"NZ on Emerald 'Great'"
My family & I had a wonderful cruise on the Emerald Princess. This was only our 2nd ever cruise & while staff were not rude as such, they weren't as happy & friendly as was on the Dawn in 2015. Just one of the little things you notice you know what I mean. Horizon Court buffet was generally pretty nice & plenty of variety, but by end of 11 day cruising it does start to get boring & not enjoyable quite so much. Kids club only average on the larger ship. Thankfully Princess are over hauling this later this year & into 2018, (which is when we are cruising again mind you). I will still recommend Princess to all who ask about them though...Read more

"Fiji again"
Just returned from Fiji again on Emerald Princess. Last time we visited this area it was very very humid, you could cut it with a knife. Well organised ship, weather great and places visited very interesting. Mare in the Loyalty Islands sparely populated but you can see the French influence in this area. Vila following the recent hurricane and storms much better repaired than I anticipated. They are even building another cruise ship dock to accommodate 2 cruise liners at a time. It seems this is being done with Japanese assistance. This time when visiting Port Denarau Fiji, took the plunge and caught the local yellow bus to Nadi. Pretty bumpy ride but it did give me a better idea of how the local people live. To my surprise the cost was a meager $1 return. Upon visiting Suva again I was surprised to see significant aid for new infrastructure. This aid was being provided by China Aid. Pity Australia did not provide this sort of assistance to our near Pacific neighbors. As previous, it's always nice when the local Fiji Band plays for you on the dock as we prepare to leave this Pacific paradise. Touring information provided by Princess most helpful. Ship was very clean, well organised and the food great. Departing from and returning to Sydney is always a buzz.Read more

Frequently asked questions
Cruising is such a great value holiday as your fare includes accommodations, all main meals onboard ship, onboard daytime activities, and night-time entertainment including live stage shows. One reason cruising is good value is because you'll know what most of your holiday will cost before you go. Generally your only extra onboard expenses could be your beverages (though these are sometimes included on luxury ships), optional shore excursions, personal services such as spa treatments, and any purchases at the gift and duty free shops.
All your main meals are included on a cruise. Typically for breakfast, lunch and dinner there is an a la carte option (order from a menu) or a buffet option. There is so much choice available, and the food is excellent. However, your cruise doesn't always just include these 3 main meals. You can in fact eat non-stop for 24 hours a day if you like.
Most cruise lines also offer specialty dining as an alternative option to the main restaurants. There is typically a small cover charge for this. However, the food is well worth it, and the specialty restaurants are normally smaller and more intimate than the main restaurants so they make for a great place to celebrate a special occasion.
The entertainment on board comes in many different styles and formats but is always included in the cruise fare. In the evening there are shows in the main show lounge (except small ship cruising). Typically there are two sessions a night so, depending on your dinner time, you can always catch the show. The style of these shows changes daily. Some nights it will include all of the ship's entertainment crew with a Las Vegas style production. Other nights there may be a guest entertainer or comedian. There is something for everyone.
The entertainment doesn't stop with the nightly performances. Each night the ship provides a newsletter detailing all the activities that will take place the following day. These activities may include dance classes, arts and crafts, table tennis, live music, tournaments, trivia quizzes, recent release movies, and other deck games and deck parties. The great thing about a cruise is that you can do as much or as little as you like. If your idea of a holiday is sitting back with a good book, you can do that. If you like to be entertained there is no shortage of entertainment.
One of the main reasons for a cruise making such a great family holiday is the "kids club" facilities offered on board, and they are all included in your cruise fare. Typically the kids clubs are broken into 3 different age groups - 3 to 6 years, 7 to 12 years, and 13 – 17 years. In these dedicated children's facilities they are looked after by trained staff and the facilities are open from 9am – 10pm. Parents can check their children into the "kids club" whenever it suits them. Children love these facilities as it is "their space" aboard the ship.
