MEDICAL MARIJUANA: Peer-reviewed, scientific approach to a HIGHLY POLITICAL ISSUE.
Medical Marijuana is a popular subject in today's medical and political world. It is hotly debated in most states. Several states have completely legalized Marijuana for recreational and medical use. These states, Colorado and Washington, have already seen millions of tax dollars from the sale of this plant. The states are planning to use the new revenue to improve public schools and for educational programs, such as drug education. The states have many other uses planned with the new revenue stream. Many Americans use marijuana regardless of the law and end up costing the states many millions of dollars for incarceration. Incarceration for petty, non-violent "drug" offenders.
The United States has classified Marijuana in the same category as man-made drugs such as LSD, MDMA and Heroin. If it is so dangerous, where are all the stories of over-dose? The war on Marijuana started in the early 1930's, but during Impeached President Nixon's term, he started the War on Drugs, which has turned out to be a War on the Poor and a War on Minorities.
In Kansas and Oklahoma, the laws against marijuana are completely draconian. People can face decades in prison and millions in fines for using Cannabis and/or growing Cannabis!
Big pharmaceutical companies know the benefits but haven't figured out how to make money off of a plant that can be grown in your back yard. U.S. Patent # 201130059018 proves that pharmaceutical giants know the efficacy of this plant. Big pharmacy has developed several medications that resemble THC, but they are synthetic and do cause more side effects than the natural plant.
States that have a more bipartisan government seem to be more concerned about the health and welfare of their chronically ill population. These states have already enacted law for Medical Marijuana. Research indicates that the Southern States, the majority of which, are definitely DARK RED REPUBLICAN, interject religion and personal views in government instead of listening to the constituents. This disservice to the chronically ill patients keeps them from safely accessing a medicine that has been used for thousands of years effectively, with no deaths EVER reported from this plant. In cases where death occurred, the people were medicating themselves with many other drugs and alcohol as well. Mixing all of these different types of drugs can be deadly.
The Cannabis plant is not manufactured. The plant is naturally grown, harvested, dried and then, ready to go. The oils can be separated and used for pain relief, inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn's Disease, neuropathy associated with many diseases such as Diabetes and MS. PTSD, anxiety, depression and pain. It's efficacy and safety far outweigh its risks and side effects.
There are many more hospital emergency visits for perfectly legal, over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Data compiled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has linked as many as 980 deaths in a year to drugs containing acetaminophen. The death toll for marijuana in a recent study… ZERO deaths!
Marijuana or Cannabis, is last on the list related to deaths, with a BIG Death Toll of… wait for it… ZERO! This is because there are NO deaths directly related to using marijuana. Deaths from prescription drugs in America in one year… 38,000 deaths! These deaths are from FDA approved, doctor prescribed, medications.
There are phony stories floating around the internet, which indicate Colorado is having problems with Marijuana but these stories are all fictional. Colorado has reported no increased incidents involving Marijuana. Conservatives in these states are pushing against the new laws but the states are allowing their residents freedom to decide for themselves!
Now, there are people who use marijuana with other more dangerous drugs, like alcohol and cigarettes, that die from drug/alcohol use, but if one uses Marijuana responsibly to treat medical issues, the risk is almost 0%, unlike many prescription medications. Antibiotics kill more people every year. Aspirin kills more people every year. With any medicine, responsible use is paramount and one should always consult with their doctor before starting or stopping a prescribed medicine.
The science is tangible and real. The studies have been repeated and the same conclusions are made: Medical Marijuana's benefits far out-weigh its associated risks. It's time to set the weed free and let people make up their own minds. The War on Drugs has been a miserable failure and full of inaccurate information. This "war" has been waged against the poor and ethnically diverse populations of the United States. The War on Drugs has taken a huge toll on Americans and continues to do so. America imprisons more people than any other country. It is a BIG industry in America and getting bigger. America has a privatized prison system. Stocks are traded, bought and sold based on Americans being imprisoned. Something about this whole system is so Anti-American. It's time to stand up and take back our freedom!

"There is very little evidence that smoking marijuana as a means of taking it represents a significant health risk. Although cannabis has been smoked widely in Western countries for more than four decades, there have been NO reported cases of lung cancer or emphysema attributed to marijuana. I suspect that a day's breathing in any city with poor air quality poses more of a threat than inhaling a day's dose — which for many ailments is just a portion of a joint — of marijuana." ~ Lester Grinspoon, MD ~ Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry

Tifton -- Beef farmers say drought,a cattle shortage and increasing farm expenses are driving beef prices through the roof. Farmers say even with the price hike,they aren't seeing more money in their pockets.
During a time when consumers seem to be paying more for everything, when beef prices rose 15 % you'd think beef farmers would be happy.
"We are making a living but we are not profiting a lot," says beef researcher Travis Ingram.
Beef farmers say although the price of beef is up in stores. The prices have increased for them as well from everything from feed to fences.
"Prices are up on cattle, which is good a thing. But prices are also up on fuel, flavor, metal, wood cost, feed cost and fertilizer cost," says Ingram.
Travis Ingram is a beef researcher for the University of Georgia. He says the rising cost of raising cattle has seriously cut into recent profit gains.
High prices aren't unusual for the Spring but a recent shortage of cattle and no shortage of demand has keep prices soaring.
"A lot of it can be contributed to the Atkins diet and the protein diets. People are eating beef,"says Ingram.
But research being done at this farm hopes to control future beef prices.
Researchers are experimenting with more drought tolerant grass. Better feeds they hope will increase quality and create a ripple effect on lower overall cost raising steer.
"We are trying different feeds to get better feed conversation, we are researching more drought resistant grasses," says Ingram.
Researchers say they hope their findings will help make beef prices less volatile and keep consumers remember the answer the question What's for dinner?
Farmers say you can expect beef prices to drop during the Fall as more cattle are slaughtered.

