South Australian grows world's largest eucalypt collection
A passion since childhood has grown to produce the world's largest arboretum of eucalypts.

Dr Dean Nicolle has traversed Australia and beyond collecting a diverse array of eucalypt species to grown on his 30 hectare property in Currency Creek, south of Adelaide.
The unique arboretum encompasses 90% of Australia's eucalypt species, featuring more than 7000 trees from 800 species.
"I couldn't believe it that this sort of thing hadn't been done to such an extent before," says Dean.
Started in the 1990's, it now provides an importance research centre for eucalypts, and has resulted in the discovery of several new species.
"You might have plants that look quite different out in the wild, but you can bring them together under uniform conditions, and put them side by side and see if they really are different or not.
"Discovering new things and new species along the way is always a highlight."
An innate interest in natives
The arboretum is not just a useful scientific resource, it primarily satisfies the deep-rooted passion for eucalypts that Dean has had since he was a child.
"I've always had an interest in plants and landscaping and gardening, and that started from a fairly early age when I was about 8 years old," says Dean.
Dean assumes that his plant passion stemmed from his parents, who owned an orchid nursery while he was growing up.
"My interest eventually developed into native plants and then onto native trees and then it became more specialised into eucalypts."
From a young age he regularly went to nurseries searching for new species of gum trees to plant on his parent's property.
"I was lucky enough in that my parents owned about five acres of land when I was growing up and I used to go out to all the nurseries.
"If I saw any eucalypt or any gumtree that had a different name on it I'd want to buy it at the nursery and plant it on their property."
Dean says his parents eventually recognised a property packed with gums could be problematic in the future, so some land was acquired especially for eucalypts.
"They could soon see that if they eventually wanted to retire and I had all my trees on this little block of land they owned, that they'd run into a bit of trouble.
"Eventually it got to the stage of where they helped my buy a property to plant all the trees where I plant them now."
Trees, travel and field trips
Deane's eucalypt haven has not just spurred a hobby, but also a career, working around Australia as a self-employed consultant botanist.
"It's allowed me to do a lot of travel particularly throughout Australia and just to see the diversity of trees there are.
"Some people might think it's not all that interesting going around the place looking at trees but I really love it."
While Dean has found the greatest diversity of eucalypts in the forests of south-west Australia, his favourite individual tree grows up in the Northern Kimberleys.
Called a Eucalyptus cyracea (Seppelt Range Gum), it has a bright orange flower and is a 'very unusual species'.
"It's almost impossible to grow in South Australia because the climate's just too cold and it takes a really well set up expedition to go up and hunt it down."
He said the challenge of tracking unique trees is part of the gums' appeal.
"I find it a lot of fun to go out and look for these things and to discover new things about them and to search for new species."
But it's not just special tree species Dean has discovered, he also found a wife during one of his tree trips to Southern Cross, a small town in the West Australian goldfields.
Dean says he met geo-ecologist Annette during a joint eucalyptus field trip with her boss, a German professor.
"I was lucky enough to meet her there, which automatically meant she's got some sort of interest [in eucalypts]."

"* ORDER: color - Almond, paper- White Shimmer, envelope - Matte Black Euro Flap, style - Trifold * We love this invitation for its simplicity, uniqueness and character! We made a few changes on it, from the fonts to the entire look of it. Possibilities are endless, so you can make it "your own." The designer (Sarah) and the customer service (online&phone) were more than helpful and accomodating for our every request/question. Sharp picture quality. Very good paper quality. Prompt delivery. Simply can't beat the price!"
"I loved the style of writing on the front and how well organized and set apart each piece of information appeared. I thought it was very easy to read. I could have done with a different pattern on the back: it was too busy for my liking."
"I ordered the entire suite of this design. The paper was soft and had a great weight. I customized it so that it read on top " [My parents] invite you to the marriage of their daughter [My name] to [Grooms name]." Even though the template didn't allow me to change the plus sign between our names to "to", the design team followed my requests in the comment box to perfection. The colors were bright and beautiful, and in no way fuzzy or pixelated. They looked custom painted. All the texts that were "too big" the design team fixed so it looked perfect. Have recommended and will use again for a different occasion."
"It says that because it is a square invitation extra postage is required. Very true. However, the post office is well prepared for just this situation and has very pretty wedding stamps. The actual weight with the rsvp and return envelope is 70 ounces. The invitations were very pretty and Tiffany loved them. Unfortunately they will not be used now due to medical issues. What a shame."
"Everything was so easy, from creating the card to receiving the proof and receiving the cards. The total process time from creation to receipt was less than a week!"

