It was obviously associated with the long filled in arm of the Royal Canal, now a park, that ran down to Broadstone. The library itself stands on part of the canal.
I think the dock may have been filled in in the 1970's.

You can access if from South Docks Road, just at the RHS of the chain link fence. It is going to be used as a donor to piece in the missing stones to the other 2 docks. They are missing their gates, and the sluice that empties them into the Dodder also has to be upgraded.
The proposal for the development is mainly apartments, approx 6 floors high each building, in between each dock. Waterways are also getitng a new maintenance yard, as awell as a community center being incorporated into the development. AFAIK, the social & affordable element of Britain Quay / U2 tower is being allocated in this development.

Student Spotlight: Azeam Anjum
Azeam Anjum
Major: Engineering
Hometown: Naperville
Azeam Anjum developed an interest in science during high school, where he also enjoyed math and computer programming.
"I liked to relate physics concepts to my interests, such as the application of electromagnetic induction and how it works in an electric guitar," he said.
After College of DuPage offered him a scholarship, Anjum researched the school and decided to apply. He's never doubted the decision. For example, in 2010, Anjum was one of two science students from College of DuPage to land summer internships at Fermilab. Anjum participated in a project with a re-accelerator that involved inductive output tubes, or IOTs, which TV stations once used to broadcast analog signals.
"I worked with technicians, engineers and physicists who were designing cooling systems for the IOTs in a test facility," Anjum said. "I learned so much from the people I worked with – Maurice Ball on this project, Kevin Duel on the second project, and my supervisor Frankie Kelly."
In addition to gaining an internship at Fermilab, Anjum was the rare student who also landed an intership at Argonne National Laboratory. After his internship ended, he worked at Argonne an additional two years as a co-operative technical research assistant and then as a research assistant.
Anjum earned his associate's degree from COD in 2011 and transferred to the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he was awarded the UIC Steven M. Pasquerelli Academic Merit Scholarship and the INPO National Academy of Nuclear Training Merit Scholarship, which was based on his performance working as an engineering intern at the Exelon Nuclear Power Plant. During his last two semesters, he was a researcher at the UIC Computational Multiphase Transport Laboratory, where he researched CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics).
In 2013, Anjum graduated summa cum laude from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, and he also was a graduate of the UIC Honors College. He currently works as a fossil power technologies engineer at Sargent & Lundy, LLC, in downtown Chicago.
Anjum is thankful for his time at College of DuPage and how well it started his collegiate career.
"COD has great opportunities," he said. "All of the science classes transfer, and I could take upper-level courses. To study thermodynamics at a two-year college is impressive."

3.08/5 rDev -22.2%
A: Dark brown, clear, bubbly, reddish around the edges. Weak head, no retention whatsoever.
S: Pretty standard given the addition of coffee in the brew.
T: VERY dry, this is not a sweet porter. Smooth vanilla, bitter-sweet chocolate notes, definantly some nice coffee, but more like a french press coffee than an espresso. Not sure what degree of roasted the added coffee was.
Acid levels are WAY to high in this beer. After the first bottle I was done. No question about it. It left a sour gas station coffee flavor lingering on the back of my tongue.
M: Effervescent. Really highly carbonated. Thin, kind of water.
O: This beer tastes good on the front of the palate. Pretty good indeed, everything else about it falls flat imho. I try to drink local often, but this is just not what I want representing Texas's contribution to brewing. There's always Rahr and St. Arnolds...

Pours black with some slight brown highlights around the edges when held up to the glass. When you smell the beer, you wonder if you are smelling beer or strong coffee. I can also smell some malt in the aroma, but it is well hidden behind the strong coffee smell. The taste is what you would expect from a beer that smells just like coffee, with lots of coffee flavor and some roasted malt. I expected this beer to be thicker, but it is a relatively thin beer in the mouthfeel department, but that is not a bad thing. When it gets cold outside, I could drink lots of these beers while sitting by a fire.

Appearance- A beautiful deep dark brown. Cream colored head that disappears quickly.
Smell- Coffee and chocolate in that order. Almost smells like root beer.
Taste- You can taste the coffee right up front. Maybe some dark bitter chocolate. Hints of roasted malt too. Alcohol sugar comes in on the back-end.
Mouthfeel- Really nice mouthfeel. Exactly how a porter should go down. Not as thin as an IPA, but not as thick as an Russian Imperial stout.
Overall- A great seasonal beer from a good brewery. Grab some if you still can, but drink them ASAP. These won't taste good for long.

