Thanksgiving Tip: Send Them Home With Leftovers
The big feast is just a few days away, and while all of your thoughts are on shopping and prepping, be sure you don't overlook the leftovers. If you're like most Americans, your fridge is going to be crammed with leftovers the day after. To avoid this, why not send some of them home with your friends and family? If you can, head over to your local craft store and pick up some fun Take-Out Boxes. If you don't have access to a craft store, then pick up some cheap plastic containers such as Gladware or Ziploc. This way, when your guests are ready to hit the road, you can send them home with some of the food, and not have to worry about whether or not you'll see that bowl again.
If all else fails and there are no containers to be had, use Ziptop plastic bags. It's not very glamorous, but it will definitely make transportation a lot easier.
Alternatively, if you're a guest at someone else's dinner, consider bringing your own containers. It does sound a bit presumptuous, but if your hosts are not prepared, it will make things much easier. Plus you'll be able to avoid the, "Oops! We still have so-and-so's plates."
Do you have any other ideas on how to send folks home with leftovers? Share your tips below!

Getting Down to Businesscomments (2) October 26th, 2008
A couple days after our informal brainstorming session around Jamison's kitchen table, she, Anna, and I scheduled our first official business meeting as partners at a local wine bar. Sipping Pinot Grigio, we discussed merchandise, store names, and possible locations. Already familiar with other stationery stores in the area, Anna brought with her a simplified analysis of our competition, a "who sold what where" spreadsheet, and we discussed what our store would offer in comparison.
We also talked about what each person's role in the partnership would be. Because I had quit my job to open this store and because I had been nurturing the idea for so long that it had become like a child to me, the girls decided that I should be the majority partner. Also, neither of them planned to quit their full-time jobs, so I would be putting in the most day-to-day work. It sounded fair that I would own 50% of the business and they would each own 25%. What we didn't know was how that would break down into hours worked or compensation. If they each owned 25% of a company, did it literally mean that they would contribute 25% of the start-up costs, put in 25% of labor each week, and receive 25% of the profits (when we finally started making a profit)?
First and foremost, we determined that we needed to meet with a banker. We had no idea how much money we were even talking about here. Obviously we would need a loan, but for how much? Where would that money come from? Anna said she would look into setting up a meeting for us with a small-business banker, and I said I'd contact various stationery companies too see how much it would cost to order inventory. (Little did I know that most companies wouldn't even talk to me about wholesale orders without an Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number…)
While we were quick out of the gate, things slowed down for the three of us over the next couple of weeks. J.B. was sent out on his first deployment, and I went back to New Jersey to spend a couple of days with my family. When I returned to Omaha, I had my grandmother with me, so I was spending my time entertaining her rather than working on the store. When she left, nearly a week later, I was so lonely for my husband that I was hardly able to get out bed. With my primary support system gone, I questioned my ability to pull a store out of thin air.
Meanwhile, Jamison had left Omaha and gone back East to get married! With her out of the state and me in a funk, our stationery store was put on the back burner…until Anna scheduled a meeting for us with the bank. By this point, it had been about a month after we met over wine and was time to get the ball rolling again. So I put on a professional-looking outfit, created a binder of all my Internet research, and met the girls at the bank for our big meeting.

Hello! I am a new member and after looking over this site I was hoping someone would be able to answer a few questions concerning wedding cakes. I made a 4-teir round fondant covered wedding cake for my sister a year ago, and now my youngest sister is getting married and has asked me to make hers. They want a 5-teir square wedding cake covered with fondant. I have heard that square cakes are more difficult to cover in fondant than round ones, so I am wondering if you have any tips or pointers? Also, do you have any advice for filling and assembling the cake? Such as, the kind of dowel rods or separators work best? How about decorating with fresh flowers for the topper? Do I need to arrange the flowers first in some kind of florist foam, or can they be pressed into the fondant? Anything that you would like to share that you think might be helpful would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We are proud to present a showcase of Alabama Blues Women a diverse group of performers that includes Sweet Claudette , Shar-Baby, B.J. Miller , Carroline Shines , Debbie Bond and Rachel Edwards . Each of these ladies delivers their own brand of the blues and have been delighting audiences across the nation - and beyond. A little bit of funk, a little bit of jazz and a whole lot of soul . . . but all blues!
While there has been a lot of national and international interest in the blues from areas such as Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, the rich heritage of Alabama blues has received little attention. The blues is Americas pure and original musical art form created by African Americans, across the Southeast at the end of the 19th Century. The first recorded blues artists were women and in 1920 Mamie Smith had a hit with Crazy Blues, the first commercially successful blues recording. It sold over three million copies and launched the era of the classic blues women during the Roaring Twenties. Less well known is that this recording was due to the efforts of two Alabamian music entrepreneurs - W.C Handy and Perry Bradford.
Thanks to past outstanding blues women like Lucille Bogan, later greats such as Big Mama Thornton and most recently the incomparable Odetta, Alabama blues women have left a rich legacy. This showcase is living testimony that Alabama blues is alive and well and still a force to be reckoned with!

