When preparing holiday gifts, you will certainly get hold of beautiful wrapping paper, gift bags and colorful ribbons to properly pack your chosen presents. When preparing for a trip, you will undoubtedly provide wheeled suitcases and travel bags to properly pack your personal items. When preparing for a forthcoming relocation, you will have to supply adequate packing materials to properly pack all your earthly possessions.
Taking into account the magnitude of the moving process, it is advisable to get a clear idea of the type and quantity of the packing supplies you are going to need well in advance, so that you have enough time to provide everything necessary and to pack your items at your own pace. Be warned that you will have to go beyond simple cardboard boxes and rolls of bubble wrap to perform the challenging task of packing your entire household and ensuring the safety of your belongings during the transportation. Quality packing materials may save you lots of troubles, time and money – just figure out what specific supplies you need and how much of them you will have to purchase.
How to determine what packing supplies I need?
Sorting out your belongings and deciding which of them you are going to take with you should be one of the first things to do when organizing a residential move. A floor plan of your new place and a detailed inventory sheet of your things will help you make an informed decision about the fate of every single possession of yours, so that you relocate only items of high practical, aesthetic or sentimental value. Besides, you will be able to identify the items that will require specialized packing because of their size, weight, fragility, awkward shapes or high value. So, take some accurate measurements (depth x height x width, as well as the diagonal dimensions of each piece), estimate the amount of packing supplies you are going to need and go on a packing materials hunt!
Where to get packing supplies?
Brand new packing supplies can be ordered online or purchased from a local moving company, or at a mail service store, or an office supply outlet, etc. Take the time to compare prices and find special deals and make sure you have all the specialty materials required for some extremely delicate and valuable possessions of yours.
Ask family, friends, neighbors and coworkers if they have any packing supplies in good condition that you can use. You can even get some clean and sturdy boxes for free from local businesses or use the available containers in your home (laundry baskets, buckets, etc.) you will take with you anyway. Professional wrapping and padding materials can be substituted with old towels, newspapers and other similar items, but have in mind that none of them will provide as good protection as bubble wrap, packing peanuts, cushioning foam and other specialized goods.
What packing materials do I need?
When moving house, you can't do without:
Moving boxes
Corrugated cardboard boxes are absolutely indispensable when it comes to moving house. Convenient, practical and affordable, they provide the most efficient method for shipping household items across the country.
Cardboard boxes of assorted sizes
You will need plenty of clean and sturdy packing boxes of assorted sizes. Every relocation is different depending on how far you are moving, how you intend to transport your goods, and of course, how large your household is, so the exact number of moving boxes you are going to need is hard to define. Generally, you are recommended to prepare about 10 small boxes, 7-8 medium boxes and 5 large boxes per room.
When packing your household items, don't forget to reinforce the bottoms and the corners of the moving boxes with quality packing tape to guarantee the safety of your belongings. Putting a cushioning layer of clean corrugated paper on the bottom and along the walls is also a good idea. Also, don't make the boxes too heavy as they may break under their own weight.
Specialty boxes
To provide adequate protection to your delicate and valuable possessions, you are advised to get hold of specialty boxes:
- Wardrobe boxes are perfect for storing fine garments;
- Artwork and mirror boxes are custom-built to fit the particular shapes of your items. Besides, most of them come with frame protectors that can be secured to the corners of your piece to prevent damage during the move;
- File boxes are very convenient for keeping your documents sorted and safe both during shipment and then in your new home as well;
- Lamp boxes, mattress boxes and crib boxes are just a few more examples of the various specialty boxes you can find handy for your move.
