Spacecast project to forecast space weather goes live
by Athena Dina on 1 Mar 2012
The Earths Electron Radiation belts British Antarctic Survey ©
A new European Union system to forecast space weather goes live today, 1st March. Led by researchers at British Antarctic Survey (BAS), the €2.54m Spacecast project will provide frequent and reliable web-based forecasts so that satellite operators can take action to protect their satellites from space radiation damage.
Researchers from six European countries, working in partnership with colleagues in the USA and two European companies, use satellite data, ground-based measurements of the Earth's magnetic field, and state-of-the-art computer models to forecast space weather for the region where most satellites orbit the Earth. This is the so-called Van Allen radiation belt – a doughnut-shaped ring of charged particles, trapped within the Earth's magnetic field that encircles the planet high above the equator.
Space weather is of intense interest to the UK and US Governments. Millions of dollars have been lost as a result of large magnetic storms in space causing satellite damage. In 2003 a large magnetic storm caused more than 47 satellites to malfunction, including the total loss of a scientific satellite valued at $640m. The largest magnetic storm ever recorded – the Carrington storm of 1859 – occurred long before society became reliant on satellites for TV, internet, navigation and telecommunications. If such a super-storm occurred again the cost could be as high as $30bn1.
Changes on the Sun trigger magnetic storms around the Earth, and during the 11-year sunspot cycle the number of moderate to large magnetic storms varies from about 15 to 60 per year or more. A new sunspot maximum is expected to increase the number of magnetic storms between 2013 and 2015. The new forecast system, which is updated every hour, will help protect satellites used for navigation, telecommunications, remote sensing and other services.
Professor Richard Horne from British Antarctic Survey, who is leading the project, said 'The Sun is becoming more active again triggering more geomagnetic storms which generally increase space radiation. These changes are an important part of space weather and are a serious natural hazard. For the first time we can now forecast radiation levels for a whole range of different orbits, from geostationary to medium Earth orbit where there is a tremendous growth in the number of satellites. Nobody has done that before.'
'In putting this system together we have adapted our research models for operational needs. We can forecast one to three hours ahead; longer than that and changes can happen so quickly that we lose reliability.'
The forecasts are available
and provide a risk index for satellite operators. Satellites continue to operate during space weather events, but given advance warning operators can reduce the risk of disruption by switching off non-essential systems, re-routeing signals, and by re-scheduling orbit manoeuvres and software upgrades.
One of the novel features of the forecasts is that space radiation levels are computed from the physics of wave-particle interactions. Observations at British Antarctic Survey's Halley Research Station, Antarctica, have long shown that special types of very low frequency VLF electromagnetic waves can increase as well as decrease space radiation levels2. These variations (or VLF wave measurements) are now incorporated into the forecasting models. Over the next two years Spacecast will be working on the physics so that the team can improve the forecasts, extend them to the lower energy 'seed' electrons, and model solar energetic particle events.

The hydraulic valves are units that help in directing the flow properly of any liquid substance through the designed hydraulic system. The medium of the liquid differs in the system although it is usually oil. The direction in which the liquid medium flows through the system is determined by the set position of the system's spool.A hydraulic system will only function if there are right valves in place. Hence, it is very important to take care that there are correct types of valve set everywhere as per the requirement of the hydraulic system to help in serving the intended purpose.

Space Expanders For Laminate Wood Flooring
Laminate wood flooring is known as floating wood tile flooring. This flooring is never fitted on the floor by glue or by nailing it down. Laminate wood floating floor requires a lot of gap and space across the room floor for the purpose of expansion. To achieve proper space expansion, there are spacers that are available for flooring. They give room for the flooring to expand properly. The user can hide the expansion area that is set for the flooring to expand with the space expanders temporarily. They are fitted at the skirting of the floor. Skirting is the best area to use the expanders because it will give the floor a perfect finish and once the expansion is complete the expanders can be removed easily. There is a point to be noted that the skirting of the floor needs to be lifted before installation of this for the surface.

How much would you pay to live in Christian Grey's kinky Fifty Shades of Grey penthouse? Some people are laying down serious money to move into the Seattle apartment building featured in the movie trailer. Since the movie trailer's debut, sales at the complex —where the average unit costs around $1 million— are through the roof. The building's real estate broker told CNNMoney that it's overwhelmingly women ages 19 to 50 who call his firm, begging also to spend a night or two in the famous (and let's not forget fictional) penthouse.

