With practical implications for imaging systems and biomedical testing, a Taiwanese research team has achieved a record high-oscillation frequency with a new type of high electron mobility transistor, or HEMT. The frequency of 710 GHz could also be used to improve image resolution in remote atmospheric sensing and space exploration, say the researchers working under Edward Chang, material science and engineering professor at National Chiao Tung University.

"I'm not in true period costume. But the costumes are suggestive of the period."
Robert Evan
"People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true."
Robert J. Ringer
"If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?"
Chuck Palahniuk
"The arts and inventions of each period are only its costume, and do not invigorate men."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"We said how about if we make it a Wild West thing? The costumes are way fun."
Carol Escobar
"You suddenly lay on wigs and jewelry and costumes, and sometimes I feel incredibly . . . tied down. . . . It's not the fault of the costumer. It's just what we're dealing with,"
Angela Reed
"I suggest that it be used like a trunk full of fabric samples or a box of costume jewelry - it is not to be read through from beginning to end in search of a cohesive argument, but to be rummaged about in, in search of something interesting or striking."

Comment: Re:Or maybe it was aliens (Score 1) 105
Draws a crowd? Part of the message only. Stories like these generally cover much more than a singular issue like popularity. I see also the article demonizing certain cartels as part of the message. I'm not claiming the drug cartels are good guys by that statement. I'm claiming that the cartel pushing for prohibition of certain narcotics creates the black markets. Meanwhile the guys making some drugs illegal approves and sells their own drugs, which more often than not get used for the same purpose as what they prohibit.
I didn't read the full article because the headline describes itself as "one possible theory". I'm sure I could find other hidden gems in the full article, but today I lack the time to dissect and absorb a new conspiracy theory (not intended as derogatory).

Main, the restaurant that anchored the complex, was open last weekend for Shellabration, Greenport's two-day mollusk festival. On Monday, however, the restaurant's executive chef, Greg Ling, received an email from Luce saying that Main was closed indefinitely. (The other venues had already...

Need help picking out places to dine late Sept in Kauai I love all good food
- drewb123 Jun 23, 2007 10:25 PM

Might want to have a look at: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/334698, for some high-end reviews on Kaua`i (Poipu Area). They are the first several of about 14 reviews in that thread.
For more "family-oriented" fare, there have been some excellent threads over the last few months, that will fill in the blanks. There have also been a half-dozen threads on N. Kaua`i dining, though the results of those dining experiences seem to be less rewarding.
re: drewb123
I'm sorry, drewb123, but I do not understand your comment. The reviews that I cited are from Chowhound and were posted in Nov, '06, less than six months back. The suggestions for a Search on Chowhound>Elsewhere in America will reveal some reviews (some of the same, and some of similar) of restaurants on Kaua`i. None of these is from a 'blog. Now, if you want last month's reviews, well, I have not seen too many. Other than the Plantation Gardens posts (fairly recent, but could be 60-90 days ago), most of the reviews are 6+ months back. While a restaurant can certainly change, night to night, you are not likely to find reviews that were done the day before you leave for your trip.
re: Bill Hunt
Wow...I just read your wonderfully thorough and detailed review. Thank you! I wish I could eat like you did. This will surely come in handy for me!
I posted a query about Kauai in May. Here's the thread: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/399980
re: slowfoodgrrl
I was on Kaui last week but stayed on the north (Princeville/Hanalei) end, not south (Poipu) end. In Hanalei, Postcards is very good (vegetarian plus seafood) and Polynesia Cafe is truly terrible. Pick up the latest copy of 'The Ultimate Kaui Guidebook" and you won't go wrong.

OK, so we need to branch out... just not too far! So I figured I'd start a thread where we can still discuss our common friendships but not heaping it all under the banner of our former host.
Retards... how's it hanging? (OK, don't go nuts on that one.) But I thought we could drag non-colonies chat down into here. |

Just a programming note - I'lll be leaving this Friday for a month back east. First Dayton, Ohio for 3 weeks then a short run over to DC - to see son get sheepskin from Univ of Maryland. And in the middle - ride any pathetic mountain that might have a lift open - like Wolf Creek locally did this weekend! |

He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
It's a nice, cool morning here at TCF Bank Stadium, where the Gophers will kick off against Western Illinois at 11 a.m.
Minneapolis+MN+55455:4:US?pagenum=1&nextbeginIndex=0">Weather.com says it'll be 64 degrees at kickoff. It'll be cloudy during the game, but the rain is supposed to hold off until later tonight.
It'll be interesting to see how competitive Western Illinois can make this game under first-year coach Bob Nielson, who won two national championships at Minnesota-Duluth. Here's Patrick Reusse's column on Nielson.
Here's my preview story, with a focus on how the Big Ten is trying to do away with these games against FCS teams. And here's my prediction.
Western Illinois is 2-0 after wins over Hampton and Division II Quincy. The Leathernecks have a player named Hi-C Scott, a junior college transfer who had three catches of more than 20 yards against Quincy.
The Gophers are wearing their gold jerseys and maroon pants today.
Donnell Kirkwood (sprained ankle) isn't expected to play, but he moved around great during warm-ups.

