"France is not Italy!" takes us on a visual journey of the French and Italian Riviera where we explore the cultural landscape of this historic and artistically influential region.
The photo story begins in France exploring the coastal towns of Nice, Cannes, Antibes and Villefrance-sur-Mer. We briefly explore Monte Carlo on the road to Italy. In Italy our journey takes us into small coastal towns of Ventimiglia and Vallecrosia then to the popular tourist destination of Santa Margherita, Rapallo, Portofino. We also explore major monuments of the Catholic Church in Pisa and Milan.
Beautiful panoramic landscapes set the scene for each location. Culture is captured through candid street photography in markets and shopping districts surrounding churches in the historic center of the city. The photographs contrast attitude and lifestyle influenced by history in each destination.
Although, this book might be considered a travel book, each photograph had to qualify as a fine art photograph for inclusion in the book. During the editing process, a very good photograph would be eliminated it was too similar to another, artistically stronger image. Next the images were sequenced to tell a story about the people and places - this involved further editing out of good photographs that didn't suit the story sequence or color pallet. The result of this stringent editing process is a collection of interesting photographs that each tell a story themself and a photostory that is visually stimulating to read as a body of work.
The author provides a brief introduction to the book, however, there is no textual storyline. The reader is given subtle clues to the author's interpretation of the storyline by the titles of the photograhs and he leaves the interpretation of the story to the reader through his/her ability to relate to the images.

vacation rental description
Dreaming of ocean-front? The reality's even better. At Cinnamon Beach 444 you can wake up with the sunrise - hovering just over the Atlantic Ocean horizon. You'll love the salt in the air and the surf soundtrack audible from bed. This new addition to our rental inventory is a secret waiting to be discovered.
Guests return to Cinnamon Beach year after year for its quiet environs and family-friendly atmosphere. Unit #444 epitomizes both.
On a large patio, sink into a comfortable chair and enjoy endless ocean views. While the ocean-front pool has lovely views as well, on the patio you can enjoy them as you please - over breakfast, lunch or dinner, or perhaps quietly with a book.
A ready-made home is perfect for up to eight guests. If traveling with children, they'll love having their own room and you'll love the peace of mind this gated community affords.
A comfortable living room rewards after sunny days and balmy nights. Two deep couches (great for tall people) face a large TV, with an armchair and coffee table as well. Neutral colors match the warming sunlight well.
Plan your day from either of the two kitchen bar stools - or jump right into action with home-made pancakes and fresh coffee. The kitchen, open over a wrap-around breakfast to the rest of the living area, has ocean views as well. Stainless steel appliances match the shiny convenience of this unit, and all cookware is provided.
From your master suite you can sneak to the patio at any hour via your private sliding door. If time to yourself is a rare event - this is the unit for you. In addition to a king-sized bed there's also an en suite Jacuzzi-style soaking tub and luxe fittings.
Just as comfy are the two guest bedrooms: a queen in the second and two twins in the third. They each have their own private TV and share a full bathroom.
Among this units many added conveniences, its second floor location is notable. While an elevator is just outside your door, a quick flight of stairs is all that waits between you and a race to the beach. This is exactly what's meant by "a hop, skip and jump" - and the resort's two pools are less than a 5-minute walk.
Beyond sunrise views, Cinnamon Beach 444 is ideally suited for a grand occasion. Book it with up to three other units on the same floor (#s 443 and 442) to accommodate your entire family or wedding party in one place. Everyone gets their own space and can spontaneously come and go for the fun stuff.
Cinnamon Beach at Ocean Hammock Beach Resort rentals in Palm Coast Florida include access to a large ocean front heated pool, a second heated pool with a gradual slope entrance for kids and families, a "water splash zone" for kids, a fitness center, a kid's game room, an adult game room with pool table, jacuzzi and a selection of picturesque walking and jogging trails. Email us as we also have a list of great nearby restaurants, grocery stores and golf courses.

(February 21, 2010) – The Canadian Olympic community and the figure skating family were saddened this morning to learn of the death of Thérèse Rochette, the mother of figure skater Joannie Rochette. Mrs. Rochette, died last night at Vancouver General Hospital. She was just 55 years of age. The Rochette family had just arrived in Vancouver yesterday from Montreal. Joannie's father Normand came to the Olympic Village early this morning and gave Joannie the sad news along with her long-time coach Manon Perron.
Our sincere condolences go out to the Rochette family, and our thoughts and prayers are with Joannie at this time. She is currently with her father and close family friends who have travelled from Île Dupas and area to be here for the Games. The other members of the Canadian figure skating team here have all been informed by their coaches and team leaders of the sad news. Joannie is with her father at this time, but she has decided to compete through the Games. We support her in her decision and will help her prepare during this sad time.

Posted By: KLKN Newsroom
WASHINGTON (AP) _ More children than ever got vaccinated against the flu last year, and health officials are urging families to do even better this time around.
A severe flu strain swept the country last winter, sparking a scramble for last-minute vaccinations. There's no way to predict if this year will be as bad. But protection requires a yearly vaccine, either a shot or nasal spray. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday it's time for people to start getting immunized.
Flu vaccine is recommended for nearly everyone ages 6 months and older. Yet just 45 percent of the population followed that advice last year. Flu is particularly risky for seniors and kids. Two-thirds of adults 65 and older, and nearly 57 percent of children, were vaccinated last year.
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department says the vaccine is especially important for those at high risk of developing serious complications like pneumonia if they get the flu. Those include pregnant women, those age 65 and older, and those with certain medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, chronic lung disease and those who are immune compromised.
People who live with or care for others who at high risk of developing complications also should be vaccinated every year. This includes household contacts and caregivers of infants and people with medical conditions including asthma, diabetes and chronic lung disease.
The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and can lead to death. There were two flu-related deaths in Lancaster County last flu season.
Getting vaccinated each year provides the best protection against influenza. An annual flu vaccine is needed because flu viruses change constantly, and new flu viruses mayo appear each year. The flu vaccine is formulated each year to keep up with the flu viruses as they change. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection.
The flu season typically runs from October through April, but it varies and can run into May. Flu activity commonly peaks in the U.S. in January or February.
LLCHD will provide flu vaccine to low-income, uninsured adults and certain uninsured children beginning September 30. To be eligible for a flu vaccine at LLCHD, children must be between the ages of 6 months through 18 years and meet one or more of these criteria:
• Have Medicaid coverage
• Have no health insurance or be under insured
• Be American Indian and/or Alaskan Native.
LLCHD requires appointments for flu vaccinations. For more information, call 402-441-8065 or visit lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: health).

