Welcome to Sophie's World
– a blog about the world's curious and often unsung corners. And travel with children.
For more information on working with us, please see our Press/PR-page.
About Sophie
Ever since I was a child, I've enjoyed writing. Every job I've had has included a fair share of it – from speech writing for government ministers to random scribbles. Now, I'm a bilingual freelance writer. My work has appeared in various Scandinavian and English print and online media, including British Airways' Business Life, Qatar Airways' Oryx Magazine, Thai Airways' Sawasdee Magazine, the Matador Network, National Geographic's Intelligent Travel and more. I've done my share of guidebook work as well, for NileGuide and msot recently for Fodor's Travel Guides.
And travelling? There's little I enjoy more than hopping off a train in a new city, not knowing what's around the corner. I've lived in New Zealand, Norway and the USA and have visited 113 countries. Or 150, depending on how you count a country. Do I think that's fun? I kinda do.
I was first on an airplane when I was 11 years old. In contrast, my oldest daughter took her first flight at 11 weeks. How things have changed! These days, things have changed even more. I didn't see many families travelling with children outside of charter groups and in the early 90s, my 4-year-old raised curiosity here and there. She must be in at least 100 family photos around South-East Asia. Today, European children are no longer a rare sight in other corners of the world.
In 2002, I adopted my youngest daughter from China. Her first flight was on her first birthday, going from Fuzhou to Beijing; the first leg of her journey home. The memory of that trip still brings happy tears to my eyes. China – and most especially the province of Fujian – will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Random facts:
After high school, I turned down a job as a piano player on an Alaskan cruise ship. (Still haven't made it to Alaska). I adore Black Adder and have had a crush on Michael Palin ever since I bumped into him in a book shop in Takapuna (New Zealand).
About the blog
Sophie's World focuses on two things – the world's more curious destinations – and travelling with children. Unusually for a travel blog, the kids often share their take on things, too.
Quirky corners
We aim to entertain you with tales from around the world, but perhaps most especially from places that may be less familiar. At Sophie's World, we're fascinated by the world's more remote and often unsung spots, such as Skopje, Chisinau, Minsk, Vaduz, Pristina, Mbabane, Maseru and Nuku'alofa. Heard of them? They're all national capitals.
Other interesting and remote outposts we've been fortunate to experience include Arctic Svalbard, Faroe Islands, the Azores, Norfolk Island, Srpska, the Great Rann of Kutch in India's Gujarat province, the five lesser-known Arabian emirates, the fascinating region of the world that is the Caucasus, and the somewhat obscure non-country Transdniestr.
Others we have yet to experience. High on my travel wish list are Kaliningrad, Pitcairn, Afghanistan, Suriname and St Pierre&Miquelon. We dream of taking the Royal Mail Ship to St Helena. Well…, I dream of that. The kids aren't that thrilled about the prospect of the 31-day journey from Europe. Antarctica is another dream – along with South Georgia and the Norwegian island of Bouvet. Just waiting for the youngest to reach the minimum age limit required by the expedition companies – not long now…
But that doesn't mean we don't enjoy the more world's more familiar places. We love Singapore, San Francisco and Sydney. We adore London, Paris and Brussels, too. And whenever possible, we try to see these places with fresh eyes. London may mean Hyde Park and Tower. But it can also mean a thrilling historical walk through 700 years of murder and mayhem. The Caribbean may mean a cruise ship. Or a deliciously slow sail among near-deserted islands in a 30 ft sailboat.
Travelling with children
Sophie's World is also about showing how the exhilarating world of travel need not diminish once you have children. In fact, children and travel can easily be combined. (Hint: It's all about compromise. And enduring the occasional meal at international fast food joints.) You can find a few general tips in this article.
Follow along to the world's curious and unsung corners – mostly with children, sometimes solo.

It's still summer and that means we've got many more hot days of swimsuit wearing and tank top bearing. And if you're like me, you'll want to look your best. However, this heat has kept me inside in the air conditioning, and my tight budget has kept me from the gym. But that doesn't mean you have to be a couch potato.

