How to Get Rid of Garter Snakes
From the Pacific to the Atlantic coast, garter snakes are one of the most widely distributed type of snake across the North America. Because of it garter-like pattern on their sides, they are called garter snakes. Their appearance helps them to blend in their surroundings thus making them less visible when moving to hunt for food. Although some of them grow to almost 135cm, most of them grow until 60 to 80 cm in length only. Thamnophis sirtali, its scientific name varies in colors—some are green, gray and almost black.
Snakes are always associated with fear. However, there is nothing to be scared about when it comes to garter snakes. Their diet ranges from earthworms, small salamanders, frogs, small fish and sometimes small birds. Their first instinct when they see a threat to them (like humans) is to hide. The only time that they attempt to bite is when they are being picked up. Also, they will release a foul-smelling liquid (called musk) as their form of defence. However, despite their harmless nature, they are still being feared because in our minds, they are still snakes—dangerous. So, if you are still convinced to get rid of them, these are some tips:
Trim your lawn
Since it is the nature of snakes to hide, make sure that you don't make your lawn as their hiding ground. Make sure to keep you lawn as short as two inches (or even shorter). This way, they will not attempt to visit your lawn. Also, try to have a fence line to discourage them from going near your lawn.
Pest control
Since you are knowledgeable of their diet, all you have to do is to eradicate those in your lawn. Their diet usually consists of earthworms, insects, frogs and the like. If you are able to make your lawn a pest-free zone it just goes that it would be a garter snake-free lawn too. This would be more manageable as garter snakes are really hard to catch. If you can catch them, simply pick one up and transport it a few miles away from your home. If you want to find a pest control company in your local area, consider using website services such as ServiceMagic.com.
Remove the bushes
Again, bushes and shrubs are perfect hiding places for garter snakes. If they can spot a place where they can hide while they find their food, they will really be there. So, make sure that all bushes and shrubs are gone. However if you really prefer to have them, just make sure that they grow higher off the ground that they don't touch the grass.
If you don't like the idea of trimming your grass on a weekly basis or even removing the shrubs that are around your home, consider placing mothballs where you think the snake may be laying around. The smell of these moth balls will not only deter these snakes, it will more than likely keep them from coming back to your yard. Remember that these moth balls can be rather poisonous so it's best to keep them away from younger children. Another tip that tends to work is garlic. Many gardeners swear by this.
Tapan Shah Said,
The first thing that one can do is keep the area around their homes clear of clutter. Things like logs, wooden piles should not be available. These are the perfect hiding places for garter snakes. Trim grass around your home. Also it is believed that snakes are pissed off by sulfur powder. Sprinkle some sulfur powder areas that are frequently visited by garter snakes.

A tidal wave or bore is the leading edge of the incoming tide, in a narrow estuary. This may be one, on the Piscataqua river between New Hampshire and Maine, USA, which has very swift tidal currents.
Tidal wave?
No Thumbnail

Well, wikipedia says that tidal waves are formed by the incoming water of the rising tide. Usually tides take 6 hours to rise fully, on the open coast, but in an narrowing estuary the water can bunch up and actually form a sudden step. This is not a boat wake (too wiggly), and it goes all the way across the river, so it does suggest the whole river depth is changing. However, I'm not 100% convinced that this is indeed a tidal wave, because of the lighting. I get the feeling that there's a slight brightness gradient across the edge, brighter on the right side (South-East), which means that the water on the left (up-stream) side is higher. This contradicts what I read, that the incoming tide causes tidal bores. The Piscataqua river is known for very fast currents (due to tides), although I don't know if that argues for or against tidal waves. I will ask a local expert and let you know what I learn.
@ 2007-02-06 19:33:02
Well, my expert says he's never heard of a tidal bore on the Piscataqua, so it's probably not that.

Patina Style
25 comments:
This may be my favorite post of all! I love your "story" about the man who lives in the Gilt showhouse room! I hope,and wish that you publish your work! I am in love with your style and your imagination!
I love Patina Style too! Have read the blog for a long, long time and enjoy their work tremendously!
Have a wonderful weekend!Hello Pamela
Your beautiful story transported me away this evening. You write with conviction and I love the story about the man. For a moment I thought I knew him, as I met many students and profs who studied at Cambridge in the field of Arctic and Antartica studies.
