Clifford Chance's board is locked in discussions to decide which partners will become the next generation of management.
The board spent last Friday (19 January) in a late-night meeting in Hong Kong. One of the topics addressed was the management succession.
The issue is the subject of much speculation within the firm. One insider confirms that succession was on the agenda at the board meeting, and adds: "One of the big topics right now is the succession stuff – people are talking about it down the pub."
Another insider says: "It's something we keep asking, that succession planning has to take place, but you have to balance that with democracy, which is the difficult bit."
The talks come only weeks after chief operating officer Garth Pollard announced he was taking early retirement and was stepping down ahead of schedule (The Lawyer, 8 January).
"A replacement for Garth has to be found," says a partner.
But sources at the firm were quick to quash market rumours that chairman Keith Clark was to follow Pollard's lead and step down early.
One senior source says that Clark will be spending more time outside London, but denies that he is to quit the post of chair. Last year, Clark spent three months in New York and is currently in Hong Kong for two months. Clark was one of the key architects of the Clifford ChancePünder Volhard Weber & Axster and Rogers & Wells mergers.
Several key management changes are understood to be on the cards. Asia managing partner John East is believed to want to return to London in the summer and a replacement for Pollard needs to be selected. Current chief executive officer Michael Bray is being tipped for a more senior post in the future.
One insider says: "I think people think there's no alternative. [Bray] is not a figurehead or a worker of the crowd and he'd never sack a partner, but as an ideas man people are very happy with him."
Another idea being put up for proposal is the increased use of professional managers. The source adds: "Professionals would be used to make sure the books are balanced and the place is efficient."
The board, which has no real decision-making power, is viewed as the "conscience" of the firm. Keith Clark currently chairs the board, which meets quarterly.

CLEVELAND -- The base hits didn't pile up so easily or quickly against Jake Westbrook this time. The sinker-made grounders that found every possible hole in the infield turned into outs.
His linescore looks better, and so does his record.
Westbrook pitched his second shutout this season and earned his 50th career win, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night.
Westbrook (9-7) limited the Angels to nine hits -- all singles and just two after the third inning -- and has won consecutive starts for the first time since April 4-9. He walked one (not until the eighth), struck out seven and has pitched into the sixth inning in 11 of his past 12 starts.
The right-hander was coming off a 15-hit win over Boston in which he became the first pitcher since Montreal's John Dobson in 1988 to give up at least that many hits and win. After three innings, the Angels had seven hits and Westbrook began to wonder and worry.
"I thought for a second that I was going for the 15-hit record again," he joked.
No chance.
Using his sinker to near perfection, Westbrook got the Angels to bounce into three double plays. It was Westbrook's third career shutout -- he blanked Kansas City on May 17 -- and his 10th complete game.
"After the third inning he relaxed and used the zone and got into his game," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He got the double plays when he needed them."
The Indians had one of their best defensive efforts. In the first, rookie left fielder Joe Inglett made a diving catch to rob Garret Anderson with two on. In the fourth, shortstop Jhonny Peralta took away a single from Juan Rivera with a nice, backhanded stab.
"It was nice to sit back and watch the guys play," Westbrook said.
The Angels lost for the first time in five games and remained three games back of first-place Oakland in the AL West. With the Athletics losing 14-0 to Texas, the Angels blew a chance to gain ground.
Victor Martinez had three hits off John Lackey (10-8), and Shin-Soo Choo had three hits and an RBI as the Indians snapped a four-game losing streak.
Lackey, the AL pitcher of the month in July, when he went 5-1, has dropped two straight decisions. He allowed three earned runs and nine hits in six innings, but had issues with his command and control.
Still, he was pleased with his outing.
"I felt good," he said. "I definitely pitched better than the numbers show."
With four rookies in their starting lineup, the Indians, whose last six losses have all come by one run, jumped to a 3-0 lead in the second against Lackey.
Martinez led off with a single and Peralta doubled. Choo followed with an RBI single before Lackey walked Hector Luna to load the bases. Rookie Ryan Garko hit a sacrifice fly to deep right, scoring Peralta.
One out later, Grady Sizemore hustled down the line to beat out an infield single to shortstop Orlando Cabrera, who bounced his throw to first in the dirt for an error, allowing Choo to score.
"John had one rough inning," Scioscia said. "But if we could have found a way to score it would have been different."
Lackey's wildness gave the Indians a 4-0 lead in the fourth. He walked Luna, who came around to score when Inglett drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs.
Cleveland's 11 shutouts are the second-most in the majors behind Detroit's 13, and the club's highest total since 1989. Eight of the shutouts have come at home. ... 3B Maicer Izturis is the first Angels player whose last name starts with the letter "I". ... Cabrera's error was the Angels' 89th, most in the AL. Los Angeles has also given up a major league-high 70 unearned runs. ... Westbrook is 50-50 in 121 career starts. ... Mistaken identity: A 2004 Casey Blake baseball card is pinned up in the Indians' clubhouse across from his locker. It contains Blake's biography and playing statistics on the back, but the front photograph is of former Cleveland catcher Josh Bard. ... Indians manager Eric Wedge said he has no jobs promised in his bullpen next season. "It's wide open," he said. "We've got multiple people out there who could be a part of our bullpen next year, but that's up to them. We need to figure out what we've got out there, and who fits where for next season." ... The Indians are expected to recall RHP Jeremy Guthrie to start the second game of their day-night doubleheader Saturday with Kansas City.

