The first floor of the Bush House in Index needs the most renovation. The structure had slipped and sunk into the ground, requiring the owners to put it on a new foundation.

Blair Corson is restoring the historic Bush House in Index. Corson hopes to have it running again as the only hotel in Index by summer.
Much of the original furniture that was in the Bush House before it closed is still in the historic structure.

A room on the third floor of the Bush House is shown where owner Blair Corson plans to have a hostel.
The 9,000-square-foot building has its windows covered and there's a big hole in the first floor. Walls are missing. And it needs a big drainfield.
The good news: it's no longer sinking or rotting, which were the reasons the hotel closed in 2001.
"It doesn't look good, but it has not been this structurally strong as it is right now," said Blair Corson, the new owner of the Bush House.
Corson, 32, is renovating the three-floor hotel at 308 Fifth St. in hopes of turning it back into a community gathering spot.
Corson took out a $400,000 loan to buy it Jan. 1 and pay for renovations. He, his family and some friends have managed to lift the building to install a new foundation, and they put on a new roof and reframed damaged walls. Corson hopes to finish all work by April and have the building ready for guests by summer.
Corson's family runs Outdoors Adventures Center, which is located at the former Index tavern, which the family bought in 2006.
The Bush House will not be part of the family business. Corson wants to attract community investment so residents can share the profits.
"It's vital that the town stays in control of it," Corson said.
Corson plans to have 10 guest rooms on the second floor and a hostel in the third. There is work being done in a cottage nearby. In total, he expects room for 40 guests.
He doesn't think he will have a hard time finding customers.
His outdoor recreation business has customers who receive training that can last several days. For lodging, he usually recommends hotels in the area, but the closest is 30 minutes away. The area is visited by outdoor activities enthusiasts all year long.
"There is certainly a demand that is not being met," Corson said.
Corson also wants to offer a restaurant and a stage for live music. He is looking for business partners for that end of things.
His biggest challenge is to expand the drainage system. It doesn't threaten the project, but is delaying progress, he said.
The Bush House was built in 1898 to serve the many people traveling over Stevens Pass by train.
It became a community center from the start, said Louise Lindgren, Index-Pickett Historical Museum director.
Tourism has always been one of Index's main industries. At one time the town had five hotels, but the rest were either destroyed by fire or torn down.
There are no written records, but pictures taken at the beginning of the century suggest the hotel was well attended with dances, weddings and parties, Lindgren said.
"It was the place to go to have a really good time, and it served excellent food," Lindgren said.
The food made the hotel famous in the late 1970s and the 1980s. People from Seattle came on the weekends and lined up for lunch, said Sandy Gordon, who worked at the hotel as a cook, waitress and groundskeeper in 1980s and 1990s.
Gordon, 70, saw the hotel's decline in the 1990s. The new owners wanted to make the place more sophisticated and make it look more like Bellevue, she said.
That meant changing the menu, which the locals and regulars didn't like.
"There was no gravy and no fried food on the menu," Gordon said.
People didn't like the working conditions either. Maintenance was neglected and the building started sinking. Doors and windows didn't close, and there were termites, Gordon said.
"It became so bad, customers could see the termites hatch and fly out," she said.
She retired in 2000. The Bush House closed the next year, leaving Index with nowhere to gather and celebrate, she said.
That's why she is happy with Corson's project.
"I think its going to bring new life to the town," Gordon said. "A lot of people are looking forward to this."

Last Saturday, at exactly 4 a.m., I was snoozing away when all at once I sat straight up in bed.
What in the world is that sound? My heart was just pounding. I got up and looked out the window. Nothing.
I went down the hall and into the kitchen and looked out. Nothing.
But I could still hear it.
It was a varmint of some kind, and it sounded like it was fairly close under my bedroom windows, which are on the second floor.
Let's see if I can tell you what it sounded like.
I think I could do better if I were at the piano. It was five or six "notes" then a couple more. Pause for a few minutes, then the notes again, on different keys, like EEGGC-BA, not necessarily in the preceding order, but just to give you some idea of the sound.
My explanation doesn't make much sense even to me, but it's as close as I can come to the sound.
Again six notes, brief pause, two more notes.
The sounds continued for at least 20 minutes because at 4:20 a.m. they were still going when I looked at the clock and fell asleep.
OK. This past Sunday night at 11:30 p.m., the sounds started again. The exact same sounds.
Hmm, thinks I. I'll get up and just take a more careful look around. I tippy-toed from room to room, window to window.
Nothing to see, but the sound seemed loudest toward the back yard.
I went downstairs where the windows are very near ground-level. Yes, I could still hear it, continuing in a timely manner, no louder though.
I went back to bed – what else could I do?
Monday night after the news went off, I brushed my teeth and took my vitamin and curled up in bed.
Oh, no. not again — I glanced at the clock. It was 11:30 p.m.
This time whatever was making the noise continued as before for 20 minutes.
Me? I didn't even get up for this performance, but I did sit up in bed in case I had to make a quick move.
I thought about it a lot on Tuesday.
Still, I had no idea what it was, but I knew what it was NOT.
It was not a raucous crow, which we've had many of lately.
It was not a dog nor a cat.
And it was not the heat running.
It was not my fridge either, though it's avocado old.
It was not a car going down the street.
Or squirrels racing across the roof.
I know these sounds and they ain't it.
I grew up on a farm, and I know about animal noises, but I don't ever remember hearing this one before last Saturday morning.
Everybody looked at me like I'd been nipping when I tried to tell them about my sounds in the night.
Fast forward to Tuesday night. I'm watching "Jeopardy."
My son-in-law comes in the back door with a cup of fresh coffee for me in one hand and his flashlight in the other.
"I've solved the mystery of your night visitor," he said. "I've been looking around in the yard and I heard it, too. Turn off the TV," he said.
When I did, I could hear my EEGGC-BA, plain as day – or night.
Skeeter was laughing so, he could hardly tell me what he'd found.
"It's a hooty owl!"
FYI: The proper name for a hooty owl is Barred Owl, and they are common in the eastern

