Clifton IRS Audit Defense
As a taxpayer, it is very daunting to think about doing business with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), especially if you are filing your taxes and other financial records. If you get a letter from them, you might immediately panic because of the no-nonsense actions done by the agency against taxpayers who have committed tax offenses.
But, if you find yourself getting a notice from the IRS, especially for an audit, you shouldn't panic. The IRS does these audits to ensure that you have done your taxes correctly and wish to clarify with you if they see any questionable entries on your records. To give you peace, you can seek the help of a legal team to help you prepare and sort out the issues that may be discovered during the audit.
If you are scheduled to undergo an audit, don't hesitate to contact Defense Tax Partners's Clifton IRS audit defense team to assist you. Our team will help you review your financial records and explain the audit process, so you'll know what to expect as it proceeds. We will also represent you during the audits and negotiate with the IRS to resolve the issues that arise after the audit.
Call Defense Tax Partners today at (720) 923-8636 for your Free Consultation with a Clifton IRS Audit Defense Lawyer!
What is an IRS Tax Audit?
The IRS does tax audits regularly to determine if a taxpayer files their tax returns correctly and there are no issues in their financial records. The financial documents of each taxpayer included in the audit will be subjected to various methods, like computer analysis or a close review done by an IRS agent.
If you are included in the IRS audit, our Clifton IRS audit defense team can help you prepare and stand by you during the audit process.
The IRS can conduct the audits through the following methods:
Correspondence audits begin with the IRS sending a request letter to the taxpayer, listing the required documents the taxpayer needs to present to the agency. The documents will be reviewed by the IRS agent to check if there are issues in the returns. During this audit, the taxpayer's medical expenses, charity contributions, and miscellaneous expenses are reviewed.
Office audits happen in one of the IRS's branches across the state. The IRS will notify the taxpayer about the time and date of their audit, as well as the documents they need to bring. If you are unable to attend the audit at the given time, the taxpayer may ask for a reschedule.
During the office audit, the IRS agent will check the documents you will bring and evaluate them. Medical expenses, business expenses, rental income and expenses, and interest expenses will be checked.
Field examinations are done by revenue agents who will visit your office or home to check your taxes and examine your assets. This type of IRS audit is usually ordered for returns that have errors that require closer investigation. The IRS will send a letter or call the taxpayer for the scheduled visit and inform them about what documents to prepare. Taxpayers may request an examination location transfer if they cannot commit to a field examination.

Red eared sliders are semi aquatic turtles that are very commonly kept as pets. Unfortunately, lack of understanding what they require means that many red eared sliders have died from improper care. While they are not overly demanding as pets, many unsuspecting owners have been told that it was fine to keep them in small plastic bowls. Needless to say this housing is completely inadequate and impractical - turtle owners need to invest a fair amount in the proper equipment to house red eared sliders. Once housed properly they are quite easy to care for, and with the proper care these turtles can live 75 years or more, so turtle ownership is not a commitment to be taken lightly. A full grown red eared slider can reach 12 inches in length (measured as the carapace, or top shell, length). Males tend to be smaller than females, but have large claws on the front legs and longer tails than females.
In the US, sale of red eared sliders under 4 inches in length have been banned since the 1970s. The ban was a result of the prevalence of Salmonella infections linked to pet turtles. Baby turtles were very popular as pets for small children, mostly because a lot of people did not realize the cute tiny turtles sold in pet stores could carry Salmonella or that they could grow so large.
Red eared sliders are omnivores, meaning they eat a mixture of animal and plant material. Younger turtles eat more animal protein than adults, though. Juveniles should be fed daily, but adults can be fed every 2-3 days. Turtles can be fed a mixture of prepared commercial food and fresh food. Special food formulated for turtles can be used, but this should not make up any more than 25% of the total diet. Another 25% of the diet should be made up of animal protein, and can include live feeder fish, earthworms, crickets, waxworms, cooked chicken or lean beef, and aquatic snails. Young turtles can be feed smaller feeder items such as blood worms, shrimp, dapnia and krill. The remainder of the diet (up to about 60% of the adult diet) should be made up of fresh greens, vegetable, and fruits. Good choices for greens include collard, mustard and dandelion greens, butter lettuce and other leaf lettuces (but never iceberg lettuce). Carrots (tops are fine too), squash and green beans can be shredded and offered. Fresh fruits can be given too, shredding hard fruit like apples and chopping softer fruits such as bananas and berries. Cantaloupe can be given with the rind on as turtles seem to enjoy gnawing on the rinds.
