Which won't be hers, she knows.
But she tells everyone she's fine, that she likes being home, where she can have full-time visiting hours for two sets of parents and nine brothers and sisters, the Angels' ballgame on TV, her cheerleading pictures in the photo albums, her husband an embrace away, her pit bull Lily at her checker-socked feet, and cake and strawberries – "Heatherberries," everyone calls them here — for dessert. And dinner.
She welcomes visitors. She likes hearing stories, even the embarrassing ones, like the time she accidentally fired the Strike Force's T-shirt launcher during a 2007 Angels game and nearly took out All-Star Garret Anderson.
Beyer laughs at the recollection, her brown eyes bright but her energy fading. The doorbell rings. She needs to talk to the nurse, make more plans and answer at least one question.
"My middle name," she says, stopping, pulling oxygen mask to her face, breathing twice and letting go.
"My middle name is Faith."

Showers will continue into the evening, and thunderstorms are possible, with damaging winds and heavy rain and an overnight low around 43 degrees. It will be windy, with winds of 13 to 18 mph increasing to 28 mph after midnight with gusts as high as 55 mph.
The canceled departures included flights to Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, plus flights arriving from Charlotte, N.C., and two from Philadelphia.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! DT Justin Bannan (calf) finally returned to practice without a hitch yesterday (photos, more photos), while newly-signed linebacker Keith Brooking (hamstring) left early for an MRI. T Ryan Harris (ankle) and FB Chris Gronkowski (groin) were back in action; LB Danny Trevathan (ankle), S Quinton Carter (knee), and S Jim Leonhard (knee) remain sidelined.
Carter's knee injury apparently dates back to last season, and its repair was prompted by the hamstring injury he suffered early in camp. TE Julius Thomas says his knee recovery is still only at 80%, but along with Peyton Manning and Demaryius Thomas, he was one of the day's standouts.
Eric Decker had a productive day working against Champ Bailey, and the backup running backs all made notable plays. Ronnie Hillman also made a big play, and he would have been active in the preseason opener were it not for the rainy conditions.
Happy Monday, friends. I'm going to be working to split my various pontifications and blatherings into smaller, and more frequent articles, and finally get with the spirit of the whole blogging thing. To that end, I'm going to be more topical, and less wide-ranging in each one.
Today, I decided to talk about the play of rookie QBs in their first preseason games, focusing on the five who seem to have a chance to start for their teams. I saw a lot of good play from these guys, for beginners, and I was mostly very impressed.
Andrew Luck - Indianapolis Colts, 1st pick
Luck looked excellent, especially in the areas of anticipation, footwork, ball handling, concept understanding, and accuracy. He even zipped a couple of deep outs a little better than I thought he could. His ball handling is the most impressive thing to me, and he obviously has a lot of background with play action from his time at Stanford.
Luck looked like he could be one of the best QBs in the NFL right away on Sunday, but there's a huge caveat to that. He was playing against a really vanilla defense, and the Colts were running concepts that were specifically designed to beat those defenses. I'll be interested to see how well the kid does in recognizing more exotic coverages and rush schemes once the season starts. In terms of handling the speed of the game, though, and executing NFL QB responsibilities, he's beyond advanced.
8:17 remains in the fourth quarter of the Broncos' 31-3 preseason-opening victory over the Bears. Matt Blanchard is Chicago's quarterback and has his guys in a 113 (sometimes called 'Posse') shotgun formation, with his running back to his right and tight end Evan Rodriguez (88) outside the left offensive tackle, which creates the closed side* of the formation.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! Andrew Mason updated his predictions for the Broncos' 53-man roster, and he has T Ryan Harris, DE Jeremy Beal, and LB Mike Mohamed among those on the outside looking in.
Despite fan dreams of Harris returning to form (and health) and playing a major role in a revamped offensive line, it's just not happening. Per Mason, the starting five is set, and it will be the same group that started all 16 regular season games together in 2011: LT Ryan Clady, LG Zane Beadles, C J.D. Walton, RG Chris Kuper, and RT Orlando Franklin.
While some of us have remained eternally hopeful that the 2008 version of Harris (the only one that played 16 games, and more than 11) would reappaear at some point, a reality check is in order. Harris dressed for a combined 19 games (18 starts) in 2009 and 2010, and none in 2011; so far in camp, he has worked behind both Chris Clark and Adam Grant. And although he's listed as being the second-string right tackle on the initial depth chart, the versatility (and health) of Clark and Grant give the slightly younger players (both are 26, Harris is 27) a distinct advantage.
Updated 9:52am ET
Earlier in the week came news that the Raiders had chosen to lower their blackout threshold. As a Broncos fan, I'm used to watching a franchise that has an infinitesimal chance of needing to manipulate the blackout rule, but living in San Diego for the last few years has afforded me an up-close view of a franchise that struggles to sell tickets despite having been fairly successful for much of the last decade.
