BUFORD - Before he ever strapped on his first pair of shoulder pads, Cody Getz heard that he was too small to play football.
I probably saw the most exciting high school football game of my life last Friday night at The Brickyard.
A little over an hour south of Atlanta sits a venue, visible from I-75, known as the Macon Coliseum.
Chestatee Lady War Eagles
Despite getting double-digit performances from four players, the Riverside Military Eagles were unable to comeback and beat North Cobb Christian on Saturday in Ackworth.
TOCCOA -- In the Flowery Branch football program, the offense is known as the "Air Raid" and the defense as the "Black Swarm."
JEFFERSON -- The Jefferson High football team kicked off the state playoffs with a 31-14 victory over Coosa on Friday night at Jefferson Memorial Stadium.
The Dragons' offense was bogged down for most of the first half, but they rebounded in the second half to advance to the second round against Lovett at 7:30 p.m. next Friday.
Riverside Military's first trip to the GHSA state playoffs ended with a 38-10 loss to Pepperell on Friday night in Lindale.
The Banks County High football team fell in the first round of the Class AA state playoffs to Calhoun 63-0 on Friday night in Calhoun.
Commerce High's 12th consecutive trip to the state playoffs ended with a 21-7 loss to Wilkinson County on Friday night in Irwinton.
Seventeen area runners were recognized in the Region 8-AA All-Region Cross Country Teams released Friday.

Banks County Lady Leopards
BUFORD - When Buford High won its Class AA state title in 2007, Cody Getz took the time to celebrate by wearing his state championship ring a few times. Then it was time to put that memorabilia back in its case and tuck it away in his room.

When the offense is clicking, there's little opposing defenses can do to stop the Gainesville Red Elephants.
North Hall coach Bob Christmas spoke the words that were at the tip of everyone's tongue after its 10-9 win over Hart County in the first round of Friday's state playoffs at The Brickyard.
Some of Hall County and Northeast Georgia's dynamic high school basketball stars will join forces with players from the rest of the state Saturday in Savannah. Games featuring the top juniors and seniors for boys and girls are slated for the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association All-Star Games at Savannah State University.
The Chestatee boys golf team won two tournaments this week.
Mario Mays hasn't forgotten his hometown.
Corbin Lewallen drove in two of three runs for North Hall in a 3-2 win over White County on Wednesday in Cleveland.
Caleb Whitenton grinned as he watched his Gainesville teammates run sprints across Ivey-Watson Field following Wednesday's 10-0 shutout over Heritage High.
One said he trains for the situation everyday. The other said he "called " that he would make the shot that would save his team from its first loss of the season.
OAKWOOD - Madeline McCarthy wants to be a difference maker for the Flowery Branch girls soccer program. On a roster ripe with youth, the Lady Falcons' senior midfielder sees it as her place to bring a little energy to the pitch as they get ready for the main stretch of games in Region 8-AAAAA.
Samuel Palmer netted four goals to lead the Riverside Military Academy soccer team to an 8-0 win against Strong Rock Christian on Tuesday in Locust Grove.
Starting pitcher Trevor Roof got Flowery Branch off to an ideal start in Region 8-AAAAA. On Monday, he needed just 45 pitches for the Falcons (6-1, 1-0) to take down Cedar Shoals 15-0 in three innings at the Hog Mountain Sports Complex.

Boston Chicken has also hired help that can make change for a dollar without consulting the boss. There is a bewildering number of meal deals and combinations--you'd have to sit there with a computer for 20 minutes to determine your best financial course. The counter people reconfigured my complex order and saved me a buck.
Despite appearances, Boston Chicken is not a health-food parlor. Look out for tons of salt, cream and sugar hidden in the side orders. But in the corporate-fast-food-taste sweepstakes, this place has surged past the competition.
Small wonder management has been aggressively expanding. Two years ago, there were 37 units; there are about 200 now, mostly franchises, and the company expects to double that number by the end of 1994. Boston Chicken is located on the northeast corner at the intersection of 19th Avenue and Northern. Call 944-7000.

I am a fashion designer who works and lives in downtown New York city
Chelsea has completed online and offline ID verification.
