"We have a new website. It is olddixiehighwayyardsale.com," said Regina Wheeler, deputy director for the Cartersville-Bartow County Convention & Visitors Bureau. "There's a section on there called current vendors and we're asking that anyone who likes to do so may go on and post their location. It'd be great to give a full address. That just helps a little bit, even a ZIP code because people using GPS on their phones, that would help them get to you.
"And then details of your site can be posted — what you're going to be selling, what items you might have, anything unique, things like that. It's just sort of open-ended so we just ask that people do that. We think that's a good way to reach a lot of people. We also do have a Facebook page that's been in existence for quite some time. So things will post on both. So that's just a good way to get updated and we're happy to roll that site out."
On June 7 to 9, the sale will highlight 12 communities: Ringgold, Tunnel Hill, Rocky Face, Dalton, Resaca, Calhoun, Adairsville, Cassville, Cartersville, Emerson, Acworth and Kennesaw. While times may vary, the sales typically occur from 7 a.m. to dusk.
A precursor to Interstate 75, the Dixie Highway was envisioned by Carl Fisher in 1912 to transport northerners to the South in the winter. After being built between 1915 and 1927, the popular route attracted local vendors who sold items, such as fruit and chenille bedspreads, to travelers from Michigan to Florida.
The yard sale started in 2006 to celebrate the road's revitalization after the Georgia legislature designated the Dixie Highway as a historic driving route. The Georgia Dixie Highway Association promoted the project through the purchase and installation of 126 roadway signs.
"Members of the Kennesaw Kiwanis Club [were] responsible for creating the idea of the sale," Wheeler said. "They brought the idea of the sale to us for a unique way of bringing traffic down the old Dixie Highway at least once a year to introduce the small town unique options — the attractions, the restaurants, things like that — that are available in all of the towns that are along the route.
"A lot of times people roll down [I-75] but don't really get to appreciate some of the great things that are just a mile or two off of the 75 route. So by using the old Dixie Highway, people will really get to experience what makes our part of Georgia so unique and special."
In Bartow County, yard sales will be set up on Old Highway 41 in Adairsville and will run southbound on U.S. Highway 41 through Cassville. Afterward, the route will follow Ga. Highway 293/Cassville Road to downtown Cartersville and then Tennessee Street or Highway 293 south to Emerson.
From clothing to collectables, the yard sale will feature a wide range of items for bargain shoppers. With the sale recently being ranked No. 3 in the Flea Market Style magazine's "Reader's Favorites Miles-Long Yard Sales" list, the Dixie Highway offering is continuing to draw more and more people every year.
"The best indicator of its popularity is its Facebook page," said Ellen Archer, executive director of the local CVB. "We just posted a reminder the other day and immediately had over 2,000 people that saw the post.
"[The response] is just crazy and [people will] come from out of state to do the Dixie Highway Yard Sale. You never can guarantee how many people or what the weather is like but I've said it before, 'It has really kind of just taken on a life of its own.'"
To obtain more information about the yard sale or to secure rental spaces, call the local CVB at 770-387-1357 or visit www.olddixiehighwayyardsale.com or the event's Facebook page, facebook.com/DixieHighway90MileYardSale. Sellers also can obtain official yard sale signs for $5 each at the Clarence Brown Conference Center, 5450 Ga. Highway 20 in Cartersville, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

image © MacroMiracleARL invites participation in the MINES for Libraries survey in 2013–2014. Measuring the Impact of Networked Electronic Services (MINES for Libraries, or MINES) is an online, transaction-based survey that collects data on user demographics and the purpose of use of e-resources. The MINES project utilizes a point-of-use survey technique and integrates usage data about such electronic resources as digital collections, open access journals, pre-print and post-print servers, and institutional repositories to provide an inclusive picture of the library's supported networked e-resources. MINES has been administered at more than 50 North American libraries since 2003, surveying more than 100,000 networked services users.
This webcast, held on September 18, 2012, provides potential and current participants with vital information on the MINES for Libraries® service, an online, transaction-based survey that collects data on the reasons people use electronic resources and on the demographics of users. This one-hour webcast introduces the MINES for Libraries® assessment protocol, shares the benefits and results of participation, and presents useful case studies.
