Once five of one number was achieved, either the firetruck or the firefighter (pictured at the bottom of the sheet) "won." The teacher indicated it was a "race" to see which picture would win.
Are Tenured Professors Better Classroom Teachers?
The argument over tenure for university professors is a long and boisterous one.
Levitt, for one, is in favor of abolition. If you are on that side of the argument as well, you may be pleased to read a new working paper by David Figlio, Morton Schapiro, and Kevin Soter (all associated with Northwestern, in one capacity or another) called "Are Tenure Track Professors Better Teachers?" (gated, sorry). Short answer (in their study, at least): no.
The abstract:
Read More »
This study makes use of detailed student-level data from eight cohorts of first-year students at Northwestern University to investigate the relative effects of tenure track/tenured versus non-tenure line faculty on student learning. We focus on classes taken during a student's first term at Northwestern, and employ a unique identification strategy in which we control for both student-level fixed effects and next-class-taken fixed effects to measure the degree to which non-tenure line faculty contribute more or less to lasting student learning than do other faculty. We find consistent evidence that students learn relatively more from non-tenure line professors in their introductory courses. These differences are present across a wide variety of subject areas, and are particularly pronounced for Northwestern's average students and less-qualified students.
How Many Years Does It Take to Learn to Be a Lawyer?
President Obama recently proposed an interesting solution to the skyrocketing cost (and declining popularity) of law school: make it shorter:
"This is probably controversial to say, but what the heck, I'm in my second term so I can say it," Obama said during a stop at the State University of New York at Binghamton. "I believe, for example, that law schools would probably be wise to think about being two years instead of three years because [….] in the first two years young people are learning in the classroom."
In the third year, he said, "they'd be better off clerking or practicing in a firm, even if they weren't getting paid that much. But that step alone would reduce the cost for the student."
The Daily Dish reports on various responses to Obama's suggestion. For example, law professor Matt Bodie wonders if the change would really decrease costs: Read More »
Paying Kids to Go to School Instead of Working
A new working paper (abstract; PDF) by Eric V. Edmonds and Maheshwor Shrestha analyzes whether schooling incentives (in the form of conditional cash transfers) effectively reduce child labor, which is a persistent problem in developing countries. Their conclusion: you get what you pay for. From the abstract:
Can efforts to promote education deter child labor? We report on the findings of a field experiment where a conditional transfer incentivized the schooling of children associated with carpet factories in Nepal. We find that schooling increases and child involvement in carpet weaving decreases when schooling is incentivized. As a simple static labor supply model would predict, we observe that treated children resort to their counterfactual level of school attendance and carpet weaving when schooling is no longer incentivized. From a child labor policy perspective, our findings imply that "You get what you pay for" when schooling incentives are used to combat hazardous child labor.
Losing Experienced Teachers Is Bad for Schools, Right?
Maybe not. A new working paper (abstract; PDF) by Maria Fitzpatrick and Michael Lovenheim finds that offering early retirement to experienced schoolteachers doesn't have a negative effect on students' test scores, and in some cases leads to an improvement. The abstract:
Read More »
Early retirement incentives (ERIs) are increasingly prevalent in education as districts seek to close budget gaps by replacing expensive experienced teachers with lower-cost newer teachers. Combined with the aging of the teacher workforce, these ERIs are likely to change the composition of teachers dramatically in the coming years. We use exogenous variation from an ERI program in Illinois in the mid-1990s to provide the first evidence in the literature of the effects of large-scale teacher retirements on student achievement. We find the program did not reduce test scores; likely, it increased them, with positive effects most pronounced in lower-SES schools.
What Happens When You Teach Parents to Parent?
A new working paper (abstract; PDF) by Paul Gertler, James Heckman, and several other co-authors examines the impressive long-term effects of a Jamaican program that taught low-income parents better parenting skills. Here's the abstract:
Read More »
We find large effects on the earnings of participants from a randomized intervention that gave psychosocial stimulation to stunted Jamaican toddlers living in poverty. The intervention consisted of one-hour weekly visits from community Jamaican health workers over a 2-year period that taught parenting skills and encouraged mothers to interact and play with their children in ways that would develop their children's cognitive and personality skills. We re-interviewed the study participants 20 years after the intervention. Stimulation increased the average earnings of participants by 42 percent. Treatment group earnings caught up to the earnings of a matched non-stunted comparison group. These findings show that psychosocial stimulation early in childhood in disadvantaged settings can have substantial effects on labor market outcomes and reduce later life inequality.
College Makes You Healthy
At the core of the debate over the value of college is a collage of evidence showing that it produces better lifetime outcomes not just in income but in health and happiness. How does this happen? And how can we be sure that we aren't just seeing a selection bias — i.e., that people who go to college would have been richer, healthier, and happier in any case?
Here's a new working paper (abstract; PDF), by Kasey Buckles, Andreas Hagemann, Ofer Malamud, Melinda Morrill, and Abigail Wozniak which purports to show the long-term health effects of a college education. Granted, their data stretches back to the Vietnam War draft (a good instrumental variable, which other researchers have used) but their findings are significant nonetheless.
We exploit exogenous variation in college completion induced by draft-avoidance behavior during the Vietnam War to examine the impact of college completion on adult mortality. Our preferred estimates imply that increasing college completion rates from the level of the state with the lowest induced rate to the highest would decrease
cumulative mortality by 28 percent relative to the mean. Most of the reduction in mortality is from deaths due to cancer and heart disease. We also explore potential mechanisms, including differential earnings, health insurance, and health behaviors, using data from the Census, ACS, and NHIS.
Differential earnings and health insurance are of course related to the income boost that college graduates receive. It is the "health behaviors" that are learned/adopted by college graduates that are especially interesting.
The Economics of Higher Education, Part 4: Worldwide Returns on College
We've discussed before — in blog posts and a podcast — the value of a college degree. Writing for the New York Times Economix blog, Catherine Rampell points out that college degrees are particularly valuable in the U.S. "According to a report released this week by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, across the developed world the average person who has graduated from college (either two-year or four-year) and has any earnings makes about 57 percent more than a counterpart with no more than a high school education," writes Rampell. "In the United States, the comparable earnings premium is 77 percent."
Despite the value of a college degree in the U.S., college graduation rates in the U.S. are increasing at a much slower pace than in other rich countries. And, as Rampell points out, it's not just individuals in the U.S. that benefit from a college degree: "[T]he average return to taxpayers [of tertiary education for the average man] is $230,722 in the United States, versus less than half that, $104,737, across the developed world."
For more on "The Economics of Higher Education," see Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
Also: Oregon is thinking about letting students pay no college tuition, instead pledging a share of their future earnings. Lest you think this is straight out of Portlandia (like this is), know that Australia runs a similar college-tuition program.

