Have you ever noticed something for the first time even though you've passed by it possibly a hundred times?
Well, that's not quite the case here, but it's something I've been reminding myself to do yet never remember:
After all these years, I finally got some photos of the Bobby Hopper Tunnel along I-540. HOW many times have I passed it, but never stopped? Too many. So recently, I finally stopped.
A Brief HistoryCourtesy of ATHD: "Lying over 220 feet below the top of the Boston Mountain, construction was begun at both ends of the tunnel in August 1996 and the two ends connected in March of 1997. The tunnel was built as part of the US 71 Relocation Project" (later to be designated I-540). It was decided by AHTD to build a tunnel though the mountain as opposed to shearing off the mountain in an effort to maintain the natural beauty of the surrounding area. a Construction was completed in December of 1999. The finished size of the tunnels is 25 feet tall (as measured from the roadway to the top of the tunnel arch), 1600 feet long and 38 feet wide.
The tunnel was named for then Arkansas Highway Commissioner Bobby Hopper, a longtime resident of Springdale.
I remember as I was growing up hearing radio ads for Bobby Hopper Ford. The tagline was always "Don't Say "Ford", Say "Bobby Hopper Ford". Funny how something like that sticks in your mind.

Disarmingly delightful, Smith of Wootton Major by J.R.R. Tolkien packs about as much literary punch as his more widely known Hobbit-based works. Smith is as dense with symbolism and interwoven with Tolkien's deep seated convictions about faerie, craft, the metaphysical, as it is with his uneasiness about where one fits into a world limited by belief and, uncomfortably, luck. Perhaps fate fits better than luck though, and one wonders how much applicability can be found in such a personal (even, in some ways, exclusivistic) work.
I personally find Smith beautiful for a number of reasons, some of which we brought up in our discussion of the work this week:
1. The family dynamic resonates most powerfully with me. How is the reader to understand the relationship Smith has with his family? When Smith returns from his final wanderings in the land of Faerie, he expresses regret, explicitly and implicitly, at being absent from his wife and children for so long. It is striking to observe that his son, a young man at this point (old enough to oversee the work of his father's smithy), holds no animosity at his father; indeed the family appears charitably to understand Smith's long absences. What are we to make of this?
2. Tolkien's short story, "Leaf by Niggle," employs the figure of the artist to explore the tension between creative genius and intersocial responsibility (as I read it)–a fitting choice. Smith, on the other hand, elevates the profession of cooking to a priviledged position: It is through the cook's baking that the gift of creativity is passed to Smith (and others). Certainly, in light of Tolkien's devout Catholicism, there are eucharistic undertones in this, but how many facets of it does the narrative display?
3. (And I wasn't aware of this until we compared editions of Smith with each other during the discussion) There may some interpretive difficulties which invite codicological (?) scrutiny: Does Smith encounter "eleven" (Del Rey edition) or "elven" (from Tales from Perilous Realms) mariners, before whom he collapses and who pass over his fallen body?
In the Fall of 2010 I taught Smith in my Introduction to Short Fiction course, and my students had very strong reactions (positively and negatively) to the story; so I include here the discussion points I used for the three days we spent studying and discussing it (page numbers are from the Del Rey edition, which includes Farmer Giles of Ham).
- How do you think we're to relate to the town of Wootton Major (cf. 9)?
- Why kitchen?
- What about mention of invitation mistakes (10)?
- What of the change of the Master Cook after his holiday, or his up and leaving in general (11-12)?
- What about Nokes' lack of knowledge concerning children's tastes (14)?
- What is the significance of memory (15, 26)?
- How should we understand Nokes' interactions with Alf Prentice?
- How do you read the star coming to the boy, Smithson, and its ultimate unveiling and coming to rest on his forehead (21-22)?
- What about the extra quality of beauty added to the usefulness of Smith's creations, or hi desire to create simply for delight (23)?
- Why is Faery called a "perilous country" (24)?
- How does the tone change, and what of the different episodes in Faery (26-33)?
- Does the narrative seem deeply personal?
- What of the proper names in the story?
- Why a queen without throne or crown (36)?
- Why is Smith ashamed at the memory of Nokes' fairy figure on the cake (37-8)?
- What of the emphasis on sorrow (cf. 38)?
- Why do you think there is only one star (cf. 41)?
- What of the idea that Rider had arranged for Alf to give Smith the star, but that Nokes thwarted their carrying it out (44)?
- What do you think of the theme of not-knowing (44-45)?
- Edith Tolkien is the dancing woman!
- What about the oldness of the "new" or the newness of old tradition (45)?
- What do you make of Smith's inability to see and Alf's willingness to help (46)?
- How are family ties viewed (46)?
- How about Alf's willingness to relent (47)?
- Interesting at how freely precious things are held (cf. 49).
- Why is the shadow the truth (50)?
- How should one understand Nokes' memory (50-53)?
- With respect to Nokes, Tolkien doesn't seem to be saying people like that are obstinate, but that those who are obstinate become as Nokes was.
- What about the disposition of Alf to Nokes and Nokes to Alf (54-57)?
- Why do you think Tolkien gives Nokes the last word (58-59)?
- Concerning the matter of "determinism" it is interesting that Tolkien doesn't present it in a deterministic way; in fact he shows how free will acts of its own accord, and that what is determined isn't affected by it (cf. Then Ilúvatar spoke, and he said: 'Mighty are the Ainur, and mightiest among them is Melkor; but that he may know, and all the Ainur, that I am Ilúvatar, those things that ye have sung, I will show them forth, that ye may see what ye have done. And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.' [5]).
- What about the similarity between the endings of this and LotR? Tolkien doesn't think that the most wonderful things happen in this world, but he thinks that comfort and consolation are very important.
Please feel at liberty to offer possible answers to these points, or to pose points of your own.