RLI issue 271 includes:
This final report of a ground-breaking study summarizes findings on 34,000 randomly captured uses of electronic resources over a 12-month period from the 21 members of the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL). The results show the increasing value derived from the use of digital content, the emerging use of digital resources in the humanities, and the soaring use of e-resources from off-campus locations.

Jack, Bo Celebrity Chat Helps Fund Research
After presenting Jack Hoffman with a game ball, Bo Pelini relishes the moment.
By Randy York
Tonight in Sarasota, Fla., a head football coach and a pediatric brain cancer patient who considers that coach a close friend, will be center stage in front of nearly 900 people paying $1,000 a plate at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Bo Pelini, Nebraska's 7th-year head football coach, and Jack Hoffman, his 8-year-old sidekick who battles brain cancer every day, have agreed to be interviewed as part of the featured entertainment at the ninth annual Dick Vitale Gala. The celebrity conversation will be a gripping commentary that will remind every patron in the room how Jack's record 69-yard touchdown run in Nebraska's 2013 spring game helped elevate awareness for the disease and inspire fundraising to support research that will help fight the disease.
"Awesome with a capital A!" "@TeamJack: Jack & @DickieV at @TheVFoundation Gala raising $$$ 4 child cancer research pic.twitter.com/QUe1l0FRIh"— Nebraska Huskers (@Huskers)May 16, 2014
Pelini has been a national leader in the fight against pediatric brain cancer over the past several years. He has devoted numerous hours of his personal time, working hand-in-hand with the Hoffman family and others. Pelini also has nurtured an environment in his football program that was instrumental in Nebraska launching its own chapter of Uplifting Athletes that targets pediatric brain cancer research. Husker wide receiver Sam Burtch, NU's president of Uplifting Athletes, is hopeful that his teammates can register 1,000 runners for the Nebraska Football Uplifting Athletes Road Race in partnership with the Lincoln Track Club on July 20. The event, which drew 700 runners and raised $15,000 for pediatric brain cancer research in 2013, includes a fun run and a 5K competitive race.
Uplifting Athletes Champions winner Rex Burkhead and Jack visit White House.
Rich Fisher, Burtch's position coach, was in Florida recruiting this week and will attend tonight's Dick Vitale Gala, along with Pelini, Jack, and his dad, Andy Hoffman. Jimbo Fisher, head coach for defending national football champion Florida State, is among the guests that include Alabama's Nick Saban and two Big Ten Conference basketball coaches – Michigan State's Tom Izzo and Indiana's Tom Crean. Vitale expects tonight's gala to raise $2 million to support pediatric brain cancer research, increasing the event's overall contributions to more than $12 million. This year's event sold out and forced gala organizers to decline celebrities who wanted to buy tickets.
The @Huskers photo @TheVFoundation Gala with @rfisher88 & @BoPelini pic.twitter.com/4pN3VFYiiN— Team Jack (@TeamJack) May 16, 2014
Andy Hoffman salutes Pelini for his role in fighting pediatric brain cancer. "When Coach Bo and his wife Mary Pat agreed to serve as honorary co-chairs for our first Team Jack Gala two months ago (in Lincoln), it meant so much to our family," Andy said. "Coach Bo represents everything that's good in college football. He has a deep commitment to serve others and does an amazing job of using his platform to impact society in a big and very positive way. Our family is so thankful to be a recipient of his graciousness."Send a comment to email@example.com (Include city, state)

June 21, 2011
DEARBORN / June 21, 2011---In less than two weeks, the University of Michigan-Dearborn will become a smoke-free campus.
In anticipation of the campus going smoke-free, the University recently released a newly posted Standard Practice Guide, 601.4 that states the intent of the smoking ban taking effect on July 1 and details the restrictions.

BMC Racing Team's Adam Blythe sprinted for the 7th place of the Stage 5 of Eneco Tour that was concluded in a bunch sprint.
Great Team Work
It was a quiet stage overall for the BMC Racing Team, with the biggest difficulty of the 184.6-kilometers race during the last circuit of 21 km in Aalter ending with narrow roads in city centre. « In the last kilometres, Quinziato and Burghardt did a great job, to place Phinney and Blythe in front, we saw a strong team work. » said Assistant Sport Director Fabio Baldato. After the 3-men breakaway was caught back, the stage was concluded in massive sprint won by Giacomo Nizzolo (RadioShack-Nissan) and Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-Quickstep) kept his leader's jersey. Best placed for the BMC Racing Team, Adam Blythe crossed the line in 7th position "Taylor stayed in front to lead out Blythe and it work perfectly until the last 700 meters, maybe Adam hesitated too much in the last corner while he could have gone faster with a favourable wind", explained Baldato. "Anyway it's really not easy here to play the stage victory with all the big sprinter teams."
