Hello, I am new to this. I laid down some SA sod on 09/2/13, I basically tilled the yard, raked and leveled the lawn. Like I said, I am new to this and I guess I did'nt do much homework. So far certain areas of the lawn are looking yellow, brown. I want to say most of it looks green but I am worried that I am doing something wrong. I live is South Texas and it has been raining mostly everyday since I installed it, the grass looks like it is growing but would like some help. I decided to add Milorganite to my lawn to see if this can give it a boost, I added this yesterday, 09/19/13. I don't have a picture of the lawn at the moment, I plan on taking some this afternoon especially of the problem areas. Is there anything I can do to make sure that the grass will become established? I also have weeds growing around the areas, can I spray anything to prevent weeds, or do I wait? Any help or comments will be greatly appreciated.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just make sure the sod is being given adequate water to set its roots. Its cooler now---not so much heat, so the grass will grow for a time. I'm not that familiar with St Aug grass as far as when you should cut it.....ask your neighbors---especially the ones that have a nice lawn of the same type of grass. I think St Augustine grass grows best when allowed to grow a bit higher...3"....4" ....it will shade out the weeds. If you must apply a herbicide (weed killer) do so with a hand sprayer to hit the weed....not the young grass....you don't want the young establishing roots to be harmed. As far as yellowing grass, that could be nothing but some sod pieces drying out from sun after it has been hit with water. |

Weeds: you need to identify them as either grassy weeds or broadleaf weeds. Grassy weeds look like a different kind of grass. For those you can usually just let the St Augustine grow up really tall (5-6 inches) before mowing. That means mow every other week at your mower's highest setting. For broadleaf weeds you will need to dig them out or use a spray with Atrazine. Most broadleaf weed killers will also kill St Aug, but Atrazine seems to work okay as long as the temperature is not going to be above 85 degrees for a couple days. Spectracide makes on in a black bottle with a purple label. We just got a cold front come through. Don't know where you are but you must be south of San Antonio to have gotten the daily rains. If you are not too far south, the temps might be cooling off for you, too. Fertilizer: You are perfectly fine with the Milorganite. Any organic can be used at any time. You might start checking prices at your local feed stores for ordinary corn meal. Brown spots: If this is a fungus (and I would need to see a picture), then apply the corn meal at a rate of 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet once now and again 3 weeks later. This is the time of year that St Augustine really spreads and thickens. If this cold front hit you, too, look for runners spreading as much as 5 feet in the next few weeks. Unless you specifically ordered a dwarf variety, always mow St Aug at the mower's highest setting. It uses less water, survives better in the heat, and survives dry soil better. Establishing the lawn: As goren mentioned, the sod needs to be moist all the time for about 3 weeks. It does NOT need to be saturated. You only need to moisten the sod and the very top level of the underlying soil so the roots will grow into it. Watering too long, 3x per day, will often kill St Augustine. Just keep it alive and the roots will knit into the underlying soil in a couple weeks. Once you get the grass established, start deep watering. Deep means 1 full inch to start. Time your sprinkler to see how long it takes to get an inch. Use cat food or tuna cans to measure. Water the grass at that depth and watch it carefully. See if it will go a full week without the grass looking wilted or the color changing to a darker green. Also watch for the grass blades folding together. Any of those signs means it needs another inch of water. Eventually, and pretty soon, you will be watering only once every week, and then 2, 3, and 4 weeks as the grass roots deepen. Next time you put in a new yard, do not rototill it. That fluffy soil is starting to settle now but it will not finish settling for 3 years. When it does finally settle, you will have a very bumpy surface. You'll start noticing the bumpiness next spring. If you soil is too soggy to mow, do not worry. I have St Aug in George West that is anywhere from 12 inches to 32 inches high. That grass loves being tall. You can mow it when the soil dries out. Never mow St Aug when there is dew on it or the soil is too soft. Just wait for it to dry. If you take pictures, take them on a cloudy day (like last week!). If the Sun is shining bright, the contrast is too much to see what we're looking for. Also for the yellow and brown grass, please get the camera about 3 inches away. Take a picture of the grass that is yellow and the green grass at the edge of the brown grass. |

Thank you for responding. I live in Brownsville,Tx. Like I said we have had rain everyday, today is the first day without any. I took pics but I took them today. Certain areas look bad, but I don't know if that's normal. I'm afraid of losing the lawn and I just want to make sure I'm doing ok. How long does it take for the the sod to root? I have been pulling at areas and some have small white roots and other areas seem they are already in the ground. Also I have seen fire ants around and in the lawn. I treated that today with a product from Walmart, do red ants affect the sod? I have uploaded some pics, and thanks again for your help! I was told this was SA grass, can you confirm with these pics? |

I don't know if these pics help, I took them with my iPad. |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Mon, Sep 23, 13 at 1:30
Pictures are a big help! Thanks Firstly: yes, that is St Augustine. There are almost no insects that hurt St Augustine. Fire ants might smother part or eat the roots, but generally they are just a nuisance...as you well know. The red ants are not a problem. Any tiny hopping insects you see are not a problem. By the way, corn meal is a low grade organic fertilizer. You will see the lawn green up about 3 weeks after you apply it. With the second application of corn meal, you may not need to fertilize again until next April (after the spring flush of rapid growth is over). If you stick with Milorganite, you can apply that any time and not have a problem. Keep checking to see that the sod is knitting down into the underlying soil. |

Thank you so much, I will go and buy the corn meal today and apply this afternoon. I appreciate your time and help!!! |

Ok, I applied corn meal to my lawn on 09/23/13 when I got home. I was wondering what should I be looking for. Should the lawn continue to yellow, brown out? Or should it not spread? Also I wanted to know about watering, the last time I watered was on Saturday. I haven't watered since, like I had mentioned we got a lot of water the first 3 weeks of when I laid down the sod and I don't want to over water. At this point how frequently should I be watering, this is the 4th week since laying down the sod…… Thanks! |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Wed, Sep 25, 13 at 23:09
Watch for the blades with lesions to die. They will be replaced with new blades. Those new blades should not have the disease and should not get it. Watch the grass very carefully. As soon as any of it looks wilted, water it immediately. Water a full inch. I know it is warming back up...we had 92 again today in George West. By stretching out the time you water, it forces the roots to grow deeper. Tough love. If the grass looks okay still on Saturday, go ahead and water an inch. Then I would look to really extend for next time. See if it will go 10 days, but be ready at any time. And I would not mow until it gets up to 5 inches. Then mow it back to 4. |