Like you, I take walks in the evening and love to see drapes slightly ajar and see glowing lights and scenes of domesticity and create stories on who lives here.
Like the previous writer said your writing is superb.
I follow Brooke's blog and agree they are most talented. Will check out her book.
My best
HelenxxHello Pamela:
like you, we love that moment in late afternoon when darkness begins to fall and the lamps are lit whilst the curtains remain unclosed. We too have peered into so many London drawing rooms at that time of day, and know so well all of those streets and squares immediately behind Harrods extending down towards Chelsea and, ultimately, the Thames.
We do agree that too often style magazines feature impersonal interiors which have the appearance of being little more than showcases for a designer - certainly not homes. We shall certainly look out for 'Patina Style' when we are in the UK although we wonder if it is only available in the United States.
For ourselves we always take in World of Interiors, a magazine which, if you do not already know it, we feel that you would enjoy.I remember when you sent me your story about our Gilt room. I immediately had to show Steve... "Pamela really "gets" us!" Your story captured the mood of the room perfectly.
Whenever Steve and I start a design project we always begin with a story. Even when we began designing our own home. I wrote the story of the life we would live and how our house design could support my dream... I wanted people to walk by our home and say "A happy family lives here."
Thank you for you friendship and for sharing your stories with all of us.
It is an honor to have you share "Patina Style" with your readers!
BrookeLovely thoughts, stories and photos! Oh, I will enjoy Patina Style from my library. Living here in a doghouse, one misses having treasures available; but then, the treasures here have four feet; you know how special they are with Edward. I do enjoy slowly driving by homes, peeking into rooms and dreaming. I know I want a reddish wall across from the morning sun drenched windows in my front room. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to Victoria magazine as I write this, Marion. I hope you can find it.
What I like about this room is the height of the ceilings and that the eyes gradually go from furniture to the windows, taking in everything.
What an imagination you have,Pamela, as I thought the man was real.Good evening dear writer!
WEll, that first picture is absolutely stunning! What a cozy corner. And I was fortunate enough to correspond with the author of this book! I don't know how we connected, but I think it was through Belgian Pearls...anyhooooo, she is a kind lady and what a style! YO EDWARD!!!!
Saw yor comment at Wilf the Pon, I hope that Edward is doing well. Sorry about his tooth!
It is always difficult when our pets have issues, my dashchund has Cushings and tis past month has had some bladder stones so she has been feeling terrible and I think I might actually own a bench in the waiting room at the vet now as I have been there so many times this month.
Take care of Edward and yourself!I want that first room up at the top. Wonder if I could fake it somehow with stuff already in the house? Must... collect... more... shells...
Hadn't heard of patina style before but now I'm really tempted to buy the book, perhaps as a Christmas present for my mother or sister. I've got to share this link with them; those rooms are gorgeous!What a wonderful post about our friends Brooke and Steve!
You are so correct and you "nailed it"! They are so true to themselves!
We are so so lucky to know them...and have them as allies....and they are so supportive of those they like!
We are all blessed! I especially loved Steve going back to his family business......(they came from Italy, like my husband's family! (my husband's grandfather went to SanFrancisco "around the horn"!!) No Panama Canal. Steve's family stayed where they got off the boat.....and created beauty and detail ever since. And then he married Brooke....and had those creative kids!
wonderful! In my mind stories get no better!
thank you! wonderful post!I wish I was turning the corner with you along Chelsea and many more in the passing light of London streets. Sad to say we could not do it today...but perhaps in the Autumn light. :) This book sounds wonderful and I think this room is perfect...it is full of life!
Hope you are well Pamela...I am sneaking a few peeks with my morning coffee...thanks for your note. I agree!
I love to read your comments! Each and every one! Though I'm always reading your comments, I may not respond in the comment section. If you want to write me directly, you may do so at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you for reading!

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

(St Augustine, FL)
For weeks my left knee was hurting at work while standing and walking. I work in a retail store 37-39 hours a week. The pain kept getting worse until finally last week I went to the ER. My knee was swollen to twice its normal size. They diagnosed it as either a fray or tear to the meniscus and put me on bed rest, anti-inflammatory drugs, ice packs and an immobilizer brace for a week. I had to take a week off.
