Usually stocks tank some after offering.
Your statement was quite interesting:"good sign that it has not dropped"It announced its recent secondary offering on 2/22 AH, on 2/23, it announced it public offering price to be 10.95 per share.Its high on 2/22 was 11.45 and it closed at 11.39 on 2/22; it dropped to as low as 10.96 on 2/23 and closed at 10.97 on that day.A drop of about 42 cents after it announced its secondary. Would that consider as price drop?It then closed at 10.99 on 2/24, right before it ex-div date of 2/27. Today it closed at 10.88, which was not bad, considering it was only 11 cents less than its closing price on Friday, only 1 cent more than its dividend. However, based on the track record of the last two months after its ex-div date, there is a good possibility that its price will continue to drop for another 10 cents (per day) for the next two days.So better wait and see, before you celebrate too early. If it goes back up tomorrow, we can then start the celebration....GL.
Sorry, no good news yet, it dropped another 3 pennies and closed at 10.85 today, which was exacatly 14 cents less than the closing price on 2/24 (10.99), which was really not bad, till tomorrow...If it comes back up, then we can start celebrating?
How do I put the cork back into the champagne bottle?

The King's Grave : The Search for Richard III
List price: US$26.37
Currently unavailable
AbeBooks may have this title (opens in new window).Try AbeBooks
Discover the official inside story of the life, death and remarkable discovery of history's most controversial monarch. On 22 August 1485 Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field, the last king of England to die in battle. His victorious opponent, Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII), went on to found one of our most famous ruling dynasties. Richard's body was displayed in undignified fashion for two days in nearby Leicester and then hurriedly buried in the church of the Greyfriars. Fifty years later, at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, the king's grave was lost - its contents believed to be emptied into the river Soar - and Richard III's reputation buried under a mound of Tudor propaganda. Its culmination was Shakespeare's compelling portrayal of a deformed and murderous villain, written over a hundred years after Richard's death. Now - in an incredible find - Richard III's remains have been uncovered beneath a car park in Leicester. The King's Grave traces this remarkable journey. In alternate chapters, Philippa Langley, whose years of research and belief that she would find Richard in this exact spot inspired the project, reveals the inside story of the search for the king's grave, and historian Michael Jones tells of Richard's fifteenth-century life and death. The result is a compelling portrayal of one of our greatest archaeological discoveries, allowing a complete re-evaluation of our most controversial monarch - one that discards the distortions of later Tudor histories and puts the man firmly back into the context of his times.show more

Review quote
In almost the exact spot where Langley had first become convinced she was standing on top of Richard's grave, a careful flick of a trowel revealed the leg bone of what would turn out to be the remains of the king, complete with the twisted, scoliosis spine so compellingly placed centre stage by Shakespeare. Now the remarkable story of King Richard's life and death - and the amazing journey of the intuitive woman who never gave up believing that she would one day find his body - has been brought together in this fascinating and informative book Lancashire Evening Post Jones's historical chapters are measured, reasonable and elegantly written Sunday Times A history-making book which I had trouble putting down Historical Novel Society [Philippa Langley] has just written a compelling book with historian and friend Michael Jones ... It is cleverly constructed: in alternate chapters she tells the story of her quest, while Michael details the life of Richard colourfully. It reads like an up-all-night thriller Mail on Sunday This is the year that Richard III rose up from his unmarked grave in a Leicester car park, and this is the book that describes the painstaking quest for the king's body, and the battle that destroyed him. Philippa Langley pursued his remains, Michael Jones pursued his reputation and together they have written a book which explains and defines the battle where he died, the grave that was lost, and the legend that followed him. This book is about an important excavation indeed, of the body from a lost grave, and of a king from a long libel Philippa Gregory The King's Grave ... reveals the remarkable story of how the remains came to be unearthed. And the result is a compelling portrayal of one of this century's most important archaeological discoveries BBC History Magazine History at its most fascinating www.booksmonthly.co.uk/nonfic.html A ... page-turner Current Archaeology Langley's invaluable contribution to the investigation is undisputed; she envisioned, facilitated and drove it for years. Her confidential, breathy, diary-style chapters recreate the immediacy of the dig for the reader ... The Search for Richard III makes for compelling reading TLS Jones's cogent and nuanced narrative provides the historical ballast to Langley's search Guardian Interesting [and] engaging Daily Express The King's Grave tells two remarkable stories in alternating chapters Wall Street Journal Fascinating Booksellershow more
About Philippa Langley
Michael Jones was awarded a history PhD by Bristol University and subsequently taught at Glasgow University and Winchester College. He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and member of the British Commission for Military History, and works now as a writer, media consultant and presenter. Among his historical titles he has written books on the battles of Bosworth, Agincourt, Stalingrad and Leningrad. He was TV consultant for Channel 4's Richard III: Fact or Fiction and National Geographic's Mystery Files: The Princes in the Tower, and co-author, with Philippa Gregory and David Baldwin, of The Women of the Cousins' War. Philippa Langley inaugurated the quest for King Richard III's lost grave as part of her ongoing research into history's most controversial monarch. Her project marked the first-ever search for the grave of an anointed King of England, and was made into the acclaimed TV documentary The King in the Car Park for Channel 4. She is a screenwriter and the secretary of the Scottish Branch of the Richard III Society.show more

[IMAGE]Shafer-s1-2.jpg[/IMAGE]Shafer's Tour and Charter of Endicott, N.Y., took delivery of a new MCI seatbelt-equipped coach J4500.
The new MCI J4500 joins several other MCI coaches, including one other J4500, in Shafer's 14-coach fleet. The relationship between the companies goes back more than two decades, to when Shafer's bought its first brand-new coach from MCI.
The operation ordered the J4500 with seatbelts because clients, especially schools, have been asking for the feature. It was also important for the company to have a second J4500 because it likes to have matched coach pairs for two-coach moves.
[IMAGE]Krapf-12-2.jpg[/IMAGE]Meanwhile, West Chester, Pa.-based Krapf Bus Companies has put two new MCI J4500s into its 20-coach mostly-MCI fleet. The new J4500s, delivered in spring, are the first Krapf coaches to feature three-point seatbelts and 110-volt outlets for passengers wishing to power personal electronic devices.
The new coaches also feature clean-diesel Detroit Diesel engines and Allison transmissions, along with standard MCI safety features such as electronic steering control and wide-ride suspension. Krapf additionally offers Wi-Fi service to its onboard customers.
Additionally, MCI announced that it can now be found on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Headquartered in Atlanta, the nationwide motorcoach service provides real-time, online access to thousands of charter buses across North America.
Teams confirmed to participate include the Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago Cubs, Kansas City Royals, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets, Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals.
Features on Stylus Transportation Corp.'s coaches include the Cummins/Allison drivetrain, 110-volt plugs, USB ports, Alcoa wheels, and an REI Elite system. Two of the six Temsas are ADA-accessible with a wheelchair lift.
The Niagara Scenic Tours' coaches are equipped with 110-volt plugs, USB ports, Alcoa wheels, a preheater, REI monitors and upright mirrors.
At the same time, MCI added resources to the MCI ERSA call center and enhanced the call routing system.