Jacksonville scored all the goals it needed to win Tuesday night late in the first half, but the Cardinals won this soccer match with some bend- don't-break defense in the final minutes of the second half.
Leah Oswalt scored both of the Cardinals' goals, and Jacksonville survived a final push by D.H. Conley to defeat the Vikings 2-1 in a Coastal 3-A Conference game.
The win gave the Cardinals (15-3-2, 12-1) at least a share of the conference title heading into Thursday's regular-season finale at home against rival White Oak (15-3, 10-2), which beat Jacksonville 1-0 earlier this season.
"I think we came out strong today, knowing this was going to be a tough match. And we knew we had to take advantage of every opportunity we had," Oswalt said. "I think we could have done better with that, but we found a way to win."
Jacksonville sure did against D.H. Conley (11-6-1, 9-4), which lost 2-0 to the Cardinals on March 28 in Greenville.
But the Cardinals had to hold on.
Oswalt, a sophomore, scored both Jacksonville goals in the final 3:54 of the first half. The Cardinals then had to fight off the Vikings after D.H. Conley's Olivia Sandy scored 6:28 into the second half.
The Vikings came close to an equalizing goal down the stretch but couldn't find the net again.
"They were pushing numbers up and we didn't do a good job of playing balls out," Jacksonville coach Dave Miller said. "We got in panic mode and just kicked balls, and a lot of the balls we kicked we played to D.H. Conley."
Still, the backfield did enough to prevent the Vikings from scoring again.
"They (Vikings) didn't play so far forward and it helps I have a good defense," Jacksonville senior goalkeeper Krysten Stenclik said. "They are really strong and they play so smart. They are able to clear the ball and play it wide."
Stenclik, though, made the game's biggest stops.
One came with 11:50 left when she slid down the goalline to save a shot from the corner.
However, the biggest save came with 6:45 left when the Vikings' Ava Dawson fired a 30-yard shot that Stenclik tipped up with her right hand. The ball then hit off the crossbar and bounced to the ground before the Cardinals managed to clear it away from danger.
"I jammed my fingers into it and tipped it into the bar," Stenclik said.
Yet the goalie thought Dawson's shot would still go in. So did Miller.
"I thought it was going in, but it was a tremendous save on Krysten's part," he said. "I was like, 'Crap,' and all of the sudden I see it hit the crossbar and I was like, 'Yeah.'"
But it wasn't until the final whistle the Cardinals could finally breathe easier.
"They kept a lot of pressure on us tonight," Miller said.
Jacksonville appeared en route to an easy win after Oswalt gave the Cardinals a 2-0 lead at halftime. She first scored with 3:54 left in the first half after playing a short pass from Karley Holland at the right corner, dribbling toward the middle and delivering a shot past the goalie.
"That was a great ball on Karley's part. She's so great at seeing the open pass to play me in, even if (the space) is so little," Oswalt said. "When I got the ball, I knew exactly what I wanted to do."
But Oswalt wasn't done.
She scored again with 47 seconds left until halftime after playing a long pass from Kristina Stevenson. Oswalt ran past a defender for the ball, eluded the goalkeeper and scored.
"After my first missed shot, 1 on 1, I knew exactly what needed to be done," Oswalt said. "I knew I had to make a small cut."
Oswalt's goals couldn't have come at a better time for the Cardinals.
"We started out being able to maintain possession and creating opportunities," Miller said. "Then they (Vikings) put pressure on us. Then we got settled down again and started moving the ball. It was those combinations in the midfield that opened things up front for us to get Leah in."
The Cardinals don't mind seeing Oswalt contribute in the scoring column, especially now that the playoffs are near. Oswalt was coming off a hat trick in a win over Havelock on Thursday.
"I think Leah just wants to take a step in the leadership direction. She's going to be a junior next year," Stenclik said. "Being a leader, it brings everyone else up when you are doing well."
And the Cardinals hope to continue doing well Thursday when they play host to White Oak, the defending state 3-A champion.
"We don't want to come out cocky and we don't want to come out scared," Stenclik said. "They are our rivals. So it's always a good match."
D.H. Conley 0 1— 1
Jacksonville 2 0— 2
GOALS—D: Sandy. J: Oswalt 2. ASSISTS—None. IN GOAL—D: Loch (3 saves). J: Stenclik (5 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—D 6, J 5. CORNER KICKS—D 4, J 4. RECORDS—D: 11-6-1, 9-4, hosts South Central today. J: 15-3-2, 12-1, hosts White Oak on Thursday.