I went back to work today. The knee is still somewhat swollen but not yet like it was last week. My doctor said I might require surgery. I don't know if my knee will ever again comfortably allow me to work as I did before.
My manager is already talking about whether I will be able to carry out all of the responsibilities of my job since hurting my knee. I am concerned that if it swells up again I won't be able to stand and walk on it until it is fixed.
Am I eligible to file a worker's comp claim for this injury? What if I can't return to work like I did before, or do any kind of work where I'm standing or putting pressure on my knee? I have been working at this job for the past 18 months. My knee was fine until about a month ago and has gotten progressively worse. There's nothing else other than work that I can think may have caused this injury. Thanks for any information you can give.
Lois (St. Augustine, FL):
You certainly have the right to file a workers compensation claim. Do so as soon as you can. The company's workers compensation insurance company will likely give you a list of several physicians to choose from. The physician you choose will be your "primary treating physician." The physician should send you to an orthopedist. It is likely an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) examination will be ordered. An MRI is an excellent diagnostic tool.
It will be up to your physicians to diagnosis your injury AND directly link your knee injury to your job. The insurance company should pay all your medical bills, out of pocket expenses for medications, crutches, etc., and about 2/3rds of your lost wages during the time you are unable to work. There is no recovery for pain and suffering in workers compensation.
You should be able to handle the claim yourself. If for any reason the insurance company denies your claim based on a position your injury occurred outside of work you'll need an attorney. Most workers compensation attorneys do not charge for an initial office consultation. Hopefully you won't need one.
The above is general information. Laws change frequently, and across jurisdictions. You should get a personalized case evaluation from an attorney licensed in your state. Find a local attorney to give you a free case review here, or call (888) 647-2490.
Best of luck,
Judge Calisi

It has become a political commonplace that Ukip will hurt the Conservatives more than any other party. That's true, and it's one of the reasons why David Cameron has tied himself up in so many knots about Europe. But as Peter Hain warns today, Labour too should not underestimate the danger Ukip represents.
Mr Hain is right about his party neglecting its white working-class traditional support. It has been doing so for many years, though; Indeed, Labour has been warned before by its own voters, who have variously turned to the Liberal Democrats, the BNP, the SNP and Plaid Cymru to register their dissatisfaction.
That tells us something both hopeful and depressing. The optimistic spin is that disengaged voters tend to be repelled by the main "established" parties – which now of course includes the Liberal Democrats – rather than feeling any particular sympathy with the specific policies advocated by the parties of protest. The popularity of the BNP in parts of Essex a few years ago, for example, evaporated as quickly as it appeared. We should be more than grateful for that, and that the fundamentally democratic Ukip is marginalising the neo-Nazis. To that degree Ukip has neutralised and civilised what, in the hands of Nick Griffin, could be a much more divisive debate about immigration.
The pessimistic side of the story derives from the size and scale of the vote Ukip is likely to garner at the European elections and in next week's by-election in Wythenshawe and Sale. For the public – and especially the core Labour voters whom Mr Hain sympathises with – are giving up on politics and politicians. Of course politicians have always been unpopular, ranking somewhere close to estate agents and bankers in public esteem – but the current mood of "anti-politics" is shading into an "anti-democratic" groundswell, even nihilism, as epitomised in Russell Brand's deranged call for "revolution".
We have not heard it yet, and Nigel Farage certainly does not subscribe to this view, but it may not be long before some clever man on the make starts to persuade people that parliamentary democracy is actually useless, and that what the country needs is less of the "talking shop" and more strong, determined leadership in their interests. A populist agenda – not so very different from Ukip's, as it happens – can be easily constructed, centring on the old standbys of immigration, scapegoating business people and bankers, and blaming anything else that is wrong with the nation on Brussels and the "old parties" at Westminster. A time of economic difficulty – and nowhere has the squeeze on public spending, services and wages been felt so keenly as in Labour's heartlands – is an opportune moment for such activity.