We were visiting New York to see our adult children who both had major art events during our stay. We love the East Village and Chelsea's place was convenient for our visit. The apartment is very large for this area of NY and has a good kitchen. Having a dining room table and two couches is so unusual in a city rental and we were able to enjoy being together as a family rather than eating out all week. Chelsea was a great communicator and worked with us before and during the stay. She's lovely.
I had a great stay in Chelsea's apartment. The house was really clean and she even left a bottle of Cava and breakfast supplies. Great neighborhood, two blocks from St Marks. Would stay here again without hesitation.
Chelsea was a great communicator and flexible when our flight was cancelled because of weather. The place was clean and as described -- some of the furniture has been swapped out from the AirBnB pics, but it's still cute. The place is upgraded, so there is even central heat and modern appliances. We walked to Freemans for brunch, North China for dumplings, Doughnut Plant for the best donuts ever, Kossars for bialy, Katz deli for sandwiches, etc. We also spent a lot of time at the park across the street with our daughter, and the F subway line is literally steps from the door. Great neighborhood, great host, great place! We would absolutely stay here again!
Chelsea's apartment on Canal street was perfect for us! Walking distance to all the spots in the Lower East Side and shopping in SoHo. Chelsea was also very easy to deal with and her apartment was awesome. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone going to New York!
Neat apartment with a lovely and flexible hostess.
great apartment, cozy and very clean. Near al the places you want to hangout in the lower east side!
Hello! We stayed at the Chelsea appartment for the New Year. Chelsea thoroughly and promptly responded to the e-mail, appartment was as declared - clean and design. We all liked it. Highly recommended!
I would definitely recommend Chelsea's apartment. Her apartment is very clean and comfortable. If you are looking for an apartment with character, look no further. She has great taste and every piece of furniture in that apartment is unique. The apartment is big enough for three people. Chelsea was very easy to get in touch with and I had no issues collecting the keys from her. She had left us a hand written note welcoming us to her apartment which was very sweet.
Chelsea was great with keeping in contact and very accommodating in meeting us with the keys when we got in. The apartment is beautiful and clean, fantastic shower as well! The location couldn't be more perfect, less than a minute's walk from the tube and within 10 minutes walk of tons of restaurants. I would really recommend staying here on your trip to New York.
We absolutely loved Chelsea's apartment! It was very clean, very comfortable and in a great location! It was hot in NY during our stay but the air conditioning worked great so we were never hot in the apartment. The apartment is seconds from the subway and in a great location so we were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the weather. Chelsea responded to our request within a few hours and we had our stay booked and organised within 24 hours. Will definitely stay again!
Chelsea and her boyfriend were great guests. The communication was easy, they were nice, polite and very friendly. And they left the apartment spotless. I would definitely recommend them as guests.
Chelsey and her partner are the best guests we can have. I would recommend them as guests for any Airbnb host! They were very comunicative, clean, tidy and most importantly, respected the apartment. Thank you very much for choosing our apt. You're welcome back any time you like!!
Chelsea very nice, friendly and understanding.She left the apartment clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend as a guest.
Although I never got the chance to meet Chelsea in person, she was very easy to communicate with and left my place incredibly clean. She was very respectful and I'd recommend her to anyone.
We enjoyed having Chelsea Jean here and would welcome her back again. I can highly recommend this traveler to any owner.
I have known Chelsea for almost 10 years. She and I attended University together and moved to New York City around the same time. Chelsea is a laid back, easy going girl. As a fashion designer, she has a keen eye for good design - which is reflecting in the aesthetic of her apartment. She is incredibly organized and does not travel (or live) with chaos. As a traveler, Chelsea seeks out new/up and coming neighbourhoods, galleries and restaurants. You could easily consider her a foodie due to her adventurous palette. She is a reasonable and fair person and is both a great host and guest.
I've been lucky enough to have stayed at Chelsea's apartment a couple nights. It's always very clean and cozy. Perfect size for two lovebirds, or three best friends. Strolling distance to some of the best eats and coffee in the city without being on one of the loud streets.
Chelsea is the greatest host! Her apartment is in the most perfect location in the Lower East Side - not too loud, not too quiet, close enough to walk to every location you'd want to be at and there are so many transportation options as well. Her apartment was perfectly clean and had all of the amenities you could need! I would definitely stay there again!
I stayed in Chelsea's place this past September. Her place is quant, clean and perfect for 1 or 2 people who want to explore the coolest part of NYC-the lower east side. Walking distance to the best coffee shops, restaurants, bars and vintage shops. Soho is also within walking distance for more shopping, gyms and yoga studios. I love it LES and Chels' place is the prime location!