Sylwadau ac ymatebion:
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: We made a bar chart of how high the crocus plants they are growing. Well they are tall. From F to professor plant. Prof P: Fantastic! Can you send me a picture of your graph? Keep up the good work Bulb Buddies.
Stanford in the Vale Gardening Club: Another week of recordings, we have had a mixture of sunny, cold and windy weather here, but still little rain! We became true scientists today watching the solar eclipse using buckets of water as a reflection. Our grounds are looking beautiful with the daffodils all in flower, swaying in the wind, and bright yellow in colour with the sun shining down on them! Pof P: What a lovely picture you paint of the daffodils! And what a fantastic way to have studied the eclipse! I didn't think of using water, we were using a reflection method but with colanders and paper at the Museum. Keep up the good work Super Scientists.
Tongwynlais Primary School: My daffodil has still not grown. I think it has died Prof P: I'm sorry to hear that your plant hasn't grown. Thank you for logging the information on the website, it is very important to the investigation. You really are a Super Scientist.
Coleg Powys: Sorry I sent the first measurement incorrectly. I thought it was in cm. The second measurement I have submitted is the correct one. Prof P: Thank you for spotting the mistake and rectifying it. I will delete the first entry. You are not the only one to make this mistake and we will add measurement information to the data entry page for next year!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: All the crocus flowers opened this week except for mine! We have been busy measuring them. I hope mine will open soon, it is still quite small. Prof P: I'm glad to hear your plants have flowered and don't worry I'm sure the last one won't be long now!
Rivington Foundation Primary School: It was the highest its been on Wednesday and Thursday and on Friday we were on a school trip. Prof P: Wow Rivington Primary, your temperatures were high for Wednesday and Thursday! 30°c! Your thermometer must have been in direct sunlight and it must have been a very nice day! I hope you enjoyed the weather and your school trip.
Ysgol Clocaenog: Wedi cynhesu yma wythnos yma. Prof P: Helo Ysgol Clocaenog. Rwyf yn hapus i glywed bod y tywydd yn gwella!
Bickerstaffe CE Primary School: Daffodils in the pots have been a little later than the ones planted in the ground. We were surprised by this! We are going to select 2 pots that are at a similar stage and take one of them inside to see if it speeds up. We won't be able to keep the watering the same though - have you any suggestions? We thought about putting an 'umbrella' over the outdoor pot and not watering the one indoors? Professor P: Ooo this sounds like an exciting experiment Bickerstaffe Primary! Let me know how you get on and what your findings are! As for watering the plants, you really are thinking like Super Scientists by trying to keep all variables the same except for the one you are monitoring. This is very important to maintaining fair experiments. In this case, I wouldn't worry about watering them exactly the same. You can keep them roughly the same by looking at how moist or dry the soil is in each pot and watering them accordingly. I think you will see a difference in the plants very quickly if your classroom is nice and warm!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: At last, my crocus finally flowered. It was the last one. From E. Prof P: I'm glad to hear all of your plants have flowered! Thank you for logging your flowering dates and heights.
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Another dry week, since doing this very important investigation, we have noticed we have had very little rain this year. We would like to "Thank You" for allowing us to take part in this study, and we have really enjoyed finding out about the rain fall and taking daily temperature recordings, we spent a lovely afternoon eating ice-cream and drawing our daffodils ready to be judged! This week we have experienced sunshine, especially in the mornings, with winds picking up around lunch time! Stanford would like to wish you all a happy Easter. And we hope to take part in this investigation next year, as we are becoming experts in this field! Prof P: Hello Stanford in the Vale Primary, I should be thanking you for taking part in the project and for all your hard work! I'm glad to hear that you have enjoyed the project and that you will be applying for next year. I look forward to seeing your pictures if you are able to send them in, but the competition itself is not running this year! I will still post any pictures I receive on Twitter and on the Museum Blog. Happy Easter!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: Nearly all our daffodils have flowered now. There is just one bud showing but 2 do not seem to have buds. The mystery plants are growing really well. I think they are daffodils but they are smaller than our daffodils. A and F. Prof P: Hello Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary. I'm glad to hear the mystery bulbs are growing, you are right, they are a different variety of daffodil! It's strange that two of your daffodils don't have buds. Could you send pictures to me? If these plants don't flower then you can still log the details and height on the NMW website. But I'd wait a bit, they might surprise you!
Rivington Foundation Primary School: We had our first 2 flowers flower today one in the ground and one in the pot but we still have a lot more to go though. We think it took such a long time to flower because we have so many trees blocking out some of the sunlight. Prof P: Hi Rivington Foundation Primary, if your plants haven't flowered before the holidays please take them home with you and log their flowering dates on the NMW website. If the trees were shading your plants from the sun this will have had an effect on their growth. Well done for thinking about what effects the environment is having on your plants - you really are Super Scientists.
Ysgol Bro Eirwg: Bylbiau cudd! Rydyn ni'n credu mae cannin pedr bach sydd gennym ni! Prof P: Dda iawn Ysgol Eirwg. Maent yn amrywiaeth wahanol o gennin Pedr!
Coppull Parish Primary School: Yesterday we had strong winds. Unfortunately a wooden pallet blew onto our daffodil plot and damaged some of them before they flowered. Prof P: Hello Coppull Parish Primary. I'm sorry to hear that your plants have been damaged. If they don't look like they will flower you can still log their heights on the Museum website and select 'did not flower' from the menu.
Ysgol Tal y Bont: At the end of the project we found 2 bulbs did not produce any flowers and 1 bulb produced a double flower. Prof P: Hi Ysgol Tal Y Bont. It's interesting that some of your plants didn't flower and exciting that one produced a double flower! Would you be able in send in pictures?
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: Thank you for letting us take the temperature and rainfall readings. We are going to miss doing it. Prof P: Hello Our Lady of the Peace Primary School. You can always apply to take part next year and continue developing the skills you have learnt from the project. You could also continue to take weather records and share them on the MET Office WOW website. Thank you for taking part and for all your hard work.
Dim ond pythefnos i fynd Cyfeillion Gwanwyn!
Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Wel, rydych chi wedi bod yn brysur! Rwyf wedi derbyn 75 o gofnodion blodeuo dros yr wythnos ddiwethaf, sy'n creu cyfanswm o 175 planhigyn wedi blodeuo!
I'r rhai ohonoch sy'n dal i aros am eich blodau dyma rai awgrymiadau:
- Bydd eich planhigyn wedi blodeuo pan fyddwch yn gallu gweld yr holl betalau, heb y casyn allanol sy'n eu diogelu tra eu bod yn datblygu (gweler y llun ar y dde).
- Cofiwch fesur mewn mm!
- Mesurwch o bwynt uchaf y pot i bwynt uchaf y blodyn.
- Cofiwch gofnodi'r dyddiad wrth rannu gwybodaeth flodeuo ar wefan Amgueddfa Cymru!
- Gadewch sylwadau wrth wneud cofnodion, dyma eich cyfle i ddweud wrthyf beth ydych chi wedi'i fwynhau neu beidio am y project!
- Rhannwch eich lluniau! Rwyf wedi rhannu lluniau ysgolion ar Twitter. Os nad yw eich ysgol yn defnyddio Twitter gall eich athro neu athrawes e-bostio lluniau i mi.
Does dim llawer i fynd nawr! Dim ond dwy wythnos o gasglu a chofnodi data tywydd sydd ar ôl!
Cofiwch, y 27ain o Fawrth yw'r diwrnod olaf i gofnodi eich data tywydd. Mae'n rhaid i chi wneud hyn er mwyn ennill eich tystysgrifau Gwyddonydd Gwych a chael cyfle i ennill taith natur yn yr amgueddfa!

Eich cwestiynau:
Your comments:
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: We were very excited this week as there were lots of buds on our crocuses. The weather has been getting warmer and today the first crocus flowers opened in the sunshine and we had to measure them carefully, H and J. Prof P: Well done H and J! I hope you have enjoyed studying the development of your plants. There are other experiments you can do that demonstrate how your flowers respond to light and heat. I will send these to your teacher but you can also find them on the website under 'Professor Plant's investigation ideas'. Keep up the good work!
Rivington Foundation Primary School: On Monday we had snow! And on Thursday we were on a school trip. Prof P: Well Rivington Foundation Primary School, you've had quite an exciting week! And you still managed to document your weather records, thank you very much!
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Still no sign of bulbs in pots flowering yet, we think the ones in the ground are doing better, as the roots have more space to grow, unlike the pots which have restricted space! It's lovely and sunny here today, with a good sunny forecast for the weekend. When we return to school on Monday we should hopefully start to see our bulbs flowering. Prof P: Hi Stanford in the Vale Primary, I'm pleased to hear that you are observing other plants and discussing the effects of environment on growth and development. I hope the sun over the weekend spurs on your plants, it shouldn't be long now so watch them closely!
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: The bulb's still have not came out yet but one of them is almost out. Prof P: It shouldn't be long now Our Lady of the Peace Primary! Watch the flower buds carefully to see how they open. The spathe will begin to split lengthways as the bud grows! If your teacher has a camera you might be able to take pictures that show the different stages of the bud flowering!
Thorn Primary School: We are very sorry but we were unable to submit plants data this week as there was building work taking place at school and we could not safely get to the thermometer and rain collector. We will be fine to collect our data this week. Prof P: Thank you for letting me know Thorn Primary School, and not to worry! I look forward to seeing your data next week.
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: My name is T and my flower was first to open. It was outside when it opened but when we brought it inside it opened even more. We were amazed. Even our teacher was amazed. Prof P: Hi T. I'm glad that you have been studying your plants so closely, they are fascinating things! Did you discuss why the flower reacted to being moved inside? I suspect your classroom was a lot warmer than the playground!!
Swiss Valley School: Hello how do we record the mystery bulbs please? Prof P: Hi Swiss Valley School. You can record the mystery bulbs flowering dates for your own records in the class room, but there is no need to record them on the NMW website. Schools that are taking part in the Edina Trust extension projects were given an extra 20 daffodil bulbs to plant in the ground, and those schools are asked to document the flowering dates for these on the Edina Trust website. This is so that they can compare the flowering dates of those in the ground to those in pots and think of reasons why these might be different. Have you noticed differences in the development of your mystery bulbs to your bulbs in pots? Can you think of reasons for this?
Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn: We enjoyed measuring them. Prof P: I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the project Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn! Keep up the good work.
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: All our crocus have flowered and they are looking so pretty. What a lovely week of warmer weather, and finally the rain came today, we are so in need of more rain.....we looked at the weather data as a group and noticed Oxfordshire have had little rain this year! Prof P: Hi Stanford in the Vale Primary. What a lovely post, and it's nice to see a positive spin on rain! I'm glad that you are using the resources on the map to study readings from other schools! You can also use the Met Office WOW website to look at readings in other areas.
Cennin Pedr ar gyfer Dydd Gŵyl Dewi
Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Rwy'n gobeithio cawsoch Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi gwych ddoe!
Mae Dydd Gŵyl Dewi yn ŵyl genedlaethol yng Nghymru sy'n dathlu Dewi Sant, nawddsant Cymru. Mae hwn yn gyfnod pryd mae'r hanes a thraddodiadau Cymru yn cael eu dathlu. Mae bwydydd traddodiadol fel cawl / lobscaws a gacennau cri yn cael eu paratoi, a gwisg draddodiadol ac arwyddluniau Cymreig yn cael eu gwisgo. Mae arwyddluniau Cymreig haddurno ar ddiwrnod Gŵyl Dewi yn cynnwys y genhinen (sy'n symbol o Dewi Sant) a'r Cennin Pedr. Mae'n ddiddorol bod y gair Cymraeg am ddwy yn mor debyg!
Roeddwn i'n meddwl y byddai'n ddiddorol i'r ysgolion yn Lloegr a'r Alban i weld pa mor bwysig yw'r Cennin Pedr yng Nghymru. Oeddech chi'n dathlu Dydd Gŵyl Dewi? Os nad, a oes ddyddiau eraill yr ydych yn ei dathlu? Gallech roi gwybod i mi am y rhain yn yr adran 'sylwadau' pan fyddwch yn cofnodi data tywydd yr wythnos hon!
Edrychwch ar y lluniau isod!

