This Decorative Ruffles n' Buttons Pillow from Shelley Detton would look striking on a black or white couch! Easy free sewing projects like this are great weekend craft ideas or fun gifts to make for family and friends!
- 2 15" x 8.5" rectangles, cut from black fabric
- 2 3.5" x 35" strips of cream fabric (for ruffles)
- 2 1.5" x 35" strips of contrasting fabric (for accent trim on ruffles)
- Pellon Decorbond fusible interfacing, cut to 4.5" x 14.5"
- Assorted fabric-covered buttons with shanks
- 2 15" strips of ribbon
Hot glue gun
Use 1/4" for all seams in this project. Stitch the accent trim, with right sides facing, along one side of each ruffle strip.
Press seam toward accent fabric. With wrong side facing up, turn under 1/4" of the raw, unsewn edge of accent strip.
Then fold strip in half lengthwise to completely hide the original seam, which is pressed away from ruffle. Stitch close to original seam to secure the folded edges of accent fabric. Press well.
Create gathers in ruffle strip by using basting stitch on machine. Pull the bobbin thread to gather fabric sufficiently to fit along the 15" measurement of the black side pieces.
Place gathered ruffle strip, FACE UP (as opposed to right sides facing) on top of the face up side piece. Arrange gathers to fit, pin, and stitch in place. Repeat with other side. Gently flatten the ruffles a bit with your hot iron to create creases in the ruffles.
Fuse the interfacing on the backside of center piece, leaving 1/4" on all sides free of interfacing.
Place the center piece, face down, on top of one side of the ruffle and side piece. Pin and stitch together, then press the seam toward center. Repeat with other ruffle and side piece.
Stitch ribbon in place on both sides of center, sewing both long edges of each ribbon.
Place the fabric covered buttons where you want them to go, leaving at least 1.5" on top and bottom without buttons or you'll have a hard time trying to sew the pillow together later on.
Use a marker or fabric pencil and carefully put a dot beneath each button where the shank touches the fabric.
Moving one button at a time, carefully poke through the fabric+interfacing at each marked dot with a tiny Xacto knife or other very small, poky tool. If the hole/slit is too big, you'll struggle later on. Gently push/coax the shank of the button through the fabric+interfacing. If the hole is small, the button will stay in place for now.
When all buttons are pushed through, carefully turn fabric over to access all the shanks poking through the backside.
Using a hot glue gun, squirt a small but generous blob of hot glue around each shank, making sure that the glue oozes inside the little loop of the shank to hold it in place and keep the fabric from fraying around the hole. Let harden thoroughly.
Stitch the raw ends of the ruffle in place in all 4 places.
For the backing, cut 2 rectangles that are the same height as the pillow front (15") but the width is determined by adding about 3" to whatever the half point is on the pillow. In this case, the pillow front is 15" high x 21.5" wide. I cut 2 rectangles at 15" x 14" (14 = 11 + 3).
Press under 1/4" of one of the 15" edges on each rectangle. Press under again to hide the raw edges. Stitch along that "hem".
Place pillow front face up on table. Place the 2 rectangles face down, aligning outer raw edges so that there is about a 3" overlap over the middle of the pillow. Pin in place all around outer edge of pillow.
Stitch 1/4" all the way around, clip corners to reduce bulk. Turn right side out, press edges. Insert pillow form and you're done!

This is a very cute pillow and I love the black and cream middle. These colors go with a lot and the buttons gives it that pop. So simple and easy tutorial for this Ruffles n buttons pillow. If I was using it for more than decoration like putting behind your back I would use lace or something soft so the buttons would not hurt your back. All it takes sometimes to refresh your room is add some new pillows.What do you think?

I didn't see any measurements for the center piece though I suppose it would depend on the pillow form. This is a very cute pattern. I'm ready for new bed pillows, so I think I will try this in different colors of green, cream and yellow.

The vibrant Breton province in northern France is one of the world's most fervent and festive enclaves of Celtic culture. Noels Celtiques is a collection of traditional and contemporary vocal music sung in Breton (the Celtic language of Brittany) by the celebrated ...more
Founded in 1977, the L'Ensemble Choral du Bout du Monde (the "World's End Choir") brought together traditional instrumental performers and over a hundred vocalists from over forty native choral groups throughout Brittany, the celebrated Breton province in Northern France.
Accompanied by bagpipes, keyboards, harps, guitars, flutes, claviers, percussion, conremuse, and the Grand Organ of the Landévennec Abbey, the ensemble keeps the native music alive through both traditional and original choral music in their Breton language (the Celtic dialect of Brittany).
Since 1989, composer, musician, and arranger Christian Desbordes has led the ensemble. In 1991, Desbordes composed the music for a theatrical production, La passion Celtique / Ar Basion Vras.
They recorded albums in 1992 and 1994, and in 1997, L'Ensemble Choral du Bout du Monde recorded Noëls Celtiques: Christmas Music from Brittany for Green Linnet, which won AFIM's "Best Seasonal Music Album" in 1998.

We've always thought the Duchess of Cambridge was a real doll, but it turns out she may not agree.
During a visit to Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, the expectant royal was presented with a Barbie-like doll of herself from a young admirer, but had to admit she didn't see the resemblance.
"Oh no, is that me? Is that meant to be me?" Kate asked Dayna Miller, 11, with a smile. "Does my hair really look like that?"
Miller told the Mirror that she reassured Kate that she was much prettier than the doll, and "she laughed and seemed happy."
And while the plastic princess may be wearing a knockoff dress, Catherine herself was busy recycling real designer items from her own wardrobe. The red coat she wore with her favorite Strathearn tartan scarf to the Dumfries House tour is an Armani she last wore to Prince William's military academy graduation, in 2006.

