New sweet shop opens in Maryport
Last updated at 15:57, Friday, 07 December 2012
A 20-year-old from a well-known Allonby retail family is running a new confectionery shop in Maryport.
Kyle Twentyman is behind the counter at Candyland, which has been opened by his father Adrian, who runs the Post Office, newsagents and Codfather fish and chip shop in Allonby.
The Senhouse Street shop will sell a range of old fashioned sweets and some modern variations, and a popcorn machine will be installed soon.
Kyle, who has been serving customers at the Allonby fish and chip shop for the last couple of years, said he was looking forward to running the Maryport business which opened last Saturday.

Kay: Today was so packed that thinking back to this morning is almost a challenge. Have no fear though, I think I can manage. Last night I got a full night's sleep. I used the new night mask I picked up at the mall yesterday. I never used to wear one of those, but when I do, I tend to fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer. Yay! Breakfast was quick since I pressed the snooze button past 7am! Blueberry yogurt and a banana! Jay was up before me and was practicing her French lesson that I managed to complete the night before.
Jay: Unlike Kay, I suffered from sleep deprivation. My night consisted of extreme pain and a short conversation with my husband on the phone while I balled my eyes out. Needless to say, it was not a fun night, regardless, I was looking forward to the day. I had a banana for breakfast. I took enough pain pills to dope up a horse. I also practiced my French this morning. After the third try, I finally finished the lesson. Let's just say my pronunciation and learning French is not going as well as Kay's.
Kay: I had a lot to accomplish at work this morning. I knew I was going to be out of the office for a few days so I needed to take the time to schedule out the store's Facebook posts until at least Tuesday. I have many ideas that I want to see come to fruition; however, there is only so much time in my workday and some of my ideas simply had to wait. I hope to soon get to my volunteer request for the media department, and I would also like to highlight the different departments. Part of my newest position is going to require me to socialize more, which is always a good thing. While I worked on the online campaign, Jay finished up her final day of volunteering at ThriftSmart. Thank you for helping this week!
Jay: No problem, Kay! It was my pleasure. While Kay was working I got to work myself. I processed a box of VHS, shelved some books, and straightened up the book department after which I got to do a little shopping! When I say little, I actually mean a lot. When you are a student and you receive 50% off, you want to stock up. I was able to get seven shirts for myself, seven shirts for my husband, quite a few books, ties, magazines and one dress… no wait, I got two now. I forgot about the one I picked up at the last minute. All of this for $70. Thank you ThriftSmart! Once I was done with that, it was time to go to the InterNashville Tea Room gathering at ThriftSmart. I got to meet some new people, had some amazing rice and gyro meat. Oh, and don't forget the tea, which was amazing. That basically concluded the work day.
Kay: InterNashville, run by the amazing Tamara Banks is held on the second and fourth Fridays of the month at ThriftSmart between 11am and 1pm. I work every Friday and try my best to make it to every one. I am excited that Tamara wants to start volunteering in the book department over the summer. After the amazing food and fellowship we stopped by DQ and grabbed dessert. It was amazing until Jay spilled the rest of my blizzard on the carpet.
Jay: I didn't mean to Kay, I promise! I just got a wonderful hot fudge sundae that was perfect soup consistency by the time we got home.
Kay & Jay: The next three to four hours were absolutely amazing for us. We stayed home, got comfy, opened the windows to hear the buzzing bumble bees and we started plotting. Mwahahahaha… okay, not that kind of plotting. We finally sat down and started a timeline for our book. We have been talking about writing this for years… literally. We realized that it had to be now and we got jiggy wit it. We worked out a ton of unresolved issues and created the timeline from start to finish–all 19 chapters. It pretty much took us until past the time we wanted to leave to go to the restaurant; however, we were not going to leave until it was finished. Talk about dedication!
Jay: So we went to this restaurant called McNamara's, which happens to be an Irish pub with live music every night. And if you remember in one of my previous blogs, I wrote that while in Nashville, I wanted to see some live music and purchase a CD. I got to do just that. The performer there was named Colm Kirwan. He does country and Irish. Not only was the music good, but the food was amazing.
One of my favorite parts about this evening was getting to meet Colm Kirwan. He signed my CD, and here is a picture I got with him.
Here is a small video I took of his performance tonight. It does not do him justice.
Kay: We are finally home and in our pajamas! We are downloading music to our laptops while working together on this blog. We have had a few distractions, and they have been great fun. As soon as we hit the publish button, we are going to complete our final act of the day: I will give you a two word hint. No wait, I will give you a picture hint.
Today's post was longer than originally intended and at the same time just long enough. Tomorrow is Jay's final full day here in Nashville and we plan to have a ball. But first, an episode of Sherlock and sleep await us.