While I understand that to the NFL, control of the product is considered an important linchpin in maintaining their revenue stream, I don't think that teams comprehend the basis for why the blackout rule is bad for both the teams and the fans. I've lived here for four years, and I have yet to hear anyone say, "Hey, I want to get to the game this weekend because they're going to black it out otherwise."
The truth is, in San Diego you're fighting a beach-oriented culture in which schoolkids are bussed to the shore for surfing classes, street fairs can pop up at any time because there really isn't a bad weather season, and the local NFL franchise really isn't a big draw. The media coverage isn't exactly fertile, and despite my own interest in the game, I rarely meet a serious Chargers fan. Contrary to some of my experiences on the Internet, the ones that i meet tend to be, well, SoCal folks - laidback, not that attached or as used to the teams' shenanigans as Chicago's North Siders were to the losing ways of the Cubs.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Players returned to practice yesterday (John Fox, photos, more photos) for the first time following the preseason opener.
Keith Brooking put on the pads for the first time since he signed on Monday, and even got into a scuffle with center J.D. Walton. The fifteenth-year veteran worked at the Will linebacker spot and is also expected to work at the Mike. Brooking says he needs to improve his familiarity with Denver's defensive scheme, and that he expects to be something of a mentor to the younger linebackers.
CB Tracy Porter strained an ab muscle, while LB Danny Trevathan (ankle), FB Chris Gronkowski (groin) sat out due to injuries from Thursday. T Ryan Harris (ankle) and DT Justin Bannan (calf) did not play Thursday or practice yesterday.
Ronnie Hillman returned to full-fledged action following his hamstring injury; fellow running back Xavier Omon and LB Wesley Woodyard excelled. So did S Rahim Moore, and Chris Harris appears to be holding onto his nickel corner role.
The team held a walkthrough in the evening and will have another day off today.
Continue reading "Chad Johnson, perhaps not such a great guy Lard"
The Broncos have just capped off a seven-play, 52-yard drive with a Xavier Omon touchdown run to extend their lead to 17-0 over the Bears. After the ensuing kickoff, the Bears have the ball on their own 23-yard line with 6:23 to go in the third quarter of Thursday's preseason opener.
The Bears are arranged in a 21 (regular) 'I' formation with the tight end on the offensive left. The handoff will be going to #25, tailback Armando Allen, who is intended to follow his fullback and hit the closed side (the one with the tight end) of the formation. The fullback is to fake a block to the strong side and then cut back to the weak side for his blocking assignment. The tight end will help double-team the right defensive end along with the left tackle, or take on the safety if he cheats up.
Denver is in one of their 4-3 defensive fronts, this time using the (traditional) Will (Nate Irving, #56) in a two-point stance at the right end of the DL. From Irving, top to bottom, are right defensive end Cyril Obiozor (54), tackles Ben Garland (63) and Sealver Siliga (98), and left defensive end Jamie Blatnick (77). The four defensive linemen and the Will linebacker want to engage with the entire offensive line including the TE, unless he releases. Irving would take him in that event.
Continue reading "A Second Helping of Danny Trevathan vs the Bears"
Good Morning/Afternoon, Broncos fans! There's been plenty of chatter about the possibility of the Broncos shifting right tackle Orlando Franklin over to guard, and of course, a lot of that took place right here at IAOFM. TJ has been beating that drum since a month after the team drafted the guy, while Ted and Doc have also mentioned the idea of using Franklin to replace Zane Beadles at left guard.
According to Jeff Legwold, the Broncos have indeed pondered a move, although it's not the one-for-one Franklin/Beadles swap. Rather, he says the team is is considering sliding Big O over one spot to Chris Kuper's right guard position, with Kuper likewise moving leftward as the one to replace Beadles.
Of course, the trick here is finding someone good enough to start at right tackle, whether it be Ryan Harris, Chris Clark, or even Beadles. Don't forget - Zane was a tackle at Utah, and his first six starts in the pros came at right tackle when Harris was injured in 2010.
Happy Friday, Broncos fans! Denver's backups shellacked the Bears' understudies 31-3 (box score, BTV highlights, NFLN highlights, John Fox, Peyton Manning, others) in Chicago last night.
Manning wasn't quite all there - several of his throws fluttered a bit - and his only possession ended with what appeared a poorly-placed throw at the goal line to Brandon Stokley which was tipped and intercepted. FWIW, Stokes claims he ran a poor route on the play, but we'll never know for sure.
But Peyton's legendary footwork, decision-making, and quick release were on full display, and from his postgame comments, it's clear he wasn't so sure a year ago that he'd ever be back in the NFL. Last night was obviously a big deal to Peyton, who we're guessing had as much nervous anticipation for a preseason game as he did for his very first one in 1998.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

