Officials with the East Baton Rouge Library System are no strangers to finding themselves targets of critics.
It's not exactly the attention you'd expect for librarians, known for asking patrons of their tome-filled buildings to speak softly, or for their board members.
But it seems every few months the library system is being scrutinized and criticized for what some taxpayers, elected officials and general observers deem wasteful spending.
Plans to replace the 30-year-old downtown library for $19 million sparked a polarizing debate that even contributed to a failed recall effort of Metro Councilwoman Alison Gary, who supported the plans.
Baton Rouge Tea Party officer Mark Holmes said earlier this year the organization measures wasteful spending in increments of "DTLs," which stands for Downtown Libraries.
Last month, the Metro Council debated whether the library system should be allowed to raise the pay of its director, per a recommendation by a search firm. The Metro Council ultimately voted against raising the salary, calling it excessive.
The library system is frequently accused of being wasteful, but as of Dec. 31, the system had a surplus of $51.5 million. The system's entire annual budget is $38.3 million, which means the agency has a savings account that's almost 150 percent of its actual budget.
Since the city-parish is self-insured, the surplus is needed for unforeseen disasters like a hurricane or a fire, said library system business manager Rhonda Pinsonat. One-time expenses also can be paid for with the surplus.
The surplus has grown faster than expected, Pinsonat said, because of "tremendous construction savings" at the new main library and salary savings from high staff turnover.
Pinsonat said the city-parish finance department suggested they keep a surplus of "no less than one year's operations to allow for unforeseen circumstances."
The library system's careful budgeting means that if its 11.1-mill property tax isn't renewed in 2015, the system could continue to operate for at least a year on the savings.
The library system is also debt free. It issues no bonds for its ongoing construction projects.
"That means it takes us awhile to save the funds, but when we open each new building, it's completely paid for," said Mary Stein, the library system's interim co-director. "When we talk to librarians from other states, they are green with envy."
The library system this year also avoided rolling forward its millage. Government agencies can roll forward, or use the prior year's, property tax rates when reassessments result in increased property values, thus reaping additional tax revenue. The library system instead elected to stay with the automatic lower property tax rates in order to keep the tax revenues at the same level as the prior year.
The system's property tax rate has been at 11.1 mills since 1995. In 2005, when the tax was renewed, officials did not ask to increase the millage, Stein said.
"We live within our means," she said, even though the cost of books, salaries and benefits have increased.
In recent years, the library system has started construction on four branches — two new and two replacements. And still, the library's budget has never strayed into the red.
Asked if she feels the level of scrutiny is unwarranted, Stein said it's appreciated.
"The scrutiny is designed to safeguard the public's trust," she said, "and we appreciate that the public is so interested in us."

Slow Cooker Country Spare Ribs
Slow Cooker Country Spare Ribs
CarbsPerServing:10g per serving (2 ribs)
Prep Time:15-20 min
4 lbs Country Style Spare Ribs
2 Tbs Butter
1 Can Diet Coke or Diet Rite Lots of Lauwry's Seasoned Salt
1 Can Diced Tomatoes(undrained)
1 Tbsp Molasses
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
1 Tbsp Dried Minced Onion (or fresh onion - about 1/3 chopped)
1 Tbsp Hot Hungarian Paprika (if desired)
How to Prepare:
Mix all ingredients from second column in your crock pot. Next, heat up the butter in large skillet until very hot but not so the butter burns. Sear each piece of ribs (I do 4 at a time) on each side. I like to sear, but it is not necessary. Sprinkle Lawry's salt generously on both sides of each rib. Layer ribs in slow cooker and pour diet coke over the top. Turn cooker on low (1 or 2) and cook all day (about 7 hours). 1/2 hour before serving, season again if necessary and turn to high so liquid boils. Serve and enjoy!! Tip - if you cook these even longer and/or on higher heat remove the bones and you'll have a wonderful stew (add a bit of sour cream to the broth).
NOTE. Most Ingredients in these recipes can be bought in good health food shops and grocery store. If you have trouble finding something, feel free to exchange, but keep track of the carbs.

