Why do I like A Charlie Brown Christmas? I’m sure nostalgia plays a part, but the main reason this short film is one of my favorite Christmas movies is because of the music, characters, and themes.
To begin with, I really like the music. The tunes are catchy and are among the few jazz pieces I enjoy listening to. Above all, I like when the children sing “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” at the end of the film. Interestingly, CBS almost didn’t air this Christmas special in 1965 because CBS executives thought people wouldn’t like or understand the jazz music (Slife). In spite of these predictions, audiences loved the movie, and it won a Primetime Emmy award and was nominated for a Grammy award (“A Charlie Brown Christmas”).
Another part of the appeal of A Charlie Brown Christmas is the characters. Although CBS executives didn’t like that the characters were voiced over by children, this actually makes the characters real and endearing (Slife). Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, and Sally act and sound like children and make the story fun, entertaining, and yet somehow thoughtful. When Charlie Brown desponds about how Christmas is being commercialized, I can relate, for what was true when the show aired in 1965 is still true today. Lucy is her usual bossy, worldly-minded self, giving out psychiatric help and chasing dreams of real-estate. Solemn Linus drags his blanket about and doles out wisdom that deserves to be heard by more than just his peers in the film. Schroeder pounds away with dedication at his piano, and Sally tags around after Charlie Brown and Linus, exasperating and embarrassing them as she busily composes a letter to Santa Claus.
As the story opens, Charlie Brown tells Linus, “I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel.” Of all the characters, Charlie Brown seems to be the only one who understands that something is wrong about how everyone is celebrating Christmas. Are Christmas lists, cards, plays, and presents what make Christmas wonderful? Or are they reminders of a greater wonder, the Son of God born in Bethlehem, the greatest Gift the world has ever known?

Thales UK has opened its new Maritime Autonomous Systems Trials and Evaluation Centre at Turnchapel Wharf in Plymouth.
The centre will be used to build on Thales’ existing autonomous systems work as it aims to strengthen its position in the UK market.
Thales is hoping the centre can help the company change the way autonomous capability is developed over the next decade by enabling rapid exploration of emergent and disruptive technologies.
The centre will also play an integral part of a joint programme between the UK and French government to develop the next generation of autonomous mine hunting systems.
Thales has invested £1m into the facility and has committed to a five-year plan to develop autonomous systems at the site, a move which has created 20 new high-skilled jobs.

According to the National Christmas Tree Association each year in the U.S. alone between 25 and 30 million live Christmas trees are sold. To accommodate this annual chopping fest, at any given time there are around 350 million trees growing on various Christmas tree farms in the United States. As for the other side of things, it’s not clear how many trees are illegally cut each year at Christmas time, although Christmas tree poaching is generally considered a pervasive problem throughout the regions of the world that celebrate Christmas.
In the United States where the average live Christmas tree costs in the neighborhood of $40-$50 and an artificial tree can be much more expensive than that, it’s easy to understand (although difficult to excuse) why some turn to crime to decorate for the yuletide.
To thwart these villainous poachers, those managing areas containing trees that would otherwise look great decorated with some ornaments and tinsel have come up with a variety of approaches to protect their evergreen charges.
Perhaps the most interesting of all of the deterrents is fox urine. Containing the volatile chemical compounds delta-3-isopentenyl methyl sulfide, 2-phenylethyl methyl sulfide, 6 methyl-delta-5-hepten-2-one, and trans geranylacetone- all believed to help the fox with its intra-species “olfactory communication“- in the great outdoors in winter, you could walk by a place sprayed with fox pee and not even notice it. However, once the sprayed object is brought inside and warmed up, it reeks to high heaven, very much akin to a skunk’s spray.
Those who use fox urine, like the City of Lincoln, Nebraska, sometimes augment it with other stinky (e.g., skunk essence) and non-stinky (e.g., glycerin and water) substances and spray the whole mess onto any trees that look like someone might like to put them in their living room for Christmas. Together with signs posted identifying the presence of the smell and how it works, the fox urine application has been highly effective at reducing Christmas tree poaching – according to Lincoln’s parks supervisor, dropping the tree theft totals drastically down, to a perfect zero, in 2012.
Another popular option is skunk spray. At Washington State University, prior to taking defensive measures entire trees or the tops of large trees were often illegally cut each year on the campus at Christmas time. But after applying skunk stink to their trees (the smell also being largely benign within a few days after application as long as the temperature is cold), for the most part, trees are no longer poached.
At Cornell University, the groundskeepers decided to assault a different sense in their initiative to protect their trees- sight. They mix together red food coloring and hydrated lime to produce a fluorescent pink, non-toxic paint that they use to spray certain of their trees. The pines remain glowing pink for about a month (outlasting the Christmas season), before the color fades.
Not all tree-cutting is bad (unless of course you’re the tree ;-)), and in addition to tree farms where you can cut your own Christmas tree (after you pay the owner and get permission of course), you can also cut Christmas trees in many of the National Forests. Beginning in November, some of the national forests start to issue tree-cutting permits for a modest price typically around $10-$20. Subject to rules such as no topping of tall trees, choosing only trees with trunks six inches or less in diameter and not cutting within 200 feet of main roads and campsites, the permit otherwise allows the permitee a fair amount of leeway when it comes to picking and cutting the perfect Christmas tree. However, violations of the permit rules are harshly punished, including with fines of up to $5,000 or six months in jail.
Under the Federal Lacey Act that covers illegal tree cutting as well as a variety of other activities related to poaching fish, wildlife and plants in the U.S., civil penalties can reach $10,000 and criminal penalties can reach as high as $500,000 and earn the offender up to five years in prison. Nonetheless, tree poaching remains a major problem, not just around Christmas time. Worldwide, it’s estimated that tree poaching annually results in the loss of around ten to fifteen billion dollars of timber.
The average time it takes to grow a Christmas tree to 6 feet is 7 years, although some varieties take as long as 15.
There are nearly 15,000 Christmas tree farms, employing more than 100,000 people in the U.S.
At Washington State U., they use coyote urine to discourage students from cutting campus trees. As a graduate of the U of Washington, I find this humorous.

“I think it was John sort of said, ‘Winston Churchill!’” McCartney remembers, and acts out the aghast, stymied reactions.
McCartney also chats about how the group listened to George Harrison lose his virginity and how on one tour in the middle of the winter, they created a ‘Beatle’s sandwich’.

What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Black River?
If your plan is to clean out the whole home, then you probably need a 20-yard roll off dumpster. You can also use this size for a large basement or loft clean out.
When choosing a dumpster, though, it's often advisable to ask for a size larger than what you believe you'll need. Unless you are a professional, it's tough to gauge the precise size required for your job. By getting a slightly larger size, you spend a bit more money, but you also prevent the possibility that you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is almost always cheaper than renting two little ones.
Determined by the size of your endeavor, you may need a little or large dumpster that could hold all the debris and remaining stuff.
The most common dumpsters include 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard versions. For those who have a small endeavor, including clearing out a garage or cellar, you can probably reap the benefits of a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. For those who have a bigger endeavor, including a complete remodel or building a new home, then you will most likely need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
Lots of folks decide to rent a bigger dumpster than they think they will desire. Although renting a bigger dumpster prices more cash, it is cheaper than having to an additional dumpster after a little one gets total.
The quantity of time that you need to rent a dumpster in Black River typically depends on the type of project you're working on. A small endeavor, such as a cellar clean out, will probably take a few days to finish while larger projects, like constructing a new house, could take several months.
Most businesses in Black River are happy to adjust their programs to suit your needs. Keep in mind, nevertheless, that the more time you keep the dumpster, the further you'll need to pay for it.
When you contact businesses in Black River, ask them how long their terms are. Many will allow you options such as several days or one week, however there are typically longer durations available, too.
You should also inquire how much the businesses charge for extra time. This way you understand how much it costs to keep the dumpster for a few extra days if desired.
The amount of money that you spend renting a dumpster in Black River will depend on several factors.
The total amount of time that you might want to keep the in Black River will also influence the price. The more time you keep the dumpster, the more you can expect to pay.
Services are another concern that could impact your overall price. Many businesses comprise services like dumpster drop off and pick up in their prices. Some companies, however, cost for all these services. That makes it important for you to ask about any hidden fees.
Finally, you might need to pay higher prices for disposing of particular substances. In case you would like to add tires or appliances to the dumpster, for example, you can expect to pay slightly more.

No one takes readers to the dark side and back with more razor-sharp jolts and sheer suspense than the storytelling master behind Ice Cold and The Keepsake. When New York Times best-selling author Tess Gerritsen has a tale to tell, put yourself in her expert hands and prepare for the shocks and thrills that are certain to follow.
Every crime scene tells a story. Some keep you awake at night. Others haunt your dreams. The grisly display homicide cop Jane Rizzoli finds in Bostons Chinatown will do both.
In the murky shadows of an alley lies a females severed hand. On the tenement rooftop above is the corpse belonging to that hand, a red-haired woman dressed all in black, her head nearly severed. Two strands of silver hair not human cling to her body. They are Rizzolis only clues, but they’re enough for her and medical examiner Maura Isles to make the startling discovery: that this violent death had a chilling prequel.
Cracking a crime resonating with bone-chilling echoes of an ancient Chinese legend, Rizzoli and Isles must outwit an unseen enemy with centuries of cunning and a swift, avenging blade.
©2011 Tess Gerritsen (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
Loved it, I've become a fan.
Most enjoyable listen I've had in a while. The story and characters kept me totally engaged and wondering until the end. I'm going to be trying more of Gerritsen's novels.
This has long been a favorite of mine. I'm a librarian and mysteries and police procedurals are my favorite genres. I enjoy the straightforward storytelling of this book. The narrative is interesting and contained enough twists to keep me happy. Rizzoli and Iles are main characters but the author also allows the limelight to be shared with some fascinating secondary characters. The story, set in Chinatown, involves a modern-day crime, an old crime, and throws in a dash of mysticism based on Chinese folklore. One of the things I liked most about the story is the satisfying ending. I felt like everyone got what they needed, wanted or deserved.

To Know Us Is To Love Us covers the public reaction to a Vietnamese refugee camp constructed outside Fort Smith in Arkansas, 1975—not long after the end of the Vietnam war. The film documents the stories of the refugees coming to the United States, along with the reactions of American troops, the public and citizens who take in Vietnamese refugees to assimilate them into American life.
Guilty Until Proven Innocent reports on the issue of innocent people confined to prisons on remand in the UK, circa 1974. People are imprisoned without trial and are later released with either a small fine, a set of mandatory conditions, or leave completely innocent. It’s a strange set of circumstances in a country with such pretensions of a bill of rights and espoused ‘legal protections.’ Is bail a right or a privilege?
Thalidomide: The Ninety-Eight We Forgot follows a four-year investigation on behalf of a group of children damaged at birth by the drug Thalidomide which was introduced in the late 1950s to treat morning sickness and to aid sleep. The drug caused birth deformities, such as phocomelia, with more than 10,000 children in 46 countries born with deformities. This film investigates why a group of people are excluded from compensation from the effects of Thalidomide by various legal proceedings—still relevant today in the context of how the legal system continues to protect corporations at the expense of life itself.
The Murder of Fred Hampton is a film which began with the intention of documenting Fred Hampton and the Illinois Black Panther Party during 1971, but during the film’s production, Hampton was murdered by the Chicago Police Department and FBI. The film project then quickly split into two parts: the portrait and biography of Fred Hampton, and an investigative report into his murder. The result chronicles important historical context. Hampton was a radical activist and deputy chairman of the national Black Panther Party, during the civil rights and black power movements in the United States. Hampton was killed as part of COINTELPRO—the illegal “counter-intelligence program” run by the FBI, aimed at destroying domestic political organisations through surveillance, infiltration, disruption, threats, violence and assassinations.
Using interviews and frontline footage, Vietnam — The Quiet Mutiny reveals the internal sense of disillusionment and frustration born from the rift between bureaucracy and soldiers, that triggers the withdrawal of the United States military from Vietnam. As the US employs psychological warfare against the Vietnamese, reporter John Pilger finds himself unable to obtain meaningful information from the military—a press conference he attends is nicknamed “the 5 o’clock follies” for the evasive nature of the proceedings. And so it is with the grunts, the “wheels of the green machine,” that Pilger finds a very human side to the US presence in Vietnam: soldiers who were once ready to serve their country, now doubtful of their purpose there. Plied with visits from Miss America and ignored by Vice President Spiro Agnew, they experience the war in a way many of their superiors do not.

