Jump Rope Exercise Routines
You may think jumping rope is just an activity for children, but it can actually be a great exercise for adults as well. Including jump rope exercises in your workouts can improve the strength in your arms and legs as well as strengthen your cardiovascular system. It is also a great way to keep your workouts varied and fun.
Double Leg Jumps
Double leg jumps might be one of the routines you performed with a jump rope as a child. Basically, you want to jump with both feet at the same time. This routine might get a little boring or seem like less of a challenge than other routines. However, it is an effective exercise for balance and foot speed as well as endurance.
Alternate Leg Jumps
Alternate leg jumps are a little more challenging. Basically, you want to stand and jump with one leg on the first jump and then switch to the other leg to jump on the second jump. You would keep switching from the left leg to right leg with each jump, always standing on only one leg at a time. This exercise obviously requires a lot of balance and is a great workout for your leg muscles.
Criss Cross
The criss-cross routine is a bit more tricky and will take some practice to master. As you are jumping over the rope and it goes under your feet and over your head, you want to cross your elbows over each other and jump through the rope again. You need precise timing to get the rope around you without missing. This exercise is one you have probably seen boxers use during their workouts. It is a great exercise for endurance, foot work and coordination.
Double Unders
Double unders is another routine that will take some practice. Basically, you want to jump over the rope twice in one jump. As you leap, the rope should make two full revolutions around your body. So, you will need to jump high and swing the rope quickly around your body. This is an effective routine to use mixed in with other routines or as an ending to a routine. Alone as an exercise, it will take some time to master. However, it will help you with your jumping abilities and speed while improving the strength in your arms and legs.

text: Photosynthesis and respiration determine the carbon and oxygen (O-2) balance of ecosystems. Current methods used to estimate ecosystem respiration (ER) do not include diel ER fluctuations, which limit testing predictions about short-term drivers of ecosystem metabolism. Diel changes in delta O-18(O2) can be used to estimate diel ER due to discrimination against O-18(O2) during respiration. We monitored diel delta O-18(O2), O-2, light, and water temperature in three Wyoming streams and measured respiration fractionation (alpha(R)) against O-18(O2) in dark benthic flow chambers in two streams. The ranges of measured and literature alpha(R) values were used to estimate uncertainty in metabolism parameters associated with not measuring alpha(R) directly. Daytime ER was 54-340% higher than nighttime ER using delta O-18(O2), but diel ER parameter estimates were highly uncertain relative to traditional estimates of ecosystem metabolism. Diel variations in water temperature only accounted for 4-55% of the range of diel ER calculated using diel delta O-18(O2). Measured benthic flow chamber alpha(R) varied within the range of literature values: from 0.9755 to 0.9954. Metabolism parameter estimates were very sensitive to choice of alpha(R) within the measured and published range of values. The mean and uncertainty of diel ER estimates increased with decreasing alpha(R), with daily ER more than ten times higher given an alpha(R) of 0.975 vs. 0.999. Diel changes in ER can be modeled using delta O-18(O2) and O-2, but diel ER estimates depend on the choice of alpha(R), suggesting the need to better understand how alpha(R) may vary within spatial and temporal scales appropriate for delta O-18(O2) metabolism models.

Sounds like fun right? Well it is!
Friday Night I went to my friends trailor with her, her boyfriend, her great dane Titan, and her asshole of a cat named ....I dunno we'll say patches. -Just kidding it's misty, I wouldn't forget your cat's name then come back and revise my post later when I remembered to make it look like I never forgot... NOOO I wouldn't do that (LOL) We ate some food, played some cards drank some margaritas and cold beers, Ashley took a shot of sauza and barfed -it was her idea to do the shot of death, she lost, all is fair. All fun stuff, all fun stuff!
Freaks \/ \/ \/
/\ /\ /\ Freaks
I remember going to sleep on the 'couch bed' with the great dane and waking up next to a cat, slightly wild trailor times.
It was such a beautiful day the next day we went for a walk with the dog and just had a nice relaxing evening.
On Saturday, I had my girl after supper when she came back from her sleepover at my little brothers. We played some games, watched a movie, she made me a cheese sandwich. I'm telling you she makes the best cheese sandwiches for a four year old. -Although mayo gives me the WORST god forsaken heartburns ever! INSTANT HEARTBURN!
Then later that night her dad got home and we all curled up with the dog in a single bed and slept. Or well some of us slept. I was pushed uncomfortably into the wall the whole night. gonna try and make a diagram of how I sleep night time when were at stephens moms, no one should have to live like this.
|This is us in a single bed. We simply do not fit, or at least I don't. Not to mention the blankets are under the dog and the mans feet and over maybe one and a half of my legs. I swear I'm the only one who gets cold too LOL
Next week I think I'm gonna try and stay sober. Me and my girl are having a weekend home. Finally!

