Working with Jaimie & Vince (& their two fur babies) was a blast! For the first half of their photos, they dressed it up & were sure to include their two furry children.
Then, we were off to the 2nd half of their photos, a color powder paint fight! How fun is that? I was so excited when Jaimie mentioned, that she really wanted to include the color powder into their session. I love when couples include their own ideas into their session, that's what a custom engagement session is all about. Your ideas, your style!
Jaimie & Vince are a wonderful couple. They are both fun & charasmatic. They compliment each other in the perfect way. They both mentioned that this was the first time they had taken photos together (besides the occasional selfie, of course!), so they didn't know what to expect. Honestly though, you would have never known that after seeing them together. They were total naturals in front of the camera 😉 I can hardly wait for their May 2017 wedding at The Springs in New Braunfels.
The light was glorious!
How cute are these two little fur babies?
Those smiles! 😀
Loving these next two black & white photos. Smiles & laughter, that makes a wonderful engagement session.
Powder paint fight! 🙂
These are so fun!
Yes 🙂 Engagement portraits CAN be fun & romantic.
Vince & Jaimie, I loved working with the two of you! I can't wait for your wedding day, it's going to be here by the time we know it! Enjoy your engagement & your new home together 🙂

I recently ran across an organization called the American Tradition Institute. The Sourcewatch piece on them is quite disturbing. Particularly the confidential memo produced by one of their "fellows" that explicitly seeks to "subvert" the wind energy industry. See Excerpt below.
Climate change denial folks are now beginning to cover their tracks as this piece discusses. In particular an organization called Donors Trust is creating "dark money" that is difficult to trace to the donors. It is clear that there is a large systematic effort moving to undermine growth in renewables. This is not surprising given the enormous size of the fossil fuel industry.
The impact of these groups cannot be underestimated. In Massachusetts, the first two wind turbines of the megawatt scale were installed in the town of Hull MA. Complaints were minimal. The larger of these turbines was sited within 500 feet of a residence. Since that time there has emerged a blueprint for systematic destruction of wind turbine projects as has been going on in Kingston MA. A few angry residents have tried to portray it as being plopped into a quiet green leafy suburban neighborhood. In fact the turbine is sited on a landfill in a commercially zoned area with heavy retail such as shopping centers and car dealerships. Between the turbine site and the homes is one of the busiest divided highways in Massachusetts. And yet, a few residents have come close to shutting down the turbine. Among their complaints, noise. Interesting given they live one street away from a divided highway.
As we are nearing a tipping point I imagine we will see ever growing efforts to discredit renewable energy. From community organizations to paid 'trolls' on the Internet, it is a disturbing, though not surprising reaction to the success of renewable energy.

Easy Guide to Drying Flowers
Drying flowers is a fantastic way to preserve beautiful bouquets for many months, even years, to come. A few simple dried flowers placed around a room or house can make great delicate accent pieces. They are also great for crafting – glue a few small springs or dried flower heads to the face of cards or thread a few into the ribbons next time you're gift wrapping.
Although almost every flower can be preserved successfully through drying, some methods work best for particular flowers. Hardier flowers such as roses, hydrangea and statice, as well as flowers on the smaller side, like lavender, will dry best with simple air-drying. You can experiment to figure out which flowers will also do well via this method. Other more delicate flowers can be dried using silica gel, available at most craft stores. Flowers that work best with this method include anemones, pansies and daisies.
Air-drying flowers:
You will need:
• Flowers
• Rubber bands
• Paper clips or clothes hangers
• String
– Gather your flowers in mid-morning, when the dew has already evaporated. Remove any extra foliage from each stack and cut the flowers down to the height you want, making sure to keep them at least 6 inches long.
– Wrap the stalks tightly with a rubber band, in bunches about a half-inch in diameter. Find a cool, dry place to hang your flowers, as exposure to the sun will cause them to lose color.
– Now you'll want to suspend your flowers upside-down from the ceiling or from a rack in an empty closet. There are a number of ways to do this. You can attach a paper-clip to the rubber band and thread the other end to a string or hook hanging from the ceiling. You can also use clothes hangers or string tied to a nail or other protruding object.
– Leave the flowers to dry for about 2-3 weeks, and you're all set with a beautiful and lasting bouquet. Note: you might want to spray them with hairspray to keep them extra fresh looking.
Silica Gel Drying:
You will need:
• Flowers
• Silica gel
• Airtight plastic or glass container (one you won't reuse for food)
Flowers on the delicate side and those which contain lots of moisture won't dry as well with the air drying method. Instead, pick up a bag of silica gel from a craft store and have an airtight container ready.
– You will have to cut your flowers down to about 3 inches tall, as the stems will not dry well with this method. Contrary to what its name would suggest, silica gel is actually sold in a granular or powder form, and can be reused.
– Pour the silica gel into an airtight glass or plastic container until it is an inch thick. Then, place your flowers head-down on top of the silica gel and cover them with another layer of the gel, also about an inch in thickness.
– Seal the container and let sit for up to 5 days, no less than 4.
Notes: the color may change slightly during the drying process. Also, if silica gel is not available, you can use a mixture of equal parts Borax and cornmeal. Since the flowers need to be cut down for this process, you can use florist's wire to give them the height they need for use in arrangements.
Microwave + Silica gel Drying:
You will need:
• Flowers
• Silica gel
• Microwave-safe container with lid (one you won't reuse for food)
• Microwave
This is by far the quickest method to dry your flowers. Flowers that do best with microwave drying include: peonies, hollyhocks, pansies, buttercups and zinnias. Follow the same instructions as those above for Silica gel drying, but do not cover the container. For best results, dry one type of flower at a time, since different types dry faster or slower relative to each other.
– When you've positioned your flowers in the way you desire, microwave on medium heat or at level 4 or 5 for about 2-3 minutes. This is a trial and error process since microwave temperatures vary, so check your flowers after the first few minutes, and if you find that they still haven't dried, give them a minute or two more.
– Once they are fully dry, remove from the microwave and cover them immediately. After about a minute, remove the cover and place it on top of the container so that it is slightly off-center, allow some air in. Let stand for 24 hours.
The great thing about silica gel is that it can be reused many times, so you can perfect the process over the course of your experiment. Note: Use a container that you won't use for food in the future.