Dyddiadau blodeuo cyntaf!
Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Mae gen i newyddion cyffrous! Mae'r dyddiadau blodeuo cyntaf wedi eu cofnodi ar y wefan!
Llongyfarchiadau i Ysgol Deganwy – blodeuodd eu Crocws cyntaf nhw ar y 21ain o Chwefror, yn 90mm o uchder. Blodeuodd Crocws cyntaf Ysgol Tal Y Bont a Ysgol Bancyfelin ar y 23ain o Chwefror yn 65mm o uchder. A blodeuodd Crocws cyntaf Ysgol Gynradd Ynysddu ar y 25ain o Chwefror yn 50mm o uchder. Maent yn disgwyl i ddau arall flodeuo unrhyw ddiwrnod nawr!
Blodeuodd planhigion Swiss Valley CP School yn gynharach fyth, dros y gwyliau hanner tymor.
Mae Silverdale St John's CE School wedi adrodd bod rhai o'r crocws gafodd eu plannu mewn teiars wedi blodeuo. Mae un yn 110mm o daldra!
A heddiw, cefais dystiolaeth ffotograffig drwy Twitter i dangos bod Ysgol Gynradd Llanharan o leiaf dau blanhigyn Crocws sef wedi tyfu'n llawn! Gwelodd y dosbarth un ohonyn nhw ar agor heddiw!
Cofiwch gofnodi'r diwrnod blodeuo ac uchder eich planhigyn ar wefan Amgueddfa Cymru. Ond, peidiwch â gwneud hyn tan mae'r petalau yn gwbl weladwy a chofiwch fesur taldra mewn milimedrau!
Byddwn wrth fy modd yn cael lluniau o'ch blodau i'w rhoi ar wefan yr Amgueddfa a fy nhudalen Twitter. Gofynnwch i'ch athrawon i anfon y rhain ataf os yn bosib!
Hoffwn hefyd weld pa mor artistig ydych chi! Felly, mae gennyf weithgaredd i chi ei gwneud unwaith y bydd eich blodau wedi agor! Hoffwn i chi i dynnu darlun manwl o'ch planhigyn a labelu ei wahanol rannau. Mae hon yn ffordd wych o ddod i adnabod eich blodau yn well ac i weld pa mor gymhleth y gall pethau bach o'r fath fod. Mae hefyd yn ddiddorol iawn i gymharu Cennin Pedr a'r Crocws – allwch chi weld y tebygrwydd a'r gwahaniaethau? Mewn sawl ffordd mae pob blodyn yn debyg iawn, er eu bod yn edrych yn hollol wahanol ar yr olwg gyntaf!
Dyma gêm hwyliog yn ymwneud â labelu planhigion o wefan Bitesize y BBC.
Edrychaf ymlaen at weld eich lluniau.