My curls cannot live without Eden BodyWorks Jojoba, SheaMoisture, and Briogeo--but Curl Junkie Daily Fix Cleansing Conditioner is my absolute go-to. Here's why.
When you grow up here and the kids call you "The little Red Sheep", you get an idea that naturally red curls are ugly and straight blonde hair is the most beautiful hair.
I was a long term transitioner until 2011, when I lost all of my hair while undergoing chemotherapy.
Are you protein sensitive? Then this oil is for you.
This oil is perfect for, well, just about everything.
The inspiration to start your own hair care brand is right here.
Increase your daily intake of green leafy veggies and decrease your intake of caffeinated drinks that increase the pitta dosha in your body--a leading cause of hair loss.

Patio furniture provides you with the perfect place to sit, whether you're having a quick cup of coffee or dining outside with your entire family. Here at Gardens and Homes Direct, we have a wide selection of garden patio sets in everything from rattan to aluminium to wood.
Many of our rattan suites are suitable for the conservatory as well as the patio, so they can serve a dual purpose. You can move them outside when the weather is good, or you can leave the weather resistant frames out there permanently, bringing out the cushions when necessary.
If you have a smaller garden, a three-piece bistro set can be a great solution, delivering fantastic style without occupying too much space, or why not go for a picnic table for a robust and informal seating spot.

Central location of hotel. The ambience of the hotel. The beauty of the place is unmatched elsewhere.
A bit expensive, but the food was awesome and the staff was great. We had some great rabbit and other wonderful food.
There is no question that this is a grand hotel and a grand setting for a restaurant, but grand doesn't translate to excellent without hard work by the staff. The menu was not terribly exciting, and some of the dishes not particularly well prepared. The service was mostly good, but not the uniform high level expected of a top class...
For an excellent meal in luxurious surroundings this is the place for you. Don't miss the prima piatti lobster ravoli, on the a la carte menu. This was the best meal we had in Stresa, which naturally comes at a price. Here you get what you pay for.
Italian Cuisine at its very best. Fantastic service fantastic view at affordable price. The clasic risotto al Safrano is a must. It is also relatively affordable for an establishment of this class.
Just went in to view this beautiful hotel, so charming and elegant. There was a wedding going on one evening and lots of people were just watching from the street it looked absolutely wonderful....One day !!!!!
Had two excellent dinners whilst staying at this hotel. Be prepared to pay top London prices but we felt it was worth it.
Service ambience etc were all up to the mark. Couldn't be faulted.
We went for a night from Milano. I really fell in love with the hotel. It's interior, while very well preserved, felt like from a different time. And service could not have been more attentive and friendly. It's an easy trip from Milano, first stop on the trains from Milano centrale towards Geneva or Basel. Then a 5 min walk...
The hotel had a lot of character and was a pleasure to stay at. There was little to fault. The accommodation was well appointed and the bathroom was a delight. The views from the balcony were great even given we did not have the best weather.
Breakfasts were well provided for and the service in the restaurant was efficient and...
We didn't stay here but walked thru the lobby etc and it, gorgeous , definitely worth a walk thru. I took several pictures of the elevator doors which are a work of art

Insight and opinions on our creative world
Remember Ethical Marketing Practices for Effectiveness
There has been a public outcry about the ethical practices of businesspeople.

Advertising practitioners, telemarketers, and car salespeople were thought to be […] [Read More]
You only have yourself to blame for bad creative
I have a hard time feeling bad for Groupon and their misguided Superbowl ad.

Groupon owns their Brand, its essence, and the way in […] [Read More]

The Red Sox currently are conducting their annual Rookie Development Program. The program typically includes some of the top prospects in the organization who the club believes could make their big league debuts in a 12- to 18-month time frame. Over the course of two weeks, the Sox will work to prepare the group of prospects for a potential call-up, giving the group an opportunity to work with members of the major league coaching staff, to work on strength and conditioning as well as fundamentals, and a chance to become familiar with such details as the layout of the clubhouse at Fenway Park.
