Help! Brown lawn!
Hey everyone,
I just joined the community. I'm a first time home owner here in North Dallas, TX. I'm starting to find myself caring more and more about my lawn. I've never had one before, so I'm really clueless about anything that doesn't involve just pushing a mower around :)
First, here are a few pictures of my lawn. I apologize that I did not attach them directly. It appears I can only attach 1 photo but I had a few more. I created an album on Google+ for the rest of them here:
I just got done mowing and then took these photos.
When I moved into this house, the lawn looked pretty patchy/brown already. Previous owner was using a company called GroGreen to keep the lawn maintained (fertilizing and weed killing). I'd rather do all of that myself starting out to save money, so I haven't been using them.
I water 1 time a week (city is starting to only allow 1 watering every 2 weeks now) for about 20 minutes in the back and 40 minutes in the front, but we've been getting a lot of rain the past two weeks or so as well.
Anyone know why the lawn looks so terrible? I expected it to be really green and thick, but it's not. I also think this is bermuda grass (based on pictures I saw online), but I'm not sure what flavor of it. Any lawn care advice for this newbie is much appreciated! Thanks for the opportunity to join the experts in this community.

I"m no expert but I live in north Dallas so I can relate a little. I'm surprised about your watering restrictions. We are still at twice a week here. Is that bermuda grass? If so I think your not giving the grass enough water. Bermuda needs about 1 inch a week. 40 minutes every two weeks is not giving you the amount you needed. That's why the grass is going brown. It's basically turning dormant for the lack of water.
There's a lot of experts here that can tell you what to do, but from all my research I believe you need to start watering property, and starting using fertilizer. I've heard that it's a good idea to fertilize bermuda every 4-6 weeks. Don't worry fertilizer is not that expensive. Also dethaching your yard wouldn't be a bad idea unless it's not a good idea to do so when its hot.
There's a chap on here named Texas Weed who wrote an informative piece of literature called the 'Bermuda Bible'. That's providing your turf is bermuda. You can google it easily.
So start watering 1 inch of week. If you can only water every 2 weeks than maybe you'll have to water 2 inches every 2 weeks. Not sure if your lawn can absorb that much water at a time. Maybe the experts can chime in. My amateur hour is over.
i also live in north dallas area and we've been on once every other week watering since before spring.
your grass looks like bermuda, so read the mentioned "bermuda bible" (see link below) and follow it to a T.
couple of notes/questions:
1) i see some shade areas in the pics. do those areas get at least 8 hours of sun a day? if not, the bermuda will thin out no matter what you do
2) bermuda is a nitrogen hog, and it needs 1lb of nitrogen per sqft/month during the growing season. if you haven't fertilized this spring/summer yet, i'd get on that first.
3) how often do you mow? ideally you want to take off 1/3 or less of the green shoots each time you mow. this can mean mowing every 3 days when there's ample water/nitrogen. the browning you see could be alot of the green shoots being mowed.
It is possible to post more than one picture but you have to use HTML coding. Here are a couple of your pictures.
That is just dry grass. With bermuda you do not have to go slowly to get into "deep and infrequent" watering. Just start. Set out some tuna and/or cat food cans and time how long it takes your sprinklers to fill the cans. That's how long you need to water. Do that once, and do it again every 7 days. If you have consistent temps in the 100s, then make that every 5 days. If you get any runoff before you get a full inch, then stop immediately and let it soak in. Come back in a half hour or so and continue until you get the entire inch.
Note the dry grass along the sidewalk. That's because the sidewalk is hot all day and night. The ground next to the hot sidewalk evaporates much more of the moisture away than the soil further away from it.
You might have a serious shade issue with this one. If you have less than 6 hours of unfiltered sunlight, it's going to be thin. You should consider alternative ground covers or perhaps a rock garden. Or flowers.
Your first picture looks like there might be a low spot right in the center - right where the green streak is. Was that picture taken looking east/west or north/south?
Also take note of the concrete visible below the brick on your house. That is exactly how high your soil must remain for safety. And note that the soil slopes away from the house out to the green stripe. That is correct, too. It should start 4 inches below the brick and then drop 6 inches lower out at 10 feet away. That should ensure your house never floods.
Thanks for the replies.
I haven't been fertilizing much. I heard from someone you aren't supposed to fertilize much, maybe a few times a year? Is it worth it to fertilize myself or hire a company to maintain it every 4-6 weeks? Fertilizer at Lowes is Scotts and its expensive, about $40-50 per seemingly small bag.
Is it OK to fertilize when you know the lawn won't get water for a few days? Or do you plan it before the 2 week watering day and/or expected rain?
I also am not a lawn connoisseur, so mowing every 3 days is too tiring for me. I think once a week is going to be my limit. I don't mind taller grass if it means it will be greener and allow longer times between mows. Thoughts?
Basically I'm a "keep it simple" kinda guy. I'm not necessarily lazy, I'll do whatever needs to be done myself, but I don't want to make an intense hobby out of it either. Will the bermuda bible help me despite this?
