Here's a cute idea courtesy The YA YA YAS, a trio of Young Adult librarians in Hawaii. For March, Gayle made a green-themed display, with books on money, veggies, the environment, and other subjects associated with the color green.
Does it work for other colors?
Blue: blues music, depression, the tropics, the moon
Yellow: the sun? cowardice? bananas? Ok, it doesn't work for yellow.
Red: Communism, Chinese history, Russian history, the Red Baron, apples, various sports teams, anger, volcanoes, fire
Orange: Florida, citrus fruits… doesn't really work for orange either.
Purple: royalty, grapes, wine, mountains

Whenever an author speaks in our area, we notice an increase in queries about that person. Wouldn't it be great to know ahead of time when someone like Michael Chabon or Lisa See was going to be in town? Then we could merchandize that author's books, along with similar works by other authors.
Now you can, with the online database BookTour. Started by Chris Anderson, author of The Long Tail, BookTour magically ascertains your location and tells you which authors are planning a visit, as well as letting you browse the schedule of your favorite author or your favorite venue. You can get updates via email, on your calendar – you can even zoom around the world and through time to find your favorite authors, using BookTour's GoogleEarth interface.
LibraryThing Local offers similar listings, though it is more venue-centric than author-centric. Between the two of these tools, it's a lot easier nowadays to keep abreast of local literary happenings.
"Super" kids program idea February 20, 2008Posted by sneaks in great ideas, J is for Juvenile.

From American Libraries Direct:
CHICAGO – The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), has awarded children's librarian Lisa M. Shaia with the 2008 ALSC/Tandem Library Books Literature Program Grant for her program "Superhero Club" at the Bristol Public Library.
Shaia's program, Superhero Club, encouraged children to use their imagination by creating a superhero alter-ego, complete with a costume, accessories, superpowers and a sidekick. Each club member then drew a comic book starring his superhero and at the end of the session, used their superhero powers to compete against supervillains in an obstacle course.
The program, which ran for five weeks in the spring and then eight weeks in the summer, introduced club members to the superhero genre and encouraged them to read from the library's growing graphic novel collection. It is Shaia's hope that introducing young readers to pleasure reading, such as comic books and graphic novels, will keep them interested in reading through their 'tween and teen years and into adulthood.
"I believe this program is so successful because the superhero genre transcends age, race, sex and children's interests," said Shaia. "The club provides children with a way to use their imagination that they don't get a chance to do any other way. Instead of watching a television show or playing a video game, they can create a persona and lose themselves in their own story."

The Library of Congress has placed 3000 images from its renowned photo archive on Flickr, the photo sharing web site. These images come complete with attribution, title, date, medium and format, rights info, call number, and LC subject headings.
Wow. The collection currently features news archive photos, images of rural life from the Farm Security Administration, and photos of WWII mobilization such as the one featured above.
LC invites comment and tagging by Flickr users, making this an interesting experiment in folksonomies as well as a valuable educational resource.
Now, in addition to pointing kids to the non-fiction books they need for their history reports, we can show them how to find appropriate pictures on Flickr.

Gail Ross of Arbutus reports this terrific idea, recently put in use at her branch:
"We installed a clear plexiglass box with a lid outside, next to our book drop. (It's the kind of box realtors to hold flyers for outside a house that's for sale.) Diana Deskins, who handles our Public Pickup, has been keeping it filled with the Calendar of Events and special event flyers. Refills have been needed, an indication that the public has been taking these promotional materials."

Here's a super-quick way to draw attention to an author on his/her birthday – just plop a fancy birthday hat on the shelf or display! It will surely draw attention to the author's books and throw a little unexpected fun into browsing the children's section.

Stick to reading! December 6, 2007Posted by sneaks in great ideas, J is for Juvenile, winter.

Here's a simple, low-cost idea that encourages kids to read for fun through the winter. The rules of "Winter Reading Club" are simple. Kids sign up, and then each time they visit the library, they get a sticker for each book read. They can then decorate a mural-sized poster with their stickers.
Your mural could be a snowy scene with snowflake stickers; a big Christmas tree and ornament stickers; fish stickers and an undersea scene; or bird stickers in a winter landscape. How much creativity you want to put into the mural is up to you!
Materials required:
- a big sheet of roll paper
- a couple rolls of stickers
- sign-up sheet
The best source for roll stickers that we've found is our old friend the Oriental Trading Company, although we love the Hawaiian shirt stickers you can get from Toy Connection.

From To Read or Not To Read (Research Report #47), courtesy of the National Endowment for the Arts
The National Endowment for the Arts yesterday announced the release of To Read or Not To Read: A Question of National Consequence…
"…a new and comprehensive analysis of reading patterns in the United States. To Read or Not To Read gathers statistics from more than 40 studies on the reading habits and skills of children, teenagers, and adults. The compendium reveals recent declines in voluntary reading and test scores alike, exposing trends that have severe consequences for American society."
One way to respond to this news, and to draw attention to it, might be to print one or two of these graphs and post them alongside a display of family reading – books that appeal to broad age ranges that a family can read together.
Here are a few very good booklists for family reading:
Books Young Adults will Enjoy, by Marylaine Block
Rise Up Reading! A Bibliography for Children's Book Week 2007 created by Becky Anderson, Anderson's Bookshops
Children's Classic Literature by Englewood Public Schools
MotherReader's Best Books of 2007 (So Far) Megalist
Or, since the report finds that the amount of time a child spends reading is directly proportional to the number of books in the house, post news of the report that directs your customers to your Sale Books.
The PDF of this 98-page report is available here.
A PDF of the Executive Summary, 20 pages and loaded with graphics, is here.
And the graphs are available here. They are easy-access: downloadable, printable, and not PDF files. The graph at the head of this post is from this page.

