Local Intelligence (April 22, 1896)
A strange bicycle rider ran into Morris Weber, little son of J. A. Weber, yesterday, and hurt him considereably, though not dangerously. His head and face were badly cut and bruised, and the boy looked as though he had attended a Donnebrook fair.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆō Firefighters from several local companies battled an intense blaze that destroyed the Punxsy Hotel Restaurant & Lounge, North Findley Street, early Saturday morning.
The fire was called in as smoke emanating from the Smuggler's Inn ŌĆō housed at the rear of the same structure ŌĆō around 3 a.m. Saturday.
Within minutes, police reported that flames were visible, and within an hour, the flames were emerging from the windows and front doors.
Shortly after 4 a.m., the north and south walls of the upper floors collapsed, damaging three vehicles parked near the building.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö At some point in 2011, a child saved his or her birthday money.
A group of teachers pitched in a couple of bucks to wear jeans to school on a Friday.
Spare change from the grocery store wound up in a special savings place, where it would eventually find its way to a greater good.
A high school senior dedicated his or her senior project to the cause. And this coming week is when those who saved money, pitched in a few bucks, stashed some change and performed fund-raisers realize that it was all worth it to light up a childŌĆÖs life.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Members of the Punxsutawney Fire Department will have their boots in hand from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this weekend at major intersections throughout town, collecting donations for area food banks. Boot drive locations are in front of the Lindsey Fire Hall, West Mahoning; Central Fire Hall, East Mahoning, Hampton Avenue and Front Street intersection; and Elk Run Fire Company; at the intersection of Elk Run and Graffius avenues.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö This Groundhog Day, the Inner Circle members wonŌĆÖt be the only ones dressed to the nines.
Years after a non-Groundhog Day related charity ball had run its course, the Inner Circle will host the first-ever Groundhog Ball, scheduled from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 ŌĆö just days before Groundhog Day ŌĆö at the Punxsutawney Country Club (See the accompanying box for more).
The evening will include hors dŌĆÖoeuvres, a cash bar, music by Rudy & The Professionals and, of course, an appearance by Punxsutawney Phil.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Just as the weather is beginning to turn frightful comes the news that PennDOT District 10 Jefferson County Maintenance is ready for Mother NatureŌĆÖs worst, with salt and anti-skid and snow plows.
The annual PennDOT plow inspection in last month went very well, said Paul Koza Jr., P.E., county maintenance manager.
Everything is ready to go, except for a few trucks that are receiving routine maintenance, Koza said.
All trucks are stationed at the county stockpile locations in Punxsutawney, Brookville, Emerickville, Brockway and Ringgold.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö ItŌĆÖs the battle of titans the world has awaited for more than 100 years, beginning this winter and ending this coming spring.
In this corner, Punxsutawney Phil; in the opposite corner, science. But Punxsutawney Area Middle School students taking part in a program to track the growth of tulips in various parts of the world ŌĆö and taking into consideration the onset of spring ŌĆö believe their hometown hero will emerge victorious.
ŌĆ£They think they will be right along with PhilŌĆØ and his Feb. 2 prognostication, whatever it may be, said PAMS fifth-grade teacher Jeff Kuntz.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö ItŌĆÖs a chance to take a breather from shopping, to find some new ideas for holiday decorating, or a way to see how other local residents embrace and perpetuate their own Christmas traditions.
ThatŌĆÖs what the annual Holly Tour is all about, and it runs from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday at six different locations in the Punxsy area (see the accompanying box on Page 3).
The tour, which is at least 20 years old, was first established by the former Young WomenŌĆÖs Club, of which Katie Laska, who owns LaskaŌĆÖs Pizza and CaterinaŌĆÖs Dolce Cucina, was a member.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö The Punxsutawney Area School Board welcomed its newly elected members at WednesdayŌĆÖs reorganization meeting and re-elected its sitting president.
District Judge Douglas Chambers swore in new board members Melissa Snyder and Jim Baun, as well as incumbents Jack White and Penny Muth Pifer.
During the boardŌĆÖs annual reorganizational meeting, Lesa Conner nominated and then made a motion to re-elect current school board president Gary Conrad. Pifer seconded her motion.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Margiotti Bridge ŌĆö and those who travel it ŌĆö will again see maintenance by PennDOT crews this coming summer.
PennDOT District 10 has scheduled rehabilitation for the bridge during the upcoming summer driving season, said Borough Manager Ben White, during TuesdayŌĆÖs Public Works Committee meeting.
White said PennDOT has scheduled the bridge construction for next summer with a detour for northbound traffic to travel down Indiana Hill; southbound traffic reduced to one lane of the bridge; and pedestrian traffic being maintained.

No more pain
Oct 29, 2011
By LadyQ
I had tendonitis and was looking for something to ease the pain that wasn't like greasy products that are for sale, and I found on the Internet that by mixing menthol crystals and alcohol you would get a solution that would take pain away. I tried it and it was like a miracle. I pour some on a towel and just leave it on over the aching part for a while and in a few minutes the pain is gone.

Great for bugs!
Nov 17, 2012
By Liane Blanco "web wench"
Burning menthol crystals is a great way to reduce the dust mites in your house. It also repels bugs of every kind - one whiff of this stuff and they run for their lives! I put a tablespoon or two in a wax burner and vaporize each room for an hour or two. Works wonders, and clears your sinuses too!

Just what I needed
Jan 01, 2013
By EternalWytch ""the trouble with stupid is that there is so much of it!"~Elizabeth Clark"
I bought this item to make my own sinus clearing concoction and it was just what I needed. The crystals dissolved in the camphor and eucalyptus and made a strong sinus clearing mix minus the deadly chemicals used in commercial brands. I use cotton facial pads layered with the menthol and then soaked with the camphor and eucalyptus oils in a small lidded container to avoid the oils evaporating so fast. Just NEVER use bare hands to sprinkle the menthol, wear gloves to avoid accidently ingesting it or getting it in your eyes.

By StretchiE Beast "-StretchiE"
EXTREMELY POTENT!! Use very little. I was using these for congestion in an inhailer and should have known better when the menthol took over the whole upstairs...but still I stuck my face in front of it and damn near burnt my nostrils away. Overall..they worked well!

