Logo mats make a great impact. As a welcome into a building or on an exhibition stand, as a wall hanging, a promotional display or a bit of brand art, our logo mats offer designers and marketers a new way to get promotional messages out there.
Evergreens logo mats help get your brand into the public eye. Manufactured in our modern premises using a range of fibre-bonded surfaces in a huge range of colours, our logo mats can be made to any size and colour required. And, thanks to our in-house state-of the-art automated cutting equipment, we can offer a fast turnaround for your order.
Place yours today on 01572 768208 or request a sample.
Our logo mats are especially popular in the automotive, leisure and sport industries - though we're always keen for a new challenge. We can create intricate patterns and shapes and reliably reproduce complex corporate identities direct to logo mats.
Size really doesn't matter. For example, we created one of the largest logo mats ever produced for Argos who were exhibiting at Birmingham's NEC and measured 75m by 36m across. We're equally happy creating a logo mat at a single metre squared - it's up to you. There's no project too big for Evergreens.
In addition to logo mats, we also stock floor coverings suitable for showrooms and exhibition stands. This includes artificial grass, vinyl and exhibition carpet, which we can customise to include your logo and brand names.
As well as logo mats we can also cut any of our artificial grass products to any shape you require, thanks to our specialist CAD cutting tables and industrial press machines. Our logo mats and artificial grass have been a hit with many companies, who use them for product launches, along with promotional items and displays.

One of two closed former Tennessee Temple University dormitories is seen the campus in Highland Park.Photo by John Rawlston.
Two abandoned buildings owned by Tennessee Temple University are causing grief for some Highland Park residents.
The old dormitories, which have been vacant for about 10 years, sit on Union Avenue and Kirby Avenue, just beyond the fence that surrounds most of the buildings that are still used.
The city has deemed that the buildings are up to code, but that's not enough for some nearby residents.
"The wind goes through the buildings and slams the doors. It wakes me up at night," said Dean Smith, who lives across the street from one of the old dorms.
Smith said he and his wife have seen critters and kids crawl into the building, even after the bottom-floor windows and doors were boarded up. They've awoken in the morning to furniture strewn about the dorm's lawn, presumably thrown out the open windows by trespassers. Smith said he has seen hawks swoop in through the gaping windows and groundhogs burrow through the wall.
"It reminds you of Detroit or somewhere, where they just gave up and walked away," Smith said. "You can smell mildew when you walk by."
It's easy to see the mildew. Many of the ceilings in the two buildings are mold-soaked, with peeling paint. The railings have been removed for scrap from the four-story exterior staircases. Plants grow from the roofs, and Pepsi bottles sit on shelves near the open windows.
The president of Tennessee Temple, Steven Echols, said the two dorms are the only vacant buildings on campus.
"No one wants to bring [the buildings] down more than we do," said Echols. But, he said, "There's an enormous cost involved."
Even though Temple officials say the student population has grown in the past couple of years, it is still much lower than it was at its peak in 1980. Last month, the university announced that it is trying to sell the bulk of its campus because it plans to relocate to a different neighborhood.
Since summer, Tennessee Temple has had a contract drawn up with Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise that outlines an agreement for CNE to buy the properties. But CNE said there is still more due diligence to do before it goes through with the transaction.
"I know the neighbors are like 'Just buy it, and get it done, and tear it down,'" said Abby Garrison of CNE. But she reiterated how expensive it will be to demolish them. "They're big buildings. It's not like demolishing a house for $5,000."
Garrison wouldn't say when, exactly, CNE might be ready to purchase the properties, because she didn't want to disappoint people if there are delays. But, she said, "We are actively working on it, and have a short-term calendar in mind."
Echols said university officials may have jumped the gun a little when they started scrapping the building earlier this year. But, he said, they wanted to begin the preparation for demolition. And the university did not intend for the scrapping company it hired to remove many of the windows.
It may have been the scrapping that turned heads. After all, the buildings have been vacant for years.
The city did inspect the buildings, on Sept. 18 and Oct. 9, and deemed them secure.
Mike Wilson, the president of the Highland Park Neighborhood Association, said that ideally, his group would like to see the buildings torn down and replaced by a greenspace or new housing.
They would like to see "something that will completely erase the memory of those two old dilapidated buildings. … Something that reflects the new energy of Highland Park."
Garrison said that if CNE goes through with the purchase, it will solicit neighborhood input about how the property should be used.
"I think everyone agrees that something better can and should be on those pieces of land. No one's happy with they way they are right now," Garrison said.

