Horses as Healers
"Rusty, I promise to keep you safe and I need you to keep me safe, and if I make a mistake I want you to forgive me, and if you make a mistake I will forgive you."
If you overheard this conversation, you might think that Rusty and this person have a trusting relationship. They do. Yet, there's something you should know about why this connection's so special.
Rusty is a horse.
Equine-assisted therapy as it's formally known today has been around for 20 years. As with any counseling mode it isn't helpful for all people, but it has given many people a real, honest insight about themselves that might not have been revealed otherwise.
Animals as Natural Therapy (ANT) operates at Windy Acres, a former dairy farm, nestled beside the Queen and King mountains in Bellingham, Washington. Upon arrival, you're greeted by a menagerie of sights and sounds. Horses nudge each other vying for the first mouthful of hay. Juan, the banty rooster, crows with his squeaky little voice. The contagious giggle of an 8 year old spills into the arena as Patriot softly tickles her cheek with his long whiskers.
People who come to ANT think they are coming to learn about horses; this is often their only goal. But ultimately they learn about themselves.
As prey animals that have roamed and survived this planet for thousands of years, horses have a finely tuned intuition that can reflect a person's emotional state at any given moment. This gift allows us two-legged humans to become aware of our own emotions that we might not have noticed. Too often our culture has taught us not to feel or emote so we don't upset anyone. The horses—by mirroring emotions—remind us that emotions aren't good or bad. They just are.
A large percentage of ANT's visitors—adults, veterans, teenagers, children—have anger issues. Many youth have turned to drugs or self-harm to push emotions further away, suspending any feelings. Remarkably, I don't witness much anger at the farm. What I often witness is frustration.
The other day I was working with a teen and Moonshadow. Moonshadow wasn't interested in leaving her herd, much less her pile of hay. And you can't move a horse that is unwilling to move. Moonshadow planted all 4 feet and 1200lbs in resistance. I asked Mike (name changed) if he is like this with his mom. He said, "Yes, and by now I would be angry." We promised Moonshadow a hay bag while we brushed her, and she began to move with us. I asked Mike, "What will it take for your Mom to get you peacefully out of bed tomorrow?" He wasn't sure, but a seed was planted.
We have seen our horses reach a place in the human heart that more traditional therapies may not have touched. Patriot puts his muzzle on a young person's chest, and she starts to open up about her pain, letting healing into her darkness. People of all ages can be seen walking beside their horse partner in the arena, telling their story, sometimes spilling their guts without interruption—or judgment.
My role is to be an observer and ask questions from a non-judgmental place. I also interpret the horse's body language, noticing and drawing attention to the horse's response to an individual's actions or reactions.
Often times we hold our breath when our anxiety rises. A horse knows that just before a predator pounces they hold their breath. I have personally concluded this is why I have heard of people who get hurt during their first riding experience—the horse felt a "cougar" on its back. When a client feels anxious, I suggest singing or humming a familiar song, and to check in on his anxiety level using a scale of 1 to 10—"1" is totally relaxed after a peaceful night's sleep and "10" is watching a really scary movie. By simply acknowledging the anxiety, a person becomes less anxious. Horse and human begin to relax, and trust builds.
So, how might this translate to students in our schools? Equine therapy can help struggling students by giving them the confidence to be seen and heard without hiding behind a facade. Learning how to walk in partnership with a 1000 lb horse gives people the self-confidence to see themselves as leaders. Oftentimes a horse will pull a youth to a patch of grass, and I'll ask, "Do you want to be a strong leader and set a boundary, or are you going to let that horse take you for a walk?"
I also cannot say enough about the power of meaningful relationships. Counselor to young person. Teacher to student. Parent to child. We all have an inherent desire to be seen and heard by someone—even the most shut down, angry individual has this need. And we all need to feel we have something valuable to contribute.
My dream job at ANT allows me to work with kids and horses—two of my favorite things in the world. Horses add an element of surprise and inquisitiveness that I couldn't possibly create on my own. I see youth feeling empowered— or at least asking questions of themselves—tuning into the glimmer of insight they now have into their true authentic self.
At the end of each day, preteens thru adults leave ANT with a fresh outlook and a less heavy heart. The younger ones leave with good dose of joy and a new sense of confidence. All leave with a greater feeling of hope. Including me.
Full Value Contract
Many of you may have contracts with your students. Contracts are valuable because they are a mutual agreement created by and adhered to by both parties. The Full Value Contract was created for use in outdoor courses like Ropes and Outward Bound, and is an important principle in adventure-based counseling.
At Animals as Natural Therapy, we use our own version of the Full Value Contract with all of our clients— individuals and groups. It gives us a common language and a point of reference to keep each other moving in a positive, and physically and emotionally safe environment. When each person signs the contract they add a gift they bring like compassion, humor, or knowledge.
Principle One: I will keep myself and others physically and emotionally safe.
Physical and emotional safety provides a foundation for participants to be free and to be vulnerable—making them open to lessons from their equine partners. By learning to recognize and name their present physical and emotional state, clients establish and strengthen boundaries necessary for a harmonious relationship with each other and their horses.
Looks like: Horses are kept at least two horse lengths apart. People move calmly among the horses, using quiet voices. Riders wear boots and helmet. People are respectful toward each other, avoiding put downs, name calling, or blaming yourself, your horse, volunteers, or staff.
- Principle Two: I will give and receive respectful feedback.
Respectful feedback is helpful communication. It may be in the form of a statement or question. We use respectful feedback to keep each other safe.
Looks like: At the end of each session, each person expresses what went well (or not) about the day. Telling a fellow participant or leader, "I am afraid, and I need help cleaning my horse's hooves."
- Principle Three: I agree to work as a team.
Teamwork is essential in a smoothly running society, and the farm is a great place to practice. Teamwork also requires communicating clearly. Knowledge is shared and respected—regardless of the source—building trust and cohesiveness.
Looks like: Opening a gate for someone whose hands are full. Two people working together to move a 45-pound saddle from the tack room and lifting it onto the horse's back. An experienced participant training new volunteers how to groom or massage their horses.

