De la Renta helped define U.S. fashion
New York — At his Fashion Week runway show in September, Oscar de la Renta sat in his usual spot: in a chair right inside the wings, where he could carefully inspect each model just as she was about to emerge in one of his sumptuous, impeccably constructed designs.
At the end of the show, the legendary designer himself emerged, supported by two of his models. He didn't walk on his own, and didn't go far, but he was beaming. He gave each model a peck on the cheek, and then returned to the wings, where models and staff could be heard cheering him enthusiastically. »Read Full Article

Dasha Kelly's forthcoming book 'Almost Crimson' features a fierce little drawing by Milwaukee artist
When writer and spoken word artist Dasha Kelly posted the cover image for her forthcoming book, "Almost Crimson," to Facebook, all of the videos of dolphins cuddling cats and Candy Crush invitations fell away. This fierce work of art grabbed me.
The knot of delicate and angry marks bundled tight and balancing —teetering, really — above a churning, flame-red landscape had my full attention. It seemed to contain secrets, a sense of knowing. There was a story there, I thought. »Read Full Article

MKE's El-Shareef releases new EP: Nonchalant
El-Shareef is a staple here at the THHG headquarters (my moms garage). Whenever I get an email from this dude it's like Christmas, minus the bad sweaters and gift certificates to Fleet Farm; or is it Farm & Fleet? I'm going to have to do some research on that. Anyways, our good friend hit us with his new EP, Nonchalant. I always listen to El's music with the intention of being blown away but this time El outdid himself. My mind was blown after the first track. This is the type of grungy underground music all the backpackers and hip hop heads have been complaining about not hearing. To those people; I lay this album in your hands so you can no longer say there's no more good hip hop out there. I know you will still all complain but listen to it anyway.
Argentina demands 'Top Gear' apology from BBC
LONDON (AP) - Argentina's ambassador to Britain on Tuesday demanded an apology from the BBC over an ill-fated trip by car show "Top Gear" to the South American country.
The program's crew had to leave Argentina hastily last month after they faced violent protests for driving a car with license plate H982 FKL - interpreted by some as a reference to the country's 1982 war with Britain over the disputed Falkland Islands. »Read Full Article

Truman Posted December 3, 2012 By Tony Lucadamo The Warped Estate Richard Nixon's "Checker's Speech," September 23, 1952 First hand access to the daily life of President Obama has become the new hot ticket among political journalists. Americans have four more years of Democratic leadership. Correspondingly, they want to know more about thee somewhat shadowy figure pulling the strings inside the Oval Office. Just what is the Commander-in-Chief up to? Results have been mixed. Brian Williams chose the angle of fellow traveler on the campaign trail fairing on NBC's "Rock Center." From his travels, we garnered little, save for the fact that modern politicians fly quite a great deal. Michael Lewis, writing for Vanity Fair, added a piece of his own. Like Williams, much of the focus seemingly whiffed at a pitch that others might have taken a harder swing at. For instance, the Moneyball and Blind Side author spends an extended period of time covering Obama's Spartan taste in furniture. He then documents Obama's well-covered love of basketball in great detail. However, to say that his was nothing more than a puff piece undersells it. Indeed, there were some highly interesting moments to note. One in particular stuck out. Read more → Media and The Press Miller Center Resources Tweet

