Beans seem to be a recurring topic here, but why not? They're frugal, nutritious, and so versatile. And they can even be sprouted for more nutrition – but that's another post. Today I just want to talk about the prep work involved BEFORE the cooking starts.
For my non-bean-converted friends: are you intimidated by the steps involved in preparing beans? Or do you just think you don't like the taste?
I wish I had some great segue here, but I don't – I really just hope to remove the intimidation. I've loved beans ever since I can remember, so I can only urge you to keep trying them different ways. Baked beans, chicken tortilla soup, and white chili are some ideas to get you started. And you already like hummus, right?
If you're new to using dried beans, sorting might be the most confusing step. It doesn't take long, and it can be kinda fun (especially if you have some OCD tendencies.) There are many ways you can do this, but here are some methods I've used in the past:
– Take small handfuls and inspect carefully
– Spread the beans out in one layer on the counter or in a large flat pan with sides (like a jelly roll pan) so you can see all the beans (and any foreign objects) all at once
– If you're using a slow cooker, you can pour the beans onto the clear glass lid and spot the misfits pretty easily (although you can't tell in this picture):
Here are a few things I sorted out of some pintos awhile back:
Those black pebbles are commonly found in a lot of beans, but you DEFINITELY want to fish them out – the one time I didn't sort my beans, I ended up with a really gritty-tasting soup because those pebbles are concentrated field dirt. I usually find more in black beans than any other type of bean – maybe they're sorted with optical scanning equipment so they get by because they appear to be beans? That's my theory anyway.
I also look for beans that are small and shriveled, excessively dirty (like a black spot covering a whole side of a white bean), or otherwise look old and mishandled. Beans that are old won't cook as well and won't taste as good.
The next step – rinsing – is fairly straight forward. You can put the beans into a large sieve or colander and run under the tap to clean them well. This is not optional, unless you're cool with consuming a nice layer of "field dust," which could include insect droppings, dirt, etc. A good rinse will remove a lot of this, and the next step should remove the rest.
Soaking — the final step — is also easy, but requires a little more forethought. It becomes mindless pretty quickly, though, once you work all of this into your weekly kitchen routine. I will discuss this in more detail in another post.
Do you have a favorite bean recipe? I'm always looking for new ones!

Webcams are incredible little devices that allow you to bridge communication gaps between yourself and someone who can be thousands of miles away. They are fantastic fun for children too, who can talk to their friends from their homes. Families can stay in touch, and people can even find love through the direct communication that is Webcam use.
The very first Webcam feed was set up about 20 years ago. Rather than the current trend, where people can use Webcam feeds to show the rest of the world some great scenery or a dynamic image, that very first feed was of a cup of coffee in Cambridge University.
One of the most common uses for Webcams these days is the arena of videoconferencing. Companies have long struggled with the travel expenses incurred in getting executives from one meeting to another, and this has affected the budgets of companies very heavily. It used to be the case that a sales executive, for example, would have to travel hundreds of miles to make a presentation that may not result in a sale.
These days things are different with the effective use of videoconferencing. This is where Webcam is set up, often through client software like Skype, and then people can hold meetings through video conferencing and the use of the camera. This means that people get to talk to each other, present and discuss issues, without having to incur huge travel expenses. It has become a common thing now to have meetings held via video conference. This frees up the money that would normally have been spent transporting people from one place to another. This extra money can be used for other aspects of running a business, like marketing and / or sales resources.
It is now common for laptops to come with webcams installed as standard. It used to be different, and you would have to use an external webcam with a fitting that would often go into your USB slot. While this may be incredibly practical to have the internal webcam, it does have one drawback. If something goes wrong with the webcam that is fitted in the casing of the laptop, you can not just buy another one and stick it in the USB port. You have to take the computer itself away to be fixed.
Webcams are great fun, and they are incredibly useful too for anyone who wants to communicate with someone who is not in the same room as them.

Yes, the Writing Center "Does" Grammar and Punctuation
Perplexed by Punctuation? Glitches in Your Grammar?
The Writing Center "Does" Grammar and Punctuation. Here's how...
Writers visiting the Writing Center typically ask for feedback on thesis, organization, and clarity. But while these "higher-order" concerns are paramount for most students who use the center, other writers are at a point where they want to focus on sentence-level issues. It's really up to individual writers to identify what they want to work on during a conference.
We know proofreading your own writing is a tricky business. It can be really hard to catch your own mistakes. We want to make it easier for you to catch and correct those mistakes you do make, and to show you how to write sentences that say what you mean in the way you want to say it. Above all, we want you to leave a conference knowing how to do something you didn't know before you came in. We don't just want you to have a stronger paper; we want you to be a stronger writer. Here's our plan:
- If you bring in a paper and tell us you want to work on grammar and proofreading, we'll work with you to identify any errors you make, pointing out mistakes we see. This is different than copyediting your entire paper for you. We will collaborate with you and probably focus on just a couple of paragraphs during a single session to develop a sense of your pattern of error. If you want to work on longer chunks of text, plan ahead and make multiple appointments.
- You can help. If you know you have trouble with a specific kind of sentence structure, or you're worried about a specific part of your paper, let us know. If English isn't your first language, let us know, because sometimes there are different strategies that work better for non-native writers.
- We will ask you to read your text aloud as a way to begin identifying grammar errors that occur more than once, because any errors you make consistently and frequently will probably be the first ones we'll want to work on. We probably won't get to everything in one or two sessions, but this way, we'll get to the most troubling problems first, and by isolating the patterns, you'll learn to recognize them yourself much faster.
- For any particular grammatical problem, we'll first work on helping you understand the underlying rule or concept. And we will show you how to use a writing handbook to identify errors and make the necessary revisions.
- We'll help you explore your options for rewriting a sentence more clearly or correctly. We'll probably ask you more questions about the idea you want to get across, and how you how different ways of restructuring a sentence have different effects on the reader.
- Only you can rewrite the sentence. Two reasons for this: 1) we can't really know exactly what you mean to say, and anything we would write would just be our best guess at what you intended; 2) it's your academic work.

