Food Banks Need Help: Donate To One Near You
The economic recession has caused the loss of nearly 2 million jobs over the last several months. This means that many families across the country no longer have enough money to pay for their homes, medical costs, or their food.
Feeding America is the nation's largest hunger-relief charity. They operate a network of 206 food banks. These food banks are very important in providing hunger relief for those who need it. They supply local soup kitchens and various programs that feed undernourished kids.
The food banks cannot keep up with increasing need as job losses get worse in every part of the country. You can help by donating to the food bank closest to you. When you contact the food bank they will tell you how you can help them serve the local community.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Original 1948 Animation Posted: 21 Dec 08, 11:12:34
The story of Rudolph was originally written as a promotional device for a department store. In 1948, Max Fleischer directed this animated version for the Montgomery Ward department store. It has the song and everything. It's a totally different experience than the stop-motion version of the mid-1960s and is actually quite good. In fact, most of our modern imagery for Santa Clause and his North Pole operations were created by American department stores as merchandising gimmicks. It's actually one of America's best contributions to the world of holidays.

Original 'Winnie the Pooh' Illustrations Posted: 21 Dec 08, 11:12:34
The BibliOdyssey blog has posted original Ernest H. Shepard Winnie the Pooh illustrations. These are the illustrations that were originally published with the Pooh books. They are vastly superior to the Disney art and animations which make their usual mistake of being far too professional. If you want to nap, watch Disney's Pooh. If you want to laugh, read the original books.
