Question about tree transplanting
Hi, Iam an architecture student from nottingham, iam currently doing a project on crematoriums. i had an idea of where the body is cremated then placed in a box of sum sort then a segment its cut out of a mature tree then the box is inserted into this segment then the segment inserted back into the tree. would this damage the tree in long term or would the tree accept it again. The segment would only be out of the tree for an hour or so...
Any help please or any other suggestions??
You are talking about cutting a branch off a tree and then putting it back on? This would be similar to grafting and it could be done (probably the branch should not be bigger than a pencil). If you are talking about doing this with the trunk itself of the tree, then no, it could not be done and really the amount of time doesn't matter.
Interesting and creative idea but it won't get you any awards from tree-lovers. Cutting the trunk damages the cambium layer which feeds the tree. The dead interior wood might not mind (although it serves as structural support for the tree) but you would still be stifling a portion of the tree's feeding system and creating a potential point of entry for disease. This might work if you do not damage too much of the cambium layer but there is risk to the tree with this idea. I dont' know if it's likely that the reinserted piece of cut cambium would knit back into the main trunk but I doubt it. Adding the "ashes" (which is really the ground up remaining bone chips if my understanding is correct) to a planting hole might work depending on what kind of tree it is (you would need to research the particular species' requirements, strengths and weaknesses). I'd be curious to hear what an arborist or horticulturist has to say about all of this.
If you wanted the jar to be in the tree you could get the tree to totally surround it. This may take a while though, similar to getting a barbed wire fence growing through a tree...
Or you could but it down into the root ball, and the tree would naturally surround it.
It would be best to choose a fast growing tree. Willows grow fast, and I assume they would heal fast too.
If the crematory jar was made more into a tube, the tree could easy be trained to grow around it, like the fence, and totally encapsulate in over time.
The trick then would protecting the container and making it look semi-decent while the growth process is taking place.
THE BEST IDEA however, would be to grow the tree specifically to be used for such a situation around a decorative with a lid facing outward. This way, the crematory jar could simply be placed into the tree whenever the death occurs in the family. The cover of the tree box could be part of the memorial, or it you really wanted, it could manufactured out of glass once the tree finished encapsulating it. do you like that idea? Go ahead and use the idea if you like. You would need to make the side walls of the box very strong, possibly with a domed top, or have a triangle box to support the weight of the tree that will grow above it....
Good Luck!

I miss my kitties. But they are living large at the folks' house. Lots of places to roam and soooo much spoilin'.
I wanted to write something about ghosts. Something about how when they show up in your dreams they steal rest from you all night long. Not the kinds of ghosts that wear sheets and chains or the kinds of spectral presences that populate spooky stories. I'm talking about the kind of ghosts that used to live large in your life but that you killed off, metaphorically speaking, so you could move on. About how when they use your dreams to resume their presence in your life, it sucks the wind right out of you. Who gave them the right?
I wanted to write about those ghosts but I couldn't come up with anything to say, really.
Be gone
Normally I try not to get too upset at winter for doing its thing. Just let it run its course. It'll lose steam and get gone and we'll see it creeping back in later in the year after it's run off to have its affairs elsewhere.
Hell, I even appreciate that winter gives me a few months of long sleeves, layers, tights, coats and scarves.
But this year…
You gotta go, dude. Get.
'Sometimes you're half in, and then you're half out'
Obsessed with this song. And the video (which is NSFW for one sec because boobs).
'If I had a voice I would sing'
More, give me more, give me more.
Bite it
Holden has taken to yelling, "Mama! Watch your tongue!" at me unprompted, many times a day. Even when I'm not saying anything inappropriate.
And, as rude as he is, he's right. The tongue is going to get me in trouble some day.
'Do your worst if you can'
'Slow dream plannin' up my next scheme'
Sleater-Kinney coming back from the dead at this moment in my life is serendipity.
Now if Rage Against the Machine could get back to it, that'd be perfection.
Clever headline here
I am up late having a rather obnoxious battle with insomnia. This literally never happens to me. I always sleep. I have a regular appointment to keep with my dreams. But tonight I'm being eaten alive and my eyes won't even shut.
You ever think much about humiliation? About that red hot flush you feel at first when it dawns on you that you're at the short end of a stick of some kind, and how your heart pounds for hours and hours as you go over every detail of the stupid things you did? You relive them again and again in silent horror, turning each one over and over in your head like a stone smoothed by current. You ever think much about how fucked up it is to have this cryptographer-type organ knocking around in your skull, meting out all this information to you as it untangles it? But how sometimes really awful stuff slips right past and goes undeciphered, but once your cryptographer organ friend gets all that info cobbled together and notices a Really Unfortunate Pattern, it dumps this flood of adrenaline into your veins and peaces out (sayonara, reason!) and you have to sit there feeling like a lion is pacing around you even though the only thing that has changed is your understanding of the context in which you were previously living?
Humiliation is a toxin and you have to sweat it out. Except the sweat is existential and it physically hurts as it exits your body. You can feel it in your chest, in your bones, down low in your gut, where it throbs a bit. You can also feel it in your brain — the pesky little guy who allowed it to set in to begin with.
Spend long enough sweating it and that humiliation might calcify parts of you.
If you are like me, you might welcome that. So that maybe next time you won't feel it as much.

