Your lawn breathes just like you do. It exchanges gases with the atmosphere as it grows. Aeration is a maintenance practice that many homeowners overlook, but one that should be incorporated into every lawn care regime for a thicker, healthier lawn.
Aeration is the removal of a small core of soil or the punching of a thin hole into the soil. There are two kinds of tips, or "tines", that can be used on an aerator tool: hollow and solid. Of the two types, hollow tine aeration removes a solid plug of soil from the ground. This is most effective at improving air flow. In contrast, solid tine aeration punches a hole in the soil, removing thatch in the process. A thatch layer greater than ½ inch thick can prevent roots from getting the right amounts of air, light and water. While the solid tines are effective in removing thatch, the tine can compact the soil. For this reason, the hollow tine method is generally preferred.
• Alleviates soil compaction
• Improves drainage
• Encourages deep root growth
• Reduces weed populations
• Increases fertilizer uptake
• Prevents thatch
We recommend an annual aeration with seasonal timing. Cool season turf should be aerated in the spring or the fall (or both to maximize the impact). Warm season turf should be aerated between mid-spring and summer, avoid aerating in the fall when your turf is dormant.
Manual and power equipment can be purchased or rented for the home aerator from many businesses specializing in lawn and garden supplies. Home aerators should tag sprinkler heads to avoid damaging irrigation set-ups. Aeration holes can be spaced 2-6 inches apart, and go anywhere from 1-6 inches deep. Don't feel up to the task? Call your local landscape company or garden center.
Immediately following aeration, your lawn is ripe for seeding and fertilization. The holes provide excellent soil exposure for seeds and deliver fertilizer directly to the roots of your grass. Make sure you use high quality seed and use fertilize with Milorganite.

Comments about Lansky Professional Sharpening System:
This is, IMO, THE best sharpening system on the market. I've been using mine for years now and the only down side is finding replacement stones when you wear them out. After ten years plus of use I can live with that.
The system lets you choose your sharpening angle depending on what you use it for from a very sharp but brittle steep angle to a more heavy duty angle for use on the farm or job and a couple of angles in between.
The only downside to it is that it can be slightly difficult to use without using the table clamp system. The little plastic stand that you can buy is worthless because it moves too easily so definitely add the table clamp type holder. Also, it is not great for less than a 2.5 to 3 inch blade. It will work, but only at heavy duty angles.
I liked mine so much that I bought them for my nephew and my brother-in-laws for Christmas and even they could sharpen knives with them. Now I no longer have to sharpen for them. If you can read and follow directions, you can sharpen a knife with this system.

Contributed by Frédéric Breussin, Business Unit Manager Microfluidics & Medical Technologies, Yole Développement
Heavy recent investment by big players and significant new technologies now poised for introduction are accelerating the growth of the microfluidics market, pushing it towards $4 billion by 2016.
We estimate sales of microfluidic devices were up a healthy 19% in 2011, reaching roughly $1.3 billion, outpacing the 18% growth the sector saw from 2008 to 2010. We expect growth to pick up further over the next few years, with sales of fab-level microfluidics devices (not including chemistry) to average 23% annual compound growth through 2016, pushing the sector to almost $4 billion.
Some major manufacturers from other large volume polymer industrial markets are looking at turning their injection molding production skills to the microfluidics market. The small microfluidics volumes to date have made it diffi cult to get full industrial- volume controlled- process quality production –and such efficiencies are needed to spread the mold costs for injection molding over sufficient units to bring costs for disposable polymer microfluidics cartridges down to the necessary levels of $1-$2. But new players like Sony with its video disk experience and Konica with its microlens production skills will bring more sophisticated polymer volume manufacturing technology to the microfluidics sector.
Big muscle behind new technologies
New lower cost technologies for more useful point-of-care diagnostics are also about to hit the market. Growth in that potentially large market has been slower than expected, as suppliers have struggled to find compelling enough applications at low enough costs. But several elegant solutions for low cost tests for conditions where fast response really matters are poised for commercial introduction. We look for major players like Philips, BioCartis and Samsung to introduce new platforms for low cost polymer microfluidic diagnostic tests for cardiac states, bacterial infections and blood gases this year and next. Samsung Electronics will likely soon get international approvals for the bench- top automated blood analyzer it's now selling to small clinics and hospitals in Korea. The system tests for 19 clinical analytes, including cholesterol, glucose, and indicators of heart, liver and kidney disease, all in about 12 minutes, thanks to a clever cassette design. The approach uses different spinning profiles of centrifugal force to move and mix the fluids for different steps, and laser heating to melt seals on various preloaded reagent wells as needed. Royal Philips Electronics and bioMérieux have integrated bioMérieux's assay technology for heart attack markers on to Philips' rapid diagnostics testing platform and are now engineering a commercial disposable cartridge and setting up manufacturing for product launch in 2013, aiming to match lab test accuracy with faster speed and lower cost.
Some of the technology acquisitions are also starting to show the results from the wider reach of their new big-company parents. BD Diagnostics aims to make the automated bench-top molecular test station technology it acquired with startup HandyLab into the laboratory equivalent of the smart phone, partnering with other infectious disease assay suppliers to port more tests to the platform. Beyond the current screening tests for MRSA infections and C.difficile diarrhea in hospital patients and B streptococcus in pregnant women, it's working with Diagenode in Belgium to develop molecular diagnostic assays for respiratory and gastrointestional infections and meningitis, Biodiversity in Italy to port its molecular diagnostics for infections in immunocompromised and transplant patients, and Lab21 in the United Kingdom to add its Aspergillus fungus test to the automated test platform. Similarly,testing giant bioMérieux is porting assays for immunocompromised patients from its acquisition Argene to the automated test cartridges its developing with its part-owned partner Biocartis.
Strong growth for environmental testing and biomedical research
Such biologic diagnostic and medical screening tests, and environmental and industrial uses — worth some $910 million overall in 2010 — comprise the majority of the microfluidics market. The major applications are clinical and veterinary laboratory tests, to identify bacterial strains or to track response to cancer treatments. Typically these systems save time and money in the lab by using polymer microfluidics with relatively simple structures to automate testing, to reduce costs and speed turnaround time. Tests range across chemical detection for blood analysis; immunoassays for identifying bacteria and viruses; molecular detection for identifying and quantifying pathogens; and cytometry for blood counts and detection and analysis of cells.
Industrial and environmental testing applications will be the hot growth sector, with 38% CAGR through 2016, driven by the rollout of technology now available that can meet the increasing regulatory requirements and consumer demand for assuring food and water quality, with test for bacteria like e-coli as well as pesticides and other contaminants. Though sending the sample to the lab and inspecting what grows in the petri dish under a microscope a week later remains the standard reference for accuracy, companies are increasingly also using the faster microfluidics tests in house for more immediate feedback, and for ongoing monitoring and optimizing of their control and treatment processes.
Bringing these diagnostic and screening tests out of the lab and directly to the point of care, and expecting analysis in minutes instead of hours has proved rather more demanding, as the risk-adverse medical world still puts more trust in the accuracy of the traditional lab culture, and there are not so many applications where the faster results seem worth the still significantly higher cost— or worth revamping the whole established lab test system with its entrenched interests. But point of care diagnostics now appear to be poised for growth. We project 31% CAGR through 2011-2016. These diagnostics are starting to make inroads in emergency rooms, particularly for diagnosing cardiac events and identifying the bacteria causing severe infections, where saving time saves lives and cost is not an issue. Hospitals are also finding cases, such as kidney dialysis, where avoiding sending the sample to the lab and back streamlines operations enough to save cost, while allowing immediate adjustment of treatment. But the multiplicity of human diseases still means relatively small markets for most types of tests.
Demand for microfluidics devices for research in pharmaceuticals and life sciences is also poised for strong 34% compound average annual growth, to pass the $1 billion mark by 2016, as research moves to more complex biological analysis on more complex devices. Traditionally the pharmaceutical industry has used microfluidics for accurate dispensing of chemicals into well plates for high throughput robotic processing to screen many reactions at once. But it's getting harder to develop major new medications that way. Instead the next generation of new drugs will increasingly require not just more automated screening of chemicals, but biologic testing to understand the underlying processes and the genomes and proteins involved, and the body response on the cellular level, to develop new molecules. That requires genomic and proteomic analyses to quickly screen for different populations or for effective responses. And that needs more complex high density chips with thousands of reaction chambers and high precision structures that have to be etched in glass or silicon, not on polymer. Genomics will continue to be the largest segment, but both proteomics and other miniaturized cell-based assays will see somewhat faster growth opportunities, though will remain relatively small in total unit sales.
Demand for microfluidics for drug delivery systems, primarily asthma inhalers and micropumps, will slow a bit to 20% CAGR for the period.