Expanding its ChipArray® Ball Grid Array (CABGA) package form factor miniaturization efforts, Amkor now offers a maximum 0.40 mm height CABGA assembly process. Amkor's latest CABGA process has been extensively demonstrated, evaluated and optimized to provide reliable, high-quality production. By extending CABGA capabilities to various competing near die size packaging options, customers can obtain the benefits of this low-cost packaging alternative from an advanced, well-proven manufacturing process with widely available high-volume manufacturing (HVM) capacity while achieving high I/O integration. The new package addresses the requirement for ever continuing IC component size reduction in the electronics industry. From this study, wire bond CABGA has proven its capabilities and potential for continuously and effectively competing with existing and emerging advanced packaging options.
The wire-bond ChipArray® Ball Grid Array or CABGA package is a very popular packaging option. The CABGA package provides versatile solutions for a broad array of semiconductor products used in a variety of automotive, industrial, computing, networking, consumer and mobile applications. In addition to offering high performance and flexible signal routing capability for high I/O count devices, the CABGA's small footprints and thin form factors make it a member of the so-called near die size packaging category for single-die products in the semiconductor industry. Continuously expanding capabilities in mobile handsets has always required a continuous reduction in all semiconductor components form factor, both footprint and height. To keep up with the industry's size reduction pace, the wire bond CABGA packaging process has faced many issues in key process areas. Amkor has successfully and continuously developed advancements to address these challenges.
This paper introduces and reviews Amkor's latest achievement of developing a maximum 0.4 mm height fine-pitch ball grid array (FBGA), called X2FBGA (Table 1) to denote a double extreme thin FBGA form factor. It discusses key challenges and actions taken to make the assembly process feasible and bring solutions to market. It will also review the X2FBGA's advantages and potential position among the various near die size packaging options available in the market, such as the Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package, routable QFN package, flip chip chip scale packaging (fcCSP) and wafer-level packages.
Table 1) Amkor's ChipArray BGA offerings: low-profile fine-pitch BGA (LFBGA), thin-profile fine-pitch BGA (TFBGA), very fine-pitch BGA (VFBGA), very very thin-profile fine-pitch BGA (WFBGA), ultra-fine BGA (UFBGA), extremely-thin fine-pitch BGA (XFBGA), and X2FBGA
Background/Problem Statement
In recent years, advanced package options are very diversified in terms of form factors, substrate technology and the enabling process technology (see Figure 1). For single-chip packaging, the QFN package has achieved large market share among leadframe-based packages as a fast-growing option. QFN evolution extended its multi-row I/O capabilities in peripheral land construction that is similar to designs of area-array I/O of the laminate substrate FBGA package. More recently, QFN packaging has further advanced by offering internal trace routing solutions using a pre-molded routable leadframe or a molded interconnect substrate.
On the wafer level packaging (WLP) side, Fan-in WLP (also known as die size BGA or DSBGA) has established another mainstream branch of the advanced package family providing true die-size packaging. The fcCSP uses exactly the same package outline platform as the wire bond CABGA and it enables more complicated interconnecting options and higher I/O count with high efficiency and superior electrical performance.
Today, all of the above packages can achieve a total seat profile less than 0.4 mm. The Fan-in WLP height is determined by the wafer backgrind thickness during the backend process, so it is relatively easy to achieve. For QFN package's mold cap tooling determines the body profile. With 0.25 mm mold cap tooling, which has been commonly used for several years, only the leadframe thickness needs to be included. The fcCSP has the option to expose the die backside on top of package, so its thinness control is a relatively easy way to offer a maximum 0.4 mm profile.