I rarely just post a video into my blog and provide no commentary, but this is a pretty amazing Ted Talk. It is seven minutes and is extremely valuable to all of those in the teaching profession.
21 Comments
This is a "keeper" and one we need to share in whatever way we can. Kids do need a champion and relationships that support their self-worth! Thanks.
I wrote today in my blog that these days I read everything you post. So….thanks for sharing this link.
I immediately watched the TED video you linked to and was also inspired to blog about it. Couldn't not write anything though. Here is my reflection.
I love Rita's message at the end of the video….the message that positive relationships with students are key. She states that teaching and learning should bring joy and encourage our students to take risks with their learning. Thirty years in this profession and I can still say that teaching and learning brings joy. As I now work with principals and teachers to take risks in their learning and to bring joy to their teaching, I agree with Rita. The job isn't always easy. In fact it is really hard work. However, it is NOT impossible. We CAN do it and as Barrack Obama says, "Yes we can!" We are born to make a difference.
George I already sent this out on my Twitter feed. You are correct it is a very important message. Thanks for sharing with a wider audience.
This is a message I have been preaching for years! Rita says it best and it should be echoed to every person who are around children on a daily basis. We should always look to inspire children, including the "tough" ones, because we never know what type of impact we will have on them… But more importantly, we never know what type of impact they will have on us.
I have no argue with ur post..but i think not just kids wont learn from.the peoples hey dont like but adults is the same
The first law when we want teach our kids or peoples is how to make they love our profile
[…] on Facebook, posted by a former student who is now in university… shortly after that George Couros also posted the very same Ted Talk, "Every Kid Needs a […]
I'd think this talk is even more important to those in the edTech sector whose products and agenda have the potential to radically alter the shape of teacher-student relationships.
Her message is so simple but so powerful. When I applied for my first job one of the questions was whether I wanted to be liked or respected. I answered I wanted to be liked because its easier to respect someone you like. I still believe it to be true in the classroom and in life.
Relationships are a pretty underrated aspect to being a quality teacher. This isn't to say that you need to be your students' friend or anything silly, but changing the lens with which you view your students can significantly alter they way you can educate them. I'd also say that people undervalue the relationships they have with their coworkers and colleagues as well, but perhaps that is for another post 🙂
Excellent introductory written for this post and outstanding TED Talk, George. #youmatter
Thank you for sharing this one. I watched it first thing on a Monday morning- not a bad way to start the week 🙂 Shall be re-posting and saving this one for sure.
Reminds me of some posts I have read on whether or not administrators need to be liked. Thanks for posting!
The room simply disappeared from in front of my eyes, and instead of sitting at a cold metal and melmac desk, I was sitting in a meadow. I could no longer hear the strident voice of Miz R. lecturing the 3rd grade class; never connecting… always lecturing. I was outside, far away, watching the butterflies.
My daydreams were so vivid that I can remember them today. Suddenly, the slap of a ruler on the hard desk surface snapped me out of my reverie. My teacher's angry face appeared in a startling cross-fade.
No, there is no learning without positive relationships. That much was obvious to me when I was eight years old. I am now a teacher, and being hugged by my students is one of my greatest joys. Relationships make it all worthwhile.
I have always believed that I couldn't teach a child effectively if I didn't connect with them in a meaningful way. Many of my colleagues in my early years of teaching, thought that I was too soft and I questioned my beliefs. Rita Pierson just took me back to when I was that young teacher, feeling like a square peg in a round hole. She touched my inner core and reaffirmed for me that teaching IS about the connection and it IS about relationships.
Thank you for sharing this, George. I know that I will be sharing it too!
[…] sometimes it can be overwhelming. I remember sharing Rita Pierson's Ted Talk saying that "Every Kid Needs a Champion", and being inspired by her message. One of the quotes that stuck out to me was when she said, […]
Love this! Thanks for sharing!
George, I recently shared this with my staff because I believe it is such a powerful and simple message. We need to realize that a teacher's job goes way beyond content. Look up the definition! It's about a relationship that leads to true learning and understanding. It doesn't end in June. If the students continues to learn and think, then that relationship had true power.
[…] throughout this year. Whether it be a 20% time talk by Kevin Brookhouser, a riveting speech by Rita Pierson, the Epic Evernote experiment by Nick Provenzano, or an Edcamp. I'm so happy working in this […]

