Professor Plant's Promise: Late flowers won't get left behind
Hi Super Scientists,
4116 of you have helped with the Spring Bulbs investigation this year – which is truly FANTASTIC! I am very, very busy this week getting your certificates ready to send out to you!
But for some of you the investigation is not over yet… your flowers are still not open.
What do you do if your flowers have not yet opened?
Please keep sending in flower data! If your flowers have not opened and you would like to carry on with your investigation then please do! When they open you can still record the flowering date and plant height on our website.
So why have a deadline?
I have to write a special report every year that gives a summary of all the data sent in so far. I need to write that report now. All records sent in before the deadline will be included in this years report.
What happens to records sent in after the deadline?
Records sent in after the deadline will be added to our database and will be included in next years report. All the records that you send are very important and will help the investigation to be more accurate in the future. I promise you that your data will not be lost or wasted.
Who are the people in the photo??
I would like to introduce you to Nick and Pat Bean who own the farm, Springfields Fresh Produce, where your daffodil bulbs come from! These are pictures of them in a field of Tenby daffodils that they have grown on their farm.
Whose has sent in flowers records for the first time?
Thank you to the following schools for sending in their flower records: Gladestry C.I.W. School, Williamstown Primary, St Athan Primary, Ysgol Hiraddug and Bwlchgwyn CP School in Wales, Hawthornden Primary School, Ladybank Primary School, Tynewater Primary School and Torbain Primary School in Scotland, and Larkrise Primary School, Britannia Community Primary School and Thorneyholme RC Primary School in England.
Well done too to all the schools that keep sending in more and more flower records to make our investigation more accurate!
Many thanks,
Prof P

Please send your flower records
The extended deadline for flower records is Friday 19 April – that is this Friday bulb buddies! Please remember to send me your records on the website.
Remember to check the bulb-blog next week as I will be announcing the Competition winners!! Winners for the Flower Drawing Competition and the Win a Nature-Activity Trip will be announced on Monday 22 April.
Whose flowers have opened this week?
Lakeside Primary, Ysgol Bryn Garth, Christchurch CP School and Rhydypenau Primary School in Wales, Manor Primary School and Coppull Parish Primary School in England and Wormit Primary School in Scotlandhave all sent in flower records. Well done and thank you to these schools!
There has been a lot in the news recently about the cold and snow, and how late flowering is this year. Did you know it was the coldest March in the UK in over 50 years? And guess what? March was colder than the winter months of December, January and February! No wonder some of our flowers are late to open this year.
See BBC News or Met Office News for more information on these cold weather stories.
In March The Guardian reported that plants are late to bud and flower this year, especially in Scotland, and that hibernating animals like bats, frogs and lizards woke up then went back into hibernation because it was too cold!
Unfortunately, cold weather can lead to an increase in local air pollution. This is because we generate more pollution by using more heating, but also because when the air is cold and still, pollution particles build up in the atmosphere rather than evaporating or being blown away.
Many thanks

