Shelby stayed at my home to care for my two dogs over a weekend. She did a fantastic job and was extremely reliable! She sent pictures and videos and gave me updates on my pups through the entire weekend. My dogs seemed to have a blast! I was really lucky to have found her when I did (I had another caregiver on this site bail last minute). She was extremely easy to get along with ...
Shelby is absolutely excellent. She walks our German Shepherd on a weekly basis and has stayed overnight once. Our dog is very timid and doesn't warm up to people easily. Shelby is very sweet and gentle with her and has even cleaned up after Nali had an accident. She also cared for our two cats while we were away and they all seem to love her! We are so grateful to have found Shelby.
Shelby took great care of our dog and our house while we were on vacation. She really went above and beyond, caring for our baby as if he were her own. The daily updates and pictures were much appreciated - knowing he was being so well looked after let us enjoy our vacation even more! We highly recommend Shelby and will definitely use her services again.
Dedicated dog-lover all of my life!
For as long as I can remember, my family has included at least one dog and one cat, and I've been caring for other family's beloved furry pals since my early teenage years. As a recent transplant to Bend from Michigan, I'd love to explore the area on foot with your pal. I'm an active person who believes in keeping pets active too, with three years experience working at an animal hospital in various roles ...

House of Berlin is Proud to Announce that its Public Relations and Marketing Department is Agency of Record for Steve Reason, Saxophonist, Singer, Songwriter, and Performer.
Miami, FL – March 11, 2015 – House of Berlin began its relationship with Steve Reason in 2009. The international agency will be responsible for handling Reason’s public relations and marketing efforts, including, but not limited to, social media campaigns, press tours, red carpet interviews, and performance opportunities, etc.
[*Quote from Steve Reason about partnership here]
House of Berlin will begin with assisting in the release of Steve Reason’s hot new single “Bedtime” Feat. Ja’Rae, releasing March 2015, as well as his highly anticipated projects with SmoothJazz.com Global Radio. HOB will additionally seek opportunities for Reason to cameo in various films, commercials, and T.V. series, as well as get his music into the soundtracks of upcoming productions.
“Steve has a style all on his own, combining the saxophone with R&B and Hip Hop elements. He brings with him a fresh feel as an artist, offering a new sound that has never been heard before,” said Brandi Kolosky, CEO & President of House of Berlin. “Though, beyond that, his talent as a singer, dancer, producer, songwriter, and performer is unmatched. This unique blend of skills is why we are excited to be a part of this project.”
More About: Steve Reason was born Steve Fertil in Miami, FL. A multi-talented artist, Reason began singing at the early age of 10, and playing sax at 12. Influenced by such musical genres as Rock, Gospel, R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz, World Music, Kompa, Latin and Reggae, Reason developed a unique musical style. He would later start a band in high school called “2EZ”. 2EZ ended up playing at local venues weekly, until several members went off to college and the band broke up. Ready to try something new, Reason enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corp. After serving, Reason pursued a college education at Florida Memorial University in Jazz Studies. Graduating in 2011, Reason got a job as an intern at Circle House Recording Studios, managing their social media. Inspired by the many successful artists with whom he worked, Reason started another band called “Reasonable Doubt.” This led to him doing gigs as a solo saxophone player. Through Youtube, Reason was discovered and asked to tour as a saxophone player for platinum-selling international recording artist Mia Martina. He subsequently began performing all over Canada, the United States, Russia, Turkey, and Europe, building his name internationally. Reason was later hired by a Miami rapper which led him to record on a record as a tribute to Nelson Mandela, prior to Mandela’s passing. After being heard and seen playing on the track, Reason was offered a recording contract. Since then, Reason has completed his debut album, “Let’s Have Sax,” which is a collection of love songs with tributes to Bob Marley and Nelson Mandela. The talented Reason has since won “Musician of the Month” by Star Central Magazine and continues to enthrall listeners with his unique musical style and artistic talent.

NEW DELHI: India's national programme to combat non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes, stroke and cancer will be rolled out in the entire country by next April.
Addressing the United Nations summit on NCDs in New York on Tuesday, Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said that screening of all adult males above 30 years of age and pregnant women of all age groups for diabetes and hypertension is underway in 100 identified districts across 21 states and urban slums in 33 cities.
India aims to screen over 150 million people by next March under this pilot project, which is the largest such exercise attempted anywhere in the world.
Azad attributes NCDs to contributing half (50%) of the country's total mortality. With the cumulative increase in losses from premature deaths due to NCDs, India stands to lose $237 billion between 2004 and 2015, predicts the World Health Organization.
"India's technology innovations have led to affordable healthcare. Prominent among these are re-combinant human insulin, poly-pill for prevention of cardio-vascular and stroke events, clot buster to enhance efficiency and a heart valve for rheumatic heart disease," Azad said.
He added, "It is difficult enough to be sick, but it is devastating to be poor and sick. It is, therefore, vital to ensure universal access to medicines, including through the full use of the flexibilities contained in the TRIPS Agreement and the Doha Declaration on TRIPS."
In a report released by the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Tuesday, the five NCDs that is wreaking havoc are CVD, diabetes, mental illness, chronic respiratory disease and cancer, which will cost the global economy $47 trillion over the next 20 years and push millions below the poverty line.
The WEF said 70% of lost output from NCDs is due to mental illness and CVDs.
Mental ill-health accounts for over $16 trillion, or about one third of the total $47 trillion estimated expenses on NCDs.
A WHO report released simultaneously says that measures like reducing tobacco and harmful alcohol use as well as unhealthy diet and physical inactivity will cost $2 billion per year for all low and middle-income countries, which works out to less than $ 0.40 per person.
About 63% of all deaths worldwide currently occur due to NCDs. About one-quarter of all NCD deaths occur below the age of 60, leading to approximately nine million deaths per year. NCDs have a large impact, undercutting productivity and boosting healthcare outlays.
WHO says in 2008, over 52 lakh people died of NCDs in India, or 53% of all deaths.
Among men, 38% of the deaths were below 60 years, while among women the corresponding figure was 32%. CVDs accounted for 24% of all deaths, cancers (6%), respiratory disease (11%), diabetes (2%) and other NCDs 10%, says WHO's latest country profile on NCD trends in 193 countries.
Looking at the metabolic risk factors, WHO's estimates can be worrying for Indians.
Around 33% people have high blood pressure, 10% have high blood glucose, 11% are overweight and 27% have high cholesterol.
Ann Keeling, chair of the NCD Alliance steering group, said "The most important outcome of the UN summit on NCDs will be sustained and strong political support for a framework of specific commitments to tackle the NCD crisis. The aim is to reduce NCD death rates by 2% per year that will avert an estimated 36 million deaths over 10 years."

