Superbly unspoiled, family oriented (but hip enough for teens) and of course, boasting the best shelling in the world, Sanibel has marvelous sunsets, infinitely interesting wildlife and vegetation, a variety of restaurants and great shopping! Of great delight to us amateur boaters, was the ability to inexpensively rent a pontoon boat, receive a brief but thorough inservice and head out in the waters between Sanibel and Florida. We fished, parked at a island, saw manatee, dolphin and the place that Jimmy Buffett wrote about in Cheeseburger in Paradise and did it all at our own pace. report a problem

State Section 529 Plans
This section of the site provides a state-by-state description of the various state section 529 plans. It includes all state prepaid tuition and college savings plans nationwide. Please visit each plan's web site for current information about fund expenses, minimum contributions and other information not summarized below. See also the ratings page for ratings of all the section 529 college savings plans for state residents and non-residents and advice on selecting a 529 college savings plan. A separate page discusses state income tax benefits, which may include full or partial state income tax deductions for plan contributions. The State 529 Plans Currently all states offer either a prepaid tuition plan or a college savings plan or both. Sixteen states offer both. These include:
One state offers just prepaid tuition plans:
Thirty-three states offer just college savings plans. These include:
Are Prepaid Tuition Plans Guaranteed? During a recession, state prepaid tuition plans feel financial pressure from two directions. State income tax revenue declines during and shortly after a recession, forcing the state government to cut its budget. State support for higher education is one of the first budget areas to get cut. Since tuition is one of the few revenue sources under a public college's discretionary control, the colleges make up the difference by increasing tuition. This typically results in double-digit tuition inflation for public colleges. In addition, recessions are often accompanied by stock market losses. The combination puts pressure on the actuarial assumptions behind the state prepaid tuition plan. Unless there is a future turnaround in the stock market, the prepaid tuition plans may not be able to fulfill all of their obligations to investors. It is not uncommon for the prepaid tuition plans to react by closing to new investors or by increasing the premiums over current tuition rates charged to new investors. Prepaid tuition plans in Colorado, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Carolina and Wisconsin are closed to new investors. Because of the risk that a plan might not fulfill its obligations, it is important to consider whether the plan is backed by the full faith and credit of the state. Of the states with prepaid tuition plans, only Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington provide a guarantee. The Florida and South Carolina guarantees are limited, with the Florida guarantee limited to students within five years of enrollment in college and the South Carolina guarantee limited to a 4% return on investment.

Coping With Changing Sleep Patterns as You Get Older
Topic Overview
Sleep patterns naturally change as you get older. Compared to younger people, older adults:
- Sleep fewer hours and take longer to fall asleep.
- Sleep less deeply and wake up more often during the night.
- Have more trouble adjusting to changes in sleeping conditions, such as a different bed.
- Have changes in their sleep cycle. Older adults spend less time in the most restful stages of sleep.
It's common for older adults to sleep less deeply and for less time than they did earlier in life. But these normal changes in the sleep patterns of older adults do not mean that the sleep they get is enough. Some experts believe that older adults may need as much sleep as younger adults.1
Routine poor-quality sleep caused by health problems, medicine use, and stress from major life changes can lead to chronic sleep problems at any age. This may increase the risk of serious health problems, such as depression. But few older adults get, or try to get, treatment for sleep problems. If you are an older adult and have trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor about what you can do to improve your sleep.
Tips for improving sleep for older adults
Here are some things you can try:2
- Get regular exercise and sunshine during the day.
- Keep the bedroom cool, quiet, and dark in the evening and night.
- Keep food and snacks out of the bed, if possible.
- Get out of bed if you are unable to sleep.
- Limit or reduce the need to wake up at night, such as for medicines.
- Follow the same evening and bedtime routines.
If you care for an older adult who isn't sleeping well, you might encourage him or her to try the above tips for improving sleep.
Sleep medicines
Doctors recommend taking sleep medicines only now and then or only for a short time. They are not the first choice for treating chronic insomnia. This advice about medicines applies to everyone, but especially to older adults. This is because, while anyone can become dependent on sleep medicines, these medicines can affect how well older people think during and after long-term use.3

BATON ROUGE - State Senator Rick Ward (R) stopped by 2une In Wednesday to talk about his piece of legislation that would block recalled officials from immediately running for the same office again.
It comes as voters head to the polls this weekend in Port Allen. Ex-Mayor Deedy Slaughter is once again on the ballot, after she was just recalled late last year. If passed, Sen. Ward's legislation would keep it from happening again.

Must-see attractions
Places of interest
Sydney's star attractions are famous for a reason. Along with the glittering harbour, these world-renowned landmarks are destinations in their own right. They are easy to access and look great on film. Be sure to include some of these in your itinerary when you visit Australia's global city.
Circular Quay
The vibrant, bustling and dynamic heart of Sydney Harbour is a gateway to many different attractions, as well as being a transport hub for ferries, trains and buses. The view from the train station alone is breathtaking and the Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary Art are all a short, harbourside stroll away. Circular Quay is a prime spot for viewing our world famous New Year's Eve fireworks spectacular.
Darling Harbour
This popular entertainment precinct is home to some of the city's best bars, restaurants and nightspots. If you want to get up close and personal to a shark, head to the Sydney Aquarium. The nearby Australian National Maritime Museum offers a closer look at a land girt by sea.
Powerhouse Museum
More than just a museum, the Powerhouse is a tribute to science, art, design, fashion, music and technology. Drawing from a collection of more than 500,000 pieces, its curators combine fascinating permanent exhibitions with must-see temporary displays.