Hi i'm Ashley and i was Just wondering, why did you vote for him?
For those who voted for Obama
Why do i support Barack Obama
To coin a phrase "Let me count the ways"
1. Hes believes in affordable healthcare for everyone even people with pre-existing conditions such as me and my younger son.
2. Hes for lower taxes on the lower income workers and families so that we actually have a chance to better our lives and provide a good future for our kids.
3. Hes for helping make sure we all get a college education so that we have a better chance for a good future for ourselves and our children.
4. Hes for safely ending this ridiculous war and bringing our loved ones home safe and alive.
5. He is a loving, compassionate family man and he understands how we love our families and worry for our childrens futures.
6. Hes in touch with and understands the hardships of all Americans, not just one group or another.
I know that he wont be able to do EVERYTHING that hes campaining for but if hes able to accomplish even one of them it will be a betterment for our society. Every little bit counts in life and at the very least he wants to try when the other candidates arent even willing to try.
I feel hes a great man for the young men in our society to look up to, especially the young fathers. This is a man who isnt afraid to let loose and just hang out and have fun with his kids. Very few of the prominent men in our society have shown such a good example of fatherhood. As well as being a good husband, he shows you can be a great father, a succesful man, and not beat or cheat on your wife.
For fun I thought I would google "Republican Jokes" to share. It kept giving me the names of the Republicans running for President.
wow i probably started something i'm not very political at all but i disagree with voters just filling in blanks when it's voting time and i'm sure there are alot that simple do that.
Good point Wess. I wanted Hilary too. I agreed with her on more issues than any other candidate specifically women's rights and gay marriage. I kind of liked Ron Paul too.
My husband complains that I always correct him. How does he think I feel living with someone who is always wrong?
I thought he was for bringing our troops home too. Guess we were wrong on that one.
My husband complains that I always correct him. How does he think I feel living with someone who is always wrong?
I voted for him because I have a huge crush on him and want to have his love child.
And because he's black.
And because he's a socialist and a Muslim.
Obama is 50%white 43.75 arabic and 6.25% african negro
I thought he was for bringing our troops home too. Guess we were wrong on that one.
I thought I heard on CNN this afternoon he was going to bring them all home in 2011. Maybe the news changed within the last hour.
He is sending 3000 troops to stabilize the country before we pull out... well, that is what was said this afternoon... Maybe I misunderstood the story.
Married 7 yrs- Mom to Leila (6 yrs old), Ismael (4 yrs old), Safiya (born 4/12/10)
If my choices for President were the following:
1. A flea infested monkey
2. A lame horse
3. Sarah Palin
...then I would vote for the monkey, but be okay if the horse got elected.
I voted for the President because I believed that he had a vision for the country that was best for the United States and for the world.
Gee. Bashing Sarah Palin. How original.
I thought he was for bringing our troops home too. Guess we were wrong on that one.
He never suggested he'd bring them home from Afghanistan. During the election he made it clear that he supported increasing troops in Afghanistan if necessary.

Zion Oil & Gas Signs Agreement For Field Seismic Acquisition And Agreement Enabling Drilling Of The Ma'anit-Joseph #3 Well
DALLAS and CAESAREA, Israel, May 25, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZN) announced today that it recently signed an agreement with Kibbutz Ma'anit, the leaseholder of the land containing Zion's planned next well, the Ma'anit-Joseph #3 well. Under the terms of the agreement, Kibbutz Ma'anit grants Zion access to Kibbutz land and permission to drill the Ma'anit-Joseph #3 well.
The Ma'anit-Joseph #3 well, scheduled to "spud" (that is, begin drilling) in August 2010, is planned to be drilled below 18,000 feet and is targeted at the 'deep' Permian geologic formation. If successful, it will be the first well drilled to the Permian in Northern Israel. The commencement of the drilling program is still subject to receipt of various government permits.
Zion Oil & Gas also announced today that it has signed an agreement with the Geophysical Institute of Israel relating to the acquisition of a total of approximately 64 kilometers of two-dimensional seismic lines located within Zion's Issachar-Zebulun Permit area and Zion's Asher-Menashe License area.
Zion's Chief Executive Officer, Richard Rinberg, said today, "The signing of the agreement with Kibbutz Ma'anit allows us to move forward with our plans to drill our next well, the Ma'anit-Joseph #3 well. We are also pleased to have been able to come to terms with the Geophysical Institute of Israel regarding the field acquisition of additional seismic lines in our petroleum exploration areas. The proposed seismic acquisition should help us to evaluate the next steps we need to take with respect to our temporarily suspended Elijah #3 well and also to identify one or more prospects within our Issachar-Zebulun Permit area." Zion's common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "ZN" and Zion's warrants trade under the symbol "ZNWAW". Zion Oil & Gas, a Delaware corporation, explores for oil and gas in Israel in areas located on-shore between Haifa and Tel Aviv. It currently holds two petroleum exploration licenses, the Joseph and the Asher-Menashe Licenses, between Netanya, in the south, and Haifa, in the north, covering a total of approximately 162,000 acres and the Issachar-Zebulun Permit Area, adjacent to and to the east of Zion's Asher-Menashe license area, covering approximately 165,000 acres. Zion's total petroleum exploration rights area is approximately 327,000 acres.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Marco Rubio on Lil Wayne's Tupac Claims: "There's Only One Tupac" (VIDEO)
Categories: Music News
TMZ accosted a friendly and chatty Rubio at Reagan National Airport and asked him about the whole Lil Wayne-Miami dis debacle. Specifically, they addressed whether Tunechi is the new Tupac, as he claimed at Birdman's birthday party last week. And he got deep on the subject. "There's only one Tupac," he said, adding that rappers like Lil Wayne are just entertainers, but 'Pac? "I think Tupac was more someone that was trying to inform us what was going on, and he did it through entertainment."

