'Nashville' Premiere Song List
A dozen country songs were featured on the 'Nashville' season premiere on ABC on Oct. 10. Many of the songs picked for the big debut of the drama series are currently-charting songs, but some of those featured you may not be familiar with yet.
Among the established country stars, Miranda Lambert and Justin Moore may have been the most recognizable voices on the premiere of 'Nashville.' Eli Young Band and legends like John Conlee and Tammy Wynette also recorded songs chosen for the pilot episode. In most cases, these were worked in between scenes, but a few were featured prominently.
Juliette Barnes and Rayna James sang 'Love Like Mine' and 'Already Gone' (not the Sugarland song) during their respective Grand Ole Opry performances. James rehearsed for her tour singing 'Its My Life' before earbud problems forced her to break. 'Back Home' is the song Deacon Claybourne sang that attracted Barnes to him... in more ways than one.
Check back weekly for a list of all songs featured on 'Nashville.'
'Nashville' Premiere Song List:
John Conlee, 'Rose Colored Glasses'
Greg Bates, 'Did It for the Girl'
Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), 'Love Like Mine' ('Nashville' original)

Great News!!
I was Diagnosed with type II Diabetes in Early November. As soon as my doctor told me, I decided that I would not allow diabetes to control me. Rather, I would control it. Therefore, I made a lot of lifestyle changes.
When I was diagnosed I was told my A1C was 11.9 which I have learned is HORRIBLE! No wonder I had not been feeling like myself for quite some time. Since finding out, I have started hitting the gym, taking walks, riding my bike. Most importantly, I have made changes to the foods I choose to eat. One of the biggest changes I made, was that I started having breakfast, and added a lot of vegetables to my diet. Every now and then I still have a little bit of ice cream, a bite or two of a dessert and sometimes a bite size candy bar.
In Mid November, I had my blood work done and I received the official diagnosis and quite a bit of medicine as a result of my A1C. However, I decided not to take the medications because I had made huge changes and I got my sugar levels under control.
Anyhow, I went in for more lab results last week, and my doctor was AMAZED at my results and FLOORED when I told her I had not taken any of the medications she had prescribed me. She and her staff told me over and over again how amazing to see my A1C drop to 7.6 in a little over 2 months. The best part about all of this… Is that in the process of changing my lifestyle, I also lost some of me.
My doctor has changed my prescription and would like me to try 500 mg of Metformin XR, she believes it will help me continue to lose some weight. She said if I continue down this road, she will most likely have me stop using the Metformin. :)
I want to thank all of you for your encouragement especially Kimberley3101. (You have been a HUGE encouragement to me!) I cannot thank you enough.
Also, I could not have done this without God. He has been my strength throughout all of this and He deserves all of the Glory!

Wow! Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. I am blessed to have each of you in my life.
Hi gal,
Just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. Of course for your
progress in your A1C and weight loss but mostly for your attitude
Your outlook on diabetes is great and I wanted you to know it's
Recognized. Keep up the good work…hugs. VL
Congratulations ! Isn't it a wonderful feeling to know that you are the one in the drivers seat ! Best of health to you. Heidi
Cyber high five…
A mighty big pat on the back to you!

Offering a revamp on the traditional recipe for Scotch Eggs is this version by the I Am Food Blog, that combines two beloved pub food dishes into one. Rather than encasing the boiled egg in a meat filling, this version uses a mac and cheese breading layer to give the dish a vegetarian-appropriate alternative.
The dish is made first by putting together mac and cheese using Jalsberg. The noodles are specifically cooked to an al dente texture so that the noodles hold in the deep frying processes. Then cold boiled eggs are encased inside the macaroni and fried to create a crips exterior and soft, warm centre.
The macaroni exterior offers a meat-free alternative for consumers seeking to enjoy a vegetarian version of Scotch Eggs.

A spoon isn't just something you could use for eating. There are lots of other creative ways to use it, too, and today we're going to show you how you can use a spoon in your beauty routine. That's right. We've listed down some of the most useful beauty tricks to do with a spoon below so go check them out and tell us if you have any other beauty tricks that you can do using a spoon.
- Eye bags away – one of the most popular ways to use a spoon in your beauty routine is to freeze them (or dip them in ice cold water) and then place them under the eyes or do a sweeping motion with them under the eyes. This will help depuff your eyes and get rid of those nasty under eye circles so your eyes look fresh and awake, even after a sleepless night.
- The perfect wing man – having trouble perfecting that winged liner look? Instead of getting frustrated and wasting eyeliner and eye makeup remover doing it over and over again, grab a spoon and hold its handle up against the outer corner of your eye and then use that to draw the flicked line. You can also use the rounded part of the spoon to create a more curved wing.
- Neatly apply mascara on short lashes – applying mascara on the lower lashes can really open up the eyes and make them look bigger and more awake but it can be super tricky to do since the lower lashes are shorter and sparser so mascara tends to get on the skin as well. To prevent this, you can place a spoon below your eye (making sure the lashes aren't covered) and then proceed to apply mascara as usual. Any excess mascara will be smeared on to the spoon instead of your face. This can also be used for top lashes.
- Improvised eyelash curler – whether it's because your eyelash curler broke or your just don't have one nearby, knowing how to curl your lashes without one can be really helpful. For an improvised eyelash curler, put a spoon under a lamp just to warm it up a little bit then place the curved edge above your lashes and use your finger to press the lashes on to the spoon for a good 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat on the other eye and coat your lashes with mascara to seal the curl.
- Contouring aid – if you always find yourself struggling to find the perfect spot to place your contour powder on, try cupping the apples of your cheeks with a spoon. When your cheeks are nice and snug against the spoon, you can start placing contour / bronzing powder right under the spoon as that is where the hollows of your cheeks are.
- Quick and easy marbled nails – nail marbling is too much work and if you have no patience for such things like me, I'm sure you'll love this easier and quicker version that you can do with a spoon. Simply pour a little bit of every color nails polish you want to appear on your nail marbling art onto a spoon, swirl them around with a toothpick or a bobby pin and dip your nails in the mixture. The hollowness of the spoon makes it a perfect dipping spot for your nails.