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The Grey Giant was one of the first crags in the Wonderland to be developed by several world renowned climbers (e.g. John Long, Tony Yaniro, Tobin Sorenson) in the early 70's. It is home to the three pitch classic Hyperion, a physically and mentally demanding route that travels along an arching crack underneath a roof for the first two pitches. Other worthy crack climbs include Lithophiliac, Transfusion, The Coliseum, and Dawn Yawn. There are also good slab routes on the south face.
Getting There
Begin in the parking lot near Key's Corner where the boyscout trail to Indian Cove is located. Head northeast on the well-marked trail for about a mile. When the trail forks, take the trail that veers northeast. The trail ends in a wash that branches northeast and south after another 1.5 miles.

March 31, 2010: Document Freedom Day
International free software organizations have declared the last Wednesday in March to be Document Freedom Day (DFD). Activities and information events will take place all over the world, including Canada, United Kingdom and the United States.
"Will you be able to read your documents 20 years from now?" ask the organizers in their rally cry for DFD 2010. Their claim is that only open standards like the Open Document Format offers a guarantee. Everyone can use these formats without restrictions or implement them in software.
The Document Freedom Day on March 31, intends to draw attention to the important role played by free formats in the exchange and saving of information. The organizers, Free Software Foundation Europe, ANSOL and Fundacion Via Libre offer many suggestions for support activities, from web banners, blog entries, letter/postcard campaigns to public information events. Help can be found on the DFD action page.
The DFD blog has information to planned events. The Document Freedom Wiki reports of more activists.

---- — CLINTON — A Saranac teen who was seriously injured in a snowmobile accident March 16 is improving.
"She's doing exceptionally well," Anna M. Bentley's mother, Becky Waldron, said.
Three people have been charged with misdemeanors and another with numerous violations connected with the accident.
Police originally reported that Bentley, 19, was driving the sled, but it was later determined that Richard Decosse Jr., 42, of Churubusco was the operator and that Bentley was a passenger.
Bentley, who was not wearing a helmet, suffered head trauma and facial lacerations, Chazy-based State Police said.
She was transferred from a local hospital to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington after the accident.
The crash, which took place near a residence at 876 State Route 189 in the Town of Clinton, was reported at 11:54 p.m. March 16, according to a State Police blotter entry.
After it was found that Decosse had been driving, he told police the sled had been moving at about 40 mph when he lost control and it struck a tree, ejecting him and Bentley. The teen was thrown against the tree as well, police said.
He also told police he went to get help and later went home because he was not feeling well, authorities said.
Decosse was on probation at the time of the crash, police said, but for what reason wasn't available.
He was charged with numerous State Department of Parks and Recreation violations, including imprudent speed on a snowmobile, illegal operation, reckless operation, operating on a highway, operating without insurance and equipment violations, police said.
Shannon M. Smith, 41, of Chateaugay; Leonard W. King, 45, of Churubusco; and his son Leonard J. King, 23, of Churubusco were all arrested in March and charged with second-degree obstructing governmental administration, a misdemeanor.
All three were at the residence when the accident occurred, police said, and the charges stem from their initial refusal to tell police who was driving the snowmobile.
Smith, King Jr. and King Sr. were arraigned in Clinton Town Court and were released on appearance tickets.
They are scheduled to reappear on May 7.

Two years ago, I learned about 23andme.com, a company that does genetic testing for health, traits and ancestry. The idea is as follows: you send them a sample of your saliva (containing your DNA, I guess from cells in the mouth mucosa), they process it and check for specific genes. Then, they compare your genetic information with the currently known research about health (higher or lower chance of getting some diseases), ancestry (maternal and paternal) and genetic traits (color of the eyes, blood group).
It took me a while to decide and take the test: the idea of giving my DNA information to a private company, with information stored and available on the net, didn't appeal me at all. Call me paranoid, but I can't help it. I made some reputation checks with some trusted people I know, learned that the company has close ties with Google (a co-founder is Brin's wife) and decided for it. The main push, however, was curiosity. In my genetic code it is written how my biological computer works, how it can break, and where it comes from. Too much to resist. After you place your order, they send you a sampling container, which is a test tube with a buffer solution in the cap.
What I found out is appealing: I learned that genetically I am a very healthy person, confirmed some hypotheses about my ancestors, and realized I have superpowers: I am immune to the most common strain of viral gastroenteritis. I left my genetic information in their database and, as long as I keep paying a small fee, they perform additional analyses on my sample for new genes. I keep receiving updates about new findings around once a month.
Do I recommend it? Yes and no. The most important point to keep into account is that, once you open the box of your genetic information, there's no way back. What you learn may change forever how you see yourself, your past, your future and the future of your children. 23andme keeps you health information hidden to you unless unlocked manually. I didn't even ponder a second about it, and clicked on all the "show my health information" buttons I could find. I cannot deal with not knowing, regardless how bad it can be. Knowledge may also allow to take action whenever possible, but for some conditions there's not much to be done.

