The call of God has been raised here, and the work is finished.1
Our aim is not to rest, but to become assisted to serve the cause no matter where we are. Our purpose is to become enabled to render a service at the holy threshold. If this is realized, it will be very good. Otherwise, life itself is meaningless. We have not come here (in America) to rest or to inhale the pure air or to walk in the delightful country places; but We have come here to serve you.3
As part of the play, some Lords and Ladies (some, I believe, really held these titles!) sat at the tables in front of the house, having tea. My mother, acting as the maid, appeared in an upstairs window and proceeded to shake a dusty mop out of the window – also to throw some trash – all of which came down on the tea-drinkers below. While she was at the window, playing her part with gusto, she looked across the audience to the green lawn behind them. There she saw, coming across the lawn, a man robed in a long, light-colored coat, with white hair and beard, and a white turban. His feet were not visible because of the long coat, and He appeared to be floating across the lawn. She felt as if He had walked out of the pages of the Bible! As He neared the audience, He turned and sat down under a tree until the play was ended. After this, He walked to a place near the Smiths' home and people began to form a line to shake hands with Him. Mother got in line behind her sister Mary. When He shook Mary's hand, He noted that she was a fine horseback rider and said that He would give her a fine horse to ride if she would come to His country. When mother's turn came, he shook hands and said very little, but turned and spoke in Persian to a man behind Him. Shortly, another man, a tall American with reddish hair and mustache came forward and walked with mother into the garden. This man was Harlan Ober [a Boston Bahá'í]. He told mother something about the visitor, `Abdu'l-Bahá, and about His Father, Bahá'u'llah. He also spoke of some of the principles of the Faith. When mother heard these principles she said she believed in them. Then Harlan exclaimed, "Then you must be one of us!" This rather frightened mother and she did not ask any more, but she never forgot that afternoon.7
The Master listened to him with love and patience while at the same time removing his superstitions with quotations from philosophers and sages in such a manner that Mr. Harmon was astonished. The Master explained the seven segments [of existence] so beautifully that he cried, `Oh! Your explanations have opened the doors of understanding before me!'10
We went to Mrs. Parsons', and of all the cold blooded, unresponsive unspiritual persons assembled! It was difficult for me to keep my growing irritation – such persons always irritate me – (excuse the expression), make me feel like kicking over the traces and doing something to shock them. Poor `Abdu'l-Bahá seemed so weary, and commenced in such a conventional, spiritless way, that I wanted to – do something. Finally, he told them to ask questions. Mr. Charles McVeagh, brother to Secy of Treasury asked a question which set the ball a rolling. My husband, who sat next him said his breath reeked with liquor. Whereupon `Abdu'l-Bahá sat forward on the edge of the sofa and sent thundering forth with this mighty Spirit which seems to come at His bidding, and told of how people throughout the ages have worshipped the Dawning Points instead of the Sun which rises in different places and which is the Reality. We spoke of Moses and Christ. Oh! It was perhaps the most intensely dramatic expression I have yet seen from Him. Such gradation of voice until He spoke of the Jews even crucifying Jesus, in a whispered awesome breath. He would laugh his little triumphant laugh when he made an indisputable point, and his eyebrows would suddenly project from his brow in the most astonishing and effective manner. Then He spoke of Mahomet and the condition of the Arabs when He appeared.... Abdul-Bahá spoke of their polygamy, their cruelty, how they practiced unspeakable things, and in fact gave a very exhaustive talk on the subject, and seemed utterly spent when he finished trying to put something into those dull, unreceptive, conventional minds. To me it seemed like casting pearls before swine – pardon the expression.11 (inconsistency in capitalization of "he/him/his" and spelling in reference to `Abdu'l-Bahá, and underscoring, hers)
When I offered to present him with a Bahá'í booklet, to my surprise he said that he did not need it for he already knew about the Teachings and had entertained `Abdu'l-Bahá in his summer home in Dublin, New Hampshire.... He not only invited me to a tea party at his home to meet his wife, but offered to do anything he could to help me.12
Abdul Bahá was one of the distinguished visitors to Dublin. One day he gave a talk at our house and, after lunch, feeling tired, he was shown to my wife's room to rest. Not long after this when on our way to Burlington we stopped at a summer resort for lunch. A lady, seeing our name on the register, introduced herself, saying, `Oh, you are from Dublin! Did you see Abdul Bahá?' `Yes, he lunched with us the other day and he rested on my bed.' 'He lay on your bed. Oh, how wonderful!' and she came and she reverently kissed the skirt of my wife's dress. The mantle of the martyred Bab fell on Abdul Bahá's father and descended to Abdul Bahá. The religion is very pure and seems to be spreading in Persia and Syria. It accepts as inspired all the great religions and prophets, and may be the leaven that is to modernize Islam.13
The husband of `Abdu'l-Bahá's hostess in Dublin [then the Librarian of Congress], who, while never becoming an avowed believer, had many opportunities of meeting and talking with the Master, when asked to sum up his impressions of Him, responded, after a little consideration: `I think He is the most perfect gentleman I have ever known.' Consider. This was the verdict of a man of inherited wealth; of wide and profound culture; accustomed to judge men by delicate standards, and to whom the word `gentleman' connoted all which he held most admirable.14
Dublin: Abdul Bahá, a Persian, who is the expounder of Bahá Philosophy first promulgated by his father, Bahá Ullah, is to speak at the Unitarian Church at Dublin Sunday. Abdul Bahá has been spending two or three weeks in Dublin with friends. He is an eminent philosopher and for forty years was held in prison by the Mohammedans, but was released when the Young Turks gained control of affairs.15
The venerable Persian, Abdul Bahá, bears so much resemblance to Santa Claus that two little tots begged to take out their go-cart and get it filled with presents from him. They had espied the supposed Santa Claus sitting on the piazza of the Wilcox [sic.] Inn and felt that the opportunity was too good not to be improved.16
While they were waiting for the train to arrive, Abdul Bahá left the party and strode over near a ragged boy. Then suddenly He turned to the boy and with his musical voice said in English, `How are you?' The boy unabashed by the suddenness of the remark, quickly replied in a characteristic manner, `alright' at which the master laughed heartily and pulled some silver coins from his pocket and gave the boy a quarter. Immediately several boys appeared as if by magic and each was rewarded with a silver piece.17 (inconsistency of capitalization of "his/master" is McNutt's)
