How would you like to get this for a birthday card?
You can mix and match the box cards and their insides.. so much fun!
And the adorable patterned paper?? That is My Mind's Eye- "Now & Then" collection. It is a fabulous line!
I wanted my flowers to match, not only in color, but also in style, so I added a bunch of Imaginisce Hot Rocks to the centers.
And the super duper cool thing? It folds up to fit in an envelop. Yeah. I thought that was pretty much brilliant!
Stamps: Inspired By Stamping "Butterfly Wings"

Other supplies: Mister Huey mist, Sharpie pen.
One of the newest company's in the Scrapbooking industry (AND a NEW vendor at SBUSA) is Freckled Fawn!!
I am LOVING their products! Last September they launched their OHDEERME Embellishment Kit Club. Sign up for their club and each month you will receive an assortment of coordinated embellishments, perfect for adding to the paper you already have (that you found at the show, of course). Their embellishments are so versatile and super cute!!
In addition, Freckled Fawn carries many of our favorite essentials including wood chips, washi tape, paper clips, stickers, doilies, resin and cork shapes.
Freckled Fawn is fresh, fun and really inspiring! You can keep up with the latest at by following them on Facebook, their blog and Pinterest. The mission over at freckled Fawn is "to create products that delight the eye and gladden the heart". In my opinion, they are doing a great job! Visit their booth at the show and find out for yourself!!
One of our new vendors to Scrapbook USA 2014 and one of our show sponsors this year is Art Impressions from Oregon. I had the privilege to meet up up with them in Anaheim this past January at CHA and let me just say, they are going to be a LOT of fun!
Owner and designer Bonnie Krebs has been designing and selling stamps for well over 20 years. She creates fun and unique original images that are perfect for projects that will touch your heart as well as others.
Art Impressions blog is absolutely amazing. They have a design team that is over the top creative! I have had so much fun following them on Facebook as well as their blog.
Brand new to the Art Impressions store is their mini front and back sets. Aren't they ADORABLE??
I love this idea with the "peek-a-boo" cards! These are really "springy" but they would make darling cards for a baby birth.
Along with unique and cute stamps, the Art Impressions blog has some fabulous youtube tutorial videos. I have watched all of them and love the techniques and tutorials they show-off.
Early Bird's: your bag will have a great coupon good only at Art Impressions booth and VIP's: you will each be receiving a stamp, courtesy of Art Impressions.
Also, Art Impressions has a fun "pin matching" game that will be going on throughout the show. Quantities will be limited so make sure to stop by their booth and get your PIN first thing in the morning! I played at CHA at I promise you won't want to miss out!
Let's give Art Impressions a BIG welcome to Utah and to Scrapbook USA Expo! I am so excited to have them!
There are a number of new and inspiring products that will be available at Scrapbook USA Expo! One of the vendors you won't want to miss is Hazel & Ruby. I have been watching their company for over a year now and am LOVING their products!
Hazel & Ruby bring lot's of innovative products on the market including 2 inch wide washi tape (LOVE), masking stencils, ribbon, assorted embellishments, paperie, paper collections and a rainbow of other fun products. I know their booth is going to be a fast favorite!
If you are bringing a child with you to the show on Saturday, make sure they have a Kids Craft Corner ticket. They will be able to enjoy a variety of crafts suited just for them. One of these crafts will be decorating pillowcases using Hazel & Ruby's masking stencils. It is 1 of the many fun projects they will enjoy as they have the opportunity to use their own personalities to create fun projects.
Hazel & Ruby will also be teaching a class at the show. Available both Friday & Saturday you can enjoy class time with the fun and inspiring crew from Hazel & Ruby. Who doesn't love Subway Art?