Postseason drama
By Freddy Berowski
On Tuesday, the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins met in the 12th tie-breaker play-in in major league history. The 12-inning affair also matched Game Seven of the 1924 World Series for the second-longest elimination game in major league history, a game in which 12 Hall of Famers saw on-field action.
Tuesday night's game ended in dramatic fashion when Tigers closer Fernando Rodney, pitching in his fourth inning (something unheard of for a closer in this era), gave up the game-winning hit. Alexi Casilla, hitting a major league low .202 in 2009 for batters with more than 200 at-bats, drove a single to right allowing the speedy Carlos Gomez, the primary piece of the 2008 Johan Santana trade, to score the winning run from second base and secure the AL Central title for the Twins. This Tigers loss also marked the fifth time since 1900 that a team lead by as many as seven games in September and lost the lead, ultimately missing the post-season. The other teams to suffer the same fate as the Tigers: the 1934 Giants, the 1938 Pirates, the 1964 Phillies and the 2007 Mets.
The 1924 World Series between the New York Giants and the franchise that is today known as the Minnesota Twins – the Washington Senators – would take all seven games to decide. Eight future Hall of Famers competed for the Giants that day while the Senators fielded four, including Game Seven's winning pitcher, Walter Johnson.
Already 0-2 in the Series, The Big Train played a pivotal role in this game from the time he entered in relief in the 9th inning, striking out five and allowing only three base hits until the game's end. With one out and nobody on in the bottom of the 12th, Giants backstop Hank Gowdy dropped a foul pop-up by his Senators counterpart, Muddy Ruel. Ruel took full advantage of his second chance, driving a double to left field. Johnson was up next and he too reached base, on an error committed by future Hall of Fame shortstop Travis Jackson. Instead of a three-up, three-down inning, runners were now on first and second with one out. Light-hitting Earl McNeely, batting only .192 in the Series and already 0-for-5 in the game, proved the unlikely hero, doubling home the winning run.
Incidentally, the record for most innings played in an MLB elimination game – where both teams could be eliminated – is 13, when the Colorado Rockies defeated the San Diego Padres to become the 2007 National League Wild Card winner.
Freddy Berowski is a library associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

It does the job!

So far this humidifier is doing the job. It is quiet. Which is nice since we bought it for the bedroom. We are considering if we want to get one for the living room.

After doing careful research, I though I knew what I was looking for in humidifiers. I started in a local (small-town) Sears store where the selection was sparse, and found this unit. Quite honestly, this very basic and low-priced unit was not what I'd intended to buy, but I was desperate to take a humidifier home & bought this as a "back up" plan. Yes, I did find a "bells & whistles, ultrasonic, no-filter, hot-shot" unit at a big box store, but after running both units for 48 hours, the pricey one went back and we've kept the Kenmore Cool-Mist because it is so easy to use and it easily raises the humidity in our home without the white dust and odor of the souped-up model. In fact, I headed straight to KMart and found a second, larger Kenmore Cool Mist unit of the same basic design for our family room. Both are quiet on the low settings and we actually enjoy the subtle white noise at night. Yes, we will have to replace the filters in a few weeks, but I've found those online and don't expect a problem or much expense there. We're so pleased with the no-frills, functional, operation of our Kenmore humidifiers. Forget the claims of more expensive units and stick with the Kenmore cool mist humidifiers. You won't be disappointed.

bought this cause my son had a cold he kept saying his room is dry. wasnt sure what to exspect but im glad we bought this one! very quiet, does the job.. and the price was great! i would recoment this product to any one who needs a himidifier for there bedroom!