Deciding whether to purchase a Long Term Care Insurance policy could be one of the most important choices you ever make for your retirement and your family. Weighing the cost of a policy against the extremely high cost of long-term care services such as nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and in-home care is not easy. A recent feature on NPR Long Term Care Insurance explored the landscape of long-term health care and highlights some of the critical facts and challenges in the area of long-term care. While there are no easy answers, you should begin thinking about your future, long-term care needs today as time is most critical factor in preparing for a financially secure and peaceful retirement.
NPR Long Term Care Insurance, consider the costs
The complexity of long-term care is covered nicely in the NPR.org piece. More than 11 million Americans each year need some form of long-term care and most of us would agree that being a financial and emotional burden to our children or other relatives is not what we consider a peaceful way to live out our years. This figure of 11 million will double in about 20 years. NPR Long Term Care Insurance says premiums can be high but are dwarfed by the costs of the various types of care. Consider these average annual costs:
- Nursing Home – $85,000
- Assisted Living Facility – $47,000
- Home Care – $42,400
And, some estimates have these numbers tripling in the coming decade. All of this paints a picture of a ticking time-bomb for many in the Baby boomer generation who are now entering retirement.
The reality is, anyone in their 40s or 50s should consider a Long Term Care Insurance policy if their goal is to complete their retirement portfolio by providing the security and protection that only Long Term Care Insurance can provide. While many Americans think they can simply save for their future long-term care needs, keeping up with the rising costs of long-term care can be nearly impossible for most of us. However, NPR Long Term Care Insurance mentions policies offer “inflation protection” which means that the value and payout amounts rise with the age of the policy. And, with a generous benefit amount, you’ll have the security of knowing you’re covered even if you need care for a few years or longer.
Next steps in your LTC research
Understanding Long Term Care Insurance and how to make the right decisions for your retirement plans is difficult. You’ll want to work with professionals like the experts here at LTC Tree.

The partition of India in 1947 divided British India into two independent dominions: India and Pakistan. The Dominion of India is today the Republic of India, and the Dominion of Pakistan is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The partition involved the division of two provinces, Bengal and Punjab, based on district-wide non-Muslim or Muslim majorities. The partition also saw the division of the British Indian Army, the Royal Indian Navy, the Royal Indian Air Force, the Indian Civil Service, the railways, and the central treasury. The partition was outlined in the Indian Independence Act 1947 and resulted in the dissolution of the British Raj, i.e., Crown rule in India. The two self-governing independent Dominions of India and Pakistan legally came into existence at midnight on 14–15 August 1947.
The partition displaced between 10 and 20 million people along religious lines, creating overwhelming calamity in the newly-constituted dominions. It is estimated that around 200,000–2 million people died during migration. It is often described as the largest mass human migration and one of the largest refugee crises in history. There was large-scale violence, with estimates of the loss of life accompanying or preceding the partition disputed and varying between several hundred thousand and two million. The violent nature of the partition created an atmosphere of hostility and suspicion between India and Pakistan that affects their relationship to this day.
The term partition of India does not cover the secession of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971, nor the earlier separations of Burma (now Myanmar) and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) from the administration of India. The term also does not cover the political integration of princely states into the two new dominions, nor the disputes of annexation or division arising in the princely states of Hyderabad, Junagadh, and Jammu and Kashmir, though violence along religious lines did break out in some princely states at the time of the partition. It does not cover the incorporation of the enclaves of French India into India during the period 1947–1954, nor the annexation of Goa and other districts of Portuguese India by India in 1961. Other contemporaneous political entities in the region in 1947—the Kingdom of Sikkim, Kingdom of Bhutan, Kingdom of Nepal, Kingdom of Afghanistan, and the Maldives—were unaffected by the partition.