Make sure to stop by Hazel & Ruby's booth to learn more about their products! Also you are going to want to check out their blog and facebook page. Lot's of Cute goodies!!
ScrapCodes!! Bringing your Projects to Life!
We are less than 2 weeks away!! and we are getting really excited!!
As I have been following each of the vendors we have coming to the show it has been amazing to learn more about them, their story and their product! We are SO lucky to have so many amazing and talented companies coming to the show :).
The 1st vendor you will see when entering Scrapbook USA this year is our FANTASTIC Title Sponsor - ScrapCodes. Their unique product is perfect for adding a personalized touch to layouts, cards, posters, games, books, etc!
ScrapCodes are SUPER easy to use. You do not have to be a techie to use this fun product. The ScrapCodes facebook page and blog have a number of unique ideas for using their product that are both handy, creative and useful. For example, this altered journal is a great gift for a 17 year old in her Senior Year of High School. There are QR codes sprinkled throughout the book so she just needs to use the code to add video, voice recording or photos to the journal. This is a creative way to get her to record the personal and fun details of high school.
ScrapCodes are very inexpensive and another thing I really love is that they can be photocopied. If you are making a handout or mass producing an invitation or Christmas card you only need 1 QR code from ScrapCodes and you can then duplicate it.
A scavenger hunt is another fun way to use ScrapCodes.Check out all the details on putting together your own Easter Scavenger Hunt from an earlier post we have done. This is a fun Easter activity for the kids.
In fact, ScrapCodes will be hosting a little Scavenger Hunt of their own at Scrapbook USA Expo this year! You will be given all details when you receive your wristband at the show entrance. It will be easy and fun as well educational! Plus lucky winners of this Scavenger Hunt will have an opportunity to enter the ScrapCodes MONEY BOOTH for fun and cash!!
Make sure you stop by the ScrapCodes booth at the show. They are hosting a Make-n-Take and will have great pricing on their QR codes along with lot's of ideas on bringing your projects to life!
It's so close now I can almost smell the new paper!
I am so excited for expo! I want to pack already. lol But since it's a bit early for that I played with some new paper instead.
I wanted the the feel of this layout to be sweet and soft, which is the feel I get from the photo. So I loved the light pinks and soft blue in the paper underneath and I went with stitching and soft embellies. I didn't want a lot of journaling, so I just put the important details on a heart and outlined it with a glittery pink gel pen.
I had this fun rhinestone butterfly in my stash and thought it would be a great addition. Then added the twine for a flight path. I always love to see a flight path for butterflies, just makes me smile. I double matted my photo, well maybe triple if you count the white edge it came with, in pink and then just a small edge of black to really drawn the eye.
In this last closeup you can see the stitching I did. I also outlined each heart with the glittery pink pen. The enamels, buttons and little lady sticker are all from MME also.
Make sure you swing by their booth at the Expo and get some of these yummy products for yourself!
I am pretty excited about many of our new Scrapbook USA vendors! Take a look at DREAMSAVER. They are a brand new company and are making their official product launch at Scrapbook USA!
What do you have protecting your irreplaceable treasures? How would you feel if you lost your picture albums and scrapbooks to fire or a flood? Did you know that there is a house fire every 82 seconds? One in every 310 homes will have a fire! 1.4M catastrophic insurance claims a year. Why take the chance!
A couple of years ago my husband and I set out to invest in a fire-proof safe. He had 1 or 2 items to store in it and I had my serious collection of heirloom photos, old journals and family history records.
In the end we purchased a "top of the line" safe that is perfect for storing a gun collection and will keep our items very safe in a fire as long as the fire burns for no more than a few minutes. After that, my treasures are still safe, just hot enough that they will most likely be a melted mess. We did settle a bit because there really didn't seem to be anything on the market with the scrapper or genealogist in mind.
The new DREAMSAVER storage protection system is made specifically for scrappers, genealogists and other collectors. They are offering pre-orders of a limited, first run, of only 50 boxes for sale at the show.
Co-founded by a 5 time astronaut, the Team behind DREAMSAVER brings over 40 years experience with Space Shuttle heat shield materials and engineering.
What I find amazing about their product is that it's been tested in simulated house fires of 1,600 degrees F for 30 minutes. Temperatures inside their box stayed below 175 degrees. And weights 2/3 less than a comparable size fire proof safe!
Our friends at DREAMSAVER are very excited to bring their new product to Utah and introduce it to the greatest Scrapper's and Crafter's in the country. Their passion is to help you protect what matters most!
In addition to showing off and taking orders on their brand new product, they will also be giving away one at the show - a $995 value! Serial number 001!! If you would like a chance to be one of the first owner's of a DREAMSAVER safe, stop by their booth and show off a photo of "what matters most to you"! It can be an actual photo, or a photo on your phone.
As this is their first launch party they are looking for feedback on their product. They would love to share their knowledge on how you can achieve the priceless "piece of mind protection" that we all want to enjoy!
I am often asked which cutting machine I think is the best. It's hard to answer since there is so much personal preference to these fun electronic's. The good news is that there are some GREAT products on the market right now! With that said, I am happy to introduce the latest player in the world of electronic cutting machines - The ScanNcut by Brother! You may recognize Brother as a maker of scanner's, printers and sewing machines. They definitely are a brand we all recognize. It is not a surprise that they have brought their great products into the world of crafting!
This fun and new toy was one of the hottest and most anticipated items at CHA this winter. In fact, it left the show as not only one of the Hottest products of 2014 but was actually voted first place!
I am also thrilled to mention that the brand new ScanNCut will be available at Scrapbook USA Expo in just a few weeks!
Nuttalls Bernina (a great fabric shop by the way) is going to be with us March 28-29th and they will bring along with them a number of really fun "power tools" including the new ScanNCut! I love the crossover between sewing and paper crafting. I love both creative outlets and I am thrilled to see that this fine machine caters to both the paper crafter as well as the sewers.
*Like to quilt? create custom quilt blocks and cut several pieces at one time.
Make sure to stop by the Nuttall's booth at the show. They will have giveaways that you won't want to miss out on!! Plus their booth will have demo's of the new ScanNCut as well as other great products plus there will be lot's of education for the current crafter and sewer.
Today I am sharing some pages that I have recently made with product from a newer company, Chickaniddy Crafts, who is also one of the many NEW vendors who will be able to shop with at The Original Scrapbook USA Expo. If you haven't checked out their two new collections, you really should. They are both fun and totally easy to work with. I actually had the privilege to work in the booth at CHA and had a blast.
I use this line for a sweet little layout of my little one, who is glued to her baby doll right now, and takes her everywhere.
Their second collection is called Date Night, and worked from date nights, to engagement, wedding scrapping and fun married pictures. This line has fun hues of blue, gray, and pops of peach. Really this line can do anything from winter pages, to boy pages, to everyday pages.
Chickaniddy Crafts also sells their lines in collections packs which come with sticker elements and an alphas sheet. There are also two sheets that have 3x4 tags which came be perfect for project life. There are also some really great embellishments- word sentiment stickers, brads, banner stickers and sticker tags. They also have really cool GOLD and SILVER specialty papers that can be run through any die cut machine to cut, make your own title, border punch or emboss... totally cool right??


The 1967 International and Universal Exposition, or simply Expo 67, was the General Exhibition Category 1 World's Fair held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from April 27 to October 29, 1967. It was considered to be the most successful World's Fair of the 20th century, with over 50 million visitors and 62 nations participating. It also set the single-day attendance record for a world's fair with 569,000 visitors on its third day.
Expo 67 coincided with the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation and was the country's main Centennial event. The 1967 fair was originally intended to be held in Moscow, to help the Soviet Union celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Russian Revolution but, for various reasons, the Soviets decided to cancel, and Canada was awarded it in the fall of 1962.
The project was not originally overwhelmingly supported in Canada. It took the determination of Montreal's mayor, and a new team of managers, to guide it past political, physical and temporal hurdles. Defying even a computer analysis that said it could not be done, the fair opened on time.
After October 1967, Expo 67 lived on as an exhibition called Man and His World during the summer months, from 1968 until 1981. By that time, most of the buildings had fallen into disrepair and were dismantled. Today, the islands that hosted the world are mainly used as parkland and for recreational use, with only a few remaining structures from Expo 67 to show that the fair was held there. To this day, most Canadians from that time still regard it as one of the country's finest cultural achievements.


