Decorating for the holidays is something I look forward to every year. Right after Thanksgiving, Michael and I jump right on sprucing up the house for Christmas. But probably my favorite part of decorating is finding ways to make things "my own".
Growing up, we didn't have a lot, so we learned to make the best out of what we had. I remember when Jamie and Bobby were still in grade school, I would take glass jars, wrap them in ribbons and fill them with homemade candies for them to take for their teachers. I don't like to brag, but I think their teachers appreciated having something that took a little bit of extra time and love.
I try to keep the same idea in mind when I'm decorating my home. If you can believe it, I've held on to so many of the homemade ornaments and decorations that Jamie and Bobby have made throughout the years. They're the prettiest and most special decorations that I own. And now with three grandsons that are growin' up like weeds, I know that my collection of decorations made by little hands is only going to get bigger.
That's why when Brandon, my Creative Director, showed me how to make these homemade wreaths I knew that I would have to put them all over my house. His wreaths are absolutely gorgeous, and you're not going to believe just how easy they are to make. Y'all, if I can do it, then you can do it too! I think the best part of making them is that your house is going to smell like fresh greens all winter.
Last year, I decided to make these dried apple garlands and
kissing balls. I had to stop myself from eating the decorations; they all smelled and looked so good! I don't know about y'all, but there's just something so warm and cozy about stepping into a house that's filled with homemade touches.
And for gifts, every year I choose some of my homemade gifts from the kitchen to give to friends and family. I hate the idea of going out and shopping to find the biggest and newest gifts. To me, that's not what the holidays are all about. Why not try and bring a smile to your loved ones' faces with a bottle of homemade dressing, vanilla extract, or just a tin of beautifully wrapped cookies?
Have y'all decorated your homes yet for the holidays? What kind of special decorations and ornaments do you own or make? I'd love to hear about them!Read More From Holidays and Entertaining.

By Betty C Colvin on December 04, 2012
My family has already started on decorating. Almost done. We get a real tree every year. This year I made our wreath cause it seems now days that the wreaths from walmart and some other places are way over priced and not pretty at all. I actually decided this year to make them for all my aunts, uncles and friends as gifts I would say my most special decorations are the ones my kids bring home from school every year and the ones my aunt and grandma has made and given me. Last year the kids and I started making Cinnaman and applesauce ornaments. We attached them to gifts and put some on our tree. They smell so good and have kept there smell all year.

By colleen on December 20, 2011
our family's favorite collection of homemade decorations are my grandmother's hand crafted ceramic pieces. she had her own kiln in the basement and hundreds of molds and every holiday she had something ceramic made for each of us. particularly a napkin holder and table peices. christmas was her favorite though, she made snowmen, three different navity scenes, christmas trees with the lights and of course the napkin holders. they are so precious to all of us. she's been gone now since 1998 and everyone misses her deeply but we all have special moments and special memories we can remember every time we see one of her ceramic pieces she loved to make for us all. they truely allow us to see her at the holidays too right with us again. i agree with you those homemade gifts are really special good luck with your dr. oz cigarette challenge. happy holidays and all the best to you and yours thru the holidays and the next year. thanks for sharing your cooking knowledge with us too.
By stephanie kinnett on December 12, 2011
Hi Paula, I too cherish all the homemade ornaments that my children have made. One year, my oldest son and I hand painted ceramic "Smurfs" and to this day his Smurf holds a place of honor on the tree! The time spent together was the thing I loved the most! Merry Christmas!
By thelma craig on December 10, 2011
Paula I was raised in Ozarks of Arkansas, my Aunt mary use to start her holiday baking day after thanksgiving. she made the best peanut butter fudge and would save the pretty boxes a friend of ours gave cheese in as her son was a big ceo with kfaft. makes me think of the loving gifts u had the boys give their teachers. she would wrap it for my teachers at Lutheran school. this year i am having knee surgery week of Christmas- my son and family we usually spend holidays with are going to Disney World- so i will probably try some of your Smithfield spiral ham, maybe crunchy onion rings i watched u and Michael and his friend Jimmy make today and Brooke;s Mee-Maw;s cookies. A blessed Merry Christmas to u and your loving family. Rosie in Ct.

During a Christmas cooking show at your house please show your house. I would love to see it and your Christmas decorations. It's just fun to see where you live. We traveled to Savannanh 2009 and ate at your restaurant. We didn't have time to eat at Bubba's but next time we plan to. We loved Sanavvah the downtown parks were beautiful especially with the moss hanging from trees. Food was great I have NEVER liked greens before but your on your buffet were good. Our young black male waiter was so nice. I was hoping you or the boys would be their but no such luck. I wanted to meet you so bad. Have a Mery Christmas and May God Bless you and your family. I wanted a autographed cookbook. Maybe next time you will be available.