After allowing the firing of former Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff to digest for a few days, it is now time for the organization to ask themselves more questions. The Sabres must also decide what lies ahead. One question on the top of fans and analysts minds is, did the Sabres let go of the right man?
Lindy Ruff
Make no mistake about it, Ruff is a good coach. With that being said, every coach gets fired. Ruff took over as the bench boss of the Sabres in 1997 and remained there for a remarkable and unprecedented (at least in profession sports today) 16 years. Ruff took the team to the conference finals in his first season. Then, the Stanley Cup Finals in his second followed by two more conference finals in 2005-06 and 2006-07. In 2006-07 he captured the Presidents Trophy.
Ruff got the most out of the teams that he had when the organization was not willing to fork over big dollars for stars. So the results were seen as a success. However, when Terry Pegula took over the team in February 2011, expectations greatly rose and Ruff was not able to deliver.
Ruff finished his time with the Sabers with a record of 571-432-78-84. However, in the last five years the team qualified for the playoffs just twice and lost both times in the first round.
When asked before the season what had been his key to his longevity, Ruff had said he reinvented himself. This was a telling remark as the Sabres stumbled out of the gates. If Ruff had already tried to reinvent himself and this was the result, there was no way he could reinvent himself again and change his message and the team's fortunes. As the struggles continued, Ruff's frustration was evident and came across to everyone in his post game interviews. So his message got stale and a change was needed. With that said, was Ruff the right guy to take the fall or is the general manager, Darcy Regier, the one who should have taken the fall?
Darcy Regier
With Ruff gone the man on the hot seat is now GM Regier. For so long the combination of Ruff and Regier have been described as: attached at the waist, yet that was broken this past week. While the results have not been there on the ice, Regier has been spending. According to Cap Geek, the Sabres have just $6-million in cap space. They are the ninth highest spending team in the league and yet, as of Feb. 23, they sat 14th in the Eastern Conference standings with just 13 points. How much of this lack of success falls on the coach and how much falls on player management decisions?
Regier has made some questionable moves since his pocket book expanded. He acquired Robyn Regehr, at an annual price of just over $4-million, even though his numbers had been on the decline since 2005-06 when he had 26 points.
Regier also paid out $4.5-million (through 2017-18) to Ville Leino through free agency in the summer of 2012. Leino was coming off a 56-point season, a career-high, with the Philadelphia Flyers, but in his first season he registered just 25. This season, he has yet to play and there are some reports that his hip injury may keep him out all season.
Finally, Regier also signed former Calder Trophy winner Tyler Myers to a massive deal where his annual cap hit is $5.5-million. However, Myers is set to make $12-million this season and earned a signing bonus of $10-million. Despite his young age of 23-years-old, Myers too has regressed since his rookie campaign. In his first season 2009-10, Myers recorded 48 points and a plus 13 rating. The following season he registered 37 points; followed by 23 and this season, has three. In 2010-11, Myers was an even rating, and while he did finish last season as a plus five, this year he is already a minus six and been a healthy scratch in two games.
These misses on the part of Regier have to put his job in serious jeopardy. While many focus on the interim tag given to new coach Ron Rolston, it might not be so much about his performance behind the Sabres bench, but rather about the uncertain future of Regier. The reason Rolston may have that tag, may be because if the organization cannot turn things around on the ice, they may clean house in the offseason and want to give the new general manager a chance to pick his own guy. Either way Regier survived for now but is nowhere from safe.
The New Guy
This is a great opportunity for Ron Rolston, even though he is stepping into some big shoes. He has served as the head coach of Team USA's National Development Program and knows many of the players after taking over as the Sabres' AHL team, the Rochester Americans, coach before the 2011-12 season. In his first year, he led the team to a record of 36-26 and a second-place finish in the North Division during the regular season. This season, before being promoted he had a record of 27-19 with Rochester.
What's Next For Lindy Ruff?
This will not be the last we hear of Ruff. There is no doubt that another organization will give him a chance with his track record. It really depends on what Ruff wants to do. If he wants to take time and recharge, maybe evaluate himself, the way Ken Hitchcock did, then he can do that.
One opportunity that may present itself in the near future is perhaps coaching Canada at the IIHF World Hockey Championships in Stockholm, Sweden in May. This has long been a landing spot for proven coaches who are let go during the regular season and has re-launched many careers.
There is also much speculation that he will still be part of Team Canada's Olympic staff for 2014 in Sochi, Russia, if NHL players attend, based on his relationship with the program and fellow Canadian coaches.
Whether it is in the NHL or internationally, Ruff will land somewhere. He will get an opportunity, and for him, hopefully he can capture the Stanley Cup that has eluded him during his 16 years as a head coach.

