Removing a large patch lawn seems like a major hassle, but it's actually quite easy. One of the cheapest and least backbreaking ways to do it is to sheet mulch (also known as composting) your lawn. I recently did this with a front yard full of Bermuda grass (and weeds) and although it does take a weekend of labor, you end up with a blank palate ready to be planted with natives, edibles, drought tolerant perennials, or whatever you like. You can also use this method to suppress weeds in a particularly tough spot.
You'll need: shovels, pitchforks, gloves, mulch, cardboard, and a cold frosty one for when you're done.
Get Your Stuff and Dig a Ditch
Start by digging a sixteen- to eighteen-inch wide and a foot deep trench around the perimeter of the lawn, along the area that borders sidewalk or driveway. This is so the mulch you eventually put on top won't spill out. You can toss the clumps of grass you dig up into the middle of your lawn, to be covered and composted.
If you already know you are going to be planting something large, like a tree or large woody bush, you might want to get it in the ground before the next cardboard step. It isn't necessary, but will make life easier in the future.
Next, get enough cardboard so that you can cover the entire area so that the pieces are overlapping by at least about a foot. It is key that the pieces overlap; weeds and some lawn, especially the tough stuff like Bermuda grass, will grow through cracks and crevices, even with layers and layers of mulch on top. (This has been clearly evidenced by the oxalis in my front yard.) A great place to get large pieces of free cardboard is from furniture and appliance stores, bike stores (they use them to ship frames), or from friends that have recently moved. The larger pieces the better, as it goes much faster. Make sure to remove all tape and staples.
After you've overlapped your cardboard, wet the cardboard. This helps break down the cardboard and makes it more pliable. You can also add a layer of compost to enrich the soil.
Now you're going to cover the cardboard with four to six inches of mulch. This is a lot of mulch, so I wouldn't even think about buying it in bags from the garden store. Depending on the size of the area you are covering, you'll likely need a few cubic yards. Chipped tree prunings make ideal mulch since many of the pieces are uniform in size, meaning the top layer will look good. Many tree companies will deliver wood chips for free, so start calling around and ask if there are trees being felled in your neighborhood. I had five yards of mulch delivered to my front yard and it was free. Alternatively, check out transfer stations and other spots that sell wood chips and mulch in bulk; if your city fells trees, they also often have piles of mulch for the taking.
The cardboard underneath your mulch will biodegrade in a few months, but you don't need to wait that long to plant. When you're ready to start adding plants to your yard, spread the mulch aside, cut through the cardboard with a razor, and start digging. When you've planted your plant, you can then cover the surrounding areas with the mulch, making sure to leave enough space around the crown of the plant for circulation.
Other ways to get rid of the lawn include using sod cutters, digging it up by hand, and rototillers, but these methods seem to require more labor and machinery. One of the benefits of the mulch method is that mulch helps retain moisture in the soil so your new plants will need less water, the soil underneath will improve, and earthworms, who help break up the soil and add nutrients to the soil, love it underneath there.
Total cost of mulching the lawn can be free or at least under one hundred bucks. And you'll save money by not having to pay someone to mow the lawn and on your water bills. Now it's time to enjoy that beer.

When the Italian specialist took over as Chelsea manager, nobody expected swift results. Many experts claimed that the team lacks spirit and confidence, and they were right. After the defending champions finished on eyebrow-raising 10th position last season, it was obvious – Conte had a lot of work to do to get The Blues up and running again. With rumors during the summer that Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and other star players might abandon the sinking Chelsea side, it hardly could get any worse. Specialists claimed that a finish in top 4 would be an excellent result for the recovering London side.
Now its December and Chelsea are top of the table, 6 points clear from the 2nd place Liverpool with an astonishing 11-game win streak still alive. Let's see how it all turned out this way.
Start of the Season
Chelsea started the season fresh and strong. The first fixture against West Ham was crucial. The slight formation twitches from Conte looked spot on. Conte's 4-1-4-1 formation looked relatively good. The last minute goal from Diego Costa secured the first victory in the league for Conte. But the Italian tactician kept repeating "we have a lot of work to do, we can improve a lot".
The summer signing from Leicester, N'Golo Kante, was crucial for Chelsea just like he was for Leicester. Nevertheless, Chelsea lacked the ability to kill games. Costa, Hazard and Willian were having trouble finishing chances, thus winning with a difference of a single goal and keeping the tension right until the final whistle.
That game against Arsenal
The turning point of the title race for Chelsea was the London derby. The Blues defense cracked earlier due to poor display against Liverpool and lack of confidence and control in defense. But this game shed light on the situation in the team. The Gunners started the game very confident and totally dominated The Blues in the first half with Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott scoring within the first 15 minutes, and Mesut Ozil scoring the 3rd goal in the 40th minute.
Chelsea's last defeat to Arsenal in the league was back in 2011/12 season.
The 3-4-3 salvation
After the defeat to Arsenal Antonio Conte himself admitted that he had a few sleepless nights. Chelsea dropped down the Premier League table and were 8 points away from the leaders Manchester City. The 3-time Seria A winner, spent a massive amount of time tactically upgrading his team. He decided to switch to 3 defender system. Conte had a lot of success with the 3-5-2 formation back in Juventus. In the beginning of the season Conte gave the team a chance to show what they can do. For him that was not enough. After analyzing every player he had, Conte decided to go with the 3-4-3 formation. Summer signing Marcos Alonso and Nigeria international Victor Moses made the first team in wing-back positions. David Luiz, who was criticized massively for his lack of discipline made the center of the back 3 with Garry Cahill and Cesar Azpiliqueta alongside him.
That was the turning point for the team, for the players, for the fans and critics all over the world. Because the results that followed are truly amazing. Chelsea won every single Premier League game since the formation switch. The Blues managed to score 25 goals and concede just 2 over the course of 11 games. This noticeable win streak includes a 3-0 victory against the champions Leicester City, 4-0 victory against Manchester United, and a 5-0 destruction of Everton.
Antonio Conte has already set a new club record by registering an 11th consecutive league win within the same season for the first time.
At the beginning of the season the Italian manager had a team with low confidence,
a returned defender without any discipline (David Luiz) and a last minute transfer, whom many branded as a panic buy (Marcos Alonso). Now The Blues have celebrated Christmas on top of the table and statistics have something to say about that. Every time Chelsea topped the Premier League table at Christmas, they went on to win the league.
The Bournemouth test.
This is a serious test for Chelsea. The team's main striker Diego Costa who has bagged in 13 goals in the league so far this season is disqualified. So is the Frenchman N'Golo Kante, who has been vital for the team's midfield. Its time for other players to step up their game and replace their teammates. The £33.m signing from Olympique Marseille, Michy Batshuayi, has his chance to show his worth. Conte did not risk playing the young Belgian, as he struggles to adapt the physical side of Premier League. "Michy is working very well, we must have patience with him, to help him," said the 47-year-old manager. Since breaking this winning formation can be costly, this might be the right time for the Belgian striker to show what he can do.
If Chelsea manages to overcome the barrier of Bournemouth, Conte's boys will win their 12th game in a row and close in on Arsenal's 13 game win streak record set in 2002.

