Bali has so many options when it comes to yoga retreats.
And what a place to get away and do yoga.
The land and the people are beautiful.
The temples and smoking incense offerings on the sidewalks remind of Hindu beliefs, their respect and kindness.
Their connection to spirit makes it a great place to spend some time.
The variety of retreat resorts and locations in Bali make it a place you can come back to again and again.
Ubud, in the center of the island is the yoga hub of Bali.
A yoga retreat in Ubud is a dream, surrounded by rainforest and rice paddy fields dotted with shrines & temples.
With health shops and vegan cafes everywhere, and also an alternative therapy heaven.
Make time to visit the Tirta Empul in Bali. Purify the body & soul in the spring water here which is considered holy.
Next on the list must be yoga in Canggu.
Built up from a tiny village to be a favourite traveler hang-out.
Its convenient as its near the main tourist areas of Bali but far enough away to have a different vibe.
You will find yoga classes and like-minded travelers everywhere.
Yoga and meditation, with all types of yoga styles are practiced here in the open-air shalas at the many retreat centers.
Yoga and Bali go together like the Bow and Child's Yoga Poses.
It's huge. There is so much going on in the way of retreats, yoga schools and yoga workshops.
One thing that's good to know is that there is a real trend here for Yoga Hotels.
This means you get the comfort and environment of a lovely hotel with retreat activities thrown in.
There are a whole range of centers to choose from in Bali.
Bali does retreats so well and it is most well known for its mid to high venues.
But don't think that you can't find affordable and comfortable retreat centers where you can practice
yoga daily and immerse yourself in your meditation. And it doesn't just stop here either.
Retreat programs combine yoga with activities like detox, fitness, healthy eating, spa and massage.
Because its a yoga mecca everything is set up to make it work for you.
Health food vegan cafes, cheap & wonderful massage, alternative therapies, detox, complete spa services.
Everything is on offer at Bali retreats.
All retreat centers offer vegan, vegetarian and raw food menus.
And there is sure to be a cold pressed juice bar open all day.
Try out some raw food inventions. Bali is very creative in it's food.
Bali dry and high season is June until August.
May to October see some of the best waves too.
Bali can be very busy in the high season and moving around and enjoying places can be difficult.
Consider before and after, April & May and September & October.
Costs vary like with everything.
Depending on the retreat, package, accommodation and location.
Bali isn't the cheapest place to go to but it doesn't have to break the bank either. All types of yogis hang out here.
Bagus Lovina

They seem to cover all the activities & programs that are available in the wider retreat market.

Partners are very responsive here and will provide great information to help you make a decision. So if you are considering attending a Bali yoga retreat this week or next then send an inquiry on the retreat that interests you most.
If you are looking at booking in high season in Bali (June-August) then it is advisable to plan and book your retreat well in advance to avoid disappointment.
The island can get very busy at this time of year. In fact the traffic and crowds can make it frustrating.
It is worthwhile considering visiting just outside of high season when there is not much rain to speak of and the crowds are at home.
Maybe April & May or September & October. It should work out significantly cheaper too.

Jennifer Lawrence poses pretty in new Dior ads
Haley Blum
Jennifer Lawrence is back on Dior duty.
The American Hustle star, known for her quirky, red carpet antics and filter-free interview style, looks graceful and glamorous in her third ad campaign for the French fashion brand.
In photos taken by photographer Patrick Demarchelier, Lawrence poses in neutral-toned makeup and wind-swept short hair, holding Dior handbags with chain-like straps.
Expect to see more JLaw/Dior collaborations in the future, too — she re-upped her deal with the fashion house for an additional three years and $15 million, according to E! News.
Lawrence, who won the Best Actress Oscar last year for Silver Linings Playbook, is up for Best Supporting Actress this year. She'll be wearing Dior on the red carpet, of course.

I was going to start this post by saying that I am not a huge fan of spinach, but that's not 100% true. If this website was called into evidence, it would obviously reveal that I do like spinach salad covered in warm bacon dressing. I mean, duh. Also, I don't think they let you even HAVE a blog these days if you don't have a recipe for a green smoothie that you endorse, so there is always that. I finally developed a taste for warm spinach in a breakfast casserole and then I branched out to eating it in a dinner appropriate egg dish that, while delicious, is ugly as sin.
(Oh man, Joe's Special is just so darn ugly. But you all, it has helped me embrace TWO ingredients I don't normally love – spinach AND mushrooms. WHAT? I'm convinced it's a Miracle Food. A really ugly Miracle Food.)
Anyway, the fact is though, my brain always defaults to thinking about how I can "hide" the spinach. Maybe you can love a side dish of sauteed spinach, but I have to be honest, it makes me feel like I'm eating wilted grass. I just can. not. abide. So I hide! And now I've made a spinach poem. We may be at an all time low here, you all. If you are a hider too (no need to be a poet) here are my 5 favorite ways to get some spinach in your meal without it having to be the main act:
1. Stuff It In A Muffin
Meat and Spinach Muffins (from The Clothes Make The Girl)
This recipe is a gem (as is Mel's cookbook Well Fed) and I love the novelty of having a muffin that isn't overly eggy and is packed with a protein/veggie punch.
2. Add It To A Soup
Paleo Stracciatella (from Goddess Lifestyle Plan)
Recently my mom made me a batch of chicken soup and she just happened to throw in spinach because she had some…BRILLIANT! This led me down a rabbit hold of spinach-type soups and I found this recipe for Paleo Stracciatella which looks delicious!
3. Prep A New Pesto
Lemon Thyme Chive Spinach Pesto (from Caveman Connoisseur)
Such a versatile and verdant little change up, right? I can't wait to try this. I may substitute something for the pecorino, or find some raw parmesan, but regardless this will be making its way on to my menu soon.
4. Change Up Your Chimichurri
Grilled Skirt Steak with Spinach Chimichurri (from Cooking In Red Socks)
Grilling season is right around the corner and Chimichurri is one of my favorite toppers for grilled meat and vegetables. How about getting creative and working in some greens?
5. Mix It Into A Burger
Turkey Spanikopita Burgers (from Tastebook)
This is in pretty regular rotation at our house, sometimes with raw feta, sometimes without and let me tell you it is delicious either way! Definitely worth trying, and if you serve it over a bed of raw spinach: EXTRA CREDIT! 🙂
What's your favorite way to hide spinach? Have a good recipe? Don't forget to share!