DENVER (AP) -- Groundwater near oil and gas wells is up for discussion by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
The industry regulators are set to hold a hearing today on proposed rules for sampling and monitoring of groundwater near proposed new wells. The tests could help show whether water has or hasn't been contaminated by drilling.
The commission will later consider testimony on "setbacks," or how close wells can be to buildings such as schools or homes.
Decisions on those and other matters before the commission probably won't be made until next month

As cotton farmers, ginners and other stakeholders are embroiled in internal struggle for or against contract farming that may cripple the sector, it has emerged out that Tanzania ginners on the international default list are hindering the nation's cotton sector.
The presence of ginners in the list consequently lead to downgrading Tanzania's cotton due to erosion of trust among some traders at the international levels, and inadvertently, affects their counterparts who have been meeting their contractual obligations.
Tanzania Cotton Association (TCA) chairman Christopher Mwita Gachuma said on Saturday in an interview that it was prudent to ensure none of country's ginners is blacklisted as it does not serve to improve the standing of the sector in competition with other nations.
"Tanzania's cotton used to be in the past placed at a better position than America's. Unfortunately, the country has not been able to maintain the high standards, " he told a meeting of cotton stakeholders held in Mwanza.
According to data from the UN Food and Agriculture
Organisation's (FAO), Tanzania ranks 17th country in world production of raw seed cotton, well below other African nations like Burkina Fasso and Nigeria, but suffering very poor productivity and quality standards.
Available information indicates that seven ginners in Tanzania have been blacklisted in recent years and cannot sell their cotton in the world market, giving the sector a bad name.
They have been blacklisted for violating their own sales contracts with international buyers and have subsequently been placed on the "default list" of the International Cotton Association ("ICA"). The ICA is the world's leading international cotton trade association and arbitral body.
The list is a service of the ICA to its members and cautions international buyers from doing business with sellers or ginners who have previously defaulted on contracts, costing their counter-parties substantial losses in the competitive international cotton market.
Internationally, continuing inclusion of these defaulting ginners in the domestic market for raw seed cotton may have negative consequences for Tanzania's cotton market over-all.
According to 'Cotlook A' index, Tanzanian cotton consistently suffers a discounted price when compared with cotton grown in other markets.
Within the 'Cotlook A' index, an internationally important pricing indicator representing the average of the five lowest bids for ginned cotton lint, the price offered for Tanzanian cotton is consistently lower than the other four.
In July of 2011, traditionally the month with the highest level of seed cotton trading in Tanzania, the discount suffered in international markets by Tanzanian exporters ranged around five percent.
While such discount may also be attributable to other factors, the trustworthiness of Tanzania's ginners must be a factor.
Ginners included in the ICA default list in 2011 include: Badugu Ginning Company of Musoma, Chesano Cotton Ginnery of Magu, Integrated Cotton Field of Mwanza, Jambo Oil Mills & Ginnery of Shinyanga, Japs & Scraps of Dar es Salaam, KBL Enterprises also of Mwanza, MSK Solutions of Dar es Salaam, Nsagali Company of Bariadi, Roko Investments of Tabora and Vitrics Oil Mill of Shinyanga.
Emanuel Silanga, managing director of Nsagali Company, said he had negotiated with his creditors and instituted measures that had seen his company on the way from being deleted from the list so as to continue with the business.
TCA chair Gachuma confirmed some of the ginners were negotiating and would eventually get out of the list but added it was important in the first place for ginners to avoid getting in the list by meeting their contractual obligations.
Gachuma said contract farming would help to redeem Tanzania's cotton standing in the international market. He said overall Tanzania's cotton was being treated as third rate in the world. Only assured quality produce would help the standing quality to go to the top.
Cotton sector stakeholders want contract farming to be improved, not scrapped. The cotton sector in the country is in limbo following lack of clear directive regarding contract farming, which had been initially endorsed by TCA and the regulatory authorities, giving hope for the revival of the third largest export crop in the country, which over 16 million people depend on for survival.
Across section of ginners say the cotton sector in Tanzania would fall into deep waters if contract farming is halted following a wide concerted opposition by some ginners, who are not able to meet the new demands in terms of investments to support the venture.
Gachuma says that most ginners support the contract faming module but some have problems with the way it was being implemented.
"I believe we'll be able to come to a consensus on the best way forward in improving contract farming. It is important for ginners and farmers to speak with one voice so as to work for the assurance of the cotton sector's future," he says.
A representative of one of the major buyers of the produce, Jagan Gopinath of Olam Tanzania strongly advises that if the contract farming model for the cotton sector fails, it would be difficult for private investors to top up their stakes in the sector.
It's apparent that ginners who have invested billions in contract farming want the concept to go on while others who find themselves short of necessary funding, feel that they were being pushed out of the business because of the heavy investments required.