I'm also wondering if your mower height is either too low or if your blade is dull. I can clearly see the lines from you cutting and that shouldn't be the case. Unfortunately I don't know which of the two scenarios is causing that. Someone else will have to chime in.
Thanks for the replies guys. Let me address all questions.
You mentioned: "With bermuda you do not have to go slowly to get into "deep and infrequent" watering.". What does this mean? I don't quite understand.
Also I am not allowed to water every 7 days, only every 14 days now :-( I really feel like the city is "killing my grass" for what seems like political nonsense...
The shady part you commented on is right next to a round rock formation with a tree in the middle of it (you can see it in the picture where you commented about the sidewalk). The picture was taken at the ground positioned south-west of the tree. The shadow of the tree moves throughout the day so I am not sure if that's the problem. What do you think?
That green line is in the back yard and it's kind of at the bottom of a "V" shaped slope. I think water runs there and soaks in after a rain, which is why it probably grows better than anything else.
The green line of grass runs North-East to South-West. The side of the house you see there faces South-East.
You mentioned "Also take note of the concrete visible below the brick on your house. That is exactly how high your soil must remain for safety.", what do you mean? Are you saying the soil is too low and it should touch the brick?
As to your question regarding bumpyness, it's only bumpy when I mow the side and the front. The side of the house can be seen in the picture with the sidewalk. That is a huge slope and it's very difficult to mow, and is indeed bumpy because the grass on that end of the yard is really really bad. I think maybe because of the slope, water doesn't soak in or something. The back yard is very smooth, though.
The mower I have is a Honda and I just bought it like a month ago. I've only been using it 1 time a week. I'm assuming since it's brand new from the factory, that the blades would be as good as ever. I noticed when I mow there is a green strip along the brown in the direction I mow. I assumed it was the wheel folding the grass down as I mow. Any ideas? I think it certainly does look ugly. Maybe I'm not using good mowing technique? I just go in circles around my lawn. Is that how you are supposed to do it? I did it that way growing up as a kid on my parent's farm :-)
My cutting height is on the "2nd to last notch". Each wheel has an adjustment. I think it's around 1.5" or 1.75". When I raise it to the 3rd level, lawn doesn't look so brown but grass is above 2", closer to 2.5". It's not exact.
I would try raising it a notch just to see.
The way I mow is I cut headers and then I go in the same direction for the duration of the mowing. Next time I do the same thing but I go in a perpendicular direction to what I did last time. That keeps me from wearing out the grass by constantly turning the mower in the same spot.
It would be slightly better to mow a rectangular lawn like a Zamboni ice machine and reverse it every now and then.
Deep watering means 1 inch all at one time. Infrequent means once a week when temps get up to 90 or higher. Every other week with temps in the 80s. Not having to go slowly means other grasses have to be weaned into once a week watering. Bermuda can go cold turkey. Once every other week is practically idea for bermuda. Just be sure you get a full inch. Use your tuna and cat food cans to measure.
With your back yard getting only morning sun, it is going to thin out. St Augustine would be better there.
When that tree in the round rock planter gets bigger, it will shade grass all day. Then it will be an issue.
The area at the bottom of the V where it is green points to the issue. You're not getting water in the soil. Check the coverage with tuna cans and see if you are watering long enough to fill the cans.
Your soil height is perfect against the house. Don't bring in more soil or you can affect the drainage. You have a nice buffer zone there. That's the way it is supposed to be.
Good that you have a big bumpy area and a small one. When you decide you want to level them, you can practice on the small area first. Ask here how to do that.
I don't think you can water every other week if temps are mostly 100+ especially on the slopes. Your lawn will suffer under these conditions. As for fertilizer you want to water right after you apply. If you don't you will burn the lawn. Now if you were to go organic then you could apply without water.
I don't think you can water every other week if temps are mostly 100+ especially on the slopes. Your lawn will suffer under these conditions.
Some of the water restrictions we have around are brutal. My particular area allows every other week sprinkler during Stage 4 restrictions; however, they do allow daily soaker hose during certain hours. That has saved my lawn at least twice in the last year. Normally once every other week seems to work. We're having an El Nino this year so rain is coming regularly.
I don't really have any solutions to contribute, but I'm just curious about the water restrictions...I've heard of these before but how are they enforced? Is it just the honor system or do they try to determine if you're following it based on the total amount of water used per month?
Rules are enforced by local police. My rules give us one day a week (or two weeks) to water. Addresses ending in 0 or 1 get to water on Monday. 2 or 3 on Tuesday, etc. Nobody gets to water on weekends. Watering is restricted to certain hours. I can water on Tuesday from 7am to 10am and 8pm to 12pm. We can apply as much water as we can flow but only during our specified times. If we are on a 2-week interval, nobody can water during the off week.