News report from The Onion...
NEW YORK—For the fifth straight year, Jordan McCabe will return home for the holidays and spend the night before Thanksgiving running into every smug and unlikable asshole he ever went to high school with, the 26-year-old reported Monday.
The trip back home, scheduled for later this week, will reportedly bring McCabe face-to-face with an endless string of pricks from his past, each of whom he will have to engage in awkward conversation, and generally pretend to be happy about seeing again.
"They're all going to be there," said McCabe, purchasing an Amtrak train ticket for Rochester, NY. "Every last one of them, just as shitty and conceited and phony as ever."
"I can't believe I'm going to see all those assholes again," McCabe continued.
Though he will initially intend to stay at home with his parents, grandparents, and other relatives, McCabe told reporters that after spending approximately five hours in their company, he will grow antsy, borrow his father's car, and drive to nearby Marleybone Pub. There, McCabe expects to bump into at least five insufferable assholes in the first three minutes.
"Guaranteed Ricky Cook will be there," said McCabe, adding that there isn't much else to do in his hometown. "And probably Vanessa Torres, and that dickhead Michael Schmidt. Yeah, Schimdt will definitely be there. Probably be hammered, too."
At Marleybone, McCabe will be required to partake in a number of unpleasant activities, including making small talk with several assholes who used to openly mock him during high school, and reminiscing about the "good old days" of which he was never a part. While the consumption of alcohol will initially make the evening more tolerable, McCabe is ultimately expected to leave the bar after realizing he has just as little in common with all these assholes as he did when he was 15.
"Katie Reynolds will probably come up and give me a big hug like we're the best of friends, even though she never once talked to me during school, and pretty much acted like I was invisible the whole time," McCabe said. "Boy, I can't wait to hug that bitch again."
After leaving Marleybone, the 26-year-old predicts he will patronize Bud Murphy's Tavern, a favorite haunt for locals, where an even greater number of assholes are expected to congregate in even higher densities.
Assholes such as Craig Horble, Kyle Davis, Vinny Iagosa, Brittany Pipitone, Justin Smigowski, Nick Casey, and Nick's asshole brother, Dennis.
According to McCabe, all the assholes in attendance will look the same except for being 10 to 20 pounds heavier, and possibly sporting a new beard or goatee. However, that same old shit-eating grin will still be on all their faces, McCabe reported.
If previous years are any indication, assholes who live in the area will not be the only ones out the night before Thanksgiving. Like McCabe, who since graduation has moved to New York, many Marshall High School alumni are expected to return from their new homes all across the country.
"I bet Bill Harding is going to show up and talk about his big lawyer job in San Francisco," McCabe said. "I can see it now: 'You know, hours are a real bitch. Money's good, though.' I've known that guy since fifth grade. He's always been an asshole."
Early reports indicate that the mingling of assholes will likely trigger a fight between the hours of 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., with a scuffle expected moments after two giant assholes argue over who rushed for more touchdowns during senior year. McCabe said that he usually tries to avoid any involvement in these fights, but nonetheless anticipates an elbow to his forehead or at the very least a spilled drink on his pants.
"[Wayne] Maldonado just loves to run his mouth, especially when it comes to talking shit about people's girlfriends," McCabe continued. "He used to be kind of scary when we were all in school, but the guy is almost 30 now. I feel kind of bad for him."
Though he remains anxious about the inevitable fracas, McCabe explained that those experiences are usually counterbalanced with more pleasurable events, such as finding out which assholes now have kids.
"I heard Marissa Feely got knocked up this year," he said. "What is that? The third time?"
The 26-year-old is not the only one dreading the upcoming week. Several Marshall High School alumni have expressed similar misgivings about running into former classmates on the night before Thanksgiving.
"I can't believe McCabe is coming back," said local resident Ricky Cook. "That guy's such a fuckin' asshole."

Review Roundup (11/26): LES MISERABLES Movie
Christmas can't get here fast enough, because that's when LES MISERABLES hits the big screen. Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year.
Helmed by The King's Speech's Academy Award-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar® winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Journalists who attended the first screening could not yet 'review' the film, but were allowed to reveal their general reactions. Check them out below!
Scott Feinberg, Hollywood Reporter: Whether or not the use of actors' live on-set singing (as opposed to re-recording it in post-production) actually enhances the believability of a film more than it compromises the quality of the music, audiences seem to have been sold on the former, thanks in large part to Universal's recent featurette about the practice. Moreover, any "first" makes for a great talking-point on the awards season campaign trail. (Incidentally, all of the musical numbers were also shot in close-up and uninterrupted takes.)
Steve Zeitchik, LA Times: There will be plenty of review takes later, so suffice to say that in-between the movie offers some rousing emotion and vivid set pieces, uneven pacing and the sight of Russell Crowe singing. (He's fine as the law-enforcing Javert but, like Hugh Jackman's Jean Valjean and the other males in the cast, pales next to the women, Amanda Seyfried's Cosette and particularly Anne Hathaway's Fantine, whose single-take, close-up "I Dreamed a Dream" is bound to bring down multiplexes and land her on Oscar ballots.) Other Kleenex-producing musical numbers include the large-scale "Do You Hear The People Sing?," offered in reprise later in the film. (Samantha Barks' "On My Own" did not have the same effect on this reporter; others may disagree.)
Mike Ryan, Huffington Post: I will say, as a complete novice to the world of Les Miz (I've decided to go with Les Miz, by the way), I thought the film was wonderful and found myself momentarily confused only a handful of times. (This is arguably my fault for being easily confusable.) My personal favorite movie this year is still Argo, but after seeing Les Miz, my gut is telling me that it will beat both Argo and Lincoln for Best Picture. And the talk you may or may not have heard about Anne Hathaway being a shoo-in for Best Supporting Actress as Fantine is true. (Though, again, not knowing anything about Les Miz, I was honestly shocked by how little she is in this movie.)
Tom O'Neil, Gold Derby: Reviews are embargoed until Dec. 11 so it's tricky to discuss the film, but here goes. The audience flipped for it. It's (nearly) everything that "Les Miz" nuts hoped for. Eddie Redmayne is the big surprise. His performance wows and, yikes, who knew he could sing like that? Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter try to steal the film -- and the contents of every pocket in 19th-century Paris. But Carter can't win. Anne Hathaway has Best Supporting Actress in the bag and Hugh Jackman poses a serious threat to Daniel Day-Lewis' dominion over Best Actor.

