Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by tazz, Apr 6, 2000.
how do you guys keep annual bluegrass out and why is in some yards and not others
Poa annua is favored by frequent irrigation, compacted soils, short mowing, and overfertilization (especially early spring fert). These are cultural conditions that can be somewhat controlled. However it is so prolific in some areas, that some golf courses have even gone to trying to preserve the annual blue.
If you can educate the client to accept it in some areas, sometime you are better off. Have seen a pre-em application in late Aug in our area control it, but then you cannot reseed until next spring because of the pre-em. Care must be taken in choosing a short lived pre-em for this reason.
I have one large lawn that has a front yard of reg blue, part back yard of Poa trivialis (always wet, shady, heavy soil), and another back yard of Poa annua (compacted - can't aerate effectively because of tree roots, shady, never dries out). Have only lost the annual blue one year out of last 12, and next year it was all filled in with little effort on my part. The client accepts this practice, because removing 6 fabulous oaks is the only way we're going to get anything else growing there.

I'm assuming it's in bermuda. Use a pre emergent in September and if that does'nt suppress it enough use Kerb as a post emergent spray. Kerb works best in cool weather and is a restricted pesticide, but it works good on poa annua.
Great post Jim. Your info is most always correct and helpful.
The common name for poa triv is rough bluegrass.
On our warm season grasses an application of Simazine in the Fall will go along way in preventing Poa, it also keeps many other winter annuals from germenation.
Sorry, tazz, didn't check if you were north or south. Guess you southern guys have easier ways to control Poa annua. But down there it is really annual. We can keep it alive in northern areas, unless a heat fluke hits us.
Lawrence- also called roughstalk bluegrass, but most common "common name" is usually just your first, "Poa triv". Lot easier to say.

We have both rough and annual bluegrass they are not the same. Poa annua is very low growning and fairly dark green. Poa trivialis is a perenial that is more yellow green and taller & faster growing. Poa trivialis is becoming a big problem in fescue for us.
how do you guys control unwonted poa triv?
The seed germinates in cool weather from late summer to late fall. To prevent seed germination use DCPA (DACTHAL) in early to mid fall depending on your area (the farther south - the later). Core aeration will help in fighting new arrivals of annual and cutting the grass above 2 1/2" will also help as lawns above this height rarely see Poa Annua.

Mario Merz
Artist Mario Merz was born in 1925 in Milan, Italy most known for his igloo sculptures and for being one of the key figures, along with his wife, sculptor Maris Merz, of Arte Povera. Arte Povera, translating to "Poor Art", was a movement that rejected institutions and established, conventional mentalities. The movement took on a reduced form of art that favoured natural materials and style, a style that is prominent in Merz's work when observing the various types of materials used to build his igloos. Much of his artwork also included the Fibonacci sequence of numbers emphasizing progression, creation, and growth and neon lights and tubes, showing his experimentation with light, energy, movement, and organic and inorganic forms. Merz was also highly influenced by architecture and how bodies occupy spaces.
Merz's work has been displayed in several museums, some of which include the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Guggenheim in New York, and the Institute of Contemporary Art in London. He has won several awards as well, which include the Ambrogino Gold Prize, the Oskar Kokoschka Prize, the Arnold Bode Prize, and the Praemium Imperiale for sculpture. Merz passed away in 2003 in Milan, Italy.

I was using this palette today on a watercolour commission. I have to see if they still make them like this.
Glenys gave it to me in 1990. I loved it then and still do. But before It travelled with me recently, I had to tape all round the outside edges, to stop it leaking when I have washes in the lid. Seems to be working so far. You can see the cracks in the pic.
I rarely clean the colours out in the front. I do clear the ones from the lid if I need to, but sometimes what's there adds to the interest of the next painting.
Must say it looks very colourful here, just before I started my work today.

We who work at PCMag.com are constantly bombarded by friends and relatives for help with their computers, software, and gadgets—and of course we're happy to help, gratis. But what can you do if you're not personally acquainted with someone in the tech industry? You can take advantage of a professional tech support service like those included in this roundup—Geek Squad, iTOK.net, and iYogi. You most likely won't have to take or send your PC anywhere—these services use remote-control software to get in and clean up, tune-up, or set up your hardware and software.
Testing tech support services is a grueling process: You have to set up the problem PC, software, and devices, you have to choose and purchase an account, and then engage in several actual support calls to experience a cross-section of the company's staff. Then you have to reconfigure the test PC back to the state it was in for the next service. Because of all this, we homed in on just the top three providers: Geek Squad, iTOK.net, and iYogi. In fact, none of the four services we tested several years ago in addition to these three still exists.
Pricing can be a tricky matter for tech support services: Most offer both one-incident pricing and subscription pricing. If you're a frequent but inexpert technology user, the subscription pricing makes the best sense, especially when the service includes a security software subscription. Here's a comparison of the tested services' pricing options for a single incident, the first year of a subscription, or subsequent years:
|Tech Support Service Pricing
|Single Incident (Minimum)
|First Year Plan
|Subsequent Years of Plan
|Number of PCs Covered/Cost for Additional
|Includes Security Software?
|Geek Squad
|3/$19.99 per mo.
Note that the single incident price here is the minimum, usually for a PC tune-up or hardware device installation; more difficult tasks like data recovery will run this up into the hundreds. Note also that iTOK has lower-priced subscriptions, too, but, with those, you still have to pay for each service call.
How We Tested
My test plan for these services involved at least three separate support sessions; that way, I not only tested for different kinds of problems, but I also got a sample of several technicians for each service. I presented three challenges of decreasing difficulty. The first, malware cleanup, was the most important from the standpoint of what users need in these services. I loaded up a Windows 8 laptop with 15 samples of rogue system protection software, unwanted browser add-ins, and other nasties and ask the service to clean it up. The same set of problem software was reproduced for each support vendor by re-imaging the PC using O&O DiskImage 8.
In the second support call, I asked the technician to help me with a non-functioning iTunes installation. Finally, in the third and easiest session, the task was to set up a biometric health monitoring wristband device that didn't have the necessary software installed.
How the Services Fared
So what do you get for your hard-earned cash? In my challenge tests of these services, I found that all of them were staffed by people who knew their way around a computer. But the processes, depth of the repair software tool arsenal at their disposal, and determination to drive through to a satisfactory result differed among them.
Every one of the services exhibited shortcomings, and occasionally failed me. The good thing about subscribing to one of these large services, however, is that if one technician doesn't complete the task, you can call back as many times as you like until the problem is behind you. One tech amusingly said "You can call me 100 times a day if you like!"