Mr Hain believes the answer, for Labour at least, is for it to find "radical" policies. And yet this has not always worked in the past – the 1983 debacle being the outstanding example, with scars still visible on Labour's body politic. The answer may be something Mr Hain has more recent experience of: "New Labour". Deeply unfashionable now, but as Labour frets about its prospects, it might be a period worth revisiting. This summer will mark 20 years since Tony Blair become leader and launched his remarkable project to re-energise Labour's traditional support – and reach out to swing voters. He proved that it can be done.

A good Japanese restaurant in downtown Milan. Nice ambiance, reasonably quick and very corteous service. The mixed sushi/sashimi boat comes for 25 euros per person; it is quite abundant, and the quality is good. Altogether not cheap, but probably what you need to pay for good sushi in downtown Milan.
Off the beaten track for tourists so great value for money, delicious fresh sushi, service was excellent and easy to order with iPad viewer. Yu rolls and dragon rolls were a highlight!
We have just finished having a delicious meal, I would absolutely recommend it! The entrance looks very small but it's actually huge!
the peculiarity of Zen is the kaiten , small dishes on a treadmill all of a good standard each color of the plates refer to different prices.

The food was really excellent and the fish was fresh! The atmosphere remembers something Japanese, but I think the have to work on. Riduce the light would probably create a better atmosphere!
I was here for a lunch and I took a menu with Cirashi, so they broad me the plate with some sides it was a nice lunch and the sushi was really good. I think they can improve the service a little because we get the sides ages before the main. I will be back one evening to try something... More
Love the place, the food, the service, the belt with all the mini portions that allow you to try so many different dishes. Strongly recommended
I personally loved their sushi collection They had a very good attitude and fair price, it wasn't very crowded which mad it more comfortable to sit and enjoy the company

The master at a glance
Language | English |
Recognized Title | Academic Master's Degree |
The Master in Fashion Styling & Visual Merchandising program investigates the role of the fashion stylist—one who selects the clothing for fashion editorials, advertisements, music videos, etc.—alongside the role of the visual merchandiser, one who creates three-dimensional fashion displays to provide customers with fresh in-store experiences. The program proposes merging these two roles to create a new professional profile: that of the "visual fashion brand communicator," who directs the visual communication of a fashion brand.
As you study to become a visual fashion brand communicator, you will learn to convey a brand's identity and values through visual storytelling tools and create a compelling visual language for the brand. You'll analyze visual merchandising strategies—window displays, floor plans—for showrooms, concept stores, monobrand stores, and department stores.
During your year at Domus Academy, you will develop your own theoretical, analytical, and practical approach toward issues related to a specific segment of the fashion styling and visual merchandising field. And you'll gain direct experience working with top professionals and prestigious brands.
The program is designed for candidates with a first-level degree in fashion design, design, photography, architecture, communication, or other related disciplines. It is also aimed at young professionals who work in the fields of industrial design and journalism, and at those who work in the media offices of fashion, fashion styling, or visual merchandising companies. Owners of fashion studios and companies may also enroll to improve their skills in fashion styling and visual merchandising.
During this degree program, students will:
• Create a visual strategic language for a fashion brand
• Develop a coherent visual merchandising display
• Acquire and apply advanced theoretical, analytical, and critical knowledge of issues related to a specific segment in the fashion styling, visual merchandising, and brand communications field

Is there really such a thing as a tooth tattoo?
A few years back my wife and I took some time off to walk up and down Atlantic Avenue for the Camden ME Arts and Crafts show. My wife who is always on the lookout for making a new friend, overheard a conversation that a "tourist" was having with one of the artisans, and she overheard the "tourist" verbalize that he was a tooth artist. My dear wife then came over to me, and suggested that I should go over and talk to the "tourist", that mostly likely he was a dentist too. Ok, that's not going to happen. I remember thinking, "Leave him alone Lanita, he is on vacation." While later on in the same day Lanita happened to run into the … Continue reading →

Thanks Lee...I'll try the lowering my torso part and stepping in more on some balls. You're right in that I didn't do that. I am working on my rally ball, more consistancy is needed. For, I hit that last 6 or so balls as hard or harder than I ever hit my old fh. So, it's good to know that the pace still isn't quite there yet.