Individual Time Trial Ahead
Friday's stage 6 with a 17.4km individual time trial in Ardooie is already in the mind "We tried to play it safe before the last two stages coming Taylor is in strong condition and very motivated by the time trial, and we know we have cards to play there," said Baldato.

Distillation, as a process, has been known since at least the first century AD. Yet a readily reproducible process of distillation did not really take off until the 13th century or so. Why the gap of 1000 years?
The answer is almost banal. Yes, a handful of people knew how to distill. The problem was with the technology. Glass broke easily, and ceramic implements were little better, as they transferred heat ineffectively, and inconsistently, depending upon the mineral content of the ceramics. In short, no one knew how to make good distilling vessels.
It was the Venetians, who combined different glass-making techniques (Roman and Syrian), that were able to consistently produce high-quality glassware. However, this didn't occur until the mid 1200's in history's timeline. Once this glass took off, distilling on a regular basis took off soon afterwards.
Here's an interesting side-note: You can still see remnants of Venice's glass industry in work if you visit the city. Murano island has all sorts of places that both sell and pay homage to the industry that helped solidified Venice's empire.
In the grand scheme of things, all that happened is that a friend and I had a meal of fruit, cheese, and crackers by a river on an overcast Tuesday afternoon. Painted by these words, the moment seems a bit mundane, even hackneyed.
Let's take a moment to dress it up a bit. The river was the Rhine, and the location was found in a stretch of road certified by UNESCO as being a World Heritage site. The scenery was beautiful with castles overlooking the river from high atop of hills that seemingly run straight down into the river's valley. Barges laden with products from north and south lazily found their way around the many twists and turns. Senior Citizens traveled with purpose either upon bicycles or within RV's. Green was everywhere. The hills were peppered with grape vines and deciduous trees just on the verge of changing their colors for the annual autumn explosion. No one seemed in a hurry, including Andrea and myself, who, on a whim, ventured into a small grocery store to pick up a lunch.
Here's where I had an epiphany. The food purchased was nothing more than a bit of apple, some cheap crackers, and some cheese that can best be described as "workman-like". It was good, but not great.
It didn't matter one bit. I was sitting on the shores of the Rhine, watching the world go by, and sharing the moment with a friend. It was as perfect of a moment as one can get on this planet, and the size of the grins on our faces was all the evidence I needed to prove this fact.
We who are passionate about food sometimes forget that there is more to life than what we are eating. There are times when what's on one's plate does not matter one iota. The law of diminishing returns kicks in, and if everything else is near perfect, the quality of the food does not need to be considered. Sometimes, in the quest to get the best out of life, we forget that some moments do not need micro managed. Fussing over food in moments like these are a horrible waste of energy.
Simply put, sometimes the best way to enjoy a moment is to let it be exactly the way it appears.
(Originally published on Accidental Hedonist on October 7th, 2009)
A foundation of knowledge must be set before I can write/talk about the history of liquor. This is how I operate. In order for me (or anyone else) to talk/speak about, oh I don't know, let's say…vodka, a fundamental understanding of fermentation, distillation, and the history of similar such topics is a necessity. This is a subjective opinion, but it has worked well for me in the past, as I feel more confidence in experts when they can not only speak well of a topic, but also to items that directly (and in many cases, indirectly) influenced said topic. Consider this post my initial effort at establishing a solid foundation.
Fermentation sits firmly at the core of any alcoholic beverage. Without it, our planet would be a far more boring place. There would not only be no alcohol, but no leavened bread, no yogurt, no kimchi, nor even a bottle of Tabasco. But what is fermentation?
