Summary: Roy Eberhardt is the new kid at Trace Middle School in Coconut Grove, Florida. He has no friends, sits at the lunch table by himself, and is teased by a bully named Dana Matherson. One day, as Roy’s face is being pressed against the school bus window by Dana, Roy sees a boy running which sets off a whole series of events. Eventually, Roy finds himself smack dab in the middle of a controversial new construction project for the next Mother Paula’s All-American Pancake House, which is scheduled to be built on top of a parliament of protected burrowing owls. Who is sabotaging the construction site by pulling up the survey markets, spray-painting the windows of the police car as the policeman sleeps inside, and putting alligators in the portable bathrooms? And where does Mullet Fingers fit into all of this? Can the owls be saved before they are flattened by a pancake house?
What you should know before middle school kids read this book: This is a famous book which middle school kids (and adults) have enjoyed for years. The publication date really doesn’t matter because today’s kids will still immensely enjoy Hoot. It’s a funny book filled with odd characters and weird adults and strange behaviors. The setting of the story is Florida, but the situation could take place in any state in the country.
Why middle school kids should read this book: Kids will cheer on the small burrowing owls as they work to stave themselves off from extinction at the hands of Mother Paula’s All-American Pancake House and kids will also boo and hiss the greedy adults who know the owls are a protected species but don’t want anyone to find out they exist before it’s too late. There are memorable characters in this novel—both adult and kid, which make for a very interesting and funny read.
Discussion points with kids:
- Find two funny scenes in the book. Why are they funny? Try to be as specific as possible.
- Why does the author use Mullet Fingers as the hero of the “save the owls” quest? Why doesn’t he use a scientist from the local university to lobby on behalf of the owls?
- Research the owls in this book. Where do they live and what do they eat? Are they really endangered? Why are they endangered?
- Tell the story out loud to someone else. Try to remember as many of the important scenes as you can.
- What is the relationship between the construction foreman, Curly, his boss, Chuck Muckle, and police officer Delinko?
Overall evaluation of this book: A fun and entertaining frolic in the state of Florida. Five Stars ★★★★★
Summary: Greg Heffley is a new sixth grade student and he is terrified of being one of the smallest kids in a building ruled by what he sees as bigger and meaner kids. His mother buys him a diary, over his objections, but Gregory diligently records his daily thoughts in his new diary, along with sketches—or doodles—of what he experiences. As Greg’s diary progresses, he recounts his experiences with his best friend, Rowley and the nerd of the sixth grade—a small wisp of a kid named Fregley—someone Greg does his best to avoid—unless it is in Greg’s best interest. Along the way, Greg encounters bullies, the school play, girls who warrant his attention and those who don’t, major holidays such as Halloween, school bus rides, p.e. class, holiday presents which go to the wrong individuals, the politics of the school safety patrol, and his version of how he fits in on the school popularity index—at one point he estimates he is currently about 52nd or 53rd on the list.
What you should know before middle school kids read this book: This story will never be confused with other books that are considered as “classics” of middle school literature, such as Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer, The Red Pony, or Little Women. However, kids will read this book—and others in the series—voraciously and with great enthusiasm. The author has done a remarkable job of imagining what goes through the head of sixth graders and his accompanying drawings—which will never be considered as “real art” by high-brow aficionados. This book will be better received by kids who are in the lower middle school grades. Ninth graders will try to disguise the fact they are reading this book from their peers.
Why middle school kids should read this book: If kids love sarcasm, irony, and they have a droll sense of humor, Diary of a Wimpy Kid will be really funny to them. If, however, they tend to take the printed word at face value and struggle with the types of humor listed in the preceding line, this book will never make their “Top Ten” list, unless it happens to be their “Bottom Ten List.” This is the kind of book you let kids read to fully develop their sense of humor. It’s not Shakespeare, but how do we know young Shakespeare didn’t start with raw sketches and worrying about things like his social ranking while attending school in Stratford-upon-Avon in merry old England? If kids don’t like to read or have below grade level reading skills, this is a good pick for them because lots of kids read the books in this series. Consequently, they won’t have to worry about being spotted by their peers as reading “baby books.”
Discussion points with kids:
- Do you know any kids in your school who are like Greg Heffley? How are they similar to Greg? Have they had any incidents similar to those written about by Greg in his diary?
- Using Diary of a Wimpy Kid as the model or example, keep your own diary for one week, complete with drawings and sketches.
- What makes this book so funny? Find three examples from the book of things you found really funny. If you didn’t find this book to be very funny, find three examples from the book of things you didn’t find very funny.
- Greg wants to be popular in his school. What does he attempt, or try to accomplish, in order to be popular?
- Identify five words which describe Greg’s type of humor. Find one example from the book for each word you use to describe his humor.
Overall evaluation of this book: A fun graphic novel kids will breeze through with little difficulty. Five Stars ★★★★★
Summary: Despite a terrible accident which killed his immediate family and left him paralyzed from the waist down, Jamie has dreams of becoming a standup comedian—even though he really can’t “standup” because he is confined to a wheelchair. Along his journey to fulfill his dream, Jamie encounters an adoptive family who doesn’t appear to have a funny bone anywhere in their skeletal system, a bully who throws him out of his wheelchair and over the side of the railing, an inquisitive girl who wonders how he goes to the bathroom, an strange but supportive uncle who keeps encouraging Jamie, and teachers who don’t appreciate his one-liners in class. In the end, Jamie must battle his fears on stage and find out whether or not he has what it takes to be a professional comedian.
What you should know before middle school kids read this book: This is a funny book which is filled with one-liners, which means that after kids are finished with the book, you will almost certainly be the recipient of lots of jokes for at least a day or two. The jokes are clean and the book is filled with illustrations that will delight kids. There are references to comedians—such as George Carlin—which kids may not recognize, but a short internet search will solve that problem.
Why middle school kids should read this book: What I especially liked about this book is not the humor—there’s a lot of it—or the setting—Long Island, New York—but that the story is told from the point of view of someone who is confined to a wheelchair. The situations Jamie finds himself in and his viewpoint on things like how people feel sorry for the handicapped and treat him differently, is worth the price of admission to this book.
Discussion points with kids:
- How do the illustrations and pictures in the book help Patterson move the story along?
- What were the best jokes in the book?
- Jamie is paralyzed from the waist down and must use a wheelchair. How should you treat someone who is handicapped? Should you treat them differently from other kids? Why or why not?
- At one point in the book, Jamie uses private information and makes fun of people he knows. This helps him win the comedian award. But what about his friends? Do most friends like being the butt of jokes? What about you? How else could Jamie have handled the situation?
Overall evaluation of this book: A very fast read but probably a better fit for younger middle school kids. Four Stars ★★★★
Summary: This book follows the adventure of Rafe, a newbie to middle school who is determined, by the end of the year, to break every school rule. As you might expect, he has all sorts of adventures in his determination to accomplish his goal, including setting off fire alarms, getting into a fight, being tardy to class, not doing his homework, and being the class clown. Rafe uses a point system to determine the extent of his rule breaking prowess. For example, being tardy to class is worth 7,500 points while using a scooter outside designated areas is worth a whopping 20,000 points. Along the way he encounters infatuation with a girl who wants to help him with his problems, unhelpful advice from his friend, and a bully who torments him on a regular basis. (But don’t worry, the bully eventually gets his comeuppance.) Rafe is also beset by problems at home. His mother has a lazy boyfriend who hangs around the house, causing his mother to work extra hard, trying to keep the family afloat. Of course, Rafe doesn’t like his mother’s boyfriend and does what he can to drive a wedge between his mother and the irresponsible boyfriend. After an ugly incident, however, the situation is resolved and the waste-of-a-boyfriend is sent packing.