Benjamin wasn't alone either.
Drinkbox studios are following through on their promise to support Guacamelee with DLC; pack #1 is now in our hands and features a trio of "costumes" (as well as enabling Tostada on PSVita) and some trophies to accompany them. There's no extra content as far as playable areas in this pack, but we're hoping next pack will fulfill that need – they've already stated this won't be the only one.
LittleBigPlanet PSVita is a virtually unlimted supply of gaming packed into one little cartridge. I loved it when I reviewed it in September. The amount of imagination that some of you have is simply unbelievable. There is an almost infinite supply of levels to choose from the community. But if you wanted another few from those that made the game then this little piece of DLC may be right up your alley. Especially if you are a Marvel Comics fan.

Governor's Proposal: The Governor's budget allows the
home to be a service delivery location for Medicaid eligible children in
need of mental health services.
Status: The expansion of in home counseling for children was
approved as part of 2013 Act 20.
Implementation Date: July 1, 2013
Function/Description: In home counseling is typically targeted
to children in need of family therapy, or children involved in the child
welfare system. Expanding in home counseling services promotes access
and engagement in treatment for families and children. Currently, in
home counseling is only available to children diagnosed with a severe
emotional disturbance through the Medicaid "HealthCheck Other" benefit. This
proposal would allow the existing Medicaid outpatient mental health
benefits to provide "the home" as a place for service for children,
especially those children 0-5 years old. The Governor's proposal allows
children access to in home service early in a child's
development to detour more costly services later in life.
Funding for expanding in home counseling for children:
Background: The service is used extensively throughout the
country to address children and families where a child is at risk of
placement outside the home, or where a child is returning from a
placement to a family environment. The service is used to promote family
therapy approaches to relationship issues between parents and children,
siblings, and/or other family members. This expansion promotes access
and engagement in treatment for families and children.

|Student Profile: Lauren Rossi
Lauren Rossi is a Manhattanville College senior majoring in psychology with a minor in history. She is one of the student coordinators of Creative Expressions Through Art, a Duchesne Center for religion and social justice program, which brings elementary school kids from the WestHab organization to campus for arts and crafts.
Manhattanville College has worked with WestHab for the past ten years. More than 100 Manhattanville students work with the Westhab youth each year as mentors, tutors, and club leaders.
Lauren intends to study education in graduate school.
In this brief Q&A, Lauren discusses her involvement with Creative Expressions Through Art and community service.
What is your role with Creative Expressions Through the Arts?
I am the student coordinator for Creative Expressions Through the Arts. We work with WestHab and the students come to campus. They are elementary school kids and we do arts and crafts projects with them. I have been doing it for five semesters and in the past we have focused on cultural crafts so we would look at the cultures of different countries and students would do a project related to that culture. This year we were looking at a teacher's calendar. For example, if one month was dinosaur month, we talked to them about dinosaurs and they did a project about that.
How did you become involved with this organization?
I transferred here (Manhattanville) when I was a sophomore, so that first semester I was originally just a student volunteer and there were a couple of seniors involved and they needed a replacement. I worked with one of the other juniors, and that is how I started out, but I have always loved working with kids so this is a program that I liked.
What did you bring to the program?
The previous student coordinators focus a lot on art history and I am not an art history major so I am coming from the education aspect of teaching them something.
How do you approach this then from the education perspective?
One week it was elephant appreciation week so I brought in a picture book that talked about elephants and how they survive in the wild. There were crafts online and the kids created models of elephants from paper. I take the ideas from crafts so I have them do things like coloring. There is a coloring page on dinosaurs, and rather than have them just color it, I had them cut two out and staple them together.
How receptive are the kids to the program?
They like it. Sometimes they want more advanced crafts which is difficult to do cause I am a full-time student. It's balancing everything. This semester we had a special opportunity to work with the Museum Education class. One of the girls in that class and I were able to combine efforts and go to the Berger Gallery and have the students look at the "How Will They Know Us?" exhibit. Kids from Iraqi and America teamed up to create murals. The students really liked it.
Are there a lot of Manhattanville students that are involved in this activity?
Bianca Genovese is a student coordinator with me. We get about ten to twelve different student volunteers each week.
Are you involved in any other activities at Manhattanville?
In regards to Duchesne Center, I have gone to different lectures and one of things they are talking about this year is cultural insensitivity so I have gotten involved with that. I have done the children's hospital in the past. I am a fourth grade religious education teacher outside of school. I am also a supplemental instructor (SI) for two classes and a math tutor.
Do you think this experience is going to help you in your studies?
It definitely does. I am a psychology major, I am not so much in the classrooms right now, but what I get to do is I get to think about how am I going to make learning fun for the students and how am I going to make it a hands-on experience. What you learn is sometimes they give you feedback, the kids, but it may not be as specific as an adult. It is just learning that this student is capable of this type of work, it is finding that balance and also having alternative activities like we have had. I print out word searches, reading activities also to cater to the age ranges; it's flexibility.
When you transferred here, was community service something you knew you wanted to do?
I have always loved working with others within my community and helping others, which is why I wanted to get into teaching. I started volunteering at different pre-schools when I was in middle school and I just continued it. I love that we actually have a center (at Manhattanville). At this school it (community service) is a beautiful experience. The students love what they do and want to be there.
If you know you want to be a teacher, why did you decide to major in psychology?
I wanted the developmental aspect. Just thinking about kids developmentally is really important. Psychology has also been a second career choice that I have had in mind.