The Next Bubble to Burst: Bonds
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Investing in bonds has proven to be a home run for 30 years, but the bubble is primed to pop.
The BarCap U.S. Government Aggregate Treasury Index has had an average annual return of 8.5% over three decades. Bonds' gains accelerated during the Great Recession, performance that attracted inflows. In fact, since April of last year, new money flowing into bond funds has far outpaced that of equity funds.
Going back further, bonds have benefited from the tailwind of falling interest rates since the Reagan administration in the 1980s. With yields on the benchmark Treasury bond now near record lows -- around 2% -- any increase will spell losses for investors.
As soon as the Federal Reserve begins raising interest rates, even by a small amount, investors run the risk of losing money. Longer-dated bonds will fare the worst. For example, a study by United Capital shows that the price of a 30-year Treasury bond will fall by 20% given an increase of 1% in interest rates.
Investors have taken advantage of improved bond returns by buying bond funds and ETFs. These are very different creatures. Bond mutual funds act more like stocks than bonds in that they don't have a maturity date or guarantee of a return of principal. Ron Weiner, CEO of RDM Financial, says the "share" price of the bond fund will fluctuate based on two things: the quality of bonds and interest rates. Rising interest rates will have a particularly negative impact on these funds because managers must continually trade bonds to keep the fund alive since the funds don't mature. Therefore, principals will decline, hurting returns. Not helping matters is that managers will buy lower-yielding issues as high-yielding bonds mature. Weiner explains that most of the returns in bond funds over the past few years have come from capital appreciation as prices went up on declining yields. A much smaller portion has been related to the return from interest rates. Protecting against interest rate risk will be important for investors going forward. It's important to understand that bonds aren't 100% risk-free and must also be actively managed. While certain bonds and bond funds are riskier asset classes to own today, there are ways you can invest in bonds and still achieve attractive returns. Working with a professional adviser to balance your portfolio of stocks, bonds and cash is recommended to get the right mix. Joe Duran, CEO of United Capital, says "whether this bull market in bonds continues for another decade or not, it will make no difference to the fact that it is mathematically impossible for your future returns to look like the past. Therefore, your future actions should be different from your past actions." -- Written by Lindsey Bell in New York. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to Lindsey Bell.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Last month, Youngstown State's athletic department released its list of top 10 stories from 2013-14.
The top story was the terrific stretch from April 24-May 24 when the Penguins won four conference championships (women's tennis, baseball and men's and women's track and field) and a bunch of individual and coaching awards.
The 10th story was the Penguins' academic performance, with student-athletes averaging a 3.07 grade point average — best since joining the Horizon League in 2001-02.
In between, the list highlighted track All-Americans, Penguin Club support and a strong performance by YSU's women's programs. But outside of quarterback Kurt Hess getting lumped in with a group of seven record-breaking seniors (that story was No. 3 on the list), the school's biggest sport was missing from the top 10.
This, obviously, is a problem. And I'm not sure it's going away this fall.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference preseason football poll was due on Wednesday. I voted YSU fifth in the 10-team league, behind three-time national champion North Dakota State (whose longtime coach, Craig Bohl, was hired away by Wyoming because a bunch of brain-dead athletic directors from bigger FBS schools decided not to pursue him), Northern Iowa (which managed to beat the Penguins last year without its starting quarterback or its starting running back because this is what UNI does to YSU), South Dakota State (last seen crushing the Penguins in a season-ending snowstorm) and Southern Illinois (which did YSU two favors in the last year by collapsing in the second half of last year's football game, then hiring away Randy "Don't call me 'One-and-Dunn' because I was only there for seven months" Dunn to clear the path for Jim Tressel's return).
I have no idea if YSU is actually the fifth-best team — it's July 18, after all — but after watching the Penguins' defense get shredded in the spring game, it's hard to go any higher, especially since my preseason all-league picks included just two Penguins and they were both on special teams: kick returner Andre Stubbs and long snapper Nathan Gibbs, who has no chance of winning this since Illinois State Chris Highland just made The Sports Network's preseason All-America list.
This is Eric Wolford's fifth season. While he's boosted his win totals every year, he's also missed the playoffs every year. He's expected to sign a two-year extension through the 2017 season — YSU had to wait for Tressel to come on board first, I'm told — but having someone like Tressel watching from the president's loge isn't going to ease the pressure.
Nor is finishing fifth.
Preseason polls are more a measure of what you've done than what you can do. YSU's defense could get it together under new coordinator Jamie Bryant. Redshirt freshman QB Ricky Davis could become a more athletic version of Kurt Hess, who was the MVFC freshman of the year in 2010. YSU's offense could (and probably should) put up big numbers.
YSU has made the playoffs once since Tressel left. While it's nice to win Horizon League titles, having a good women's tennis team (or even a surprising baseball team) doesn't excite fans like a good football team. If YSU misses the playoffs for the eighth straight year, it won't be one of the best stories of the year.
But it will be one of the biggest.
Joe Scalzo covers Youngstown State for The Vindicator. Write to him at email@example.com or follow him on Twitter @JoeScalzo1.
Wolford has shown he can recruit, but his ability to KEEP what he recruits is in question as is his ability to get the most out of what he keeps.
Coach Wolford will have completed 7 years by 2017.
As of the end of year 4, he and his predecessor (Coach Heacock) had identical won-lost records--24-21.
During his next 3 years, Coach Heacock added 26 more wins, a playoff run to the semi-final and 2 conference titles.
Any guess on where Coach Wolford will end up?