Poured into pint glass black with a one and a half tan head that retains for a good while. Great lacing all the way down. The smell is of roasted malts and coffee. There isn't much hop flavor in the taste, it goes straight to carmel sweetness from the malt and ends with a definate coffee aftertaste. This has become one of my very favorite session porters.

From my main man pwsoldier!
Really dark with next to no head.
Big time coffee in the nose. Similar to Peche Mortel in terms of strength. Not as well-rounded, but damn delicious.
This is all coffee. Nothing more, nothing less. Carbonation is fine; drinkability is fine.
If you're into coffee stouts, well worth seeking out. For the style this is solid stuff.

Thanks to Exiled for this nice extra.
12oz. brown bottle poured into an imperial pint.
A: Pours a deep brown with lots of ruby light coming through. A moderate head on the pour without much retention or lacing.
S: Smells of light roast coffee with some added acidity. Milky and even some darker, slightly bitter chocolate notes.
T/M: Pleasant coffee flavors that don't over power the Brown Porter base. More of the milk and dark bitter chocolates. Not a ton of roasted maltyness, which is a surprise. The acidity from the aroma is just barely detectable. Body is medium to medium light with mild carbonation. Maybe cask style for a bottle?.. hence Real Ale? I don't think I've had any of their other beers.
D: 6.3% is actually a bit surprising as there is no hint of alcohol and it's very drinkable. I thought this would be closer to 4% than 6%. Not a very flashy beer but definitely something I'd order at a local pub with dinner or during a game.

A coffee porter that actually pours and looks like black coffee. That's weird isn't it? If it weren't for the khaki head you might mistake this for a cold cup of joe. The froth dissipates to a small dollop of scummy looking bubbles floating around the murky dark brew.
The nose could use some improvement. It's not bad but there is a mild touch of burnt hair smell that is acrid and acidic like scorched coffee in an old pot. It doesn't stay long or linger through the whole beer, in fact it fades into a lovely roasted black malt scent. I have to admit that it's growing on me.
The taste is where this brew shines. Deep roasted grains flip flop between a sweet espresso and unsweet chocolate. The coffee is not over powering as in some other beers and you can't tell if the bitterness is from the delicate addition of hops or a subtle twang from the cafe.
The body is medium to full, not quite as thick as a stout but definitely heavier then a regular ale. There is a creaminess that lasts into the mild chocolate malty finish. Incredibly pleasing beer that I'm going to add to my regular rotation, while I can still find it.

I got this from JJFoodie and boy, am I glad he lives near this brewery I'd never heard of until we started trading.
This brew pours out a deep, dark brown with some clarity in the light brown highlights. A light brown head sits stiffly at one finger for a long time and leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
The aroma is strongly of roasted malt with smooth roasted coffee with a note of bittersweet, caramel and a creamy sort of sweetness.
The flavor is not as much like drinking black coffee straight up as coffee with creamer; much of the harshness, acidity or astringency that marks some coffee brews are blessedly absent here, making this one smooth and very enjoyable, especially with the flavors of cocoa and caramel rounding it out and a roasted grains flavor underneath, finishing with a light hops flavor to really even it all out.
The body begins rich and smooth in a full body, not losing much of that character even in a dry finish.
This is a great coffee porter.

Received in trade with htomsirveaux. Thanks! Bottle dated 12/29/09. "Keep Cold. Drink Soon". Okay then! Poured into a Humble Patience Imperial Pint.
A - Pour is a dark coffee brown. Holding it up to the light makes it halo around the edges, but you can't see through it. A foamy finger's worth of foam on the top that stuck around for the entirety of the beer.
S - Good roasted nose flavors: dark malt, hint of coffee, hint of vanilla and a sweet toffee note. It's very inviting.
T - A good roasted malt flavor in the front. The coffee makes its presence felt in the middle and finish, bringing a mild bitter note to the flavor. The vanilla and sweetness is there, as well, but subdued. An excellent balanced sip.
M / D - The mouthfeel is a bit thinner than I was expecting, though to be fair to the beer, I've been drinking a lot of heavy stouts as of late. Still, I'd like to see a bit more robustness in the aftertaste. The beer is fantastically drinkable, despite being a bit high on the ABV for a porter. I could drink these all night, easily.
This may be the best porter I've had in a while. The nice vanilla notes blend in well with the dark maltiness and coffee. I would drink this if available to me quite regularly, and I'm glad I had a chance to try it!