Burgard, Sarah, Jennifer Ailshire, and Lucie Kalousova. 2013. "The Great Recession and Health: People, Populations, and Disparities." Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 650(1): 194-213.
Two research traditions have evolved to assess links between recessions and health, with seemingly divergent findings. Aggregate-level studies generally find that mortality rates decline during recessionary periods. By contrast, individual-level studies generally find that events that frequently occur during recessions, like job loss, unemployment, and material hardship, carry negative health consequences. We comprehensively review evidence from these two bodies of research, illustrate key findings, and show how the different mechanisms can operate in parallel. We also outline some of the limitations of the extant evidence, discuss studies emerging to address these limits and directions for future research, and provide brief empirical examples to illustrate some of these limits and directions using the Health and Retirement Study and the Michigan Recession and Recovery Study. Our review emphasizes the importance of considering both the aggregate- and individual-level associations when evaluating the likely short- and longer-term consequences of the Great Recession for health and health disparities.

The post [Herbal Rootlets]: No. 74 – Summertime Reading and Herbaling appeared first on .]]>
"By suggestion and example, I believe children can be helped to hear the many voices about them. Take Time to listen and talk about the voices of the earth and what they mean—the majestic voice of thunder, the winds, the sound of surf or flowing streams."
– Rachel Carson
It's summertime and that means a lazier pace for most! Enjoying the outdoors, playing in the sprinkler or slip-n-slide, sipping lemonade and watching the fireflies at night.
I enjoy infusing sweet herbal books with past issues of HRz for some slow paced learning when it's hot outside. To do this, I read a book with my kids and then we explore issues that correspond to the story. We pick and choose activities based on what we have available and what they are most interested in. I've listed a few books and ideas to get you started on this fun activity.
This lovely illustrated book was written about herbalist Mary Blue, inspired by her opening her garden to the public. A great picture book for the younger kids, this book covers Calendula, Bee Balm/Bergamot, Rose, Rosemary, Valerian, Marshmallow, Yarrow, Comfrey, Lavender, Red Clover, Passionflower, Mullein, Chamomile, Spilanthes, Lemon Balm, Peppermint, Thyme, Nettles, Raspberry and Blueberry.
The Herbalist of Yarrow by Shatoiya de la Tour
This wonderful story weaves a tale of a little girl who talks to the plants and uses them for good. Herbs in this story include: Angelica, Lemon Balm, Comfrey, Calendula, St. John's Wort, Nettles, Elder, Mullein, Borage, Chamomile, Plantain, Red Clover, Garlic, Onion, Thyme, Usnea, Rosemary, Sage, Dandelion, Mint, Oatstraw, Marshmallow, Orange, Ginger, Licorice, Cinnamon, Yarrow, Vanilla, Lavender, Rose and Chickweed.
Wildflower Tea by Ethel Pochocki
A gentleman harvests his herbs daily, drying them in his attic to make tea in the winter. The soft illustrations and gentle storyline make this book a perennial favorite. Perfect for a child who likes to blend their own herbal teas. Herbs mentioned are Apple, Blueberry, Plum, Cherry, Violet, Wild Thyme, Lemongrass, Rose, Edelweiss, Blackberry, Red Clover, Catnip, Yarrow, Mallow, Queen Anne's Lace, Michaelmas Daisy, Goldenrod and Mint.
Lessons from Mother Earth by Elaine McLeod
A grandmother teaches her grandchild about the importance of taking care of Mother Earth's garden. This is a great book to discuss the importance of sustainable harvesting and foraging as well as the appropriate time to harvest plants. There are fewer herbs listed but still a great treasure: Lamb's Quarters, Cranberries, Rosehips, Raspberries, Blueberries, Dandelion and Mushrooms.
Song of the Seven Herbs by Walking Night Bear & Stan Padilla
This book contains seven stories, each on a different herb, based on Native American lore. This would make a perfect book to focus on one different herb each week. Herbs are Stinging Nettles, Yarrow, Dandelion, Violet, Chicory, Rose and Sunflower.
Anna's Summer Songs by Mary Q Steele
Fourteen poems make up this book. Cute illustrations, a great starting point to focus on individual herbs. Iris, Fern, Strawberry, Forget-me-not, Cornflower, Honeysuckle, Oak, Buttercup, Poppy, Chives, Rose, Lavender, Apple and Rowan.
Yana Listens by Nina Judith Katz
Yana is a little girl who hears the voices of the plant world and discovers how useful the plants in her yard can be. Yana faces her neighbors who want to spray the neighborhood with herbicides. Will Yana be able to convince her neighbors to honor the weeds that grow? In this book, Yana visits many plants including Oak, Maple, Pine, Apple, Plantain, Dandelion, Purslane, Nettles, Yarrow and Burdock.
After choosing a book that most resonates with your child(ren), sit down and read the story with them. Decide on how many herbs you would like to learn about. Some children will want to learn snippets of each herb while others will want to go more in depth, maybe learning one herb a week.
For activities, songs, stories, recipes and more, select the corresponding issues of HRz. Each are linked here for your convenience. Download and print off a copy for each child. Preview each issue and decide on which activities you feel would be most appropriate. Older children will enjoy the entire issue while younger children typically enjoy the stories, songs and some of the crafts. Each issue also includes a resource page for watching videos and reading more about the herb.
You might also wish to download a free herbal profile template and print a copy for each plant you will be learning about. This is a great quick sheet to jot down everything about each plant.
Most of all, make it fun! Summer is about loose learning. By letting your child(ren) choose which plants they want to learn about and the activities they most enjoy, they will learn a lot about the plants that grow around them in a fun way.
Are you incorporating herbal learning into your summer fun? Which herbs have you chosen to learn about? Tell us in the comments!

