Drug withdrawal is a reaction the body can have if a person suddenly stops using drugs or alcohol. This can occur if the person has been using drugs or alcohol regularly. Depending on the type and amount of drug you were using, withdrawal can be a life-threatening condition.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chances of drug withdrawal include:
Withdrawal symptoms are different based on what you used. Symptoms may include:
- Marijuana—loss of appetite, chills, weight loss, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, irritability, feeling restless or nervous
- Alcohol—shaking, hallucinations, seizures, confusion, anxiety, sweating, nausea
- Barbiturates—weakness, tremors, hallucinations, lack of appetite, seizures
- Opioids—abdominal pain or cramps, muscle aches, panic, tremors, sweating, nausea, diarrhea, fever, chills, irritability, goose pimples, runny nose, drug craving, inability to sleep, yawning
- Benzodiazepines—abdominal pain or cramps, fast heartbeat, vomiting, tremors, seizures, anxiety
- Cocaine—anxiety, feeling tired, depression
- Amphetamines—depression, irritability, sleeping too much, muscle aches, abdominal pain
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may recommend blood and urine tests.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include one or more of the following:
This is the first step in treating substance abuse. You will be closely checked for signs of withdrawal. You may be given medications to reduce cravings. Medications will also help to reduce withdrawal symptoms, which can be severe. Treatment is targeted to the specific symptoms and drugs used.
You may need to enroll in a rehabilitation program. This treatment uses behavioral therapy to prevent you from using drugs in the future. Behavioral therapy may include the following:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches you how to recognize and avoid situations that may lead to drug abuse.
- Family therapy helps you and your family look at patterns of drug abuse. Strategies are suggested to avoid future abuse.
- Motivational therapy uses positive reinforcement to prevent drug use.
Residential Treatment (Therapeutic Communities)
Residential treatment is sometimes needed. The typical stay is 6-12 months. These facilities will help you learn how to live a drug-free life.
Support Groups
Support groups offer continued support for a drug- or alcohol-free life. Some support groups are Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, and Alcoholics Anonymous.
To help reduce your chances of developing drug withdrawal, take the following steps:
- Attend regular support group meetings.
- Avoid people and situations where drugs are available.
- Inform all healthcare providers of your history with drugs.

SF School District refinances bonds, lowers interest rate
By refinancing a series of 2003 bonds, the South Fayette School District locked in an interest rate of about 2.98 percent and will save about $173,000 in the 2013-14 fiscal year. The board voted 6-0 to refinance the bonds at its June 18 workshop meeting. Board members Alexander Bill Newcomer and Alan Vezzi were absent.
"This is not going to extend the debt at all," Jamie Doyle of Public Finance Management told the board at the meeting. She said by refinancing, the district is replacing old higher interest rates with today's lower ones. She also told the board that the district has maintained its A1 credit rating.
Doyle said the new call date for the bonds is October 1, 2018, which is the next time the board can refinance.
Anthony Ditka, the district's bond council, told the board that the bonds are scheduled to close at the end of July.
Intermediate School update
Joe Brennan of P.J. Dick presented change orders for the new intermediate school to the board at the June 18 meeting. Total change orders presented at the meeting amounted to more than $36,000.
One change order is an owner-requested item to add geotextile and stone along the south road and fence. Brennan said the district requested the change for maintenance purposes so mowing would not have to be done in that area. The cost of that is about $4,000.
Another item is to modify the handrail and posts in the clearstory area of the building so that the posts are 51 inches high. The cost of that is about $1,500. Also, adding mini-blinds throughout the building on interior windows comes in at a cost of $3,800.
Another change order is for about $5,000 to relocate a sanitary line due to a breach in a wetland. Brennan said the area below the wetland had to be cleared and grubbed, as did a new section of wooded area. An eight-inch sanitary line and two manhole structures also had to be installed.
Board member Leonard Fornella asked Brennan if the project is still on time. The building is to be substantially complete by July 22. Brennan said the project is on time, but it's "extremely tight at this point." He added that it's no different than any other project at "crunch time."
Brennan said furniture was to start coming in on June 19 and final cleaning is already being done in some sections of the building. Fornella said that July 22 is a "hard deadline." He said there will be penalty provisions for every day if that deadline is not met.
The board is scheduled to tour the building on June 25.
Budget update
Brian Tony, district director of finance, and district accountant Maria Brewer-Aguilar presented updated budget numbers at the June 18 meeting.
Tony presented three options for the board to consider for its June 25 budget vote. Last month, the board approved a proposed final budget with a millage rate, going to the two percent index, of 24.4432 mills.
The numbers are now adjusted to reflect updated reassessment numbers from the county. Tony said the revenue neutral millage rate would be 23.9041. If the board decides to go to the two percent index, which would add 0.5019, the rate would be 24.4033. If the board goes to the two percent index and also takes the exception for PSERS (Public School Employees Retirement System) at 0.3093, the rate would be 24.7126.
The rates are adjusted due to the county-wide reassessment. The 2012-13 millage rate is 28.8241. Brewer-Aguilar said all of the numbers are "still far below our last year's millage rate."

The bulletin of Atlanta University,
|1 of 4
This page
Loading content ...