We all think we intuitively "get" the Millennial consumer – hip, digitally savvy 20-somethings who would rather text than talk and who run their lives from their ever-present Smartphones.
But a great deal of misinformation exists about Millennials, even as they continue to grow in consumer power and influence. Has their reliance on technology impacted how they communicate? What influences their purchasing decisions? How do their relationships with friends and family inform other areas of their lives?
This year, Influence Central set out to get a deeper understanding of Millennials and surveyed more than 1,100 Millennial women born between 1979 and 1993 for their views on everything from technology platforms to purchase habits to privacy in a digital world.
Their responses revealed a complex profile of a rising generation eager to make their own mark in the world around them. Consider these surprising facts about this influential generation:
- They Chart Their Own Consumer Journey: Millennials stand out from their Gen X and Boomer predecessors when it comes to their path to purchase. Instead of the linear course of earlier generations, Millennials follow a circuitous approach – filled with fact-gathering, inspiration, browsing, peer education, and more – that all intertwines with one another. Not surprisingly, 58% of Millennials consider themselves very engaged in consumerism.
- They Seek Out New Experiences: Millennials – who believe themselves to be intrepid explorers – constantly look for new products, experiences, and adventures that they can spontaneously share. They love to uncover cool new products or trend spot to find their next big adventure. In fact, 53% consider themselves independent thinkers, as well as say they are the first of their peers to try new things.
- They Don't Look for Leadership Opportunities: Despite their quest for adventure, Millennials don't do it to establish expertise or followers – instead they prefer to stay on more of an equal footing with friends and family as they share information online. Unlike previous generations who sought out leadership opportunities, just 5% of Millennials use social media to be considered an expert, and more than 40% say they don't measure their personal success against others on social media (28% say they do).
- They Proactively Gather Opinions: While Millennials remain independent thinkers, they place considerable value on the opinions of their friends and family members. Before making a purchase, they'll seek insight from those in the know and query friends, peers, and family members for their thoughts and opinions. In fact, 93% of Millennials have made a purchase after hearing about it from a family member or friend, and 87% trust products after conducting their own research, which typically involves significant crowdsourcing from friends.
- They Don't Share Everything on Social Media: Even though they've grown up as the first generation surrounded by social media and technology, Millennials do identify boundaries in what they'll share publicly. Fifty percent think twice about posting a status update or tweet, and more than 40% say they never check-in on social media. In addition, only 28% of Millennials will post more updates now than they did previously. This online sharing/privacy dichotomy represents an example of the contradictions that exist within this demographic – as well as some of the misinformation that's out in the marketplace about Millennials.
- They Still Value In-Person Connections: This online vs. in-person connection represents another example of how this generation doesn't fall neatly into buckets. While Millennials may navigate their lives in an online world, they still seek out in-person recommendations, and this feedback does influence their purchasing decisions. For example, nearly 70% seek in-person, word-of-mouth recommendations for food and beverage spends, and more than 65% of Millennials look for personal recommendations when considering vacation options.
Overall, reaching Millennial consumers can represent a challenge for brands because they differ so significantly from the generations that came before them, and the approaches that worked for Boomers and Gen Xers simply don't resonate with this cohort. But by gaining a better understanding of how Millennials communicate, make purchasing decisions, and interact with friends and family, brands can go a long way in successfully connecting with them.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Responds to Questions on International Family Planning
In a hearing on the FY 2013 budget, Senate Frank Lautenberg asks Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the importance of international family planning.