RSS Feeds
RSS is an efficient way to get information quickly from the web. Basically, it drives information from the web directly to readers instead of forcing those readers to surf a list of bookmarked sites. Think of it as the difference between subscribing to a magazine and going out each month to buy that magazine at a newsstand.
For example, subscribers to the New York Times' RSS feed see a constantly updated list of the front-page stories on the Times' web site without having to visit the site itself. If they see a headline that looks interesting, they can simply click on it, and their web browser automatically opens the story.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. There are two halves that make it work: an RSS feed created by a website and a news aggregator program that reads that feed.
An RSS feed, sometimes called a web feed, is a text file containing a very specific format that is standard across the web.
To create an RSS feed, you should have a page on your website that contains a computer-scannable list of the latest items you've added. The information is tagged with special code that allows a news aggregator to interpret it much like a web browser interprets HTML code for a web page.
RSS feeds are written in a language called XML. If HTML creates web pages designed for humans to read, XML presents information in a way that's easy for other computers to read.
Every RSS feed file contains the following information, categorized with XML tags:
- Information about the feed, or "channel," itself. This can include the name of the feed ("My News Site's Headlines," for example), a link to its website ("http://www.mysite.com"), and a description of the topics the feed includes ("Breaking news headlines").
The code for that RSS file would look like this:
- <title>My News Site's Headlines</title>
- <link>http://mysite.com</link>
- <description>The latest news headlines about my community</description>
- A list of items - the links, pages or updates - that make up the feed. Each item needs, at the very least, a title and a link. Items can also include short text descriptions. If you were creating an RSS feed of stories for a news website, the title would be the story's headline, the link connects to the web page that contains the story, and the description might be the story's lead sentence or paragraph.
The code for a sample item in an RSS file would look like this:
- <item>
- <title>Parents, teachers clash at school board meeting</title>
- <link>http://mysite.com/news/schoolboard.html</link>
- <description>Teachers demanding higher salaries and parents complaining about higher school taxes engaged in a heated debate at last night's local school board meeting.</description>
- </item>
It's possible to create an RSS feed with nothing more than a text editor such as Notepad or BBEdit, just as you would any HTML file. There are plenty of tutorials like this one that will show you how. However, if you manually create an RSS feed, you'll have to go in and edit the file every time you need to update it with new information.
Many content management or blogging systems now create an RSS feed for you, automatically updating it with new items as you make changes and additions to the rest of your site.
News Aggregators
A news aggregator is a program designed to read, catalog and subscribe to RSS feeds. It's designed to interpret RSS feeds and display them to readers as lists of clickable headlines.
There are many different aggregator programs with varying features; some cost money and others are free. You can find a selection of news aggregators by searching such sites as Download.com (http://www.download.com). We've provided links to a few of the more prominent programs at the end of this chapter.
As users browse the web, they are increasingly seeing links inviting them to subscribe to an RSS feed. Many sites with RSS feeds display them with small orange "XML" buttons like this one:
When users click that button, they get the address of a site's RSS feed file. By entering that address into their aggregator - much like bookmarking a website in a browser - they subscribe to that feed. Every time readers open their aggregators, they'll see lists of that feed's latest items. Clicking on a headline in the list opens the reader's browser to the Web page with the full story.
Modern web browsers include the ability to easily subscribe to RSS feeds. Firefox allows users to create "Live Bookmarks" from RSS feeds. Apple's Safari and Microsoft's Internet Explorer automatically detects the presence of an RSS feed on a site and lets users read or subscribe to that feed at the click of a button.
The Advantages of RSS
RSS offers advantages to both website publishers and users:
- RSS increases efficiency. Readers can keep track of many more sites more quickly than they could by surfing through a list of bookmarked sites.
- RSS targets audiences. Readers get information that is tailored to their interests without having to wade through unwanted information on slow-loading websites.
- RSS adds value. Web publishers can automatically deliver the latest links to their readers without having to advertise.
- RSS promotes linking. When other sites use your RSS feed to display an updated list of your headlines, they drive readers to your site.