A North Carolina couple received a magical surprise this week. A copy of J.K. Rowling's final Harry Potter book arrived in the mail.
An online retailer mistakenly shipped about 3,000 copies of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" several days too early.
Kevin and Charlene Jones are self-described Harry Potter fans, but not fanatics.
Kevin said, "I haven't camped out for any of them yet."
They pre-ordered a copy of J.K. Rowling's seventh and final book of the series from online retailer www.deepdiscount.com.
It doesn't officially go on sale until Saturday.
Kevin said, "I was kind of, sort of expecting to get it the day after."
Charlene said, "Suddenly on Tuesday it shows up in the mailbox! I haven't peeked ahead and looked at the ending."
Kevin's situation may seem magical, but the company who publishes this elusive book is offering up a bit of reality to some distributors.
Scholastic Inc. is taking "immediate legal action" against www.deepdiscount.com and another distributor.
Apparently Kevin's not the only one who got the book early in the mail by mistake.
The Jones think it's funny actually -- the hype and mania packed into the pages of a fictional book.
Kevin said, "I didn't think it was that big a deal."
But even they refuse to crack it open before Saturday. They've already been swept away in 3,440 pages of this tale and they want to soak up the last 784.
Charlene said, "I personally want to read the book page by page and savor it. I don't want to skip ahead."
Deepdiscount.com has contacted the Jones family and apologized for the mishap. To make amends the company is giving them a $50 gift certificate and a free Harry Potter T-shirt.

Have we got Nou for you Arsenal! Barcelona want Gael Clichy (and Cesc Fabregas)
Barcelona are plotting a raid on Arsenal this summer but their top target is Gael Clichy rather than Cesc Fabregas. Clichy impressed Nou Camp boss Pep Guardiola with two excellent performances against Barca in the Champions League quarter-final. Guardiola has identified the need for a left back as a greater priority than a central midfielder like Fabregas, although the issue is clouded by the club's presidential elections in the summer. Gael force: Barcelona could make a bid for Clichy in the summer Meetings were held between representatives of the two clubs whenthey clashed in the Champions League and Arsenal chairman PeterHill-Wood claimed the Catalans had made assurances that they would notmake a bid for Fabregas this summer. Barcelona distanced themselves from Hill-Wood's comments yesterday,when technical secretary Txiki Begiristain revealed: 'We never said wewill not try to sign Cesc Fabregas. We will see what happens.' Instead, Barca insisted they had only given Arsenal assurances thatif they do decide they want to buy their captain they will comedirectly to the club and not try to unsettle him via agents. No deal: Hill-Wood says Barca won't pursue Fabregas this summer It seems inevitable that, at some point, Barcelona will targetFabregas and the lure of the Nou Camp will prove too strong for aplayer who grew up supporting the club with Guardiola as his idol. But, as Hill-Wood also clumsily confessed, it is difficult to seehow the Arsenal skipper would get into a midfield nicely balanced withXavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets at the moment. Fabregas, 22, appears to have been earmarked as the naturalsuccessor to Xavi but the performances of the 30-year-old in recentmonths suggest he has plenty of years ahead at the top level before hethinks of stepping aside. Barcelona's leading presidential candidate Sandro Rosell haspromised to bring Fabregas back to the city of his birth, but preciselywhen that will be remains to be seen. Guardiola would prefer to focus the summer recruitment campaign on ahigh-calibre replacement for Thierry Henry, who looks set to leave,probably for the USA, and bolster his squad in other areas, includingleft back. The Barca boss sees Clichy as a left-sided version of Dani Alves, afull back capable of attacking fluently but with the engine to carryout his defensive duties. For Clichy, 24, it could provide the boost which propels him intothe France team, where he has struggled to get past Manchester United'sPatrice Evra and Barca's Eric Abidal. He has two years left on his Arsenal contract but Clichy has notbeen at his most consistent this season. His place may even have comeunder pressure from Kieran Gibbs had the England Under 21 defender notbroken his foot in November. Gibbs is close to a return but manager Arsene Wenger confirmedThomas Vermaelen, who injured a calf muscle at Tottenham on Wednesday,is expected to miss the rest of the season. 'It looks like three weeks and that means the season is over forhim,' said Wenger, who also revealed Denilson is doubtful for Sunday'sgame at Wigan. Robin van Persie, who looked in superb form when he came on at WhiteHart Lane on Wednesday after five months out injured, reported noproblems on his return. 'He came back very well,' said Wenger. 'It wasa massive gamble as he had not played but we'll see how he is andhopefully he will get a few games now.'

