These days if anyone asks me where I go to find inspiration for my work and really somewhere to find ideas that are on that exciting cusp of discovery – I always say Instagram. You can get wonderfully lost in a trail of discovery from click through to click through and in this very way I stumbled across the magical account of Flora Forager.
Flora Forager aka Bridget Beth Collins – is a botanical artist from Seattle who has been peppering my feed with her playful and skilful arrangements of flowers and injecting it with a dose of permanent summer.
To my awe, Bridget's story showed the true power of Instagram, as it turned out her business began only a few months ago and just by posting her addictive arrangements she has garnered more than 90.5K followers and grown her business a hundred-fold. I quizzed her about her very new business. Follow her on Instagram @flora.forager
Tell me about Flora Forager.
What is your background?
I majored in Theatre at Seattle Pacific University. I have been painting professionally and been a full time mom to my three wily boys for the last eight years. I grew up in a sea town called Edmonds just north of Seattle and would practically live in the woods when I was a child. My mother is an avid gardener and my father is an adventurer and biology wiz so I grew up with a love and appreciation for nature.
What is your business?
I collaborate with brands and sell prints of my work. My husband is the silent partner behind the website, orders, and shipping. Flora Forager would only be an Instagram account without him! He's the math and organisation guy and I'm the creative and social gal. We are a great team.
How would you describe your very unique aesthetic?
Creative, detailed arrangements of botanicals, showcasing the ordinary or unusual in surprising ways. To put it more lightly, I "paint" with flowers.
What is your inspiration?
My inspiration is nature itself. Beautiful designs and patterns can be found in the leaves and petals themselves. I go on walks in my neighbourhood gardens, meadows, and forests and am continually enamoured and delighted. I'll see feathers in petals or scales in succulents and wont rest until I've made them so.
Where do you source your flowers from?I have a little garden in the city that never ceases to amaze me with its amount of flowers, and my mother has a huge rose garden with 70 different varieties of roses. The area I live has such an abundance of flowers and plants. I feel like practically anything can grow in the northwest, save for desert plants.
A walk through a green belt or a stroll down the street can give you a full bouquet of flowers. I love finding overgrown abandoned gardens with flowers trailing over the fence. It doesn't take much to create one of my pieces, just a few flowers usually. I'll buy anything really rare or prized from the market, but everything else is foraged.

Recirculating Range Hood (Optional): Recirculating range hoods require no external venting of air. Instead, air is pushed through a charcoal filtration system that removes pollutants before circulating it back into the home. The benefit of such a system is that household temperatures and humidity are easier to maintain, as the internal air never leaves the kitchen. A recirculating range hood is also generally far easier to install, as complex ventilation systems and vent pipe are not required.

Capital expenditures
A capital expenditure is one in which a durable asset is purchased that is intended to increase the profits of a business for an extended period. That is in contrast to a consumable which is depleted as it is used and must be replaced. Consumables are treated as an expense.
Expanded Definition
Capital expenditures can be of various types including land, the construction of a new plant, or the installation of new equipment. Rules that determine what can be capitalized can be complex. For example remodelling a plant often can be capitalized. So can certain expenses after an acquisition, such as moving expenses for employees.
Tax laws allow some capital assets to be depreciated. Depreciation recognizes that the equipment gradually wears out and must be replaced. Hence, a portion of its cost is allocated as a business expense. The effect is to protect a portion of the firm's income from taxes and to provide funds for reinvestment in the business.