text: Comedian Steve Martin Tweets Racial Joke, Sharpton and Others Silent by Javier Manjarres 23 Dec 2013 Share This: What if a Conservative or Republican would have tweeted this? Liberal comedian Steve Martin made a insensitive statement of Twitter, which quickly deleted, but not after the damage was done. Here is what TMZ reported: According to TMZ the 68-year-old comedian was having fun with grammar jokes onTwitter when a follower asked him, "is this how you spell lasonia?" "The Father of the Bride," actor responded, "It depends. Are you in an African-American restaurant or at an Italian restaurant." The original tweet had already gone viral and Martin once again asked for forgiveness. "I did apologize. But again, a second later I realized what an offensive thing I'd done ... In retrospect, bad joke." Of course we have all made off-colored remarks that have gotten us in hot water, and have hoped that because Americans are a forgiving people, we will be forgiven for are screw up. But can you imagine if someone like Sarah Palin, or any other personality that leans center-right, or to the right, would have made such a remark? Where is Rev. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the rest of their hypocritical race-baiting following, on the Steve Martin (big Obama donor) controversy?

While your quest to look sharp isn't so dire, tightly interlocked metal links are still your first line of defense—this time against a boring wrist.

Hi everyone, I'm White Shadow, a stunningly handsome 2 ½ year old white and gray cat. I arrived at Standish back in February after having already spent a fair amount of time at another shelter. Basically, I've spent a large chunk of my life in the "adoption system" waiting for someone to give me a chance at a good life in a forever home.
I'm a good guy, no, I'm a great guy . . . I just have a few issues . . . but who doesn't these days. I'm the type of guy that likes to get to know the people around me before showing affection and trust. It probably stems back to my childhood but I have few memories of those days.
I love hanging out with people, primarily the adult kind. I make a good companion cat . . . very low maintenance with few demands. I'm not the kind of guy you have to dote over. You don't have to buy me lots of toys or a fancy bed; I've learned to make do with the basics. All I need is someone to give me a chance. Someone who understands that a little patience, understanding and love are all some of us need.
I was recently moved into a room of my own at the shelter. I'm enjoying the fact that I don't have to share space (and volunteer time) with fellow feline roommates. I'm hoping that maybe someone will notice me now and take me home.
If you are looking for a low maintenance cat that would love listening to your stories after a hard day at work (or play) and provide you with companionship during these cold fall nights, I'm the guy for you. In an effort to find me a home sooner my Adoption Fee has been reduced to $75.
I sure do hope someone decides to give me a chance. My only wish right now is to be in a forever home for the holidays this year. Thanks for reading my story.

