A few weeks ago, my friends Alice, Cathy and Cynthia met up in the center of the state for lunch - halfway for all of us in Leominster (pronounced Lemonster if you live in Massachusetts). It was just what I needed after this really long winter. These friends are kindred creative spirits and when we get together we always share what we are making, gossip about industry and crafting news, and how things are generally going in our lives.
It was sort of like an old-fashioned sewing circle without the sewing because we were tucked into the corner of a busy Panera Restaurant and I doubt they would have liked it if we stayed longer than we did. After lunch, we discovered a huge Jo-Ann's Fabric Store. I'm not a fan of chains but now with the loss of so many indie fabric stores, this chain is one of the last catering to the home sewer and crafter. The one we visited was stocked with all kinds a fantastic products. Seriously, I have never been in a nicer Jo-Ann's. It had an incredible selection of quilting fabrics, all kinds of tools for sewing, embroidery, quilting, scrapbooking supplies, cake decorating, books. The lighting was good and the staff friendly and helpful.
At lunch, there were some knitting projects shared and Cynthia knit while we chatted. She was having a bit of a problem with instructions she didn't understand and Alice had the answer. Alice had on a beautiful guernsey sweater from an old Rowan mag. Cathy smuggled in some of her outrageous homemade brownies that we ate after lunch. I brought a few review copies of some new books, including the one I am writing about today - Bibliocraft by Jessica Pigza.
It is fun when you get to dish with friends about a new book. Of the three books I had with me, this was by far the favorite of all my friends. Here is why - it is extremely useful if you are a designer or crafter making things and being inspired by things of the past. The author Jessica Pigza is a Rare Book Librarian who works at the NY Public Library. Can you imagine that job? Really - to be close to the collections of some of the most amazing things in the world in one of the biggest cities in the world. Seriously - this girl is lucky.
What we all liked about this book is that it had what I call "meat" or maybe you might call substance. In the beginning of Bibliocraft, she explains things about libraries that I didn't know existed. From the library system (branch, research, special collections), to how to find the right library for you (mindblowing info here), to how to plan a library visit (yes - there is a proper way), to how to search. Bibliocraft explains things that I think only librarians know and she does it in a way normal people can understand. Jessica introduces Digital Libraries (with all kinds of links to stumble down that rabbit hole of endless information on the web).
Then there is the chapter on Library Collections - this information for an artist, crafter, and maker is pretty amazing. It is a listing of sources of collections of books - where to go to find inspirational things from craft, home economics, book arts, costume, children's books and more - a lot more.
There is a section on Copyright and what is right and what is wrong to do. There are a lot of people who should read this! She tells her reader what is acceptable and what is not to take and use.
After all this incredibly useful information, there are 20 projects that are designed by "in" crafters, authors, and names in design including but not limited to Jodi Kahn, Mary Corbet , Anna Bondoc, Haley Pierson-Cox, Heather Ross, Natalie Chanin, Grace Bonney, Liesl Gibson, Rebecca Ringquist and more - many are STC authors which should be no surprise since STC/Melanie Falick Crafts published the book. Here is a giant cross-stitch on pegboard by Hailey Pierson-Cox inspired by Illuminated Manuscripts.
inspired by these beautiful graphics - what we might now call "logos."
Bibliocraft isn't your normal craft book because it is so jam full of useful information. Sure you could find it on the web but this is all in one spot that you can keep on your bookshelf for reference. Maybe if you are a librarian you know all this - and I know there are some of you who are! But if you are like me - this is a very helpful book. If you are a knitter or crocheter, you probably wouldn't look at this book if you heard about it - there are no knit or crochet projects in it. But if you are into other art and crafts and like to dabble in all kinds of projects, this book will be very useful.
Tomorrow I will share with you a project I made inspired by Bibliocraft. For today, I've got a giveaway for one lucky reader.