Queen Victoria Building
Standing on the site of the original Sydney markets, the grand and majestic QVB is still a mix of shops and services. Finished in 1898, the building was a tribute to Queen Victoria. Stroll through and take in the high ceilings and intricate fixtures.
The Rocks
Nowhere is the contrast between old and new more visible than at The Rocks. Some of Sydney's oldest buildings can be found here, housing restaurants, boutiques, pubs and art galleries. Contemporary markets take over the main street on weekends and many free events are held throughout the year, including the Aroma Festival – a celebration of coffee.
Royal Botanic Gardens
With a backdrop of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, the Royal Botanic Gardens make an irresistible spot for people to relax, have some quiet time, soak up the sun's rays or learn about the 45,000 plants on display. Some 3 million people wander through this interconnected series of different gardens each year.
Free, 1.5 hour guided tours take place daily at 10.30am. A 1-hour tour leaves at 1pm on weekdays (except for Good Friday) between March and November. Self-guided and group tours are also available.
Sea Life Sydney Aquarium
See 12,000 aquatic creatures from 650 species co-exist in a spectacular underwater playground. You can get up close and personal to a shark thanks to the unique underwater viewing tunnel, as well as seeing the world's biggest Great Barrier Reef display.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Six million hard-working little rivets hold the world-famous bridge – which measures 134 metres above sea level at the top of its arch – together. Work began on the national icon in 1923 and it was officially declared open in 1932. It has been central to the City of Sydney's New Year's Eve celebrations for many years, as fireworks project over and under it.
You can wander across the bridge from the city to Sydney's north side 24/7; it takes about 20 minutes from pylon to pylon. Or walk up 200 stairs to the Pylon Lookout for a magnificent view and a browse around a museum dedicated to the bridge's history. For the ultimate view, book a spot with BridgeClimb and join a supervised excursion to the very top!
Sydney Opera House
Audiences have enjoyed Björk, Bach and the ballet in the many and varied performance spaces under the Opera House's iconic white sails. Bars and eateries, including a world-class restaurant, share the space and spill over to the surrounding forecourt and promenade.
Visitors can enjoy a Sydney Opera House Tour (1 hour) or go behind the scenes on the Backstage Tour (2 hours, beginning at 7am, before cast, crew and equipment move in). French, German, Japanese, Korean and Chinese speaking guides are available as are tours in Auslan for people who are hearing impaired.
Sydney Tower
"Centrepoint" as it is known to the locals is an engineering and architectural marvel and underneath is Sydney's latest shopping precinct, where international fashion labels sit seam-by-seam with local design talent. At the top of Sydney Tower you'll find amazing views and revolving restaurants. While you are there and if you are brave enough, step outside and onto the Skywalk platform.
Wild Life Sydney Zoo
The Australian animal adventure in the heart of the city. Walk through iconic Australian habitats and encounter loved, feared and unique Australian animals.

The Coming Rental Housing Wave
The apartment market is the housing industry's and the broader economy's poster child for good news and optimism. It's an exciting time to be in this growing sector where it is projected that $1 trillion in capital and 10 million additional apartment units are needed in the next 10 years as more individuals turn to apartment living.
The market growth is influenced by changes in demographics and consumer attitudes toward renting. The move from owning to renting reflects financially stressed households (who may face short sales or foreclosure of homes they had owned) and an increase in young and newly formed households who have decided to postpone homeownership in favor of renting during unsettled economic times. In fact, the decline in the homeownership rate has been sharpest for those household heads under 30 years of age.
Consider these facts:
- Renters make up more than 40 million households – about one third of U.S. households.
- For every one percent that the current homeownership level of 66 percent decreases, one million individuals become renters.
- The demographics show a significant increase in immigrants, 20-34 year olds, and baby boomers entering the rental market.
In the last 12 months ending mid-year 2011, 1.4 million households moved into rental housing, while rents and occupancy rates have steadily increased due to the limited supply of apartments. There has also been virtually no new apartment construction in the last two years, which means demand will outpace supply in the next few years. In addition, many older buildings are in need of renovation. In fact, the median age of apartment buildings nationwide is almost 40 years. The good news is that new construction projects are underway in some metropolitan markets, with plans for more. I recently read an article about how "the most migratory of birds, the construction crane" has returned to Philadelphia. However, construction activity is still a fraction of what it needs to be, and what it was for much of the 1990s and 2000s.
In the last few months I've talked with lenders, borrowers, and investors about these trends and the positive change in the country's attitude toward the benefits of renting. I also heard their views on multifamily market conditions in their local areas, the majority of which are recovering, and the relatively few that are not doing so well.
In these conversations, I reflected on the remarkable performance of Freddie Mac's Multifamily area – how we've been financing loans in every market condition and industry crisis. During the past 20 years, Freddie Mac Multifamily has been a consistently profitable business with strong credit management and some of the lowest delinquency rates in the country, all while serving the affordable rental market. And more recently, since we began securitizing multifamily loans in 2009, our strong securities performance has translated into highly competitive mortgage pricing for borrowers and has generated strong investor interest.
The bottom line is that the multifamily market is poised for growth due to strong demand, healthy fundamentals, and limited supply. These trends have renewed interest in the sector and investors are returning as evidenced by an increase in acquisition and refinancing activity. This is good news for America because rental housing makes economic contributions to the community by creating jobs and providing residents that can support local businesses. Given Freddie Mac's track record and ability to provide leadership and innovation in the multifamily market, we also look forward to serving the future needs of renters in America by focusing our expertise, relationships, and ability to leverage private market capital to deliver the mortgage financing that will be needed by this growing sector in the future.

