Services that are related to trees
When trees are considered, there are a number of things that are to be done with them. When a tree becomes lifeless, it is important to offer the right nutrients to bring it back to life. Correct pruning of the tree at right intervals give a new life to the tree and help in using the nutrients that are available effectively. The disease protection techniques that are taught by the professionals will help a person realize the problematic areas around and within a tree and also let them know about the things that are to be avoided. Professionals also offer advice on how to select the plants and saplings and what kind of trees are ideal to be planted in a specific area. The firms that offer services are listed in the website and anyone can visit website to know the type of services a company offers. Tree removal is done for a number of reasons and only after knowing the precise reason, a professional can give the service that is wanted.
Len McKeown Tree Services offer tree removal on both commercial and residential sites. Fertilizing and restoring a tree after it has become weak is the most important service that is provided by any company that works on trees. It is very important to save a tree from dying. Fertilizing a tree keeps it alive and gives a fresh look to the garden. When a tree is lifeless it becomes worthless. It also makes a whole garden look lifeless. This is why proper importance should be given to trees. A tree also holds tons of memories as it passes from one generation to the other. When a tree or stump removal is done, it is very important to do it carefully without causing any damage to the trees and plants that are nearby. The other regions of the tree whose stumps are being removed should also be protected. Only this will help in maintaining the tree in a good condition. All the wastes should also be removed immediately so they do not attract termites or other kinds of insects.
Uses of a home fan in a residence
Fans are machines that are used to produce a flow of air. They are also used to form flow within any fluids or gases. The presence of the rotating arrangement acts on the fluid in use. Vanes or blades are used for this purpose. The assembly of the hub to the blades is known as a rotor, impeller or a runner. The blades and hub are contained inside a cage. This prevents the assembly from being dismantled unintentionally. This ensures the safety while the device is being used. The other parts are also prevented from contacting the blades of the fan. Electric motors are used to provide the power that is necessary to operate a fan. Sometimes, other sources like hand cranks, hydraulic motors or internal combustion engines are also used. The flow is created with the help of low pressure and the high volume that is created by the home fan. When a full stream is created, the fan rotates. Thermal comfort and climate control are the major applications of a home fan. The exhaust system that is used in a home is also created with a fan in it. They are generally placed in the building's attic.
The major purpose of such kind of fan is to circulate air through the holes that are created for this purpose. The major use of a fan is to eliminate the unbearable heat by circulating air in a confined space. Manual fans that are operated by hands were used earlier. With the development of technology, electrical fans then came into use. They use the power of electricity in order to rotate the blades and circulate the air. This is done with the help of a motor that is built in. Fans can either be mounted onto a sealing that is between the living space and the attic, ducted fans can be mounted away remotely and can be hung from rafters. Some fans are mounted to the rooftops where there is no attic. The major purpose of all these types of fans is to control the heat in a place. There are a number of brands that manufacture fans and sell their products in the market.

Van Halen shut down Hollywood with performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, David Lee Roth injured (video)
by craig on Mar.31, 2015, under ROCK NEWS, TV ROCK NEWS, VIDEO
David Lee Roth first ever U.S. television performance with Van Halen happened on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as the band shut down Hollywood Boulevard for a concert before a crowd of about 6,000. The first part of that aired last night, and will continue with taped performances tonight. Dave has grown some hair since his cleanly shaven dome performance for Dave Grohl's birthday bash a couple of months ago, and came away from this show with a nice gash on his nose during their first attempt on "Panama." Watch the mishap and performances below.
Diamond Dave cut himself in the face with a microphone soon after hitting the stage, then pausing the show until he was bandaged up. "I f—ed my nose up with the microphone here," Roth said. "So we're gonna start the whole thing over, and give you a little extra for your patience."
Live renditions of "Panama" and "Runnin' With the Devil,"
Van Halen's 2015 North American summer and fall tour will kick off July 5 in Seattle, with tickets going on sale April 4.