By Tennille Farris on December 06, 2011
Paula - I don't know if you will really get this but I hope you do. I just saw you on Dr. Oz. I have watched you for years and have also enjoyed watching Dr. Oz (you're right, he's sooooo handsome). So when I saw that you were on his show, I knew it would be a special episode. I was shocked to hear you are a smoker. Mostly because your skin looks so beautiful and usually smokers have "uky" skin. I was a smoker for many years until a little over 2 years ago. I have to tell you, when you said you wanted to quit because of your grandchildren, you made me cry. The day my beautiful grandaughter turned 2 I went to her birthday party and watched her run around, greet her guests, open her presents, blow out her birthday candles, and play with the other children, I knew right then that I needed to quit. So I just wanted to share with you that the patches didn't work, cold turkey didn't work, bla bla. I was hypnotized, not in a group session, but in a private office. The woman was amazing and the whole session was geared just to me. Being hypnotized was so relaxing and when I walked out of there I felt so good. I have not smoked again and I have no desire. Two weeks after this I went away with 10 of my best friends and 5 of them smoked. Being around them didn't even phase me. I just wanted you to know this because, for some reason, I think this would work for you. I hope you find this helpful and I pray that you too will be a non-smoker and enjoy many years with YOUR grandchildren. Fondly, Coreen

Greetings everyone!
I picked up a near mint condition Canon AE-1 Program for $100 a couple of days ago. Also started developing my own black and white, I'll post up my results later once I get a decent scanner. For now, I want to show off my new member.
Came with:
24mm f/2.8
50mm f/1.4
50mm f/1.8
80-200mm F/4
188A Flash and Charger
Manual and Case
A real steal I think, if I pick up an OM-D I may grab an adapter as well. I wish Canon would produce a body similar to this, it's everything I want in a digital camera. This was shot with the 50mm F/1.8 II and EOS 1000D.
P.S. Does anyone know if the 188A would work on my Rebel?
That's why I ordered a Fuji X100s. The Canon EOS-M chassis and AF speed are so crappppy

Had an email about 3 weeks ago saying everything had passed, and would be available on OVI within 7 days, but I still can't find my app when I search for it. I make sure I've picked a phone that is compatible, but with no avail. How do I solve this ?