This area (and I think he meant the Monadnock region) was under a special protection... I think he said it was a `sacred region'. Disasters are going to happen – had the impression of natural disasters – floods come to mind – a lot of different things were going to be happening, like wars and floods and famine and pestilence.
Going there Abdul Bahá, Mirza [Ahmad] Sohrab and I were with Miss Lionberger and returning Abdul Bahá was with Mrs. [John] Gray, Mrs. [Bettina] Ford and Mirza Valle Ollah Khan. After greeting us with many of the boys, Dr. H[enderson] took us to a big fire, then to an upper room where Abdul Bahá made an address. Abdul Bahá was interested in everything, was shown the view from an observation platform, then the boys' sleeping places. Afterwards we had tea and just before leaving a drill was done by the boys. I forgot to say that a photograph was taken of Abdul Bahá with the boys and many snapshots by the boys.34
...In these nine blessed states [in the Northeast] `Abdu'l-Bahá journeyed and traveled from place to place, explained the wisdom of the heavenly books and diffused the fragrances. In most of these states he founded the Divine Edifice and opened the door of teaching. In those states he sowed pure seeds and planted blessed trees. Now the believers of God and the maid-servants of the Merciful must irrigate these fields and with the utmost power engage in the cultivation of these heavenly plantations so that the seeds may grow and develop, prosperity and blessing be realized and many rich and great harvests be gathered in.35
I asked how He could be pleased when R[oyall] had behaved so badly, and He answered that such people as R. are pure, clearsighted, inspirational, even prophetic. That I must not be troubled. All are in God's hands. That there is a wisdom in this experience.37
...we [she, `Abdu'l-Bahá and Dr. Fareed, `Abdu'l-Bahá's translator] drove along the Jaffrey Road to the farthest entrance of Mr. McVeagh's up to the beautiful Learned [?] view. I said Mashruk il Askar [implying a Bahá'í House of Worship might be built there], and He replied, Ensh Allah! [`God willing', which in Arabic/Persian implies that something is desirable but unsure, but may also imply that as long as God will allow it, it will happen]38 ...He said that people in the future will come from all parts of the world to see `Day Spring' where `the Master lived'. Also He said my family, He hoped, would own all the country about here.39
He looked at me long and searchingly. His smile broadened. Again He seemed to be enjoying a heavenly situation which was not without its humorous side. Then He was lovingly grave again. After a somewhat lengthy silence He said that it was not given to everyone to speak of His Holiness Christ to men. He said that I must thank God daily for this great bounty, for men have entirely forgotten the pure teachings of this `Essence of Severance'. He remarked that His Holiness Bahá'u'llah speaks of this in the Book of Certitude and that I should study it carefully... He smiled at me with such heavenly radiance that I sat enthralled and overcome with emotion indescribable. Then He fell silent and His eyes closed. I thought He was weary as doubtless He was for His constant activity gave Him little rest. But it was plain to me later that He must have been praying for me.41
Monday morning Abdul-Bahá came home walking through the woods from the stable, and we all rushed to meet him and welcome him home. Mr. Breed and I had a long talk with him, and I cleared up many matters for myself and others. What particularly delights me is that I always find him so sane and normal, and his answers satisfy me.42
A meeting for blacks was held near Lake Dublin [actually locally referred to as "Dublin Lake"]. At this gathering the Master delivered an eloquent address regarding unity and amity between blacks and whites. He spoke of the approaching wedding of Miss [Louisa] Matthew, a white woman, and Mr. [Louis] Gregory, a colored man, which is to take place shortly in Washington, DC. The white people in the audience were astonished to see the influence of the Cause and the blacks were pleased. Incidents like these are a little less than miracles, in fact `splitting the moon in half' would be an easier accomplishment in the eyes of the Americans. This meeting was full of joy.46
[The Chants] said that their servants were all at the Church on Sunday and that the cook particularly wanted to know if she might come near after the luncheon and listen to Abdul Bahá. After the rest which He took directly after luncheon we went on the terrace where hidden by a tree the Cook sat. A little later He asked the servants to come that He might speak to them which He did very beautifully shaking hands with all of them.47 Mr. _____ a chaufer [sic.] to one spoke of his great interest in hearing Abdul Bahá. I asked if he would not like to meet Him, and he said `Yes'; but seeing his motor at the door he thought it was impossible, but I said that I will explain that you cannot stay, and he followed me into the dining room where Abdul Bahá was sitting. When Abdul Bahá found he could not sit down, He rose, said just a few wonderful words to him of which he alone could have understood the import and taking from the fruit bowl a pear, He presented it it [sic.] him, and saying, `that, you must eat yourself.' What He said was something like this – `you must not be depressed for a great light will come to you.'48
Always the poor advance toward the Kingdom of God. The poor are very near to the Divine Kingdom, they are very favored before God, for their hearts are tender.49 In the talk at Mrs. Parsons [sic.], July 29, He told the rich people that when religion and spirituality become a fad, they would be religious. They want to be `it' whatever the fad is.50 ...contentment in poverty is better than happiness in wealth but happiness in poverty is more praiseworthy than mere contentment. Above all is the rich man who, having sacrificed, emerges pure from tests and trials and becomes the cause of tranquillity [sic.] to mankind.51
Dr. [Edward] Getsinger told me he suspected too that he liked to get away from the Persians who simply sit and look unutterable things at him. Mr. Breed says no king could command such love and homage as he receives from his own people who know him best.52
When He got there, two Arab seekers fell at His feet crying, `O Thou the Prophet of God.' He lifted them with His own hand, saying, `I am `Abdu'l-Bahá [servant of the `Glory of God', the Title of His Father Bahá'u'llah].'53
The ladies in the car at cried out, `Oh, Master, see how the crowd of philosophers. How frightened they are running away from us.' `Abdu'l-Bahá laughed so heartily that He tired Himself. As the Americans like such jests, it became an oft-repeated remark.55
