About a week ago, I saw some adorable cinnamon stick tree ornaments made with fabric scraps on the Cosmo Cricket blog. (Click here to see them.) Since I have a huge vase of cinnamon sticks just waiting to be turned into a fabulous craft, I decided to make my own version of these trees.
I started by gathering cinnamon sticks, green fabric, a chipboard star, yellow paint, yellow Stickles, and some twine.
I started by gathering cinnamon sticks, green fabric, a chipboard star, yellow paint, yellow Stickles, and some twine.
My first step was cutting the cinnamon sticks to a reasonable length. Mine were about a foot long, so I wanted to cut them in half to make two 6-inch tree trunks. Through trial and error, I learned that using pruning shears shattered the cinnamon rather than making a clean cut. The best method was to use a hacksaw. Because my cinnamon wasn't fresh, it had lost most of its smell. I gently sanded it with fine-grit sandpaper, which made it smell heavenly.
I painted the star yellow and let that dry. Then I added Stickles over the top of that and set it aside. Next, I cut five strips of fabric approximately 3/4 inch wide and 8 inches long. (I didn't measure.) I tied the fabric strips to the cinnamon stick, making sure the right sides faced front.
Here's what it looked like when all the strips were attached. (Notice how uneven the strips are. Like I said, I didn't measure.)
I used the scissors to cut a diagonal line to form the shape of the tree.
I attached the star and a hanger using hot glue. Here's the finished ornament, which smells even better than it looks.
I'm strongly considering having Trevor make a bunch of these for family members. For any family members reading this... if you get a cinnamon stick tree for Christmas from us, act surprised. OK?

Point of View
The novel is written in what appears to be a simple third person point of view from the beginning. However, as the reader moves deeper into the novel and the point of view begins shifting quickly from character to character, the reader comes to understand that the novel is being told in a modified authorial voice with third person omniscient elements. The point of view of this novel is from the point of view of an outside story teller telling a story through the eyes of many different characters.
The point of view of this novel can be confusing for the reader at times. The author moves so quickly from character to character that sometimes the reader has to skip ahead a few lines to figure out whose mind the reader is in at that point in the story. At other times, the point of view...

Invitation from IWA and the University of Coimbra, Portugal
Study the past, prior to design something for the future
Confucius (551–479 BC)
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 4th IWA International Symposium on Water and Wastewater Technologies in Ancient Civilizations (WWAC). This event will take place from 17 to 19 of September 2016 at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, which recently was classified by UNESCO as World Heritage.
The Symposium is dedicated to themes relevant to ancient, traditional and cultural technologies of water and wastewater globally, since the prehistoric era. This unique event aims to promote interactions, to motivate discussions and to encourage collaborations among the global community on water, wastewater and stormwater management. Information about ancient technologies of water and sanitation in various civilizations, which enhance durable engineering practices and water management, are crucial to develop present and future technologies.
This Symposium will bring together research scientists, historians, archaeologists, and engineers from academic institutions and industries around the world. It will present the major achievements in several scientific fields of water and sanitation technologies and management throughout the millennia. In addition, it will provide valuable insights into those technologies with their apparent characteristics of durability, adaptability to the environment, and sustainability. These technologies are the underpinning of modern achievements in water, wastewater and stormwater management practices.
We strongly believe that you will enjoy the Symposium and that your participation will contribute to your professional enhancement.
We are looking forward seeing you all in Coimbra next year for identifying what we could learn from the past and to prove that the past is the key for the future.
Specialist Group on WWAC

Sadhu Videhi is an Indian sannyasi: a wandering monk. He surrendered a successful professional career as a clinical psychologist, renounced everything and carrying a shoulder bag, two spare pieces of cloth and a begging bowl, walked away from home at the age of 40.
He took the name of Sadhu, the Hindu name for a renunciate (although he would not call himself a Hindu) and took the name Videhi meaning "no body" as a reminder that we are not the body. He was barefoot and trusting in the love of God and inspired by the example of his guru Jesus, and the Hindu tradition of sannyasi, he stepped into a whole new experience.
Coming from a wealthy family he had never walked barefoot, slept rough or been short of money, but he says he has never regretted his decision, even for a minute, and has rarely been hungry. He acknowledges the first year was very difficult - he had a huge ego and begging for food was very challenging, particularly when he was refused with a gesture of dismissal. As a sannyasi he could only beg for food five times a day so if five people refused him he would eat nothing that day. He was also required to stay no longer than three nights in any one place.
Throughout his life Sadhu had been a seeker, studying different faiths and practising meditation and yoga. He determined while wandering to experience for himself the richness of all religions by living with people of different faiths, coming to understand and know the truth at the heart of all traditions.
Now, after twelve years of wandering, having completed his "training" as a sannyasi, Sadhu Videhi is eager to establish a totally inclusive, interfaith ashram in India, Sarwa Dharma Ashram (Sarwa meaning "all" and dharma meaning "teachings") where he can share his wisdom, knowledge, compassion and love with his students. It will be an ashram for spiritual seekers of all faiths and will focus on the teaching of meditation and Indian spirituality.
Yesterday it was a privilege to meet him at a small gathering at a friend's house, overlooking her radiantly beautiful garden. He had been invited to England by another acquaintance, who it was a pleasure to see after a significant lapse of time. Sadhu is giving a series of talks and retreats both here and in Germany.
It was a wonderful occasion. He talked with great simplicity and intelligence of who we are and why we might meditate and took us through a simple, beautifully structured introduction to Insight meditation. He was one of those people who radiated a real, and hard won, calm, that you felt sat on a real depth of understanding and compassion.
It is a long time since I had meditated in a group, and had forgotten how it can deepen your own stillness into silence, as you quietly observed your breath and the arising and passing away of thought.
The accompanying picture is of the memorial at Saccidananda Ashram to Fathers Monchanin and Griffiths. It is near Shantivanam that Sadhu Videhi presently lives, and in whose path he sits, though he has radicalized it by making it universalist. May his endeavours be blessed and Sarwa Dharma Ashram come to pass.