(Steve Conner/Icon SMI)Major League Soccer's parity resulted in five ties on Saturday, and four of the other five games were decided by a single goal. The one consistent theme so far this season has been Real Salt Lake's ability to get results, as RSL is still yet to lose a game.Dallas, recovering from Clint Dempsey's shellacking a week earlier, also got back into the win column. As for Dempsey, he played a part in two more goals for Seattle, setting up Obafemi Martins for the game-winner at Chivas USA to continue his hot streak.New York finally won its first game, leaving just four teams without a win: Chicago, Montreal, San Jose and Portland. Plenty of time remains for those teams to reverse their fortunes, but especially for the Timbers, the trend gets more worrying by the week.Here are the Planet Fútbol Power Rankings after seven weeks of play:MLS Power Rankings — Week 71. Real Salt Lake (3-0-4)Last week: 1Much as it did last year, RSL dominated Portland on Saturday, creating several good chances in the first half before a second-half onslaught produced a rare Ned Grabavoy goal. Nick Rimando, back from injury, had another spectacular performance on the other end to earn the home win.2. Sporting Kansas City (3-1-2)Last week: 3Matt Besler's long throw created Sporting's first two goals on Saturday, and Kansas City eventually buried Montreal, 4-0. Aurélien Collin had enough space against the lackluster Impact to get involved in the attack on three of those goals.3. FC Dallas (5-1-1)Last week: 4After conceding an early goal, Dallas had plenty of chances to take advantage of its home field, earning 16 corner kicks. Center back Matt Hedges carried the team to a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC, scoring the equalizer and assisting the winner, both with his head on set pieces.4. Columbus Crew (3-1-2)Last week: 2The comparisons between this year's Crew and last year's Portland Timbers are ripe, especially after the momentary defensive lapses in crucial situations of the last couple games. It took another special team goal, with Héctor Jiménez lashing home a long shot after Wil Trapp's pinpoint diagonal ball, to earn a point at home against lowly D.C.5. Seattle Sounders (4-2-1)Last week: 6Seattle has conceded goals on penalties in the last two weeks and three in the last four, but Clint Dempsey continued his scorching run of form in the 2-1 win over Chivas USA. The United States captain has scored or assisted in six straight regular-season games.6. Toronto FC (3-3-0)Last week: 5Despite being under constant pressure away from home, still with an injury-weakened lineup and in a tough place to play, Toronto nearly pulled out a point. In the end, set-piece defending did the Reds in against Dallas.7. L.A. Galaxy (2-1-2)Last week: 9L.A. was assertive from the start in Vancouver, but unlike last week in the same matchup, the Galaxy was stretched at the back a couple times and conceded in the 2-2 draw. Robbie Keane scored again, but his colleagues on the other end couldn't match his steady performance.8. Colorado Rapids (3-1-2)Last week: 7The Rapids mounted attack after attack against San Jose, controlling the game but failing to finish in the 0-0 draw. The final ball was missing all game despite Colorado's stranglehold in the midfield against a direct Earthquakes team.9. Philadelphia Union (1-2-5)Last week: 8Philadelphia is starting to show some frustration in attack, as a forward has yet to differentiate himself as the go-to man. That was obvious on Saturday against Houston, when the Union tried to go over the top all game to no avail in a 0-0 draw. Tim Cahill tackles Lloyd Sam after his goal gave the Red Bulls a 2-0 lead over Philadelphia en route to their first win of the season. (Mike Stobe/Getty Images)10. Houston Dynamo (2-3-1)Last week: 10Kofi Sarkodie's second yellow card for time-wasting may have been harsh, but Houston did well to pull out a point at PPL Park. Still, after a strong start to the season, the Dynamo hasn't put together a performance worthy of much praise since its first two games.11. New England Revolution (2-3-2)Last week: 11New England's attack continues to be a huge problem, minus a few counterattacking opportunities on Saturday in a 1-1 draw against Chicago. Goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth was the hero, saving a stoppage-time penalty to preserve the road point after Kevin Alston sacrificed himself with a handball on the goal line.12. Vancouver Whitecaps (2-2-3)Last week: 13The Whitecaps need to impose their style of play on the game that they showed in the first couple weeks of the game if they are to break into the top tier of MLS teams, rather than playing a reactive game, as they did in a comeback draw against L.A. on Saturday.13. New York Red Bulls (1-2-4)Last week: 14Tim Cahill's return in a 2-1 midweek win over Philadelphia was a big boost, but possibly losing Thierry Henry, who limped off at the end, to injury puts New York in the same position it was when Cahill was out. The Red Bulls are in a bit of an identity crisis right now, trying to figure out how to win without one or both of their big stars.14. Chivas USA (1-3-3)Last week: 12Chivas came out on the losing end of a game of mistakes against Seattle, with Cubo Torres taking advantage of an Osvaldo Alonso slip to score his league-leading sixth goal (tied with Dempsey). Unfortunately for the Goats, Dan Kennedy committed his own fatal error before the Sounders' Dempsey-Martins combination finished them off.15. D.C. United (2-2-2)Last week: 17D.C.'s game management ran out in the end against Columbus, conceding on a last-minute counterattack to prevent a third consecutive victory. Fabián Espíndola scored his second goal of the season early in the game to take a lead that D.C. couldn't hold despite Columbus going down a man.16. Chicago Fire (0-1-6)Last week: 15Quincy Amarikwa scored his fourth goal of the year, already giving a career high for a single season, against New England, but for the second time this year, the Fire missed a likely game-winning penalty in stoppage time. Chicago's six consecutive draws ties the MLS record for one-point results in a row.17. Portland Timbers (0-3-4)Last week: 16Despite what was probably Portland's best defensive game of the season, the Timbers lost by a single goal after another moment of lax defending on Saturday, its fifth conceded after the 76th minute. Donovan Ricketts hasn't been in the same form this year, and he hasn't been able to bail out his teammates as often as he did in 2013, when he won Goalkeeper of the Year.18. San Jose Earthquakes (0-2-3)Last week: 18After Alan Gordon hit the crossbar on the first possession in Colorado, San Jose was largely listless in attack. The fact J.J. Koval starts in midfield while Yannick Djaló comes off the bench is a strong indicator of the Earthquakes' stubbornness in their direct, physical-based attack.19. Montreal Impact (0-4-3)Last week: 19 Shocking defense in the second half against Kansas City led to Montreal being buried by the defending champions, 4-0. Head coach Frank Klopas showed his frustration by refusing to speak to media after the game, only issuing a short statement via the team's PR staff. Promoted Stories Comments

It's time to add Millennials to your Real Estate Prospecting Mix Since the end of the Great Recession, the market has slowly but surely started straggling back from the brink.

When you find a professional you like and trust, why go anywhere else? Noting that many people have a family doctor and a family dentist who get to know them over the years, Century 21's William May asserts that it is time for clients to think of their real estate agents in the same way.
If South Florida real estate agent Lee Rosa sounds overly dramatic about his Real Estate Dialer, you'll have to forgive him. He still vividly recalls the clumsy days of dialing prospects by hand.
"You know that scene in 'Pulp Fiction' where they open the suitcase and there's a shining bright light? Well, Mojo spoke to me. Everything came together at that moment," recalls Rosa, of RGT Real Estate Services, a Keller Williams affiliate serving Broward, Dade and Palm Beach counties. "When I first started, I used to have two phone lines with two headsets and I'd cross names off my list with different color highlighters in each hand."
Overcoming Call Reluctance As strange as it sounds, when Georgia real estate agent Allen Smith first tried prospecting, he refused to pick up the phone. "I've never met a stranger face to face," says Allen, who joined the Keller Williams West Cobb office (suburban Atlanta) last November. "I'll strike up a conversation with anyone. Most

