Share on ThriftyFunThis page contains the following solutions. Have something to add? Please share your solution!
Spread some lime over the area to get rid of the moss, or a cheaper method if you have a fireplace is to lightly spread some of the ashes over the area. If you wet it down, it sort of makes the gray disappear, but it gets rid of the moss.

A couple of years ago I asked how to remove green algae from my concrete steps and driveway. Someone recommended a solution of vinegar and something else. Unfortunately, I forgot the something else. All I know is that it worked. Please help. Thank you.
By Cindy S.
You could use vinegar straight or mixed with water. You could also try bleach and water in a ratio of 2 parts bleach and 1 part water or any ratio. Be sure to wear eye protection around bleach. And you might have to scrub the moss and algae with a brush. You could also try pressure washing but not with bleach. Or try some products made to remove moss and algae from a big box store.
baking soda
I have been told that vinegar n Epson salt dissolves is good for plumbing n many more task try that I'm going to try although give a good rinse when done
Vinegar and baking soda
How do you get algae off of concrete?
By jim from Australia
Bleach and a scrub brush.
Its caused because of dampness, try painting over it.That's what I did.
Ammonia solution works wonders for me
Can I spread farm lime over driveway?
How do you get algae off concrete
I concur. Painting over algaea is the most stupid, thing I ever heard of, when all you have too do is wait for the sun to be hitting the affected area, and bleach ,then rinse,and rinse,and rinse!!
How do I remove green mould from paved driveways? It is like a very thin layer on top of the pavers.
A bleach solution will remove it. Here is an article to read. www.doityourself.com/
Are you sure it is green mold? Most molds are black. If it is mold, use bleach solution.
I think it is probably algae. Algae is green and slimy and likes to grow on wet areas like mold. I would make a dilute vinegar solution and spray it on the pavers. The vinegar will also kill any weeds that want to grow in between the pavers.
A great thing to use is a spray with half water, half white vinegar, and 20 drops tea tree oil. This mix will nix mold in all its forms. If you don't have the tea tree, that's OK.
When I have to remove green mold from my driveway, patio furniture, the siding of my home I use a pressure washer it works well with this issue. Makes my life so must easier.
Thanks for answering my question but would that be white or brown vinegar??
I do agree the pressure washer is great on this sort of thing but my pavers are grey and I tried pressure washing them last year but it was taking the top layer off of them
What fast and simple way can I use to remove green algae from concrete steps? Thank you.
By Cindy S.
We use a power washer with a weak bleach concentration in the water - works great! If you don't have access to a power washer, you will need to get a good scrub brush and use a solution of 1 gallon water with 1 cup bleach added and just scrub it off - make sure to wear gloves, and to rinse off the steps afterwards.

We have had a lot of rain these past 6 weeks in Connecticut. My front concrete steps are very green. Is this moss or is this algae? How do I get rid of it? Thank you.
By Cindy Scotton from Suffield, CT
Don't know which it might be, but a pressure washer will get rid of it and make your steps look new again. (07/19/2009)
By marisa
Household bleach mixed half with lukewarm water and a teaspoon of dawn dish liquid in a gallon plastic container applied by pouring and brushing with a push broom on a sunny day. Test the area you spray before rinsing off all of it. You may have to leave it on overnight if heavy growth.
Let it dry in the sun then rinse with a hand held pressure sprayer nozzle. You'll have to put in a bit more work, but it's much cheaper than renting a machine that doesn't do that much better. Wait until the sun is down more, still light enough to rinse off. I have done this several times and never had a single problem with plants or grass, but if large leaves are nearby, toss a cheap painter's drop cloth over whatever you're rinsing near it. Move it with you to cover any plant you need. We had excellent luck with it.
Although I didn't try this, the paint store (Sherwin Williams years ago) had a 'mildew retardant' packet for paint additive that I would have used along with it and which was available in a small packet. (07/21/2009)
By lynda
Be environmentally safe and thoroughly spray (not pour directly because of run-off) with vinegar. It will kill whether it's moss or algae. Vinegar also kills even weeds in just a matter of hours.
Be sure not to let the vinegar spray get on any of your other plants or tree's leaves by spraying on a non-windy day and/or use a large piece of cardboard to keep the spray from hitting any plants next to your steps!
It also works best to do this on a warm and/or sunny day. :-) (07/21/2009)