1. Use a mix of AB and ABarr when MBarr doesn't proc.
2. I use it when starting a burn phase for the 15% crit buff on 4-stack AB's during arcane power.
3. Flame orb procs Mbarr, and so by using it after a burn/evocate, you can get chain MBarr procs to allow you to get back to full mana.
4. Stack AB and use Arcane Explosion. Arcane explosion receives the same damage buff as AB and does not consume the buff. Recommend speccing into 2/2 Improved Arcane Explosion. You can do 3-4 arcane explosions (based on haste) then cast AB to keep your 4 stack. Also, the threat drop is very useful.
5. The exact stat values are highly gear dependent. I recommend using a program such as http://elitistjerks.com/rawr.php to find out what is optimum for you.
6. Time your burst in relation to cooldowns. I typically find myself starting a burn as mana gem comes off cooldown from my previous burn phase. If your trinkets are on CD or about to be, I might delay a few seconds to try and proc during burn.
7. I would advise you to use rawr, as linked in #5. If you are using two on-use trinkets, the moonwell chalice does not play well with them and I would advise against it. Otherwise, use a simulation program to optimize your character.
8. Any DPS > no dps. I use Abarr and Ice Lance as my preferred movement spells. Use the glyph of Arcane Power and blink to help with movement. I would also burn even without CD's. It isn't optimum, but those CD's won't be up again until your next burn phase, and ABx4 is much more dps than conservation, even without CD's.