Young, Dutch and proud to be Samoan -
Introducing Your WSAMOA Webmaster
SamoaObserver - Savea Sano Malifa - 04-07-2008.
When my grandma told us stories about Samoa, I was always fascinated by them, he says. Samoa was this small island that just became special to me.
Young Maurice van Vliet is Dutch, confident, out-going, and uniquely Samoan.
He has a full-blooded Samoan grandmother and an undeniably Samoan tattoo on his right shoulder to prove it.
Whats more, he has a website called www.wsamoa.ws designed to canvass everything and anything Samoan he could find and share them with the world.
Thats how proud of his Samoan roots this young chap is.
Two weeks ago Maurice, 25, and his 80-year-old grandmother Paese Susuga arrived in Apia, from Holland.
Originally from Lufilufi, Paese Susuga has been living in the Dutch city of Wageningen with Maurices family for several years.
Its one of those love stories you think are found only in movies.
Some 55 years ago, a Dutch steamer arrived in Apia Harbour and a bunch of eager, sea-weary seaman strolled ashore.
One of them was named Friedo van Vliet, 30. He was soon to find that fate was aiming to change his life forever.
It happened instantly and irresistibly. When he and Pesega Susuga she was 25 at the time - met somewhere in Apia, somehow sparks flew and the world stopped as their fate was inexorably sealed.
According to Maurice, his smitten grandfather Frieda abandoned ship, said goodbye to his mates, and he and Pesega later married in Samoa. They remained here for some years and had a son they named John. When John was six, the family moved to Holland.
John van Vliet grew up and married Caroline Schilder. They have three children Jeanna, 28, Maurice, and Tim, 18.
When grandfather Friedo passed away, his wife Pesega remained in Holland. She has been back to Samoa since a couple of times.
Maurice admits he does not know much about grandfather Friedo since he passed away when he was only two. So it was his grandmother who fed his young, inquisitive mind with stories about Samoa.
When my grandma told us stories about Samoa, I was always fascinated by them, he says.
Samoa was this small island that just became special to me.
But other than his grandmother, he had not met another Samoan until he went on a trip to Germany when he was about ten.
That was when I first saw other Samoans, he explains. They were standing by a Samoan display at a cultural festival there. From then on I wanted to come to Samoa.
When Maurice finally came to Samoa for the first time in 1996, he loved the place immediately especially its friendly people, he says. It was during that time that he had his tattoo done on his shoulder to remind me of Samoa.
He says when he pulled up his sleeve to show off his tattoo to his friends, he enjoyed telling them he was Samoan.
This time when his grandmother wanted to come back for a visit, he volunteered to accompany her over.
She needs a wheelchair to get in and out of the plane, he explains. Thats where I can help.
Besides, as a student doing his last year of a Pre-masters course in agricultural business and management at Laranstein University, he is using his four weeks in Samoa to conduct research into private label in the Pacific for his thesis.
While in Apia, Maurice has met with Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi. They discussed current issues of importance which he is planning to put on his website.
For instance, he says that on the RHD debate, Tuilaepa did not elaborate. Instead, he said he was aware about other peoples expressed views on the matter and that was their right.
I have my own opinion about it too, the PM reportedly said.
On Manu Samoa, Tuilaepa is said to have asked the public to be patient, and give management a chance.
Its a new team so they need to play more games to prepare themselves, Tuilaepa reportedly advised. The coach too is new so he needs everyones support.
On Samoas investment climate for international business, Tuilaepa is said to have reminded that Samoa was a friendly country with potential opportunities that could be exploited.
As for internet business potential in Samoa, Maurice was told that a fiber cable being laid between Samoa and Hawaii would begin operating next year.
This will make internet communication faster and cheaper, he was advised.
Two years ago Maurice founded his website www.wsamoa.ws and since then it has become very popular, he says.
I am very proud of it. It is very popular. It gets about 2,500 hits a day with people debating and discussing issues in it.
Maurice is asking Samoan organizations and churches to send him any information and press releases he can pout on the website.
He and his grandmother are returning to Holland on 1 July.

The caliber 3135 first hit the market in 1988. It is a Certified Chronometer with 31 jewels, and is adjusted for five positions and temperature. The 3135 has approximately 48 hour power reserve, however, some specs listings online have been known to incorrectly round this number up to 50 hours.
- For an awesome exploded view of the 3135, view this post by Chonometrie.
Please share your experience with the Rolex caliber 3135 in the comments below…
10 Comments Hide Comments
Most popular Rolex movement.
Are they still using this movement in Rolex watches?
Is the gear red or purple?
If you don't own the watch then you will never understand why the price of this movement is very expensive, but for those that are the Real Rolex owners first of all congrats on your success, rewarding yourself after achieving 80% of your life goals is a great thing, but sometimes its not as easy as it sounds most of the purchases loose their value by 50% the minute you swipe that black AMEX card but not in this case there are only few items in the world I could say that about. Rolex is a brand, a brand that defines luxury, quality and durability at its best and that's what 3135 movement provides, there has been plenty of days in my life where I have hit, dropped, dented, scratched my 116610 submariner on many of my adventures, Venice beach walks, bike rides or Hollywood hills hiking and each of those times once I arrive home run my watch under some warm water use a little hand soap a toothbrush to clean off the sand or the dirt I sit down and look at it with zero regrets or buyers remorse, you cant say that about most items the security and comfort never leaves you since the minute you put it on your wrist on that day you build your own story and folks it only gets better and better.
Cheers America
Chris Cartel
While I appreciate the craftsmanship going into a beautifully finished movement as much as the next watch enthusiast, no amount of engraving can be a substitute for accuracy and reliability.

