Staples to shut 140 stores as online rivals take sales
New York • Staples Inc. will shut about 140 locations this year, part of a store-closing plan announced earlier, as the world's largest office-supply chain responds to online competition.
Staples shut 80 outlets in North America in the fiscal second quarter. Net income in the three months ended Aug. 2 dropped 20 percent to $82 million, or 13 cents a share, as $101 million was spent on closing locations, the Framingham, Mass.-based company said Wednesday.
The retailer has four stores in Utah — in Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Sandy and outside of Park City.
Expansion by Web-based rivals such as Amazon.com Inc. has spurred reorganizations across the retail industry, including the merger of stationery suppliers Office Depot with OfficeMax. Staples outlined plans in March to shut as many as 225 North American stores through next year, amounting to 12 percent of its outlets in the region, and to reduce costs by as much as $500 million.
"We have more work to do to stabilize our retail business, and we're taking action to improve customer traffic, reduce expenses and close underperforming stores," Chief Executive Officer Ron Sargent said in the statement.
The retailer forecast sales this quarter will decline, without providing specifics. Earnings excluding some items will be 34 cents to 39 cents a share, the company said. Analysts projected 37 cents and estimated revenue to fall 3.4 percent.
Second-quarter earnings excluding some items were 12 cents a share, matching the average of 17 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Revenue in the quarter fell 1.8 percent to $5.22 billion, beating analysts' expectations for $5.17 billion. The sales declined in part from earlier shutdowns of outlets and currency effects, Staples said. North American online revenue increased 8 percent. Annualized cost savings so far this fiscal year totaled $150 million.

The People of Paper
First edition cover
|Salvador Plascencia
|United States
|McSweeney's Books, Mariner Books
Publication date
|June 2005 (McSweeney's), November 13, 2006 (Mariner)
|Media type
|Print (Hardback & Paperback)
|ISBN 1-932416-21-8 (McSweeney's, hardback), ISBN 978-0-15-603211-7 (Mariner, paperback)
The People of Paper is the debut novel of Salvador Plascencia. It was first published as a part of the Rectangulars line of McSweeney's Books. In form the novel owes a debt to a wide variety of experimental fiction from the magical realism of Latin American writers, to the Beat writings of William S. Burroughs, to the American postmodernists of the 1960s and 1970s, particularly in its turn towards metafiction. The book is notable for its unique layout, featuring columns of text running in different directions across the page, blacked out sections, and a name that has literally been cut out of the novel. The central events depicted in the novel are variously described as a war against Saturn, against sadness, and against omniscient narration. The leader of this war is Federico de la Fe, a Mexican man who is abandoned by his wife Merced due to his chronic bed-wetting. As a result of his remorse, he falls into a depression which he cures through "burn-collecting," or burning parts of his body. After leaving Mexico bound for the United States, Federico de la Fe and his daughter Little Merced settle in the small flower-growing town of El Monte. There, Federico de la Fe enlists the help of the town and a local gang of flower-pickers, who call themselves the El Monte Flores, in order to combat the influence of Saturn.
The novel was republished in paperback by Mariner Books in 2006.

The chief executive officer of Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG) will speak next month at Butler University. Bob McDonald will discuss sustainability as part of the Howard Schrott Lecture Series.
March 17, 2013
News Release
INDIANAPOLIS �Bob McDonald, chairman of the board, president, and chief executive officer of Procter & Gamble (P&G), will address students, faculty, and community members at Butler University April 4.
McDonald�s address, �Growing Sustainably,� reflects the forward-thinking strategy emblematic of the 175-year-old company, which was founded on the value to �improve people�s lives� through branded products of superior quality and value.
Sponsored by the College of Communication (CCOM) as part of the Howard Schrott Lecture Series, McDonald�s presentation will be held at 7 p.m. in the Eidson-Duckwall Recital Hall of Robertson Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Referring to the recently released Harris Interactive Reputation Quotient Survey, CCOM Dean Gary R. Edgerton said, �It�s great for our students to be exposed to innovative industry thought leaders like Mr. McDonald, who also are leaders in social responsibility.�
The reputation survey rates companies on several characteristics, including product quality, trust, social responsibility, and how employees are treated. �In this era of consumer skepticism and corporate malfeasance, it�s a tribute to Mr. McDonald that Procter & Gamble was just named in the top 10 of America�s most trusted companies,� Edgerton said.
Not only is his company rising in the corporate social responsibility ratings, but P&G has consistently delivered increased revenues during McDonald�s tenure, and is currently ranked 27th in the Fortune 500, with global revenues of nearly $84 billion.
In addition to his P&G leadership, McDonald chairs the U.S.-China Business Council and the Business Roundtable Fiscal Policy Initiative; he is the vice-co-chair of the Consumer Goods Forum. He also serves on the Foreign Investment Advisory Council in Russia and the Singapore International Advisory Council of the Economic Development Board.
Born in Gary, Ind., McDonald graduated from West Point with a degree in engineering. He served in the U.S. Army and received his MBA with honors from the University of Utah in 1978.
The Howard Schrott Lecture Series brings media-industry professionals to campus to speak with communication majors. It is named and funded by Butler Trustee Howard Schrott, a 1976 graduate of Butler University�s radio and television program. Following a successful career in broadcasting financial management, Schrott founded a corporate advising and consulting firm in California.
Butler�s College of Communication offers degree programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders; Creative Media and Entertainment; Journalism; Media, Rhetoric, and Culture; Organizational Communication and Leadership; and Strategic Communication: Public Relations and Advertising.