I'm a big advocate of working out in the privacy of your own home to videos and DVDs versus joining a gym. Not only will you save the money you would have spent on membership fees, you won't have to drive across town, fight bad weather, pack up your entire bathroom, limit yourself to the gym's hours, or worry about not being able to keep up with the class.
Visit Mid-Continent's online catalog and enter "aerobic exercises" in the search engine under the subject line. You will see 189 selections to choose from.
Finding a workout that fits your lifestyle can become a workout within itself. Mid-Continent Public Libraries have a great selection of workout DVDs to pick and choose.
Here are a few of my favorite workout DVD's:
As the weather turns warmer (some days!) this spring, I start to think about getting outdoors to be more active. There are many lawn and garden chores to be done each spring, and that's a nice start. But sometimes, I want to do something that feels less like work and more like fun. That's when I grab my favorite schnauzer, Oliver Dean, and hit the trails! That boy loves to walk--I think he would walk from here to Columbia if I'd do that with him. We always see lots of neat stuff outside when we walk...leaves, deer, squirrels, and neighborhood cats are some of h
It's that time of year again—time to make a New Year's resolution. What will yours be?
There are a lot of New Year's resolutions being made, and one of the classics is weight loss. But with the winter doldrums hitting, it can be difficult to make an exercise plan and stick to it. MCPL has several books on exercising, dieting, and weight loss—all designed to help you lose those cookie induced pounds from the holidays.
Everyone's heard of Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser fame, but just recently, I became acquainted with a Ms. Kelly Coffey-Meyer through MCPL.
For years, I used a standard exercise bike in my home. However, as the years passed, the seat became more and more uncomfortable (notice it had NOTHING to do with my derriere changing – just the bike seat became more uncomfortable!). In addition, my aging back began to complain about the forward leaning position. While visiting a bicycle shop, I tried out a recumbent tricycle (oh yes, we DO go in full circles in life… back to a tricycle!).
On a recent visit to Spain, I found living proof that the Mediterranean diet works. Walking through the streets and people-watching, I couldn't help noticing that the population, as a whole, is incredibly fit and active. There are very few overweight people. For years, scientists have noticed that Mediterranean countries have less obesity and the related health problems: hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. The key seems to be the diet.
I am a runner. It is my main form of exercise, and I enjoy it most of the time. I even compete in local races of various distances several times a year.

My 4 year old daughter likes visiting her pediatrician. He's young and cute and she has a big crush on him. I recently learned that she's going to marry him some day.
I like her doctor, too, but I kinda dreaded her well-baby visits when she was younger. My daughter is
a total klutz not the most graceful girl. And she's always been very headstrong. In fact, it's rare when her legs are not leopard-like with little bruises from jumping off the slide or wrestling with her brother when I advise against it.
I didn't think it was a big deal until one doctor visit. She had to be around 18 months or so because she was going through a rebellious stage at the time, when the ped noticed not only all the black-and-blues on her knees and shins, but these fingerprint shaped bruises all around her butt and thighs.
Something about the way he asked me about them stopped me in my tracks. "OMG! Is he suggesting that I'm abusing my child!?"
I wasn't doing anything of the sort, of course. And I was pretty certain no one else was, either. I'm really attune to that stuff, and suffice it to say that I'd search out and destroy anyone who ...
So, did I mention my daughter was going through a rebellious stage at the time?
She would not let me bathe her. She would not let me feed her. She would not let me dress her. She would not let me buckle her into her car seat. And she certainly would not let me diaper her. I'm stating the obvious here when I say you cannot clean a poopy bum properly when the toddler is writhing, jumping, and screaming. Sometimes, for health and hygiene's sake, you have to hold her down. Gently if you can, but firmly if necessary. Thus, the teeny bruises from my fingers grabbing her squishy little butt.
The doctor totally understood, of course, and even chuckled. He explained that bruises, scratches and bumps are as common and normal on toddlers as rain in springtime, but that certain types of bruises on certain areas of the body raise a red flag.
These include bruising on infants, unexplained bruises, bruises in unusual places (upper arms,
hands, ears, neck, buttocks, etc.), and bruises in specific shapes, like a large
bite mark, cigarette burn, or belt mark. All of these could be signs of child abuse. Most times, doctors know how to tell the difference, but not always.
A few moms around CafeMom have shared similar stories of a vigilant doc or day care worker spotting something that turned out to be nothing. But I'm thrilled they're looking. I'll gladly be offended once in a while if it means keeping my little girl safe and healthy.
++Is your toddler covered in bruises? Has anyone ever questioned them -- what happened?
My 2 year old is but he climbs everything and runs without watching where he's going.
My two year old son is a bruise magnet. But then, boys being boys, he jumps off of stuff twice his height and runs around like a maniac!
my toddler always has bruises on her shins. it looks horrible but i know its completely normal for her age. no one has ever said anything about it to me.
My 6yo is the queen of bruises. In the summer her legs are covered from ankle to thigh in bruises. She is such a klutz. My 7yo son looks about the same but he's a boy so you almost expect that. My toddler...not so much. She's pretty good at not falling, lol.
My daughter is 3 and has been accident prone since she was old enough to fall down. Just a few months ago she was running through the livingroom while I was in the bedroom(one room away) breastfeeding my son....she slipped on who-knows-what and smacked the corner of her nose into the coffee table. It looks like someone punched her in the face. I honestly didn't take her out of the house until the bruise went away. What if someone thought we did it? She's always getting bloody lips and bloody noses. It honestly looks like we abuse her, but that's just her. Anyone who really knows her knows that she's always getting herself hurt....she's like a boy. But it still scares me to think that people are saying stuff behind our backs.
My middle daughter has a birthmark on her arm the whole length of it as a matter of fact and depending if she is hot or cold depends on the color, sometimes it is red sometimes it is purple sometimes you can barely see it at all. well I was working for a daycare and my kids went with me and there were two different buildings one for the big kids one for the infant and toddlers. well i worked at the big school and she went to the i/t building and I had explained the birthmark to them and we had been there long enough for them to know it was really a birthmark. but they tried to file a child abuse report anyway so the director just filed the paper in cerrys file and never said anything to me because she knew what it was and she didn't see it necessary to let me know about it till about a month later when i was doing some filing in the office and I came across it i was like wth is this and she explained and so i went down to the other building and was mad and they had the balls to tell me well we just love her and we didn't know if you were hurting her or not. I was so mad and if i didn't work there i would have pulled my kids out fast. I do understand they were just looking out for my dd but I had already told them what it was and we had been there for months so they knew what it was.
My son has been getting hurt since he was born. About 5 months ago he was still banging his head and face on everything and one night he hit his eye with a wooden spoon at grandmas and got a black eye to go with what he had. I was at the ER fo my husband and my mom calls freaking out saying he just had to come in. The Dr. took one look at him and me and said "yep you got a healthy strong baby boy" But the guy intern was asking my husband about me hitting him and after he was back asleep at grandmas I get a knock on the door at 11:45 at night. They were looking all over the house and into everything. I started crying and they had t wake him up and check him all over and he was pissed but safe. Where were they when my husband and I were growing up?
right? like seriously, my dd's other grandparents called on me and my mom because i wouldnt let my dd go over to there house...
my daughter will be 2 in june, and she purposely falls downstairs, fell off the couch (for "FUN" at the age of 7 months, she laughed and laughed), hits her head against the walls, runs into walls and the street....
she has had mysterious bruises for always, she gets random cuts (like the one on the back of her head that no one knows where it came fom) and is overall clmsy...
althoour daycare does suck... she now has a permanent scar under her chin from where she fell on the fireplace at daycare and no ne called me... and the time she fell off the patio cuz the daycare lady wasnt watching and liz hit her head? she had a rug burn all over her forehead and a bruise the size of a can coaster above her eye for ages, NO ONE CALLED ME AT WORK TO TELL ME and ppl thought i was hte one doing these things to her...
hello? mind your own buisness unless a kid comes out and says daddy raped me or mommy burned me here or something, christ!

