When Brooke Ferreira was a pre-schooler, she decided she wanted long hair. Slowly, steadily, she grew it out.
She went without a haircut for five years, until her hair turned from short bob to "bum-length," as her mother, Suzette, described.
It was her signature. Brooke didn't want to cut it.
Until last week. A friend at another second-grader, had donated her hair to Locks of Love, a non-profit group that collects donations of hair and gives them to children suffering from hair loss, from cancer and other diagnoses.
Brooke came home, excited about this idea.
"So that was it," Suzette Ferreira wrote. "Since last Thursday, she has hounded me to take her for a haircut so that she too could donate it."
On Tuesday, Ana Peniche at Plaza Barber Shop on Main Street gave Brooke her first haircut since 2008, removing a 12-inch-long ponytail.
And Brooke now has a very cute, shoulder-length style.

The Preparation of the Novel
Lecture Courses and Seminars at the
Collège de France (1978–1979
and 1979–1980)
Roland Barthes
translated by Kate Briggs
Columbia University Press ($29.50)
by Spencer Dew
What is published here are the posthumously established notes for Roland Barthess lectures of a two-part course called The Preparation of the Novel, along with a brief assortment of related materials—a series of photographs, by Nadar, of people known by Proust, accompanied by Barthess notes for a seminar that never took place; a smattering of haiku referred to or cited in the first part of the course; and, finally, photographic reproduction of eight pages of notes, possibly for a novel, accompanied by translations of the same. This is not a course on the novel, nor on specific novels, nor on novelists, nor the writing of a novel, but rather the preparation of the novel, premised—as Barthes insists all courses must be—on a fantasy, a fantasy related to the novel, to the desire to write, and certainly to what Barthes calls the jouissance, the joy of writing, which, as jouissance, is as much about the anticipation—the preparation, even—as about the fulfillment or completion of the act itself.
A sense of what to Barthes must have been delicious postponement, edging around the event itself, characterizes this course, but the pleasure here (unlike, say, the likewise posthumous publication of Barthess course from the year before this course started, The Neutral, published in 2005 by Columbia University Press) isnt necessarily contagious. While The Neutral represented a climax of theorizing, the culmination of an exhilarating breadth of reading and thinking and writing, The Preparation of the Novel is tentative, a preliminary-yet-public thinking around how to frame the issue under consideration. While the editors push the narrative that Barthes was, perhaps, preparing to write a novel (hence the reproduction of notes at the end of this volume), there is a sense, throughout, that whatever Barthes wanted to do next, it would involve a radical departure from previous forms—hence the elaborate preparation, and hence, too, the fact that those photographically reproduced pages are labeled Vita Nova, after Dantes experiment in pushing the limits of form.
Indeed, it is in relation to form that The Preparation of the Novel will be most interesting to a general audience. One way of talking about the split between the first section of the class, From Life to the Work, consisting of thirteen one-hour sessions, and the second section, The Work as Will, consisting of eleven two-hour meetings, is that the main focus of the first is haiku, or, as Barthes says, a concern with the minimal act of writing that is Notation, chiefly through an exemplary Form of Notation, the Haiku, while the second purported to track the Work from its Projection to its accomplishment: in other words, from Wanting-to-Write to Being-Able-to-Write, or from the Desire-to-Write to the Fact-of-Writing, and focused heavily on Proust. The early pages of this volume contain classical Barthesian analysis of the excess of meaning conveyed by photography versus the minimalism of haiku—how, in haiku, something happens but its not an effect, how The Short Form is its own necessity and suffices in itself, offering a tiny element of real, present, concomitant life. The later pages obsess over the intricacies of writers legends, differences in writing schedules, and even the question of the Novelists outfit, all out of a concern with writing as a comprehensive way of life, meaning that more attention is paid to the Trials of Writing—Choice, Patience, Organization—than to that to which such trends stand as prelude, the practice of writing in real terms, day after day . . . the body in the process of writing, the hand poised over the blank page.
Both of these aspects are, for Barthes, intimate, autobiographical concerns—from practical considerations about textuality (dont underestimate what the layout of speech on the page can do) to consideration of the drain that Administration, even managing your social circle, exerts on the writers ability to write, reflection on the relief from such obligations tuberculosis offered Kafka or how Rimbauds spectacular scuppering of Writing relates to the limits of language itself. As critic and theorist, Barthes has always been marked by a dual focus on both the textual and the domestic. Both of these realms give him pleasure, and his work—his writing—is always also very much a pursuit of pleasure. When Barthes examines the diets and eating habits of famous novelists, for instance, he is indulging a desire that runs throughout his oeuvre. However much he might turn attention, in earlier works, to the writerly, he also always remains the writer who mused on the centrality (if not sacrality) of the writers notebook, diary, and daily habits. Fitting, then, that this volume preserves his pages of notes as an artifact, a relic even, discovered only after his death two days after the courses last meeting. The identification with Proust certainly reverberates with Barthess loss after his own mothers death; he argues that in In Search of Lost Time . . . the Mother-Grand-Mother [is] the one who justifies the writing because the writing justifies her, while in his own work (consider the remarkable Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes) Barthes likewise gave his mother a central role.
The general reader, then, will find this affiliation with—even affection for—Proust to be more enticing than claims that the Novel is a structure, or that the writers Desk is likewise essentially a structure . . . a localization of functions and connections between microfunctions. Barthes becomes exciting when readers recognize and appreciate his sensual engagement with such microfunctions. A domestic writer who writes lovingly of routine, of solitude and fantasies of solitude (oh, to study classical texts in winter, next to a source of warmth!), and of both the mechanical intricacies of a text and the broad, contextual preconditions for such texts, Barthes, in these lectures, pursues his own pleasures at his own pace, actively avoiding his old nemesis, Boredom (the metaphysical condition of Man), while virtually caressing the details of both text and life that he offers up to his audience on these pages. Consider this passage from Proust: My existence is extremely unsociable; I love its uneventfulness, its quiet. It is complete and objective nothingness. Barthes holds this on his tongue until it melts to pure sweetness. For readers who can share such a pleasure—and who can acclimatize to the particular form both of Barthess writing and this truncated, lecture notes format—The Preparation of the Novel will generate some jouissance indeed.