Review: Takes lets you to turn photos into montage videos
Take photos and create a montage video with a few easy steps.
The premise of Takes is very basic. Take a handful of photos, add them to the timeline, and create a video with a soundtrack in the background of your photos. It takes only a few minutes to create these short videos and they can be instantly shared to your Facebook or Twitter accounts. With so many photo and video sharing apps on the App Store already, how does Takes stack up?
When you first open Takes, you are given a short tutorial. With only four screens, the tutorial manages to show you every feature you'll need. Because the app boils everything down into an elementary, streamlined process that can be performed with only a few quick taps, it is immediately accessible. It has more robust features, however, including importing photos from your photo library or Facebook account and you can choose which photos end up in your video, as well as the soundtrack playing in the background and the captions displayed. There is also a list of popular Takes in recent days and if your friends are connected on Facebook, you can view theirs directly from the app.
Takes is a unique video creation tool that takes very little time to pick up and use and that integrates perfectly with a number of different social networking services. This makes it a potentially popular service. Small videos, easy to share, and quick to edit and upload, Takes work as advertised. While additional features for editing and customizing the flow and look of those videos would be welcome in future editions, this is a good early effort.

What on earth is happening??
OK Here is my story. A couple of weeks ago my husband purchased a random bag of seed at the local hardware store - I knew I should have gone with him - to try and cover up a couple of small light brown spots on our lawn. I am not sure what type of grass we have here in Massachusetts. And we basically only mow our lawn every couple of weeks. We do not fertilize or water, and we just want to blend in with all the other neighbors. Anyway, he watered it every day and after about 4 days white grass started to grow. I figured it would eventually turn green but instead it seemed like it was killing all the other grass around it. In the past few days or so these strange weird dark brown paths of dirt have appeared (see photo) with even more white grass around them. We have 4 large stretches like that around our yard. It seems like the recent rain we are having has made it worse, too. Do we have some sort of fungus? And what the heck can we do about it? People are slowly driving by our house and pointing! Thanks in advance.
Did your husband purchase a starter fertilizer also by chance? That looks like tenacity whitening which is a chemical herbicide in a scotts brand starter fert. It whitens weeds before they die, it can can also whiten grass but usually recovers. I'm not not sure about the brown spots, but seeding in July is probably the worst time to do it unless your an expert renovater. Fall is best. Did he spread the fert in just that spot where the brown and white are? I'm not sure how much "actual" grass you have there, looks like an epic crabgrass infestation and some other weeds also, but not sure-Might need some more close up pics to tell.
Thanks for your reply. Well it's darn funny that you should ask if my husband also purchased a starter fertilizer because after asking him a couple of minutes ago he fessed up and said that he did purchase a bag of Scotts. Good eye! He wanted to try and make it right without telling me so he bought a bag of starter seed. As you can see neither one of us really knows much about lawn care. I am also posting a closer picture of the problem. He spread the seed mostly in the brown spots - and we have many more ugly plain empty dark brown spots than are in that picture - but I'll bet he emptied the rest of the bag all over the lawn. And we do not have hardly any "actual" grass in the brown spots. He mowed the lawn and spread some of the remains in the spots to try and make them look better. Oh boy Is there something we can purchase to fix this problem?
If you're not going to water, mow, or fertilize, it's hard to get real excited about fixing your lawn. This forum is mostly about proper watering, mowing, and fertilizing with a few other odd topics thrown in. But if you're not going to help yourself, it's hard for us to help you.
Well, gee, dchall_san_antonio, that's kind of mean of you to say that and you make me feel bad for writing. I thought this forum is for helping people and I wouldn't have written if I didn't need help. Of course I want to help myself. I think that's such a strange thing for you to say. We take pride in our home and we do what we are able to with what we have. Our yard is always neat and clean with some nice flowering plants and trees, and we certainly do mow it often enough, but we don't have a lot of money for watering and fertilizer. But we want it to look decent and not be an eyesore in any way. Now it is an eyesore and I am hoping that someone can please help me get our lawn back to normal.
cah1151- it's good that you reached out for help; after all we've all done things to our flowers, lawns, etc without realizing that something's not right until it's too late. I don't know how to tell you to fix it but watering seems to be of importance since it's the middle of July. I hope someone comes along with some advice and good luck with your lawn:-)
Perhaps you are thinking lawn care is harder than it is.
Basics of Lawn Care
After reading numerous books and magazines on lawn care, caring for lawns at seven houses in my life, and reading numerous forums where real people write in to discuss their successes and failures, I have decided to side with the real people and dispense with the book and magazine authors. I don't know what star their planet rotates around but it's not mine. With that in mind, here is the collected wisdom of the Internet savvy homeowners and lawn care professionals summarized in a few words. If you follow the advice here you will have conquered at least 50% of all lawn problems. Once you have these three elements mastered, then you can worry about weeds (if you have any), dog spots, and striping your lawn. But if you are not doing these three things, they will be the first three things suggested for you to correct.
Water deeply and infrequently. Deeply means at least an inch in every zone, all at once. Infrequently means monthly during the cool months and no more than weekly during the hottest part of summer. Do not spread this out and water for 10 minutes every day. If your grass looks dry before the month/week is up, water longer next time. If that does not work, then you might have to water more than once per week during the summer's hottest period. Deep watering grows deep, drought resistant roots. Infrequent watering allows the top layer of soil to dry completely which kills off many shallow rooted weeds.
You will have to learn to judge when to water your own lawn. If you live in El Paso your watering will be different than if you live in Vermont. Adjust your watering to your type of grass, temperature, humidity, wind, and soil type. It is worth noting that this technique is used successfully by professionals in Phoenix, so...just sayin.' The other factors make a difference. If you normally water 1 inch per week and you get 1/2 inch of rain, then adjust and water only 1/2 inch that week.
Every week mulch mow at the highest setting on your mower. Most grasses are the most dense when mowed tall. However, bermuda, centipede, and bent grasses will become the most dense when they are mowed at the lowest setting on your mower. In fact there are special mowers that can mow these grasses down to 1/16 inch. Dense grass shades out weeds, keeps the soil cooler, and uses less water than thin grass. Tall grass can feed the deep roots you developed in #1 above. Tall grass does not grow faster than short grass nor does it look shaggy sooner. Once all your grass is at the same height, tall grass just looks plush.
Fertilize regularly. I fertilize 5 times per year using organic fertilizer. Which fertilizer you use is much less important than numbers 1 and 2 above. Follow the directions on the bag and do not overdo it. Too much is better than too little*.
At this point you do not have to worry about weed and feed products - remember at this point you are just trying to grow grass, not perfect it. Besides once you are doing these three things correctly, your weed problems should go away without herbicide.
* This used to read, "Too little is better than too much." Recent test results show that you cannot get too much organic fertilizer unless you bury the grass in it.