Simply put, fermentation is the conversion of a carbohydrate, typically sugar, into an acid or an alcohol. There two types of fermentation that are usually studied. There is Lactic Acid Fermentation, which converts sugar into lactic acid. Then there is the type which brings us our happy goodness, namely ethanol fermentation, or alcoholic fermentation. This type of fermentation is the biological process in which glucose is converted into cellular energy and result in ethanol and carbon dioxide. It looks like the following from a chemical formula perspective:
We start with a mole of glucose (C6H12O6) and add zymase, an enzyme complex found in yeasts. This enzyme is a catalyst that takes the six carbon molecules, twelve hydrogen molecules, and six Oxygen molecules within the glucose , and creates a chemical reaction that results in two moles of Carbon Dioxide (with combined total of two carbon molecules and four oxygen molecules) and two moles of Ethanol (with its combined total of four carbons, twelve hydrogen molecules and two oxygen molecules).
Those two moles of ethanol are what makes life more enjoyable, and their creation are as rudimentary of a biochemical reaction as we can see on a day-to-day basis. We don't even need a laboratory environment to see it happen. Many grapes contain all there needs to start fermentation, as their fruits have the requisite sugar, as well as ambient yeasts on the grapes themselves. If you find the correct kind of grape, all you need to is wait.
From this process, we get dozens, if not hundreds of drinks that have resulted in several multi-billion dollar industries. All of them combined affected our culture for almost 10,000 years.
This is where we start.
When rebooting this site, I intentionally removed posts from Accidental Hedonist's previous incarnation. It seems counter intuitive, doesn't it? After all, it removed all relevant traffic from Google for posts that were (up to) ten years old. Why break that connection? Why lose that access to things previously written?
I did it for a couple of reasons. For one, the archives were a mess. When I migrated to WordPress back in 2012, it played havoc with my 3000+ posts including the tags and categories attached to the posts, and I had neither the time nor inclination to clean it up.
Secondly, they were collectively disjointed. Having 3000+ posts meant there was no cohesiveness to them. Sure, at first glance (and first approach), Accidental Hedonist was a food blog, but at some point it moved beyond that, as my interests and approach to blogging changed. This only increased my perception of the archives as being a chaotic mess.
Finally, and most importantly, I felt beholden to them in a way that was illogical. The fact was, I felt proud that I was part of the initial introduction of food blogs upon the internet, and the small role I played in publicizing the and advocating the medium. But at some point, I moved beyond food blogs. Or rather, I moved in a different direction from what food blogging had become. Food blogs, as they became known, rarely talked food politics, rarely discussed food history, and became less and less inspiring to me. As food blogs became its own genre, I found myself less and less motivated by the characteristics that defined food blogging.
If you talk to parents for any extended times, they will eventually tell you an anecdote relating how they spent hundreds of dollars on a gift for one of their children, only to have themselves exasperated when the child shows more interest in the box and wrapping paper that the gift came in. I am that child. While the gift is all well and good, I am more fascinated by, not just the box, but the history of the box, the influences that the discovery of boxes had upon a culture, and who garnered social benefits from said box discovery. How this manifested itself upon my blog is that, while at one point it would have been enough for me to write about going to a restaurant, or tasting the latest food-craze-du-jour, at some point, I became interested in something else.
The archives, however, reminded me of my interests of 2004. And every time I sat in front of my monitor, I felt the necessity to connect my writing to the archives in some manner. And as I evolved AH into its last incarnation back in 2012, it showed little connection in ways of themes and approach that defined AH's previous incarnations. This certainly relates to my second point above, but it's more than that. The archives became to represent the divergence from myself and food blogs. Having the blog hold that divergence became similar to a small gnat by my ear drum, namely, an annoyance that only I could hear. Regardless of the size of the annoyance, it still needed to be addressed.
I collected the posts I liked, and set free the rest. I will post the ones I saved from time to time, but the others are gone to the great bit bucket in the sky. In essence, I gave myself a clean slate. I have no idea what I will draw upon this new easel, but it will be for me, first and foremost.
I will say this. Expect liquor, art, and soccer. Especially liquor.
"I like art," is possibly the least controversial statement that one can make. The difficulty comes in how this appreciation manifests itself in one's life.
I am a museum person. Somewhere in between the statement "I like art" and "I purposefully seek out art at museums" lies a line that some people will not cross. And while an argument can be made that art isn't (or shouldn't be) made for museums, I am not so ideologically rigid that I believe that museum visits should be rejected out of hand. In fact, I recognize and even appreciate the fact that, in order to see some of the masterpieces that are available for public consumption, a museum is the only place one can go. This position can be a little daunting for my travel companions, some of whom see museum trips as on par with viewings at funeral homes.
