I didn't come across any using Black Walnut leaves, but found one using the juice pressed from the bark or shell of green walnuts. It's in "Dick's Encyclopedia of Practical Receipts and Processes." I give this information only as an historical curiosity, besides, the book is a hoot! Good luck. |
No don't know anything about natural hair colorants recipe using walnut leaves but that is a very interesting thought. Recently I went to visit a place where they dyed wool using such products. I think they boiled walnut shells though, not leaves. But if they can dye wool why not human hair? This brings to mind something I've forgotten for a while now. Coconut oil darkens hair. We used to make our own coconut oil by boiling coconut cream to the point the solids separate from the oil. The warm oil is then used to condition our hair and it has the side effect of darkening our hair. Food for thoughts. Eh? Ianna |
The coconut oil sounds very interesting. I always liked coconut scented conditioner! Too bad about using nuts, though. We had to cut our trees down right about the time they started producing nuts. Someone planted them over our leach field. But one has tried to come back. That's why I was hoping for leaves. Do you think walnut shells from the store would work, or do I need green nuts? I know there was a black-ish ink made from oak gaul (gall?). I wonder if that would be bad on hair. Many Thanks, Alaina |

why not henna hair dye??? |
Actually, I do use henna and I love the stuff. But it's getting to be too much red for me. I've never had great luck with black henna either. I've decided to let me hair go grey again & dye the grey stripes on the side purple or pink. Any thoughts as to what could produce those colors in nature? (Probably hopeless, right?) I think the current political climate is making me regress into a being a teenager again, just like in the eighties! |
Hehe, I just live vicariously thru my childrens ever changing hair colors.... Seriously, the only red (or pink) will be from chochineal bugs (the only true red produced in nature). I would bet tho that it will not take well on hair, like many other plant dyes. As silly as this may seem you might want to pick up a book on dying with plant materials from the library to give you ideas on what colors each plant can produce, paying particular attention to those plants producing colors that do not need additional chemicals to set or draw out the color (like alum or salt or urine or copper). Perhaps the oak galls or green walnut shells will work-the books should give you an idea of how to extract the color. If all else fails there is always koolaid (sans sugar) for interesting highlights. |

As a pushing-40 office manager, you *can* have colored hair and not be 15. I have dark purple hair, totally unnatural, but I still like it. I don't have a choice about going grey, but at least if I have to color my hair, it can be a fun color. Celene |
Wow, You've given me hope of still being strange even after becoming responsible. Thank you! What do you use for purple dye? Does it do horrible things to your hair? This could be doubly fun, I'm a civil engineer. The males in the office get weirded out if I spray any rose prefume! Alaina |
Celene, LOL, my DD had her hair dyed a dark purple a few years back. It was really pretty but I do remember her hair being pretty damaged as the peroxide needed was pretty high for the dye would take. How did you do yours, what brand color, how long does it last and did it fry your hair?? |
Manic Panic, is a good brand of funky hair colors. All are suposedly vegetable based. They do well on grey, and wash out eventually. you can usually pick them up at a beauty supply shop -like Sallys. you can bleach your hair, or just dye over natural hair color for a tint. have fun. http://www.manicpanic.biz/ct_CG13931614.htm |
- Posted by AuntieCelene 5b OH (My Page) on Wed, Sep 17, 03 at 7:59
I've done the Manic Panic, it's great, I have very dark hair, so I just dye over it...the parts that are grey pick up the color so I don't have to bleach anything. One advantage over the young people who use it! I personally use a Goldwell color, it's 6RV with a violet enhancer. HTH, Celene |
Cool Celene, thanks for the info and thanks to texfinn for posting the Manic Panic link. Maybe I will let my hair grow out and try some of these instead of going to the hairdresser every 6 weeks. |
This is going to be great!!! Do you use the cream or gel? It sounds like the cream is more of the semi-permanent coloring and the gel is more like regular hair gel. Is that right? The site is slightly vague. But then, maybe people buying it know the lingo. Alaina |
- Posted by AuntieCelene 5b OH (My Page) on Thu, Sep 18, 03 at 9:00
That is correct; the cream is a semi-permanent color and the gel washes out. Have fun! Celene |
Try Pioneerthinking.com They have some all-natural hair dye solutions. Daliah |

Careful about walnut. The part which contains the color also is poisonous, i.e. the leaves, bark, shell, and the brown part around the nut flesh. It can give you skin problems, e.g. blisters. Walnut trees cannot be planted in a garden. Wherever the leaves fall, all other plants will die, because they act as a herbicide. If you plant a walnut tree, put it on a pateo. That way you won't need to worry about weeds growing between the stones. Henna does not darken the hair. It reddens it. If you want to lighten hair, use strong chamomile tea. |

hey, if you with to darken your hair, i know, to jst boost the barkness of hair strong sage tea will aparently work, if not, it smells nice. just wash you hair in the sge tea, and i suggest leaving it soaked into your hair for a few minutes before rinsing it out. dunno if it will cover the grays but may make them less noticable, my hair is currently black/blue so its pretty safe to say its not natural (he says knowing full well he has woad in the graden). well scrap thet, but for woad i'd need to bathe my head in ammonia *shudders* |

