Update 8.05am: The early birds have triumphed. All ten passes are accounted for. Sorry if you missed out - go see the movie anyway. Tors.
It's hard to believe it's Christmas Day this Friday, and The Punch is nearly 7-months-old. We're here because of you, so thank you for that.
You may have noticed we're a bit politically obsessed here, as it seems, are most of you. In the Loop is a movie for political tragics with a robust sense of humour (to call the language colourful is an understatement).
It's out in cinemas here from January 21 - and the first 10 people to email me and ask (8.10am: they've all been allocated now, sorry) will get a double pass to see it.
In the Loop is a fictional depiction of how intelligence can be "sexed up" to justify a war. Which ever side you sit on that issue, you'll still find it hilarious. I snorted some mineral water out my nose the other night when I watched it.
The story focusses on a hapless British Minister who is sent to Washington to "meet with as few people as possible." The PM's chief-of-staff is a particularly special character.
If you miss out on one of our passes, I recommend you get to see it anyway.
Over the next two weeks The Punch Christmas Team (Leo and me), will be trying to keep on top of everything, even if sometimes it's done in between Test overs. If there's anything you'd like us to take a look at email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Leo (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Subscribers will be getting their daily email a bit later in the morning than usual. We'll be back to full steam on January 4th.
Have an excellent Christmas and New Year.

I would like to say thank you Tory and the rest of the team for making "The Punch" As someone who enjoys news and opinion I think the site is awesome and everyday at some stage I always have a look.
Merry Christmas and thanks for keeping the Punch going at a time when most people have more time to read and contribute than normal.
BJ says:
Ditto to Dave C's comments. Thanks for giving me food for thought everyday.
Enjoy the break.
Wayne Hutchins says:
Your here because of us, Why thankyou! Some one should let Pembo no that though. LOL
Seriously but, I think you are one of the better contributors and I look forward to reading what you have to say.
To all on the Punch, (whether or not I have upset you) I wish a safe and happy Xmas and lets fix up this ETS garbage in the new year….
RT says:
Thanks, Tory, for The Punch. I think it's the best site of its kind in Australia. Best wishes for a relaxing season for The Punch, even those unfortunate enough to have to work.
6clegs says:
Ehoing what others have posted.
I also love this site! (just wish that perhaps the 'comments' would show up quicker - but appreciate that it also keeps the language naice, and the bogans away)
Have a safe and peaceful break, all @ The Punch. I hope there are no mamoth natural disaters looming (as seems to happen every xmas break). I'm also glad that Punch will be here over the break. I'm looking forward to catching up on stories I missed.
Cheers All. Be safe.
T.Chong says:
Yes folks this site is pretty good for divergent ideas,POVs, idealism,ideology. Sometimes it gets a little heated,and some name calling, but most appear able to go with the punches, giving and taking.
Even though Rupert does own the site, I look forward to the latte-sipping lefties eventually running this site, along with everything else, as we are swept up in the glory and wonder of socialism after Rudd win s his second term, then our first gal PM Gillard takes over for the following electoral triumph. -what a wonderful age we live,and will live in.!!!!
ACTOldFart says:
As to this site, I like the content, but it really has to be technically one of the worst, most incompetent sites on the Web. Slow, clunky, serious problems with actually trying to add a comment or read comments, overall a technical disaster. Get your act together or you will lose a lot of readers and contributors. Apart from that, Merry Xmas.
Kevin Rennie says:
Like most top British comedy it relies primarily for its humour on dialogue rather than visual gags.
When the film was introduced at MIFF 09 it was described as a mixture of Monty Python, The Office and Yes Minister. It certainly lived up to this accolade with lots of laughs throughout.

If you're in not good state and have got no cash to go out from that, you will have to receive the loan. Just because that will help you definitely. I get short term loan every single year and feel good just because of this.

