Reading about the methods of raising cattle, pigs and chickens for mass food production just takes your breath away in the scope of its cruelty and distain for the most basic needs of the animals as well as the workers. However, I most enjoyed the individual profiles of rescued animals. Gene Baur is an excellent writer, very sensitive to both the animals he is defending and the people who read about the appalling practices in our food production industry.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14931494581351335487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982444182491289579.post-6587783072633862082008-03-11T12:59:00.000-07:002008-03-11T13:04:04.913-07:00Majestic Eagle<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8kOvVB3Q2ni6igf19DzxqIMk8oTX6CAKITjuYTLujnMHFsYw9Ty-SJJ_KNVY9xOAYbcGH2ZZhrBTzcIqXO71DvZ4BsnRdpo8bWqfjlqBJ9z0eETE0Ia-XtzvwM6ZbDO1vWEORPqM9dqs/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176576634488506722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8kOvVB3Q2ni6igf19DzxqIMk8oTX6CAKITjuYTLujnMHFsYw9Ty-SJJ_KNVY9xOAYbcGH2ZZhrBTzcIqXO71DvZ4BsnRdpo8bWqfjlqBJ9z0eETE0Ia-XtzvwM6ZbDO1vWEORPqM9dqs/s320/images.jpg" border="0" /></a> This eagle just caught a large fish!<br /><div></div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14931494581351335487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982444182491289579.post-24304589717424971852008-03-09T11:43:00.000-07:002008-03-11T12:57:02.149-07:00American Bald Eagle<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt0xulC8s9M2p3gQNoG42K210GAYlUbUDCVI6_EpINEiIaSenJIu246D-z09GJzi6v809O9AquxrRCEJEMR0_TPLnPmkuhNr-4KUjcpzENW3WII2yUzpw74Cj2x1ff_F4uZJee-eJG6Zw/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176574005968521554" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt0xulC8s9M2p3gQNoG42K210GAYlUbUDCVI6_EpINEiIaSenJIu246D-z09GJzi6v809O9AquxrRCEJEMR0_TPLnPmkuhNr-4KUjcpzENW3WII2yUzpw74Cj2x1ff_F4uZJee-eJG6Zw/s320/images.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>My husband's class saw 21 Bald Eagles during a recent field trip to the Susquehanna River in Harford County, Maryland.

With the New Year comes new learning experiences and exciting times. I will begin a comprehensive library training course in February. LATI, Library Associate Training Institute, will be 16 weeks of on-line and face-to-face training in the latest information and knowledge required for the 21st century. New skills and expanding lines of communication and creativity are the goals I hope to achieve.

Time, space, and physical borders appear to no longer confine a person who has something to communicate. It is exciting to have access to technologies that encompass all human endeavors and knowledge. This sharing is changing the world and hopefully generating greater understanding among all people.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14931494581351335487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982444182491289579.post-6913488190921768452007-10-09T13:10:00.000-07:002007-10-09T13:20:35.420-07:00On Spreadsheets, Youtube, and Project GutenburgI had some fun finding on-line spreadsheets and word documents.

Then I visited <a href="http://www.libraryjournal.com/">www.libraryjournal.com</a> and read about library 2.0. I also visited liblogs.albany.edu/library20 and read about the many ways technology is redefining the role and services of libraries.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14931494581351335487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982444182491289579.post-55292847653042239092007-10-08T17:14:00.000-07:002007-10-08T17:20:15.165-07:00Technorati, tagsI explored Technorati and found Boing Boing which is apparently the world's most popular blog. I looked at other popular blogs and observed how tags worked to help people find like-minded bloggers and/or people interested in the same subjects.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14931494581351335487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982444182491289579.post-53963677575955118092007-10-08T16:50:00.000-07:002007-10-09T13:05:44.912-07:00Rollyo, Del.icio.us, wikipediaI visited <a href="http://www.rollyo.com/">http://www.rollyo.com/</a> and searched authorsontheweb and bookwolf, among other sites. I discovered some new authors and read about the process of writing. Also, I researched genres of writing that I don't usually read, such as horror. It was interesting and fun. After that I visited del.icio.us and found sites for every subject imaginable. I searched wikipedia for explanations for some of the more technical subjects. I often use <a href="http://www.wikipedia.com/">www.wikipedia.com</a> to get a broad overview of a subject or as a starting point to find information.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14931494581351335487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982444182491289579.post-90405983842547167612007-10-07T17:34:00.000-07:002007-10-07T18:06:58.193-07:00A few of my favorite books<a href="http://www.librarything.com/">http://www.librarything.com/</a><br /><br />Random books from <a href="http://www.librarything.com/catalog/storyteller3" target="_top">my library</a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0143035002/ref=nosim/librarythin08-20" target="_new"></a><a href="http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?book=21934272" target="_top">Anna Karenina (Oprah's Book Club)</a> by <a href="http://www.librarything.com/author/tolstoyleo" target="_top">Leo Tolstoy</a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0066238501/ref=nosim/librarythin08-20" target="_new"></a><a href="http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?book=21934669" target="_top">The Chronicles of Narnia</a> by <a href="http://www.librarything.com/author/lewiscs" target="_top">C.

From the loc blog , I linked to <a href="http://www.usa.gov/">http://www.usa.gov/</a>. I explored some of the catalog, took a Naturalization Test, and then clicked on images. I chose to look at Washington DC images first. The photos were generated by NASA, the Navy, and individual Senators among others. Absolutely amazing pictures! Then I decided to look through photographs at loc. I just went to the Prints and Photographs Online Catalog. It was incredible, so varied and comprehensive.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14931494581351335487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982444182491289579.post-56723427808054094322007-10-02T17:06:00.000-07:002007-10-03T18:05:43.963-07:00Exploring the Library of CongressI am having fun discovering the LOC website and the LOC Blog.

I started with Togo in West Africa and narrowed my search to Agou Iboe', a village where my son is now living as a PeaceCorps volunteer. I found that Agou Iboe' is at the foot of the highest mountain in Togo, Mount Agou. It certainly looked very remote and rugged. From there I visited Paris and checked out cathedrals and museums and followed the Seine through the city. Then I traveled to London, one of my favorite cities in the world. It was in London that I discovered the photo site Panoramio. Lots of beautiful photos were posted throughout London. From London I went to Washington DC, finding more great Panoramio photos and a baseball site baseballindc.com. I visited Charleston, South Carolina and then just continued down the coast from SC to Florida. What a fasinating and fun tool to use!Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14931494581351335487noreply@blogger.com0