blue-haired old lady here... cobalt blue where the silvers are, a dark navy blue elsewhere. executive assistant to a VP (a really cool VP, for all he's the preppiest SOB I've ever met!) unfiltered purple grape juice instead of water in your henna will turn that red down a fair bit (depending on your hair color, it runs from auburn to burgundy) and walnut HULLS, not the shells, are where the dye comes from...and it's vile, smelly stuff to work with, not to mention that it stains everything else ;) honestly- I use the special effects line (from hot topic of all places- and how the babies STARE at me when I come in - I swear they forgot who INVENTED the looks they're playing with in the first place... oh, that's right, because their mommies and daddies are trying so hard to forget they ever looked like that! ) and while I keep coming back to the 'bleu velvet' the purples and sometimes the greens get incorporated into it...and if you blend a touch of green into the red, you get brown ;) |
Hi, all-- new here but this much I know--my Mom told me when she was young that she tried dyeing her hair dark brown with walnut-hull dye (not the hard shells, but the green stuff around the nuts falling at this time of year) and she had the WORST time trying to get it out of her hands. It will _not_ gently and obligingly fade with repeated shampooings, and smelled a bit while she was putting it on besides. It's dark and holds fast, but do you really want it that badly? If you're still hell-bent on it, please remember to use gloves and have a friend, also gloved, helping keep it away from the skin on your forehead and neck (unless you want an interesting patchy suntan effect, too). Maybe you can snip a lock to test on? |

Interesting topic! When I was making some elderberry jam the other day I was staring at the mixture thinking what a gorgeous, deep purple it turned when heated. I did a little research and it seems it was used as a hair dye in Roman times.. not tried it yet as the birds got the rest of the berries, but maybe next year. Also, beetroot mixed with red wine is meant to be pretty good. Another one I plan to try..! Melanie :) |
Only certain plants are affected by Blk walnut... not all of them, but I wouldn't use it on my head. |
Well, I wouldn't call it natural, but when I was in high school and screwing around with hair color, we would use cool aid. It comes in all kindas funky colors. It doesn't go a bold colors, but with light colored hair it takes pretty well. Especially the various tones of pink. Nice thing is it doesn't stay in very long (washes out in 5 or 6 washings from what I can remember) so you can play around with colors before you commit to a more permanent hair color. Also great for kid halloween costumes. Then you don't have to use that horrible colored hair spray. |

Years ago I dyed my hair with Egyptian Henna. It used to be sold in a metal tin decorated with old egyptian style art. It was pure, powdered henna leaves. You mixed it with water. It smelled like cooked spinach. The problem with pure henna is it slightly turns your scalp orangey. It also tinted the worn porcelain in my bathtub. Henna coats your hair, so the hair is thicker. When my hair got wet, it smelled just like canned spinach. My hair dyed red and it shined scarlett. That freaked out a lot of people. Normally when sun hits shiney hair, the highlights are white, like a bright light, but my hair highlights were like a red traffic light. The henna coating builds up as you do touch ups. After a year of using henna, my hair in back was turning purple, like grape juice. The color was permanent. I couldnt even bleach it out. So there is the problem of the roots showing when you stop using it, because you cant use regular hair dyes to touch up as there might be a chemical reaction. Of course all hair coloring has the problem of what to do when you want to stop. But I will never forget that spinach smell that came out when I got caught in the rain |

oh contraire (sp?), the thing that makes henna so speciall for dyeing hair ( and i think its the same with woad) is that the mollecules unlike most plant dyes are small enough to go into the hair. interestingly enough hmm... a little off topic, ah well, i think i'll dye my hair with woad some day anyway, amonia or no amonia. |
- Posted by shortarse_hedgewitch Bucks UK (email@example.com) on Mon, Dec 26, 05 at 19:04
um yeah reviving this topic kinda. because i was wondering, are there any natural green dyes, not bright green, darker green? there must be one somewhere... does chlorophyll work as a dye, or are the mollecules to big (to penetrate teh hair shaft)? |
Henna and Indigo mixed make hair black. http://www.hennaforhair.com/mixes/ |

Wow- an old post but I have a goodie :) To acheive darker hair: Brew coffee with coffee (where you would pour water, pour coffee) then let it cool. Pour over DRY hair, then stand in the sun, flipping your head around occasionally. Stand there till it's dry. |

Rocking one million faces: Peggy Dyer talks about her new show at Breathe Denver
After hearing Bon Jovi exclaim in "Dead or Alive" that he had "seen a million faces, and rocked them all," photographer Peggy Dyer was inspired. And ever since, she's been working on her own project: to photograph one million faces. She's now nearing the 8,000 mark, and the latest volume of her project, Freedom Is Not Free: Volume II, is up at Breathe Denver through July, honoring military men and women she photographed last month. "Return," by Peggy Dyer.
Dyer took some time to talk with us about the title of this latest installation, what keeps her going in her pursuit of faces, and Bon Jovi's ability to act as a muse.
Westword: Where did the title Freedom Is Not Free come from?
Basically, this idea first came to me at the beginning of last month. We had Pride in Denver and I thought, we all have someone before us in whatever genre we're in, and those people have paved the way. We take their losses and advances and courage and we see that reflected next to the messages, like at Pride.
I spent some time with troops who were deploying, and it changed everything, as well, and related to that feeling -- that we're benefiting from what those before us have sacrificed for. I did these photos in June, and by July they were hanging on the wall. It's not so much about it being the idea of someone holding a message written on a whiteboard or scrap of cardboard, but what I love is to create images from those people, as well. It's striking -- here's some real faces of men and women who are going overseas to fight for their families, and ours, and here are their faces. It's not just a number, it's a face.
Is this a part of your original project?"One Million Faces," by Peggy Dyer.
Yes. I started the project in 2009. I was inspired when driving over the hill going into Boulder and heard Bon Jovi say, "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all." I started a website and I started taking pictures. I'm roughly around 7,861. I say roughly, because I have some on my camera, too. I just invite people up and sometimes I'm standing at the bar, or one time I was at an event that I was hired and paid to be there and people came up and wanted to be a part of it.
Do you think this is the first time Bon Jovi has ever inspired a large-scale art project?
I think that Bon Jovi inspires a lot of at projects, but nothing perhaps to this scale. A million is a big number. I recently was watching a show, Deadliest Catch, and they use that same song. That song is definitely out there inspiring them to fish [laughs].