12oz bottle served in a Stone Levitation glass...got this through a trade with BA user Exiled, cheers buddy!
A - a finger of light tan foam dwindled to about half its original size before settling to a ring and island. this porter is pretty dark, only noticeable dark brown hues when held up to light.
S - lots of fresh coffee beans, also roasted and served black. pretty big dark chocolate throughout, notes of oak, vanilla, toffee.
T - coffee is definitely the star but isnt overwhelming and doesnt dominate. chocolate malt, oakiness, subtle vanilla and dark fruits. earthy hop bitterness along with some more chocolate finish.
M - least favorite part of this for me...feel it is a tad bit overcarbonated and chalky. doesnt ruin the beer, but i like coffee porters (and stouts) to be more creamy and subtle in the mouth.
D - solid coffee porter which changed character through different temperatures. better when warmed and when the carbonation settles.

Big thanks go out to my man Daniel (stopbarking) for this one out of a box of real gems.
Pours a clear dark ruby brown with a light tan head that retains very well leaving nice lacing.
Nose is weaker than i expected on the coffee front, its in there, but roasted malt makes its presence known first.
Hmmm. Definitely not the coffee bomb i was expecting, but aside from that, this is an excellent porter! Great roasted malt profile with an excellent creamy presence through the middle. The finish is nice and sharp without being too bitter or chalky, and great roasted malt lingers in the aftertaste. The coffee is definitely used as an accent here (think coconut in coconut porter) rather than a focal point of the brew. There's something to be said for subtelty and i like the way this is done. I like coffee bombs too, but this is an excellent porter aside from any adjuncts.
Mouthfeel is a touch thin, but not bad. Carbonation is dead on, and i like the mouthfeel on the finish.
Drinkability is quite solid. Could probably put away a sixer of these with ease. Another advantage of it not being a total coffee bomb.
Overall, this is an excellent beer. The coffee is a nice accent rather than a dominant face raping java joust. Which will be somewhat offputting for those looking for a cup o joe breakfast beer, but if you stop and think about the fact that this is a coffee PORTER, and that there is something to be said for the subtle end of the spectrum, you will realize that this is a very nice porter. Recommended.

Big thanks to lnashsig for nailing another one of my long-time wants. I was going to save this for breakfast, but the aroma of bacon (I'm making Spaghetti Carbonara) and the best by date of 2/18/2011 (tomorrow) overwhelmed me.
Poured from a 12oz bottle into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Very dark but essentially clear auburn liquid with light-brown highlights when held to a strong light. A smattering of light khaki suds grace the top, but recede fairly quickly to a lasting collar and a burbling slick fed by the steady upthrust of carbonation. Fine fluid lacing, no legs.
Very delicate aromatics - the perfect mix of roast malt and roast coffee, such that I can no longer distinguish which is which. Very little else going on in the nose though, and these notes are restrained. When the beer warms, this doesn't improve.
Malty, chocolate-tinged palate entry, soft without a hint of astringency from roast. Hints of vanilla. Though it lacks a lactic note, there is something about this that reminds me almost of a milk stout more than a porter. Mild grassy hops deliver a modest bitterness which dries out the bready dainty finish. The coffee used seems like a very mild blend and is more earthy than fruity in nature. Well balanced and tasty beer, though lacking the intensity of many other coffee beers I've sampled which holds back the rating just a bit here for me...
Medium-bodied, moderately carbonated, smooth and velvety.
Big time drinkability though the base flavors are disappointingly muted. More a session ale than a sipper, curious how this would hold up on cask.