2010: "The Meantime"
2013: "The Bright Spots"
When he entered the studio last year to work on his latest album, "The Bright Spots," Randall Bramblett took a page from Frankie Goes to Hollywood and relaxed.
Bramblett, an Athens, Ga.-based blues/soul multi-instrumentalist, said he has a tendency to become obsessive during the recording process. For his ninth studio release, "The Bright Spots," however, he made a conscious effort to get out of his own way.
"It can get pretty microscopic sometimes, trying to figure out how to record a song," he explained during a recent phone interview. "This time, we didn't really overthink it too much. The songs just fell together."
After several consecutive self-produced efforts, Bramblett decided to experiment with funding "The Bright Spots" through a Kickstarter campaign, which successfully raised $30,000 in five weeks.
Although it later attracted the attention of New West Record and will officially be released in May, Bramblett said he has been selling the album at shows and playing the material from the record in his sets for months now.
As a result of letting the music happen instead of forcing it to take shape, Bramblett produced an album that Creative Loafing described as "arguably his finest in a catalog of classy, soulful, Southern singer/songwriter efforts."
Tonight, April 25, he'll pull material from "The Bright Spots" and the rest of his catalog when he performs a solo show at the Folk School of Chattanooga. Bramblett is known for his versatility, switching between saxophone, mandolin, harmonica, keys and guitar during his sets, but tonight he'll stick primarily to the latter two instruments.
Bramblett is perhaps best known as a solo artist, but he has been a fixture in Southern music since the 1970s, when he was a member of jazz fusion group Sea Level and, later, of Traffic. He also has collaborated with marquee artists such as Gregg Allman, Steve Winwood and The Band's Robbie Robertson.
Although these songs have been in his sets for some time now, Bramblett said he is feeling a resurgence of enthusiasm leading up to the official release of "The Bright Spots."
"You get tired of doing the same old things," he said. "Playing new songs and seeing people's responses is a real energy booster. For the band, playing these new songs has been a lot of fun."
Chattanooga Times Free Press entertainment reporter Casey Phillips spoke with Georgian soul/R&B singer/songwriter Randall Bramblett about why he took a more relaxed approach to recording his latest album, the role of meditation in his creative process and his love of Howlin' Wolf.
CP: Your new album, "The Bright Spots," is coming out in May. How do you feel about it? Are you happy with how it turned out?
RB: Totally. We didn't agonize about it too much. We did part of it in Nashville, and we just had fun with it. They came up with some great stuff. We did five songs up there and brought all that back to our producer's studio in Lawrenceville. He put drums on everything, and we recorded seven more songs at his house. We just had a good time doing it. It didn't take as long as some of my other ones. It came out great. It has a cutting edge sound and some unusual stuff and good songwriting. All of it was fun. It just feels good. It felt good putting it down, it feels pretty hearing it back and it's fun to play it.
CP: Agonize is a pretty strong verb to describe your creative process. In what sense do you mean that, in terms of recording?
RB: It doesn't take us years, but sometimes, we struggle with songs - how to record them or what the song really needs. I bring in demos, and we sometimes have to try and reconstruct some of that. It can get pretty microscopic sometimes, trying to figure out how to record a song. This time, we just didn't really overthink it too much. We don't totally agonize about songs, but they sometimes take longer to figure out what the song really needs. This time, the songs just fell together.
CP: What do you attribute that to?
RB: I think the songs kind of play themselves and inspire me. First of all, we have a lot of great players who have great ideas. That, and the songs have inspired me. They were just good songs and everyone jumped right in and got inspired by them. If you don't have a good song, it's hard to come up with good stuff on it that makes sense because the song isn't good enough. These songs were fun and rocking, and people came up with some great stuff. Having good players and engineers makes a huge difference, too, because all the sudden, you're hearing the songs in a new way, which inspires everyone, too.
CP: When did you record these and where were you at, emotionally or personally, when you were writing these songs?
RB: It was last August and September, and I was here in my basement studio, where I am right now. [Laughs.] I wasn't particularly depressed or in a weird state. These songs have probably been written over the last couple of years, maybe a little longer. I can't describe a particular place I was in because every song is different.
What I try to do is just try to collect as many good songs as I can and then look at them when it comes time to record and see what fits together, which are the best songs and how they fit together. Some of the songs, like "Detox Bracelet," turn out to be a song about someone who has landed in detox and trying to find hope in that situation. But they're all different. They all come from a different place, but there's a little bit of darkness and hope mixed into them.
CP: When you were culling down the 20 songs you recorded, did you notice that the ones you ultimately selected had that common theme or was that something you realized after the fact?
RB: Yeah, and most of my songs do have that, actually. You can listen to "The Party's All Gone" and think it's a party song if you don't pay too much attention to the lyrics, which are basically that you're killing yourself. I guess they have that theme of some kind of desperation, when you're in that kind of desperation, there are some gifts there. That's the theme, I guess.
CP: What kind of an evolution does this album represent from "The Meantime" or your earlier work?