Further Relationship Skills
Like a popular bank account, people will like you if you pay good
interest. Listening properly to people can meet their need for connection,
status and intimacy and is a key relationship skill.
Let people know you are listening by:
- Actually listening to them, nodding, smiling and looking in their general direction.
- Feeding back what they say; showing them you know they actually said it. And then adding anything of your own. If you don't agree at least acknowledge they've spoken: 'I understand what you mean, however as far as I see it…..', or: 'That's a good idea---------and it might be even better if….'
Ask opinions, advice or help
People feel important if you ask them what they think. This meets their need for status.
Talk to them about their concerns and interests
People will feel that you are interesting if you show interest in them. Don't compromise your own personality but be aware of this basic rapport building rule.
Offer help and do favors
People like people who are helpful. Helping people practically meets all kinds of emotional needs (you should, by now, be able to work out which ones ;-)
And smile, smile, smile
Research shows that when you smile at someone pleasure centers in their brain are stimulated. People like warmth and will come to associate you with feeling good. Smiling relaxes people and make them feel they can trust you.
Basic rules on smiling:
- Don't over do it! Whoops!
- Don't smile when you are anxious, angry or giving negative feedback-it's confusing!
- Don't smile when someone else has stubbed their toe. You smiling when someone else is having a bad time gives the message that you are glad it's not you rather than you wish it wasn't them!
In summary
- Remember that everyone has similar emotional needs (including you!)
- Take these needs into account in social, work and romantic situations
- Keep complaints specific and avoid overgeneralising negatives
- Make compliments specific; give examples to make them 'real'
- Listen and talk about what is important to people. And smile and look interested.
The more you meet others' emotional needs, the more they will like you. The less you step on their emotional needs, the less offence you will cause. And if someone else offends you, check out your basic emotional needs to find out why.

It was encouraging to hear the list of all of the new "green" areas where jobs are being created but distressing that further nuclear jobs will exist. I am not the most anti nuclear person ever, however it is not my first preference. It is good though that he is reiterating that there will be no public subsidy - this is definitely not an industry that we should be championing.
It was refreshing to hear him mention China's desire for renewable energy. The press always paint them as a country that is just consuming and being as unclean as we were in our industrial revolution. Yes they have tons and tons of carbon emissions, but that doesn't mean they aren't also developing cleaner energy sources and aren't also looking to the future.
It was also good to hear how they intend to help those struggling to pay their fuel bills, however it just doesn't sound enough, I think they should be going further. As someone who firmly believes in the free market this is difficult for me to suggest, but I feel that they should be intervening more. Energy, like water, is something I feel shouldn't be left to market forces, I don't see the competition as particularly helpful and it should have more legislation to protect the average consumer - not just the very worst off. Maybe I am just not looking at the proposals enough.
I really liked his pro European comments, there has been too much anti Europe coverage in the media recently with all of their problems, however like it or not we need them. As such we would be much weaker if we let the EU - I am glad that the Lib Dems wont let this happen.
He was also spot on when he spoke about compromise - people may not understand the fact that the Lib Dems have compromised in Government but pluralism is something that should be championed, not just in words but also in actions.
This is actually the first speech by Chris that I've managed to get all the way through (I don't follow the environmental agenda as closely as I should). I was pleasantly surprised by it, especially the strong finish.
I will hopefully find more and post more tomorrow - I've only really focused on the main players at the moment (cabinet ministers that I know + party president, hopefully tomorrow I'll listen to Michael Moore and a few of the other, lesser publicised MPs), but now it's getting late!

Dating from the late Victorian Era, around 1880-1890, this gold-filled brooch shows the layered construction of that period. The concave layers sit one atop the next, the upper layers being smaller. The top layer is a single prong-set rose-cut garnet. The next layer down has arrow-head shaped cut garnets; the one beneath that has very small garnets; the bottom layer has larger ones in a mixture of shapes. The pin is 1/2" thick. All garnets are original and in fine condition. The pin's gold layer is in good shape also. The original fittings have been skillfully replaced; a safety clasp has been added. This fancy star-shaped pin is 1 3/4" in diameter. The layered construction has openings that allow light underneath to highlight the garnets.