Losing a child is every parent's worst nightmare, but those whose children give their life for their country can find comfort in knowing that they raised a true American hero.
Andrew Pedersen-Keel, who enrolled at West Point after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, was killed by a jihadist in Afghanistan in 2013.
Now, his family is honoring his memory in a truly special way — his step-father, Bob Keiser, has planned to ride a motorcycle across the country in honor and support for his son and others who sacrifice for the United States, according to WTNH.
Advertisement - story continues below
Pedersen-Keel was a member of the Special Forces who were working with Afghan communities and soldiers, helping to train them so they could better defend themselves from radicals.
His first day on the job, an assailant in disguise gunned him down.

Pedersen-Keel has been remembered as a hard-working, passionate and patriotic soldier who truly wanted the best for the U.S. and its allies.
To preserve that memory and honor others like his stepson, Keiser will be riding his Harley Davidson from California to Arlington National Cemetery.

You can watch local coverage of the planned event here:
But, this parent's powerful ride of nearly 4,000 miles isn't the only way Pederson-Keel's memory is being preserved.
In fact, Pedersen-Keel's family operate several charities and foundation in his honor, a gesture that they consider "small" compared to the sacrifices made by our military men and women.
The loss of this hero is truly a tragedy, but we can ensure that his bravery was not in vain by remembering our fallen soldiers and their families, praying for our servicemen and women and protecting the values they gave their lives for.

Say What You Mean
While some of our customers are experts at copywriting, others don't have the time or the inclination to tackle the job, and that's fine. We can help. It goes without saying that you are the expert in your chosen domain, so you're going to have to help us get all that information out of your head and onto your website. We'll work with you, and tease out the final content.
Rubber Duck Copywriting
The goal of rubber duck copywriting is to write text which you will then read aloud to a rubber duck (or any other inanimate object of your choosing). When you have finished reading out your copy, ask yourself if the duck now understands the concept you were trying to convey. If not, it's time to go back to the drawing board! The concept originated in the computer programming world, but has expanded to many other disciplines, as a semi-scientific way to evaluate clarity of expression.
Search Engine Considerations
When writing for the web, the golden rule is to write for your customer, not for the search engine. While it is critical to include relevant keywords for the search engine, a well written page directed at customers will automatically tick a lot of the boxes for Google. Google has always wanted the most relevant and authoritative sites to be number one for the appropriate search term. The relevance comes from keywords, and the authority comes from the websites that will link to your high quality content.
Nothing diminishes the impact of a well written document more than an obvious spelling or grammatical error. Let us be your second pair of eyes. We've been saving the blushes of our customers since 2005!
Often, when it comes to compiling the content for a website, it becomes apparent that the information already exists but is distributed through many brochures, emails and other documents. When you're emotionally connected to to the material, it can be difficult to find perspective, and get a holistic view of your content as it relates to your website. While the basic information needs to come from you, we can act as an independent editor, culling, augmenting and polishing as required.