Katie's room is almost done, so I thought I would share it with you.
I always thought I would have my nursery done the day after the gender sonogram. BUT, we had our house on the market, so I didn't know where Katie's nursery was going to be. We moved when she was 10 days old. Not optimum decorating time. I got it done, but never LOVED it.
This was at Christmas.
The khaki walls weren't doing it for me.
So I painted them blue and did a faux board and batten treatment on the bottom. Actually Marcus did that part.
This picture is complete with toys and everything! I think I always wanted the walls blue, but felt funny painting a baby girls' room blue. At least her ceiling is pink!
I have a half way done sign that is going under that crown.
And I made the mobile with an old lamp shade frame and some ornaments.
I wanted to get a picture of Katie's crib, so I can remember this time of her blankie and wubbanubs. We have 2, because sometimes she throws them overboard. She only takes a pacifier when she is in her crib and these are the only 2 we have.
That dresser is painted a really pale pink. I need to find something for inside of the 2 pink frames too.

Director Zack Snyder strove to create a Superman that was both relatable and realistic in a modern world, "it's a fine line of re-inventing him, but still seeing him in there." Snyder called on long time collaborator, costume designer Michael Wilkinson to help him create this world and redefine the Superman suit.

Baking doesn't always go to plan, but don't loose hope!!! A lot of the time these errors can be solved. Here are a few top tips to help you get the perfect bake every time!
Mixing is a general term in baking that includes stirring, beating, blending, binding, creaming, whipping and folding. Each mixing method gives a different texture and character to the baked good. The utensil you use will also give a different texture to a mixture and impact on what happens during mixing.
- STIR: This method is the simplest, as it involves mixing all the ingredients together with a utensil, usually a spoon, using a circular motion.
- BEAT: The ingredients are moved vigorously in a back and forth, up and down, and around and around motion until they are smooth. This is done with a spoon or fork. An electric mixer can also be used to beat the ingredients together.
- BLEND: Ingredients are mixed so thoroughly they become one with a handheld or a free standing blender.
- CREAM: Fat and sugar are beaten together with a wooden spoon until they take on a light, airy and fluffy texture.
The amount of time you cream the butter and sugar can determine how light and fluffy a particular baked good is (the more light and fluffy the butter and sugar look the more light and fluffy the final product will be).
- WHIP OR WHISK: Air is incorporated into such foods as whipping cream and egg whites through very vigorous mixing, usually with an electric mixer or balloon whisk.
- FOLD: One ingredient is gently incorporated into another by hand with a large spoon or spatula. It creates little aeration – I tend to do a figure of 8 shape in the bowl with a wooden spatula.
- KNEAD: To fold, turn, and press dough with heel of your hand in order to develop the gluten and make dough more elastic
Tips for making…
- When making cupcakes you want to try and get a flat top cake so that applying your icing is easier and neater. I have found that if you use margarine instead of butter it stops the cakes from 'dome-ing' when baked.
- When making up a muffin mixture, be v.careful not to over mix otherwise the mixture will toughen up and you won't achieve the light, fluffy muffins you want. Lumps and unevenness in the batter is ok – do not try to mix these out (even though it is very tempting!!!) The entire mixing process should not take longer than 20 or 30 seconds.
- Before folding chocolate chips in cake/muffin mixture roughly coat them in some plain flour as this will prevent them sinking to the bottom of the cake when baked.
- If your baking a hemisphere cake then the cooking time will be about 10 minutes longer and remember to set it into a baking ring so it doesn't topple over in the oven.
- Don't be afraid of taking your cookies out because they look a little undone. If you want really soft cookies (Millie's cookie style) then i suggest baking for no more than 8 minutes. Cookies will firm up whilst they are cooling.
- If your making chocolate chip cookies, I tend to add about 5-10g extra choc chips as stated. This is because I like mine extra chunky, but it all depends on opinion.
- If your cake mixture curdles (normally because of ingredients not being at room temp. or eggs are added too quickly) then fear not! Almost always using an electric whisk will bring all the ingredients back together again, use the whisk on a low setting.
- When beating (using a hand/electric whisk) make sure you hold the mixing bowl tilted away from you. The goal in beating is often more than just combining ingredients together, but also to introduce air into the mixture.
- Adding eggs too quickly or adding all the other liquid (milk) to your cake mix at once will cause curdling. Add a small portion of the flour at the start of the mix to help eliminate curdling in mixes with high liquid content. The batter is then mixed slowly until smooth and the flour completely mixed in and wet.
- A white chocolate ganache will not thicken as much as a milk or dark ganache. So use 3/4 parts double-cream and 1/4 part butter to get the thick creamy texture you want.
- Never let leftover buttercream go to waste!! Have a look at my Buttercream Truffles recipe OR freeze it for up to 3 months in a freezable container. To de-frost leave in the fridge to thaw, then before using make sure it is at room temperature.
- If you like your brownies fudgy and not crumbly, remove them from the oven as soon as they begin to crack on top, brownies will cook a little extra when cooling. This will give them that moist chewy centre that you want.

Reliving Your Childhood (Over and Over…)
Much of your parenting experience is a form of reliving your childhood. I am forever going through what my parents did with me; hence many phone calls to my mother apologizing for the things I did as a kid (now that my kids just did the same to me). Of course, much of my parenting experience is going through the same struggles (potty training, puberty, math class) seven times.
Helping Number 3 go over Chemistry Notes:
Frustrated Number 3: How many more math classes will I have to take after High School?
Equally Frustrated Me: That depends entirely on how many children you have.
I love the saying "Practice makes Perfect", but unfortunately, the word "Perfect" can't be applied to parenthood- no matter how many times you relive it.
Past, Present, and Future
While it is important to live in the present, we should also remember what it was like when everything was wonderous, when you were vulnerable in the big wide world, and when you were unsure of your place in the world. Take a moment and identify with your child before disciplining. Take a moment to borrow the joyous wonder of seeing a bug on a flower from your toddler. Take a moment to just sit with your brooding teen and tell them that everything will be okay.
Now that you are reliving your childhood, you have the power to avoid your parent's "mistakes". Grew up an only child, and now you want your child to have siblings? Witnessed the destructiveness of addiction as a child? Vowed that when you had kids, they would be allowed to stay up as late as they want? Of course, now you get to make brand new "mistakes"!
We know our children so well in part because we know ourselves ("You're just like your father" or "You get that from your mother"); use that knowledge to help your child in a way that no one else in the world can. Use that knowledge to strengthen your parent and child bond.
What experiences do you want to re-create for your children? What do you wish you would have known at their age? Drop a few lines in the Comments section below…

Indian PM Modi meeting queen on 2nd day of UK visit
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is meeting Queen Elizabeth on the second day of his high-profile official visit to Britain.
The Indian leader arrived at Buckingham Palace Friday in a Jaguar — the iconic British car brand owned by India's Tata Motors.
Later, Modi will rally thousands of supporters at Wembley Stadium, home to rock concerts and England's national soccer team.
British Prime Minister David Cameron says Modi's visit cements a "modern, dynamic partnership" between the world's fifth-largest economy — Britain — and India, which will soon rank third.
The two countries have announced 9 billion pounds ($14 billion) in business deals during the trip.
Modi has also been met by protests.