I like the approach.
Perhaps an execution closer to the consumer would have worked nicely too. (ie. paw on the BBQ, head in sushi restaurant, etc...)
Interesting take, the shock factor is definitely there. Not sure how people who see it will relate it back to bluefin tuna though. I like the idea of 'think panda', but there just seems to be a disconnect here. I mean, furry mammal vs. slimy fish?
I'm walking away from this ad thinking about pandas in the hold- tuna can't be farther from my mind right now.

I can't tell you how long it took me to learn to take notes in class. It seems like every class I would learn a move and the next class I had forgotten some of the details. I would go to do the move and not even realize that my hand was in the wrong place or my hips weren't where they were supposed to be. I did this for over a year.
It wasn't until I went to a seminar and I saw a black belt taking notes that I got the idea. If he's doing it, that means I probably should. I began taking notes and when my dojo would announce what moves they were working on for that day, I would just go back to those pages! This way you don't have to learn everything again and you can take more detailed notes. You are learning new parts every time jiu jitsu moves are covered in class. Plus I find just writing it down helps me remember the technique more than if I was just watching.
Now I'll admit I felt a little weird about bringing a note book out during Brazilian jiu jitsu instruction, but soon my instructor started hinting to everyone that it would be a good idea. After all you don't go to high school or college classes and sit through the class and remember everything do you? Well if you do you don't need this forum, but if you're like most of us you remember more if you take notes. Give it a shot, once I started it got me over my biggest hurdle to succeeding in bjj competition, remembering what I had learned.
There is something else great about taking notes. You know all of those awesome dvds and videos showing jiu jitsu moves that your instructors hate (all of you "Youtube Ninjas")? You can actually watch them and compare them to your notes. This will let help you remember specifics of each move and allow you to compare instruction. You can then wow your BJJ instructor when you ask him why other schools teach different versions.

To book your session, please email me at email@example.com
Valentine's Day has always been my favorite holiday! I'm not sure if it's all the red (my favorite color), hearts and candy…or the prospect of having a valentine to spend time with. Who is your valentine this year? I hope you spend the day with someone special…because when it comes down to it, it's all about the LOVE!
Want to get a gift for your valentine? How about a fine art boudoir session? See more of my Boudoir Sessions on my website and contact me to book your session today! Right now, I'm running a winter special for boudoir sessions so inquire for pricing and information.
I'm completely honored to have not only my photos, but also my words published in an article I wrote for Snippet and Ink! I am addicted to travel and have enjoyed going to so many great locations across the world. While I mostly photograph destination weddings, I also create travel photography featuring destinations, properties and cultures. I've been lucky enough to have my travel photos featured in various publications as well as write several articles discussing my travel experiences and stories. I even have my own little travel journal filled with stories from my adventures.
This is the second article in the series I've written for Snippet & Ink on honeymooning in Italy. In this article, we're exploring the beautiful Amalfi Coast just south of Naples where I discuss my favorite towns to visit, great hotels to stay at and be pampered as well as my favorite food! If you're honeymooning in the Amalfi Coast or in Italy, be sure to check out this article for all of my tips and recommendations.
You can read the entire article by clicking on the image below:

Hi all,
Since the WP-Cron didn't work on my server, I wrote one by my own. I'm just wondering if this works in your environments too.
Usage: add scripts which you like to run on schedule via the admin option menu.
Known Issues:
The plugin uses the system() function, and if the adding scripts contain relative paths in their codes, it seems it doesn't work.
The plugin also doesn't return errors when a script didn't run properly.
If you have solutions for this, it would be greatly appreciated. Any information would be appreciated as well.

12.12 Is Progress Possible? Bill Bradley on Changing the Future
Thursday, December 12th, 2013 | Allison Rizzolo
What is your vision for a future in which our national political leaders collaborate, in spite of their differences, and do the work their people want and need them to do? Can you even imagine it?
For former Senator Bill Bradley, a Democrat who represented the people of New Jersey for 18 years, there are a few variations of such a future.
Senator Bradley joined us this week for the latest installment of our Policy Breakfast series. On a snowy, messy New York morning, Bradley addressed a full room at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York, our partner in the series.
Adam Davidson, of NPR's Planet Money and The New York Times Magazine, spoke with the former Senator about the past, present and future of American politics.
Senator Bradley fondly recalled a time of personal relationships among members of Congress. "It was a time when there were personal relationships among members of Congress People lived in Washington and socialized with each other. It made a big difference," he said.