I do not water my garden
My name is Jon Hutton and it is great to be here. First I would like to say I have thought about posting for a while. Many of my friends are saying I should start a blog on this, and I probably will. I have tried to find out how to do a blog here with out any luck. I could go to a third party site, but I'm hoping it can be done here. If someone knows please fill me in. This is not spam so please do not report this. I thought about applying for a patent on this technique for growing vegetables. After studying the whole process. I have decided to publicly give out the information in hopes that others will further my work that is completely new. Sorry if this still sounds like spam or asking for money, but if you knew me and my life's work you would understand. I have many videos pictures and pdf files I have made, I would like to share. Many hours of research on the subject of growing your crops with out ever watering them with: rain water, waste water, streams, drains, ponds, well water or city water, I do not plow till, do not use hydroponics, do not use drip irrigation, no sprinkler systems, and do not use special mulch, I do not water plants after they are transplanted into my system, and use no chemicals.
I do not have to spray for any insects. I do occasionally watch them to see how they are growing, AND I DO GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO SUE THE PANTS OFF ME IF YOU EVER HEAR ME ASKING FOR MONEY.
All I ask is that you help me develop this because I am the only one with this secret in the world and it has the potential to help so many people living in areas that have little rain but not enough to have a successful garden. I want to share it so people do not have to worry where their next meal is coming from, but I want to share it only with people who will write me back here, and post their results and questions. Thank you for your reply. I look forward to posting when I hear from you.
Jon Hutton
His House Inc.
Jon, (if that is your name)
You will pardon me for thinking that this post comes off as extremely immodest if not lunatic.
I have also worked for many years on the issue of growing food plants without irrigation. However, never, ever, would I make such an absurd claim as this, from your post:
" I am the only one with this secret in the world"
I am quite familiar with mental illnesses, we have it on both sides of the family, and that statement, IMO, is a fairly classic piece of egomania. I would encourage you to acknowledge such and seek help. Or you could explain how you came to learn how to grow crops on little rain in tropical rainy Guatemala (which would have zero value for the temperate zones, rainy or arid), or did you learn it someplace else?
ok I agree that did sound very egotistical but if I could word it in another way, I would humbly say I do not know of anyone doing this same method that I am doing. Neither do the universities that are looking at my method with me. I wanted to mention this first before any one related with this project would try to solely claim credit. Yes, Jon Hutton is my real name, I have nothing to hide. Guatemala usually is very humid except for the 5 months out of the year that it doesn't rain. I will write more when I get back to the house. I am on my cell phone right now. Thank you for your comments.
Hello everyone,
Here are a series of photos that show the process. You will understand completely when you see it. I had to change all the pics in one of my pdf's to pictures. I have many other pdf's I would be glad to share with those who want, where I show the process with different host trees. I use the same process to grow celery, peppers, beans and am currently trying it with sweet corn which is a real thursty creature.
In a few minutes or over the next few days I will post more pictures with other experiments. I stumbled on this over nine years ago, and put it away because my life back then was very complicated. After purchasing a piece of property, I saw it had 10 guayaba trees that were in a place that I would have to use. I almost cut them down but decided to do the tests again. They were the right height, Probably about 4 years old, 3 feet tall, with 100 leaves. I took a very thin plastic bag and placed it completely over the tree. After 30 minutes the bag was misting, after 1 hour there were noticeable drops forming on the inside of the bag that were dripping on the bottom of the bag. I noticed that the wind was causing the drops to pool in the bottom. After 2 days the bag had over a liter of water. I emptied it and placed the starter tomato plant in the bag. I first thought I would kill the host tree and the experiment would come to a screeching halt. The experiment lasted over a month and the the host tree was doing so well it was blooming in the bag. Since this proof of concept experiment I have tested the process on Elm, maple, cottonwood, Avocado, figs, and various fruit trees with the same success. There are some trees that transpire better than others but all evaporate great quantities of water. I have not done tests on pines, ceders or desert plants or shrubs, banana or fan palms. I am currently only using the guayaba because it is really resistant to high humidity. This process could easily be used in conjunction with drip irrigation. In fact I used to use drip until it finally dawned on me to put the vegetable inside the same bag as the host tree. As far as the tomato plant goes. It ended up with so much water in the bag I had to add another 3 tomato plants. You can use a hole punch toward the bottom to middle of the bag and place the holes if the tree is transpiring too much water. There are 3 universities that are currently taking on this project, but they have just started with gathering my info.

What you are doing is not new. Many people use this technique to start seeds and keep young plants growing healthy. They may not use tree bags, but the principal is the same: water, then trap the humidity via ziploc bag, saran wrap, plastic sheeting, seedling tray, etc.
That being said, it is not advisable to use this method for prolonged periods of time (unless you are trying to grow a humid-hungry plant in an area with low humidity), because where humidity is present, mold and other yuckies thrive. So, in the long term, you could actually kill your plants.
Also, I would rather choose appropriate plants for my environment so I don't have to water (unless there is a freak drought) than have them covered by unsightly plastic year round.
Just my two cents!
This was taken at 4:00 pm usual transpiration I am getting with this species of guayaba. The bag has been on the tree for almost 2 months. This is why people have not tried this before because it is said you will damage the tree. I have challenged this idea with great success.

This really goes against conventional gardening. Perhaps we have been going against nature all along. Slash and burn, when we should of been planting trees and rows and rows of vegetables. What got me thinking about this process was I was looking through old dust bowl days photos. I noticed that in some of the shots the trees along old dried riverbeds were still quite green, while showing in the foreground the family garden ruined from lack of rain. I took a zip lock sandwich bag and stuffed a few fig leaves in it and watched it for a day. At the end of a day it had about a tablespoon of water in the bottom of the bag.
This is not water conservation by protecting evaporation. It is using the transpiration process of trees to water plants. A healthy oak with transpire up to 40,000 gallons of water per year. It will only use 1 percent of the water for the photosynthesis. The process of placing plastic over tilled up rows of ground is not new. I agree, but you still have to water, spray for bugs, and weed. I have never had to do any of that from seed to harvest. To prove the point further I started a garden at the base of a large elm in the middle of a school that had placed concrete right up to the base of the tree. Using bags on branches and tubes dripping water onto the plants at the base of the tree sitting on the concrete.