I have many happy library memories, but here's one of my favorites. When my children were young, we lived in Williamstown, MA and went frequently to the town library. Our family, unusual because we have six children, was well known to all the librarians. We were regulars at story hour and we routinely walked out of the library with tote bags FULL! Every year, just after Thanksgiving, the library staff would put out the Christmas books and I would make a beeline to the "T's" where I would check out Becky's Christmas by Tasha Tudor. It is one of my all-time favorite books and was one we read again and again, year after year. (I now own a used copy which my sweet husband bought for me several years ago - it's a treasure). Anyway, fast forward to this Christmas ... we no longer live in MA but received a card this year from friends with young children, who still frequent the Williamstown library. It said, "I just checked out Becky's Christmas from the library ... I'm very glad for the computerized library system, but also smile to see that [your family] checked out that book every year from 1994-1998!" (the library left the old cards and pockets in the back of the books).
I just love that little bit of family history and the continuity of loving a book and sharing it with friends, even across the years and miles. It's the library that made that possible!
Great book giveaway! Thanks, as always.
I love my local library. The staff are friendly and helpful. I had only lived here a few months when I walked in one day to pick up the book I had on hold. I wandered a bit to look for something else, then came up to the circulation desk. I told Dorothy that I had a book on hold. She said, yes she knew and had gotten it off the hold shelf for me because she saw me come in. Now that is service with a heart.
The library has been my one starting point for getting to quickly know a new town. We moved a lot, every year or two. Which meant that my personal library was culled frequently. I always headed straight to the 700s (crafts and design) and the garden sections to see where the local interests focused. And of course, to learn something new.
Even today, the library is on my checklist when visiting. I love the old village Carnegie libraries and the sparkling newer architectural metropolitan libraries.
Thanks for bringing back fond memories.
My Kindergarten teacher was a librarian, very tiny town in Southern Missouri and she would pick us up, wouldn't happen today! but she would be the bus driver and then the teacher. Our "classroom" was the children's section of a wonderful old public library building. I think this was the beginning of my life-long love of libraries. They are still one of my favorite spots.
My favorite books as a child were the Wizard of Oz series. One year after we watched the movie on TV my father gave me the first book to read (I'd had no idea there even was a book), and when I devoured it I got the second, and the third, and pretty soon had finished all 30-plus in the series. I lived in that magical world for months. The books were my dad's when he was a kid, and the love of reading is a huge part of my family heritage.
My mom was an elementary school librarian, so we spent a lot of time at the public library, where the school board library department was housed. One day, when I had accompanied her to the library, we ran into a teacher-friend of hers who happened to have a horse. Now, she knew I was horse-crazy, (I'd been asking for a horse since I was 3), and invited me to come out to "the barn" where her horse was boarded, ANY TIME, to visit and ride. On the day Mom took me out there, there JUST happened to be a very nice horse for sale and I got SO excited! My hopes were soaring, even though Mom warned me that my chances were slim. That night, when my dad got home from work, I pleaded my case while my mom sat quietly waiting to console me when my dad said no. Well, he said YES!!! My mom jumped up in surprise and protest, but before she could say a word I ran to the phone to call the owners of the horse to tell them that yes, yes I COULD buy Princess, the Arabian mare. She was my first of two horses I owned in my school years, and it all came about because of that chance meeting at the public library.
One of my favorite books is Everyday Sacred by Sue Bender. It helped me look at my life differently, seeing every moment as a possibility for spiritual practice. I also use it as an excuse to buy inexpensive flowers to brighten up my house!
Oh, I am such a library girl. My hometown library had a 'mean' librarian who expected kids to behave and be quiet in the library. I used to bring my developmentally disabled younger brother with me somtimes, and check out books for him. One day she asked if he could sign his own name, the requirement for having your own library card in those days. He could, and she insisted then and there he needed his OWN card. He was so proud. She also saved books that were about to be discarded if they were a topic she knew he liked, like airplanes and dinosaurs. I will never forget her kindness. Mrs. Renwick, I still think of you.
Up through high school I was at the town library constantly - it fostered my love of mysteries as well as allowed me to sample lots of 60s rock - even artists that were fairly not mainstream (Iggy Pop). Your description of this book has intrigued me, even though I am mostly a spinner, knitter, crocheter, I do want to get back into sewing.
When I was a kid, our library (which was very small), had a fireplace with a bearskin rug in front of it. Some of my favorite memories are of lying on the rug and reading. I would pet his nose and ears. I think every other child did too and we wore the fur off of his ears.
When my kids were little, we lived in a small town with no real 'center'--except a small park and the library. As my boys became more independent in their play, I would let them do their own thing while staying in the same room. This didn't lead to lots of cleaning, and I wasn't yet a knitter. That left books! I was constantly on waiting lists for books that I wanted to read, and made multiple trips in to pick books up every week. They got to know me so well that when they saw me walk in my books would already be pulled from the shelf and waiting for me. Occasionally, they would have finished the check out process by the time I reached the counter! When we moved, our new library was much bigger and less personal. I still miss that little town!
My first job out of college was within walking distance of the main Seattle library. Part of my job was as a messenger, and I could take my break zipping in to find new books to read.
Libraries have always been like home to me. When I was growing up, there was an old library within walking distance of my mother's office, and I went there to visit the sweet librarian, Miss Kate, and check out books while waiting for my mother. Later, as my husband, children and I moved from town to town, one of the first things we did was to find our local library and get library cards! But now, one of the best things is that I have become an active member of the Friends of the Library in my home suburb in South Carolina. It's a joy! We meet monthly 8 months of the year, and two to three times a year we hold used book sales. I just love getting to be a bookseller on book sale days, helping children and adults find the perfect book for them. I have good friends in the group too, and we have a great time working together. Our little group raises thousands of dollars for the library branch yearly, so that they can pay for special programs and extra things the county budget can't provide. Thank you for this chance to tell you how special libraries are to me.
No matter where I travel to, I always scout out the local library. They are the familiar in an unfamiliar place. My co-workers can't believe I'd bother to find a library while on vacation, but exploring the differences while enjoying the familiar is my idea of fun.
I can't even think of one story. The library has been an integral part of my life as long as I can remember. I grew up in a small village and the library was the center of life. It was located across the street from a stately row of churches. The library was special because while I might go to the Presbyterian and my best friend to the Catholic we ALL went to the library. I remember one magical summer when they offered a puppetry class. It was the perfect thing for a crafy, bookish girl. We read stories then created puppets, banners and scenery. Heaven!
I am retired after over 40 years of working in libraries in Massachusetts and luckily live close enough to have gotten to know Kristin and Mark, "the farmer". It is heartening to read the stories about what libraries have meant to everyone leaving comments here, and how Kristin and friends really enjoyed Bibliocraft and its hints about navigating libraries,finding what you want/need and learning all the kinds of information libraries now offer. Many have predicted the demise of libraries due to the Internet, but actually libraries are busier than ever according to the American Library Association.
So thank you Kristin for bringing libraries to the farm and your blog!!!
If there is such a thing, I think I might have "BIBLIO-BLOOD" or perhaps, a "BIBLIO-GENE"..? -- One of my Father's maternal Aunts used to work at THE BRITISH LIBRARY [she even wrote a few books on libraries]. Then one of Dad's first jobs when he came to Canada was at the PARLIAMENT LIBRARY. As for me, I've had a fascination with books since I was a toddler. Although, perhaps a bit on the "destructive"-side... I remember that I used to enjoy carefully peeling off the pages of paperback books, then neatly stacking the sheets and securing them with elastic bands... Weird, I know. But, I suppose that it was my "cleric"-ness coming out.
Anyhoo, I began actually *working* in my grade-school library when I was 10. And later, in my high-school one. Meanwhile, I was amassing my own rather large collection of various tomes... Eventually, I ended up working for what was the Country's largest technical/science library for the next 27 years as a library-technician[clerk] - and, getting to tell Nobel-Prize-Winning-Scientists "where to *discover* themselves"! -- yes. I have actually worked with "Rocket Scientists"!
However, although I've been "retired" for almost a decade, *MY*-LIBRARY still grows... Yard Sale FINDS have been a goldmine-resource of "Table-Top" Reference books! - As convenient as DIGITAL information is, there is still NO comparison to actually *holding* a Hardcopy IN your hands! - So, when a once $50.+ book goes for a Dollar, just watch me start STACKING!
BTW, between my Mother and I, we probably have enough Needle-art and Crafting books to open up a Library! - But MORE are always welcomed! - Now, I just have to LIVE to 120 to get around to finding the time to "flipping" through my Collection!!
I am the mother of quadruplets - three girls and one boy. They are 25 years old now. However, when they were little I used to take them to bookstores all the time. Libraries didn't work for us because of the whole quiet thing. Book stores were perfect. We would go to Barnes and Noble, spend time choosing books and music, go to the cafe for a snack, (I loved their chai tea!) then head home listening to our new CD in the van. When we arrived at home we would get cozy in our living room and devour our new purchases.
We also had our favorite independent bookstore. There, the owner Sally, would chat with each of my children then suggest a book she thought they would love. She was always right on.
All four of my children still love to read, and we still love to visit bookstores! I am grateful that bookstores were readily available when my children were growing up.
Libraries have been part of my knitting since I took my first class in Seattle in the early '90s. After three classes we were still learning how to cast on, and the knit and pearl stitches. Bored, I went to the library and discovered Elizabeth Zimmermann--a fortunate find, although not surprising because there really weren't that many knitting books anywhere! So, anyway, 6 years ago I was feeling broke and promised myself I would not buy any new hardback books. I was at the Hadley MA Barnes and Noble and I found this gorgeous color knitting book, by Kristin Nicholas! Using my new smart phone (a gift) I found it at the Northampton library and put it on hold. Whew! I LOVE libraries! Sadly, or perhaps not, the book was so lovely and to my taste, that within 2 months I bought myself a copy, and another for a friend.
One of my wonderful memories of books is when in the first grade I had a teacher whose name was Mrs. Whitebread. She would take time out of the day to read to us. She read Anne of Green Gables books and Laura Ingalls books. As a child I sensed how much she cared about her students and wanted to pass on that love of reading. I am 52 now so that was quite awhile ago. The memory of her has stuck with me.
My brother and I lived with our grandparents in a small town in Minn. when we were in grade school. The Carnegie library was at the end of the block. I was misdiagnosed with rheumatic fever when I was 8 and spent spring through fall of that year on bed-rest. My grandmother would bring shopping bags of books home. My cat and I happily read through the seasons. Turned out I had a heart murmur I grew out of and a love for books that I didn't.
I enjoyed reading every single comment. I too grew up loving libraries. I was born in England and, as a child, I was an inveterate reader. We used to lug the maximum number of loanable books home each week for me. I was often ill with bronchitis and my Mother would would. Are the trek to bring me seven at a time - not easy when you. Have to take a bus and walk a distance. I'd left one book 'till last, as it just didn't seem appealing...finally I was desperate enough to read it...and discovered one of my all time favorite's "The Secret Garden". One of the most difficult aspects of emigrating to the US was having to get rid of so many of my books, all favored friends.