NYS Police from Somers in conjunction with the North Castle Police Department and the Westchester County DA's office arrested the boy for making a terroristic threat and for aggravated harassment in the 2nd degree. Investigators at the New York State Intelligence Center received information, via hotline, that he had made threats to initiate a school shooting at the Westfield Day School in Armonk, NY. A subsequent investigation revealed that he had made several threats via texts to another student, including sending a photograph of himself holding what appeared to be a rifle. He was found at his home in Chappaqua and admitted to making the threats. He was subsequently arrested by the NYS Police. Four legally owned rifles were found at the house and they were subsequently removed by the State Police. Police.
Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. said, "We take school threats very seriously and will continue working closely with New York State Police and other law enforcement agencies to keep our children safe. In this case, we commend the New York State Police Intelligence Center and North Castle Police Department for their swift action." He was arraigned in the Town of North Salem Court and remanded to the Westchester County Jail in lieu of $15,000 cash bail or $30,000 bond.
DWI Arrests
While conducting traffic enforcement on Post Road after midnight May 12, police observed a 2018 Honda travelling without its lights on. Police conducted a traffic stop and noticing the driver and front seat passenger were making excessive movements as petrol approached the car. Upon making contact with the car's occupants, police noticed the front seat passenger – Jose I. Vidal, 34, of White Plains – had his hands between his legs, as if he was attempting to conceal a weapon or contraband. Patrol also noticed the driver – Edwin Roberto Tonato, 33, of White Plains – holding his groin area as if he was also attempting to conceal something. Patrol called for backup to assist with the investigation and asked the occupants of the car to step outside. Patrol conducted field sobriety tests, which Tonato failed. Tonato was placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. An alco-sensor test indicated a preliminary blood alcohol level of .16 percent. At headquarters, a Datamaster confirmed Tonato's blood alcohol content was .18 percent.

Taylor, 44, of White Plains, on charges of operating a motor vehicle with a suspended registration and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle with three or more suspensions on three or more dates. Patrol learned of Taylor's numerous suspensions after a license plate reader sounded in a patrol car when Taylor's car passed on Post Road. A department of motor vehicles database check indicated Taylor's registration had been suspended nine times. The suspensions included eight scoffs on four different dates. Taylor was arrested and released on $250 cash bail, with an appearance ticket for Scarsdale Village Justice Court, returnable June 13. The license plates were removed from Taylor's car, and it was towed to his residence at his request.

On May 9, while walking home from the Hartsdale train station, a woman found a pink and purple bicycle in the bushes on Fountain Terrace. The woman thought it was an odd place for a bike and, given the rash of recent bicycle thefts in the village, she brought it home with her and called police. Patrol picked up the bike and discovered it was the same bike reported stolen from the fence area on Scarsdale Avenue May 7. Patrol returned the bike to its owner. On May 9, a purple and gray Schwinn bicycle with two helmets was reported stolen from a Walworth Avenue garage. The bicycle was valued at $350.

A real estate agent in the village reported that someone fraudulently assumed her identity and entered into a fraudulent real estate transaction with a person who was allegedly selling a timeshare property in Mexico. As part of the fraudulent sale, a victim paid $3875 to the person who had assumed the real estate agent's identity. The victim asked for her money back when she realized the transaction was fraudulent, and after she did not received her money back, she filed a complaint with the NYS department of licensing against the actual real estate agent in Scarsdale. The real estate agent reported the matter to police in order to start the process of disputing the complaint.

The two texted back and forth about the alleged tutoring job for about a week. The man said he would send a check to the girl's house. She then received a check for $3,950. The man told her the check was to cover several months of tutoring. The girl took the check to a Citibank branch in Larchmont to inquire if the check was legitimate. There, a bank employee examined the check and said there was no record of the routing number.

A player like Di Maria is certainly wasted on a club as Manchester United, but he will certainly fit in Laurent Blanc's Paris St. Germain where he will join other South Americans (and Argentines) such as Ezequiel Lavezzi, Javier Pastore, Edison Cavani, Thiago Silva, as well as the great Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The purchase of Di Maria is only bound to make Paris better this coming season.

