Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly
Then, heigh-ho, the holly
This life is most jolly
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember’d not

Heigh-ho! sing, &c

Iranians celebrate Dec. 21 as the longest night of the year. It is called Yalda in the Persian solar calendar during which special ceremonies are held.

"GOD! I Love You"

I'm looking toward you,

My night is moon mirror,

look at my needy hands from up,

These days ,I am grateful to you for this pure serenity,

God! I love you

For all things you has given to me,

It is always you who ask about me,

Again I close my eyes,

To count your all goodness,

I can't, then I just say,

God! I love you

You saw my wrongs,

My heart lost, again I prayed,

Help me,as long as I can breath,

to come back to your arms,

You even know me better than me,

You know my poorness,

I dont want all this world,

you are the rain of feelings,

God! I love you

For all things you has given to me,

Again I close my eyes,

To count your all goodness,

I can't, then I just say,

God! I love you

The Same Sun

I cannot sleep tonight, I have you on my mind,
Even the wind is calling your name,
Though you are far away, I feel that you are near,
Whispering words from over the sea.
And if you wake in your night remember that I will be here;

And like the same sun that's rising on the valley with the dawn,
I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,
And like the same moon that's shining through my window here tonight,
I will watch in your darkness and bring you safely to the morning light.

Where there is love like this, forever for all time,
I will be there wherever you are.
Where there are hearts that live together in one soul
Nothing on earth will keep us apart,
And if you're crying inside, remember that I will be here.

And like the same sun that's rising on the valley with the dawn,
I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,
And like the same moon that's shining through my window here tonight,
I will watch in your darkness and bring you safely to the morning light.
I love you , I love you. I love you.

And if you're crying inside remember that I will be here.
And like the same sun that's rising on the valley with the dawn,
I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,
And like the same moon that's shining through my window here tonight
I will watch in your darkness and bring you safely to the morning light.

Same sun , the same moon, the same sun, the same moon.

You will be forever in my world,
I love you, I love you, I love you

• Don’t waste water by letting it run while brushing, shaving, or doing the dishes.
  
• If your dishwasher is an “Energy Star” model, using it for a full load uses less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
  
• Always wash clothes in a full load and use about half the “normal” amount of detergent, which is usually sufficient. Look for biodegradable detergents as well
  
• Keep showers short (3 minutes) - don’t shave in the shower and use the shut-off valve while lathering your hair.
  
• If you have a car, don’t wash it in the parking lot. (This is not permitted on campus anyway.) Take it to a car wash that uses reclaimed water or recycles water.
  
• When possible, use the water conserving fixtures (urinals and dual-flush toilets) being installed around campus (will start to show up Summer ’07)
  
• Report broken irrigation heads, which creates a “geyser” that goes straight up in the air about 20 feet, to Facilities Management at ext. 5444.
  
• Limit your use of ice and take only as much as you need. Ice-makers use lots of energy and water.