Incoming: Aleksander Hemon, James Salter and Emily Berry at the Southbank Centre
Preview: London Literature Festival.
Preview: London Literature Festival.
by Critic Published
Sophie Elmhirst: Not long ago, I met Aleksandar Hemon for lunch in St Pancras station. We spoke mostly about his new memoir, The Book of My Lives, which recounts chapters of Hemon's life both sides of its central event, when he left Bosnia as a young man just before the siege of Sarajevo (I reviewed the memoir here). In conversation, Hemon roamed widely – from European football to how to teach creative writing. He was most poignantly open on the subject of the final essay in his book, his daughter Isabel. She died as a baby from a rare form of cancer and if you haven't read it, Hemon's account – in "The Aquarium" (originally published in the New Yorker) is an almost impossibly frank account of the trauma of losing his daughter. Aleksander will speak on 25 May. Here are four other events well worth checking out.
The 87-year-old has just published his first novel for more than 30 years. All That Is is an elegant journey through the life of one man in Salter's distinct, sensuous prose. He is often cited as the most unsung of the great American writers of the 20th century, or a writer's writer (Richard Ford is a devoted admirer). 25 May.
Our very own nature columnist will be speaking about bees (a theme which will recurs across the festival - remember Einstein: "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live") and reading from his poems. 27 May.
Heather Philippson and Emily Berry
Two exciting young poets (Berry's work has been published in the New Statesman here) will read from their work. 28 May.
The singer, one half of Everything But The Girl, talks about her memoir, Bedsit Disco Queen. A fine writer (read her in the New Statesman here), Thorn's account is witty and personal. 2 Jun.
The London Literature Festival will run until 8 September at the Southbank Centre. You can read the full programme of events here.

GREENBELT, Md. (Science@NASA) – If you're outdoors after sunset this week, be alert for meteors. Not only is the Geminid meteor shower active as Earth passes through a stream of debris from "rock comet" 3200 Phaethon, but also, say forecasters, a new meteor shower could make an appearance.
"The source of the new shower is Comet Wirtanen," says Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "Dust from this comet hitting Earth's atmosphere could produce as many as 30 meteors per hour."
Comet Wirtanen was discovered in 1948, just after World War II, and takes 5.4 years to orbit the sun. It reaches its closest point to the sun just outside Earth's orbit. Although this comet has skirted Earth's orbit many times, Earth has not run into its debris streams before. 2012 could be different.
Computer models run by Russian forecaster Mikhail Maslov predict as many as four stream crossings between Dec. 10th and 14th.
"This time period also includes the peak of the strong annual Geminid meteor shower," notes Cooke.
To sky watchers, he recommends having a "meteor night" after sunset on Dec. 13th, when the criss-crossing debris streams could produce the greatest combined number of shooting stars. "Meteors from the new shower (if any) will be visible in the early evening, with the Geminids making their appearance later on and lasting until dawn," he says.
The new shower doesn't have a name yet. Before naming it, astronomers will wait to see if it is real. If any meteors do materialize, they might be called "Piscids." The shower's radiant is located in the constellation Pisces, according to Maslov's dynamical models of the debris stream. Maslov also predicts that the meteors will be very slow moving, which should help novice sky watchers distinguish them from the faster Geminids.
Meteor hunting on Dec. 13-14 is a no-lose proposition because, as Cooke points out, even if the new shower is a dud, the Geminids should be great. With no glaring Moon to spoil the show, observers in rural areas should be able to see as many as 120 Geminid meteors every hour. The best time to look is during the dark hours before sunrise on Friday, Dec. 14th.
Enjoy the show(s).

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Our Save-the-Dates turned out great and we couldn't be happier with them. The customer service response time was very quick and they arrived before the expected date, which was great and very much appreciated."
"We ordered these for our save the dates without ordering samples. The quality of the paper is great and very sturdy. The silver shimmer envelopes were amazing as well. We will definitely order more from here."
"The colors to chose from were amazing. Delivery was amazing and fast. The packaging is good and my family thought they were adorable"
"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience"
"My fiancé and I loved this Save the Date! It gave a quick and fun snapshot of the story of our love and the clean and bright design matched our aesthetic well. Got so many compliments from friends and family as they received them in the mail. Not your typical save the date and exactly what we wanted!"

Academic Programs : Major
The CS major for students who wish to explore fundamental questions about computation itself and the role of computation in society, such as
- How do the languages and "paradigms" we use to express computation affect our ability to develop, understand, and use software?
- What computing techniques are needed to perform inquiry into other fields such as physics, biology, or economics?
- Does a simple requirement of logical consistency constrain what can, in principle, be computed?
- Do the laws of physics constrain what can and cannot be computed?
- Are the constraints of logical consistency and physics the same? If not, what does this mean about the universe?
- How can human beings best communicate with each other about the properties of computing systems?
- Is the classic 'worst-case time complexity' analysis really the best way to study the resources needed for computation?
- How does the design and marketing of computing systems influence disparities in society?
As part of this exploration, we provide many opportunities for students to design, implement, and analyze algorithms and data structures, and to develop larger-scale hardware/software systems over the course of multiple semesters. These opportunities include both individual projects and group work, and provide experience with a variety of programming languages and with computer hardware. The senior experience and final projects in many classes provide opportunities for students to explore their own interests; we also invite students to contact us to discuss ideas for independent study courses or independent majors relating to computer science.