12.03 Welcome to Beyond the Polls
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 | Jean Johnson
Welcome to Beyond the Polls, our regular commentary on what Americans are thinking about pivotal issues our country and communities face. Each month, we offer a second look a deeper look at public opinion. We try to put survey results in context and enrich them by drawing on our extensive experience listening to citizens in both research and community settings over the years.
Our aim is to explore and understand the hopes, values, concerns, and priorities people bring to todays issues the public questions and controversies we think about every day. Just as important, we want to juxtapose the views that polling typically captures with what happens to those views when citizens have a chance to absorb and weigh different options for addressing issues and hear what other citizens have to say about them.
So what led us to develop Beyond the Polls? Here is some of whats behind the series:

12.03 Is There Really a Generation Gap on Social Security?
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 | Jean Johnson
Its reasonably clear that younger and older Americans think differently about tattoos. And maybe theres a divide over e-mail versus texting. But now that Congress and the President are resuming talks about long-term federal budget issues, proposals to reform Social Security to stabilize its costs are back on the table.
In contrast, opinion leaders like Paul Krugman and Senator Elizabeth Warren say we should expand Social Security, arguing that current retirement policies will leave too many Americans living in poverty in their later years.
So that raises a question: Are the views and preferences of younger and older Americans really at odds when it comes to Social Security? What do polls show, and what happens when Americans of all ages have a chance to talk together about this issue?
The answers to these questions will be important for us to explore as we and our elected officials discuss and negotiate solutions to the issue of Social Security.
A quick glance at some recent polling does seem to show some wide gaps among the generations:

11.13 3 Ways the White House's College Scorecard Can Better Serve Adult Prospective College Students
Wednesday, November 13th, 2013 | Christopher DiStasi
When the White House released a new College Scorecard earlier this year, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan wrote, Too often, students and their families dont have the right tools to help them sort through the information they need to decide which college or university is right for them. The White Houses scorecard aims to fill this gap by providing, in an easily digestible format, information like graduation rates, average costs and loan default rates. Policy makers say such data are important to judging the quality and performance of our schools. But the College Scorecard may not be reaching the students who need it most.
Earlier this year, we sat down with adults who are considering going or returning to college. It had been years since these individuals had seen a high school guidance counselor or a college prep class. For them, a tool like the College Scorecard could be immensely useful. But, in our focus groups, we found that the White Houses strategy does not line up with the habits of adult prospective students. In order to reach this group, which sorely needs unbiased college information and advice, the White House must better align the scorecard with their college search practices and priorities.
The following are three simple ways that the College Scorecard could be improved, based on our research.

11.11 How to FAIL at Engaging Faculty and Staff in Student Success Efforts
Monday, November 11th, 2013 | Isaac Rowlett
This post was originally published on the Completion by Design blog. Completion by Design is a national initiative, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, that works with community colleges to significantly increase completion and graduation rates. Read more about our work with Completion by Design.
Youve been there before: grading papers, wrapping up a student advising appointment, and trying to muster the energy to make it through another committee meeting. You glance at your screen - a new email from your president announcing a new initiative that will boost student success rates. Details are scarce, but youre promised that specific information is forthcoming.
What exactly, you wonder, is this student-success initiative? Didnt we try something like this already? Do we even have time for this?How will it impact me?
At Public Agenda we spend a lot of time helping college leaders to engage their colleagues in student success efforts. Weve encountered the above scenario time and time again, and over the past decade weve learned a thing or two about the dos and donts of fostering meaningful and collaborative change toward improved student outcomes.
But instead of simply listing what weve learned, weve had some fun creating an anti how-to guide. In other words, if your goal were to fail miserably, how would you carry out a student success effort at your campus? In what follows, youll find our top-ten tips for failure, followed by the implications of these disastrous moves for what actually helps the work succeed.

11.07 For adult students, confidence should be a good thing, but is it limiting their chances at success?
Thursday, November 7th, 2013 | Allison Rizzolo
For adults without a college degree, making the choice to go back to school can be intimidating. These adults have been out of practice as students for a year or often much longer. They need to believe that they will succeed in order to make it to the starting gate, never mind the finish line. Otherwise, they'd never go back. Ironically and unfortunately, this confidence can also prevent them from taking steps that could increase their chances for success.
We spent part of the last year speaking with many of these adult prospective students. None had degrees, though all were planning on taking the leap back to school within the next two years. In doing so, these adults face some grim statistics.
Just half of all undergraduate students earn a degree or certificate within 6 years. Among older students those who start college in their twenties or later the risk of dropping out is much higher. More than half (54 percent) of those students who start school at age 25 or older end up leaving within 6 years.
If adult students want to beat the odds, they need to start by choosing a school or program that's right for them. Most of the adults we spoke to were confident that they could do so:
- 76 percent agreed that there is enough information "out there" for people to be able to choose the college and program that best fits their needs they just have to make the effort to find it.
- 73 percent say they know someone who can give them good advice and guidance in choosing a program and college.
- 67 percent say they know someone who can give them good advice on how to pay for college and manage their finances.
On the one hand, this confidence and optimism could be advantageous in their pursuit of higher education. On the other hand, it may hinder these prospective students from asking important questions and properly evaluating all of the information they need to make good decisions.

