I need to buy a lawn tractor. I mow about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 acres. Half one day and the other half the next day or two later. What brand or tractor should I buy? Is there any difference in tractors at Home Depot or Lowes vs the tractor store. Thanks for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mownie allus loves this: time to trot the tried and proven..... Repost of Slammer's Buying Guide... 1. Carefully evaluate the size mower you need and buy at least one size larger, given gate and storage door considerations. Work with reputable Dealers who can provide product choice assistance, product predelivery prep and aftersale service at competitve prices. 2. NEVER buy a mower from ANYPLACE that will not let you test drive same or at least a similar model. Ergonomics are just as important as performance and capability. 3. DO NOT base your purchase on price or brand name alone! Do proper research and find all of the available models that fit your criteria and haggle, save, or trade to get the right equipment for the job. Do not compromise! Dealer support after the sale is also important. 4. Understand your property and it's impact on your choice of equipment. Mowing slopes, obstacles, future landscape projects, winter use, attachments, etc. can all have a significant effect. If you follow these three tips you will end up a happy camper with just the right unit for the job. If you disregard this advice you may end up with one or the other of the following problems: A. Buyers remorse. Stuck with a piece of junk or simply a unit inadequate for the task at hand. Or.. B. A teed off spouse when you start shopping for another tractor just 3 - 6 months down the road because you didn't buy the right unit in the first place. Enjoy the experience! |

I think you have me confused with somebody else. I never had a problem with the Slammer Edict, or whatever else people want to call it..........even though some have said Slammer did not copyright it (rumored he only copy write it). Whatever, whoever, however it got here...................sage advice! I just wish they had expanded/expounded more on the part about teed off spouse. Sure could use some additional info on how to avoid that one. |

"I just wish they had expanded/expounded more on the part about teed off spouse. Sure could use some additional info on how to avoid that one" Simple, just say may I and take two giant steps back before writing the check. |
If i was going to buy a new lawn tractor, i'd buy a Craftsman from Sears. Parts are available, and they are easy to fix. I've had here to fix, several Troy-bilts', almost new, damaged by hard usage, which those models aren't designed for. Those machines didn't have transmissions as we know them. They had the two drive belt system, with the variable rate sliding pulley sort of transmission. Designed for mowing grass, and pulling a really light garden cart. (Not one loaded with concrete blocks, red bricks, or a load of stone or gravel.) One lasted 3 weeks, dragging a sled loaded with rocks, to drag the base paths at the local boro Park, and the other one coughed up its guts, from lack of maintenance. (Oh, it ain't my job to check the oil! I was hired to drive it! If they are so concerned about the oil, let them check it!) Sound familiar? I have owned a bunch of Craftsman lawn tractors, and the all held up good, with regular maintenance. But, if you want to impress yer friends and neighbors, then go buy a more expensive make. At least, it'll mow grass as well as the cheaper models, like Craftsman. |

In a traditional tractor I'd find the closest Deere or Simplicity dealer and buy one from there. I'm partial to Simplicity's because they are durable and I like the striping. With the Deere you'll likely get a Kawasaki engine and with a Simplicity, a B&S Pro Series. I am NOT a Kohler fan......any model. Heavier, more durable deck (and frame) on both....look especially at a fabricated deck if your lawn is bumpy. Hydro tranny - unless you get a mower with a external filter and drain, you're stuck with a sealed unit hydro. This IMO is the biggest reason NOT to buy a Deere or Simplicity. You're paying a significant premium for a better engine, frame and deck. But if a Craftsman/Cub/Husq has the same'ish tranny as a Deere or Simplicity, is it really worth spending 2X more for the Deere/Simp? If you're only mowing 1.25 acres of flat terrain, the ground is smooth, you won't pull carts or aerators (etc) and it's not going to be used in winter as a snowblower a Craft/Cub/Husq might do you just fine. If you're like me and pull carts, aereate, dethatch etc. look for a brand/model with a heavier duty hydro....for me it will be a new Simplicity Conquest to replace my 17 year old Simplicity Broadmoor.....only because I now have 2.5 acres to mow and don't care if I impress the neighbors or not. ;) |
And if you don't mind a manual trans. with clutch, don 't blow off the Craftsman GT with the 6-speed manual transmission. You'll not have to worry about overheating a hydro trans or internal slippage and all the other problems you read about on here with hydros. It's a long proven unit and will take the abuse of heavy pulling, climbing steep hills, and operating ground engaging accessories....... (see link below) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Craftsman Garden Tractor w/ Manual Trans

Most of the posts regarding hydro trans problems here and all around the net are from people who bought riding mowers and lawn tractors and used then like garden tractors. Garden tractors with both manual trans and hydros are equally well suited for exactly what they were designed and equipped to do. |
Never-the-less, you're paying a $200 premium for a hydrostatic trans in the Craftsman GT series (maybe more in others) and if you're OK with a manual trans, it's still a win-win situation due to simplicity, reliability, and replacement costs. |