In Persia we were under the sword, and every moment there was no hope to live to the next moment, and during our long imprisonment we were in constant danger; but as we were not attached to this life, we were entirely forgetful of these outward conditions; therefore we remained firm. We did not notice the flashing swords around us; but in reality we were happy and He laughed. At that time there were many severe tests, but there was abounding spirituality. We were walking upon the earth, but in reality we were soaring toward the supreme concourse. Ha, Ha what were those days and what are these days.56
`Abdu'l-Bahá came into the room where we were and asked about our health, saying to us, `Come here, be seated. Mrs. Parsons has sent tea, sweets and some fruit for you. Eat and drink.' Then with a merry twinkle in His eyes He continued: `Oh! You are very badly off here! May God hear your complaint! Oh! It is so difficult to live in this manner, to dwell in such a house, to breathe such air! And to stay with such servants and respected friends is, of course, very hard for you! May God come to your help!' Then He said, `Joking aside, what a lovely table the Blessed Perfection [Bahá'u'llah] has spread for His friends! Had kings come here they could have been served, but this favor and zeal of the friends would not have appeared for any one of them.57
Music is produced by the vibrations of air which affect the tympanum of the ear. Although music or an ordinary pleasing voice is of the physical realm, yet it has an effect upon the spirit. In the same manner, freshness and purity of the air, the atmosphere, the scenery, and sweet fragrances impart joy, spirituality and comfort to the heart. Even though these are physical phenomena they have a great spiritual influence.58
Jeffery [her husband] and I danced for a few minutes before dinner, then `Abdu'l-Bahá told Dr. Getsinger to dance – but alone. He pronounced the whole performance `very good'.59 Eliza [Pumpelly Cabot – a photographer and artist] took a few photographs of Him and one with Dr. Fareed and me added.60
On Aug. 11, 1912, the distinguished Persian sage, Abbas Effendi, who is designated Abdul-Bahá (servant of Bahá), occupied the desk of the Unitarian Church, addressing a large audience. He is the son of Bahá'O'Llah, the founder of the philosophical and religious movement known as the Bahá system, from the former part of his name. Before the latter's death, he appointed his son, Abbas Effendi, to be Abdul-Bahá, `To be the `Center of the Covenant' of light, love and peace, which he had founded in the name of God.' It is a pure, rational system of philosophy, inculcating the practice of moral and religious precepts of the highest order. The patriarchal appearance and Oriental costume of the speaker imparted a peculiar solemnity to his utterances. Not being able to speak English, an interpreter repeated the discourse, sentence by sentence, in that language. At the conclusion of his discourse, the sage offered a prayer, interpreted like his address, phrased in the most devout and spiritual language, which deeply moved the hearts of all who listened.62
- First, unity of all peoples and elimination of hostility based on race, nationality, politics, religion and economics. This principle obviously would appeal to the servants present and to the lower social and economic classes, and also to the liberal-minded among the wealthy and the Bahá'í visitors. - Second, universal peace and elimination of war. At that time, on the eve of World War I, this must have seemed completely unattainable to the worldly among the audience, but it would be a reminder to all of the ultimate goal of this Faith – global peace and unity. - Third, independent investigation of independent religious truth and avoidance of blind superstition. What an astonishing idea this would seem to men and women for whom religion had always been understood as being based on mystery. It would certainly be attractive to any who hoped for a more open-minded and fair world. - Fourth, need for religion to be saved from superstition by the application of science and science to be tempered by the moral guidelines of religion. This would be of interest both to those who supposed that religion was too irrational, as well as to those who feared that the loosening of the ties of moral judgment to human learning could lead to chaos and destruction (a fear which was most clearly realized later, in World War II, which closed with the explosion of the atom bomb). - Fifth, equal rights of men and women. A tenet which would attract women who did not fear leaving behind their subservient position in society, and to men who did not fear living with women as equals. - Sixth, universal education in spiritual as well as material matters. This principle of all of them would have appealed most to the conservative nature of the local people. - Finally, He spoke about the need for a second birth into the celestial realms – only when the Manifestation has assisted us to attain this second birth can we understand spiritual realities. This final point is the key to the attainment of all those that came before – it is only through the personal transformation of the masses of humanity through their recognition of Bahá'u'lláh as the Manifestation of God for this day that the full import of Bahá'í social principles can be fully realized.63
People become interested and then lose their interest because you do not finish with them. They have their old superstitions, and their hearts are attached to them [--] after a while they become cool again. `They must have a new birth as His Holiness Christ said.' They must become Bahá'ís. That their idea that Bahá'ís are good is not enough. People are ignorant, they must become wise. They are blind and they must have sight, they are deaf, they must find hearing, they are sick, they must be treated, the children must arrive at maturity, they are earthly, they must become heavenly. Then they will become Bahá'ís.65
What His subject was I do not recall, nor does a single word of His address remain with me. My memory is all of the quiet New England church; the crowded pews, and `Abdu'l-Bahá on the platform. His cream-colored robe; His white hair and beard; His radiant smile and courteous demeanor. And His gestures! Never a dogmatic stroke of the hand; never an upraised warning; never the assumption of the teacher to the taught. But always the encouraging upward swing of the hands, as though He would actually lift us up with them. And His voice! Like a resonant bell of the finest timbre; never loud but of such penetrating quality that the walls of the room seem to vibrate with its music... I recall that as I left the church and joined some of the New York friends who were among the audience, I said to one of them: 'At last I know. Never again will I doubt or question.'66
He spoke for 50 minutes, most unusual. Yet the people were motionless, so great was the power of His words. I have never seen Him look as He did nor have I ever been so impressed except for that brief moment at Haifa. I spoke to Dr. [Ameen] Fareed about it. I asked if he had ever seen A.B. as He appeared today. He said, `Once before in Chicago when He was speaking in a church.' I asked what it was, and he replied, `it was ecstasy.'68