your self-esteem boost for the weekend
When we first moved into this house, we noted that the previous owners had added a few design flourishes which were a little bit, shall we say, rococo for our tastes. Some of them came down immediately--the full wall mirrors in several areas, the gold-painted mirror flanked by a roulade and cherub motif in the half bathroom. But some of the others, like the gold (colored) doorknobs on the French doors throughout, while not quite my taste, seemed innocuous and certainly functional enough.
The problem with these doorknobs, I've found, is that I keep getting hooked on them. Not anyone else, just me. Everyone else in this house is either tall enough or short enough to avoid this particular problem, but at my height (5'2" and a half--and if you don't think that half inch is important, you much be much taller than 5'2") these doorknobs all over the house are right at waist height. Belt loop height, to be exact. I keep getting hooked on these doorknobs. And you would think that it's easy enough to unloop oneself, but look at that doorknob a little closer. The loop is a little bit spiralled, like a nautilus. Like one of those barbed fishooks. And once you get hooked, it's actually unusually difficult to extricate yourself.
Yesterday, I went to Costco to do some grocery shopping. We had a nice time in Orlando, but when we came home the food situation in the larder was a little bare-bones, and breakfast that morning was somewhat thin, which inexplicably panicked the kids. (Under normal circumstances I don't think they'd have any trouble with a breakfast of cereal and milk, but the fact that that's all there was to eat suddenly had them eyeing the USDA food pyramid and acting like we were the Joads in Dust Bowl Americana or some such thing.) So anyway, I went to Costco and stocked up on, whatever, a coffin-sized flat of strawberries, cinder-block sized bricks of cold cuts, the like--and headed back to the house to stick the perishables in the fridge before heading out again to pick up the kids from school.
Only, as usual, I got hooked on the doorknob. One of my back belt loops. And I had turned the home security alarm on before I'd left for the store, so now that was counting down the 40 seconds or however much time I had to punch in my code until the alarm went off. I calmly laid down my drum of peanut butter and body-bag-sized sack of raisins and went about calmly disentangling myself, only to grow increasingly less calm as the second continued to tick by and I was still caught on the spiral of the doorknob hook. Looking at it straight on, it seems like it should be easy enough, but looking at it from above and behind, for some reason I couldn't get my belt loop out.
The forty seconds elapsed, and now the external security alarm started to go off with a loud whoop whoop whoop sound which, in theory, would bring the police (or at the very least, a local citizen militia) running to help defend the old homestead. I began to panic. I had to turn off that alarm, but the security pad was at least ten feet away on the far wall of the kitchen. Plan A, the straightforward plan, was not working, so I thought: my pants. If I can't get my pants out of the doorknob, I had to take off my pants instead.
So I took off my shoes. I undid my top pants button and unzipped the fly. As I started to shimmy out of my pants it occurred to me that if someone did show up to investigate the alarm, what they'd find would be a pair of beige corduroys hanging from my kitchen door, and me, pantsless, standing in a scattered pile of bulk pistachio nuts, BUT NEVER MIND ABOUT THAT NOW, JUST TURN OFF THE ALARM, DUMBASS.
It took a little while longer to realize that it's actually pretty difficult to take off your pants if you can't pull your pants down--the pants were still hooked on the doorknob at waist-level, remember--when suddenly, I was free. Free! I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS, FUCKERS! What happened eventually was that the beltloop broke. Thank you, Gap Incorporated, for your shoddy tailoring. I hurriedly punched in the security code, stopped the alarm, and waited for the security company to call and make sure that I was OK, just like in all those commercials where the dark-clothed, stocking capped burglar (in broad daylight, like, nice camoflage job, guy) inexplicably tries to break into that house in where the mom and her daughter are baking cookies or whatnot else wholesome and good.
The security company never checked in, by the way. And while, yes, there was no real emergency, it was just me, my pants, and an over-designed doorknob, for all they know, I COULD BE DEAD. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that no one in this densely populated neighborhood came around to witness my shame, I can't quite decide yet.

Haha! We have those same godforsaken door handles from the people who built the house, and coincidentally had the same horrible taste as the former owners of your house, and this happens to me all the time. (I'm 5'2" and a half as well.) It's always my belt loops. Or my purse. But nothing this hilarious has ever happened to me because of the door knobs and being the perfect height to get caught on them. You should consider writing another book, but this time on the funny things that happen to short people.ReplyDelete

Hilarious! I'm 171cm (not sure what that is in imperial - 5ft6 or so?) and the door jambs at my practice are EXACTLY my belt loop height - always so embarrassing when going out of the room to get something and getting yanked back by my pants - and there is ALWAYS a patient in the room when that happens! Eventually , the belt loops on all my pants broke..ReplyDelete
Being 5'7 is no antidote to this problem, trust me. Though, it's not usually my belt loops that get caught so much as my pockets.ReplyDelete

I LOVE your book by the way...I finished it in a week, I couldn't put it down. I kept trying to stop reading, to make it last a little longer...and well, just didn't have the self-control.
I could not have said it better myself ... I am 5'1 1/2" and any person who scoffs at that extra half inch is WAY taller than 5'1 1/2"!!! And our security system goes off if we close a cupboard door too heartily (overactive glass-breaking sensors) and yes, that is a pain.ReplyDelete

I have to say, there have been many times in my life when I have read something at which others are laughing hysterically, only to find that it is mildly amusing, or even sort of stupid. This was NOT one of those times. I was in the waiting room of an autism therapy office at the time and I was laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face. I had to leave and go to the car to collect myself.ReplyDelete
Michelle, you're absolutely hilarious! The fact that it has happened to me too is why I'm laughing even harder. My 4 year old cracked up when he saw me stuck one day, and watching mommy trying to untangle herself! I randomly re-checked your blog cause it's been a long time. I've just reemerged into the world after studying for my Boards. I haven't read your posts about studying for your Boards, but I'm sure you can understand my extreme stress of memorizing everything under the sun, but yet nothing sticking cause now I'm no longer just a single medical student hiding in the library, but now between a full time job and 3 boys 4 and under, it's just absolutely impossible to study. Well, reading your blog reminded me also I need to pick up your book. It will be my first pleasurable read after I put away all my Boards study materials :)ReplyDelete

I just came back from visiting my parents. Their house only has those door handles, but I guess enough people have been caught in the swirly part over the years because the swirls on their door handles are filled. The filled part is recessed so the swirl design still show up but lessen the pants-catching effect.ReplyDelete
I thought of this post and had a little chuckle to myself and thanked all the folks that must have sent in complaints to the manufactures to cause the design change...
I just found you and I laughed so hard. Drum of peanut butter...body bag of raisins...shoddy tailoring...I am dying. I am your newest fan. I may be up all night catching up on all the posts I have never read from you.ReplyDelete

Where are our bookmarks?ReplyDelete
I know that you offered them to us to entice us to pre-order your books in order to get your first week sales as high as possible and to make more money off of it and that you are busy, but it's been over half a year and it's getting kind of ridiculous. And you wonder why people in the readers' comments section of the NYTimes speak ill of selfish, money-grubbing doctors like you.