Metalachi bring the Heavy Metal Mariachi back to SLO Brew and get into some chi-chi talk (video)
by craig on Mar.17, 2015, under FUNNIES, INTERVIEWS, LINKS, PHOTOS, ROCK NEWS, ROCK TOUR DATES, VIDEO
Metalachi made their triumphant return to SLO Brew to kick off their 'Funeral March 2015' tour on Thursday night (March 12). This was their third visit to the venue in downtown San Luis Obispo, California and the crowd was ready for the party as the Metal Mariachi Kings hit the stage, brought on by MC Warren Moscow. I had a chance to talk to the world's only Heavy Metal Mariachi band post show, which you can watch below.
Kicking off their set with 'Rainbow In The Dark,' frontman Vega DeLa Rockha encouraged everyone "to get horny for Ronnie James Dio" as a sea of horns up hands swayed back and forth. The set continued with a wide range of Metalachized versions of tracks by Slayer, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi and many more.
The set also included a special appearance by Ramon Holiday on Sublime's 'Santeria.' Holiday now apparently now owns a coffee shop, which is proving to be quite lucrative for him as he is constantly jacked up on caffeine. For more photos from the show click here.
If you have never seen Metalachi live in concert, do yourself a favor and make your way to the party as the guys not only deliver laughs and get you smiling the entire set, their musicianship is stellar and you will never look at mariachi music the same way again. The band will be returning to the Central California Coast for the Avila Beach Tequila Festival on May 23. For upcoming tour dates in your area and everything Metalachi, go to metalachi.com
I had a chance to drink a cerveza and chat with Metal Mariachi Kings Vega DeLa Rockha, El Cucuy, Nacho Picante, Paco Halen and Pepe Pantera about the kick off of their 'Funeral March' 2015 tour, their recent East coast gigs and shows coming up including the Avila Beach Tequila Festival and OzzFiesta. We also talk about the awesome chi-chi's and who they would eat if starving and stranded on a desert island. Sorry about the audio as it was shot with a tablet and picked up a lot of backround noise.

Have a Drink
Locked away for a week in the Swedish outpost of Klippan at Lemon Studios, the Quireboys couldn't have imagined what would emerge from the most intensive recording process of their careers.
"It was the bleakest place I've ever seen," said guitarist Paul Guerin. "I felt like I was in the Big Brother house," added Spike. "I never stepped out of the studio – not once. We could have gone stir crazy but we came out of there with a record we never knew was possible."
"The plan was always to record some new acoustic songs and rework some originals," added vocalist Spike. "But the plan changed. There was something about that place – the vibe got better and better and we just went with the flow."
Spike, Paul Guerin, Guy Griffin (guitar) and Keith Weir (keyboards) flew home with 10 new songs and a brand new sound.
The new 4CD set willl also include the band's last release 'Halfpenny Dancer,' and two discs covering the previously unreleased 2010 Halfpenny Dancer live show featuring fiddles, pedal steel, mandolin, banjo and more.
The new album's title might hark back to the Quireboys' rootsy legacy but the quality of its music reaffirms a desire to break new ground and grow their sound. The band recently celebrated their 30th anniversary and that rocking vibe continued with the new album.