Thanks for posting.
Have you tried using a different device with your IO Dock II, as well as a different set of headphones? Does the sound output normally through your headphones?
Hey Bill,
Thanks for the fast respond. Yes I have tried with a couple of diferent headphones, and yes also it sounds perfect through the headphones output. Yesterday i did rehearsal and it worked good. So Im not sure in case the Ipad was the problem I reset it to default and it seems that it's working well now... I'll let you know if it happens again.
Thanks a lot Bill for your time!

Happy Saturday!
A few weeks ago I talked with the lovely Miranda for her podcast called Tea and Tattle. We talked about inspiration, creativity and books. It was such a pleasure, Miranda was a generous and attentive interviewer. Go check out her lovely lifestyle Blog and Podcast. Find Miranda on instagram at @mirandasnotebook and @mirandasbookcase. And the Tea and Tattle website is here!
Miranda has interviewed many fascinating people including the author Pen Vogler who wrote Dinner With Dickens and with whom I worked on the Penguin Great Food Series. Which ties in rather nicely as I had my first ever taste of syllabub last night (I learnt about this from the book called Everlasting Syllabub and the Art of Carving by Hannah Glasse) at a wonderful super club at @eastdulwichchef run by the incredible Suzanne James. I confess I had some dessert for breakfast that I could not leave behind and that with picture of a rainbow of classics has cheered up this grey old Saturday.

Moving house? Book an appointment today on 07916336623
Moving house can be a stressful experience, so why not let Handy Locks take the worry out of how many people have keys to your new property! Do you know who has keys to your new home? If the answer is NO then give Handy Locks a call.
Around 40,000 homes will change hands this year with many buyers unaware of how many keys are in circulation with a third party.
The rate at which spare keys are not reclaimed is at the highest in rental properties, where tenants do not reclaim spare keys when they move on. The main recipients of spare keys for the majority of householders are family members (aprrox 75%).
By not changing the locks and not ensuring that all points of access are secure, you could be putting your home at risk! If you were to be broken into and your possessions damaged or stolen your insurance claim may be void, as some insurance companies will not pay out if you have not changed the locks on moving house and not done enough to secure your property.
Here at Handy Locks we can assess your needs, change and if needs be upgrade your current locks on doors and windows, including garages. All locks will be supplied and fitted to British Standard 3621, which is now required by most insurance policies!

Rafalca, the dressage horse part-owned by Mitt Romney's wife Ann, made a solid Olympic debut today as rider Jan Ebeling ignored the media hype and political jibing surrounding them.
"There certainly was a lot of media attention going on but I think it turned out to be a good thing for the sport. And I don't really get distracted by these things," the U.S. rider said after finishing the first leg of the dressage contest.
And the world's most famous dressage horse? "I think she's peaking just at the right time."
Democrats have derided dressage as elitist and brandished Rafalca – as well as Ann's role as patron of dressage rider Ebeling – as more evidence that the U.S. Republican presidential candidate is out of touch with the common man.
Ebeling picked up a provisional score of 70.213 percent, putting him in fourth place after eight riders.
He said his second pirouette – when a horse pivots at the canter around stationary hind legs – was a bit off. But he was pleased with his piaffes – a high-level movement where the horse trots on the spot.
"I think I had a really good ride. I am very happy with it. I think my second pirouette started out a little bit large. She jumped off the line a bit," he said. "But overall it was great."

Abandoned almost 20 months ago, this weather-worn Enzo will be the prize draw of a supercar police sale.
In what is set to become the most expensive police sale in history, Dubai police will auction off 23 luxury vehicles on Wednesday. A $1.6 million Ferrari Enzo, one of only 399 ever built, will be included in the supercar police sale after it was left in a car park 20 months ago. The British owner is believed to have abandoned the rare supercar after receiving one too many parking tickets.
This is not unusual in a country where debt is a crime. Many expats that rack up debt flee to avoid doing jail time, leaving behind their prized rides as well as property. Previous rare supercars left to rot in the hot sun include Jaguar XJ220 and NSX. After a car is abandoned for six months, Dubai police has the right to auction it off. A total of 129 cars will be auctioned including three other Ferraris, and seven top-of-the-range Porsches, Corvettes, Mercedes, BMWs, Range Rovers and Dodges. Fines on the cars average around DH99,000 or $27,000.
In good condition an Enzo can fetch up to $1.85m. The supercar has a 6.0-liter V12 engine capable of 660hp and a top speed of 217mph. It can reach 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds and Enzos, first built in 2002, are so rare every time one bites the dust the others increase in value. However this particular model has spent almost two years in the Dubai sun where 115 degrees F is not an unusual thermometer reading and thus is likely to be severely damaged. That said, getting your hands on an Enzo is no easy task so expect someone to part with a fair wedge of cash. Thanks to Alex for tipping the story.

A Museum in Honor of Phillip Goldson
On Monday the National Institute of Culture and History held the formal opening of Goldson House, a museum and research and education institute dedicated to the life and legacy of Philip Goldson. Goldson is hailed as a national hero and a defender of Belizean democracy, and Goldson House is a tribute to his work on behalf of the nation. The institute was constructed at Goldson's home in Belmopan and opened in the company of his family members, political compatriots, fans and friends.
Diane Haylock, President, NICH
"Space one features a chronology of the life of Mr. Goldson, and it attempts to place his life and experiences in its proper historical context. In space two we have given emphasis to Mr. Goldson's contributions as a writer and as a journalist and we especially feature his contribution to the anti-colonial movement and to freedom of speech through the recollection of his imprisonment. You will recall that along with Leigh Richardson Mr. Goldson spent time in jail because of his views about Belize's eventual achievement of Independence. In the third space we personalized Mr. Goldson and feature him in photos including his family. It also contains an important narrative about his philosophical and faith-based approach to life and work. In the fourth space we have set up an audiovisual room which will feature a variety of interviews and recordings done by his family, friends and close associates regarding his life and work. It also features memorabilia or mementos, each of which provides us with a glimpse of who he was. Space five highlights the origin and span of Mr. Goldson's political life, and is built around the theme of his contribution to pioneering and defending Belize's democracy and its political institutions. And the last space is where we focus on a few of his many contributions, generally, to Belize."