Muti celebrates Spring residency with fine classic Austro-German survey
BY ANDREW PATNER April 20, 2013 1:08AM
Music Director Riccardo Muti leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in concert on Thursday night at Symphony Center. | © Todd Rosenberg Photography 2013
Where: Symphony Center, 220 S. Michigan
When: Repeats April 23 at 7:30 p.m.
Info: (312) 294-3000; www.cso.org
Updated: May 21, 2013 6:23AM
Riccardo Muti's spring residency has featured extensive public rehearsals with the Civic Orchestra, the professional training arm of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; a meeting with incarcerated youth at the West Side Cook County juvenile detention facility who performed their own compositions for the music director; and a celebratory evening with Chicago's Italian-American community and Italy's new general consul here.
With the CSO itself, Muti is in the midst of a three-week, three-program survey, basically chronological, of classic Austro-German repertoire from Bach through Schumann. Conductors get overcategorized — and often contribute to this pigeonholing themselves — as "specialists" in certain genres or as "more sympathetic" to certain national schools. Muti has received both mixed responses in the works of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven and has had controversial things to say about Beethoven and some of his German and Viennese successors in opposition to his beloved Italians.
Thursday night at Orchestra Hall gave a sense of how Muti can provoke varied emotions in the core symphonic repertoire. Opening with a fairly luxurious — if small in forces, just 19 players — reading of an early 18th-century Vivaldi eight-minute "concerto ripieno," a kind of pre-symphony symphony, Muti showed that emphasis on lyricism and polish that are such a part of his appeal.
As he moved into more complex — if often light on their surfaces — works by Mozart and Beethoven, one wanted more consistently deep engagement with these pieces, particularly because, on paper at least, Mozart's "Prague" Symphony and Beethoven's Fourth Symphony have similar innovative structures and harmonic concepts.
Both the Mozart, the D Major No. 38, K. 504 from 1786, and the Beethoven, B-Flat Major, Op. 60, start with unusual, dark and slow introductions before moving into sunnier and playful realms. These concentrated sections hold harmonic material — changes in keys and moods — that is then reworked and referred to by the composer throughout the works. Except for the last two movements of the Beethoven, Muti seemed to focus much more on an overall "cantabile" (singing) line in the pieces and a feeling of attractive lyricism at the expense of inner, if often subtle, turbulence and contrasts. Taking every repeat in the Mozart allowed Muti to show his precise attention to phrasing throughout the piece, and also to offer one of the longest "Prague"s ever heard here.
The presence of the tremendous San Francisco Symphony timpanist David Herbert, who will start full-time as principal here in the summer, did allow Muti to illustrate some of the devilish humor and commentary in both works, and in the finale of the Beethoven he gave the cellos and basses their head in passages where the composer turns the hierarchy of the string sections upside down. And brilliant bassoon David McGill was having the time of his life in both pieces with customary elegant contributions from clarinet Stephen Williamson, flute Mathieu Dufour and oboe Eugene Izotov as well.
Muti takes the orchestra and this program on a run-out Saturday night to the Krannert Center in Urbana at the University of Illinois, and welcomes his pianist compatriot Maurizio Pollini next week in concerts of more Mozart with later Beethoven plus Mendelssohn and Schumann.

