Training Ideas
Click the Comments link below to submit suggestions for training. Thanks!
Aleph@UF includes cataloging procedures and policies used by the Cataloging and Metadata Department, George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida. Please send corrections and suggestions for new procedures to the Catalog Problems mailbox - email@example.com.
07-15-14 The procedure for handling Blu-ray/DVD combos has been updated to reflect the fact that we no longer retain the original Blu-ray case.
02-17-14 I have added a brief procedure for the case when DVD and Blu-ray discs are sold together in one case. They should not be left together when cataloged. The procedure is under Audio-Visual Material. Doug
12-11-13 The guidelines for dealing with looseleaf materials in Storage may be found under the Storage Tab. Connect directly at http://guides.uflib.ufl.edu/storagelooseleaf . Quick summary: Use the record you can find. Don't fret. Do what you can and move on. - Naomi
11-25-13 A complete reworking of the procedure for monographs with accompanying non-print material is now available. The old one still had many elements from NOTIS. Please note that there has been one major change. We will no longer be using the pt.n-of-m captioning when a monograph has accompanying material physically separated from the primary text. We will now use a basic term that describes the non-print resource such as CD, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. Please look over the procedure and let me know if you have any suggestions or notice an error - Doug.
10-15-13 Richard Phillips would like us to place any adds to existing records on a review shelf for him to look over and decide if he really wants to keep them. Just to be clear, this is only for LAC approvals, not for copy adds ordered individually. Typically only Copy Cataloging staff and Peter encounter these adds from the LAC approvals. If you aren't sure whether an add should be reviewed, ask Peter or Doug. The shelf is located in the area we share with Special Collections. Go toward Betsy's office. As you enter the room shared with Special Collections, the shelf is immediately to your right on the top shelf. Copy Cataloging staff should pull adds that Richard selects from the second shelf. Copies he wants to discard will be placed on the third shelf down. ... There have been a couple of questions about serial adds that we might receive via LAC approvals. Since what enters the collection is Richard's decision, he would be the person to contact if there is any question about retaining a serial item, or any other for that matter. In general, Richard would like to see any individual item of which we more than one copy, whatever it might be, if it is received via the LAC approval plan. So if we own an incomplete set of a monographic series or serial and we receive an item of that set we do not have in the LAC collection, then we would add it without question. If LAC already owns that particular item in the set, then would leave it for Richard to review.
10-10-13 There have been reports that some of submissions of SUL duplicate records via the Duplicate Record Report Form have not been recorded in the Duplicate Record Spreadsheet that SUL staff review to merge the records. If you enter information in the Duplicate Record Report Form, please confirm it is recorded in the Duplicate Record Spreadsheet (scroll to the bottom of the spreadsheet to check).
10-8-13 The default position of the STA field in Shared BIB is at the top of a record. Those records that have it at the bottom came over that way in the "base" record that was used for the merge. Saving the record will rearrange the fields putting the STA at the top of the record.
9-18-13 When you have a book with one holding record for FLARE and no holding records for any UF libraries, count this title as a new title, not as an add to an existing title as we would have when this title was in UFSTO. What can be confusing is that the OCLC holdings are still set for UF, so if you search the OCLC record, it will still say HELD BY FUG. This will change at some point when UF's OCLC holdings are removed and FLARE's set.
8-26-13 The Cat-Acq conference/training room, which is located in the space previously used for the library bookstore, is available for scheduling through Outlook. It is listed in the global address list under lib-conf-cat-acq. The third floor training room and third floor conference rooms have been removed from the global address list. The meetings that were scheduled for the third floor conference room have been transferred to the Cat-Acq conference room. This is not the case for any meetings that had been scheduled for the third floor training room.
8-20-13 It is very important that material on the rush shelves not be removed. We appreciate the effort to help out, but there are tracking issues with rush material and we need to see and distribute it ourselves. Even if the material would normally come to you, please don't remove it until it is placed in the rush basket for Contributed Cataloging or given directly to you in Copy Cataloging. Thanks.
6-14-13 There has been a change in protection of fields recently. The subfield 5 that protected fields during the merge will no longer serve that purpose for overlaid records on export from OCLC. The subfield 5 now only governs which library will display a field that should not display for other libraries. There is a list in the appendix of the Shared Bib Guidelines which shows which fields were protected by subfield 5 during the merge and which fields are now protected. The 500 field is on that list, so duplicate 500 fields will frequently be created and need to be weeded out after overlay. Sorry about that, but it has been a practice to put local information in 500 fields so they must be protected to prevent loss.
6-3-13 Please note that that the $$t in the 852 of the holding record for copy number is no longer used at UF, nor is the use of c.2, etc. in the description field of item records. It has been some time since the word went out to stop the use of copy numbers. In addition, the approved abbreviation for volume has for some time been v. not vol. Should either copy numbers or vol. print on call number labels, we will return the items to the cataloger for correction. Thanks.