Hi Kristin, I was an only child, shy, not many close friends. When I was in 2nd grade, a friend who lived behind me asked if I'd like to go to the library with her. My mom let me go with Karen and her mom to the local branch. They had a car so I'm sure we drove. Karen helped me get my first library card and select some books I could read. That afternoon a whole new world opened up to me. I have a lifelong reader ever since. Many times my mom and I would walk the half hour it took to get there, we had no car. Once I was old enough I would use my school bus pass to take myself. I will always be grateful to Karen who opened up the world to me.
I stumbled upon this post and enjoyed reading it. Now I am curious about the book you reviewed and will look for it.
Growing up in the mountains of western Washington during the 40s and 50s, my first library came on wheels - the BOOKMOBILE! What a magical kingdom it presented when it pulled off to the side of the road near our farm.
When a corner of our school lunchroom room was partitioned off with shelves full of books it allowed more access but lost a definite appeal.
Books and crafting (along with other "vices") still hold me in their grip.
Imagine now being able to access my local library via my computer and ordering any book of choice!!
I don't know what I would do without the library. I love the way I can reserve things on line now, but also I wander through to look at the shelves, almost every week. The women at the circulation desk know me and have my reserved book ready when I check out.
I still remember the smell and look of the Little House on the Prairie series from almost 60 years ago. My daughter spent many, many hours in the library. She is now a librarian.
I have many fond library memories - starting as a child visiting our local public library in the Bronx! Years later, as a young art educator, I couldn't afford all the beautiful art history and technique books that called my name from our local bookstore - so back to the library I went and rediscovered the glorious '700' section (Dewey Decimal) in depth once again! The hours spent in the racks pouring over art history facts and visual images contributed to the depth of my art-knowledge imparted to adolescents at the beginning of a long teaching career!
About 15 years later, and earning sufficient money to start my own art library for my students, I met and married a Brit whose mid-life crisis led him to the states and change in career path. He became a research librarian at the college level, and obtained a position at a small arts/humanities college in the NY metropolitan area. With his position came my re-acquaintance to the treasures of an academic library (using Library of Congress classification) technology, and data bases. When visiting, I set up in my little corner near the window, surrounded in the delights of design and dada, and drift into my own creative world armed with sketchbook and laptop...and plan on all the creative journeys yet to come in my new found retirement!
I taught young children in both preschool and Kindergarten for my teaching career. During that time I set up a children's library with many many donated books. The books were color coded on the spines by topics. That made it easy for young children to navigate the Library by themselves. When I became Director before retirement I always found time to do story time with small,groups in the a Library, then help them choose a book to enjoy in their classrooms. Upon retirement , the new Director had the Library dedicated to me with a brass plaque on the door. I was very honored.
I was born a logophile and raised a bibliophile. In other words, I love words. I love libraries. I love bookstores. I even dream about bookstores.
I love words, whether mellifluous, rough, or plain, blunt or flowing, assertive or discreet. I love them when the sound matches the meaning and perhaps more when it doesn't. (How can pulchritude mean beauty?) I loved the collective rhymes, rhythms, and meter of words, and their synonmyms, antonyms, homonyms. I love words' roles: nouns, verbs, adverbs, etc. Words are delicious -a smorgasbord bounty for communication.
My library story -a new insight about words: I worked at Hartford Public Library in Connecticut while I was a college student. Talk about bounty! The world's best words surrounded me. Heaven! Haven! It was there that I found a tiny book that stole my heart. Letters to a Young Poet. by Rainer Maria Rilke. I devoured it, practically memorized it. Two years later, I decided I needed my own copy. I bought one and...was...very disappointed. Had I changed so much that those words I had loved didn't "work" for me anymore? How could it now seem flat, ungainly, unbeautiful?
Can you imagine what I learned when I looked at my old beloved copy at the library again? Translations matter. I was, in the parlance of 1969, blown away by the discovery that I had first read a beautiful translation and had subsequently purchased disenchantment. This idea. What an idea! Translations cannot be word-for-word translations, exactly because we have so many synonmys, precisely because of culture and idiom, and the nuances within and between languages, and more. And it is even more complex when translating poetry and other creative writings. The translator must be an artist, too, in order to bring the author to the reader. And so a new idea and an abiding fascination was added to me, the young logophile.
One last word. I am 66 years old and I just found the word logophile today. That's because of your blog, Kristin. Thank you. A new word is a gift. Delicious.
I found To Kill A Mockingbird early in my high school years. When it was assigned reading-I had already read it twice. It was and is my favorite book. I feel it shaped me in my worldview and my loves- 6 kids and husband of 32 years. My husband is a man of great integrity and my kids gave grown into adults that live out the ideals portrayed in the book.
My first grandson is named Atticus. :) And my grown children are living lives of grace and acceptance of people around them.
I have fond memories of visiting the library with my pre-school daughter who had quite an appetite for books and still does. She would stride into the children's section, with arms swinging and a big smile and announce, "I'm here!!!!" in a sing-song voice. The librarians always greeted her warmly and brought her to the desk where they had set aside some books that she thought she would like. Her favorite was "The Stupids Step Out". She bought the book for her own children.
What a very cool book!
The first "big" trip we were allowed to take alone on our bikes was to the local library (all of a mile away) and I'd check out the limit and pedal back home to read them all as fast I could. Worked my way out of the children's section by the time I was nine, I think.
One of my fondest memories of the library is listening to Dylan Thomas' "A Childs Christmas in Wales". Our library had a great listening library,turntables, headphones, little cubbies, you could get totally lost in your own world.
I love libraries and bookstores; however, my favorite reading memory will always be of my 10th grade English class and "The Bishop's Candlesticks." I told my mother about this great short story from my class. When I mentioned Jean Valjean, she knew I spoke of Les Miserables. The next day she purchased Hugo's novel for me. She handed it to me and said here is your bishop's candlesticks; I think I did a double take and probably gulped a couple of times, but I did read the entire novel and loved it. It will always be my fondest book/reading memory and a special remembrance of my very special Mother.
Books and libraries are among my earliest and fondest memories. If it isn't moving I read it. I worked in the campus library in college and walking into a library or book store today makes my heart beat faster. I am very proud of the fact that both of my children are avid readers and hope to help future grandbabies love libraries and books as well.
I grew up in a book loving family. My mother would go to the library every week and fill her wagon with books.My first job was as a library page, and my mother became a librarian when her children were raised. Now I mostly listen to audio books while I work (I do sewing). As a teenager, I read things like Dickens, which I enjoy much more now.
I absolutely love my libraries. I can go and read a book or better yet get a book on audio and knit the day away!
It is hard to pick a favorite library story as I am a librarian and work in a library almost every day. So I'll just pick a recent story. I work in a college library and at the end of every semester, we have a finals study break for the students. This year, we added a stress relief table for the whole week of finals. The table was stocked with play dough, coloring pages, markers, origami supplies, and more. Every morning I looked forward to seeing what they had created the night before. I'd love to add some true library-themed crafts to the table this year - this book might be just the thing!
I have always loved to read! When I first learned to read I would go to our local library, which was within walking distance. every chance I got. I would go and find a book and just sit down on the floor and start reading. When it was time to leave I was always so sad but would take books home and read there too.
Because of physical issues I couldn't play like other kids and so books, and the library, became my best friends.
When I was little we lived in Anaheim California. It was the 1960s Anaheim when it smelled of orange groves and honeysuckle blossoms. Our mother had not yet learned to drive so the borders of our world were defined by Wilken Way and South Haster Street. One day, a Book Mobile parked on our block. My mother helped all five of us inside where we each of filled out a library card. I coarsely and quickly scrawled my name in pencil across the line the card provided, then checked out my first book: Black Beauty. We waited each month for the bookmobile to return eager to explore its wooden racks for new books of every kind.
My favorite memory was sitting Indian style pulling books off the shelf surrounded by library smell.
As a little girl we went to the library every Wednesday. We could only borrow 3 books at a time otherwise my Mom lost track and Tuesdays were a hunt for the books. As an adult, library's are my go to for audio books, how to books, and pleasure reading. The librarians are my go to people- often I only have a fragment of a title or subject and they are able to connect the dots. Librarians are a towns hidden treasures!
Thank you for the great book review.
A favorite library story is when I was six years old & went with my Mother to the South Londonderry Library with her, in Vermont.
A special treat that it was just me, without my brother or sister. The library is still the same to this day, a small house, with a porch and screen door that creaks like Summertime and crickets when you open it! I was a VERY shy child. Once inside the library, my Mother went to get a book from another room, and I just stood in the hallway, not knowing which way to go. It felt like I was there a long time, but then the Magical Library Lady came to me, (Miss Eleanor Janeway) smiled, took my hand, and said "I think I know where you belong.") Of course, she knew my Mother, it was a small town. The next thing I know, I am in the Children's Room, at a low table painted white, and on the table is a handmade little bookshelf, with a whole set of little green hardbound books,...... all the 23 books by Beatrix Potter !!
Oh, joy !! That was magical indeed. I wanted to take out ALL of them, that day. But Miss Eleanor explained that was the only set and other children would like to take them home to read too. So, I had to decide, which animals would I read about first ? That was very difficult. Usually, I was a very compliant child, but Beatrix Potter books?, I wanted them all! Finally, Miss E made an exception and let me take home three books at a time, instead of two, Mrs. Tiggy Winkle, Tale of Two Bad Mice and Squirrel Nutkin.
That visit began a lifelong admiration for Beatrix Potter. It was a special day, because at age six, I was issued my very own library card. Years later, I met Jane Morse, at the Castine Library in Maine, when Jane hosted an event of The Beatrix Potter Society. I made two loaves of bread in the shape of Peter Rabbit, with raisins for eyes. It was the first time I ever made homemade bread, at age 28. I was delighted that Jane wrote me later that it made excellent toast the next morning at her B&B. I have had many Nanny positions over the years, and I always read Beatrix books to the children. The South Londonderry Library began in 1902. I hope they are still stamping the books with the blue ink stamper.
I looked at photos of the library recently, and I do believe the same low white table and chairs are in the Children's Room!
I had such an amazing experience in libraries that I became a librarian! I adored being surrounded by information and the librarians were always the perfect combination of helpful but never intrusive. I'm old enough that I remember when I graduated from the children's section to getting the coveted "adult" library card - WOW! So many more stacks to peruse.
I live within walking distance of my public library and it is one of my favorite things about living here. I have to admit, though, that I am in love with their electronic catalog. No matter what time of the day of night, I can download a book or audiobook on my Kindle or tablet no matter where I am. It is truly magic---20 years ago, who would have imagined this technology would be out there?
Oh no---I forgot to provide my contact info---my RavID is brenda0312.