Five years ago, Brooks made a concerted effort to develop the theater, music and visual arts
programs, elevating them to be a vibrant and valuable major discipline within a Brooks
education. As the programs developed, Brooks added faculty and classes, new requirements and a tiered approach to advanced learning in the arts.
As a result of the expanded programs, a new obstacle arose — finding facilities to house the programs now while planning for future expansion, 100 years or so down the road. The new Center for the Arts addresses those needs, provides breathing space for the programs and some spaces we didn't have before, such as additional visual art studios, classroom space and ensemble rooms.
Construction is proceeding on schedule, with some exciting developments happening in the last month. Most notably, steel (including the west and east basement stairs) was delivered to campus as the first classes got underway, closely followed by the delivery of large portions of what will be the building's air ducts. The first beams of steel were added to the west basement structure, as the east basement's concrete walls were setting. By the last week of September taller slabs of concrete walls had been poured, the first signs of the main street facade of the building. Other less noticeable but equally important steps are happening in the process including waterproofing the foundation and backfilling the basement walls with soil reserved from the initial excavation of the site. We also installed underground plumbing, electrical and drainage. In trenches by the foundation, passersby can see steam lines exiting the new structure and connecting to the admission and head of school offices.
While construction continues, the classroom experience for the current school year has been
approached from a creative direction, as Chair of the Arts Department Robert Lazar explains,
"This is not the year without a building; it is the year we're doing cool and interesting work."
Theater and music students will have an opportunity to experience working in various different
spaces off-campus and in the community. While visual arts classes will focus on the natural
beauty of the world around us, leveraging our campus' incredible landscape and working out of
unique spaces, such as the boathouse. As a community, Brooks has found suitable places for
each of the classes displaced by construction and finding creative ways to adapt.

Yesterday, Teagan and I made tonight's dinner. Pizza Casserole! Yay!
I got everything ready, chopped up the bread and the tomatoes. Instead of the prosciutto the recipe called for, I used meatballs, and cut those up. Everything was in it's own bowl, waiting for Teagan to help put the final dish together.
And she was a good helper. She listened, and followed directions very well. The bread was in the big bowl, but then she got to add the other ingredients, tomatoes, cheese, meatballs. Stirring was a hit! I am very glad I used an extra big bowl to put this together in.
I ended up breaking the eggs and whisking them up. But she watched, counting the eggs as they went in the bowl, to make sure I didn't put too few or too many in. I also put the mixture into the pan and spread the eggs over top.
Stu worked from home today, so he pulled it out and put it into the oven. Yay!
We all ate dinner together – a rare-enough luxury! – and enjoyed it. Teagan didn't like her tomatoes, though she did eat a few. Ashlin, on the other hand, loved the tomatoes, and probably ate a few of Teagan's. Even Stu liked it.
We will totally be making this again. It was so easy to put together. Next time, I would make sure to get the egg and sour cream mixture more evenly spread. And add the basil – I thought I had some, but didn't. It was still yummy.

HF antenna for the truck
I swapped out antennas for the truck for this weekends camping trip.
I have several sets of MFJ type Hamstick antennas for the truck but frankly storing and changing them is bit of pain. I decided to try something similar to what I am using the car these days.
I tried several different configurations
- Coil + 102" whip (base loaded) 12m-->80m
- Coil + 20" mast + 48" whip (base loaded) 15m-->75m
- Coil + 48" whip (base loaded) 10m-->60m
- 20" mast + coil + 48" whip (center loaded) 10m-->60m
Ultimately I am going to use option #4 for this weekend. I did not like that load of the 102" whip moving around in the wind as it has quite a bit of mass compared to the other options.
The configuration for the truck seemed quite a bit more complex to setup compared to with my car. The radio in the truck did not agree with the analyzer nearly as well as my experience doing this with my car. It took about 2.5 hours to setup the various configurations and then measure the results for each band.
This combination should work fine and I can quickly dissemble and store the components in the rear of my truck when they are not needed. With the tuning notes it should be pretty easy to change bands with a minimum amount of hassle.

A Columbia man who says he was sexually abused by a Catholic brother in 1985 has won a $500,000 court order.
Earlier this month, a St. Louis County judge ordered Brother William C. Mueller, 71, to pay the penalty in a civil suit stemming from accusations that he abused Bryan Bacon, 40, of Columbia. The abuse is alleged to have occurred when Bacon was a 15-year-old sophomore at St. John Vianney High School in St. Louis.
Bacon � now an attorney with the law office of Van Matre, Harrison, Hollis, Pitzer and Taylor � said he doesn�t expect to see a penny of compensation from the ruling and will not attempt to collect it from Mueller.
Still, he said, he felt obligated to pursue the legal matter in support of dozens of men who have filed suits in three states against Mueller and had no success inside a courtroom.
�This is the only judicial recognition of what he�s done,� Bacon said. �It�s just a determination of recognizing what he did to all of us. He was pretty prolific.�
Mueller first worked at Vianney from 1962 to 1966 and was transferred to schools in Colorado and Texas, where he was followed by accusations of sexually sadistic and predatory behavior.
In 1983, Mueller was sent for treatment to a psychological center in Jemez Springs, N.M., but after eight months, he was returned to Vianney, where he served as vice principal in charge of students.
�To me, that�s criminal,� Bacon said. �They knew he had these tendencies, they sent him to treatment, and then as dean of students he�s given free access to us. That�s insane.�
Three years ago, Bacon reached a settlement with the Marianist Province of the United States, the St. Louis-based order that operates Vianney. The church is believed to have paid out at least $4 million in settlement agreements to other victims alleging abuse by Mueller, according to the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, a group that advocates for victims.
In a memorandum filed in the case, Bacon said Mueller lured him to his office under the guise of participating in �an experiment� for a master�s degree Mueller claimed to be pursuing in psychology.
After locking the door, Mueller blindfolded him, pressed a knife against his throat and physically abused him, the memo said.
Beginning in the 1960s, dozens of students have lodged similar complaints against Mueller, saying he asked them to participate in after-hours experiments. Some alleged he used ether to render them unconscious.
Mueller was deposed for the civil case but invoked his constitutional right not to incriminate himself when questioned about the abuse. A phone call to Mueller�s attorney yesterday was not returned. Mueller now lives in San Antonio and has left the religious order.
The statute of limitations to file criminal charges for a sex crime of this sort was three years in Missouri at the time the abuse is alleged to have occurred. Still, advocates hope that if potential victims come forward with more recent abuse allegations, charges will be filed.
�We really do believe that most of these men rarely stop,� said David Clohessy, executive director of SNAP. �And that there are boys and maybe girls who were abused by Mueller recently enough that they could file criminal charges. It�s just a matter of whether church officials will do their moral and civic duty and aggressively reach out to victims.�

Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb
I was inspired to dig up this little point and click treasure from 1994 by watching you guys play. I played 1.5 hours today and I love it (still and again). I think you would like it just as much: a fox, a boar and an elk on the quest to find an old relic from the time when there were still humans around. There is a lot of walking involved, weirdly funny dialoges with a lot of (sometimes very strange) animal humor, awesome voice overs and very lovable characters. You can get it on steam and it runs very smoothly.
Thanks for this great show. You're an awesome trio :)
Much love from Germany, Bekki

Migrants fled with whatever little they had with them as huge clouds of black smoke yesterday billowed over the sprawling settlement near the port city of Calais.
The flames destroyed many of the tents and makeshift shelters that housed the migrants.
The authorities are expected to finish clearing the camp by the end of the day.

Currently Viewing Product 57 of 80
Siccagno is Arianna's top Nero d'Avola: is from
organically farmed alberello-trained 35yr vines from sandy chalk soil at 270m.
The wine undergoes a 30 day maceration with 22 months in 25hl Slavonian oak
barrels. The nose reminds one of leather, liquorice and cloves, the palate is
more savoury than fruity, sanguine and meaty.
Arianna describes the wine: "Siccagno is my Nero d'Avola,
born from those concentrated grapes which we precisely call Siccagna. Nero
relates mostly Sicily – that it is wild, but it is also fresh and elegant and
it is red fruit flavoured. That it has something noble and aristocratic, but it
is also melancholic as a poet or a philosopher. That it is passionate, full of
warmth and contrasts. The Nero which is the grape of our fathers and unites
Sicily from corner to corner and it better gathers the spirit for centuries. A
wine which I deeply love and since the first year it has always been with me."

Possess A Six Figure Income With Sucessful Website Marketing
If executed correctly, Internet marketing can be lucrative. Although there are lots of approaches to begin an internet business, most of them are cumbersome. Using our very limited time wisely is exceedingly important. Continue onto the article below for some helpful time management tips when trying to advertise your organization.
Internet marketing is normally most successful once your efforts fill another person's needs. Glance at the top questions of every day, and begin your day by composing some answers. Should you be inside the position to fix an issue for a person, you will be also inside the position to make them right into a customer.
You ought to invest a chance to discover ways to design websites. You will discover web based classes that may instruct you on HTML, CSS and several other programs that assist with web page design. Take a half-hour out of your day to work on your site and you will gain knowledge.
Whenever you can create an Ezine, it may be a great tool to have subscribers and advertise your company. Add family pictures of yourself to inject personality. You can also place in a bit funny sentence about your life or maybe the relationships you might have along with your employees. Catch your customers' attention by using a creative subject line inside your Ezine.
Have your site listed on virtually all of the search engine listings and related directories. There are tons of folks looking at Google always you need to understand when they are looking for something you must offer. Listing your company on yahoo are capable of doing wonders in increasing the success of your small business.
Coupons are a fun way to entice your potential customers. People like coupons and they are eager to have a great deal on any other purchases at your website.
Creating and looking after a buyer relationship management (CRM) database can help your web marketing efforts. This will help you keep track of your customers so you will be able to effectively market towards your various customer groups. An additional benefit is basically that you will see what extras your present customers may need, which you may then market directly to them.
It is to your advantage to use buy your customers emotionally included in your service or product. Encourage your audience to picture how much their life would benefit by buying your product. Try and have the customer feel as if that if you make a purchase on the site, they may visit a significant change in their life.
Try using polls on the site to see how your readers feel relating to your content. These polls not simply make visitors seem like their opinion matters, but knowing how users feel in regards to the content of the site, you possibly can make changes to mirror their thoughts and ideas.
Use headlines whenever possible. The title should catch the reader's attention and highlight your offering out of your site. Maybe you might drop the headline and choose an image of the product instead. Graphics add a more animated and fewer outdated element compared to a simple headline.
As shown, Internet marketing should not overreach your available time. Providing you use good time management skills, it will be easy to build your Internet marketing business while enjoying a happy life as well.Anik Singal

Emerge Theme: Becoming Gospel Fluent
Rikk shares, "One of the reasons why so many Christians have trouble living the gospel is that we either do not know our foundational narrative or are still committed to several competing stories. The problem is that we just don't know who we are. In this retreat, in order to help us become "gospel fluent"—where the gospel is as natural to us as sun, sky, and wind—we will talk about just what our foundational story is, and why the Spirit-filled life is utterly essential to our living."
Saturday Optional Breakout Hubs:
Hub #1 - Naturally Supernatural Witness:
Ever felt the tension in between wanting to see people find Jesus and being freaked out by evangelism? Whew! Glad I'm not alone...me too! I take great comfort in the fact that Jesus said "Follow me, I will make you fishers of men." Who's job is it to make us fruitful in evangelism? Jesus'! We just have to follow Him and let Him do the hard work. Join Mike Bidell as we explore practical ways to let Jesus demonstrate His profound love and surprising power through you as you bring the best message on earth wherever you go, perhaps more naturally than you ever imagined.
Hub #2 - God's Vision For Your Career:
You are studying hard to prepare for a lifetime of work in a particular vocation. Your Heavenly Father wants you to be confident that he has placed a high value on you as a worker, the work you are called to do, and the workplace you are called to do this in. Calvin Weber invites you to rediscover God's vision for your career.
Hub #2A - Adventure Hub (Runs at same time as Hub #2)
This year at Emerge 2014, we will be hosting an adventure hub that will guide people either to the majestic waterfalls of Camp Hope or to the top of a mountain bluff which overlooks to the incredible Hope valley. As we hike to our destinations, you will be captivated by the scenery and amazed by God's creation. Our desire is that through outdoor adventure you would be refreshed and experience a moment with God that you would cherish forever. Upon arriving at our destinations we will be led in a simple devotional and moment of prayer and quietness before we head back for hot chocolate. Take the adventure and allow yourself to be refreshed by Jesus through his amazing creation.