Thank you, surya55, for such a nice note. And for being so understanding.
And dchall_san_antonio, I honestly do not think lawn care is harder than it is. I do appreciate your basics and your collected wisdom, although nothing I read surprised me. I know we mow as often as we should and as needed. We don't water because our water bill is extremely high and we would rather shower than use it on our lawn. Fortunately we have rain at least once a week which pretty much takes care of that and keeps everything green. And we have fertilized in the past with some help and would not rule that out in the future. BUT the problem here is not what to do to maintain our lawn, it's what can we do to fix the unsightly problem we have now. Can you help me figure out what is happening to our lawn and what we need to do to fix it?
I am by no means a lawn expert but I can safely say that you planted new grass seed at probably the worst time of year. Living in MA, I know from experience
You needed to water that area briefly four or five times a day to even have a remote chance of having any sprouts. And even then, our hot temperatures would be working against you as well. I am thinking that what you are seeing is maybe a bit of grass but also crab grass or some other weed.
Wait until Labor day weekend and rake up the dead area and plant grass seed along with a thin layer of topsoil. be sure to keep the area moist all day long for a couple of weeks. You will be amazed at how quickly grass can grow in the fall.
cah1151 - I just wanted to butt in as an independent observer and say that while dchall might have been a little blunt, you have to realize how passionate he is about proper lawn care. He is a font of knowledge and shares it willingly here for free. So, I would chalk it up to the written word. Things come across in print differently than when speaking. What you wrote looks a little like going to the doctor and saying, "I'm not going to quit smoking but I've got lung cancer. What can you do to fix it?" I KNOW you meant nothing of the sort, but "no water, no fertilizer' means permanently stressed lawn.
I understand why he said what he said, and I understand why you were insulted by it. Hopefully it can be written off as a misunderstanding. You never know, the nicer your lawn gets, the more interest you may have in making it even nicer!
Ask Morpheus how many times he has watered his lawn this year. Then understand that eastern weather systems tend to be large, and a lot of people are getting the same conditions.
It did not rain yesterday. It isn't supposed to rain today, but I'm looking at a black cloud that will probably turn into today's thunderstorm. The question isn't if things are getting enough water. The question is how do you turn it off.
You may want to take the time over the next few weeks to rake out the grass that you currently have, rent a power rake from one of the big box stores or rental centers, or if you don't have a lot of lawn, buy a thatch rake and do it by hand. Get all the "junk" out of your grass that you can.
Then go ahead and buy the seed and straw / cellulose mulch and wait until late August. Rake up the brown spots again, spread your seed evenly, apply starter fertilizer according to directions on the bag and apply the mulch. Water 2x a day either sprinklers or mother nature, just keep it damp for a week or so.
You can overseed the other parts of the lawn if you wish at the same time - just mow it low before you start. There are plenty of lawn renovation posts on this site to help you out. Good luck.
>>Ask Morpheus how many times he has watered his lawn this year.
Twice. I'm actually battling fungus at the moment (not very hard as it's not very aggressive on my lawn...now look at the neighbors'). It's rained every day for the last seven. Now we get a two day break before it starts up again.
>>The question is how do you turn it off.
Oh, dear heart, you have that one exactly correct.
Proper watering is actually critically important to lawn health. Nature has been anything but proper this year in these here parts. I've never seen diseases run rampant like this.
As I think about it, I tend to modify the watering rule a little bit for those who are unconcerned about lawn green-ness during the (normally) dry, hot days of summer.
Water weekly from the season's start to July 4th if nature isn't keeping up with it. Do the same after Labor Day until the temperatures drop and water requirements drop accordingly.
Between the two? I don't care if you water at all. Bluegrass will happily go dormant, fescues will survive on very little water in the summer, as will rye. With fescue/rye lawns, expect some losses. Losses should be minimal to zero on bluegrass.
Yes, it's smart to supply 1/4" every 2 weeks if nature doesn't, but for me it usually would.
Perfect call, Greencarpet. That's Tenacity damage! You nailed it. As for the 'brown spots' near the pavement, we could use a couple of close-ups. I've got some good guesses, but I hate to guess in this business! The wrong info makes for long weekends!
Well the earth mystery has been solved! This afternoon we had a very well-known reputable lawn company come by to access our situation. Two men got out of their truck, walked over to our worst area and said, "Wow, that's bad." They said we have a terrible case of something called pythium blight. I haven't had the chance to read much about it yet but I will. And the reason that it is all over the yard is because it was spread with our lawn mower blades. The company is going to put a fungicide on our lawn plus do some other things in stages - including aeration - over the next few months. We get a lot of sun, the weather has been very humid, we have had a lot of rain, plus my husband watered the heck out of everything when it wasn't raining. And mowed the lawn at the wrong time. Aaargh Not a good thing. Live and learn. I want to thank everyone who has written to me with their thoughts and ideas. I truly appreciate it.
I agree the newly seeded area probably did get taken out by pythium. However, please get your lawn care company to identify what perennial grasses you have in your lawn and double check their answers. You don't need a fungicide on crabgrass,which is what most of your yard looks like to me, nor do you need to aerify it until your ready to reseed.
It seems like the OP is satisfied that her problem is resolved. I hope she returns to the forum eventually to learn how to care for a lawn. I admit a little knowledge is dangerous (and I have a little knowledge), but I'm also experienced enough to know that the lawn companies, even the reputable ones, will do things to the lawn that aren't necessary, but cost the homeowner money. A little knowledge and a little effort to learn can save a lot of cash -- probably more cash would be saved than the cost to irrigate the lawn correctly, which was the OP's complaint early on.
Case in point: The landscaper who regraded and seeded my property came to me to see if I wanted his company to maintain my property - leaf blowing, lawn care, and so on. I asked him a few questions, including whether it was a good idea to fertilize in the fall. He kind of shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can if you want to."
Case 2 in point: My neighbor is the largest landscaper/designer in the whole area - huge staff, very professional operation. He dug up an 8x35' section of his front lawn (bordering my lawn) in the process in installing a pool in the back yard (heavy equipment going to the back yard ruined the lawn). He sodded the dug up area in May (KBG). He let it all die and then replaced it with the blown type seed (not sod). He let that all die in June after half of it germinated and then last week, the second week in JULY, he puts down sod AGAIN. Amazingly he has underground irrigation and actually used it the first day he put the sod down. That was last Saturday, exactly a week ago and I have yet to see the irrigation system kick on again. Two days ago they mowed the lawn to no more than 2 inches, and even scalped parts of the sod (yes, they ran over newly laid sod with one of those commercial mowers). So as I look out the window I'd say half the sod is brown and the other half is looking stressed.
He told me they used his property to advertise their business. He just didn't tell me they were advertising what NOT to do. Go figure...
if that is pythium, or damping off, then dchall_san_antonio, he's your friend.
look up corn, or tricodermas, and dchall_san_antonio on these forums, check organic lawn care forum also.
cracked corn , at 20 lbs / 1000 sq ft, and a week or two will stop or slow your detrimental fungi.
I've turned around playing fields doing this.
And what you pay for corn and some time spreading it will be far less than the landscaper options / dependancies