2012 Gibson Les Paul Limited or as I call it a '52 Reissue. The is the only Gibson Les Paul I recall Gibson stating the wood selection used to be Grade A.
"To accurately recreate the unparalleled look, feel and tone of the early Les Pauls, Gibson USA crafts the Les Paul 60th Anniversary Goldtop’s body from a solid, non-weight-relieved, one-piece Grade-A mahogany blank topped with a solid, carved two-piece maple top. The body’s weight and solidity achieve astounding sonic girth and sustain, while the classic maple-mahogany combination blends tonal warmth and depth with plenty of cut and clarity. The one-piece, Grade-A mahogany neck is carved to the thick, meaty early-’50s profile that plenty of modern players have come to love and appreciate, a constructional choice that not only yields plenty of grip in the left hand, but enhances tone considerably by transferring a greater proportion of neck resonance into the body, via the time-tested, mortise and tenon Gibson neck joint. A Grade-A rosewood fingerboard is bound in vintage cream, with acrylic trapezoid inlays, and partnered by a vintage-cream pickguard that has been hot-stamped in gold with the “60th Anniversary” legend. As was the practice in the first year of production, the three-way pickup switch carries no plastic ring."
The instrument is super clean without repairs, alterations or modifications. Other than a few small marks (which do not photograph) it is as close to a showroom instrument as you will get. I don't think this instrument has more than two weeks play time on it. The fret wire shows almost no wear. Google Les Paul Limited for all the specs.
The neck is chunky, but not a R8 baseball bat neck. Neck dimensions taken off the instrument .
Good condition items function properly but may exhibit some wear and tear.
Fair condition gear should function but will show noticeable cosmetic damage or other issues.
Poor condition gear may not work properly but can still perform most functions.
Non Functioning items do not work as they should.

LONDON—Facebook is lifting the lid on the algorithm that decides which posts appear in its news feed, as part of a drive to be more transparent and offer greater control to users.
The feature “Why am I seeing this post?”, being rolled out from Monday, April 1, offers some insight into the tens of thousands of inputs used by the social network to rank stories, photos and video in the news feed, the foundation of the platform.
The new news feed feature will show users the data that connect them to a particular type of post, Hegeman said, for example, that they are friends with the poster and they’ve liked their posts more than others, they’ve frequently commented on that type of post before, or that the post is popular with users with the same interests.
Facebook developed the new tool with research groups in New York, Denver, Paris and Berlin, he said, and as a result of feedback, Facebook has made it easy for users to access tools to control what is in the news feed themselves.
Facebook is also updating it’s “Why Am I Seeing this Ad?” feature launched a few years ago with additional details, Hegeman said, such as explaining how ads work that target customers using email lists.
The company shifted its strategy for its centerpiece news feed in early 2018 when it decided to prioritize posts from family and friends and downgrade non-advertising content from publishers and brands.

Let me start off by saying what’s been on my mind for a while. How long exactly? Try since February of last season. There are many different perspectives on what needs to happen going forward for the Rangers. I’m here to tell you parting with Kevin Hayes would be the wrong move. Here’s why.
A lot went wrong last year in a disappointing ’17-18 without the postseason for the first time since ’09-10. However, Hayes wasn’t one of them. He was a bright spot in a season of turmoil. In fact, he more than anyone deserved to win the Steven McDonald Award. He put out the extra effort that personifies the prestigious award that’s supposed to honor the one Blueshirt, who goes above and beyond the call of duty. Instead, fans voted with their hearts, selecting Henrik Lundqvist. Nothing against the franchise netminder. But he wasn’t as consistent as Hayes, who gave an honest effort most nights while facing stiff competition as the team’s match-up center.
On a club that didn’t pack much punch, Hayes showed marked improvement at the center position. Brutally honest with his assessment about needing to shoot the puck more, he accomplished it by recording a career high 25 goals, finishing tied for second with former Ranger Michael Grabner. Only Mika Zibanejad had more goals, notching a team best 27 while anchoring the top line. Zibanejad is a streaky finisher, who did his best work a man up. He paced the team in power play goals with 14. A terrific number considering he missed 10 games due mostly to a concussion.
While Zibanejad should produce as a number one center, he doesn’t have the tough assignments the well rounded Hayes gets. Let’s put it this way. Zibanejad will never be confused with Patrice Bergeron in his end. The evidence supports that argument. Of his 47 points, 21 came on the power play. His even strength production was okay, going 13-12-25. He added one shorthanded assist. Overall, it sounds okay until you get to his plus/minus rating. His minus-23 was the worst among Rangers forwards. Only recently re-signed defenseman Brady Skjei was worse finishing minus-27 in a uneven sophomore year. If the 2018-19 Rangers are to improve under rookie coach David Quinn, both Zibanejad and Skjei will need to be a lot better five-on-five.
When one assesses the current roster, there aren’t many effective even strength players. Hayes stands out as one due to the position he plays, along with the increased role he had under former coach Alain Vigneault. He did many things wrong to earn his walking papers, but utilizing Hayes in a checking role wasn’t one of them. The 26-year old excelled in his fourth season. Despite adjusting on the fly to an assignment ex-Ranger Derek Stepan once was suited for, he proved his worth throughout the year.
At times, he can be a frustrating player. But it really clicked in Year 4. That’s why I’m against the silly notion created by obnoxious, washed up columnists that the Rangers would be better off trading him. Of his 44 points, Hayes produced most at even strength going 17-17-34, while adding a team best two shorthanded goals. That means that 36 of 44 came outside of the man-advantage where he still managed to record a career high six power play goals. That was impressive considering he wasn’t always used due to personnel, which included ex-Blueshirt Rick Nash. Mats Zuccarello and Pavel Buchnevich were used much more along with sniper Zibanejad, and net front presence Chris Kreider.
Hayes saw his ice-time increase by almost a full minute, averaging 17:21 per game compared with 16:34 the previous season. Vigneault showed more trust in the lanky big man, who possesses the puck quite well. He’s the number one penalty killing option with Jesper Fast, who brings a strong work ethic to the rink. It makes sense to team them up at even strength on a solid checking line. Ryan Spooner or Lias Andersson could be a good fit. That’s if the coaching staff decides to keep Filip Chytil at center with Hayes still part of the roster.
Right now, GM Jeff Gorton has two players left to re-sign. Both Hayes and Spooner have arbitration dates if something can’t be worked out. Even with the future at center in good hands thanks to 2017 first round picks Andersson and Chytil, it’s not a bad idea to keep Hayes around. He brings something that no other current Ranger can. Maybe Andersson can become the next match-up center. But it would be unrealistic to expect that of the Swede in his first full season.
The issue is Hayes’ asking price. Supposedly, he’s looking for an AAV of $6 million over six years. If the Rangers commit to him, he would be signed through 2024. Similar to Skjei, who’s two years younger. He received an AAV of $5.25 million over six years. An investment on a young player, who is vital to the franchise’s future.
If you read between the lines, the organization may not be willing to sign Hayes for that long a term. They also have 20-year old center prospect Brett Howden at their disposal. A former Lightning first round pick in 2016, who could project as a two-way pivot. He is only 20. There’s no reason to rush him unless he blows them away in training camp. Howden was part of the blockbuster trade that netted D prospect Libor Hajek along with a first round pick this past June, plus a conditional second in 2019.
Vladislav Namestnikov also came over in the deal that sent Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller to the Bolts. Both re-upped long-term with the versatile Miller receiving an average of $5.25 million over the next five years. Though a more productive player at this point than Hayes, Miller can be exasperating. He had another poor showing in the playoffs, finishing with two goals and six assists in 17 games for Tampa. His playoff career is mind numbing with only three goals scored in 57 games. He was still making the same mistakes that got him traded. Even playing with elite talent, he was eventually moved off a line that featured Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov in Tampa’s crushing Game Seven defeat to the eventual champion Capitals in the Eastern Conference Final.
Sometimes, you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. Unless they’re certain Hayes can be replaced, the Rangers should pay him. Maturing as a player with more responsibility, he should only improve. His career high in points is 49, established in ’16-17. Even before Vigneault turned him into a checking center, Hayes was performing much better at even strength. Of the 17 goals he scored, 15 came at even strength with another coming shorthanded, while the other was on the power play. He was barely used there due to Miller. Hayes also recorded a combined 26 assists at even strength and shorthanded in ’16-17, with only an additional six on the power play.
There’s a reason he’s been on the plus-side of the ledger in all four seasons. Most impressively, he wound up plus-one last season with a awful defense, where both D and forwards were lost. That included Zuccarello, who showed signs of slowing down. Even though he led them in scoring again with 53 points, Zuccarello was too predictable at times with his passing. A superb playmaker due to his patience and vision, he tallied a team high 37 assists including 21 at even strength, and 16 on the man-advantage. While the production is still in line with what he’s done, it’s worth noting that no Rangers forward received more ice-time (18:55).
Let’s not forget he’ll turn 31 entering the final year of a contract that pays him an AAV of $4.5 million. In other words, the popular Ranger probably isn’t part of the plan over the long haul. The organization will have a hard decision to make come next February. Zuccarello only recorded 178 shots, scoring 16 goals for a shooting percentage of 9.0. Interestingly, Hayes had six less shots, but hit a high percentage (14.5) with his 25 goals a career mark. That was mostly due to an increase during the second half. The production is excellent considering how he was deployed. Even though his Corsi was a 45.9, it was mostly due to his zone starts. He started in the defensive zone 57.3 percent of the time compared to just 42.7 percent in the offensive zone. He also made a improvement on face-offs winning over 50.0 percent for the first time in his career. He took 1,112 draws, going 562-and-550 (50.5).
When you carefully assess what Hayes brings to the table, it would be careless to move him. They should keep him and see how things progress. There’s a process when it comes to developing young takebr such as Andersson and Chytil. Even Pavel Buchnevich has room for improvement due to a penchant to pass more than shoot. The Rangers need to trust the process.