Arizona Cardinals
Grantland takes shot at Cardinals' QB situation
When you're bad, as the Arizona Cardinals have been over the last 10 weeks, you instantly become the butt of every joke.
Analysts had no problem ripping the Redbirds this week on national television and radio. Late-night host Jay Leno didn't mind including Arizona in his opening monologue on Monday.
Even the editor-and-chief of Grantland and renowned pop culture buff Bill Simmons had to pull a parting shot to end the week.
In his Friday column, Simmons decided to rank the top 45 quarterbacks in the NFL based on sports movie films like The Longest Yard, Any Given Sunday, Leatherheads and North Dallas Forty.
The Cardinals active duo -- John Skelton and Ryan Lindley -- were obviously not as fortunate as most. Come to think of it, Simmons ranked them dead last at No. 44 and No. 45.
Nine straight losses and an historically bad defeat last Sunday in Seattle (58-0)can do that to a team.
Needing a movie to capture just how bad Arizona's quarterbacks have been -- no touchdowns passes thrown since November 4 in Green Bay -- Simmons chose one of the few flicks with a Valley connection: Jerry Maguire.
In the 1996 Academy Award-winning film, Cuba Gooding Jr. stars as the Cardinals' fictional star wide receiver Rod Tidwell. The plot details Tidwell's efforts to try and leverage a new contract with the Cardinals, but he continually put himself in harms way trying to make tough catches over the middle. The root cause of which being of course, poor passes thrown by an unnamed Arizona quarterback.
Sound familiar?
Here's Simmons take on the current run of futility at the quarterback position in Arizona:
It's been one of the most incredible Bad QB runs we've ever seen � combined, they've notched 14 interceptions, six fumbles, 24 sacks, four TAINTS (touchdowns after interceptions), one FART (fumble after interception) and just two passing TDs. By any conceivable metric, they've been historically atrocious: QB rating (55.4 for Skelton, 42.6 for Lindley), QBR (13.9 for Skelton, an incredible 6.8 for Lindley) and especially DVOA (-35.7 percent for Skelton, -64.9 percent for Lindley). They've also destroyed poor Fitzgerald's career � and he was only headed toward becoming one of the three best receivers of all time before this happened.
Fitzgerald's last seven games: 21 catches, 222 yards, one TD Fitzgerald's previous 130 games: 729 catches, 10,045 yards, 76 TDs
Fact: In Fitzgerald's last four games, he was targeted 37 times � and caught six passes. SIX!
Is reality imitating art in the Valley this season? Well, maybe a little.

Caviar is made from the unfertilised fish eggs, or roe, of the sturgeon (Acipenser ) and the closely related beluga (Huso ) and is one of the most expensive foods in the world.
The large illegal and legal trade in caviar has had a devastating effect on the numbers of sturgeon in the wild.
CITES is enforcing the ban this year because predicted fish catch for next year will not be sustainable.
The countries that export caviar will have to provide more information on how they will improve the sustainability of their sturgeon catch for the future. Farmed caviar will not be banned.
Some of the biggest producers of caviar are Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan - countries surrounding the Caspian Sea. Other producers are those surrounding the Black Sea eg Romania. The USA is also a large producer.
The sturgeons (Acipenseridae ) are a family, or grouping, of bottom-feeding fish that has existed for 300 million years. There are more than 25 species of sturgeon and all are threatened with extinction because of pollution of breeding grounds and mismanagement of fisheries.
Sturgeon spend most of their time in the seas but swim up river to breed. They range from 2.5 to 3.5 metres in length but some are capable of growing much larger. A female sturgeon can carry a large amount of her body weight as eggs - some have been known to carry as much as 25 per cent.