Easter in the Tŷ Gwyrdd - Corkboards and tomato seeds.
Another busy Easter fortnight has been and gone, one which saw over 4000 people visit the Tŷ Gwyrdd at St Fagans. Between the 25th of March and the 4th of April we ran a range of workshops from upcycling corkboards to planting tomoato seeds via an April Fools day quiz.
One of our workshops, Grow Now, Eat Later, was designed as a way to encourage visitors to think about growing their own food. There was a chance for families to plant a few tomato seeds to take home with them. Hopefully, over the coming months, with the right kind of nurturing, these seeds will grow into healthy tomato plants and will eventually produce a crop of delicious tomatoes. I'll let you know how my own attempts fare!
For 2 days we were joined by Wood for the Trees Wales who held an Up-Cycling Workshop in the Tŷ Gwyrdd. This involved creating notice boards from old picture frames and cork tiles. This was an extremely popular activity with all who visited, in fact we used up every single picture frame and every scrap of cork tile! If you are interested in similar workshops, visit Wood for the Trees Wales' Facebook page for more info!
As Easter Monday fell on April the 1st, we thought it was only right to hold an event for April Fools day. We created an quiz around the house so that visitors could test themselves to find out if they were Eco Cool or indeed an April Fool. Luckily it turned out most of our visitors were indeed Eco Cool… with only a few exceptions. After completing the quiz there was a chance to make badge to show off your eco credentials to friends and family.
As part of the Making History Project, the use of the Tŷ Gwyrdd will be changing. As the main visitor entrance is being upgraded, the Tŷ Gwyrdd will form part of a temporary entrance to St Fagans.
Over the years, we've had a fantastic time running numerous workshops in the Tŷ Gwyrdd and meeting literally thousands of wonderful poeple. Thanks to the many, many people who have helped us achieve this. Rest assured, lots of our workshops will continue, albeit in different locations throughout St Fagans Museum. Watch this space!
Lots more of your comments
Thankyou very much to the Gardening Club at Stanford in the Vale School for sending me in these lovely photos of pupils and their daffodils! You look very scientific measuring your daffodils!
Wow! This blog looks quite long again! I just really wanted to reply to lots more of your wonderful comments from before the Easter hols…
Your weather comments:
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Two crocuses have opened up today! Our last day of term! Prof P: Great news! I hope more have opened when you get back to school.
Henllys CIW Primary: All children have taken their plants home for the Easter holidays. We had our first crocus flower open yesterday hopefully everyone will keep an eye on their plants during the holidays and record when they open. Prof P: I'm glad you could take your plants home, I look forward to receiving your flower records.
Westwood CP School: No readings on Friday - school closed due to snow. No flowers open before Easter Break. Teacher took readings for last 2 weeks to send from home. Prof P: Thanks for the update, do you have some flowers now Westwood?
SS Philip and James Primary School: We can't believe this is our last week of measuring and sending in our weather data. Thank you, goodbye and Happy Easter!
From the Super Scientists at Phil and Jim! Prof P: Thank you too Phil & Jim Team Super Scientists!
St Joseph's Primary School (Penarth): Most of our crocus bulbs have opened but, sadly, not our daffodil bulbs. We have left our pots at school over the Easter holidays because the eco committee are planning to plant them around the school later. Hopefully, there will be some beautiful daffodil flowers when we go back? Happy Easter! Prof P: That sounds like a lovely idea St Joseph's. I like the sound of your eco committee, they sound great!
Coppull Parish Primary School: We are all very disappointed as so far we have no flowers. We think we will get maybe 2 or 3, because only one pot is showing any signs of growth. Prof P: I hope they flower eventually Coppull Parish.
Stepping Stones Short Stay School: School finished today on Thursday 28th for the Easter holidays, so we have no records for Friday 29th. Today the first crocus that we have been watching opened fully, at last! Prof P: I'm very pleased for you!
Manor Primary School: Friday 29th: School was not open due to being Good Friday. Happy Easter all. School is back on Monday 15th April. All the pots have shoots but nothing is open yet. Prof P: Thank you for the update Manor Primary! Happy Easter to you too.
Newport Primary School: Week 12:Really cold all this week with snow every day. Week 13: A balmy 5 degrees today. Prof P: Brrr! I have seen on the TV how snowy it has been in Scotland.
Milford Haven Junior School: The quadrangle garden was flooded on Friday due to heavy rainfall at night. Prof P: Did anyone get wet feet?
Ysgol Porth Y Felin: to pp, unfortunately this is our last week doing professor plant. I am here to thank you for joining in our school. nothing is really wrong so, happy easter from ysgol porth y felin. Prof P: Well done bulb buddies! I have enjoyed doing this experiment with you, thanks for your help.
Wormit Primary School: We go on holiday today for our Easter Break. Our crocuses have not flowered yet because we think it has been too cold. We are glad that you have extended the date for recording their flowering dates! We will keep an eye on them over the Easter break- P7 and Mrs Wright :) Prof P: Fingers crossed that your flowers open before the next deadline. Happy holidays!
Balcurvie Primary School: This is our last weather entry as we are off school for the Easter holidays tomorrow. Yeah! Prof P: I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Greyfriars RC Primary School: we are off school on Friday so today is our last day at school and were off school tomorrow so this is our last weather report for now. The bulbs have grown a lot and they are all in bud. We're taking them home for the holiday. We will record flowering dates. They are getting taller and are getting ready to bloom mine is looking awesome we are very excited about our bulbs. Prof P: Excellent work Greyfriars!
Glyncollen Primary School: Thank you for the bulbs. We are amazed at how tall our crocus grew. We are very happy as the daffodils are the national emblem of our country Wales. We have had a wonderful time doing the investigation. Our crocuses have grown well. We are very sad that everything has now finished. Bye bye from year 4 Prof P: The daffodil is such a beautiful sunny flower to have as the national emblem of Wales isn't it Glyncollen? I love it.
Thorneyholme RC Primary School: Yo Pro P!!! We have had a lot of snow so unfortunately our bulbs are taking a long time to grow. HAPPY EASTER!!!! Thanks for letting us participate in this project. It has been EPIC!!!!!! Hopefully our bulbs will have grown over the Easter holidays. Thanks and bye bye. Thorneyholme. :) Prof P: I am so glad you have enjoyed the project! Happy Easter to you too.
St Mary's Catholic Primary School: Dear Prof Plant, Our school was closed due to heavy snowfall overnight 21st-22nd March. Our crocus bulbs had just begun to open! and we were very excited and looking forward to taking our pots home for the Easter holidays. Sadly because of the closure the pots remain at school!!! Prof P: I'm sorry that you couldn't take your plants home, but don't worry, maybe they will wait until you get back to school and then flower?
Britannia Community Primary School: Still no flowers and very cold! Prof P: Stay wrapped up warm Britannia bulb buddies, and keep watching!
Ysgol Nant Y Coed: Today is the last day of term so we're all taking our bulbs home. All the daffodils have opened or are in bud. We'll record when they flower at home. We've really enjoyed taking part in the project and hope the data we've sent will be useful. Prof P: The data you send in will be VERY useful Ysgol Nant y Coed, thanks for all your hard work.
Many thanks
Prof P
Happy Easter!
Thankyou so much for all your weather records and for the flower records you have sent so far!
Thankyou for all the great comments you have sent too! I have had so many comments in the last two weeks that I haven't had time to blog them all, so I thought I would do a special blog this week with lots more of your comments.
Whose flowers have opened this week?
St Robert's R.C. Primary School, Rogiet Primary School, Glyncollen Primary School and Brynhyfryd Junior School in Wales, SS Philip and James Primary School in England and Balcurvie Primary School in Scotland have all reported that their flowers have opened! Great job! Well done and thank you for sending in your records.
Your flower comments:
SS Philip and James Primary School: The crocuses needed some sun for them to open so that we could see the anthers and define them as 'flowering'. Prof P: You are quite right. The sun is shining here in Cardiff today, is it sunny where you are?
Balcurvie Primary School: Mine was the first crocus to flower and just in time for the holidays! Prof P: Hooray, that's great news!
St. Mary's RC Primary School (Lancashire): Grown to 490mm Planted On The 12th Dec 2012. Prof P: Wow that is a tall daffodil!
Hywel Da Primary School: All daffodils open during the week of 18th to 22nd March. Prof P: Thanks for your report Hywel Da.