Vitamins & Minerals
A good quality complete reptile vitamin and mineral supplement should be added to the food once or twice a week. In addition, extra calcium can be provided by giving turtles a cuttlebone (break into pieces and float in the water) or calcium block to nibble on.
Red eared slider turtles are semi-aquatic and spend a significant amount of time basking, so need a tank that provides both water for swimming and area where they can get out for basking. A 20 gallon tank is considered a minimum, though larger turtles will need a larger tank to provide ample swimming room so even if you have a smaller turtle you might want to invest in a larger tank to allow room to grow. You do not need to use an aquarium though - large plastic containers or storage tubs are fine as long as you don't mind not being able to view the turtles from the side. As long as the tank is tall enough and the basking area is positioned so that the turtles can't climb out you won't need a lid.
The basking area can be provided by stacking smooth rocks, sloping smooth large gravel to one side to make a land area, or using wood (fixed or floating). However you design the tank though, keep in mind that turtles are messy and you will need to clean the tank frequently. No gravel is required in the tank but if you choose to use it make sure it is large enough that it won't be accidentally eaten.
Water & Filters
Red eared sliders need an adequate amount of water to move about and swim a bit. You can judge if there is enough water by looking at the length of your turtle. The water should be at least 1.5 to 2 times as deep as your turtle is long (so a 4 inch turtle should have a minimum depth of 6 inches). The length of the water area should be 4-5 times the length of the turtle, and the width should be at least 2-3 times the length of the turtle.
Between feeding and defecating, turtles are pretty messy creatures. A turtle tank should include a good filtration system such as a power filter or canister filter, or an undergravel filter system. Filtration will reduce the frequency of water changes, but your turtles will still require 25% water changes weekly and a thorough cleaning once a month or more. It is best to feed your turtle in a separate container to minimize the mess in the tank and reduce the load on the filtration system.
A submersible heater should be used to keep the water at 75-86 degrees F. Get a good aquarium thermometer and monitor the water temperature. Turtles will want to investigate the heater so it is best if you can turtle proof it by placing it behind something so the turtles can't bump or move it.
A heated basking spot should also be provided in the area provided for the turtle to get out of the water. An incandescent bulb or spotlight can serve this purpose, but make sure there is no way the turtle can touch the light or that the light can fall into the water. The temperature at the basking spot should be 85-88 F. Watch the water temperature when the basking light is on as it may heat the water.
The ambient air temperature around the tank should ideally be about 75 F. If the turtle's room is cooler than this you should provide extra heat in the tank area. A ceramic heat element used near the tank works well for this purpose since it can be left on day and night.
In addition to the basking light, a full spectrum reptile UVA/UVB light should be provided. Exposure to UVA/UVB is necessary for proper calcium metabolism, and also appears to have other benefits to overall health such as improving appetite. It is also nice to take your turtle out into natural sunlight in warmer weather.

These placemats are just so much fun to make!
I hope you'll sew up some too!
Here is the tutorial for making a single
placemat and a potholder made in a very
similar way. As usual, seam allowance is 0.25"
unless otherwise noted. Here we go!
Cut out 26 pieces of fabric pieces, each measuring
1.5" x 3.5". I cut out 4 pieces from 6 different
fabric and 2 pieces from the interesting fabric.
Lay out the pieces of fabric to come up
with 2 sets of panels made with 13 pieces.
Sew them together.
Press seams open.
Now it's nicely flat!
Repeat the same process for the
other 13 pieces.
Cut out 13.5" x 13.5" square from white Kona.
Sew the patchwork panels to the sides.
