I want to extend my backyard out a little. I have a french drain that is covered in crush stone that currently marks the perimeter of my lawn right now. I want to excavate some of the stone, put down some landscape fabric, and then put topsoil on top and plant more grass so it's level with the rest of my yard. The other option is going over the top with soil where it is now but that would take up a lot more, be more work, and change the entire grade of my backyard.
How thick does the topsoil layer have to be? I think I might be able to get 6" of topsoil there right now. Is 6" enough for grass to grow? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is landscape fabric that stuff that blocks weeds from coming up but also blocks roots from going down? If so, 6" is probably a minimum. I've dug down a foot or more and still found strong grass roots. That was with KBG and/or Fescue. Why are you putting down the landscape fabric? With 6 inches of soil, it's not likely that any seeds will germinate and grow through the 6 inches of new soil, is it? |
I think he is doing that to prevent the new soil from immediately dropping lower into the gravel and sand, which I think is a good idea to keep the septic system working for awhile, but eventually I imagine that it will all drop down there, and the septic may fail. Having a septic system myself, I don't see any alternative. |
Paul--Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see anything about a septic system. |
No you didn't, it was me. |
No septic system. I want to take the crushed stone from the top and fill it in with dirt. So underneat the dirt will be landscape fabric and hten about 2' of crushed rock. I was wondering if 6" was sufficient to grow grass on. |

Six inches of soil is plenty, BUT...please explain why you want to use landscape fabric. Nobody uses landscape fabric under turf, so I'm wondering why you think you should. |
I'm putting it on top of the french drain to prevent it from clogging fast. You are supposed to apparently from what I've read online. IN other words i have a 12" trench of rocks and landscape fabric on top, soil on that, then grass. This prevents the soil from going into the french drain and clogging it up. |
I understand what you are trying to accomplish, the optimal way of doing this would have been to use the fabric sleeve that go around the entire pipe because it will be difficult to ensure that the fabric stays in place anyway. If you have an opening through which to clear blockages(i.e. run a snake through ) your best option may be to make sure that the river rock in the trench is compact and in place and place top soil over top of it lightly and spead you seed. The grass will cover the trench soon enough without a lot of work and time that might not get you very much benefit anyway. |
I think the pipe is in fact wrapped in filter fabric. anyways, it's already done. The dirt is down over the drain so :) |
If the pipe is wrapped in fabric then there isn't or in this case wasn't a need to put the landscape fabric over top. |
i too want to grow grass, above ground on my Terrace, which is composite (plastic) boards with a 1/4" gap between that floats about 6" above a flat membrane roof which is all new construction. i was thinking that i would lay down a root barrier fabric, then a moisture mat and build it up with dirt to 7" to then grow my grass. is this a sound plan? |

Lauren Conrad's sexy updo has a smooth, side-swept fringe and a few wavy pieces in front to frame her face.
Styling Tip
Start with dry, wavy hair. Create a side-part and push your bangs to the other side. Leave your bangs and several bits out in front and gather your length low in back. Twist the length until the hair buckles upon itself to form a bun. Tuck the ends in and pin the bun into place. Spritz with hairspray to lock in your look.

Planners missed an opportunity, Sanfillipo said.
"It would have been really hopping but they did not do that," he said.
There are other gambling opportunities — and the potential produce sales that go with it — in Columbus. Scioto Downs, the state's first "racino" — a blend of racing and casino betting – also opened in 2012. The venue features 1,800 slot-like devices, as well as horse racing.
Not all suppliers do business directly with gambling spots, but they say their businesses can benefit indirectly.
Pavlofsky, for example, said his company doesn't do any business with the casinos, but ProduceOne does sell to restaurants that have taken root near the gambling venues.

Video: Epilogue 2013 – The Iceman Returns
Since I made Prelude and the 2012 year review, Kimi Raikkonen's 2013 season is continued in this video titled 'Epilogue'. The Iceman's comeback with Lotus in 2012 was great for Formula 1 and look at how time flies… It's nearly 2014 already and perhaps the final chapter in Kimi's career is about to begin with a return to the scene of his greatest glory, at Ferrari. But this video is ultimately about 2013 and my way of saying Happy Christmas to you guys.
Enjoy the movie! It was non-stop, day/night work I tell ya! Sit back and get your speakers ready but you might want to grab a drink/popcorn first as this is 11 minutes long!

Video: Prelude – The Iceman Returns
Hi guys! As a little Christmas gift to you all, I have a new video! This is the introduction to my upcoming video The Iceman Returns, dedicated to Kimi Raikkonen's F1 comeback. It tells his story after leaving F1, taking part in the WRC and NASCAR, then making a return to the pinnacle of motorsport successfully. It's my interpretation and I've tried to make this video with a story to it :)
Hope you like it! The second part will be online a few days before 2013 arrives. Until then, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

From the KRS Archive: 2009 Brazil Highlights
Hey you ice-soldiers, we're approaching the end of the 2012 F1 season – didn't that go fast?! I still couldn't quite believe it when Kimi was confirmed returning to F1 with Lotus back in January. But here we are; 19 races down (most consecutive races completed by Kimi – new record!) and we head to the season finale in Brazil this weekend. Brazil has always produced some crazy races while deciding the drivers' championship; we can never forget the miracle of ice-cool Kimi going against the odds and winning the title there with Ferrari in 2007. But it was in 2009, where the Iceman literally caught fire in a bizarre incident during the race. So, I fancied sharing this video of the 2009 Brazilian GP, enjoy!