MONTREAL (Aug. 31)
The Hadassah-WIZO organization of Canada will devote next month to an extensive campaign across the country to promote the goals and achievements of the organization and to recruit new members, it was decided last week at its semi-annual national executive meeting in Ottawa which was attended by Hadassah-WIZO leaders from one end of Canada to the other.
Clara Belinsky, national president, who made the announcement of the special month's activities, said that Ruth Izakson, chairman of the World WIZO Executive, will be in Canada for the entire month as a special guest to help spark the activities. Among the cities she will visit are Toronto, Hamilton, St. John, St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, Ottawa, Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary and Saskatoon.
Mrs. Belinsky also said that the executive committee meeting also decided that in honor of International Children's Year 1979 a gift of the book, "The Learning Potential Assessment Device," by Dr. Reuven Feuerstein, psychologist and director of the Canadian-WIZO Research Institute in Jerusalem, will be given to all universities across Canada that have psychology departments, and to many librarians.
Another decision was to develop a Jewish heritage program of rebuilding, rejuvenating and structuring Jewish consciousness in Canada through study groups, families and youth encounters and seminars in Canada and Israel.

The 'Fiscal Cliff' and Public Opinion
Just as the White House and Congress faced a deadline for an agreement on raising the debt ceiling in 2011, they now must reach a deal to avoid a "fiscal cliff" before year-end. And, they have to do it against the backdrop of a public that's divided on how to reduce the deficit.
Latinos Express Growing Confidence In Personal Finances, Nation's Direction
Compared with 2011, more Latinos express satisfaction with the direction of the country, report that their finances are in "excellent" or "good" shape and expect their family's finances to improve in the next 12 months.
A Recovery No Better than the Recession
The median income of American households decreased by as much in the two years after the official end of the Great Recession as it did during the recession itself. The current recovery is the worst for household income for any post-recession period in decades.
Americans Feel No Better or Worse Off in the Obama Years; Politics Colors Views of Recession's Toll
Americans do not rate their personal finances any better –or worse – than they did when Barack Obama took office nearly four years ago. And while income is a major factor in people's views of their personal finances, so too is their partisan affiliation.
Obama Holds Lead; Romney Trails on Most Issues
Despite the stagnant economy and broad dissatisfaction with national conditions, Barack Obama holds a significant lead over Mitt Romney. Obama is favored by a 50% to 43% margin among registered voters. Romney loses ground on issue of which candidate can best improve the economy.
GOP Holds Early Turnout Edge, But Little Enthusiasm for Romney
Republicans are more engaged than Democrats in contrast to 2008 when it comes to focusing on this year's presidential campaign and saying it really matters who wins. But Democrats are more enthusiastic about Barack Obama than Republicans are about Mitt Romney.
Economy, Election Are Public's Top Stories
The public continued to track news about the economy and the presidential election, while paying less attention to another important political story – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's victory in a hard-fought recall election.
Perceptions of Economic News Turn More Negative
The public's perceptions of economic news have taken a turn for the worse. That could be bad news for Barack Obama, who held a lead over Mitt Romney in polling conducted mostly before disappointing jobs report and stock market slide during the week of May 31-June 3.
Public Sees Gas Prices Down Across Much of Nation
About half of Americans say the price of gasoline has gone down over the past month. Those in West Coast states, however, are much more likely to see gasoline prices going up.
Public Attention Focused on U.S. Economy
Americans followed news about the nation's economy more closely than any other news last week amid new signs the pace of the recovery has slowed.