Plans to improve air quality in the area by supporting the use of “greener taxis” have received backing from the Government.
It has awarded more than £780,000 to three councils for the creation of up to 30 charge points for ultra-low emission taxis in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford.
Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Stafford Borough Council hope that the money, from the Taxi Infrastructure Investment Fund, will buy 10 rapid electric vehicle chargers for each area, resulting in an extensive network of charging infrastructure for cross boundary journeys and those between urban and rural areas.
There are currently 2,071 licensed private hire vehicles and 466 licensed Hackney carriages operating in the three areas, serving a population of 500,000 people. Only four per cent are hybrid cars or use alternative fuels. The Government wants all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040.
Newcastle Council Leader Simon Tagg said: “I welcome this funding from the Government. Taxis provide a valuable service to the public and are on the roads day and night so this has the potential to make a massive difference to air quality and residents’ health.
“It aims to give taxi operators the confidence to switch from traditional, diesel-powered vehicles to electric cars. This would improve the quality and availability of licensed vehicles and lead to a wider uptake beyond taxis in the long-term.
The announcement supports work already underway by the Borough Council and City Council to improve local air quality and achieve compliance with a Ministerial Direction as early as possible following exceedances of nitrogen dioxide levels along a section of the A53.
The councils must develop a preferred policy and cost-benefit assessed options for action by the end of October 2019 at the latest against the default position of a Clean Air Zone (CAZ). The study is expected to cost around £500,000 and is being funded by the Government.
While CAZs without a charging scheme are possible, compliance in some areas of North Staffordshire could be achieved by introducing an element of charging for some road users to remove vehicles from the “hot spot” locations, subject to further exploration.
A working group involving staff from both councils has been set up to oversee the project.
Meanwhile, the Borough Council is consulting on taxi licensing proposals to incentivise the uptake of electric vehicles by extending the upper age limit that they can be licensed until, in recognition of the greater upfront cost, as part of its draft taxi licensing policy.
Cllr. Trevor Johnson, Borough Cabinet member for environment and recycling, said: “The deadlines we are facing to get this project moving forward are very tight because this is a complex and difficult problem.
“But the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has made it clear that our country has to take action when nitrogen dioxide emissions – mainly generated by vehicles on our roads – are at such levels that they pose a hazard to public health.
Councillor Anthony Munday, Stoke-on-Trent City Council cabinet member for greener city, development and leisure, said: “Our three councils bid together for this government funding, and we are pleased to have secured the money. We are serious about making Stoke-on-Trent a sustainable energy, smart city. We’re developing a district heat network to power homes and businesses, and our plans to improve public and sustainable transport have been shortlisted for government Transforming Cities Fund money.
Another project includes an engine retrofit scheme on buses travelling through Basford Bank, from Sandy Lane in Newcastle towards Festival Park, as part of a separate Ministerial Direction served on the Borough Council. This is one of the worst polluting routes in the area and currently involves vehicles run by First Bus on its 3, 4 and 4a routes.
Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) have been declared where nitrogen dioxide levels exceed or are close to legal limits. In Newcastle this affects the M6 at Madeley, Newcastle town centre up to and including Etruria Road, Liverpool Road, Kidsgrove, and the road running through May Bank, Wolstanton and Porthill. Stoke-on-Trent was declared an AQMA in 2006.

Spring is well and truly here, these Starlings look particularly fine shining in the sun in the Obs garden.
The selection of bird species in the garden usually starts to rise at this time of year as various migrants move through, including this Siskin.
Not much seemed to happen on 24th, although a Chaffinch arrived at the Haa, but by 25th things were looking a lot more promising. The strong SE winds delayed the plane (which eventually made it in via Foula) but started to bring birds. Amongst them were two firsts for the year, with six Chiffchaff and three Wheatear found, along with a Stonechat (the sixth of the spring), Reed Bunting, two Chaffinch, 13 Blackbird, 6 Song Thrush, 4 Redwing, 3 Robin and 13 Pied Wagtail.
Chiffchaff lurking in Gilsetter (and staying slightly out of focus, but it's the first of the year, so we'll let it off).
Amongst the winter lingerers, the Kumlien’s Gull, a Glaucous Gull and Merlin were all still present.
Snow Buntings are being seen in small numbers daily, this one dropped into the Obs garden briefly.

Have you heard the expression “The only thing constant is change”? Well, change comes to constants, too.
Consider law firm marketing techniques. The bedrock principles may not have shifted, but how they can be executed most effectively certainly has.
You may not need to overhaul your fundamental beliefs about marketing your law firm, but forward-thinking attorneys and law firms are always interested in refinement, new information and growth. With that in mind, here are some thoughts on how and to whom you should be exercising your law firm’s marketing fundamentals.
Why: Can you remember the last time you used a phone book for anything other than a doorstop? Of course, print isn’t dead and there are certain practice areas, such as Elder Law, for which yesterday’s technology may still have some value. For attorneys in most practice areas, however, it makes much more sense to allocate resources to an online directory listing instead. First, consumers know online directories are an efficient one-stop shop and seek them out because they offer many options all in one place. Second, directory listings can help demonstrate to search engines that you’re a viable, legitimate entity. Best of all, directories tend to be low-effort marketing initiatives that, with a relatively small amount of care, can produce results for a lengthy period of time.
Why? FindLaw found that between 2014 and 2015, the importance consumers placed on social media grew 70 percent. That’s just one of many statistics that could be used to show a solid social media presence is a must for law firms that want to thrive. That being said, there has never been a magic cure-all in legal marketing, and just because social media is the shiniest option in the toolbox doesn’t mean it’s the miracle we’ve all been waiting for. In fact, the growth of to social media simply reinforces the old saying about “location, location, location.” If you want to come to mind when a consumer has a legal need, then you need to be where he or she can see you. That means you need to post to Facebook, volunteer at the Lions Club Pancake Breakfast, check in on Twitter, sponsor the PTA silent auction and update your LinkedIn profile.
So stick with what’s always worked: If you’re expressing what distinguishes your law firm from its competitors, and sending that message through the right channels to the right audience, you’re on solid footing even when the online landscape changes. As long as you’re open to new ideas, trying new things and meeting your potential customers where they are, you’ll remain in a good position.

There’s some useful information here.
For me, this talk was so fascinating, it was worth the cost of admission to VCON. In fact, I spent days thinking about the topics discussed. These are just a few of them as I remember it.
In the world of sequels, this is a pretty impressive one. The animation is gorgeous and if you spring for 3D there’s a whole added depth. John Powell once again does an amazing job with the soundtrack, though it didn’t quite have the same magic as in the first one and that is something I’ll say about the entire movie.
The movie is very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Where the first movie was a story about friendship and finding your place in your world, this is a coming of age story. It’s five years later and a lot has changed in our favorite viking village of Berk, dragons have became a part of the culture. Things seem perfect, everyone is happy and content–everyone except Hiccup that is. He’s a free spirit and flies far from home, creating maps and searching for dragons. But his father believes it’s time to retire and for Hiccup to take over as leader, this is an honor Hiccup is not thrilled about. The story goes on from there, it’s solid, but not terribly imaginative.
SPOILERS ahead! I found it interesting to discover Hiccup’s mother was actually still alive, but it’s definitely not the most original move. Part of me was happy that Hiccup and Stoick were so understanding as to why Valka has been gone for 20 years. It warmed my heart, but my brain had some trouble with it. I feel like there would have been some anger or hurt going on, it didn’t need to be extreme, but I didn’t feel her explanation as to why she left and stayed away was very convincing. But I will say it was very sweet, especially the scenes with Stoick and Valka, which of course was put in to twist the knife later on.
The idea of the dragon army being amassed by any angry, scarred man, with a grudge against dragons, was rather typical. They went from a heart warming story about a boy who befriends a dragon to a typical action adventure story about fighting an ultimate foe. I liked that Hiccup had to grow up, learn, and take responsibility, but killing Stoick to do it felt like another cliche. I don’t think these things would have bothered me with most kids movies, but after the magic of the first one I had such high hopes. I will not say that those hopes were dashed, because I did truly enjoy the movie, but I did leave feeling disappointed.
I think my final point and perhaps the one that annoyed me the most was that Astrid didn’t play a larger role in the story. I wanted to see her and Hiccup working together more. They’ve been dating for 5 years and are apparently going to get married one day, but aside from the promising beginning there wasn’t much of them working together as a team. It’s not that Astrid wasn’t present throughout the movie, but her scenes weren’t important for the most part and we didn’t get to see much of the relationship between Hiccup and Astrid. I was also disappointed that Astrid and Valka never had a scene together. I would think that Hiccup’s mother would want to get to know the girl who is likely to become her daughter-in-law. It could have been a great scene but it appears they were too caught up in their giant dragon battles to fit that in.
I know this is all rather negative and it is by no means a bad movie, it’s beautiful and has some great moments in it, but after the simple magic of the first, I feel like this one could have been so much more than the big action film it turned out to be.
If anyone’s been wondering where I’ve been it’s a rather funny tragedy.
A couple of weeks ago I was in town and happened to walk past an Apple store. Now my MacBook Pro is getting rather old and so in anticipation that it would one day need to be let out to pasture I decided to check out what the Apple store had to offer. I wish I hadn’t.
That very same evening, while I was making dinner and listening to Spotify, my computer took revenge on me for my wandering gaze and crashed. I must have broken its heart because it would not revive, even after my profuse apologies for my weakness.
It ends up that my hard drive crashed and I will likely need a new laptop.
And that, dear reader, is my tale of woe and the reason for my absence from the blogging world.