Baking gluten-free cookies takes trial and error. As you bake you will learn tricks to help you perfect your approach. Use these do's and don'ts to get started.
The most common products containing gluten are barley, rye, triticale (a cross between wheat and rye), and of course, wheat.
The term "flour" is often implicitly understood as "wheat flour." Don't forget the many types of wheat flour on supermarket shelves — all-purpose flour, bromated flour, cake flour, enriched flour, phosphated flour, plain flour, self-rising flour, and whole wheat flour, to name a few.
Other wheat products to avoid in gluten-free baking are bulgur, durum flour, farina, graham flour, kamut, semolina, and spelt.
Certain items may be processed, mixed, or contain gluten, whether as an ingredient, additive or preservative. Other gluten-containing grains, like barley and rye, are not required to be labeled. "Wheat-free" is not the same as "gluten-free." Further, some products like oats and oatmeal can be problematic as they might be cross contaminated with wheat crops.
Look for these products which are usually gluten-free: almond flour, amaranth, brown rice flour, buckwheat, chick pea flour, corn flour, flax, hazelnut flour, millet, peanut flour, potato flour, quinoa, sorghum flour, soybean flour, teff, and white rice flour. Thickeners include arrowroot, cornstarch, potato starch, and tapioca starch.
Always make sure your work surfaces, utensils, pans and tools are free of gluten. Devote a set of bowls, tools, and a cabinet shelf exclusively to gluten-free baking.
Sift flours and starches twice – prior to and after measuring – to improve cookie texture.
Set gluten-free dough in the refrigerator at least ½ hour (or up to overnight) to soften and improve dough texture. Further, gluten-free baked goods can lose moisture and quality quickly. After baking and cooling, wrap them tightly and store in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container to prevent them from becoming dry and stale.
Don't assume a product is gluten-free. The best way to be 100% certain that you're using a "safe" ingredient is to look for a "gluten-free" label, an increasingly common designation.
Don't over beat gluten-free cookie dough. Kneading time is shorter since there is no gluten to develop. If you overbeat, dough may get tough because gluten bonds get too elastic.
Baking gluten-free cookies takes a bit of practice. The Elf had to learn how. So do you. Give yourself a bit of grace and learn from every batch of cookies you bake. Soon you will be a gluten-free maven when it comes to cookies.

Dan Gresswell (1819–1883), was an English veterinary surgeon.

Gresswell was born 13 May 1819 at Kelsey Hall, Spilsby, Lincolnshire. He became in 1840 a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons; and in the same year was elected fellow of the Veterinary Medical Association in recognition of an essay upon 'Lactiferous Glands.' He settled in Louth about the same time, and became widely known as a veterinary surgeon.

On 20 February 1877 he was elected fellow of the College of Veterinary Surgeons as a reward for original research. He wrote many original papers on 'Paralysis in the Horse,' 'Excision of the Uterus in the Cow,' 'Treatment and Ætiology of Splenic Apoplexy or Anthrax,' 'Tetanus,' 'Arsenical Poisoning,' and other subjects. His sons have, since his death, published several works upon veterinary science, partly embodying his manuscripts and verbal instructions. He took an active part in local politics as a strong conservative, and did much to improve the sanitary arrangements of Louth. He was elected to the town council 1 November 1862, alderman in April 1871, and mayor 9 November of the same year.

He continued to be an alderman until his death at Kelsey House, Louth, 13 March 1883. He married, 18 December 1845, Anne Beastall of Reston, near Louth, by whom he had eight sons and seven daughters. They all survived him.

The "Den" Chili Parlor a place for food and story telling
When I first got out of college I worked for the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and many of the guys I worked with on a regular basis trekked to the Chili Den to try out the "firebrand chili" with hopes of adding their name to the famous wall. Years later this was a place that we would sometimes meet our friend the late Mike Hammitt, it was one of his favorites.
The Chili Parlor has been around since 1945 when on New Years Eve, 1945 Joe Rogers opened a little diner on South Grand Avenue. Later Joe and Pauline's daughter Marianne moved the location to the current one on 9nth street, then a little over a year ago, Roy and Stephanie Beal purchased this Springfield legend. "We bought the diner on December 1st from the original owner," Roy said.
Business has been good for the Beals who have kept the original recipes intact. "The customer base has been better than I imagined," Roy said. "I always loved to eat there when it was the Den back on South Grand. When Marianne opened this place, I was one of the original customers."
After putting a bug in Marianne's ear about interest in purchasing it, Roy came to work at the diner and worked there for a year before buying it. It was a surprise, to everyone when they purchased it, Roy said it was almost like an Undercover Boss episode! With many of the long-term employees still at the diner, the only real change is a new face at the helm, but Roy and Stephanie wanted to keep the original charm intact.
I visited the Chili Parlor along with Jeff Berg of Visit Springfield while doing research for an upcoming article in Senior News & Times about local places to eat during the Illinois State Fair. The chili was as good as I remembered and the list of names on the Firebrand wall of fame remind me of the stories that have taken place here and at South Grand over the years. Our memories of eating here with a friend we recently lost made the visit a bit bitter sweet, but making memories and having old and new stories to tell is what it is all about.
When in Springfield, while you may be trying out a Springfield tradition, the Horseshoe, don't forget the Chili Parlor and see if you are man or woman enough to have your name emblazoned on the Firebrand Wall. You won't see mine, I like my chili mild please!
Keep in mind this is a lunch or early afternoon stop open Monday through Saturday between 11am and 4pm. Check out their website at http://www.thechiliparloronline.com for more information!

Attorney(s) for Respondent/Plaintiff-Appellee(s)
Honorable Peter B. Carlisle, Prosecuting Attorney, and Stephen K. Tsushima, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, City & County of Honolulu
COURT: RTYM, CJ; SHL, PAN, SRA & JED, JJ.
[ Listen to the entire audio recording in mp3 format ]
Following a jury trial in the circuit court of the first circuit, the defendant Anthony Kassebeer, Jr. was convicted of sexual assault in the first degree and kidnapping. Kassebeer appealed his conviction to the Intermediate Court of Appeals (ICA), which filed a memorandum opinion on February 29, 2008 affirming the circuit court's November 16, 2005 judgment of conviction and sentence. On May 29, 2008, Kassebeer filed a timely application for a writ of certiorari from the ICA's March 28, 2008 judgment on appeal, which this court accepted on July 3, 2008.
Kassebeer raises the following arguments in his application: (1) he was denied his constitutional right to a fair trial through cumulative errors by the circuit court; (2) the circuit court erred in admitting Kassebeer's handgun into evidence; (3) the circuit court erred in admitting into evidence testimony of a prior incident of physical abuse by Kassebeer against Kassebeer's wife at the time of the incident; (4) the circuit court failed to deliver a unanimous verdict instruction as to the charge of kidnapping; (5) the circuit court erred in communicating its opinion that an offense had actually been committed; (6) the circuit court erred in preventing Kassebeer from effectively confronting and cross-examining witnesses called by the prosecution; and (7) the circuit court erred in refusing to grant Kassebeer's motions for mistrial.