Lip Fillers Liverpool
Lip augmentation is a type of cosmetic surgery or non-surgical procedure that aims to alter the appearance of the lips by increasing their fullness through enlargement using fillers.
Non-Surgical Lip Enhancement FAQ's
What is lip filler?
The filler is usually a gel that is injected into the skin in order to add volume to the lips. It can also be used to lift the corners of the mouth to give a more structured look. The gel used is hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance found in the body.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found throughout the body. It gives volume to the skin.
How does the filler work?
The gel adds volume to the skin. A practitioner injects small amounts of hyaluronic acid directly to create a fuller look. The aim is to contour the lip to the desired level.
What results can be obtained from lip treatments?
The lip line (vermillion border) can be accentuated and the lip can be given more volume. Change of shape can be achieved. However, this must be discussed at consultation prior to the treatment with your practitioner. Rest assured we will not overfill your lips.
What is treatment with lip filler like?
Treatment to enhance the lip is very easy a quick process. Since no pre-test is needed, the treatment can be carried out straight away and takes around 30 minutes from consultation to treatment end. The result is instant.
Do the injections hurt?
Lips are numbed using a topical numbing agent. Local application of lidocaine based cream gives the patient comfort from initial injection. Most hyaluronic acid gels have lidocaine in them, also providing comfort on injection.
Can the lip filler be removed?
The gel is a natural material. It dissolves with time. If you feel insecure about the desired result, it is possible to have the treatment done in gradual stages on different occasions.
Is it safe?
The hyaluronic acid in the filler is almost identical to that already present in the body. It is possible to dissolve the product if there are any serious problems. Immediately after, the treatment site can be slightly swollen and red. This is a normal result of the injection and generally, reduces within a day or two.
Are there any other types of reactions that may occur?
Yes, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a high risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another cold sore eruption. If you are using aspirin or any other similar medication, you should be aware that these may increase the bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
How long does the effect of the filler last?
Since the filler is a substance very similar to your own skin, the same ongoing processes (such as ageing) that change the structure of your skin will also alter the filler. Eventually, the filler totally disappears from the body. How long the effect of the treatment lasts differently with every individual. It depends on many factors, such as the structure of the skin, lifestyle, age and the degree of expectation by the individual. Most people choose to have a new treatment within a year after the initial treatment (wrinkles and folds) and within half a year after lip treatments.
Add definition and volume to your lips with lip enhancement treatments from AK Aesthetics in Liverpool. Schedule a consultation for a personalised treatment plan.

Patient Resources
| Blog
The surgical reduction or alteration of the labia minora and labia majora, or labiaplasty, in Chicago, Illinois, helps improve the comfort and personal confidence of countless women. Dr. Thomas Mustoe recognizes the personal nature of labiaplasty and understands that a number of different factors affect a woman's decision to undergo it. His experience and leadership within the field of plastic surgery inspire confidence in his labiaplasty patients, and he carefully applies his skills to each surgery to ensure results that exceed his patients' standards.
If you would like to learn more about labiaplasty, request a consultation online with Dr. Mustoe, a board-certified plastic surgeon. Or you can call our office at (312) 788-2560 and one of our helpful staff members will schedule your appointment.
Dr. Mustoe stands out among his peers for both his personal and professional qualities and years of experience with labiaplasty. The qualities that set him apart include:
Labiaplasty is a relatively simple cosmetic procedure that can reduce the size or improve the symmetry of the inner labia, called the labia minora. The labia minora may be enlarged, asymmetrical, or stretched due to genetic factors or events such as childbirth. For the right candidate, the surgery can be both physically and psychologically beneficial. As with all cosmetic procedures, the decision to undergo labiaplasty rests squarely with the patient. Women who choose the surgery often cite at least one of the following reasons:
Good candidates for labiaplasty are adult women who are in good overall health and who have realistic, specific expectations for their surgical outcomes.
In some patients, the labia majora are also enlarged, and they can be surgically reduced at the same time as surgery for the labia minora.
Dr. Mustoe understands that the majority of his Chicago-area labiaplasty patients aren't in pursuit of a uniform ideal. Instead, they want results that enhance their comfort without sacrificing their individuality. Dr. Mustoe spends lots of time discussing your desired outcome with you. Eventually, he develops a surgical approach that meets your needs.
Labiaplasty is typically performed while you are under local anesthesia with sedation, either oral or intravenous, which improves your comfort and safety during and after the surgery. Some patients prefer general anesthesia, which is also an option. During surgery, Dr. Mustoe reshapes and often reduces the labia minora using techniques that preserve sensation. He has experience with several techniques that he tailors to the patient's individual anatomy.
Although many women undergo labiaplasty as an isolated procedure, others choose to combine it with a tummy tuck or breast augmentation to restore the parts of the body that are most affected by pregnancy and childbirth.
Thanks to its relatively low invasiveness, recuperation following labiaplasty is typically brief and comfortable. The surgery is an outpatient procedure, which means you'll be able to return home the same day. Some discomfort and soreness for the first several days is normal. During the first 24 hours, minimal activity and icing the area help ensure an uneventful recovery. Most patients are able to return to work and other light activity after about 3 days. Exercise and sexual activity should be avoided for longer, typically up to 6 weeks. The procedure can be done under IV sedation or general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, and many patients choose to do the procedure under oral sedation as an office procedure. Dr. Mustoe has evolved repair techniques that minimize postoperative discomfort and allow early return to work and other routine activities.
The results of labiaplasty can last indefinitely, because the skin that is removed does not grow back. Most women who undergo labiaplasty are satisfied with their choice even after years have elapsed.