NB Each cruise line has limited space on board the ship for children as the kids club facilities can cater for a limited number of children, and any child booked onto a cruise has access to the kids club. If you are planning on taking a cruise during the school holidays then you need to book early as the children's space will sell out. Also, while most cruise lines have kids club facilities there are some exceptions (not common) so you should check this at time of booking.
The chances are you will not get seasick. On a cruise most people do not suffer from motion sickness. However, if you are going to get seasick then it is likely to happen in the first 24 hours. If you limit the amount of alcohol you consume and activities you do in the first 24 hours you can reduce the chance of this happening. Another thing you can do is select a midship cabin on a lower deck. A cabin in the middle of the ship (midship) will experience the least amount of movement.
There are a number of other precautions/medications you can take, and these can be purchased before you travel at a pharmacy or health shop. Otherwise you can buy them on board.
The best thing you can do if you feel seasick is visit the ship's doctor. They can give you an injection that will give you relief from your seasickness within 30 minutes. You have planned and saved for your holiday, don't ruin it by feeling sick. Visit the doctor for the injection and get it treated straight away. If you have travel insurance then you can claim this back.
IMPORTANT: A visit to the doctor on board will cost you money so we strongly recommend you get travel insurance before you depart on your holiday.
Terms and conditions for this cruise
Frequently Asked Questions
Shore excursions are pre-organised tours & sightseeing options that you purchase on board for when your ship is in a port of call. Every ship has a "Shore Ex" desk with qualified staff who can advise you of different excursions available, what's best to do and generally help you with information on the particular region your ship is visiting.
Shore excursions can be booked on board your ship however some cruise lines allow you to pre-book and pay for excursions online. If there is a tour you really want to do then we recommend you pre-book it as popular tours do sell out.
Shore excursions are not compulsory, you are free to go ashore and return to the ship as many times as you like.
When you go ashore it is important to note:
You must take your cruise I.D. card (ticket) as proof for re-embarking.
The city or town you are visiting may not be close to the port where the ship is docked, cruise lines normally organise shuttle buses (at a minimal charge) throughout the day to and from the city centre.
You must return to the ship at the stipulated time as the ship WILL NOT wait for late passengers.
Tour costs vary depending on the activity, itinerary and inclusions. There is always a wide variety on offer for all age groups and abilities that can start from as little as $25.
Sometimes you can book your tour, when you arrive at your port, direct from the operator at a much cheaper price. However, this comes with a buyer beware warning. The operators used by the cruise line are trusted professionals so you will not be ripped off. Also, if something goes wrong on your tour, the cruise line knows where you are and will take the necessary steps to pick you up if your vehicle has broken down. In extreme cases they will even hold the ship's departure for you if you are late returning from a tour booked through the ship. They will not wait if you go direct through the operator, as they will not know where you are.
Unlike airlines, there are no luggage restrictions on a cruise. However you need to consider that you need to store it in your cabin for your holiday. There is plenty of storage space in your cabin but if you are travelling in a quad cabin you may want to impose your own restrictions.
NB It is important to remember that airlines have different luggage restrictions, so if you are flying either pre or post cruise then you may want to keep within their allowances.
Cruise lines around the world do not all operate using the same onboard currency. The currency varies from cruise line to cruise line with the most common currency being US dollars. P&O Cruises Australia, Carnival Spirit and the Sun and Dawn Princess all use Australian dollars as their onboard currency.
Cruising is a cashless society which means when you purchase anything on board you do not pay for it in cash. When you board the ship it is like checking into a hotel, you can either give a credit card imprint or the cruise line will take a cash deposit of approximately $300. You are then given a "cruise card". Your cruise card is your door key (on most ships), has your dinner table number on it (for traditional dining), and it is used for making any purchases aboard.
When you make a purchase with your cruise card, it is swiped and a receipt is printed that you will need to sign. The cost of the purchase is then added to your onboard account which you settle at the end of your cruise.
Many cruises on our websites come with onboard credits. This could be from a special promotion that is being run by the cruise line or because of the relationship we have with the cruise lines that allows us to select certain cruises to receive onboard credit. The amount of onboard credit does normally depend on the length of the cruise.
