PM outlines green commitment
Last updated at 14:49, Tuesday, 01 May 2012
LAST week Prime Minister David Cameron addressed the Clean Energy Ministerial meeting in London. Here are extracts from his speech.
"There are huge challenges facing governments across the world today, and one of the most important of all is how we meet our growing energy demands in a way that protects our planet for our children and grandchildren. This needs urgent attention and real global leadership."We urgently need a more diverse, cleaner mix of energy sources that will give us energy security without causing irreparable damage to the planet. Of course, nuclear energy, cleaner coal, oil and gas, including shale gas and carbon capture and storage will all have an important role to play.
"But I passionately believe that the rapid growth of renewable energy is also vital to our future. What unites us here today is that we not only share a principled commitment to renewables but that we have also been prepared to make the up-front investments in infrastructure needed to make wind, solar and bio-energy a viable option for the first time.
"Renewables are now the fastest growing energy source on the planet. And I am proud that Britain has played a leading role at the forefront of this green energy revolution.
"When I became Prime Minister, I said that Britain would have the greenest government ever. And that is exactly what we have. Today, we are one of the best places for green energy, for green electricity, for green investment and crucially for green jobs anywhere in the world.
"We have the world's first payments to business for generating renewable heat. The world's first dedicated green investment bank. A pioneering Carbon Capture and Storage Programme. The largest offshore wind market in the world.
"We are putting energy efficiency where it should be, at the heart of our energy policy – including by introducing our flagship Green Deal programme.
"And we are getting to grips with our electricity market, making the long term reforms necessary to attract investment into a balanced portfolio of new nuclear, gas, clean coal and renewable generation.
"As a result Britain has gone from virtually no capacity for renewables, to seeing them provide almost 10 per cent of our total electricity needs last year. And we've added more capacity for renewables in the last two years than at any time in the last decade.
"This deliberate investment in renewable energy isn't just good for our environment. It's good for our business too. In the last year alone we've seen announcements of £4.7bn of investment in UK renewables supporting 15,000 new jobs – including plans for several major new factories around our coast to help build the equipment and infrastructure needed for the next generation of offshore wind and marine energy. And just today six companies are announcing major progress on biomass and wind projects in the UK representing hundreds of millions of pounds of investment, more than a thousand gigawatts of new capacity and as many as 800 jobs during the peak of construction in the next few years.
"Our commitment and investment in renewable energy has helped to make renewable energy possible. Now we have a different challenge. We need to make it financially sustainable.
"For that to happen, we need to do three things. First, we need to get costs down. At a time when higher gas prices are leaving families and businesses struggling with their energy bills and when we are fighting to get to grips with our debts we don't just need greener energy – we need cheaper energy too.
"Today renewable energy is still relatively expensive. But government and industry are together proving that we can get costs down quickly. Already, solar costs have halved in two years. Onshore wind costs are falling too. And we are this week stepping up our efforts with industry to bring down the cost of offshore wind. As those costs fall so it is right that consumers should pay less in subsidies for new projects. I really believe that more mature renewable technologies can be among our cheapest energy sources within years, not decades. That's good for consumers. Good for our economy and good for our environment.
"Second, we need to make renewable energy a viable proposition globally. That means developing a proper global carbon price so that different energy sources can compete on a level playing field. Britain has the biggest generating potential for offshore renewables in Europe. We need a way of getting this power to where the demand is. So trading is something Britain is determined to lead. We are driving a European-wide initiative to link our energy grids.
"If we can do three things – get the costs down, make renewable energy a global business and continue to invest up front in the crucial infrastructure needed then we really can secure the future of renewables, alongside other energy sources, as a vital part of our energy supply.
"And with it we can help to create jobs, growth and – in the words of the United Nations Secretary General – sustainable energy for all."