On the inverse of the covariance matrix in portfolio analysis
The goal of this study is the derivation and application of a direct characterization of the inverse of the covariance matrix central to portfolio analysis. As argued below, such a specification of the inverse, in terms of a few primitive constructs, helps clarify the determinants of such key concepts as (1) the optimal holding of a given risky asset, (2) the slope of the risk-return efficiency locus faced by the individual investor, and (3) the pricing of risky assets in the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The two building blocks of the inverse turn out to be the non-diversifiable part of each asset's variance and the multiple regression and correlation coefficients obtained by regressing each asset's excess expected return on the set of excess expected returns of all other assets.Download Info

Garden Staters have responded very positively to N.J. Gov. Chris Christie's leadership following Superstorm Sandy, according to a new Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. More than 90 percent praise the governor for his handling of the storm: 69 percent say Christie handled the crisis "very well" and another 23 percent say he handled it "somewhat well."
And what about the headline-making, controversy-causing bipartisan relationship between Governor Christie and President Obama in Sandy's wake? Eighty-one percent of New Jerseyans believe the two politicians showed "needed cooperation and bipartisanship," compared to only 12 percent who think Christie "went too far in his praise" of the president.
The governor's overall favorability rating now stands at 65 percent with all residents and 67 percent among registered voters, up more than 15 points from before the storm. Sixty-one percent of respondents say they support Christie more strongly due to his handling of the storm.
"Governor Christie has emerged as a clear leader in this crisis, with New Jerseyans applauding his efforts, and in particular his literal and figurative embrace of President Obama in a time of need," said David Redlawsk, director of the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll and professor of political science at Rutgers. "Despite a recent New York Times story that some national GOP leaders are condemning the governor for his show of bipartisanship, New Jerseyans of all stripes say it was exactly the right thing to do."
New Jersey residents also commend President Obama, with 84 percent of residents saying Obama did "somewhat" or "very well" during the crisis. But most say this had no effect on how they voted: more than three-quarters of voters say the president's response made no difference, while 18 percent say his assistance with Sandy made them more likely to vote for him.
State Democratic Party Chairman John Wisniewski was less than flabbergasted by the poll.
"I think that's to be expected," said Wisniewski, in a nod to Sandy. "Polls are snapshots in time. That's not a predictor. They're nice numbers, now. Bush had a 92 percent approval rating in 1992 and look what happened to him."
Results are from a poll of 1,228 New Jersey adults conducted statewide among both landline and cell phone households from Nov. 14-17. The sample has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points. Within this sample is a subsample of 1,108 registered voters; this subsample has a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points.
Strong bipartisan support for Christie
Democrats, independents, and Republicans all applaud the governor's storm efforts. Two-thirds of Democrats and independents, and 78 percent of Republicans, say Christie did very well. Sixty percent of Democrats and independents say they now are stronger Christie supporters; 68 percent of Republicans feel the same. The governor's favorability has reached bipartisan highs, with 49 percent of Democrats, 70 percent of independents, and 89 percent of Republicans saying they now have a favorable impression of Christie. Only 38 percent of Democrats report an unfavorable impression, a drop from 68 percent in early October, when only 22 percent of Democrats felt favorably toward the governor.
"Christie's bipartisan outreach and his visible leadership resulted in high marks from people of all political persuasions," said Redlawsk. "This is a nice exception to the typical partisan splits over nearly anything the Governor does. In a time of crisis, people expect their elected leaders to put politics aside, and when that happens, they respond very positively."
Christie receives high praise even from his customary detractors. Almost three-quarters of women (72 percent) think Christie handled the crisis very well, and 64 percent say they are now more supportive of him. Fifty-three percent of black residents and 61 percent of Hispanics say the governor did very well. Forty-three percent of blacks and 55 percent of Hispanics also say they are now more supportive of Christie.
The governor's strongest support comes from those regions most heavily affected by Superstorm Sandy. Eighty-three percent of shore county residents say Christie handled the crisis very well, as do 76 percent of northwestern New Jersey (exurban) residents. More than 60 percent in each region are now more supportive of Christie because of his actions. Little difference in opinion exists between those personally affected by the storm and those who were not.
"The governor has clearly built a reservoir of goodwill through his aggressive approach to Sandy," said Redlawsk. "The timing makes things interesting – those intending to run against him next year must make their decisions soon, yet the governor is clearly riding high right now. How long this reservoir lasts will help determine who gets in and who stays out of the 2013 gubernatorial race."
Obama's response also praised
While the president's support does not quite reach the lofty levels seen for Christie, majorities of most groups say the president did at least somewhat well handling the crisis.
Virtually all Democrats commend him, and 76 percent say he did very well. While 61 percent of GOP respondents give the president a positive rating on his post-Sandy actions, only 27 percent say the president did very well.
Obama's response to the storm had little impact on voters on Election Day, however, except for those already likely to vote for him. Thirty percent of Democrats say Obama's storm response made them more likely to vote for him, compared to 12 percent of independents and five percent of Republicans. About one-fifth of women and 30 percent of black voters feel the same. Voters in the hardest hit regions – exurban and shore counties, which lean Republican – were most likely to say Obama's response had no effect on their votes at all (81 percent and 77 percent, respectively).
Newark Mayor Cory Booker's storm efforts, though not as well known throughout the rest of the state, notably score highly in urban areas, with 58 percent saying the mayor did somewhat or very well with the crisis. One-third are unsure.
Christie-Obama storm tour earns strong bipartisan support
In the midst of countless media stories and GOP controversy over Christie's praise and embrace of Obama after the storm, New Jersey residents – including over two-thirds of Christie's own party – support the show of bipartisanship by the Governor and the President. Eighty-eight percent of Democrats, 80 percent of independents, and 69 percent of Republicans say Christie's gratitude toward and interaction with Obama was a necessary display of bipartisanship. Only a quarter of Republicans feel Christie went too far and possibly hurt Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. Likewise, 67 percent of conservatives support the bipartisan showing. Among those who voted, 68 percent of Romney supporters feel the bipartisanship was necessary, while 28 percent think Christie's praise of the President was detrimental.
Sandy made voting more difficult for a few
Despite the storm's timing, few voters had trouble casting their ballots. Only 7 percent of voters personally affected by Sandy say they found it difficult to vote. Statewide, 86 percent of voters said they experienced no difficulty at all. Among registered voters who said they failed to get to the polls, 20 percent say the storm played a role, though most had other reasons for not voting. Residents living in areas most affected by Sandy, shore and exurban counties, are most likely to blame the storm for their failure to vote.
"Turnout here was noticeably lower than in most presidential elections," noted Redlawsk, "but it's hard to determine if Sandy was the reason. It seems likely that much of the drop was Sandy-related, although it also might be attributed to the fact New Jersey was not a battleground state."
Lew Candura, the veteran chair of the Morris County Democratic Committee, will retire this year and back the organization's executive director, Chip Robinson, to serve as his successor.

