Spring Run Update
We need to round up the all the info so far for this gathering in the midcape. Please update or suggest improvements for any items.
*MODE: We have a sort of clave here where we possibly lodge everyone between a few properties in the midcape area. It dawned on me that given this CLave is not advertised on larger Web Boards (ie.RT), it will probably not grow too far beyond the current size. If it does grow more, we can then go to another level. There are a couple of good meeting places like the parking lot at W. Dennis Beach Jetty if we need. Personally I like the idea of exploring new ways to Clave in addition to the large highly organized type. Those are great too but who says we can't do a smaller Clave in a looser fashion?
*Date: I selected May 6,7 as the weekend. For 2 reasons, first the following weekend is Mothers day and secondly the one after that is my daughters dance recital, doohhh. We could go the weekend before, but I figure less chance of getting bigger fish. (??)
*Lodging: I offered to sleep 6 at my familys cottage and then Juro and Roop said they may have some space for 1 or 2 at other locales. Need to confirm that.
My guests signed up so far are: Juro, Sully (tentative),BobD, JohnM, Grego,and Jay C.
So in overflow are: Al D., and Roop. If Juro gets a place that opens a bed at my house.
*Location: Location of my cottage is on Bass River which is S. Dennis, midcape. There is a free boat ramp a short drive away and boats can be anchored in front of my place.
*Fishing: There will be schoolies right in our area up to 20". We can do the whole river, find some holes and rips. Mouth of river and jetty/beach is 15 mins. at no wake speed. It's also about 20 mins to Barnstable Harbor by car but maybe we should stay on the South side (anyone? ) We can go anywhere since we will be midcape. We can try some creek mouths (ahem..Juro)where there may be some herring runs. Anything within an hour drive or so get's the whole Cape. The canal is 27 mins away too.
It's a little over 2 months from now so things may change.
I will beat the drum. Please make suggestions.
RE:Spring Run Update
Sounds good Terry!
Your decision on whether to make it a full regional event or keep it moderately sized. It'll be fun either way.
South side should be producing, if herring are in the fish will be on both sides. If we have enough boats we should include a bayside run to the big bass honeyholes. It's only 6-8 miles across the cape on rte 134 from where our cottage is to Sesuit as I recall. There are some surprising fisheries beyond the tideline in freshwater on the sound side that time of year worth trying too.
I'd recommend tying some very large herring flies along with the traditional fare.
This schedule leaves the bronzeback clave wide open too.
RE:Spring Run Update
Any chance I could join in on the May gathering? Ideally, I'd shoot down from Boston for the day (weather & family permitting) but if necessary a good friend's dad is in Dennis so I can probably wrangle a spot to stay.
RE:Spring Run Update
Sure come join us. I mentioned before that I'd like to try to not make my family cottage the grand meeting zone for a big Clave. Already we will have as many as 6 or 7 vehicles, 1/2 with trailors. Thats as far as I want to push it.
So we will have (as in other Claves) meeting places and times for the greater group.
RE:Spring Run Update
I am excited about a mini-clave, as the board grows and is 'discovered' the small community feeling will slip away but offshoots like a small clave have to be relished in the meantime.
My question to you is what can we (I) do to help you organize the logistics? E-mail me with thoughts if you want.
A meeting this month would not be a bad idea to lay out a plan and get some organization established.
With the weather warming up it is hard not to start getting distracted.
Jay C.
RE:Spring Run Update
Exactly Jay. This is a unique time. Small crew. With the possibility of 3 houses, and some day trippers we could see a number around 10 to 15. That's not really much smaller than some claves. It's not- too small to interest some of the bigger guns here, yet it's small enough to be easy to run. I do think it belongs to the FFForum though since it is launched from this springboard.
For now what I was planning on was:
1. Make a email mailing list for the 6 guys who crash at my cottage. This is for directions and odds and ends, bring sheets, food etc.
2. Have an open discussion here on where to meet up each day with the rest of crew. This usually entails Parking lot X at first light. This will mean Sat.am and Sun. am
The Cape is vast and we will be in the middle. We could go many places. There is plenty of knowledge to tap into on this board. We need to narrow it down to a few places and have some check in times to share info.
3. Plan a dinner gathering sometime during the weekend.
4. Juro, can we or should we move this traffic to some quieter section of the board?
ps. Can't wait to cast my new 9 wt. rod, reel ,and line into the salt!

Not to pat backs, until some of us (Al, Greg, the Esteys, etc) stoked the fire, that would be much bigger than the average clave. AND WE CAUGHT FISH

Like all claves it belongs to it's attendees.

I assume you already have those 6 people?

If it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me. I do think we should put it under SWFF / stripers though. Admin will take care of that.

Juro said:

See top of this thread under *Lodging
Great idea. We're 2 miles from there.
RE:Spring Run Update
Claves take on lives of their own. However, frequent postings tend to increase interest, but with the current state of cabin/spring fever I don't think interest will be a problem. I think this year we should try to have a couple of differnt "flavors" of claves.
(1) Full Blown. Multi-day, well organized & coordinated (food, lodging, boats, etc.).
(2) Mini. Same a regular, but with less Hoop-La.
(3) Casual. For example, some of us are going to fish at this place at this time & other are welcome to join us. These could be more like: "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."
RI Apil 15th weekend catagory (3)?