On this day in history:
June 22nd, 2000 | In her first official match, Trish Stratus teamed with Test and Albert to take on Lita and the Hardy Boyz. Trish spent most of her time in the match taking a Twist of Fate, being hit with a Swanton Bomb and receiving a moonsault, but she still managed to pick up the win for her team when Albert took out Lita and dragged Trish over her to make the pin. All of that made for a wrestling debut that was equal parts successful and unsuccessful. But hey, a win's a win!
What are your memories of this moment?
Note: This was originally posted on 6/22/12.
Also occurring today in history:
* 6/22/07 – Nancy "Woman" Benoit is killed.
What a memorable night. You can see, just from the length of this match how the women's division was rising and how the tag team division was flourishing!
It was a chaotic tag team match and I loved it. Perhaps WWE should book more like this! Let their tag teams shine and get some of the women developed this way instead of in sloppy singles matches! We need valets who aren't afraid to mix it up!
I really miss Lita.
Loved this Match it was a hot mess but a good start right there for 2 divas that feuded till the very end FANbloodyTastic ladies & gents
The in-ring debut of the GREATNESS DIVA EVER, TRIIIIIISH STRATUUUUUUUS!
Besides Stephanie McMahone being my favourite character & her feud with Trish.
Trish Stratus when she first started was my favourite diva & her feud with Lita & being a manager was my favourite Trish era!
This being the lead up to THAT AWESOMESAUCE 6-person Intergender match at Fully Loaded. Quite possibly the best feud ever, in the history of women's wrestling. Trish vs Lita will never die!
I one day secretly pray that the WWE let them both return for one final blowout feud, that would just be EPIC!!!
In-ring debut of the greatest diva ever! :"( I still remember watching this at the age of 4. The six person matches these teams had together >>>>> Love the attire by Trish here too. Ugh, she was slaying from day one.
Trish is such a champion that she could win matches even when she doesnt realize it. Lol!! Trish=Legend
The greatest diva ever???
wow the Legend that is trish first match and last match against lita
Bikini Model Destroyer, um is she not?
ROFL@ trish is the greatest diva more like the second/third or forth but not the first that's for sure that would be the 9th wonder…
loved lita & trish here,lita just woman handling trish & taking bumps from the guys..
Trish took bumps from guys beofre she even had a match.
But Lita fans claim she's the best in TIH posts about her, I can't do the same? Trish is definitely above that trash Chyna. Chyna can't wrestle her way out of a paperbag.
ROFL like trish was some master of wrestling bitch please just reply to me not beneath mine like where you usually are beneath people…
chyna did more than trish ever has in wrestling & way more popular so sit down….
Trish is indeed the greatest diva ever!!!!
Trish did much more for the women. How many women cite Chyna as their idol compared to Trish? Lol @ bitch, Trish was a far better wrestler than Chyna, very easily. Chyna only has her size, take thay away, and she has nothing.
Maybe you should sit down and practice what you preach and respect my opinion. Do I bash people when they post that Lita is the best?
ROFL trish did more for women??? get the fuck out with that bullshit..
chyna showed women could be seen as an equal.
she broke ground trish could never walk on so again just stop….
what did trish do?? she never blazed a trail like chyna did..
trish's skills weren't all that either but you'll praise her because you're bias end of story & doing porn doesn't make her trash either when porn is all you have to get off too…
i dont have to respect your opinion when its dead wrong..thats like you saying the sky is purple when its freaking not.
you do get pressed when people say lita is the best rofl…
She held the women's division together. Hell, without her there may have been no Golden Era. No, Chuna did nothing for the women. She found working in the divas division to be beneath her. She was so delusion to demand a higher pay than the WWE Champion. I never mentioned porn though…
Didn't say you have to, just practice what you preach and maybe go back to school to learn proper grammar! :) Here's the thing, my opinion isn't dead wrong, not even close. You are acting like I called Maria the best diva ever, for god sake. Not when it's not a debate. Check Lita's recent "today in history" posts and people call her the best and I don't shut them down.
Trish held the division together?? fuck you're delusional….bitch i don't have to do anything but shame your dumb ass for the stupidest comments ever or bias stupid comments ROFLMAO….
please don't tell me about grammar when you don't make sense..chuna? i don't shut them down? bitch please get a grip seriously…
chyna did more for women in wrestling than trish ever did or most women in wwe combined…
Chyna wasn't a bad wrestler at all. yea she didn't want to be in the women's division but she showed that the women are a threat and are equal.
Ivory confirmed this in her shoot interview. Trish made it all come together for the women during the Golden Era.
Yes, I misspelled one name, clearly I have poor grammar. You seem so bothered, I love it!
Oh yes, she did so much, I mean just look at how much she did in the actual division. Trish was a better talker and wrestler than Chyna. Let's not forget who is in the HOF first. Stay pressed that WWE recognizes Trish as the best and so do most fans.
Chyna would be in already if hhh hadn't cheated & that chyna did porn…
who deserves it more chyna of course & who broke ground for women chyna…
so what ivory says is fact?? ROFL..she complained about lita running the ropes when ivory couldn't bump to save her life LOL…