Pineapple, Pistachios, and 6 Other Foods that Can Help Fight Inflammation (and 7 that Make It Worse)
Inflammation is linked to health concerns from acne to arthritis
March 25, 2022 Jill Schildhouse
Photo: Westend61 / Getty Images
Six in 10 U.S. adults have at least one chronic disease, according to the CDC, and many of the most common conditions have been linked in some way to inflammation. And while that makes it seem like inflammation is a pretty massive concern, relief could be as close as your kitchen. Research suggests that upping your intake of certain anti-inflammation foods may help reduce a variety of symptoms.
"Inflammation is the root cause of most diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and dementia," asserts Dr. Steven Gundry, M.D., best-selling author of The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in 'Healthy' Foods that Cause Disease and Weight Gain. "If you have any of these preexisting diseases — or high blood pressure, fatigue, tiredness, acne, rashes, or joint pain — then you have inflammation."
So what exactly is inflammation? "Inflammation, by definition, is your body's response to a foreign substance to protect you from harm," says Dr. Mahmud Kara, M.D., an internal medicine specialist who treated patients at The Cleveland Clinic for over 30 years. "Some symptoms of inflammation include aches and pains, skin issues, memory impairment, low-grade fever, and digestive discomfort. Along with this, objective signs of inflammation include elevated labs like CRP levels, cholesterol, homocysteine, and some more specific cardiac markers, like oxidized LDL."
Eating more of certain anti-inflammation foods like turmeric and pineapple could reduce those signs but, the scientists say, what you don't eat is just as important as what you do. "The most important foods to avoid are grains, beans and nightshades — unless they are pressure-cooked or, in the case of nightshades, like tomatoes and peppers, peeled and deseeded," says Dr. Gundry. "The lectins in these foods are a major cause of leaky gut."
Dr. Kara adds a few more culprits to this list, namely Western-diet staples. "High-fructose corn syrup, trans-fat, excessive saturated fats, and junk food in general can cause inflammation and lead to the uncomfortable symptoms associated with it," he says. "The best way to decrease inflammation is to prevent it in the first place."
Try Adding More of these Anti-Inflammation Foods to Your Diet
Turmeric This ancient spice contains a powerful anti-inflammatory compound called curcumin. "Turmeric is most studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer properties," says Dr. Kara. "It's easy to add into your daily routine, by adding to your smoothie, salad dressing, hummus, or roasted veggies."
Extra virgin olive oil "Incorporating extra virgin olive oil into your diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and other serious health conditions," says Dr. Kara. Various studies evaluating EVOO's anti-inflammatory role have shown that regular consumption is associated with a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. And it couldn't be simpler to sneak into your diet: ditch your other oils and use EVOO when cooking vegetables, omelets, or use some as salad dressing.
Pistachios Surprise: Pistachios have the highest amount of melatonin of any food — and melatonin affects more than just your sleep. "Melatonin is the critical antioxidant in mitochondria themselves," says Dr. Gundry. "Damaged mitochondria are a major stimulus of inflammation and activation of our immune system." A handful a day just might keep the inflammation away.
Pineapple This tropical fruit is high in bromelain, which has anti-inflammatory properties, as well as anti-cancer and antimicrobial effects, says nurse practitioner Erin Mewshaw, NP, of New York Center for Innovative Medicine. Since heat destroys bromelain, pineapple is best eaten raw a few times a week.
Alliums This family of vegetables — including garlic, scallions, onions and leeks — contains functional components that reduce inflammation and prevent chronic disease. "They also contain a variety of organic sulfur compounds that provide health benefits as well as a range of flavonoids," says Abbie Gellman, registered dietitian and chef at the Institute of Culinary Education. Strive for three to five servings a week, and while they can be eaten raw, alliums tend to be more palatable when cooked.
Ginger Ginger can do it all: decrease inflammation, reduce pain, fight free radicals, prevent cancer, and lower blood glucose, says Mewshaw. Enjoy ginger raw, cooked or boiled into a tea a couple times a week.
Green Tea "Fighting inflammation is one of the most notable health benefits of green tea," says Gellman. "Green tea contains many polyphenolic compounds, which can interfere with inflammatory pathways to lower inflammation." One cup each morning is a great way to start your day — plus, you'll get a nice caffeine boost without the jitters coffee can cause.
Crucifers Cruciferous vegetables (think: broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower) include compounds called "glucosinolates," which Gellman says have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. "They also improve the body's ability to detoxify," she says. Make sure to get your daily dose in a stir-fry, bowl or salad.