Four years ago we were packing our bags and waiting anxiously for the final notice of our travel to China. We did Christmas at home knowing we had a son across the ocean and we travelled early in the new year to meet him.
When we made the decision to open up our hearts and family to this little boy in a land far away we knew that he would come with many unknowns. Many of those caused me some fear in the weeks leading up to our travel date. Would he grow to love us, could we be the parents he needs, would our other kids adjust well, would our family crumble into chaos and would this adoption be the proverbial final straw that sends us all to the looney bin? We moved forward with eager and trembling steps knowing that this is what God was leading us to do. More specifically this was who God was leading us to.
When we brought him home he was six years old and had been through a lot. An abandonment as a toddler, two different orphanages, and five foster homes. He has cerebral palsy that mostly affects both legs and his left arm. He had just started walking and was able to walk a few steps. We knew those things before we left Canada. What would be a wild card was his development and cognitive ability. We were bringing him home regardless. This was a special needs adoption and we were under no illusions that things would be easy or free of surprises.
With CP there is such a wide range of ability level both physically and cognitively. I have known people who are completely unable to control their body but yet are very intelligent and their minds are unaffected. Some may have minor physical limitations but their cognitive ability is severely impaired. You just really don't know, and you certainly can't assume that someone with a severe physical disability has any intellectual impairment. We didn't know where our little guy would fall, but I've known a few kids with CP and they were all average intelligence.
When we met our little guy we were smitten. A beautiful smile that lit up at the simplest of pleasures like bubbles or a buffet meal. He babbled in mandarin and enjoyed being snuggled. He seemed quite a bit younger than six years old. Partly because he was the size of a Canadian three year old.
As the months and years at home followed it became apparent that not only was he developmentally delayed from bouts of malnutrition, lack of schooling and neglect but that something more organic was at play. Both nurture and nature were affecting his abilities. A year after adjusting to just being home he was enrolled into Kindergarten. He loved it and continues to love going to school. His EA, teachers and the other students are so good to him. The have worked so hard with him and always set the goals high.
Recently an educational psychologist did a full assessment of his intellectual ability and IQ. It was put off for a few years in order to let him catch up a bit and learn English. After realizing that this was about as caught up as he's going to get we finally got the assessment done. Yesterday we got the report back and went over the results.
I can't say I was shocked, although my husband says he was. I actually have mixed feelings about the results. In one sense theres a bit of relief and in another sense there's some sadness. I think it will give me more patience with him when I remind myself that he's not just being dense or difficult but that he really just can't get it.
Across every category he was "Extremely below average" and his percentile was 0.1%. The actual number of his IQ did floor me for a second. I'm not totally comfortable sharing the number but it is below an average person with Down Syndrome. His expressive and receptive language at 10 years old is that of a two or three year old. So there we have it.
In a way that validates what I've noticed in trying to teach him certain things. I don't want to hold him back or set the expectations too low but I also want to be realistic. Expecting too much just causes frustration for us and for him. I think the EA at school may be relieved as well as they are going to stop pushing so hard with things like learning letters (which has been entirely unsuccessful after three years of effort) and start working more on life skills.
The thing about the assessment is that it doesn't take into account that he is so much more than a test score. That number is a part of his disability but it isn't who he is. It also doesn't score the areas where he does have intelligence.
Here are a few statements written in the assessment that helped soothe my aching Mommy heart. They reflect more accurately who this boy is. The boy we know and love.
"Elijah was observed to be a happy and friendly boy who enjoyed engaging with others"
"He was observed to be seated at a table colouring with a group of other children. I sat with the group and Elijah engaged with both me and myself and the other children. He enjoyed providing me with ideas about what I could draw."
"Elijah presented as a cheerful and happy boy"
"Elijah was cooperative throughout the duration of the assessment and completed all tasks required of him. He tried hard, even when the tasks were difficult for him. He demonstrated a positive attitude and confidence in his ability to attempt tasks."
Those observations very accurately describe my son.
He has struggles but he is more than that.
Here are some of the things he's really good at:
* Elijah is a very loving boy. He regularly gives me spontaneous hugs and back rubs and says "I love you mom".
* He is very generous with compliments. He basically tells everyone they are "cute" and tells me all the time "You're a good mom".
* He is polite. He is always on point with his "please", "excuse me" and "thankyou". He will patiently wait his turn and doesn't whine.
*He's an amazing big brother. He's always looking out for the little ones and the first to warn me if something is amiss. He is very affectionate, protective and playful with them. Annie and Eli are good playmates right now.
*He has a good imagination and loves to play pretend.
* He follows directions and is compliant. For a parent that must makes life easier. He can even follow and succeed at directions with multiple steps as long as the message is clear and he understands the words. I have a few children with ADHD so the ability of a child to hear, process and successfully follow multi step directions isn't something I take for granted.
*He enjoys simple things. It doesn't take much for him to be happy and content. Give him a bowl of popcorn or rice and he's happier than he is at Disneyland (unless you buy him popcorn or rice there). He's really very easy to please.
* He's helpful. The boy loves to be busy and feel useful. He's great at picking up toys or helping to set the table. He's as happy as can be when he's doing chores that everyone else grumbles about.
* He is very sociable and enjoys being with other kids and participating in activities.
*He is very perceptive. I think some of his ability to read a room, judge people's moods, and be hyper aware is a survival tactic he learned early in life. It's both a skill and a detriment as he can easily become frightened and very anxious if he feels someone is upset or there is potential danger. There's not getting much past him. If there's tension in a room or he's being excluded he's very aware of it.
*He is good at self care. As much as his physical ability allows he is eager to do things himself. He dresses himself for school. Takes himself to the bathroom. Washes his face and brushes his teeth (although I still go over them afterwards to make sure it's done well). Get's his own pajamas on.
*Elijah is great at finding a way to do what he wants to do. His ability to make adaptions and work at things until he can do it is remarkable. He's not a kid who is content to sit on the sidelines. He wants to be involved and finds a way to do so.
*He's always the first to pray for whoever in the family is hurt or sick, before it even crosses my own mind to do so. He's our little intercessor.
To be honest the hardest thing about parenting him has not been his disabilities but rather his past traumas and the damage they caused. He has a lot of deeply ingrained fear and when that is triggered he will fly into fight or flight mode quickly. It's like something primal deep inside him just takes over. It often involves high pitched screaming, raging, spitting and making himself as physically gross as possible. Often this happens at the worst possible times, and over the most ridiculous things (at least to us). It's very hard to have patience with that. Thankfully as trust and security has slowly grown these episodes are less and less frequent.
He really is just one of the kids. I don't think about his disabilities all that much because it's not at the forefront of our relationship as a mother and son. The extra stuff required when parenting a child with physical and intellectual disability is just part of life. It all seems pretty normal now. He is expected to behave himself, he is expected to obey, he is expected to be kind to his siblings. He has consequences if he isn't doing those things. He is expected to tidy his room and do what is asked of him. He isn't kept in some sort of separate "special" category. He has his own personality, his own likes and dislikes. He has friends and he loves his family well.
He's just Eli. He's just our kid.
All our lives are richer because of this boy and his smile.

Scientists have been knee deep in the Thames since April, waiting for the eel migration to begin. This species was one of the first to return to London after the river was declared biologically dead in the 1960s.
It was a grey November afternoon, I walked the leaf-lit street, I sent slender letters. I took to the Rye with adventure in mind, where dogs scattered tame, and their walkers strolled aimlessly along.
In this increasingly gentrified, decreasingly bohemian corner of Mother Hackney, Abney is the emerald eye of Stoke Newington's battleship-grey storm – an isolated, semi-natural oasis in a desert of concrete and clay.
Big Ben strikes 4.45am and a juvenile peregrine falcon sweeps into the air from the clock tower. A small anchor shape silhouetted against a just lightening city sky, it flies over to the north side of the Palace of Westminster.
Gulls pass over from the marshes and across the Thames to the south. A deceit of lapwings exit too, their flappy black wings belying their compact shape when grounded. The tide bubbles audibly against concrete.
Our starting point is Hackney Downs and our route is by way of water. We pass through a park plated with gold leaf and join the canal via a set of phantom gates, made by the lattice shadow of a wrought iron gasholder.
Little owls aren't common in London but they can be found, mainly on the city's outer edges. These types of owls are crepuscular, which means they're most active at dusk and dawn.
There's something extra special about the wildlife and wild places found within a city sprawl. The fact a range of creatures can survive and thrive in such a seething, heaving place as London is brilliant and reassuring.