When recently polled to give their wealth manager an exam score, U.S. high-net-worth investors levied a score of 72.7%, which would equate to a C- grade.
This score, according to the Capgemini, RBC Wealth Management United States Wealth Report, would likely result in dire consequences in most households with children. Yet at the same time, the same poll found net new money inflows -- which averaged $1.8 billion (or 1.7% of assets) across the industry in 2013 -- seem to affirm the health of global wealth managers.
The exam scores certainly hint that wealthy U.S. investors are crying out for a deeper relationship with their wealth managers. How then is it possible that financially, many advisors and firms are having record years?
The fundamental path to profitability for wealth management firms has always been to gather assets. It is a strategy that has been unchanged for the past century and may remain unchallenged in the next. This ethos, in turn, has been handed down through generations of advisors and relationship managers and has become embedded in many businesses today as a key performance objective. Its impact has been to drive cultures and behaviors that believe prospecting is the route to improved financial performance.
As with any system of beliefs, it is hard to challenge that dogma. Yet, from a business perspective, this culture has become deeply problematic.
Recruitment drives, for example, become elephant hunts as firms seek to appoint individuals or teams who can bring large books of assets. And while firms have learned to pay for results on this front, elephant hunts dont come cheap. Firms are often saddled with the overhead of costly compensation long after the initial book has been transferred.
These significant overhead costs further squeeze already compressed margins and provide little room to maneuver through the changing cycles of the market.
In fact, elephant hunting has become so popular in recent years that it has left many advisors with a distorted view of their service capabilities. Armed with a handsome signing bonus and with over 70% of their clients coming along for the ride during a move, these advisors justifiably feel that they are doing a great job.
Yet, rarely are their clients asked for their perspective on the upheaval of moving firms or the generous rewards reaped by their advisor.
As the Chinese proverb states, when elephants move it is the grass that suffers.
Ironically, squeezed margins have only encouraged this trend. Veteran financial advisors, presented with ever-increasing asset and production goals, feel the need to fall back on what made them successful -- prospecting and conquering new clients. It is the path of least resistance for those who have established client relationships. After all, they know what their clients like, so it makes little sense to present new product or service capabilities.
Incentive structures in the brokerage world entrench these behaviors further. Brokers get paid on total revenue, so have less to gain from working hard to generate returns from existing clients when they could get a windfall from a new client account.
Meanwhile, from the business perspective, new money secured by advisors is seen as a payback for the investment in recruitment and training, so there is little incentive for change.
Yet, once again, clients are rarely asked for their views on the resulting relegation of their relationship, while their advisor chases the next new romance.
This is not to say that advisors dont take care of their clients. Not at all: client books are built on the loyalty that comes from careful account servicing.
However, there is a world of difference between servicing and service. It is an unfortunate reality that clients who settle for being serviced run a severe risk of being taken for granted.
So, is it any wonder then that when asked for their opinion on overall performance, the marks given by so-called loyal clients are nothing short of a rear-end boot.
As the school principal might say; it is time for the industry to think about its behavior.
For those willing to take on the challenge of delivering genuinely on the promise of a long-term relationship the prize is significant.
Clients who report high satisfaction scores with their wealth advisor are significantly more likely to consolidate assets.
In the U.S., those with low satisfaction scores hold just 32% of their wealth with their money manager, compared to 68% among highly satisfied clients, according to Scorpios Futurewealth database.
More than that -- and surprising as it may sound -- most U.S. investors actually want to consolidate their wealth. In the U.S., 54.4% of HNWs are strongly in favor of working with a single wealth management firm, compared to just 10.8% who strongly prefer to work with multiple advisors, according to another report, the Capgemini, RBC Wealth Management and Scorpio Partnership Global High-Net-Worth Insights Survey from 2014.
So how can U.S. wealth managers turn their middling results into a relationship goldmine?
By putting down the elephant gun.
Firms must invest in understanding the real expectations of their real clients today, instead of paying out big bucks on the promise of winning a new client tomorrow.
They need to find ways to change the mindset of their organizations, moving from a culture of servicing to a service culture. And they need to measure performance on metrics that make sense in a relationship business.
None of this will be easy. A culture that has been established over generations is hard to unwind and there is hard graft involved in building datasets that correspond to real client need.
Yet, the alternative is unthinkable. If you think a C- is bad, then prepare yourself for worse. Those exam marks are falling.
Among U.S. investors the drop was 6.4% between 2013 and 2014, according to the 2014 Capgemini, RBC Wealth Management United States Wealth Report. Among the under 40s the picture is even worse, with scores plummeting to just 67%.
How long will it be before they find an alternative to this kind of relationship?

Annie Catchpole is a senior manager working on Scorpios research team, leading projects with marketing and a market insight focus.