"The best way forward to increase productivity and quality of cotton produced in Tanzania is contract farming, which is win-win for all. It enables the stakeholders including the government to keep a watch at the whole value chain. It is the only viable way. I am telling this based on our experience in Zambia, Ghana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Ivory Cost," says Jagan Gopinath .
He says that contract farming has revived cotton sector successfully in Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
"This is going to be the same case in Tanzania, but if we allow the non-investing ginners free-for-all buying without supporting farmers with inputs, we will be taking steps backward," he told the stakeholders meeting.
Sunday Mtaki, a consultant to the cotton industry, also feels that a lot of efforts invested to revive the crop will all come to cropper if cotton farming is thrown out and the nation will have to go back to the drawing board.
Contract farming is a private-sector transaction facilitating farmers and ginners collectively investing land, labor, credit, high-value inputs, education and technology to their mutual benefit.
Ginners form a "platform" from which rural Tanzanians may secure the means of production to transform themselves into productive cotton farmers.
"Without implementation contract farming, Tanzania's cotton sector faces immediate peril. Record levels of planted acreage achieved this season will not be repeated as without organised support of ginners in securing and distributing significant levels of inputs on a credit basis, farmers may not be able to make it, says the chief executive officer of Singida-based Bio sustain Ginnery, Dr RiyazHaider.
about 13 ginners and four co-operative unions have already invested in contract farming, and facilitated distribution to farmers of most of the record quantities of pesticide (3.8 million acrepacks) and seed (nearly 30 thousand MT) called for by the Tanzania Cotton Board (TCB) this season and coordinated by the Cotton Development Trust Fund (CDTF), a private-sector agent facilitating input procurement on behalf of farmers, ginners and the TCB. The investment and other actions of these 17 ginners and co-operatives have supported the lion's share of a record amount of acreage devoted to seed cotton production (estimated at nearly 1.4 million acres).
Despite the achievement, farmers groups says there is still a shortage of inputs. Last year, these same 17 ginners and co-operatives bought over 80 percent of the crop while still reporting significant under-utilization of their ginneries. This season, they have signed production contracts with nearly 4,000 farmer business groups (FBG) comprised of nearly 250,000 Tanzanian cotton farmers.
In contrast, about 18 ginners who have not invested in contract farming have signed production contracts with only about 1,000 FBGs representing less than 80,000 farmers.
Despite of not investing into the system, these ginners have distributed only a small fraction of the seed and pesticides made available to farmers this season.
Ginners supporting contract farming want the government to maintain an enabling environment for investment by maintaining the rules of contract farming as stipulated by the TCB as they feel that allowing "free rider" ginners, who have not invested in contract farming, will just kill the sector.
Some non-investing ginners want free riders to buy the crop from anyone, which encourages side buying from contracted farmers, and leads to grossly tip down the balance of scale.
Accordingly, if the ability of invested ginners to collect on loans extended to farmers is inhibited by government's licensing of "free-riding" non-investing ginners, then investing ginners cannot be held accountable for their input-related obligations.
Implementation of contract farming has been opposed to the Minister of Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operatives by a group of ginners, who have failed to invest in contract farming as stipulated by the TCB.
The 18 ginners that have not invested in contract farming this season purchased only about 17 percent of last year's crop. Seven of these 18 ginners are currently on the "default list" of the International Cotton Association.
"Inclusion on such list indicates that these ginners have defaulted on significant contracts with international cotton traders and that these ginners will not likely be able to access international cotton markets in selling the product of whatever level of seed cotton they might purchase if licensed," says.
Furthermore, continuing inclusion of these defaulting ginners in Tanzania's cotton sector may be detrimental to the sales efforts of Tanzania's non-defaulting ginners among international cotton buyers. Failure of government to act to uphold the rules of contract farming will result in significant hardship for Tanzanian farmers.
In his closing statements to Saturday's TCA meeting, Gachuma called upon ginners that have not yet invested in contract farming to meet their related obligations by May 15.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is planning to ask lawmakers for $500,000 to help it more quickly process the huge backlog of background checks for gun buyers that has swamped the agency after the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
The Denver Post reports that in November, it took an average of 23 minutes for a gun buyer in Colorado to get a criminal-background check. The wait time now has stretched to nearly seven days as the CBI struggles with the backlog of more than 11,000 applications.
CBI spokeswoman Susan Medina says the supplemental appropriation would be used for more staff and technology.
Meanwhile, state Rep. Claire Levy, a Boulder Democrat, has suggested that gun buyers pay a fee for the background checks.