David W. Bearg, PE, an indoor-environmental-quality consultant from Concord, Mass., and author of the book "Indoor Air Quality and HVAC Systems," is the newest member of HPAC Engineering's Editorial Advisory Board.
Bearg's exposure to HVAC dates from childhood. His father was a HVAC design engineer in the days when takeoffs and load calculations were performed manually. In junior high school, the younger Bearg would use discarded blueprints to cover his textbooks. Bearg jokes that his mother's degrees in economics and psychology also influenced him, as, "Ultimately, all building decisions depend on the almighty dollar, and people in buildings can behave as if they were crazy."
Bearg went on to earn a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Northeastern University and a master's degree in environmental health from Harvard School of Public Health. For the last 30 years, he has been dedicated to helping clients achieve healthy and productive indoor environments. Services he provides include carbon-dioxide monitoring, tracer testing, particulate testing, and pressure mapping and airflow-pattern determination.
In addition to his work evaluating mechanically ventilated buildings, Bearg maintains a home, Sage Farm, that has become a research facility dedicated to increasing the energy efficiency of our housing stock while still providing good indoor-air quality. The property includes airlocks, a greenhouse, a sun porch, a sun room, a solar-heated woodworking shop, and a solar-heated cabin.
"One motivation for accepting the invitation to being on the Editorial Advisory Board is that it will allow me to offer suggestions how building operations could both improve the healthfulness of the indoor environment, as well as reduce energy consumption and, thereby, make their operation more sustainable," Bearg said.
HPAC Engineering's Editorial Advisory Board is comprised of 25 distinguished professionals serving the HVACR industry. Possessing expertise in various engineering and scientific fields, they provide valuable assistance to the magazine's editors.

Thanksgiving Day sales seems to have sapped some of the momentum out of Black Friday shopping this year, with local stores seeing relatively sedate crowds early Friday morning.
At the Killingly Commons shopping plaza in Dayville, the parking lots outside several stores were less crowded than a typical Saturday or Sunday. Like many other holiday shoppers, Joy Ware took some time Thursday night to stop in at the Brooklyn Wal-Mart, one of many big box retailers that opened on Thanksgiving Day.
�I didn�t get anything,� Ware, of Brooklyn, said. �It was just too busy and the two things I was looking for were already sold out.�
Ware decided to hit the Killingly Target Friday morning to pick up some wrapping paper and stocking stuffers. There were few lines inside the store and customers walked calmly through the aisles � a marked change from past years.
�I think by stores opening last night it made it quieter today,� she said. �Now I�m off to the Providence Place Mall.�
The situation was similar Friday morning at the Norwichtown Mall, with ample parking available throughout most of the lot.
�I got here an hour ago, and I found it not too crowded at all,� Tonya Gosselin of Norwich said.
Gosselin said she did some Christmas shopping at Big Lots and the Dollar Tree in the mall. �I got good prices on pretty much everything I found.�
She said she normally doesn�t shop on Black Friday. �But I took a chance it wouldn�t be too crowded, and it wasn�t.�
Anna Cintron of Norwich went shopping Friday morning at Wal-Mart in Norwich, hoping to buy a TV set at a greatly reduced price, but they were sold out already, she said.
�I came out for me, and ended up getting for my mother,� Cintron said.
She said Wal-Mart wasn�t especially crowded. �Everybody came out the night before,� she said.
Cintron should know. She said she shopped at Best Buy in Waterford on Thursday night.
Larry Eiden of Oakdale said he was one of more than a dozen people who waited for Staples in Norwich to open at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. He said he bought a $130 laser printer for $30. He returned to Staples on Friday to pick up some more items.
�I�m trying to do my part for the economy,� Eiden said.
The parking lot at Lisbon Landing was jammed at noon, as more shoppers came out later in the day. Lisa Tuper and Ronda Charette, both of Voluntown, were shopping at Kohl�s there and found long lines at the checkout stands.
�The lines are the worst,� Tuper said.
Kohl�s was offering Black Friday coupons good only through 1 p.m., said Teri and Kate Borodetz of Canterbury. They were able to find a number of bargains.
Teri Borodetz said she doesn�t think retailers should open on Thanksgiving but couldn�t resist the deals that were being offered.
�We went last night, but felt bad about it,� she said.
Despite the advantages of a more sedate Black Friday shopping experience, some residents said the day just didn�t feel the same without the usual early bird shoppers. Killingly resident Amy Devolve hit the stores early Friday with her two sisters, continuing a holiday tradition that in past years provided a healthy dose of merriment.
�We usually went out, got a coffee and watched the shoppers have meltdowns,� she said. �It�s not as entertaining this year.�

In my experience as a software engineer, the value of an IBM Redbook in software design, implementation and maintenance can never be overemphasized. I started using Redbooks as reference material in my development projects back in the 90s. Learning and applying techniques and best practices always helped me deliver quality software to my customers on time. Back then I couldn't have imagined I would be part of a Redbook authors team! Time has moved on and I am really happy to share with all of you the link to the updated Migration Manager Redbook. A draft version has been published here and I welcome your reviews and comments.
Migration Manager is a key capability in the Maximo and SmartCloud Control Desk product portfolio. Migration Manager enables the packaging and promotion of key product configurations from development to production environments in a consistent and repeatable manner. Some of you are no doubt practitioners and implementers who are already experienced with Migration Manager functionality. Others might be just starting to learn to use it. Yet others might be evaluating its usage in a product implementation. I hope the information presented and discussed in the updated Redbook will increase your knowledge and comfort with the functionality and help you plan your product impl
In this short video I discuss and summarize these additions and changes to the book. The book has not completed the Redbook editorial process yet. Grammatical inconsistencies and errors will be corrected before the final publ