How To Clean Your Patio Furniture
Your outdoor furniture is just as important to your home as your living room furniture. You've picked the color, material, and design to perfectly compliment your personal style as well as the aesthetics of your backyard and/or deck. Having made such an investment, why not ensure that your outdoor furniture will stay looking new for as long as possible? Stay ahead of the game by ensuring that you are giving the best care possible to your outdoor furniture and fabrics. Protecting ahead of time will be much easier in the long-run for both you and your wallet. Using 303® Products will provide you with everything you need for the ultimate protection. Here are our guidance tips to get you started on helping your materials last:
Step 1: Clean Your Fabric
First, clean your fabric using the manufacturer's recommended cleaning routine (usually listed on the tag attached to the fabric on your furniture). Sometimes, you will be able to use your washing machine to clean removable fabrics. Other styles you may need to scrub by hand with soap before rinsing.
To keep everything extra clean, there are also a growing number of patio covers available. You can use these to protect your furniture and fabrics from exposure to sun and rain. However, keep in mind that these too may need some care. 303 can help you there, as well.
Step 2: Remove Tough Stains
After you have cleaned your fabric, you may still have stubborn stains that are difficult to remove. Some of the most difficult stains are caused by residue that drops from trees, mildew, and rust. Each type of stain should be treated differently. Tree sap usually does not require a special solvent and can usually be removed with cleaner or other clear oils. Mildew can be more difficult to remove – the most common process is simple elbow grease. Rust is another fabric and metal-damaging culprit. It can create permanent marks on soft fabrics and deteriorate metal. If you cannot take the rust off of your furniture using traditional cleaning methods check online to see what your fabric can sustain before using vinegar to scrub the stain away. Here, we would highly recommend using 303 Multi-Surface Cleaner because it will safely remove all of these stains without harming your fabric and rinses residue-free.
Another great thing about 303® Multi-Surface Cleaner is that it sets you up for taking your fabric protection to the next level: its cleaning ability will allow 303 Fabric Guard to fully bond to the fabric surfaces. 303® Fabric Guard will help you combat dirt, mold, and mildew by restoring your fabrics' lost stain and water repellency while still keeping those fabrics breathable.
Step 3: Protect Your Furniture
Finally, it's time to protect your outdoor furniture against future stains. If you have any all-weather wicker, powder coated frames, sling back chairs, recycled plastics, resin, or wrought iron surfaces on your patio furniture – you can use 303® Aerospace Protectant to protect them. Using 303 Aerospace Protectant will help prevent any fading, cracking, embrittlement, and chalking.
Don't settle for dirty, dingy patio furniture – protect it and keep it looking like new for years to come with 303 products!

I read the above but just to make sure.
I have 16 sling chairs.Some one piece rock, some bar stool and some swivel table chairs. All have what I believe is vynal material. I keep them all clean but with time they have faded. Both the sling and powder coated frames. Can you give the names of necessary products to help restore?
Hi Norman, 303 Aerospace Protectant can restore the color and luster to your vinyl material. Please contact us at email@example.com if you have any questions about this. Thank you.
I was very excited after I used the 303 Protectant on four metal patio chairs. They looked beautiful (like new) for two days. Then it rained. Now they look awful again. What happened. I guess it is only helping with UV protection. What can I use for protection from water? Please know that I did make sure that I thoroughly dried the furniture with the micro-filter cloth.

Lack of issue when you are in RAID read operations means it is not EMC as I can't imagine so specific difference in EMC radiation between read & write operations that it will cause so binary effect (write:no any artifacts, read: many artifacts). Currently as root cause I would consider 2 areas: A\RAID read & write interrupts service / RAID DMA support implementation. I can imagine specific implementation where Your RAID module has event driven interrupts for write operations and pooling based for read operations (by bug or by bad design). I can imagine effect of blocked/missed transfer requests from DVB card by ongoing read operation on RAID. Another theory is that read operation is wrongly programming DMA subsystem for read transactions, so parallel DVB DMA transactions can't be properly or timely realized. For testing this hypothesis - may You temporarily rearrange Your storage subsystem that DVB recordings are written & read to/from the same storage, but without components responsible for RAID ? I would suggest to do test where You keep ALL HW the same, and only rearrange software that RAID is not used. If it will be OK - then issue is in Your RAID implementation. Then You can look more closely in i.e. interrupts. Are they shared. Do Your system uses MSI ? If it will be still bad - from many possible, as first I would consider 2 next areas: B\Start to make sure issue isn't relate to i.e buggy HDD firmware (e.g. bad bus-mastering transactions for read operations) or issue with SATA path (cable, controller, etc). Here You can i.e. temporarily replace HDD a see how it goes. If NOK, look more closely on SATA. C\Power related issues. I can imagine read operation on HDD which by interference can trigger Your power supply into resonance (it might be when Your power supply pulse converter has feedback loop prone to rising resonance if load has v.specific ripple nature). Sounds like absurd, but many today's electronic has quickly drying capacitors and this can cause v.strange issues. I saw such issues in real live, believe me. Good luck

Last night I had this brilliant idea that JG and I should get up early (4 ish) and go for an early morning hike – maybe even catch the sunrise. He reluctantly agreed. I woke up at 3:50 a.m. and decided to lay there just a little longer – which turned out to be 4:45. Okay, we might not see the sunrise on top of a mountain, but it's still early enough to beat the crowds.
We decided on Peaks of Otter – Sharp Top. This is a hike I had not tried, however, I have hiked it's twin – Flat Top twice. As we headed down the Interstate, we saw the fog interfere with the sunrise.
We arrived as the first wave of early morning hikers were about to leave the parking lot. I had not attempted this hike before because even though it is only 3 miles round trip, it is very steep, rocky, and every book has it listed as "strenuous." But today I was feeling frisky and while it was a major "huff and puff" going up, we made it.
It was quite humid, so we are pretty much soaked by the time we reach the top. Even though it was a bit hazy, it was a very rewarding vista.
It was a wonderful way to celebrate our nation's birth. I haven't been such a proud American lately, at least not politically. But the mountains remind me that there is so much more to this great country of ours than a few bad seeds in Washington.
Now I am completely exhausted and achy, so I plan to spend the rest of the day with my feet propped up. Hope you all are having a good day!