Determinants of Health |
About Through the work of researchers such as Sir Michael Marmot, we now understand that good health does not lie solely with medical interventions but also with living conditions and personal choices (4, 5). Determinants of health are lifestyle-based properties affected by broader social, economic, and political forces that influence quality of personal health. These attributes include but are not limited to education level, employment, income level and distribution, housing, childhood development, food security and nutrition, race, gender, and stress. Such factors have been shown to have marked associations with risks for different illnesses, life expectancy, and life-time morbidity. In recent decades, increasing health disparities in developed countries and between developing and developed countries have been associated with these social factors. While public health workers and policymakers seek to reduce this divide, they face challenges in designing and implementing programs that are comprehensive enough to address issues that have complex, long-term, causal relationships with specific disease pathways. However, both the motivation and action to develop effective research and intervention methods continue to grow in this field of public health (1). News/Events

We enjoy the Fall season and this design is both masculine and perfect for our October Wedding. We chose the rich chocolate print , gold shimmer backing card and envelope.

"Extremely happy with the service. They specifically put you with one artist to custom design your order and are able to get ahold of easily so that you are not going from person to person.

Overwhelmed with appreciation for the effort put into these cards. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas.

I first learned about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) from a popular magazine that called it "Yuppie flu." I should have looked for better sources of medical information, because that term clouded my view of the condition for years. And I wasn't the only one. A number of misconceptions and much speculation surround this mysterious disorder. Here are a few of the most common. Each is currently either unproven or untrue. But that could change over time. So, rather than calling them "myths," let's call them "claims." Claim #1: There is no set definition of CFS. This used to be true. But in 1994 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other international experts developed criteria to help define the condition partly to be reasonably confident that different researchers were studying the same disease. Practicing physicians may not routinely use these criteria in diagnosing an individual patient, but they are still the best definition of the condition we have. Besides persistent unexplained fatigue that is severe enough to impair activity, the diagnosis requires at least four of the following symptoms:
Claim #2: CFS is a new disease. Actually, conditions with symptoms strikingly similar to CFS go back at least several hundred years, although they went by different names. For example, it the mid-1700s, a condition called "Febricula" (little fever) was popular, while in the 1870s, a similar disorder was called "DaCosta's syndrome" (named for the American internist who described "utter fatigue with effort"). At the turn of the last century, "neurasthenia" was the accepted name, while "myalgic encephalitis," "Iceland disease," and "Royal Free disease" were used in different parts of the 1900s in different parts of the world. Names based on presumed causes were also common, including:
Claim #3: CFS is due to an infection. As the names above suggest, infection has long been considered a possible cause of CFS. This hasn't been proven, but it's understandable that an infection — one that the immune system cannot completely eliminate — would be the prime suspect. Part of the appeal of this theory is that CFS can begin suddenly in a previously healthy person, much the way that the flu or other severe, acute infections begin. There are many infectious diseases that cause prominent fatigue for prolonged periods: mononucleosis, hepatitis B and C are good examples. However, despite extensive research to identify an infectious cause, there is no conclusive evidence that CFS is an infectious illness. Even so, that does not rule out the possibility that a chronic infection (or the "fallout" from an infection) is to blame. In fact, recent research has focused on a herpes virus (called HHV-6), a common viral cause of rash and fever in infants and young children. Because most adults (95%) have been infected with this virus during childhood and because it can persist in the body for many years, it should not be surprising that this virus would be a focus of study for CFS researchers. Perhaps the virus is contained enough by the body to prevent damage to vital organs. But its persistence in the body might cause symptoms of low grade fever, fatigue and the other symptoms of CFS. Claim #4: CFS only affects women. It's true that there's a higher incidence of CFS among women than among men, but the ratio is only 2 to 1. And while those most affected are between the ages of 25 and 45, it can affect people of all ages, ethnic groups and economic backgrounds in addition to either gender. So, the idea that it only affects women or "yuppies" (young urban professionals) is not true. Claim #5: All test results are normal. Many routine tests for causes of fatigue are normal in CFS. In fact, that's part of the definition of the disease: to make the diagnosis of CFS, a doctor must rule out other causes of fatigue. So, blood counts, kidney function, liver tests, and thyroid tests are routinely checked to rule out anemia, kidney failure, hepatitis or thyroid disease as the cause of symptoms. These normal findings have led some physicians and patients to question whether CFS is "real." However, normal test results for common causes of fatigue doesn't mean all tests are normal. Actually, tests of brain function are often abnormal. For example, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, key parts of the brain that control a number of hormones and many of the body's vital functions, frequently demonstrate abnormal activity in people with CFS. In addition, many people with CFS have abnormal blood pressure responses to changes in position, suggesting that brain signals to the nerves controlling blood pressure are not functioning properly. Some researchers have found abnormal numbers or types of white blood cells, antibodies, or tests of immune function. Despite these findings, abnormal test results are not consistent or unique enough to suggest a cause or a treatment for CFS; and many people without CFS have similarly abnormal test results. So far, it's still uncertain if the abnormalities found in some people with CFS are related to the cause or an effect of the disease. In other words, we don't know if abnormal hypothalamus function triggers some cases of CFS or if CFS sometimes leads to abnormal hypothalamus function. Claim #6: CFS is due to an undiagnosed medical illness. This one is tricky. It's true that no specific medical illness has yet been identified as a cause of CFS. So at the present time, most physicians will consider this claim as false. In fact, researchers have noted more persistent and debilitating symptoms among people who believe an overlooked medical disease caused their CFS. But maybe these people are right! Just because no cause has been found yet doesn't mean one won't be found in the future. For a condition that can create such debilitating symptoms, physicians and researchers should acknowledge the lack of proof or disproof and at least consider the possibility that an underlying medical illness is to blame for CFS. Claim #7: People with CFS can't exercise. While exercise often makes symptoms worse in the short run, exercise is a mainstay of treatment for CFS. It's important that a person with CFS starts working out slowly and very gradually increases the amount of exercise over time. Some people suffering with CFS can't even tolerate minimal amounts of activity. But for most, it's beneficial. While a number of medications have been studied in the treatment of CFS, the best documented treatments for CFS don't involve medication: exercise and cognitive behavior therapy (a form of counseling). The Bottom Line While fatigue is a particularly common complaint, not all fatigue is CFS. There is much we do not understand about this condition. Separating what is known and what is unsubstantiated is not easy, but it's worth the effort. Maybe someday soon, we'll have a much better understanding about this mysterious condition.