A new analysis from researchers at the Guttmacher Institute found that states' unintended pregnancy rates are related to the proportion of women in the state who are uninsured and receiving Medicaid.
Maryland's Family Planning Works Act, which makes Medicaid-funded birth control, testing for sexually transmitted diseases, cancer screenings, and other essential services accessible to an additional 33,000 low- and moderate-income women in the states, went into effect today.
Use of erotic imagery to promote family planning (as opposed to HIV prevention) has been less the norm but this need not be the case.
I wonder if you can imagine what it feels like to be told, again and again, what it means to be a girl. You're not really a full human being: you're a sexualized baby-making organism who, once we are post-menopausal and no longer attractive, there really is no use for.
Her opponents have smeared her as a racist and classist, but Sanger devoted her life to fighting for equal access to reproductive choice.
Reaching seven billion people on planet Earth has prompted renewed debates about the balance between population size and consumption of natural resources, about age structure and political stability, and about the consequences of rapid population growth rates for poor countries' ability to develop economically. To a large extent, however, these macro-level dilemmas reflect a micro-level problem about which there is a universal consensus and where the solution is relatively straightforward.
Republicans voted eleven separate times this week to block funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). That's right, eleven separate times in the span of just three hours.
At a time when America is facing the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression, when poverty rates in Texas are rising, and the uninsured rate in Texas is the highest in the nation, the Republican dominated Texas legislature cut funding for programs prove to helping working women while increasing funding for religious organizations that do nothing for women's health care.
President Bush praises family planning? On World Contraception Day? Don't fall off your chair. Nearly 40 years ago, ensuring universal access to family planning services was a cause that card-carrying Republicans were actually proud to embrace.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp., and Mansfield Energy Corp. today announced a strategic partnership to offer customers the most comprehensive solution in the compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel industry.
Sales teams from both companies will offer Clean Energy's natural gas fueling station construction and operational services to current and potential customers. These services will be supported by Mansfield's large-scale fuel supply capabilities, and Gas-2-Gallons fuel management system creating a superior solution for the growing number of fleets making the switch to cleaner, cheaper natural gas.Mansfield Gas Equipment Systems has ongoing CNG service and operations contracts with 43 locations as well as 20 new CNG sites currently under development in the waste, transit, and municipal fleet sectors. This portfolio will be combined with the 348 CNG and liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling stations Clean Energy currently owns, operates or supplies, further solidifying Clean Energy's position as the largest provider of natural gas infrastructure for transportation in North America.
Clean Energy's total strategic partnerships to-date represent over 11 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel delivered annually. The company also will become the Western distributor of Mansfield Gas Equipment Systems' FuelMaker, a small scale business and home re-fueling system.Natural gas fuel costs up to $1.50 less per gallon than gasoline or diesel, depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel not only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in medium to heavy-duty vehicles.
The buses, manufactured by Proterra, can run for 35 miles between charges and get the equivalent of 19 miles per gallon compared to four miles per gallon for standard diesel buses.
One surprising finding was that commuters reported feeling better when travelling by public transport, compared to driving.
With the introduction of the new TerraVolt extended-range battery, Proterra buses can now be configured to travel up to 180 miles between charges.
Located near a major train station, the garage will include a bike repair shop and changing rooms where commuters can shower, dress for work, and leave their helmets in lockers.
Each 40-foot electric bus carries 36 seated passengers plus standees and is equipped with air operated doors, brakes, suspension, hydraulic power-steering, stainless steel bike racks and LED lighting.