2. FAQs
Q. What's the maximum number of arguments that I can pass to a batch file?
A. You can pass as many as nine arguments (%1 to %9) to a batch file. For example, if I run test.bat
@echo off
echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
by typing
C:\>test a b c d e f g h i
the batch file accepts all nine arguments and displays the following output onscreen:
a b c d e f g h i
Argument 0 (%0) is the name of the program or batch file. If you attempt to pass an argument numbered higher than 9 (e.g., 11), the batch file will use only the first digit of the argument number--for example, %11 would become parameter 1 (i.e., %1) and %543 would become parameter 5 (i.e., %5). If I include a few two-digit arguments in test.bat
@echo off
echo %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 %10 %21 %32
and run the batch file by typing
C:\>test a b c d e f g h i j k l
the batch file displays the following output onscreen:
test a b c d e f g h i a0 b1 c2
Notice that the batch processor amends a number to the parameters that it displays for the two-digit arguments. For example, for parameter 10 (%10), the batch processor used parameter 1 (value a) and added 0 to the end to display a0.
Q. How can I output all of a batch file's arguments?
A. Although you can typically output only nine parameters from a batch file, you can use a percent symbol (%) followed by an asterisk (*) to output all parameters for all arguments passed into a batch file. For example, if I run test.bat
@echo off
echo %*
by typing
C:\>test a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p
the batch file will display the following output onscreen:
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p
Q. How can I shift down by one all of a batch file's arguments?
A. You can use the Shift command to move all the arguments in a batch file down by one. If the batch file calls this command once, then argument %1 would become the second argument instead of the first and argument %0 would become the first argument instead of the name of the program or batch file. For example, when I run test.bat
@echo off
if "%0" == "" goto end
echo %0
goto next
by typing
C:\>test a b c d e f g h i j k
the batch file will display the following output onscreen:
You can optionally add /n to the end of the shift command where n is the argument to start from. For example, if you used
shift /2
%3 would become %2, %4 would become %3, but %0 and %1 would be unchanged. Obviously, you shouldn't use the /n switch in the above example because doing so will cause the list of parameters to never run out, thus causing a never-ending loop.
Q. How can I configure the Recovery Console (RC) in Windows 2000 and later to not require me to enter the administrator password?
A. To configure the RC to not require you to enter the administrator password, perform the following steps:
- Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
- Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole registry subkey.
- Double-click SecurityLevel, set its value to 1 to not require password entry (or 0 to require the user to enter the password), then click OK.
- Close the registry editor.
You can also use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Local Security Settings snap-in (go to Local Policies, Security Options, "Recovery console: Allow automatic administrative logon") to configure this setting.
Q. Why do I receive an error when I'm previewing an image or video from My Computer under Windows XP?
A. The error you describe,
Creation of the video preview failed.
Please check the device connection and make sure that the device is not being used by another application or user.
is a known problem that can occur if you unplug and reconnect an imaging device without closing My Computer. To resolve this problem, close and re-open My Computer.

A child with autism appears to live in his or her own world, showing little interest in others and a lack of social awareness.
Children with PDD have difficulty with language, communication, socialization, and motor behaviors. Autism is an example of a PDD.
If you are a parent or grandparent of a child with an ASD, it can be heartbreaking if you feel like you just can't connect with him or her. But learning more about these disorders and what has helped others should help you and your relationship.

"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" narrates in crystalline verse the strange tale of a green knight who rudely interrupts the Round Table festivities one Yuletide, casting a pall of unease over the company and challenging one of their number to a wager. The virtuous Gawain accepts and then decapitates the intruder with his own axe. Gushing blood, the knight reclaims his head, orders Gawain to seek him out a year hence, and departs. Next Yuletide, Gawain dutifully sets forth. His quest for the Green Knight involves a winter journey, a seduction scene in a dream-like castle, a dire challenge answered, and a drama of enigmatic reward disguised as psychic undoing.
©2007 Simon Armitage; (P)2007 BBC Audiobooks America
"'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' is one of the eerie, exuberant joys of Middle English poetry....Simon Armitage has given us an energetic, free-flowing, high-spirited version. He reminds us that 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' still wields an uncanny power after 600 years." (The New York Times Book Review)
"great original, translation, and reader"
I loved this in Middle English, in grad school, and it was a huge treat to encounter a skilled reader, a very good new translation AND the original as well, competently read.
The story is really good, and the poetry remains to a fair extent in the translation. The reader is outstanding.
"Enjoyable old time chivalry"
I especially appreciated the scholarly lecture at the beginning telling me about what I was about to hear and why it was so special.
A truly epic poem that kept my interest until the very end.
The untranslated version after the modern english version was interesting as well.
"English to the core"
Wonderful to hear the gritty reading, with an appropriate but understandable northern accent, which to me (born long ago in Northern England) brings a great sense of reality to the performance. A great change from the upper class accents that so often accompany English readings.
"Unbelievable Beauty!!!"
I can easily say that the alliterative translation, and it's reading by Simon Armitage, is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my life. Unable to get enough, I am now listening to the second half of the book, which is the poem in Old English. BRAVO at a magnificent accomplishment!!!!!!!
