Got a bad haircut? Don't worry, it'll grow back. Not necessarily so for your favorite tree if you prune it incorrectly.
Yes, you can actually kill your favorite tree if you prune too much off the top, make an incorrect chop, or even if the timing just isn't right when you do your pruning.
Knowing the facts before you begin pruning your tree can keep you from accidentally killing your trees.
Here are four important facts to know before you prune.
Just because your neighbor complains about your trees blocking their sun, doesn't mean you should grab your chainsaw and hack off the top to keep them happy.
Cutting off the all the leaves around the top of a tree, or over-pruning a large section of the crown is known as "topping" and it is one of the most common – and fatal – mistakes people make when pruning their trees.
Topping not only can leave you with a disfigured tree, it severely weakens the branches and support structure which can cause the tree to die.
Depending on the species and condition of the tree, there are good times and bad times to trim your trees.
If you don't know the facts before you begin pruning, you can kill your trees – especially if you don't know when the right – and wrong – time to prune is. Some species should only be trimmed in the spring, some can be trimmed in the summer, some in the fall.
The best and worst times to prune may also be determined by the condition of the tree. If a tree has recently been stressed – say by a recent bug or fungus infection, or even a weather-related event such as a storm – then in general it should not be pruned.
You should always have your trees inspected by a certified arborist before pruning or trimming any of them.
Another common fact many don't consider when pruning their trees that can kill them is making improper cuts.
Cutting off branches too close to the trunk, removes the branch collar, which has special cells that actually help the tree heal from being cut. If you cut this area off, the wound may become infected by disease, or pests which ultimately can kill the tree.
You may also inadvertently make your trees more susceptible to disease and pests by accidentally tearing off the bark if you don't take the right precautions when cutting large branches, as those special healing cells won't form properly.
Over pruning your trees to provide more room for grass or other plants actually can kill your tree.
Generally, you shouldn't prune off more than about 15 to 20 percent a mature tree's foliage. Usually, five to ten percent is more than adequate when deciding how much to prune
If you need to make room for other plants, it's usually better to remove some of your trees completely, rather than risk killing them by over pruning.
Our professionally trained arborists can properly prune your trees & shrubs in order to remove dead, dying, diseased or damaged limbs, increase light & air penetration by selective thinning and also eliminate potential hazards.
Contact us today for a free, no-obligation estimate of your job, and save your money, time (and body) from pruning the trees yourself.

Thank you for viewing my Photography Galleries. My name is Michael L. Nelson, and I have been taking photographs for more that 20 years. I developed a love for photography with the birth of my oldest son in 1984. I originally used 35mm film cameras, but I made the switch to digital and I now use Nikon digital equipment. The newer editing technology and the ability to see your images immediately has given me an even deeper love for photography. I enjoy photographing corporate and private events, weddings, senior portraits, family, and pet portraits, as well as many personal interests, such as landscapes and travel.
To me photography has always been like 'Magic'. It still amazes me that I can actually freeze a moment in time, capture the emotion, and produce an image that will be shared and enjoyed over and over again. I truly believe that it is important for everyone to hold on to those special moments in their lives, and let's face it; there is no better way to celebrate and remember life than with photos.
In addition to my years of practical experience I also have technical training. I am a graduate of Samford University where I earned my SAS Certificate of Photography. I have taken additional photography courses at the Birmingham School of Photography and Bessemer Technical College as well as attending many Professional Training Seminars. Some of the courses I have completed include Nikon Digital, Wedding and Bridal Photography, Studio and Portrait lighting, Photoshop editing, Photoshop Elements, Digital Printing, and other photographic classes.
I also enjoy teaching photography. Currently I am a Photography Instructor at Samford University for the Samford After Sundown Program. Prior to joining the staff at Samford I was an Instructor for the Southern Institute of Photography located at The Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
If you are in need of a photographer for your wedding, prom, senior portrait, family, children, pets portraits, or for any of the Magic Moments in your life, please contact me. I assure you that I would capture your memories with artistry and care..., I am the photographer that you have been looking for.
Thank you and God bless,Michael L. Nelson
*** Photography is an art.... I don't simply place images on paper. I capture the moments that make cherished memories and give you back those memories every time you look into your album ***
*** Life is not about the breaths we take…, but the moments that take our breath away! ***