Quality fan-filmed video footage of BUSH performing two brand-new songs, "This House Is On Fire" and "Loneliness Is A Killer", on April 26 at Sutton State Parking Lot #2 at Siesta Fest in San Antonio, Texas can be seen below (with a special guest appearance by Sybil Buck). Both tracks were written during sessions for their upcoming album, due out later this year. The band's current U.S. tour will be followed by dates overseas, including shows in Russia, London and Vienna, among others.BUSH (vocalist Gavin Rossdale, guitarist Chris Traynor, bassist Corey Britz, drummer Robin Goodridge) recently released "Live From Austin, Texas", an electrifying concert DVD featuring footage from an August 2011 sold-out show at Stubbs. The disc, also available on Blu-ray, features fan favorites "Machinehead", "Glycerine" and "Comedown" — along with new hits "All My Life", "The Afterlife" and "The Sound Of Winter".
BUSH made rock radio history with "The Sound of Winter", becoming the first band ever to hit No. 1 at Alternative Radio with a self-released single. The song appears on the group's most recent release, "The Sea Of Memories", which was the first BUSH disc to be released via the band's own imprint, Zuma Rock Records. "The Sound Of Winter" also holds the distinction of being the reunited group's first No. 1 single since 1999's chart-topping hit "The Chemicals Between Us".
Over the course of their career, BUSH has sold more than 16 million albums in the U.S. and Canada alone. They've also compiled an amazing string of 15 consecutive Top 40 hit singles on the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, including 11 that hit the Top 5. Five of these became No. 1 hits: "Comedown", "Glycerine", "Swallowed", "The Chemicals Between Us" and "The Sound Of Winter". In 2008, Rossdale returned to the top of the charts with his solo single, "Love Remains The Same", which hit No. 1 on iTunes and generated more than 1.6 million downloads.

Knocking down shots against the Indiana Pacers was supposed to be the hard part for the Atlanta Hawks in this opening-round series. And yet, in Game 1, the Hawks found themselves losing by nearly 20 points despite shooting 50 percent from the field.
If the Hawks want to avoid another early exit from the postseason this year, it appears they'll have to do more than simply shoot well to beat the Pacers.
Though Indiana is known for its stiff defense, it was the general physicality of the Pacers that left Atlanta overwhelmed in the opening game. Whether it was attacking the basket or fighting for rebounds, the Pacers were more aggressive and more physical, helping to offset the Hawks' superior shooting.
If the Hawks can't win a game when shooting well, how can they keep up in this series? Here are three questions to break down Game 2.
1. Can the Hawks get to the charity stripe?
In the first game of the series, the Hawks shot significantly better from the floor than their opponents and took only two fewer shot attempts. How did the Pacers make the game so darn lopsided then, you ask? Free throws.
Not only did the Hawks get destroyed in terms of trips to the charity stripe, they struggled to capitalize on their infrequent opportunities. Shooting well from the field isn't nearly as important when you're 7-of-14 from the free throw line while your opponents are 30-of-34.
Paul George alone was 17-of-18 from the charity stripe in Game 1, more than doubling the number of makes than Atlanta put up. It's pretty hard to win games when you give the other team a 23-point advantage solely in terms of free throws.
2. Will the Pacers keep dominating the boards?
No team in the NBA crashed the boards better than Indiana this season. Per NBA.com, the Pacers were tops in the league in rebounding rate, thanks to active players like George, Roy Hibbert and David West. Meanwhile, the Hawks were in the bottom five in rebounding rate this season.
As the facts lay out pretty clearly, the Hawks will have a tough time competing on the boards in this series. This reality was fleshed out in the opening game, as the Pacers crushed the Hawks in rebounding, 48-32, while getting numerous extra opportunities from their 15 offensive rebounds.
Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver and Devin Harris combined to play 99 total minutes in Game 1. They combined for five rebounds.
Al Horford can't do this all by himself.
3. Will someone step up for Atlanta?
In Game 1, it was Indiana's George that came through with the big performance, riding his many trips to the free throw line to an impressive triple-double with 23 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. The Hawks will likely need someone to emerge and be the man in this series if they want to keep it going.
Though they all recorded decent statistics, Atlanta's best players -- Horford, Teague, Josh Smith -- weren't able to carry the team in Game 1. Teague finished with a team-leading 21 points and seven assists, but the two big men combined to go 0-of-3 from the free throw line, reflecting an inability to force the issue in the post.
If the Hawks are going to pile up points against Indiana, they're going to need their best players to step up with big scoring performances. Expecting guys like Korver and Harris to carry the load simply won't work.

Scout.com is reporting in a premium story (the linked header is free) that Michigan defensive end Anthony La Lota is transferring to Rutgers. A product of The Hun School, Rivals.com ranked La Lota a four-star prospect and the #2 prospect in the state of New Jersey in a loaded 2009 class. However, there's definitely reason for pessimism about this transfer. Transfer players usually seem to wash out at Rutgers or other programs. La Lota had ridiculous potential in high school, but was very raw and had little production, basically turning into a top prospect because Terry Bowden found his film and told everybody. More importantly, he ought to be playing offensive line. Even Michigan fans, who were in denial on that point for a while, are now largely in agreement. La Lota has wanted to play DE in the past, and not only was that a bad fit, it's impossible to imagine someone with that size frame playing DE in a Greg Schiano defense. It would be shocking if LaLota didn't move to offensive tackle or guard here.