Hurricane • A memorial cross is being unveiled in honor of a Utah Highway Patrol trooper who died during a search and rescue accident last month.
Utah Highway Patrol officials say a ceremony honoring Aaron Beesley is set for 10 a.m. Monday. The cross will be on the property of honorary UHP Col. Don Ipson in Hurricane, alongside 14 other memorials to fallen troopers.
The 34-year-old Beesley lost his footing on Mount Olympus and fell 90 feet to his death during the rescue of two teenage hikers June 30.
The 13-year UHP veteran from Bear River City leaves behind a wife and three young sons.

I don't need the comic strips anymore to add levity to my morning cafecito.
I have Ted Cruz.
When I signed on Tuesday morning to Twitter, the Republican senator from Texas — the Canada-born son of an American woman and a Cuban man — was trending in Miami.
One set of news stories reported Cruz renouncing his alleged Canadian citizenship.
"You can have him!" one Canadian headline said.
Another set of news stories had Cruz saying that President Barack Obama had exempted Congress from the Affordable Care Act.
No, senator, most likely, the well-insured members of Congress will get to pay the "Cadillac Tax."
The over-eager tea party darling, who has managed to annoy fellow elected officials on both sides of the political aisle in his freshman stint, appears to be already eyeing the White House in 2016.
But he was born in cold Calgary, Alberta, in 1970 and lived there until he was 4 years old, a prickly issue for birthers who persecuted Hawaii-born Obama but support Cruz's ultra-conservative views.
"Because my mother was a U.S. citizen, born in Delaware, I was a U.S. citizen by birth," Cruz insisted in a statement. "When I was a kid, my Mom told me that I could choose to claim Canadian citizenship if I wanted. I got my U.S. passport in high school…Now The Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual citizenship. Assuming that is true, then sure, I will renounce any Canadian citizenship. Nothing against Canada, but I'm an American by birth and as a U.S. senator, I believe I should be only an American."
I could hear the late-night jokes already.
But when I clicked on a picture of Cruz's birth certificate, I burst out laughing so hard I spilled my cafecito.
Turns out that Rafael Edward Cruz (the senator's real name) is the son of Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, a Cuban exile from none other than Matanzas — my proud birth place, home to poets, creators of guaguancó music and natives so clever they tricked the first Spaniards to arrive into hopping in canoes and drowned them all in a river. Hence, legend goes, the city's name, which means "slaughter."
So regardless of what Sen. Cruz wants to be, in Miami, he's considered a matancero.
His birth certificate says so.
The last time I laughed this hard was when Mitt Romney coined "self-deport" during a Florida campaign stop, and the first thing that came to my mind was, can I apply for government-funded self-deportation to Paris?
We know how that story ended. He self-deported from the campaign trail back to Massachusetts.
So here's my advice for Sen. Cruz: Sip a sturdy café at Versailles; wear a crisp linen guayabera and take out of the closet the father from Matanzas.
Here — whether we're members of the Italian American Civic League in Wilton Manors or the Alliance Française in Miami or have no affiliation but deep roots that shape our hearts — we honor who we are.
It's our strength, and if there's one thing we loathe, it's a cubano arrepentido, one who denies his heritage.
Maybe the gentler, kinder Canadians will forgive the rudeness, but here the senator will have to buy a T-shirt that boasts, " Mi papá es matancero."
Or forget about the presidency.
But better yet, Houston, you can have him.
Those cafecito stains are tough to wipe off.