RB: Well, I think the "Meantime" was just a project I did just to do a piano and vocal album, a quieter record. There are no guitars on that record because I felt like doing a quieter, slower record.
The other ones I've done in the past have had more of an Americana feel to them, but definitely, they've all got funk and blues in them. This one has much more of that and even more of the Motown feel.
I think I've been thinking about and singing some blues songs and thinking about Howlin' Wolf and reading books about him and relistening to his stuff and some other blues stuff. I just love the blues. I don't go around singing the blues, but it's so much of a part of what I love about music - that and R&B music. I think I just let myself do some songs that were more closely related to that.
Whatever that is is a blues thing, sort of, but it has a weirdness to it, too, from the loops. It's got an edge to it that is definitely a modern edge because of the loop that is running behind it and the guitar sounds.
When we were doing that up in Nashville, the engineer stuck a harmonica mike, one of those old bullet mikes, next to my good vocal mike. He did that so I could sing through the bullet mike running through a distorted amplifier. What that did was evoke some Howlin' Wolf feel or old blues feel, and we ended up using it on most of the songs because it added a wild edge to the songs. It's just like how Howlin' Wolf would sing so loud that it would distort the preamps. We used that on the secondary mike on almost everything because it inspired me to sing things differently and because it sounded cool. We used that mike even when I came back to Athens to record to make sure we had that same sound on the vocals.
CP: Are you taking any equipment on the road to replicate that vocal tone at your live shows?
RB: If we had the money, we'd be doing that. [Laughs.] I'd like to have a soundman go with us, but right now, we're not going to have that. If we go out on tour, we'll probably do that. When you're playing around in the South, you're relying on other sound people who barely have time to do a sound check. It's a good idea to be able to use that, and we may start bringing that in some, now that you mention it.
CP: How have audiences been reacting to this new material?
RB: Great. Really great. There are a lot of people saying they think this is the best record I've done. You get that on almost every record, but I've heard that a lot more on this one. It's fun but it's also dark. "Detox Bracelet" has turned out to be a lot of people's favorite song. I never would have guessed that. I wasn't even sure it should be on the record, and I liked it when we recorded it, but I never would have thought people would respond to it the way that they have.
CP: How do you usually feel in the lead up to an album's release? Does it affect your feelings on stage or your excitement about live shows?
RB: Yeah, it gives you a little boost because you get tired of doing the same old things. Playing new songs and seeing people's responses is a real energy booster. For the band, playing these new songs has been a lot of fun.
We've been playing them for a while now. I had this thing done back in November because it was a Kickstarter project. I wasn't sure I was going to go with a label. It was done, and I sent out 200 or so to all the people who contributed on Kickstarter and also was selling them at my shows as a pre-release deal.
Then, I started talking to New West because I didn't want to do another self-release record. I just think that for me, I just can't get it out there enough by myself. You have to have a publicist and radio promotion, so it just works better for me to get a label to help with all that.
This thing has been sort of out, at least at my shows - as a pre-release but I'm not selling it on my website - for a few months now.
CP: Your bio also says that you have written some songs as the result of morning meditation. How long has that been in your songwriter's bag of tricks and how did it get there?
RB: I wish I had more going on right now in my meditations, but occasionally, something will come up. I started doing that when I read "The Artist's Way," Julia Cameron's book, a kind of workbook for creativity. She wrote it as a way for artists to get unblocked. It's a great book about how to keep your creative juices flowing.
One of the things you do is write three pages without any critical thinking or editing or anything - sort of stream of consciousness. I haven't been doing it much lately, but I used to do it a lot. When you write three morning pages like that, stuff comes up.
I used it as a way to pull either an idea or a title or a theme or an attitude and put that in the back of my journal and would tear it out eventually and go downstairs with that. It's a lot easier for me to write when you have something to look at and sing. Once you've got that, it's a hell of a lot easier to do than looking at a blank page. There are some people who don't even start writing unless they've got an idea, but her idea was that it's best to show up every day and write something to break out of that stuck place that you can end up in. Just keep writing and don't edit so much and try to figure out if it's any good; just get the thing going.
That's what I was doing for a while. I would have stacks of pieces of paper to start with and then go with some drum loops and fool around on the guitar until I found something. Once I have the idea for a song, it's not that difficult, but it's getting that idea and getting the seeds planted that can be hard. Then, I just play with it like a puzzle for god knows how long until it falls together.
CP: What are you playing at shows these days? Can audiences expect a comprehensive play through of "The Bright Spots," or will you mix things up with back catalog material as well?
RB: Yeah, it's just me solo at this gig in Chattanooga, so I'll play some stuff off the new record solo, with guitar and piano, but I'll definitely play something from all my CDs. It is a solo performance. I'm sure we'll be back to Chattanooga with the band soon.