Curtis DVD Home Theater Speaker System
The SVA 42″ Plasma TV creates a moving, um, movie experience, rather than just another movie night. Stylish and elegant, the TV is just over 3″ deep and never detracts from the ambience of the room—yet it's always the center of attention. It combines HDTV compatibility (720p/1080i), integrated home theater audio, built-in TV tuner, futuristic developed panel, widescreen viewing, high brightness, and a superior 700:1 contrast ratio. Features 852×480 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio, progressive scan, and 160° viewing angle. The separate AVC (Audio, Video and Computer) system holds all inputs and outputs, and a PC connection, reducing the cables, thus eliminating any unsightly distractions. TV is wall-mount compatible with the purchase of wall-mount brackets (sold separately). 110 lbs. (with stand). 25-1/2Hx46-1/4Wx3-3/4D". Once demanding tens of thousands of dollars, gas-plasma flat-panel displays have entered the realm of current real-world HDTV prices. One such newly affordable plasma display is SVA's widescreen HD4208TIII, a 42-inch set using a Samsung plasma screen with 852 x 480 native pixel resolution. The set gives you true EDTV (480p, progressive-scan) resolution as well as inputs compatible with full-resolution 720p and 1080i HDTV signals (optional set-top box decoder/receiver required) as well as analog PC signals up to 1,600 x 1,200 through a VGA input.
A plasma screen gives you vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile–the HD4208TIII is a mere 3.9 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems. The HD4208TIII offers 160-degree viewing angles, high 700:1 contrast, and typically luminous 600 cd/m2 brightness.
On this display, SVA uses a dissymmetrical unit structure from Samsung for the optical elements, which greatly improves tricolor illumination balance over previous models. Moreover, the set's advanced plasma AI system can automatically increase the discharge frequency on gray and dark scenes to precisely control brightness levels. Thus, images become clearer, more natural, and generally more vivid. The set also features a pure-black driving system to enhance black-level regeneration and pure-gamma rectifying technology, which produces 1,024 gray levels for extremely detailed home theater viewing. The 24-bit real-color display can realize 16.7 million colors with good reducibility.
SVA's 72 Hz line-by-line scanning technology thoroughly eliminates any flickering of 60 Hz NTSC TV pictures. And, unlike many plasma sets, the HD4208TIII doesn't need an RF commutator between it and your cable box; you'll be able to enjoy pristine, high-contrast cable images (at standard cable resolution) right out of the box. The unit's stereo speakers are powered by a generous 12 watts per channel.
Inputs consist of the above-mentioned VGA computer input, one each composite, S-video, RF (for antenna or VCR/cable box signal), and HD component-video, and four accompanying stereo analog (left/right) RCA inputs for your associated source components (DTV set-top box, satellite receiver, PVR, VCR, DVD player, etc.). An composite-video based audio/video output lets you feed an SD (standard-definition) interlaced video signal to a PVR or VCR.
Features SVA HD4208TIII-PDP 42-Inch Flat-Panel Plasma EDTV
- 42-inch gas-plasma display with EDTV (up to 480p) native resolution; 46 x 28.9 x 14.9 inches (W x H x D) with stand
- High 700:1 contrast ratio, luminous 600 cd/m2 brightness
- 852 x 480 native pixel resolution; accepts 720p and 1080i HDTV signals
- PC input with image scaling for up to 1,600 x 1,200 resolution
- Wide, 160-degree viewing angles; proprietary cable-TV RF interface offers pristine images right out of the box

The 2008 film "Expelled" stirred controversy by exposing the scientific community's prejudice against those who question the theory of evolution.
Professor -- and now author -- Caroline Crocker appeared in the documentary.
She claimed her contract as a biology professor at George Mason University was not renewed after she challenged Darwinism and referred to intelligent design during one of her lectures.
After that, Crocker said she quickly realized it would be hard for her to find another teaching job. The experience is now the subject of her new book Free to Think: Why Scientific Integrity Matters.
Crocker spoke with CBN News about the book and being shunned by her colleagues for challenging students to open their minds on the issue of Darwinism and other scientific ideals.

Set in Cold War Britain and Europe in the early seventies, the titular characters are British intelligence agents operating in the dark world of espionage. Their spy nest is a mean place where the top men are jaded by decades together in a job that is never done, and unable to trust one another.
These civil servants (Colin Firth, Toby Jones, Ciarán Hinds, Mark Strong, David Dencik) are trying to hold on to the idea that what theyre doing is useful despite evidence to the contrary.
Longtime boss Control (John Hurt) is about to take the heat for a case-related murder in Hungary a year earlier. He recalls George Smiley (Gary Oldman in fierce form) from enforced retirement to ferret out a Russian mole within the highest ranks of the organization. A rogue spy (Tom Hardy) has treasure, information gleaned from a female spy that could lift the lid off a major can of worms.
Subtlety is the key to le Carré and Alfredsons approaches. Actually subtle is an understatement. The spies operate at a temperature well below room, trained never to give themselves away, and they have become what they learned. A raised eyebrow, a lingering look, taking a beat too long to walk to a car, a shadow of a muscle movement is the sum of expression.
Theyre constantly under friendly and enemy surveillance and innocuous giveaways can lead to death and political devastation.
Some things arent so subtle, like the recurring images of chess board, intertwining stair cases that lead nowhere, and depth of field into endless empty office space represent the nature of the game. Spies can follow cases over decades and get nowhere. And there is no one to understand the information and context they carry or a way to pin down the wavering loyalties of the game.
The film represents a small miracle in storytelling. From the dense and nearly impermeable British TV series, the filmmakers have gleaned a smart 127 minutes while being faithful to story and the characters, inimitable feel and tone of original. And the neatly put together package is more accessible than the impermeable Alec Guinness outing.
The cinematography is wickedly stylish. Frame by frame there is great artistry. It opens up the claustrophobic world of the story with its buildings, shabby and well worn, grand architecture and its representation of a world that is changing and maybe not for the better.
The past its prime, room décor and the perpetual chill and rain create an authentic world of a country still reeling economically from WWII and now battling a new enemy from the east.
Tomas Alfredson directed the critically acclaimed Let the Right One In with a spare aesthetic, and he works his magic here with fearless use of silence, stunning visuals and barebones scripting.
With so much to take in, so much richness in the characters and their milieu, that the film bears repeat viewings to find added treasure. Its an astonishing distillation of the TV series, and faithful to the unique le Carré spirit. Its a bygone era where no technology could come to the aid of the soldiers beyond a teletype and borrowed telephone.
Oldman and Alfredson are no brainers come awards season.