FX Focus Treasury Economics Research August 22,2012 INR: Unlikely to break out of its range yet INR: Ranged trade with a depreciation bias In recent weeks, the INR has witnessed some support on account of an improvement in global risk appetite. The turn in sentiment has been driven primarily by investors pricing in a higher probability of monetary easing in the near term by both the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Federal Reserve (Fed). This risk-on sentiment in the global markets has translated into an increase in portfolio flows providing some much needed relief to the INR. Graph 1: Portfolio flows have picked up in recent months Note: Data is updated till 21-August-2012. Source: SEBI. This rally could persist for a few more days and take the USD-INR pair closer to the 55 mark. However, we are not convinced that capital flows will pick up on a sustained basis as yet. Instead, we see a number of risks both on the domestic and global front that could impinge on capital flows in the near term. While there has been some improvements in the current account position that did help in reducing pressures on the INR at the margin, we do not expect this alone to support further appreciation. In fact we expect some of the gains on the current account to dissipate going forward. Hence, we expect a trading range of 55.00-57.00 with a depreciation bias in the near term on account of an adverse balance of payments. This will change only if: (a) there is concrete action taken by EU policymakers to tackle the sovereign crisis and (b) aggressive monetary accommodation by both the ECB and Fed. However, we do not see either of the two measures before November-December 2012. Improvements in the current account unlikely to be enough A key development in FY13 so far has been a sharp fall in the merchandise imports bill that is visible across every major category of imports. The pace of growth of crude oil imports has moderated on the back of the fall international crude oil prices witnessed in 1QFY13. Gold imports have plummeted because of the elevated level of international gold prices and the government's decision to hike import duty on gold. At the same time, non-oil imports excluding gold have also slowed on account of both a slowdown in growth (and hence reduced need for imported inputs) and some import substitution. Import substitution has come on the back of depreciation in the exchange rate over the last year that has forced some domestic entities to switch away from foreign inputs and seek domestic alternatives. The reduction in the imports bill has helped in reducing the trade deficit in 1QFY13. Graph 2: Imports have softened across the board Source: Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India. However, the improvement in the trade balance is unlikely to continue at the pace that we saw in April-June, 2012 period. For one, global crude oil prices have started to head higher rising by around 13% in July and around 10% so far in August. This should push crude oil imports up that could offset (at least partly) the effect of import substitution and decline in gold imports. On the other hand, exports have clearly been hit by weak global growth and are likely to contract at a faster pace than aggregate imports. The upshot is that despite dwindling imports significant improvement in the trade balance is unlikely going forward. Graph 3: Soft exports will likely… Graph 4: ….restrict any major improvements in the trade balance Trade deficit 2000 Imports Exports 100.0 Oct-11 Aug-11 Apr-12 Jul-11 Sep-11 Jan-12 Jul-12 May-12 Mar-12 Dec-11 Jun-12 Nov-11 Feb-12 -3000 80.0 in USD mn 60.0 -8000 In YoY % 40.0 -13000 20.0 0.0 -18000 Dec-11 Jun-11 Jun-12 Oct-11 Aug-11 Apr-11 Feb-12 Apr-12 -20.0 -23000 Source: Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, RBI & HDFC Bank. Turning to the current account, the net invisibles component is likely to grow at a strong pace driven principally by continued traction in private transfers. This improvement in invisibles along with some improvement in the trade balance could help in pushing the current account deficit (CAD) from 4.2% of GDP in FY12 to 3.5% of GDP in FY13. Our sense is that this improvement in the CAD is priced into the current levels of the INR. Besides, while it is certainly represents an improvement, the fact is that in absolute terms it remains high and has to be funded through capital flows. Thus the improvement in the CAD alone cannot drive a reversal in the INR's path. Any appreciation from current levels will have to come on the back of a jump in capital flows. If instead there is a shortage of capital flows, the CAD will ensure that the INR is vulnerable to deprecation. Graph 5: Current account deficit likely to remain elevated Source: RBI. In the near term we do not expect a pick-up in capital flows to any substantive degree. In fact we identify risks that could induce 'risk-off' and hinder capital flows. This could lead to episodes of depreciation. That said, we believe that there is a high probability of a reflation trade by the year- end that could lead to some pick-up in capital inflow and push the INR below its 55-57 trading range. Why capital flows could remain weak in the near term We believe that the INR will likely remain a victim of global risk aversion and investor apprehensions about the domestic macroeconomic landscape. A number of risks are likely to weigh on the INR for the next two to three months: 1. Anxieties about domestic fundamentals and Indian sovereign downgrade: While the new finance minister seems committed to fight the economic slowdown and the policy gridlock that has contributed to this, the government, in our view, still remains reluctant to take credible (and politically contentious) measures that are required to improve the fiscal position. Some of the measures that the market is looking for are: (a) hike in diesel prices that will help in reducing the subsidy bill and (b) clarity on how fiscal slippage from drought mitigation measures will be managed. Besides, the actual growth rate is likely to be a lot lower (around 5.5%) than the 7.6% GDP growth assumed by the government in its FY13 fiscal deficit calculations. Lower than assumed growth will hit revenue targets ensuring there is significant fiscal slippage of around 0.8% to 1.0% of GDP. Hence, market apprehensions about fiscal prospects are likely to intensify going ahead especially as both S&P and Fitch have placed Indian sovereign ratings on negative watch for a possible downgrade to 'junk' status. The upshot is that lingering concerns about the fiscal situation and a prospective rating downgrade will likely force investors to remain circumspect towards investing in domestic assets. 