Win a copy of BBC Earth's "Life" on DVD
I remember when my husband sat me down and told me I had to watch BBC Earth's Planet Earth. I sat there with my mouth open watching a film that introduced me to beautiful birds, fish, animals and other miraculous creatures that I will probably never get to see in person. Not only were the creatures beautiful, the film itself was stunning. The color, the closeups, the everything…it's just an amazing film to watch. If you're looking to understand why its so important that we don't harm natural habitats and why we need to care for this Earth, Planet Earth goes a long way in helping you understand.
The makers of Planet Earth have released another film, Life, that offers the same experience. There are 130 stories from the natural world – 54 of which have never been captured on film before. In addition to the creatures, the film also dedicates one portion to plants. The technology used to film Life has improved since the filming of Planet Earth (hard to believe it gets better than that).
Take a look at a clip from the film. You'll see sea creatures you most likely have never seen before and wouldn't get a chance to see if not for this film.
Like what you see? I sure do. Warner Brothers has given me to copies of the film on DVD to give away to my readers. Narrated by Oprah Winfrey, their are four DVD's in each box with 484 minutes of stunning image after stunning image. Special features that weren't seen when the Discovery Channel initially ran Life include ten behind the scenes video diaries by the filmmaking team, deleted scenes, and a music only viewing option.
How can you win one of the two copies I have? It's easy. Simply leave a comment below and tell me where you favorite place is to go to experience the natural world. This is very important – in your comment, you must leave a way for me to contact you if your name does not link to contact information. Your e-mail address or your twitter name would be ideal. If I have no way of contacting you, you will not be eligible to win. Two winners will be chosen at random.
Here is some other fine print:
- The contest will run until Wednesday, June 9, 2010 and end at 11:59 ET.
- Contest is only open to residents of the United States.
- The films will be send media mail – so your patience in their arrival after the contest ends is appreciated.
- Winners will be announced on Friday, June 10, 2010.
- Please only enter once. Second entries will be discarded.

Who wants to read all about Lindsay Lohan's life?
Well, as many as 10 publishers are betting that the answer to that question is lots of people, and Lohan is fielding offers in the seven-figure range to tell her story, E! News has exclusively learned.
Ideally a book about Lohan by Lohan would delve into all of the peaks and valleys of her career and personal life, and a source says that the 27-year-old actress does indeed plan on penning a "deeply personal memoir" utilizing the many journals she has kept over the years.
Which means that everything Lohan has been through over the years could be a literal chapter, including child and teen superstardom, addiction, rehab, jail, her love life, her family, etc.
Meanwhile, Lohan is still being filmed for an upcoming eight-part OWN docuseries about her past troubles and how she's moving on with her life and is probably going to be shooting that until around mid-January.
OWN's cameras have captured a few meetings with publishers, but Lohan is the one driving the project, the source says, adding, "She's a really good writer" and is actually planning on doing the leg work herself.