|Minimum Stay
|1 - 7 nights
Boogie Board Inn is a fun, family friendly home. Our guests like being able to walk across the street to the heated pool, park and tennis courts. It is a short stroll to the beach, to the downtown shops or to attend special community events. 'Groovin on the Green' is a time honored happening the whole family will enjoy. Bring a blanket, listen to the live music, sip a glass of wine, watch the sunset over the lake and meet your neighbors.
You will love all that this private, gated community has to offer including the belltower at the center of the village. Its 35 bells announcing the quarter hour create a serenity that is hard to find. One visit and you are hooked. Carillon is a special place.
Unlike Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Watercolor, Sea Crest, Sea Grove Beach and many other communities along 30-A, Carillon is South of the highway. With no busy roads to traverse, you and the kids are free to walk, ride bikes and enjoy this secure, pedestrian friendly, gulf front village.
Boogie Board Inn is a two-story home that sleeps nine with bedrooms on both the main and 2nd level. The 'Inn' is professionally decorated in bright beachy colors and a fun flair to make sure you stay in that 'I am away from it all' frame of mind!
You will appreciate the attention to every detail. A custom crafted lighthouse lights the way as you ascend the stairs to the second floor where you will find two master bedrooms(King and Queen-size beds), each with a private and spacious bathroom, vaulted ceilings and original artwork. A children's nautical theme bunk room that includes a double bed with twin bunk (sleeps three)and private bath rounds out the upstairs accommodations.
Downstairs is the fourth bedroom, a suite with queen-size bed that overlooks a beautiful fountain and patio sitting area. This bedroom is perfect for the teenager who needs some space or grandparents who want the convenience of a main floor suite. All four bedrooms have TV and DVD.
You will love the clean, crisp hardwood and tile throughout, the custom lighting, the granite counter tops in kitchen and master bathrooms and the designer window treatments! A big screen high definition TV in the living room is perfect for movie night or the big game. For those who must stay connected, we offer a WI-FI, wireless, broadband internet connection. The large porch verandas have ceiling fans and audio speakers - a perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening cocktail.
Boogie Board Inn is just seven houses from the #1 dune walkover. Resort style lounge chairs and umbrella are set up daily for your exclusive use. Back at the house an outdoor shower and dressing room make the clean-up after the beach a breeze.
Guests also have the option of using the Carillon Beach Club which offers the convenience of a second pool right on the beach. There is a third pool overlooking the lake for those who like variety. Bicycle rentals are available at the shops in downtown Carillon or bring your own.
The new Northwest Florida Beaches Intl Airport offers low cost fares with daily flights available on Southwest and Delta Airlines. Boogie Board Inn is a short, 9 miles from this beautiful airport.
Call us and we will be happy to do whatever possible to make your stay the very best.