Days Two and Three
Thank you for letting me continue to share my experiences from TV Land!
Having my cookbook at the printer has opened up this entire world of this thing they call time.
I'm really enjoying being able to do this thing they call blogging again.
Here. Let me prove it it you!
This is David. He's been here for almost every block of shooting since the show began, and he's become a good friend. David lives in New York. He watches the shows every Saturday morning and texts me as soon as it's over to tell me how much he liked it.
David's always there for me. With ingredients, with equipment, with mini York peppermint patties, which he keeps in the freezer in the pantry for emergencies.
I highly recommend you try this sometime! They're frozen, but just soft enough to bite into and chew. And they're cool and minty and make your mouth happy.
When the crew was here shooting shows in May, it rained constantly. Then, as soon as they arrived last week, it started raining again.
I've tried to explain to them that rain in August is a wonderful, blessed thing!
They'll agree with me eventually.
The vibe when we're shooting is nice. Everyone enjoys one another, even though what we're doing is hard work.
Not hard work in the sense of, say, pulling a locomotive with one's teeth.
Or plowing an entire field by hand.
But hard work in the sense of, working 12-hour days and having a lot to coordinate and wrangle.
This is Matt, one of the lead cameramen—the one whose wife accidentally used the short clippers and cut a big bald spot in his hair last week.
I tease him like a kid brother and he's a lot of fun.
Except when he gets cranky…then LOOK OUT.
Not really.
This is Katie, who's in charge of continuity. If we have to stop and restart, or if we have to come back and shoot different elements of the recipe again, she makes sure we use the same vessels and ingredients.
And she makes sure I don't wear two different earrings, which I accidentally did once.
Okay, twice.
There's a lot that goes into shooting a cooking show!
This is Mike, who's in charge of lighting. He came for the first part of the shoot and made sure everything was set up and lit well…
Then he had the audacity to go "on holiday," which we refer to as "on vacation." It was scheduled some time ago and for some reason he actually wanted to go through with it!
So unreasonable!
Saturday, Marlboro Man and his fellow coaches in the surrounding towns held a big football camp at the high school stadium here in our town. About 100 boys (from rival teams, I might add!) showed up for the day, and I made Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches for all of them.
Meat. Bread. Special Sauce. Cheese.
Wrap in foil. Throw in the oven till hot.
What's not to love?
Also, I had a temporary moment of insanity wherein I decided it would make sense to fry homemade potato chips for 100 football players and their coaches.
The only problem is, when figuring how many pounds of potatoes I should get, I forgot to factor in that homemade potato chips are so delicious, you really need to plan on twice the amount as normal.
And that you should set aside an additional five pounds of potatoes just for yourself to snack on during the frying process, which takes approximately fourteen years.
Live and learn.
And the boys/coaches loved them…so it all worked out in the end!
Because I was taking big beef sandwiches and a bunch of potato chips, I wanted to take a bunch of fruit, too. So my girl helped me put together nine thousand individual bags of fruit for the boys.
"You want me to assemble how many bags of fruit?"
That's right, sweet love. SO YOU'D BETTER GET BUSY!
My daughter and I have such a special time together in the kitchen.
That's 25 down. 4,339,273,495 to go!
This is Martin, trying to act like he hadn't just eaten a couple of freshly fried potato chips.
You see, David is extremely protective of the food that's made on set. In his years of working in TV production, he's had some nightmare scenarios where the food needed for certain shots was inadvertently eaten by the crew (or, sometimes, the host!) and they had to remake something and try to make it look like the original, which is hard to do.
So if the crew ever dares to take a bite of something, which really doesn't happen very often because of the fear David has put in them, they're very, very careful…lest David appear from around the corner and melt them with his laser eyes.
This is Justin, a production assistant, also known as a P.A.
P.A.'s are amazing. They work hard, they work long hours, and they're basically there to do whatever anyone needs them to do. I've noticed that the best P.A.'s are the ones blessed with both confidence and humility: Many of them have the skills and ability to do more advanced production work, but since they know that being a P.A. is part of the process, they do it with a smile. And they do it as if it's the most important job they've ever had.
We've had a couple of the same P.A.'s over the course of several shoots, and I think they're pretty much the best guys (and girls) ever.
Okay, so back to my daily journal entry: Saturday, after the last sandwich was served and the last crumb of the last potato chip was eaten, I left football camp and headed back to the Lodge to make one more recipe. It involved Chuck Roast…
Then I left the Lodge, drove across our very full creek, and went home, where Marlboro Man, the kids and I spent the rest of the evening watching movies and being incredibly, deliciously lazy.
Happy Monday, everyone!

