Where the mind goes, the body will follow. – Arnold Schwarzenegger
Have you tried to lose weight, only to end up feeling frustrated and defeated?
Maybe you have lost a few pounds in the past – or even a significant amount of weight – only to gain it back, and then some.
Humans are good at a lot of things, but weight loss isn't one of them.
But why is weight loss so difficult?
Well, transformations begin within your mind, and unfortunately…your mind often works against you.
Changes don't come from external sources – YOU have to be mentally prepared to make them happen.
The good news is that you CAN change your mindset – and change your life for the better.
Here are 8 common mental obstacles to weight loss success. I bet at least a few of these are getting in your way.
Self-image and Self-sabotage
Grab a pen and paper and quickly make a list of a few words and phrases you'd use to describe yourself.
Then, look over your list.
The words and phrases you jotted down are good indicators of your self-concept.
Your self-concept started forming in early childhood. Your parents, your peers, and authority figures largely influenced its development. All of the information and suggestions you gathered from those sources was stored in your subconscious mind – and were accepted as true, even if they weren't.
If you see yourself as an overweight, unhealthy person, it is going to be very difficult for you to do things that people of a healthy weight do. When you try to do things that not consistent with your self-image, you may subconsciously sabotage yourself.
People who don't understand self-image erroneously put all their attention on changing their eating and exercise behaviors, but the problem with this physical-only approach is that it's not addressing the source or cause of the behavior. Self-image must be adjusted before a transformation can begin.
"The self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. It defines what you can and cannot do. Expand the self-image and you expand the 'area of the possible.'
The development of an adequate, realistic self-image will seem to imbue the individual with new capabilities, new talents, and literally turn failure into success." – Maxwell Maltz, Psycho-Cybernetics, Updated and Expanded

Do you believe you deserve to live a life of happiness, abundance, and good health?
Or…do you feel guilty when you think about those things?
Deep inside many of us is a feeling that we aren't worthy.
Some of us even believe (usually at the subconscious level) that are are supposed to suffer.
In the article How to Finally Feel Good Enough to Deserve Better, Suzanne Lachmann, Psy.D, writes,
Maybe you can't complete what you've started, or you mess something up no matter how bad you don't want to.
If you don't feel deserving, you'll find a way not to allow yourself to have "it" (whatever "it" is). Your concept of yourself as undeserving compels you to sabotage, retreat from and resist the things you long to change in yourself.
This experience is a vicious cycle.
Do you feel like you DESERVE to be at your desired weight?
If you are a parent or caregiver, it is possible that you feel guilty when you take time for yourself.
When you fly on an airplane, the flight attendant tells you to put your oxygen mask on before helping others in the event of an emergency. Why is that? Well – because if YOU run out of oxygen, how will you be able to help anyone else?
This is an important metaphor for those of you who run around taking care of everything and everyone else except yourself.
If you are tired, miserable, and unhealthy, what good are you to your loved ones?
Oh, and closely related to guilt…making certain foods forbidden. This usually backfires too.
Tell yourself you can't have brownies, and what will you think about for the rest of the day?
It's not going to be broccoli, I can tell you that. *wink*
Making things forbidden tends to make us want them even more.
On that note…try NOT using that naughty four-letter word: DIET.
Humans hate dieting! The word implies deprivation and suffering. Go on a diet for a month (if you can last that long), and mostly likely all you'll lose is 30 days. And some of your sanity.
Instead, try eating healthfully and mindfully.
"We cannot achieve more in life than what we believe in our heart of hearts we deserve to have." – James R. Ball

Being too hard on yourself
Are your goals and expectations realistic?
Expecting to lose more than 2 pounds of body fat per week is not realistic. In fact, it is HARD…if not impossible for most people.
And, expecting to stick to a weight loss plan without slipping at all is not realistic. In fact, it is HARD..if not nearly impossible for most people.
How do you handle slip-ups? If you eat one cookie, do you feel bad about it, figure the day is ruined, and eat the whole box? This mentality – called black-and-white thinking – disrupts the balance in your life because it leads you to believe you have to do everything right or do nothing at all.
Perfectionism can result from a rigid mindset in which you don't change your expectations based on the situation. It can lead to second-guessing, procrastinating, feeling constantly overwhelmed, or giving up and not trying at all.
Practice being easier on yourself. You are human! Show yourself the compassion you would extend to others facing the same challenges.
It's been said that we have approximately 16,000 thoughts a day and 75 percent of them are negative. What you think about, you bring about, so focus on the positive.
"Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow – after you have done your best to achieve success today." – Maxwell Maltz
Being too easy on yourself
Do you want to overhaul your life, but believe that you can only handle small changes?
Well, guess what? You might be underestimating your abilities.
Recent research strongly suggests that we tend to seriously underestimate our ability to change our lives for the better.
Contrary to popular belief, it appears that we are capable of multiple, simultaneous life changes. For more this, click here: Small Changes or Life Overhaul? The Answer May Surprise You
Don't you dare give up on yourself because you've "failed" in the past.
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." – Winston Churchill
Do you weigh yourself every day and lose patience when you don't see the pounds dropping off…and revert back to your old eating habits?
If so, I want to share three facts with you:
- The scale doesn't tell the whole story. It only tells you your overall body weight – and there are many components involved in body weight and weight loss.
- When you reduce your caloric intake and increase exercise in an attempt to lose "weight," you are likely gaining some lean mass while you are losing fat. That's a good thing, but that kind of progress is not measured on a typical scale. In fact, the number on the scale may increase, or stay the same, especially in the early stages.
- There are far better ways to measure your progress, including taking your measurements, having your body fat percentage tested periodically, and watching how your clothes fit…oh, and going by how you feel overall.
"Never allow impatience to rob you of what you truly deserve."- Lailah Gifty Akita

What are the benefits you'll think you'll gain if you reach your goal weight (nicer appearance, improved health, better-fitting clothes, feelings of control) versus the costs (expense, time, effort, stress, and feelings of guilt or frustration)?
If you are struggling with weight loss, is it possible that, in your mind, the perceived benefits don't outweigh the perceived costs?
"How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most."- Stephen R. Covey
Over-analysis Paralysis
Do you tend to drown in the details?
Let's face it: there is a LOT of information available to you now. Unless you live in a cave with no internet connection or cannot read, you have access to unlimited resources on how to improve your health and lose body fat.
But the availability of so much information can be overwhelming, and being overwhelmed can result in inaction.
What's the solution?
Stick to the basics. For more on how to do that, please see Why You Can't Lose Weight and What to Do About It and Adults Fail Miserably at This, and It Is Killing Us.
And, like Nike says, Just Do It.
Stop thinking so much, and start DOING more.
"You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water."- Rabindranath Tagore
All of us procrastinate on occasion (who doesn't prefer surfing the internet to cleaning the house?), but some of us take it to a level that is, well, destructive. Chronic procrastination can prevent you from fulfilling your potential, and from fully enjoying life.
Procrastination is complicated. It is a gap between intention and action. The desire to start or complete a task exists – but it loses to less important but more instantly rewarding activities.
Experts say procrastination can serve as a coping mechanism. When you procrastinate, you are avoiding emotionally unpleasant tasks and replacing them with activities that provide a temporary mood boost.
But, the procrastination itself causes anxiety, shame, and guilt, which in turn leads you to procrastinate even further, creating a vicious cycle.
If you are a procrastinator, I highly recommend this article: The Real Reasons You Procrastinate and How to Stop (Don't put it off – read it today!)
"Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in installments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success."- Israelmore Ayivor
"Lack of confidence, sometimes alternating with unrealistic dreams of heroic success, often leads to procrastination, and many studies suggest that procrastinators are self-handicappers: rather than risk failure, they prefer to create conditions that make success impossible, a reflex that of course creates a vicious cycle." – James Surowiecki