Anon @ 5:55PM: Take it easy. Maybe it hasn't fully occurred to you that Michelle is also Dr. Au,and works long hours.ReplyDelete
We don't know why Michelle hasn't blogged in months (this is unlike her); have you thought that MAYBE just MAYBE it is possible that there MIGHT be a crisis of some sort that MIGHT be more important than sending out bookmarks to readers? Or are you such a self-absorbed jerk that you don' t care.
Michelle: Happy New Year! I hope this year will be truly happy for you and your loved ones!
Girls who have low self-esteem generally go where society leads them. Unfortunately, the stakes are high if they mess up. "When girls who already have a low sense of self engage in any activity before they're ready, their Self Esteem for Teens plummets even more," says Beck. Often, such activity can be self-destructive or even harmful. The problem is that besides ruining their tween/teen years, these behaviors of Self Esteem for Teens tend to follow them into adulthood and affect their lives as a whole, then get passed on to the next generation.ReplyDelete

How To Hang a Wall of Pots
Home Hacks
After design school, I (Kayla) took up a hobby in ceramics. The only part I was ever any good at was glazing and, at the end of 3 years, I had an extensive collection of irreverently colorful, wonderfully imperfect, and mostly unusable bowls. Most of the glazes are not food-safe and the rest have cracked bases so, until now, they've lived quietly among us — stacked on shelves, sadly under-appreciated. But I love these bowls — particularly the colorful insides — so as Wes and I continued our living room makeover, we also began strategizing a way to install my bowls on the wall as abstract pieces of art.
• 1 The finished installation! So happy! Now let's look at how we did it...
• 2 The blank aubergine wall; Benjamin Moore Caponata (Affinity)
• 3 My little army of non-functioning ceramics
• 4 Planning the grid on the ground. Since the bowls themselves are very organic in their irregular shapes, sizes and colors, we thought a organized grid system would be an interesting contrast. We broke the rigidity of the grid however by making allowances for clusters of small bowls in random places.
• 5 Bacon eats and drinks out of 2 of my (few) water-tight, food-safe bowls so this was a little perplexing to him, seeing 30+ bowls on his floor.
• 6 The bowls are measured 9" from center to center in both directions on the grid. We measured and taped that grid on the wall so that we could easily eyeball the exact hanging of each bowl.
• 7 The magic product that made this art installation a reality is the adhesive plate hanger which uses a water soluble glue and is applied directly to the base of the bowls then left to harden overnight. Each bowl had to be weighed and have its base measured to determine the appropriate size disc (about half use the 1.25" disc, which holds up to 1 lb; half use a 2" disc, which holds up to 2 lbs). These things are incredibly strong and we have no fear of them releasing. If you did want to remove them, they completely release with no damage done when submerged in water.
• 8 Wes carefully hanging one bowl at a time, in order via planning pictures.
• 9 One bowl had to be replaced because the base was so irregular it was hanging too precariously on the wall. There are 3 others (pinch pots) that are stable enough but will need to be shimmed to hang properly against the wall.
• 10 Yea! The end result is wonderful and changes all day depending on the light, casting shadows like a bunch of mini sundials. All of the color really brings the purple wall to life, too.