Comments¶ An anonymous life of scholar and theologian Philipp Melancthon (1497-1560), issued as one of the many publications of the American Sunday School Union. On the front paste-down in a contemporary hand is written "Hermitage S. School / No 205 / Built & Endowed / by / Gen. Jackson." On the front free endpaper in apparently the same hand is the following notation: "This book was / bought & given by Gen. / And: Jackson to / the S. S. endowed & / built by him at his / plantation 11 miles / from Nashville / Tenn / F. Webber / Nashville, Tenn / June 22/62." ¶ In 1823 Andrew Jackson donated the property and funds for the building of a church near his middle Tennessee plantation, The Hermitage, which was at first called the Ephesus Church, but was later changed to the Hermitage Church in Jackson's honor. The Hermitage Church thrived, as did the Hermitage Plantation, until after Jackson's death when his son, Andrew, Jr., began selling off Hermitage property and buildings to pay for unsuccessful business ventures. By 1858 the Jacksons had abandoned the Hermitage, and during the Civil War services at the Hermitage Church ceased all together. ¶ Mr. Webber's statement that this book was bought and personally given by Andrew Jackson to the Hermitage Church Sunday School cannot be authenticated, but Webber did own other similar American Sunday School Union imprints from the Hermitage Sunday School library (we had one ten years ago), in which he wrote almost identical notations and dated June 22, 1862. There is little doubt that this book is a rare survival from the Sunday School on Jackson's famous plantation. On the title-page Webber has inscribed the book to his daughter, "Rachel E. Webber / from / Her Father."

Company history
Max Dörr GmbH was established in Gemmingen near Heilbronn, Germany, in 1966. It specialises in manufacturing and selling unit load conveyor systems (for use in sectors such as the automotive, packaging and food industries).
As a result of a customer enquiry and subsequent market research, the company developed a cutlery wrapping machine. This machine was first presented as a production-ready product at HOGATEC, the Dusseldorf Hotel and Restaurant Technology Fair in 2000.
The enormous success of the cutlery winding machine led us to establish Thomas Dörr Besteck- und Küchensysteme as a subsidiary of Max Dörr in Sinsheim in 2001. Thomas Dörr also set new standards with the design and construction of a cutlery polishing machine. 2004 saw the launch of a space-saving tabletop model, the TD 3000 cutlery polishing machine, as an example of our constant use of innovative technologies and customer-oriented solutions.

Georgia judges determine child support based primarily on children's reasonable needs, and the parents' combined income. Courts use the Child Support Guidelines to come up with a Basic Child Support Obligation ("BCSO"), which is the starting point for determining a final child support amount. Each parent is generally responsible for a portion of the BCSO based on their share of both parents' combined income. The judge will then make adjustments to the BCSO or a parent's child support obligation based on other factors. Courts consider many factors when calculating child support, including each of the following:
- childcare expenses
- health insurance
- unreimbursed medical expenses
- private school expenses in some cases
- a child's disability
- parents' high income, and
- any other factors that the court deems relevant to child support.
Failure to pay child support according to a court order can result in judge holding a parent in contempt of court. In some cases, failing to financially support a child may also result in criminal charges of "abandonment." As a prominent Georgia judge once explained, "The child eats before the parent eats."
If you need to establish or modify child support, schedule a consultation with Aaron today.

Day 1 / Parallel track: Selection
The different sections of the parallel track will be published in the next two weeks. This track showcased the results, challenges, and lesson learned since 2008 behind the scenes of the project Images for the Future.
A colossal effort in film, photo, video and audio preservation, restoration, digitization and access was illustrated through twenty five 10 minute presentations. Experts from the three collections involved (the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, EYE and the Dutch National Archives) showed examples and discussed specific issues and challenges with the audience.
This track aimed at dissemination, reflection and discussion and it is hoped that this video archive will help fullfil that. It is intended to spark reflection and discussion and the conception of new projects and initiatives.
The first section of 10 minutes presentations in the Parallel track dealt with issues of Selection. Geert Wissink (Sound and Vision) kicked of with a presentation on European tenders and explained the using of tender procedures as tools and their influence on the work process. Margot Knijn (Sound and Vision) talked about the selection of photography; the difficulty of selecting 300.000 negatives out of 1.5 million pieces and the introduction of an innovative web-based tool for selecting 35mm negatives. Valentine Kuypers (Sound and Vision) presented the choices, strategies and problems before and during the project of Images for the future in her talk of selection of audio. Rixt Jonkman closed of with her discoveries made regarding the selection of Nitrate Film during Images for the Future.

Understanding the Dangers of Sequence of Returns
When determining a strategy for withdrawing retirement savings, many people assume that if they don't withdraw any more than their average annual investment returns, their money will last them comfortably throughout retirement. However, this is not always the case.
Taking a stream of income during a bear market can have disastrous results on your ability to maintain income for the next 20-30 years without running out of money. This risk is called sequence of returns. When you begin your retirement income is as important as how much that income amount will be. This is especially important, considering the bull market many of us have enjoyed the last few years and the uncertainty facing us today.
The PDF on the right provides a more thorough explanation of the Sequence of Returns Risk with supporting graphics to better help you understand the dangers of taking retirement income at the wrong time.
Feel free to contact us if you would like more information on how with mitigate the risk of sequence of returns.

