Hey Library! I have been having issues with the article quick search the past few days. It keeps bringing me to a page that is not found when I search. Has anyone else been having these problems?
Comment from Krista on Oct 23 2014
Krista: When you say it is bringing you to a page that is not found, is that after you click the "Get It" button for an individual article? Or, are you not connecting at all? We are getting questions about connectivity and are advising students that they must use ResNet (see the next TalkBack). Please stop by Reference Desk or call us at (607) 274-3890 so we can help you trouble shoot.

Hi Library,
I currently cannot access two databases (WorldCat and JSTOR)...I'm not off campus. When I click on the hyperlink to get to those sites, I get an error webpage. Don't even get to the page where I sign in with my netpass username. Any insight?

Is it possible to request comic books and/or graphic novels (such as DC/Marvel/ Dark Horse) through Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?
Comment from Anonymous on Oct 18 2014
The IC Library purchases graphic novels, as do many libraries. Comic books, in the traditional newsprint format, are less frequently purchased and collected by libraries, so they are less likely to be available via Interlibrary Loan. If you would like to recommend graphic novels for the IC Library's collection, please use the Recommend a Purchase Form.

One-third of the Library loaner laptops are replaced every year. The laptops have from 4 to 8 gigs of RAM, Windows 7, and a 2.50 GHz or above processor.

Is there a way to create an online database for the CDs at the multimedia desk like there is for the DVDs? There is probably some useful stuff that we don't know about.
Comment from Anonymous on Oct 07 2014
Good question. CDs can pose a difficult problem because one CD can have many titles on it, not just one; this can make it trickier to find specific works on a CD, as well as being harder to make an alphabetical list with all the represented titles.
However, we'll look into the feasibility of doing a genre list for the CD collection. In the meantime, if you need help browsing the collection, visit the Music Reference Desk.

All of the library's spaces are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We recognize that space is at a premium and wish that we could offer more private spaces. You might check the rooms in the Digital Media Lab - they offer some privacy and are not always in use.

Due to documented connectivity issues, Gannett Center was identified as a priority site in the campus wireless upgrade project. Work should begin sometime this semester. We recommend that students use ResNet for internet access in the Library (vs. IC Airnet) as it is more stable.

It would be cool to have a microwave in the library for having lunch/dinner!
Comment from Carmen on Sep 30 2014
You are not the first person to suggest the addition of a microwave oven. At the present time, none of the items in the Library's vending machines need to be heated. Environmental Health and Safety has also indicated that cooking in the public area may set off the smoke detectors and cause an evacuation of the building; we would need a nonpublic location for the appliance.
There is a microwave installed in the Campus Center as many students and faculty members eat their meals in that facility.

We are able to provide full-text access to NYT through databases like ProQuest and LexisNexis. We realize this is not the same as browsing the NYT website, but if you're on the website and find an article of interest, you can then search it in one of our databases to find the full text.

There are literally no trash cans around campus, It's very inconvenient. If I were eating a banana around campus I would have to save the peel until I got into a building in order to throw it out.
Comment from Jade on Sep 10 2014
We checked with the Office of Facilities:
Research has shown that placing trash receptacles outdoors leads to an increase to litter in the outdoor space. Receptacles are located within the entry areas of buildings so that trash generated outdoors can easily be disposed of inside. Outdoor litter has not been a concern at IC, so they have opted to not clutter the outdoor areas with trash and recycling receptacles.

Can the library get a water bottle fill station at the water fountains? They are being implemented all throughout campus; three in the business school, three in Hill Center, one in campus center, one in park, one in textor, and one in the fitness center. I think that at least one should be put on one of the floors in the library. If we really want to promote the use of reusable water bottles on campus, then the building with the most amount of traffic should have at least one water bottle fill station.

We will forward your excellent suggestion to the Facilities Office. They are responsible for the installation of these stations.

Why are the new computers (Renewal Cycle A - specifically the Dell's) slower than the old computers? It took 5 minutes to start one up and open a web browse. My laptop is 2 years old and can get to the web quicker.

All of the desktop PCs' are similarly configured, so the renewal cycle does not matter.