Henry Purcell: Fantazias and In Nomines (ca. 1680) for viol consort. Written when the composer was only around 22, these pieces demonstrate a complete internalization of tradition, particularly of Elizabethan vocal polyphony, but they look ahead at all points. Purcell was able to take a small number of ideas, motives if you like, and string them into a tight but continuously refreshed network. With only a couple of variation techniques -- simple transposition and inversion -- his focus was on the juxtaposition and succession of those ideas, so that each of the lines has its own contour, yet the genetic resemblance is ever present. This is music that looks ahead to later, invertible, counterpoint, yet is paradoxically both more primitive, in its tonal wanderings, and more supple in its combinational virtuosity.
Purcell was not the inventor of the viol consort and its (can I say it?) ravishing sound, but the Fantazias are a substantial part of the viol repertoire, and the progressive character of these pieces is suggestive of one of those future paths that music history happens not to have followed. (The historical viol consort effectively ends with Purcell, although the bass viol and its variants were still to have their day as solo and continuo bass instruments). But AFAIC, the potential of the viol consort to play a role in another new music is far from exhausted.
(It is cheating a bit to take all of the Fantazias and the In Nomines, but - aside from a bit more admiration for the compositional skill shown by the three-voice Fantazias - choosing among the collection is impossible. The list-maker here is also the rule-maker, so all of them may stay.)
A displaced Californian composer writes about music made for the long while & the world around that music. ~ The avant-garde is flexibility of mind. — John Cage ~ ...composition is only a very small thing, taken as a part of music as a whole, and it really shouldn't be separated from music making in general. — Douglas Leedy ~ My God, what has sound got to do with music! — Charles Ives

Hi teachers
Which one is correct?
Jack was disappointed in the results / on the results.
Is "in the results" correct?
Can I use " by the results " instead?
Thank you very much.
Happy New Year!
I'd use 'with' or 'by'. I don't like in/on- the preposition is dependent on 'disappointed'.
Let's take these sentences for example and you can find out what prep you should use
1.We were deeply disappointed at/about the result.
2.His parents were bitterly disappointed in/with him.
3.[+ (that)] She was disappointed (that) they hadn't phoned.
4.[+ to infinitive] He was disappointed to find they'd already gone.
5.If you're expecting Dad to let you borrow his car, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
The prep is denpendent on the adj "disappointed"
PS: Happy new year

Specific Ways to Cut One's Grass

Specific Ways to Cut One's Grass
Yup.. we all know what is meant by mowing the lawn, or getting your lawn mowed, or wanting to Mow That Lawn But the question I have is what is behind all this controversy about how to properly mow one's lawn.
This was brought up to me by a friends wife who came over and saw my lawn just after I finished mowing. She noted that I was not one of them circle guys who just goes around and around... And that I mowed somewhat correctly.. almost in a Cross-Hatched Tartan pattern.. Herringbone or what have you...
Like what is the big deal about mowing at 45 degrees across one's lawn for the whole lawn and then at the opposing 45 degrees for the whole lawn...
When you have as much grass as I have, I cannot see how it matters. All I care about is not so much nap, but thatch.. or even training the grass to grow one way only. I have lots of fruit trees, grape vines and flower beds not to mention my Pine Trees, Maples, Birches and my gardens.. so I mow around these items.. most of which are circular, semi-circular or ellipses, some are ovoids and some are more rectangular.. but I mow around them.. 3 or 4 passes or more depending onw how I feel. Then I edge etc., and such. Next time I do it, I may, repeat may.. run in the opposite direction.. but that may or may not occur.. again depends how I feel.
And no.. this isn't a pooh raising post.. it actually is a real question.. Enquiring Minds need to know..

You asked, so here goes!
One reason to alter your mowing pattern is simply cosmetic. It looks different (some would say better)!
Another reason, much more important, is that by altering your mowing patter you do not concentrate soil compaction in the same place time after time after time. I have one small area of my lawn, that due to the size and shape of both the lawn and my mower, that requires me to travel in the same pattern each time. I can easily pick out the tracks my CC1450 leaves, at any time of the year, provided there is no snow cover. By mowing in at least 4 different patterns, you reduce the negative impacts of soil compaction.
Finally, you mentioned thatch buildup. From one of my trusty Ohio State University Extension FactSheets, I quote,
One more thing, for a healthy lawn - when mowing, do not remove more that one third of the leaf blade.
Enjoy Rudi!
"The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop." Edwin Conklin, biologist
I agree with you 100%. Those are all reasons why I do not vaccum my lawn.. I do not pick up clippings, but remow em.. I let them decompose on the lawn. People ask me what I do to keep my lawns full and green.. I tell em nothing but leave my clippings on the lawn. I also ensure that the grass blades remain about 1-1/2" to 2" in length. I do not like short grass as it turns brown way too fast.. and you actually hurt the grass when you cut it too close to the ground. I dislike scalping as well, which is the 2nd reason why I roll my lawn in the spring -- the 1st reason is to get rid of the frost heaves and mole tracks..
I also will collect my clippings when I am reseeding or seeding a new patch of lawn or green area ... and use that as seed cover to help germinate... that kind of thing. I let it sit in the trailer for a bit.. let it get hot and start to work, then spread it right on top of the seeds about 1/8" thick. Keeps the birds off the seed too.
But I guess my question is in relation to why people do this stuff with the patterns and then insist it is the only way.. a lot of misinformation or old wive's tales floating around about stuff like that.

When I laid out our place I didn't forsee the doctors telling my to not ride on tractors. I mowed for years with a 6' belly mower without live PTO. It worked fine since once I let the clutch and got the mower spinning I rarely stopped since I had eliminated all the blind corners. There is a red gum tree strategically planted in the center of the largest area, so starting there and mowing outward gets it done efficiently. All other landscaping is outside the circle and will eventually be allowed to go back to the wildlife.
Our grandson who's been doing the mowing will leave for college soon so Marilyn and I will have to manage.
I'm sure you can find our place in this satelite image.