Don't buy this! I bought is as a single room humidifier. When filling the tank in the bathtub I accidentally dropped it about 1 foot from the faucet to the floor of the bathtub. The tank ruptured rendering the unit unusable. Being broken, I decided to take it apart. Very easy to disassemble. The first thing I noticed is that the wheel that allows you to dial in the month isn't attached to ANYTHING! It has absolutely no effect. On some humidifiers changing the date increases humidity in dry/cold months like January. Not here, its just fake! This is an evaporation based unit, it has a cheap cardboard tube which soaks water and a fan which evaporates the water. This does not function like a Crane or other decent humidifiers. In my unit, which we only used for a month their was already MOLD growing on the cardboard. On the positive side I got a nice two speed motor and propellor blade when I disassembled the unit.

When I had the flu the doctor recommended I get a humidifier. The best price I found was at Sears on this model. I expected there to be mist coming from it that might make things damp nearby but tat was not the case at all. It is easy to fill and if I leave it on all day I have to fill it about once each day. The only thing I don't like is that periodically it gurgles. It only bothers me at night and sometimes it woke me up since I'm a fairly light sleeper. The humidifier has helped my skin as well as helping me get over the flu!

Most incoming first-year Honors Scholars receive Westminster's top scholarships.
The program is designed to create a community of Honors Scholars and to promote intellectual vitality and academic rigor. Honors Scholars complete an enhanced curriculum including rigorous research, thesis preparation, problem solving, and independent investigation beyond the norm. The culmination of the program is an Honors Scholar Project, in which the scholars work closely with a faculty member in their major to grapple with questions and issues in their field of interest.
Benefits of the Honors Program
- Honors designated housing
- Enhanced learning opportunities for students with excellent academic records, superior abilities, intellectual promise, and demonstrated initiative
- Curricular and co-curricular opportunities for building a sense of community
- Priority course registration to allow Honors Scholars the best opportunity to schedule their desired classes
- Enhanced student-printing privileges
- Special library privileges, e.g., semester-length checkout of books for Honors Seminar and Honors Research courses
- All-College Honors designation on transcripts and diploma
- Membership in the student honor society Omicron Kappa Sigma and planning of formal and informal events for Honors Scholars and the academic community at large
- Waiver of registration overload fees during any semester when the student is also taking an honors course.
Student Testimonials
Heather Lorigan
"The Honors Program provides an excellent way to interact with students in other majors and discuss world issues, as well as creating a support system that comes in very useful."
Nicole Panza
"Being an Honors Scholar at Westminster College pushes me to be the best I can in my field. My project gives me experience in research and the chance to tackle a problem my using Westminster education."
Brett Turk
"If you choose to be part of the Honors Program, it will be the biggest intellectual challenge of your life thus far. You will encounter many struggles, frustrations, and obstacles along the way. However, I believe that you will be a stronger person once you complete the program."
Samantha Killmeyer
"Choosing to join the Honors Program was one of the best decisions I made during my time at Westminster. I learned how to propose a research topic, gather a board of professors to support me, complete an extended project, and defend my work. The program also provided a unique community of academic support. The students from my cohort are some of the best friends I made in college, and because we all have such diverse interests, I might not have met them otherwise. The Honors Program was the best learning community I could have had at Westminster."

Harvesting Wind Energy for Microid Microrobots
J. Clark, F. Li, S. Naidu, R. Sahu, and J.V. ClarkPurdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
In this paper we numerically investigate the feasibility of microids to harvest energy from the wind using the piezoelectric effect to recharge its energy supply. Microids are a particular subset of microrobots that have insect-like dexterity. In order for microids to function autonomously long-term outdoors, it is advantageous for them to be able to extract renewable energy from the environment. Previous efforts of others have demonstrated that the piezoelectric phenomenon can be used to extract electrical energy from wind or other fluid-like environments. However, the particular design construction of microids presents a special case where it appears to be most efficient to exploit its piezoelectric appendages for both locomotion and energy harvesting. In this study, we examine various geometric modifications toward maximizing the rate of power extraction from the wind.