What you should know before middle school kids read this book: The story is very funny but if you (or your child or class) can’t see the humor in what has to be the fantasy of nearly every middle schooler—to poke fun at all the rules in a school—then you aren’t going to like this book. There is no swearing but there are allusions to the use of swear words. There are several scenes involving some violence—one is serious but the others are muted and avoid many of the details.
Why middle school kids should read this book: It’s a funny book and very well-done. The inclusion of numerous pictures and diagrams and sketches add to the humor. The book has a serious undertone with the mother and her abusive boyfriend which some kids will be able to relate to. In the end, the story is about redemption for Rafe and the events which lead him to a more promising outcome for his unusual talents. This is one of those books that kids who would never dare of breaking school rules will like to read because of the audacity of Rafe, who flouts the school rules on a regular basis. He does and says what most kids would not ever say to the teacher but it is all in good fun and nobody is hurt by Rafe’s actions, even though his mother becomes increasingly frustrated with him.
Discussion points with kids:
- What is the purpose of a school having rules?
- What would happen to you if you broke the same rules Rafe broke
- Rafe encounters a bully. What are some effective strategies for dealing with bullies?
- How do you know the difference between knowing when you should follow the rules and knowing when the rules can bend a little?
- What is an abusive relationship and what should you do when you know someone is involved in an abusive relationship?
Overall evaluation of this book: This book is excellent and funny, though better suited for the lower grades levels of middle school. It’s a fast read and the sketches and drawings fit in well with the story line. Four Stars ★★★★
Summary: A young boy is sent to live with his relatives on a farm in rural Minnesota. There he meets his cousin, Harris, who is rude, crude, lewd, and a barrel full of fun. Harris will try anything—or at least attempt to talk his visiting cousin into trying anything. (Many times he succeeds.) As you can imagine, what happens on the farm is what generally happens whenever two young boys are left to themselves, without adult supervision. The boys blow up a frog, fight an attacking rooster, try to unsuccessfully ride a pig, trap mice, hide “dourty peectures,” swing on a rope in the barn, shoot at the family Lynx and get their just rewards, get bucked off a horse, make the mistake of attaching a washing machine motor to a bicycle, and learn about the principals of electricity along the fence line. In other words, one misadventure follows another misadventure which begets another plan which inevitably goes awry.
What you should know before middle school kids read this book: There is swearing in the book and kids may find some of the scenes revolting. The setting of the book is on a farm and the two young boys are left pretty much to themselves much of the time so you can use your imagination as to what some of the revolting scenes may be. If you only want kids reading “G” rated books, you should skip this one.
Why middle school kids should read this book: If you don’t mind a little bit of swearing and some risqué scenes—there is no sex in the book but there are some French postcards with exposed flesh, and a scene involving urination and an electric fence—but if you and your kids can get past these events—the book is really funny. It’s a realistic tale of what may happen on a farm when two boys have too much time on their hands. Anyone who has grown up on a farm or a farming community will resonate with this one. If your kids haven’t been on a farm, and you don’t mind having them read some “edgy stuff” this could be their ticket to a few belly laughs.
Discussion points with kids:
- How does the setting add to the humor of the story?
- There is some swearing and “edgy stuff” in this book. Do you think it adds or detracts to the story? Why or why not?
- Imagine you get to spend the summer on a farm. What do you think you would do? What would you explore?
- Gary Paulson places the setting of this story sometime in the early to mid-1950’s. How would the story be different if the setting had been in modern times? How would it be the same?
Overall evaluation of this book: A really funny and engaging book set in the days before modern farming techniques. But this story is not for the squeamish or prude. Five Stars ★★★★★
Summary: Joey and his younger sister have been banished from their hometown of Chicago to live in a small town in Illinois with their eccentric grandmother who turns out to be a handful. Sometimes Joey can’t tell whether his grandmother is telling the truth or whether she is telling tall tales. But whatever grandmother is saying, she is also a woman of action and soon Joey is swept up in Grandma’s adventures in righting the wrong and making fun of people who put on “airs.” Most of the book covers Grandma’s outlandish outings and no one is safe from her plots and plans, including bankers, sheriffs, and teenagers.
What you should know before middle school kids read this book: Kids may initially not be willing to read this book for two reasons. First, the story takes place primarily in a rural setting—and kids aren’t sometimes thrilled about reading these books, especially if they haven’t had much contact with the rural countryside, and second, because the book has been around for a while and has lost the lure of having been recently published.
Why middle school kids should read this book: This is a really funny book and you don’t want kids to miss the adventures of Joey and Grandma Dowdel. Grandma is a hoot and doesn’t care what people think of her. She is also out of control and everything a kid wants in a reckless older member of the family. Probably a bit more suited for younger middle age students, but many older kids have loved reading this book.
Discussion points with kids:
- How does the setting, in a rural town in the 1930’s, add to the humor?
- What would life really be like living with someone like Grandma Dowdel? Could you do it? Why or why not?
- This book is in some ways a satire on small town living. What examples of satire can you find? Do you know of any examples of satire you encounter in your life? (Note: If you don’t know what satire is—look it up.)
- This book has lots of stories which are funny—but there are not very many jokes in the novel. How does the author make the stories funny without telling jokes?
Overall evaluation of this book: This book is short and sweet but oh so good. Five Stars ★★★★★
Summary: Mary Alice, a 15-year-old girl, is back visiting the eccentric and outrageous Grandma Dowdel—only this time she has to stay with her for an entire year. Mary Alice is soon swept up as an accomplice in Grandma’s plots and deceptions. To say that Grandma Dowdel is a highly opinionated woman is putting it mildly. No one in town is safe from Grandma as she meddles with the townsfolk and those who live around the small municipality.
What you should know before middle school kids read this book: This is a follow-up book to A Long Way to Chicago, which chronicles the early adventures of Grandma Dowdel. It’s not critical that kids have read the first book but neither would it hurt. In both books, the themes, style, and humor are similar. In other words, they are both really good books. The books maybe better suited for younger middle school kids but I wouldn’t ignore the fact that many older middle schools kids have also loved reading this book. The book—and its companion—are great for reading aloud, so don’t be bashful about turning off the electronics and having a good old fashioned family or class read-aloud.
Why middle school kids should read this book: This novel is a good example of how stories can be written without using profanity and gore—and still carry a punch which resonates with middle school kids. If kids have designs on being a good storyteller, they can learn much by reading this book—and its companion—several times.
Discussion points with kids:
- Why do the kids initially think Mary Alice is the rich girl from the big city? If you lived in a small town, how might someone from a large city appear if they suddenly moved into your town? Likewise, if you lived in a large, urban city, how might someone from a small town appear if they suddenly moved into your city?
- Write a short story about something funny or humorous about your family. Read it out loud when you are finished.
- Guess what Grandma Dowdel was like when she was middle school aged. Describe her as if she lived in your neighborhood.
- Imagine yourself living next to someone like Grandma Dowdel. What would life in the neighborhood be like?
- Do you know anyone like Grandma Dowdel? How are they like her?
Overall evaluation of this book: A rollicking good story. The pages fly by. If you don’t laugh or smile occasionally, then you probably aren’t human. Five Stars ★★★★★