This display, at the Ada Community Library in Idaho, is one of the better "I Spy" – themed displays we've seen, with bits of text challenging children (and adults!) to find specific objects among many others.
This display takes advantage of a disused bookcase, but a glass-topped display case might work too. Or, if you had some time and a hot-glue gun, you might create seasonal or thematic I Spy dioramas that you could re-use year after year… the mind reels…
Family Films display September 22, 2007Posted by sneaks in display topics, DVDs, great ideas, problem solving.
add a comment
We like this idea, also spotted at the Miller Branch of the Howard County Public Library, for a bunch of reasons.
Shelving G and PG-rated films separate from the PG-13 and R-rated titles makes parents and caregivers more comfortable about perusing the shelf with their children: they don't have to worry that a movie with a provocative or scary cover is going to leap out at the toddler and scare him or her.
Plus, movies that appear to be kid-oriented but which in fact are rather intense for younger viewers, such as Transformers and Spider-man, are rated PG-13, so they aren't in this section. No more arguments about the superhero movies.
And lastly: the librarians at the Miller Branch say that they can't keep this display stocked fast enough! Their DVD circs improved measurably after separating the Family Films from the, er, Adult Films.

Here's one way to display paperback series in an eye-catching way:
Stack each issue of the same series horizontally, with the least shelf-worn issue face-out on top.
If there are more than 4 or 5 issues of the same titles, space permitting, you might want to put the face-out issue to the immediate left of the stack.

Reading list titles shelved together
Here's a time-saver (not to mention a shelf-space saver), spotted at Howard County's Miller branch.
Take those tried-and-true perennial reading list titles (Animal Farm comes to mind, also A Lesson Before Dying, Things Fall Apart, Night, A Tale of Two Cities) that we keep multiple copies of just for summer, and give them their own little fixture. Here they've used paperback carousels, but a batch of dumps might work well too.
You can save a bunch of shelf space by keeping your multiples of Watership Down and 1984 off the regular fiction shelves.
During the summer, it's one-stop shopping for the folks who come in clutching their lists, and you could even wheel the whole unit to some inconspicuous place once the summer reading season is over.

We love this idea, spotted in Seattle:
Librarians in the children's section select books that they think would be favored by well-known characters from children's literature, and display them along with an oversized representation of the character and a little sign.
Babar might promote Alexander McCall Smith's Akimbo series; Miss Spider would read books on etiquette; and Curious George would read practically anything – he's a curious little monkey, after all!

We just returned from a visit to the Pacific Northwest, and what trip to Seattle would be complete without a stop at the new, space-age, incredibly-well-funded central branch of the Seattle Public Library!
The librarians there were very welcoming and fun to talk to (lots of tattoos). We took lots of pictures (camera was out of commission, so, sorry, they're cellphone pictures) and snatched up most of their brochures and reading lists. Lots to share, so let's get started.
First up was this sweet and pretty display in the children's area. "Read a Rainbow!" was printed out on colored paper and inserted into acrylic stands. Small gauzy drapes (maybe they were cheap chiffon scarves) were hung along the top shelf edge, and the picture books below were arranged in rainbow color order.
They had this right out front, and it really caught the eye. And there's got to be some kind of transgressive thrill to arranging books in color order instead of by call # or alpha by author – for once!
Rev up your Reader Advisory August 5, 2007Posted by sneaks in BCPL best practices, display topics, great ideas, recommended by.
add a comment
How do you decide what to read? We may follow certain authors, take clues from book covers, or even read reviews… but personal recommendation is still one of the strongest factors in selecting a book. Outside the library, people get recommendations from friends and colleagues, and from Amazon's extensive web of cross-references, like the "Other people who bought this book also bought…" feature. Inside the library, we get to recommend books face-to-face.
If you maintain a Staff Recommends display, with the staff member's name attached to each book, you are in effect creating brands specific to your library. Ruth Brown in Pikesville is a brand – there are people who will read books she recommends, no questions asked. This is priceless added value, something that most bookstores cannot match, and it's in our best interest to promote this service with staff and the public alike.
Here's how they do it in Hereford, according to Jo Blankenburg:
Melissa Gotsch started this up here. It's very simple: everyone on the staff–volunteers, teen CAs, part-time, full-time– EAGERLY writes their name on the Staff Recommends bookmarks and sticks them in a handful of their choices. We have devoted a full section of shelving at the end of our New Fiction area to these staff selections (in ALL formats). It has become so popular with customers and staff alike (and so congested with recommendations) that in July we also devoted our portable round unit on wheels to an auxilliary display at the entrance of the branch. I've been astounded at the turnover of these materials!
When the "Picks" are checked out, the bookmarks are (aggressively) collected and tallied at the end of each month on a spreadsheet at one of the computers at our combined desk. The full list of staff members and their monthly totals are posted in the office. Just last month, I started rewarding the top three "producers" with cheezy cheap prizes.
Many branches do a variation of this, but I've never been in a place where the staff enthusiasm was so great that it is an constant feature in the branch, and the materials on view was so varied. Many staff members have developed their own groupies; "Sam" is always #1– one of our customers was shocked to hear that Sam was the woman who had just helped her at the Information Desk….
What do you do to show off this service?