Forest Education Before 1898
Abstract:Even though our profession in America is comparatively youthful, as professions go, nevertheless it has already attained that age where its early pioneers are successively passing off the stage with increasing frequency. Most of them throughout their actively productive careers have been so busy doing things that they have not taken the time to leave behind them a detailed record of what they did and how they went about doing it. Such a historical record is of inestimable value to those of us coming after, as a background from which to plan and carry on into the future. We are indebted therefore to Herbert Smith for the time and effort he has put into this conscientiously accurate account of the early beginnings of forest education.
Document Type: Journal Article
Affiliations: U. S. Forest Service
Publication date: October 1, 1934

Anelastic attenuation factor
In reflection seismology, the anelastic attenuation factor, often expressed as seismic quality factor or Q (which is inversely proportional to attenuation factor), quantifies the effects of anelastic attenuation on the seismic wavelet caused by fluid movement and grain boundary friction. As a seismic wave propagates through a medium, the elastic energy associated with the wave is gradually absorbed by the medium, eventually ending up as heat energy. This is known as absorption (or anelastic attenuation) and will eventually cause the total disappearance of the seismic wave.[1]
Quality factor, Q[edit]
Q is defined as
where is the fraction of energy lost per cycle.[2] Its behaviour said to be dispersive because the rate of attenuation increases with frequency.
The earth preferentially attenuates higher frequencies, resulting in the loss of signal resolution as the seismic wave propagates. Quantitative seismic attribute analysis of amplitude versus offset effects is complicated by anelastic attenuation because it is superimposed upon the AVO effects.[3] The rate of anelastic attenuation itself also contains additional information about the lithology and reservoir conditions such as porosity, saturation and pore pressure so it can be used as a useful reservoir characterization tool.[4]
Therefore, if Q can be accurately measured then it can be used for both compensation for the loss of information in the data and for seismic attribute analysis.
Measurement of Q[edit]
Spectral ratio method[5][edit]
The geometry of a zero-offset vertical seismic profile (VSP) makes it an ideal survey to use for the calculation of Q using the spectral ratio method. This is because of the coincident raypaths that traverse a given rock layer, ensuring that the only path difference between two reflected waves (one from the top of the interval and one from the bottom) is the interval of interest. Stacked surface seismic reflection traces would offer similar signal-to-noise ratio over a much larger area but cannot be used with this method because every sample represents a different raypath and therefore will have experienced different attenuation effects.[6]
Seismic wavelets captured before and after traversing a medium with seismic quality factor, Q, on coincident raypaths will have amplitudes that are related as follows:
- ;
where and are the amplitudes at frequency after and before traversing the medium; is the reflection coefficient; is the geometrical spreading factor and is the time taken to traverse the medium.
Taking logarithms of both sides and rearranging:
This equation shows that if the logarithm of the spectral ratio of the amplitudes before and after traversing the medium is plotted as a function of frequency, it should yield a linear relationship with an intercept measuring the elastic losses (R and G) and the gradient measuring the inelastic losses, which can be used to find Q.
In practice prominent phases seen on seismograms are used for estimating the Q. Lg is often the strongest phase on the seismogram at regional distances from 2° to 25°, because of its small-energy leakage into the mantle and used frequently for estimation of crustal Q. However, attenuation of this phase has different characteristics at oceanic crust. Lg may be suddenly disappeared along a particular propagation path which is commonly seen at continental-oceanic transition zones. This phenomenon refers as "Lg-Blockage" and its exact mechanism is still a puzzle.[7]

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 4/1/13
The already battered Celtics could be without their captain against Minnesota Monday night. According to ESPN's Chris Forsberg, Paul Pierce turned his ankle in the first quarter which forced him to sit out the final 13 minutes of the Celtics' 108-89 loss to the Knicks Sunday. Pierce was seen on the bench with an ice pack taped to his right ankle. From Forsberg's piece: It's just a little sore," Pierce said. "I turned it in the first quarter. It shouldn't be a problem." Informed that Rivers suggested he'll get a night off, Pierce responded, "A possibility. We'll talk tonight." After noting that Pierce had said he was fine, Rivers said, "We're going to give him a rest, we're going to sit him games, for sure. Very soon." Pressed on if that meant Monday's game, Rivers answered, "Probably." Boston is already playing without Kevin Garnett for the next week or two, at least, as he recovers from ankle inflammation and Courtney Lee is nursing an ankle injury of his own. With Rajon Ro...