2. Grexit: Greece is back on the market's radar screen. The region continues to be trapped in a deep austerity driven recession. The recession will adversely affect revenue income and is likely to ensure that Greece will yet again fail to meet the troika's (EU/IMF/ECB) public debt to GDP targets in either 2012 or 2013. Fiscal slippage will result in Greece requiring some form of: additional aid, further restructuring of debt or some leeway in terms of meeting its public debt to GDP targets. There is considerable uncertainty about how Greece's economic woes will be handled going forward with some policymakers in core nations stressing that they may not be willing to provide additional aid to Greece this time around. The first test of this will come in September when the troika reviews Greece's fiscal health that is followed by another review in December. Any signs of reluctance of EU policymakers to provide further relief could force markets to price in Greece exiting the Euro-zone. Such a scenario will hit market confidence and result in acute global risk aversion. While we maintain our stance that European policymakers would want to avoid this situation due to significant losses that it could generate particularly for the banking sector, recent commentary suggests that the tail risks of a Grexit cannot be totally ruled out. 3. US fiscal cliff: The so called US 'fiscal cliff' could be the next big risk factor that could start to dampen both global growth and risk appetite. The fiscal cliff involves the tightening of US fiscal policy at the beginning of 2013 by around USD 630 billion (equivalent to around 4% of US GDP) due to a series of tax cuts that are scheduled to expire by the end of 2012 as well as automatic spending cuts that are due to take effect at the beginning of 2013. Even though we expect most of the expiring tax cuts to get extended by at least another year and that should ensure that the magnitude of fiscal consolidation does not derail growth, there are two problems. Table 1: Will the US economy fall off the fiscal cliff? Fiscal tightening based on current law in 2013 Measures % of GDP Amount (USD billion) Bush tax cuts 1.4 238 --High income 0.3 56 --Low income 1.1 185 Payrolls tax cut 0.7 109 Unemployment benefits 0.2 34 Sequestration 0.5 86 Affordable care act 0.2 27 Alternative minimum tax 0.8 132 Total fiscal tightening 3.8 626 Source: IIF • The first is that any major decisions on fiscal policy are likely only after the US presidential elections in November. Hence decisions regarding the future course of US fiscal policy are unlikely to be known before December-January. However, until there is clarity the uncertainty about future US growth prospects and potential fiscal tightening will likely result in risk aversion in the near term. • The other pertains to the growing partisan face-off between the Democrats and the Republicans party about what measures to take to rein in US public finances. This division threatens to jeopardize negotiations or comprises that are required to be achieved for the timely passage of the new fiscal bill. The upshot is that the partisan brinkmanship will keep markets nervous and result in risk aversion. 4. European sovereign concerns persist: After the measures that were announced in the June EU Summit, further progress has been limited. The lack of more aggressive action to address the sovereign crisis will to add to the market's list of anxieties. Furthermore, we think that concerns about Spain could re-surface again in October as it formally requests for a bailout due to an escalation in its sovereign yields on the back of fiscal slippage concerns. Although Spanish and Italian sovereign yields have softened in recent weeks in response to rumours that the ECB could intervene aggressively in the bond market, we do not think that the ECB will do so in the near term that could push sovereign yields back up. However, the main focus will be on the German constitutional court ruling on the ESM treaty on September 12, 2012. The court needs to approve the treaty before the ESM can come into operation. Were the court to rule that the treaty needs to be re-written, there could be a delay in the ESM coming into force. This will have the more obvious negative implications for risky assets. Table 2: Major events in Europe Europe: The dates that matter Date Event 6-Sep-12 ECB monetary policy meeting 11-Sep-12 European commission delivers proposals for a single banking union supervisory authority 12-Sep-12 German constitutional court ruling on ESM treaty and fiscal compact 14-Sep-12 Eurogroup meeting Sep-12 Troika completes review of Greece bailout program 4-Oct-12 ECB monetary policy meeting 8-Oct-12 Possible disbursement of Greek aid by the troika 8-Oct-12 Eurogroup meeting 18-19 Oct-12 EU Summit: Policymakers meet to prepare initial report on EMU fiscal/political/banking union 8-Nov-12 ECB monetary policy meeting 6-Dec-12 ECB monetary policy meeting 12-13 Dec-12 EU Summit: Full report on EMU fiscal/political/ banking union-- road ahead The bottom line is that we do not see a sustained surge in capital flows going forward. In fact there are many triggers for sudden stops in capital flows that could trigger depreciation pressures. Given the myriad risks on the horizon, we expect the USD/INR to trade with an upside bias in a possible range of 55.00-57.00 in the August-October 2012 period.

