Isn't Tourrette's part of being a librarian?  It seems that the many and
various stresses librarians contend with is surely the source of Tourette's.



There is certainly a lot of swearing involved.

That said, Lisa Coker who used to be a Houser has a son with Tourrette's. 

 
If anyone is looking for a cause, research into the Syndrome is a good one.

I really liked the way it was structured. However, I can see that it isn't
for everyone. It isn't a straight narration, it twists a bit here and there.


grymalkyn@gmail.com said:
> That is an excellent series; I read it...last year, I think.

Finished HTKs over the weekend. I'm looking forward to the next.

In case y'all haven't heard, Jax has edited and released "Fae Fatales: A Fantasy Noir Anthology".
(http://www.amazon.com/Fae-Fatales-Fantasy-Anthology-Edition/dp/0473243172/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1372104826&sr=8-2&keywords=jax+goss)
There are one or two familiar names amongst the authors, as well. I've got
that sitting around waiting for me.

These days, I try to switch between p-books and e-books. I've read a few
e-books in a row, so I picked up a p-book when I finished the Jemisin. I've
*finally* started Haddon's "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime".
I'm sure others can talk more intelligently about it, but so far it's pretty
dang good.

Media Advisory for Massachusetts Not One More Deportation!

 

MEDIA ADVISORY

For:  Friday, June 21, 2013

Contact: Conrado Santos, Student Immigrant Movement 617-767-6935
                Edwin Argueta, Mass. Jobs with Justice 617-335-9501

Week of Action to Protest Immigrant Detentions and Deportations in New England

Activities planned in Boston, Springfield, Burlington with undocumented workers and supporters


Immigrant and workers’ rights organizations will lead a “Not One More Deportation” Week of Action from June 24- June 28 to call on the Obama Administration to halt the detention and deportation of undocumented workers who would be eligible for the path to citizenship through passage of the proposed immigration reform legislation. Additionally, they are demanding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) drop the cases and provide relief for undocumented workers who are leaders in the community, including victims of the New Bedford Bianco raid of 2006 who have been in legal limbo for 7 years.

The week of action will include prayer, fasting, vigils and community events throughout Massachusetts and extending to New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut. A hundred immigrants and allies will join in a caravan across Massachusetts and New England to break their fast and hold a vigil outside the regional ICE office in Burlington, MA

 “The Administration and ICE have stated repeatedly that their priority is detention and deportation of serious criminals, but according to the 2012 statistics, 45% of those who were deported had no criminal convictions at all,” said Conrado Santos, organizer with the Student Immigrant Movement. “Many more had been convicted only of minor crimes, like driving without a license.”

The schedule of events includes:

Monday, June 24 - BOSTON - Press conference with undocumented workers and their family members facing deportation. They will begin our fast and share their stories. Faith leader and union president will fast in solidarity and speak. 15 New Sudbury St. Boston from 11 to noon.

Monday, June 24 - BOSTON  - Arts and music protest at Suffolk Detention Center. A coordinated action with detained immigrants—immigrants inside and friends & families outside share messages of hope. Jules Joseph, a legal permanent resident who was detained at Suffolk and recently won his case to stay in the US, will speak of his experience. Melania Bruno, friend of Livio Arias Torres, 70 year old detained at Suffolk, will share a song. 20 Bradston St. Boston from 5 to 6 pm. 

Wednesday, June 26 - BOSTON - Teach-in on How to Stop Deportations with SIM (Student Immigrant Movement). Undocumented students teach family and friends how to stop deportations and win with public action and street theatre. City Hall Plaza, Boston from Noon to 1PM. 

Wednesday, June 26 - PLYMOUTH  - Prayer Vigil at the Plymouth Detention Center with the Unitarian Universalist Brewster Church. Faith leaders & members hold first ever vigil at Plymouth Detention Center to call on President Obama to halt unjust detentions and deportations. 26 Long Pond Road, Plymouth, 2-3PM. 

Wednesday, June 26 - NEW BEDFORD - Community Forum on Immigrant Workers. Stories and discussion with undocumented workers. Vida Abudante Church, 230 Union St., New Bedford from 5-7PM.

Thursday, June 27 - BURLINGTON - Historic Vigil at Burlington Detention Center. Mass caravan from across Massachusetts and New England to regional ICE office in Burlington. Undocumented workers will protest their own imminent deportations and faith leaders will share prayer.

Re: good books


A couple days ago I started Jemisin's "Hundred Thousand Kingdoms".  This wenton my Big List when Randall recommended it a while ago.  I read Jemisin's GoH
speech for an Australian convention and that convinced I really wanted to read
her books much sooner rather than later.  It's excellent and I echo Randall's
recommendation.  This book has been keeping me up pretty late the past few
nights.

That is an excellent series; I read it...last year, I think.

I finished GGK's River of Stars and started Beautiful Creatures by Garcia and Stohl.  So far, it seems that the movie stuck pretty close to the book, but I'm not that far into it yet....

Re: good books

I'm reading The Strongest Librarian in the World by Josh Harnagarne. It's a memoir about growing up Mormon with Tourrette Syndrome and his passion for books. I'm enjoying it thus far. I'm also reading Graveminder by Melissa Marr on my Nook. 

I recently read NOS4A2 by Joe Hill. He's a remarkable storyteller, but the book exhausted me!

 Dragon Mom just answered that Shadow Unit *was* based on Bureau 13. :-).
It's a secret unit that fights (mostly unnatural) evil. It uses both magic an science (and plenty of fire power). Among the unit members are priest, wizard, werewolf, vampire, and a shifter. It's more humor than horror (or depression, like Lukyanenko Watch series), probably politically incorrect with all that violence. As much as I understand, first there were computer games, then the books were written. There are four of them: Judgment Night, Full Moonster, Doomsday Exam and Damned Nation.