Correct, I'm trying to focus on this one shot. A consistant fh with more spin, pace and depth. I know the early balls in this video look pretty weak, but it's the last 10 or so that I hit the way I want to. It's a shot I can duplicate and I am liking the results so far. I need to continue to perfect it though, adding more pace and spin.
Lee, My biggest issue has been lack of consistancy when it comes to the FH. Yes, lack of pace was part of that too. From what you are saying, even when I feel like I am killing the ball at the end of the vid, they still look soft. I see where you are going on swinging faster. Thanks for the feedback my friend. I am loving the new grip. Just need to take advantage of it to its fullest.
Thanks Dozu! Great point about the tension in my arm. I'll work on that this weekend. Also, that visual is helpful as well. Thanks for the help, I'm trying to avoid becoming one of your "old dogs", LOL!
You're correct...I gave up the thought of fixing what I had and have started over. Taking a more modern approach adding spin, pace and depth all together. Even though I have a long way to go, I have already noticed big changes in my fh results.
I read that you are hitting with a ball machine and i never played with one so i can't comment about prep. if there is one thing i like htting with the live person is because i can read their movements and prepare for the next shot so this might be the challenge in this video but i am not sure. Anyway i watched the video, i can see that you are doing some shoulder turns but you are arming the ball and like what other people said you are a bit high. your follow through is still not consistent. i see you jumping Some pointers 1. better shoulder turn- after using your left arm to push the racket back keep it parallel with the baseline and keep it straght until your are ready to hit the ball, this is the standard for the proper shoulder turn in the forehand. 2. you tend to keep your non dominant arm on the side and really low. both your arms should sway together that at the end of your swing your nondominant hand is right beside your left shoulder waiting to catch the neck of the racket. this is the windshield wiper shot and it will force you to extend the elbow of your hitting arm and do a full shoulder turn 3. bend your knees, they are too straight. my instructor told me this secret the stance in tennis is like a skier, keep your self low, if you stand up you fall. 4. also you seem a bit tight, do some stretchings on the side, and dedicate atleast half hour to an hour of stetching everyday. it will keep you limber and your limbs will be like whips.
Hewex, Watched your vid, and I'm surprised some of the other (really good) technicians here did not comment on what jumped out at me. You're hitting consistently off your back foot! And lifting your front foot off the ground and swinging it around on the follow through. This forces your center of gravity back - you can see a backwards lean at contact - greatly reducing power and putting a high trajectory on the ball. I find that when I really pound a ball I pull the stick back and rotate the shoulders, and as the ball comes into the zone, I lean into it and uncoil, and follow through with all my weight on the forward foot and my back foot coming off the ground. Lean into the ball and enjoy the feeling of a well pounded ball!
Personally, I would never try to correct a guy using the "spanish" technique of loading the backfoot exclusively and pounding off it. Nadal Verdasco Ferrer Monfils and plenty other's hit almost every rally ball off the backfoot with most of the weight on the back foot....
Keep in mind, a reverse pivot, where you have your weight on your back foot and you rotate within the stroke with your left foot moving back--for right-handed forehand--and you are transfering your weight back to this now-back foot...you are essentially bringing (rotating) your hitting shoulder into the shot even while your weight may be shifting and moving back. We see a lot of the clay court trained players hit this way since it is an effective way to hit balls that are bouncing higher and the player is moving back for forehands. I'm not arguing this is better than any other forehand footwork pattern, but it is a viable one from this aspect. (Similar to the transverse weight transfer of an open stance forehand except that the weight instead of moving laterally, moves from front to back.)
Wow, thanks for all the recent posts. Lots of great insight and valuable tips to take to my next practice session.
Love this! LOL I'd like to, only I can't keep more than 2 fh's on the court before I miss. Or I couldn't use to. I've been working on it and next time I play I'll know more.
I agree with you guys (who definitely have more insight into technique than I) that hitting off the back foot is a viable technique, but for the OP's original problem of lack of forehand power, I have found that transferring weight forward is a nice easy way to accomplish that. I do hit off the back foot when necessary for deep fast high balls, but I find that for my level it is tough to do with precision and power...often these shots go high and right just like the OP's vid...