Disney's Ghosts of Mistwood
- Release Date:
- Publisher: Playdom
- Developer: Playdom
- Genre: Advneture RPG
- Official Site
Disney's Ghosts of Mistwood is a free-to-play Facebook game with all the trappings of a great adventure RPG. The game starts with a family letter from your aunt who wanted you back to the family estate for company, as some strange was happening. While you return, you only find darkness envelop the area but no trace of your aunt. You begin to search around a little. And the adventure thusly begins.
You will rescue the investigator your aunt hired from a mausoleum, then talk to the cursed gipsy via the crystal balls, run into a restless ghost wandering around, and piece together the info you get to come to the fact that your aunt is kidnapped by the Dark Spirit, the bad guy who also trapped all the innocent people here. The people you free will become your helpers who guide you to tidy up the estate, clear the surrounding fogs, rescue more characters and search for clues of finding Mrs. Mistwood finally.
You can't go anywhere without supplies, tools, meds, magical potions and all that required to defeat the dark spirit. Therefore, you need to restore the family estate first while getting more helpers before you are ready to take on the evil. There are a lot of things for you and your helpers to do – clear the dead trees, wild grass and stones, grow trees, sage, cloves, etc. and harvest them for different materials, feed a variety of creatures like owl, fox and bat and gain different materials, craft different items, mine and craft metals, break mausoleums to free more, and explore outside to discover more clues, and so on and so forth.
Almost every act in the game, yours or your helpers', takes time to complete ranging from seconds to hours. As in most games, the required time for completion shows increasing tendency as you unlock high level contents. You can shorten the labor by using Gold or Magic, the former being premium currency while the latter gain-able by growing clovers. So don't let your men idle. Hard work can quicken time-consuming projects like mining and cutting down giant evil trees. But that also means your regular presence in the game.
What about Energy? Oh, it no longer rules because it is not implemented in the main part of gameplay. With that said, it still has its influence in the hidden object mini-games integrated here. You have overall 60 points of energy to spend, 10 for one play. Inside the HOG, you can find some special items in every scene that can be used in the adventure and crafting. With level up, you can unlock more scenes to explore.
Disney's Ghosts of Mistwood is not an all new title, not in the rudimentary frame of gameplay. If you've ever played Gnome Town or Botkin's Hidden Cave, you will find the similar structures almost immediately when you begin your rescue mission. The helpers, the farm work, the exploration and the ongoing of the plot, etc. – all brings back the been-there memory. It's new in the skin though, with its own ghost theme, audio and visual effects and amimation.
Disney's Ghosts of Mistwood is a wonderful game where you can enjoy for hours at a sit, if you can ignore the non-initiative game framework or simply unaware of it. From enthralling ghost story and spooky (in a good way) artwork to evolving adventure and animated role-playing, the game can be greatly rated for what it is.

Regional workforce program planning requires an analysis of the skill needs of employers, the skills of the available labor force, and the education and training programs currently in place. To analyze these characteristics, workforce developers build an interdisciplinary team of workforce system professionals, businesses, economic developers, and educators.
Additionally, workforce developers can use competency models as a resource to:
The Missouri Economic Research and Information Center customized several industry models to identify local workforce skill requirements in support of the governor's economic development plan that targets industry clusters.

Ask your Scroll of Resurrection questions {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2012 4:25PM I asked this in the Q today: I just resurrected my character and transferred realms. I have 7 days free but will likely have to go out of country for a couple weeks. If I don't add gametime within the one week free window, will that affect mine or my friends perks, or will he still get his mount if I do put some game time on there in the near, but not immediate future.
The Queue: Orc monks best monks {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2012 1:23PM I just accepted a SoR from a friend last night and found out today that I will likely have to go overseas for a couple weeks. If I don't add gametime until I get back, will that affect any of the rewards (i.e. my character I already transferred or his sparkle mount)?

Mar 16th 2012 9:42AM Good suggestions. But if you think about it, even WOW's crappy default AH is light years ahead of the crap that launched with TOR. What a broken UI.
Breakfast Topic: How would you revamp Outland? {WoW}
Nov 5th 2011 1:30PM I don't know how other feel about this, but I started after BC so I really don't know jack about outland. I know I had to go through there, and personally I would like the progression faster than it already is, but I've never had to see the northern part of the area. Netherstorm and Blade's Edge I NEVER quest in. Hell I've only been to netherstorm once and that was to get the alchemy mastery. I'd like to see less progression through Terrokar b/c it feels so long and maybe spread the levels to the other zones. I spend WAY TOO MUCH time in HFP and TF then a quick handful of quests in SMV and I'm out of there. It's SO boring.
I'd like them to spread out the leveling curve and maybe cut out a few of the garbage quests so that you hit a quick level per zone or something like that.