5-20-13 A revised procedure for the copy cataloging of music sound discs has been added.
5-13-13 The only gift slip that should remain with the material after it is cataloged is the yellow one that is specifically for the Panama Canal Museum Collection in LAC. Please discard other gift slips after cataloging and before they reach Processing. Removing all of those slips is extra work for Public Services since they have to remove dozens at a time.
4-26-13 Per Hang Soo Hoo, please do not use the sub-library and collection code UFSTO TRAY with a temp location checked. Use of this code should be by HDF staff only. This sub-library and collection code is applied to materials automatically by ALEPH when processed into the HDF. Any application of this code other than by ALF or HDF staff creates problems within the ALEPH and HDF databases. Questions about which code to apply to an item or items being processed for ALF should be sent to lib-alfissues mailbox.
3-28-13 Preservation confirmed that all material sent previously should continue to be sent. There are no exceptions. Preservation is still creating pockets for accompanying supplemental material like CDs.

Are you happier while at the computer, or while taking a walk?
By "taking a walk", I do mean taking a walk, even if just for a short while; not walking while engaging with a smart device. So, what's your experience?
P.S.: Just in case some of you misunderstand, the question is not meant so that we choose one over the other. (We do both anyhow, don't we?) It's not even so that we decide which one is better. It's about self-discovery. What's true for you? If you like to take it further, asking why would be great.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 23 2013: If the computer has just provided messages that are unwelcome or bearing bad news then I am not happy .... If I am walking in a high crime zone ... I am not happy.
Most events are cause and effect determined. I am a firm believer in the "Choose the right" theory. If when given a choice or option if I choose to do the right thing my life will be less complicated. These are not easy options. I consider them moral and ethical actions.
Pay my bills, obey the laws of God and man, help your fellow man when given the opportunity, live my life with honor and dignity, and above all know who I am and learn to like that person.
Where I am or what I am doing does not determine my happiness. Life is much greater than that one event.
I wish you well. Bob.
Sep 24 2013: Robert, you bring up some great points.
Our environment does affect our happiness, although we often can't choose are environment we can choose to shape it and how we view it. A computer can help you learn or harm, each of us has the power to shape that environment.
For example (that also connects to "Choose the right") last year when learning I had Viking Ancestry on the computer I also learned about "the Nine Noble Virtues" and have been using them to shape my life.
Courage, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Self-Reliance, Industriousness, Perseverance and Truth (AI: I always seek to discover, see, and accept the truth.)
And we should try to shape our walks and the walks of others when possible; via planting, cleaning, improving the lighting, adding art, etc.

Our Jewish Community has grown steadily since Julius Houseman settled here in 1852. Within five years, he and those who followed him had established the first Jewish organization in Grand Rapids--the Jewish Benevolent and Burial Society.
Today we continue to grow. Our community now includes these strong organizations:
Their vital work enhances our heritage, education and culture. They serve as a link and a lifeline to Jews locally, nationally and internationally.
From Generation to Generation:
We named this opportunity L'Dor Vador: From Generation to Generation. L'Dor Vador is an appropriate name for the Funds. Here is a partial list of how they will benefit our community and our future:
How Can You Help:
You can demonstrate your commitment to our future by supporting the Endowment funds of the Grand Rapids Jewish Community. Giving opportunities can be customized and may assist your community, while providing substantial tax savings for you and/or your estate. Some examples include:
We will be happy to explain these options in more detail. Each of us must take part in creating this link between the generations.
What's the Next Step?
As with any major financial decision, you'll want to discuss this with your loved ones and financial advisor. Then contact us. We'll meet with you or mail you more details on how you can help build the L'Dor Vador Funds.
Our Jewish Organizations:
Your gift to the Endowment Funds of the Grand Rapids Jewish Community will be used to support the efforts of local Jewish organizations. The Endowment Funds Committee itself is composed of a representative from each of our participating organizations. You may direct your donation to one or more of our Funds:

Join us for the annual Crossroads Irish-American Festival. Viney Keehand and Friends will kick off the event at 1:00 with Irish music. It will be followed by the US premiere of the film, Nights in Shanaglish, a film about the making of a unique multi-media music album at Whelan's Pub in the South Galway village of Shanaglish. Nights in Shanaglish, directed and produced by Vincey Keehan of San Francisco (formerly of Shanaglish) and Paddy Egan. The film features song, music, story and dance documented during a series of recordings in Whelan's Pub in Shanaglish and is captured in a CD, DVD and old-style vinyl album. The film, created by documentary filmmaker Fergus Tighe (The Clash of the Ash), shows the connection between performers, pub owner, local characters, and the surrounding South Galway area. Footage of local landscape and historical lore provide a backdrop to these multimedia recordings. Q&A to follow with Vincey Keehan.