Honoring a drive for perfection
Perfect attendance at work last year paid off for Henrico resident and Owens & Minor employee Michael Faison, who drove home in a new Ford Mustang April 12. Faison's name was selected in a random drawing from among a pool of 55 hourly employees who qualified for the drawing by achieving perfect attendance in 2011. (The company awards six cars annually to one employee with such attendance within each of its six operating regions.)
Faison, a seven-year employee at the Owens & Minor Richmond Distribution Center in Hanover, was surprised with his new car during the work day. He is pictured above, holding the keys to the car, flanked by Ron Smarsh, general manager of the Richmond Distribution Center; Owens & Minor EVP and COO James Bierman, and Owens & Minor Regional Director of Operations José Valderas.

Piers for the downtown portion of the Ohio River Bridges Project continue to rise out of the river.
And bridge planners gave an up-close tour Thursday to several media outlets to showcase progress on the downtown portion of the project.
"There is work underway on all three of what will become the tower supports [for the bridge]," said Mindy Peterson, spokesperson for the Ohio River Bridges Project.
The piers under construction in the Ohio River will eventually become towers of the northbound portion of the Interstate 65 corridor.
Peterson said Walsh Construction crews are doing preparation work on Pier No. 3 — which is closest to the Kentucky shoreline — and Pier No. 4 has some of its drilled shafts completed. Footing will be poured on Pier No. 4 once forms have been removed from Pier No. 5, and crews are drilling now on Pier No. 6 — which is closest to the Indiana shoreline.
The pier where the most progress has been made is Pier No. 5, where a footer is being prepared to be filled with concrete.
"They are getting very close to pouring concrete on tower five, before the end of the month," Peterson said.
Footers on Pier No. 5 will be filled with concrete, creating the waterline footing for what will become one of the bridge towers. The lower cross beam that will connect the two footings, creating a leg pedestal for the bridge, is expected to be poured this winter, according to a news release. The first Tower No. 5 leg sections are expected to be poured in the spring.
Once the towers in the water are completed crews will begin building the superstructure above the water, and crews will move onto the respective shores to begin creating the piers that are on dry land.
Peterson again said the only delay that Walsh Construction has run into is harder than expected bedrock in the riverbed.
"It has affected the speed at which they have moved, but it has not affected the schedule," she said.
The new northbound Interstate 65 bridge is on track for its April 2016 completion date. Once the northbound bridge is completed all traffic will be transferred onto the new bridge while repairs and redecking of the Kennedy Bridge takes place to convert it into a southbound-only structure.
The downtown portion of the bridges project is expected to be completed in October 2016.

You know that stretch of Niagara Falls Boulevard just north of Maple Road, where Amherst's slick Consumer Square Benderson development, including Target and Barnes and Noble, faces off against a classic old Tonawanda strip plaza?
Buzz loves that plaza. It is like Tonawanda thumbing its nose at Amherst. The plaza is home to that tae kwan do studio that also sells Venetian blinds. And historic Mayback Food Shoppe, a dinosaur in this day and age. (Please pardon us for not including links. These aren't the kind of places that bother with websites.)
You would not think we could top such quaint businesses as these. However.
We have!
Yesterday Buzz noticed a tenant we could not remember seeing before. We snapped this picture. We took a poor-quality shot on purpose to add to the atmosphere.
Got to love how the store name refers just to "TV." No "electronics," "computer," or any other such uplifting language.
And you can't see it in the picture, but the sign on the door refers to "dirt cheap hours."
God love this plaza. It should have historic landmark status.
Secure this border!

Meredith Smith is the editor of Slice, the pizza review blog of the Serious Eats network of food sites; in a post about the Knoxville pizza scene, she gives finds that's changed over the years:
"My view of the pizza landscape in Knoxville is dated. Growing up, it was the closest big city to home and I made plenty of trips there, but that was before the new standards set forth by the mid 2000s pizza renaissance. It remained, in my mind, a swath of the country populated by pizza buffets and the big chains. So it was with genuine surprise (and a touch of skepticism) that when passing through this holiday season, I saw all sorts of new-era pizza joints popping up on the restaurant maps."
The post includes a very positive review to Hard Knox Pizza: slice.seriouseats.com, Jan. 3, 2013.

PLAYERS: Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith, Tyson Chandler, Amare Stoudemire, Rasheed Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Kenyon Martin, Iman Shumpert, Raymond Felton, Pablo Prigioni, Tobias Harris, Andrew Nicholson, Nikola Vucevic, Chris Copeland, Mike Woodson, Spike Lee, Jacque Vaughn
TEAMS: New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors
TEAMS: New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors
Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points after missing the previous three games with a knee injury, and the New York Knicks beat the Orlando Magic 106-94 on Wednesday night. J.R. Smith had 22 points for New York, still short-handed in the frontcourt but looking much better with Anthony back. The NBA's second-leading scorer hadn't played since leaving the Knicks' road trip last week to have fluid drained from the back of his right knee. He said he felt much better after the morning shootaround and moved much better, shooting 7 of 14 and grabbing eight rebounds. The Knicks shot 53 percent and won their second straight after dropping the first four games of their five-game trip. All-Star center Tyson Chandler is expected to miss about a week with a bulging disk, and reserve forwards Amare Stoudemire, Rasheed Wallace and Kurt Thomas all could miss the rest of the regular season. But New York had no trouble despite using a small lineup that featured 6-foot-9 Kenyon Martin as the center. Iman Shumpert, who joined Anthony, Martin, Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni in the lineup, sat out the second half after hurting his knee late in the first half. He sat on the bench in uniform and the team said he was available to play, but wasn't needed once the Knicks blew it open. Tobias Harris and Andrew Nicholson each scored 14 points for the Magic in their fifth straight loss. They played without center Nikola Vucevic because of an illness in the second night of a difficult back-to-back, after falling by 22 at Indiana on Tuesday. New York beat Orlando for the sixth straight time and swept the season series for the first time since 1997-98. Anthony had sat out six of the previous eight games. He fell to the court without contact while trying to catch a pass in Cleveland on March 4 and missed the next three games. He returned but was clearly limited in losses at Golden State and Denver, and he finally realized the knee needed more than just rest. He had rejoined the team on the West Coast following the procedure but didn't want to rush back, and determined he was ready Wednesday after feeling good over the last couple of days. Anthony made a 3-pointer on the Knicks' first possession, and New York built a 22-7 lead after consecutive 3-pointers by Smith and Chris Copeland capped a 10-0 run. They led 26-15 after one, but Orlando got untracked with a 31-point second quarter, cutting it to 51-46 at the half. The Knicks put it away midway through the third, getting two free throws and a follow shot by Anthony to start a 10-2 burst that extended a 10-point lead to 78-60. NOTES: Knicks coach Mike Woodson said he didn't expect the Knicks to make any moves to fortify the frontcourt because Wallace and Thomas could be back around the start of the playoffs. And he said he still ''absolutely'' believes in the Knicks' decision to load up on older players over the summer, believing the injuries happened because the veterans played more minutes than expected because of injuries to other players. ... The Knicks wished director and leading fan Spike Lee a happy birthday between the first and second quarters. ... Magic coach Jacque Vaughn was ejected from Tuesday's game and said he didn't want to discuss his feelings about Indiana's physical play for fear of losing more money, smiling that his wife was mad about the fines that come with the two technical fouls he received during the loss to the Pacers.