We spend 50 to 75 percent of our waking hours and 60 to 90 percent of the years of our lives working. Yet many of us never invest even a fraction of that time exploring the vision that drives our lives and work.
We've lost the framework in which it is understood that our lives and work are in relationship - in relationship to God through worship, to others through service, and to creation through stewardship. Our lives and work have largely been separated from their mission, and this ultimately stems from a loss of the biblical worldview.
LifeWork lays out the thought background for each of us to establish a meaningful, integrated understanding of our life and work. Whatever our work or vocation, God calls each of us to a new way of living - fully in His presence.
In this follow-up book to Discipling Nations, Darrow Miller helps us - that is, every Christian - to reconnect our lives and work, our LifeWork, with God's plan for individuals, communities, and nations. This is a carefully researched, down-to-earth, life-altering book that every Christian should read.
"LifeWork enlarges vision and passion for taking up our high calling of culture making, joining King Jesus on His mission of healing our broken planet."
- Amy L. Sherman, director, Center on Faith in Communities
"Having worked among the poorest of the poor, Darrow Miller has credibility when he writes about the sources of poverty. With his characteristic thoroughness and gentleness, he builds a case for the worldview basis of work and wealth creation."
- Nancy Pearcey, author of Total Truth

More mentally strong and I feel like I can actually do this unlike prior failures to get my weight under control. I figured that by sharing the books that have influenced me so far, might help a few of you. I get most of books in Kindle eBook version on Amazon but I linked these to paperback version for interested members. Happy reading!

Joanna Poppink MFT (Author)

She shares her personal struggles with bulimia, along with stories from a wide-range of clients she has counseled.

Healing Your Hungry Heart offers a step-by-step program that identifies:
* Early warning signs
* Challenges to early recovery