Michael Goodspeed's video rant about school bullying
By Michael Goodspeed:
I've always wondered what would have happened if my parents took action when I was being bullied everyday in school, and went to the principal's office and threatened to sue if they didn't do anything to stop all the bullying. What would they have done about it? That's what I would do it I were a parent. In fact, I'd probably go to the high school myself and fight whoever was bullying my kid. Even though I might go to jail for it, at least it's better than doing nothing and letting my son get beaten and terrorized everyday. In contrast, my dad didn't do anything about it nor did he probably even know what was going on for some reason.
I wonder if I could sue the school today for psychological scarring for life?

I think 2/3rds of American kids get bullied at some point in their youth. I got bullied up until 9th/10th grade then it just tapered off as kids become more interested in themselves than bothering others. Plus I knew how to avoid trouble. That's one thing I learned from bullies is how to spot them and keep clear. It didn't always work, but I was able to survive without huge mental scarring. I would say 6th, 7th and 8th grades were the worst years for bullying, at least from my experience. Bullying in America and actually any culture that stems from original English roots has bullying in their youth. Something about the English and their snobbery towards other social classes. Bullying never really goes away, its just people like ourselves figure out ways to not get caught up in places that promote it like big business or working for the government. Talk about adult bullying, try working for the government! The Navy was like round two of school having to deal with ADULT bullies everyday!
"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor and stoic philosopher, 121-180 A.D.
Bill O'reilly did a video on a kid being mercillessly beaten by some piece of shit on a bus. Here in Colorado the governor passed a law that allowed the schools to kick out bullies, but it isn't done anywhere near like it needs to be. Throughout the 80's you couldn't kick these loser kids out of school--the school district would get sued. So it was never done.
I think it's child abuse, and the we need to be able to sue those school districts. We take a chung of coin out of these loser educationers who don't care, we'll see some results.
85% of bullies have a felony record by the time they are 22. We need to send these kids to special "bad boy" schools which is what they did before the 80's.
And as an extension to that, I think the US should adopt a German model or something for schools: don't put all academic levels of students in the exact same classes and schools. I think a big problem with many US classrooms especially in public/state schools is that the teachers have to teach to the least common denominator. In Germany, everyone goes to different schools from roughly age 10, depending on how well they performed prior. I'm all for good education but the way things are done in the US isn't cutting it. Only good schools here are only private non-religious schools and there are very few of those, also they charge lots of money to attend.
That link is a good article on schools and bullying. He understates some things and overstates others, no doubt, but theres a lot of truth in it.

W: Wow that was the greatest and best article I ever read about the dysfunction and insanity of the whole high school system and its crazy social hierarchy as well as its prison-like nature. Every sentence and point made perfect sense. And it was easy to follow and understand too. I will be posting excerpts from it soon and starting a thread on it. It's a MUST READ for anyone who's suffered or was persecuted in high school and wants to understand why.

"It takes far less effort to find and move to the society that has what you want than it does to try to reconstruct an existing society to match your standards." - Harry Browne
W: Well only those who were persecuted or suffered in high school would understand it and look deeper. After all, those happy or reaping benefits from the system aren't the ones who complain or try to look deeper into it, so they will deny the problems and say that it's up to the individual to make the best out of it. Only the suffering ask the bigger questions and look deep into the nature of the situation.
You are from Canada right Evilbaga? Is high school there the same? I thought Canadians were less dysfunctional than Americans, they sure seem that way.
I wonder why schools in foreign countries aren't as insane as in the US though.

If you could sue those school districts , "for psychological scaring and emotional suffering." You'd bring this school bullying to end in a 3-5 years. The teachers would have to start caring or you'd clip their incomes. You take 10 million out of school district that would get their attention.
Prior to the 1980's most of these bullies were kicked out of the normal schools. They went to bad boy schools. Hillary Rodham Clinton was put in charge of this government agency ( I can't remember the name of it) by Jimmy Carter. The agency was designed to give legal aid to the poor. She used the agency, with a 300 million budget, to fund all sorts of radical communist causes. The radicals would sue, and try to create case law. And that's what they did..with bullies in the schools.
They created case law that bullies could not be kicked out of public schools. The tards had to be mainstreamed. So, adminstrators of schools had their hands tied too. They'd get sued if they kicked the trouble makers out.
But to answer your question, if you sued your schools, the case would probably be dismissed, as those cases have probably been dismissed for years. You wouldn't get it to a jury. And on top of that barrier, the time to file such a case has come and gone. There is statutes of limitations on all torts.
Actually I went to school in the Middle East, and later immigrated to Canada. Making comparisons would be extremely difficult and probably misleading. But nonetheless...
In a sense school was a total horror. In a sense the persecution was probably less there(but still there!), however the rampant open racism and other lack of rights makes life for non-arabs in the middle east a life of constant subtle, and not so subtle, indignity and persecution.
So school was bad, but probably slightly better than an american school would be , but *society* was much much worse (imagine if Paul Graham didnt have a 'real world' out there where his talents were given their due and you start to get the idea).
Sadly, I get the impression the west in general as it drifts further and further into socialism is making life one long enforced school. Before you can do well, you are hassled by laws and bureaucracy. If you cross that barrier and you do well, the government will steal 50%+ of your money and give it to people who dont do well - thereby breeding entitlement in those lower class people (this includes feminists, women in general and their choice of short-term and/or long term mates). That shifts what society values from real world performance, to what was valued in school all over again, etc etc.
I never got bullied at least past 7 grade , but I saw other kids get it. And I hated it with a passion.
In the 7 th grade , I had this piece shit who was sitting behind me and kicking me. I walked in one day while he was sitting down, and couldn't get up readily and I beat him over and over with a book. Never had any more trouble with him.
But in high school that's when things really got serious. I mean really nasty , vicious serious assualtive behavior, and nothing was done about it. Most of these sociopaths have alienated all the good kids by the time they are in the 6-9 grades, so they are very lonely. In the 7-8 grades , they find each other and bond with each other--since no one else likes them. Now you are dealing with groups of predators.
One particulary vicious piece of shit--he probalby assaulted 75 kids or more--I had a run in with him, and knew a conflict was brewing so I decided to challenge him first. You know what I saw inside of him--nothing-no soul, no person. He and his gang showed up at my house after a party I had had . Luckily my friend Bill scarred him away. But I had my M16 with 3 30 round clips as a further back up, and I'd of used it.
I am not a gun crazed maniac but I believe in violence for self -defense.
Back in HS there was this Hispanic kid who loved to use his towel to drag people off their benches in the locker room. Odd thing was that many of the guys were bigger but just shrug it off as a joke. I didn't apperciate being dragged off my butt when I'm putting on my underwear. Oh and he used to call me "rice boy".
So one day I found him by a corner with his GF during lunch. They were flirting with each other by the bushes and I snuck up behind him. He was holding a school lunch bean burrito in his hand, so I yelled "BEANER" into his ear as loud as I could. He was so shocked that he squeezed the burrito, and the contents splattered out allover his GF.
After that, I ran as fast I could, with him in tow threatening to kill me. Fortunately I did out run him. Quite exciting. He complained to his cousins (in same HS) about what happened, and they all thought it was quite funny.