Over the duration of the program, WEEI.com will profile some of the prospects taking part in the Rookie Development Program. Today: prospect Casey Kelly, the 2008 first-round draft pick who, after splitting 2009 between the mound and shortstop, decided in concert with the team in December to commit to pitching on a full-time basis.
It should have been the stuff of immense frustration. In late September, Royals pitcher Zack Greinke kept splashing zeros on the scoreboard against the Red Sox, making his opponents seem helpless. Yet for some Red Sox officials, the performance was intoxicating.
It was not merely the act of watching a masterpiece, though that had its appeal. Greinke was delivering a virtuoso performance, carving up the strike zone with a sophisticated array of pitches: high-90s heat, a Bugs Bunny curveball, a devastating slider and, for good measure, a changeup that further disrupted the timing of the Sox.
Yet somehow, the fact that Greinke permitted two hits in six shutout innings seemed filled with promise for the Sox, for one simple reason. It was the sort of performance, multiple members of the organization daydreamed, that Casey Kelly might deliver in the major leagues one day.
Kelly, in fact, views Greinke as something of a model for his own work on the mound. Like Kelly, the Royals ace exhibited tremendous athleticism in high school both as a pitcher and a position player (though whereas Kelly was a shortstop, Greinke was an outfielder).
Both Florida natives were so dominant on the mound, however, that their careers inevitably veered in that direction. Now, Kelly finds plenty to admire — and imitate — in Greinke's game.
"I just like the way he pitches," Kelly said. "He's an athlete on the mound. That's something I want to take away from how he pitches, and a Cy Young winner is not a bad guy to be watching.
"He's got a nice fluid motion. That's something that I try to do in my motion, also. His ability to throw strikes, to throw pitches in any count that he wants to, is pretty amazing. I can only hope that he gets to the level that he's at. That's what I'm working on now, trying to develop my pitches in different counts."
It would be wrong and unfair to suggest that Kelly at this early stage of his career can or should near Greinke's success. Greinke, of course, is much more advanced and refined than the Sox' top pitching prospect; that was also true of Greinke when he was 19 and exhibited singular dominance in the minors. Now, almost no one in the majors has the combination of command and devastating stuff as Greinke.
Even so, the fact that Kelly offers even faint echoes of the Kansas City ace speaks volumes about why he is so highly regarded. And multiple talent evaluators who have watched both pitchers suggest that there is some hint of Greinke in the Sox minor leaguer, particularly in Kelly's ability to repeat his delivery and release points. Those skills, in turn, allow Kely to manipulate the baseball and locate multiple pitches on both sides of the plate.
Those attributes were apparent in Kelly's startling first full professional season, at least on the mound. He amassed a 6-1 record and 1.12 ERA while striking out 39 and walking just nine for Single-A Greenville. Promoted after nine starts to High-A Salem, Kelly continued to deliver the goods.
Though he had a 1-4 with a 3.03 ERA in Salem, in some respects, he was more impressive. He gave up no hits or one hit in three of his first six starts in High A. He improved his strikeout-to-walk rate and lowered his walks per nine innings, a sign of his fearlessness once promoted to a higher level.
To put that High-A performance in context, Kelly and Royals prospect Mike Montgomery became the first Carolina League pitchers to record an ERA of 3.09 or better at the age of 19 (min. 46 innings) since Greinke went 11-1 with a 1.14 ERA at the level in 2003.
Kelly's build and performance have also earned some comparisons to Rick Porcello, another powerful, athletic right-hander. Porcello had a 2.66 ERA as a 19-year-old in 2008 in the High-A Florida State League before jumping straight to the majors and delivering a tremendous rookie season (14-9, 3.96 ERA) for the Tigers in 2009. Others suggested that his advanced command bore resemblance to a young Brad Radke, the longtime Twins ace.
That Kelly can exhibit similarities to that accomplished group says a great deal about why the organization is so excited for the 2008 first-round pick to commit full-time to pitching. He will define his own career path, of course, but the initial impressions have been nothing but positive.
In 2009, Kelly demonstrated a repertoire that was extremely advanced for his age and experience. He showed above-average command of a low-90s four-seam fastball and a two-seamer, using both effectively to both sides of the plate. He is similarly advanced in his ability to command his curve and changeup, both of which project as potential plus pitches.
"His curve, he hasn't had to go to it much because he usually has them swinging early in the count," Salem pitching coach Dick Such said during the season. "But he's got an exceptional curveball. The first time I saw it, these guys went crazy when I said, 'Well, hello darling.'
