Home owners should not have concerns only limited to the interiors of the home. Having the best homes in most cases involve hiring of lawn mowing service to make sure that the home is not only well maintained in the interiors but also the outside.
Doing so has many benefits, such as covering the ground below so more water is preserved and weed germination are not revealed to sunshine. It is also essential because it helps the knife utilize its place, enabling higher photosynthesis.
Ongoing garden servicing conducted by professionals who comprehend the technology behind a proper and balanced garden is essential to be able to activate and sustain pitch development as well as renew the ground and garden with much needed nutritional value.
Help your garden hold up against risks from factors like garden disease throughout the season. Helps your garden weather through unforeseen varying weather conditions and encourages garden development and repair, with factors like feeding and garden aeration. Keeps your garden nutrient rich allowing it to take in and process nutritional value and wetness to a much further level, through feeding and ground aeration. Helps battle against a variety of garden damaging insects and fresh mushrooms, with proper pest and marijuana management.
Organic garden mowing should naturally come with an understanding of objectives. It is crucial that your garden care service provider be clear about the outcomes that you will see and how they plan to achieve those outcomes. For example, organic plant foods are designed to improve the base of the ground, which means that it increases the entire atmosphere, as compared to substance and superficially providing just the plant. Therefore, you will continue to see long lasting benefits by promoting main development instead of foliage development.
Some companies offer irrigation services that may or may not be carried out daily. In most cases they give a schedule of when the irrigation should be done. Some of them install irrigation equipment like sprinklers or the required equipment for drip irrigation. For home owner who can carry out other maintenance practices themselves then hiring a company that installs the irrigation equipment would be their best choice.
Aerating your pitch gives it the opportunity to take in by reducing ground compaction, and gives origins better access to air, water and nutritional value. This process not only can improve your gardens ability to battle insects and illnesses, it is also designed to become thick and improve the lawns overall appearance.
Home owners should thus do a thorough research on the different service providers. This makes sure that they get the service provider most suitable for them. Also this avoids cases where they select one who does not do the entire job.
You can get the latest tips on how to find a lawn mowing service from our up-to-date site. For further information, see the following page at http://simplygreenlandscaping.net now.

I have reached the point in my project where I pull every item out of every crevice and cranny, lay them out in front of me, and try to decide where every piece should go. Today, I mostly just stared at all of it and got a lot of nothing done...
I have to decide what to make of all of this:
And this...
And this...
Oh! I figured this one out! Mostly...
But I am still puzzling over this...
And this...
But while I was "thinking", I came across this:
It was in one of the drawers of my grandmother's antique sewing table. It is a Russian Doll sort of flat head screwdriver, gradually getting small enough to almost work for a doll's shop. It looks to be brass, and it looks like it is made from old bullet casings. My grandpa was quite an inventive guy, and made some very clever tools. Did he make this, or was it issued to him when he was in the Army? Hmmm... A mystery, but a warm heart smile today, for sure!
In between making more messes, and spacing out a lot, I managed to scrounge up an old but useful item to help me in my endeavor to do a better chrome job on 3D plumbing fixtures a-la-deux.
A perfect dust cover so that maybe I will have less particle and more chrome finish this time. I WILL NOT be putting ANY sealer on this batch!!!
With any luck at all, I'll wake up tomorrow full of creative certainty, and some dry and shiny faucets to install.

Grrrrrr! And after you have taken so much time to carefully prepare the surface! I know perfection is a rare thing, but dust could at least have the courtesy to attach itself on the unseen side!!!Delete

Dusting off boxes of boxed
Over the weekend did you go grocery shopping to restock and get ready for the week? If you did, you might have seen me in the masses. That experience (grocery shopping on the weekend) is painful. It seems as though it isn't going to get any better in the immediate future with stores implementing self-checkout. But, what if you could relieve some of the pain by getting your bulk shopping done online.
That's where Boxed is trying to help you out. Their new tagline "Bulk is Beautiful" sets their eyes squarely on Costco, but with a fun social focus. Boxed has found great growth creating their social experience growing their team from one to 22. Take a look at their write-up on Digiday to see how they are trying to shift the experience of bulk shopping online.