The post [Herbal Rootlets]: No. 73 – Learning About Mugwort appeared first on .]]>
Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
and shared a conversation with the house fly in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets,
and joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow,
once I spoke the language of the flowers…
how did it go?
how did it go?
– Shel Silverstein
Mugwort is known by many names, sometimes dependent on the species, such as cronewort, moxa, sagebrush, white sage, silver sage, Saint John's herb and wombwort to name a few. Botanically, Common Mugwort is known as Artemesia vulgaris. There are many other species of mugwort that can be used, such as A. lactiflora, A. douglasiana, A. frigida, A. tridentata and A. ludeviciana. Her botanical genus name, Artemesia, was named after Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the mother of nature. Mugwort is a member of the Asteraceae family.
Let's explore Mugwort's energetics side. If you have her growing in your garden, pick a leaf for this experiment. Chew on a piece of the leaf, how does it taste? You probably want to spit it out, the taste is pungent and bitter. Does your mouth feel warm? Does chewing on a leaf leave your mouth feeling dry? Most herbalists describe Mugwort to be bitter, pungent, warming and drying.
Nutritionally, Mugwort contains vitamins A, C, K, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), and folate plus the minerals calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, silicon and zinc.
Mugwort contains many constituents such as tannins, resin, flavonoids, polysaccharides as well as the bitter principle absinthin, sesquiterpene lactones (vulgarin), sitosterol and several volatile oils (linalool, cineole, thujone, borneol, and pinene).
Medicinally, Mugwort is considered to be analgesic, anthelmintic, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antivenomous, aromatic, astringent, bitter, carminative, cholagogue, choleretic, diaphoretic, digestive, disinfectant, diuretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, hemostatic, nervine, oneirogen, purgative, stomachic, uterine stimulant, and a vermifuge. Let's take a closer look at how Mugwort is used…
Typically, Mugwort is harvested right before flowering. I prefer to harvest Mugwort leaves for infused vinegars (see recipe section of this month's issue for details) in the spring when she is only about 3-4 inches in height as this is the best time for harvesting Mugwort to be used as a food. For teas, oils and extracts, I harvest right before flowering. Mugwort is most often used as a tea, tincture, smudge or as moxa. The root of Mugwort has also been used medicinally.
One of my favorite uses for Mugwort is gut related. Mugwort is top notch for easing intestinal cramping due to bad digestion, food allergies and spastic colon. Rely on Mugwort's anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, aromatic, bitter, carminative, digestive and stomachic actions to soothe many digestive complaints. Those who suffer from diarrhea or constipation, cramping and spastic bowels may find relief using Mugwort. Along the same lines, her cholagogue and choleretic actions stimulate bile production, helping to purge it downward in through the liver and digestive system.
Mugwort is also a gentle anthelmintic and vermifuge, helping to expel parasites. Although not as strong as her sister Wormwood, A. absinthium, Mugwort can be quite effective in this aspect. I feed a handful of Mugwort to each of my goats every couple of weeks to keep the worms at bay.
Mugwort is traditionally used as a women's herb. As an emmenagogue and uterine stimulant, she can bring on delayed menses. As a hemostatic, she has the ability to arrest heavy menses. For heavy cramping, Mugwort's antispasmodic actions can soothe the uterine muscles, especially when cramping is at the beginning of a woman's menses.
As a diaphoretic, Mugwort was traditionally used to help sweat out a fever. Combined with her expectorant actions, Mugwort can be helpful for treating various respiratory illnesses, especially those with intermittent fevers. As an antibacterial, studies have shown Mugwort to be effective against several types of bacteria such as Bacillus dysenteriae shiga, B. subtilis, B. typhi, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, Staphococcus aureus and Streptococcus spp.
The root has traditionally been used for epilepsy and many types of seizures. It has been shown to reduce the number of seizures, sometimes reducing them altogether.
Matthew Wood describes Mugwort as being an herb specifically for those who are highly intelligent, gifted and artistic who can describe complex, abstract and difficult
concepts but not able to remember the most simple words or names. In his book Seven Herbs: Plants as Teachers, he relates that A. tridentata is specific for dyslexia and learning disabilities.
Mugwort is great for those who get caught up in the daydream world. For those who are easily distracted, often off in another world, and who may have trouble falling asleep because of it, Mugwort can be helpful.
As an oneirogen, Mugwort is often used as a dream herb. When you are taking Mugwort, your dreams are naturally stepped up. If you never remember dreams, you will with Mugwort! If you remember them, they will get more imaginative. Some people are able to control their dreams when taking Mugwort.
For the circulatory system, Mugwort is stimulating, especially for those who suffer from cold hands and feet. Applying an infused oil to the extremities can help to warm them up. Mugwort is also stimulating for cold stiffness, such as rheumatism.
The topical oil is also great for a variety of other ailments such as achy, torn or pulled muscles, ligaments, and tendons, cramps, cuts, infections, bumps, bruises, contusions, insect stings and nerve pain.
Externally, a strong infusion or vinegar of Mugwort is great for poison ivy rashes. She helps to dry the rash while reducing inflammation from the reaction and reducing the pain.
For those who are on opiates, Mugwort can be useful for those who have paralyzed nervous systems and can be a key component when coming off of them.
Historically, sprigs of Mugwort were placed in the shoes of travelers to keep their feet from becoming weary. Mugwort is soothing to tired and weary muscles and makes a great salve.
Mugwort is often made into bundles, just like her sister Sagebrush (A. tridentata) for smudging to purify the air. Not only can this clear the "energy" of a room but it can also clear the room of bacteria. This smudge can also be helpful in keeping insects away.
Mugwort is used in a unique way that other herbs are not, in the form of moxibustion or moxa. This is the use of specially prepared Mugwort (moxa) over pressure points of the body. There are two ways of using moxa, indirectly, by burning a stick of moxa above the pressure point and directly by placing the moxa on the body with the use of a barrier such as a slice of ginger or a layer of salt. Moxa is often indirectly used near the little toe of pregnant women to help turn a breech baby. Directly, salt is applied in a fine layer over the navel and a cone of moxa is burned for easing extreme diarrhea.
Moxibustion has been shown to effect biochemical changes in the body such as the increase of white blood cells, the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Moxa is generally used in combination with other therapies on a specific condition.
Those who are allergic to plants in the Asteraceae family should use with caution as they may be sensitive to Mugwort. A small percentage of people find Mugwort to cause contact dermatitis so it's always best to start out in small dosages to ensure this does not happen. Mugwort is a uterine stimulant and can bring on delayed menses. Because of this, women who are pregnant or may suspect they are should avoid using Mugwort. Breastfeeding women may also want to avoid Mugwort as they may find it to be too drying. Prolonged use of Mugwort may be harmful to the liver. Those with liver disease should not use Mugwort.
Do you use Mugwort? What is your favorite way to use it? Will you be planting Mugwort in your herb garden this year?