UNITED NATIONS — President Obama on Wednesday charted a muscular new course for the United States in a turbulent world, telling the United Nations General Assembly in a bluntly worded speech that the American military would work with allies to dismantle the Islamic State's "network of death" and warning Russia that it would pay for its bullying of Ukraine.
Two days after ordering airstrikes on dozens of militant targets in Syria, Mr. Obama issued a fervent call to arms against the Islamic State — the once-reluctant warrior now apparently resolved to waging a twilight struggle against Islamic extremism for the remainder of his presidency.
"Today, I ask the world to join in this effort," Mr. Obama said, seeking to buttress a global coalition that he said would train and equip troops to fight the group, also known as ISIL, starve it of financial resources, and halt the flow of foreign recruits to its ranks.
"Those who have joined ISIL should leave the battlefield while they can," Mr. Obama said, foreshadowing the blows to come. "For we will not succumb to threats, and we will demonstrate that the future belongs to those who build, not those who destroy." The brutality of the militants, he said, "forces us to look into the heart of darkness."
Even so, Mr. Obama said, the threat from the Islamic State was only the most urgent of an onslaught of global challenges that have given the United States no choice but to take the lead: from resisting Russia's aggression against Ukraine to coordinating a response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa; from brokering a new unity government in Afghanistan to organizing a new campaign to confront climate change.
It was a starkly different president from the one who addressed skeptical world leaders at the General Assembly last year, two weeks after calling off a missile strike on Syria over its use of chemical weapons. In that speech, Mr. Obama offered a shrunken list of American priorities in the Middle East and showed little appetite for the charged rhetoric or interventionist policies of his predecessor, George W. Bush.
Mr. Obama on Wednesday spoke more like a wartime leader, reaffirming his determination to work with other countries but leaving little doubt that the United States would act as the ultimate guarantor of an international order that he said was under acute stress.
As if to underscore his new role, Mr. Obama headed a rare leaders session of the United Nations Security Council, which unanimously passed a resolution requiring countries to pass laws against traveling abroad to join terrorist groups or financing those efforts.
"If there was ever a challenge in our interconnected world that cannot be met by one nation alone, it is this," he said, "terrorists crossing borders and threatening to unleash unspeakable violence."
For all the hardening of Mr. Obama's tone, though, it remained unclear whether the speech represented a fundamental rethinking of his policy or a reluctant response to the threat posed by the Islamic State, brought home for many Americans after the militants posted Internet videos of American hostages who were beheaded.
The strategy he outlined would protect the United States from terrorist threats by crippling the Islamic State and other militants like the Khorasan Group, which was also targeted this week by American airstrikes, and not by trying to transform the societies in which they took root, as did the architects of the Iraq war.
Still, his remarks clearly seemed intended to get past months in which the president appeared visibly conflicted about the proper use of American military force in the Middle East — an ambivalence that opened him to criticism that he was feckless and irresolute.
In addressing the Ukraine crisis, Mr. Obama used his strongest language yet, portraying Russia's incursions as an affront to the principles of the United Nations and promising to levy a cost on President Vladimir V. Putin. He accused Russia of conspiring with Ukrainian separatists to obstruct an investigation into a downed Malaysian jetliner.
"This is a vision of the world in which might makes right," Mr. Obama said, "a world in which one nation's borders can be redrawn by another, and civilized people are not allowed to recover the remains of their loved ones because of the truth that might be revealed."
The 39-minute speech was also notable for what he did not say. Last year, he singled out nuclear negotiations with Iran and Syria's civil war as two of his top priorities in the Middle East. On Wednesday, he mentioned them in only a cursory manner.
Iran, he said, should not let the chance for a nuclear agreement slip by. But he made no reference to Iran's president, Hassan Rouhani, who has made clear he does not want to shake hands with Mr. Obama this week, a gesture long-awaited as a symbol of thawed relations between Iran and the United States. Privately, American officials have expressed deep skepticism about the status of the negotiations with Tehran, and Mr. Obama's subdued remarks suggested he shares that pessimism.
The president also did not single out President Bashar al-Assad of Syria for criticism, as he did last year, over the use of chemical weapons, though he spoke of the brutality of the Assad regime. Mr. Assad has voiced support for the American-led strikes in Syria, and his air force has not interfered with American warplanes entering Syrian airspace.
In a sign of how the fight against the Islamic State has reordered priorities, Mr. Obama pledged to train and equip moderate rebels in Syria — something he long resisted and labeled a fantasy. He repeated calls for a political settlement to end the civil war there, acknowledging that "cynics may argue that such an outcome can never come to pass."
Mr. Obama only fleetingly addressed another of last year's priorities, the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, delivering a mild rebuke to the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "The violence engulfing the region today has made too many Israelis ready to abandon the hard work of peace," he said. "That's something worthy of reflection within Israel," he added, in a line that was not in his prepared text.
With much of the day's focus on the threat from foreign fighters, Mr. Obama took pains to address it. In an echo of the 2009 speech in Cairo that was aimed at the Islamic world, he issued a direct appeal to young Muslims, urging them to resist the blandishments of violent jihadism.
"You come from a great tradition that stands for education, not ignorance; innovation, not destruction; the dignity of life, not murder," Mr. Obama said. "Those who call you away from this path are betraying this tradition, not defending it."
Also in keeping with past practice, he acknowledged that the United States is wrestling its own demons. "In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe," he said, "I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Mo., where a young man was killed, and a community was divided."
The speech was the centerpiece of a hectic three days of diplomacy for Mr. Obama, and he appeared to make strides in broadening the coalition against the Islamic State. On Wednesday, Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain recalled Parliament to meet Friday to vote on joining American-led airstrikes in Iraq.
Mr. Cameron lost a vote in Parliament last year when he sought approval for bombing Syria, alongside the United States, after Mr. Assad's use of chemical weapons. But he told the BBC that these airstrikes were the right thing to do, and he was confident Parliament would support them. "As ever with our country," he said, "when we are threatened in this way, we should not turn away from what needs to be done."
Mr. Obama also met with Iraq's new prime minister, Haider al-Abadi. He praised Mr. Abadi as the right person to heal Iraq's sectarian rifts, and said he "recognizes this is not something that is going to be easy, and it is not going to happen overnight."