Compared to other packages, wire bond CABGA has more challenges to achieve a thin package profile. The added height of the CABGA solder ball bumps requires thinner die and ultra-low wire looping controls to fit all z-dimension stack-up elements within the thin mold cap space. The extremely-thin fine-pitched BGA (XFBGA) provides a maximum 0.47 mm (or 0.50 mm) height physical profile dimension, and, until recently, it has been the thinnest wire bond BGA achievable using traditional face-up die bond, wire connect and molding process technology combined with a commonly available thin 2-layer laminate substrate. Based on XFBGA thickness reduction, CABGA's miniaturization capability, approaching the IC die size, has been improved by tighter control of die edge to bond ring and the tighter clearance control of die-to-package body edge. This extended miniaturization capability is essential for the wire bond CABGA package to expand its applications in various market sectors especially in mobile devices.
As discussed previously, other advanced packaging options continue to address the need for ever thinner packages. In many cases, the same advancements are required to reduce wire bond CABGA components' form factor. As all the packages continue to improve, there are still many advantages that the wire bond CABGA provides for specific applications – if it meets the form factor requirements.
With its signal routing flexibility and dense I/O integration capability, the wire bond CABGA design is superior to QFNs. Compared to Fan-in WLP, the wire bond CABGA also maintains comparable I/O capability, since the DSBGA I/O number is limited by its own die size. Reducing its ball pitch to integrate more I/O, the DSBGA tradeoffs include SMT quality and yield control issues for finer bump pitch. Flip chip CSP design can overcome these technical issues and provide another effective solution, but it requires a bumping process on the die, which is a major cost addition, especially if the die design does not allow users to enable cheap enough bumping and under-fill methods. In many instances, wire bond CABGA packaging is an attractive solution.
More recently, the fan-out wafer level package (FO-WLP) has garnered a lot of attention by creating a new paradigm of semiconductor integration capability using reconstituted wafer level technology that employs a redistribution layer (RDL) process or even the panel level RDL process. For two or more die (multi-chip) integration, the FO-WLP, using an RDL process with or without interposers plus the package stack, is attracting major interest for applications that require high speed and high bandwidth performance such as mobile application processors.
In contrast, the application of the single die FO-WLP is still being decided in terms of die/package size sweet spot area, although it's clearly shown its continuing growth trajectory for some time. The same situation may exist for some of the relatively simple two to three die integration achievable with wire bond, since there are many existing packaging solutions with process technology and form factor advantages that are low cost and have high volume capacity. For applications where the I/O density requires the package to be larger than the die, CABGA and FO-WLP can be considered. FO-WLP has advantages with regards to ultra-thin packages, and the CABGA format is very cost competitive. Introducing the CABGA at a thickness near the FO-WLP limit, would provide a compelling option for those wanting the best attributes of both. Table 2 shows packaging options with maximum I/O and maximum profile thickness capabilities. The 2~7 mm body size range could be the sweet spot of the market opportunity that wire bond CABGA packages can contribute considering today's die size and I/O number trend.
Taking these factors into account, wire bond CABGA packaging is expected to have significant acceptance and contribute to further growth in this market with continued miniaturization in the near die size packaging field. To achieve a near-term product, the maximum 0.40 mm profile wire bond CABGA process capability was targeted. The main technical challenges in this development occur in four key areas: design, material, process and method.
Table 2) Near die size packaging I/O density options and sweet spot analysis.
Designing the cross-sectional structure and its geometrical details as well as setting control limits during substrate manufacturing and IC assembly processes are the foundations for successfully building the X2FBGA. These areas establish the goals of each process and provide the targets to reach. To achieve the final maximum 0.40 mm BGA height including tolerance limit, the nominal z-height dimension must be reduced; 0.35 mm was set as a final nominal dimension target to allow a +0.05 mm tolerance specification limit. Compared to the existing XFBGA (see Figure 2), this required 28% tightening of overall tolerance in addition to a 12.5% reduction of actual packaging material thickness. Mold tool design, substrate tolerance, and the associated design features to control bump ball height are all required to adjust, tighten and meet the target thickness reduction.
Figure 2) Cross-sectional comparison of the XFBGA and X2FBGA packages construction.
Material selection for mechanical property management is another challenge. The substrate core and solder mask material selection must be stiff enough to withstand and maintain the flatness of the substrate throughout the assembly process. Lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and ultra-thin (40-µm) core material combined with a low-CTE solder mask is required to control the deflection and deformation of the raw PCB substrate and after bake die attach (D/A). See Figure 3.
Figure 3) Substrate in the front end of line (FEOL) process magazine, showing deflections and warpage management.
The mold compound's physical properties were studied and chosen to prevent the molded strip warpage and maintain high quality and productivity during the backend of the assembly process.
Figure 4) X2FBGA picture after finishing assembly
Wafer thinning and strength management, including sawing methods, are also important.
The 50 µm wafer thickness and die handling are performed to prepare for subsequent assembly processes. With this construction, the die top to mold cap leaves a z-space of only about 110 µm. In addition to the ultra-low wire looping control at wire bond process, the review and control procedure of the markable area on the body top surface must be considered during production planning to prevent potential interaction of the laser mark engraving depth with wires. Figure 4 shows the end results.
A micro solder ball formation process with 80 µm or less bump height has been in HVM for many years. Its production capabilities and market acceptance are well established for WFBGA and UFBGA packages. However, in some applications, customers specify a nominal 100 µm bump height as the de facto application requirement. To prepare for and address such an application requirement, an additional 10-20 µm of tooling reduction and adjustment in mold tool and die thickness have also been provided to allow additional bump space in the final package.
To certify its volume production readiness level, the X2FBGA package has been submitted through an internal qualification procedure and reliability tests. With all testing completed, the X2FBGA package passed all qualification requirements. Since this package targets mobile device applications, a conformal electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding process is offered as an option. The BGA form adds challenges in shield coating since the ball bumps require masking to prevent coating material contamination on the bottom side. As a result of targeted efforts in process development for a micro bump BGA conformal shield, Amkor now offers a shield process up to a 100-µm bump height BGA. See Figure 5.
Figure 5) X2FBGA after conformal shielding
Amkor has extensively studied where and how the wire bond CABGA can increase its offerings of advanced miniaturized packaging solutions. As a result, design, process, bill of material (BOM) and method advancements have been developed and implemented into Amkor's manufacturing processes to offer the X2FBGA package's capabilities. Ultra-thin substrate design, sourcing, the right assembly material selection, tooling and process combinations are all available to support a variety of customer needs. Customers are now encouraged to consider the X2FBGA (with other advanced packaging options based on pros and cons) for their IC packaging needs and take advantage of its capabilities to satisfy existing and emerging design requirements.