Years past I would p-u grass clippings to put in garden to keep weeds down!!Now I cultivate and let the grass clippings lay.We have neighbors that have big yards and manicured lawns.If you have the time [or money to pay for]They look great!!!!!I live in a old farm house [1860] and just keep up on keeping it cut.I like a Thursday cut so I'm no cutting on the weekend.Execpt next two weeks I'm gone thursday for tractor events.Can't wait !!!!!Kevin nice pic George of the homestead
47 CUB[Krusty] 49 CUB[Ollie] 50 H-- PLOWS DISCS MOWERS AND lots more stuff!!Life is to short -Have fun now cause ya ain't gonna be here long!!!!
Well.. that is a nice shot of the house I likes it.. wow.. what a nice piece of property. Well laid out, and very neat. And I see the gum tree.
I am assuming you saved the pic in the raw form then renamed to .jpg for posting? I should do the same for mine.. I just might.
I feel for you my friend.. I truly do. I find that not only is mowing the grass relaxing, it is my private time to think, not think, meditate, not meditate.. do what I wish. Sometimes it is just to recite Mass.. and sometimes I listen to my tunes... and sometimes I just listen to the sound of my tractors.. all in all, some of the most relaxing time I get. I do hope and pray that thing will get easier and you may be able to resume some of those simple pleasures as your health improves. Our prayers are constantly with you and Marilyn.
Kevin, I agree.. no need for fancy smancy.. just keep it neat and pretty and all is well with the world.

Since i finally setup my INT154 cub with its 3260 deck correctly with a new front roller and added rear deck wheels I'm finally getting a golf course mowed finish on my lawn now. Now my point is I mow in one big continous circle all the time but i have noticed if i crosscut again after making one pass it looks even better. Its like honing hatch pattern and my lawn has the perfect crew cut look to it too.
Keep the shiney side up and the blades sharp too!!!!! I'm with you on this one!!!!
I just put down some fertilizer and some kentucky blue to start my reseed program since i have the INT 154 cub to mow with now. This fall as soon as the grass dies its going to get a ground up compost treatment too. I'm looking for that perfect kentucky blue lawn now.
I watch so many use chemicals to treat dandallions when all you have to do is to use grass seed and drive them out with grass!!!!!
I cut my grass two or three times a week now. It takes me 60 minutes with my cub cadet 122 or 35 minutes with my int154 cub. When my fruit trees/ forest trees finally grow my 122 will be used for trimming.

I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
I don't believe your explanation about non-stop mowing for one minute. Do you realize there is a crop circle with a biological antenna in the center directly behind your house??? Perhaps this unusual feature is a supernatural phenonemum marking the known center of the Cub universe. Besides, the last several nights I see the cresent shaped light in the western sky last night and it slowly heads towards Ohio as the night wears on. Last night, the light was twice as big as the night before - what does that mean? Shhh, do you hear the voices - what are they trying to say????
Sorry, my tin foil cap slipped off. Mowing in circles sure is easier than trying to mow a triangle.

Mowing with my cub/cub cadets is like motorcycle riding its the bonding of man with the machine.

I had forgotten that these were uploaded to the server a couple of years ago. This is a pic of the yard with the resolution set ar approximately 1300 feet. Not too shabby. My yard is the one with the kidney shaped water hole..... it is a narrow strip.. 1 acre wide, but it is almost a mile long.
As you can see we have been doing some landscaping. Since that time much of it has been greened over, the brook now has many Brookies returning to it yearly and we think there has been a spawn or two.. which makes me happy. I have been trying to bring this section of the brook back to a viable fish habitat for 15 years now.. we might be succeeding a bit..
At about 600 foot resolution, you can clearly see the dock and the old fountain. It is pretty amazing what sat cams can do these days. I used to be totally impressed with KeyHole and BigBird shots.. but for civilian remote spacial based mapping, this is pretty amazing.
One can almost see the Brook and Rainbow jumping

I don't really worry too much about mowing patterns, this was my place last summer, and if we don't get some rain will be again soon.

Man, I just don't get it. I'm not getting any younger, so I keep thinking of an easier way to do things. Mowing grass is one of them.
This is where I grew up. The large body of water is my favorite fishing hole. I try to go home to visit as much as I can to go fishing with my Dad, and the nephews. Back when I was a kid, I push mowed the entire yard. Now of course, my Dad uses a finish mower.
I now have about 5 acres, my place is the one with large white roofed barn behind it, and I try my best to not have to mow every week. And here I'm thinking of building a new home up at the in-laws farm and have 60-100 acres to tend to

Ok Rudi, educate this farm boy. "1 acre wide" Acre (or hectare) is a measure of area, so how does one measure "1 acre wide?"

Yup, you are correct .. but it is how people here measure the width when describing a parcel.. not exactly correct, but works for em.. I just sort of picked up the practice even though it is not exactly correct.... I think the property is approx 216x4864 thereyabouts.. almost a mile long.