St. Vincent Is Funny Till It's Not
By Alan Scherstuhl
A Man Apart. F. Gary Gray. Vin Diesel tries to do Dirty Harry this time around and mostly gets it wrong. As a DEA agent busting a vicious kingpin, Sean Vetter (Diesel) wears a piss-poor mask and is easily tracked down by bad guys afterward, who get revenge by killing Vetter's wife -- now it's personal! Sean mourns his wife by smoking and drinking from tiny liquor bottles. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure known only as Diablo (the film's original title, until the makers of the unrelated video game of the same name got wind of it) is going around carving his initials in junkies' backs and starting up a brand-new cocaine cartel. Diablo apparently killed Sean's wife and the family of the kingpin Sean busted, so the cop must go visit the crook for more information, like a big, dumb, bald Clarice Starling. Standard revenge shenanigans ensue, with more boo-hoo numbers from Vin, who ain't up to it -- he hasn't been this lame since, uh, ever. Director Gray (Friday) seems hopelessly lost. Opens Friday, April 4, at multiple locations. (Luke Y. Thompson)
Bend It Like Beckham. Gurinder Chadha. Opens Friday, April 4, at the Plaza Frontenac. Reviewed this issue.
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. Shinichiro Watanabe. Cowboy Bebop takes the opposite tack from the overplotted Escaflowne movie, but it's almost too opposite -- a story that might work well as two 25-minute episodes gets padded out into two hours. Director Shinichiro Watanabe is right to be proud of the film's excellent animation but wrong to linger on it for longer than serves the plot (fans of the faster-paced TV show may want to buy the large Coke). That said, when the action sequences work, they work well; the climax cribs heavily from 1989's Batman but improves on Tim Burton's finale. Set in a future full of space travel and mercenaries, the film focuses on the crew of the starship Bebop: bounty hunters Spike and Fay, cyborg Jet and babbling hacker Ed, all of whom must foil a deadly nanoprobe outbreak and save the world. The film's being released dubbed and subtitled, and many fans love the show's regular dub cast, but a word to the wise: There's a fake Cockney accent in the English version that induces pain. Opens Friday, April 4, at the Tivoli. (Luke Y. Thompson)
DysFunktional Family. George Gallo. What are the sources of an artist's art? How does a performer dare to stand before the prying eye of a camera, an empty canvas or a roomful of strangers who've all paid 30 bucks to get into the joint? We don't get the complete answer from George Gallo's concert film/documentary. But we do glimpse the dynamic interplay between rising comedian Eddie Griffin's hilarious obsessions and the loving, screwed-up people who made him what he is -- his Moms, who once tried to run him down with the car; his heroin-addicted Uncle Bucky; Uncle Curtis, whose hobby is homemade pornography. Cutting between a slick Griffin concert performance in Chicago and a family reunion in Kansas City, Gallo shows us the raw material that's turned into Griffin's act -- and his defense against the old demons. Opens Friday, April 4, at multiple locations.
The Guys. Jim Simpson. A simple movie about an overwhelming thing: grief suffered in the shadow of 9/11. Anthony LaPaglia plays Nick, a fire captain who must speak at eight memorial services for men who died in the collapse of the World Trade Center; Sigourney Weaver, wife of director Jim Simpson, is Joan, a freelance journalist who volunteers to help write his eulogies. The movie, based on a play journalist Anne Nelson wrote hours after the terror attacks, features Nick and Joan sitting around a breakfast table for the better part of 90 minutes -- Nick reminiscing about fallen colleagues, Joan scribbling notes she will type into tributes. If that sounds like a huge downer, it is; still, The Guys mourns the dead and celebrates the living. It's a movie about the crafting and writing of eulogies that functions as one itself, and you almost want to hug The Guys for even existing, for saying something about 9/11 without feeling the need to shout or preach but whisper just loud enough so we can hear. Opens Friday, April 4, at the Plaza Frontenac. (Robert Wilonsky)
Nowhere in Africa. Caroline Link. Although beautifully shot and acted, this Academy Award-winner for Best Foreign Language Film is hampered by an unsympathetic lead character whose transformation from pampered, selfish bitch to strong, caring woman does not ring true. Adapted from an autobiographical novel by Stefanie Zweig, the film concerns the true story of a Jewish family who fled Nazi Germany for Kenya. Whereas the book unfolds from the perspective of the author (called Regina in the movie), a child of five when her family left Europe, writer/director Link shifts the film's focus to Jettel, Regina's mother, and to the parents' disintegrating marriage. Link seems to want this to be a movie about the force of love and the mother's own emotional development. Because we don't see what brings about Jettel's change of heart, however, the transformation feels false. The film boasts good acting across the board, with special praise for the two girls who play Regina at different ages, a lovely score and nice camera work, as well as the austere beauty of Kenya. Opens Friday, April 4, at the Plaza Frontenac. (Jean Oppenheimer)

Festival is a whole lotta BBQ
WTOP's Kathy Stewart reports
WASHINGTON -- For more than 20 years, the Safeway Barbecue Battle has been a one- stop shop for good food and music along Pennsylvania Avenue in Northwest D.C. It's an unofficial kick-off to summer and is the city's largest food and music festival.
At the two-day festival which takes place through Sunday, tourists and local residents can enjoy grilled grub from around the country, family entertainment and cooking demonstrations.
This year's event will help raise funds for D.C. Children's Charities and The Capital Area Food Bank. It also features a Military Chef's Cook-off presented by IKEA, in which representatives from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard will participate to benefit the USO Metropolitan Washington.