Excellent! I made a couple of those bowls, myself, so I know how you HAVE to keep them... this is a really great use! Be proud!
unique and interesting. you appreciate the inside and outside of your pottery better this way.
i love it (despite the dust issues)
I love the pots idea.
The first picture is so lovely- everything is perfect except for the ikea locker thing in front of the mantle.
IF you had asked me, I would that thought that was a truly ridiculous idea. But I find it very appealing. And relaxing, in a way. And that really surprises me. Really works with the rest of what's going on in that room. Great job!
The end results looks amazing! I'm not really understanding the point of the dog photo (to show the scale of the bowls?), but I'm also charmed by your use of the singular! Wow, only one person took up ceramics? How unusual!
SOooooo Gorgeous. Love it!
What an awesome post and a great result!
I have several plates that I want to display on the wall and these hangers will be perfect for that use!
This is great. One question, though. The adhesive removes when submerged in water? How does that help you get them off the wall?
Great job - love the look of the finished piece.
The dog photo is there because dog people think everyone wants to see their dogs. Right?
But I do love the bowls. It brings the eye up nicely, sort of hiding the TV in plain sight.
i am totally stealing that idea of using the tape to make things line up (i usually just draw a line)... and i totally love the bowls, the overall affect is just beautiful - and it shows the artists creative past.
Kayla here with a small clarification on the hanging:
The adhesives are circular "discs" of fabric with a hook attached - the disc glues to the bottom of each bowl and the hook hangs the bowl on the wall using a nail.
Great idea and well done! Love it, the wall color, and Bacon.
missmouse - i think the adhesive attaches the hooks to the bowls, not the bowls to the wall - so you just remove each bowl from the nail it's hanging on and submerge in water to dissolve the glue
love the colors - reminds me of those log bowls i've been coveting ... :)
@missmouse - The adhesive part is only on the bowl (or pot or plate). There is a small metal loop build into the adhesive "pads" which can be used in a traditional way - nail, screw, hook, etc.
missmouse--From image #7, it looks like the adhesive plate hangers have a hook that allow you to hang from a nail. Couldn't tell for sure but I think these are all hanging from little nails.
i love the way this looks...completely transforms the wall & so unique. fabulous!
Thanks for such a great tutorial... easy to understand. Nice bowls. It's a great way to display them and not take up a lot of shelf space.
BTW - I'm a "dog person", so yeah, I appreciate the Bacon shot! Cute!
Love the wall color. I would be more interested in seeing the pots clustered together, rather than in a grid formation. There is room for flexibility, though, if you choose to do that.
What is the name and brand of both the gray and white wall colors. They blend so beautifully with the accent wall.
Beautiful! I want to steal this idea but, sadly, don't have that many cool bowls.
Looks great! Great house!
Love this installation, especially against that wall color. Love the dog pic, too!
Who needs a point for the dog shot? I imagine he did what my cats frequently do and just wandered into the shoot... some pets are just hams.
Love this idea, not least because I have some oddball pottery myself (FWIW yours is much better than mine!)
Pictures of Bacon are always welcome, and occassionally demanded :)
wow - this is great - love the color of the wall and love how the project turned out - the ceramics look great! i'd never heard of those adhesive plate hangers - wonder if they would work for baskets too? we have some african baskets that i've been wanting to hang on the wall, but can never figure out how to put them up so they don't tilt forward.
I'm not usually a fan of crockery on walls, but it is done so cleverly here, I'm really enjoying the look. Thanks for the post.
I think this looks beautiful. My only concern would be that eventually that sticky stuff connecting the ceramic to the hook will wear out and you'll hear a loud crashing sound (most likely in the middle of the night). I hope not though because I really like this. I just don't trust any type of sticky tape to hold heavy objects.
Thanks for posting this. I'd always wondered how the invisible hangers worked.
@Tiamat_the_Red: Sign up for a pottery class. You too might have, in only a matter of months, a similar collection (or you might be more talented and have usable pieces). Or you can come look under my guest bed. Or find a high-school art teacher.
(My best friend, a high-school art teacher, has years of accumulated student pottery that was left behind. She has started to imbed them upside down in her lawn, forming a terracotta pathway.)
I think this is beautifully executed.
Gorgeous, and such a clever way to display your collection! The dog -- eh, whatever. I come here for smart DIY solutions like this one!
I love this. Such beautiful interplay between the accent wall color, the trim color and the textures and colors of the pottery. It looks really fresh.
THis is so pretty and I'm so thankful for the tape idea! I've been measuring, pencilling and leveling a grid out on my poor wall to hang a symmetrical frame grouping and it's been a hassle! I do like the organized look of them but I could also see appreciating them in the form of that coffee filter installation post...you know what I'm talking about. Free flowing up a stair case wall. love the colors, love the pots, love it love it love it.
Beautiful, I am really knocked out by the textural quality, I found myself leaning into my computer screen to get a closer look. Great idea and stunning outcome. Bravo!
Kayla & Wes,
Brilliant idea and beautiful job!!
Whoa, great post, likes the contrasting dark wall...such a fresh idea, thanks for sharing! This is a real "apartmenttheraphy"!
Amazing job! It looks incredible.
One question - what's up with the title of the article? "a Wall of Pot(s)"? Are you uncertain as to the singular or plural nature of the pots?
Projects like this are why I read AT. This comes off as a highly personal take on installation art, thanks to the repetition/variation of each pot. Beautiful job, Wes and Kayla.
Love the look but most of all the tip about these adhesive hangers which, I presume, would work on odd teacups, too. Thanks a mil.
Kayla back, again -
Thanks for the compliments, all! We hoped this post would inspire folks to make the most of the objects we all seem to have lying around. A critical mass of anything usually creates an impressive visual when its all laid out together - makes the sum feel much greater than the individual parts.
We'd highly recommend these adhesive hangers for any type of ceramics or even wood or metal (it all depends on weight, really). We did remove the hook from the one bowl that didn't work out and after only 30 seconds submerged in water it came right off without a bit of residue.
If you embark on your own installation be sure to send us photos!
love it! i have also use those adhesive hangers with great success. i bought them from the container store.
the dog pic was the main reason why stopped to read the article!
oh haunted_studio now you're just being silly...
but it is true... Bacon is too cute... maybe he could be the AT mascot?
Kayla? Wes? Where are those hangers sold, please? I have a few brass leaf dishes (maybe they were meant to be ashtrays?) that would be nice to hang...
Sorry, the link is buried in the post. These particular hangers are sold in many stores (Container Store, as mentioned) but are the cheapest here:
and you're rewarded with a cheaper price when you purchase more (which helped us out here)
brilliant! congrats!
I get a lot of decorating magazines, and many, many, MANY of the spreads include a photo of the owners' dog or dogs lounging about against the decorating. Gotta say that as a dog lover, that always makes me linger a bit longer over the photo. :)
Great idea for the bowls, too. Now I'm thinking those disks would be perfect for hanging the gigantic collection of shoe lasts that I've been thinking would look great in a grid on one of my walls.
Wonderful idea, looks great!
Also, some of us do appreciate a little dog photo now and then!
It's gorgeous! I bought several of those adhesive back plate hangers, but have sadly not had a very good experience with them. Two of the three plates I hung came crashing to the floor after a few weeks.
Truly awesome.
How many times are you going to post this? I like the idea but this is the third time that I know of.
To quote Perez Hilton: brazilliant. Nice work.
I do like this, but why is this being recycled? Wasn't this on AT last year?
I believe it was also on a week ago.
Hand thrown bowls and pottery are beautiful. What a unique way to display them. Great idea!
I love the idea of using painters tape and a level to put your nails in.
Also will have to check out the adhesive disks.
I have only used wire or acrylic plate holders; curious how this would hold up for a heavier 12-14" plate or bowl.
I would hate to hang them only to have them crash and break.
That said, I've got a bunch of Japanese leaf and flower themed tiny plates; I'm going to get some of the disk holders for these and put them up.
That looks fabulous!! I really love the look especially against the purple wall.
I noticed this photo somewhere before (here @ AT?) and immediately saved it in my "idea" file because I found it so lovely. The colors are stunning, and it seems so elegant, yet warm.
I'm also pleased to find out how you attached these to the wall as I was wondering about that. I have some small Chinese bowls I wanted to put on the wall but I couldn't think of how to do so except in a box frame and that didn't feel right to me. This is so much more simple and immediate.
Now I need a "Team Bacon" shirt.
Brilliant. One of the best posts I've seen in a while.
I can't believe anyone would question including Bacon in the pictures. Bacon is our copilot.
Wow. A recycled post complete with recycled comments (from May, 2009). So much for "Home Hacks 2010."
The Wes and Kayla Show reruns are getting a bit tedious.
Boy, this is a tough room. Wish I had a couple of extra chill pills?
Thanks for rerunning this DIY. It still ranks as one of the cleverest ever. I still love it. I'm sure many of our new posters who weren't around in May of 2009 will be inspired. I am re-inspired. Thanks for the reminder.
it's sad how many of your books I recognize from their spines alone... love the pots though!