I have tons of stickers in my front and back yard and wondered if there is a product to spread or spray to get rid of them? I fertilized and seeded grass 3 times this summer, and although the grass is sparse, the johnson grass, crab grass and stickers enjoyed the extra watering and food.At first I dug them by hand, but with the last rains the new crop is too numerous to to do that way. I am reluctant to use chemical warfare due to our proximity to the bay and channels around Ingleside. Is there a more "natural" method to eventually get rid of them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use to have the same problem and then I found this info and remembered my GF used sugar to get rid of stickers Just do an organic program, and that will take care of the weeds. I started putting sugar on my lawn 8 or 9 years ago, and the weeds started dying out right away. Sugar doesn't kill the grass or anything else. What it does, is it nourishes the beneficial microbes that work round the clock enriching the lawn. Fertilizers and other chemical products you buy for the lawn, kill all these microbes, and the beneficial nematoses and insects that feed on harmful insects. Earthworms, tunnel through the soil and keep it aerated, and their droppings ( castings) add nutrients. Toads, lizards and other harmless critters that cannot live in your yard iif you are using chemicals,will not be able to feed on insects. I used to spray once a month for insects, and it kind of kept them off my roses etc. Since I stopped using chemicals, I have no insect problems. I have no weeds in my lawn, because weeds like poor soil, and will not live long in rich soil. If I were you, I would broadcast 4 pounds sugar per 1000 sq,ft, and water it in well. Don't worry about the weeds. The microbes should start reproducing and all of the family of them will work on your lawn all winter. Apply sugar again in the spring, and next fall. Watr well each time. Watering to a depth of at least 6 inches encourages a deep root system, and deep roots help protect against heat, cold and drought damage. I am in North Texas, and have had the same kind of dry weather you are having up there. I watered only once a week, and my lawn ios still nice and green.When the top 3 or 4 inches of the soil are dry, there is still moisture down where the roots are. I just broadcast my sugar by hand, like feeding chickens. Some other things you can broadcast around the yard,that will just add more nutrients are lava sand and alfalfa meal. I go with the sugar and let the microbes enrich the soil, and the rich soil getting rid of the weeds. |

jolanaweb, thanks, I will try the sugar and alfalfa meal if I can find them. Our house was built on "cleared" land, almost no grass and no care to lawn by first owners. Our "soil" is sand, 2-4 feet deep in most places with some natural composted dead leaves...we are full of live oaks... and left- over house-build fill. I was hoping to encourage grass to help smother the weeds/stickers, but the soil is so iffy, I will take what I can get! Thanks for the advice. Always prefer to go natural, if possible. |
Jolana's advise on building the soil is the right goal but I would try a winter cover grass. Maybe rye, then try to get burmda sarted in warm weather. Grass burs or sand bur stickers should go away as you build your soil. Rye will leave considerable organic in the soil. |
I forgot to mention the more economical organic fertilizer is usually cotton seed meal. I buy it at the cotton oil factory in Richmond several hundred lbs at a time or 1 sack at the feed store. They had a cotton seed oil mill in C.C. when I lived there. |
- Posted by texasoiler2 Z9A (My Page) on Wed, Feb 3, 10 at 11:43
Tantanman, thank you for responding. Will try the rye next winter and go with bermuda again this spring. One half of front yard sun and other half shade with tree cover, so had gone with 2 different grasses last spring. At least they are "divided" by sidewalk, so pretty easy to seed. Thanks again for advice...Jill |

I sure like all the suggestions on this post. I don't know if they work but it sure sounds like it must, I am going to have to try this also, but what about the ants, I understood they love sugar. One way to remove them now is to make a device to pull behind, using burlap bags weighted down and pull it over the lawn, as it gets full make another and burn each of the bags when they won't pick up anymore. You will have to do this many times but it should get a lot of the seeds I know down this way the "stickers" are nut grass and I have putted them up by the "root" and place some inside a ziplock bag and laid them out on grating without any soil all summer and they were still growing as if they were still in the soil. This is without soil or water as the plastic bag kept everything out during a very hot summer. |

BRAZZA - Brushed Leather Shopper Tote
Do You Like This Product?
Get to know Daniele and Emi!
Talking directly to the owners has its advantages. Fill out this form to start the conversation:
The BRAZZA Shopper Tote is a large shopper tote full of character, memories, and emotions. If you hold it near your nose it will feel, in a word, authentic. If you take a moment to look at it you might get a response, in my case it made me think of my grandfather.
This is the bag to reach for when you need a lot of room, including space for some bulkier items, on relatively short trips, maybe to the office, to the grocery store, or to the boardwalk. It does not sport a long strap as it is clearly meant to be carried by hand. For a leather bag by Campomaggi, it is rather light. It has a zip top cover that leaves a hole at each end, perhaps to let the umbrella or the baguette stick out. There is a large zippered pocket inside that can be used to secure valuables from being within reach.
The bag feels very comfortable to carry. Both men and women will experience the power of its looks: it conveys experience and confidence with a touch of simple style.
Please note that the PATENTED TREATMENT these bags go through guarantees that no two bags are exactly alike. Because each "skin" is unique in the way it absorbs color, stretches and shrinks, each finished bag is distinct in its color, tonality, and texture. The resulting shape and size may also vary slightly.
Features:- Campomaggi logo badge on the back
- One zippered pocket (approx. 8.5"H x 11"W) and small smartphone-friendly accessory pocket on interior back wall