My Royal Ranier is starting to put on blooms. Looks like it will be quite a few this year. My pollinator (Lapins) is behind it in bloom time. What are you using for pollination of Royal Ranier? Request suggestion for variety that will share bloom and also fall within my chill hours. I had Craigs Crimson, but it bit the dust (canker) after about 3 years. Have tried the super low chill, but all died from canker. Waisted enough time and money on those. Looking for something under 700 chill that might share bloom and be somewhat disease resistant. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
kingwood: I've got about 20 varieties and bloom is spread over more than a month. This year Royal Rainier bloomed in the mid to late period close to Lapins. Given the difference in our chilling regimes my results probably aren't going to help you even if I had better notes. I have to think you are borderline on chilling. My cultivars that set best at marginal chilling are Rainier, Bing, Lapins, and Sonata. I've heard that Stella is even lower chilling than Lapins but I haven't grown it here. Things that don't set at all with marginal chilling include Van, Sweetheart, Selah, Skeena, Benton, and Sandra Rose. All of the last five are self fertile but need a lot of chilling, 500-600 Utah hrs, to set even 1% of blossoms. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. |

Choose a Realtor or real estate salesperson to help you with your search
Generally, the Realtor is paid by the seller. Therefore, a prospective buyer should take advantage of that fact and have someone help them in their search. A buyer should be very careful and interview several Realtors before choosing the one to help them with their goal. It is very important to engage a realtor that you feel that you can trust, and will not push you into a transaction that you are not comfortable with. A buyer's realtor needs to be very patient, as they will probably have to show you many homes before you find one that you are interested in making an offer on. A Realtor also has to be very knowledgeable about the local market, because they need to advise you properly as to what price you should pay for a home. Especially in todays market where there are so many distressed properties, it is difficult to understand what the prices should be.
Choose a lender to obtain the loan necessary to purchase the home
You may be thinking that it is way too early in the process to decide on a lender, and you'd be correct. However, in today's market it is a very good idea to get "pre-qualified" by a lender prior to placing an offer. Less than 50% of contracts are actually closed, because it's very difficult to get a loan. So, it's important to know if you qualify for the homes that you are looking at. Once you have a contract for your home, you can get different quotes from lenders; the quote from the lender is called the "Good Faith Estimate". In the past, sometimes those were not very accurate; however, changes going into effect in 2010 will make those estimates more reliable. You have a certain amount of time to obtain the loan commitment from the lender (usually 30 days). Therefore, you must be diligent in obtaining the loan.
Choose your own title company and/or lawyer
Both your Realtor and your lender may want to steer you to a specific title company to perform your closing. However, a buyer can choose which title company can do their closing. But, you should know that I believe that one should always hire a lawyer when purchasing a home, as it may be the biggest investment of one's life. Many lawyers can perform the tasks of the title company and other lawyers have an affiliated title company. In considering a title company/lawyer, examine their reputation in the community, whether they insure with large reputable underwriters, their experience and their customer service. Remember, it's important to have someone trustworthy take you through this experience. Finally, once you have chosen the title company and/or lawyer, make sure that you inform your lender and Realtor, so that they do not hire one for you.
Submitting an offer for a home
Typically, an offer is submitted in the form of a signed final contract. That contract conditions everything that happens from the time the contract is signed to the closing, from inspections and financing to title and utilities. There are commonly used "pre-printed" forms that your Realtor can usually help you with. However, it is a very good idea and highly recommended for your attorney to review the contract with you and negotiate any terms that you may want to be different from the "pre-printed" form. Sometimes, this advice can save a buyer money and heartache down the road. If there is a time constraint, a buyer can add the words "subject to attorney review" on their offer.
Make careful examination of the home you are purchasing
Generally, contracts are "as is". Therefore, the buyer must examine the property carefully to make sure that the property is in good shape and there are no hidden issues. The buyer should definitely hire a certified home inspector to inspect the home. It is a small expense compared with the possible downside of a hidden defect. A buyer should accompany the inspector to ask any questions at the time of the inspection. A buyer should make sure with your title company that there are no title issues affecting the home. If there are, you must review them. For example, there may be homeowner's associations that restrict certain activities. You must review those documents and make sure that you can live with those restrictions
What is a Short Sale?
. A Short Sale is when the seller of a home owes their lender more than what the buyer is paying for it. The Seller's lender must then reduce the payoff amount in order for the closing occur. These types of closings are problematic in that lenders usually need a few months in order to agree to reduce their loan amount. Sometimes, a lender will not agree to a reduction and the contract is canceled. Oftentimes, the seller has nothing to gain from a sale and may not be as motivated to sell as a regular seller. Therefore, if you are entering into a short sale contract, understand that it could take a lot longer than anticipated and it may be a bumpy long road to closing. -

Carrolltown Center has become something of a joke in the minds of many Eldersburg residents. What used to be a thriving shopping plaza has since become an eyesore with a few stores that bravely stand fast against the cold, ugly edifice of the decrepit building. Now it has little use other than to provide office space for small businesses.
Unfortunately, that shows no sign of changing. For over two years now, Black Oak Associates, the owner of the mall, and Sears Holding, the owner of Kmart and holder of a long-term lease of mall space, have been in negotiations over redevelopment.
In the meanwhile, Eldersburg residents can only dream. If Black Oak and Sears finally do reach an agreement, what do you think should happen to mall? Should it be restored to its former glory, complete with a food court, Fun Quarters, and interior stores? Should it be leveled completely and left as a vacant lot, a reminder to never build a mall in Eldersburg again? Should it be converted to a teen hangout, to fill the void left by the closing of the movie theater? Answer below in the comments.