There's something fishy going on with the Prince of Darkness. Rolling Stone reports that Ozzy Osbourne has signed on to voice an animated aquatic character named Sid Fishy that will appear on an episode of the Nick Jr. channel's popular pre-school cartoon Bubble Guppies .
The Metal Madman's character is described as a "rock and roll fish who loves being rotten." As seen in a photo released by Nickelodeon, Sid Fishy sports a red mohawk, piercings in his eyebrow and tail, and a gold tooth. He also carries a contraption that dispenses green slime.
A Nickelodeon rep tells Rolling Stone , "The green liquid is Sid Fishy's 'stink sauce' made up of different smells such as stinky socks and rotten eggs. He wants to use the stink sauce to cover Big Bubble City and all its citizens to make them stinky."
Osbourne jokingly explains to the magazine that Sid Fishy appeals to him because he's "always smelled a bit fishy."
The Black Sabbath singer also admits that the main reason he was interested in portraying the character was that his 2-year-old granddaughter Pearl loves the Nick Jr. channel.
"She has Nick Jr. on 24/7," he notes. "I can't wait to see her reaction when she hears my voice come from Sid Fishy's mouth."
Bubble Guppies is an education series that focuses on a group of creatures who live in the undersea city of Bubbletucky. No word when Osbourne's appearance on the show will air.

Nearly a quarter of managers in New Zealand have lied on their CV, but they're more honest than their Australian counterparts, a study has found.
The survey conducted by Galaxy Research on behalf of recruitment company SHL found 24 per cent of managers have lied on their resume, compared to 14 per cent of all employees.
It found 15 per cent of managers made up or exaggerated their work experience, compared to 7 per cent of all employees, and 9 per cent changed information about how much they earned at their last job, compared to 5 per cent of all employees.
In addition, 6 per cent listed false qualifications (compared to 2 per cent generally).
The only number in which the population at large were more deceptive than managers was in getting a friend or partner to act as an employer referee: 3 per cent of all people did this, compared to 2 per cent of managers.
The researchers surveyed 410 New Zealanders aged 18 and over who were employed at the time.
The New Zealanders surveyed were on average either more honest in their CVs than Australians - or less willing to tell the researchers the truth.
The Australian survey found 39 per cent of managers lied on their CV, compared to 25 per cent of employees on the whole.
It found 18 per cent of managers made up or exaggerated their work experience, compared to 13 per cent of all employees, and 13 per cent of managers changed information about their earnings in their last job, compared to 6 per cent of all employees.
"In the current economic climate, job seekers are still trying to cover-up weaknesses in their resumes to appear more suitable for prospective roles. Employers need to remain vigilant," SHL Australia and New Zealand managing director Stephanie Christopher said.
"It's alarming to see that managers are the worst offenders for misrepresenting themselves to employers."

Types of Human Subjects Review
Expedited Review
Research activities that (1) present no more than minimal risk to human subjects, and (2) involve only procedures listed in one or more of the following categories, may be reviewed by the IRB through the expedited review procedure authorized by 45 CFR 46.110 and 21 CFR 56.110. The activities listed should not be deemed to be of minimal risk simply because they are included on this list. Inclusion on this list merely means that the activity is eligible for review through the expedited review procedure when the specific circumstances of the proposed research involve no more than minimal risk to human subjects.
Examples of expedited review include, but are not limited to:
IRB Review Process
Under an expedited review procedure, the review is carried out by the IRB chairperson or by one or more experienced reviewers designated by the chairperson from among members of the IRB. In reviewing the research, the reviewers may exercise all of the authorities of the IRB except that the reviewers may not disapprove the research. A research activity may be disapproved only after review in accordance with the non-expedited procedure set forth in §46.108(b).
Application Submission
Please submit one (1) original hard copy of the IRB Application for review with all accompanying materials (i.e., Informed Consent Form, instrumentation, debriefing statement) and required signature(s). Please submit the IRB application to Siena Hall, Room 219 in care of Alfredo Medina.
Full Board Review
Full board review involves a convened meeting at which the majority of the membership of the IRB are present, including at least one member who primary concerns are in nonscientific areas.
IRB applications that involve the following areas may require full board review:
IRB Review Process
Under the full review procedure, this type of review is first determined by the IRB chairperson after careful examination of the application submitted. For the research to be approved, it must receive the approval of a majority of those members present at the meeting. The PI may be requested to attend a full board meeting to discuss the proposal and answer questions posed by the IRB. A typical full review may take between 1-3 months before a decision is rendered.
Application Submission
Please submit one (1) hard copy with original signature(s) and eight (8) hard copies of the IRB Application with all accompanying materials (i.e., Informed Consent Form, instrumentation, debriefing statement). Please submit the IRB applications to Siena Hall, Room 219 in care of Alfredo Medina.

