Best way to box up cookbooks for long-term (2-3 years) storage?
- The Dairy Queen Jul 28, 2014 06:49 AM
OK, I've done a few cookbook culls in recent years, but I still have too many cookbooks I'm not using. These are books I've cooked from and loved, but just don't have the time or head space for right now. I hope that will change in the next few years and that I'll be ready to cook from these books in a few years.
I'd like to box these beloved books up for a while to make some space.
Honest question: what is the best way to pack up books for storage?
Do I lie them flat or on their spines or what? Cardboard boxes or plastic totes? Also, I'd like store them in the basement, because that's where I have space, but like most basements, it can get pretty damp (even though we run a dehumidifier throughout the spring and summer). Is there a way to protect them from mildew by putting silica packets in there or something? And, finally, any thoughts on the optimal sized boxes?
Thank you!
The Library of Congress has you covered: http://www.loc.gov/preservation/about...
And no, storing in the basement is *not* recommended.
Having had to box up books during my recent home renovation, I can say this; keep the boxes small. Books are heavy, dammit! Even a medium-sized storage box from Home Depot filled with boxes can be a challenge.
re: mcsheridan
Thank you, wow, that's pretty sobering.
I keep papers in two of the currently available plastic boxes you can get at Staples or Office Depot -- are those "totes"? -- and even after five years, I can still smell the chemical compound they are made from. I don't find my documents smelly, though.
I don't know how books would do in such an environment -- not a choice I have to make today -- but I am purposely not using them to store CDs because I don't want to expose the CDs, their booklets, or their jewel cases to whatever makes the plastic boxes stink. Instead I keep my stored CDs in cardboard boxes (some are still on shelves).
OK, these links make me feel like I shouldn't be permitted to own books at all! No wooden shelves allowed! Don't let your books get dust on them! (Live in the real world much?) Don't let your books lean!
Good grief.
ETA: this is obviously not going to be as easy as I imagined if I want to ensure they won't get damaged. :(
re: The Dairy Queen
Exactly. When you say beloved, what you don't want is to come back in 2.5 years (or more, best-laid plans and all that) and find one or more precious possessions mouldered, gone brown, whatever.
Of course, wooden shelves are what we all are pretty much used to, and for books in use, I doubt it's a biggie. They are archivists and are thinking both optimally, and really seriously long-term.
Still, it doesn't take long for other storage errors to cause damage, so look for archival storage boxes, and good luck.
re: mcsheridan
Thank you. Sorry to be crabby. I was just hoping for an easier solution to the current problem of having no time and feeling overwhelmed. :) But, if I wasn't prepared to hear the answer, I shouldn't have asked!
It's really good info to have, so thank you very much.
re: The Dairy Queen
When I broke up my mother's home a year ago, I took the cookbooks that I don't already own and paid my youngest $8 per book to scan them into my computer. I then burned CD roms for each sibling and my older kids. I gave the books to our library charity book sale. I have an unfinished basement not suitable for book storage.
re: bagelman01
Can I pay him $8 per book, too? :)
re: The Dairy Queen
If you are interested in having this done consider reaching out to the local high school or even a nursing home. When my dad was relegated to a wheel chair he volunteered to do scribe and copy work at the local historical society where he essentially did what Bagelman mentioned. When my Aunt wanted to transfer a lifetime of photos to disc she recruited the high school photo club to do it for a nominal fee plus supplies.
re: foodieX2
Interesting idea!
re: The Dairy Queen
Home Ec is making a comeback in some school so maybe even a culinary class might be interested or the culinary program at a local vocational school. You could offer to donate the cookbooks in exchange for them scanning.
re: foodieX2
Another terrific idea!
re: The Dairy Queen
have scanner will travel?
re: The Dairy Queen
Boxing them up for a couple of years probably won't be a problem. I'd put them in some plastic bins with locking lids to help with the moisture problem. It won't be 100%, but at least you have better insurance against floods and the like.
As for letting the books go - you have a young child, and very young children don't give you the headspace for serious cooking. As a mother of a 2 year old, I sympathize heartily. BUT I also have a 7 year old, and I can see from her that this overwhelmed all the time feeling is just a season, and you'll probably return to the kitchen at some point.