".......Garden tractors with both manual trans and hydros are equally well suited for exactly what they were designed and equipped to do." justalurker - I respectfully disagree with your statement above regarding hydro trannys. About 2 months ago I spoke at length with a tech from Tuff Torque. What I gleaned from our conversation is that there's really not that much difference between a K40/50 series (used on a brands lower end units) and a K60'ish series tranny. The 60 series are built stronger yes, but are still sealed units. Don't hold me to this but you had to get into the K70 Series (i.e. Simplicity Prestige) trannys to be able to change the oil and external filter. I admit to being in the state of "analysis paralysis" when choosing my next tractor. What I can't answer is my own question of: "just how long should a tractor last?" My current 17 yr old Broadmoor is in great shape with the exception of the HydroGear tranny. It's just not worth putting $800 into a 17 yr old tractor though. Just my .02 |
- Posted by justalurker 10 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 11:29
As I see the matket the TT K7x trans is the entry level GT trans currently offered in the JD X5xx and Simplicity series garden tractors. Currently enjoying a K72 I can say a K4x, K5x, and K6x are far below the K7x series capabilities. My K72 aloows for fluid changes but has an internal filter that is not routinely serviced and I'm not worried in the least.. Some K72 versions do have a serviceable filter. I feel for you on your 17 year old Broadmoor. I bought a Sears GT a ways back that had a Hydrogear 3000 and immediately disliked that transaxle so I returned the Sears. You got your money's worth out of your Broadmoor and you're not the only one that has an older something that today's repair costs will exceed what they feel is reasonable so you're joining a big club. If you want or need a garden tractor then get one that is equipped as you like it. Like everything else today, better costs more, and it costs more than it used to cost 17 years ago. If the GT you buy lasts you 17 years we can have this debate again then. |
- Posted by 1111GD1111 none (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 12:56
lurker - no debate desired on my part...just a good exchange of info! No question a K7X series is a step above a K4X/5X/6X tranny. The Conquest I'm looking at has a K66 in it...more durable than a K5X yes but it's still not a 7X (Simp Prestige) where you can change the fluid. Personally I think if one can change the fluid in the hydro every year or two the unit should/could last as long as the engine and frame under normal homeowner use. So I can buy 3 Cub/Husq tractors with a B&S engine for the price of 1 Prestige. I'm going nuts!! Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!! :) May I ask what tractor you have with the K72? |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 13:21
Always was impressed with the K66 until I used a GT with a K72. It is a night and day difference pulling weight or ground engaging. I thought I had seen a K66 with external filter so you might want to look under that Conquest. JD X500 and it's just like my Toyota 92 4xd pickup... it cost way too much and is worth every cent. And just like with my Toyota... not a big fan of the manufacturer or the local dealer but the product is well designed for its intended tasks, sensibly engineered, easy enough to work on, and parts will be available for a VERY long time if you need them. I favor products where the manufacturer puts their own name on it rather than the marketer putting the specs up for the lowest bid and then putting the marketer's name on the product.. |

A JD X500 comes with a K7X tranny??!! I will have to take a closer look! JD now has some attractive financing offers which I would need to take advantage of. They didn't have any 6 weeks ago. |
- Posted by justalurker 10 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 13:46
All the JD X5xx Select Series has a K72. The models that don't have hydraulic lift and power steering have drain plugs but have an internal filter that is not serviceable. The X5xx models that DO have hydraulic lift and power steering have a serviceable filter and drain plugs. The base model X500 does nicely for me. Steers so easy even with the 44" snow thrower installed that IMO power steering is unnecessary and the foot pedal lift for the mowing deck is easy enough. Trans drain plug is a GOTTA HAVE but no serviceable filter doesn't matter to me. If you're not in a hurry JD usually has a $500 off promotion on the X5xx series in the fall. |
- Posted by 1111GD1111 none (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 16:53
Thanks for the info! YES...being able to drain the fluid is key. Changeable filter is not so important. The tech at Tuff Torque said the K66 didn't have a drain plug but I will take a look when the time comes. |
I can recommend one brand not to buy, I have nothing but trouble with a Husqavarna. Barely two years old, always shedded, not abused. Broke down 2nd day, numerous parts have fell off and broken. Wished I had gotten the Deere. |
- Posted by twelvegauge 8 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 18, 13 at 10:42
Whip, sounds like you've had some really bad luck. I think you must have gotten a lemon. I'm curious as to which parts fell off your Husqvarna. I have two John Deeres, one MTD, and one Husqvarna in the lawn tractor category, plus an Economy in the CUT group; they range in age from 5 to 28 years. I don't recall EVER having a part fall off any of these machines. I have, of course, tightened a bolt here and there (primarily on gauge wheels) to keep things from falling off, but that's the result of proper maintenance activity. Sorry about your bad luck - my Husqvarna is now 5 years old, with 300 hours on it, and has been trouble-free. |
It would be helpful (and more accurate) to list at least some of the parts "that fell off". Every OEM ships machines using the "some assembly required" method. This facilitates handling and storage, and somewhat protects against damaged goods and pilfered parts at various stages in the journey from factory to consumer. But this means that the LAST link in this chain may not be a trained technician, nor even a conscientious "follower of instructions". This leaves open the possibility of some components not being installed using the correct fasteners or proper torque (what's that?). Also, the final assembly should include a "check" of certain factory installed fasteners, but that probably NEVER happens in a lot of cases...................depending on who is doing the assembly. I have seen outdoor power equipment being uncrated and assembled in "Big Box" stores by a team of outside vendors, who were just a bunch of high school kids under the "supervision" of an adult team leader (with questionable talent). My point is: If you come to this forum because you might be interested in DIY repairs to your stuff...........you gotta learn to watch out for things that hold it together. |
Mownie, You don't know what torque is? Then I'll fill ya in. It's what JAL likes to do to me as in "torque me off." :-) |
- Posted by justalurker 10 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 18, 13 at 15:19
Come on grass, you know you're not torqued too tight ;-) |

Did the OP decide on anything? |
A consideration for a woman purchasing a mower. After many attempts to keep my John Deere lawn tractor running while I mowed my 1.5 acre yard, I simply put a cinderblock and a few bricks on my tractor seat and the mower seemed to work fine. However, this was very inconvenient, not to mention unsafe. I took my tractor in to my local JD dealer and explained that my mower would not continually run without additional weight on the seat. They could not find a problem with my mower nor offered me a solution. Then one Friday night, I became so frustrated with my new JD, I fired off an email message to JD.com and received the following response back from Laurie M., John Deere Customer Contact Center: "We apologize that you have been having concerns with the operations of your unit. The seat safety switch is tested with the standard of a 150 lb. operator. As you stated that you are only 100 lbs., you may find that the switch can be inadvertently tripped. We suggest that you verify the seat is pulled forward to the closest comfortable position in which you are completely in the seat with your back against the back of the seat. Now, I had another case in which the customer had advised for his wife, who was under 100 lbs, he had made a seat cover that had a pocket that hung over the back of the seat in which he added a cement block so the tractor would operate and he would not have to do the mowing. An alternative to this would require the unit be taken to the dealer and they can move and/or adjust the seat so that it would be adaptable to your lighter weight. This may make the seat less comfortable for a heavier operator. As this would be an after-market modification, there may be a charge to you for this service." |

Sounds to me like a good excuse to eat bacon and ice cream. |
.. or how about a ratchet securement strap over the seat cushion, and then a piece of thin foam on top of that for comfort. This is assuming you can route the strap below the sensor. |
- Posted by snorkel12068 none (My Page) on Wed, Sep 11, 13 at 13:55
Why not simply replace the sensor with one that has a lighter load range? Or why not simply disable it? sitting on cement blocks to get more weight is hardly any safer than just by passing the weight sensor. |