Thanks for the comment! When I started, I thought I could adjust my old technique. I've come to the conclusion that getting more consistancy through spin and adding power through better technique needed to be the goal. So, I started the process of learning a fh from scratch starting with a big grip change. I seriously had trouble keeping more than 3 fh's in during a rally and none of those could really be "hit" due to my lack of topspin. A couple things....a lot has been posted about hitting off the back foot. Some think it's not a good thing, others think it's ok. I'm not really sure how to approach that. There is a lot of information on this thread and it will take me a while to sift through it. But, it seems like I am losing pop by falling backwards. I'm using more spin than ever though, which I love. There is a perfect storm in there somewhere and I just need to find it. On the balls flying right and high. The camera was sitting much lower than I was. I did mishit some balls way out, but many balls were hitting on the baseline or just out. The ball machine was in the center of the court, and I was aiming to the right of it, up the line. That's why the balls were going right. I hope that makes sense. Again, great stuff and lots of food for thought.
Sounds like you and I are in the same boat as far as our age and returning to this wonderful game after a long layoff. I'm just commenting on things I have noticed as I tinker and re-develop my technique. Leaning back off the ball definitely makes it easier to put topspin on the ball, but I find it hard to generate that nice penetrating shot. I have to do it, though, when I move back to hit, especially on a ball with pace, because it's hard to reset and then transfer weight forward. Leaning into the ball is maybe a misnomer because it can sometimes cause a downward tilt, which usually results in a netball. Rather it is more of a transfer of weight into the swing, and if anything is a transfer forward and UP - this give me a penetrating topspin shot. Anyways, the main thing is enjoy the process of discovery, and good luck on your journey!
Interesting....I think I lean back because I had hit the ball so flat in the past, and I had to figure out a way to get it over the net. There is likely less need to do that now, with the grip change and technique in progress changes. It's likely a bad habit that I'll have to try and unlearn. Before now, the only way I could put pace on the ball was to step it and hit it really flat, I mean Jimmy Connors T-2000 flat. Now, I'm getting some jump on the back end with the top spin. As Lee mentioned, my shots are more rally balls than anything, but I can see the difference from where I was. That's great that you've come back to the game too. You're so right about the journey being fun. I look forward to hearing about your progress. Thanks for taking time to comment!
Western forehand, two different techniques. Rallyball you have. To flatten it out, karate chop flat onto the ball, level prep with expected ball bounce. Karate chop with your palm facing up at the sky.
Well I dunno if everyone will agree with me... But I think you are focusing too much on your finish - trying to make it all 'modern'. As a result you aren't swinging through the ball as much as you should be. You want to get alot more shoulder turn - and swing through the ball alot more. I'd advise going old school and catching the racquet too. As others have posted if you really swing up at the ball and have that 'doornob' style wrist action you will achieve a modern finish without forcing it. As Yandell pointed out in his modern forehand thread - pros can dial up different forehands for the situation - whether adding in more WW effect (with the forearm) or more uppercut effect (like on a lob) - or swinging through the ball more.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrZXReLNU1c&feature=related I think a forehand like this is an easier transistion - less forearm - more old school finish. I'd also recommend watching the Chuck Kriese Power tennis videos (Youtube) which really gets at the difference between modern and old school tennis better then almost any other video I have seen.
Guy, Thanks so much for taking a look at my video and for the feedback. I watched the berdych vid and he seems to have such a simple fh. I'd love to have something even close to looking like that. My goal right now is to develop a solid rally fh. I'm willing to put in the time and make changes. I want something I can take a moderate cut at. I want to generate enough spin to keep it in the court and be able to keep avoid excessive errors. Swinging up on the ball isn't something I do naturally I guess. It's only in the past few weeks that I have really focused on that thought, which has helped a lot. I always just assumed I was doing it, but videos don't lie. It seems like my best results are coming from focusing on.... Swinging up and across the ball, and accelerating the racquet through the ball. But, I still struggle with doing these things consistantly Everyone seems to be on the same page with my lack of shoulder turn. I have a lot of work to do on that. Even when I think I am doing it, my videos show I am not. It's pretty frustrating. I did used to catch my fh in my left hand, and am not sure why I stopped doing that. But, that's a good tip going forward. I watched the first Chuck Kriese video. Thanks for the recommendation. Very interesting and helpful for a guy like me who started playing with wood. I look really forward to watching the rest of them. Thanks again for the help!