Breakfast Topic: How do you transition in and out of playing WoW? {WoW}
Nov 3rd 2011 9:08AM I went on a cruise in mid summer and had no desire to login after that. I didn't. I didn't bother telling my guild b/c honestly they weren't worth telling. Raids weren't making and they would only always take their top 10 and never really sub. They didn't know if I could be in the top group since we never got a shot and thus no loot or even rep. Nice ppl but I had no connection.
Breakfast Topic: What skills would you like to see in WoW? {WoW}
Sep 17th 2011 10:03AM Seems like they could make the ones they have more interesting with a mini game style crafting. What springs to mind is Bioshock one when you had the pipe puzzles to unlock stuff. They don't have to be quite that long but I never felt that they were tedious and I wanted to complete them. You could attempt to make stuff that was a little bit above your skill level making the puzzle expire faster (but if you were good you could do it) and as you skill up the appropriate level puzzle gets a little easier. Then some of your profession specific items can work like plugins to say add a little extra time, or give you one free piece of the mini game. Seems like anything to make it a little more interactive. It doesn't have to be hard, just maybe a little more than queuing up "make 20 of x gem" and leaving.
Breakfast Topic: Will you quit with a bang or fade away? {WoW}
Aug 7th 2011 10:28AM Meh, I just quit with a fade away. Was trying to get into a regular raiding guild and for the first four weeks of 4.2 they didn't make their 25 due to it being summer now and either missing healers or tanks. Each night they would break off into the 10 man with their "top" players instead of rotating for experience. No trash farming so others could get Avenger rep, no trade barking for a standin. So I had to go on vacation for a week long cruise, informed them via forums that I would be absent, and haven't logged on since even after I got back. I stopped payment on my account and have no desire to play at the moment.

Successful Islet Cell Transplants in Italy
An Italian research team reports the success of islet cell transplant experiments conducted on ten patients with Type I diabetes. All of the patients involved in the experiments were immunosuppressed, and received islet cells in conjunction with kidney or liver transplants. In total, over 70% of the patients who received islet cells no longer required insulin therapy.
One patient has been off insulin for two years, another for one year, and two others for three and four months, respectively.
The researchers plan to evaluate the sustainability of normal glycemia in follow-up studies.

BigRedKitty: Spirit Beast {WoW}
Nov 22nd 2008 2:36PM A friend of mine has been working on taming this pet since she was high enough level to do so. She and another friend /finally/ lucked out and had a chance to start taming him... only to have a group show up and demand gold else they'd kill the beast. The cat ended up dead, and as they're same-faction there's not a thing my friend could do to stop it. She did send in a ticket about the griefing, but the GMs could do nothing about the direct loss of the opportunity and essentially wished her luck finding the next spawn.
Maybe the big names in hunterdom should petition for some sort of immunity for the animal during taming, or the ability to heal a beast in the midst of taming?

I was wrong.
Since then, I've vendored all but 3 of my quest rewards, the staff and two things I'm saving to compare to my offspec gear when I remember to do so. Then again, I haven't reached 71 yet and maybe I'll see some upgrades to my beargear soon.

The first chest of drawers delivered was chipped, the next two had runners broken and missing, so we have returned them all. unfortunately, we now have the matching wardrobe, but no chest of drawers - we will be looking for an alternative elsewhere.

Media Matters, a group dedicated to bird-dogging conservative spin in the press, made a good catch last week when it pointed out that The Wall Street Journal didn't publish a wave-making op-ed that disavowed global-warming skepticism in its US edition.
In late October, Dr. Richard A. Muller, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley who is well known for his skepticism of the science behind climate change, made headlines when he released the results of a two-year global land temperature study, partly funded by the conservative Charles G. Koch Foundation. To Muller's surprise, the study found that the Earth's temperature has risen roughly 1 degree Celsius in the last fifty years, a result that is in accord with previous research. The day after the results of the study went public, the Journal published an op-ed by Muller headlined, "The Case Against Global-Warming Skepticism."
The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) project quickly became big news, and many outlets mentioned Muller's column. But there seems to have been some confusion about where it appeared. In a roundup of coverage, the Knight Science Journalism Tracker suggested it was "best to read Muller's sly way of explaining the thing himself today on the Op-Ed page of the Wall Street Journal." The only problem was, it didn't run on the Journal's op-ed page, at least not in the US. The op-ed only ran in the European and online editions.
Given the Journal's massive online following, it would be unfair to say that the paper buried Muller's op-ed, but given that it didn't appear in the Journal's flagship edition, it is fair to say that it marginalized the piece. This appears all the more true in light of the paper's decision to publish an editorial four days after the release of the BEST analysis, which pooh-poohed efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions under the headline, "The Post-Global Warming World."
Then, on November 5, the US edition carried a "Numbers Guy" column by Carl Bialik that focused on the "uncertain nature of tracking global temperature," and carried the headline, "Global Temperatures: All Over the Map." The piece was essentially a feeble attempt to rebut Muller's confidence in the temperature record.
Media Matters ably dismantled Bialik's piece. Part of Bialik's case hinges on the argument, popular among skeptics, that satellite measurements "show about half the amount of warming as that of land-based readings in the past three decades." As NASA's Gavin Schmidt explained to Media Matters, this is simply not true.
Historically, there have been problematic discrepancies between surface-station and satellite temperature records (the latter of which measures temps in the lower atmosphere—an important detail that Bialik failed to mention), but they have been largely reconciled. According to a 2006 report from the US Climate Change Science Program:
Previously reported discrepancies between the amount of warming near the surface and higher in the atmosphere have been used to challenge the reliability of climate models and the reality of human induced global warming. Specifically, surface data showed substantial global-average warming, while early versions of satellite and radiosonde data showed little or no warming above the surface. This significant discrepancy no longer exists because errors in the satellite and radiosonde data have been identified and corrected.
It remains uncertain whether or not, in the last three decades, lower atmospheric warming has exceeded warming at the surface, as models predicted it should, and scientists need to figure out why they have been unable to make that determination. Nonetheless, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there has been very good agreement between the warming trends seen in most surface-station and satellite data.
The second part of Bialik's case hinges on the fact that temperature research teams use different techniques to arrive at their conclusions:
Calculating a global average temperature requires extrapolating from these readings to the whole globe, adjusting for data lapses and suspect stations. And no two groups do this identically Any statistical model produces results with some level of uncertainty. The Berkeley Earth project is no different.
Bialik argues that this leads to a "messy hashing-out of the global climate record," but it's the same process that applies to many fields of research. Science is a "messy" business, but that doesn't prevent scientists from coming to general agreement.
Scientists have worked hard to square technical and methodological inconsistencies, however. In fact, there's so much agreement where global temperature is concerned, it is fair to ask whether the BEST project even merited coverage. As University of Washington climatologist Eric Steig observed at RealClimate.org:
As far as the basic science goes, the results could not have been less surprising if the press release had said "Man Finds Sun Rises At Dawn." This must have been something of a disappointment for anyone hoping for something else.