September 30, 2010
Jefferson City, Mo. - Attorney General Chris Koster said today that Circuit Judge William Syler has sentenced Jeffery Overbeck to two years in prison following a guilty plea on a felony workers' compensation noncompliance charge. He was sentenced as a prior offender.
Koster said Overbeck operated Overbeck Construction in Cape Girardeau. Because he employed one or more workers, he was required by law to carry workers' compensation insurance. Overbeck failed to carry the insurance from April 2006 to August 2008. Koster said in addition, Overbeck previously had pled guilty to a misdemeanor count of noncompliance in September 2001.
"We've made great inroads in collections and convictions for workers' compensation fraud and for noncompliance with mandatory workers' compensation insurance coverage over the past 21 months," Koster said. "Businesses that fail to comply with the law in providing this insurance coverage are putting their workers at risk, and this office will aggressively take legal action to see that protection is provided."

More viewers for USA-Portugal match than World Series, NBA Finals deciders
It's not the nation's most popular sport (yet), but soccer has made its way past our national pastime in the ratings. The U.S. Men's National Team landed more viewers in its second game of the World Cup—a 2-2 draw against Portugal that kept the U.S. in contention—than the the final championship games or matches of every other pro sport except football.
According to an analysis at The Wrap, USA-Portugal played to 18.2 million live plus same day total viewers on ESPN, topping the World Series Game 6, which landed 18 million flat. Game 5 of the NBA Finals (the last game) took in 18 million as well, with Game 5 of the Stanley Cup, pulling in 6 million.
Team USA's match against Belgium on Tuesday was predicted to top the Portugal game's ratings, but it finished second in viewership. The U.S. team lost 2-1 in overtime and was eliminated.

The director of 'Bend It Like Beckham' wants Brazil to win the World Cup
Monday, June 30, at 10:30 a.m. PST was probably not the best time to call Gurinder Chadha. As a reporter interested in her thoughts on this year's World Cup, I really should have known better: The France v. Nigeria game was wrapping up with about 20 minutes to go.
Chadha, who is based in London, is the director, writer, and producer of 2002's Bend It Like Beckham, which tells the story of an 18-year-old girl who rebels against her Sikh parents' traditionalism to pursue a career in soccer. Chadha's ultimate goal—get it?—was to draw attention to the lack of a female and Asian presence in the sport. For many young girls, Bend It Like Beckham served as a vehicle into soccer, especially in the U.S. where the sport is not as popular as it is worldwide (though, if you'd seen only this year's World Cup fanaticism, you'd never guess).
Though Chadha is not a footballer herself, her World Cup experience thus far has been passionate, emotional, exciting, and all-consuming. Bouts of relief ("Oh god, that was close") and disappointment ("Nigeria? Oh, shit. Oh, bugger") made quick interjections into our conversation as she multi-tasked, simultaneously watching the game while we spoke.
"My husband is obsessed with the World Cup," Chadha said. "The consumption of beer in our house has gone up twenty-fold. Beer, chips, and football. I've gotten into it as well."
Her top choice going into World Cup was, unsurprisingly, England. Unfortunately, her team was knocked off early on, and did not make it to the top 16. Now, Chadha is supporting Brazil. "I think it will be great if Brazil wins in Brazil," Chadha said.
There's also a backup plan. If not Brazil, Chadha would like to see another Latin country win as this year's tournament is taking place in South America. And if not a Latin team, she'd like to see an African team win. "I kind of go for the underdogs," Chadha said. But, that said, she's not too thrilled about France and Germany advancing to the top eight.
Often, though, Chadha simply chooses her team game by game. In Sunday's Netherlands v. Mexico game, for instance, she was rooting for Mexico. "I love to get caught up in the drama of it all," Chadha said, and drama certainly ensued, both in the match and in the Mexican restaurant in London from where she watched. A close game up until the end, Mexico ultimately lost to the Netherlands 2-1 in the final minutes.
"That's the thing with the World Cup," Chadha explains. "You have to watch it with people who are also passionate about it and are passionate about a particular side. They get their hopes up and get emotional and the national spirit comes into play. It really is a truly emotional event."
With such an emotional investment in the games, Chadha has certainly had a few favorite, and not-so-favorite, moments. High point: Brazil winning in penalties against Chile. Low point: Uruguay's Luis Suárez biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini, resulting in a four-month, nine-game ban and more than $100,000 in fines.
Chadha also has a few favorite players, as well: With no Beckham to worship, Chadha has looked to Mexico's goalkeeper, Guillermo Ochoa, and Colombia's James Rodríguez as her World Cup idols. And though Chadha is not participating in any pools this year, she predicts that Germany will make it to the finals in some way. Her husband could be heard yelling from afar that he hopes Brazil and Argentina will meet in the finals, to which Chadha agrees.
For Chadha, the football fever doesn't stop at World Cup: She's currently working on a Bend It Like Beckham musical. Chadha is directing and Sonia Friedman (The Book of Mormon) is producing. Music is by Howard Goodall (The Hired Man) with lyrics by Charles Hart (The Phantom of the Opera). The project is two years in the making and can be expected to appear on London's West End sometime next year. She's hopeful that it will make it to Broadway as well.
"It's one of the best things I've ever done," Chadha says of the musical. "Obviously I think the movie is great—a lot of people love the movie—but I think the stage show is even better. What we've been able to do is go back and really go deeper with the story and with the emotions. It's a fantastic, kind of rousing answer to girl power."
Chadha is also hoping to start a foundation for girls to play football in India, though that has been tied up due to legal issues.
As our conversation came to a close, Chadha suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! That's it, two nil to France, damn. What a shame."
Despite her disappointment, Chadha has high hopes for the U.S. in their matchup against Belgium (July 1 at 4 p.m. EST). Though she did not predict who would win the game, she believes the U.S. could go far—perhaps not to the final, she said, but the U.S. has been playing well.
She added, though, that Mexico was playing well. It's really up in the air. The conclusion: "I think it could be anyone's game."
Find out when the final airs live on July 13 at 1 p.m. PST on ABC.
Waffle House calls for a boycott of Belgian waffles to support U.S. soccer
In support of the U.S. Men's National Team's upcoming match against Belgium on Tuesday, the Waffle House restaurant chain has called for national support against the rival nation's breakfast of choice: TMZ originally reported that Waffle house called for a boycott, and now the chain has begun to rally support on Twitter.
"We're America's place to eat, so of course we're supporting Team USA," a representative for the chain told EW.
Of course, Waffle House doesn't feature Belgian waffles on its regular menu, serving up sweet-cream waffles instead. The American variety has a smaller grid pattern (due to a differently shaped waffle iron) and a creamier flavor, according to their rep.
Team USA faces off against Belgium at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, giving you plenty of time to prep your very American, small-grid breakfast in the afternoon. And while no one's come out and said it yet, some argue that French fries were invented in Belgium. So maybe it's time for the freedom fry to return, too.
Will Ferrell volunteers to 'bite every German player' on behalf of the U.S. World Cup team
When the U.S. men's soccer team squares off against Germany today in the World Cup, Will Ferrell will not be in uniform. Actually, to be more accurate, he might be in uniform, but he will not be playing for Team USA.
To that, you may say, "What in the name of Jozy Altidore's shredded hamstring are you talking about, you bandwagon-jumping doofus?"
Last night in Recife, Brazil, the site of today's match, Ferrell was introduced as a late-addition player for the U.S. side. "I'm so honored to be playing tomorrow," he told an enthusiastic crowd. "I'm not going to lie to you, I'm not in the best shape. … [But] if the game gets close, I will bite the opponent. I will bite every German player if I have to."