VIDEO: Whaboom guy on The Bachelorette will deeply confuse and delight you
- Stream the first episode of The Bachelorette Season 13 on 9Now, immediately, if not sooner.
Ahhh, The Bachelorette.
It's a glorious melting pot of shame and trash and many, many ball gowns.
And if you thought the Australian version was weird, we'd like to introduce you to the triple distilled crazy cocktail that is the US version.
For anyone who doesn't understand the premise of the show (we said "premise", not "need for it to exist"), it's basically a house full of men who sacrifice their dignity to clamour over each other in a bid to win the heart of the bachelorette.
It's not normal, it's kinda wrong and it's bloody glorious.
This year marks the 13th US season of The Bachelorette, with jilted former The Bachelor contestant Rachel Lindsay in control of the roses.
Last night marked the launch of the show, which is a fantastically cringe-worthy parade of potential suitors getting out of super, super fancy black cars.
And hoooooy boy, were there some doozeys.
Weirdo Number One is Lucas Yancey, AKA Whabooom.
We're not entirely sure what "whaboom" is, but it is listed as his occupation.
Yancey's entrance to the show was equal parts terrible and fantastic.
We're going to give you a second to watch it, replay it and let it sink in.
[Via 20th Century Fox]
There would be some cynical folks out there who would suggest that someone who appeared on the show with a hashtag emblazoned on their chest was promoting a commercial venture of some kind.
You actually think people use shows like The Bachelor as a platform to launch their pitiful careers and a desperate bid for fame?!
We don't believe you.
Sure, old mate may happen to have a a business flogging this Whaboom shirts online, but that's beside the point.
This is about love, guys.
Yancey is, according to US entertainment sites, a real estate investor and developer and has been known to dip his toe in acting and comedy.
He was on WeTV's Ex Isle last year and he was behind a YouTube ad calledSexy Doritos Massage!, a video that has attracted exactly three comments, one of which says: "You need to be hosting SNL " and another that simply reads "WHABOOOOOM ".
And while this guy may come off as somewhat irritating, he makes excellent fodder for reality TV and the corresponding Twitter storm:
Whaboom guy is so odd he almost overshadows the guy who brought French doll with a suit and dreamy hair to the competition.
The eligible man on question is a real estate agent called Adam, while the doll thing from hell is creatively called Adam Jnr, shortened to AJ.
Here they are:
Yep, that's real life.
And could you believe that an inanimate child-sized doll would have more personality and fans than a real estate Bachelorette contestant?
…yeah, we can.
Just look at this smooth player:
[Image via Twitter/@MrAidanMeehan]
Oh, and that guy on the left was the cluey gent who lists his occupation as "tickle monster". We kid you not.
What a glorious, mind-melting trainwreck.
We highly recommend that you get on this board with this madness.
Tune in to 9Life on Tuesdays at 7.30pm to catch new episodes.

Emerson Winter (Baby Em, Emmie)
Born May 12, 2012 at 3:08 p.m.
7 lbs 14.5 oz
21 inches long
My sweet baby girl entered the world with one tiny cry and an obvious aura of peace about her. I am amazed by how right on I was about her personality before she was born—the connection between mother and child during gestation is certainly powerful and mysterious. Baby E is sweet, curious, strong, determined, and gentle. She has been incredibly alert from the first moment she opened her eyes, always studying the faces in front of her in a way that pulls at your heart and creates an instant bond—it's impossible not to love her (but, perhaps I'm a little biased).
Emmie will be one week old tomorrow, and I am just now able to detach her from my body for short spurts of time, although I still cannot be in a separate room from her. I knew I'd be pretty attached to my baby when she arrived, but the overwhelming need to feel her tiny body against mine, to smell her skin, to continue to feel intertwined and one with her, is a phenomenon I couldn't have imagined before. For the first few days I even felt conflicted in that I was so ecstatic to finally have her here, to be able to see her face and hold her, but at the same time part of me wanted to tuck her back in my belly and not let her go.
Even more incredible than my attachment to Em, though, is her attachment to me. Nothing could've prepared me for the love my daughter has for her mama. It's still hard for me to accept how important I am, how much she needs me and craves me. The night she was born, my husband and I slept with her in between us in bed, each of us holding one of her hands, all three of our faces pressed together. The next night Em scooted herself a little bit closer to me, the night after she was pressed up against my chest, and the night after that she was on top of me….where she remains today. She has a need for constant body contact, which I love, but it has certainly changed my life. Alex and I live in fear of the times I need to get up to use the bathroom, because the minute I exit the room she knows and loses her calm composure. The radar she has is unbelievable. Alex can hold her in bed with me sitting right next to her and she'll be fine, but she knows if I am not in bed.
The animal instincts of babies just blow my mind. For example, the way they rely on their sense of smell is unreal. Em learned the smell of her amniotic fluid in utero which is the same smell my breast milk has, so she can keep track of me, whether she is asleep or awake, based on whether or not she smells me in the room. It's crazy to see her react from across the room when there is a boob out in the open. She can sniff that milk out like a bloodhound. What breaks my heart is the look on her face when she knows I'm not there—her eyebrows are so incredibly expressive and you can tell, without a doubt, that she is truly worried, like a dog who fears his owner will never come back every time he is left.
So, this is my life right now—nursing non-stop, cuddling, not sleeping, and strategizing about how to sneak out of the room to use the bathroom (aka, the only 5 minutes I get to myself now that Em is on the scene). Parenthood is just as everyone explains it: crazy and chaotic, wonderful and life-altering, exhausting and the source of so much love, appreciation and heart-melting goodness.
The birth story is coming soon. I'm hoping to begin posting the series on Monday! Yes, it will take more than one post to tell this epic—in fact, it will take several.