guest post: ashley turner
feed your soul.
the past couple of years i have often felt like my life has been one big transition, but then again isn't that what life is? growth, exploring, and creating our lives is always going to feel like a big transition to build the life we want or hope for. it's just a matter of how we handle and walk through it. being a part of today's creative world where everything is so global, accessible to anyone, DIY on pinterest, and we can learn almost anything on youtube…as a photographer lately i have found myself often overwhelmed anytime i am surfing the web, logging on to facebook, or even pinterest for that matter. so much so that i have been turned off by all of the mass social media. in a sense i have let it discourage me more than i have let it inspire me because it has lead me to comparison and visual overloads have blocked my own visions. and you know what? it's taken me a while to admit that i've felt a little visually drained.
recently, i stumbled upon one of my favorite quotes of all time that i believe to be so true:
"to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." –ralph waldo emerson
i believe it to be even more true in today's world where we are blossoming with more creative people everyday which deep down i think is a beautiful thing to be in a society where most want to inspire others. with that being said, i think the magic behind all of that is being true to ourselves in all of these crazy transitions and the process of building a creative life in a society that is so influenced by social media. the only way our creations, writing, yoga classes, or whatever your path may be will soar is if we embrace our true colors and let them shine so bright. so wake up each day and embrace yourself and all that you've got stirring inside of you. feed your soul little by little very day and watch it grow and guide you.
take risks. dare yourself. start creating that masterpiece you are unsure about. experiment with different mediums. cuddle in bed with a book that feeds your soul. do something little you've always dreamt about. publish that blog post you wrote but are too afraid to put yourself out there. sprint straight into the ocean and dive in the waves. walk around your neighborhood barefoot and feel the wind hit your skin. surround yourself in the ones who make you feel most 'you.' and promise yourself with as busy as life gets you will do at least one little thing for yourself each day to be the truth you've got stirring inside of you.
when we create from our heart we are free. when we create we feed our soul. and when we feed our soul, we grow. so i'll leave you with one more quote i love by kurt vonnegut and a photo that i recently took while working in uganda that might shine a little light in your life:
"the arts are not a way of making a living. they are a very human way of making life more bearable. practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. dance to the radio. tell stories. write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. do it as well as you possibly can. you will get an enormous reward. you will have created something."

MB – loving this beautiful, soul-warming space of yours. Truly, I resonate with so much that you're saying! That said, this guest post by Ashley is great.

Dear eric, After mixed reviews on Hot Topics i am a changed person.
First i want to give you my sympathy for your Bells Palsy. I am really sorry and i hope you no longer have it and that it does'nt hurt any. I apologise for undermining your wisdom. I'm sure you are a very smart man. You have been here a long time. Wether i agree with you or not is beside the point. i suspect you like me injoy giving what advise you can to leave behind. Sometimes i hate the stroke that took so many of my words. Oh well, we can't have everything, Can we?
Follow-Up Postings:
First of all, I hope that you will have many years left, in as good health as possible with whatever type of care you choose. I've never felt insecure because you or anyone was "undermining my wisdom". If I'm wrong about something and can be shown it with evidence, that's a good thing. I've learned quite a bit about herbal remedies, good and bad over the years I've spent in this forum. A key is to respect each other enough to confine disagreements to the topic at hand, and not look at someone shooting down an idea as taking aim at you personally. About the Bell's palsy, thanks - that's not troubling me any more (it's a temporary condition for all but an unfortunate minority). |

As most everybody knows by now, I really don't like the anonymous hockey blogger known as Eklund. I don't like him for saying Ryan Smyth had been re-signed by Edmonton moments before he was dealt to Long Island. I don't like him for defrauding the poor saps who pay money for his inside information. I don't generally indulge in moralist rants here, (*begins moralist rant*) but I find the whole enterprise of collecting money for poorly spelled lies repugnant, and I think the MSM types (Rogers Sportsnet, Versus) who provide him with an outlet are staining their reputations and the MSM types who write for him (Tim Panaccio, Andy Strickland, Howard Berger) have sold theirs.
/end moralist rant
In any case, whatever my feelings about him personally, Eklund's a busy guy, and I understand that it's difficult for him to correspond with everyone who wants to ask him questions. Thus, I've decided to field questions for him.
Hey so what exactly was that trade between Montreal and Edmonton and could it happen in LA? – Nick on Twitter.
On behalf* of Eklund: Well, I don't want to get into too much detail on the trade, so I'll answer your second question first: yes, the trade could happen in L.A. Unfortunately, in my NHL 2010 game there isn't a lot of dealing done around the draft, and by the time summer roles around I'll be able to pickup free agents. Besides, with Nikolai Khabibulin playing awesome for me I don't really need anything from the Canadiens so I think I might just move on.
Honestly, I don't mean to be a dick but when's the last time there was anything to any story you brought up? Serious question. – Chuck Jones.
On behalf* of Eklund: I predict I'm going to take a bite of my delicious grilled cheese sandwich after I dip it in ketchup. (Dips sandwich in ketchup, takes a bite). BOOM! How do you like that, Chuck? And as for hockey-related stories, I'll have you know that I often re-tweet things Kevin Allen writes, without including his name. So, yeah, I'm right a lot.
So you said there was a Flyers trade last week…do you just randomly tweet BS to get ratings? – Hot Sports Plays.
On behalf* of Eklund: Let me consult my magic eight ball… it says "Outlook not so good."
Please tell me the Devils are thinking about replacing Lemaire.. even if not.. Lie to me lol. – Scotty K.
On behalf* of Eklund: The devils are looking at new coach… could be burns or rogers (e1).
That's all the time I have for today, but it makes me glad* to know that I've helped Eklund out in some small way.
* Footnote: Not really.