If your reservation receives onboard credit we will confirm this with you in writing and then your onboard account will automatically be in credit for the amount we have confirmed to you. This credit can be used towards any onboard expenditure that is charged back to your cabin. It is important to note that if you do not spend all of your onboard credit it will not be refunded to you in cash so it is best you spend it all while on board.
Tipping/gratuities are a big issue for a lot of Australasian cruise passengers as it is not our custom to reward good service in this way. What cruise passengers need to consider is that outside of Australasia, the remuneration for personnel in the service industry is quite low. Hence, to keep up a high standard, employees have the incentive of earning additional income via the tips they receive. At the end of the day, how much you tip is up to you.
The most common way cruise lines suggest tipping, is that they add a suggested amount to your daily onboard account. You can choose to keep that on your account or you can ask the purser to remove it. This suggested amount is divided out amongst your cabin steward, your dinner waiter, your assistant waiter, your wine steward, and maitre d'.
Some cruise lines ask passengers to wait until the end of the cruise and they discreetly leave an envelope in your cabin in which to place the appropriate amount. Some cruise lines state that the fare you have paid includes gratuities. Some cruise lines ask that you pre-pay the gratuities with your cruise fare prior to your holiday departure.
Again, the amount you tip is up to you (unless it is prepaid) and it isn't intended to have a negative impact on your holiday. Do what feels most comfortable to you.
The rules surrounding where you can smoke on board a cruise ship vary from cruise line to cruise line. However, none have taken steps to ban smoking completely. Most only allow smoking in designated areas on the open decks. Many have banned smoking on cabin balconies as this poses a fire risk.
Many cruise lines have rules restricting you from taking your own alcohol on board your cruise ship. If you have pre purchased duty free alcohol the ship will take it off you when you board and store it away for you. This alcohol will be delivered to your cabin the night before you disembark. The same applies if you purchase it when you are in port. Any purchases made on board will also be delivered the night before you disembark.
However, Princess Cruises will allow you to bring a bottle of wine aboard which you can drink at dinner or in your cabin.
These restrictions were put in place to create a safer environment on board your cruise ship, where people drink within a controlled drinking environment.

CHARACTER, evidence. The opinion generally entertained of a person derived
from the common re 'port of the people who are acquainted with him. 3 Serg.
& R. 336; 3 Mass. 192; 3 Esp. C. 236.
2. There are three classes of cases on which the moral character and conduct of a person in society may be used in proof before a jury, each resting upon particular and distinct grounds. Such evidence is admissible, 1st. To afford a presumption that a particular party has not been guilty of a criminal act. 2d. To affect the damages in particular cases, where their amount depends on the character and conduct of any individual; and, 3d. To impeach or confirm the veracity of a witness.
3.-1. Where the guilt of an accused party is doubtful, and the character of the supposed agent is involved in the question, a presumption of innocence arises from his former conduct in society, as evidenced by his general character, since it is not probable that a person of known probity and humanity, would commit a dishonest or outrageous act in the particular instance. Such presumptions, however, are so remote from fact, and it is frequently so difficult to estimate a person's real character, that they are entitled to little weight, except in doubtful cases. Since the law considers a presumption of this nature to be admissible, it is in principle admissible 'Whenever a reasonable presumption arises from it, as to the fact in question; in practice it is admitted whenever the character of the party is involved in the issue. See 2 St. Tr. 1038 1 Coxes Rep. 424; 5 Serg. & R. 352 3 Bibb, R. 195; 2 Bibb, R. 286; 5 Day, R. 260; 5 Esp. C. 13; 3 Camp. C. 519; 1 Camp. C. 460; Str. R. 925. Tha. Cr. Cas. 230; 5 Port. 382.
