  • Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve PART
    Mortal Engines By Phillip Reeve PART ONE 1 THE HUNTING GROUND It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea. In happier times, London would never have bothered with such feeble prey. The great Traction City had once spent its days hunting far bigger towns than this, ranging north as far as the edges of the Ice Waste and south to the shores of the Mediterranean. But lately prey of any kind had started to grow scarce, and some of the larger cities had begun to look hungrily at London. For ten years now it had been hiding from them, skulking in a damp, mountainous, western district which the Guild of Historians said had once been the island of Britain. For ten years it had eaten nothing but tiny farming towns and static settlements in those wet hills. Now, at last, the Lord Mayor had decided that the time was right to take his city back over the land-bridge into the Great Hunting Ground. It was barely halfway across when the look-outs on the high watch-towers spied the mining town, gnawing at the salt-flats twenty miles ahead. To the people of London it seemed like a sign from the gods, and even the Lord Mayor (who didn't believe in gods or signs) thought it was a good beginning to the journey east, and issued the order to give chase. The mining town saw the danger and turned tail, but already the huge caterpillar tracks under London were starting to roll faster and faster.

  • Proposed Firearms Ordinance Message
    Your name: Harwood Loomis Your e-mail address: [email protected] Subject: Proposed Firearms Ordinance Message: Please be advised that the anti-firearms ordinance you are contemplating is an unwarranted infringement on a constitutionally-guaranteed right, and it will not -- in fact, it cannot -- accomplish your intended goal. This is not a "Second Amendment:" issue -- this is far closer to home. Please review our State constitution. Article I, § 15 of the State constitution states: “Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself [or herself] and the state.” This provision has been in our State constitution without change since the State constitution was first adopted, in 1818. That's more than 200 years. By definition, criminals do not obey laws. A study of mass shootings in the United States will show that a very high percentage of them were carried out in places where firearms were prohibited. Enacting further restrictions on where law-abiding citizens are allowed to exercise their constitutional right to be armed for self-defense only infringes the rights of the law-abiding, while doing nothing to stop criminals who pay no attention to signs or ordinances. As a senior citizen and Vietnam veteran, I am not an any physical condition to resist a younger, stronger, faster, and potentially armed attacker. I own and carry a firearm because it is my best hope to protect myself against the possibility of an attack. Respectfully, I find it unconscionable that you would consider making it unlawful for me to possess the means for defending myself when I am in your town.

We will be contacting you to review the analysis and consult with you about free solutions to improve your collection. In the meantime, here is a summary of your analysis. In putting the analysis together, we first indicate the average age and number of titles in each part of your collection, then we compare it to a brand new "exemplary" collection that would meet size standards for the number of students in your school. You should then be able to see some of the potential problem areas in your collection and where the collection may fall short of standards. Obviously, what is exemplary for one school may not be completely right for another school, but this does give us a good starting point. You know better than we how your collection is used, so please adapt these recommendations as you see fit. The following summaries highlight the areas that seem the most in need of attention in the report on the next few pages. Please look at your report closely to determine detailed size, age and weeding needs. v With the information you supplied, we were able to successfully categorize 100% of your MARC records. v Throughout the collection, the average date of publication is 2006 or 15 years old. v The average age is 5 years older than recommended.
