Does anyone have ideas for favors to give as gifts at a wedding that are not expensive and different at the same time?
I did way too many favors for our wedding, but I saw so many cute things that I just got carried away! However, I did one favor that the women really liked. I found small lace cone shaped bags and filled them with raspberry potpouri, placing them at each place setting. (Just so happens our cake was a Raspberry Cheesecake and the punch was a raspberry sherbert) Of course I made way too many and still have them in all my drawers to scent them. It will be three years next week and they still smell very nicely! ALso, I found the little bags at a store that was going out of business so they were very inexpensive. One large bag of potpouri filled about 50 bags. Hope this helps.
We're (notice I'm including myself in this--because I'm doing half the work) giving custom candles with the bride and groom's name and wedding date on it in clear glass votive cups with white hearts on the front.
You can make the candles by using tissue paper, your printer and an embossing gun--nearly free, really. And everyone is always impressed because they're customized. If you want detailed instructions, email me.
Sure, here is the website http://www.candylandcrafts.com/candy-soap_molds.htm
They have a huge selection and it isn't very expensive. I ordered 2 sheets of the thank you bars (4 molds on each) and it only came to about $6.00. And they were very fast on the delivery. I am almost finished with them, they are easy to do. I would highly recommend doing the chocolate bars. I did some white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate to have some at each table.
Thank you Juliet2003!!! That is a great site, there are several molds that would be fitting for our kidÂs wedding!
My DS and future DIL are getting married in a rustic former tavern. It has a beautiful garden and reception room, but the tavern is still present. So for the favors, we have been collecting various glassware (wine glasses, beer mugs, etc.). The guest will be able to keep their glass as a favor, but we would like to add something to it. A chocolate lollipop will be perfect!
Thanks again!

Ooo La Lah! Gary's Sweet Potatoes
Gary's sweet potatoes (Duck Creek Farms) just arrived, and I just have to say how impressed I am! I've ordered from the premium catalogs, like Wayside & White Flower Farms, and I can't say I've ever received plants that look any better than Gary's.
I described my growing conditions for Gary back in February, and asked him to pick for me. I've received a lovely selection and can't wait to grown them. When we corresponded earlier in the week, he said he still has a nice assortment available. I'd encourage anyone who is still thinking about sweet potatoes to order from Gary. I was really impressed with the shipment.
Gary includes nice growing, harvesting and storage guidelines with his orders. Here's a link to a recent thread about what to do when they arrive.
Here is a link that might be useful: My SPs are here, now what?
Seedmama, I too received Gary's Sweet Potatoes slips yesterday and all ready planted. Slip are very healthy and plenty of roots.
I have received following varieties; Bradshaw/Mahan, 8633, Hernadez, Purplr, Pumpkin yam, Jersey white.

Only a week and a bit to go until the London girlies and I jet off to Verbier for a hen party on the slopes! I haven been skiing since school ( eek 10 years ago??) but am in good company as I'm thankfully going with two beginners and two pros. I've been saving as a bit of a birthday and 'leaving London' treat to myself, and I'm going to miss these girls when we move back home!
It's such a grown-up and glam hen-do idea, but I wouldn't expect anything less from this particular bride-to-be, and as a bit of an "appetiser" she suggested drinks at Coq D'Argent's winter terrace, Lodge D'Argent.
We chatted about Christmas, new jobs, guys and clothes and of course Wedding- and Ski-prep...! The very thoughtful Hen also made a batch of chocolate truffles from scratch as birthday gifts (a few of us oddly have our birthdays within 3 weeks of each other). I'll have to get her recipe, although I can't promise the mixture would ever make it into truffle form, I'd be too tempted to eat from the bowl!
All the chat worked up an appetite, and we asked for the food menu. Having heard only that Coq D'Argent was a great place for classy dinner and drinks, I did have a sneaky peek at their website and the main menu food looks stunning. The type of plate you'd feel a bit bad disturbing as it looks so pretty, you know? So I really wasn't expecting to see so many cosy comfort food dishes on the Lodge menu. I have to say they weren't your basic burgers - check out these deliciously messy venison burgers, with warm pear relish, and it was Croque Monsieur's rather than toasties.
I didn't get a great shot of the interior (exterior?) but here's a little teaser, make the most of the last days of winter and head up and out to Lodge D'Argent. The blankets and fur throws are ready and waiting!