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's annual fall wetland survey indicates good wetland conditions for duck hunting throughout most of the state.
Mike Szymanski, migratory game bird biologist, said the northwest has a record number of wetlands, while the rest of the state has wetland numbers similar to the 2003-12 average.
"Most areas are wetter than last year, with poorest conditions in the southern half of the state," Szymanski said.
North Dakota's two-day youth pheasant season is Oct. 5-6. Legally licensed residents and nonresidents ages 15 and younger may hunt roosters statewide.
Resident youth hunters, regardless of age, must possess a fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate and general game and habitat license. Nonresident youth hunters from states that provide a reciprocal licensing agreement for North Dakota residents qualify for North Dakota resident licenses. Otherwise, nonresident youth hunters must purchase a nonresident small game license.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department and North Dakota Bowhunters Association are sponsoring a National Archery in the Schools Program workshop in Bismarck for educators interested in teaching archery to students in grades 4-12.
The NASP workshop is scheduled Oct. 17-18 at the NISHU Archery Complex, 1409 Riverwood Drive. Participants will complete the workshop with basic or improved archery skills, and will possess the fundamentals to teach students.
While the fall fishing bite will eventually fade, efforts to monitor the presence of aquatic nuisance species in North Dakota waters continue.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department urges local entities and water recreationists to check for new aquatic nuisance species infestations when pulling and storing fishing piers, boat docks and lifts prior to ice up.
Even though results from this summer's survey indicated the bighorn sheep population in western North Dakota remains steady, State Game and Fish Department biologists are concerned about a significant decline in the number of adult rams.
Brett Wiedmann, big game biologist in Dickinson, said the July-August survey showed a minimum of 299 bighorn sheep, unchanged from last year and only 17 percent below 2008's record summer survey.
The 2013 fall wild turkey lottery has been held and more than 930 licenses remain in seven units. Unsuccessful applicants who applied online will have a refund issued directly to their credit card.
Beginning Sept. 27, all remaining licenses will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters are allowed a maximum of 15 licenses for the fall season.
North Dakota's second deer lottery has been held and individual results are available on the State Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov.
While slightly more than 1,000 antlerless deer licenses were still available after the second lottery, all of them are in units 3F1, 3F2 and 4F in the southwestern part of the state, where Game and Fish is receiving ongoing reports of white-tailed deer mortality caused by epizootic hemorrhagic disease.
Canada goose hunters are reminded the daily and possession limits in the Missouri River Zone differ from the rest of the state.
The daily bag limit for Canada geese in the Missouri River Zone is five, with 15 in possession. The remainder of the state has a daily bag of eight Canada geese, with 24 in possession. A hunter may take up to eight Canada geese in a day, provided no more than five come from the Missouri River Zone. Subsequently, a hunter may possess up to 24 Canada geese, provided not more than 15 come from the Missouri River Zone.
Whooping cranes are in the midst of their fall migration and sightings will increase as they make their way through North Dakota over the next several weeks. Anyone seeing these birds as they move through the state is asked to report sightings so the birds can be tracked.
Waterfowl hunters are reminded to do their part in preventing the spread of aquatic nuisance species into or within North Dakota.
Waterfowl hunters must remove plants and plant fragments from decoys, strings and anchors; remove plants seeds and plant fragments from waders and other equipment before leaving hunting areas; remove all water from decoys, boats, motors, trailers and other watercraft; and remove all aquatic plants from boats and trailers before leaving a marsh or lake. In addition, hunters are encouraged to brush their hunting dogs free of mud and seeds.
The deadline for submitting photos to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's annual Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest is Sept. 30.
The contest has categories for nongame and game species, as well as plants/insects. An overall winning photograph will be chosen, with the number of place winners in each category determined by the number of qualified entries.
Contest entries are limited to digital files submitted on disk or via email. Contestants are limited to no more than five entries. Photos must have been taken in North Dakota.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department advises hunters to be cautious with their dogs around water this time of year, due to potential health hazards associated with blue-green algae.
Dr. Dan Grove, wildlife veterinarian for the Game and Fish Department, said late summer and early fall offer prime conditions for blue-green algae growth in many state waters. Ingestion by a hunting dog while perhaps retrieving a bird during the early goose season, or just practicing retrieving, can lead to severe illness and potential death.

5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.
Some folks assert that Memorial Day weekend is the official beginning to grilling season.
While those folks are sitting indoors twiddling their spatulas until May, we'll be out stretching our toes in the freshly mowed grass and perfuming the air with eau de charcoal.
A burger is certainly an excellent, inaugural item to set aflame to, but the world is your (grilled) oyster; beef up your repertoire with Pat LaFrieda's favorite, grill-friendly cuts of meat.
LaFrieda is one of the stars of Food Network's "Meat Men" and the owner of Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors, a 90-year-old wholesale butchery that supplies more than 500 restaurants with every cut of meat you can imagine.
Five Picks Of Meat To Purchase for Grilling Season: Pat LaFrieda
On any given weekend when I'm grilling in my backyard, you'll find this particular cut of meat on my grill. I love to marinate mine in a mixture of equal parts brown sugar and balsamic vinegar with one part Worcestershire sauce. It's a marinade that will stick to the meat, won't fall off onto your grill and doesn't need to be put on the meat days ahead of time. You can marinate the steak a few hours before you light your grill. My kids love it, I love it, and I guarantee your grill will too!"
2. Colorado lamb burger
You place a lamb burger on the grill, add some feta cheese, a little yogurt sauce, a toasted bun and you've got a phenomenal burger on your hands."
3. Boneless country-style spare rib steaks
These steaks are taken from the ends of the loins. I prefer the fore-end of the ribs, ribs one through four, as they contain the best flavor. These spare rib steaks will quickly become your grill's best friend."
4. Sausage
If you're ordering sausages at your trusted butcher, you want to ask that 20-30% more fennel be added than what you would normally receive at your local supermarket.
For my grill, I love caramelizing peppers and onions first and separate from the meat. Then, I grill the sausage. While the sausage is grilling, toast that Italian bread you bought to go along with it. You've got to give your Italian bread some love too! Once ready, add everything together and you'll see smiles all around."
5. Chuck eye roll steak
t's also a very inexpensive cut of meat that you and your family can enjoy this upcoming grilling season. All you need to prepare is a little salt prior to placing on the grill, and a little pepper once it comes off."
Is there someone you'd like to see in the hot seat? Let us know in the comments below and if we agree, we'll do our best to chase 'em down.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Biglou3212 Versatile Excellent & dependable. Eazy & quick change and will hold up to 3 resistance bands. Constructed well! December 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jtpclear Works as expected I have the single quick change handle and this woks the same. I noticed someone else commenting that the bands will pop out. I have not had this happen with this brand but did with another one when the band was pulled too far. Regardless, this allows me to apply more load to my movements. February 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Big MAC Great grip for Big hands!! I have used my handles and two 100 lb bands for nearly a year. While being a very large man with hands to match the grips of the handles are very roomy. February 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by sam very unsafe and dangerous I just bought the triple handle and I loved using yet right away until one of the handle sapped up while in full extension anchored on a door.the rubber went off the handle and hit me so hard on the chest that I got bruised. I thought I didn't secure well.So next day I tried it again making sure that everything was in place and locked. Again the latch in the handle opened and the rubber hit me hard on the chest that I fell down. I hit my head and back.... there is definitively a big problem with the locking mechanism and as is this is very dangerous.I intend to write the company a letter before anybody else gets seriously injured.I don't know if this handle was defective or it is a common problem.But as it stands for now, this seems extremely dangerous and I would not recommend Anybody buying it.Be careful... September 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Christopher Great handles great set These are a great set of resistance bands and handles I highly recommend them for the affordability, the interchangeability, and the portability. September 6, 2013