I slept well again last night. I got up shortly before 5:00. I dressed and got myself ready for the day. I fed myself and Missy.
For some reason, ever since Missy saw those foxes on Tuesday, she has been hesitant to go outside. She steps out very hesitantly and then wants right back in. She will go out on the patio though...if it's not too hot. Maybe she doesn't smell them over there on the east side of the apartment.
I want to get the dining room vacuumed this morning and also mop the kitchen again. That's about all I have planned. Until I get my social security on the 14th, I am watching my money very carefully. In fact, I put the flowers and border blocks I bought today on my Amazon card.
I watched some of the Comey testimony this morning too. Then I started lunch and missed the rest.
We will have sloppy joes for lunch. I will also fix french fries. I think I also have some pudding and I know I have sugar cookies for dessert. We will have peach tea to drink.
More later....Lunch was fine and Bob took one sloppy Joe home with him. He also brought Mexican Coca Cola for our lunch. It is made with sugar and not high fructose corn syrup. He can get it at Walmart. Mexico and Canada do not allow the use of high fructose corn syrup in their sodas. The body cannot process it and that sweetness pours directly into the bloodstream. No wonder we are all so fat anymore and many have diabetes.
Also, being a simple sugar,
fructose isn't able to suppress the areas of the brain that control
appetite. A study conducted at the University of Southern California
found fructose left people feeling hungry, even after eating, WebMD
reports. Fructose releases less insulin than glucose, another type of
sugar, thereby motivating people to continue eating. Alternatively,
glucose curtails hunger, as the activity in the hypothalamus is slowed.. Enough science lesson....
Anyhow, here it is now. The perennials are daisies and balloon flowers. The border flowers have been there all spring. They are pansies.
I've cooled down some now and I want to get the dining room vacuumed....so...more later...
Well, I never did get the dining room vacuumed but I did go back over to Orchelen's and bought another bag of Miracle Grow and then to the florist again to buy some more flowers and then came home to plant them in the heat of the day. The small new flowerbed looks a lot better now. Maybe tomorrow I can take another photo of that one.
I read the paper about 4:10 and then Bob came over at 5:00 o read it as well and stayed to watch the CBS news. When he left, I took my bath and put my PJs on so I can watch TV with Missy...if there's anything on. I watched quite a bit of the Comey testimony today.
I will go to bed about 9:00 this evening. I got up at 4:45 this morning and did a lot of lifting of bags of two bags of Miracle Grow and seven border stones and planting of flowers. ...some in the heat of the day. I am tired.

Does strength training negatively affect your golf?
The bretzel - A great all around golf stretch
Why you need to separate to improve your golf
Why you can't swing it like your practice swing
How much rotation do you need?
There's a lot talked about the need to turn in the swing. But how much turn is enough and how much is too much? Jeremy explains in this video.
Pelvic Side Bend - Slicers and Hookers pay attention
How your pelvic side bends can be a main cause of hooks & slices. Watch this to find out more.
To book a lesson email firstname.lastname@example.com or book in here.
Pelvis Bend on the backswing.
I've talked about the pelvic bend at setup in a previous blog. In this article I'm discussing how the pelvis should behave on the backswing. Remembering pelvis bend is the forward and backward tilt of the pelvis. (Flexion and extension).
The Ideal
If we start with around 20' of forward flexion at address then as we make our backswing that number should go down to around 15' to allow us to rotate into and load our backswing correctly.
Too much bend
If we see the number go up on the backswing or start above 20' and stay there then we are looking at dynamic S-posture. This is when we create an arch in our lower back as we go back. Creating too much bend will restrict how far we can turn, it will also cause our shoulders to move back on too flat a plane. Most importantly it is a very dangerous position for your back and repetitions of swings with this flaw will almost certainly result in back injury.
Losing the bend
Conversely if you lose too much bend on the way back this indicates that too much is happening with pelvis on the way back. For people with moderate to good flexibility this will usually cause an over-rotation and over swing. Inflexible people often get in this position to try and complete the backswing. The problem with completing the backswing this way is that you'll lose stability and definitely lose your posture on the backswing.
The solution
Firstly make sure you get your posture correct at address. See the pelvic bend at address to get the lowdown on this. Once your setup is nailed down make sure you keep the abdominals engaged for the entirety of the backswing.
Obviously prior to doing this you need to make sure you have the mobility and stability in your body to be able to make the swing. If you don't have the adequate range of motion then you may not be able to make a full backswing without some compromises. If you lack the stability you may not be able to feel the core engagement required.
If you'd like to come in for a lesson or a TPI screening the drop me an email email@example.com or book in here.
Forward Bend in the back Swing
I've previously talked about the pelvic bend in the swing. For this blog I want to talk torso. It's obvious to everyone that the golfer is bent forward at address. This is a given. For an optimum we are looking at around 40' of forward bend at address. This will vary depend on the athlete but as an average it's a good marker. What people don't realise is by how this bend with change during the swing. In order to stay centred and make a good rotation in the backswing a golfer will lose nearly all their forward bend. I feel for most people your forward bend should drop to between 0 and 10' at the top of the swing. The forward bend is replaced by side bend (which has been mentioned in earlier videos but I'll go over again soon). If you don't allow your body to extend on the way back one of two things happen. For most people they won't turn fully and will create very little power through rotation in the swing. A lot of people who slice the ball can suffer from this as the lack of turn can result in a swing path travelling left. The second fault that can stem from lack of extension on the way back is moving the head too far off the ball (away from the target). This causes multiple problems, not least very poor ball striking.
Have a look at the video to find out a good way to think about your forward bend during the backswing.
Can you extend too much? Well if you're a stack and tilt guy then the answer is probably not. But for most golf biomechanics and golf fitness professionals staying away from negative bend or reverse spine angle is the key. This can result in swing and body issues later on.
If you'd like to learn more about the golf body and golf swing why not come in for a lesson with myself?
Pelvic Bend in the swing
Let's talk pelvis. One of the great advantages of using the K-Vest is that allows me to examine the swing in 3D rather than just the 2D images of video. It tracks three planes of movements rotation, forward flexion and extension and side flexion.
What we do during a lesson is to get the golf to make some swings and then from this I get a ton of information on what's happening with the body during the swing. I use this data alongside the club and ball data I receive from my launch monitor and the two video angles. This allows me to get right into what's actually happening during the swing.
One of the first areas I like to look at is the pelvis in the golf and the first metric to view is pelvic bend. Pelvis bend is how much the pelvis tilts forwards and backwards during the swing. The reason we start with the pelvis as it's really the hub of the body and therefore the hub of our golf swing. If we're building the swing it makes sense to work from the ground up.
The first thing to look for in the swing is the pelvic bend at address. What I like to see is around 20' of forward bend at address. If we see less than this it is usually showing what we call C-posture which is where the pelvis is too tucked and results in a rounded back position in the swing. As a lot of my clients are experienced players this is actually a position I rarely see. More common and definitely more dangerous is when I see a larger amount of pelvic bend. When the pelvis is tilted too far forward (and the golfer has the correct length of club!) usually indicates S-posture. This is a position a lot of players start in, often as a result of either poor understanding or poor coaching. The thought of stick your bum out, or straight back can result in people over exaggerating their posture position. This creates a situation where the spine gets in too much lumber (lower back) extension. It disengages our abdominal muscles and puts more pressure on the lumber spine. This leads to a number of problems Firstly it can cause big problems with your spinal health. Secondly it prepares you to create a swing in which you'll most likely over extend your back going back. Plus it can lead to flat shoulder plane and many other possible complications.
To correct this we need to work on find the correct pelvic angle. Depending on your body awareness and control you can find this either in a kneeling position or in your golf posture. If you struggle to find this in golf posture start in a kneeling position. What we need to is to tilt the pelvis forwards and backwards. Start by tilting the pelvis forwards as far as it will go. Then tuck it under as far as possible. Repeat the forward flexion and then tuck under until your pelvis is in the middle of both positions. Finding the process in this order allows you to recruit your core muscles so that they are engaged at the start of your swing.
Most people underestimate the effect that the posture can have on the swing. It is essential to start from the correct dynamic posture, if you're posture is incorrect then you are starting at a disadvantage.

