Financial regulators may face a new obstacle in their efforts to police Wall Street.
Lawmakers are pushing a bill that could curb the influence of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and other regulators, according to Congressional staff members and government watchdog groups.
The measure, which a Senate committee is planning to debate this month, aims to empower the president in the rule-writing process. The proposal would allow the White House to second-guess major rules and mandate that agencies carefully study the economic effects of new regulation. The change could, in effect, delay a number of rules for the financial industry.
Some legal experts say the White House already has ample authority to impose such demands on independent agencies like the S.E.C. But critics say that the bill would stymie financial reform and threaten the autonomy of regulators that operate outside the presidential cabinet.
"Those who support preserving the status quo where Wall Street regulates itself will find much to like in this legislation," said Amit Narang, a regulatory policy advocate at Public Citizen, a nonprofit government watchdog group.
The bill, introduced in the Senate last month, would offer a path to challenge the Dodd-Frank law, the sprawling regulatory overhaul passed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Regulators have already encountered significant delays as the financial industry mounts legal challenges to the law.
The authors of the Senate bill — Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio, and Susan Collins, Republican of Maine — say they are not out to kill financial reform. Ms. Collins backed Dodd-Frank, and the lawmakers point to support among several Democrats, including their co-author, Mark Warner of Virginia.
"This is a bipartisan, consensus reform with broad support, and it will promote a more stable regulatory environment for economic growth and job creation," Mr. Portman said in a statement.
The bill's future is uncertain. Congress has little time to act during the election season, and the legislation is not on the Senate's official agenda. But some Congressional staff members say it is rapidly gaining steam.
The bill was assigned to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, overseen by Joseph Lieberman, independent of Connecticut. The committee has discussed putting the proposal on the agenda for a Sept. 20 meeting, according to staff members briefed on the matter. The committee, which will most likely release its schedule on Wednesday, could use that meeting to amend and vote on the bill.
As a last resort, lawmakers may also include the measure in a broader appropriations bill. Such a move would be the latest Congressional jab at financial regulation. The House has passed a series of bills to temper Dodd-Frank. And this spring, President Obama signed the bill known as the JOBS Act, for Jump-Start Our Business Start-Ups, which loosened the rules surrounding initial public offerings as well as parts of a landmark settlement over stock research struck almost a decade ago.
Some regulators, sensing momentum around the new legislation, are resisting. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other financial regulators have raised concerns with lawmakers in recent days, in a bid to keep the bill off the Congressional docket, people briefed on the matter said. Regulators, whose cause is backed by advocacy groups like Public Citizen and Americans for Financial Reform, say the legislation would upend their way of doing business.
Under the bill, current and future White Houses would receive explicit authority to influence the rule-making process at independent agencies, a collection of several dozen government bodies as varied as the Federal Communications Commission and the F.D.I.C., S.E.C. and C.F.T.C. The Federal Reserve is exempt.
The president, through an executive order, would be allowed to mandate at the minimum a 13-point test for rule-making. That includes finding "available alternatives to direct regulation," evaluating the "costs and the benefits," drafting "each rule to be simple and easy to understand" and periodically reviewing existing rules to make agencies "more effective or less burdensome."
For more "significant" rules — those that have an annual effect of at least $100 million on the economy — independent agencies would have to submit their proposals to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an arm of the White House that acts as a sort of regulatory referee. A negative review from the office would delay a rule for up to three months and force an agency to explain its approach.
Despite the change, some legal experts say the bill will have no trouble passing Constitutional muster.
"It doesn't mean he can tell them how to decide, but it does mean they must consult with him — and that is the minimum required for the single executive the Constitution created," said Peter L. Strauss, the former general counsel of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission who is now a professor of regulatory law at Columbia Law School. He added that he hoped "the bill will be enacted."
The president currently exercises such power only over cabinet agencies like the Treasury and Commerce departments. That power was gained from executive orders issued by both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.
Proponents of the bill say they are aiming to close what they call a "loophole" for independent agencies, which have struggled at times to fully evaluate the costs of their rules. The bill tracks a recommendation made in a report this year by the president's jobs council.
But for years, Congress has balked before explicitly granting the White House such authority. Even Ms. Collins has questioned the approach, saying at a 2009 hearing that "the whole reason that Congress creates independent regulatory agencies is to insulate them from administration policies."
Critics of Wall Street say the bill is an unnecessary check on regulatory power. The S.E.C. and its fellow financial regulators, they say, already draft cost-benefit analyses. The futures trading commission also recently tapped the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs to advise on some of its rules.
If Congress and the White House ramp up the requirements, that will translate into months of additional delays, advocates say. The bill, they argue, will also spur court battles over financial regulation, potentially handing Wall Street another victory.
"Corporate interests will likely use negative White House reviews as a new weapon for challenging independent agencies in court," Mr. Narang of Public Citizen said. "The bill could lead to increased litigation and greater regulatory uncertainty."