Turn storytimes into circ times! June 12, 2007Posted by sneaks in great ideas, J is for Juvenile, Picture Books.
add a comment
Here's a cute idea from North Point:
In an attempt to increase circulation after storytimes, we are offering handstamps as incentives to children who check out material. The Program team checked stats and saw a slight increase over the previous month. They are recommending that we try it again during June. Stats will be compared to June 06 to see if circ increased.
When a storytimer hands a book to a child at the end of storytime, it has enormous cachet. There's a lot to do when setting up for storytime, but assembling a stack of books that relate the the theme of the storytime almost guarantees that those books are going to be checked out.

From the UK we get a wacky new way to help adults find a book that suits their mood or taste. Whichbook is a web site that helps the user identify books in terms of setting, protagonist gender, plot shape, or… and this is the really mind-blowing part… by using a set of descriptors like funny, happy, sad, serious, disturbing, sexy, etc.
It's hard to describe. Here's a screenshot:
Each of those scales on the left has a slider – so you can ask for a medium-short book that is very funny and sort of disturbing, and has just a little sex. So far, I've tried lots of combinations and never stumped it. And, being British, Whichbook offers choices that might not be the first books that we would reach for.
Whichbook apparently also interfaces with the British library system, so when you find a book that suits you, you can hit a button marked "Borrow it." Wow. This might qualify as a MD 23 Things technology post… that is some high-powered stuff.

Every now and then you come across something that is just plain amazing. Children's book author Esme Raji Codell (author of Sahara Special and Vive la Paris, just to name two) recently visited Reading Reptile, a Kansas bookstore specializing in "books and tapes for young mammals," and took many many photos of that store's inspired, outrageously creative displays. She posted her photos and wrote about the experience on her excellent book review blog, The Planet Esme Plan.

This year, cultural institutions such as libraries, archives and museums are using May Day, May 1, to promote emergency preparedness.
Much attention has been paid to the devastation suffered by museums and libraries in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the damage and theft that occurred during and immediately after U.S. forces entered Baghdad.
The Heritage Emergency National Task Force urges cultural institutions across the country to observe MayDay by taking at least one step to prepare to respond to a disaster.

Do you bookmark upcoming programs? Here's a great idea we've seen at a number of branches – we wondered if everyone was in on it.
When you promote a program in advance with a display of on-topic books, slip a flyer (fold it in half lengthways if necessary) into each book. That way, every interested customer walks away with a reminder of an event they'll surely be interested in.
Towson recently pulled a batch of Star Wars books and displayed them with flyers for their upcoming author program (Star Wars from the Inside Out, with best-selling author James Luceno, April 1) folded into each.

Another good idea executed cleverly in Towson – to commemorate Dr. Seuss's birthday and the 50th anniversary of The Cat in The Hat, Tyler Wolfe pulled all the Dr. Seuss books from their accustomed places and displayed them prominently.
To prevent confusion when patrons went looking for Horton, Thidwick, Gerald McGrew, the Lorax, and their buddies, Tyler made a quickie sign. In bright colors and illustrated with Dr. Seuss characters, it read:
They've all disappeared
Every Sneetch, Who and Zuk.
They've moved to our Fireplace
Go and look! Go and look!
It's impractical to do this with every item pulled for display, but when a section of shelf is suspiciously empty, it helps patrons feel less frustrated when we leave a clue to help them find what they are looking for.
The happy ending to this story is that nearly all the Seuss books had been snapped up three days later.

… if you're a J author in Towson, that is.
Tyler Wolfe, Towson's merchandizing coordinator, came up with this scavenger-hunt-esque idea for pepping up the J fiction shelves. Tyler writes:
You might see some little balloon tags around the JArea. I've stuck up very small "Happy Birthday" signs next to childrens authors (Easies and J Fiction) who have birthdays this month (with the author and date). It seemed like a fun and simple way to put a little more color around and maybe highlight some good authors. If the signs don't all get destroyed in the first week, I'll probably try to keep it up each month.
Feel free to give a bit of a merchandising preference to anyone you see with a tag. After all, it is their birthday.
He uses the list of authors and their birthdays compiled by Kidsreads.com. Kidsreads.com is a nice place to visit if you'd like to keep abreast of upcoming books, especially series titles. They have links to tons of author websites, games, and reviews as well.

Is there someone at your branch who is just amazingly creative? Maybe it's someone who is already doing your displays and signs, or maybe there's someone just waiting to be asked.
The incredible bulletin boards at the St Agnes branch of the New York Public Library are done by Javier Horta, a Librarian Trainee. When I spoke to him, he was very enthusiastic about the dragon he's creating for his next big display!
Don't forget that merchandizing this good isn't something a talented person throws together in his or her spare time. If you're lucky enough to have someone like Javier, who can arrange artful displays, make good-looking signs, or sculpt dragons, that person will be happiest and most creative when given time on the schedule to do it.

add a comment
It's a dilemma – pop-up books are so appealing and cool, but so SO fragile! They beg to be touched, so we want to show them off, but too much love and they're history.
At this branch of the New York Public Library, the librarians display all the newest (i.e. least damaged) pop-up books on a shelf at (about) adult shoulder level, open to a eye-popping page. This way, there's usually a grownup handing the book to the child. That means there's at least a chance that the adult will teach or show the child how to get at all the pop-up fabulosity without ripping the thing to shreds.
Besides, it's not just kids who think pop-ups are cool. This placement subtly shows the adult that the public library is a great place to find the high-end stuff too!
The three-D castle above ties in with the pop-ups really nicely, but not all of us have paper engineers on staff!