"Arthurian Romance"
The poem was easy to understand, much like The Lady of Shalott, or The Highwayman. And any one that loves a good Arthurian tale will surely love this. Another added bonus was the translator Simon Armitage's introduction. And at the end of the story Bill Wallis, who by the way does a fantastic job, re-reads the poem but this time in Middle English, wow it was a real treat to hear it the way it sounded 600 years ago.
I grew up on Golden Age Radio, and while I love to read, I typically consume more books via audio thanks to a job that lets me listen while I work. As an aspiring writer, I try to read a great deal of non-fiction in addition to a variety of fictional genres. I especially love history, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and old-style gothic horror.
"A Poetic - Not Literal - Translation"
The translator's introduction is invaluable for getting across the exact point of what this version is all about. The medieval version of this poem is alliterated, and rather than directly translate the words to modern English for the sake of the story, liberties have been taken to recreate the poetry of the alliteration and verse meter while. The story is therefore a more liberal translation, but serves quite well on that point for those seeking poetry over linguistics.
There are a number of versions of this tale told throughout the ages, and much like with any legend from the Arthurian lineup, I find myself seeking out multiple versions to compare and contrast how they've evolved. As I am not well-versed in medieval English, I find this translation to be welcome for it's preservation of the poetic form. I've read a number of prose translations over the years, and much like with The Iliad and The Odyssey, I feel like I've come closer to appreciating the poet's original intent when presented with a version such as this where the poetry itself takes center stage. It's made that much more so when the translator, via the narrator, connects this story backwards from Arthur's Briton to the fall of Troy.
The narrator reminds of me of a historian you might see on PBS. He sounds scholarly enough to get the point across that he's the surrogate for the translator, but at the same time he offers a quiet dignity to the tale itself, calling the listener back to the original poet, perhaps reciting his work around a campfire to a cadre of soldiers. All in all, a superb rendition, one that any medievalist or Arthurian enthusiast should seek out.
A poem should be heard. This recording is excellent -- the reader understands what he's reading and is exciting to listen to. His reading reveals a superior grasp of the characters and the story.
"I wish I could give this a ten star rating"
I studied Old English in college and thus, was exposed to the language of Medieval English, which is an odd, but beautiful, combination of German and English. I have loved to read and to hear Old English read ever since. Don't misunderstand - the modern translation comes first in recognizable English, so if you don't have the Old English background, don't worry. The Old English version comes after the modern version, so consider the length of the actual tale to be half the length of the audiobook.
This is a masterpiece of English literature that was made into a spectacular listen by Bill Wallis, who is now my favorite narrator. Everyone says they could listen to their favorite narrator read the phonebook, but I could listen to Bill Wallis read algebraic equations. Think of a more suave version of James Earl Jones with a gentler tone and more resonance and you have Bill Wallis.
The tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is an Arthurian legend about honor, chivalry, and loyalty. It has a wonderful message and it's a short, fun read. The only caveat is that the seduction scene, while certainly not X-rated, gets rather intense, so keep it away from little ears.
This would be a great listen for anyone who enjoys the Arthurian tales, anyone interested in English literature, and anyone who would enjoy hearing one of the best narrators in the business read a great legend.
"What a treat!"
Simon Armitage's lyrical translation of this 600-year-old medieval English poem begs to be read aloud. Bill Wallis was an inspired choice; his gruff but warm reading perfectly suits both the soaring alliteration and the more rustic, colloquial moments of the story. (His northern accent lent a special authenticity to the performance; the poem was composed in a Northwest Midlands dialect.)
Armitage's rendering of the poem sacrifices literal translation for the sake of preserving alliteration and rhyme. The result is a musical cascade that carries the reader effortlessly through the tale. The story itself is almost a satire of chivalric ideals; how can a mere man, however noble and well-intentioned, aspire to perfection? Not to mention the impossibility, as Gawain's seductress shows him, of remaining both chaste and perfectly courteous? (Suitably, Gawain, the would-be perfect knight, is far harder on himself when confronted with his failings than anyone else, including his adversary.)
As an added bonus, Wallis reads the original Middle English poem as well. It is fascinating to listen to; some lines are perfectly understandable, while others sound like some weird, lost Germanic language.
This medieval Englsh poem was intended to be listened to - not read. This version allows a modern audience to respond to it in perhaps a similar way to those listening in or around the year 1400.
One can picture Sir Gawain easily - not only physically in the perfection of his body and clothes, but also as a young knight eager to behave as he knows he should. His reaction when confronted with his failings is movingly described.
Narration by Bill Wallis would give depth and drama to the back of a cereal packet.
The moment when the identity of the Green Knight is revealed.
I wondered if I would be able to concentrate on this, sharing as I'm afraid I do the lack of concentration of many other modern listeners to anything that might be difficult or out of the ordinary. I needn't have worried. I only stopped listening when real life intruded, and then was eager to get back to it.Sir Gawain and the Green Knight has been translated into a masterly modern alliterative version by Simon Armitage - and Bill Wallis was the perfect narrator of this timeless, moving, magical story. Then there is the bonus of hearing the text as it probably sounded in its original form - musical to listen to even when one only understands part of each stanza.

USA Today's story (4/3/14) on the Supreme Court's eliminating cumulative campaign contribution limits in the McCutcheon decision began with this:
The way the Supreme Court sees it, Americans' free speech rights are more important than stopping US elections from becoming ever more expensive.
Well, no–the point of contribution limits isn't to make elections cheaper; it's to limit the ability of the very wealthy to dominate politics. Framing the issue as a choice between the First Amendment and frugality is a good way to put a thumb on the scale. (To be fair, the article goes on to acknowledge that the decision will "boost the influence of money in politics and the power of wealthy donors and party leaders.")