Your experiment and results are interesting.
However, the main flaw in my opinion, and as someone who live in a dry area, is that those trees you use are trees which perspire. In dry areas like mine, the adapted trees don't perspire : pine trees, oleanders, pytosporums, wild shrubs of which I don't know the names in English, have leaves that shut the water Inside. Those which perspire grow along rivers or in watered gardens.
Physiologically, some plants absorb water by their roots when they perspire, perspiration through the leaves create aspiration of water by the roots. But those adapted to dry climate don't function like that.
But I might be wrong.
Although I can't really see how I could honestly put a plastic bag on those nasty wild shrubs without making holes everywhere, my hands included.
I'll make pictures of the vegetation around my place near a river and a few feet away today when walking the dogs, so that the difference between watered/unwatered is more obvious.
I think Francois has touched on just one of the many differences between arid/temperate and tropical/humid.
A dry season is not the same as an arid climate. I am familiar with gardening in florida, which like central america has a 5 month dry season. Some years there is almost no rain during that time, others there is some but not a lot. Unlike Guatemala, Florida mostly has a perishingly dry sand soil which greatly magnifies the lack of rainfall. One will notice that grasses and forbs grow much more lushly in the partial shade of large trees due to both the shade reducing loss of moisture from the sand plus the early morning dew that drips of the many leaves of the tree.
Jon, this is interesting, directly capturing moisture from the transpiration of a small tree. However, I suggest that to use new plastic is the wrong direction for us to go in. If it's repurposed plastic then that is another thing.
Tomato is a moisture-hog, as you know. Tomato is also native to your region, so clearly it knows how to survive the dry season without help. It does so by picking its spot - moist rich soil but not totally water-logged. IME, even supposedly water-hungry crops can survive on low rainfall if they are in deep rich soil. Such is the idea behind hugelkulture.
I tend to bear in mind Albrecht's saying: "fertility is the best drought-hedge". So building super-live soils over time would be a much better direction to go than any kind of above-ground shenanigans, and certainly the use of plastics, etc.
I was born in Tampa Florida, but I have spent the last 20 years here in Guatemala. I had the impression that Guatemala is a lush tropical rainforest, but quickly learned differently. I was told there are 17 climate zones here including desert (although I can not find the documentation on the internet to prove this). The humidity levels between the months of October to May can crash to less than 30%. Compare this to various places in Florida. I do not want to get into any kind of tit for tat here. Like I mentioned I only want to share this idea and all my research surrounding it with people who are interested in duplicating and improving the results which have the potential to help out so many living in many places, especially 3rd world countries. Trash dumps could become gardens, Trees growing on open sewers in shanti towns, mountain tops and other areas could support gardens and all types of crops, but it would take radical redesignign. This might be the one biggest hindering factor. Yes, a bagged tree could be an eyesore, but worse would be to cut it down and smolder it for charcoal. All trees transpire 99% more water than is needed for its survival through photosynthesis. Today I finally did the test with great results on 2 different species of ceder tree. If you are interested in continuing this discussion please let me know here. I know I set many off with my bold remarks, sorry for ofending you if I did. This may not be for everybody but it could help some where gardening was never even a possibility. Please let me know. By the way the celery, peppers and tomatos are growing great and I have not watered them ever. We had .20 inches of rain that I shielded the plants from getting wet.