Illinois woman acquitted on heroin overdose charges
Heroin likely involved in gas station restroom death
Metro-east police say the death of a Worchester, NY woman inside a gas station restroom was probably drug related.
Madison County Sheriff Robert Hertz says 25 year old Angela Lamar, a Belleville native, had been traveling through Illinois with her boyfriend, a truck driver, when the couple stopped at a gas station along I-70 just outside of Highland.
Lamar was unresponsive when she was found inside the station restroom around 1:00 a.m. Sunday. She was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital in Highland.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports that investigators seized a syringe and heroin-filled capsules during their investigation. Sheriff Hertz says investigators suspect a drug overdose, but toxicology tests are still pending.
Illinois woman on trial for heroin overdose of boyfriend
Police Chief wants St. Louis County officers to carry heroin antidote
Nearly 1,800 people have died from heroin overdoses in the St. Louis area since 2007. St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch believes his department can do more to cut the numbers.
Fitch says when overdose calls come in, police arrive first on the scene about 30 percent of the time. That's why he's asking the county health department to write a prescription allowing officers to carry naloxone, also called Narcan. It's a fast-acting antidote for overdoses on opiates, like heroin and morphine. Police in some other U.S. cities are already using it to treat overdose victims before EMTs arrive.
Fitch told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that equipping each car with two-doses is affordable, costing the department about $1,500.
Advocates to rally for drug law aimed at saving overdose victims
A bill sponsored by Republican state Representative Bryan Spencer, would grant immunity from minor drug possession charges to overdose victims and people who get medical help for them. Ten other states, including Illinois, have already enacted the so-called "good Samaritan" laws. Spencer's bill is based on the Illinois model.
St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he supports the measure, saying that saving lives is more important than pursuing minor drug charges. But St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch expressed doubts that the law would make much difference, telling the paper that people who abuse alcohol or heroin "aren't the most responsible" people.
Advocates say the state can't afford to ignore the problem. They cite research by the Missouri Recovery Network and Roosevelt University, which suggests that heroin and opiate abuse poses a particularly deadly and growing threat in Missouri, especially the St. Louis area.