Measurement of Mechanical Parameter Nonlinearities of Electrodynamic Loudspeakers
A method for determining the variation with diaphragm position of the mechanical parameters of an electrodynamic loudspeaker unit is described. In this method, the moving system of the loudspeaker is excited mechanically so that the mechanical impedance can be determined independently of the electromagnetic coupling in the loudspeaker unit. The parameters are determined from the impedance curve with a simple curve fitting technique.

Buying online from USA stores

I'm wanting to buy from Disney.com but the postage price is pretty huge to Australia. I'm after particularly Mickey/Minnie Mouse t-shirts, have seen them in Walmart.com but they don't ship to Australia.
Anyone got any idea where I can get them from? Australia has a very ordinary range for the 12yo set.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:38 AM
I hope I am not hijacking your thread but I am wondering if anyone has ordered from American Girl before and what the shipping cost from there was like.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 01:44 PM
Have you tried Gap or Sears? I was in the US recently and they had Mickey Mouse and other Disney character t'shirts. Not sure if they ship overseas & how much it will be though.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 01:52 PM
With shipping forwarders the charges are not cheap most start at around $30 just to give you an idea. Then they charge around $5 for each 500g after. They also charge by volumetric weight so if you purchase shoes you can be charged for 2kgs of shipping for an item weighing much less.

Introduction to the Vancouver Big Tree Hiking Guide
Welcome to the Vancouver big tree hiking guide. This page has been created to help people engage with Vancouver's local forests through offering interpretation and directions for visiting exceptional old-growth forests in the Vancouver area. Vancouver's is surrounded by lush temperate rainforest that contains trees over 1300 years old and up to 86 m tall. It is reported that the tallest trees on earth grew in the Vancouver area before logging commenced in the late 1800's. Currently, of British Columbia's 50 or so native tree species, the largest, widest or tallest specimens of at least eight of those species are known to be within Vancouver city limits (e.g., red alder and big leaf maple) or in the forests of the surrounding Lower Mainland (e.g., black cottonwood, amabilis fir, Douglas-fir, western hemlock, Pacific yew, and grand fir).
Two hiking guide pages have been added to this site: The UBC forests and big tree guide and the Capilano Canyon Hiking guide. Other areas around Vancouver with monumental trees worth checking out are listed and represented by photos below. Pages for these areas will be added soon!
For an introduction to Vancouver's old-growth forests join the author of this website on a 2 1/2 minute video journey to find a massive Douglas-fir in North Vancouver called Grandpa Capilano!
Please direct any questions or comments to Ira Sutherland at firstname.lastname@example.com
Select Big tree hiking areas (In no particular order):
- UBC old-growth
- Stanley park, Vancouver
- Capilano Canyon, North Vancouver
- Brother's Creek, West Vancouver
- Lynn Valley, North Vancouver
- Seymour Valley, North Vancouver
- Upper Chilliwack Valley, Chilliwack