|Licensing authority
|Public license information:
KVIA-TV, virtual channel 7 (digital channel UHF 17), is an ABC-affiliated television station located in El Paso, Texas, United States. The station is owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company. KVIA-TV maintains studio facilities located on Rio Bravo Street in northwest El Paso, and its transmitter is located atop the Franklin Mountains on the El Paso city limits.
The station first signed on the air on September 1, 1956 as KILT, broadcasting on VHF channel 13; the station was originally owned by television and radio personality Gordon McLendon. It was the third television station to sign on in the El Paso market, after KROD-TV (channel 4, now KDBC-TV) – which signed on in December 1952. KTSM-TV (channel 9) operated a tall tower at a lower elevation in downtown El Paso. After a short period of ownership, the McClendon Investment Corporation sold KILT to Joseph Harris and Norman Alexander in March 1957, after which, the station changed its call letters to KELP-TV. The station was purchased by John B. Walton Jr. in January 1966.[citation needed] The station's original studio facilities were located in central El Paso at 4530 Delta Drive, which also housed sister radio station KELP (920 AM, now KQBU), which was leased from the city of El Paso.
The station's original studio site amounted to a landfill next to a sewer; the studio land subsided over the years, resulting in the floors becoming uneven; cameras having to be chocked in place to prevent them from coming loose and run to the end of cables, slam into walls or trip over cables; outside walls developing gaps through which studio lights shone outward; and landfill/sewer insects flown into the building.[citation needed] Anchors needed to lean with the sets and cameras to appear upright on camera.[citation needed] The 350-foot (110 m) tower (placing the antenna about 110 feet above average terrain) operated at only 28,000 watts. During the same period, the station depended on microwave relays sent from Los Angeles for its network transmissions; on at least one occasion, an ice storm in Arizona caused a significant disruption in the station's network programming.
KELP-TV's transmitter facility moved to the south end of Comanche Peak, just above Scenic Drive, in 1961. Walton oversaw the move of the station's operations to its current studio facilities at 4140 Rio Bravo Street, off Executive Center in western El Paso, in 1968. During the 1960s and 1970s, KELP-TV was one of the few television stations in the United States that had an outdoor swimming pool. In the 1960s, the station carried a popular dance program titled Crosno's Hop, hosted by local radio DJ Steve Crosno.
Before satellites were widely used in U.S. broadcast television, network affiliates in many smaller markets had to arrange their own network connections.[citation needed] KELP-TV leased mountain tops between Phoenix and El Paso to create these relays. It picked up Phoenix ABC affiliate KTVK (now an independent station) and the network's Tucson affiliate KGUN-TV off-air, and fed them over several microwave relay towers, which landed back at the mountain top transmitter of KELP-TV. For a time, this required the transmitter operator at the site to switch between the studio feed and that of the incoming network feed. Later, the station added a backhaul link to allow the network feed to be transmitted directly to the studios, allowing the studio operator to preview network shows before broadcasting them on the station.[citation needed]
In February 1976, the station was purchased by Stanley Marsh 3. That year, the company signed on KAVE-TV (channel 6) in Carlsbad, New Mexico to act as a satellite station of KVIA; the station used a "circle 6" logo to align it with KVIA's "circle 7 logo". In 1987, that station changed its call letters to KVIO-TV to better identify it with its parent station. In 1979, it changed its call letters to KVIA-TV. On July 10, 1981, KVIA switched channel positions with KCOS, the city's PBS member station, and moved to VHF channel 7. This was done to give KVIA a greater broadcast signal range on parity with NBC affiliate KTSM-TV and CBS affiliate KDBC-TV.
In 1993, KVIO was sold to Pulitzer Broadcasting, then-owner of fellow ABC affiliate KOAT-TV in Albuquerque, which changed its call letters to KOCT and converted it into a satellite of KOAT; it was supplanted by a translator of that station in 2012. In 1995, Stanley Marsh 3 sold KVIA-TV to the St. Joseph, Missouri-based News-Press & Gazette Company; after the purchase, channel 7 served as the flagship television station of News-Press & Gazette, this status ended when the company acquired Colorado Springs ABC affiliate KRDO-TV in 2006.[citation needed]
KVIA utilizes a red version of the G. Dean Smith-designed version of the "circle 7 logo" commonly used by ABC stations broadcasting on channel 7, as opposed to the more widely used blue variant. The "red 7" is very similar in color, but not in shape, to the logos used by Boston NBC affiliate WHDH and Miami Fox affiliate WSVN.
Digital television[edit]
Digital channels[edit]
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
|PSIP Short Name
|Main KVIA-TV programming / ABC
|The CW Plus ("El Paso-Las Cruces CW")
|StormTrack 24/7 Weather
|Azteca América
On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW.[2][3] On March 7, KVIA signed an affiliation agreement to become the market's CW affiliate;[4] the station began carrying the network through its CW Plus feed on its second digital subchannel (branded as "El Paso-Las Cruces CW") when the network launched on September 18, 2006.
As in other markets where The CW ended up being carried on a digital subchannel of a station affiliated with another major network, News-Press & Gazette Company was unable to strike a carriage agreement with Time Warner Cable to carry KVIA-DT2 when the network launched; Time Warner Cable would not carry the subchannel until April 20, 2007, adding it on cable channel 13.[5] In 2007, KVIA began carrying LATV on a fourth digital subchannel.[6] On December 5, 2010, KVIA-TV began carrying Azteca América on digital subchannel 7.4, displacing competing Spanish language network LATV (which later moved to the third digital subchannels of Univision affiliate KINT-TV (channel 26) and TeleFutura affiliate KTFN (channel 65)).
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
KVIA-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 7, at 12:30 p.m. on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 17 to VHF channel 7 for post-transition operations.[7][8] Due to reports of reception issues with its signal, KVIA was granted permission by the Federal Communications Commission to operate a secondary signal on its former UHF digital channel 19 under special temporary authorization on July 23, 2009, mapped to virtual channel 7.1. KVIA later filed a petition to the FCC to permanently operate its digital signal exclusively on UHF channel 17.[9] The license to operate on channel 17 was issued on October 10, 2014.
KVIA-TV clears the entire ABC network schedule; however, the station airs The Chew at 11:00 a.m. weekdays on a one-day delay, due to its hour-long noon newscast. Syndicated programs broadcast by KVIA-TV include Live! with Kelly and Michael, The Dr. Oz Show, The Meredith Vieira Show, Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood among others. KVIA-TV is one of the few remaining U.S. television stations that continues to sign off during the overnight hours, occurring on Saturday night/early Sunday mornings from 4:00 to 5:00 a.m.
News operation[edit]
KVIA-TV presently broadcasts 29 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 4½ hours on weekdays, 3½ hours on Saturdays and three hours on Sundays). KVIA-TV shares news resources with Televisa Regional station XEPM-TV (channel 2) in Juárez, particularly in regards to coverage of crime in the Mexico border town. The station debuted the first midday newscast in the El Paso market in 1976, airing at noon. Channel 7 was also the first television station in El Paso to introduce a computerized weather radar system in 1979.
Gary Warner and Estela Casas hold the distinction of being the longest-running anchor team in El Paso television history; the two were paired together on KVIA's evening newscasts in 1993, and remained co-anchors until Warner retired from the station on May 21, 2008.[10] Warner had joined channel 7 in the mid-1970s as a reporter, before being promoted to co-anchor of the station's evening newscasts in 1976 alongside Al Hinojos; Warner briefly left KVIA in the late 1980s work for CNN, before returning to KVIA a few years later. On February 7, 2009, KVIA-TV became the second television station in the El Paso market to begin broadcasting its news in high-definition.

Out of the many "ambient/drone" tracks I've listen to here on NG, this is so far one of the best. By quite the mile; such soothing, relaxing drones.
Apologies if I don't have any constructive criticisms for you.
Thank you! I value your impression and emotional response more than any logical "criticism", however constructive it is!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
You know, whenever I discover a song in the Ambient section that is actually Ambient, I must stop to enjoy it.
This song is very luscious and calming. It would make a very good background to a Knytt Stories level.
They should leave the "genre" option free for us to write what we want. The list of genres is very limited and when something doesn't fit with "rock", "pop", "rnb" or "classical", it often ends in the ambient section.. Ambient is very large and vague though :)
Thanks for the review! I'll check the Knytt Stories, I think I played a game from their creator(s) (NightSky).