Pen has nice weight with most of the weight in the top end..has a natural spin to it..easily unscrew quickly and switch sides for real pen and just slide in the tactical point instead of screw on. Has nice sound to it and professional look. Easily wear it with the super tight clip, making a nice sound when deployed. I work in security and this changes the game. Thanks True Swords & S&W!
I recently bought this pen and as the other reviewer enthusiastically said it is a very nice tool. For its size and function it`s surprisingly light and its very easy to write with, I use it as part of my everyday carry kit and so far it has preformed without fail, although I have not had a chance to test the self defense aspect of the pen yet I have no doubt that this would bring the pain. NOTE: The pen is refillable but the ink that Budk currently sells for its pen knives do not fit it. Though seriously this pen will be carried on me for years and I think its up to the test. ANOTHER NOTE: Although the description stated that the pen has a pull off cap it is in fact twist off that requires about 2 and a half turns which is not inconvenient once you start to use it. All in all its a very good product and just a great thing to own.
very good quality product, lightweight and easily do alot of damage in close quarters !!
THIS IS ONE SERIOUS WRITING INSTRUMENT! THE CAP ACTUALLY SCREWS ON AND THE FIT/FINISH IS VERY NICE AND SOLID. THE PEN WRITES QUITE NICELY, BUT OVERALL IT WOULD BE A GREAT SELF DEFENSE ITEM THAT YOU CAN CARRY EVERY DAY AND ANY WHERE. I WOULD DEFIANTLY RECOMMEND THIS ITEM TO ANYONE WISHING TO CARRY A SMALL AND LIGHT WEIGHT PERSONAL DEFENSE TOOL. Editor's Note: Thank you for your comments. We have updated the review to reflect the appropriate spelling.

Tomlin OK as Indians tie White Sox
GLENDALE, Ariz. – Conor Gillaspie and Josh Phegley hit back-to-back homers for the Chicago White Sox on Friday in a 2-2 tie with the Cleveland Indians.
The game was called after nine innings.
Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin went five innings, his longest outing of the spring. He allowed four hits, including the two home runs with two outs in the fifth. Tomlin walked nobody and struck out five.
Gillaspie, acquired by the White Sox in spring 2013 from the San Francisco Giants, took over at third base. The former first-round pick hit 13 homers in 2013, but he ended the season with a .245 average after batting .311 in April.
"My goal was to not perceive so many game situations as super stressful. It can easily consume your life," Gillaspie said before the game. "I don't want to be like that. I spent too many years doing that."
Chicago's Dylan Axelrod, making his first start of the spring, pitched three innings. He walked two, gave up two hits and walked none.
Chicago's Dylan Axelrod, making his first start of the spring, pitched three innings. He walked two, allowed two hits and walked none.
David Cooper doubled and scored the Indians' first run in the seventh, and drove in the tying run in the eighth with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly against Daniel Webb.
Starting time
Tomlin walked nobody and struck out five in throwing 66 pitches. He retired the first eight batters before Phegley doubled. He was so efficient he went back to the bullpen and threw 10 more pitches.
"I felt great," Tomlin said. I felt like I was locating the ball well — fastball, cutter, changeup and curve. That was the main thing we wanted to execute today."
Tomlin had elbow surgery in 2012 and didn't pitch until August 2013. He made a couple of appearances with the major league team in September. But his arm is in good shape now, he said.
Manager Terry Francona also was pleased with Tomlin's performance.
"His fastball was sharp, the breaking ball probably has a little bit more power to it than maybe in the past, which is a testament to his work ethic," Francona said. "Coming back from surgery and having a better breaking ball. He did really well."
Axelrod feels as if he's in a familiar role this spring.
"I always feel like I'm the guy who has to prove himself," said the right-hander, signed by the White Sox out of the independent Frontier League. "I guess even now, I have a little more of the chip on my shoulder or something. I know I have to do the same thing I've always done and work real hard."
Erik Johnson, the leading candidate for the No. 5 spot in the White Sox rotation, pitched five innings in a minor league game.
"I thought I could have worked ahead a lot more," Johnson said. "The curveball could have been thrown for more strikes."
Trainer's room
White Sox manager Robin Ventura said infielder Jeff Keppinger is not able to throw yet. Keppinger has been getting some at-bats at DH, but with Jose Abreu, Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko already having to share first base and DH, Keppinger's limitations potentially are a concern.
"It's hard to set your roster," Ventura said. "Once he gets healthy, we'll have a better idea about that."
Abreu has had some ankle soreness, and played with his ankles heavily taped.
"It looked worse a few days ago. He looks better and is running better," Ventura said. Abreu moved well in the field on Friday and doubled in three at-bats.

Sundowns find rhythm
by TINTSWALO BALOYI
JOHANNESBURG – DEFENDING premiership champions, Mamelodi Sundowns raised the bar when it mattered most following their convincing victory over supercharged Moroka Swallows 2-0 in a match played at Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto on Wednesday.

"PHH GreenFleet" is North America's first comprehensive greenhouse gas management program for corporate fleets. The program helps fleets measure, reduce and offset greenhouse gas emissions. PHH Arval, a leading fleet management company, collaborated with Environmental
Defense Fund to develop the program. Abbott was the first company to partner with both organizations. The GreenFleet program helped Abbott's progress toward its goal of reducing its global greenhouse gas emissions 10 percent below 2004 levels by 2010. As part of the program,
Abbott committed to going "carbon neutral" with its commercial fleet by improving fuel efficiency and by purchasing carbon credits.
The project achieved success by starting with specific goals and objectives and a clear roadmap for getting there. Because each partner actively contributed, each had a stake in the outcome and was able to keep the project momentum going.

On Friday 30th Sept it was National Volunteering Day and all over Ireland volunteers were were helping out in their communities. Camara put out a call asking for a company to come and help give them a fresh start in their new location by giving the kitchen a much needed make over. Abbott answered that call and on Sat a group came over to Camara loaded with paint brushes, step ladders and a lot of enthusiasm to create a brighter and happier space for volunteers and staff at Camara to have a cup of tea! They cleaned, scrubbed, painted and decorated and now the kitchen is like a new place.
We would like to send out a big THANK YOU to our friends at Abbott.