Preceded by | Upstairs, Downstairs (1971) |
Upstairs Downstairs is a British drama series, broadcast on BBC One from 2010 to 2012[1] and co-produced by BBC Wales and Masterpiece. Created and written by Heidi Thomas, it is a continuation of the London Weekend Television series Upstairs, Downstairs that ran from 1971 to 1975 on ITV.
The series resumes the story of 165 Eaton Place, the fictional setting of both iterations of the programme, in 1936, six years after the original series concluded. Jean Marsh reprises her role as Rose Buck, who becomes housekeeper of the re-established household, with Ed Stoppard and Keeley Hawes playing its new owners Sir Hallam and Lady Agnes Holland. The first series, consisting of three episodes, was broadcast across consecutive nights during Christmas 2010. The second, and last, series consisted of six episodes, and first aired between 19 February 2012 and 25 March 2012. The series is set from 1936 to 1939, the outbreak of World War II.
Production history[edit]
Series 1[edit]
In October 2009 it was announced that the BBC was to revive the series as two 90-minute episodes to be broadcast on BBC One in the autumn of 2010, written by Heidi Thomas and set in 1936, six years after the original series finished.
At the time the original show ended its run, the year was 1930, the Great Depression had already begun, and the Bellamy family had lost all their money in the crash of 1929.
James Bellamy, the only son of Richard, the Viscount Bellamy, was responsible in persuading not only his family but also the faithful family servant, Rose Buck, to invest all their money in the stock market. Consequently, James committed suicide and the Bellamy family, as well as all the servants, left Eaton Place to start new lives.
Mr. Hudson, the head butler, and Mrs. Bridges, the cook, married and moved to the seaside, taking the kitchen maid, Ruby Finch, to live with them; Edward, the chauffeur, and his wife Daisy, the maid, were given new positions by the Bellamys' cousin, Georgina, and her husband, Lord Stockbridge, in their new country house; and Rose was offered the job as maid to Lord and Lady Bellamy at their small villa.
The new series would see Jean Marsh reprising the role of Rose Buck as the only original cast member from the LWT series. Buck now runs a domestic servant agency after a time away nursing a relative in the country. She returns to 165 Eaton Place as housekeeper to the new owners, the Holland family, with Dame Eileen Atkins playing one of the characters upstairs.
There are no explanations as to what has happened to Lady Bellamy, Georgina, Lord Stockbridge, as well as Mr. Hudson, Mrs. Bridges, Edward, Daisy, and Ruby during that six-year period. In fact, in the first installment, the Bellamy family and the original staff are only fleetingly referred to when Mrs. Thackeray, the new cook, refers to 165 Eaton Place as "the Bellamy house". However, Rose does mention Lord Bellamy as "the late" meaning he is dead by 1936. Also, there are scenes with Rose serving tea to Lady Agnes and Mrs. Thackeray at her domestic agency. Rose mentions that the teapot was given to her as a gift by Lord and Lady Bellamy in appreciation for all her years of service to the family. Also, in another scene when Lady Agnes gives Rose the keys to the wine cellar, she mentions that they had belonged to Mr. Hudson. Rose takes the keys and looks at them, smiling, in a very nostalgic way.
In August 2010, the BBC announced that the planned two 90-minute shows would instead consist of three hour-long episodes, with Keeley Hawes, Ed Stoppard, Anne Reid, Claire Foy, Adrian Scarborough, Art Malik, Ellie Kendrick, Blake Ritson, and Nico Mirallegro joining Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins in the cast.[2] In the middle of August 2010, filming started in Cardiff, with parts of the city transformed into 1930s Belgravia for exterior scenes, and the interiors shot in BBC's Llandaff studios in Cardiff.[3] Further filming of exterior scenes took place in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire in September 2010 with a terrace in Clarendon Square (by the same architect, Peter Frederick Robinson, as the London square used in the original series[4]) doubling up as Eaton Place.