Comments about High Country Gardens Campsis grandiflora Morning Calm:
I planted the Morning Calm vine in early 2016 in a large pot with herbs and limited sun. It did not do very much that year, reaching maybe only a foot tall. After having forgotten all about it, this year it is up to the roof and still growing. Very delicate looking leaves, no flowers yet as of July in CA. Especially nice that there are no tendrils to attach to everything. I have read somewhere that these don't flower for a couple of years, but they are worth the wait. Am happy to wait as it is a very uncomplaining vine!

Comments about High Country Gardens Campsis grandiflora Morning Calm:
One of my favorite vines because it is so attractive and exotic/tropical looking, and brings many hummingbirds and other pollinators to our property. We are in Zone 7 in the high desert. We only get 14 inches of natural water a year, and the temperatures fluctuate quite a bit (from 0-100 F in a typical year). Our soil is nothing to write home about, either. Our red dirt has never heard the term, "Loamy Topsoil." ;) Our trumpet vine is planted along a south-facing wooden fence. Below the fence is vinca (periwinkle) planted along the edge of a gravel driveway. This helps shade the roots of the trumpet vine and retain moisture, so that we no longer have to water (watering was only required for a time after the initial transplant). Also along the fenceline we have planted some high-leafed, medium sized trees (in other words, there is a high vertical "wall" of vegetation, starting with the vinca on the ground, then the trumpet vine on the fence, then the tree canopy above the fence, reaching 20-30 feet). These different types of leafy, insulating vegetation provide a significant cooling effect and a substantial buffer from our fierce desert sun and wind. The plants all work together to provide a self-sustaining oasis for wildlife that no longer requires any care from us. Further along the wall we have drought tolerant iris and red hot poker plants as well as some wildflower natives. Once established, this plant is so easy to propogate, as wherever a tendril touches the ground and gets a little buried/lodged, a new root system will establish like a wheel hub, with new tendrils growing from the "hub" like spokes. Then it's a small matter to trim the tendrils, dig up the new root hub, and move it to a desired transplant location. What a value! New transplants that are moved during the growing season seem to require frequent watering, shade and mulching throughout their first hot season. Then after that, they can be more independent. Leaves & seed pods also look very nice.

Very disappointed in last few HCG purchases. All columbine dead. Didn't even last a season, even after I called for consultation. One of two, small, full sun blooms died after coming out of dormancy. The other is alive but has not grown. Regret purchases overall.

This trumpet vine may have died. After I planted it last spring it remained the same size throughout the summer and now looks Charlie Brown-ish. I am hoping that it is still alive and that I will see a lot of growth next spring. I bought the Yum Yum Winterizer which will help if the roots are ok. We'll see.

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

An all-dayer to celebrate the point where all sorts of English folk music (and one emigrant American living in Wales) meets what Lord Buckley referred to as The Far-Goneasphere.
The clichés about our folk music suggest that if it's not 97-verse traditional ballads about our murderous aristocracy then it's all "jolly milkmaids, foaming nutbrown ale and illegal shagging" (to quote somebody whose name eludes us). Others would have it as some sort of Wicker Man kingdom of haunted pastoral pagan pholklore shading into eccentric steampunk with banjos. Well, it's some of all that and none of that, but there are increasing numbers of musicians and songwriters beyond the mainstream currently taking inspiration from the themes, tunes and musical strangenesses of our roots and making something timelessly new but still distinctly local out of them. So the idea arose to put as many as we could assemble into a building for a day and see what would happen. Hence… weirdlore. We have …

A Song of Ice and Fire
by George R.R. Martin
A Song of Ice and Fire is truly a fantastic mix of fantasy and inspiration from our own history. Loosely based in part on the War of the Roses, this book shows how vicious humanity can become when playing the game of thrones. Martin leaves no detail undescribed in his breath taking battles and wars with almost each and every character having a chapter dedicated to them at some point or another.
For me personally, I feel that too many characters were included, making the storylines at times, hard to follow. This became more apparent in the later books where characters are left for several books until Martin decides to follow up on them. For example anyone remember Catelyn Stark??? Not heard about since just after the Red Wedding and I personally would love to know what she's been up to.
If I'm completely honest, I do enjoy these books from the sarcastic one liners to the fact I really don't know who will win the Iron Throne, personally I'm rooting for Dany. But I have to also say that I hope Martin doesn't take too long on the books as with the TV series catching up I wonder how long fans will remain interested in these final books. We shall see!
I highly recommend anyone who is a fan of war books or fantasy to read this series as it has something for everyone, male or female. With similarities to Tolkein the books are ingenious at captivating their reader!!!
In spite of everything, one of the best series I have ever read!