Di Maria to Paris
The long running rumour that Angel Di Maria was on the way out of Manchester United have been confirmed. Next season Angel Di Maria will be in Paris St. Germain. For any football fan this is a welcome change; Di Maria is one if the best players in the world, but his change to Manchester United put him at a club with a coach that was not willing or able use Di Maria in his tactical setup. This reinforced a period where Di Maria seemed to lack a confidence that is so important for any footballer.

text: Gul has pledged to uphold Turkey's secular system [EPA] Friend said: "The fact she hasn't been invited by the military may signify the beginning of a working arrangement between Mr Gul, who obviously has strong Islamic roots and the military, who see themselves as the guardians of the secular state." Senior generals had earlier boycotted the president's swearing in-ceremony, widely-seen as a sign of protest against their new commander-in-chief. Criticism Critics have accused Gul and the AK party of pushing an "Islamist agenda" but the president has insisted he will maintain Turkey's separation of religion and state. Special report A series of reports on Turkey's political landscapeOn Wednesday, Gul approved a cabinet with a mix of AK party and secular members aimed at pushing stalled political and economic changes necessary to win entry to the EU. The 25-member cabinet includes eight new members, and has strong business credentials. In July, the ruling AK party won a sweeping election victory but was unable to form a government until now due to objections by Ahmet Necdet Sezer, Gul's secularist predecessor. Gul's original candidacy in April had also sparked months of political turmoil in Turkey after secularists opposed the move. Friend said: "Turkish politics after the election of a new president, the announcement of a new cabinet, is slowly getting back to normal." "But clearly, these tensions that we've seen will bubble away under the surface." SOURCE: Al Jazeera and agencies

How To Come Up With Website Content That Your Visitors Would Love
Seriously, how many times have you heard the phrase "content is king." One too many times, perhaps, that you're practically sick of it? Don't be, my friend. Such is more than just a catchphrase to win your interest. It is a fact, the one fact that could spell boom or doom for your online endeavor.
Content is all about information, and the Internet is fueled by a need for the same. This is why the Internet has always been labeled as the information superhighway. The rule when it comes to websites has evolved from the rather shallow "build it and they will come" point of view to the "give them what they want and they will arrive in droves" belief. Truly, the latter has more credibility. Would you spend your precious time, for example, on a website that offers nothing but junk?
So clearly, much care should be observed in crafting the "quality content" for your website. Your content, after all is the best investment you could make to generate sustainable traffic for your website. It is what your visitors are after, and it would serve you well if you'd be able to give them what they want.
Here are some tips you could take to ensure that your content would perfectly satisfy your visitors' expectations.
* You cannot write without knowledge. So research the topic you want to discuss before commencing on the writing process. Often, if we have no idea about what to convey with our piece, it would just be unreadable and pointless, and this is something that you must try to avoid.
* Focus on one subject alone. You can't discuss a variety of fields unless they are interrelated. And even if such interrelationship exists, you'll just confuse your readers if you present to them several areas of study. Just stick to one subject, and narrow it down as much as you could to maintain your direction throughout the piece. If you find yourself falling into another field as you are writing then that field should become another page on your site.
* Make sure that you disclose accurate information. When quoting a statistic, always include the source. People in general are wary about reading data that can conveniently and fraudulently be produced. You have to win their trust by giving them credible and verifiable information.
* Pay attention to the intricacies of writing for the web audience. Avoid technical jargons as much as you could. Keep your paragraphs short, around three to five sentences each, as this would make good use of negative space, which is the blank area between a clusters of words that allow the eyes to rest. Some experts actually claim that you should write as if you're talking to a 12 year old. This may have some truth, as you will be catering to a wide variety of people. Their reading comprehension would also vary, and you need to reach a middle ground.
* Try to win their attention with your headline, or, at the very least, your first few lines. As we've mentioned earlier, Internet users aren't really known for their patience, so you have to grab their interest from the get go.
* Use bulleting and numbering as much as you could. Not only will these make your piece easier to read, you would also be giving your readers the opportunity to scan your content to see if it is indeed what they need.
* Do not forget to divide your content into categories whenever applicable. Instead of covering variety of subgenres on one page, for example, a lot a page for every subgenre instead. Not only will this strategy direct your readers to where they should be going to get the particular information that they need, this would also allow you to make good use of specialized keywords that would more effectively fetch the search engine spiders, or garner the desired ads if ever your website is enrolled under a Pay Per Click (PPC) program.
Good quality content is the foundation of a good website. With the tips above, you would be able to erect for yourself and for your online endeavor a solid base for that much desired level of success. You will notice that I used the word quality next to the word content. This is done because there are a lot of pages on the internet that are generated by a program and don't help anyone. These pages will not withstand the rankings in search engines that writing quality content can produce. Good luck with your site.