Wrapping and cushioning materials
To ensure that your belongings remain completely intact during the move, you need to wrap them carefully and to prevent shifting inside the boxes. So, make sure you have plenty of adequate packing materials for moving, such as:
- Packing paper – unlike newspaper, packing paper will not leave ink stains on your possessions. It will keep your items clean and well-cushioned, providing very good protection to glass surfaces, protruding parts and other delicate elements. Crumpled packing paper is an excellent padding material;
- Bubble wrap – it provides the most effective method for protecting fragile items and sensitive electronics during shipment. Just bubble wrap your breakables and valuables, so that the air-filled material absorbs any undesirable shocks during transit and keeps your prized possessions safe until you reach your new residence;
- Plastic wrap – it can come to your aid in a number of beneficial ways during the moving process: to keep drawers and cabinet doors in place; to keep appliance cords securely wrapped around the piece; to secure paper padding or moving blankets around furniture; to bundle together clothes, bedding, electric cords, or moving boxes; to pack entire drawers without emptying their contents; to prevent dust and dirt from getting to your belongings while in transit; to protect your items from scratches and scuffs, etc. Besides, it sticks only to itself and leaves no residue, so it's extremely practical;
- Moving blankets – they are very convenient for wrapping large items, such as furniture and appliances;
- Packing peanuts – anti-static peanuts provide excellent protection for artwork and electronics, as well as perfect padding;
- Cushioning foam – it absorbs vibrations and shocks and considerably reduces the risks of any potential damage to your belongings;
- Plastic covers – especially designed to protect mattresses and upholstered furniture.
Different bags
Bags of different types and sizes come very handy for packing up your house for a move – mattress bags will keep your mattresses clean and safe during the move, sealable bags are very convenient for keeping small items together, vacuum bags are ideal for packing clothes and bedding as they save space, and even simple garbage bags can be used to hold your bric-a-brac.
Packing tape
Packing tape is of paramount importance when it comes to sealing your boxes or securing the wrapping around a large item. A packing tape dispenser is also good to have, as it will speed up your packing efforts and will save you some nerves when accidentally taping your fingers together or getting the tape stuck to itself.
Strong ropes and moving straps are also very useful for keeping wrapping materials in place, securing furniture doors and drawers, securing your already packed items on the dolly or inside the moving truck, etc.
Permanent markers
Markers will help you label your boxes and indicate their designated rooms. You will know the exact contents of each box and will be able to quickly find the items you need.
A large variety of small hand tools, specialized moving equipment and protective materials will also considerably speed up your efforts and result in efficient and safe packing.

I've been a little lost for words lately. I've had bronchitis/pneumonia for a full month now and am on my fifth antibiotic (save your speech about antibiotics, I love them.) I haven't skated much. I haven't left the house much. I've had a LOT of time to think, and that can get messy. But here's what is CURRENTLY happening in the carnival that is my life.
I am reading The Wife by Meg Wolitzer. I read her book, The Position, many moons ago and loved it. I've moved this book from apartment to apartment and finally decided to read it. I love the was she describes things without being confusing or pretentious. I identify with the main character of this book, and for a book called The Wife, that says something.
Recent internet reads that are definitely worth your time:
1 | Here's My Excuse, Maria Kang - thoughts on body image, mental health, and being who you are
2 | Would Jesus Have Prayed 'Allah'? - linguistics, religion, and tolerance all packaged together
3 | From the Different Ways You Can Miss Someone - basically sums up how I feel about my ex-husband
When I grow up, I want to be as freaking rad as Lennon Stella. Also, I love the name Lennon. Also also, These girls have more talent in the tips of their tiny little fingers than I have in my whole body!
I'm thinking about making an enormous life change. This is part of why I've been so quiet. I really can't say much more publicly but it's weighing on me and scaring me and exciting me all at the same time. Stay tuned.
I'm taking my first Skillshare class! I'm going to be learning to hand-letter by taking this class. I'm excited, because nothing inspires me more than words and art, I've just had trouble in the past putting the two together. You can do it at your own pace, so join me if you want! Your first class is just $10.
If I watch anything, it's on Hulu Plus. Parenthood, Nashville, Grey's Anatomy, New Girl, The Mindy Project, and Modern Family are all back. But I normally save them all for Saturday and watch them while I clean.