Graphics card suggestions

Posted June 29, 2011 at 7:47PM
My computer's graphics card died a short while ago so I decided to upgrade. I just needed some help on what you would suggest for my set up. I would like to run new games on high settings and have a budget of about £100-200, however if I can steer away from the £200 mark that would help me a lot. My last card was a 1GB GeForce 9800GT. I saw this 2GB card but I'm unsure about it because of its low price and high memory. Seems like it must fall short in some other way at this price. Also I use 1440x900 resolution but my monitor is capable of 1080i. Thanks in advance.

Always useful to mention your motherboard, the card you have selected is an excellent card, but there is little point in a top spec GPU if the rest of your pc is crap.
You are making a big leap from the 9800GT to the 560, you will need to factor in your power supply which should be at least 550w.
If you want to post the rest of your PC specs or make/model I'll hopefully give you a better answer.

Your chip is probably the Core™ 2 Quad Q6600 and you have plenty of power,though if it is a cheap PSU that might not be the case,all in all the card you have chosen should be fine with the rest of your components.

Yep it's the Q6600. The PSU isn't the best but worked well in the past. I think I will upgrade that too though just to be sure. Thanks for your help!

text: 1. "Least Repairable Laptop Ever" That was the judgment of IFixIt, a popular online gadget repair manual, which gave it a 1 out of 10 on the site's scale for ease of repair or upgrade. You got that right. For starters, among Apple's innovative design decisions was to fuse the fancy new Retina display to the case and remove the protective glass layer in front. This makes it more vulnerable to damage, and means you're basically screwed if it does get damaged. The RAM is soldered to the board and cannot be replaced or upgraded after purchase. The SSD hard drive is proprietary and cannot, as of yet, be upgraded by the user. And the battery is glued to the case, preventing replacement. With previous models, you could drop by the Apple Store and pick up a new battery right off the shelf. Now, it appears Apple's solution to virtually any hardware issue is likely to mimic their approach to iPhone, iPad and iPod repairs, namely, "we'll take that, here's a new one." Even hardcore Apple enthusiasts on sites like Appleinsider.com are advising that AppleCare, the company's extended warranty, is a must have here (for an extra $350, of course). And best keep all that "personal" content (you know what we're talking about) off your internal drive, lest it be viewed by your neighborhood Apple geniuses the first time you have a problem and have to hand over your whole machine for replacement.