Clancey's sounds great!
RE:Spring Run Update - Clave Classifications
With respect to recent comments concerning categorization / clarification of the word "CLAVE" I would make the following comments:
First of all, who cares. Those who are jazzed with the prospect of being involved in a CLAVE do not bother to worry about official rules, titles or regulations. I know I don't. But I do know what this is really all about and I'd be happy to oblige.
Having arranged somewhere in the order of a dozen fishing get-togethers of various intensities (CLAVES) on both coasts and some rivers in between... I would *PROPOSE* that for the sake of those who care about official titles and things:
Conclave - An angling event involving:
1) overnight arrangements and significant planning effort
2) relatively large number of participants depending on venue, typically enough so that multiple locations can be scouted and reported to potentially focus the entire group on the hottest zones before the conclusion of the gathering.
3) an event that bridges groups, organizations, regions, BULLETIN BOARDS, and all that superficial stuff!
Of course, fishing a steelhead river would be different than fishing Nauset Beach or Bahia Honda State Park, so the number of anglers would of course vary.
Objective is to have fun, make friends, catch fish. I think people's enthusiasm to use the word partially stems from the totally awesome memories and experiences of the past.
I'll never forget Stephen Van Slyke's face when he hooked his first 16 pound ocean coho salmon on a herring tube fly off the north coast of the Olympic peninsula, or the look of a visiting New Yorker when seeing a 38 inch steelhead in the trout-sized flows of the upper Kalama, or the sunset on Race Point on the Outer Limits, or anything about the Boneclave.
I find myself saying this a lot lately, but "what's in a word?"
Continuing on...
Mini-clave: Whatever you want it to be.
Get together: no need for a definition.
I, for one, don't really care about definitions but it might be helpful to know what degree of involvement an event is going to require by the naming convention.
By the level of enthusiasm we've seen, it's going to be a fun year!
RE:Spring Run Update
Thank You Juro for the clarifications. I think the fact that people (me included) were be cautious about what to call a Clave, when and where, bodes well for the group. Until last year I didn't know jack squat about Claves. So I for one was just trying to show due credit and respect for the Clave Masters. I'm glad we were being considerate.
Secondly, it's evan better that your leaving it wide open to interpretation. Man we can make up anything we want. That's as free as the web! Cool.
As for "The Spring Run Mini-Clave" we will be rounding up more info over the next few weeks. Until then, lets wait for that first fishing report. Who will give it? Any bets? I doubt I could tell the difference between a holdover schoolie and a sea lice ridden one.
RE:Spring Run Update
Good morning from rainy LA.
I will see what the availability of the cottage is for that May weekend. In addition to Pete and myself, there would be 3 other beds, a sofa and floor space for any die hards.
**I will get a confrimation on the cottage this week so we can figure out who's staying where
I will volunteer our beat up old Suburban as a shuttle so we could move up to 6 guys & gear comfortably.
**FISHING Being a SWFF night stalker and tying into the night thread, how about a post Clancy's outing??
RE:Spring Run Update
i posted my reply to the early thread, let me know if you guys set up a meeting place for day-trippers. i've got a 2 and a 4yr old at home so it's doubtful i can go for the weekend... bummer cuz my sister has a place in harwich i might have snagged( maybe i'll try to talk to her if it looks like my wife will cut me loose for the weekend) tom
RE:Spring Run Update
Hi guys, just thought I'd let you know that there is a possibility of another house in the Marnston Mills area.
I will not know if I and the house will be availible until after the schools spring break.

Alumni discuss producing for Broadway, April 25
Posted April 22, 2005; 01:08 p.m.
Tony Award-winning producer Roger S. Berlind will discuss the art and business of "The Great White Way" in a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer A. Scott Berg at 8 p.m. Monday, April 25, in the Berlind Theatre.
The event, "From Medea to Madonna: Producing for Broadway," is this year's G.S. Beckwith Gilbert '63 Lecture, and it will take the form of a dialogue between the two distinguished Princeton alumni about the state of American theater. Berlind, whose extraordinary career as a Broadway producer spans more than 25 years, will be interviewed by Berg, who most recently published a memoir about legendary actress Katharine Hepburn.
Berlind, a member of the class of 1952, has won 12 Tonys. He has brought more than 50 plays and musicals to Broadway and London's West End, including "Amadeus," "City of Angels," "Proof" and celebrated revivals of "Guys and Dolls" and "Kiss Me, Kate." His current productions include "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Doubt, a Parable," which was just awarded the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
Berg, a member of the class of 1971, won the Pulitzer for his acclaimed 1998 biography of aviator Charles Lindbergh. He also has written biographies of book editor Maxwell Perkins and movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn.
Both Berlind and Berg performed as undergraduates in the Triangle Club; as alumni, both have been University leaders, serving on the Board of Trustees. Berlind has been a prominent supporter of the arts at Princeton, and his generosity made possible the construction of the Roger S. Berlind Theatre at the McCarter Theatre Center.
The Gilbert lecture was established in 1988 to bring innovative leaders in business, government and the professions to campus to discuss their ventures and the insights gained in their careers. This year's event is co-sponsored by the University's Council of the Humanities and the Program in Theater and Dance.

Shapiro named to USOC board
Posted October 7, 2004; 04:46 p.m.
President Emeritus Harold T. Shapiro has been named to the U.S. Olympic Committee board of directors.
He is one of four independent directors on the 11-member board, which is chaired by Peter Ueberroth, president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee for the 1984 Olympic Games. The volunteer board sets policy and makes financial decisions, including the hiring and firing of top-level staff.
The USOC board of directors was chosen by a four-person nominating and governance committee, which reviewed almost 200 nominations for the four independent director positions on the board, as well as six nominations submitted by the National Governing Body Council and six submitted by the Athletes Advisory Council for four positions (two each) on the board. As stipulated by the Olympic Charter, the U.S. members of the International Olympic Committee are automatically members of the USOC board of directors.
Shapiro, who earned his Ph.D. in economics from Princeton in 1964, returned to the University as president in 1988. After retiring from the presidency in 2001, he took a year's sabbatical, then returned to full-time teaching and research in the Department of Economics and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

We had a great weekend up at the Little John Rec. Area this weekend.
The weather was good.. nice a cold and lots of snow.
The Scouts of 664 did a fantastic job, they tested and learn skills, but more important, they developed confidence in their ability to camp in the cold and snow.
This was our 3rd snow camp, and our most successful.
Skills from setting up camp, planning good meals, and staying dry were tested and past.
The focus was to stay dry to see the effect the next day. There is nothing worse than waking to solid frozen pants.
I am pleased to say, that we made it fun and the Scouts did well.
We had about an hour of sunshine, but the temps stayed around 26 ensuring we would not get rain. You could not have asked for better weather really, considering it is January on Mt. Hood.
We spent 3 meetings getting prepared for this one. Practicing and developing skills before we hit the snow. Meetings dedicated to gear, first aid, and in camp routines payed off as we woke up this morning to a crisp 16 degrees and a light snow.
The Scouts emerged from their tents with smiles and warm feet. Breakfast was on the backpacking snows and the Assistant Scoutmasters and I enjoyed a steaming cup of Joe.
The load out was a bit slow, but we told the boys we were not in a rush.. so they took their time and enjoyed the setting.
What a difference a year makes. Skills built confidence.. Confidence made success.
Great Job 664.. I am always proud of you.
Happy Scouting!

I am working a 6 month old lab. We are currently going through formal obedience, and he is doing great thus far. We also are doing some marks every day to keep things fun for him. The problem I am starting to see is that he is developing a tendency to release to the gunner before going to the mark.
I am using Evans Smartworks but havent seen this yet on his series. He started doing this when I attempted to sit the dog and walk out and throw his mark. Setup-- about 30 yards in front of the dog, mark landing 20 or 30 yards to my right or left. So I am strait in front of the dog and the marks are landing at roughly 45 degrees to the dog. He started releasing to me the breaking right or left to the mark, and now this has started to happen when I have a BB
So now what did I do wrong and how do I go about fixing it???????
Thank you in advance for any help or advice..