What makes a champion? Yes, it is winning more games than your rivals. But a successful season starts long before the first game. It is about conditioning, be that weightlifting, doing sprints, running and running and running some more. If you out prepare your opponents, train harder and practice longer, it will show up in ways that most fans will appreciate, but never understand.
Jesus was a champion! Before you starting thinking it came easy for him, think again. In John 10:17-18, we find out Jesus knew exactly what his mission entailed: it was to die. Of all the ways ever invented by man to kill, crucifixion ranks up there as one of the most torturous. Yet, Jesus accepted this because it was the road he had to take to be the champion of all champions.
Paul puts some perspective on this in Romans 5:6-8. Jesus came to die, not for the "good people" but rather for the enemies of God, sinners. "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." For me and for you, my friends. You see, we all need a champion and Jesus became our champion by dying on a horrible cross. The older I get (and I am getting old, kids!) the more I realize how much I need what Jesus did for me. His death brings the spiritual healing I need from my sin and the empty tomb gives me true hope beyond this life.
In case you have not noticed, the world is becoming a more dangerous place. Middle school children are violently killing people, including teachers who offer them help. Chemical addiction is on the rise (so let's make marijuana legal – that will help!!???). Depression among teens and adults is on the rise. Our culture is failing to address these and other issues properly. In fact, the culture is adding to the issues.
What we need is a champion! Not just a conference winning football team (Go Tigers!), but a true champion that will eternally be undefeated. I strongly suggest Jesus is the only champion worthy of our faith and following. Besides his empty tomb, there is the fact that no other person in history has changed the world more, period! I will put my champion up against all others.
Please find out more about this Jesus of Nazareth, a.k.a. Jesus Christ. If you need some help, look me up. I would love to talk about why Jesus is my champion with you. Here if you need me, neighbor. Enjoy the day!

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A former Milwaukee County aide to Governor Scott Walker conceded Thursday that there's enough evidence to order a trial on four felony charges against her.
Kelly Rindfleisch waived a preliminary hearing on 4 counts of misconduct in public office. She's scheduled to enter pleas on March 20th.
The 43-year-old Rindfleisch was Walker's deputy chief of staff when he was the Milwaukee County executive.
She was accused of using her county work hours to raise money for Republican Brett Davis's unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor in 2010. Davis is now the state's Medicaid director.
Rindfleisch is one of four ex-Walker aides charged as the result of a John Doe investigation. That probe continues by the Milwaukee County district attorney's office.

Listen now 28 mins
"The Island" is what everyone calls it. The Isle of Sheppey is a forgotten corner of Kent, an island 11 miles long tucked behind London at the mouth of the Thames and the Medway. The harbourmaster looks out from her high-tech tower within a Napoleonic era fortress over thousands of craft who plough the strait heading for the port of Sheerness, laden with bananas and cars. At the far end of the island from the port, vast acreages of caravans and dumpy chalets spread in serried rows from the sea's edge, ready to house East-End families for the long summer break. In between, birdsong-filled marshland fringes the water and the wind ceaselessly tears through the high-standing reeds. Sheppey boasts three prisons and once housed glass factories ('the Bottleworks') and Royal Doulton ceramics ('the Potteries'). The steelworks recently closed and now only Sheerness port, with its huge inflow and outpouring of motor vehicles and soft fruit, timber and wood-pulp keep industrial wheels turning. Unemployment is high, and prospects are low.
A modern road bridge now connects the island with the rest of Kent, which many regret; yet Sheppey remains a lonely place and not easy to reach; special, they say; strange, other.
Jean, Glenn, Ray and the rest of their large extended family have lived almost all their lives on Sheppey - they tell a tale of hard lives, tough times, and of a place they love, that has shaped their lives and that they'd not leave willingly.