- A diagnostic service for network leaders to use in diagnosing their network's strengths and weaknesses and to shape continuous improvement
- Online tutorials and facilitation guidance for network leaders in the use of the diagnostic tool
- An online community of practice for network leaders to learn from each other and connect with and utilise the experience of other networks
- A knowledge bank of evidence and learning resources to ensure network leaders have the latest evidence and intelligence on leading effective networks
Continuing development is planned for the platform in the coming months, so please refer back to it regularly for updates.
Events and networking opportunities
To support the launch of the platform, the team are holding a tweet chat for network leaders on Monday 31st July, 6pm-7pm. The chat will cover networks in health and care, how to lead them, when to use them, how to engage people in them – a good discussion about what works. Please join in by using the hashtag #S4N, where we will bring network leaders and Twitter colleagues who know all about the evidence to share best practice.
There is also a series of masterclass webinars exploring key themes in network leadership, hosted by experts in the field. Register on the Source4Networks platform for further information and updates.

NEW YORK – (CT&P) – A Pew Research poll conducted just this morning has found that a majority of Americans now believe that Donald Trump is the most obnoxious asshole they have ever heard of. Trump edged out Bill O'Reilly, Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, and Jim Inhofe to win top honors.
The lightning poll of 100 million adults asked participants to rate each individual in terms of obnoxiousness, pomposity, lack of empathy, stupidity, and blinkered Philistine pig-ignorance.
"The results were stunning," said Michael Dimock, President of Pew Research. "65% of those polled rated Trump the 'largest walking anus' they had ever seen, with the former champ Bill O'Reilly dropping to a distant second place."
When asked if they could describe Trump in one word, participants in the poll used adjectives like "vile," "heinous," "disgusting," "loathsome," "repugnant," and "odious" to describe the Republican front-runner.
When asked why he thought there was such a shift in public opinion, Dimock said that the almost unfathomable amount of bullshit pouring forth from Trump's mouth in recent weeks probably had something to do with it.
"When you go around saying that 17% of our population consists of a gang of diseased rapists and start bad-mouthing a war hero when you yourself got a deferment for an ankle sprain, people naturally start to regard you as some kind of hideous parasitic worm, which is exactly what Trump is," said Dimock.
Dimock was less decisive as to whether the change in attitude would affect Trump's campaign for the Republican nomination for president.
"Most of Trump's supporters don't have the sense God gave a goat," said Dimock. "I mean we're talking about the Tea Party wing of the GOP; these people can't even spell moron or constitution correctly on their protest signs.
"I think Trump will continue to poll pretty well among those Neanderthals. They think he's 'telling it like it is' when he has no clue what the fuck he's talking about. He's still got a shot."
When Trump was asked about the poll during a press conference this afternoon, he told reporters, "Yes, that's right. I'm the richest asshole in the United States."
Bill O'Reilly, who held the top spot for many years, claimed the poll was a conspiracy hatched by White House officials and their friends in the liberal media.
When reached by phone for comment, O'Reilly told New York Times reporter Emily Steel that the poll was wildly inaccurate and he was still the biggest asshole on the public stage. He also threatened to kill anyone involved in the poll or any employee of Pew Research that he could get his hands on.

Proton produced their first car in 1983 and since then have risen through the ranks of automotive manufacturing and today exports cars to over 50 countries around the world.
The Proton brand has been on sale in the UK since 1989, with a loyal customer base, and the new Proton Research and Development facility means that consumers can now expect Proton to deliver more unique, stylish and attractively priced cars. Proton made a major step in upgrading its engineering capabilities when it acquired a share in Group Lotus. Since the acquisition, personnel from Lotus have been involved in Proton's new model development at the design and development centre in Malaysia. Lotus is firmly established as a successful manufacturer of sports cars and as a leading engineering consultancy, with a continuous heritage of success through innovation. The purchase of Lotus Cars in 1997 was more than just a simple acquisition to pad the balance sheet, Lotus has added genuine quality and expertise to all new Proton products. The first Proton car developed with Lotus involvement was the Satria GTi launched in 1999, the result was a superb handling hot-hatch' capable of humbling some of the more well known and much more expensive brands. The Satria GTi was awarded 4-stars from respected car magazine, Evo, proclaiming that the Proton was a "really satisfying drive". Proton was quick to use Lotus in the development of all subsequent car launches. With perhaps the most significant car in Proton's history, the GEN-2, launched in the UK in 2004, the car was totally designed and engineered by Proton and Lotus, but was also powered by a CamPro engine; built by Proton with the help of Lotus.