Last year's John Smith's Northumberland Plate hero Antiquarium (pictured in blue) features among an excellent field of eight for the £19,000 Betway Conditions Stakes (4.00pm), a Fast-Track Qualifier, on Tapeta at Wolverhampton on Monday, January 16.
The winner of the extended two-mile Tapeta contest receives a free and automatic place in the £150,000 Betway All-Weather Marathon Championships Conditions Stakes on Polytrack at Lingfield Park on Finals Day, Good Friday, April 14.
Antiquarium, trained by Charlie Appleby for Godolphin, flew home for a scintillating victory over the same distance in the famous heritage handicap at Newcastle in June, which was run on Tapeta for the first time in 2016.
On his only subsequent appearance, the five-year-old ran well to take eighth in another prestigious staying handicap, the 14-furlong Betfred Ebor, on turf at York in August.
Adam Kirby, who won an extended nine-furlong Wolverhampton maiden on Antiquarium in February, 2015, takes the ride again on the son of New Approach.
Charlie Appleby commented: "Antiquarium's preparation for this race has gone well and we are looking forward to getting him back on the All-Weather.
"He is a proven performer on Tapeta, having won the Northumberland Plate as well as a maiden at Wolverhampton, and hopefully he can book his place for Finals Day.
"We always wanted to give him a break after he ran creditably in the Ebor as he is just a better horse on a synthetic surface.
"I was slightly tempted to take him out to Australia with a couple of my other stayers but we know that he runs well on the All-Weather and Good Friday will also be a nice springboard into the turf season.
"I would be disappointed if he is not bang there but, if he doesn't qualify on Monday, then we will charge on to the next Fast-Track Qualifier at Kempton Park in February."
Godolphin is also represented by Famous Kid (Saeed bin Suroor/Josephine Gordon), an impressive six-length winner over 14 furlongs on Polytrack at Chelmsford City in November, 2015, who makes his first start since finishing third in a turf handicap at Meydan, UAE, in February, 2016.
Sandro Botticelli (John Ryan/Martin Harley) is a Listed scorer on turf and has run to a high level of form on the All-Weather, having filled the runner-up spot in the re-arranged G3 John Porter Stakes at Chelmsford City in April.
Havana Beat (Tony Carroll/George Downing) was third in the 2015 G2 Yorkshire Cup but disappointed on his All-Weather debut at Lingfield Park on December 31, while Gang Warfare (Jamie Osborne/George Baker) has gained of pair of handicap wins at Wolverhampton, including when taking a valuable 14-furlong contest in March.
Talented dual-code performer Intense Tango (Karl Burke/Dougie Costello), a G2 winner over hurdles, Kempton Park handicap victor Steve Rogers (Roger Varian/Jack Mitchell) and Old Town Boy (Charlie McBride/Paddy Bradley) complete the line-up.
A bumper eight-race card at Wolverhampton on Monday gets underway at 1.50pm and runs through until 5.30pm. Grandstand tickets are available for free on the gate at all Wolverhampton's fixtures throughout January.

Hand was among the leading names on the grid in 2014 as he finished eighth overall with the SV Racing squad.
However he has opted to return to Pyro for 2015 having raced for Mark Hunt's team in his debut season in 2013. Pyro will also run a car for Brett Smith – son of British Touring Car Championship racer Jeff Smith – and oversee a further entry in the Clio Cup for BTCC squad BMR which is expanding into Renault single-model competition with its new signing Ashley Sutton.
The first two races of this year's 18-race Renault UK Clio Cup season will take place at the world-famous Brands Hatch circuit in Kent on the weekend of Sat 4th/Sun 5th April. All the Clio Cup's races will take place at BTCC events meaning huge trackside crowds and live television coverage on ITV4.
Hand said: "Pyro keep having a knack of winning the title and it's the title I want. I think with Brett and Ash we also have the strongest driver line-up out there and we're all going to push each other like crazy. Ashley I know on a personal level – I know how good he is and he is also one of only a few drivers in the paddock I really respect so I'm looking forward to working with him.