World Cup: Answers to soccer questions you're too embarrassed to ask (and too lazy to Google)
Do you think you're enjoying the World Cup — but can't really tell because you have no idea what's going on? Here, EW.com assistant managing editor Neil Janowitz, formerly an editor with Sports Illustrated and ESPN the Magazine, answers burning questions about soccer — a.k.a. "football," a.k.a.

John Oliver compares FIFA to Walter White, talks US World Cup chances on 'Late Night' -- VIDEO
Comedian John Oliver is pretty psyched about the start of the 2014 World Cup today — not that he needs an excuse to talk about soccer.
The British host of Last Week Tonight stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers Wednesday to chat about their late-night gigs and controversial segments, which led to Oliver's impassioned rhapsody on football. The backstory: On Sunday, the former Daily Show correspondent delivered a poignant rant about the corruption of FIFA — the organization behind the World Cup — via his HBO show. When Meyers brought it up, Oliver compared the group to the antihero of Breaking Bad: "FIFA is awful, but the product they push is amazing. They're Walter White," he says. "If you get hooked on their magnificent blue meth of a sport, then you want nothing else."
Oliver went on to admit that most education in Britain comes from reading headlines about the nation's various soccer players. When David Beckham broke his foot, for example, all of England subsequently learned what a second metatarsal is.
As for the chances of the English and American squads at the World Cup, Oliver offered bleak predictions. "I would prepare yourselves for winning zero out of three games," he advised U.S. fans. His wry observation on the German coach of the American team cutting the nation's most well-known player, Landon Donovan, won't soften the blow. Take a look at the full clip below: READ FULL STORY
Nike ad puts World Cup superstars in a Pixar-like 'toon -- VIDEO
On June 12, host-country Brazil meets Croatia in the first match of the FIFA World Cup, ushering in a month of sports insanity that will likely even penetrate the American sports consciousness — no matter how much we want to snub the sport of soccer. (Er, football.) You know how the NFL likes to boast that its Super Bowl is viewed by more than a billion people? Well, that's a complete myth. But the World Cup final on July 13 will be the most watched television program of the year around the globe. Four years ago, the championship match between Spain and Netherlands in South Africa was viewed on TV by an estimated 700 million people. There's a reason it's called The World's Game.
So get ready to learn all about Ronaldo, Messi, and Neymar Jr, LeBron-level superstars in the planet's most popular sport. Nike, which generates nearly $2 billion each year in soccer-related revenue, recently unveiled a glorified commercial for their "Risk Everything" campaign, featuring animated versions of their most popular players. It was conceived and produced by Nike and their advertising agencies, but it feels like a Pixar short, with a nefarious villain who wants to clone some of the world's best players and "improve" them by stripping them of their penchant for beautiful risk-taking.
It's a perfect — and presumably expensive — bauble in Nike's "Risk Everything" campaign, and not the worst introduction to World Cup madness. Even Tim Howard, who will likely start in goal for the Americans when they face Ghana on June 16, gets a spot on Nike's Incredibles-like team.

Can I whip this and use it instead of the frozen whipped topping? Or does the frozen already prepared stuff have something else in it? If I can use it, how do I get 8 oz from my carton? Just measure in a measuring cup before I whip or do I need to weigh it out?