What is the difference between the quick print station and the release station?
Comment from Anonymous on Aug 27 2014
Thank you for your question.
The Quick Print station (that has the A&E Center building as the background) is for a file that you have in an e-mail, Sakai or on a flash drive and need to print.
The Release Station (blue screen log-in page) is used when you are working on a library or personallaptop and/or prefer to create documents, upload them to webprint.ithaca.edu and print at a later time. Documents are held in Webprint for 24 hours.

Here is a super idea.
Books are a heavy load to carry, especially for those who have to take out a lot at once or walk to and from campus. What if the library created a state-of-the-art, cutting edge system of cubbies, in which students could leave their checked out books in the library so they don't have to carry them around all the time, yet can access them with ease? Not only would this save me from buying those awful backpack strap gels you see on those infomercials, but it would also allow me, with all that extra space in my bag, to pack an extra package of coconut cookies!

This is a super idea - our primary challenge would be space for such storage and how to distribute/assign available spaces. One positive aspect of electronic materials (ebooks and online journals) is that they require only virtual storage.

How many books, exactly, does the library have? Disregarding music scores. 3 floors is alot of space.
Comment from Curious on May 16 2014
There's a difference between talking about books as bound volumes and as titles. For instance, The Collected Works of Bernard Shaw is comprised of thirty separate volumes. So we'd count that as one title, but thirty items.
This is a broadly categorized breakdown of our physical holdings, as item counts:
Books: 259,246 items (includes music books, but not scores)
Scores: 28,880 items
Periodicals: 26,639 items
And, if you are curious, here's a title breakdown of our physical holdings:
General: 221,408 titles
Music: 35,572 titles
Periodicals: 1,551 titles
These counts do not include microform or electronic holdings, which account for a large portion of our resources.

I love the library's online catalog search! However, I do not love that after a period of time, the specific item information page defaults back to the library home page. It's frustrating to have tabs with books open and finally get to the point where I need to reference the information, only to have it revert back to the home page before I could take note. Is it possible to extend or eliminate this automatic redirect?
Comment from Anonymous on May 01 2014
I'm glad you like the search, and I'm sorry to hear you're having time-out troubles.
Here's how the time-out works: our system creates a new session for every instance that's open. In order to make sure the server isn't quickly overwhelmed with requests, there is a time-out set. We're already pushing the time-out to three times the recommended limit, so we're not able to change that time-out period.
Have you tried using the Bookbag feature in the catalog? Or Zotero or Mendeley? All of them are easy ways to keep track of bibliography info, and easy ways to get back to the materials you're interested in looking at again. Stop by the Research Help Desk, and we'll be glad to get you started. You can also check the guides linked in this talkback.

Much of the material in microformat has not been digitized. Publishers need to see a market for these materials before they undertake digitization costs.

Turn the heat down. No one likes to sweat & study!
Comment from Suggestion box on Apr 07 2014
While it is finally warming up outside, we may continue to see a wide change in temperatures. The Office of Facilities receives a number of calls with requests to "turn on" or "turn off" the heat based on the daily variance in outside temperature.
From Facilities:
Virtually all of our buildings are heated by large, commercial-size boilers and cooled by chiller units that run heated or chilled water through a piping system. The piping system in almost every building is a two-pipe system (supply and return). This means that only heated or chilled water can run through the pipes at any given time.
They will soon begin the process of converting heated water in the piping system to chilled water. We expect that Gannett Center will slowly cool down over the next few weeks. We will share your feedback with Facilities.

coffee is necessary at any time of day, especially morning! also, of all places there should really be a cigarette box by the main entrance of the library. the ground is covered in butts.

Dining services is considering additional services. We strongly agree on the need for a cigarette receptacle and daily maintenance have a request into Facilities.

I just read a tip on Salon.com how to get free ebooks -- check your library. It's true, but could we have some current fiction included?
Comment from Steff on Apr 02 2014
Currently our primary ebook platform is ebrary, and that collection has little or no popular fiction. Tompkins County Public Library, however, has popular ebooks available for download in a variety of formats and IC students may apply for library cards.
We are investigating the possibility of transitioning from our current audiobook service to a downloadable ebook collection.