By the way, if you're hoping to find stickers that are strictly identical, your choices will be limited to American flags, "I Voted," or smiley faces.

The human brain processes images something like nine times faster than it does words. A series logo such as "American Girl" or "Animal Ark" is instantly recognizable by adult and child alike.
It takes a little extra trouble to make these specialized shelf labels (here, at Essex), but to a beginning reader, it's probably worth it.
Three ways:
- Find the series logo on the Internet, copy it into Microsoft Word (or a graphics program), print on a color printer, and trim.
- Scan the logo from a book, import it into Word (or a graphics program), print, and trim.
- Color copy the logo from a book or other promotional materials, print and trim.

Sleep is the body's time to recuperate after a long day. If you lack sleep, you deprive your brain, body and skin of nourishment. Lack of sleep or poor sleep quality also speeds up ageing, according to a study by the University of Wisconsin, because it becomes harder for the body to recover from the damage caused by UV rays.
That is why it is essential that you get enough sleep every night. But for those times when it cannot be helped, here are some ways you can wake up looking and feeling fresh.
1. Start your day with deep breathing.
Oxygen boosts your energy. When you wake up, take deep breaths rhythmically and repeatedly. This will help you relax and relieve stress.
2. Nourish yourself with vitamin C.
Keep yourself from getting weak and sick by taking vitamin C-rich foods and juices particularly on days when your body badly needs rest. Ascorbic acid is one of the most effective immune system boosters.
3. Tighten the skin around your eyes.
As you age, your skin needs more care. The skin around your eyes, in particular, is very delicate being 10 times thinner than the rest of your face. Some eye products promise to firm up the area around your eyes in a few minutes to reduce puffiness. Check out this review of the Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles.
4. Use moisturising eye drops.
Even if you have makeup on, tired red eyes will give your weariness away. Just a drop will make a huge difference.
5. Brighten your skin.
Your skin looks brighter when you are well rested. Try using face masks made with lemon, honey, oat and aloe vera extracts to soothe your skin.
These are all quick fixes but nothing beats living a healthy lifestyle, and that includes getting seven to eight hours of good sleep every night. With enough sleep, you can keep both your mind and body healthy.

December 4, 2011
I only remembered Thursday when I wrote down '1st of December' in my notebook: December...isn't there something special soon? Remembering ILD made my day! What's better than putting on a full blown loli outfit just for the sake of it, not to go out anywhere?
As part of my last ILD's resolutions, I created an EGL account today (my handle is twinklecarousel), and plan to post entries during my Christmas holiday. The other part of my June ILD resolutions was to start this blog - yes, I procrastinate... It took me quite a while to plan and find the courage to start Le Boudoir, but I'm really glad that I did. I feel like I have my own little spot dedicated to lolita even on the internet (I cutify everything within breathing distance-there's just no limit.) So here I am, half a year later with two of my goals achieved!
Like last ILD, I am spending this day devoting myself to lolita related crafts, and writing articles for Le Boudoir, all of that, of course, dressed to the nines in sweet lolita. I am actually starting to make my Christmas dress today! I have swathes of heavy crimson velvet which I have been dying to use for so long! I'm hoping to have this finished by Christmas day, but I always have a back-up dress - not that I should be any less focused on finishing it! I also have a store of new articles I'm working on, so wait for it!
I hope you're enjoying this special day, and having a great time so far, whatever it is you chose to do! Wether it's taking care of yourself, attending a meetup, crafting, sewing, spreading lolita culture, or watching your favorite lolita movie snuggled beneath cute covers, may your day be full of frills!