The drop dead pretty boy hit the screen this year in Jason Eisner's grindhouse movie Hobo With A Shotgun. He plays the son of a criminal kingpin in Scumtown who crosses paths with an angry hobo in the film, but turned a lot of heads as he walked the streets of Park City this week.

You may remember Anton Yelchin from films like Charlie Bartlett and Star Trek. He's still as adorable as ever. And his new film Like Crazy was sold to Paramount this week during Sundance. It's a lush film about young romance, and the chemistry between Anton and his costar Felicity Jones is strong. Definitely enough to make American girls remember their crushes on the Russian born star.
We've already told you to look out for Win Win's Alex Shaffer when the movie comes out later this year. And we hope he gets some more roles after that. Because he's great in Win Win. And so adorable!
Evan Glodell plays the lead in his semi-autobiographical apocalypse romance film Bellflower. In addition to having impressive skills at building flame throwing devices, Evan looks great on screen.
He's leading the charge on the facial hair front at Sundance with that beard. And without it, he looks a bit like a young Tom Cruise. That is when he doesn't have a beard or horrible face tattoos (a temporary thing that happens in the movie).
It took Evan about 8 years to make Bellflower. And if he needs some distraction/income for his next project, chances are we'll be seeing him onscreen again soon.
And alongside Evan Glodell in the movie Bellflower is Tyler Dawson, who plays his slightly unhinged, drunk sidekick. (Who is also adorable.) Chances are we'll be seeing him soon too.
Kaboom is Greg Araki's trippy story of a dude named Smith (Thomas Decker) on his 19th birthday who is oversexed and alternating between liaisons with guys and girls when he gets a note telling him he is the "Chosen Son." There's lots of eye candy on display here, including Smith's roommate, who is of course named Thor. But Thomas Decker is at the center of it all, generally looking great as the action spins around him
Who knew that terrible facial hair would be so hot this season? Paul Rudd's new film My Idiot Brother fetched $6 million from The Weinstein Company this week.
Rudd plays a Lebowski like character, and reviews have been mixed, but Rudd manages to make cutoff jean shorts look good again. No small feat.
It's hard to imagine the star of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory as a heartthrob, but Freddie Highmore has grown up. He stars opposite Emma Roberts in Homework, and plays a high school student straddling the line between awkward adolescent and adult. By the end of the film, he jumps over the gap.
Based on a true story, The Music Never Stopped follows two parents who find their son (played by Lou Taylor Pucci) wandering the streets after 18 years missing. He has a brain tumor that prevents him from forming new memories.
It's an emoitional tearjerker and Pucci spends most of the movie with this scraggly beard (not that we're complaining!), but flashbacks point the audience to his noted adorableness should they have doubts.
'Septien' is the first feature film for director Mike Tully, and he is also one of the stars. He plays one of three wacked out brothers on a Southern farm. And while long beards and Ray Bans may not be your first choice for a heartthrob, he gets bonus points for originality. Septien is a weird, fun ride.
Also, we just love everything about this still from the movie.

I didn't forget. I prefer to repond in detail when at my computer and not when I am traveling. We'll pick this up next week when I get back. Until then, everyone can gasp in horror at the fact I believe the "inconvenient truth" to be mere propaganda.
@ irish - thanks for your contribution (your ignorance is duly noted)
@ phins - hypocrisy at it's finest - unless of course you are still here out. of bewilderment of why such issues have become partisan? - somehow I don't think so.
The IQ of this country must be declining seeing how ultra right wing nut case posts are becoming more common.
It was 100 degrees here in October. Something's definitely different, and it's not simply a "change in seasons".
In Long Beach, the highest recorded temperature was 111 °F (44 °C) on October 16, 1958, and October 15, 1961...
So not unprecedented. You may live in NorCal... but I am sure you can find exceptions there as well.
@ irish - feel free to copy paste past responses - ctrl c/ctrl v usually does the trick - I couldn't find anything pertinent in any of your previous posts from the past year and a half though
@ locke- I think the best way to continue with this discussion is to first define what you mean by "climate change"?
I am not going to argue that the weather doesn't change, nor am I going to argue the earth doesn't go through extreme periods of weather such as epochs of severe cold or massive dry-spells brought on by heatwaves. I am not going to even challenge the fact that human actions affect the environment.
What I am arguing is that humans have had such a minimal impact on weather (i.e. global warming/climate change etc.), as to be insignificant compared to other "natural" factors.
In other words, nature has been a lot more destructive towards the ozone and having an impact on your so called "global warming" than we could ever hope, and the term "climate change" has been politicized, and is often associated with destruction that humans have wreaked upon the earth and its effect on the weather. That's why I feel a lot "climate change" research has an ulterior motive with work done by groups (universities or agencies) trying to look busy and altruistic (finding reasons to remain employed), while "eco-friendly" companies are using the research to get government grants to help fund their pet projects or subsidize their latest "green" toys in hopes of turning a profit. A "progressive" government, meanwhile, can justify tax hikes on anything they deem harmful to the environment, while allocating energy resources as to where they see fit.
I'd venture to say that cow flatulence along with other natural causes of methane etc. has done far more damage than teenage girls using hairspray or commuters driving to work. The ozone has been more ravaged by radiation from outer space than by the disposal of fast food containers. Lastly, weather is far more influenced by distance from the sun than mere people. Even with all these "natural" It's conceited to think to think of ourselves as the both destroyers and saviors of the planet.
I'm not sure what you mean, are you implying the distance from the Earth to the Sun changes? The distance from the Sun to the Earth has been a constant for a long, long time.Quote:

A car emits a little over 2 times as much greenhouse gases as a cow. So what does this mean on a global scale? With the increase in the number of cars and light trucks over the past few years, especially in developing nations such as India, the 1.3 billion cows produce about 80% as much greenhouse gases as cars. However, that is not the whole picture
A senior UN official and co-author of a UN report detailing this problem, Henning Steinfeld, said Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to todays most serious environmental problems. Livestock production occupies 70% of all land used for agriculture, or 30% of the land surface of the planet. It is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases, responsible for 18% of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalents. By comparison, all transportation emits 13.5% of the CO2. It produces 65% of human-related nitrous oxide (which has 296 times the global warming potential of CO2,) and 37% of all human-induced methane. It also generates 64% of the ammonia, which contributes to acid rain and acidification of ecosystems. Livestock expansion is cited as a key factor driving deforestation, in the Amazon basin 70% of previously forested area is now occupied by pastures and the remainder used for feedcrops. Through deforestation and land degradation, livestock is also driving reductions in biodiversity.