The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association voted and allowed Brent Scott back into the coaching circles in Oklahoma high school football on Wednesday. The governing body of high school sports in this state reinstated Scott, lifting his one-year ban from coaching high school football.
Scott celebrated by watching the Disney Channel at home with his child.
"I'm just glad to have it behind me," Scott said when reached by phone by the Tahlequah Daily Press. "I knew it was today but I didn't know what the result was."
Scott, who was the head coach at Sequoyah for nine years, was suspended by the OSSAA in late October of 2012, after the association discovered Sequoyah had violated summer camp policies prior to the start of the 2012 campaign. Scott was dealt a one-year ban from coaching anywhere in Oklahoma, and Sequoyah had to forfeit all nine of its victories and its District 3A-7 championship last season.
"It's been tough," Scott said of his absence from coaching. "It's been difficult to not be a part of it. It's also tough when you don't get to be a part of program that you helped build."
Prior to forfeiting victories last year, Scott's record at Sequoyah was 76-23. The Indians were 7-1 overall and 4-0 in district play at the time of Scott's suspension. Sequoyah finished the year 9-1 and 6-0 but were forced to vacant those wins.
Scott, who lives in Tulsa, said he's eager to join a coaching staff in the near future and get back to work.
"There were some people that were waiting on the verdict, as well," Scott said. "People were interested in hiring me but I couldn't, obviously. Now I can tell them I'm ready to go."
When asked where he might end up at, Scott refused to give any specifics. But he said he's hoping to be coaching again by the time the calendar flips to a new year.
"I hope to be started by January when the semester starts," he said. "And then we'll go from there."

A Mechanic's Life - Tales From Under the Hood
There has always been pressure to do the job wrong.
Like the unscrupulous people who show someone their dipstick and say it must be changed because it's black? Or worse, the engine must be flushed. I don't hear too many tales of the grease on the shock absorbers any more.
See, you're not only fighting consumer perceptions, you're also having to read about how crooks in your business harm your reputation.

So how does this pertain to the debate taking place? Does this somehow make the facts that I have written less trustworthy? You have Ron's story linked here, and you have information from the Valvoline page that you linked to. Now are they giving the consumers the whole story or not? If not, why not?
Which debate? Consumers have to buy oil that only has the manufacturer's label on it?
Or you comment that your oil was "clear", as if that meant something?
(btw, is your shop closed today? :shades: ).

Unscrupulous. Nice word. Exactly who created and sold those engine flush machines and when did Edmunds ever do a story on how they and their use was presented as real training for the shops and technicians?
Is there never a time to use such a piece of equipment? Does it have no value at all? (FWIW, I don't own one)
You really need to follow through with the SynPower 5W30 MST issue as I outlined. You wouldn't want to appear to be unscrupulous would you?
No thanks, I just want to be able to buy jugs off the shelf at Walmart without having to take my owner's manual and a magnifying glass into the store to read the labels.
If I wanted to spend years talking about the minutia of motor oil, I could have been hanging out in Engine Oil - A slippery subject Part 2 all this time.

Perfect, then you should be praising GM for the dexos1 licensing. You only need to look at the front of the bottle and you are assured to be purchasing the correct product. (Or not)
The exercise is critical to properly explain the differences in the oil products to the consumers. They can walk in the door and buy Valvoline SynPower 5W30, but is it the North American version, or is it the European one. They are completely different products. Both are good products, and will serve the consumers well but only if they know how to choose the one that matches their car. Your refusal to assit the consumer in this matter is puzzling. BTW, where is Ron? Maybe he will explain it. Unless of course someone has something to hide.
Nope, it's a blessing to be able to type at some 2000wph.
The list of what I have already completed today includes an 5000 mile service on a 2000 Accord, replaced and programmed a PCM on a 2001 Taurus, brake inspection on another Honda, it needs the front pads and the rotors machined. Plus the LH engine mount on a silverado 4WD 8.1l.
Which debate? Consumers have to buy oil that only has the manufacturer's label on it
Nope, that is distorting the issue. Consumers need to buy the products for their cars that meet the manufactures specifications. The problem is "How do they know for sure which products do, and which ones do not meet the specs for their car" Is there a reason why you repeatedly have to try and attempt to misrepresent the real issue?
I really don't want to be a pr!(& here, but its time that consumers, and any shops/techs who may wander through here are told what they really need to know, and not the polished version one sided version that they have been getting fed. This also works for things like the engine flush. It takes a lot of nerve to bash the shops who made the investment, because they thought they were doing right by their customers, only to find out in a back handed way that it was not a good choice. Why didn't Edmunds address the issue in a way that might have prevented some of these shops from buying the machine in the first place? They (you) have no problem assailing it but you never tried to prevent the idea from catching on. What was that word you used, "Unscrup...."???
BTW I just got a call from another shop for a SKIM issue on a Chrysler. I'll be hitting the road for an hour or so to address it for them. See if Ron can post and explain those Euro specs and how one oil meets all of them before I have to.
Perfect, then you should be praising GM for the extra cost of the dexos1 licensing.
There, fixed it for you. :-)
(Ron is in the home office a couple of thousand miles away locked away behind the editorial firewall. Don't recall ever meeting him).