Measuring the Impact of Better Local Governance in Indonesia
The core research question to be addressed in this project is 'To what extent does the quality of economic governance at the district level enhance the economic performance of Indonesia's decentralised districts?'
Several empirical studies have confirmed the connection between better governance and improved economic performance. However, to date, almost all of these studies have used a cross-country approach to try and explain the extent to which national governance affects national economic performance.
The wave of decentralisation over the last few decades means that many countries have sub-national regions with significant administrative, fiscal and sometimes political autonomy. Nowhere in the Asia Pacific is this truer than in Indonesia, which has decentralised political, administrative and significant fiscal autonomy to over 480 districts. However, the economic performance of Indonesia's districts since decentralisation in 2001 has varied dramatically.
There is anecdotal evidence that the policies pursued by sub-national authorities have an important bearing on the quality of the local investment climate and consequently the economic performance of the region. However, measuring whether this is true and, if so, how important local economic governance is, is usually impossible because of the lack of suitable data at the sub-national level.
However, the Asia Foundation, in conjunction with a national Indonesian NGO, Regional Autonomy Watch (KPPOD), have recently produced a remarkable dataset which measures the quality of local economic governance in 243 districts across the country. The data is based on a statistically representative random sample of over 12,000 firms and 729 business associations throughout these districts. This dataset provides a unique opportunity to test empirically the hypothesis that better local governance in Indonesia positively affects local economic performance.
The key gap that this research will address is that, despite huge efforts to build the capacity of local governments and several years of debate about the costs and benefits of decentralisation, we still do not have clear empirical evidence about whether improving the quality of local economic governance does, in fact, tend to result in improved economic performance.
The likely benefits from this research will include: a better understanding of which aspects of local economic governance matter most for economic performance and a quantification of how much they matter relative to other factors, helping policymakers and donors focus on those aspects most likely to yield significant gains in terms of growth and poverty reduction in lagging regions; and a greater awareness and use by civil society groups of the Economic Governance Index as a tool to put pressure on local leaders for governance reforms.

All applications are interactive and available on the Graduate School's website.
Master of Engineering (M.Eng); a coursework and project-oriented degree program usually completed in two semesters if started in the Fall. Admission to this program generally requires an undergraduate degree, or equivalent coursework, in an appropriate field of engineering.
Master of Science (M.S.); a research-oriented degree program usually completed within two years. Admission to this program generally requires an undergraduate degree , or equivalent coursework, in an appropriate field of engineering, although the environmentally-oriented concentrations may be able to accept students who have a strong physical sciences background.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.); an in-depth research-oriented degree program that is usually completed within 3 to 5 years. Those applying for direct admission to the PhD program are expected to have a master's degree in an appropriate area first; otherwise, they should apply to the combined M.S./Ph.D. program.
The M.Eng degree is set up to be completed in two semesters. No thesis is required; a final written report on the design project replaces the thesis. The program requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of technical graduate-level course work and work on a real-world design project. The project may either be in a group setting or an individual project. The program is intended for those interested in professional practice and engineering.
The M.S. degree is a research-oriented program that usually takes 4 semesters to complete and requires an independently written thesis. There are no credit-hour or specific course requirements. Each student's program (course work and research) is individualized and decided upon in consultation with a Special Committee which the student selects and that is made up of faculty from the student's major and minor subject areas. The program is intended for those interested in a research or academic career and, generally, continuation into a PhD program. In fact, several of our concentrations will not accept terminal MS applications. Those interested in a terminal Master's degree should apply to the Master of Engineering program; others may apply for the combined MS/PhD program. Competition for these assistantships and fellowships is very keen and in general only about 5% of new M.S. (/Ph.D.) applicants will receive an offer of financial aid. Please note that because there are no credit-hour requirements in the M.S. (or Ph.D.) program, credits earned at another university cannot be transferred to an M.S. (or Ph.D.) program at Cornell.
Both the M.Eng and M.S. degrees are excellent preparation for a Ph.D. program or for a career.
In addition to the application form and Statement of Purpose, CEE requires a minimum of three letters of recommendation, transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate courses taken, GRE scores, and TOEFL scores for any applicant whose native language is not English. No exceptions are granted. Although a resume is not required, it is helpful.
All international applicants must demonstrate proficiency in the English language. International students demonstrate proficiency by submitting official test scores from TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). All international applicants must demonstrate proficiency in the English language. International students demonstrate proficiency by submitting official test scores from TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). As an alternative to the TOEFL, Cornell currently accepts IELTS scores with the minimum overall score being 7.0 score. For applicants in regions where the TOEFL iBT is not available, Cornell will continue to accept scores for the paper-based test (PBT). Although individual graduate fields may require higher scores, Cornell's official minimum sub-scores for each element of the TOEFL are:
IBT Version:
- Writing: 20
- Listening: 15
- Reading: 20
- Speaking: 22
Send scores to Cornell University Graduate School, Code # 2098.
The TOEFL score must be dated within two years of the time the application is reviewed by Cornell. Photocopies of TOEFL score reports will not be accepted.
Take the TOEFL early enough to have the results submitted at the time of your application. Please note that we cannot confirm receipt of test scores until the student has submitted an online application. Exam dates are posted on the TOEFL web site.
If you receive your test results and any sub-score does not meet the requirement, you should make arrangements to retake the test.
An application cannot be considered complete until Cornell receives official scores from ETS. An offer of admissions cannot be made nor can a visa document be issued if an application is incomplete. If your TOEFL score does not meet the requirement, we cannot issue the document, and you will not be able to enter the country.