By Fredrik Dahl
VIENNA (Reuters) - The global fight against narcotics has suffered serious setbacks, including record opium cultivation in Afghanistan and a surge of trafficking-related violence in Central America, the U.N. anti-drugs chief said on Thursday.
Yury Fedotov also noted some successes, such as a shrinking cocaine market, at the start of a two-day meeting that will review implementation of a 2009 plan of action to combat the drugs problem before a special session of the U.N. General Assembly in 2016, amid a heated debate on the merits of drugs liberalization.
Fedotov, executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), said reductions in the supply and demand for some drugs in one part of the world had been partly offset by increases elsewhere.
"The overall magnitude of drug demand has not substantially changed at the global level," he told the conference, which organizers said drew 1,500 representatives from member states, civil society organizations and other groups.
"We are strongly concerned about the vulnerability of some regions, notably West Africa and East Africa, to illicit drug trafficking," Fedotov said.
There are around 27 million "problem drug users" in the world and about 210,000 narcotics-related deaths a year, a UNODC document prepared for the conference said.
There is disagreement on how to best counter the problem, with critics questioning the war on drugs and advocating some legalization to try to undermine criminal gangs that thrive on narcotics trafficking.
In a move that will be closely watched by other nations discussing drug liberalization, Uruguay's parliament in December approved a bill to legalize and regulate the sale and production of marijuana - the first country to take such a step.
In the United States, Washington and Colorado states have legalized the sale of cannabis under license, although federal law has not changed.
A group statement by Latin American countries said they had devoted "huge" resources to fight drugs but that the action had not been sufficient to tackle "ever greater" challenges.
A better understanding of the economics that underlie and foster narcotics trafficking is required, the statement said.
Fedotov, who said earlier this week that legalization was not a solution, told the meeting that dismantling the provisions of three international drug control conventions - one dating back to 1961 - would not help protect people's health.
The head of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), which monitors compliance with the conventions, said they had helped limit the use of narcotics to medical and scientific purposes.
"Do we have the right to weaken the system that we took more than 100 years to put in place?" Raymond Yans asked.
The International Drug Policy Consortium, a non-government network attending the meeting, said the drug control system had worsened stigma, violence and organized crime.
But another group, Drug Policy Futures, said: "The legalization of alcohol and tobacco have been a global public health disaster - why should we go down the same road by legalizing additional addictive drugs?"
Fedotov said the total area under coca bush cultivation fell by 26 percent between 2007 and 2011. Cocaine use in North America, the world's largest market, has fallen sharply, UNODC data showed.
There had also been strengthened international cooperation, with information-sharing and coordination among law agencies.
"And yet there have been serious setbacks," Fedotov said, noting opium cultivation reached record levels in Afghanistan in 2013. Afghanistan supplies 90 percent of the world's opium, from which heroin is made, and its poppy-driven economy is helping to fuel the 13-year-long war in the country.
Fedotov also said drug trafficking "has triggered a dramatic surge of violence in Central America".

GAL 4:13–14 – But you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time; and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.
We see Paul revealing that he was bodily afflicted. Because of this affliction Paul remained at Galatia to father them in the faith. God allowed a bodily affliction to exist in this man of faith for a purpose: God wanted Paul to stay at Galatia, doing His will—the illness was used as a course-changer.
Did the Galatians look down on Paul for having this bodily affliction? Not at all. In fact, Paul commends them. For this bodily affliction was a burden to the Galatian church yet they received him as an angel of God, and as Christ Himself. Some in the body of Christ look spiritually down on others for being sick. They judge them as lacking spiritual growth. This is not what scripture teaches.
You cannot make a method out of any of these biblical examples for your own case, but you can listen to the Holy Spirit as He speaks to your situation through these biblical examples. As for Paul's illness, surely he could hear from heaven in prayer, yet his bodily affliction is what spoke in this particular situation. Always remember: God, at times, allows afflicting events to occur in your life for one sole reason: to change your course! And—God is not always obliged to tell you that this is the reason you are being afflicted. You must simply change your course and fulfill the affliction's purpose. So—as to not be confused—we learn to hear God in our affliction, and at certain times we learn to understand God's silence in our affliction.
Paul had revelation of the purpose of his affliction, maybe as he suffered it, but maybe later when he penned the Galatian letter. The important thing is that we live and die bearing fruits of righteousness, having an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying regarding our current season of growth. Hear God's voice in your affliction, and hear God's silence in your affliction. Then allow the affliction to fulfill God's design in your life.

While there are specific steps that organizations should follow after a breach has occurred, as Elizabeth points out in the article, "[t]he first step comes before a breach is even detected: Planning how an organization will respond saves critical time when a privacy or security incident is discovered." However, even with all the best possible planning, a data breach still may occur. Once a breach is detected, Elizabeth provides some fundamental steps for the organization to follow: Stop the breach Gather the facts surrounding the breach Notify affected individuals of the breach – be mindful of different federal and state deadlines Notify the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights Prepare any public notification about the breach Implement corrective measures to prevent future breaches The full article, "Medical Records are Special; Protection Efforts Must Be, Too," was published by The Tennessean on June 7, 2016, and is available online.