So, You Want To Meet The Baker?
Yes, you played 20 Questions with Tom from The Great Pumpkin, talking about food, baking, and why on earth anyone would write a food and humor tumblr in the 2nd person. Why on earth would you do this?
- Because Tom is fantastic.
- Because on April 30th you're reading at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe for Storychord's 50th Issue Party!
Said interview contains: you, food, and such gems as,
"That curd slapped me in the face. We don't speak of that cake in my house anymore."
Ahem. Hi, *I'm* the person behind ieatbutter. I bake and write, and also talk about myself baking and writing in the above link. If fiction is your bag and you're in the NYC area, drop on by the Storychord event and say hello!
My coffee will save me.
I did this last night, because Jennifer willed it to be so.
Vasant and I, having a pot of Lapsang Souchong (Vasant's favorite black tea) at the BEST tea place in Seattle, The Teacup.
Seattle is not a place known for tea, and a lot of the places that advertise for tea either overcharge for a substandard tea service or give you a fairly-priced substandard tea service.
This place is cozy, with lots of comfy chairs, lovely tables, a fireplace, wholesale tea, and tea classes to take. The tea service is priced insanely cheap for the best tea I've had on this continent. I haven't had this lovely of a tea time since being in England or at The White Heather in Victoria, BC (which is, by the way, the world's LOVELIEST tea service).
I'm so happy to have found a tea shop that I love that serves proper tea services. And I love that the table was big enough for us to write and draw without any spills occurring.
***This has been one of many teacup/coffeecup posts going up today, since Jennifer ordered them yesterday.
I always let my pies dance.
That's why they turn out so good.
You were making cake… then you found your spoon. It turns out you were making soup.
(Hey, nominate this tumblr for a Village Voice Web Award! Why? Because!)
An ex called you "inaccessible". You disagree. Just because you use pie crusts to wall yourself in your kitchen doesn't mean you're playing hard to get.

Maine Town Becomes First in US to Declare Food Sovereignty | Sustainable Cities Collective
The town of Sedgwick, Maine, population 1,012 (according to the 2000 census), has become the first town in the United States to pass a Food Sovereignty ordinance. In doing so, the town declared their right to produce and sell local foods of their choosing, without the oversight of State or federal regulation.
What does this mean? In the debate over raw milk, for example, the law opens the gate for consumer and producer to enter a purchasing agreement without interference from state or federal health regulators. According to the Mayo Clinic, a 1987 FDA regulation required that all milk be pasteurized to kill pathogens such as salmonella and E. coli. The Sedgwick ordinance declares that:
Producers or processors of local foods in the Town of Sedgwick are exempt from licensure and inspection provided that the transaction is only between the producer or processor and a patron when the food is sold for home consumption. This includes any producer or processor who sells his or her products at farmers' markets or roadside stands; sells his or her products through farm-based sales directly to a patron; or delivers his or her products directly to patrons.

Grandparents may worsen mothers' baby blues
Does living with grandparents ease or worsen a mothers' baby blues? The answer may depend on the mother's marital status, a study suggests.
Married and single mothers suffer higher rates of depression when they live with parents in their baby's first year of life.
"There is a strong expectation that married couples would be economically self-sufficient. Those are strong cultural values. So there could be a stronger sense of failure among married couples if they have to live with their parents," said lead author Joy Piontak a research analyst with Duke University centre for child and family policy.
The pattern held true for rich, poor and middle-class women, said the study that looked at a sample of nearly 3,000 married, single and cohabiting mothers.
We often talk about families in terms of mothers, fathers and children.
"Or we talk about the marital status of the mothers. Families are often a lot more complex than we imagine them to be, though. And that complexity can affect mothers' well-being," Piontak added.
For instance, married couples commonly expect to maintain a separate household.
Cohabiting couples do not always face the same expectations as other researchers have noted.
Still, Piontak cautioned that she can not say for certain what causal relationship is at play.
Living with grandparents may worsen depression for single and married mothers.
Or, depressed single and married moms may be less likely to move out from a multi-generational household, the study said.

Australian Rules Football Is Confusing, Violent, and Catching On
The latest sport to sweep the United States is Australian rules football which The Wall Street Journal characterizes as "a little like every sport we know in America—and unlike any one sport we know." Although this may sound hyperbolic, or simply incorrect, your blogger recently caught the end of an Australian rules football game on late-night/early-morning television and can attest to the veracity of this characterization. Imagine rugby, football, soccer, track, basketball, and a violent variant of ultimate frisbee dressed in vertical stripes: that is Australian rules football, or "footy." Teams of 18 players kick, hand off, and run an oblong ball in the direction of four goal posts of varying sizes that are located on each side of the field. Tackling is permitted; throwing is not. There are 40 footy teams in the United States. "I think what's attractive is it's very free-flowing, there's not a lot of restriction. There's no offsides and there's a lot of physical playing. It fills a void that exists here in New York City too. Maybe you have an office softball team, but that's not really competitive, like this," one player, a hedge-funder, told the Journal. If this interviewee is describing office softball as free of competition, the finance teams are amateurs compared to those of the New York media [/online/daily/softball] organizations. In any event, one question: what species of psychic animal predicts footy games? We would like to place some bets.