Kim Kardashian's pregnancy announcement didn't just shock her fans – it also came as a surprise to her family.
"I'm so proud of my sisters, but I'll be married before I have a baby," Rob Kardashian said while hosting the CIROC Vodka New Year's Eve Countdown at STK Miami on Monday.
Expectant Kim, 32, is still going through a divorce after her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, while Kourtney – who is mom to Mason, 3, and Penelope, 6 months – is not married to her children's father, Scott Disick.
But when asked about an impending proposal from West to his sister, Kardashian says, "I think everyone is just excited about and focused on the baby right now."
As for how Kim broke the news to the reality television clan, she "told everyone individually," the Arthur George designer says.
But Kardashian, 25, couldn't be happier for the soon-to-be parents. "Kim and Kanye are over the moon happy," he says. "I'm so excited to be an uncle again!"
While Kardashian says his rule is "married first" before starting a family, don't expect him to settle down anytime soon. He spent the evening with friends in a private room upstairs where they had their own casino table, dealer and pool table.
As the night came to a close, Kardashian Tweeted at 7 a.m. "Goodnight. Happy New Year," with a photo of the sun rising over Miami.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Effective partnering is essential for success in science mergers, acquisitions, alliances, and between departments, but partnering results often fall short. Managing partnering as if it were a project and better partnering meetings significantly improve partnering results.
"We just got acquired by a giant pharma company. They say they're going to leave us alone. They just want to partner with us to learn about how we model our cells."
"We're partnering also, with a company like ours that focuses on Phase II arthritis drug development. I can't imagine how we'll keep track of who owns what."
"And I can't imagine how cross-company partnering could work. We can't partner in our own company with the other departments that are supposed to work with us."
In 2013, working in biotech and pharma means working with partnering. It's not possible to read an industry publication or view a biotech association web site without encountering news about the latest deals, the most recent merger and alliance agreements.
We partner across companies because few if any large companies attempt to do discovery or Phase I work. We partner in alliances because we hope/expect that pooling our efforts will benefit us all. We partner between departments in our own organizations because our organizations are flat, decentralized. They lack the kind of formal hierarchy that works well for banks and insurance companies but would stifle the free-flowing communications and thinking necessary for drug development.
Our focus on partnering deals masks the problems we encounter when we attempt to translate the deals into everyday work. Two thirds of general business mergers and acquisitions fail, the large literature on the subject tells us. We lack similar accessible data on our own industry, and on alliance and interdepartmental partnering performance, because of our stringent intellectual property practices. However, our everyday experience strongly suggests that our alliances and interdepartmental partnering encounter similar difficulties.
We encounter a host of puzzling, troubling partnering problems. The same large company that initially told us they would "leave us alone" now wants to make "minor" changes to our procedures that we know will have major negative impacts. No one in the large organization can tell us who can answer our questions. People we haven't met before appear at our labs or engage us in conference calls where they demand to know why they haven't received information we didn't know they needed.
Most troubling, and often most pointed, are the conflicts we encounter among departments attempting to partner in our own organization. We appreciate that quality standards must be high, but must our QA auditors come after us with such a vengeance? Do they really need everything they're asking for? Do they really expect us to drop everything we're doing just to meet their artificial deadlines and emergencies?
Though daunting, these problems are understandable. People can't tell us who's responsible in our partner organizations because they don't know. In fact, we probably can't answer such questions about our own organization. In science, all of our organizations need that kind of ambiguity in order to keep the fragile process of inquiry alive.
Effective partnering meetings provide a forum to manage the partnering process and increase partnering success. Meetings should be scheduled closely enough together to address issues and track action items, but separated enough so participants can implement plans. Meetings must involve the key players, usually a vertical cross-section in each organization—senior managers to give general direction, mid-levels to do the work, and grass-roots people to provide a reality check and hands-on insights.
Because partnering meetings build an infrastructure engaging two groups, they need an agenda that works intelligently on four tasks:
Taking stock. The whole group devises and tracks measures that accurately, objectively assess the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of partnering performance.
Building trust. The personality profile tools our HR departments use for leadership training—Myers Briggs, DISC, Personalysis, FIRO-B, etc.—all provide valuable insight to help people build the trust needed to bring organizational agreements to life.
Clarifying goals. Disagreements about partnering practices often trace back to differing interpretations of partnering goals. Every partnering group needs to discuss, write, and sign off on a set of 6–10 performance and communications goals they agree to aim for in order to make the partnering successful.
Implementing processes. Partnering groups ask what 3–4 key processes must work smoothly in order to achieve their partnering goals. They usually plan and implement processes for responding to changes, resolving conflicts and ensuring that all members of the group give and receive necessary information when and in the appropriate form required.
One word provides the criterion for assessing partnering meeting effectiveness: specificity. It's nice if meeting discussions are interesting and participants are polite. It's most likely for meetings to have lasting results if discussions are specific and result in detailed lists of who will do what when.
Initially encountering these ideas, many people express surprise that such extensive effort is necessary to ensure partnering success. When they compare the effort they've given their own, troubled partnering, they realize that they've severely neglected it, expecting it to somehow unfold on its own.
It helps to think of partnering as if it were a project. Mergers, acquisitions, and alliances may confuse us, but we know projects. In science, we live, breathe, and succeed with projects every day. Managing partnering like a project means doing the same things with partnering that we do to make projects successful: assigning leaders, clarifying individuals roles and responsibilities, setting clear deliverables and schedules, establishing effective processes for exchanging information, and solving problems.
Our partnering activities bring so many promising ideas and people together. It's time we learned to make the most of them.