For at least the second time now, Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger has posed in trendy magazines bearing a Nazi-issue 'deathshead' belt buckle.
Arnold, the son of a high ranking officer in the Austrian Nazi Party, first made waves with the belt-buckle when he posed with Mayor Bloomberg on the cover of TIME (June 21, 2007).Now, Esquire has written a glowing– if not worshipful– piece on the Austrian-born Arnold as governor (transforming into a stately god?) that proclaims him the "president of 12% of us" while he grandstands in various poses with his cigar, the Nazi deathshead belt buckle and also a chair decorated with eagles.
This is anything but the first time propaganda has pushed the image of Arnold as President– not only was a full-bore campaign launched to convince the subjects of the U.S. to "amend for Arnold" circa 2004, but the 2008 GOP debates featured at least two canned questions where candidates were asked to 'look Arnold in the eye' and tell whether or not they would change the Constitution to acquiesce to Arnold's thirst for power (McCain and Huckabee didn't seem to mind). Even in 1993, the film 'Demolition Man' features a scenario where the Constitution is amended and Schwarzenegger becomes President.

UA Learning Technology External Review
Learning Technology Forums
April 1, 2012
The Office of Information Technology is working on developing a plan for the future use of technology to facilitate teaching and learning. We are interested in the experiences of students and faculty and the importance they place on a variety of technologies for teaching, learning and personal productivity.
This March we will hold a series of IT forums with faculty and students. These sessions will seek input on the future direction of this kind of technology within the UA system.

Student and Faculty Surveys
In December we surveyed UA faculty and students on their current use of teaching and learning technology and on their opinions about the best way to use this technology in the future. We used two survey instruments -- one for faculty and one for students. The student survey instrument is very similar to one that has been used by the Educause Center for Applied Research (ECAR) in a large national survey. Use of this instrument will allow us to compare UA results with ECAR's national results. The faculty survey instrument, on the other hand, has been developed specifically for use by UA faculty. You can find survey results here:

Brace yourself! Tonight man's best friend takes on man's favorite apocalyptic monster, zombies!
Indidente is your classic cameraman POV zombie flick. A pack of journalists sneak into a mysterious building to uncover the truth, yada yada yada, they all die. At least that's what we're expecting. That being said, we love the zombie make-up photos that were recently released. It's got a good look to it (see the below gallery).
A Special Division police member finds videotape in the form of an unfinished documentary featuring material of a very dark and strange nature. Years ago in the Nacan's Factory, an employee killed 16 workers and finally himself. Investigating police could find no logical explanation for the events and the case was filed as "Incident" (a designation that police use for cases with no solution, offering no reasonable explanation). Today cameraman Christian and journalist Romina, along with a crime specialist and a priest, will enter the building to document what really happened that day.This is the tape of what they discovered.
Via Undead Back Brain
Play Dead
This latest Kickstarter-funded movie sold us with this tagline, "Homeward Bound meets a zombie apocalypse." Yes, one-thousand times, yes. Thank you, Play Dead. Go give this film money right now. (If you give over $2,000 to the project the producers will reenact the entire Resident Evil franchise dressed as dogs, someone make them do this).
A zombie apocalypse unites a ragtag pack of dogs in the ruined streets of Miami. Immune to the epidemic, they must stick together to survive in the midst of ferocious undead and human survivors. Sit. Stay. Play dead...
Bobby Yeah
Written and directed by Robert Morgan, the 20-minute short Bobby Yeah makes us uncomfortable. But then again a giant stop-motion worm pet with a giant red button glued to its side should make anyone uncomfortable. Still, from what we've seen from this trailer, it appears to be quite gorgeously gory.
Bobby Yeah is a petty thug who lightens his miserable existence by brawling and stealing stuff. One day, he steals the favourite pet of some very dangerous individuals, and finds himself in deep trouble. He really should learn, but he just can't help it.

Oracle releases VirtualBox 3.2
With the Sun now set, Oracle has released VirtualBox 3.2 finally 🙂 In particular some lovely optimisations for the newer Intel Core i5/i7 processors, Large Page support (which helps significantly on Windows x64 and Linux) as well as a very welcome optimisation on the networking in VirtualBox as well as multi-monitor support for Windows Guests. Whats more RDP sessions are now accelerated (VRDP).
Amongst the changes from the changelog:
This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:
- Following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle Corporation, the product is now called Oracle VM VirtualBox and all references were changed without impacting compatibility
- Experimental support for Mac OS X guests (see the manual for more information)
- Memory ballooning to dynamically in- or decrease the amount of RAM used by a VM (64-bit hosts only) (see the manual for more information)
- Page Fusion automatically de-duplicates RAM when running similar VMs thereby increasing capacity. Currently supported for Windows guests on 64-bit hosts (see the manual for more information)
- CPU hot-plugging for Linux (hot-add and hot-remove) and certain Windows guests (hot-add only) (see the manual for more information)
- New Hypervisor features: with both VT-x/AMD-V on 64-bit hosts, using large pages can improve performance (see the manual for more information); also, on VT-x, unrestricted guest execution is now supported (if nested paging is enabled with VT-x, real mode and protected mode without paging code runs faster, which mainly speeds up guest OS booting)
- Support for deleting snapshots while the VM is running
- Support for multi-monitor guest setups in the GUI for Windows guests (see the manual for more information)
- USB tablet/keyboard emulation for improved user experience if no Guest Additions are available (see the manual for more information).
- LsiLogic SAS controller emulation (see the manual for more information)
- RDP video acceleration (see the manual for more information)
- NAT engine configuration via API and VBoxManage
- Use of host I/O cache is now configurable (see the manual for more information)
- Guest Additions: added support for executing guest applications from the host system (replaces the automatic system presimparation feature; see the manual for more information)
Download from VirtualBox or get the Windows build. I'm really hoping the good Oracle keeps VirtualBox open, this is one kickass bit of kit.