"I also believe Pyro are the best when it comes to running cars in the Clio Cup so I know I'm getting the best treatment with them, plus Andy Priaulx (BTCC star and three-time World Touring Car Champion) will be working with me solely to help me go for the title. I know what job I've got to do and that is to win the title."
Pyro Team Principal Mark Hunt commented: "We've got three great talents in Ash, Brett and Ashley in the BMR car and so long as they don't all fall over one another I expect all three to be pushing right at the front. I remember we had a dream 1-2-3 finish at Rockingham in 2011 and see no reason why we can't go back to that again…
"Ash had more podium results last year with SVR than he did with us in 2013 but his form was a lot more sporadic. If we can help him keep to that level but, importantly, get the consistency back in him then I believe he can challenge for the title."

"From the time a girl begins to menstruate to the time you turn her over to her husband, the mother is responsible for her purity. If I give a soiled daughter to her husband, he can shame my family, speak evil of me, even bring her back to me" (156)
Breath, Eyes, Memory
Edwidge Danticat
Significance of the Title:
a person or thing through which power is exerted or an end is achieved
-Understanding the strength in exercising agency to achieve an end goal.
-Ability to exert agency through the length of the phrases
-Think of Martine and Sophie in relation to agency.
Martine escapes her problems through avoidance rather than facing them.
Meet the Author: Edwidge Danticat
Author of
Krik? Krak!
Born in Haiti; raised by aunt and uncle while parents moved to New York
As an immigrant teenager:
She felt discomfort because of her disorientation with her surroundings
Turned to literature for solace
Writing was her way of expressing herself (feelings)
Aaron Mahal | Melvin Hernandez | Jerry Torres
In response to society's expectations of women, Martine tries to escape through avoidance whereas Sophie counters these expectations by exercising agency to achieve self-acceptance.
Deeper Meaning Behind Thesis:
Breath, Eyes, Memory
"I come from a place where breath, eyes and memory are one, a place from which you carry your past like the hair on your head. Where women return to their children as butterflies or as tears in the eyes of the statues that their daughters pray to. My mother was a brave star at dawn. My mother was like that woman who could never bleed and then could never stop bleeding, the one who gave in to her pain, to live as a butterfly. Yes, my mother was like me."
Analysis of the Title:
Breath, Eyes, Memory
Parable of the rich man and the poor black girl.
Fulfilling her role as a woman to her husband.
Taking on a role of the mother when she is incapable of doing so.
Brief Analysis
Key Ideas
"I know I should get help, but I am afraid. I am afraid it will become even more real if I see a psychiatrist and he starts telling me to face it…"
(Danticat 190).
Allowing social expectations to dominate vs Exercising agency
"It was up to me to avoid my turn in the fire. It was up to me to make sure my daughter never slept with ghosts, nightmares, and never had her name burnt in flames." (203)
"After my marriage, whenever Joseph and I were
" (203).
Experiences strengthen women
Allows women transition into their next chapter in life
The breath and eyes symbolize women's experiences
The gender inequalities that makes their lives difficult and uncomfortable
The memories are a symbol of lessons used to overcome challenges
To tackle on their new future lives
To escape from the expectations that women are faced with.
Importance in the idea of
Sepaaration of mind and body.
to meet society's expectation's of her role as a woman.
These expectations have been internalized over generations.
Similarities between Sophie and Martine:
Temporary fix to a perpetual problem
"I am his wife. There are certain things I need to do to keep him."
"The fear of abandonment. You always have that in the back of your mind, don't you?" (210).
(Danticat 234)
Darren Ma | Naomichi Yamamoto | Steven Lai
Universal Lesson
-In order to accept oneself, one must face his or her fears.
Martine continues test Sophie to avoid societal scrutiny for not following the expectations of women
Parable of the rich man and
the poor black girl. (154 - 155)
Haitian men, they insist that their women are virgins and have their ten fingers. (151)
Sophie challenges social expectations and exercises agency when deciding to protect her daughter from the tradition of testing, doubling, and expectations for women.