Runaway... Good luck Saturday this is BQ time right ?
carunninggirl.... dont forget the umbrella keep the feet dry
hg... Hope the cold is winding down.
mac... GL on 5k
SS...how's the body recovering mine is a lol slow but have run a few times..
brent... Lov the piano hauler lol I have had those myself.
me... Just gym ice the knee and stay vaca so no rushing around but I did a recon on the hyannis course down the cape looks pretty flat
Take it easy RF1! I'm even starting to think pushing too hard too soon may be why I'm . How about some cycling?
Mac, good luck in the 5K!
SS enjoy the shake out run!
Thanks for the well wishes everyone! Runnermom, Terry, Brent, SS, RF1 and everyone else, you are so right. I'm betting I would have finished the race in the ER. I'm still a mess, and no running. I tried some light weights and spin bike today but it was hopeless. Every muscle in my body has been removed and replaced with limp burning frozen noodles filled with lead and sawdust.
Runaway, Good luck on Saturday!!! And you're right, that new shirt is hanging on the bed post…patiently waiting...
Have a good flight Terry!
Next Marathon: Eisenhower Marathon, Abilene Ks. 4/11/15
CARunningGirl - hopefully the weather will work itself out, looks like a little less rain in the forecast now.
RunAwayLaurel - I'm not too worried about the hills, it's hilly like that where I live, so I'm used to it. I just know I have to take it a little easier
SS - race is on Sunday, I'm getting psyched.
I'm not sure about the KT tape yet, used it on Sunday on my medium long run, haven't used it since. Might be better for recovery? My Achilles isn't really swollen, just a little tender. It's been okay for my 10k races, intervals and long runs, so I think it'll be okay.
SRD for me today, 4 more runs until race day. I might not do the Saturday run in Seattle, I wouldn't even know where to run. I could just do the 4 runs in a row, t-w-t-f, but then there isn't a rest day. They're all recovery and low mileage runs, only the rehearsal has any speed in it.
PRs: 10k - 44:20 (11/13) 15k - 1:13:16 (9/14) HM - 1:46:29 (06/14) FM - 3:58:29 (12/13)
Upcoming races: Shamrock HM - 03/15 / BMO Vancouver Marathon - 05/03
HG... Sorry to hear the body won't Cooperate nothing worse when the body can't keep up with the mind. That's how I feel,I want to go run a FM this weekend but my body is saying FU lol ,I am back doing the bike at the gym plus the weights,I going to try and run just 3 an test the knee if I have pain I will stop and force myself to take time off but that is very hard for me.
drock... I would think you would have some rest days before the FM I would def. take off the day before not that I'm an expert lol
me gym then attempt 3 and then enjoy no work run runs to all
Rf1- yes this is BQ attempt #1. I am calling it that because I'm really doubting myself (normal taper doubt I hope!). And take it easy on the knee. Marathons do weird things to connective tissue, so be careful and take extra time off if you need to!
Honky- get well soon.
Drock- I usually do 2 or 3 miles on marathon eve, but this time I'm running Monday, tues, thursday (easy 5 mile race), and taking Fri off.
Me- this is my first truly cold long race. I have only ever raced 5k's when it's sub-30 degrees at the start. Since I can't have any influence on anything running-wise, I've been overthinking my race attire. Tights? Shorts?
5K: 22:24 (12/2013), Half: 1:49:02 (5/2013), Full: 3:37:07 (11/2013)
RunFor1 - I hadn't even thought of an umbrella, but I think I will get a super cheap throwaway one, thanks!
honky - take it easy!
drock - I'd say less is more at this point, I'm just running today, and thursday.
laurel - do you have crops? I'm debating clothing also, between shorts/skirt and crops, it's the rain that's messing with me.
Blog: http://terryruns.wordpress.com5k - 22:56 (2011) (unofficial 21:37 - 2014) 10k - 45:24 (2014) HM - 1:44:27 (2014) FM - 3:42:54 (2014)
I was discharged from PT yesterday as my Achilles hasn't had any issues for 2 weeks, even after running the marathon. . I promised myself that I would take 2 weeks off of running completely, but I'm really itching for a run, especially pre-Thanksgiving dinner.
Good luck this weekend, Laurel! And to you too on your 5k, Mac!
Me - Real quick post. I'll be back later. Meeting with seperate account managers in a little bit and I need to do some prep Ran 4 miles last night. 20 degrees and WINDY! Ach. heel is still bugging me but with a warm-up it feels fine. I also checked the forecast for my Turkey Day 5k and the race start temps are expected to be 10-12 degrees Ouch!
Splits: 8:20, 6:26, 8:31 and 8:37.
A Sub 20:00 is highly unlikely but under 21:00 with my broken training plan will be nice.
Drock, I'm as excited as you are… your PR is going to get blown out of the water! Don't hesitate to take an extra day off. Those last runs are just to stay loose.
Thanks Runnaway and Terry! RF1- I agree, my body is old and beat up, but my mind has sights on winning the olympic marathon… but then I always wake up
Dreamn… congrats for graduating PT! I hope you never need another refresher course!
Runaway, I would go with tights if it's windy, shorts if not. And of course the throw-away shirt. Good luck again!
Mac, I ran a 21:02 over the summer in prime shape… I bet you can't kick my ass (reverse phycology)