Forgetful? Fix It!
April 1, 2011 at 7:31 am , by Julie Bain
Renowned Baltimore neurologist and author Majid T. Fotuhi, M.D., a member of the LHJ Medical Advisory Board, shares his fun, creative and surprising tips to sharpen your memory and make your brain grow. Guess what beats crossword puzzles? Ballroom dancing!
Dr. Fotuhi is writing a new book with all the latest research on how to increase your brain power that should be out in early 2012. It's a follow-up to his popular The Memory Cure: How to Protect Your Brain Against Memory Loss and Alzheimer's Disease.
LHJ: Why do we start having trouble remembering things as we age?
MTF: The part of the brain used for short-term memory is called the hippocampus, and it's very sensitive to what's going on in your body. For example, stress, trauma and depression can all shrink the hippocampus. It's the first part of the brain to show signs of shrinkage. That's why people have problems with their short-term memory but don't forget how to ride a bike or cook.
LHJ: Yikes! We all have too much stress! What can we do to stop our brains from shrinking?
MTF: A major study published in 2010 showed that three months of aerobic exercise increases the size of the hippocampus enough that it can be seen by the naked eye on a brain scan.
LHJ: So if your hippocampus is bigger, does that mean it works better?
MTF: Yes. The single most important factor that determines who stays sharp and who develops dementia has to do with the size of the hippocampus.
LHJ: Okay, then. So how much do I have to exercise to get an enormous hippocampus?
MTF: Well, I'm planning to do studies to determine the optimum dose of aerobic exercise. But so far it appears that exercising at least three times a week for approximately 45 minutes seems to be in the hippocampus-growing zone.
LHJ: Okay, that's not crazy. That's doable.
MTF: You know, I've been in this field for 25 years and I find it astonishing that your brain can grow that much over a three-month period. If a drug could do that…
LHJ: They'd make billions! But it's not that easy to actually get people up off the couch, right?
MTF: But now that you know that you can see the difference in the size of your hippocampus and that determines whether you stay sharp or you lose your cognitive abilities, don't you have a much stronger incentive to get on a treadmill?
LHJ: Yes, yes I do. How vigorous does that 45 minutes of aerobic exercise have to be to get the job done? Do I have to be sweating, where I can barely talk, or could I be briskly walking around the neighborhood?
MTF: I think walking can do it. There was a study published in the Journal of Neurology in 2010 that showed that the more a person walked, the bigger was his or her hippocampus. And they determined that the optimal dose was walking about five to six miles a week. Other studies have shown that with more vigorous exercise—let's say, two hours of rigorous exercise three times a week versus 45 minutes of moderate exercise three times a week—the overall health benefit is only a little bit more. So we have to find out if the same is true for the hippocampus, and as I said, I'm working on that. I've just opened my Neurology Institute for Brain Health and Fitness in Baltimore, and my plan is to open branches in Washington D.C. and New York in the next two years. The goal is to increase people's physical and mental fitness in nine months and make their hippocampus bigger, as if they were three to five years younger.
LHJ: Besides exercise, what else can we do to keep our brain sharp?
MTF: Reduce stress. The longer you're stressed, the smaller your hippocampus. People with depression or post-traumatic stress disorder have a smaller hippocampus. But the good news is that once the depression or anxiety is treated, there's a reversal in the size of the hippocampus.
LHJ: It's amazing how plastic it is.
MTF: So I would say, just "chill." Put things in perspective and realize that as big as that deadline may appear to you, the world will not fall apart if you don't meet it.
LHJ: That's good advice. I'll tell my boss you said that.
MTF: And your boss should consider working a little less as well.
JB: What else should we be doing for our brains?
MTF: Eat a good healthy diet. The Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease between 40 and 50 percent. Don't get obese. Take an algal DHA supplement (meaning it comes from algae)—1,000 mg a day. Forty percent of the brain is composed of omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA, and people who take DHA on a regular basis are less likely to get dementia. And it helps with learning. One of the things we plan to do in our upcoming neurology institute is determine how much DHA you need to increase the size of your hippocampus.
JB: Are crossword puzzles good for our brains?
MTF: People who like to solve puzzles and problems in general often do well in the long run. I encourage an attitude of problem solving, like if something is broken in the kitchen. Say the timer on the microwave's not working. You can just bang on it and call someone to come fix it, or you can fiddle with it. Amuse yourself with it. Or if you have to figure out little mathematical calculations, don't just reach for your calculator; do it for the fun of it. Look for little mini challenges. Assemble that book case. The point is, if you use your brain in different ways throughout the day, you keep your brain in top condition. I often talk about how dancing is good for your brain, especially ballroom dancing.
LHJ: I heard that you and your wife were taking tango lessons, right?
MTF: Yes, we love tango. The Alzheimer's Association had a sort of Dancing with the Stars gala a couple of years ago, and we placed second in that competition. [That's Dr. Fotuhi and his gorgeous wife, Bita, left, dancing the tango to raise money for Alzheimer's.]
LHJ: Well, ballroom dancing is very much about memorization and learning steps and also the physical exercise, of course, so that makes perfect sense.
MTF: Right—this is an example of cross-training your brain because you're thinking about steps, you're strengthening the balance part of your brain and you're having fun. Plus, you're moving so you're pumping blood to your brain and that's really good.
The important thing is that you don't want to do the same thing all the time. If you play the same game every day or do a crossword every day, then you're not teasing and stimulating your brain as much. If you drive home the same way every day, you're not thinking about it. But if you try a different way, even if you get lost, you're teasing your brain in a good way. Or take a hike in the woods, identify plants and birds and insects. Find your way back. The brain has a lot of elasticity, and people who tease their brain all the time in different ways keep it in top condition.

This was a tremendously interesting article. I enjoyed it and learned something from it.
I am 73 and have always been fairly active, both physicaly and mentally all my life, but I find I am losing my short term memory. Although I take a miriad of suppliments morning and night,I will buy some DHA, take 1000 mg. per day and continue exercising at Curves. Maybe it's the DHA I am missing.