Audie Award Finalist, Inspirational/Faith-Based Fiction, 2014
Merrill Krause longs for a family of her own, but she's bound by a promise to her dying mother to care for her father and older brothers until they no longer need her. She enjoys being part of the family business, harvesting ice during the brutal Minnesota winters. Merrill actively takes part, possessing a keen ability to work with the horses - despite the advice of her good friend, who disapproves of her unladylike behavior.
When Rurik Jorgenson arrives in their small town to join his uncle doing carpentry, he soon crosses paths with Merrill. But unlike other men, who are often frightened away by her older brothers, Rurik isn't intimidated by them or by Merrill's strength and lack of femininity. As he thrives under the mentorship of his uncle, Rurik dreams of inheriting the business and claiming Merrill as his wife. But while he is determined to start a new life, the past is determined to follow him when his former fiancée and her brother show up in town. Soon Rurik is put in the center of a major scandal that may damage his relationship with Merrill. Can they learn to trust God - and each other - and embrace the promise of love?

"Hated for this to end"
Great listen by a wonderful author. Tracie Peterson really delivered on this book. A unique storyline. Merrill Krause is a feisty only daughter in a household of German-American men in Minnesota. Rurik is of Swedish descent and Peterson does a lovely job of interweaving that information. Nice character arcs as Merrill faces changes in her life that push her towards giving up her job of being the replacement mother in the household of big bossy men. Meanwhile Rurik, a real sweetheart, is trying to shake off an unwanted engagement that was arranged by their Swedish parents when they were children. His best friend is a scallawag, which the reader will begin to suspect straight away, but Rurik wants to see the best in him. My favorite secondary character was Rurik's uncle, who is seriously ill. Lovely romance, cool (cold!) setting, unique storyline, great narration, beautiful author's voice, excellent craft, all make for a superb listen. This will be in my best of 2013 audiobooks and likely in best books I "read" in 2013.

Wine Details
Wine Description
(From 2010 Vintage) Relying on naturally-occurring yeasts, we fermented 80% of the grapes in 900-gallon French oak casks, called foudres, with the remainder in previously- used small French oak barrels. We then aged the wine six months on its lees (the spent yeast) in neutral barrels. The combination of the right clones and cool growing region produced juicy tropical fruit and lemongrass flavors with a touch of minerality at the end of a long finish that are perfect with a wide range of food, including grilled seafood, chicken, oysters, creamy pastas dishes and summer salads.
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2011 Vintage) Pale yellow. Orange blossom, grapefruit pith, nettles, white pepper and a pungent whiff of herbs. Brisk, lemony and penetrating, but with a leesy hint and saline minerality giving surprising pliancy to the middle palate. Finishes quite dry, with firm citrus zest and mineral notes.
citrus and lychee notes.

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines(From 2004 Vintage) A younger and somewhat simpler version of the wine above, it shares its strong bent towards the green side of the spectrum, and with its convincing fruit, bright acidity and ability to age for a few years, it has every chance of catching up the 2003 version in very short order.

The news coming from Newtown Conn. was absolutely horrifying. As I listened to the news reports and each report became more devastating. To have 6- and 7-year-old children getting slaughtered along with their teachers is not acceptable.
Put yourself in the role as a parent hearing the news and going to the school and waiting for a few hours before finding out that your child has been killed. You send your children to school an hour or so before this happened and they never come back home.
Another scenario is children that escaped the shooting but knew that other children were killed that were their friends and also their teachers who were trying to protect them.
I totally agree that they need to address the gun laws and certainly don't need to have ammunition for the guns that shoot 20 to 30 rounds. I know very little about guns but we need to get in touch with the people in Washington to get gun laws in tact. I realize that mental health also plays a big part in what happened, but I am not sure how to deal with that problem.
I really believe that the one thing in the schools should be resource officers placed in the schools. I know that they had security in place but this person shot his way into the school or else just broke the glass in the door.
Had there been a Resource Officer in place that day he would have been in the hall and could have stopped the person with the gun even if he had to shot him. That seems very harsh but it could have saved all those children and teachers from being killed.
My prayers go out to all the families that have been effected by this horrible person. This could have happened in our community so it would be helpful if at school meetings this subject would be brought up. I know that Williamsport High School has an resource officer but we should look at all the schools.

My First Experience with a Composting Toilet
This spring, Hampshire College Professor Gabriel Arboleda taught an unusual class: Reinventing the Toilet (course description). Addressing the fact that a single flush toilet can contaminate thousands of gallons in just one year of operation, he and his students will attempt to build alternative workable toilet models.
An important class? I think so. Many Tiny House folks would agree, having found that the mobile lifestyle necessitates flexibility when it comes to things like electricity and plumbing. Of course, there's an easy solution already at play, and it's something we don't think twice about doing with cows: composting.
I recently tried my first official composting toilet, and loved it. Our friends Pepper and Dylan built this awesome composting outhouse on their property in Healdsburg, CA, and were kind enough to let me, ahem, try it out.
Who knew an outhouse could be so beautiful?
In addition to the requisite crescent cut out, the outhouse has a light, a nice big bucket of a cedar chips, and a magazine rack!
A pleasure to use
Plenty of open-minded people like Pepper and Dylan are pushing the envelope with practical, conscientious ways to dispose of waste: while we wait for Arboleda and his crew to envision the next big alternative, we can manage pretty comfortably. While making a separate outhouse is a viable option, the bucket and cedar chips method can easily be applied in any tiny house.
In addition to the composting toilet, there's the incinerating toilet. Incinerating toilets are a bit more high-tech than a bucket and some cedar chips (though there are plenty of more advanced composting toilets available). Essentially, they incinerate your waste, converting it to a clean, non-polluting ash. An incinerating toilet can be powered a regular outlet, by gas, propane, or of course, solar panels. However, it uses more electricity than a composting toilet, and doesn't provide rich and useful fertilizer!
No matter your preferred commode, there's a reason colleges like Hampshire are highlighting the urgency of reinventing something most of us take for granted. We are far too distanced the effects from our own, for lack of a better word, crap. With the help of sophisticated indoor plumbing, most people never had to accept that what comes out of their body actually goes somewhere.
We want to live responsibly but we also want to live in a sanitary and safe. When choosing how to outfit our houses, we can think outside the porcelain box and attempt to do both.