Complaint about Twiggs commissioner's pay raise prompts review
A dispute about a few hundred dollars' pay for Twiggs County commissioners has called into question whether they have been overpaid for some time.
Tommie Lee Bryant, the commission's District 1 representative, filed a claim Wednesday in Magistrate Court of Twiggs County against the four other members of the commission and County Manager Glenn Barton.
Bryant is demanding $469.56, plus $100 in unspecified costs. He says his paycheck should have included a 2.5 percent "longevity" raise since January 2009.
"They refused to pay me what belongs to me under the Georgia law," Bryant said.
He said he doesn't know if his fellow commissioners have seen the increase in their paychecks.
"I'm not concerned about the rest of the commissioners. I just want what belongs to me," Bryant said.
He said he has served on the Twiggs County Commission for 24 years, longer than anyone else on the board. Since his 2008 re-election, Bryant said he's been entitled to a 2.5 percent raise, based on a recent state law.
That part is not in dispute. Twiggs County Attorney Tom Richardson says there's no question Bryant should get the raise, and he's said that to commissioners themselves.
"I totally agree that he's entitled to it, as is any other commissioner who was re-elected," he said.
The question is whether Bryant and others may have essentially gotten it already, because the Twiggs commissioners' pay may have been improperly calculated for years, Richardson said.
Commissioners aren't paid much for what's officially a part-time job: The chairman's base salary is just $7,200 a year, while commissioners such as Bryant start at $5,400, Richardson said. But several variables can add to that, such as occasional cost-of-living increases.
Richardson said he advised commissioners to turn the tangle over to Bob Bennett, a certified public accountant with Giddens Bennett & Co. of Cochran, the auditor for Twiggs County.
"I just told them, 'You need to get it right,' " Richardson said.
Twiggs County Commission Chairman Ray Bennett said the auditor's report should be ready within a couple of weeks.
"We've taken the issue that he's raised, which I'm entitled to myself, by the way ... and we have asked our accountant to give us a review of our records of payment," Bennett said. "Anything that he's due or that anyone else is due is going to be certainly made up or paid up. The indications were that it had already been included in our computations."
This isn't the first time Bryant has argued for higher pay, Bennett and Richardson said. But one previous effort was negated by an apparent mistake in record-keeping.
"Mr. Bryant felt like he was entitled to a 3 percent increase in his commissioner's salary based on local legislation, which was enacted back in 1999," Richardson said. "It turned out that that legislation was never approved by the state Legislature and never became law."
When that measure failed, Bryant turned to the longevity statute, which sparked a closer look at how incremental raises had been calculated across the board, Richardson said.
"In looking at that, I think the question had come up as to whether they might have been paid too much," he said.

text: From an early age I've enjoyed art. I would lay on the floor listening to the radio and scribble away on a piece of paper. I've spent a lot of time doodling and as a result feel drawn to art and design. Recently, especially with the writing on this blog, I've felt a similar draw toward writing. It is another form of art, being an expression of my thoughts. It may ultimately end up being as challenging as design, or more so, but I'm willing to experiment and give it a try. Being able to share my thoughts with others in a concise manor is a goal I'm striving towards.

On March 29, Collier County District 5 Commissioner, Bill McDaniel and Representative, Diaz-Balart spoke at the Immokalee library to give details about the $13 million that Immokalee was awarded in a Federal TIGER, (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery), grant. Thanks to both men who know and constantly fight for the needs of the Immokalee community. Most important, since the majority of citizens in Immokalee walk, the grant will be used to create 20 miles of concrete sidewalks on the following roads: Madison Ave., W Alachua St., Jefferson Ave., Broward St., Adams Ave., Charlotte St., Washington Ave., Dade St., Roberts Ave., Flagler St., Jerome Dr., Glades St., S 9th St., Hendry St., and Stockade Rd.
The grant will also be used to create a one mile of shared-use path, which will provide a place to walk, bike, and skate. Additionally, 20 miles of drainage, ditch and swales, will be upgraded. Furthermore, the grant will provide help people who take public transportation by providing 22 bus shelters, including construction of a bus transfer station at the Immokalee Health Department located at 419 N 1st St.
Commissioner McDaniel further adds the grant will enhance the streets of Immokalee by providing: "Comprehensive lighting improvements that include five miles of street lights in over 120 intersections… and five miles of bike boulevard network…", which is a network designed to make riding a bike safer when riding near traffic. The grant will also provide: "35 benches, and 25 bike racks, 32 intersection enhancements…" including new signage. "This initiative, with the congressman's assistance, and Collier County's contribution… {is} direly needed…" for the community.
Representative Diaz-Balart states: "It was a tough year for South Florida… the good news is that it will recover. We passed the most generous Hurricane bill in the history of the country…TIGER is usually a small portion of programs and this one is huge." Diaz-Balart has been pushing for this money to be sent to Immokalee for years but did not find encouraging progress. He attributes the new administration and particularly to the secretary of transportation, Elaine L. Chao, for helping Immokalee obtain this grant. Immokalee's community can look forward to these positive changes.