Certain words and phrases have found their way into contemporary political discussion, showing up so often that they have virtually lost their meaning. I propose that the Obama Administration, by executive order, in an attempt to keep our national discourse clear and civil, mandate alternatives. My humble suggestions for several are below.
This word refers, of course, to the dystopian literature of George Orwell, whose works of fiction painted devastating portraits of life under a totalitarian state. Often, however, the word is used simply as a synonym for any policy or state action the speaker finds generally repugnant.
Example: CBS's Leslie Stahl said when questioning former Clandestine Service head Jose Rodriguez about enhanced interrogation techniques: "So sleep deprivation, dietary manipulation. I mean, this is Orwellian stuff. The United State doesn't do that."
Suggested alternative: Speakers cannot use the word "Orwellian" unless specifically citing a passage or example from an Orwell novel that corresponds to the circumstances mentioned, while also pointing out any contrasting circumstances that keep the usage from being a perfect analogy. If adopted, this rule would have meant Ms. Stahl saying something like this:
"So sleep deprivation, dietary manipulation. I mean, this is Orwellian stuff—in the sense that Winston Smith was tortured in the novel 1984 by O'Brien, except, of course, that O'Brien wasn't trying to extract information from Winston on possible terror plots and suspects but was trying, instead, to simply 'cure' Winston of his 'mental fallacies,' and his success in this torture was achieved when O'Brien held up four fingers and got Winston to declare he was holding up five. The United State doesn't do that."
Notice how this new method enhances Ms. Stahl's final comment – "The United States doesn't do that." No, Leslie, it doesn't.
You have to admit that this new rule for the use of "Orwellian" would be both more interesting and instructive, providing many "teachable moments" for its users and listeners.
A similar technique could be adopted for the overused "McCarthyism" charge that is trotted out whenever politicos think they see overwrought accusations of disloyalty. Instead of citations to the record involving the communist-fighting Sen. Joseph McCarthy, however, I suggest that the word "McCarthyism" merely be followed by the simple statement: "Alger Hiss, however, was truly disloyal and proved as much by history." This will at least serve the purpose of instructing younger college graduates who have spent the past four years in the only remaining Alger-Hiss-supporting enclaves in America – that is, academe.
This phrase is typically used in lieu of an insult during a debate rebuttal to elegantly mask the speaker's disdain. Since random outbursts of "Jane, you ignorant slut" are frowned upon, why not combine insult and elegance by rummaging through the treasure trove of Shakespearean smack talk.
Example: Let's say that President Obama claims, in a debate, that all our economic problems are still George Bush's fault. Instead of Mitt Romney beginning his rebuttal with "With all due respect," he could use these lines from Henry IV:
"You starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish! O for breath to utter what is like thee! You tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile standing-tuck!"
And then, of course, he would go on to make his point: "Barack, the American people are tired of this blame game."
Of course, if he favored brevity, Mr. Romney could always substitute this shorter line from the same play:
"I scorn you, scurvy companion."
Politicians and pundits seem to use these phrases instead of the more truthful: why don't they just chuck all their principles, get on board and agree with me, those scurvy companions?
My suggested alternative for the confusion created by these phrases is to force speakers to merely repeat, precisely as articulated in the amazingly moving video below (an excerpt from the elegant Charlie the Unicorn short here): Shun the nonbelievers, shun!
Just imagine it –Politico A, when saying something like, "We can't seem to get those rapscallions across the aisle to build consensus," would then have to turn to the camera and say, in this dramatic fashion:
There are many more examples, of course, of overused language in the political sphere. Stay tuned for updates throughout campaign season.

There is a lot of noise right now around DSLs (Domain Specific Languages) and the notion that people can easily build new languages that are centered around a specific vocabulary that makes sense for the problem domain. While I think we'll probably be in DSL hell in about 2 years where there thousands of new languages for doing everything and nothing, there is one DSL I would like to propose for Service Composition.
On the Mule project we need a DSL to make Java-based configuration more usable and intuitive. We are about to embark on this part of the project, but it seems to me that we need to stop and think about the bigger picture.
The notion of "service", "component", ''interface", "endpoint", "router", "filter", "policy", etc are common concepts that appear in different flavours in all products targeted for the SOA space. It would seem logical to define a common DSL for constructing services. Using these concepts.
I see two possible ways of defining this DSL –
- Define a set of Java APIs for building services. This would consist of a set of Interfaces, some helper builders, and well-defined extension guidelines. The problem with this is that it is Java-specific; we really want to write services in other languages such as C# and Ruby.
- Define the DSL in pseudo code with clear guidelines of how to implement the DSL interface in any language. The actual DSL interface would still need to be implemented for a specific technology, but no matter what technology or platform I am using the DSL is familiar to me.
My preference would be for #2 as it would be platform agnostic and have a much better chance for adoption but it also has the added benefit that it would create an universally accepted glossary of concepts for constructing SOA. I should point out that SCA has a similar goal but is Xml-centric. SCA seems to a step in the right direction but we're not seeing the mass-adoption yet to make SCA stick. I really think there is room for a DSL here.
I would really like to flesh out this idea since we at Mule could really use it and I think it would benefit the wider community.

1976 Dodge Power Wagon Truggy - SupersizedPosted in Project Vehicles on November 1, 2007
For some people there is no such thing as too much of a good thing. Why have a small-block when you can have a big-block? Why settle for 1-ton axles when you can run 2 1/2-tons? This is the philosophy behind Jeremy Winters' '76 Dodge Power Wagon. From the fuel-injected 440 to the dual transfer cases to the Rockwell axles, everything on this vehicle is overkill.
After adding a hard-core drivetrain, Jeremy went a step further and narrowed the nose of the truck, heavily trimmed the rocker panels, and lopped off the whole frame behind the cab. This made room for exceptional tube work and allows the truck to fit through the narrow slot canyons found near his home of Reno, Nevada. The result has the power to scale dunes, tires to churn through mud, and gearing to crawl through the rocks.

The French Trove "Our collection of seductively French inspired treasures for your home"
We are a husband and wife team, having a deep passion for France and the European lifestyle. Having traveled there several times, we decided to build our future life around our passion. As a luxury home builder we have designed and built beautiful homes. My wife, Slavica is a natural artist who has a very soft demeanor, is beautiful by most anyone's standards and has a personality that lights up the room! She is very artistic and wants to express herself and her style through a very warm, inviting, sexy online website that people feel embodies simple elegance. We want to brand Slavica (her nickname is Sally). The homescreen will have our logo and a very faint silouette of a naked woman. We want people to fall in love with Slavica; both who she is and her style. Again we want this to be a brand about Slavica. We both like the site http://www.labelle-maison.com however want our homepage to have a classy yet sexual feel. Almost a bit of a shy / reserved look... Here is a logo Slavica likes: http://nguyetdesign.com/images/port…french.jpg She likes the idea of a mirror with an elegant frame with initials inside of the frame The French Trove or FT intertwined. A color combination that fits the above description using "linen", "burlap", "white", "black", light "sage" or a light "slate" color (light blue / grey).
We are targeting people who appreciate fine style of home decor and accessories. Women specifically, over the age of 30 years old. People / women that are looking for a "special look" and even more than that, a "feel" of a style. There are many people / women who are looking for a simple life, yet one that is made up of quality of all things (time with friends and family, interior decor, food, etc.) Many people search for "something" that is missing in their life, so we want to capture a look and feel using our logo, tag line and the soft colors - and verbiage we will add about Slavica, her site and her style - that makes people feel as if Sally understands them and has a style / experiences that people are searching for. We want the site to reflect her style yet also be inviting and affordable. We do not want something that is too fancy, intimidating or snobbish. Our audience is more of the middle and upper middle classes. The site and logo we mention before may be too "snobbish". We want to appeal to the majority of the people and is "down to earth". Two other sites that have a nice look and feel are http://www.blancdivoire.nl and http://www.cotebastide.com
We are looking for a logo that also creates a brand, with the brand being Slavica and her style. The name is The French Trove. The word trove means a collection of objects.. Our tagline is "Our collection of seductively French inspired treasures for your home". Her site will represent products that fit her style and may add a bit of romance to peoples lives and homes.
We do not want something too fancy or seems snobbish. At the same time we don't want something that is too simple and is underwhelming. Something that resonates / represents an artistic woman with fine style, a bit of sexiness and simple elegence. We want people to feel and think this is what is missing in their life and want to be a part of it.
No cartoons or anything "goofy".
The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy. Want to capture a warm, inviting and overall sexy feel with simple elegence.
If you look at this website http://www.indulgedecor.com and read about the business owner, we want to have our wording OPPOSITE. In our opinion she uses words to describe herself and her site that are "snobbish" and could actually turn people off. We want to achieve a warm feel accepting of all who appreciate fine style and decor.
We do not know the file type we need - it needs to be able to be shared with the people who will create the website and other items such as business cards.
***The font for "The French Trove" should be cursive, as if by hand. example is http://www.cotebastide.com (love their products and style and colors). also see http://www.trouvehome.com
****UPDATED INFO***think as if this site will be selling very sexy, yet classy, french lingerie. I think this will help inspire the design we are looking for!