Minimum size for walk-in pantry
For those of you with walk-in pantries (open food storage - not a decorative butler's pantry), what would you consider minimum size needed?
I think that's a little hard to say because shape makes a difference. I'd prefer wider to deeper, for instance. Also, of course, family size and how you plan to use the storage make a big difference. I grind my own flour, so I need space for bulk grain storage that other don't, but some people don't have much kitchen storage and small appliances, bakeware, cookbooks, etc. need space in the pantry with the food.
My pantry is 48" wide by 45" deep. I really wouldn't want it any smaller, and could definitely use it bigger...but I'd be happy to have one 3 ft wide if it was all I could have.
Did you see the pantry thread in the gallery section of the forum? All sorts of different ones to see there.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pantry thread in the gallery
At only 42" wide, mine is on the narrow side. It's 69" deep but because it fits under our stairs, it's not full height (9') for the whole depth. It's about 4' or so at at the end. It's not as large as others have but ever since we installed Elfa shelving system from Container Store, it holds a lot of supplies for us, half again as much as it did with the builder-installed shelving we replaced. On one of the long sides, the shelves sit 13.5" from the wall. On the other, we added shallow spice racks (3" or 4" deep) and hooks to hold the step stool, aprons, extra oven racks and reusable grocery bags. This leaves us with 25" between shelves and wall racks. It's narrow but it's definitely manageable for us. Unless, that is, your son and his *big* friends are standing in the pantry trying to figure out what snacks they want to eat!
If it were 6" narrower (3' wide total), we'd have to forgo the spice racks and storage hooks and I'd really miss that. That said, if my space was full height from front to back, I should have other options for these items so a narrower space might not be an issue after all.
I have a corner pantry. Its interior dimensions are 41" wide on one side, 52" on the side perpendicular to the first side. While it's smaller than I'd like, it still holds quite a bit. The shelves on the short side are 15" deep (I had hoped to put a MW on a shelf there, but it didn't work out); the shelves on the long side are 12" deep.
With the exception of my toaster oven, all my small appliances fit on the 12" deep shelves. (My KA stand mixer is on the counter b/c I don't like lugging it around plus I actually like it there, but it would fit in the pantry on a 12" deep shelf and does go there when I have a big party.)
Seldom-used items (like coffeemaker) are in the deep corners or on the floor.
My pantry is linked below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Thread: Sharb-inspired Pantry Done!
I'm a little confused by your "interior" comment, buehl since I don't recall ever seeing people post room size by exterior dimensions. Cabinet dimensions are posted by cabinet size not interior space and that can get confusing if someone needs a certain amount of interior width to store items. But since the OP asked about a walk-in pantry, I assumed they were talking about a room not a cabinet.
I'm not sure I ever did get my old pantry in Rhome's pantry thread. It was a horrible suck of space. The shelving was in a U around about two steps (not strides=yards, but steps=big feet) of floor space. It was so inconvenient that I didn't use it for food storage, except for soda pop and similar bulk items.
Long, narrow pantries are also inconvenient as well as claustrophobia causing.
I tend to favor L shaped shelving in a pantry, with possible hooks, pegboard or narrow shelving (3"-5") on remaining walls. Minimum size, about 6'x4' interior, or 4' square in a corner pantry.
In the new kitchen, I turned it inside out, and gained 60" of floor to ceiling pantry cabinets, along with a whole butler's pantry.
By telling you this, what I mean is that the pantry design and location is just as important as the size. My cousin built a can pantry between the studs in his kitchen corridor. It's GREAT! Shallower shelves or ROTS (roll out shelves) make it much easier to see and reach your things. Hardware bins make organizing things in bags, like beans and pasta, much easier. Risers help organize and display cans.
When storage is tight, any storage is good storage, but with the care you're taking, I'm sure you can make it convenient storage as well.
I've been thinking long and hard about this question too. Rhome & Beuhl's measurements between shelves are helping a ton and I am using a variation of their spacing. My pantry is in an odd corner of the kitchen and we are just now fleshing it out. My interior walking area will be a little larger than 43" by 48". The front and back walls are parallel, but the other walls are shaped to get the most usable room possible. Shelving will be 20" from the floor then 15", 15", and then 10" repeated to the 9 ft ceiling.
The longest wall will have shelves only 10" deep, which is what you can barely see on the right in the photo. Then the deeper shelves are around the corners. I am planning on putting a corian counter on the left to put my coffee pot and toaster on. Hopefully it will not be too claustrophobic. (I plan on extending the counter in the back so as not to have that acute angle, which is not a very convenient space.)
If I had a walk-in patry, I would want it to be big enough to include a place for hanging up the broom, dustpan, etc...kind of a pantry with a broom closet :)
I worked in an old B & B that had a big pantry/closet like that and it was so handy. The broom, dustpan, etc. was tucked behind the door and there was a shelf over them for a couple of baskets for everyday cleaning supplies (one for the bathrooms, one for dusting, countertops and windows). It was probably at least 6' or 7' x 5' or 6'. Sorry, it was years ago, but if you have the space, I'd say make it bigger than you think you'll need!
That's why I find L-shaped shelving helpful...So I can hang things on the wall to one side of the door, and I have room for that in my smallish pantry. I still don't have the hangers up, but my floor steamer and small step stool lean against that wall. (Used to have the broom and dustpan there, but they now have their own home in the narrow space beside the fridge.)
Well, I have to admit that that's the 2nd reason I prefer shelves in an L instead of a U. The 1st and biggest reason is because corners are big caves and not very helpful for storage. One side is OK and can serve for less often used and awkward things, but 2 would be too much.
Rhome- I like L-shaped shelves, too. It's okay to have brooms, stools, etc. behind the door, but I wouldn't want to have to work around the door to get to food. I guess the door could open out, but then it's usually in the way of something in the kitchen!
ours is 6' by 7.5' I love the size of it. we have wire shelving on 2 walls from floor to ceiling(the long one for all our food, the shorter one for all the large appliances). the door takes one wall and the other long wall I have a rolling butcher block cart (IKEA) for all the kids crafts/bins and our coffee maker. We have our step ladders and brooms etc behind the door. HTH
Has anyone seen dinobambino or Mariab 10 on here lately? I wanted more information on their pantries. Doing a search hasn't produced anything.
Thanks if anyone knows where their Kitchen/pantry specifics are!
Rhome, is your pantry in the "cove" where your Ref/Freezer are located? Do you have a landing space in there?
Susied3,Yes, the pantry is across the aisle from the fridge and freezer in the little alcove. No landing space outside the pantry...Just the shelves inside it. For fridge landing space, I have to make it to the island. I could go around the door to the counter to the right of the fridge (just outside the alcove), but I don't think I ever do that. It's a straighter path to the island and that's where the prep sink is anyway.
Hi All,
I just wanted to chime in on my new pantry! We just moved in 6 days ago so I haven't used it long, but I love it. And I have to say, I love the U-Shape shelves!! Perfect for me! My pantry is 57 inches deep looking straight on and 82 inches wide. I purposely made my pantry more square so I could do the u-shape and I'm so glad I did. I love how useful it is for storage and that I could do a counter in there for more prepping space. I do not have deep shelves -- many are 8 inches or less. I have one deep shelf for storing large appliances under the counter and several that are 12 inches deep but the majority of food storage is not deep at all. So I don't feel like things get lost in the corners at all.
Looking straight on:

OP: I just wanted to say that to your original question, a minimum size pantry for me would be about the size of my current cleaning closet. It is 42 inches by 42 inches. You can definitely walk in and you could get good deep shelf storage on the back wall, hanging room on one wall and maybe even narrow can storage on another side wall.
My vacuum is not in here, but you get the idea:
Shelly_k, Glad you're moved in and loving your pantry! I love your counter area. I couldn't have mind like yours, as a lot of the stuff I have in my pantry wouldn't fit on 8" shelves, so it could never look that neat and tidy. But that's why we're all here...to show different ways of doing things for different lifestyles. Be sure to post on the pantry thread in the gallery!
Florantha, Have you checked out that thread? With it and all the links, you could spend the day looking at pantry images. ;-)
My pantry is approximately 9' X 8'. Gray cabinets and marble counters. I love how it turned out. Even with less space you could modify my design and stil have so much storage area. Here are the before and afters.

Poplar trees
I really like the looks of the poplar tree...
What do others think about the poplar?
Have you planted them next to your garden area?
I'm not a big fan. The Lombardi poplar was planted as a fast-growing windbreak. You see it all over farm country. But it rots from the inside out. Look at some older stands of this tree. The old ones are hollow. A gust blows them over. Many houses are at risk from these trees. Don't ever use them in a suburban setting or near anything you don't want crushed, like homes, garages, carports, vehicles and children. With so many better trees out there, there's no reason to plant a poplar. They need a lot of water, too, which is why so many can be found along ditches. The poplar family of trees are weak-wooded. I'd avoid them. What specifically do you like about a poplar? I betcha there will be a ton of responses for alternatives.
I suspect the main allure to most people is the fast growth. I've never planted one, but 5 years ago a seedling of a poplar (don't know the variety) sprouted in my petunias. On a lark, I didn't pull it up and by the end of the first season in was 5 ft tall. By the end of the next season it was about 12 feet tall. Then we moved. I drove by the home last fall and I could see the tree from the street despite the fact that it was "hidden" behind a two story house with a pitched roof. The tree is at least 30 feet tall and growing quite a crown. From seed to massive tree in 5 growing seasons. Now that's productive.
You did not say which of the poplars you were interested in. We planted the Hybrid Poplar, also known as cottonless cottonwood, on our property and were very pleased with the trees. Yes, they do grow fast, and they are beautiful trees. If you are wanting to grow your own wood lot they are terrific. They do sucker and they use more water than elm trees. Everything else that we planted ended up dying on us, I think a lot of that was because of our drought and not watering deep enough.
A lot of what you plant will depend on where you live, too. We live on five acres out in the country. If you live in town, you may wish to reconsider what you plant, or do more research.
My .02 about poplars...
The question of which variety is the most important question.
My neighbors have Lombardies. They are very pleased with them. I, however, am trying to find some way to poison them from my side of the fence. (Just kidding... well, mostly kidding.) They sucker everywhere... in the grass, in my gardens, under my porch. They push up the flagstones of my patio. Their roots are very shallow and make cultivating difficult. They drop nasty little seed pods everywhere. After even a moderate wind, my lawn and gardens are littered with branches. They have a life expectancy of about 20 years, so there are always several dead ones among the live ones. I have read that their root systems attack water lines, though so far we haven't had water system problems--knock on wood! I do not grow any myself, but I do know these trees are not good neighbors.
The other poplar I have some experience with is populous tremuloides or the Quaking Aspen. There were (and I stress were) several of these growing on our property when we bought it 15 years ago. Most of them succumbed to insects or disease and had to be removed. They have most of the same problems the Lombardy poplar has. The aspen is so beautiful that I was sorry to see them go. However, the extension service here says they just don't make good landscape trees at this altitude (6000'). They say they need a bit higher altitude and room to sucker and spread.
Another reason to choose your variety carefully is that the poplar family can be a major allergy culprit in May and June. The sterile varieties don't have that problem.
Amazing growth story Canyon Home!
I'm sure you've already realized, Lehi, that you should never plant poplars next to a garden area. The roots and shoots they will establish there will make gardening a nightmare.
If you really need the height/growth right away, certainly use only one of the named cultivars which are cottonless and often have better branching and slightly slower growth. The Highland cottonwood is very nice, and the narrowleaf is very popular in our area. I would NEVER use the Lombardy - rife with problems. I'm at a higher altitude and grow Aspens successfully, but you can usually count on losing one out of three to disease over time.