by Jeff Wasielewski, former Assistant Curator of Tropical Fruit
Why do we prune? Most of us know the reasons: to create healthy trees by removing dead wood and awkward branches, to promote fruit and flower production, and to create beautiful trees. But all too often we prune for the wrong reasons... for example, because our friendly neighborhood landscaper planted a large tree directly under a power line. Trying to transform a big tree into a small one usually results in an unhealthy tree and an eyesore.
True pruning is an art. It takes intelligence, time and thought. It begins and ends with the tree. Before you make your first cut, study the tree's natural shape. Try to maintain that shape. Study its interior. Look for unhealthy conditions such as included bark, dead wood, or crossed branches.
Included bark occurs when two branches or trunks grow so close that they join as their width increases. A wrinkle occurs where they join and, more importantly, the included area dies, weakening the branch or trunk. A tree with co-dominant leaders tends to have included bark and has a strong chance of splitting. Included bark can be remedied by removing the smaller of the two branches, or the one supporting less of the overall mass. However, if the diameter exceeds six inches, don't remove it. The resulting wound could do more harm to the tree than the inclusion. The tree can be saved by heading back the branch you would like to remove. These cuts will suppress the pruned branch and allow the unpruned branch to grow and become the tree's dominant leader.
Dead wood offers a prime entry point for pathogens like bacteria and fungi. Carefully cut any dead wood away, avoiding the live portion of the tree. Leave a half inch of dead wood. If you make your cut into the living area, the tree will have to re-heal. This is the only time that leaving a stub on the tree is considered correct.
Crossed branches are unhealthy. Remove the smaller branch or the one that has been damaged the most.
Now that you have made the obvious pruning cuts, step back and really look at the tree. Your mind is as important a tool as your saw. You must decide what your goal is. Do you want to head back the tree to keep it at a desired height, or do you want to thin it to open it up?
Heading back a tree is cutting its canopy branches back to the nodes, or growing points.
Thinning a tree is removing a small number of branches back to the trunk.
The earlier you make pruning decisions, the better. Envision the tree in a year, or in five years. How will today's cuts affect the tree's future appearance and health?
Finally, decide if the tree needs to be lifted. Are the lowest branches too low? Will the tree be more attractive if you raise the canopy? Most trees look better when lifted. I like to see a tree with a trunk, not a thirty foot shrub. To lift the canopy, remove the lowest tree limbs all the way to the trunk.
Make your cuts correctly.
The branch "collar" is a swollen area at the base of each branch. Leave the branch collar on the tree, and never remove more than 30 percent of the foliage. Avoid injuring the branch collar; it is critical to healing the pruning wound. You won't need to use pruning paint if you make your pruning cuts correctly.
Many landscapers prune a tree extensively to make sure their customers know they have done their work. Some remove as much as half or even all of a tree's foliage. Others remove the entire top portion of the tree's canopy, a practice called hatracking. You might as well take an ax and hack away at the trunk, because you won't do much more damage. Hatracking opens up the interior of the tree, making previously shaded portions vulnerable to sunscalding. Hatracking also takes away the tree's energy-producing canopy and causes massive regrowth at each cut. When you cut back one branch, it comes back as three or four. This holds true even in the largest of trees. The weight of several new branches can be substantial, creating a dangerous canopy for trees in a hurricane zone.
It is not necessary for a tree to look pruned. Every cut causes some amount of damage. Therefore, a competent pruner removes as little as possible, making only cuts that will benefit the tree in the long run.
The art of pruning requires intelligent decisions from the very beginning, starting with choosing the right tree in the first place. The greatest job of pruning I ever saw was done by my father-in-law. Outside his window he wanted a tree so small that he could always see the entire plant. He planted a Senna polyphylla, a yellow-blooming tree which grows no taller than eight feet. He has never had to prune it once.

At the Chicago Auto Show that is scheduled to start tomorrow, Buick will bring the 2012 Regal eAssist, a new model added to the current Regal line-up that already includes the 2.4L and 2.0L Turbo models, and the upcoming Regal GS . The new model will go on sale this fall. The same technology has been recently unveiled in the 2012 Buick LaCrosse .
"Buick's eAssist technology means customers don't have to trade a premium driving experience for efficiency," said Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing. "We believe Regal and LaCrosse with eAssist provide more logical and affordable choices, compared to other hybrid midsize and full-size luxury sedans. It's really an extension of the conventional internal combustion engine, not a replacement for it."
The new eAssist technology combines a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a small electric motor powered by a 115-volt lithium-ion battery. The result is an improvement of 20% in fuel economy.
Hit the jump to read more about the 2012 Buick Regal eAssist.
The exterior and the interior
Compared to a standard 2012 Regal, the eAssis version only received minimal changes, including new lightweight 17-inch alloy wheels and tires with lower rolling resistance. On the interior the new model gets a powerflow readout in the 7-inch infotainment screen, which shows the flow of energy through the electric assist system, such as battery charging from regeneration and electric power directed to the engine.
The engine
The new eAssist technology combines a 2.4 liter Ecotec direct injection four-cylinder engine with a 115V lithium-ion battery and latest-generation 15-kW induction motor-generator unit that helps increase fuel economy through regenerative braking.
The eAssist system's 115V air-cooled lithium-ion battery bolsters the 2.4L Ecotec four-cylinder engine with approximately 11 kW (15 hp) of electric power assist during heavy acceleration and 15 kW of regenerative braking power. The system also enables the Ecotec engine to shut down fuel delivery in certain deceleration conditions, which saves additional fuel. While in fuel shut-off mode, the induction motor-generator unit continues spinning along with the engine to provide immediate and smooth take-off power when the driver presses on the accelerator. Then, as the vehicle comes to a stop, the induction motor-generator unit spins the engine, bringing it to a smooth stop – properly positioned for a smooth restart.
With a total output of 182 HP, the car's engine is mated to a new six-speed automatic transmission.
The competition
according to BUick, the new Regal eAssist targets models like the Acura TSX and the Volkswagen Passat CC . The TSX is offered with a choice of two engines: a 2.4L inline four cylinder engine and a 3.5L V-6, while the Passat CC gets a 2.0T engine tat delivers 200hp at 5100 rpm, and 207 lb.- ft. of torque between 1800 and 5000 rpm.
The new 2012 Buick Regal eAssist will go on sale later this fall. prices will be announced at a later date.
- Improved fuel economy
- Cool technology
- Good-looking interior
- Not as impressive as the GS version
- Less powerful than competitors