LADWP meeting stringent drinking water quality standards
LADWP is ensuring that the people of Los Angeles receive safe drinking water in line with state and federal water quality standards, according to a report now being mailed to customers.
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 24, 2001 — The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is ensuring that the people of Los Angeles receive safe drinking water in line with state and federal water quality standards, according to a report now being mailed to customers.
The LADWP's 11th annual Water Quality Report assesses water safety for each of the four geographic regions served by LADWP, and chronicles the agency's progress in improving and expanding water treatment and testing programs to meet increasing stringent water quality guidelines set by the California Department of Health Services and the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
The annual report is being mailed directly to all LADWP customers — about 1.4 million in all — with distribution scheduled to be complete by Nov. 16.
"The LADWP consistently provides high-quality, low-cost water to a city of 3.8 million people — and we're taking additional steps to keep it that way, especially at a time of heightened public concern in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks," said Gerald Gewe, LADWP's assistant general manager for water services.
"This report provides our customers with factual information about how we are using new technologies to continue to provide water that meets, or is superior to, enforceable public health standards," Gewe said.
As it does each year, LADWP routinely monitors its water supply for more than 170 contaminants, of which 110 have enforceable standards. In 2000, only 45 of the 170 contaminants were detected in the city's water supply. All were at levels far below enforceable drinking water standards, including safety levels for arsenic, chromium, lead, copper and more.
"The LADWP has made a significant capital investment in our water system, and we're very pleased to see this investment reflected in the high quality of our water," said Kenneth T. Lombard, president of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, which oversees LADWP.
A number of capital improvement projects are helping to improve reliability and safeguard water. Over the next 10 years, LADWP will invest more than $2 billion on these improvements, with $500,000 dedicated to improving water quality.
Replacement of main pipes, meters and service lines will be included in these infrastructure upgrades. Aging facilities such as pumping and chlorination stations will be upgraded or replaced.
As part of LADWP's effort to increase public awareness about water safety and conservation, the 1999 report included a mail back form seeking questions from customers. The 2000 report was developed with information gathered from this informal customer survey.
"We are always looking for ways to establish conversations with our customers about our water services, and this report includes many of the most frequently asked customer questions and responses from our water experts," Gewe said.
The Water Quality Report is required by the California Department of Health Services and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency to provide information about drinking water. Copies of the 2000 Water Quality Report are available in English and Spanish by calling the Water Quality Office at 213/367-3182. The reports are also available on LADWP's Web site: www.ladwp.com.
"The public is interested in more information about drinking water quality, and we're pleased to distribute this report throughout the city so our customers — the people of Los Angeles — have access to the best and most current information about the water they drink," Gewe said.
LADWP serves more than 3.8 million people in Los Angeles and was established almost 100 years ago to provide water and electric needs to the city's businesses and residents. For more information, call 1-800-DIAL-DWP, or log on to www.ladwp.com.

Indiana state agencies would have more power to suspend the licenses of businesses caught selling synthetic drugs known as "bath salts" and other nicknames under proposals moving through the Legislature.
State senators on Tuesday approved a bill that would also make it illegal to possess or deal "lookalike" synthetic drugs. The current law only prohibits drugs with specific chemical makeups.
The bill would require the state to suspend the business license for a year of any retailer caught selling synthetic drugs or lookalikes. Other provisions would expand the ability of prosecutors to file charges against those driving under the influence of synthetic drugs.
The Senate bill now goes to the House, which has been working on a similar proposal.

Meeting of the Membership
Membership Forums and Meetings are one important way that you can affect what ALA does. You can express your views at the Forum and at the meeting you can vote on resolutions to send to Council.
Saturday, June 23, 3:30-5:00 pm
ALA Membership Forum and Meeting I, Convention Center, Ballroom A
Should ALA Take a Stand on the War in Iraq and other "non-library" issues?
What is a "non-library" issue anyway? Should ALA take a stand on the war in Iraq, the minimum wage, or equal rights for women? On one hand, some people say we don't have enough time to consider fully issues like the closing of libraries and library staff wages. On the other hand, ALA has taken a stand on "non-library" issues like civil rights for decades, and these issues affect us and our families and co-workers. Where do we draw the line?
Forum Speakers: "pro" - Michael Gorman, Immediate Past President; "con" - Steve Matthews, Councilor
Monday, June 25, 11:30am-1pm
ALA Membership Forum and Meeting II, Convention Center, Ballroom A