text: Martin Goodwin Back to 'Postgraduate Research' Doctoral Researcher Current Status First year Research Topic Quality assurance of communication and involvement between staff and pupils with severe and profound learning difficulties: towards a whole school approach within special schools. Research summary In 2015 a publication that I co-wrote entitled Communicate with Me – A Resource to Enable the Effective Communication and Involvement with People with a Learning Disability (Goodwin et al 2015) was published by Speechmark. This research seeks to further contribute to the development of the quality assurance framework (QAF) and analyse it's effectiveness by seeking to understand how it can improve and develop special schools implementation of communication and involvement. Effective Communication and Involvement that is of good quality may be highly variable and contingent on the quality of support that individual practitioners offer and the support that they the practitioner receive from the service. A strategic approach that uses a QAF and guidance may ensure that practitioners are supported by management and the structures and systems of the service so that they can be effective in their role as communication partners. My key research question is: To what extent does use of the Communicate with Me QAF improve the effectiveness of how communication and involvement is implemented and developed within special schools for practitioners working with students who have S/PMLD ? In relation to this overriding research question, I have the following sub-questions: How does the CWM-QAF support managers of schools to lead change and enhance the strategic development of effective communication and involvement? How does the use of the CWM-QAF develop reflexivity and the quality of action planning in relation to effective communication with and involvement? How does the use of the CWM-QAF support the learning and development of teachers and teaching assistants? How effective are the CWM-QAF mechanisms and processes in analysing, evidencing staffs skills and verifying the quality of communication and involvement?

12 Jul You Get What You Give: Transform Your Life & Business
How 'The Go-Giver' Mentality Transforms Lives and Businesses
No amount of technology, information or innovative management strategy can make you into a success. These are important resources for business owners, but even companies that have all of these things can struggle to maintain the growth they need to reach their potential.
After spending decades running and building businesses of my own, I can say with certainty that mentality matters more than you might think. Shifting your mindset from "getting" to "giving" might be the single most important process in your life. This change requires a fundamental rethinking and reshaping of your identity on a professional and personal level.
What Exactly is a Go-Giver?
You've probably heard people described as being a "real go getter" more than once in your life. Usually, this phrase is used to describe people who are motivated and work hard to pursue ambitious goals they set for themselves. There is only one key difference between a "go getter" and "go giver": they focus on the needs of others rather than self.
The Go-Giver philosophy is based on several simple truths that virtually all successful business leaders follow. The tenets of this system are detailed in Bob Burg's and John David Mann's book The Go-Giver, which lays out essential business principles in the format of a simple story that follows a character named Joe.
Bob's Five Laws of Stratospheric Success
In his book, Bob and John discuss five laws that business leaders should follow in order to reach the heights of success. They are simple to understand, but require real thought, action and desire to put into practice.
1. Value: The value of a product or service is equal to the difference between the cost and the worth to the end user. If a service costs $100 and saves the client $300, then it provides a value of $200.
2. Compensation: Your income is a function of the number of people you serve and the quality of your service. The best way to increase total compensation is to steadily increase both numbers.
3. Influence: A person's influence represents their impact on people around them, which is directly determined by how often they place the interests of others before their own.
4. Authenticity: It doesn't matter whether you are in a professional or personal setting, you as a person are the most valuable thing you have to offer. There's no substitute for authenticity, so you should always be honest and genuine with others.
5. Receptivity: People who naturally seek to serve others often struggle with the final law, because it means they have to accept the gifts of others. Giving and receiving are mutual processes that exist together. Part of being a go giver is knowing how to receive as well.
Incorporating Giving Principles Into Your Business Practices
As a speaker and coach of The Go-Giver methodology, I help Dante Group's clients understand and apply these principles in their companies. It's truly amazing what can happen when a business starts following the laws of giving and learns how to prioritize the interests of others over their own.
As a management consultancy, the practical implementation of abstract concepts and ideas is one of the most important services that we offer. We understand that turning words into actions isn't just a matter of rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty. This process requires critical thinking, experience and an intimate understanding of human nature.
We help our clients give physical form to their ideas and create a real, tangible framework that they can use as a foundation to build their dream. Following the laws of giving isn't just about reaping financial rewards, they also help you find a professional path that is personally gratifying and fosters genuine satisfaction in your own life.