- Way to noisy!AmelieDined on 8/24/2014The food is delicious but unfortunately the noise level is so high that you can barely appreciate your meal! The music is loud and people are not talking to each other they are screaming!
- alisVIPDined on 8/24/2014The food was really good. A few things that soured our brunch. The tables are a bit small bc they put so many things on it its hard to fit the food. There was the flower pot, the sugar... They were not willing to make any exceptions which is a bit unfortunate. Not the biggest deal but a lot of their eggs have meat and I asked for vegetable swap and the waiter said that they would not do it during brunch. he did not even ask. the worst part was the service. they forgot our app all together and then flaked on the responsibility and then we said we still wanted it and brought something we didn't ask for and didn't bring what we wanted. the absolute worst part was that when they finally brought a version of it they charged us for it!Special Features:
- Terrible ServiceCarRabDined on 8/22/2014I ate at Barbounia on Friday night and got there fairly early so there weren't many customers there yet (around 6:30). I sat for 20 minutes before flagging down someone to give me water. After another 20 more minutes, I had to flag down a waiter. The service was poor, they never asked if we wanted another glass of wine or brought our main entrée. After waiting for quite a while for anyone to come over to us, we flagged a waiter down again and told him our food never came and we wanted the check. He didn't even apologize. The manager came over and apologized but it meant nothing after spending money for a meal/dining experience that we did not enjoy.Special Features:
- Solid food but perhaps too loudELNMDined on 8/21/2014Dined with a friend on a Thursday night and was overwhelmed by the noise level. The music and subsequent need for diners to shout made conversation really difficult. Solid food. Warm bread to start and generous portions of the octopus puttanesca pasta. Skipped dessert as it was quite limited to dairy/ creamy items. Attentive service all through.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very HAPPY hourandreasiVIPDined on 8/19/2014Best Happy Hour deal in Flatiron - extensive and delicious $6 drinks till 7pm. Accompanied by the cheese plate and hummus and dips/breads, it's a homerun. Love their lunch salads too.Special Features:
- Very good but too expensiveYvetteDined on 8/16/2014Good quality food. Menu was different than most. Good ambience. Overpriced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!SUNRAESDined on 8/15/2014The desserts left me in a food coma of happiness. So during restaurant week this place exceeded it already great reputation. Unlike other restaurants whereby the menu deteriorates, this definitely deserves a standing ovation. Sublime! The squid salad, and watermelon feta....its a winner!Special Features:
- Annoying Waiter, But Great FoodAngieQVIPDined on 8/13/2014We dined during restaurant week and I was very impressed with the menu choices! The food was beautifully presented and very delicious. One of the waiters-not our main, kept coming by every couple minutes to fill water or try to take or drinks away, though it was obvious that we weren't finished. I am not sure what the problem was, but I had to ask him if he needed us to leave. He slowed down after that. I must add that it was already almost 10pm and there were empty tables so I don't know why he was so anxious. Perhaps he didn't have enough tables to serve!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mediocre ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/11/2014Expensive night out for very mediocre food and service. Ambiance and wine list were good, everything else left a lot to be desired. Main course (black sea bass) was inedible. Plenty of other god options in the area, was sorry I wasted it on this place.
- 2 times outa 3 can't be badLacetasteDined on 8/8/2014I've been here twice before and experienced great food and overall service although the plates aren't large for the price. The issue I had this last time was a one off since we did the restaurant week menu tasting. Terrible. Cheapest things on the menu and when I didn't eat the server asked if ok after the 3rd time of pretending not to notice and I said it was not really good. He said oh I'm sorry and walked away. Thankfully the bus boy had some table side manners and asked me what else I would like. Entire restaurant meal was terrible but everything else on menu is good so beware!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious foodRandiVIPDined on 8/8/2014Pleasantly surprised. Great bread, great spreads, great desserts. I ordered salmon which was delish. We all cleaned our plates. Won't be disappointed.Special Features:
- Great Lunch SpecialPPluvsfoodDined on 8/7/2014Tried Barbounia during restaurant week. Great menu for a snack or full meal. Grilled Calamari salad was fresh and delicious. Calamari was perfectly grilled an tender. Salmon entree was perfectly cooked and presentation was photo-worthy. Pannacotta was also very beautiful however flavor of rose water was a bit overpowering. Great place for a light, healthy meal in a cool location.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not goodAPChefVIPDined on 8/3/2014Came here for brunch. Loud, crowded, food was really bland and underwhelming. Service was indifferent. We ordered unlimited brunch drinks, but couldn't stand being in there long enough to take advantage.
- Horrible ServiceFoodie52VIPDined on 8/3/2014Would give zero stars if Open Table allowed. Had 10:00 am reservations on Sunday, 3 August. We will the first to arrive. We were the only people in the restaurant and at 10:30 am walked out due to no service. Whole staff was eating breakfast and ignored us. I managed to get a cup of coffee and they charged me for it. Hostess took my $5.00, for a $2.71 charge for the coffee, but couldn't find anyone who had change. Should have been free coffee. No apologies for the hostess, or manager, or any of the the wait staff who were too busy eating their breakfast. If they don't serve at 10:00 am, then they should not accept 10:00 am reservations on Open Table. Will never go again. Menu didn't look that great anyway.
- Food was Amazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/2/2014The food is so delicious that I cannot wait to revisit...
- Generally Very GoodHartsdaleDined on 8/1/2014With the exception of one entree, the Restaurant Week meal was excellent. One entree,
- CarolinaDined on 8/1/2014Recommended to me by a collegue, I was told the food was really good. When we went how pleasantly surprised to find a very lively, lovely & ecletic place right in the heart of Park Ave South!The bar was jumping and the music brought back pleasant memoriesof my travels to Turkey and the Middle East. The food was divine. The wild mushroom pizza was so delicious I could have closed my eyes and thorught I was dining in Little Italy or brooklyn. The pizza was insane! The watermelon salad was a wonderful surprise. None of my party ever experienced such a salad before. I would go back in a heartbeat and order the same thing again. And the Silan. Forgettabout it! Just indulge!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, but...larklavanDined on 7/31/2014Maybe it was just because of Restaurant Week, but the waiter rushed us through the meal, as if he wanted optimum turnover at the table. Understandable, since they probably had extra reservations and more dough coming in, but still annoying.
- Service lackingOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/31/2014We were a party of 8 from an office at Baruch College. The occasion was the birthday and retirement of one of our colleagues. There had been plenty of time between the arrival of our party and our ordering lunch for the server to have put in an order for bread and olives for the table. Tables seated after us got bread and mezze; we received nothing. I asked the busboy to please bring bread. Nothing. I asked the server when our bread was coming. The reply I received was that he had just put in an order for bread and it should be coming right out. As our appetizers arrived and there was still no bread, I called over the hostess who asked what we ordered. Ordered? It's bread for the table! Basic. No apology was issued or accommodation made.
- My Second time @ BarbouniaalexDined on 7/30/2014I love the food in this place! The appetizers are a must - spicy feta!!, humus! and the eggplant are fabulous!Special Features:
- Restaurant week findbdurnwaldDined on 7/28/2014My friend suggested Barbounia during restaurant week. IT was a great experience on all fronts. The service was warm, friendly and attentive. Each dish was unique and delicious.Special Features:

- Good cocktailsDineoutDined on 7/25/2014The drinks were great but the food was nothing special. I got the sea bass and it was breaded and tasted spongy. Vibrant atmosphere. Next time I'll just go for drinksSpecial Features:
- Great Spotmls515Dined on 7/23/2014Barbounia has delicious drinks, seafood, and a great assortment of small plates to share and the best ambience in the area!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Love2eatoutVIPDined on 7/22/2014Very good Mediterranean food. Nice selection of small plates and salads.Special Features:
- Nice surpriseFrequentdinerVIPDined on 7/22/2014I have worked in this neighborhood for 25 years and never tried this restaurant. great lunch, high energy. Will make this a regular spot to dine.Special Features:
- UnderwhelmingshapgoDined on 7/21/2014Although the ambianca was nice and the service was fine, the food was not exceptional. It was overseasoned and the sauces were too strong when they needed to complement the spicy dishes. The Restaurant Week menu was not worth it and you are better off ordering off the main menu.
- friendly and delicious food!Luv2eatDined on 7/20/2014This restaurant started off rocky for me but has continued to improve with every visit. I have been here six times and although the menu was always good, the service was not. I am happy to say that the service is so good now I can't believe it is the same staff! Very nice and pleasant, just way too loud for a conversation, especially at dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingperfectDined on 7/19/2014I was on a first date that COULDN'T have been better. Everything was perfect. Food, drinks, wine, service, ambiance all amazing!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!Shoegal21Dined on 7/18/2014Great mix of different mediterranean foods... you have Greek, Turkish, Indian and more. Their bread is amazing!! Appetizers: the shrimp is delicious and has such a great spice to it, the cigars are good too (fried) and the octupus was good. The lamb & scallops were great! Nice ambience & serviceSpecial Features:
- Amazing Lunch PlaceFoodieVIPDined on 7/17/2014Didn't expect the food to be so amazing, as I've seen this place so many times in the neighborhood and decided to give it a try for lunch. Absolutely loved it, great food, great service. Would recommend highly!Special Features:

- Excellent breakfast!isabella22Dined on 6/22/2014the side order of turkey bacon was our biggest surprise. Dont miss out the pancakes, they are delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful restaurant, solid foodeggplantandtrufflesDined on 6/19/2014Great for a group. We shared the five dips (served with amazing bread) and a bunch of small plates. Cocktails were delicious but outrageously overpriced (food too), but that's pretty standard for this neighborhood. A bit of a scene as well (also to be expected from this neighborhood). Would recommend for a fun night out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely AND great serviceEmilyzhDined on 6/15/2014Trendy NYC restaurants so often have snobby service. How refreshing at Barbounnia! It's a pretty place with high ceilings, and a clean, open feeling. Food was fresh, and different - lamb kebobs came baked under the pita, tangine style, keeping them delightfully spicy and moist. The octopus appy was crisp and popping. Oven baked chicken had a very crisp skin. The Greek style cheesecake was a ricotta/mozzeralla mix, baked in a thin sandwich of phyllo pastry covered in rose water and pistachios with ice cream - exceptionall. But the service was really what separates Barbounnia from others. It was Father's Day, we were with our own (messy) dad, and there were others with wheelchairs, or walkers, and they were so kind and attentive. TSpecial Features:
- My flute runneth over!MatteoDined on 6/14/2014Great spot for what I like to think of as the quintessential NYC boozy brunch. Actually, Barbounia takes it up a notch and does it a little classier than many of the other typical spots. I actually like the champagne they use and the staff all have heavy generous, flexible wrists. Recently celebrated a birthday brunch here and it was a great time. Cant go wrong with the croque madame, calamari, or burger.Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 6/12/2014Went for lunch. Found the portions to be amazingly small--not talking a lunch special---we ordered entrees. The octopus was subpar with a nasty odor. Wine pours were small as well. Ambiance was great, nice energy. But if the food doesn't rate, Im never coming back
- DeliciousEmily91Dined on 6/5/2014We came here for our anniversary and weren't disappointed! It's definitely a louder, more lively place, but it's a great vibe, the food is delicious, and the service was excellent. I've been before and would definitely come back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

With plenty of studded denim, heavy metal chains, bandeaus, and bandanas, Versace models walked the runway to the soundtrack of Nine Inch Nails.