If you don't need the immediate size, there are a few other trees that kind of give the same appearance - some of the lindens, some of the ash trees. You might want to call your local nursery and see what they recommend as a substitute. Good luck!
Whatever you choose, make sure it's appropriate for Utah.
I'm struggling with a mature silver maple that the previous owner planted. A few years ago, it started getting chlorotic, because the soil is too alkaline for the tree to make use of the iron in the soil.
I'm making some progress, but, as somebody on this forum once pointed out, it's much easier to plant trees that are suitable for your soil than to get your soil suitable to your trees (or something like that). If I were starting now, I'd go with something more appropriate to my soil.
I'm out of town right now, but I've got a list of "best trees for Utah" that was published in the SL Trib a few years ago. I kept it in the vain hope that the maple would die of its own volition or my wife would let me cut it down. Even though neither option seems likely, I've held on to the list, and I'll try to remember to post it on Thursday.
I don't think that any of the three trees that you listed will do well in alkaline soil which I am quite certain that you have. The Burr oak will grow moderately fast and have nice fall color and do well. You might look at the Norwegian Sunset or Pacific sunset maples. They are a hybrid that has nice fall colors and will do well in Utah.
The list that I found in the SL Trib and kept for several years is no longer there. I must have either finally given up on needing it or decided that a similar, but fuler list I got from the USU extension service would do better.
I have a handout from the USU extension service that is 8 pages long and lists trees that are well adapted to Utah, and gives a lot of other information about each tree (mature height and width, growth rate, leaf color, flowers, landscape use, and comments). Comments include such things a s succeptibility to chlorosis, insect pests, disease problems, etc. It's too detailed to try to post here, but if you have time to get to an extension office, they probably have something like it.
Here is a link to a pdf I found online that has similar information.
I'm in Alpine Utah. As someone else mentioned the Linden is a good alternative for the Poplar and there are many varieties of Linden to consider. They do well here, flexible branches/less prone to break and smell wonderful when they bloom (and attract bees).
Some varieties of Ash grow as fast as Cottonwood, but like other fast growing trees, they are even weaker branched than Poplar!
We have a good size property, so I did plant some cottonless cottonwood on the edge of my property because I love the flicker of the leaves and the roots there won't be a problem (for neighbors either).
You might look at Mountain Ash (Sorbus) not related to Ash (Fraxinus I think). They do maginficent out here and have beautiful fall color, flowers in late spring, berries into the winter. I love the Bur Oak also, but slow grower. Also I would not recommend Silver Maple as a fast growing tree. They are brittle and don't look so Silver as they do Chlorotic (Chlorosis, sickly yellow).
Please dont ever plant these trees! I just had 3 huge ones cut down today. They grow very very fast & appear to be great, but as mine turned about 8 years old, the roots began popping up from the ground and suckers EVERYWHERE! Ruined my driveway, sidewalk and began attacking my neighbors yards . these should not be SOLD ! Also, lots of dead branches all the time. DO NOT PLANT LOMBARDY POPLARS! AWFUL! a very expensive lesson learned.
I have read for ages about lombardies in LM Montgomery books and wondered what they were. Y'all's poplars must be more aggressive than our tulip poplars here (La). We have had some for about 10 years and haven't had the problems you mentioned. BUT - someone mentioned silver maples. Don't plant these unless you want a (beautiful in the wind) forest of them. We have one and have to control the babies by frequent mowing and after 10 years it's roots are above ground and a nuisance to walking. Fortunely ours is just about dead and will have to be removed soon. Lucky us, our neighbors have about 20 in a "groove", so when they mature we can look across the yard and wax nostalgic.
Here's a little info on growth regulators. They may help but it looks like your neighbors should be seeing this as THEIR problem.
It may require a note from your attorney to bring the issue to their attention but that should be a ways down the road. Look at ways to get information to your neighbors 1st (2nd & 3rd) and to document your efforts to inform and at control on your property.

Hi Flattie,
I have neighborÂs aspen suckers coming up all over my front yard, and another neighborÂs cottonwood suckers coming up all over my back yard. After three years of fighting them, I have finally come up with something that works. When the suckers are in the grass, I spray them with Weed ÂB Gone, and if theyÂre not around grass or other plants, I spray them with Roundup. Both are working very well, and I finally have lawn that doesnÂt look like a baby forest before I mow it every time. You will need to keep spraying every few weeks since more suckers will keep coming up from different places along the roots, but itÂs been more effective than I had hoped for.
Good luck,