It has been more than 12 years since Chuck Bovis' last wager and he is doing his best to keep it that way.
Bovis, a recovering addict and certified gambling counselor from Indianapolis, spoke at a town hall meeting Thursday night at Dessert First in Logansport about his recovering gambling addiction.
Four County Counseling Center, who sponsored the meeting, was one of three agencies in the state offering a program during National Problem Gambling Awareness Week, which is March 3 to March 9.
Bovis, who said his gambling was unconscious, gambled daily from his late 20s into his 40s.
"I've hit many rock bottoms in my life," Bovis said. "There's always a trapdoor to take you down another level, just like any addiction."
Four County Counseling had the meeting to discuss gambling addiction and the fact it's apparent everywhere, Kathy Coffing, gambling counselor at Four County Counseling said.
"Gambling addiction is a newly recognized addiction and is a fast growing problem," Coffing, who has been counselor for two years said. "We want to be able to make the public aware of the gambling problem, that is an almost hidden problem."
During the meeting, Bovis discussed two types of gamblers, action and escape. He described an action gambler as someone who talks about their wins and is more about the bells and whistles and an escape gambler, someone who hides and doesn't want people to know about it.
When most people think about gambling they think poker, casinos and the lottery, Coffing said. They don't think about Bingo, Bunco, pull-tabs and athletic bracket competitions like those used in the NCAA tournament, she said.
Jose Flores, of Avon, spoke at the meeting about the damage caused by gambling. He discussed how people can lose everything when they gamble.
"Those addicted to gambling aren't bad people, they're sick people doing bad things," Flores said. "When people look from the outside they can't understand why the person doesn't just stop. It's a lifelong program."
Flores referred to addiction as an illness.
In 1978, there were only two states that had legalized gambling and in 1998, 20 years later, there were only two states without some form of gambling.
"It's easy to see gambling events as a social event," Coffing said. "We don't want to give the message anyone who plays will be addicted because not everyone who participates are at-risk. But there are people who will have those impulsive, compulsive behaviors."
Six million adults and 500,000 teens nationwide meet the criteria for gambling addiction, Coffing said.
Four County has offered gambling services for about six years and has been recognized as the state provider for services in the state of Indiana for the past two years.
Four County Counseling offers free services for people dealing with gambling addiction and their families.
Coffing said she has seen families fall apart because of an addiction to gambling where the person addicted gambled money away and lost relationships to people surrounding them. Four County Counseling offers help to not only those addicted, but their families as well.
Dick Farrer, of Four County Counseling Center, said they want to let people know there are ways to get help before they hit rock bottom.
"Communities have made it so hard to get help for an addiction," Farrer said. "There might be people who didn't attend the meeting because they didn't want to show they have a problem. We can and want to help."
Bovis closed the meeting by talking about the support that can be found at meetings like the one Thursday for gambling addiction.
"There will always be a stigma with attending meetings and getting help," Bovis said. "But it is better than it used to be and it is now accepted as an illness."

Think twice about paying off your old credit card debt, bills or vacations with your 401k plan. It may seem convenient, but it could put your retirement goals in serious jeopardy.
The economy added only 18,000 jobs in June, far below the number predicted by most economists. Unemployment is now sitting at 9.2 percent. This news is a good reason not to borrow from your 401k retirement plan, which can break your investment growth momentum.
Money grows over time. If you are investing regularly, time is your friend. If you withdrawal your money from your 401k, you are missing out on some serious growth opportunities linked to the ups and downs of the stock market. This could mean the difference between having $50,000 and $500,000 in retirement savings.
Don't forget: If you leave your job, do you have to pay off any 401k loans, because that loan is tied to your employment. At some point, you will be leaving your employer. Regardless of how or when you leave, the loan will need to be repaid pretty quickly.
If you don't repay a 401k loan within 60 days of leaving your current employer, the IRS will view the remaining amount due as a distribution, or withdrawal. Unless you are at least 59 ½ years of age, you will be taxed at your current tax rate plus 10 percent for an early withdrawal penalty.
For most Americans, a 401k account will become the major asset for their retirement. Recent reports show that Americans are saving about 5 percent of disposable income. Most American need to save between 15 and 20 percent or more of disposable income to keep up with the cost of living and investment losses over the last several years.
If you really need money for an emergency or crisis, consider contacting a close family member or friend that you know that can help you. It's cheaper — and you don't have to touch your retirement funds or go to a bank.

We were disappointed with some of the Avalon spin in their brochures. A prominent feature in the 2011 brochure was an on-line service called my Avalon where passengers could book tours and other packages. After paying for our trip we tried to make use of this feature to be told that it was not available in Australia but we could join up to globus and make bookings that way. We tried this to receive Emails back from Globus that this is not so.( Aussies beware).
Another prominent promoted feature was free Wi-Fi on board. This was true but hardly ever worked and often neither did the on board vessel terminals. We feel that in this day of modern communication this is not good enough. Travellers from Australia don't duck over to Europe for a week and maybe a little more. Travelling 12500 kms from home it is normal to go for on average at least 4 weeks and during that time there is a need and desire to remain in contact with family. we were hoping to have regular contact with ours and to be able to see our Grandson on Skype.
Generally the food was good but not much variety and did not match the gourmet level suggested.The cruise was pleasant but in no way matched our expectations from the promotion material. We were booked for a second Avalon Cruise in early September on The Avalon Luminary on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel in Switzerland which will be reported separately. We would say the scenery crew were superior and more customer friendly than the crew on the Luminary. Again a pleasant cruise but unlikely to do another. We would dearly like to port reports but the river cruise ports are not included on the list of ports. Trips to the old Roman aqueduct, 'Pont Neuf" out of Avignon and Vienne during 700 year celebrations of the Knights Templar were standout tours.