We would like to encourage everyone of our cities in Arizona to save all consumers money and our planet by adopting more efficient building energy codes. Many cities currently have old 2006 or 2009 build codes in place. The new 2012 standards are 33 percent more efficient so they save you lots of money over the years and reduced energy saves our environment. The Sierra Club and SWEEP both endorse these standards.
I live in Chandler, which has been a leader in this area. Chandler continues to lead the area and save money and our environment for many years in the future. The payback is less than three years in dollars and is priceless to our children and the future. What greater gift can we give at this time of year?

Give Aloha 2013
It's been 15 years since Foodland's Give Aloha Annual Community Matching Gifts program began. How exciting it must have been, in 1998, when the then marketing team brainstormed ideas on how to honor our late founder, Sully. A program to support the community was the logical choice as Sully was not only known for his support of local non-profits, but he had always instilled in us that we "have a responsibility to support the ... more »

Many years ago, a young man from Ireland had a dream of leaving his homeland and coming to America. With just $7 in his pocket he headed to New York, then Hawaii, and in 1948 opened the first Foodland store. High school seniors also have great dreams. Some aspire to be teachers, physical therapists, graphic designers, engineers, doctors, business owners, and much more.

This is my first post in this community and on gardenweb. I live in New Orleans and am trying to gain control of my yard. This is my second summer in this house, and I see several plants that have seeded from last year. Loads of these are so hard to control: mexican petunias and 4 o'clocks to name a few. There is another plant that is everywhere, and I can't figure out how it's spreading. I dig them up and they keep coming back. I've uploaded two pictures if anyone is willing to help me figure out what they are. They grow very quickly, have big heart-shaped green leaves (with purple undertones) and bloom into lovely hydrangea like flowers at the end of the summer. I let some go this summer, and they grew over 6 feet tall. I cut them all back 7 weeks ago, and now they are everywhere. Here're the links: http://www.pakupaku.info/plant.jpg http://www.pakupaku.info/planttwo.jpg Thanks!

I knew what it was, but I was spelling it incorrectly in the database and it wasn't coming up. I was spelling it cleodendrum. I wanted to make a positive identification before posting an answer. I'm pretty excited that I guessed correctly. Do they produce seeds, or are they spreading underground? I've got a plant in my back yard that I've been trying to kill for 2 1/2 years. I just found some more yesterday growing in my compost. Annie Annie |

They are spreading underground. It is one of those invasive plants. I have it growing on the place in Ms. where it can spread like mad. Heck I don't mind one bit since I really love the flowers. Mike |
You will have to dig the root up close to the parent plant or you can try Ortho-weed-b-gon for lawns kills the broadleaf not the grass do not spray on or near flowers you wont to keep.hope this helps Jim |
Because this is a suckering plant spraying will not control it. Your best bet is digging up the largest clump and then catching the suckers by hand.to pull up suckers wait until they are 24 inches after a good rain, use two hands and pull gently. If you brake them off then they run again. This is a nice plant but if some people hate it it can become a problem. Belinda |

I too, made the mistake of admiring and then planting one of these in my garden. Now I have thousands. Knowing what I know now, I still would have kept it, but in a pot. Good news is they come up pretty easy. Wait for 24 hours after a good rain, get a good pair of gloves and you will be done in minutes. After a while they get manageable. Oh, bring a nose clip too. The leaves really stink when disturbed. (big smile) Keith |

the cashmere plant is all over my garden but I have never had a bloom on any of them. they are in a partial shaded garden and are multiplying. Could it be the lime in my garden that is preventing them from blooming. I need to know what I can do to make them bloom, otherwise I will start pulling them up. The backyard is a lime pit or on a lime pit. |