Audi A1 review
In this review
What Car? says...
If you want a small car with a properly posh badge, your options are actually quite limited. In fact, you could argue the Audi A1 is in a class of one.
In reality, the Mini 5dr (built by German rival BMW) is seen by many as similarly premium and is roughly the same size. But otherwise you have to go bigger and more expensive (think Mercedes A-Class) or accept a less glamorous badge (think VW Polo).
But while Audi's cheapest model has obvious desirability, is it actually any good? And is it really upmarket enough to justify its price premium over big-selling mainstream rivals, including the Polo but also Seat Ibiza and Ford Fiesta? Read on to find out.
And, afterwards, head to our New Car Buying page to check out the great deals we have on all new small cars.
Performance & drive
What it's like to drive, and how quiet it is
Engine, 0-60mph and gearbox
Audi's badging policy bears no relationship to engine size and, to prove the point, the range kicks off with a 25 TFSI that's actually a 94bhp 1.0-litre. We're yet to try it, but we have tried the 30 TFSI version with 114bhp and it's a frisky little thing. It piles on a generous amount of shove from around 2000rpm and has a real keenness to keep pulling all the way to its 6000rpm-plus limiter. With a 0-60mph in 9.1sec, it's our pick.
If you need more poke, though; enough to match the Mini Cooper 1.5 or Ibiza 1.5 TSI, you might want to look at the 35 TFSI instead. This 148bhp 1.5-litre gets into its stride even earlier, at around 1500rpm, so not only is it faster outright but it's also more flexible. A 197bhp 2.0-litre (40 TFSI) is also available; we'll let you know what that's like once we've had a go.
Suspension and ride comfort
A smooth, controlled ride is something of a novelty in the small car class. Fortunately, the A1 and closely related VW Polo are among a rarefied group that offer just that — if you pick the right trim. Around town, the SE and Sport trims, which come fitted with 16in wheels and standard Dynamic suspension, deal with pockmarked urban roads very well; even the nastiest bumps don't ruffle its feathers. It's a wholly calmer experience than you endure in the Mini 5dr, which rarely stops jostling.
It's the same story on the motorway. Where the Mini struggles to settle, the A1 only fidgets on particularly corrugated sections and, in the main, proves itself one of the calmest-riding cars in its class. The package is completed by good damping control over speed bumps and long-wave dips and crests, so you're never bounced out of your seat.
S line trim is a different ball game. This comes with bigger, 17in alloy wheels and lower, stiffer Sports suspension, which inevitably firms things up. The ride is more brittle over potholes in town, but calms down at motorway speeds.
The A1 is a tidy car to drive, in a similar vein to the Polo. Its steering is nicely judged: light around town, but with enough weight thrown in at higher speeds. Those virtues are backed up by enough accuracy to allow you to place the car's nose exactly where you want on a meandering B-road.
If the bends tighten and you maintain a spirited pace, you'll find a slight tendency for the car to lean in corners, but it's comparatively minor and there's plenty of grip on offer. In fact, the A1 hangs on determinedly until you reach its limit of adhesion, whereupon it lets go progressively and gently runs wide. Simply back off the accelerator and it'll tighten its line accordingly.
S line trim, with stiffer Sport suspension, reduces the lean, but does that make it the best-handling car in the class? No. For something truly entertaining we'd recommend you get yourself behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta or Seat Ibiza. However, compared to the Mini, which is often perceived to be a sporty little number, any A1 is noticeably better balanced and more composed.
Noise and vibration
The A1 does a good job of delivering peace and harmony on the move. Let's start with its three-cylinder petrol engines (badged 25 and 30 TFSI). They aren't quite as muted as the Mini Cooper's 1.5-litre or the Ford Fiesta's 1.0 Ecoboost, but are hardly boisterous and what noise they do make is pretty tuneful. You can feel a little vibration through the controls, but not an excessive amount. The four-cylinder engines (35 and 40 TFSI) are smoother overall.
At 70mph in top gear you'll be hard pressed to hear the engines at all. And, while you can hear some road and wind noise, there's not enough of either to irk on a long drive — as long as you avoid the biggest 18in wheels. These not only increase road roar, but give rise to more suspension noise, too. Broadly speaking, the A1 is pretty similar to the Polo and proves a quieter cruiser than other rivals, such as the Mini.
Manual A1s have a clutch that's sharp enough to stall the engine if you try pull away at very low revs until you get used to it, and its gearshift action is long and notchy compared with the deft slickness of the Fiesta's manual gearbox. We haven't yet tried an A1 with the (S tronic) automatic 'box, but our experience of these in other models has found them to be a tad jerky at slow speeds. Lastly, the brakes are progressive enough to make the A1 relatively easy to stop smoothly.