After a couple of international relocations, I would wholeheartedly suggest you just let them go to be a part of someone else's life.
I know it's hard to let go of stuff (believe me, I do) -- but if you have already ascertained that you're not going to use them in the near future, then don't let them weigh you down, either. We found boxes after both moves that we hadn't unpacked after a year or two...if you haven't used it (or even thought about it...)in a year or two, the chances of your EVER using it are slim and none. Let it go.
With eBay and Amazon and Half.com just a few keystrokes away, you can always purchase something you wish you hadn't gotten rid of.
re: sunshine842
Yeah, I'm suddenly realizing this isn't the quick and simple solution I thought it was. I need to reevaluate. Except for my very very favorites, it might just be time to let these books go for now.
re: sunshine842
Would it be dumb to say that letting these books go would feel like saying goodbye to part of my identify and that I'm not totally sure I'm ready to say this may no longer be a part of me...or that it might not be a part of me again for a long while?
re: The Dairy Queen
Not at all. We all have what others might feel are irrational connections to things we have lovingly collected over the years. Letting go is always difficult.
re: The Dairy Queen
not at all, because I felt the same way about my collection.
I had no options, because I was paying by the pound for our move...and it killed me to let them go.
By the time we got to our destination, with all the stress, I was mostly glad to not have one more stinking box of anything to unpack.
I think about those books I got rid of...but like past loves, I've yet to miss them enough to try to replace them....
re: sunshine842
unless there are personal/individual notes in the margins it's so easy to replace it.
re: hill food
As someone who only makes notes in most-loved cookbooks, the presence of that many notes in my books would mean that they were too well-loved and well-used to get rid of.
My copy of Joy is so broken, dog-eared, and stained that it's almost unusable. I'm in the process of transcribing all the gibberish to a new copy.
re: sunshine842
in your own personal twin-talk type language, right?
I know, I spent a week scanning my grandma's handwritten cookbook, partly for the notes, partly for the handwriting.
re: hill food
the page for roasted turkey is lined with notes for how long the turkeys would be in the oven for a half-dozen years, including the crazy T-day dinners we hosted in France (those include lbs/kg conversions). I'm toying with using those pages in some sort of collage.
I was given my grandmother's recipe box...my favorite is a recipe for a deadly alcoholic punch recipe -- on the back of a church offering envelope! :)
re: sunshine842
re: hill food
I've never even made it, because it's got so much of so many liquors it mostly looks like a hangover waiting to happen -- but it makes me laugh every time I see it.
My project is to scan all her recipes and bind them for all my cousins (along with interpretations -- I was the only one who was old enough to cook with her very much, so they still ping me on Facebook to make her recipes)
re: The Dairy Queen
Here's a thread from last year where Breadcrumbs did a lot of 'purging' and a number of us did the same:
I found it quite easy but then I purge all sorts of books periodically. The library loves getting them.
re: c oliver
Actually, it was a thread I posted prior to that talking about my cookbook purge that inspired breadcrumbs to post that thread and start on her own journey of purging. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8835...
All the books that are left are ones I really love and want to keep but don't have time to cook from right now. I don't want to purge them. I want to put them away for awhile.
re: The Dairy Queen
If you are saving a book for one or two recipes,, maybe check the 'net to see if they are listed anywhere before parting with the books?
(I had to store over 30 years of books, some valuable, some signed, some old favorites for about 6 months, only one or two cookbooks however and lost them all to a flood. I was pretty devastated for a couple days. But, I do have to say my next move was a lot easier.)
re: The Dairy Queen
I think of my books as my leafy friends, so no, it's not going too far. That said, I am selling my beloved friends on Amazon. I realize this is not a course open to you as it is time consuming and can be frustrating.
I decided that I need to be able to move my furniture without spending days just moving books. I finally decided to sneak the idea of letting go of my books past myself by incorporating the deed into a larger task of "simplifying" my life. Once I started the process it got easier, but there are some books that will forever be mine.