Introduction. This paper reports an exploratory study examining how users participate in social tagging activities in a scholarly digital library environment to learn about their motivations, behaviour, and practices.
Method. This study was conducted in two phases: a survey to investigate usage and attitudes of social tagging tool, and a task-based user study on tagging practices in Theses@UMalaya followed by a post-task questionnaire and interview. A total of thirty-seven responses were gathered out of 160 respondents giving a 23% response rate.
Analysis. Responses to the study were analysed using SPSS while qualitative data were coded to bring together the emerging themes.
Results. The survey demonstrated that the majority of the participants have not used social tagging before mainly because they were unaware of the existence. The participants used keyword that most closely related to describe the documents as a tag. Usability of the social tagging application was evaluated using SUMI and PLE constructs. The participants indicated the social tagging tool was relatively more usable rather than providing them with the ability to carry out the tagging process with less effort.
Conclusions. A better understanding of social tagging usage and usability will help to improve future development of social tagging tools in digital libraries.
Social tagging services such as Delicious, CiteUlike and PennTag offer an alternative mechanism for resource discovery and browsing of digital resources (e.g. website, scholarly papers) through tags that were added by users. The tags also serve as ways for users to organize their information based on their own preference for future retrieval. However there are conflicting opinions that social tagging is too flexible and do not have enough control over the vocabulary (Lu, Park and Hu, 2010). This is often criticized for imprecise and ambiguously chosen keywords for tags when compared to conventional classification scheme used by professional indexers such as librarians or information specialist who manually categorize the resources. But with the advent of Internet which has radically increased the amount of information to the public, to continually manually categorizing resources by professional indexer is not only impractical but costly as well.
To add into that, in these recent years, many academic institutions have taken the initiatives to develop digital repositories or also known as digital libraries to preserve, publish and disseminate scholar communications (e.g. pre-print articles, thesis, dissertation and etc.). In order to make these resources freely and widely visible and available, many institutions opt to self-archiving their resources through open access initiatives. In self-archiving, the document producers or owners are responsible to deposit their resources and create metadata to describe the documents. This is important mainly for indexing and retrieval purposes. However, the keywords chosen for the metadata elements are inconsistent because the document producers/owners have little or no knowledge about indexing. As a result, it makes the retrieval process difficult. One possible solution is to incorporate social tagging tool into digital repositories/digital library to empower users to actively participate and contribute to its community by allowing them to freely attach their personal tags to the digital resources.
The research presented in this paper investigates the use of social tagging in a scholarly digital library environment named Theses@UMalaya, which serves as an institutional repository providing digital collection of thesis and dissertation belonging to or related with University of Malaya in Malaysia. Theses@UMalaya was developed using Dspace, a free open source software developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in 2002. For the purpose of this study, social tagging facility was added to Theses@UMalaya and made available to users. This study is exploratory in nature with the main purpose of examining how users participate in social tagging activities in order to learn about their motivations, behaviour and practices. A better understanding of users' knowledge, habits and interactions with the social tagging application can help to improve the design, development and eventually the usage of digital library.
This paper is organized as follows: the next attempts to shed light on the fundamental concepts of social tagging and related studies; this is followed by a brief discussion on the research objectives and methods, followed by a presentation of the results, a discussion of the findings, and finally, conclusions from the research and some proposals for future work.
Social tagging is a process of adding tags or keyword freely to online resources which is an important aspect of social bookmarking services that resulted in folksonomy. While taxonomy and ontology are classifications and naming conventions prepared by experts, folksonomies are result from individuals freely tagging resources available in the Internet. Social tagging, which is also known as collaborative tagging, social classification and social indexing is a process where users mark or annotate websites or digital objects they come across on the internet which they find useful. The main intention is to facilitate their access in the future by enabling them to search using the keywords they have tagged to the resource. By using social tagging, information can be categorized in ways that bring meaning to users. Users can "tag" or describe information using their own words as they see fit and meaningful to them. Although users tag an item with the intention of their own consumption, the result of the tagging produces collective intelligence as it is shared in Internet community (Anfinnsen, et al., 2011). Social tagging also allows individuals who have similar interest to connect with each other thus facilitating sharing of information. According to Marlow et al. (2006), in addition to the collection of information, the taggers develop social relationships among themselves which in itself is a useful discovery. The tags that are assigned to the online resources normally appear in a tag cloud, the high frequency of tag assigned is indicated by a bigger and darker font size.
A number ofempirical studies have reported on experiences using social tagging tools in libraries. For example, University of Pennsylvania who implemented PennTag allows users to tag their library OPAC. PennTag enabled members of the university's community to not only tag but also comment on resources in the library's online catalog (Allen and Winkler, 2006). Other software similar to PennTag are Social Online Public Access Catalog (SOPAC), and LibraryThing. SOPAC is developed by Ann Arbor District Library (AADL) which allows library users to assign tags to individual library resources, or to write review or comment andto view the list of the most popular and recent tags (Furner, 2007). LibraryThing (www.librarything.com) on the other hand is a cataloguing and social networking site for book enthusiast where they can tag, rate and review books. In 2007, Wenzler (2007) reported an initiative taken by Danbury library that added LibraryThings widgets into their library catalogs. A few other studies later are conducted to compare LibraryThings with other subject heading classification scheme such as Lawson (2009) who analysed Amazon and LibraryThings tags, Thomas, Caudle and Schmitz (2009) who compared the tags in LibraryThing books and LC subject headings. Most recently Voorbij (2012) examined whether or not books drawn from LibraryThing carry tags.
Succinctly, libraries are taking advantage of social tagging tools and folksonomies into their OPAC to become collaborative and interactive. However, it is evident from the literature that social tagging has not yet become prevalent in digital libraries environment or institutional repositories as apposed to tagging application in conventional library environment. Thus, for this particular reason this study is conducted to fill the gap.
This study was conducted in two phases;, the first phase is an exploratory survey to investigate participants'usage and attitudes towards social tagging application that essentially has addressed the first research objective. The survey consisted of 14 questionnaires which focuses on: examining social tagging usage and non-usage in academic setting; frequency of use; types of social tagging system they have used or heard before; the purpose of usage or intention to use; and reasons for non-usage.The survey ends with an open ended question asking participants to give comments on social tagging application or practices. The participants then were asked to include their contact if they would like to participate in the next phase. The survey was distributed to graduate students in a computer science faculty using printed and online survey form for the duration of one month from July to August 2012. A total of 37 responses were gathered out of 160 respondents giving a 23% response rate. Out of this, 33 participants agreed to participate in the next phase.
The second phase required participants to carry out a task-based user study on social tagging process. This is then followed by a post-task questionnaire and interview. The user study process is carried out at a computer lab in the computer science faculty where a short introduction to the social tagging application was given to the participants. The participants were given 15-20 minutes to familiarize themselves with the social tagging application that was embedded in a digital library of thesis (Theses@UMalaya, available at http://dspace.fsktm.um.edu.my/) after which they were asked to carry out a tagging task. Participants were given a scenario and tagging tasks to be completed as shown in Figure 1.
After completing the user study, participants were invited to complete an online post-task questionnaire to evaluate how usable and easy the social tagging application is to them. For the purpose of this evaluation, Software Usability Measurement Inventory (Software Usability Measurement Inventory) is adopted. The reason Software Usability Measurement Inventory is chosen as the underlying model is because it not only measures the quality of the tagging application from the users' point of view (Kirakowski, 1993), but it also measures how user feels about the application (Bevan and Curson, 1997). In addition to Software Usability Measurement Inventory, the social tagging application was also evaluated via the Principle of Least Effort (principle of least effort). Literature has shown that human tend to choose the path of least resistance or effort when carrying out tasks, and therefore, the social tagging system was evaluated to assess if it exhibits this principle.
The post-task questionnaire consists of 17 questions adopted from Software Usability Measurement Inventory to measure the following 5 constructs: Affect, Learnability, Efficiency, Helpfulness, and Control of the social tagging application. The other 15 questions look at the 5 construct of principle of least effort; Convenience, Accessibility/Availability, Ease of Use, Saving of Time, Familiarity. A five point Likert scale (1=Strongly Disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Neutral, 4=Agree, 5=Strongly Agree) is used to indicate participants' agreement or disagreement of both Software Usability Measurement Inventory and principle of least effort constructs. Table 1 and Table 2 list the definition of each construct used in the questionnaire and the corresponding question numbers for Software Usability Measurement Inventory and principle of least effort respectively.
A total of thirty-three participants participated in the task-based user study, and eighteen of them volunteered to take part in the following interview sessions. The interview session was carried out to gather in-depth understanding on how social tagging process is conducted by participants, and lasted for about fifteen minutes each. The second phase of this study has essentially addressed the second, third and fourth research objectives.
Responses to the survey and post-task questionnaires were analysed quantitatively using SPSS and were supported by participants' responses to open ended questions which were coded as C1-C37 and T1-T33 respectively. Responses from the interview on the other hand were analysed to bring together the emerging themes and the responses were coded as N1-N18.
The survey was conducted for the duration of one month in July 2012. A total of 37 responses were gathered with 68% (25) of female and the remaining 32% (12) were male. Out of the total responses, a majority of the participants have not used social tagging with 57% (21) and only 43% (16) of them have used it before.
Participants who have used social tagging or bookmarking software before (N=16) indicated that they do not remember how frequent they use it, often indicated as rarely, and depends on the needs(24%).When asked about which social tagging or bookmarking software they have used, the participants indicated that they have used CiteULike most (27.0%), followed by Del.icio.us (21.6%).
The survey demonstrated that participants used social tagging application for different purposes as shown in Table 3. The highest response indicated by participants in using the social tagging software is to share information with others (20%). However, the most responses (35%) indicated that other purposes are also evident and one such example is using it in Facebook. The survey also revealed that participants preferred to use personal tags as the 1st rank, followed by content-based tags, and tags to indicate ownership. Table 4 shows how the participants become interested in using social tagging. The participants indicated that they come to know about social tagging application through reading (18%), self-taught (16%), and from colleagues (16%). The highest percentage (52%) however was indicated by "do not remember".