In the event of a fire, a landlord's property insurance will not cover damages to a tenant's property, except in rare cases. It is advisable for tenants to purchase renter's insurance to guard against damage to their possessions. Every home-owner's insurance policy in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which insures multi-unit residential property (except for some school dormitories) against loss or damage by fire must provide a benefit of up to $750 (without the deductible) for each rental unit, to cover the actual costs of relocation of any tenant or lawful occupant displaced by fire or for damage resulting from fire. These funds will reimburse a tenant for some out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of the fire.54
The landlord of any residential or commercial property, upon the written request of any tenant or lawful occupant, or of any code or other law enforcement official or of any official of the municipality in which the property is situated, shall disclose in writing within fifteen days of such request the name of the company insuring the property against loss or damage by fire and the amount of insurance provided by each such company and the name of any person who would receive payment for a loss covered by such insurance.
The landlord of the property is required to notify each tenant or lawful occupant in writing of the benefits payable under this clause at the beginning of the lease or tenancy period. This requirement cannot be waived, and violations of the provisions of this section are punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars.55
Insured tenants and landlords should document their possessions. Dated receipts, photographs and videotapes are excellent ways of documenting possessions.
A representative from the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services is called to every fire that displaces residents in the City of Boston. The representative will coordinate city services and resources to help fire victims obtain immediate shelter and will direct them to area housing agencies that can assist them in finding more permanent housing.
The Mayor's Office representative will be in close contact with the Inspectional Services Department's Building and Housing Divisions regarding the fire. A building inspector can help determine whether the building is stable and write an unsafe and dangerous violation that requires corrective action be started within 24 hours if necessary. The Building Department receives a printed notice of every fire, which includes an estimate of the amount of damage incurred. The housing inspector can determine whether the property is fit for human habitation. Depending on the extent of the damages, the building inspector can require repair work to commence within 24-hours or 30 days. Once work has begun, as long as it is progressing, there is no specific time frame for completion. A building must be inspected prior to re-occupation.
The site must be secured within 24 hours. The Inspectional Services Department can help in securing the site, which might include boarding up windows and entrances and cleaning up dangerous debris.
As soon as possible after a fire, both tenant and landlord should obtain a copy of the fire report prepared by the Boston Fire Department. Landlords and tenants will need this document for insurance claims and if they need to search for new housing. Displacement by fire is a ground for priority one status for applicants for Section 8 and project or development-based subsidized housing.
Independent insurance adjusters will often be found at the site of a fire offering their services to both landlord and tenant. Insurance adjusters can provide valuable services such as assistance in the preparation and filing of insurance claims, but there is a charge for these services, which is often based upon a percentage of the total claim paid. It is important to shop around for a trustworthy and reasonably-priced insurance adjuster, and to get a signed contract.

5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- Stocks are trending higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500 hitting multi-year highs and the Dow Jones Industrial Average flirting with the key psychological level of 13,000, following a better than-expected consumer confidence data. The positive consumer confidence came close to sending stocks skyrocketing, but a disappointing report on durable goods orders and housing kept equities in check.
Durable goods orders fell 4% in January, which marked its biggest drop in almost three years, according to the Commerce Department. Home prices fell for the fourth straight month in December, with 18 of the 20 cities tracked posting a decline. On the plus side, consumer confidence jumped to a one-year high in February, registering 70.8 vs. Wall Street estimates of 63, according to the Conference Board.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar off Bullish Earnings
At last check, the Dow was trading higher by 23 points, and the S&P 500 was advancing by 3.7 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was trending up by 18 points. If the market can manage to punch through and close above that key psychological level on the Dow at 13,000, then we could easily see stocks continue to trend higher in the very short-term. This action will force the bears to cover some their short positions as many sectors and stocks continue to breakout and trend higher.Trading breakouts is not a new game on Wall Street. This strategy has been mastered by legendary traders such as William O'Neal, Stan Weinstein and Nicolas Darvas. These pros know that once a stock starts to break out above past resistance levels, and hold above those breakout prices, then it can easily trend significantly higher. Here's a look at several stocks that are setting up to break out and potentially trade higher from current levels.

Earth Day Yard Clean-Up
Published on Saturday, April 23, 2011 - 1:08pm
To celebrate Earth Day, we had a leaf raking party at the library on Saturday, April 16. Miss Julie, Miss Heather and three of our most loyal patrons raked up and gathered 20 big garbage bags full of old leaves from the library yard. We also pruned a few bushes and removed a dead tree!
Whew, we really worked hard–and we want to send a special thanks to Necole, Jenise and Zaria for being such a big help. Also thanks to Faith Wheeler for extra bags, gloves and for taking this great picture of us at the end. Happy Earth Day, everybody!