However, both the ECB and Fed are likely to remain reluctant to ease monetary policy in the immediate future. Thus the current rally that appears to be premised on somewhat quick action from the Fed and ECB could be a case of the markets running ahead of themselves and is likely to fizzle out. At present, there are two reasons why the ECB will be unwilling to intervene in the sovereign bond markets. First, intervention in the bond market is likely to compress sovereign yields that might force some of the peripheral nations to renege on their austerity commitments. Lower sovereign yields will allow a member nation to fund its deficit via the market with ease and subsequently reduces the pressure to take necessary action to curtail public debt to GDP ratios. This is exactly what had happened last year when Italy shelved some of its fiscal consolidation measures in response to the ECB purchasing Italian debt. The ECB will not want a repeat of this scenario and would instead look to put pressure on EU policymakers to pass the requisite structural reforms. Second, unlimited ECB financial support can be construed as central bank financing of sovereign deficits that goes against the ECB's mandate. However, the recent proposals made by ECB President Draghi provide a path to circumvent these constraints. The ECB would probably want struggling nations to request for aid from the EFSF/ESM 1. By doing so, that nation would be forced to accept an austerity package that would entail structural reform and as part of the package the ECB could commit to purchase sovereign debt. Thus, we see a possible sequence of events that leads to liquidity infusion by the ECB: • ESM comes into operation around September/October. • A large peripheral economy like Spain seeks official aid. • Aid is provided on the back of austerity conditions. The aid is supplemented by ECB purchases of sovereign debt. • This could be followed up by a more general liquidity infusion program such as the LTRO. The sequence that we have identified is one of many possibilities. The important points to note are that the ECB will not move unless it has a guarantee that the moral hazard of member nations reneging on their commitments after getting liquidity support will not resurface. Second, the establishment of a more permanent bailout mechanism is an important milestone. Third, the ECB seems keen to act at some stage and whatever the specific form of action it takes it is likely to result in two things: (a) a revival of the risk-on trade and (b) fresh EUR liquidity infusion. If this happens at the year end, it could take the USD/INR pair down. On the other hand, the Federal Reserve has already made it clear that it could ease monetary policy if economic conditions deteriorate significantly. While the US economy has lost some momentum The European Stability Mechanism (ESM) will be the permanent vehicle used to provide financial assistance 1 to stressed Euro-zone nations. The ESM will replace the current and temporary European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF). in recent months, it is still nowhere close to an outright recession that would warrant immediate action. Hence, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to introduce QE 3 in the near term. However, even if the fiscal cliff is avoided, there is likely to be significant fiscal compression in 2013-14 as the US struggles with its public finances. This could raise anxieties about growth prospects forcing the Federal Reserve to introduce QE 3 sometime towards end 2012 or early 2013. The market could begin to price these expectations around end-2012. The upshot is that capital flows should pick up later in the year in response to global policy reflation ensuring that these flows are able to fund the current account deficit a lot more comfortably. This could happen towards November-December 2012 when the first signs of monetary easing by the two major central banks (or at least the expectation of this happening) begin to reflect in market movements. This could continue into 1H2013. The improvement in risk appetite is likely to help in pushing the USD/INR pair lower towards the 54.00-55.00 range in November-January period and down to the 52.50-53.50 range in the April-May 2013 period. Long-term: Depreciation is the new norm Is significant INR appreciation on the cards over the longer term? With the INR depreciating by around 22% against the USD in the last year alone, there are genuine concerns among investors about whether depreciation is likely to be the new normal for the INR. We think that these fears are legitimate considering that the current account deficit is likely to remain large for the foreseeable future and that there is a strong risk of a rating downgrade. For one, it is worth noting that depreciation has been more the norm in the last two decades. The depreciation trend started in the post liberalization period in FY91 that lasted till FY03. The sharp spell of depreciation helped in correcting the external imbalances by boosting export competitiveness that brought about an improvement in the current account position. The tide, however, turned from FY04 onwards. Capital flows picked up at a rapid pace due to easy global liquidity conditions and new found euphoria towards the BRIC economies. At the same time, the current account deficit widened reflecting the strong pace of domestic growth. However, the current account deficit was more than compensated for by a gush of capital flows into the domestic financial markets rendering a strong appreciation bias to the INR. This established the capital account as the dominant driver of the INR. Graph 6: INR: Moving to a new normal? Source: RBI The three different phases: Unrestrained depreciation corrects external imbalances Current account back under pressure but negated by strong capital flows resulting in INR appreciation Current account deficit widens and capital flows dwindle resulting in the INR coming under significant pressure and moving to a record low against the USD. However, the situation turned adverse last year. An acute bout of global risk aversion coupled with concerns about the domestic macroeconomic landscape meant that capital flows dwindled quite sharply. At the same time, the current account widened due to rising crude oil prices and gold imports. This rendered a sharp depreciation bias to the INR. Not much is expected to change over the next two to three