It would be great if we had a cleaning station or some sort of cleaning wipes to use when sitting down to a computer. Often the keyboards are sticky and the tables are gross from food, making the computers less appealing to use. Also, I am huge user of the second floor computers by the windows and the new chairs are awesome, so thank you!
Comment from Josh Sacks on Mar 30 2014
Thanks for you suggestion - we will explore cleaning options with Facilities. We will also have student staff clean computer keyboards once a week for the rest of the semester.
We are pleased that you like the new chairs - they will be easy to keep clean and the casters make them easy to move when cleaning the surrounding area!

Why is the custodian vacuuming on the 4th floor at 11 AM? Isn't this the "quiet study" floor? Can the library staff please do something about this?

I think the coffee cart should be open earlier. When people come to study early in the morning they would love a hot fresh cup of coffee. I also do not like the automatic staplers.
Comment from Sarah Guarino on Mar 26 2014
We will be reviewing the current cafe service hours with Dining Services this week and will share your suggestion.
We have found that a heavy duty stapler is required due to the volume of printing; other brands of electric and non-electric staplers do not hold up under constant use.
Answered by Lisabeth Chabot, College Librarian
I think the coffee cart should be open earlier. They could open at 8am because people want coffee in the morning and close during the lunch hours. Then reopen again at 4pm.

I really think there should be a sushi bar in the library. Sushi isn't messy and it would definitely add to the ambiance. It's healthy and it would make this library so unique compared to other colleges.
Comment from Anonymous on Mar 07 2014
Food service across the College is determined by Dining Services in conjunction with the local department - in this case the Library. The current beverage service is sustainable in terms of required space, refrigeration, storage, staffing, revenue generated and hours of operation. The Library focuses on providing research and study space, services, and resources.

I am kind of frustrated with the recall process - I had a book recalled, I returned it, and put in my own recall request to continue using it - I have never received an e-mail saying it is in, but the system says it is available. I filled out a not on shelf form, but what is the normal procedure for where recalled books are stored so that I can ask the circulation desk to check there? I am frustrated that I am losing more time with this book because of an oversight or computer glitch.
Comment from Anonymous on Mar 06 2014
Books can be recalled if they are checked out to another person. Once recalled, this changes the due date to three weeks, or the original due date, whichever occurs first.
Once a recalled book is returned and checked out to the requesting patron, it can then be recalled by the next person; the due date is three weeks from the check-out time.
When a recalled book is returned, the requesting patron receives an e-mail stating that the book/score is available for pick-up at the Circulation Desk.
To speak to a library staff person regarding a specific recall, call 274-1689.

The amount of people talking on their phones in the library is ridiculous. Whenever I'm in the cubicles on the third floor there is someone who is having an obnoxious conversation.
Comment from Ryan on Feb 21 2014
It's the busy time of the semester again, and the Library does get a little noisy. Try asking the cell-phone user to move to one of the stairwells. Another option is to check out a laptop and go up to the fourth or fifth floor. These are designated quiet floors.

Is there a bulletin board or space in the library where student organizations can post fliers and advertisements?

Quick question - any particular reason why the favicon for the Ithaca Library website is the same design as the air vents in the library? Were the air vents a design inspiration for the website? Was the website a design inspiration for the air vents? Was this intentional or just a happy coincidence? Either way, MIND BLOWN.

Is there a way to send documents to the library printers from our own laptops? If not, can the library look into this?
Comment from Anonymous on Jan 23 2014
Unfortunately, there is no way to do this at the present time. The library printers are part of the campus-wide printing system managed by ITS. ITS is gathering data in preparation for implementing a print management system by Fall 2014. One of the objectives of this project is to provide printing from personal devices.

How many times can a student renew an item?
Comment from Anonymous on Jan 09 2014
Students may renew library-owned books, music scores and multimedia materials twice if the item has not been recalled. Each loan period is 1/2 a semester, so a student who renews an item twice will be able to borrow the item for 1.5 semesters.
If an item has been renewed twice and is still needed, please contact staff at either the Circulation or Multimedia Services Desk.
See the full policy here.