"The Jewish mothers that I know and love are sexy, smart, and strong, but I have never seen this mother in Hollywood movies, and I set out to find out why." - Filmmaker Monique Schwarz
Jewish mothers are the most easily maligned image of Jewish women found in movies and television today. You know who they are: the caricature of the overbearing, emasculating, long suffering mother ever-ready with mountains of food. Australian director Monique Schwarz takes a funny, penetrating look at how the loving and affectionate portrayals in early Yiddish and Hollywood silent movies developed into the Jewish Mother of modern Hollywood and, conversely, the more flesh and blood characterizations in contemporary Israeli cinema.
With characteristic Jewish humor, iconic filmmakers Paul Mazursky, Paul Bogart and Larry Peerce and actress Lainie Kazan reflect with disarming candor on their own Jewish mothers and how they influenced their on-screen portrayals. Critics J. Hoberman, Patricia Erens, Michael Medved and Sharon Rivo discuss the changing image of the Jewish mother on screen and Israeli directors Avram Hefner and Zepel Yeshurun and actress Gila Almagor illustrate the uniqueness of Israeli filmic images.Mamadrama features hilarious film clips from Come Blow Your Horn, Goodbye Columbus, Next Stop Greenwich Village, The Jazz Singer, Portnoy's Complaint, Where's Poppa, Torch Song Trilogy, rare Yiddish films and recent Israeli features. Interspersed throughout is the story of Schwarz's own mother, Berta, from her life in Vienna before World War II to her struggles as an immigrant in post-war Australia, a picture of a woman vastly different from the Jewish mothers seen in contemporary films.
"The common stereotype of the Jewish Mother is a woman who is loud, obnoxious, domineering, not particularly attractive (though she wants to insist she once was) and emasculating."
- Michael Medved, Film Critic. From Mamadrama."The Jewish moguls had difficulty with their own Jewishness. As they became successful, the urge to assimilate fully was even stronger, So many of them found they would rather have a gentile wife than the Jewish wife they had first married."
- Patricia Erens, Film Historian. From Mamadrama.

Abstract |
In this paper we propose an efficient preconditioned conjugate gradients (PCG) approach to solving large scale SLAM problems. While direct methods, popular in the literature, exhibit quadratic convergence and can be quite efficient for sparse problems, they typically require a lot of storage as well as efficient elimination orderings to be found. In contrast, iterative optimization methods only require access to the gradient and have a small memory footprint, but can suffer from poor convergence. Our new method, subgraph preconditioning, is obtained by re-interpreting the method of conjugate gradients in terms of the graphical model representation of the SLAM problem. The main idea is to combine the advantages of direct and iterative methods, by identifying a sub-problem that can be easily solved using direct methods, and solving for the remaining part using PCG. The easy sub-problems correspond to a spanning tree, a planar subgraph, or any other substructure that can be efficiently solved. As such, our approach provides new insights into the performance of state of the art iterative SLAM methods based on re-parameterized stochastic gradient descent. The efficiency of our new algorithm is illustrated on large datasets, both simulated and real. |

Lawmakers in Florida are suing Governor Rick Scott over his decision to reject funds approved by the White House for high-speed rail.
Scott became one of three Republican governors to reject federal supporting funds for high speed rail, when he turned down an offer of $2.4 billion to build a line from Orlando to Tampa. But Republican Thad Altman and Democrat Arthenia Joyner don't think Scott should have the right to reject a plan that was already approved by a 2009 law, the Associated Press reports.
"This isn't a monarchy, and he isn't a king," Joyner said.

With Rep. Paul Ryan set to deliver the Republican response to the State of the Union address tomorrow, Sen. Bernie Sanders intends to make the GOP put their money where their mouths are if they want to pretend they support his proposals in his Roadmap for America. Sen. Sanders told Lawrence O'Donnell that if Republicans don't bring Paul Ryan's Roadmap up for a vote, he'll do all he can to force a vote on it in the Senate.
Gotta' love Bernie. As he and O'Donnell discussed, if the Republicans actually have to take a vote on whether to dismantle Social Security and turn Medicare into a voucher system, they're going to bolt in droves. O'Donnell thought they'd be lucky to get more than one or two Senators to vote for it.