years. We expect the syndrome of inadequate funding of the current account to remain the dominant theme for a number of reasons: • First, the current account deficit is likely to remain elevated. The weak global growth backdrop will mean that any boost to exports from currency depreciation will remain limited. Besides, oil imports tend to be somewhat inelastic (especially when they are heavily subsidized) and will continue to prop up headline imports • Second, the euphoria about the BRIC economies has died down considerably given that each region is facing its own structural problems and a weaker growth outlook. This means that the momentum of fund flows into the BRIC economies is likely to be a lot slower than that witnessed in past years. • Lastly, the structural problems in the G-7 world are unlikely to disappear in a hurry and will from time to time adversely affect global risk sentiment. In fact, we expect fiscal slippage in the European periphery coupled with the possibility of both Portugal and Ireland requiring additional aid to resurface around 2H2013 weighing on global risk appetite. The upshot is that after the brief rally in the INR driven by global policy reflation it is yet again likely to trade with a depreciation bias. We see a possible range of 52.00-58.00 for the USD/INR pair for the next two to three years. EUR: Further weakness in store We expect the recent uptrend in the EUR/USD pair to remain short lived and expect it to move lower as ECB does not intervene in the bond markets in the near term. The Euro is likely to remain a victim of the sovereign crisis and a recession in the Euro-zone. Concerns about Spain needing additional aid, concerns about Grexit and continued divergence in intra-European sovereign yield spreads are likely to emerge as important factors that will add to the downside pressures on the EUR for most of 2012. Even as we expect the ECB to step in, it will entail injecting significant liquidity into the financial system. Hence, the EUR will have little yield support and is unlikely to rally significantly on the back of an improvement in risk appetite towards end 2012 and 1H2013. Besides it is important to keep in mind that the European sovereign crisis is likely to remain a prolonged affair that will continue into 2013 and possibly even into 2014. We expect continued fiscal slippage across the peripheral region to weigh not only the EUR but also on global risk appetite. After concerns about Spain in 2012, focus could turn to Italy in 2013 that could be followed by both Portugal and Ireland requiring additional aid. Hence, apprehensions about the sovereign crisis are likely to weigh on the EUR in the medium to long term. JPY: Trapped in a range Global risk aversion and US treasury yields are likely to remain the dominant drivers of the USD/JPY pair. Given our expectations that concerns about the sovereign crisis and the US fiscal cliff are likely to persist, we expect the USD/JPY to trade with a downside bias in a possible range of 77.00-80.00 for the next three months. However, currency appreciation could exaggerate deflation pressures that the Japanese economy finds itself currently engulfed in. Hence, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is expected to intervene aggressively and possibly increase the size of its asset purchases program so as to inject yen liquidity into the financial system. These actions could limit the fall in the USD/JPY pair. We think that the BOJ is unlikely to allow a significant move below the 76.50 level on a sustained basis. Going into 1H2013 as risk appetite improves and the BOJ maintains its accommodative stance, we would expect the USD/JPY pair to head higher. Over the long-term we are bearish on the JPY. We believe that the Japanese government will have to resort to aggressive fiscal consolidation measures to rein in the gross government debt to GDP ratio that is currently at around 240% of GDP. In fact, the Japanese government has already hiked the consumption tax rate from the current rate of 5% to 8% in 2014 and 10% in 2015. Fiscal tightening could ensure that growth remains subdued reducing the incentive for Japanese investors to hold domestic assets. At the same time, the BOJ is likely to maintain its accommodative stance that will provide little yields support to the JPY. The upshot is that the JPY is likely to weaken significantly in the medium to long term. However, the weakness in the JPY is likely to set in more around 2014-2015 when the aggressive fiscal consolidation measures start to kick in. GBP: Some more downside in store followed by a reversal After a strong start to the year, the GBP lost significant ground in 2Q2012 in response to substantial monetary easing from the Bank of England and weaker UK economic indicators. We believe that markets have more or less priced in anaemic growth in the UK economy and going forward the GBP is likely to be driven more by broader global risk sentiment. Hence, we expect the GBP/USD pair to move marginally lower in response to global risk aversion and trade in the 1.54-1.56 range from August 2012 to October 2012. We do not expect significant downtrend below these levels primarily because of continued diversification of funds from the Euro-zone periphery into UK gilts. This flow of funds will cap any significant downside. However, we expect the GBP tide to reverse in response to the global reflation trade towards end 2012 and beginning 2013. At this point, the divergence in monetary policy between the Bank of England and the two major global central banks (ECB &Fed) will ensure that the GBP enjoys significant yield advantage. Our forecasts USD/INR EUR/USD GBP/USD USD/JPY August-October 2012 55.00-57.00 1.22-1.26 1.54-1.58 77.00-80.00 November 2012- January 2013 54.00-55.00 1.19-1.21 1.55-1.58 77.00-80.00 February-March 2013 53.50-54.50 1.19-1.21 1.59-1.60 80.00-82.00 April-May 2013 52.50-53.50 1.21-1.22 1.61-1.62 82.00-83.00 End 2013 55.00-56.00 1.17-1.18 1.57-1.58 79.00-80.00 Treasury economics research team Abheek Barua, Chief economist Phone number: +91 (0) 124-4664327 Email ID: firstname.lastname@example.com Shivom Chakravarti, Economist Phone number: +91 (0) 124-4664354 Email ID: email@example.com Jyotinder Kaur, Economist Phone number: +91 (0) 124-4664338 Email ID: firstname.lastname@example.com Disclaimer: This document has been prepared for your information only and does not constitute any offer/commitment to transact.