New JRuby Memcached Gem
Richard Huang about a new memcached gem built on top of spymemcached for JRuby that is compatible with Evan Weaver's memcached gem :
Quickly I replaced xmemcached to spymemcached, and memcached get time decreased to 40+ ms and it only generates 2 threads, awesome. And its hash and distribution algorithms are 100% compatible to libmemcached 0.32.
I just went through a similar experience trying to find a memcached library that works with both Ruby MRI and JRuby. I've ended up not finding it.

One of the more memorable moments of Mayor Martin J. Walsh's inauguration ceremony at Boston College's Conte Forum on Jan. 6 occurred during a musical interlude featuring Yo-Yo Ma, the 59-year-old Chinese American cellist who lives in Cambridge. Many in the audience anticipated that Ma might seek to tickle the mayor-elect's Irish heartstrings, given that the official program book promised a "traditional Irish melody" as part of his medley, which also included George Crumb's Toccata and Bach's Cello Suite No. 3.
As he took the stage, more than a few boyos in the forum were elbowing each other with wisecracks of the "Yeah, Marty's a huge Yo-Yo Ma fan" variety. But, when Ma eased into his interpretation of the mournful ballad "Danny Boy" — the smart talk ceased and the deep breaths began. Read more
On Jan. 6, the city and the region got its first extended glimpse of the political leader whom we've come to know, simply, as Marty. It was a good first impression and a reminder of why he won last fall: People want to like him.
They also want him to get better— to achieve more than even they thought he could. They still do. Like every one of us, he's a work in progress. And that has been the case with him since Day One of his move into politics.
For folks from Dorchester, he is now the vessel of their own aspirations: the kid from the three-decker on Taft Street who has beaten cancer, a drive-by bullet blast, and "the disease" to grasp his city's ultimate brass ring. Marty has become living, breathing proof that we can tame our own demons and even harness them for the purposes of a greater good— like ministering to an emerging generation of Bostonians whose futures are similarly imperiled by bullets and booze.

Dr. William T. O'Connell of Duxbury, a podiatrist who was known to many as Dr. Bill, led an active life well into his 80s. He traveled extensively, touring Russia and South America, among other places while making 21 trips to Ireland. He skied into his 70s, and, with his wife Rita, devoted considerable time and resources to a wide range of Irish cultural and historic organizations, giving special emphasis, much time, and frequent lectures to educate, entertain and raise funds for the Deer Island Famine Memorial.
Lenahan O'Connell of Jamaica Plain, who died on Jan. 5, celebrated his 100th birthday last June. While a handful of people achieve the centenarian milestone, not many do so having lived a life so large as Mr. O'Connell. From family and the law to the very history and politics of Boston from the 20th to the 21st centuries, this rock-ribbed Boston Irish Democrat, did it all, with a keen sense of justice, humor, hard work, and a commitment to people, whether his law clients or those in society who needed the most help.
Robert H. Quinn, a Savin Hill, Dorchester, native, recovered from a life and death bout with tuberculosis as a young man to became one of the Commonwealth's most powerful political leaders of his generation. Mr. Quinn, 85, was a state representative from Ward 13 who became speaker of the Massachusetts House and, later, state attorney general. He was a pivotal figure in bringing the University of Massachusetts to its present home on Dorchester's Columbia Point in the 1970s.

A tight-knit group of neighbors and family friends will form the nucleus of the inaugural Team MR8, a squad of 100-plus runners who will run in April's Boston Marathon in memory of Martin Richard, the eight-year-old Dorchester boy who lost his life in last year's terror bombing attack.
Each member of the team will raise thousands of dollars for the newly formed Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation, whose mission is "to honor Martin's message of 'No more hurting people – peace' by investing in education, athletics, and community."
Among those hand-picked by the Richard family and their foundation are close friends and neighbors, including Lisa Hourihan Jackson, Jose Calderon, Mike McCarthy, and Harry Benzan, who coached both Martin and his younger sister Jane, who lost a limb in the attack. Read more
Jack Shaughnessy grew up in Quincy, graduated from BC High in wartime 1944, served in the Navy, and afterwards worked with his brother Al in building a very successful crane and rigging business in South Boston. That is a spare biographical sketch, and only a small part of the Jack Shaughnessy the city of Boston came to know. Read more
The year's most indelible images, memories and emotions for the city — and certainly for Dorchester at-large— are connected to the April 15th terror attack on spectators and participants at the Boston Marathon. The bombings killed three and wounded hundreds more and the aftershocks of the two devices rippled across the nation and globe. But the epicenter of grief, in many respects, was here in our backyard, where the Richard family mourned the loss of their younger son, Martin, age 8, who was killed at the scene, while at once coping with grievous injuries to other family members, including Jane, age 7, who lost her leg.