Residents all across Turlock turned on their porch lights, locked their front doors and joined their neighbors for National Night Out on Tuesday. Neighborhoods across the city held block parties and were visited by police and fire department officials.
How many of us are actually an adult when we turn 18? Think about this, what if you got cut off from money, food and shelter the day you turned 18, how would things have worked out for you?
After a rough 2009, local farmers enjoyed a bounce-back year with a gross agricultural farm gate increase of nearly $260 million for an all-time record for total income of nearly $2.57 billion in 2010, according to the Stanislaus County Agricultural Crop Report.
The Turlock Irrigation District expects to raise electric rates in February, but the cost and the structure of the increase have yet to be decided.
A Stanislaus County man remains hospitalized with West Nile Virus after the onset of symptoms on July 22. The 68-year old is the first human to test positive for West Nile in Stanislaus County this year, and the second person to test positive in the state.
The United States Department of Agriculture recently announced that Stanislaus County will be part of a multi-state, $45 million biofuels project to produce renewable energy.
This article is the first in a three-part series featuring former foster youth who have recently made the transition from foster care to adulthood, the challenges they face, and local organizations, schools and employers that are dedicated to providing a bridge for the dangerous gap existing between youth and emancipation.
The City of Hughson has taken a few hard hits in the past two years, but the Valley town is not down for the count. In fact, over the past six months the city has set the stage for a comeback.
Turlock's confusingly-named 2,500 acre industrial park – the Westside Industrial Specific Plan – hasn't seen as much interest from developers as the city had hoped for.
Locally grown produce has been making headlines lately. Health magazines tout the benefits of eating small-farm and organic produce, chambers of commerce urge citizens to "buy local," and frugal moms blog about the money they save by buying at farmers' markets. And Turlock is right in the middle of the eating local frenzy, with a plethora of fruits and vegetables available at local produce stands.
Adults who consume high levels of sugar have significantly elevated levels of several risk factors for heart disease, according to a new study by a team of researchers at the University of California, Davis and in Japan.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture currently has 18 vacancies on two advisory committees overseen by the department's Inspection and Compliance Branch. Vacancies are available on the California Organic Products Advisory Committee and the Certified Farmers' Market Advisory Committee.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service has $9.5 million in funding assistance available for California farmers seeking to make farm improvements that will help air quality, water quality or conserve water.
Union Pacific Railroad will be performing track maintenance on the section of railroad between Main Street and Olive Avenue, closing the intersections from Tuesday to Thursday.
The Turlock Police Department is encouraging people to take to the streets Tuesday and get to know their neighbors as part of the National Night Out celebration.
The enactment of Proposition 2 earlier this year not only spurred the literal movement of chickens in enriched cages throughout the egg industry, but another movement entirely: owning backyard chickens.
More change is coming to the Turlock Certified Farmers' Market this season. Not only will the farmers' market move from Friday mornings to Saturday mornings this season, but it will also move location.
Vintage shops are far from rare in downtown Turlock and come April one more will be joining the scene: Farm House.
Since Caroline Monroe's two older sisters, Olivia Monroe and Meredith Monroe, were both named Distinguished Young Women in previous years, it only made sense that the youngest sister would follow in their footsteps.
Business owners often have to be discerning when choosing with whom they will do business and this method is true when working online as well.
For anyone unaware the federal government charges a penalty for not carrying health insurance, Emanuel Medical Center is offering a helping hand.
Bad news just keeps on coming for local growers, as the Turlock Irrigation District Board of Directors considers implementing an even lower than the historically-low 20 inch water allotment in 2014, once the postponed irrigation season finally starts.

Thanks gatekeeper!
I'll spray paint a paper plate black and stick it against a white background and do the 6'oclock hold to see where I'm grouping. I'll give a range report in a few weeks to report on any progress. I go through this everytime I get a different shooting iron but my philosophy is that I need to be able to shoot the rifle proficiently before putting optics on it....what if the optics fail? I had a really hard similar transition going from the 870/1100 configuration to the over under configuration quail hunting. I stuck with it and didn't give up and now I can hang with the best of the best in varying quick point situations. It kept me from switching guns or simply giving up and buying something else which is what a lot of people do while blameing it on the gun without giving it an honest try. The only other military type weapon I have is an sks but it was a peice of cake with the sights....this ar platform is entirely different and I LIKE it but I've got some practicing to do. I won't give up.
Sight in your AR-15 at exactly 25 meters with 55 grain FMJ ammunition. Use this target:
I shoot ½ size NRA official 100 yard military type targets that I print on my computer, for testing ammo and shooting 22LR out of my AR. At 50 yards.
The 100 yard targets have a 6 ¼ inch black center, same as the gun clubs use for CMP shoots. The ones I print for 50 yards have a 2 ¾ inch center(as close to ½ size that I could get it).
What ever the spread is at 50 yards will be double at 100 yards and 4 times at 200 yards. The CMP 200 yard targets are twice the size as the 100 yard targets.
About the best I could do at 100 yards would be a 2 inch spread, and not always that close.
Read what the military manuals have to say. One thing they say is start by putting your nose against the charging handel.
Death By Gun Control The Mother of All Stats
In the 20th Century, at least 170,000,000 people were murdered by their own governments -- more killed than by crime more than killed by war.http://jpfo.org/index.htm
I agree with SGT-MILLER, start at 25 meters and use the target he suggested (for a 20" barrel). Below is the PDF and I also included a PDF for the M4 since it looks like you have one.http://www.bobdbob.com/~deneb/doc/targets/m16a2-25m-zero.pdf M16A2 25 meter targethttp://ohmr.ohio.gov/forms/ohmr2444-b.pdf M4 25 meter zeroing target - ETA: (there is a minor error on this target, the elevation knob is set to 6/3 not 8/3)
You could also try using one of those stick on Orange pasties for the center of your target. They are often visible at that distance and have really helped me hold to the same common aim point from shot to shot, vs. a black blob.
I need to ask, and no I have not read all the responses, so if it has been asked take me hunting! Is your AR an A2 sight? If so is the rear sight set at 8/3? What sights are you using? At 100 if you are shooting high you need to raise the front sight. My DCM A2 shoots tiny little groups at 100. JP
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
JPATT: I have a midwest industries rear sight and the standard triangle on the front. I think I will leave it as is and try the zeroing target at 25 yds and then try again at fifty. I think I am close but I want to do better!!!...and be proficient on paper at 100 to enable me to hit anything of size at 200-250. JPATT, I'll take you hunting for quail anytime in missouri if you will take me grouse hunting in NH!!!! We will leave the AR's in the truck!
25 meters!!!
I aM AN AMATUER at these battle sights!!!! I've never had trouble knocking a squirrel out of a tree with a 22 but this is a little more challenging for an AR neophyte....go ahead make fun, I'll show ya.....might take some time though......