Remember the Archer family? They were one our three 2017 Gift of Beautiful Trees recipients, and we recently cut their split maple tree down that was heavily damaged in last June's tornadoes. (You can read more about their story here). Not long after we removed that tree, Cub Scout Troop 1885 was looking for an opportunity to plant a tree for a service project and they heard about the Archers through our Gift of Beautiful Trees charity program. The perfect match!
With summer fast approaching, we needed to beat the heat and get the tree in ground soon. On May 8th, Troop 1885 met at the Archer's house, ready to dig! Okay, maybe Jeff did most of the digging. But we had plenty of helpers to move soil back into the hole and to water it in!
"What should I plant?" It's a complicated question, as every landscape is unique, and every homeowner has different expectations for what their ideal tree would offer. Should it be tall or wide? "Tidy" and easy to maintain? Flowering or fruiting? Should it offer sparse or dense shade? Is it purely for beauty as a landscape accent or does it have a job, like shading a driveway or home?
Thankfully, the Nebraska Forest Service has published an awesome list of suggested trees for 2016. The trees from that list are shown below, along with their seeds/fruit, foliage and fall color. Click the tree name for more information!
This list is not all-inclusive, of course, but it does provide great trees that are proven to thrive in our region and that are readily available. We work with select local nurseries that provide quality stock. Call us if you're interested in planting any of these species!
Mulch - but not too much!
Mulch is a useful tool that benefits and beautifies your landscape in many ways, but you need to make sure you're installing it correctly in order for plants to reap those benefits instead of suffer. Unfortunately, many landscaping companies install "mulch volcanos," and we see so many instances of these around town that it's practically burned into our minds as the correct way to do it! WRONG! Some might find these volcanos to be visually appealing, but boy do they make us arborists cringe!
Reduces root competition between trees, weeds and grass.
Reduces soil compaction from foot traffic.
Keeps weed whackers and lawn mowers away from the trunk and surface roots.
It looks nice. Unless you do it wrong. Mulch volcanos: Ugly. Mulch volcanos: BAD!
Keep mulch away from the trunk. Bark that is constantly damp is an invitation for disease, fungus and insects.
Keep it shallow. No more than 2-3", please!
Expose the root collar. Make sure the flare is visible at the bottom of the tree. Surface roots can actually grow upward, girdling the trunk and strangling the tree. Yes! STRANGLING!
Take it out the drip line (if you can). While this may not be feasible for all landscapes, it's most beneficial for the tree. As a bonus, you don't have to mow under the tree, exposing surface roots to lawn mower damage. It can be a real struggle to grow grass under a tree, anyway! Give up and install mulch!
In the second part of our tree planting blog series, we're tapping into the knowledge and wisdom of horticulturist and owner of Great Plains Nursery, Heather Byers. Great Plains Nursery, located in Weston, NE, focuses on growing high quality plants that are native or especially suited to our climate. They start their trees from locally-collected seeds and grow them with love! Here are three things Heather advises you to look for when shopping for a tree.
When choosing a new tree to add to your landscape there are lots of things to look for. Here are a few tips when purchasing a quality tree.
1. First of all… start at a LOCAL nursery or garden center.
If you can buy toilet paper and screws there, it’s not the best place to find quality trees.
The root ball should be free of circling roots and contain lots of small, fibrous roots – a tree grown in the Rootmaker® containers and RootTrapper® bags are our highly preferred choice.
Check for stem girdling roots around the trunk – these are bad.
The root collar or flare should be right at the soil level. If it looks like a telephone pole then it’s planted too deep and this can cause problems down the road.
Don’t hesitate to dig around in the tree a bit before buying it – this is going to be your tree, so get to know it before you make the purchase.
Shade trees should have one relatively straight central leader.
Main branches should be well distributed along the central leader, not clustered together.
Temporary branches particularly on trees 1 inch caliper or less should be present along the lower trunk below the lowest main branch – in other words, it shouldn’t be “limbed up” just yet.
The trunk should be free of wounds, sunburned areas, cracks, signs of boring insects, cankers or lesions. Properly made pruning cuts are acceptable.
The trunk caliper (thickness) and taper should be sufficient so that the tree remains vertical without a stake.
By following these basic guidelines you’ll be enjoying your new trees for years to come.
Time to Plant: Part 1 - Pick the "Right Tree for the Right Place!"
Welcome, March! Spring is finally near, which means it's a good time to think about tree planting. This blog post is Part 1 of a series of 3 posts that will help guide you in planting a new tree this year! NOW is the time to start researching!
We recently had the pleasure of assisting a customer select a replacement tree after we removed one from their front yard. There were many factors we and the customer had to take consider before ultimately selecting a Ginkgo Biloba tree.
How did we decide on this tree? They were looking for a tree to plant near their driveway for shade, and a tree that would offer privacy for the house. The tree would have a somewhat limited canopy space later in its life because of other nearby mature trees and a power line. Ginkgos are heat tolerant, work well as street trees and are good for somewhat confined spaces. Lastly, the customer also loved the aesthetics of this tree and its gorgeous yellow fall color. Ginkgos are a great choice for southeastern Nebraska!
Many times, deciding on which tree to plant is more complicated than, "Hey - that one's pretty!" There are a number of factors that should be considered to responsibly select the "right tree for the right place."
Aesthetics - Use trees to create depth and visual appeal. Are you looking to add color? Height? Texture? Trees can really help frame a space and add a background to an empty lot. The US Forest Service suggests not placing a tree where it will split your lot or view into two equal halves.
Sun ray angles change throughout the seasons.
Privacy & Wind-breaking - Consider a low-branching conifer for hiding unsightly areas. Using a combination of densely planted conifer and deciduous trees provides the best protection from wind, dust, noise, light or nosy neighbors.
Creating Boundaries - If you simply need to define the boundaries of your property, a small narrow-crowned tree will do the trick.
This is often the most overlooked factor when selecting a new tree. You'll need to envision the planting site in 5, 10 or 20 years to consider the tree's mature height, canopy spread and root space. Sure, you can prune the tree as it grows to keep it properly elevated over sidewalks, driveways or your home, but it's best to select the right tree from the get-go so you won't need to rely on pruning in the future. But hey - when you need that pruning, give us a call, won't you?
At the nursery, those young canopies all look the same! Ask for assistance or do your research so you know what canopy shape you'll be dealing with when the tree matures. To the right, the US Forest Service illustrates common canopy shapes.
Trees mature into a variety of canopy shapes.
Typical root spread of a mature tree.
We cannot stress enough the importance of selecting a tree that is genetically inclined to thrive in our climate!
Soil & Drainage - Is your soil sandy, clay-y (is that a word? I'm using it...) or a combination of both? Sandy soils will require more water, and clay-y soils will require less water (no more often than every 7 days in the summer). An easy method to determine the drainage of a site is to dig a 12x12x12 hole in the planting site. Fill the hole with water. If the water drains in fewer than three hours, the drainage is excellent, and plants suited for dry locations will perform well. However, this method should be done only when the soil is already moist or the test will yield false results.
Also consider that high traffic areas generally yield compacted soil, which means poorer drainage.
Lastly, each tree species has a tolerance range related to acidity and alkalinity. If you're unsure of your soil pH, you can have a simple and affordable soil test performed by Midwest Laboratories here in Omaha.
Pests & Diseases - Research common pests and diseases for the trees you've got your eye on, and consider their long term care requirements and the costs and effects of repeated pest or disease treatments. You might consider a disease-resistant variety, like the Valley Forge Elm which is resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (vs. American Elm). Some trees are naturally resistant to most pests, like Ginkgo, Bur Oak and Goldenrain Tree.
A Bur Oak will drop large acorns, so you may not want to plant over your driveway or street.
Crabapples, female Ginkgos and Walnuts produce messy fruit that you may not want to scrape off your sidewalk or driveway (or the bottoms of your shoes!) These trees may be better to plant over a grassy or mulched area.
Lindens, tulip trees and maples produce samaras (Helicopters? Whirly-gigs?) that may clog gutters.
Kentucky Coffee Trees and Catalpas produce large seed pods that you may need to rake up periodically if you prefer a clean and tidy lawn.
Whew! That's a lot to consider!
So it's time to do some research. Please feel free to reach out to us if you need some suggestions or insight from a Certified Arborist!
Our friends at the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum composed a nice list of the best (and worst) trees to plant in Nebraska and we thought we'd make a nice visual to go along with it!

Aston Martin previously announced its plans to build a new continuation series of the iconic DB4 Zagato from the 1960s, with a corresponding bespoke version of the contemporary DBS Superleggera that would be sold along with it as a pair. This is our first look at the new model, which will go under the DBS GT Zagato nomenclature when it reaches its 19 lucky owners at the end of 2020, around a year after the corresponding DB4 Zagato continuation model. They will be collectively sold at an eye-watering $8million, plus local taxes, yet despite the sky-high price tag, it’s still $4-5million less than an original DB4 GT Zagato on its own. Together, the pair will be known as the DBZ Centenary Collection, the exclusive duo commissioned to celebrate 100 years of Zagato, the last 58 of which it has enjoyed a close working relationship with Aston Martin. Just 19 pairs will be built (Aston won’t sell the cars separately), with the DBS versions built in Gaydon and the DB4s assembled at the Aston Works facility in Newport Pagnell. As with the earlier DB4 GTs and the recently announced James Bond DB5 continuation cars, the DB4 GT Zagato will not be homologated for the road, meaning it’s limited to ‘track use only’. Unlike these machines, however, this isn’t the first time the Zagato has been treated to a rebirth. The original was built between 1960 and 1963, but there were two further batches of cars in 1988 and 2000, known as Sanction II and Sanction III versions respectively.

Quality Services — Dr. Kevin and Desmon Carl, O.D.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. With OCT, each of the retina’s distinctive layers can be seen, allowing your to map and measure their thickness. These measurements help with early detection, diagnosis and treatment guidance for retinal diseases and conditions, including age related macular degeneration and, diabetic eye disease, among others. We are proud to offer this at the Eye Clinic.
During a routine eye exam, some eye doctors may want to determine through visual field testing the full horizontal and vertical range of what you are able to see peripherally. This range is commonly referred to as "side vision."
Visual field tests assess the potential presence of blind spots (scotomas), which could indicate eye diseases. A blind spot in the field of vision can be linked to a variety of specific eye diseases, depending on the size and shape of the scotoma.
Many eye and brain disorders can cause peripheral vision loss and visual field abnormalities.
For example, optic nerve damage caused by glaucoma creates a very specific visual field defect. Other eye problems associated with blind spots and other visual field defects include optic nerve damage (optic neuropathy) from disease or damage to the light-sensitive inner lining of the eye (retina).
Fundus photography documents the retina, the neurosensory tissue in our eyes which translates the optical images we see into the electrical impulses our brain understands. The retina can be photographed directly as the pupil is used as both an entrance and exit for the fundus camera's illuminating and imaging light rays. The patient sits at the fundus camera with their chin in a chin rest and their forehead against the bar. Then we focus and align the fundus camera. A flash fires as the photographer presses the shutter release, creating a fundus photograph like the picture above. Optometrists use these retinal photographs to follow, diagnose, and treat eye diseases.
Fundus photography can be performed with colored filters, or with specialized dyes including fluorescein and indocyanine green.
Pachymetry is a simple, painless test to measure the thickness of your cornea -- the clear window at the front of the eye. A probe called a pachymeter is gently placed on the front of the eye (the cornea) to measure its thickness. Pachymetry can help your diagnosis, because corneal thickness has the potential to influence eye pressure readings. With this measurement, your doctor can better understand your IOP reading and develop a treatment plan that is right for you. The procedure takes only about a minute to measure both eyes. It also tests for the possibility of glaucoma.
This test helps detect abnormalities in distance stereopsis and thus can give an earlier indication of the need for surgery. This stereopsis test is for patients as young as 4 years of age.
Measuring the lactoferrin and Ige levels in your eyes prior to LASIK surgery is a valuable tool for your doctor. Laser surgery is performed on the cornea of your eye. The cornea receives a majority of its nutrition from your tear film. Thus, how well the cornea heals after surgery is dependent on the overall health of your tear film.
It is important to have both lactoferrin and Ige levels measured prior to surgery. This will ensure that your tear film is as healthy as possible prior to performing surgery. If your tests are positive for either dry eye or allergy your doctor can prescribe a course of therapy prior to surgery to alleviate your dry eye symptoms and/or allergy. By improving the dry eye or allergic conditions prior to surgery we improve the healing conditions within the eye and reduce the chance of post surgical complications.
If your exam shows that your tear film is reduced, your doctor may recommend punctual plugs as a method for enhancing your tear film. Punctal plugs are a way of plugging the tear drainage system so that your own natural tears stay on your cornea longer. Punctal plugs can increase the tear film quantity and have been clinically proven to elevate lactoferrin levels in the eye.
Ask your doctor about performing a tear chemistry analysis prior to your LASIK surgery.
Lasik is an exciting vision correction option. It is not a choice that you should make based on advertising or price alone. It is a complex procedure that requires several clinical visits, in-depth discussions, explanations and careful guidance. We are well equipped to manage and deliver your pre and post-operative care throughout this process.
LASIK can treat a broad range of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism in people who are at least 18 years old, in good general health and have no eye diseases. Only an in-depth examination of your eyes, your individual case, expectations and lifestyle will determine whether LASIK is right for you.
Dry Eye Syndrome or DES is the decline of the quantity and/or quality of the tears produced. DES is one of the most common eye disorders affection approximately 20% of our population. Who is at risk for this condition? Dry eye can affect men and women of any age.
Depending on the intensity of the condition, treatment may be as simple as suing artificial tears a few times a day. In more persistent cases, however, as simple non-surgical procedure is available that provides long-term relief of DES through the use of tiny plugs call "punctual occluders".
In addition, we can direct those who have low vision problems to products that will help them carry on the day-to-day tasks that they need to perform.
In an effort to encourage infant eye and vision assessments and ensure they are accessible to everyone, the American Optometric Association (AOA) and the Vision Care Institute of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., have partnered to create Infant SEE. A no cost public health program, developed to provide professional eye care for infants nationwide. Through Infant SEE, we at the Eye Clinic, will provide a one-time, comprehensive eye assessment to infants in their first year of life, offering early detection of potential eye and vision problems at no cost, regardless of income.
A baby's first visit to an optometrist for an eye assessment should happen between 6 and 12 months of age.
Now there is a comfortable and rapid exam that detects glaucoma before other technologies - the GDxVCC. The GDxVCC evaluates the actual site of damage caused by glaucoma before you experience any vision loss. The GDxVCC is rapid and non-intrusive. There is no pupil dilation or discomfort. You simply lean into the instrument and a safe laser scans the back of the eye and acquires an image.
Digital retinal screening is a technology in which your doctor can take high resolution digital photographs of the interior portion of your eye called the retina. The color photo shows detailed images of the various structures of the retina including the optic nerve, blood vessels, nerve fiber layer and the macula. This technology greatly aids the diagnoses and monitoring of many diseases.
Who should have Retinal Screening?
Diabetic Patients -People with diabetes are at high risk for developing glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy.
Patients with Macular Degeneration - This is caused by the breakdown of the macula (the part of the retina that provides sharp central vision). 90% of the people with AMD have the dry form, which does not usually cause severe vision loss. However, if not detected early, can progress to wet form which is characterized by the abnormal growth of blood vessels that can leak fluid and blood.
Even patients with healthy eyes should be screened to provide a baseline image to help determine if there are changes.