"Now I drop it on him when he throws an outstanding changeup. That's been an exceptional pitch for him here, because it looks like his fastball but he's got such a good feel for it, that's one of the reasons he hasn't had to depend on his breaking ball because his change has been so outstanding."
But as much as Kelly has impressed with the feel for his pitches, it is, more broadly, his feel for the game and his ability to know exactly what he is doing that has made an even greater impression on pitching coaches in the organization. He has an advanced understanding of execution, and has demonstrated remarkable concentration and focus on the mound.
That was most apparent in his second start with Salem, against Orioles top prospect Brian Matusz. Rain delays pushed the second game of a double-header to a starting time after midnight. Yet Kelly maintained his concentration and was locked in when he took the mound. He executed his gameplan — quite literally — to perfection over six innings when he didn't permit a baserunner.
"He gets it. He gets it," Sox pitching coach John Farrell said. "When you talk about concepts or you talk about situations on the mound, in-game situations, there's not a bewildered look. There's a response as he interprets it. He understands the conversation as you're trying to describe the situation, or the feel of a pitch as you're trying to execute it properly.
"His ability to communicate what his thought process is at times, whether a pre-pitch routine or what he does leading up to a game, is very genuine. It's very relaxed. For someone who's 20 years old, it's pretty darn advanced."
Those talent evaluators who believe that Kelly has been overhyped on the mound suggest that his fastball — currently a pitch in the low-90s — lacks the power of a top-of-the-rotation starter. There are those who believe that unless his fastball plays up, he may be more likely to end up being a back-end starter.
But, given that Kelly is 20 and the mental aptitude he has shown, the idea that he will continue to improve and develop is well within reason. Kelly clearly added muscle over the offseason to fill out his frame ("You always want to come in and show you're in good condition and you're always trying to earn a job," Kelly said). He now has a powerful pitcher's build that makes it easy to project a bump in velocity and overall stuff.
That said, Kelly has been around the game for long enough — his whole life, really, as the son of former major leaguer Pat Kelly, who has worked in player development for several teams — to understand that projectability does not guarantee results. The 20-year-old has thrown less than 100 innings as a pro. He must accomplish more before he can rightly think about the majors, let alone being the next Greinke.
But Kelly has shown enough in his limited exposure to professional pitching that he will be in major league camp with the Red Sox in spring training, and he will compete for a spot in the rotation of Double-A Portland. The Sox believe he has the capability to remain on the fast track. That is especially true now that he is committed solely to pitching, having concluded the one-year experiment of life split between pitching and playing shortstop.
"The criteria that we hold in terms of progressing players through the system, especially a starting pitcher, which is repeating your deliver, throwing your fastball to both sides of the plate and throwing your secondary pitches for strikes, Casey demonstrates a lot of those things already," farm director Mike Hazen said. "We feel pretty good that, if everything continues to progress, he could move pretty quickly."

A celebration of people and animation
So what is it about I Castelli Animati that makes it one of the most loved animation festivals in the world? The answer is simple... and evident from the first moments of arrival. It's the people.
So what is it about I Castelli Animati that makes it one of the most loved animation festivals in the world? The answer is simple... and evident from the first moments of arrival. It's the people.
I'm sitting here in the KLM lounge in Toronto waiting for my flight to Paris so I can make my connection to Rome where I'm on the jury of this year's I Castelli Animati.
For the first time on television, ABC Family will air a two-hour presentation of Walt Disney Pictures Presents "Pixar Short Films," featuring twenty animated Pixar shorts, as part of the network's annual *25 Days of Christmas* programming event (December 1-25).
The 10 animated shorts that will advance in the voting process for the 82nd Academy Awards were announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Watching someone trip on an uneven sidewalk may cause a quick laugh - but it's a different story when that person actually gets hurt from their mishap. A new animated film short from Acme Filmworks and The Responsibility Project captures the dangers - large and small - of street construction.
Go deeper into the Halo universe than ever before with Halo Legends, an all-new, CG and traditional anime PG-13 experience that presents enthralling new stories from one of the world's most popular video game franchises.
Here is some footage I took at the premiere of PETE'S ODYSSEY. It has the students, Michelle Armstrong singing and a snippet from PETE - shot off the screen.