This program is free and open to the public and follows a brief general meeting.
Brackmann will discuss how to give that extra "verve" to a boring piece of fabric using dye and surface design techniques. Her slideshow and samples will show the effects of screen-printing, monoprinting, stenciling, resists, discharging and dévoré to make dynamic fabrics.
This lecture is based on her research for her book, "The Surface Designer's Handbook: Dyeing, Printing, Painting and Creating Resists on Fabric."
Brackmann is a professor emerita of textiles and art history at Mendocino College in Ukiah. Her book was recognized with an award as the best how-to textile book in 2006. She has had an interest in weaving since childhood and rekindled her desire to weave while working on a bachelor's degree in art history at San Jose State University.
Although she specialized in art history at UCLA, Brackmann took graduate weaving seminars while earning a master's degree. She has woven architectural scale wall hangings, as well as miniature pieces.
One of Brackmann's textile themes has been multiple layered art pieces and quilts. Some work uses multi-fibered handwoven fabric and the dévoré technique to chemically eat away part of the textile.
Her interest in art history and weaving influences her travels, and she records her impressions in photos. She has studied weaving techniques in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Central and South America, and has led study tours to Europe, Peru, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Australia and India.
Brackmann's has shared her accumulated knowledge in articles, by teaching, curating textile and craft exhibitions, lecturing and exhibiting her work both nationally and internationally.

Dr. Dahlkemper continued our tradition of community outreach and donated 30
backpacks brought in by our amazing patients. With our 3rd year of holding
the Operation Backpack event we have now donated over 100 supply-filled
backpacks to local schools. Each patient that participated brought in 2-3
backpacks filled with specific items requested by Charleston County Schools.
In return for our patients' generosity we gave them a FREE In-House One Hour
Chairside Whitening, valued at $400. We are truly thankful for the kind
hearts of our patients and hope to continue this spirit of giving in October
when we give back to our troops overseas with our 4th Annual Candy Buy Back

5 Things To Do This Weekend... Watch The Place Beyond The Pines
1. Watch... The Place Beyond The Pines
The first thing you need to know about this film is that Ryan Gosling is in it. Secondly, so is Bradley Cooper. Mr G is a motorcycle stuntman who turns to bank robbery in order to get money to contribute to his son's upbringing. A gripping tale combined with excellent eye candy. We're sold.
In cinemas now
2. Read... Dear Thing by Julie Cohen
When Ben's friend Romily offers to act as a surrogate to carry the baby he and his wife Claire have longed for, they think all their dreams have come true. But being pregnant with Ben's child stirs up feelings in Romily that she's tried to forget leaving two mothers with a baby that only one of them can keep…
Dear Thing, out now, is published by Bantam Press
3. Watch... Kourtney and Kim Take Miami
We're a little bit obsessed with all things Kardashian right now so we're thrilled that the new season of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami is back this Sunday. While we might have heard/ read snippets of what's in store, we can't wait to see it for ourselves blow by blow. Perhaps even literally.
Kourtney & Kim Take Miami is on E! on Sunday at 9pm

No, we're not talking about the old-school sci-fi tv programme with the underwater swimming baby. We're talking about the amazing duo comprising one half Air (Jean-Benoit Dunckel) and London-lass and New Young Pony Club member Lou Hayter. We're loving the cinematic sounds of their eponymously titled new album.
Out now

Reason to season:
A spoonful of spice may help the sugar go down. Cinnamon consumption can reduce glucose, triglyceride and LDL "bad" cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes, according to a 2003 Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center study. If you're not diabetic, "during cold and flu season, drink hot milk with honey and cinnamon to warm you up," Kaminsky suggests. Daily dose: 1/2-1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon is all you need, says Reardon.Kitchen tip: Available on store shelves as a ground powder or dried, tubular stick, cinnamon enhances the flavor of sweet potatoes, sugar-topped buttered toast, soy milk, oatmeal, baked apples and many desserts. Grating cinnamon stick into your coffee or tea adds a fragrant sweetness. Try it in this Spiced Corn & Rice Pilaf. Seasoning secretsHow you store and cook spices affects their efficacy.