PRE-OSCAR PRIZES Julia Roberts and Benicio Del Toro received top acting awards Sunday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Roberts solidified her Oscar lead with her ''Erin Brockovich'' win. ''Traffic'' star Del Toro, who is competing in the supporting category at the Academy Awards, beat Tom Hanks and Russell Crowe, among others, for the best acting trophy at the SAGs. Albert Finney and Judi Dench won for their supporting roles in ''Brockovich'' and ''Chocolat,'' respectively. And for best cast performance, Steven Soderbergh's ''Traffic'' walked away with a prize.
''The West Wing'' swept the TV drama awards: Martin Sheen and Allison Janney were named best actor and actress, and the political series also won best cast performance in a drama series. Robert Downey Jr. won best actor in a comedy series for his extended stint on ''Ally McBeal,'' while Sarah Jessica Parker won for her leading role on ''Sex and the City.'' But the best cast performance award went to neither show. The ''Will & Grace'' kids won that.
MORE AWARDS A day before double nominated director Steven Soderbergh's leading lady and ensemble cast won at the SAG Awards, the helmer himself wasn't so lucky -- he lost at the Directors Guild of America Awards. The DGA honored Academy front runner Ang Lee instead, for his Taiwanese language epic ''Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.'' According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lee was ''stunned'' at his victory over Soderbergh, Cameron Crowe (''Almost Famous'') and Ridley Scott (''Gladiator''). Only four times since the DGA Awards began in 1949 has the guild winner not won the Oscar for best directing. TV trophies went to dramatic series director Thomas Schlamme for ''The West Wing'' and James Burrows for the comedy ''Will & Grace.''
CHART ATTACK Janet Jackson has made radio and chart history. The singer's title track from her upcoming album ''All For You'' was added to the songlists of every pop, R&B, and urban radio station that reports to the music trade magazine ''Radio & Records.'' No other song has debuted on all reporting radio stations its first week on the airwaves. ''All For You'' also landed at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart -- the highest debut ever for a single that isn't available in record stores. Jackson's album is due out April 24.
NO MORE SONGS? Napster was given a list of 135,000 songs that must be blocked from the file swapping service by Wednesday. Amy Weiss, spokeswoman for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), said the detailed list was e-mailed to Napster Friday evening. According to a court injunction issued March 5, Napster must keep users from downloading specific songs within three days of receiving notification by the copyright holders. Napster already tried to bar the transfer of more than 500 song titles last week, but in some cases users found ways to rename their files and keep sharing songs.
CASTING Kick boxing expert Kelly Hu (''Martial Law'') will star opposite WWF star the Rock in Universal Pictures' ''The Scorpion King.'' The action prequel to ''The Mummy'' follows the story of how the Scorpion King became the first pharaoh of Egypt. Hu will play the Scorpion King's trapped but tough love interest. The film starts shooting this week in Los Angeles.
TUBE NEWS Emmy winning actress Dana Delany (''China Beach'') must've figured if her ''Beach'' pal Marg Helgenberger (''CSI'') had a hit series, it was time for her to return to prime time too. Delany has decided to star in a Fox drama pilot called ''Pasadena.'' Directed and executive produced by Diane Keaton, the pilot features Delany as the heiress of a famous but greedy Los Angeles publishing family.... ''Ally McBeal'' guest Jami Gertz (''Less Than Zero'') will star in an NBC comedy pilot about two couples: one recently married and the other recently broken up.... Grant Show (''Melrose Place'') and Jon Seda (''Homicide: Life on the Street'') will star in an NBC drama pilot that's being described as a cross between ''NYPD Blue'' and ''Miami Vice.'' Each week, a different detective on the show ''Undercover'' will go on an a covert mission. Maybe Don Johnson can donate some of his white loafers to the show.
YET ANOTHER AWARDThe Robert De Niro - Cuba Gooding Jr. drama ''Men of Honor'' was named best patriotic picture at the American Veteran Awards. Ironically, the true story of Carl Brashear, the first African American man to become a Navy diver, beat fellow nominee ''The Patriot.'' Other nominees included ''Rules of Engagement,'' ''Tigerland'' and ''U-571.''
TOURING Eric Clapton will kick off the first leg of a North American tour promoting his album ''Reptile'' May 10 at Dallas' Reunion Arena. The legendary singer/ guitarist will then hit stadiums in the South, Midwest, and East Coast, ending this part of the tour June 21 and 22 at New York's Madison Square Garden.
CONGRATULATIONS Actress Lauren Holly, who most recently played Ethel Kennedy in the TV mini ''Jackie, Ethel, Joan,'' married Francis Greco, a Canadian born investment banker, Saturday in Toronto. This is a third marriage for Holly, 37, whose exes are Anthony Quinn's son Danny and Jim Carrey.

So I haven't talked to C in what feels like forever, which I understand is apart of the whole 'break' process. As well as apart of the, 'let me figure out my sexuality' process. But it's just hard. Before, it was like - we had to talk to each other. And now, whenever we make this awkward small talk online, it feels like we'd be better off just not forcing it. I wish that I could say all the things that I feel and want to say, but it's a matter of holding all of that back. She's extremely busy with her entire schedule with work and sports. And I'm busy with work and all of that. But it's like, at the end of the day, all I want to do is just be able to relax talking to her. But I can't even do that anymore.
Today I was cleaning out my voicemails on my phone, and the only one I had saved was from her before our one year. When we actually were on halfway decent terms. And it was just...idk. Sad doesn't quite suffice here. I miss hearing her voice more than I do seeing her type words to me on my computer. I mean, I see her at work in a blue moon, but even then - things are weird. I just miss us. So I called her and left a message, but I don't even know if it went through. And I don't know if I'm relieved or saddened by that.
I have no idea when any of this is going to get any better, or if it will even get any better.
Sorry for the retarded ranting.
First, retarded is a mean word. I'm not forcing you to stop, just saying it's not nice to say. Why am I even mentioning this? Because my crush hates that word :P She has a mentally retarded uncle that she babysits, so she really doesn't like people using that word.
ANYWAY, sorry for that..
Things get better, they really do. I'm sorry about what's happening. She, like you mention, needs her space to sort things out. Um, so you don't have these mopey moments just keep yourself busy. Take up a hobby or something. Anything to keep your mind distracted. Then before you know it, things will get better.
Err, if you're on a break, I don't think you sit around bored and lonely until she figures her shit out.... what she figures out at the end of that period might not include you.
So, start flirting, go on a date, live. If when she figures herself out, you're still single and available, then good for her. But, you can't spend your life sitting around waiting...
The break might even be shorter if she sees you having fun without her and gets worried.

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 561 - 13 February, 2003 Written Answers. - Bovine Diseases. Mr. Howlin Mr. Howlin 64. Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the number of cattle who died from botulism in 2002; if he is satisfied that humans are not at risk from bovine botulism disease; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3860/03] Mr. Walsh Mr. Walsh Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh): In 2002, there were 36 suspected outbreaks of botulism on farms and 147 deaths of cattle attributed to botulism reported to my Department's central veterinary laboratory or regional veterinary laboratories. Botulism is not a notifiable disease under the Diseases of Animals Act 1966. It is caused by a bacterium called clostridium botulinum that causes harmful effects by producing a toxin. There are five types of the botulism toxin, A, B, C, D and E. Types C and D are common to cattle. Bovine botulism can be contracted by contact with contaminated decomposing organic material such as poultry litter which contain dead poultry carcasses when spread on land grazed by cattle. 849 While humans may be affected by botulism, it should be noted that the specific toxins implicated in the conditions in humans are not those normally associated with the condition in cattle. It is also generally accepted that humans are resistant to the types of toxin that affect cattle. Furthermore, these toxin types are poorly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract and the toxins themselves are inactivated by heat treatment. The risk to human health from consumption of milk or meat from cattle on farms with cases of botulism, therefore appears to be remote. However, as a precautionary measure, farmers are advised to wear gloves, to wash their hands thoroughly after handling poultry litter and to avoid unnecessary contact with the material. My Department has also, by way of a press release drawn the attention of farmers to the botulism problem and has urged them to take precautionary measures when handling poultry litter material. Furthermore, my Department has written to dairy processors advising them about the condition and asking them to distribute an information-advisory note entitled, Good Farming Practice with regard to Spreading Poultry Litter [849] on Land, to the dairy producers supplying milk to them. In the same way, poultry processors were also circulated with a similar information-advisory note. An information note on botulism for veterinary practitioners and instructions for practitioners when dealing with suspected cases of botulism on farm have been circulated to private veterinary practitioners by district veterinary offices and copies of good farming practice with regard to spreading poultry litter on land are available to farmers from district veterinary offices.