I know that I think of working out as a chore and have been looking for some form of exercise that I could find to be fun that will make me workout more.
Men and Women Are Different When it Comes to Losing Weight
This is a little different than normal but the question seems to always come up as to whether it is easier for men to lose weight. Honestly I have given this much thought and don't find that to be the case. Of course there are going to be people to agree and other that disagree but it's something I must address.
You see I personally think that men are just simply fueled more to lose weight and have a stronger desire than most women to be in shape. Does this mean that women don't want to be in shape and have sexy bodies? The answer is NO, but when you look at all the reasons men end up losing weight and actually keeping it off there is a big difference.
A Man's #1 Reason for Losing Weight – WOMEN!
Most men I think will probably agree that nothing makes them want to lose weight and get a great body like a woman. That's right men want to look great so that women will think he's sexy and it makes his confidence that much higher. The fact is that almost everything men do in some regards is to gain some type of recognition from women. It's just how we are built mentally!
From the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, and even the places we go are usually with one thing in mind and that's to find that beautiful attractive woman. For women on the other hand it's not really the same. It's about how they feel and though they want to look sexy they are not going to go to the gym and kill themselves just to look good for men.
We Enjoy Things Most Women Consider Working Out
Let's think about this for a moment. Most women consider hanging out shopping, going to the movies, and having lunch with friends fun. However a lot of women consider exercising and running to be strictly forms of working out and a weight loss process. What you will find with men on the other hand is because of our competitive nature we play basketball, football, volleyball, and things of the like.
Though these things are fun men tend to spend hours outdoors doing some type of activity and thus are burning more calories. I'm not saying that women don't but what you will find is that the males and females that go surfing, play volleyball, football, skating, and jog for fun tend to be in better shape.
Many women consider anything that makes them sweat to be something that should be considered a workout. And if she is already going to the gym why should she be working out again when she could be having fun doing something else?
This is Just Part 1 of the Post
Sorry but I don't want this to be entirely too long so I am breaking this into 2 separate posts. Plus I want to hear what others think and this may help me write up the second part of my article. I really want to get your input on this.
I wrote this post on my experiences with friends, clients, and even the interaction I have with my wife when it comes to her working out and staying in shape. Feel free to give you input comments are always welcome. Also look out for the FREE e-book that I should be offering soon to my site visitors.

It is hard for someone who never played any sports as a child to find a fun activity as a woman….can you help?
I have found what works for me by finding what I truly enjoy doing and that has helped me to feel like I am not working out but having fun.
I know that as a woman I certainly enjoy working out but I see where you are coming from. A lot of my friends think I work out too much and I only go to the gym 3 days per week.
When they see me rollerblading and playing beach volleyball they think I am doing it as a workout but these are things I enjoy doing for fun as you mentioned.
You kind of touch on it but I think part of it has to do with the attitude of men. We're problem solvers by nature. We see that we're overweight. We finally come to the conclusion that we don't want to be overweight anymore. We set up a plan and follow through with it until it's done.
Another point is how both men and women react to setbacks. A woman can have a bad weekend of crazy eating, and the following Monday feel down and depressed about it and may very well give up the whole losing weight thing.
A man though will say "okay, that was bad, but time to get back on track." In other words, men don't feel as guilty when they cheat, they simply admit it and move forward, whereas a woman could be full of regret that could make them give up.
Sorry, realize there's a lot of generalizations in there but, just working with the 80/20 rule from what I've seen.:)
I have to some what agree with Mike on this one. Some of your points are valid but I think its mostly about the attitudes of men vs that of women.
How my day goes can directly affect how my workout goes if I decide to work out at all that day. I must admit at one point I just refuse to let go of the belief that it was easier for men to lose weight.
A big problem for me is feeling guilty and letting it ruin my whole week instead of saying it was a bad day it becomes a bad week.
I didnt think I should have to workout at the gym and then on the weekends. There has simply got to be a better way. I have worked out 5 days per week and still not lost any weight. I'm sorry but I still say that its easier for men to lose weight because our bodies differ.
I think that its about wanting it. It not really a matter of man or woman but rather being willing to do what it takes and being realistic.
I think you are right that a lot of women feel like gym time is about losing weight. The gym is only half of the battle. What you eat vs how active you are makes a really big difference in losing weight, being in shape, and not gaining it back.
Interesting points. I think that for men it does make it easier to do things that keep us active because of our competitive nature.
I'm with Mike on the points he brings up. Women will often be very hard on themselves even when the progress she's made has been awesome. One slip in diet, or a week of workouts and she will revert to negative self talk and even give up or set herself back dramatically.
For a guy we will do things like research, make a plan, compete with ourselves and others by going hard on our workouts. But too often it either leads to inaction from too much planning or getting hurt because of the competitive nature in us.
We all have our downfalls. But I do feel that when it comes to physically being able to lose weight we are equal.
I think men have it easier than women. Or maybe its just seems that way. When my husband and I seem to do all the same things he still loses more weight that I do and he is the one eating more and have more so call cheat days. That just sucks!
Thanks for the post but men just seem to have a gear that some women don't. Maybe it is just that we don't give ourselves enough credit for the changes we make and the lbs we do lose.
Its seems that people who have not problems losing weight think that there is no difference between men and women and the ones struggling do. I guess it just depends which side of the fence you are on. Can't wait until the Part 2.
I think its great to hear from both sides. I never really looked at it from a man's point of view just thought they loved working out and their bodies burn fat differently. I still say we women have it tough.
I work out and eat less and find that when I am active not just playing but moving about it helps. I use to complain about losing weight but all I really did was sit on my bum all day only moving to get something to eat and go to the restroom
Excellent point about how guys are more motivated by impressing women and their competitive nature. Since I married, I'm beyond the impressing women stage, but I still am driven by my internal motivation to constantly improve myself.
Women are motivated but I don't that we give what we are doing a chance to actually make a difference in our bodies. We want results that people can see soon but men in my opinion tend to have more patience. What can women do
As women we tend to use food as comfort and when we get together to hang out, we usually get something to eat which makes it hard to reach our weight goals. How can we have a balance of both?