When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf [=wealth]And the world makes you king for a day,Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,And see what that man has to say.For it isnt your father or mother or wife,Whose judgment upon you must pass;The fellow whose verdict counts most in your lifeIs the one staring back from the glass.Hes the fellow to please, never mind all the rest.For hes with you clear up to the end,And youve passed the most dangerous, difficult testIf the man in the glass is your friend.You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum,And think youre a wonderful guy,But the man in the glass says youre only a bumIf you cant look him straight in the eye.You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years.And get pats on the back as you pass,But your final reward will be the heartaches and tearsIf youve cheated the man in the glass.
Out of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may beFor my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeonings of chanceMy head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the yearsFinds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll.I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.
What the Heart of the Young Man Said to the Psalmist "Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream ! For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real ! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal ; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way ; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle ! Be a hero in the strife ! Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant ! Let the dead Past bury its dead ! Act, act in the living Present ! Heart within, and God o'erhead ! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time ; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.
If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,Or being hated, don't give way to hating,And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same;If you can bear to hear the truth you've spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in youExcept the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Though wise men at their end know dark is right,Because their words had forked no lightning theyDo not go gentle into that good night.Good men, the last wave by, crying how brightTheir frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,Do not go gentle into that good night.Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sightBlind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.And you, my father, there on the sad height,Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.Do not go gentle into that good night.Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
My tower was grimly builded,With many a bolt and bar,And here, I thought, I will keep my lifeFrom the bitter world afar.Dark and chill was the stony floor,Where never a sunbeam lay,And the mould crept up on the dreary wall,With its ghost touch, day by day.One morn, in my sullen musings,A flutter and cry I heard;And close at the rusty casementThere clung a frightened bird.Then back I flung the shutterThat was never before undone,And I kept till its wings were restedThe little weary one.But in through the open window,Which I had forgot to close,There had burst a gush of sunshineAnd a summer scent of rose.For all the while I had burrowedThere in my dingy tower,Lo! the birds had sung and the leaves had dancedFrom hour to sunny hour.And such balm and warmth and beautyCame drifting in since then,That window still stands openAnd shall never be shut again.
Silent Nymph, with curious eye,Who the purple ev'ning lieOn the mountain's lonely van,Beyond the noise of busy man,Painting fair the form of things, [5]While the yellow linnet sings;Or the tuneful nightingaleCharms the forest with her tale;Come, with all thy various hues,Come, and aid thy sister Muse; [10]Now, while Phoebus, riding high,Gives lustre to the land and sky,Grongar Hill invites my song,Draw the landskip bright and strong;Grongar, in whose mossy cells, [15]Sweetly musing, Quiet dwells;Grongar, in whose silent shade,For the modest Muses made,So oft I have, the ev'ning still,At the fountain of a rill [20]Sate upon a flow'ry bed,With my hand beneath my head;While stray'd my eyes o'er Towy's flood,Over mead, and over wood,From house to house, from hill to hill, [25]'Till Contemplation had her fill.About his chequer'd sides I wind,And leave his brooks and meads behind,And groves, and grottos where I lay,And vistas shooting beams of day: [30]Wide and wider spreads the vale,As circles on a smooth canal:The mountains round, unhappy fate!Sooner or later, of all height,Withdraw their summits from the skies, [35]And lessen as the others rise:Still the prospect wider spreads,Adds a thousand woods and meads,Still it widens, widens still,And sinks the newly-risen hill. [40]Now, I gain the mountain's brow,What a landskip lies below!No clouds, no vapours intervene,But the gay, the open sceneDoes the face of nature show, [45]In all the hues of heaven's bow!And, swelling to embrace the light,Spreads around beneath the sight.Old castles on the cliffs arise,Proudly towering in the skies! [50]Rushing from the woods, the spiresSeem from hence ascending fires!Half his beams Apollo shedsOn the yellow mountain-heads!Gilds the fleeces of the flocks, [55]And glitters on the broken rocks!Below me trees unnumber'd rise,Beautiful in various dyes:The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,The yellow beech, the sable yew, [60]The slender fir, that taper grows,The sturdy oak, with broad-spread boughs;And, beyond, the purple grove,Haunt of Phyllis, queen of love!Gaudy as the op'ning dawn, [65]Lies a long and level lawn,On which a dark hill, steep and high,Holds and charms the wandering eye!Deep are his feet in Towy's flood,His sides are cloth'd with waving wood, [70]And ancient towers crown his brow,That cast an aweful look below;Whose ragged walls the ivy creeps,And with her arms from falling keeps;So both a safety from the wind [75]In mutual dependence find.'Tis now the raven's bleak abode;'Tis now the apartment of the toad;And there the fox securely feeds;And there the pois'nous adder breeds, [80]Conceal'd in ruins, moss, and weeds;While, ever and anon, there fallsHuge heap of hoary moulder'd walls.Yet time has seen, that lifts the low,And level lays the lofty brow, [85]Has seen this broken pile complete,Big with the vanity of state;But transient is the smile of Fate!A little rule, a little sway,A sunbeam in a winter's day, [90]Is all the proud and mighty haveBetween the cradle and the grave.And see the rivers how they runThro' woods and meads, in shade and sun!Sometimes swift, sometimes slow, [95]Wave succeeding wave, they goA various journey to the deep,Like human life to endless sleep!Thus is nature's vesture wrought,To instruct our wand'ring thought; [100]Thus she dresses green and gay,To disperse our cares away.Ever charming, ever new,When will the landskip tire the view!The fountain's fall, the river's flow, [105]The woody valleys, warm and low:The windy summit, wild and high,Roughly rushing on the sky!The pleasant seat, the ruin'd tow'r,The naked rock, the shady bow'r; [110]The town and village, dome and farm,Each give each a double charm,As pearls upon an Ethiop's arm.See on the mountain's southern side,Where the prospect opens wide, [115]Where the evening gilds the tide;How close and small the hedges lie!What streaks of meadows cross the eye!A step, methinks, may pass the stream,So little distant dangers seem: [120]So we mistake the Future's face,Ey'd thro' Hope's deluding glass:As yon summits soft and fair,Clad in colours of the air,Which to those who journey near, [125]Barren, brown, and rough appear;Still we tread the same coarse way;The present's still a cloudy day.O may I with myself agree,And never covet what I see: [130]Content me with an humble shade,My passions tam'd, my wishes laid;For while our wishes wildly roll,We banish quiet from the soul:'Tis thus the busy beat the air; [135]And misers gather wealth and care.Now, ev'n now, my joys run high,As on the mountain-turf I lie:While the wanton Zephyr sings,And in the vale perfumes his wings; [140]While the waters murmur deep;While the shepherd charms his sheep;While the birds unbounded fly,And with music fill the sky,Now, ev'n now, my joys run high. [145]Be full, ye courts; be great who will;Search for Peace with all your skill:Open wide the lofty door,Seek her on the marble floor:In vain ye search, she is not there: [150]In vain ye search the domes of Care!Grass and flowers Quiet treads,On the meads, and mountain-heads,Along with Pleasure, close ally'd,Ever by each other's side: [155]And often, by the murm'ring rill,Hears the thrush, while all is still,Within the groves of Grongar Hill.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.As far as possible, without surrender,be on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even to the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story.Avoid loud and aggressive persons;they are vexatious to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain or bitter,for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs,for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals,and everywhere life is full of heroism.Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love,for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,it is as perennial as the grass.Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.You are a child of the universeno less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be.And whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life,keep peace in your soul.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
"Dane-Geld(AD 980-1016)It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation To call upon a neighbour and to say: --"We invaded you last night--we are quite prepared to fight, Unless you pay us cash to go away."And that is called asking for Dane-geld, And the people who ask it explainThat you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld And then you'll get rid of the Dane!It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation, To puff and look important and to say: --"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you. We will therefore pay you cash to go away."And that is called paying the Dane-geld; But we've proved it again and again,That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld You never get rid of the Dane.It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation, For fear they should succumb and go astray;So when you are requested to pay up or be molested, You will find it better policy to say: --"We never pay any-one Dane-geld, No matter how trifling the cost;For the end of that game is oppression and shame, And the nation that pays it is lost!"
since feeling is firstwho pays any attentionto the syntax of things will never wholly kiss you;wholly to be a fool while spring is in the worldmy blood approves,and kisses are a better fate than wisdom lady i swear by all flowers. don't cry-- the best gesture of my brianis less than thy eyelids' flutterwhich says we are for each other: thenlaugh, leaning back in my armsfor life's not a paragraphand death i think is no parenthesis.
1. He did not wear his scarlet coat, For blood and wine are red, And blood and wine were on his hands When they found him with the dead, The poor dead woman whom he loved, And murdered in her bed. He walked amongst the Trial Men In a suit of shabby grey; A cricket cap was on his head, And his step seemed light and gay; But I never saw a man who looked So wistfully at the day. I never saw a man who looked With such a wistful eye Upon that little tent of blue Which prisoners call the sky, And at every drifting cloud that went With sails of silver by. I walked, with other souls in pain, Within another ring, And was wondering if the man had done A great or little thing, When a voice behind me whispered low, "That fellow's got to swing." Dear Christ! the very prison walls Suddenly seemed to reel, And the sky above my head became Like a casque of scorching steel; And, though I was a soul in pain, My pain I could not feel. I only knew what hunted thought Quickened his step, and why He looked upon the garish day With such a wistful eye; The man had killed the thing he loved And so he had to die. Yet each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! Some kill their love when they are young, And some when they are old; Some strangle with the hands of Lust, Some with the hands of Gold: The kindest use a knife, because The dead so soon grow cold. Some love too little, some too long, Some sell, and others buy; Some do the deed with many tears, And some without a sigh: For each man kills the thing he loves, Yet each man does not die. He does not die a death of shame On a day of dark disgrace, Nor have a noose about his neck, Nor a cloth upon his face, Nor drop feet foremost through the floor Into an empty place He does not sit with silent men Who watch him night and day; Who watch him when he tries to weep, And when he tries to pray; Who watch him lest himself should rob The prison of its prey. He does not wake at dawn to see Dread figures throng his room, The shivering Chaplain robed in white, The Sheriff stern with gloom, And the Governor all in shiny black, With the yellow face of Doom. He does not rise in piteous haste To put on convict-clothes, While some coarse-mouthed Doctor gloats, and notes Each new and nerve-twitched pose, Fingering a watch whose little ticks Are like horrible hammer-blows. He does not know that sickening thirst That sands one's throat, before The hangman with his gardener's gloves Slips through the padded door, And binds one with three leathern thongs, That the throat may thirst no more. He does not bend his head to hear The Burial Office read, Nor, while the terror of his soul Tells him he is not dead, Cross his own coffin, as he moves Into the hideous shed. He does not stare upon the air Through a little roof of glass; He does not pray with lips of clay For his agony to pass; Nor feel upon his shuddering cheek The kiss of Caiaphas. 2. Six weeks our guardsman...
But now I am afraid I know too much to kill myselfThough I would still like to jump off a high bridgeAt midnight, or paddle a kayak out to seaUntil I turn into a speck, or wear a necktie made of knotted ropeBut people would squirm, it would hurt them in some way,And I am too knowledgeable now to hurt people imprecisely.No longer do I live by the law of me,No longer having the excuse of youth or craziness,And dying you know shows a serious ingratitudeFor sunsets and beehive hairdos and the precious green corrugatedPickles they place at the edge of your plate.Killing yourself is wasteful, like spilling oilAt sea or not recycling all the kisses you've been given,And anyway, who has clothes nice enough to be caught dead in?Not me. You stay alive you stupid assholeBecause you haven't been excused,You haven't finished though it takes a mulish stubbornnessTo chew this food.It is a stone, it is an inconvenience, it is an innocence,And I turn against it like a recordTurns against the needleThat makes it play.