How did you first become interested in using social tagging?
Participants who have not used social tagging or bookmarking software before (N=21) indicated that the main reason of not using it was because they were not aware of their availability and there was no need to use them as demonstrated by 10% respectively as shown in Table 5. Table 6 on the other hand demonstrates for what purpose the participants might use social tagging in the future. The highest reason was for sharing information (12%) followed by for future retrieval (10%).
Table 7 lists participants' comments on the social tagging practices in an open ended question. Most of the comments were indicated by not aware of social tagging application (5 responses) although the participants opined it is useful to them as demonstrated by 4 responses.
Interview sessions were carried out to gather in-depth understanding how social tagging process is conducted by participants. From a total of 18 participants interviewed, 15 (83%) of them have never done social tagging (or social bookmarking) in educational setting before although they have indicated of doing that in other social media websites such as on Facebook and Flickr (N2-N8, N11-N18). This is evident from some of the remarks: "I usually do tagging in Facebook only" (N3); "I use Facebook to tag my friends" (N2). The reason of not using tagging in educacational setting was mainly because they were not aware of such applications as indicated by 14 (78%) participants (N1, N2,N4, N6-N8, N10-N13, N15-N18). Participants also indicated that it took time for them to learn new technology.
When asked on how they carry out the tagging process, the participants generally use keyword they think most closely related to describe the documents they read to become the tag as indicated by 10 (55%) participants (N2, N3, N6, N8-N10, N12,N13, N15, N18). However one participant mentioned to use using numbers to tag documents (N10) and use type of documents e.g. journal (N4) as a tag. According to the participants, the chosen words for the tagging are mainly from the documents content (6 participants, 33%) ,title (5 participants, 28%), or abstract (3 participants, 17%). Conversely it was interesting to note that one of the participants actually chose word that is not in the title and not among the document keyword as the tag "…. as I was reading the abstract, the research was about exploring users expectations, and 'user expectation' was not in the title and was not among the assigned keywords. That's why I use it" (N4).
Nevertheless, some participants pointed out that it was difficult to choose the right tag as indicated by N4, N6,and N7 who said "…. difficult to choose the right tags so that they are relevant and useful to you for future retrieval, however, you spend much time on choosing the right word alone (N7)". N17 added difficulty to choose one single word as a tag as he/she said "It was slightly difficult to choose one word to describe one bib text". Other than that participants were concerned that the tag would not be useful enough if it is similar to the document title or the assigned keyword for the document (N4), and the tags assigned might not be correct (N9).
After using the social tagging system, some of the participants suggested a few recommendations to improve the application such as to be able to organize the documents in folders (N1, N8) and be able to edit the tags (N9),They would like the application to give recommendation keyword as the tags (keyword that have been used previously) (N9, N16), auto-complete the spelling as they type-in the tags (N9), and to present the tags in hierarchy order (N9).
Usability of the social tagging application was evaluated based on 5 Software Usability Measurement Inventory construct. Table 11 lists the frequency percentage for each questionnaire item including both the positive and negative statements of the 5 construct. The negative questionnaires item are used to serve as a bias control for Software Usability Measurement Inventory constructs.The negative questionnaire or the reversal items are marked with "(**)" next to the question. For the reversal item questions, the response value is reversed before it is included into the table to calculate the means of the relevant Software Usability Measurement Inventory construct. For example if the participant gave a 1, that score is reversed to be 5; if the given score is a 2, it is reversed to 4; 3 = 3; 4 = 2; and, 5 = 1.The final score for each construct is the sum of the ratings for all the items for that particular construct.
As shown in Table 8, all of the Software Usability Measurement Inventory items statements result in a value above 3 point of Likert scale, and the highest frequency of each item were generally on the 4=Agree scale except for item number 4 "I don't understand why I should use my time on adding tags (**)" where there were equal percentage (21.1%) for 2=Disagree, 3=Undecided and 4=Agree. The mean value however indicated towards a positive response which is M= 3.5.The usability of the social tagging application is evident from Software Usability Measurement Inventory overall mean value for each of the constructs where the highest mean value was for Efficiency (M=4.0), followed by Control (M=3.9), Affect (M=3.8), Helpfulness (M=3.8),and Learnability (M=3.7).
Item no. 17. "I find it difficult to describe documents using only a single word (**)" with the highest percentage of 36.4% for 2=Disagree (after the item was reversed) which means that participants actually agree with this statement.
Item no. 29. "It takes more time to decide a suitable tag to describe the content of a document (**)"with the highest percentage of 39.4% for 2=Disagree (after the item was reversed) which means that participants actually agree with this statement.
The mean value for both the items mentioned above demonstrated towards a negative response (below 3 point Likert Scale) with the average of M=2.9 and M=2.6 respective. This indicates that the participants were not positive towards these two particular statements.
However, the social tagging application has generally exhibit the use of principle of least effort and it is evident from the overall mean value for each of the constructs where the highest mean value was for Accessibility/Availability (M=3.8), followed by Ease of Use (M=3.7), Familiarity (M=3.6), Convenience (M=3.3),and Saving of Time (M=3.2).
In an attempt to find out if there is any relationship between the two constructs (Software Usability Measurement Inventory and principle of least effort) on the social tagging practices, a statistical analysis was carried out using Pearson correlation. Table 10 presents a matrix to show the correlation between the pairs of Software Usability Measurement Inventory and principle of least effort construct. The significant correlations are highlighted.
From the responses provided by the users who took part in the evaluation process, there is evidence to show a significant correlation between users' perception of Affect and the five principle of least effort constructs (convenience, accessibility or availability, saving time, ease of use and familiarity). Efficiency was demonstrated to have a significant correlation with convenience, accessibility or availability and ease of use. While control has significant correlation with saving time and familiarity. Both helpfulness and learnability on the other hand have significant correlation between ease of use, and familiarity.
The first research objective was addressed using a survey questionnaire to investigate the usage of social tagging application. The survey demonstrated that out of a total of 37 responses, a majority of the participants (57%) have not used social tagging and only 43% of them have used it before. Those who have used social tagging before reported that they used CiteUlike most of the time followed by Del.icio.us. The indicated main purpose of using social tagging is for sharing information as shown by 20% of the responses. For participants that have not used social tagging before intended to use it in future for the same purpose which is for sharing information (19%). In addition, these participants also indicated the main reasons of not using the social tagging were because they were not aware of the application (10%) and feels that there was no need to use it (10%).
The task-based user study has essentially addressed the second, third, fourth and fifth research objectives. The social tagging application that was embedded in Thesis@Um digital library enabled users to gain first-hand experience of tagging in a scholarly digital library. The findings revealed that when carrying out the tagging process, the participants generally use keyword that they think most closely related to describe the documents they read to become the tag as indicated by 55% participants although some participants has mentioned the use of numbers to tag documents and the use of type of documents e.g. journal as a tag. According to the participants, the chosen words for the tagging are mainly from the documents' content, title, and abstract.
In examining how usable the social tagging application is to users, a 5 constructs of Software Usability Measurement Inventory (Affect, Learnability, Efficiency, Helpfulness, and Control) were used. The other 5 constructs of principle of least effort (Convenience, Accessibility/Availability, saving time, Ease of Use and Familiarity) were used to investigate whether the social tagging application provides the users with the ability to carry out the tagging process with less effort. The findings in general revealed that participants found that the social tagging application was relatively more usable rather than providing the users with the ability to carry out the tagging process with less effort. This is evident when the mean between both Software Usability Measurement Inventory and principle of least effort constructs were compared as shown in Table 11. The 5 constructs of Software Usability Measurement Inventory demonstratedmean values that close to 4=Agree scale while only 3 constructs of principle of least effort (Accessibility/Availability, Ease of Use and Familiarity) reach the same scale.
In addition, it is interesting to examine whether participants prior usage of social tagging application might have influenced their responses towards Software Usability Measurement Inventory and principle of least effort constructs. The t-test analysis was conducted to confirm that there is no significant correlation between the participants' prior experience of using social tagging application with Software Usability Measurement Inventory or principle of least effort constructs.
Participants who are able to proceed with social tagging process in a convenient way, who find the tag available and accessible to them, and find that tags help them shorten their search, were satisfied and pleased in using the application.
Participants who find the social tagging application efficient also find it convenience to use, and they agree that the tags are available and accessible to them, and easy to use.
Participants who perceive the social tagging application as helpful and learnable also find the application easy to use, and has familiar features.
Participants who feel in control (e.g. certain that the assigned tags are correct) with the social tagging system also feels that it has familiar features that can help them shorten their search (using the tags).
Participants who feel that the social tagging application could enable the tagging process to be performed using less effort are inclined to perceive the application as being usable mainly based on affect (e.g. satisfaction with the tags assigned, pleased to see tags contribution in the clouds), efficiency (e.g. tags could aid future retrieval), helpfulness (e.g. the tag cloud is helpful to assist in choosing other tags, the logical organization of cloud) and learnability (e.g. being able to easily remember the steps when carrying out the tagging process).
This study is motivated by the lack of literature reported on the use of social tagging tool in scholarly digital library as an institutional repository.It is exploratory in nature with the main purpose of examining how users participate in social tagging activities in order to learn about their motivations, behaviour and practices. In addition, this study examines the usability of the social tagging tool and to observe whether it provides users with the ability to carry out the tagging process with less effort. This is based on the premises that social tagging tool should be easy to use as the tagging process itself relies on user participations that is particularly important in self-archiving intuitional repository. For both social tagging and self-archiving tools, without user participations, the system most likely would fail to thrive. To conclude, a better understanding of social tagging usability and how users interact with the tool will help to improve development of digital library as institutional repository. This study however was limited by a small sample size and therefore the generalization of the findings should be treated with caution. Future research could be conducted to examine tags growth and reuse that might render in design implications to enhance the social tagging application.