Catch 22
Edmonton Journal article today had some interesting quotes from coach MacT on Marc Pouliot. Reading the tea leaves, it may be awhile before the young forward returns to the NHL. Coach MacTavish was quoted in the Jim Matheson article as saying "he gets caught trying to make offensive plays that aren't working, then he doesn't have the quickness to get back. He can't chase the puck back because he doesn't skate great."
Based on Pouliot's resume he should have grabbed the job by now. He scored well as a 17-year old and blossomed in junior after that whenever healthy. His minor league seasons were quality (he was his AHL team's MVP and his 20-year old AHL season implied his offense at 21 would be similar to Jarret Stoll's, according to Desjardins' NHLE) and he showed flashes before this season in his NHL play.
Injuries have been a factor, and his move at the beginning of training camp (to make way for Cogliano and as it turned out Gagner) to right-wing had their own impact. But when the coach says (again from the Matheson article) "maybe we're wrong to play him as a role guy on the fourth line, so you give him some power-play time — but he doesn't have any goals or any assists. He could make a play at times, but you have to have some offence" it's pretty hard to make an argument against that statement based on the current situation and quality of play.
I think Pouliot will have an NHL career and he is a solid option for this Oilers team. He needed to be better though, and his inconsistency may have cost him his chance to prove himself NHL worthy. With the Edmonton Oilers.

Fabio Capello's Kings Of Rome
It ended with them besieged by their own supporters who, hungry for souvenirs, preceded to strip their heroes of those famous Giallorossi shirts, shorts, socks, vests, literally anything they could get their hands on to remember the occasion. It was a day they would never forget.
Everything about that sunny afternoon back in June 2001 was almost perfect for AS Roma as they ensured they took the points necessary to guarantee what would eventually prove to be only the third league title in the club's history. Even the three names on the score-sheet – Francesco Totti, Vincenzo Montella and Gabriel Batistuta – perfectly reflected a season which had seen them lead Serie A from start to finish. It was a campaign that was perhaps the most dominant by AS Roma since they were formed back in 1927.

Eden Sirene moves with an almost "otherworldly" grace. Eden, better known as Jenna Conti, feels at home wearing her custom made silicon mermaid suit.
"It makes me feel amazing makes children smile makes adults smile, everybody happy, you don't expect to see a mermaid at the pool," Conti said. "I'm a 48-year-old man and I get a big smile on my face seeing her swim," said bob Abruszzese, a neighbor.
The problem is, the tale about her tail doesn't appear to have such a happy ending -- at least not yet. Monday, she learned from her community board that she cannot wear her outfit in the pools at Fishhawk Ranch. The Community Development District saying it's a safety concern, and that there's a "no-fin" policy.
Rules are rules, they say.
"This can't come flinging off in a pool like swim fin, and it's not made of a hard plastic," Conti said. "We love what's she trying to do, be kind to children and do something good for the community. We love her intentions -- it's simply that it violates rules," said board chair Terrie Morrison.
So it looks like this little mermaid won't be able to swim freely, but she says the silver lining is all the support she's received from the community. She says despite the setback, she still plans to reach her ultimate goal of swimming underwater at the Florida Aquarium. Perhaps then, this mermaid will find the fairytale ending.
"We just wanted to show some magic here in Fishhawk, that's all," she says.

Unreal Engine 4 videos show off tech demos
As promised, at E3 Epic properly lifted the wraps off its next-generation engine, Unreal Engine 4. While the real-time cinematic teased before is jolly nice and all, the real highlight is a good long look at the tech and tools themselves.
"It is up to Epic ... to motivate Sony and Microsoft not to phone in what these next consoles are going to be. It needs to be a quantum leap," Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski recently commented. "They need to damn near render Avatar in real time, because I want it and gamers want it--even if they don't know they want it."
Of course, the PC is used to show off these demos and will happily keep pace with it all.
Square Enix also showed off its new engine, Luminous Studio, with the Agni's Philosophy tech demo. Nvidia was around too, to show off real-time characters on its GPUs with A New Dawn.
If you simply want to watch a pretty thing, here's that UE4 'Elemental' demo:
But the real meat and potatoes is in this ten-minute walkthrough, showing off specific effects and capabilities of Unreal Engine 4. It also demonstrates how remarkably clean and simple the editor and workflow are for developers, which will surely save a fair few hours and headaches:

A Kentucky Senate Committee voted that Kentucky should ignore any new gun regulations from Washington DC that are passed after January 1, 2013.
But not everyone agrees with this decision, including "Organizing for Action" in Kentucky. The group came together for a candle vigil in downtown Lexington today to give a voice to the many innocent lives lost due to gun violence.
"Gun violence has affected so many families and so many lives," Keidra King, with Organizing for Action. "This is an issue that just affects all of us."
OFA said the goal of the "They Deserve a Vote Now" candle vigil was to send a message to Congress to reduce gun violence.
They aren't the only organization holding gun rallies though. Last month a group of gun enthusiasts rallied at the capitol in Frankfort against any new gun restrictions.
