HPL's History Program - Abe Lincoln in the 21st Century
On Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 3pm in the main auditorium, Huntington Public Library will celebrate one of America's greatest president's 200th birthday! We welcome David Houston, the popular and versatile actor, in this original portrait of our most literary president, Abraham Lincoln. The script is adapted from Lincoln's writings and speeches - which reveal a witty and wise statesman who speaks to us as if he lives today and understands our most pressing, confusing, and amusing concerns. You will be touched and enlightened by what you hear.
In addition to this wonderful program, visit the Abraham Lincoln display on the main floor in the periodical room. We will showcase unique items from the Mary Talmage Local History Collection. It will be on display throughout the month of February.

the Bad News:
It's 2009 and I weigh around 205 pounds. That's 25 pounds of fat want to lose and gain back some muscle mass.
the Good News:
For Christmas I got a new iPod Nano and the Nike+ kit! This has gotten me starting to run again. The iPod Mini has trickled down to the girlfriend. I got an armband and have been running a few times. Apple & Nike really have a neato system with this.
iTunes8 is a LOT less annoying than whatever previous version I was using which frustrated me. I've even subscribed to a few podcasts. It's really awesome how automagically new stuff gets plopped on your iPod. As I keep on saying, Apple is pricy, but its also a bit like living in the future.

January Ends
January....almost over! Happy Birthday to Mr. L, Karen M and Brandon D!!! I miss you all!
This month has been pretty interesting -- I have been living in a place with snow, which I have not done in about 12 years. It has been fun having it around, although sometimes one gets tired of the semi trucks who drive 70 mph in the middle of a snowstorm and then you pass them a couple miles later jackknived on the side of the road...and tired of trying to figure out things to do inside!! But, we have balanced this with a few snow days at work -- yes, SNOW DAYS!!!
Also, there has been a little bit of traveling in order to get away for the weekend -- I went to Mass, which was not really much warmer, but I got to spend time with Mr L's family (sorry, grandma!). We also went to Boston and took a very small road trip to Vermont, which was beautiful. The houses with their gables and dormers (I am learning about these...) really are postcard perfect, especially with snow on them, which there was.
Mr L and I also met in Memphis last weekend and had a great day exploring the city. Unfortunately, Mr L got sick on the second day and so we did not get a chance to go to Graceland and see Elvis. Ah, well, next time, I suppose.
This weekend is the Superbowl, which I suppose I may watch, but am not really very interested in... However, Dad is back! Hurray for the return of Dad!! So we will probably hang out inside somewhere...and why not a loud sports bar, right? (or my couch perhaps...)
Goodbye January...and now we are one more step closer to spring....
India Elections 2009 - electing member of Parliament
The 15th Lok Sabha Election of India is scheduled to be held by the month of May 2009. The maximum strength of Lok Sabha or the lower house of the Indian Parliament is 552, comprising 530 members who represent the States, up to 20 members who stand for the Union Territories and not more than 2 members from the Anglo-Indian Community who are nominated by the President.
The India Election 2009 will be contested on new constituency boundaries for the first time in over 30 years and the change was implemented on the findings of the Delimitation Commission.
Some of the major changes include merging of areas of various constituencies to eradicate population inconsistencies between different seats and reservation and de-reservation of seats. But, for the time being, the Government of India has postponed delimitation in the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, Manipur and Nagaland.
The National Democratic Alliance comprising the BJP and its allies officially elected L. K. Advani as their candidate for Prime Ministership for general election 2009 on January 23rd, 2008.
The Indian National Congress (INC) and its allies haven't officially announced their candidate for Prime Ministership for India Election 2009;

American born Indian Roshan ABCD(Abhishek Bachchan) brings his ailing grandmother (Waheeda Rahman) back to her former home in Chandni Chowk, the walled city of Old Delhi. He is pleased with the warm reception he gets from the neighbours, who treat him as family, except Bittu (Sonam Kapoor), the daughter of his neighbour (Om Puri as the patriarchal father). Bittu has a feeling of animosity towards him and calls him "burger chhaap". News of a primate nicknamed “Kala Bandar” or the black monkey, a miscreant in the neighbourhood, greets Roshan at the outset and keeps popping out of all news channels frequently. Roshan is intrigued by the Indian culture erstwhile unknown to him, when he witnesses the birth of a calf in the middle of a street. This causes a traffic bottleneck when he tries taking his stuporous grandmother to the hospital. The crowd refuses to vacate the road since cows are treated as sacred in India.
