Going w/hawk. "Hawks may leave behind a carcass. However, the carcasses is usually left whole and you will find tufts of fur or pieces of skin and fur scattered around the carcass. Hawk do not like to eat fur, skin, or bones. The rabbit’s neck will be dislocated or broken and the chest cavity will be punctured will talon marks." <--Exactly this. Blecch.

OK, a bunch of people here posted about being on the verge of getting BrowZine trials. What'd y'all think? Competitors that I've found are http://theonlinenewsstand.org/ and Read by QxMD.
I'm still waiting on Android. Is that out yet? Apple trial is no good for me.

We have Browzine, and it seems to work pretty good.
- Joe Boone
did you get both platforms? (i* and android)
- awd
We don't have the android yet, as far as I know.

UC Libraries had it on trial through end of April. I used the iOS version and I hope they pick it up as a regular service.
- henry
I am a strong supporter of mobile platform development, but there's no way that my library is going to pay for an app that is charging us for content that we already have. The fact that they think that each platform is a separate cost item also suggests to me that they should be selling the app directly to users, and building it so that it connects to institutional content.

You have to load your SFX into the thing though? I'm not sure how that would work if it were an app sold to individual users. They'd have no idea what they should have access to.
- Meg V. Meg
SFX does offer APIs for developers that can connect to particular institutions' knowledge bases. It could be done.
- Laura Krier
In fact, I would LOVE an app that let me connect to journals (and ebooks) that my institution subscribes to and save, organize, and annotate articles.
- Laura Krier
Isn't that what's being done through BrowZine? My point is that, if the app were sold directly to individual users (rather than institutions), then how would the users have access to SFX holdings info.
- Meg V. Meg
My impression from when I spoke to them -- before they split the platforms -- that this was a cost thing. They could get iOS up and running and bringing in money and then could work on the Android side (and they were seeing, at that time, significantly lower demand for Android). I guess my take is, these guys are clearly start-ups, and expecting them to be the Big Boys isn't the right...

I'm still pretty on the fence about BrowZine, so I;m really curious -- what made you tip to the trial? What about it makes you feel this is something enough users want and will use, to justify the price? And how are you telling folks? And how are evaluating whether or not to keep it?

If airports count, then I've got New Jersey in there. Forgot about Newark. (Probably for the best, yuck). Oh! And Arlington's in Virginia. Oh well, close enough. #mapmeme

Anyone have a whole chicken slow cooker recipe they love? I've been using the brined chicken but this time I got a plain one. Maybe asian-y? I'm pretty open.
I generally just throw in some onion, carrot, celery and potato underneath and around with some herbs and a bit of salt and cook on low for the day. When it is done, swipe off the skin, add a little more salt and broil until crispy. Drain the veggies, and then make a quick pan sauce with the liquid and usually add in a bit more of the herbs I used.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I like to juice a lime into the slow cooker, then put the rind into the chicken cavity. You can put some fresh ginger in there, too. Salt and pepper to taste, and just cook it like that. I usually just eat it plain, it tastes so yummy, but it's really nice thrown into a stir-fry too. And if you do garlic instead of ginger, it goes really well in tacos.

Sorry SFX-discuss-L, I'm going to have to admit that my 6 month leave did me in. Right click, Mark All As Read. *sigh of relief*
slow enough here that I might assume that it's down. Wait, no, it just loaded the search screen, so not down, but not precisely "up," either.
- Catherine Pellegrino
Ok, yeah finally loaded here. So very, very slow.

Our e-resources-tech person emailed all-staff to say that JSTOR is having a major server outage.
- RepoRat
I'll do the same here... JSTOR is major-slow (even the beta interface has failed as "too busy")

I'm not in tech srvs, but our TS department has had open houses for the rest of us. They put out a pretty impressive spread, btw. I think the key would be not to expect your staff to be working while the public services hordes storm through. Of course, demonstrating how things work is super fun. In these parts, bindery is the coolest. Book presses! Huge papercutters!

Three times now I've lost my Fitbit and had to take the laptop around the house seeing where it will sync. Twice it's been in the car. Once I tore apart my living room only to find it was upstairs, heh. Maybe I should superglue it on?
I lost mine, then bought a new one, then found the old one like a day or two later. I've found my FitBit tucked into the fitted sheet on my mattress, for goodness sake. These things get lost ANYWHERE!

It's Easter, so that means schaum torte! Yum x 1 million.
Baby bunny in backyard! (Say that 10x fast) Also quail galore (no babies yet). And hiker warned us of baby rattler on trail. Spring has definitely sprung here!