The TOEFL requirement may be waived if the applicant meets at least one of these criteria:
- is a native citizen of the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or Canada (except Quebec). Applicants who are citizens of India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, or Singapore, are not exempt from the TOEFL requirement.
- studied in full-time status for at least two academic years within the last five years in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand, or with English language instruction in Canada or South Africa. You must submit a transcript that shows you have attended college in one of these approved locations.
CEE does not have a minimum GRE score requirement that applicants must obtain. The GRE is looked at as part of the overall application package; applicants generally are neither accepted nor rejected based on GRE alone.

For FALL admission completed applications, including all supporting materials, must be received by January 5 at the latest (applications will not be accepted after January 5), although it is very much to the applicant's advantage (especially international applicants) to apply earlier. For SPRING admission, the deadline for completed applications, including all supporting materials, is October 15. Financial aid is rarely available in the Spring. No separate application form is required to apply for financial aid; simply check the box on the application form that asks if you wish to be considered for merit-based aid.
The current application fee is $105.
No, transcripts must be in English.
The application fee is paid on-line within the application form.

CECILIA — St. Thomas More quarterback Will Bellamy saw open spaces in the Cecilia secondary Friday night and he didn't hesitate to unleash the fury of the Cougars' passing game.
Bellamy completed all but nine of his 22 passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns as the Cougars opened the District 5-4A portion of their schedule with a 41-12 victory over Cecilia.
STM, ranked No. 1 in Class 4A, struck quickly, scoring three touchdowns and a safety during the first seven minutes as the Cougars improved to 5-0.
Bellamy, a junior, completed two of his touchdown passes to running back Trevor Begue.
After scoring with six minutes left in the first quarter on a 32-yard run. Bellamy and Begue found the aerial groove.
Bellamy threw a 17-yard pass to Begue with 5:06 left in the first period and then with 2:07 remaining before halftime, STM bolted to a 35-0 lead as he connected with Begue on a 92-yard screen pass for another TD.
The passing performance, Bellamy said, was just a matter of playing the advantages presented by the Bulldogs' secondary.
"They started out in cover 0, something that we have seen from defenses all season. That gave us some openings in the middle of the field and we used the post routes," Bellamy said.
Begue ended the game with four catches for 130 yards, while Bech had three for 69.
The Cougars led Cecilia 41-0 with 19 seconds remaining in the third period, but Cecilia came back with two touchdowns in the final 10 minutes of the game.
One of those scores came on a 68-yard run by Cecilia running back Raymond Calais.
Calais took a pitch from Bulldogs' quarterback Landon Roberts and once he was free on the edge of the STM defense, Calais ignited the jets and was gone down the sidelines before any of the Cougars could touch him.
Calais ended the game with 146 rushing yards on 24 attempts.
Cecilia head football Coach Terry Martin said he was happy with the way his team played the second half.
"I kind of questioned their character a little bit at halftime, but they really responded and fought back to give us a good second half," Martin said.
All of Bellamy's completions came in the first half.
Bellamy drove the Cougars 78 yards in four plays to open the game, with a pair of completions to Tiger Bech before Nathan Thevenot scored from the 2-yard line.
Cecilia's Tarik Davis intercepted Bellamy at the Bulldogs' 5-yard line to halt another potential scoring drive on the Cougars' next series, but the defensive effort was turned into STM points when Calais was tackled in the end zone for a safety.
Begue scored on a 32-yard run following the safety and on the next series, Begue caught the first of his two touchdown passes from Bellamy. That allowed the Cougars to surge to the 23-0 lead.
STM head Coach Jim Hightower didn't feel the Cougars' early lead necessarily set the tone.
"I thought Cecilia (1-4, 0-2) stayed in the game the whole way and at the end they really battled back," Hightower said.
Hightower said he didn't feel STM's passing attack was unusually sharp.
"We've been pretty productive in the passing game all years. We happened to hit on some big plays," Hightower said.