Antique Natural Pearl & Diamond Ring
Highly sought after and coveted, the natural pearl remains the pinnacle of the pearl world. No large bead lies beneath its lustrous sheen, as the pearl is all nacre except for a small bit of sand, shell or other irritant for which the glorious oyster to build upon. Before the remarkable Mr. Mikimoto patented his process for the cultured pearl back at the turn of the 20th century, the world knew only natural pearls (and those of glass and other imitations).
This 6.8 mm by 6.3 mm pearl sits at center of two old European cut diamonds. Each diamond weighs approximately .40 carats, one a J-K color, the other a K-L color, both with VS2-SI1. Fit for a connoisseur, the antique platinum mount is studded with tiny rose and single cut diamonds, thirty-eight (38) in all for a total estimated diamond weight of 1.1 carats. Circa 1920, the classic three stone configuration and the remarkable gems make this ring wearable for a lifetime.
Comes with GIA certificate for the pearl (see more details).
Date: Circa 1920.
Measurements: 1/4 of an inch (0.7 cm) in length north to south on the hand by 11/16 of an inch (1.7 cm) at the widest and rises 5/16 of an inch (0.8 cm) high off the finger. Weight of 4.0 grams (2.6 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6-1/2 (UK M-1/2; Int. Dia. 17; Euro 53.5 mm; Japan 13) and can be easily sized. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: Plat.
Condition: Excellent; light overall wear; a bit of glue in evidence to bottom of pearl.
Origin: American in origin.
Note 1: All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate as the stones have not been removed in order to preserve the integrity of the setting.
Note 2: GIA certificate for the pearl stating that it is a natural, saltwater pearl of the pinctada species.

EU Projects and Funding
European Commission's financial programmes are important tools for developing partnerships and policies in the Member States and with third countries.
Some examples of funding programmes - Prevention and fight against crime (ISEC); the Daphne Programme: Measures to combat violence against women, young persons and children; European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR); Thematic Programme Migration and Asylum - where actions against trafficking in human beings have been - and are - among the set priorities. Focus has been on support and training for the enactment of anti-trafficking legislation, investigation and prosecution and on support, protection and assistance to victims of trafficking in human beings.