The Producers Guild of America is set to give its 2010 David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Motion Pictures to John Lasseter, according to the LA TIMES.
In my humble opinion, the quality of the animated entries surpassed 2008. Perhaps it is the passion and vision of young student filmmakers that freshened the fare.
WHAT A NIGHT THAT WAS!!! An event we will remember for years. For me it was gratifying to see the students again. When you do a project like this you tend to form bonds with your co-workers.
OIAF is a huge event, with lots of activities in numerous venues. As the festival came to a close on Sunday night, it was a pleasure to be able to sink down into the seats of the ByTowne Theatre and watch the Best of the Fest – the award-winning animation shorts.
Exhibitors including Walt Disney, Rainmaker, Nelvana, Pipeline Studios, Starz and Studio B, as well as such schools as Algonquin College, Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, Sheridan College, Carleton University Interactive Media and Design, Vancouver Film School and Durham College made the AniMarket a huge part of Day 4.
OIAF's Chez Ani Café was transformed from a peaceful koffeeklatch to the crowded, boisterous AniMarket as throngs of job-hungry animators jostled to get in line and chat up recruiting companies.
The Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF) comes to an end with the highly anticipated closing ceremonies held this evening at the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau. Organizers announced the winners of the official competition during the ceremonies.
Coraline director Henry Selick and the annual Animator Picnic / Pumpkin Carving Contest highlight Day 3 at the Ottawa Animation Festival.
Only at OIAF can you get a chance to talk about the crazy Balloon Boy escapade with veteran Simpsons director David Silverman, and get to compare that incident with a Simpsons episode where prankster Bart pretends to be little Timmy, a boy who has fallen down a well. Happily, like Bart/Timmy, Balloon Boy was safe and sound the whole time.
The premiere of PETE'S ODYSSEY went extremely well last Friday night, October 9th at Bloomsfield College in New Jersey. It has taken me a week to come back to Earth and resume my daily tasks. Here's a "making of" video clip.
"The Simpson's Movie" director David Silverman spoke to a packed house on Day 2 of the Ottawa International Animation Festival.
Day 1 of the 2009 Ottawa International Animation Festival got off to a brisk start with the Television Animation Conference (TAC) plus 41°F weather.
The 20th annual Cartoon Forum took place September 22-25 in the beautiful town of Stavanger, Norway. Always marked by a convivial atmosphere, the event in this milestone year had an especially positive and cohesive vibe, with attendees seemingly enjoying simply being together to share their common enthusiasm.

water timer on hose...any reviews?
Solutions catalog just arrived and advertises a timer to attach between faucet and hose so you don't forget to turn off the water when doing a long soak sort of thing. I'm tempted to buy 3 or 4 (the number of faucets we have) because I don't want to forget I've got a slow drip on anything this summer. Has anyone tried this product? Seems like most faucet attachments eventually leak.
I have our main beds on drip; this would be for the out-lying shrubs.
I go thru' one of these about every year.... but it gets used daily and sits in the hot sun... daily. It waters the nursery/vegetable garden.
I've only ever had one that didn't work correctly, and if I'd had the receipt I'd have taken it back for a new one.
This year I got a digital one that seems to be working great.... at least it kept everything watered while we were gone for 10 days. I don't know about the one in Solutions, I get mine at OSH.... but they're NOT cheap.
We have a couple of these (from OSH) that we hook up to water grouped potted/hanging plants when we go away on vacations. For those long soaking times on specific plants, I use the microwave timer or a small kitchen timer. When it goes off, someone will yell "What's that for?", and I'll say "Water". Works here.
I have three of the simple mechanical type that can be set up to 3 hours. They work well and prevent my leaving a hose on for days at a time. Mine are from Lee Valley who has never refused taking back a product not performing to my expectations. Al
You could go one better than that. At our school system some gardens utilize a commercial-grade timer/valve from DIG that runs two years on 2 9V batteries and costs $90. It has a digital, programmable screen on a leash that is completely submersible. Combining it with a drip system using the commercial Bowsmith drip heads and self-flushing valves on the end of the drip lines means clogs and failures are a thing of the past, and it can go without maintenance for a year at a time. You can have the nicest system in the world for $200 and even teachers can install it. Automatic watering at schools is important as even the most dedicated classrooms forget to water sometimes or are off on vacation. Forget the Home Depot stuff; go to a commercial irrigation supplier. It is cheaper, better quality, and they have no problem selling to you. A failure on your irrigation resulting in dead plants or trees is no cheaper than a good system.