One of the most recent essays that I have published is a retelling of an Icelandic saga/fairytale that felt potent for our time.Â Enjoy. Published in the literary journal:Â NOLA DIASPORA, New Orleans
GAN WORDS OF POWER AND DANCING GIANTS
In Mardi Gras, what is forbidden, dangerous, and sensual comes to life on the streets and in procession of communal display. A carnival of wildness rooted in African, and Native American ceremony reminds us of ancient ritual mysteries. These celebrations, traced back to Neolithic times, renew us. It is a healing collusion of extravagance. But when the Giants, hidden in caves and beneath the ground, put on suits and ties and military costumes confusing illogic for power, the procession offers no renewal. I have found solace in rereading Icelandic Sagas about Stalos, a breed of Giants, who having lost their hearts and suffered at the hands of more intelligent settlers, either became protectors of land or its vile and violent enemies, stealing children and wreaking havoc.
STALO and the STOLEN TREASURE
STALO stole the treasures of the world that had been given at the beginning of time. He and his Giant wife and family members lived on a remote island nearly impossible to find–and if found, impossible to penetrate. They held the treasures with greed and violated anyone who attempted to retrieve them.
In our world there was once a great Shaman who had three sons. He knew the ancient magic. He knew how to use the first drum that told the futureÂ Â One day he called his three sons. He told them that it was their duty to destroy the Giant and bring back the treasures to the world.
He wept, â€œThe world is suffering from drought and famine. Things have gone awry.â€
The eldest son quickly replied that he would do it. â€œI have no fear!â€ he boasted.
He took his spear. He chose the strongest boat to sail on wild seas. However, the Giant saw that he was coming. With his awful breath Stalo caused the waves to rush at the boat with more force than a storm and drowned the eldest son.
The second son boasted that he was smarter than his brother. He chose a rarely traveled and hidden route by which he could move unseen. But the Giant knew he was coming. Stalo planted traps along the route. Within weeks the second son was killed.
The Giant rejoiced. â€œNo one of the Samee world can defeat me. I am the strongest. I am the smartest. I know everything.â€
The third son, the youngest, said he needed time to reflect on how to bring back the treasures. He went to the mountains. He made offerings to his peopleâ€™s deities; gods and goddesses, ancestors, and great heroines and heroes of the past. Then one day months later, he returned. He went to his father and asked for a special boat and his fatherâ€™s blessing.
The old Shaman sang power into his son. He gave him a beautiful boat. It had wings painted on the sides. The front had the face of a tiger. The inside of the boat was painted like the body of a stag. The oars were made from the horns of great reindeer who had given their lives so the people could eat, make clothing and other things that they needed to survive in their cold world.
Then the youngest son put his plan into action. He found the fur of a Giant bear and he cleaned it. He put it in freezing waters and stood it outside in the coldest nights. Soon the bear skin was frozen. It stood like a wild beast Giant. The son climbed inside the skin and set off in the boat for Staloâ€™s island. Of course, Stalo knew he was coming. He caused a great storm. The boat was stopped in the middle of the sea and surrounded by fierce raging waves.
Joyfully the Giant rowed in his stone boat and grabbed the Giant bear. He was certain that the small man inside was dead. The third son remained absolutely silent.
Stalo wanted to give the bear skin to his son. â€œIt will make a very nice coat,â€ he said.
He put the frozen skin beside the fire to melt. Then Stalo went out to invite all his relatives to a dinner to celebrate his victory over the three sons.
While he was gone, the bear skin began to melt. The Giantâ€™s boy, who was lazy, fell asleep. Quietly the youngest son snuck out of the skin. He looked around the room. He saw Staloâ€™s huge moon axe, made of invincible metals and moonbeams. He lifted it up with great effort and hauled it above a cupboard beside the door. When the Giant returned he heaved the axe and cut off his head.
The little Giant boy ran away, foolishly calling out, â€œYou will never find the treasure. You will never find the treasure that is buried underneath our house.â€
So the young man pulled up all the rugs until he found a door. He opened it. He heard weeping. It was hard to see because the gold and silver that filled the room below the Giantâ€™s house was too bright. But, when his eyes grew accustomed to the light, he saw a young woman crying. She was in chains beside a three headed monster.
â€œI have put the monster to sleep with my powerful gan-words,â€ she said. But I could not loosen the chains that hold me tight. The Giant Stalo wants to marry me to his own son. I am miserable,â€ she wept. â€œI have dreamed that a young man would find me here whose power equals mine and together we could destroy the monster and the power of the Giants.â€
â€œDo not worry,â€ said the young man. He took the Giantâ€™s Moon Metal Axe and broke her chains.
Then she sang her incantations, lilting gan words of power, and she moved her hands around the three heads of the monster so that they began to snore and babble. With the axe in hand, together they chopped off the three heads. They opened another door on the floor and threw the heads and the body of the monster into the deepest earth where the power of the monster â€“ who could never be killed â€“ would nourish the earth with its energy and return the rains and the energy of growth that was stopped when the monster was brought above ground on that island to serve the Giants.
They loaded all the gold and silver onto the boat. The boat moved through the seas. It was guided and protected by her songs and words. The two youths returned the treasures to their people. The powerful girl and the youngest son became the great leaders of the Sameh.
They cared for all and not just themselves. They shared the treasures with everyone. And with the gan words of the young woman, they were able to call forth the knowledge of the Giant, even though he was dead– in order to know how and when to plant the trees and flowers and fruits that would feed their people.
For a long time there was peace in their land.
They ruled equally and they rules with kindness which is the greatest strength. And they were generous which was invincible.
The bodies of the Giants and the monsters nourished the roots of the earth. And the youngest son and the girl who knew gan words were true leaders.
By Laura Simms 2017
There is a heroine in the Stalo Giant tale who works side by side with the hero. She knows what are called, gan-words, words of power. (With genuine power the sound and intention is as potent if not more so than the content). She can cause the Giant’s head to speak after death to reveal where he has hidden treasures and who guards and how to overcome the guard. And in the dark caverns where the treasures are kept, she uses her incantations to put to sleep all three heads of the monster whose breath spews destruction. That monster – quelled – was caused to return beneath the lower earth where his breath insured life, and vital balance, rather than poison. In the listening, is the magic where no thing is separate from the other.
The function of fairytales is to bring what has gone out of balance into balance. We need them now more than ever. But we need to see inside them to recognize how they work. To release the secreted energy of transformation that has been hidden within image and sound. The tales are the diasporic literature of an older more fundamentally interdependent world view dismantled by the delusion of control of other, the natural world and what is feared because of its power.
The seemingly fanciful content of the tales, whose amazing resilience through history belies their devaluation, tells a story of how to retrieve the ignored and suppressed power of the feminine. Kings and Queens, poor merchants and their wives go out on futile quests to find fertility, treasures, and overcome monsters that wreak havoc. Princesses who have been sleeping or simply left the world because it was violent, are retrieved through riddles, devotion and nonaggression. Foolish sons and unconscious daughters, whose beauty or kindness is hated or the source of envy and bullying siblings, are the ones who go beyond convention and save the day through outrageous commitment to compassion, the capacity to confront witches, willingness to listen to horses and give up comfort for love.
The stories have been told over and over. Cultures transform the same patterns of events, change the animals or the one who succeeds based on beliefs, but the inner life – the alchemy of images â€“ remain unchanged, even unrecognized for their potency. The psychological analysis of stories as journeys is documented. But the wild uncover of transformation â€“ the ancient capacity for seeing the world as it is and knowning the magic of regeneration from the heart and spirit â€“ is what is tucked into the images to be unleashed into the mind and heart through the one who can once again retell the tale. Like DNA binding us to our actual lineage of migrations, the images of the story retain something even through endless circumnavigations and interpretation.
Sacred ritual, shamanic instructions, ecological information are all hidden within the puzzle of the story and accessible through the voice that sings from another time through spoken incantations brought alive in the collusion of imaginations listening. The instructions are not literal or laid out. They are to be discovered. The Diaspora is enormous. The place from which we have all been removed, evacuated, is our own invincible homeland of unconditional nobility of mind. The place where are cultures, mythologies, sacred histories, and traditions arose so that our communal lives would be supported by relationships, and responsibility with wisdom and joy.
I have recreated the story of Stalo from many sources, including my knowledge of other Norwegian fairytales like “The Giant With No Heart” and “The Magic Drum.”