rt rear rotor/hub/wheel bearing assembly
Can a seizing (or reluctant to return after brake application) caliper cause a rotor to run warm enough to smell a bit hot, can that cook enough grease out of the way to cause a WB to fail..in about 600 miles over a couple months (10 mi /day at 35 mph and 50 mile trips at 50 mph once a week) or so of that condition?
This generation of CRV are known to have troublesome rear brakes apparently.
I have heard strange sounds in the past of a WB going in..well a few cars over the years but one that was the most elusive to determine which end and side was the culprit, was an old Samurai (live axles on frame). Anyway, pretty sure this noise is coming from the suspect right rotor (rubbing, altho is not hot anymore, only gets warm) and the noise is not nearly as discernible/loud now. This is why I can't be sure the WB was affected by this initially hot rotor. I intend to buy a pair of new rear rotors (they incorporate a Parking brake drum also) in any event, and possibly a new caliper if I can't get the new aftermkt pads not grd down enough to fit enough to not drag. The cast positioning tabs had to be grd in order to fit. yes, should have bought OEM.
The reason I would like an opinion on this is if the WB is shot, it is fairly expensive, as the entire assembly including all suspension and trailing/originating links have to come out. It is AWD. It also houses the stability control sensor pickups. I don't want to get into the WB if you think that a hot rotor is unlikely responsible for causing the WB to go. Car has only 55k miles on it. And rarely has anyone in back seat or loaded heavy.
Even when it got fairly hot, I could put my hand (end of my fingers reached in) on the centre hub part. But could not do that on the rotor itself, was too hot to touch safely. I put a laser Class 2 temp gauge on the hub one day when I got home but forget what the reading was..I think the hub was about 110 and the rotor was 125 or so..
I wish I had someone who could hang out the window in the back seat and listen.
So to sum up:
- Any tips on discerning a WB sound going, vs a rubbing pads on the rotor?
- Could that hot rotor take out the WB's? Or is 55k miles and a bad WB not unheard of on these CRV's?
I know WB often don't last nearly as long as they used to as pursued weight savings have made them all smaller and lighter rotors and hubs/WB etc to save weight.
I hope I am not misleading by mentioning that temp, cuz I really can't remember, but feel pretty sure if it was much more than that I would have recalled better..
I have seen red rotors on bikes, but as with I suspect the race cars, I think the rotors must be a lot farther away from the WB than they are on this CRV. On the bikes of course they are nowhere near the hub which houses the WB's, sitting right out in the open outboard of the hub. It just seems to me that heat radiates inward too right? It has no bias that I am aware of. You know, I haven't had these rotors off...but I bet they house the WB too right? Often Japanese types that incorporate the parking brake drum all as one unit.
I hope you are right, shiftright. So many noises such as this are hard to pinpoint..this was like a low-pitched rubbling sound and not sure if rubbing pads could make this sound or not. I tired weaving in my lane to try to see if the noise frequency changed, and it did but then started to sound like it was the brakes.
Looks like I am going to have to pull the entire assembly to be sure. Hope I don't need a torch cuz all I have is propane and that rarely is enough when oxy/acet is the order of the day. And it has been -20- -30 here lately. This is why I am considering a 2nd spare fuel sipper. In the end I think would offset the insurance and rest of assoc costs of running an extra vehicle, as I need a light tower and I need AWD for winter. Be great if I had a spare car and then could work on this when it warms up more. Just can't do it when it is this cold.
BMW Long-life rating LL-01 Approved Synthetic Oils for the US Market:
Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30
Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40
Pennzoil Platinum European Formula Ultra SAE 5W-30
Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30
Speaking just for myself, the only oil I've ever been able to find on a store shelf on that list was the Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40.
I've found similar labeled oil, but not exact matches.
In my case, I use official BMW Castrol oil purchased from the dealer in my BMW products. I can buy it for roughly the same price ($6.25/quart), and the dealership is only 8 miles from my house.
To me, it seems like a no brainier to do it that way, especially since I also buy the filter from the dealership.
Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30
Yep, notice it specifies the European formula, the Mobil 1 actually does as well and so does the Pennzoil.
Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40
Pennzoil Platinum European Formula Ultra SAE 5W-30
So that leaves Valvoline. You'll notice it listed as SynPower MST on the link Steve provided and that is correct, that Valvoline is approved by BMW. But is the one that you find in the parts store the one that is approved, or is it the North American version that is not?
Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30
All I can say is that, in my limited effort to find BMW approved alternatives, the only one that was a complete match (with the appropriate LL blah blah blah specifications was the Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40. (I'm not an oil expert, but I can match up letters and numbers from a label to a document denoting required parameters and specifications.)
I did find similar Pennzoil and Valvoline offerings, but as I recall, they didn't meet the BMW specifications and requirements.
Since I could buy the preferred BMW Castrol lube directly from a nearby dealer at a comparable price, I ceased looking at alternatives. I took the path of least resistance.
kyfdx Posts: 27,708Is this the list you found?
Is the Valvoline SynPower 5W30 listed the same one that you will find on the parts store shelf?
That was the list, and I did buy the Valvoline... Is it the same one? You tell me?
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
That was the list, and I did buy the Valvoline... Is it the same one? You tell me?
Hard to say, but I would say it isn't. Check out the link below.
Page one is the spec sheet for the ILSAC grades (aimed at the NA market), and page two is for non ILSAC grades (aimed at the European market). I'm guessing what you saw/bought was the oil spec'ed out on page one, and not the oil spec'ed out on page two. Only the oil spec'ed out on page two has the BMW LL-01 LL-04 designation.