Vol. 1. ATLANTA, GA., JANUARY, 1889. No. 6. THE BULLETIN OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. Issued monthly during term time from the University printing office. Entered at the Atlanta, Ga., post office as second class mail matter. Subscriptions at 25 cents a year may be sent to the treasurer of Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga. Editorial. "Why don't you get a train of Pullman cars, and bring a lot of our good northern friends down here to see this wonderful work ?" Thus remarked Rev. Dr. Joseph B. Clark, Secretary of the Home Missionary Society, the other day, as he was taking a survey of Atlanta University. If we were as fortunate as some of our •companion institutions are in possessing a location nearer to our northern friends, such a suggestion would not seem visionary. As it is, we must depend on] such reports of our work as we can make through the Bulletin, and on those which such friends as Dr. Clark may feel interested to convey from their own personal observation. We are fortunate in catching occasionally a traveler bound to Florida or New Orleans, and to all ;such we extend a most hearty welcome. The following paragraph, which appeared in the Atlanta Constitution Dec. 22, carries its own comment: "The Christmas drunks have begun in earnest. A surprisingly large percentage of the drunks are white men. Not more than one in four is a negro. One white man was brought in from the lower end of Decatur street on a negro's back. The darky's name is Henry Rhodes and the man was brought for nearly a mile. He was too drunk to tell his name. Patrolmen Walton and Abbott, who arrested the man, came in with Rhodes and his passenger. The sight was a comical one and there was quite a procession behind them as they left Decatur street." Comparatively few people are aware how much good is being done through the agency of the Wednesday afternoon temperance meetings held by the girls in Stone Hall. We hope to be able to present soon a short report of the work being done by this society. An interesting evidence of the value of these meetings was recently brought to light. One of the girls who attends regularly succeeded in persuading her parents to banish wine from their e n Christmas day, when she was at home for a brief vacation. Wine had always before been served at her home on that occasion. WANTED—LIGHT! Among the minor wants of Atlanta University just at present is a good magic lantern. One of the teachers has commenced a series of talks to the students on Africa. The latest data regarding the continent, political, religious, educational, social, moral and scientific, is to be embodied in these talks. In order to give vividness and realism to the information thus conveyed, a light of some sort is greatly needed which will enable the speaker to take advantage of a promised loan of over 80 lantern slides illustrating Africa, and such other slides as are procurable from eastern houses that deal in lantern material. Best of all, of course, would be a first class gas lantern or stereopticon. Unless some good friend provides such a machine, we shall be contented with a first class oil lantern. The most powerful oil lantern made can be had for $40. Who will pledge this sum of money, and who will pledge another sum, equal or larger, as a fund for the purchase of slides ? FIVE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES. The Bulletin hereby submits to its readers a list of five different minor needs of Atlanta University, for any one of which they are at liberty to provide . I. A collection of good, modern maps for use in teaching geography. II. A printing press with a bed-plate measuring 13x19 inches—large enough to print two pages of the Bulletin at a time. III. A good magic lantern, or better still a stereopticon, and a fund for slides. IV. Chandeliers for the college chapel. V. Twenty-five more benches, seating six persons each, for the college chapel. ------------•------------ THE PRINTING OFFICE FUND. The Bulletin gratefully acknowledges receipts and pledges as follows in aid of the printing department fund: Reported in December Bulletin,............................$128.00 Mrs. Carrie M. Bryant, Amherst, Mass.,.........................5.00 Woburn, Mass., Cong. S. S.,.........................................25.00 Plainville, Ct, Cong. S.

Class, Auburndale, Mass.,...........2.00 Mrs. Walker, Auburndale, Mass.,..............................1.00 Rev. F. E. Clark,.................................1.00 A Friend.....................................50 Mr. Cooley,.................................1.00 Mrs. E. B.

S...............................................15.00 Total,.....................................$332.80 [Of the above amount $139 was pledged with particular reference to the purchase of a paper cutter.] To the kind friends who have thus remembered us we tender our sincere thanks. If any of you come south this winter, or at any future time, we extend a most cordial invitation to you to visit us, and see what good fruit your benefactions are destined to bear. It will be seen that the printing office fund has already reached $300, so that one of the conditions attached to Mrs. Spelman's offer, (referred to in our last issue), is realized. The offer, it will be remembered, was one of $50, based upon two conditions: first, that $300 was raised by outside means, and second, that a Sunday School in the city of New

I liked it It works but the directions are terrible. I thought you were supposed to put your nail on the magnet until I went on another website and realized I was wrong. February 15, 2013
Love it !! I just used this product for the first time and really do love it. It worked better for me if applied a light coat first. It dried fast so by time got the last finger on both hands done was ready for the second coat which I did heavier. The magnet does work great and through trial and error found that if I held the magnet at a slight angle away from nail instead of closer the pattern was more pronounced and less chance of smudging nail. I bought the purple and silver colors and the pictures on the cap are no where near the colors that really happen. I did put a clear top coat hoping that the colors stay longer. Anxious to find out the results of that. I did the purple color first and am now excited to see how the silver turns out and am going back to get more colors before the sale is over. July 1, 2012
Disappointed I followed the instructions completely and I could not get the magnet to make any design on my fingers. I even watched some youtube tutorials wondering if I was doing something wrong. I wonder if some of the magnets are defective. May 15, 2012
love this product i bough this product and i am just loving it, i love the design that come out after! April 6, 2012
3 messed up brushes!!! I LOVE the polishes and the magnets are strong and pulls the design up nicely. The thing I am NOT happy about though are the brushes. Three of the five bottles I got have bent up twisted brushes. This makes it VERY hard and messy to paint with. Other than that I would recommend this polish. March 17, 2012
Great product at a good price The magnet on these is very very strong, especially compared to other brands. The polish glides on smoothly and the brush is nice and wide. I had no problems getting the magnet to work or the design to stay - as with ALL magnetic nail polishes, the design will fade over time. The magnet was easy to use and handle. I especially appreciate the nail guides to prevent smudging. I picked up the dark pink, which is really more a mauve color, and the gold, which is an antiqued gold. The pink, blue, and green come with waved lines and the gold and silver come with straight lines, so if you buy two you can get two different designs to play with. These are also very reasonably priced, which I really appreciate. February 14, 2012
THIS PRODUCT WORKS!! if you follow the instructions it works perfect!!! apply generously and immediatly hold magnet over top for 15 seconds. i advise a top coat to prevent it from fading prematurely!! most awesome product ever! February 11, 2012
Good, but it Has a Couple Downsides It Works Great, but After a While You Really Can't See the Design. I Mean You Can but Not Really. February 8, 2012

|Behave yourself at the bar!
10 Epically Annoying Ways to Behave in a Bar
46 comments :
Ugh. Another condescending, smug diatribe from Miss Manners. You keep mentioning the term service employee while seeming to forget that the operative term is "service". No, patrons should not be rude to their bartender, nor to one another, but there's a world of difference between rude and simply expecting service. "Double ordering"? Really? If this upsets or confuses the poor thing then maybe they're in the wrong profession. Ditto for asking what ingredients are in a drink. Leaving your coat on the barstool? Sure, some folks can be downright clueless – or perhaps a bit too buzzed – but it's not like they puked on the bar or something. What's wrong with simply asking, "Is anyone sitting there?"ReplyDelete
Have we really reached the point where merely bothering to show up for work makes you a model employee?Replies
I'm so glad you wrote this. I've never seen such a ridiculous piece of advice. Please don't bother your mixologist because he may remember he hates people and is only doing this while he looks for another job. I love bars and bartenders but whoever wrote this sounds like a 10 year old.Delete
Agree wholeheartedly. While many of these are annoying, they're neither epic, nor changing. Disgruntled bartenders should blog, not pretend to be miss manners.Delete
I agree with your comment, Anon. Luckily I'm not guilty of asking a busy bartender, "oh, gee, what are you making?" and if I have it's because they were cool to begin with. Bartenders and servers can be ridiculous and act entitled to their tips, but I've learned when I'm dealing with those kinds of people, I do not tip. Simple. :)Delete
I am sure that all the replies above mine in which I am writing are very young and feeling entitled people!! I do not believe this is smug to inform you of proper etiquette when out in public in any service environment. I know the next thing you are thinking that this person writing this is in the service industry, and the answer to no. I am 54 years old and very thankful to my parents and the era in which I grew up that I know how to act in public. I can only suggest they if you are a college graduate you should continue your education in a few finishing school classes as this will serve you better in your adult years to come.Delete
I've got to admit, I've spent 10+ minutes waiting quietly at a crowded bar, and holding my cash in my hands on top of the bar always seems to subtly but effectively work. Was a wake up call to see that as #1.ReplyDeleteReplies
Really. Was at Super-hot LES eatery last week and was absolutely invisible at a semi-crowded bar untilI put cash in my hand.Delete
Many, if not most, of the bartenders in LA are completely inept boobs with absolutely zero sense of subtlety. One *must* have money in one's hand to get attention - however I will concede that is very different from waving money like a flag at a football game.Delete
As a bartender, I can say there's a difference between having your money ready and waving it around. One signifies patience, the other, impatience.Delete
I agree with the statement above. Having your money out didn't "work" you were just the next one to order. I ignore money flappers. Usually if you are so disrespectful to flap money, you are an annoying misbehaved drunk and probably an absent tipper.Delete
I am OK with most of the list, but to decry the "hover and swoop" is to say "I have never been out in a crowded city bar."ReplyDelete
How about ordering at the bar before sitting down at a table, then refusing to order from the server because you "already have a tab at the bar", or even better asking them to get your drinks on the original tab? Some bartenders will transfer the tab; others won't. Cocktail servers already give a chunk of their tips to the bartender; they don't need you keeping them from making any money from the table at all while handing 100% of your tip over to the bartender. -A Former Cocktail WaitressReplyDeleteReplies
Right on, coming from another former cocktail waitress :)Delete
I was not aware that this is a problem for servers. I would think that ANY service you provide (even bringing a drink that had previously been ordered on a bar tab) would be appropriately acknowledged at tip-time. I tip based on service not on the price of the meal. If you give good service you get a good tip - generally 30-35% but I'm happy to reduce that if you dont want to serve me!Delete
Well that's where you are wrong. There is a reason that they either ask you to transfer or close out. Almost every bar works under the principal of what you made is yours, the idea of pooling all your tips is something from a 1980's diner. That's why articles like this are written to inform and ignorant public on proper form.Delete
Some POS systems won't allow you to transfer bar checks to tables; it's not that the bar tender or server won't transfer the check, it's that they simply can't.Delete
My pet peeve is the customer that has waited several minutes while others are being served then, when I get to them and ask what they're drinking, they give me that deer-in-the-headlights look as if they didn't realize a quiz was coming. Sometimes they ask: "What do you like?" Or, "what do you think I should have?" WTF? You walked into a BAR! Is it too much to expect that you'll have already given some thought to what you want to drink? Do you get into a CAB and ask the driver where you should go?ReplyDeleteReplies
PRICELESS, bowing low my friend and double ordering.... blow my brains out !Delete
Sorry, but this list (unlike the good Server one) is a bit unrealistic, even mean. A bar isn't a toll booth where people are supposed to put their money down and go away as fast as possible to maximize the bartender's income...theres nothing wrong with putting your bag on an empty stool -- somebody who wants the seat will just ask you to move it. Similsrly, where is the family whose table isn"t ready supposed to sit -- hasn't the author ever heard of just serving a kid ginger ale? As for "snappers," we hate them, too, and it's inexcusable -- but as for #1, flashing money, quite frankly, is sometimes the only thing that works.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you pointing out that kids don't need to be taboo at the bar. That said, of course, they do need to behave like little angels. That is the responsibility of the parents and not of the liquor commission or the state legislators! Otherwise, these kids will wake up one day and suddenly they can buddy upto the bar and don't have a clue. As a result we are breeding a bunch of clueless and misbehaving bar patrons!Delete
Yes, a Shirley Temple or a plain ginger ale will do just fine!
Maybe some of the older patrons who don't know how to behave themselves will display better manners at the bar if there is a child and future patron present?
No kids at the bar. Get a babysitter.Delete
NO KIDS AT THE BAR. Oh no tables well stand there and wait or next time make a reservation. No its not ok to put your belonging on An empty bar stool because now it looks occupied. My pet peeve "I know the owner."Delete
I agree that #1 is silly. It's one thing to be holding out a bill to show that you have money and you're ready to order, which you definitely have to do sometimes, without "flapping it around." As a girl, lots of times I get ignored by (especially female) bartenders unless I have cash in my hand showing I'm ready to spend it.ReplyDelete
The rudest bartender I can remember was ignoring/oblivious to me for quite a bit, and when he was finally at the part of the bar where I was for more than a moment, he was making a cocktail. I asked for two beers - the place only had bottles, not even draft - before he finished and ran off again, so that he would get to me when he finished the cocktail. He totally ignored me while he was busy with his mixing, so I didn't think he heard me, and when I said "two Brooklyns please when you're done," a second time, then he looked at me and snapped "I'm BUSY here, I heard you the first time." All I had needed was an "ok" or anything at all reasonably polite to let me know that he heard me. Obviously I didn't expect him to drop what he was doing in the middle of the cocktail and run and get me the beer. SO rude.
Also, while it's one thing to give a "deer in the headlight" look when you're asked for a drink, it's also supposed to be ok, or even encouraged, to as a bartender's opinion, at least if the bar isn't busy. Many places have specialty drinks, and if a customer provides some direction about what they like or are looking for, as I understand it's encouraged, not frowned upon, to ask for the bartender's assistance in picking a drink.
As a "retired" bartender, I feel permitted to state with conviction you missed a big one - banging on the bar (to get your mixmaster's attention). This was my absolute #1 "per peeve" in the days when I swung a set of liquor bottles into the mixing cup. Wave your money, snap your fingers - fine: you're déclassé, but I'd still serve you. Hammer your fist on my bar? Instant 86!ReplyDelete
no questions?.....know what you want?.....don't change your mind......why bother with a bartender at all....why not get a screen interface and just punch your drink order in and have a calibrated automated dispenser....sadly the whole concept of service is slowly disappearing from the service industry.....by the way...why exactly am I tipping you again?...ReplyDeleteReplies
I love your response. This is so true in many service-related industries! Even in retail, many cashiers don't say "thank you" after completing the transaction. They hand me my merchandise along with my change and/or receipt and say "here you go" even though I am friendly and smiling. No reciprocity. This happens so frequently that I no longer feel sorry for cashiers getting replaced by self-checkout stations.Delete
How about the "fake nice" people who pretend to instantly be your best friend so they can get "hooked up" but turn out to be super asshole/cheap when it comes to the tipping part?? Why isn't THAT on the list....ReplyDelete
the #10 on this list would be one of my top 3...
For the record, there are plenty of amazing genuinely nice people that still do the shit on this list, but we will always have the ones we like, and then ones that rub us the wrong way.
Comparing the sometimes 80 seats in the dining room with the somteimes eight stools at a bar is ridiculous. Only in "Yuppie" territory will parties hog restaurant tables with menues at their paces to sit over a glass of wine for hours without giving up the table. Some people reserve a bar stool for all the hours the bar is open and many customers who have been at the bar for years never actually get to use a bar stool.ReplyDelete
I totally understand why all of these "do nots' would annoy bartenders. Luckliy I've been guilty of only doing one of them (the coat on the stool thing). I don't understand why this list makes some people here annoyed to say the least from the some of comments I've read. Good manners is always appropriate---even in a bar.ReplyDelete
I don't think there's anything wrong with asking for more liquor in your drink. When I watch the bartender pour the vodka in at the same time as the soda, there ends up being almost no vodka in it, and then they charge you $10 for it (if you're lucky). That's an absurd amount to pay for what amounts to less than a shot of vodka. I don't understand why a bartender takes offense to making a decent drink, they'll certainly get tipped better for it.ReplyDeleteReplies
"When I watch the bartender pour the vodka in at the same time as the soda, there ends up being almost no vodka in it"Delete
Totally untrue! My 1.5 oz count coincides perfectly with the amount of time the soda gun takes to top off a 9 oz cup filled with ice, and it is blended perfectly since they were being mixed in at the same time.. Bartenders are not ripping you off. See the "flavorless liquid" comment in #10!