This is a RUSH transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor," September 9, 2016. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
Watch "The O'Reilly Factor" weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET!
O'REILLY: "Back of the Book" segment wanted tonight, The Factor news of the day. We begin with North Korea conducting its fifth underground nuke test last night. That, of course, against international law but North Korea doesn't care. The tests shook the earth at a 5.3 magnitude. And was the most powerful nuclear exposition North Korea has ever undertaken. Condemnation came quickly. President Obama saying, quote, "As commander- in-chief, I have a responsibility to safeguard the American people and ensure the United States is leading the international community in responding to this threat."
Does anyone believe Mr. Obama will respond to the threat in a meaningful way? Anyone? This evening, I do not believe the North Koreans are afraid.
Back home, libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson still trying to recover from a TV interview where he did not know what Aleppo was.
I was thinking acronym when he said Aleppo. And guilty. No excuse whatsoever. If it is kissing my chances goodbye, so be it. But I have always been served really well by telling the truth. And you tell the truth, and you can get your way through things.
O'REILLY: Well, sadly, Governor, so be it. You didn't have a chance in the first place. And now your profile is damaged beyond repair. At least in this campaign. For the record, I think the Governor is a good man. Misguided in some areas, but I appreciate his public service. But he is certainly not ready to run this country.
And finally another NFL player refusing to stand during the national anthem. Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall knelt last night and said this after the game.
BRANDON MARSHALL, NFL LINEBACKER: I'm not against the military. I'm not against, you know, the police, you know, or America, you know, I'm just against social injustice. I didn't want to do it as far as take a need. But I will also donate, you know, to programs for veterans and, you know, different things like that. You know, I will donate undisclosed amount and I'm going to be active in this.
O'REILLY: Now, Mr. Marshall is an interesting study as far as being an American is concerned. Not a football player. An American. He was raised in Las Vegas. Had a violent father who went to prison. But he worked hard and succeeded in developing his football skills. Marshall received a scholarship, full scholarship from the University of Nevada. He went to college free. By the way, he was on the same team as Colin Kaepernick who started the national anthem disrespect.
Anyway, Brandon Marshall has played well in the National Football League and recently signed a $32 million contract. So let's put this in perspective. Poor kid, bad father, develops his God-given skills, is presented with an opportunity to attend college free of charge. Then becomes a professional football player, earning millions in our capitalistic system. Nowhere on earth could Brandon Marshall have done that but America. Nowhere.
To be fair, bad things do happen in this country, in every country, and they must be confronted. But to disrespect our entire system when you have reaped so much benefit from it is fallacious in the extreme. Brandon Marshall and others like him have an obligation to think about what they're putting out there because some impressionable folks listen to them. Want to improve things? Good. Disrespecting the anthem, not good.

UK grid capacity 'sufficient' for electric vehicles
Simulation studies indicate that a substantial rise in the number of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles would have a much lower impact on the UK national power grid than was previously thought, though some local improvements might be needed.
The research study has been carried out by a consortium led by Jaguar-Land Rover as part of the Range Extended Hybrid Electric Vehicle (REHEV) project, which is part-funded by the Technology Strategy Board. Other consortium members are Ricardo, E.ON and Amberjac Projects.
The study marks completion of the first stage of the REHEV project and has focused on a range of vehicle charging scenarios and levels of market penetration to predict the likely increase in national energy use.
Four vehicle fleet charging scenarios were simulated, comprising uncontrolled domestic charging, uncontrolled off-peak domestic charging, 'smart' domestic charging and uncontrolled public charging throughout the day - for example, by commuters who recharge their vehicles while at work.
Charging was assumed to be single-phase AC as this is the most likely near-term solution, but the study also considered fast-charging scenarios, as for a large number of vehicles the energy demanded over a time period is likely to be the same and distributed evenly.
Assuming a 10 per cent market penetration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles in the UK vehicle parc, the study showed a daily peak increase in electricity demand of less than 2 per cent (approximately 1GW) for the scenario of uncontrolled domestic charging - the 'worst case' in terms of peak power demand. Other scenarios are less challenging: off-peak domestic charging, for example, increases electricity consumption throughout the night but has no impact on the peak daily demand.
The report points out that it will be a number of years before 10 per cent penetration could be achieved, and say that the national impact on grid capacity of such a significant electrification of the vehicle fleet would be manageable. However, the research team emphasise that local improvements may be necessary - for example, where local network capacity is marginal or where particularly high concentrations of electric or plug-in vehicles occur.
The project consortium is now looking at the timeline for reduced power station CO2 emissions, which would enable electric vehicles to claim true ultra-low-carbon status. Future reportswill look at fast-charging infrastructure, which would offer significant consumer benefits in the use of electric and plug-in hybrids.
The next stage of the REHEV project is the development of a modular electric and electric/diesel powertrain, suitable for several different vehicle types. This will initially be tested on a large premium sport utility platform.
Future passenger and commercial variants could have an all-electric range of over 20 miles, enough for most journeys. Longer trips would still be accommodated with the internal combustion engine, removing the range anxiety issues often associated with pure electric vehicles.