Thanks to Joshua (HopSchnapps) for this one. Best By date of 1/26/11. Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint.
A: Standard pour yields a 1 finger frothy light coffee head with poor retention. Beer is a clear, dark, almost opaque mahogany. Lacing is stringy and spotty with decent stick.
S: Nose is subtle but simple, appetizing, and appropriate. Roasted malt, coffee, and milk chocolate in perfect harmony.
T: Opens slightly metallic. Roasted malt and coffee beans combine to produce a subtle, smokey, tartness. Bitter chocolate towards the middle and end as coffee begins to fade. Finish is a touch of liquorice and chocolate sweetness as metallic taste returns. Aftertaste is roasted malt and a sprinkle of dark fruit.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Slightly too lively at first but settles nicely as it warms. Smooth in the mouth and oily and filmy going down with just a bit of abrasiveness at the edges. Finish is messy with a slight, lingering aftertaste.
D: A slightly above-average porter that achieves a nice simplicity and balance. Feel is a bit off and nose is a bit too subtle but flavor is right on point and its a nice looking beer overall. Worth trying if you come across it.

Had a bottle at Jo's Coffee in Austin. While I liked the balance of coffee and roasted malts, this drank more like a brown porter. There's a mild, but not too bitter coffee flavor. It tasted like a very light roast and was quite drinkable, but you'd expect a richer beer for a coffee porter. Give it a try, it's certainly a new take on the sub-style.

22 oz hand bottled bomber. Thanks to Deuane for splitting this. I believe he received this in a recent BIF. Poured into a snifter.
Pours black with a thin head of mocha colored foam. Great looking flareup leaves some nice patchy lace back. It takes some aggressive swirling at first but I finally get a nice enough release of roasty coffee character. It's not overly burnt or acrid smelling, with the overall bouquet coming off as more sweet in the nature, thanks to some backing notes of caramel and chocolate.
The taste gives it up much easier, with a largely toasty feel, courtesy of coffee and roasted malts. The coffee character seems to have a pleasant fresh aspect to it, with more mellow notes of chocolate and toffee sweetness balancing out some of the bitterness and light astringency in the back. The mouthfeel is lighter medium feeling with a softer carbonation that gives the flavors an easy flowing feel.
Not much to complain about here. This was a solidly done Coffee Porter, with some nice roasty accents and balancing sweetness. An easygoing body helped this one go down well. I've been wanting to try this one for a while and for the most part, it didn't disappoint.

Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar
Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar, abbreviated C-RAM or Counter-RAM, is a set of systems used to detect and/or destroy incoming artillery, rockets and mortar rounds in the air before they hit their ground targets, or simply provide early warning.
C-RAM is effectively a land version of weapons such as the Phalanx CIWS radar-controlled rapid-fire gun for close in protection of vessels from missiles.
C-RAM is an initiative taken in response to an operational needs statement made by the Multinational Force Iraq (MNF-I). The directive arose in response to the increasing number of casualties caused by attacks using rockets, artillery, and mortars in Iraq. The land-based Phalanx B was subsequently deployed in Iraq in the summer of 2004. It protected the Green Zone and Camp Victory in Baghdad, Joint Base Balad near Balad, Iraq, and was also deployed by the British Army in southern Iraq.
- Operational
- Centurion: 20mm Phalanx Close-in weapon system, a land based variant of the US Navy's defense system;
- Iron Dome: an Israeli missile system featuring multiple target tracking and self-guided missile interceptors. Due to the ongoing increase of its engagement range and new missile and interception improvements, plus Surface-to-air missile capability, it has developed into a fully-fledged air defence system. By November 2012, the system had intercepted over 400 rockets fired into Israel by Gaza Strip militants. Based on operational success, defense reporter Mark Thompson estimates that Iron Dome is currently the most effective and most tested counter missile system in existence.[1]
- Nächstbereichschutzsystem MANTIS: 35mm fully automated C-RAM system, produced by Rheinmetall based on Oerlikon's Skyshield and ordered by the German Air Force in use from 2011.
Raytheon is developing a laser-based variation where low cost focused lasers will provide increased range and time-to-intercept over the gun. A proof of concept was demonstrated on a 60mm mortar round in 2006.[2]
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is also building a laser-based variant known as the Iron Beam.