By Vicki Michaelis and Mike Dodd, USA TODAY
BEIJING The U.S. men swimming Friday night in the 4x100-meter medley relay preliminaries set out to qualify for Sunday's final, of course, but they also had one overriding goal: No false starts.
"I don't think we were going to leave China if anyone DQ'd us," said Matt Grevers, who swam the leadoff breaststroke leg. "That's about the gist of what they told us."
RESULTS: Men's 4x100 medley relay heats
In the medley relay preliminaries at last year's world championships, Ian Crocker was disqualified for a false start after jumping off the starting blocks one one-hundredth of a second earlier than the allowable start time.
The mistake came at the end of a week in which the USA's Michael Phelps had won seven golds. A medley relay victory would have given him eight, exactly the number he's on track for at the Beijing Olympics.
Here, eight golds would surpass Mark Spitz's record seven from the 1972 Games, giving Phelps the greatest single Olympic performance.
"After this week, all that Phelps has done, you don't want to be the guy standing in the way, do something stupid like in '07," Crocker said after safely starting Friday for the butterfly leg. "I want him to have every shot that he's got."
Ironically, Crocker could stand in Phelps' way Saturday morning in the 100-meter butterfly final, where Phelps is seeded second and Crocker fourth. Phelps will be going for gold medal No. 7 in that race.
If he gets it, No. 8, the record-breaker, could come Sunday in the medley relay final. The U.S. men have never lost in the Olympic medley relay. On Friday, they qualified first, just one one-hundredth of a second ahead of Australia.
"There was a little anxiety," Grevers said. "There's such an historic event on the line with this relay. This relay might be what it all comes down to for eight golds. You don't want to be the one to screw that up."
NO FINAL: American Peter Vanderkaay, who posted the fastest time in the world this year at the U.S. Olympic trials, failed to qualify for Sunday's finals in the 1,500-meter freestyle. He swam the race in 14 minutes, 52.11 seconds, finishing ninth in the preliminaries.
"I figured you'd have to go under 14:50 to make it in once I saw the first heat and I was planning on doing that. But I just didn't have it. I ran out of gas," said Vanderkaay, who was part of the gold-medal winning 4X200 relay and won a bronze medal in the 200 free. "I would've liked to make it in there and try to get the medal in this race but I can't ask for everything."
Teammate Larsen Jensen qualified eighth at 14:49.53. "I like the outside lane. I'd rather be there than the inside lane, personally, and I look forward to going after it," he said.
Australian Grant Hackett, trying for an unprecedented third consecutive Olympic victory in the event, qualified first in an Olympic record time of 14:38.92.
In an earlier heat, Ryan Cochrane of Canada broke the Olympic record Hackett had set in Athens, but the Aussie regained it in the finale.
"I was very surprised. I thought I was about seven seconds slower," said Hackett, adding he was recovered from a cold a couple of days ago.
GRUELING DOUBLE: Ryan Lochte's swimming the 200 backstroke and 200 individual medley about 25 minutes apart Friday was even tougher than at Olympic trials, his coach, Gregg Troy, said. Lochte had about 15 minutes in the warm down pool in Omaha, about three minutes here. He won the 200 back in world record time, then finished third in the IM, 2.3 seconds behind Michael Phelps.
Troy thinks the schedule could be changed for London 2012, splitting those big races. "This is a very weird program and there are a lot of people not very happy," he said. "You know who it's really unfair for is the fans, because if those two guys swam the 200 IM fresh together, it would have been really, really interesting."

Saving Radicchio Seeds?
I read that they should be separated by 1/2 mile from possible crosses. Well there is wild chicory growing within that range both outside of my neighborhood and that neighbor doesn't mow it down in their yard. There is separation by a few trees and at least 50 ft from the closest wild one. Maybe 2-3 dozen plant within 200 ft of my radicchio. The rest in greater number is within 1/4mi.
How should I go about saving the seeds? My only thought is bag some flowers before they open and then hand pollinate. Which bring up the question of whether you can hand pollinate radicchio. I do not read anything about being able to do so.
Any thoughts on how to save the seeds in this situation and not waste the time that it took to get it this far?
Thanks for the input

How to Buy a Lampshade
Lamps are more than just functional pieces; they also contribute to the decor of a room. Their sizes vary, from table lamps to floor lamps, and a large variety of styles are available to suit any home decor. Lampshades are usually the focal point of lamps. They complement the base of the lamp, and they also hide the bulb and diffuse the light. To achieve the best effect with a lampshade, simplicity is the key. Ornate floor and table lamps are best complemented by simple lampshades, while a simple table or floor lamp can support a more decorative lampshade.