Press seam open again.
Cut out a piece of cotton batting a bit larger
than the top panel, then cut out a piece
from the same Kona white even larger than
the cotton batting.
Use quilter's basting spray to make
the sandwich nicely attached to each other.
(It's not necessary to use this spray,
but it will make quilting process
about ten times easier.
Now using a water-soluble pen,
draw one line like this in the
center of the placemat.
Just one line should be good enough ;)
Quilting time ;)
I like to start from here to secure the edges.
Then I sew very close to the edge
on the side. I repeat the same process
for the other side.
Then start quilting from the very middle
where you drew a line.
From there, go towards left and right
making parallel quilting lines.
After quilting all the way to the
sides, trim excess.
It looks much better now ;)
Now let's make a binding tape.
You can purchase already-made one
from a local craft store, but if you'd
rather make it on your own, then follow me :D
Cut out 4 strips measuring 20" x 2" each.
Now we'll sew the strips together.
Draw a diagonal line at the edge of one strip.
Sew along the line.
Trim the excess. Repeat the same process
to create one long binding tape.
Press seam open.
Press to make a fold at one end.
Now fold the tape in half and press.
Yay! It's time to attach the binding
onto the placemat. We'll start from the end
that is folded. Align the raw edge of
the tape to the edge of the placemat and
start sewing.
When you are about a few inches from a corner,
stop there and use a ruler and a pencil to
draw a line at 0.25" from the edge.
Stop at the line and back-stitch.
Now fold the tape like this.
And fold like this, making a folded triangle inside.
Then sew from the very top edge.
Do this for the rest of corners too.
When you are almost done with sewing the
bias tape on to the placemat, make sure to
sew about 0.25" on top of the part that you
started then trim excess.
It should look like this now.
I really like the look of binding tape
attached by hand, so I prefer hand-sewing
in this process. You might need to sew it
on using a machine if you are working on
last minute gifts because hand-sewing could
take some time, although it's fun.
Just like this, as I go along, I make sure
to cover up the stitching line.
This is how the corner on the back should look like.
Then you're done :D Hooray!!
Do you happen to feel like making a little
version of it? Maybe a potholder?
I cut out 6 pieces of fabric measuring 2.5" x 1.5"
each and one piece of Kona white of 6.5" square.
I used pretty much the same method throughout
except that I added a little string and
replaced cotton batting with heat-resistant batting.
(I needed 4 strips of pieces measuring 2" x 9"
to make a binding tape for this.)
I like this as much as those placemats :D
Thank you so much for reading such a long post!
I hope you'll make something using this tute
and share your creations in the flickr pool!
Now I can't wait to see yours!!
Have a great crafty day!

Although this OG method is still going strong, a whole new wave of style "bloggers" are upsetting the system by ditching the website entirely and focusing solely on social media. Not to be confused with DJs, models, fashion editors, or It Girls (who occupy an entirely separate sphere of Insta-fame), they have built their numbers gradually and from the ground up. Thanks to their unique aesthetics, and that je ne sais quoi quality that makes thousands of people click «follow,» they represent a new kind of grassroots celebrity-making movement that is proving to have just as much value as traditional web publishing.
Unlike most bloggers, who start their sites as a way to post daily outfits, these girls' massive followings didn't originate from #OOTDs. L.A.-based Instagrammer Whitney Cox of @whitneybearr remembers: "Originally, I wasn't posting style pictures — it was just pictures of my cat and selfies with my friends. But, I started posting pictures of my daily outfits, and friends and colleagues really liked what I was doing, so I've been doing it ever since." Today, Cox's account boasts more than 24,000 followers, all of whom obsess over her '90s-inspired West Coast style.

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block. The head of a terrorist group controlling large parts of Syria and Iraq has declared himself the leader of a new caliphate, or Muslim state. But does saying it make it so? Counterterrorism officials say they haven't seen much happening on the ground that suggests major political changes. They say the decision to establish a caliphate is more about rhetoric than reality, that it's part of a strategy to help the group seize the mantle of terrorism from al-Qaida. NPR's Dina Temple-Raston reports now on whether that plan might work.