Add or modify an object
You can add an object to the artboard by selecting a tool in the Toolbox or in the Asset Library, and then drawing the object on the artboard by using your mouse. When you work on a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) or Silverlight 2 project, you can also select a styled or custom control from the Asset Library, drag a styled control from the Resources panel, or drag resources from the Resources panel onto an existing object on the artboard to apply the resource to one of the object's properties.
The following procedures assume that you have a project open in Design view in Microsoft Expression Blend.
You can add an object to the artboard by doing one of the following:
Double-click the icon for a control (such as a Rectangle , Grid , Button , or TextBlock ) in the Toolbox. The object is inserted into the top-left corner of the artboard at a default width and size.
Select the control's icon in the Toolbox and use your mouse to draw the control on the artboard.
If you cannot see a tool or control in the Toolbox, you might have to right-click one of the tools, select the tool or control that you want from the list that appears, and then double-click the icon.
Open the Asset Library by clicking the Asset Library button in the Toolbox.
In the Asset Library, select the Show All check box to view all the available assets.
Do one of the following (some options apply to WPF only, as indicated):
To add a system control Under Controls, select the System Controls resource dictionary, select a control from the list, and then use your mouse to draw the control on the artboard.
To add a styled control that occurs in a resource dictionary (WPF only) Under Controls, select the resource dictionary (for example, Simple Styles), select a styled control from the list, and then use your mouse to draw the control on the artboard.
You can create your own resource dictionaries by using the New Dictionary button in the Resources panel. For more information, see Resources.
To add a styled control that is defined in your project (WPF and Silverlight 2 only) Under Local Styles, select a styled control from the list, and then use your mouse to draw the control on the artboard.
Styles are created by selecting an existing control and then modifying its style or template. You can also convert any property value in the Properties panel to a resource. For more information, see Resources.
To add a media item Under Media, select a media item from the list (such as an image or video file), and then use your mouse to draw the control on the artboard.
The media file must already be listed under Files in the Project panel. To add a file to your project, use Add Existing Item on the Project menu. For more information about how to use media files in Expression Blend, see Media.
To add a custom or user control (WPF and Silverlight 2 only) Under Custom Controls, select a custom control from the list, and then use your mouse to draw the control on the artboard.
If you have added a custom control or user control to your project and you do not see it listed under Custom Controls, build your project (CTRL+SHIFT+B), and then open the Asset Library again. For more information, see Try it: Create a custom WPF control and Try it: Create a WPF user control.
You can type into the Search text box to filter the list of assets that appears in any tab of the Asset Library.
From the Resources panel, expand the nodes, and then select a resource.
Drag the resource onto the artboard.
If the resource is a style or a template, an instance of the control that the resource was created from is added to the artboard, with the style or template already applied.
If the resource is a property value, a pop-up menu appears that gives you the option to create a new object and then apply the style to one of its properties, or apply the style to one of the existing objects on the artboard.
Do one of the following:
Modify the object by using the on-object handles that appear on the artboard when you move the pointer over the corners of the object's blue bounding box. These handles enable you to rotate , resize or flip , move , or add a corner radius to the object. If you do not see the on-object handles, click the Selection or Direct Selection tool, and then select the object.
You can change the behavior of the on-object handles in the following ways: To constrain the aspect ratio, hold the SHIFT key when you resize or scale. To maintain the position of the center point (instead of maintaining the position of the opposite corner or edge), hold the ALT key when you resize, scale, or skew. To snap every 15 degrees, hold the SHIFT key when you rotate.
Modify the object by selecting it under Objects and Timeline and then changing the properties in the Properties panel. You can use this method to change the appearance of the object, change its location, or bind data to specific properties on the object. For more information, see Appearance overview, Layout overview, and Data handling overview.
Animate the object. For more information, see Animation overview.
Create a template for the object (WPF and Silverlight 2 only) by selecting the object under Objects and Timeline, and then selecting Edit Style or Edit Control Parts (Template) under the Object menu. You should do this only on simple control objects. For more information, see Controls overview, Style and template overview, and Working with simple styles.