10.29 Post-Sandy New York: A Model for Collaboration in Problem Solving
Tuesday, October 29th, 2013 | Will Friedman, Ph.D.
Today is the year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy here in New York. To remind us of the important work we have done and inspire us to tackle the work we still must do, we are reprinting Will Friedman's commentary on collaboration in post-Sandy New York. This piece was originally published in the Huffington Post.
Photo by Daniel Thornton
Former Mayor Ed Koch once said that "New York is the city where the future comes to rehearse." While he spoke these words in 1986, they have perhaps never been truer than they are today. As the city shapes its future post-Sandy, can it also become a role model for how a community of leaders and citizens can work together to solve complex and potentially volatile public problems?
The city, after fall, faces a steep challenge. New York is living in changed circumstances. Hurricanes, rare in our past, are now a part of our normal weather pattern. Every borough other than the Bronx is, or is part of, an island, and one that's going to become more prone to flooding. Meanwhile, as it's virtually impossible to evacuate the city, what can we do to insure the residents' safety?

10.22 Re-Linking the Self to Self Government: An Interview with Will Friedman
Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013 | Andy Fluke
Reprinted from the NCDD Community Blog
At the 2012 National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation (NCDD) national conference in Seattle, NCDD member and filmmaker Jeffrey Abelson sat down with over a dozen leaders in our community to ask them about their work and their hopes and concerns for our field and for democratic governance in our country.
Today were featuring the interview with Will Friedman, president of Public Agenda, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that helps diverse leaders and citizens navigate complex, divisive issues and work together to find solutions. A leading organization in our field, Public Agenda is a long-time organizational member and friend of NCDD. Public Agenda sponsored NCDD Seattle at the partner level last year.

10.17 Beyond the Polls: Why Polling on the Debt Ceiling is "Mushy"
Thursday, October 17th, 2013 | Jean Johnson
While we have avoided an unprecedented federal default for the time being, the debt ceiling matter hasnt been resolved. We could be right at the brink again in just a matter of months. Pundits and politicians from both parties lean on recent polls to demonstrate why their perspective is the one that the American public supports. But have a majority of Americans actually made up their minds about the debt ceiling? This is an issue where a single survey finding taken at face value or in isolation can be misleading.
What polling really reveals is that members of the public are still wrestling with the debt ceiling dilemma. Public opinion on this issue is still "mushy" a term used by Public Agendas founder Daniel Yankelovich to describe poll findings that arent stable because people are still absorbing new information and ideas, grappling with trade-offs and unsure what they really think. When opinions are still mushy, survey results can fluctuate dramatically. Once people become more realistic and settled in their views, public opinion tends to be remarkably steady over time.