"Rain in August is a wonderful thing"–only folks in Oklahoma and west Texas would understand that!!! My East coast friends don't understand when I say "pray for rain" around this time of year, every year!
TerriL On Monday, August 5 at 6:54 pm
Great meeting all the folks who pull the show together!
Erin from Tampa On Monday, August 5 at 7:05 pm
Hi Ree, I love your show! Keep your tips coming!!!! Beside Peppermint Patties, try Snickers or Resses Peanut Butter Cups too!
Krikit On Monday, August 5 at 7:19 pm
What did you make with the Chuck Roast, Rosemary and the Pepperoncini's!?!?!? I'm still salivating over just thinking about it!!
Daniella On Monday, August 5 at 7:20 pm
Hooray for PAs! I work in Film and TV and PAs really do deserve more credit than they receive.
Claudia On Monday, August 5 at 7:30 pm
What a great team. Think it's time to sneak in two different earrings again and see if they catch you. I love looking for 'bloopers'. Thanks, Ree.
Channeling Tranquility On Monday, August 5 at 7:39 pm
It's been said before, but I'll say it again…I sure do enjoy the simple goodness of your show. The way you make things look so easy, the kind words you share about the production team and all the little details about your life and family and ranch. It's refreshing and inspiring. Very simply, thank you.
Ginny Hensley On Monday, August 5 at 8:00 pm
Oh Ree, I just adore you!!
Donna W On Monday, August 5 at 9:04 pm
Stop hogging all the rain and send some toward Kansas City. We need it.
Elizabeth On Monday, August 5 at 9:45 pm
While I read your blog and scroll down, there is a picture of you in the margins in your teens and in coincides with your text of your girl! Both very cute!
Julie from Texas On Monday, August 5 at 11:41 pm
Kind of off the subject, but I made the sour cream noodle bake for my family today and they loved it. My 18 yr old boy said, "This is really good! Is it one of Pioneer Woman's recipes?"….."As a matter of fact it is," I said. "Well, that explains why I love it!". My family members are like Pavlov's dogs…If I say "Pioneer Woman" they begin to salivate.
amosgw On Tuesday, August 6 at 5:28 am
Thanks for sharing some behind the scenes fun. So ambitious to make food for all the footballers! I bet they loved it!
Donna On Tuesday, August 6 at 6:09 am
Geezzzz – you have more energy, stamina and where withal (whatever that is) than anyone I know…a cookbook – no make that THREE cookbooks – a novel, 4 children's books – an award winning blog – homeschool Mom….Rancher's wife….and then she wants to show-off and feed the 4th regime!!!! You truly are amazing….and very inspiring….although I'm feeling a little like an under-achiever this morning…. ….you're my hero!!!
CDL On Tuesday, August 6 at 10:34 am
Donna, this is what I was trying to say back in Post #94. Compared to Ree, I'm not just an "under" — I'm a "non." But I love her to death, as do others, which means she's a very unusual combination of things. No big insight there, I know. I'm just wondering when Superstar Status will strike.
Teresa On Tuesday, August 6 at 6:31 am
Ree how awesome is it that you have a wonderful crew to work with?!!
These people are behind the scenes for us (the viewers) but make every thing run smoothly on all your shows… it really does appear that it is just you and me in your kitchen when you are taping. They do an awesome job! To us they are invisible and I guess that is as it should be but it is really nice to know that you have such professionals that have your back! Bless them all…
Beth V On Tuesday, August 6 at 8:32 am
Ree I just love your show and your posts, you are so real about your life. What a fun person you are, love your humor in everything you do. Thanks for the show, the recipes you post and share, and I can't wait for the new cookbook to come out! I love cooking and trying new things. I feel as if I know you and if I ever actually met you that we would be instant friends. Could be partly because we are both close in age. I admire all of you and the hard work that it takes to work a ranch – and for you to be mom in the midst of it all! Maybe I should think about a career change……some days ranching sounds really good! (that's an honest statement too, not just saying it!) Keep up the great work and I pray God's blessing on you and your family.
Niki S. On Tuesday, August 6 at 9:23 am
For the first time last week I had homemade potato chips at a local Irish restaurant called Brazenhead. They were awesome. I want to go get some now
Amy at love made my home On Tuesday, August 6 at 9:39 am
All I can say is if I had been cooking all those chips and they had turned out as good as yours none would have left the house, 'cause I would have eaten the lot!
Misha On Tuesday, August 6 at 10:00 am
Wow, that's a lot of homemade chips! They and the sandwiches look yummy.
You must be thrilled with all the rain. We are dry here and very cool temps for this time of year.
Mary R. On Tuesday, August 6 at 10:59 am
I love hearing about the production. It's always nice to hear that everyone gets along and has so much fun.
denise On Tuesday, August 6 at 11:24 am
great fun…yummy chips
Sandy On Tuesday, August 6 at 11:26 am
Enjoy your posts as do my daughters. One daughter in her 40's has 6 children and a husband. My other daughter (27) is beautiful, a Christian, a graphic designer and is available. She would love to meet someone, preferably like Marlboro man although Justin is a total cutey. If you need her name, number, email, Facebook just call on me.
Carolyn On Tuesday, August 6 at 11:29 am
Hi there Ree. When you are filming, and since you live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, does the crew stay overnight at The Lodge? Or do they go away to the nearest hotel/motel in town?
Traci R. On Tuesday, August 6 at 11:47 am
Thank you for being you and sharing all that you and your family do! What a gracious group of folks to allow us into your lives for a short while daily (when you are not swamped with production of either a new book (YAY!!!) or show (YAY!!!). Huge nod to your crew from all of us as well. Thank you!
Pat Dunajski On Tuesday, August 6 at 1:20 pm
Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes photos and people who help make your wonderful show possible. We all know it doesn't "just happen" so your blog was very enjoyable. I have to share that your Fill the Freezer episode aired a few days before my husband left for a four day weekend to pick up our grandson in Victoria, BC and bring him down to S. California for his annual visit without mom and dad. It reminded me of my weekends spent cooking and freezing when my sons were growing up and I was working long hours. We now get a lot of company from Canada (son and family, brothers and sisters and families) and the inspiration from that show totally filled my freezer. With hubby away I didn't have to stop and cook regular meals or even engage in conversations. I just chopped, cooked and froze food. Thank you for the inspiration. I love your show.
Tess in TN On Tuesday, August 6 at 1:58 pm
Ree, those roast beef sandwiches and chips look delicious!
Linda M. On Tuesday, August 6 at 2:11 pm
Ree, Loving these posts about the crew and the show! Thanks so much for sharing!
P.S. Love your "new" haircolor
JOANNA SHOEMAKER On Tuesday, August 6 at 2:21 pm
I love reading your posts and looking at your great photos. I would love to have the camera you have (and lenses)…mine isn't nearly as advanced as yours. MY QUESTION though…this has probably been talked about before, but I've always wondered if the "Lodge" setting, (where you shoot from shows), is YOUR actual lodge (where you live sometimes)? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that place. I would die to have it & have the view of the wide open space. You're so lucky!!! God has really blessed you and your family Keep up the great work!!!
Carol Alex On Tuesday, August 6 at 3:00 pm
Oooooh, to be a fly on the wall and watch all of this stuff first hand. This is all so interesting, which is probably what you thought the first time you did it. Your daughter is such a cutie!
kathleen On Tuesday, August 6 at 3:13 pm
Memories! My friends and I used to host game-day luncheon for my son's high school football team at my house. It was fun trying to figure out just how much spaghetti to cook for forty big boys. We figured 20 pounds. Then my cafeteria friend told me 20 pounds of spaghetti feeds the entire elementary school….I think we only used 10 pounds fpr the football players!
elizabethcooks On Tuesday, August 6 at 3:27 pm
Great photos Ree. You are only busy Mama, but I know all those football players and your family really appreciate all your wonderful, yummy cooking. Those chips look amazing, will have to make some for our cookout tomorrow, thanks so much for sharing. I love reading your comments, lots of chuckles and smiles.
Susan On Tuesday, August 6 at 4:03 pm
Ha! Ha! I wasn't having the greatest of days until I read your blog. Now I'm grinning from ear to ear. I love your show and now I'm a blog fan! Thanks for the wonderful recipes and the laughs.
P On Tuesday, August 6 at 4:09 pm
glad you are having fun!! looks like everyone is loving being at the ranch!!!
Barbsra C. On Tuesday, August 6 at 6:59 pm
Lots of energy for your fixings! How did the roast turn out?
Toni E On Tuesday, August 6 at 7:04 pm
Yes, along with others I do like it when you fill in the back story of how the shows are produced and get to meet the folks behind the scenes.
Beng a country girl, my favorite episodes are the ones with ranch work, and feeding hungry cowboys and cowgirls is the theme.
And speaking of feeding all those football boys! How fun! Nothing is more rewarding than feeding folks who are hungry from working/playing hard.
Debbie Marshall On Tuesday, August 6 at 7:43 pm
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching your show and seeing the beautiful landscape of the farm and your happy family. It makes me smile to see your father in law at many family dinners..He doesn't like to miss a good meal at your house ,and it shows. My husbands father was the same way, and he passed away some years ago and I still smile when I am cooking a big dinner and think of him.
Robin from Kent Wa On Tuesday, August 6 at 7:51 pm
thanks for sharing, you do not realize how much goes into a 30 min show, i loved the photos
Allison On Tuesday, August 6 at 8:31 pm