The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames - Hudson River Museum Through May 19, 2013 - Yonkers
In the late 18th century, British artists developed the large-scale panorama, which became a popular form of entertainment in Europe and the United States. The Hudson River Museum's exhibition, "The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames," explores the panoramic vista as the ideal expression for a new, all-embracing way of seeing the landscape that influenced how the public and artists perceived it as well. By the early 19th century, painters such as Robert Havell Jr. worked to express this panoramic perspective in their choice and depiction of vistas. Havell and other artists in the exhibition such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Kensett, favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression. "The Panoramic River" features loans from museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: Baltimore Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fenimore Art Museum, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; and Princeton University Art Museum. "The Panoramic River" is organized by Hudson River Museum co-curators Bartholomew Bland, Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with additional essays by Pat Hardy, Curator of Paintings, Prints and Drawings, Museum of London, and Geoff Snell, Doctoral Student, University of Sussex and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England. The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue have been made possible by a generous grant from the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, Inc. On view through May 19, 2013.

Epiglottitis is inflammation of the epiglottis. This is the tissue that covers the trachea (windpipe). Epiglottitis is a life-threatening disease.
The epiglottis is a stiff, yet flexible tissue (called cartilage) at the back of the tongue. It closes your windpipe (trachea) when you swallow so food does not enter your airway. This helps prevent coughing or choking after swallowing.
Swelling of the epiglottis is usually caused by the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae). It may also be due to other bacteria or viruses that can cause upper respiratory infections.
Epiglottitis is now very uncommon because the H. influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine is a routine childhood immunization. The disease was once most often seen in children ages 2 through 6. In rare cases, epiglottitis can occur in adults.
Epiglottitis begins with a high fever and sore throat. Other symptoms may include:
The airways can become totally blocked, which can result in cardiac arrest and death.
Epiglottitis is a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical help. Do not use anything to press the tongue down to try to look at the throat at home. Doing so may make the condition worse.
The health care provider may examine the voice box (larynx) using a small mirror held against the back of the throat. Or a viewing tube called a laryngoscope may be used. This examination is best done in the operating room or a similar setting where sudden breathing problems can be more easily handled.
Tests that may be done include:
A hospital stay is needed, usually in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Treatment involves methods to help the person breathe, including:
Other treatments may include:
Epiglottitis can be a life-threatening emergency. With proper treatment, the outcome is usually good.
Spasm may cause the airways to close suddenly. Or, the airways may become totally blocked. Either of these situations could result in death.
The Hib vaccine protects most children from epiglottitis.
The most common bacteria (H. influenzae) that causes epiglottitis is contagious. If someone in your family is sick from this bacteria, other family members need to be tested and treated.

Baldwin High School in Kansas Wins Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) National Aviation Design Competition Using Mentor Graphics FloEFD Technology
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 7, 2010 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that its FloEFD™ computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software product was used by all state finalists in the annual Real World Design Challenge (RWDC), a national aviation design competition that was held in Washington D.C. on March 26-29. The 2010 RWDC National Champion is the team from Baldwin High School in Kansas, receiving their first place award on March 29 at The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
High school students from across the country are given the opportunity to work on a real world engineering challenge in a collaborative, team-based environment, applying lessons learned in the classroom to the technical challenges faced in today's workplace. The theme of this year's competition was "Green Aeronautical," and the challenge was to improve the design of a business jet wing and tail to withstand specific physical conditions, while considering balance lift and weight—and thrust and drag—with zero pitching moments. A public and private partnership, the RWDC provides tools and resources to the schools to support Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. The Mechanical Analysis Division (MAD) of Mentor Graphics donated its leading FloEFD computational fluid dynamics software to all participating schools.
The Baldwin High School "Kansas Tornadoes" national champions, led by their teacher and coach Pam Davis, and mentor Sandy Barnes, is comprised of students Mason Johnson (Sr.); Brandon Baltzell (Jr.); Carson Barnes (Jr.); Shelby Gregory (So.); Carrie Deitz (Fr.); MacHalpin (Fr.) and Austin Kraus (Fr.). The second place team, from Iolani School in Hawaii, won last year's RWDC event; the third place winners are from Hutchinson High School, Minnesota.
"I am very proud of them!" stated Pam Davis, who coached the Baldwin High School team. "Our students have learned what is involved in a real life engineering project and how a team is more than just the sum of its members."
The aeronautical challenge requires the teams to apply the software (donated by NASA, Cessna, PTC and Mentor) and develop a paper on their findings, then make a presentation to a panel of expert judges. The judges then select the finalists and winning teams.
"We take great pride in knowing that our FloEFD computational fluid dynamics software was used in this national competition and served the teams well," stated Erich Buergel, general manager of Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. "These young students demonstrated the ease-of-use and high-performance benefits of FloEFD for aerodynamic analysis, solving the design challenge with accuracy and confidence."