From the PublisherKudyba again has put together an all-star cast in his new book focused on leveraging data, including the more traditional structured and also the unstructured incomprehensible source, to generate actionable information. This most current book provides a framework for both the advanced data jockeys to more analytically focused data-driven decision makers. A must-read for those wishing to be on the cutting edge of leveraging the multitude of data sources that businesses capture today.
—Jeff Nicola, VP of Retail Sales at one of the nation's largest health insurance firms, and a Six Sigma Black Belt
Dr. Kudyba has drawn upon his own, as well as industry experts', experiences to create a timely and thought provoking book on business intelligence. Big Data, Mining, and Analytics: Components of Strategic Decision Making should be recommended reading for both industry professionals and students involved in the challenge of developing actionable information. As described in this book, it is not a situation of the lack of data. It is, however, a situation where the plethora of amounts and types of data (whether structured or not) provides an arguably evolutionary situation, replete with new challenges, opportunities, and pitfalls. I highly recommend this book to anyone involved or interested in how big data, data mining, and analytics fit together in our current state; a state where the complexity, amount, and inadequate methodologies threaten the opportunities presented to leverage new sources of information to improve strategic as well as operational decision making.
—Thad Perry, Ph.D., Director of Healthcare Informatics, Tennessee Technological University
Just as early analytical competitors in the 'small data' era moved out ahead of their competitors and built a sizable competitive edge, the time is now for firms to seize the big data opportunity. ... an excellent review of the opportunities involved in this revolution ... The road to the Big Data Emerald City is paved with many potholes. Reading this book can help you avoid many of them, and avoid surprise when your trip is still a bit bumpy.
—From the Foreword by Thomas H. Davenport, Distinguished Professor, Babson College; Fellow, MIT Center for Digital Business; and Co-Founder, International Institute for Analytics

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood
What the hell @ some of the sound files in this game
Note to mods: These are all junk sound files, and I'm not linking to anything illegal!
Out of total boredom, I was digging through this game's sound files. I love the final boss music, and wanted to see if the extracted version sounded any different than the ripped ones on Youtube.
It turns out that all of the boss songs in this game are .strm files, while all of the sound effects and world BGM are different files (.swar, .sseq, etc), so I guess that explains why they all sound like crap.
Anyway, there are about 100 or so .swar files in this game, and most of them are just weird boops and fart noises. But amongst that, there a few stranger ones:
111-int_s1_i05arc: http://www.zshare.net/audio/97361130c7b70be6/
113-int_s2_i03arc: http://www.zshare.net/audio/9736117599e19c61/
These KIND of sound like the creepy music that plays in treasure rooms/Nester's house, but they're a bit darker and robotic. I'm not positive, but I don't think they're in the game. Then there's THIS thing:
112-int_s2_i01arc: http://www.zshare.net/audio/9736116078609c8e/
It sounds like some screaming, followed by a machine of some sort, and then someone saying "Alice? or "Alex?" These are real files extracted from the game's sound_data.sdat file.
I dunno... Maybe these are something from another Bioware game that got mixed up in here. Or maybe someone at Bioware was feelin' a little disgruntled.
Strickland Propene does not have a vending machine. It smells, and I thank God every day I get home that I didn't get exploded.