The M.A.D.Gallery in the Geneva is showcasing nine visionary images of 'flying' cars from the series Air Drive by French photographer Renaud Marion. Taking cues from his childhood imaginings and inspired by science fiction films and artists, Marion depicts his vision of futuristic transportation of wheel-less cars serenely suspended above the ground. But he has included a neat twist: While the vehicles' levitation most definitely smacks of sci-fi, the cars are in fact modified vintage classics, including Chevrolets, Mercedes, Jaguars, Aston Martins and Porsches.
The images that emerge are a throwback blend of retro style with futuristic imaginings. Iconic cars from the glory days of automobile production are transformed into airborne transport, catapulting their vintage design into a visionary age. The pictures are really quite surreal.
Growing up in the 1980s, Marion thought that by the year 2000 everyone would be piloting flying cars, like the landspeeder from Star Wars or the futuristic soaring machines from French artist, Moebius. Marion's dream of one day propelling a floating vehicle has not yet become reality but in this series, the 39-year-old has brought to life the 'hover' vehicles of his childhood fantasies.
"As a child, I imagined the new millennium with flying cars, spaceships, parallel worlds, extra-terrestrials living with us on earth and time travel," says the photographer. "We would have all been dressed up in space outfits and equipped with laser pistols. These are the dreams of a normal child, I think… I hope."
Motivated by the idea that "our dreams of today are the reality of tomorrow," and his quest to create the flying cars of his boyhood imagination, Marion developed the unique concept for his Air Drive series. At the end of 2012 in Geneva, the Frenchman shot the first automobile images that he would later manipulate into levitating machines.
Capturing the idea in his head of what constitutes a "flying car" and making it palpable required a two-step "manufacturing" process. The first step involved finding the subjects of the shoot and identifying the locations; the second involved the equipment.
"For the first part of the series photographed in Geneva, I chose the cars simply by walking down the street. I looked for cars parked on the side of the road as I wanted to use real size models instead of miniatures," he says.
Marion chose to shoot classic automobiles because they most closely resembled his childhood idea of what a flying car should look like. The first vehicles he photographed included a Chevrolet El Camino, Mercedes 300 SL Roadster and Jaguar XK120.
Finding the appropriate environment in which to shoot the autos meant seeking out spaces devoid of people and recognizable buildings. The venerable cars take centre stage against backgrounds of mid-20th century architecture in varying textures and muted or neutral colours.
"I looked for architecture dating from the 1970s; for me that's retro-futuristic. The buildings had to be imposing, massive and graphic."
To achieve the look of "flying" cars, Marion had to apply a digital assembly technique to remove the tyres and wheel wells from the classic beauties and merge the cars onto different backgrounds, eventually settling on the right scene for each futuristic portrayal.
These photographic anachronisms garnered a lot of attention when the imaginative artist initially posted them online. Classic car lovers, science fiction fans and photo and art admirers were suddenly followers of Renaud Marion.
This newfound recognition allowed Marion access to car collectors, some of whom lent their prized possessions to the photographer for his Air Drive follow-up shoot in Paris. These included a Mercedes 300SL Paul O'Shea, Lincoln Continental, Jaguar Type E, Mercedes 190SL, Aston Martin DB5 and a Porsche 356.
Marion not only borrowed cars but cameras as well: Leica Camera loaned him their latest Leica S to capture stills of the vintage automobiles.
"What if it were true that in their time, Jules Verne or Leonardo da Vinci had unconsciously created universes to condition humans for an unpredictable future, one they could never imagine?" asks Marion. "It might be the same as today. Science fiction is everywhere. Is it here to prepare us to fly in spaceships, to meet people with powers or simply to drive flying cars?"
Nine images are available in a limited edition of eight 128cm x 90cm prints with white margin (image 114cm x 76cm); three of those nine images are also available in a limited edition of three 210cm x 140cm prints. For more info go to www.mbandf.com.

Soak Up the Sunby MJ Ryan on June 1, 2014 at 7:14 pm
Ever notice on bright and sunny days how everyone seems happy? Just like flowers need light, people need happy thoughts and moments to grow. As a personal change expert, I know how easy it is to live like a flower and embrace the sunny side of life. Here are a few simple tips that will really lift your mood:
Uplift with orange. Color therapists say colors really do affect our moods. The happiest color? Orange. It promotes optimism, enthusiasm, and a sense of uplift. Choose orange flowers—roses, gerberas, lilies, ranunculus, alstroemeria, tulips—to put on your desk and see your mood soar.
Tune into happy tunes. Music is a very powerful happiness creator. Choose songs that make you feel good, whether that's through inspiring lyrics or the rhythm. Want to boost your mood even more? Singing has been shown to be a great way to lift your spirits, lower blood pressure, and decrease depression. Get your family or roommates involved in the fun. If you're self-conscious, sing in the car when you're alone.
Follow the happiness path. Research has shown that there are two routes to happiness. One is doing something that you feel is personally meaningful, such as volunteering in your community or seeing a friend through a tough time. The other is indulging in simple pleasures, such as relishing in the feel of your dog's fur, taking a luxurious hot bath, or treating yourself to flowers or a blooming plant. But who says you have to choose one over the other? The more you fold both into your life, the more joyful you'll be.
Do one little thing that's been nagging you. Procrastination is a happiness killer. Usually it takes less energy to do whatever it is than to worry about not doing it. The pile of files, the email you need to return, the appointment you need to make … just do one thing and you'll feel absolutely great!
Spread happiness to others. Acts of kindness benefit both the receiver and the giver. So spread the love around and you'll feel good too. Research from Rutgers University shows that a gift of flowers creates instant delight and increases enjoyment and life satisfaction. Study participants expressed "true" smiles upon receiving flowers. Send flowers to a friend, just because, and watch the happiness prevail.
The more you generate inner sunshine and spread happiness, the more joyful you will feel as well. Are you ready to take charge of your own daily dose of happiness? Try my tips and share your pictures and results with us at @flowerfactor #LLAF.

Portions of all five Great Lakes, the largest combined body of fresh water in the world covering an area of 95,000 square miles, can be seen in this high-oblique, northeast-looking photograph. Lake Michigan alone covers an area of 22,300 square miles . This lake can be seen in the center of the photograph, with Chicago on its southwestern shore. The Great Lakes were formed about 12,000 years ago at the end of the ice age, when glacier-carved lake basins were filled with meltwater. The lakes are interconnected by straits, short rivers, and canals. Water from the Great Lakes exits at the eastern end of Lake Ontario into the Saint Lawrence River, which flows on eastward into the Atlantic Ocean.