"There is no one way to become a healer: no particular age and no special way for medicine spirits to come. When the time is right, they come."
-Evelyn Wolfson, From the Earth to Beyond the Sky: Native American Medicine
In last week's newsletter, I mentioned dandelion and violet make great vinegars. Last summer, I wrote a newsletter all about how to make vinegars with kids. If you are new to Herbal Roots zine and to infusing vinegars, check out that newsletter for more information. Today, however, we are going to talk about the next step, what we can use those vinegars for.
101 ways to use vinegars
Okay, well I don't have that many uses but I imagine I could come pretty close if I really tried hard enough. Let's take a look at some of the more common ways to use them.
Combining vinegars with food
I like to follow Hippocrates lead when it comes to food and medicine. And since we all know an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, I try to incorporate herbs into our daily diet as much as possible. Herbal vinegars are a great way to add vitamins, minerals and medicinal qualities to our food. The following are some of my favorite ways to incorporate herbal vinegars into our daily diet.
Salad dressings – Make your own salad dressing with your own choice of infused vinegars combined with herbally infused oils
Seasoning for beans – Sprinkle your favorite flavored vinegar on beans for an extra kick. Cayenne, sage flower and blackberry leaf are a few of my favorites.
Topping for cooked greens – Try garlic infused vinegar or your favorite!
Seasoning for stir fry dishes – Match your vinegar to the vegetables you've cooked.
Soups – Some soups taste great with a dash of vinegar; for example, try a mint flavored vinegar with borscht.
Homemade mayonnaise – Making mayo? Add your own infused vinegar into the recipe for a special twist on the flavor.
Marinade for meats – Combine an infused vinegar such as bergamot, rosemary or thyme with an infused oil to use as a marinade.
Refreshing shrub drinks – Shrubs are a great break from sodas. There are many variations of shrubs, we have a recipe in our Blackberry issue.
Digestive tonic – Infuse with mugwort, wormwood, dandelion leaf and/or root, or chicory leaves and/or root
Mineral supplement – Infuse with mineral rich herbs such as raspberry or blackberry leaf, nettles, dandelion root, burdock root, chickweed, or mugwort
Household uses for vinegar
Household cleaner – Any herbs will work great for this task. This is a great way to use up your vinegars that are getting old. Vinegars are great for cleaning windows, stovetops, sinks, tiles, tubs, showers and floors. Vinegar can also freshen up clothes in the laundry. I like to combine my vinegar with a bit of baking soda to make a gentle scrub when cleaning appliances. For getting tough grease off the stove, I add a drop or two of dish soap to the mix. This blend is best mixed right before using as it will fizz.
Herbal vinegars for the body
Hair rinse – Infuse with chamomile (light hair), or rosemary (dark hair), or burdock seed (dry hair)
Facial cleanser and/or tonic – Infuse with rose, lavender, borage or calendula
Fungal control – Infuse with eucalyptus, peppermint and calendula
Sunburns – Infuse with Saint John's wort, rose, prunella, or lavender
Poison Ivy relief – Infuse with jewelweed, peach leaf, sweet fern or mugwort and horsetail
Fevers – Infuse with bergamot, catnip, goldenrod flowers, or peppermint
Sore throat gargle – Infuse with sage leaf or flower, garlic, prunella, bergamot or thyme
Liniment for aches and sprains – Infuse with prunella, yarrow, or comfrey
Anemia – Infuse with yellow dock root, ashwagandha, blackberry leaf and nettles
Deodorizer – Infuse with witch hazel, lavender or sage
As you can see, herbal vinegars are very versatile and useful around the home. Hopefully these ideas will get you started in using the herbal vinegars that you are making!
Do you use herbal vinegars? How do you incorporate them into your everyday living?

The post [Herbal Rootlets]: No. 71 – It's Spring, Make Some Violet Jelly! appeared first on .]]>
The child should learn to recognize and gather wild foods such as green salad herbs, berries and nuts of the hedgerows, and "fool-proof" mushrooms such as puffballs and orange chanterelles, though they should not be allowed to eat such foods until parents have passed them as safe. And they should learn to gather firewood and cut turf for the home fires.
– Juliette de Bairacli Levy
One of the best things about this time of year are all the blooming flowers! The yard is full of gorgeous violets, dandelions, tulips, jonquils and daffodils. Our favorite way to celebrate is to make jelly out of our dandelion flowers and violet flowers.
Normally I like to use raw sugar but when I make violet jelly, I sometimes will get a processed white sugar, just so the results will be spectacular. It really makes a beautifully colored jelly.
This is my oldest daughter's favorite jelly. So much so that she will gladly pick the flowers all day long to have enough for the recipe. She has recently taken over making it herself and even taught a friend how to make it.
The recipe is basically the same for both, all you need are some volunteers to pick a bunch of violet or dandelion flowers. If you are using the dandelion flowers, be sure to remove the green sepals or the jelly will have a bit of bitterness to it.
4 cups freshly picked violet flowers (remove the stems)
4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup lemon juice (approx 2 lemons)
1 package liquid pectin
8 cups sugar
Also gather:
1/2 gallon jar w/lid
9 – 10 jelly jars
Canning pot
Hot pads
Place the violets in a 1/2 gallon jar. Cover with boiling water and let steep for 12 hours (up to 24 hours) in the fridge. Check out the color of the water! It's a bluey-green color, so pretty. It's going to change though!!
When the violets are done steeping, make sure you have sterilized jelly jars ready to go. This recipe will make about 8 or 9 jelly jars worth of jelly. Place the lids in a pot of hot water and cover.
Strain off the violets and place the liquid in a stock pot. Add the lemon juice. Wow! The color changes instantly to violet. Pretty neat, isn't it?! Ask mom and dad to talk about chemical reactions with you!
Add the pectin and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the sugar and boil vigorously for 3 minutes, skimming as needed.
Pour into jelly jars (also known as half pint jars). Wipe off the rims and place hot lids on top. Inverting them (turning them upside down) can help them to seal quicker. Leave them inverted for at least 7 minutes.
Now, it's time to enjoy them on some fresh homemade bread!
Violet and dandelion jelly is just one way to enjoy these delightful spring flowers. Both herbs have lots of medicinal uses and each can be eaten raw in salads. Try making violet or dandelion leaf vinegar. Simply add some leaves to a jar, fill with apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 2 weeks. The vinegar will extract the vitamins and minerals and can be used any way you use apple cider vinegar in cooking. Next week's newsletter will give you some great ideas on how to use infused vinegars!
If you want to learn more about violet and/or dandelion, check out our back issues of each.
Do you use violet and dandelion flowers or greens in your daily meals? What's your favorite way to use them?