Eich cwestiynau:
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: We had snow on Tuesday! Bitter cold all week. Prof P: Wow Stanford in the Vale Primary, you have had cold weather! -2 on Tuesday – burrr!
Rivington Foundation Primary School: Our daffodils in pots started sprouting last week, now between 1 and 4 cms. Daffodils in pots no sign yet. Probably too cold in the ground. Professor Plant: Hi Rivington Foundation Primary, I'm glad to hear your bulbs are sprouting! It is exciting to see how fast they grow once they start to show above the soil. Usually, the plants in the ground would grow first because they are slightly warmer than your plants in pots. But this depends on a number of things, such as how much frost you have had! I'm sure they will show themselves soon, maybe they are waiting for it to get a little warmer!
Chryston Primary School: Sorry but we were off for 3 days and sadly a bulb got squished because it is near the playground and a ball landed of top of it. The good news is the bulbs are starting to grow. Next week we will start recording the height of the bulbs. Prof P: Oh I am sorry to hear that you lost one of your bulbs! I hope you are all sharing so that no one is too upset – these things do happen! I'm glad to hear that your bulbs have started growing though! It's interesting to document how quickly they grow, and to see that each one grows at its own pace!
Saint Anthony's Primary School: We are enjoying taking the measurements and are delighted at how well our bulbs are progressing. Prof P: Hi Saint Anthony's Primary, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the project. I very much enjoy studying all the weather records that are sent in. And I especially like receiving lovely comments that show me others enjoy this project as much as I do! Keep up the good work Bulb Buddies.
Glyncollen Primary School: We have had good fun so far doing spring bulbs investigation! Prof P: I'm glad you are enjoying the project Bulb Buddies! There are lots more experiments and investigations you can do if you are enjoying this one, why not have a look at the MET Office website for idea!
Saint Anthony's Primary School: We have noticed that the temperatures have recently been rising and falling. Prof P: Hi Saint Anthony's Primary, I'm glad to hear that you are studying and comparing your weather records. You have had a bit of a jump, from -2 on Wednesday to 11 on Thursday! Differences like this can result from taking readings at different times of day, as the temperature will be consistently lower in the morning than in the afternoon! This is why it's important to always try to take the readings at around the same time. However, this can also result from changes in the weather. I'm guessing it was a lot sunnier and less cloudy on Thursday compared to the rest of the week!
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: We hope our bulbs flower soon. We enjoyed planting them. Prof P: I'm sure it won't be long now Our Lady of Peace Primary! One of my Crocus plants is nearly big enough, but it will be a while yet before my other plants flower! Isn't it interesting to see that all of our plants are developing differently even though we planted them on the same day!
Keir Hardie Memorial Primary School: We have started to see that our bulbs are starting to grow. Some of our bulbs during the extremely windy weather blew over and were nearly out of the plant box and plant pot. However, we have seen some growth in a number of our plant pots and are hoping they will grow further. For the other ones that had blew over, we replanted them just in case there is any hope. This was a few weeks ago so hopefully we will see some change. Prof P: Hi Keir Hardie Memorial Primary, you did the right thing by re-planting your bulbs. I have my fingers crossed that they will still grow for you! I'm glad to hear that some of your plants have started to grow and that you are monitoring them so closely. Keep up the good work!
Glyncollen Primary School: We have had a broken thermometer on Monday and Tuesday. Professor Plant: Hi Glyncollen Primary. I'm sorry that your thermometer wasn't working. But I'm glad to see that you fixed it or got a new one, and that you still took your rain fall readings. Good work!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: Nearly all our bulbs have shoots now the weather is a bit warmer and the mystery bulbs have buds so it looks like we may have some flowers soon. E and O. Prof P: Ooo this is exciting! Once your mystery bulbs have flowered let me know what type of plant you think they might be! Keep up the god work!
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Another strange week with the weather....high winds, cold and heavy rain, then beautiful sunshine! Our plants in the ground look as if they could be showing signs of opening.....but the one in pots seem rather behind....so we are on constant watch! Kind Regards, Gardening Club. Prof P: Hi Stanford in the Vale Primary Gardening Club! I'm glad to hear that your plants are doing well, and that you are comparing the growth of the plants in the ground to the plants in pots. It's very interesting that these are developing differently, can you think of reasons why this might be?
Glyncollen Primary School: Some of our spring bulbs are starting to grow and our crocus! Prof P: That's good news Glyncollen Primary, keep a close eye on them now because they'll grow quickly!
Eich cwestiynau, fy atebion
Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Hoffwn ddymuno hanner tymor gwych i chi! Peidiwch â phoeni am eich planhigion yn ystod y gwyliau, bydd nhw'n iawn! Ond plîs gwiliwch arnynt beth gyntaf wrth gychwyn nol yn ysgol. Gall y planhigion crocws blodeuo mo gynnar a mis Ionawr, felly dylem ni disgwyl nhw yn fuan iawn!
Rwyf wedi cael jôc wych arall gan L o Thorn Primary School:
Q. Why do you call beetroot beetroot?
A. Because you have to beat the root to get them out!!
Mae mwy o ysgolion wedi anfon diweddariadau cyffrous ar eu planhigion:
Silverdale St. John's CE School: The daffodils are about 5cm tall and one of them is around about 8cm tall! Prof P: Fantastic news Silverdale St. John's CE School you must be looking after them very well!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: This week is cold again with very frosty mornings, but we can now see some crocus shoots as well as the daffodils. The mystery bulbs have the tallest shoots. K M. Prof P: I'm excited that your Crocus plants have shown through. Isn't it interesting how different the shoots look! Keep up the good work Bulb Buddies!
Ysgol Nant Y Coed: It was a very dry week last week. Also, our daffodils are about 12-14cm tall now. Prof P: Wow Ysgol Nant Y Coed, make sure you keep a close eye on your plants! It doesn't sound like it will be long now before you see your first flowers.
Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn: I like this job. Prof P: I'm glad to hear it! There are lots of other experiments you can try if you are enjoying this one. Try the MET Office website for some great ideas for half term: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/education/kids/things-to-do/experiments
Rivington Foundation Primary School: We think that the temperature on Tuesday,Thursday and Friday was because the sun was hitting straight on to the thermometer. Prof P: Wow Rivington Foundation Primary! What high readings for week 6! That shows summer weather in February! Well done for spotting that this is unusual and questioning why your readings are so high. I think you are right and it must be because your thermometer was in the sun and you took the readings at the warmest time of day! I suggest that you turn the thermometer slightly so it is not in direct sunlight. This will give you more accurate readings. You are well on your way to becoming Super Scientists!!
Carstairs Primary School: Unfortunately we are unable to take the temperature because our temperature monitor has went missing with all of the snow. Prof P: Wow, that must be a lot of snow you are having Carstairs Primary School! Thank you for taking the rain fall readings despite the wintery weather! I see these were high all week, did you have to take the rain gauge inside to melt the snow before taking your readings?
Hi Kirkton Primary School. Just to let you know that you've had the coldest weather reported so far for week 6 at -6ÌŠ!! Brrrrr!! And Thorn Primary School had the second warmest reading of week 6 at 13ÌŠ. I wonder how this will affect your plants! I'll be watching both of your weather records and flowering dates with interest to compare!
Mwynhewch eich gwyliau Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn!!