Joanna Sit -- two poems
When Michael Johnson of English
Comp. 150 asked what it meant,
I told him, "something
that doesn't last long. You know,
like the half-life
of a dream, a bubble
that you pop
inside childhood,
some would say that
another word for it
is 'fleeting,' but it's not
a synonym
'cause 'fleeting' implies
flight, movement, a kind
of elusiveness, and if you
really want to look into it,
'fleeting' is a word made
dishonorable by Jason
and all pirates of his kind,
fleet stealing the fleece plus
the killer girl (later he'd be sorry –
but more on that in your Intro.
to Lit class), birth of Aphrodite
and the Trojan War, blood soaked
ships sailing on winds of sacrifice,
sands of Iwo Jima, smell of napalm
on China Beach, the word
is different from that, as you see,
'cause it has no movement,
no history, no promise
of violence, maybe a trace
of pink in the sea foam
from a dying soldier…
note that it is constant,
but not, it's there but for a moment,
and the moment depends
on what you think of time -
long enough, not enough,
but it's enough, as in the relativity
of time, which you can read
about in your advanced physics
class, except you wouldn't learn
about the mass of loss, how
much that weighs, and the speed
in which it travels in
its own light, or missing
something that was never there,
a word whose noun you can collect
in plural, bid on its history, which
brings me back to
the point that it's not
like the idea of the temporary
even though neither can be
traced. We, shameless, try to
give it time, or definition,
like jail in place of guilt.
At the end, temporary only implies
coming constancy and promise,
rewards of waiting for another
that's not and so in this case
there's hope and in that, a sense
of return, so temporary is the lover
filling in for love (the word made
flesh, the word made mortal), a way
to wait for reincarnation, some
redemption when you keep the moment
for more permanence, like
the cotyledons of ferns,
the coleoptiles of grass,
the true subject of Whitman as opposed
to the true cause of Dai Yue's Lament
of the Flowers in Dream of the Red
Chamber (also later, when you take World
Lit in your Junior year) would be
the leaves of the cactus pear,
blooms on the cherry tree
and everything you see
and everything you know.
Daylight Saving Time
It's going to get dark
early soon, night barging
in before we have a chance
to eat at the table, even if
by "we" I mean
the rest of the world
outside these windows, even
if by "eat" I mean drink,
even if by "chance" I mean
no choice but
all of this, without
invitation or rejection
a gust of wind raises
the curtain, a leaf having enough
looses itself from the elm
and the end of day.

GDC's Dr. Favier's Op-Ed on Abortion Provision Implementation in Ireland
GDC Board member Dr. Mary Favier explores factors in implementing the new law and allowing abortion provision with general practice as part of a comprehensive reproductive and sexual health service.
The implementation of the law and the initiation of abortion provision will be constrained by the time needed to pass legislation, to ensure licensing of medication, and to establish evidence-based procedures and protocols to ensure that the highest standard of care is delivered. Fortunately, it is anticipated that many general practitioners will welcome this new service and preparatory work in order to facilitate abortion provision already has been done by many of those involved in the field.