- Personal Appearance Required for Residency Permit Applications
- August 18, 2017
Effective immediately, foreign nationals must now appear in person at the Immigration Authority in Egypt to submit initial and renewal Residency Permit applications and to endorse their visa, unless the applicant allows a third party to appear on his or her behalf through a power of attorney.
Foreign nationals applying for initial or renewed Residence Permits for their dependents must now also appear at the Immigration Authority to apply for the dependent's permit and to endorse the dependent's visa.
What This Means for Employers and Foreign NationalsPreviously, employers could obtain a power of attorney for a third party to appear on behalf of the employee. Now, the applicant faces an extra administrative hurdle since he or she must either appear in person or execute the power of attorney him or herself for it to be valid.

Very flattering piece.
Got the black one even though I wanted white, but since only black is available I didn't have much choice la. But the black piece is really nice as well, and has a slimming effect since its black.
Wish it was slightly longer though.
But nevertheless, it's a really fuss-free piece that you can throw on for those days when you can't decide what to wear. I've emailed LRH to ask whether they have extra slots for BO for the white floral one and the blue polka one. haha. I don't normally get the same designs in different colours but this is too pretty to resist. :)

Why I started Bare Kare
Posted on June 28, 2014 by Kate Zink | 0 comments
When I learned that most of the ingredients in commercial soaps are anything but what you and I think of as "soap" I decided I wanted more for my skin than the drying detergents found in even beauty bars. That's when I found that handmade cold process soap is made from wonderful ingredients such as olive and avocado oil and won't strip your skin leaving it thirsty for moisture.
Detergents are for cleaning your household items – not your skin! And even oily or combination skin needs moisture to balance and condition it.

|145 dead
The 1904 Douliu earthquake (Chinese: 1904年斗六地震; pinyin: 1904 nián Dǒuliù dìzhèn) struck central Taiwan with a magnitude of 6.1 at 04:25 on November 6. The quake caused widespread damage and killed 145 people, making it the fifth deadliest earthquake of the 20th century in Taiwan.
Technical details[edit]
At 04:25 of the morning of 6 November 1904, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake centred on the town of Xingang, Chiayi County shook towns in present-day Yunlin County, Chiayi County, and Tainan City. Despite the relatively light magnitude, the shallow depth of the temblor (7 km) coupled with the fact that it struck in a populated area meant that casualties were heavier than might be expected.[1]
The earthquake was one of the first major quakes in Taiwan to be monitored using seismographs that were introduced by the Japanese. This enabled government officials to pinpoint the magnitude, epicentre and hypocentre of the earthquake with more accuracy than ever before.
The quake was felt throughout the island, and Japanese officials recorded sandblasting and soil liquefaction at several sites in the affected area.[1]
According to Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau, there were 145 deaths, with 50 people seriously injured and 107 people less seriously injured. As a result of the quake 590 dwellings were completely destroyed, while a further 1,085 dwellings were partially destroyed. The cost of damage was assessed at the time as ¥105,155 (1904 Japanese yen). The worst affected area was Shinkō subprefecture (新港支廳) (Xingang, Chiayi), where 85 of the deaths occurred.[1]

Agile Is About More than Projects
Some organizations have embraced agile for everything they do, though these environments are still the minority. For most organizations, agile is viewed as an approach limited to a small subset of the work they carry out. While agile may have expanded beyond software development, it's not yet mainstream and it's largely restricted to certain types of projects. There also remain a number of organizations that don't use agile at all. They don't see a need for it, they don't feel ready, or some other combination of factors have led them to stick to more traditional work approaches.
Regardless of how important agile is or isn't to these organizations, there is an overwhelming sense that agile is an approach to work that is exclusive to projects. It isn't.
Yes, agile was born in software development where each piece of work stands alone as a project, and I frequently write about agile, waterfall and hybrid project delivery approaches. But these days agile is so much more than that. The success of agile techniques in project delivery has led to the same concepts being applied in other areas of business: planning, portfolio management, etc. The integration of agile development with DevOps concepts is leading to an evolution from projects to continuous delivery. In today's competitive and fast-moving world, agile is a catalyst for