I popped out in to our garden this afternoon to see Daisy and Rose enjoying the sunshine, well what was left of it, its gone a bit overcast today.
The way the Daisies have clumped in this photograph reminds me of the expensive floral decorations you see in churches for weddings (ok, maybe not of daisies though).
The perfectly formed petals of this giant Daisy, (sorry don't know official name) are a wonder to behold. Isn't nature great!
Daisy's friend Rose was also coming out to play as well so I thought I'd better take a photo of her too, mustn't have them getting jealous.
The roses subtle colours against the green of the foliage was beautiful to behold.

Caffe Primo recently expanded in the west of Adelaide opening it's 18th cafe in South Australia with its new venue at West Lakes.
In 1998 the first Caffe Primo store opened its doors to customers in Westfield Tea Tree Plaza as a sole trading family operated business. This stylish and trendy café seating 350 people struggled to meet daily sale targets. With their 25 years of business background, Dino and Lisa Vettese came up with the idea of a meal deal that would set a new trend for generations to come.
It began with the $4.90 pasta/pizza at lunchtimes, which was advertised with regular television commercials sent Caffe Primo into overdrive.
Reluctant entrepreneur, Dino Vettese was being approached about expanding the Caffe Primo brand into a Franchise.
Although hesitant at first the second Caffe Primo store opened its doors in Semaphore. A month later the next store, Caffe Primo Rundle Street and so, the venture commenced.
Today, Caffe Primo occupies 18 stores in South Australia and employs over 550 staff.
For their POS system requirements, they turned to Possum IT and OrderMate. Possum IT has partnered with Caffe Primo for its POS solutions since 2003. Mark Vettesse, Dino's son who manages the day to day operation of the franchise business, says "OrderMate is so easy to use that our staff are able to learn it in less than an hour. The support we receive from Possum IT is great"

I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight Charlie in the ESP department. My wife and I have had Air Assurance for over 6 years. We moved from Broken Arrow to Jenks in March 2017. The past few days our air conditioner was not working and we called to schedule a technician. Charlie went above and beyond offering to get someone out the same day! Due to our work schedules, Saturday was the first available time for us to meet with a technician. Charlie was prompt and professional in setting up a tech for this Saturday. Keep up the good work Charlie!a

I have always wanted to do a family photoshoot in lavender fields, and I have known of the Mayfield lavender farm in Surrey for some time, but never managed to make it down there in time for the flowers - until this summer! The lavender only blooms during July and early August, so it is a fairly short window of opportunity. When I suggested the lavender fields to this client for her family portraits, she was as excited as I was, and more than happy to make the journey down from London. In fact it is only about an hour away from West London - and more than worth it! I am already planning my next trip down there - the colours and light at sunset are so dreamy. The only things to watch out for are all the bees, although they tend to be focused on the flowers and didn't bother us at all - perhaps they are more chilled out by the end of the day?!
Baby photos in lavender fields
Little baby Essa is 8 and a half months old in these portraits; it's an amazing age to photograph, with their chunky baby rolls, and their personalities really developing. He managed to have a nap in the car on the journey down from London so that really helped his mood! I love an outdoor baby shoot, but it's best if they are aged 6 months onwards so that they are just about sitting by themselves. That allows us to get some gorgeous close up images of baby on their own. The rows of lavender were such a great setting to photograph Essa - with the lavender framing him perfectly and the purple flowers disappearing off into a soft blur behind him. Often babies can be dwarfed by their surroundings, so it's lovely to have a beautiful, perfectly-sized background where he could sit comfortably on the ground.
Outdoor family photography
Essa's mum commissioned me for their family portraits because she loved how 'flattering and soft' my photos are. My brief for this shoot was to find a field-like location full of flowers and to create portraits that were dreamy, soft and glowy, with a warm golden wash of sunlight. It's always wonderful to work with clients that have a strong sense of what they are hoping to achieve, especially when it is so aligned with my style of family photography! That said, creating the best family photos is really a collaboration, in terms of being prepared to work with the best time of day, travel to the best location and choosing the right clothing/styling for the shoot. The outfits they chose to wear here were perfect; summery and soft, with some texture in the lace dress, and a soft pop of colour in Essa's cute romper. I think any more colour would have fought with the muted purple colour of the lavender itself. Unexpectedly we had a brief period of rain right at the start of our session (having not had any rain for weeks on end!), but actually the light this slight cloud cover generated was incredibly soft and luminous. There is very little shade on the lavender fields, so in fact the direct sun may have been a little harsh at the start of our shoot, were it not for the rain clouds!
Here's a few of my favourite portraits from our session.
"The photos are so so beautiful, we are so happy with how they turned out !"