DINA TEMPLE-RASTON, BYLINE: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's decision to try to reestablish a caliphate in Syria and Iraq is not about setting up an Islamic government. It's really about politics - jihadi politics.
MATTHEW LEVITT: There was no groundwork laid for this. I think he really saw this as a way to present himself as an organized challenge to al-Qaida.
TEMPLE-RASTON: That's Matthew Levitt, from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. And by groundwork, he means al-Baghdadi apparently did not alert other jihadi groups or important religious leaders that he intended to name himself caliph, the leader of a Muslim state. He just waited until the first day of Ramadan, and he did it.
LEVITT: I think that al-Baghdadi has bitten off more than he can chew here. The idea of a caliphate is all Sunnis are supposed to have a obligation to this caliph. Now, if - if they don't follow suit, then it's empty words, and he demonstrates that he is not as powerful as he thought he would be.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Counterterrorism officials are watching key players outside Syria and Iraq - leaders in the jihadi community, to see whether they accept al-Bagdhadi as their leader, or they don't. And right now, it looks like they don't.
PATRICK JOHNSTON: None of the - the existing militant groups are really biting, except for some small-bit players.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Patrick Johnston, of the Rand Corporation, has been tracking who is lining up for al-Bagdhadi.
JOHNSTON: Not the stronger groups that ideally ISIS would peel away from supporting al-Qaida.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Al-Bagdhadi's list of supporters include locals in Raqqa, Syria, where he has training camps. They tweeted congratulations to him and called on others to pledge allegiance to him. A commander of Ansar al-Sharia in Tunisia, with the Twitter handle @BlackFlagNews, said he'd support al-Bagdhadi as the new caliph. And minor clerics, like a firebrand in the U.K., offered some measured support, which could help boost recruitment for al-Bagdhadi in Britain. But Rand's Patrick Johnston says the big jihadi names have been quiet.
JOHNSTON: I think they're waiting to see whether this will take, and someone has to make a first move.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Matthew Levitt of the Washington Institute agrees.
LEVITT: The big prize for Bagdhadi would be to get actual al-Qaida affiliates to begin siding with him. AQIM, AQAP, the Shabaab - etc. And so far, we haven't seen this.
TEMPLE-RASTON: AQIM is al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. AQAP is the group's arm in Yemen. And Shabaab is al-Qaida's affiliate in Somalia. And they have all been noticeably quiet. The Nusra Front, al-Qaida's arm in Syria, greeted al-Bagdhadi's announcement with sarcasm. They said he had succeeded in creating, in the group's words, a Twitter caliphate. The Rand Corporation's Johnston says al-Bagdhadi's definition of a caliphate is in keeping with his tendency to overreach.
JOHNSTON: And it ends up being counterproductive.
TEMPLE-RASTON: And what have we heard from one of the most important players in the struggle for jihadi hearts and minds, al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri? Absolutely nothing. Dina Temple-Raston, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Math Enthusiast Offers Staggering $1 Million Prize to Solve Mind-Bending Problem
Think math is for nerds?
There are a million reasons you're wrong.
A banker in Texas is offering $1 million to whoever can figure out a math problem that no one has been able to solve. You don't need to have aced advanced calculus to know that's a lot of money.
D. Andrew Beal initially offered $5,000 and the so-called Beal Prize when he introduced the award back in 1997. Over the years, he's steadily increased the pot in the hopes of finding someone who could solve the problem.
However, much like why Donald Trump continues to wear his hair the way he does, this is also a conundrum that leaves people shrugging their shoulders in confusion.
So, what exactly is the hoopla all about? Hold onto your polynomials and try to remember just what a quadratic equation is because Beal wants someone to prove or disprove the following:
If Ax + By = Cz , where A, B, C, x, y and z are positive integers and x, y and z are all greater than 2, then A, B and C must have a common prime factor"
Take away the fact that saying that out loud makes you sound like any one of Charlie Brown's teachers and you probably wish you paid more attention in algebra, right?