Linking to a past post chronicling the absurdity of NHL officiating. How little has changed in three seasons is unnerving.
Our picks for the top players on the Lightning this past season.
With Colin Campbell's reign of error coming to an end, what does the NHL's new head disciplinarian need to do to right the ship?
Two non punishments in two separate series. Both players score crucial goals for their teams in the next game. The NHL playoffs seem tainted by Colin Campbell's legacy of inconsistency.
Following a tumultous run, Colin Campbell is stepping down from his role as head disciplinarian for the NHL and will likely be replaced by Brendan Shanahan.
Tonight,t he Eastern Conference Champion will e decided, the Prince of Wales Trophy awarded, and a Stanley Cup Finals berth clinched for the winner of tonight's contest between the Lightning and...
It's now a best-of-three series between the Bolts and the B's. We reflect on the worst call of the series as well as touch on the starting goaltender argument.
The Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Boston Bruins 5-3 in Game four of the Eastern Conference Finals, overcoming a 3-point deficit to tie the series at 2.
Will the physicality relent in the Penguins/Lightning ECQF series after the NHL levied suspensions against Chris Kunitz and Steve Downie? Better question: Will Club Two-Minutes ever show a shred of...

Wall Street Beat: Tech sales news mixed ahead of earnings
News about how tech sales are doing has been mixed, ahead of a flood of earnings reports from vendors.
10 things to know about the smartphone kill switch
Apple already has one, Microsoft and Google say they'll build one, Minnesota will demand it from next year and it could soon be the law in California and maybe nationwide. The smartphone kill switch appears to be on its way to every handset sold in the U.S. so what's all the fuss about? Here's a look at the main points of the technology.
Apple and Samsung fail to settle patent dispute in California
Apple and Samsung Electronics told a court in California that they had failed to reach a settlement in their patent dispute, suggesting that a deal akin to that between Google and Apple may not be on the cards anytime soon.
Apple and Google agree to drop all patent suits
Two giants of the mobile phone industry, Apple and Google, have agreed to drop all current patent infringement lawsuits between them, they said Friday.
California bill proposes mandatory kill-switch on phones and tablets
Politicians and law enforcement officials in California will introduce a bill on Friday that requires all smartphones and tablet PCs sold in the state be equipped with a digital "kill-switch" that would make the devices useless if stolen.
Google Wi-Fi could soon connect again in Mountain View
Residents of Google's hometown could soon be connecting to the Internet again via a free, citywide Wi-Fi network.
New types of RAM could revolutionize your PC
New chips that blur the line between computer memory and storage are starting to move beyond niche applications and could change how we use PCs, an industry analyst said Sunday.
CES Scorecard: the biggest misses of CES 2013
Love it or hate it, the annual International CES is the way the year begins for many people in the consumer electronics industry. Next week in Las Vegas, companies will present their vision of things to come, some of it grounded in fact and some pure speculation. For all the solid technology on show, there's an equal amount of "throw it out and see what sticks" gadgets and gizmos.
Twitter doubled revenue, saw deeper losses in Q3
Twitter lost almost as much money in the July-to-September quarter as it did in the first six months of this year, according to a regulatory disclosure made by the company on Tuesday.

Why you should be investing in mobile business
As of November 2011, 91.4 million people in the United States owned smartphones, according to comScore. That was an 8 percent increase over just a few months before.
Four reasons why you don't need a tablet computer
Tablet PCs are the in thing right now. In fact, you'd be hard put to walk into any sort of electronics store today and not be bombarded with displays for the latest and greatest tablet. But are tablets all they're cracked up to be? Or has Apple and its uber popular iPad duped consumers into tablet envy, and its competitors into a mad scramble to develop their own "iPad rivals?"
Windows 8 could learn a thing or two from the iPad
At the Wall Street Journal?s D9 conference, the big news was about Microsoft. The company?s Windows Division President, Steven Sinofsky, appeared on stage with the Journal?s Walt Mossberg, and he unveiled Microsoft?s official response to the iPad?s massive success. And there was a lot to be impressed by in the demo, but in the end it seems like an approach that is utterly poisoned by Microsoft?s old ways of thinking.
Intel Sandy Bridge chip flaw could be good news for tablet PCs
Intel discovered a fatal flaw in the "Cougar Point" chipset, interrupting and delaying the launch of the new "Sandy Bridge" processor line.
Macbook Air could foretell death of hard drives
Apple's decision to use SSD technology rather than a hard drive in the new Macbook Air - and Steve Jobs' pronouncement that it represents the future of notebooks - could hasten the replacement of traditional drives with NAND flash technology.
Enterprise IT should take a stand on consumer technology
Ten years ago, most people used more advanced technology when they went to work than they did at home. Today, that has been turned on its head. Many employees have newer technology at home than at work, and they expect IT support for many of their favorite devices.