Often, injured workers come to me because they are not happy with their workers' compensation doctor. Unfortunately, most of the time the initial doctor that you are sent to is paid by the insurance company to give opinions that are favorable to them. These physicians, usually from "occupational health clinics" know that unless they side with the employer and insurance company, they will not be sent patients. This means that you are provided minimal care and may even be forced back to work too early. The insurance company does this to avoid paying you the income benefits YOU DESERVE. Remember, insurance companies are in the business of saving money, not paying the full value of claims.
I believe the practice of insurance company providing substandard care is wrong. As an injured worker, you should receive state of the art medical care. You should also be able to see a workers compensation doctor who is unbiased, and will give a fair opinion to all parties. If you are getting substandard care, or suspect that the workers' compensation doctor is biased toward the insurance industry, you may need an independent medical examination (IME). Under Georgia law, If you have an accepted workers' compensation claim and have received income benefits within the last 120 days, the insurer must provide you an IME at their cost with a doctor of your choosing. This is a benefit that the insurance company will usually not volunteer to you.
If the IME doctor identifies a condition that has not been diagnosed by your treating physician, and has a treatment plan for you, the State Board may require the insurer to switch your care to the IME doctor or a doctor who can adequately treat your condition pursuant to the IME doctor's advice.
The bottom line is this: The insurance company will often try to control your workers compensation claim by using their hired physicians. Having an experienced workers' compensation attorney can guide you through the process to ensure you get the treatment you need. This means that you get the benefits and settlement dollars you deserve.

text: In 2012, marijuana was officially legalized in the state of Colorado. This was done as a sort of "controlled experiment" to see the affects of legal pot in America. Thousands were ecstatic with the news, and thousands more were equally outraged. The question I asked myself is why it took so long. Pot is a psychoactive drug, meaning it reacts with certain receptors in the brain to cause the euphoria or high that users experience. The potential immediate side effects while on THC include problems in complex thinking, memory, perception, and the potential loss of motor skills. This to me sounds not far off from the immediate side effects when on a different legalized drug, alcohol. And yet alcohol is legal. So if both of these drugs act and behave in a similar way then why is only one of them legal in all fifty states? One of the main worries with the legalization of pot in Colorado was high driving, and while the nation's deaths caused by a driver on drugs in 2012 (not limited to pot but excluding alcohol) was about 4000 the amount of deaths caused by drunk driving was over 10,000! So why is the one that is "more dangerous" more regulated than the other? A huge concern with pot also happens to be that it is often cut, or mixed with other, more dangerous substances in order to "hook" its consumers. But if pot was legalized and regulated nationally by the FDA, they would be able to regulate in a way that made it safer and purely THC, without all the dangerous additives. Then there are the potential profits. The State of Washington alone estimates in five years it will make 1.9 billion dollars in profit from the legalization of marijuana. Multiply that by 49 and you get 93.1 billion dollars in five years due to nation wide legalization. We could reinvest these profits as a nation in things like subsidizing higher education or welfare programs. People have been smoking weed for hundreds of years illegally, and they aren't going to stop now, so why don't we as a nation profit from it as well?

District News Articles
For many, a lush green lawn is a symbol of proud homeownership as well as a pleasant place on which to relax or play. Lawns, however, require a lot of water--water which, depending where you live, may be in short supply. As we become more aware of our impact on the environment -- and our need for it -- we search for ways to use energy more efficiently and conserve water. Using water efficiently not only saves money, but also helps the environment. Most of us over-water our lawns, so the most important thing that we can do is learn how much water our lawn needs and the best times and methods to deliver the water. Below are tips to help you to determine if your lawn is need of watering and tips to improve your irrigation efficiency:
How to Determine Your Current Soil Moisture Level
· The goal of watering lawns is to create deep, drought-resistant roots. In general, grass needs about 3/4 inch to one inch of water per week to maintain its color and growth.
· To check the moisture level in your grass, dig a 12-inch-deep wedge of soil from your lawn or garden. Observe the amount of moisture in the sample and water your lawn only if the top six inches of soil are dry.
How to Water Your Lawn Efficiently
· Minimize water runoff by watering in fifteen- to thirty-minute sessions every other day rather than in one long, continuous session.
· The best time to water your lawn is between 5:00 and 10:00 a.m. In the afternoon, water is lost due to evaporation and wind. Watering at night can promote fungus growth. The second-best time to water is between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m.
· Make sure your sprinkler heads are adjusted to water the lawn (in case you switched them to water plants).
· Check sprinklers regularly to ensure that they are free of clogs and that there are no holes or tears in the lines.
· Spread the water evenly across the lawn. Sprinklers vary in distribution patterns and require spray overlap for uniform coverage. Placing coffee cans or similar straight-sided containers on the lawn will help you measure water application rates. Avoid flooding areas or missing spots. On heavy clay soils and slopes, watch for excessive runoff; it may be necessary to apply the water in several applications to achieve adequate penetration.
· Monitor rainfall. Don't water the lawn if rains are expected soon. Keep track of rainfall for the week.
· Water the lawn once your grass begins to discolor and wilt. If you aren't able to keep the grass green, water your lawn with at least half an inch of water every seven to fourteen days, which will keep the plants alive even if they are dormant.
Green Industries of Colorado (GreenCO) has produced two helpful fact sheets How Your Sprinkler System Can Save Water and Money and Water Conserving Tips for HOAs and Large Commercial Properties as well as an informative video Sprinkler Tips to Save Water, to aid you in improving your irrigation practices.