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
Structurally, the Kone XTD is built in two halves. The larger top section is ergonomically shaped for right handed people as it curves over the top to comfort your palm; it also drops off to the right to allow for a better wrist position. The left side is largely indented to give a lot of area to nestle in your thumb. There you will also find two buttons that are set by default as the page forward and the EasyShift[+] buttons. The top section has a lot going on. There is a strip that is LED backlit that runs almost the entire length from back to front that offers 16.8 million color choices and four individual control points. Between those shiny strips of plastic, you find the right click, left click, Titan Wheel, DPI on-the-fly buttons, and another button in front of the wheel, set as a Windows key by default. The right side of the mouse offers a nice, but much flatter shape to allow your fingers to snug up next to it. As for the lower section, it offers three PTFE feet and has a twist off cap covering the location for the additional weights provided if you wish to add them.
Technically speaking, you get an Avago ADNS sensor that allows for DPI control from 200 to 8200 DPI with 41 steps from one end to the other. This sensor can track up to 150 inches per second at 30g's of acceleration, and offers one to five millimeter lift of distance settings. You also get the STM32 F1, 32-bit capable, ARM Cortex MCP to read and send all of the inputs from the mouse and its buttons to the PC. As for the internal switches, there are a couple of metal pad switches used at the top, a TTC switch used to sense the Titan wheel and more plastic pad switches for the click and tilt functionality. The left side buttons are buttons are backed with Kaith switches and it is the first I recall seeing these ever, and then the main two buttons use Omron switches for durability where it is needed most. What I like most is that all of this gets packed in to a mouse that when it is all said and done, only weighs in at 90 grams, without the additional weights.
There is a slight down side to all of that technology and the sheer amount of features being offered in this newer version of the Kone. The pricing of the Kone[+] was closer to the $80 mark, and looking around, I see the price has since increased with this version. As I looked, I found both Amazon and Newegg asking $89.99 to get the Kone XTD to your door, and both are offering free shipping as well. I know a lot of gamers are happy spending thirty to forty dollars for what they sling around on the desk, but it is rare that you get more options than a couple of buttons, and maybe, just maybe the mouse is illuminated.
What you get here for your money is a mouse with top tier components, along with software that gives you ten times the functionality of the average mouse, even those with comprehensive software offerings. Till this day, I am yet see anything that offers close to what ROCCAT brings to the table, so that in itself has to justify most of this pricing.

Closing a loophole in the state's current dog fighting law, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law last week a measure that makes it a crime to possess animal fighting paraphernalia with the intention to violate state law.
The law defines animal fighting paraphernalia as any "equipment, products, or materials that are used, intended for use, or designed for use in the training, preparation, conditioning or furtherance of animal fighting."
It makes owning, possessing, selling, transferring or manufacturing animal fighting paraphernalia a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $500 on the first offense. Repeat offenses within five years could carry a one year jail term and a fine of up to $1000.
According to the sponsors, the legislation is aimed at protecting innocent animals from a growing number of animal fighting incidents by giving police and prosecutors new tools to stop dog fighters who, because of the underground nature of their crimes, are hard to catch in the act. Animal fighting is illegal in all 50 states — and even spectators can criminal charges in New York — but cases are hard to prove unless law enforcers witness the actual event.
"By outlawing the possession of fighting equipment, law enforcement officials and prosecutors will be given an extra tool when it comes to catching and punishing offenders," said state Sen. Patty Ritchie (R-North Country), the bill's Senate sponsor.
The items banned under certain circumstances include breaking sticks, which are inserted into a dog's mouth to relieve its hold on some things, and the actual fighitng pits where contests are held.
Ritchie's Queens collegues joined in support of the measure.
"This legislation closes a major loophole in the existing law in that individuals looking to purchase and use animal fighting paraphernalia will be severely punished," said Assemblyman Michael Simanowitz (D-Flushing) in an emailed statement "This will send a clear signal that New York State will not tolerate those who seek to harm and exploit defenseless animals for such sadistic purposes and our legislation reinforces this view."
"This bill is necessary to protect the rights of animals who are unable to speak up for themselves," said state Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside), a cosponsor. "By closing this loophole, we are sending a clear message that not only is the despicable sport of animal fighting illegal, anyone who possesses or deals in animal fighting paraphernalia will also be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Assemblyman Mike Miller (D-Woodhaven) said the bill hampers animal fight organizers, "and in some ways will stop them from breeding animals just for sport, just for fighting."
The law's prohibition of dog fighting equipment will deny individuals the ability to train the dogs and therefore there will be no incentive for them to breed the dogs for fighting, he explained.
"Specifically banning the sale and possession of animal fighting paraphernalia will close a loophole in the law and make those involved in this illegal activity more accountable for their heinous actions," explained North Shore Animal League America Senior Vice President of Operations Joanne Yohannan.
Last year Gov. Cuomo signed legislation further criminalizing attendance at animal fighting events; the law upgraded the penalty for spectators from a violation to a misdemeanor punishable by up to three months in jail and a $500 fine. A second offense can carry a penalty of up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