House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), in response to remarks from Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) as reported by the Associated Press demanding the Bush administration force the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to produce more oil, while at the same time continuing to oppose more oil and gas development in the United States:
"In making the argument that OPEC should ratchet up production, Sen. Schumer seems to be conceding that America needs more energy – a fact 300 million Americans already paying over $3.50 for [gasoline] have known for some time. But while the senator shows no restraint in demanding that other countries increase their production for the benefit of U.S. consumers, he and his colleagues remain adamantly opposed to any effort that would expand that production here at home.
"Republicans in the House believe that any energy plan worth its salt must contain a legitimate supply component – developing conventional sources of energy, along with renewables, nuclear, and coal to liquids. Sadly, that's a platform that has been roundly rejected by Democratic leaders – claiming on one hand they've got a 'commonsense plan' to rein in prices, but refusing to even consider unlocking additional reserves of energy on the other.
"At least Sen. Schumer apparently agrees that one of the key ways to reduce record-high gas prices is to increase our country's energy supply. I would only suggest that rather than relying on the kindness of OPEC members to increase that supply, perhaps the senator might reconsider his party's position against producing some of that energy domestically."

Two-hundred-some-odd years ago, wingtips were considered country shoes they were
substantial. These days, that extra leather over the toe means not so much outdoorsy as somewhat less dressy. A wingtip, in other words, is perfect with a fall suit, especially in flannel and tweed.
Gifford leather wingtips in black ($225) by J.Crew, jcrew.com
Even with all the traditional brogueing, wingtips can come in a slim, updated silhouette, like this.
Burnished brogues in tan ($239) by Grenson, my-wardrobe.com
Or you can eschew the holes altogether and go for a stitching and burnishing of the leather to get a hipper effect.
Caver wingtip in antique tan ($350) by Johnston & Murphy, johnstonmurphy.com
Still, there is something to be said for the solid construction and heft of a very traditional long wing so called because the "wing" extends all the way to the heal seam of the shoe instead of tapering down to the outsole.
Milled leather brogue in black ($395) by Florsheim by Duckie Brown, florsheimbyduckiebrown.com
And then there is the pair that puts it all together: a traditional wingtip assembled as high-fashion for your feet. They get attention. Immediately.
Rochyro wingtip in brown leather ($445) by Bruno Magli, saks.com
Loafers are absolutely suitable for the office, and they can pull double time on the weekend. The key is striking a balance between classic styling with a modern fit, like this slim silhouette to bridge a split-toe construction with a "penny" strap.
Loafer in brown calfskin ($298) by Saks Fifth Avenue Men's Collection, saks.com
The Gucci loafer is an icon of the genre, and the pebbled leather gives this pair and you an added boost of sophistication.
Horse-bit loafers in brown leather ($495) by Gucci, gucci.com
Although it is very much an American invention, the Italians have taken the penny loafer and given it a shiny flair as only continental manufactures can.
Loafer in black calfskin ($580) by Fratelli Rossetti, fratellirossetti.com
Not that Italians can't do the flair-free, nonchalant thing. In fact, they often do it better than we can.
Loafer in calfskin ($595) by Tod's, tods.com
They do straight-up old-school, too.
Penny loafer in brown calf leather ($650) by Salvatore Ferragamo, salvatoreferragamo.com
Get ready to hear the words "monk strap" a lot. They refer to that buckled-in strap on the upper quarter not that you we haven't seen two or even three of them up there. Either way, monk-strap shoes go great with suits, or with trousers and a sport coat, or even jeans. If your office is down with that.
Double monk-strap shoe in brown ($335) by Mark McNairy New Amsterdam, runofthemillshop.com
Sometimes, despite the monk-strap trend, it can be good to go old-school. This pair is equal measures formal and casual, thanks to a plain toe and that supple calfskin up top.
Monk strap in black calfskin ($488) by Peal & Co. for Brooks Brothers, brooksbrothers.com
And sometimes, just because there's a monk strap does not mean your shoes can't have a bit of wing-tip in 'em, too. There are not unbreakable rules, especially when breaking them looks so good.
Monk strap with wing-tip detail ($650) by A. Testoni, testoni.com
Remember what we said about breaking rules? This kind of double-monk pair breaks a few but very, very stylishly. They're perfect for a suit with personality, like a tartan or a check-flannel one.
Ancel double-monk strap burnished Calf Dress Shoe ($1,350) by Ralph Lauren, ralphlauren.com
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with some classic luxury beneath that strip of in-season style.
Redmire calfskin monk strap ($1,660) by John Lobb, johnlobb.com
That extra piece of leather down at the bottom? That's why they call it a cap toe, and that's the kind of design detail that takes up a lace-up one extra notch. And this traditional version with brogueing (read: little punched holes) is an ideal paring with your favorite gray or navy suit.
Strand calfskin cap toe in burnished tan ($295) by Allen Edmonds, allenedmonds.com
Of course, you can lose the punched-hole look for stitching down at the cap toe. It makes for a clean silhouette, and those holes aren't exactly for draining the water out of your shoes any more they're for looking good.
Ecker Cap Toe in burgundy ($395) by Johnston & Murphy, johnstonmurphy.com
Suede cap toes especially with brogueing give you a (slightly) more laid-back look but a (not at all) less stylish one.
Perforated cap toe in suede ($488) by Peal & Co. for Brooks Brothers, brooksbrothers.com
Not that all cap toes aren't well-made, but not all are created equally. The Blucher-style lace-up can be more comfortable, for one, and the construction at a legend's headquarters can be memorable, for another.
Russel II cap toe in suede ($1,180) by John Lobb, johnlobb.com
Listen: a cap-toed shoe is traditional there's no way around it. But that doesn't mean they can't express individuality. And a handmade pair in pebbled leather is a damn good start.
French lace-up brogue ($1,290) by Tom Ford, tomford.com
You don't need to be a bricklayer to wear boots to the office; a boot is just a shoe that goes above your ankle another version that can be worn on the weekend, and worked into your weekday wardrobe. Especially the Chukka version (known as a Desert boot if the sole is crep instead of hard), which is going to be everywhere this fall and winter.
Air Colton Chukka boot in brown ($228) by Cole Haan, colehaan.com
Think of it like a high-top wingtip. It's actually a very old country style one that more and more companies are making these days. And at work, no one's going to be able to tell the difference between these and regular brogues unless you're, like, crossing your legs in their face.
Brogue ankle boots in burnished tan ($365) by Grenson, my-wardrobe.com
Look for elastic panels at the ankles and you've found this other traditional dressy style one that's easier to get on and off your foot. Chelsea boots tend to come in a slim silhouette (and even with wingtips, like here), making them a nice fit for sharply tailored suits.
Ankle boot in suede ($750) by A.Testoni, testoni.com
The great thing about boots like these is that they can be both rugged and refined. Which is pretty much how you'd like to describe yourself, isn't it?
Brogue ankle boots in waxed suede ($550) by Church's, church-footwear.com
For many years, boots were considered fancier than low-cut shoes. Really. And it's pairs like this that remind us why.
Ankle boot in waxed calfskin ($1,200) by Louis Vuitton, louisvuitton.com