Spotlight on: Iraq Star, Inc.
Iraq Star, Inc.: Providing Reconstructive Surgery to American Soldiers Returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars
More than 40,000 U.S. servicemen and servicewomen have returned from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with emotional and physical scars. Improvements in immediate front-line treatment and rapid evacuation of the injured have saved many more lives than would have been possible in past wars. However, many of these wounded warriors now live with traumatic brain injuries and more severe deformities than seen in previous conflicts. Military physicians provide treatment and surgery to close some of the wounds, but disfiguring scars from shrapnel, burns and other traumas remain and often need special attention from reconstructive plastic surgeons.
That's when Iraq Star, Inc. steps in. Since 2007, the non-profit foundation has provided reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries to more than 60 wounded American soldiers, some of whom are still on active duty.
Iraq Star was founded by Maggie Lockridge, RN, who served in the U.S. Air Force Nurse Corps before running her own plastic surgery recovery center in the Los Angeles area. Lockridge was so moved by the plight of soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan that she wrote to 30 of her favorite surgeons to ask them to donate their services. "Every one of them came onboard," she recalls.
Today, 245 board-certified reconstructive and aesthetic surgeons from 42 states donate their time and skills to Iraq Star, performing pro bono ear and nose reconstruction, shrapnel removal, scar revisions on the face and torso, hand and arm reconstruction, laser treatments for red scars, and even injections of hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Perlane to fill some scars.
Many veterans are more bothered by these small facial scars than by the major difficulties involving their prosthetic limbs, says Iraq Star Medical Director Norman Leaf, MD. "By improving these lesser deformities, we have found that they regain their sense of self-confidence, which helps ease their re-entry into civilian life," says Dr. Leaf, a plastic surgeon in private practice in Beverly Hills, CA and an associate clinical professor of plastic surgery at UCLA Medical Center.
Some reconstructive surgeries are extremely complex, expensive and involve multiple procedures, but they can have profound effects on a soldier's ability to function in the field and once they return to civilian life. For example, Army Veteran Marco Robledo of Arkansas lost his left ear, left arm and left leg in an improvised explosive device explosion in Iraq. Iraq Star arranged for three separate plastic surgeries to create a new ear from his own skin and bone grafts, make cosmetic adjustments to his other ear and remove shrapnel from his lip. The cost of these surgeries, with discounts, came to $15,500 paid for by donations to Iraq Star.
Iraq Star also collaborates with the Veterans Administration and Angel Flight pilots who volunteer their aircraft and time to transport soldiers to their surgeries when necessary. "Iraq Star physicians are available on a grassroots basis to help with the care of our wounded in or very close to their own homes," explains Dr. Leaf. "This is a distinct advantage over the situation in which a wounded vet and his family needs to live at or near a military or VA facility."
Wounded veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars can contact Lockridge through the Iraq Star website to apply for services. Alternatively, they can call (310)245-6775 or email email@example.com. Lockridge can usually arrange a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon within two weeks of an initial contact; surgery can often be scheduled within a month. To do your part and contribute to Iraq Star, click here.
In addition to costs of the surgery, Iraq Star also covers transportation, hotel accommodations, food, anesthesia, hospital fees, and medical supplies, as well as expenses for a family member to accompany the soldier to their destination. The group is fully funded by donations from the public.

So, having a system that makes out there to all residents a collection of competing well being insurers and subsidies, if needed, is one of those duties. The hogwash concerning the obligatory insurance or penalty being a violation of particular person liberty is just that, hogwash. The penalty is there to do three issues, 1) to incentivize free-loaders to get insurance coverage, 2) reduce the cost of health care premiums, and three) collect up-front a charge to pay for the well being prices they will more than probably burden the well being care system with after they get sick or injured to the extent they can't (or will not) pay for it out of their own resources (a conservative concept I happen to agree with, btw).

Ready to move into a swanky new house or just a barely furnished hovel in The Elder Scrolls Online? You won't have to wait too much longer. The game's Homestead patch is launching on Monday, February 6th for PC players and Tuesday, February 21st for console players. Yes, you'll have to wait a little bit longer to move in if you're not playing on your desktop. Don't worry, the houses will still be there. Houses are generally not known to be the most mobile things.
Players can purchase as many of the game's 39 homes as they wish, whether you want to just have one or two or the full set. There are also 2000 different decorative pieces to adorn your home, new furniture crafting options, and a few other crafting additions to go along with it. Start saving up that money and get ready for the patch to drop; you've only got a couple more weeks until it goes live.
Don't forget to check out our ESO columnist's hands-on preview of the entire housing system on the test server!

Despite knowledge of Muni's inconsistencies, the service was chosen over competing options because it was cheaper, required minimal physical exertion, and there was a possibility the train would run without delays. There was not another option that matched Muni on economy and low effort, and superseded it on quickness and consistency. For the last couple of years, startup Scoot Networks with their candy apple red scooters, network of stations, and app centric model has been refining and growing their services to a level that may finally give a compelling enough alternative to the city's public transportation. To better understand whether their scooters would be a fit in my daily life, I recently gave their service a test ride. Below is a summary of my findings.
Training Session
First Drive
Initial difficulty locating the drop off point was quickly eased by a call to the company's hotline, where a support representative helped me find the parking space next to three other parked bikes. Once the scooter was parked, I stashed away the helmet, secured the keys, plugged in the bike, and used the app to turn off the scooter. Due to a promotion the 20 minute ride was free but normally would cost $4 under their "no plan" option. When compared to a 45 minute Muni ride for $2.25, 15 minute Lyft trip at $12, and $9 for a 40 minute sweaty Bike Share ride, the bright red scooters are a compelling option for similar trips in the future.
Final Thoughts
Zipping up the happy hills of Pacific Heights and Nob Hill made for a fun efficient experience and the service seems to be a good fit for those who live in the city looking for an inexpensive way to reach an appointment, grab essential groceries, or even commute to a local job. I wonder how well the small scooter would handle the fast car friendly roads of SoMa but the company seems to be already listening to customers as they are testing a larger more capable scooter that should hold its own in car lanes and carry more goods. I also would like to see more available stations in residential areas and two-seater options for those who like to travel with friends and significant others.
There are plans to increase the capacity and efficiency of Muni, however, those changes will undoubtedly arrive much later than the arrival of new residents and office workers soon to occupy the city's future upcoming high rises. As a growing population exacerbates the long Muni commutes and car parking space hunting, residents are searching for alternative forms of transportation including car sharing services, bicycling, motorcycles, and scooters. My first experiences with Scoot Networks revealed an economical, efficient, and quick service that should give residents another viable and persuasive option to travel throughout the city.