I love several of BeneFit's blush boxes, but for the life of me.... I can't figure out who is using Sugarbomb. And for WHAT???
About Me: Fair with warm yellow undertones (about an NC18 right now, only quite a bit more yellow toned).Hazel eyes that look blue in daylight. Natural brunette currently dyed aubergine purple with a lot of deep red and copper highlights.
Color: Has four individual colors, but really... that's just for looks. The triangles are too small to use with a blush brush (unless you have a small blush brush and you're really determined for some reason). So, blended together it's a pale peachy pink. It's semi-sheer, but somewhat buildable.
Finish: Similar to BeneFit's Coralista. More shimmery than MAC's satin blushes, but less shimmery than MAC's sheertone shimmer blushes or their frost blushes.
Texture: Perhaps not quite as soft or buttery as I'd like it to be (Coralista is a little better in that respect), but it's still pretty nice. Blends easily. No issues with the texture really :)
Wear Length: 5 hours with regular application (over foundation and setting powder with nothing on top of it). 8 hours with a light spritz of water or finishing spray on top.
Comparison: Based only on color and finish... not on texture/wear length.
BeneFit Coralista is darker and warmer toned.
MAC Dainty is darker and cooler toned.
NARS Deep Throat is considerably darker and just a tad cooler toned.
MAC Fleurry is very similar in tone, but darker and a little more shimmery.
MAC Redhead MSF (all colors swatched together) is a touch cooler toned (with more beige, less peach) and far more shimmery.
MAC By Candlelight MSF is a touch cooler toned (with more pink, less peach) and far more shimmery.
Packaging: I've never really cared for cardboard packaging. It just never lasts as long as plastic (especially if it accidentally gets wet). I think the style of these boxes is better than most cardboard packaging though.... they don't look high-end, but at least they don't look cheesy. The old style had a lid that lifted off with no mirror. The new style has a flip top lid with a mirror.... and less product. It's really no big deal though since the new style still gives you quite a lot of product.
Scent: All of BeneFit's blush boxes are scented and none of them seam to be the same. Subarbomb's scent is the sort of fragrance that I have trouble identifying.... it's sweet (but not vanilla/gourmand sweet), a little fruity, and a little floral. It's just such a perfumy/fake scent that it smells nothing like whatever it's supposed to smell like actually smells in real life. Still though... I find it kind of pleasant (and even if I didn't... it's going on my cheeks, so who cares). Those with sensitive skin might want to try before buying though.
OK.... so, the texture is fine, the wear length is fine.... why the one lippie rating? Well... when I tried it on, I couldn't even see it. As a general rule, you need to able to see blush (at least a little bit) for it to be deemed useful, so this is useless as a blush.... and I have fair skin (NC18ish). So, I'm wondering who on earth is using this as a blush? I suppose someone who's NC/NW 10 or above might be able to, but I'm not even sure about that. However, if it had less shimmer, it would probably work as a very subtle blush. I say that because it is a shade darker than my skintone, so theoretically it should add color, but the shimmer totally counteracts that (you know what I'm saying... if you have two eyeshadows of the same color, but one is shimmery and one isn't, the shimmery one will always appear lighter because it's reflecting light).
Even though it's less shimmery than even the most subtle highlighter I own, I decided to try using it that way. But again... it just blended into my skin. If it were lighter, it would probably kinda work.... but I doubt I'd like it (I find that pale highlighters with little shimmer just look ashy... even on my fair skin). What it really needs to be an effective highlighter for my skintone is a little more shimmer.
I then tried it on a few of my friends with darker skintones, thinking perhaps it'd work as a highlighter on them. I guess it kinda did... but I didn't particularly like the way it looked.
On my NW25ish friend, it was still a little too dark/not shimmery enough to really show up as a highlighter.
On my NC40ish friend, it was ok... and I stress ok. It showed up, but it looked a little ashy because of the lack of shimmer.
On my NC55ish friend, it looked very ashy and really unnatural.
Bottom Line: Clearly I'm missing something here 'cause a lot of people seam to love this.... but I just don't see why. Too light for most people to use as a blush. Not quite reflective enough for most people to use as a highlighter. It's just a weird in between area that I find completely useless.

LOVE this blush. It really doesn't look that exciting in the box, but it's the perfect natural flush with just a hint of shimmer. I love all of the Benefit boxed blushes, but this one is by far the one I use the most. They are a bit expensive at $28 each, but I feel like they're going to last quite a long time, since a little goes a long way with these in terms of pigmentation. Will definitely rebuy when necessary.

I am NW35 and this blush doesn't show up on me at all. It looked so beautiful in the package but it does nothing for my skin except make it look ashy with a sheen. Lighter skinned girls, this would show up better and look beautiful!

This blush gives my skin a lovely glow. I also love how i can choose one of the four colours to accentuate the apples of my cheeks.