4.-2. In some instances evidence in disparagement of character is admissible, not in order to prove or disprove the commission of a particular fact, but with a view to damages. In actions for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife, evidence may be given of the wife's general bad character, for want of chastity, and even of particular acts of adultery committed by her, previous to her intercourse with the defendant. B. N. P. 27, 296; 12 Mod. 232; 3 Esp. C. 236. See 5 Munf. 10. In actions for slander and libel, when the defendant has not justified, evidence of the plaintiff's bad character has also been admitted. 3 Camp. C. 251; 1 M. & S. 284; 2 Esp. C. 720; 2 Nott & M'Cord, 511; 1 Nott & M'Cord, 268; and see 11 Johns. R. 38; 1 Root, R. 449; 1 Johns. R. 46; 6 Penna. St. Rep. 170. The ground of admitting such evidence is, that a person of disparaged fame is not entitled to the same measure of damages with one whose character is unblemished. When, however, the defendant justifies the slander, it seems to be doubtful whether the evidence of reports as to the conduct and character of the plaintiff can be received. See 1 M. & S. 286, n (a) 3 Mass. R. 553 1 Pick. R. 19. When evidence is admitted touching the general character of a party, it is manifest that it is to be confined to matters in reference to the nature of the, charge against him. 2 Wend. 352.
5.-3. The party against whom a witness is called, may disprove the fact& stated by him, or may examine other witnesses as to his general character; but they will not be allowed to speak of particular facts or parts of his conduct. B. N. P. 296. For example, evidence of the general character of a prosecutrix for a rape, may be given, as that she was a street walker; but evidence of specific acts of criminality cannot be admitted. 3 Carr. & P. 589. The regular mode is to inquire whether the witness under examination has the means of knowing the former witness general character, and whether from such knowledge he would believe, him on his oath. 4 St. Tr. 693; 4 Esp. C. 102. In answer to such evidence against character, the other party may cross-examine the witness as to his means of knowledge, and the grounds of his opinion; or he may attack such witness general character, and by fresh evidence support the character of his own. 2 Stark. C. 151; Id. 241; St. Ev. pt. 4, 1753 to 1758; 1 Phil. Ev. 229. A party cannot give evidence to confirm the good character of a witness, unless his general character has been impugned by his antagonist. 9 Watts, R. 124. See, in general, as to character, Phil. Ev. Index, tit. Character; Stark. Ev. pl. 4, 364 Swift's Ev. 140 to 144 5 Ohio R. 227; Greenl. Ev. Sec. 54; 3 Hill, R. 178 Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.

Lee Russell illustrations by Mike Chappell.
Osprey Publishers Men-at-arms series 1983 (reprinted 1995). ISBN 0850455146.
Bought because it has a pretty good section on the PAVN and the PLAF which is a focus of my son's. It is a slim volume, better illustrated than volume 1 but with fewer photos I felt. Apart from that it is a Osprey book so as you would expect.

Oscar Bitchface: Diane Kruger
She was sitting with Quentin Tarantino. And they shared bitchfaces as Basterds continued to lose. The amazing part is that the camera kept cutting away to them for almost every category. And Diane looked almost more choked than he did. Indeed, she's been the most visible cast member for this movie. Brad Pitt certainly hasn't been all that engaged in the process, and Diane Kruger is the one who's taken it from festival to festival, city to city, party to party, carpet to carpet. Someone tasted the award circuit and looked like she didn't want to let it go.
I don't blame her.
As for Chanel she wore to the event – the back was better than the front, non? The lower black band cuts off at an awkward level. Then she changed into a red one with an unusual zigzag silhouette for Vanity Fair with Joshua Jackson. I like it better.
She and Joshua flew in to LA together from Vancouver. Here they are leaving YVR.

Skin lumps are any abnormal bumps or swellings on the skin.
Most lumps and swellings are benign (not cancerous) and are harmless, especially the kind that feel soft and roll easily under the fingers (such as lipomas).
A lump or swelling that appears suddenly (over 24 to 48 hours) and is painful is usually caused by an injury or an infection.
Skin lumps from trauma can be treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Most other lumps should be looked at by your health care provider before you try any home treatments.
Call your provider if there is any unexplained lump or swelling.