We recently spoke with Ball State defensive line commit Dan Manick to see how his senior year is shaping up. The Cardinal-to-be is hitting the weights hard to bulk up for his freshman season at BSU. "Right now I'm in the weight room 5 days a week," Dan told the BallStateInsider.com. "I just want to be in the best shape possible when I report for camp this summer." His numbers are pretty impressive, boasting a 300 lb power clean, 475 lb squat, and 295 lb bench max to go along with his 6'4" 265 pound frame.
Currently, Dan is slotted to man the defensive end position in the Cardinals' 3-4 scheme, but may develop into a defensive tackle if he continues to gain size and strength at his current pace. That's fine with him. "I don't care where I play, whether it's punter or defensive line, I'm just really excited to get things going and see the field as soon as possible," he says. That will probably happen sooner rather than later, as BSU graduates a couple key contributors up front in tackles Amara Koroma and Jacob Jordan.
In addition to starring on the football field, Dan is also the starting pitcher for the Lake Central Indians, and will look to lead them to the Duneland Athletic Conference title this season. Following baseball season, he's off to Muncie, where he'll begin prepping for the season and a future career in the medical industry.

After having a fractured radius, which I consulted an Ortho Surgeon, who wanted to pin the bone, I went to Dr. McGraw who suggested that I treat it conservatively and have PT, I followed his recommendation, and I have full range of motion and function. I am very impressed with his modality of care, and his ability to explain the reason for his decisions.

Best Dr. EVER!
When I relocated from the West Coast (and parted with an extremely good Dr. in the Bay Area to Asheville, I was fortunate to have Dr. McGraw recommended to me. As wonderful as the CA Doctor was...Dr. McGraw "raised the bar." He's kind, so well-educated/medically astute, and has a truly compassionate heart. He doesn't "hustle" you through your appt. and is very comprehensive. Sometimes the wait-times can get extended...but it's worth it! I trust him completely with my health-care.

My favorite family doctor
Dr Mcgraw has been our family doctor for the past 6 years and he is the best one that I've ever been to. He truly cares for his patients and always takes the time to listen and explain everything. He is a little old school which I prefer, as sometimes the more natural and less invasive methods are the better routes in my opinion.

Personally I prefer a doctor who checks my vitals and chest, stomach, etc. each time I visit and is more hands-on. Of all my appointments I had with him I got up on the exam table less than 10% of the time. When a physician is focusing on his laptop with a patient sitting in a chair in the corner it seems a bit distant from the one-on-one relationship 'family doctors' used to me known for. Perhaps health care has changed. Many of my appointments could have been done over Skype.

The only doctor I've ever trusted!
I cannot say enough about Dr. McGraw. On my very first visit he spent over an hour talking with me about my history and health issues. That is what hooked me! He has ever been genuinely concerned for personal and physical well being. I can call at anytime and get a sameday appointment whenever I need it. I wouldn't go to anyone else. I usually can't stand doctors, but I really love this one! I recommed him to everyone!

Very knowledgeable and professional
Our son in law is a drug rep and he highly recommended him out of all the other doctors he called on. We have found him to be very knowledgable and caring. He takes time with us and wants more than anything to help and have his patients healthy. He recommended The Paleo Diet to my husband for healthy weight loss. A chapter on auto immune disorders has helped me tremendously with urticaria, something horrible I've delt with for 10 years. I will forever be grateful for a doctor that really cares.

As a physician, I have been seeing Dr. McGraw for 5 years. He is very competent, knowledgeable and shows such compassion and concern.

Police claim more than 9000 computers infected
The Technological Crime Unit of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have charged a 16-year-old youth in connection with the Randex computer worm. PCs belonging to the youth are believed to have been seized, and a computer forensics team have analysed them for evidence.
The youth, who lives in the area of Mississauga, near Toronto, is believed to have created the many different versions of the Randex worm which first appeared in the middle of 2003. According to the RCMP, more than 9000 computers were infected by the worms.