She does this by defying Martine and Grandma Ife's rituals and avoidance
Grandma Ife and Martine's avoidance represents conformity to social norms and lack of agency
"It was up to me…". Repetition shows exercise of agency in accepting her own idea of motherhood in defiance of social expectations.
"You feel she was only pretending to be happy….That's always how she's survived. She feels that she has to stay one step ahead of a mental institution so she has to hold it together at least on surface"
(Danticat 218).
"'Someone like me, you see me happy, you know I'm pretending,' she said" (188).
"'I am very worried about her state of mind,' I said. 'It was like two people. Someone who was trying to hold things together and someone who was falling apart'" (218).
"I don't need an aphrodisiac. I need a little more understanding."
"I do understand. You are usually reluctant to start, but after a while you give in. You seem to enjoy it" (196).
"Joseph could never understand why I had done something so horrible to myself. I could not explain to him that it was like breaking manacles, an act of freedom" (130).
Sophie's desire for understanding
You get candy
"Did you find an aphrodisiac? I don't need an aphrodisiac. I need a little more understanding. I do understand. You are usually reluctant to start, but after a while you give in. You seem to enjoy it."(196)
-Not reaching womanhood
-she cannot change her body, causing to have a personal shame of it
-Does not want flaws to be known
-Wants to keep her facade that she is normal

Three new poems at SMOKING GLUE GUN. Thanks for taking a look!
Mary Biddinger and Matthew Cheney in Conversation
New interview!
*Mary Biddinger and Matthew Cheney have both published books with Black Lawrence Press, in Mary's case five books of poetry and in Matthew's a collection of short stories. Both are also ensconced in academia: Mary is a professor of English at the University of Akron, where she also edits the Akron Series in Poetry, and Matthew is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of New Hampshire, where he studies modernist prose and its legacies.***
MATTHEW CHENEY: First, maybe we can start with the most important question: Do you have any pets? Dogs? Cats?
MARY BIDDINGER: Matt, this is my favorite kind of question. When at home I'm surrounded by pets: four cats, and one dog. Sure, they can be pesky (try sequencing a poetry manuscript on a hardwood floor with an overzealous tabby who wants to give her input on section breaks), but they are…

Czar For (Pre-) Sale
The Czar is currently up for pre-sale via Black Lawrence Press. The pre-sale price is $13.95 and ore-orders will stay at that price until July 31. Then, the price will shift to the retail $15.95. Support your local Czar!
Here's the link:
The Blurbs Are In. All Networks Project the Czar as the Czar.
The Czar Has Blurbs!
The book blurbs have manifested themselves, and it is good.Such fantastic words from fantastic and admirable poets and people:
As a child, my mother taught me to zigzag Z to avoid getting eaten by an alligator. Mary Biddinger and Jay Robinson employ this technique here: in the clever curve of C around the subject, in the sharp switchback tack of Z for zealous. They commit to wordplay revolution, erasing origins, replacing narrative with wit, sound, and imagery so surprising it feels, by poem's end, perfectly natural: the thing that waited, haunting, in the swamp. I don't know how else to explain The Czar, whose unexpected becomes so expectant with meaning. This is a brilliant collection/collaboration.
–Carol Guess, author of Doll Studies: Forensics
This exquisite, feature-length project is the comic jam. But it's no joke. You can thank Mary Biddinger and Jay Robinson later. For now, arm yourself…

Czar Day
So excited to announce that my collaborative collection of poetry with Jay Robinson, THE CZAR, is forthcoming from Black Lawrence Press in 2016.
It's official! We are happy to announce that The Czar is forthcoming in 2016. The inaugural ball is going to be most excellent. Here's a link to some propagandist literature from Black Lawrence Press:
Pre-Order Small Enterprise through Black Lawrence Press
Special pre-order price when ordering directly through BLP.