President Obama Will Be Re-Elected Today
Wait, didn't we do this already, back in November? Yes, WE did, but the Electoral College hasn't cast its votes yet. And as we all know, you can't spell 'electoral' without 'Electoral College.'
The suspense is unbearable:
No one is expecting anything but a routine process Monday for Obama, who decisively won the popular vote last month, earning 332 pledged electoral votes to Mitt Romney's 206.
There have been some electoral defectors in the past, but they've been rare.
'No one' might be a bit of an exaggeration.
There are probably at least a few thousand Ron Paul supporters who haven't given up hope.

Meet Tim Scott, Your New Jim DeMint
Earlier this month Jim DeMint announced he was leaving the Senate in January to run the Heritage Foundation, perhaps because the Wingnuts of America Foundation isn't hiring.
This meant that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley got to pick someone to replace him, and today she will announce her choice: Rep. Tim Scott, a Tea Partier who joined Congress during the Republican midterm victory in 2010. What is his deal?

Will We Have a Conversation About Guns?
You probably spent a lot of time this weekend reading or watching the news, even though the news is awful to absorb and too terrible to comprehend, because all of us want to know what happened, and how, and why, and what happens next. That's sort of our thing, in America: we talk about stuff, from the trivial (Kim Kardashian's butt) to the profound (is health care a right or a privilege?), and we do it freely and openly and, often, in partnership with our elected officials. There are probably several members of Congress who can articulate clear opinions about Kim Kardashian's butt.
So you can imagine our surprise when, after the tragic events in Newtown last Friday, we learned that we are not having a conversation about guns. The White House said it was not time to have a conversation about guns, and the president gave a tearful statement that made vague reference to taking "meaningful action," and finally last night he gave a speech at a Newtown prayer vigil, saying he would "use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens [...] in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this."
Okay. So are we having a conversation about guns, now? How about now? Are we doing it now?
The funny thing is, even before last Friday people were expressing opinions about guns. They did it on Twitter and Facebook and Tumblr and on their blogs and on op-ed pages and in magazines and self-published zines and on radio shows and television programs. Why, we have joined the fray a few times ourselves. Even this weekend, while everyone was asking if we would have a conversation about guns, we were having a conversation about guns: Louie Gohmert said we should arm teachers to prevent school shootings, Mike Huckabee said gun violence happens because "we've removed God from our schools," and over 140,000 Americans said we should "immediately address the issue of gun control through legislation in Congress."
This is a conversation. It's just missing a few voices.
BTW, we reached out to ALL 31 pro-gun rights Sens in the new Congress to invite them to share their views on @meetthepress – NO takers.
— Betsy Fischer Martin (@BetsyMTP) December 16, 2012
Still no word from the NRA feed since Friday morning. But I think their silence says more than any Tweet would.

— Anthony De Rosa (@AntDeRosa) December 17, 2012
Maybe instead of asking when or if we'll have a conversation about guns, we should be asking why more people aren't joining the conversation that's been going on for decades. As for those who say we shouldn't have this conversation, or that we should minimize this conversation, well, that's one giant load of bull-hockey, no matter how you feel about gun control legislation. Talking, unlike some other activities, never hurt anybody.

Join Our Traditional Celebration of Tom Vilsack's Birthday
Some of you may remember our Traditional Celebration of New Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. For those of you who do not remember that, click these words.
Today Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack turns 62. In the rural hamlet where I was raised, locals always marked the Agriculture Secretary's birthday by gathering in the town square to recite facts about the Agriculture Secretary while gazing at pictures of hedgehogs. Then we ate cake and drowned the witches.
So it is my pleasure to begin this celebration of Tom Vilsack's birthday.
Tom Vilsack says the USDA wouldn't allow manufacturers to use pink slime if it wasn't safe. He should know, right? He's the Agriculture Secretary.