Kinister Tapes
Rileys Dad- I have quite a few on 1 pocket, they're not bad. He does go into a little theory, some tactics. On the whole though I prefer Jopling's tapes.
Originally posted by RileysDadAnyone got thoughts on Kinister's Tapes. I just got pretty complete lot and wand opinions please?
I have only seen a few, but I liked what I saw...
I'm only a high C player, so keep that in mind... I've watched a few
of Bert's tapes, and there is a lot of valuable information in them.
The first one, the 60 minute 9-ball workout is my favorite. He
lays down about 27 position shots, and executes them flawlessly,
and repeatedly, although it looks like it is on a 7 foot table.
There are two safety tapes #9 and #10 I think that really show some
great safeties.
I wish I had the money and a local pool hall to be able to practice
the shots in the first video. I try to practice a few of them each time
I play, and it always amazes me how well he can draw the cue ball.
In one shot he shoots out from a corner to an object ball diagonally
to the other corner, and draws the cue ball back to the original
corner. And I mean he starts with the cue ball just about on the lip
lip of the corner!
I'd also like to hear people's opionions on how well a player is, if
he/she can execute all of the shots in that video with a great deal of
consistency. I mean, could someone actually contemplate trying to
make a living playing pool if they could execute all of those shots?
I have never seen a video that teaches so much as that first video!
I think it would be more benificial to read some books... They have the most knowledge. Try grady's old tapes or as already suggested, Joplins. There are a few others like- Billy I. and Allen Hopkins. I think the Kinisters tapes waste a lot of time. 2-3 ideas to practice per tape or a hundred per book... Come on, start thinking like a one pocket player...
Books: W1P, SMS, Banking with the Beard... Hell e-mail me and I will send a list... Some are availible in PDF format... Knowledge is the key....Last edited by starfix_1; 12-08-2006, 03:47 PM.
Feeney's tapes are very technical and maybe contain more informant ion than a player needs.
I have the first 54 of Bert's tapes. It did seem a little overwhelming at first. Each tape consists of a lesson that helps playing position. They usually consists of drills and he shows you the mistakes that the student is making. What really bugs me is when the student has a bad stroke and Bert doesn't correct it. You have to appreciate and understand the way Bert teaches. Bert's tapes will not make you happy if you want one tape to be the end all and teach everything.
His first tape is really great. Bob Henning condenses those 27 critical shots down to 13 or 14 in his Pro Series.
Jopling & Kinister Tapes
Originally posted by akbushman51Rileys Dad- I have quite a few on 1 pocket, they're not bad. He does go into a little theory, some tactics. On the whole though I prefer Jopling's tapes.Is He That Good Or Am I Just Not?
I happen to like Bert's stuff. He can be crazy fun to listen to and when he is telling you something important, it is easy to understand. It is true that they are not an all encompassing thing, but I actually like that. You learn some good stuff and go out and make it part of you arsenal. Then go get another tape and so on. In some ways it is like getting lessons. If you got all the info up front at once, you won't remember that much of it later on. Maybe it is preference.
There are somethings that he will show you that I have not seen anywhere else. I find those kind of little extras that he throws in there to be great. His creativity and approaches on some things are really fun and informative.Peace,
-Straight Pool and One-Pocket Rule!

Walter Bagdasarian faces up to 10 years in federal prison when he is sentenced on October 26 by a judge in San Diego. (not just five as the linked article states) Bagdasarian was found guilty on two counts of making a threat against a major candidate for president during an hour-long bench trial in which no witnesses were presented. Each count carries a maximum sentence of five years.
The court heard that Secret Service agents linked Bagdasarian's home computer to messages posted on a Yahoo! Finance message board.
Bagdasarian expressed the view that an Obama presidency would be extraordinarily damaging "He will have a 50 cal in the head soon," one message read, while another used a racial epithet.
"The defendant admitted that he posted the statement(s) on his home computer," but indicated that he had been drunk at the time. prosecutor William Cole told the judge. "When people make threats, things happen."
Albeit in this case all that did happen was that the guy sobered up and got arrested.

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Why not think of some other questions, without mentioning all the various positions he took? Or try tag questions? For example:
1. The woman didn't notice Alex, did she? - She did. She saw him lying in the field.
2. The woman asked him about his health, didn't she? - No, she didn't. She asked him what he was doing in the field.
3. How did Alex explain why he was in the field (the reason for being in the field)?
4. Alex looked very neat and clean, didn't he? - No, he didn't. He was (looked) dirty.
5. Which direction did he want to go on his way? - He wanted to go North.
6. He was sitting on the ground all through his conversation with the woman (while he was talking to the woman), did he? - Yes, he did.
If I were a native speaker of English, I would never shut up. :-)