"The Addams Family" show #262
Last night I attended the evening performance of the touring production of The Addams Family at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, CA. I had heard many different reviews from this show in general. That it was funny, that it was dumb, that it was unorganized, that it was inaccurate in representing the original characters. After seeing the show for myself I can safely say that this touring cast is bringing justice to the Addams name.
The Addams Family musical has a very basic story line following the parenting skills of Gomez and Morticia as they deal with their daughter Wednesday's new found love with "normal" Ohioan Lucas Beineke. This results in Lucas and his parents coming over for dinner to meet the Addams including Grandma, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and Lurch. A seemingly innocent game at dinner turns into a tell-all secrets tragedy that causes every person's world to turn upside down with the new disclosures. In the end all turns out well, everyone loves everyone and the audience is left with an enjoyable evening of Addams antics.
Douglas Sills (Gomez) and Sara Gettelfinger (Morticia) have really found the perfect nuances and ability to accurately play these famous "lively" characters from the TV show of the same name. Their vocals and comedic timing only add to the comedy that audiences are sure to expect from the Addamses. The two parents play extremely well off each other, with Sills utilizing takes to the audience and silence to really play up the funny dialogue. Gettelfinger has the power of the stare and sarcastic delivery to make an ordinary line into an hilarious bit. However, each find a time to show their Broadway experience and not just play the comedy. Sills' solo to his daughter Wednesday in "Happy/Sad" is a very tender moment, and Gettelfinger has some fun with "Secrets" when explaining how a marriage is supposed to work.
Blake Hammond (Uncle Fester) has one of the hardest jobs in that he has to make an iconic character work when the writers of the musical have horribly converted his part to the stage. Fester is given awkward moments in which he sometimes narrates to the audience, but these are sporatic and not really well motivated. Then, in act 2 Fester is given "The Moon and Me" which has to be one of the most useless song I have ever seen in a show. Other than giving a fabulous actor a chance to sing, it does nothing for the plot. Hammond does his best to make it adorable, and seeing him elevated on stage is a fun spectacle to watch, but it does not save the awkwardness of the song.
Pippa Pearthree (Grandma) and Patrick D. Kennedy (Pugsley) each have moments of adorable comedy. Pearthree has a wonderful turn in "Full Disclosure" and Kennedy brings the audience to an endearing 'awwwwwww' when his song "What If" comes in Act 1. He laments regarding his sister's new found love, and hopes that that does not interfere with her torturing of him as a sibling. It showcases this young actors' great voice and mature understanding of making a dramedy (drama-comedy) song work. Tom Corbeil is a memorable Lurch, being a solid mover when the company is engaging in dance in the opening "When You're an Addams", and then surprisingly belting out some notes at the end bringing the audience to a well-deserved laughter and applause.
Brian Justin Crum (Lucas Beineke) and Cortney Wolfson (Wednesday) gave the audience a beautiful love story to root for throughout the night. Their pinnacle duet "Crazier Than You" is a well-staged and well-sung number that also bring the Beineke parents (Gaelen Gilliland as Alice and Martin Vidnovic as Mal) a time to shine and rekindle their love as well. However, Wolfson is the true stand out in this production. Her stellar vocals and performance in "Pulled" leave the audience wanting more and more. Every time Wolfson opens her mouth it's either for a glorious note or a love struck line. She works well with her co-stars and does so with elegance and in true Addams form.
The Ancestors ensemble has their time, but is also another awkward element of the show. Their purpose of the story is to help Wednesday and Lucas fall in love; however, they only fulfill this purpose twice in the show. They are fun to watch in numbers such as "Tango de Amor" and "The Moon and Me" but most of the time are sort of awkwardly just "there" on stage for no real reason. Other times it seems that their presence is forced just so the actors have something to do. At times having the Ancestors takes away from following the point of a song or the story itself.
Overall The Addams Family is worth the ticket price. I laughed quite a bit throughout the night, and the leads did their job honoring this beloved family. It plays for a little while longer at the Pantages and then continues its tour. Go see it and be ready to snap along with the orchestra. Go see a show!

{FAQ} Top Gamers' Club (TGC)
What is the TOP GAMERS CLUB (TGC)?
The TGC is a service and benefits club oriented exclusively toward our top gamers. We founded the TGC to provide extra long-term support for these players.
What benefits will I gain as a TGC member?
TGC members receive:
• personal support by the TGC Care team• regular newsletters• exclusive items• in-game surprises• unpublished preview info• exclusive offers from partners• special sweepstakes• and much more
How do I become a TGC member?
TGC members are our top users and are selected automatically. The selection process is conducted on a regular basis. The most loyal, industrious and active gamers are thus potential candidates for invitation to the TGC at any time.
Acceptance into the TGC will be based on various criteria, such as game status, in-game purchases and friend invites.