I said I would send you pic hence here they are. I took them yesterday, to illustrate how it is round here and that's not even considered as very dry. Especially this summer with 37 % more rain than usual.
As you can see, it would be very difficult to wrap the local "trees" in plastic, whether recycled or PLA or worse, brand new.
I also think that wrapping trees in plastic will kill them pretty fast. So what's the use of killing a thriving tree to grow a tomato ?
I also wonder whether I'm wasting my time being gullible when answering this crazy thread ;-)
You, Jon, are saying that keeping a small tree wrapped in plastic will not kill it. All common sense and experience says otherwise. Plus, what is the point in using a resource-intensive high pollution-causing product to grow a tomato plant when any experienced gardener knows there are other ways to do it?
I do want to get into tit for tat, IOW, cut the crap. You say you were born in FL, clearly to imply that means you know about food production in FL. Do you? I was raised in FL, but didn't learn a thing about food production there until later. In any case, if the extent of your experience is in FL and Gautemala, then you effectively know nothing about food-production in north america.
Regardless of how dry it gets in Guatemala (and obviously you know that winter in central FL also can get to very low humidity), a tropical region is simply not going to offer useful comparisons for temperate climates. I mean let's get real. In the tropics there is a staggering range of spectacular land-races that can be established (without wrapping trees in plastic), which either cannot exist in temperate zones or must be treated as annuals (common tomato being one tiny example). Vines, trees, bushes, forbs.
I think you must know all this, and you must think this forum is full of morons.
Jon ... All you are doing is creating a "terrarium" also called "Wardian Case", which was invented in the 1830s.
But you are doing it with plastic bags instead of glass panels.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wardian Case
I understand How you could think they are similar, but there are large differences in that one is used to conserve the water. What I am doing is raising the temperature to a point that causes the host plant to open the pores (stomata) to allow a regulated dew point to water the secondary plants. For the same reason that the plants did not die in Nathaniel Wards glass houses is the same principle that mine do not die. It is never noted that he used it to grow gardens by drip irrigation, but it is good to know that this is in the same family of a proven work. I have recently. The following pictures will explain more with celery, Jalapeno plants. This was an experiment a while back. Now I use white bag to protect the evaporation of the soil layer, and poles inserted in 2 liter bottles to keep the bag off of less tolerant species of trees. I use a variation of this to just place the bags over limbs to water plants below.
The following is how the plant is growing. I realized that the plastic is too thin and slows down the transpiration process too much. By using a thinner bag the wind shakes it and causes less humidity to build up. I will post hygrometer readings that are crucial for this process to provide max efficiency. There is also enough dirt in the bag for up to 10 plants.
I would never think that people here are morons! As a matter of fact I consider most all people on this forum more knowledgable than I am on the subject of Organic Gardening. My father was a biology teach and always had me working on his project. I wish I would of paid more attention to what he was trying to teach me. I have lived in Indiana, and worked for pioneer seed. I spent 2 years in Kenya, Africa. Many years in Oklahoma, have been all over the U.S. especially North Dakota. However, the last 20 years here in Guatemala. I now have an event center here in Guatemala that I use to help support the work of the primary school where I am director of about 170 students. This is the picture of the event center that I have worked on for a few years.
Here is our 100 ft (small) herb garden. Anise, basil, tomillo, and many other plants. I know this is probably very poorly done for many who are seeing these pictures. Even though this is a bit off subject I would welcome your comments and critique. My parents were from Kansas and retired there so the sun flower is in memory of them. Gotta love sunflowers.
My current project is sweet corn with this method.
I still wouldn't do it. Too much of a risk as far as making it an excellent reservoir for fungi, bacteria, and dreaded fungus gnats. I battle those issues often, even when I don't manipulate mother nature.
Plants have survived naturally on their own without intervention from humans for millions of years.
As I mentioned in my previous post, no way in h-e-double-hockey sticks will I plastic my entire garden. It is ugly and goes against everything I know about the way nature works.
We get enough rain in the PNW anyway.
Why not have started with a more balanced and informative posting, like these later ones, instead of a very bizarro intro? It was big turn-off, for me. It's hard to get over someone thinking they know something that not one other person in the entire world knows.
Still, (or perhaps because) this thread is getting a lot of action for a nearly dead forum.
Ok, AuroraWa, This is not for everyone. I have buried many people here because of health problems and starvation. Here is a picture (one of the first pictures of this community that is now over 7000 people) of where I visited and later bought a piece of property. Drilled a 700ft well, and provided water to over 4000 people. After Hurricane Mitch the people were unloaded by the truckload like a scene from Grapes of Wrath. They had no water the the ground too rocky, The streams were from sewers, no one was planting to bear crops. I am currently trying this method here but have just started. Perhaps other places in the undeveloped world could benefit from this, recycled plastic bags work just as well and can be sewn or melted together to fit over most scrub trees.
Your right, I am sorry this was such a big turn off. Here is the reason. I started a thread like this only much more low key on. Organic Gardening. Several people jumped on me right away saying I was trying to put up spam. After posting the start of what I did here. The administrator erased everything I wrote, and pulled my registration. That's okay. It takes a whole lot more than that to rankle me. I knew I had to make a big point up front to tell people this was not spam.......and, perhaps I overdid it on the bragadoshis, egotisticle manner of presenting this. Thanks for sticking it out.
Having read the whole thing...perhaps there is value in water poor countries that have subsoil moisture (like your area).
Here where most of the US has ample water, or we have climate and terrain with little to no-subsoil moisture, your technique isn't very ummm applicable/impressive/desirable, but I can see in places where water is scarce, it could be useful.
francoisefromaix...Wow you were not kidding. That stuff looks dangerous. I would probably try to place thin plastic over some of those scrub oaks to see, what if any moisture comes off the plant. This method is also a good way to measure how long of intervals you can go without watering your garden. For instance check the transpiration rate of a plant in your garden (don't worry it is a small test and it will not kill the plant). Then take the area in square inches that the plant occupies. If you are working with a circle take radius squared times pi. multiply it times the inches of rainfall at any given time. Then divide it by the quantity of water the plant transpired in a day the result is how many days before the plant will transpire all the rain from the recent rainfall. There are variables so it would be best to do the test under the hottest part of the day in full sun. From this you will know the worst case scenario or the shortest evaporation time. I would also subtract a day for soil evaporation.

