ZooBorns: Baby Beluga at Shedd Aquarium - At 6:36 AM yesterday morning, Chicago's Shedd Aquarium welcomed a bouncing baby beluga calf to 23 year old mother, Puiji! Approximately 5' 4" long and 162lbs., the calf has been determined to be male. For many baby animals, the first few hours, days and even weeks are a critical period and during this time... - http://www.zooborns.com/zooborn...

It pains me to admit this, but I'm not sure I care enough about any cause to wear that :P

Actually, Threadsy is pretty impressive, I just forgot about it. LOL. My initial write-up on it is here http://j.mp/5JExhj - They add list support for Twitter and it would be infinitely more useful.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

That is awesome! I love Indiana - and not just b/c she resembles another little gray cat we know.
- Katy S
Spidra, me too! She is yawning but she almost looks like she is yelling or something odd. Suezanne, she is real, she is a very odd little cat, but very real. Katy, totally! I would say that Plum and Indiana should meet someday but Indy has a bit of a stick up her but about other cats (it even takes her some time to adjust to the kittens). They are both such cool cats though!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Maybe, but Virginia thinks Rachel is adorable!
- Ladybug Heather
Thanks Heather. Wait, all of Virginia thinks I'm adorable? I mean I know they did when I was 2 yo and lived there, but now? Goodness, that is a lot of people for Kevin to fight off. Well, all of Indiana will have to stare them down! ;)
- Rachel Lea Fox
Well, I am sure Indiana finds that it isn't as exciting as pillaging tombs, raiding lost artifacts or fighting Nazi's
- RAPatton
RAPatton, actually I think this is her "I haven't had an adventure in a long time, can't someone lose an important artifact to the Nazi's please" look. I'm sure I'll find her hunting Nazi's in the rafters in just a few days. ;)
- Rachel Lea Fox
I'm with Suezanne. Have the Cat hold today's paper.
- Mark Krynsky
I don't have today's paper Mark. But I'll find something later. In other news Indiana takes good care of me and brought me my slippers. She always tries to make sure I keep my feet warm and don't catch a cold! :)

It seems as though lately everyone wants to remind me that I’m still single. They act like being 31 and single is a horrible thing, and so they are constantly bringing up my relationship status. It started around 30. People would look at me with sympathetic eyes and feel sorry for the [...]

drives me nuts too (" you have never been married " - while they look at me like a have 2 heads)
- Tracy Benham
I guess I am getting more of it cause I'm over 30 now. No idea
- Shevonne
"You feel more alone when you are constantly battling with someone, who isn’t putting into the relationship as much as you are". Sooo right :)

I am a librarian. More specifically I am the head of access & delivery services at North Carolina State University's Libraries. I travel mostly to give presentations at conferences.

What's a merging service point? Computer interface?
- SAM
My department used to have several service desks (where patrons could get assistance with a variety of library services). We merged two units and took on an additional lending service. I am presenting about the merger process: the prep, the training, the reality, lessons learned, and future plans.

Last week I presented at a conference in Missouri on how to deal with personnel and performance issues. I tend to write and speak about several different topics.
- Mary Carmen
I pitch the topic and they select. I manage a dept of 34 people so.....I have some experience with performance management. ;-)
- Mary Carmen
Cool and there is this library circuit awaiting good content?
- SAM
yeah, i like to think so. I thought last week's preso went extraordinarily well, but maybe people who were there can speak to it, as I may be baised ;-)
- Mary Carmen
Had me some Negro Modelo this evening... what's your flavor?
- SAM
Well I love Belgian beer. My fave is Westveleteren. Tonight I drank Terrapin's Big Hoppy Monster. I also love Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Terrapin's Wake & Bake and Victory's Golden Monkey.
- Mary Carmen
Good names... not familiar with most but "Big Hoppy Monster" sounds awesome... my beer making gear has been in storage while we're under construction, but I'll put you at top of the list for a "care package" next fall when we pull out the gear.