Wedding: 10/3/2014
We used expert productions for steel drums up lighting photo booth and Dj. Let me tell you they were by far the BEST vendor we had. I spoke to Joe originally about being the Dj for our wedding and instantly connect with his vivacious personality! He's electric! The whole team is amazing even his wife helped pick out our up lighting. I worked with Dawn emailing back and forth to get all the details worked out and she was awesome with quick responses and so sweet! Not only does expert production have a wonderful team they truly do great work that plays out for you during your wedding! Thanks you expert productions! You will definitely be recommended to everyone planning a wedding from the Coleman's :)
Wedding: 6/1/2014
We had the pleasure of working with Joe, his wife and Dawn, they were all wonderful and made planning fun and easy. Joe's personality and experience was outstanding! Dawn was tremendous with everything and answered my husbands million questions with excitement and ease! Joe's wife did our up-lighting which looked fantastic. Joe played the steel drums at our cocktail hour and was also our DJ for the reception. Everything was wonderful, they are extremely experienced and offer great suggestions. Everyone had so much fun at our wedding and still talk about it, Joe and his team were a big part of that. Everyone was up and dancing the whole night. We even extended the reception one extra hour because everyone was having such a great time! They are extremely reasonably priced and certainly deliver. Stop researching and just book Expert Productions, you will not be disappointed!
Wedding: 5/10/2014
We used expert productions for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Joe did an amazing job!! We had steel drum before the ceremony and throughout the cocktail hour and DJ for the reception. The music selection was fantastic. Volume was at perfect level. Everyone had a blast the entire night. Would highly recommend Expert productions for wedding and reception music.
Wedding: 3/16/2014
Everyone had an absolute blast at our wedding thanks to our awesome DJ! The dance floor was packed the whole night. We also booked a fantastic videographer, beautiful up lighting, and fun steel drums through expert productions. We could not have been more happy with this company!
Wedding: 1/11/2014
I hired Joe to play steel drum for my cocktail hour. Everyone loved him!! He took requests and really made everyone happy even though it had rained on our ceremony! I would have no problem hiring Joe again for an event.
Wedding: 1/3/2014
Uplighting looked great. DJ was great. Steel drums were great. We had an amazing time! We wanted to have a good party and the whole team delivered! Couldn't be happier!
Wedding: 11/16/2013
Such an amazing group of people to work with! Hands down the most efficient and caring vendors we dealt with our entire wedding, we couldn't have asked for better care. The DJ, Josh, was a perfect mix for us and kept everyone dancing. Definitely THE company to work with!!!
Wedding: 9/27/2013
This company came highly recommended to us by a few people. After talking with Dawn we knew this was who to go with. Prior to the wedding we were told Josh would be our Dj (he was on our preferred list as we were told he was amazing). We sent him our list of songs an type of music to be played and boy did he deliver. The ceremony music was perfect and he started the songs exactly at the points we requested without a hitch. The reception was non-stop. My guests seriously never sat down. Transitions between dancing and the wedding events were seamless and he kept the energy going. The company also provided up-lighting for our reception room which was beautiful.
People always say it the little things that matter and they do...Josh showed up wearing the same color scheme as the wedding....Loved it!
Wedding: 10/4/2013
I first found this company as a photo booth provider. From there I discovered their multitude of services. I live in California and planned my St Pete Beach wedding from afar. I spent one weekend in town interviewing vendors and was relieved to find that Joe could also provide steel drums for cocktail hour, DJ, and video. And they did NOT disappoint! Absolutely every service was perfection! Dawn works in the office and is such a pleasure to work with. In a way it was sad to see the wedding end because I've developed such wonderful friendships with so many people, especially Dawn. Another impressive quality with Joe Lorenzo is that his team worked amazingly well with all of my other vendors. I had 100 guests and every single one said my wedding was without a doubt the best wedding they've ever been to! Joe was on steel drums during cocktail hour and warmed up the crowd. He and his son worked the DJ and made sure every guest got on the dance floor! He was great about letting me add my own creativity, so it wasn't a cookie cutter wedding. Pam was on video and was super flexible and friendly. The photo booth girls were great too! EVERYONE was great! This team made my wedding unforgettable and perfect!
Wedding: 9/8/2013
I used Expert for our DJ, steel drums for the cermony, videography, and our Photo booth. They are professional, knowledgable, and friendly. I highly recommend them!
Wedding: 6/24/2013
These guys care about you and making your day special! I can't tell you how many times I emailed them back and forth to get all of the little details worked out! Not to mention Joe plays the steel drums like a natural!! I couldn't have asked for a better steel drum and DJ!! So easy to work with and everything went as planned, fun crew to work with!
Wedding: 6/29/2013
Joe's steel drum playing during the ceremony and cocktail hour went great with our beach wedding theme.
He kept the ceremony on track for a great night of fun by His music selections. He followed our requests perfectly. We loved that he wasn't afraid to turn off a song that cleared the dance floor.
If you are looking for a DJ to provide lots of entertainment at your wedding, Joe is your guy.
Wedding: 6/12/2013
I was lucky to find this DJ because I wanted to walk down the aisle to steel drums and then have the DJ play music for the reception and the music couldn't have gone more smoothly. He stuck to the instructions that were given to him by us prior to the event and it was very courteous, making sure to play the music that we had requested for the evening.
Wedding: 4/12/2013
I used Expert Productions for my DJ, steel drummer and videographer. I cannot say enough positive things about this company. First of all they are very professional and very pleasant to deal with. Josh was my DJ and he made my wedding AMAZING! He really kept the party going and made sure everything ran smoothly! The steel drummer was a nice touch and I am so happy I went that route for my beach wedding. Pam, the videographer, did an amazing job capturing our entire evening in such an artistic way, something I will cherish forever!
Wedding: 5/18/2013
Expert Productions did a wonderful time with my uplighting and was very accomodating. Thanks Expert Productions!
Wedding: 5/4/2013
What a fantastic company to work with for your wedding. From the minute we went looking for DJ companies, to the very day we got married Josh & Johnny from Expert Productions were fantastic! Being from NH I was a little nervous but they were prompt in response times in emails or phonecalls and were always there to answer any questions we had. It was a wonderfu surprise to come back from our wedding to receive an email from Dawn with an audio recording of our entire ceremony- recorded by Josh (our DJ). Johnny our steel drum musician did a wonderful job learning a new song specifically for me to walk down the aisle too- meant a lot to us.
No hesitations here in recommending this company to anyone searching for a DJ, steel drum musician or just a great company!
Wedding: 4/26/2013
We could not be more pleased with the job that Joe and his staff did for us on your wedding day. He did a wonderful job and kept everyone on the dance floor! Thank you again!!!
Wedding: 4/13/2013
Josh from Expert Productions was our DJ, and his timing of each song was impeccable! He knew just when was a good time to cut the cake, throw the bouquet, etc., and managed to get even the grandmas out on the dance floor! It was fantastic, and our party was still going strong when the reception ended and guests just carried on over to the bar at the hotel. Highly recommend him!