I've just taken part in an illustration challenge held by Lilla Rogers, and here's my entry! The brief was to create a journal cover with a playground theme, and I really had a lot of fun drawing this. It brought back fond memories of risking life and limb doing crazy stunts on the monkey bars, and tightly gripping onto the roundabout to stop myself being propelled into the stratosphere by centrifugal force from being spun way too fast by my sister – so much fun! You're never too old to have a go on the swings though, are you?
Beautiful! I love the colours and the texture. And the girl with the kite is very cute! Good luck with this!
Your artwork takes my breath away. This is just too special.
This is so great I love your entry it all takes me back to when I was a child playing on the play ground. Good luck I hope that you'll win!!!!
Hi Karena, Thrilled to bits to see that you entered in Lillas GTS too! Love your entry! Gorgeous colours and kids. And your background texture is lush. I had hoped like mad to make it into the top 50 too, but sadly no cigar this time. Still makes for a sweet folio piece. :-)
I LOVE your website! Beautiful and fun artwork. xoxoxoxoxo

How does light pollution affect astronomers?
What are the effects of "light pollution" on our ability to view the stars? Especially, how are the new city lights helping or hurting the situation? Do sodium vapor lamps really help? What is it about mercury vapor lamps that hurt our ability to see through the atmoshere? How bad is it today from existing observatories to get good viewing conditions as compared to say the last 50 years? Is there any effort to correct this problem? Is there corrective lens that can be used to help as was done with the Hubble telescope? What do you see as the future of land based, visible light telescopes concerning this specific problem?
There are two ways that light pollution interferes with our ability to study the sky. The first is simply that unshielded lights send their light in all directions, including straight up. This sets the sky aglow, in much the same way that the sun sets the sky aglow during the day. Now, the sky does not glow as brightly at night as it does during the day, but the increase in sky glow caused by cities is enough to make it difficult to see dim objects in the sky. When we try to take a picture of a very dim object, sometimes the glow from the sky is too bright to ever see the object clearly. You can help reduce this problem by making sure that lights around your street are shielded so that most of the light is pointed downwards. This is where you want the light anyway, and by shielding the light you will both reduce light pollution and reduce the wattage of bulb required for the same amount of ground lighting, thus saving energy as well!
The second way city lights interfere with astronomy is much more insidious. Often, astronomers want to take the spectra of an object, splitting the light from the telescope into its component colors. When you take a spectrum of fluorescing objects like galaxies, you see that the spectrum is not smooth, but made up of a number of lines. Each line is a unique indicator of the presence of a certain chemical. By studying the strengths of these lines, astronomers can deduce the chemical composition and temperatures of the objects they observe. By noting the redshift of the lines (how far to the red side of the spectrum they are shifted), astronomers can determine how fast the object is moving. Spectroscopy is probably the most valuable tool in the astronomers' toolbox. Unfortunately, city lights play havoc with spectrographs. Have a look at the below image.
This is a spectrogram of a galaxy in the constellation Hercules, taken by the 200 inch telescope at Palomar. Redder colors are on the left, and bluer colors are on the right. The bright horizontal line through the middle is the light of the galaxy we observed that night. The bright vertical lines that you see are not from the galaxy: they are lines from mercury vapor lamps in San Diego! The lines from the galaxy are actually dark against the light of the galaxy, but they are very difficult to find (try it!) because they are lost in the bright lines from the city.
Mercury vapor lamps have an enormous number of these spectral lines in all parts of the spectrum, and interfere with astronomical observations from the infrared to the ultraviolet. This is why astronomers encourage the use of sodium vapor lamps instead. Sodum vapor has only two lines in the entire optical spectrum! So if cities used sodium vapor instead of mercury, we would have a much easier time analyzing astronomical spectra. Already, some parts of the spectrum cannot be observed from palomar, because the mercury vapor is just too bright.
Unfortunately, there is no kind of corrective lens that we can use to filter out all this light pollution. Any filter that we used to filter out the undesirable light would also filter out the light we want to see. The effort has to come from the cities themselves and the voluntary efforts of their citizens to use shielded sodium vapor lights when they live near observatories.
The situation at Palomar now is getting quite grim. Today, the city lights can be directly seen through gaps in the mountains, meaning that city light is making its way directly into the telescopes, without first even being reflected by the sky. Many observers have given up looking at objects in the southwestern sky, because the light pollution is so bad in that direction. The City of San Diego once required the use of sodium vapor lights on city streets to reduce the light pollution at Palomar, but as the city grew, that law was allowed to expire. With the growth of the city and the use of more and more mercury lamps, Palomar is becoming more and more polluted. Some Palomar users estimate that if things keep going the way they have been, then in the next ten years or so, Palomar will be useless for deep-sky astronomy.
There is still hope for land-based astronomy, though. Palomar is hurt particularly bad by the light pollution problem because of its proximity to the heavily populated areas of southern California. Other telescopes, such as the Keck telescopes in Hawaii are faring extremely well. There are no bright city lights near these observatories to get in the way of a good night of observing. Some day in the next couple of decades, Palomar may have to be decommissioned (like the Mount Wilson telescope near Pasadena) in favor of telescopes at more remote sites. Cornell University, for instance, is in the process of building a new telescope far from all civilization in Chile's Atacama Desert. Other telescopes are being built on remote mountaintops, islands, and even the south pole.