Defining activity-friendly environments in the rural south
This grant supports a project titled "Defining activity-friendly environments in the rural South" -- a collaborative project between the University of Mississippi and the University of Alabama, conducted in rural areas of these two states. The purpose of the project is to work collaboratively with two other RWJF-funded Active Living Research sites (University of Southern Maine [USM] and Tufts University) to develop, evaluate and disseminate both an objective and a subjective instrument to measure the rural environment and how it influences physical activity. The University of Mississippi/University of Alabama team will lead the development of the subjective instrument, while working with USM and Tufts to develop the objective instrument (USM) and disseminate findings (Tufts).

Storm Drain
Gordon's esophogal linings quivered as the acrid smelling liquid scorched its way down his now incredibly sore throat. Burnt to the core, yet grateful for the kind gesture, he motioned to Hannah in fidgeting urgency for a cold glass of water.
"Oh dear? Is the tea too hot? Let me fetch you a glass of water."
She flicked on the tap, sending oodles of brown slop into a tall glass. Pouring out the tainted water, followed by a quick perusal of the fridge resulted in the discovery of a bottle of Aquafina from long ago.
"Here you go."
Hannah franticly launched the bottle towards Gord, but in the process knocked the lamp on the pile of Oprah's into an explosion of shards over the carpet.
"Oops.. I have bad aim" blushed Hannah as Gordon still writhed in pain.
Gordon could not contain the pain any longer, and with a quick jaunt to the sink, he gulped a contaminated slushy of deposited sediments that somehow found its way into the drainage system that day.
Cold and comforting, the pain washed away as the sludge made its way down Gordon's intestinal waterslide.
"God... that did not taste good." Gordon flexed his neck muscles in disgust.
Hannah handed him the water bottle she pitched to him prior to his gagging tantrum.
"Sorry, I just fired my plumber." pleaded Hannah.
Her plumber also happened to be an ex-boyfriend of hers, who frequently swindled her attention through thorough inspections of her pipes.
"I'm sorry to hear that..?" Gordon was uncertain of his attempts of condolence.
In an effort to divert her attention, he glanced downward at his watch.
"Shoot.. um.. I need to get to work.. like.. now..."
Hannah nervously played with her sweaty palms as her seduce-the-grieving-man-with-the-dead-hamster card started to wither away.
"Do you need a ride?" she asked.

Chapter Twenty-Two
Atlas, then Phaedos, by rhetoric
Word Count: 770
Atlas stood beside the motorcycle, her eyes wide. He had been attempting to coax her onto it for roughly five minutes. "If you're too frightened, Atlas, we will just have to wait for everyone to return with the car."
She glanced to him and hoped he could not read her as well as she thought he could. She didn't want anyone else to take her. Her finger twitched nervously as she reached out to grip his shoulder. She gave him a wary look but, without letting herself hesitate, swung herself onto the bike behind him. As she put on the helmet he handed her, she told herself it had to be like the transport bikes in Atlantis; but she knew she was wrong, the transport bikes at home were quiet and comfortable, they were not lithe and dangerous looking the way Phaedos' 'motorcycle' was. He kick started the engine and she clung to him.
The bike moved so quickly that Atlas was certain she was going to fall off; the country roads they took into the city sped by so swiftly she could not focus on anything around her. She wondered how Phaedos was able to navigate so smoothly when she wanted nothing more than to stare at the backs of her eyelids until they stopped moving. She could feel her nails digging into the muscles beneath his shirt, but he didn't show any signs of discomfort.
They sat upon the bench beside each other, their backs against a brick wall as they watched the tigers roam their artificial habitat. Atlas scooped a spoonful of black raspberry ice cream into her mouth quietly, the inside of her lips stained a deep purple They had spent two hours wandering the zoo on foot; she'd seen every exhibit available, twice. The conversations had been easy and relaxed, as were the silences, and he felt as if certain pieces inside of him were falling into place.
He'd gotten to thinking, some time between the giraffes and the flamingos, that she deserved to know the truth about him. He'd grown accustomed to keeping things to himself and the prospect of divulging information he had kept to himself for years seemed like a risk he wasn't certain he wanted to take. Besides, he wondered, what would he even start with? However, there was a strong, nagging pull in his mind to tell her, and he didn't think he could ignore it.
"Do you have no questions for me, Atlas? You do not worry whatever about my past or my intentions?" The questions were out before he could stop them but part of him was glad for that. He may never have gotten the conversation started otherwise.
She turned her eyes to him and rolled her shoulders. "Do you have no questions for me, Phaedos? You do not worry whatever about my past or my intentions?"
My, she was a clever one, he thought to himself. He wondered how long she'd known, how soon after their meeting she had been able to peg him for the puppet of fate that he was. "So you know who I am?" He was only mildly astonished; he should have guessed that she knew as much as, or more, about him than he knew of her. How could he have been so foolish as to think he would be the only one to recognize the events?
"Of course I know who you are, Anicetus, son of Heracles." She slipped a spoonful of ice cream between her lips and smiled at him.
He could not help but return the gesture. "You are not upset that I did not introduce myself properly in the beginning?"
The look on her face said that she had not thought about it. She paused, mulling over the question, and shrugged again. "People change over time, Phaedos," she said, "it is reasonable to assume that the names they are called by would change, too. No one thing is set in stone, not even a prophecy; if we cannot recognize something without being given the proper name then we are not worthy to recognize it at all."
He let the discussion rest for a long while. Eventually, she rose to dispense of her empty ice cream dish. It was her movement that pulled him out of his thoughts. He looked up at her, the sun shining behind her silhouette, burning into his eyes. In the shadowy, golden light, she glowed - her hair lit up with the mirrored yellow light, her eyes gleaming as if they alone could warm the planet she stood upon. He asked, "Does Elseron know?"