Our living rooms are where we spend a lot of time relaxing, and it's the place where first impressions are made when we receive guests, making it a priority for updated decor. A lack of cash doesn't need to stand between us and a room that is comfortable and beautiful if we take a clever and creative approach. Here are some inexpensive ways we can think about our living rooms to transform the look and feel with a few simple changes.
Upcycle a piece of furniture
Take what's old and make it look new again, or wildly different, with a DIY upgrade. Buy a can of spray paint and turn that powder-coated chair frame or shelving unit into shimmering rose gold, for example. Or head to a charity shop and purchase pieces of furniture that lots of character or the potential to be upcycled with a little TLC.
Freshen your cushions
Adding or changing your sofa and chair cushions is the easiest way to update the style of your living room. You can play with proportion by adding oversized in with your smaller cushions; mix shapes, textures and materials, or go monochrome if eclectic is your original look. Choose a new colour scheme that's a noticeable contrast from what you've been living with, or go with a graphic feature cushion to create a focal point. Add a matching throw to make the room feel more warm and welcoming and you won't even recognise the your living room the next time you walk into it.
Use the walls to tell a story
Make your walls stand out with memories and unique artwork. You can make a poster of a favourite design or a collection of your personal photos. Creating a custom, professional-looking poster is easy using an online poster making program, and it doesn't have to cost a lot to print. Frames can really alter the style of your space, so choose one that suits the artwork and the style you are looking to achieve. Bold black frames will give you a gallery look and can instantly make your tired room feel upscale and contemporary. If you can't afford professional framing, look for old artwork at flea markets that come with interesting frames.
Add a rug
Don't count out the floor when it comes to setting the tone for your living room; what you do with it can create as big an impact as your walls. If you have wood floors, consider adding a rug or changing an old one. The size and colour you choose can change the mood of the entire room. A blah, non-descript matt replaced by a jewel-toned or monochrome-striped rug can turn a dull space into a vibrant one. Or if your space feels quite busy, go with a refined winter white or saturated black to create a more serene base. You can go plush with thick pile or minimalist with Scandinavian woven recycled plastic rugs (they don't look plastic, I have one) that come in modern, graphic patterns and are easy to clean. If you love the rug you have or it was an investment that you're not willing to part with, a professional cleaning can bring it, and the room, back to life.
Grab a paint brush and freshen your walls. Pick colours that complement the tones you've used around your home and make you happy. You may want to use colours that brighten the space and make it feel open and inviting. Recruit friends or family to help out if you're a rookie and have fun with creating a whole new look and feel in your living room!