Blue and white hibiscus flower ring catcher. Handbuilt with earthenware clay. Big enough to also hold a pair of earrings or a bracelet.

M & J's famous purple pasta (recipe in the comments)
Hot tea
You'll note that this recipe is all M & J, not inspired by anyone. That's not strictly true, but the story is complex enough that I couldn't put it all in the title. While Ten Dinners? was offline last fall, M and I tried a recipe for Sweet and Creamy Red Beet Pasta that sounded FANTASTIC. It was sauteed beets, basil, and garlic tossed with pasta and goat cheese. How could this be bad? Well, it was. It ended up being flavorless, the beets were dull, and it was way too goat cheese-y. So it was just like a dry-ish ball of goat cheese and pasta with red pieces in it. Sigh. Anyway, while we were unimpressed with the original, both of us felt the idea of a beet pasta was too good to abandon after one failed effort. Anyway, this is our own attempt. It's inspired by the unsuccessful aforementioned Sweet and Creamy Red Beet Pasta, but the technique is from our amazing Moosewood Cooks At Home recipe for Pasta Fresca, made with fresh tomatoes. Here, the beets are pureed with raw garlic and lots of basil, with just a bit of lemon juice and olive oil. The result is rich and earthy (like beets should be), but with the brightness lent by the garlic, basil, and lemon. The color is a dream. You toss it with hot pasta and a bit of goat cheese (not much!) for an amazing result. Good job M and J, good job.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Nothing, but you do need a Cuisinart or blender.
Time: 25 minutes
Make ahead: Make the sauce whenever and toss with hot pasta and cheese just before serving.
J: "Success! Our beet pasta wins a blue ribbon!"
M: "Can't beet this!"

A former Deputy Senate President, Albert Legogie, is dead. He died on Monday after a brief illness in Benin, Edo State. He was 66.
His first son, Victor, said: "He had malaria and was taken to the hospital. He recovered and was brought home, in fact, he was doing well.
"But later, he was ill again and we rushed him back to the hospital, but unfortunately, he died.
"So as you know my dad was a man of many parts, so we have to inform the National Assembly, the state government before we fix the funeral date."
The late Legogie is survived by six children. His wife was said to have died 25 years ago.
He represented Edo North Senatorial district during the ill-fated Ibrahim Babangida's transition programme.
He was the Company Secretary and Legal Adviser of the Bendel Newspapers Company and General Manager of New Nigerian Salt Company, Oghareki.
Governor Adams Oshiomhole described the deceased as a true democrat, who gave his all for the growth of Nigeria's democracy.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Peter Okhiria, Oshiomhole said: "News of the death came to me as a shock.
" I offer my personal commiseration and the condolence of the people and government of Edo State.
"His death is a great loss not only to his family, but also to the people, who he served so devotedly."
Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu described the death as painful and shocking.
Ekweremadu said: "Senator Legogie was an elder statesman who distinguished himself in leadership and selfless service to the nation.
"His death is a loss to the Senate and the nation as he was a repository of parliamentary knowledge."
He condoled with the family, the government and people of Edo State and the nation.