A misdemeanor assault and battery charge has been dropped against a Northampton County sheriff's investigator who was charged while working security at a nightclub.
The lawyer for Det. Lynette Clements told The Daily Herald of Roanoke Rapids that the charge against the officer was dropped last week.
Attorney Jamal Summey says Clements returned to her job at the sheriff's office after she was cleared. She was on leave while the charge was pending.
Summey says Clements was falsely accused of assault by a woman she was trying to kick out of the nightclub.

Or, easter egg collecting is!
Easter Egg Packs and Boxes are now up in the shop. I've bosted the rates of Evil Eggs in them (at the expense of 1-stars)
The Free Daily Lotto now gives TWO cards, one of which is an easter egg (NOTE - look for it under Recomended, it won't actually appear under 'Lottos' now that it's giving out two cards... I guess the game defines lottos as things that only give out one card...)
At 6 AM EST (server time) treasure battles will be turned to 100%.
AND I suppose you'd like to see the Alternate Art EX Marchare that is the top prize?

There's some absorbing and provocative reading in Allergic Living's new Spring 2007 issue. A good way, we thought, to kick off a new publishing season.
In the article "Fear of Food," we start with an issue that some of you living with food allergies will recognize: the sudden fear of even "safe" foods. It's a topic I'd discussed over the better part of a year with contributing writer Jennifer Van Evra. She shares my interest in the psychological effects of food allergy, and of trying to make life with allergies "livable".
We decided to investigate what it was about anaphylaxis that left the allergic (or their parents) in a state of fear of many foods – even ones that had never been implicated in a reaction. Why would this happen? And, could it be brought under control?
Van Evra came to the topic with her own food fear experience. The year was 1996, and she'd been granted an internship at Mother Jones magazine in San Francisco. She knew she was at risk of anaphylaxis to tree nuts, peanuts and shellfish, and avoided them.
But just before she was to move from Vancouver, "I started having these random food reactions. I was eating things that most definitely did not have peanuts or nuts or shellfish in them, and I just couldn't figure out what I was reacting to." She became frightened of every bite.
She moved to find herself "in this big American city, where I didn't know a soul." In dread of a major reaction on her own, "I was more scared than I've ever been in my life." Fortunately, Van Evra's situation resolved when an allergist determined the foods that were causing her weeks of waking up with a racing heart, swollen face and difficulty breathing. He found she was reacting to wine, tomatoes and eggs (though not anaphylaxing as such). With those foods and wine out of her diet, her reactions – and her fears – subsided.
The writer could certainly relate to the allergic subjects in "Afraid of Food" and their struggles with the psychological effects. "This just never gets talked about," says Van Evra.
In 20 years since she was first diagnosed, "never once has an allergist said, 'Are you OK?' What's interesting is that between allergic people, we take care of the psychological side with each other. That's why it's so important that we talk to other people with allergies."
What is eye-opening in the article, is that the psychological reactions can be so profound in some people that experts call them symptoms of post-traumatic stress. "It makes perfect sense," says Van Evra. "Anaphylaxis is traumatic."
Psychology, it seems, also affects those with asthma. Associate Editor Claire Gagné delves into the facts behind the crisis in asthma control in her article – "Running on Empty". A majority of asthmatics has become so resistant to the notion of drug taking, or so confused by the term "corticosteroid" that they are shunning perfectly safe controller drugs and giving up exercise and sports. Instead they've settled for shortness of breath, flare-ups and missing out in life.
As Gagné finds, it doesn't have to be this way. There is clearly a crisis, not just in control, but in the education of asthmatics. Given the numbers of ER visits for asthma – 73,000 last year in Ontario alone – it is time for Health Canada and the provincial health ministries to give asthma education much higher priority.
The psychology of allergic disease is the real food for thought in this issue, but there's plenty more. We have a handy field guide to the trees that make you sneeze in spring, a look at celiac in kids, great "green" flooring advice, and even considerations to make that summer wedding reaction-free. Enjoy the spring and the issue. And if you're asthmatic – get a prescription, take the medication – and do get outside.