The state awarded Delphi part of a $20 million grant last year through the Stellar Communities program, which was established to help fund development projects in smaller communities. While final amounts are still being determined, Delphi is preparing by drafting a series of plans to address its downtown area, infrastructure and other projects.
Check out a picture of the various projects here
Delphi Mayor Randy Strasser spoke on the city's Stellar grant at the State of the City, County and Towns addresses in Delphi Monday.
"As we continue on with our Stellar Communities program, one of the things we're going to be doing in the next year is educating everyone on what Stellar is going to be brining to the community," Strasser said.
Kevin Kologinsky, community development director for Delphi, said he was thankful for the state government's assistance.
"I think our government takes all kinds of tax money and we're just like baby birds chirping for a worm, trying to get some of it back," Kologinsky said with a laugh. "In the good old days, cities used to raise their own taxes and do their own thing."
One of the projects the city is planning to pursue in the next couple months entails rehabilitating owner-occupied homes throughout the city.
According to the city of Delphi's website, many of the homes to be restored date back to the 1800s. By restoring them, the city hopes to maintain their historic value while improving their aesthetics.
Kologinsky said improvements to houses will include replacing roofs, windows, porches, siding and gutters along with putting in insulation and installing heating and air conditioning systems.
"We're hoping the city looks prettier and inspires others to clean up their properties," Kologinsky said.
Another project the city is planning to take on this summer is to create a pedestrian trail accompanying the vehicular connection leading from the Hoosier Heartland Highway. The trail will go through the downtown area to the city's Canal Center.
"It becomes kind of a history trail," Kologinsky said, adding that it will pass by several historic landmarks through the city, like the downtown area, the courthouse and opera house before concluding at the historic Canal Center.
Kologinsky said the entrance of the trail into the city will consist of an overhead concrete viaduct.
"It will be like a welcome portal to the city," Kologinsky said, adding that the city intends to garden the banks on the sides of the viaduct, hang banners and install old-style light posts.
Kologinsky said the trail, which is currently in the design stage, will be eight feet wide and made with pavers.
Also under the motive of enhancing pedestrians' experience throughout the city is a downtown streetscape project, in which new streetlights, sidewalks, curbs, pavement, brick paver accents and street furniture will be installed along six blocks of the downtown area. The city is currently working on a design for this project and preparing to find out what environmental work needs to be done.
Currently in the design phase is a project aiming to convert vacant upper floors of downtown buildings into loft apartments. The city of Delphi's website states residents of these lofts would be conveniently located near area services, as one building the city is looking to do this in is within a half block of the courthouse square and a half block from a downtown grocery store.
Strasser said working toward the rehabilitation of the community was something very important to him.
"My main objective when working with the city council and business people has actually been in the rebuilding of the community," Strasser said.
According to the city's website, Delphi has spent years trying to restore downtown building facades but has lacked the funds to do so. With last year's awarding of the Stellar Communities, grant, that will no longer be the case. The city's website goes on to state there are around 44 downtown buildings eligible for funding.
Kologinsky said architects started working with business owners Monday to come up with plans on what they want to pursue for their buildings' exteriors. He said the plans range from replacing windows or awnings to replacing entire storefronts.
Delphi is also looking to restore its historic opera house. With the restoration of the building's facade, roof and three ground-level retail bays already completed, the city is also planning to double the size of the 10,800 square foot structure, ultimately turning it into a 200-seat theater and gathering space with banquet facilities, dressing rooms and multipurpose areas.
Kologinsky said the opera house project along with several others come from a desire to preserve the city's historic significance.
"There is something intangible about a community with a historic feel that every one loves," Kologinsky said. "That's what we're trying to bring back. We would have been passed by the Hoosier Heartland bypass unless we could create a reason to come here and the reason is going to be heritage tourism."

Very useful and flexible with good use of Toodledo.
Really powerful and easy to use task manager !! Thanks !
Excelente programa. Justo lo que necesitaba para todas mis tareas laborales y personales. Muchas gracias.
I think this program has great potential and an assured future as a top personal organizer. I'm using the Windows version that needs a bit of work on it but nothing that won't come good in time. I'm not using the synchronization feature as I work alone. I really like the flexibility that allows me to design my own workflow. Everyone has their own individual workflow procedures and this program allows individuals to tailor the system to their own needs. Fantastic! Thank you, Benjamin, for bringing us this great program.
A great organizer with a functional program fee! Thanks to the authors! Now I just do not forget to do :)

One week from Friday, massive federal spending cuts will go into effect, if Congress can't reach a deal.
One economist says Albany would take a big hit from sequestration.
Without a budget agreement, $55-billion in mandatory defense cuts and $54-billion in non-defensive cuts over 10-years would begin next week.
Some experts say across the board cuts that deep would cripple the nation's economy.
Darton State Economics professor Aaron Johnson says Albany may feel the effects more than most cities.
"A lot of these cuts are going to impact low income households, the ones that are most vulnerable. It's going to hit seniors much more than any other segment and I think our community is going to be impacted worse than other communities," said Johnson.
Albany could also take a big hit because those major defense cuts would hurt the Marine Corps Logistics Base which is one of the area's largest employers and a major economic engine for South Georgia.
Businesses that depend on MCLB are concerned about the looming cuts.
Aaron Johnson says some contractors could lose their jobs, but he doesn't think the impact at the Marine Base would be as severe as at many other base's in the country.
The manager of one bar near MCLB worries any cuts there could hurt her business.
"I think it's going to have a great impact on us. We get a lot of business from people at the base and if they cut these people's job we're likely not to see them, so that's definitely going to hurt our business. Hopefully they can keep their jobs so we can keep ours," said Benchwarmers manager Melissa Cyree.
She says many regulars at Benchwarmers are base employees and new workers at the base often check out her bar.
She worries that could end if the base endures major cuts.

Republican Mark Obenshain conceded the race for Virginia attorney general to Democrat Mark Herring.
A Republican source confirmed to First Read Obenshain's intention shortly before the 3 pm ET announcement. Herring's win gives Democrats control of all five statewide elected offices in Virginia for the first time since 1969.
The announcement took place at the General Assembly Building in Richmond, VA.
Herring went into a recount leading by 165 votes out of two million cast. Herring's lead grew after Fairfax County completed its recount.
First Read DMV: "Obenshain made the announcement following the release of the recount results in Fairfax County, which left Obenshain with 117,722 votes to Herring's 185,538. Fairfax County is Virginia's largest jurisdiction. The county's results represent an increase of 575 votes for Herring and an increase of 297 votes for Obenshain."