10.03 We Must Help, Not Hinder, the Public on Understanding Health Care Reform
Thursday, October 3rd, 2013 | Allison Rizzolo
The argument to delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which led to this weeks government shutdown, is partly rooted in the assertion that the public does not support the law. Yet public opinion of the health care law is not as simplistic as some members of Congress (of both parties), and even the media, have painted it. Before we continue basing decisions that have real consequences on opinion regarding the Affordable Care Act, its worth taking a deeper look at how the public is really thinking about this issue.
Many of the recent polls, when taken together, suggest that the public is confused and unclear about many aspects of the Affordable Care Act. In the most recent health tracking poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation, 51 percent of respondents said they dont have enough information to understand how the law will impact them and their families. When asked to provide, in their own words, the one question they would most like to have answered to help them understand this impact, many focused on very basic information:
Will the medical insurance be free or will I have to pay?
Can you just put it in plain laymen language so we can understand what youre doing for us?
How is my care going to change?
Furthermore, while most recent polls suggest the public does not support the Affordable Care Act as a whole, when the law is broken down into its respective elements, they support whats in it. For example, in a 2012 poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation, majorities viewed individual elements of the law as either very or somewhat favorable:
- Closing the Medicare prescription drug coverage gap (78%)
- Allowing children to stay on parents health insurance until 26 (71%)
- Expanding Medicaid to cover more low-income, uninsured adults (66%)
- Prohibiting insurance companies for charging women more for coverage (61%)
- Prohibiting insurance companies from withholding coverage for preexisting conditions (60%)
Many people also don't realize that the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare are one and the same, and their opinions depend on how the law is referred to. In a CNBC poll from September, 24 percent of respondents said they felt "very negative" about the Affordable Care Act. In the same poll, 35 percent felt very negative about Obamacare.
When people lack basic information about a policy, and when they are unable to clearly understand how the benefits and tradeoffs of a policy will affect their lives, it's very difficult for them to get past impediments like denial and wishful thinking. And people need to resolve these impediments before we can fairly consider their opinion a clear-minded judgment of a policy or approach.
This confusion is a normal part of what happens when people are working through an issue and figuring out where they stand. Politicians are doing their constituents a disservice by playing political football with this issue when the public is still unresolved and in flux. In fact, their game-playing is creating even more hurdles for the public to navigate as they try to develop clear judgment on the issue of health care reform.
Our leaders ought to be helping, not hindering, the public as they grapple with complex issues like health care reform. And there are ways for them to do so. In fact, we have experimented with some approaches to engaging the public on this issue, with encouraging results.
In a forthcoming report from Public Agenda and the Kettering Foundation, we study how citizens think about the challenge of controlling health care costs. In particular, we examine how, when the public has the opportunity to examine choices and think through a few strategic facts like how our health care spending and outcomes rank against other countries they feel more confident about the issue. They are able to work through denial and wishful thinking and reach common ground on the sorts of policies they'd support as well as the policies that concern them.
As we wrote in the last Public Agenda Alert, when given the chance and with the right kind of support, citizens want to engage on long-term solutions to health care spending, and they do so with surprisingly productive results. Instead of bludgeoning the public with political spin and consequential brinksmanship, our leaders should provide more resources and opportunities to help citizens better understand the issue and come to a clear judgment on the approaches they support.

A near-missSeptember 12,2013
A near-miss
On Aug. 31, my son, his wife and two children were traveling from Montpelier to Johnson around 3:20 p.m. Approximately three or four miles north of Worester they came around a curve to find a young man in a black, or dark blue, sporty car in their lane. The driver was passing two vehicles. His vehicle hit my sons car on the drivers side front fender, ripping off the mirror and breaking the windshield, forcing my sons car into the guardrail.
The young driver left the scene. The two cars he was passing didnt stop, either. If anyone knows this young driver, who was wearing a dark baseball cap, and has front end or drivers side damage to his car (may have red paint residue on it), please contact me at 802-479-0653.
Fortunately, my son and his family had only minor injuries, but it could have been much worse. Names of those responding will be kept confidential. Thank you for any assistance you may provide.

News Summary: Reynolds American 4Q profit falls
THE RESULTS: Reynolds American's fourth-quarter profit fell 54 percent to $139 million on pension and trademark-related charges and other costs. But the nation's second-biggest tobacco company's earnings, excluding those items, rose about 6 percent as higher prices, productivity gains and stronger sales of smokeless tobacco offset cigarette volume declines and increased promotional spending.
FEWER CIGARETTES: The number of cigarettes sold by its R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. subsidiary fell about 3 percent during the quarter compared with a year ago.
PALL MALL, GRIZZLY GAINS: It sold 5.5 percent more of its Pall Mall cigarettes. It also sold 8 percent more of its Grizzly smokeless tobacco.

Off the edge of perfect, below, beyond perfect.
Have never understood the predilection for oversized lights at a front door. Studying historic gardens across Europe for decades, diminutive lighting, compared to USA, is the memo.
Tara Turf, below, to the foundation. Alone, enough to instigate a nastygram from any HOA. Here's the deal with Tara Turf, it's a rich way to live, according to Providence. And me.
Opulent patina, not pressure washed away, on the walls, below.
Pic, above, here.
Who knew I would ever think a collection of little green meatballs was charming? Indeed, these are. Here, they are a whimsical pun. You already thought the same thing, right?
The pair of small spheres. Swoon. Their plinths, double swoon.
Notice the climbing roses? Not the physical plant but what they do for the design. Taking very little space, espaliered, they give maximum lush.
Tiny gravel, above, color of the house, drifting into most-of-a-circle tiny flagstone, again colored to the house, terrace. With no edging between gravel/plants or gravel/flagstones. Your already picked up on this huge detail, edging, right?
Enfilade, above, is something we have at our ca. 1900 American farmhouse. Ours, 80' long, with heart of pine floor, I'll have to figure out how to get the shot, we even have the trees in back, but our pond is behind the trees.
Our house, now, has a small gravel parking court in front, we kept the previous owner's half-round of bricks at the front steps. Unbelievable, the vernacular language is the same, this home, above, and ours.
This front door, above, says the most important thing, "Welcome." And, "You want to come inside, this house is interesting, the people who live here I want to know and see more, the garden, and....."