There have been intermittent calls to the government to revisit the privatised enterprises with a view to ensuring that the new owners had indeed fulfilled what was agreed during the change of ownership.
This has been so after it was noticed that some of the new owners had reneged on some of the critical clauses of the transfer agreements, such as failing to pay up agreed sums of money or to ensure the expected revival measures are implemented.
For it will be recalled that the main objective of the privatisation of most of the 400+ parastatal organisations was to give them a new lease of life, especially those that were critical to the lives of the general public.
Most were ailing from lack of capital, technology, overstaffing and general mismanagement. Only a handful then paid dividends to the Treasury Registrar, while most drained government coffers through subsidies.
Important as some of them were, it would have been impossible for the government to marshal the needed resources to turn them around on its own.
While some just needed infusion of working capital to recover and continue offering the much-needed goods and services, quite a good number of them needed deep restructuring and technology change to resume operations.
Apparently many of these enterprises served a large consumer base and their inability to operate would have dealt a debilitating blow to the country and its economy.
It is encouraging that many found willing buyers or partners, delivering success stories such as those of beer, cigarettes and cement to name but a few.
The government now enjoys dividends from these entities, instead of the persistent headaches of pouring money annually with little or no returns. A recent report by the ministry of Trade and Industries shows that 42 privatised firms have been performing well, boosting jobs and revenue to the government.
But it is also true that some of the enterprises have either remained dormant or had the functions changed unilaterally, after privatisation.
Indeed the same report cites 15 firms being operational, but doing poorly. Some of the premises of these enterprises have been turned into godowns, while others have been abandoned with plant and machinery left to rust or cannibalised.
Government ministers, especially those on the Trade and Industry docket have on several occasions promised to follow up the matter and take action against those who have violated the conditions in the contract they signed with the government.
Our interest has been drawn to the warning by the Livestock Development and Fisheries minister Dr Mathayo David Mathayo that the government will revoke the right of occupancy of privatised ranches whose new owners failed to develop them.
He gave the warning when addressing livestock keepers from the eastern zone, following reports that some investors have failed to develop the privatised ranches, to the extent that some of them have been invaded by farmers who were conducting agricultural activities in them.
Hopefully, the minister will act on his promise, showing the way to his colleagues in the other ministries who have allowed the public assets to be mismanaged. The public deserves a proper account of these assets.

Learning Styles
Learning style is the way individuals concentrate on, absorb, and retain new or difficult information or skills. It is not the materials, or strategies that people use to learn: those are the resources that complement each person's style. Style comprises a combination of environmental, emotional, sociological, physical, and psychological elements that permit individuals to receive, store and use knowledge or abilities.
Exceptional Children, Vol. 49, No. 6, April 1983
Every student has a unique learning style. According to Jody Whelden, a psychotherapist, counselor and teacher, "Each learning style is like an instrument in an orchestra. Students need to know what instrument is theirs and how they fit into the orchestra."
Each student learns differently, at a different rate, using different learning styles. Everyone has a learning style. Our style of learning, if accommodated, can result in improved attitudes toward learning and an increase in academic achievement. By identifying your learning style, you will identify how you learn best. Learning styles do not reflect levels of achievement or academic ability. No one style is better than the other.
Researchers have done experiments with at least 21 ELEMENTS OF LEARNING STYLE. They have found that most people respond strongly to between six and fourteen elements.
The element chart indicates perceptual strengths as being tactile/kinesthetic, visual or auditory learners. test. After you take the test, score it and print your score so you can complete your assignment.
By becoming familiar with learning style theory, you will be able to recognize your students' style and you will be able to make suggestions on how they can use that strength to help them study. Be sure to look at the suggestions.

Have you taken even an introductory course in psychology? If you have, then you have probably taken a personality test. There are several personality models of varying usefulness and accuracy. The personality system in the Keirsey Sorter is based on Jung's theory of personality type. It was converted into a practical instrument by Myers and Briggs and is used extensively in education and career counseling. This test attempts to identify a person's personality "type." Personality influences the preferred approaches to acquiring and integrating new information. Take the personality test. The test measures extroversion versus introversion, sensing versus intuition, thinking versus feeling, and judging versus perception. There are 16 different personality types.
Knowing your learning style preferences and your personality type can help you plan for activities that take advantage of your natural skills and inclinations. It will help you to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses and to capitalize on the strengths and to compensate for the weaknesses. It will also help you become a better tutor.

The heroes came to a desert, so Ash sends his Pokémon to play in the sand. Following him, Brock and Dawn send their own Pokémon as well. Suddenly, the ground shakes and something emerges from the sand - a Hippowdon. Pachirisu sees its moth and accidentally falls in it and the Hippowdon closes the mouth. The heroes go to get it, but the Hippowdon digs. The Pokémon spot Hippowdon emerged somewhere else, so the heroes call their Pokémon back. Piplup and Pikachu try to warn Pachirisu to get out while she can, but she is stck in one of its holes and is dragged again.
Team Rocket dig a hole for the twerps, but the sand causes the hole to be filled. The Hippowdon dug out and blows them using sand. The heroes come, but Hippowdon is not hurt by Pachirisu's Discharge or Pikachu's Thunderbolt, as it is a Ground-type. The Hippowdon digs again and the heroes go to chase it. Team Rocket saw this and plan to get it and use it to get Pikachu. As they search, the heroes spot a Hippopotas, who greets Pikachu, leading them to believe that is the same one who got separated, but with their help, got back with its family. The Hippowdon emerges, but digs again.
The heroes hear Hippopotas' sad voice and think it misses to be with Hippowodon. Ash goes to help him again and places it on his head. Team Rocket scout and see the Hippowdon and James launches a net, capturing it. They go to get it, but it is too heavy. The heroes come and see them and tell what they need to do. The ground shakes and a machine emerges, in a form of a Rhydon. Well known members of Team Rocket emerge: Cassidy and Butch. Cassidy and Butch are here (from orders of Dr. Namba) to get the Hippowdon. Jessie tells them they are the ones sent to Sinnoh to investigate, but Cassidy and Butch have no heard of such fact. They even got the machine from Dr. Namba to get the Hippowdon. Ash sends Turtwig, who cuts the net using Razor Leaf. This causes Hippowdon to dig and go out of the area.
Everyone goes to get Hippowdon - Butch and Cassidy for Dr. Namba, the heroes to free Pachirisu and Jessie and James to get their reputation back. The heroes heard Hippowdon and run towards it. Pachirisu comes out of one of its holes and sees the Rhydon vehicle. Cassidy goes to get it, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt negates it. However, this does not cause any damage to the vehicle itself. Seeing there are no options, the heroes run with Hippowdon. Suddenly, everyone falls in a giant hole. It was dug out by Jessie, Meowth and James, who appear in the balloon. They get the Hippwodon and pull it, though Ash gets its leg. Dawn and Brock do the same, though Cassidy and Butch launch a horn to destroy the balloon, causing them to blast off. Everyone else falls in the sand safely, though Butch and Cassidy do not give up so easily and go to get Hippowdon. The heroes protect it, but get attacked by the robot arm, though Hippowdon goes away.
The machine gets Hippowdon, but another machine destroys the robot arm, one made by Jessie, Meowth and James. The robots fight, so the heroes take advantage of it and run away. Jessie fires the tail of the robot, but Cassidy's robot is unharmed. However, Cassidy fires the horn of the robot and pierces Jessie's robot, causing an explosion. Everyone is blown away, but Pachirisu is out of Hippowdon's holes. Cassidy and Butch go to get Hippowdon, but get hit by its Hyper Beam, destroying the robot. Butch sends Shuckle and Cassidy Granbull, though Jessie and James want to fight them, so Jessie sends Seviper to push Granbull away. James sends Carnivine as assistance. Granbull goes to use Flamethrower, but Seviper wraps it. Still, Granbull bites Seviper, so Seviper bites it. Carnivine uses Bullet Seed on Shuckle, so Shuckle retaliates using Sludge Bomb, but hits Hippowdon instead. Pikachu electrocutes Shuckle and Piplup uses BubbleBeam, knocking Carnivine out.
Hippowdon charges and hits Carnivine and Shuckle. Hippopotas yawns and puts every member of Team Rocket to sleep, then pushes them away using Sandstorm and Hippowdon blasts them off using Hyper Beam. The Hippopotas and Hippowdon re-unite, as Hippowdon is Hippopotas' mother. The heroes are glad everything is in order. Meanwhile, Team Rocket argue. Butch and Cassidy come out from the sand and Cassidy receives a call from Dr. Umba, to which Dr. Namba corrects the name.