The longer you remain active, the better your chances of being selected!
One more thing: You need to have a valid email address! If your address ends up on our server's 'blacklist' because our mails to you bounce back or you unsubscribe from the newsletter, then we cannot accept you into the TGC. In that case you'll have to reactivate your address first. Please contact Support for more on this.
Does membership cost anything?
No, membership is free and requires no commitment.
How can I find out whether I'm a TGC member?
As soon as players are accepted into the TGC, they'll receive a welcome email containing all of the essential information.
How long does a TGC membership last?
The TGC membership lasts as long as the member still meets the eligibility criteria. If that changes, then we'll send you information about any changes well ahead of time by email.
How can I contact TGC Care?
Members are automatically forwarded to the Care team as soon as they click on the Support button when using a TGC account.
How long does it take until the announced items or newsletter arrive?
Top priority will be given to sending the newsletter and booking the items, although it nevertheless can take some time. We're grateful for your patience here. Do also be sure to check in your Spam folder to see if the newsletter has landed there. If you've not already done so, please set your Spam filter to prevent labeling emails from firstname.lastname@example.com as Spam.
How often are the newsletters sent out?
The welcome email is sent one time to new TGC members. Thereafter members receive the regular newsletters.
When will I start receiving the TGC discounts?
As a new TGC member you'll start benefitting immediately from the benefits described here. All promotions, preview info and items are then tied to the respective newsletter.
My data (such as user name) is not up to date. Is this an error?
We're constantly working to ensure that we're working with up-to-date information. It can sometimes take up to two weeks before the latest profile changes are shown.

These Christmas 'Shoes' Keep on Walkin'
Third film based on Donna VanLiere's holiday novels to air 12/13 on Lifetime
I expected something cheesy with a bit of eye-rolling schmaltz, especially since it was destined for the Lifetime Network. And though the flick certainly is guilty on both counts, it's also a sweet, loving story of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances. It kept my attention all the way through, and I cared about the characters at the center of the story, even when things were predictable. How could you not care about a recently orphaned little girl who has no place to turn for Christmas?
Some of the direction and swelling music is emotionally manipulative, but hey, this is the Lifetime Movie Network. But it's 99 minutes well spent for the family, and good fodder for discussing how we might care for the lost and lonely, the widow and the orphan at a time we're celebrating Christ's birth, live, and gift of love.
The Christmas Hope premieres Sunday, Dec. 13, at 8 p.m. Eastern--immediately following a 4 p.m. screening of The Christmas Shoes and a 6 p.m. showing of The Christmas Blessing, parts 1 and 2 of VanLiere's popular holiday stories.

The Final Four is set and the Kentucky Wildcats are a part of it for the second straight year. The Wildcats are the only team in the Final Four that have won every single tournament game by double digits. Their smallest margin of victory was 12 points. They defeated Indiana and Baylor both by 12, but the Baylor game was never close. John Calipari joked after the game that he stupidly told his team to let off the gas a little near the end of the contest.

Cedric Jacquet was born in 1968, graduated as an MBA then started a career in Information Technology. His passion for photography only really started during a 6-month trip from Zanzibar to Cape Town, back in 1993. Despite wanting to establish themselves in Namibia, Cedric and his girlfriend
returned to Belgium, got married, and resumed their jobs (IT consultant).
But a few years later their passion for photography prooved stronger, and they both became professional free-lance photographers in 2003.
While Elyane favored portrait and travel photography, Cedric preferred nature and wildlife photography. A complementarity that is a real asset, as it enables them to offer comprehensive coverages of their destinations. After replacing their old Land Rover with an expedition truck, they have now started a series of trips to Southern Africa.
Paradoxically, Cedric's favorite subjects are waterbirds, and deserts ; his favorite 'hunting grounds': shores, river deltas & lakes in most of Europe, as well as in Africa, central and South America.
He has won many prizes at international photography awards in France, Belgium and the United Kingdom. Author of the book "C'est Beau Près De Chez Vous", his work has been published in many countries, and is distributed by picture agencies in Europe, Asia and America.
Finally, Cedric has lectured on photography at the Royal Academy of Arts of Antwerp, at the Natural History Museum in London, ... He also occasionally works with Adobe on photo-editing software development.

Jinafire LongComments0
this wiki
|Jinafire Long
|1500 scales
|I do not currently have a pet because it is a decision that takes many years for a dragon to make. I have narrowed my list down to 50 so I expect that in another couple hundred years I'll have a top 20.
|Skelita Calaveras and Clawdeen Wolf
|Read the full profile
|Two Available
Jinafire Long is a dragon from Fanghai (Shanghai, China). She debuted in "Scaris: City of Frights".
She is voiced by Stephanie Sheh in English.
Jinafire is a traditional eastern dragon with golden scales, green and black hair, and jade green eyes. She appears to be wearing a qipao dress with dragon patterns and high heels. She says in her profile that she likes to fire up traditional fashions with sharp cuts and fierce accessories.