Sunday's blizzard caused travel hiccups across much of eastern Iowa, especially in Jones County, but thanks to group of Jones County Snowchasers they rescued over a dozen stuck drivers.
Jones County Sheriff, Greg Graver says the group played an active role in helping them, help motorists.
"I'm going to estimate that we probably had around 40 vehicles in the ditch," said Sheriff Graver. "The snowchasers and their grooming machine were completely responsible for going in and getting people out and bringing them to us."
Terry Brownell, Jones County Snowchasers president says they dispatched their snow groomer to the Highway 1 and Highway 151 area.
He says the snow groomer normally moves snow to create paths for their snow mobiles and other recreational uses, but that wasn't the case Sunday.
"We had people going out to vehicles on other county roads and highways and getting people out of their vehicles and taking them to a local shelter," said Brownell.
There were about eight members of the snowchasers team helping.
What made Sunday night so difficult Graver says, was the large volume of stranded people in cars over a widespread area.
Police departments and fire departments practically turned into motels for stuck drivers
"We just had more people in trouble than we were able to reach," said Graver.
More than half of the Jones County Sheriff's staff were out responding to calls starting early Sunday evening, but the conditions started deteriorating, and even their 4-wheel dive vehicles were getting stranded.
Sheriff Graver says the snowchasers were a very valuable tool in the success of extricating so many people in the bad conditions.

Le Groupement des Chefs d'Entreprise du Québec (Québec Business Owners Group) held its Annual Congress at Hilton Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, Québec, Canada, where it required an edge-blended presentation to deliver addresses to the network of 1,500 business owners and future owners. Staging for the event was provided by Duocom Canada, Inc, an event company that manages approximately 500 events per year.
"The theme this year was 'Building my capital in the five key sectors of my life: professional and social commitments; significant links; physical, psychological, and spiritual health; personal finances; and recreation/leisure,'" says Sonya Turcotte, director of the provincial towns and partners network of Le Groupement des Chefs d'Entreprise du Québec. "The Congress was a great success with 460 people attending consisting mainly of corporate managers or aspiring managers with their families."
Yannick Provencher, regional operation manager of Duocom, says the Groupement and Duocom have a longstanding relationship that brought this project about. "Our client wanted a big visual impact for this meeting," he says. "We achieved that by using a 60'×14' screen for the presentation." On the screen, projected content was achieved via four Analog Way EventiX™ with cross-blender for soft-edge blending, Analog Way Show Manager, a Sony DFS-700 Video switcher, an Extron CrossPoint Ultra 1616 Ultra-Wideband Matrix Switcher, and four Panasonic PT-D7700 DLP projectors.
Two Sony PCM-D50 cameras, a Fujinon 36x lens, two Denon DN-V210 DVD players, and four Toshiba Tecra A9 laptops rounded out the video gear. "We had the computer, camera, and DVD as sources," says Provencher. "With the blending feature in the EventiX, we were able to achieve an impressive blend without seeing the edge on the four projectors." Lighting for the event included Clay Paky Alpha Spot HMEs, NSI dimmers, ETC Source Four Zoom 25°-50° units, Philips D-Line 18-LED bars, Colortran 1kW and 2kW Fresnels, pre-hung PARs, and ACL bars, controlled via a Compulite Spark 4D console.
But the event was not without challenges. "Background content on the screen was not done properly," says Provencher. "The content information appeared too low on the screen, so it was hidden from the stage. Since the screen was 1' off the floor, our solution was to do picture-in-picture with the EventiX to be able to see the content information, so it could be higher on the screen and out of the way of the stage."
As for results, Provencher says, "Having more technology on the presentation side makes events more interesting for the audience, and the impact is always positive."