Is it true that the Library is eliminating fines?
Comment from Anonymous on Jan 09 2014
The Library will no longer charge students overdue fines for library-owned books, music scores and laptops.
Overdue fines will be charged for:
*Interlibrary Loan items
*Multimedia items
*Recalled and Special Permission items
All items not returned within fourteen days of their due date are charged the replacement cost; hourly loan items, such as laptops, are billed one-day after their due dates. The replacement cost is waived if the item is returned within thirty days. After that time, charges are sent to the Office of Student Financial Services and are non-refundable. See the full policy here.

Does the library have a collection of all the textbooks that are used for courses?As a general rule, the Library does not collect textbooks for courses offered at the College. This is not because we are trying to make students' financial situations more challenging.
During a typical academic year, there are approximately 2800 undergraduate and 450 graduate courses taught at IC. Using 3 texts as the average required for each course, this equals approximately 9750 books. Also, textbooks tend to be frequently updated.
In recent academic years, the Library budget has allowed for the purchase approximately 5,800 new books and ebooks to support the current research needs of all departments and programs on campus.
We do not have the funds to purchase current textbooks, while at the same time supporting student and faculty research needs.
Faculty sometimes place copies of textbooks or chapters from texts on reserve or ereserve. If you're not sure whether your professor has put your course's textbook on reserve, search the Reserves site to see what is available.
Please note that, as academic libraries generally do not purchase textbooks, they are not available on interlibrary loan. The IC Library does not fill Interlibrary Loan requests for textbooks in current use at the College.
The Ithaca College Bookstore provides a rental service and sells textbooks. Additional rental/purchase sites:
Amazon also rents textbooks as of Fall 2012.

I understand that the second and third floor of the library are designated as group study, however, every time I am in the library groups are so loud and disrespectful it drives me crazy. I realize the fourth and fifth floors are for quiet study, but I can barely hear my group discussing at a moderate volume on the lower levels. Is there any way to remind patrons that while the floor is group study, they should still try to keep the volume down to a respectable level? It would go a long way towards creating a more positive library environment.Given the open nature of the library's architecture, noise levels are hard to manage. Try asking people to be quieter--this usually works. If it doesn't, please see a Library staff member, who will use his or her magical librarian shushing powers.

On her new TV series "The Beautiful Life," Mischa plays a drug-addicted model.
She looks great. Good for her.
that doesnt even look like her at all....
She'd look better naked... just sayin'...
She just gets fuglier and fuglier!
she looks like CRAP.. look at those tree stump legs.. nice flower power look with the hair. No more hot young girl.. the wall is there..
She looks happy and healthy. Hope she keeps it up.
she is a joke
so she won't have to be doing any acting on her new show...it just might be a hit!
I wouldn't mind banging her mouth with my stick.
Give Mischa a break, how did she become so hated hang in there Mischa I am due a 5150 soon.......
I think she is perfect for the part.
How pathetic! She should be in long term rehab, not on her way to film a tv show. It's only a matter of time folks....
Yeap, poor thing hasn't had any hot beef "sandwiches" for two whole weeks... I wish I could help her out!
Shapeless, ugly legs. Probably a publicity stunt considering she has a new show.

George Zimmerman, state-sanctioned killer
For all the talk about cloudy evidence in the George Zimmerman trail, the basic facts were crystal clear.
Zimmerman stalked Trayvon Martin, an innocent kid walking home from the store with candy in his pocket. Whatever confrontation they had, whatever violence they engaged in — none of it would have happened if Zimmerman had simply minded his own business.
I'd call Zimmerman a vigilante, but that would imply that Martin had actually done something wrong.
George Zimmerman is just a killer. And even the warped Florida laws that make vigilantism legal should not have kept him out of jail.