Blame Game: Everybody who dislikes ObamaCare is being duped by GOP propaganda, says President Obama. That must include all those unions calling it a disaster, and all those who've lost jobs and pay because of the law.
Telemundo, the only news outlet that appears willing to ask Obama a tough question, pressed him this week about polls showing most Americans oppose ObamaCare. "Is everybody wrong?" the host asked.
"Yes, they are," Obama responded. The problem, he said, isn't his law. It's those evil Republicans who've spent "billions of dollars ... misinforming people."
Let's leave aside the fact that the Obama administration has spent a king's ransom promoting ObamaCare, and that Democrats and the liberal press have devoted three years to extolling its alleged virtues, and the fact that the public never supported this law to begin with.
Truth is, ObamaCare is a rolling disaster that is creating new enemies every day as its harmful effects ripple through the economy.
This week, the prestigious Cleveland Clinic announced plans to lay off as many as 3,000 workers "to prepare for health care reform." And hundreds of franchise owners came to Washington to explain how ObamaCare's employer mandate will force many of them to cut worker hours to avoid its massive costs.
Last week, Connecticut's Lawrence and Memorial Hospital cut dozens of jobs, citing "massive structural change" brought on by ObamaCare. More than a dozen other hospitals have recently announced job cuts.
That same week, the AFL-CIO voted overwhelmingly for a resolution calling ObamaCare "highly disruptive," despite concerted efforts on the part of the White House to convince labor leaders not to do so.
Other unions have been far less polite.
Then there are the jobs killed by ObamaCare's excise tax on medical devices. Last fall, device maker Stryker Corp. laid off 1,170 workers because of that tax — which both Democrats and the GOP are now trying to repeal.
IBD has been cataloguing businesses, public institutions and local governments that have cut jobs or worker hours specifically citing ObamaCare. That list is now more than 250.
Other companies are cutting benefits for part-time workers, spouses, early retirees or their entire workforce, because of ObamaCare. Every one of those workers has a good reason to want the law killed.
On top of this, the public may be noticing the growing pile of ObamaCare's broken promises. Among them:
Family premiums haven't gone down by $2,500 annually, as Obama repeatedly said they would. They've gone up $2,976.
Workers are increasingly finding that they can't keep the health plans they like, despite Obama's pledge that they can.
ObamaCare is adding to federal budget deficits, as IBD recently reported, even though Obama claimed it would cut red ink.
The law is hurting small businesses, not helping them.
The public even might have noticed that Obama himself has shown the law to be seriously flawed.
According to the Congressional Research Service, he repealed, changed or delayed pieces of ObamaCare 19 times. That includes the employer mandate, the verification rules, the limit on out-of-pocket costs, and the ability for workers at small companies to have a choice of plans in the exchanges.
None of this has anything to do with Republican propaganda.
Neither is Obama's oft-repeated claim true that Republicans have no alternative to ObamaCare. This week, conservative lawmakers introduced a package of reforms they've long advocated that would cut health costs, make insurance more affordable and protect those with pre-existing conditions.
The public's dislike of ObamaCare is real, and it is well-deserved. Now it's up to Republicans to seize on this and stop the law before it can live down to their expectations.
On Wednesday, the fate of ObamaCare is in front of the Supreme Court again. At stake are the subsidies intended to make ObamaCare plans "affordable." The letter of the law allows consumers to get subsidies only in the 14 states that set up their own exchanges, not in the rest that didn't. But the ...
'I have Israel's back." President Obama claimed during the 2012 campaign. But this week, Obama and his administration are turning their back on Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu during his visit to Washington. While the prime minister won't have a meeting at the White House, he will have a ...

To the Editor:
Thomas L. Friedman (column, May 23) attributes the Asian financial crisis to government corruption, and political reform to the demands of global capitalists. Surely the recent financial upheavals in the region could not have resulted simply from the sudden effects of corruption. They indicate a role by audacious, profit-minded and skittish international money managers and speculators. These are apostles of laissez-faire, not of reform.
Global capital flows do contribute to growth, as Mr. Friedman suggests. But in East Asia, the savings rate has been high and the export balance favorable; productivity has been growing, and markets are open as demanded by international institutions.
Part of the problem was that large inflows of short-term capital in search of high returns were more than the region needed and led to market failure.
New York, May 23, 1998