The Best Shrubs for Clay Soil
The best shrubs for clay soil are those that are tolerant of its texture and its ability to hold water and then dry out. Clay soil is one of the more difficult soils to have in a garden bed. Many times plants will need a more organically rich soil than clay delivers. Clay soil plants and shrubs are hardy and usually more adaptable plants than those needing specialized soil.
Winged Euonymus
Euonymus alatus, commonly known as winged euonymus or winged spindletree, is from the bittersweet family. It gets 15 to 20 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide. Leaves are deciduous, 3 inches long, and come in pairs. Flowers are yellowish-green, and bloom in late spring in small clusters. Plant a winged euonymus in full sun to nearly full shade in well-drained soil. Propagate via seed or spring/summer greenwood cuttings.
Coral Honeysuckle
Lonicera sempervirens, commonly known as coral honeysuckle or trumpet honeysuckle, is from the honeysuckle family. It is an easy-to-grow vine that attracts birds, hummingbirds and butterflies. Leaves are 1 to 3 inches long. Flowers are tubular and 2 inches long, either red or orange with yellow inside. Plant a coral honeysuckle in full sun or partial shade in any soil. Propagate via seed.
Viburnum dentatum, commonly known as arrow-wood or southern arrow-wood, is from the honeysuckle family. It is a deciduous shrub that attracts birds to the landscape. It gets 6 to 10 feet tall and approximately the same in width. Dark-green leaves are over and 2 to 3 inches long. Springtime white flowers appear in clusters 3 to 4 inches wide. Fruits are bluish black. Plant an arrow-wood in any soil in any sunlight. Propagate via seed or summer greenwood cuttings.
Eastern White Cedar
Thuja occidentalis, commonly known as the eastern white cedar or the American arborvitae, is from the cypress family. It is an evergreen conifer that gets 40 to 60 feet tall. Leaves are fragrant, dull yellow-green in color and look like scales. Cones are egg-shaped and green turning to red-brown. Plant an eastern white cedar in full sun to partial shade in any soil. Propagate via seed or semi-ripe cuttings.
American Elder
Sambucus canadensis, commonly known as the American elder or elderberry, is from the honeysuckle family. It is a fast-growing shrub that attracts birds. It will get 10 to 15 feet tall and approximately the same in width. Leaves are feather-like and up to 12 inches long. Foliage will have a bitter smell when crushed. Flowers are small and star-shaped in a 10-inch-wide spray. Fruits are edible blue-black drupes. Plant an American elder in full sun or partial shade in any soil. Propagate via seed, tip cuttings in winter or spring green-wood cuttings.

Project Overview:
This custom mobile WordPress theme project was complex and required a specialty/custom skinning approach with a solid understanding of a mobile responsive front-end framework. With the project requiring a different design look for each company within one website it became important to be able to manage multi template interactions when navigating to a particular company page. There were several challenges on this project that required custom rewiring. The mobile menu was quite long and difficult to manage due to the number of menu items within. We ended up completely reworking the menu to become an off-canvas menu with nested sub menu items. It worked more intuitively and the client loves it.
The other challenge on this custom WordPress theme was the required interactions between template cities and their associated blog posts. Some posts had to display on one city but not another. Not only that, but the client required full admin access to all regions of the website such that they could manage the content content look and feel without the help of a technical group such as ourselves.
The following tools used were used in the development of this custom theme are:
- JQuery, JavaScript & AJAX
- WordPress (Always the most up to date version)
- Bootstrap Framework (Always the most up to date version)
- Secure Web Payment system

Alaska is supposed to be friendly territory for Sarah Palin. Sure, she left the state before she finished her job as governor with declining poll numbers among both Democrats and Republicans. And yes, GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski won a write-in campaign in the face of a Palin-backed Tea Party candidate last November. But Alaska is home. Yet for Palin, it appears to be a more hostile environment than the friendly confines of the Fox News set where she spends much of her time.
Palin the individual is certainly under fire as she continues with life after her vice presidential run, but it's the policies from her time as Alaska governor that are being undone by her former lieutenant governor — who is now the governor.
Republican Sean Parnell is now top top dog in Alaska, and a recent New York Times piece pointed out that Parnell has been dismantling Palin's energy initiatives one by one. Parnell's first priority, according to the article, was to undo major tax increases that Palin put in place for oil companies. Parnell says the hike in state taxes for the industry is hurting the Alaskan economy. This completely contradicts the sound bites Palin spews on Fox News about the federal government's regulation of oil being a hindrance on the economy there.
Then there is Palin's signature gubernatorial campaign issue: a 1,700-mile pipeline across the state that would connect potential new supplies of oil to the lower 48 states. It doesn't look like it's going to happen, and the plan's demise comes at the hands of Republicans, according to the Times. "She made it an issue," said Mike Chenault, the Republican speaker of the Alaska state House, who has sponsored a bill that would end Palin's pipeline plan if firm evidence of progress is not documented by this summer. "That was the way that Alaska was going to move forward. As of yet, we haven't, in my opinion, moved one step forward."
So what does this mean? For Palin's potential White House run, her problems back home are hard to gauge. I just don't see Alaska voting for Barack Obama in 2012, but you never know. But even if Alaska sent its three electoral votes to someone other than Palin (assuming she is the Republican nominee), the three votes would be less of an issue than her platform.
Palin's political record is brief, but her policy bread and butter has always been energy. She comes from an energy state, and gas prices are likely to be high over the next two years. So, in theory, this should be right up her alley. If her policies on energy in Alaska are undermined by those in her own party, how can anyone take her seriously on a national level? It could be a problem.