On the second day of Christmas, my blogger shared with me…
a Little People lift-the-flap treat!
Fisher-Price Little People: Christmastime Is Here!, written by Ellen Weiss
(2008, Reader's Digest Children's Books, ISBN-13: 978-0-7944-1694-2, ISBN-10: 0-79444-1694-2)
(2002, Reader's Digest Children's Books, ISBN-13: 978-1-57584-997-3, ISBN-10: 1-57584-997-6)
I don't know why there are two versions of this book; they are completely identical apart from the cover, so if you find the 2002 version (with the green title) for cheaper than the $9.99, know that you're getting the same thing either way!
Featuring the Fisher-Price Little People, this Christmas-themed lift-the-flap book is sure to be among a young child's favorites for the season. The Little People prepare for Christmas by decorating, shopping, and playing outdoors while the North Pole bustles with activity on Christmas Eve. The illustrations are bright and busy, giving children plenty to pore over as they explore each page. As in most of the Fisher-Price books, many parts of the illustrations are labeled with appropriate vocabulary, from "wish list" to "toboggan" (the sled-like thing, not the hat), and each page also features a four-line ABCB rhyming stanza to describe the scene . Most pages contain about seven flaps to lift, and many flaps reveal a change from the original image, such as a snowman being completed or balls falling out of a display, while some simulate movement like opening a door or curtain to show what is behind it. The last spread of the book features a Christmas morning scene with twenty-five flaps (out of the total of "Over 50 Fun Flaps to Lift") for a countdown to Christmas.
GirlChild's Reactions: GirlChild owns several Little People toys and books, so she recognizes both the characters and some of the images of toys they slip into the drawings (like the dollhouse in the toy shopping scene), and she likes that. She also loves lift-the-flap books in general and Fisher-Price Little People lift-the-flap books in particular, so this is definitely one of her favorites. Two of her favorites, actually, since we own both versions. I've decided that's a good thing because BoyChild is getting to the stage where he's dangerous to flaps and anything else in the house that's not tied down, and I'd hate not to have a copy of this book for the Christmas season.
I have loved Fisher-Price Little People since they were those armless plastic pegs back when I was a kid, and I find that Fisher-Price makes both quality toys and books, so I feel confident that anything we buy from them will be worth the money. The books are sturdy board books with very heavy-duty flaps, so tearing is less of an issue with these than with some other lift-the-flap books. While this book isn't exactly a heartwarming seasonal tribute, it's a fun novelty book for little ones to read with a parent or explore alone.

I'd consider it a "healthy competitive" at this point, because unless it's something extreme, I'm usually fine after a couple of seconds or minutes if I lose. However, my mom would definitely tell you there's a time when that wasn't the case.

In perhaps the tightest race in Miami Shores history, three candidates won at-large council seats on Tuesday with only nine votes separating first and third place.
The majority vote went to Alice Burch with 1,025 votes, landing her a four-year term on council with two of those years as mayor. Runner-up Steve Zelkowitz earned the vice mayor seat with 1,020 votes and Ivonne Ledesma won a two-year term on the council with 1,016 votes.
Barbara Estep, village clerk, announced the results shortly after the polls closed at 7 p.m. in the Community Center on Tuesday.
The combined results are unofficial until Friday, after the county audits them.
The newly elected mayor and longtime governing member of the Doctor's Charter School board said she was stunned at how close the results were.
"I'm amazed really, but I'm so excited to have the opportunity to work for the Shores," said Burch. "I've been working in many ways for a long time, but always in the background, so now I have a chance to make a difference."
Moving forward as mayor, Burch said she is enthusiastic about being able to build a new community center, revitalizing the Shores' downtown area along Northeast Second Avenue, and about making the village more walkable and bike-friendly.
Former mayor Herta Holly and vice mayor Jesse Walters will join the three candidates on the council while finishing their two-year terms.
"I have worked a long time with Alice; she's going to be a superb mayor," said Holly. "She has her finger on so many things on our community and she's just a hard-working soul."
Zelkowitz, a 25-year real estate, zoning and land-use attorney and current chair of the village's planning and zoning board, said he is happy to be on board with Burch, Ledesma and remaining council members.
"I'm very proud to be part of it and I'm excited to be vice mayor," said Zelkowitz. "I've never seen a race this close, and you know people spoke about how one or two votes can make a difference, and in this case, one or two votes made the difference."