Archbishop Hutton's Primary School: On Monday 11th March when we came into school there was about 15 crocuses which had flowered over the weekend. Prof P: That must have been a pretty sight!
Oakfield Primary School: This is our first daffodil to flower called twix. (18.03.2013) Prof P: What a great name!
Newburgh Primary School: It's our first flower and its called 'Craze Crocus'! (18.03.2013) Prof P: That's a great name too!
Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn: Flowers are very late opening. Daffodils have not opened yet. Prof P: I hope they flower for you soon.
Rogiet Primary School: Our crocus plants are very small we thought they weren't going to flower but today we found a very small one! It is only 9cm high. Prof P: Well done Rogiet for spotting it!
Magor Church in Wales Primary: Daffodils have not flowered yet. (13.03.2013) Prof P: Thank you for that very valuable record, maybe they will flower soon.
Ysgol Bodafon: It is a beautiful daffodil flower. There are 5 heads of the crocus flowers. Prof P: I think daffodils are very beautiful too.
Greyfriars RC Primary School: We haven't had much rain for 3 weeks but have been watering the bulbs. Our watering can leaked all over the floor. We now have a new watering can! Prof P: Oops! Well done for looking after your bulbs so well.
Your weather comments:
Glyncollen Primary School: Thank you for putting our message on your blog. We brought the crocus into class and tried your experiment. It was very cold outside and our crocus hadn't opened but when they came into the warmth they opened. When we took them back out they closed up again. We have got a lot to do this week. We have to research what the mystery bulb is, although they have nearly opened. We have to measure the final height of both flowers and send you photos. We have also got to send you labelled drawings of our daffodils. Our teacher says we deserve a holiday after all our hard work.Yr.4 Glyncollen. Prof P: Wow Glyncollen, you really have been working super hard – your teacher is right, you do deserve a holiday, and luckily it is Easter break! Well done for doing the crocus experiment – I am really pleased that it worked for you.
St Athan Primary: not too sure of rain readings for this week as the gauge has been tampered with over night during the last two weeks. We are sure it's not the pupils during school time as it's been checked prior to staff leaving sorry about that. The children are upset about their part of the experiment being inaccurate despite my assurance that these things happen sometimes! Prof P: I am very sorry that someone has been tampering with your rain gauge. If you need a new one for the project next year I can send one. Please don't be upset St Athan pupils, I know that you have all been working very hard. I am very grateful for all the records you have sent in, you are all super scientists!
Darran Park Primary: Our crocuses have flowered this week, but as of yet the daffodils have not opened. They have been slow in growing. We are hoping that they will be ready to flower when we come back to school. We are on holiday as from today, for two weeks. HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL .from year 5 children in Darran Park Primary. Prof P: Happy Easter to you too year 5!
Stepping Stones Short Stay School: heavy rainfall over the weekend before Monday 18th, therefore the high measure by Monday afternoon. Heavy snow early on Friday 23rd, some melting by 2:30PM, measuring 3mm. Prof P: Excellent weather reporting Stepping Stones.
Tynewater Primary School: None of our flowers are out yet and we are on holiday for two weeks now for Easter. I am going to move our potted bulbs into a sunnier spot (in front of a south facing wall) for the holidays and hope that they are flowering by the time we get back on the 8th April. Do you want us to let you know what happens? Prof P: Yes please do let me know what happens!
Ysgol Y Ffridd: Yn anffodus toes yr un o'n blodau ni wedi tyfu. Athro'r Ardd: Mae'n flin gen i glywed hynny Ysgol Y Ffridd, ond nawr mae ganddoch chi dair wythnos arall i anfon eich cofnodion blodau. Gobeithio y bydd rhai o'ch blodau chi'n tyfu yn y tair wythnos nesaf. Da iawn chi am eich holl waith a daliwch ati i wylio'ch planhigion!
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Dear Professor, Another week of strange, cold weather, snow at the beginning of the week, bitter cold winds, then today blue skies in the morning, which then has started to rain! I have sent the children home with their daffodil pots, and I have asked them to record the day the flower opens. Happy Easter to everyone and lets hope we do get some sunny weather over the holidays! Regards Stanford Gardening Club Prof P: It's great that the children have taken their plants home! I hope you have some Easter sunshine in Oxfordshire to help them open.
Sofrydd Primary School: there have been snow showers through out this week. Prof P: It has been a very snowy March in some parts of Wales!
Ysgol Gynradd Talybont: This year we moved the thermometer to a different part of the garden nearer to the plant pots and it was directly in the afternoon sun, so we do not think it is a true reflection of the temperature. Prof P: Hmm, well done for thinking about your experiment so scientifically Ysgol Gynradd Talybont, I am very impressed.Maybe that wall IS a bit warmer than the rest of your garden, but it does sound like you have found a nice sunny spot for your plants to grow!
St Nicholas Primary School: We have daffodil flowers and our couple of crocuses that weren't eaten by squirrels have flowered! Prof P: What cheeky squirrels!! I suppose they must have been very hungry. I like squirrels a lot but they are not very good scientists!
Many thanks
Prof P
March 2013
Well done bulb buddies!
Well done to everyone who has sent in weather and flower records this week! Because flowering is so late this year we are extending the deadline for Flower Records to Friday 19 April. Hopefully this will give some of your plants a bit more time to grow!
The deadline for Weather Records is still the end of this week – so please send them in by Friday 29 March. Please also send me your pictures for the drawing competition by Friday 29 March too.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and for helping me with this very important investigation! Everyone who has sent in records will receive a Super Scientist Certificate and a fabulous Super Scientist red pencil! The school that sent in the most Spring Bulbs weather data will also win a Nature-Activity trip!
I will announce the winner on the 22 April, and the runners-up will get lovely prizes too. I will send certificates and pencils to schools on 6 May and will send the results of the Spring Bulbs investigation at the end of May.
You can take your plants home for holidays if you like, or keep watching them in school. If your flowers have not opened by the deadline please record this on the Flower record form and send it in. Every year we have some bulbs that do not flower. If this happens to your bulb it can feel a bit sad, but this is very important scientific information too and you will still receive your certificate and pencil, of course!
Whose flowers have opened this week?
Hywel Da Primary School, Ysgol Gynradd Talybont, Coed-y-Lan Primary, Darran Park Primary¸St Joseph's Primary School (Penarth) and Henllys CIW Primary in Wales, Stanford in the Vale Primary School, Archbishop Hutton's Primary School, St. Mary's RC Primary School (Lancashire) and St Nicholas Primary School in England, have all reported that their flowers have opened! Congratulations and thank you for sending your records.
Did you know?
- Snow is not unusual in March or April. In fact, it is more likely to snow at Easter than it is at Christmas!
I got this fact from Derek the weatherman! Derek says that this week may be cold with easterly winds but it may turn a bit milder by Good Friday.
Do you fancy going for a walk in the woods to look for wild spring flowers? Why not have a look at the Woodland Trust website to see what signs of Spring you can spot - from catkins and tree blossom to hearing a cuckoo or spotting a bumble bee.
Your questions, my answers:
Tynewater Primary School: We've had quite a lot of snow this which is still lying although beginning to melt. Our bulbs are barely showing through the earth - even the ones in the pots. We are on holiday for the next two weeks and if the bulbs are not showing any progress we will move them where they get a bit more sun than they do at the moment. Sorry again that we are irregular with our data. We are still keeping the information. Prof P: Thanks for the fantastic update TynewaterSchool, I hope that the new flower record deadline will give your flowers a little more time to grow.
Glyncollen Primary School: Nearly all our daffodils are open. Our crocuses have also opened. We still don't know what our mystery bulbs are. We hope we don't get any snow! Prof P: Wonderful news! I bet they look beautiful!
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: A mixture of cold winds, rain and a hopeful spring day, which turned to rain! Stanford Gardening Club. Prof P: Great weather reporting Stanford in the Vale!