Agis III (Greek: Άγης, 'Αγις Γ' ) was the son of Archidamus III, of the Eurypontid line. He succeeded his father in 338 BC, on the very day of the battle of Chaeronea. During Alexander's Asiatic campaign he revolted against Macedonia (333 BC) and, with the aid of Persian money and ships and a force of 8000 Greek mercenaries, gained considerable successes in Crete. In the Peloponnese he routed a force under Corragus and, although Athens held aloof, he was joined by Elis, Achaea (except Pellene) and Arcadia, with the exception of Megalopolis, which the allies besieged. Antipater marched rapidly to its relief at the head of a large army. The allied force was defeated after a desperate struggle (331), and Agis was slain.
Preceded by Archidamus III
Eurypontid King of Sparta 338 BC– 331 BC

New experimental visualization technique for cartilage mapping
In a collaboration with Dr Christoph Zilkens and Dr Bernd Bittersohl (Düsseldorf University Hospital, Germany) we have performed a pilot study on the integration of dGemric cartilage mapping and 3D motion simulations. This visualization technique is still very experimental.
For our next steps in integration of dGemric cartilage mapping and 3D motion simulation, we would like to ask you three questions.

Or think how soap
used a week in the shower
molds itself to the curves
of the shower-taker.
How hot water
softens the bar's edges,
how hands push it
across biceps, into
angles of elbows and
knees, through hollows
beneath arms. How
some equation, marvelous
and unknowable,
governs the molding,
its variables being:
the form of the bar,
the shape of the showerer,
the heat of the water,
the duration of pleasure.
How at week's end the soap
will be unique to the person
who showered with it.
Or think how two,
showering together,
split the variable shape
into shape plus shape --
how their soap becomes
the average of their shapes,
one measure of two bodies.
April, 1997

Foreign Office minister Mike O'Brien is well remembered at his alma mater, Staffordshire University.
"It was North Staffs Polytechnic then, and in 1972 we set up a BA in modern studies and in 1973 Mike enrolled," said his old tutor, Owen Ashton. "In his third year I taught him popular politics, 1880-1914, and I like to think I grounded him well in Labour Party history."
"I always felt he was the least likely to be an MP as he was so sincere," he added.
Mr O'Brien, MP for Warwickshire North since 1992, has been parliamentary under-secretary of state in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office since 2002.
He was a casualty of the Hinduja affair - he insisted that he had spoken to Peter Mandelson about a passport application by one of the billionaire Hinduja brothers - and was sacked as a home office minister in 2001.
But 2002 saw Jack Straw come to his rescue and he became minister for the Middle East. He recently went to Syria and Iran to maintain dialogue and has become one of the government's most high-profile figures in recent weeks. He has also launched a review of the vetting of overseas students.
Mr O'Brien won plaudits from Alistair Campbell, the prime minister's director of communications, for his calm response to Clare Short's resignation threat. As well as doing a PGCE, Mr O'Brien trained as a solicitor in the late 1970s and was a lecturer in law at Colchester College of Further and Higher Education for most of the 1980s. He was a branch secretary for lecturers' union Natfhe in the late 1980s.
Mr O'Brien, who is frequently referred to as the "silver-haired former lawyer", was born the son of a railwayman and educated at St George's School and Blessed Edward Oldcorne School.
Staffordshire had hoped to award Mr O'Brien an honorary doctorate but business at the House kept him away. "He is still on the list," Professor Ashton said.

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part of our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Today's song, featured on the Afternoon Show with Kevin Cole, is "Reeling Out" by Solvents from their 2015 self-released album, Modern Dystopia.
Port Townsend's Solvents have been one of Northwest's best kept secrets for the past half-decade, but all that should change with the release of Modern Dystopia. A wash with the truly beautiful and intelligent vocals from frontman Jarrod Paul Bramson and pitch-perfect harmonies from violin/vocalist Emily Madden; these multi talented marvels make sure each element contributes a sense of melancholy and wistfulness that many established bands struggle to include. With its deliberate pacing and expert crescendos, "Reeling Out" is one of the catchiest well-written rock songs to hit the KEXP airwaves this year. Dripping in lo-fi atmospherics and with hooks this good, today's featured song proves that this duo can lay down some poppy frenetic folk jams with the best of them.
Catch Solvents next month at Make.Shift Project in Bellingham on May 1st, at Anacortes Music Channel on May 2nd, and in Ballard at Conor Byrne on June 4th. Keep up to date with the two on their Facebook and Bandcamp pages and check them out performing "Careless Step" in their living room in Port Townsend:
