PRS Tuners
WTF??? Shared screw locking tuners w/no wings???
My Gear
Tuner upgrade without making permanent mods to your old PRS????
Pretty sweet, Shawn. Pretty sweet.
One Life
Available soon from the PRS Parts Store?
As you were posting this, were you chuckling as you imagined all of those eyeballs popping out?
'And the answer is... none. None more Gold.'
LOL Lloyd, you got me.
Scotty B from the PTC devised a way to reconstruct your original shared D & G tuners using a set of Phase II shafts and gears. This allows you to keep the same tuner footprint on your older PRS guitar without drilling new holes, but also offers the performance and function of the Phase II tuners. Currently these tuners are only available through the PTC
I don't like. Now there will be less of the greatest invention ever devised, but if you could come up with a way to put wings on phase III tuners........
Very cool!
Too cool!! I need 4 sets of these.....STAT!!

Mapping travel patterns in North Hampshire and West Surrey
Tuesday, 28 May 2013
From 4 June residents and visitors in North Hampshire and West Surrey are to be asked for their help in generating up-to-date, accurate information about their travel movements.
Hampshire County Council is collecting this information in order to map current travel patterns for the area, gauge traffic volumes and to develop a clear picture of future transport needs, which in turn will help support bids for funding for transport improvements.
During June, July and September the County Council will be undertaking traffic counts across the area. In June and July the County Council will be surveying users of bus and rail services at stations and busy bus stops about their journeys.
Also during June, July and September, interview surveys, taking no more than two minutes each, will take place at around 40 road side sites in the Basingstoke and Blackwater Valley areas, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Motorists will be asked to give on-the-spot information about the journey they are making at that time, for example, are they travelling to work, where and where from?
At busy sites however, to help keep traffic flowing and keep delays to an absolute minimum, pre-paid postcards will be handed out for people to fill in and return by post.
Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment, Councillor Seán Woodward said: "Accurate information is vital as we continue to develop our travel and transport plans for the north of the county and neighbouring areas. It is an important element of the evidence that we need to provide in any bid to secure funding from the Government for future transport capacity improvements. I hope people will understand the importance of these surveys, and where they are given a postcard, take just a few minutes to fill it in and put it in the post. We will be grateful for their co-operation to this end and would like to apologise, in advance, for any inconvenience caused by this vital work.
"The data collected as part of this programme will be used to help inform decisions about which large transport improvements in the north Hampshire area are taken forward to bid for a share of funding from Government. Such bids for funding for large transport schemes require up to date survey information to be provided if they are to stand a reasonable chance of being funded."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The design team was able to help me with font sizes and made some changes to the layout as I requested. The paper turned out to be better quality than I expected. I wanted something elegant, yet simple, and this worked perfectly."
"I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the paper and printing for this church program! It's perfect and exactly what we wanted. Really sturdy card. Beautiful! Came quickly and without a hitch."
"I am very pleased with these programs. They fit all of the information I needed them to. I used them just to name the wedding party instead of the wedding ceremony because we're having a very basic ceremony and people generally like to know who's standing up there. The paper is very nice, just like the invitations. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the top of one of our names was cut off just a little bit. It's not a huge deal and I'm sure most people won't even notice but of course I did because it's my wedding. I thought they would catch something like that while editing them. The previews I saw were too small to see it. Other than that I love the product that I got."
"The paper quailty is superb. I didn't expect it to be as heavy and elegant as it was. It's classic in design and I know my guests will be very impressed. The text is easy to read and the color schemes were able to be tweaked for my wedding palette."
"I loved these programs and the staff at wedding paper divas was very helpful during the creation and proofing process! They are simple and elegant, perfect for my tradtional Catholic ceremony. I wanted to print something on the back, but that is not an option with this product. I was able to fit the short poem on the front cover, so it worked out for me."

Leadership in the Library Industry
17/10/2011 § 6 Comments
I love theory. The ideas that disciplines and professions are based off of. The bedrock of our world views. The base of our ideologies.
Some of my favorite courses in library school were the foundation courses. At the time they were frustrating, because I wanted to be working in a library. But now that I am working in the field, I appreciate those theory courses the most.
I find LIS theory to be a fascinating creature. We have our own theorists (like Ranganathan, Dervin and Kuhlthau) but we are also a discipline of adoptive theory. Communication, education, business and management, sociology, gender studies, even engineering theories (HCI and UX principles are starting to take over the profession) are all relevant to LIS.
One of the last required foundation classes I took was Management and Leadership in the Library Industry. While most of the class discussions were focused on Taylorism and Scientific Management versus more current humanist approaches to management, our instructor provided a very interesting recommended reading list. On it were authors whose books are typically found on the shelves of business sections: Stephen R. Covey, John P. Kotter, Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel H. Pink and Peter F. Drucker. I'll admit: at first I scoffed at these books. Having a background in sociology, I want my theorist to be a bit grittier (and a bit more European): Foucault, Durkheim, Marx, Marcuse and Weber. So I pretty much stuck to the required reading and was none the wiser…
…until recently. I had a good friend (and non-librarian) recommend Good to Great by Jim Collins. This was a title that was on that recommended reading list, and one that I normally pass over. But the friend who recommended it was not someone I would think of as reading it: she spent a number of years selling fair-trade organic coffee, has spent a fair amount of time traveling in Africa and Latin America (including Chiapas, land of the Zapatista) and only recently started working for a corporation (Whole Foods) because of the horrible economy. Not exactly your rank-and-file corporate worker. So I had to check this book out.
Much to my surprise, I am really enjoying it, and finding much of Collins' ideas surrounding leadership 100% applicable to libraries.
The most relevant lesson taken away so far is what Collins calls "the window and the mirror" theory:
"[Top-tier] leaders look out the window to apportion credit to factors outside themselves when things go well….At the same time, they look in the mirror to apportion responsibility, never blaming bad luck when things go poorly. The comparison leaders did just the opposite. They'd look out the window for something or someone outside themselves to blame for poor results, but would preen in front of the mirror and credit themselves when things went well. (Collins, Good to Great, p. 35)"
Collins uses steel producing companies to exemplify this idea. CEOs of mediocre companies would look out the window and see internationally produced cheap steel as the reason why their companies were not reaching their potential. While the CEOs of top steel companies saw the internationally produced cheap steel as an opportunity. The competing companies would have to ship the steel to the US at exorbitant prices, giving the American companies a distinct advantage. Likewise, these top companies look at their own operations for ways to improve their business, rather than blame outside factors for their failures.
I think the window/mirror theory is an excellent mindset not just for individual leaders, but for the library industry as a whole. We could look at declining circulation counts or reference questions as a factor out of our control that is pushing our services to the periphery. Or, we can look at the changing information searching behaviors of our patrons as an opportunity to offer innovative services and resources that exceeds our users expectations.
For example: In 2009, Project Information Literacy released a progress report, with findings that describes course readings, Google and instructors as the first resources students turn to when researching topics for their school work, and librarians as an overlooked resource. Looking for external factors to blame for lack of library use, this study could be a shining example. Instead, we should look at the fact that students are rarely seeking out librarians as an opportunity to create new services (such as embedded librarianship or collaborating with instructors and faculty) to better assist students. And we should be looking at our current services for potential areas of improvement.
It is widely know that we live in a time of change. Libraries of all types are facing major budget cuts, and we are fighting tooth and nail for what resources we do receive. Rather than being Chicken Littles about it, looking out the window to avoid falling pieces of the sky, we should be looking at the changes we face as the new reality and continue to offer excellent services and exceed our users expectations. Now is the time to ensure our place as leaders in the fight for a citizenry who is not just information literate, but information fluent.
I know that this book has been out for over a decade, and some of the companies that Collins have listed as "great" companies have been the most affected by our current recession (such as the now defunct Circuit City), but Good to Great is still an excellent read. It's worth checking out. But, as my hero Levar Burton often said: "You don't have to take my word for it…"
§ 6 Responses to Leadership in the Library Industry
You should skip ahead to read Collins' more recent book "How the Mighty Fall" in which Collins goes back to the "good to great" companies and find several of them floundering (e.g., Circuit City – now gone forever). Collins provides the five steps companies go through in falling from great to obsolete – and lessons we can learn to avoid it. There are also videos of him giving talks about the core points of the book if you don't want to read it. Glad to see that you have an open mind to the business literature as a way of learning how to lead. Many librarians reject business with a "we're not a business" mindset. My other recommendation is to follow the HBR blogs – there are one or two that focus on leadership and management. You will learn much more about both practice and theory from these authors.
I am taking my leadership course now and I have to admit, I felt the same way when I saw the reading list. However, I'm really enjoying reading, "Primal Leadership: Realizing the Potential of Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman (2002). I've found it to be a nice departure from those typical management books and really focus on the emotional – human side – "doing business". He gives great examples and focuses on the 6 leadership styles that effective emotionally intelligent leaders embody.
Looking forward to reading both of Collin's books, too! Thanks for posting!
Excellent post! I'm very interested in how theories in other fields apply to LIS, and I'm always looking for more reading material, so thanks for the recommendations.

CalHEP News
HBV vaccine patient assistance
CalHEP has produced a guide to patient assistance programs for receiving hepatitis A and B vaccinations at no cost.HBV vaccine patient assistance
Pharmacy Syringe Access (SB 41 - Yee)
As of January 2012, California has a new law to help prevent new cases of viral hepatitis and HIV. It allows licensed pharmacies throughout the state to sell or furnish up to 30 syringes to any persons 18 or older, without prescription, without identification and without a logbook. It does not require a vote of local government as had the previous pilot program. It is up to the individual pharmacist to decide whether to furnish sterile syringes to an adult without a prescription
The law also allows adults to possess up to 30 syringes for personal use, if acquired from a pharmacy, physician or authorized syringe exchange program.
The overwhelming medical and scientific consensus is that "Non-Prescription Syringe Sale" (NPSS) helps slow the spread of hepatitis B & C, HIV and other blood-borne diseases without contributing to increased drug use, crime or unsafe discard of syringes.
CalHEP worked with hepatitis activists, HIV advocates, drug policy reformers, and the largest associations of pharmacists, physicians and nurses in the state to push SB 41 by Senator Leland Yee (D-SF), to make syringe access through pharmacies legal in California. Now that it is law, we are part of an effort to educate pharmacists and encourage them to participate in the program and to provide information to the viral hepatitis community. Check back often for updated information and news.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Cloudy in Milwaukee and Madison: could be sunny here
While Milwaukee and Madison are looking pretty bad when it comes to exposing the work of government to the light of day--and the thoughtful eyes of taxpayers--Wauwatosa is considering taking a small but important step in the right direction.
In Milwaukee, the suitors for the city's water are being kept under heavy wraps. No one but a few officals, including city assessor Wally Morics, knows who the 18 are, much less what the details of the deals are. I'm really fuzzy about why the city assessor would have power in such an area, but that's another discussion. In any case, a few sensible aldermen said "not enough information, no go."
Benefits of competition?--revised
Note: This morning, I received a note asking me to withdraw my blog entry "Competition = higher costs" because it was based on a misunderstanding. The writer, Kevin Bruns, executive director of America's Student Loan Providers, is right about the error in my premise, but maybe not about everything being wrong. So instead of pulling it as requested, I'll print in full the note from Kevin and fix my entry. 6-5-09
You have confused the private education loans made by lenders (which have no relationship to the government and exist because schools increase tuition at a rate above inflation and Congress limited how much students could borrow in federal loans) WITH federally guaranteed student loans made by lenders.
In other words the premise of your article is wrong.
The Citibank letter relates to its desire to continue making federally guaranteed loans, which it has probably done for decades. The Obama administration wants to eliminate the program. The letter has nothing to do with private education loans.
The petition relates to federal guaranteed loans, not private loans. The signers support the continuation of choice and competition in FEDERAL student loans.
The administration's proposal would create a single lender, the Federal Direct Loan Program. It would have a monopoly with no virtually no competition. Think Postal Service without competition from FedEx, UPS or email.
Given the scope of the confusion, I request the article be pulled to avoid creating confusion among your readers.

When you open the main section of today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, above the ads for Summerfest, the Lubar School of Business, and "Freedom from ATM fees" at M&I Bank, you'll find a couple arresting images.

A number of banks and mortgage servicers have agreed to provide relief for New Yorkers struck by Sandy last week, a statement released today by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo's office said.
A number of state-chartered banks, including M&T Bank and New York Community Bank, along with mortgage servicers registered with the state (such as Citi Mortgage and Nationstar) agreed to provide the relief. The relief provisions vary depending on the institution, the governor's office stated. But most of the lenders who signed on have agreed to postpone foreclosures and late fees for 90 days, waive interest on a refinancing transaction that has been closed but not funded yet and, in some cases, give 90 days or more forbearance on mortgage payments for borrowers impacted by the storm.

The State's Superintendant of Financial Services Benjamin Lawsky also urged banks and servicers to consider altering or adjusting payments terms for affected borrowers.

Flattering but high-waisted
Very cute, flattering dress. I got it in the red. Perfect for pear-shaped women. However, I'm 5-8 and ordered the small because I'm small-busted. But the waist sits slightly above my natural waist, so I haven't decided it I'll keep it or not.