Saturday Science Links: December 6, 2014
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Scientists have found multiple lines of evidence for evolution, not just one or two. These types of evidence are independent of each other, coming from sources as different as ancient fossils and modern genetics labs. Evidence also comes from comparing the anatomy of creatures living today. All creatures with four limbs (whether mammals, birds, or reptiles) have the same bone structure in each limb, pointing to their descent from a common ancestor. More evidence comes from biogeography. Isolated islands are missing common species found on the mainland, but are filled with many unique species that can be related by a common ancestor. Finally, evidence comes from embryonic development. As an embryo of a mammal grows, its heart develops through stages similar to fish, amphibians, and reptiles. God's creation declares the history of life in many different ways. All these ways are pointing to a consistent picture of God creating through evolution.
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.

US VS UK, Round Two...
14 comments:
- Eli said...
Oo! I can't decide which I like better with Shiver... they are both fantastic looking! I agree with your choice for Along for the Ride. Great finds Taschima-chaaaan! <3
- August 02, 2009 8:52 pm
- The Book Explorer said...
Oooh! I like how different the U.K. version of Along for the Ride is, though I like the US version better.
I like the US for Shiver too. =) The blue makes me happy~
Kissed by an Angel... I think I like the UK better.
- August 02, 2009 8:56 pm
- ReggieWrites said...
I like both Shiver covers. I love the US Kissed by an Angel one. And I definitely choose the US cover for Along for the Ride. The UK one looks like it's for middle grade readers...
- August 02, 2009 9:05 pm
- a flight of minds said...
I like the US version of Shiver- the blue's prettier. While the UK cover is more striking- the US is easier on the eyes, and I'd pick it up over the UK version.
I like the UK versions of the Sarah Dessen books, but I do think that the US one fits AftR better.
And UK version for Kissed by an Angel. I like the angle better and the falling petals.
Complete opposite of you. :P

I totally agree w/ u Taschima on shiver and Along 4 the ride.
I like the US version of Kissed By an Angel though
- August 02, 2009 9:14 pm
- Zia said...
Definitely love the US cover of Shiver, the UK cover of Kissed By An Angel, and I can't decide on the Along for the Ride one.
- August 02, 2009 9:16 pm
- margo said...
I definitely like the UK one's better - except I saw the HP series and I like the US ones better :) thanks for the post. I always like seeing things like this
- August 02, 2009 10:06 pm
- Lauren said...
I like both for Shiver, but I'd go with the US one because it's more original. I need a break from black covers with one red detail!
- August 02, 2009 11:15 pm
- B.A.M. Book Reviews said...
I have to disagree with your choice on Shiver, I just love the blue and white! :) I think I like the US cover of Kissed By An Angel better than the UK one. I can't even explain why though lol. Oh, and of course the US Sarah Dessen cover wins this one and all of the other ones. I really don't like the UK covers for Sarah Dessen's books at all. I wish they would change them.
- August 03, 2009 6:44 am
- Meggin said...
I think I like the UK cover better for Shiver- that's the one I'll be getting anyways (borrowing it from a blogging friend) :)
Actually, every single one of these I go with the UK- well, I agree on the Sarah Dessen one with you. The dress is really cool and all, but the US cover's more like what you think of when you think Dessen.
P.S. You're entered in my contest 2 times- thanks for entering :)
- August 03, 2009 8:21 am
- Sarbear said...
I agree with you on the Shiver cover -- the black one is more dramatic and the font looks cold! As for the second one, I actually like UK better. I agree with you on the third one. The UK one looks too dark and dreary.
- August 03, 2009 11:07 am
- Casey said...
I like the US cover of Shiver better - the blue just looks pretty. The black does seem more dramatic. I like the US cover of Kissed by an Angel the best, although the flower on the UK is pretty. I like the US cover of Along for a Ride just because it goes with the story better than the dress.
Nice post
- August 03, 2009 11:46 am
- Juju said...
In all cases the UK cover looks more edgy and cool. Why is that?
- August 03, 2009 12:29 pm
- Jessica Kennedy said...
I like all of the covers! Except the last UK cover, where's the bike?!?! I agree with you on that one!

