He, along with so many others, dared to speak out in the name of making their dreams become a reality, and succeeded in the transformation of America that still continues today. <br />

Though we have come a long way, we are all aware of the imperfections in our society and environment that still exist, and we face them every day. We have the power to change the world...it's up to us to make it happen.<br />
<br />
Whether it's a change you want to see in your local community, school, or the federal government, we all need to learn the skills associated with being an effective leader of change. We at UCC want to see you succeed, we want to see you make your dreams a reality. <br />
<br />
So come to the UCC library and see how great leaders did it in the past, or check out some books that can teach you the skills you need to be a driving force behind change. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Happiness & Personal Change!</span></b><br />
Many resolutions have, at their heart, some type of habit-shift: eating right, exercising more, stopping something or starting something else. At heart, we humans have an amazing capacity to learn, which is awesome, but changing our basic day-to-day activities is <i>hard.</i> Lots of psychologists have studied the best ways to increase happiness or make personal change-- check out their work in our collection!<br />

Maybe it's just me, but every few years I resolve that <i>this</i> will be the year I figure out how to grow something more ambitious than a bamboo cutting in a glass of water...and then a few months later my pot of herbs looks as wilted and floppy as a pancake. No more, my fellow "black thumb" gardeners! Let this be the year we throw off our shackles and eat a <i>tomato we grew ourselves. </i>Yes we can!<br />

<b>First Line</b>: "The Salinas Valley is in Northern California."<br />
<br />
<b>Interesting Fact</b>: "Years after her husband's death, Elaine Steinbeck went to a bookstore in Japan asking if they carried copies of <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i>. The owner was puzzled, not recognizing the title. "It's by John Steinbeck," she insisted. "Oh," said the owner, finally understanding her request. "You mean <i>The Angry Raisins</i>."

He wrote the first line of the book without having any notion of what a 'hobbit' was at the time. This anecdote suggests that if more students endeavoured to be succinct in essay exams, we might have more classics of literature." (<i><a href="http://umpqua.worldcat.org/oclc/50064985" target="_blank">Annotated Hobbit</a></i>, Sean Smith)<br />
<br />
"Tolkien was a codebreaker in World War II." (<a href="http://tolkiensociety.org/">tolkiensociety.org</a>)<br />
<br />
"<i>The Hobbit</i> was written for Tolkien's children. It was by luck that a person working for a publishing company came across it and then convinced Tolkien to publish the book, which Tolkien hadn't previously intended to do." (<a href="http://tolkiensociety.org/">tolkiensociety.org</a>)<br />
<br />
"Tolkien and his wife, Edith, are buried together in a single grave in the Catholic section of Wolvercote cemetery in the northern suburbs of Oxford. The headstone reads: 'Edith Mary Tolkien, Luthien, 1889-1971' and 'John Ronald Reul Tolkien, Beren, 1892-1973.' The character names are from <i>The Silmarillion</i>.

Happy Holidays, and may all your reads be good ones!UCC Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01174499021875822425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3700014576261990824.post-30040729508931939952013-11-21T16:41:00.000-08:002013-11-21T16:41:24.887-08:00Thanksgiving Yum YumsThanksgiving's coming up and we all know what that means...sitting on the couch after a delicious meal that lasts a couple hours...getting together with family that you really love, or maybe don't so much...dishes...and a MUCH needed break from school. <br />
<br />
Now I don't know about you, but I always enjoy trying at least one new recipe. You have a table full of willing participants for the experiment so, why not? I've been looking through our cookbooks and I thought: some of these recipes cannot go hidden any longer. When you see them, I imagine your mouth will begin to water as mine did, and you'll need a mop to wipe up the mess.<br />
<br />
From a neat book called One-Pot Meals with recipes that can all be accomplished in...you guessed it...one pot! That makes it nice if you're looking for ways to eliminate dishes. On page 172, you'll find this: <br />
<br />

This sounded like a D E L I C I O U S side with a healthy dose of calcium, iron, and potassium. (It's important that we stay healthy too, right?) But then again I'm a sucker for sweet potato so don't take my word for it...</div>
<br />
For all you folks growing your food locally, I have two things to say. For one, props to you; growing fresh fruit and vegetables is an excellent way to save money, stay healthy, and appreciate the land we live on. Second, you may find this book invaluable during the holidays or any time you feel like trying something new...<br />