I use soaker hoses and because we live on the edge of the fog belt in coastal Northern CA, watering is dependent upon the weather. So I don't use the automatic timers because if it's cool enough we can go several weeks between soaking.
I've purchased several different kinds. I prefer a 3-hr spring dial, very simple. One type I got from OSH was too elaborate, it measures gallons of water (hour and minute markings are merely approximations) so when I first used it with a soaker hose I was taken aback that 1-1/2 hrs turned into 3 hrs instead!
No trouble with any of them for the last three years.
Thank you for all the suggestions. Babka, I love the microwave timer idea; you made me laugh out loud. Problem with it for me is that on summer days I'm often home alone and spend the whole day out in the yard. How'd you know I was a teacher, Applenut??? Just kidding.
I swear by these hose bib timers! Just love them. I have had excellent service from the Gardena brand timers. I have two, one for my front and one for the back yard. You can just set them and walk away. No more letting the hose run waaaaaay too long
Here is a link that might be useful: Gardena Timer
I use the microwave technique a lot around here too. ;)
I have one timer on a faucet I use to water the backyard and do strategically locate it to water one garden area when we are out of town.
The kids tend to mess with the settings a lot though, so I don't use it on a regular day to day basis, mostly just do the off-on thing to get it to go for 30 minutes, then set the microwave timer for 15 minutes, and when it beeps pull the hose to move the sprinkler in another location and let it time out on its own. Weird, but works for me. ;)
I bought my DIG Water Timer Model# 9001 over 2 years ago and its been watering for me ever since with zero problems and maintainence. I never gave it a second thought except to change the battery rountinely once a year. I set it and forgot it, its basically trouble-free. Its been my best timer out of them all.
We have sub freezing temperatures (20âÂÂ) here in Badger, CA . . .
We have lost so many timers because they crack and leak . . .
The DIG 9001 we have is two years old . . .
While this is not recommended . . .
It has been outside 365 days a year . . .
with the water on all the time . . .
and it is still working perfectly.

As Campbell backs out of her promised trip to lend a well-manicured hand to assist survivors of the earthquake, she should know that there are prophylactics available to prevent becoming infected with malaria, if it were indeed present in epidemic proportions. Most third world travelers take precautionary medicines as a matter of course. But perhaps it is better that Campbell stay home. I would suggest that she take the money she would have burned on bodyguards, private jets, private ground transportation and the additional money spent by paparazzi and donate it to fund biosurveillance teams that are actually trying to prepare the medical community for what awaits the Haitian population once the rainy season begins.
Sorry to be so cynical, but I have witnessed celebrities around the world using disasters to hone their own images and create award winning films on the backs of victims.
While Campbell makes international headlines for her non-event, Dr. James Wilson, director of Praecipeo International, a non-profit organization that tracks global disease outbreaks, is screaming into the wind about the potential for a real health and environmental catastrophe. Wilson was involved in the detection, tracking, and warning of nearly 250,000 infectious disease events involving over 250 disease entities affecting humans, animals, or plants in nearly every country in the world including Antarctica. He says that Haiti is facing a deadly outbreak of diarrheal disease in infants, and that the country and medical infrastructure is not prepared for the event. Why is no one listening? Wilson and his team are the same analytical team that detected and warned of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic in Mexico. As the Washington Post reported, Mexican health authorities tried to warn the WHO's regional office in Washington, and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), of a possibly brewing epidemic. People in the WHO's Geneva headquarters received several urgent warnings from Wilson's biosurveillance firm, Veratect, based in Kirkland, Washington. But the warnings went unheeded despite reams of international health regulations.
The delay in making the global health community aware happened despite the adoption in 2005 of international health regulations requiring nations to report to the WHO within 24 hours any disease outbreak that is serious, unusual, at risk of spreading internationally or potentially disruptive of trade. By the time international authorities became fully aware of the outbreak, there were about 800 cases and at least 50 deaths, and the virus was unknowingly being carried into other countries.And now we have Haiti and history is repeating itself. The rainy season is about to unleash torrents on the pummeled cities and hillsides, and we do not mean only water. The situation is ripe for massive outbreaks of not only mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue fever and malaria, but also waterborne diseases such as Typhoid and diarrheal illnesses in infants. Incidents of infant diarrhea are reaching 25 percent in some areas, and infants can die within 24 hours with no treatment.