Beloved is a pressure washing fool. One of these days, at present I leave the premises when he pressure washes, I will stand my ground, and instead of crime scene tape outlining a body on the ground, Beloved will pressure wash around my body on the wall of our home. If this were our home, above, I know his pressure washer would have something 'wrong' with it each time he tries to use it. Buy a new one? It would have something 'wrong', always, too.

Brave Enough to be this Simple?
Glen Ella, below, New Year's Eve.
Still in use, their barn, more than a century later, its current garden design pulls deep admiration.
Mostly, these barns are rotting/caving-in/gone across USA.
Go off the grid? These barns are original off the grid support.
Field gathered stones, below, still functioning.
Perhaps my favorite view of the barn, below. Simplicity of garden design, and views into the guts of its architecture. What is the narrative? Was it added on to? More than once?
Barn still in use, above, totally garden designed. Yet, to most, it will seem derelict, dangerous, and they will think, "Why don't they do something, or tear it down?" Without realizing the brain power creating this current narrative with form/function. More than brain power, a relationship with Providence.
Would you be this bold, above, as a garden designer?
Simplicity is a hard/impossible task.
Simplicity requires the ego to mask itself.
No worries about that, once you realize your ego can shine via the simplicity.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Arrived with friends, for dinner, at Glen Ella near dusk, the later seating was booked. Cold, little light, and everyone walked toward the entry, and warmth. Not me. I forgot they existed. My behavior, whence a good garden appears, targeted on the hunt. The garden, camera, me, a trinity & zone flying beyond time, social acceptance, whatever. Poor unfortunate souls needing drugs to arrive in this zone.
Have met 1 other soul with this trinity to Nirvana, in Italy, a Delta pilot. He/I were constantly in each other's way and beyond irritated, beyond the moon irritated. A few days of this hell we knew some sort of 'arrangement' had to be discovered, some sort of 'friendship'. Finally, we spoke. Of course he had to let me know he was a Captain, and a bit about his lovely large home etc. Woo-woo, let him know a friend's dad had been a Flying Tiger, and original pilot hire by Delta, and he lived around the corner from me growing up. Told you we didn't like each other up front. And by the way, someone had to train the astronauts how to fly their rockets, uh, that would be my dad in the simulator with them, former Air Force test pilot. Isn't it rare the events bringing out our best 7 year old selves, in a snit? Oh that archaic lizard brain. You know exactly what happened next. Talked our way to what is best for both of us, have been true friends since. He's a wonderful pilot, and person, the best. Adore his wife, she's a junker for antiques too.
Grew up knowing the neighbor was a Flying Tiger. Thought it was euphemism. During college saw a movie with John Wayne, Flying Tigers. Consistently, when I'm wrong, it's never a little.

Top Garden Design Feature to Help Sell Your Home
For decades this, below, was a bare slope with mulch.
Now, flow exists around the entire home.
Flow. Is it easy to walk around the entire home?
90% of my out-of-state Garden Design work has come from past clients hiring me for their new home. They've each said the same thing, "You helped me sell my home, fast." The ubiquitous beauty, color, lighting, etc. was important but I know the, unexpected, #1 reason they assume their Garden Design helped sell their home. Flow.
Flow. Get you some.

Front Porch: Foundation Plantings or Steps?
Easy knowing they use their front porch, below. Mosquito repellent sitting at the French doors on the right.
Their front yard is large & they have children.
Foundation plantings here are an interesting choice.
Of course, they have a fabulous large back yard too.
Privacy isn't needed otherwise the foundation plantings would be a bit taller.
Would you, if this were your home, keep the foundation plantings or move them & replace with steps?
Plant selection is perfecto. Large house & garden, 2 careers, children, dogs, and a yard easy to maintain.
Always ask questions. Makes you an instant garden designer.
If this were a town home front porch it's amazing how a bit of height on the foundation plantings provide a sitting area with privacy.

