Oh, when I had the bon bon, it was not greasy.

I cannot believe that there is not a blog that is giving block reports of what is filming where in NYC. SERIOUSLY. It should be a component of gawker.

I could head that up for them if they want. IJS.

I think you have to eat it right away. I brought mine back to the office.

Right! I meant to respond to Jessica's link-- it works, and is exactly what I said was impossible to find, but I want to know what it is, say, is filming on 26th street right now, you know? Why we don't have a Gawker Stalker for that is madness.

Random questions for the hivemind (legal peeps and librarians, heads up!):

I'm both a legal peep and a librarian:

Yes, law libraries have information on things like estate planning. What a law library will have for a lay person will vary from library to library (we don't have much, because we mostly serve students, faculty & alum). I always recommend the Nolo Press books to lay people.

Specific info about a library branch might be found in an annual report. Those usually get posted online these days. I'm not aware of a directory/index that puts all this together generally -- just for special collections.

Gloomcookie:

1. My guess would be no - you'd want to talk to a certified financial planner or an actual lawyer for that. Law libraries provide information, but there's a big deal about librarians not giving any legal advice.

2. Very much depends on the library web site. Existence of branches, yes; collection descriptions, often; clientele notes, I'd say very rarely. LAPL seems pretty brief in their descriptions: [link]

Where I read that and think,"Sign of the Apocalypse!"

My work leave stuff remains a nightmare. Apparently, even though the leave papers never state this, I am supposed to turn it in not only to the office listed (Personnel Services) but also to another office (Certificated Personnel Service!) that isn't listed. I got a call from CPS and was told I was missing documentation. The woman became increasinly snipy and condescending and I wanted to bop her. Then I broke in and said, "I'm so sorry. If I had known you needed the same paperwork, I would have made sure you had gotten it. The forms never say anything like that though." Then she got all nice and said an apology wasn't necessary.

Funny how an apology makes other backpedal.

Can you get information on financial planning at a law library? For example, if you're looking to get information on protecting assets in the case where one spouse has a terminal illness.

You know those "write your own will" kits? I'm not a probate lawyer, but I've never heard anything bad about them. I think they're available at bookstores and may be of help.

Hell, they're available at Kinkos.

Years ago I worked here [link] and alongside the menu for lattes and mochas, there was a menu for estate planning, divorces, traffic tickets and such. Their Heather's Hash is named after me.