Looking for a central location for a Texas vacation? Consider Austin. Its only one hour from San Antonio and the surrounding Hill Country, making it a good base for your explorations. We spent two days in Austin at the end of our Texas trip, just enough time to experience several of the citys family friendly highlights. First on the agenda was a visit to popular Barton Springs Pool. This spring- fed outdoor pool in Zilker Park is open for swimming year- round. Even in October there were still plenty of kids splashing in the shallow end. The grassy areas around the pool are great for soaking up the sun and people watching. An admission fee is charged during the warmer months.
After visiting Barton Springs, we took some time to explore Zilker Park itself. The kids enjoyed playing on the parks playscape before a ride on the Zilker Zephyr, a miniature train that travels past the creek and lake. There are concession stands in the park, but we ate at nearby Sandys Hamburgers, a drive-thru with great burgers and thick milkshakes. The seating here is limited, so you might want to bring your lunch elsewhere. Getting up to the Texas State Capitol took some leg work as its perched on a hill, but the ornate architecture of this massive building was worth the hike. Guided tours are available but we chose to just admire the exterior and the myriad sculptures and monuments around the landscaped grounds.
Our second day started with a few hours at one of Austins best places for young kids, the Austin Childrens Museum. The kids favorite exhibit was Global City, an exhibit dedicated to exploring the world of work. Theres a play restaurant (complete with counter seating and menus for parents), a train depot with a working model train (absolutely fascinating for our toddler), and a grocery store where our preschooler enjoyed filling up a basket with wooden food. The museum frequently has special events; we enjoyed a Dr. Seuss story time and made finger puppets from recycled materials. For kids over age four, the museum offers a unique three story slide.
Before packing up for home, we hit The BookPeople, to stock up on some new books for our flight home. Even our antsy toddler enjoyed shopping here; the childrens department is just wonderful. The last item on our Austin itinerary was dinner with the bats. March through October a large colony of Mexican freetail bats lives under the Congress Avenue Bridge. Each night at dusk, the bats fly out to hunt for insects. Its a justifiably popular sight. We made an evening of it by bringing along a picnic dinner from the local Whole Foods Market (which has a fantastic take-out selection). The grassy areas along Town Lake near the bridge were a convenient spot to sit and wait for the nightly spectacle to begin.

Flossmoor Mayor Paul Braun entered Sweet Annie's Bakery last Saturday on a mission.
"He was very adamant about not wanting to lose (the bakery)," owner Anne Aboushousha said. "He asked, 'What can we do?'"
Braun told Patch he's been hard at work trying to facilitate a rental agreement between Aboushousha and her current landlord Dean Armstrong so that she could keep her current shop. Last week, Aboushousha announced plans to move Sweet Annie's Bakery to Homewood. Despite the move, Aboushousha told Patch she was looking to keep the old Sweet Annie's open, should she reach agreeable terms with Armstrong.
A deal was reached Tuesday afternoon.
"We care very much about our businesses," Braun said. "The village has and will continue to assist in any way we can."
But Aboushousha says the community she loves is also largely to thank for her decision to stay. "The outpouring of Flossmoor residents really confirmed the commitment (Armstrong) has to the community," Aboushousha said.
Armstrong says he's excited to continue leasing his property to Aboushousha.
"(Sweet Annie's) is part of the fabric of the community," Armstrong said. "It adds to the vibrancy of downtown Flossmoor."
The current Sweet Annie's will be transformed into a scaled-down version catered especially to children. Aboushousha envisions edible arts and crafts during after-school hours and an old-time candy selection where kids of all ages can buy treats by the pound. The new Homewood location will function as a full-service bakery.
Aboushousha says she hopes to transition into the Homewood location some time near the beginning of March.

A five-member delegation recently returned from the West Bank where they witnessed first hand the economic conditions under which the Palestinians live. They learned about labor organizing in Palestine and pledged solidarity with the workers on behalf of the IWW. The delegation met formally with labor unions organizing under the Independent Federation of Unions in Palestine, the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions and the General Workers Union.
This workshop will spend a portion of the time reporting back on the state of the Palestinian labor movement, and the experience of the delegates. The second half of the workshop will be devoted to a discussion and strategy session for building a current within the U.S. labor movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions to pressure Israel to end its 60 year apartheid regime.