"Swift heels in oily puddles. A toaster wrapped in a bundle of t-shirts. A toddler clutched to the chest. So much stale beer, so much burnt coffee. Biddinger serves you a slice of pie and a double. Tells Tom Waits to eat his heart out. Gives Johnny Rotten the finger. Poems that salvage a grandmother's ring, bleed standing up, nurse, and run. Remember pinhole lakeside constellations, what it felt like to travel by train in a buttoned coat. To be a girl, then woman, weary scavenger, city mouse, wanton, the record of your petty crimes, the small business that keeps the clockwork sky in place." –Danielle Pafunda
Mary Biddinger at NEA Writers' Corner
The 2015 National Endowment for the Arts poetry fellow profiles are now available. Much gratitude to the NEA for its invaluable support of writers and artists.
I realize that receiving an NEA Creative Writing Fellowship is not going to have the same kind of momentous impact on the morale and local economy of my Rust Belt town, but nonetheless I feel that it is a victory for all of us here in Northeast Ohio. I write poems about ordinary folks in the Midwest, using everyday artifacts from their lives, and this award demonstrates that someone is listening. –Mary Biddinger
Coming soon: Small Enterprise
Mary Biddinger's fourth full-length collection of poems, Small Enterprise, is forthcoming from Black Lawrence Press in late August 2015, and now available for pre-ordering.
Small Enterprise at Black Lawrence Press.
Title poem from the collection, at Gulf Coast.
"In Mary Biddinger's Small Enterprise we find a brilliant wackiness that slips into surreality that slips into memory that slips into dream—and then back again. We find a pile of memos from the most interesting Risk Management department on earth. And we find a bewilderingly smart narrator who looks at the world like this: "When I met the machine that eventually/would replace me, all I thought was/ how it filled the room with sun pools/and erroneous static." Biddinger's enterprise, in all its departments and gears and springs, is indeed small—it shrinks until it implodes, comes out the other side as the absolute-vast: 'One team lost its ball, played soccer with a globe.'" —Sarah Vap
"These poems, the best I've seen yet in a career that already outshines most living poets (and plenty of dead ones), offer still more evidence that Mary Biddinger is one of the best, most entertaining poets out there. But these aren't just exercises in clever line breaks and punchy imagery. With her trademark blend of wit, surprise, and poignancy, Biddinger scrutinizes the many spheres of human existence, further pushing the stylistic envelope whilst maintaining her fidelity to art that matters, to language that roundhouses the psyche into something dizzyingly close to enlightenment." —Michael Meyerhofer

Plant Pots Water Fountain
Over the last few years we've really gotten excited about the various ways people have taken some hum-drum materials and forged them into something amazing. Such is the case with this lovely little water fountain made from a few plant pots.
This project is easy to do and if you've got a few pots lying around it won't stress the bank account much either.
This design was conjured up by Marie over at The Interior Frugalista as she thought about what might go well on her backyard deck.
"So, we've had these three flower pots kicking around, like forever. Inspired by some of the DIY fountains I've seen on Pinterest and Hometalk, we decided to give this a whirl.
I cannot tell a lie, we had several frustrating botched attempts with this project. Rocks that were too small and kept plugging the pump. A spray nozzle that overflowed onto the deck. Painting a large bowl to catch the overflow but the paint peeled despite several coats of a protective finish. A chunk breaking off one of the pots while trying to make a hole in the bottom to accommodate the pump….shhhhhh…with a hammer.
Oh well, like they say, live and learn. At least by following this tutorial you won't make the same mistakes."

As the world leader in holiday rentals, we offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We're committed to helping families and friends find the perfect holiday rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.
We had a fantastic time at the gite. It was clean when we arrived. Very well furnished and with a lot of kitchen appliances. Lots of space around. Owner's family were welcoming and friendly - keen to respond to anything we may have needed. The Jura area is stunning and there was much to see and visit. Although it says it is for up to 6 persons, there are enough beds to sleep up to 10 people, which would make it a very reasonable price for a large family. We would happily return to this gite and recommend it to friends.