I had two moles removed off of my head in early December. One on the back of my head and one on my right sideburn. Both were benign, but the scars are still a red/purple color and the one on the back of my head which is the bigger of the two is still itchy. Is this normal?
How Long Will my Scar Be Red/purple and Itchy For After Mole Removal?
Doctor Answers 2
It can take up to one year for a scar to fully mature. It is important to keep the sun exposure down to a minimum on those areas as they heal.
Scar Maturity after Surgery
It can take 6-12 months for a scar to fully mature. During that time, it would be good to use a sunscreen and/or hat to prevent sun exposure to the scar. Since a scar has a much thinner epidermis overlying it (compared to normal skin), the UV rays can penetrate deeper and cause dilation of the blood vessels. This can cause the scar to become more pink. With proper treatment the pinkness to a scar is the last thing to fade out. If your scar is itching, becoming firm or raised, it would be a good idea to see your dermatologist. Sometimes scars become hypertrophied or develop into a keloid. These are basically scars that produce too much collagen. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are frequently easily treated with injections of steroids into the scar or special silicone bandages/gels and massage of the scar. Good luck.

Riverton's Bornhoft Construction is low bidder on Riverview Road reconstruction project
The intersection of Hill Street and Riverview Road will be realigned and rebuilt in a project to begin this fall with a bridge replacement. Jerry Bornhoft Construction of Riverton was the low bidder on the project. (County10.com file photo)
(Riverton, Wyo.) – A Riverton contractor is the apparent low bidder for the Riverview Road realignment project slated to begin this fall, according to information from the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Bids on the $3.3 million project were opened on Juy 11th in Casper. Jerry Bornhoft Construction, Inc. was the low bidder at $2.800,298.60.
Bornhoft's bid was $159, 400 less than Patrick Construction, Inc. Other bidders included HK Contractors, Inc., High Country Construction, Inc., Habitat Construction LLC and Mountain Construction Company.
WYDOT asked the city to concur with the bid, and the council voted unanimously to do so.
The contract for the project is scheduled to be let at a meeting of the Wyoming Transportation Committee later this week.
Riverton Public Works Director Bill urbigkit told the city council that funding for the project is coming from the WYDOT Urban Systems fund in the amount of $1.957 million, from Fremont County at $500,000, from the state's Mineral Royalty Grant program in the amount of $500,000 and the city's share will be $356,832.
In association with the rebuild of the road, which will include construction of a new bridge over an irrigation canal and straightening out an "s" cure and a new intersection for Hill Street, the city plans to replace aging utilities under that stretch of road, including water and sewer lines. Funding for that utility work is coming from the city's water and sewer accounts.

Sign up for our weekly email * Ofcom has announced it has completed the sale of 4G mobile spectrum, raising less money than expected. We answer five questions on the deal. How much did Ofcom sell 4G for? Telcoms regulator Ofcom raised £2.34bn from the sale at auction. This is much less than the £22bn raised from the 3G auction in 2000. How much was 4G expected to go for? The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) had forecast that the auction would raise £3.5bn for the Treasury. Who were the buyers? Everything Everywhere; Hutchison 3G UK; Niche Spectrum Ventures, a BT subsidiary; Telefonica (O2); and Vodafone, were the winning bidders. What are people saying? They are mostly expressing disappointment. Rachel Reeves MP, Labour's shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, told the BBC: "This is yet another blow to George Osborne's failing economic plan. It shows how foolish and short-termist the chancellor was to bank this cash in the Autumn Statement to make his borrowing figures look less bad." While Tory John Redwood, MP, told the BBC: "The figure for the 4G auction was optimistic, just like most of the numbers in George Osborne's strategy. This is a dent, but there are far bigger dents in the public finances." What are the further forecasted benefits of 4G? As well as providing smartphone and tablet computer users with superfast download speeds, 4G, according to Ofcom, will provide £20bn of benefits for UK consumers over the next 10 years. Maria Miller speaking to the BBC said: "Spectrum use is worth more than £50bn to the UK economy and 4G mobile broadband is a key part of our digital growth strategy, so I am delighted the auction has been completed."