President Bush moved on Friday night to try to stem potentially damaging election-year questions about his military record and whether the White House mishandled intelligence threats before the Sept. 11 attacks.
In dual announcements capping a week of intense political pressure on Mr. Bush, the White House said it had decided to release all documents from the president's National Guard files and, within hours, disclosed that Mr. Bush would appear before a commission investigating the terrorist attacks.
But the hundreds of pages of National Guard files contain no new evidence and are unlikely to change the basic standoff between Mr. Bush and the Democrats, which is where, when and how often the president showed up for duty from May 1972 to May 1973.
The White House maintains that Guard payroll records, a dental exam that Mr. Bush had in Alabama and the undisputed fact that he was living there during the time in question definitively prove that he turned up for duty. Mr. Bush's critics say the documents prove only that he had his teeth checked in Alabama on Jan. 6, 1973.
The White House has been consumed for days with responding to attacks on the president's truthfulness, especially about his military service 30 years ago.Continue reading the main story
The only document in the two-inch-thick stack that puts Mr. Bush in Alabama in that period is a document that the White House released on Wednesday, a copy of a dental exam performed at Dannelly Air National Guard base in Montgomery on Jan. 6, 1973.
The documents also include glowing reports from Mr. Bush's superiors on his performance as a pilot in training.
''Lt. Bush is an exceptional fighter interceptor pilot and officer,'' Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian wrote in an evaluation dated May 26, 1972, when Mr. Bush was serving in Texas. ''He eagerly participates in scheduled unit activities.''
Colonel Killian added that Mr. Bush's major strength was ''his ability to work with others.''
The White House released the documents with little advance notice at 6:30 p.m., after much of the staff had left for a long holiday weekend. It seemed to be as much an effort at public relations as an attempt to quiet Mr. Bush's critics, at least temporarily, by demonstrating the president's willingness to be open about his military service.
The announcement that Mr. Bush would appear before the 9/11 commission came less than a half-hour later, shortly before 7 p.m., in a short statement e-mailed to reporters by the White House. In it, the White House said Mr. Bush had agreed to a request for a private meeting with the commission, which is led by Thomas H. Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey.
There was some indication that the president wanted to swiftly address two nagging controversies that had dominated the White House press briefing room and much of the television airwaves and was in effect going home for the weekend and trying to start afresh next week.
''He sees the silliness going on in the briefing room,'' Dan Bartlett, the White House communications director, said. ''He says, 'Put it out.' ''
Republicans, who had grown increasingly restive as the White House found itself under attack, generally applauded the moves.
''Bush is seeking to get back on offense, and good for him,'' said Rich Bond, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee. ''By settling these two items for now, Bush can move past them.''
Scott Reed, a Republican strategist and the campaign manager for Bob Dole in the 1996 presidential contest, said it was good idea that Mr. Bush meet with the 9/11 commission in private. ''They were wise to shut that door quickly because no president should have to go through that,'' Mr. Reed said.
In announcing that Mr. Bush would submit to questions from the Sept. 11 commission, the White House statement suggested that the president would not appear in public but would meet with a delegation of the commissioners in private.
''The president has agreed to the request,'' the statement said. ''While the chair and vice chair have suggested the possibility of a public session at a later time, we believe the president can provide all the requested information in the private meeting, and there is no need for any additional testimony.''
It was unclear how much of Mr. Bush's testimony would eventually be made public in a commission report. But commission officials said that much of the testimony might have to remain secret because it would almost certainly deal with highly classified intelligence matters.
Commission officials said that a letter requesting testimony from Mr. Bush had been delivered to the White House only late on Friday afternoon. On Thursday, the commission announced that it intended to seek testimony from Mr. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore, as well as several senior White House officials and cabinet officers in the Bush administration.
Commission officials said that they had a tentative commitment from Mr. Cheney, Mr. Clinton and Mr. Gore to submit to questioning as well.
''The commission is delighted that the president has responded favorable to the invitation to appear at a private session,'' said Al Felzenberg, the panel's spokesman. ''There will now be meetings between the commission staff and White House aides about time and place and format.''
The decision to accept the commission's invitation for testimony carries political risks for Mr. Bush because it will be the first time he has been subjected to extensive outside questioning about his actions in the weeks and months before the Sept. 11 attacks. He also could be questioned about whether he had intelligence before Sept. 11 that suggested a catastrophic attack was being planned on American soil.
In addition, Mr. Bush can expect to be questioned extensively about an intelligence briefing report that he received on Aug. 6, 2001, that suggested that Al Qaeda might be planning a major terrorist attack using commercial airplanes. The White House has declined to release the briefing papers but has confirmed news reports that they contained the warning.
The commission, known formally as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, has required all of its witnesses at public hearings to be placed under oath.
But it has generally not required witnesses who testify in private sessions to be sworn in, and commission officials have said it was unclear whether Mr. Bush would be asked to testify under oath.
Mr. Felzenberg said it was also too early to say if the commission would press for Mr. Bush to appear at a public hearing as well. He said the letter to Mr. Bush on Friday afternoon requested a private meeting but also noted that the commission would ''welcome'' public testimony, as well.
Mr. Bush, who initially opposed creation of an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11 attacks, has had a strained relationship with the panel.
Until Friday, Mr. Bush had been unwilling to say if he would submit to questioning from the panel.
In a similar way, the White House went back and forth all week on how many of Mr. Bush's National Guard documents it would release. In an interview Sunday on ''Meet the Press'' on NBC, Mr. Bush promised that he would release his entire military file, but Mr. Bush's aides backed off that pledge this week, saying that Mr. Bush would only make public those documents ''relevant'' to his service.
They moved Friday night to end the dispute by releasing all the documents, which they said had only arrived in Washington on Friday afternoon from a National Guard personnel records center in Denver.
''This is absolutely everything,'' Mr. Bartlett told reporters.
Many of the previously unreleased documents that the White House made public on Friday were Mr. Bush's National Guard medical examinations from 1968, 1970 and 1971, all of which certified him for flight training in Texas.
The White House also more definitively explained than it has in the past why Mr. Bush skipped a 1972 National Guard medical exam, which has been a source of enormous speculation from Mr. Bush's critics, who have suggested he did so because drug testing was introduced around that time.
The records show that Mr. Bush was suspended from flying beginning Aug. 1, 1972 because he failed to take the exam. His last flight exam was on May 15, 1971.
Mr. Bartlett said Mr. Bush missed the exam because he felt there was no reason to take it. Mr. Bush, he said, had begun his training in 1968 with the Air National Guard in Texas, where he flew a fighter jet, the F-102. When he moved to Alabama in 1972 to work in the Senate campaign of a friend of his father, Mr. Bush transferred to an Alabama unit of the Guard that did not fly the same plane. Because there was no way Mr. Bush could fly planes in Alabama, Mr. Bartlett said, he did not bother to report for the medical exam.
Mr. Bartlett acknowledged that his explanation would probably not stop Mr. Bush's critics. ''They're never going to be satisfied,'' he said. ''Their intent was not the truth. Their intent was trolling for trash.''Continue reading the main story