Ok, thanks, Jon, finally we get to the crux of the deal. I had a feeling there was some urgency behind this idea, just didn't know what: random mania, save the world, etc.
So you see this as a method for people to grow food in disrupted situations, I take it? Obviously in a warm climate where there is enough rainfall to have plenty of small trees and shrubs. Could there be enough re-purposeable plastic bags/sheeting, etc, in a situation like that?
Again, I question whether this would be a more effective method than some other method not requiring plastic. Ditto for the pots and potting soil, is such going to be available in quantity in difficult circumstances?
I don't know about the world, but definitely a few could benefit from this. In Third world cheap plastic sheeting, and plastic bags are in abundance, so yes this could be very applicable in Africa, hati, most all of central America. I would only be guessing but I am sure others.
You haven't answered my question about the pots. We know that production is very small if one confines a plant's roots to a pot. If planted in the ground and the tomato becomes full size and thriving then it will be accessing the same nutrients and moisture as the small tree next to it.
Perhaps the plants are potted because of this? You are using the condensed water to raise the plant, and then going to move it to another location when it outgrows the pot?
Ohhhhh, I didn't understand what pots you were referring to. The tomato is not in a pot. The starter was given to me about dead in a black plastic bag with holes in it. So I took it and placed it in the host tree. This was the first experiment to prove the concept would work. The next was to apply dirt (potting soil) directly in the bag to allow room for root growth. The next was to melt plastic dividers in the bag to make cones so the vapor collects and drips down the sides of the bag into the cones and waters the roots from the bottom. Much better response this way. The whole process is aimed at evaporation reduction. If I let the root ball of the plant and host tree coexist I would lose the ability to control the water content and chem makeup of soil. But, what you are saying makes sense. A person could drip the water back on itself to reduce evaporation, water loss into the atmosphere.

There are hundreds of variables of this process I have not worked out, and that is where I am hoping, people here can help. Such as maintaining max transpiration rates, water yield rates by tree throughout the year, water from tree vapor makeup and how this effects flavor of different fruits and vegetables, application of fertilizers, and organic composts, best methods for larger crops such as vines and tall plants.....corn, beans, etc. I could go on and on, but this is new and to me perhaps because of where I live, worth the time and energy.
Please don't think I am so conceited that I think people will grow a third arm to stop what they are doing to work on this. Of course not. Even if someone helps with one aspect, it would help. Yes, KSU, Colorado, and California are showing interest in looking at this, but it will be years before any usable data comes out. Thanks for wadding through all this. Jon H.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Optimal learning requires good emotional and physical health. DoDEA School Health Services works together with families and community for children's health. The school nurse at each DoDEA school works with the school administrator to provide an environment that promotes optimal wellness and safety for all students. The school nurse provides individualized quality health care for students, emphasizes health education at all levels and utilizes available community and school resources to promote an overall healthy lifestyle for students, staff and families. Some of the core services of a school nurse are:
~ Conducting health screenings
~ Providing specialized health care and services
~ Assessing and evaluating individual growth and development
~ Monitoring of students' immunizations
~ Acting as a resource for faculty, parents and students
~ Providing individual health counseling to service emotional and physical health needs
~ Identifying and referring possible pediatric and adolescent health problems for early diagnosis and treatment
~ Evaluating and monitoring communicable diseases
~ Conducting health related classroom instruction
~ Acting as an advocate for children with special needs
~ Serving as a liaison with parents and community health agencies
~ Providing educational and promotional activities for healthy lifestyles of our students and staff
The purpose of the School Health Services is to strengthen the educational process by improving the health status and health knowledge of students. The goal of the program is to help students become responsible for their own health and wellness. The school nurse is not in a position to diagnosis your child's health concerns, to prescribe medication or to offer a prognosis. Please allow your family's primary care physician to make all decisions regarding the health of your child.
Students who are ill should stay home for the protection of the child and others. If a student becomes ill during the school day, the parent or guardian will be notified to pick up the student. If a parent cannot be reached, the emergency contact person will be notified. If we are unable to reach the emergency contact, the sponsor's supervisor will be contacted.
Any student with the following symptoms or communicable diseases should not be sent to school, and will be sent home:
DoDEA policy states that a child must be fever free (temperature less than 100°) for 24 hours WITHOUT Tylenol or Motrin. Unfortunately, many children return to school the day after they have been sent home with 100°+ temps. These children are still potentially infectious and they will be sent back home. Please help us protect our large population from the spread of all infectious occurrences.
For the protection of your child and school staff, we must adhere to DoDEA standards of safety measures regarding the administration of medication.
Medications must be kept in a locked cabinet at school, with the exception of asthma medication. Students diagnosed with asthma must have doctor and parental permission to carry their medication as well as a signed statement taking responsibility for the proper use of the medication.
Children are not allowed to remain in school if their temperature is 100 degrees or more.
Please keep your emergency contact information up to date in case your child becomes ill and we need to contact you.
Injuries requiring minor first-aid treatment such as scrapes, cuts, minor burns, and insect stings will be managed at the school level by one of our Registered Nurses or other appropriate school personnel.
In the case of serious injury or illness the following procedure will be followed:
Educate, Engage, and Empower each student to succeed in a dynamic world.
To be among the world's leaders in education, enriching the lives of military-connected students and the communities in which they live.
A community that inspires all students to be life long learners who think, achieve, and care about the world.