Front Door: Create an Entry
Ceilings are not high, below. A transom was over the door. I removed it and added a taller door & sidelights. Creating more height,
I chose 2 panels + the upward curve. Love the doorknocker Miss Florida found. We did a lot of back/forth online with knockers & paint color & hardware.
Urns fabulous enough to be empty were designed & plinths for height adjustment. Ironically, Miss Florida, who always says, I don't know anything, has consistently put in seasonal arrangements from prunings in her garden.
I also took away the foundation plantings, aka green meatballs, and used espaliered fruit trees + groundcovers.
The white is too white on the house. Alas, it had just been painted before I was hired.

How to Tame Trouble
Met a new client last nite with a no-mans-land of trees/ivy/invasives/drainage ditch/weeds. Its ownership 'looks' like it could be their property or their neighbors.
What to do is quite easy.
An entry & path will instantly take ownership and tame the trouble.
Clearing invasives, controlling ivy/weeds, planting desirable understory trees & etc... will take a bit more time. Happily, now there is a road map.

Fieldstone retaining wall, above, in dirt. No concrete + mortar. Italy has quite a few olive orchards, older than Christ, still holding proud their fieldstone in dirt terracing.
Stupid-does-have-a-price-tag, said fieldstone in dirt did not work, he wanted to make more money with concrete, mortar, chipped stone. I don't use him anymore. My jobs have grossed millions since then. Do the math.
When I mention my Team it's from the heart & head. They make my designs better. Why did I fall for SDHAPT? I met the author of Never Be Lied to Again, when I was the garden expert on NBC-TV morning show. Zero awareness of those lying to me at that time.

Front Porch Simplicity
When the competition is an old Pecan Orchard I know to go simple, below.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Pics taken this month at jobsite of several recent posts. Leaving the Pecan Orchard alone includes creating Tara Turf, siting daffodils, boxwood & historic brick path, keeping fence at the road and saying 'no' to foundation plantings.
Another fabulous Landscape Design making me unemployable to the largest landscape design/build/maintain companies across USA. Planned obsolescence of irrigation, keeping fence, no foundation shrubs, no zoysia, no annuals.
MATH on what 'those' companies would lose in installation & a single decade of maintenance with my design. New fence, irrigation system & rows-upon-rows-upon-rows of green meatball shrubs. Lawn: 2 acres sod, mowing, irrigation, pre-emergents, fertilizer, edging. Shrubs: several prunings yearly, mulch in the beds, pre-emergents, fertilizing, replanting annuals 2/year.
Minimum annuals charge is $500/season by the best firm (of course I use the best, Simply Flowers, & of course they are needed in many commercial, and residential situations.) Monthly maintenance $500. Fence $4000, irrigation $4000, mulch 350/year, chemicals/fertilizer 200/year, & foundation shrubs $5000, 2 acres zoysia sod $52,800.
$141,300.00 for a decade of traditional USA Landscape Design. My Landscape Design, above, $50/month maintenance fee, no foundation plantings, no irrigation, no chemicals, no mulch, little pruning, no sod, little mowing, keep fence, no fertilizer, no annuals, $6,000 for a decade. (A kind woman, I give away the concrete foundation expense of the brick path, mine are in dirt. Otherwise add another $5000)
$135,300.00 difference.
Has the math sunk in?
My work/style is not meant to save money, yet it does. It's historic Italian. Enfilade from the interior of the home, pollinator habitat, a thanks to Providence, a joy to look at and live within. When away on vacation my gardens are carried in the heart with a yearning to know everything while gone & return soon. If you can leave at all.

Of course, my favorite, is field stone.
Oddly, at the front end of availability pre-cut stone steps were the most expensive.
More odd, I meet people now, who think field stone steps are, by far, the cheaper choice.