technology is not the innovation/
If you're a decision-maker in your organisation my guess is that you're already looking to your mid horizon and observing the approaching wave of change and disruption headed your way.
Digital disruption is reshaping our economy and workforce and shifting the boundaries of competition. It is increasing the rate of societal change. And it's changing the way we do business. Deloitte estimates that 65% of Australia's economy will feel the impacts of digital disruption by 2017*.
So it's not news to anyone that the only way to respond to digital disruption is to adapt and innovate.
And that said I think many of us are missing the central point in the innovation debate. Because we've erroneously made innovation synonymous with technology. The innovation discussion has been almost entirely subsumed by references to digital communications, digital platforms, big data and social media.
As a result we've lost sight of a greater truth; that technology is changing us as people, as consumers and as a society.
While technology is fundamentally important to our businesses and should be a key focus of strategy and operations, we also need to look beyond it.
Because technology is not the innovation; rather it is the driver and enabler of innovation.
What we need to be more cognisant of is how digital technology is changing us; who we are, what we care about, what we value.
Over recent years the increased access to information has given consumers more choice and more power. Today's customers – business and consumer - have an expectation we will tailor our products and services to their specific needs. Because communications are instantaneous they expect us to respond to them in real time (via the communications channel they choose).
And the convergence of digital and social is creating opportunities for companies and customers to create and participate in shared communities of interest. Increasingly we see customers not just commenting on products, services and experience but also reaching out seeking to participate in communities around products or ideas they care about.
This is exactly what we should be tapping into: the changing expectationsand needs of customers, and their willingness to communicate and share their ideas.
Innovation begins not with technology but with the creation of innovative customer value. And the creation of customer value is dependent on a deep insight into customers and their changing needs and expectations. It is the result of deep immersion into customers and their world.
Those insights can lead to the creation of new and innovative value; value that may well be enabled and facilitated by the wonders of technology.
Technology should be considered from two key perspectives:
- Firstly, how is technology changing our customers and broader customer markets, both now and into the future? How will it shape what customers value, what customers need and how they behave?
- Secondly, how can technology help us to deliver exceptional customer value both now and into the future? How can we apply technology to know customers better, communicate with them more meaningfully, and create products, services and experiences that provide exceptional customer value? How can technology help us extend into new markets spaces and capture new demand?
Alone, technology is just innovation without value. Start with the customer and technology creates innovation that is valued – the only type of innovation that succeeds.

"NAKITA'S BIG QUESTION by Roberta Hoffer is a delightful story book for kids. Nakita is taken to a new home by Amy. She is not lonely anymore. She has a new bed and sleeps in Amy's room. She realizes that she is not in the city anymore and is now living on a farm where there are lots of other animals. She meets Clara the cow, Percy the pig, and Garth the goose, but her best friend is Cassandra the cat. Nakita is leading a comfortable and happy life on the farm, unlike the lonely time when she was in the pen. Nakita finds out from Cassandra that she is a dog. What kind of dog is Nakita? Will she get to know that? Will anyone answer that big question for her? The book has a good educational theme where kids are exposed to farm life, idyllic scenes and the different types of animals found on a farm. They have a lot of new things to learn from this book. The illustrations are lively and they give movement to the characters and the scenes. This will make a perfect bedtime story book and can also be used for read aloud sessions in libraries and classrooms. Books like this are good for children because they not only help youngsters to read and understand through pictures, they also help to envision life in a farm, learn about new animals and many new concepts which will widen young readers' thinking." ~ reviewed by Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite [FIVE STARS]

Shortly after the release of Ninja Theory's Enslaved, reports of audio issues began to surface over the game's ability to provide 5.1 surround sound as advertised. The sound glitch was only isolated to PlayStation 3 owners. Thankfully, it looks like the problem will be resolved shortly.
Community manager, Dominic Matthews, announced on the Ninja Theory public forums that a patch to fix the audio glitch is indeed on the way.
Thanks for your patience on this. I can confirm that we are working on a title update for the PS3 version that will add support for 5.1 Dolby Digital over optical cables. Our aim is to release this at the same time as the DLC, the release date of which has not yet been confirmed.
Anyone who is also noticing that their copy of Enslaved is only outputting stereo sound, might want to check to see if you are using an optical connection. We'll bring you more details once we get a solid release date of the DLC and the patch.
In spite of this sound glitch, Enslaved managed to receive a positive critical reception, bringing some fresh ideas to the world of gaming. For more information, check out our review of Enslaved.