This place caught my eyes every time I had a chance going for a drive around the area. Finally I photographed it. Lovely looking place. I wonder how it looks like inside. Near Half Moon Bay, California. March 2008.
Downtown San Francisco -- March 2008 It was a leisure walk/photoshoot right after yummy italian dinner. Then I just had to stop dead at this wonderful San Francisco skyskape, gorgeous architecture, and .... this lovely reflection from strip clubs' neon sign on this jet black bimmer. I composed fast like the moment would be gone forever for something that would just sit there the whole night waiting for me to take this picture. I particularly like the main beam from the incoming cars giving it white highlight on the far right of this picture. Colorful night in San Francisco.


What do environments that are built for the needs of autistic people look like? First of all, it's important to remember that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to designing spaces for people on the autism spectrum, meaning that what can be helpful for one person could be harmful for another. Keeping this in mind, there are many aspects of home design that can have a significant impact on the daily life of adults on the autism spectrum. Even when it is not possible, due to financial and time constraints, to build an entirely new space, it is still possible to alter an existing space to fit these needs. The key to creating an autism-friendly space is to ask what the resident (or residents) want and need, then figure out how to accommodate for those needs and wants through design.
In Advancing Full Spectrum Housing Sherry Ahrentzan and Kim Steele outline several key design practices in building living spaces for autistic people. One of the key ideas highlighted by Ahrentzan and Steele is the creation of a clear separation between areas of the home, dividing them by their function and purpose. In our interview with Cathy Purple Cherry, the layout of a space as well as the availability of space for each resident were highlighted as important factors.
Cherry: Being incredibly sensitive to how natural light transforms the living environment is probably the greatest design element you can incorporate. Connecting the living environment to nature positively impacts the lives of individuals on the spectrum and, in general, the global population in big ways. These are planning strategies, not spending concepts. Proper planning and design is the most cost effective thing a parent can do for their kids.

I would love to have some help with my 26 year old daughters. She just had a baby and is living home with me . I find it hard to help her because she takes such ownership as she should, but understanding that diapers formula and clothing come first for him than the little items she gets for herself. Tshirts and rings etc.