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms, including:
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics if you have an infection. If cancer is suspected or the diagnosis is not apparent on visual inspection, a biopsy may be done.

I've been doing a great deal of research on rehab power chairs. Here is a quote from the Permobil M300 Corpus G3 web page on the Permobil site:
The patent-pending Climbing and Traction Link system connects the drive wheels and casters and performs multiple functions, providing overall stability especially while climbing obstacles and traversing various surfaces. With the Climbing and Traction Link system, the M300 boasts unmatched climbing capabilities - 3" forward and 2" reverse. The large 8" casters and flat-free drive tires with gel inserts help absorb shock, while the solid steel struts lessen the impact of lateral forces. Plus, the Climbing and Traction Link system incorporates an oil-damped shock with a progressive tension spring, so performance can be adjusted to fit an individual's weight and lifestyle needs.
It appears to me that to get the maximum performance out of the the Climbing and Traction Link system (3 inch forward climb and 2 inch backward climb) you need to select the tire/caster package that includes 8 inch casters and flat-free tires with gel inserts." Read this: http://www.permobilus.com/m300.php (paragraph at the top right hand side).
Foam insert tires don't seem to be an option on the order form, only pneumatic or flat free gel filled.
I know a couple of you are in the market to replace your Permobils with a new model. How are your durable medical suppliers interpreting these specifications regarding the Climbing and Traction Link system that is standard with the Permobil M300 Corpus G3?
Have any of you who have had Permobil chairs before had the black tire option? Do they leave black marks on floors?
All the best,

Put CSU money into basketball program
Following his departure from CSU, Sonny Lubick remains a class act; a very tough act to follow. We had more than a decade of unparalleled adventure while watching Sonny's approach to coaching, mentoring, and public relations. At a place like CSU, where funding for football is lukewarm at best (when compared to Big 12 schools), Sonny's reign as head coach was akin to catching lightning in a bottle. His achievements cannot be topped here, unless a major paradigm shift occurs with state funding for CSU.
With all due respect to the governing body of the institution, why keep attempting to make the CSU football program more than what it is cut out to be? It will never approach the booster support enjoyed just down the road in Boulder. Rather, CSU is tucked squarely into the feeble world of the painfully mediocre Mountain West Conference. When compared to the Big 12 it is a pitiful organization that has had a heck of a time just getting Comcast cable to carry their games in metro Denver (where the real prize, college recruiting, is key).
Here's how to place CSU on the national and international map. Do what tiny Gonzaga University does: place the bulk of CSU's intercollegiate sports budget into its basketball program. Make Moby Gym the place where Fort Collins sports fans go for their athletic rituals. It could be done by just moving around money in the existing athletic department budget. On the other hand, if you want a serious hike in money from the state Capitol for a serious football program, you'll first have to slog through a painful battle, orchestrated by all of the friendly libertarians around the state, some of whom hold down prime time slots on talk radio stations up and down the Front Range. Good luck!

Families and Work Institute to honor Barnett
Women's Studies Research Center scientist focuses on stereotypes
Dr. Rosalind Barnett, senior scientist at the Women's Studies Research Center, has been fighting gender inequality and stereotypes her whole career.
It's kept her very busy.
"Once you knock down one stereotype, another one pops right up," says Barnett.
On June 3, the Families and Work Institute in New York City will honor Barnett for her long-time battle for gender equality. The institute, a nonprofit research organization that studies the changing workforce, family and community, will award Barnett and nine other recipients with its 10th annual Work Life Legacy Award.
Barnett has written well over 100 articles and is currently finishing her ninth book. Her work is particularly focused on how gender stereotypes affect women in every stage of life, from childhood to adulthood, from classrooms to boardrooms.
"I am interested in how stereotypes have gotten in the way of women reaching their potential," Barnett said in a recent interview.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Barnett helped dispel the belief that women could not succeed both in the workplace and at home because they had a finite amount of energy. The idea was that if women spent all their energy at work, they couldn't perform their duties at home and visa versa.