Peter O'Toole met his goal: "To be the event!"
There was always that voice. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to speak with the legendary actor Peter O'Toole, who passed away last month at the age of 81, and I daresay that no one who ever talked to him in person or on the phone could ever forget his voice. No matter whether he was delivering cinematic performances for the ages in such films as "Lawrence of Arabia," "Becket," and "The Lion in Winter," or rendering the only notable scenes in several forgettable movies, that magnificent voice, his intense blue eyes, and a physical presence that captured every conceivable emotion and action made him arguably the finest actor of the past half-century. Despite all that, despite the fact that he was nominated eight times for Academy Awards, he never won. It is an appalling indictment of Hollywood that he has been dubbed "Oscar's biggest loser."

Clearing the decks soon to be draped in holly as the clock runs out on what's been another banner year in sports – especially if you hail from New England!
The scorecard for 2013 is stunning! A spectacular championship in baseball. In hockey, a precious near-miss as tender as any Cup might be. A festival of world-class dramatics in football that has become routine in the Belichick/Brady era. And if in basketball we had to accept the end of an era, your team, given its history, need never apologize. Read more
For the last 26 years, Robert O'Neill has been the director of the John J. Burns Library at Boston College. Now, as he prepares to retire this month and head for the warmer clime of Arizona, he leaves a deep legacy. The library, under his and his staff's tutelage, stands as one of the finest university research institutions anywhere. Its rich Irish collections have garnered worldwide acclaim, due in no small measure to the foresight of Robert O'Neill. Read more
The John J. Burns Library and The Center for Irish Programs at Boston College in collaboration with The John Boyle O'Reilly Society of Ireland, The Charitable Irish Society, and The Eire Society of Boston will be opening an exhibit entitled "John Boyle O'Reilly, His Life and Work" on Tues., Nov. 12, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Burns Library. Opening remarks will be made by the Honorable Richard Culhane, Lord Mayor of Drogheda and President of the John Boyle O'Reilly Society of Ireland. A reception will follow. Read more
"The Irish Immigrant Experience"
The effect on viewers was immediate…"Stop, I need to take a closer look!" The photo accompanying this article greeted visitors at a recent Irish festival. The 1939 study of Roxbury's Emerald Isle Orchestra elicited many comments:
Older folks remembered the Irish dance halls in Dudley Square; some recognized band members in the photo; younger viewers picked out other details – the two girls who must have been sisters; and one twenty-something musician commented on the group's slogan "For Music That Satisfies – Call Prospect 1046-J." Read more
The Boston Irish Reporter hosted its fourth annual Boston Irish Honors on Fri., Oct. 25, at the Seaport Hotel on the South Boston waterfront. The event, which marked the 23nd anniversary of the BIR, drew more than 300 persons to the mid-day luncheon. Read more
Before the gloves came off late in the Boston mayoral race – City Councillor At-Large John Connolly pointing to negative mailers from an outside group trashing his upbringing and state Rep. Marty Walsh accusing the Connolly campaign of phone calls testing negative messages about him – the candidates more often than not agreed with each other on the issues.
Voters will go to the polls November 5 to choose between the two, who have focused on their biographies: Walsh has been a state lawmaker and labor leader from Savin Hill for 16 years, while Connolly is an attorney and former teacher who has served on the City Council for six years and chaired the council's Education Committee. If either one is elected, control of the top job in City Hall will return to an Irish-American for the first time in 20 years, after Mayor Thomas Menino became the first Italian-American to hold the office. Both candidates also identify themselves as progressive Democrats. Read more
It was the socio-political equivalent of a late-summer thunderstorm: low-levels of thunder and lightning followed within hours by a fast-clearing sky.
The clouds began gathering on the edge of the horizon back in late May after state Rep. Linda Dorcena Forry, a Haitian American from Dorchester, defeated state rep. Nick Collins of South Boston in a special election held to fill a state Senate district seat that had been held by white, Irish-American male residents of South Boston going back generations. Each of them in succession had assumed as part of the job responsibility for organizing and presenting a breakfast in Southie every March as an adjunct to the St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
For a while, and just for some, the election left open to question the matter of who would be the organizer and emcee of the breakfast in March 2014. Would it be Boston City Councillor Bill Linehan, who had run the show this past March after state Sen. Jack Hart resigned his seat to join the private sector? Or would it be Sen. Dorcena Forry, for many the presumptive host, given the election results? Read more