Add to this the fact that, in this digital world, while in the midst of the silicon revolution, mediums such as paintings and sculptures can seem both quaint and anachronistic. These are the mediums of a bygone era, dinosaurs in an era where even film is now seen as "old-fashioned".
So why do I go? Why do I consume and consider these mediums? It's not because they are important (even though they are), or because I feel obliged to in order to feel as if I'm a well-rounded person. I do so because these works provide insight into both the artists, as well as the cultures in which they were produced. As I get older and gather a deeper appreciation of history (which I'll explain in a different post), that insight that art supplies can be critical to understanding a "bigger picture". That insight is another data point in understanding what it was like to be alive in Venice in 1500, Amsterdam in 1650, or Paris in 1875.
Additionally, when I view several works of art, patterns emerge which sometimes speaks to some historical meta-narrative. For example, the Impressionist movement is, in part, the result in a change of technology. Paint became more transportable, once the craft of making paints became more industrialized. Once paint became easier to carry, artists left their studios to develop their works outdoors. Figuring this, and other similar bits of information, has allowed me to understand various movements better.
This "understanding," as nebulous as it may be at times, is addictive to me. It's akin to solving a puzzle. It's what keeps me opening new books, as well as going to museums.
It doesn't always work this way, as sometimes what the artwork conveys is complex and not always apparent. There are also times when the insight speaks more to who I am than to what the artist's intent was. But this is a feature and not a bug. In fact, artwork that teaches me something about myself is far more important to me than one that speaks to its era.
Why do I like art? Because it teaches. The ability to learn what it teaches, and acknowledging the challenge in that process is something I've come to appreciate in my life.
Yes, I started out interested in food and ended up passionate about history.
Note: From time to time, I'm going to repost items from the archives of Accidental Hedonist. Some of these items will be of note only to myself. Others may/should provide context for ideas I'm playing with on the site.
Initially posted: December 7, 2009
At the suggestion of my publisher, my initial idea of a book about chocolate has evolved into a broader subject which may or may not evolve into a book of some sort. So for the past week or so, I've been immersing myself into the history and anthropology of sweets in order to write a passable book proposal.
During the course of the readings, there has been one belief of mine that has been pretty much dismissed or diminished by anthropologists. Foods that we deem as "sweet" have, for the most part, been less of an influence on nutrition and less of an influence on food culture than we in the modern age may believe.
In reading Sidney W. Mintz's book Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern History, he states that, for the most part , civilizations "have been built on the cultivation of a particular complex carbohydrate, such as maize or potatoes or rice or millet or wheat." The rest of a culture's food choices have evolved in such a way to make these foundation foods both interesting and varied. Think of the many ways that rice dishes are presented in East Asia, or corn dishes are offered in Mexico, and you'll have a rough idea on what Mintz is trying to say.
Fruits, at least those domesticated to a point where they could be grown on a regular basis, weren't as prevalent as some of us would like to believe. Apples have been around since about 8,000 BCE and dates in 6,000 BCE, but the age of domesticated fruits truly doesn't occur until 4000 BCE with citrus, watermelons, and grapes becoming a farmed crop. That's 6,000 years into the civilized era. By this time, Homo sapiens have already mastered the way of farming the carbohydrates they need to survive.
Because of this "complex carbohydrates first!" trait found in many cultures, simple carbohydrates take on a unique, and at times, even relegated position in food history. Honey, which popped onto the scene at around 5,000 BCE became an exalted product. Many religions incorporated it into their rituals and undertakings, making it one of the first food stuffs to reach (literally) cult status.
Sucrose (or granulated sugar, as we know it) is a recent food product, not hitting the Western World until about 700 AD (give or take) when Muslim expansion brought the sugar cane into the Southern European growing regions. Its influence was so profound upon the Europeans that finding adequate places for sugar crops and plantations was one of the driving forces of colonization into the New World, second only behind the quest for metal commodities.
While the importance of these sweeteners in food history is absolute, there's still something about them that separates them from other foods. They are less important than salt, at least from a bio-chemical point of view. But their influence seems greater than other spices in the world.