From the First Bite: A Complete Guide to Recovery from Food Addiction
Kay Sheppard (Author)
Renowned therapist, eating disorder specialist and recovering food addict Kay Sheppard helps countless individuals win their battles over food addiction-people for whom diets, pills and purging have become a way of life. In 1993, her groundbreaking book, Food Addiction: The Body Knows, explained the illness of food addiction from the physiological origins through recovery. Today, obesity is on the rise. In addition to the 300,000 overweight people in this country, millions more who may not look overweight are unable to control their eating. Sheppard’s follow-up book, From the First Biteoffers the latest medical insights into food addiction coupled with time-tested, practical advice. Unlike other books that are very dry in nature, this book includes compelling personal stories and do’s and don’ts from other recovering and relapsed food addicts, including the author herself, who began her own recovery in 1967. The book explains how to avoid the physiological and situational triggers that lead to relapse; how to confront the emotional issues behind food cravings; how to establish a balanced food plan that eliminates cravings; and how to avoid hidden dangers in cleverly packaged foods. The book also includes a handy Twelve-Step workbook. Just as Sheppard’s first book broke new ground, her latest work offers a critical first step for food addicts on the road to physical, emotional and spiritual recovery.
Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever
Roger Gould (Author)
Emotional eating is by far the most common cause of weight gain. As you’ll learn in Shrink Yourself, all the diets, exercise regimens, and surgical procedures in the world will not free you from this vicious cycle. Why? Because they don’t address your reasons for overeating. Shrink Yourself, a supportive, unique, and ground-breaking guide written by a world-renowned therapist who has helped thousands of people lose weight and keep it off, gets to the heart of the problem. Shrink Yourself gives you the equivalent of eight expensive sessions with the best weight-loss therapist in the world for the price of a single book. Yo-yo dieting is an endless cycle. You diet and lose weight. Then you eat “comfort food”—that piece of cake, huge bowl of ice cream, or enormous bag of potato chips you devour to smother your feelings of fear, anxiety, stress, anger, boredom, loneliness, frustration, or so many other feelings. The comfort doesn’t last long. Soon you feel guilty for breaking your diet, so you displace the guilt with another helping. Before long, you’re unpacking your fat clothes again and berating yourself for your lack of willpower. Then, warily, you contemplate the next diet. With Shrink Yourself, renowned psychiatrist and emotional eating expert Dr. Roger Gould offers the first step-by-step analysis of the connection between eating and emotion. Dr. Gould explains why the connection is so powerful and shows you how to break the emotional eating cycle, shed all your excess pounds, and keep them off for good. Based on Dr. Gould’s unique method and his work involving more than twenty thousand people, this revolutionary eight-session program reveals that your uncontrollable hunger is connected to feelings of powerlessness in your life. You’ll discover the five layers of powerlessness and you’ll learn how to recognize and cope with each of them by:
Conquering the feeling phobia
Waking up from the food trance
Challenging your self-doubts
Defeating your defeatism
Creating real safety
Dealing positively with anger

Teachers, librarians & youth group leaders from around the country have enjoyed Cherie & Dave's performances here are just some the rave reviews they've received.
This was an amazing, outstanding program. From the moment they walked in to begin setting up, they were in character and had me smiling! The children were a captive audience; they loved being that close to real, live clowns. The show was well thought-out, timed and staged for short attention spans. The audience's attention was held the entire time, laughter was abundant, and the children were smiling from ear to ear as they walked out the door. I couldn't thank the performers enough; also, thank you for your part as well. This was a fantastic event, and I hope we will see it again in the near future.

I just want to thank you so much. I have been at the library for five years and have booked many performers. This was by far the best. The teachers called to say how much they loved the show. They would like to send thank you notes to the clowns. Is there an address I can give them? I would love to work with you guys again. It truly was a great show and the children did not stop laughing. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
Perry Co. Public Library
My name is Marsha Walker & I am the Assistant Director of the FRYSC with the Hazard Independent School System. I was contacted by our Jennifer Young, Children’s Librarian at the Public Library, inviting us to watch the Ringling Brothers & Barnum Bailey clowns interpret If I Ran the Circus in honor of Dr. Suess’ birthday. You have my sincerest thanks for providing such a wonderful activity for our Kindergarten students & our staff! Our children were mesmerized by the performance of the clowns & they are still talking about it (so are their teachers)!!
The response was so complimentary, we are interested in having the performance for all of our students next year.
Thank you again,
Placitas Community Library
The clown performance on July 19 at our library was absolutely delightful and professional. The children giggled and laughed and had the best time and so did the adults. We are so glad you contacted us and hope that we can do this again sometime.
Thank you again for one of our best summer reading sessions.
Children’s Program Coordinator
Dave and Cherie were FABULOUS! Thank you so much for contacting us and making the event happen. The belly laughs from the audience were heart-warming and your ambassadors make sure everyone had a good time. They were patient, kind and most of all funny, funny, funny!
We would love to host them again in the future!
Happy Reading, Lora
Subject: Performance at Perry County Library
I would just like to thank you for the wonderful performance at the library in Hazard, Ky. The Hazard Independent Kindergarten had the pleasure of seeing your show. It was amazing. The children were continually entertained as was I. Not only did it expand on Read Across America, it also brought children to the library and enforced the idea of a place of learning and fun. I am so grateful to have experienced your show. The performers were amazing and the children loved them.
Thank you again.
Jillian, The Ambassadors of Laughter just left the school and our children had an absolutely wonderful time. It was one of the most entertaining activities we've had for the students at the Arkansas School for the Blindand Visually Impaired. The children and teachers were thrilled (as were the administrators). Cherie and Dave are phenomenal and it was uncanny the way they were able to perform and explain what they were doing at the same time. Generally people who aren't familiar with blindness and low vision don't realize that all you have to do is explain what's going on and it's entertaining to the children. Not one of our students was frightened by the clowns and all of the children stayed entertained throughout the entire performance. Cherie and Dave allowed each child to come up and feel their shoes, hair and costumes which made it fantastic for those who have extremely limited or no vision. I just can't thank you enough for thinking of us. Thank you, thank you, thank you and God Bless you for sending Cherie and Dave to perform at our school.
Sharon Berry, Principal
Dave and Cherie were fantastic! I thank them for an exciting time enjoyed by all. They were very accommodating of the much bigger group than we had initially anticipated - nearly 500 attended the performance! They could not have been nicer or more professional. Thanks to you, Dave and Cherie for a terrific event.