The American College Dublin, in association with the Irish Writers' Centre, has launched an MFA in Creative Writing, focusing in particular on writing prose fiction. Further details on the course and how to apply can be found on the American College's website.
Based in the childhood home of Oscar Wilde at 1 Merrion Square and delivered in association with the Irish Writers' Centre, the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing offers aspiring or published writers a one-year course of study which examines the process and practice of producing prose fiction. Within a critical workshop and mentoring format students are provided with tuition and advice in completing either a novel or a short story collection. Consideration is given to the intellectual, psychological, economic and cultural influences that underpin and drive the creative writing process. The course also emphasizes the business and professional environment of writing, with seminars presented by agents and publishers and master classes by established writers. The programme provides the student both with expert guidance in producing a substantial written work of publishable standard, and with a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical and practical requirements of successful participation in the activity of writing, whether as a professional career or as part of a lifelong personal commitment to creative endeavour.
A graduate of the programme will be in a position to consider submission of a complete and polished work to a literary agent or publisher. He or she will also be prepared for participation in a range of complementary fields such as journalism, publishing, editing, online writing, advertising, marketing and teaching. The degree develops a broad spectrum of transferable skills, including advanced and adaptable writing techniques, informed responsiveness to critical and editorial commentary, self-management and organizational competencies, and a high level of expertise in understanding and locating creative work within a historical and critical context. These skills are applicable not only in careers that draw directly on the ability to write creatively, but also in a wide array of related business, cultural and social activities such as keeping a web page, blogging, advocacy and grant writing, criticism and commentary. Finally, the degree highlights the beauty and, amid such suffering as is necessary, the joy of creative expression. Regardless of the particular path a graduate follows, he or she will leave the programme with an enhanced, lifelong appreciation of the manifold intellectual and emotional benefits and consolations to be found in the practice of creative writing.
The Irish Writers' Centre
The MFA in Creative Writing is delivered in association with the Irish Writers' Centre, based at 19 Parnell Square. The Irish Writers' Centre has long been a hub of literary activity in Dublin, supporting established and aspiring writers throughout Ireland from its location in what Joyce called 'the heart of the Hibernian metropolis.' It is a non-profit organisation, aimed at promoting literature and writers in Ireland. Since it was founded in 1987, the Irish Writers' Centre has welcomed many award winning writers through its doors, including Nobel, Costa, Man Booker, IMPAC, and Pulitzer Prize winners. It has also served as an important platform for breakthrough talent, with many young writers giving their first public readings at the Centre.
The Irish Writers' Centre has considerable experience and expertise in teaching and promoting creative writing. These qualities, allied with American College Dublin's long background in liberal arts higher education, have informed the development of the programme and provide ongoing support for it. The Centre serves as a space for programme events and presentations, facilitates MFA students in establishing contacts with agents, publishers and other key figures in the publishing industry, and provides a context for students to engage and interact with the Dublin and Irish writing community.
All MFA students are required to be members of the Irish Writers' Centre during the year of their registration on the programme and are encouraged to enter into its culture and activities, both during the course and in the years beyond. Additionally, as a general principle, students are encouraged to draw on the observations and other writerly enjoyments and inspirations that attend the experience of travelling the paths, by-ways and spaces that link Merrion and Parnell squares.

UPDATE 1/23/12: This story has a major inaccuracy: Due to a calculation error by Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU), the proposed 2012-2013 Ripton Elementary School spending plan will not require two votes at town meeting after all. Please see the end of the article for more details, and stay tuned for an article with updated ACSU budget information.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union Elementary School board on Monday made final a decision to put before voters on Town Meeting Day a $3.91 million budget proposal for 2012-13 that would increase current spending by $20,500, or 0.5 percent.
Addison Northwest Supervisory Union officials are cautiously optimistic that spending proposal, combined with the recently proposed $8.97 million Vergennes Union High School spending plan, would lead to little or no school tax hikes in the three towns served by VUES.

ADDISON COUNTY — While all proposed spending plans for Addison Northeast Supervisory Union (ANeSU) elementary schools next fiscal year are slated to increase more than 4 percent, school officials are estimating that many towns' kindergarten through sixth grade tax rates would go down.
BRANDON — The Otter Valley Union High School board last week approved a proposed $10,332,550 spending plan for 2012-13. That represents an increase of $233,918 or 2.32 percent over the current spending plan.
There was none of the drama of past year's budget talks when the fate of two items in the budget — the alternative education Harvest Program and the school resource officer — were in question. For the record, both of those line items are intact.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School board on Monday settled on an $8.97 million budget proposal to put before Addison Northwest Supervisory Union voters in March. The plan would increase spending at VUHS by a little less than 2 percent — essentially back to the school's 2007-2008 level.
Monday's action followed a Jan. 3 meeting at which the VUHS board asked administrators to cut back their recommendation of a 2.47-percent hike to less than 2 percent.
MIDDLEBURY — The UD-3 board on Tuesday agreed to present voters with a 2012-2013 budget of about $16.1 million, representing a 3.18-percent spending increase compared to this year.
While school officials are awaiting firmer state aid information from Montpelier, they are estimating the budget would require a homestead education property tax rate of $1.506 per $100 in property value, representing a 1.4-percent increase compared to this year's rate of $1.503.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) voters on March 6 will be asked to approve a 20-year, $1,012,491 bond to replace the Middlebury Union Middle School roof.
The UD-3 board on Tuesday unanimously agreed to place the bond issue on the Town Meeting Day ballots of the seven ACSU-member towns after bids had been opened for the job. Rutland-based Quinn Company submitted the lowest bid for a new metal roofing system for MUMS.
MIDDLEBURY — The UD-3 school board is considering cuts to driver's education, dance, art and foreign languages in order to limit the increase in the 2012-2013 spending plan to around 3 percent.
BRISTOL — Taking aim at level-funding the 2012-2013 school budget, Mount Abraham Union High School Principal Andy Kepes offered the school board at its Tuesday meeting an even slimmer spending plan that would decrease spending by 1.9 percent from this year's $11,309,068 budget.
WEYBRIDGE — Weybridge voters in March will be asked to approve a 2012-2013 elementary school spending plan of $970,277, representing a 14.55-percent decrease to reflect an ongoing trend of declining enrollment.
This is the third year in a row that Weybridge school directors are pitching a reduced budget. Local voters last year OK'd a $1,135,495 spending plan, which amounted to a 6.4-percent decrease compared to the previous year.