To me, this is what makes processed sugars so profound. They are venerated, yet we can survive without them. They were one of the world's pre-eminent luxury items, but now even a child can by a piece of candy for mere pennies. When I see a piece of candy, it's interesting for me to see what part of history had to occur in order for this candy to exist. What's even more interesting is that I can now dismiss that piece of candy without consumption, an idea that would have seemed wasteful two hundred years ago.
Did you ever have a moment when the world seemed to be telling you something?
Truth be told, I don't want to believe in coincidences, or fate, or that separate, isolated incidents could be somehow related. If there's any semblance of truth to Occam's Razor, it's more likely that I am seeing a pattern, than it is that the universe is creating one for my benefit. It's important that this perspective is noted, even if only to remind myself that the universe isn't here to tell me what to do.
Here are the facts:
Whether my state of mind is the result of items one and two, I cannot say for certain. However, certain recent events in relation to Item 2 have made it understood that the energy I have spent may have been misdirected.
In other words, I started to care too much for my job. There's a philosophical question in here somewhere, along the lines of "How much should one care about their job?", but that's not why I'm writing today. I'm writing, because of some deep understanding within myself that I've missed many aspects of writing, both via blogging and via books. There are some aspects that I don't miss, but, as a whole, I am more fulfilled when I am writing than when I am not.
I hesitate to declare anything more than that, because life is too complex to make promises (such as "I'm going to write more often") that are at risk of not being met. But I am making motions that are noteworthy. For instance, I've updated the blog engine. I've also cleaned up a little, having removed the archives of my past writings, with the intent of not feeling beholden to any format and/or topics of the past. I'm calling this my do-over, as blogging has changed immensely in the past ten years.
Finally, I've posted this entry. I'm still unsure about many things surrounding this action. For example, how often should I post? Does it matter? And more curious for me, for whom do I write this? For the longest time, I had a sizable audience, and felt pressured/required to write to that audience. In the end, that didn't work for me, as it made it feel like a job. A job, mind you, that didn't pay nearly as well as the one I participate in from eight A.M. to four P.M., Monday through Friday.
I'm working on the answers to these questions on a case-by-case basis.
There are things that haven't changed. I'm still immensely curious about a whole lot of different things. And I still have a predilection for having a good time. "Hedonist", accidental or otherwise, is still a good word for who I am. Another question, for me, is how much of my own "good time" should be communicated?
Again, I have no answers.
What I do know is that I am expending less energy at my day-job, energy that needs to go somewhere. It's a good bet that creativity is where that energy is going to go. And for me, creativity almost always has meant writing.
All of this is my long way of saying "Yeah, I haven't posted in a long time, because I've been distracted. I'm less distracted now, which might mean more attention to my writing. But maybe not. At any rate, hello! Again!"

M/S Word VersionIMPORTANT WAIVER INFORMATION
This purpose of this letter is to inform districts and open-enrollment charter schools that, on or around August 1, 2012, the Texas Education Agency (TEA or agency) will implement a new automated waiver application that will replace the current paper-based process. Effective with the 2012-2013 school year, districts and charter schools will be required to submit all waiver and class size exception requests through the automated system.
To access the automated waiver application, districts must establish TEA Login (TEAL) user accounts. TEAL is the new secure environment that eventually will replace the current TEA Secure Environment (TEASE) security system. An overview of the new TEAL system and end user training is available online at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/webappaccess/Overview.htm. While the automated waiver application has not yet gone into production, district users should prepare for implementation by ensuring that they have established a TEAL account.
Within the TEAL environment, districts will be able to manage any TEA applications for which they have access, including the Waivers application. If a district superintendent has not already established access to the TEAL system, the following steps must be taken.
Superintendents should request a new TEAL user account as soon as possible. Additionally, other individuals within a district who plan to access and use the Waivers application also should request a new user account following steps similar to those identified above.
On or around August 1, 2012, district users will be able to request access to the new Waivers application. To request access to this new application in TEAL, users should:
IMPORTANT NOTE: At this time, do NOT link any of your other existing TEASE application accounts to your new TEAL account. The TEA will advise TEAL users when this is appropriate.
The Waivers application will allow districts to submit a request to the agency only when all required fields have been completed and all edit checks passed. Districts that submit waiver and exception requests through the automated Waivers application will have the opportunity to print a copy of the submission to be retained at the local level. However, all agency communication regarding the waiver review and approval process will take place through the automated system. No paper waiver or class size exception applications will be accepted by the TEA after August 1, 2012.
