Hello interested students!
I'm looking for input as to what potential applications/problems you're looking to solve with MySQL so I can better position the class as something useful to you all--do you come from architecture backgrounds looking to keep track of say, community input, or is it just casual mapping of, say, sensor data? Or Government data? Or something else? Is there a GIS interest/component to your needs?
Any input you can provide will help me make this a better experience--thanks in advance!

Sorry this is so last minute, but in order to capture and take away text and images, I would encourage people to bring either digital cameras or flash drives to the session tomorrow at the Reanimation Library. You are also welcome to bring a laptop to make scans. Probably best to donwload the scanner drivers before you arrive. There are links to them on the bottom of this page: http://reanimationlibrary.org/pages/access.htm. There is also a photocopier available. But because we'll have a full house, the more options available, the better.
Thanks + see you tomorrow.

This class is for anyone interested in reading and talking about architecture. The class is open to anyone including architects, critics and the architecturally curious. After a fantastic first meeting, we have decided to meet on the last Sunday of each month. At the first meeting we had a great discussion about the book, "Learning from Las Vegas". We have agreed to use the comments section of this page to choose the book for the next meeting. If you missed the first meeting but are still interested in the class, please feel free to join the discusion, and hopefully we will see you at the next meeting!

Civil Disobedience in the 21st Century is a participatory workshop investigating the theory, strategy, tactics and goals of modern non-violent protest. While I’ll be presenting a significant amount of information that may be new to participants, the workshop is an exploration of its topic not an exposition about it. I imagine this as a facilitated think tank guided by particular facts and theories, but ultimately focused on imagining new practical methods of encouraging social change.

In preparation for the upcoming session at the Reanimation Library, it would be great if everyone who has signed up could arrive with a basic understanding of the library. If you haven't already done so, please take a look at the following pages:
http://www.reanimationlibrary.org/pages/about.htm
http://www.reanimationlibrary.org/pages/overview.htm
http://www.reanimationlibrary.org/pages/personal.htm
http://www.reanimationlibrary.org/pages/faq.htm
While I will give a brief introduction/orientation, I don't plan on talking at length about the library because I would prefer for people to have as much time as possible to develop their research projects.
I will, however, likely be referencing a few other sites/concepts in my discussion which you should probably take a look at:

Hi,
I've been doing body rolling for some time. it's a great exercise routing for stretching and lengthening the muscles. In conjuction with basic pilates, yoga, stretching, and core strengthening exercises, it is a very simple yet powerfully effective method of relieving muscle tension and tighteness; especially in the lower, middle and upper back. A more detailed description of what comprises body rolling is listed below the bold at bottom.