Hudson, 94, has been selling the buttercups for more than 50 years.
Though times have changed, the simplicity of her fundraiser hasn't. A handmade sign sits at the edge of the road announcing that the flowers are for sale. A bucket is attached to accept donations from any passers-by who stop and pick a bouquet.
"It has been a blessing, and it's not just mine. It's the community's now. Everybody has helped me with them," Hudson said.
Hudson calls her buttercups "the old-fashioned kind" because they seem to be hardier than the ones she buys in stores these days.
The original plants came from Hudson's mother and a neighbor.
Hudson separated them for years to help them multiply. Although she is no longer so active in maintaining them, she estimates that there are currently more than a dozen varieties growing wild around her house.
Hudson began cultivating the flowers shortly after she and her husband built their home on 18th Street NW in 1945.
They were in full bloom when he died in late February 1983. Buttercups adorned his casket and the pallbearers at the funeral.
"It's a sad time for me when I remember that, but we've had so much fun with them all through the years," Hudson said.
Hudson added that she didn't plant the flowers with the intention of selling them.
She only wanted to make her home look beautiful but did such a good job that people started asking to buy some of the bulbs.
Hudson wouldn't accept any money for them at first. Then she realized that she could use what she earned to benefit others.
Last year, the buttercup giveaway brought in more than $200. Hudson elected to donate the money to local tornado victims.
This year, the proceeds will once again go toward home missions.
"I say it's like going out there and picking up dollar bills. It's that simple," Hudson said.

Eight years ago the Thrive by Five program, which provides activities to help the children in the Riverside community, ages 3-5, prepare for kindergarten, was started at Riverside School District.
"It is so much fun to help the children learn. I enjoy watching the 'aha' moments when they have mastered learning,"said Roxanne Robertson, who has been an instructor in the program since its inception.
With all the activities she provides the children, having fun with learning is her priority.
"Roxanne provides much joy and laughter in the preschool room," said Program Director Janet
"The parents are so supportive to reinforce the learning that we are doing at school," Robertson added. "They are great."
High school students have opportunities to assist Robertson in the program. Students receive .50 credit per semester for their participation.
Freshmen Jada and Taylor, who both want to do work in child development careers when they are finished with high school, are helping during one of their class periods.
"It is fun to watch the children interact with each other,"said Taylor.
Jada said her favorite time with the children is "Center Time,"when they do hands-on learning through crafts, pictures and projects.
Each day the Riverside preschool program focuses on five domains: Physical Health, Well-Being and Motor Development, Social and Emotional Development, Approaches Towards Learning, Cognition and General Knowledge and Language, and Communication and Learning. Each session is two hours in length at the cost of $5 per session.
Class enrollment is limited to eight students per session, offering sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Children must be potty-trained prior to enrollment.
Parents are encouraged to read to their children at home, as the more a child is read to, the better his or her reading comprehension once they enter grade school. Parents receive information about what their child learned at school, so they can reinforce that learning at home.
The children enjoy field trips to the fire station, the dental office and other areas of interest. They participate in seasonal activities and culminate the year with a graduation ceremony for those students ready for kindergarten.
For more information, call Janet Kemp at 464-8204.

One of the most fearsome linebackers in the entire league is ready to make his grand return (again).
When Brian Cushing is wired for sound, you know you're in for a treat. Take a listen at what he had to say before and during the Texans' game last Sunday.
Gary Kubiak, Brian Cushing, and DeAndre Hopkins had plenty to say after day one of training camp.
Brian Cushing had an MRI done on his knee. Should Texans fans be concerned?
In chapter nine, Scott makes a major break in the Nash investigation, and possibly his ribs. He learns about the crime that took place before the murder, and a voice from the past brings possibly...
Chapter Eight of Checkdown begins with Scott confessing what he's been doing in his spare time...sort of. Also, Sheridan confronts Scott; for what exactly, you'll have to read and find out!
Chapter Seven of Checkdown takes place at the wake of fallen Texans quarterback Eliot Nash. We meet the widow Nash and a secret is revealed.
Once a vocal critic of Brian Cushing becoming a Houston Texan, one fan sends a note of appreciation to the best linebacker in the NFL in 2011.
Will Brian Cushing reprise his 2009 awesomeness, or have his shriveled, uhm, skills reduce his effectiveness?