Emmy Nomination Preview 2013 - Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama
Can anybody knock off Aaron Paul and Peter Dinklage?

JoyefulI'm really, REALLY rooting for Patinkin and Mikkelsen. Though given the state of this category, I can't really be mad either way.
Also really glad you mentioned Charles Esten. Nashville is widely inconsistent, but he's the reason I stick with it. His performance is stellar week after week.June 11, 2013 at 1:36PM ESTReply to CommentLike (1)Latest Likes:1 Anonymous
smreynoSuch a Murderer's Row.
I was looking at the ballot and wondering if Michael Cudlitz would've had a better chance for a nom if he'd submitted as lead. I was really struggling to fill out the 6 slots in the lead actor category with who I'd like to see there, whereas Supporting is incredibly deep.
Much as I love Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau really should get the GoT spot this year. I feel much the same way about Jonathan Banks over Aaron Paul. They were arguably just given better stuff to do but...God, they were awesome doing it. And they carried large portions of their respective seasons. Even if things were iffy in a given ep, you could count on the Jaime/Brienne scenes, or Mike's general world-weary awesomeness.
Mads Mikkelsen is still the nomination that would make me the happiest, but I remain in Save Hannibal! mode. Even though it has already been saved.June 11, 2013 at 3:39PM ESTReply to Comment
danSMReyno - Is Best Actor thin? I haven't look at the ballot, but that category is usually a nightmare. I think Supporting has MUCH more depth, but I think that the top tier of Lead is so entrenched that it's really hard to imagine Cudlitz cracking that field either...

KafkaI really love your columns and the podcast with Sepinwall but I gotta ask you Daniel.... how can you call yourself a serious TV critic and not watch "Southland" which has been the best cop show since "The Shield"?June 11, 2013 at 4:41PM ESTReply to Comment
danKafka - VERY easily. I've seen episodes of "Southland." Many. And I respect "Southland." It's just not a show I've watched regularly because it's not a genre that is a favorite of mine. Some day, when time allows, I'll probably watch more, but on a week-to-week basis, police procedurals don't grip me. "The Shield" wasn't a show I watched regularly either. When I was able to marathon the entire series, I loved it, but in week-to-week installments, it just wasn't my thing.
And nobody watches everything. There's too much.
And that's how I can call myself a serious TV critic!
-DanielJune 11, 2013 at 4:48PM EST
KafkaSo in a few years when you get around to binge watching it we can look forward to a column on the show?June 11, 2013 at 4:56PM EST
danKafka - Plausible? But more likely, it'll just be added to my body of cultural knowledge. For years, I couldn't talk about "The Shield" and that was sad. Now I can talk about "The Shield" and that's happy! And even now, I know the aspects of "Southland" I've always enjoyed in the small doses I've watched, but I just can't discuss the show with any specific authority when it comes to things like this. I always like to discuss everything with as much authority as possible.

joevladI'm really hoping some voters will notice Freddie Highmore's work. He is more accomplished in Bates Motel than in any of his previous film work and despite his accent fluctuations, he hits so many precise, honest moments. That Anthony Perkins smile should secure him a nomination on its own!
I do wonder at the network's positioning of him as supporting, however. This is always a point of contention during awards seasons, but it seems particularly egregious in this case. I think he surpasses Farmiga's acting and he carries just as many scenes.June 11, 2013 at 7:53PM ESTReply to Comment

Honorable Mention: Scott Wilson on The Walking Dead, a truly great supporting performance where he's never the focal point but always manages to make any scene better just by being in it.
Mads Mikkelsen would be great, but I can't include him because I'm waaaay behind on Hannibal and I'm sure I haven't seen his best stuff yet.June 12, 2013 at 3:18AM ESTReply to Comment
ChesterfieldSo, not even a mention of Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister? It seems like every scene he's played in this show has been electric, be it him admonishing his children for their lecherous ways or going toe-to-toe with Diana Rigg's Lady Olenna Tyrell.
And he was just about the best thing in the show last year as well.June 12, 2013 at 4:25AM ESTReply to Comment

Chesterfield...because he's too badass to care about that stuff.
Seriously, that is too bad. I would have loved to see him get some recognition, even if he's not playing very many notes on the character (there is a lot of contempt, disappointment and steely determination), he is playing each and every one expertly. And as I said: he's electric in every scene.June 13, 2013 at 3:56AM EST

Bob (guest)Matthew and Mary were the heart of Downton Abbey, but it was Matthew's quick smile and joyful optimism rather than Mary's constant brooding and sour disposition that made the pair an audience favorite.