Decorating with Lamps
Overhead lighting may fill the room with light, but it's the low table lamps that offer the most flattering lighting. The style of lamps you choose will also change the feel of the whole room. If you're redecorating, be sure to consider what different lamps can do for the mood.
Best Lamp Shades for Your Table Lamps
Even the simplest lamps can look bolder and brighter with the right lamp shades. Whether you want to add a bit more light to your living room with sheer fabric lamp shades or create an old-fashioned bedroom with vintage lamp shades, the following suggestions will help you find the table lamps with shades that suit your style. Read on for tips on finding the best lamp shades for your table lamps.
How to Measure Lampshades
While deciding to redecorate a room, the idea may start small -- a fresh coat of paint, an accent chair to warm up a bare corner or new pictures to hang on the wall. Somewhere along the line, you notice that you need new lamp shades. Or maybe you find the perfect table lamps but aren't too crazy about the shades. It is quite easy to just change out lamp shades. Before running off on a quest to find the perfect new shades for your table lamps and floor lamps, ensure that they will fit by measuring your current lamp shades.
End Table Buying Guide
In the world of living room furniture, the sofa and coffee table might be the stars, but your end tables are important parts of the supporting cast. Without end tables, where would you put your lamps? Where would you set your drink? Where would you pile up the last week's worth of newspapers? End tables, also known as console tables, come in many shapes, sizes and styles. Whether you are looking for a traditional end table, round end table or basically any variety, this end table buying guide will show you how to buy end tables that will be just right for your home.
Tips on Buying Tiffany Lamps
Easily recognizable with their colored glass shades and heavy iron stands, Tiffany lamps were first created in 1895 as part of the Art Nouveau movement. They bring the beauty of a stained glass window into your home, whether you choose small table lamps or hanging pendant fixtures. For the look of an authentic Tiffany lamp without the high price tag, shop for Tiffany-style light fixtures. Here are a few suggestions for finding the perfect one for your home.
How to Decorate Your Dining Room with Round Area Rugs
Add color and warmth to your dining room by laying area rugs atop hardwood or tiled floors. Round area rugs are a perfect fit for dining rooms with circular tables. Whether it's the main dining table, a decorative accessory table or simply a floor lamp with a spherical lamp shade, round area rugs are the perfect accent piece. They can also be used to freshen the look of worn or stained carpet in a well-used dining room.
Tips on Choosing a Sofa Table
Do you need to add function to your living room? Sofa tables can be placed between the sofa and the wall, where they provide a surface for lamps, books, or other objects. They also allow air flow from a radiator or heater vent that may be behind the sofa. This isn't the only way you can use these versatile living room tables. To pick the best sofa table for your space, follow these tips.
FAQs about Accent Tables
It's a common misconception that you need a lamp or a piece of art to complete a room. While those are both good choices, the same function can be filled with an elegant end table. Convenient, functional and at least semi-portable, living room accent tables are quickly becoming the accessory of choice in all types of homes. The right accent table can complement any style and provide an added storage area in even the smallest of spaces. Keep reading for the answers to frequently asked questions about accent tables.
Nightstand Buying Guide
To create a balanced atmosphere in your bedroom, finding the right nightstand is essential. A nightstand is an end table for the bedroom. In almost every case, it stands beside your bed as a useful space for storing and displaying the things any good end table might: a table lamp, an alarm clock, a book or magazine, a pair of glasses, a small plant, a drinking glass, a framed picture. All night stands are built with your basic bedside requirements in mind, but there are important distinctions in nightstand utility and style. Luckily, this nightstand buying guide gives you all the information you need to determine how to buy a nightstand that brings you closer to the bedroom of your dreams.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.
Best End Tables for Each Room
Although the most popular room for end tables is undoubtedly the living room, you can place these tables in nearly every room in your home. When considering how to fit end tables in the rooms of your home, consider the room decor and whether or not the style of the end table matches your own. Even more basic than the style of end table is its shape, so consider how it will fit into your room. End tables can be square, rectangular, round or oval. Some end tables even nest together. One shape of end table might look best next to a recliner, while another might be perfect next to a sectional sofa. Look carefully at the room in which you will be placing the end tables. Is dark wood or light wood prevalent? Is it a small room or large room? Will the table sit in a corner, against a wall or in the middle of the room? As you can see, end tables are quite flexible. Here are some tips on placing end tables in your home.
Home Lighting - Lamp Design
Add style and warm light to your decor with the perfect lamp for your bedroom, hallway or living room. There's no need to sit in the dark when you can brighten up corners with unique lamps and stylish lighting and ceiling fans or snuggle in with good book by the light of your bedside lamps. This guide will provide you with tips on finding the perfect lamp designs for your home.
Best Floor Lamp for the Bedroom
When you need extra light in your bedroom, why not buy a stylish floor lamp? Whether you want to add a stunning torchiere floor lamp to an empty corner or read in bed more easily with a swing-arm floor lamp, you're sure to find the right lighting with the following suggestions. Read on to find the best floor lamp for your bedroom.
Best Floor Lamps for Reading
When you have the right floor lamps for reading, it's easy to curl up with your favorite book for a few hours. Why not create this relaxing atmosphere throughout your home? Whether you prefer adjustable floor lamps you can place in your living room or an arch floor lamp to tuck behind your bed, here's how to find the perfect floor reading lamps for your space.