We built Boogie Board Inn as our dream beach house and we hope you appreciate the finishing touches and chic, beachy feel. Our children grew up on this beautiful stretch of the Emerald Coast.Trips to Carillon are a family tradition for us and we believe they will be for you once you experience this special place.
Jim Davis purchased this house in 2006
Carillon Beach is a quaint village by the sea. Once you are through the privacy gate, you can throw the car doors open and let the kids roam free. Carillon does not have crowds or traffic and you don't have to cross a highway to get to the beach. The on-site amenities, belltower, lake, park, pools, tennis and close proximity to the best '30-A' restaurants, golf, adventure sports and of course that white sugar sand make Carillon a carefree, memorable choice for your family vacation.
Boogie Board Inn is one of the few true 4 bedroom, 4 bath properties at Carillon. The two master bedrooms make splitting the stay with another family a win...win. Kids, teens and the occasional adventurous adult are treated to their own space in the nautical bunk room. Proximity to both pool and beach is perfect! 'If you are looking for an upscale beach experience at a value minded price point, Boogie Board Inn at Carillon Beach delivers'.
Greetings!! Arrived Thursday for a Mother /Daughter annual trip. We have truly enjoyed our stay. The Boogie Board Inn was simply spectacular, so peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be back to Carillon Beach. Thanks for everything!
It was an amazing month of August. The Boogie Board Inn was everything we could have hoped for. The home is very nice and comfortable, well maintained, just as described. There is plenty of room. The living area had enough space and would allow the whole family to visit together. For a portion, we had our grandkids and the pool was a convenient walk. The walk to the beach is easy, however, we enjoyed the golf cart rental when we had the kids' toys coming with us. The beach chairs and umbrella were awesome and were set up for us every morning when we arrived. We enjoyed our exercise, walking and running, in the neighborhood. Downtown Carillon is fun. Red Raes is great and we ate at Castaways several evenings. We would highly recommend BBI. This is our 5th visit to Carillon and the best so far! We look forward to returning.
We had four generations of our family, ranging from ages 7 to 90, at the Boogie Board Inn and had a great time! The location is perfect-- less than 5 min. walk to the pool, the beach, and the village. The house was large enough for the 6 of us to have some private time, yet cozy enough for us to gather and create some wonderful family memories! The owners were so easy to work with--felt like old friends!
Our party of 12 (6 adults and 6 children, ages 5 to 12) recently spent a week at BBI and loved it! The house is brightly and charmingly decorated, the Carillon community was ideal, and the beach and the pools were superb. I had been concerned that it might be a little tight for our large group but we brought along two blow-up beds and things were fine. We had a leaking shower issue, but the owner dealt with it quickly. Carillon was great for our children and we liked being very close to the park and the pool, and a short (maybe 5-7 minutes) walk to the beach. My only suggestion would be to add a blind to the rear door -- my husband and I slept in the main floor bedroom and I would have liked that blind!
We really ejoyed BBI and Carillon and definitely plan to return.
By far, the Boogie Board Inn is the best beach house we have ever rented! Very spacious- we had seven in our group and everyone had plenty of room. The house is clean, very well maintained, and decorated beautifully. We were happy to be close to the Beach Walkover and the pool. The owners were helpful to answer all of our questions and provided the best information about great restaurants, nearby shopping, etc. We rented bikes in the lovely Downtown Carillon. Such a fun vacation! We enjoyed sitting on the front porch of Boogie Board Inn sipping on coffee every morning. We will definitely be back next year!
The house is as beautiful as shown. It's very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The community was perfect!!! The beach was one block away and it felt like our own private beach!!! The three pools were an added bonus...they are all well maintained and they were a nice option to have, even tough with such perfect beaches we rarely bothered with the pools.
The owners, Jim and Susan, were a pleasure to work with. They provided us with all sorts of "inside" information, such as attractions & restaurants, so that we were a little familiar with the area before we even got there.
We would love to go back to Carillon Beach, and definitely would not mind going back to the Boogie Board Inn.
Bayou Bill's Crab House is the place to go for good food; we went twice! Yum....
Our family truly enjoyed our vacation at the Boogie Board Inn! The house was just as described and Carillon is the perfect place for a family. The house had everything we needed...+ some extras! With a pool right across the street, that was great for the little ones, and a very short walk to the beach it really worked out well. My suggestion...bring bikes or rent some there, we had a blast riding through with the kids and seeing the homes & community....made for a good workout and a fun time!
Pier Park - New outdoor mall just 10 minutes away, Salon Baliage & Spa, Paradise Fitness, Yoga Classes, Walking on Water Paddle Boards, Sunrise Market and Cafe', Bridge Span 14 and Farmer's Market are all on-site in downtown Carillon