Me- going backward today. My band had a gig yesterday, and I came home totally beat. Did the hot-cold, double sweats one minute, top of the covers the next, thing all night. Felt half ok this morning, and tried some sit-ups and the room started spinning. Got on my spin bike and lasted 5 pethetic minutes. No-go. Headed for a hot bath and some soup now. This is the holiday season, and my band plays again tonight and tomorrow night, and then over the weekend. No calling in sick… I bet Brent knows what I'm talking about! I'm pretty sure I'm going to take the rest of the week off from workouts and forget about being a marathon runner, and pick it back up next week. Very busy weekend coming up with the music and my anniversary
Runnerway... I like the shorts for the race ,I like my legs to be free.
CRG... I hope the rain stops then no worries for the race and less to think about.
dreamn.... Good to here the PT is done now slow and easy lol like me so nothing else hurts..
Mac.. Sounds like HG has drawn a line in the sand lol good luck.
Hg. The show must go on
me .. Did 3 miles in my new mizuno inspire 9 felt good and knee only had couple zings so more ice today and keep fingers crossed , but I don't think it could be anything major since I was able to run hit the gym did some bike and weights also.
good runs to all.
Hey Drock - really looking forward to a solid performance. All the hard work is done. Good luck again. Can't wait.
HG - Happy Anniversary!!
Me - have run a measly 10K since the marathon. Been doing some strength training, which I dislike. But I still remember a HG post that said something about getting old and having man boobs and skinny arms. I don't want that either. Overall recovery is going very well. Looks like I'll be running with a bit of snow falling tonight.
Goals - 3:45 marathon (Glass City April 26th, 2015).
RF1 - Hyannis is a great location for a marathon (I've been there), but February seems a little early. What kind of weather will you be expecting?
Speaking of weather, mac, get through it and look forward to a hot shower and the a slice of pumpkin pie. CARunningGirl & Drock - Rain in Seattle? Go figure. Here's to a great run regardless.
Laurel - It sounds like you're ready. I'm looking forward to your RR.
I have played gigs sick a few times, HG. I always found playing to help some. It's moving the equipment that reminds you of how bad you feel.
Honky - hope you're feeling better and happy anniversary
runAwayLaurel - take it easy in the race, one day isn't much to recover
mac - good luck in your 5k, hopefully not too cold
Sounds like everyone is recovering well from their marathons.
Me - just an easy 10km (6.2mi) at around a 6:00/km pace (9:45/mi). Tomorrow is my dress rehearsal run, 11km with 3km at race pace (7mi with 2 miles at race pace). I'm going to use 5:30/km (8:50/mi) as my flat land pace.
Drock- I know I need to chill at the race, I'll have my husband with me so hopefully he'll help keep my wits about me... It'll be chilly and crowded which will slow me down too. Good luck with your dress rehearsal run and have a great race Sunday!
Rf1- I like shorts too. I think I'll bring lots of options with me and play it by ear.
CARunner- I don't have crops, though that sounds like the perfect choice. Hope the rain forecast clears up for you.
me- I skipped my run last night in favor of relaxing. Today is off too because I have a minor medical procedure this afternoon (I am clearly terrible at scheduling my life!). Turkey trotting in the morning, cooking and eating all afternoon. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
The weather could be snow ,sleet ,rain and cold you never know here in the north east, they had cold and sleet this year I heard it was miserable lol. Today weather 40 to 50 MPH wind gust and heavy rain but warm 53.
Drock1969,runawaylaurel good luck with your races
Me ... did another 3.2 in heavy rain and 40 to 50 MPH wind gust it was fun and warm, then hit the gym
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your family's be safe
GOOD LUCK and RACE WELL to Drock, CAR_Girl and Laurel
I'll be munching on leftover turkey (probably curried) and sending you energy!!
happy thanksgiving all
Alright everyone! Enjoy time with family and eat lots of good food! Ohhhh and thank whomever is preparing it all too I'm giving a newer pair of tights a GO tomorrow during the race. I've never raced with them and figured the Turkey Trot is a perfect opportunity.
Goal: Anything in the 20:XXs would be great! Since my 1:36hrs at Monster Dash I've been awful at running and very little speed work. It'll be interesting to say the least!
Race well everyone who is running! Have some fun!
I hope you all don't mind I'm getting my running fix by reading your posts. I'm still down for the count. This is turning out to be my worst bug in many many years. Chicken soup, rest, hot baths, and every over the counter meds I can get my hands on… aint phasing it. Now I'm positive I ramped it up to quick after my last marathon. I haven't ran since last Friday
Thanks for the Anniversary wishes and Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm looking forward to the race reports Drock, Terry, Runnaway, and Mac!
Honky, sounds like something nasty. You might want to get checked out for flu or pneumonia, if your symptoms persist. I think I mentioned before that I've been taking beta glucans and they've really helped me (I like this product: http://www.swansonvitamins.com...ngth-250-mg-60-vcaps). I'd picked up everything under the sun the last couple years either from my kids or the students at my school and it's really worked for me.
Me--Planning on an easy 6-miler this afternoon before my 10 mile race tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great Turkey Day (or post-Turkey Day for our Canadian friends) tomorrow. And best of luck to everyone racing!