favorite song -- death cab for cutie : "a lack of color"
one of my favorite things about the music i listen to is finding moments where my life is reflected in someone else's song and, hence, in someone else's experience. there is almost always a great deal of comfort in knowing that whatever you're going through has been encountered and lived through before. but sometimes that knowledge doesn't make things any better. sometimes it doesn't make things any easier to take.
today it occurred to me that the course of dating is really very much like the verse-chorus-verse structure of many contemporary songs. the verses always start out the same--boy meets girl--and always end the same--boy is alone. as with any good song, the middle of each verse is some kind of variation on a common theme, but each is characterized in its own way with a distinctive wrinkle here and a specific memory there. but the chorus is always the same, and for me it's always been pretty well represented by "a lack of color".
ben gibbard has an uncanny ability to write songs overflowing with plaintive longing and inconsolable loneliness. but there is something about "a lack of color" that is just true. perhaps it is the light piano track that makes you feel a little less alone, but is so minimal that you're sure that if you turned around to see who was there they would surely be gone. maybe it's the sound of sliding fingers on guitar strings that only serves to remind you of all the details that you took for granted or never heard in the first place. or maybe it's the sentiment itself, finding awareness in false perceptions that made you believe things were not as good or as bad as you might have thought. whatever it is about this song, it always seems to fit the spaces in between the verses. and yeah, even though ben gibbard has sung it a thousand times before, it doesn't really make it any easier to take, does it?
death cab for cutie : "a lack of color"
from the lp transatlanticism (barsuk records, 2003)
and when i see you
i really see you upside down
but my brain knows better
it picks you up and turns you around
turns you around
turns you around
if you feel discouraged
when there's a lack of color here
please don't worry lover
it's really bursting at the seams
absorbing everything
the spectrum's a to z
this is fact, not fiction
for the first time in years
all the girls in every girlie magazine
can't make me feel any less alone
i'm reaching for the phone
to call at 7:03
and on your machine, i slur a plea
for you to come home
but i know it's too late
i should have given you a reason to stay
given you a reason to stay
given you a reason to stay
given you a reason to stay
this is fact, not fiction
for the first time in years...

Hi gorgeous !!
Today i will share about a Korean Drama called "Secret Garden". Its a very funny drama. Also romantic and has some action in it. When i saw the first episode, spontaneously what i think is, in one of the scene, this girl's action looks like Lara Croft ! lol but that's just my personal opinion.
Now let's jump to the review !
Beware !!
You must use your imagination when you watch this movie :p
시크릿 가든 / Secret Garden
Genre : Romance, Comedy, Fantasy and Action
Episodes : 20
Aired on : SBS on 13 November 2010 to 16 January 2011
Main Cast :
Ha Ji-Won - Gil Ra-Im
Hyun Bin - Kim Joo-Won
Yoon Sang-Hyun - Oska / Choi Woo-Young
Kim Sa-Rang - Yoon Seul
This is one of the first scene of this drama. See ?! This is why i think she is like Lara Croft !
Kim Joo-Won is a wealthy CEO but had some trauma and Gil Ra-Im is an orphan stuntwoman that seems like she's not afraid of anything. Then Kim Joo-Won met Gil Ra-Im because of some misunderstanding and he fall in love with her. He is thinking of her all the time and very stressed out about it. Until he decides to chase the girl. He followed Gil Ra-Im everywhere !! Then one day, they switch the body because of Gil Ra-Im's late father!! ( Can you imagine a girl soul in man's body ?? lol Gil Ra-Im and Kim Joo-Won is very very shocked ! LOL ) But it makes them understand each other's life while they hardly trying to find a way to get back to their own bodies.
Kim Joo-Won followed Gil Ra-Im to the action school and finally he registered as the action school's member.
I enjoy this movie a lot !! It has so much fun in it ! I laugh a lot when they switch their body because they do a lot of thing that the real Gil Ra-Im or the real Kim Joo-Won won't do it. As an example, when Kim Joo-Won (in Gil Ra-Im's body) met Kim Joo-Won's mother and as typical rich mother that her son fall in love with someone that's not their level, she offers some money to stay away from their son. The real Gil Ra-Im of course won't accept that money. But its Kim Joo-Won (in Gil Ra-Im's body). Kim Joo-Won accepts that money and spend it all in one day !! and when his mom knows about that, she becomes so confused even his aunt said "is there a girl like that ? wow !" Seems like she is so amazed LOL and that makes his mother more upsad.
I give this drama 5/5 !
Do you ever watch it ? what do you think ?
Any other drama recommendation ?
please tell me in the comment section below because i would love to watch it !

Digital Access for Independent Scholars
Academic library resources far exceed those of almost all public libraries. Digital access through one's neighborhood public library is insufficient. Fifteen years ago, most academic libraries subscribed to academic journals in hard copy, and these along with the latest books could be found in the library stacks, accessible to independent scholars who showed their credentials as researchers. Today, the majority of new books and academic journals can no longer be found in hard copy there. Instead, they are made available through a portal on the academic library's website; but this portal is closed to all except those with college or university affiliation and identification. Independent scholars have no access to it.
This usually is not a problem for professors in retirement. One of the perks of retirement is that library privileges are retained, even if office space and other types of support disappear. But students (graduate and undergraduate) typically do not retain library privileges at their alma maters. Most college and university graduates with bachelor's degrees seldom require more than what could be obtained through the neighborhood public library. But among those with advanced degrees, an increasing percentage are becoming independent of academic institutions while they continue to pursue scholarly research. They may be employed by museums, by non-profit organizations, by government, and elsewhere outside of academia, while they need access to a good academic digital library. It is not generally available to them.
When I've raised this issue, defending my independent scholar colleagues in applied ethnomusicology and public folklore, the academic libraries I've spoken with have resisted extending privileges to anyone no longer associated with the college or university. Graduate faculty, who might be expected to intercede here, have not stepped up. I have yet to hear a good reason why not. As far as I can tell, it would cost the institutions almost nothing to grant library privileges to their graduates with advanced degrees, many of whom have paid a good deal to attend while sacrificing some years of salary in so doing.
If academic institutions and their libraries will not change their policies, then the professional organizations independent scholars belong to ought to work on their behalf. Independent scholars probably comprise nearly half of the degreed members of many professional societies in the humanities and social sciences. These Societies have made token gestures insofar as they can afford to do so, arranging with some of the digital library repositories such as JSTOR to permit their members access to electronic issues of their organization's own journal, and sometimes other journals--for a small fee added to the membership cost. But this is far from sufficient. Most academic books published for the past few years, and those that will be published in the foreseeable future, will never wind up on the shelves of a library. Rather, they are available only through an academic library's digital portal. Organizations such as the Society for Ethnomusicology, and the American Folklore Society--I belong to both--have made these gestures to members, but they need to do more to change the culture of academic institutions and their libraries so they will change policy and grant digital access to independent scholars routinely.