I write about economics, politics, media, business and film.
As the Steve Jobs era ends, it turns out that the famous Apple "1984" ad was more prescient than anyone suspected at the time. Except Steve Jobs wasn't the woman throwing the hammer. He was Big Brother — a high-tech giant revered by slackjawed multitudes from his domineering position on every video screen. And like Big Brother he was a spooky, weird control freak who cultivated not so much fans as thought-slaves.
Big Brothers love to unify us around their selves and their image. They love to make it look as though they, alone, are responsible for all good things. (Daimler makes some nifty products too — quick, picture its CEO. But you don't have an image of Jurgen Klummsdorf or Hans Sitzkrieg in your mind, do you? You don't even know the guy's name.) No, Steve Jobs didn't invent the iPod. And what is the iPhone except an iPod Touch that's been wired up? What's an iPad but a really big iPhone?
As with all tyrants, Jobs made the absurd seem routine. A few months ago I walked by my local Apple store — a gleaming transparent palace that looks like a drop of sweat from the gods frozen into a perfect ice cube as it fell to earth — and encountered a long line of what (in an only slightly different context) George Harrison termed the "Apple Scruffs." The ragged fanboys camped outside the headquarters of the Beatles' Apple Corps record label were now the wired-up, tech-drunk, expensively bespectacled masses of the strenuously clued-in. The iPad 2, was about to be released.
But not that day.
The new gizmo wasn't to be sold until the following day, yet the conformist crew was lining up nearly 24 hours in advance, with their folding chairs and their coolers, in order to have the privilege of throwing away a day's wages plus the cost of a device on something (if they were this devoted) they already possessed, albeit in a version a micron or two thicker and a supermodel's eyelash heavier. Also, the iPad 2 has cameras for video chatting – much like the cameras on the iPhones every Apple Scruff already possessed (and every minimally-improved version of which they had likewise queued for).
Across the street, where Best Buy would be selling exactly the same item at exactly the same price at exactly the same time, there was no cult, no fever, hence no line (and no wasted productivity). That's right: Fanatics would rather waste 24 hours advertising their zeal at an Apple store than simply walk into a Best Buy. Five hundred years ago, the Apple Scruffs would have been mortifying their flesh as a Jobs-like cleric urged them on.
In the 1984 commercial, Big Brother speaks of "a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests of any contradictory true thoughts." Can there be a better description of your local Apple store, with its fresh-faced armies of uniformed nerdbots kindly doling out status-defining electronic accessories to slavering coolhunters, than "a garden of pure ideology"? At the stores, the Cult of Jobs commands "Full loyalty, no negativity," said the headline of a recent Wall Street Journal story that also revealed that (as instructed in a hefty manual approximating the bulk of "The Marx-Engels Reader") that the maximum leader requires "intensive control of how employees interact with customers, scripted training for on-site tech support and consideration of every store detail down to the pre-loaded photos and music on demo devices."
Apple store workers are paid about the same as any retail sales clerks — nine to 15 bucks an hour — so why is Apple able to attract such a savvy work crew, the kind who couldn't even imagine themselves scanning cappuccino makers at Bed, Bath and Beyond? Because the kids are under the impression that making a good showing at an Apple store could lead to a job with corporate in Cupertino. This seems about as likely as the guy who sells pennants outside Yankee Stadium being tapped on the shoulder by Joe Girardi: "Grab a bat, you're pinch-hitting for Jeter."
I'm curious about your comment about Apple's share of magazine purchases:
"when selling magazine subscriptions on the iPad, demands a Vito Corleone-esque kickback of 30 percent and refuses to pass along vital subscriber information to the publishers"
If I were to sell a magazine at a news stand, a magazine publisher receives between 40-60% of the cover (probably a bit less due to returns and discards).
If I were to sell a magazine at a news stand, the publisher gets exactly 0% information about the purchaser from either the retailer or the distributer. It would be odd if I had to fill out information every time I bought a magazine at a store.
Your problem can't be that Apple is doing something unheard of, Apple actually gives you a better deal than what you get every single day at stores around the world.
The problem as I see it is that you want to treat online purchases like you do paper magazine subscriptions. Your customer information is a valuable resource which you can sell over and over again, treating your subscriber's privacy as a commodity to be traded.
Apple treats its customer's information as private, so you describe someone that gives you better prices for your magazine content than a corner store as "Vito Corleone".
Kyle I think you roundly deserve to be a nominee for the Stephen Glass Award for creative writing. Your mishandling of simple facts, your prose tired and a complete rehash of of the top ten criticisms leveled at Jobs and Apple for the last decade or so. Nothing original, nothing revelatory, just a relentless whiney diatribe that makes technology critics of Apple like Thurrott and Enderle look like polished objective writers by comparison. You caustically dismiss millions upon millions of consumers as "Apple Scruff", and so on. You are an embarrassment as a writer, Hopeless obtuse when it comes to analyzing business or technology, and if Carl Lavin paid you for that regrettable contribution, he should rescind that payment and kick you the curb. And if you try to excuse yourself with some weak-minded retort like, "well it's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it", you will close the book on the fact that you are being published well out of your league and need to be sent back to writing ad copy for a decade or so. Carl, if you hired this hack, I'm canceling a twenty-year subscription to the magazine, and blocking the website -there is absolutely no excuse for this pathetic level of writing from your publishing house.
Such bitter, bitter writing. It's not witty, you know Mr. Smith. Just a hefty serving of bile washed down with a tankard of Ipecac. Couldn't you have at least gotten the facts right?
Wow, another dim-witted, acrimonious, short-sighted tech pundit who hasn't the slightest clue what he's talking about (a dime a dozen, these days). Luckily, I won't have to subject comment readers with a scatterbrained diatribe, since The Macalope already said it best, and had a field day over the ass Mr. Smith calls a brain:
Jackass: "As the Steve Jobs era ends, it turns out that the famous Apple "1984" ad was more prescient than anyone suspected at the time. Except Steve Jobs wasn't the woman throwing the hammer. He was Big Brother…"
Macalope: "The Macalope wonders how hard Kyle Smith clapped himself on the back for that brilliant piece of keyboarding, one we've only seen from about 9000 other jerkbags in the last 10 years. "Apple has turned into the Big Brother it mocked! I AM A FRICKING GENIUS!"
Jackass: "And like Big Brother he was a spooky, weird control freak who cultivated not so much fans as thought-slaves."
Macalope: "As opposed to, say, those who are thought-slaves to lazy Apple tropes that absolve them from any obligation to think why someone might believe that Apple products are simply the better choice. No, it's just blind obedience to a cult.
It's astounding they keep writing this crap. You expect it from email@example.com, but Forbes?"
Jackass: "(Daimler makes some nifty products too—quick, picture its CEO. But you don't have an image of Jurgen Klummsdorf or Hans Sitzkrieg in your mind, do you? You don't even know the guy's name.)"
Macalope: "Uh, yeah, we also don't own a freaking Benz, you twit."
Jackass: "Steve Jobs didn't invent the iPod. And what is the iPhone except an iPod Touch that's been wired up? What's an iPad but a really big iPhone?"
Macalope: "What's a Benz if not a fancy Kia? What's a shoe if not a glorified sock? What's Edward R. Murrow if not Kyle Smith with integrity and talent?"
Me: I'm ashamed of Forbes for running the Technorati smegma that is this post. What's next Forbes? A column by Glenn Beck on why Steve Jobs is a Reptilian from the hollow earth? Wouldn't THAT just draw a lot of Webbed eyeballs for your advertisers?
Mr. Smith,
May I suggest you go back to do your Harry Potter reviews? Even though talking Steve Jobs would bring you some page views (ok. Maybe 10+ or 100+ or 1000+ fold than your other "reviews"). You need to study more, so go back to finish your Harry Potter readings…
Groupthink, Zombies, and Pretentious Genius:
I truly respect Steve Jobs for his small contribution to the personal electronics industry with the iPod, iPad and iPhone. Yeah, I've purchased and used Apple products — up until the late 90s when it came time for me to get some real work done beyond a clever "user experience."
So, let's not go overboard into iDolatry now that he's died. Let's not raise him above unhyped actual inventors and genuine technological innovators.
Once the media hype and dust settles, it will be abundantly clear to anyone who checks facts and the history of the past 30 years that Steve Jobs was only a "mastermind" at marketing inventions conceived, created and developed by real inventors and innovators — like Douglas Ingelbart, Chuck Peddle, and the many unheralded genuine geniuses at Xerox PARC and others around the world.
Unfortunately, there is a generation of consumers that have become uninformed Apple zombies, and believe that Jobs invented or perfected personal computing and entertainment — like P.T. Barnum invented magical midgets and sword swallowers. There is a big difference between invention and innovation, versus marketing and branding — Steve Jobs was a "genius" in the latter two tents.
Yes, it's true how the irony hits home, as portrayed in one of Apple's first TV commercials that presented a mass of "1984″ zombie-like slaves who had to be freed from big brother groupthink — though it appears that Apple consumers need to be emancipated from believing Apple makes the best and most open (a.k.a: actual user controlled and customized) devices for free thinking and creative users.
When they do a little homework and check the facts on the past and future of their gadgets, they'll stop buying into the groupthink corporate marketing hype that companies like Apple have branded and perfected — to near cult status.
True free thinkers and creative people don't iDol worship. Moreover, they know better not to annually waste money on the same brand of overpriced disposable consumer products — products that will not give them anymore of a better or enlightening user experience than a one knob small transistor radio.
Wow, it blows my mind to see how many mindless Big Brother numb-nuts are responding indignantly to your article: Hail Big Brother!, Hail Steve Jobs! How dare you desecrate our great leader…!!!
Some history on Steve Jobs-
from http://www.stevejobs.info/biography-of-steve-jobs.php :
"Nevertheless, he resumed working for Atari in his former capacity as a technician and was quickly involved with the video game Breakout.
Atari founder Nolan Bushnell was eager to reduce the number of computer chips that were used in the game's circuitry and he offered Steve Jobs $100 for every chip that he could discard from the machine's design. Jobs had very little experience in circuit design and frankly had no inclination to learn any more, so he turned to his friend Steve Wozniak for help. Jobs offered Wozniak half of whatever bonus money would be paid if Wozniak would work on optimizing the chip design. Wozniak performed the task admirably much to Atari's astonishment and when he was done with the redesign, they were able to reduce the number of chips in the circuitry by 50! In fact so exacting was Wozniak's design that his model was impossible to reproduce on the company's assembly line. For some reason, Jobs paid Wozniak only $350 for his work claiming that Atari had only paid them $700. Atari had in fact given Jobs $5000 for the work."
Obviously Steve Job was a crook. (And Steve Wozniak was the actual genius behind Apple.)
Anyway, the obsequious nature of many Americans never seizes to amaze me. What's even stranger is how Americans claim to be the most free people in the world while freely and happily submitting themselves to the will of the corporations. I guess that's why Americans do not get upset with people like Carly Fiorina (former CEO of Hewlett Packard) for being fired in 2005 with a golden parachute of more than $21 million, while a common man would get nothing but a kick in the @ss (the latter she did with a lot of HP employees during the failed HP-Compaq merger). She went on to become a well paid board member for several other companies. What's wrong with this picture…?
United states: Land of the free…?