8 Compact Digital Cameras Under $130
Not everyone needs a high-end digital compact or interchangeable-lens camera. If you're looking for a pocket camera, but are on a tight budget, you'll have to do a little bit of research to avoid spending your hard-earned dollars on a camera that doesn't deliver in the image-quality department. We tested eight affordable cameras to separate the wheat from the chaff. The good news is that you don't need to spend a fortune to get a camera that meets your needs.
Make no mistake, you'll have to make some feature and image-quality sacrifices in this price range. You won't find long zoom lenses, 1080p video recording, GPS, 3D image capture, or outstanding low-light performance here. Most models include smaller LCD screens, although the Nikon Coolpix L24 and Kodak EasyShare C1530 hit the very-respectable 3-inch mark. Overall, if you're willing to prioritize what's most important when it comes to features and performance, you can find a camera that will keep your snapping away with satisfaction.
Our favorite of the bunch, not surprisingly, was the most expensive. The $130 Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 earned our Editors' Choice award thanks to a wide-angle zoom lens, rechargeable battery, and 720p HD video recording. But the Canon PowerShot A800 and the Samsung ES80 offer surprisingly good images for their under-$100 price tags.
To find the best budget camera for you, read our reviews (linked below) or compare these models side by side. Still need buying advice? Check out our How to Buy a Point-and-Shoot Digital Camera or our Digital Camera Product Guide for more reviews and tips.
Budget Cameras Featured in this Roundup:
Canon PowerShot A800
$89.99 list
This pocket camera comes with compromises, but a $90 price tag and dead-simple operation help balance the Canon PowerShot A800's lack of optical image stabilization and HD-video capture. Read the full review ››
Fujifilm FinePix AV200
89.95 direct
The Fujifilm FinePix AV200 is an inexpensive camera that is able to capture sharp images and 720p HD movies, but is held back by slow performance and noisy photos. Read the full review ››
General Electric J1470S
$119.99 direct
The General Electric J1470S is inexpensive and looks it, but its image prowess and general performance are impressive for a $120 point-and-shoot camera. Read the full review ››
Kodak EasyShare C1530
$79.95 direct
The Kodak EasyShare C1530 packs a large LCD and delivers sharp images at a very modest price, but its low-light performance and video capabilities leave a lot to be desired. Read the full review ››
Nikon Coolpix L24
$119.95 direct
Nikon's Coolpix L24 sets itself apart from other budget cameras by including a big 3-inch LCD, but it falls short on image quality. Read the full review ››
Olympus T-100
$89.99 list
Olympus's T-100 is a compact budget camera that is capable of capturing some pretty sharp images. Unfortunately, it is hindered by high image noise, slow performance, and a short zoom range. Read the full review ››
Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3
$129.99 direct
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 is a capable compact camera with a high-quality LCD, rechargeable battery, and a wide-angle 4x zoom lens. It doesn't produce the sharpest images in its class but it's the one of the best cameras you'll find for $130. Read the full review ››
Samsung ES80
$99.99 list
The Samsung ES80 is capable of producing sharp images in bright light, and unlike most cameras in its price range features a 5x zoom lens. But its low-light performance leaves much to be desired. Read the full review ››

Although head lice are harmless and don't spread disease, they can cause a great deal of discomfort and distress. Transmitted by close contact and known to spread quickly, head lice are most common among children ages 3 to 11. In fact, up to 12 million head lice infestations occur each year in the United States within that age group alone. To keep your family head-lice-free, learn how to spot the signs and symptoms of infection such as itchiness, discolored bumps, and visual cues. © Verywell, 2018 Frequent Symptoms Lice move very quickly so they're not always easy to see. To detect a head lice infestation look out for the following symptoms: extreme itchiness in your scalpa tickling or crawling sensation on your headsmall red bumps on your scalp or neck If you think your child may have head lice, watch for the following signs: frequent head-scratchingsores on the head (the result of frequent scratching)small red bumps on the scalp or neck Because lice are particularly active in the dark, they may also disrupt your child's sleep. Therefore, difficulty sleeping and daytime irritability may be a sign. Head lice are highly contagious, especially when sharing hairbrushes, hats, and other personal belongings. Therefore, it's a good idea to check everyone in your family (and other close contacts) if someone in your household is found to have them. Visual Signs About half of people with head lice will not scratch their head, so the best way to detect an infestation is to look for signs of an infestation. By parting the hair and examining the scalp in bright light (ideally with a magnifying glass and fine-tooth lice comb), you may be able to get a close look at head lice. The insects are generally easier to see near the ears and the nape of the neck. Head lice are wingless and have three forms: the egg (or "nit"), the nymph, and the adult. Here's how to spot each form. Nits Oval-shaped and extremely small (i.e., just about the size of a knot in thread), nits are frequently found on the back of your neck or behind your ears. Since they often appear white in color, they're sometimes mistaken for dandruff. Unlike dandruff, however, nits are attached to individual hairs (often close to the scalp) and won't fall out when the hair is shaken. Nymphs A type of louse that's recently hatched from the nit, a nymph resembles an adult louse (often grayish white to tan in color) but is smaller in size. It takes nine to 12 days after hatching from the nit for a nymph to mature into an adult. Adult Lice Adult head lice are about the size of a sesame seed. They have six legs, featuring hook-like claws that allow them to cling tightly to the hair shaft. Often grayish-brown or tan in color, adult head lice may appear darker in people with dark hair than in people with light hair. Note that while head lice are found almost exclusively on the scalp, it's possible (though very rare) to find lice on the eyebrows or eyelashes as well. Complications Along with emotional distress and sleep disturbance, head lice can lead to a number of complications when left untreated. For example, frequent scratching can cause breakage of the skin, which can leave you vulnerable to infection. Since lice feed on human blood, severe and chronic infestation can lead to blood loss and iron-deficiency anemia. In addition, an allergic reaction to louse feces or bites may trigger a rash in some individuals. Know that in most cases these complications are rare. Lice are generally harmless, but they are important to get rid of. When to See a Doctor It's important to seek medical attention if you suspect that anyone in your family has head lice. You should also talk to your doctor if you or your child is still experiencing head lice symptoms even after using an over-the-counter treatment. In some cases, a stronger product may be needed in order to eliminate the lice.

Published at Thursday, May 09th, 2019 - 07:22:28 AM. Coffee Table. By Bertrand Laurent.
If you can't decide on a size remember this: It's better to have one that's too big than to have one that's too small. Wooden coffee tables, as well as all coffee tables, are usually 16 inches tall. Some however can be as low as 10 or 11 inches tall.
The size of your singular coffee tables is also a very important consideration. If you have larger scale furniture you want your coffee tables to be larger in scale also. A room can look odd and unbalanced if the coffee table is disproportionately larger or smaller than your other furniture.