Our Qualification process involve an in depth examination of your credit history and financial situation. We will collect and examine your W-2's, tax returns, pay stubs, credit report, and your bank and other asset statements.
The application is usually taken over the phone and this is when the Mortgage Loan Officer also known as a Mortgage Specialist examines your information and where you discuss what you are looking for in a loan then the Mortgage Loan Officer will go over your options with you, including down payment, types of loans you are eligible for as well as the rate and term. It is at this time when we determine the best loan product you are eligible for that best suits your mortgage needs.
The following is a list of documents you should collect and have ready to send to your Mortgage Loan Officer
These are very simplified guidelines of what a typical mortgage underwriter will
consider when evaluating your mortgage application for a conventional (Fannie
Mae) loan.
In the past 10 years there has been a major move in the mortgage industry away from human underwriters and to a more subjective way of measuring a borrower. This is
called automated underwriting. You have a computer program that makes a decision based on the same basic criteria as above. Your application information is entered into a
computer and the software makes a decision as to whether or not to approve your loan. The main difference is that automated underwriting will often use compensating factors
such as a high credit score or low loan to value to approve the loan despite shortcomings in other areas of the application.
The bottom line is that due to this automated underwriting system, in many cases we can have you pre-qualified in a much shorter time. Taking your loan from application to closing is a much more efficient and faster process than ever before.

A common mistake most people do is throw away the onion skin when using this vegetable.
But, researches have found that onion skin is abundant in potent antioxidants, which can improve human health on many levels. For one thing, the outer brown layer of onions is packed with fiber, flavonoids and antioxidants, all of which are highly beneficial for improving skin health.
Read on and find out how you can reap the health benefits from onion skin.
Onion Skin Contains More Antioxidants than the Onion
Onion skin is rich in a strong plant pigment called quercetin, which is highly effective in reducing hypertension and preventing clogged arteries. Moreover, the onion skin has anti-cancer, antifungal, anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties.
Including onion skin into your diet can drastically cut your risk of:
- cardiovascular disease
- colon cancer
- obesity
- type 2 diabetes
- gastrointestinal problems

We human beings are well adept to faulty rationalization when it comes to our money. All too often we blur the truth of a situation to appease our fears. Rather than simply recognizing how we feel employing a sounding board to help us determine the right course, we create and perpetuate a facade of a logical-sounding argument.
1) "I just want to wait till things become clearer." It's understandable to feel unnerved by volatile markets. But waiting for volatility to "clear" before investing often results in missing the return that can accompany the risk.
2) "I just can't take the risk anymore." By focusing exclusively on the risk of losing money and paying a premium for safety, we can end up with insufficient funds for retirement. Avoiding risk can also mean missing an upside.
3) "I want to live today. Tomorrow can look after itself." Often used to justify a reckless purchase, it's not either/or. You can live today and mind your savings. You just need to keep to your budget.
4) "I don't care about capital gain. I just need the income." Income is fine. But making income your sole focus can lead you down a dangerous road. Just ask anyone who recently invested in collateralized debt obligations.
5) "I want to get some of those losses back." It's human nature to be emotionally attached to past bets, even losing ones. But, as the song says, you have to know when to fold 'em.
6) "But this stock/fund/strategy has been good to me."
We all have a tendency to hold on to winners too long. But without disciplined rebalancing, your portfolio can end up carrying much more risk than you bargained for.
7) "But the newspaper said…" Investing by the headlines is like dressing based on yesterday's weather report. The market has usually reacted already and moved on to worrying about something else.
8) "The guy at the bar/my uncle/my boss told me…" The world is full of experts; many recycle stuff they've heard elsewhere. But even if their tips are right, this kind of advice rarely takes your circumstances into account.
9) "I just want certainty." Wanting confidence in your investments is fine. But certainty? You can spend a lot of money trying to insure yourself against every possible outcome. While it cannot guard against every risk, it's cheaper to diversify your investments.
10) "I'm too busy to think about this." We often try to control things we can't change—like market and media noise—and neglect areas where our actions can make a difference—like the costs of investments. That's worth the effort.
Given how easy it is to rationalize our own behavior, it is beneficial to hear independent advice from someone who understands your goals, needs, and circumstances. They can also act as an accountability partner to ensure you uphold your intentions and don't waver or "jump the tracks."
Contact us if you'd like to discuss your situation – we can help.

teach your children well
It might be the hormones, but I'm all sniffly after reading Aaryn's One Love post about this weekend's Pride parade. (Visit her blog to see all the awesome photos.)
We missed this year's parade due to the heat and the fact that I'm 40+ weeks pregnant. As we drove through Hillcrest, we talked about our plans to take our little one to future parades. Part of the conversation centered on the values we want our children to understand. And part of it was about the sheer joy of community.
I'm confident that our little one will grow up understanding that diversity is beautiful, that his gay aunts and uncles love their children in the same way we love him, and that it's better to do the right thing than the popular thing (because the majority is often wrong). More to the point, I hope he has the courage to be who he is, and to know that we will always love him. As usual, Aaryn summed it up much more eloquently:

One Love
By Aaryn Belfer 18 July 2010
I never really understand why people are hesitant to take their kids to the Gay Pride Parade. Over the weekend, I had several different conversations about it—since I'd planned to take Ruby—and got several interesting reactions. One couple I met at breakfast this morning said that they'd always wanted to go, but motioned toward their six-year old and whispered that they'd heard it's "basically a porn show." Another friend dismissed it because all the "cocks" aren't appropriate for her daughters.
Now, the porn thing is off by astronomical distances: This is a public event with participants from all across the city. The Mayor was in this past Saturday's Pride parade, as was Republican Ron Roberts from the County Board of Supervisors, and believe me, there isn't anything remotely titillating or even vaguely pornographic about either of these guys. Even the public defender's office represented with a float bearing the slogan "Getting people off since 19[something or other]!"
However, while nobody was whipping out their cocks along University Avenue during this weekend's party, I have to admit the my friend's concern was wholly legitimate.
I stand corrected because I did indeed see Cox at the parade. As did my daughter and my bestie's daughter and all the many children and grown-ups and families who sat on the curb in the heat, beneath a sky the color of swimming pools, sharing sun screen and snacks and spray bottles, celebrating our gay brothers and sisters.
Ruby was very excited about all the swag, the horses ridden by the Wells Fargo people (I suppose it could be argued that bankers are pornographic), and the stilt walker.
I was excited about my friend, Barbarella's piglet, Carnitos—who may have cured me of my bacon habit forever—and the Gay Men's Chorus, since my friend's Skip and Andy were marching.
I didn't find Skip and Andy but they were out there and they were proud, I know.
Oh, and speaking of excitement, Ruby just about peed her pants at the sight of the man with the RAINBOW! HAIR!
Who's not tickled by RAINBOW! HAIR!? I was tickled by the message on his shirt because the message is the reason I bring my daughter to the parade. Love, not hate, is what I wish to instill in her.
I guess this could be considered Jesus porn because I was practically orgasmic at the sight of these folks.
Standing there in the street watching groups of people march beneath such signs is encouraging. They make you believe in humanity and remind you that The Rock church doesn't represent all Christians. Just too many of them.
Of course, I'd be lying if I represented the parade as all Hail Marys and Holy Water. There was a little bit of shaking, jangling flesh out there, too. And God Bless it!
So she has pasties on her nibbles. Still: Not porn. Just a little edgy. And, I'm guessing, much cooler than my flesh-toned padded bra that's so old it has dimples. Anyway, have you been to the beach lately? Right. Moving along…
Every parade is better with queens:
In fact, pretty much every situation in life is improved by the presence of a drag queen.
However, the people you really want on your side when the chips are down (or up, no matter) is your family. Which is why PFLAG is the greatest part of the Parade every single year. PFLAG is, hands down, the very best group, float or no float.
I challenge anyone to remain stony when these people walk by. I wanted to run up and hug them. Instead I took their blurry picture with my phone.
I don't know who Ruby will love when she grows up. And I don't care. I just want her to love, to be loved and to be happy. I hope that's what she is learning from me.

attention, baby: we have you surrounded
I had three due dates. I say "had" because all have elapsed and I still haven't gone into active labor.
The first due date was July 10 (based on my last menstrual period).
The second was July 12 (measurement #1 on an early ultrasound).
The third was July 14 (measurement #2 on an ultrasound taken the same day). We embraced the third due date for a few reasons:
The first due date was July 10 (based on my last menstrual period).
The second was July 12 (measurement #1 on an early ultrasound).
The third was July 14 (measurement #2 on an ultrasound taken the same day). We embraced the third due date for a few reasons:
- It was the latest of the three dates, and given that this is our first child (and that first babies are usually a few days late), this was the most "realistic" of the three dates.
- It was Bastille Day -- a phenomenal due date for a francophile like me.
- It was safely after the World Cup finals would be over -- a phenomenal date for a rabid soccer fan like Leo. (Remember, Uruguay qualified for the Cup for the first time in a long time. Although there were high hopes, at the beginning of the competition, Leo reminded me that it was statistically unlikely that Uruguay would make it to the end of the tournament, but did clarify that given the choice between watching Uruguay play in the final or watching me in the agony of labor, he knew where he'd rather be. Then Forlán and la Celeste did what the pundits considered impossible -- they kept advancing, until the heartbreaking deflected goal in the final seconds of the third place game on July 10.)
Attention baby: we have you surrounded. Come out with your hands up. Don't try to be a hero.After attempting to trigger labor in all of the non-medical ways possible, I've made my peace with the fact that I won't be meeting my passenger until at least Tuesday, when I'll be induced. I suppose it's just the first of many reminders that parenting means letting go of the illusion of control, timelines, and predictable outcomes. It also means being excited about the adventure, no matter how the process unfolds.