Gulf Toast
How Brad Watson's Grim, Witty Debut Novel Made Him the New Darling of Southern Lit
But death doesn't translate into loss in Watson's fine debut novel, The Heaven of Mercury. His survey of a "town of twenty thousand that had been twenty thousand now for almost the entire century" weaves the departed into the memories and waking life of the people left behind. The characters, Watson says in a recent phone interview, "have a preoccupation with their own imminent deaths. Their regret, their sense of life having an elegiac quality, I think is maybe testament to the sense I have that the dead aren't really dead."
Heaven's fantasy elements are a stylistic departure for Watson, 46, whose critically acclaimed 1996 short-story collection, The Last Days of the Dog-Men, offered a stark examination of the relationships and parallels between man and beast. "The language in general is more often lyrical and takes a few more risks," Watson says. "I knew that . . . it would become a book that you either like or you hate . . . . It was the only way that I could tell the story."
Inspired by his grandmother's life, the history of the Gulf coast, and his hometown of Meridian, Miss., Watson imagines a town populated by infidelity, racism, experiments on the dead, and regret. The announcement that Watson is a National Book Award finalist, apparently beating out another first-time novelist whose Lovely Bones have rattled around the bestseller's list for months, only enhances the tale of a writer who borrowed from his past to complete a work years after his initial success. After all, it took a while for Watson to get to Heaven.
"It was a difficult book to get started on," he says, describing "four years of false starts" and another couple of years to get a handle on the structure. "I just wrote around in the book so that [its] origin became obscured for me and the book came out of itself."
Watson connects an ensemble cast through Finus Bates, editor of the Mercury Comet and a local radio host. In 1906, a cyclone decimates the town and prompts young Finus to first see his childhood sweetheart Birdie Wells. Birdie's subsequent marriage to a shoe salesman, who slips women between the sheets faster than he can put them in a pair of comfortable flats, fails to extinguish Finus' infatuation. Instead, he maintains their friendship as both endure loveless marriages, the loss of children and grandchildren, and attacks on Birdie's reputation after the untimely death of her philandering husband.
Watson attributes Birdie's origins and marital discord to his grandmother's life. But when he started creating the character, he says, "I had to write about her in ways that I couldn't see my grandmother and I had to get beyond that. But the spirit of Birdie is like my grandmother, so I had to write with apologies to [her] for the liberties I took."
Several subplots in Heaven parallel the "infatuation at first sight" of Finus and Birdie--particularly, the actions of local undertaker Parnell Grimes. As a teenager, he revives a comatose girl mistakenly brought to his father's funeral home by climbing onto, and into, her. Parnell later marries a woman who placates his latent necrophilia by pretending to pass out and staying unnaturally limp when making love. In the shadow of Watson's black humor, the kinky relationship becomes the most stable in the book. It also accentuates a theme of obsessive first impressions.
"It's the idea that those kinds of first encounters have such a defining effect on the way someone sees themselves in relation to the world," Watson says. "It's something that defines the arc of their lives and usually not to a very good end."
In terms of his own literary career, Watson had to break from his life's trajectory in order to re-establish it. He published his first story in 1981, earned an MFA from the University of Alabama in 1985, and then quit writing fiction. "I was disgusted with my own work and . . . I wasn't going to do it unless I couldn't keep myself from [it]," he says.
Watson worked for a series of newspapers on the Gulf coast and didn't return to fiction until after joining the faculty of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in 1988. "By [1992] or '93," he says, "things started to click again. I think I generally loosened up a lot and took more risks [with my] narrative voice. . . . I felt like writing wasn't any fun when I quit . . . so when I went back, I decided that I could write loosely [and] pare it down instead of writing tight and squeezing it out."
In recent years, Watson has been a writer-in-residence at Harvard University and currently teaches at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, but he appreciates the time spent outside of academia. He credits journalism with helping him to become a less self-conscious writer and to tell other people's stories. It was this newfound perspective that yielded the Dog-Men tales, including "Seeing Eye," told from the perspective of a blind man's guide, and "Kindred Spirits," a dark story of lust, murder, and dangerously good barbecue originally published in a shorter version in Oxford American magazine.
"My time as a reporter," he adds, "was important in gathering material for this book 10 years later." Some of the major events in Heaven, including the tremendous storm of 1906 that dislocated the citizens it didn't kill, are directly based on the history of the Gulf coast.
Watson also uses the newsroom to briefly address the growing homogenization of regional voices. Near the end of the novel, Finus talks to a colleague whose "fading Michigan twang now warbled into some kind of new American generic fostered by television and a misplaced embarrassment over accents in general, a psychological and self-imposed diaspora of the regional self."
When asked if he agrees with Finus' assessment, it becomes clear that a diminished regional voice is a loss for an author who can effectively echo it. "Yeah," Watson says, "I think that the way people speak is becoming homogenized. I know a lot of Southerners who don't sound that Southern themselves because they've been around. They become chameleons to a sort of degree. . . . Every now and then you met someone who's educated, who's well-traveled, and who still sounds like a big hick, and it's heartening."