The Great Bend Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting and banquet took place Saturday night. A full house at the Convention Center heard a about the strides made in the business community.
Why buckle up?
The two 2014 inductees into the Great Bend High School Hall of Fame were recognized at a luncheon Friday afternoon.
The Barton County Appraiser's Office is in the middle of establishing 2015 valuations, County Appraiser Barb Esfeld said. Real Estate values will be mailed on or before March 13.
Community Coordinator Christina Hayes met with the K-96 Regional June Jaunt Committee, plans are coming along nicely, she said.
Beginning Feb. 23 and running through March 6, the Great Bend Police Department will join other Kansas Law Enforcement agencies to stop what has been an epidemic for the past several years – teens not using seatbelts.
Overly dark vehicle windows are a threat to the safety of the public and to the police officers patrolling the streets, Great Bend Police Sgt. Jay Bachar told the Great Bend City Council Monday night. So, the City of Great Bend Police Department is undertaking a strong effort to monitor window tinting.
As of this weekend, there were two laboratory-confirmed cases of whooping cough in Great Bend, Barton County Health Director Shelly Schneider said Monday morning. One of the cases is in a school-age child and the other in a younger child, both of whom had been vaccinated.
The county employees honored for longevity by the Barton County Commission represented 270 collective years of service to the county. Recognized were folks who have had continuous employment for five, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 35 years.
There will be two public, open meetings later this week to give residents, City Council members and others an opportunity to meet the finalist for the job of Great Bend police chief.
The Great Bend City Council Monday night approved sponsoring the annual Job Fest for $1,000. The city has been a sponsor of Job Fest since its inception. The ninth-annual Job Fest event is set for Thursday, April 30.

For once, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's efforts to correct the state's massive budget shortfall make a modicum of sense. He has forwarded proposals to raise alcohol and tobacco taxes which are now being reviewed by a legislative committee.
For two weeks, convicted murder Jeffrey Wade Chapman was seen being escorted to and from the Barton County Courthouse in street clothes and no apparent restraints, nothing preventing him from making a run for it.
Just in case no one has notice, Kansas is in sorry fiscal shape, due in large part to our conservative elected leadership that used the Sunflower State as a lab rat in a grand experiment.
Noting that the money brought into the county and the jobs created by through its efforts, it was an easy call for the Barton County Commission to re-up with Great Plains Development.
Unfortunately, Barton County Commissioner Jennifer Schartz said public officials grab the headlines when they have a bad day and make a mistake. That is why she appreciated what 911 Director Doug Hubbard had to say Monday morning.
Emergency personnel and first responders in Barton County will now have a back-up method to receive messages and alerts from dispatchers after the County Commission approved the purchase of the Active911 system Monday morning.
At first blush, the sixth-annual County Health Rankings released Wednesday paint a bleak picture for Barton County. We are the 86th least healthy county in Kansas after being ranked at 68th last year.
Earl Mark served his country in the Army during the 1970s. But, the years have been an unbeatable foe and the veteran could no longer serve himself.
HAYS - They eyes of the nation may have been on March Madness and the national collegiate basketball tourney, but thousands swarmed to Hays this past weekend for the 47th-annual Kansas Special Olympics State Basketball and Cheerleading Competition.
Barton County was the 86th least healthiest county in Kansas, falling only 15 places above the state's least healthy county, Woodson, according to the ratings from the sixth-annual County Health Rankings released Wednesday. This was a drop from last year when Barton was 68th.
If you were a bad guy in Great Bend Monday, you may have had a very bad day.
The Federal Highway Administration and the Kansas Department of Transportation recognize this as National Work Zone Awareness Week. As of Monday morning, it was being observed in Barton County as well after the County Commission approved a proclamation marking the occasion.
Road construction on U.S. 56 between Great Bend and Ellinwood is expected to last a couple months. During that span, more and more motorists are anticipated to use the parallel East Barton County Road as a detour.
The Great Bend Police Department and other law enforcement agencies have a message for all the bad guys out there – you are not wanted here.
Spring is here and with the nice weather we've been having, it's time to think about getting back outdoors.
Barton County voters can now apply for advanced ballots for the April 7 city/school/hospital general election, said Donna Zimmerman, Barton county clerk and election officer.
This past Saturday, City Sanitarian Gregg Vannoster worked with First Assembly of God Church volunteers for a community service day cleanup of storm water drainage ditches around the community.