Newport Primary School: It snowed at the beginning of this week and was really cold especially in the morning. The wind was very chilly. By the end of the week it warmed up a wee bit. Prof P: You are very dedicated scientists to keep sending your weather reports when it's so cold and snowy - well done Newport Primary.I hope you all have nice warm coats on when you go outside to record the weather!
Oakfield Primary School: What do you think about this week's rainfall? Prof P: We had a lot of rain on Friday in Cardiff, didn't we Oakfield? My rain gauge was quite full too.
Greyfriars RC Primary School: crocuses are starting to grow. Prof P: I am very glad, please keep sending in your records Greyfriars, you are doing a great job.
Newburgh Primary School: Our first crocus has flowered! We recorded this at the end of the day on Friday so we'll send details on Monday. Prof P: Hooray! And thank you for sending your crocus record – you can see it on the map. If you zoom in and click on the flower it will say the name of your school!
St Joseph's Primary School (Penarth): With only a week to go before the end of term, we are very keen for our bulbs to flower. We are keeping an extremely close eye on our pots and are ready to photograph the bulbs at the first sign of a flower! Prof P: Fingers crossed for you St Joseph's. Please do send me your photos, even if your flowers open after the deadline.
Many thanks
Prof P
1 week to go...
There is now only one recording week left to go until the end of the Spring Bulbs project! This means only one week until the deadline for sending in your records!
Whose flowers have opened this week?
In England RAF Benson Primary School is the first English school to send in flower records! In Scotland Newburgh Primary School have now had flowers and in Wales Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn, Magor Church in Wales Primary, Ysgol Bodafon, Rogiet Primary School and Oakfield Primary School have all had flowers. Well done and thank you for sending your results.
How are your plants getting on? Compared to last year our flowers are very late indeed!
By this time last year crocuses had flowered in 27 schools, but so far this year only ten schools have reported that their crocuses have opened!
By this time last year 26 schools had sent daffodil records, but so far this year we have only had daffodils opening at one school!
What do you think might be the cause? Many of you sent me comments about the cold weather and snow we had in February and your weather records show that we have not had much rain recently. When you have all sent in your weather records I will look for clues to explain why our flowers are late…
Weather Scientists at the Met Office say that average winter temperatures in the UK have been 'mild' this year – this means that winter has not been that cold compared to winters in the past. They also say that in January and February the UK had less rain than usual. I wonder if your weather records will agree?
Interesting Facts:
- The scientific study of the weather is called Meteorology and scientists who study the weather are called Meteorologists!
- When does spring start? When Meteorologists record the weather they say that spring begins on 1 March and ends on 31 May. But many other people say that the start of spring is the spring equinox on 20 March – this week!
Would you like to do a Super Scientific Investigation with your plants? I have put together some great ideas for experiments you can do in your school! Can you trick your crocus? Can your daffodil move? Click here to have a look: Professor Plant's investigation ideas
Your questions, my answers:
Ysgol Nant Y Coed: Some pupils have 6 crocuses in one bulb. Prof P: Gosh that is unusual!
St Mary's Catholic Primary School: Our flowers are being very shy and staying out of sight! Prof P: That's very sweet! Hopefully they will feel a bit braver soon and show their faces!
Greyfriars RC Primary School: We are having fun are you? Prof P: I am so glad! Yes I am having fun with my bulbs too, thanks for asking!
Newport Primary School: Weather just got colder this week. Crocus bulbs are through but there are none flowering just now. Prof P: Good work Newport Primary, flowering is very late indeed this year.
St Joseph's Primary School (Penarth): We are disappointed that our bulbs have not flowered yet but we can see that some of them are growing well and are nearly ready to flower. Hopefully we will have some interesting pictures to send you next week. Prof P: I hope so too St Joseph's! I would love to see your pictures.
Gladestry C.I.W. School: went to Cardiff on a school trip on thurs Prof P: I hope you had fun in Cardiff.
Glyncollen Primary School: Our daffodils and crocuses have opened. We will send you photos this week. Prof P: Hooray! I look forward to seeing your photos.
Coppull Parish Primary School: Sorry for not doing the weather on Monday. Prof P: That's okay Coppull Parish, thanks for letting me know and keep up the good work.
Bwlchgwyn C P School: we have 30 shoots. Prof P: That's great news!
Thorneyholme RC Primary School: Hi p.p on Friday we got 220mm of rain. Prof P: That really is a lot of rain!
Ysgol Porth Y Felin: To p.p we didn't have a record on thursday because of a school trip, and we've started measuring the tallest plant which is now 21.5cm tall. Prof P: Did you have fun on your school trip? Good measuring Ysgol Porth Y Felin.
Many thanks
Prof P
The Final Countdown!
Hi bulb buddies,
Time is ticking on and all your weather reports and flower records need to be sent in by Friday 29 March. This means there are only three weeks left to send in you data!
Don't worry if your flowers have not opened yet, three weeks is a still a long time. Based on the results from previous years most of your flowers will have opened by the end of March.
Every pupil whose school has sent in records will be awarded a Super Scientist Certificate like the one in the picture! But there's more… each of you will also get a very special prize… a Super Scientist pencil! – perfect for recording the results of your experiments. So don't miss out, remember to send in your records!
Whose flowers have opened this week?
In last weeks blog Ysgol Nant Y Coed was the first school in Wales to report that flowers had opened and this week lots more children at that school have reported flowering too! Gosh Ysgol Nant Y Coed, your flowers are doing very well. I wonder if the sun has been shining more in Llandudno?
Greyfriars RC Primary School in St Andrews, Scotland has also reported crocus flowering and Milford Haven Junior School in Wales has sent in records of a crocus and a daffodil flowering! Well done to both schools.
When your daffodils open remember to get drawing! You can send me your pictures and enter the Daffodil Drawing Competition. I am looking for beautiful pictures but they must also have clear labels which show the different parts of the Daffodil. You can look here to see some wonderful examples of winners' drawings from previous years.
Your questions, my answers:
Rhydypenau Primary School: We had rain over the weekend, that is why our gauge was full. Prof P: Thank you for the explanation Rhydypenau, that's really helpful!
Ysgol Nant Y Coed: Some of the crocus bulbs have flowered so we're sending that information now too. Prof P: Fantastic news! Thanks for your flowering records.
SS Philip and James Primary School: We really enjoyed doing it and remembered to do it every day, we hope that we can do it again soon. Phil+Jim bulb team Prof P: I am so pleased that you are enjoying it so much – I love recording the weather too!
Henllys CIW Primary: still no flowers. Prof P: It's exciting to see your flowers open, but your report that they have not opened is very valuable scientific information too! It could tell us a lot about how cold it has been this winter or how much sunshine we have had.
St Joseph's Primary School (Penarth): We have noticed that our plants continue to grow but we are keeping a very close eye on them to see which one will flower first - we can't wait! Prof P: I feel the same every morning when I look at my plants too.
Greyfriars RC Primary School: 11 daffodils are in bud. A's crocus is the only one growing but all the other daffodils but A's, why is A's daffodil not growing? Prof P: This is a very good question! I'm sorry that your daffodil is not growing A, you haven't done anything wrong! I am glad your crocus is growing instead. Sadly we do have a small number of bulbs every year that do not grow, it happened to some of mine last year. The reason it happens is unclear. When a daffodil doesn't make a flower gardeners say that the plant has gone 'blind' - as it has no flower head.
Ysgol Porth Y Felin: we had our holidays on the 11 - 15 week so we'll skip a week. everythings ok there hasn't been much rain and the temperature has been a little high!
from porth y felin. Prof P: Many thanks!
Kilmaron Special School: The school was on holiday on Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday we had very heavy snow and although the rain gauge only had 3mm in it there was almost 6cm of snow by 2pm. The gauge is in quite a sheltered place as we had problems with a pupil seeking it out and emptying it. Prof P: Good idea to move your rain gauge to keep it safe.
Glyncollen Primary School: We hope our flowers open this week as well. Prof P: Fingers crossed!
Kilmaron Special School: Still no signs of our crocus bulbs although the ones planted years ago in our other raised beds are blooming and the ones in the grass next to our raised bed are almost out. Prof P: Keep watching them Kilmaron!
Many thanks
Prof P