Jinafire is a strong-willed, fiery, brave, and fashion forward ghoul. Her profile hints at a hot temper, but she is portrayed in the webisodes and Scaris: City of Frights TV special as clever, patient when she is not directly affected by the situation, and focused on her work. Her specialty is metalworking because of her ability to breathe fire.
She has a competitive spirit which shows up in Scaris and at Monster High. In the webisode "Tough As Scales" she reveals that this is because of her childhood spent competing with seven brothers. In Scaris, she is so focused on the great opportunity to study under Moanatella Ghostier that she is not as friendly to Clawdeen as Skelita when they first meet. Her sketchbook also shows that she can get so absorbed in her work that she sometimes forgets to calm down and see the beauty in life. She puts a lot of pressure on herself to do her best, getting frustrated when her work isn't just right.
Her temper flares up in her sketchbook and in the book Ghoulfriends Just Want to Have Fun. In her sketchbook, she writes about a time that she became so frustrated with one of her pieces of art that she melted it. She was embarrassed to learn that her teacher witnessed the whole episode. In the book, she confronts Cleo and Toralei having a loud fight about the upcoming Hex Factor Talon Show. When wise advice fails to calm them down, she sets fire to their drinks because she views them as immature and rude. Even during this outburst, she maintains a very calm demeanor.
Jinafire comes from a household confirmed in "Tough As Scales" to consist of her, her father, and seven brothers. Some time before going to Scaris, she already left her home to move in with her fashion design teacher for optimal education, as detailed in Jinafire Long's sketchbook.
Her bio states that her best friends are Skelita Calaveras and Clawdeen Wolf. These friendships are formed in Scaris, and they all share a love of fashion design. After their adventures in Scaris, both Jinafire and Skelita transfer to Monster High, where it is revealed in Ghoulfriends Just Want to Have Fun, they live together in the dorms in the Chamber of Hairy and Scary.
Jinafire might own Qing a qilin, but on her website profile she states that "I do not currently have a pet because it is a decision that takes many years for a dragon to make. I have narrowed my list down to 50 so I expect that in another couple hundred years I'll have a top 20."
- June 21, 2012: Amazon puts up a list of upcoming doll lines, revealing the existence of Jinafire Long. Possibly taking this as a 'Go', photos of the dolls are released by Monster High Parents. Mattel responds immediately with an order to Amazon to remove the listings and a grand scale internet order to remove the images on account of copyright infringement. Evidently, the information was not yet to be revealed.
- June 26, 2012: Mattel requests the trademark for Jinafire Long.
- July 13, 2012: Jinafire Long is preview-introduced at San Diego Comic-Con International.
- July 13, 2012: Jinafire Long's profile art is revealed.
- November 13, 2012: Mattel introduces Jinafire Long fully on Facebook and Tumblr.
- Mid November, 2012: Jinafire Long's debut doll is released as part of the Scaris: City of Frights series.
- December 13, 2012: Jinafire Long's profile is published on the Monster High website.
- March 03, 2013: Jinafire Long makes her 3D cartoon debut in "Scaris: City of Frights".
- April 02, 2013: Jinafire Long makes her Ghoulfriends book debut in Ghoulfriends Just Want to Have Fun.
- April 04, 2013: Jinafire Long makes her 2D cartoon debut in "Tough As Scales".
- Jinafire is based on the travels through Asia of Rebecca Shipman, the designer.[1]
- "Jinafire" is a play on the name "Jennifer", with "jin" ("金") being the character for "gold" or "money" in several Asian languages, which ties into Jinafire's skin color, and "fire", as Jinafire is a dragon (though Chinese dragons are associated with water rather than fire). "Long" is the Chinese and Vietnamese word for "dragon".

The CHIKARA Special 2.07.10: The Cat's Out Of The Bag
Posted by
Kevin Ford
on 02.07.2010
That's a Lince Dorado joke alright! We'll talk about him, the results of "A Touch Of Class", and two independent wrestling promotions with CHIKARA tie-ins that made big announcement's recently.
Hello everyone and welcome back to the CHIKARA Special. Like many of you, I am enduring this epic blizzard on the East Coast. But I've got my space heater, beer, and stack of wrestling DVDs to keep me warm. To help keep you warm, I present to you this brief recap of CHIKARA's season premiere event as well as news on another trios tournament that affects King of Trios
The cat's out of the bag – Lince Dorado joins BDK
Last Sunday, CHIKARA's 2010 season premiere "A Touch Of Class" took place. There were many questions going into this show, but the primary one that everyone wanted answered was who the eighth and final member of the Brüderschaft was. Of course, we got our answer.