- Pokémon senryū: あさひるばん たべるかねるか ゴンベかな Asa hiru ban, taberu kaneru ka, Gonbe kana? "Morning, noon, and night, still it's eating all the while, could it be Gonbe?"
- This is the first and only appearance of Butch and Cassidy in the Sinnoh region.
- This episode marks the final time Professor Oak composes a Pokémon senryū at the end of his lecture. In future episodes, he will instead set a multiple choice question for the viewer. He would only return composing senryū at the start of the Best Wishes series.
- This is the last episode to feature a cold opening.
- It is also one of the few episodes in which Jessie's Wobbuffet didn't appear.
- Ash's Gligar has been added to the ending theme to reflect the events of the previous episode.
- Butch and Cassidy now have a new motto. Once again, it is a variation on Jessie and James's motto, this time mimicking their Sinnoh motto.
- The dub name of this episode comes from the term "Sleight of hand".
- When the Rhyhorn attacks Jessie and James' air balloon, its eyeballs pop out and it smiles.
- Despite Ash saying that Hippowdon is Hippopotas's mother, Hippowdon's coloration is for male.
Pikachu electrocuted Shuckle, even if it is a Rock-type Pokémon.

Tropical Japan: Japan's Paradise Lost
Okinawa's remote Yaeyama Islands promote sustainable tourism with new airport and hotels in March 2013.
February 26, 2013, New York, NY: Okinawa, the southernmost Japanese archipelago, will become even more of a cultural draw to global travelers in March 2013. Renovated Ishigaki Airport will reopen on March 7, welcoming international adventure seekers and cultural explorers to the surrounding Yayeyama Islands, where Okinawa's tradition and culture still reign supreme. Near the airport is the new luxury accommodation, JUSANDI (pronounced yusandi), offering 5 suite villas on a private beach adjacent to the famous Blue Cave.
Located about an hour's flight from Okinawa's main island and 1,240 miles from Tokyo, the 32 Yaeyama islands are Japan's paradise lost, rich with traditional Ryukyu culture, the original kingdom of Okinawa that ended only in the 19th century. The area is one of world's top scuba-diving spots, thanks to crystal-clear waters and the atoll that surrounds Okinawa. On the east side of Ishigaki is the world's largest blue coral leaves, a rare habitat of giant manta rays, and a brilliant starry night sky that showcases over 86 constellations out of the total of 88. Even the Southern Cross comes into view from January through June. The islands also boast mangrove habitats, where visitors can join unique kayaking tours that travel through natural mangrove forests.
In order to foster access to magnificent rich nature without disturbing the environment's natural assets, development of the Yaeyamas focuses on eco-tourism and eco-friendly structures. Even the new Ishigaki Airport is designed to protect the local ecology and promote sustainable tourism on the islands. Thanks to their remote location, all Yaeyama islands boast most of Okinawa's time-honored traditions, including traditional architecture, music, pottery, and a local cuisine that promotes longevity, which together inspire a new generation of artists.
In the second decade of the 21st century, visitors to the Yaeyama Islands will appreciate the efforts to balance international tourism with Okinawa's natural beauty and unique culture that has been cultivated over the centuries. Best of all, Ishigaki's new airport gives direct access from all major cities in Japan, including two international airports in Tokyo, giving greater opportunity for travelers to experience this hidden and well-preserved Okinawan paradise.

BERLIN (AP) - German bishops have agreed that Roman Catholic-run hospitals should be allowed to prescribe the morning-after pill to rape victims to prevent conception.
The German Bishops Conference issued the ruling at a regular meeting Thursday in the western city of Trier. But it said Catholic hospitals still can't prescribe drugs that would lead to the death of an embryo.
The German church was under pressure to clarify its stance after a recent case in which two Catholic hospitals in Cologne turned away a rape victim because of concerns over the pill. Cologne's archbishop, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, said last month that the church was "deeply ashamed by this incident because it goes against our Christian mission."