Coollattin Canadian Connection
Connecting Canadian Irish with their Coollattin roots
The COOLLATTIN CANADIAN CONNECTION is an initiative which has its headquarters in the village of Carnew in south County Wicklow. A major component of the brief of this company is the promotion of the rich history and heritage of the former Coollattin Estate. Partners in the project include the Genealogical Department at Wicklow County Council, Carnew Historical Society and Coollattin Golf Club. The project was jointly launched, in February last, at a function in Coollattin House. The official launch was performed jointly by His Excellency, Mr Kevin Vickers, the Canadian Ambassador to Ireland and Mr. Simon Harris T.D., Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform.
Between the mid 1830's and 1855 tens of thousands of the tenantry on the Coollattin Estate were assisted in emigrating to Canada. The aim of CCC is to provide a forum through which the descendants of these emigrants can seek out knowledge on their family history and have a return to the land of their forefathers facilitated.
Going forward, a long term aim of the Coollattin Canadian Connection is to plan and develop in south County Wicklow, a famine village where it is hoped to recreate the houses, school, and shops which were characteristic of the estate during the mid nineteenth century.
Pictured at the launch of the Coollattin Canadian Connection, (L to R) Mr Jack Lynch, Hon Secretary, Coollattin Golf Club, His Excellency, Mr Kevin Vickers, Canadian Ambassador to Ireland, Mr Jim Quinn, Captain, Coollattin Golf Club, Mr Kevin Lee, Project Leader CCC and Mr Michael Kelly, Chairperson, Old Coollattin Country.
The Irish Legacy
In Smiths Falls Ontario
23 June - 2 July, 2017
A band of twenty one 'pilgrims' from south County Wicklow will be honoured and privileged to retrace the steps of the thousands of Coollattin emigres who found a new home in the great land of Canada during the sad and troubled years of mid 19th century Ireland. It will be a truly wonderful experience to meet up once again with those who were our guests last August, to 'break bread' and share tales with the descendants of those who left Coollattin some 180 years ago and to join with our Canadian friends in celebrating the 150th anniversary of your great country. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Ingrid Bron and her hard working committee, in our twin town of Smiths Falls, for all of their tireless work in planning our visit.

Nineteenth century haemorrhage of people from Coollattin Estate
Throughout the first six decades of the nineteenth century there was a constant exodus from the Coollattin estate to Canada and, in particular, to the province of Ontario. Emigration commenced in the years which followed the 1798 rebellion. During these dark years neighbour had fallen out with neighbour, and in cases, brother set against brother. Agents from shipping companies such as that owned by the Ellys of New Ross,went from village to village in south Wicklow recruiting all who wished to travel and who could afford the fare.
From the mid 1830's onward Earl Fitzwilliam, who owned the Coollattin Estate assisted many thousands of his tenants in finding a new life across the Atlantic. Initially emigration was through the port of Dublin and the travel was organised by the shipping firm of Miley. From 1847 to 1855 the travel for the assisted emigrants was provided by the the firm of Graves of New Ross. During these years almost 6,ooo men, women and children left Coollattin for the New World.