The Garforth – GR6S Mines Approved Flame Safety Lamps
Developed from 125 years experience of saving lives, the Garforth is the ultimate in flame safety lamps. It is the recognised means of methane or firedamp detection in the mines of England and Australia and many other areas of the world. They are used by miners everyday the world over. The miners lamps weigh in at 3 3/4lbs and stand 10″ high. Each lamp is issued with full instructions on use and maintenance of miners lamps.
Flame safety lamps also known as Davy Lamps take their name from the inventor Sir Humphry Davy.
The criteria for miners flame safety lamps were laid down in the Coal Mines Act 1911-Test of Safety Lamps-Memorandum, dated 6th February
1913. The main points were:
1. All lamps must have double gauze's or arrangement serving the same purpose i.e.
Marsaut and Mueseler lamps acceptable but not Clanny lamps.
2. A straight edge put between the outside of adjacent pillars must not touch the glass this rules out most lamps with only four pillars.
3. Lamps must be so constructed that they cannot be assembled without the gauze's.
4. Lamps must have an efficient locking device to prevent removal of oil vessel, glass or bonnet by unauthorised persons. This excludes screw locks.
The only real changes since then were the development of the Type GR6S. This is a modified Type 6 lamp usually referred to as a Garforth lamp. Samples of air taken by an aspirator bulb can be injected into an inlet in the side of the lamp below the glass to determine the amount of methane present. This system was invented by UK patent 1048136/1964. Manufacture of these lamps started in the late 1960's and they are still in production today.
The Garforth system bears the name of it's creator who was a Government Scientist. From the 1960's to the 1980's Protector paid a Royalty for the use of the design.
The Garforth system was also installed on Wolf and Thomas & Williams lamps. Both firms also supplied the Ministry of Power which took over the mines on Nationalisation in 1947.

14 Steps to Build a Ladder to Your Own Home Yoga Practice.
Christine Stump
Christine practices yoga and helps regular people own their yoga practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She credits her home practice obsession to her early Ashtanga experience and her longevity to her subsequent eclecticism. After leaving academic philosophy to realize her childhood dream of becoming a paramedic, she became a yoga teacher to understand her own practice more fully. Christine integrates the best of Aristotle and Zen and tailors each individual or small group practice to the people in the room. Her unique understanding of anatomy and physiology integrates her experience as a paramedic with several "flavors" of hatha yoga to support people in finding wholeness, acceptance and freedom in their bodies. Christine's practice of yoga through hip replacement and living gracefully with PTSD have added to her understanding of the infinite modification and applicability of yoga practices.

Get Creative On The Go With Super Mario Maker For Nintendo 3DS
If you own a Wii U and for some reasons didn't manage to pick up one of its most super games (that would be 2015's Super Mario Maker), then you really should just stop reading this and go play the damn thing. However, if you don't own a Wii U and do own a 3DS, then you're now in luck , because Super Mario Maker is available on Nintendo's beloved handheld.
Let's get the bad news out of the way: this 3DS iteration won't let you share your creations as easily as the Wii U's did, nor can it interact with that version at all. Whereas Super Mario Maker for the Wii U allowed you to create levels and effortlessly share them with others online, now you'll have to sync up with another 3DS locally or via "StreetPass."
Still, when it comes to solo play, this Mario Maker in some way surpasses its Wii U predecessor. For one, making levels is more convenient when you're not shackled to your TV and couch. It's nice to just pop in and quickly tweak a level when the urge strikes. Also, in terms of getting right into creating, unlike the Wii U version, now you begin with more tools to build stages with either Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. templates. The only major limitations here is a less visually appealing, zoomed-out look for New Super Mario Bros., no amiibo support whatsoever (an odd omission), and the lack of mystery mushrooms, which were certainly awesome but inessential.
As for actually playing levels, Super Mario Maker on the 3DS features 100 pre-made stages that are not only a blast to play, but will help you unlock new tools to create radder stages that you can hopefully share with your irl friends.
Better still for solo play is Super Mario Challenge, which replaces and updates the Wii U's 10 Mario Challenge. Whereas 10 Mario Challenge was a clever addition to an already jam-packed title, Super Mario Challenge feels like a bona fide 2D adventure, made up of 18 distinct worlds highlighting different items and environments, with the main incentive being to unlock more creation tools. Also unlike before, Super Mario Challenge is a 100 per cent dud-free mix of Mario Bros. new and old. It's worth the price of admission for that feature alone. This is Mario we're talking about.
If you have to go with one version of Super Mario Maker, the Wii U's online versatility clearly makes it the winner. Still, this spinoff's strong offline offerings make it a very tasty holiday treat for newcomers and old-timers alike. So who says you can't get your hands (and stylus) on both versions?
Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS is available now. Check out the latest trailer below:

Sorry I'm a bit late posting this; things have been kind of rough around here lately!
Anyway, I saw a recipe online for this soup, and it sounded pretty good. I didn't have the ingredients it called for, so I made my own version! The one that inspired me was served in a bread bowl, and I think that's the only way this could be improved. So tasty and perfect for a cold winter's day!
Philly Steak Chowder
- 1 box steakumms
- 1 bell pepper, any color, thinly sliced
- 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
- 1T garlic powder
- 1t black pepper
- 1/4t salt
- 1T olive oil
- 2T flour
- 2c cold milk
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Sautee the peppers and onions until soft but not translucent. Add the steakumms a few slices at a time, cooking thoroughly. Sprinkly the flour over the onion/pepper/beef mixture, and stir until you cannot see the flour. Immediately add the cold milk, stirring quickly. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, stirring occasionally. Enjoy!