Breakfast Topic: What is your class theme song? {WoW}
Feb 14th 2012 8:12AM The warrior song that you picked is ok but it's a bit bland for a warrior honestly. For some reason, Eye of the Tiger always pops into my head when playing my warrior. Something about all that hard work and sweat that Rocky puts in while doing his typical training montage seems to fit with the bare knuckle, straight-forward approach of the warrior class. No nonsense, just straight ahead head-bashing.
Guild experience no longer earned via guild achievements {WoW}
Dec 8th 2010 7:59AM Wow, this was a big mistake by Blizzard. The core of Guild Achievements is that people would work together and achieve a positive, tangible benefit for the guild. This was something that our guild really rallied behind and held onto going into Cataclysm. We had members saving all of their greens to DE after Cata came out so that they would count towards the DE'ing achievement (instead of DE'ing them when they got them and funding their own causes). We also had members farming up tons of meat to stockpile feasts that would count toward 5000 feast cooking achievement. We had upwards of 3000 feasts saved up and ready to go.
Now, all of that hard work was wasted. There is no tangible benefit for the guild other than a pointless achievement. I can understand if Blizzard was worried about guild's leveling too fast because of achievements. However, the philosophy, the core idea behind it was a good one. Would scaling achievements so that they give less reward be a more prudent solution rather than scrapping the whole system right outright?
Removing any game mechanic that encourages people to do something for the greater good rather than be selfish is just a mind boggling.

Insider Trader: 7 things that should stay in Cataclysm {WoW}
Apr 26th 2010 3:33PM A couple professions were given special daily quests or cooldowns as an easy way to money on a consistent and easy basis. Alchemists could do their epic gem transmute. JC's could run their daily and sell the dragon's eye. Miners could sell their titansteel cooldown or just buy the mats and sell the bar for a profit. These simple tasks equated to very easy and quick gold for whoever went through the effort of leveling the profession. I just wish it was more accessible to other professions. While other professions might have been just as profitable, it wasn't quite as easy or required an understanding of how the AH and server economy worked. I am able to make a ton of gold with my blacksmithing, don't get me wrong. But it's ridiculously easy to log into an alt, do my gem transmute, send it to my JC main, cut the gem (gems if it procs), do the JC daily, then run to the AH to sell the cut gem and the dragon's eye. I am able to get 300g or so right off the bat for doing those 2 things each day that take less than 5 minutes total. If my alchemy transmute procs, it's possible to make upwards of 500g. I just wish other professions had something this easy as a reward for going through the pain of leveling a profession.
Breakfast Topic: Design a unique healing spell {WoW}
Apr 9th 2010 12:51PM Wow, what an incredible thread!!
After reading all of the previous posts, the ideas for a healing consecrate for pally's and the resto treants for a druid are pure win! These ideas are fantastic, should be easy to implement, and seem to fit well with the class.
While not necessarily a direct healing spell, I feel as though druids need a new talent or ability to help with tank survival. Much in the same way pally's are gimped with raid healing, druids are gimped in terms of tank heals. Pally's are obvious tank healers and have cooldowns to help them out. Priests as well can heal tanks effectively and have either Pain Suppresion or Guardian Spirit. Shamans can be effective tank healers and can provide the damage reduction buff. What do druids have that can help tanks? It was mentioned earlier but a Barkskin type effect would be nice to pass out. Another option would be a last stand type or vampiric blood type cooldown to use. Having another tank cooldown to use would be nice at times, require some good coordination, and help druids bring something to the table to help out the tanks.
Another druid ability that I would be interested to see would be a varient of Typhoon. I conal spell that would launch soothing/refreshing water over raid members to reinvigerate them. Having a directional aspect to a healing spell would add a new twist for any healer really.
I'm not sure why but I really want to see a holy pally ability where they smash their mace into their shield. It would be like a gong almost. They smash their weapon into their shield and a blast wave of light/healing radiates from it. I guess it would be sort of similar to Eadric the Pure's Radiance.
Breakfast Topic: I don't have one of those {WoW}
Mar 17th 2010 8:14AM I REFUSE to do any of the Valentine Day achievements. I like achievements and go out of my way to some extent to get them. However, Valentine's Day IRL is a crock and it's even worse in game. Everyone running around with freaking hearts over their head and those stupid umbrellas and picnics everywhere. Give me a frickin break. I will never have my Violet Proto and I'm perfectly fine with that. A small price to pay for not getting tied into that nonsense.

Breakfast Topic: When it drops it's like magic {WoW}
Feb 19th 2010 8:24AM Our guild has been clearing 25 ToC for months now. I have cleared it personally 14 times while the guild has 19 or 20 clears. As a guild, we have yet to see a single Death's Verdict trinket drop from Twins. Not a single one, in 20 clears as a guild. One guildy was lucky enough to pick it up in a pug but that's it. We are going to keep clearing it as a guild until that freakin thing drops!
Luckily though, our first 4 or 5 times clearing Saurfang in 25 ICC yielded a very nice Deathbringer's Will. That was very welcome from our physial dps'ers obviously but we still have 2 trinket slots. We need to start seeing that Death's Verdict!!