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Belichick: Wanted an explanation
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick on Monday said he did not mean to disrespect the official whose shirt he grabbed as the official was running off the field after the Patriots' 31-30 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, saying he was trying to find out whether the game-winning field goal was under review.
Justin Tucker's 27-yard field goal as time expired sailed just over the right upright, and several Patriots -- including Vince Wilfork -- were pleading with officials that the ball was actually wide of the goalpost.
MacMullan: Patience With Refs Flagging
Sunday night's game between the Patriots and Ravens proved it: The NFL's replacement refs have to go, Jackie MacMullan writes. Story
"From the sideline I saw the ball go pretty close to the upright. I couldn't obviously tell from where I was at where exactly it went," Belichick said in a statement at the beginning of his Monday news conference. "But I saw players waving that it was no good, then I saw the officials giving the signal that it was good, and I just wasn't sure from where I was standing whether the ball, when it went over the crossbar, was above the upright or in between or not in between the upright.
"So by rule, if the ball isn't over the crossbar, and it's either inside or outside of the upright, that's reviewable. If it's over the crossbar, over the top of the upright rather, then it's not reviewable. I couldn't tell, from my angle, when the ball crossed the crossbar, where it was. So I didn't know whether or not that play was going to be under review or whether it wasn't.
"So when the game was over, I went out and I was really looking for an explanation from the officials as to whether or not the play was under review. I did try to get the official's attention as he was coming off the field to ask that, but I really wasn't able to do that."
Ray Anderson, the NFL executive vice president of football operations, said in a statement that the league is reviewing the incident as well as the conduct of Ravens coach John Harbaugh.
On Sunday night, as the officials continued to walk past Belichick without acknowledgement, Belichick grabbed the last one to get his attention. But the official did not break stride.
After the game, Belichick deferred comments about the officiating in the game and said he didn't think he would be fined by the NFL.
"I've coached in this league a long time," Belichick said Monday. "I've never been penalized, never had any incidents with officials or anything like that. I have never meant any disrespect or in any way tried to abuse or be disrespectful to the officials and the job that they do. I was trying to get an explanation for obviously an important call/play in that game. That's the No. 1 thing between coaches and officials, it's always at the forefront, just communication of what's going on and what's happening."
Belichick then recalled a game at Foxborough Stadium in 2000, his first year as Patriots coach, in which quarterback Drew Bledsoe was ruled to have fumbled as time expired in a game against the Dolphins.
"As I was walking off the field with (referee Johnny Grier) at that time, I talked to him about, 'This seems like an incomplete pass, there should be more time on the clock, we should have another play here,'" Belichick explained. "(His response was) 'No, that's the ruling, the game's over.' We go back into the locker room, 10 minutes or so later, Johnny comes back and says they are reviewing the play and we may have to go back out and finish the game. About five minutes after that, players got dressed, we came back out for a final play in that game.
"So I've been through a situation at the end of a game where it's over but it's not over, that type of thing. That was really the situation last night. I was trying to get the official's attention to get an explanation on it. In no way was I ever trying to do anything other than that."

by Barry Janoff on Dec 22, 9:19 AM
Companies know that, barring extreme implosions, major sports events are generally controversy-proof and are magnets not only for core fans but for casual and even fringe sports consumers. 2010 is loaded with such gold events as the Super Bowl, the Winter Olympics and the World Cup.