NOW: Meetings in the Present Continuous
NOW is a working platform that will take place at the CCCB from 2006 to 2009. The project reflects on the present on the basis of the scientific, technological, artistic, social and spiritual transformations taking place at the start of the 21st century — because today it is no longer possible to explain art and culture without interiorizing scientific concepts and working with a systemic view of the world.
NOW is a process of research, creation and diffusion bringing together different local and international agents involved in promoting a change of paradigm in the information and knowledge society and in globalized cultures
as most of you know, the tank is a nonprofit performing arts space in lower manhattan. we believe in maintaining a space for artists in manhattan where they can perform and explore without feeling the financial pressures that manhattan increasingly brings.
We have been in our new home in Tribeca with Collective:Unconscious for almost a year now (!) and it is so nice to not be writing you all on a weekly basis telling you we are losing our home, like we had to do for the first few years of existence.
However, we are still struggling to get by in the big city. But we dont plan on staying that way! oh no.
To that end, we are proud to be launching our Freedom of Expression Campaign. The goal is to raise $100,000 over the next few months to help us secure our somewhat tenuous foothold on the big apple, increase and stabilize our administrative staff, and continue bringing you fantastic, affordable programming for the years to come.
we have secured a few amazing patrons who are collectively willing to donate $65,000 IF (and yes, this here is THE RUB) IF we are able to get 1,000 additional individual donations. Thats right, if 1,000 of our friends, artists, and loved ones donate even $12 to the tank this year, then these donors will unlock the $65,000 they have pledged and we will reach our goal. they want to see that we are loved. can you show them we are loved? yes, you can!
But 1000 people is a lot. ive only got like 14 myspace friends and that includes Tom, so thats just not gonna cut it.
so weve got a website. you can go there now and donate any amount of money, become a tank member, get some free stuff in exchange, and generally know youve done your part in securing the future of a place you care about.
READY? Just do it right now while you're thinking about it. Think how good it will feel!! IT WILL FEEL GREAT!
Thanks folks. and if the tank is a place you care about or has been good to you, please consider spreading the word and letting people know...stick it on your blog or your myspace page or whatever. Thanks Thanks Thanks!
Tonight and Tomorrow Night (thats wed 11/15 and thurs 11/16) we are having happy hour / mixer events in our basement lounge. cheap booze and lots of good people. come after work and say hey. also a convenient place/time to donate in person if you'd rather give cash...

Re: Re: thoughts on Appropriation versus Sampling
yes, i agree...
I really don't have a simple thought that doesn't involve appropriation or sampling on some level. your painting and the photograph involve both but are different resolutions. Refusing that doesn't have to be a generational thing, as in when you were born or what sort of music you have been exposed to. Being able to accept it may be a bent of mind that is reinforced from being creative with a computer though, i hope so, but unfortunately the person suing you hasn't been bitten by that yet.

PepsiCo to take controversial ingredient out of Gatorade
Responding to consumer concerns, PepsiCo today announced that it will remove brominated vegetable oil, an emulsifier, from citrus-flavored Gatorade.
Mississippi teenager Sarah Kavanagh had launched an online petition in November that drew recent media attention, including a story in the Chicago Tribune on Monday, but the company said the reformulation project was sparked by earlier customer complaints.
"While our products are safe, we are making this change because we know that some consumers have a negative perception of BVO in Gatorade, despite being permitted for use in North American and Latin American countries," Gatorade spokeswoman Molly Carter said in a statement. "As part of this process, we began working on an alternative ingredient to BVO for the few Gatorade flavors that contain BVO more than a year ago."
Some countries, including those in the European Union and Japan, do not allow the use of brominated vegetable oil in food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's last review of the chemical, conducted in the 1970s, called for more toxicological testing that was never performed.
Kavanagh, whose petition noted that the chemical shares an ingredient, bromine, with some flame retardants, was ecstatic when she heard the news.
"When I went to Change.org to start my petition, I thought it might get a lot of support because no one wants to gulp down flame retardant, especially from a drink they associate with being healthy," she said. "But with Gatorade being as big as they are, sometimes it was hard to know if we'd ever win. This is so, so awesome."
In an interview, Carter said the company needed a year to make sure the new formulation "would not affect taste or functionality. So we did a lot of sensory testing to make sure we had the right batch and we feel strongly we do."
Carter said BVO will be replaced with sucrose acetate isobutyrate, "one of the flavor emulsifiers we use internationally."
She said she expects the newly formulated drinks to be on shelves over the next few months. Consumers can check for brominated vegetable oil in the list of ingredients and "until then they can drink other (non citrus) flavors that do not contain it."
Carter said there is no current plan to remove BVO from PepsiCo's Mountain Dew but the company is always evaluating "formulas to ensure they meet the high standards our consumers expect."
Coca-Cola, which uses the chemical in Orange Fanta and Powerade, said in a statement that the ingredient improves the stability of some products by preventing ingredients from separating.
"While we are confident in the safety of our beverages, we continuously look for ways to improve our products and take consumers' concerns into account," the statement said.
Change.org said Kavanagh's petition attracted more than 200,000 supporters and was one of its most popular.
"Her campaign is a great example of the shift in power we're seeing between businesses and their customers," said Pulin Modi, senior campaigner at Change.org. "Companies like Gatorade can no longer sit back as thousands of consumers are asking for a change -- they're compelled to do something about it."

Perspective from the president of the Great Falls Historical Society.
We have chosen to make our homes on a village of land where the footsteps of George Washington still echo. From the land close to Difficult Run Stream Valley (where the Colvin Run Mill now stands on Colvin Run Road) that he once owned and envisioned that a grain mill would stand, to the Powtomack (Potomac) Canal System at the foot of Seneca Road with its Lock system at Great Falls Park, which he envisioned as a transport system for farmers to move their grain down toward Alexandria for export, George Washington surveyed, knew the potential of, owned and invested in the development of important pieces of our specific place, now called Great Falls.