But Mandy Patinkin in Homeland also deserves what should have been his last year.June 16, 2013 at 10:54AM ESTReply to Comment
cmriser (guest)You really should have given Norman Reedus his own slide! Love him so much.June 22, 2013 at 6:22PM ESTReply to Comment
Irith (guest)God this category is hard.
I'd choose:
-Mads Mikkelsen (maybe a longshot but damn if he isn't my #1 pick)
-Walton Goggins (it's an absolute crime he doesn't get more love, and this was maybe his best season yet.)
-Aaron Paul (honestly the most borderline of these picks, but it's ridiculous to assume he won't be nominated)
-Peter Dinklage (wouldn't really pick him, but he'll get the nomination)
-Mandy Patinkin (just pure gold)
-Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (probably won't get it, but he easily topped Dinklage this year, for me, and shows have gotten two noms in this category before)
There's still numerous great candidates on the cusp of this - Vincent Kartheiser immediately comes to mind. It's definitely possible (even probably) that at least half of my choices won't make the cut. Too bad.June 28, 2013 at 6:21PM ESTReply to Comment

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The Maryland General Assembly has approved a measure to ban capital punishment.
The House of Delegates voted 82 to 56 Friday to pass a bill already approved by the Senate.
That sends the bill to Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat who is expected to sign it. Maryland would become the 18th state to abolish the death penalty.

A page walks underneath a board that displays Delegates' votes as she carries bills across the House of Delegates floor before a session in Annapolis, Md., Friday. It's been eight years since Maryland executed a convicted killer, and that could be the last time if the General Assembly, as expected, gives final passage on Friday to a bill to abolish capital punishment. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
Supporters of repeal argue that capital punishment is costly, error-prone, racially biased and a poor deterrent. Opponents say it's a necessary tool to punish those who commit the most egregious crimes.
Maryland has five men on death row, though the measure approved Friday makes it clear the governor can commute their sentences to life in prison. The state's last execution took place in 2005, during the administration of Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich.

Identity is interesting. If you are asked "Who / what are you?" what would you say? I'm a girl, a boy, a fireman, a parent, a friend, a great breakdancer ... is there any one answer? Identity is the many different facets of you, wrapped up into a Play-Doh ball and molded into a person shape.
I'm a lot of things - a girl, a writer, a dog lover, a karaoke aficionado, a Cancer - but one thing I could never say is "I'm Italian / Irish / Spanish / Hungarian / Russo-Finnish" or suchlike. I don't know much about my ethnic heritage. Nothing, really. Our family doesn't go back very far, and we never really got into genealogy or researching that sort of stuff.
Not knowing hasn't really bothered me. I'm a brunette (naturally, but a rainbow by way of hair dye), and look like I could have DNA originated from any number of countries or principalities. Maybe I'm Carpathian? Argentinian? New Zealandese? Eskimo? Who knows? Right now, I'm an American. That's enough for me.
In the Mahoning Valley, we are lucky to be steeped in rich ethnic history. Immigrants with all kinds of different heritages settled in our area, seeking once-plentiful mill jobs, and their descendents have done them a service in carrying on their traditions. From young to old, people in our area take pride in their ethnicity.
When I was a kid, some of my friends would call their grandmothers "Baba," which mystified me until I learned it was a European nickname for "grandmother." Kids around here grow up learning how to tend gardens, can peppers, make wine, play traditional instruments, do dances, speak a few words from their grandparents' homeland. We can be proud that heritage is so important in our Valley and hope that the next generation, and the one after that, keep the traditions alive.
Of course, it's easy to pass on a tradition if it's a delicious one. Recipes for haluski, Sunday gravy, red beans and rice, pierogies and hummus are definitely things worth saving. Luckily, our Valley is also home to many, many cultural festivals, where you can sample recipes from all over the world without having an old Italian or Polish grandma at home.
I used to say that grandmas could fund their retirement by giving cooking lessons and sharing their homespun kitchen tips with those of us who grew up without such wisdom. With all of the festivals in our area, the grandmas get a break.
The summer rotation usually starts with the African-American festival, then various church fests, then the Greek festivals, then Italian fests galore. Peppered in are other local celebrations, including the relatively new Simply Slavic festival. You start craving a hot Italian sausage or a gyro right around the time you don't have to wear a jacket outside anymore. Fair food aside, the real treats are the ethnic specialities, which often come with a story that can't be found in a funnel cake.
Most Mahoning Valley-ites are familiar with the sights and sounds of cultural festivals: The church singers, the clack of bocce balls, rings of men - young and old - playing morra, waving their fingers wildly. Children and teenagers weave through crowds in ornate traditional dress, hurrying to their performances. Polka bands play tunes that never veer into "Chicken Dance" territory. All of the members and volunteers work tirelessly to showcase their heritages and make the fests a success.
I grew up going to all manner of festivals. I had a St. Demetrios Festival T-shirt as a child that has gone from being knee-length to a more reasonable fit as I grew up. I remember being grossed out by smelts. I got stuck with my high-school boyfriend on a ride at St. Pius X fest, and we waited in our seat way above the crowd as it was fixed. Barbecue sauce still stains the dress I wore to the African-American festival (and later that day, to my 10-year high school reunion). I learned the storied history of the cheese puff. I listened time and time again as friends tried to explain morra to me (I just now was able to finally get it after last weekend's Italian-American fest in Youngstown). I learned that Jon Bon Jovi was Slavic. I always look forward to seeing the Carpatho-Rusyn table at the YSU Summer Festival of the Arts and the spectacular beard of the man who sits behind it.
Even though I don't identify with any specific heritage, I enjoy and learn a lot from all of the wonderful histories presented at our local festivals.
The delicious goodies? That's just the bonus. Now excuse me while I get some napkins.
Which summer festival is your favorite? Talk ethnic foods with me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or comment on this story at www.tribtoday.com.