Me Before You Full Movie is a incredible story about Lou Clark (Emilia Clarke) and Will Traynor (Sam Claflin). Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn’t know is she’s about to lose her job or that knowing what’s coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he’s going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of color. And neither of them knows they’re going to change each other for all time.

It’s not unusual for David Rosenbaum to get strange looks when he’s working out at the Lerner Health and Wellness Center, especially when he runs into his interns.
Rosenbaum, a political science major, has been a permanent staff member in the office of Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) for the past four years.
“They would look at me for a second, like ‘Why is this old person here.’ Then I would have to explain that I’m a student too, but I’m on staff,” he said.
Rosenbaum recently ended his stint with Lieberman, having spent half of the time as an intern and half as the senator’s scheduling staff assistant.
In the position, Rosenbaum worked 25 hours a week while maintaining a full coarse load. He also worked full time during the summer and often traveled to Connecticut during Lieberman’s 2006 campaign.
Rosenbaum said the demanding schedule was worth it for the hands-on experience. “The theories you learn in the classroom are reinforced when you see them in the field,” he said.
The graduating senior said he knows he wants to go into politics, but his specific plans are not certain.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the Cabinet Office and the English Cities Fund have celebrated the ground breaking of the new 157,000 sq ft office development, 3 New Bailey, in Salford.
HMRC announced in March 2018 that it would let the entire building on a 25-year lease, in a landmark deal that will see a new regional centre open, with around 2,400 civil servants moving into a state-of-the-art new home by Spring 2022.
The BREEAM ‘Excellent’ building will be situated on New Bailey Street and occupy an unrivalled location for commuters, immediately adjacent to Salford Central station. The 3 New Bailey development will also front a large new area of high-quality public realm.
Prior to work starting on site at 3 New Bailey, the area was extensively excavated by archaeologists from the University of Salford, to unearth the remains of the former New Bailey Prison.
HMRC is transforming its estate to create a tax authority fit for the future. The Manchester Regional Centre is one of 13 regional centre developments located across the UK, which aims to bring its staff together into modern and flexible working environments.
HMRC is leading Phase One of the Government Hubs Programme - the Government Property Agency’s strategy to transform the Government Estate. It aims to drive efficiencies for the taxpayer, boost the UK economy by freeing up much needed land and property, and provide a modern working environment for civil servants.
New Bailey has seen a great deal of activity over recent months and is at a monumental phase of its development with enabling works taking place at 2 New Bailey Square and the imminent start on site, as well as the completion of the second multi-storey NCP car park at the end of 2018. There are also currently four other live projects under construction at New Bailey, which include 3 New Bailey, Riverside House and the third phase of the residential development at The Slate Yard.
The English Cities Fund is a joint venture between Muse Developments, Legal & General and Homes England. JLL and Cushman and Wakefield are joint letting agents for the New Bailey scheme.

My Dead Bunny is my latest book. It’s a tongue-in-cheek picture book about a zombie pet rabbit. My illustrations took a lot of inspiration from movies.
I’ve already written about how one scene was almost an homage to The Shining, how the family home was inspired by a farmhouse from The Walking Dead and how a lot of the images use camera angles and clichés from film.
Today I’m writing about why the illustrations use a black and white (plus green) colour scheme.
Black and white wasn’t the first choice for the colour scheme; originally I was looking at purples and greens. They’re secondary colours, so they don’t tend to have the sunny brightness of primary colours (i.e. yellow, red, blue). When secondary colours are used together they can feel awkward and a little off-putting – but that’s why they were commonly used in horror movie posters in the 50s and 60s. Purple and green were also commonly used in science fiction movie posters from the same period – so when they’re used together now they can have a retro feel (it’s the reason why Buzz Lightyear has the colours scheme he does).
Anyway – back to Dead Bunny. Here’s the first colour scheme test I did, focusing on secondary colours.
I kinda liked it, but the publisher and I agreed it didn’t quite have the right tone. It was still a little cartoony and picture-booky; it needed more of an edge. Amy, the designer, suggested I try more muted colours or even black and white. Luckily I’d been watching old black and white horror movies for inspiration – ones like Frankenstein, The Invisible Man and The Creature From The Black Lagoon.
I’d been looking at a lot of movie posters too. I noticed these Frankenweenie posters- all the characters and background were black and white, but the headings were bright colours. The slimy green worked really well against the grey tones. So I thought, maybe we could go for a black and white scheme plus green.
I tried the new colour scheme idea on the same test image from earlier.
Success – mostly. I don’t remember why I didn’t make the cat green here. The cat is supposed to be a zombie, but without the green it just looks like a normal cat (… except for some exposed bone on his tail).
It became a really useful colour scheme; the black and white harking back to old horror movies, and the slimy green making the zombie rabbit stand out in every scene – while also acting as a shorthand for the reader, telling them very quickly that the rabbit (and cat) are definitely not alive any more.

People with good jobs and nice families make mistakes. Kids who get good grades, parents who coach sports and volunteer their time and educated professionals can all find themselves in Court or in the hands of a police officer. If you or someone you care about is in that position, you want an experienced advocate like Scott on your side.
Traffic tickets and criminal charges can have tremendous costs and change your life. They can make future mistakes even more damaging. But you can fight back and you deserve someone that will fight for you.
Scott Leist has a unique perspective and ability to evaluate a case due to his experience as a former Seattle Police officer and prosecutor. He can evaluate an investigation to see not only what was done, but what wasn’t done.
Scott and his staff know the field and the players. Scott has appeared in dozens of courts in Washington and has dealt with hundreds of prosecutors all over the State as a police officer, prosecutor and now defense attorney.
Scott understands police procedures, having been on the street. He has written tickets that he now defends. He has arrested people for charges that he now fights. There is no substitute for having “been there” when it comes to questioning a police officer or trooper in Court, whether about a criminal charge or a traffic infraction.
What's the difference between a moving and nonmoving violation?
What to know when you get a speeding ticket after the officer does a "pace."
The most professional, knowledgeable man for the job. This guy is for real.

Welcome to the 26th American Cancer Society’s Vintage Affair!
In the year 1913, 15 physicians worked together to found what would become the American Cancer Society. ACS fills a unique need, funding young investigators for new, promising ideas at a crucial time in their careers. Their track record of funding 47 Nobel Prize winners early in their careers demonstrates their ability to identify the best and brightest ideas. Since the ACS research program was established in 1946, it has invested more than $4 billion in cancer research. In Alabama, more than $6.3 million is currently invested in research grants.
Now, more than 100 years later, ACS continues “Attacking from all Angles” and has contributed to a 27% decrease in the overall cancer death rate in the United States since 1991. As you bid generously on auction items tonight, know that you are supporting an organization that has a proven track record of changing what it means to have cancer. Generous donations, tireless volunteers, and persistent research have ensured that cancer is no longer a death sentence.

She was accepted by Harvard. I'm going to stay with Suresh. See the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see. She poured out all that stuff without stopping. We're all very excited. That's the number one priority. You should greet your betters by tipping your hat. This place has unusually large number of subdivisions. You'll do no such thing. A very bright idea came to my mind.
Barbra has been busy all afternoon. Amir usually feels sleepy in the early afternoon. Have you told Christophe about the accident? Please present any requests in writing. It is marvelous that he should have done such a thing. She accompanied her speech with gestures. I'm going to take you to Blaine. Please give me another chance. My mother's friends are my friends. Susan is intelligent, and I expect her to pass the exam easily.
It is not enough to study the language of a foreign country. I was at my best after a good sleep. I want to go into town. Why don't the three of us have lunch together? Jenny could not ignore her parents' desire for her safety. Are we cool yet? I don't think I've ever done that. How can I help you today? How would that inconvenience you? Plastic pretended to be sleepy.
I'll miss you these months. Leila showed Edwin John's picture. To find a job is difficult. The world is just like a book, and every step you take is like turning a page. I could not bring myself to dance with him. Much of what is termed "socially acceptable" behavior consists of arbitrary prejudices or proscriptions with no rhyme or reason. Who are you calling sweet-n-sour?! At the very least I certainly don't remember being sweet! We're a hundred percent behind you. Pratt asked to see me. Can you get it to work?
Kyu doesn't know what that is. Do you sense something unusual? You stole my heart. He is a young man passionate for good design, games, software, art and people. I wouldn't part with that book at any price. His family moved around quite a lot. Is it hard to fool you? Earle was an enthusiastic supporter of the project. Rudy sealed the deal. Sehyo left the restaurant without paying.
This is a bad deal. I'm not sure that it was Panacea who made this. Writers often use a pseudonym. The plane cannot take off until the other plane lands. Forget what I just said. Gunter couldn't figure out how to do it. Those are Alex's dogs. This keyboard is perfect. They asked Manavendra why she was crying. Himawan has a 9-5 office job.
That's cruel. I met two foreigners: a Canadian and a Brit. Will you please come to my party? Ritalynne and Beckie argue a lot, but they still get along quite well together. You don't know Ian as well as you think you do. I followed Suwandi there. I think Nicolette is a student. Moore has gotten so much better. How close to Gideon have you gotten? Sherman and I have no secrets from each other.
She smiled at me as she passed me in the street. No one pays attention to me. We're going to do that right away. Are you back home now? They stayed in Rome till September. There's much room for improvement in this project. He studies economics at university. The library is closing. I just cleaned my room. Srivatsan just wants to party all the time.
Dan is the best in Tatoeba. I really don't want to be alone tonight. Erik is better at French than me. The doctors told Brender that Tal was never going to recover. New factories and industrial centers were built. What's her nationality? They did well on the exercises. I can't make promises. They won't believe you. That wouldn't be a good thing.
I'd like to discuss the following at the meeting. The car that I bought hasn't been delivered to me yet. As a citizen of the world, I know ways of overcoming cultural barriers. Please close the window. Heaven knows we've done everything we can. Can he account for his action? You're only as much as you settle for. We are surprised to see how every creature lives. Take some aspirin. Nobody believed Kevin because all he ever told were tall stories.