If you think American electorial politics has gotten uglier in recent years, there are a lot of political scholars who agree with you -- and many will be at the CSU Channel Islands campus on Oct. 15 and 16 to present evidence to support that view.
The two-day conference, called "Politics to the Extreme: American political institutions in the 21st century," will be highlighted by a keynote speech on the evening of Monday, Oct. 15, by noted political scientists Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute and Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institution, authors of the new book, "It's Even Worse Than it Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism."
Admission is free, but registration is recommended. Those wishing to attend can register here Sessions will be held all day Monday and from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.. on Tuesday. All sessions will take place in the campus' Grand Salon, Here's the full schedule.
In addition to Ornstein and Mann, other notable presenters include former GOP Congressman Mickey Edwards, now vice president of the Aspen Institute; and scholars from Texas, Florida, Montana, Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania who will be presenting papers. In addition, California Lutheran University political science professor Jose Marichal, author of the new book "Facebook Democracy," will conduct a panel on "Examining Polarization through Congressional Member Facebook Pages."
The conference was organized by CSUCI political science professors Scott Frisch and Sean Kelly.
HMMMM, WHAT'S MISSING? -- One of the biggest fears that voters in Simi Valley have about the new 25th Congressional District is that they won't get the same kind of attention from their member of Congress to which they've grown accustomed. After all, for the last 26 years they've been represented by a fellow who lives in their city and used to be its mayor, Rep. Elton Gallegly.
The heart of the new district is in the Santa Clarita Valley, which is on the other side of the mountains from Simi in Los Angeles County. Still, Simi Valley is home to about a fifth of the district's voters -- a big enough fraction not to be ignored.
An announcement of an an upcoming candidates' forum being distributed by the Valley Industry Association (no, not Simi Valley), however, may reinforce some of those fears. Here's how the announcement describes the geography of the district: "includes the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys, portions of the San Fernando Valley and territory in San Bernardino, Tuolumne, Mono and Inyo counties."
Actually, that's probably less of an insult to Ventura County voters than it seems. That description details the geography of the current 25th District, not the new one. Someone at the (Santa Clarita) Valley Industry Association needs to get a 2012 map.

Operation Centennial Angel, the charity fund-raising flight for Angel Flight East by EAA members Lt. Col. Charles L. "Lindy" Kirkland and Maj. Rob Krieg, is well under way following a 24-hour delay caused by inclement weather on Tuesday. At mid-morning Wednesday (March 17), the two marine pilots had flown to more than 30 Virginia airports and aim to reach 100 by the end of the day. They are flying in a Centennial Edition SR22 provided by Cirrus, flying under the call sign "Angel 100" and squawking 0267.
"It's going very well," said Tami Bream, Angel Flight East Executive Director. "We followed them on the ground this morning through the first 20 airports and we're keeping track of them through Flight Tracker until they get back to Dulles tonight."
The purpose of the flight is to raise money for Angel Flight East, a nonprofit organization that provides free air transportation for those in need of medical treatment far from their homes through its volunteer fleet of pilots and aircraft owners. Kirkland is a command pilot with Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) in Quantico, Virginia, which provides rotary wing transport to the president and vice president, heads of state, and cabinet members. Krieg is also a pilot serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.

United Airlines cut the grounded Boeing 787 from its flying plans at least until June and postponed its new Denver-to-Tokyo flights on Thursday, as airlines continued to tear up their schedules while the plane is out of service.
Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused a battery fire in one plane and forced the emergency landing of another plane last month. The world's 50 787s have been grounded since Jan. 16.
United spokeswoman Christen David said the plane could still fly earlier than June 5 if a fix is found. At that point it would be used as needed around United's system, she said.
United was due to begin flying from Denver to Tokyo's Narita airport on March 31. It's postponing the start of those flights at least until May 12, or longer if the 787 isn't cleared to fly. That
would be almost a year after United began selling tickets for the flight. The 787 is mid-sized and very fuel-efficient.

1 in 4 Americans without health coverage
Reuters, April 20, 2012
As the U.S. Supreme Court ponders the fate of healthcare reform in the current election year, a study released on Thursday shows that one in four working-age Americans went without insurance at some point in 2011, often as a result of unemployment and other job changes. The study by the Commonwealth Fund polled 2,100 people aged 19 to 64 and found that 26 percent of non-elderly adults went without insurance—a percentage that researchers said equals about 48 million people when measured against U.S. Census data.