Gaeaf yn troi'n Wanwyn
Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Rwy am rannu ambell lun gyda chi. Cofiwch, os gofynnwch i'ch athro neu athrawes yrru lluniau o'ch planhigion i mi, gallaf eu rhannu gydag ysgolion eraill sy'n rhan o'r project! Mae gen i ddiddordeb mawr mewn lluniau sy'n dangos y newid mewn tymhorau – fel blodau'r gwanwyn yng nghanol eira'r gaeaf!
Cennin Pedr yn Sain Ffagan. Allwch chi weld pa blanhigion sydd â blagur, a pha rai sydd wedi blodeuo?
Mae rhywfaint o ddryswch wedi bod ynghylch pryd i gofnodi dyddiad blodeuo ar-lein. Gallwch fonitro taldra eich planhigion bob wythnos a gadael i mi wybod yn yr adran 'sylwadau' wrth i chi gofnodi'r tywydd. Ond dim ond wedi i'r planhigyn flodeuo y dylech gofnodi 'dyddiad blodeuo' a thaldra'r planhigyn ar ddiwrnod blodeuo.
Edrychwch ar y llun uchod o Gennin Pedr yn Sain Ffagan. Cafodd y llun ei dynnu ar ddiwrnod oer, felly nid oedd y blodau wedi agor yn llawn. Ond, gallwch weld pa rai sydd wedi blodeuo trwy edrych yn ofalus. Os yw'r holl betalau i'w gweld yn glir yna mae'r planhigyn wedi blodeuo. Cyn blodeuo mae'r petalau yn cael eu gwarchod gan gasyn tynn fel hwn:
Blagur yw hyn. Pan fydd y blodyn wedi aeddfedu, a'r tywydd yn ddigon cynnes, bydd y casyn yn dechrau agor. Gall hyn gymryd ychydig oriau neu rai dyddiau! Efallai y gallwch weld hyn yn digwydd, os wnewch chi wylio'r planhigion yn ofalus iawn! Pan fyddwch yn gallu gweld yr holl betalau a'r casyn wedi disgyn gallwch fesur taldra'r blodau a chofnodi hyn ar y wefan. Wedi i chi wneud hynny bydd blodyn yn ymddangos ar fap yn dangos lle mae eich ysgol.
Gallwch fesur uchder eich planhigion i weld pa mor sydyn mae nhw'n tyfu. Os yw'r planhigion yn dal yn fach gallwch eu mesur o dop y pridd. Ond, pan fyddwch yn mesur er mwyn cofnodi ar y wefan, dylech fesur o dop y pot blodau i bwynt uchaf y blodyn.
Ydych chi wedi cymharu uchder y blodau yn eich dosbarth? Oes yna wahaniaeth mawr yn uchder y planhigion a pha mor aeddfed ydyn nhw, neu ydyn nhw i gyd yn debyg? Beth am y planhigion sydd wedi'u plannu yn y ddaear? Yw'r rhain yn fwy na'r rhai mewn potiau? Pam hynny tybed? Gallwch ddweud beth ydych chi'n feddwl yn yr adran 'sylwadau' wrth i chi gofnodi'r tywydd yr wythnos hon!
Gyrrwch eich straeon a lluniau i'r blog blodau a dilynwch Athro'r Ardd ar Twitter!
Daliwch ati Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn!
Athro'r Ardd
O.N. Peidiwch â phoeni os nad yw eich planhigion wedi dangos eto. Mae'n dal yn gynnar ac rwy'n sicur bydd yn gwneud cyn bo hir! Rhwy'n dal yn aros am rai o'n planhigion i dangos uwchben y pridd...
Eich cwestiynau, fy atebion
Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Hoffwn rannu rhigwm doniol gan R o Thorn Primary School: "If I was a dog and you were a flower I'd lift my leg and give you a shower!"
Ysgol Clocaenog: Heddiw, rydym wedi gweld bod ein cennin pedr yn dechrau tyfu. Mae cennin pedr K wedi tyfu 1.5cm. Mae rhai ohonynt dal heb ddechrau eto. Athro'r Ardd: Wel, rwy'n falch o glywed bod eich Cennin Pedr wedi cychwyn tyfu. Mae'n swnio fel bod bwlb K yn tyfu yn gyflym iawn! Daliwch ati gyda'r gwaith da Ysgol Clocaenog!
Thorn Primary School: What happens to the plants after they have flowered? Do they die? Prof P: Hi Thorn Primary School. This is a very important question. Your bulbs won't die after they have flowered! The leaves of your plant make food and the roots absorb water. When your flower dies the bulb stores all remaining food and water inside itself ready for next Autumn. Your teacher has information on how to care for your bulbs after your flowers die, and I will blog about it closer to the time. But this won't happen until the end of Spring – so enjoy your flowers while they are here!
Skelmorlie Primary School: This week we have had a lot of snow and sleet in our weather. It has been really cold so we have had to look out for ice when we are playing too. In our water gauge this week, there was around 13 mm of water and 37 mm of ice/snow. Prof P: Hi Skelmorlie Primary School. I'm glad to hear you are being careful when you are outside, the weather can cause dangerous conditions! I'm assuming you melted the 37mm of snow to 13mm of water. Was there less water than you thought there would be? This is because water expands when it freezes and evaporates when it heats! I'd like to thank you for all the weekly comments you have sent me – you are definitely Super Scientists!
St. Ignatius Primary School: Professor Plant we missed some recordings this week due to the bad weather here. Our teacher decided it was not safe enough for us to go out and collect the recordings. Today we had a big piece of ice in our rainfall gauge so if that melted our rainfall would be more. The raifall gauge was also this full as it includes the 3 days we didn't take recordings. St. Ignatius Primary 4. Prof P: Hello St Ignatius Primary 4. Not to worry about missing some recordings due to bad weather – if it's icy it's better to stay warm and safe! As for the block of ice, you are not the only school to have had this problem. If this happens again please take your rain gauge inside and wait for the ice to melt. Then record the water level as rain fall on your weather chart!
Morningside Primary School: We brought our rain gauge in on Monday as it was full of snow and let it melt before we took the measurement. Prof P: Well done Morningside Primary School, you really are Super Scientists! I hope you enjoyed the experiment. I always try to guess how much water there will be when the ice melts! Other schools have had the chance to do this experiment too, including Corshill Primary School.
Chryston Primary School: We are terribly sorry that we could not finish our records last week. We have been very busy with our Scottish afternoon and the weather here has been horrible. Hopefully we will finish our records next week. Prof P: Not to worry Chryston Primary School. Scottish afternoon sounds exciting! I hope you had a good week!
Thorn Primary School: We had lots of snow this week as well as lots of ice! We have no recording for Thursday as our school was closed due to the ice making it unsafe for staff and children to arrive. Prof P: Not to worry Thorn Primary School, other schools were unable to complete their records due to bad weather too! And lots of schools have reported snow, including: Woodlands Primary School, St. Brigid's School, Ysgol Hiraddug, Abbey Primary School, Manor Road Primary School, Rivington Foundation Primary School, Bickerstaffe CE Primary School and Balshaw Lane Community Primary School.
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: It has been very windy,snowy and icy. Two girls fell today at playtime and lunchtime on the ice and hurt themselves. It snowed last Tuesday and Wednesday. The two girl that fell are the girls that wrote this. Prof P: Hello, I'm sorry to hear you fell on the ice! I hope you weren't badly hurt! I hope children at other schools take note and that everyone is extra careful when outdoors in this weather!
Ysgol Y Plas: Dear professor plant I thought you would like to know that nineteen bulbs in the flower bed have been growing and sixteen in the pots have started as well. From C. Prof P: Hi C, that's great news! Other schools have reported new shoots too, including Skelmorlie Primary School!
Tongwynlais Primary School: We have no rain records for monday and tuesday as a few of our fellow pupils have been playing with our rain gage. We hope we can collect more accurate measurements next week. Prof P: Thank you for letting me know Tongwynlais Primary School. Other schools have been having problems with their rain gauges too. Including Euxton Church of England Primary School whose rain gauge has been repeatedly knocked over by football players! They have found a new location for their rain gauge now.
Darran Park Primary: I have got a new friend doing this job now - he enjoys doing it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prof P: Haha, well I'm guessing that not everyone at Darran Park Primary is enjoying this project! I hope your new friend can show you how much fun science can be and that you come to enjoy the project as much as he does!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: It has been really icy in the mornings but the daffodil shoots are getting taller. F. Prof P: Good to know F. You must be looking after them very well!
Bancyfelin: 1 mm of snow fell on Thursday 29th of January. This means that 4mm of rain + 1mm of snow fell on this day. Prof P: Well done Bancyfelin. I assume you measured the snow using snow sticks? I see you recorded 4mm of rain, so I assume the snow melted in your rain gauge!
Baird Memorial Primary School: We are surprised by the changes that occurred within the temperature side of things. The changes were dramatic. Prof P: Hi Baird Memorial Primary School. You are right, there is quite a jump in your temperature readings from -1°c on Thursday to 11°c on Friday! This shows how temperamental the weather can be. Drops in temperature are often caused by cold winds, clouds and precipitation (rain and snow).
Ysgol Nant Y Coed: We enjoyed doing we like doing it very much its so FUN!!!! This is are last time doing it :(wahhhhhhhh we wish we could do it again-S and A. Prof P: Hi S & A! I'm glad you are enjoying the project and I hope you have learnt a lot! There are other scientific experiments you can take part in. I'm guessing its someone else's turn to take the temperature and rain fall readings for this project now. But you could easily do a similar experiment at home!