Actually, Bureau 13 was originally a table-top role-playing game, which is what the novels were based on.  The video game came  later.

I don't know how it actually was. As I said, I only saw a piece of one
episode. It looked promising, but not so much that I've searched it out
on rental. That could well have been laziness more than anything.

Several folks have said it was based on Nick Pollotta's Bureau 13 books.
I read the first of those years ago. I don't remember much about it in
detail, except that I think it seemed promsing and the introduction was
annoyingly self-congratulating. That's an old memory, so it may not be
quite as I remember.

Re: good books

Special Unit 2 was based on some Nick Pollotta books - tongue deeply in cheek variation of Men in Black

I'd not heard of Special Unit-2 until you mentioned it. We didn't get it over here. According to Wiki, it was a "short-lived, American sci-fi/comedy television series"

about a branch of the Chicago police "charged with the task to police the city's large population of mythological beings".

 Shadow Unit is probably more like Criminal Minds, but with science fiction elements.  It's not a comedy, although there can be comedic moments between the agents. Instead, there's an 'anomaly', which is some sort of yet-to-be-defined, mysterious infection or agent that turns humans into 'gammas' once it's manifested in the human host. Shadow Unit members are special FBI agents who specialise in solving crimes that seem unsolvable -- because they've been committed by these gammas, and the world doesn't realise they even exist.

That's the premise. 

Hmm. I see that Pauley Perrette was in season two of Special Unit-2. I wonder if Lovefilm has it to rent or if it's on You Tube. :)

I read some of those years and years ago. Those are quite good. There's a
road that crosses over the Washington DC's beltway that's called Darcy Rd.
Every time I drive under it I think of both Lord D'Arcy and Mr. Darcy.

Re: good books


Right now, I'm devouring Shadow Unit. I need to apologise to Elizabeth Bear for not reading it from the start. I'm late to the game, but I'm loving it. It's Emma Bull, Elizabeth Bear, Sarah Monette, Will Shetterly and others collaborating on their own invented paranormal detective TV show -- writing stories for a  TV show that never existed, Shadow Unit. And I'm liking it. They're available for eReaders or you can read them on-line: http://shadowunit.org/. 


Oh, I ADORE Shadow Unit!  I have the first "season" on Kindle.

Re: good books

Oh, I love this series, Bernard. I can't wait for Broken Homes next month. :)

There's another London urban fantasy series out now as well. Now that Mike Carey seems to have put a hold on the Felix Castor series, we have
the Alex Verus series by Benedict Jacka. Alex has been referred to as London's Dresden, but I think that's more Felix Castor. The Alex Verus books aren't quite as good, in my mind, as Butcher's nor Carey's, but they'll do for now and they do seem to improve with each one new. The next one, Chosen, is out  in September.

I'm also reading a non-genre book, The Other Typist.

I think we can cope with the extra activity.

I've recently read three books in a series written by a British author
Ben Aaronovitch. The series is called the Rivers of London and several
of London's rivers appear in the books. If you thought London only had
the Thames then read and learn. You will also learn a lot of London
geography including the overground, underground and underworld. The
protagonist is an apprentice wizard attached to London's Metropolitan
Police. The books are great fun, I'm not sure how much of that fun is
because I am a Londoner, though now transplanted.

The books so far are:

Rivers of London
Moon Over Soho
Whispers Underground
Broken Homes (which will be published next month.)

If you like the idea of forensic thaumaturgy also look out for the Lord
D'Arcy stories by Randall Garrett.

Wayne, you do know how to start a conversation....

I am currently reading Guy Gavriel Kay's newest book River of Stars, which is not-a-sequel to Under Heaven.  It's the same setting, just 400 years on.  The setting is a medieval pseudo-China, which is interesting.  Prior to that I read Jim C. Hines' Libriomancer, which was extremely entertaining; libriomancers can remove objects from books and use them.  Pretty cool magic system.

Other recent reading has included Envious Casca by Georgette Heyer, who I first heard of right here in TH.  Even though I'm a huge Jane Austen fan, I feel only so so about Heyer's Regencies (or maybe I just haven't read a spectacular one, yet), but I do love her mysteries. 

On deck, I have the rest of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, the most recent two novels in Mercedes Lackey's Elemental Mages series, Mistress of Heathcrest Hall, and one or two other...cases.  (Some people have stacks, some people have shelves; I have whole bookcases of books I haven't read.  What?)

good books

How's tricks, folks? I've read some excellent books lately that I thought
I'd share with y'all. I hope this doesn't interfere with all the other list
activity that's been happening lately.

First off, there's Kelly McCullough's "Bared Blade". This is the second
book in his Fallen Blade series. This is a fantasy series that doesn't fall
into the generic-medievalish-pseudo-western-european fantasy. If anything,
it has more of an East Asian feel to it, though I couldn't quantify why.

I was sorry to see McCullough's superb WebMage series come to a conclusion,
but this is an excellent follow-on. WebMage also ended well, so I'm not
really complaining about that.

A couple months ago I read Chris Randolph's two "Arcana Universalis"
novel-segments. They were a sort of mix of fantasy and space opera.
I really like these and I wish he'd g'head and finish the whole book.
This might be only available via Kindle.

I've also started re-reading EC Tubb's "Dumarest of Terra" books. I just
finished the third of the set. I read the first 15 when I was an early teen
and never finished the series. This is straight space opera, but there are
lots of elements in the series that show up in other books. I think these
were also inspiration for the "Traveller" RPG.

Currently, I'm reading Schwartz' "Gooseberry Bluff Community College" and
Malin's "Northwest Coast Indian Painting".