Another Noob Question on Soil Testing
I'm planning on taking representative samples today to send to Logan Labs, which is the best one, based on the info here and that other site.
The instructions say to collect at a depth of 6" from no less that 15 distinct areas around the test area.
So my question, should I request different tests for front and back yard? Is there bound to be that much difference? I guess I should add that I'm on a pretty standard (for here) 6000 sq ft residential lot.
Often times people report there is a significant difference between front and back soil. This could be due to excavation from the home being piled in one or the other and then spread or topsoil turcked in for the front but not the back, or in larger yards it could be natural occuring differences from historic deposits. Use observations to help you decide. If you do not see significant soil type differences and you have not seen differences in the same turf grass between the yards (for instance yellowing KBG in the front but not the back), one test should be fine from samples from both yards mixed together. Next year, if you are seeing significant differences in the front and back turf, you can get separrate tests. I initially used only one test and it worked fine for me. If I had seen differences between my turf after the first year, I had planned on going to two tests.
There is a government geological site that maps soil types and in some instances mapping them to allotment level. Sorry but I can't seem to find the link in my bookmarks, but I'm sure if you google soil profile mapping you'll find it. Soil type is only one variable to consider though.
This post was edited by grass1950 on Thu, Feb 7, 13 at 11:03
Appreciate it, that's exactly the info I was looking for. I was actually looking at that site yesterday, if we're talking about the same site at TAMU - http://soildata.tamu.edu/county.htm
Charateristics of soil and grass are pretty much the same front and back ... not much area in the first place. At least initially, I'll send them a healthy mix of both.
If you live inside Loop 410 in an area with the big houses (King William, Alamo Heights, etc.), then I would get separate tests. Why? Because those areas have long histories of ownership where someone might have neglected the back yard but kept the front looking pristine with lots of chemicals. You could have a build up of P or K in the front which would throw off the plan for the rear. In other areas of town you can almost expect the back to have been neglected some time in the past, but I would not expect that much extra effort in the front. If you have a home less than 10 years old, then the front and back are likely the same.
What part of town are you in? Soils don't vary much until you get towards the south of town or up the escarpment.
Mr. Hall, I'm on the west side, near 1604 & 90. Soil is pretty similar throughout the neighborhood. I wanted to be sure separate tests wasn't standard practice. I'm pretty new to organics, but after reading around in here, I'm pretty excited about the idea. After seeing how compacted and sparse parts of the yard is, plus the fact that a friend found the "wonder fertilizer" that he applied to my front yard which immediately burned and killed it in random patches, I'm pretty much done with synthetics that are supposed to work "anywhere, anytime, on any grass". Now I have to fix the mange, lol.
dchall makes an excellent point about the lawn's history and possible neglect of the back yard. That's what I was trying to drive at when I suggested you base your decission on observations of differences (like color) as a new owner is unlikely to know what care or lack thereof the previous owner may have done.
Fortunately it was a new construction. No telling where they got the base and topsoil from though. Most of the soil on this side of town is that light brown Texas topsoil. And, of course, a healthy mix of dense caliche. Not sure why, but my front and back both are considerably darker than the typical light brown of the neighborhood. I need to go take a soil science course; a lot more to healthy yards than I thought.

|Politics / Re: Should FG Grant Boko-Haram Amnesty? by harakiri(m): 7:38pm On Mar 11, 2013
The very people advocating for "Amnesty" to these cold blooded terrorists are the same people sponsoring them. Isn't it funny that whenever the Northern Elite "speak for their people", its ALWAYS complaints of inadequate funds from federal govt and "marginalization"? All they are interested in is more funds and more importantly, getting back the reins of power. BOKO HARAM IS ALL ABOUT THE 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS and nothing more. If a northerner (e.g Buhari or IBB) had emerged as president after Yar'Adua died, things would have been different. The senseless killings came into full force and progressively skyrocketed and GEJ became president.
Their intention was frustrate his tenure so it would seem as if he is not doing anything about "security" and thus, deter him or anyone that isn't from the North from contesting. Amnesty is given to people fighting for a just cause NOT rampaging lunatics who wipe out entire families in cold blood.
The Northern Elite keep complaining about inadequate funding yet its been revealed that they control 83% of our oil. Apart from that, what do their governors,senators,rep members and LG chairmen do with all the billions they get from Abuja every month?
The Sultan should shut up!!!

colly227: The intimidation I faced in ekosodun when I went to visit a friend was beyond my understanding. First it was a bit of being unlucky and it was about 7:30pm when I went to buy something to eat from hill crest hostel to Edo street, on getting to the fast food centre I noticed they have closed so I decided to buy suya, while I was waiting for Northerner to warm the suya 2 cultist guys approached me from behind and one of them intentionally hit his hand on me just to make sure the Smirnoff drink he held falls of his hands. First I thought it was an accident then I bent down immediately to pick the drink for him backed with I'm sorry.

From the way you keep hinting on me being in Africa, it's quite obvious that living in a foreign land means the whole world to you. You are probably one of those that went either by road or in a ship hence the reason your head is still in the clouds at your "achievement". Anyways, being abroad doesn't translate into being enlightened (but that's something ignoramuses like you wouldn't understand). Anyways, look up these links and update your empty brain :

With a price tag of between $1.7 to $2.5 million dollars, it's not the most expensive car in the world. The most expensive car in the world is the Maybach Excelero tagged at $8 million dollars.