My favorite recipe from this one has got to be the Gerber's Porcini Panini with Teleme and Caramelized Onions (I can't pronounce the name but boy does it look good), page 186.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>November is <a href="http://nanowrimo.org/" target="_blank">National Novel Writing Month</a>, and in order to write the next great bestseller, you need some imagination and creativity! This week, Aria, one of the library's lab aides, discusses creativity, imagination, and how sometimes spacing out is more than just a 1000-yard stare:</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Imagination is what all great authors need. It allows a person to go to experience another world, beyond our own. As a frequent user of imagination, I can't bear the thought of not having one. I've fallen in love with the colorful world of my mind, and I plan on using a great deal of it for my writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTio1RNy1D_26sU39VkUsnm9jPZo-3NAI-fyVdjSZGtkD8iUqi1MJZT0R-cF5qqNZYq1s02s46kzssUh9FKTcYW1GOIdes7s_sGiyiqpW4AXb_CmOsQSWWbAz1U6b57lYyBMFRwH4f/s1600/Beautiful-Example-Of-Imagination-Wallpapers-unleashed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTio1RNy1D_26sU39VkUsnm9jPZo-3NAI-fyVdjSZGtkD8iUqi1MJZT0R-cF5qqNZYq1s02s46kzssUh9FKTcYW1GOIdes7s_sGiyiqpW4AXb_CmOsQSWWbAz1U6b57lYyBMFRwH4f/s320/Beautiful-Example-Of-Imagination-Wallpapers-unleashed.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First off, let me explain why I bother to talk about imagination. I have Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism that makes me think differently than a normal human. I am quite introverted, although many people will think the opposite if they meet me in person, and I have a huge imagination. If you ask me what I'm thinking of when I'm staring off into the distance, I'd probably tell you a detailed story of something I made up for a book or a piece of poetry. Aspergers Syndrome makes me give up the natural ability to socialize for the ability to be a god in my imagination.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now you might think that my odd syndrome is unusual for someone like me. But some of the greatest minds and authors of our race probably had Aspergers Syndrome. Here is a list:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Bill Gates</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Isaac Newton</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Jane Austen</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">George Orwell</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Woody Allen</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Mark Twain</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Thomas Jefferson</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Imagination is the key to creating things from books to new technology we use in our everyday lives. We rely on people who think differently to solve problems the average Joe couldn't. The person that you might think of as strange or different might be the person who cures cancer. So the next time you see someone that you think is strange looking off into the distance, try to imagine what they're thinking of. Maybe they're escaping their everyday lives by looking through the eyes of a dragon, or even a giant squid. Or maybe they're thinking of nothing and just like the color of the wallpaper. Although they may be different, the beauty of their imagination magnificent. Just like the authors that write the books for everyone to enjoy and read at the UCC library.<br />

First, you're going to want to pick up a form from the front desk. All you have to do is give us your first name, student ID#, and contact information. Then, tell us the first line of a favorite book, the title of the book, its author, and an interesting fact related to the first line or the author of the book. Lastly, because we're librarians and we get to be picky about things like this, cite your source!</div>

Winners will be randomly drawn, so may the luckiest student win!<br />

If you haven't, you've probably heard about how frustrating it is from other students. <br />
<br />
We're working out some kinks right now, and slowly but surely, we're hopefully easing your frustrations. <br />

For now, no one is getting charged for any print jobs...so don't feel outraged when you think you're being charged 5.00$ for your print job. If you look below the "Account Summary", you'll find the "Transaction Summary" where it will say 0.00$. That is what's being 'charged' to your account. <br />
<br />
Another thing we'd like you to remember is to log out of your account once you're done printing. For now, you have an unlimited number of pages to print for free. In the future, you will only be limited a certain number of pages to print for free before you begin getting charged. It's a good idea to get into the habit now of signing out so others don't use your account.<br />
<br />
Bear with us UCC! Soon, coming to the lab will return to being a relatively painless process. :)<br />

Does hip hop cause violence, or is it just "keepin' it real"? What about the growing commercialization of the hip hop and rap genre? Are there ways that rap lyrics actually represent poetry for a new age? These and other questions are examined in this companion to hip hop and rap music.<br />

Luckily for us, it's takes some time for the bug to travel westward from the areas it's hitting most, like New York and Pennsylvania, where flu shots have sold out in many areas. CNN says we are actually on our way to a "flu epidemic" this year, with the virus showing up even earlier and with more severe symptoms than the past few years.<br />
<br />
You can find many ebooks online about the flu and how to treat your kids right from your computer at home. Go to ucclibrary.com and click on the link labeled "Academic search + eBooks", it'll take you to the website. Just type in any key words and it will bring up a variety for you to choose from, from the history of flu to trends and things you should know.<br />