The post [Herbal Rootlets]: No. 70 – Eleuthero: King of Adaptogens appeared first on .]]>
"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
An eternity in an hour."
– William Blake
Known as Siberian Ginseng in some parts of the world, Eleuthero has a long history of use as medicine. In the United States, it is illegal to refer to Eleuthero as Siberian Ginseng in commerce as the name Ginseng is used for plants in the Panax genus. Eleuthero is often referred to as the "King of Adaptogens". We'll discuss more on that later.
Energetically, Eleuthero is said to be bitter, acrid and warming in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Matt Wood describes Eleuthero as slightly sweet. How would you describe Eleuthero's taste? Experiment with a bit of dried root. Traditionally the root bark is used but the leaves also contain medicinal properties.
Nutritionally, Eleuthero contains crude and dietary fiber, fat, protein as well as calcium, chromium, cobalt, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin (B3), phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin (B2), selenium, silicon, thiamine (B1), vitamins A and C and zinc. He also contains the macronutrient, Choline, an important nutrient for liver function, normal brain development, nerve function, muscle movement, supporting energy levels and maintaining a healthy metabolism. Choline is an important nutrient that helps the brain in learning and memory detention. Eleuthero contains sterols, coumarins, flavonoids and polysaccharides.
Medicinally, Eleuthero is said to be adaptogenic, antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiseptic, antiviral, bitter, chemoprotective, ergogenic, hypoglycemic, immunomodulating, insulinotrophic, neuroprotective, radioprotective, restorative and tonic. Let's take a closer look at how we can use Eleuthero…
Eleuthero is best known for his adaptogen capabilities and given his title of the "king of adaptogens", there is probably good reason for this. From Donald Yance's book, "Adaptogens in Medical Herbalism", "Eleuthero protects the body and enhances its various systems against the ill effects of any type of stress…Eleuthero demonstrates favorable effects on favors human functions as well, including visual acuity, color differentiation, hearing, fatiguability and thinking in association with motor activity. More so than any other adaptogenic agent it displays a normalizing effect regardless of physiological abnormalities…decreases adrenal hypertrophy and spares the loss of vitamin C from the adrenal glands."
He is also supportive of lowering LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reducing hypertension and relieving angina, especially when stress induced. His is best combined with Motherwort for best results.
As an immunomodulator, Eleuthero helps to strengthen the immune system over time to reduce the chance of catching a cold or other common infectious disease.
Athletes have used the power of Eleuthero's ergogenic action to increase endurance and stamina which enhanced their performance. It is often combined with Schisandra, Rhodiola or Cordyceps to improve cognitive function and alertness, especially when under severe stress, making this combination good for supporting students and practitioners who put in long working hours with little sleep (though this should not be used as a long term solution). At the same time, as a circulatory stimulant, Eleuthero can help to improve learning and memory function. Many Soviet athletes, cosmonauts, pilots, miners, train operators and factory workers have relied on Eleuthero's actions to increase their stamina and endurance.
Diabetics may benefit form Eleuthero's hypoglycemic and insulinotrophic actions, helping the body to restore and nourish the production and activity of insulin and is especially supportive while the diabetic works on their diet and lifestyle to help manage their glucose levels.
Eleuthero is also neuroprotective, supporting and protecting the nervous system while nourishing it.
For those undergoing chemo or radiation, Eleuthero's chemoprotective and radioprotective actions will protect their body from decreased white blood cell counts and bone marrow suppression while inhibiting metastasis and cancer reoccurrence. After Chernobyl, Eleuthero was used to counteract the effects of radiation for many citizens. Eleuthero also protects the liver and enhances its ability to break down and eliminate chemicals and drugs from the body and stimulates protein synthesis in the liver, pancreas and adrenal cortex. He is great for protecting the body from environmental pollutants as well.
As an antioxidant, Eleuthero further protects the body from free radicals.
For those who enjoy spending time outdoors regardless of the weather, Eleuthero is good to have on hand in case of hypothermia as he can help to normalize body temperature.
Though generally considered safe, Eleuthero can cause overstimulation in sensitive people so those who are sensitive to stimulates should use with caution as he may cause jitters, rapid heart beat and headaches. Eleuthero may react with digoxin so anyone taking it should not taken Eleuthero. Eleuthero has been shown to enhance the effectiveness of mycin-class antibiotics.

The post [Herbal Rootlets]: No. 69 – Trees of Spring appeared first on .]]>
The spring came suddenly, bursting upon the world as a child bursts into a room, with a laugh and a shout and hands full of flowers.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I just love this time of year! To celebrate Spring's arrival, all back issues of Herbal Roots zine are 40% off!
I just love this time of year! (I can't say it enough). The peepers are peeping, the grass is greening and the trees are blooming! Last year I wrote about herbs that grow from the ground and I thought it would be appropriate for us to look up and appreciate the medicinal trees that grow all around us.
Trees are often overlooked for their medicinal value. Though they are often grand, providing us with shade in the summer, privacy from our neighbors and branches to hang swings from, we often forget that trees can provide us with health as well. Have you ever hugged a tree? I highly recommend it. Though hugging a tree is often waved off as being dippy hippy, science has proven the power of hugging a tree. You may have noticed that after your kids come inside from playing in the backyard, they seem calmer. And while a lot of that expended energy comes from the natural play of childhood, the vibrations of trees can help children to function better mentally and physically.
Today we are going to take a virtual tree walk and talk about some of my favorite trees of Spring.
Witch Hazel
This beauty starts blooming in late winter and depending on your region may already be done blooming but I still like to include her into the mix. Most people are familiar with Witch Hazel as she is commonly sold in drug stores as an astringent. Have you ever used Witch Hazel to clean your face? As a deodorant, Witch Hazel is also useful to freshen up when you don't have access to a shower and can clean odors from your hands as well. Witch Hazel can also be applied to your body before working out to help keep you from straining your muscles. Forgot to rub it on pre-workout? Apply Witch Hazel afterwards to soothe tired and aching muscles. This antispasmodic is great for menstrual cramps as well, simply soak a cloth, apply it to your stomach and cover with a hot water bottle. There are so many uses for Witch Hazel, she's a worthy tree to plant in your yard!
Want to learn more about Witch Hazel? Check out the issue here.
This tree can seem intimidating with his thorns but once you learn about Hawthorn, you will realize the message is one of your protection. Hawthorn is for the heart, both physical and emotional. When working with someone who has heart issues, whether it's a weak physical heart or a grieving emotional heart, Hawthorn knows how to protect and soothe. Hawthorn also strengthens and protects the joint lining, collagen and discs in the back, making the extract useful during chiropractic adjustments. Hawthorn also helps with poor digestion, diarrhea and more.