I apologize in advance for the level of pessimism in this post!
How can we be sure that the end of religion will help our human society progress? We seem to treat religion as though it were a living entity we must fight against, but it was man who invented religion and all the other ideologies that were used to control people. Man may very well replace it with another system that can do just as much harm if not more. Eliminating religion seems like treating symptoms rather than curing the disease..

A space heater did it. Again.
White smoke wafted out of a side window of the house at 1215 Macon Street midday Friday. Three engines and a ladder arrived at the scene after the call came in at 11:59 a.m. Firefighters quickly put out the flames in the living area on the second floor of the residence, and though the house is occupied, no one was home at the time.
"Damage was contained to that one room," Kinston Department of Public Safety Assistant Fire Chief Don Crawford said. "There's smoke damage throughout the second floor, but fire damage was contained to that one room."
KDPS arrived at the scene shortly after the report of a fire, and put in out within 20 minutes. Ten minutes later, investigators had their culprit — a space heater.
"It sat on an area rug, and the area rug burned to a bean-bag type of contraption that was in the middle of the room and caught it on fire," Crawford said.
Officials say a general rule to go by is to keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from any flammable material. Some people tend to keep their heaters too close to their beds on cold nights, but as in this case a rug can catch fire as well.
"Over the years that I've been in this particular field, we have lost the lives of several citizens, including children, due to unsafe use of space heaters," KDPS Director Bill Johnson said. "It's very preventable — very preventable. And, we stress that we offer free home safety checks."
The Kinston fire service is available to city residents 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Citizens can contact us at any time and we'll be glad to come out, free of charge — there's no enforcement action with it — to come out and check their space heaters, check their extension cords, that type of thing," Johnson said. "Just to make sure they're safe."
To request a safety check between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., call 252-939-3220. After 5 p.m., call the Lenoir County non-emergency communications at 252-559-6118, 252-559-6119 or 252-559-6120.