Years ago I saved up for months to purchase a limited edition leatherbound signed set of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I LOVE these books. But they take up shelf space and I saw that the set was getting a very good price so I put them up on Amazon, thinking nobody would ever pay so much money. A couple weeks later I got a lovely request from somebody in The Netherlands asking if I'd be open to shipping them overseas. I looked up shipping, and told him that I was sorry but the cost to send them was too high. He wrote back and suggested I simply bump up the price of the books. I hemmed, I hawed, I ended up selling them. Just last week I got a lovely note about how thrilled he was to get the books and that he will take very good care of them. Kindred spirit, indeed. It made the wrenching decision a sweet choice.
I see you've already made your choice. Please remember your books when it's nice outside, and let them air for a bit every so often. And adding desiccant might be a good idea. I am hoping for the best for your own leafy friends.
re: MplsM ary
I'm trying to heart this, but can't get it to work. :( Sweet story, thank you for sharing.
re: The Dairy Queen
I am buying digital books these days, but not being able to write notes in the margins, or dog-ear corners to get to the good parts when I re-read a book (and yes, I know I can approximate this digitally), leaves me wanting. As Heinlein predicted, the flavor is just not the same.
The note taking is even more important for cookbooks. I have worn out my scanner in taking down the notes Mom put in recipes. Sadly most of those books wind up in the recycling bin as even charitable organizations have no use for them.
Oy, the divestiture of books can be painful!
Thanks for the attagirl. You too!
re: MplsM ary
You know, one of my biggest problems with digital books is that you can't gift them. The license dies with you.
re: The Dairy Queen
On Amazon, if you are a Kindle owner (which I'm not), and you have friends or relations with Kindles (which I don't), you can lend your books. It's a limited cool idea.
On the other hand, the ever growing library of free books is wonderful. I'm reading Captains Courageous and having a blast.
The personality of books is completely lost in translation to digital. And yet I love the portability of hundreds of books on my tablet instead of having to figure out how many I can cram into my bag.
Can you gift an ebook book with an inscription?
re: MplsM ary
Interesting points. I assume you can purchase an ebook as a gift, but I understand the license isn't transferrable.
re: sunshine842
As far as rubbermaid type storage of books long term in a MN basement, my MIL gave us a couple totes of my husband's college text books he told her he did NOT want to keep almost 10 years ago.
The books have hung out in our varied basements and are just fine. Eventually I'll toss them and take the containers, but now they seem quite happy sitting there.
re: autumm
I found a box of cookbooks cleaning out my garage today ..they have been in a Rubbermaid type thing since my first move 18 years ago and the last seven in a coastal location with a hot as hell garage....they were still perfect .
re: autumm
So, I've just boxed up about 5 boxes of books (and freed up about 4+ shelves). I have no idea where to put these boxes! I realize sticking them in a closet will be counter-productive as it will make my closets suddenly jammed full.
I really think they are going to have to go in the basement, which I didn't really want to do, but I'm realizing it's probably my only choice.
But if you successfully have kept books in your basement and Lala kept them in her garage, I think I'm going to chance it.
re: The Dairy Queen
It should be great. I would add we have a dehumidifier running from May to October. Otherwise we get basement mildew.
re: The Dairy Queen
at the very least put them up on blocks (or some kind of slats) not for fear of flooding as much as to just keep some air circulating underneath, nothing horrifies a bibliophile as much as seeing wood pulp (box or book) in direct contact with a concrete floor.
re: hill food
My parents lost several dozen books because of cardboard boxes, a cement floor, and a broken sump pump.
re: The Dairy Queen
I have successfully kept books in our garage. I would use wine/liquor boxes that still have the flaps and tape them shut with packing tape. I think the books might have more chances of getting musty in your basement (even with the dehumidifier) rather than on a shelf in a garage.
We're lucky enough to have a mostly finished walkout basement and still have a dehumidifier.
I've often thought that every time I empty a case of wine, I should fill the box with books :) Wine boxes are a good size -- not too heavy when filled; and often a good shape for storing the books spine-up.
We've kept books packed in boxes for years at a time, and they are mostly fine. Ditto for wooden shelves.
As for humid basement: perhaps you could store the books under your bed instead?
re: KarenDW
Can't store the books under my bed...that's where I keep the overflow artwork!