This week I have a special layout to share for the challenge over at Scrap and Stamp. The week's theme is to create a layout about someone who inspires you. So I did one on a very special lady, someone so special that my family adopted her as a Grandma of our own. I used a line she stated on a recent visit as the title, "No Spring Chicken" and I paper pieced some cute chickens of my own design. Here is the layout:
I used all Jillibean Soup papers in this layout along with some vintage lace and buttons. I love how it turned out, if you click on the photo you can view it large enough to read the journaling. I guessed at what she would say the prescription for life would be with the bible verse from Matthew 22:37; "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind." Thanks Grandma Taylor for being such a wonderful example of how a christian woman should be, we love you bunches. We can all hope to still inspire people at age 92, can't we?

Microsoft patches IE security hole
Microsoft has released a patch for an Internet Explorer 6 software hole through which China-based cyber spies attacked Google and other firms.
"Microsoft continues to see limited and targeted attacks against Internet Explorer 6 only," Jerry Bryant, senior security program manager at Microsoft, said in a statement.
"Microsoft recommends customers deploy this security update as soon as possible to protect themselves against the known attacks," he said.
Microsoft deemed the software fix so important that it veered from its usual protocol of releasing security updates on the second Tuesday of each month.
Attacks that prompted a showdown between Internet giant Google and global power China only worked against IE 6, so computer users can protect themselves by switching to newer versions of the web browser, according to Microsoft.
No matter which web browser people use, upgrading to the most current version promises to increase protection against hackers.
Microsoft confirmed last week that a previously unknown security vulnerability in its IE 6 browser was used in cyberattacks which prompted Google to threaten to shut down its operations in China.
Revealing the attacks on January 12, Google said they originated from China and targeted the email accounts of Chinese human rights activists around the world, but did not explicitly accuse the Chinese government of responsibility.
Attackers used email or some other lure to get employees of a targeted company to click on a link and visit a specially crafted website using Internet Explorer.
Malicious software would then be downloaded that has the capability to essentially install 'back doors' in machines and give hackers access.

Trees are beautiful natural features and can be made the focal point of any garden, particularly with a bit of imagination regarding ideas about landscaping around trees.
However, when the roots of a tree become exposed, it becomes a tripping hazard and can make your lawn look unkempt. Additionally, trees can become vulnerable when roots are exposed, and if left unprotected, it can be fatal.
The landscaping ideas we discuss will help you protect the roots of your tree while making it aesthetically pleasing.
In this article, we answer the following questions:
- Why Are My Tree’s Roots Exposed?
- What Can I Put Around a Tree With Exposed Roots?
- What Can I Use to Cover Exposed Tree Roots?
- What Should I Avoid When Covering Tree Roots?
Why Are My Tree’s Roots Exposed?
There are five kinds of tree roots; taproots absorb nutrients and water, while others help stabilize the tree. Tree roots usually grow below the ground. However, occasionally roots are forced above the surface by lack of space, wind or rain erosion, or soil wearing from foot traffic.
Some trees, such as willows, poplars, and certain types of maple, have feeder roots that grow close to the surface. It’s also common for older trees to have exposed roots. However, this tends to happen if the top layer of soil is too thin.
Exposed tree roots can easily be damaged by mowers, trimmers, and people walking over them. Any wounds caused to the roots leave your tree vulnerable to infection and rot.
What Can I Put Around a Tree With Exposed Roots?
Edging can add a clean, finished look to any landscaping you carry out in your garden. Root barriers may also need to be installed to prevent any damage to your yard.
There are different types of edging materials you can use in your outdoor space; some are easier to install than others. If you require a border that’s practical and easy to maintain, plastic or concrete edging could be ideal. However, if you want to achieve a more natural look, you could use wood or cut a border into the ground.
Natural edge: This is the most economical way to create an edging barrier for your mulch. The idea is that by digging a trench around your tree, and using an edger, you can prevent the mulch from spilling onto your lawn. However, occasionally, mulch may overflow due to rain or wind, making it messier than other border types.
Concrete blocks: These come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. They can add some fantastic textures to your garden, and they’re easy to install.
Concrete edging can be costly, but they’re more durable than other borders and won’t attract pests. They can also be re-arranged if you decide to change the aesthetics of your garden.
Plastic edging: This type of edging is versatile and usually comes with stakes that allow you to pin it into the ground. Other plastic borders have a jagged edge that enables you to push it straight into the soil.
Wood borders: Materials such as driftwood give a natural feel, or for a more uniform look, you can use something like a two-by-four. You could also purchase log rolls which are purposely made for edging. These have intermittent stakes along the bottom side so you can push them into the ground.
Wood borders will require more maintenance than plastic or concrete edging and could attract pests.
If the tree roots are growing too close to your property, you may want to consider installing root barriers. Root barriers are placed below the surface around the tree’s roots to prevent growth.
If the tree roots are too close or already invading your yard, they may need pruning before the barrier is installed. It’s best to get a professional arborist to prune or remove exposed tree roots. Pruning is a delicate process that can be fatal for your tree if it’s done incorrectly.
What Can I Use to Cover Exposed Tree Roots?
You could use several materials to cover your tree’s roots, including mulch, plants, or decking.
Mulch With Rocks or Organic Mulch
Mulching is the easiest way to cover tree roots. Mulch helps suppress weeds and lock moisture into the soil. It also acts as a wind barrier and protects your tree roots from direct sunlight.
There are two types of mulch; inorganic and organic. Each has advantages and disadvantages, but you can use either around your tree.
Inorganic mulches include rocks and gravel, but some varieties contain rubber and plastic. These types of mulch don’t attract pests, which makes them low-maintenance. They can be made a permanent part of your landscape, and they’re incredible at suppressing weeds.
However, rubber and plastic-based mulches can degrade and pollute your garden. A rock-based mulch can also compact and heat the soil in warmer weather which can be bad for your tree.
Many inorganic mulches can also block nutrients from reaching the soil. Although, materials such as decomposed granite add nutrients as it decomposes.
Some examples of types of landscaping stone that can be used as inorganic mulches are:
- Decomposed granite.
- Pea Gravel.
- Crushed stone.
- River rocks.
- Limestone gravel.
- Lava rocks.
Organic mulches are more affordable than inorganic mulches. They’re made up of natural materials and contain nutrients that act as slow-release plant food. As worms break down the mulch, it’ll improve the soil structure in the area beneath, helping it to retain moisture. It’ll also make the soil more fertile and free-draining.
However, organic mulch needs replenishing when you see signs of decomposition. So, in the grand scheme of things, it can end up being more costly. Saying this, you can always make your own by using materials like leaves.
The main disadvantage of organic mulch is that it can attract pests such as termites, which may damage your tree.
Organic mulches are usually made from dead plant materials such as:
- Wood chips.
- Grass clippings.
Some plants will thrive in the cool, shady area that lies beneath the foliage of your stunning tree. You could create a masterpiece that will eventually cover the tree’s base by planting in between the roots.
Use baby plants when creating your flower bed. These will require less digging, and you’re less likely to disturb or damage the roots. It’s also a good idea to use perennials as these won’t need replacing annually.
Always plan out where you’re going to plant flowers when your tree canopy is full of foliage. This way, you can see where the full or partial shade areas are, which will help you decide where to put certain plants.
Taller flowers and shrubs always look best, closer to the tree’s base, near the trunk and low-lying plants near the border.
There are many plants that you could use as a ground cover. Brunnera, coral bells, common wild ginger, and heartleaf foamflower look incredible around a tree base.
Other plants, such as wild strawberries, can also be used. They love the partial shade, and they’ll reward you with fruit.
You could put mulch down around the plants once they’ve been planted. Alternatively, you may want to use potted plants and place them on top of a mulch bed.
Decking is a great way to incorporate a tree into your outdoor living space. Building a raised deck around the tree will protect it from foot traffic, soil compaction, trimmers and mowers.
Make sure there is ample enough space around the tree’s trunk to allow for growth. Gaps between the decking planks will still allow water and oxygen through. Leaves should also be able to get through, which will provide the soil with the nutrients the tree needs.
What Should I Avoid When Covering Tree Roots?
You may have heard that you can place landscaping fabric underneath the mulch to prevent weeds from growing. However, landscape fabric can block the roots from accessing the nutrients provided by mulching. Some mulches will help suppress weed growth without the need to line with fabric.
The mulch should only just cover the tree roots, don’t pile mulch against the tree trunk. Over-mulching can cause roots to grow up and around the tree trunk, killing the tree; this is called root girdling.
Don’t add soil over the tree roots. Soil often contains clay and sand. By placing just 4-inches of soil over the roots, air and water pockets reduce in size.
When taproots cannot find the same level of oxygen and water as before, they may begin to die away. This can cause considerable stress to your tree, which can attract pests or lead to disease.
Before covering the roots with the first thing that springs to mind, consider the health of your tree. Leaving exposed tree roots can be fatal, but covering them with the wrong material can harm the tree.
It’s a good idea to contact an arborist to check your tree’s health and put down root barriers if needed before you begin landscaping.
After considering your tree’s health, what you use for landscaping around trees depends on how you want your garden to look. How much time you’re able to spend maintaining your yard may also determine your choice.