Low User Activity?
Is it just me, or has the room thinned out in recent weeks? I'm not seeing near the hits on threads, nor the high volume of comments that were the hallmarks of early Spring (it even seems like there is less art being posted). Is finals season that large an impact, or is there some other, more nefarious, reason? Is someone murdering CA artists!?

I believe it's the approach of final season. A lot of my friends are going bald for the exams. XD
also graduation date is coming, all the parties and things will drag people away. And college grads are probably busy looking for jobs or interns.

until your very first sun burn. your skin will grow bubbles and go off, leaving red,fried flesh underneath,which hurts extremely.
beer only leaves you with a bad headache the other day,but this is heavy shit!
seriously though i guess ppl really go out and start visiting bars(where you can sit outside) again.
also this might be the time for romance(we still have may remember?).
or everyone is treating their sunburn

i never claimed alcohol is harmless(hello mr.liver!) but usually it's less harmless than lying in the sun all day.
and the sun is of course not the only way to get burnt,but the most common.
there aren't many ppl who deliberately throw themselves into bonfires.

CenterPoint Energy was recently selected as a 2008 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award winner. The award is given to organizations that have made a long-term commitment to protecting the environment through energy efficiency and have demonstrated a successful partnership with ENERGY STAR. CNP was one of 74 winners chosen from more than 12,000 organizations that work with ENERGY STAR to help Americans save money on their energy bills and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.
The company was recognized for its work with new home builders in the Houston area, giving incentives to those that design and build homes that use less energy. "Houston is the country's leader in ENERGY STAR new home construction," said Jarrett Simon, CNP manager of program implementation. "When we started the program in 2001, our builders constructed 1,200 eligible homes. Last year, that number was 12,000."

Overview of the Collection
Historical Note
The Fife Folklore Archives Student Folklore Genre Collection consists of folklore items collected by undergraduate students in Utah State University folklore classes from the late 1960s to the present and folklore items collected by undergraduate students in Brigham Young University folklore and anthropology classes during 1960-1978. Most items include informant data, context, text (the folklore item), texture (stylistic notation), and collector data. The items of folklore are in text form on 8 ½ x 11 sheets of line-free paper. Since, 1999 genre items also include release forms. The materials do not circulate. The collection is separated into nine groups:
In the late 1960s, folklore courses were first taught at USU by Professor Austin Fife. At this time, Fife (a French professor) had his students collect items of folklore on pre-printed index cards. The information on the cards has now been transferred to 8 ½ x 11 sheets of paper and the items have been added to the genre collection. At about the same time (1967) at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, Professor William A. Wilson began teaching folklore classes. Wilson had his students collect folklore using both genre collections and major project (focused) collections. The genre items were separated and filed by genre. Also included in the BYU genre collection were items from two other BYU professors who had their students collect folklore: John Sorenson and Thomas Cheney. The student collections from Sorenson and Cheney were given to Wilson and he added them to the genre collection along with his students' work. On these items, in the upper right hand corner above all other information, Wilson noted "SC" for Sorenson Collection and "CC" for Cheney Collection.
In 1978, William A. Wilson left Brigham Young University to direct the newly established Folklore Program and Folklore Archives at Utah State University. Wilson brought to USU the student genre collection that he had amassed at BYU, with a copy of the genre collection remaining at the BYU library. At the USU folklore archives (later named the Fife Folklore Archives for Austin and Alta Fife), William A. Wilson and Barbara [Garrett] [Walker] Lloyd used the already sorted BYU materials when creating the collection classification system. This classification system, with its roots in the Finnish archive tradition, is still used at the Fife Folklore Archives.
Wilson was at USU until 1985 when he returned to BYU to head the English Department. However, the BYU administration gave him a year's leave of absence to copy all the student materials in the Fife Folklore Archives at USU and bring them with him to BYU. Wilson notes: "Hannele [wife] and I practically lived in the USU archive. Max [Peterson, Director of the Merrill Library] brought a copy machine into the archive, and we copied day after day. First we copied the entire BYU genre collection. Then we copied all the items in the accumulated genre piles [of USU items]." Thus, in 1985 the BYU and USU folklore genre and focused collections were identical. During the following years, William A. Wilson and later Kristi Bell at BYU's Folklore Archives (now named the William A. Wilson Folklore Archives) and Barbara [Garrett] [Walker] Lloyd and later Randy Williams at the Fife Folklore Archives at USU worked to maintain the same classification system at both universities' folklore archives. However, the materials submitted by students from the two universities began, of course, to differ from each other, as students generally collect the kinds of materials their professors talk about in class.
In 1985 Professor Barre Toelken came to USU (from the University of Oregon) to direct the Folklore Program. He continued the folklore-collecting legacy that Austin Fife and William A. Wilson began. Over the years Professors Steve Siporin, Patricia Gardner, Jan Roush, Jeannie Thomas, Lisa Gabbert and Lynne McNeill and instructors Barbara [Garrett] [Walker] Lloyd, Randy Williams, and Michael Christensen (and others) have all had their students collect and deposit folklore items to the Fife Folklore Archives. And thus, the USU Student Genre Collection continues to grow. The format has changed somewhat over the years to reflect the trends in folkloristics. As stated above, many of the early submissions had little contextual data, and often limited, if any, informant data. William A. Wilson created a collecting format that included: informant data, contextual data, and text (item of folklore). Barre Toelken and Randy Williams added "texture" to the format of genre collections, allowing the collector to give "the feel" of the item to potential researchers. In in 1998, students were asked to include release forms with their genre items, following a trend in the folklore field that addresses not only the item (which in some cases, like a joke, may been seen as part of the public domain materials and therefore not needing a release) but also the performance of the lore (and therefore necessary for a release from the performer informant).In 2002, the collection was moved from hundreds of three-ringed binders to archival folders and boxes, making the collection more physically stable and easier to manage and use. In 2003, the collection finding aids were encoded in HTML as a means of hosting them on-line for greater research accessibility. In 2012, the finding aids were hosted in EAD.
Content Description
The USU Student Folklore Genre Collection: Group 5: Songs consists of approximately 1,200 individual items of folksongs collected by undergraduate students. Most items include informant, context, text (the folklore item), texture (stylistic notation), and collector data. The materials reflect both insider (esoteric) and outsider (exoteric) views of a folk group and may be prejudiced or stereotyped.