But, I have carved out some space in the back of a very deep bedroom closet. As a practical matter, that space is almost unusable for anything I need to access frequently. So, we'll see.
Thank you everyone for your advice.
Also, I did photograph the contents of the boxes so I can find the books if I have a change of heart and ever need to.
re: The Dairy Queen
If you still have more books to box up, has anyone suggested lining the boxes with garbage bags? (I've read the thread, but don't recall seeing that idea...).
Anecdote: Many moons ago, the Spousal Unit and I came home from a lovely dinner around the corner to find our cottage on fire. The Fire Dept was there in a matter of seconds, so the worst damage was from smoke and water. In the kitchen, we had a sort of tansu step chest of all his boxes of books (each cat had her favorite level...). When we finally got around to opening them (6 months after the fire) they were in perfect condition. He'd lined every box with a large plastic garbage bag.
Maybe even a combo of plastic bags and dessicant packs.
re: kcshigekawa
I think you're the first to suggest garbage bags as liners, thank you. That's a pretty amazing story!
re: The Dairy Queen
You are most welcome!
It was the second "event" of the year.
#1 Spousal unit's truck was totaled while it was parked in my neighborhood (I had just moved in with him when we had the fire).
#2 Two months later: Fire
#3 Two months after that: Loma Prieta earthquake
#4 Two months after that, we were visiting his parents for the holidays, and someone broke in to the house and stole all the Christmas presents.
We were very happy to see the New Year...
re: kcshigekawa
wow, and I thought I had epic bad luck with vacations coinciding with political upheaval or environmental disasters...
re: hill food
'89 really was quite a year...
Do you have any friends that would be willing to store your books for you? I used that option many years ago for my wine collection when I was in transition between homes.

The Chicago Cubs added competition at second base and more resources for a potential trade Sunday by acquiring Tommy La Stella and the No. 4 international signing bonus slot from the Atlanta Braves for reliever Arodys Vizcaino and three international signing bonus slots.
You hear a lot of absurd rumors at the general managers meetings in Phoenix, but I believe I heard the wackiest one in years this week.
The biggest stumbling block for the Cubs in their pursuit of free-agent catcher Russell Martin seemingly is the Dodgers' unlimited budget.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — White Sox pitching prospect Francellis Montas found it impossible not to worry about the shining red digital numbers ticking down against him Wednesday night at Salt River Fields.
The Cubs announced their 2015 opener against the Cardinals will be moved from April 6th to April 5th after ESPN2 picked the game up for a 7:05 p.m. national "Sunday Night Baseball" telecast.
PHOENIX — After grooming Ben Cherington replace him eventually with the Red Sox, Cubs President Theo Epstein goes head-to-head against his one-time protege for the first time since both interviewed Dale Sveum for their manager openings three years ago.
The Chicago Cubs have hired their manager, begun renovations on their historic ballpark and are restocking their Major League team with promising young talent and the expectation of free agents to come, leaving one major item on their off-season to-do list — finding a new television home.
Clayton Kershaw will need to find a little more room to his already crowded trophy case.
PHOENIX — Theo Epstein's moment of truth in Chicago finally has arrived, four years after he blew away the baseball world in Boston with the acquisition of Adrian Gonzalez and signing of Carl Crawford to a seven-year, $142 million deal.
Alvin Dark, who was the 1948 rookie of the year and a three-time All-Star as a player and led both the San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's into the World Series as a manager, has died at age 92.
PHOENIX -- Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said he called starter Jordan Zimmermann to assure him there was no truth to a report the Nationals were in talks with the Cubs about a potential trade.
PHOENIX — Imagine the looks on the faces of executives and agents if the Cubs had new manager Joe Maddon pull up to the front of the swanky Arizona Biltmore in the RV he calls the "Cousin Eddie.
Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw won the National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday, becoming only the ninth pitcher in history to win three.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras apparently was driving drunk when he died along with his girlfriend in a fatal crash in the Dominican Republic last month.
A Cubs source refuted a published report that they were in talks with the Nationals to acquire All-Star starter Jordan Zimmermann, and had even discussed names.
PHOENIX— The San Francisco Giants won the World Series this year with a rotation that ranked 16th in the majors, beating a Kansas City Royals team whose rotation finished 11th overall.