She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought. There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air. Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will--as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been. When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under hte breath: "free, free, free!" The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body. She did not staple to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. A clear and exalted perception enabled her to dismiss the suggestion as trivial. She knew

The 138th running of the Kentucky Derby went according to script from a pace standpoint and I'll Have Another ran down Bodemeister after sitting the perfect outside stalking trip.
Post position was critical in the outcome of Kentucky Derby 2012 and the key was the draw of the speed horses. Bodemeister (post 6) drew inside the other pace players and hit the ground running under Mike Smith.
I'll Have Another was comfortably drawn outside the other speedsters in post 19 and his young rider Mario Gutierrez did a great job angling him in early and positioning him within striking range throughout.
I'll Have Another is better than recent Derby winners Mine That Bird and Super Saver but probably not as good as Animal Kingdom. He was in the right spot to take advantage of a strung out field on the first Saturday in May and I want him to go out and prove it again at Pimlico.
Bodemeister ran a winning race but was forced to expend too much early energy and could not hold off I'll Have Another. He wires the field if speedy sprinter Trinniberg is not entered.
Union Rags lost the race at the start and my troubled Derby tops have been down this road before (Lookin At Lucky, Point Given, Hansel, Risen Star). He reminds me of Lookin At Lucky the most. My 2010 Derby top experienced troubled trips in the SA Derby and Ky Derby that year under Garrett Gomez. Baffert made the switch to Martin Garcia and he proceeded to win the Preakness, Haskell, and Indiana Derby.
Julien Leparoux has gotten Union Rags into trouble in back-to-back races and it is time for a change. Just like 'Lucky and Gomez, the karma is not there for some reason. Who would I like to see on Union Rags? I am thinking Rosie Napravnik. She always seems to put her horses in the right spot and gives them every chance to succeed.
Also, rewind your mind to the Gulf this winter when Javier Castellano ditched Union Rags for a plethora of Pletcher runners including Algorithms. Maybe Michael Matz gives him a second chance.
Let's recap the entire field…
1st – I'll Have Another: Post 19 was perfect because he drew outside the other speed horses and was able to keep Bodemeister in his sights throughout. I have never been on his bandwagon and am not about to hop aboard now but you gotta love his positional speed and winning spirit.
2nd – Bodemeister: Ran great considering Trinniberg forced him to go too fast early. He has accomplished so much in a short time this year and I would like to see him get a well-deserved break. Preakness remains a possibility but that would be three races in five weeks and he could bounce to the moon following his grueling Derby run.
3rd – Dullahan: Not surprised that the Keeneland specialist clunked up for a minor award because he did the same thing in the BC Juvenile. He handles any footing but clearly does his best work in Lexington.
4th – Went The Day Well: Nice late run to garner a minor award under the Twin Spires. He was one of my projected trifecta/superfecta contenders so he ran as I expected. He will prepare for the Preakness at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland.
5th – Creative Cause: Made a wide run to get into 3rd but lost the show late when Dullahan and Went The Day Well shot past him. He beat Bodemeister in March and was a nose behind I'll Have Another in April so he is right there with these on his best day and can make some noise in the Preakness.
6th – Liaison: Ended up a better than expected 6th from post 20. He still has not won a race since last December.
7th – Union Rags: A real shame that he did not get to strut his stuff in the Derby. I still think he is the best 3yo in the land and at this point it looks he might skip the Preakness and wait for the Belmont Stakes. He probably wins the second jewel if he goes in that direction.
8th – Rousing Sermon: Decent CA-bred has not won since moving into open company last November. He packs a nice late kick and could resurface in the Belmont Stakes.
9th – Hansen: Never looked like a ten furlong horse and faded under Twin Spires as expected. Juvenile champ is now 1-for-4 in 2012.
10th – Daddy Nose Best: Split the field in a bit of disappointing run considering he was training well for the big dance. He handles dirt, synthetic, and turf so Asmussen has plenty of options in the coming months.
11th – Optimizer: Not a terrible effort beating nine rivals from post two. He has now dropped seven straight on conventional dirt but Lukas will surely keep him on the Triple Crown trail. He is a decent turf/synthetic horse.
12th – Alpha: Missed a key Derby work after being diagnosed with a leg infection after the Wood Memorial. He reminds me of Stay Thirsty and I fully expect him to blossom later this year.
13th – El Padrino: Had a slow start and a rough trip early. He passed a few rivals after sitting in last early and has not been the same since grueling nose victory in G2 Risen Star. I always had the feeling that he was better on wet footing.
14th – Done Talking: Late runner passed a few tired foes and ran to expectations.
15th – Sabercat: Figured to finish near the bottom.
16th – Gemologist: Folded like a cheap suit when the real running began. Guess Pletcher's plan to avoid Kentucky and train in Florida backfired.
17th – Trinniberg: Seven furlong specialist cost Bodemeister the race and had no business running ten furlongs on the first Saturday in May. Connections are thinking Preakness if Bodemeister skips the second leg and he will finish up the track again if he ends up in that spot. A more logical placement would be the G2 Woody Stephens at seven panels on the Belmont Stakes undercard.
18th – Prospective: G2 Tampa Bay Derby hero is a few cuts below the best.
19th – Take Charge Indy: Came out of the Derby with an ankle chip and is scheduled to go under the knife this week. He could return in the fall if everything goes well.
20th – Daddy Long Legs: Not surprising the he did not take to conventional dirt since he finished 12th of 13 in last year's BC Juvenile at Churchill Downs.