|Staring after winning the STK1000 race in Aragon
Photo: WorldSBK
One of the new boys to the MotoGP grid, Gresini CRT rider Bryan Staring took some time out of his training schedule to have a brief chat with us prior to the start of the 2013 season.
Staring is Australia's only contender in the top class for 2013, after the retirement of Casey Stoner. Previously a multiple Australian SBK champion across several classes, he spent last year in the World Superstock Championship before signing to ride the Gresini FTR-Honda in late November.
Here's what Bryan had to say…
A couple of questions about you and your background…
How did you originally start racing?
I started racing in 1992 on a PW50, my Dad was always into bikes and raced a bit of motocross. He's a fan of all motorsports so it was easy for my brother and I to get into at a young age. We lived in a small country town called Norseman (800km to Perth city), then moved back to perth and it all got more serious through all junior MX classes.
Is there a particular reason you run #67?
I've nearly always run #67. From my first ever national championships in 1994 I used 67. I've had a few other numbers here and there but 67 stuck. As a junior in Australia usually your first number represents the state you're from. 6 being Western Australia. I'm particularly thankful Shakey Byrne didn't race CRT as I'd have to find a new number haha.
What's your career highlight so far, prior to moving to the GP paddock?
I've won championships in 125, Supersport and Superbike in Australia. My 3 wins in Superstock is also a big achievement for me, but I screwed up the championship, so there's a bit of a chip on the shoulder of that highlight. I also scored a top 10 on the Pedercini World Superbike. That hasn't been done too many times, so it was a good result for me.

This year…
How are you feeling going into this new chapter of your career?
Excited, nervous, anxious and proud. Pretty much all of them at the moment. I've been racing bikes for a long time and nothing happens overnight, so I'm happy to be in the GP's.
Is there a particular aspect of racing in GP you're looking forward to (e.g. circuits, bike, tyres, the competitors etc.)?
All my life I've sacrificed what ever I've had too, to be sure I was competing against the best riders possible. I want to see how good I am, and now I've got that opportunity. And it comes with the cool stuff now, like the quality of the bikes and teams.
What can you tell us about how the negotiations for the ride occurred?
Well actually, of all my options, this one fell together. To be fair I didn't have a table full of contracts to choose from. It was only at the last moment Gresini contacted me, I'd never considered a move to the GP paddock as it's always seemed a bit unobtainable. Once I realized the Gresini offer was real and not a friend playing a bad joke on me, it was an easy option.
What's your opinion of CRT?
I think it's easy to say, if it wasn't for the introduction of this class, a rider like myself wouldn't have an opportunity in MotoGP. So in that regard it's a great category. The rules, regulations and future of the category isn't for me to decide. All I can say is it's awesome that I get a chance.
Do you think the gap to the prototypes will be shortened this year or we'll have to wait for the rule changes in 2014?
I have no idea. All I know of the GP's is what I see on TV and read in the magazines. I hope in the second year of CRT the gap will be closer, Moto2 made huge lap time improvements 12 months after it began. Maybe CRT will be the same? Although I expect CRT will never compete with MotoGP. And 2014 is way too far down the road to concern me at this stage.
Since Dorna now basically run MotoGP and WSB, there has been talk of the STK1000 class in WSB being replaced by a Moto3 style championship… What's your opinion of the Dorna take over?
It's really hard to say. Other then WSBK going to Superstock specifications in 2014, I don't know Dorna's plans. I think the next 3-5 years will see a lot of changes inside motorcycle racing. In my opinion it's possible that only 1 world championship could exist. All we know is Dorna have the power to do anything! We have to trust they'll make the right decisions for the sport's future.
Do you think being on a completely different bike will hinder a 'traditional team-mate relationship' between you and Alvaro? Will you be able to share useful data?
I can't see us sharing too much data. Other then a vegemite sandwich I'm not sure what I can offer him. Although I'll bet he could help me a lot, as I'll have so much to learn. If I can get a tow for a lap at the start of a session I'll be happy.
What do you get up to in the winter to prepare for the coming season?
Just the usual, I'm a pretty keen cyclist and have a lot of motocross experience from my junior days. So that's what takes up most of my SUMMER days here on the Gold Coast of Australia where I live.
What are you hoping to achieve this year?
It's an unknown. As lame as it may sound, all I can do is my best. I'm a realist, and I'm prepared for a very tough first half of the year. With enough time I think we'll put it all together. We'll see but all in all I'm confident we'll do well
A massive thanks to Bryan for answering our questions, you can follow him on twitter @BryanStaring67 to hear all his latest news.