In addition to being a banker, Beal loves math and hopes to show young people it's a field worth following. With a million bucks on the line, he might be onto something.

Atorlip-5 is used to treat high cholesterol. Atorlip-5 is also used to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications in people with coronary heart disease or type 2 diabetes. Atorlip-5 is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body. Atorlip-5 reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease.
Use Atorlip-5 as directed by your doctor.
- Take Atorlip-5 by mouth with or without food.
- Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice may increase the amount of Atorlip-5 in your blood, which may increase your risk for serious side effects. The risk may be greater with large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice. Avoid large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice (eg, more than one quart daily). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about including grapefruit or grapefruit juice in your diet while you are taking Atorlip-5.
- Continue to take Atorlip-5 even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- If you miss a dose of Atorlip-5, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Atorlip-5.
Store Atorlip-5 at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Atorlip-5 out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Active Ingredient: Atorvastatin Calcium.

Laws Concerning Sexual Behavior. 1The LORD said to Moses: 2Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I, the LORD, am your God.* 3You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you once lived, nor shall you do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; do not conform to their customs.a 4My decrees you shall carry out, and my statutes you shall take care to follow. I, the LORD, am your God. 5Keep, then, my statutes and decrees, for the person who carries them out will find life* through them. I am the LORD.b
6* None of you shall approach a close relative* to have sexual intercourse. I am the LORD. 7* You shall not disgrace your father by having intercourse with your mother.c She is your own mother; you shall not have intercourse with her. 8You shall not have intercourse with your father's wife, for that would be a disgrace to your father. 9You shall not have intercourse with your sister,* d your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she was born in your own household or born elsewhere. 10You shall not have intercourse with your son's daughter or with your daughter's daughter,* for that would be a disgrace to you. 11You shall not have intercourse with the daughter whom your father's wife bore to him in his household,e since she, too, is your sister. 12You shall not have intercourse with your father's sister,f since she is your father's relative. 13You shall not have intercourse with your mother's sister, since she is your mother's relative. 14You shall not disgrace your father's brother by having sexual relations with his wife,g since she, too, is your aunt. 15You shall not have intercourse with your daughter-in-law;* h she is your son's wife; you shall not have intercourse with her. 16You shall not have intercourse with your brother's wife;* i that would be a disgrace to your brother. 17You shall not have intercourse with a woman and also with her daughter, nor shall you marry and have intercourse with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter;j they are related to her. This would be shameful. 18While your wife is still living you shall not marry her sister as her rival and have intercourse with her.k
19You shall not approach a woman to have intercourse with her while she is in her menstrual uncleanness.l 20You shall not have sexual relations with your neighbor's wife,* m defiling yourself with her. 21n You shall not offer any of your offspring for immolation to Molech,* thus profaning the name of your God. I am the LORD. 22You shall not lie with a male as with a woman;o such a thing is an abomination. 23You shall not have sexual relations with an animal, defiling yourself with it; nor shall a woman set herself in front of an animal to mate with it; that is perverse.p
24Do not defile yourselves by any of these things, because by them the nations whom I am driving out of your way have defiled themselves. 25And so the land has become defiled, and I have punished it for its wickedness, and the land has vomited out its inhabitants.q 26You, however, must keep my statutes and decrees, avoiding all these abominations, both the natives and the aliens resident among you— 27because the previous inhabitants did all these abominations and the land became defiled; 28otherwise the land will vomit you out also for having defiled it, just as it vomited out the nations before you. 29For whoever does any of these abominations shall be cut off from the people. 30Heed my charge, then, not to observe the abominable customs that have been observed before your time, and thus become impure by them.r I, the LORD, am your God.
* [18:2] I, the LORD, am your God: this declaration appears frequently elsewhere throughout chaps. 17–26, sometimes with a statement of God's holiness or his sanctifying activity. It emphasizes the importance of the laws and the relationship of the divine lawgiver to the people.