Surrounded by swaying palm trees, steps from white sand beaches and in proximity to his family and friends who still live on the island, the work that brings Moe Garcia to the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM) several times a year might seem like an idyllic assignment. But it's the chance to give back to his school and our company that has driven him to stick with it for eight years.
"It's very fulfilling to help out students at the university," said Moe, a systems and applications manager. "They're highly valued by our company, so it's important for us to give them a closer look at industry work experience."
Moe has a passionate commitment to the 20-year partnership between UPRM and our company. As campus manager since 2010, He brings our engineers to the campus for talks, arranges scholarships, and coordinates our participation in an "Industrial Affiliates Program" that provides mentorship and funding for student projects and helps to get needed equipment, parts, and tools for UPRM's engineering labs. His strong relationships with faculty have paid off for TI as well as for the students.
"Moe's efforts have brought talented engineers to our staff who help make our company a more culturally diverse place to work," said Carrie Hunter, a recruiting manager at our company. "He has such an influence and a strong trust with the professors. Their students are excited to work on the cool, innovative projects that we offer through our summer internships and rotation programs. It's a win-win."
An ever-expanding family
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Moe earned his electrical engineering degree from UPRM in 2000. As a student there, he worked on TI projects with Professor Rogelio Palomera before securing a seven-month internship at our Dallas headquarters, followed by a full-time job as a test engineer. Now, he's helping students follow in his footsteps, and growing a pipeline of diverse talent at our company.
"Since UPRM's bachelor of engineering degree is a distinguished five-year program, we're essentially getting master's level students from a bachelor's degree program, and the Mayagüez campus is known for STEM," Carrie said. "These students have dozens of companies recruiting them."
Under Moe's management, the TI-UPRM family has continued to expand. In 2000, he was our company's third hire from the school. Today, at least 60 UPRM graduates work here. In 2017 alone, 17 students from the campus accepted offers to join us. Counting those who've done internships and moved on since hiring, Moe estimates 100 UPRM engineers have joined us over the course of our partnership.
"The students have questions and are nervous about the interview process," Moe said. "Some students who I guided through the process now work at TI, are married with children and set up meetings with me to get mentoring on their next career move. It's a family-type relationship with some history behind it that I feel proud of."
Lyanne Magriz Cortes, a physical verification engineer, attests to the close-as-family relationship. She was doing undergraduate research for the SPICE modeling lab in Mayagüez when she met Moe.
"I was majoring in electronics and semiconductors and TI was top in the world," she said. "There was no doubt I wanted to work here. Since I've joined TI, Moe has been very influential. He's a mentor and a very resourceful person."
Moe has been known to help UPRM interns with travel arrangements and even helped an intern in a medical emergency to fly home. On the UPRM campus, things are even more familial. Other early hires from the university often join Moe's missions to the campus for support and to give technical seminars, including Charles Parkhurst, a senior analog design engineer and the very first intern our company hired from UPRM . "They're like the right-hand men," Moe said. During their visits to Mayagüez, Professor Palomera treats them like his own grandchildren and his wife makes dinner reservations and plans the menu.
"Those dinners are more like family meals than professional meetings," Moe said. "We include spouses, and on one trip I took my daughter and Charles took his son," he says.
A new lab on campus
Coinciding with the 20-year anniversary of the TI-UPRM relationship, our company sponsored a total renovation of UPRM's integrated circuit design laboratory. The newly-reconstructed lab was set to open last fall when Hurricane Maria struck. With minor damages repaired, the formal ribbon cutting and celebration took place this May.
Charles also attended the 20th anniversary celebration in Mayagüez. He says Moe, with whom he shares a birthday and considers "like a brother," possesses a true engineer's mind.
"If he doesn't know how to do something, he'll find a way," Charles said. "By networking, by talking to people he puts pieces together to solve problems, and he knows how to put people together to make things happen. He is a very good leader; he's somebody who makes you want to follow him."
Moe, who exemplifies how our company is equipping today's students to become tomorrow's innovators, is featured in our company's 2017 Citizenship Report, which was released today.
Great job Moe!
Excellent job Moe.
Great job Moe - and great experience working together with you on the lab renovation! An absolute miracle surviving the hurricane and all. Appreciate your commitment to TI and UPRM!
Great Job Moe,
I'm also from Puerto Rico and it is great to hear and see what great things you are doing.

Rethinking the Way We Hold Schools Accountable
January 23, 2008
Test-based accountability has not generated the significant gains in student achievement that proponents intended. Nor is the country on track to meet either the high proficiency standards required under the No Child Left Behind law or the equity goals suggested by its name. It's time for a new approach, writes Edgar T. Thompson Professor of PPS Helen F. Ladd in a commentary for Education Week. [article]

I have a new shop! Buy all my latest books here!
Sorry guys, I know I said comics would be back this week, but it just hasn't happened. Rather than give you nothing at all here's the latest version of the book cover (just to confirm that I am not actually dead) - I think it's nearly there now, so fingers crossed everything should return to normal soon. I haven't just been working on the book though - I've also got some potentially paid comic work coming up which is really what's been taking up my brain's creative cycles at the moment, so there hasn't been a lot left for Beavering and Stevering this week. But I've got next week off work so hopefully that will be enough to conquer all these long overdue projects and get back into 'the zone'. Whatever that might be. Please hang in there: I will be back! It looks like the comic transcription system has been down without my knowledge for the last few months, which is perhaps why none of the comics have been transcribed since July. But it's all fixed now, so if you've got a bit of spare time it would be really great if you could take a minute to transcribe a strip. Thanks!