Newid yn y tymhorau
Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Diolch i bawb wnaeth yrru data tywydd ata i'r wythnos ddiwethaf. Yn enwedig y rhai ohonoch wnaeth yrru jôcs – daliwch ati, mae nhw'n gwneud i mi chwerthin!
Roedd rhai o sylwadau'r wythnos yma yn dweud bod y tymheredd yn codi a'r dyddiau'n mynd yn hirach, sy'n esgus perffaith i mi siarad rhywfaint am y tymhorau!
Mae yna bedwar tymor mewn blwyddyn: gaeaf, gwanwyn, haf a hydref. Mae hi'n dal yn aeaf ar hyn o bryd, y tymor oeraf.
Mae'r gwanwyn yn dechrau o gwmpas Mawrth yr 20fed (Cyhydnos y Gwanwyn) a dyma'r tymor lle bydd y rhan fwyaf o blanhigion yn blodeuo ac anifeiliaid bach yn cael eu geni wrth i'r tywydd gynhesu. Mae ŵyn bach yn y caeau yn arwydd da bod y gwanwyn wedi cyrraedd!
O fis Mehefin tan fis Medi bydd hi'n haf – y dyddiau'n hir a'r tywydd yn gynnes. Yn lwcus i chi, byddwch yn cael gwyliau hir o'r ysgol!
Bydd yr hydref yn gafael o ddiwedd Medi ymlaen – y dyddiau yn byrhau, y tywydd yn oeri, a'r dail yn troi'n oren, coch a brown cyn syrthio o'r coed. Daw'r gaeaf unwaith eto ym mis Rhagfyr a bydd yn aros efo ni tan ganol Mawrth.
Ydych chi'n gwybod pam ein bod yn cael tymhorau? Beth sy'n achosi i'r tywydd newid mor ddramatig yn ystod y flwyddyn? Mae'n digwydd achos bod y Ddaear yn troi o amgylch yr Haul ar ongl. Mae'r llun isod yn dangos y Ddaear a'r Haul. Mae'r Ddaear yn cylchdroi ar echel (dychmygwch linell yn cysylltu Pegwn y Gogledd â Phegwn y De) wrth symud o amgylch yr Haul.
Mae'n cymryd 365 diwrnod i'r Ddaear deithio unwaith o amgylch yr Haul. Hyd blwyddyn ar blaned yw'r amser mae'n gymryd i deithio o amgylch ei seren unwaith. Felly mae blwyddyn ar y Ddaear yn para 365 diwrnod.
Mae'r llun uchod yn dangos llwybr y Ddaear o amgylch yr Haul. Yr echel yw'r llinell goch trwy'r ddau begwn. Mae'r echel ar ongl wahanol i lwybr y Ddaear o amgylch yr Haul (y llinell wen doredig). Mae hyn yn golygu ein bod ar ongl fymryn yn wahanol i'r Haul bob dydd. Dyma sy'n achosi'r newid yn hyd y dydd. Mae dyddiau byrrach (gaeaf) yn golygu llai o olau a llai o wres, sy'n gwneud y gaeaf yn oerach. Mae dyddiau hirach (haf) yn golygu mwy o olau a gwres, sy'n ei gwneud yn gynhesach!
Mae'r DU yn 'Hemisffer y Gogledd' sy'n golygu ein bod yn nes at Begwn y Gogledd nag at Begwn y De. Yn y llun, mae Pegwn y Gogledd (y llinell goch sy'n pwyntio am i fyny) yn gwyro i gyfeiriad yr Haul ym mis Mehefin ac oddi wrth yr Haul ym mis Rhagfyr. Yr ongl hon sy'n achosi'r newid yn hyd y dyddiau wrth i'r Ddaear droi o amgylch yr Haul.
Mae gwledydd eraill yn profi'r newidiadau hyn ar wahanol adegau. Yn Awstralia mae'n haf ym mis Rhagfyr! Ac yng Ngwlad yr Iâ mae'n olau dydd am ddyddiau ar y tro yn yr haf, ac yn dywyll am ddyddiau yn y gaeaf... dychmygwch yr Haul yn tywynnu am hanner nos!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Magnet Save the Dates
My save the dates shipped quickly and were great quality. I absolutely love them and would order from Magnet Street again.
Accurate and prompt
I custom designed a save the date magnet with MagnetStreet and was hesitant to purchase them until I spoke with someone. It was scary purchasing a product I had just seen online but never viewed in person. I called the contact number and actually spoke to a real person, who answered all of my concerns. Their customer service is excellent. I placed my order and the magnets arrived well within the time frame I was promised. They came in the cutest little package too! The quality was just about 100% accurate to what I saw in my design online. The colors and fonts were perfect. The only thing that may not have been perfect was the quality of the picture. However, it is probably near impossible to capture accurate quality of a photo reprinted on a small spacer tinier than a full business card. Overall, the picture is clear and the magnet as a whole is adorable. I would recommend MagnetStreet to anyone in the future. They are affordable and reliable.
Great save the dates!
I love how you can change whatever you want to make it yours! The quality was great and exactly what we were looking for! The only downfall was how tiny they were. That is 100% My fault for not measuring them out before ordering but even at that they get the message across. We will definitely be ordering our invitations here soon!!
Nice Postcards.
I love this design and really love that I was able to customize all the colours and personalize everything! For the price I did think the quality and crispness of the printing would be better. Overall though I am happy with them and can't wait to send them out!
Adorably perfect!
We were very nervous about ordering our save the dates online. They turned out better than we could have ever asked for! They are adorable, the colors matched our wedding colors perfectly and the price was great! Can't wait to send them out and order our invitations! Very happy!

Paarl Gym coach Christoff Lotter says his side beat Paarl Boys' 22-19 because they stuck to the game plan.
Having experienced a roller-coaster ride of a season, Paarl Gym were determined not to let staunch rivals Boishaai beat them in front of a capacity crowd.
'As expected, it was a tough encounter,' Lotter said. 'We've been unfortunate this year and had bad luck in most of our losses. The guys played well and more importantly, they had the belief that they could beat Boishaai – it was important for their confidence.'
Paarl Gym went into this derby as the underdogs having played 21 games this year, winning 14 and losing seven, while Boishaai had played 18 matches and lost just one.
The match was tightly contested and the scores reflected the intensity of this derby as the teams went into the break with Boishaai leading 9-8.
'We made a jittery start; it was tough out there but everything changed when fullback Handre Pollard kicked a 43m drop goal,' said Lotter. 'We gave the ball away too easily. But at half-time, I told the players if they could string two phases together then we would win the game. And as I said before, whoever wants to win this derby the most, wins it – and we played out of our skin to win it.
'I was really concerned at how we lost the ball, but I'm delighted at the way the players responded by sticking to what I told them,' Lotter added. 'After Boishaai scored their first try, we got stuck into them – we didn't allow them to play at all and played our way back into the game by rectifying our mistakes.'
Pollard was the catalyst for his side's victory, kicking 12 points.

Irvine, California
Irvine is an incorporated city in Orange County, California, United States. It has annexed in the past an undeveloped area to the north, and has also annexed the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, most of which is planned to be converted into the Orange County Great Park.
Because of its good schools, jobs and housing, the city was chosen in 2008 by CNNMoney.com as the fourth best place to live in the United States. In June 2009, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that Irvine had the lowest violent crime rate (four homicides, 17 rapes, 50 robberies and 55 aggravated assaults in 2006) among cities in the United States with populations of more than 100,000, and in August 2008 the Census Bureau ranked Irvine as having the seventh highest median income among cities in the United States with populations of more than 65,000.