Lions 419 (Cook 113, Pienaar 3-72) and 219 (Hendricks 63, Richards 4-39) beat Titans 319 (Kuhn 88, Viljoen 5-72) and 114 (Viljoen 3-34, Morris 3-35) by 205 runs
An eight-wicket match haul from Hardus Viljoen led the Lions to a massive victory in the Jukskei derby. Chasing 320 to win, Titans imploded against Lions' pacers, leaving just five wickets to be plucked on the final morning.
The match was over before lunch as Pumelela Matshikwe, who went wicketless despite maintaining exemplary control in the first innings, got among the scalps. Lions' spinner Eddie Leie also claimed a couple of wickets, including the final one to end an all-round dominant performance by Geoffrey Toyana's men.
Lions took control early on, after Titans put them in to bat under cloudy skies on Thursday. A 172-run second wicket stand between Stephen Cook and Temba Bavuma set up their first innings. Cook went to on to register a century and Bavuma looked set to do the same but gave it away when he was on 88, dancing down the track to spinner Roelof van der Merwe.
With Thami Tsolekile marshalling the tail, Lions batted deep to ensure even Cobus Pienaar's late strikes did not allow them to lose the advantage. Pienaar threatened to swing the pendulum with bat in hand. Together with an in-form Heino Kuhn, he put on 158 for the second wicket before becoming Chris Morris' only victim.
After Kuhn was dismissed, Titans lost three wickets for four runs, all to Viljoen, to leave the Titans on 216 for 6. Farhaan Behardien kept the lower middle order together but Zander de Bruyn's late strikes ensured the Lions took a 100-run first-innings lead.
Lions openers pressed home the advantage as Cook and Dominic Hendricks shared a 101-run partnership. Once the openers were dismissed, Rowan Richards struck quickly and Lions were in some trouble at 149 for 4. Not one of their last eight batsmen apart from Tsolekile managed double-figures and even though Titans could be pleased with their bowling effort, it was still a tall order for their batsmen.
The match was over on the third afternoon when Morris ripped through the top order. All the top five were dismissed for single figure scores to leave Titans at 20 for 5 overnight. Lions finished up on Sunday morning to take a morale-boosting win after finishing last in the One-Day Cup.
Knights 324 (Elgar 122, Birch 3-67)and 284 (Van der Wath 77*, Harmer 5-92) drew with Warriors 398 (Ingram 79, Coetsee 4-123)
A final session which seemed destined for a thrilling finish - Warriors were set a target of 210 in 30 overs - was not to be when the captains agreed to call the match off at tea. Instead, this contest was about individual performances as players look to get themselves noticed by the national selectors.
Dean Elgar was the first to put his hand up. He scored 122 in Knights' first innings to push for the Test opening berth. With not much in the East London surface for the seamers, Elgar handled Warriors' pack, with Adrian Birch and Rusty Theron bowling well, with relative ease and steadied Knights after the rest of their top order folded.
His 113-run partnership with Werner Coetsee for the fifth-wicket put his team in a position from which they could total over 300. But it was up to Lefa Mosena, playing for the franchise for the first time in a four-day match, to up the ante. He scored a measured 73 to take the Knights to 324.
Warriors responded with the cool temperament their stalwart Ashwell Prince is known for. He put on 134 runs with David White before being dimissed by another stalwart, Johann van der Wath. The rest of Warriors' line-up all got starts, with Colin Ingram also registering a half-century. Even though none of them could convert to triple figures, they took a first-innings lead of 74.
Knights lost Elgar before the deficit was wiped away as he played down the leg side to a Simon Harmer delivery and was caught behind, but Knights built steadily. Reeza Hendricks, Rilee Rossouw and Rudi Second batted patiently but with Harmer turning the ball sizeably, Knights were soon in trouble.
At 148 for 6, their lead was only 74 and a swift end to the innings would have seen Warriors push for victory. Van der Wath resisted for more than three hours, though, so much so that Warriors took the extra half an hour before tea to try and end the innings.
Harmer finished with five and Ayabulela Gqamane took the final wicket to end a fine second-innings performance but with the clock ticking, both captains agreed to shake hands on the draw.

Everything I own fits in my backpack but I just wish I could go home and be a regular kid with mom and dad, wherever they are.
Maybe this house will be different. The people are nice so far. They just asked me if I wanted to go to camp. What is that? Something in the summer when school's out. Maybe. If I'm still here. Can't plan too far in advance when you're a foster kid.
(Time passes, camp happens)
Whoa! That camp thing was pretty awesome. I felt like a real kid. Got to swim everyday. They had a zipline! And this sweet lady painted my nails. It tickled and I laughed so hard. Best. Week. Ever. Hope I can come again.
This is a tiny tiny glimpse from an awesome humbling inspiring week photographing foster camp last summer at Ponderosa Bible Camp. Hey foster families. Keep going. It matters.

Manatees get stranded after floods in Citrus County
Image 1 of 6
CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla. - Several wayward manatees had to be rescued after getting caught in floodwaters from the rains of Hurricane Hermine in Crystal River.
A mother and a baby manatee found themselves in normally inaccessible waters because of the high storm surge and became stranded when the water receded.
Volunteers and staff with the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge Complex helped rescue the mother and calf and relocate them to a nearby canal.
Photos posted show the manatee stuck up against some bars in a drain.
Patricia LaFountain also spotted two manatees stuck in a ditch in Crystal River. She said she has also reached to rescuers to let them know they were there.
There was no immediate word on whether or not they've been relocated.