Ryan Dempster got shelled by the Angels in his Rangers debut, allowing eight earned runs over just 4⅔ innings.
The Rangers acquired Dempster at the trade deadline for two minor-league players, hoping he would solidify their starting rotation and help them hold off the Angels and Athletics in the AL West. So far, so not good.
Dempster got off to a rocky start, allowing a leadoff double to Mike Trout to start the game. Trout scored on an Albert Pujols sacrifice fly before Mark Trumbo launched a home run to make it 2-0 Angels. Dempster breezed through the second inning 1-2-3, and the Rangers scored five runs in the bottom of the inning.
Heading into the top of the third inning, Dempster held a 6-2 lead and was looking to cruise to his first Texas win. Instead, it all came crashing down. Los Angeles scored one in the third on a Pujols double. The wheels really came off in the top of the fourth inning. Kendrys Morales led off with a solo home run, Alberto Callaspo scored on a ground-out, and Torii Hunter drove in two more on a double.
Dempster allowed another run in the fifth on a Morales double before being replaced. In all, Dempster allowed eight runs on nine hits while walking three and striking out six. The good news, though? The Rangers pounded a parade of Angels pitchers on their way to a 15-9 victory, extending their lead in the West to 4½ games over the Athletics, and five over the now-third-place Angels.

Albert Pujols hasn't yet signed with the St. Louis Cardinals or anybody else, but what we know about the Pujols negotiations is that the Miami Marlins are out. They made their push Tuesday, and it didn't work, so they were removed from the running. Immediately after word spread that the Marlins were out on Pujols, there were rumors that they were turning their attention to Prince Fielder. You know - that other free agent first baseman who is amazing.
But! Here we have Clark Spencer and Joe Capozzi. Spencer is the Marlins beat writer for the Miami Herald. Capozzi is the Marlins beat writer for the Palm Beach Post. It stands to reason that Spencer and Capozzi probably know about the Marlins' plans better than most. And:
Beat writers have been wrong before, obviously, but this certainly sounds definitive. No sources. No whispers. Just flat-out declarations.
Surely Scott Boras wouldn't just use the Marlins' name to try to drive up the price for his most-prized free agent, would he?
The Marlins have signed Heath Bell, Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle. They're working on C.J. Wilson. Prince Fielder? It doesn't look like the Marlins are chasing Prince Fielder. Even though to chase Prince Fielder would be [deleted, fat joke]

Robert Langmuir African American Photograph Collection
The Collection
A rare collection of more than 10,000 photographs depicting African American life from the late 19th and early 20th centuries has been acquired by Emory University's Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library (MARBL) from photo collector Robert Langmuir of Philadelphia.
The images range from the 1840s – the beginning of photography – to the 1970s, with most of the photos falling in the post-Civil War to pre-World War II era. They include nearly every format, from daguerreotypes to snapshots, and cover a wide range of subject matter. A number of the photos were taken by African American photographers, a topic in itself.
The photos are of both ordinary people and well-known names of the times, such as newspaper editor and early civil rights activist William Monroe Trotter, black nationalist Marcus Garvey, sculptor Selma Burke, blues musicians Howlin' Wolf and Lightnin' Hopkins, Pearl Harbor hero Dorie Miller, and religious leaders Noble Drew Ali, Father Divine and Bishop Elmira Jeffries, among many others.
Robert Langmuir
Growing up in Philadelphia in an African American neighborhood, Robert Langmuir has been interested in black history for most of his life. A rare-book seller for 35 years, he's collected photos and family albums through antique book shows or ephemera fairs, auctions and networking.
You can search the collection through the online finding aid.
Parts of the collection will be available digitally to the public soon.