First at my church there are three equal pastors so I needed all three's permission to carry in church. Second I trust these gentleman as much as my own family.
Nobody at my church knows I have a CPL, after recent events I decided to ask them for permission to carry at church.
We were eating lunch together, the four of us, the other day when they actually brought up the shooting at the church and how a lady stopped the BG. I mentioned what it takes in order to be able to carry in a church and then asked what their official position as pastors would be on a member carrying in the building. They didn't think any thing of it.
As we got back to the church I I asked, "So just to clarify not one of you would mind if I were to carry a firearm?" Their eyes got a little big as I walked to my car and they said no. I open my door to get my Bible and one pastor yells, "Geez XXXX, you don't have to get it right now". I turned around and said, "No Pastor, I'd have to put it away right now. I've had it on all day."
Wow you want to talk about saucers for eyes. They were cool with just not quite used to the idea. I'm glad I could educate them.

U.S. Census figures released this month show that 10 of the Adirondack Park's 12 counties saw a moderate increase in population since 2000.
Other exclusively rural areas of the state saw their populations decline.
Environmentalists are interpreting this data as evidence that environmental regulations are helping to make the Adirondacks a more attractive place to live than other rural areas.
Adirondack Council Executive Director Brian Houseal said the Park is the envy of rural New York.
"Our public lands are getting larger and wilder and, overall, our year-round and seasonal populations continue to grow," Houseal said.
"It reinforces our belief that the Adirondack Park is a special and desirable place to live, not in spite of land-use rules, but because of them," he added.
Census data shows that other rural areas fared worse than the Park, including some western, central and southern areas of the state.
The Adirondack Park is comprised of parts of 12 counties, containing all or part of 92 towns and 12 villages. Of those, only Hamilton and Oneida counties suffered a population loss. Only a tiny portion of Oneida County is inside the Adirondacks and its major urban areas, including Rome and Utica, have been declining in population over the years.
George Canon, supervisor of the town of Newcomb and chairman of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board, was not as jubilant about the census report.
He noted that Newcomb's population was among many towns that saw a population dip.
"Is there any relationship at all between public land ownership and people moving to the Park?" Canon asked, pointing out that Hamilton County has a high percentage of state land and yet their population dropped by 11 percent.
Canon said other counties with land inside the Blue Line may have increased in population because of trends in urban and suburban areas outside the Park. A relatively small chunk of Saratoga County is inside the Blue Line, and its population grew by more than 6 percent. Warren and Jefferson, which are also on the Park's fringe, saw population growth of more than 3 percent.

Match Preview
Gannon ponders options Manager Jim Gannon must decide whether to stick or twist with his starting XI as Port Vale welcome Oxford. Gannon made one change for Tuesday`s 2-2 draw at Shrewsbury, handing a deserved recall to Louis Dodds following his impressive winner against Macclesfield last weekend. And, although they certainly put in a shift at the Greenhous Meadow, the half-time introduction of the returning Gary Roberts and fellow midfielder Rob Taylor added something extra to Vale`s play. Gannon is not expected to have any new injury or suspension concerns as the Valiants look to continue their recent form which has seen them lose just one of their last eight games. Centre-back Gareth Owen (ankle) continues to work his way back to full fitness but the clash is likely to come too soon for him. Meanwhile, captain and leading scorer Marc Richards is aiming for his 100th goal in senior football having reached 98 with Tuesday`s brace at Shrewsbury. Oxford will be without the suspended Anthony Tonkin for the trip. The defender was sent off for two bookable offences against Stockport last weekend and will serve a one-match suspension. United boss Chris Wilder named an unchanged side for a fourth consecutive game against the Hatters, but after the 2-1 defeat he is likely to make changes. If Wilder opts to change his defence, Ben Purkiss and Djoumin Sangare are waiting in the wings for a recall as the Us try to end a run of three successive defeats. Midfielder Simon Clist and striker Alfie Potter are pushing for starts after coming off the bench at Edgeley Park. Simon Heslop and Asa Hall scored for the reserves in midweek and should retain their places in midfield.

Match Report
Wilder changes pay off Oxford manager Chris Wilder saw his wholesale changes pay-off after a fine 2-1 win at Port Vale. Wilder made seven changes after three straight defeats and came up trumps as Harry Worley netted a second-half winner. Jack Midson squandered two excellent early chances for the fired up visitors before Vale made the breakthrough following a 27th-minute penalty. Tom Pope was pushed to the ground by Ben Purkiss and Marc Richards put away the rebound after Ryan Clarke had dived to block his spot-kick. Oxford were gifted a 33rd-minute equaliser when Chris Martin fumbled Alfie Potter's long-range shot against the crossbar and Midson tapped in the loose ball. Martin, who was guilty of another poor error against Stevenage last month, paid the price for his gaffe when he was replaced by Stuart Tomlinson at half-time. But Tomlinson had no chance when centre-half Worley gave Oxford the lead 13 minutes into the second period. Josh Payne's shot was deflected into the path of Worley who smashed an angled drive across Tomlinson and into the far corner of the net. Vale boss Jim Gannon bolstered his firepower with Louis Dodds and Justin Richards coming off the bench, but the visitors held firm for a deserved victory.