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
Install selecting "no mouse"
First boot runs.
What's the bug? Firstboot should already be keyboard friendly.
If you are an alt-key contortionist and deeply familiar with the key shortcuts
yes. If you are a normal user I suspect not.
"Normal users" have a mouse on their system. ;)
Seriously though, I could make firstboot not run if no mouse is configured, but
I don't know what that would accomplish. gdm would still launch, and the
desktop would still start once the user logs in. Trying to navigate the desktop
without a mouse is more difficult than navigating firstboot without a mouse.
Plus, it's not at all obvious to the user that selecting "No mouse" also means
"No setup wizard"
Computers without mice are a non-standard configuration. That's why "Custom"
mode exists in anaconda so you can choose to use a text login ("Server" mode
provides this option too) so that firstboot, gdm, etc. can be avoided. Also,
firstboot will be skipped by default on kickstart installs unless otherwise
Good point. Ok
I have seen this same issue on an IBM Thinkpad T23. Does anyone
want extra information.

Hi kevin,
I love Autumn shots for their warm deep colour . This one seems to have a cooler, blue tone to it.
Beautiful colours. A well observed scene, Kevin.
Wonderful image, Kevin. I too like the colors and composition. I suspect that you used a polarizing filter because I don't see any glare or bright reflections. Good job.
Thanks for viewing all. Sharon, interesting observation- I didnt change the WB, but this little creek is tucked between two very steep hillsides that are heavily wooded, and sunlight is all heavily filtered except for small rays that sneak through.
Ken, quite right. I used a cpl filter, then just touched up with an adjustment brush to take down the highlights on the right. Glad you liked it.
Simple but very nice Kevin. Excellent colour and detail.