Clay Simons
this wiki
Clayton "Clay" Simons, also known as Crowdog or Big Clay, is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a major character and a friend in The Lost and Damned.
Clay is a Lieutenant and The Road Captain of The Lost MC. As the Road Captain of the Lost MC, he will deliver bikes to his fellow club members including Johnny Klebitz, who is able to call him via his cellphone whenever he needs a bike. He helps Johnny in many missions, and one of four surviving members of The Lost MC's Alderney chapter, along with Johnny Klebitz, Angus Martin, and Terry Thorpe.
The Lost and Damned
Clay is seen most of the time with Terry Thorpe. Clay helps Johnny Klebitz and The Lost MC during most of the game, like taking back Billy's Revenant and attacking The Angels of Death at their Clubhouse. When Johnny and Jim stole some AOD bikes, they can call Clay and Terry in order to help them against some AOD bikers. After Billy was arrested, Clay remains loyal to Johnny and helped him kill Brian Jeremy's chapter. After Brian's death, Clay and Terry played a small role during the game and can be called for backup in several missions. When Ray sent hitmen to kill Johnny and Jim, Clay and Terry can be called to plan an ambush along with Johnny to kill the hitmen. When Billy wanted to to talk with the feds, Stubbs connected with Clay and Terry, who got firepower to break into the jail, who then helped Johnny through the prison, who killed Billy. When they came back to the Lost MC Clubhouse, as they saw the clubhouse was trashed by Ray Boccino's men, they burned it down, to "put it out of its misery". Clay, Terry, Johnny and Angus looked at their burning clubhouse, as the last survivors of The Lost's Alderney City chapter (Acter district of Alderney City specifically).

- Lycan (after Collector's Item)
- Double T (after Shifting Weight)
- Hakuchou (after completing 12 races)
- Bati 800 (after completing Angus' Bike Thefts)
- Unlike most of the other characters from the game, he does not have an entry in the LCPD database. This means it is impossible to know his exact age, as the game contains no concrete record of his birth year. However, at one point, Clay makes reference to his time guarding the U.S. Embassy in Saigon shortly before the city fell to North Vietnamese forces in 1975. This makes Clay 51 years old at the youngest, as he couldn't have been born later than 1957 to have been actively serving in the United States military in 1975, and thus the oldest ranked member of The Lost Brotherhood.
- If you call Clay to hang out, and then call Terry for use of his gun van, you will only hangout with Clay. (And Jim before Was It Worth It?).
- Even though he yells a lot, he is a very quiet person, and usually just "leaves the politicking to you boys". He is fiercely loyal to Johnny Klebitz however, and sides with him following Billy's arrest and the resulting schism.
- Clay is clearly interested in women; he likes to spend time with girls and often speaks about this during friend activities. He thinks that women are the best thing in the world and when Johnny calls him for a show, he states that he "can take some time off the women to see a brother". He also often talks about how ladies love his "gift", leading Terry to joke that said "gift" is herpes. Clay also expresses sadness that one girl he's particularly fond of is a member of the Angels of Death.
- Clay is always seen with Terry Thorpe, whether it's back-up or friend activities, much like Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
- Clay likes to smoke marijuana and cigars, though he seemingly always forgets his cigars when he leaves home. He also makes frequent references to "tweaking", a slang term for the peak of a methamphetamine high.
- Clay and Jim are the only non-Caucasian members of the Lost. It is interesting to note that on his concept art, he looks somewhat Caucasian. Perhaps it was a Beta model.
- Clay was possibly added to The Lost and Damned as an afterthought, considering he has no speaking roles in cutscenes and does not have any LCPD police database information.
- Despite the fact that he is likely older than Jim (Clay is probably 51 or older, Jim is 45), Clay calls Jim "old man", although this is likely just sarcasm.
- Throughout the events of the game a bottom rocker (semi-circular patch) can be seen on the back of Clay's jacket bearing the word 'Liberty' even though he is a member of the Lost MC's Alderney chapter. The reason for this is never explained. Clay is the only member of the Alderney chapter who openly wears a bottom rocker or territory patch, oddly claiming Liberty rather than Alderney.
- Clay's is one of the four shortest voicemails in the GTA IV era. (This is Clay's phone. Leave your details.), the other three would be Little Jacob's (Yeah, I'm busy. Call me back.), Phil Bell's (This is Phil B. Leave a message.) and Rocco Pelosi's (Yo, it's the Rock. Leave a message).

The Kai Xin vessel caught fire off the coast of Antarctica on Wednesday and its 97 crew members were rescued by a Norwegian ship. Then it began to drift unmanned, zigzagging dangerously close to sharp glaciers.
After being forced to cancel an earlier flight because of fog, a Chilean air force Twin Otter plane flew Friday over the Bransfield Strait in the Antarctic peninsula.
"The ship continues to burn and is drifting to the southeast sector, some 14 miles from the 'Arturo Prat' naval base," the air force said in a statement. "It is being monitored constantly by several satellite systems of the maritime search and rescue service within Chile's navy."
Capt. Juan Marcelo Villegas, maritime governor for Chile's portion of Antarctica said a Panamanian-flagged Chinese ship, Skyfrost, was traveling toward the Kai Xin to help tow it to harbor before it crashes into the glaciers and causes an oil spill.
"We had to pressure the Skyfrost captain to help out. I guess because all the crew had already been rescued, he felt the burning ship was no longer important," Villegas told The Associated Press. He said authorities pressured Skyfrost to help out "because the Atlantic treaty says if you don't do anything to avoid contamination it will lead to fines.
Villegas said the Skyfrost captain was planning to send a smaller boat soon to handle the towing. A Chilean navy tugboat, Lautaro, was also on its way to help tow the disabled ship, and expected to arrive in the area on Sunday.
The Kai Xin left port in Uruguay. Chilean officials say they don't know how much fuel it's carrying but they have been working to prevent an environmental disaster.
The 104-meter (341-foot) Chinese vessel was built in 1990, according to the website of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
The Kai Xin is operated by Shanghai Kaichuang Marine International Co., a company that specializes in deep-sea fishing, fisheries products and processing. The ship uses pelagic, or midwater trawling for fishing and can sail in loose pack ice.
Shanghai Kaichuang said in a statement posted Thursday that the fire occurred while the ship was fishing and that the company will investigate the cause of the accident and the extent of the damage before releasing more details.