This article is about firemaking method. For the bonfire involved in fighting Sköll, see Bonfire (2012 Winter Event).
Bonfires are one of the best methods for training firemaking released with an update on 10 May 2012. It introduces the feature of being able to add more logs directly onto a fire.
This training method is available to members and non-members. This activity also gives strange rocks, and Treasure hunter keys.
Other players may add logs onto your fire, and everyone contributing will receive bonus firemaking experience for the logs added. Also, the player receives a health boost depending on his/her firemaking level, and the type of logs used. Cooking on the fire will also provide boosts to cooking experience.
Bonfires last different lengths of time based on the type of logs used to create them. The colour of the logs of the bonfire will also be different depending on the type of logs used. This is most noticable with magic logs. It is important to note that a bonfire will die away after a set amount of time, even if you keep adding logs to it.
Different types logs are added to a bonfire at different speeds. See the table near the bottom of this page for burning times for various logs.
Logs can be added to a bonfire in three ways:
- Right click on the log and "Use" it on an already lit fire.
- Right-click on an already lit fire and select "Use" and then choose "Add to bonfire".
- Left-click on the log to open the "Choose a Tool" interface while standing near a fire, then select "Add to bonfire".
Just like when you chop down a tree, your player will keep adding logs to the fire without you needing to click constantly. It is possible for players with a low firemaking level to apparently burn their hand and is unable to throw a log into a bonfire occasionally.
The most popular place for training Firemaking with bonfires is the Lumbridge castle cellar, where on Firemaking friends chat worlds (which are usually advertised on the official forums) a fire is often lit so that players may add logs into it without moving away from the bank chest there. Other popular places for bonfires are Skill Total (1500) worlds, where there is always a bonfire lit near each of the four Grand Exchange booths, and the Castle Wars bank chest; a full bonfire is almost always available there in any members world. World 100 in the Lumbridge Castle cellar is always filled with multiple players, and is a very easy way to train Firemaking due to the one-click bank option. It is the unofficial bonfire world, and there are, on average, well over 100 players at any given time, including at Castle Wars and the Shantay Pass. There are also at least 5 people in nearly every world at the Southwest stall in the Grand Exchange.
This section is a stub. Please help expand it.
Using logs with a bonfire instead of starting a new fire grants the following experience values. These values may change depending on your firemaking level. These also may be increased with the firemaking boosts detailed below. Also, higher level logs may be added to a bonfire more quickly (see Time & Speed table below) to increase experience gain speed. Players can expect to burn anywhere from 900-1300 logs per hour depending on how focused they are.

