		<description><![CDATA[Back in the day, the City of New Orleans measured the success of Mardi Gras by the amount of garbage left to scoop off Bourbon Street on Ash Wednesday.

Unless you live in California, the chances are those beautiful red roses have come a long, long way to your flower shop or supermarket. Domestic growers supply less than 10 percent of all the roses sold in the United States, according to Amy Stewart, author [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Art teachers have always used found materials,&#8221; Marilyn Brackney said.  &#8220;Budgets for art materials are slim, and late in the semester funds are gone. Teachers had to fall back on free supplies.&#8221; Brackney speaks from experience. A trained artist and art educator, she lives in Columbus, Indiana, where she taught in local public schools.

		<description><![CDATA[I first became conscious of altered books 12 years ago when a graphic artist friend, Sue, told me she was creating them. She pointed out it is O.K. to reuse old, unwanted books, which are, unfortunately, in ample supply. Books become obsolete — unreadable through wear and tear, or simply outdated.

Then, in between the equally dreary news on the radio, something interesting caught my ears. I heard Robert Siegel on All Things Considered interviewing the director of a movie called &#8220;Oka!,&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The way we receive information is changing. Some friends have completely abandoned hardcover books for e-books; others have never read a book in electronic form, and yet others have collections of both. Our public libraries increasingly offer patrons a choice of formats. With the rapid development of technology, I think this was bound to happen. [...]]]></description>

The couple only drive vintage cars which WP has renovated. He spent four months [...]]]></description>

Almost since the invention of the “crown cork” in the 19th century, bottle caps have provided an inexpensive [...]]]></description>