There has been over the last few years a massive increase in censorship. It is likely the incident that occurred on 9/11 is a major reason why (or excuse) this increase has occurred. I will say there is something not quite right concerning the so called terrorist incident on that day. The US intelligence community were having their budgets cut, and there were no reasonable threats to the security of the US or its allies since the fall of the USSR as a world player. Then it happened, all very convenience, and the reaction of some of the leadership is also cause for concern.
Since then the Bush and Obama Administration's has used censorship under the guise of "national security" to withhold information, and to manipulate public opinion. Sometimes the censorship in the case of documentation is border line ridiculous. The distribution list is censored the name of the individual responding to you request is censored in documents released. There is also a more suspicious activity which involves the manipulation of legal processes, which may have in their opinion national security justification, by using legal techniques to place information in inaccessible locations as to be unobtainable using various legal laws and acts which do have the authority to make the information avaliable. Sometimes the powers that be just do not want to inform the public of any activities or provide any information, this is more likely a systematic response or a culture that has developed, sometimes paranoia on the endless possible, improbable, and impossible threats which may or may not occur.
The reaction of the media, the public and foreign powers or interested groups is also of concern and is deem a possible and actual national security threat or has implications to the stability of the United States. This is depending on current events, information that has been declassified, leaked information (such as Snowden) from sources, and deliberate manipulation of events and information by interested parties in the USG.
It boils down to this, if in any doubt classify it. Also an uninformed masses are easier to control and provide less grief, and of course be used for their own ends. We must not forget also it is Important to keep control of your own military personnel, and that is essential also.
It has been said that the US military and Administration policies are ensuring national security, but national security of whom? The 40 per cent of Americans who live below the poverty line and eating out of garbage bins? Or is it the structure of power and the central command structure which must be protected? Or is it the middle classes who provide the majority of the tax which funds the US military machine as well as other agencies in the civilian sector? It would be more plausible that the power structure is the first to be protected under national security the very individuals who sometimes cause the threat to occur directly or indirectly through a sequence of events which leads to the development of the threat, a process which repeats itself, since the US military machine needs threats to justify its existence and of course those at the top of the chain who have certain indoctrinations and mind sets and agendas.

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency lifesaving procedure that is done when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. This may happen after an electric shock , heart attack, or drowning.
CPR combines rescue breathing and chest compressions.
Permanent brain damage or death can occur within minutes if blood flow stops. Therefore, it is very important that blood flow and breathing be continued until trained medical help arrives.
CPR techniques vary slightly depending on the age or size of the patient. The newest techniques emphasize compression over rescue breathing and airway, reversing long-standing practice.

A week before its $762 million tender offer expires, Sun Capital Securities Group LLC told Kellwood Co. shareholders Wednesday that "tendering is the only way to guarantee you receive $21 per share in cash."
"You must tender your Kellwood shares into Sun Capital's offer to ensure you will receive $21 per share in cash," the private equity firm said in a letter.
Although most shareholders won't commit to tender their shares until right at the buzzer at midnight Tuesday, Sun Capital's letter is common practice, experts said.
Sun Capital will likely announce on Wednesday how many shareholders tendered their shares. If the private equity firm gets the necessary majority, which Kellwood has required to remove impediments to the hostile takeover, it will be able to "close the offer and pay you for your tendered shares within a matter of days," according to the letter. If not, Sun Capital will decide whether to extend the tender offer or abandon the deal. Sun Capital is the second-largest shareholder of St. Louis-based Kellwood.
The private equity firm on Jan. 14 made the $762 million all-cash tender offer for Kellwood, which is projected to do $1.6 billion in sales in the fiscal year ended Feb. 2, and held $1.5 million in assets in 2006, according to the annual report.
Sources said Kellwood hopes that a higher bid is made or that the majority of shareholders will decline Sun Capital's offer. The Kellwood board said on Jan. 28 that it was halting efforts to block Sun Capital's takeover, and Wall Street boosted the stock price 19 percent to about $20.
In Wednesday's letter, Sun Capital told shareholders that the current stock price was a result of the offer, not company performance, and that if they didn't tender their stock, they risked losing the value the stock had gained since Sun Capital announced interest in the company last September.
"The offer represents a premium of 38 percent to Kellwood's stock price when we first proposed the acquisition on Sept. 18, 2007, and is even more attractive today," the letter said. "Since then, Kellwood's peer group and the S&P Consumer Discretionary Index have experienced significant declines due to weakening fundamentals in the consumer sector. Accordingly, we believe Kellwood's stock price would decline significantly, likely to a level well below its trading price on Sept. 18, 2007, in the absence of a sale of the company."