Our Complex Brain
Our brain is the most complex organ of the body. Within the brain and spinal cord there are ten thousand distinct varieties of neurons, trillions of supportive cells, a few more trillion synaptic connections, a hundred known chemical regulating agents, millions of minuscule blood vessels, axons ranging from a few microns to well over a foot and a half in length, and untold mysteries of all these components working together.
The UT Dallas institute of Brain Health is one institute which is dedicated towards understanding and finding cure for the diseases of brain. Its mission is to understand the brainâÂÂs ability to restore or protect healthy brain function, protecting the brain from unnecessary mental decline, healing the brain through treatments that regenerate brain function. The instituteâÂÂs board of directors is further divided into the Leadership Board and the Advisory Board. The Leadership Council includes known names like Sallie and Frederic Asche, Jr.Claudia and Dennis Berman, Toni and Norman Brinker, Dianne Cash, Theresa and David Disiere, Patsy Donors, John Harbin, Matrice Ellis-Kirk, among others as its members.
Center for BrainHealth, part of The University of Texas at Dallas School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, is a scientific institute that combines cutting edge brain research with clinical interventions. It promotes research, treatment, academic training and is one of the few facilities in the United States providing a continued follow-up aimed at enhancing and monitoring functional recovery in brain injury, brain disease and complications of normal aging. The institute has pioneered a unique horizontal approach to uncover commonalities in brain repair
Thanks for letting us know about this and the some Universities are really into researching for our complex brain which helps us know which charities are worth contributing to. After my car accident last year, I learned how complicated our brain and spine are and our pain receptors.

Everything was great...staff, location, nice rooms, free pkg, good price. The downside...very hard to sleep with room facing busy Lombard St.Would return, but only with a room off main street.

Good location with free parking. It is the only hotel where a fridge was not included in the room rate. Not too many local eateries. Would consider stopping there again if we visit SF.

nice room for a good price. bed was big and comfortable. nice big clear tv to sit back and relax with after a long day of sightseeing. people working there were all friendly and informative. great bonus to have on-premise parking included in the room price. We arrived 2 hours before check in time, and were able to park at the hotel right away and go sightseeing. Even though we were only staying 1 night, they let us leave our car at the hotel until 7 pm the next day so we could sightsee before our plane left in the evening at no additional cost. Less than a 1 mile walk to the waterfront.

Very clean, very reasonably priced. Only slightly negative thing is Lombard, Fishermans Warf, Palace of Fine Arts are walkable, but its a good long walk. If you are elderly or have small children, it might be too long of a walk. Otherwise, it wasnt that big a deal. The window had a view of a white wall. Not that I'm there to stare out the window, but would have been nice to have a view of an alley at least! There are resturants and bars on the next street over. Seemed like a mid 20's-30's neighborhood.