Furthermore, according to the 1995 winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on the ozone-layer depletion in the stratosphere, they outline ways to reverse such damage based on human action.
In conclusion, while we can debate the causes of the depeltion of the ozone-layer, it is a real problem that shouldnt be down-played by either political party, & we should take steps to correct the problem, rather than pass the buck to future generations.Quote:
What can we expect in the future?
Thanks to our good scientific understanding of the ozone problem (and very largely to Crutzen, Molina and Rowland) it has been possible to make far-reaching decisions on prohibiting the release of gases that destroy ozone. A protocol on the protection of the ozone layer was negotiated under the auspices of the United Nations and signed in Montreal, Canada, in 1987. Under the latest tightening-up of the Montreal Protocol, the most dangerous gases will be totally banned from 1996 (developing countries have a few years' grace to introduce substitutes that do not harm the ozone layer). Since it takes some time for the ozone-destroying gases to reach the ozone layer we must expect the depletion, not only over Antarctica but also over parts of the Northern Hemisphere, to worsen for some years to come. Given compliance with the prohibitions, the ozone layer should gradually begin to heal after the turn of the century (Fig. 3). Yet it will take at least 100 years before it has fully recovered.
Fig. 3. Change in the chlorine content in the stratosphere up to the present and three different future scenarios:
a) Without restrictions on release,
b) Limitations according to the original Montreal Protocol of 1987
c) The release limitations now internationally agreed. (Chlorine content is a measure of the magnitude of ozone depletion.)

My problem with that article is they use one area that has accumulated ice & try to use that as evidence that the Earth as a whole isn't affected.Quote:

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, human activities have caused an increase in several greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide, a trend most scientists believe is causing anthropogenic greenhouse warming. Over the past two and one-half centuries the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has increased about 40 percent, from a pre-industrial level of about 280 parts per million by volume to a current level of 392 parts per million by volume. Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are already higher today than at any time in the past 150,000 years. And if the consumption of fossil fuels such as coal and oil continues into the next century at projected rates with no mitigation, the carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere would reach over 900 ppmv by 2100.
Other greenhouse gas emissions have been rising as well. Methane concentrations in the atmosphere have doubled since pre-industrial times. Other greenhouse chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons, are synthetic and have only appeared in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution.
Greenhouse gases are not the only chemical agent contributing to the warming of Earth's surface. In recent years increasing attention has focused on the role of black carbon aerosol particles in contributing to Earth's warming. Black carbon aerosols are "soot", a byproduct of incomplete combustion of fuels. Black carbon particles strongly absorb solar radiation and then re-emit radiation, so like the greenhouse gases they too can have a warming effect on the surface. Black carbon can also warm the Earth by reducing the albedo of snow and ice when soot is deposited on those otherwise reflective surfaces. Unlike many greenhouse gases, however, black carbon aerosol particles have a very short lifetime in Earth's atmosphere, typically only residing in the atmosphere for a few days to a few weeks.
There are complex interrelationships involving air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion and climate change. Human industrial and agricultural activity has been a driving factor in contributing to each of these problems. In a number of instances actions to limit emissions to address one problem will have effects on others as well.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that are the leading cause of stratospheric ozone depletion are also powerful greenhouse gases so actions to curtail their use will help in climate protection as well as in preserving the stratospheric ozone layer. Similarly actions to substitute renewable energy for fossil fuels or to increase energy efficiency in order to protect the climate are likely also to result in an improvement in air quality. Efforts to reduce black-carbon emissions are particularly fruitful environmentally since black carbon aerosol particles contribute to both the global greenhouse effect and local air pollution.

Reid wants an AIG refund
Sen. Reid says Congress is hoping to force AIG executives with millions in bonuses to give some of the money back to the U.S. Treasury.
Reid said Tuesday that the chairman of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee will issue a proposal in the next day or so that would require AIG to return to government at least a portion of the bonuses that the insurance giant paid out last week.
It's unclear how that would be done, but committee chairman Max Baucus suggested imposing an excise tax on the AIG bonuses. "What is the highest excise tax we can impose that will stand up in court?" Baucus asked. "Let's find out what it is."
And Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, while praising Obama's effort to recover the money, suggested the Treasury Department could have done more two weeks ago, before it agreed to give AIG another $30-billion bailout.
In a short speech on the Senate floor, McConnell asked, "wouldn't the Treasury and the taxpayer have had more leverage over AIG's executive contracts before providing another $30 billion in taxpayer money-rather than allowing the bonuses to be paid with taxpayer money?"
Sooooo. we are giving them another 30 BILLION and we want back the 165 Million....don't ya think that should be pretty easy for them....I mean wouldn't they just be paying us back with our own money?????
This money is GONE!!!!! Why give them more when they have done this (and in fairness it is a small % of the total) AND used the money to bailout overseas banks and to give more to those US banks that already got BIG bailouts.
Floks we are screwed and you aint even going to get a kiss
This could be posted under the tell them what they want to hear thread because both BHO and the congress/senate folks are talking tought about something they can't do anything about at this point, but it sure makes them sound like they are looking out for you huh

Pakistani rock star performs benefit concert, Nov. 17
Posted November 11, 2005; 05:09 p.m.
Salman Ahmad, one of the most famous rock musicians in Pakistan and India, will visit campus Thursday, Nov. 17, to participate in a forum on tensions between religion and artistic expression and to perform a benefit concert for earthquake relief.
A documentary film presentation and discussion will be part of an event titled "When Art and Religion Collide" at 4:30 p.m. in 101 McCormick Hall. It will begin with a screening of "The Rock Star and the Mullah," which chronicles Ahmad's investigation of conflicts between clerics and musicians in his native Pakistan. The screening will be followed by a talk by Princeton faculty member Stanley Katz, director of the Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies, and a question-and-answer session with Katz and Ahmad.
At 8 p.m. in the University Chapel, Ahmad and his band Junoon will perform an acoustic concert to benefit relief efforts in Pakistan following the country's recent earthquake. Suggested donations are $10 for University ID holders and $25 for the general public.
The Rev. Paul Raushenbush, associate dean of religious life and one of the event's organizers, said he and Katz had been "looking for a way to hold a discussion at Princeton focused on the balance between respect for religious beliefs and freedom of artistic expression. Salman Ahmad is both a musician and a person of faith, and his documentary is respectful while provoking many of these important questions."
Ahmad is a well-known activist for peace in South Asia and has been appointed a U.N. goodwill ambassador for HIV/AIDS. His band, Junoon, has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and in 2001 became the first rock act to perform at the U.N. General Assembly.
The events are sponsored by the Office of Religious Life, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Department of Music, Council of the Humanities, Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination and Committee for South Asian Studies.