Canucks' Luongo to start in goal against Oilers
Updated: January 20, 2013, 4:02 PM ETAssociated Press
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault says Roberto Luongo will start when the Canucks host the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.
The Canucks are coming of an embarrassing 7-3 home loss to Anaheim in their season opener Saturday, with Vancouver starter Cory Schneider getting pulled in favor of Luongo after allowing five goals on 14 shots.
Luongo allowed two goals on 12 shots -- both by Teemu Selanne -- that gave the Ducks 6-2 and 7-3 leads.
Luongo, the Canucks' former No. 1 goalie, is on the trading block after being displaced by Schneider in last spring's playoffs.

Growing up, Together.Growing up, Together.5 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
I remember the day I walked into Madison..I'd never been more afraid of anything in my life. The small, scared 6th grade girl. With out a single friend. I didn't want to be alone.
I would talk to those I already knew, but nothing really stuck. They all were changing..Too fast for my liking. And just like that..I wasn't alone. Not anymore. I wasn't going to be. Ever again.
I remember her face, the curly brown hair. Eyes full of hate..But none towards me. That 7th grade girl that let her world meet mine. I have all my thanks for this girl..Its because of her, I'm not alone.
I remember that short boy, with long messy brown hair. He was so...So... Unlike I'd ever seen. He didn't talk really. And, I had no idea how big of a part he'd be in my- Our lives.
I remember that hate I felt for that tall tan boy, with long hair. I had no idea how close we'd become. None what so ever. I walked towards him, and spoke. Acted as if he wasn't a stranger.

I'd never have... or, nobody would have ever known that, despite me living my normal everyday life as a 15 year old boy, going to school, being with my friends, all that normal stuff; that things were stirring. Events stirring that would change my life my whole world for the undecidedly better or worse.
I'd never have known this fate that lay for me, and I still cannot say whether I'm exactly happy with it. But I cannot go back. This is me, my new world, who I am, forever.

It was a school night, same as every other night past & future; my parents nudging me to hurry up with last-minute work I needed to do, and then asleep by 10:30. Nothing out of the ordinary, though I didn't mind as I had grown accustomed to this.
While I lay that night, it was a long, dark, dreamless sleep. The kind you get when you can't quite sleep, but are.

Greed now rules the spoils of war.
Queen has set her throne on the royal hall (the ruins of the realm)
I have walked through the dark
I have fought my way out of her prison.
I have witnessed the war
I have found my love wrapped in oblivion.
The eldritch swarm over our world,
My shining one, where have you gone?
Devourer's claws hold on your heart,
My shining love, where are you lost?
Broken harmony, its protectors fell
Imprisoned their kin, in repressed tears (the realm of peace)
From beasts he swore to shield his home,
My shining one, the guardian.
Wake from the queen's dormant veil,
Within your heart resides our hope.
In despair we need your gallant strength,
My shining one, reclaim your shield.

Shiven turned and glared dangerously at Nova, Nova thought nothing of it and just stared smugly back at Shiven. Suddenly Shiven launched herself full force towards Nova, sending her reeling back and cracking the back of her head against the stone wall, where from there Shiven gripped her neck tightly threatening to choke her! Shiven then began screaming furiously into her face "what the hell did you do?! Why was ac3 not neutralized like the other two?! What the fuck did you miss out?!" Nova, gagging for breath & shuddering from the stench of Shiven's right in her face could do nothing but stutter and shake her head timidly, small tears beginning to form in her eyes, knowing that Shiven was much stronger than her & Meta would certainly not be happy! "Answer me!" Shiven yelled angrily. She loosened her grip on Nova's neck and at last, Nova was able to reply, "I-I-I don't know! I'm sorry! I swear I created him the exact same way as the other two!

And I wonder everyday

The Planet, Aquaris, has been in a crisis. For as far back as they can remember this watery world has been a thriving place for all manner of creature. The world has not a drop of dry land and volcanic vents cause vibrant streams of heated water, in what the residence call fluxes, to flow continuously keeping the water temperature comfortable and steady. The planets Fluxes cause the water on Aquaris to become turbulent, and while more and more Flux chambers open and close on the sea floor they can become so massive they can be seen even from the planets orbit. The turbulent waters of Aquaris has made it the most majestic planet in its system, naming Aquaris one of the top 5 most beautiful places to visit next to its sister planets, Cratus and Venaly.
In recent decades however, some of Aquariss top researchers noticed a steady decline in the number of planetary fluxes on Aquaris.

It was mid-morning when the zebra mare trotted into Ponyville.
Her appearance was striking, even compared to the citizens of the town with their brightly-colored coats and manes: the zebra's coat was a very light grey with black stripes on her legs, tail and mohawk-like mane. A large jagged pattern of black ran down her spine and halfway down her barrel, dark grey sun-like whorls were set upon her flanks and her muzzle was squared off as opposed to having the dainty rounding of most mares.
A series of golden rings encircled her neck from her collarbone to her jaw and another similar set were worn in the middle of her left foreleg. A large golden hoop hanging from each ear completed the exotic picture.
The zebra mare's name was Zecora. And she was becoming annoyed.

The last thing i expected was to be able to afford a 5star hotel in Geneva but I was really fortunate to get a good special for this hotel on booking.com and took it immediately having known the Movenpick chain of hotels to be very good. I was not disappointed. The staff were friendly and helpful and the concierge was excellent. My travel partner was sick during our stay there and they made all the arrangements for a doctor to see to her and delivered the prescribed medication. They also provided excellent tour recommendations and made all the bookings and arrangements for me. I received complimentary WiFi in the room. The hotel is close to the airport and far from the old town, however the tram is a 5min walk from the hotel and is free to tourists so I was able to tour the city without worrying about transport since it is reliable and at no cost. I can't remember if/what time the tram service stops at night which might inconvenience those who want to be out very late at the restaurants/bars in the city centre.
The hotel also provides free shuttle service running to and from the airport every 10 to 15 minutes for its guests. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