When considering the option of landscaping a property, it is ideal to look at three important variables. The most important factor will be what benefits there are to gain from professional landscaping. Being aware of the pitfalls can also play a significant role when purchasing a landscaping contract. Failure to recognize these pitfalls can result in both the loss of time and money. Pricing can also be a main concern while shopping for a landscaping contract. It is important to consider the reasons for the cost when the least expensive contract seems the most appealing. A thorough examination of these variables will help you make the best decisions regarding your property.
The look and feel of a business can be an important feature for impressing first-time customers and keeping old ones returning. A great way to accomplish this is by hiring a professional landscaper to come and make your business look more appealing. Another advantage of landscaping is preventative maintenance to avoid flooding. This can only be accomplished with a well-designed landscaping plan, which can be easily created by a professional.
Visual Appeal
With any type of landscaping company or professional, you can begin to collaborate and detail the type of landscaping style you want. This can depend on what type of business you run, and it can vary depending on the location's style (e.g. Asian, European, etc.) to a conservative standard. This custom landscaping will impress customers and show that your company takes care and pride in its work.
Flood Prevention
With the help and design of a professional landscaper, you can prevent one of the most common types of natural disasters—flooding. With proper routing, you can divert the natural flow of a drainage area to a completely different area and direction to avoid the many types of damage resting or collecting water can do.
Landscaping also provides a way to use old building materials and recycle them into new forms of decoration and design. "Prairie Tree Landscaping and Bielinski Homes are showing great success with their recycling program," commented Susan Buchanan, executive director of WasteCap Wisconsin, a nonprofit waste management organization working with Prairie Tree Landscaping and Bielinski Homes. "They're saving money through avoided disposal costs, and they've exceeded their goal by recycling 60% of their construction waste material."
No matter what the goal of hiring a professional landscaper is, the result will always be an increase in visual appeal and preventative maintenance to avoid future headaches. With certain companies, you can even help save the environment by using recycled material to aid in the landscaping process.
Hiring an Unlicensed Contractor
Avoid hiring an unlicensed contractor to landscape your business property. If you hire an unlicensed worker, your company will be held liable for any damages, injuries, and accidents that occur on the property. Ask to see a certificate showing the license and insurance. Ask for a list of referrals before you hire the company to work for you. Ask if there is a high rate of injury while on the job.
Choosing the Lowest Price
Don't choose the lowest price on landscape construction simply to save money. All landscapers pay for materials used. Cheaper costs mean cheaper labor. Cheaper labor can mean they take shortcuts in getting the job done. Certain jobs require specific time frames in order to get the job done correctly. If a company offers a much lower bid than everyone else, you will be paying for cheap labor. Miscalculations in the initial bid can also be the result of cheaper costs, or the landscaper may not be including some of the required work that other contractors are looking for.
Make sure any work done for you carries a warranty. Warranties will prevent you from having the burden of repairing cracks or other problems that may later develop in your sidewalks or stone masonry as a result of poor workmanship. If the labor is cheap, the workers may be cutting quality. This can result in landscaping that needs restoration or repair within the first year.
Never Pay Up Front
If a company asks for full payment up front before the job has been completed or before the job begins, it may be a warning sign. It is not uncommon for individuals to claim they are contractors, take your money, and never complete the job. Therefore, you should never pay more than 50% of a job's cost prior to completion.
According to Wikipedia.org, one example of a branch of landscape architecture is landscape planning. Many of the modern parks and greenway systems planned by Frederick Law Olmsted are great examples of different types of planning done by urban landscapers. The cost of these projects can vary greatly depending on what materials are used. Many trees will cost between $100 and $200. If you are looking for a higher quality or larger tree, you may need to pay between $250 and $650. Another thing to remember about landscaping is the cost of labor for installing and planting the trees. Mulch can also be costly at approximately $70 per cubic yard.
When choosing a landscaping option, it is important to remember these three main variables. Professional landscaping can help a business retain and gain clients, alleviate the pains of flooding, and can even help the environment through recycling. Avoiding the pitfalls of landscaping can help to save both time and money and can even provide a better landscaping solution. The price of professional landscaping normally ranges from $100 to $200 and can even exceed that amount depending on the tasks that need to be accomplished. Pricing is also directly reflected in the quality of both the materials used and the work done by a contractor.
Do you need a little curb appeal outside of your apartment building? Are you looking for a way to make your office building look less stark and sterile? You could use a few bushes, trees and flowers. You need to hire a landscaping expert.
A landscaping professional does for your lawn and flower beds what an architect does for your building. He or she designs the layout of your bushes and flowers as well as adds hardscape features like water fountains, fences and statuary.
Look for a gardening professional that has experience with your kind of building. A quality gardening professional will take the time to listen to what you're looking for in the outdoor design and offer more than one plan from which you can choose. A quality gardening firm will come in at budget, leave the site clean and be available to answer any maintenance questions after the sale.
When searching for gardening professionals, it's wise to review the offerings of several different firms. Business.com features a large selection of such gardening design firms. Visit the links on the left to learn more about the products and services they offer.

Hello forum members, I have a couple of Locks in my tree: Benjamin Lock who I believe married my 1st cousin 6 times removed, Eve Budge, in 1787 in Isle Brewers, Somerset. John Lock, who married my 3xgreat grand aunt Harriet Budge in 1816 in Isle Brewers. They had at least two children Sarah Lock, 1817 and Marianne Lock, 1819. Have any of you ever run across these two Locks in your search? I would be interested in any information you have on them and their progeny. Thank you!