Hi all
My friend and I are going to South America in May, we are flying into Sao Paulo and would like to spend a few days in Rio. We are planning on heading up to Campo Grande to visit the Pantanal and going to Bolivia from there. Just want some advice because we want to go to Igazu falls and I didnt know if it was a better option to go Sao Paulo Rio Sao Paulo Igazu Campo Grande or to go to Igazu when we are in Buenos Aires/Argentina a few months later?
Also is it easy to get to Campo Grande from Igazu and/or Rio?
Any help would be very much appreciated!!

This week on "You Gotta Eat", Mac is dining light....sort of.
It's a visit to Sweet Cece's in Peoria.
Sweet CeCe's is located in Junction City. The franchise operation run locally by the Yoder family has been open a couple of months now.
Alyssa Yoder was on hand when we dropped in. She said the family got interested in the franchise through a sister who went to college in Nashville, Tennessee.
"And we were like, we didn't know anything about frozen yogurt, so we went down there to check it out," said Yoder.
We said last week we were going to try and eat...healthier...here on You Gotta Eat. Like yogurt. With gummy bears and chocolate peanut M & M's.
"Well, it's all on what you put on it," said Yoder. "You can make it as healthy as you want. Or you can make it not as healthy".
Well, you can guess which option I chose. First step: choose your base flavor.
"We have 72 different flavors, and they rotate every week," said Yoder. "We will always have a chocolate, vanilla and the original tart. And, we'll always have a sorbet and a sugar-free option."
And yes, I added chocolate M&M's and a little caramel.
Doug, on the other hand, tried to be a little healthy and mixed chocolate and vanilla and added some fresh fruit. And some sprinkles and whipped cream. And it was very good, thank you.
(OK, we're being a little silly here.)
We could have eaten a lot healthier here, if we had chosen the proper options. And that's what Sweet Cece's is: an option, an alternative for lunch to going through the fast food drive-through, or eying that big bag of potato chips on your desk.
Our bill was $12.54. Sweet CeCe's is soon to open another shop in Campustown near Bradley University.