Alex Poythress has been a polarizing prospect since getting to Kentucky. The athleticism, the dunks and the occasional flashes of jaw-dropping feats have left fans and pro teams wanting more. That won't change next season.
Poythress has been in a peculiar situation with the Wildcats since his freshmen year. In 2013, he played 64.1 percent of possible minutes in 33 games, but watched that number drop to 45.5 percent this past season. Some of that can be accredited to playing behind Julius Randle, while the rest might have to do with Poythress' lack of a position.
The 6-foot-7, 240-pound Poythress doesn't have the outside shot or ball skills to play a wing position on the perimeter, but lacks the requisite height to play consistently near the rim. The same situation will happen next year, as Poythress now finds himself not only trying to find his niche on a basketball court, but also battling five other players for what could be two positions.
When Poythress chose to return to Kentucky for his junior season back in April, he stated a lot of the usual stuff most pro prospects say when they decide to skip out on the draft. He mentioned that he wanted to make sure he was as "NBA-ready" as possible before leaving school. While many others in his position have said the same words before — and many will after — those words couldn't be more true in his case. It doesn't have much to do with his body, strength, or anything else for that matter; it has everything to do with his shooting.
The pro game is changing every season and it continues to move towards a "smaller" game where just about everyone on the floor can shoot — even stretch out to the 3-point line. As a big in today's NBA, you better be able to protect the rim or stretch the floor. Poythress, as of now, struggles with both. While the likelihood of him growing three or more inches in a year, the smart play is to start shooting 3s and prove he can knock them down enough to make him somewhat of a threat. If that happens, the rest of his game and athleticism will play up fine at the next level.
Poythress attempted 33 threes each in the past two seasons with Kentucky and he made a grand total of 22. If he wants to be as "NBA-ready" as possible, then both numbers must rise; the 3-point attempts and the makes.
If Poythress is able to accomplish this, he'll not only help his chances at the next level, but he'll also make next year's Kentucky team even more dangerous. If Poythress plays at the typical "small forward" position next season without the outside shot — next to two other bigs — teams will be able to sag off of him and clog the paint. With the amount of bigs Kentucky has and the return of the Harrison twins, offensive spacing will be vital.
Not only will Poythress add another dynamic to Kentucky's offense if he starts taking and making 3s, but he'll also unlock more lineup combinations. If John Calipari is interested in going "small" next season and use three-guard lineups, he'll need Poythress at the power forward position to provide the spacing that will be huge for the 'Cats.
Poythress can improve his future and Kentucky's immediate future if he is able to develop a 3-point shot — making him the ultimate "wildcard."

I grew up in a rough rural area and I remember seeing some major catfights back in the day. You wouldn't want to cross any of the chicks involved in those brawls because they didn't show any mercy as they punched, scratched and pulled hair. I'm sure it turned on a few onlookers, but these hardened gals were a bit too intimidating for me. I prefer the ladies on F F Fights, who may be just as fierce, but have a more feminine flair to their aggression.
It helps that the ladies on FFFights are all wearing lacy or silky lingerie. In some cases they're completely topless or even naked. They'd probably still end up knocking me out with a sucker punch if I tried to intervene. I'd be too busy staring at their breasts and other body parts to concentrate on anything else.
At any rate, the fights seem fair enough in the 427 videos. Some can be downloaded in a Windows Media format with or without a secondary MP4 option, while others are available as MPEGs. The videos offer mostly good-quality playback, although the newest come in Full HD and you can choose to stream the movies online, if you prefer.
I know this all sounds terrific, but I should point out that most bouts last under five minutes. When I said before that the fights seemed fair, I meant the opponents look about equal in size and strength. They may be physically matched, but there's always one combatant who dominates the other. By the end of the bout, the lady who managed to lose without being knocked out is more than ready to give up and grovel at the victor's feet.
There are also 426 photo galleries to download in Zip files and view in slideshows. The pictures are sharp and high-res, so they show a lot of detail. Many of these models give a whole new meaning to the term "fine fighting form."
There are no bonus sites, but you can check out Damsels In Peril and Femme Fight if you're willing to pay a little more. Extras that you can access for no additional fees include an index of all the "fighters" and a message board. Updates get posted weekly, but there's a download limit of 3GB per day. F F Fight is a pure delight if you like to see lightweight females in hand-to-hand combat.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as Kerry McLean seems to enjoy every day of his life – riding around on a home-made monowheel vehicle.
The video below is not about tools, but is related to tools because you don't build something like this without owning tools and knowing how to use them.
McLean built his first monowheel in the 1970s, but monowheels have been around for close to 150 years. Early models were pedaled or cranked. I particularly like the D'Harlingue Monowheel, a propeller-driven model from 1914. More odd and unusual monowheel vehicles can be found here. Let me know if you find one with tool boxes, a hitch, and a ladder rack.