iHeartRadio has more than 60M registered users, claims it's growing faster than Facebook - MVNO MVNE MNO Mobile & Telecoms industry intelligence
iHeartRadio has more than 60M registered users, claims it's growing faster than Facebook
Today iHeartRadio threw a bunch of stats in a press release to let you know how fast it's growing. Though the numbers seem big, they may not stack up against some of iHeartRadio's biggest competitors.
iHeartRadio says it has a total of 60 million registered users and almost 90 million unique visitors across its network. The company also says that its iHeartRadio app has been downloaded 500 million times.
Comparatively, music streaming service Spotify just announced last week that it has 60 million active users — note: "active," not just "registered." Meanwhile, Pandora says it has 76.5 million active users.
iHeartRadio, which connects users to radio stations across the country, is owned by iHeartMedia — formerly Clear Channel Radio. The media entity changed its name last September in an attempt to appeal to a younger audience and combat the negative reputation associated with its name (in short, the company was caught receiving kickbacks from major record labels for playing music from certain artists).
Perhaps the best indication of iHeartRadio's success lies in the difference between its registered users and the total number of people who have downloaded the iHeartRadio app. Of the 500 million who have downloaded iHeartRadio, only 60 million have actually registered.
Yet, iHeartRadio claims it's growing "faster than any other radio or digital music service — even faster than Facebook." We've reached out to iHeartRadio for more details, and they denied to
It's worth noting, however, that you don't have to register with iHeartRadio to use its app. The only time users have to register is when they use the custom station feature. But, this still doesn't tell us anything about how often iHeartRadio's listeners are actually using the application.
In contrast to its competitors, iHeartRadio doesn't have a paid option; the service is entirely free. iHeartMedia makes its money by serving you ads — and maybe that's why it may not be seeing the growth that Pandora and Spotify have seen. Both companies, Pandor and Spotify, offer ad-free options that people are willing to pay for. Meanwhile, iHeartRadio is, in many ways, just repackaging an old music distribution model.
iHeartRadio is a free, all-in-one digital radio service that lets you listen to your favorite Live Stations or create commercial-free, all-music Custom Stations featuring songs from the artist you select and similar music. iHeartRadio … read more »