Announcement of 2011 Makers Muse Recipients
In its third year, the Makers Muse program continues to honor artists working in all mediums and forms: traditional and experimental, classic and contemporary. The award supports artists and their work in the various stages of process.
With diverse articulations, including whimsical stop motion animation, prolific photography, sculptures of macabre fairies, grotesquely innovative video games, intuitive Arabic street art, post apocalyptic installations of grit and humor, and the creative preservation of immigrant music – this year's recipients do nothing short of impress and motivate.
From all over the world and a wide array of disciplines it our pleasure to announce the recipients of this years Makers Muse award.
Blu is a street artist from Bologna, Italy whose works cover walls worldwide. His giant cartoon style images, ranging from twisted to surreal, explore the absurdity of the human form and human nature. He expresses that his images say more than he can with words, and though he is not a self-proclaimed activist, he exudes a strong political voice in his work. Originally working in aerosol, but now using mostly black and white water based paints, rollers and brushes, this purposeful limitation accentuates the affect of line and form and emphasizes the drawings themselves. Using these mediums to make epic images in public spaces, he incorporates stop motion cinematography to create morphing animations from the farthest stretches of the imagination. Though his identity remains anonymous and many of his works take shape on humble urban streets, he has accepted large commissions such as painting an exterior wall of the Tate Modern in London as part of a collaboration with 5 other international street artists.
Tessa Farmer was born in 1978 in Birmingham and lives and works in London. She received a BFA and MFA from the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford University. In 2007 she was an artist in residence at The Natural History Museum, London. Recent solo exhibitions include 'Nymphidia' at Danielle Arnaud Contemporary Art', London and 'ISAM: Control Over Nature' a collaboration with DJ and producer Amon Tobin at the Crypt Gallery, London. Recent group exhibitions include 'House of Beasts' at Attingham Park (National Trust), Shrewsbury, 'Monanism' at MONA, Tasmania, 'Newspeak: British Art Now', at The Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, The Saatchi Gallery, London and currently at The Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide. Since the late 1990′s she has been obsessed with the discovery and existence of a species of malevolent insect sized skeleton fairies. She is represented by Danielle Arnaud Contemporary Art, London and Spencer Brownstone Gallery, New York.
Geraldine Juárez (México, 1977) is a pupil of the internet, her friends and Eyebeam, where she was Senior Fellow at the Production Lab (2003, 2006–2008). She works on the internet and in the street through a wide range of media and outputs to understand the spaces that emerge when information, property and power collide, with a special interest in low, open and pirate technologies. She is a collaborator in decentralized hacking groups focused on open-source and infrastructure like Telecomix, Free Art and Technology Lab (FAT) and Forays. She conducts research and blogs about the tension between intellectual property law and the culture of copy, and their societal effects on governance and democracy in Mexico and beyond. She has been resident artist at inCUBATE in Chicago, Timelab in Belgium and JA.Ca in Brazil (2010). Her work has been shown internationally at collective exhibitions such as Interference, Feedback and Other Options in Eyebeam (NYC), Creative Times's Democracy in America (NYC), Secret Project Robot (NYC), State of the Art: New York at URBIS Manchester (UK), Actions: What you can do with the city at Centre for Canadian Architecture (CA), G.R.L.| F.A.T. World Summit at CREAM (Japan) Los Impolíticos at Pan Pallazo delle Arti in Napoli (Italy), DEEP NORTH at Transmediale (Berlin) and festivals such Piksel, Futuresonic, Pixelache, Conflux and Transitio.
eL Seed grew up engulfed in the first wave of hip hop culture in Paris, France. Born of Tunisian parents, from an early age eL Seed fostered strong ties to his motherland. As a young artist, his medium often changed: drawing portraits, calligraphies, and cartoon storyboards, painting on shoes, baseball caps, and t-shirts, and eventually spraying colors on his neighborhood walls. Graffiti lingered as a dormant passion until eL Seed moved to North America: the birthplace of modern Graffiti. It was in this environment that eL Seed's interests in calligraphy and graffiti collided and fused together. Developing on the proverbial tradition lived by the first Arabic calligraphers, eL Seed chooses to paint a message rather than his name. He understands his identity as being unintentionally politicized and uses this to confront common stereotypes. Breaking the false dichotomy between 'modernity' and 'tradition' is one such effort. Through the use of graffiti styles and techniques, eL Seed's calligraphic compositions bring to life what is otherwise perceived in the globalized mainstream as an 'old' or 'dead' civilization.
Ian Nagoski is a musicologist and musician concerned with the origins and temporal boundaries of music. He has produced several albums and installations of slow, densely layered electronic music and performed widely. In 2007 Ian released Black Mirror, a collection of gripping music recorded between 1918 and 1954 originating in more than 20 countries. Lauded by publications as diverse as the academic journal Ethnomusicology and the taste-making website Pitchfork, it was described by the Baltimore's City as "enigmatic, transfixing, haunting, pretty, and just plain odd," and the Kronos Quartet included a piece from it in their repertoire.
Nagoski followed Black Mirror with a series of releases on his own Canary Records imprint (manufactured and distributed by Mississippi Records of Portland, OR), including an LP of the brilliant 1920′s Greek singer Marika Papagika, which LA Times Music Editor Randall Roberts has called "awe-inspiring." Most recently, Canary has released an in-depth survey of the life and work of the great Indian singer Abdul Karim Khan. A 3CD set depicting the lives and work of Middle Eastern musicians (and their audiences) in and around New York City in the first decades of the 20th century, "To What Strange Place: The Music of the Ottoman-American Diaspora, 1916-29", was released this year on the Tompkins Square label. All Music gave it 4 1/2 stars, and in The Wire Marcus Boon described Nagoski as "like [Harry] Smith, a Walter Benjamin visionary, using his collection of 78s to hallucinate a history that actually happened but which remains hidden beneath official dogma and nationalisms." Nagoski is also a writer, who has contributed research on under-sung musicians and music to dozens of magazines and blogs. He lectures and teaches widely, moving between galleries, bars, coffee houses, sound-art festivals, radio and academic institutions. Jason Cherkis' article on Nagoski's life and work for the Washington Post was selected for DaCapo's Best Music Writing 2011, edited by Alex Ross.
Simon Norfolk is a landscape photographer whose work over the last ten years has been themed around a probing and stretching of the meaning of the word ʻbattlefield' in all its forms. As such, he has photographed in some of the world's worst war zones and refugee crises, but is equally at home photographing supercomputers used to design military systems or test launches of nuclear missiles.
His work has been widely recognized: he has won Le Prix Dialogue at Les Rencontres d'Arles in 2005; The Infinity Prize from The International Center of Photography in 2004; the Foreign Press Club of America Award in 2003: and he was winner of the European Publishing Award, 2002. In 2003 he was shortlisted for the Citibank Prize now known as the Deutsche Böurse Prize. He has produced three monographs of his work including 'Afghanistan:chronotopia' (2002) which was published in 5 languages; 'For Most Of It I Have No Words' (1998) about the landscapes of genocide and 'Bleed' (2005) about the war in Bosnia. He has work held in major collections such as The Museum of Fine Art, Houston and Deutsche Böurse Art Collection in Frankfurt and the collection of the British Council. In 2011 he published 'Burke + Norfolk;' a re-discovery and re-photography of the photographer John Burke's pictures from Afghanistan in the 1880s. It was shown at Tate Modern in London making him one of the few photographers to ever be given a solo show there. He has been described by one critic as 'the leading documentary photographer of our time. Passionate, intelligent and political; there is no one working in photography that has his vision or his clarity.
Paolo Pedercini is an Italian game developer, artist and educator. He currently teaches digital media production and experimental game design at the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University. His artistic practice deals with the relationship between electronic entertainment and ideology. He often works under the project name "molleindustria" producing video games addressing various social issues such as environmentalism, food politics, religious fundamentalism, labor and gender. His work is enjoyed by millions of non-art oriented people over the net and has been exhibited in proper and improper venues from all over Europe and the US.

Point of View
Because Arkham Asylum is a graphic novel, its point of view is a third person camera, much like a movie, watching the action unfold. The camera is guided by the writer and artist, pointing out to the reader details such as the moon Tarot card that falls to the ground when Two-Face knocks down the house of cards and the joker card on the floor of Harriet Arkham's room, prescient of the Joker who will later inhabit the house.
During the flashbacks to Arkham's life, the story is told from Arkham's journal, so it takes on Arkham's first person narrative point of view. Arkham is descending into madness, so his point of view is unreliable. He has repressed his own memory of killing his mother, and he has experienced disconnects from reality and hallucinations. Arkham's journal is a journal of impressions, things that originate inside Arkham's...