Warning that congestion pricing is not a sure bet, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie on Friday floated another idea to help fund mass transit also certain to infuriate motorists — raising the state sales tax on gasoline.
“It’s an option,” Heastie said at a Crain’s New York breakfast in Midtown.
He later told reporters he was merely citing “an example” of revenue sources other than congestion pricing that could be used for upgrading the subways.
The state’s sales tax on gasoline is currently capped at 8 cents a gallon — or 4 percent on a maximum of $2.
A brew of other local, state and federal taxes brought the total tax per gallon to an average of about 64 cents in 2018, fifth-highest in the nation, according to the American Automobile Association.
Gov. Cuomo has proposed a slew of new revenues to fund the MTA, including a congestion fee for entering Manhattan below 61st Street.
But Heastie said he’s “still not sure” he has the 76 Democratic votes he’ll need to get the fee through the Assembly. The state’s new $175 billion budget is supposed to be adopted by April 1.
Heastie said congestion pricing remains a touchy issue because many outer-borough lawmakers represent areas with spotty transit and want assurances their constituents will see improved service.
“You’ve got to offer them something better than two buses to the train,” he said.
In a surprising development, the American Automobile Association said it would consider supporting a higher gas tax if some of the revenue went to fix roads as well as transit — and said such a hike was preferable to congestion pricing.
“We would be open to something like that. But we’d like to see the details,” said AAA state legislative director John Corlett.
Major state and federal gas taxes haven’t been raised since 1990s, he said.
Transit advocates said they’d support both — congestion pricing and a gas-tax increase — to fund mass transit and help cover the MTA’s five-year, $40 billion capital plan. “Desperate times call for desperate measures, and these are desperate times,” said Lisa Daglian, executive director of the Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee to the MTA. “It’s time to look at everything.”
Andrew Albert, an MTA board member who heads the New York City Transit Riders Council, said, “I don’t know if a few cents would even be felt by most folks. I think we need both [gas tax and congestion pricing] if we want to get the job done adequately and correctly.”
The state collected $1.6 billion in gas-related taxes last year.
But Cuomo and state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins treated the gas-tax hike like a political third rail. Both declined comment.


Catholic Filmmakers Crowd-Fund for Medjugorie Film
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Filmmakers use social media to fund film about Medjugorje
NAPLES, FL (February 4, 2013) - Award winning director Sean Bloomfield and entrepreneur and producer Zaid Jazrawi announced today the launch of The Triumph Film crowd-funding campaign. Utilizing social media the filmmakers hope to fund and promote a new documentary filmed in Medjugorje.
Filmed primarily in the heart of Bosnia-Herzegovina, The Triumph investigates the modern-day miracles of Medjugorje, where apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been occurring since 1981. Sean and Zaid have dedicated the last two years to producing this epic and historical documentary.
The film producers are using an innovative new method to help fund and promote the film. Indiegogo.com is a crowd-funding platform where anyone can help support a project in exchange for incentives also known as “perks.” The perks for supporting the project include everything from a DVD of the film, to a trip to Medjugorje with the filmmakers. The goal is to raise at least $50,000 to finish production and to help launch a marketing campaign for the film.
Only 10 days into the crowd funding campaign and the film has already raised over $10,000. “Our goal is to bring this film to as many people as possible” said producer Zaid Jazrawi. The funding campaign will last until 11:59 pm on March 10, 2013.