Likewise, the Chicago Tribune (4/3/14) distorted the concerns of advocates of limits on contributions when it editorialized:
Election years might be less noisy or irritating if less money were spent by people who want to spread a message.
The worry is not that elections will be more "noisy" or "irritating"–it's that our society will be more oligarchic.

Yukon Bermuda Assistance
When we moved in to a newly built house five years ago, we were given fescue but I supplemented with bluegrass. I snuck a small circle of Yukon Bermuda (about a foot in diameter) to see what it would do and I would now like to spread it out. I sprayed round-up around the perimeter of the Yukon and used a bulb planter to transplant some plugs into other areas of the yard, but the grass doesn't seem to spread even into barren areas (and, of course, the seed isn't available this year).
My question is probably one you never thought you'd hear: How can I encourage my bermudagrass to spread?
I'm in Durham. We've been upper 80's-90's, not too many 100's yet.
I fed it some miracle grow, increasing monthly until I burned some of the plugs (they're coming back now, slowly, so it is bermuda grass).
Is there any supplemental nutrient that encourages spread?
TW is talking about LESCO brand fertilizer specifically 39-0-0 that he always suggested. If you can find a local LESCO store, get one (google it). It's enough to last you all growing season with 19.5 lbs of nitrogen meaning 19,500 sqft of coverage in 50lbs bag at the rate of 1lbs per 1000 sqft. If there's no local LESCO store, maybe Home Depot will care LESCO fertilizer. Over here, HD stores carry them but not 39-0-0. Usually it's 15-5-10 and 24-0-11 (or similar formulation) that you should get if you can't get 39-0-0.
Durham's climate is not the most conducive to Bermuda; Fescue is. If you don't like Fescue, then try Bluegrass or Fine Fescue in shady areas. Bermuda performs in Central NC during the months of June, July, and August. And, if we get warm temperatures in September like we it happened last year, then you'll get that and that's it; back to brown again.
I've seen some nice bluegrass lawns as well as Fescue lawns in Durham, in fact, the turfgrass grown at South Point Mall is a mix of KBG and Fescue. It looks really good right now, even during the hottest month.
I'm not sure you'll consider this agreement, but my back yard is great for KBG, but my front yard seems to be too sunny for too many hours during the day, especially with the watering restrictions still in effect, I can expect "amber waves of grain" for a large part of the summer.
I have a few years experience with the small patch of Yukon Bermuda and it does green up early and go dormant late, I got almost 11 months of fairly dark green last year, in a small patch to the side of the house.
Looking at my neighbors yards, I can watch the "wild type" bermuda take over their lawns year after year. (It is possible that we are just down-wind from the golf course next door which is mostly bermuda grass and getting contamination from their crop. Buteven a significant period of winter dormancy wouldn't be out of place.)
djw nc,
If you like the bermudagrass, go for it, but note that is not the best adapted grass in your area. I personally don't mind the brown period so much if, and only if, during the green period that grass will be fine bladed, dark green, very dense, and without invanding flower beds too much. That warm season grass does not exist today, not for us homeowners.
As far as your 11 month green bermuda lawn in Central NC, you were most likely looking at a different grass - Texas weed can confirm that. There's no bermuda or warm season grass that can stay green in Central NC for 11 months out of the year. I don't even think that's possible in Texas or northen Florida where it's warmer longer than here. If that was the case, whatever bermudagrass is growing in your yard will be the next ticket to financial freedom.
Don't take this personal, I've been around turfgrass for many years now, I have even volunteer at the local golf course where I played; and even with golf course maintanance I have never seed a bermudagrass be fully green in Central NC for more than 4 months.
Most people in Central NC who make the change from Fescue to warm season grass is because they don't want to water during the summer or ever.
My 100% Kentucky Bluegrass lawn is 100% green today despite the heat that most people claim kills fescue. I have only watered my lawn 3 times this year, and it was back in early June.
Here's a picture of my dark green Kentucky Bluegrass lawn next my neighbor's Zoysia:
I think it shows very well...
How established is your lawn? How much rain have you gotten from mother nature in the past 2 months? What's the temperature been like for the last month there? I'm just curious about these variables as your lawn looks really good given that you said it's hot there. I've got a TTTF lawn that I'm trying to keep that green, but there are a lot of "straw" looking blades that have died since it started getting hot. I did not water but maybe twice during spring this year, and my grass looked awesome. Now that it's starting to get hot, it's starting to suffer. Mind you, it's just barely 1 year old though.
I am not too surprized that Yukon is green there for 11-months as it is the most cold and frost tolerant of the Bermuda grasses. Given the mild winters of the last two years I don't have a problem believing that. Yukon was developed for Northern OK climate by OSU out of Stilwater OK.
Getting a little late but I would suggest you spring from the patch you have now. Simply rake/rip up the runners and plant in loosened soil. Keep it watered and fertilized and it should take off.
"How established is your lawn?"
My lawn is in its 3rd summer, but there's also new grass in there from 2007 Fall renovation.
"How much rain have you gotten from mother nature in the past 2 months?"
A lot! Mother nature has been very kind to us lately. However, most areas in Central NC are still running a deficit as far as average yearly rainfall.
"What's the temperature been like for the last month there?"
Look in here and you'll find the climate data (ie temperatures, rainfall) for the entire month of June in Cary, NC.