My Blog: runningoncrosswalks.com
How long after the marathon can or should you be able to a race? I was thinking of doing the Plymouth local 5 mile turkey trot , I would more like run it for fun not race because I think I'm def. still recovering. Thanks y'all
I may do a 5 mile turkey trot tomorrow. I haven't run a step since the marathon, so maybe I'll just run on my own.
HG, I thought I caught just a typical bug last year exactly around this time and as it turns out, I had pneumonia. Thanksgiving day last year was the first day that I ate food not named broth or crackers in 4 days. Hope you feel better soon!
Not sure if I'll be able to log back in until Sunday, so Mac, Laurel, Drock, CARunninggirl, and Zanrok, have awesome races, I'm looking forward to some RRs Sunday/Monday!
Everyone else - happy Thanksgiving and/or enjoy your weekend !
RF1 - I would do the 5 miler if u think u can keep it easy. I did 4 miles last night at an up tempo - I feel very strong right now, trying not to overdo it.
Dreamn - same thing. Go have some fun!
HG - still feeling for you. Get better soon.
can't wait for the race reports. happy thanksgiving to my US friends!
Thanks Runnermom GMP and Dreamn. I actually take the Now brand multis and Clucosimene. I just might have to try the Beta glucans… I hadn't even heard of them. This is actually typical for me… I don't catch a bug very often, but when I do, it usually hammers me pretty good. If I'm still not getting better by Friday, I'll probably think about seeing my doctor (even though I HATE doctors). I just got home from my gig tonight, and I'm trashed. I just smiled, but could't say anything. My voice is long gone. Headed for bed… Good lord I hope it's not phenomena.
Zanrok, Good luck at your 10K!
RF1, Good luck at your 5 miler!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Good luck to all the racers and HG, get well!
Happy Thanksgiving, and good luck with the Turkey Trots tomorrow!
me - Ran my 11.75km(7.3mi) rehearsal run, ran 3kms(2 mi) at around marathon pace, 5:30/km(8:50/mi). A little slower on the hills, I ran a hilly route, just to try and keep the effort sort of the same. Wore shorts, a long sleeve shirt, and a toque. I was a little too warm, 9c (48f) tonight, and no rain. I think the rain will make the difference though in what I wear, I think I need gloves. Shorts should be okay, as long as it stays this warm. Tried the KT tape, don't know if I'll use it on race day, seems like it could cause blisters, if you don't get it on perfectly. Achilles hurts a little still, probably from that last interval session last week.
Gooble Gooble Turkey Trot 5 miler in the books 43:21 8:50P both knees a lil funky so didnt go all out but had fun running with 881 local runners now its bird and app. times wooohooo
Run on
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
ARE YOU SERIOUS MAC!!! … you nipped me by 3 seconds! I want a do-over! Great job, especially in the cold!
Nice run RF1, take care of them knees! I've heard turkey, dressing, and pumpkin pie is good for knees...
Drock- repeat after me: Relax…you are getting sleepier… relax….relaxxxxx…...
Me, still sick boy, but today is the first day I actually feel like I'm going in the right direction. I got on the scale this morning thinking I would be a fat-boy after not running for a week… and I'm 4 pounds underweight! Yikes. My appetite is returning, and I have plans to fix this situation later this afternoon… Still no plans to work-out at all until next week.
Mac--Great race! That's a terrific time, especially in those conditions! 14th place ain't shabby at all!
Honky--I first read about beta glucans last winter in RW magazine, of all places. I was skeptical at first but was tired of being sick every winter and I have to say they work wonders for me. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to recover before going back out for those long runs and bike rides!
Me--A big 2nd life PR in my 10 miler this morning: 1:15:18 ! It felt tough during the later hilly miles of the race and I had to push myself through until we hit the flats around mile 8. Then for some reason I got a rush of adrenaline and sped it up a bit. Mile 9 was a gradual uphill to the finish, and I managed to come in strong.
Strangely, I saw no women around me at all from mile 6 until about the 9 1/2 mile mark, then another woman came from behind and tried to pass me. She was struggling though, so we exchanged a couple of words of encouragement before I booked it in. Afterwards we chatted and I found out she's been vacationing from Canada--she and her DH are driving back today (from where I live in AZ!).
Unfortunately there was a problem with the official results and awards for the 10-miler so I don't know how I placed .
Well, time for chowing down! Have a great Turkey Day all!!!!!!!!!
Looks like we had some pretty good runs out there today. Runnermom, RF1, and Mac - great races, all! Those were some good times, including a PR (congrats, Runnermom)! Mac, sounds like the cold weather helped you - good race! RF1, I know some turkey will help your knees.
I ran 10.8 miles to pre-burn some calories that I plan to consume later. I set up my Ludwig drums (the good stuff) for a Thanksgiving jam later, that has become something of a tradition in recent years. Some guys from my old bands are coming over for dinner and then we will entertain the neighbors. HG, you playing at all today? Have a great day, everyone!
42:07 Unofficial watch time for a new 10k PR this morning at the Turkey Trot! =)
Mile 1: 6:57
Mile 2: 6:45
Mile 3: 6:46
Mile 4: 6:59
MIle 5: 6:49
Mile 6: 6:46
Last .17 1:04 (6:18 pace)
It was pretty cold this morning, not sure of the exact time, but my buddy who was also running it came back with ice on his sweatshirt and beard. lol
Good runs everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!
WOW! Great PR's Runnermom and Zanrok! Great times! Dang you guys are fast! Runnermom, Beta glucans is definitely on my shopping list! Thanks!
Have a great jam Brent! I wish I was there! No playing for me today, other than personal practice. Tomorrow is Christmas season rehearsal, and then Saturday starts the Christmas party season. We've got 17 Christmas parties booked so far, it's always our busiest time of the year.
RF1 - smart run. Nice speed.
RM98, Zanrok, Mac - only in my dreams could I be that fast. Nice runs.
I'm gonna check out beta glucans too. Can't make me any slower
RF1, runnermom, Zanrok and Mac nice job on the turkey trots. The temps sound really cold...
SRD for me, probably run an 8km (5mi) recovery run tomorrow, and maybe a 6km (4mi) shakeout on Saturday. I don't know about running downtown Seattle though, so might just skip it and rest up.Muscles are all feeling stiff, must be part of the taper, at least I'm hoping...
Drock - u will be great! Go for it!
Zanrok--Outstanding splits for your 10K! Congrats on the PR!
gmp and Honky--I tried a different beta glucan product that was on sale a couple months ago, after my marathon, and it wasn't as effective for me, so I most recommend the Xtra Strength Beta-Glucans 250 mg with ImmunEnhancer. The best price I've found is on Swanson's Vitamins online (they had them at GNC but for about twice the online cost).
We have a "Supplement Giant" store in our city, that carries the NOW brand, and I'm pretty sure they'll have it. They also do price match. It's where I get my glucosamine and chondroitin, and they blow GNC out of the water for prices. They also have a "1/2 price shelf" where they put items that are within a month of their sell-by date. When you can find a 7 pound bucket of whey protein in the 1/2 price shelf, that saves a ton of money!
Me- Yay!!! I woke up today feeling great! Fever gone, sore throat gone, finally! It's amazing how much I can appreciate feeling good, after a week of feeling bad! It was exactly one week ago today that I ran last, and then the sky fell. I'm still taking no chances, and plan to take it easy this weekend, and ease back into things next week.
Drock- Chill out on Saturday! Enjoy the expo, no need to push it. You're going to own the race!
Hey everyone! Been trying to catch up on everyone's posts as it's been a crazy week at work with the holiday this week.
Honky - Sorry to hear about the DNS but as others have also said, that was absolutely the right move. Glad you are feeling a lot better!
Mac and Zanrok - awesome times for your Turkey Trots!
Thank you everyone as well for all your comments on my marathon! It is very much appreciated, and I feel more part of the group now that I've completed one!
Me - So I didn't run at all for the first week after my race and played it safe. I only felt sore for about the first 3-4 days, and then soon after felt 100%. This past Monday I just did a quick 2 miles on the TM and then Wednesday I did 4 miles. Tonight I planned on doing another 4-5 miles on the TM but by 2.5 my legs felt pretty tight for some reason, so I just stopped at 3. Basically just testing the waters this week and not trying to push too much yet. I don't have any races coming up until March, so I'm in no rush. Will look to get in a couple more easy runs over the weekend and finish the week around 15-16 miles. I signed up for the Love Run in Philly in late March, so I will be starting a HM plan in the beginning of January.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Current PR's: 5k - 19:56 (6/21/14); HM - 1:40:33 (3/30/14); FM - 4:08:17 (11/23/14)
Hope it went well Laurel.
Drock and CARunningGirl - good luck to my Canuck friends! Hope the weather is ok and you guys nail it!
Looking forward to the reports.