CASPER — Wyoming's largest wind energy developer says it has met its current goals for wind-based generation and has no further plans to build more wind farms in Wyoming.
Rocky Mountain Power owns nine wind farms in Wyoming with a total capacity of 626.6 megawatts. In addition, the regulated utility has long-term contracts to buy power from six other Wyoming wind farms owned by merchant developers, including Duke Energy from its Top of the World wind farm.
Rocky Mountain Power, which operates as PacifiCorp outside of Wyoming, maintains an "integrated resource plan," which looks at how the utility will meet electrical demand. The current plan extends through 2017, and does not include any new wind or coal projects in Wyoming.
"Since 2006, we've added 12 wind projects that we own and operate in Wyoming, Oregon and Washington. We have also acquired cost-effective renewable energy for customers through power purchase agreements with other wind project owners," Mark Tallman, PacifiCorp's vice president of renewable resource acquisition, said in a prepared statement.
Wyoming's current wind energy capacity of 1,285-plus megawatts is a small fraction of the 15,000-megawatt build-out initially anticipated by state and industry leaders.
There are, however, at least two more proposed wind farms that state regulatory officials expect will move forward in the short term. Shell Wind Energy is preparing to submit permit applications for a wind farm in Albany County, and Wasatch Wind is preparing an application for a 100-megawatt wind farm in the uplands of the Northern Laramie Range in Converse County.
These, and many other remaining proposed wind projects, come from "merchant" companies, which typically are not integrated to include the transmission lines to take their wind power to market. Rocky Mountain Power, a regulated utility operating in six Western states, is Wyoming's largest wind developer in part because it also owns a large transmission network.
Tallman said many people mistakenly suggest that the company's wind energy projects in Wyoming are a direct result of self-imposed renewable energy requirements in other Western states, such as Oregon and California.
"That is far from the truth," he said. "In fact, these are cost-effective resources that are needed to help meet our customers' growing electricity needs in Wyoming and the other five states we serve. These resources have also resulted in valuable federal tax benefits being passed through to our customers."
Rocky Mountain Power's Gateway West electrical transmission project linking 3,000 megawatts of Wyoming power to the Southwest is still in the works. However, the line will be built in segments, with portions going into service between 2014 and 2018.

As a child, Simone Adelugba listened to the national band play in a park in downtown Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Today, the park is a massive tent city, with tarps and sheets enveloping the now skeleton-of-a-stage. "This used to be a very beautiful area," says Adelugba, looking out the window of the car. "Now I can barely even recognize it." Adelugba has not been back to Haiti for 15 years, but when the 7.0-earthquake hit her home country, she did not hesitate to sign up as a volunteer nurse for International Medical Corps. "It was the right thing to do," she says. "That's what nurses do." A nurse for 22 years, Adelugba left behind a husband and four children in Maryland to rush into Haiti and begin providing medical care to those in need. "When I came in, I was in shock," she says. "It was not the place I grew up. It was devastating, heartbreaking. The first day I had tears in my eyes." In her two weeks in Haiti, Adelugba has seen immense heartbreak, but one of the most difficult was the nursing school, where an estimated 145 nursing students were buried in the rubble, just seconds away from the University Hospital where she is providing around-the-clock care with the International Medical Corps team. As she prepares to return home, Adelugba knows that amid all the tragedy her work saved lives. "I saw one lady who took a long time to get to the hospital," she recalls. "She had an enormous blister on one foot and sores on the other. She did could not stand to walk to the hospital in her shoes because the pain was so great." Adelugba cleaned and dressed her wounds and, with time, it healed. "In the beginning, her daughter had to help her climb a flight of stairs, very slowly," she says. "Now she can climb up the stairs by herself and travels to the clinic on her own. "She looked at me and said, "You saved me life.'" Another woman came to Adelugba with an infant who was discovered crying as she lay beside her dead mother in the street. After treating the baby for a skin disorder, Adelugba asked the woman caring for the baby how she was feeding him. "She said with a spoon," says Adelugba. "She did not have bottle for the baby. I knew I was not supposed to, but I bought her a bottle. You cannot hear those things and turn the other way." Adelugba hopes to return with International Medical Corps in March to continue her work. In the meantime, she remains confident that her home country will recover. "When you talk to the Haitian people and see the hope in their faces, it gives you strength," she says. "That hope in their faces is what tells you that they'll be ok."

I feel it's my responsibility to let you all know of my recent experience with Native Healing Ways out of TN & SC. I am new to the HCG diet and decided to try the online ordering of preloaded syringes self injection. But $350 for 6 wk program, plus the initial $149 start up fee, is a lot of money for me, so I thought I was smart in ordering the first week's dosage and planning on reordering by mid week, the rest of the 6 week dosage, if I felt it really would work, like I've heard. So I started, exactly following the diet/program, and it worked – I did lose 11 pounds the first week (including 6 lbs I gained from gorging). So I reordered the 6 week supply in time to continue into week 2. Well, this 2nd batch didn't work. The energy wasn't there and the appetite suppressant wasn't there – it was quite noticeable to me. I consulted with NHW, even the owner, Noka Noble, and they would insist that there isn't such thing as a "bad batch". I gave it 3 weeks continuing to take this 2nd shipment of serum, following the very restrictive diet, only I ate approximately 1000 calories per day(couldn't keep it below that), and I mostly had no energy, and I eventually lost 1 pound in 3 weeks. From all I've read, that is not how it's supposed to work. I guess I have no choice but to write it off as a big loss of at least $350 – that's hard! But at least I can warn other people. I have ordered the sealed HCG from drugdelivery.ca and the mixing kit, and will start over the diet – I feel this should work like I've read about it working for so many people! Any comments are appreciated. Good Luck.