Feds open formal probe into Tesla electric car fires
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a probe into Tesla%27s Model S
- The probe of the electric car results from reports of battery fires
- Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he stands behind the car%2C but has ordered changes
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said today it has opened a formal investigation into the safety of the Tesla Model S electric car following two reports of battery fires after striking roadway debris.
The agency said its safety investigation was prompted by recent "undercarriage strikes" in Washington state and Tennessee. In both cases, fires resulted after the cars both ran over debris on the road that pierced the battery compartment. After news of the probe broke, Tesla shares fell to $116 in pre-market trading but climbed back once the market opened. They closed 3.7%, or $4.51, up for the day at $126.09 a share.
Early Tuesday before NHTSA's announcement, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that he taking three steps as a result of the fires, but added that he stands behind their safety. The steps were:
•Higher ground clearance to make them less likely to strike road debris that can potentially penetrate the battery pack and ignite a blaze.
•Asking federal safety regulators to "conduct a full investigation as soon as possible into the fires." Musk gave no hint that NHTSA was about to open an investigation.
•Amending the cars' warranty to cover damage due to fire.
A NHTSA probe can lead to recall, but earlier this month Musk says he has no plans to order one because he doesn't think it is warranted.
Musk announced the steps in a lengthy post on Tesla's blog. In it, he offers yet another strong defense of the car's safety, especially as it relates to protection from fire. "We believe the evidence is clear that there is no safer car on the road than the Model S," he writes. His company expects to produce more than 20,000 of the electric cars this year, which sell for about $70,000 and up.
He calls media reaction to the three fires a gross overreaction, especially given how thousands of conventional cars have been consumed by gasoline fires from ruptured tanks over the years.
He says his battery-powered car is actually safer than just about any gas-powered car on the road.
"Since the Model S went into production mid last year, there have been over 400 deaths and 1,200 serious injuries in the United States alone due to gasoline car fires, compared to zero deaths and zero injuries due to Tesla fires anywhere in the world."
In the posting of its investigation, NHTSA noted that passengers in the Teslas that caught on fire were able to escape. "In each incident, the vehicle's battery monitoring system provided escalating visible and audible warnings, allowing the driver to execute a controlled stop and exit the vehicle before the battery emitted smoke and fire," NHTSA writes.
Two of the Tesla fires were caused when the vehicle struck road debris that pierced the battery compartment. The third happened in Mexico when a Model S crashed. In each case, the occupants escaped unharmed. Musk says it's proof of the car's safety.
But given the media outcry, Musk indicates he decided to act even though he already stands by the car. He says the plan to create more ground clearance under the cars has already been implemented.
Tesla has already sent a signal to the computers in all Model S cars to tell them to increase the vehicle's ground clearance at highway speeds. he says the goal is to reduce the chance of hitting objects on the road. Another software update in January is aimed at letting drivers set their preferred road height for themselves and passengers.
As for the NHTSA involvement in probing the three accidents that led to fires, Musk says that if regulators offers suggestions on how to improve fire safety in the Model S, he will immediately implement them. he has previously said he does not expect that the Model S will need to be recalled over the fires.
When it comes to extending the warranty on the sedan, Musk says his decision will apply to Tesla models and be applicable even if the driver is held to be a fault for the fire.

Expert: 'Super' weekend to buy a television
It's a super weekend to watch sports on television, and one expert says it's also a super weekend to buy a new television.
Jim Wilcox of Consumer Reports said retail television prices are the lowest of the year. But while prices may look good, they could get better.
Wilcox said the new model year has retailers looking to get rid of the old at significant savings to the customer.
"If you buy a TV for the Super Bowl, try to get a 30-day price match to protect you if prices fall significantly over the next couple weeks," he said.
Wilcox said plasma displays are best for watching sports, as they handle fast motion better then LCD displays.
He also suggests that customers not get caught up in the picture quality and instead pay attention to the sound. Because new televisions are so thin, speakers are sometimes an afterthought and additional money may be spent on sound systems.

Swedish death metallers NOMINON have scheduled the following dates:
May 07 - Sundsvall, SWE - Club Deströyer
May 08 - Jönköping, SWE - Zaragon Rock Club
May 09 - Göteborg, SWE - Club Centurion
Support on the shows will come from Spanish coffin robbers GRAVEYARD.
NOMINON will release its fourth album, "Monumentomb", on March 23 via Deathgasm Records. The CD was recorded at Necromorbus Studio (WATAIN, NOMINON, AVERSE SEFIRA, FUNERAL MIST, NEX, ONDSKAPT, MORK GRYNING, ADORIOR) in Alvik, Sweden and was mixed with producer Tore Stjerna. The group states, "We managed to record eleven songs and it all sounds really powerful and heavy, yet fast and with a certain raw edge, and at last it's definitely the most varied material so far from NOMINON."
NOMINON recently announced the addition of bassist Martin Petersson from Gothenburg to the group's ranks.

The process surrounding the application was discussed by the Cabinet when Justice Minister Judith Collins updated her colleagues.
This follows her rejection in December last year of the review by Ian Binnie, a former judge of the Canadian Supreme Court.
Ms Collins said he had delivered a report with serious errors about the New Zealand law of evidence and she could not make a recommendation to the Cabinet based on it.
Mr Binnie found that on the balance of probabilities Mr Bain was innocent of murdering his parents, two sisters and brother in Dunedin in 1994 and had been wrongfully imprisoned for 13 years.
Former New Zealand High Court judge Robert Fisher peer reviewed Mr Binnie's report for Ms Collins and she did not rule him out as a person who might conduct a further report.
Mr Key said Ms Collins would return to the Cabinet with other options that included asking Dr Fisher or someone else to do more work.
Asked if there would be a second report, he said "most probably".
Mr Key said that while the cost of the process was important, it was necessary to reach a robust conclusion by which New Zealanders could understand why any decision had been reached.
Mr Bain's longtime supporter Joe Karam said last night that Mr Binnie's report "should be honoured".

Wondered what this is all about. Remembering that we just had a patch for FTM2014. I first thought there was a connection. WRONG.
Something new in the AMT, so I clicked on Try the Sidebar. The introduction window opened.
- Easy open and close
- Useful tools
- Quick-Access toolbar
Open the sidepanel by clicking on an ancestor. Dismiss the sidepanel by clicking the close bar.
See the relationship of this ancestor to you. Use the dropdown for useful tools. Clck the Hint Leaf to open the Hints tab from either the tree of on the sidepanel.
Hover over an ancestor in your tree for quick access to view a Full Profile, Refocus the Tree, Search our documents, Quick Edit, or Add Relative. So, I clicked Continue. OK, Something is new.
The usual tree appeared, or the Left,
I hovered over that shaky leave and more options
I'll explain those ICONs in a moment.
A new Panel is on the Right had more information on the hi-lighted person selected in the left part of the web page.
Looking at the new panel on the Right, I see an pull down menu
Quick Edit, Delete, or Merge with Duplicate. I think that is new. I don't normally blog about the AMT, I am not, for now, work on the AMT side. I'll continue blogging about the PC side (FTM2014).

MP3: Young Adults - Wasting Time
Young Adults - Wasting Time
Boston's gloomy post punkgazers Young Adults are back with a legit debut release, the limited Black Hole 12" on AMDISCS, and it's fucking GRAND. All the tracks from the demo earlier this year find their way onto Black Hole but they're way more lush, full force high quality tunes that sound 10x better now. "Wasting Time" is killer, a lethargy fueled anthem made for blasting your way through Contra.
No DL link by request, sorry chums.