Wish I could have attached the other pictures as well, but this should give you a decent idea of what I'm asking about..... I don't want to prune these trees at all, but I'm afraid that 10-15 years down the road they will be too big for the area. I planted these at the side of the deck to someday block out the sun a bit. I really don't want to have to cut down the biggest trunks. If I cut down the smaller trunks, will the larger ones grow up into straight, tall trees? |

you add more pix.. by simply responding to your own post ... not a great pic ... trees basically NEVER stop growing.. pruning.. or not pruning is not going to change that fact ... second.. with the lack of focus i cant tell why they are leaning.. if they are doing it.. trying to grow out of the shade of the house or some bigger tree.... they will NEVER grow straight up ... i cant tell about pruning.. until i see an in-focus pic and if they have to lean... of which is one of the reason to plant birch in the first place... make sure they dont lean TOWARDS the house... that would be the ones i would be looking at for removal .... ken |

I agree with ken_adrian! I'm having real issues with my River Birch trees that we planted about 11 years ago. They are totally out of control and very large. One is also leaning toward our house (due to a nearby Pecan tree). I don't think I would plant that variety of tree too close to my house again. They are lovely and do grow fast, but they can really get out of hand. We trimmed low-hanging branches for years, but the tree itself just got bigger and bigger. Good luck to you! I hope you find a way to prune them suitably! Also, beware of their root system because they are very "rooty" fellows! It may not pose a problem if your house is not built on a concrete slab, but otherwise, the roots can cause problems there too, as well as creating issues with your lawn. In retrospect, River Birch trees are lovely for a far end of a yard, but perhaps not too great up close to the house. It may be that if you are in a cooler zone than 8 or 9, the trees won't grow as fast. In Southern South Carolina, they grow like mad! |
This pic may be a little better. There's really no other trees close by that are causing shade issues.. and my house is only a one story and doesn't really block the sun either. |

Stainless steel blades, with ergonomic rubber/plastic handle and safety lock. Read More
- Type: Nail Clipper
- Color: Green/Gray

"Comfortable to use"
I hate the clippers with the skinny handles that look like they just have a vinly/plastic coating. They roll and never stay in place even in my small hands, especially when I'm trying to handle a dog who is determined to NOT get his/her nails clipped. While these clippers may seem clunky, they are so comfortable to use. They fill my hand so I don't have to worry about constantly getting them in place during those few precious seconds the dog considers giving up. And they work on all nail sizes! I tried them on my GSD mix and my 5lb chihuahua. I have a similar pair that I've used for many years. The blades are still sharp and the handles hold up well and still feel like new.

We planted four grape vines a few years ago, and this is the first harvest. I'd love to make jelly, but counted on most of the grapes being Concord.....instead, three of the four are green/white grapes. (it was supposed to be two of each) They taste ok, but don't have the flavor of the Concord. If I mix them, will I get a good tasting jelly? Will they even make a good grape juice? Will I need to add other fruit juices to get a more palatable flavor? HELP???
Thanks for your help.
Follow-Up Postings:
They do make great white grape juice - just like you can buy in the store. Never tried making jelly out of them but I think I would mix them with other, more flavorfull fruit for best results, say strawberries or raspberries. Dave |

I imagine the white ones would make a more delicately flavored jelly. |
My friends, being out of town at the time, gave me clearance to harvest and utilize their Riesling grapes. I made jelly out of them. The labels looked posh when I wrote "Riesling Grape Jelly". I didn't try any myself, but the person I gave it to said it tasted good. To each their own. |
I made jelly from red seedless grocery-store grapes. I was a beautiful pink and very delicate-tasting, we liked it better than Smucker's. Then again, anything homemade is better. I'm going to try with wild (fox) grapes if I get enough this fall. |

An often rushed interview process can lead to a bad match Jack Bechta
Tell me about your lifestyle.
Like any field, the agent business has its share of partiers, alcoholics, egomaniacs, and those who are just along for the ride to garner status. The agent business is a lighthouse for individuals who want to be in the spot light and use their clients to do so. This isn't always a bad thing but it usually results in the agent putting their own best interest before their clients.
I would ask an agent how often they drink and to what degree? Do they use drugs or smoke weed (this may be a plus for a few players)? Do they go to the clubs with their players? I would ask what kind of car they drive and how much they paid for it. You can usually find out a lot about some one by what they drive.
An agent can be an impactful positive or negative influence on a young man. I would want my son's agent to have solid values and be a positive influence. In addition, because of all the mingling that goes on at the all-star games and combines, NFL front office execs get a good feel for whom an agent really is. They sense who has integrity and who doesn't. That perception/opinion can carry weight when evaluating a player, shaping a roster or doing a contract. As one GM put it to me years ago, "we can get a sense of a player's values by seeing whom the agent is that he selected".
What is the plan if something goes wrong?
The odds are that more will go wrong with a player's career than will go right. The truth is that when a client is performing at a high level, on a good team and has been healthy, our job as an agent is at its easiest. It's when players get released, are playing for bad organizations and are injured is when an agent's skills and time are needed most. However, nobody really likes hearing these conversations. When an agent talks too much about all the down sides of the business, players seem to be instantly turned off. It's because they are young, mostly naive, feel invincible and want to focus on the best scenarios that the draft and an NFL career can offer.
I would ask an agent how, why and when they would ever pursue a trade or a hold-old (the ability to hold out now under the new CBA is limited) and what is their procedure for doing so. I would also ask them about their knowledge of workman's compensation, injury settlements and try to get a sense of their ability to stand up to any NFL organization when their client is being mistreated by the front office, coaching staff and or trainers.
An NFL career is an amazing opportunity that can evaporate at any moment with an injury, because of a bad decision and/or lack of preparation. The money made can also be squandered, as is consistently done by the majority of NFL players. A good agent who does the hard work when nobody is looking, is willing to spend time to educate his clients, is there for a lifetime - not just the good seasons, can make a huge difference in a players life both professionally and personally. So for all those involved in the agent selection process, do your homework, take your time and ask the hard questions.

This. So much this. I hate standing in the stupid corner. Being a priest, it's so much easier to shackle one of the range. I can't imagine that Blizz designed that instance in such a way that standing in that stupid corner is the best strategy. Hell, most times I run it with a warrior tank and he does just fine picking up all the mobs when I force the group to stand out in the open. I hate that stupid corner so much....