Although Mr. Felix D. Harris of Los Angeles ACORN told us he didn't care about our prostitution business in regards to a housing loan, he drew the line when we spoke about the underage girls. Although he did not kick us out, he was the only employee in our nationwide ACORN child prostitution investigation who would not assist us.
For his leadership, superior ethics, unwavering integrity, compassion for young women, and for serving as a shining beacon of inspiration for his fellow ACORN employees, I am honored to present Felix Harris, program director at ACORN Housing, with the humble award of ACORN EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR.

Yorkville gun rights advocate favors Obamas tougher gun measures
The NRA should remove him as a member
Meh. I believe in the mandatory training. A deadly weapon should require at least a basic training course. Can't tell you how many idiots (sorry ignorant) people I've seen screwing around at a range...
I don't believe in any mandatory anything, it is a bill of rights not a bill of needs or requirements. These rights do not come with mandatory training or permission slips to use them.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I was reading a blog yesterday about the evils of SELECT *. The author pointed out that it's almost always a bad idea to use SELECT * for a query, but in the case of SQL Azure (or any cloud database, for that matter) it's especially bad, since you're paying for each transmission that comes down the line. A very good point indeed.
This got me to thinking - shouldn't we treat ALL programming that way? In other words, wouldn't it make sense to pretend that we are paying for every chunk of data - a little less for a bit, a lot more for a BLOB or VARCHAR(MAX), that sort of thing? In effect, we really are paying for that. Which led me to the thought of Performance-Driven Development, or the act of programming with the goal of having the fastest code from the very outset. This isn't an original title, since a quick Bing-search shows me a couple of offerings from Forrester and a professional in Israel who already used that title, but the general idea I'm thinking of is assigning a "cost" to each code round-trip, be it network, storage, trip time and other variables, and then rewarding the developers that come up with the fastest code.
I wonder what kind of throughput and round-trip times you could get if your developers were paid on a scale of how fast the application performed...
Timely topic. I was just about to start some Google searching for ways to measure the amount of time it takes to execute a stored procedure. I'm in the process of converting some stored procedures that use temp tables to use common table expressions and I'd love to know of a way to see the benefits, or lack there of, by changing from a temp table to a common table expression.
if developers were paid based on the performance of their code, we would not have fast applications, we would have cold, hungry developers. I hope the evil SELECT * article had an exception for IF [NOT] EXISTS (SELECT *). To get developers to write good code, we have to start with understanding the execution plan. To have a meaningingful execution plan, it must be for a populated database, even if its fake data. We do have the UPDATE STATISTICS capability for setting pages and rows, but not histogram. Once, I started to build a data distribution statistics histogram editor for SQL 2000, but in 2005/8, there is a checksum-type field, so I cannot generate a valid histogram.
It would be nice if MS let me know how the checksum is generated. I could generate fake data distribution stats, developers would have realistic execution plans to look at, and we would still have bad performance from poorly built apps
I'm a big fan of developing for performance from the word go. Unfortunately, it's easy for a query to be knocked up with no regard for how it might perform in a production environment, with production data volumes or how it would scale as data volumes increase. A run through on a dev environment that typically doesn't have production-level data volumes generally doesn't flag up a noticeable issue unless you pro-actively think about performance - i.e. may take ms to run a query on dev, but a simple check of the execution plan could sound alarm bells for how it might perform in production.
So, I'm in the camp where I'd much rather be doing "Performance-Driven Development" to minimise as much as I can, the possibility of poor performance coming back to bite me later.