I found letters to friends, relatives and lovers. Reading the letters was like having a window into the hearts and minds of the writers. I was fascinated.
According to the website for Emily Dickinson "...She distinguished herself as a writer of letters, which she regarded as a 'joy of Earth' (L960). Cryptic and allusive in style, dazzling in verbal effects, and sensitively attuned to her recipients, Dickinson was a prolific and gifted epistolary artist."
It occurred to me that letter writing is a lost art form these days. I thought back trying to think of the last time I'd written a personal letter. I couldn't remember.
One of the not-so-good things about the Internet is that the quality of communication has, for the most part, deteriorated.
These days, most people send emails, texts or a comment on Facebook and call it communicating. I'm as guilty as anyone in this regard.
The down side to this form of communication is that it rarely takes much thought.
Granted, not all communications require:
My Dearest Friend, I hope this email finds you in good health and lofty spirits; "But C U 2Nite XXXOOO," is a bit thin, wouldn't you agree?
When I was in the Army, I wrote letters daily, and I couldn't wait for mail call each morning. There's nothing like going to the mailbox, reaching in and pulling out a hand-addressed envelope with a letter or handwritten card from a dear friend.
I have a box in my office where I keep the hand-written letters I receive, and from time to time, I open up the box, pull out a letter, and read it. The words are richer and seem to come alive each time I read them.
When's the last time you felt like that when reading an email or text? When Jilda and I were working on the things we wanted to accomplish this year, one of the things we both wrote, without conferring before hand, was to write cards and letters to those people that mean a great deal to us in our lives.
This morning when we headed out for a doctor's visit, we both had letters in our hand.
"Bills?" I asked. "No, I'm sending cards to some of our friends," she said. Mine was a letter to an old Army buddy I haven't communicated with in 20 years.
A hundred years from now when people look through the artifacts of our lives, I'm not sure they'll be as impressed with my words as I am with the words of Mark Twain, Emily Dickinson and Willa Cather, but still I hope readers, when they read my words, get a sense of how much friendship means to me.
Do yourself a favor and writer a letter to a friend today.

Editor: What happened to that new thread from yesterday?
Original post made by Lorraine Sparaco on Mar 6, 2007
Today I wanted to read it again and it's nowhere to be found.Where is it? Can the author of a thread rescind it? Or can you point me to where it's now located? I believe I found it in "Palo Alto Issues", but could have been in "Palo Alto Schools and Kids".
on Mar 6, 2007 at 1:10 pm
Is there anyone else out there out there who saw this thread? Surely, I wasn't dreaming. Can someone else verify that it was there?
on Mar 6, 2007 at 2:26 pm
I saw it. Can't find it now.
on Mar 6, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Is it the one titled "Charter School at All Costs"? If so, it's still there (or there again -- I just saw it).

Qt 4.7 Preview for N900
Qt developers have packaged a preview for the upcoming version 4.7 of the toolkit for the Maemo N900 smartphone. The software packages are intended for developers.
The announcement came from Qt developer Harald Fernengel in his blog, based on the many requests that came in from those who want to be on the "bleeding edge" of Qt technology. The Qt Maemo 5 source code repository now has the 4.7-fremantle branch for the purpose. Coworkers at Qt Labs also built Debian packages for Maemo 5 that can be downloaded by using wget on the command line.
Fernengel includes a small disclaimer: "This is a tech preview" intended exclusively for developers who want to try out new features. Also, the installation overwrites any existing Qt 4.6 files. All necessary links and commands are in the Qt Labs blog.

MT. VERNON – District 80's Head Start Program is being reduced by 32 slots due to federal sequestration cuts.
This means next school year 32 students will be put on a waiting list instead of taking part in the program. Also, the district will be unable to hire a replacement for retiring Head Start teacher Ruthie Hudson because of the lack of funding.
"We anticipate losing 32 student slots," said District 80 Superintendent Mike Green. "Because of the less money we'll have with the grant, we'll be able to educate less students and those students will now go on a waiting list."
The District 80 Board of Education discussed the sequestration issue at Wednesday night's meeting.
Lori Given, principal of the Dr. Andy Hall Early Childhood Center, gave a detailed presentation on the state of the Head Start Program, which provides educational services to low-income children and their families.
"There just have been a lot of changes over the past year," Given said.
Given said the 32-slot reduction is "regrettable" but that the decrease in funding makes it necessary.
Also on Wednesday, the board approved the 2013-2014 school calendar. The most notable change for next school year is that District 80 will be starting the year two weeks later than usual because of the Casey Middle School expansion.
Teachers and aides will come back on Aug. 29 and the students will begin after Labor Day on Tuesday, Sept. 3, Green said.
"Because of the Casey expansion, we're going to need pretty well the month of August to get ready for the students," Green said.
In addition Wednesday, the board formally approved its amended $20 million budget, which came within 1 percent of the original projections, Green said.
"It's been a very good year on the budget," Green said.
Other board actions Wednesday included:
n Approval of a three-year agreement with Bushue Human Resources, Inc., which provides legal advice to the district.
n Approval of a measure to install security cameras at the Primary Center.
n Hearing of a report on the Talented and Gifted (TAG) program.
n Discussion of a new hands-on science program for second and third graders to be implemented next school year.