modern love: mom/ not mom/ aunt
I have a few friends who are walking the path to parenthood via donors and surrogacy. I hope their outcomes are as wonderful as this one.
Mom/Not Mom/Aunt
By JERRY MAHONEY
July 16, 2010
AFTER five loving, fulfilling years with my boyfriend, Drew, I suddenly found myself online, looking to meet a woman.
I spent hours poring over profiles, bios and stats, looking at poorly lighted digital pictures and videos of awkward faces uttering tightly rehearsed self-promotional pitches. I narrowed the flash mob of candidates to six. Then I summoned Drew for his approval.
Together we had a decision to make. One of the strangers on this Web site could end up contributing half of our child's DNA.
"Big nose, bad hair, gross skin, ugh — those eyebrows." Drew sped down the list and blackballed them all.
I fought for a few: "But she has a 4.0 at veterinary school, and this one teaches autistic kids to tap dance!"
Drew was unmoved.
I shouldn't have been surprised. As a writer, I'm drawn to characters with intriguing quirks and heart-tugging back stories. But for Drew, who spent 12 years overseeing reality programming for MTV, this was proving to be just another casting session, albeit for the significant supporting role of egg donor.
We'd been instructed by our surrogacy agency not to use the "m-word." "This child will have two fathers," the staff member scolded. "He or she will have an egg donor and a surrogate, but no mother!"
Whatever you call these young women, there's no shortage of them. For all those who are desperate to stop gay couples from adopting, there are others who are eager to help us down a more complex path to parenthood.
And for the most part, they are merely girls — some as young as 19, still in their awkward phases. You click on a face and up pops a video in which an acne-cheeked college sophomore talks about her poli-sci major, her love of soccer and "One Tree Hill" and, eyes wide with optimism, about the corporation she'll be running in five years. A few write in texting shorthand: "Would luv 2 help u." Drew and I are nearly twice as old as some of them. If we'd been straight and careless, we might have had a daughter their age by now.
Drew and I found each other via similar means, an online dating site. We used the kind of systemized vetting that, these days, takes the place of destiny. Drew screened out guys who liked house music or who mixed up "your" and "you're." I vetoed anyone who in place of a head shot uploaded a crotch shot.
Choosing a biological relative for our unborn fetus wasn't going to be as simple. There were so many more variables and bigger questions to ponder. Most candidates requested the standard $8,000 fee, but some negotiated their own rates. If she was blond, athletic and Harvard-educated, she thought she was worth 30 grand.
Everybody wants their children to have the best, but this process threatened to bankrupt us even without all the premium options.
Besides, who knew what that money would really buy? If we picked someone with an astronomical price tag, couldn't we be saddling our child with the greed gene? And how would we explain it to him? "Your egg donor was top of the line, son. We got you, and she got a Porsche." Or, "We wanted you to be taller, but anything over 5-foot-9 was out of our price range."
For us, two men who struggle over which Netflix movie to watch, this decision could stretch on long after our biological clocks had run out.
That's when Susie called.
"You know you can have my eggs if you want them, right?" she said.
It was that swift, that casual, as if we were talking about borrowing her hair dryer or Ani DiFranco CD's, rather than a part of her womanhood. But with that simple statement, it got even more complicated. Susie was everything an egg donor should be: kind, beautiful, smart, a gifted artist and, at 28, practically at the peak of her fertility.
She was also Drew's little sister.
Despite being nine years apart in age and on opposite sides of the country, Susie and Drew couldn't be closer or more alike. They talk on the phone nearly every day, make the same facial expressions, laugh at the same dirty jokes, have the same mercurial temper. Drew was constantly trying to persuade Susie to move to Los Angeles, where we live. He offered to lease an apartment for her, find her a job, do whatever it took to have her close by. With Susie's offer, I knew generosity was yet another trait they shared.
All along Drew and I had wondered whose sperm we would use. With Susie, the matter was settled: I would be the biological father. Yet for the first time, Drew and I were also able to imagine what it would be like to have a child who had genetic roots in both family trees.
What would she look like? How would he act? How would our respective features merge into one warbling little miracle? We'd grown up when coming out meant putting an end to dreams of fatherhood. Now we were giddy with the possibilities of reproduction that most straight couples take for granted.
But what exactly would Susie be sacrificing?
She was young and unattached. She wanted her own children but wasn't ready. So was she prepared for someone else to have her child? And how would she explain this particular brand of baggage to a potential husband someday? Most of all, would she be satisfied always being Aunt Susie to this child and never, you know, the m-word?
Drew and I had doubts, but Susie considered it a done deal. This was her brother, and if he needed eggs, damn it, he was going to take hers. She was exactly as stubborn as Drew would've been if he were offering and she were the one in need.
She didn't flinch when the doctor explained the pain and inconvenience she would endure before her eggs were extracted: months of genetic tests, weeks of self-administered hormone injections and the resultant mood swings. Most troubling of all, she'd need so much time off for trips to California that she could risk losing her job. To all of this, she shrugged and asked only one question: "When do we start?"
When the day of the extraction finally came, the hard part was supposed to be over. With the right dose of medication, most women Susie's age produce dozens of healthy eggs. But for reasons the doctor couldn't explain, Susie produced only five. Of those, two failed to fertilize.
The outlook was bad for us, devastating for Susie.
The physician spoke about her fertility the way Al Gore describes the polar ice caps: Time is running out, and it may already be too late. He warned that if our surrogate couldn't become pregnant with Susie's eggs, it was unlikely Susie ever would, either.
We all agreed the only option was to implant the three embryos and begin an excruciating wait. If this didn't work, Drew and I would return to the Web sites full of strangers, if we even had the strength to try again. And we didn't want to think about what that would mean for Susie.
TEN days later, we were visiting Drew's family in upstate New York. It was two days before Christmas, and we all were trying our best to talk about anything but babies. My cellphone rang, and a hush fell over the room. The nurse on the other end didn't stall.
"Jerry!" she squealed. "I have some exciting news." A cascade of cheers drowned out the rest of the call, and Susie, Drew and I shared a tight hug that seemed to last for hours.
A few weeks later, we joined our surrogate for her first ultrasound, where an even bigger surprise awaited. From the grainy soup on the sonogram monitor, two peanut shapes emerged. Drew and I were going to be the fathers of twins.
Our son and daughter are now 10 months old, and when I look at them I see traces of each of us. My nose, Susie's eyes, Drew's chin. They're just starting to invent a secret language to communicate with each other. If we hear one baby cry, it's a safe bet that the other just stole her pacifier or hit him with a stuffed monkey. But then, when no one's looking, sometimes they'll reach out and hold each other's hands.
Susie gets to witness it all, because her frequent phone calls with Drew have become video chats with our whole family. And as I watch Drew proudly showing off our children for her, I realize the gift Susie has given us is much more valuable than just a genetic link to our offspring. It's a brother and sister — tiny, perfect and gradually building a special bond all their own.

cribs vs. beds: parenthood's all-out war
Over the years, I've learned that everyone has an opinion on everything ... myself included. If I'm passionate about something, I'm likely to speak up. And parenting is no exception.
Being 39 weeks pregnant, I'm very much on the receiving end of a lot of questions and advice -- about the birth (from "wait, you're using a midwife, but you're going to a hospital?" to "for the first one, there's no need for heroics ... get an epidural!" to "having a scheduled C-section was the best decision I ever made"), circumcision (from "why would you even consider something so barbaric and unnecessary?" to "you know, my nephew wasn't circumcised and now they have to put steroid cream on his penis every day because his foreskin isn't stretching properly as he grows and it's horribly painful for him"), and vaccines (from "you're not getting the MMR shot, are you?" to "please tell me you're not one of those crackpots who thinks vaccines cause autism!"). Depending on my relationship with the person making the comment, I either ask questions or change the topic immediately.
Leo and I haven't made up our minds on everything about parenting, but we do read a lot, listen a lot, and ask lots of questions. We've opted to take the same approach to parenting as we are with the birth -- focusing on being prepared (understanding all the options), confident (within reason), and flexible (who knows what will happen when it's actually 'go' time?) -- because that's the best way for us to deal with the unknown. In some ways, I think we're pretty much free agents on most things, taking a moderate approach when possible, and ordering 'a la carte,' rather than choosing everything on the pre-defined menus. This article neatly gets at the quandaries and passions of parenting, and left me laughing to boot...