Lifestyle: A Tale of Two Belgian Cities
Bruges, Belgium, was but a blip on the tourist map until the movie In Bruges hit theaters in 2008. The dark comedy, featuring a duo of Laurel-and-Hardy-type hit men, resonated with audiences that were intrigued by its twisted plot, but also by its deliberate obeisance to a city that had managed to elude most American tourists.
The success of the film sparked an uptick in travelers to Bruges. People even learned how to pronounce its name (broozh). Yet despite the national media blitz, most American travelers still view Belgium as a mere trifle–like the amuse-bouche before a gourmet meal. It's often passed through, or over entirely, en route to somewhere else perceived as more significant, like Spain or Austria.
Belgium is certainly small. You can drive across it in three hours. On a map it looks like the thyroid of Europe–a small land mass squished between the Netherlands, Germany and France. Yet this Maryland-sized country is far from indistinct. Its capital, Brussels, is the de facto capital of the European Union. It also has three cultural communities–Dutch, French and German–and despite its national motto, "strength through unity," the northern, Dutch-speaking Flanders region and the southern, French-speaking Wallonia are notorious for their antagonism. Bickering between the regions' political parties beginning in 2010 led to a 20-month stalemate without a national government–a world record.
Having seen In Bruges, I did some research on the medieval city and found numerous draws. Bruges is clearly the jewel in Belgium's crown. But I also discovered scores of comparisons between Bruges and another Belgian city–Ghent–which is also in the Flanders region. Intrigued by the pair, I set out to see whether the more-obscure Ghent could measure up to Bruges' storied reputation.