Thanks for this post Jeff.ReplyDelete
There are some workarounds available for independent scholars, such as JSTOR's free "bookshelf" model, but by no means does this make all their content accesible.
There is also the related issue of public funded research being published in subscription-only digital journals. In this way, the public ends up having to pay twice for the research.
Perhaps scholarly organisations could look at movubg their journals to open access alternatives. It does seem somewhat odd - given its focus - that the "Journal of American Folklore" is not open access, for instance.Replies
Thanks for your comment and suggestions. The possibility of moving the Journal of American Folklore to open access came up at the spring Executive Board meeting, earlier this month. A few of us were in favor but the majority worried that the Society would lose significant revenue that way. And it would. I was surprised to learn that the Society earns more from royalties from JSTOR (they get a small payment every time someone uses it to read an article from the Journal of American Folklore), than it earns from sales of the Journal to libraries and also as a portion of Society membership dues. If I recall right, the Society receives some $80,000 from JSTOR annually, which is a significant portion of its annual budget. So despite the view that folklore itself is public domain, the Journal remains doubly protected in this way. When I realized that I would have full electronic access to Ethnomusicology, the Journal of the Society for Ethnomusicology, I donated my complete run of back issues to the library of a historically Black college. I hope they still have them on their shelves so that independent scholars as well as those affiliated with the college can access them.Delete
Jeff, several tiers of contracts are responsible for issues of access through academic libraries. If a publisher (U. of Illinois Press, say) or aggregator (JStor or Ebsco) is not willing to extend access to verified alumns for a fair price, then it's not going to happen. The alumni associations/foundations have to maintain an up-to-date database with verification for alumns to have access.ReplyDelete
Some librarians who have to deal with the publisher and/or aggregator contracts are more knowledgeable than others and have better success negotiating.
You have pointed out one of the biggest obstacles for academic and professional societies/associations and that is the income stream. Electronic access provides a different kind of income stream because of the varieties of access through various vendors without the costs of print production and mailing.
At least in the US, certain types of publicly funded research published in journals must be made freely available. http://www.arl.org/focus-areas/public-access-policies/federally-funded-research/2696-white-house-directive-on-public-access-to-federally-funded-research-and-data#.VzJ-8oSDFBc
This also includes data sets, if I understand correctly. And it focuses on science (including some social sciences). Nothing about the NEH or NEA funded projects, though.
More in another comment...Replies
Thanks to LGG for the additional information. Possibly I am misunderstanding something, but it would appear that the universities and the university presses are working at cross purposes here, if the university presses price the colleges and universities out of making their books available electronically to alums with advanced degrees. However, independent scholars with an advanced degrees do not encounter that obstacle directly; instead, they are told by their alma mater, "Sorry, you don't have library privileges here any more." Period. And it is especially troubling when electronic access means travel to visit the alma mater's library would not be necessary. Perhaps if alums with advanced degrees paid a reasonable annual fee? Back in the day, a qualified independent scholar could use the Widener Library at Harvard for a fee (which amount did not seem very reasonable to me, but then Harvard's offered resources that other libraries did not).Delete
Thanks for raising these important issues. As someone who will be engaging in independent research in the coming year, this is one of my major concerns. I appreciate Jeff's arguments in favor of access to library resources (particularly electronic) for independent scholars, and I'm also grateful for the responses with additional information on current options and restrictions.ReplyDelete
Thanks for raising this issue. As a new graduate, now "independent scholar", this presents a significant challenge to continued research, as well as publishing. As an OSU alumni, I can have access to the physical library (for a small fee), but not to its electronic resources as you said. I have discovered that The American Folklore Society offers JSTOR access to its members for a reasonable fee ($100), and there are always those scholars who make their work available via academia.edu, which has become a godsend for me. I would be very grateful if other professional societies offered similar access to journals widely used in their respective disciplines.ReplyDelete
I hope that independent scholars will press this issue and that the professional societies not only will respond themselves but will also pressure the universities to offer access. I intend to keep at it, myself. Thank you for the additional information.ReplyDelete

Farmers along the Wash are hopeful they will soon get the cash needed to protect valuable arable land, communities and businesses from flooding.
Stafford Proctor, chairman of the Wash Frontage Group, was spreading the good news at the Lincolnshire Show.
Few will forget the destructive tidal surge of December 2013 which left around 200 people in Boston in temporary accommodation and livelihoods lost.
Others may not have been flooded, but feared they might not be so lucky should a similar tidal surge happen again.
John Grimwood, parish council chairman at Sutton Bridge, said: "I stood on the riverbank and it frightened me.
"I have never seen it as high as that. You couldn't stand on the riverbank without getting your feet wet."
In March this year, Sutton Bridge was told it would have to wait for improvements to its flood defences because the village is not included in the Government's latest plans.
However, the Wash Frontage Group has been pressing the Environment Agency for cash to improve flood defences, with contributions from farmers and landowners who will benefit from the land being protected.
Mr Proctor, who has farms in Long Sutton and Sutton Bridge, said: "We hope to have an answer in August and it's looking positive.
"The plan for a flood barrier will protect farmers and rural communities and prevent the over-topping which caused the flood in Boston.
"Coming to the Lincolnshire Show has been an ideal opportunity to spread the word.
"We are going through a volatile time farming with prices of crops.
"As a Group we are unable to spend much money, but we can offer the farmers support."