Hey Dr. Nerdlove.
I have a question for you. I'm a kinda short, black teenager in high school and this year (junior year) I decided I want to dress in matching clothing and have some style as much as possible. So basically I'm not a "socially-inept nerd" but I am a sports playing nerd. I can match my clothes but being in style is hard. I would like your tips on style and maybe some of your style. Thanks.
Jumbled-Up Junior
My first rule about high-school is: try not to worry too much about high-school. It's a giant morass of surging hormones, social Darwinism and a whole bunch of proto-sociopaths who're busily sharpening their metaphorical knives on anyone and everyone around them where the rules of engagement seem to have been written by people who spent twenty to thirty years in the high-security wing of Oz (and I don't mean they were trying to find ruby slippers for the Wizard).
Now that having been said, high-school is a place for laying the groundwork for who you will become later on. The sooner you master the basics, whether it's with social interaction or sartorial mastery, the easier you will find that aspect of your life later on when it does start to count: in college.
So with that in mind, I'm going to advise you that you don't worry too much about your personal style yet. Start off by making sure you have the basics down pat. This means making sure you're wearing clothes that actually fit rather than trying to hide any flaws you may perceive in layers of clothing.
Next, keep some simple rules in mind.
- Don't go overboard with flashy clothes; stick to one piece of clothing that's the center-piece of your outfit. Everything else should be basic, otherwise you start to make yourself look overly busy. Same with accessories: keep it simple and minimalist. The more attention-grabbing a piece is, whether it's a hat, jewelry, a flashy watch or a novelty belt-buckle, the more it's going to overwhelm everything else. Think of it like a point system; the flashier it is, the more points it's going to cost, therefore you will have less room for other accessories.
- Jeans should be the work-horses of your closet; they can work with any outfit, provided they're good quality and fairly minimalist in design. The more holes or unusual washes (sand-blasted, for example), the less you can do with them. Dark washes are ideal, as they will work with damn near everything you own and can be dressed up or down. And no decorations on the back pockets. The early 00s have many fashion sins to answer for.
- The last thing you put on is going to be the first thing people notice. Keep this in mind, especially now that fall is slowly turning into winter. Never underestimate the power of a cool jacket.
- I'm a big fan of keeping displays of nerdery simple and understated1. Graphic tees reproducing comic covers or X-Men fight-scenes tend to be too much; something simple like the S-shield or the symbiote white-on-black Spider-Man logo are iconic and classic, especially when that's your centerpiece.
- Athletic shoes are best used for being athletic in order to keep them from wearing out too quickly. Keep some casual shoes for every-day wear, whether they're Chuck Taylors, Vans, Addidas or what-have you. You also need one pair of shoes that goes with a suit.
- Your belt should match your shoes.
- White socks are best for working out. Dark socks work best for every other occasion.
- Track suits are for warming up before exercising or lounging around the house when you don't give a damn who sees you. Period.
- Dr. NerdLove tees make you 100% cooler.
You may notice I didn't say much about style here. This is because style is an extension of who you are and at your age, your identity and archetype is going to be a moving target. This is a good thing; you should be experimenting with different aspects of your personality and identities as you try to find out who you really are. Find styles that speak to you and people who can serve as a fashion role-model. Just don't try to lock yourself into who you think you should be or let other people tell you who you are.
This is also a good time to start learning how to shop for clothes properly. Start learning to take advantage of sales and where to find discounts. I'd also recommend signing up for daily sale sites like JackThreads ((I have no affiliation with them, nor do I get anything from recommending them)), which can help you score some cool clothes on the cheap.
More often than not, when it comes to clothes, you get what you pay for – but that doesn't mean that you can't get it for cheaper if you're smart.
Hey Doc!
Long time reader here – finally decided I had something to ask you.
You mention in your articles that part of getting out there and meeting people is changing up your routine – and one of the things you suggest is to get into better physical shape. But what if you're someone who's currently struggling with that very thing?
Allow me to explain. I'm in my late 30s. I've been told by some women that I'm cute, but I don't really give my appearance very high marks – largely because I am rather overweight.
I've actually started taking steps to try and remedy the situation – I'm watching what I eat more, taking vitamins, and trying to exercise when I can.However, one thing I don't seem to be doing is meeting any women. And I think know why.
I've had it in my head for quite some time, that someone in as poor shape as I am shouldn't bother trying to meet anyone. I've always thought to myself, "If I just lose X amount of pounds, then maybe I can think about it". After all, a big part of attraction is physical, and right now, I'm not cutting it.
Another factor is that I do suffer from depression, and this makes things all the harder. To give you an idea of how hard: I haven't had a girlfriend since late 2007.
Now for the twist – I've recently resumed regular counseling sessions, and am on a decent regiment of meds – so I've actually started thinking about meeting women again. But here's the thing – I'm still pretty hung up on my weight, and not sure whether I should bother trying, or wait until I'm in better shape.
So, Doc – what's your take? Am I completely wrong-headed here?
–Unhealthy and Alone
Now before I get into the meat of your question: congratulations for going out and trying to get your life in order. Better nutrition and more exercise are always a good thing – not just for aesthetics (more on that in a second) but also because of the way it will make you feel. Doing something good for yourself will make you feel better and learning to enjoy some form of exercise – whether explicit exercise like running or weight-training or activities like sports or rowing – help get your endorphins pumping, which will help with the depression issue.
I should know; I've dealt with depression issues most of my life and a combination of healthier eating and activity (as well as therapy) helped immensely.
Now that having been said: your problem isn't in your waistline, it's in your head.
Your biggest issue is your self-image: that you can only be attractive at X weight, for whatever value you've assigned at X. You're letting your weight become a self-limiting belief and it's going to be a millstone hanging around your neck. When you keep telling yourself that you're too fat to be attractive, you're going to miss out on the fact that there are people who do find you attractive. Hell, they're even telling you to your face that they think you're cute… but you won't let yourself believe it.
I know that the media tells us that only men and women of a certain body type are attractive, but the fact of the matter is: there are plenty of women for who will quite happily date fat guys. Hell, there are plenty of women (and gay men, for that matter) who really dig big guys.2 Kevin Smith's been happily married for 13 years now, as has Patton Oswalt. Lots of women find John Goodman incredibly sexy just for his voice and personality alone. You're letting your hang-up get in the way of meeting and dating some really awesome people.
You definitely should start looking into meeting women even if you're not at your ideal weight yet. Putting up artificial barriers ("I can't start dating again until I'm X pounds") is just a way of excusing yourself from getting out there and taking some emotional risks. The closer you get to your goal, the more oh-so-perfectly-legitimate reasons why you can't possibly date will keep coming up: your car sucks and you need a different one, your job just keeps you too busy, you're still in therapy… there will always be another reason until you decide to make your stand. You've been out of the dating scene for a while and the more social you get, the more comfortable you'll become in interacting with women – even if you're not at the physical ideal you hope for.
Talk with your therapist about your self-image issues; they're in the best position to help you get past the idea that you're somehow undeserving of dating and nobody could possibly find you attractive.
Good luck. Be sure to write back and let everybody know how you're doing.