Beautiful Invitations

Comments about Invitations By Dawn Fresh Start - Invitation:
Beautiful. I really like the invitations.
Comment on this review
Turned out better than I expected
By Anne the pleasantly suprised
from Carolinas
I was pleasantly surprised by the raised lettering! Pro or Con: It was smaller than I expected! I didn't realize from the pictures on the website that the invitation is printed on the front of a card, and the card folds behind it (which can function as an enclosure pocket). The invitation is smaller than I thought--which was fine because it cost less to mail. It was about the size of a notecard, but looked nice. Even with the response cards and a picture of us it only cost a normal first-class stamp to mail.
Made It Easy

About Me Bride, Wedding Planner
Using this product for wedding invitations. Easy to order, good value, and looks nice. Lettering is smaller than I would have hoped for, however. My dad had to have help reading it. Other than the small lettering, I think it's a lovely product at a good value.
Very nice invite
By Summer bride
from Logansport, IN
the cards were great and the envelopes sealed nicely.
Service and delivery comments:
Shipping was very quick
A little to small
By Iza
from Tucson, AZ
This invite was a little small. Had to reorder, liked the style but would of liked in larger size.
Exactly What I Wanted
By TB
from Dallas, TX
This invitation was used for my wedding invites. They arrived quickly. The look great. Simply and elegant which is what I wanted. Changes the font color to navy bc that is my color for the wedding and its not too over powering like navy can be sometimes. Very happy
Not what I was expecting
By YellowBee48
from North Dakota
These are not what I was expecting at all. Clearly I did not read close enough but I did not realize wedding invitations even came this small. They're literally the size of reception card. I also did not realize they are a card that opens. The photo is beyond misleading. I thought I was ordering one sheet of paper. I'm embarrassed to send these out. Such a waste of money.
Looks awesome!!!!
By Liz

Hi! Im seriously looking into offering a lawn treatment serive to my coustomers this year to compliment the grass cutting side of my buisness. I have an idea of how much each treatment will cost me but would like some more advice on pricing! Dose any one know how much companys like greenthumb charge for this kind of service?
Hi Andrew
For a start most of these companies have a really bad reputation in the professional Grounds care industry for the simple reason they try and push unwanted products and treatments onto their customers.
A lot of them have never done the training and are just following a schedule.
Therefore I would suggest before you offer treatment ensure you know what you are talking about. Explain to your customers the benefits of the treatments you are suggesting and why they should be carried out and at what time of year is best. Then explian the problems that are being dealt with by the treatments you are reccomending.
Also ensure you have the relevant Coshh certificates. You will need to keep all cemicals in a secure store and keep reccords of everything you do.
On this basis you should work out the time the job will take the cost of the machinery and cemicals you are using and also include the additional cost of your training and extra insurance. I would not worry about what the others charge as you will be offering this to your own clients.
Given the above and if done right and to the benefit of your clients there should be a good profit margin to be had.
Thanks for your advice! have recently received my PA1 & PA 6 so up to date with that! I have a good knowlage of turf weeds and what needs to be done to controll them! Moss is also a big issue with a lot of lawns so applying a treatment and scarifing will also be undertaken!
I think your pricing depends on wheher you want to go for volume or niche. I recently picked up a new lawn treatment customer who had been getting treatments from one of the national lawncare companies, he had been chatting to their operative who said he had 32 lawns to treat that day. I have never treated more than 10 lawns in a day because I like to spend time both treating the lawn and talking to the customer to make sure I am delivering a quality service. I charge a competitive rate which makes sense to me.
32 lawns is a hell of a lot! Thats when a quality service usaly goes out the door! I would like the high volume but will want 100% of my coustomers to be happy with the service! Was thinking of making up a panphlet to sell this service and hand deliver them to surrounding areas!
As has been said before on many and various threads, ignore what everyone else charges, you and only you know how much YOU need to charge.
I would say basically ignore Green Thumbs pricing as it can be erratic and is often based on carrying out operations at seasonally incorrect times of year. I have seen them scarifying and hollow tining in the frost in mid December...
My business ANP Services Spalding provides many lawn care services (www.anpservicesspalding.com), so I know, from experience good lawn care work takes time, spreading products both ways to ensure even coverage, scarifying both ways to ensure even debris removal, using a spring tine hand rake to get to the debris around slabs/paths/edges where the machine can't get, collecting up and disposing of the arisings (many lawn care firms don't do that)...
As has been said before, leaflet marketing normally gives an approx 2% return - what other forms of marketing were you intending to use to 'push' this service?
Are you hiring or buying machines as this is all additional costs???
All things to think about before you start setting pricings....
Ignore greenthumb. Make sure you are charging a premium on top of your normal internal charging out rate. Do a good job and dont try and do 32 jobs in one day! Thats ridiculous. Even in a 12 hr day that is about one every 20 mins.
I already do leaflet/poscard marketing and have good results from it 2% may sound low but it dose pay off! i get arround 50% of my work from this (landscaping & Gardening)
Will be hiring scarifier & hollow tine to start with to see how it goes!
Most of my treatments will be in liquid form via backpack sprayer ( Berthoud ) Have my PA1 & Pa6
I pay just under £90 for a weeks hire of a camon LS42 scarifier and the same price for a weeks hire of a camon LA20 aerator. At these prices it does'nt make sense to buy one. I have my own set of hollow tines and solid tines in case one breaks (which they do) and so i can swap and change between them at will. I looked into a pedestrian sprayer but they have a spray width which is too wide for a lot of gardens. I'm sticking with the knapsack for now. Good luck with your venture!
Thanks stuart! It dose make sence hiring equiptment that im not going to use every week, big outlay otherwise!
Hi Andrew, I know this is from febuary - how did you get on ??
Most of my current customers have requested me to carry out the extra service of lawn treatments, so yea its going well thanks. Been so busy with other work to really promote this service but will be soon!
Good, when your are there every other week they will trust you! If you need any help/advice let me know. I ran quite a large lawn care business for over 10 years with more than 3000 customers & 4 vans, just ask. Take it easy.