Do you go to diner and say that your steak wast big enough and you want more but don't want to pay for it? No. Do you go in the grocery store and say you want more but don't want to pay for it? No. So shy would you think its appropriate to do at a bar? It's alcohol....the main source of income for a bar, they don't juat give it away. And please read the comment above because that is exactly the truth. It's ignorant and cheap people like you that make these list necessary.Delete
Interesting...In 20-plus years as a bar customer, I've rarely felt there wadn't enough liquor in my drink (and it was almost always during two-for-one or discount happy hours.) If you routinely feel you've been shortchanged on alcohol maybe you have an unrealistic expectation if what the drink should taste like.Delete
First, vodka is not a "flavorless liquid." If you drink it straight up, you can tell the difference, and some cheap vodkas are like turpentine.Delete
Second, while it is admittedly bad form to ask for more liquor in your drink, try being on the other side. I've ordered an old-fashioned at one bar, and the bartender made it great. Another place, it was insultingly watered down, 90% soda water, and at least 12 bucks. If I could, I would go back to that bar and ask for free liquor just to spite you, ignorant second replier.
No kids at the bar. If they allow kids, it ain't a bar but a holding room. Yecch!ReplyDelete
I have been a bartender for 27 years and none of the above seem to be a consistent bother. This is a service industry and you are there to serve the customer ... Full Stop! What has been a consistent bother to me is getting my attention after a few minutes and not knowing what to order for yourself or the others you are with. Take the time to know what you and your friends are drinking. This will speed service and avoid annoyance. For the love of god, have some money ready ... You are buying a drink ! Nothing could boil my blood more than waiting for people to fumble through there pants and hand bags in a crowded bar atmosphere.ReplyDeleteReplies
Aha! So waving money IS a good signal. Just yankin' your chain...Delete
I mostly see younger (as in under 25) doing this but what irks me more than anything is the pay with plastic guy/girl.ReplyDelete
Paying with plastic is fine, as long as you arent making the bartender close it out everytime you order a round. Do you not trust your friends to settle up the tab later? Do you not know if you will be at the bar for another drink? This irks me as a customer too because everytime you order your 6 red headed sluts I have to wait for your card to be rung, receipt printed and signed all while you are spilling your drink everywhere fumbling with your phone, card and reciept.
Its called an ATM you idiot. My favorite bars are all cash only.
There is a common etiquette to be applied in the bar. It is it's own set of rules that, of followed, allow for a smooth flow at the bar. You are all there to have a cocktail and mingle amongst other bar goes there to do the same. Get to the bar, wait for the bartender to see you..because we do..know what you want, have money ready..but don't wave it or call our names (especially if you don't know us personally) and be considerate of others trying to get a cocktail. Don't take up more space than necessary, and of you see the bartender is slammed, don't be offended if they don't drop what they're doing to have a conversation with you. We are at WORK and are busy maintaining the flow of the bar. By nature, most of us are social and like talking to people, but when we are actually really busy, we have drink orders to remember, tabs to close out, change to give..along with all the other stuff to keep track of behind the bar..going on in our head. It's not that we are snobs and can't be bothered..it really is a demanding job. Anyway....you aren't usually at the bar specifically to hang out with the bartender, unless you are a personal friend. Even then, respect our job. Be friendly, be considerate...and you'll get the same in return. If I ask you how are you, don't say you'll have a jack and coke. We are people attempting to provide service with a smile. And I can't speak for all bartenders....some are just not cut out for that position, and won't last very long in the industry.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for shedding some light on what it's like from the other side of the bar. Really professional bartenders remain cool and make the job look so easy, as customers we have no idea how much is going on in your head. I will not forget your comment about remembering drink orders, closing out tabs, and giving change, and will be sure to share this with any patron who acts impatient or comments that they are being snubbed.Delete
I much prefer the guy/gal who has cash in hand (never waving it) to the one who waits until I have delivered and they have sipped their drink to even reach for their pocket to get the wallet, then ignores the first time I tell them how much it is asks again while looking distractedly for the card they feel like using.ReplyDelete
If there are no patrons waiting, by all means, take your time. But if there are, use that time you were waiting to 1) think about what you want to order 2) take out whatever means of payment you will use and 3) find out what your friends are drinking so the rest of the bar doesn't have to come to a screeching halt! I can't move on to the next customer since until this transaction is completed.
To you who are offended:
You'd be annoyed at the grocery store if the person in front of you in the express line got to the front and then couldn't decide what they were buying, waited for their friend to stroll up with their purchase, and waited til the teller told them the price to get out the wallet, right? Same damned thing at the bar! And we bartenders then get to face all the angry customers who think it's our fault they are waiting so long for us to get to them. Whew.