With 17 locations serving all the major cities in Austria, Europcar is fully prepared to meet and exceed all of your car hire demands. Our vast fleet of comfortable, safe and reliable vehicles is on hand and there to cater for any budget, while helpful services and options like express pick-up, easy 3-step online booking, child seats, satellite navigation and additional driver cover, are available to help make sure that whatever challenges meet you during your visit to Austria, getting from A to B will not be among them.
Known by many as a having a major role in classical western music, Austria was the birth place of many famous composers, among them Franz Liszt, Johann Strauss Sr and Johann Strauss Jr, Franz Schubert, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Patronage of the Habsburgs drew many non-native composers as well, including Ludwig Van Beethoven. Cultural hubs like Vienna and Salzburg attract millions of visitors every year with their baroque architecture, lively nightlife and romantic settings. Austria's countryside is dominated by the surrounding mountains of the Alps, which leave only about 25% of land that can be regarded as low lying. The remainder of the landscape is given over to dramatic peaks, green valleys and serene, scenic lakes.
The City of Vienna – A cultural and cosmopolitan hotspot, Vienna has been at the heart of European Empires throughout history. Boasting not one, but two imperial palaces – the Hofburg Palace and the Schönbrunn Palace – with a combined total of over 4000 rooms between them. Vienna is also home to famous landmarks like the Wiener Riesenrad,the Cathedral of St Stephen, and the Burgtheater, as well as over 100 musems, including the Albertina, the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, and the Leopold Museum. Music lovers will be interested in the globally renowned Wiener Staatsoper, or Vienna State Opera, and the world famous Vienna Boys Choir, and maybe intrigued to see some of Beethoven's former residences and grave site, or the memorial to Mozart which resides in the Habsburg gardens.
Winter sports - The mountainous region that surrounds Austria makes for some of the very best in Alpine skiing, mountaineering and hiking, and the world class resorts such as Ischgl, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Sankt Anton am Arlberg, and Sölden that are on hand, have all the required amenities for the perfect winter getaway, including facilities for cross-country skiing, ski jumping, and all types of ice sports.
The Austrian setting – It's little wonder so many movies and stories have been set in and around the countryside of Austria. The magnificent alpine setting, with winding roads spiralling down into lush green valleys edged with shimmering, silver lakes is truly awe inspiring. The Danube valley, lined with vinyards, the provinces of Tyrol and Vorarlberg on the edge of Lake Constance, or any of the other Austrian lakes such as Saltzkammergut, Wörthersee and Wolgangsee to name just three, all combine to make the most enchanting country to take a long driving holiday through.

Not played much pokes lately to be honest, as the numb nuts at BT and Sky have fcuked up my internet connection and it would take 20 days to reset everything back up and with us moving in 10 days theres not much point,
I have had some winning sessions though found an interent cafe by us and played for a couple of hours over two days and ended up +£300 which aint too bad for 4 hours work.
Played abit of live pokes last night, finished 5th in a £20 sngay out of 14 runners took a gamble with my 99 vs AJ all in pre and he spikes runner runner straight on river to half my chips i then slam with JQ suited and double up off someone else, and attempt a steal with K10 suited but called by guy who knocked me down first time, i manage to spike K on the flop but his A10 holds as he hits his A 3 outer on the river. One other hand i have to mention as this guy was going on and on and on about it all night, i have A6ss on BB and its checked to me i raise it up x3 bb get two callers, flop comes Qs 9s 6c i check hoping to check raise him but he checks behind me, turn 2s i bet half the pot he calls, river is 10h he slams with Ks Jh for the straight i insta call with the flush and hes like how can you bet out with the nuts on turn, and wouldnt shut up about it alllll night!
So moved over to the £40 cash game, quickly moved upto around £60 after a guy pushes my £3.50 raise for £10 total with KQ vs my AQ then i proceed to hit 2 sets straights a plenty and everything going, then the defining hand i get JJ in mid pos, its raised early to £6 with two callers i re raise £20 raiser calls as does first caller, flop comes 9 10 2 raiser bets £10 caller folds and i shove for rest he calls and flips KK turn is a magical J bomb and i take down a nice £100+ pot, then to the very last hand of the night, i have A4hh flop comes Ad 2h 9h i check he bets £10 i decide to see a turn and call, turn 9c i check again he must have a low Ace so we are splitting at worst here, he pushes for last £15 i insta call and he shows A7o/s and river is magical 5h get in another nice hand.
Not a bad nights work +£140,
Anyways might not get much poker in over the next couple of weeks as we are in the process of moving back over the right side of the penines, so laters all and best of luck at the tarbs

|All who claim to be fighting in the name of the Iraqi people should now recognize that - in an open expression of popular will - Iraqis have expressed their clear preference that these battles be fought exclusively in the peaceful, constitutional arena.
"Suprising," you say? Well, don't be surprised. The NY Times has not changed its liberal colors. Remember that this is the paper that has publically criticized the President that made this possible since he was elected; this is the paper that criticized the effort that the troops who made this possible put forth; yes, this is the paper that has tried and failed to stymie the democratization of Iraq at every turn. Now, they are pleased with the results and have come to realize what us conservatives have known from the beginning: freedom and democracy are always worth the effort.
Don't fret, libs, the NY Times will be back to Bush bashing tomorrow.