ATLANTA — The supermarket scene in one of the largest cities in the Southeast continues to grow.
As other retailers try to enter the market, the segment remains highly competitive.
Wholesalers that serve the category say that helps keep produce moving.
"In terms of retail, Atlanta has always been a hotbed where you have so many different retail brands," said David Collins III, president of Forest Park-based Phoenix Wholesale Foodservice Inc. and Collins Bros. Corp., Phoenix's retail distributor.
"Retail business is growing. Some chains are not doing as well as others, but the Publix, the Whole Foods and the Krogers, they're all doing well."
Many smaller independent chains vie for spots in Atlanta's retail marketplace.
Collins said remnants of former players, including Piggly Wiggly, were doing well on the independent scene in Atlanta.
The mix of ethnicities, including Hispanics and people from Jamaica, South Korea and Africa, helps fuel sales, said Cliff Sherman, owner of Sunbelt Produce Distributors Inc., in Forest Park.
"They all buy a lot of produce," he said. "There are more mom-and-pop places and their stores are aggressive. They just get out there and hustle. Business is up for us and it's a very competitive deal. Everyone is fighting for the same piece of the pie."
For retail, Sunbelt sells to the smaller independent chains that operate with one to three stores.
Coosemans Atlanta Inc., sells to a variety of retailers in the area.
"This area is very competitive," said Brian Young, vice president.
"All the major players are here and we're seeing new ones enter the marketplace to see if they can penetrate it with any kind of market share. You have your Krogers, your Publix, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. It makes for a good selection for the shoppers."
Young cited Phoenix-based Sprouts Farmers Market as one of the latest marketplace entrants.
Nickey Gregory, president and owner of Nickey Gregory Co. LLC, attended a grand opening at one of Sprouts' locations.
"They should do well here because they have a good concept," he said.
"Everybody needs to grow so they're coming to this city. They should do very well with their concept here because it's a nice presentation to the public when they first enter the stores."
Sprouts' entrance is a sign of a highly competitive and growing retail scene, said Diana Earwood, vice president and general manager of the produce division of Sutherland's Foodservice Inc. and general manager of Forest Park-based Destiny Organics LLC.

CaixaBank (CABK) SA, Spain's fourth- biggest lender, agreed to buy Banca Civica SA (BCIV), a group of former savings banks, for 977 million euros ($1.3 billion) as an overhaul of the nation's financial industry gathers pace.
CaixaBank's all-stock offer values Civica at 1.97 euros a share, or 0.35 times book value, the buyer said in a statement late yesterday. The transaction, in which Civica investors get five CaixaBank shares for every eight of their bank's shares, is priced 11 percent below its March 23 closing price.
Civica dropped 11 percent to 1.97 euros by 9:36 a.m. in Madrid trading, after both stocks were suspended yesterday. CaixaBank advanced 0.6 percent to 3.16 euros, after jumping as much as 3.3 percent at the open.
Adding Civica's 72 billion euros of assets will create a lender with 342 billion euros in assets and 179 billion euros of deposits, CaixaBank said, giving it the biggest banking business in Spain. Chairman Isidro Faine said Jan. 27 he expected a "wave of mergers" as the government pressures lenders into deals by making them recognize losses on real estate that piled up on their books during Spain's property crash.
Difficult Climate
"The operation creates value for shareholders of both banks, generating a bank with solid growth potential and a stronger future for CaixaBank amid a particularly difficult market climate," Faine said in an e-mailed statement.
CaixaBank holds a webcast for investors at 10 a.m. in Madrid.
The share valuation for Civica in the transaction is 27 percent lower than the 2.70 euro-per-share price of its initial public offering in July, in which it raised 600 million euros. CaixaBank has a market value of 12.1 billion euros.
No Government Money
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter and will generate cost savings and other benefits of 540 million euros by 2014, CaixaBank said, adding the deal can be completed without government money. CaixaBank will make a "value adjustment" for Civica assets of 3.4 billion euros that will be charged against reserves, meaning there will be no impact on earnings, the lender said.
Under the terms of the offer, the combined bank will have a pro-forma Basel II core capital ratio based on December numbers of 10.4 percent, CaixaBank said in an e-mailed statement.
The transaction won't prevent CaixaBank from meeting the European Banking Authority's 9 percent core capital ratio requirement by June this year, the bank said. The ratio of bad loans to total lending at the combined bank will be 5.5 percent.
CaixaBank said it intends to maintain its dividend at 0.231 euros per share in 2012. La Caixa, CaixaBank's parent, will maintain control of the bank with a 61 percent stake, it said.
The government's new rules, pushing banks to make bigger provisions for real estate losses, aim to encourage mergers and help the industry cut scale and costs. Civica, a lender formed from the combination of four savings banks in regions including Navarra, Andalusia and the Canary Islands, has to make gross provisions of about 1.25 billion euros because of the order, compared with pre-provision profit last year of 274 million euros.