As predicted by many (yours truly included), Lince Dorado pulled the ol' switcharoo on his buddies The Future is Now and Quackenbush, turning on them and joining the Brüderschaft. Lince's motives weren't hidden. Since winning the 2008 King of Trios, the fans have absolutely loved to boo and admonish Lince at every turn. When he loses, gets hurt, the fans cheer. No matter how hard Lince works (and admittedly he's a much better wrestler now than when he won King of Trios), he'll always be seen as "that guy CHIKARA shoves down our throats" and not get the credit he deserves. On top of the fans disapproval, Lince was not happy with Jigsaw leading the Future Is Now stable comprised of Lince, Equinox, and Helios. In Lince's defense, the group seemed to do just fine without Jigsaw and since then The Future Is Now has gone winless as a group. Lince seemed to feel slighted and almost embarrassed that Jigsaw felt the need to take them under his wing, as if they weren't good enough without him. Fed up with the fans and with The Future Is Now, it was easy to detect something wasn't right with Lince. This jump was seen from miles away and does wonders for Lince and the Brüderschaft. The Future Is Now somewhat side idly by in this whole mess. They were not present when the Brüderschaft melee went down at the season finale. However, Jimmy Olsen explained in a blog that they were busy tending to Lince (Lince was dumped head first on the ring steps during his match with Player Dos). Equinox also revealed that it was Pinkie Sanchez who put him out of action during practice. With Lince and Pinkie enemies of The Future Is Now, they find themselves in the thick of the action too.
The Brüderschaft made their full-fledged debut as a unit on this show. The Brüderschaft had four matches on the card, and they swept the board by claiming victories in all of them. Pinkie "Pink Ant" Sanchez destroyed Green Ant to embarrass the Colony. Sara Del Ray & Daizee Haze defeated former Campeones de Parejas The Osirian Portal to pick up their first point towards title contention. Tim Donst defeated Player Dos to become the new Young Lions Cup champion. And of course, the four man team of Claudio Castagnoli, Ares, Tursas, and Lince Dorado defeated Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw, Equinox, and the man who filled Lince's place, Eddie Kingston. The Brüderschaft certainly made a statement on this show and don't plan to slow down any time soon.
Yes, I said Eddie Kingston filled Lince's spot. In fact, a YouTube video was posted shortly after this show where Kingston explains why he filled the spot
The dynamic I've said about Kingston before is that he's like the big brother. He'll pick on and name call his younger brother all he wants, but if someone else does it, he'll kick their ass. Kingston is the older brother to CHIKARA. He'll pick on it all he wants, but deep down he takes pride knowing that he's a Wrestle Factory graduate and that he helped bring CHIKARA to the limelight. If anyone's going to bring down CHIKARA, Kingston would do it himself before he let anyone else have at it.
Of course, there were four other matches on the show. Hallowicked defeated his old rival Brodie Lee who is on his own. The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple defeated three ROH students (Pelle Primeau, Grizzly Redwood, and Andy Ridge) to build momentum towards King of Trios. Create-A-Wrestler confirmed that Dasher Hatfield is here to stay, as he, Sugar Dunkerton, and Player Uno defeated The UnStable. Finally in the main event, The Colony successfully defended their Campeones de Parejas against Icarus and Gran Akuma of F.I.S.T.
On hand for the night was a brand new ring announcer
Jakob Hammermeier
, who introduces the Brüderschaft in German. Don't worry though, Louden Noxious is still around to announce as well. Except, he's now known as
Gavin Loudspeaker
, which I believe was a name Louden may have previously gone by. We saw that Create-A-Wrestler went through some glitches due to being electrocuted on an episode of the CHIKARA Podcast-A-Go-Go. Louden experienced the same electrocution, so it's likely that this change in identity could be as a result of that incident.
Here's a recap of the results from the show, thanks to CHIKARA themselves:
1) Pinkie "Pink Ant" Sanchez defeated Green Ant in 12:49 with a burning hammer variation.
2) Create-A-Wrestler (who came out during the match at certain points as both Ultimo Breakfast and Dasher Hatfield), Sugar Dunkerton, and Player Uno defeated The UnStable (Vin Gerard, STIGMA, & Colin Delaney) when Dasher hit Colin with the Grand Slam in 10:01.
3) Sara Del Rey & Daizee Haze defeated The Osirian Portal (Amasis & Ophidian) when Sara hit a bridging German Suplex on Ophidian in 7:21.
4) Hallowicked defeated Brodie Lee in 8:14 with the Rydeen Bomb.
5) The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (Ultramantis Black, Crossbones, & Delirious) defeated Pelle Primeau, Grizzly Redwood, and Andy Ridge when Mantis hit the Praying Mantis Bomb on Ridge in 9:48.
6) Tim Donst defeated Player Dos to win the Young Lions Cup when Dos submitted to the Inverted CHIKARA Special in 13:36.