Magic (m) | 303.8 | 309.5 | 320 | 338 | |
Elder (m) | 434 | 449 | 457.6 | 490 |
- The experience rate of Maple logs are dependent on the player's Firemaking level. The table shows "#1 to #2", #1 being the exp gained at level 45 firemaking, #2 being the exp gained at level 99 firemaking.
Firemaking boostEdit
Adding logs into a bonfire that is being used by more players grants a Firemaking experience boost compared to the basic experience for adding logs to one's own bonfires.Players | XP Boost |
2 | 1% |
3 | 2% |
4 | 3% |
5+ |
A significant boost is also obtained through utilising bonfires based on the player's firemaking level. For every firemaking level, the experience granted is boosted by a small, constant percentage. This effect is immediately noticeable when levelling up during training, as the maximum experience gained through burning the same logs instantly increases by 1 on many occasions.
This boost can be further increased by the aid of other items boosting Firemaking experience, like: the ring of fire, flame gloves, the Dwarven army axe, and Bonus experience, though Summoning familiars do not add to the boost. Using bonus experience with ring of fire and flame gloves while using yew logs on a bonfire, one can expect over 560k experience per hour .
Life point boostsEdit
After adding 5 logs in a row of the same type to a bonfire, you will be given a boost to your maximum life points (but not the Constitution skill). The amount of life points boosted depends on a player's Firemaking level; the length of time the boost is active for depends on the type of logs used on an existing bonfire, regardless of the type of log used to start it. The effect stacks with other life point boosts, such as those from Saradomin brews. Also, the health boost carries into any dungeons you enter after receiving it, and even if you die whilst dungeoneering, you still retain this health boost.
The timer will continue running even when logged out.
Firemaking Level | Life Point Boost |
1-9 | 1% |
10-19 | 1.3% |
20-29 | 1.5% |
30-39 | 2% |
40-49 | 2.5% |
50-59 | 2.7% |
60-69 | 3.6% |
70-79 | 4% |
80-89 | 4.2% |
90-99 | 5% |
Log type | Boost Time |
Normal & Achey (m) | 6 minutes |
Oak | 12 minutes |
Willow* | 18 minutes |
Teak (m) | 24 minutes |
Arctic pine (m) | 30 minutes |
Maple | 36 minutes |
Mahogany logs (m) | 42 minutes |
Eucalyptus logs (m) | 48 minutes |
Yew | 54 minutes |
Magic (m)* & Blisterwood (m) | 60 minutes |
Elder (m) | 66 minutes |
* Cursed versions can also be added.
Cooking boostEdit
When cooking on a bonfire, you receive a 10% boost in Cooking experience. This stacks with other boosts and bonuses to Cooking experience, like the dwarven army axe and Bonus experience. Note: If a bonfire goes out while a player is cooking food, he receives regular experience rather than boosted experience for that piece of food if it is successfully cooked.
Burning time and speedEdit
Each type of log has a fixed burning timer; the better the log, the longer a fire will burn and (up to a point) the faster logs can be added to a bonfire. A log with a longer burning time enables players to cook on the fire or add additional logs to the fire for a longer time without needing to start another fire. Therefore, it is beneficial to use better logs when lighting bonfires. Examining a fire reveals the type of log burned. (m) = Members Only.
Log type | Approximate burn duration* | Bonfire burn speed** |
Regular | 2 minutes 00 seconds (120 seconds) | 6.6 seconds |
Oak | 2 minutes 20 seconds (140 seconds) | 4.2 seconds |
Willow | 2 minutes 50 seconds (170 seconds) | 4.2 seconds |
Teak (m) | 3 minutes 10 seconds (190 seconds) | 3.6 seconds |
Maple | 3 minutes 30 seconds (210 seconds) | 3.6 seconds |
Arctic (m) | 3 minutes 20 seconds (200 seconds) | 3.6 seconds |
Mahogany (m) | 4 minutes 00 seconds (240 seconds) | 3.6 seconds |
Yew | 5 minutes 00 seconds (300 seconds) | 3.6 seconds |
Magic (m) | 5 minutes 30 seconds (330 seconds) | 3.6 seconds |
Blisterwood (m) | 5 minutes 30 seconds (330 seconds) | 3.6 seconds |
Elder (m) | 6 minutes 00 seconds (360 seconds) | 3.6 seconds |
* This is the approximate duration a single log will burn, giving time to add additional logs to a bonfire, or to cook over the fire.
** This is the time it takes for a log to be put in to a bonfire.
Fire spiritEdit
Training Firemaking in this way also gives the possibility of finding strange fire spirits who'll reward you for freeing them from their wooden prisons.
The chance of freeing a fire spirit is not based on the type of logs used. It was confirmed that every log holds a 1/100 chance to release a fire spirit. Fire spirits last for one minute before disappearing. It is possible for multiple Fire Spirits to be present concurrently.
Upon freeing them, the player must click the spirit. The spirit gives rewards, usually some common runes, coins, ore (noted), gems, ashes and various charms.
Fire spirits are an excellent way for low leveled players to get charms for summoning. Getting charms this way is slower, but you will not have to fight high leveled enemies to get charms using this method.
- There was a glitch where the fire spirit gave out member items to non-members, such as charms. This, however, was fixed a few hours after release.
- Bonfires were introduced on the day of Lag Baomer, a Jewish holiday which some celebrate by having a party around a bonfire.
- Using a coloured log (gnomish firelighters) on any bonfire will change the colour of the flame, corresponding to the colour of the log.
- There is a possibility for two or more fire spirits to appear at once.
- Players find life point boosts from bonfires to be very helpful when dungeoneering: if the player enters a dungeon after receiving the boost, he or she maintains the boosted life points cap.
- Magpies are a useful familiar to use whilst lighting bonfires, as they easily gather around 20-30k per spirit pouch from gems and jewellery, resulting in an easy way to make money with minimal effort.
- There is a graphical glitch where if the player is holding a bow and warms their hands on the fire, the bow will remain visible in the player's hand. The same thing happens with the Tome of Frost.
- If you die, the Bonfire boost will still remain.