Customer Reviews

Not a fan of this one
I am a big fan of some of the nakd bars, but not this one. It has two ingredients dates and crushed cashew nuts and that is how it tastes of pureed dates and a weeny bit of cashews, but more of pureed dates. Dates are used as a base for many -all?- of nakd bars, but it works as a concept for many, but not this one.
07 May 2013
Beware of the date stones
I've had two of these Nakd bars now and both times I bit down on something that was so hard, it really hurt my teeth. As the only other ingredient is cashews, I can only assume that I am biting down on small pieces of date stone. The bars themselves are quite pleasant to begin with, but are ultimately too sweet for my tastes and I struggle to finish a whole one. However, it's the pieces of stone that will stop me from buying these again.
10 April 2013
One of the most atrocious disgusting things I've ever tasted - a cross between wet cement and a paste of some description, NEVER again.
21 November 2011
like a fig newton, without the newton.
very squidgy texture and mouthfeel. not particularly satisfying and wouldn't buy again.
19 October 2011
Delicious and nutritious!
These are really lovely - sweet, with a very satisfying 'mouth feel' and enough substance to feel like a treat. My kids happily eat these where they might be asking for a chocolate or cereal bar otherwise and I'm a fan too!

What are the symptoms of bipolar disorder?
Bipolar mood changes are called "mood episodes." Your child may have manic episodes, depressive episodes, or "mixed" episodes. A mixed episode has both manic and depressive symptoms. Children and teens with bipolar disorder may have more mixed episodes than adults with the illness.
Mood episodes last a week or two—sometimes longer. During an episode, the symptoms last every day for most of the day.
Mood episodes are intense. The feelings are strong and happen along with extreme changes in behavior and energy levels.
Children and teens having a manic episode may:
- Feel very happy or act silly in a way that's unusual
- Have a very short temper
- Talk really fast about a lot of different things
- Have trouble sleeping but not feel tired
- Have trouble staying focused
- Talk and think about sex more often
- Do risky things.
Children and teens having a depressive episode may:
- Feel very sad
- Complain about pain a lot, like stomachaches and headaches
- Sleep too little or too much
- Feel guilty and worthless
- Eat too little or too much
- Have little energy and no interest in fun activities
- Think about death or suicide.

E3 2012: Need For Speed: Most Wanted Hands-On Preview
While Need For Speed drifts from arcade-inspired antics, to narrative-driven tours of the United States - and everything in between - one thing remains unchanged: Criterion consistently delivers top-tier offerings. Electronic Arts seems well aware of this widely-acknowledged appreciation for the Guildford-based studio, as Need For Speed: Most Wanted's promotional campaign has their name all over it. As it turns out, this intentionally-close association is more than sound business strategy. The latest Need For Speed title, Most Wanted, combines what amounts to Criterion's arguably best work - the open-world design of Burnout: Paradise, alongside the cat-and-mouse chases of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit.
Most Wanted truly feels like a mash-up of those two very different racers, and that's not a criticism. If anything, adding some consequence, in the form of a watchful police presence, to a sandbox playground makes a lot of sense. While driving around the city - picking up races, finding jumps, and breaking through billboards on the fly - cops will actively take notice of your erratic traffic violations. Toss in Criterion's expertly-designed environments for good measure, and it all comes together into a package that's shaping up convincingly.
Need For Speed: Most Wanted also includes the Autolog stats-tracking, social system, which became a signature feature of Hot Pursuit. However, Criterion is promising Most Wanted's friend integration will be more meaningful and prominent than ever before. The game will constantly track your accomplishments, movements and tendencies, displaying them alongside those of your friend's within the game world. Whether you're involved in an online competition or simply churning through the campaign, evidence of Most Wanted's community won't be far away. Additionally, all of these actions will go toward the game's progression system, allowing players to customize and share their cars. Bottom line: Criterion aims to keep players engaged long after the launch hype has come and gone.
We played through a multiplayer session, which highlighted Most Wanted's playlist-driven approach to online racing. After meeting at one of the launch points scattered throughout the city, our group seamlessly entered into a traditional race to the finish, jumping contest, crash rally, and so on. These events are part of a playlist, which continues without the need of a menu screen. Instead, players are constantly encouraged to participate and be good (or bad) citizens of the game. For example, the first player to arrive at each launch point is rewarded with experience; after finishing a race, players can decide to turn around and attempt to take-down others for additional score; the list goes on and on...
When all was said and done, the common thread I noticed throughout our time with Need For Speed: Most Wanted was the endlessly clever ways Criterion have come up with to keep players on track, guiding them along without it feeling forced or invasive. Combine that with the game's expectedly-solid racing mechanics and world design, and Most Wanted appears to be well on the way toward its Oct 30th release date on PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Vita.