Hyperion Records
Early Spring Afternoon, Central Park (1911) by Willard Leroy Metcalf (1858-1925)
Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York / Bridgeman Art Library, London
Track(s) taken from CDA67644
Digital booklet (PDF)
Recording details: February 2007
All Saints' Church, East Finchley, London, United Kingdom
Produced by Mark Brown
Engineered by Julian Millard
Release date: February 2008
Total duration: 2 minutes 11 seconds
'Outstandingly well sung and played, equally well recorded, and highly recommendable to all lovers of fine songs and fine singing' (BBC Music Magazine)
'This is a highly successful follow-up to Gerald Finley and Julius Drake's first Ives recital from 2005. Here there is the same sort of mix, from familiar songs such as
The Circus Band
to an early requiem for the family cat and the intriguing title song,
Romanzo, di Central Park
, with its obbligato violin part atmospherically played by Magnus Johnston. Finley is his usual charismatic self, at home as much in the hymnody as the parody, and he is careful not to over-sentimentalise the more homely numbers while injecting pathos into the war songs. Drake projects Ives's often complex accompaniments with clarity and style' (The Daily Telegraph)
'The programme has been selected and sequenced with care … the booklet includes not just texts but also comments by Calum MacDonald about every single song. Hyperion always gets these things right; even the cover art is a bull's-eye. Finley and Drake give no cause for complaint either … the engineers have done their work well. Finley and Drake are perfectly balanced and they perofrm in an environment of intimate warmth' (International Record Review)
'Finley is a wonderfully assured interpreter … perfectly registering their switchback changes of mood and presenting their occasional lapses into sentimentality with total conviction. More than any other performers on disc, Finley and Drake establish these songs, with all their quirks and flights of fantasy, among the most important of the 20th century in any language' (The Guardian)
'Gerald Finley has everything and more in his darkly full-bodied voice to match the often formidable technical and expressive requirements of Ives's songbook—reinforced by Drake's elastic, expressive piano … this is a must-buy album' (The Times)
'The variety of songs recorded here is extraordinary … Gerald Finley's warm baritone sits right inside Ives's soundworld, while Drake refuses to be fazed by the idealistic piano writing' (Classic FM Magazine)
'Listening to a collection such as this reveals genuine delights of phrase and harmony. These are, by and large, not songs for 'showy' singers, yet several of the numbers more citational of popular song do demand some verbal panache, which the Canadian bass-baritone can certainly supply, along with fine-honed dynamic control and a warm, solidly delineated tone … Drake, very sensitive as to tempo and mood, proves willing to haul out the trombones when needed' (Opera News)
'It's the best kind of fun. The astonishing range Ives exhibits in the 30 songs on the disc—some comic, others serious—is astonishing. Finley, in even better voice than on the Barber CD, and Drake, relishing Ives' complexities, dig deep into them all' (Bay Area Reporter, USA)
'Gerald Finley's second disc of Ives songs is every bit as wonderful as the first. Finley is the perfect song recitalist … he can sound dreamy, tender, raucous, heroic, and serene, all without ever disfiguring his timbre or letting the pitch waver. Julius Drake offers accompaniments that are as perfect and knowing as the singing, and the engineering couldn't be better … this is magnificent—vocal recitals don't come any better' (ClassicsToday.com)

The Light that is Felt
A tender child of summers three
The Light that is Felt
sets a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier, a poet Ives admired so much he sketched some of a
Whittier Overture
for orchestra. He seems to have set the poem first as an anthem for use in church in about 1895, and arranged the song version in 1904. The theme of the desire to recapture the faith and simplicity of the child is a recurrent one in his work.

It was so funny that just a little over a week ago we started receiving lots of Facebook photo posts of a hairstyle that we have had pinned on our "Try" Pinterest Board for awhile, by fans who wanted us to film a tutorial.
Then fans started emailing and tweeting the photo as well! Overall, we received likely received over 100 requests for this in under a week!
Since my daughters are totally loving pancake braids right now {braids that are flattened by tugging out the elbows of the braids}, it was easy to convince them to film a tutorial. Fans, this one is for you!
The base for this hairstyle, as seen in the original photo floating around, uses our Pancaked Dutch Braid technique. However, I did not pancake the Dutch portion of this braid because my #3 daughter has a little shorter hair and I needed as much length as we could get for the half-pancaked flower braid.
As my daughter wore this hairstyle around, people were stopping her all day to comment on how cute it looked! I am sure you will have the same response!
Feel free to use the braided flower bun by itself, or in any number of hairstyle combinations! This hairstyle is also perfect for weddings, formal occasions, flower girls, prom & homecoming updo's, etc!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair elastic, hairspray {if desired}, 1 small flower accessory for center of flower bun.
Time Requirement: 7-10 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
Happy Hairdoing!