"Dr. Pants gained my love by introducing their drummer as Disco Pony. Their power-pop did even more to gain my love once they started singing about young men who love John Cusack (guilty), bearded hipsters (guilty), Firefly references (guilty), donuts (guilty) and ironic rapping (guilty). This band seems as if it were scientifically engineered for me to like it. Their power-pop tunes split the difference between Fountains of Wayne and Weezer, albeit with ironic rapping every now and then."

Dr. Pants have been going for quite a while now, managing to boast a pretty much flawless discography, and I think I have reviewed each of the previous releases up to this point. This is by far their best effort, but it is just a small piece of the puzzle. The band has decided to take on an immense project, the recording of twenty songs, by splitting it into four EP releases. There aren't many indie bands who decide to do the equivalent of a double album, but by splitting it into four subsets and releasing each as it's own entity, the band may be on to something. That is artistic vision defined. It's been said, "Always leave the audience wanting for more." Done. Well done.
"A full double album can be a little overwhelming to take in at once," bandleader and vocalist David Broyles said. "For the moment, it seems like music is moving toward being digested in smaller chunks."
"I liked the idea that the small chunk emphasizes you were listening to one side of the album, almost like a double-sided vinyl record," he said. "There's a little regard for the now and what happened in the past."
Before I get into specifics, let me tell you how absolutely addictive "The Trip, Side 1: Illusion & Truth" is. The song "Hipster Kids/Sexy Beards" is but one example. It's a song that will figuratively grab you, tie you down, beat you silly, hit on your sister, eat your lunch, steal your milk money and then have you begging for more. "Instant Insanity" provides more of the same. But while "Hipster/Sexy" does it with it's ironic and engaging lyrics, "Instant Insanity" has this amazing, ethereal bridge that is as scintillating as it is dreamy. The whole song has an almost late-1960s, electrified folk and psychedelic feel to it, reminiscent of bands like The Byrds and Fairport Convention, complete with a distorted, fuzzy guitar sound that is for lack of a better phrase, a total jam. At a time when artists are pioneering formats and new technologies, where uncharted genres emerge and transform and styles are ever-evolving, sometimes it's nice to take a step back and remind yourself how equally powerful a retrospective nod to the past can be.
Moreover, "Instant Insanity" showcases the individual band members by allowing them to explore their musical passions within the band. Examples include stabs of grinding guitar, weaving contemporary bass, emotive vocals and incendiary layering. This can be attributed to the longevity of the band itself and its cognizance of what works in the studio as well as in post-production. Dr. Pants demonstrates a comfortable relationship, and this song may be the turning point where the band takes that next step from being a very good band to a stunningly great one.
Having successfully assimilated and channeled the late 1960s on "Instant Insanity," the band gets back to more of a traditional Dr. Pants sound on the songs "Gas Planet" and "Bowling With A Genius." Both are full of sweeping flourishes and the kind of intellectual irony that David C Broyles could probably patent by now. Propulsive, with rich arrangements and driving, persistent chord patterns, both are among Broyles' best work to date. On "Bowling With A Genius", the band again nails the bridge. "Gas Planet" has that howling bass line that we grew to know and love on "Bootyfest" and in fact provides the perfect segue to "The Trip" from the band's previous release, "The Cusack-Loggins EP" as well as a step forward musically.
"The Trip" is everything you'd expect and more from a band that describes it's musical style as Nerd Power Groove Rock. Does it get better than this? If so, as fans, we are in for a real treat, because we are still owed sides 2,3 and 4 of the aptly titled "The Trip." It will be interesting to see where David C Broyles et al take this project from here, and where the band takes us. So far, the first leg of the itinerary has been wonderfully enjoyable.

About The Band:
Dr. Pants is David Broyles, Dustin Ragland, Kenneth Murray and Aaron Vasquez. They are the purveyors of a style known as NERD POWER GROOVE ROCK; Weezer and Beck made a baby with Phish, and that baby is Dr. Pants. These four musicians currently find themselves in the midst of THE TRIP; a double album that they are releasing as four separate EPs. In other words, Dr. Pants are giving the world a double album, one side at a time. THE TRIP, SIDE 1: ILLUSION & TRUTH is set for release on June 7.
Dr. Pants is the brainchild of guitarist/vocalist/composer David Broyles. With a songwriting style that borrowed initially from the Beatles, R.E.M. and They Might Be Giants, David's first musical ventures took shape in OKC in the early 90′s, when he started releasing self-produced cassettes and playing acoustic shows in local coffeehouses. After moving to Santa Fe, NM for college in 1993, David established himself in the Santa Fe coffeehouse scene.
After releasing three more self-produced cassettes in college, and returning to OKC in the fall of 1999, David became much more focused on working with a band and thus, Dr. Pants was born. FEEZLE DAY, the debut Dr. Pants CD, was unleashed in 2000. Towards the end of 2001, David put Dr. Pants on hiatus, since all the other original members had departed, but resurrected it in 2004. Recording of the album GARDENING IN A TORNADO commenced immediately, as well as a return to the stage with new members Kenneth Murray (guitar), Aaron Vasquez (bass) and Dustin Ragland (drums). Containing 13 songs that (mostly) found Broyles returning to his songwriting roots, the album was finally released in 2006. At the end of 2007, GARDENING was named one of Music Connection's top 25 "demo" recordings of the year. Numerous tracks from the album were also licensed by MTV and featured during broadcasts of "Next" and "Sex…With Mom & Dad." Most recently, however, many of the songs from GARDENING have been heard on the pop culture phenomenon known as "Jersey Shore." The song "Donuts" was also heard on "CBS Sunday Morning." In 2008, Dr. Pants released THE CUSACK-LOGGINS EP. Then, in 2010, the band became one of the first acts to have their music video shot entirely on the iPhone 4. Directed by Kyle Roberts, the resulting clip for "Sarsaparilla Girl" has garnered over 58,000 views on YouTube.
And now, in 2011, Dr. Pants has given us THE TRIP. THE TRIP is just that: a musical journey through two complete albums worth of music. "I set out to write music that told a story, or many stories, and truly reflected all the aspects of a life," says Broyles. "Whether real or imaginary, fantastic or mundane, these are stories, emotions and songs that continue to fascinate, entertain and move me."