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Insiders confirm that the upcoming 25th season of Cops could be the last on Fox. But that doesn't mean the end of the show. Executive producer John Langley tells TV Guide Magazine that he will shop the long-running series elsewhere next spring should Fox decide not to pick up a 26th season.
Earlier this month, Fox Sports announced that it would take over Fox's Saturday night slot for most of the remainder of 2012, airing a mix of Major League Baseball, UFC matches and Pac 12 college football. That means Cops — which had already been pre-empted several weeks for Jennifer Lopez's Q'Viva (before that low-rated show was dumped into late night) — will be off primetime for much of the remainder of 2012. (That news was first revealed by Vulture.)
In his first interview since the scheduling move was revealed, Langley admits that "obviously I wish they weren't pre-empting it so much. We've owned Saturday night for 25 seasons. I have a proprietary interest in it." Cops is expected to return next January, and Fox will go back to airing a mix of original and repeat episodes. (Between 16 and 20 new episodes will be on tap for midseason 2013.)
"The good news is we're renewed for our 25th year," Langley says. "That's our silver anniversary, a rarity in TV. I don't expect too many shows to reach that landmark. If Fox doesn't re-order us after the 25th season, we'll find another home, I'm pretty certain. We've got an audience and will always have an audience no matter what happens. We've become an iconic program with guaranteed ratings. We usually win our time slot, so somebody will want us."
Fox is also talking to Langley about a two-hour Cops anniversary retrospective. "We're going to make it a big celebration of Cops, including fan favorites and a countdown of the 25 more impactful moments in Cops history."
A network insider says Cops remained a profitable show for Fox, but that it was becoming less so over time. That was the network's same issue with America's Most Wanted, which it canceled as a regular series last spring. (Fox aired a handful of specials, and AMW eventually moved to Lifetime.) Fox expects ratings to potentially rise with sports on Saturdays (particularly now that the Pac 12's USC is off probation.)
Cops first launched in 1989, and since then has profiled law enforcement in over 140 cities and has produced close to 900 episodes. (The show also regularly airs in repeats on G4 and TruTV.) The Cops-America's Most Wanted lineup stayed the same for 14 years, making it easily the most intact night of programming in TV history. As Fox's rivals slumped on Saturday nights, the gap between it and the other networks grew so wide that Fox insiders guess that Saturday probably added a tenth of a ratings point to the network's weekly average.
But many of Fox Sports' rights deals included a network component, and it got to the point where it was going to take up most Saturday nights. (ABC turned its fall Saturday nights over to ESPN college football coverage a few years ago.)
As Fox celebrates its 25th anniversary, Langley remembers how the show gave the network a needed shot of adrenaline. "Cops at one time was a linchpin for Fox, certainly," he says. "It was a network builder. I think we made a major contribution to the early history of Fox, along with America's Most Wanted, The Simpsons and some shows that followed. People forget that back in the day when Cops first aired, Fox was stumbling. They did a radical revamp of programming and allowed for things that were daring."
Langley notes that Cops was "in the vanguard of so-called reality TV, and I'm proud of that fact. Fox can be largely credited with that fact. They were experimenting with new kinds of programming." Shooting for Season 25 is underway — bad boys, you've been warned.

You can see here a basic map of Awsim (Awsīm) from OpenStreetMap, but you can switch easily to other types of the map: Just choose the second option above the map and you can see Bing Maps, which offer other types of detailed maps of Awsim (Awsīm), related countries, geographical places etc. You can also switch to aerial and birds eye maps of Awsim (Awsīm) there.
You may remember we offered other types of maps here also in the past, for example Google Maps, Nokia Maps and MapQuest Maps, and many kinds of their infomaps, like the traffic map, bike trails, weather map, map with photos and map of public transport from these sources. But some of these services cancelled their operations or changed the conditions under which their maps may be displayed. We sincerely hope you appreciate these new kinds of maps here, as you can see, for example, the difference between the OpenStreetMap vector map tiles from Mapzen shown by Leaflet here and the bitmap tiles from Bing Maps. We are considering adding more maps of Awsim (Awsīm) in the near future again.
You may not only switch among different types of maps using the switches above the map, but you can also change settings of the map using controls on the map. See more details of Awsim (Awsīm) using the zoom control on the left side or see street or terrain map of Awsim (Awsīm) using the controls on the top of the map (Bing Maps). In the past you could also place the yellow figure (Google Maps) to see a street view of any interesting place, but this feature is not available here anymore. But you can see the Birds eye view on the Bing Maps here. Notice: Not all features are available everywhere. Some maps offer more details then the others.
Look below to see more useful information regarding Awsim (Awsīm) and the map of Awsim (Awsīm). You can find links to other places related to Awsim (Awsīm), but there are also tips about how to easily print the map of Awsim (Awsīm), where to find detailed information about Awsim (Awsīm), how to plan your journey and much more. Our primary target is to allow you to compare different types of maps, but we would also like to offer you more when considering your travels and learning about the World.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts to Double Portfolio in Russia And CIS With Seven New Hotels by 2015
Starwood Announces Deal to Open Russia's First Aloft Hotel
The Company's CEO and Senior Executives Tour Russia in Pursuit of Development Opportunities
MOSCOW -August 23, 2012 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:HOT) today announces plans to expand its portfolio throughout Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Over the next three years, Starwood will more than double its portfolio in the region with seven new hotels, including the debut of the Aloft brand in Russia with the new Aloft St. Petersburg, a deal that was announced today. Emphasising the importance of the region as one of the world's fastest-growing hotel and travel markets, CEO Frits van Paasschen and members of Starwood's senior executive team visited Russia this week, travelling to key growth markets, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi and Rostov-on-Don.
"As one of the world's fastest-growing outbound travel markets, Russia represents a great opportunity for us," said Frits van Paasschen, President and CEO, Starwood Hotels & Resorts. "With a rising middle class, growing disposable income, an affinity for luxury brands and huge pent-up demand for foreign travel, Russia is emblematic of the growth we are seeing in regions around the world and key to our global growth plans."
Last year, Starwood opened three new hotels in Russia and CIS, marking a number of key milestones, including the highly successful debut of the W brand in Russia with the opening of W St. Petersburg and the entrance of Starwood into Ukraine and Azerbaijan.
"Moscow has more billionaires than any other city in the world and yet Russia is seriously under-hoteled, with only 28 high-end hotels," said Simon Turner, President of Global Development & Acquisition, Starwood Hotels & Resorts. "Russia and CIS offer tremendous growth opportunities, especially within markets that do not have major internationally-branded hotels. We plan to expand our brands throughout the region in the years to come with development partners who have a proven track record of success and are looking for a new and exciting growth vehicle."
Starwood Continues Expansion
With more than 70% of the world's economic growth coming from fast-growing markets over the next few years, Starwood is focused on expansion in developing markets such as Russia as well as key emerging markets including Ukraine and Tajikistan.
As part of this strategy, Starwood is investing in development, sales and expanding its Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) program in Russia, and will open seven new hotels across Russia and CIS in the next three years. Key highlights include:
- The debut of Starwood in Kiev with the opening of Sheraton Kiev Olympiysky, Ukraine in 2013. The hotel will be located in central Kiev at Troitskaya Square, just steps away from famous Khreschatik Street and other city landmarks.
- The entry of Starwood into Tajikistan in 2013 with the opening of a new Sheraton hotel in the country's capital city of Dushanbe.
- Starwood's second Sheraton hotel in Moscow with the opening of Sheraton Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport in 2013. This new 10-storey hotel will be part of the Skypoint Business Park, located 800 metres from the international terminal of Sheremetyevo Airport.
- The debut of Starwood in three emerging Russian markets with the openings of a Four Points by Sheraton hotel in Kaluga and a Sheraton hotel in Rostov-on-Don in 2014, followed by the opening of Sheraton Perm in 2015.
- Russia's first Aloft hotel with the new Aloft St. Petersburg. Scheduled to open in 2015, Aloft St. Petersburg will be part of an emerging business district within close proximity to galleries, restaurants and green spaces, and will offer an entirely new approach to Russia's mid-market category.
Sheraton First-Mover Advantage
While Starwood is committed to the growth of all of its brands throughout Russia and CIS, the company's most iconic brand – Sheraton Hotels & Resorts – plays a critical role in its development strategy.
"With the largest footprint among Starwood's portfolio and one of the world's most recognised hotel brands, Sheraton is often the brand that allows Starwood to enter key markets," said Roeland Vos, President, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Europe, Africa and Middle East. "Nowhere is Sheraton's 'first-mover advantage' more evident than in Russia and CIS where the Sheraton brand is driving our growth in key Russian and Ukrainian markets, such as Perm, Rostov-on-Don and Kiev."
Starwood CEO and Senior Executives Visit Russia
Underscoring the importance of the region as one of Starwood's fastest-growing hotel and travel markets, van Paasschen and seven members of Starwood's senior executive team visited Russia this week. On the trip, Starwood executives met with hotel owners, customers and investors in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don and Sochi with the goal to further understand, appreciate and ultimately leverage different cultural perspectives and approaches to business.
Starwood currently operates five hotels in Russia and CIS, including: Hotel National, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Sheraton Palace Hotel, both in Moscow, and the recently opened W St. Petersburg in Russia, Sheraton Baku Airport in Azerbaijan and Four Points by Sheraton Zaporozhye, Ukraine.