* [18:5] Find life: in Dt 30:15–20 Moses sets before the people life and death. The alternatives are set out in detail in Lv 26 and Dt 28. Cf. Ez 20:11, 13, 21.
* [18:6–23] These laws deal with illicit sexual behavior. Lv 20:10–21 reiterates most of these cases, with penalties. Cf. also Dt 27:15–26; Ez 22:7–12. The ordering of the cases in Lv 18 seems to be: blood relatives (vv. 6–13), those related by marriage (vv. 14–18), then other cases (vv. 19–23).
* [18:6] Close relative: this refers to a blood relative and includes those not specifically mentioned in the list, such as one's own daughter and a full sister. Have sexual intercourse: lit., "to uncover nakedness."
* [18:7–8] Cf. the story of Reuben lying with Bilhah, his father's concubine and Rachel's maid (Gn 35:22; 49:4).
* [18:9, 11] Cf. actual or possible marriage to a half sister in Gn 20:12 and 2 Sm 13:13.
* [18:10] Daughter incest is found in the story of Lot (Gn 19:30–38).
* [18:15] Judah had intercourse with his daughter-in-law Tamar (Gn 38), but did not know her true identity until her pregnancy was discovered.
* [18:16] This refers to cohabiting with one's sister-in-law not only while the brother is alive, but also after he is dead. Dt 25:5–10 allows for the marriage to the wife of a brother when that brother died without a male heir. Cf. Gn 38:6–14. It was the violation of this law of Leviticus which aroused the wrath of John the Baptist against Herod Antipas (Mt 14:4; Mk 6:18).
* [18:20] Adultery in the Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East is intercourse between a married or betrothed woman and any male. In the Bible it is generally punishable by the death of both individuals (20:10; cf. Dt 22:22–27). Intercourse with an unmarried or unbetrothed woman is not prohibited but carries responsibilities and fines (cf. Ex 22:15–16; Dt 22:28–29). Cf. Lv 19:20–22.
* [18:21] Immolation to Molech: the reference is to the custom of sacrificing children to the god Molech. Cf. Ez 16:20–21; 20:26, 31; 23:37. See note on Lv 20:1–5.
b. [18:5] Ez 20:11, 13, 21; Gal 3:12.
c. [18:7] Lv 20:11; Dt 23:1; 27:20; 1 Cor 5:1.
i. [18:16] Lv 20:21; Dt 25:5–10; Mt 14:3–4; Mk 6:18.
j. [18:17] Lv 20:14; Dt 27:23.
l. [18:19] Lv 15:24, 33; 20:18; Ez 18:6; 22:10.
m. [18:20] Lv 20:10; Ex 20:14; Dt 5:18; 22:22; Mt 5:27–30; Jn 8:4–5.
n. [18:21] Lv 20:2–5; Dt 18:10; 1 Kgs 11:7; 2 Kgs 16:3.
o. [18:22] Lv 20:13; Gn 19:4–11; Jgs 19:22–30; Rom 1:27; 1 Cor 6:9.

At Derby Tree Surgeons we offer a fresh approach to commercial and domestic tree care and tree surgery in Chellaston and surrounding areas, born from our love of trees we offer friendly up to date advice and practice on any tree related issues, be it from tree planting to tree felling and anything in between. We do this honestly and with our clients wishes to guide us. Using modern equipment specifically designed for use in the arboriculture industry. No matter where you are, if you're looking for a Tree Surgeon in Chellaston or anywhere else in Derbyshire that you can trust to be polite, professional, knowledgeable and respectful please contact your local tree surgeons, Derby Tree Surgeons today.
Crown Lifting
Crown lifting in Chellaston is carried out to increase the clearance between the ground level and the lower branches either to allow access below the tree, to clear sight lines, improve views or allow light to penetrate to the ground. This can be a simple yet very effective solution.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning in Chellaston involves the removal of a proportion of secondary and small live growth from throughout the entire crown. This results in an even density of foliage. Crossing, weak and dead or damaged branches are also removed. This allows more light through the tree and a better resistance to high winds. This means that the wind can pass through the crown of the tree, and can improve the trees' stability.