When choosing a hotel who doesn't like to aim high? Well, now you can scale some really dizzy heights at the Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong, the world's tallest hotel which opened this week.
Towering 490 metres over the Hong Kong skyline, the hotel is the fourth highest buiding in the world and has amazing views of Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong island and the New Territories. It's super luxurious with an Espa spa located on the 116th floor and the roof top terrace is set to become the space to sip a cocktail come sundown, providing you don't suffer from vertigo. Oh and we like the sound of the Chocolate Library on the 103rd floor, serving, you've guessed it, chocolate dishes all day long!
The Ritz Carlton has just taken the crown from another Chinese hotel.The Park Hyatt in Shanghai occupies the 79th to 93rd floors of the World Financial Center. Complete with tai chi courtyard, the hotel is Grazia Daily's favourite place to rest our heads when staying in the city.
Of course it's no surprise that the place with the most skyscraper hotels in the world is Dubai – with the Armani Hotel Dubai, the Rose Rayhaan and the Burj Al Arab.
The Armani Hotel, Georgio Armani's first-ever hotel, drips luxury and style, with fashionable decor and 'lifestyle managers' instead of hotel receptionists, all dressed head to toe in Armani. The hotel also boasts an Armani sweetshop and florist … oh, and the world's highest swimming pool.
Soaring 333 metres and 72 storeys, the flower-shaped Rose Rayhaan is the flagship of an alcohol-free company so tends to appeal to business travellers and families. Resembling a billowing sail, the iconic Burj al Arab climbs 321 metres and bills itself the world's most luxorious hotel. With rain showers and Jacuzzis in every suite, a Rolls Royce and helicopter fleet and butlers on call around the clock, it's no wonder that Naomi Campbell, Victoria and David Beckham and Eva Herzigova have all been spotted here – this is super luxurious even for Dubai!

Lime-ageddon, guacpocalypse, mojito-gate … call the looming lime dilemma what you will, but we're calling it an opportunity to put some new fruits in the limelight, so to speak.
Some suggest that we should be back in limes by mid-spring; but with the way things are looking in Mexican lime growing regions – the source of most of our limes – we're preparing for the worst.
Lime buyers say that prices have more than quadrupled this year, jumping from $14 a case to more than $100. Bad weather and a tree disease in Michoacán, Mexico, have wreaked havoc on the lime supply, further exacerbated by the mind-boggling influence of drug cartels. (Because apparently when making billions of dollars on cocaine isn't enough, it's time to begin shaking down lime farmers.) At this point, the Knights Templar Cartel controls the wholesale distribution center where growers sell limes to the global market, making limes an even hotter commodity.
But we digress; back to more important things like margaritas.
So, the standard advice will most commonly be: No limes? Use lemons. And while you will get an acidic tart taste, any citrus lover can tell you that the two are not the same. Limes are just … limier. Limes have an energetic je ne sais quoi in the finish that lemons lack; lemons are tart, but they're softer in flavor.
While both lemons and limes have a pH of around 2, other factors contribute to the taste of sourness; both the overall concentration of acid (titratable acidity) and the amount of sugar. Limes are a bit more acidic than lemons and have much less sugar, meaning that if you do a simple swap of lemons for limes in a recipe designed around limes, chances are it's going to be a bit off. So off as to be bad? Unlikely, but it may be lacking that perfect balance of flavors that makes an eater/drinker murmur an involuntary, "mmmm."
So with that in mind, we've rounded up some of our favorite recipes that provide a bright, citrusy pizzazz without the use of limes. May they get you through the crisis.
1. The Salty Chihuahua: Rub the edge of a glass with a little grapefruit juice and dip it in kosher salt to make a salt rim. Carefully add ice to the glass, add one ounce of tequila and two or three ounces of (preferably fresh) grapefruit juice. (Make it a Sweet Chihuahua by rimming the glass with sugar instead of salt and add a little fresh mint.) Swizzle, drink, woof.
2. Tequila + Tangerine with Compari: Consider it a Tequila Sunrise Makeover. Over ice, pour 1 ounce of tequila, 1 ounce of Compari and 1 ounce of tangerine juice; finish with sparkling water, garnish with tangerine slice.
3. The Bees Knees: With its clever use of honey, gin, a bright flash of lemon and optional borage blooms, this drink feels downright curative … and may make you buzz.
4. Strawberry Basil Sangria: Leave it to libation-loving recipe whiz Jerry James Stone to come up with a recipe like this (pictured above); it's a special thing.
5. Hibiscus and Ginger Sangria: See number 4.
6. Lemon Shandy: This tart and cheery beer cocktail is perfect for a spring (or summer, or autumn, or winter) afternoon.
7. Minty Lemon-cello: It's lemony, it's minty, it will make you forget about not having any limes.
8. Watermelon Martini: While a martini may be a counterintuitive stand-in for a margarita, the watermelon adds enough fun factor to make it all OK.