I went up to the boggy area which has many specimens of the late nectar source, Devilsbit Scabious, and found this specimen of the hoverfly Sericomyia silentis. For those of you who know the size of the flowerhead, it will be apparent just how large this hoverfly is.
|Sericomyia silentis on Devilsbit Scabious
|Pink form of Devilsbit Scabious
It's still 100% Devilsbit, though.
Staying with Devilsbit, I found a few rather interesting specimens that were making an extra flowerhead from an existing one:
|Devilsbit Scabious with 'extra' flowerheads
Notice the second 'offshot' appearing to the lower left of the central flower. This phenomenon wasn't restricted to one area of the bog: I found multiple specimens spread over perhaps 200 m.
Some specimens of Angelica have survived the storms: these are mostly ones in very sheltered locations. Specimens out in the open have all snapped at ground level. This flowerhead had a number of Ichneumonids still nectaring on it. There are 3 in this shot:
Actually, I just spotted a fourth, right at the bottom of the shot.
This area has quite a few Scots Pines, and I found a few specimens of Suillus flavidus and its bigger brother Slippery Jack, which are always found in association with Pine. I also found the usual swarm of Hebeloma mesophaeum all the way along the edge of the access road:
|Hebeloma mesophaeum
I recently showed a specimen of the leafhopper Cixius nervosus, but I thought this one showed off those wonderful wing veins at their best.
|Leafhopper Cixius nervosus
1) There are 3 'keels' on the thorax.
2) The black dots on the wing edges are larger than those on the inside veins of the wing
3) There is a rather distinct black bar across the front third of the wings.
4) The area between the eyes and the thorax is brownish-yellow.
Let's hope next week's fungal foray isn't rained off.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) � Despite injuries to fans from flying debris, NASCAR�s satisfied with its safety standards, saying the fence at Talladega Superspeedway did what it was supposed to do � keep Carl Edwards� car out of the grandstands.
In a spectacular last-lap accident, Edwards� car sailed upside-down into the frontstretch fence, which bowed but held, before the battered vehicle returned to the track. Blake Bobbitt, one of seven injured by debris, remained hospitalized yesterday with a broken jaw.
�One of our primary goals over the years is to build a retaining fence that keeps the cars and parts and pieces out of the spectator areas. Nothing is bullet proof,� NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said yesterday. �The retaining fence did what it�s supposed to do. There was some debris that went into the grandstand that fortunately did not invoke serious injury. If there is something we come up with as we analyze this accident ... we�ll make it as safe as we humanly can.�
The frightening ending marred what was easily NASCAR�s best race of the season. There were 57 lead changes among 25 different drivers and a nail-biting last-lap charge from Edwards and Brad Keselowski, who teamed together to run down Ryan Newman and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
NASCAR Vice President Robin Pemberton acknowledged the fine line between creating exciting racing and keeping the competitors safe.
�It�s tough to balance out,� he said. �Our series is 22 different racetracks ... with speeds from 100 mph to well over 200 mph, and not every driver likes every racetrack that we run on. That�s part of our season, and that�s part of what makes it work.�
NASCAR had no immediate solutions as to how to prevent future similar accidents but will evaluate the fence height surrounding the racetrack and beef up its policing of aggressive driving and blocking, when one car deliberately moves into the path of a competing car trying to pass it.
On the final lap of Sunday�s race, Edwards tried to block eventual race-winner Keselowski�s pass as they hurtled down the frontstretch at nearly 200 mph. Edwards slid low when Keselowski dipped underneath him, and the block caused Keselowski to hook the left rear of Edwards� car, sending it spinning into the path of Newman.
Newman then hit Edwards� car, causing it to fly off the track and into the safety fence. Edwards emerged from the fiery wreckage unscathed and jogged across the finish line.
The accident renewed scrutiny of restrictor-plate racing, which produces thrilling racing but carries inherent risk.
The horsepower-sapping restrictor plates are used at Daytona and Talladega � NASCAR�s two fastest � to combat the high speeds. A square aluminum plate is installed in each car to limit its engine�s power, slowing the car by reducing the amount of air that flows into the carburetor. As a result, the cars all run the same speed and the field is typically bunched tightly together. One wrong move by a driver can cause a massive accident.
There were three spectacular crashes Sunday: A 13-car wreck seven laps into the race, a 10-car accident with nine laps to go and Edwards� airborne flight into the fence on the final lap.
Edwards, grateful the fence held, warned that restrictor-plate racing can kill someone.
�I don�t know if I could live with myself if I ended up in the grandstands,� Edwards said. �We�ll race like this until we kill somebody, then� NASCAR �will change it.�

General Topics: Kinetic Energy, Mechanics, Physics, Simple Machines
Grade Level: 2-3
In this activity we explored the process of how forces work and how a force in one direction can cause motion in the opposite direction (Newton's third law). The exercise had the students learning how to make a car powered by a balloon to be blown up and released. This gives the car forward motion!
Each student was given the cardboard pieces to assemble together, followed by the pencil axle, and the wheels. While the cardboard pieces were already cut to size, the students still had to measure the car sides and cut in slots for their wheel axles. This taught them how to use a ruler and measure items in inches. When the wheels and body were complete, the balloon was added and students could race their balloon cars!
This class we learned:
- Newton's third law (every action has an opposite and equal reaction)
- Using a ruler and the difference between meters and inches
Things to keep in mind for future activities:
- Originally we were hoping to add a motor to the car or another electronic component but with the time to make the car, there was not enough time for an additional electronic component. In the future possibly pre-assembling the car or splitting into two sessions would be best