Rep. Paul Ryan's Budget Plan Aims To Cut $5 Trillion In 10 Years
Tuesday, April 1, 2014
(Washington, DC) -- House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan is out with his new budget plan, which aims to cut federal spending by five-trillion dollars over the next ten years. Nearly half of the cuts would come from dismantling Obamacare. It also calls for increased defense spending. The House Budget Committee is expected to pass the plan, but it's not clear whether it would gather enough support to pass the full House. If it does, it will likely be dead on arrival in the Senate.

2009 Audi Q5 3.2 Quattro Premium
The Q5 Has Exceeded Our Expectation — We LOVE this vehicle. It is so solid. What a great engine and suspension. The car feels tight and responsive. I have so many great things I could say about this vehicle. It's a perfect size which is important with a young child.

ProsVersatility, spaciousness, torque, fuel consumption, quality ConsLag at take off
Audi Q5 — This is a 2.0L TDI (diesel) model. There is unfortunately a bit of a lag at take-off, but thereafter has plenty of torque. Overtaking or going uphill is a breeze. The fuel consumption is averaging about 10L/100km, which is a lot more that the "official" figure of 6.8. For a compact SUV it is quite spacious and very comfortable front and back. The trim and fitting quality is excellent. The MMI and satellite navigation is a bit fiddly but graphics are fantastic. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2009 Audi Q5
ProsEverything. Consnone
2009 Audi Q5 3.2 Quattro Premium
ProsSmooth ride, silky powertrain, solid handling, beautiful styling ConsPrice with options, could use more torque
Audi A5 — The Q5 is a fantastic little crossover. The 270 hp 3.2L V6 offers solid performance. It's a very docile motor around town, but at 3.5k RPM it starts to really move the Q5 down the road. The 6 speed auto is pretty responsive and never upshifts prematurely. And of course there is always Tiptronic if you want to shift on your own. Build quality is excellent, like any modern VW product. Ride is much smoother than the BMW X3 but it doesn't flounder in the corners like the Mercedes- Benz GLK-350. |

Babolat VS Control (Racket)
TW Staff, I know this is a long shot, but I remember you used to sell this racket a while back. I bought two but didn't like them, so I let my doubles partner try them. He LOVED them. I have looked everywhere for more because he cracked both of his on consecutive weeks and can't find any. I was wondering if you had any or knew where to get them. Me and my doubles partner are currently 42-3 and district is tomorrow (he can deal with my racket for now), but he will need some for regionals. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
We are out of stock of used demos, so no luck there. Try posting a want ad in the classified forum and I'll ask around TW to see if we have any old VS Control users. Chris, TW. |

After having ALL the trucks built in America, my friend M.C. convinced me to buy a Toyota. This is my first "mini" truck and I am still getting used to it. I like it, but I only drove just over 2,000 miles. So far I miss my Ford's breaks and I'm still getting used to the automatic transmission. I wish it was less noisy at high speeds and more in the way of rear suspension. I have just retired and I promised myself not to get too excited any more.
I just went through the postings and read Jay's listing about geting his 2009 out of a dealer TSB and getting new springs. Is there a TSB for 2009?
Please let me know and take care,