An Islamist political party does well at the polls, and an authoritarian regime goes after it with a vengeance, killing its activists and arresting its leaders. The party is driven underground while secularists and other political groups applaud the government's harsh measures, all taken in the name of eliminating a terrorist threat. Meanwhile, the regime and the non-Islamist parties assure the world that once the Islamists have been dealt with, the regular political process will resume again.
So it has happened in Egypt, but it is also the story of Tunisia in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when hopes for a democratic transition were smashed after a campaign of repression that first targeted Islamists but eventually grew into a much wider effort to eliminate all political opposition. Tunisia's experience offers a glimpse of what may be yet to come in Egypt -- and suggests that Egyptian secularists should think twice before supporting the army's efforts to eradicate the Muslim Brotherhood.
After replacing President Habib Bourguiba in a bloodless coup in November 1987, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, a military officer, embarked on a program of liberalization and democratization that was at that point unprecedented in the region. His government released all political prisoners and gave them amnesty, revised the laws governing the press and political parties, and got every political bloc -- including the Islamist Ennahda Party -- to sign a national pact guaranteeing civil liberties and free elections.
Those elections were held on April 2, 1989, and were at the time the most competitive in the country's history, if not in the entire Arab world. Although the winner-take-all system guaranteed that Ben Ali's party would carry the day, given its organizational advantages developed over decades of unopposed rule, the president and most observers assumed that the secular opposition parties would emerge as the dominant opposition. Instead, the Islamists received the highest share of the opposition vote, 14.5 percent, a figure that was likely deflated due to fraud.

Based on a new survey released Tuesday (Sept. 28) by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, it's your atheist or agnostic neighbor, followed by the Jew or Mormon down the street.Overall, agnostics and atheists, Jews and Mormons scored the best on a quiz of 32 questions â€" from citing the first book of the Bible (Genesis) to naming a preacher from the First Great Awakening (Jonathan Edwards).
David Silverman, president of the group American Atheists, said he wasn't surprised that atheists answered more questions correctly than others, and hopes the findings will help people realize that atheists understand the religious beliefs that they reject.
"It certainly underscores the fact that atheists are not atheists due to ignorance," he said.
In fact, Smith said, eight in 10 of the atheists and agnostics polled in the survey were raised in a faith, including three-quarters who were reared as Christians.
Mormons' high levels of religious knowledge can be credited to four years of early-morning classes in the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and Mormon church history during high school, said Terryl Givens, a professor of literature and religion at the University of Richmond.

The popcorn sizzled and then burned in the bottom of your stainless-steel pot. Not only was the popcorn a bust, but your pot now has burnt popcorn stubbornly stuck to its bottom. Before you give up, put some effort into restoring your stainless steel pot. Because stainless steel is durable, with soaking and scrubbing you should be able to remove the scorched areas and make your stainless-steel pot clean again.
Step 1
Use the wooden spoon to chip off any scorched-on pieces of popcorn stuck to the bottom of the pot. Pour out the pieces of popcorn after you loosen them.
Step 2
Pour 1 part white vinegar and 1 part cool water into the stainless steel pot to fill the pot with approximately 2 inches of liquid. Place the pot onto the stove top and turn the burner on to high. Heat the liquid until it boils and then allow it to boil for three minutes. Remove the pot from the burner and pour out the liquid.
Step 3
Scrub at the popcorn stains with the nylon scrubber to remove as much scorched residue as possible.
Step 4
Moisten the bottom of the pot with water. Cover the bottom of the pot with a ¼-inch layer of baking soda and allow the moistened baking soda to sit on the bottom of the pot for at least 2 hours.
Step 5
Scrub the baking soda into the bottom of the pot with the nylon scrubber after the time elapses. Continue scrubbing until you remove all of the scorch marks. Rinse the baking soda away with plain water.
Step 6
Wash the stainless steel pot in water and dishwashing detergent, using the dishcloth to remove any residual staining. Rinse the pot with plain water and dry it with the dishtowel to finish.

It's summertime and as New Yorkers we know this means heat waves followed by rain storms followed by the perfect sunny day on the beach. Summer in the city means filling nights with Shakespeare in the Park, ball games at Yankee Stadium, and street fairs.
Maybe when summer rolls around and everyone comes out of hiding, flooding Central Park, you feel excited and ready to party....or maybe you think about how those summer days and nights will be filled with painful joints from walking, hurt backs from lounging on the beach, and packing pain killers with the sunscreen--just in case.
Physical Therapy is the answer to managing and preventing pain, because after all, it's summertime and living should be easy.
If you're still not sure about physical therapy and its ability to revolutionize your summer experience, then here are some fun pt facts that might just get you into our Upper West Side or Irvington clinic.
Physical therapy not only provides relief for pain, it can help you get into better shape too.
You don't have to wait to go to a physical therapist until you're injured, you can also go to a physical therapist to reach new fitness goals. The best personal trainer might just be a physical therapist. Not only do they know the body, they are also experts in functional movement and can train you in the safest and most effective way possible. Getting in the best condition of your life doesn't mean you need to have an injury to heal from, in some ways preventive physical therapy is even more important and crucial for your quality of life than post-surgical pt.
A good physical therapist will not just get you back to your pre-injury status, they'll train you to be better than you ever were before.
As mentioned earlier, a quality physical therapist will help you heal from injury and will also re-train your body to avoid re-injury through habitual movement patterns. Your movement led you to injury, so real recovery will require retraining your movement habits to avoid future injury. You'll leave pt even better than you were before your injury.
PT might just help you live longer.
So I can't back this up, but I still stand by it. Studies show stress is one of the biggest offenders in early death and I'm going to argue that physical therapy can lower stress levels, thereby saving your life. While this line of debate might be a little tongue in cheek, an afternoon at Sloane Stecker Physical Therapy is a recipe for stress reduction. Our office and staff work to make your time in physical therapy relaxing and rejuvenating. Go to physical therapy--reduce stress and live longer. It's called a win-win situation.

The release of Windows 10 brings about some nifty features that many wished at the rollout time would be available to smartphone devices as an alternative to iOS' SIRI. Now, that wish has come true as Microsoft officially launches Cortana on Android and iOS devices.
As you may know, Cortana is touted as a help assistant that FINDS things on your device as well as manage your calendar, chat with you, tell jokes, track packages and much more. While some may compare Cortana directly to SIRI, which is exclusive to iOS devices, Cortana is more of a multitasker or companion that may replace your keyboard in some aspects.
Cortana comes about as a personal digital assistant. Cortana can do clever things such as redirect missed call alerts, send a text back to let someone know you will call them back and other tasks.
While Cortana touts many features, some of them are exclusive to certain operating systems, such as on Windows Phone Cortana can perform just about all of its features – as you would guess.
The videos below show a demonstration on Android using Cortana, including a comparison to SIRI and Google Now.