Today we'll look at EQT Corporation (EQT), an integrated natural gas and oil company with a majority of its production coming out of Ohio's Appalachian Basin.
The company operates in three segments: "Upstream," which handles the company's exploration and production; "Midstream," where the oil or gas is transported, stored, processed and marketed; and "downstream," where oil or gas is refined and purified.
Chart Analysis
After several quarters of negative earnings growth in 2012, EQT's numbers have bounced back, including a jump from 24% to 214% in the latest report.
Sales growth has also displayed strength, accelerating from 21% to 59% last quarter.
The company is scheduled to report Q2 numbers on July 24.
For the full year, analysts expect earnings to rise 102%, followed by a 15% gain in 2015.
The Accumulation/Distribution rating of B+ shows moderate buying by institutional investors over the last 13 weeks. And the solid Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9, indicates demand for the stock.
The number of funds that own EQT rose last quarter. And two typically better-performing funds have reported a position in the stock: Invesco Mid Cap Growth A (VGRAX) Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX)
Weekly Chart
As you can see on this weekly chart, the stock formed a five-week flat base back last year, and broke out in September. It climbed than 10% before hitting resistance and pulling back to form another flat base.
EQT fell below its 10-week line, but found support at its 40-week moving average. Note how how that low undercut the low in the prior flat base. That resets the base count, making this a first-stage pattern.
Also, that trip to the 40 week line was actually a bullish reversal that showed support. After trading lower during the week, the stock bounced back to close above the 10-week line and at the top of its price range. A volume was above average on that move.
EQT broke out in February, and edged higher until hitting resistance in May. The gain from the prior buy point was less than 20%, so the current flat base is considered part of a first-stage base-on-base pattern.
The current formation is a flat base with an ideal buy point of 111.57, 10 cents above the peak on the left.
Watch to see if EQT it can climb above that price on volume at least 40% to 50% higher than normal.
Stock Checkup
Stock Checkup shows EQT earns a 95 Composite Rating, ranking it No. 1 among the 26 stocks in the Oil & Gas-Integrated industry group.
The group itself is ranked No. 41 among IBD's 197 groups.

Ella smiled. "That's okay, then. I don't know if I would be into the whole being able to go furry thing, anyway."
"But you can accept me as a werewolf?" Dylan asked.
"Of course." Ella brushed a kiss across his lips. "You're my mate and I love you for the way you are."
"Good, because you're stuck with me now."
Ella kissed Dylan passionately, more than happy to have had her best friend turn into the mate she'd always longed for.

Salix fragilis Bareroot Saplings
Crack Willow Plants
Crack Willow, Salix fragilis, is a large, wide spreading deciduous waterside tree with dark green leaves and catkins in spring. The tree has beautifully fissured bark when it is mature and an upright canopy. Fallen branches are so good at rooting in wet soil that in some parts of the country, a single crack willow has cloned itself for long stretches of river bank. All willows are good for bees and butterflies. Salix fragilis gets its name because its branches break (relatively) easily in the wind.
Browse all of our other varieties of Willow saplings for sale.
Crack Willow plants are only delivered bareroot, during winter (Nov-March). All of our young trees and shrubs are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).
History & uses of Salix fragilis
This tree is closely related to Salix alba.

Codex Alimentarius Commission Reduces Maximum Levels for Some Heavy Metals in Food
During Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) annual meeting, attended by 170 countries, the European Union and 30 international governmental and non-governmental organizations had set a maximum standard for arsenic in rice.
The CAC previously established a maximum lead standard in infant formula as listed in the Codex General Standard for Contaminants and Toxins in Food and Feed Codex Stan 193-1995 of 0.02 mg/kg. During the 2014 annual meeting this maximum standard was adapted to 0.01 mg/kg. This is being done because there is scientific evidence that infants and children are more vulnerable to the toxic effects of lead, particularly affecting the development of the brain and nervous system which can diminish their ability to learn. Lead is found in the environment naturally and as a contaminant from industrial processes. Lead levels in products can be controlled by utilizing raw materials from areas where less lead is present.
Codex Alimentarius – Maximum Level Standard for Arsenic in Rice
In addition to reducing the maximum level standard of lead in infant formula, the CAC for the first time set a maximum level standard for arsenic in rice at 0.2 mg/kg. Arsenic is naturally and anthropogenically present in the groundwater and soils of the world. However, in some parts of the world arsenic can be found at very high levels. Long-term exposure to arsenic can cause cancer and has also been associated with heart disease, diabetes and developmental effects by damaging the nervous system and brain. The arsenic is taken up by the plants through irrigation or flooding of rice seedlings with ground water or through soil that is high in arsenic.
Testing for trace levels of lead, arsenic and other heavy metals in food is typically performed using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS).