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — When the United States signed treaties in the 1800s with Indians in the Grand Traverse area, the government made a deal — cede us vast amounts of land to be sold to settlers, and we will, in return, reserve thousands of acres to be used as tribal homelands, for the exclusive use by the tribes.
But according to the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, those promises were broken, and much of what was supposed to be tribal homeland was sold to settlers and lumber firms. The band has now announced its intent to sue the government for compensation.
"Despite those treaty protections, many 'reservation' lands were sold to non-Indians in violation of the treaty obligations," the tribe said in a document that seeks to answer questions about its planned claim.
Such a suit could cost federal taxpayers tens of millions of dollars — some have estimated it at $300 million (including interest) — to pay the tribe for roughly 87,000 acres in Leelanau and Antrim counties sold to non tribal members.
Tribal attorney John Petoskey said the tribe doesn't want to reclaim land from current owners, so property owners can rest easy. But tribal officials strongly believe members deserve to be made whole for what Petoskey described as illegal land transactions that violated an 1855 treaty.
"It was sold illegally by (federal) Indian agents to non-Indians," Petoskey said.
If the Band's claims can be verified — and no one seriously challenged their version of events as the tribe went through federal recognition efforts decades ago — the band was wronged. Instead of reserving those thousands of acres for tribal members, they were sold off to white settlers and lumber companies.
Over a 40-year period, the tribe said it lost virtually all of the 87,000 acres in question. The tribe said its money damage claim is based on the Fifth Amendment protection against the taking of private property without compensation.
Now, U.S. Rep. Dan Benishek, whose 1st Congressional district includes the entire Upper Peninsula and most of northern Michigan, including Antrim County, has introduced legislation on behalf of the tribe that would clear the way for it to file its suit.
While that hardly means the legislation will survive in Washington or that the tribe will win in court, Benishek deserves credit for doing the right thing.
There's little doubt that many of Benishek's constituents — and probably many of his colleagues in the U.S. House — will think that even the slim possibility that the band will prevail makes the whole idea crazy.
That likely goes double for Benishek's many tea party supporters, who oppose big government in general.
Benishek introduced H.R. 3068, which says the Secretary of the Treasury "shall pay, out of money not otherwise appropriated, to members of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan" an unspecified amount. House Resolution 335, also introduced by Benishek, would refer H.R. 3068 to the United States Court of Federal Claims "for a determination as to whether the tribe and its members have Indian trust-related legal or equitable claims."
Petoskey, the tribal attorney, argued that protection of private property rights is "a strong Republican value" and that the land was taken from the tribe.
That may be. But doling out $300 million at a time of a trillion-dollar federal deficit would give anyone pause, particularly House members eyeing the 2014 elections. Doing the right thing is too rarely seen as a reason to re-elect anyone to Congress, and there's little reason to believe that will be the case this time around.
The history of broken treaties between the U.S. government and American Indians is legend. And they were often — as appears to be the case here — broken with impunity and zero regard for the law, or with any sense of morality and ethics.
The Benishek legislation may be uncomfortable and may make a lot of people nervous for the precedent it could set in Michigan and around the country.
But ethically and morally, it's the right thing to do, and it deserves support from the rest of Michigan's House Delegation and U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow — if it ever gets that far.