PHOENIX — After demolishing the Wrigley Field bleachers, upgrading from coach to first class in the manager's office and declaring themselves postseason-ready in 2015, the Cubs have already made more offseason news than the last three winters combined.
PHOENIX -- Major League Baseball will investigate whether the Cubs tampered with new manager Joe Maddon while he was still under contract with the Rays, and Cubs president Theo Epstein says bring it on.
Vote in the poll.
PHOENIX — The Mets made the first big move of the general managers meetings Monday, signing veteran outfielder Michael Cuddyer to a two-year deal, reportedly for $21 million.
PHOENIX -- The Cubs are taking center stage here at the general managers meetings amid speculation they will be heavy players in the market.
Add and subtract.
It's obvious the Cubs would like to upgrade their catching, but general manager Jed Hoyer won't confirm or elaborate reports of the team's interest in Russell Martin and other impact free agents.
Chicago Cubs left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada was one of 29 players named to the major league roster that will compete in the five-game Japan All-Star Series starting Tuesday.
Wrigley Field's groundskeeper house, which sat at the northwest corner of Wrigley Field adjoining the outer wall of the lower grandstand, is being moved to a nearby parking lot. Legend has it that William Wrigley Jr. decided to build it for longtime groundskeeper Bobby Dorr in 1923.
The historic caretaker's house at the northwest corner of Wrigley Field will be temporarily moved Friday morning by the 1060 Project team to allow construction crews to complete modifications inside Gate K.
The process of familiarizing himself with the current coaching staff and players will continue into the winter for new Cubs manager Joe Maddon.
Clearing nearly $41 million from last season's player payroll, coupled with a lucrative television contract on the horizon, points to an aggressive shopping spree for the Chicago Cubs.
Despite their teams posting losing seasons, Rick Hahn of the Chicago White Sox and Jed Hoyer of the Chicago Cubs were two of seven general managers listed as executive of the year candidates for 2015 by Baseball Prospectus.

This morning I flew from Dublin to London and then from London to Split, a beautiful city on the coast of Croatia. I'm going to be spending a few days here collecting information, images and video.
When I arrived in Split, I was met by Andro who drove me into the city. He's a friend of Dora, the owner of Old Town Hostel Split, which is where I'm staying during my trip. As you can see from the picture, I have a great room. Dora and Brendan at the hostel have been really helpful, giving me lots of great tips about where to eat and drink in the city. I'm looking forward to trying out lots of their suggestions over the coming days.
Once I'd gotten settled in the hostel and gone over everything with Dora, I set out to do a little exploring and get some dinner. The hostel is located within the walls of Split's famous Diocletian's Palace which is a total warren of narrow, cobbled streets filled with restaurants, bars and shops. There were lots of people wandering around this evening, making the most of the beautiful weather.
I made my way down to 'Riva' which is the city's hugely popular promenade and took some pictures. Then it was off to find somewhere for dinner. I chose Buffet Fife on Trumbiceva Obala where I was seated at a shared bench table outside the restaurant. I ordered calamari and fries and couldn't believe how big the portions were when they brought everything out. Delicious and very reasonably priced, definitely a good start to my time in Split.
Tomorrow, I'm off on a self-guided walking tour around the city which should bring me to lots of the sights including the Main Square, the Cathedral and plenty more!

Miramax & Martin Scorsese developing 'Gangs Of New York' TV series
Miramax and Martin Scorsese have teamed to develop a television series based on Scorsese's 2002 film Gangs Of New York, which was released by Miramax. The film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis and Cameron Diaz focused on early confrontations between rival gangs in New York in the mid to late 1800s. The series, co-produced by Miramax and GK Films, will draw from the events surrounding organized gangs at the turn of the century and shortly thereafter in America, not only in New York but in other cities such as Chicago and New Orleans and the birth of organized crime in America....