As much as I love and admire Romero's zombie pictures... I may love Creepshow just a little bit more.
One of the rare horror anthologies with a sharp sense of storytelling and an intrinsic ability for irony and metaphor...
Genuinely creepy, satirical and occasionally daft horror tales with a distinctly moral bent.
George Romero, collaborating with writer Stephen King, again proves his adeptness at combining thrills with tongue-in-cheek humor.
All of the pieces of Creepshow come together in a smorgasbord of ghastly images, welcome humor, and solid, old-fashioned storytelling.
The segments are consistent in quality and the film is still effective and entertaining.
This horror omnibus tickles the funny bone while stripping it of its flesh, so that hysterical laughter comes as fast as the frights and as thick as the blood.
Unfortunately, it never quite gels.
This five-part film, based on the format of 50s horror comics, marks one of the few times George Romero has directed someone else's script (it's by Stephen King), and the results are only mildly interesting by the standards of his Dead trilogy.
he old Amicus movies used EC originals to better effect and with more brevity, for all their cardboard sets.
A wickedly funny horror anthology. Creepshow is a devilish delight, and the most entertaining film George Romero ever directed.
Romero and King have approached this movie with humor and affection, as well as with an appreciation of the macabre.
Colorful, amusing, and awfully simple - just like a comic book.
Horror film purists may object to the levity even though failed, as a lot of it is.
A horror anthology not without its grisly charms
Captures beautifully the spirit of classic EC Comics.
Moderately successful comic-bookish horror.
A darn good horror anthology, which is pretty darn rare.
Audience Reviews for Creepshow
Classic franchise written by Stephen King and directed by 'zombie' Romero, starring an all star old school line up including the legendary Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris, Don Keefer and Stephen King himself...some greats in there folks. The stories are basic but this may be down to the fact the franchise is based on the old 50/60's E.C. Comics.
Like the world class 'Twilight Zone' 'Tales from the Darkside' and 'Tales from the Crypt' Creepshow is an anthology of horror tales that aren't exactly 18 rated horror but just kooky fun that would fit your Halloween party perfectly. The stories vary from quite good to rather average to be honest with minimal gore.
The film is comicbook style with some lovely animations of 'The Creep' a hooded skeletal zombie who spins the tales with his nice cackling laugh. The stories also have a lot of toon imagery throughout which are suppose to give the impression of boarders within a comicbook, nice but not needed for me. The whole film is also bookended by a short tale like all these anthology films.
As for the actual tales they are a mixed bag to be honest, the first being a zombie returning from the grave to get his birthday cake he never received, this has Ed Harris (with hair!) and is reasonable but nothing too special. Second stars King as a dumb farmer who foolishly touches a meteorite that lands in his crops and slowly becomes infected and overgrown with a mysterious space fungus or plant life. This story is better and more original than the basic zombie story and shows King in a really goofy role for some reason.
Third story involves Nielsen as a rich jealous man who sets up a nasty fate for his unfaithful wife and her lover Ted Danson. Probably the nastiest short in the film with a horrible way to die but the fact Nielsen is the bad guy makes it hard to take seriously, half expecting George Kennedy to pop up at any moment.
Third story stars Holbrook and is a good simple creature tale as a crate containing a large furry razor teethed monster eats people who dare go to close to the crate. Lots of blood and some good fun 'Critter' type eatin in this one
Last story isn't too good in my opinion as a hypochondriac businessman lives in a hermetically sealed apartment terrified of bugs and germs, a story derived possibly from Howard Hughes and not very original with a predictable ending. Overall the stories could of been better but they do have charm and are still enjoyable.

"Five Jolting Tales of Horror"
Creepshow is a pretty good horror anthology. I still didn't like it that much, but it is one of the better efforts in the genre that I have seen. I liked two out of the five of stories, but the style of the whole film made up for the ones I didn't like. Also it had some great actors like Ed Harris, Leslie Nielsen and Hal Holbrook, which made it fun to watch, even when it shouldn't have been.
The first story is called "Fathers Day." I found this part to be bad, but watchable. That's a lot more then I can say for the second part, "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill." This segment is pretty much unwatchable. It had the stupidest story, not to mention Stephen King acting. I like the guy; I love his books, but Jesus, he is not an actor. The third is by far the best. It is called "Something to Tide You Over." If features Leslie Nielsen and Ted Danson. The fourth is my second favorite and the only other one I really liked. It is called "The Crate" and it probably has the most interesting sequences, even though the monster looks horrible. The fifth was another bad one; "Something's Creeping Up On You." This is probably the second worst, but not so bad you won't watch the last ten minutes. Had the second part been the fifth; I would have turned it off 5 minutes in.�
I wanted to like this much more then I did. It's directed by George A. Romero and written by Stephen King. I love them both, but this wasn't their best work. Still, it's much more ambitious and well made then most of the crap that fills up the horror anthology genre.�
Super Reviewer
My favourite horror anthology by far, a movie format I've never really taken to, but this series of five shorts are very fun and enjoyable and I loved the comic-book style editing. Each segment is quite varied from the next and consist of zombies, infectious meteors, arctic beasts and bothersome cockroaches. It's one of the stand-out horrors of the 80s and with talent like George Romero, Stephen King and Tom Savini involved you'd expect something special.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Creepshow has got to be one of the best, most original Horror anthologies ever made. Directed by Zombie pioneer George A Romero and written by Stephen King, these horror maestro's conjure up five awesome tales of horror. The thing that is obvious about Creepshow and is the thing that really stands out for me is the fact that its an homage to the old school comics of the 1950's. The film has that amusing B movie flair which is very enjoyable and original. Not only is this film entertaining and enjoyable, but the cast of terrifictalent makes this a truly unique film to watch. The cast do a fine job, and aside from his standard zombie masterworks, Romero has crafted a truly terrific film that is a must see for horror fans. Creepshow is almost as good as Romero's standard zombie films. The film combines old school horror with bits of humour. At times the film ventures into sci fi territory which adds something unique to the mix of original stories presented here. Tom Savini handles the special effects and he yet again delivers something effectively grisly. Creepshow is one awesome horror that will appeal to the King and Romero fans everywhere. The stories here are scary, often comical but never dull. This makes for very interesting and fun viewing on halloween. This film is only rivaled by Michael Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat.

A very nice hotel, quite suitable for the elegant traveler. Should you dine at Oro, be prepared to serve yourself. The staff must be too busy polishing off their PHd. They seem to wish to be somewhere else (certainly anywhere but in the restaurant.) Ive dined there a half dozen times in the last two or three months and found that if I want a drink, I should visit the bar. Yes, get up from your table, go to the bartender and order your drink, wait for it to be made, then take it back to your seat. Some time after that, get up, go to the manager and ask for your bill.