We have a well-stocked range of up to date and popular fiction and non-fiction books. The Library Manager is available to support students in the library and to help guide them in finding books they will enjoy.
In order to support students with their literacy, all Year 7 and 8 students and other selected groups are enrolled on the Accelerated Reader programme. The program aims to engage students, motivate reading practice and improve reading progress. Books in the library are also colour coded to help students find the correct range of books for their level.
Students in Year 7 have a timetabled reading lesson each week to support their reading and comprehension skills on the Accelerated Reader programme. At various times, students are brought to the library during their subject lessons to use the resources.
Study area and computers
We have a large library space with a range of seating areas for students to be able to read and study in a quiet environment. We also have a number of computers to support students with their work which link to a printer for students to be able to print off school work.

Students also benefit from being able to access free eBooks and audiobooks to complement our library stock through an online service called ePlatform.
ePlatformePlatform can be accessed via the school website or the App. ePlatform also supports the Accelerated Reader programmme.

Scholastic Book Club and Book Fair
Students also have access to buy discounted books through the Scholastic Book Club and the two Book Fairs which we run each year.


Move a document to a SharePoint Records Center via a workflow
Learn how you can use a SharePoint Designer workflow to move a document from a SharePoint document library on one SharePoint site to a specific SharePoint document libary on a Records Center site in SharePoint 2013.
Once you have set up a Records Center in SharePoint 2013, you may want to automate the process of moving documents to the SharePoint Records Center. For this, you can make use of a SharePoint workflow.
The Send Document to Repository workflow action in SharePoint Designer 2013 allows you to specify a SharePoint Records Center to which a file must be copied, moved, or moved and leave a link.
Note that you do not have to configure a Send To connection in SharePoint Central Administration as in Manually move a document to a Records Center in SharePoint 2013 for this solution to work. The only requirement is that you must use the correct URL for the destination router (so one that has the extension /_vti_bin/officialfile.asmx) when you are setting up the workflow action.
Before you begin, ensure that you:
- Have gone through the steps to create a Records Center site in SharePoint 2013.
- Have created a content type for sending documents to the SharePoint Records Center.
Create a SharePoint workflow to move a document to a Records Center
- In SharePoint Designer 2013, create a new list workflow that runs on the SharePoint document library that contains the documents you want to move to the SharePoint Records Center. Ensure that you select SharePoint 2010 Workflow as the Platform Type.
- Add a Send Document to Repository action to the workflow, and configure it to say:
Submit File using Move to http://win-a5pj1269tfk/dmw/recordscen... with Some explanation (Output to Variable: submit file result)
where you must use the String Builder dialog box to set this destination router in the workflow action to be equal to the full URL of the officialfile.asmx web service for the SharePoint Records Center, for example:
Or if you have stored the URL in a workflow variable/parameter or in a field in a list or library, you could also perform a lookup to find that value and use it in the workflow action.
- Publish the workflow to SharePoint.
In SharePoint 2013, navigate to the SharePoint document library to which you associated the workflow and that contains a document you want to move. Manually start the workflow on a document you want to move.
Once the workflow has run and completed, navigate to the SharePoint Records Center and verify that the document has been stored in the appropriate SharePoint document library.
Create a custom action to move a document to a SharePoint Records Center via a workflow
To make it easier to start the workflow on a document, you could add a custom action to the SharePoint document library via SharePoint Designer as follows:
- In SharePoint Designer 2013, in the Navigation pane, click Lists and Libraries.
- On the List and Libraries page, click on the name of the SharePoint document library to which you want to add a custom action to start a SharePoint workflow.
- On the page for the SharePoint document library under Custom Actions, click New.
- On the Create Custom Action dialog box, enter a name for the custom action in the Name text box (for example ArchiveDoc), select the Initiate workflow option, select the name of the workflow that you created earlier from the drop-down list box, and then click OK.
In SharePoint 2013, you should now be able to see the custom action on the menu for a document and select it to run the workflow to move the document to the SharePoint Records Center.
To access a document's menu, click the ellipsis (...) button behind the document, click the ellipsis button on the context menu that appears, and then select the menu item from the drop-down menu that appears.
- SharePoint Designer workflow: Move a document from one library to another
- Move documents from one library to the next in SharePoint 2010 using Open with Explorer
- Create a content type for document routing to a Records Center
- Manually move a document to a Records Center in SharePoint 2013
- SharePoint workflow to move a document to a folder


But it's kind of been a pain. The books seems to float around and mysteriously disappear into our large book collection.
After spending quite a bit of time looking for a book today, I decided we needed a place for the books.
I found a basket that we weren't using any more and made a quick sheet to summarize our library books.
Now we have a place to keep our books and a way to quickly know how many we have and when they need to go back.
Have I mentioned how much I love my laminator? Has to be one of my better purchases.
One more of life's little annoyances I hope I've banished for a while. Anyone else struggle with keeping library books safe and collected? Any other tips?

Tonsils are gland-like structures situated at the back side of your throat. They are made out of tissues that contain lymphocytes. Tonsils play a crucial role in body’s defence system.
They act as a net for incoming bacteria or viruses and trap them when they are passing through the throat. Tonsils are full of nook and crannies where dead cells, mucous, bacteria and other material get trapped.
Over a period of time, concentration of these trapped debris harden or calcify into tonsil stones. Many people develop small tonsilloliths in their tonsils, but it’s not very common to have a large and hardened tonsil stone.