Water merger decision by March
A final decision on whether Tasmania's three rural water and sewerage corporations will be merged into a single body is likely to be made sometime in March, according to the Local Government Association of Tasmania (LGAT).
LGAT formed a working group in September last year to investigate the viability of the merger of the three corporations after chairman of the three bodies briefed the association, claiming that a merger would result in savings in the order of around $5 million per year.
"Water and sewerage charges are on the increase in order to replace ageing infrastructure and while the savings of $5 million annually will not stop the increases, it will slow them down," Mr Hampton said.
"This will benefit customers and see improved returns to Local Government owners for the provision of other vital services."
LGAT CEO Allan Garcia said the decision is likely to be made in the general meeting of the association in March.
President of the association, Mayor Barry Easther, said the corporations formed in 2008 to provide the best quality service to the community, but admitted that merging them could lead to greater outcomes for consumers.


These past few months, we have had our crews out working with the Save the Tasmanian Devil team, undertaking devil habitat improvements and camera trap monitoring on the Tasman Peninsula. The captive bred devil release site is located in southern Tasmania and is playing a vital role in providing a safe haven for facial tumour free devils to be introduced or reintroduced into the wild.
There are thirty sites across the peninsula that have infra-red, motion activated cameras set up for a duration of 2 weeks every year to capture photographs. These photos are then analysed to identify individual devils and help determine if the population is healthy and growing.
When reviewing the photos, we look closely at the devils' white blazes, as they are all unique and assist us in identifying individuals. Each photograph is also reviewed closely to look for any signs of devil facial tumour disease and we are happy to report that all the devils we photographed were tumour free and we even identified some individuals who have never been seen before, meaning that the devils are successfully breeding.
The data we collect as part of this project is crucial in helping the Save the Devil team understand how well captive bred devils are adapting to life in the wild and will allow for early intervention, should devil facial tumour disease take hold on the Tasman Peninsula.
This project forms part of our national threatened species program, Wild Futures.
For this monitoring program to see ongoing success and allow for effective management and early intervention, it is crucial that it is conducted annually. We are seeking support to continue this important citizen science project.