News for the week ending 11th July 2011
(Those without Flash can listen here.)
What does the ground-breaking 'Leave to Remove' judgment in Re K do for the credibility of the President of the Family Division?
Sir Nicholas Wall made clear his view only two months ago in Re W: that the guidance in Payne v Payne must be followed.
The Court of Appeal has now conceded that, for situations in which there exists a 'shared care arrangement', 'Leave to Remove' should, all other matters being equal, not be granted. Why? Because it now finally accepts that children in those situations benefit greatly from such 'shared parenting' arrangements.
This is similar to saying that, for situations in which children are eating a healthy diet and are exercising regularly, they should be permitted to continue to do so. Why? Because children in that situation benefit greatly from such a healthy regime.
However, shouldn't we be encouraging ALL children to eat healthily and to exercise regularly??? Wouldn't ALL children benefit from this regime??? The answer, of course, is yes and yes!
What the judiciary still REFUSES to concede is that ALL children should be allowed to benefit from a 'shared care arrangement' (of course, where it is safe for them to do so). In other words, they continue to refuse to support a legal rebuttable presumption of Shared Parenting.
In light of the judgment in Re K, the obvious question for our President is...
Does he now believe that ALL children should be permitted to benefit from a 'shared care arrangement'?
I wonder if Sir Nicholas Wall will be willing to answer such a straight-forward question?
Mr BD (litigant-in-person father in Re D [2010] Civ 50)
I doth my cap to you, John. I was not at all expecting that my post would make it through your filter.
Let us see whether
a) others within the legal blogging fraternity are as willing to be so bold, and
b) whether the President actually responds to the question.
Mr BD
The fact that Leave to Remove has been granted with such terrific ease over the past several decades will reflect very poorly on Britain in the very near future, and I suspect certain members of the judiciary will have child abuse to answer for. But then, institutionalized child abuse is what Britain has always seemed to excel so well in.ReplyDelete

When your four-wheeled baby suddenly starts buckling and coughing out black smoke, you take it to your mechanic to get it fixed. Like a doctor, the mechanic will typically diagnose the problem first, tell you what needs to be repaired or replaced, and tell you how much it'll cost you to get your car back into shape. When an approved repair does not fix the problem, the mechanic failed to correctly diagnose the problem in the first place. When this happens, mechanics will often refuse to provide you a refund, since they did spend time working on your car and paid out-of-pocket for any parts that were replaced. However, you're not necessarily out of options.
Ask to speak to the manager in charge of the repair shop or establishment where you took your car to be worked on.
Introduce yourself to the manager in a calm and collected manner, and explain the problem. Tell him what the original problem with the car was, what work the mechanic performed on it and explain that the problem is still there.
Video of the Day
Tell the manager what resolution you would like. Before asking for your money back, you may want to allow the shop a second opportunity to fix the problem, at no charge to you. However, if you're so unhappy with the mechanic's work or attitude that you want nothing more to do with the establishment, ask the manager to refund your money. At this point, the manager will either oblige or refuse the refund request. He will most likely offer a partial refund, asking you to pay just the cost of the part but returning any service charges.
Explain what steps you're prepared to take if you don't get your money back. For instance, you might tell him that you will file a complaint against the company with the local Better Business Bureau or the local Chamber of Commerce. You might even threaten to file a suit in small claims court against the company. Don't make threats you're not prepared to carry out.
Report the company to both the Chamber of Commerce and BBB if at this point you still have not received a refund. If the cost of the unnecessary repair was very expensive, then consider filing a lawsuit to recover your money. Many states have all the forms needed online to file a lawsuit in small claims court, so you don't need to hire a lawyer, although if the cost of an attorney is not an issue and you're suing on principle, then retain an attorney to make the legal process easier for you.

- output, the output pin of the IC 555.
- reset, the pin that serves to reset the latch inside the IC to be influential to reset the IC work. This pin is connected to a PNP-type transistor gate, so the transistor will be active if given a logic low. Normally this pin is connected directly to Vcc to prevent reset
- control voltage, this pin serves to regulate the stability of the reference voltage negative input (comparator A). This pin can be left hanging, but to ensure the stability of the reference comparator A, usually associated with a capacitor of about 10nF to berorde pin groun
- threshold, this pin is connected to the positive input (comparator A) which will reset the RS flip-flop when the voltage on the capacitor from exceeding 2 / 3 Vc

Grind or grate cheese and set aside. Grind nuts and set aside. Wash and spin dry oregano leaves (not the stems unless they are very tender).
Have your food processor ready for this next step: Heat oil in large pot and add cleaned garlic cloves, each cut into about three pieces. After about one minute, add the oregano leaves and quickly stir until they have been "blanched" for about 30 seconds – you really don't want it cooked, which will make it brown. Pour all of the contents into the food processor, add a pinch of ascorbic acid or a bit of lemon juice and pulse until puréed. Measure this into a bowl and add the same quantity of nuts and cheese. The quantities of nuts and cheese to use are to personal preference – as with the quantity of olive oil to use. If you want it thinner, add more. I sometimes wonder if this isn't just a vehicle for Parmesan cheese! You may also make the pesto WITHOUT the cheese and add it when serving. I put in small glass jars. Will keep for about one week in refrigerator or months in the freezer.
1. I usually use half a good quality extra virgin and half a neutral baking olive oil.
2. Different nuts give the pesto a slightly different flavor. Walnuts makes a pesto great for pork, while the almonds and cashews give a lighter taste perhaps better for toast. I generally don't bother to use pine nuts (yikes, $35/lb) – while creamier in texture, it doesn't seem to do much for the flavor.