The amount of typhoid being reported warrants an adjustment to our assessment, where we now include typhoid as part of "diarrheal disease". The majority of diarrheal disease in children is afebrile or with low fever, which may be associated with a variety of agents such as E. coli, rotavirus, norovirus, and giardia. Shigella and non-typhoidal salmonella species are also present. There is occasional report of febrile bloody diarrhea consistent with typhoid.Wilson provides a kind of "National Weather Service" for infectious disease events. In total, he has and his team has detected, tracked, and provided warning of nearly a quarter of a million infectious disease events to CDC and WHO for every country on earth.
Wilson is not the only health professional sounding an immediate alarm, but still nothing is being done. In March, UNICEF told the Washington Post:
With the rains come the risk of water-borne diseases, which create intestinal bacteria and diarrhea, and diarrhea is deadly to children, said Simon Ingram, a spokesman for UNICEF. The organization estimates that 250,000 children are displaced. In addition, health-care providers noted that the rain could also escalate malaria cases as mosquitoes that reproduce near stagnant water.The notoriously slow-to-react U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also is compiling an epidemiology report, according to the Wall Street Journal:
"As we move from one season to the other, we fully expect an increase of diarrhea and malaria," the CDC's Dr. Ronald Waldman said. "That's what always happens in the rainy season." Ronald. Waldman is a U.S. government medical emergency coordinator who has been stationed in Port-au-Prince since shortly after the earthquake, according to the WSJ.
But this is no ordinary rainy season and no one seems to be making the connection that it is about to spell disaster of epic proportions for Haiti, especially its children.
Here is a portion of a field report that described conditions in a camp in Petionville in mid-March after a very short rain event. Imagine what is about to happen to the watershed.
Overall there is degenerate health risk as you step further into the camp. The clay topsoil has through time been impregnated with urine, feces, and bacteria. The site after a 5-minute rain immediately was a disaster. The urine was immediately recharged and the fecal matter separated from the clay itself. Quickly streams of milky white recharged urine laden with soaked fecal matter laded the camp. Although, it simply rained for 5 minutes, caustic puddles formed on the low-lying areas of the camp. The walking conditions were slick and treacherous, very unsafe. The most difficult aspect was that this was a direct diarrheal disease threat and the entire watershed emptied out onto the streets of PaP (Port-au-Prince). Petionville being one of the highest neighborhoods in all of PaP would assure this caustic brew to spread throughout most of the direct lying streets and communities. This was simply unacceptable.This also begs the question why a camp with inadequate sanitation is situated on a hill where everything drains into the watershed. Go deeper into this camp on the hill and you realize the camp itself is at the bottom of a second hill? Why? To protect the Petionville golf course from being destroyed. Such is Club Haiti, where the concerns of the wealthy still prevail over the lives of the dispossessed. Even the tennis courts are protected.
"Camp Med" guarded by US Marines
Tennis courts at Camp Med in Petionville
So where is the CDC in all of this? The United States has pledged millions and one would expect at least some of it would go to health care and monitoring of potential disease outbreaks. The answer can be found on the CDC webpage, and it is a travesty.
Water Rations..we were told to not even pick them up
The organization is vague about how many field investigators it has in country--perhaps fifteen. Its main concerns are malaria and other vector transmitted diseases as well as making sure that relief workers and Haitians do not bring TB back to the States with them. There appears to be no comprehensive plan in place to prepare and mitigate the waterborne disease epidemic that is almost certain to unfold. The CDC is focused on vaccination programs and vector control for malaria and dengue. This issue of infant mortality due to diarrhea is off the CDC's broken radar. Naomi Campbell is spreading the rumors of a non-event and helping the CDC in its misguided focus on malaria.
Child with diarrheal illness March 12
No rehydration was vailable
As Dr. Wilson told us, public health has a built in resistance to having and effectively using a "National Weather Service"-like warning system for infectious disease crises and disasters. The big threat of a warning system is that its very existence becomes a mechanism for accountability. Having warning information and not acting precipitates Congressional investigations. Hear no evil see no evil. Bureaucrats are risk-adverse by nature.