For the second week in a row, Pittsburgh Penguins’ captain Sidney Crosby was reportedly named as a part of the NHL’s ‘Three Stars,’ collecting the ‘Second Star’ for his performance this past week – according to the team’s website.
Crosby leads the entire NHL in points (17) and is averaging a point-per-game in the process, which contributed to him earning his second nomination in as many weeks.
Helping Pittsburgh get off to a 7-1-0 start to the season, Crosby registered eight points (2G, 6A) in three games, in which the Pens’ won all of those contests against the Edmonton Oilers, Philadelphia Flyers, and Vancouver Canucks.
Crosby also lead the league in assists (6) and points (8) for this past week.
Off to a otherworldly start to the 2013-14 campaign, Crosby should continue to rack up the ‘Stars’ as the season goes along.

Influence of interspecific plant interactions on the stress response of grassland species in a future climate
19 April 2017
UAntwerpen, Campus Drie Eiken, Promotiezaal Q0.02 - Universiteitsplein 1 - 2610 Antwerpen-Wilrijk (route: UAntwerpen, Campus Drie Eiken
Organization / co-organization:

Ivan Nijs & Dries Bonte
Public defence of the PhD thesis of Mrs. Helena Van De Velde - Faculty of Science - Department of Biology
Wherever they grow, plants are continuously exposed to stress factors of varying nature. Due to the current climate change, these stress factors will in the near future occur under greatly modified atmospheric conditions, with higher CO2 concentrations and higher average air temperatures. This raises the question whether plants will exhibit the same stress response under these conditions. The uncertainty regarding stress responses is even greater in natural, multi-species communities than in single species. In multi-species communities, a future climate can modify the direction and the intensity of species interactions (such as plant-plant interactions). As a result, the direct effects of a future climate on the species-specific stress response might be strengthened or (partly) cancelled out. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the direct and indirect (via altered plant-plant interactions) effects of a future climate on the stress responses of grassland species. We focused on the abiotic stressor drought and the biotic stressor herbivory.
In a first part, we demonstrated that warming aggravated the drought impact of Lolium perenne and elevated CO2 only partly alleviated the stress impact caused by warming and drought. Contrary to what was found with L. perenne, a future climate did not alter the drought response of Plantago lanceolata. Furthermore, we showed that plant-plant interactions did not have an impact on the drought response of L. perenne and P. lanceolata in a future climate. Remarkably, combined warming and drought, with or without elevated CO2 induced higher senescence and mortality of L. perenne long after the drought ended, while no such lagged effects were apparent in the current climate. P. lanceolata also exhibited post-drought lagged effects on senescence and mortality, but only under combined warming and elevated CO2.
In a second part, we showed that a future climate altered the leaf quality and enhanced both the systemic and induced defence system of P. lanceolata against aphids. Notwithstanding these effects of a future climate on the host plant, the host plant did not have an impact on aphid performance. However, under laboratory conditions experimental warming affected aphid performance directly in non-linear manner. Aphids performed best at moderate warming, where they grew faster, had a shorter generation time and grew larger. Nevertheless, a future climate with warming and elevated CO2 did not have direct effects on aphid performance under semi-natural conditions.
Next to these responses of plants and aphids to a future climate, we demonstrated that plant-plant interaction can mediate these species responses. Plant-plant interactions affected aphid performance through an interaction with temperature and influenced the effect of combined warming and elevated CO2 on leaf quality and the defence system of P. lanceolata. We found that interspecific plant competition neutralized the effect of elevated CO2 on the defence molecules of P. lanceolata.

To Take on HBO and Netflix, YouTube had to Rewire Itself
To become a “destination” and keep mobile viewers hooked, YouTube realized it had to fix itself, from its development platform to its AI.
The war over our eyeballs is heating up, and that’s mostly a good thing for people who like to look at screens. Just as Meerkat, Periscope, and Snapchat elbow each other in a battle over appointment viewing, and digitally native companies like Netflix and Hulu duke it out over the future of TV and movies, an old-school competitor shows up and throws down a shiny new gauntlet: Last month, HBO Now launchedjust in time for cord-cutters to catch the debut of the new season of Game of Thrones. There’s never before been such an abundance of quality, readily accessible television fighting for our attention.
YouTube, however, has found itself in this new golden age of video with a serious handicap: While its overall viewership was growing, most of that growth was happening across the web at large, outside of its own site and apps. That made it harder to capture eyes and ad dollars, and to appeal to cherished mobile users. When Susan Wojcicki became CEO last year, she would continue efforts to transform the way it served ads and engaged with its creators, pouring money into certain channels and promoting them heavily.
But there was a more pressing, underlying issue for the video giant: The way it built and tested its code was rusty. The outdated pipes running beneath the world’s largest video site were making it trickier to build the kind of new features that could keep users watching more, rather than browsing over to, say, Netflix or Hulu.
“As a business, it’s kind of a vulnerable situation to be in,” says Cristos Goodrow, a director of engineering at YouTube. “We’re not building as strong of a relationship with viewers. We have very little leverage to try to make the experience better for users.”
So in 2012, the company undertook a massive, cross-department initiative to fix those problems. Code-named InnerTube, the project, which Google has not previously discussed, would tackle everything from its development platform to its machine learning algorithms, a retooling that would enable engineers and designers to more quickly test and craft a more engaging, addictive experience on more screens. “This is a change that we had to make if YouTube was going to continue as an important thing on the Internet,” says Goodrow of the ongoing InnerTube project. “We had to become a destination.” Read more here

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella celebrated Altman’s return to OpenAI on Twitter.
“We are encouraged by the changes to the OpenAI board. We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance,” Nadella tweeted.