When family and friends gathered around Caleb James Pence and his bride-to-be Candra at their wedding ceremony near Harper, Kansas, there was one guest that was not on the invitation list.
In a video shot by the groom's uncle, Lee Pence, the camera pans around the congregation to reveal the ominous funnel of a tornado in the background.
Despite the nearby twister, the wedding party continues unperturbed.
Mr Pence, who uploaded the footage to his YouTube channel, described the day as the "perfect country wedding complete with wheat, cowboy hats, boots, and tornados."
He added there was no need to interrupt the ceremony because "the tornadoes were about four miles away and were not moving."

|Weston, Mr. One Year Old, at The Sandbox in Huntington
- The Sandbox: Okay, I've heard about this amazing playspace in Huntington Village for months and months, but when I was working, and he was too small, I didn't want to see what it was all about lest I fall in love with it. Today, finally, we headed over to Gibson Street and visited Rob and Toni at their beyond gorgeous play space. I am a total convert! I am a little bit obsessed, actually. It's the most beautiful, peaceful, safe play area I've ever seen! We were the only ones in there (most people were at the beach!), so we ran around and played for over an hour...I didn't even notice the time passing. I bought a membership, so if you need me from 10-4 this winter, you know where to find me! (PS. I'll be writing more about this awesome space, pictured above, but they have the CUTEST birthday party space, so go book your kid's party!--and no, I'm not paid to say that--but if you want a Pinterest looking party, this is the place!)
- Music: I'm currently jamming out to Phoebe Hunt's Walk With Me and Annalise Emerick's Field Notes (review coming Monday!). I'm obsessed with both albums. Love women with soul!
- Drinking: I'm on a 21 Day Sugar Detox right now, so I'm loving La Croix seltzers! Have you tried? I could drink the apple-berry one all day!
- Photos: We got our family photos back from Molly Leon Photography and...I am in love with them. I'm so glad we had someone shoot some candid family photos of us!
What have you been loving lately?

Back in May, actually, right after we did the Toronto Goodlife Fitness Marathon, Dave and I decided to pop in to the Royal Ontario Museum here in Toronto. Awesome place. We go once a year or so, because it becomes sort of boring if you go more than that, but on a rainy day in May, it was perfect.
A Chinese tomb. At least I hope it's Chinese, don't want to offend anyone. Where's the door though? Believe me when I say I circled it many times, looking for a way in. Because THAT'S not offensive right?
They have a giant section of stuffed animals and bugs. Do you stuff a bug? No, probably not. Makes me sad to stare into the animals eyes' for too long. Poor things.
Dave has an irrational fear of very large things that live in the sea. Like giant squid. There is a debate out there in regards to their existence I know, but to Dave, they are VERY REAL. Just like killer clowns who live under the bed are VERY real in my world. I wish I was joking.
Oh look! Stuffed bugs! I want to cuddle them!
There are trees (fake) inside the museum. Full size ones. They make me happy.
My favorite part of the entire museum! The bat cave! You walk through and it's dark and creepy and they have all these visuals as well as wind machines and flashing lights to make it seem like bats are flying over your head. It's all confusing and blinding and not good for people with epilepsy. Only when we went through it and I filmed it for all to see, there were no flashing lights and bat wing noises and wind. LAME.
Also, the announcer is talking French (Canadian). Feel free to make fun.
This is the size of this flower. Like it's actual size. Seriously this exists? Like right now? When did we go back to prehistoric times? Where can I get me a dinosaur? I would want a T-rex. Because we are kin. They have really wimpy arms, as do I. I am talking no upper body strength whatsoever. This is my claim to fame.
More fluffy bugs!
This is my other favorite part of the museum. They have a huge section of furniture and music and clothing from Victorian times. LOVE THIS SHIT. I majored in Victorian lit in University you know. Charles Dickens is my boyfriend, and Jane Austen would be my lesbian lover, were I to swing that way. I probably would. Didn't everyone in Victorian times?
At this point we heard shouting from outside. All the way up here. There was a protest going on to end apartheid in Palestine. People were starting to gather in the streets.
Watched what was going on for a bit.
The way that the museum is built, you can look down to the first floor from the top floor. It's all twisty and jagged edges on the way down. Barf-puke central. Also, my vertigo starts to scream and an invisible hand tries to push me over the edge.
I love this city.

Temperature and air quality in any place of business is important for the comfort, health, and well-being of employees, customers, and visitors. To ensure a consistently comfortable and healthy work and business environment, the Water Removal Pros are available to provide all the commercial HVAC—Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning—services you need. Whatever your business, you want your HVAC system to be both energy efficient and cost effective while also providing just the right ambient temperature and indoor air of acceptable breathing quality.
If your business is located in San Antonio area including Bexar, Guadalupe, Hays, Comal, Kendall, Wilson and Blanco Counties, call the Pros anytime—day or night—at 470-448-3918 and we'll be onsite in 60 minutes or less. Our experienced technicians are licensed, bonded, and insured, and have been installing and repairing HVAC systems for over 20 years, so you can rest assured our commercial heating, cooling, and air conditioning solutions will meet all your needs.
You can also rest assured that every technician we hire must pass a thorough employment screening process as well as rigorous training that includes all relevant class work, extensive on-the-job training with a master technician, and ongoing training and certifications through NATE—the North American Technician Excellence—the nation's largest organization for certifying technicians in heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration, also known as HVACR.
Commercial Heating
Businesses in the San Antonio area rely on their heating systems to work properly. A properly working heat system works efficiently and keeps a business warm and comfortable inside when the temperatures outside are cold. If a furnace or heat system is not in proper working order, it loses heat and has to work harder to heat the various sections of a business building at the designated settings. An improperly working heating system can also lead to cold, drafty areas and a higher than usual heating bill. The furnace, boiler, or heat pump in your heating system requires regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure safe, efficient, cost-effective functioning when you need it most.
The Water Removal Pros recommend the time to do a routine maintenance check of a commercial heating system is before cold weather sets in. Don't wait till something happens. Call the Pros now, and our qualified technician will perform a thorough check of the system to make sure every part is functioning properly and efficiently for when you're ready to use it. If your heating system should fail, for whatever reason, the Pros are available 24/7 and will be onsite in under 60 minutes to diagnose and repair the problem.
Commercial Air Conditioning
Air conditioning serves to cool your place of business when summer heat is stifling and humidity levels are high. When functioning properly, your unit will cool quietly and efficiently, and keep you, your employees, and your customers comfortable when outside temperatures are unbearable. A properly working air conditioning system requires minimal electricity, which is helpful when trying to keep your utility bill in check.
The Pros understand just how hard an air conditioning unit works in hot weather. In time, the demands on the unit's compressor can cause it to fail, which requires repair—or possibly replacement—of the unit. When you need immediate relief in hot weather, call the Pros and we will be onsite in 60 minutes or less to repair your air conditioning unit. When it's time to buy a new unit we always recommend an energy-efficient unit, one that is sized right for your business or commercial property.
Ventilating and Indoor Air Quality
Many factors affect indoor air quality. Ambient temperature, air movement, humidity levels, pollutants (e.g., smoke, odors, dust, and airborne bacteria), moisture, mold spores, and carbon dioxide all play a role in the environmental air quality. Without comfortable indoor temperature and humidity levels, pollutant and allergen control, and proper ventilation, the health and comfort levels of your employees and customers are at risk.
Ventilation moves and circulates indoor air. Adequate and proper ventilation also serves to maintain a high indoor air quality. Proper ventilation means there is an exchange of interior air to the outside so that the air inside continues to circulate; it removes unpleasant odors; eliminates excessive moisture and humidity; and prevents air stagnation in general.
Virtually every commercial property contains some level of pollutants and contaminated air. Our Pros provide just the right solution to not only fight allergens, but prevent their growth altogether. Depending on your specific needs, our recommended solutions vary, and include installing an air cleaning system, source-removal duct cleaning, using dehumidifiers, or installing a humidifier—all solutions the Pros use in their arsenal of sustaining healthy indoor air quality for everyone who enters your place of business.
Energy Audit
Most businesses are always looking for ways to save money and reduce expenses. An energy audit is a good way to manage energy expenses, and more and more businesses rely on these audits as a normal course of business. When the Pros conduct an energy audit, we analyze all energy usage within your commercial building or facility, including any equipment contained in the property.
Our audits include checks of all building and commercial facility performance, including HVAC, lighting, air compressors, refrigeration, and all equipment that uses energy. Upon completion, we provide a comprehensive report and list of measures that can be taken to improve energy efficiency. Our goal is to always make recommendations that allow a business to reduce energy usage and expense without negatively affecting the day-to-day operations and productivity of the business.
We also provide a financial analysis that indicates current energy expenses, potential expenses with energy-efficient measures in place, the cost to implement the measures, and the expected return on the investment.
If you have not examined energy expenses lately, consider hiring Water Removal Pros to conduct a commercial energy audit. With a thorough report in hand, you will see where your energy dollars are going and be better informed and equipped to make the best decision on where to invest your energy dollars.
Whether you need installation of a new HVAC system, or replacement or repair of an existing HVAC system, call the Water Removal Pros at 470-448-3918. We are available 24/7 in San Antonio area including Bexar, Guadalupe, Hays, Comal, Kendall, Wilson and Blanco Counties, and will be at your place of business in 60 minutes or less.