WOW it’s been a while since we’ve had an actual blog post here that wasn’t just reblogged stuff, eh? Yeah, sorry about that, but when you’re a news writer and reviewer as well as a college student, a lot of that stuff takes up your energy and time.
But last night, something big enough in pop culture happened that I feel I had to fire up the ol’ blog editor and talk about it here. I speak not of The Colbert Report ending—which I haven’t watched yet–but of The Legend of Korra, the beleaguered spinoff of Avatar: The Last Airbender that ended its four season run by premiering the final two episodes online at midnight last night (it’ll air on Nicktoons Network tonight).
Let’s clear things up first: unlike the vast majority of nerds my age, I didn’t really care for Avatar as a kid. Don’t get me wrong, I thought the world and the concept was interesting, but the show just never clicked with me, even when I was in its target age range. It just seemed too episodic and same-y most of the time. Granted, thanks to the entire show being on Amazon Instant, I’ve come around on it, but it’s still a slog for me to get through at times (near the end of Book 2: Earth as I write this).
It was the stellar first season of Korra that made me want to get back into its predecessor. But at the end of the day, I still prefer Korra over Aang simply because her setting–1920s Shanghai/Beijing with steampunk elements thrown in–are more interesting than globetrotting from Village of the Week to Village of the Week, the comic relief, villains and pacing are all very well done, and Korra as a character is far more interesting and sympathetic–a headstrong and confident teenage girl somewhat cocky about being the most powerful person on the planet who grows, changes and deals with great struggle over the course of the show–then a century-and-change old kid who’s always pacifistic. Not to mention she’s very of-the-moment considering we’re living in an age of female main characters.
Now, Korra has not been without its problems. Let’s be clear. The first season, which I like a lot, is rather rushed in spots. The second season is a couple episodes longer than it needs to be and overstuffed with plot. Zaheer, the villain of the third season, is a huge threat but has his menace undercut by a stiff vocal performance from Henry Rollins (yes, the Black Flag guy).
And throughout, the show’s various romance subplots–which, like it or not, are kind of an essential component of a story about a bunch of young adults–have ranged from believable and heartwarming to really undercooked and awful (I maintain that Mako is very much this series’ equivalent to Jason Biggs’ Larry from Orange Is The New Black). But despite all that, the show still holds together for me because of its largely efficient attitude towards self-contained arcs, its gorgeous animation (yes, even in the Seasn 2 episodes by Studio Pierrot that everyone hates) and its dynamite voice cast (the show won a Daytime Emmy for casting for a reason).
It’s a real shame then that, when given a show as entertaining and kinda groundbreaking (like Avatar, Korra takes place in a world entirely composed of People of Color) as this, Nickelodeon dropped the ball and hard. This wonderful post by Carrie Tupper at The Mary Sue dives into it far better than I can, but even I can tell that yeah, maybe taking your critically acclaimed and beloved show and a.) offering basically no merchandise to support it b.) not promoting it at all and then shunting it online and c.) even going so far as to slash the final season’s budget, forcing the creators to make a clip show that nobody wants just so their people can have work is a pretty gross, awful thing to do.
But to their credit, the show’s creators and production crew have always done the best job they can with the hand they were dealt. Nowhere was that more evident than last night’s two part finale, “Day Of The Colossus/The Last Stand.” In capturing the final battle between Korra (Janet Varney) and the crew and Big Bad Kuvira (Zelda Williams) and her giant mecha suit, the animators of Studio Mir went all out in making things as big, explosive and awesome as they deserve to be.
The writers too–the credited ones are Tim Hedricks and franchise co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino–do their best, giving every one a Big Damn Hero moment and, when all is said and done, providing lovely codas to every character’s personal arcs. Combine this with the cast’s typical top-tier work–in particular, comedian John Michael Higgins as goofball Tony Stark Verrick and anime dub veteran Todd Haberkorn as Kuvira’s fiance-turned-pawn Bataar Jr. deserve awards recognition for their work here and this season as a whole–and you have a damn great series finale.
Okay, so the final minutes of “The Last Stand” in the composition, the dialogue, acting and execution, particularly the last shot, indicate that yes, the long hoped-for romance between Korra and Badass Tony Stark Asami (Seychelle Gabrielle) is in fact canonical. Given that–nominally anyway–this is still children’s television, we don’t actually see them kiss. But literally every single thing about these last scenes indicates that yeah, these two are in love.
Is that awesome? Yes. Is that groundbreaking? Inspiring? HELL YEAH. However stupid it is that the scene’s intent can’t be made more explicit, the fact is that Korrasami–as the shippers have called it–is definitely real and that is a great, bold, powerful statement to make.
Heck, between this and the character of Nathan Seymour being canonically confirmed as transgender in Tiger & Bunny: The Rising, similarly the last thing for its franchise, animation has been really damn progressive so far this decade. Could more steps like this follow? And maybe actually be not restricted by nonsensical guidelines? Let’s hope so.
And we’re back! Exams are over and I am back home in Illinois!
My friend, freshly back from an internship in Kansas City, KS, has been helping me get through the first season of Fringe, knocking another entry off my TV Bucket List. Expect a review of that too!
For those of you that don’t read them funny books, those are, from first to last, Masks #2, Saga #8, Action Comics #13-15, Superman #13-14, Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #12, and Captain America #2. Those are pretty much all the monthly books I buy–well, Superman Family Adventures, too, but I forgot to buy those today–and although there is a comic shop by me, I have yet to check it out. Hence, the splurging.
Oh, that last thing? Well, that’s a trade paperback actually–volume 6 of Chew, which is one of my favorite anythings of anything. That will be reviewed as soon as possible.
Back to TV a second: yesterday, I found series 5 of Doctor Who for $20 on Blu-Ray at Best Buy, so I snatched it up. Tonight, I go to set up my Blu-Ray player to my folks’ semi-new Samsung LCD HDTV so I can watch it…and I realize that I somehow forgot the power cord. Yeah. Bit of a setback, there.
But hey, I still got comics, so that’s what matters.
1. I got an offer to write a TV show review for a magazine published by my college, so that’s cool. More as that develops.
2. The first Presidential debate–as in, the first debate between the two actual candidates, not a bunch of people all vying for ONE nomination–aired/is airing tonight. I’ll be writing my thoughts on that soon.
3. The trailer for Disney’s new Lone Ranger film premiered on The Tonight Show last night (can’t embed it, but it’s available here ) and, well…I’m of two minds.
On the one hand, I’m excited to see how somebody as visually stylish as Gore Verbinski will do with material like this. There’s a bit of nostalgia involved as I remember watching the old TV show as a kid on Saturday afternoons. And the fact that it seems like the railroad will be a big key in this film’s conflict between its heroes and villains is a pretty novel angle.
But on the other hand…I really don’t like how the trailer is SO focused on Johnny Depp as Tonto. I GET he’s a huge star, but if they focus on him so much in the film as they do in the trailer–he’s got top billing, notice, and Armie Hammer as the Ranger doesn’t even get one freaking line–it’s going to be a disaster. I’m eh on Helena Bonham Carter being in it, but then again, I always am. And I get the sense that, story wise, this might turn out at least a little similar to 2009’s Jonah Hex movie, which took perhaps my favorite comic book character of all time, a tough, hard-living bounty hunter…and made him BORING, teaming up with Megan Fox and thrusting him into a half-baked version of what some studio head thinks is a steampunk story. I REALLY hope that doesn’t happen, but the fact that Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio, who wrote the first 2 good Pirates movies, then destroyed the franchise with all their cramming in of world-building in the 3rd one, are credited with the screenplay has me worried.

With the awareness that PR Revolution (https://www.prrevolution.com), a public relations and marketing agency who specializes in the cannabis sector, delivered for Novus at the National Marijuana Business Conference last month, Novus was able to exceed expectations for provider enrollment, connect with new providers and execute agreements with more-than-willing dispensaries and wellness clinics. As a result, Novus MedPlan is now ready to assist patients in more states than ever before.

Individuals and their families can save money on the cost of healthcare-related products and services that are not covered by standard healthcare programs.

All patients have the ability to complete their enrollment online 24 hours a day at https://www.novusmedicalgroup.com.

How to study without writing too many essays | Hate essays?
This entry was posted on October 25, 2010, 5:36 pm and is filed under Exam Essays. You can follow any responses to this entry through RSS 2.0. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
Yes, writing a bullet point essay plan under time pressure is a study method that I have found very useful when studying for exam essays. It definitely saves time compared to writing a whole essay. As an effective “in-between” strategy, I sometimes write one paragraph in full after doing my essay plan. This is also fairly quick, but I’m forced to think about my written expression to a greater extent than when writing a plan only.

"Great company, and some management changes recently have started to make it a much more vibrant company"
Very committed field support and everyone goes above and beyond the customer's needs.
It is a very trusted brand which means the customers you engage with are amazing, and they keep coming back.
If you want to be part of a global leader in media, and innovation for the worldwide live events, this place is building for the future. When you see what some of the innovative thinkers propose internally... It is amazing.
As any company that grew from being small to large, there are still some old staff whom try to keep it small. These people have prevented much of the growth recently. It still suffers from some internal politics and some people whom can't think outside the old managements mind set. It is a shame sometimes to see the innovative new concepts get stifled for the short term views.
Embrace the culture, and focus on all the aspects that impact the front lines. The key is not to change the headquarters, but to fix the distant field offices dysfunctions.
The process took a week. I interviewed at EVS Broadcast Equipment (Fairfield, NJ) in August 2010.
I was brought in through a referral to interview with the company after NAB. The interview was actually fairly brief and did have a great deal of intensity or technical questions. This is probably due to the fact that this industry is fairly close knit and new work is typically done by word of mouth. The interview process consisted of one with the 2 GMs and a separate interview with the technical director. The most surprising thing regarding this experience in retrospect was really how little the GMs asked about my technical knowledge. Their questions really zeroed in on character questions, trust, etc which I can understand but made me feel uncomfortable. There were no questions concerning what-if scenarios for customer situations, systems integration, or commissioning of equipment which is the most important aspect of the job. The subject of the interview at this round really concerned internal company situations which I found truly odd. In retrospect I wish that I was more experienced and was paying attention to what was really being asked as it reflects on the culture of the company.
Throughout the entire interviewing process the negotiation phase was the most unorthodox experience that I have ever personally gone through. Despite that fact that the company stated that they needed a support engineer immediately and was going to present an offer, management really dragged their feet. Although I was told on the spot that I was expected to receive an offer, it took over a month until a concrete offer was made. In retrospect, I believe that this is part of their negotiating strategy to bring the compensation level down. When they finally contacted me with an offer it was conducted by phone. To my surprise, when I asked one of the GMs if I could get the compensation package detailed in writing he got upset and I felt like the offer was going to be rescinded. This is a point in time that I actually regret as I feel that this reflects on the culture of the office.