Northern Myanmar: Land of 1960s Travel
The eyes are upon me. Everyone is watching. As I walk down the street, people turn with varied inquisitiveness. Some throw subtle glances; others prefer the long-stare. Some smile, some giggle, but everyone looks without fail.
I feel celebrity-like, more-so than I ever have done in my short life. It should feel weird, odd or hit a nerve, but instead it's welcoming. I'm a pilgrim in a country still opening up to tourism. It feels like travel should. Neighbouring Thailand is indifferent to me, almost angry at my western ways. Myanmar instead opens its arms in a giant embrace.
The best kind of smile is real. Not the tip-laced service grin, nor the faux mock, but a loving open one only found in a place where consumerism hasn't penetrated with its cold hands.
Call Me Myanmar
Five days isn't enough to experience the wonders of Burma (or as it likes to be called now, The Royal Kingdom of Myanmar). You can do what I did – Mandalay to Bagan and back to Mandalay – but you'll feel upset on departure. Myanmar is still a country of shocking poverty while reeling from sudden open borders and a fading oppressive government.
It is a land of beauty, welcoming people, incredible sights and west-adverse tradition. Local attire is still worn, horses draw carts and everyone seems to know everyone, even in the large city of Mandalay. Dusty trials are only just being overcome by modern roads. Wild dogs roam the streets. It is dirty.
However, all this chaos combines in a whirlwind of incredible smells, sights and taste. At first you don't know how to cope, but soon you relish the random power cuts, the incessant beeping of mopeds and the bartering for goods.
It Began with Bagan
"Clip clop," goes the rhythmic song of the horse. The ground is arid, the horizon littered with stupas of all sizes. The hot sun beams down, intermingling with the kicked up dust to create a hazy, Indiana Jones style scene.
"This is far from the hippie north of Thailand," I think to myself. It is the first time I realise what Myanmar is about. Free from the dark shackles of anti-malaria medicine, I take in everything.
A country both reluctant to change and eager to modernise – there is a push-and-pull feeling almost materialising in the air. The guide is old-school, but he chatters on his phone on his break.
The Ancient City of Bagan is a must-see; one of the true wonders of the region. Flat plains give way to pyramids, temples and forts. It is a shadow of its former self, but what a shadow it is. The holy repetition stretches as far as the eye can see; sunset being the best time to take in the view.
Children hide behind their parents' legs, peeking out to say some token words of English. Most wave from afar, some have cottoned on to what tourism means for them; money. They might sell postcards and tell you some history for a tip, but it's done in a way that's polite, hospitable and without any hint of a scam.
They're just doing what the Burmese people know best to do – putting a smile on your face.
Long Bridges & Long Boats
45 minutes up, 45 minutes down goes the Mandalay Hill mantra as the steps continue upwards. I trudge through mini bazaars, past beverage sellers, around miniature Buddhas and eventually, to the top of the scenic point.
Steps, steps and more steps – that's the rule of climbing the famous hill.
A camera fee of 500 Kyat greets my pilgrimage and I sneakily ignore it with my iPhone. Mandalay stretches far into the distance; its Palace ring road carves a perfect square out of the city.
The largest city in the north couldn't be any further from the historical flatness of Bagan. Mandalay has sadly already begun its sprint into the modern era. Banks are beginning to allow foreign ATM cards, Internet is offered in upmarket hotels and restaurants, and the youth of the city are wearing trousers. Still, it feels completely different to the rest of the world.
- Take the boat from Mandalay to Bagan – it captures the slowness of Burmese life
- Book in advance if you can otherwise you might be stuck with expensive hotel rooms
- Hostels don't really exist in the country; neither does internet booking
- Bring dollars, crisp / no tears / folds to change to Kyat
- Talk to everyone you meet – they want to learn about the world
- Expect gifts from street sellers, locals and children
Around Mandalay
The scooters beep continuously, there are no street lights at night and aside from the main Palace road, the majority of roads are unkempt and wild. Aged men sit on corners chewing a tobacco substance which stains the road and their teeth red every time they spit.
Why do they do it? No-one knows. Everyone who's asked says it's a bad idea, yet still offers a token try. This is Burma, or Myanmar. It is a country of two halves. Even the world doesn't know what it should be called. There are always two sides to a story and Myanmar has many faces.
The only consistent thing is that it's wearing a smile.
I travelled to Myanmar for five days in February 2013.

Thanks Dad, it was hectic in Mandalay, but Bagan was very tranquil. Not as tranquil as the island I'm on now!
Steph (@ 20 Years Hence)16 May, 2013
Amazing write up, Marco! We have been dithering about whether to head to Myanmar while we are in Asia, and your post has given us a lot to think about. We know it is a country that is changing so quickly, but we wonder if that golden window to visit has already passed… it seems like more and more travelers have been visiting only to be met with astronomical lodging costs and large foreign crowds. We've been worrying that the country may have far more demand than it can really deal with, and it might already be too late to go there and expect a pure, untainted travel experience. It sounds like you had a truly unforgettable experience and there is still plenty of the country that is untouched by tourism.
Marco Fiori2 June, 2013
No problems, thanks for the comment. I really do recommend people visit Burma. It's so much different compared to the rest of the South East Asia.

Teeth yellow as you get older, and they can also get stained by tobacco, wine, coffee or tea. Read on to learn how you can whiten your teeth.
To whiten your teeth, make sure you brush and floss at least twice a day. Flossing is incredibly important and not only helps to get rid of stains between your teeth, but can even add years to your life! You can also use a daily whitening rinse, which uses hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria and bleach stains on your teeth. Many people find that using whitening strips gives them a cleaner, brighter smile for up to one year after use.
Seeing a dental hygienist for a cleaning isn't too expensive and makes your teeth look much better. You should see a dentist twice a year for cleanings and to make sure you have healthy teeth and gums. Dentists can also administer chair-side whitening treatments that don't take long and keep your teeth whiter for about three years.
It's important to note that if you have white spots on your teeth, whitening bleach is generally not effective. These spots are caused by nutrition, genetics, or an excessive intake of fluoride. Usually you'll have to opt for a more expensive treatment to get rid of these spots. Bonding, veneers and fluoride treatment are options you can discuss with your dentist.
If your teeth are still yellow or spotted and you have the money to spend, see your dentist for crowns of veneers. Veneers can cost upward of $1000, but they last at least 10 years and give your teeth that ultra-white, movie star look.