John Flanigan says that going to the circus makes him feel like a kid again.
"It reminds me of when my mother and grandmother and grandfather took me to the circus as a young kid," he said. "It's a show that's designed for everybody. They've been doing the same kinds of acts for many, many years. It's all pure entertainment of different varieties."
Flanigan, of VFW Post No. 7315 in Havelock, is in charge of promoting the upcoming three-day appearance of the Cole Brothers Circus of the Stars next week in Havelock.
Proceeds from ticket sales go to support military members in the area.
Sherri and David Shepard, known as Carlee and Charlie, are a pair of clowns that do an advance act in the area to drum up enthusiasm for the circus. They spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday visiting day cares, doing mini-shows and handing out free tickets.
"We love coming out to do the shows. That's the heart of what we do," Sherri Shepard said. "We come out and build excitement for the circus."
Most of the children are receptive to a visit from a colorful character with big feet and a red nose.
"Every once in a while you get a child that's a little bit shy, but once they see that the other kids are having a good time, they kind of join right in," she said.
Bill Dundee, Cole Brothers marketing director, said just like always, the circus is comprised of good, clean fun.
"It's a G-rated show, family entertainment," he said. "That's very rare. I think that's why people still like the circuses because everybody can come, grandma to the smallest kid.
"We're selling memories. Grandma came when she was young and then she brought her kids and then her kids grow up and they have kids, so it's account of memories. We remember how it was when we were little and we bring our kids to get the same thrills we got watching them.
"Nothing has changed watching the circus. We've got tiger acts, lion acts, elephant acts, clowns, high wires, trapeze and all of that. Nothing has changed. Mom and dad bring their kids because they went when they were kids. It's memories we're selling."
There are a couple of new features in this year's show, including a new high-wire act and a new white tiger, but the staples that make a good circus are returning, Dundee said.
"We've got the elephants back, the real small baby elephant, the medium-sized baby elephant and the big elephants," he said. "It's a good show. It always is."
Shows will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 4:40 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. under the big top that will be set up at Walter B. Jones Park in Havelock.
Free children's tickets can be obtained by going to Kittrell Auto Parts or Painted Pelican in Morehead City or Top Cigars and Coastal Mini Storage in Havelock. Flanigan said free children's tickets have been distributed all over town to businesses that will take them, and about 300 tickets have been given out to military families at Cherry Point.
They can also be obtained at www.gotothecircus.com. For adults, ticket prices are $16 for general admission, $20 for reserved seating and $23 for VIP seating.
"When you're a child, you like everything," Dundee said. "There's no bad in the world to a kid. They love the clowns. They love the motorcycles, the elephants, the tigers, the hair hangers and the wire walkers. It's all fascinating to them."

NEWORLEANS- Mardi Gras-revelers were already lined up along the Krewe of Endymion's parade route on Friday night.
Saturday's forecast is bringing smiles to parade-goers and local businesses.
For the last two years, umbrellas, ponchos and lots of rain was what Mother Nature dished out for the Krewe of Endymion. This year krewe members are looking forward to riding their floats with no rain.
They're not the only ones.
'Last year we got rained out but we're anticipating a lot of folks starting to hang out. That's why we decided not to close this evening,' said Denise Thomas who is the manager at Juicy Lucy's. The restaurant has been closely watching the weather forecast over the last two weeks. Now the Mid-City restaurant is gearing up a hectic Endymion parade day.
'When I really realized it was going to be nice and clear and a beautiful day that's when we started stocking up. We're really happy that its going to be nice tomorrow,' said Thomas.
Parade-revelers are also eager to see their favorite krewe roll. On Friday afternoon, dozens of people were already staking out prime real estate ahead of the Carnival extravaganza.
'Great! We love sunshine. We're going to have a greater party,' said Angeline Larrieu.
Seasoned Mardi Gras goers like Shawn Gab know that what is anticipated to be a beautiful day -- means more competition for some of this year's coveted throws.
'Its going to be more crowded then last year because its not doing to be raining. I guess that's the only draw back but its going to be a lot better because it won't be raining,' said Gab.

2015 In Vitro Biology Meeting
The Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) welcomes you to join us in the Wild West to participate in the 2015 In Vitro Biology Meeting! The next SIVB annual meeting will be held from May 30 – June 3, 2015 in Tucson, Arizona at the Hilton Tucson El-Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort. This meeting will focus on plant and animal in vitro research and will give participants a unique learning experience on both basic and advanced applications of cell culture and biotechnology.
QSAR Application Toolbox Training Workshop
The QSAR Application Toolbox was developed under the aegis of OECD to facilitate the use of the category approach and QSAR methods to fill data gaps in classification and labeling. Use of the Toolbox will save resources, reduce the need for animal testing, and greatly accelerate the hazard assessment process.
QSAR Toolbox training is offered at two levels: Basic and Advanced. The Basic Training Course, which requires some knowledge of chemical structure, provides an overview of the Toolbox databases, modeling system, and use of QSAR methods for managing data and modeling, plus a hands-on introduction to filling data gaps for hazard assessment. The Advanced Training Course, for which the Basic Training Course is a prerequisite, is intended to provide the capability to make advanced hazard assessments for a wide variety of chemicals, along with documentation of the process in a form suitable for submission to regulatory agencies. Practicum training is offered for those who have completed the Basic and Advanced Training courses and wish to have additional practical work in applying the acquired skills to specific chemicals.
The Training Courses are designed for those charged with developing safety assessments for chemical manufacturers and distributors as well as for those charged with evaluating submitted assessments for new chemicals or those already in use in commerce. Those interested in or conducting research on QSAR tools and database development would also find the training useful.
Course registration fee for each course is €1815 (includes 21% VAT) for industry trainees and €1210 (includes 21% VAT) for government and university trainees. Registration fee for Practicum is €907.50 (includes 21% VAT) for industry trainees and €605 (includes 21% VAT) for government and university trainees. This includes installation of the OECD Toolbox on each trainee's laptop computer, all course materials, lunches, coffee breaks, and a Course Certificate. Language of the course is English. Trainees must provide their own laptop computers. Please visit the website above to register.
The 7th International Congress of Asian Society of Toxicology (ASIATOX2015) will be hosted by the Korean Society of Toxicology and Asian Society of Toxicology. The first congress of ASIATOX was held in 1997 in Yokohama, Japan. Congress of ASIATOX has been hosted by the member societies by rotation every three years. Please visit the website for additional information.
Second Latin-American Congress on Alternatives in Testing, Research, Industry and Education (COLAMA 2015)
IIVS is a proud supporter of the Second Latin-American Congress on Alternatives in Testing, Research, Industry and Education.