I also fertilize during the summer, it helps the grass, but only if constant moisture if provided.
Here is a link that might be useful: Temperatures for this month in Cary, NC
In your dreams, Texas weed. You do so much talk here that you know this and that, yet, I've never seen a single picture of your work...
One thing you keep forgeting is that North Carolina is NOT Texas. Your weather is different than ours, but you always make recommendations to people living in North Carolina and other states as well.
Up until this post, I had some sore of respect for your knowledge in regards to warm season grasses, but after you stated that it does not surprise you that bermuda is green for 11 months in Durham, NC is simply foolish.
If you think you know about cold tolerance of warm season grasses, why haven't you asnwer my post on the other thread about Emerald Zoysia?
You show me a bermuda grass that stays green in Durham for 11 months and I will go to Texas and buy ALL the sod you have in your farm to sell it here in NC because it is going to stay green for 11 months.
If that was the case, Yukon bermudagrass will be the grass of choice here in Central NC; it is NOT. Fescue, a cool season grass, is.
BTW, Fescue lawns go dormant here for more than a month if you didn't know.
I have a few years experience with the small patch of Yukon Bermuda and it does green up early and go dormant late, I got almost 11 months of fairly dark green last year, in a small patch to the side of the house.
So you just called the OP a liar. That is OK by me. All I said is I am not surprised with the mild winter the area has had latley. Some how you turned that around that I said it is normal. Get a grip on yourself, you are embarrasing yourself.
I don't have to answer your questions. It's not my job to teach you fact from your imagination.
"So you just called the OP a liar. That is OK by me."
Word twister, I said to the OP that maybe he was looking at a different grass that was green for nearly 11 months. That statement can easely be applied to the picture I posted with the Fescue lawn as you can see.
"All I said is I am not surprised with the mild winter the area has had latley. Some how you turned that around that I said it is normal. Get a grip on yourself, you are embarrasing yourself."
Don't be a fool, you know exactly what I meant. Mild winters in the area for NC stardards and 30 years of weather record, not for warm season grasses like bermuda which are native to Tropical areas of the world.
1. pertaining to, characteristic of, occurring in, or inhabiting the tropics, esp. the humid tropics: tropical flowers.
2. very hot and humid: a tropical climate.
3. designed for use in the tropics or in very hot weather (often used in combination): tropical-weight woolens.
4. of or pertaining to either or both of the astronomical tropics.
5. pertaining to, characterized by, or of the nature of a trope or tropes; metaphorical.
noun 6. tropicals, lightweight clothing, suitable for warm, esp. summer weather.
As one of the pictures clearly shows that even with mild winters in the past few years, temperatures dropped to the teens without problem and no snow cover to blanket the grass at night.
You said "I'm not surprised with the mild winters the area has had lately" which tells me you concur with the OP. That in fact you believe that Yukon bermudagrass could stay green for nearly 11 months in Durham, NC. If that was the case NC State Univ. will be all over it, sod farms will be all over it, homeowners will be all over it, golf courses will be all over it, etc... There's no warm season grass that does better adapted than Fescue in the Transition zone, hense it dominates the landscape.
So up until now, I held you in a higher standard, so agreeing with the OP gives you no credibility because you should know better. Again, the OP could have easely mistaken Yukon for fescue or even bluegrass which he said he supplemented with.
"I don't have to answer your questions. It's not my job to teach you fact from your imagination."
I take that as you really don't have an answer and can't come up with one and therefore, blah, blah, blah...
All forum members here know that this is a forum where people share knowledge to help others with their questions or concerns, so member participation is expected and not forced. You post here because you want to, and while is not my job to teach you some guidelines and forum common sense, I'm more than happy to as long as you and other forum members can benefit from it.
"Sou you want a PIC. It has been posted her before. 600 acres of 419 in early March at my sod farm of this year. Looks green to me."
No, I wasn't requesting a picture, I simply stated that I have never seen pictures from your work. Some times it's nice to see pictures that backup your hyperbolical statements; that's all.
By the way, my PRG looks better right now (July 17, 2008) than your 419 in March, you say all the time PRG dies in NC; sure...
Here are the pics of TW's sod farm.....
Here is a link that might be useful: TW's Sod Farm
Autek you moron, every golf course around Raleigh, heck all NC golf courses has Bermuda fairways/tees bent grass greens, and even some have Bermuda greens. I know I have a daughter in Raleigh who works at RTP, and I visit once a year and an avid golfer.
Sod farms don't do Yukon, it is a common variety from seed developed in Northwest Oklahoma for colder climates, where they measure snow in feet, not inches. Last time I was in Raleigh when it snowed 1/2 inch the whole city closed down and went into massive panic. So don't go blowing smoke how cold it gets there, I am not buying it.
Fescue and the cool season grasses are popular there for one main reason, all the darn trees. Heck you cannot find one thing in the area for all the trees blocking your vision. I hate the road system there, not one single straight road in the area. They just followed old deer and wagon trails though the forest.
When a poster wants to grow a specific variety I try to help them out, not convince them otherwise. Bermuda and Zoysia grow just fine in your area providing they get sunlight. All anyone has to do to find out what grows in any region is look at the local universities and product list of the sod farms.
You seem to forget I am a sod farmer. We have networks and communicate through all 50 states. I know sod farmers in all the lower 48 and have met a lot of them in person via conventions and work shops. So I don't have to live in a particular state to know what can be grown there. Raleigh is the same USDA zone I am in which tells me right away what will work and will not. Sure the cool season grasses work there and are favored, but that is only because of the milder Summers and shade issue with all the trees.