Altman’s abrupt firing pushed OpenAI President Greg Brockton to quit in protest. Nadella subsequently offered Altman and Brockton an opportunity to head an artificial intelligence research team at Microsoft.
Nearly all of OpenAI’s staff threatened to quit the company and join the Microsoft AI venture if the board did not dissolve itself and reinstate Altman, according to Reuters.
OpenAI investors indicated Monday, according to Reuters, that they were in the process of seeking legal recourse over Altman’s unexpected firing, arguing that the decision could throw the lucrative startup’s future in jeopardy. The company is expected to receive a valuation of $80 billion.
Altman reportedly returned to OpenAI’s office on Sunday in anticipation of regaining his CEO position when the board surprised him again by appointing ex-Twitch co-Founder Emmett Shear as interim CEO.
“I am deeply pleased by this result, after ~72 very intense hours of work,” Shear posted in response to the news.
Artificial intelligence is considered to be one of the most pressing global issues. White House chief of staff Jeff Zients said that artificial intelligence is one of President Joe Biden’s, “top three issues.” The Biden administration has also hinted at future plans to strongly regulate artificial intelligence.

No worries, this means nothing: Russia's Military Begins Massive Nuclear War Drill
On Thursday, 10,000 Russian troops began a drill simulating the massive use of nuclear missiles.
I'm sure it is simply flexing in the wake of several foreign policy wins in the last few weeks.
Of course - if I'm wrong most of us will never know it...
Here's the link.

DIGEST Protest challenging Coalition Provisional Authority's issuance of licenses for telecommunications services in Iraq is not for consideration under General Accounting Office's bid protest function since the licenses do not involve the provision of property or services to the federal government. In consultation with the Iraqi Ministry of Communications." /1/ The licenses are granted to allow companies to offer wireless communications services to private subscribers for a fee. The authority of our Office to decide bid protests is based on the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (CICA). Our jurisdiction does not turn on whether appropriated funds are involved. The Department of the Army argues that our Office lacks jurisdiction to hear this protest because the CPA is not a "federal agency" and alternatively.

I’m participating in the Top Ten Tuesday posts at The Broke and the Bookish. Books are good. Lists are good. So this should be good (I hope)!
Today’s theme: Favorite book covers of books I’ve read. I tend to like a simple cover the best but color definitely draws me in. I know a lot of people don’t like the cover of The Fault in Our Stars but I love it, it just works.