My Coppertone Review
Jun. 22nd, 2014 | 12:06 pm
I received some free samples and coupons of Coppertone ClearlySheer sunny days Body sunscreen lotion from BzzAgent. It is great because it contains SPF 30 which protects my sensitive skin from harmful rays. It has broad spectrum protection from age lines (a bonus). It is great to apply on your face because it is a non-greasy formula that won't break you out (hate breakouts from greasy lotions). It has a nice light floral scent which absorbs quickly into your skin so it isn't overpowering or heavy while keeping my skin feeling soft and smooth. A lot of sunscreens start melting off you from the heat but this one keeps my face nice and matte. It doesn't even feel like I'm wearing sunscreen which is nice. I've definitely been using more sunscreen daily than I was before because this product is so wonderful. If you are going to be outdoors this summer don't leave home without it!

My toddler hates having her diaper changed. Help!
Our 16-month-old suddenly hates diaper changes! The second we put her on her back, she starts crying, and then either rolls over on her stomach or stands up. We've gotten pretty good at changing wet diapers while she's standing, but for messy diapers, there's no way! Any suggestions?

I sing Old MacDonald to my 18mo and let him come up with the animals. Sometimes the animal will be "melmo" so then I just ask him what "melmo" says. I add the sound he makes to the song and just move onto the next animal. He loves it..posted 11/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Our 17 mo old boy is the same way. He has been wearing pull ups for a few months now and we change him standing leaning on bed for support.. As for the dirty diapers we rip the sides of diapers and it makes for easier clean up. Hope this helps!posted 10/22/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Sometimes stickers get eaten, and sometimes despite your best struggle using you leg or foot to hold baby down doesn't help. Yes I have done that and if that's all that works you use it. My best solution though is a collection I have. I have a collection of small pewter dragon statues, and other assorted things(a cat, a bird on a piece of driftwood, dogs in a basket etc) and my son loves to hold one or two of those and stops struggling instantly. Or he likes to play with a necklace or bracelet of costume jewelry. You can get some cheap bright stuff at most kids stores, and make it a diaper changing toy ONLY. When your done diaper change take it away. If they don't behave during the change take it away, but where they can see it and only give it to them if they are behaving,posted 10/21/2012 by Allyka
Stuffed animal or anything you normally don't give your child to play which makes it more fun and they concentrate. Say like your hair brush, or a lotion bottle, or even daddy's wallet. face it your child has put more nastier things in his/ her mouth so chewing on brush bristles or swallowing the hardened up lotion is not going to kill them my daughter actually like the lotion bottle the best.posted 11/27/2011 by snazzymomma89
The best way to change a toddler is to distract them from whats happening with a toy or a song something that will not make it seem less scary when changing baby try and make changing baby a bonding time between mom or dad and baby it time to talk to them and remember that baby,s fell and can pick up on your stress level so trying to remain as calm as posable . trust me it helpsposted 10/03/2011 by loveing mommy 24
Huggies pull on diapers are the best! So quick and easy! My twins are the squirmiest babies ever and since I bought the pull ons it has been so much better!posted 09/15/2011 by Lane&Cole's Mommy
The best thing that works for me is make sure they have their bottle or their favorite toy. That always for me well at least most the timeposted 07/02/2011 by MSE0915
Yeh, my son started doing that at about 8 months. It sucks but all you can do is hold them down and do your best to distract them until you're done. My son is now 13 months old and I usually do the same as you do for wet diapers, I just change him standing up. For poopy diapers I give him a cookie or a toy he likes and I put my knees on his hips so he can't flip over and hold his ankles in the air with one hand and clean him up with the other. Sometimes he cooperates and sometimes it's a struggle.posted 04/26/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
With my now 10 year old world war three broke out everytim a diaper had to be changed. Nothing we did seemed to help. We switched to pull ups so we'd only have the drama when she pooped. Those we changed on the floor popped our leg over her chest to keep her still, or we did it together so one could controll the legs. Fortunately or 17 month old is usually calmer. If she has something to hold, she's ok. She tries to help with the dirty diapers so we just try to be quick. With bib sis, no advice worked. & she hated diaper changes so the best thing to do is get through it with all the patience you have & look forward to potty training. The diapers will be gone soon enough but so will your rambunctious toddler. Good luckposted 03/30/2011 by ddnator
I try to distract her by giving her something to hold and play with. When I first go to lay her down I ask her " Can you hold this for mommy?" And I give her anything that she can fiddle with for a few minutes so I can get my job done. Usually the TV remote or something that she doesnt usually get to touch Probably not the best thing to do, but it works for meposted 12/20/2010 by Gina130

One of the major features in our application is the ability to scan and recognize different types of images with different formats. We tried some OCR engines, but most of them are hard to implement with many limitations. We tried leadtools OCR features and it helped us to accomplish our goals. This is a great product with many features. I strongly recommend it for any programmer.