I just love the bright pink blooms of Peach! This glorious Spring bloom is starting to open in my neck of the woods, swiftly chasing Plum's blooms down in the orchard. A member of the Rose family, this tree is one of my constant go to's for everyday ailments. The flowers, leaves and twigs can all be harvested to make a sweet, cooling and moistening extract that can be used as an anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, demulcent diuretic that is great for soothing digestive complaints, respiratory complaints and more. I love to use Peach for insect stings, taking the extract internally while applying a compress of it directly to the sting. Peach instantly soothes the sting, reduces swelling and overall reduces the length of time it takes to recover. For spasmodic coughs, Peach is wonderful and has been used for pertussis, bronchitis and dry, tickling coughs that are not productive.
Want to learn more about Peach? Check out the issue here.
Aah, Apple! Blooming shortly after Peach, Apple is another member of the Rose family. Again I like to harvest the flowers, leaves and twigs for making a delicious extract. Adding a bit of honey makes a delicious elixir that's easy to take for soothing fevers, digestive complaints, diarrhea and more. Similar to Rose, I like Apple for soothing matters of the heart. Infusions from the leaves may be useful as an eye wash for glaucoma and cataracts.

Wild Cherry
This is one of the first trees I discovered blooming on my farm when we moved there. I was (and still am) enamored by the blooms that spilled from the branches. From the almond scented bark to the delicate white flowers to the tart berries, Wild Cherry is a favorite for treating spasmodic coughs, anxiety and some digestive complaints. Wild Cherry's bark is most appropriate for hot coughs that may be productive or not. Wild Cherry works great for treating heart palpitations, especially when combined with anxiety, as well as restlessness and tension headaches. Wild Cherry is appropriate for conditions that are hot and red. Typically the inner bark or twigs are used but the flowers, leaves and berries can be used as well. Leaves should be looked over carefully, discarding any wilted, fermented or rotten parts as the entire tree contains a cyanide-like glycoside. While this may seem frightening, Wild Cherry is safe as long as you use only healthy parts of the tree and avoid chewing the seeds, similar to the recommendations for eating apples.

The post [Herbal Rootlets]: No. 68 – The Meanings Behind the Names appeared first on .]]>
Officinale….officinalis….vulgaris….purpurea….canadensis….nigra….have you ever wondered about the meanings behind the botanical names? Often a mix of Latin, Greek and other languages, what is the purpose of such strange names?
Botanical names, known also as scientific names and Latin names, are a binomial naming system that was developed by Swedish naturalist, Carl Linnaeus in the 1700's. In his observations of plants, he discovered a natural order to the flowers, leaves and fruits of many plants and started to group them accordingly. He gave them a 'first' and 'last' name, similar to our names; however, in botanical nomenclature, they are switched around. The botanical last name is known as the genus and the botanical first name is known as the species.
Genus names are always capitalized while species names are always lower case. An example of this would be Echinacea purpurea.
Often there may be several types of the same plant and we differentiate them by their species names. For example, there are several species of Echinacea including purpurea, angustifolia, paradoxa and pallida. When listing species names, it is proper to list the genus name first, i.e., Echinacea purpurea. However, if listing several in a row as I just did, instead of repeating the genus name each time, it is acceptable to abbreviate the genus with the first letter like this:
Echinacea purpurea, E. angustifolia, E. paradoxa and E. pallida after you have written out the genus name for the first species.
Whether you are new to herbalism or you've been studying it for awhile, you may wonder why we bother with using the botanical names. It's hard enough remembering common names, even when they are easy to say such as "purple coneflower" as a generic name for Echinacea spp.
There are a few reasons why it's important to learn the botanical names. One is that there may be several different species of a plant that share a genus name. Sometimes they are interchangeable such as the species of Echinacea but sometimes, they may have different uses, or only one plant may be used medicinally such as Raspberry (Rubus idaeus, R. occidentalis) and Blackberry (Rubus villosus, R. fruticosus). While both Red Raspberry and Blackberry are used medicinally, they have different uses. Another example is Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) and Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare). While T. parthenium is a commonly used, safe medicinal herb, T. vulgare is stronger and can be quite purgative when used in medium to large doses.
Another reason is that more than one plant may be known by the same common name. Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is also commonly called Motherwort and Mayweed, the common name of two other herbs: Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) and Mayweed (Anthemis cotula). Common names may also vary region by region, making it hard for outsiders to understand the plants being referred to.
It's easy to see why it's important and useful to learn botanical names but sometimes the names are so crazy, it's hard to remember them. Fortunately, a lot of species names are named after a characteristic of the plant such as the location the plant is native to, if it was a traditional plant found in pharmacopeias, plant coloration or the way the plant grows.
Traditionally used plants
Plants that were commonly used or listed in pharmacopeias often had species names such as:
officinale / officinalis – official plant listed in pharmacopeias
Examples: Rosmarinus officinalis, Taraxacum officinale
vulgare / vulgaris – common
Examples: Thymus vulgare, Prunella vulgaris
Plants named by region
Often plants were named by the region they were located in such as:
americana – America, canadensis – Canada / chinensis – China / japonica – Japan / montana – Montana / occidentalis – Western North America / sylvestris – Woodland / virginiana – Virginia
Examples: Phytolacca americana, Solidago canadensis, Rosa chinensis, Lonicera japonica, Arnica montana, Rubus occidentalis, Malva sylvestris, Juniperus virginiana
Plants named by color
Sometimes plants were named because of their coloration, whether it be colorations in their stems, flowers or fruits such as:
alba – white / incana – grey / nigra – black / purpurea – purple / rubra – red
Examples: Salix alba, Scutellaria incana, Sambucus nigra, Echinacea purpurea, Ulmus rubra
Plants named by their growth habit or shape
Sometimes a description of their shape or growth habit gave plants their species names such as:
angustifolia – narrow-leaved / annua – annual / biennis – biennial / fructicosa/fruticosus – shrubby / glabra – smooth / lanceolata – lance-shaped leaves / reptans – creeping
Examples: Lavandula angustifolia, Artemisia annua, Oenothera biennis, Rubus fruticosus, Rhus glabra, Plantago lanceolata, Ajuga reptans