House lawmakers said Wednesday that they plan to introduce legislation to address issues with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Representatives Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, Jim Costa of California, Steve Womack of Arkansas and Peter Welch of Vermont say they will introduce the Renewable Fuel Standard Reform Act to help ease concerns created by the ethanol mandate and protect consumers, energy producers, livestock producers, food manufacturers, retailers and the U.S. economy.
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association and National Pork Producers Council are urging Congress to reform the biofuels mandate. The two groups called on lawmakers to make changes to the RFS last fall after the Environmental Protection Agency chose not to waive the biofuels mandate in response to the drought. NCBA and NPPC want a reform bill that ensures market stability, feed availability and the long-term sustainability of rural American economies. NCBA Policy Vice Chair Craig Uden says cattlemen and women are self-reliant. But in order to maintain that - he says they cannot be asked to compete with federal mandates like the RFS for the limited supply of feed grains. According to NPPC President Randy Spronk - it's clear something is broken and needs to be fixed when the EPA can't provide a temporary waiver of the RFS during the worst drought in 70 years to assure adequate feed and food supplies. Both NCBA and NPPC point out that the RFS mandates that 13.9-billion gallons of corn-based ethanol be blended into gasoline. They say that amount will use about 4.9-billion bushels of corn - or about 40-percent of the nation's crop.
Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen says the motivation behind the Renewable Fuel Standard Reform Act is backwards, silly, circular logic. He says the bill guts the only program that has successfully opened the market to these new technologies - lowering our dependence on imported oil and reducing the consumer price of gasoline; does nothing to end the billions in subsidies to Big Oil while denying market access to E15; and handcuffs the commercialization of cellulosic and advanced biofuels by removing the forward-looking, market-driving provisions of the original legislation. According to Dinneen - this legislation will scare away investors and says nothing undermines next generation innovation like uncertainty. Advanced Ethanol Coalition Executive Director Brooke Coleman called the measure a smokescreen for going after the one alternative fuel and the one policy that has fundamentally disrupted oil industry control of the marketplace while saving consumers money at the pump.

Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush is expected to play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, according to NFL Network's Adam Schefter.
Bush missed practice on Friday with a right leg injury after not having any issues the rest of the week, telling reporters later that he did not participate due to precautionary reasons. It was expected at the time he'd be ready to play on Sunday and that the injury was not considered to be serious.
The veteran running back has become the key to the Lions' rushing attack, with Bush giving the Detroit offense a dangerous dynamic on top of the combination of Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson. In his first season with the Lions, Bush has 426 yards and one touchdown on 98 attempts, but has proven to be a formidable weapon through the air. In just six games, Bush has 34 receptions for 305 yards; his 13.3 average yards per reception is easily the best of his career.

For the first half of the opening match of Euro 2012, Greece looked sort of like you'd expect them to. When a defensive team can't defend, they're in trouble, and Poland ran riot. Then, down to ten men and forced to attack, they found something deep inside themselves. Something that approximated a football team. Sure, they only earned a point and they probably should have won, but it was a point against the hosts and an impressive comeback, one which should give Fernando Santos' side some confidence heading into their match against the Czech Republic.
Confidence, incidentally, that the Czech will not be feeling. Although they were nominally in the game against Russia for most of the second half, in truth they were flattered by a 4-1 scoreline, the only thing sparing their blushes being Alexsandr Kerzhakov's wayward finishing. They were reasonably competent in the midfield, but the back line was frankly depressing, and even against Greece you should expect it to leak chances, if not as many goals as against Andrei Arshavin and company.
It's difficult to see how the Czech Republic can fix this, apart from magically getting better. Greece, meanwhile, might be able to staunch their defensive issues by replacing both starting centre backs. They'll have to - Avraam Papadopoulos is out of the tournament with a knee injury, and Sokratis Papastathopoulos is suspended for not doing anything, which is a little bit harsh. Papadopoulos will be replaced with namesake Kyriakos, while Stelios Malezas should fill in for Papastathopoulos. It should be a more solid unit, if only by default.
We should also expect a start out of Dimitris Salpingidis. The midfielder turned Greece's fortunes around when he came on at halftime against Poland, scoring the equaliser and winning a penalty as well. It's virtually unthinkable that he wouldn't be rewarded with a place in the first eleven, although it's not clear whether he'll replace Sotiris Ninis, as he did in the opener, or the hilariously ineffective Giorgios Samaras. For the sake of my personal amusement, I'm hoping Samaras stays on the pitch.
Despite their issues against Russia, the Czechs are still probably the better team. But in a tournament like this, where Greece have already proved to themselves that they belong, it's not clear that that will matter. If Greece can show the fight they did against Poland, anything can happen.
Projected Lineups
Greece (4-3-3): Kostas Chalkias; Jose Holebas, Stelios Malezas, Kyriakos Papadopoulos, Vasilis Torosidis; Giogos Karagounis, Kostas Katsouranis, Giannis Maniatis; Georgios Samaras, Dimitrios Salpingidis, Theofanis Gekas.
Czech Republic (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Michal Kadlec, Tomas Sivok, Roman Hubnik, Theodor Gebre Selassie; Petr Jiracek, Jaroslav Plasil; Vaclav Pilar, Tomas Rosicky, Jan Rezek; Milan Baros.
Monty the Psychic Metal Disk says: 2-1 Greece. No, I don't know why. I'm supposed to be psychic, not intelligent.