Uskaarj 2k4 battle report
Well I just finished playing a of uskaarj using the new build and uskaarj is now stable and does not crash my system :P YAY. Also the units auto attack now so base turrets really work like they should and now kick ass. Also units auto attack now works so they can now handle a fight with out getting totally killed when you are not looking.
I managed to keep the upper right hand corner of the map until swag slipped in some wasps and took out my HQ ending the game :P score one for Swag. During play we did not run into any major game play bugs in this build. But one thing I did notice and would be handy is gunfire effect on the mini gun turrets. Since you cannot see they are attack unless you look close at the barrels and see they are spinning. But other then that the turrets now work like a dream for ground and air units.
When life gives you a grenade throw it right back. Former Leader of Uskaarj Uskaarj RTS Mod Fan of netstorm |

Sorry if any threads have already been done on this. This post is for all the noe Yi players. I've been playing Yi since closed beta, i'm at 109/91 win/lose ratio, i probably didn't play Yi les then 10 times in that ratio and the last game i played, i got this guy, LuyiaK telling me that Yi is too OP and that he has no counters, and that i should stop playing him since he ruins LoL. I was told that i wasn't playing him as best as i should of so that doesn't make me a pro, which i don't think i am, but i'm good, in my opinion. In that said game i had a score of 9/5/11, i had a singe with a 15 kil ratio and a Warwick with an 11 kill ratio, the only thing that might of made us win is the fact that when we had a 4v5 team fight, i was told to bd they're mid inhib, which i did, and we won shortly after. So i ask, is Yi so OP and uncountarable that he shouldn't be ever played, unless you're noob? And might i had, how is he not countarable? Imo stuns own Yi.
Anyone who says that ANY player is uncounterable (especially Yi) is not thinking logically and just spouting off out of frustration. Want evidence? You have 91 losses, which means he was countered 91 times :-P
I was told that my losses were probably due to some "bad teamates"... Should this be the only reason to play Yi?
yi is weak. in high elo, yi is rarely ever played. reason 1. no aoe reason 2. squishy reason 3. no cc he is good in 1v1, but he dies if there's any stun or fear. in higher elo games, people like stuns so yi = useless.
Those were the exact thoughts i had about Yi in high ELO, Bait. Still i think that well played he can do good in high ELO.

I`m not on high Elo... not even close - i`m level 11 summoner ;P. Yi is easily focus targeted and nuked from my experience. I had more problems with Shaco, for example (i hate twin-copy!). His weakness (much like Eve`s) is his squishiness.

Yi is fine and is easily counterable. The hard part is just coordinating with your team to disable yi and there are more than enough champions capable of doing that. He is a very squishy hero when stunned or feared and will drop like a rock with mass aoe. Yi can be deadly when he is a vulture.
Just needed to make sure Yi wasn't really ruinning the game cz that LuyiaK was telling me that Yi ruined LoL high ELO.
Cleanse and frozen mallet help immensely if you have survivability issues. This thread is full of fail. Yi is no more OP than other carries (twitch). And he's not useless in high elo. He's a fairly straightforward carry, just requires better timing and itemization in higher elo wheras pretty much the same item build and balls to the wall strat can rape low elo solo ques.
What you added is true Hyfe, those spells/items help for survivability, but i was being told that Rammus/Malph/Mundo/Singe or any other tank couldn't whitstand his dps, and he even added that Mundo was 3 shotable with his build, which i highly doubt.

The show is awesome .. but the audio level issue is making it really hard for me to listen.
I need to keep changing the volume on my ipod, and it gets annoying after a while.
I really love the show and will NOT stop listening because of this, but I would really appreciate if you guys could do something about it. ;)
Thanks for making a great show.

Gundam Statue Being Erected in Tokyo: Why Can'T Stuff Like This Happen Where I Live?
A 1:1 scale Gundam statue is being built in Tokyo as part of the Japanese government's quest to acquire a monopoly of geeks to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the world famous anime series. The Mainichi Daily News has pictures from the construction site in Shiokaze Park.
The statue is a life-size model of the RX-78-2 Gundam that appeared in the very first Gundam series, a model from which most successive Gundam designs get their iconic samurai-style appearance.
The Gundam statue is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic over a steel frame. It will be 59 feet tall and weigh 35 tons when finished, and will "emit light or mist from 50 points of its body."
The statue will also be able to move its head, so that it can shake it in disbelief at the undoubtedly millions of otakus, fans, and devotees that will come bearing offerings, hugging it and crying at its feet, some claiming to be its long-lost children.
I hope to be one of those drooling man-children. I absolutely really truly must go and see this Gundam. Really.
The statue will be displayed in public from July 11 to August 31, free of charge. Mark your calendars, fellow mecha freaks.