Leaders have a choice to make. Simply put, they need to ask where they want to go?
This question prompts the next questions; What does right look like? What are the goals of my team or unit? How do we accomplish them? and finally am I being a good example of leadership or a bad example?
The last question will drive the answers for the rest.
Being a good example is Black and White… No gray.
You are either a good example or a bad example.. you can not play the middle. Leaders need to show consistancy. Many Scouts tell me that sometimes it is not fun being a leader because you can't mess around… my answer (having had attended college) is NO DUH!
Messing around is one thing, being a bad example is another. You can mess around, when it is time to mess around… You can not mess around when you are leading.
I ask the guys if they ever see the Assistant Scoutmasters and I messing around.. they say yeah. Then I ask when?
They all see it when there is a time and place to do so… having a chuckle during a campfire.
A little horse play during activity time (as long as it is not disruptive). There is a time and place.
Consistancy is the key. If a leader tells his unit to do something, or not to do something, then he turns around and does it, he is not being consistant and therefore being a bad example.
We all have a set of rules we live by. We grow up in homes with rules, we attend Schools that have rules, we live in a society that is governed by rules and laws. We also have the Scout law. A set of 12 rules that help us with consistancy.
If a leader is to gain the trust of the led… he needs to be Trustworthy.
If a leader is expect his team to be loyal… he needs to show loyalty to them.
If a leader wants his team to help… he needs to be helpful.
If a leader wants his team to get along… he needs to be Friendly.
If a leader expects his team to pay attention… he needs to show he is Courteous.
If a leader wants his team to stop arguing… he needs to demonstrate kindness.
If a leader expects his team to follow.. he needs to be obedient.
If a leader wants to have fun… he needs to be cheerful.
If a leader wants to take care of his patrols gear… he needs to be Thrifty.
If a leader has trouble making decisions… he needs to be Brave.
If a leader wants to be a good example… he needs to be clean in thought and deed.
If a leader expects to go far in life… he needs to be Reverent, remembering that nothing happens without God.
Simple rules to be a good example and stay consistant in your leadership.
Consistancy develops trust and confidence in the Scouts being led. Once they have confidence in you as a leader, you will have no trouble leading.
Remember consistancy and you can't go wrong… use the Scout law to be consistant, and you can't help but be right.
Happy Scouting!

Tinted coconut and candies are the simple extras that make sweet chick cupcakes.
An easy way to fill baking cups is to use an ice cream scoop. Use one that measures out almost 1/4 cup batter if filling regular-size cups. Use one that measures out 1 heaping tablespoon batter if filling mini cups.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Thread: getting rid of invasive snails
getting rid of invasive snails
I have a 20 gallon tank with guppies, tetras, and otos. I also have a load of snails (came with plants) that I don't want. I have been picking them out daily, but would like to find another (preferrably non-chemical) way to get rid of the snails.
My plants have been eaten by snails.
I also find snails in my filter.
Snails are small and brown with spiral shells.
I cannot get any more fish... the tank has enough fish already.
Any suggestions?
Last edited by newtoshrimps; 12-14-2012 at 06:07 AM.
That's a good option.
I'd supplement that with trapping a few times a week. Ramshorns are suckers for softened cucumber. Get a plastic drinks bottle, about pint sized. Rinse well, cut off the top where it starts to taper and push it into the bottle inverted so you create a trap. punch a few tiny holes to make it sink easier. Put in a slice of peeled and blanched cucumber. Put in the tank around lights out and retrieve next morning. Repeat 3 times a week.

I also had a snail explosion after I bought my 1st batch of plants - I found that when I cut down on feedings, they didn't reproduce as much. You might want to watch on how much & how often you are feeding your fish along with getting the assassin snails.
I had 2 assasin snails once, I found one floating on the top of the water (no shell)... and somehow "lost" the other. I found the empty shell at the bottom of the tank and no snail.
At the time I had 2 blind cave tetras and one kept going to the empty shell, so I think the fish may have assassined the assassin snail.
At the time I did not have any calcium in the tank... I now have a few shells in tank and NO blind cave tetra (they got too big for my tank, so are housed elsewhere).
Invasive snails got worse after taking out blind cave tetras!! Connection? !!!
I may try assassin snails again. But I will definitely try the cucumber trap.
Thanks for the help. I will try to update.
A snail trap would work, like the one described above. I use a small plastic container and punch holes into the lid and high up on the sides. Holes should be big enough for snails to get in, but small enough so fish don't get into the trap. Load it up with a few pieces of algae wafers or some sort of leafy green. Snails will get in and not get out. Or you could just put a piece of lettuce or something on the bottom of the tank, weigh it down with something, and lift that out each morning. Just scoop it up with a net so snails don't fall off. I prefer the trap though, works better can leave it in for days.
Assassin snails work great if you can find them. You're best bet to find them would be at a fish club or online. Could try plantedtank.net forum, they have a for sale section for Canada in there. Not too common yet in fish stores.
I've been plagued with snails in the past. What I do now is anyone new plant I get is cleaned before it goes into the tank. Add a bit of potassium permanganate to a bucket of water, add the plants to it, wait a while, and take plants out, then rinse them. It will get rid of the snail eggs. Be careful using potassium permanganate it will stain everything purple, including your hands, clothes, and anything else it gets on, so use gloves.
If you can't find any of the permanganate you could try bleach, but only dip plants in it for a quick dip. Leaving the plants in too long, will kill the plants. Also some plants will react very badly to bleach and will die with very little exposure.
Here is a visual aid to the trap being referenced here.
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
Another plant treatment that works well
Lady Hobbs told me about this:
Pick up a jar of ALUM in the spice section of your grocery store. Add a couple tablespoonsful to a bucket of water and drop in the plants. Leave them in for a day or so, then remove, rinse and plant in tank. The alum kills the snails and any eggs that might be on the plants. It works slower than bleach, but is less risky to the plants.
I also have assassin snails in my tanks and I see a LOT of empty pest snail shells on the substrate now. It does take time but the assassins are great pest snail control.
BTW - from your description of the snails' shells it sounds like you have Ramshorn snails. Damn things breed like mad, but POND snails are even worse!Dragoon Woman

25g: Planted, cherry shrimp, otos
5g: Planted, Betta
4g: Planted, betta
5 horses, 7 cats, all rescued animals
Question: This may sound like a "stupid question", but asking anyways.
Can I put alum directly into fish tank? Or will this harm the fish?
Also, at what temperature do I put water and alum mix when "cleaning" plants before putting them in the tank?
No, Do the alum dip in any clean container.. But not in your tank.
It makes no difference since as mentioned they sit in the dip for 48 hours or so. It ends up being room temp water.
Mix - Soak - Rinse - Replant. Searching 'Alum' onsite will bring up more details but there's really nothing more to it than that.