Dealing with you guys has been a pleasure. Great prices, absolutely great service and communication. We recommend you guys to everybody we meet!
Darlings Tip: Close Pop-In Newborn Nappies now available individually and in prints!
Close Pop-In Newborn Nappies has been added to your basket.
The Close Pop-in Newborn Nappy is an affordable way to bridge the gap between tiny newborn and birth to potty sizing.
Unlike the standard one-size Pop-in, it is specially designed to be used on a tiny or premature baby straight from birth. The front section is contoured to sit below the umbilical cord rather than over it and the nappy itself is much slimmer and intended for the lower wetting, high frequency changing those first few weeks bring… with 10 or more changes a day.
It is still 100% Pop-in with all the same trust and reliability, but with some new materials and new ideas. Unlike its older sibling, the outer wrap can be easily wiped clean and reused if not soiled, leaving you to just switch the soaker over come change time.
The clever double-sided design of the soaker means you can choose: 100% soya, known as vegetable cashmere, or stay dry suede cloth against baby's delicate skin.
Being new to using cloth nappies these have been my favourite nappies to use by far! They are so simple to use from the trim fit to the washing and drying. The prints are cute and we have never had a leak due to the double gussets. I can definitely recommend them!

The service sector remains under pressure. The March Composite Index for the nonmanufacturing sector from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) slipped further to 40.8 from an unrevised February reading of 41.6. Consensus expectations were for a reading of 42.0. For the quarter as a whole, the index edged up to 41.8 from the low of 40.7 during 4Q '08. A level of the ISM index below 50 indicates declining activity. Since the series' inception in 1997 there has been a 48% correlation between the level of the business activity index in the nonmanufacturing sector and the Q/Q change in real GDP for the services and the construction sectors.
Despite the decline in the overall index, the business activity index improved last month. The employment index, however, offset that rise with a decline to near the cycle low. Since the series' inception in 1997 there has been a 56% correlation between the level of the ISM nonmanufacturing employment index and the m/m change in payroll employment in the service-producing plus the construction industries.
Pricing power fell back again after February improvement. Since its inception ten years ago, there has been a 60% correlation between the price index and the q/q change in the GDP services chain price index.
Beginning with the January 2008 Nonmanufacturing Report On Business ®, the composite index is calculated as an indicator of the overall economic condition for the non-manufacturing sector. It is a composite index based on the diffusion indices for four of the indicators (business activity, new orders, employment and supplier deliveries) with equal weights. The latest report from the ISM can be found here.
Credit Market Competition and the Nature of Firms from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is available here.

Among probably the most frequent electrical wiring inquiries is on how to wire a change. Though employing switches in your house is quite quick, wiring one may not be that easy for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. There are different types of switches, but for this example, let us say you might be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly typical switch (and the most straightforward).
There are a few hues of wires in a very usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly.

The white wire serves being a supply of uninterrupted power which is typically related to some light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the green wire to your ground screw within your switch.
These measures would normally be adequate to produce an average switch function without a challenge. Nevertheless, should you are not assured that you just can achieve the activity adequately and securely you greater enable the professionals do it instead. Soon after all, you can find a motive why this job is among the most common electrical wiring thoughts requested by the majority of people.
For many reason, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is usually considered one of one of the most typical electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this task, you should use a single change to get a single ceiling fan. To wire the lover, it can be merely a make any difference of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan to the black wire from the switch. When there is a light, the blue wire ought to be related to the black wire of your switch also.
There are causes why they're one of the most generally questioned electrical wiring issues. 1, a lot of feel it is really uncomplicated to perform, and two, these are the typical electrical responsibilities in your house.

The summer pop culture scene was already haunted by Heath Ledger, and his crackling performance in "The Dark Knight." For some of us, Ledger's work is what rescues the film from collapsing under the weight of its own self-important air of fatalism. And it makes the sadness of Ledger's death even more piercing.
While it might seem an Olympic-sized leap to jump from Ledger's dramatic work to the hilariously gifted Bernie Mac, it's really not. As with Ledger, Mac's sudden death last weekend leaves a sense of incompleteness - he wasn't done yet. Mac, 50, had tremendous appeal, and considerable talent - but it feels like we didn't get a chance to see everything he could do.
And the sadness extends to Mac's upcoming movie, "Soul Men," in which he and Samuel L. Jackson play a long-estranged singing duo who reunite for a concert in honor of a late comrade. As has been widely reported by now, "Soul Men" not only stars Mac, but features Isaac Hayes -- who died suddenly last Sunday -- as himself. Let's hope the movie is worthy of both of them.
Oregon's cool qualities, according to a new book, include our designation of the hazelnut as a state nut.
The waggish satirists from the Web site Yankee Pot Roast have cobbled together a book -- "Underrated: The Yankee Pot Roast Book of Awesome Underappreciated Stuff" (Citadel Press, $12.95, 204 pages). Authors Geoff Wolinetz, Nick Jezarian and Josh Abraham throw down their opinions on the rate-worthiness of everything from George Harrison (underrated) to Paul McCartney (not underrated).
Among the underrated are movies such as "Grosse Pointe Blank" (hear, hear!) and "Gung Ho!"; the TV shows "Good Times," "Futurama" and "Deadwood"; Diet Dr. Pepper; singer Donovan; and our own state, Oregon. Why are we underrated? The authors' examples of our awesomeness include: no sales tax; vote-by-mail; Matt Groening (of both "Simpsons" and "Futurama" fame); Steve Prefontaine; Nike; Wieden + Kennedy; bountiful brewpubs; and designating the hazelnut the state nut ("Who has a state nut? Nobody else. Oregon makes its own rules"). On behalf of the entire state, let me just say, gee thanks, Yankee Pot Roast!
Check out a new DVD set of docs about U.S. presidents -- Teddy Roosevelt would want you to.
Need a breather from the current Presidential race? Craving historical context? PBS Home Video and Paramount Home Entertainment have just the thing: "The Presidents Collection," due out Aug. 26.
Compiled from shows aired on the PBS series, "American Experience," the box set includes documentary profiles of -- get ready -- Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, the Kennedys, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Also included are special features. The Wilson disc, for instance, features mini-documentaries on race relations, women's suffrage, labor issues, a Jacob Riis photo gallery, and more. At a suggested list price of $129.99, it may not be a quickie impulse buy, but just think of the presidential trivia arguments you'll win.

The head of the IAU board of directors and trustees has announced that the MoU with Iraq was only the university’s first step in admitting foreign medical students.
During the Medical Science Transformation Conference in Islamic Azad University, Dr. Aliakbar Velayati stated that the university is ready to cooperate with various countries, such as Iraq and Republic of Azerbaijan, which have similar plans for educating medical students.
The head of IAU board of trustees and directors also mentioned that Iraqi University directors of education signed an academic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in order to promote the country’s medical knowledge level on the platform of training students.
With regards to IAU capacities as a top university, Dr. Velayati explained that due to the lack of teaching hospitals and increasing number of students, IAU can be instrumental in contributing to this educational field.
He emphasized that medical students are dealing with human life and health and that all the rules and criteria of Ministry of Health and Medical Education must be accepted and executed in order to pass the rigorous tests such practice should face.

You are invited to disconnect from your daily stressful environment, check-in your technology and detox from the worries of life. From the moment you arrive you are able to see, feel, hear & smell the tangible raw beauty of the Greater Kruger National Park. This lovely lodge is based around a central lounge, which flows out onto an expansive deck with a sunset view onto the Olifants River and it is accessed via a private transfer departing from Sefapane Lodge in Koper Road, Phalaborwa. The 10-bed lodge is perched on the banks of the Olifants River in a private game reserve, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park. Elephant, Buffalo and Hippo are free-roaming residents around the unfenced lodge and the goal is to further open your eyes to the environment in which these magnificent beasts live. The handpicked team of management and guides are passionate about their life in the bush and would love to share with you their ethical approach to conservation through education. Experienced guides pay attention to the detail of the bush and the rich biodiversity of the area and take time to educate our visitors in a casual setting about ecosystems, the geology hotspots, the birds, the insects, the botany, the animals and the night sky.

If you’ve recently ended an affair or, you’re trying to end an affair, then you’re probably familiar with the pain and emptiness of ‘affair’ withdrawal. What you’re feeling is normal, and the feelings you’re experiencing are very real. But it’s important that you don’t misinterpret the thoughts and feelings that you’re experiencing during this time.
An affair is often a wake-up call. Sometimes it can be a wake-up call to what’s happening (or not happening) in our primary relationship. But mostly, it’s just a wake-up call; a call for us to stop living on auto-pilot. In other words, the affair can be a catalyst that moves us into a new and higher level of operating and ‘being’ in the world, so it’s simply a wake-up to become more – ALIVE.
Think about that for a moment. Isn’t that one of things you loved most about the affair – it made you feel ALIVE? Unfortunately, most people miss the call and become less rather than more conscious, because they get ‘stuck’ in their head, and consequently ‘stuck’ in an emotional current.
People say these things because they were able to integrate the affair (or the betrayal) into ‘one’ of ‘many’ of their life experiences; without letting the affair or the betrayal define them, or become a part of their identity; instead, the affair or the betrayal becomes more like a course they took in a life master class, that was ultimately worth the hefty price they paid to take it.
Ironically, we delay or miss the ‘aha’ moments from our experiences when we hit the pause button on our lives to ‘wait’ for a big, breakthrough moment, where we’ll suddenly have everything all figured out.
Unfortunately, that’s how we get ‘stuck’ in our head and consequently stuck’ in an emotional current – it happens because we hit the pause button. We stop living our lives and instead retreat into our minds to analyze and sort through our feelings. But this only increases our confusion and prolongs our suffering. In addition, we often use our confusion as a scapegoat to keep things the same. For example, in the case of infidelity or an affair, we often use our confusion as an excuse to keep cheating.
In fact, women in limbo usually believe that it’s “okay” to keep cheating on their husbands as long as they’re confused. In other words, being confused somehow makes cheating ‘not count’ in their minds.
It Doesn’t Matter Which Choice You Make, There’s No Way Around The Pain.
It helps when women realize that there’s no way around the pain. It doesn’t matter which choice you make: stay married; get divorced; keep cheating; every choice will involve the experience of painful emotions. But painful emotions aren’t something we need to be afraid of; and the opposite is also true, too. We don’t need to be afraid of letting go of our pain either; and unfortunately, that’s what women are often holding onto during and after affair – the pain. The pain gives the affair MEANING. The pain is what makes the affair so special or significant to women. So women have to be ready to ‘stop’ hurting in order to make it through the withdrawal from an affair. This, however, can be incredibly difficult for women, because women not only equate love with longing – they enjoy longing. In fact, that’s one of the main appeals of an affair for women – it’s all the feelings of love, without, well, anything else.
If you haven’t read the Women’s Infidelity books, that’s where you need to start. You’ll learn why it’s so hard for women to end and get over their affairs.