Imagemark Business Services Installs Nexpress 2100
Monday, March 22, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyKENNESAW, Ga., - March 22, 2004 - Heidelberg announced today that ImageMark Business Services Inc., a specialized printing and marketing company in Gastonia, N.C., recently installed a new NexPress 2100 to develop new and innovative marketing solution programs using variable data printing and short-run color print jobs. The NexPress 2100 at ImageMark is used to create elaborate materials for both internal and external communications programs for clients interested in improving brand image, one-to-one communications and B-to-B relations. ImageMark focuses on high quality, personalized marketing materials for a wide array of clients, including financial, medical, non-profit, manufacturing and corporate customers both regionally and nationally. "Our company's mission is to provide our clients with the materials they need to help take their programs to the next level and we feel that the NexPress has enabled that to happen," said Walter Payne, president and owner of ImageMark Business Services Inc. "We were seeing an increase of interest in more intricate color jobs and for shorter run lengths and we quickly found out the NexPress 2100 was the only digital press that had the performance and quality to meet our customers' needs." ImageMark is building awareness through a combination of brochures, direct mail pieces and sales materials to improve images and overall company communications. Since the installation of the NexPress in late October, ImageMark has developed a unique system of printing programs based on personalized variable data printing and short-run color print jobs developed specifically for individual clients. "We have found that all the capabilities of the NexPress 2100 needed to be explored and discussed with each client in order to demonstrate the breadth of products we're able to offer," said Payne. "The NexPress 2100 is the only Pantone certified digital press on the market and the quality is the closest to an offset press that we found among all other digital presses." The NexPress 2100 was developed to meet the growing needs for quick turn-around, short-run color print jobs. The system's ability to run print-on-demand and variable data printing jobs has made it the primary choice for printers interested in offering new and innovative solutions to its customers. Key features of the NexPress 2100 include: - NexStation front end - manages workflow, engine controls and real-time diagnostics and process management - NexQ quality control system – monitors several key quality features - NexPress DryInk technology - eliminates time-intensive drying processes - NexBlanket technology - enables printing on textured papers, and it also extends the life of imaging cylinders by removing their contact with the paper's abrasive surface. Offset blanket cylinder that transfers the image to the paper - NexQ SEP "Same Edge Perfector" technology - ensures a consistent, accurate color-to-color and front-to-back register "Heidelberg remains focused on offering its customers the most advanced technology on the market to help them succeed and the NexPress 2100's new technology and rugged press design have made it very reliable and consistent," said Vahaaj Khan, Director Product Management, Heidelberg USA. "The NexPress 2100 was developed with the printer in mind. For example, there are more operator replaceable components than any other press. Companies around the country are using the NexPress to market all new applications and we're seeing companies succeed because of the NexPress. ImageMark is located in a two building complex covering more than 25,000 square feet. The company employs 18 full time and 10 part time employees and has grown to one of the largest shops in the area. Originally purchased in 1996 as a commercial print shop, ImageMark has added service centers for direct mail, fulfillment services, kit collating, product distribution, offset, digital printing and finishing.

Dance Time
Dance Time, volume two, was performed by Dance Through Time. The artistic director was Carole Teten.
In the 1910s, animal dances "were the rage". Dances such as the camel walk and the bunny hop were named after animals and had moves resembling animal movement. The Castle Walk was a dance of grace and dignity, which was made by The Castles. The Castle Walk was "the finest ballroom exhibition of the era". Apache was "a social dance of entertainment" which was danced by a man and a woman. The Tango was "an Argentinean import" dance that consisted of glides and freezes. "Tango teas and tango clubs were popular fads" during the 1910s (video).
Dances in the 1920s were the Blackbottom and the Charleston. The Charleston was energetic "African rhythms" that used "jazz music [to] set the pace for unrestrained movement" (video). In the 1930s, dance marathons were popular. They were "a contest of stamina and desperation".
Movie musicals were "a tribute to romantic dancing of the screen". The Big Apple is a dance consisting of many individual steps, with the "circle formation [being] the frame for this dance". The Jitterbug was an "aerobic" dance that used "partner lifts [to] expand" the style (video).
The Rumba was a dance of the 1940s, which was "a Latin American import" with smooth movements. The Swing was a "dance craze of Harlem [that] became popular for all". The Swing was during "the big band era" (video). Rock and roll was popular in the 1950s and came "from rhythm and blues". The Mambo was "of Cuban origin", "with syncopated rhythms" (video). In the 1960s, the Twist was popular. "From pony to mashed potato, individualism hit the dance floor." The Mod was "from Britain". The hippie's dances were "uninhibited free expression", most likely because they...

Application Method: This product is most effective when applied through an irrigation system or banded. Soil applications can be incorporated in liquid fertilizer or applied separately. Accurate and properly calibrated injection equipment and an irrigation system that is operated at maximum distribution uniformity will help avoid plant injury and/or product ineffectiveness. For best results, with the exception of center pivot and lateral systems, apply this product toward the end of the irrigation set. Allow sufficient time for the product to be flushed completely out of the irrigation system prior to turning off the irrigation water.
Mixing: Add this product to a partially filled tank and slowly add the remaining water while maintaining constant agitation. Always add this product to the spray tank before adding other agricultural chemicals. To avoid potential phytotoxicity, test a small amount of solution on the intended target area to ensure plant compatibility prior to the planned application.
After initial application, monitor plant nutrient levels and apply again as needed.

- Even though the robot sheriff can no longer be seen shooting the gun (in the season two opening), the sound effects of the gun firing were still left in the final cut of this version. This version is also used in re-runs of Season 1 episodes (except The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair) on Boomerang.
- The opening sequence featured on the The Best of The New Scooby-Doo Movies DVD release had all the celebrity guests removed, as Warner Home Video was not being able to negotiate agreements to include episodes that featured some of the real-life celebrities lending their likeness and voices, as well as, the copyright owners of the some of the fictional characters crossing over. Instead, additional scenes from the series were used in their places. The reason for removing the celebrities that did have their episode(s) included is unknown; especially Batman and Robin's, as their comics publisher, DC Comics, are part of the same Warner Bros. family as Scooby-Doo and all those in the Hanna-Barbera library.