Leverage Fan Insights As An Asset
by Jon Last on Dec 8, 12:16 PM
Beyond the economic advantage, the progressive sports marketer that embraces such an approach reaps the added benefit of using research not just as a drunk uses a lamppost ... for support, but more appropriately for its intended use ... illumination.

Take Them Out To The Old Ballgame
by Susan Ford on Dec 1, 11:08 AM
Encouraging families to attend live sporting events now will produce two positive outcomes for sports marketers. In the short term, it will provide merchandising opportunities afforded by souvenir vendors in stadiums and arenas. In the long term, it will create lifetime fans by instilling an emotional connection between kids and the live sports experience.

Well.. this is among my favourite songs if it's by Weird Al Yanko...
Your Horoscope for today (amv)
So.. my question here this time is.. Do you believe in such things about future predictions? Tarrot Card, Palm reading, Bone reading, Rock reading, Horoscope and ect ect... You can put some of those you know as well... lol
Do you believe in suchs or just believe in them just for fun or to raise optimistical thought over your future?
Name some interesting way that people use to see the future if you do know some ^^
Here's one of mine...
-The midnight mirror ;
Principles are the same as Snow white's enchanted mirror.. only be done using any kind of mirror.. the conditions are that,
i) By the stroke of midnight comb your hair in front of a mirror... (they say you may see the supernatural world instead)
ii) By the stroke of midnight bite a red apple infront of a mirror ( You may see your future husband/wife's face or in some cases your face when you die if you do not marry before you pass away )
To me.. the most effective and trustable future predicting is through dreams when we sleep... i faced this phenomenon where i dreamed and my dreams come true exactly the way it was.. and everytime it happens.. well.. you know how it feels when de ja vu happens :p
Freaky! xD
:hattip: Well happy posting :p :laugh:

375.00 for precut granite slab?
A local company offers precut slabs, 26"x8' for 375.00 or even 275.00. Does this sound too good to be true? And what is reasonable for cutting out a sink and installation?
Our sink cutout is $250 and the cooktop cutout is $150.
When we were granite shopping, one of the salespeople mentioned "the granite wars" that are going on and it's true that there are some places selling granite for $30 per sf.
So it doesn't surprise me that there are places selling it for an even lower price. There's an economy of scale when you cut out a lot of pieces the same size. If you are interested you should look over the pieces and make sure they look good and fit into your kitchen scheme and, most important, that you like the granite.
We paid $240 for a 3' x 8' pre-cut Shanxi black "island" blank with laminated edge on two sides. That works out to $10 a square foot for a uniform pure black slab.
We needed it to get a black piece 24" by 53" for our hearth and it was an inexpensive way to get a piece of pure black granite. In our case, we didn't need the laminated edge, but the edge was well done.
The amount in our itemized contract with our GC for fabrication of the fireplace surround and hearth to cover cutting 4 rectangles - one for the hearth and 3 from our quartzite counter remnants for the surround - and installation was $500.

I worked at Citizens Bank full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
It's hard to think of something good to say... no, I actually cannot think of one thing. If you haven't watched the documentary on RBS in the UK (the company that owns Citizens), I'd highly recommend it to get an idea of the type of culture upper-management is promoting.
I had relatives that worked in other retail branches that are (thankfully) no longer employed by CFG, so I can now say what I really think.Cons
Where to begin...
-- Zero Class:
One of my relatives recently retired after working at the same branch for 15+ years... they told her to work the weekend AFTER her official retire-date (which she told them about a month in advance) because she "wouldn't be doing anything anyway", and her big send-off was a "GOODBYE!" on the employee schedule the week she was leaving. What a nice way to send someone into retirement after 15+ years of service.
Regional Manager talked to another of my relatives, a teller with 2 years experience, like she was a child -- asked her "Do you understand how a checkbook works?" because there was an outstanding balance on her LOC. Branch Manager yelled in her face and embarrassed her in front of customers.
-- Branch Management:
managers in retail branches and regional directors are extremely unprofessional (I've worked at 2 or 3 different branches and dealt with multiple regional managers, so I have a good sense of the overall culture, not just for 1 branch).
-- Development:
Peers and managers do just enough to get by, no initiative takers or outside-the-box thinkers; this culture and work ethic permeates down to the newest hire
-- High Pressure Sales Environment:
managers push tellers to sell products that are lackluster and add no benefit for the customers we service; just selling customers something for the sake of selling. If you don't hit your "sales goals" each quarter, you are given warnings and can be terminated. Tellers aren't sellers, they're there to take deposits and maintain customer accounts. Terrible business model.
-- Office Politics:
highly political environment; e.g. someone who did 10x less work than I did was promoted over me because he was a favorite of the branch manager. I'm glad now that I didn't get promoted.
I'd go on, but this is getting ridiculously long.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Stop treating your employees like dirt; hire professionals that can manage people without all the politics. Invest in your employees (time and money). Pay your people more so they can serve your customer better, instead of spending millions on candy that customers couldn't care less about.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.

Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Solomon Islands Gets US$13 Million Boost to Improve Efficiency and Reliability of Electricity Services in Honiara
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
March 22, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C, March 21, 2014 – The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors today approved US$13 million in additional financing to Solomon Islands for the Sustainable Energy Project (SISEP), which is working to improve the operational efficiency, system reliability and financial sustainability of the national power utility, the Solomon Islands Electricity Authority (SIEA).
The SISEP project began in 2008 and has supported the financial turn-around of the SIEA. This new funding will build on this success and support the SIEA's efforts to strengthen the capacity of its main power grid to meet consumer demands for improvements in the reliability and efficiency of electricity supply.
The new funding will be used to finance capital investments to strengthen SIEA's largest power grid in Honiara and improve the efficiency and reliability of power supplies; strengthen project management capability to execute capital works activities; and build capacity in such areas as power system dispatch and control, power system planning, integration of intermittent renewables and Independent Power Producers (IPPs), and transaction advisory services.
"Electricity is critical for every area of development - including delivering clean water to households, running schools and hospitals, and enabling businesses to grow and expand. While the majority of households in Honiara are connected to the main SIEA grid, for many years the reliability and efficiency of supply have been poor," said Tendai Gregan, World Bank Task Team Leader for the project.
"The Solomon Islands Government and the SIEA Board have been steadfast in their efforts to transform the financial performance of the SIEA, and the financial and operational improvements at the SIEA since 2011 have enabled it to now focus on planning and implementing long-overdue investments that will improve the reliability, efficiency, sustainability and affordability of electricity supplies across the country," he added.
Solomon Islands currently has one of the lowest rates of electricity access in the world and some of the highest electricity prices (over US$0.80 per kWh). In Honiara, which accounts for around 90 percent of the nation's electricity generation and consumption, 64 percent of households are grid connected. Outside of Honiara, where 90 percent of the population lives, 6 percent of households are grid connected. The new investments to strengthen the Honiara distribution grid will significantly improve services to those who are already connected, and will facilitate providing access to the 36 percent of households in Honiara that are not already connected.
This additional financing consists of a grant and low-interest credit from the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank's fund for the poorest countries.

The group's Executive Director Michael Ault says a combination of efforts by private groups and city government is paving the way for a new kind of downtown experience.
"Our goal is to not just have us go to an 8 o'clock concert or a 7:30 game, but to come two hours be part of an active, urban district that gives you opportunities whether or not you even have a ticket to this event."
~Michael Ault, Executive Director
Ault spoke at the partnership's annual State of Downtown Breakfast. He said the group has joined with Dignity Health to address the homeless problem and with the police department to address nuisance crimes downtown.
Transportation was also a focal point of the downtown forecast. As part of the refurbishing of downtown, the City of Sacramento will begin a Sacramento Train Station renovation this spring.
Construction on a street car line connecting Sacramento and West Sacramento is expected to break ground next summer.