After watching the Kelly Corrigan video about capturing life's everyday moments, I realized that digital photography has changed the way I document our lives. I can scan through thousands of digital images of a freckly 12 year old, crazy dogs, and weekend adventures in Florida.
But there is a glaring hole in the family story that makes me teary-eyed. Like most of you, I missed capturing all these same activities with my older child. We have an occasional photo from an old film camera or school photos but that is the extent of it. No heartwarming shots of silly toothless grins, skateboarding with friends, or camping at the ranch.
I am now making it a point to seek out moments with my him before he heads off to college in January. Quietly, I snap away as he strums his guitar, plays the piano, or falls asleep on the sofa. I can not fill in all the lost years but as I hold these photos in my hands, I can see the little boy that he once was and the man he is becoming.
Take a few moments today to capture your loved ones as they go about their day. Don't let even the simplest of moments pass you by. You won't regret it.
We are giving away one $100 Paper Coterie gift card EVERY SINGLE DAY of September to one of YOU! All you have to do is share a comment each day before midnight EST for your chance to win that day's random drawing. Be sure to leave links to your story shots.
This is such a great reminder! Recently I've come to understand that I want to take photos to remember the details of my story, rather than to capture images for somebody else. It's easy to forget that much more of the story takes place in day-to-day life and not just on special occasions.
This is so awesome. I feel the same about my oldest. There are about 16 photo books though that say I supported film hardily.I miss going through the digital and seeing more of him. I asked him out to dinner tonight. Ill have to remember to take the camera and capture an everyday moment with him.Thanks for the reminder!!
What a beautiful capture. I don't usually take photos of people but it was a good reminder to capture images of loved ones.
sometimes i wonder, how did the time pass so quickly?
every time i hear someone say, "I can't believe it is already [insert name of month that has come way too fast," I think whether I missed out on capturing a part of the month that just flew by. i definitely need to be more conscious of this throughout the month!
This hits so close to home. I have a senior and junior in high school. For one thing, they run when they see me with my camera. I have a computer full of random images of them when they are in their middle years and boxes of prints of them as toddlers.
I took them out this past Sunday to get some senior photos of my son. This one is of the two of them. It was my daughter's idea to do this shot. The light was harsh and my focus was off, but this is a new favorite of mine.
that is exactly the reason why i treated myself to a digital point&shoot a few years back, quickly followed by a dlsr. i had tons of film pictures of my kids when they were little, but almost none after the age of 10. now i capture them whenever and wherever i can. sometimes they even pose for me!
I have so much the same feeling. Of my 18 yr. old, I just don't have a huge amount of photos. With each child I've had, I believe the amount of photos has gone up, to now where with my 2 yr old, I have taken thousands and thousands of photos of him in his relatively short life. My first daughter has a huge gap in photos, as we had just gotten our first digital camera, and all the photos are saved on Zip drives, and I haven't had much success trying to find a way to transfer them reasonably.
What a wonderful picture! It's a keeper for sure. My husband hates pictures so I secretly take pictures of him to preserve memories for years to come. Great post with some great points!
I have two boys and reading your post put a little lump in my throat. It goes by too fast.
This is why I can not bring myself to erase any photos i take on my phone. Sometimes i sit here and just flip thru every single one, and I can vividly remember when it was taken and why it means so much to me.
I love the photo. A typical teen moment. Thank you for the reminder to capture. I will do so today.
I really enjoyed this post – makes me so determined to capture as much as I can.
I have two little girls and luckily got a digital camera their first year. I love looking back at all of those every day moments…always wishing, despite the thousands of images, that I had captured more.
this touches me. it's true the photos get fewer and farther between as our children grow older. that's why i was pretty conscious of getting photos of my daughter during our last summer vacation. trying to catch her unawares – it's those moments that tell the story of them better than the posed photos. She'll be graduating from college soon and i'm afraid our time together will be less and less.
I've been lucky to have a digital camera since before having my children. I've always taken the camera out a few times a week to capture our daily life. A feeling a joy comes over me as I look back over their early years.
I'm lucky in that the technology coincided neatly with the inspiration and the babies in my community, and I completely agree that part of my motivation is to make the little moments live on.
I feel this way about almost everyone in my family for different reasons. Some because of age, some because they change so quickly. We don't have a lot of photos of my husband as a kid, so I've spent a lot of our time photographing us doing different things. The dogs? Forget it… they aren't immune. I photograph almost their every movement. Laying on the porch? Photograph. Standing in the yard? Photograph. I just feel like the day-to-day are all of the special moments I don't want to miss and need to preserve as our family history.
I really regret that we don't have many pictures of my grandmother towards the end of her life. We often think about capturing kids growing but not so much about our elders who are heading towards the end of their journey with us.
Love that you have made capturing your son in this moment of his life a priority , Tammy.
Since I have gotten my DSLR I have loved getting candid snaps of those that I love, and so easy to enjoy on my computer! What a wonderful way to be able to recreate your memories. so easy to carry your camera around with you and you are ready whenever to moment strikes!
This post is such a great reminder to catch those everyday moments (even if my husband is annoyed that I have my camera with me AGAIN). This shot is of my youngest about a month ago… he LOVES motorcycles (well any vehicle for that matter). He's actually making motorcycle sounds while he drives this bike on our table. I guess the Harley my husband bought 4 years ago was a blessing in disguise, as my little guy loves to just look at it whenever he gets the chance… nevermind watching (and hearing) Dad go for a ride!
I can totally relate to this post. I just sent my second son off to college last month. My third and youngest was born in 1998 and we got our first digital camera in 2001 or 2002. But I really didn't know what I was doing with it until two or three years ago. I do have photos of all my kids when they were little, but oh I wish I had then the camera (and technology) I have now.
Wonderful, beautiful post; like so many, I have tons of baby/toddler prints but the last 10 yrs are just holidays and special events. Those everyday moments only captured in my memory. My camera is out, thank you!
Your so right about the photos. In fact next time me daughter returns from college I will take alot of pics, whether she likes it or not LOL. Thanks for sharing such a generous giveaway.
I'm so behind on my written journal, but I do have a lot of pictures. Acorn salad anyone?
Ugh. I'm really feeling the emotion about this topic in the last week or so. My oldest (now a Middle Schooler) turned 12 last week…. a few weeks after my youngest started full-day Kindgergarten. I watched a video linked the other day from a favorite blog called "Gift of an Ordinary Day" and it made me realize how fast time is going and how important it is to take pictures of every day moments.
My 12 year old doesn't like to pose for me anymore. I pretty much have to sneak pictures of him. The good part is that he plays lots of baseball so I can photograph him as much as I want from a far. I try to capture him in action, but also like to capture emotional shots of excitement, celebration, etc. One particular game this past summer we had just returned from a three hour drive after laying my husband's grandmother to rest in Vermont. The kids were having a close game. My son was up to bat with 2 outs and 2 strikes against him. He came up with a clutch hit that put the team ahead. While the other team warmed up another pithcer my son walked over to his teammate and friend. I captured this shot…..
He told me later that he had prayed to his Great Grandmother for her help at bat. I'm glad I always have my camera out at my kids' games!
my oldest daughter does not like me to take her photo…so this is a rare photo of her when we went to the old abandoned LA zoo so she could get shots for her high school photography class!
I am on my 3rd online digi photog course this year. It's revolutionize the way I document the large and small moments of my life and transformed my artistic life. I too mourned the fact that if I had only known then what I know now, but then realized that the tools we use now-digi cams, Picnik, photoshop and all that good stuff was not available in the past. The good news is that I now have the equipment and skills to use to my best advantage and I am determined to do so. It's added another layer to the story telling of my life.
I, too, had a half film, half digital child. He will head to college next year. I am steeling myself for the hole that will appear in my days, but I'm glad I have so many film and digital moments to remind me that we have had an (extra)ordinary life together.
So so true. I take all I can get – especially of the older ones. That and I have a huge scanning project ahead of me because I was good at documenting back in the film days – I just don't have the digital files to prove it.
I did not become interested in photography until my kids were a bit older, but they are still young enough. One thing I wish I'd captured more was their voice though . . . we have some video here and there with audit tracks, but probably not enough.
Uggs outlet store http://www.uggstoreau.com provides you with inexpensive and nice ugg boots.A variety of ugg boots will catch your eyes,such as ugg gloves,uggaustralia, uggs clearance.etc. Anyone who wants to be a trendsetter needs their own ugg boots.
I agree with Bonnie above about getting their voices – I have TONS of pics but hardly any video – mostly of my oldest until she was about 2 then I really dropped off!!
it doesn't matter how old they get, they still look adorable when they sleep.
I've been feeling the same need to freeze time with my oldest son, as well.
I have thought about this many times and thought how thankful I am to have a digital camera to capture my first son from birth on. It is the snapshots that we love!!!
I started to cry reading your latest post. I think most of us who have older children feel that way. I have great silly, funny, beautiful shots of my youngest but my older two are gone and when home in and out so fast I barley have time to say hi!!!
I try even if they are scruffy looking to take as many photos of them as I can now, they still give me a hard time, but I know they will as much as I appreciate it in the future!!!
After having had both of my children grow up and move on with their lives, I can tell you that the pictures I have of them from over the years are more precious than ever. It's never to late to capture their smiles or unique ways or even years later, them falling into a deep contented sleep when they come home for a visit and curl up on the couch.
Thank you for inspiring us all to remain passionate about our lives and our pictures. What a gift to have a place to share with one another.
I feel delighted to read such a good post, I would like to thank the Author for this marvelous efforts.this post is good in regards of both knowledge as well as information.Thanks for the post.