A poem inspired by: “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” & “Harriet the Spy”
RIP to the queen of spies (the one who told the truest lies)
Most beautiful when she didn’t have her cigarette, Maya, was the kindest person I ever met!
The Queen who spied was the same when the sun rose and when the sun set; not a liar at all if I had to make a bet
Don’t know for sure if everything I heard is fact or just a story
I wish I were lie detector… Where the hell is Maury?
I’ll tell you what happened to the Notorious Q.O.S (Queen of Spies) and try my best to explain this mess
I’ll tell you all about the day she died, it might make you cry or her demise might go over your head, it might just pass you by…
…if you let it.
Some say, on the third day, when God said “Let there be light” Maya was there, looking over God’s shoulder
From the vast seas, to grassy plains, to huge mountain boulders
She was there, and writing too, saw colors that filled the sky before the creator decided on blue
There she was writing all about God’s creations, witnessed the formation of every nation, before everyone became anyone this someone came and this someone knew
Maya was there to see the world sparkle, she got the first look, describing all of the world’s glory in her little book; how didn’t she run out of pages trying to describe how lit everything looked?
I wish she could tell me about the sun, and how she sat and watched the huge burning star grow; I want to hear all about the huge celebration she helped the angels throw
Alas, the world’s oldest notebook(s), which is how it all started; so many pages filled with words, sweet, yet tarted
They say Maya-ette, with her cigarette, wrote a story and made Jesus weep; wrote into the souls of men and with the flick of her pen she could change reality…
She knew why the caged bird sang, why children were really afraid of clowns, visited the black utopia, witnessed the Queen of England crack a smile, heard she greeted the Pope at the Vatican with a “My Nigga,” and laughed as he frowned…
Dubbed a “liar,” she wanted to hide the book deep inside her
Protecting her secrets all while keeping a level head
She could have shared her knowledge but decided to consume it all instead
I believe she recorded the truth, some say it was all lies, but now we’ll never know who really shot Malcolm, Martin, Kennedy, who ran down the Princess…or if Tupac is dead or alive
All because Maya decided to fill up her tummy; she ate all her secrets like they were yummy
Page by page she tore up the notebook and ate it away
I hate to spread rumors and gossip but this was a crazy day
I’ll never forget how the neighborhood just stood by and watched as Maya faded away…
Maya-ette, with her cigarette, the only living being knowing the world’s biggest secret
To the end of the earth she traveled and then she went way beneath it…
What she wrote throughout her journey she never told a soul and finally the secrecy had taken its toll
I think she went crazy, you see, so much of the world’s mystery, all bottled up she could no longer contain them
I’ll tell you about the day that came, the rainy day full of shame, the day she decided to die than to rise to fame
A sad day when she devoured all her power, like a cake made with real sugar and real flour
Delicious, private, secret words, curry, jerked, and filled with lemon curds
But no matter how people spin it, it was her own private notebook (no matter what was assumed to be in it)
First, just let me say, RIP to the queen of spies!
Here’s how she met her demise:
The Queen of spies, now permanently living in the skies, kept a notebook to write what she felt inside and who and what she encountered when she traveled through time
She recorded the first bigfoot sighting, was the only person to touch lightning, was friends with the last living giants, she knew why the men and women who went to war would come back and be sworn to silence, she was present for the signing of the Magna Carter, she traveled throughout the galaxy, some say she visited the “farther”
Words cold as ice, her spying came with a price, pages burning like fire, she would go down in history and the world’s most honest liar
I don’t really know how she felt inside, if she wrote the truth or if it was only lies, whether she was only 23 or really 2099 all I remember is how died.
Now, I’m sad to say, there’s no one to attest if there’s really a hell or if heaven is a lifetime away, who was behind 911 or if global warming is only a hoax, and why babies are the only ones who can see ghosts…
No one really talked to the girl who ate the “lies” all we know is how well she spied, so let me tell you how she died:
Her neighbors who thought she was a living lie, got together and made a shoe fly pie, made of real shoes and real flies (hardly any real pie) and presented the terrible dessert to the Queen of spies, all while trying to steal away her “book of lies”
In one gulp she finished the pie, she licked her lips and said goodbye, you would think that was all it took, but she held onto that notebook, and left her gifters shook
Holding tight onto her notebook, day by day, if the tales of monsters and demons inside it were real, I couldn’t say, all I know is that she was a creature of habit
People-watching and writing was all she ever did, and she was a pro at keeping it all hid
Never shared how the interviews went with all the children torn from their families at the border, never mentioned the mental conditions of the lifers in prison growing older, people living their lives in their cages, so much heartbreak must’ve filled her pages
You know, she never took the credit when she convinced congressmen to raise minimum wages
Some say she saw the inside of the first bible’s pages, was there when it was written, visited the earth’s core, and touched the bottom of the deepest ocean’s floor
I heard she met the president’s president (the secret societies society), made friends aliens even married twin dwarves, read the minds of all great historians, visited the moon and finds time to comfort all of the mothers’ who’s babies are “gone too soon,”
You could tell there was something that pulled and tugged and pulled and tugged, and pulled and tugged at her
Although few really tried to, no one could ever figure out what was the matter
Always looking like she fell to the bottom of a pit, she kept a facial expression that looked like she seen some shit
The more the chatter, the more people wonder what was the matter, the more she grew nervous about what people would find
She was ridiculed, called names, but if she really knew what was being said I don’t think she’d mind…
After all, you can’t really offend someone who saw how the world would end…or the one who figured out how to make reality bend
Maya was more concerned about her writing, her truth, her stories, the one thing she had that no one could take away
Here’s how she tried to hide the spying, here’s what led to her dying, here’s why people thought her stories were only her lying, here’s to what happened that day:
I think she knew that day would come, the day when her own people would revolt against her, not the government that controlled their lives, but a little lady deemed an enemy of the state, a state of mind, a witch of a spy who had devoured a poison pie
I heard it was all a fantasy world she created while she spied, mixed with stories of monsters and demons and spirits that dwelled inside…
They say she wrote stories to heal the pain
The pain that came each time it rained
It rained because she was so sad inside
Was what she wrote the truth or lies?
I know it was the truth, she dedicated her life to traveling and crossed many tides
RIP to the queen of Spies
So, finally, here’s exactly how she died:
She was poisoned by the shoe fly pie (the one her neighbors made filled with real shoes and real flies and hardly any pie)
Then she decided to continue eating her notebook like it was cake
I saw her swallowed down her lucky pen the one used to write about heaven and the world’s end
Then a spare, without a care, she swallowed what some say was the pen she used to record a formula to create air
It isn’t fair how quickly she ate her contact lenses and glasses, no one would ever be able to look through what she saw not even if they bought the same lashes
She swallowed down the lenses to her camera, contacts too! Oh and her glasses and her eye lashes, pens and her notebook, you would think that was all it took even after eating the shoe fly pie (the one made with real shoes and real flies) but she continued on until her last breath until she died
RIP to the QOS (Queen of Spies)!
Next, she ate her favorite pets and washed them down with her cigarette, keep reading this, I’m not done yet; I can still hear Brownie barking in her stomach, a puppy, a guppy, a snake and it’s charmer
she swallowed her lighter, and her belly grew warmer…you could see the flicker of the flame burning and shining bright from deep inside her
Then, all of a sudden, there was a huge fire, the pages she ate reacted to the lighter, that was ignited by the cigarette, I’m not done yet, the pets got sick off of the uneaten shoe fly pies that stuck to her insides, as the cigarette burned and her pets’ stomach turned Maya turned blue
The flicker of the flame grew larger the one that burned and shined bright from deep inside her…
Out from her mouth was the loudest belch with a bunch of smoke so to contain the flames she swallowed some tea (more pages from her notebook), the secrets of a brewing WWIII, the future, and more unwritten history
She swallowed a first aid kit, some antibiotics, some anti flea and tick tablets her pets; a heroic meal for her sidekicks
She ate up an umbrella for that dreary hazy day god forbid if any moisture got in her way
Call her crazy, or just remember her like that girl lazy Jane, the one would wanted a drink of water but would wait for the days it rained
Maya thought she needed a raincoat, to go with her umbrella so she swallowed that in just one gulp, she swallowed the coat to protect the “GOAT” (a spare notebook) which should’ve been all it took but she kept on eating; all while her neighbors trembled and shook…
Pages from her notebook, pens, a spare, a formula for creating air, a rain coat, an umbrella to protect the GOAT, delicious tea, secrets of a brewing WWIII, consumed and you would think this was all it took but she continued on devouring anything anyone could use to read between the lines of history books
She continued to eat everything she thought would protect her, she consumed all the things she could quickly gather and the flames from the fire grew bigger and brighter…
Throughout the grape vine, they say, she swallowed boots, that were laced, with a drug that would make her pace, that would help her digest so she could continue her race
Pressed for time she swallowed mace (just in case), what a taste, she felt herself slipping away you could tell it was written on her face
Oh dear, down went some pretty underwear, momma always said to keep a spare pair
She swallowed her savings; dollar bills and piggy bank cents, bargaining chips for the afterlife and some common incense
Where she was going next, was a world full of more nightmares than dreams…giving meaning to the phrase nothing is what it seems
They say she consumed her entire room (and in it was a special broom, she would occasionally take flight at night but no one ever caught that site), a listening piece (the one she used to spy on her niece) and she ate it all down to the wire, to secure all the juiciness and details deep inside her.
Next up a recorder that hooked up to the listening piece, her favorite laptop that stored all the chatter, that tumbled and tumbled you’d asked what’s the matter?
By this time everyone had gathered around, to see the Queen who her spied on her hometown…
They watched, then laughed as she went and swallowed her own Fingerprints, we know because she was the only one who wore henna on her fingertips
By this time everyone had pulled up, all the cars from the neighborhood, some with the darkest of window tints
Watching as Maya-ette kept going, I’m sad to drag on, but she swallowed a DNA kit/she thought that idea was lit, Promised that was it, but she was still in a pit, of nervousness, so let me continue on…
She thought her passport would keep her out of court so she went and swallowed that and her fake ID, so no one could prove her true identity
So she then ate her real license, I know you’re in suspense, so let me attempt to make this make sense
She swallowed her passport and everything else I guess to keep from going to court
Maya-ette the spy decided that wasn’t enough, she wasn’t too stuffed she huffed and the smoke puffed, after she devoured her Flash drive to really save the data you would think she was finally done.
Everyone had finally won, she sat down weighing a ton, big as a house in the middle of her street not making a peep
Quiet as a mouse she closed her eyes for a really long sleep away one by one did all the neighbors creep
It was a sad sight looking at the many pounds sitting on the ground frowns stayed upside down
Hardly anyone was looking but I saw her get very tense and with the last bit of her strength, Shoved down her throat her newest iPhone, no more social media, she was finally all alone, but not on her own on her own
She swallowed her bike she used to ride to her car
She swallowed her car but down her throat it didnt get too far
It got stuck but she kept trying and eventually it slid down with the help of some muck
Then she swallowed a gun to protect her Bike, the one she promised to return to Mike
She swallowed a Gun and that made her dizzy/ she spun, she quickly changed her name to Lizzy, still protecting her secrets til the very moment she was done
All in the effort to protect her “lies” this is how she met her demise.
Here I am, her protégé, reporting on how she died that day.
Short story made long, meaning for it to be a long story short.
I went to her grave and dug up everything and began to sort, through all the things she swallowed, through every piece of precious junk
RIP Maya-ette, I’ll miss you and your cigarette, you are gone but your mission lives on.
I’d like to reintroduce myself.
Hi, I’m the new Queen of spies.