Flu shots are available at a multitude of places like Walgreens, but there are some other ways to keep you from getting sick! Getting the flu is bad, getting over the flu is much worse.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Some things you can begin doing now to build up your best defense, your immune system, is to make sure it's getting the right nutrients. Supplements are great but it's way more beneficial to get Vitamin C and other vitamins from your food. Most medical professionals say that eating only 2 1/2 cups of fruit and vegetables a day is plenty!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's important to keep your body in balance during this time so it has all the strength it needs to ward off unwanted visitors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some fruits that have high amounts of Vitamin C include:
</div>
<ul style="color: #e69138;">
<li>Cantaloupe</li>
<li>Kiwi fruit</li>
<li>Mango</li>
<li>Papaya</li>
<li>Pineapple</li>
<li>Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries</li>
<li>Watermelon</li>
</ul>
Vegetables that have the highest amounts of vitamin C include:
<br />
<ul style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<li>Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower</li>
<li>Green and red peppers</li>
<li>Spinach and other leafy greens</li>
<li>Sweet and white potatoes</li>
<li>Tomatoes and tomato juice</li>
<li>Winter squash</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure you're getting full sleep and drinking lots of water to keep your body hydrated. Try to keep warm and dry and most importantly-- relax :) Stress really brings down your body's ability to fight any sort of sickness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Missing school or work is not much of an option for many of us, and it's even worse to spread it around. You can stay contagious for up to 5 days after experiencing your first symptoms, so wash your hands and try to stay away from this: !</div>

Where do you even begin?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9vJATblbPiYBp45d96TWCkMxgBA__hM0zhKXMPgWdna94g-v1Z8ssY-8fO2sMbCHVU5TxQ66AgS4Xo9qjPLukcG-cM5vOwkG9wYJGwKz8NUgKwmc2mdU1UgXHakMSZk9WeCdIFdA3D-o/s1600/catalogue.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9vJATblbPiYBp45d96TWCkMxgBA__hM0zhKXMPgWdna94g-v1Z8ssY-8fO2sMbCHVU5TxQ66AgS4Xo9qjPLukcG-cM5vOwkG9wYJGwKz8NUgKwmc2mdU1UgXHakMSZk9WeCdIFdA3D-o/s200/catalogue.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
Here's where. If you're looking for a book with a particular subject, title, author, or have a keyword in mind it's probably best to make use of the 4 computers next to the main desk where you'll find the librarie's catalogue. Click on the icon for Internet Explorer, and it will direct you straight to the catalogue. Just type in what you know and it will pop out all the results matching your criteria!<br />
<br />
Once you find the one or few you're looking for, write down the numbers associated with the book along with the letters that come after it and the title in case you have some trouble weeding through numbers. <br />
Then...make your way to the back of the library where you'll find many, many shelves with numbers taped along the ends.<br />
<br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No need to worry, you have a map in your hands. In this picture, the shelf to the right will have all books between 000 and 153 (above right). The shelf to the left will have all books from 305 to 330. And what about all the numbers in between 153 and 305 ? They're down there, but on the next set of shelves further in the back. Go down the aisles until you find the area where your book should be. If there are numbers after a decimal point, this will tell you more specifically where your book is.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">For example</span>, if you wrote down a book with the number 005.4476 T <u>Ubuntu Linux</u>, you'll go to the side that has this number (000-153). You'll then go down the aisle until you see 005's. Then the decimal numbers start and you keep going, 005.133...005.276...005.369...and they continue in increasing order like that until you find 005. 4476. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, you look at the letter associated with the number. From here, the letters go in alphabetical order of the<strong> same number. </strong>Once you get into a new number, the alphabet starts all over again.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">So continuing with our example</span>, you're trying to find 005.4476 T <u>Ubuntu Linux</u>. Travel down the rows of books (I like to use a finger so my eyes don't go funny looking at all itty bitty numbers), and you'll see 005.4476 B...005.4476 L...005.4476 S...and finally arrive at 005.4476 T! </div>

Sometimes, there will be multiple books with the exact same number <em>and</em> letter. This is why I suggest writing down the title of your selection just in case.</div>

Traditionally the holidays are a time for kicking back and gaining a few pounds. But there IS an easy way to feast without the fat. You can find a ton of tasty meals that will leave you craving for more in the many cook books available here in the Library. <br />
Try something a little different this year, something delicious that won't leave you feeling guilty.<br />
You might not be able to give up Grandma's baked Macaroni and Cheese or deep fried turkey, but it's a good idea to add one or two dishes to give yourself some variety, and maybe to start a few traditions of your own.<br />
If you're not looking to add any recipes of your own, there are also a few easy substitutions you can add to your cooking to reduce fat, cholesterol, and maybe even sneak in some vitamins. :) <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> Instead of white or powdered sugar, try using honey, brown sugar, applesauce, or molases.</li>
<li> Use whole wheat all-purpose flour instead of white.</li>
<li> Substitute brown rice for white.</li>
<li> Try a variety of beans instead of just one type, like kidney, white, and black.</li>
<li> Olive oil for cooking instead of butter.</li>
<li> Find some whole wheat pasta to replace regular pasta.</li>
<li> Ground turkey is a tasty substitute for beef, or go half and half for real flavor.</li>
</ul>
<br />
You can find all kinds of cook books in the 640 section of the UCC library, from healthy to international cooking. Here are just a few featuring delicious and nutritious recipes.<br />
<br />