7) The Brüderschaft (Claudio Castagnoli, Ares, Tursas, and Lince Dorado) defeated Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw, Equinox, and Eddie Kingston when Claudio low-blowed Kingston and school-boyed him in 14:32.
8) The Colony retained the Campeones de Parejas two falls to one against F.I.S.T. (Icarus & Gran Akuma).
Another trios tournament?
If you're like me, you're getting pumped for the 2010 CHIKARA King of Trios tournament coming April 23rd to the 25th in South Philly. Out of sixteen teams to be in the tournament, five have been announced: F.I.S.T., The Colony, The UnStable, The Future Is Now, and Team Frightning (Mike Quackenbush & Incoherence). Underwhelming, as the REAL excitement comes from what outside teams are going to come in.
Although no outside teams have been announced, Absolute Intense Wrestling has announced its "Jack of All Trios" tournament to take place on April 9th and 10th in Cleveland, OH. So far the first team announced are CHIKARA favorites
The Soul Touchaz!
The Soul Touchaz competed and got over with the crowd instantly back at King of Trios 2008, with impressive showings against Team BSE from Canada, and Team F.I.S.T. They would return at the Young Lions Cup and CHIKARA's Midwest debuts in 2008, as well as King of Trios 2009. The Jack of All Trios tournament is their golden ticket into the 2009 tournament. It should be made that this tournament is going to crossover into CHIKARA, meaning that any participating teams in the Jack of All Trios tournament that do not win will most assuredly not be in King of Trios.
Who else will be in the tournament? The Ohio wrestling scene is certainly a bustling one, especially now. Certain guys like Jon Moxley, Johnny Gargano, Flip Kendrick, and Louis Lyndon are consistently being used in promotions like EVOLVE and Dragon Gate USA. There also seems to be an association between AIW and Beyond Wrestling, who utilizes wrestlers like Chris Dickinson (also in EVOLVE, and who beat Gran Akuma just a few weeks back in AIW) and Faith In Nothing (who consistently work AAW and beat Hallowicked and Jigsaw a few weeks back in AIW). Other Ohio locals include Hailey Hatred, Zane Silver, Eric Alverado, Bobby Beverly, and teams like Alpha Beta Duke and Da Latin Crime Syndicate. There's no shortage of names in that area, and with the AIW roster being only about 30 guys deep, you know there will be some outside guys coming in for this tournament as well.
Who's going to step up and be "Team AIW" in King of Trios 2010? Keep your eyes peeled on
Absolute Intense Wrestling's website
and this column to find out.
Also making a big announcement was Interspecies Wrestling, who is coming back to the United States on April 3rd with "Slamtasia 3". Interspecies Wrestling first full-fledged U.S. show was back in August and had plenty of CHIKARA regulars on the card. There return will be no different, as already confirmed are Player Uno, Pinkie Sanchez, and Eddie Kingston (making his ISW debut). I highly encourage people to go to
Interspecies Wrestling's website
and check them out, they're loads of fun.

Occupy Wall Street Had A Big Concert Yesterday, And It Proved That Things Have Changed
Robert Johnson — Business Insider
We devoted the most time to the concert, where around 300 people stood smiling in the cold. Joan Baez was headlining, and it seemed like a good opportunity for pictures.
But it ended up being much more— because it was there that we noticed something had happened to Occupy Wall Street without it trying, and perhaps without it knowing. The amorphous movement had become a structured thing.
In the early days, we would enter the park and ask questions. We would receive answers, but they were without authority. 'Well, this is what you should know, but I am no one to tell you. We all speak for each other in this place.'
Now it's different. Occupy Wall Street now has a structure and a culture all its own, developed rapidly though the use of technology, the confrontation of adversity, and self-imposed isolation. They do, after all, live in a park on their own.
On Veteran's Day it all showed.
An official with the authority to speak for the movement told us how they planned their concert. Over a day and half, they got a permit from the city— their first— and used connections they'd developed through their work to draw musicians whose music spoke to the occupation; Musicians like Stephen Said, who urged listeners to "occupy music" and liberate it from "the Wall Street music companies that have kept our generations music off the air for 20 years."
They confirmed that Joan Baez performed at 1 p.m. and opened the show.
She is a musician and a celebrity that belongs to everyone. But Occupy Wall Street now has celebrities all its own; celebrities like Max Rameau of Take Back The Land, who said eloquently, "when the banks say foreclosed, we say fore-opened...we will elevate housing to a human right...we can, in our lifetime, change power relations between human beings and corporations forever."
And then there's former Marine Sgt. Shamar Thomas, the Iraq war veteran who's become famous after he was videotaped yelling at the NYPD for using abusive tactics against civilians during Occupy Times Square.
See the pictures of Foley Square >
The video has drawn over 3 million hits on YouTube, and Thomas, a man who studied criminal justice in hopes of becoming motivational speaker and councilor for young gang members in high schools, is speaking on radio and television shows, and making public appearances nation-wide.