As a former teacher and teacher of teachers, Commissioner of Education, Candice McQueen's heart is never far from the classroom. In this post, the commissioner recaps her recent stop in Collierville, Fayette County, and Hardeman County schools on the Classroom Chronicles tour.
By Candice McQueen, Tennessee Commissioner of Education
Earlier this month, I reached my goal of connecting with 10,000 teachers on the Classroom Chronicles tour in an effort to learn how policy looks in classrooms across the Tennessee. I truly appreciate getting to spend time with so many outstanding educators in Tennessee, and it's been a tremendous journey. While meeting this initial goal was an important moment on my path to connect with as many classroom teachers as I can, I'm excited that the journey continues. Last Friday, I had the pleasure of visiting three districts in Southwest Tennessee. There was a strong sense of community in each of these districts, and students and teachers were highly engaged in teaching and learning, even as excitement for summer builds.
At Crosswind Elementary in Collierville, I had the honor of reading and discussing one of my new favorite books, What Do You Do with an Idea? by Kobi Yamada, with Joan Donahue's fifth graders. Down the hall in Tara Peeper's fourth grade classroom, students were highly engaged as they worked in centers related to their study of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods. I enjoyed learning how Ms. Peeper and her colleagues have been incorporating literacy instruction using chapter books as anchors in other content areas, such as social studies. It was clear the students were invested in their learning; despite already donning their field day t-shirts in anticipation of festivities later that afternoon, they were enthusiastically collaborating with one another and eager to share their work with me. Crosswind's strong sense of community, collaborative environment, and high expectations for all students is certainly a strong recipe for continued success.
The students I met at Crosswind will also benefit from a new high school building, thanks to the significant investment of the Collierville community. Immediately following my visit to Crosswind, I was honored to join the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Collierville High School, to be opened in 2018. The community spirit there was infectious; district leaders, legislators, school board members, administrators, teachers, students, and other members of the community gathered to celebrate Collierville High School's exciting future in a new state-of-the-art building. I was encouraged that the Collierville community isn't simply building a newer, larger space; they are very intentionally building a facility with student learning in mind. The new building will be equipped with STEM and CTE spaces, as well as an infrastructure to support a 1:1 technology initiative. The large, enthusiastic crowd at the groundbreaking ceremony and the significant investment in this important undertaking is a testament to the community's commitment to a high-quality education for all students.
A strong sense of community was also apparent in nearby Fayette County where I had the opportunity to meet with parents and teachers at Oakland Elementary. I was encouraged to hear how they've worked together to strengthen the school culture and carry out the district's strategic plan, which aligns to directly our strategic plan for the state, Tennessee Succeeds. I then visited several classrooms were students and teachers were making the most of their time left together before summer break. Students in Patti Williams' second grade class were honing their investigative skills with a hands-on science experiment, and Dan Welch's fourth graders were leading their own interactive, Hollywood Squares-style review game on the American Revolution.
I ended the day in Hardeman County with classroom visits at Bolivar Elementary, where I saw a keen focus on quality literacy instruction. Micca Sinclair's students were engaged in a collaborative activity analyzing paragraph structure. Down the hall, April Pulliam's students were evaluating and revising their writing pieces from earlier in the year. This provided students the opportunity to thinking critically about their own work and make improvements, as well as reflect on the year's learning and the progress they had made.
I appreciate the district and community leaders, teachers, parents, legislators, and students who welcomed me to these wonderful communities. With these schools' strong commitment to literacy instruction and the support of dedicated parents and communities, I know these students will continue to experience great success in school and beyond.
Thank you to Rep. Curry Todd for joining us on the visits to Crosswind Elementary and the Collierville High School Groundbreaking and Sen. Delores Gresham for joining us on the visits to Oakland Elementary and Bolivar Elementary.

To know how to drive may be considered an individual right, but getting a license to drive is a privilege. It comes with responsibility to safeguard your possessions—your life and property. Needless to say, when you drive drunk and get caught, you're unfortunate. And if accidents involving injury or loss of a life happen and you're in the influence of alcohol and other illegal substance, you're finished! You will need the service of a Criminal Defense Attorney to get you out of the tragedy.
DUI Laws and Penalties in Georgia
In Georgia, DUI or driving under the influence is a mode of operating vehicles with blood alcohol content of 0.08%, 0.04% and 0.02%, or higher, for drivers age 21, for those using commercial motor vehicles, and those younger than 21 years old, respectively. Thus, DUI and charges depend on the age, type if license and previous convictions (if any).
Georgia takes DUI a serious case, unlike some states. It has zero level of tolerance for violators under 21 years old. Usually, penalties include revocation and license suspension, fines, jail time or school time, and increase in the rates of car insurance. Other penalties like placing ignition interlock devices, or restricted driving permits are also possible and granted on a privilege.
What to Expect When Charged with DUI
If the offender is 15 years old, or below, a fee will be collected, suspension of license until the age of 17 is reached, plus the person will undergo a drug/alcohol risk reduction program at the latter's own costs. For ages 16-20, offenders will face 6 months to 5 years suspension of driver's license, a corresponding fee, plus DUI alcohol/drug risk reduction program. For repeat offenders, a clinical assessment and treatment is a requirement.
Moreover, if the violator is 21 years old and older, he will face 1-3 years license suspension, a fine, fees for reinstatement of the license, a seminar/ program on alcohol/drug risk reduction, jail time of no more than 1 year, a mandatory community service that totals to 40 hours to 30 days, restricted driving permit, or revocation of license for 5 years to repeated offenders. And as a matter of privilege for those having 2 offenses within the 5 year period, you will be eligible for interlock ignition device at your own expense, except due to financial considerations.
Now, on the query "will I loose my license" if the offense is driving under the influence of controlled substance or possession of marijuana? Inside or outside of your car, it will also affect ones driving privileges. Possible sanctions include 180 days to 5 years license suspension, as well as other penalties specified above. Check out http://www.jdwlawfirm.com
Normally, drivers operating commercial vehicles will face higher gravity of penalties as compared to those with regular drivers' license. It will be handled by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration or FMCSA.
Encompassing all ages of offenders, the law in Georgia requires them to undergo the risk reduction programs that are in two components: the assessment and intervention. Along with your criminal defense attorney, the judge will inform you on the list of accredited DUI schools with the required policies, specifically attendance.
All DUI conviction comes with license suspension. Nevertheless, the gravity of the offense makes it a steeper hill to climb to get you out of the predicament. A criminal defense attorney will help you make a rough scenario into a smooth situation. Consult him/her first before offering a plea on a trial.