Barnett proposed that a person's energy was related to the enjoyment of work rather than the amount of work. If a woman found both her work life and home life rewarding, she could work 60 hours a week and maintain her responsibilities at home, Barnett argued.
More recently, Barnett took on the myth that women can handle multiple roles if – and only if – they don't aim too high in any one area.
If a woman tried to climb the ladder and failed, she was held up as an example of women's limitations, Barnett said. If she succeeded, no one said a word.
"There is a whole group of Mom CEOs out there, with three and fours kids, and no one has ever heard of them," Barnett said.
The latest fad in stereotyping is that women have achieved too much and now it's men who are falling behind. Barnett points to "The End of Men," by Hanna Rosin as an example of such thinking.
To Barnett, these theories are nothing more than "scare stories." Women are still paid less than men, women still have to work harder for promotions, women are still less likely to be mentored, she said. "There is no gender equity."
But that doesn't mean she's pessimistic about the future.
Her next book, "The New Soft War on Women," co-authored with her long-time collaborator Caryl Rivers, is scheduled to be released in October. The book proposes ways to fix the system. Barnett said the solution starts with women, but it doesn't end there.
"Women need to be better advocates for themselves, but corporations, media and government also have to play role and must take these problems seriously," she said. "We certainly aren't going to go backwards."

The background event which made possible the Scopes Evolution Trial (known then popularly as "The Monkey Trial") in Dayton, Tennessee in July, 1925 was the passing in March of that year of a statute (Acts of 1925, ch.27) by the Tennessee legislature which made it unlawful for any teacher in any educational institution supported by the public school funds "to teach any theory that denies the story of the divine creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man descended from a lower order of animals." The statute further stated that "any teacher violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100) not more than five hundred dollars ($500) for each offense."
In the spring of 1925, John Thomas Scopes was a twenty-four year old science teacher at Rhea County High School in Dayton. Among the discussions in the wake of the Tennessee evolution law were those which took place in Dayton at Robinson's Drug Store on Market Street, a favorite gathering place for local citizens. There a small group headed by Earle Robinson, "The Hustling Druggist", and George Rappleyea, Superintendent of Dayton Coal & Iron Company, "conspired" with young Scopes to violate the Tennessee statute to provide a court test case. The original context for the plan appears to have been that of a publicity stunt. The interest and resulting world-wide publicity which quickly developed surprised even the event's planners. The original drug store table at which the decision was made on May 15, 1925 to make a test case is still on view today in the Scopes Museum in the basement of the Rhea County Courthouse in Dayton, Tennessee.
With Scopes' arrest and indictment, the proposed trial took on an interest of national proportions. At one point, nearby Chattanooga, sensing the publicity and economic value of the event, tried to steal the trial away from Dayton in a publicity effort focused in a widely distributed pamphlet entitled, "Why Dayton of All Places?" The prosecution was headed by William Jennings Bryan, who had been thrust into national prominence in 1896 by his "Cross of Gold" speech at the Democratic Convention in Chicago, a speech which was directly responsible for his winning the presidential nomination of his party that year. He was the most celebrated orator of his day and had serviced as Secretary of State in the first administration of Woodrow Wilson; he was also a leader of the fundamentalist forces in the century, of which the science-Bible issue was a facet. Heading the defense was Clarence Darrow, America's most famous criminal lawyer and an agnostic, who came to Dayton fresh from his success in the Chicago Loeb-Leopold murder trial of 1925. He had been contacted by the American Civil Liberties Union. Arthur Garfield Hayes and Dudley Field Malone were two other well-known lawyers of the day who aided the defense.
Hundreds of reporters descended on Dayton for the trial. Press coverage of this trial perhaps exceeded coverage of any event up to the time; and a new device called radio was used to report the proceedings. Newspapers from all over the world sent not just reporters but editors to witness the courtroom battle. The Baltimore Sun sent a team of five writers, the best known of whom was the acerbic H.L. Mencken. It was estimated that 10,000 visitors from far and near overran the town daily. The trial lasted from July 10 to July 21 in one of the hottest and driest Tennessee summers on record.