You are the definition of fanboy. Cannot stand a different opinion
The books portray her as a very nice girl as compared to the TV series, dont you think? I saw Season 2 before reading the books, so seeing how nice and innocent she was in the books really jarred me.
Marg pretends to be a sweet naive little girl but she is anything but that if you read between the lines. I think the show has portrayed her in the only way possible to get that point across to the viewers
We should only witness it once right? After his fight with Sandor is the only time we should see it
According to WinterIsComing, the Red Wedding WILL be in Season 3, and they are taking an entire 2 weeks to film the thing.
The writers publically said the Red Wedding would be the season 3 cliffhanger more than six months ago.
The writers publically said the Red Wedding would be the season 3 cliffhanger more than six months ago.
I would think it would be 8-9 episode though instead of the last just because they're going to want some kind of wrap up after the fact.
I think it would make for better television if they used it as a cliffhanger on the season finale. Particularly if they ended the season with arya getting hit by Sandor's axe but I think they have one more episode afterwards for fear of losing the non reader audience if they don't.

text: "Thank God she went to a different state to murder her child?" Cody Covey it is very clear that you have no idea what a tubal pregnancy is. This is one good reason that abortions should never be decided by anyone other than the woman and her doctor. It would not have been her taking a chance for the baby to live, it is a death sentence to a baby to be in the tube. When the tube bursts at a few weeks into the pregnancy the baby dies. If people wait for this to happen a bleed starts that oftens ends the mother's life also. There is no "if", no taking a chance that the baby will live it does not live, never has, never will.

Protecting Young Drivers 9/10/12
Consumer Reports says attacking the problem on many fronts can go a long way to preventing tragedy.
That's today's ON Your Side. ."
Renee Pisarz says her 18-year-old son Stephen was just a few miles from his destination when his car skidded on ice and flipped several times, killing him and injuring his passenger. Renee Pisarz "We'll never be the same. To lose a child is the greatest loss." What haunts Renee is that Stephen was not wearing a seat belt, a factor in about 60 percent of fatal car accidents for teens. Distractions like texting or talking on the phone are also factors. And in fatal accidents 27 percent of young drivers were drunk. "The first year of driving is the riskiest. Actually, 16-year-olds are three times more likely to get in a crash than18- or 19-year-olds." Consumer Reports says traditional drivers ed isn't enough and recommends advanced training programs to teach teens how to handle emergency situations and become safer drivers. And Consumer Reports says new technology like Ford's programmable MyKey reminds teens to do the right thing. Liza Barth "Ford's MyKey has some interesting features. A teen can't put the radio on until the seat belt is fastened. And also parents can set a top driving speed." The car itself is also important. Liza Barth "Parents tend to buy their teens older cars because they're less expensive, but they don't have the latest safety features and that can make all the difference." Consumer Reports says two really important safety features for teens … … electronic stability control and side curtain air bags. There is some good news - far fewer teens are dying in car crashes now than they used to - due in large part to graduated driver licensing.
These laws place restrictions on teen drivers, like limiting late-night driving and the number of passengers.
States with the strongest laws have seen a clear reduction in the number of crashes and fatalities.

With my functioning brain and eyeballs, I stated that the Miami Dolphins were a bad football team. Honestly, they've exceeded my expectations. But I also stated that the Jets were not much better, if at all, than the Miami Dolphins.
Imagine that.
"Deep threats. Wildcat. Sanchez having his best camp. Head Coaches are more conservative...Sparano won't be. Better QB. Better offensive line."
No. No. No. No. No. No.
All of it...NO.
It's like opening your toilet and finding a turd that just won't flush. Now, you have to take one of two faded AFC Wild Card hats and scoop that turd out of your toilet and throw it out in the gutter.
Tell us about next season like you guys did this season. It's never too early for good hard laughs at the expense of the New York Jets.

Our version of the traditional dish of Mardi Gras is simmered to perfection in your slow cooker. Andouille sausage, chicken, rice and Cajun spices come together for the perfect gumbo.
If you can find it, sprinkle file, pronounced (fee-lay), on gumbo just before serving. It's an authentic Cajun seasoning made from sassafras leaves. Be careful not to add it before the last minute, though; it can become a stringy mess if it boils in the gumbo.
Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.

'Celebration of the Arts' planned, Nov. 9
Posted November 7, 2007; 01:29 p.m.
"A Celebration of the Arts at Princeton," a showcase of free performances featuring faculty and students from the University Center for the Creative and Performing Arts, is planned for Friday, Nov. 9, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
Doors will open to the public at 4:45 p.m., and the performances will start at 5 p.m.
The event will include the Princeton premiere of "Margaret's Lullaby" an aria from the new opera "Margaret Garner" with libretto by Toni Morrison and music by Richard Danielpour. Morrison, the Robert F. Goheen Professor Emeritus in the Humanities, will introduce the piece, which will be performed by Tracie Luck and members of the Princeton University Orchestra. Luck sang the title role when "Margaret Garner" made its New York premiere at New York City Opera in September.
Also participating in the celebration will be the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, the Princeton University Jazz Composers Collective, the Princeton Nassoons and BodyHype Dance Company. Students performing in this fall's Program in Theater and Dance production of William Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" will present an excerpt. In addition, students will present original compositions by choreographer Mariah Steele, a member of the class of 2006, and composer Julia Brav, a member of the class of 2008.
Remarks will be offered by Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman, University Trustee Peter Lewis and Paul Muldoon, chair of University Center for the Creative and Performing Arts, which is sponsoring the celebration.

text: Reckless : Ty Hauck has left law enforcement for a job with a big-time private security firm. But he quickly learns that life in the private sector can be every bit as dangerous as wearing a badge - if not more so. When a successful trader at one of Wall Street's largest firms is murdered in his suburban home along with his wife and daughter, it seems at first to be a case of burglary gone wrong. Then another financial executive is found dead in a very suspicious 'suicide'. As Hauck digs deeper he uncovers a horrifying financial conspiracy that stretches from New York to Central Europe to London. And the masterminds behind it will kill anyone who gets in their way!