text: This last week I've been drinking a little more than my doctor would like. Yesterday I stayed in bed all day because I was so hungover. What did it was the pack of cigarettes I smoked. I don't smoke when I'm sober anymore but when I drink I like to pick up the habit and IT KILLS ME! It could have also been the bottle of champagne I popped at the end of a very expensive night in Hollywood. I was supposed to go to a friend's house and help her sew a dress for one of her projects but when she canceled I met up with some friends at the Chateau Marmont. It's always Pretty People Parties in Hollywood. When the girl with fake tits sat on my lap I asked if the older gentlemen she helped put in a cab earlier was her boyfriend. She said no, that it was her 65 year-old father visiting from Texas. He bought her those breasts and also recently divorced his wife of 30 years. I asked how her mom was taking it and she said that she was fine. "She gets half the cattle ranch so it's all good," she said. I love how hallow Hollywood is and how easily I can get sucked in it.

I'm a proud and involved father, technology entrepreneur, and upright bassist. I live in beautiful Denver, Colorado, USA, and work everywhere. I believe technology and business can be a force for good in the world, and do my best to make that a reality.
My amazing wife runs a web design studio and online magazine. We are both blessed with flexible work arrangements, and two beautiful daughters (2 1/2, and 6 months).
I've been the primary founder or co-founder of several organizations including: my college fraternity, an on-site computer repair business, a Colorado nonprofit technology meetup, a Drupal web development firm, an online volunteer tracking application, and a smartphone tour application for visual art.
I started playing upright bass about three years ago, and took an interest in bluegrass in 2012. I play bluegrass at jams and informal circles, and will lead a family-oriented outdoor jam at Berkeley Park in Denver in the summertime.

Lord Chief Justice fights Govt's judiciary intrusion
Readers' comments (1)
Lord chief Justice Fights Govt's Judiciary Intrusion.
I not only agree with Lord Phillip's argument, I also believe very strongly that Government should not have a say on who is to become Attorney General. It is so very important that the people see the Judiciary as completely independent. Many people have lost faith in Government and the Parliamentary system at present, it is therefore very important that these same people can rely on a fair trial without fear or favour. That Judges still have the Royal Coat of Arms behind their chair is of some comfort, but that too would mean nothing if any Government had a hand (or voice) in choosing who shall sit in that chair.

New restaurant in Byram, CT - Char?
Drove past the old Greenwich Oyster House in Byram, CT (right by the bridge into Port Chester" and all of a sudden the gradual renovation I've been looking at seems pretty much done. It's called Char - I presumed after the fish, but Husband rightly pointed out it could also mean grill/barbecue type thing. A quick search yielded no results, but for what it's worth, thought I'd share here!
I've noticed that, too. Not getting my hopes up but it would be great to have a quality addition to the area over there. And that location has potential being on the water with decent parking and near other popular area restaurants like Tarry Lodge. I'm curious too what Char refers to and am hoping it's not another BBQ joint since we already have a bunch in the area (Dinosaur BBQ being the best)
re: Mrs.Sean
I woudl think it was a good location with plenty of parking, but every restaurant that's gone in there for about 20 years has been a failure. Odd, when people are willing to truck over to the Tarry Lodge in droves. My guess is without the Batali name, it's hard to get people to a higher priced restaurant in that area.
re: rjka
I think the place and space has to warrant the price at any point. We were last at Greenwich Lobster House ( or whatever its last incarnation was) and it was dingy and not very good at all. Hence it closed eventually. That said, it wasn't a cheap evening out and we don't mind spending for good food, drink and atmosphere- but it wasn't either of those.
It's not BBQ. It's Mediterranean/Modern American. Owned by the same people that own Dolphin Restaurant in Yonkers.
We had a nice meal there this past sat night. Restaurant décor is very cool and interested, food is good.
I would recommend a try for all you local foodies in the area.
The bar area which is more separate looks more on the casual end and I don't know if the menu is different. We ate in the main dining room.