Silver fire spreads smoke into area
EL PASO, TX (KTSM) — El Paso is more than a hundred miles away from the Silver fire, but the air quality shows otherwise.
The smell of smoke lingered in the air and a thick haze was visible hanging over the Franklin Mountains.
According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, most of it is from the Silver Fire.
Residents with breathing problems are advised to limit their time outdoors for the next couple of days.
In Las Cruces conditions were even worse. The Organ Mountains weren't visible Wednesday. The winds shifted overnight, carrying the smoke from the northwest and will stick around for a few more days.
The winds aren't expected to change direction until some time Thursday.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Researchers with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center and UAB Department of Chemistry have won an $805,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program to study whether dead cancer cells left over after treatment encourage cancer's spread to other parts of the body.
The research centers on examining inactivated or altered genetic material (DNA) left in the body after breast-cancer cells are exposed to chemotherapy. UAB researchers say the resulting altered DNA may be the factor that activates the spread of living cancer cells to distant locations in the body a deadly process called metastasis through a specific molecular pathway.
Learning more about this metastasis pathway could lead to major improvements in prevention, treatment and follow-up care for millions of cancer patients, says Katri Selander, M.D., Ph.D., an assistant professor in the UAB Division of Hematology and Oncology and co-principal researcher on the grant.
"What if by killing cancer cells with chemotherapy we inadvertently induce DNA structures that make surviving cancers cells more invasive? The idea is tough to stomach," Selander says. "Fundamentally this question must be answered to advance the knowledge base and to know all the risks and benefits of cancer treatment.
"This research has the potential to reach across numerous scientific disciplines, and may one day improve the lives of patients worldwide."
Metastasis is the No. 1 cause of cancer recurrence and treatment failure.
The new grant expands on a research partnership between Selander and her team of researchers and those working in the laboratory of David Graves, Ph.D., chair of the UAB Department of Chemistry. Graves and his team are characterizing the DNA structures and other factors that induce metastasis in surviving cancer cells.
The pathway activated by the dead cancer cells is med

No parent wants to see a child struggle in school, but even straight-A students sometimes run into trouble. Maybe it's a tough unit in math, or a rough patch with friends. For some kids, problems may run deeper, and perhaps even include learning disabilities which will require careful attention over a long haul.
How can parents figure out the difference between temporary and long-term learning issues, and seek the best kind of help?
Formal Evaluations
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), any concerned parent has the right to request a formal evaluation for special ed services. But as many experienced teachers and parents will tell you, a full evaluation can be a "big gun," requiring many hours of intensive testing and analysis, often stretching over months.
In the past, kids waiting for these evaluations and their results may just have languished. Then, if a child was found eligible, she might have received an IEP (Individualized Education Program), or perhaps a "504" plan that provided classroom accomodations and modifications. If not, however, there often was not much parents or schools could do.
That's why so many folks are excited about "Response to Intervention," (RTI), a new initiative that is sweeping American education. "Within an RTI framework," explains Mary Beth Klotz, PhD., Director of IDEA Projects for the National Association of School Psychologists, "students receive interventions and their progress is monitored closely…students do not have to 'wait to fail.'"
How RTI Works
RTI begins with strong, research-based teaching for every child. In this first "tier," all students are screened periodically, and some may be identified for extra support. If they're still struggling after a few weeks, "Tier 2" provides small-group, supportive help, most often within the classroom setting. If that still doesn't help, a student can be moved to "Tier 3"—what the RTI Action Network describes as "individualized, intensive interventions that target the students' skill deficits."
Fans of RTI—and there are many in the professional educators' community—praise its capacity to improve learning for all students, not just those in trouble. "We think," says Nancy Reder, Deputy Executive Director of the National Association of State Directors of Special Education, that "it's not just a special ed strategy. We think it's a good instructional approach for all students."
Indeed, adds Klotz, RTI "has the potential for major educational reform," and schools may finally be able to "bridge the gap between general education and special education; improve educational outcomes, and decrease special education referrals and the labeling of students as having a disability when they do not."
If RTI is successful, it may also address a problem which has plagued special education: what Klotz terms the "disproportionate representation of students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in special education."
Research shows, for example, that students who speak English as a second language may take five to seven years to become fluent in the "cognitive academic language" our schools require. Does that mean they need special ed? Not at all—and yet, too often across the nation, they seem to end up there. Properly applied, RTI's "continuum of supports" may make a profound difference for such learners.