I don't even watch gundam but this would be really cool to see
Please do a follow up when it is completed so we can see :D
Wait… It's only going to up for how long?
And how much will this cost? >.>
Seems kind of pointless.
Don't get me wrong, I'm as hardcore as any Gundam fan, but that's hardly enough time for me to spend my life savings just to get a trip to japan and hug and cry at it's feet.

text: You really just have to do the math, sometimes discounted room prices are a better deal than the dining plan. I did free dining in August 08, and it worked out really well, and the crowd levels were great, the crowd calender over at touringplans.com was very accurate, I used it to determine the dates I chose, which was the week of Labor Day. One word of advice though, even the the crowds are great, it is still very hot this time of year, I had to grab a shower mid-day most days I sweat so much.

MasterChef: Episode 3 (Here be spoilers.)
April 3, 2012 in Cooking with Woolies, Uncategorized, Woolies Pantry
Braai night on Masterchef SA and such a beautiful setting!
At first, this felt like a guy-slanted challenge and we really did feel for the women contestants (especially 'I've NEVER braaied before' Natalie), but that was before Thys admitted to being much more partial to a parfait that an open flame.
Instantly, Thys became a firm favourite on our side of the screen!
As did his pudding pal Khaya and her 100 m icing sugar dash in the closing seconds of the challenge. (Did anyone notice if she actually got any sugar on the pud? We forgot to check!) So glad they both got through to the next round.
But how pap were those plates of pap, boys? Sies.
Our biggest surprise of the night? Callie-Anne getting sent home off the back of a pedestrian springbok fillet. We understood Bruce's 'pleasant rump' being too simple for MasterChef fare, but that springbok certainly looked delicious. Clearly didn't taste it though.
And we're also really going to miss Bongumusa and his deliciously gravelly voice. A whole other type of num, don't you think?
All in all, we're really enjoying MasterChef SA so far, and you? The judges are warming into their roles, the styling and sets look world-class and next week, with bootcamp… we get into THE PANTRY.
But while you wait for next week, check out our shop-ready braai recipes: a classic deboned leg of lamb, decadent vegetarian braai wraps (with blue cheese AND mascarpone!), spatch-cocked chicken and finger-licking lamb ribbetjies. And if you've never shopped online at Woolies before, delivery is free.
We've also got a great special on thick-cut steak running in store, so you may want to look more closely at this pan-fried steak with home-made mayo.

NCB hits $10b profit mark
Published: Sunday | November 8, 2009
NCB's Atrium headquarters in New Kingston.
National Commercial Bank of Jamaica (NCB) became the first home-based listed company to report profit above $10 billion, announcing the big number Friday, even as some of its customers struggle to service their loans in the ongoing recession.
The bank reported loan losses of $1 billion for its financial year ending September 30, 2009, more than double last year's losses of $468 million, saying borrowers were challenged by the economy and that steps were being taken to help them cope with their liabilities.
But even with the write-off, NCB still made a billion dollars more in the July to September fourth quarter - $2.9 billion compared to $1.94 billion in the 2008 period.
net profit
The number that really stands out, however, is the bank's net profit for the year - $10.248 billion - off revenues of $35.46 billion, reflecting a $1.5 billion or 18 per cent growth at the bottom line.
On Friday, the bank's boss, group managing director Patrick Hylton, said he could have made even more money, but opted to play it safe.
"We in a real sense could have made more money, but we deliberately decided that in this environment, we must maintain high levels of liquidity because there was a great deal of uncertainty as to development and how it would take place," Hylton said at a briefing of investors held at the bank's corporate headquarters, The Atrium, in New Kingston.
"So in that sense, we have had some trade-off with liquidity on one hand, and earnings on the other hand. We just thought it was the prudent thing to do."
The bank will share $2.19 billion of earnings with shareholders, having declared dividend of 89 cents per share payable December 3. Roughly two-thirds of the payout will go to majority owner Michael Lee Chin's companies.
NCB was able to grow profit by growing revenue. Interest from loans brought in an extra $2.6 billion, to reach $13 billion of income at year end, and the bank's investment portfolio proved even more lucrative, with income from interest on securities growing by more than $3 billion to $22 billion.
But Hylton was also able to maximise income by keeping a stranglehold on expenses.
scored a victory
The group managing director scored a victory by spending $106 million less, reporting expenses of $13.97 billion compared to last year's $14.08 billion.
Operating profit also grew by $2.5 billion to $13.2 billion. Wealth management subsidiary NCB Capital Markets Limited contributed $2.5 billion to that result, and the insurance segment $1.8 billion.
Treasury remained the most lucrative function, contributing $3.8 billion to operating profit, but underperforming relative to its $4.3 billion contribution in 2008, while retail banking profits were flat at $3.4 billion.
Other metrics to measure progress and profitability were positive for the Michael Lee Chin-owned bank.
Hylton cut NCB's cost-to-income ratio from 50.1 per cent to 47.7 per cent; grew earnings per share 18 per cent, to $4.16; added 10 per cent to operating revenue, grew loans seven per cent, to $88 billion, and deposits three per cent to $130 billion.
non-performing loans
But non-performing loans also climbed in the period to $2.3 billion and was 2.61 per cent of the loan portfolio, compared to 2.34 per cent a year ago.
NCB also ended the year as a bigger bank, with assets of $315 billion, up from $291 billion, and an improved net worth of $41 billion, reflecting a 30 per cent growth in its capital base.
Its loan portfolio also rose from $82 billion to $88 billion, but the commercial bank's balance sheet is still more timidly skewed to investment securities, a portfolio that still doubles loan at $167 billion. The investment portfolio also grew by $13 billion, which was more than twice the $6 billion growth in loans.
In the year ahead, the focus, said Hylton, will be "on ensuring that the institution is strong, robust and that it is able to perform in a very difficult environment".