Roman Augustoviz spends Minnesota's winters covering college hockey, specifically the Gophers, and other University of Minnesota sports. During the summer, he writes about the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, with a dose of U sports sprinkled in. Follow him on Twitter @RomanStrib.
Gophers coach Don Lucia said new Michigan Tech coach Mel Pearson was a good hire with a good understanding of the school in Houghton, Mich., because he played for the Huskies
"Mel and I go way back," said Lucia on his weekly radio show Monday on 1500ESPN. "We graduated from high school the same year. He was at Edina, I was at Grand Rapids, so we played each other every year in high school."
Pearson was born in Vancouver, but his family moved to Edina when he was a youth.
"[After high school,] he went to Tech and I was at Notre Dame," Lucia said, "so we played every year through my four years of college. And, obviously, butted heads many times when he was [coaching] at Michigan and I was at CC [Colorado College] and then here. Mel is a good guy. It was a great hire on their part.
"Mel had been waiting -- I told Mel if he was waiting for Red [Berenson] to retire [at Michigan], you are going to retire before Red does. You better take a head job if that is what you want to do."
Pearson played for Michigan Tech from 1977-81. He was a forward. He was a Huskies assistant before joining Berenson's staff at Michigan in 1988. In 1999-2000, he became the Wolverines' associate head coach.
Lucia said Pearson has a good situation at Tech.
"The [Huskies] were absolutely devastated by injuries last year. ... Mel is playing a bit more high tempo," Lucia said. "They are much more skilled. ... Last year they were minus-25 in specialty teams, that is almost a goal a game and that is a big difference. And now they are a plus-1. So that is a major turnaround."
The Huskies have scored 15 power plays goals and given up 14.
"They are scoring a lot more goals," Lucia said. "They have two returning goaltenders from last year's team and they are off to a great start. ... They've got three balanced lines. They have some incoming freshman that are scoring and helping them."
Lucia said when he was in the WCHA, one of his favorite road trips was to Michigan Tech.
"The [hockey] community was a little more active back then," Lucia said. "Their rink was packed. It was a very difficult place to play. But it was a fun weekend of hockey when you went up there. They had it going, obviously [in] the '70s. They played the 'U' for three straight national titles in '75, '75, '76. And even up to 1981, they were in the Frozen Four that year as well."
Lucia said things will change for Michigan Tech in the WCHA in two years when the conference is re-shaped: "What you will see with the WCHA in a few years is how competitive it is going to be from top to bottom. Some of those teams, whether it be Ferris State or Northern Michigan, and Lake Superior State, some of those teams which will be coming into the league are having great years.
"You will see real good balance in the league in a few years. And there is no reason that Michigan Tech can't look at itself and say, 'We are like everybody else. ]They are all pretty much Division II schools.] We should be able to compete with anybody in this new league.' "
* Lucia said the Gophers have been remarkably healthy so far except for forward Christian Isackson being out because of an infection (he played in two of the past three games) and defenseman Blake Thompson being out with mononucleosis.
Isackson has played in only four of 16 games, Thompson in two.

Molding is normally a blessing. It can accentuate rooms of any size and provide depth and elegance. Our house however, has too much molding. It has so many angles that M.C. Escher would've called it confusing. We have molding around the molding that's goes around our windows. There is even molding around the light switches. Our project today is to remove the molding that goes past the window area.
Don't be intimidated by digging near the walls. Removing molding or doing custom cuts are simple if you have the right tools.

Harvesting the Fruits of contemplation (harvestingthefruitsofcontemplation.blogspot.com/)
A few days ago, I was prompted to read through some older journal entries and discovered one from more than 13 years ago. How timeless are the insights God gives us, especially those we may have forgotten but are blessed to rediscover!
Harvesting the Fruits of contemplation (harvestingthefruitsofcontemplation.blogspot.com/)

Published in Blog
Keywords: Eucharist, Priest, Real Presence, Reverence
CANASTOTA, NY - Let me share with you what I wrote (with some editing) more than a decade ago:.
'I attended Mass at a Dominican Monastery today. There are no resident Dominican friars there. As I exited my car, I saw an elderly Franciscan priest getting out of his vehicle. He had come to say Mass. He was unable to stand upright. His elderly and frail body was hunched over (literally in half) as he walked carefully on the snow with the aid of a cane, his priestly vestments folded over his other arm.
I asked Father if he needed any help. He joyfully
declined my assistance as I held the door leading into the monastery open for
him. His walking was deliberate and appeared painful. He was unable to stand
Say a prayer and light a virtual candle.
I assumed he would take the elevator, But he surprised me when he laboriously climbed the steps to the second floor chapel. As we approached the chapel door, I opened it for him as well. He entered and fully genuflected before entering the sacristy - his knee touching the floor. It took great effort for him to do that; he was quite unsteady when he got up, still hunched over in half.
I was touched that this priest loved God so much that he ignored his own physical limitations and discomfort in order to provide all of us present with such a visible and powerful sign of his respect, reverence for, and belief in, the Real and Substantial Presence of our Lord, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, hidden behind the locked doors of the chapel's tabernacle.
How many of us do not genuflect at all, though fully and physically able to do so?
I was moved throughout the Mass as Father continued to genuflect when required, his knee always touching the floor despite the pain it caused him and the great difficulty he had in getting back up. He was never able to stand upright.
But I was finally brought to tears when Father forced himself by sheer love for the Eucharist and the grace of God to stand fully erect when he lifted Our Lord first in the Sacred and Consecrated Host and then in the Holy Chalice of His Sacred Blood!
What I witnessed and what this priest did was nothing short of miraculous! Despite his physical limitations, He was determined to give honor to the God he so obviously believed was in his hands.
His example should serve as clarion call for the rest of us to always honor our Lord by our words and actions as well.'
Thank you God for the holy priests in our midst!
A blog through which I promote zeal for the salvation of souls, awe and amazement for the Holy Eucharist and Eucharistic Adoration, and fidelity to the Truths of our Catholic Faith.