Information on student welfare services at italian universities and highter education institutions
Universities, other higher education institutions, the regional EDISU offices ( ), and the Autonomous Provinces supply a series of services and facilities for higher education students to remove economic and social obstacles which limit access to higher education.
(EDISU= Ente per il Diritto allo Studio Universitario. There is such an agency in each Italian region; it has the task to set up and run the necessary student welfare services in conformity to the current legal provisions).
The services offered are divided into two categories:
1. Services for all students: canteens, access to libraries, reduction of ticket prices for public transportation, access to the University Sports Centres (C.U.S.);
2. Services ad personam: grants, accommodation, facilities for the disabled, part-time activities. These benefits are attributed sometimes by competition, sometimes on student's request.
The Guida dello Studente, published at the beginning of each academic, generally in October, year at the care of most higher education institutions, includes complete and detailed information about each degree course and teaching activity, but also describes the types of services in offer at each study site.
Some facilities and financial support are offered to those who otherwise would be without the necessary means. Candidates must give proof of possessing adequate merit.
The benefits consist in:
* grants, both ordinary and special;
* grants for research work towards dissertations and final degree projects;
* grants to encourage post-graduate studies.
Part-time jobs
Universities generally offers their students a maximum of 150 hours/each in part time rewarded activities. Students who are regularly enrolled and have passed the examinations required each year can apply for these part time jobs. Students who have not received the E.DI.SU. grants have priority.
Counselling and Tutoring Service
Universities promotes a series of initiatives to help students, by providing them with information: on degree courses, other teaching/learning opportunities, and job placement, etc. This service is related to the three phases of the student's career:
* Counselling on entry;
* Counselling during the study course;
* Counselling on outgoing to help transition to the labour market.
Job, stage and placement
Job, stage and placement offices of higher education institutions facilitate contacts among companies/job opportunities on the one side and students on the other, both during their study course and on leaving.
International Relations Office
The International Relations Office of the various institutions:
* promotes and manages the institutional participation in European exchange and co-operation programmes, such as Socrates and Erasmus;
* draws up bilateral conventions for partnerships with foreign higher education institutions;
* gives information on programmes, grants and co-operation schemes at an international level.
The Socrates-Erasmus Programme
The project ERASMUS, within the framework of the SOCRATES Programme, promotes and governs the exchange of students who wish to spend a period of time at higher education institutions of an EU member state other than their own. Those institutions are eligible which have signed a written cooperation agreement with the students' home institutions. During the period spent the host country, the student is required to carry out the educational/research activity approved by the home institution before departure. The length of the period to be spent abroad depends on the agreement signed by the instituions concerned. Nevertheless, it may not be less than 3 months or longer than 12 months.
Assistance and support for students with disabilities
Most higher education institutions promote initiatives to favour integration of disabled studentsas: e.g. service of accompanying persons to help them reach and move within the respective institutions, other forms of general support. Students with disabilities can contact the Counselling and Tutoring Service of their individual institutions for information on opportunities already in place, and to learn how to make the most of the benefits available at each study site.
Cultural activities
Universities and other higher education institutions may allocate funds to encourage cultural activities organized by their own students. Their chief purposes are:
* promote the development of studies and research, in such fieldes as visual arts, music, theatre, cinema, etc.;
* promote and organize meetings, conferences, group activities;
* encourage international exchanges.
This type of service is available to all students. For those who benefit of regional grants the service is free, the others pay a low cost depending on income and merit.
To enable students coming from outside the chosen study site to attend their study courses regularly, the local EDISU supplies places in hostels or flats. Should the number of students with a right to housing be greater than the number of places available, then places are allocated according to a priority list or according to the chronological order of the applications submitted.
Medical care
Medical and pharmaceutical assistance for foreigners in Italy is regulated by international agreements and treaties. To benefit of such assistance, foreign students, are required a specific documentation.
Normally EU students must have a certificate (E111 or E128 model) issued by their National Health Authority that will cover first-aid and medical assistance in Italy. When they arrive in Italy this certificate must be validated by the local health agencies (ASL).
Non-EU students must have a health insurance policy; this may be made either at their arrival in Italy with a private Italian insurance company, or before their departure with an insurance company of their respective countries; in this second case, students had better contact the Italian Embassy or Consulate in their home countries for further information on existing agreements on medical assistance.
Language centre
The Language Centre of each institution develops and co-ordinates language facilities. It provides language courses for the students enrolled at the institution concerned, for those on international exchange programmes, and for the institutional. The Language Centre provides a fundamental support service by facilitating learning processes and encouraging students to keep on improving their language competences.
The Sports Centre (C.U.S.) promotes physical activities with regard to the institution commitment in the field and, to the physical and educational well-being of its students. It offers the necessary facilities and promotes sport courses for beginners and professionals. The centre promote institutional participation in competitive and federation activities.
Office for public relations (U.R.P)
The Office for Public Relations (U.R.P.) provides information on institutional planning, counselling and job-placement; it also manages some of the services offered by the institution concerned.

I won't be writing much today. I am feeling sad about a loss. A friend who was like a little brother to me in high school. And for nearly 25 years we lost touch. Then in 2011 we reconnected "through this crazy thing called the internet", he would say. And again he felt like a little brother, though all grown up. Two visits, several phone calls and way too many canceled or re-scheduled get togethers. Life, health and circumstances beyond our control. I learned today that he has passed away. And the strange process of notifying, grieving and mourning "through this crazy thing called the internet" begins. It is strange and confusing and I am left with more questions than answers at this point.
I want to share this lovely post that I read this week on the Daily Good. Like myself, my dear friend had some invisible health issues. He had also overcome much adversity. Not always something that is visible from the outside
There is so much that we do not know about what we see. I wrote last week about how we fill in the blanks. Click on the link for a good reminder to be careful of how you fill in someone else's story.
You are gone too soon my friend...