Product Review
About GHRI RatingsX
Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Sony Bravia 55" HX800 3-D LCD TV produces good picture quality in high definition, standard definition and 3-D. During 3-D quality testing, testers found that the 3-D image disappeared when they titled their heads slightly off-center, but when they remained straight the 3-D quality was great. sonystyle.com

Czech Film Week
15.08.2012 / 11:14
Czech Film Week 2012 is coming up soon!
We are delighted that we can invite you to the third edition of the Czech Film Week. After success of the last 2 years we were again able to enrich the list of films that we are going to present. This year it will be 5 feature films and 3 documentary films. The Czech Film Week will be open by the film Long Live the Family that received 4 Czech Critic's Awards in 2011 including the Best Picture. The film is directed by Robert Sedlacek and produced by Radim Prochazka, who will be our guest this year and will also present his documentary film Catenaccio a la Drnovice.
Another film will be Flower Buds that received 4 awards of the Czech Lions 2011 including the Best Picture and Best Director. Flower Buds is in this year's East of the West Competition at the IFF Karlovy Vary.
One of the world's leading film directors of Czechoslovak origin, Milos Forman, celebrated his 80th birthday this year. At the occasion of this anniversary we bring a 2 hour documentary film, which shows the richness of his life and career and presents many Holywood stars that he has been working with along the years.
We are very happy to introduce to the Israeli public the best of the actual Czech film production of the last years including the film Rules of Lies by Robert Sedlacek that received the Czech Lion Award for Best Screenplay in 2006.
The documentary Generation Singles by a young director Jana Poctova is a probe into human relations in present-day Czech Republic, a contemplation of diverse forms of hope and disillusion. The Czech Film Week 2012 has been prepared in the cooperation and great help of the Israel Cinematheques.

Occupation: Farmer
Education: Texas A&M University, B.A., 1993; St. Mary's University, M.A., 1997; St. Mary's University, J.D., 1997; University of Arkansas, L.L.M., 1998
Legislative Experience: House Member, 2003 - 2007; Senate Member, 2007 - present
Hometown: Katy
Party: Republican
Senator Glenn Hegar, the youngest member of the Texas Senate, is a sixth generation Texan who farms on land that has been in his family since the mid-1800s. Glenn, his wife Dara and their children Claire, Julia, and Jonah live in Katy, where they attend St. Peter's United Methodist Church.
Senator Hegar serves as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Nominations, and as a member of the Committees on Finance; Natural Resources; and Agriculture, Rural Affairs, and Homeland Security. On Senate Finance, Senator Hegar not only helps craft the state budget, but serves as Chairman of a subcommittee charged with the review of state and local revenue matters.
As Chairman of the Nominations Committee, Senator Hegar will lead the Senate as it fulfills the constitutional duty to provide advice and consent on all appointments made by the Governor. Among others, every person appointed to a leadership position at a state agency must receive majority approval from first the Committee on Nominations, and second from two-thirds of the Texas Senate. In total, the Committee will consider over 700 nominees during the upcoming session; that number includes the over 400 gubernatorial appointments to be made in session, as well as the over 300 recess appointees named since last session and still awaiting confirmation by the Committee and full Senate.
Senator Hegar is the previous Chairman of the influential Sunset Advisory Commission. Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst's appointment of Senator Hegar as Vice Chairman of the Sunset Advisory Commission made Texas history, marking the first time that a freshman member of the Texas Senate was named to a leadership position of the powerful oversight commission. In addition to his other appointments, Senator Hegar is a member of the Environmental Flows Advisory Group, Edwards Aquifer Oversight Committee, the Legislature's Rural Caucus, as well as past Chairman and current Secretary and Treasurer of the Texas Legislative Sportsman's Caucus.
On January 10, 2014, Senator Hegar was appointed to the Comptroller's Property Value Study Advisory Committee. This committee is charged with advising the Comptroller on rules governing the conduct of studies to determine the taxable value of property in each school district.
Senator Hegar is a true conservative who strongly defends the values of faith, family, and freedom. In a few short years, he has reduced government inefficiencies, saved taxpayer dollars, and provided common sense solutions to problems facing everyday Texans.
Glenn was recognized for his strong stand on Second Amendment rights when he was awarded the Doc Brown Legislator of the Year Award for 2009 by the Texas State Rifle Association and for his work in ensuring Texas retains a world class justice system with the with the Civil Justice Leadership Award from Texans for Lawsuit Reform. In recognition of his pro-business voting record, the Texas Association of Business named Glenn a "Champion for Free Enterprise," its most prestigious award; the Texas Mining and Reclamation Association named him Legislator of the Year; and the Texas Municipal Police Association awarded him the Legislative Excellence Award. In prior sessions, he was recognized as Best Legislator and the Rookie of the Year for the 80th Session by Capitol Inside, received the Legislative Excellence Award from the Texas Municipal Police Association, Star for Rural Texas from the Texas Farm Bureau, and the Perfectly Pro-Life Award from Texas Right to Life.
The most important title that Glenn has ever received is "Daddy." Each and every day, he continues the fight to protect family, including his own, as the State Senator of the 18th District of Texas.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Well Elkie, I can see you now in your western movie, as you keep falling off of your horse like those old westerns with the three st___ges. Carlosii and I could co-star as the other two. Perfect casting for The Three Geezers. You will really need to start practicing your falling now. Older has already been practicing, by falling off his golf cart, so you just might have some competition for the staring role.