A great place to stay. The owners were charming and helpful and the gite was probably the nicest we have stayed in. The garden is perfect for good weather and the house clean, modern well equipped and very comfortable. A perfect rural location with good walks locally and easy access to places such as Besancon, Ornans and Salin. Very much recommended.

I have had the pleasure of being interviewed by Promod Sharma for Tea At Taxevity. Since I'm pretty new to giving interviews on video, I was glad with Promod's a calm demeanor and his preparation. He explained what would happen and the topics we would be covering. As with everything else, preparation is key. (Giving us also the chance to laugh!)
If you're being interviewed, I encourage you to prepare at home by looking at how you will dress, what the key message is that you want to get across, practice once more how you'd like to represent your business. Look at materials on your website – what is the recurring theme? When you network, is there something you need to explain for people new to your business. Keep this explanation in mind, because the viewers of the interview will have the same questions, so you want to be able to incorporate this into your answers.

Since news is often still a local station's cash cow (and dangerously so, given the current economic climate), those are the numbers that get shaken and stirred, and analyzed the most.
A great "book," and the general manager is popping champagne. A mediocre or "flat" book, and the call goes out to the consultants to tweak the product. And if a station loses a newscast it was winning before, quiet hell breaks loose: the news director may get the pink slip, star anchor Tom-Dick-Harry may go back to working weekends, and horror of horrors, it may be time for a new set.
In Charlotte, though, that's usually not the case. WSOC-TV's moorings hold fast, as they have for 12 years now. Their ship weathers choppy seas and criticism of its newscasts, while watching competitors change, and even multiply.
So, as I've reported for many consecutive ratings periods, WSOC is number one in news, except for the noon news, which is still won by WBTV. At 10pm, WCCB-TV holds its slim lead over WAXN/WSOC.
But if I worked at an NBC affiliate like WCNC-TV, tears would be shed, or a permanent forehead dent would be created, given the numbers that the Winter Olympics delivered in primetime.
Yes, fewer people in the Southeast watched the Olympics than in other parts of the country, but that's not why I'd be crying. I'd be bummed because NBC chose to run coverage until 11:30pm each night, effectively pre-empting stations' 11 o'clock newscasts, which would have received a bobsleigh bump in numbers as a result.
If WCNC could have taken the Olympics ratings straight into an 11 o'clock newscast, they might have beaten Channels 9 and 3 for the first time ever.
In other areas, no surprises, but again, a sampling of what the Charlotte area likes to watch. In the mornings, Good Morning America and Regis and Kelly do well, as well as the eternal Price is Right.
In the afternoons, CBS soaps win the prize, as does Oprah, though Montel isn't far behind. ABC's Peter Jennings is the fave anchorman, while Inside Edition and Wheel of Fortune are still popular going into primetime.
Like Easter bunnies and marshmallow Peeps, you know spring is on the way when pledge drives crank up for public broadcasters. You'll watch and listen to their dignified pleas for cash to keep buying the programming that you enjoy. You know the drill.
I was curious about how much some of that programming actually costs, and was surprised at what I found when I asked for some sample costs from Renee Rallos of WFAE-FM.
The flagship NPR programs, Morning Edition and All Things Considered, aren't cheap, folks. Since they're sold to radio stations as a package deal of sorts, WFAE pays $227,665 dollars a year for running them, or about $4,377 a week, if you do the math.
Two other well-known weekly shows are also not sold at outlet stores, either. Car Talk costs stations $18,400 annually, while A Prairie Home Companion runs slightly more, at $19,250. And you wonder why Garrison Keillor's elegant home made a spread in Traditional Home last month.
WFAE's pledge drive, by the way, continues through March 21.