At this point in time, salsa and guacamole have become as American as apple pie … even if they are Mexican in origin. While you can use lemon in both, purists may protest; these twists on the classics have enough spin that the lime won't be missed.
9. Old-School Guacamole: By most accounts, the ancient Aztec version of guacamole was made with mashed avocados, chili peppers, tomatoes, white onions, and salt. Who needs limes?
10. Smoky Guacamole: While not as charred-smoky as Jerry's Grilled Avocado Guacamole, this recipe for Smoky Guacamole employs roasted garlic and jalapenos; added bones, it doesn't call for limes.
11. Asparagus Guacamole: Well isn't this clever, guacamole that's made with asparagus! And since we all know that asparagus and lemon are practically inseparable, rest assured there are no limes involved.
12. Avocado Hummus: The world's favorite Mexican-Middle Eastern love child. To a food processor, add: 1 15-ounce can of chick peas; flesh from 1 – 2 ripe avocados; 1/3 cup olive oil; 1/2 cup lemon juice; 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini; and 1 clove garlic, process for three minutes or until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and hot sauce.
13. White Bean and Lemon Dip: This simple and creamy white bean dip with lemon zest actually works quite well for indulging cravings for both bean dip and guacamole. While it doesn't have avocado, it is nonetheless bright, creamy and rich in a similar way.
14. Kiwi and Jalapeño Salsa: Kiwi's sassy flavor completely negates the need for citrus. Bingo!
15. Corn and Avocado Salsa: Like salsa and guacamole wrapped into one. Plus corn. And all brought together with sea salt, cilantro and a whole lot of lemon (pictured above).

With a softer, sweeter side than lime, lemon is generally the more popular citrus for use in desserts – but even so, it's really (really) hard to beat a good slice of Key lime pie. If you need a Key lime pie fix, try one of these instead.
16. Lemon Cheesecake: This sweetie-pie lemon cheesecake is tart, sweet and creamy and will win favor for those with a tangy sweet tooth.
17. Lemon Cream Pie: This recipe for lemon cream pie is not too far off from a Key lime pie; but it's developed especially for lemons.
18. Honey Lemon Curd: If you have a fierce citrus habit, make this lemon curd and put it on everything; scones, toast, ice cream, crepes, muffins, biscuits, shortcakes, cupcakes, in tarts (like pictured above) or skip all that and just eat it with a spoon. It's sure to cure any lingering lime blues.
5 large egg yolks
1 large egg
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated organic lemon zest
1/3 cup honey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and egg with the lemon juice and honey.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it becomes pale and thickened, between 7 and 10 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps. Whisk the butter in until it has melted.
Stir in the lemon zest, cover with wax paper, and let cool to room temperature.