A Ukrainian court stripped Serhiy Vlasenko of his seat in parliament on March 7, prompting criticism from the European Union which considers his case politically motivated.
© www.byut.com.ua
Vlasenko says grounds to reconsider court decision to strip him of his mandate obvious
Yatseniuk: CEC should not register another lawmaker instead of Vlasenko until decision of Constitutional Court
Yanukovych: Annulment of Vlasenko's parliamentary mandate to affect Ukraine's relations with EU
The Central Election Commission, in its decision regarding the annulment of Serhiy Vlasenko's parliamentary mandate, has confirmed the illegality of the decision that was earlier taken by the Higher Administrative Court of Ukraine, the Batkivschyna Party has reported.
"The pro-government part of the Central Election Commission on March 18 declared elected and registered another MP instead of Serhiy Vlasenko. Thus the CEC finalized and shared the responsibility for the earlier unlawful and unconstitutional decision of the Higher Administrative Court, which deprived Serhiy Vlasenko of his parliamentary powers," the party said in a statement posted on its Web site.
The party said that it was impossible to find justice in the CEC in its current composition and in the Ukrainian courts, which "are fully controlled by the customers of political punishment of opposition figures."
"That is why a complaint was drafted and submitted to the European Court of Human Rights against the HACU's decision on the case of Vlasenko, and Batkivschyna expects its rapid and objective consideration. We're confident that decisions in this case and in other complaints that were submitted to the ECHR by [former Prime Minister] Yulia Tymoshenko and (former Interior Minister) Yuriy Lutsenko will finally stop that lawlessness that is happening in Ukraine," the party said.
As reported, on March 18, 2013, the CEC registered Roman Stadniychuk of the Batkivschyna All-Ukrainian Union and Oleksandr Kozub of the Regions Party as people's deputies in place of Andriy Verevsky and Serhiy Vlasenko, whose parliamentary mandates had been annulled by a ruling of the Higher Administrative Court of Ukraine due to the fact that these two MPs combined their parliamentary work with business activities.

Flowers in my foyer.
Plants migrating from a gloomy basement to glorious sun.
And best of all, I did a BIG project. I painted my front door in a color I'm sure has astounded the neighborhood. I tend to play it safe with calm neutral tones. But this time I decided to go wonky wild with a bright, vibrant color.
I pored over paint samples and finally selected The One. I sanded my fingers to the bone to get off the boring cinnamon color. Then I locked Bogey and Indy in the bedroom (no need for paint on hair or hair on paint). My trusty brush and I had a date with destiny, and here's the finished product:
It's fun and glorious and maybe just a tiny bit Easter eggy, but that's okay. Overlooked is something that will never befall my front door.
Can you tell I'm in a Springtime frame of mind?