I am always on the lookout for the next Waterfall Braid-type hairstyle!
About two weeks ago, a Twitter fan tweeted us a photo of a very intricately-laced bow braid hairstyle, and I thought the idea was so fun and unique! In fact, it was likely the most creative and cute hairstyle I have seen since the Waterfall Braid! So… I sat down to figure it out, but after many attempts I wasn't having much luck at all. Close, but nothing worth posting…
Another fan, Katrina on Facebook, posted her version along with a link to a low resolution Russian YouTube video showing the exact technique. The video was at times hard to follow, and it does not show a finished hairstyle, but it provided me with just enough info to be able to master the braid! With that, I am now ready to teach you all!
You can use The Bow Braid in pretty much any hairstyle as long as there is a three-stranded French or Lace Braid involved. It will work on short hair, medium hair, long hair, layered hair, hair with bangs, combos, etc.
In the tutorial, I show you how to do Bow Braid Ponytails, but I also show you on myself and the other daughters some finished looks for a braided headband, diagonal braid, and lace braid.
Items Needed: A brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, hairspray or pomade, a hairpin (not a bobby pin), and a few hair elastics.
Time Requirement: 10-15 minutes, depending on the hairstyle you choose.
Skill Level: Hard
Step-by-Step Instructions:
{You can see in the video that I mixed in the remaining tails of the bows back into the next strand. It may be easier and less "messy" to simply lay the tails alongside the French Braid and then bring down the next section of hair over the top for the next loop. As you finish the braid, most of the tails will be covered by the hair from the top. It all depends on how you want the bow braid to look.}
Happy Hairdoing!

* Note from Mindy: I know the title of this hairstyle will likely make some of you hungry! *joke* It sounds like something you could order from a corner bakery! Mmmmmmm!!! {If you like this hairstyle, please feel free to "FB Share" it, "Blog" it, "Tweet" it, "Pin" it, "Whatever-You-Want" it!}
These Pancake Braids {braids that are flattened by simply tugging on the elbows of the braids}, led us to create this flattened version of our Crown Braid…
My oldest daughter wore this braided hairstyle on the Anderson Cooper talk show in NYC last month, and we received so many comments from people all day long.
We knew we had to film this hairstyle tutorial when people stopped us all the time to ask how we did it!
{You will have to forgive my daughter's pink ears and cheeks in the video, as the previous day their school held a Renaissance Fair outside on a sunny afternoon!}
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, one hairband, hairspray {if desired}
Time Requirement: 5-10 minutes
Skill Level: Medium

Last weekend we filmed two Hunger Games Hairstyles based solely upon a few good photos we could find online, this one and the Prim Braids. {A few months ago we posted the famous Katniss Braid, the one she wears in the arena.}
We saw the THG movie Friday night, loved it, and we were happy that our hairstyles were fairly true to form!
We were also excited to receive an email from Linda Flowers, the Lead Stylist on set for The Hunger Games movie who had seen our hairstyles on YouTube and wanted to let us know that she liked them and that she wants to Skype me for a personal tutorial with her! I am so0000 EXCITED!!!
For this hairstyle worn by Katniss during "The Reaping" scene in the movie, you basically follow the same steps as we showed in the Prim Braids for the two French-backs into normal braids. The only difference is that you "fold in" and pin the lower braids into a flat, low bun.
The result is super cute, and sure to get you compliments!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, two clear elastics, several bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}
Time Requirement: 5+ minutes
Skill Level: Easy

After filming our segment on the Anderson Cooper show, Anderson stopped by the Green Room to visit with our little girls. He did not have to do that, as he had another show to film and CNN lineup later that evening!
Anderson was so nice to them, and really made my girls feel like a million dollars! Not that I wasn't a huge fan of his shows before {going back to Channel One with Lisa Ling}… but I am extremely loyal now for that reason alone! If you have not seen the Anderson talk show, I recommend that you do so!
My six-year old was in a particularly "goofy" mood, having an hilarious time teasing Anderson!
I quickly grabbed my iPhone and caught the tail end of their conversation as she told Anderson that he should get a mohawk! He laughed and said, "Sure!" We included the clip in the tutorial below…
Luckily for us, we had just filmed this Bun Hawk hairstyle a week ago!
Many of our fans have been requesting this hairstyle, since so many schools are having Crazy Hair Day at school! We had a very old tutorial in photos on the site, but a video certainly makes the hairstyle easier to follow!
You may also remember that this was my hubby's first contribution to our hairstyle repertoire, as this was his idea!
This hairstyle uses the bantu knot technique to form the hawk part of the hairdo. This is so easy to do and will guarantee comments all day long!
We use this style a lot when our girls are playing sports, because not only does it garner lots of attention… but it intimidates a little as well! The girls also wear this to 80's parties, along with Crazy Hair Day. It could be a fun gymnastics style, too!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 10 hair bands, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5-10 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
{If you have problems with thin hair or baby flyways, you may want to try a little pomade or hair fiber gum to help hold in the twisty buns, but this is completely optional.}