#1 is wrong. It is actually considered PROPER bar etiquette to have cash in hand. It's a flag of sorts to show you're ordering, out of the many people packing the bar who are not. Plus, I do feel in bars with multiple bartenders where the order of patrons waiting is not tracked, it helps get you back to the front because the next open bartender would prefer to transact with you, cash ready, than with someone who might not be ordering or be ready to order, and might be paying via card.ReplyDelete
Now if it's a quiet bar and not busy, it's not necessary to have cash in hand. But for a busy bar, there's no other way.Replies
Ha ha. Would love to see someone waving around their cash at the country club! Anyway, I agree with you and the advice from the bartenders: be ready to order and pay. It's a flow thing in any busy place. Next!Delete
Obviously we're talking about two different types of bars.A restaurant/hotel bar and a club/lounge bar. Smaller bars tend to be more relaxed and more one on one with the customer and the bartender is generally more experienced. The faster club bar is all about slinging drinks and generally the bartenders are kid or less experienced. With the two, there are always differing scenarios but there is one thing the same, a rude customer who thinks they are the only one in the place. They can be rude to other patrons as well as the bartenders. Like mentioned in the article, I've seen them all. Add alcohol to the person and watch the problem increase 10 fold.ReplyDelete
One of the most "epically" annoying things to me is the ridiculous overuse of "EPIC".ReplyDelete
RE: #7, it is also annoying when a bar does not have a place to put your coat/bag, especially when the floor is dirty. Hooks under the bar are a good thing.ReplyDelete

[Series] Library School Starter Kit – Questions and Advice
19/08/2011 § 12 Comments
This is a collaborative post between Teresa Silva, who is entering her first year of library school at the Pratt Institute of Information and Library Science, and Turner Masland, who is entering his final semester of Emporia State University's School of Library and Information Management.
Teresa: Finally, after months of waiting, I'll be a student once again. I'm excited and eager to get going. Following various blog source recommendations including a recent post, I've started a blog, I have a twitter account, and after years of having a cell phone solely for dialing and texting, I've upgraded to a smart phone. I've registered for my classes, all core, which I figure will give me a better idea of what I'd like to concentrate in, so come second semester I'll be able to take classes with more of a focus. Now it's just a matter of attending orientations and various introductory activities before school at the Pratt Institute School of Information and Library Science officially begins on August 29th.
The next two years will be dedicated to learning as much as I possibly can about the realm of information and library science. I'd like each class that I take to be challenging, to learn how to effectively relay information to the public in which ever concentration I choose, to be able to engage with my professors and classmates and develop strong professional relationships, and to reach my goal of graduating and finding a job in something that I enjoy.
Now, I'd like to ask my fellow collaborator, Turner Masland, some questions about his first year experience.
1. How was your orientation to library school?
2. Did you feel you were given all the information you needed during your orientation?
3. What expectations did you have upon starting school? Were those expectations met by the end of your first year?
4. Was there anything unexpected that occurred and you wished someone had told you about?
5. What advice would you give to someone who is about to enter his or her first year of library school?
Turner: Let's start first with Teresa's questions:
1. How was your orientation to library school? My orientation was a whirlwind! With a lot of information thrown at me, it was pretty overwhelming. We had a panel of current students and alumni who spoke to us about their experience and offered advice, with them mostly telling us the importance of getting a job in a library, getting involved in professional organizations and networking as much as possible. This was a lot to take in. But it was good advice, especially if you understood that you weren't going to accomplish it all in the first few weeks (or even the first term) of library school. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will your career. It is going to take time.
That first day, I remember sitting down next to the girl with the most tattoos, because she seemed like an interesting person. Little did I know that she would become one of my closest friends. It will be important to get to know your classmates: they are going to be your collaborators throughout your time in school, your networks as you enter the profession and some of the only people who are going to understand what you are going through. In many ways, they are your support group and they are important to the process.
2. Did you feel you were given all the information you needed during your orientation? Great question! If I did, it went in one ear and out the other. There was just so much information thrown at us, it was hard to take it all in. Listen to what your faculty, advisers and fellow students have to say, and try your best to jot down what seems most important to you.
3. What expectations did you have upon starting school? Were those expectations met by the end of your first year? My expectation was that library school was going to teach me everything there is to know about being a librarian/information professional. Looking back, that was a silly expectation. Library school is the start of the process of developing your career, and it is going to set you up with an excellent foundation. But it can't teach you everything. You will learn just as much (and in some cases more) once you start managing information in your first job/volunteer gig/internship.
4. Was there anything unexpected that occurred and you wished someone had told you about? Not to scare anyone, but I did not expect it to be as hard as it was. This is a pretty subjective view, because some people in my program thought it was too easy and others didn't make it through. Juggling work, school and life became a challenge. Seeking out help and talking regularly with my *amazing* adviser got me through the program. I realized that it was okay for me to slow down the program a bit (I'm finishing the program a semester after many of my cohort members), and was thankful to have a wonderful support system with my family, classmates and professors. My advice: don't be afraid to ask for help!
I also wish that someone told me to join Twitter earlier! The blogs/articles/opinions/insights shared there have directly contributed to many of my classroom experiences! There would be many times when I would join a discussion with the line "Just the other day, I saw on Twitter…"
5. What advice would you give to someone who is about to enter his or her first year of library school? Teresa asked some amazing questions, which has already covered a lot of what I would say here: Know that this is a start of a journey; library school will prepare you, but prepare to learn outside of the classroom; don't be afraid to ask for help.