Perceptions and communication of food risk/benefits across Europe
As customers, we receive a lot of information about the food we eat. Every day, we are bombarded with legitimate but sometimes unjust information about the benefits of certain foods and the harmful effects of others. Recent evidence suggests consumers are concerned over their food supply. Understanding current barriers to communicating the risks and benefits of food and identifying potential remedies for such challenges are the objectives of the European Commission-funded project FoodRisC. This project seeks to produce a practical toolkit for policy makers, food authorities and other parties from the various EU member states that enables effective and balanced food risk communication.The objectivesThe FoodRisC project has four major objectives:
The research
Balanced food risk communication remains a challenge across the European Union (EU), with on-going public concern about food supply contaminants, technological advancements, and diet-related diseases (e.g., diabetes and obesity).The FoodRisC project seeks to address these communication challenges by characterising key food risk and benefit relationships, exploring the potential of new social media, and providing a systematic understanding of how consumers deal with food risk and benefit information.The objectives will be met through a range of research approaches and methods that extend the traditional framework of food risk and benefit communication. Traditionally, the food communication framework relays information from an authoritative source through a classical media channel (e.g., television, internet, print) to consumers. The FoodRisC project adapts the traditional communication model to include the active role of recipients of the information, and incorporates the way in which various demographic variables (e.g., gender, socioeconomic status, age) serve as barriers to consumer understanding.The consortiumThe FoodRisC consortium is comprised of experts in key fields relevant to food risk and benefit communication from research institutes, consumer organisations, and SMEs in ten EU Member States. The consortium is supported by an Advisory Board of representatives from eight renowned organisations in health communication (including the European Food Safety Authority, the World Health Organization, and Google) and coordinated by Professor Patrick Wall of University College Dublin's School of Public Health and Population Science.The outcomesFoodRisC seeks a European level impact with the development of the FoodRisC toolkit together with practical guidance to enable the effective communication of coherent messages across EU Member States. The toolkit will integrate information gathered on barriers to consumer understanding with novel approaches to overcoming such barriers.Further information

Core Faculty Labs
Each core faculty member at Broad leads a laboratory consisting of students, postdoctoral fellows, and scientific staff. These labs are similar in their structure and membership to labs at MIT, Harvard and the Harvard-affiliated hospitals; however, rather than being embedded in a department in which every faculty member is from the same discipline, the core faculty labs are physically adjacent to scientists from other disciplines and interests. Moreover, the trainees in core faculty labs are typically engaged in one or more of the Broad programs, and often benefit from and collaborate with the Broad platforms.

Haven't read through...but...my god Fleury.
The guy can look like one of the best goalies in the world and then look like a complete amateur. I don't think there has ever been another goalie who has been at both sides of the spectrum like he has been.
At this point, he'd get shelled in a 55+ beer league by a mediocre team. #1 status = gone!

Liz Owen needed help, and she needed it fast.
She had rescheduled a flight from Washington to Los Angeles on Virgin America to avoid Superstorm Sandy, which was about to slam into the East Coast. But she'd forgotten to order a wheelchair.
Owen, who works for a nonprofit organization in Washington, had recently broken her foot, which was in a cast. "I had been on the phone on hold with Virgin America for well over an hour," she remembers. Halfway to the airport, she decided to send Virgin America a tweet – a message on the microblogging service Twitter.
Within minutes, an airline representative messaged her back, offering to help. When she pulled up to the curb, a Virgin America representative greeted her. "Are you @LizOwenLA?" he asked, referring to her Twitter handle. He offered her a seat in a waiting wheelchair, which he'd borrowed from another airline.
When it comes to customer service, no one likes to wait. And new Internet-based technologies that some travel companies are embracing promise an almost instant response, like the one Owen got. If you carry a smartphone, these tools can lead to a better experience – if you know how to use them.
Not every company offers this shortcut to a quicker resolution, and even those with a sophisticated social media presence don't respond as quickly as Virgin reacted to Owen. In that sense, it's very much like any offline transaction: It matters who you are. But instead of presenting your elite frequent-flier memberships for preferred treatment, you need to show that you understand the rules of social media.
Among air carriers, Southwest Airlines and Virgin America have reputations for lightning-fast response to customer service problems noted online. A recent survey by the social media analytics firm Socialbakers found that as an industry, airlines were the second-fastest to reply to customers on sites such as Facebook, with an average response time of 188 minutes. (Telecommunications companies were faster.) Some carriers, such as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, were significantly faster, replying to customers in less than half an hour.
But simply sending a tweet or posting to a company's Facebook page isn't always enough to get you noticed. "A lot of travel brands want to help," says Twitter spokeswoman Rachael Horwitz. "But you have to look like a real customer."
For starters, you need an account on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter – the three major social media sites – to capture a travel company's attention. But that doesn't guarantee that a company will reply, says Horwitz.
On Twitter, for example, your account comes with a default avatar that looks like an egg. Simply uploading a photo and adding some profile information will set you apart from spammers and ensure that a company knows you're a real person.
That doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get a speedy response. Just as elite-level frequent fliers get preferred treatment, so also do users who have the greatest social clout. Travel companies eye your social media profile, looking for engagement (how active you are online) and the number of your "friends" or "followers." It's possible to instantly measure how important a user is by checking his or her score on Klout, a website that measures people's new-media credibility.
As it turns out, Owen's Twitter profile displayed her photo and suggested that she spent a fair amount of time communicating with other users. Owen also had a previous relationship with Virgin America; two years ago, she'd been a passenger on a transcontinental flight that made an emergency landing in Chicago. In that case as well, Twitter was instrumental in getting her concerns, and those of other customers, addressed.
Virgin America's social media guest relations manager, Tony Amrich, happened to see Owen's plea for help on the day she was flying to Los Angeles. He phoned the airline's ticket counter at Dulles International Airport, ensuring that she had a wheelchair.
As social media have evolved, so have Virgin America's methods of communicating with passengers, Amrich says. Today, the airline is "transitioning" from talking by phone and email to communicating via Twitter and Facebook. That allows the company to resolve a problem faster and often better. "Instead of potentially apologizing for a missed opportunity, I'm right there with the guest, working on solutions – or just saying, 'Love you back,' " he says.