This tale of psychotherapy in graphic novel form is nicely done. It tells of a man called James coming in to Patricia Phillips for help with his habit of stealing. He is well off, so he does not need the objects he steals. He does it for much more idiosyncratic reasons that are not very clear to him. The task of the therapy is to work out why he does it and how to solve those underlying problems. Through the therapy, they explore his past, his dreams and fantasies, and his actions within the therapy. Below the pictures are footnotes explaining technical terms and ideas, and comment not only on why Patricia does what she does, but also what mistakes she makes. It is an instructive guide to modern psychotherapy that will appeal not only to those who know nothing about it but also those who have been in therapy already; even therapists will find ideas to interest them. It's particularly interesting to see the thoughts of the therapist and the client at the same time. We see, for example, Pat thinking about how hungry or tired she is, and then reminding herself to focus on her client. It's a nice depiction of ordinary parts of therapy that often go unmentioned. The therapy itself is successful, although it takes 43 sessions, which is considerably less than some old-style psychoanalysis, but also considerably more than most cognitive-behavioral therapy. The amount of working through familiar issues repetitively in such a long therapy is significant, although we don't get to see that part of it. Rather, for us, the story unfolds in a linear manner, largely in the familiar detective story of uncovering the truth behind the client's forgetfulness and self-deception.
The artwork by Junko Graat is a little crude, and some of the drawing seems unpolished, but for the most part, it works well. The book is a quick and enjoyable read, and the graphic form provides an emphasis on the two different perspectives of therapist and client that would be hard to achieve with prose alone.

There's nothing the British love to eat more in the winter than a good old-fashioned pie. So we've given the classic a twist by introducing chorizo and a splash of St. Stefanus. Give it a try and share your creation with us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
• Olive oil
• 8 chicken thighs (skinless and boneless) or 4 chicken breasts, chopped
• Half a chorizo ring
• 1 large leek, chopped
• 200g baby button mushrooms, halved
• A handful of thyme sprigs
• 2tbsps plain flour
• 400ml chicken stock
• 150ml milk
• A healthy splash of St. Stefanus (50-100ml)
• A sheet of puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten
For serving:
• Seasonal vegetables – we recommend asparagus or tender-stem broccoli
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a wide-based saucepan over a medium heat. You won't need much as the chorizo will give off its own oil and add more flavour.
Next, add the chorizo and stir for a couple of minutes. Then add the chicken and fry gently for around 10 minutes.
Once the chicken is sealed, add the leek, mushrooms and thyme and fry for a further 10 minutes.
Now it's time to start building up the sauce. First add two heaped tablespoons of plain flour and stir for a minute until the mixture thickens and starts to stick together. If it's still oily, add more flour and repeat.
Once the mixture has come together, add the chicken stock followed by 150ml of milk and a healthy splash of St. Stefanus.
Bring the mixture to the boil, cover and let it simmer for around 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the liquid has thickened to a creamy texture, take the pan off the heat and allow it cool. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 220˚C.
Transfer the mixture into your favourite pie dish. Roll out your puff pastry sheet and cover the pie. Decorate with any pastry off-cuts and pierce the top three tops.
Finally, brush one beaten egg over the top of the pastry (this will help to ensure a beautiful, golden crust) and put in the oven at 220˚C for around 30-40 minutes.
Serve with seasonal greens and a few glasses of St. Stefanus.

It's official, September 22nd is World Car Free Day. Is this one of the world's best kept secrets?
What a great opportunity to celebrate this day by leaving your car at home and considering an alternative means of transport. But, if you really must use your car, you could share any empty seats, which would be the next best thing.
We confess, at UGOMYWAY, we've been on a mission for a few years now to popularise carpooling, having addressed one of the missing links; a home grown, world class, carpool app. But the news of this day came as a surprise to us. Mea culpa – apologies – never again!
South Africa also celebrates Transport Month during October. UGOMYWAY have a number of initiatives to raise awareness of carpooling at various locations throughout Cape Town. We will also reach a significant milestone in our journey – the launch of UGOMYWAY on iPhone during the month of December. Here's a sneak preview:-
Soon after launching on iPhone, we will be updating our Android platform with all the improvements we made during the development of the iPhone app.
The power of the exponential effect is also fast becoming apparent. During our research we could see that as we approached 1,000 users the chances of finding a carpool match would increase significantly. We can now see this effect happening with each new Cape Town user, more often than not, finding a match.
We cannot express how grateful we are to those first 500, or so, users, for whom the chances of finding a match were kinda slim. Nothing worth doing was ever easy.
If you didn't find a good match first time come back and give it another go now.

I love the holiday season, but this year is especially spectacular. Not only did it snow this weekend, but the temperature in Eugene has stayed cold enough to keep it looking like a winter wonderland! A week into December, and with the lovely evergreens surrounding Eugene laden with the white, fluffy precipitation; the streets and rooftops snow-covered, the season has announced itself: Christmas is here!
This year, along with my usual reasons for loving the season – putting a tree up and dressing it up for the season; the festive decorations and lights around town; holiday shopping and wrapping (or bagging) gifts; anticipating fun family get-togethers; watching people go by all bundled up against the cold; Christmas music – I get to add a couple of new ones to my list: the scrunch of footsteps in the snow; snow blowing off branches and swirling in the breeze against a blue winter sky. But I always come back to an old favorite: the red, white and green flowers we work with in the store. When the snow-tinted pine cones and Christmas greenery come out at work, it's easy to get inspired, so I thought I'd give you a glimpse of some red, white and green floral inspiration at Dandelions:
Green and white kale adds fantastic texture to any arrangement you add it to.
The big, beautiful and exotic blooms of cymbidium orchids with their deep red throats are a great attention-grabber.
Deep red ranunculus, with its lovely, ruffly petals.
I never get tired of the wild allure of bells of Ireland. Their height is perfect for a showy, seasonal design.
Red dogwood is also great for height in an arrangement. It's woodsy red tint is perfect for the season.
Red poinsettias are a Christmas icon! Their bold beauty add festivity to anyone's holiday decor.
Exotic, bright red anthuriums, if you're looking for something different, and dramatic!
White poinsettias! Another winter holiday beauty!
I love the elegance that white dendrobium orchids bring to an arrangement.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