There'll be some interesting discussion and memories of TV done old school later this month on Access 18 on Time Warner Cable. The show Southern Roads and host Michael Chapman will be talking to longtime broadcaster Al Munn, who has histories both at WBTV and WSOC-TV. Most notably, Munn was the producer of Channel 9's beloved live kids' show Joey The Clown in the 1960s. They'll also talk about how the show was done back in the days before digital, and other changes in the broadcasting landscape since then.
You can catch the two half-hours on consecutive Mondays, March 18 and 25, at 8:30pm.
If you're interested in local broadcast happenings, there's another place (other than this fine column) to read some of the latest happenings. NCRTV is a website created by Dann Dunn on his own dime and his own time. Dunn is a production coordinator at Adelphia Channel 4 in Mooresville, and has been a freelance videographer, producer, etc. for several years in the Charlotte area.
Dunn has based the site on DCRTV, a website that keeps up with media in the Washington, DC area. Websites like this have sprung up all over the country. There's also another for Triangle area media. These sites keep up with hirings and firings, the peculiar commonality in media jobs. They also throw down a little dish, and provide links to other websites, newspaper columns, and articles about broadcasters.
Dunn says it takes him about 10 hours a week to update the site with new information. "It's a hobby that has sort of gained a cult following," he says. "I make no money doing it." If you'd like to check out NCRTV, the web address is: www.geocities/com/ncrtv. *

WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Poland on Saturday proposed a counter-candidate to Donald Tusk as European Council head, saying the Polish incumbent has hurt his country's interests.
Just days before a March 9-10 European Union summit in Brussels to vote on Tusk's re-election, Poland's conservative government named Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, one of the country's center-right members of the European Parliament, as its candidate for the post.
The move undermines the re-election chances of Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, though he has wide EU backing and his remaining in the job had seemed a formality. His term expires in May.
The nomination of the 68-year-old Saryusz-Wolski stems from feuding in Poland's politics.
The conservative government of the Law and Justice party has accused Tusk, a political rival, of supporting the opposition and of failing to shield Poland from EU criticism. Ruling party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski says Tusk breaks EU rules by backing his former Civic Platform party, which is Poland's main opposition force. Kaczynski also accuses Tusk of contributing through lax security to the death of his twin, President Lech Kaczynski, in a plane crash in 2010.
Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said Saturday he has officially submitted Saryusz-Wolski's candidacy to Malta, which now holds EU presidency.
"Jacek Saryusz-Wolski has a lot of experience in European politics," Waszczykowski told Poland's PAP agency. Moreover, he "guarantees impartiality," though coming from the same party as Tusk.
In reaction, Civic Platform leaders expelled Saryusz-Wolski from the party. He has been critical of some of Tusk's decisions as EU leader.
Saryusz-Wolski prepared Poland's 2004 access to the EU and has since been a European Parliament member. He was its deputy head from 2004-2007.

The glowing embers of mesquite charcoal gift heat and flavor to thin slices of pork loin in the poc chuc (a $9.50 value), and dual basa fillets sizzle beneath lime juice and achiote in the tikin-xic (a $9.99 value).

About Chichen Itza Restaurant
Before you die, you must eat one of Chichen Itza Restaurant's panuchos. At least that's the opinion of LA Weekly food critic Jonathan Gold, who included the appetizer on his list of 99 essential L.A. eats. The turkey-stuffed corn tortillas kick off chef Gilberto Cetina's menu, which contains original recipes as well as Mayan, Spanish, and Lebanese dishes traditionally found in Cetina's native Yucatan. Among the selection of mesquite-grilled entrees is the cochinita pibil, a pork dish that Gilberto marinates with sour orange juice and spices before cooking it in banana leaves. The dish's "succulent, aromatic, tender, irresistible pork" is so sought after that Gilberto makes up to 60 pounds a day, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Chichen Itza is located inside Mercado La Paloma, an upscale food court whose restaurants, bakery, and juice bar have attracted attention from local press. Patrons approach the restaurant's counter to order their meal and then wait at linen-dressed tables for servers to present their selected dishes.