In year 7, students will study one modern language per term. In the Autumn Term, students study German, in the Spring Term, students study Spanish and French is studied in the Summer Term. Students choose their preferred language to continue studying one MFL in year 8 and in year 9.
Regular writing, speaking, reading and listening assessments throughout the year.
Homework is set and taken very seriously by all staff and students. Learning homework is set weekly, in view of conducting grammar and translation activities in class, along with extended writing tasks.
French : Studio 1, 2, 3
German : Echo1, Stimmt 2, Echo 3
Spanish : Mira course
Many careers in teaching, journalism, engineering, marketing, finance and business are offered to linguists. Information is given in details throughout the study of MFL at KS3, at Parents' evenings and option evenings.
Each week you will be timetabled for four periods of one hour each.
Our Department focuses on the teaching of vocabulary and grammar. We understand it is crucial for our students to understand how each language works and we undertake a lot of grammar, dictation and translation activities. We want the best for all students and we encourage speaking the target language with the teacher, but also in pairs and in groups. We also have a ' beyond the textbook approach' and all MFL staff use and present high quality authentic resources, such as extended texts, online materials, songs and engaging activities which will help students understand not only the language but also the culture of each country.
We also strongly encourage all students to take part in our French and German exchanges which take place annually. We have a partner school in Barntrup ( Germany ) and a partner school in France ( Toulouse, France )
Successful students need be imaginative, creative and positive. Students must be organised and prepared to work hard in their own time. Patience and peristence are key virtues, as is the ability to take criticism positively. Successful students need to be open, expressive and committed.
GCSE students are encouraged to work over an extended period of time on the development of their projects. This process is broken down into easily understood targets by the Art teacher and requires a mature and independent approach from the student in order to be successful.
Students should always have a set of personal targets to complete – these targets are likely to be detailed on the student's Progress Log and found on the task lists in their sketchbook.
Ask your son/daughter about their artwork and their ideas. Take them to galleries and to places where they can gather photographs for their work. Provide them with materials and tools, and try to sort out a space in the house for them to study. Finally, ask to see their Progress Logs – it's all there!
The Art Department opens its doors daily to students to come and work at break, lunchtime and after school on Tuesdays & Thursdays. We regularly arrange Saturday Workshops, sometimes inviting specialist artists to deliver a master class. There are many other opportunities to be involved more in Art such as mural painting, Rock Challenge set design and Saatchi Online (www.saatchionline.com/shtc)

Jeon, Boyoung; Kim, Hongsoo; Kwon, Soonman;
Background: This study examined patient and hospital factors related to long-stay admissions in long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) among older people in Korea. Methods: We analyzed health insurance claims data, entitlement data, and institutional administrative data from the National Health Insurance Service databases between 2010 and 2012. At the patient level, we compared characteristics of patients staying in LTCHs for over 180 days (the long-stay group) with those staying in LTCHs for less than 90 days during a calendar year. At the hospital level, we examined the general characteristics and staffing levels of the top 10% of hospitals with the highest proportion of patients whose length of stay (LOS) was 180+ days (the hospitals with long-stay patients) and compared them with the top 10% of hospitals with the highest proportions of patients whose LOS was less than 90 days (hospitals with shorter-stay patients). Results: The long-stay group accounted for about 40% of all LTCH patients. People in the group were more likely to be women, aged 80+, living alone, and experiencing more than two health conditions. Compared to the hospitals with shorter-stay patients, those with long-stay patients were more likely to be occupied by patients with behavior problems and/or impaired cognition, owned by corporate or local governments, have more beds and a longer period of operation, and deliver services with lower staffing levels. Conclusion: This study found long-stay older people in LTCHs and those in LTCHs with high proportions of long-stay older patients had several distinct characteristics compared to their counterparts designated in this study. Patient and hospital characteristics need to be considered in policies aiming to resolve long-stay admissions problems in LTCHs.