As a legal contest, the trial dealt with the issue of whether Scopes violated the Tennessee statute in his teaching as a substitute biology teacher(physics was his subject field); but in the overall activites this public interest--academic freedom, tolerance, bigotry, science, evolution and religion--dominated the court. Emotions ran high as did the temperatures, which, together with the overcrowded courtroom conditions, led to moving the trial outside under the shady willow oaks to the north side of the courthouse.
Many viewed the trial as a contest between the two greats, Darrow and Bryan. Indeed, Darrow's interrogation of Bryan was and has remained in terms of interest, one of the major facets of the proceedings. The agreement in advance that Bryan would be granted "equal time" for rebuttal was not carried out as the trial ended abruptly shortly afterwards, the judge apparently having decided that enough fireworks had taken place. Bryan's statement awaited publication after his death. The jury convicted Scopes of violating the law and Judge Raulston fined him $100. Later, the Tennessee Supreme Court overturned the conviction on the technicality that the jury, rather than the judge, should have set the fine. Bryan died in his sleep on a Sunday afternoon five days after the trial. The aging Darrow returned to Chicago to live until 1938, and Scopes drifted, by the fall of 1925, to the Unversity of Chicago where his study of geology led him to a career in the oil industry in Louisiana.

Get a sneak peek at South Side library renovations on Saturday
May 1, 2012
With just a few months remaining until the library reopens to the public, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – South Side, 2205 East Carson Street, will host a preview for community members from 9:30 – 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 5 to tour the building and view the renovation progress.
Constructed in 1909, CLP – South Side was one of the city's first neighborhood libraries. The building is currently undergoing a $2.7 million renovation, including the addition of a much-needed air conditioning system and the replacement of an antiquated heating system.
Monumental front entrance stairs are being incorporated into the design to mimic the original plans of the library's main entrance. When completed, visitors will be welcomed into the space through a sky lit Reading Lounge and day lit Popular Library. The Children's Room and "Nook" is being preserved and will house computers.
The introduction of an elevator in the building will make all three levels fully accessible and will maximize all available floor space for much broader use. The current basement is being transformed into a large Meeting Room that will accommodate up to 100 people, while the second floor will contain a staff lounge and a smaller Seminar Room.
As with all Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh renovations, CLP – South Side will be renovated to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards and will be fully accessible in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
CLP – South Side is the Library's 11th Capital Improvement project under its Libraries for LIFE capital campaign. A project overview and designs are available online at http://www.carnegielibrary.org.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has listed the rollout of a national broadband network as one of the reasons he wants to become an Australian.
Mr Wozniak told The Australian Financial Review in Sydney that he had spoken to Communications Minister Stephen Conroy and was in support of the federal government's fibre rollout.
"I spoke to him and they plan to roll it out to everyone in the country," Mr Wozniak said.
"I support it very much. It's one of the reasons why I actually like this country and want to become a citizen. I live in a country where we don't have any regulation of telecommunications."
In Australia for the launch of the Apple iPhone 5 last week, Wozniak told Brisbane's 4BC breakfast radio that he was "underway to become an Australian citizen".
"It turns out I can keep my American citizenship. I intend to call myself an Australian and feel an Australian, and study the history and become as much of a real citizen here as I can."
Despite his status as a technology icon, Mr Wozniak said he was not connected to a broadband service in his home in California, classing the options available to him as a "monopoly". "There's only one set of wires to be on and I'm not going to pull strings to get them to do something special for me," he said. "When I worked at Hewlett-Packard we treated ourselves like a family and protecting each other and I believe in that.
"I've sat with our FCC [Federal Communications Commission] commissioner and told him that story in his office, but it's not going to happen. We just don't have the political idea to bring broadband to all the people who are 1 kilometre too far away."
Mr Wozniak was in Sydney to meet customers and partners of his employer, server-based flash manufacturer Fusion-io, a NYSE-listed technology company that speeds up traditional access to data.