Da Bomb to Blizzard for the excellent class changes just implemented in the pre-patch. They made Retribution Paladins feel fun again, made Blood Death Knights feel more durable and less frantic, and gave fire mages MOAR PYROBLASTS. Still have a few more classes to play around with, but I'm definitely getting Legion ASAP.
Probably the best thing happen to me since picking up Pokémon GO is seeing my activity level almost double in the past two weeks. I've lost about 7 pounds since I started playing, and I have a whole lot more Pokémon to catch.
Wildstar nearly fried my card even tho i can run Tera just fine, wew rip xD
I think mythic and challenge mode dungeons in WoW show that there is an audience for that kind of small group challenging content. I don't raid, but I will hope into those types of things. I think I could raid it's not a skill thing for me, but I'm not a fan of voicechat or add-ons and my schedule fluctuates so it's just easier for me to stick to these size groups
Speaking of that… da-bomb to the class changes that were just implemented in WoW. The patch has only been out a few days so I haven't checked it all out but subtlety rogue in particular feels really awesome, and I'm loving the new combat animations.
As for Pokémon Go, I don't play but my co-worker does. The first day it was out I was passing by him and serious as a heart attack he looks at me and says. "Oh my god! That is so unfair!" I took the bait and asked what was wrong. "There's a horsea in the parking lot, and I'm out of pokeballs!" I kind of just stared for a moment, nodded and smiled and walked away.

United States District Court, N.D. Alabama, Northeastern Division
August 22, 2017
CAMERON RASHUN BYRD, Petitioner,v.UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Respondent.
On July
31, 2017, the court held an evidentiary hearing to expand the
record on Petitioner Cameron Byrd's claim that his trial
counsel, Frederic Washington, provided him ineffective
assistance during plea negotiations with the government.
Because the record reflects that Mr. Byrd received
ineffective counsel that prejudiced him, the court will grant
Mr. Byrd's petition.
court has previously laid out the procedural history of Mr.
Byrd's crimes and prosecution. See (Doc. 27 at
1-9). Two disputed questions remained. First, what advice did
Mr. Washington give Mr. Byrd about the government's
proposed plea agreement? Second, if that advice was
insufficient, would Mr. Byrd have accepted the
government's plea agreement but-for Mr. Washington's
ineffective assistance?[1]
setting out the particular factual findings, the court notes
that this case, like many collateral challenges involving
advice given during criminal cases, ultimately comes down to
a credibility contest between the attorney and the
petitioner. This case turns on whether a preponderance of the
evidence supports Mr. Washington's or Mr. Byrd's
narrative of events. Other witnesses may bolster or undermine
one of the accounts. But the critical question is what Mr.
Washington told Mr. Byrd about the proposed plea agreement
and whether Mr. Byrd would have accepted it if he had been
given adequate counsel. The best evidence to answer those
questions comes from Mr. Byrd's and Mr. Washington's
own testimony.
court has reservations about the credibility of Mr.
Washington's testimony, which was unaided by any file on
the case. Mr. Washington testified at the hearing that he
does not currently possess a file for Mr. Byrd's case,
though one existed at some point. Mr. Washington's
testimony at the hearing was based entirely on his memory of
events over five years ago. From merely the undisputed facts
in the record, serious questions arise about his
representation of Mr. Byrd during this matter. While these
facts do not by themselves support habeas relief, they bear
on Mr. Washington's credibility.
Washington undertook the representation of Mr. Byrd in
violation of his terms of employment with the Legal Aid
Society. Legal Aid's employment manual prohibits the
private practice of law. At the hearing, however, Mr.
Washington testified that separate private practice is
"not encouraged." Mr. Washington's
representation of Mr. Byrd was impermissible, and yet Mr.
Washington downplayed that fact at the hearing, seeming to
insist that, merely because no one (except the employment
manual) had explicitly told him he could not engage in the
private practice of law, he was permitted-or at least only
innocently mistaken-in doing so. Such testimony calls into
question Mr. Washington's professional judgment, if not
his credibility.[2]
further doubt on Mr. Washington's judgment is his
testimony that he told Mr. Byrd that he had a "50-50
shot at trial" because that was what he told all his
clients about their chances at trial. Such routine practice
ignored that in this case the government's strong case
against Mr. Byrd included video evidence and testimony of two
cooperating witnesses. By Mr. Washington's own testimony,
he failed to offer Mr. Byrd an individualized assessment of
his case.
Washington also failed to follow through on commitments made
to the court. At the pretrial conference held a week before
trial, Mr. Washington told the court that he was hoping to
meet Mr. Byrd that afternoon to communicate a plea offer made
by the government. The court asked Mr. Washington to let it
know as soon as possible if Mr. Byrd intended to accept the
offer.Mr. Washington said he would do so and that he
generally did not like for a plea to be accepted the day of
trial. See (Cr. Doc 87 at 16-17). However, at the
hearing, Mr. Washington testified that he did not meet with
Mr. Byrd at all during the week between the conference and
the trial.Mr. Washington only met with Mr. Byrd the morning
of the trial. Mr. Washington offered no explanation for the
delay in carrying out his commitment to promptly discuss the
government's offer with his client.
of these troubling facts, the court accords little weight to
Mr. Washington's testimony. Therefore, upon full
consideration of the evidence, the court makes the following
findings of material fact:
1. Before this matter, Mr. Byrd had no previous experience
with the criminal justice system in general or the Federal
Criminal Justice System in particular.
2. A CM-ECF search indicates Mr. Washington had never
represented an individual with multiples charges under 18
U.S.C. § 924(c) in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Alabama.
3. On the day of his arraignment, Mr. Byrd and Mr. Washington
met with the FBI Agent Jonathan Sumner and Assistant United
States Attorney Terrence O'Rourke in a Kastigar
meeting where Mr. Byrd indicated a willingness to cooperate.
4. Mr. Washington met with Mr. Byrd on two occasions between
arraignment and trial while he was detained in the Cullman
County Jail. These meetings occurred on November 25, 2011,
and December 24, 2011. Each of the meetings lasted
approximately 15-20 minutes.
5. Mr. Washington and Mr. Byrd discussed a plea agreement
offered by the government at the December meeting.
6. Mr. Washington told Mr. Byrd that he faced a sentence of
up to ten years if he proceeded to trial and was
7. Mr. Washington told Mr. Byrd that he had a "50-50
shot" of ...