Even those who previously had a high credit score and made a point of paying debts on time can suffer setbacks which land them in trouble financially. At the office of Karen E. Evangelista, P.C., we know how unexpected circumstances can come up, leaving you behind in making payments.
Unfortunately, debt collection agencies have one job, and that is to harass you into paying, often by any means possible. For over 30 years, our Warren, Michigan bankruptcy attorney has guided residents of Macomb County in these situations, helping them get the fresh start they need to get back on track financially.
It is important to realize that you are not alone when struggling with debts, and that there are services available to help you. Through the United States Courts, bankruptcy is a tool to help honest debtors get back on their feet, after failed business ventures, job losses, or injuries and illnesses threaten their financial security.
Harassment from credit collection agencies, and further damage to your credit score.
One of the myths about bankruptcy is that it will do irreparable damage to your credit rating. The fact is, dealing with the situation by filing for bankruptcy is generally preferable than allowing your debts to go unpaid.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: This involves liquidating assets to settle certain debts, while others are discharged or eliminated by the court.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: This involves a reorganization of debts for business owners, allowing them to remain in business and make payments to creditors.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: This allows individuals with steady income and businesses to renegotiate payments on belongings, such as homes and cars, while having other debts discharged.
At the office of Karen E. Evangelista, P.C., we can help you determine which option is best for your situation. Call or contact our Warren bankruptcy attorney online to request a free consultation today.

It's not easy being the daddy in the house that Miley Cyrus built, according to Billy Ray Cyrus, who says that if he had it to do over, the star-making "Hannah Montana" would never have happened.
"I'd erase it all in a second if I could," he told GQ magazine.
"I'll tell you right now -- the damn show destroyed my family. And I sit there and go, 'Yeah, you know what? Some gave all.' It is my motto, and guess what? I have to eat that one. I some-gave-all'd it all right. I some-gave-all'd it while everybody else was going to the bank. It's all sad."
The interview sketches out a familiar pattern disturbingly similar to an early Lindsay/Dina/Michael Lohan construct.
Cyrus filed for divorce from Tish, his wife of 17 years, in October.
"For my family to be here and just be everybody OK, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic."
At the time of the December interview, Billy Ray said he hadn't yet spoken to his 18-year-old daughter since video had surfaced, days earlier, of her taking a bong hit of salvia. It was the capstone in a streak of troubling behavior from his superstar spawn -- some of which he was criticized for, for not having handled things differently as a parent.
"You know, it seems at this point there's not a lot that I can say she doesn't already know," Cyrus said. "And of course I've sent her the texts of 'I'm here if you need me,' 'Always still love you,' those kind of things ... who knows?
"Maybe she knows exactly what she's doing."
Does Billy Ray know what he's doing? Tell us in the comments section below.
For the record, 10 a.m. Feb. 16: This post originally said that Billy Ray Cyrus had not spoken to Miley Cyrus since video surfaced of her smoking a bong. At the time the interview was conducted, in December, only a few days had passed since the incident, and they hadn't yet spoken. The two have spent time together since then. Thanks to commenter @Chris for bringing that to our attention.

We are all trained to prepare a plane for landing. Generically, this includes the reduction of power to provoke descent, extension of flaps as called for in the Pilots Operations Handbook or POH, and extending the landing gear on those planes with retractable gear, before we make a safe landing. However, there are times when the use of full flaps isn’t necessary, and by knowing when these cases arise, you will be better able to handle them.
As we explained last time, flaps can help your plane to slow down and also allow the aircraft to make a steeper descent without an increase in airspeed. A slower approach means you have less energy to absorb in the landing and by your brakes as you transition from flight to ground operations.
THERE ARE TIMES THAT LARGER ISN’T NECESSARILY BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO FLAPS. Specifically, if there are heavy headwinds, or gusty crosswinds, having all your flaps hanging out there can actually give you more trouble than they save you on landing. For the Beech Bonanza for example, the first 10 degrees of flap operation make the wing bigger. The next 20 degrees (for the earlier models) really increases drag more than anything else. For the purists out there, yes, they also make the wing a little larger. This means for the Bonanza line, in gusty winds and wild headwinds, you need only extend 10 degrees of flaps and get most of the low speed performance and “bang for your buck” that you need to land safely. Besides, with any luck, the winds will be down the runway and your speed over the ground will be slow enough without flaps.
DON’T FORGET THAT THERE ARE RIGHT AND WRONG FLAP SETTINGS FOR PARTICULAR ENVIRONMENTS. Many planes have provisions to extend 10 degrees of flaps or more to improve takeoff performance. Remember – more flaps = more lift and more drag – so on takeoff, more flaps isn’t always better – it can actually be WORSE! Keep your head in the game and know your POH flap limits. Better yet, develop an understanding of why the handbook calls for those limits. Ask an instructor or contact a type club for the aircraft models you fly.
Your flaps fail to extend fully, and you aren’t sure what the effect is.
You have to land in a headwind of 50 knots, and by dropping your flaps (and speed) you drop your approach speed to 15 knots!
The turbulence has already turned your passengers green, and lunch is on the way for an encore performance!
The turbulence is so bad, that it has turned YOU green, and putting the flaps down is only going to make the rock-and-roll worse.
THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN FULL FLAPS ARE TOO MUCH. Knowing how much of your flaps you need to extend on a routine basis is an important part of being a pilot. You can find much of this information in your POH, but if it isn’t available there, spending some time with an instructor and reviewing the right procedures for flap use can make a big difference in your ability to fly with the flaps in varying degrees of extension.
THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN YOUR FLAPS DON’T EXTEND FULLY. By working now to understand the effects, techniques and requirements for your flaps, you will be better prepared to deal with them when Murphy takes the right seat and plays hob with the normal routine. While this may put you slightly outside of the POH, knowing what to do when stuff happens will assure that you can get to the ground when you need to, instead of waiting for a revision!

1 So Why 18650 Flashlight?
There may be a lot of 18650 flashlights in the market today, but you need to make sure that there are certain qualities that your 18650 flashlight needs to have for it to become a reliable one. Some people tend to look at the price without even looking at the quality of the Flashlight. The reason behind this is because they believe that every flashlight is the same and their difference is just the price. But did you know that not all 18650 flashlights are the same? Well, you’re about to find out the top 10 best 18650 flashlights that are available today.
So you might be wondering as to why choose 18650 flashlights since there are a lot of other batteries out there. One of the reasons would be it is a reliable Li-Ion rechargeable battery. All you have to do is to have a good connection, and you will surely be able to charge your flashlight effectively. Another good thing about a 18650 flashlight is that it is more powerful than four double A batteries due to the higher voltage that it has. 18650 can provide 3.7 volts, which can give you three times the watt-hours amount.
Another reason why you should use 18650 flashlights is that it has the same lifespan as two CR123A batteries. It also has a high capacity size ratio, and as well as a high capacity and a high discharge rate, which makes 18650 a superior battery.
Of course, the first thing that you need to do is to check the type of beam that the flashlight has. The type of beam will depend on the applications where you plan on using the flashlight. You have the option to choose something with an adjustable mode, or a flood or a spot beam. Always remember that you need to base the application fo the flashlight when considering the beam.
Another thing that you need to consider is the run time of the flashlight that you want. You surely don’t want something that will have to be often recharged. Always remember that the runtime of the battery will depend on the brightness that the flashlight can produce. So if you want a longer run time, it would be best to choose a flashlight that has different modes.

Apparently, a Twitter account – @evleaks in particular, recently unveiled the alleged code name of what could very well be a future Nokia handset, with the name being a rather wise sounding Nokia Guru. I sure as heck hope that one does not need to climb mountains as well as sleep on a bed of nails in order to qualify for the purchase of the Nokia Guru! Unfortunately, that is about all we know of the Nokia Guru, other than the fact that the Twitter account also mentioned that NFC plus iPod Shuffle equal to Nokia Guru.
Now, how are we to interpret such data? Based on the analysis, it seems that there is a very good chance that the Nokia Guru could very well end up as a portable music player that will feature NFC capability. Who knows, the NFC feature could very well be the bridge that will pave the way for the transfer of songs. Alternatively, the Nokia Guru might be another Windows Phone 8-powered smartphone which will place a strong emphasis on music – just like how Nokia did all those years ago with the introduction of the Nokia Xpress Music. Well, as with the case of all other rumors and speculation, only time will be able to tell whether it is going to pan out true or not.

Master Landscapes commonly use ethically sourced natural stone products as they are both hard wearing and can really complement the other features of the garden.

#65: What the heck is Pfand?
The German Pfand (pronounced “FUND”) system is a logistical marvel and newcomers nightmare.
Whenever you buy a drink, such as a bottle of cola, water, or beer you will pay a small deposit on the actual bottle or can each time. It’s commonly either €0.08 or €0.25 added to the listed price of your drink. Once you return the bottles to a machine like the one above, you get a little receipt for the value of your returned bottles to spend in the store, in my case normally on more beer.
It is not just limited to shops though, in many bars that have outdoor seating and festivals you will also pay a Pfand on your glasses, sometimes this is up to 3 euros per glass, returned to you when you return them. No matter how many times you visit a wine stand, it’s highly likely you will forget about this, clutching a €10 note for your two €5 glasses of wine only be told (in German that you probably don’t understand) that your order costs €14 because you have forgotten to add Pfand again!
Not only is this system a necessity for Germany to have any hope of meeting their environmental targets (it would be a lot of discarded plastic otherwise) it also encourages you to recycle. Given the amount of bottled water you will have to buy living in Germany the pfand will soon add up.
Because every bottle is worth a few cents, recycling also encourages cleaner streets. Many homeless (and sometimes not homeless people) will root through rubbish bins in the streets and on trains looking for discarded bottles and cans, to return in exchange for cash. Some rubbish bins even have holders on the outside of the bin to make it easier to collect.
Whilst overall it is an inconvenience to haul these returns around, my favourite part about it is, returning a shedload of bottles and getting enough Pfand back to cover the cost of my next crate of delicious German beer, it literally feels like free beer!

Pumpkins symbolize the fall season. We celebrate with pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie but you haven’t tasted fall until you’ve dipped your spoon into this creamy pumpkin soup!
It starts off with fresh roasted pumpkin. You may have one sitting on your doorstep, or decoratively placed on you kitchen counter. I recommend using Sugar Pie Pumpkins or any other small darker fleshed varieties. The smaller the pumpkin the sweeter the taste, they are also easier to slice and bake.
I used a food processor to puree the baked pumpkin. You can skip this step and manually mash because you will be blending the soup once all of the ingredients are combined. I prefer a smoother consistency and the process made it much easier to later mix and blend.
My hungry taste testers were pleased with the bits of buttery onions that didn’t blend in completely. They called them little surprises. so don’t worry if your hand blender doesn’t get every little bit! This soup will make you smile, sink your taste buds into the season and make you feel warm and cozy inside!
You haven’t had the true experience of fall until you’ve dipped your spoon into this creamy pumpkin soup! Don’t skip out on roasting the fresh pumpkin; it’s the only way to taste the real flavor!
Melt butter in a large cast iron or other large pot on medium-high heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt; sauté until very tender, about 7-10 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute longer. Add nutmeg and cinnamon and sauté until incorporated. Add chicken broth, milk, heavy whipping cream, mashed pumpkin and stir. Partially cover and bring to a light boil. Remove from heat and puree mixture with hand blender until smooth. Bring soup back to a low simmer. Stir in brown sugar, salt and pepper. Soup should be slightly thick, add additional chicken broth and simmer for a thinner consistency if preferred.
*To bake pumpkins, remove tops and scoop out seeds and stringy pulp. Slice pumpkins into quarters and place on a large foiled baking sheet. Bake in the center of the oven at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until very tender. Cool, scoop out flesh and mash. For a smoother consistency, puree in a food processor.
*Sugar Pie Pumpkins recommended for a sweeter flavor.