Microsoft Bans Consoles Running Leaked GTA V
Of course, leaks in an increasingly digital world aren't rare. Nearly every movie, record and video game in the past two or three years has managed to hit the 'net ahead of schedule. But in this case, there's a heavy price to pay -- at least for one that's probably a hardcore gamer. Microsoft has managed to pinpoint who exactly is doing the damage, and he has been banned from Xbox Live.
We suspect the ban will travel with his account, so if he ever attends to tap into the online Xbox realm again, he'll need a new attitude and a new identity. Honestly, he should probably be thankful that the punishment isn't more severe.

General Information
Shelton State maintains two campus libraries to serve all students and employees, regardless of the program with which they are affiliated. Library services are available to full-time and part-time students and employees. The Brooks-Cork Library, located on the Martin Campus on Old Greensboro Road, houses approximately 45,000 books and carries around 400 current periodical subscriptions. Its holdings provide support for both vocational and academic programs offered by the college. The Lewis Library is located on the C.A. Fredd Campus, houses approximately 2,000 books to support programs based on that campus, including a small basic reference collection, and over 50 current periodical subscriptions. In many cases, library resources that support instruction on the Fredd Campus are housed in individual shops or departments (and not necessarily centralized in the library).
Circulation Privileges
Students and employees may use either campus library. Books can be checked out for three weeks. Periodicals may be used by students only in the library, but employees may sign out periodicals for brief time periods (generally not to exceed 24 hours). Overdue fines are charged to students but not to employees. Replacement costs, however, apply to anyone who loses or damages items borrowed from the library.
Please be prepared to show photo identification, provide an S number, or provide a library card in order to check items out.
Audiovisual Services
All library materials, print and non-print, are listed in the online catalog. A printed list of audiovisual holdings by subject area is available upon request from Jean Epps in the AV office in the Brooks-Cork Library on the Martin Campus or Jean Mack in the Lewis Library on the Fredd Campus.
Use of audiovisual and projection equipment must be scheduled in advance to ensure availability. Delivery of AV materials and equipment can be scheduled on the Martin Campus with Jean Epps or on the Fredd Campus with Jean Mack (see Library Staff Directory for phone numbers). Full information (e.g., title of audiovisual, equipment needed, room number, date, and time) are required for scheduling. AV personnel are not available to remain in the classroom to supervise use of audiovisual equipment, but employees may ask for a brief training session for general equipment. There are several computer projection and video projection devices available as well; training on these, however, requires more time and a commitment from the user. Technical training is also offered via workshops throughout the year as announced.
There are no viewing rooms for class use on either campus. Individual viewing is available in the Information Commons section of the Brooks-Cork Library but not in the Lewis Library. Small group viewing rooms are available in the Brooks-Cork Library.
Most Library AV materials cannot be removed from the home campus without approval of the library staff. No materials may be used for fund-raising events. ALL damages that occur when AV materials or equipment are off-campus must be repaired at the expense of the borrower. Circulating AV (designated as CAV in the catalog) may be checked out by students. CAV are located on shelves alongside books of the same subjects.
Laptop computers and related projection equipment may be borrowed for off-campus use and for extended periods of time with prior approval and under specific conditions. Requests for this equipment should be made as far in advance as possible to ensure availability when needed. For more details on extended and off-campus use, see click here.
A limited amount of production equipment is available on both campuses. This includes digital camera, scanner, and wireless laptops. Instructors should see Jean Epps for information on producing audiovisuals and for checking out electronic equipment. All materials produced with college funds remain the property of Shelton State Community College.
There are many films available at low or no cost to the college. Instructors who wish to rent a film or video may complete a request form, which is available in the AV Office on each campus. Confirmation of booking will be sent to the instructor so that it can be scheduled accordingly. The library is not responsible for films or videos rented without prior library approval.
Copyright regulations limit the use of videos produced for the home market (and made available through local video stores); classroom use does not necessarily constitute "fair use" under copyright regulations. See Circular 21 from the U.S. Copyright Office (http://www.lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ21.pdf ) for more information.
How To Request New Books, Periodicals, AV, Equipment
The Library Faculty seeks the suggestions and assistance of faculty in the selection of materials in the library. Faculty members may simply provide a list of titles or a catalog with order information. The Library Faculty welcomes general suggestions for addressing weaknesses in the collection. Book requests may be made to any member of the library staff. or through "Suggest a Purchase" in the online catalog. Audiovisual requests must be previewed before purchase; contact Jean Epps or Jean Mack with AV requests. Periodical requests, for new titles as well as for Backfiles, should be directed to the Director of Library Services. The periodical collection is formally reviewed every two years for renewal with a common expiration date of December 31. When a new class or program requires immediate access to additional periodicals or other materials, requests for exceptions should be made to the Director of Library Services.
As more information is becoming available in electronic formats, the library is expanding its subscriptions and purchases of such information. Faculty requests are welcome. Internet/Web information is available in the Library for research and information purposes.
Employees should be aware that ordering materials usually takes several weeks. If there is a specific need for a "rush order," the Director of Library Services should be notified and efforts will be made to accommodate the need. The library does not routinely order computer software licenses for other departments.
Reserve Services
Academic reserves are managed through the library's online catalog. Almost any type of item (book, file, sample tests, periodicals, models, specimen, etc.) which meets library guidelines may be placed on reserve. With the exception of college publications or resources for employee use, materials are placed on reserve at the initiative of faculty for the non-commercial educational use of students and must be directly related to the educational objectives of the college. There are no charges for access to reserves. Faculty who wish to place items on reserve may contact Jean Mack on the Fredd Campus or Tamara Gainus on the Martin Campus. Reserves can be housed on either campus, depending on the instructor's preference. Coin-operated copy machines are available in both libraries.
In general the following types of materials (and similar items) will be accepted for Reserves at the request of faculty or staff:
Specifically, any items placed on Reserve must be in the legal possession of the library or the faculty member who provided the item(s). The library will make attempts to purchase items or otherwise help the faculty member secure copyright approval when necessary. This may take some time because of in-house paperwork for requisitioning and paying copyright fees or purchasing books or periodicals.
More details about Reserve requirements are included on the handout available in the Shelton State Libraries.
Faculty members are encouraged to use periodicals and other resources currently available in the Shelton State Libraries. When necessary and possible, library staff will purchase individual issues and/or initiate subscriptions to provide legal copies of items that faculty wish to place on reserve. Faculty members must provide enough advance notice to the library staff for handling such an order or purchase. The library staff is also available to help faculty identify relevant readings for their classes.
Student works (e.g., papers, completed assignments, journals, etc.) are protected by copyright regulations. Any student work that is to be placed on reserve must be accompanied by the written and signed permission of the student to do so (specifying name, contact information, title of item[s], statement giving permission, and dates included).
Instructors should bring items to the library at least twenty-four hours in advance of anticipated requests. All items should be logged in at the Reserves desk at the Martin Campus or the circulation desk at the Fredd Campus. The information you provide helps the library staff understand how best to serve you and your students. Please be sure to list a phone number and e-mail address where we can reach you in in case there is a problem with your file(s).
Please log in each item individually. Whenever possible, the library staff will file each item in a separate folder, which makes it easier for your students to get what they need and easier for the library staff to maintain control. The library staff also asks that you mark the original with some color notation so that it will be easier to keep track of the original. The library will gladly provide folders as needed.
Students should be directed to the AV/Reserves desk in Brooks-Cork Library on the Martin Campus and to the circulation desk in the Lewis Library on the Fredd Campus to ask for items, which are filed by the instructor's name or, in some cases, by department. All items are listed in the online library catalog by course and by instructor name.
Fair use copyright regulations govern many items that may be placed on Reserve. For more information on copyright for educators, See Circular 21 from the U.S. Copyright Office (http://www.lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ21.pdf ) or the library web page.
Lon Alexander, Sr. Memorial Collection of Employee Publications
The Brooks-Cork Library maintains the Lon Alexander, Sr., Memorial Collection, a special collection of books, articles, and other published materials, named in memory of history instructor Lon Alexander. Publications by any employee, full-time or part-time, can be donated to the collection, which is housed in a special bookcase in the Kiwanis Room in the Brooks-Cork Library. All donations must comply with copyright standards.
Library Orientation & Instruction
Librarians are happy to provide library orientation tours, lectures, handouts, and/or exercises for any instructor on either campus for any class. A number of handouts are already available and the Shelton State Libraries maintain some online resources. Instructors may request additional web guides. Contact Glen Johnson in advance to schedule a library session for a class. However, we request that you do not send a class without your supervision and that you ensure that your students are aware that they are expected to conduct themselves appropriately while in the library.
A formal program of library instruction is provided through two credit-bearing courses, LBS 101 (Library Skills) and LBS 102 (Research Skills). Students may enroll in either course for one hour of elective credit.
Within the parameters of college policy, the Shelton State Libraries welcome gifts of books, periodicals, and instructional materials which add value to the collection and carry no conditions of use or disposition. Although the library staff does not make evaluations for tax purposes, a voucher listing all contributions will be provided for the donor. Monetary contributions are also accepted.
Opinion Surveys
Brief surveys of students and employees are conducted online during the Spring Semester each year with students and employees as part of the library's program of evaluation. Additional comments or suggestions are welcome at any time. Evaluative comments should be made to the Director of Library Services.
Other Libraries Available to Shelton State Employees
With a current Shelton State Libraries card, you may check out items from The University of Alabama Libraries (UA) and the Stillman College Library. Your card must be updated each semester to indicate current enrollment or employment. You may stop by the circulation desk in either Shelton State campus library to get your library card stamped and updated each semester. Shelton State library users do not need to purchase community cards at UA Libraries (as long as they have a current Shelton State Libraries card).
Certain limitations are placed on the number and types of materials that can be checked out at UA (e.g., only items from the general circulating book collection and government documents). Electronic resources can be used while in the UA Gorgas Library at designated computers. Shelton State library users should be aware that there are numerous parking restrictions on the UA campus; some parking restrictions are lifted at 6:00 pm (Monday through Friday) and on weekends, but anyone interested in using UA libraries should make themselves familiar with UA parking regulations. For printing at UA, Shelton State library users may purchase a Community User Card from printing card dispensers located in Gorgas, Bruno, McLure, and Rodgers Libraries, or from the library staff at the Hoole Special Collections Library. Many resources can be emailed and/or downloaded to a thumbdrive as well. See the UA Printing page for additional information.
Kiwanis Room
The Kiwanis Room, located within the Brooks-Cork Library on the Martin Campus near the Silent Study area, is set aside especially for use by college employees as a place for research, study, and reading; it not intended as a place for meeting students or for regular group meetings. This room is locked, but library staff at the AV/Reserves desk will gladly unlock it, upon request, for employee use.
In 1997 and 1998, the Kiwanis Club of Tuscaloosa contributed to Shelton State Community College's capital campaign for the new campus. These funds were contributed for use by the library and subsequently covered the costs of furnishing this room and all of the group study rooms located in the library. In appreciation, the faculty/staff room in the Brooks-Cork Library was named the 'Kiwanis Room' and is the home of the club's archives. These archives are stored in cabinets in the closet of this room. Some plaques and certificates for both the Kiwanis Club and the college's chapter of Circle K, the collegiate branch of Kiwanis International, are displayed in this room. Also displayed are the original charter certificates for both organizations. These resources are not to be discarded or removed from the Kiwanis Room without contacting the Kiwanis Club of Tuscaloosa.
The Kiwanis Room also houses the "Lon Alexander, Sr. Memorial Collection of Employee Publications."
Guidelines for Student Athlete Study Halls in Campus Libraries
Coaches and others who supervise student athletes are discouraged from requiring "study hall" time in the library. During afternoon hours, when such study periods are possible, numerous other facilities are available and can be requested through the office of the Dean of Instruction. Individual student athletes with library, research, and study needs are always welcome in the library.
Alabama Virtual Library Home Access
The Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) is a collection of databases with full-text articles from magazines, journals, newspapers, and special reference sources. It is provided through tax money for residents by the Alabama Legislature at no additional cost to individuals or institutions. Access is available through any campus computer simply by going to http://www.avl.lib.al.us/ . Home access is available to any Alabama resident or student or employee of the college. Home access requires no login or password unless the user lives near the State line or accesses the Internet through a provider that uses satellite connections. Registration takes only a few moments and users have immediate access upon completion of registration. The databases included in the AVL range from resources for children to research journals for professionals. This is one of the best public services currently available in Alabama, and college employees are encouraged to take advantage of it. Any librarian can register users and demonstrate how to use AVL.
Library Services for eLearning (formerly Distance Education)
Instructors may request special services, web guides, and other information related to specific eLearning classes via email to a librarian or by phone (see the Library Staff Directory). Requests for AVL registration may be made via email when necessary. Audiovisual and reserve services are limited at this time for eLearning classes but efforts will be made to address requests on a case-by-case basis.