The post [Herbal Rootlets]: No. 67 – Learning About Forsythia appeared first on .]]>
"Can we teach children to look at a flower and see all the things it represents: beauty, the health of an ecosystem, and the potential for healing?"
-Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lian Qiao, Forsythia suspensa is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in TCM. Forsythia suspensa is commonly grown in landscapes as is Forsythia x intermedia. Here in North America, we recognize Forsythia as a harbinger of spring, his bright yellow flowers blooming early before setting leaves on his branches.
Energetically, Forsythia is said to be bitter, and cooling. You can test this by chewing on a dried fruit. The bitterness can be slow to notice, increasing in bitterness as you chew. I find him to also be a bit drying.
Nutritionally, the fruits contain vitamin P. Vitamin P fortifies the capillaries. They also contain lignans, also known as polyphenols, such as forsythin, phillygenin, pinoresinol, and pinoresinol-β-D-glucoside, the flavonoid rutin, and triterpenoids such as betulinic acid, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, β-amyrin acetate, and isobauerenyl acetate.
Medicinally, Forsythia is said to be antibacterial, antiemetic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antipyretic, antitussive, antiviral, astringent, choleretic, diaphoretic, diuretic, emmenagogue, febrifuge, hepatoprotective, immunostimulant and laxative. Traditionally the fruit is used, either dried when green or after the seeds have dispersed. The flowers and leaves are also used. Lets take a look at Forsythia's medicinal uses…
Forsythia is used primarily for clearing heat and eliminating toxins in Chinese medicine. He is often combined with Honeysuckle for treating colds and influenza. He is commonly used for viruses causing upper respiratory tract infections, acute bronchitis, tonsillitis, encephalitis B, meningitis, mumps and parotitis, especially when they are presented with a sore throat, cough and fever. Dr. James Duke likes to mix Forsythia with other antivirals such as Honeysuckle and Lemon Balm for best results. As an anti-inflammatory, Forsythia helps to reduce inflammation in the bronchial passages during illnesses. Taken at the first sign of an illness, Forsythia will stimulate the immune system to help fight off illnesses.
Forsythia's diaphoretic, febrifuge and antipyretic actions help with reducing fever while his antitussive action suppresses coughs.
As an antibacterial, Forsythia has been shown to inhibit many types of bacteria, including Bacillus typhi, Hemolytic streptococcus, Moraxella catarrhalis, Mycobacterium tuberculi, Pneumonococcus spp., Shigella dysenteriae, Staphylococcus aureus and S. hemolyticus. He is listed by many as a broad spectrum antimicrobial.
For those suffering from acne, Forsythia has shown to be effective in inhibiting the secretion of the sebaceous glands, helping to improve oily skin to lower the incidences of acne caused by oily skin. An an anti-inflammatory, Forsythia can also help to decrease inflammation with acne while his antibacterial action helps to inhibit bacterial growth.
Forsythia has hepatoprotective actions and may be useful in protecting the liver from hepatotoxins. His choleretic action increases the volume of bile produced by the liver.
As a laxative, a tea can be useful for combatting constipation.
Externally, Forsythia is used to treat boils, carbuncles and scrofula as well as inflammation and is often combined with Violet, Honeysuckle and Dandelion.
Forsythia has not been studied for use with pregnant or breastfeeding women but would best be avoided as he is an emmenagogue and may induce premature labor.

"Children the world over have a right to a childhood filled with beauty, joy, adventure, and companionship. They will grow toward ecological literacy if the soil they are nurtured in is rich with experience, love, and good examples."
– Alan Dyer, "A Sense of Adventure"
A day for love, expressed through silly love notes and cacao, what could be better?! It's the perfect day for herbalists to shine with something they are passionate about, the plants.
While we are not big on buying commercial chocolates in our house, we always enjoy making a meal with as much chocolate as possible: Chocolate barbecued chicken or Cacao encrusted pork tenderloin, Acorn or butternut squash seasoned with cocoa and other warming herbs, and a flourless chipotle chocolate cake or Pavlovas with fresh fruit and chocolate sauce for dessert. This year, I plan to add a salad, based on one I found online, a spinach pear salad with a chocolate vinaigrette.
I always enjoy finding a way to incorporate herbs into our daily food and Valentine's day is no exception!
Kids will get a kick out of eating chocolate for dinner, and especially when they can tell their friends it's good for them too. With the exception of the dessert, there is almost no added sugar, only the flavor of cacao combined with spices and savory foods.
Here are a few recipes to get you started:
Cacao Spice Butternut Squash
1 large butternut squash (Acorn can be substituted if you prefer)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
2 teaspoons cacao* or cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon*
1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt*
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger*
1/4 t. ground ancho chili powder*
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Slice your butternut squash in half lengthwise, remove the seeds (we like to roast them, see below) and brush the squash with olive oil.
Place the squash facedown on a baking stone or cookie sheet and bake for about 40 minutes or until tender. Larger squashes may take longer.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Scoop out the flesh and mash in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until combined.
Roasted Squash Seeds
(Great for salads or eating as is!)
Seeds from your squash
2 teaspoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt*
1/4 teaspoon cacao*
1/4 teaspoon garlic*
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon*
1 pinch chipotle*
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
Wash your seeds and pat dry on a towel.
Place on a cookie sheet and toss with the ingredients and roast for 45 minutes, stirring a few times during the cooking time.
Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.
Spinach Pear Salad
1 package of fresh organic baby spinach (or mixed greens)
1 large pear, sliced into small bite sized pieces
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons roasted squash seeds or sliced almonds
1/4 cup gorgonzola or stilton cheese
For the dressing:
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon raw honey
1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt*
1/8 teaspoon black pepper*
3 tablespoons cacao* powder
1 tablespoon butter
In a saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the cocoa powder. Turn off heat and whisk together the dressing ingredients. Set aside.
Toss the salad ingredients and drizzle with the dressing.
*If you are needing a source for fresh herbs and spices, check out Mountain Rose Herbs! It's my favorite online shop for fair trade, non-gmo, organic and wildcrafted herbs.
Kids love a unique twist on food. Adding chocolate to their food is a tradition that they will want to repeat year after year.
They're Back!
These past few weeks, I have gotten lots of emails asking if I would be offering my free valentines again this year. My answer was absolutely! I had so much fun making them last year that I decided to make a whole new batch this year so you have double the choices this year.
So, why not print off some of my silly valentines, head off into the kitchen and cook up a delicious Valentine's meal while filling out cards for all your friends and family!
For more in depth learning about the herbs we used this holiday season, check out their individual issues: Cacao, Ginger, Cayenne, Garlic, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Vanilla and Raspberry.
Do you have any traditions for your family for Valentine's Day?
P.S. Don't forget the Valentines:
2015 contains Mullein, Violet, Rose, Dandelion, Pine, Aloe, Thyme, Willow, Horseradish and Usnea
2016 contains Reishi, Nutmeg, Butternut Squash, Plantain, Yarrow, Peach, Passionflower and Elderberry
P. P. S. Learning Herbs is offering a FREE webinar tomorrow, Stop a Cold from Taking Hold! Given that this is that time of the year when we are all starting to feel rundown from the effects of winter, it's perfect timing!