The TEA will continue to make waiver and exception data available to the public through the TEA website. Additional information regarding use of the Waivers application and access to related data will be made available to districts in future agency correspondence.
If you have questions or need additional assistance in setting up a TEAL account, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. If you have questions regarding the waiver and exception application process for 2012-2013, please contact the State Waivers Unit at (512) 463-9630 or email@example.com.

Wednesday, March 5, 2014
By: Leandra Woody
We were just like any normal family, we laughed, we loved and we lived. Then stroke hit. It was on December 27th, 2012, what a not-so-perfect way to end my Christmas holiday from school.
My father went to work that day and I went to school. He came home from work and ate some chicken noodle soup and sat down to watch a Duke football game, oh how he loved Duke. Anyways, around 9pm my mom and I noticed his speech slurring, we didn't think anything about it and went to bed while my father stayed up to finish watching his football game. I awoke around 11pm to the sound of my mom screaming, the stroke was attacking him. My uncle came over and we called the ambulance. I seemed to be the only one who knew what was going on. After what felt like forever, the ambulance arrived at my house and took my dad's vitals. Every number they could possibly check was good, this seemed suspicious. When we got to the hospital the doctors confirmed our fears, stroke it was. The neuro-surgeons rushed him to surgery because they told us that they could get the blood clot out, an hour later the doctors donned us with even more bad news, and the blood clot was too large to operate on.
Fast-forward a year and some change, this is where we are now. Everyone stressed out, my father fighting to regain strength and control of his left side. But no matter what happens, even two months of staying in the hospital, couldn't keep us from laughing, loving and still living.

Reversible Decor: 10 Quirky Removable Wallpaper Patterns
Renters' Solutions
When you're living in a rental and shopping around for temporary decor, why not have a bit of fun with it? Temporary wallpaper is designed precisely so you don't have to live with it forever, so you can let your imagination run loose and embrace a bit of quirk.
1. The Hunt wallpaper by Ceanirminger, available from Spoonflower: A deco depiction of the story of Artemis and Actaeon.
2. The Zoo, available from Surface View: This 19th-century image from the Warner Textile Archive features jauntily posed animals in a neutral palette.
3. Push Pops temporary wallpaper from WallCandy, available at 2 Modern: If eating a push pop brings back great childhood memories, then perhaps looking at them each day will do the same.
4. Kathy Ireland Grand Estates EasyChange wallpaper, available from Sherwin Williams: At first glance, this traditional pattern doesn't look quirky at all, but upon closer inspection, you're treated to a menagerie of new friends.
5. Michael Uhlenkott Damask 3a wallpaper tiles, available from Design Your Wall: Bring a taste of the Middles Ages home with some striking eagles, crowns, and castle turrets.
6. Vintage Faces Wallpaper, available from Design Your Wall: Get your fix of sassy ladies, spectacular headgear, and ruby red lips.
7. London Bus Temporary Wallpaper by WallCandy, available from 2Modern: These double-decker buses are iconic for a reason.
8. Lobster Marine Wallpaper by Holli Zollinger, available from Spoonflower: Express your love of the nautical with this simple, graphic pattern.
9. Boughton by Eddie Squires, available from Surface View: Modeled on a silk textile from the Warner Textile Archive, this pattern features color annotations, black and white patches amidst a sea of vibrant color, and small, hairy creatures, all of which add to the visual interest of a piece that, from afar, seems somewhat traditional.
10. The Swan Boats by Heidi Kenney, available from Spoonflower: Who hasn't fantasized about riding around in a swan-shaped boat? Enough said.

Always so tempted to put up wallpaper, but too scared to try.
How removable is "removable"? If it's going to take off drywall or require repair after removable, that would be a problem for renters and homeowners alike.
I'm scared of removable wallpaper for the reason PI mentioned. I have used 'removable' wall decals and some of them lefts a huge mess on the wall, thankfully the decals were not that huge. I can't imagine running into that issue with a large section.
Would this work in a bathroom or a kitchen? Maybe a panel could be framed as art so as not to pull off drywall during removal.This type of product might jazz up closet panel doors or recessed cabinets perhaps.I must admit that I am among those who are kind of afraid of hanging wallpaper.