Make Your Own Plantable Paper and Holiday Cards
by Melinda Myers
posted Dec 5 2012 4:47PM
Save money, recycle, and give a gift that adds beauty to the recipient's life for seasons to come.
Make your own plantable holiday cards. All you need is recyclable paper, a sponge, towel, strainer, large bowl, spoon, and of course small flower seeds.
Tear paper into small pieces and place in a blender. Use a mix of 1/3 to 1/2 paper and the rest warm water. Blend until the mix is a slurry (thin sloppy liquid).
Add a table of cornstarch to stiffen the paper and make it easier to write upon. Stir in seeds by hand. Pour onto a strainer or screen placed over the bowl. Press to remove the excess water.
Spread the mix over a cloth and press flat with a spoon or spatula. Press flattened mix with a sponge or towel to help remove additional water. Cover with a heavy item for half an hour to further flatten, uncover and allow to dry.
A bit of information:
Cut into decorative shapes to adorn holiday cards, use as gift cards or bookmarks. Add color by including colored paper in the mix. And be sure to include a family photo of everyone having fun making the plantable gifts.

Birth Tree March 1 through 10 - Weeping Willow
The lovely and graceful weeping willow has long been a part of our landscapes. And, although it is the birth tree for those born between March 1st and 10th, think twice before planting this beauty in your backyard. As birth trees go, the weeping willow represents beauty filled with a bit of melancholy. Individuals with this birth tree are also said to be tasteful, dreamers, restless and have good intuition. Today the golden weeping willow is considered the standard and the one most of us know as weeping willow. This fast growing tree is hardy in zones 2 through 9, develops a stout trunk and is covered with long pendulous branches. It is tolerant of moist to wet soils and is often found growing along ponds and streams. This large tree is perfect for wet areas where other trees fail and where the leaf, stem and fluffy seedpod litter and aggressive roots are not a problem. A bit more information: The golden weeping willow can grow 50 to 80 feet tall with a broad canopy. If your yard is too small or you don't want the litter issue, visit this graceful beauty in a nearby park or natural setting.

Leaf Spot on Philodendron
Philodendrons have long been considered one of the easiest to grow – hardest to kill houseplants. But even these robust beauties can suffer from too much love and attention. Don't be embarrassed if you've killed this supposedly indestructible plant – many gardeners have. The most common complaints are yellow leaves with brown spots. Leaf spot diseases are usually the culprit and improper watering the cause. Take a close look at the container and your watering regimen. Make sure the pot has holes in the bottom for drainage. No matter how good a gardener, it is impossible to provide exactly the right amount of moisture every time you water. Move your plant to a container with drainage holes if needed. For best results water this and most houseplants thoroughly whenever the top couple inches of soil feels like a damp sponge. Pour off any excess water that collects in the saucer. Plants sitting in water are more subject to root rot and leaf spot diseases. A bit more information: Reduce your work load and improve your plants' growing environment by placing stones or marbles in the saucer. The excess water can collect in the saucer while the marbles elevate the pot and plant roots above the water. As the water evaporates it increases the humidity around the plant where it is needed.

Narcissus, Daffodil or Jonquil, March & December Birth flower
Is it a Narcissus, daffodil or jonquil? Whatever you call it, it is the birth flower of March and December. The terms daffodil, narcissus and jonquil are often used interchangeably. Narcissus is the botanical name for daffodils. Daffodil was the common name English speaking people gave to this group of plants. Jonquils are actually a type of daffodil botanically known as Narcissus jonquilla. They usually have 1 to 3 small fragrant flowers per stem. The leaves are more rounded than those of other daffodils. And as birth flowers go the daffodil stands for devotion, unequaled love and the sun is always shining. And if you invest in a celebration bouquet – be sure to keep these flowers in a vase all their own. The stems exude a thick sap into the water. The sap plugs the cut end of other flowers, preventing them from absorbing water. A bit more information: Visit the American Daffodil Society's website www.daffodilusa.org for sources and more information on the various types of daffodils.

Attractive Year Round Screening
How many evergreens do I need to screen the view of my neighbor's house? This is a common question raised by gardeners across the country. And even though arborvitae, junipers, and other evergreens provide great year round screening, consider creating something with more variety and seasonal interest. Start by determining exactly what views need to be screened. Evaluate the views from inside your house looking out. Then move outdoors and try standing and sitting in areas you want to create some privacy. Then consider your neighbors' view looking into your home and garden. Several smaller strategically placed gardens can provide the needed screening or privacy. Consider using ornamental grasses, perennials, and flowering shrubs along with the upright evergreens. Mixed borders are more interesting and much easier to maintain if a plant or two dies. A bit more information: Consider annual and perennial vines on decorative trellises and artwork for narrow spaces. These can provide quick screening as a short-term or long-term solution.