You are not fooling me or anyone else, so can it youngster.
Autek, I understand your belief that I was looking at the wrong type of grass, that concern gave me pause before posting here; but, I believe I am capable of identifying the grasses in my yard:
Fescue, tall, large blade no spreading. I don't like it because it doesn't spread and the day-long sun I get in the front yard burns it to a crisp. I replace the worst patch with mulch and a garden, but while the back yard looked picture perfect, the front yard would wither and thin. I did notice that the lawn you are proud of in your picture is shaded during daylight hours, The lot in which my house was built was clear-cut at building (as were the surrounding lots to raise the one across the street and raise ours, leveling out the ground somewhat and giving us some great clay soil to dig through).
KBG, thin blade with a boat like tip to catch the morning dew. Great stuff, I like it: it spreads and thickens, with fertilizer and water it is the ideal grass, but does go dormant during the summer in my front yard, when I'd like to enjoy walking barefoot in the grass. I even find the inflorescence scintillating (chemist joke, sorry). If I thought there was an end to the drought/development cycle in Durham that would make irrigation easier I would probably stick with it. I used run of the mill kenblue, specifically because of it's reputation (via NTEP) to return after dormancy.
Bermuda, either upright or horizontal, it looks like runners (yea, yea, yea: stolon) or little trees (leaves as though they emerge from a stem) and chicken feet seed heads. The patch of Yukon actually put up a few seed heads, but not as many as the feral bermuda that is taking over the neighborhood. I believe I have a patch of it in the dog zone, but the neighbors have runners measured in feet crossing the sidewalk and reaching out for passing cars. During the winter, it all does go dormant (mine was dormant through parts of December and January, including the 1/4/08 that you posted, but greened up during a warm spell later that January. I don't expect to get 11 months every year, but I'll take it when I can get it. Walking the dog around the neighborhood, I am amused at the disparate times of green-up among the bermuda grasses. The first house in the neighborhood has a patch that didn't green up until May, but the FOT patch across the road was green in early spring with the daffodils. (It literally fell off the truck of a landscaping truck delivering sod and was about the size of a patch he had in a formerly fescue lawn. In 10 years, under a fescue regime, it took over several hundred square feet, this is what I was hoping for.)
I now believe that the Yukon is just not as aggressive a spreader as the standard bermuda, if you've been reading this far, I'd strongly suggest you try it, it's a much improved bermuda in terms of density, color and (lack of) seed production, at the expense of aggressive spread -- which someday I'll probably laud, but I can't say that day is today. I've been keeping a watch on seed production, and two years out of the five (-ish) that I've been watching they have not been able to market the seed, which may prevent it's adoption by landscapers accustomed to overseeding fescue (year after year after year...). If I want a larger patch of Yukon, it'll probably require waiting until seeding is a possibility.
I was judging Kenblue KBG and K31 TTTF against the improved Yukon bermuda, which may be an unfair comparison, but in my front yard with hour after hour of mid-day sun, the bermuda is green when I want it the most, and more amenable to a lower watering regime which is not dependent on the whims of the local water management department (http://www.ci.durham.nc.us/departments/wm/water_update.cfm) or captured parking lot runoff as is my understanding at Southpoint. (I can't find a like to the support my understanding of Southpoint's water managemtent, but if bermuda doesn't grow in the triangle, why is C.A.R.Y. starting a "Warm Season Grass Incentive for New Development" (http://www.carynews.com/front/story/9392.html) given the fairway quality requirements seemingly written into the bedrock of that fair community?
tak2w, thanks for pointing me to that thread, I think I will listen to the lone star turf wrangler, even though it may end up requiring patience.
It reminds me that in the interest of full disclosure, I grew up on St. Augustine in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The speed of the spread of the SA was measured in lost pets, the only thing that would hold it back was the Kudzu. I seem to remember that there is a NCSU SA (wolfpack?) that may be cold tolerant enough for up here, but now the seed heads remind me too much of the the DOT replants with and the blades are larger than I'd like.
TW, I don't mean to pry, but I must. The picture you posted above from "this march" is the EXACT same picture in the link that tak2w posted above.....from last September.
Look, I have lived in NC all my life and grew up 20 miles from Durham and Raleigh. Bermuda will do fine in the summer, but it will not stay green for 11 months. Not Yukon, 419 or anything. Heck, I live south of Wilmington and mine does dormant in late October/early September. The climate where you are is completely different than that here.
texas_weed, I've been following this thread and watching the debate going back and forth. You probably shouldn't lie about when your photos were taken. You say that is a picture of your sod farm in March. Normally, it wouldn't really matter that that's not the case, but it definitely does given your argument. In case you didn't know, when you take pictures with a digital camera, there's a small section of the file that contains EXIF data, which is meta-data about the picture.

Heelsfan, I never said Yukon or Bermuda would stay green for 11 months in the RTP area. At least I did not intend that. I said I was not surprised if it did with a mild winter in the area. Here in TX we can have an 11 month season once every few years like 2006. In RTP area I would say the norm is 5 to 6 months for the hybrids and maybe a bit longer for the improved seeded varieties like Yukon on average. OK?
As for the pix age, my bad. It was posted last September. I get forgetful in my old age. The point is we greened up a little late this year in March only to have 16 inches of snow dumped on it the week of March 17 or thereabouts. I made a post about it if you want to look it up. Normally we go dormant around T-Day or first week in December, and start greening up late Feb. So I apologize for any inaccuracy in my statement, I didnt mean to mislead anyone.