Tessa On Tuesday, August 6 at 10:48 pm
I just want to say that I love love how GREEN OK looks this time of year! It's a beautiful sight to behold. Almost as beautiful as my beloved Montana home…almost….
Kara On Tuesday, August 6 at 11:02 pm
Has anyone else noticed that Ree does this thing every once in a while where she'll say, at the end of a post, something along the lines of "I'm a blogger, and bloggers blog!" She said it at the end of the post previous to this one. It just makes me wonder. It seems like a snarky little way of pushing back at someone that is pushing her to blog. If you think about it. . .with the Food Network thing and the Federated Media thing. . .do you think there's some kind of contract about how frequently she blogs? And that when she's super busy like this she really would like to take a longer break, but she's required to post anyway? Something about her tone just makes me think that. I guess it doesn't matter, it just seems a little creepy.
Oh and along those same lines–I noticed a commenter above asked for an update on her brother Mike. But haven't you noticed that she pretty much has never posted about him again, since really going big? It's almost like they (Food Network? Federated Media?) told her she can't talk about her brother anymore or something. I don't know, but it's a really weird and really noticeable change.
cindy On Wednesday, August 7 at 5:21 am
You had a very busy day.Thank you for shareing it. I wondered how that work.You worked in the kitchen all day cooked for the football players and still got to go home and spend time with your family. then you shared it with us I love it Hope you have a great day today
DCourtney On Wednesday, August 7 at 6:11 am
Ree! I look up to you so much from a parenting aspect being I am a single mom, and just keeping it together–can't believe you did all that work for the football team! Super Mom!
Mary On Wednesday, August 7 at 7:15 am
It is fun to see behind the scenes.
I now picture this crew when I watch your show
Lisa On Wednesday, August 7 at 8:34 am
Thanks for the great idea on the colorful bagged fruit. It's so simple, yet it never occurred to me. I'm going to stock the fridge. I'm looking forward to receiving your new cookbook! Continued good luck to you and your lovely family.
Kelcey P On Wednesday, August 7 at 10:02 am
Ree, that roast with the rosemary and banana peppers looks TO DIE FOR!!! Could you please share the recipe with us?
Wolf Warren On Wednesday, August 7 at 10:19 am
Thanks for a great look into what you do at home and for FOOD NETWORK. I have to admit that your up there with Alton Brown in my book. Understand that I'm a biy of a Geek as well as a Trucker. So comparing you to Alton is a High Compliment from me.
Robyn Donaldson On Wednesday, August 7 at 3:27 pm
I am salivating over the roast with rosemary! Wow, you never really know how much goes into production and how many people are involved in the process, outstanding! I could taste the tenderness of that roast and have promised myself that this fall I will finally invest in that crockpot or roaster I have wanted for quite some time now.
Donna J. On Wednesday, August 7 at 4:49 pm
Fun posts.
Rain blessings!!!
Nita On Friday, August 9 at 6:47 pm
Thanks for sharing the crew with us. I've always wondered how your days work out. Now a burning question? So pays for alllll the food you use for the shoots? And do you make enough for everyone? Lol
Skitzerone On Saturday, August 17 at 11:11 am
I have been curious about how you keep your oven so clean for every show.
Tyann On Sunday, August 18 at 10:12 am
Why do you have a "bunk house" and "your house" to cook in?
Mary Ballard On Wednesday, September 11 at 3:19 pm
Your daughter is just a miniature you. So cute.

Sophia, Jacob Top Popular Baby Names List
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene. The Social Security Administration has put out its list of the most popular baby names from last year. Topping the list for girls: Sophia. For boys, it's Jacob. As for fast rising contenders, Aria is becoming popular for girls. It seems parents are inspired by "Game of Thrones." Boys names gaining popularity: Major, King and Messiah.
A few other names of interest: David is hanging on at number 19, and Steve, where is Steve? Oh, 762.
It's a little too exotic.
GREENE: I guess so. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

TriMet provides bus, light rail and commuter rail transit services in the Portland, Oregon, metro area. We connect people with their community, while easing traffic congestion and reducing air pollution—making the Portland area a better place to live. More
Validating Your Ticket
Time-stamp your ticket before boarding MAX or WES
Before you can use a ticket to ride MAX Light Rail, WES Commuter Rail or Portland Streetcar, it needs to be "validated." There are validators near the ticket machines at MAX and WES stations, and on board the Streetcar.
All tickets purchased from a ticket machine are pre-validated, so you are free to board the train. Otherwise, insert your ticket into the validator next to the machine. It will stamp the date, zone and expiration time on it, making it valid for immediate use.
Tickets are good for 2 hours
A validated ticket gives you 2 hours to board any train or bus. It's your proof of payment, so keep the ticket until you complete your trip.
Streetcars have validators on board
There are ticket machines and validators on board the Portland Streetcar. If you already have a ticket and you begin your trip on a streetcar, stamp the ticket in the validator on board.