TMW lands Sue Ryder integrated business
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 08 December 2011 11:15AM
Sue Ryder, the charity that funds and operates hospices, has completed its three-month review by appointing Tullo Marshall Warren to its estimated £2 million integrated business.
The agency won the account after a three-way pitch against SFW and OgilvyOne. Beta and Meteorite had been knocked out at an earlier stage of a process handled by Oystercatchers.
Sue Ryder had previously worked with agencies on an ad hoc basis, but wanted to appoint a single retained shop to help develop its fundraising and marketing strategy.
Agencies that have created campaigns for the charity in the past include Cheethambell JWT, Agency Republic and Tangible Response. TMW will support local activity around Sue Ryder's 14 hospices and neurological centres, while also providing a framework to ensure broader national appeal.
The agency will also help enhance and further develop the charity's existing CRM strategy and "in memoriam giving" approach. It will create and execute a range of activity for the brand, including both on- and offline communications across a variety of channels.

Brazil's land of the jaguar
Rounding a bend, de Souza motioned the boatman to slow down as the river became narrow, the jungle thick and verdant. There was an air of tension as eyes scanned each bank, eagerly searching for movement, for anything that would break the green lines of vegetation.
"There," de Souza said quietly, pointing to a low tree hanging over the water. "Underneath, asleep on the ground. You can see the tail twitching." The boatman lowered a makeshift anchor and the skiff drifted slowly back to a gap in the thick brush.
Everyone grabbed their cameras and binoculars, struggling to focus on the superbly camouflaged animal. Piercing the canopy, a beam of light highlighted the jaguar's flank, as a patch of his golden rosettes rose and fell with each breath. The torpid feline raised its huge head, yawned, and fixed the boat with a long, disinterested stare, eventually resuming his interrupted siesta.
With the popularity of Pantanal jaguar safaris on the increase, more tourism outfits are planning a move into the region. But seasonal flooding (from March to April in the north of the region and from July to August in the south) helps to limit human influence as it makes travel of any kind across the region difficult. The challenge now is to manage tourism and to persuade more ranchers to tolerate the presence of these big cats on their land. Can jaguars, cattle and ranchers all live side by side?
"I'm highly optimistic about jaguar conservation in the Pantanal," said Dr Howard Quigley, executive director of jaguar programs for Panthera, an American NGO that works to protect the world's most endangered big cats. "We are pushing, as are others, to set in place frameworks of communication and standards of human use that we hope will maintain the natural beauty of the region for a long time to come. If we can do this, then cats and cowboys both have a future in this amazing place."

Race, Class and Education (RLE Edu L)-
One problem which continues to absorb social scientists is the way in which so much social deprivation stems from racial or class status. The discussion in this book is developed in two ways: firstly, careful attention is given to an examination of the way minority groups create and maintain collective identities and action. Secondly, the relationship between this movement and such topics as racism in schools, schooling, unemployment and West Indian involvement in sporting rather than academic activities is analysed, together with the nature of the educational experience of different class and gender groups.

And then there's the other end of the spectrum: You may discover that you're harboring a bully in your home. This is something no parent wants to face, yet it's a real possibility. If you receive a call from school telling you that your child has been suspended for harassing a classmate, don't jump to the conclusion that this can't be true. Confront her, but be prepared for her to flap around like a fish on deck and blame everyone else. Regardless of her side of the story, don't minimize the seriousness of the accusation. Listen to the details. Then closely examine what goes on in your own home. Bullying isn't a congenital defect; it's learned behavior.
Only parents and other adults in charge of programs that serve kids and teens can prevent and correct bullying. Adults are responsible for teaching that clothing choices, physical features, manner of speech or sexual activity is no excuse to pick on others. And we must make a commitment to creating environments with a zero-tolerance policy for acts of bullying, harassment or sexual violence. In order to accomplish this, we first need to educate ourselves about the prevalence and severity of the problem and then keep a watchful eye on our kids. If you come to find that your child is bullying someone, let her know, in no uncertain terms, that this is unacceptable and find ways to make her accountable for her behavior. And if your kid tells you that other kids are picking on her at school and making her day a living hell, give her the benefit of the doubt and listen attentively. Take what she says seriously and make sure she knows you care. We all need to work together to end the behaviors that led Phoebe Prince and others like her to make a tragic and irrevocable choice.