Easy Butternut Squash Soup
If you're following along with me on Instagram then you know I recently started the Whole30. If you're not completely familiar with the program you can read more about it here.
One of the hardest parts of the Whole30, outside of the sugar withdraws, is figuring out what the heck to eat for every meal of the day. There are a lot of resources out there but, if you're anything like me, you never know if someone else's meals are going to be to your liking.
So, while I do have a handful that I can trust no matter what, I usually like to take what I already know about cooking and just use Whole30 compliant ingredients. Cue this butternut squash soup.
I saw the original recipe on the Pinch of Yum website and knew that I needed to create this for super simple lunches throughout the week. There were only a few ingredients, it sounded delicious and Lindsay, the blogger behind POY, is one of the few food bloggers that I completely trust.
So here we go!
Easy Whole30 Butternut Squash Soup
1 12oz bag of cubed butternut squash
2 garlic cloves
1/2 white onion
1 1/4 compliant almond milk ( I use Trader Joe's unsweetened original almond milk)
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes
Dice garlic & onion and sauté until soft
Add in butternut squash & toss for 1-2 minutes
Transfer to a blender & add in almond milk
Blend until smooth!
**store in sealed container for 1 week or freeze and use later!
Keep coming back or follow me on Instagram to see the Whole30 meals I create this month!
With gratitude,

Attorney General Martha Coakley's Office has entered into an agreement with pharmacy chain CVS Pharmacy, Inc., after an investigation revealed that the company was overcharging public entities for various prescription drugs under the workers compensation insurance system.
Under the terms of the settlement, filed late last week in Suffolk Superior Court, CVS will make a payment to the Commonwealth and to approximately 200 cities and towns in Massachusetts totaling $2.65 million.
The city of Boston will receive $60,000 in restitution, and the cities of Brockton, Lowell, Fall River, and Springfield will each receive refunds in excess of $10,000. Other cities and towns will receive lesser amounts, based on the volume of overcharges applicable to those towns. On average, the municipalities will receive approximately $4,500 each.
"Towns and cities are under a great deal of economic stress, and every dollar counts," said Attorney General Martha Coakley. "Here, the towns and cities were overcharged for prescription drug purchases. Through today's action, we have recovered that money directly back to the cities and towns, returned more than $1.3 million for Massachusetts' taxpayers, and worked to prevent such overcharges from happening in the future. We appreciate CVS' cooperation in resolving these matters."
According to the Assurance of Discontinuance, CVS allegedly overcharged Massachusetts towns, cities, and other political subdivisions on prescription prices for drugs by $1.3 million since 2002. Under the terms of the settlement, CVS will re-pay these overcharges, and will also pay an additional $1.35 Million to the Commonwealth's general fund. The settlement is part of an ongoing investigation by the Attorney General's Insurance and Financial Services Division of prescription overcharges by pharmacies to public entities under the workers compensation insurance system. The Attorney General filed similar settlements with Shaws Supermarkets earlier this year and with Stop & Shop in 2009 to resolve similar overcharge issues.
This matter was handled by Assistant Attorneys General Peter Leight and Glenn Kaplan, and by mathematician Burt Feinberg and economist Bryan Lincoln of Attorney General Coakley's Insurance and Financial Services Division.