Wanna make your own over-the-top Bobby Newport-style political attack ad?
PBS NewsHour is on it. This week it launched Ad Libs 2012, an interactive feature that has you pick quotes and photos from your own Facebook profile and cobbles them together in an attack ad against yourself.
The idea is to engage voters by highlighting some of the oldest campaign-ad tricks in the book: Roiling storm clouds, ominous voiceovers, out-of-context quotes, and so on. As you build your campaign ad, PBS NewsHour features links to various historical ads, pointing out tactics used to denote negativity. Check it out:
Ad Libs 2012 was created using Mozilla's Popcorn toolkit, and the team at PBS NewsHour collaborated with Mozilla and Ocupop. (The project was funded by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.)
PBS NewsHour's creative director, Travis Daub, says they opted to build something linked to Facebook to keep things simple — users don't have to upload any photos or text because Ad Libs 2012 uses what's already in their Facebook profiles — and so that people can only make attack ads about themselves. "We were quite frankly concerned about people misusing it, taking the tool and using it to bully other kids in high school," Daub told me.
Plenty of other organizations have found ways to use Facebook for election-related games. Over the summer, MTV launched Fantasy Election '12, in which players pick teams of presidential and congressional candidates who get points for honesty, polling well, and social media engagement. Honolulu Civil Beat created its own civics-oriented Facebook game, Our Hawaiian Spring, with a goal to encourage voter turnout in Hawaii, where it's the lowest in the country. (Disclosure: I'm a contributing reporter at Civil Beat, where I used to work full time.)
After the vice presidential debate last night, The Guardian introduced a feature called "Spin It!" which is kind of like a politically-themed digital version of magnetic poetry. It lets you select words from Joe Biden and Paul Ryan quotes to form misleading sentences.
Politically oriented or not, the team over at BuzzFeed often finds ways to interact with readers. Recent example: Make Your Own Paul Ryan Photoshoot. That project skews goofy where other news organizations go a bit wonkier, but the idea is the same: Bring people together to play in the election space.
PBS NewsHour's Hari Sreenivasan says the gamification of the election makes sense for the first time this year: Many newsrooms are more willing to try new things, and audiences' expectations about social interactivity have shifted. Elections-related interactivity used to mean voting in a web survey about who you liked better in a debate, or taking an issues quiz to see which candidate shared your views. Those kinds of features, while still around, now seem positively quaint.
"Thanks to all of these different apps, the different level of capability of how content is created and how it's interactive, they have a different level of expectation and a different level of understanding," Sreenivasan told me. "If you threw this in front of someone five years ago, they would flip out. This is a whole level of shared knowledge that we didn't have before."

|Millennials say keeping up with the news is important to them — but good luck getting them to pay for it
The new report from the Media Insight Project looks at millennials' habits and attitudes toward news consumption: "I really wouldn't pay for any type of news because as a citizen it's my right to know the news."
|The next stage in the battle for our attention: Our wrists
News companies have moved from print dollars to digital dimes to mobile pennies. Now, with the highly anticipated launch of the Apple Watch, the screens are getting even smaller. How are smart publishers thinking about the right way to serve users and maintain their attention on smartwatches?
|A wave of distributed content is coming — will publishers sink or swim?
Instead of just publishing to their own websites, news organizations are being asked to publish directly to platforms they don't control. Is the hunt for readers enough to justify losing some independence?