If you have some spare time on your hands — and you happen to be a volleyball fan — you might want to check out the Bronx Science Wolverines. It certainly won't take up much of your time, and the skill level is top-notch.
Take, for example, the Wolverines' latest outing last week when they took on Lehman. It took the Wolverines just 17 minutes to complete their first set, 25-12, victory. Even less in the second set, which they won 25-10. That's 33 combined minutes, or about 75 cents at your local parking meter.
Only none of this was expected from Science this season. With a roster full of freshmen and sophomores, this was supposed to be the season when the mighty Wolverines — winners of the past three Bronx A Division regular-season titles — were supposed to be vanquished in a rebuilding season. Only someone forgot to tell the six freshmen, six sophomores and two juniors on the Wolverines' roster it was time to abdicate their throne.
With the win over Lehman, the Wolverines captured their fourth straight division crown, have still not lost a regular-season match in three-plus seasons (and counting), and are still on course for a deep run in the upcoming Public School Athletic League postseason tournament.
"Our goal is to win by as much as possible, do it as quickly as possible, and just do the best that we can," junior co-captain Darya Lollos said. "We always make a point to play as well as we can regardless of what kind of team we're playing."
Science started off a little slow in the first set against Lehman when it trailed 4-3. But that's when the Wolverines went on a 16-2 run to take a 19-6 lead in the first set. With Skilins pulling his starters, Science finished the first set with five substitutes and just one starter, co-captain Amanda Maeglin, in the lineup.
Little changed in the second set when Science used a 12-4 run to break an early 4-4 tie before cruising to yet another stress-free win to go to 9-0 on the season. In the process, Skilins used every member of his roster as he looks to build depth and experience for his young team.
"I think it's important to play everybody and give all these kids experience," Skilins said. "We're building for the future, so it's really important that everyone on the team knows their role."
Not much was expected from a team with so much youth this season. But Darya thought early on this team could be special.
"I'm not really surprised because we've always had a strong program, and I knew there were a lot of girls who were coming into the program who were strong players," said Darya, who had four service points and two aces in the win over Lehman. "This year coach was worried that we weren't going to do well, but Amanda and I were really wanting to keep up the program where we've had it for the past few years. And I think we're succeeding so far."
Sophomore Anya Lollos, the younger of the Lollos sisters, said the team as it is now is in much better shape than it was when preseason practice started when there might have been some internal friction on the team.
"There's a really good team dynamic now," said Anya, who had seven service points and eight kills against Lehman. "I came in a little bit worried when I saw how young the team was and that there was some separation. In the beginning of the season, there were kind of groups on the team, some division. But now I think we're a lot more bonded as a team, and now we have a lot of fun playing together and are really supportive of each other."
The Wolverines have not only not lost a regular-season game this season, they have yet to lose a single set. But surprisingly that is not a topic of conversation among the team.
"We don't really talk about the fact that we're undefeated," Anya said. "But we come in to every game and expect to win every game."
With just three games remaining in the regular season before the playoffs — and with the intense academic workload the Science athletes endure on a daily basis — Skilins said perhaps the best part of seeing his team succeed is watching them commemorate their victories.
"I love it when they celebrate and get happy when they score a point," Skilins said. "They all do an outstanding job in the classroom, so this is their time to come out and have some fun, show some emotion, and have a great time."

BGL Industrials Insider: Technology Fuels M&A in Automotive
March 22 2018
Cleveland, OH – March 22, 2018 – The automotive industry is undergoing transformation, creating opportunities for innovative, technology-led companies, according to the Industrials Insider, an industry report released by Brown Gibbons Lang & Company (BGL).
An "automotive revolution" is predicted over the next decade, as tighter emissions and fuel economy standards and changing consumer preferences drive increased demand for vehicle electrification, autonomy, and lightweighting. Market participants are bracing for technology changes, a seismic shift that is accelerating portfolio reviews and strategic investments to capitalize on the transition to electric and self-driving vehicles. Technology-driven M&A will drive deal activity across the value chain as companies look to stay viable in the innovation race.
- Ford (Princeton Lightwave), General Motors (Strobe), Aptiv (nuTonomy), and Magna International (Innoviz Technologies) are among the large auto companies to recently make acquisitions or investments in developers of LIDAR sensors—critical technology needed to commercialize production of autonomous vehicles.
- Automakers are investing in a broad range of technologies as the market migrates from traditional gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines to hybrid and electric. BorgWarner acquired Sevcon, a manufacturer of controllers and system components for electrically powered vehicles, to build its capabilities in electric propulsion systems.
- Global CO2 and fuel economy regulations are driving increased demand for lightweight materials. AK Steel acquired Precision Partners, which specializes in lightweighting and complex metal components, to broaden its platform for innovative lightweight steel solutions in the automotive market.
BGL publishes periodic Insider research publications on a variety of industries including automotive; building products and construction materials; business services; consumer and retail; environmental and industrial services; healthcare and life sciences; industrials; metals; and plastics and packaging.

Everyone was waiting to see how Oscars host Chris Rock was going to address the lack of diversity in this year's nominees. He didn't hold any punches, opening the show with: "I counted at least 15 black people in that montage" referencing the opening of the televised awards show.
The comedian also addressed calls for him to quit the Oscars.
"Last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart. I don't need that," he said, adding that the show would have gone on without him.
The Smiths were also the subject of Rock's monologue.
"What happened this year? Jada's going to boycott the Oscars. Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited! It's not an invitation I would turn down."
But what stood out the most to us was the part where Rock explained why the lack of diversity in Hollywood is just now getting the publicity it deserves.
"When your grandmother's swinging from the tree, it's really hard to care about best documentary foreign short," he said to a laughing audience.
Not funny, but poignant. Considering the last recorded lynching in the United States was in 1981, Rock's zinger really rings true.
"Black people did not protest. Why? because we had real things to protest at the time. We were too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer."
The two-time host also addressed sexism, specifically the debate over whether reporters should ask women what they're wearing on the red carpet.
"Not everything is racism. Not everything is sexism. If George Clooney shows up in lime green with a swan coming out of his a**, someone's going to ask, what are you wearing?"