PIERCE, NE - SEPTEMBER 28: Potential buyers look over the selection of classic cars and trucks before the start of the auction at the Lambrecht family farm on September 28, 2013 in Pierce, Nebraska. The cars, more than 500 total, from the Lambrecht Chevrolet Dealership will be sold at auction this weekend. When Ray Lambrecht, who ran the dealership with his wife Mildred for 50 years, would get in a new model year car he would put any unsold cars from the previous model year into storage along with any used car trade-ins that remained at the dealership for too long. Many were stored outdoors on the farm. These leftover cars along with dealership tools, parts and memorabilia will be sold at the auction. Many of the cars being offered at the auction have never been titled and have less than 20 miles on them. An estimated 10 to 12 thousand car enthusiasts from around the world are expected in Pierce, a town with a population of 1,700, for the auction. Bidders from about a dozen countries have already stared the bidding online at Proxibid.com (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Date: March 2-3, 2013
JR Mitch and JConcepts Pressure Points steal the show at the 2013 Bigfoot Extravaganza.
The 11th annual Bigfoot race held at Mikes Hobby Shop in Carrollton, TX, attracted racers from all over the country and with a total entry count of 247, it was the largest to date. JConcepts Team drivers JR Mitch and Cody Hollis were spectacular all weekend and with support from teammates Mike Stoll, Trevor Nault, Aaron Reynolds and Taylor Larsen, the team had the equipment to beat at Mike's famous track surface.
JR Mitch got things started by TQ'ing the 2wd SCT modified class and 2wd modified buggy class with the Pressure Points tires in green compound. Cody Hollis kept things rolling in the Racing Truck class by getting the TQ with his TLR 22-T also rocking the Pressure Points in green compound. The tricky conditions which relied on incredible forward bite but a slight amount of rotation to get all the corner speed possible out of the vehicles. Some drivers struggled to adapt, but JR and Cody had done their homework in years prior and returned to the annual event for a 3rd time, their previous experiences at the Bigfoot paid off and both JR and Cody were on point.
Sunday began the triple A-main events where JR easily took A1 and A3 in the SCT class to take the overall title. Cody Hollis battled for 3 mains to seal the victory in the Racing Truck modified class and was clearly the driver to beat in this class and on this particular weekend. 2wd modified was hard fought where JR easily took A1 but some mistakes, start miscues and tight racing turned the class into a 3 A-main battle. Kyle Skidmore emerged in A2 and A3 with victories earning the overall championship. JR Mitch finished 3rd in A3 and combined with his A1 victory finished 2nd overall. Both vehicles used the new Pressure Points tires to tame Mike's surface.
Congratulations to the JConcepts team drivers filling the A-mains and JR Mitch and Cody Hollis on their successful weekend.

|Men's Golf Preview: Bandon Dunes Champ.
Bandon Dunes Championship (Bandon, Ore.)
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - The Seahawks return to the west coast for the Band Dunes Championship hosted by Gonzaga this weekend, beginning on Mar. 8. UNCW is looking to wash away the bad taste of an eighth-place finish at the Del Walker in late February in Long Beach, Calif.
At the Del Walker, junior Payne McLeod led the Seahawks with a 24th-place finish while Thomas Bass and Dylan Harris tied for 35th overall. For Harris, it was his season debut. Stefan Brewer and Ryan Nagy finished 38th and 43rd, respectively.
Jumping into the Seahawk lineup this tournament is junior Josh Woodfox, who tied for 33rd at the Del Walker, playing as an individual. Washington boasts a pair of top-10 players in Cheng-Tsung Pan (third) and Trevor Simsby (eighth) and UCLA's Pontus Widegren is 11th nationally.
The field is a strong as Washington and UCLA are ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, by Golfweek, while Oregon checks in at 49.
"This is another strong tournament and one that we're looking forward to competing in," said UNCW Head Coach Matt Clark. "Things didn't go well in the opener and we want to put that behind us. We've done a good job in the past in learning from mistakes and progressing."

Here comes Santa Claus times three — with an elf.
It's all part of the fun as Three Rivers Museum presents "The Singing Santas" at 7 p.m. Saturday and Dec. 15 and 2:30 p.m. Sunday and Dec. 16.
Admission is $10 with proceeds benefiting the museum. You also can have your photo taken with Santa for $5. A tour of the museum is included. Seating is limited to 50. Refreshments will be served at intermission.
"The Singing Santas" tells the story of Kris Kringle through songs, stories and multi-media. The two-act show, featuring familiar favorites and original songs, brings the jolly old elf to life starting with his early days as St. Nicholas and journeying through the transformation to modern Santa Claus.
Museum director Sue Tolbert came up with the idea and shared it with museum volunteer Michael Dunn, a voice and piano teacher. He started working on a selection of music and narration in August.
The three singing Santas are Dunn, Billy Gardner and Jeremy Jones. Forest Collins, the elf, is the accompanist.
Nate Tolbert, Tolbert's grandson, has put together the multi-media show that will start 20 minutes before the Santas sing, using photos and video clips of Christmases in Muskogee from years past. One is of Santa delivering gifts in 1898. Some of the photos are from the museum archives collected by Roger Bell, chairman of the museum board.
"It's an event that will put you in the Christmas spirit — don't miss it," Dunn said. "From shopping woes to holiday burnout, children's letters to the true meaning of Christmas, audiences will be entertained."
The show starts with "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" with the Santas doing some "corny dances" and will end with some sacred song selections like "O Holy Night" and the reading of the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke. At the end, the audience will sing along with "Silent Night" while two of the Santas sing "Peace, Peace."
"'Silent Night' is the ultimate Christmas song," Dunn said.
He believes like "Silent Night" and "Jesus Loves Me" are the two most important songs we need to know.
While guests are at the museum, Tolbert hopes they will reminisce about their childhood with the old toys and decorations while leaning about Muskogee's history. The museum celebrates the area's history in the restored 1916 Midland Valley Depot. The museum has different exhibits featured from the water and railroad trader history of the Three Forks area. A Christmas tree in the corner of the railroad area will have ornaments related to trains.
A doll from the Singer Sewing Center store front in the 1950s, a rocking horse from 1940s and a dolphin that belonged to Bell from the 1960s are just a few of the toys you'll see. The toys are under a Christmas tree in the lobby. The ornaments on the tree are old, too.
The museum has 22 lighted trees, rows of garland and red ribbon, snowflakes hanging from the ceiling and several large groupings of Christmas villages. The villages are on loan from Janie Riddle. They belonged to her mother, the late Frances Ashwood. There's a downtown with billboards, a neighborhood with tiny bicycles, a school and church.
In another area of the museum, "Miss Alice's Parlor" has a life-size mannequin. She is formed to be hanging an ornament on a tree. Old toys are on a piano given to the museum from Hyde Park Baptist Church that no longer meets. Tolbert said Alice Robertson was the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress in 1920 from Oklahoma and only the second in the nation. She was 66. She also was the first woman postmistress.
"The decorating looks great," said Tolbert who has worked at the museum six years. "This is the best the museum has looked at Christmastime. I'm excited about 'The Singing Santas.' I heard them rehearse and they are really good."
It's a first-time event for the museum.
"I think it will speak to people this season," Dunn said.