It boasts Facebook and Apple as large global clients and Woolworths and Westpac as local customers.
"I'm not an expert on banking but bankers have told us how important this technology is to them and it is one of our big customer areas," he said. "Some success in banking is all done in computers nowadays, not through humans, and milliseconds matter, the speed of transactions matter to them."
Mr Wozniak co-founded Apple – the world's most valuable company – with Steve Jobs in 1976 and created the original Apple computer. A philanthropist and author, the tech guru has amassed a global fan base since leaving Apple in 1987.
He said Silicon Valley was today abuzz with start-up activity, defying US economic woes. "There's a lot going on right now in Silicon Valley; the recession aspects just really don't hit us at all." He said he would help young start-ups, time permitting.
"I'm just meeting people when I can, really young entrepreneurs, just inspiring them. I'm incredibly busy just speaking around the world on many different topics," he said.
In a visit earlier this year he told the AFR he feared the torrent of intellectual property lawsuits being filed by companies such as Apple, Samsung, Google, HTC and Nokia because they could prevent future entrepreneurs from treading a path to technology fortune.
"I care so much about the young person that has some technical knowledge and want to start their own business," he said.
A true gadget enthusiast, Mr Wozniak lined up outside the Apple store in Chermside in suburban Brisbane on Friday to buy the iPhone 5 where he tweeted: "In line for first iPhone 5's in the world! (@ Apple Store w/ 2 others)."

Located along the spine are knots called Granthis that inhibit and sometimes block the flow of Kundalini energy up the spine. These knots are part of our protection against sudden and inappropriate Kundalini activity. The guided mantra and visualization meditation on this CD gently eases the Granthis open, allowing the Kundalini energy to flow more easily and safely through the spine.

Kudos to Cantaloupe
Bright orange slices of cantaloupe are a summertime favorite! But how much do you know about this delicious melon? It turns out, there's a lot of nutrition hiding under that unassuming rind…and a story that spans 600 years!
While there's still debate as to when and where cantaloupe originated, the name was inspired by the town of Cantaloupo, near Rome in Italy. There, cantaloupes were grown in the 1400s, using seeds brought from Armenia. Cantaloupe is part of the muskmelon family, and is a member of the same plant family as cucumbers, pumpkins, squashes, gourds and numerous other melons.
How it's grown: Cantaloupe grows on a vine on the ground, much like other melons. It grows best in a hot, dry climate with a relatively long growing season. Many of the cantaloupes available in the U.S. are imported from countries such as Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Mexico. California is the largest producer of cantaloupe domestically.
How to shop for it: A ripe melon will feel slightly heavy for its size. The stem end should be smooth and well-rounded and should give a little when lightly pressed. If it gives too much, the melon is overripe. Finally, the blossom end of the melon (opposite the stem end) will be fragrant and have a sweet, musky aroma. If the scent is faint or nonexistent, the melon is not ripe. Look for a melon with uniform color and little to no visible bruising.
How to store it: An uncut, underripe cantaloupe can be stored at room temperature until it's ripe. However, store whole ripe cantaloupes in the refrigerator, preferably in a crisper drawer, for up to 4 days after purchase. Once cut, the cantaloupe pieces can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
How to prepare it: Cantaloupe should be rinsed with cold water immediately prior to slicing. Handle cantaloupe with clean, freshly washed hands. Clean knives and cutting surfaces should also be used. First, cut the melon in half from the stem end, then scoop the seeds out before slicing it into wedges.
How to eat it: Cantaloupe seeds can make a quick snack. Place the seeds in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water. The seeds should be placed in a single layer on a cookie sheet and then lightly roasted at 160° F for 15-20 minutes. Cantaloupe prepared with a melon baller can be used for a refreshing caprese salad with mozzarella balls, basil and prosciutto. Also try sliced melon with chili flakes and lime juice for a unique and flavorful twist.
Nutritional highlights: Cantaloupe is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, in addition to potassium, dietary fiber, B vitamins, folate, magnesium, copper and vitamin K.