Following my usual route, I run through the Guild's grounds with my scythe on my back. In the early morning mist, my mind thinks about the events since Master Juxon told me to go on a group job. Going on a job with others was rare for me but I actually enjoyed being with Lara and Lancer. Strangely enough, I enjoyed finding Aya and Blue and seeing how happy they were when they came to the guild. The Master was so excited to see that we all came back in one piece and was more than ecstatic with our new members; our family ever-growing. The founding mother Aurora would be proud, Master Juxon really is a father to Supernova. Picking up my speed, I leap over the forest obstacles with grace, my bare feet softly touching the ground before taking their leave again. I will make Master Juxon proud!
Walking around through the guild, I breath in the quiet while it lasts. Say what you will about The Supernova Guild but morning people we are not… unless staying up all week constantly drinking counts…
My hands sweat slightly as I make my way to training. Tightening my grip on my scythe, my eyebrows knit together slightly as I ponder why they are reacting this way; it's just Zero Slater. I have known him for as long as I can remember –granted that isn't very long due to my amnesia- but I still shouldn't be nervous. Years ago we were different together; not spitting insults at each other and one challenging the other to a fight. Whenever Caleb left for a job where he couldn't take me along with him, Zero watched out for me. Even back then, as a weedy child, he tried to seem tough.
Racing around the guild, we heard that there were rare winged turtles by the hot springs. After telling Master Juxon about going on our little adventure to see them, his eyes glinted as he leaned down to our level, his expression uncharacteristically serious. "If you are going to go near the winged turtles, you have to careful otherwise suddenly they will rip your arm straight off!" Master Juxon flashes us his stump of an arm. Shocked gasps escaped our lips, Zero attempts to stand taller, his face set. "It's okay, I'll protect Carissa. Those winged turtles won't know what hit 'em!" Zero clicks his knuckles. His dark blue hair spikes up in all different directions, soft sprinkles of frost covers the tips of his hair.
"I'm sure that you can and Carissa would be able to look after herself too. Right Care?" Master Juxon ruffles my hair and winks at me, making me nod enthusiastically. "But to really make sure that they won't attack you, you have to point at them, look them in the eye and say no."
Zero and I excitedly walked to the hot springs where I dangled my feet in its warm waters. Standing near me was Zero, watching over in case I fell in. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him looking at me curiously. Taking off his shoes and socks, Zero placed his feet in the waters too, smiling at me cheerfully. After splashing each other for a while, we noticed that a large group of winged turtles had appeared around us.
Standing in front of me, Zero put his arm out as if to protect me from getting my arm ripped off like Master Juxon. Zero looked them in the eye, his unbroken voice clear. "No!"
Soon, the animals started to hiss and nip at us. Running back to the guild, Master Juxon was waiting outside for us, laughing at our expressions. "I can't believe that you actually did it! I didn't really get my arm ripped off by the winged turtles! You should see your faces! Those animals are basically harmless!" Looking at Zeros annoyed and sulking face, whilst listening to Master's continuous laughter, the corners of my lips started to lift and a soft laugh escaped from me. Soon, everyone in the guild was laughing. And Zero began to chase me as punishment for joining in with the others.
Shaking myself, I ignore the memories of my past and focus on training. Things are different now, for years Zero and I have been constantly competing with each other. He isn't as carefree as he once was. Underneath his teases and has a bad-boy attitude, sometimes I look at him from afar and see him deep in thought as snow falls onto him.
Zero is stretching his large muscles, an indifferent look on his face, as I feel myself stare for a few seconds.
My hand goes to my hair, worries how it would look, heat rising to my pale cheeks… What's wrong with me? I am Carissa Black and like hell I will let some unfamiliar feelings make me act differently! Using my magic, I move my scythe onto the rack against the wall.
Feeling his eyes on me, I tie it back into a tight ponytail. I scowl as I walk over to him, my hands on my hips. "You're late." He frowns, raising an eyebrow as he continues to stretch.
"And you're a dick. Glad we got that settled. Let's train." I glare at him, my voice deadpan. Despite the knot tightening in my stomach from looking at his expanding muscles, my voice is clear and doesn't give away any of my odd feelings. Maybe I just need to train and these feelings will go away?
After weights we focused on our accuracy by having holograms appear and vanish randomly whilst we aim our magic at them and then we completed the guilds obstacle course. Where I beat Zero. Twice.
We walk over to the sparring arena and stand on opposite sides, ready in our fighting stances. "Don't worry Red, I won't hurt you. Much." A mischievous smile spreads across his face making me grit my teeth at his use of my childhood nickname he made for me after noticing my red eye. It annoyed me then and it annoys me now. "Shut up Snowflake." I shoot back at him making his smile vanish and his dark violet eyes narrow.