Anyway the whole point of this thread is the OP wants to grow Yukon, not Fescue or Rye. I say go for it if that is what you want, and I will try to help to that end.
"Autek you moron, every golf course around Raleigh, heck all NC golf courses has Bermuda fairways/tees bent grass greens, and even some have Bermuda greens. I know I have a daughter in Raleigh who works at RTP, and I visit once a year and an avid golfer."
Now down to personal insults... That shows what a low class citizen you are. Just because you visit RTP it doesn't translate into "heck all NC golf courses has Bermuda fairways/tees bent grass greens, and even some have Bermuda greens."
You couldn't be more wrong. The western part of the state, zone 6 with VERY MILD summers use mostly Rye and Bluegrass. I know, I own a cabin there and play golf there as well and I've yet to see a bermuda fairway or tees even. The average high temeperature in the month of July (the hottes month) is only 76 degrees F with lows in the 50
s at night. No bermuda will ever thrive with those temperatures, but bluegrass and rye will; easely.
You need to understand that NC is NOT Texas, and what grows in Texas does NOT translate it will grow in NC. Get that through your head if you can...
"Sod farms don't do Yukon, it is a common variety from seed developed in Northwest Oklahoma for colder climates, where they measure snow in feet, not inches. Last time I was in Raleigh when it snowed 1/2 inch the whole city closed down and went into massive panic. So don't go blowing smoke how cold it gets there, I am not buying it."
You're wrong here again. Sod farmers are going to grow what customers want (demand) wether seed or hybrid, IF is stays green for 11 months in Raleigh, sod farmers will grow bermuda from seed. Homeowners can care less if is seeded or hybrid, they want green, golf courses want green, so no, I'm not buying your hybrid story - maybe you can sell it in Texas, not here in NC.
As far as Yukon being for Oklahoma and they measure snow in feet not inches, even better for grasses to have a thick coat of snow to protect them against cold temperatures. We don't have consistant snow here to protect any grass during the winter months, which actually makes it worst if you didn't know.
Last time it snowed here in Raleigh was February 12, 2008. That's this year, not 10 or 20 years ago like you are playing down. I've live here 7 year and I have seen snow fall here every single year without fail. Schools might shot down because of safety reasons, but business operate as usual. I've never missed a day of work because of 1/2 of snow, maybe in Texas. We also get ICE wich is far worst than snow when it comes to driving, and you can't plow that.
"Fescue and the cool season grasses are popular there for one main reason, all the darn trees. Heck you cannot find one thing in the area for all the trees blocking your vision. I hate the road system there, not one single straight road in the area. They just followed old deer and wagon trails though the forest."
For me is perfect, just like Germany or many other beautiful roads found in many European countries. I can't stant dessert-like places with little to no flora, it's very deppresing to say the least.
Fescue is the best adapted grass in Raleigh, extensive research will prove that, hense its domination. Trees, rainfall, temperatures, disease, etc, are part of what defines Raleigh's weather, and no other grass can handle those obstacles as well as fescue. Like it or not, fescue is king here in Raleigh.
"When a poster wants to grow a specific variety I try to help them out, not convince them otherwise. Bermuda and Zoysia grow just fine in your area providing they get sunlight. All anyone has to do to find out what grows in any region is look at the local universities and product list of the sod farms."
And if you do that, you will find that Fescue is what grows in this area and is the best adapted grass, not Zoysia or Bermuda. Zoysia and Bermuda, both suffer winter damage here every year, and if you really wanted to help some one, you would tell them othwerwise. But you seem to forget that NC is not Texas, and what grows in Texas does not necessarely grow here in NC. I hope you get this one day...
"You seem to forget I am a sod farmer. We have networks and communicate through all 50 states. I know sod farmers in all the lower 48 and have met a lot of them in person via conventions and work shops. So I don't have to live in a particular state to know what can be grown there.

You making a fool of yourself once again. You said, "sure the cool season grasses work ther and are favored, but that is only because of the milder summer and shade issue with all the trees."
Of course, what else. It's part of the climate here in NC. This is a very lush state where flora grows very well. It's one of the characteristics that defines NC's weather, therefore it must be taken to account.
It's like saying, sure the warm season grasses work there and are favorate, but that is only because hot summers and no shade issues with NO trees. Dah, of course!!. It's no fluke that warm season grasses dominate the landscape in the deep south...
"You are not fooling me or anyone else, so can it youngster."
I think you better chose your words more wisely and read your posts before posting them so you don't end up looking like a fool once again and now a lier!!!
Well done.
WOW Autek...you make it your business to moderate TW. I think that you two would help more folk if you focus on commonalities. Remember we are here to help each other with lawns.
I gotta say your yard looked GOOD but it seems that you have an axe to grind on anyone that favors Bermuda as you know I got a "Mutt yard" SA inter-seeded with LaPrima XD Bermuda and Centipede in the back inter-seeded with the same bermuda. I love how the Bermuda fills in the gaps in the SUPER-SENSITIVE SA. Im sick of babysitting SA the bermuda is green,soft,resilient and pretty(to me) but on its own Im not the type of guy to cut 2xs per week so Bermuda looks "shallow" all alone because I let it grow to 3 inches.
So Im no expert like you and Weed but I just think that more can be done to help folk with "thier" needs.
Ok..Weed does seem to SLIGHTLY lean Bermuda folk to the sod stuff moreso than the seeded stuff otherwise he's helpful to me.