Thanks for introducing me to Spoonflower! You can upload images and make your own custom fabric! It's like that one episode of Project Runway come to life. I just realized I sound like I secretly work for Spoonflower. I'll expect my check in the mail guys.
Fun post, thanks! I had COMPLETELY forgotten about those popsicles-in-a-tube!!!
I use liquid starch and fabric!
liquid starch and fabric work easily and effectively, and they are so easy to remove!
wait, Spoonflower's wallpaper is removable?! That's probably dangerous :) I need to remove some nasty old wallpaper in my stairwell, and the idea of changing it up with fresh graphic designs every few years is pretty appealling.

It's also about making something comfortable to wear that looks great and fits a mobile lifestyle. That's why Monster teamed with Italian fashion design company Diesel to produce the stylish VEKTR headphones. The unique multi-planar, fold-up design makes these on-ear 'phones as sleek as they are listenable, delivering the powerful bass response Monster is known for. Powerful bass response with noise isolation The Diesel VEKTR uses Monster's titanium-coated driver technology to deliver deep bass that is not overly aggressive, giving your music a low-end boost without obliterating the upper frequencies. The VEKTR's plush earpads provide a cushioned fit that works with the sturdy headband to create a tight seal on your ears. External noise is effectively silenced making sure every chest-rattling beat stays sealed in.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?) Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Ralph Graves Staff Writer - Creative, Innovative design Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 8/17/2012 1:45:00 PM Right out the box I knew the Diesel VEKTRs were different. The polygonal design of the VECKTRs is different. And it extends to the earcups, which have an angular design rather than a circular one. When put them on, I recieved a surprise. Everything in the Labs got quieter. Much quieter. I'm not sure how Monster did it, but the headphones blocked out a lot of ambient sounds without even plugging them in. I auditioned some music in the Labs, and was pleased with the overall sound. The VEKTRs deliver a good amount of detail. Although they did well with all the genres I tried, the VEKTRs seemed to sound best with electronica, rock, and rap. The bass was solid, and the mids and highs sounded tight.

It has been windy, rainy, and chilly in Portland this past week. I don't mind it though, I love cloudy days. But, waking up in the morning becomes very difficult when the wind is howling and rain is beating angrily against my windows. I would much prefer to keep cozy under the covers and sleep a few extra hours than go to work and do meaningless nonsense. Hmpf. By the end of the day I am a sluggish blob scooting around my office in my wheel-adorned chair. So, as you can imagine, dinner is pretty essential for me. Below are a couple of yummy meals that filled me up and re-energized me too.
It's a sammie! The components: sprouted whole grain bread, a leftover black bean griller patty, basil-chestnut-cashew pesto, agave-dijon spread, and lots of fresh spinach. This was so incredibly delicious and quick to prepare. The pesto was the result of using up some ground nuts I had in the freezer and some organic basil from Trader Joe's. I am really anticipating local basil at the farmers' market, but until then, TJ's will suffice (I suppose…). I ate this sammie with applesauce (sprinkled with cinnamon and currants, because sometimes I feel like kiddie snacks). Oh, and I snarfed down a few cookies too (the Chewy Chocolate Raspberry cookies from Veganomicon). And then, I settled down to watch The Office only to discover it wasn't on! So here I sit, committed to keeping up my blog.
Grilled Veggies over Bulgur with Tahini-Miso Sauce: Lip-smacking tasty goodness all in one bowl. The recipe for the sauce comes from the oh-so-talented Ricki of Diet, Dessert and Dogs. She is the queen of sauces (and many other amazing recipes, go visit her newly updated website!!!). I have acquired quite an addiction to this particular sauce; it makes a lovely salad dressing too. The bowl above had grilled onions, broccoli, and red bell peppers as the veggies. I might be making this a weekly staple, who knows?
And finally, not a meal, but a sweet lil' friend who lives with Tim and I. Her name is Talulah and she keeps our many (many) plants company. My good friend Tait (thanks so much Tait!!) gave her to us a present and we love her very much.
Cute as heck, right? She has a suction cup on her abdomen and when you put her on a flat surface, she will sproing all over the place. She's pretty fun. I think she is supposed to be a spider (yipes!) but she only has four legs… Say "Hello Talulah"!
That's it for now.