Our brains are hardwired for worry. While our ancient ancestors had a legitimate use for the fight-or-flight instinct, today what was once a matter of survival has become the stuff of sleepless nights and anxiety-filled days. At its best, worry is a way for us to turn over and solve a problem in our minds. But for many, worry becomes a negative cycle of unnecessary suffering. Now, based on cutting-edge brain science, Dr. Martin Rossman has developed a program to help you break the worry cycle—and transform worry into a positive force.
In The Worry Solution, Dr. Rossman gives you an easy-to-follow plan for taking control of your reactions to stress and anxiety. Using proven clinical techniques that harness the very power of imagination that creates worry and stress, you will learn the five basic skills that will help you to clarify your worries, sort them into those you can and cannot do something about, and tap the wisdom buried deep within you to help solve problems creatively. At the heart of the program is the use of guided imagery and creative visualization, techniques that invigorate the emotional and intuitive parts of the brain to add to and enhance logical intelligence.
Not only can you start to see a change in your stress levels immediately, but with regular practice, you may literally alter the worry pathways in your brain—and "hardwire" yourself for calmness and clarity. Grounded in cutting-edge science and wonderfully accessible, The Worry Solution is a powerful and practical guide to living your best life—healthier, happier, and free from unnecessary stress.
Andrew Weil, M. D. is a world-renown leader and pioneer in the field of integrative medicine, a healing-oriented approach to health care, which encompasses body, mind, and spirit. He holds an undergraduate and medical degree from Harvard University. Approximately 10 million of Dr. Weil's books have been sold, including Spontaneous Healing, 8 Weeks to Optimal Health, and Healthy Aging.

Report: Redskins, Bills in clear on bounty allegations
With the allegations coming to light against the New Orleans Saints and the eventual suspensions, some thought the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins might face sanctions because of Gregg Williams coaching with each team.
Mark Maske of the Washington Post reports that the league has looked into those allegations and found "no evidence of the type of program that existed at the Saints." Per the report, investigators weren't able to find "independent, multiple corrorboration" of statements made in the media.
Maske's source said that the case could be reopened if any new evidence comes to light. At present, though, both teams are in the clear.
According to Josh Alper at ProFootballTalk.com, "Maske had one of the reports that quoted multiple former Redskins about the existence of a bounty program and helped touch off the investigation. Former Redskins safety Matt Bowen also claimed there was a bounty program in place while Williams ran the defense in Washington. Williams was the Redskins defensive coordinator from 2004 to 2007. Former Bills safety Coy Wire leveled similar allegations against Williams, who was the head coach of the Bills from 2001 to 2003."

Seventh Annual Reckless Kelly Celebrity Softball Jam is Sunday, May 31
This weekend some of Texas and Red Dirt's biggest stars will take the field alongside some serious baseball and softball talent, and it's all for the kids.
This weekend some of Texas and Red Dirt's biggest stars will take the field alongside some serious baseball and softball talent, and it's all for the kids.
This weekend is gonna be a big one in Waco. If you plan on attending the 17th Annual Wade Bowen Classic, we've got everything you need to know right here.
Jack Ingram has joined friends, peers and fellow Texans; Kevin Fowler and Willie Nelson and cut a "Don't Mess with Texas" jingle/PSA.
Country star Jack Ingram has teamed up with University of Texas head football coach Mack Brown and actor Matthew McConaughey to stage an event called Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJ&M), which will take place on April 11 and 12, 2013 in Austin, Texas. The event is the first in what organizers intend as a yearly charity outreach designed to support causes dedicated to empowering children across America.
There are plenty of reasons to love Southwest Airlines. But free baggage, funny flight attendants and low prices are nothing compared to the cool factor of the airline inviting Jack Ingram to perform an in-flight concert in honor of a military couple who was on board recently. On a flight from Austin to Dallas, the Texas native singer honored the family by playing 'Wherever You Are' in honor of 22-year-old Purple Heart recipient Jeremy Smith.
On this day back on 1970 Jack Ingram said hello to the world in Houston. It's his birthday today and he is 41. On this "two for Tuesday" I thought I would feature a Jack Ingram double play.