Cribs vs. Beds: Parenthood's all-out war
When it comes to raising a kid, two gangs dominate, and they agree on only one thing: You're doing it wrong
By Peter Birkenhead
Friday, Jul 2, 2010 14:01 ET
A wise woman once said it takes a village to raise a child, and as a new father I have found this to be true.
But lately I have also found the village to be dominated by two gangs of extremely, frighteningly organized parents, whom my wife and I spend a lot of time trying to avoid. Members of these gangs are lurking in every Pain Quotidian and farmers' market in Los Angeles, fighting tooth-and-nail turf wars over the best way for kids to be born, eat, learn and especially sleep, which is how the gangs came by their now notorious names in our house: the Cribs and the Beds.
The Cribs, as you probably know, believe in "crying it out," "walking it off," and midcentury modern furniture. The Beds, of course, believe in co-sleeping, home birthing and placenta soup. Both groups believe that I, as a new parent, am a dangerous idiot, and they are not at all shy about letting me know that.
So I'm writing this to take a stand, to ask for your help in taking our village back, and in not getting the stink-eye at parties.
After only eight months of fatherhood I've learned a lot about the gangs. I've learned to recognize the Cribs' distinctive attire (if I see a pair of orange Crocs coming my way, I just cross the street). I've come to know the Beds' brutal hazing rituals (which they refer to as "Bikram yoga"). I've learned each gang's colorful parenting patois.
But the main thing that distinguishes the gangs from each other is their philosophies. Fundamentally, the Cribs and Beds disagree about how kids should sleep. The first member of the Cribs I ever met explained to me, over a steamy quadruple espresso, that they believe a child will grow up to be calm, secure and independent as long as — over the sound of his own terrified howling and the screech of a white-noise machine turned up to 11 — he can't hear his parents grinding their teeth with worry over following the same sleep-training regimen all their friends do.
The Beds, on the other hand, believe that independence is something a family does, together, in bed. According to a conversation I overheard at this year's Topanga Canyon Soy Cheese and Hemp Festival, the Beds feel that nothing can match the sense of security a child feels when she cuddles with her mom, dad, sister, brother, stepsister and ferret, safe in the knowledge that they'll all be with her through the night. Every minute. Of every night. While her brother farts on her knee. Family Bed parents feel that co-sleeping will engender a sense for the child, later in life, that she can face anything, as long as a much older man with gray back hair and bad breath holds her tight while she does.
The gangs speak their own languages when it comes to things like sleep training, and it's important to learn to decipher them. For instance, our friend Marsha recently asked me whether our daughter was "sleeping through the night yet," which in gang-speak means, "How are things on the Island of Misfit Parents?" I tried but failed to change the subject, and when I described the ambivalent, improvised approach Jenny and I take, I was met with the inevitable phrase, "Whatever works for you!" which means, "Have fun visiting her in juvie!"
The Cribs and Beds are mostly in agreement, however, about the notorious peanut dilemma. My wife and I love peanut butter. The first thing I did when she told me it was time to go to the hospital to have the baby was make two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for her to have later. I put them in our special "Go Bag" with the earplugs, lip balm, Rebozo support slings and thought, "Did I just release evil peanut dust into the air? Is this the last PB&J we'll eat for 18 years?" Many children, of course, have an allergy to peanuts, which doctors now believe is probably caused by an early exposure to peanut butter, and which can be prevented … by an early exposure to peanut butter. I understand this might be confusing, but don't worry — it's not your fault — it's peanut butter's fault for being mind-alteringly scrumptious. Both the Cribs and the Beds believe in the current scientific consensus that we must stay vigilant against peanut butter, by feeding it to our children early, but never. It's a fairly safe subject to bring up, and good for fooling the gang-bangers into thinking you might be one of them.
And some Cribs and Beds are finding common ground on other issues. For instance, when Jenny was pregnant, and before we knew the sex of the baby, I, as a Jewish soon-to-be father, started to feel the pull of a 2,000-year tradition and considered circumcising my possible son. I mentioned this fact at a rumble ("baby shower"), where I learned that I was just as likely to be called a barbarian by a mom with seven holes punched in her ear and a line of credit at the pediatric homeopath's as I was by the father of a 6-year-old figure skater. I also learned that the idea of not circumcising my son could get me accused of breaking a sacred covenant … by a twice-divorced Hollywood agent. I have to admit that, at that moment, it felt very tempting to join one of the gangs. To at least know where I stood, even if I had no idea what I thought. Maybe effective child rearing was really all about navigating life's daily obstacles with the comforting, quiet sense of smugness that only parent-gang membership could provide. But I fought that impulse. I reminded myself that I have my own brand of arrogance, thank you very much. If there's one thing a lifelong, fence-sitting commitment-phobe is good at, it's not choosing sides.
But sometimes conflict is unavoidable, and it's not pretty. The home-birthing wars could flare up again any minute now, and this time Ricki "On the Business of Being Born" Lake could make a full-fledged comeback. So, if you're not in a gang, it's very important to keep your wits about you. Soon after our daughter was born, we met a person who taught us the word "lactivist" is a real thing that exists. She said it in public, and she wasn't laughing, so I guess she was more likely to be a member of the Beds than the Cribs. But she lacked any of the usual identifying accessories, such as the Bolivian slings that many members of the Beds use to carry their babies, or the actual Bolivians that the Cribs prefer, so I couldn't be sure. Jenny had had a tough time getting our daughter to nurse properly for the first few weeks after she was born. After a very frustrating talk with the lactivist, Jenny asked her if it would ruin everything if she supplemented the baby's feeding with a bottle once in a while, and through an ice-cold smile, without hesitation, the lactivist said, "It would." As far as I'm concerned, the tears that popped out of Jenny's eyes at that moment were a consequence of our first brush with gang violence.
Passions run very high on these subjects. The Beds feel that in defending something like home birth, they're defending something primal and sacred, that they're on the side of Mother Nature herself. The Cribs feel they're on the side of modernity, of rational thinking, science and safety. When I hear them talk about it, I actually think both sides make a good case. But then, when I think about it a little more, I wonder about their sanity. Did I mention that I'm an ambivalent type? I wonder if maybe investing so much emotion in these issues isn't misplacing it a little. Couldn't they use all that righteous indignation for fixing the education system?
But see now, as I write that, I wonder why I'm being so hard on the gangs. Having a kid was an overwhelming experience. All of a sudden I was confronted with this fragile, chaotic, mortal life that I was responsible for. And then there was the baby! Seeing my own humanity clearly was one thing, but seeing my daughter's was all things, all at once, forever. Living, breathing, surprising chaos right there in my mortal hands. It was enough to make me fear that chaos a little bit. To want to hang on, maybe a bit too tight.
When Jenny and I were in the hospital, we never ate one of those PB&J sandwiches. Her contractions never once settled in to the regular pattern we were told would mark the onset of labor. We never used anything in the "Go Bag," or any of the special labor positions we'd learned and practiced in birthing class. But I'm glad we learned them. I'm glad we planned and made promises and came up with lots of rules for ourselves, because it helped focus our minds. It eased our worries, made us feel like this was doable. Made us feel like a family. Real gang members say that's how they think of their gangs — as surrogate families. Not many of us live in the same house with our uncles or grandmothers anymore. These days our friends are our families. So maybe what the home birthers and crib lovers are defending isn't merely about practices but about love and companionship. How these things help us find the sweet spot between chaos and order. Maybe people are just trying to find their footing on ever-shifting sands. Maybe we should all cut each a little slack.
Except for the people wearing orange Crocs, of course. You guys need to buy some real shoes.