I think students can do anything as an exercise, they have the freedom of working with any brand like they just want to. Besides no client is going to get in the creative process, this doesn`t apply for real advertising.
students need to try and do work that could run (if they want to get hired). It's not hard to write a funny ad that could never run. It's harder to write a funny/clever ad that could run.
I agree with quinton. If you want to be a pro –– play by the pro rules. Get two feet inbounds! Come up with something great that a client would actually run. Air disasters would never fly. (pun intended)

One last thing. If you do ever meet them, prepare to be amazed at the way you will communicate. The language is multiversal. It's called telepathy.
You think and send. We all emit a personal frequency, I compare it to an encrypted cellular phone, otherwise we would hear everyone talking and thinking at once.
Anyway, you are a living transmitter and receiver.
I believe language on earth (along with a few other man-made things) was created to weaken your transmitter and receiver power. In a way to keep you from using it.
You're able to transmit as good as those satellites that are now at the edge of our solar system and transmitting back to earth still. Your transmissions need to however be directed or focused upon your receiver.
Hope this helps.
Anonymous Coward 25374084
Very true. It takes a little getting use to telepathy. I felt so retarded the first time they tried to communicate with me because my mind was trying to filter what they were saying into our words. It sounded like gobbledigook. When I stopped 'trying' and just let it flow through me, I finally could understand.

Last August the Battistoni Diesel MUNY AAA baseball team from Western New York won the National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF) World Series. With the unprecedented victory the Diesel earned an automatic berth in this year's tournament.
The boys will head back to Battle Creek, MI early next week to defend their title. We will have more coverage in the coming days.
Here is a recent Press Release from the tournament directors:
NABF World Series Returns to Battle Creek August 3-7
Battle Creek, MI- Bailey Park Complex August 3-7, 2016
The National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF) Charles Blackburn Major Division World Series returns to Bailey Park August 3rd through the 7th. The 103rd World Series will see twelve of the best amateur teams in the United States battle for the title over the 5-day, 25 game contest. This year's contest includes teams from New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland and Michigan, including Battle Creek's City Champion and host team, HBC-Behnke. NABF World Series teams are comprised of established college players with a sprinkling of former professional athletes, making for a high-caliber competition.
In recognition of the hard-work in hosting, and the economic impact for the City that the NABF World Series has, Mayor David A. Walters, has proclaimed August 3-7, 2016 "National Amateur Baseball Week" in the City of Battle Creek, and has further named the Manager and Members of the Buffalo, NY Battistoni Diesel, the 2015 Champions, honorary citizens of the City. To celebrate this proclamation, Mayor Walters will be on-hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on opening night of the World Series, prior to the 7:00 pm game between the Diesel and Battle Creek HBC-Behnke.
In addition to the City's proclamation, the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners has issued their own proclamation proclaiming August 3-7, 2016 Charles M. Blackburn Jr. Week to thank Mr. Blackburn for his contributions to amateur baseball in Calhoun County. Charles Blackburn is the Executive Director of the NABF, who has served the organization for over 50 years. County Commissioner Derek King will be on hand to present the proclamation and participate in the first-pitch ceremony.
Every game of the 103rd World Series will be streamed live on the internet via GameAction360. You can find a link to stream the games on the World Series homepage at www.battlecreekworldseries.com or on the NABF World Series Facebook page.
This year the NABF World Series will play host to Senior Day at the Park on Friday, August 5th. Senior Day will include free admission for all Seniors' and their Caretakers, as well as giveaways, vendors and lunch for up to the first 500 people. Gates will open at 10:30 am. Senior Day is made possible through a variety of local sponsors.
To add some fun to our fans experience, we have added Baseball Bingo. Each evening of the competition fans that participate will have an opportunity to win up to $200 in prizes.
The 103rd NABF Major Division World Series will be played Wednesday through Sunday, August 3rd -7th. The entry fee for the entire tournament is $5, and is good for all 25 games on three fields. Children 10 and under are free.
Recognized as the amateur baseball capital of the United States, Battle Creek has a storied history when it comes to America's pastime. The City first hosted an Amateur Adult Baseball World Series in 1937, affiliated with the American Baseball Congress (ABC) founded by C.O. Brown. The World Series remained in Battle Creek until 2004. As a result of these amateur baseball tournaments, Battle Creek has seen many famous faces roll through town, including the likes of Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz, and many others.
It is estimated that the World Series has an economic impact of over $125,000 for the city of Battle Creek. The Bailey Park Complex holds over 30 tournaments each year, with an economic impact of 10 million dollars.
The NABF World Series is joint venture of the Battle Creek Parks and Rec Department and the Southern Michigan Amateur Baseball Associate (SMABA), a non-profit organization created by community members to facilitate the ongoing support of amateur baseball in Battle Creek, Michigan.