But, that is like saying that Chryslers unit sales las year grew faster than Hondas. A true statement, but comparing a market leader to a minor player.
Not. This is a continuation of the category of carbonated beverages which started in 1886. The category has evolved, expanded to many methods of preparation, marketing, manufacture, distribution and consumption. The soda stream machine is just another chapter in the story of carbonated beverages. Ironically the story started when Coca Cola was first seen as a benefit to health. It was dispensed at pharmacies. The term for a carbonated beverage in the late 19th century was "tonic" , which is still used in vernacular speech in northern New England. Ironically enough the situation for the consumption of a carbonated beverage is again a health issue in medical journals and among Doctors of internal medicine.
Cherry, you asked me a number of elections ago: Why am I lean/ vote Democrat. Today's issue and position about basic pay and overtime illustrates that. That said, I do wish that members of my "side of the aisle" would be far more active and reaching out to others and seek what is best for America not just what is "best " for an upcoming election. Thanks for your post. It is always interesting and sometimes pleasurable to hear your thoughts.
When the job situation forces a person to seek new employment. My advice, take a good look of where you should seek work. Take a look a the highest income zip code counties, and metro areas. First recommendation metro Washington DC particularly northern Virginia. Google the list of highest income counties in the USA and note how many are in the Washington area. Politicians around the country love to knock " the beltway mentality". but when they leave office they STAY HERE. There is big money to made not working for the federal government...but consulting to the federal government, or working in those fields which serve those high income consultants in the fields of banking, investment, insurance, real estate, catering, restaurants, and political and economic lobby groups. You may not like DC ( the area) but note there is big money to be made here. Note also the big leaders in successful food and general merchandise have numerous locations here, such as Whole Foods, Wegman's, Nordstrom, Tiffany, Pottery Barn, and Starbucks . Starbucks is a measure of where the money is. There are over 200 in this area, including the dozens that are located inside just about every Safeway, Target and on the corner of just about every major / street crossing. Good luck
The soda business will survive for many years primarily in Europe. The changing awareness of diet and the consumption of high levels of sugar, sodium and fat will continue to be the force that will have consumer food products introduced that will take away market share from unhealthy choices. The change will be noted earliest among that segment of population that is highly educated. Thus in the US, the home income zip codes and in Europe in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, and to a far lesser degree in Spain, Portugal, France , Ireland, and the UK. There is will always be a highly profitable segment of the population that chooses to ignore the facts of a poor diet awareness. Take a view of customers coming out the doors of a 7-11, a Dunkin Donuts, Ihop, or McDonald's overweight, more likely than not sloppally dressed reflecting their lack of seeking to excude an image of confidence to others and to themselves. There will be a good profit to made by serving these under educated masses. No one ever went broke catering to poor food habits. The question is just want portion of this food consumption does an investor seek to invest.
Many posters on became involved because they have seen / operated/ opened a soda machine and liked it. I understand that. However the success of soda in the US market depends on many factors. Then influence of eating healthier is in the daily media, discussed by parents groups, medical doctors, school,systems and in corporate offices of food-beverage manufacturers and retailers. Just why so many posters ( not all) fail to grasp that this is the main reason soda shares have dropped and have failed to make a rise to their hopes and expectations. I certainly understand what many of you holders of soda are trying to a achieve. My points are to give you the opposite view that Sodas growth is very questionable, if not limited.
Most every business wants to sell something. Here soda marketing a home carbonation machine. My regular posts are that from my perspective , Soda has not been achieving its goals in the USA. The previous seasons marketing at discounts of the product line on cable and at big box stores shows the product has not been giving retailers a high volume of $ per sq fit of shelf space. And that soda is not in appliance business as it is (IMHO) in the beverage business in the " carbonated segment" ...which is in DECLINE. Evident by the diversion of product line up by KO and PEP. Also by the VERY frequent news stories and articles of diet/high sugar consumption in the media. Today's consumer is VERY aware of avoiding sugars, fats,and sodium.
my point was: we have NOT seen the " total " destruction of our coal industry. Coal consumption was not part of the discussion . To say " total" is akin to a poster who says NO ONE is shopping at ANF, rather than to,say "fewer " shoppers. We live in the era of instant fact checking on google and rolling the video tape to show where not just "errors" have been made, but downright miss truths which the dumbing down of America sees fewer citizens challenging statements than myself would like to see.
another weak day for soda holders. Yet, we all know that some poster will write that a Pepsi buyout is coming ( close or happening ) The realistic comment is to insert the word "not". It will be a MEH day, week and ....month for soda for a LONG time. Brings a topic of discussion for " soda longs" Ok folks, hit my post with a thumbs down...the market will hit share shares with a red arrow today in just a few minutes.
A Safeway may be within 2 miles of many consumers homes, but they will drive by and on 15 miles to shop at a Whole Foods or in the mid Atlantic area to a Wegman's. In upscale zip codes the trip will pass Safeway to drive 5 miles to a Trader Joe's. Accross the nation there are a vey high percentage who line close to a Safeway, Albertson's , or WalMart but haven't been in them for years. The larger family with a high income does a high portion of shopping at Costco combined with a Harris Teeter, Kroger, and the fore mentioned Wegman's and Trader Joes. The management of Ceberious knows this very well. The upper levels of every food retailer and food supplier KNOWS this. In their own individual ways Costco, Wegman's, Whole Foods and Trader Joes ARE the force of focus in food retailing
To cross reference those comments and the loss of 250, 000 jobs , reference by typing into google 1) Leading USA ports coal exports 2) Wyoming coal production 3) BNSF coal shipments. 4) Norfolk coal shipments. There will be plenty of time to reference this today with. major winter storm affecting the region of this boards prominent posters.
that a large amount of SWY holders want out. For a good portion who bought in a few months ago, this is an excellent opportunity to take one's gains and move on. Safeway has far too much to repair at this time for he share price to rise given the buyout story so far.
for every buyer there is a seller who wants "less". In an high demand market the share price tends to increase and therefore with weak demand the share price depends to go lower. And the view is highly influenced by the potential buyers and the current sellers. Today's range really IMHO would not indicate one direction over another.
As some posters have pointed up, and the Bloomberg current news story highlights : Safeway's business has deteriorated to such a degree of having lost market share from it's competitors that the share value is below what was initially offered. For those of you who made visits to see in person what a Safeway unit is compared to a Whole Foods, a Wegman's, or a Kroger/Harris-Teeter you understand. There is media speculation that Safeway will try to take the good reputation of the Safeway Select house brands to model a smaller footage store in the concept of Trader Joe's. Time will tell, but Trader Joe's has a least a decade of headway and now has a wide and loyal customer base in key regional locations.
is the days movement of the Bid and Ask and thus the days results of highs and lows. Mutual funds and institutional holders are generally in for the long term. But as you know the fund managers do some "window dressing " just before quarterly reports so as not to ailianate fund holders with holdings that have held the fund down. Just what the next quarterly report will have on sodas is what speculation is made of. From my perspective as being a follower of the beverage industry is that Pepsi and KO have been seeking to offset serious declines in the carbonated soda segment by expanding waters and snack foods. Soda IMO is only in the declining portion of that overall beverage picture. And so most of you posters so not agree with me. Such makes markets. My posts seek to give points of information to validate my opinion. I have yet to see posts here referencing specific retail locations and the product placement observations of soda products. GL on your view.
Put up your money and place your bets. I would concede this: If one holds soda for the long term ...3 to 7 years, there may be an excellent payoff for soda holders. But, a serious look at the beverage industry would not indicate that for potential investors outside this blog...on the street, is not in the FY 2014
ok, corrected. HSN and QVC are all the same to me. Just channels I surf thru, but understand that they each are substantial influence/force in product distribution. thanks for the correction
IMHO from observing Safeway stores in the mid Atlantic for over 15 years is that they have declined from being in the top 3 food retailers in any specific market. This can be seen by market sales volume surveys and from a series of in person visits to multiple store locations within a marketing area to see first hand the lack of traffic on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon prime hour shopping hour then go down the road and see what the traffic is like at the top 3 retail competitors. To you posters who disagree with me, fine...but get your bottom on the road to SEE a Safeway in person. IF YOU DON'T see you won't see.
The current news headline at this yahoo page for Soda listed as Mötley Fool's : Soda Streams margin woes. This board is filled with cheerleaders for Soda. Yet over the last month the street has failed to see what the the web optimism has been about. Perhaps they can read into the news observations of the 4th quarter just why soda appeared on QVC and has been spotted at mass retailers at discounted prices. I have posted numerous times from my insiders view of the beverage industry that SODA will *not* end a winner in that segment. A buyout from Pepsi will not occur. Thus day after day, and week after week posters on here will taute how a buyout is just hours or days away, and at the end of the trading week...nothing wil happen . ie: check back over comments made here during the last month. The tip (truth) of sodas future will emerge over the next weeks thru the next quarterly report.

Genelec introduces its smallest speaker system to date with the new 8020A (Height with Iso-Pod™ 242 mm, Width 151 mm and Depth 142 mm). The system has been designed for monitoring in difficult listening environments, particularly those compromised by lack of space. However, size is no handicap to performance as the 8020A two-way active monitoring system incorporates Genelec's acoustic design innovations to minimise all forms of distortion.
The 8020A has a die-cast aluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™), which features relatively large internal volumes; softly curved edges and outstanding mechanical strength. As a result, the imaging accuracy and low frequency extension with such a compact enclosure are truly astounding.
The 8020A also incorporates the advanced Directivity Control Waveguide
(DCW™), which provides an amazingly smooth on and off axis response; while the long, curved reflex port ends in a wide flare for excellent bass articulation.
Each monitor features a 105 mm (4 inch) bass driver along with a 19 mm (3/4 inch) tweeter loaded into a new advanced Genelec Directivity Controlled Waveguide (DCW™). The free field frequency response is 66 Hz to 20 kHz (± 2.5 dB). Maximum peak SPL output per pair with music material is 105 dB at 1 m. Bass and treble are each powered by 20 watt amplifiers.
8020A can be combined with the new 7050B
Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE™) subwoofer to provide a powerful, bass-managed and wide bandwidth surround sound monitoring system.