Cavaliers win 7-0, Lady Jackets win 11-1
Southern Lee took round one of the county baseball rivalry, and the first-ever Cape Fear Valley Conference meeting between the Cavaliers and Lee County, with Christian Wenger's one-hitter leading a 7-0 victory Tuesday night at Lee County.
Wenger, a senior southpaw, allowed five Yellow Jacket base runners on the night and only one Jacket, with one out in the third inning, to reach second base. Wenger was accurate, walking one, and kept the Jackets off balance.
With Wenger's work, the Cavaliers (9-3, 5-1) didn't need much offense. Seven Yellow Jacket errors gave the Cavaliers plenty of help. The Cavs needed only five hits to chalk up their seven runs.
Southern Lee was gifted two unearned runs to take the lead in the second. Maxx Taylor and Conner Showalter started the frame hitting solid singles, Taylor shooting one into right-center field and Showalter lining one into left.
The Jackets got one out on Marcos Collazo's sacrifice bunt and the second out when Alston Scott struck out Cody Ellis.
Turtle Windish's grounder to third resulted in Austin Bullock making a wild throw to first and two runs scoring.
The Lee County (5-6, 4-2) third was the home side's best chance to score, but even there Wenger had to work out of only a minor threat after the Jackets got a one-out walk by Matt Hutchens followed by a single by Spencer Faulk.
Wenger got a strikeout and a fly gloved by Ryan Holmes in left to retire the side.
The big Cavalier inning, with the aid of three Lee County errors, was a four-run fifth.
Cullen Boyette's long fly, falling at the base of the fence in left-center field, was good for an RBI double making it 3-0 Cavs. An error allowed another run, followed by an error giving the Cavs bases loaded and one out.
With the Cavs already receiving four outs to work with in the inning, Collazo came through on a suicide squeeze and got a single out of it to boot. Ellis followed with a two-strike safety squeeze making it 6-0 Cavs.
Scott pitched five innings for the Jackets allowing two earned runs and getting three strikeouts. Bullock pitched the last two innings, giving up no hits and one unearned run, for the Jackets.
Wenger finished with six strikeouts. He goes to a 3-2 record and it's his third complete game of the season.
Lee County will travel to Gray's Creek for a CFVC game at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Southern Lee will host Douglas Byrd in CFVC play at 7 p.m. Friday.
Lee County 11, Southern Lee 1
On Lee County's softball diamond Tuesday evening, the Lady Yellow Jackets (6-2, 5-1) hit double digits in the run column for the fifth straight game and ran their winning streak to five with a five-inning win over the Lady Cavaliers (2-9, 2-4).
Both the Jackets and Cavs came into the evening off of wins, Lee County with a 19-0 rout over Westover Monday and Southern Lee with a 9-5 win versus Terry Sanford back on Friday.
Lee County got on the board in the home half of the second only for Southern Lee to match the run in the third. The Lady Jackets plated four runs in their third and kept the bats going in the fourth and fifth.
Leadoff hitter Caroline Wilson went 2 for 4 with a run and two RBI. Tessa Wilson and Zizi Hammond had two RBI each. Whitney Sanford and Noelle Beattie scored two runs each as all 10 Jackets who saw action got at least a hit or a run. Caroline Wilson, Tessa Wilson, Chandler Patteron, Morgan Pedley and Savannah Patterson each had a double.
Just like the baseball slate, Lee County will play at Gray's Creek Thursday night and Southern Lee will host Douglas Byrd Friday night.

it was fourth grade music class with sister anne josephine, and i was completely engaged in my most favorite activity – passing notes back and forth with my best friend, lisa.
(for those of you who are not old enough to remember, note passing was an archaic method of communication students utilized before the invention of text messaging.)
anyway, back to my story … the note had made it about 3 people back when sister turned around and caught the exchange – mid pass.
suddenly my worst nightmare came to life as sister and her big, black punishing cane came barreling down the aisle. she snatched the note from my neighbor's hands and opened it to read. her eyes lifted above the readers that hung on her nose and then accusingly – at me.
"margaret anne, do you care to read this note out loud to the class?"
no, i most certainly did not. and so – she did. i can't remember exactly what the note said anymore, but lets just say, it wasn't one of my prouder moments. therefore i did what any thoughtful, rational 11 year-old girl would do – i ran out of the classroom and hid the rest of the period in a bathroom stall, my head hung over the commode in a failed attempt to purge my humiliation.
aaaah, those were the good ol' days, before Facebook, blogs, and email … before we could so easily pen anonymous notes and comments using bogus gmail addresses and pseudonyms. back then – we hid in stalls. today, we hide behind a glowing screen and avatars, shielding us from ever feeling the shame or witnessing the hurt our words leave behind.
you see, it's easy to be bold (read: hurtful/critical/mean) while trolling around on our one-way bully pulpit, protected from our better sensibilities that the threat of exposure – or even a little face-to-face personal contact – might have corrected.
in fourth grade, the only bully pulpit i knew of was the stool on which this 4 ft. tall nun stood to see above the podium.
still, i went home that afternoon and even as i confessed to my mom the day's crime, i was sure she would agree, reading my note aloud was cruel and unjust. but my mom turned and drove home a lesson that i will never forget and forever observe. she said:
never, ever put something in writing that you wouldn't sign, read aloud or speak, face-to-face.
and yet, today it happens all the time. truth is, no one is safe and no one is innocent.
but our words are powerful and when written, have a lifespan and a breadth that's as hard to measure as it is to contain.
that means we have a greater responsibility to be discerning – because no longer are we talking about sister anne josephine reading a note aloud within the confines of a classroom. today, those walls don't exist.
so ask yourself the next time you find yourself furiously typing that caustic comment: could you shamelessly read aloud? would you dare sign your name? and is it a conversation you'd be willing to have, face-to-face?
if the answer is no to any of the above then i have just one word for you: DELETE.
The thing about quotes on the internet is that you cannot confirm their validity. ~ Abraham Lincoln