"We held several meetings with the telecom companies, but they bluntly refused to pay the charges. After they dig up the roads, the corporation has to bear the cost of restoration. The proposal was passed for generating revenue and recovering restoration charges," said an official.
In the notice, the North Corporation has made it clear that no requests for digging up roads to lay cables would be allowed. "The corporation will not sanction requests unless they start paying the way leave charges," an official said.
Officials from Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) said that they have received the notice and asked Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) to take the final call.
"We have written to DERC to take the final call in consultation with Delhi government as the charges are too high," said TPDDL spokesman.
"According to the first proposal tabled in the meeting, the corporation was expected to earn revenue of nearly Rs 5,000 crore every year at the rate of Rs 75,162 per kilometre. But later, when the charges seemed too high, the proposal was changed. The new plan will give a financial boost to North Corporation by at least Rs 1,000 crore per year from collecting way leave charges," said an official.
The mayor, Ravinder Gupta said, "Delhi government is not in a mood to implement the recommendations of the fourth Delhi Finance Commission and the telecom companies are not ready to follow our order. How we are supposed to deal with the financial crunch?"

Very easy to use. Extremely well fitting around the breast and comfortable. Very efficient at expressing the milk. I've been using mine for nearly a year now and it's been brilliant. Would recommend.
My baby stayed at the hospital for 10 days after delivery, I had to pump the milk so that she gets the nutrients she needed. The electric pump was everything I needed, a savior, a painless process.
I love this product, have been using a manual pump but switched to this and wish I'd done it sooner! So easy to use and takes the hassle out of expressing! Just might take a few goes to see which speed.

What choice of settings does the Lansinoh® Single Electric Pump offer?The Lansinoh® Single Electric Breast Pump was designed to mimic the baby's natural feeding pattern and includes two phases: 'let-down' and 'expression'. The 'let-down' or 'stimulation' phase uses quick and short suction to initiate the milk flow, while the 'expression' phase maximises milk flow through longer, deeper suction. In each of the two phases, mums can also adjust the suction strength, the pump offering a choice of 6 different suction levels.
How can I switch between the let-down and the expression phases?You can easily switch between the 2 phases using the 'phase' toggle button. The breast pump will automatically start in the 'let-down' phase when you switch it on and move onto the 'expression' phase after 2 minutes. If you wish to go back to the 'let-down' phase at any point during the pumping session or if you wish to move onto the 'expression' phase before the 2 minutes are up, you just need to push the 'phase' toggle button.
What settings will the Single Electric Breast Pump default to?The 'let-down' phase lasts for two minutes, unless mum decides to switch to 'expression' phase prior to this by using the 'phase' toggle button. In each phase, the default suction strength is level 1. Mum can then increase the suction level up to 6 to suit her comfort.
Is there an ideal suction setting when using the Lansinoh® Single Electric Breast Pump?Because every woman is different, there is no ideal setting that would fit all mums. We recommend that you use the + and – buttons to find the most comfortable and effective suction setting in each of the two phases – 'let-down' and 'expression'.
Are Lansinoh® Single Electric Breast Pump parts dishwasher safe? Can I use a microwave steam bag?Please Note: Tubing and white pump connector should never be washed or sterilised. All parts, excluding the tubing and pump connector are dishwasher safe though we highly recommend gently hand washing the white valves and diaphragms as they are delicate and can affect the performance of the pump if damaged or torn with vigorous washing or harsh detergents. All parts except for the tubing, white pump connector and breast cushions can be steam-sterilized in a microwave bag according to the manufactures directions for use. Please ensure all pump parts are completely dry prior to use as performance may be affected.
Can I use other pump brand replacement parts with the Lansinoh® Single Electric Breast Pump?The components of the Lansinoh® Single Electric Breast Pump have been specifically developed for our pump to achieve the highest levels of quality and effectiveness. We do not recommend using another pump's replacement parts as this might impact performance. Also, using another pump's parts with our pump would void your warranty.
Does the Single Electric Breast Pump work with batteries?Yes, you can use 6 AA batteries (not included in the pack) to power the pump, or the AC Adapter (included in the pack). We recommend using alkaline batteries only and do not recommend using rechargeable batteries. Please replace all batteries at the same time, do not mix old and new batteries. If batteries are in the pump, but your AC adaptor is in use, the pump will use the AC adaptor to power the pump.
Can I pump directly into the Lansinoh® Breastmilk Storage Bags?Unfortunately you will not be able to pump directly into the Lansinoh® Breastmilk Storage Bags because they have a double zipper closure and therefore will not fit securely on the pump.
Is the Lansinoh® Single Electric Breast Pump a closed system?Yes, all our electric pumps are a closed, hygienic system. By using a specially-designed diaphragm and diaphragm cap, the pump is guaranteed to prevent milk from backing up into the tubing and into the motor unit. This is important from a hygienic perspective (condensation and/or milk in tubing can cause mould and bacteria growth and buildup) and from a perspective of understanding how important every drop of your milk is to you and your breastfed baby.
What if I accidentally wash the tubing — can it still be used?Our closed system means that the tubing does not need to be washed because the expressed milk does not come into contact with the tubing. If you accidentally wash the tubing, you can disconnect the tubing from the diaphragm cap and run the pump for a few minutes to see if the air from the base eliminates any condensation that may be inside. If you notice any remaining condensation or anything that may be mould, you will need to discard the tubing and contact our customer service team to get new tubing.
How do I know when to stop expressing?When you are nearing the end of a pumping session, the streams of your milk will begin to slow or stop and/or your breasts will feel softer and less full. A breast is never truly "empty," but it will be apparent with these clues that your body has released as much milk as it will at that particular session and you can stop expressing.
What is the warranty for the Lansinoh® Single Electric Breast Pump?The warranty for the Lansinoh® Single Electric Breast Pump is one year from the date of the original purchase or receipt. If you encounter any issues during this period, please contact our customer service team who will be able to help with any troubleshooting and provide spare parts.
Where can I get replacement parts?Should you require any replacement parts for any of the Lansinoh® Breast Pumps, please contact our Customer Service team at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 0113 205 4201.