A Challenge to Paul Buhle
We also questioned the accuracy of his assertions in the Encyclopedia of the American Left -- made with no supporting evidence-- that American Communist assistance to Soviet espionage was dwarfed by "the largest incident of illegal activity: the shipment of arms and assorted war materials to the new state of Israel" and that "among those Americans wounded or killed in battles protecting Israeli gains from Arabs, Communists played a prominent role." We noted that such assertions were startling and that we had asked Buhle what his sources were. His letter asserts "had Klehr and Haynes done their homework in the Daily Worker files, they would have found evidence aplenty." But we asked Buhle for his sources -- and he sent us on a wild goose chase to an oral history interview that did not support his argument. When we e-mailed him that we could not find support for his claim, he never responded. The obligation to inform other scholars about one's sources ought to have led Buhle to tell us that he was relying on the Daily Worker but he did not.
If, that is, he actually has evidence from the Daily Worker. His letter provides no citations of what he asserts supports his claim -- only that he looks "forward to a full discussion in some neutral venue." We have our doubts that Communists published in the Daily Worker details of what Buhle calls "the largest incident of illegal activity" by the CPUSA. Usually organizations conceal illegal activities rather than writing about them in a daily newspaper. Moreover, as we reported in our article, a number of authorities derided his claim that American Communists were prominent among those killed in the Israeli War of Independence. Officers of American Veterans of Israel labeled it "absolutely false." The former Daily Worker correspondent in Palestine in 1947-1948 dismissed the claim as without merit. Israeli historians had never seen any evidence for the assertion. Editors at Jewish Currents, long associated with Communist causes before becoming an independent left-wing Jewish magazine, recalled no such individuals. If Buhle had such evidence, why did he not cite it in his encyclopedia entry or tell us where it was when we inquired? If he has evidence to support his claim that "among those Americans wounded or killed in battles protecting Israeli gains from Arabs, Communists played a prominent role" we would be delighted to see him post it on History News Network and explain why he refused to provide it when we asked last year.
But we suspect that his evidence either does not exist or does not show what he asserted. We await the information that will convince us, the organization representing Americans who fought on behalf of Israel, old leftists and historians of Israeli history that we have all been wrong and Paul Buhle, having discovered such startling new evidence, is finally prepared to reveal it.
Editor's Note In December HNN sent Mr. Buhle a copy of this article and asked him if he would like to respond. He declined:"My colleagues and friends in the profession have urged me to treat this matter in a scholarly journal, where evidence can be assessed by experts of the field. I look forward to an exchange in that venue." When informed of Buhle's decision, Klehr and Haynes sent us the following email:
We are not surprised that Paul Buhle has refused once again to cite the sources for his claim that American Communists were prominent among those killed defending the new state of Israel in 1948. He gave no documentation for the claim when he first made it in the Encyclopedia of the American Left. When we asked him for his sources, he gave us an oral history interview that did not support it. After we wrote an article in the New Criterion exposing his falsehood, he chose not to respond. In a recent letter to the editor of the OAH Newsletter, he chastised us for not looking in easily accessible Daily Worker files to find the source. Now, in response to our challenge to him, he has chosen not to cite a single article in the Daily Worker. (We have not requested anything complicated or unusual: only the minimal requirement of historical scholarship, citable documentation.) Instead of denigrating historians who uncover material that upsets his pet ideological fantasies, he might try writing history.

marilyn baker - 11/30/2003
I know this is perhaps a bit off topic. But I am trying to find out the real name and particulars of a cartoonist by the name of Lola. He/she was reproduced in an article by Paul Buhle in Radical History Review, Spring 1980. I have only just begun this search but any speeding up of the process would be much appreciated.
He/she was published in Groysser Kundes, 1913 and 1919 according to Buhle.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Van L. Hayhow - 11/19/2003
Since posting this message some time ago, I have read one of Klehr and Haynes books on the American communist party. It seemed extremely well documented. I have seen nothing which disputes the accuracy of that book. This gives further support to the position of Klehr. So I ask again, where is Paul Buhle?
Simona Pipko - 5/21/2003
Dear Sir:
I am a former Soviet lawyer, who recently published a book entitled "Baltic Winds: Testimony of a Soviet Attorney." As our political views coincide completely, I would dare to ask you to write a book review.
With hope and best wishes,

"But why should we trust Klehr, since he's publishing in a journal heavily funded by right-wing foundations, and devoted to spreading the myth that American universities are in the grip of left-wing radicals?"
SO--guilt by association should trump a dispute over facts?
HELL NO, Mr. Aune--have you no shame?
Real scholars respect facts; they don't shoot the messenger because they loath the company he keeps.
Van L. Hayhow - 1/29/2003
I don't know either of these protagonists. If Buhle has a simple answer he can post it here or put in a link to his rebuttel. Many others on this site have done the same. I don't know if we should trust Klehr, but nothing has been posted to show he is wrong. Again, where is Buhle?
Jim Aune - 1/26/2003
But why should we trust Klehr, since he's publishing in a journal heavily funded by right-wing foundations, and devoted to spreading the myth that American universities are in the grip of left-wing radicals? (The New Criterion's defense of "our culture" of course never mentions the influence of schools of business on the undergraduate mind.)

It will be great in the upcoming winter months. Not so great in the summer when it explodes and catches fire on top of your head.
exactly! just think of the porn!
I think TFA even suggests as much:
and, um, I looked at a 3D photo.
Why do you think that gaming is the only possible use for this?
How about: Medical imaging, military imaging, warehouse inventory control visualization, education, biological research, chemistry, physics modelling, and etc.