Congressional leaders are seeking ways to offset the increases in spending that would occur were federal benefits for the long term unemployed to be extended for several months. Some have suggested those savings could come from reductions in farm subsidies embedded in a new farm bill. Yesterday, for example, Senator Grassley (R-IA), a long-time member
Farmers truly deserve a Happy Christmas, but probably not a give-away farm bill
Christmas is a time for love, thoughtfulness, and caring: even for farm organizations that seem to want almost nothing more than to send taxpayer dollars to wealthy farmers in the largest amounts they can possibly finagle. The truth about most farmers in the United States is that, like so many wonderful people in America, they
Lower corn prices may deliver many farm bill blessings
Image Credit: Fishhawk (Flickr) (CC BY 2.0) Economists are often viewed as poor forecasters, but sometimes we get lucky—especially when government policies that are fairly obviously unsustainable over the long haul have been distorting prices in commodity markets. Such is the case with the price of corn, which is now falling. That fact has important
Who benefits from food aid? Not whom you might expect
In Coleridge's classic poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the Ancient Mariner, a grizzled and unpleasant old sea salt, forces an unfortunate wedding guest to stop and listen to his story. He (the Ancient Mariner) holds him with his glittering eye— The Wedding-Guest stood still, And listens like a three years' child: The Mariner hath
Scoring the farm bill policy options
There is an easy way forward on farm policy, and it is not contained in either the House or Senate versions of the Farm Bill that are about be considered by a conference committee. The answer is to extend current law, minus the indefensible direct payments program that almost everyone agrees needs to go. Ranking

Editor's note: This post originally appeared on the AEIdeas blog on October 11, 2013. Update: H.R. 2642 failed the House vote 195/204.

The House and Senate farm bills don't make the grade
Editor's note: This article originally appeared in The Hill on September 25, 2013. The House of Representatives last week passed a nutrition-only bill that ignited controversy by axing $4 billion per year from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's (SNAP) expected annual budget of $76 billion. Many Republicans view SNAP as low-hanging budget-cutting fruit; many Democrats
'Only 2 cents per meal': Why we should be grateful for crop insurance (or perhaps not).
Yesterday, a crop insurance industry funded group called National Crop Insurance Services, whose motto is "Crop Insurance: Keeps America Growing," proudly announced that the federal crop insurance program only costs you and me 2 cents every time we sit down at the table to eat a meal. The implication: we should be grateful that such
Like the past ones, Farm Bill 2013 is an American boondoggle
The House of Representatives has now passed a farm bill on an entirely partisan basis. No Democrat voted for the bill, not least because the House leadership voted out the nutrition title that would have reauthorized food stamps, or Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program. Several Republican members also refrained from offering support for the modified legislation

Samsung is calling it a new mobile experience with the release of their first wearable watch and the Galaxy Note 3 phone. Galaxy Gear is a smartphone on a watchband.
With Galaxy Gear, you can take calls, send texts, take photos and perform various other tasks without ever touching a phone.
Samsung says the Gear offers the following features:
Smart Relay - Quick Glance Notifications alert you of incoming calls, messages, and more on the Galaxy Gear. When the Note 3 is picked up, it will intuitively open the appropriate application to save time.
Smart Lock - You can automatically unlock or lock Galaxy Note 3 with Galaxy Gear. As soon as you walk outside of a 5-foot radius of your Note 3, Galaxy Gear will automatically lock the smartphone.
Find My Device - If you misplace your Note 3, users can use Gear to remotely activate the Note 3's ring tone and light up its screen until you find the phone. Similarly, if the Gear is misplaced, the same feature from Note 3 can be used to locate it.
S Voice - S Voice can be enabled on the Galaxy Gear, so you can tell it to reply a text for you or ask about the weather.
Users can connect and share information with the Galaxy Note 3. It's the third generation device with a large bright screen and the S Pen.
The Galaxy Note 3 is priced at about $300 with provider contract. The Galaxy Gear is priced about the same but no contract is necessary.