We bought the toolkit to support scanning features in our application. We faced some problems at the beginning because we were new to the toolkit. We had to learn a couple of things about what functions to call and how to put that in our main project, but after a couple of hours, we were able to do it with the help of documentation.
We've been using AVR for years and DBI's Solutions Schedule component software has saved us time, money and allowed my development team to implement functionality that would just not otherwise have been possible.

Couldn't agree more! The only problem I ever had with this was purely down to me not reading the manual. Support gave me the solution very quickly and politely!

Sir Ian Terence Botham, OBE (born 24 November 1955) is a former England Test cricketer and Test team captain, and current cricket commentator. He was a genuine all-rounder with 14 centuries and 383 wickets in Test cricket, and remains well known by his nickname "Beefy". While at times a controversial player both on and off the field, Botham also held a number of Test cricket records, and still holds the record for the highest number of wickets taken by an England bowler.

Comments about Bush - Series C Box Mobile File Cabinet-Light Oak:
The instruction booklet was 20 pages. Many, many pieces and parts. Some screws missing.Once assembled very nice and functional, but the assembly was challenging. My husband did it and he has skills. He used a drill and had to supplement parts provided with his supply. This would be very difficult for anyone w/o carpentry skills. Took about 3 hours.I would recommend it to someone only if I knew they had experience putting together challenging items.

Editor's note: This is an excerpt from the book, "Be Still: Using Principles of the Gospel to Lower Anxiety," by G. Sheldon Martin.
"I will be happy when __________. Fill in the blank: When I go on a mission. When I get off a mission. When I get married. When I finish school. When I have children. When the children are in school. When the children move out. When I'm out of debt. When I have grandchildren. When I retire. When I go on another mission. Or, when I die."
Doctrine and Covenants 138:50 says, "For the dead had looked upon the long absence of their spirits from their bodies as a bondage." One day when I was reading this, the thought came into my mind, Even in the spirit world, it's possible to say, "I'll be happy when ___________." "I'll be happy when I'm resurrected."
This process never stops. It has the possibility of going on for a very long time.
We will always have more hopes and dreams than we can realize. In fact, I cannot think of a time in my life when I have not thought, I will be happy at the next stage. It seems as though we often live life thinking that the next stop is happiness, and when we get there, we realize that happiness is still one more stop away.
We must learn that happiness can be achieved at each stage in life and not at some distant point in the future. We must be certain that we recognize that there are great and wonderful events in our current life situation. It's easy to say, "If I could only have lived in the days of Nephi to watch him receive the power to seal in heaven and earth," or "I wish I lived in the times of Joseph Smith, when the Saints were easy to be entreated." That's true to a point, but while there were some Saints who were easy to be entreated, there were certainly others who weren't. It's true in every stage of history.
We have a tendency to glorify the past the same way we do the future. See history for what it was, both good and bad, and learn to see your own life for what it truly is, both good and bad. It's easy to glorify the past or the unknown future.
Sometimes we focus too much on the current trials we are coping with because they are happening to us today. If we do this too much, it keeps us from appreciating the good in every day. Learn to appreciate the phase that you are in.
My son, McKay, plays tackle football. When he was in the second grade, he played his first year. If you have never seen second-grade tackle football, it's like herding cats. In fact, McKay came up to me halfway through the season and said, "Hey, Dad, am I on offense or defense right now?" He had already run about 12 plays, and I thought, this is a major concern.