I think the biggest piece of advice that I would like to offer is to remember that librarianship and information management is a collaborative process, and this concept manifests itself in many ways. The most direct way you will experience this is working with your classmates. If your program was anything like mine, every class incorporates group work. You will also need to network and get your name out there, as that is how you will most effectively land a job: through people you know and through people who know you.
You also need to pay attention to what is happening in the industry at large as well as what is happening in the areas in which you want to focus your career. There is a constant conversation happening on Twitter, Facebook, Google +, Tumblr and on blogs. Librarians love to share their stories and their observations, be sure to tune in and share your perspectives. Being open to collaboration is going to not only advance your education and careers, it is also going to prepare you to handle a profession that is never going to stop changing.
The most important piece of advice I can give you: Have Fun! This is an awesome profession comprised of fascinating people and it is very welcoming to new students! The learning process that you start in library school is going to continue throughout your career and you are going to be amazed at the places it will take you!
§ 12 Responses to [Series] Library School Starter Kit – Questions and Advice
I love this collaborative format!
I agree with all of this advice (great post, you two!), and for #5 I would add: pretty soon after starting library school, start using Google Reader (if you don't already). Along with librarian blogs, start adding job feeds into it – LibGig, ALA Job List, etc. Look for jobs that really interest you, then look at the skills/qualifications needed to be hired. Then start acquiring those skills! When you're just starting school, you have an advantage, because you can plan your time more wisely. You can do extra internships, take on side projects, plan to take a particular class, etc. because you knew you needed a particular skill for your future job. Good luck, Teresa and the class of 2013!
Great post! When I started school last fall, I didn't understand the fuss about Twitter or RSS feeds either. But I am learning they are essential tools. I just set up my Google Reader last month (and thanks to Lauren's tip, I'll be adding job feeds!).

Teresa – I'm in my last semester at Pratt SILS and will be at the orientation Wednesday. Don't hesitate to reach out to me there or anytime. Students involved in our "clubs" (Pratt student chapters of SLA, ALA and ASIS&T) in particular are happy to talk to newer students.

Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.
Tosa KrautSpiel Is a Gas
Tosa has been home to curling since 1920 - making the Wauwatosa Curling Club one of the oldest in Wisconsin.
Scoring the Tosa Mayoral Forums - Second Installment
Three Forums so far - good ones I might add.
The February 21st forum conducted by the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce has had the largest turnout. The questions were good.
Alderman Grimm Pays a Visit
So last Sunday afternoon I returned home from hunting with girlfriend - exhausted. Looking forward to putting my feet-up, I strip down to my long johns and stretch-out in a comfortable chair to read the papers.
Ding Dong
Scoring the Tosa Mayoral Forums - Third Installment
The final organized Public Forum devoted to Tosa's mayoral race was held on Thursday, March 13th. I was there and it was excellent. I was told that approximately 120 people attended.
The students at Tosa East and Tosa West along with WauwatosaNOW deserve a big hand for all of their hard work in making this happen.
Exorcising the Winter Blues - Part 4
Can't you just anticipate spring waiting to be sprung tomorrow?
With spring practically here summer is not far behind.
Tosa Mayoral Race and the Ordering of Priorities
The Joint Committee on the Preparation of the Comprehensive City Plan is the group charged with reviewing the city's master plan on a regular basis.
You know - the vision thing that's been bandied-about in the four public mayoral forums.
Mayoral Finance Reports
In keeping with my practice of performing a valuable public service I have saved all of you a trip to City Hall and $5.00 in copying costs.
Here are the candidate's campaign finance reports.
The Mummy's Curse
I have been away.
Upon my return to Tosa I was thrilled to learn that I had received my very own personal copy of campaign muck - Authorized and paid for by Tosans for Responsible Government, Stanley L. Zurawski, Sr. Treasurer - as an unbiased and ostensibly independent supporter of the Didier for Mayor Campaign.

Getting Along With Computer Science Folk
14/11/2012 § 11 Comments
It's a simple fact: each year library and information science becomes a more technical field; there is an increasing expectation that by the time you leave library school you will have some amount of technical skill (coding, web design, database creation, etc.). As many schools adopt more and more technical information science courses, the once harsh line that separated librarians from computer scientists has become a lot fuzzier.
Much has been done to increase dialogue, positive relationships, and collaboration between the two groups. Many LIS careers now include technical components and interaction with computer scientists, IT personal, and other technically-minded people is often the norm. While many LIS students approach technical classes with trepidation and anxiety, many others come away with a passion for the work and enough technical fluency to hold their own in a future workplace that includes highly-skilled computer science professionals.
However, I have noticed, both in personal and professional instances, a definite negative reaction when librarians tell computer scientist students and professionals that they are learning technical skills. I've experienced this myself and have heard similar stories from other LIS students. So, for my inaugural HLS post, I decided to reach out to my friends with degrees in computer science (of which I, coincidentally, have many) to figure out why library students and librarians are often met with such an icy reception from our CS counterparts, and what we can do to change it. From their responses, I gleaned the following reasons/problems, and have tried to posit solutions. Please keep in mind that the quotes and ideas below represent the opinions of individuals about a multi-faceted problem; my intention is not to stereotype or offend, but to explore ways to build partnerships and mend discord.