Live Review:Jay Reatard
Peeking out from beneath a mop of wavy hair...The Echo, Los Angeles, Friday June 12
Jay Reatard must be thinking just one thing when he takes the stage in front of a sweaty, packed house this Friday night: 'It's [I]on[/I].' Starting up a few minutes ahead of schedule, the Memphis wünderkind and his two bandmates don't waste a second before tearing through what feels like 30 songs in as many minutes, hardly letting us catch our breath as they power through one high-octane number after another.
The humidity in this place is off the charts as sweaty bodies rub against each other and people spill their beers while trying to snake through the furiously moshing and pogoing throng. With something like 900 songs in his catalogue, it's not easy to keep track of which of his many albums or EPs he's drawing from, but does it really matter? The testosterone-laden jolts deliver their intended effects, making us forget our stressful working weeks and shed any pretences of being cool as we air-guitar with abandon.
Reatard says hardly a word aside from shouting out a few song titles like 'Oh It's Such A Shame' and 'See/Saw'. The tunes from his forthcoming album, 'Watch Me Fall', jostle comfortably alongside older material, sounding a lot like the Buzzcocks' demented nephew on steroids. It doesn't matter that Glasvegas are playing at a cemetery across town or that Swedish post-punks Love Is All are at the club downstairs – there's nowhere else we'd rather be. Never one to overstay his welcome, Reatard shouts, "This is our last song!" at the half-hour mark, and blasts through his final number before pulling a lucky punter up onstage to play his guitar while he stagedives into the crowd where he's pelted with beers and vodka tonics. Before we know it, Reatard has left the building, and we're chanting "Let's go, Reatard, let's go!" Once again, the clever fellow has abided by the age-old axiom: always leave them wanting more.

Voice 1: Show us a sign!
Voice 2: Make us understand!
Voice 3: If you can explain, we will believe!
All: We confess, Holy One, that often our faith is conditional. We trust you when we can see where you are going, and we believe your word when it makes sense with what we already know. The rest of the time…our voices can often be heard in the midst of the crowd demanding that you meet our expectations. Forgive us. Help us to trust where we have not seen. Teach us your way, foolish step by foolish step, until we find ourselves living your wisdom. Amen
Submitted by Rev. Teri Peterson
Creator God, you made us to live together with you. We confess that we are sorely tempted by the opportunity to be our own gods. We admit to you that we have tried shortcuts to wisdom—we think we know what is best, when really we know just enough to do harm to your creation and your beloved people. Forgive us for acting so arrogantly out of our limited human perspective. Forgive our disobedience, and give us ears to hear your word, and hearts ready to obey your will. Amen.

Creator God, you knit all things together with your infinite wisdom. We confess that we are often foolish, yet believe ourselves wise. We ravage your creation, taking what we want without concern, searching for freedom and happiness, forgetting that our true purpose and joy is found only in you. We seek first our own good, heedless of our place as one strand in the carefully woven fabric of your world. Forgive us. Open our ears to hear you speaking, and our hearts to embrace your purpose. Amen. ~silence~

Holy God, your Son Jesus Christ grew in wisdom as a child.
Send your Spirit to this place that, in the reading of this scripture,
we may, too, grow in wisdom by the proclamation of your Word. Amen.
You are—and we thank you.
You are holy, and powerful, and gracious, and forgiving.
You are love.
You are hope and peace.
You are the One who gives, and the One who calls.
And so we thank you, for your faithfulness, your persistence, your generosity.
Yet at the same time, gratitude may be simultaneously over and understatement…
for we do not understand.
We do not understand why some have more and some have less.
We do not understand why some have floods and others drought.
We do not understand why the earth shakes, or fires rage, or violence erupts.
We do not understand where you can possibly be when we are sick, or worried, or despairing.
And yet…you are.
You are here. You are there.
You are within and among and around.
You remind us that we cannot know everything,
that mystery is called so for a reason.
So we do what we can do—
we come. we listen. we speak our pain and our joy.
we offer ourselves to you,
broken and healed, hopeful and lost, wondering and frustrated.
We bring our hearts, our minds, our bodies,
and pray that you would make yourself known yet again.
May your image shine in each face we see,
and in our own.
May your kingdom be visible in our community.
May your love overflow through our love.
Make us people unafraid to speak truth, to confront injustice, to show compassion.
Draw us near to you, and make us ever more in your likeness,
that all the world may know your healing love.