ALA Membership Meetings and How They Work
What is an ALA Membership Meeting?
ALA Membership Meetings are an opportunity for ALA members to make things happen in the American Library Association. ALA members can bring issues important to libraries and librarianship to the floor and decide how they might be addressed within ALA.
When are ALA Membership Meetings held?
A Membership Meeting is held during the first two days of the Annual Conference and at other times that may be set by the ALA Executive Board, ALA Council, or by membership petition as provided for in ALA Bylaw Article II, Section 2.
Who may attend ALA Membership Meetings?
All ALA personal members.
How is the agenda for the meetings set?
The Committee on Membership Meetings is charged with planning the agenda for the membership meetings as specified in ALA Policy 7.4.10.
Over the past few years, the Committee on Membership Meetings has developed suggested agendas, which include some "hot" discussion topics to draw ALA members to the meetings.
The ALA members present at the meeting can change the proposed agendas at any time. Any discussion topics suggested by the committee, or others, are given second place to resolutions proposed by the ALA members.
Who makes membership resolutions?
YOU--ALA personal members.
The resolution can be on any topic or issue that falls within the resolution guidelines (see reverse side of this page). It is important to remember that the Council Resolutions Committee must review all membership resolutions. Resolutions can be easily submitted well in advance of the ALA Annual Conference by sending them by Monika J. Antonelli, chair, email@example.com. The Council Committee on Resolutions will staff a table (#15) in the ALA Office Area at the Washington Convention Center: Sat., 6/23, 11am-1:00pm; Sun, 6/24, 1-3pm; Mon., 6/25, 2-4pm; and Tues, 6/26, 2-3pm.
All resolutions approved by the membership are presented at the next ALA Council meeting. "The presiding officer of Council calls for Council's guidance on the disposition of each membership item in turn." (ALA Policy 7.4.10)
A final thought
This meeting is YOUR meeting. Members control the content of all membership meetings. Any member may speak on any topic by standing at a microphone. When the microphone number is called, you state your name, then say "ALA Personal Member" and speak to the topic on the floor. There is a bit of formality about this process, but it doesn't take more than a few minutes of observation to understand how things work.
Guidelines and Resources
Guidlines for submitting Resolutions during the Membership Meetings are available in the ALA Handbook of Organizations. A quick reference guide to resolutions is also available.
ALA Constitution, Article IV, Section 4 (a,b,c)
ALA Bylaws, Article II, Section 4

In the Hudson Valley, fascinating entrepreneurs abound. As a business adviser with the Small Business Development Center, I meet people with exciting ideas regularly. I sat down recently with Carine Elen, founder of Hybrid Revolution Gear, to explore the process of bringing a new invention to market.
In the Hudson Valley, fascinating entrepreneurs abound. As a business adviser with the Small Business Development Center, I meet people with exciting ideas regularly. I sat down recently with Carine Elen, founder of Hybrid Revolution Gear, to explore the process of bringing a new invention to market.
Elen is a native of Belgium who has lived in the United States for nearly 30 years. The invention process always fascinated her. In 2005, she was struck by an idea.
"While lugging my family's coats under the herd of elephants at the Museum of Natural History in New York, I began to ponder a practical way for the kids to carry their own coats. The light bulb for Xip3 went on!" Elen recalled.
Xip3 (pronounced "zip three") is a triple-function jacket that converts easily into a backpack or pillow.
After conducting some research, Elen realized that she could probably get a patent, and she went to work on commercializing her idea. Here are the steps she went through:
Researched how Xip3 differed from other products and its market potential (not just for kids!) Raised private funds to ensure that the project was sufficiently capitalized Filed a utility patent application (five years later, her patent was issued through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) Worked with carefully selected manufacturing partners through three rounds of prototyping to produce sales samples and initial production runs Launched Xip3 at a major outdoor trade show, with a simultaneous publicity campaign that included a feature in the magazine Popular Science and numerous online reviews.
Initial customers bought Xip3 jackets through the company website. Following the successful launch of Xip3, the company is working on global distribution through licensing agreements with established brands. Xip3 is the company's flagship product. The company has a variety of other consumer and medical products in various stages of development.
Elen is also working with other inventors to guide them through the development process. I asked Elen if she had any advice for aspiring inventor-entrepreneurs, and she said, "It's a clich� to any inventor out there, but unless you are independently wealthy or your product idea is well-financed, don't quit your day job until your product starts producing income."
If you have new product ideas and want to learn more about starting a business, the SBDC provides confidential, no-cost business counseling services. Your business adviser can help you develop your ideas and guide you through the steps of building a business.

When I first started cooking with quinoa in 2008, I was living in Beijing and needed a change from the noodles and rice that I was eating every day. Quinoa had just started to be widely covered in magazines and food blogs, but wasn't virtually impossible to find in Beijing.
I finally found organic quinoa at a supermarket for expats from a company called Green Dot Dot based in Hong Kong. Quinoa's appearance and fluffy texture reminded me of couscous, but the ease of cooking made it as convenient as rice. Having read that it was a good source for lysine, magnesium, and iron, I decided to make a prepare it for lunch one day, with some black beans, shallots, toasted cumin, and cherry tomatoes. The combination somehow stuck, and with minor tweaks, I began making it regularly for lunch.
Flash forward to 2013 in New York, and I'm still making this exact quinoa dish as a g0-to easy lunch. There's an interesting textural mix of slightly crunchy quinoa, soft black beans, and juicy cherry tomatoes, punctuated by the alluring scent of lightly cooked shallots with cumin. It's gently spiced but flavorful, light but filling, exactly what I need in the middle of the day with an afternoon of work still ahead.
The recipe works for red quinoa as well as regular quinoa. And now I can just pick up my quinoa at Trader Joe's a short subway ride away, instead of searching all over Beijing.
Black Bean Quinoa Salad with Cherry Tomatoes
Serves 4
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 (15 or 16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons salt plus more to taste
- A small handful of chopped mint (optional)
- In a pot or rice cooker, cover the quinoa with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked through.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cumin and cayenne pepper and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring.
- Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl. Add the cooked shallots, drained black beans, cherry tomatoes, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt and pepper if you'd like. Garnish with mint (optional). The quinoa can be served warm or at room temperature.

Slurpees were a favorite pass time when I was a little girl. Summertime, movies and slurpees. Then in college they were the perfect beverage to add vodka to. ;) Yeah, I know, terrible.
Anyways, they really are just sugar, ice and unhealthy dyes. There is not ONE vitamin, mineral, enzyme, or ounce of hydration. Talk about negative calories.
So, at home, we came up with the best natural version for your whole family to enjoy. Everyone from the picky kid to the parent with gourmet taste buds will approve.
Please note that the amount of agave nectar is up to your family and your taste buds. It totally depends. If you like the fruit flavors, use less. If you like the traditional SLURPEE flavors {sugary} use MORE. So, I left the agave amounts up to you.
Also, please note, you can also use XYLITOL or RAW HONEY in place of agave nectar.
Go ahead, try it at home. And give me some feedback.
2 frozen bananas
10 ice cubes
1/4 c water
3 Tbls - 1/4c agave nectar - depends on your sweetness needs and ripeness of fruit
Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth like a slurpee.
Top with cacao powder, nutmeg powder & cacao nibs or NOTHING. My kids like it with nothing, of course.
2 c fresh pineapple
10 ice cubes
4 Tbls agave nectar - might want to add more, depends on your sweetness needs and ripeness of fruit
Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth like a slurpee.
note: add some fresh coconut for a pina colada taste. And even some rum, if you are feeling spicy.
{this is Wes' recipe, he does a great job at doing these}
1/4 large watermelon
8 cubes of ice
3 Tbls agave nectar
5 sprigs mint {this in not optional - it's amazing}
Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth like a slurpee.
note: top with mint sprigs.
1/4 almonds and/or brazil nuts
8 cubes of ice
5 Tbls agave nectar
1 vanilla bean
1 tsp almond extract
Combine all ingredients EXCEPT ICE in a blender until smooth. Strain with a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer. Then use the milk and combine again in blender with ice. Add more agave if need be.
2 oranges, peeled
1 lime, juiced & then skin zested
8 ice cubes or more
4 Tbls agave nectar or more
Combine all ingredients, excpet lime zest, in a blender until smooth like a slurpee. Add most of zest and blend again, on low until combined.
note: use the rest of the lime zest to spinkle on top. The zest is optional but adds a little biterness for the adults. Kids probably won't like it.

Stem cells and cancer: Scientists investigate a fine balancing act
Speaking today at the UK National Stem Cell Network Annual Science Meeting in Edinburgh, Professor Silvia Marino shows how the mechanisms normally involved in balancing different functions of stem cells may also contribute to cancer. Her team from Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry is currently delving into these mechanisms to understand how stem cells are normally regulated and what role they may play in malignant brain tumours.
This work has been funded by Cancer Research UK, Oncosuisse, Barts and the London Charity, Ali's Dream and Charlie's Challenge.
Professor Marino said: "Stem cells are present in the adult brain where they normally play a role in repair and regeneration. We want to know whether brain cancer can originate from problems in the regulation of these cells. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly clear that tumours maintain themselves with mechanisms similar to the ones used by stem cells. We want to understand whether differences can be identified between normal stem cells and cancer stem cells. If this is the case, new drugs can be developed to specifically kill the cells maintaining and propagating the tumour without harming normal stem cells."
In the body it is vital that a balance is struck between maintaining numbers of stem cells with making new stem cell derived tissues. This is important in embryonic development and also in preserving healthy adult tissues. If the balance is wrong then disease can arise. Cancer can result from stem cells dividing too much, leading to an excess of new cells. But if stem cells do not divide to replenish the stocks for renewal and repair then the result can be ageing and possibly degenerative diseases.
Professor Marino's group works to identify the mechanisms involved in maintaining this balance and assess whether similar mechanisms can possibly contribute to the formation and maintenance of malignant brain tumours. For example, research to date shows that a gene called Bmi1 is important for maintaining stocks of stem cells and without it the stocks of stem cells are depleted. And importantly this gene is overactive in various cancers including brain tumours.

Will Rudy Fernandez and Patrick Mills' Portland 'Bromance' survive trade deadline?
"Your agent," I said to Fernandez as I asked him about the news, "is poco loco, no?"
Fernandez laughed and said, "Yes, he can be. Thank you for asking me." Then, he explained, "I want to be here. I'm having fun. I bought a home. I bought a car. I don't know what else I can do to prove I want to be here.
"I'm playing now, too." Mills leaned in and said: "I think he should leave." They cracked up, laughing, together. Fernandez wants to stay. He's happy. Which likely means he'll promptly be traded. Sports can be cruel like that. But as long as he's around, it's probably worth pointing out that Mills feels like the biggest reason Fernandez is finally comfortable again.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: It's a blossoming 'bromance' (a bromance is a plutonic friendship between grown men).
Word is controversial Portland Trail Blazer Rudy Fernandez is now happy in Rip City, in large part, because of his friendship with reserve guard Patrick Mills.
These two hang at home in Portland. These two hang on the road. These two are tight.
In fact, the Fernandez-Mills 'Bromance' is apparently the main reason the Spanish swing has rescinded his trade demand and settled in Portland.
But the Trail Blazers are in transition. Franchise face Brandon Roy is having surgery on both knees and may never be the same player. Former first overall pick Greg Oden hasn't played a game and his future is unknown.
The Trail Blazers, even with the injuries, could still secure the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. However, management may decide to rebuild and deal veterans Marcus Camby, Andre Miller, and Joel Pryzbilla at the trade deadline.
Fernandez could be part of the changes. Sure, he's a strong shooter and exciting open court player. He's also prone to extreme mood swings, and GM Richie Cho may feel it's time to cut ties.
The Fernandez-Mills 'bromance' would then become a long-distance relationship.
–Oly Sandor.

Anthony Henderson wins Australian Mathematical Society Medal
25 September 2012
Associate Professor Anthony Henderson, from the School of Mathematics and Statistics, has won the 2012 Australian Mathematical Society Medal, presented to him on 24 September 2012.
He received his medal at the opening ceremony of the Annual Meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society held at the University of Ballarat in Victoria.
The Australian Mathematical Society Medal is awarded annually to a mathematician under the age of 40 years for their distinguished research in the mathematical sciences, who has carried out most of their work in Australia and is a member of the Australian Mathematical Society.
"I'm very pleased to have won the Australian Mathematical Society Medal. Winning this medal has been one of my main career aspirations, as it is for lots of young Australian mathematicians," said Associate Professor Henderson.
"It puts me in scary company, because many of the previous recipients are now at the forefront of Australian mathematics and its international reputation, including the biggest name of all - Fields Medalist, Terence Tao," said Associate Professor Henderson.
"I'm particularly happy to join two of my University of Sydney colleagues in this club, Professor Alex Molev who won in 2001 and Professor Andrew Mathas who won in 2006."
The award comes with a citation supplied by the chair of the selection committee, Professor Ole Warnaar, from the University of Queensland, with an abbreviated version printed on the certificate indicating that Associate Professor Henderson won the award for:
'Anthony Henderson is known for his deep and highly original work in representation theory. He has successfully combined methods at the crossroads of algebraic geometry, combinatorics and representation theory to solve a number of important problems in the field. Of particular significance is his joint work with Pramod Achar, in which they introduced the enhanced nil cone. This has led to a purely geometric interpretation of Shoji's generalised Kostka polynomials for the hyperoctahedral group.'
Associate Professor Henderson works on geometric and combinatorial aspects of representation theory.
"When we talk about a 'group' in mathematics, we mean a collection of operations which preserve something. For example, in chemistry, if you have a molecule which has some symmetry, then there are rotations and reflections and so on which leave the molecule unchanged, and those form a group. These groups come with a kind of multiplication, because you can do one operation and then a second one, and that whole process is a third operation in the group," said Associate Professor Henderson.
"My research is in representation theory, which studies how to represent one of these abstract groups of operations by a concrete collection of matrices of numbers, so that the multiplication is just the standard multiplication of matrices. These representations are very useful for calculations relating to the original molecule or other original function; they're also needed to describe the states of various particles in quantum physics. But it can be hard to find representations, and there are some basic classes of groups where we still don't know them all after more than a hundred years of searching," explained Associate Professor Henderson.
"My main contribution has been describing new representations of old groups, using homology to get a representation of the original group. This idea goes back decades, but what I've done is to find various new ways to make it work," said Associate Professor Henderson.
Associate Professor Henderson has been a member of the Australian Mathematical Society for eleven years, since the time he graduated with his PhD from MIT, in the US, and started working at the University of Sydney. He completed his Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Pure Mathematics at the University of Sydney, for which he won the University Medal.
The Australian Mathematical Society Medal was first presented in 1981. This year there were two recipients: the other was Dr Stephen Keith, who works for the Macquarie Group.

Let it be known that as enjoyable as it was to substitute "edit" Deadspin the day after all hell broke loose on HBO, it is not without its drawbacks. Like, for example, I have no idea what happened in any actual sports news today. But I do appreciate the tips, the opinions, the mash-ups, the well-wishes, and the Buzz Bissinger Wikipedia entries that have been flooding the inbox all day.
Tomorrow, barring any unforseen fist fights that may break out on the Best Damn Sports Show-thingee this evening, order will be restored to its rightful, garbage-picking place.
Be well, anonymous bully commenters. Enjoy the fame.

When grocery shopping this past week, Aaron & I came across some new yogurt products made by Yoplait. I have always been a fan because Yoplait won't hide gluten in their ingredient list. That makes my life a little easier. However, in the past 6 months or so, they have actually been labeling their GF stuff, "Gluten-Free"!! YAY Yoplait! THANK YOU! We had some coupons and the yogurt was on sale, so super cheap!
I was very impressed by this yogurt. Flavor is great. I have only tried the vanilla, but Aaron has been eating the blueberry acai and we also bought the strawberry and the blackberry pomegranate. There are several bonuses to this yogurt in addition to the fact that it is gluten-free. 1. There is no HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) in this product as opposed to some of the other Yoplait yogurts. 2. There are 3 grams of fiber per serving. 3. There are NO artificial sweeteners like Splenda or aspartame used (these can cause stomach upset in a lot of people). 4. There are only 110 calories & 1.5 grams of fat per cup. 5. There are probiotic cultures in yogurt.
A definite THUMBS UP from me!!

Singapore Company Fined for Illegal Scrapping Attempt
A Singapore company has paid a NOK 7 million ($763,000) fine after it was caught trying to illegally export a barge carrier vessel from Norway for scrapping on the beaches in Pakistan, Norwegian authorities said.In 2017, inspectors from the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) detained the Harrier, previously named Tide Carrier, when it suffered an engine failure and started to drift outside Jæren in Rogaland. Wirana Shipping Corporation, a company which buys discarded ships and sells them to scrap yards at beaches in India and Pakistan, was the commercial manager for the voyage and in charge of the ship's route, the purpose of the voyage and its execution.
Tankers Defer Retrofits to Cash in on Record Freight Rates
Tankers that had been scheduled to install emissions-cutting equipment ahead of stricter pollution standards starting in 2020 have deferred their visits to the dry docks to capitalize on an unexpected surge in freight rates, three trade sources said.U.S. sanctions on subsidiaries of vast Chinese shipping fleet Cosco in September sparked a surge in global oil shipping rates as traders scrambled to find non-blacklisted vessels to get their oil to market.The rates for chartering a supertanker from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Singapore hit record highs of more than $17 million and a record $22 million to China earlier this week.By comparison, prior to the sanctions, shipping crude from the U.S.

INDIANAPOLIS – Low or moderate exercise and healthy eating habits markedly decrease the likelihood of excessive gestational weight gain, according to research published in the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. This study, in the August edition of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise®, demonstrates that a prenatal Nutrition and Exercise Lifestyle Intervention Program, called the NELIP, was successful in preventing excessive gestational weight gain and reducing postpartum weight retention in women who were of normal weight prior to pregnancy.
The authors randomly assigned 49 pregnant women at 16-20 weeks gestation in two groups. One participated in a low-intensity walking program and the other in a moderate-intensity walking program. Both also followed a meal plan based on nutrition guidelines given to gestational diabetic women set by the researchers. Compared to a group of women who did not participate in any lifestyle intervention during pregnancy (control group), both groups participating in NELIP had lower average gestational weight gain and were less likely to gain excessive weight.
Although the prevention of excessive gestational weight gain did not influence infant birth weight (babies born to women in the intervention and control groups had similar birth weight), it may reduce the long-term risk for obesity in the infants. Pregnancy is an important period in determining offspring health later in life (fetal origins of disease) and the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits during pregnancy and the prevention of excessive gestational weight gain may consequently have a positive impact on their long-term health.

During the Intervention*
Low-intensity exercise
Moderate-intensity exercise
Control group (no exercise)
*Based on guidelines established in 2009 by the Institute of Medicine
"Women benefit greatly from being active throughout their pregnancies and physical activity is strongly recommended by professional organizations. However, most pregnant women remain inactive and this may be contributing to excessive gestational weight gain, which is associated with an increased risk for future obesity in both the mother and offspring," said lead author Stephanie-May Ruchat, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Western Ontario. "Myths about nutrition in pregnancy can also be misleading. For example, mothers-to-be should be warned that 'eating for two' does not mean they need to eat twice as much but that they should eat twice as healthy. An increase of only 200 to 500 kilocalories per day in the second and third trimester is recommended, depending on the body mass index of the women prior to pregnancy (the heavier the woman is, the fewer extra calories per day she will need during pregnancy)."
The study also followed up with the participants post-partum. Within two months of delivery, 28 percent of women in the moderate-intensity exercise group were within 2.0 kg (approximately 4.4 lbs) of their pre-pregnancy weight, compared to only seven percent of the control group, suggesting that NELIP was successful at decreasing weight retention in early postpartum.
This study highlighted the importance of being active and eating healthy during pregnancy to prevent excessive gestational weight gain and weight retention. Further, it showed that increasing the intensity of exercise did not influence weight gain, suggesting that participating in a low- or moderate- intensity walking program, combined with healthy eating habits, is an important component of a healthy pregnancy.

When your city faces a budget crisis, it's nice to have Google in your back pocket.
The territorial home of Google is getting $30 million from the tech giant. The Wall Street Journal reports that Google will pay the city an upfront fee for a 52-year lease on 9.4 acres of land.
Google will use the land, which the city has been eying for a hotel, to build a new office complex.
The investment comes as Mountain View tries to cose a $2 million budget gap. But Google's money won't necessarily go to close that hole.
How the money will be spent or invested is still being debated by city council members.

Plane spotters seek 'Wayne's World' thrills
By Thom Patterson, CNN • Updated 29th June 2012
View Gallery
7 Pictures
Plane spotters sometimes talk about grabbing a "Wayne's World" moment.
If you've seen the 1992 movie, you may remember when Mike Myers as Wayne and Dana Carvey as Garth are parked near an airport runway. They're reclining on the hood of a funky AMC Pacer, discussing "Babe-raham Lincoln," when suddenly a huge airliner swoops by just a few feet overhead.
That's when they begin
screaming above the airplane's deafening roar
Phil Derner admits it. "I've done that. There are so many times when I just want to ... lay down near the approach lights and watch the planes go overhead and just take it in."
He's talking about plane spotting. Beginning around the mid-20th century, countless plane spotters have been trotting the globe to view and photograph the world's most impressive aircraft.
"Some people like cars," said Derner. "But we like something that's bigger and faster, and it freaking flies."
Derner, who created the plane spotting site
in 2003, said the hobby is growing more popular as more people are lured in by the magic of flying machines.
Think about it, said Derner, "Something that weighs up to a million pounds is taking to the air, and you know the next time it comes down is going to be on the other side of the world. I think that's fascinating."
"It's a passion that keeps me sane," said Chicago-based spotter Kevin Koske.
Read this plane spotting how-to.
Intrigued? We've listed some tips and suggested vantage points below. But first, let's talk about what's arguably the most famous plane spotting destination on the planet: Maho Beach on the tiny Caribbean island of St. Maarten.
You may have seen Maho in unbelievable interweb photos showing giant airliners flying just a few dozen feet above the beach.
These photos went viral years ago, and no, they aren't Photoshopped. They're real.
"If you like airplanes, Maho is like the cherry on top" of a beautiful beach vacation, said Justin Schlechter, a 747 pilot who's visited Maho several times. For Koske, Maho is the "mecca of airplane spotting."
The beach sits at one end of a short runway at Princess Juliana International Airport.
The short runway forces approaching planes to come in low, about 30 to 50 feet over the beach.
Larger planes need to touchdown as close as possible to the end of the runway because they need as much runway as they can get.
As a result, plane spotters get one of the world's closest public views of giant airliners as they take off and land.
"It's a lot closer than you can get at a typical airport, in the States especially," said Schlechter.
Read more about Schlechter's trips to Maho.
There's a bar on the beach,
the Sunset Bar & Grill
, where customers cheer with each flyover. "They go crazy," said Dianne Carbon, an employee there.
"People literally try to see if they can touch the planes," she said. "In our office, when they're taking off or coming in, it's almost like it was an earthquake."
But paradise for plane spotters also has its dangers.
When airliners prepare for take off and rev their engines, daredevils will stand against the airport fence and hold on. The jet blast is powerful enough to throw people off the fence and onto the ground.
Spotters say their hobby is more than a celebration of aviation. It's about fully recognizing the majesty of machines that give us the super power to defy gravity.
And, perhaps surprisingly, it's also about camaraderie.
Yes, that is correct. Plane spotting at popular vantage points comes with a social bonus. "When you have a group of 20 people with a lot of different personalities and people from all walks of life, it's a very diverse group, and we have a great time," said Derner.
Some plane spotters will even hook up on occasion, Derner said, because obviously there's nothing more romantic than a roaring Airbus A380 blotting out the moon and lighting up the night sky.
Derner said he met his girlfirend, his "Babe-raham Lincoln" if you will, a year and a half ago when she responded to his tweets about plane spotting. Oh yeah, and she's a pilot.
who's a Chicago radio host when he's not chasing aircraft
, made a long anticipated journey to Los Angeles last September to visit Imperial Hill, the primo vantage point for spotters at LAX. "To finally go out there and spend four days spotting, sun up to sun down, was just great."
What's on his bucket list? Amsterdam, a spotter-friendly airport with aircraft rarely seen in the United States.
Excellent, as Wayne might say.
You told us: Top 5 spots for plane geeks
As promised, here are a few plane spotting tips shared by Derner, Koske and
aviation enthusiast Rob Mark at Jetwhine.com
1. In general, stay off airport grounds. Airport security for obvious reasons can be very sensitive about curious strangers wandering the property with expensive photo gear. Worst case: you could be arrested and your equipment could be confiscated. Best case: you could be politely asked to leave. Some airports such as Amsterdam and Frankfurt offer public observation areas.
2. "Always carry ID and wear a smile," said Derner. Police patrolling areas around the airport may question you. Most of the time, they're OK with plane spotting activities. But sometimes they're not. Rule of thumb: be nice.
3. Some of the best spots are located in parking lots of private businesses. If asked by an employee, you must leave.
Where planes go to die
This isn't a ranking list or obviously a comprehensive list, but here are a few good plane spotting sites:
1. Eagle County Airport, Colorado: The Costco parking lot at 170 Cooley Mesa Road, Gypsum, Colorado
2. O'Hare International Airport, Chicago: southeast of the airport at the USG Building parking lot near Mannheim Road and Lawrence Avenue
3. LaGuardia Airport, New York:
Landing Lights Park
, south of the airport off 25th Avenue between 78th and 79th streets; Planeview Park south of the airport on 23rd Avenue next to Vaughn College
John F. Kennedy International Airport
, New York: southeast of the airport in the parking lot near Bay Boulevard and Rockaway Turnpike
5. Los Angeles International Airport: Imperial Hill, south of the airport near Imperial Avenue and Sheldon Street; In-n-Out Burger, northeast of the airport near West 92nd Street and South Sepulveda Boulevard
Manchester Airport, England:
south of the airport off Altrincham Road,
according to plane-mad.com
7. Frankfurt, Germany, airport observation deck: Terminal 2, Concourse E next to McDonald's
Amsterdam Schiphol airport Panorama Terrace
: between Arrival Halls 1 and 2 and via Arrival Hall 3
9. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport: Gravelly Point Park, Arlington, Virginia, north of the airport off George Washington Memorial Parkway
The place where dead airplanes come back to life
One more thing: if you find yourself booking airline day trips to spot planes in nearby cities, well, clearly you're hooked.
Derner admits to hopping flights from New York to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport's unique gawking spot built on a landfill. It's called Gravelly Point Park.
Watch a cool YouTube video.
What's so special? Planes zoom as low as 100 feet above your head as they aim for the runway about 400 feet from the park. Aside from its amazing proximity to the aircraft, Gravelly Point rocks because it's within walking distance of the airport terminal.
"You don't have to rent a car," said Derner. "Just walk over, watch planes and then just fly home."
One final tip for newby plane spotters, and it's a direct quote from that scene in "Wayne's World:" Like Wayne says as the airliner passes overhead, "Keep looking up!"
These people really love to fly