6 Groups That Are Reinventing Organized Labor
6.27.2014 | Josh Israel | ThinkProgress
Since 2007, NDWA has worked to organize nannies, housekeepers, and caregivers — many of whom work in a one-or-two-employer/one-employee relationship, behind closed doors in private homes.
Mariana Viturro, deputy director of the nonprofit organization, told ThinkProgress that alliance has focused on "worker-led grassroots campaigns."
"A lot of the success has been having workers share stories with legislators, really lifting up their voices through a communications strategy that's been most effective way to get bills through," she said. By advocating for state-level bills of rights for domestic workers — first in predominantly progressive states like California, Hawaii, and New York — the 10,000-plus members have been able to "legislate terms of employment that other workers are able to bargain for through contracts," by effectively "bargaining with the state on setting some standards for domestic work." Their efforts include not only ensuring basic rights (like paid leave), but also shifting cultural perceptions regarding the value of work.

Jose Luis Mendilibar was appointed Thursday as the new coach of La Liga side Levante on a one-year contract with an option for a second season, the Spanish club announced.
Osasuna and Valladolid were relegated to the Spanish second division on Sunday, but the final round of La Liga matches was overshadowed by the collapse of a barrier which injured 25 fans at Osasuna`s El Sadar stadium in Pamplona.
Real Madrid travel to Valladolid Wednesday night for one of the most important games of the season as they look to remain in the race for the Spanish Primera Liga title.
Atletico Madrid kick off the 34th round of La Liga Friday with a home game to Elche where Diego Simeone`s side will look to put the pressure on rivals Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
Leo Messi`s 66th goal ensured that FC Barcelona would be in the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they defeated Manchester City 2-1 to assure a 4-1 aggregate win.
Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino admitted he is worried about his side`s shocking away form since the turn of the year after they slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Valladolid on Saturday.
Barcelona slumped to their third defeat in seven league games as they lost away to relegation-threatened Valladolid 1-0 on Saturday.
Barcelona could be boosted by a return to the top of La Liga just three days before they host Manchester City in the Champions League with a win away to Valladolid on Saturday.
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique will be out for two weeks after picking up a calf injury in his side`s 3-1 defeat to Real Sociedad on Saturday, the club confirmed on Sunday.
Atletico Madrid moved clear at the top of La Liga, for a few hours at least, as two goals inside the first four minutes guided them to a 3-0 win over Valladolid.
Sevilla let slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Valladolid and Real Betis lost 2-1 at home to promoted Elche in La Liga on Sunday.
Real Madrid twice came from behind to emerge 3-2 winners over an impressive Valladolid side at the Zorilla stadium on Saturday evening.
Mark Cavendish credited Slovakian team mate Peter Velits for his third victory in the Tour of Spain after the Briton won the 18th stage from Valladolid.
Over the last 15 years world-class stars have come and gone at Real Madrid but local hero Raul has outlasted them all.

Gymnastics: Ranked Irish slip up at Lakeville
At times this season, Rosemount gymnastics coach Jason Passeri has talked about missed opportunities and leaving behind potential points because of falls or mistakes.
Lately those instances of missed chances have decreased as the Irish started to put things together.
It led to the Irish vaulting into the top 10 in the coaches' association rankings. Rosemount was No. 9 with an average 142.075.
Then Tuesday came, and a day later Passeri still didn't know what to say.

Lake Garda (Italian: Lago di Garda or Benaco) is the largest lake in Italy. It is located in Northern Italy, about half-way between Brescia and Verona, and between Venice and Milan. Glaciers formed this alpine region at the end of the last Ice Age. The lake and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona (to the southeast), Brescia (southwest), and Trentino (north). Being easily accessible from the north via the Brenner Pass, the lake is a major tourist destination, including a number of exclusive hotels and resorts along its shore.