Check out what's happening with the Community Action Teams!
What is a Community Action Team?
• Empowers groups of solution-oriented individuals or organizations to act, taking ownership to strengthen the community.
• These are not never-ending "committees" – they are action-oriented, and the CAT is dissolved when the action has been completed.
• CAT's are one of many ongoing efforts throughout the community to help the transition tied to the closure of the Sheerness Mine and Sheerness Generating Station.
What are the desired outcomes of the Community Action Team?
The individual teams will help move the community towards one of the three strategic directions:
• Build or strengthen local capacity to move through transition efforts
• Mitigate the potential impacts of the Mine and Generating Station closure
• Capitalize on future opportunities that will help diversify the local economy
Who can form a Community Action Team?
• Anyone with an interest in helping make the community stronger (whether you are an individual, a business, or an organization).
• You play the role that is right for you within a CAT. You may be the champion of the idea, or you may simply want to support through your time or your expertise.
When do I apply to be a part of a Community Action Team?
• Anytime – the process is ongoing and whenever you have an idea on how you want to take action in the community, that is the right time to talk about organizing a CAT.
• The Process:
How do I get involved?
Contact the Hanna Learning Centre to set up an initial meeting to discuss your idea and determine how to proceed:

University Centre Somerset student invited to work with world renowned expert
During the academic year our Media Make-up BA (Hons) students were visited by Shaune Harrison, a world renowned make-up artist who has worked on films such as Star Wars, The Mummy and Harry Potter to name a few.
Shaune launched the 'Products by Design' module for University Centre Somerset students where they were tasked with designing a Frankenstein inspired character. Shaune returned to see the students' practical assessments and was impressed with BA (Hons) student Katie Gibson's Frankenstein lady which included a wig, prosthetics and make-up. As a result he later commissioned Katie to create a wig to use for his make-up demonstration at IMATS (International Make-up Artist Trade Show) New York on the Kryolan Stand.
Impressed by the standard of Katie's work Shaune asked her to assist with his demonstration for PS Composites at IMATS in London. Katie assisted Shaune with his take on the Frankenstein Monster on model Garth Maunders in front of the thousands of people attending the event, as well as other industry professionals from across the world. Katie worked on prosthetics and colouring to create the finished character.
Brodie Nichols, Lead Lecturer on the Media Make-up course at University Centre Somerset comments: "Katie's dedication throughout the programme has been commendable. Her skills have gained her valuable work experience and won her the 'Highest Achiever Award' for Media Make-up BA (Hons) Top Up at our recent Creative Arts Show."
Katie is hoping to use her work experience to gain employment in the prosthetics industry.
Media Make-up is available through Clearing for a September 2017 start. Click here for the full course information and to apply.

This album is both intellectual and exciting, earthy and ethereal. The sheer quality of the playing is overwhelming. I sincerely hope that Melbourne continues to embrace the tradition that has evolved around Browne and his disparate associates.

As your round unfolds you soon realize Fazio allowed much of these rolling hills of northern Wake County to do most of the talking, not a humming bulldozer.

After a long weekend, the bond market is back in action. The sell-off continues, slight as it is this morning. The FNMA benchmark bond is currently down 9 basis points to 101.5. Since February 2nd, it is down 194 basis points which translates into about .5% in rate. There have been 2 days since the 2nd that the bond has increased in price. The economic news, for the most part, has been mixed but has been strong enough, in conjunction with other things like stabilizing oil prices and good earnings numbers which have led to record numbers for the stock market that have been the catalyst for this recent sell-off.
The NY Empire Manufacturing Index came in at 7.8 which was below expectations of 8.5 and previous of 9.95. The NAHB also disappointed with a reading of 55 vs. expectations of 58 and previous of 57 but anything over 50 shows growth. In spite of disappointing numbers on the economic front, the market continues to struggle. Here's a snapshot of the mortgage bond market chart from this morning:
On tap for tomorrow: At some point in time with this kind of a sell-off and the RSI showing oversold, you would think that investors will look at the price and think it's a buying opportunity. Tomorrow may provide some more direction with a number of economic data points being released: building permits, PPI, industrial production and capacity utilization. Tomorrow afternoon is also the release of the FOMC minutes - traders will look at this closely to try to get a read on what the Fed thinks about the economy and when they might start raising rates. Might this current sell-off only be a blip in the longer term trend of decreasing rates or is this the beginning of the end for LOW rates? Personally, I don't think we are quite there yet - though I'll be anxiously awaiting the Fed minutes tomorrow as well for more intel. I think traders will start buying again, sooner rather than later but I'm not fully confident that they will push rates lower than we saw them a few weeks ago. There's too many variables to try to guess that. Rates are great and with the various news items coming out tomorrow, it may be a good idea to lock ahead of those items, just to be safe.
Make it a great day and a better week and feel free to contact me if I can help with anything mortgage-related - 702-812-1214.