Great quality, not as pictured
Eleanor from Atlanta, GA
This purchase was a GREAT value and the perfect solution for our bedroom. The listing labeled the headboard as "gray" but in reality the upholstery is truly a slate blue. Fortunately this worked with our color palette so I was able to keep the item, but it is most certainly not a true gray. Also, the nailheads appeared to be brass in the item photo, but are actually high-polished silver. I would have preferred them to be as pictured, but at such an unbeatable price I was willing to compromise. The construction seems sturdy and was very easy to assemble. I would recommend this headboard, but please know it is gray-blue with silver nailheads!!
Stylish, Hip Headboard
Jacqueline from Jackson, NJ– Verified Buyer
I bought the blue-gray with silver(ish), studs along the border headboard. I am pleased with quality and sophisticated look. I will give it 4 1/2 stars. The only thing that I wish they had done when making the headboard, was place the legs on either side of the headboard...not both legs of the headboard screwed into one side. I was coming from another state to put it together. Thank God I found someone with the right screwdriver to get the screw out. I guess they had done it this way for options...because either way, the legs would have to be unscrewed to adjusted, preferable height of the bed.
simple class
Andria from Savannah, GA
i was hesitant to purchase this piece but couldn't pass up the price. it is really nice, soft and good quality. i agree with other reviews it is not beige but more of a grey hue. a little loose on the frame but we shoved it up against the wall and it is fine. we put this in our guest room and it gives a little more elegance to the room
Love it!!
Rebecca from Washington, DC
I wanted this after seeing my friend's headboard, which looks almost identical but was much more $$$. This was an amazing price, and it looks amazing for the price. I would still say it looks amazing for the price even if it was several hundred dollars more expensive. Also, very easy to assemble.
Beautiful headboard
evelyne from arlington, TX– Verified Buyer
Better than expected. Color is true to picture. Wonderful buy for the money. The only minor annoyance was that the screws included were defective therefore a trip to hardware store was required. The headboard was packaged and protected very well and was easy to attach bed frame. Very pleased with this purchase.
Heath Upholstered Headboard
Barbara from Scarsdale, NY– Verified Buyer
I looked at headboards that were two to three times as expensive as this one and even though the legs are not upholster it still looks terrific. Once the bed is made up that doesn't matter because you cannot see the legs. I love the nailhead detailing and the fabric is good quality. Very easy to set up too!
Safavieh Connie Headboard
Linda from Frisco, TX
We are very impressed with this headboard, and it is exactly what we were looking for to use in our guest room. We ordered the gray, and it is perfect! The fabric is a brushedsueded-feel medium true gray with silver nail-head trim and it attached directly to the existing bed frame. Now our guest room is complete! Finally!
Matches description
Katie from Pittsford, NY– Verified Buyer
You pretty much get exactly what you would expect out of this headboard. It was very simple to put together and looks very nice. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is not necessarily the sturdiest piece of furniture. However, for what I paid, I'm very satisfied.
great deal
Micah from Michigan– Verified Buyer
fast shipping and easy install. looks great and feels nice to touch. One note the screws in back have assembly going in a certain direction. We went the opposite as the manual described because it made more sense to us. sometimes manuals can be wrong.
maureen from Tampa, FL– Verified Buyer
I can't believe how perfect this headboard worked out for me! It is very plush and rich looking and fit perfectly with the colors in my guest bedroom! The price was the best part! I have NEVER seen a headboard of this quality for such a great price!

Jaycees offering turkey legs, drinks at Polar Plunge
For the first time, the Detroit Lakes Jaycees are offering one more option for those outside during the Feb. 13 Polar Plunge -- and it's a warm one.
"From the ice, we'll have coffee and hot chocolate, and we'll have the adult beverages in those same drinks," Jaycee Jon Olson said.
"As far as food, we were trying to think what we could serve that would be something people can eat while they're outside."
So, they came up with jumbo turkey legs, like at the fair.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 8:9
What we consider as riches tells a lot about us. A friend visited Mother Teresa's House for the Dying in Calcutta. She asked a helper, "How do you stand doing this day after day?" The woman pointed to a portrait of Jesus, with the caption, My Lord and my God. "He is not only my Lord and my God, but He has given me the privilege to be here His hands, eyes, mind and feet. I count it a privilege," The woman said. The little lady ministering to Calcutta's dying was more joyful in her wealth of opportunity than moguls in their mammon.

NCVEI releases benchmarking tools for specialty and emergency practices
Emergency and specialty practices have long been frustrated with the lack of comparative data relevant to these types of clinics. But these practices are finally getting some needed attention, thanks to the National Commission on Veterinary Economic Issues (NCVEI) and VetPartners.
The two groups are announcing the release of financial and operational metric benchmarking tools designed specifically for referral practices. Two sets of tools will be available: One set for referral practices and one set for board-certified specialists and emergency doctors. The practice tools include data such as revenue per doctor, compensation, benefits, management techniques, and number of referring veterinarians. Tools for specialty veterinarians include information on production, compensation, and benefits categorized by specialty.
"These tools encompass significant financial and operational metrics that referral practices need to be reviewing in order to manage their businesses more effectively and more profitably," says Dr. Karen Felsted, CPA, MS, CVPM, CEO of NCVEI. "Our goal is to provide referral practices with the same level of data and benchmarks as general practice, but tailored just for them."
The NCVEI and VetPartners also plan to add a profitability estimator and fee comparisons. And that's where you come in. Click here to submit quantitative and qualitative information about your referral practice and to help populate these tools. Comparative results will be available at the NCVEI Web site as soon as information from a minimum number of practices has been gathered.