September 8, 2010, 6:00 AM
By Scott Raab
Joe Woolhead
"This is the one that pissed me off," says Chris Ward, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, owner of these sixteen acres. "Newt Gingrich, on the front page of The New York Times, is quoted on the mosque issue: 'We're gonna allow the Muslims to build it within two blocks of Ground Zero, where we haven't built anything.'"
Ward's our guide today, and the dress shirt under his screaming-green safety vest makes him no less a Ground Zero warrior-hero. The Port's purview includes all the major bridges, tunnels, and airports connecting New York City to the world; Ward's in charge of six thousand employees and a multibillion-dollar annual budget, and he answers to the New York and New Jersey politicians who traditionally have used the PA as a cash cow, patronage pit, and whipping boy.
Ward's immediate predecessors were hacks Pataki's puppet was a guy from upstate New York who once ran his family's car wash and bowling alley who mainly hid from public view while the boss overpromised and underdelivered. Ward, a barrel-chested egghead whose résumé includes a master's in theology from Harvard's divinity school, is a straight-shooting leader.
Within weeks of his appointment as the Port Authority's executive director in May 2008, Chris Ward did something no less heroic for being necessary: He called bullshit on the whole damned thing. At the behest of New York governor David Paterson who hired Ward after inheriting the governorship from the crusading whoremonger Eliot Spitzer he delivered a thirty-four-page report that boiled down to this: Ground Zero's budget and deadlines were so at odds with reality that it would take three months more just to figure out a realistic schedule to finish the rebuilding.
"Myopic monumentalism wrecked this project," Ward says. "You can't have a monument in a day. You don't define the project by that at the beginning. You have to build it and that requires patience. It requires hard work, and it requires deadlines.
"We know every single day how much steel has to be placed, and how much concrete has to be poured, and we are driving every contractor for that level of completion. It is getting done.
"And let's just step back here. We've done a lot we've built 700,000 square feet below grade, we're building an air-conditioning system for 1.8 million square feet of public space. It's a kids' game of pickup sticks they're tied together. You can't touch one without touching everything else.
"We'll go down in the PATH station so you can see the open-heart surgery that's going on to keep the PATH trains running while we're tearing down the platforms."
Through an unmarked door inside the temporary PATH station the railroad loops through the site, toting tens of thousands of commuters around the clock and seven days a week from New Jersey and down, with Ward in the lead, into another world framed in steel and concrete, lit by bulbs hung from metal poles, mapped by countless plywood pathways laid by countless work crews as, day by day, they build a new World Trade Center from the ground up.
"Look at that," Ward says as a PATH train shrieks past. "That train curves and you're about six inches from the new shear wall that we're literally now pouring."
Once the train passes, we walk toward the center of the site, through a maze of utility work in addition to public space, the rebuilt Trade Center will host ten million square feet of office space and pump rooms.
"That gray steel over there is the floor of the foundation," says Ward. "We're gonna bring it all the way over to the top here. So while there's still work being done down here, the PATH station ceiling will be there more importantly, the floor of the memorial'll be there, so we can plant the trees and finish the fountains. We're building from the top down."
This is a point of great pride with Ward and the Port Authority engineers: In order to get the memorial ready for the tenth anniversary of 9/11, they redesigned the job and turned it upside down, so the memorial pavilion the plaza that itself forms part of the PATH station's ceiling can be built first.
"You can't say the memorial's the most important thing, so put your shovel down and let's wait on the transit hub. The mechanical systems that drive the memorial fountains, the air-conditioning, and the lighting for the memorial are in the basement of the hub. So I had a difficult conversation with Santiago. He's not used to difficult conversations it was hard to get a word in edgewise but we made it clear that he is building to an owner, not to himself."
Here Ward grins. Santiago Calatrava is an international superstar, a consummate artist, an engineer as well as an architect, and he had designed to universal acclaim a stunning hall entirely free of columns, all space and light, clasped by ribs of curving white concrete. It was an engineering marvel and, at the original budget of $2 billion, the most expensive train station ever built.
But once it became clear that both the cost and the complexity of building it were going to bust the budget and the rebuilding timetable, Ward had no choice but to ask for a sit-down with Calatrava. He could not have felt comfortable as a nickel-nursing, git-er-done politburo hack putting the squeeze on Santiago. But that's precisely what Ward did, and he looks back at that fondly as one of the rebuilding's turning points.
"Literally, right here, is where all of these backspans and trusses are gonna be, and the way he designed them, you literally had to bring them in and drop them, and the steel would bend to a point and form where it was supposed to be. But that could've been incredibly costly and risky if you had to keep placing it. This huge truss that goes down the middle of the Calatrava hub the thing is like welding forty plates together because it holds up the whole ceiling.
"He came to the table with some very, very creative ways of solving a lot of the construction complexity. So we've done four columns. You can't even really tell they're there."
Crossing the site toward Tower 1 in the far northwest corner, we climb a few wood stairs until we reach a level even with the memorial footprints.
"That's the lower void of the South Tower. Look at these pumps. Sixty thousand gallons a minute for the memorial. The pavilion is almost overhead instead of building from the bottom up, we flipped the memorial staging structure so the memorial will be done by the ten-year anniversary.
"We'll have the fountains working, the names on the parapets of those who were lost, and 80 percent of the trees fully planted.
"We made a commitment to the mayor, we made a commitment to the two governors that memorial will be done on the ten-year anniversary. That's the only thing that matters."
From Ward's lips to God's ears: If the Port Authority can't get that much finished by 9/11/11, it may be his last day on the job. And he knows it.
The voids where the Twin Towers stood have long been Ground Zero's spiritual center. When the site was cleared of debris, they immediately were declared off-limits to vehicles and equipment, and they have retained a certain solemnity throughout the rebuilding. The crews lining their floors and walls with black granite wear black hard hats, which seem to be impossible to obtain for the not-so-few collectors among the rebuilding throng.
It is artisanal work, befitting its character and purpose.
Nobody will forget that this patch of land as wrenched by dispute as any in the world also is, literally, a mass grave.
For that very reason, many voices among them, in his mayoral farewell address, Rudy Giuliani's argued that the entire site should become a vast memorial. That this idea failed to gain any real traction says at least as much about New York City's and America's fighting spirit, resilience, and self-security as it says about the worth of real estate in Manhattan.
But the memorial is no less vital for that, and it is even now, in its infancy breathtaking.
"Come on," Ward says. "Let's go over to 1 World."
That's what the Port Authority has renamed the Freedom Tower. So far, no good: Everyone else still calls it the Freedom Tower.
"We're just about to hit the standard floor, which means every floor plate is like the one on top of it, so the guys can get some momentum going and start punching 'em out. By this year's anniversary, we should be around fifty or fifty-five, and then by the ten-year anniversary, we should be topped out at ninety."