I found this photo and obituaries for Julia Ann Corel Myers and Willis Myers on Find A Grave on July 24, 2009. Corel Cousin Bobby Dobbins Title had added the obituaries, and Find A Grave member, June, had added the photo. I am currently working on a page for Julia and Willis, so I will not share a story about them on this Tombstone Tuesday. I have gotten caught up in Willis' Civil War service, but I hope to have the page for this couple completed within the next week.
I will share, that from what I have read, I can imagine that Julia and Willis met before the war broke out, while Julia was visiting her aunt Cosby Jane Corel Justice or perhaps her aunt Nancy Maryland Corel LaHay. After the death of Julia's parents, Henry Highland Corel and Nancy Matney, sister Margaret lived with aunt Nancy Maryland and sister Louisa lived with aunt Cosby Jane. Both aunts lived in close proximity to China Campbell Myers Yates and Abel Yates, mother and step father of Willis Myers.
Willis and his brother, Williamson Silas Myers, both enlisted in military service on July 13, 1861 for 3 year terms. By March 1862, when the 9th Kansas Cavalry was officially organized, both brothers had been promoted to Corporal in Company A of this regiment. No evidence of a muster out date has been found for Willis, but it is likely that he mustered out with his brother and the rest of Company A on November 19, 1864 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. I can envision the joy that Julia must have felt upon Willis' return from the war. The couple surely must have been deeply in love, as they were married just over a month later on December 27, 1864.
Friday, September 25, 1903
Willis Myers, one of the old time residents of Chetopa, died at Welch, I.T. Monday, September 22, aged 65 years. The body was brought to Chetopa Wednesday and was interred in Oak Hill Cemetery, Rev. J. R. McFadden conducting the service at the grave. Mr. Myers left a widow and four children, Ed Myers, Nevada, Missouri; Mrs. Will Columbia, Chetopa; Mrs. Roqua Milner, Ardmore, I.T.; and Mrs. Gertrude Crotty, Butler, Missouri.
Thursday, October 16, 1930
Mrs. Julia Anne Myers, aged 86 years, 8 months and 19 days, died Tuesday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Columbia. She is survived by one son, E.W. Myers of Nevada, Missouri, three daughters, Mrs. Columbia, Mrs. Charles Milner of Ardmore, Oklahoma, and Mrs. John Crotty of Nevada, Missouri, eight grandchildren. Funeral services were held at the home yesterday afternoon, Rev. Harry Weed officiating and burial being in Oak Hill Cemetery. The son and one daughter, Mrs. Milner, were unable to be present on account of illness. Mr. Myers died September 20, 1893.
Julia Anne Correll was born January 25, 1944, in Wheeling, W. Virginia. When she was 5 years old she moved with her parents to Lawrence, Kansas, where she grew to womanhood. December 27, 1864, she was married to Willis Myers at Lawrence. To this union were born five children, one of whom died in infancy. Mrs. Myers was a member of the Christian Church and active in its service until a few years ago. She was a charter member but demitted April 2, 1887, after she moved to Chetopa.

Endorsement in Environmental Education
The Center for Environmental Education at Murray State University was the first program in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to offer an endorsement in environmental education.
However, prior to receiving their approval for an endorsement program, MSU offered a less extensive 'specialization in environmental education.' Even during the earlier specialization program, several notable individuals have received training through The Center for Environmental Education, like:
- Ann Wright, former Director of the Land Between the Lakes, Tennessee Valley Authority;
- Nancy Theiss, first woman to direct the education division, Kentucky Division of Fish and Wildlife Resources;
- Tim Kempf, CEO of Adventure Experiences, Houston, Texas
These persons are examples of how the earlier specialization in environmental education, a less formalized approach that preceded the EE Endorsement, has already served many individuals.
Who Should Seek the Endorsement
The EE Endorsement has the purpose of providing individuals interested in environmental education the opportunity to have training that meets national standards developed by the North American Association for Environmental Education. This endorsement allows persons with a teaching certificate to add this to their teaching certificate.
Individuals interested in being leaders in environmental education in their school system or their classroom would benefit by taking courses that culminate in the endorsement in environmental education. Having the endorsement in environmental education signifies an achievement in the field and recognizes that certain requirements have been accomplished.
When May A Person Take the Endorsement in EE?
Any elementary, middle school, secondary, and special education major that has their initial teaching certificate may take the endorsement at any one of the following levels:
- Master's Degree
- Fifth Year Program
- Rank I Level
- As a separate program just for the purpose of completing the endorsement
What two courses are required for the Endorsement in EE and when are they offered?
EDU 515 Introduction to Environmental Education – Offered Fall Semester
EDU 664 Techniques of Teaching Environmental Education – Offered Spring Semester
What other classes are offered that would complete the Endorsement in Environmental Education and when are they offered?
EDU 665 Field Experiences in Environmental Education – Offered Summer (June)
EDU 668 Agriculture and the Environment in the Classroom – Offered Summer (May/June)
EDU 667 Environmental Education in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland – Offered in conjunction with the Kentucky Institute for International Studies – Summer (July)
EDU 663: Workshops in Environmental Education–Offered in the Fall and Spring of each year with specific topics such as: (a) The Arts and the Humanities in the Environment, (b) Photography, (c) Digital Photography, (d) Project EASE ,and numerous other topics.
(Remember you are only permitted to take nine hours or three courses of
EDU 663, workshops. If you have questions about this please do not hesitate
to contact us)
What if I do not want to take the endorsement in environmental education? What other option is there for me if I want to take environmental education classes?
Graduate students may take environmental education classes as a collection of courses to meet individual needs within a personal or professional development program, to fill a specific set of skills, or to meet elective requirements.