Newly empowered as president of the Bills, Russ Brandon sat on the dais Tuesday and promised to take the franchise in a new direction. As it turned out, the direction was 140 miles due east, to his hometown of Syracuse.
Brandon is sure to take heat for hiring Doug Marrone as his new head coach. Some will dismiss it as a parochial, small-time move. They'll say he reached for a .500 college coach because he couldn't attract the top names in the market and wouldn't surrender total control of the operation.
Some of that might be true. Still, this doesn't feel the way it did when the Bills hired Dick Jauron, Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey. For once, I'm resisting the impulse to trot out my favorite Bills adjective and label it uninspired.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not doing handstands over Marrone, either. He wouldn't have been my first choice. I would have preferred Jon Gruden or Chip Kelly, who is probably heading back to Oregon. But at least they're not making the safe choice, the one least likely to get them buried by the critics later.
Above all, I was hoping they would surprise me this time, that they wouldn't bring out some tired retread and tell me it was progress. They succeeded.
This is a bold pick, a risky pick. Brandon, a fine baseball player in his day, is swinging for the fences here. Give him credit for that. It would have been easier to settle for the stand-up double, a former NFL head coach with an established record for being average.
Yes, Ken Whisenhunt and Lovie Smith are proven head coaches who reached the Super Bowl. They're old ideas to me. Whisenhunt is too conservative. Smith won more than he lost, but his teams were consistently bad on offense. He's not the guy for a team desperate to find and develop a franchise quarterback.
I don't know if Marrone will be a great NFL head man. Most coaches fail when they reach that level, whether they come from college or the assistant coaching ranks. Who knew that Sean Payton would be a success in his first NFL head job, or Mike Tomlin, or Mike McCarthy?
Jim Harbaugh was a risk when he took over the Niners two years ago. Harbaugh had engineered a remarkable turnaround at Stanford. Critics wondered if his methods could work in the pros. He has been a rousing success in the NFL.
So if you're looking to put a positive spin on it, Marrone could be the Bills' Jim Harbaugh. They're roughly the same age. Both are hard-nosed disciplinarians who are open-minded enough to evolve with the times.
Marrone completely changed the culture of a staggering Syracuse program when he took over in 2009. The Orange had gone 10-37 under Greg Robinson and suffered through seven consecutive nonwinning seasons. They were the joke of the Big East, one of the worst major-college programs in the country, a team with inferior personnel and a disaffected fan base.
Sound familiar, Bills fans?
The program quickly returned to respectability. Syracuse won two bowls in his four seasons. His overall record was 25-25. That's not quite earth-shaking, but seasoned observers of the Orange called it a miraculous turnaround. It's not as if he had blue-chip recruits or great facilities.
Brandon is putting his reputation on the line here. It would be easy to dismiss him as a salesman who is out of his depth on football matters. But for an organization that is always trying to keep up in the NFL, this hire represents a fresh idea, a refusal to simply reach for the tried-and-true.
It's not as if Chip Kelly and Nick Saban are the only college coaches worthy of being NFL head men. Marrone was seen as one of the top half dozen or so who might be ready for the jump. He has a lot of the qualities the Bills were looking for, including a dynamic personality and a tireless work ethic.
Marrone once told a Syracuse reporter he had worked every day but one during his first year as coach. He took Christmas off for his family. That's a little scary, I must admit. But he sounds like a coach who will actually know what yard line he's on when it's time to kick a field goal.
Dave Rahme, who covered SU for the Post-Standard, said Marrone had charts and graphs for every eventuality. Rahme described Marrone as "very analytical," a coach who would point out on a film when an opposing offensive lineman moved his foot 2 inches, and what it signified.
That was surely a selling point with Brandon. He intends to create a new department of analytics, which will bring a more sophisticated and scientific approach to the football operation. It's cutting-edge stuff, which hasn't been Ralph Wilson's trademark, to say the least.
That doesn't mean they'll win. In the end, you need players. You need a franchise quarterback. McCarthy, Payton and Tomlin won the Super Bowl in their first NFL head job. It's no coincidence that they had Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger playing quarterback.
The decision on the next quarterback could determine the success of the Bills for the next decade. It's probably more important than the coach. It'll be good to have Marrone helping evaluate the college talent. The less input Nix has on the next quarterback, the better.
Marrone worked with Brees as offensive coordinator with the Saints, though he didn't call the plays. He developed Ryan Nassib from a raw prospect to a star at SU. He knows what a great quarterback looks like, and what sort of transition is required from the college game to the pros.
It's not all about the head coach, either. The Bills need to hire a staff of top assistant coaches. That means going to other NFL teams and plucking some of their rising talent, not grabbing eager college coaches on the cheap. Marrone has an NFL pedigree. He should get the best staff available.
This is on Brandon now. He was fully empowered by the owner to hire the right guy. He came back with Marrone, a daring and unconventional choice. He could be a flop. He could be great. The odds say he'll wind up like most NFL coaches, in that vast, unremarkable area in between.
No one knows right now. But it's usually the people who reach high, refusing to settle for the safe choice, who find their way to great.