(WMC-TV) - Some mid-south students honored a fellow classmate tonight.
The Millington Central football team battled Kirby High, in what was Millington's first game without one of their own.
Dana Payne's presence could be felt at tonight's game. Reminders of the 15-year-old Millington Central football player were almost everywhere.
The memory of Dana Payne from his number 87 on people's faces to signs, make it clear the 15-year-old Millington Central Sophomore will not be forgotten.
"We're going to score 87 points tonight for Dana," said one teammate.
"I got his number just to show respect. I didn't know him," stated student Kayla Hall. "I heard he was a good person though. I just came to support him," she added.
The game between Millington and Kirby was dedicated to Dana. But other schools like Briarcrest also showed their respect, with his initials in the middle of the football field.
"It means a lot to us. He was my friend," said one player.
Dana Payne died Tuesday after taking a hit at football practice.
A prayer for his family was said over the loudspeaker at the game, as everyone bowed their heads.
"The real hero her is his mother come out like she did," said Kirby Principal Dr. Reginald Williams.
Tameka Smith, Payne's mother, arrived with family and friends who carried a large photo of Dana.
"I would like to thank everyone who came out to the game to support Dana and the Millington Trojans," Smith said.
Tameka Smith, anxious to watch her son's team play, had one last thing to say before going into the stands.
"He may be a local star but he's a big star in my heart. He's a big star," she said.
Friends of Dana Payne told us he was friends with everyone. Now everyone is remembering him.
Dana Payne's Funeral arrangements are set. Visitation will be Monday from 5 to 8 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Millington, with the funeral Tuesday at 3 p.m. also at First Baptist of Millington.
Burial will follow at Northridge Woodhaven Cemetery in Millington.
A fund has also been set up in Dana Payne's name. You can donate to the Dana Payne Memorial Fund at any First Tennessee Bank or any First South Credit Union.

Manatee Habitat announces new director
Date: May 5, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Ron Turner has taken the position of executive director of Manatee County Habitat for Humanity, the organization announced this morning.
"I am excited to be part of this wonderful organization and look forward to helping Manatee Habitat build the organizational infrastructure necessary to build more houses for families in need," Turner said.
Before his newest role, Turner served as deputy chief of staff and district director U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, vice president for governmental issues and economic development with the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce and as an elected official in DeSoto County.
"After a thorough search, the Board feels confident that Ron is the right choice for leading our Habitat for Humanity affiliate as it reaches for bigger goals," said Manatee Habitat Board President Mike Kennedy. "We look forward to what the organization will be able to achieve with his experience leading nonprofit and governmental organizations."
Manatee Habitat is completing the final homes at Washington Park, a 12-home subdivision in Palmetto and will go on to build at Cortez Landings — a community of more than 50 homes in Bradenton.
Manatee County Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, ecumenical, Christian, volunteer-based organization dedicated to building homes in partnership with low-income families who need safe, decent, affordable housing. For more information, visit www.manateehabitat.org.

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) -- Authorities say another suspect in the murders of a Paradise Valley couple last year is in custody.
Paradise Valley police said Wednesday that 29-year-old Barry Michael Hassell II is being held on $1 million bond. Police say Hassell has been booked into the Maricopa County Jail in downtown Phoenix on suspicion of homicide, burglary and conspiracy. Authorities believe Hassell was the driver for Michael Crane, who's accused of killing Lawrence and Glenna Shapiro on Jan. 30, 2012. The bodies of the well-to-do philanthropists in their 70s were found tied up and burned beyond recognition in their home and their luxury car was stolen. Police say their ongoing investigation of the case led to a grand jury indictment against Hassell. Authorities didn't immediately know Wednesday if Hassell has a lawyer yet.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

Next season, Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith will continue to throw the ball around to former high school teammates Stedman Bailey and Ivan McCartney, but now there seems to be a new Miramar alum for Smith to target.
Devonte Mathis (Miramar, FL / Miramar), a talented 6'1" 205-pound physical wide receiver, verbally committed Tuesday morning to Head Coach Dana Holgorsen and the Mountaineers.
Mathis ranks as a three-star prospect on Rivals.com and the 61st overall WR in the nation. The Mountaineers beat out some major football programs for his services, as Florida State, Louisville, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio State, South Florida, UCF, UCLA and Wake Forest all tendered scholarships.
He becomes the 19th commitment in the 2012 class for WVU and the fifth wide receiver commitment, joining Deontay McManus (Baltimore, MD / Dunbar), Darreal Joyner (Miami, FL / Miami Central), Devonte Robinson (Delray Beach, FL / Village Academy) and Trevor Williams (Towson, MD / Calvert Hall).