Suggestion Box Comments and Responses
James A. Gibson Library
Suggestion Box Comments and Responses
October 6, 2014
COMMENT – You should make laptops available to be checked out online if there are already enough laptops in library.
RESPONSE - Thanks for your comment. Due to the high demand for a limited number of laptops, it is necessary to require users to bring them to the desk for renewal. This insures that users who may be waiting for a returned laptop have equal access. -- Barbara Whittard, Innovative System Coordinator / firstname.lastname@example.com
April 11, 2014
COMMENT - Thank you library staff for excellent customer service we receive every time when we come to the Circulation Desk in the evening. It is so important for us especially during this stressful exams time. Always helpful and friendly! Keep it up. Thank you.
RESPONSE - Thank you! Circulation and Help Desk staff are glad to provide assistance and try to be as helpful as possible particularly during this time of the year. Good luck on your exams. -- Ian Gordon, Head, Circulation Services
March 27, 2014
COMMENT – Why do library print/copy cards cost 5 dollars at the library desk and 1 dollar around the corner by the printers? That is a scam. What if you were new to Brock and didn't know?
RESPONSE - I assure you, it is not a scam: the cards from the self-serve machine cost $1, but do not have any value on them. It is up to the user to re-insert the card into the machine and add funds to the card. Users can purchase cards from the Circulation Desk that are already pre-loaded. So, for $5, a user gets a card with $4 on it. The extra $1 covers the cost of the card, just as at the self-serve machine. Furthermore, if a user brings an empty card to the Circulation Desk, they can pay $4 for a preloaded card (the $1 for the cost of the card is waived if a user has purchased a card already). Many users prefer to purchase cards at the desk, as they can pay with cash (not just coins), debit, or credit. It is never the case where a user pays $5 for an empty card from the Circulation Desk. -- Jonathan T. Younker, Head, Library Systems and Technologies
March 18, 2014
COMMENT – I find it frustrating when trying to book the graduate group study room and the library staff have it booked for a meeting. I believe you have offices for that reason. Please keep time slots available for actual graduate students.
RESPONSE – Thank you for your feedback. As we all have experienced, there is a lack of space on the Brock campus. We are required to maximize the use of space we have available to us. When the Graduate Student Meeting Room is not booked, it has been made available to library staff as a last resort for meeting space and has been used on occasion. We feel the frequency is acceptable at this time, but we will continue to monitor this to ensure its primary purpose is not compromised. -- Deb Kalvee, Associate University Librarian, Services & Facilities
February 14, 2014
COMMENT – When you are doing research online and checking a series of references, it is most irritating to be asked over and over again to log in as a registered student. Could not one's first log in remain valid for, say, at least 20 minutes.
RESPONSE - Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty accessing our resources from off-campus. There are many things that might be contributing to the problem you are facing and it is difficult to diagnose exactly what might be going wrong. One thing I can suggest is always start at the Library's home page before beginning your research. You'll be presented with a login box that asks for your portal account. Once that is entered, you should be able to access anything as if you were on campus.
If you are still having troubles connecting, please contact the Library Help Desk or me directly - 905-688-5550 ext. 5358 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks. -- Tim Ribaric, Digital Services Librarian
February 11, 2014
COMMENT – Upgrade change and print card machines please. It's hard to find old bills and running to Tim's all the time for change is silly.
RESPONSE - Thanks for your comment. We think it's silly, too, as well as frustrating. We had hoped to move to a campus-wide print/copy card solution by now, but delays with the payment gateway have dragged on at the finance level, and it's now looking like it won't be implemented until the summer. Why don't we replace/upgrade the print card machine and the change machine in the meantime? Because they'll cost more than $10,000 each, and we'd rather not spend that money for a short-term solution. We do have some workarounds that we're hoping to implement soon to alleviate some of these frustrations and silliness; keep your eyes open for changes. -- Jonathan Younker, Head, Library Systems and Technologies
February 3, 2014
COMMENT - Can you let us leave with the laptop over the weekend like before? We can't leave town to go home over the weekend if we don't own a laptop or a computer. Thank you.
RESPONSE - To accommodate the growing number of students requesting laptop loans Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays we had to limit laptop loan periods to 4 hours. We continue to allow overnight loans. -- Ian Gordon, Head, Circulation Services
January 24, 2014
COMMENT - Improve the stairwell. Plants, fresh paint, dusting, better lighting, art work, etc. Studies show improving stairwells by aesthetics increases their usage. This would help impove the weight/wait problem.
RESPONSE - We recognize the importance of maintaining and enhancing library space so that students want to spend time here, and we try our best to stretch the limited resources we have available to make it more comfortable and appealing. Currently there is almost a $100 million backlog in deferred maintenance that includes such projects as upgrading the stairwells so that they meet upcoming accessibility standards. I'm hopeful that sprucing up the surrounding space will be included. -- Deb Kalvee, Associate University Librarian, Services & Facilities
December 16, 2013
COMMENT – Why don't you install Firefox? Even Sakai is not optimized for Internet Explorer. Firefox is free so there's no excuse for why you don't.
RESPONSE - Thanks for the comment. We initially removed Firefox a few years ago when Mozilla was pushing critical updates on a weekly basis. This required our Systems Administrators to download and package the new version, remove the old versions, and reinstall on our 100+ public computers. We decided to install Chrome instead, as it had an automatic, background updater, and would not leave our users vulnerable if we didn't install critical updates in a timely manner. Now that Firefox has support for automatic updates, we will reinvestigate installing Firefox on our public computers. -- Jonathan T. Younker, Head, Library Systems and Technologies
December 10, 2013
COMMENT – I suggest you lend laptop chargers by themselves rather than forcing a student to take the entire laptop case with charger. This can increase the risk of damaging the laptop because if a student just needs a charger, s/he will not be using the laptop.
RESPONSE - Thank you for your comment. We have investigated providing laptop chargers for loan in the past, but determined it was unfeasible due to purchase costs and the numbers of possible laptop chargers on the market. In addition, the multi-chargers (laptop chargers with multiple connectors) have many small parts, are expensive, and would not be durable enough in this environment. -- Jonathan T. Younker, Head, Library Systems and Technologies
November 25, 2013
COMMENT – Is it possible to know where the laptops from last year went? There used to a lot of them. Can we bring them back to add to the new ones? There are not enough of them. Thank you.
RESPONSE - Thank you for your question. The laptops that were replaced were over 5 years old, and had hardware, software, and battery life issues, and are now in the Brock University-mandated redeployment process.
Those laptops were extremely labourious for Library Systems staff to maintain for everyday use. Prior to them being pulled out of circulation, roughly half of all laptops were in the repair queue at any given time. Due to limited budgetary resources available to the Library, it was not possible to replace with the same number of new laptops. -- Jonathan T. Younker. Head, Library Systems and Technologies
November 25, 2013
COMMENT - There should be a return slot in the Circulation Desk for Reserves instead of a basket.
RESPONSE - Due to the declining number of circulating materials, the reserve return slot was not replaced when the desk was recently renovated. Library materials can always be returned directly to Circulation Services staff. Ian Gordon, Head, Circulation Services
November 7, 2013
COMMENT – Other universities have much later regular library hours. 11 pm is so early, some people do not have typical schedules and need later hours available. Thanks.
RESPONSE - We appreciate your input and recognise the importance of this matter. We know students would like the Library to be open more hours, although we have found most leave between 10 and 11 pm. Also, given the costs associated with extending hours throughout the entire while we have undergone several years of budget cuts, have made it very challenging for us to extend hours throughout the entire year. We do offer extended hours during the final exam periods. Starting December 2, we will be open until 2:00 am.
You might want to consider moving to the Plaza Building when we close. Social and study space is available 24 hours a day.
Thank you. -- Deb Kalvee, Associate University Librarian, Services & Facilities, email@example.com
October 31, 2013
COMMENT - I do not feel comfortable to leave a reserve book in that basket. I think the library has to find a solution. It's not secure.
RESPONSE - Users that are hesitant to drop off Reserve materials into the Reserve basket located on the Circulation Desk are more than welcome to hand these materials directly to Circulation Desk staff. -- Ian Gordon, Head, Circulation Services
October 16, 2013
COMMENT - Please do something for the dead and live flies especially on the 6th floor. They are everywhere and I have told the staff a few times about the issue.
RESPONSE - We have contacted Custodial Services and Facilities Management again to address this troublesome seasonal issue. They are working double duty to vacuum up flies and FM expects to put down some traps.
-- Deb Kalvee, Associate University Librarian, Services & Facilities
October 11, 2013
COMMENT - We need more laptops specially when it is really busy like the month of October.
RESPONSE - Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, due to the current economic climate and budget pressures, we were only able to purchase and deploy 25 new laptops in our laptop loan program. While some university libraries, like McMaster, have completely eliminated their laptop loan program due to costs, staffing levels and support implications, here at Brock we consider this is a valued service, and one that we are committed to maintaining – even if it does mean scaling back the program. Thanks. -- Jonathan T. Younker, Head, Library Systems and Technologies
October 3, 2013
COMMENT - In the Graduate Study Room, people are claiming desks without actually being there. They put down a book and a pencil case and then leave. Today when I went to work, all spots were filled with only 10 people being in the room. Very frustrating!
RESPONSE - Thank you for your comment. It is getting busy everywhere, and we are starting to see this behaviour too. We understand your frustration. We have just taken a couple of steps to remind users to show more consideration towards others in this regard. In future, if you find encounter this again, please contact ask for Donna Grant, Learning Commons Manager or me. -- Deb Kalvee, Associate University Librarian, Services & Facilities, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Anti-GMO study is garbage
A French study released at the end of September claimed there are cancer concerns from eating genetically modified (GM) corn and the use of glyphosate herbicide in conjunction with the corn, but scientists around the world have called the design of the rat feeding study and the reported results a mockery of science.
Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen, the study's principal lead and results author, a molecular biologist and endocrinologist, has an open anti-GM agenda of trying to claim their are dangerous effects from GM crops/foods. Nearly every true scientist without an anti-GM agenda and the European Union's regulatory agencies have refuted Seralini's previous claims and this latest one, too.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a statement saying it "does not see a need to re-examine its previous safety evaluation of maize (Monsanto's) NK603 nor to consider these findings in the ongoing assessment of glyphosate."
Several scientists didn't mince words about the study and the lead researcher. One of those outspoken critics is Bruce Chassy, Ph.D., professor emeritus, University of Illinois Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. "Let's get to the core of the matter, the senior author of the study (Sealini) is a very prominent anti-GM crusader in Europe. He is funded by people who are anti-GM. He is the president of the board of scientific directors of an anti-GM NGO, which he hosts at his university laboratory, which I find odd. And he has a long history of papers that get discredited as bad science that attack GM. He has written and said he is opposed to GM. So, you have both bias and conflict of interest," said Chassy during a segment of AgriTalk radio.
The rat feeding study results claimed a high number of rats died from tumors after being fed NK603 corn, which is resistant to glyphosate herbicide. Scientists noted the control group and total number of rats tested, and the number of those who developed tumors and died while eating the GM corn was completely unscientific. The researchers used the Sprague-Dawley line of rats that is bred to be highly susceptible to the development of tumors. That particular strain has a more than 80 percent chance of growing tumors within two years under non-experimental conditions, noted many scientists including members of the American Society of Animal Science.
"What's wrong with this study? I can't even count the ways," said Alison Van Eenennaam, Ph.D., a Cooperative Extension specialist at the University of California-Davis, who was quoted by Dan Murphy, a contributing columnist for Vance Publishing. "The authors refused to share their data with other scientists, they didn't perform a statistical analysis of the data and the strain of rats they used is known to spontaneously develop tumors.