Tree Surgeons in Sittingbourne
Broadleaf are able to carry out a variety of different tasks in Sittingbourne including tree surgery, crown lifting, crown thinning, deadwood removal, full crown reductions, hedge trimming, non evasive bracing, stump grinding, tree planting, tree removal and woodland management. Contact us for a quick free quote.
Tree Surgery Services in Sittingbourne
Full Crown Reductions
Reducing the overall volume and size of a tree's crown, while maintaining the natural shape of the tree– It may be that you would like to keep your tree but you want more light in your garden, or you feel uncomfortable with the tree's size given its proximity to your property. Typically we use a technique called drop crotching. This is where the arborist in the tree prunes to the most suitable growth removing the weaker leaders to produce both a natural and balanced crown. Don't be fooled in to heavy reductions by other tree companies. This is a bad form of tree management, and doesn't benefit the tree or you! Typically heavy pruning will produce heavy re-growth costing you as a Sittingbourne homeowner more in the long term and stressing the tree, making it more susceptible to disease and or die back.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning leaves the overall size of the tree as it is, focusing more on selected branches within the crown. These branches are often those that are either dead, crossing another branch or growing in to the canopy with no future. Crown thinning reduces the risk of failure in heavy winds and also creates an evenly balanced crown.
Crown Lifting
To remove the lowest branches of the trees canopy creating a formal look. Often carried out on roadside trees, lifting is an effective and affordable way of increasing the light in to your garden or opening up a view once again. Lifting is more often than not done as an alternative to a full crown reduction. When light is an issue but height isn't.
Hedge Trimming
Hedge trimming and shaping is a great way to improve the look of your garden. Broadleaf Tree Surgery have years of experience in all kinds of hedge trimming and shaping and a keen eye for detail. We take pride in each and every one of the hedges we maintain year in, year out. Hedges often provide a formal look to a garden,or give you an element of privacy. Another common hedging purpose is for noise reduction. Regardless if it's a large leylandii tree hedge that needs trimming or a small beech hedge we will produce the best finish each and every time. We specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect hedges such as conifer aphids. Conifer Aphids cause unsightly brown dead patches and can kill whole hedges if left untreated.
Sittingbourne Tree Removal
Unfortunately tree removal is necessary and here at Broadleaf Tree Surgery we understand that. No matter if your tree is overhanging a property, phone lines, a road or what ever may be near by, the experience we have gained over the years means that we can offer a very efficient and safe service.
Deadwood Removal
Trees naturally produce deadwood as branches die over time. Indeed in an area of untravelled woodland this provides excellent wildlife habitat. Unfortunately for trees in the urban environment this is a problem if your tree is in a heavily used public area, or overhanging a road this can be a hazard.
Tree Planting
Tree planting is highly recommended if you decide that you would like to remove one of your trees. Broadleaf tree surgery can provide you with the correct information and recommendations for a suitable tree. Choosing the correct tree for the location is key, and can save money in the long term. We can collect and plant your tree and provide a management program for you to follow to ensure that you get a healthy tree and we get happy customer.
Non Evasive Bracing
We know that your trees are important and we will always try to find ways of retaining your trees bracing is a great way to improve the safety of your tree. We can offer a range of bracing solutions to suit the situation.
Stump Grinding in Sittingbourne
Broadleaf tree surgery offer a stump grinding service in Sittingbourne too. Often a tree is removed in order to make way for a building or for a patio. In order to make this process easier we can grind out any size stump, even in the most hard to reach areas of your garden.
