Hmm...  No email received that there was an update.  Yesterday and today.  glitch?

Agreed, Mt_Rider.  I also suspect that the original was too limited.  The end of that linked page said another was under development for -multiple- strains.

Out_of_the_ordinary. Same for the LDA treatments.  Would such address the correct strain?  Can we identify the correct strain given the difficulty we are still having in the identification / detection of the disease?  Could it even work?  An allergy treatment for a disease?

Well, it is said that the start of wisdom is saying, "I do not know".

I am working through the update to the CountrySide and Small Stock Journal iLL ATOCI.

101/02/32.  (2017 March/April).

"A very effective Lyme disease vaccine was invented in the late 1900s, but is no longer available.  The vaccine manufacturer discontinued production in 2002, stating slow sales because of low consumer demand.  The protection provided by this vaccine worked similar to the tetanus vaccine, which diminishes over time and must be administered every 10 years."

Anyone know who was the manufacturer? 

Anything?

Encyclopedia of Essential Oils, 1972.  You can find the free 'exe wrapped pdf' version on the Librum's Reference page.

Here is the ATOCI (Ascii Table of Contents and Index)

Enjoy!

Posted due to private request.  It is that season when the ant hives send out the explorers.  Here is a good counter.  Take a cup of warm water, add 1/2 cup of sugar, and three table spoons of borax.  Soak cotton balls and place, wet, along the runs.  The ants will feast on the sugar, and take the borax back to the next, killing it from the inside.  When the ball is dry, toss it, and wipe with any counter top cleaner.

Admittedly an old topic, but wanted to add a trick.  If you get some inkjet foil labels, such as Avery, then mark your sockets and wrenches with the size.  And have a size chart, combined sae and metric.  Saves lots of time looking for this or that.

Anarchy, thanks for the clarification.  Is/was 'lingo'.  And I further confused it with a typo.  I should have typed:

"(presentation of 'key' required per packet or packet rejected)".

You understood, I think, thank you.

The emoticon search is clumsy, Better than before, so on 'plus' side.

Today, we had a bunch of Brownie scouts on tour come in.  I had no warning.  Too darn cute.  And some very good questions from them.  If these are example of the upcoming generations, then we will be O.K.  I got some good chuckles when the 'adult' leaders discovered the ongoing 'girl scout' project, where we are restoring all such old materials (Girl Scouts, BlueBirds, Camp Fire Girls, Woodscraft, etc.) in our archives.  They were waving money in the air!  The little ones were watching with looks of 'hoah!'  And I got several sensings of 'white lighting' from around Majere's old office.  He would have loved it.

Rain, and the Librum is quiet.  Good.  Getting some work done, with NO interference.  I am working through another index.  The History of Science, 1904 (four volumes also to be rescanned).  Then The Practical Educator, 1934, with 34 more volumes of that to digitize  .  (sigh smiley)

But spirits are up.  The Wilderness Way / Self Reliance Illustrated / Good Earth Almanac combined iLL will be publicly sold. 

   We done good!  Wish the price could come down more. 

And the CountrySide and Small Stock Journal iLL is now on eBay! 

(I could not find the 'sigh' smiley.)

Tomorrow, I will be working with the server people to try to get our site on a secure server.  Hopefully, that will take care of the warning once and for all.  I can hope.  

???  A 'secure' server?  I suspect a 'lingo' here.  You do need an 'ssl' or 'socket' to do https.  We had to do that with the old thelitterbox.org chat/forum/ftp server ($$ per month extra)(and a static ip number).   But I was not aware you had to have a secure server (also called 'dedicated')(presentation of 'key' or packets rejected).

Mobetta!

Today working through the SRI index.  SRI was a magazine.  Self Reliance Illustrated.  Actually pretty good.  I keep finding myself reading instead of indexing.  Have to be firm with myself.

Anarchy, can you at least make it a more 'pastel' color, a tan or beige?  Easier on the eyes.

The site warning is 'back', as Ambergris reported.  Not there yesterday.  But no 'unsecure' warning this time.  Could this be an SSL issue?. 

The iLL has been completed, and is in distribution.  I hope some of you ladies have access via your libraries.  Sarah

Trying by linkage... success.

We reload. Like TheCG. But in our case, we have to use special inks, like micr. Go to amazon/ebay and look for reloadable carts. You can get a set for less cost than a single cart. Ink, on ebay, is less than $20, Five refills. Just avoid true 'cis' and reload'ed'. You want the reload'able' ones.

Sorry, unable to upload pic

I want one...

Sinnng around the camp-fire! Joinnn the camp-fire girls!

Why do you have to dispose of them? Can you give them away or have a used book sale? Our library does that.

County level? Do you know what happens to those that do not sell? Disposal. This shipment is from a satellite county library. If yours has sales, and donations, you have one of the better ones. Please support them!

My 'button is pushed' again. Brace yourself, I am going to 'pull back the 'curtain'.

I *LOVE* 'hard' books. But today, archives are electronic. 'Bulk' / hard copy archives are history. Ditto microfilm/fiche/print. We may be the LAST library who still has film/fiche/print capabilities. We digitize such, and many libraries send such, but most simply destroy. A large part of this shipment is this type of media.

Ever visited 'Hathi Trust'? hathitrust.org. Pay a visit!

We, the Librum, are part of the 'end of the line'. We do the indexing, and take out what we want. These indexes are sent to a certain major university who is part of the Hathi Trust. They select from that list, and we digitize (which is often 'destructive', the work is 'deconstructed') . Then Hathi sends the index to the Library of Congress, for them to go over the index to pull out anything that was never deposited (usually magazines, often on film/fiche/print)(and again, we digitize.).

Please support your library. Especially if it is a 'full service'. We are a dying breed.

Admittedly our 'schooling' system is different. Ours is more of an amalgam between homeschooling and low-level community. We simply make the materials we can get our hands on available. The 'preparedness' is done in the home, not at the community level, we do not integrate. It causes too much 'hen opinion'. But having the materials makes if much better for the homeschooling portion. It seems to work.

Not going to be a good day. Multi semi truck shipment incoming. Pallet loads of materials from another library that is no more.

All that sorting and cataloging, salvage and 'disposal'. An emotional issue for me. Especially as I remember many of these from my childhood. For example: a complete set of the 'Campfire Girls' series (forerunner of the Girl Scouts).

Time to put on my 'big girl panties'.

Momo, you just pushed one of my buttons, sorry.

More than one group. One can buy 'subscription lists', which do seem darn complete from my 'undercover spot checks'. How they get these is anyone's guess, I still think it is the USPS. Anyway, they really are good at imitating the real publishers.

And some of the magazines play 'dirty' too.

In our case, as a library, we are especially targeted by these scammers, as they know we must keep our subscriptions current. All you can do is report the attempts to the publisher, but not much can legally be done.

And beware of 'library archive' sellers using the same gambits. These offer the decanted articles over a span of issues. These are USUALLY not legit.

There are legitimate ones, such as the LOC's iLL program, which we work with. One just has to do the homework, .

LOL .....on the phone with my mom and she just asked me that too, Homesteader. I do remember having the oil pan heaters when I lived in MN. But haven't heard or thot of them for a long time. Might be a consideration if the insane change in weather up here keeps on.

J. C. Whitney. They still carry the in-freeze-plug and the magnetic mount ones. Please don't ask me how I know.

??? I thought 'Infusion pumps' were all off the market, in favor of transdermal patches. Thank you Wormy, I am going to check this one out!

Speaking as a Librarian, Thank You Ladies. We have too many closing due to lack of use. Thank You.