Tree Felling & Removal
Sometimes we can't avoid this course of action, maybe your tree is causing damage to your property, too big for it's surroundings, dead, dying diseased or dangerous, trees although long-lived do come to the end of their lives.
Tree felling in Chellaston can be the most difficult of operations and sometimes a tree will have to be dismantled piece by piece, but we do it using ropes, pulleys and braking devices to ensure we have as much control as possible and the risk is reduced to a minimum. We always encourage re-planting of trees.
Tree Pollarding
A very traditional form of tree care in Derby & throughout the UK often seen in large cities where the street trees are well maintained on a regular basis. It involves the removal of the majority of the crown of the tree to form a good structure for new growth. Pollarding is only suitable for certain species of trees.
Pollarding has evolved from the ancient practice of Coppicing where by trees were routinely cut down to ground level so that they would re-shoot, this was and still is a form of farming trees and is still widely practiced in Chellaston and all over the U.K.
Stump Removal
Sometimes after a tree has been felled you may need the stump removed, this may be to enable a new tree to be planted or maybe you are having some building work done and need that stump out of the way.
Derby Tree Surgeons can take care of this for you, a machine called a "stump-grinder" will be used to grind the solid wood stump in to small wood chippings, these can then be used elsewhere in the garden as mulch.
Contact Derby Tree Surgeons
We aim to make the whole process of tree surgery in Chellaston as transparent, professional and as easy as possible whilst achieving results that are desirable to our clients and beneficial to their trees. Why not contact us for friendly honest advice and a free no obligation quotation.

Black Friday shopping has plenty of potential pitfalls. Your shoes might give you blisters. You could forget to bring a snack to eat while you wait in line. Or the item you are looking for could be sold out. These mistakes might be annoying, but there area some errors that can cost you money. We asked a roster of experts to tell us the biggest mistakes people make on Black Friday. You already have a to-do list. Here's your don't-do list.
1. Paying full price for add-ons. Don't undermine your savings by buying accessories like cables and batteries at list price, says Dan de Grandpre, CEO of DealNews.com. Stores display these items prominently and conveniently for a reason. Especially with electronics, the accessories you need to get are strictly commodities; one store's isn't going to be measurably different from another's in quality. Yes, it's a little more effort, but these are the kinds of items online shopping was invented for.
2. Not bothering to comparison shop. "One mistake is assuming that something in a store, simply because it's on sale on Black Friday, is a good deal," says Jim Wang, founder of the blog Bargaineering.com. "It might be a decent deal, but you could do better going online." In fact, it's gotten easier to do the Black Friday sale experience without having to leave your house — or even wait until Friday. Many online retailers, along with some brick-and-mortar chains, are rolling out their holiday specials throughout this week. If you do hit the mall on Friday, though, most of our experts strongly suggest taking a tablet or smart phone with a price-comparison app or two so you can make sure you're getting the real-deal best deal.

3. Buying toys too early — or too late. No matter what the ads say, you're not going to get the best deals on toys on Black Friday, says de Grandpre. "Toys in general are almost always cheaper in the first two weeks of December," he says. At mass-market stores that aren't stocked with a huge supply of toys year round, "Those toys have an expiration date. Those toys are not going to move after Christmas," he says. But on the other hand, waiting until the last possible second isn't the best tactic, either. "If you wait too long, five to seven days before Christmas, prices climb again because they're getting the procrastinators," he says.
4. Getting the wrong features on a TV. TVs are a hugely popular Black Friday door-buster, and Gary Merson, editor of TV blog HDGuru.com, says a lot of people make the mistake of trying to score the cheapest set they can without considering whether it meets their needs. On LCD or LED TVs, one feature is the refresh rate. Your choices are generally 60 hz or 120 hz, which refers to the number of times per second the picture changes. "120 hz gives better motion resolution than 60 hz, so that's something people who watch sports or action movies should consider," he says. Also, while manufacturers have been talking up 3-D and smart TVs, the catch with 3-D is that there's very limited content available, Merson says. "Unless you're into movies and have a 3-D Blu-ray player, then it's probably not that big of a deal." Smart TVs let you stream content from the Internet, but you can get the same result with a "dumb" TV and an external streaming device like Roku or Apple TV that costs a hundred bucks or less.