The Fine Print of Self-Publishing by Mark Levine is absolutely necessary or an utter waste of time. For the author who is prepared to do the work of self publishing themselves, this book is a waste of time. If you are interested in hiring a self publishing company, then you need this book.
Mark Levine has a legal background and a passion for the rights of the author, both of which show as he clearly and extensively evaluates the major self publishing companies and lays out which ones are worth dealing with and which ones will only rip you off. He examines the various parts of a self publishing contract, and which phrases are warning signs of a contract that you will regret in later years.
Sadly, a significant portion of self publishing companies are not good for the author. Because of the sheer number of scam companies and unethical practices out there, the book can often come across as negative or disillusioning. However there are several outstanding and good self publishing companies as well. If you want to hire a self publishing company, getting this book can save you thousands of dollars, massive headaches, and the rights to your books.

Book Review: 40 Actionable Trade Setups From Real Market Pros- The StockTwits Edge
This is an unusual book: in a true Twitter spirit, it is crowdsourced from various Twitter/StockTwits members. This "portfolio" approach is both a strength and a weakness: while there is a good variety of approaches described, some of the authors are not natural writers. On the positive side, the chapters are relatively short and any one that is a drag can be skipped over.
After reading the intro, I thought that the book would be a bit more balanced between various investing methods: it is not. Various momentum trading strategies (broadly speaking) are over-represented (probably more than half of the book) while others (options trading, value) get some space but it is pretty far from even. The final part of the book, The Art of Trading, is a catch-all for a few non-specific essays, some of which I found very interesting. Also of note, some chapters are parsimonious with their insights but very generous with pushing certain subscription products; other authors spent a bit too much time discussing their personal backgrounds. Finally, I was very surprised to see that Joe Fahmy was not in the book.
The sections within the book are: trend following, value, day trading, swing trading (longest), options, forex (shortest) and "the art of". I think an "average" investors would benefit from how various market participants think and act, while an "average" trader would find a good number (less than the promised 40) of set-ups for different markets and timeframes.
My favorite chapters- without giving away the store- were:
Value: Michael Bigger looking at CROX/fallen angels; Eddy Elfenbein looking at Aflac/quality
Swing: "ChessNWine" on trading break-outs from bases; Ivanhoff/Stocktwits50 has a thoughtful chapter on momentum
Options: Joe Kunkle has a good multi-factor approach (market sentiment, technicals, fundamentals) combined with spotting unusual options activity
The Art Of: well-known bloggers Greg McDonald and Josh Brown have good pieces, while Charles Kirk has three pages on insights from years of mentoring traders (might well be extended to "long term" investors, many similar issues pop up).
Net-net, there is something for everyone in this book but the slant is towards momentum traders. This is a natural offshoot of Twitter (and the smaller group, StockTwits, which sourced the book) being very trading oriented. May be the next book can be targeted towards "long form" investors.
Full disclosure: I received a free copy of the book from Ivanhoff, one of the editors and authors

How to become a Certified Public Accountant?
You can’t be an accountant without an accounting journal.
I’m sure there are some people who just love to read and read and want to become one.
But there are many others who simply don’t have the time to study accounting.
You can learn a lot about yourself and your life from an accounting career.
It will give you an understanding of your own strengths and weaknesses and give you a better understanding of the world.
If you have never written an accounting book before, I would strongly recommend that you start with this one by a registered accountant named Charles L. Miller.
Miller is a member of the American Academy of Public Accounting (AAPA), a nationally recognized organization that accredits private and public accounting schools.
Miller’s book, Accounting on Line: An Accountant’s Companion to Accounting, is available at a number of online stores.
Miller, an accountant by training, has written a variety of other books, including: Accounting on the Job: How to Succeed in Accounting, with advice on everything from hiring and promotion to budgeting.
The book is available for free online.
Another book by Miller is titled The Accounting Journal: How You Can Become an Auditor and Make an Honest Living.
Miller has written three books on accounting, which include The Accounting Journey: A Guide for Beginning Accountants, The Accounting Manual: An Advanced Handbook for Accountants and Certified Public Accounts, and The Accounting Life: How Your Career Will Change and Grow with the Change in Accounting.
His other books include: Accounting for a New Century: A Comprehensive Guide for Accountant Professionals and the Public, and How to Be an Accounting Manager: A New Way to Succe in Accounting (and other careers).
In addition, Miller has published a variety or compendium of accounting books, many of which are available online.
His book on accounting is called Accounting on line: An Auditing Journal.
He also has two other books on financial terms and the accounting meaning of accounting, including The Financial Accounting Guidebook and the Financial Accounting Meaningbook: Accounting and the Meaning of Accounting.
This one is also available online, along with an accompanying audio presentation.
Miller gives a great overview of accounting terms.
For example, he explains that in accounting, the word account means to pay for something with money.
He tells you what that means.
When you have an account, you’re taking out a loan for a thing.
You’re paying the money back to yourself or someone else when you need it.
So you have a legal obligation to pay back a loan that you made.
In other words, if you’re a creditor, you owe the money, not the account.
He explains that a financial statement can also be a statement of a business.
You could write a check to someone who owes you money, or a bank could loan you money.
There are several types of financial statements.
There’s a “cash register” type financial statement, which is basically a document you give to the bank to make sure it’s being used correctly.
Then there are the “real time” financial statements, which are written for the actual business.
Miller also has a “financial statement for the past six months” financial statement that gives you a breakdown of the financial year for the account and includes all the expenses and debts that are outstanding at the time of the statement.
This type of financial statement gives you an idea of how much money you owe at the end of the year, what you have left over, and how you plan to pay off all of your debt.
You don’t want to be underpaying, because it shows you are doing your best to repay the money that’s been taken out of your account.
You also want to know how much you owe on any current debt that you may have.
Miller says that if you want to pay your debts, you should pay off any debt that’s outstanding at that time.
If there is a balance outstanding, that means you owe money.
If it’s an outstanding debt that has been outstanding for several years, you don’t owe anything.
Miller explains that the “accounting sense” of accounting is that you have to be able to see that you’ve paid off the money you have in the past.
There is a whole chapter on debt, and you can find the whole chapter at Miller’s website, Accounting for Debt: A Practical Guide for Accounts and the Tax Man.
The chapter on the debt chapter explains that you can take out an “underpayment” on a debt.
The idea is that, if the money is there, you can go into a claim for payment.
You have to make a claim.
You make a written claim, you file it, and then you pay.
So, the way to take out debt is to go into the claim and pay it.
Miller describes how to do this.
He says that you will find that most of the debt you are