Very poor criticism, you've missed quite a lot. Today in the major French newspaper Le Monde for instance, 140 academics condemn attacks on Seralini study and double standards by opponents. Monsanto used the same rats in studies to approve both NK 603 corn and the herbicide roundup. They never disclosed any data and their studies stopped before serious effects could be seen. http://www.gmwatch.org/index.php? option=com_content&view=article&id=14434
So, if there is no danger, why can't GMO be on the label? Just keep marketing better than the anti-GMO folks. It looks like you have more money than they do.
I came here and all I got was garbage. The French study merely took Monsanto's original study and prolonged it. The same study Monsanto used to suggest their poisonous product was safe. If the parameters of the study didn't live up to Dr. Alison Van Eenennaam's standards, blame Monsanto -- one of UC Davis' biggest supporters. In the end, the results were devastating all the same.
If Monsanto did indeed use the same strain of rats then this may be proof that their GMO's somehow actually delay the onset of some cancers. I think i'm going to by me some GM sweet corn !
Bruce Chassy's department at the University of Illinois received $250k in funding from Monsanto in May 2012 for an initiative that partners the colleges of agriculture and media to improve "communications" regarding biotech. He has called for less testing for gmo's. He was quoted in the Hawaii Tribune Herald (and many other publications) with no mention of his funding. He is one of the biotech dirty dozen front men. Michael Taylor is the ringleader. Get organized and start a local GMO Free Chapter. GMO Free Hawaii Island is supporting Islandwide legislation to prohibit the growing of any gmo's. We have very high rate of GMO papaya contamination and the other islands are ground zero for a kine crazy open air field tests on untested, unapproved GMObiopharmacueticals and more. GMO's are just an attempt to solve problems created by poor agricultural practices. Check out this website to learn about other possibilites. www.agroforestrydesign.net