"A lot of the small fields are beat up pretty bad, so you'll have less stand and less yield," Antle said.
"As much as I'm concerned about late planting, there are fields that had just been planted and then got pounded. The soil was sealed to where the seed couldn't germinate through it."
Strawberries became Monterey County's No. 1 cash-value commodity — $756 million — in 2009, according to the county's last crop report. But lettuce is still the king, if you combine the head and leaf categories. It's a $1.1 billion industry in the county.
Trailing it among vegetables are broccoli at about $280 million; celery at $172 million; spring mix at $166 million; spinach at $132 million; and cauliflower at $112 million.
Lettuce remains strong despite a dip in acreage over the years. There were 143,000 acres planted in Monterey County in 2009, the last year for which statistics are available, down from 150,246 the year before.
"Iceberg consumption has been relatively flat to slightly negative," Duda said.
"Because high-density plantings have grown dramatically in the last five or six years, you get great yields so you don't need as many acres. The volume and yield factors have played into acres either stabilizing or declining on romaine, leaf lettuces and iceberg."

118 petitioners for naturalization were welcomed as new U.S. citizens.
St. Clairsville, OH (May 11, 2012) – For the 12th year, individuals from all over the world gathered at Belmont College on Friday, May 11 at the Main Campus in St. Clairsville, Ohio to take part in a naturalization ceremony. 118 petitioners for naturalization were welcomed as new U.S. citizens.
Of these petitioners the youngest was 18 and the oldest age 69. They came from places as diverse as Somalia, India, El Salvador, Rwanda, Morocco, and France, and walked into Belmont College's Horizon Hall as citizens of different countries. When they left, however, the 118 participants in the naturalization ceremony were full-fledged citizens of the United States.
On behalf of the Belmont College Board of Trustees and the College, Belmont President Dr. Joseph E. Bukowski welcomed those being naturalized, "It is an honor to host this naturalization ceremony here at Belmont College and I offer you my sincere congratulations and welcome you as a U.S. citizen."
Additionally, Ohio State Senator Lou Gentile, City of St. Clairsville Mayor Robert Vincenzo, and Belmont County Commissioner Ginny Favede offered welcoming remarks.
The Honorable Edmund A. Sargus officiated the ceremony and the hearing of petitioners. "We have people from 40 different countries, from all over the world represented here to be made citizens of the United States," he said. "I take great pride in welcoming these petitioners not just as a district judge, but also as the grandson of Lebanese immigrants and the great grandson of Irish immigrants."
The ceremony also included: The Honorable Jennifer L. Sargus; The Honorable John M. Solovan, II; The Honorable J. Mark Costine; The Honorable Harry W. White; The Honorable John A.Vavra; Mr. Robert Bremer, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; Dawn Davis, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; Ms. Frances Green, Deputy Clerk, U.S. District Court; Mr. William F. Shubat, Director, Belmont County Board of Elections; Belmont College Board of Trustee Dr. Lorrinda Saxby; The United States Marshal and two deputy marshals including the newest U.S. Marshal, Mario an English Black Labrador Retriever.
"What a tremendous occasion for residents of Belmont County to welcome these new United States citizens," said Judge John M. Solovan, II. "We congratulate you (petitioners) as you take the oath of citizenship and become an American."
Approximately 146 students from the St. Clairsville, Union Local, and Shadyside school districts attended the ceremony.