My 4-year-old daughter is always telling me she's going to marry her 1-year-old brother. Knowing that she won't actually do it, I just enjoy the sweetness of this time. Because more often than not, it really is sweet.ReplyDelete
My little guy is mildly obsessed with the idea of marrying his little sister (two years younger than him). He is always saying how pretty she is, and that he wants to marry her. And he's already figured out that she's a girl and his friend, so she must be his girlfriend! And she adores him, too. I am hoping the day will never come when they don't want to hug and love one another as siblings because of "eeeeew! gross! but she's my sister/he's my brother!" sort of reasons...ReplyDelete
So pretty.
So sweet.
I am sighing and leaning into my computer screen.

Selena Gomez checked herself into rehab for two weeks in January, PEOPLE has confirmed.
RadarOnline first reported that Gomez, 21, was quietly admitted to Dawn at the Meadows on Jan. 5. Though the Arizona facility's website says it treats young patients for a number of addictions, Gomez's team says the "Come & Get It" singer is not struggling with drugs or alcohol.
"Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse," a rep for Gomez tells PEOPLE.
In December, Gomez shocked fans by cancelling the Australian leg of her Stars Dance concert.
"It has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be," she said in a statement.
At the time, a source close to the Getaway star added that Gomez needed a break from her busy acting and touring schedule.
"She's been working nonstop since she was 15 and she wants to take a minute to herself," the source said.

Shooting down rumors of a romance, Stonestreet took to Twitter true to his comedic roots. "I wish people would stop spreading rumors that Charlize Theron and I are dating," he wrote. "Its starting to make Halle Berry jealous."
He also joked about it on the Emmy red carpet, deadpanning to PEOPLE: "Charlize is a beautiful woman and I just wish she'd stop calling."
Suddenly, he looked around and said, "Oh, who's that looking at me now? Is that Mila Kunis? Hi, Mila."
Stonestreet, who won a trophy in a race featuring costars Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ed O'Neill for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series, has a not-so-steamy (but still special) Emmy date to root him on: his best friend Paul.
"He dared me to audition for the first play I ever did at [Kansas State University]," Stonestreet said.

La Plata-Archuleta Water District and city of Bayfield officials are scheduled to meet Tuesday to review an agreement on expansion of the municipal water-treatment plant.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the Bayfield Town Hall, 1199 Bayfield Parkway.
The water district wants to invest in the city plant instead of building its own to serve future customers in the two counties.
�The district would pay for expansion of the plant to serve all customers,� Steve Harris, the district engineer, said Friday. �The designed capacity of the plant is 1.5 million gallons a day, and we�d expand it to 2.5 mgd.�
Harris estimated the cost at $5 million and said work could begin next spring.
The plant currently treats about 900,000 gallons of water a day, Harris said.
�It�s rare to have two governing bodies in agreement,� Harris said. �But this is a good one that will save money for future city and future district water users.�
A treatment plant adds chemicals, then runs water through a settling tank to eliminate solids. The water next is filtered and disinfected.
Voters in November approved spending up to $25 million to build a network consisting of a water-treatment plant and pipelines to distribute potable water.
Construction has not yet started on the upgrades.
But once the district has a water-treatment and delivery system, it can avail itself of water from Vallecito Reservoir through a contract with the Pine River Irrigation District.
The contract allows the district to buy up to 200 acre-feet of water a year. An acre-foot covers a football field to the depth of 1 foot.
Water-district officials also have explored other sources of water � the Animas-La Plata Project and the Pine River at Bayfield.
The water district was created in 2004 to provide drinking water to a 400-square-mile area in southeastern La Plata County and southwest Archuleta County.
Areas in La Plata County would see the first construction.

Simpson, who wed Eric Johnson on July 5 in a romantic celebration in Montecito, California, enjoyed a brief honeymoon in Mexico.
"They decided to go last-minute," a source tells PEOPLE.
But while she had a relaxing time in the sun, the new Mrs. Johnson clearly missed her children, Maxwell, 2, and Ace, 1, who'd stolen the show at her wedding.
"My kids got standing ovations," the proud mom, 33, told PEOPLE after the wedding.
Posting a photo of her blond-haired cuties on Instagram on Wednesday, she wrote, "There is no way these kids could be more adorable. OMG! So happy to be home snuggling!"

BAYFIELD � Micaela Knickerbocker saw momentum heading up the court.
The Bayfield High School senior stepped in front of the Pagosa Springs pass, stole the basketball � and the momentum � and headed for the BHS basket.
�As soon as I got the steal and made the basket, the momentum in me and everyone started picking up,� Knickerbocker said of fourth-quarter steal and basket that fueled a dramatic yet futile comeback bid against the No. 7 ranked Pagosa Springs girls.
�The crowd started getting loud ... we felt like we could do it,� Knickerbocker said of the Bayfield rally that cut a 14-point lead midway through the fourth quarter to only two points with 33 seconds to play.
Chanel McCloskey contributed a putback basket for the Wolverines.