My wife wanted one, so I begrudgingly made it. You're welcome.
That was going to be all, but apparently this must be 75 words long, so now I'm just typing things to fill up space. Holy cow, I'm only at 41 words. That's barely halfway home. This is hard because I have absolutely nothing to say, I was just trying to post a wallpaper. Wait, I think I'm at 75 words right now!

Welcome to Malabo
A welcome address by HE President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo,
President of Equatorial Guinea
Within days of the opening of the Third Summit of Heads of State of the countries of Africa and South America, I wish to send, in my capacity of President of the Republic and head of State, my best wishes for the success of the meetings, while I wish a warm welcome to Malabo and fraternal hospitality in our country, to all my colleagues and all the delegations participating in the Third ASA Summit, scheduled to take place in the new city of Sipopo, from 20 to 23 February 2013.
The process of political dialogue initiated in the first and second summits of ASA, held in 2006 in Abuja, Nigeria, and in 2009 in Margarita Island, Venezuela, respectively, represents an important step in the implementation of the principles of South-South cooperation among the States of Africa and South America. Both continents have a common history and destiny, which was the base for the creation of this important forum with the need to encourage and strengthen a close and effective South-South cooperation in areas of common interest.
A welcome address by HE Agapito Mba Mokuy, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Equatorial Guinea
SIPOPO, the emblematic new city in the District of Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, will house, from the 20 to 23 of February, 2013, the Third summit of the Head of States of the Africa – South America forum (ASACOF). On this memorable occasion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation is pleased to welcome to Equatorial Guinea all the delegations of the member countries of the Forum, observers, special guests, and all others who directly and indirectly support the objectives of this forum.
ASACOF is a bi-regional forum for exchange and cooperation in the political, socio-economic and cultural areas between States and peoples of the South, its objective being the closer ties of brotherhood among these peoples, and to cooperate for their sustainable development, while respecting their sovereignty, independence and self-determination.
The objectives of the ASACOF are endorsed by the Government of Equatorial Guinea since they circumscribe fully with the new dynamics of its foreign policy towards the horizon 2020, which has, among its main axes, the systematic and progressive drive towards an open Equatorial Guinea with the outside world, and preferential treatment to the particular historic ties with the countries of the " Hispanic community of Nations".

From the commandant
By Brig. Gen. David G. Fox
Originally published in the January-February 2013 edition of Special Warfare
Throughout the month of November, the Philippines dominated international news; not for the hard won success of its government to combat violent extremist organizations and transnational
terrorists, but rather for Typhoon Haiyan, the mega storm that wreaked havoc on the country's central region.
While reading about the storm, you probably didn't read about the efforts of the men and women of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command to open airfields and get aid to the people
in the affected region. But they were there, quietly, professionally going about their jobs, just as they have been for the past 12 years operating under the auspices of Joint Special Operations Task
JSOTF-P, which was established by Special Operations Command-Pacific in July 2002, has as its mission support to the Armed Forces of the Philippines as they wage their war against terrorism.
Prior to the establishment of JSOTF-P, members of the U.S. Special Operations Command operated under the auspices of Joint Task Force 510.
The mission of JSOTF-P, which operates at the request of the Government of the Philippines, is to work alongside the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police and other designated units to defeat terrorists and create the conditions necessary for peace, stability
and prosperity in the Southern Philippines.
Over the past decade, the men and women of JSOTF-P have done a magnificent job in fulfilling the mission, making it one of the most successful unconventional warfare missions of this century. It has occurred without much fanfare, but rather with the determination and hard work of the U.S. advisers working in the area.
In this issue of Special Warfare, you will not only read about the success of JSOTF-P, you will also read about the larger role of the 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) in the PACOM area of operations. The Soldiers of the 1st SFG(A) have spent the past decade quietly conducting missions in countries throughout their AOR. They have remained tied to the historical role of Special Forces, advising and assisting our partner nations, and in doing so have developed a strong understanding of the unique cultures of the countries within their region.
Far from the flagpole, the 1st SFG(A) has embraced its historic lineage and serves as a stabilizing force in the Pacific realm, supporting our partners and building relationships with developing countries throughout the region.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
It's super easy and only takes a single sheet of cardstock-weight patterned paper. Embellishing with a die cut, letter pressed tag exponentially ups the cute factor!
Using a piece of 11" x 11" cardstock (or cardstock weight patterned paper) and your paper trimmer along with a scoring tool, make vertical score marks at the 2 ½", 5", 7 ½" and 10" measurements. Turn your paper 90 degrees and make one score mark at the 2 ½" measurement.
Fold along ALL scored markings and cut away the 1" x 2 ½" piece in the lower corner and discard.
Then, cut along the 2 ½" score lines to cut the flaps loose.
Place adhesive on one bottom flap and adhere to the flap immediate adjacent. Continue to overlap and adhere until all 4 bottom flap pieces are adhered.
Before adhering the last flap, place adhesive on the 1" strip, tuck to the inside and pinch to adhere, making a tall cube open on the top.
Fill gift bag with desired findings or treats, then tuck in 2 sides and pinch closed at the top. Use a hole-punch to punch holes in the top of the treat bag.
Using the Fuse Creativity System® to create a gift tag embellishment for your bag. Punch a hole in the top of the tag.
String ribbon through the holes, thread tag onto ribbon and tie in a bow. Embellish as desired.