As a new real estate agent one important decision to make is whether to join a team or fly solo. There is no right or wrong answer, nor is one path easier than the other. It is up to the individual to decide what best suites their situation and personality.
If you find value in having a strong support system and mentors to help you get your footing in the real estate world, then a team is best for you.
If you thrive best being independent, then you may want to fly solo. Can't decide? Below are some pros and cons of joining a team.
When you are new in the industry, it can be a challenge to get some traction generating leads. Luckily, teams usually have a lead generation system already in place.
Marketing is done for you.
You don't have to focus your time on all the different aspects that go into Realtor marketing. Your team will most likely already have a support team or system to get these tasks done for you.
When you join a team, you can gain knowledge and get accustomed to the business quicker because your team is there to help you learn the tricks of the trade.
You have peace of mind knowing that if you have questions, are out sick, or out of town, your team has your back.
You have a team that all have different experiences and backgrounds with real estate. When an issue arises, you can count on your team to help you solve these challenges.
The commission is usually lower because you have to share earnings with your team members and support staff.
A lot of people go into real estate because of the flexible schedule and independence. When you choose to become a part of a team you lose some of that independence.
You will be associated with your team and will have to market yourself under their team name and logo.

The BRMP is the first level of certification for Business Relationship Managers. This certification is designed to provide those in a business relationship management role, or those looking to move into a BRM role, with the foundational knowledge they need to be successful in the role. The foundational knowledge is captured in the BRMBOK™ (BRM Body of Knowledge). The BRMP training and certification program is a comprehensive foundation designed to provide a solid baseline level of knowledge regarding the BRM role.
Watermark Learning's BRMP course provides the key principles, techniques, tools and processes central to the BRM role and discipline. Unlike other certifications, you need no prior knowledge. To assimilate the vast amount of information needed to pass the BRMP exam, there is a mixture of lecture, discussion, exercises, and a practice exam during the course. Attendees will take the certification exam at the end of the course. Upon class enrollment, attendees will be eligible for a 50% discount off the price of BRMI Professional Membership.
Want to further your BRM skills? Take our Business Relationship Management Fundamentals course.
Business Relationship Management embodies a set of competencies, skills, and behaviors that foster productive, value-producing relationships. Its focus is to stimulate, surface, and shape business demand for a provider's products and services. It ensures that the potential business value from those products and services is captured, optimized, and recognized. The BRM acts as a liaison between the business (customer) and the service provider (internal departments providing the business a service, such as IT, HR, or accounting). The BRM facilitates and improves the communication between both parties and helps to ensure value realization of the service provider's products, services, or capabilities.
Watch our business relationship management webinar, "What's Next: From BA to BRM"
For example, an IT BRM may help IT demonstrate their value and relevance to the business and help the business prioritize projects, ensure projects align with the technology that maximizes return on investment, and ensure that the IT strategy supports the business strategy. To meet these needs, BRMs must have substantial knowledge both about the business and the technology to provide maximum benefit.

An Order Management System (OMS) is a big purchase. Beyond the software itself, you'll invest time and money in implementation, data migration, and training. It's essential to ensure that no surprise gotchas will pop up the day after the contract is signed.
How do you know which OMS is right for you? There are so many solutions on the market, and the wrong decision can be costly and hard to disentangle.It's useful to know that every solution on the market takes one of three fundamentally different approaches.
OMS is a big purchase, and you don't want to be left with buyer's remorse. First and foremost, you need to know that the pricing you're looking at will be worth it in the long run. Second, you need to make a clear business case for the money and manpower you'll be investing in implementation.
An Enterprise Order Management System (OMS) is designed to improve internal operations, inventory management and stocking, and customer service. Picking the right one for your business is a big, complex decision, but it all starts from understanding which fundamental approach is right for you.
In order to meet customers' rising expectations, you need tremendous efficiency. Order Management Solutions (OMS) have stepped in to fill that gap. But with so many solutions on the market, how do you choose the right one? Without deep software expertise, the decision can seem overwhelming.


What you need to know about becoming a Pharmacy Technician in Indiana. Including Indiana licensing and training requirements, schools & colleges offering pharmacy technician programs and employment and salary trends for pharmacy techs in Indiana (IN).
In preparing our inaugural list of the top pharmacy schools in the Midwest, we considered dozens of schools in the US that offered pharmacy programs. Our goal with this list is to give students access to information so they can make informed decisions about the schools they choose to attend and the programs they pursue. Our motivation for publishing these rankings is simple. We frequently receive emails from young people -many of whom are already working as pharmacy technicians- asking for advice as to which pharmacy schools they should consider. Our hope is that this list is a starting point for aspiring pharmacists to discover the schools that are the best fit for them.

Історія
Огаста була заснована 1736 року за наказам генерала Джеймса Оглторпа та була другим заснованим містом у британській колонії Джорджія після Саванни. До приходу британців тут існувало індіанське поселення біля переправи через річку Саванна біля водоспадів. Місто лежало посеред землі кріків і чероків. Місто було назване Оглторпом ім'ям принцеси Авґусти Саксен-Готської, дружини принца Уельсу Фредерика та матері короля Георга III.

У 1785–1795 роках Огаста була столицею штату Джорджія (після Саванни і до Атланти). З 1785 року тут почала виходити щоденна газета «Augusta Gazette» (тепер — «The Augusta Chronicle»).

Під час Американської революції, коли в цих краях проходила лінія фронту, Огаста кілька разів ставала столицею штату. У Громадянську війну жителі півдня виробляли тут основну частину своїх боєприпасів; 54-метрова труба порохової фабрики служить нагадуванням про це.

Історично, економіка Огасти базувалася на переробці бавовни і легкої промисловості. У 1840-і роки для постачання текстильних фабрик водою вздовж річки був проритий канал, який досі використовується за призначенням. У місті збереглися розкішні особняки плантаторів і торговців бавовни, найстаріший з яких датується 1760 роком.

Національний гольф-клуб Огасти, один з найпрестижніших у світі, щорічно проводить у місті турнір «Мастерз».