Grace Slentz could be forgiven if her eyes wander during tutoring sessions. The Walker Elementary School third-grader faces a gallery of delightful images, each with a story to tell.
The Crestview Photo Club's latest major exhibition graces the Crestview Public Library's north display wall during March and April, taking patrons on a grand tour throughout the region, across the United States and around the world.
A mysterious cemetery, splashing waterfalls, a peaceful cypress swamp, a stately castle, a graceful old bridge, an inquisitive snake and even a junk yard of rusting classic cars: Such is the world, as seen through local shutterbugs' viewfinders.
With each photo matted in a black frame, only enjoyment of the local artists' current show rival the subject matter's breadth and diversity.
Choosing a favorite among them might be hard for some, but not for Grace, who immediately chose Peter Hoffman's "Navarre Bay" as hers.
"I like the background," she said of the pastoral view of the Navarre Bridge and Santa Rosa Island. "The background is colorful and the water is shiny."
The Crestview Photography Club members' works are exhibited through April on the Crestview Public Library's display wall. The club, which meets 6 p.m. every second Monday at the library, welcomes interested photographers.
Contact club president Mira Crisp, firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.facebook.com/crestviewphotoclub or www.crestviewphotoclub.wordpress.com for more details.

Strong NGO partnerships enabled: working together creates real change
The brief:
In examining future NGO partnership opportunities, ANZ wanted to understand the different possible models of partnership it might consider, as well as looking at a range of different organisations that might be candidates for partnership.
Our solution:
Futureye developed an analytical framework, setting out six different models of partnership ranging from simple philanthropy and volunteering through to partnerships for socially responsible business, and 'thought leading' transformation.
Futureye developed five best practice case studies in each of the six categories, with one in-depth study in each category. Futureye used these studies to make recommendations about the benefits, weaknesses, and resource implications of the categories of partnership. Futureye also examined a wide range of potential partner organisations, providing detail to ANZ about their activities and partnership experience. The results, along with strategic recommendations, were summarised in a report for key ANZ executives.
The result:
As a result, ANZ has a sound understanding of all of its options for pursuing partnerships with NGOs, and a strong analytical basis for considering the opportunities, strengths and weaknesses of different types of partnership. Futureye also provided advice on forest policy accountability framework and reputation risk.

There must be something wrong with me. (In a heretofore-unsuspected dimension, I mean.) If you have cable and have turned it on at any point in the past 3 months you know that the Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg Adam McKay-helmed comedy vehicle The Other Guys gets played approximately 50 times per day. Now: every time I'm flipping channels and see it, I watch some of it.
And find it hilarious yet again.
Every time. It never gets old. Every scene. All told I've probably seen it like 10+ times by now. To the point where I actually notice that they must be showing an 'edited-for-TV version' that includes a few extra scenes that weren't in the theatrical/DVD version. And I get excited about those scenes. Its humor just doesn't wane for me. It's actually getting kind of creepy. Like, is it radioactive? What dark comedy powers have they tapped into?
Anyway, so, when I was flipping around last night and saw that the Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly Adam-McKay-helmed comedy vehicle Stepbrothers was coming on, I decided to try to watch it. And what was my reaction?
"This seems dumb."
I guess it's like becoming a wine connoisseur, your taste buds develop to the point where small differences are inflated into huge importance. Yeah. So that makes me like a fine-wine connoisseur. Something like that.

Pearl Harbor, the assassination of JFK, Challenger exploding before our eyes, the twin towers falling into the streets on that awful September day -- all of these blows and more could not extinguish the great beacon; it was simply turned off by those inside. It was on Nov. 6 that the music died.

The Library

site_name: 'Poetry 180',
This poet invented a new word
for her poem: "my withness," meaning
a person who is always with you.
Half the day lost, staring
at this window. I wanted to know
just one true thing
about the soul, but I left thinking
for thought, and now -
two inches of snow have fallen
over the meadow. Where did I go,
how long was I out looking
for you?, who would never leave me,
my withness, my here.

Tony Romo Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
Dallas Cowboys shining quarterback Tony Romo has a success story few expected. After originally going undrafted out of college, Romo became a rookie free agent, was signed to the Cowboys and nearly faced a cut from the roster until he caught a break and worked his way to starting quarterback. Rightfully receiving the Ed Block Courage Award, Romo is the story of hard work, dedication and timing.