Ian Desmond SS WAS 4 Months
Desmond turned down a seven-year, $107 million contract extension last offseason, the Washington Post reports.
He'll be a free agent after 2015, and the Nats will make re-signing Desmond one of their top priorities, but given the market for slugging shortstops you can hardly blame him for thinking he could do significantly better than that amount.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 4 Months
Desmond won his third straight NL Silver Slugger award on Thursday.
His batting average dropped this season to .255, but Desmond still racked up his third straight 20 HR-20 SB season and set a career high with 91 RBI. He'll be eligible from free agency after 2015, assuming he doesn't sign an extension with the Nationals, so don't look for Desmond to slack off next season.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 5 Months
Nationals manager Matt Williams said "there's a chance" Desmond could miss a game during the NLDS or the postseason to be with his pregnant wife, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reports.
Desmond will man short and bat fifth, as per usual, in Saturday's Game 2, but his wife is due soon, so he could end up missing a game at some point. If so, the Nats would presumably just shift Asdrubal Cabrera to short, with Danny Espinosa or perhaps Anthony Rendon stepping in at second.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 5 Months
Desmond is not in the lineup for Game 2 of the Nationals' doubleheader Friday.
Desmond played in the first game of the doubleheader as he did in yesterday's doubleheader but will sit for Game 2. Danny Espinosa will get the start at short and will bat seventh for the Nationals.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 5 Months
Desmond is not in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets, William Ladson of MLB.com reports.
After going 1-for-2 with an RBI in the matinee, Desmond will get the nightcap off. Danny Espinosa will slide over to shortstop, while Asdrubal Cabrera enters the lineup at second base.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 6 Months
Desmond is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.
Desmond has been a staple at shortstop for the Nationals this season, starting 149 of their 154 games up to this point. With the team having already clinched their playoff spot, however, Desmond will give way to Danny Espinosa in what looks to be a regular day of rest. Manager Matt Williams also elected to give regulars Denard Span and Jayson Werth a day off for the Sunday afternoon tilt.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 6 Months
Desmond is not in the lineup Wednesday, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.
The Nationals regulars are all getting the day off after clinching a playoff berth Tuesday, and probably celebrating into the night. Danny Espinosa will start at shortstop Wednesday, and Desmond should be back in the lineup in short order.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 6 Months
Desmond went 2-for-4 Tuesday with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and his 23rd home run of the season.
The home run is his first since the end of August, but over his last 10 games Desmond is hitting .333 (13-for-39) with seven RBI and nine runs scored.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 6 Months
Desmond (back) is in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
As expected, Desmond will return for the opener against the Mets after missing the finale against Atlanta with a lower-back issue. The 28-year-old Desmond is 4-for-9 with two homers in his career against Thursday's starter Bartolo Colon.
Ian Desmond SS WAS 6 Months
Manager Matt Williams expects Desmond (back) to return to the lineup on Thursday, the Washington Post reports.
The power-hitting shortstop will be a key part of the Nationals' offense and defense as they try to lock up the NL East title over the next few weeks, so it's reassuring to see that his back issue isn't serious.

his is really an alternative way of making rounded corners on images online.I think this way is unique, I have never seen people making rounded corners on images this way, or tutorial on doing it this way, so I made it my self.
There are good and bad things about my way of doing things.
The bad thing is, you cant right click the image and get its properties etc.
The good thing about that is, it gives a small copyright protection, (people cant right click your images and choose save image, they would only get the frame). More detail...

"Cambodia's Curse" details the country's ongoing troubles
(Read article summary)Journalist Joel Brinkley calls Cambodia "a country of 13 million people who are being terribly abused."
Since the Vietnam War and its darkest days during the Pol Pot regime, Cambodia has mostly been out of sight and out of mind. It's time to change that, contends journalist Joel Brinkley in his new book Cambodia's Curse: The Modern History of a Troubled Land.
The former reporter for the New York Times first traveled to Cambodia in the 1970s and returned recently to find a nation and its people still suffering.

The plants do provide jobs: Vinocor, which has the capacity to produce three million corks per day in a single plant, has 400 employees from Portugal alone. The forests also provide conservation arenas for endangered species, such as the roe deer and the red partridge, and cork, it must be noted, is an organic renewable resource. The Stelvin screwcap isn't exactly biodegradable, and some recycling companies don't accept it along with glass and paper.
But natural cork stoppers are not exactly a money-maker for all involved. Cork harvesters can only wield their hammers from May through September, when the tree is in a growing stage and the bark is dry enough to fall away from the trunk easily. They also work under contractors, whom the farmer hires. They are the equivalent of Homestead's migrant Mexican avocado pickers. Can you say subsistence wages?
For another thing, a tree must be at least 25 years old before it is large enough to harvest for the first time. This batch is called virgin cork and is used for corkboards and shoes -- it's not yet the right quality for cork stoppers. Neither is the second harvest, nine full years later. Which means that the first time cork can be turned into stoppers is when the tree produces a third crop at 43 years of age. Imagine waiting that long for a crop of corn or beans.
Still for the cork industry to perish completely, several variables must be met: American winemakers would have to make the initial investment involved in changing the shape of the bottle in order to accommodate screwcaps. The American consumer's aesthetics would have to be similarly revised, a possibility if you consider that even the wine-drinkers in the Loire Valley are now being re-educated to go pro-screwcap. (Sauvion, take heed.) And the Chinese would have to stop playing badminton, 'cause their love for the game alone could keep Portuguese farmers putting a cork in it.

Surprisingly wonderful week-long stay. We selected Hotel Q only because we couldn't find at the last minute a centrally located hotel over the Xmas holidays, but were pleased with various unexpected extras, including, most importantly, free transportation around the city of Oaxaca and very reasonably priced chauffeured day trips in a Jeep Liberty (Monte Alban, Mitla, Ocotlan, Teotitlan, etc.) (The...

Thanks Judith, I'm obsessed with Black&white at the moment, I may abandon colour all together for a while :)
I think that's a good idea! It's fun to experiment, and do something different, even if it's only for a little while. B&w would suit and underline your already beautiful style! I'm looking forward to seeing more :-)