Our houses utilize a large amount of power. It's required for cooking food, lighting, operating home appliances, cooling and heating, and pleasant warm showers. However, just how much are you utilizing, and what are the most useful methods to be energy-efficient and lower your power bills? Having an energy efficient house give good value to your home and attract more buyers if you plan to sell the house.
Here are a few useful economical ideas and tips that will help you save all year round and improve the energy efficiency of your house. Your power costs for cooling and heating rely on which kind of system you've got, the way you use it, as well as your local climate. On the average, homes use 38% of their overall energy usage on cooling and heating.
Here are a few methods to reduce your energy bill:
Ensure that your house is properly insulated. Roofing insulation can help you save up to 45% on your cooling and heating expenses. Exterior wall insulating material as well as setting up high insulation home windows will additionally boost energy savings.
Draughts from inadequately closed windows and doors can take into account as much as 25% of heat loss. Employ draught stripping to improperly fitted doors and windows to reduce heat loss.
Keep all entrance doors shut to unused areas unless of course your heating or cooling system needs windows or doors to be opened.
Household warm water makes up about 25% of home electrical energy utilization normally. This can vary based upon where you reside.
Here are a few ideas and applications less energy:
Showers are often accountable for nearly all warm water usage in the house. Converting from a high flow ineffective showerhead to a 3 star rated showerhead can help to eliminate this use by half.
The less warm water you use taking a shower or bathing, the less you have to heat. A short (four minute) bath is a great shower and a good bath is one you might have only occasionally!Make sure to turn your warm water unit off if you are going away for a longer timeframe in order to save wasting energy sustaining set thermostat temperatures.
Use of Lightings
Being energy-efficient with your lighting doesn't mean residing in the dark. You don't have to use candles for lightings. By simply reducing the usage can offer you savings.
Switch off lights when not being used. Save over 500 kWh of electricity each year by simply changing six 75 Watt incandescent bulbs for 14 Watt energy-efficient compact phosphorescent globes (used 4 hours/night) and make use of fluorescent lighting whenever we can in your house.
When changing current incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents, get one of several bulbs you need to compensate for you when you go to your lighting store to get the proper wattage, connection and sizing.
Thoroughly clean table lamps and shades frequently for much better lighting.
Appliances Energy Usage
Current in-home research has shown the typical household has nearly 70 plug-in appliances, numerous consuming energy while executing no function more often than not. This standing by energy is approximated to take into account up to 9% of your home's energy consumption!
You may be amazed at the levels of energy your appliances are utilizing simply because they are connected. You might find these details in your appliance manuals.
Switch off unused appliances at the energy point and conserve to 800 kWh of electricity each year.
Renewable Energy
A huge number of homes are now using renewable energy to get savings on their electric bills. It's a more efficient, safe and eco-friendly way to get electricity. According to a survey, many buyers prefer a house with energy saving features. A house with energy saving system will attract a lot of buyers and will add to the value of the house.

2012 has been an excellent year for me. Let's recap.
The Institute of Morphoid Research at the Art Gallery of Calgary – This was an amazing opportunity. I showed some of the Morphoids in cages, and my 'documentary,' Morphopodia. As an entertaining aside, a friend of mine has a young son who reports having made Morphoid environments in the AGC school when visiting the gallery. It's, and I quote, "a triceratops with feathers on it's butt," who eats eyeballs and seashells.
The AGC Artist Talk – I did a Q&A Style artist talk on December 6th, about my exhibition. It was actually a lot of fun. I quite enjoyed the Q&A style, as it was less formal, meant less prep work for me, and therefore was less stressful to prepare for. I was excited about it, but not too worried about it, because there's no subject I know more about than my work.
The New Alberta Contemporaries (at The Esker Foundation) – I felt very privileged to be a part of this exhibition- it was the first exhibition at the Esker Foundation, made up of 44 artists, recent graduates of the 4 schools in Alberta granting arts degrees (ACAD, the University of Calgary, the University of Alberta, and the University of Lethbridge). I also particularly enjoyed the opening, where I had an animatronic bacteriophage that I used to draw people into conversation with me. (The looks on their faces were priceless….)
The Bacteriophage Dissection – This was a time intensive project, right from the beginning. In 2011, in the St[art] Residency, I starting building Morphoid innards. It took quite a lot of thought and studio time to develop the structure for the insides and the Dissection. (Come to think of it, I still need to 'explain' everything from that…)
Meet the Morphoids, my show at the Untitled Arts Society, is where I started on the informational panel idea. I have also used this in the AGC show, and will likely use more in the future.
I've been working for the Alberta Society of Artists as their Artistic Coordinator since January 2012. I've learned a ton, met a lot of interesting and wonderful artists, and have worked on quite a few interesting projects.
Also of note this year, is doing the cover of the Hanna History Book and the Centennial (and drinking with my mother and other people in the cemetery), and the launching of the IMR Gift shop.
Up soon (hopefully), goals for 2013!

Chronic Pain & Disease Management
Care for Seniors Living with Chronic Pain or Disease
Country Place Senior Living offers Assisted Living for residents requiring support with the activities of daily living, but we can also provide help with more involved care needs such as chronic pain or disease management.
Pain management
When people are in pain, they may find it difficult to enjoy what would normally be happy experiences. Effective pain management is a crucial component in caring for our residents because chronic pain can affect every aspect of a senior's life.
More than 34% of seniors report that they suffer from daily pain, according to a survey cited by The American Chronic Pain Association. Another 12% of those asked said they experience pain on a weekly basis. Ever-increasing pain in the bodies of our elderly population is often considered an unavoidable part of the aging process, but discomfort is not a problem that should be tolerated or ignored. With proper pain prevention and treatment, our residents continue to live dignified and productive lives at Country Place Senior Living.
Disease management
Seniors living with chronic illnesses are in good hands with our experienced and compassionate care team. Chronic illness comes in many forms: from residents living with high blood pressure, diabetes or osteoporosis to Parkinson's disease and cancer. With the proper pain and disease management, our residents continue to live productive, dignified lives.
We support our residents in daily living and can provide assistance in disease management for those impacted by chronic illnesses, making life just a bit easier.
Chronic diseases can have a profound impact on the health and quality of life of seniors, as well as their families. When an older person is diagnosed with a chronic condition, they fear losing their freedom and independence. However, if managed properly, people can continue to live a fulfilling life with chronic illness.
At Country Place Senior Living, we work with our residents daily to achieve the best quality of life through smart, effective pain and disease management.
Individuals requiring pain management following a hospital stay, or those with chronic pain conditions, receive well-balanced, professional care at Country Place Senior Living's modern, well-equipped Assisted Living facilities. Our fully-trained nursing professionals are equipped to manage these conditions and provide for the personalized needs of every resident.
Pain and disease management is the key to staying engaged with the people around you and leads to healthier, longer lives.
Knowing that your loved one is well cared for at Country Place Senior Living gives you peace of mind. Contact us today to learn more.