Police: Two men attempt to rob former co-worker
Two Salisbury men were charged this weekend with trying to rob a man who knew their identities.
And the victim's girlfriend foiled the would-be robbers' efforts by yelling for help, authorities said.
Salisbury Police said the victim, Neil Hooper, saw a suspicious silver car drive by his apartment twice. He was heading inside, but he approached the vehicle when it circled back.
Hooper told police he recognized the driver as Robert Charles Isenhour and the passenger as David William Lutz. There was a third person in the vehicle, who Hooper didn't recognize.
Hooper once worked at Isenhour's landscaping company.
Police charged Isenhour, 35, also known as Ike, of the 100 block of Epperson Road, with felony robbery with a dangerous weapon. Lutz, also 35, of the 100 block of Oakview Drive, was also charged with felony robbery with a dangerous weapon.
A police report said Hooper told the men he was in a hurry and had his two nieces in his car. Lutz got out of the vehicle and pointed a gun at Hooper's chest and demanded money.
Hooper said he didn't have any money.
Isenhour got out of the driver's side and said, "You're going to give it up."
Hooper's girlfriend, who was inside his car with his two nieces, began screaming. A neighbor heard the screaming and ran outside. The girlfriend told the neighbor that Hooper was being robbed.
The two men jumped back into the car and drove away. The Rowan County Sheriff's Office sent a deputy to Isenhour's home on Epperson Road where the two men were a rrested.
Both Lutz and Isenhour remain in the Rowan County jail, each under a $5,000 bond.

Exploring Books
Bedford School Exploring Books with local community schools
We have had another successful year going in to local schools to do exploring book sessions. This year we extended the scheme to include Middle Schools as well; visiting Daubeney Middle, St Gregory's, Goldington Academy, Lincroft and Harrold Middle School and we hope to extend the book collection to include more books for this age range. We also returned to Willington Lower and Springfield Lower as well as visiting St Lawrence Lower and Roxton for the first time.
The purpose of the visits is to support literacy and books and reading in these schools by introducing six book titles and then leaving multiple copies for the classes to read and explore over a six week period. The schools have used books to do reviews, paired reading and even encourage story writing. Where possible we return to the school when we collect the books and talk to the pupils about the books and they are usually very lively sessions. This year favourite books included Spy Dog, Mr Gum, Traction Man, The incredible Book Eating Boy, The Whisperer and Kaspar.

Once I saw a guy riding a bike while playing the banjo and you will never be as cool as that guy.
Two students, James and John were given a grammar test by their teacher. The question was, "is it better to use "had" or "had had" in this example sentence?"
The teacher collected the tests, and looked over their answers.
James, while John had had "had", had had "had had." "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.
welcome to the english language
That took me longer than it should had to read.