Both of us lunge for each other at the same time, pushing each other this way and that to gain the upper hand, feeling our fists come in contact with each other's bodies and magic barriers. Together, we exchanged punches and kicks at each other, our magic expanding around us. Zero's weather magic tightly wraps itself around me, freezing my bones one minute and then shocking me like lightning the next. I do the same to him with mine, squeezing his body tight. I suppress the darkness of my magic when sparks of red become visible, trying not to let my magic get too intense and absorb his. With a few jabs and quick take-out moves I send my magic directly at him, forcing him onto his back.
Before he can get back up, I am on top of him, using my muscles and magic to hold him there. The lose strays of my hair fall down my shoulders.
"Now Red, if you wanted to have me underneath you, all you had to do was ask. But you know that I like to be on top when it's my first time with a new girl. " I growl down at him, my body jumps at his words and my head tries to ignore it. He is such an arse! I can feel my magic wanting to merge with his and it takes nearly everything I have to deny it whilst it tries to resist my restraints.
Seeing his chance, Zero pushes me off him and with a flip he is on his feet again easily. I scowl at him as I leap onto my feet. "Don't look so sad Red, if you ask nicely you might have me under you again but with less clothing."
"Jerk." I hiss, throwing a punch at his head which he easily dodges.
"Hot-head." He hisses back, his smile pulling at his lips. I leap into the air, delivering a powerful high kick to his head and resulting in lightning to surround me.
After two hours of sparring, we call it even and warm down. By now we can hear the voices of others arriving at the guild. My skin is slightly bruised and my muscles ache from a good work out whereas he only has a few scrapes compared to me. As an Elite, his reflexes are faster than mine and his magical stamina is slightly more then what I possess but I can feel his magical energy has lowered the same amount as mine. Feeling his magic, I narrow my eyes, my lips thinning. He went easy on me. I know I went easy on him too but that's not the point!
Our breathing is ragged as we stare at each other, my throat is sore from the amount of insults we were slinging at each other and my skin is still tingling with anticipation from his touch. Sweat glitters across our bodies. Filled with adrenaline, our magic is heightened. I take a step closer to him, feeling drunk on his power, getting stronger the closer we are. My magic sparking, wanting just a little taste of his in my system.
He tilts his head down towards mine. My breath hitches as my magic screams at me to reach out and touch Zero. My hand twitches but I know that I mustn't; with my emotions acting strangely around him, I have a feeling that I won't be able to stop my cells from latching on and draining his power. I don't particularly want to destroy the guild today.
His eyes are wide and dark, moving closer to me. His smiles down at me as he moves closer. I step back and he follows.
As my back presses against the wall, Zero smiles wickedly putting his hands either side of my head and bringing himself closer. I push him away with all my might, his body hits into another wall making him narrow his eyes at me. With a run, he tries to tackle me but my bare feet push off him and I use my magic to hold me in the air.
Zero turns towards me, causing the air around him to lift him, the cold air trying to push me down. My body start to engulf his magic, I can feel my cells start to mix with his, my magic is ready to explode. No, I can't let it. I won't be able to control it!
Seeing his chance, Zero crashes into me. The air rushes around us as we get closer to the floor, his smile is mischievous. I feel my back collide with the floor, feeling it concave around my body. I ignore the pain as Zero has me pinned to the floor by his body. I freeze. Part of me wants to run but the other part refuses to leave. I don't know what to do. Do I need help? Do I even want help?
I lick my lips, our eyes locked as a deep, possessive, growl escapes Zero…
"If you two are quite finished doing… whatever you were doing, Care, Master Juxon wants to speak to you." Caleb's voice breaks mine and Zero's trance. Sending a wave of my magic to an unsuspecting Zero who was scowling at Caleb, his body is pushed away from mine. I move towards the exit, trying to calm myself down and act normal, reclaiming my usual stony composure. I hope the damage we caused doesn't inconvenience anyone too much.
"Hey Red, train some more and then maybe next time it can be a slight challenge." I narrow my eyes and ball my fists, refusing to look back at Zero as I continue to walk away. I push my hands together, the crash mats fly into Zero with loud slaps, causing him to fall under their sudden attack. At least I didn't let my magic get strong enough to permanently mimic Zeros abilities.
"So what were you two up to?" Caleb laughs wiggling his eyebrows suggestively as we walk towards Master Juxon's office. Taking my scythe off Caleb, my strides quicken.
"Nothing. He's a jerk." Small amounts of red tinted mist escapes with my words. I sigh, clearing my mind, gently releasing the rest of Zeros' magic in the form of light blue mist.