Australian PM Julia Gillard presents carbon tax bill
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has presented her bill for a controversial carbon tax to parliament.
The legislation would force about 500 of the biggest polluters to pay for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit.
The tax is central to the government's strategy to combat climate change, but the opposition say it will cause job losses and raise the cost of living.
Thousands of Australians have protested against the bill, accusing Ms Gillard of lying before last year's election.
Ms Gillard made a pledge during last year's federal election not to introduce a carbon tax.
The proposed tax was drawn up after Ms Gillard failed to win an overall majority in parliament at the polls and had to rely on the support of the Australian Greens.
The bills will undergo a month of consideration before a final vote on 12 October.
Cheers and howls
Addressing the House of Representatives, Ms Gillard said her task and that of parliament was to lead the country through a world undergoing change.
"The jobs of the future are clean energy jobs. Employment is projected to grow strongly with a carbon price," she said, adding that 1.6 million jobs would be created in the next eight years.
"Today we move from words to deeds. This parliament is going to get this done," she said, to cheers and howls in parliament.
Australia's 500 heaviest polluters will pay A$23 (£15; $24) for each tonne of carbon emissions, and households will be compensated through tax cuts or welfare increases for any increased costs.
It will be introduced on 1 July next year, and will then evolve into an emissions trading scheme three years later.
Analysts say no issue in Australian politics is generating more passion right now than climate change.
Supporters of the carbon scheme believe a country that is one of the world's worst-per-capita emitters of greenhouse gases is finally on the road to environmental salvation.
However, thousands of people have protested at rallies across the nation against the levy. Many believe it will wreck Australia's coal-dependent economy, drive up the cost of living for families and force thousands out of work.
The coalition has vowed to oppose the legislation, although with support from the key independents and the Greens the 18 carbon bills are expected to be passed.
The conservative opposition leader has promised to ditch the tax if he wins office.
Tony Abbott said on Tuesday that the government had "no mandate" to "ram the bill through".
"It's never disruptive to get rid of a bad tax. It's always advantageous to reduce business costs. [Manufacturers] don't want this tax, and if they get it they will want to be rid of it as quickly as they possibly can," he told the ABC.

Similarly to the ammo crates, in most standard games each player gets to deploy one tank trap anywhere this is no other terrain feature.
In game terms; tank traps prevent a vehicle from entering a square and provide hard cover for infantry.
These are the plastic ones you get with the Dust Tactics: Revised Core Set.
Nothing complicated here, grey spray undercoat with a white spray dusting, gentle wash on the base and them a dry-brush before matt varnish.
You get a few more with some of the other scenario sets although there are very few scenarios in Dust Tactics when you actually need many more than two.

We know it's difficult to estimate how much a project will cost, that's why we've surveyed our tradesmen to give you an idea of how much you should expect to pay for specific jobs. Tradesmen all across the country have contributed to the cost guides, so the costs you see are an approximate national average.
If you have to replace glass in and around your doors, or you are having glass installed there for the first time, then it is always advisable to engage an experienced professional to do the job. Glaziers and carpenters will have worked with glass in various different types of doors and will know where and how glass works best, as well as which sorts of glass will combine good looks with sound security.
If the tradesman is replacing glass in your door then he will carefully remove any glass that you currently have installed, ensuring that he clears all of the old glass, as well as from the area around it. He will then clean the area, scrape out any old putty and prepare it for new glass to be installed. The glass will need to be cut to fit the door and then fitted with new putty and allowed to dry solidly. If you have a UPVC or an aluminium door then you will need a glazing expert, who will be able to remove old glass from a sealed unit and fit new glass into it safely and securely. They should also be able to replace panels in the door with glass or revert glass panels to a solid door panel.
Glass in solid wooden doors is often in the form of a fanlight at the top of the door, which is a decorative curved strip of glass or several small pieces of glass. These can be difficult to repair or replace, as the glass is curved and has to be cut to fit the holes in the door. If the glass is decorative then a glazier may be able to match the glass or provide a similar glass to replace the whole fanlight. Similarly, a good professional glazier will be able to match and replace the glass in the top half of a door, whether it is plain, leaded or of the decorative style of coloured glass used in lots of homes from the Victorian era up to the 1930s.
They should also be able to fit new or salvaged glass that you buy and would like fitted into your door. Glaziers will be able to fit security or toughened safety glass, which is often used in doors in flats or in areas where there is a high crime rate. They will also be able to repair or renew glass in patio doors, sliding doors or French doors, working on wooden framed fittings or with aluminium or UPVC sealed units. All of this kind of work should be simple for any glazier, security expert or door-fitter with experience of working with glasswork. The overall cost of the job will depend upon the amount of glass to be fitted and the difficulty of the job, as well as the cost of the new or replacement glass that is to be installed