I´m easy going, open minded, friendly and like to meet new people from all over the world!
Flor has completed online and offline ID verification.
Great location. Accessible by foot to most Barcelona attractions. Very convenient as it is close to the Metro, bakery, supermarket, cafes, pharmacy,etc. Very quiet and Flor is respectful of guest's privacy. She is very helpful in giving tips on how to make your stay in BCN enjoyable. I would recommend it to those who want to know Barcelona not just as a tourist destination but a place one call "home away from home".
My experience in Flor's apartment was very short but very good! The place is close to everything you need in Barcelona: groceries, metro station, walking distance from Plaça Catalunia, Las Ramblas, El Corte Ingles... If you don't mind walking a bit, that's the perfect place. As for the apartment itself, all was clean and organized and Flor is indeed an amazing host. The only down side is that the big, beautiful bathroom you see in the pictures is not the one you'll be using (I thought that should be specified). Also, the apartment can be a bit noisy (mostly due to the neighbors) and dark (there's not so much light coming in from the outside). Apart from that, I enjoyed my stay very much!
La estancia con Flor fue muy buena. Su piso esta muy bonito, muy bien cuidado y es muy agradable. Tiene muy buena ubicacion porque a la vuelta de su casa esta una estacion del metro. Flor siempre fue muy atenta para ayudar para cualquier cosa o pregunta que te surgiera. Me la pase muy agusto ahi.
We had a very pleasant stay at Flor's apartment. We visited Barcelona for 10 days and felt very comfortable in our room. The flat is clean and the room has a comfortable bed and a fan. The whole flat is equipped with air conditioning. The only little negative thing was that we couldn`t use the AC at night if the room still was very hot , because it would have cooled down all other rooms as well. Therefore, our bedroom sometimes was quite warm at night, since there is no window to the outside and thus no cool air. Still, there was a fan to help out. The apartment is located in a central and safe neighbourhood. Moreover, the apartment is very close to the Metro station. Flor was a very pleasant host. She helped us with all our questions. Still, we had all the privacy we needed. If we come back to Barcelona some day, we would definitely stay with her again! :-)
Flor's apartment was perfect, spacious comfortable and super clean and in the perfect location where everything is in walking distance .. Flor is a genuine nice person who makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in the door and who will go out of her way to help in any way she can... Highly recommend!
The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Excelente muy agradable, Flor se portó de primera conmigo la verdad muy grata mi estadía en su hogar . Nice!!
Flor was great-she was very accommodating and saved me from spending another night in a hostel. The room was perfect and private and it was nice to have a hot shower and access to a kitchen. The location was great and it was nice to be so close to a metro station. I don't smoke, so it was a bit different to live in a smoking home, but I knew that going in. Just an FYI for non-smokers. Flor was wonderful and helped me enjoy my time in Barcelona.
I came back to Barcelona and had no doubts where to stay again!!! As during my first stay, Flor was nice and friendly and apartment was perfect as always - cozy, tidy and clean! Other people in the apartment were nice, funny and friendly as well, so whole atmosphere was really great! I highly recommend Flor's place!
I stayed with Flor and her (website hidden) for 3 nights in late August 2012 and really enjoyed my visit. Her flat is light and airy and the room and all facilities are as per the description. Although I didn´t see much of Flor during my stay as we were on different schedules and I was out a lot, she was very helpful when I arrived, coming home from her work especially during her lunch break to let me in as I arrived in the middle of the day, and showing me her maps and guidebooks to help orientate visitors to the city. Her (website hidden) were also friendly and helpful with information about the city and how to use facilities in the flat eg laundry machine. Her cat Tango is also very cute. The air conditioning wasn´t working when I arrived so it was quite hot, but Flor had set up a fan in my room which worked fine, and the aircon was fixed by my last night there anyway. Overall I had a positive experience, no complaints and thanks once again Flor and your (website hidden) for hosting me, I enjoyed my stay! cheers Louise
Although I met Flor almost only upon arrival on her short visit to our gardenhouse, because I was working the other days, we were happy with our guest! She knew her way through Amsrterdam because she had lived here before and needed hardly any extra attention form us. Respective of the plece, left it in perfect condition, clean, highly thrustworthy, good communication beforehand. Very nice person and recommended as guest!
Flor has been for me one of my best guests. Her friendly and jovial character, her simplicity and cheerful personality won to me from the start. She is very polite, quiet and accurate, a highly recommended as guest
Flor is a friend, co-worker and I can honestly say, a great host! I've stayed in her spare room several times as well as met many people who have come and gone. Everyone I've spoken too seems delighted - not only by the central location and beautiful apartment, but mainly by Flor's charisma, she always goes above and beyond to make sure her guests feel at home. Barcelona being her hometown she is very familiar with the city and will always recommend great places to eat and things to do. But don't just take my word on it - try her place out yourselves!
I have stayed with Flor for 5 weeks and can wholeheartetly recommend her as a host- and the place as well. Flor is fun to be with, very helpful with any information about the nearabouts and Barceloan in general-she makes you feel staying at home instantly. Eixample is a great location, too!

Hot newsBuzz March 5, 2015Maggie Siu goes 'Gangnam Style'Babies March 3, 2015Maggie Siu Pregnant?News of actress Maggie Siu's death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the March 2015 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actress best known for her roles in Election or PTU is alive and well.UPDATE 05/03/2015 : This story seems to be false. (read more)Maggie Siu death hoax spreads on FacebookRumors of the actress's alleged demise gained traction on Tuesday after a 'R.I.P. Maggie Siu' Facebook page attracted nearly one million of 'likes'. Those who read the 'About' page were given a believable account of the actress's passing:"At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (March 03, 2015), our beloved actress Maggie Siu passed away.

And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actress of Maggie Siu's stature would be major news across networks.A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (93%) of respondents think those Maggie Siu death rumors are not funny anymore.Maggie Siu Death Hoax Dismissed Since Actress Is 'Alive And Well'On Wednesday (March 04) the actress' reps officially confirmed that Maggie Siu is not dead. "She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet," they said.Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved actress.