Abstract submission deadline April 15, 2015
Organ on a Chip World Congress and 3D Printing in the Life Sciences
The Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress focuses on an important and expanding field wherein cells are being assembled using microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip technologies in a functionally-relevant manner. These clusters of "assembled cells" have functional significance and can mimic in vivo organ structure.
Liver cells assembled on-board chips in a physiologically-relevant architecture using microfluidics can, for instance, be utilized for toxicity screening and the ability to assemble organ fragments ex vivo can provide an exquisite means to reconstruct biological processes (both physiological and pathological) "in a dish" or "on a chip." A number of chips such Lung-on-a-Chip, Brain-on-a-Chip, Gut-on-a-Chip, and others have been built and will be presented and explored at this conference.
Due to the overlap of this topic with 3D-Printing, the second track of this conference focuses on technologies and applications of biofabrication and 3D-bioprinting in the life sciences.
Present your Research at this Conference in a Poster to a Worldwide Audience. Poster Submission Deadline: June 30, 2015
51st Congress of the European Societies of Toxicology - Bridging Sciences for Safety
The topic of this congress, "Bridging Sciences for Safety", upholds the important role of Toxicology in bridging the knowledge of sciences like Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacology, Physiology, and many others, for the desired path of humankind towards a safer world. EUROTOX is the Federation of national societies of toxicology in Europe, which together have approximately 7,000 members. In addition, EUROTOX counts more than 200 individual members coming from 50 countries, mostly from Western Europe.
As such, the EUROTOX Annual Congress certainly represents a unique occasion to participate in the most important regular event of Toxicology in Europe and one of the most relevant in the world. It provides excellent opportunities for meeting delegates from all over the world, and is a privileged stage for exchanging ideas and experiences among colleagues and friends, establishing and reinforcing scientific networks, and learning the forefront scientific developments from distinguished scientists, opening minds for new concepts and paradigms in Toxicology and related sciences.
The Continuing Education Courses (CEC) held on the first day of the meeting are additional strong reasons to attend the 2015 EUROTOX Congress. Well-acknowledged scientists offer cutting-edge courses on dominant subjects of Toxicology, such as 3R methods in Toxicology, new recreational drugs, thresholds of toxicological concern, hazard characterization, co-exposure risk assessment, and risk assessment in food safety. CECs are usually well attended, not only by young researchers but also by teachers aiming to upgrade knowledge and skills
Meeting the Information Requirements of the Animal Welfare Act: A Workshop
The Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC) teaches a one and a half day workshop at the National Agricultural Library (NAL) in Beltsville, Maryland for individuals who are responsible for providing information to meet the requirements of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA).
The objectives of the workshop are to provide:
An overview of the AWA and its information requirements;
A review of the alternatives concept;
A comprehensive introduction to NAL, AWIC and other organizations;
Instruction on the use of existing information databases/networks; and
On-line database searching experience.
Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC)
Held every three years, Congresses on Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC) are sponsored by IUTOX. The meetings provide a forum for discussing toxicological problems facing developing countries in the future and exchanging views with toxicologists from all over the world, especially from developing countries and regions.
Chemical Watch Regulatory Summit U.S.
Annual two-day Summit bringing together experts in global chemicals regulations from around the world. Through presentations, round table discussions and Q&As, delegates will hear about the latest regulatory challenges facing the safe management of chemicals and learn how best to respond.

Sebastian Vettel is confident that he can maintain his winning momentum into the second half of the season, but the German doesn't underestimate the opposition.
"I think we had a great first part of the season," he said. "Very good results, unfortunately one DNF, but all in all I think we can be very happy with the first half. Now entering the second half and looking at the calendar, I think it will be very busy for all of us, but I think we have the same reason to be confident as we had starting the season.
"I think we have a great car, a great team, a strong package, which hopefully is good enough to fight for victories in the next couple of races."F1, Fernando Alonso, Formula 1, Formula One, Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel

Poor Quality
Best Uses:
Costume Party, Trick Or Treating
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about One-Eyed Erin Monster Tween Costume:
Cute and not as weirdly sexual like most tween costumes. But at nearly $60, I expected more quality and a better fit.

OXFORD, Ohio - Each crossing as the top finisher for Miami's cross country teams, sophomore Jess Hoover and redshirt senior Steve Kiplagat have been named Miami's Female and Male Athletes of the Week, respectively, for the week of Sep. 10-16.
Hoover (Hilliard, Ohio) was the first RedHawk to finish for the second straight meet Friday at the 6K Spartan Invitational, her first 6K of the year, finishing in 14th place in 21:45. She finished behind only runners from No. 11 Michigan, No. 13 Michigan State, Ohio State and one runner from Northwestern, as she finished 10 seconds ahead of Central Michigan's Krista Parks, who was the second individual from the MAC to cross the line among the three MAC teams competing. Hoover improved six places from last year's Spartan Invite even with a deeper field than the 2011 Spartan Invitational. She was running in a field of 309 individuals with 28 colleges and universities represented.
Kiplagat (Iten, Kenya) placed fifth at the Commodore Classic, hosted by Vanderbilt, Saturday, leading Miami to a runner-up team finish. Running his first 8K as a RedHawk, the transfer from St. Lawrence clocked a time of 24:47.34 to be Miami's top scorer. He was just 11 seconds behind the race winner in a talented field of 197 runners, trailing only a runner from Western Kentucky, one from Tennessee and two from 27th-ranked Eastern Kentucky, who won the race. The meet had a total of 24 teams competing, including seven SEC schools and two nationally ranked teams, one of which Miami beat (No. 30 Georgia was fourth), while Kiplagat helped the 'Hawks finish ahead of all seven SEC teams.
The Miami Athlete of the Week award is the first such honor for either Hoover or Kiplagat.
Both athletes are off this week but Hoover and the women's team return to action Saturday, Sep. 29 at the Sean Earl Lakefront Invitational in Chicago while Kiplagat and the men's harriers are back on the course on the same day at the All-Ohio Championship in Cedarville, Ohio.
The next Miami Athletes of the Week will be announced Tuesday, Sep. 25. For a list of previous winners, click here.