Landscape Design Zero Plants: Before & After
Landscapes take 3 + years to look good, on average. Most gardens get stuck in the '+'.
Unfinished, this garden is ready for showtime. Those pallets of stone, above, MAKE the garden, below. Ha, no plants, yet a garden is born. Why?
Landscape Design 'listens' to the site.
The biggest focal point in a garden? Your home. Vanishing Threshold.
Consider: paint colors, light fixtures, shutters, doors, views into windows, turning windows into doors, getting rid of disgusting foundation plantings, pathways to move the eye + foot thru your garden, land stewardship, how to be in the garden for pleasure (tea-wine-canapes-luncheon-reading ipad-etc.), historical concepts of landscape design, thriftiness, no watering once established, no chemicals ever, no fertilizing once organically stabilized, groundcovers instead of mulch, succession planting, something coming into bloom throughout the year, canopy trees, understory trees, evergreen walls, & more.
Consider all of the above & you won't wait 3 years, or 3 seconds, for a beautiful garden.
Proof is in the pics above.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Look at the new frontdoor again. See what I did? Took out the transom, replaced with a taller door. Getting rid of that subdivisiony horrendous aspect, ca. 1970's, of windows/door at same height. Guess how we chose the color for the frontdoor? (Another post.)
Eco Gardening is a SMALL concept. Vanishing Threshold is how I create a garden.

My hope & prayer? In addition to complete recovery, I want to hear her ask: why those boxwoods are 6" off, why didn't you get bigger elms, why isn't the potager edged with dwarf boxwood, why aren't existing boxwoods-in-pots sited & etc.

SEP 20, 2013 - American Prospect
A Must Read - Share
Activists for immigration reform block the intersection of Independence Avenue and New Jersey Avenue outside Capitol Hill last week.
Earlier this week, top advocates of immigration reform met at the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the National Democrat Network (NDN), a center-left think tank, to discuss the prospects of getting a bill through Congress by year's end. "The fundamentals are stronger than at any time during the last ten years," said Tamar Jacoby, president and CEO of ImmigrationWorks USA, told the audience.

Ishe Smith Responds: Pirog is a One Hit Wonder!
By Ishe O. Smith Sr., in response to WBO champion Dmitry Pirog
I'ts hard for the ball to be in someone's court who is not running the point, the harsh reality is the only ones who seem to care about my career is Team Smith and my family. That's a tough pill to swallow given I am coming off one of Showtimes best fights of the year (their words, not mine).
It has been tough to get fights, even tougher to not feel important; I meant when I said that I am willing, ready, and able to challenge Pirog, we can do it on Mars if he likes. Its out of my hands and my control though, so don't put a ball in my court that I can't run no plays with. You challenged me last year on a 3 weeks notice, after you seen my fight with [Fernando] Guerrero. I doubt you really wanted to fight me anyway.
Until you prove me otherwise you're a one hit wonder to me, and if this fight was to ever get made I would show you. We are both warriors,and matters like this are settled in the squared circle. I wish there was more I could do, but Team Smith has tried and exhausted their efforts. In closing I will continue to trust in God and work hard and put all my faith in him because its his will not mine.
[QUOTE=Stones!;10041653]Well said. :fing02: Pirog is a different class of fighter than the pathetic journeyman, Ishe.[/QUOTE] I agree with you on this one Stoney. not to mention some solid wins over a couple other fringe contenders.

I went to TRU today to see if they had the Minifigure Collection set. They did not, but I ended up buying 7630, and thought I might do a review.
Set Number: 7639
Set Name: Front-end Loader
Price: USD $12.99 (this was at Toys R Us, so it's probably going to be a little cheaper elsewhere)
Front of the box:
Back of the box:
Inside the box: two polybags, one loose piece, and a very small sticker sheet:
Random instruction page:
Hey, look! More classic space hinges!
The build itself isn't terribly interesting, but there were a few small SNOT bits--the front lights:
And the back:
Here we come upon something interesting: the little piston-looking piece. The last page of the instructions show it simply dangling:
That would leave that piece looking like this:
Now, that would allow it to be a kind of stop to hold the raised arm in place:
However, I find it more likely that it should be attached in the way shown on the box:
I think it just looks better.
Here are two shots of the completed loader (I'll take some size comparison photos later):
Here is a picture of the loader next to the dump truck--quite a smashing pair, if you ask me. I'm glad that LEGO chose to release them as separate sets, but they really should be bought together.
A few interesting things to notice about the piston/brace/whatever it is.
The friction is enough to hold the bucket up when it is held higher than this:
When it's at this point, or any lower, the bucket begins to slip downwards. Fortunately, it is around this point that the bucket can be braced, allowing it to stay in place:
Also, it is necessary to disconnect the piston in order to dump the bucket's load from high up:
When connected, this is as far as the bucket can tip:
This is a neat little set, but not extremely good as a stand-alone. In contrast with the dump truck--which came with rocks, a road sign, traffic cones, a barrier, and minifig tools--this set has no accessories whatsoever. However, it does look very much like a real front-end loader, and I would recommend it to anyone who is making a construction site, particularly if you do not own a loader.