DRAMA CLUB: Mr Baek Ep 1 Recap
Death, meteors and some seriously goofy characters welcome us in this first episode of Mr. Baek. Between greedy family members and selfless helpers there is a wide range of characters to enjoy. Come join Amy and myself as we discuss and laugh our way through this first entertaining episode.
Amy: I was excited for Mr. Baek but I wasn't sure what to expect as dramas like this tend to be hit or miss for me. I really enjoyed the first episode, though!
Wendilynn: I didn't know what to expect either. All I knew is that our lead male, Shin Ha Kyun likes playing goofy characters and that I love Jang Na Ra. So I really wanted to see this one. Besides… Lee Joon makes excellent eye candy. hehehehe!
Amy: Yeah...I like looking at Lee Joon. As soon as I saw him I started picking who I want him to be paired with. I always want my eye candy paired happily with someone!
Wendilynn: Our lawyer is also eye candy. Played by Jung Suk Won, he's most known for being the bodyguard on Rooftop Prince. It was cute to see he had a crush on the secretary.
Amy: I was very excited when I saw that Jung Suk Won was in this drama. Rooftop Prince is one of my favorites and he was a favorite character for me. He looks adorable with glasses.
Wendilynn: Doesn't he, though? This first episode almost made it look like there is a rivalry for the secretary's attention between him and Lee Joon's character. However… I had to laugh myself silly with the introduction of Lee Joon's character. That happy birthday sign... oh my gosh.
Amy: Yes. I was in love with Lee Joon's character as soon as I saw that sign. I like it when guys have a goofy, free side to them! It is unfortunate that his good intentions often get misinterpreted though.
Wendilynn: Did you catch what the sign was supposed to say before the air tore off letters? Because I can't read Hangul that well yet.
Amy: I didn't catch it! I thought about pausing it because I can't read Hangul that fast yet either but I didn't.
Wendilynn: It was nice to see that the "scandal" that had him running around wasn't completely true. I was afraid he was going to be a wastrel of a son and instead, it looks like he's a good guy. I do want to know who is setting them up though.
Amy: It is probably someone close to his dad. A greedy person who just wants power and money.
Wendilynn: Go Bong is a pretty rotten character when we meet him. He's universally nasty to everyone. I wouldn't be surprised to see it be one of his siblings or something. Him having nightmares about death was surprising. Very interesting representation they are using.
Amy: Go Bong is very nasty to everyone around him but I think he has some sweetness hidden away too. His siblings just drive me crazy already. Oh the nightmares! His subconscious definitely knows something that he doesn't. I've heard of people having premonitions in dreams before. I think it is very interesting.
Wendilynn: Speaking of sweetness, Na Ra's character Ha Soo is so cute. She is so caring and keeps getting stuck in these crazy situations that look really perverted on the outside. lol
Amy: Poor sweet Ha Soo. I like that she is sweet even though she is reluctant about it sometimes. She realizes that it is more important to help a person than walk away to make herself feel better.
Wendilynn: She is also willing to stand up for herself. Wilting, shy flower she is not.
Amy: That is very awesome because most of the time if a female lead is sweet she does not speak up for herself. I hope Ha Soo stays that way throughout the drama.
Wendilynn: She just got done playing that type of character in Fated to Love You, so I would expect something a little different. I liked that while she is nice and helpful, if she is in a compromising situation, she fights. Like the hotel bed scene. Lee Joon's character, Choi Dae Han is just trying to hide from dad and she's all fighting to get free, not bothering to wait "just in case" he isn't a pervert.
Amy: Speaking of Fated to Love You, I was way too excited to see that Lee Mi Do is playing Jung Na Ra's sister again. They make a good pair. Why did Choi Dae Han think he would even be able to get away with that?
Wendilynn: She was very good as the pregnant sister, so I was happy to see her here as well. Although I couldn't tell if they were really sisters or just best friends. Their last names are different, but that doesn't mean anything. As for Dae Han, I'm chalking it up to employer privilege. People so desperate for a job they will accept any type of mistreatment. Not that he was really taking advantage of her other then using her feet to look suspicious. lol
Amy: It was funny when the elderly people at Silver House thought Chairman Choi had Alzheimer's. Poor guy couldn't speak up for himself without sounding lost and his grumpy outbursts definitely didn't help.
Wendilynn: He throws so many tantrums. I was just laughing as they dressed him in those clothes and then didn't believe a word he said. But it was nice to see Ha Soo taking care of him no matter how nasty he was to her. She didn't put up with his bluster and helped him out whether he liked it or not.
Amy: Ha Soo is definitely a better person than me. I would not have been able to keep my patience if I were her. It was kind of cute when he started falling for her while she was washing his hands though. We got to catch a glimpse of Chairman Choi's softness before he snapped out of it.
Wendilynn: He was certainly charmed when she finally gave him back his glasses and he saw her clearly for the first time. Then he couldn't forget her. That leads us to their fateful meeting in the sink hole. I'm not sure I'm buying the meteor shower on a lunar eclipse thing. lol
Amy: Me either but it would be awesome if it happened. I'd love to see a meteor shower on a lunar eclipse. I kept trying to guess what would cause Chairman Choi to become younger but I did not think it would be a meteor. Was that really supposed to be a piece of a meteor?
Wendilynn: Yup. I guess meteor shards that fall on a lunar eclipse are special. Especially when they are mistaken for nitroglycerin pills. lol
Amy: The blue light shining out of the bath tub was pretty spectacular too. Oh but did you catch that the piece of meteor looked like the gem that Dae Han lost? What is the connection there?
Wendilynn: No, I did not make that connection, but you're right. They look similar. And Ha Soo cut her hand on it in the hotel room. I wonder what her connection is to the chairman that helped him return once she held his hand?
Amy: Do we really have to wait to find out? I don't like this waiting nonsense. I just want to know!
Wendilynn: Well, we do have a sexy man with ducklips in a bathtub to hold us over until we get those answers. *evil chuckles*
The comedy ball has started rolling and its anyone's guess where it will end up. What's in store for our characters in episode 2? Join us next time and find out.

Lee Jong Suk Is Burning Up the Runway!
The book had the best job on the set that day! Look at all that skinship!
I laughed when I saw this photo! It screams "Why yes, I am better looking than you."
O.M.G seriously you guys I wanna hurl because I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Ugh! That yellow leather jacket is the entire world, and his legs just go on forever!! They're so long!!
See if you survive if he was looking over at you like that! Here he is with F(x) member Krystal, and I totally heart her—I really do—but if I could just cut her out of this picture... (-_-)
This photo is all about cheek bones and jawline.
Oh, hi. I'm stranded. Can you give me a ride? (-_-)
This reminds me of those art classes where no one actually knows how to draw or paint, and he's the broke college student posing for a few dollars. *Makes it rain*
He's like a mischievous cat ready to pounce.
Leather and glasses, that is all.
He is just giving it in this photo! I mean that nose job, those pouty lips, and those Jung Il Woo-shaped eyes! He's got that side-swooped hair, and perfectly airbrushed skin! Hands down, Lee Jong Suk is everything.
Imagine this as a two way mirror. I don't even care, I would sit here all day if he was gonna just stand there looking at himself.
Is Lee Jong Suk modelicious enough for you? Which photo is your favorite?!