Beginning a Journey
This is a great time of year to begin a healing or growth journey.
It's also the most amazing gift you can give yourself and, if you're in a relationship, your partner.
Our plans have changed so we'll be in Jo'burg over December and are available for healing and growth sessions, lessons and massage experiences.
We are offering a limited amount of Tantra Evolution DVD sets, 6 titles for R1000. Truly a gift that gives more and more and more pleasure…
10 000 Pulsations of Pleasure
We are constantly evolving and expanding the experiences we have to offer.
This is a deep experience of healing, release and pleasure that we are so excited to share with you.
The pulsations move through your body, layers of your being in waves of energy.
A Special Evening of Exploring Sexuality
with Lara and Jonti
Tantra Evolution and Pharaohs Fantasy Club are presenting a special evening for couples wishing to explore their sexuality.
In a safe space, with laughter and fun, we're going to look at the truth of exploring sensuality, sexuality and eroticism with others.
The first part of the evening is a relaxed discussion. We'll have a glass of wine, a snack…
We'll talk about the possibilities, what these experiences may involve, creating safety, communication, exploring fantasies, what happens after, the difference between sensual and sexual experiences etc.
After this you're welcome to leave, allow what we've spoken about to sink in, have a discussion with your partner.
If you'd like to stay and begin a gentle exploration of the possibilities, we're going to guide you through some gentle experiences.
This world can be very exciting. It can also be challenging and scary.
The experiences can add to your relationship or be destructive.
We'd like to help you make a conscious choice from a place of possibility not fear.
We'll have a date for this soon.
We wish you so much pleasure
Jonti & Anne-Marie
Our friend and fellow tantrika, Rohan Reddy is putting together an event called "Tantragasm" for more info on this exciting happening, click on the link below

"The recipe leaves out a few instructions, but here's what I did: I threw in the pinch of salt before folding the egg whites into the torte batter. For the frosting I used the juice of one lemon. Also, for the frosting, I just blended the butter and sugar then threw everything else in, including the cocoa and the instant espresso. It turned out gre..."
"We made these per the given directions and they turned out great. To shape the bagels we rolled the dough into balls and stabbed a hole through each one. We brought them to Mother's Day brunch and everyone loved them."
"Wow, this soup is really good. What we did was saute/steam all the vegetables, including the lentils, in 1/3 cup of olive oil. Once they were cooked down a ways, I added the ginger, garlic and all the spices then let it simmer for 30 minutes. Then we pureed most of the chunks. My boyfriend said, "Wow, that's like Iron Chef good!" This recipe rocks..."
"This is a great recipe. We''ve made it 8 or 9 times so far and have gotten rave reviews from those who've shared it with us. We've tried it with large and tiny tapioca pearls and both work great. This pudding is so good you'd like to eat it all at once with a giant spoon. Thanks!"
"This was easy and yummy. I didn't have condensed milk or celery or pimentos, but it worked out with a little extra onion and some canned green chilies. I left off the cheese and sprinkled the top with saltines instead. The tuna, cream of mushroom and pasta are the fundamentals, and they were there, so it turned out quite tasty. Thanks."
"I love this recipe! We have used it at least five times and it's always a hit. The flavors are so Mediterranean. It's great. We actually made a vegan version at Thanksgiving with soy feta and Parmesan substitute and it wasn't half bad. There were no left-overs. We also made it once with home-made polenta but the pre-made kind in the tube is just a..."
"This is a great recipe. I used the lady fingers in a trifle (Recipe #354868) and they were perfect. Thanks."
"This desert was insane! I was a little worried because I only let it chill for three hours instead of six, but it was a hit anyway. The presentation was impressive and very appropriate for Thanksgiving. I used Trader Joe's lady fingers for the parts that were visible from outside the dish and just to be a show-off, home-made lady fingers for the h..."

Skunk Hour Isolation Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #1
Nautilus Island's hermit (line 1)
This line isn't about our speaker, but reflects the isolation of the townspeople. The old lady stays in alone all the time.
Quote #2
the hierarchic privacy (line 8)
Again, Lowell reinforces that this a place where people like to keep to themselves. It doesn't exactly give us a warm and fuzzy feeling about the town.
Quote #3
we've lost our summer millionaire, (line 14)
OK, so this isn't the most serious part of the poem, but it gives us the sense that the population decreases on the island during the off-season, and that it gets a little lonelier.

The Rt. Rev. Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, on Monday commended President Goodluck Jonathan for signing the Same-Sex Prohibition Law.
``I also want to commend the National Assembly for the zeal and enthusiasm with which they passed the bill," Kukah said at a media roundtable in Sokoto.
``As far as I am concerned, anybody who lives in Nigeria and most parts of Africa knows that culturally, religiously and morally, this is not our life and culture,'' he said.
The bishop called on Nigerians to continue to showcase Nigeria and promote its unity.
Kukah said that Nigerians had a lot in common, adding that ``the media must, therefore, focus on issues that can further unite Nigeria."
Similarly, the Da'awah Coordination Council of Nigeria commended Jonathan for signing the law.

The popular Raspberry Pi single-board Linux computer gets a new add-on camera device.
The wildly popular Raspberry Pi project has announced that it is working on an add-on camera module for the single-board Raspberry Pi computer. The camera unit will sell for around US $25. So far, the project has not set a release date for the new camera module. A post at the Raspberry Pi forum states the camera is "...a fixed focus 5MP sensor capable of 2592x1944 stills, but also 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p60/90." The dispatch adds, "We are still working on the faster frame rates, but stills capture and 1080p30 are already working. There is still some work to do on the camera driver and on image quality."

text: RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - U.S. Sen. John Thune says South Dakota ranchers hurt by an early October blizzard could get help through the new farm bill as early as April. The farm bill passed by Congress last week restarts a livestock disaster program that had expired. Lawmakers have pressed the Agriculture Department to expedite implementation of the provision, and Thune said this week he hopes checks can start going out in April. Western South Dakota ranchers lost an estimated 43,000 cattle and other livestock in the Oct. 4-5 blizzard. The farm bill provision will reimburse eligible ranchers for up to 75 percent of their losses. Pennington County rancher Marvin Jobgen tells KOTA-TV he worries it will be 75 percent of what cows were worth in October. He says market values are higher now. AP-WF-02-14-14 1225GMT