Kylie Jenner's Tattoo Artist, Bang Bang, Spills Secrets From His New Book
Nov 25, 2015 @ 12:00 pm By Ashley Uzer
What kind of person gets to fly high in the air on Justin Bieber's private jet, sit sideline with Katy Perry during the Super Bowl halftime, and casually call Rihanna their BFF? If you guessed an A-lister, a groupie, or a stylist, you'd be wrong.
Wanna know who tattoos your favorite celebrities? He goes by the name of Bang Bang, and he just added Kylie Jenner to his ongoing list of celebrity clientele. But how exactly does one go from a small town in Delaware to tattooing lion's on Cara Delevingne's delicate fingers? In Kevin "Bang Bang" McCurdy's latest book release, entitled Bang Bang: My Life In Ink, he discloses all of his secrets; from his first celebrity client (Rihanna), his "calf of fame," to tips on getting your first tattoo.
We caught up with Bang Bang to learn about tattoo trends, ask about his favorite piece of ink done by a celebrity, and attempt to squeeze out some information about Kylie Jenner's latest piece of work.
It's well known that you have a "calf of fame," you've described that "some people want photos with their favorite celebs– I want them to tattoo me. I'm like a needy fan, but instead of a selfie, I need a thirty minute autograph." What's your favorite tattoo that you've received from one of your clients?
Rihanna gave me an umbrella with an R. It was the first one that a celebrity had done on me. I've known her for so long and I've watched her grow. I'm so proud of her, so that tattoo is really special to me.
You tattooed Kylie Jenner this past week, and she returned the favor by giving you a crown with a "K" inside on your calf. Can you tell us more about what you tattooed onto Kylie and if she explained the meaning behind the tattoo?
Sometimes clients prefer their tattoos be private. She will announce what she got and the meaning behind it when she's ready. I've tattooed many more celebrities and some of the most famous people that no one even knows about.
Do you think it's important to have a "meaning" behind a tattoo? Or to be more like Rihanna and decide what you want in that moment?
There can be tons of meaning behind a tattoo, but not be visually pleasing. As an artist, meaning is important, but the visual is more important.
What advice do you have for someone who is thinking about getting their first tat?
Do your research and find a great tattoo artist. You don't have experience in designing tattoos, so you need to find someone with experience and that you trust. You can get a spur of the moment tattoo that you'll love forever if you trust the person doing it.
Where's the most common place and/or motif that girls have been getting tatted lately?
We tattoo so many things and people so it's hard to say. We definitely do a lot of delicate designs. A lot of times when we are doing them, the person will apologize for how simple or small it is, but we don't mind because we are just happy to do it.
Do tattoo trends come and go the way that fashion does? If so, what do you see at the latest "trends?"
They absolutely come and go, we've all seen it with tramp stamps. Currently, a big trend is traditional American tattooing. We don't do a lot of that in our shop, but a lot of other places have been doing it lately. It's the first style our country saw, but I prefer doing new and extremely detailed pieces that challenge myself.
You've tatted Justin Bieber while flying on his private jet, and Katy Perry at the Superbowl, what's the one place you haven't tatted someone yet that you would like to?
There are a lot of places that I haven't tattooed that I want to. Like the Great Wall of China or space. I'm sure most of these places will come true in time.

New Tennessee law leaves DUI offenders on hook for child support
Ethan's, Hailey's and Bentley's Law charges DUI offenders with child support if parent or guardian is killed in crash.
The man was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated DUI with a passenger under the age of 15, one count of extreme DUI, and one count of DUI with BAC of .08 or more.(MGN)

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - A 2023 Tennessee law will leave some DUI offenders on the hook for child support if a parent or guardian is killed in a crash.
The law in Tennessee is named Ethan's, Hailey's, and Bentley's Law and it's modeled after a law presented in Missouri.
"Drunk driving is a real issue and we have a problem with continued offenders," said Diane Sutton the driving force behind the passing of the Tennessee law.
Sutton is cousins with Cecilia Williams.
Williams is the grandmother of Bentley, who the bill is named after.
Bentley is the child of Lacey Newton and Cordell Shawn Michael Williams.
The parents were killed in a suspected drunk driving crash in Missouri in 2021 alongside Bentley's 4-month-old sibling.
Struck by the impact that crash has had on her cousin, Sutton met with Tennessee State Representative Mark Hall, a republican from Cleveland, to get the bill passed in Tennessee.
"We can't bring our loved one back but hopefully people will know that the offender is always going to be reminded," said Sutton.
The bill requires anyone convicted in a drunk driving accident that killed a parent or guardian to pay child support for their children until they turn 18 years old or graduate high school.
"The children need it, you know a lot of times their main support system has been taken from them and we don't want them to suffer as much," said Sutton.
While first passed in Tennessee, there are almost 25 other states working to pass similar legislation.
"We're hoping that they'll realize that's a big responsibility that you're taking on," said Sutton. "So, taking that other drink or taking up your keys and you've got that in your mindset you know, maybe you won't do that, call an Uber, call a Lyft you know there are so many different things you can do other than drink and drive."

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm having a crazy week of work. I had a bunch of projects land at the same time, which is always a blessing for money but a curse for my sanity and sleep schedule. I've been working 16 hour days basically the entire week.
It doesn't leave much room for gaming. But I do need to take the occasional break to clear my head. Usually a break is catching up on twitter for a few minutes or listening to part of a podcast while I'm eating a fast meal.
But 10-15 minute gaming breaks can be super refreshing mentally. So, I've been playing a lot of Quiz Up! I might dig into some other iPhone games I have waiting on my phone already, but for the moment Quiz Up is keeping me sane. It's really easy to do short sessions and it takes my full attention.
It's amazing how much better I can work after a quick gaming break. Clearing my mind with breaks every few hours let's me keep being super productive and last through these long days.
I'm hoping that I can get back to a more normal schedule later this week. At least by this weekend hopefully.