With the amount of rain we are getting in King County lately, I'm thinking of collecting rain water for gardening. Maybe an underground tank. Does anyone have experience/wisdom to share?
Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have a 1000 gallon inground tank and a 500 gallon above ground tank. We collect rain water from the downspouts into the 1000 gallon tank, then pump it up the hill to the 500 gallon tank. We then gravity feed it down to the vegetable garden where it's distributed by soaker hoses. It works well for us, but it isn't enough to last through the whole dry spell we usually have in August and September. However, we have a very large garden. For flower beds or a smaller garden, I think it would be sufficient. |
- Posted by dottyinduncan z8b coastal BC (My Page) on Sun, Nov 8, 09 at 16:54
Our water is metered and we get one bill Oct to April and another April to Oct. So the winter bill is without garden usage of course and it is something less than 25,000 imperial gallons in 6 months. Our summertime bill is 126,000. So we use more than 100,000 gallons of water on the garden. The area we live in is in a rain shadow so during that April to October period we get virtually no rain so anything green is sprinkled. btw, my lawn was not well watered so it was alive, but barely, and I could have used much more water on the veggie garden. I have about 1/2 acre of land around the house landscaped. |
- Posted by larry_gene z8/Sunset6 OR (My Page) on Sun, Nov 8, 09 at 23:51
...and 100,000 imperial gallons is about 120,000 U.S. gallons. A collection system to defray much of that water total would be massive. This 120K gallons equals about 0.37 acre-feet, so if 1/2 acre was evenly watered this would equal about 9 inches of rainfall. Of course the watering was uneven, but the 9" rainfall equivalent at least brings the 120,000 gallons down to earth! |
- Posted by dottyinduncan z8b coastal BC (My Page) on Mon, Nov 9, 09 at 10:53
larry gene, that's another interesting number. Spread over June to September, that's 16 weeks, so about 3/4 of an inch per week which is why my lawn wasn't green. Sometimes, I think we don't live in a rainforest, we live in a desert! |
120,000 gallons equals about 2,181 fifty five gallon oil drums, just to put it into perspective. Thatsa a lot of water and one heck of a lot of storage to make it work during the summer when we need it and it doesn't rain much. I have a few rain barrels and siphon off the water to high ridges with big trees where the ground is still dry a few inches down. I try to absorb as much water as possible throughout the season, with the excess going into a series of ponds that evens out the excesses of moisture we get at times here during the winter. A puddle in a landscape is as bad as a stub on a tree. Water control, and maximum usage, is of the utmost importance. |
I think we live in a desert too. |

King County has a permit process for rainwater collection and storage. You may want to check with them or just play ignorant. In Island County we can build up to a 5,000 gallon storage system without a permit. Maybe KC has something similar. I can't see continuing to have a good garden on Whidbey without using harvested rainwater. We're planning on one 5000 tank and four 1000 gallon tanks. Looks like we'll start with two 1000 gal tanks filled by the pig house roof. I think you can find a lot of good information on the State's Dpt of Ecology site. Tom |

We got 9 inches of rain. Yesterday. It was unreal, it just poured hard the entire day. |
- Posted by dottyinduncan z8b coastal BC (My Page) on Wed, Nov 18, 09 at 10:23
That's an amazing amount firefighter! We got 3 1/2 inches in the last "rain event". Interestingly, I dug down in a bed covered in arborist wood chips, under a huge fir and it was still dry 10 inches down. |

I have a medium-size lot, and I am going to begin saving gray water in a barrel for summer & fall watering. How can I use a rain barrel here in the PNW where it is dry in the summer and rains in the winter, & I don't have room for ponds, etc.? I read an article in our local newspaper about a local woman's garden, showing her rain barrels, but it didn't say how she used the water when she needed it---during the summer. (She also had a smallish city lot.) Any suggestions for me? |
- Posted by briergardener 7 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 25, 09 at 9:24
I am collecting water in two rain barrels that are standing under downspouts. I am also collecting big plastic jars from juices and so on. When my barrel is full and i have time, i fill my collection of jars with water. In spring i use these jars to surround some plantings. It works like Wall of Water for my tomatoes, which i surround with jars and cover with row cover together with jars. Water will heat during day and release heat during night. I also put jars with water in my unheated GH for heat collection and watering. In summer when rains are rare, i use some of my jars to collect kitchen water to carry to the garden. But recently i was pointed that because my roof is covered with asphalt shingles, i should not use collected water in my veggie beds. Now i am trying to collect rain water for GH and houseplant watering from GH plastic roof. Possible it's time to look for carbon downspout filters to try to catch toxins that can come from asphalt. Any ideas about this? |

Even if you don't know the way to San Jose, this trip will have you humming right along with Dionne Warwick. All you'll need to do is take Monday and Friday off, grab your clubs and get ready for a gorgeous drive from Silicon Valley up the Northern California coast. We've scheduled the rest.
Day One
Catch an early flight into San Jose International Airport. First arrivals from the East Coast land around 10:30 a.m., leaving plenty of time to rent a car and make it to the first tee before lunch. If you know anybody who is still a somebody at an area company that has not dot.bombed, hit them up to get you on CordeValle Golf Club, where members need not accompany guests. A half hour south of San Jose, CordeValle treats every player like a tour pro, right down to the Titleists on the driving range. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and includes a handful of elevated tee boxes that offer gorgeous vistas of the surrounding rolling hills.
If you can't wrangle your way on CordeValle, you won't be disappointed with Cinnabar Hills Golf Club, also just thirty minutes from the airport. There are three distinct nine-hole layouts: the Canyon (the prettiest), the Lake (the longest) and the Mountain (the most challenging). Truly memorable holes include the seventh and the ninth on the Mountain, where the tee shots crisscross, and the par-four seventh on the Canyon, a 351-yard uphill haul whose target is only visible thanks to an eleven-foot flagstick.
Hop back in the car and drive an hour over scenic Highway 17 to Santa Cruz. Park at the yacht harbor and grab a window seat at the Crow's Nest, perched above the blue Pacific. Order a frosty Crow's Nest Lager and soak up the sunset, followed by a heaping helping of surf and turf. Afterward, stroll along the famed Beach Boardwalk. If you're not too full, take a spin on the classic Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster. Spend the night at the Inn at Pasatiempo, cozy country lodging just off Highway 17.
Day Two
Experience the genius of Alister Mackenzie. His design for Pasatiempo Golf Club was a strong factor in impressing Bobby Jones to commission the good doctor to design a new course for him—called Augusta National. Every hole here is memorable, especially the sixteenth, which features a blind drive over a barranca and a challenging approach to a three-tiered, severely sloping green, where in 1996 Tiger Woods four-putted in the
final round of a collegiate championship. Mackenzie, who lived along the sixth fairway, called the sixteenth his favorite par four in all of golf. What Pasatiempo lacks in bark, at just 6,439 yards from the tips, it makes up in bite: rating 72.6, slope 139. An unforgettable golfing treasure.
From Santa Cruz, motor north along Highway 1 toward Half Moon Bay. Not much to do between the two towns, just an hour's worth of beautiful coastline to sit back and enjoy. Follow the stately signs to the Ritz-Carlton resort, which opened last spring. Get a room with access to the fifth-floor club lounge, with its killer view, coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening, and savory snacks served throughout the Day. Eat, drink and get merry by the fire.