Choose the Right Tree
Answering these key questions can help you choose the right tree for your yard:
1. Evergreen or deciduous?
Evergreen trees keep leaves all year. They are good trees for privacy, wind breaks and hot areas. Plant them on the north side of your home.
Deciduous trees lose their leaves in fall or winter. They are good trees to plant on the south, east and west sides of your home to provide shade in the summer and warmth in the winter when the sun can shine through.
2. What size tree?
Different types of trees vary in their height and width. Based on the measurements in the areas where you would like trees, consider the following:
Short and wide trees: Grow up to 25 feet tall and 40 feet wide. They can grow above the roof of a single-story house. They can be planted under overhead utility lines, and as a street tree if the branches won't interfere with traffic. They need lots of room.
Short and skinny trees: Grow up to 25 feet tall and about 20 feet wide. They are great for small areas or under overhead utility wires.
Medium and wide trees: Grow 25 to 45 feet tall and 40 feet wide. They provide shade for the entire roof area of a single-story house and walls and windows of a two-story home. They need lots of room.
Medium and skinny trees: Grow 25 to 45 feet tall and about 20 feet wide. They are great for areas near fences and smaller places.
Tall and wide trees: Grow higher than 45 feet tall and 40 feet wide. They provide the most shade for homes, driveways and other large, hot areas.
Tall and skinny trees: Grow higher than 45 feet tall and about 20 feet wide. They provide shade in areas that do not have a lot of room.
4. What else should you consider?
Trees can add more to your home than shade or a wind block. Consider trees for their:
Flowers: Flowers add color to the landscape and attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other wildlife.
Fall color: Red, orange, yellow and purple are all colors that add beauty in the fall.
Shape: Trees can be oval, pyramidal, round, spreading, vase-shaped or narrow; all add interest to your landscape.
Fruit: Many varieties of fruits can be grown in Southern California, providing food from the garden.
Drought tolerance: Native trees of Southern California and other low-water use trees, once established, need little or no extra water.
4. Putting it all together
Decide whether you have enough room to plant in the areas you have selected. Note that you must stay at least 10 to 15 feet away from the house foundation and at least 5 feet away from fences, patios and other surface structures.
Based on the location of the trees, look at the SelecTree website to find trees that are evergreen and deciduous and are the right height and width for your area. Remember, only short trees that reach a maximum of 25 feet tall can be planted under overhead utility lines.
Purchase the trees. 5-gallon, 15-gallon or 24-inch box trees are appropriate sizes to purchase and plant. Street trees must be at least 15-gallon size.
To purchase climate appropriate and low-water-use plants in California, you might start by consulting these sources:
- SelecTree
- The California Native Plant Society
- El Nativo Growers
- The Theodore Payne Foundation
- Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden
- Las Pilitas Nursery
- Tree of Life Nursery

FARMINGTON — Those who couldn't make it to Washington, D.C. for the inaugural celebrations of President Barack Obama's second term got to celebrate the historic event in a more intimate setting on Sunday.At the Inaugural Ball, hosted by the Farmington Democratic Committee, locals gathered to enjoy music and hors d'oeuvres, while reflecting on the Democrats' achievements this election season."We can be very proud we elected a president of color, and that despite the hatred, the money (raised on the other side of the aisle), we elected him again," said Farmington Democratic Committee Chairman Manny Krasner.Upon realizing that Obama's public inauguration ceremony was happening on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Krasner said it's "poetic justice."Krasner said that members of the Farmington Democratic Committee decided to organize the Inaugural Ball in the fall, as a way for fellow Democrats to enjoy each other's company while helping raise money for the committee.Local musician Pat O'Brien entertained those in attendance, and the audience sang along to songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind," by Bob Dylan.