In 2009, when Karen Winningham tested a DNA profile created from a sperm sample, the State Bureau of Investigation agent said it was a perfect match with Donald Eugene Borders' DNA.
Winningham, a DNA analyst for the SBI, testified in court Thursday that statistically the DNA could only have originated from Borders.
Borders is currently standing trial, accused of raping and murdering Margaret Tessneer nine years ago.
Winningham said another DNA sample, collected from a cigarette butt law enforcement officers said Borders had smoked, was also a perfect match with the sperm collected from Tessneer's body.
On Sept. 20, 2003, Libby Clark said she discovered her mother, lying across her bed, at her mother's Railroad Avenue home.
Police said the phone lines had been cut and the 79-year-old woman had been raped.
Her body was battered and bruised, according to an autopsy report.
For years, the case went unsolved.
Her cause of death has been listed as "undetermined" on her death certificate and in the autopsy.
Former Chief Medical Examiner Dr. John Butts testified Wednesday that he believed Tessneer was suffocated, but had been holding off on changing the cause of death pending further evidence in the case.
It wasn't until 2009, almost a decade after Tessneer's death, that Borders was charged with her murder and rape.
Court testimony Thursday detailed the process of creating the DNA match that led to his arrest.
Identifying the DNA
When pathologist Dr. Steven Tracy performed the autopsy two days after Tessneer's body was found he also collected items for a sexual assault kit, Tracy testified earlier this week.
He said the swabs collected and sealed in the kit were sent to the SBI lab for testing.
SBI Agent Russ Holley began court testimony Thursday by explaining the process he uses to identify sperm. He said at the time he did the testing in 2004, he was a serologist, or someone who studies body fluids.
Holley said he used a microscope to examine both the swabs and slides contained in the sexual assault kit and said both contained moderate amounts of sperm.
Objections from defense punctuated Holley's testimony.
Most were overruled by the judge.
Once the presence of sperm had been detected, Holley said a sample was sent to DNA analysts.
Agent Mark Boodee, who was an analyst at that time, testified that he went through a four-step process to extract the DNA from the sperm cell and create a profile.
Boodee said the DNA profile he created from the semen was entered into CODUS, a digital DNA database, but it did not come up with a match.
It wasn't until 2009, shortly after the Tessneer case had been reassigned to a Shelby Police detective and an SBI agent for a fresh look, that new leads developed.
Winningham said she performed a test on the cigarette butt Borders had smoked as well as a cheek swab collected from Borders.
She said both were matched against the profile created from the semen and both were a perfect match.
During cross-examination, Teddy questioned Boodee and Winningham about a failed certification exam in 2011.
Both said they later retook the exam and passed.
Winningham and Boodee testified that they take proficiency tests twice a year administered by an outside agency.
Boodee said the DNA lab is audited once a year and accredited.
He said all analysts have to be certified and each case the agents handle are then reviewed by another analyst and a supervisor.
Teddy also questioned about lab procedures and DNA samples that had been "overblown," including one sample Winningham analyzed from the cover of the phone box at Tessneer's home.
Assistant District Attorney Sally Kirby-Turner asked Winningham if an "overblown" sample changes the DNA structure.
She said no.
Winningham said the sample can still be used and it is not contaminated.
Teddy asked Winningham about corrective measures and a complaint filed against her.
She said she had one corrective measure against her following a proficiency test.
Teddy also questioned Holley about an unrelated, past Cleveland County rape case where a preliminary test indicated a positive result for blood, but a confirmatory test was negative.
Kirby-Turner said there was other overwhelming blood evidence.
Holley said he was never called to testify because the defendants pleaded guilty.
Since then, he said, the SBI policies have changed regarding reporting.
He said the changes were made before 2004.
During questioning by prosecution, Holley said he did have the confirmatory negative blood test result noted in his file, but that note had not been sent to the courts.
Former chief to take the stand
Court will resume today with testimony from witnesses called by the defense, including former Shelby Police Chief Tandy Carter.
In 2004, Carter created his own headlines in the Tessneer case following statements he made during the course of the investigation.
In August of 2004, he was quoted in The Star as saying that the DNA evidence, created from the sperm, indicates Tessneer had sexual contact with another person.
He said that could mean an assault had taken place or Tessneer had had consensual sex, The Star previously reported.
Shortly after that article was published, the Tessneer family attended a public meeting held at the Shelby City Council chamber.
During the meeting, the public was invited to express opinions about the department's policies and procedures.
Tessneer's family complained about Carter's unprofessional conduct and worried that the case had gone cold.
"Anyone who knew our mother would never have made that assumption," Libby Clark was quoted as saying. "Mama was victimized by a rapist and murderer, who, by the way, is still at large."
Three days later, Carter called a press conference to apologize to Tessneer's family.
"I made some comments that the family felt were insensitive," Carter said at that time. "I want to offer my apologies to that family because that was not my intent...I hurt because they hurt."

It's getting just plain ugly out there, folks. Chicago and NYC are the next major U.S. cities poised to breach the ugly $4/gal barrier, and likely won't be the last, either.Chicago's metro average stands at $3.992 while NYC sits at $3.999. Both are likely to tip the psychologically important $4/gal level at any moment in the next 48 hours. It would represent the earliest in the year that prices have hit $4/gal in both of these areas. The worst? We aren't expecting much improvement in the days and weeks ahead.So what's driving prices higher? The reason is less obvious, but positive sentiment from economic outlooks likely is playing a role, as well as refinery maintenance season. On the flip side, gasoline inventories remain...

The Decent Films Guide rates films for age appropriateness based on content, from Kids & up to Teens & up to Adults. Any of these ratings may be modified by an asterisk (*), indicating discernment required. Profoundly objectionable films are rated No one.
As with all the ratings, the age-appropriateness rating is an index of opinion, not a statement of fact or article of faith. Readers are encouraged to read the reviews critically and arrive at their own conclusions.
Because children and families differ so widely, no age-based system can offer more than approximations and generalities. For this reason, the age-appropriate rating is a broad, simple one. This necessarily puts a greater burden on parents actively to evaluate the appropriateness of each film for their own children, which is how it must be.
At the same time, at each rating level some effort has been made to distinguish films that will be widely appropriate for the vast majority of viewers at that level from films that may be appropriate for many viewers at that level, but which could be disturbing or confusing to some. Those judged to require a particular level of discernment, either from the audience or from parents choosing films for their children, are marked with an asterisk.
Note that the age-appropriateness rating does not indicate the target audience of the film, nor how worthwhile the film might be for a particular audience. It simply considers what sort of content is broadly appropriate for a given age level.
In other words, a film rated kids and up is not necessarily a family film and may not be of the slightest interest to young audiences. (Users looking for films to watch with their children should search for family films using on the Reviews page.) What the kids and up rating is meant to indicate is that the film can be screened with children in the room without fear of inappropriate content (though this is only a generalization; not all parents will agree regarding all films).
Likewise, a film rated for adults is simply one that contains nothing that would make it morally unacceptable for adults at large to watch the film. It doesnt mean that the film is recommended for adults, nor that some adults wont find the film objectionable. Here, again, adults will have to make critical decisions based on the content of the review and their own principles.
This film is rated Kids & up* (discernment required).