Thomas spoke to the crowd humbly without airs or graces. He told us that he decided to speak out because of his experience with the police after coming home from the Middle East.
As an imposing black man he was targeted by police at home in Brooklyn for random searches and fabricated arrests, and when he saw what was happening at Occupy Wall Street he turned to a friend and said: "If I see them hit somebody again I'm going to do something about it."
So he did.
He still upholds the values of the occupation. He believes their message is solid and strong and that naturally, in time, more people would understand. In terms of politics he said, "I want the people to control everything. I don't trust anyone now, I just want to focus on the movement."
That focus has made him famous, but it won't make him rich. This he knows, and he doesn't care. "I've been poor before this," he said. It was around that moment that a supporter reached out, shook his hand, and beamed at Thomasa as if he were meeting the President.

Source: SCR Dairy
Ten years ago, Brent Moyer would never have imagined he'd be tracking the minutes a cow spends chewing her cud and using that data to make key herd-management decisions. But today, Moyer, manager of Paramount Dairy in Caro, Michigan, is a firm believer in rumination monitoring and its impact on decisions that positively impact the herd's production and profitability.
Moyer says the unprecedented insight into cow health and reproductive status rumination monitoring offers enables him to manage the 1,200-cow herd in a way he never thought possible. He uses the data in three key ways:
1. Early Indicator of Health Status
Moyer draws on rumination monitoring to identify sick cows before they show visual symptoms and before a drop in milk production occurs.
The dairy has been monitoring rumination for about a year, and Moyer and his staff have come to rely on rumination data as an efficient early warning system for potential interventions. Because rumination activity drops before an animal becomes sick or at the time of estrus, it's an excellent indicator for individual cow performance, feed quality and cow well-being. Most cows ruminate between 450 and 500 minutes per day, but individual cows ruminate at different rates.
2. Greater Insight into Transition Cow Management
Tracking rumination information has helped expedite decisions involving fresh-cow care, decreasing the time and labor involved in pulling aside cows for treatment so that these animals receive the attention they need more quickly. This also reduces time away from feed and freestalls.
"Our biggest benefit is not necessarily pulling fewer sick cows a day, but we're doing it in less time. We don't have to walk through eight different pens and visually identify cows that need our attention," Moyer says. "I think it's an added benefit to the cow because she can go from the parlor right back to eating and lying down. She doesn't have to wait for us to check an entire group of animals."
3. Improved Reproductive Management
Better breeding decisions also have resulted from monitoring rumination. One key decision was the elimination of visual heat detection on the farm. Now, decreased rumination activity, coupled with increased cow activity, is used to determine when cows should be bred.

One of the first original works Wilson read was "U.S. Defends Afghan Village Bombing," a poem whose title was drawn from an actual newspaper headline. He later explained, "I try to write a political poem. I am conscious of the social context of my poems." This attitude was evident in subsequent works such as "Customs," which was inspired by traveling with a Saudi Arabian friend who was consistently hassled at airports.
Besides being aware of the social context of his poetry, Wilson is also conscious of the people he writes about. "Im interesting in people who are kind of unsung," he said. That interest was evident in poems such as "Uncle Frank and Little Rock Joan," inspired by Wilsons real Uncle Frank, and "Elegy for The Saint of Letting Small Fish Go," which was one of the most powerful poems he read. In the latter, Wilson tackles the subject of a child suffering from serious burns, writing, "Where were you saints when the fire first licked his hands?/Hadnt he in living prayed to you?"
After reading several more poems centered around heavy subjects, Wilson declared, "Heres something a little more upbeat," and read "The Final Words of the Uhh Man," a poem inspired by the idea of a funk singer whose only role was to say "uhh."
Of his transition from serious to light-hearted works, Wilson later said, "Normally I want to start with more serious poems and then read light-hearted stuff, because if you read your light-hearted stuff first then theyll start laughing at your elegies." He ended the night by reading "Passion," a poem about destroying his sisters Barbie dolls, and "Minnesota Cant Complain," a crowd-pleasing friendly jab at life in his adopted home state.
Wilsons real home state is Virginia, where he grew up in "a family of professors" and got his undergraduate degree in American literature from Old Dominion University. He then went on to earn his Ph. D. in critical theory from the University of Alabama, where he began to seriously write poetry four or five years ago. "I was in an atmosphere of poetry," he explained, "so I generated a lot of it."
According to Wilson, an atmosphere of poetry is crucial to the success of aspiring poets. "What you need is a workshop of people who read your work," he explained. "What you need is a mean bastard friend and someone like your mom, and between the two, you just keep writing." His other advice to young poets is thoroughly grounded in the real world: "I wouldnt recommend anyone be a poet," he said. "Its preposterous you need to love it more than you like money or reason. Its an unfortunate habit."