Hot markets: View 2012 home sale prices by Ann Arbor elementary schools
Related story: 'Shockingly' low inventory of homes for sale in Ann Arbor area as market heats up
Residential home sale prices in Ann Arbor neighborhoods are showing gains year-over-year, but most markets are still down from 2005 sale prices.
AnnArbor.com file photo
The 2012 year-end data is optimistic: Of 19 elementary school areas, 17 posted gains in average sales prices.
The elementary neighborhood with the biggest one-year value gain was Northside, which was up 15.68 percent in 2012. Homes in that area sold for an average of $152 per square foot, or about $304,000 for a 2,000-square-foot home. That compares to $186 per square foot in 2005. Allen, Eberwhite, King and Wines also posted value increases of more than 10 percent in 2012.
The two elementary areas showing drops in average sales prices from 2011 to 2012 were Lawton (down 1.26 percent) and Burns Park (down .61 percent).
"Where you see the greatest improvements in price is areas that got hit harder," said Rick Taylor of the Charles Reinhart Company. "When you think about the different areas that suffered, Burns Park didn't suffer as much."
Data compiled by Martin Bouma
Still, the only elementary school area where homes are selling above 2005 levels is in the Angell district, where homes sold for an average of $240 per square foot in 2012, compared with $235.61 in 2011.
Four areas are still 20 percent or more below 2005 values: Allen (down 24.14 percent), Carpenter (down 22.68 percent), Mitchell (down 37 percent), and Pittsfield (down 22.17 percent).
The data is reflective of regional and national trends: Home sale prices are slowly rising as the real estate market accelerates. The National Association of Realtors reports home sale prices in January were up 12.3 percent across the nation, marking the 11th consecutive month of year-over-year increases.
Realtors and house hunters in the Ann Arbor area market are reporting extremely low inventory of homes for sale, which is helping to drive price increases. In January, the average residential sale price in the county was $224,686, a 33.7 percent increase over the same period in 2011, according to the Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors.
"We're seeing such a jump," said Martin Bouma of Keller Williams.
Along with Ann Arbor, home sale prices per square foot increased in every school district in the county last year. Willow Run was up 35.27 percent over 2011, while Ypsilanti was up 22.62 percent. However, both districts are still down roughly 50 percent from 2005 prices.
The 2012 value gains in other districts based on sales prices per square foot include:
- Chelsea: 12.66 percent
- Saline: 5.81 percent
- Dexter: 8.78 percent
- Lincoln: 12.10 percent
- Milan: 6.18 percent

Direct communication between the PC and the FIRST Ren-W is likely best at 57600, M,8,2. After that, communication in a wireless daisy-chain must be at 57600,N, 8, 1 because Renard strips the parity and space bits out of the data. In fact, this happens with the very first PIC the data gets to -- any data flowing to the next PIC no longer has the parity and extra stop bit. The parity and extra stop bit serve to slow down the Xbee radio just a bit because the XBee's internal CPU/clock runs slightly hot -- a little bit faster than 57600 which is the exact speed the 16F688's are running. The dropped data at the 8th consecutive pic is actually a data overrun problem.
I have confirmed that wireless to two ss24's is okay at 57600, N, 8, 1, but the third SS24 in the chain will encounter the problem at channels 57-64. The problem with daisy-chaining wirelessly is that there's no way to reset the communication protocol to 57600, M, 8, 2 when the data comes out of the SS24 (or any Renard controller for that matter) and goes into the Ren-W. So setting a daisy-chaining XBee to use the M,8,2 parameter will cause communication problems between the SS24 and the Ren-W resulting in garbage data for the rest of the daisy-chain.
The solution is not to try to daisy-chain to a one or a set of controllers having more than 56 contiguous channels. In that case, using 57600, N,8,1 is perfectly fine. Daisy-chaining from an SS24 to another SS24 is fine; daisy-chaining from one SS24 to TWO more ss24's in a row is fine. But daisy-chaining to 3 SS24s in a row will not.
Confused? Just think about it a bit... it will come to you...

Lisbon, the dazzling city that stretches along the banks of the Tagus, is an enchanting capital providing ample opportunity for shopping, and for enjoying a rich nightlife all year round. With the port and marinas situated nearby, watersports are a natural attraction too. Boasting springtime temperatures during the winter and cool summers freshened by a breeze blowing in from the Atlantic, Lisboa, offers a rich and impressively integrated diversity. Every year in June, the streets of the city come alive with the feasts in honour of the popular saints. The Graça Quarter and the churches of São Vicente de Fora and Santa Engrácia are definitely worth a visit and in the typical narrow medieval streets one can often hear typical 'fado' music being played and sung at night.