After recording some of the fastest 24 hour runs of the race on leaving Charleston SC (USA) for the start of ocean sprint four on Saturday, the fleet of four Eco 60s in the VELUX 5 OCEANS have reached the end of the high speed gulf stream highway. The reason is the large high pressure system sitting off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, which has seen the temperature drop and the fog close in on the ocean racers.
With the arrival of light airs, leg and race leader Brad Van Liew has extended his lead over second placed Chris Stanmore-Major. The American skipper, who had been concerned that his boat Le Pingouin would be overhauled by the charging British skipper on Spartan as he posted speeds in excess of 20 knots, has succeeded in holding onto the top spot - for now. Locked in a battle for second place overall in the race, Derek Hatfield continues to hold a 50 mile advantage over Polish competitor Zbigniew Gutek Gutkowski.
Speaking from Active House, currently in third place and 75 miles behind Van Liew, the Canadian race veteran concluded, I prefer to be in this position right now and protect my position between Gutek and the finish line. It's a bit more pressure of course Brad would tell you about it but it's easier than having to be the hunter. We have about 12 knots of wind and we're doing 10 knots of boatspeed upwind. And it's starting to be foggy. We are actually going to have a lot of fog in the next two days as we are sailing north in a high pressure system straight to Halifax. We're only 150 miles from my house. It's strange for me to be so close from home. ETA for La Rochelle is about 9 to 10 days from now because we are slowed by this high pressure system for two days."
Stanmore-Major, who is on the final leg on his way to completing his first solo circumnavigation, added, About 6 hours ago the fog for which this area is famous closed in and since then my world has been 60ft x 20ft plus the mere hundred yards more I can see beyond that. The water temperature dropped ten degrees in as many miles this morning and suddenly the world beyond Spartan's deck spreaders became white and formless. Tactically this next section is difficult with no apparent way through the high pressure ahead except a saw-tooth arc to the North gybing and gybing again close to the coast of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and then Newfoundland
Gutek remains in contention 120 miles behind Brad but is going up the mast today to make repairs. More news tomorrow on how Gutek gets on going up the mast for the fourth time this race no mean feat.

First 500 postponement historic
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- What we long called Big Bill France's deal with God expired Sunday.
For the first time in the 54-year history of NASCAR's biggest race, the Daytona 500 was rained out entirely and ultimately postponed until Monday at 7 p.m. ET, with TV coverage on Fox.
And Monday's forecast isn't much better, with at least a 60 percent chance of rain.
The 500 had been rain-shortened four times over the years, and delayed on three other occasions. But never before had there been an outright rainout.
"Bill France weather," we called it, down through decades of Februaries when the Daytona 500 seemed the only motor race in America immune to rainouts. The rival Indianapolis 500 had seen multiple weather ordeals in the month of May.
We joked that France, the founder of both NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway, had made a deal with God the way he made deals with everybody else.
But we ignored France's biggest ally in scheduling his early races here -- he consulted the Farmers' Almanac. That made for a nearly perfect record of running this race.
Some longtime fans might think NASCAR went into breach of contract with the elements this time by pushing the date back a week due to increasing concerns that the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl will eventually encroach into mid-February.
In recent decades the race had always been scheduled the Sunday before Presidents Day -- the holiday giving officials a built-in rain date if they needed it.
But in fact, the third Sunday in February had been traditional only since 1970. In six of nine years leading up to that, the race was run on the last Sunday of the month.
In that span, of the three 500s that were run Presidents Day weekend, rain shortened the '65 race to 133 of the standard 200 laps, and Fred Lorenzen won while sitting on the pit road under a red flag. So the Presidents Day weekend wasn't always waterproof.
But by the way, last Sunday was windy but clear here.
Lorenzen's rain victory stood as the shortest Daytona 500 until 2003, when there were two red flags for rain until Michael Waltrip was declared the winner with only 109 laps completed.
Matt Kenseth's 2009 win was declared when the bottom fell out of the Central Florida skies after only 152 laps.
The only other time the race was rain-shortened was in 1966, but Richard Petty's win came with 198 of the 200 laps complete.
In my memory, the gloomiest the skies had looked here before Sunday was in 1979, when it rained most of the morning. Because CBS was on the air with the first start-to-finish live coverage of the race, the first 16 laps were run under caution, so that the race cars themselves completed the drying of the track.
But that day went on to unfold as a full race, one of the most memorable in NASCAR history, one Bill France Jr., the second czar of NASCAR, often said was his league's version of the NFL's milestone, the 1958 New York Giants-Baltimore Colts championship game.
From Georgia north that day, most of the nation was snowed in. TV ratings soared as the race went on, and then Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough wrecked each other while dueling for the win.
Petty and Darrell Waltrip maneuvered through the third-turn melee and had a second duel of their own -- at the time it was perfectly legal to race back to the caution flag. Petty held off Waltrip for the sixth of Petty's seven Daytona 500 wins.
Meanwhile, over in the third turn, Bobby Allison parked his car with intentions of offering his younger brother a ride, but of course he ended up getting into the now-notorious fight with Yarborough. Donnie never actually threw a punch, but has always been implicated in the notorious photos of the scuffle.
Other minor rain delays over the years included 1963, when the first 10 laps were run under caution, and 1992, when laps 84-89 were run under caution due to backstretch drizzle.
Watching the drizzle Sunday morning, I thought of '79 and how hopeless the situation had seemed that morning, and what a spectacular event had ensued. Maybe, I kept hoping, this gloom foreshadowed another lollapalooza.
But the rain and fog were so relentless that only once, late Sunday afternoon, did the jet dryers even get onto the track.
As the hours wore on, I thought of Big Bill's deal and how it seemed to be expiring. I decided maybe the pact was good for his lifetime plus 20 years. Big Bill died in 1992.

If you use the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK, you'll set build and launch configurations in Momentics.
If you're developing web apps using the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK, you can set up the launch configuration in Ripple to deploy to the simulator.
If you develop apps using any Eclipse plug-in, you'll set build and launch configurations in Eclipse.