The new Upstairs Downstairs was made in-house by BBC Wales as a co-production with Masterpiece on PBS,[5] and was broadcast on BBC1 with the debut episode shown on 26 December 2010. A soundtrack album of music from the new series by composer Daniel Pemberton was released on iTunes.[6] The three episodes have been picked up by overseas broadcasters, including the ABC in Australia, NRK in Norway, Sky in New Zealand, DR in Denmark, YLE in Finland, IBA in Israel and TV4 in Sweden.[7]
Series 2[edit]
BBC1 recommissioned six 60-minute episodes of the drama to be broadcast in 2012,[8] with Stoppard, Hawes, Reid, Foy, Malik, Ritson, Mirallegro, Scarborough and Jackson all returning to the series. Sarah Gordy and Alexia James, introduced during series 1 as Hallam's Down syndrome-suffering sister Pamela and the household's Jewish ward Lotte respectively, also continue to appear on a recurring basis. Eileen Atkins does not appear in series 2, having stated in the press that she was unhappy with the development of her character;[9] so Maud therefore dies before the series resumes. Ellie Kendrick also left the cast, with the character of Ivy replaced in the household with Eunice McCabe (Ami Metcalf). (Interestingly, the relationship between Eunice and Mrs. Thackeray, the cook, is quite similar to the interaction between Ruby, the kitchen maid, - played by Jenny Tomasin - and Mrs. Bridges, the cook, - played by Angela Baddeley- in the previous version of Upstairs, Downstairs.)
Jean Marsh was unable to attend the majority of filming for the series after suffering from a stroke and heart attack, with scripts altered shortly before filming to accommodate her absence.[10][11] On-screen Rose is confined to a sanatorium after contracting tuberculosis, and appears in two scenes over the series.
Other new additions to the cast include Alex Kingston as the younger half-sister of Maud, Blanche Mottershead and Laura Haddock as maid Beryl Ballard. Special guest stars in the series include Kenneth Cranham as Sergeant Ashworth, Michael Landes as American multimillionaire Caspar Landry, Emilia Fox as Blanche's lover Lady Portia Alresford and Sarah Lancashire as Violet Whisset, a love interest for Mr Pritchard. Derbyshire manufacturer The Dolls House Emporium supplied a period 'Montgomery Hall' dolls' house as a prop for the 2012 series.[12]

Sir Hallam Holland, a young diplomat, moves into the townhouse along with his wife, Lady Agnes, in January 1936 shortly before the death of King George V. They engage former parlourmaid Rose Buck, now running her own agency for domestic servants, to find them staff as they renovate the house to its former glory after years of being mothballed.
As they settle into London life, they are soon confronted with Lady Agnes' fiery young sister Lady Persephone, Sir Hallam's overbearing widowed mother, who moves herself into the house along with secretary and pet monkey, and a young, barely-trained house staff serving under a reluctant head housemaid. Added to these stressors are the still-plangent memory of Lady Agnes's past miscarriage, a mystery surrounding Sir Hallam's sister, who died as an infant, and a surprise foster-child they feel obliged to maintain.
Downstairs, life goes on much as it always has. Rose, convinced to remain, hires a staff of strong young hopefuls, to assist her trusted friend the cook, and the well-credentialled new butler. Besides training the young servants and navigating between her old memories and the new demands of the house, Rose must also help train Lady Agnes in the ways and manner of running a townhouse. The new downstairs family slowly begins to pull together as a unit, overcoming obstacles of age, class and race as they come to know one another's stories.

It was a substantial ratings success—garnering viewing figures of 8.85, 8.13 and 8.18 million respectively,[15] and winning its slot against all seasonal competition.[16] The programme was nominated for six Primetime Emmy awards in 2011.[17]
The second series of six episodes began on 19 February, with an audience of 7.78 million, but by the time it ended on 25 March, the viewing figures had dropped to 5.22 million. It was confirmed on 21 April that Upstairs Downstairs would not be returning for a third series.[18]
Composer Carl Davis was brought in for the second series, composing new incidental music, occasionally using elements from Alexander Faris's original theme for the original 1971 series—which was popularised as single release by Mantovani. Davis's music was released as a soundtrack album.[19] The soundtrack was nominated for the Ivor Novello Awards in 2013, but did not win.