There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came.
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lowly barricade..
At dawn.
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/empty-chairs-at-empty-tables-lyrics-les-miserables.html ]
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me.
[The ghosts of those who died on the barricade appear.]
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more.
[The ghosts fade away.]
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more...

It was Huntsville Utilities that cut the fiber not a Utility Contractor!!!!!!!!!
Even if you have a backup internet/phone provider, if the main communication pipe is down all providers are down. Our company ran into that in the past. We have dual internet / phone services and were able to switch over this week but we have had some cases where both providers were down.
From article "After the April 27, 2011, tornadoes cut power at his business for several days, Thompson installed a natural gas generator to keep the company operational."
During the 2011 tornado's, Charter, AT&T, and Knology "internet" was down. The generator might have kept the lights on... but it wouldn't have given him internet through a landline provider. All the switches, repeaters, etc around town that run the internet were down due to the power being out during the 2011 tornado. anyone who had AT&T Digital (internet) was likely going to be down also. (maybe there were a few that were close to the office that had it).
He needs to look at the entire "big picture" if he wants true redundancy. Some companies actually have servers set up in geographic separate ares because of this.
I am looking at Verizon as a backup service to internet!

Hayward, CA, United StatesGreat mountain getaway
My family and I enjoy this cabin. It has all the amenities you need for cooking (well stocked kitchen) , playing (pool table, ping pong, basketball, air hockey, lake access) and comfort (air conditioning). Great cabin for large families.
San Leandro, CA, United StatesWoodwardia 10 Cabin
Great cabin, nice amenities, I would definitely stay here again. It was in a very quiet neighborhood with animal life all around. My kids loved it! Only drawback that I can mention is it is on a steep hill about 0.8 miles from town so it is not a cabin I would recommend for people who are unable to go up and down steep hills on a walk.
Deepak B.
Fremont, CA, United StatesExcellent Facilities and great location.........................
We stayed here for the memorial day weekend. We were a little worried looking at the pics of woodwardia cabin online. But when we actually entered the house, it was much much better than the pics. The house is clean and spacious. It has a lot of options for entertainment. And also pretty close to the Yosemite national park. Only a 90 minute drive. The staff is very supportive, especially Margie. She really takes time to explain the guests with things they need to figure out before visiting. Overall, I am more than happy for staying in Woodwardia. We had a great stay.
Fairfield, CAJoyful Respite in the Woods
Enjoyed a quiet respite in the comfortable cabin at the top of the hillin wooded area. Golf, swimming, hiking nearby. Perfect spotfor our family vacation!

San Ramon, CAWoodwardia cabin
Have loved this cabin for the past three years but am very disappointed that the owners have decided to keep it for themselves one day into our vacation week. Now we have to find another place to stay for the first night...very inconvenient, as we are
with a large group that is there the same week every year and we have big plans for that one night! -

This is a great place. It is clean and everything is newer inside the house. It has lots of great features for entertaining, including a pool table and ping pong table. It is in a beautiful location. We had a wonderful stay.
San Jose, CAGreat place!
Woodwardia 10 was perfect for us. It had everything we needed and more. The pool table, ping pong table and basketball court was enjoyed by all. The decks and the big secluded outside area full of trees were wonderful. It is a great pet friendly place, our Leah loved running all around outside. Our family does plan to return.
Fairfield, CAWarm, Inviting, with all the Comforts of Home!
Wonderful location - shady, quiet except for the soothing sound of a stream flowing down the hill. Warm, inviting decor, along with very comfortable furniture. Good appliances. Well maintained with many special touches that indicate thoughtful owners. We can hardly wait to return next summer!
Jim W.
Windsor, CAJim W.'s review of Woodwardia 10
Our stay was great, the only bad thing were the steel posts near the walkway that we think were supposed to be hose guards. The posts were mushroomed and sharp on the top edges from being pounded in, and I accidentally dragged my leg across one, which dug pretty deeply into my leg and required 11 stitches.
Acampo, CAWe love Twain Harte
We have been coming to TH since the seventy's. The cabin we stayed in has the most wonderful deck so private and a wonderful view (not a deck for small kids) This was the third year we stayed in this cabin and hope to return in Sept.

VELVET UNDERGROUND: Very Protective of Their Banana |
Lou Reed and John Cale, founders of The Velvet Underground, have filed a lawsuit in New York against the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. They are claiming trademark infringement over illegal licensing of the image of the banana that the late artist created for the cover of their 1967 debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico. He was their manager and producer at the time. The lawsuit accuses the foundation of seeking to "deceive the public" into believing the band has given their "sponsorship or approval" for the artwork to be used on such products as cases for iPhones and iPads. They are seeking unspecified damages. Source: The Wall Street Journal |