text: Open/Close All Trees are among the most popular symbols in the United States and Canada. Every state has a state tree; three have two official trees. All but two of Canada's thirteen provinces and territories now have official trees as well. Note: This page doesn't link to any state or tree pages. If you want to learn more about a particular tree or state, please find the links on the associated reference page, U.S. & Canadian Tree Symbols. Origins Some state trees started the climb to fame long before the United States even existed. For example, Maine's pine tree was depicted on the state seal more than a century before it was adopted as the state tree. South Carolina adopted the sabal palmetto because of the role it played in a battle in the Revolutionary war. But few people thought about adopting plants as state symbols until 1893. That was the year the World's Fair was held in Chicago. States and territories were encouraged to adopt official flowers to represent them at the Fair. Soon, everyone wanted an official flower. However, Illinoians weren't content with just a state flower. In 1908, the "native oak" was proclaimed Illinois' state tree, though it was changed to white oak in 1973. Texas chose a state tree in 1919. In 1931, Indiana and Pennsylvania each adopted a state tree. After that, the pace picked up. Like some other territories, Alaska and Hawaii adopted official trees even before they became states in 1959. Soon every state had an official tree. Many official flowers had been promoted by state and territorial state women's clubs, which were popular in those days. Women's clubs were also instrumental in the adoption of many state trees. But men also got in on the act. Some state trees were chosen by school children, sometimes after statewide votes. Some states later changed their minds and chose different state trees. A few states adopted two official trees. Canadian Trees Canada's first official tree was adopted by Ontario in 1984, its 200th birthday. Alberta adopted its provincial tree later that same year. But provincial trees really blossomed in 1987, Canada's 120th birthday. To celebrate, Forestry Associations in various provinces and territories organized votes for official trees. Five provinces adopted official trees that year. Three provinces and the Northwest Territories adopted official trees soon after 1987. Today, it appears that the Yukon Territory and the newly created Nunavut are alone without official trees. Tree Values Trees are among the most important of "ecosymbols." They provide lumber for building material, furniture, fence posts, telephone poles, fuel, and other uses. Trees produce fruit, nuts, and seeds that feed people and wildlife alike. Trees also have tremendous esthetic value. Many trees are considered beautiful, especially those that produce flowers or whose leaves change colors in fall. On the nearly treeless Great Plains, few sights were more beautiful than a lone cottonwood. Pioneer farmers especially appreciated trees for the protection they offered from sun and wind. The importance of trees is indicated by the myriad symbols they have inspired. Some states have adopted arboreal flowers, fruits, and nuts as state symbols. Trees are depicted on many state seals, coats-of-arms, and flags. Arbor Day No other group of state or provincial symbols are honored with holidays as are trees. It all started in the central Great Plains, where Nebraska observed the first Arbor Day on April 10, 1872. Nine years later, Nebraskans declared Arbor Day an official holiday, to be celebrated on April 22. Today, Arbor Day (or Week) is observed by all fifty states and most, if not all, of Canada's provinces. (However, the dates vary widely.) But why wait for arbor day to enjoy trees? State & Provincial Tree Highlights Most Popular State & Provincial Trees Four states adopted the sugar maple (Acer saccharum): Vermont, New York, West Virginia and Wisconsin Three states and/or provinces adopted the... eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) – Maine, Michigan, & Ontario Pine Tree State, and on the seal and flag of Vermont. Moreover, a pine was depicted on what some people regard as the first American flag.) flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) – Missouri & Virginia (The dogwood is also New Jersey's official "memorial tree." Moreover, the dogwood blossom was adopted as Virginia's state flower.) tulip tree (or tulip poplar, yellow poplar) (Liriodendron tulipifera) – Indiana, Kentucky & Tennessee (The tulip poplar has also represented other states and has been a leading candidate in state tree elections.) white oak (Quercus alba) – Connecticut, Maryland & Illinois Two states and/or provinces adopted the... white spruce (Picea glauca) – Manitoba & South Dakota (South Dakota's state tree is a white spruce subspecies known as the Black Hills spruce, Picea glauca densata.) (Colorado) blue spruce (Picea Pungens) – Colorado & Utah white birch (Betula papyrifera) – New Hampshire & Saskatchewan American elm (Ulmus americana) – Massachusetts & North Dakota sabal palmetto (Sabal palmetto) – South Carolina & Florida Most Popular Genera white pine #1 The most popular tree genus is pinus (Pines), which represent thirteen states and provinces, as follows: • eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) – Maine, Michigan, and Ontario • western white pine (Pinus monticolae) – Idaho • lodgepole pine (Pinus latifolia) – Alberta • jack pine (Pinus banksiana) – Northwest Territories • red or Norway pine (Pinus resinosa) – Minnesota • ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) – Montana • pinon (Pinus edulis) – New Mexico • single-leaf pinon (Pinus monophylla) & bristlecone pine (Pinus aristata) – Nevada • "southern pines" – Alabama, Arkansas, and North Carolina (Alabama adopted the "southern pine," Arkansas the "pine," and North Carolina the "pine tree." Alabama's promoter meant the longleaf pine, Pinus palustris, which was finally designated the official state tree in 1997. The shortleaf pine, Pinus echinata, has the widest distribution in North Carolina. The shortleaf pine and loblolly pine, Pinus taeda, are most abundant in Arkansas.) #2 Oaks (genus Quercus) represent six states, one province, and the District of Columbia. • white oak (Quercus alba) – Connecticut, Maryland & Illinois • (northern?) red oak (Quercus rubra) – Prince Edward Island • red oak (Quercus borealis) – New Jersey • scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea) – District of Columbia • live oak (Quercus virginiana) – Georgia • "oak" – Iowa #3 Spruces (Picea) represent seven states and provinces. • white spruce (Picea glauca, pictured on the left) – Manitoba & South Dakota • (Colorado) blue spruce (Picea pungens) – Colorado & Utah • Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) – Alaska • red spruce (Picea rubens) – Nova Scotia • black spruce (Picea mariana) – Newfoundland sugar maple leaf #4 Maples (acer) represent five states: • sugar maple (Acer saccharum) – Vermont, New York, West Virginia & Wisconsin • red maple (Acer rubrum) – Rhode Island • The maple leaf is also Canada's national emblem! eastern cottonwood #5 Cottonwoods and Aspens (Populus) represent four jurisdictions: • cottonwood (Populus; any species) – Kansas • eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) – Nebraska • plains cottonwood (Populus sargentii) – Wyoming • trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) – Northwest Territories Honorable mention also goes to the dogwoods (Cornus), which serve as the state trees of New Jersey, Virginia, and Missouri and the state flowers of Virginia and British Columbia. Hardwoods versus Evergreens • Thirty-two states and provinces adopted deciduous trees, or hardwoods. (These include twenty species and two general designations, Ohio's "buckeye" and Illinois' "oak." This doesn't include Canada's national tree or the official tree of the District of Columbia, both of which are maples.) • Twenty-seven states and provinces adopted conifers, or evergreens. (These include twenty species and three general "pine" designations by North Carolina, Arkansas, and South Carolina.) • Two state trees are palms (both the sabal palmetto). • Arizona's paloverde is in a class by itself. Official conifers are most common in the North (Alaska, nine of Canada's provinces and territories, and several states bordering Canada) and the western states. Conifers also represent South Dakota and four states in the South. Hardwoods are most common in the East, Midwest, and Great Plains. The South is most diverse, with several official hardwoods, four conifers, and two palms. (The figures above include both state trees of New Jersey, Nevada, and California. The broad designations of Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas, and North Carolina were counted as one state tree each. The figures do not include trees that were adopted as state flowers, fruit, nuts, etc.) What's in a name? State trees with especially appropriate names include the Kentucky coffeetree, Colorado blue spruce, and Black Hills spruce. Arboreal Nicknames Maine is nicknamed the Pine Tree State, Ohio the Buckeye State, South Carolina the Palmetto State, and Mississippi the Magnolia State. Washington is nicknamed the Evergreen State for its vast forests. Vermont is nicknamed the Green Mountain State for its forested hills. North Carolina is nicknamed the Tar Heel State. The name was inspired by tar, pitch, and turpentine, which are derived from trees. Rhode Island is nicknamed the Plantation State for its real name, The State of Rhode Island and Providence plantations. On April 4, 1895, Nebraska adopted The Tree Planters' State as its official nickname. The nickname recalled the millions of trees planted by pioneers and the first Arbor Day, observed by Nebraska in 1872. In 1945, Nebraska's nickname was changed to the Cornhusker State. States nicknamed for fruit that grow on trees are Florida (the Orange State) and Georgia (the Peach State). Beyond Nicknames Two states were actually named for trees. Vermont takes its name from the French words mont vert or "green mountains," for its forested hills. (The state should really be named Vertmont; Vermont translates as "green worms!") The name Pennsylvania was created by combining "Penn" (for William Penn) with sylvan, Latin for "woods," or "forest." Literally, it means "Penn's woods." More State Tree Facts Exotic Trees Several introduced flowers, birds, and domestic mammals have been adopted as state symbols. But the only state tree that isn't a native species is Mississippi's magnolia. (Texas' official shrub, the crape myrtle, is also an introduced species.) Prehistoric Trees Petrified wood is an official symbol of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, Washington, North Dakota and Alberta. Louisiana and Texas specify petrified palmwood. Arizona adopted wood from a specific species of prehistoric tree. North Dakota adopted petrified wood with holes bored by prehistoric "shipworms." Biggest & Tiniest The largest state trees are California's redwoods. I haven't yet determined the smallest. But I would guess it's a pretty close race between the Northwest Territories' jack pine, dogwoods, and magnolias. do you know? Oldest Nevada's bristlecone pine can live nearly 5,000 years! The Wettest? Louisiana's swamp-loving baldcypress wins by a landslide...er, waterslide! Most Restricted Hawaii's kukui is native only to Hawaii. It's the only state tree that grows naturally in just one state. Northerner The official tree that grows the farthest north is the Northwest Territories' jack pine. at least, I think so! Fruity Symbols Georgia and South Carolina adopted the peach as their official fruit. New York, West Virginia, and Washington adopted the apple. Florida calls orange juice its official beverage. Nutty Symbols Alabama adopted the pecan as its state nut. The walnut is the official nut of Missouri. Oregon adopted the hazelnut. However, Georgia's peanut doesn't grow on trees. Arboreal Flowers Arboreal blossoms that have been adopted as state or provincial flowers include the peach (Delaware), orange (Florida), apple (Michigan and Arkansas), magnolia (Mississippi and Louisiana), camellia (Alabama), and dogwood (Virginia and British Columbia). Oklahoma's state "flower," mistletoe, is actually an arboreal parasite! Maine's state "flower" is the "pine cone and tassel." Flag Masters Trees, or their leaves, are depicted on a number of flags. The most prominent are Maine's eastern white pine, South Carolina's palmetto, and Prince Edward Island's oaks. The green background on Washington's flag represents the Evergreen State's forests. Trees are also depicted on numerous state seals and coats-of-arms. The cottonwood is particularly prominent on emblems from the Great Plains and neighboring Midwestern states. Canada's Northwest Territories even depicts the northern treeline on its coat-of-arms. Famous Trees State trees that were adopted because of famous individual trees include Maryland's white oak (inspired by the Wye Oak) and Connecticut's white oak (inspired by the Charter Oak). However, it isn't likely that you'll be seeing the Charter Oak on the silver screen; a storm toppled it. Tree Crazy New Jersey, Nevada, and California each have two official trees. Several states have adopted arboreal blossoms, fruits, nuts, or petrified wood in addition to their state trees. But Maine may be the premier tree maniac. What other state would call itself the pine tree state, display its state tree on its flag and seal, adopt a pine cone as a state flower, and even mention its state tree in its state song? By the way, the first official arboreal symbol was Oklahoma's state "flower," mistletoe. Depending on who you talk to, it was either the first or the second state flower. Of course, state flowers led to state trees. The record years for adopting trees were... 1947 – Seven state trees were adopted by New Hampshire, Connecticut, Tennessee, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Washington. 1949 – Six trees were adopted by Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Alabama, Montana and New Mexico. 1987 – Six trees were adopted by Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, British Columbia and Nevada. 1939 – Five trees were adopted by Delaware, South Carolina, Arkansas, Colorado and Oregon. 1937 – Five trees were adopted by Georgia, Kansas, Oklahoma and California (which adopted two state trees). 1953 – Four trees were adopted by Florida, Ohio, Minnesota and Nevada.