What determines a good golf course? Often times the quality of a course is determined by the landscape. Although maintaining this quality is difficult, as it requires an abundance of water. During the warm months, plants dry out easily and don't hold water well. This fact, makes irrigation techniques pertinent.
Watering schedules are determined based on weather, terrain and usage. In hilly areas, watering is more difficult. Due to the occupied times of a course, available watering times are limited. Evening hours sometimes serve as watering times regardless of the best absorption times of the soil. Not all courses are shaped uniformly, causing irrigation difficulties. Different types of grass also create differing watering needs.
Proper Irrigation
Depending on climate factors, turf on average requires 25 to 60 inches of water annually. Most of this water is released during the summer months, when rainfall is lowest. Although trees and shrubs can store water, turf grasses can not. Turf has very little capacity to store water and withstand periods of drought.
During the summer months turf needs watered about twice a week. It is important to closely monitor the turf and any weather inconsistencies to adjust irrigation appropriately. Any deficit in rainfall must be supplemented with irrigation. To maintain healthy vegetation, a typical course requires 100,000 to 1,000,000 gallons of water per week during the summer.
Irrigation can be a difficult thing to manage. There are systems put in place to make irrigation more efficient and effective. Trained golf course irrigation specialists can determine the best systems for your irrigation needs. Automatic systems that adapt to weather can make irrigation management easier. Systems can also be installed to manage hundreds of light and irrigation systems from one device.
Water Waste
According to the Alliance for Water Efficiency, water audits performed across the country suggest that many golf courses use 20% to 50% more irrigation water than necessary. Reducing this overuse can save many golf courses not only 50,000 to 500,000 gallons per year but also save them money.
Reclaimed water usage is a way to reuse and save water costs. Wastewater treatment plants provide reclaimed water as a supplement to potable water use. Reclaimed water is wastewater treated to drinking standards but not deemed potable water. Golf courses are an opportunity to utilize that water.
Although some areas such as the green still require potable water, switching can cut costs. Also, reclaimed water has many other uses on a course such as for supplying toilets, urinals and some cooling towers.
Even though this is a good alternative, there are some drawbacks. Reclaimed water requires a clear separation of pipes from potable water. The irrigation systems are usually also on separate meters. Extensive plumbing systems will need to be installed in areas connected to both reclaimed and potable water. An example would be the water supply for toilets, urinals and water fountains. Although these new installations are tedious, it is reported to add less than 15% to the total cost of the plumbing system.
Proper Drainage
Irrigation in important but a quality course will also have a solid draining system. Drainage is considered the most important element of a quality putting green. Failure of turf and grass typically are due to one or more factors related to the inability to get rid of moisture.
Poor drainage creates softer conditions on putting greens. This causes ball marks, foot prints, and wear on the turf and grass. Diseases in poorly drained areas can also develop. Make sure your irrigation system is set on a regular and modest watering cycle. Having the proper drainage in place will also avoid repair costs later when over watering occurs.
The Decision
Developing the right watering plan for your course is not easy. There are many factors that come into play and cost is always a matter. Whether you want to save water, save money, be more environmentally friendly, or just want to improve your course; irrigating is always the way to go.

Lose Weight and stay motivated
March 4, 2010 by admin
Filed under Inspiration & Motivation
All over the world, there are a lot of people, who are not happy with their health and weight. IF you are one of them, my advice is to stop worrying, because there are a lot of simple solutions that you will be able to use to make the weight loss process a really easy thing to do. There are some simple tips, which will help you to achieve better results when you are starting a diet.
The main reason why most of the people are discouraged during the weight loss process is the fact that in some cases the weight loss process is slowed. The reason for that is the fact that when you are gaining muscles by doing a lot of exercises during your everyday life, the weight loss will be halted.
Many people think that this means that they will not loose any weight at all and they quit the weight loss process. Remember that when you are making regular exercises and keeping a proper diet, you are on the right path. Make sure that you will have more patience during the weight loss process and let the diets do their job.
Remember that you will not have to rush the weight loss, because that is one of the main reasons to gain some weight again after the diet is finished. Make sure that you will not starve yourself to death, which is a common way for people to rush the weight loss process. Furthermore, remember that there are no miracle medications that you will be able to use, so avoid any kind of them or consult with your personal healthcare provider before you are using them. There are many methods to discover which of the weight loss program is good for you. You may research on Internet by just doing the search on program that you are thinking.
Read information about how these program works, costs involved, support offered, as well as other information, which is very important in decision making process. A few web sites can offer the quiz where you can answer the pertinent questions about your lifestyle, habits, way you eat, amount of stress in life, family members, as well as other questions that are deemed necessary by quiz producer in order to help to sort out which of the weight loss program is suited well to your needs.
Most of the information points to fact that best weight loss plans are flexible & sustainable, and this is one successful plan that should be adaptable to individual. It must also take in consideration not just weight you would like to lose, but as well your personality type, or work in stressful situation.