Stories of Hope Fill New Book by Habitat Founder
Americus, Ga. - August 17, 1999 - Since 1976, Habitat for Humanity International and its many local affiliates have worked tirelessly to tackle one of the world's greatest problems – poverty housing and homelessness.
Now the success of their efforts is being told through the words and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people touched by this worldwide Christian housing ministry.
More than Houses, the new book by Habitat for Humanity president Millard Fuller, shares the personal stories of lives and neighborhoods being transformed by the organization he and his wife Linda founded 23 years ago.
Through the most basic of human needs – a simple, decent affordable place in which to live – Habitat helps people with little or no hope develop a bright, new future.
Fuller tells the true stories of children who gained identity, confidence and academic success after moving into the "houses that love built." Of families made stronger and healthier and of prison inmates who are now giving back to their communities. Of entire neighborhoods united by hard work and mutual respect. Of denominational, political and racial barriers falling with every swing of the hammer. Of the giving hearts of young people engaged in the quest to end poverty housing and of amazing spiritual transformations.
More than Houseschronicles the transformation of lives, communities and families – one person, one home at a time. These heartwarming revelations stand as a testament of love in action and the fulfillment of the hopes of Habitat supporters around the world – to build more than houses.
"What Habitat does is much more than just sheltering people," Fuller said. "It's what it does for people on the inside. It's that intangible quality of hope. Many people without decent housing consider themselves life's losers. A Habitat house is the first victory they may have ever had. And it changes them."
The book, released in August by Word Publishing, is available from many retail booksellers or from Habitat for Humanity International's order department by calling (800) 284-8530.
It is the seventh book written by Fuller. Among his previous titles isTheology of the Hammer, the compelling, ecumenical explanation of how Habitat brings together a wide diversity of people, churches and other organizations to build houses for people of all races, religions and backgrounds and in the process establish viable and dynamic communities. Other books by Fuller includeA Simple, Decent Place to Live; The Excitement is Building, co-authored with his wife Linda;Love in the Mortar Joints;No More Shacks!andBokotola.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat invites people from all walks of life to work together in partnership to help build houses with families in need. Habitat has built almost 80,000 houses around the world, providing some 400,000 people in more than 2,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter.

Are there any definite rules for using articles with the noun 'weather', apart from the restriction on 'a'?
E.g. He doesn't like to go out in cold weather. (zero article)
People like to talk about the weather. (the definite article)
In both sentences 'weather' has a general meaning, however the choices of article are different. Why?

One Austin-based company helped give the Austin Police Department's struggling Operation Blue Santa program a big boost on Wednesday.
Whale Shark Media donated $15,000 worth of products that would go towards funding the program, and helping the APD ensure that needy children in the area would have a merry Christmas.
Two APD officers, in a race against time, ran through the Costco in south Austin and grabbed as much as they could fit into their shopping carts. They picked up as many toys as they could that would benefit the children of the more than five thousand families who will receive a gift from Blue Santa this year.
Some of the big-ticket items grabbed by the officers will be auctioned off, and those funds will be used to buy more toys. Blue Santa spokesman Joe Munoz told FOX 7 that the donation from Whale Shark Media and the shopping spree will make a big difference this Christmas for many families.
"Blue Santa was already in a predicament where we were starting to go into our reserves, but we know this community is great and we know people here care about what we do," said Munoz.
This year, Operation Blue Santa is also stepping up to fill the role left by the criminal misconduct investigation into the Christmas Bureau. Blue Santa is still collecting toys and donations, and will begin delivering gifts to families on December 15th.

These visits include physical measurements, patient history, behavioral assessments, and any recommended procedures (immunizations, screenings, and other tests).
Well-child visits are also a chance to raise questions and concerns about your child's development, behavior, and general well-being – questions that may be difficult to discuss during sick visits.

Akamai will offer IPv6 services to its entire customer base in April -- a long-awaited move that will be a major boon to the adoption rate of the next-generation Internet Protocol.
Carrying between 20 percent and 30 percent of the Internet's Web traffic on any given day, Akamai is the world's largest CDN (content delivery network). Akamai's engineering team has been working for two years to upgrade its 95,000 servers in 71 countries connected by 1,900 networks to support IPv6.
[ Get expert networking how-to advice from InfoWorld's Networking Deep Dive PDF special report. | Keep up on the latest networking news with our Technology: Networking newsletter. ]
"We're highly supportive of IPv6," says Mike Cucchi, director of product marketing for Akamai. "We're a large consumer of IP addresses as well, so there are internal drivers. We need and want IPv6 addresses as well as just supporting the Internet community as it migrates to IPv6."
MORE: IPv6 due for wide deployment in 2012, experts say
IPv6 is an upgrade to the Internet's main communications protocol, which is called IPv4.
IPv6 features an expanded addressing scheme that can support billions of devices connected directly to the Internet. But IPv6 is not backward compatible with IPv4, which is running out of addresses. Network operators can either support both protocols in what's called dual-stack mode or translate between IPv4 and IPv6.
In April, Akamai will announce built-in support for IPv6 in its three major product lines: Aqua for consumer-oriented services, Terra for enterprises and Sola for media companies. Companies will be able to upgrade to these application-as-a-service offerings in a matter of days, rather than spending weeks or months upgrading their own Web servers to support IPv6.
``We know IPv6 is part of doing business on the Internet, and we're going to include it on all of our platforms,'' Cucchi says.
Akamai hoped to release its production-grade IPv6 services by the end of 2011, but the task proved more difficult than originally anticipated. Akamai has been beta testing its IPv6 services with key customers since last fall.
BACKGROUND: Akamai: Why our IPv6 upgrade is harder than Google's
Akamai's support for IPv6 will make it easier for its media and enterprise customers to serve up Web content to Internet users that have IPv6-only addresses, which is increasingly common in Asia and Europe. Among Akamai's customers are Apple, Lands' End, Ticketmaster, Travelocity, and XM Satellite Radio. Akamai delivers more than 5 terabits/sec of Web traffic per day.
We want to act as a translator," Cucchi says. "Our customers can leverage Akamai through these transitional times. ... We can terminate IPv6 requests at the edge and send forth IPv4 to the data center environment. Our future roadmap will have a two-way translation that occurs."