The Bandwidth Engine® family of ICs utilizes a CEI-11G-SR and XFI compatible interface enabling the first generation devices to operate up to 15 Gbps. The SerDes are tuned for low-power, low-latency transmission over traces of up to 20 cm long. Because existing serial interface standards are optimized for large payloads the transfers are inefficient for the small access quanta that theBandwidth Engine delivers. In order to overcome this issue the Bandwidth Engine SerDes supports the 90% efficient GigaChip Interface protocol to enable high-bandwidth, high-efficiency chip-to-chip communications. The GigaChip Interface also includes an automatic error recovery mechanism in the event of a channel CRC error to guarantee end-to-end data integrity and system reliability.
By utilizing an efficient serial technology, the Bandwidth Engine family is able to deliver significantly more bandwidth per pin, per Watt and per square millimeter of Silicon. The serial interface of the Bandwidth Engine also allows system designers more flexibility during board layout than parallel-based interfaces.

Apr 19, 2010 07:00 ETOmbudsman for Victims of Crime Urges Government to Refocus Justice Spending on Most Vulnerable
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 19, 2010) - Canada's first-ever Ombudsman for Victims of Crime, Steve Sullivan, today marked National Victims of Crime Awareness Week by urging the Government to consider the importance of balancing funding for victims' programs and services with other government justice priorities.
"For decades, victims have fought to receive at least equal treatment in the Canadian justice system," said Sullivan. "Though we've made some significant progress in this area, victims are still being short-changed. When you compare the amount we spend on offenders and victims, the difference is staggering. Obviously, expenditures for offenders will always be higher, but the proportions to me speak volumes to what victims have been telling us for years – that they feel marginalized by the current Canadian justice system."
While Sullivan agrees with the importance of keeping our communities safe, and is pleased to see the Government doing more to help victims and acting on many of his recommendations, he is also keenly aware of the incredible toll that crime can have on victims and the real need that exists for the programs and services to assist them. In a recent letter to the Prime Minister, the Ombudsman recommended that the Government refocus its just spending to better support vulnerable victims of crime.
"If even a portion of the increased funding for corrections measures went to help some of Canada's most vulnerable, the Government could fund a Child Advocacy Centre in every major city in this country. We could build shelters to help young people being sexually trafficked escape the streets where they are selling their bodies to survive. We could fund programs that focus on preventing re-victimization. There is so much we could do." explained Sullivan. "I think we need to re-evaluate our priorities and ensure that victims receive the support and treatment they deserve."
Since its inception, the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime has pushed for the Government to amend legislation to better respect and provide for the needs of victims of crime. The Office's most recent report, Toward a Greater Respect for Victims in the Corrections and Conditional Release Act makes 13 recommendations to amend current laws to strengthen victims' rights.
The Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime helps victims to address their needs, promotes their interests and makes recommendations to the federal government on issues that negatively impact victims.

Do you need respite care? Would you like to have temporary relief from caring for your homebound loved one? Do you need information about where to go for help with medical care, personal care, or other services to help you care for your elderly loved one? The Independent Living Program can help.
About us
The Independent Living Program provides respite care, volunteer support, and educational services for low to moderate income homebound senior citizens and their caregivers. These services prevent premature placement in a nursing home, elder abuse, and caregiver burnout. Companion and sitter respite services are provided for low to moderate income seniors by volunteers age 60 years and over.
Seniors who are unable to maintain their standard of Independence due to physical and mental health challenges can develop feelings of isolation and depression. The caring support our volunteers offer helps decrease these feelings. Our goal is to offer the senior an opportunity to maintain meaningful relationships with peers and remain socially connected to their community. The program volunteers are carefully screened, properly trained and supervised to offer the highest quality of service possible.
In-home respite care
Caring for a loved one can be a rewarding yet physically and emotionally draining experience. However, many caregivers experience burnout or social isolation which can lead to a lower quality of life or elder abuse. If you are the primary caregiver of a frail senior and desire to have short breaks that will allow you to refresh and recharge, respite services are available. Through our program, you may be able to receive 4 - 6 hours of respite services during the daytime, weekend and evening.
For seniors that are living with early stages of memory loss and/or beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease, we have a Senior Companion Program that provides in-home one-on-one respite services. This program allows frail seniors with related dementia/Alzheimer's Disease an opportunity to engage in meaningful activities while in their home that will enhance their quality of life.
Volunteer opportunities
Would you like to share your kindness, friendliness, and faith with homebound seniors? Want to stay active and involved in your local community? Interested in learning about senior related topics and resources that could help you and those caring for their elderly loved one? This program may be for you! Give us a call to learn more about respite volunteering opportunities.
Training opportunities
To ensure our pool of volunteers are equipped with knowledge and tools that will lead to a rewarding volunteer experience, we provide the following on-going training: orientation to the program, specialized training on appropriate respite services, job shadowing, monthly in-service trainings, seminars, volunteer recognition events, and a variety of workshops on issues of aging and caregiving.
There is no fee for services however, donations are encouraged. Contact the office to learn more about the program eligibility guidelines.
Funding provided by ElderSource, Department of Elder Affairs, and a Community Development Block Grant with matching funds from the City of Jacksonville Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, Senior Services Division.

We call it Curated Multicast Content Routing. It's the platform where opportunity is formed from data. And where context becomes a strategic and competitive advantage.
Tame the Firehose of Data
Analysts often spend as much as 25% of their time dealing with huge, noisy data streams. The Turbine collects, filters, and classifies data from many disparate sources. Streams of valuable content are aligned to topics, events, and crises, allowing for the extraction of clear, actionable insights and signals. Faster than ever before.
Re-Imagine 'Time to Informed Decisions'
The amount of time executives have to make key decisions is shrinking. 42% of executives say they have less than 24 hours to collect data, weigh alternatives, and choose a course of action. The Turbine delivers actionable intelligence quickly, giving executives time to pause, process, and proceed.
Expect Context and Insights
Point-and-click, self-service analytics tools lack in two critical areas: context and decision-grade insights. The Turbine leverages machine learning and advanced algorithms with human analysis and curation to ensure the perfect mix of numbers and narrative.
Keep The Attention
75% of executives tune out presentations in less than one minute, and emails after 30 seconds, simply because the content did not get to the point quickly enough. All of Turbine's products are designed to deliver insights and context within 25 seconds of receipt.