- One friend suggested that a key problem is past exposures to non-CS people learning CS. For instance, at his undergraduate institution his early, introductory classes were usually about half filled with CS majors and half filled with business or engineering majors who were fulfilling a CS requirement. In his experience, many of the non-CS majors spent most of the class complaining about how hard the material was and how much they didn't like it. Thus, while many of us often struggle with our tech classes and find them challenging, it is important not to come across like we're bashing CS or that we resent it being part of our degree. If you do resent having to learn tech skills that much, I would suggest a different line of work; the LIS field will continue to embrace new technologies and expect technical skill from students and professionals.
- Another problem I gleaned from my conversations with friends is one of image and perception. The stereotype of the bookish, card-catalog obsessed librarian of the Dark Ages still exists, as evinced by one of my friends: "I'd guess that a librarian would use programming for building a catalog or doing research – both things that are considered slow, low-tech… This reinforces the view of libraries as low-tech – an unfair view, yet one that I have to admit to holding to some small degree." To combat this mindset, we must be forthcoming with details and excitement about the outcomes of LIS technical knowledge and education. Explain to the skeptical parties that LIS students and professionals are working with humanists and computer scientists to develop cutting edge research tools, with historians and in archives to make one-of-a-kind resources more accessible, and with local communities to increase public engagement and digital literacy.
- Lastly, one of my friends suggested a simple case of "tech elitism": "They think they're better because they know more about something that's valuable and thus can look down on those less familiar with the same thing." Others echoed this opinion, suggesting that sometimes people can be arrogant. This boils down to a general problem that probably extends to a few bad apples in every field. The only advice here: don't let the haters get you down. If you explain your mindset, intentions, and reasoning for learning tech skills and they still scoff? In the words of one of my good friends: "I have no idea what is going on with them but they sound like jerks." Agreed.
With such an interdisciplinary field, librarians must always be ready and willing to collaborate with new groups and disciplines to ensure the continued excellence of our work. How do you combat skepticism, derision, or simple misconceptions about librarians and the LIS field? Any great recommendations or success stories from effective collaboration and understanding between LIS folks and others to share?
Also, for encouragement and resources regarding library students learning tech skills, please refer to the following past Hack Library School posts. These posts were a huge contributing factor towards my own decision to embrace new tech experiences and learning opportunities:
Why I Learned to Love the Command Line
How to Hack Your Summer Vacation
Librarian By Name, Geek By Nature
§ 11 Responses to Getting Along With Computer Science Folk
There's also MLS students who come from a technical background. At least that's my background, and what admissions folks tell me. One person told me that ~20% of their MLS students have professional I.T. experience. Since I haven't started my program yet I'll be interested if others find this accurate
The real gem in Web Design is how many designers and developers without a formal education treat CS majors – with ice. Their reason is well-founded: they're often better. In fact, they makeup the who's-who of the web. I think it would behoove and humble CS-folk to recognize this.
As a librarian/web developer/graduate of an engineering school but with a non-CS degree/wife of a software engineer, I could write entire essays on this and I'm not sure how to focus my thoughts. But from my huge grab bag of mixed feelings the one emerging most strongly is this — if we're going to talk about getting along with software people, shouldn't there be fewer of us sitting inside an echo chamber talking about what software people look like from a librarian perspective, and more of us doing what you did to write this post — asking them?
[...] My first post, about how LIS people can successfully collaborate with computer science people, can be found here. [...]
I actually haven't found it to be true that CS people are hostile towards librarians. I think some may be a bit surprised with how techie librarians can be, but I've never felt talked down to.
I have a great relationship with other IT people at my place of work. They answer my stupid questions, they put up with me pestering them (can we please have modern browsers installed on our public computers?), and sometimes I even have a useful bit of information to share back. It's pretty symbiotic.
I'm not exactly sure where I fall on the spectrum, but I'll add in my 2 cents. I finished my LIS program in 2011 and fell into an information architecture position. Now 1.5 years later, I definitely have a more nuanced position than I did back then. When I left my program I definitely felt like the "technical" aspects of my curriculum had been lacking. Now I know that this was true. It's not enough to simply teach someone XML, HTML, CSS, etc. As with playing an instrument, you've got to practice those skills day in and day out. The dissonance between programmers and non-programmers is that (at least in my experience) when non-programmers attempt to insert themselves into the conversation they tend to come across as ignorant. And vice versa. The key is team work and honesty. At this point my XML, HTML skills are excellent, but my Javascript, Python, and XSLT skills are mediocre. My counterpart (who's also a friend) more than compensates for my deficiencies and we actually make a pretty good team. The key to our success has been that we both continuously learn from the other and neither expects that we're gonna be an expert.
It's not that LIS and CS people don't get along (again in my experience), but more that many LIS people straight out of school simply don't have the skills or experience that most CS people do and CS people don't have the skills or experience that LIS people do. The key is teamwork and mutual education.
Thanks for this post Nicole! I'm starting my LIS Master's degree at UofI in January and have been slightly anxious thinking about taking technical classes. My boyfriend is a CS grad student — and naturally am surrounded by a lot of other CS/Engineering majors — and can vouch for their side of the story (as well as some of the "arrogant" personalities), which has mad me nervous about not having a solid technical background. Nice to see the LIS world being aware of some issues within the technical field and creating changes as the field changes as well! Makes me even more excited to start this new career :)