There are a lot of questions that surround gray areas in real life and the Bible. This is especially true in the topic of sin. There are times when the Bible does not clearly or solidly state if something is indeed a sin or not. And during those times, often people are left confused without an answer.
This entry is inspired by the message of Ravi Zacharias in his podcast "What is worthwhile under the sun"
When we think the Bible has left us grasping for straws
There are times when there are no water tight explanation on why something is a sin or not – at least not directly. And during those times we find it hard to find solid answers elsewhere. People might tell us "It depends" or "What's your conviction?" and so on…
And there will come a time when you want some answers but you're left confused. So what is it? How will you know the black and white answer to a gray area where you're not really sure if it is indeed sin or not?
There is a rock-solid answer
I am so amazed by the simple but prudent answer that Ravi Zacharias quoted in his message from the mother of John Wesley. One day, she was asked by John Wesley "Can you give me a definition for sin?" This is what she said:
"Whatever weakens your reasoning, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes away your relish for spiritual things, in short if anything increases the authority and the power of the flesh over the spirit, that to you becomes sin, however good it is in itself."
Can't you just feel the power behind those words?
Sometimes we tend to compromise and take some things in a 'good' light. We reason and justify that there is 'good' in a certain gray area. But when we think of things as John Wesley's mother puts it – then it just blots out all other so-called 'reasons' doesn't it?
Think about it. Keep these words into heart so that next time you think you're in a gray area, you'll know what's sin and what's not.