(MORE: JCPenney's Not-So-Black Friday)
5. Getting the timing wrong. Many of our experts pointed out that Black Friday actually starts at midnight or even earlier this year. Stores like Sears and Walmart are rolling out door-busters starting on Thanksgiving night, and many big chains are staggering the hours of their openings and their sales. If you're bound and determined to get that dirt-cheap TV, make sure you're not going to get there hours after they've sold out.
6. Settling for something more expensive. This brings up another point about door-busters. There are usually only a few of them, sometimes as few as two items per store. Walmart instituted a guaranteed availability of some sale items this year, but that's the exception rather than the rule. In other words, if you're not reading this on a mobile device while shivering in a sleeping bag on the sidewalk outside the store by now, you've probably missed your chance. Stores don't mind practically giving away a few things because they know most of the other people in line will want to get something for their time and numb toes, so they'll sell lots of other stuff that isn't the deal those shoppers were coming for. Don't be one of those people.
7. Opening a bunch of store credit cards. Yes, you'll probably get 10% or 15% off. You may even get to cut a monstrous checkout line. But signing up for store cards left and right can leave you with a credit hangover that lasts well into the new year, says John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education at SmartCredit.com. The potential damage starts before you've even taken your bags out of the store. "Retail-store inquiries are among the most damaging type for your credit scores, and they can impact your scores for 12 months," he says. The damage is cumulative and increases with each additional card you apply for. What's more, store cards tend to have a combination of high APRs and low credit limits, which can catch you if you don't pay off the whole balance by the due date or if you max it out. "Low limits are problematic for your scores because the cards can be heavily leveraged even with modest spending," he says.

8. Not reading the fine print on price-matching offers. "A popular move for top retailers such as Best Buy and Target in 2012 is their claimed price-matching programs," says Brad Wilson, founder of BlackFriday2012.com and BradsDeals.com. Even though some of these deals claim they'll match prices of online retailers like Amazon, "the catch is that many of these items, electronics especially, now have a unique model number assigned to each retailer. For example, the exact same Toshiba 42-in. LCD TV would have a unique model number, hence excluding it from any price-match guarantee."

For years, a car accident has been blamed in the 1976 death of former Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek. But a new inquiry has found the politician was murdered by the military dictatorship that ruled Brazil for 21 years.
"We have no doubt that Juscelino Kubitschek was the victim of a conspiracy, a plot and a political attack," Sao Paulo Truth Commission leader Gilberto Natalini says, according to Agence France-Presse.
Kubitschek served as Brazil's president from 1956 to 1961; his election as a former surgeon with a devotion to infrastructure and development garnered a cover story in Time magazine. At the time of his death, the former leader, 73, worked as a banker.
The panel that looked into Kubitschek's death found "more than 90 pieces of evidence and clues on the military's involvement in his death on Aug. 22, 1976, on a road near the town of Resende, in the south of Rio de Janeiro state," the AFP says, citing Natalini.
The military junta that seized power in Brazil in 1964 maintained control until 1985. For several years, the dictatorship forced Kubitschek into exile. He was killed less than 10 years after his return.
Kubitschek's death has long been attributed to an accident in which a bus hit his car. But for just as long, suspicions have lingered over the official story.
From the BBC:
"Among the evidence is testimony from the driver of the bus that crashed into the former president's car.
"He is said to have told the investigators he had been offered money in exchange for admitting guilt for the accident.
"Another witness reportedly told the commission he briefly saw a bullet hole in the head of Mr Kubitschek's driver during an exhumation procedure in 1996."
The commission is releasing its full report today.
During his presidential tenure, Kubitschek sought to modernize Brazil and develop its industrial ability. He moved the nation's capital from Rio de Janeiro to the planned city of Brasilia, which remains defined by its modern architecture. The city's international airport is named in his honor.