Las Hadas Golf Resort and Marina
One unique hotel dominates the Manzanillo, Mexico landscape: the whitewashed, Arabian-inspired towers of Las Hadas Golf Resort & Marina, set on a half-mile stretch of private beach. Bolivian tin tycoon Antenor Patiño conceived of the complex as a glitterati destination in the 1970's, but today the vibe is more low-key seaside retreat than a see-and-be-seen hotspot. Patterned cobblestone paths meander around Moorish-style arches and cupolas and lead straight to the marina, powdery beach, and the 232 white-on-white rooms and suites, all with marble floors. But you'll want to head straight for the cabanas alongside the swimming pool or to the Pete and Roy Dye-designed Mantarraya Golf Course, for a round of golf with unobstructed views of Manzanillo Bay.
Room to Book:
Brisas Beach Club rooms come with private plunge pools or terraces with views of Santiago Bay.
Insider Tip:
Manzanillo is known for a peculiar optical illusion referred to as the green flash, when a verdant spot appears briefly on the rising or setting sun. The show is best on days with clear visibility.

With tax day quickly approaching on April 17, a new survey by CareerBuilder and Liberty Tax Service has revealed that many job seekers may be missing out on tax deductions related to either their job-search or work expenses.
According to the survey, only 20 percent reported to have claimed work-related expenses on their tax returns, with just 7 percent claiming job-search expenses.
Job seekers may hesitate when claiming such expenditures, because they can't clearly identify what's eligible. That's why it's important to consult a tax professional to understand what items you could be deducting.
Eligible job-search expenses
At least three out of four workers surveyed weren't aware that you may be able to claim professional résumé-writing services and résumé paper. While more than half didn't know travel to and from job interviews may be claimed, the majority of workers were aware that costs associated with relocating for a job may be tax deductible.
Number of workers who didn't know you could potentially claim the following job-search expenses:
- Professional résumé-writing service – 78 percent
- Résumé paper – 84 percent
- Travel (parking, tolls) to and from job interviews – 57 percent
- Relocation to another city or state for a job (moving trucks, travel, temporary housing, etc.) – 38 percent
"Documenting the costs of a job search may deliver a tax break whether it results in a new position or not. Job-search expenses may be deductible when, totaled with employee expenses and other miscellaneous deductions, they exceed 2 percent of adjusted gross income," says John Hewitt, CEO of Liberty Tax Service.
Eligible work expenses
Workers were across the board in terms of understanding which items were and weren't tax deductible.
Number of workers who didn't know you may be able to claim the following work expenses:
- Uniforms – 37 percent
- Steel-toe boots for work – 42 percent
- Safety glasses for work – 44 percent
- Travel to see clients – 50 percent
- Travel to work at different locations – 53 percent
- Home office equipment – 38 percent
- Home office phone/Internet services – 40 percent
- Home office furniture – 59 percent
"Home office expenses may be claimed if you exclusively and regularly use your home office as your principal place of business and/or meet other requirements. It's important to be aware of the criteria for any eligible work-related expense, so you can appropriately maximize your return," Hewitt says.
Eligible education expenses
Continuing education is another area in which workers often overlook potential tax deductions. Only 23 percent said that they claimed their education expenses on their tax return, while 55 percent were not aware that going back to school for new skills in their current occupation may be tax deductible.
As more and more individuals continue their education to supplement their skills, it's good to know what relevant tax breaks there may be. Again, consult with a tax professional or with someone from your school's financial aid office to understand the full tax implications of your education.
"With so many workers transitioning to faster-growing industries post-recession, we see greater investments in acquiring new degrees and certifications," says Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder. "If you're not researching which educational or career-related expenses are tax-deductible, you could be leaving money on the table."
What are we doing with our tax returns?
Good news — it seems most people are spending their tax refunds wisely or saving it. Forty-one percent of those surveyed said that they plan to pay off their bills, and 34 percent said they were going to put their return into a savings account. Here's what other people were planning to do:
- Make home improvements – 11 percent
- Go on vacation – 9 percent
- Invest it – 7 percent
- Pay back money they owe to people – 5 percent
The national study, conducted by Harris Interactive from Feb. 9 to March 2, 2012, included 6,000 workers across industries and company sizes.