Chicago at a Glance: Lincoln Avenue
Travel Tips — By adamgauzza on March 31, 2012 at 7:07 amWelcome to Lincoln Square! This entryway greets visitors at the intersection of West Lawrence Ave. and North Lincoln Ave. If you're driving, take it slow. There's much to be seen, and the road is narrow. If you're strolling, take your time and enjoy.
I found your piece using "Google". This is a really nice article…
Your family will feel like they are eating at an authentic italian restaurant after eating this dish.
When we think about taking a trip as well as vacations, the first thing that we consider is to locate a hotel room.
In my point of view, the brilliance place to shop for restaurant furniture is from a household furniture wholesaler.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Search and rescue workers and other horse owners are being trained on how to use their horse during an emergency.
The riders are being trained this weekend on how to handle a horse in rough terrain, and how to keep the horse from being spooked by loud noises or lots of activity.
The trainers say the riders have to receive as much instruction as the horses and this weekend, they will be putting them through a variety of simulations.
"We're going to use smoke, fire, lights, sirens, bridges, shredded tarps, a helicopter, pretty much anything your horse can possibly encounter," Bill Richey, with National Mounted Police Services.
The training continues this weekend at south stage stables, and the public is invited to attend.

Team Natus Vincere, latin meaning born for victory, was formed in 2009 by two top-tier Ukrainian teams who in less than two years have become the eSports team to beat. With gold medals from 2010′s Intel Extreme Masters World Championships in Hannover, the Electronic Sport World Cup Finals in France, and the World Cyber Games Grand Finals in USA, this brogue of gamers wear and represent the SteelSeries logo proudly. Partake in the excitement with the Na`Vi Limited Edition QcK+ mousepad.
Team Na`Vi players dominate in Counter Strike, FIFA, DotA and StarCraft II.
The SteelSeries QcK+ (Natus Vincere) mouse pad has a non-slip rubber base that prevents the pad from slipping when you use it. Also the rubber ensures that you have maximum comfort for your wrist and hand on the pad at all times.
The heavy thickness of this special edition Qck+ makes it a perfect companion for LAN events or places with an uneven gaming area underneath the pad. This particular edition of the Qck+ is 4mm thick, which places it between a normal Qck and Qck Heavy.
The SteelSeries QcK series has been optimized and tested with professional gaming teams for the past decade. From the mini to the heavy, the QcK series offers something for every gamer regardless of their space and set-up.
The cloth surface on QcK+ provides a smooth and steady glide regardless of the tabletop or surface that it's place on.
It is crucial to find the correct size of your mouse pad, both in terms of what suits your needs, but also in what space requirements you have to adhere to. The SteelSeries QcK+ is XXL in size, providing a surface are for all types of FPS, MMO and RPS players and grip styles.
Dimensions: 400 x 450 x 4 mm / 15.7 x 17.7 x 0.16 in
Both the Electronic Sports World Cup, the World Cyber Games and the IEM 4 World Championships titles for 2010 belong to Na`Vi.
Na`Vi's Yegor "markeloff" Markelov took 1st when HLTV.org completed their list of 2010′s top20 Counter-Strike players.
Natus Vincere cashed in over $200,000 in gaming championship prize money in 2010. Bill Gates better watch out.
Most gamers are familiar with the term "red eyes", when referring to aggressive play style. Na`Vi's choice of color could be a statement.

Poor dention of the English is recorded as far back as when sugar was introduced to the upper classes and coveted to the point of their teeth falling out in the 14th century. In the Victorian Era, it was fashionable to have rotting dentistry. Having black teeth displayed your affluence and ability to afford sugar products and confectionaries. Some upper-class citizens used to paint their teeth black to emphasise the effect.

Google (and perhaps other search engines, but who uses those?) has made finding information easier than ever. Unfortunately, this phrase comes with a wide range of caveats. Finding information that isn't current can be quite a challenge, and the first pages are often flooded with results from sites like Yahoo! Answers, which rank a few rungs higher than Wikipedia on the list of websites not to use as sources on college papers.
Update: Now it's available in the store here. Widget added below.
While the desktop world races to create the world's most powerful browser, and even browser-based OSes, the mobile world moves towards simplicity.
It's not exactly news that mobile devices are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to consume data. From Twitter feeds to RSS, it's becoming increasingly common to see people reading on their devices, whether it be a tablet, e-reader or phone.
The Search for Simplicity
However, a problem I ran into was that not all web sites are optimized for reading on a mobile device. While some sites have the decency to have a mobile theme, others load in full view and have trouble wrapping text to a zoomed-in screen.

Here is one of a series of video interviews I did with FFO (Filipinos for Obama) Volunteers. I interviewed a few folks when people had the time and energy.
As part of CAAM's Election Initiative for 2008, I will be blogging about my personal experiences with civic engagement in the Asian American community during this past election. Here are some short stories, responses, ephemera collected from the road during the brief time I signed up with the Barack Obama presidential campaign.

Calling all Obamaphiles and McCaniacs, hockey-moms and Joe Six-packs, Democrats and Republicans, Independents and Undecideds! On November 4th this historic election will usher in a new day in America and it will be time to set aside our differences, reach across the aisle, join hands in solidarity, bury the hatchet, raise a glass and PARTY LIKE IT'S 1999! But the best part, my friends, is that in this time of economic uncertainty—IT'S FREE!
During the election season the Center for Asian American Media, in collaboration with the National Minority Consortia and Diversity Beat, brought public broadcasting and public radio election-related stories from different communities within the growing minority electorate. Check out the CAAM Election 2008 page for post-election reflections and watch the stories produced by NMC fellows through Diversity Beat.