One day, he lined up in practice to do his tackling drill, and he went up against this boy in practice who was a giant of a second-grader. This other boy was old for his grade and huge for his age. McKay, on the other hand, was young for his grade and small for his age. McKay lined up head-to-head and got run over. I mean, the other boy didn't even slow down. He hit McKay hard, and I remember thinking, I hope he's not injured too badly. The coach called for a water break, and McKay hopped up and ran over to me. He gave me a thumbs up and said, "Dad, did you see how fast I got up when that boy hit me?" I laughed and thought, I have got to remember this and write it in my journal because when he's 16, I'll miss this type of response.
I have another son, Kimball. We once had a Primary presentation in our ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in which Kimball participated. One day, he came up to my wife and me, crying, and said, "Mom, Dad, I don't want to do my part." He was very upset. We told him, "You don't have to do your part if you don't want to."

Ruby Keeler was an unknown actress when she starred in the 1933 production of Busby Berkeley's 42nd Street.
But the movie was so popular she was able to land two more splashy musicals that same year — and seven more by the end of the decade. There was nothing extraordinary about her talents as a vocalist or as an actress, but audiences of the Depression era really bought into Keeler's "innocent" onstage persona. In fact, they craved it.

When singer-songwriter Jason Isbell used to get drunk, he'd sometimes tell his then-girlfriend, the musician Amanda Shires, that he needed to quit the bottle — and that if it was going to take, he'd have to go to rehab. Eventually, she said the next time he told her that, she'd hold him to it. And she did. And he went. And, he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross, "The jury is still out on whether or not it worked, but it worked today and all the days leading up to this."
Initially, he says he was scared about what sobriety would do to his personality and his creativity.

Daily Globe Staff Reporter
SHELBY- Shelby High School art teacher Patience Lewis has made her name well known throughout the region after receiving a prestigious award.
Lewis was declared the victorious winner of the Outstanding Art Teacher (OAT) of North Central Ohio at the Ohio Art Education Association (OAEA) Conference in Columbus last week. In order to receive this award, the contender must be nominated.
Lewis shared Mary Haas of Lexington was the individual who decided to throw Lewis' name into the mix.
"Mary (Haas) did warn me and let me know that she was going to nominate me," Lewis shared. "She told me I am always really positive with different things, but I really didn't think anything about it."
Lewis noted there were three other nominees who were in up for the award.
According to the OAT criteria, each nominee must meet some of these standards in order to win the OAT award: display commitment and dedication to their students, must meet the needs and interests of students in a creative manner which will bring about learning and growth and development, must research current issues in the art field education, be involved with developing innovative curriculum, show educational leadership, be professionally active by publishing articles surrounding art education, continue to create art and exhibit their own artwork, and must have completed at least five years of experience with art education.
In addition, Lewis also had to submit two letters of recommendation in order to win the award. Lewis revealed the two letters came from Superintendent Tim Tarvin and former art teacher Carol Edgar.
Lewis explained she has been an art teacher for the past 18 years and has been with Shelby City Schools for 11 of those years. She started her career as the Shelby High School art teacher during the 2013-2014 year.
Along with being an art teacher, Lewis was also a co-regional director alongside Carmone Macfarlane. Lewis explained regional directors plan and organize workshops, newsletters, and social events throughout the entire North Central Ohio region.
"We are also on the state board for the Ohio Art Education Association. So, we go to these meetings in Columbus and find out different things going on in the art world," Lewis shared.
Lewis said her term as co-regional director would be ending in December 2014.
When Lewis was declared the winner of the award, she revealed how she felt.
"I was very surprised, especially when they had nominated people who had been teaching for over 30 years," she said. "I was just surprised that I got voted. It was nice because Mr. Tarvin came down and so did my family. It was fun, but I was really nervous."
Haas and Macfarlane provided information at the conference on why they believed Lewis should be the winner. Lewis revealed there were several hundreds of people at the conference.
"The award is a manikin that is gold and it says 'Outstanding Art Teacher'. You can have the manikin do different poses and it is really cute," Lewis said.
Lewis explained she decided she wanted to become an art teacher after she was inspired by her own high school art teacher.
"I saw him teach people how to do things that they didn't think that they could do. I wanted to be able to do that for kids," she said.
"Another reason why I like it is because you can do a lot of different things with art instead of just having one specific focus," Lewis noted. "I personally really like painting and I like working with the kids to get them to express their own ideas and go further than they think they can."