SunThis honeylocust does well in full sun.
Tolerant of a wide range of soils including acid, alkaline, moist, dry, salt.
ShapeThis honeylocust has oval, rounded shape.
The Thornless Honeylocust is a widely planted landscape tree. Its tolerance to the stresses of urban conditions partially accounts for its popularity, especially its ability to withstand drought and to grow under a wide range of soil conditions. It is also said to be one of the most salt-tolerant trees, standing up well even along Chicago's freeways. Another feature is its remarkable growth rate. Newly planted trees can be expected to add 2 feet or more per season for at least the first 10 years. Finally, the open crown of the Honeylocust allows enough light to filter through to favor the growth of grass beneath its branches.

Wildlife Value
Thornless honeylocust seed pods and seeds are consumed by livestock and wildlife such as rabbits, deer, squirrels and northern bobwhite. The flowers provide a good source for bee food.
The Thornless Honeylocust is native from Pennsylvania to Nebraska and south to Texas. The first scientific observations of this species were made in 1700. Sometimes still referred to in the South as the Confederate Pintree because its thorns were used to pin uniforms together during the Civil War, the tree derives the name "Honey" from the sweet, honey-like substance found in its pods. The Cherokees in Tennessee made bows from the tree's durable and strong wood.
The tree has moderate flooding and drought tolerance.
The leaves of this tree are pinnate or bipinnate, which means each leaf branches once or twice. Bearing 8-14 leaflets on each section.
Flower Color
Yellow color, pleasant fragrance.
Bloom Time
Fruit Description
This tree produces large brown pods resembling twisted leather straps can reach 8 inches in length.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Traditional Easter Eats Around the World
In America, ham has become the traditional Easter dinner centerpiece. But fellow Christians outside the U.S. toast the holiday with delicacies you may be less familiar with, like pyramid-shaped cheesecake, herring, and hot cross buns. Symbolic or steeped in tradition, these culinary mainstays make Easter a front-runner of food-friendly holidays everywhere.
Whatever you plan to serve at your own Easter feast, consider adding a fresh spring veggie, like some in-season asparagus, to your special menu.
Hot Cross Buns
Traditionally eaten in the UK during Easter time, these little buns are flecked with currants or raisins and have a cross etched and/or frosted along the top. Many believe the tradition was started by the Anglo-Saxons, who crossed the buns to honor the four quarters of the moon. Now the cross is widely used to symbolize Jesus' crucifixion.