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. Not too much I promise.
When I was a kid, there was nothing that thrilled me more than a mystery and trying to solve it. I couldn't get enough of the game Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? When I wasn't playing that game, I was trying to write a book. I was 10 years old. I used floppy disks to save my work on a computer we had at home. I loved it. I was immersed in reading books from early Kindergarten on. I was reading adult-level chapter books by second grade. I was in love with the written word.
As an adult, I entered Ithaca College in print journalism. I wrote for The Ithacan and won an Associated Press Award for a news series I wrote. I was a contributing writer for a local newspaper, The Syracuse Post-Standard for a summer. I had been writing primarily about health topics and had a passion for health. I ended up finishing Ithaca College with a BS in Health Education. I began teaching health education and completed an MSEd in Health Education from SUNY Cortland.
After having my son, I decided to stay home part time and work with our family business. During this time, I felt the urge to begin re-exploring my writing. I could use my health education experience to share with others again. I began a blog – balancedisease.com. It got me writing about my experience with a diagnosis of SLE (lupus), and allowed me to share my experience in finding a diagnosis of PFAPA for my infant son.
As he aged, and time went on, I learned my ability to help people get a diagnosis for unknown medical conditions from their doctor was a gift. I was able to share the information and tools I used with others and truly help them get some answers.
I wrote my books about obtaining a diagnosis for your child, and PFAPA (our story) & Other Periodic Fever Conditions to help families who feel alone and without help. When you have a sick child, or you are sick yourself, and you can't get physicians to help and you are suffering, you feel lost. It's hard to connect with those around you because nobody understands. You just want the pain and suffering to stop and someone to give you answers. There is a way to get answers. I got an answer for myself and my son. I want to help people find answers.
How To Get a Diagnosis is a 72-page book that provides a step-by-step process of how I got a diagnosis for my son's periodic fever condition. It contains tools and resources so you can do the same thing!

Cielo Careers
You've Been Shredded on Glassdoor – Now What?
Free career and job-review communities like Glassdoor continue to gain traction, as they offer job seekers the opportunity to gain an inside look at company culture, career growth potential and management quality. In fact, according to Software Advice, nearly half of alljob seekers visit Glassdoor to view and often provide company reviews.
For employers, in a perfect world, all reviews would be glowing, five-star and encouraging—or, at the very least, tongue-in-cheek and irreverent. But we don't live in a perfect world, and occasionally current or former employees use the microphone provided by Glassdoor to publicly lambast an organization. Your organization.
Now what? How do you respond? Should you respond? In a world driven by social media, one disgruntled employee can damage your ability to recruit and retain quality talent. The following four steps can help weather the storm:
1. Consider the severity of the review. If the review is inaccurate, profanity-laced, attacks a specific person, or fails to meet any of the guidelines set forth by Glassdoor, you can suggest the review be taken down. There are times when people resort to insults and derogatory language, and employers have every right to make certain false claims are reviewed. To flag reviews, visit the Contact Us page or send an email to employersupport@glassdoor.comstating your case.
2. Leverage the "Add an Employer Response" opportunity. Just like job seekers and current employees, companies can sign up (for a free Glassdoor account) and respond to remarks. The key here, however, is to ensure you come off as the rational, sane party. We all recognize there are disillusioned, volatile and perhaps even crazy people on the internet, and experiences at a company don't always go well regardless of how much effort you put into employer branding. If you choose to respond, it's vital to do so in a professional and thoughtful manner; as social media has made clear, one slip can royally backfire.
3. Bury the bad review with positives responses. If you're organization represents a strong mission, value and culture, there is no reason you should feel uncomfortable encouraging employees to provide honest, online assessments of your company. Not only can doing so bury poor reviews in a sea of favorable responses, but encouraging staff to publicly voice their thoughts can identify new insights from your current workforce. Although responses are kept anonymous, you may uncover trends and areas in need of improvement, as well as strong areas to continue building upon.
4. Buy an advertising package with Glassdoor. In most situations, Glassdoor will not make your poor review disappear; it will, however, provide the real estate needed to give onlookers positive information that may offset negative comments. By advertising, you have the opportunity to maximize what you can control: Showcase awards, highlight career growth potential, promote positive reviews and share other attractive elements of your organization. Advertising is not for everyone, but it's an opportunity that may be worth considering.
For companies that are "walking the talk" with their employer branding strategies, user review websites such as Glassdoor should be viewed as an asset. It begins with building a business on the foundation of, "This is a place I want to work." But it's also imperative to protect your brand by ensuring there is a representative sample of employee reviews, and that false claims are reviewed. Recruiters, leadership and all representatives of an organizations work too hard to let their brands get tarnished by a single poor review. Staying up-to-date and responding appropriately can do more than safe face—it can lay the groundwork for a stronger employer brand.

Q: How do I turn off change tracking at the DbContext level in EF 4.1 RC? I've encountered what seems to be a common problem: I am updating values in my database, but EF is using its original in-memory copy of the object and these changed values are not reflected in the displayed data. I understand why this is, but I can't figure out a way around it.
The most common solution seems to be to set MergeOptions.NoTracking to turn off change tracking completely (or use the AsNoTracking() extension method when querying) and force a refresh every time the object is accessed, which is fine for my purposes.
I've got a generic base repository which my other repositories inherit from:
public abstract class RepositoryBase<T> where T : class
{
    private readonly IDbSet<T> _dbset;
    private readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;

    protected RepositoryBase(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork)
    {
        _unitOfWork = unitOfWork;
        _dbset = _unitOfWork.Database.Set<T>();
    }

    public virtual IQueryable<T> All()
    {
        return _dbset;
    }

    // Some other IQueryable methods here (Query, GetByProductCode etc)

    public virtual T Get(long id)
    {
        return _dbset.Find(id);
    }
}

And a DbContext like this:
public class Db : DbContext
{
    private IDbSet<Product> _products;

    public IDbSet<Product> Products
    {
        get { return _products ?? (_products = DbSet<Product>()); }
    }

    public virtual IDbSet<T> DbSet<T>() where T : class
    {
        return Set<T>();
    }

    public virtual void Commit()
    {
        base.SaveChanges();
    }
}

If I change the All() method of my repository thus:
public virtual IQueryable<T> All()
{
    return _dbset.AsNoTracking();
}

I get the desired result - an update in the database is reflected when the page displaying the products is refreshed. However, I can't do this in the Get() method, as that extension method only works on an IQueryable.
Ideally I'd like to turn this off at the DbContext level as I will never need change tracking, but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do this, and there is pretty much zero documentation on the subject (unless someone can point me to some? Please!).
I tried adding a constructor to the DbContext with these configuration options disabled:
public Db()
{
    base.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
    base.Configuration.AutoDetectChangesEnabled = false;
}

But I must admit I'm only guessing as to what they really do (I only found them through looking at the source code), and they don't seem to have any effect anyway.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If more info/code would help, please let me know.

A: If you want to force context to get fresh data each time you don't want to use Find method. Find method always query internal storage first. Use this instead:
public virtual T Get(long id)
{
    return All().SingleOrDefault(e => e.Id == id);
}

But I don't understand what do you need this? What do you mean by:

an update in the database is reflected
  when the page displaying the products
  is refreshed

Context is unit of work. It should be used as unit of work - in web application or web service it means creating new context instance per request. In winforms / wpf application it means using context per logical block (per presenter etc). Because of that you should need this only in very specific scenarios but you want it globally. Your description seems like you are reusing context among requests which is completely bad solution. There are no performance costs in recreating context for each request.