The actual amount of product has decreased in the new packaging, and yet it is still being sold at the same price - this is something i am not a fan of.
I would say this blush lasts a good 4 hours on my skin - if i have been walking briskly however, i find that it wears off very easily.
The shimmer in this blush is quite strong, and very noticeable. Personally i like that, and despite this i still think it is a very wearable shade for most skin tones.

Review is from 20 year plus senior pro UK artist. I like the cutsy benefit packaging, not great for a pro, we can't lag loads of stuff. I have to depot most into palettes, but I keep a few intact for personal use, hoopla and coralalista.
Right, this is listed as a blusher? Users with medium or darker skin, in my opinion won't see much pigment, unless they are aiming for a really subtle glow, once again my pet grevience the SHIMMER, I don't touch any blushers with shimmer, they exagerate any skin imperfections or fine lines.
it is not widely unsimilar to Naras orgasm, minus orange hues. Each of the four colours could only really be used solo for eyes, as you won't get a blush or contour brush to master it
it's a nice highlight shade, but best for very young skins, shimmer will make any crows feet around the eye more obvious, so if you have them, avoid
Texture is fine I love the colours, if it seem pricey, remember there is far more product in benefit boxes that any other top brands, for personal use, they last a long time

I love Benefit box powders but honestly, I don't like this one because it has too much shimmer and not enough color. I do however, like this as a highlight but I have my High Beam for that! This also doesn't show up that much on my skin either because I have medium skin so anyone who's darker than me, this blush will not be very useful. Awesome product, just not for me.

ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a really unique experience for them to get to experience someone like that and hear what theyŌĆÖve done and what theyŌĆÖve seen,ŌĆØ Treptow said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a way to open their eyes to whatŌĆÖs going on (in Kenya).ŌĆØ
MSUŌĆÖs inaugural Academic Integrity Week is aimed at promoting integrity not only in academics, but also research, job searches, athletics and more, and the Maroon Edition program is a shared reading experience for incoming students, returning classes, faculty, staff and other community members. Linda Morse, chairwoman of the Maroon Edition committee, said OdemboŌĆÖs personal ties to Maathai will make his perspective invaluable for Maroon Edition readers.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs an exciting opportunity for our students to be exposed to a world-class diplomat,ŌĆØ Morse said, ŌĆ£and to have someone coming from Kenya who knew Wangari Maathai is especially important.ŌĆØ
Morse said the genesis of OdemboŌĆÖs visit came shortly after the Maroon Edition committee chose ŌĆ£Unbowed.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Dr. Jerry Gilbert, our provost, made a personal visit at the Embassy of the Republic of Kenya in Washington, (D.C.) and at that time made a personal appeal to the ambassador of Kenya to come here,ŌĆØ Morse said. ŌĆ£Shortly after that, he agreed to come to MSU. We feel honored that he accepted our invitation.ŌĆØ
Odembo earned a bachelorŌĆÖs degree in Biology and Sociology from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine and a mastersŌĆÖ degree in community health from the University of Texas in Austin, Texas. He then used his American education to promote philanthropy, social responsibility, cross-sector partnerships and policy research, serving as a research officer for NairobiŌĆÖs African Medical Research Foundation and a member of the National Advisory Committee for Health Research.
As such, Morse said, Odembo is slated to tour MSU, including its division of agriculture, forestry and veterinary medicine, its African American Studies Program, the Social Science Research Center and the PresidentŌĆÖs Commission the Status of Minorities.
ŌĆ£At the time Dr. Gilbert visited the embassy back in June, the embassy staff indicated the ambassador was eager to learn about MSU and possible relationships we might have,ŌĆØ Morse said. ŌĆ£So, it makes good sense to show him some of the applied research units we have. He also had an interest in our African-American studies program, so he will be meeting those faculty. We have one faculty member whoŌĆÖs from Kenya ... (and) we have one Fulbright scholar from Kenya. HeŌĆÖll be meeting (them both).ŌĆØ

Zero Friction 3 Prong Hardwood Tees
Zero Friction Hardwood. Zero Friction Hardwood take the theory of Less Resistance equals more distance to a whole new level. Zero Friction Hardwood features 66% smaller contact area than traditional tees. Again, less contact are between the cup and the ball, the less spin which leads to further drives. Everyone knows the strength of Zero Friction Biodegradable is legendary. We had to make sure Zero Friction Hardwood weren't like tooth picks, so we turned them from a premium rock solid hardwood (hence the clever name)!
Is there another product in the world of golf that is hotter than Zero Friction Golf Tees? We think NOT!
"Zero Friction Golf Tees have taken on a life of their own", says Ken McDonald, PGA Tour Rep. "In my 15 years on Tour, I have never seen an accessory take off like this. It is truly amazing how the PGA Pros have accepted this product, and in such a short time. It just blows me away!"
In 14 short weeks Zero Friction Golf Tees have claimed 27 top 10 finishes and an unreal 5 professional victories! 2 Top 10's came last week at the Buick Open.
What is even more amazing, is how retailers and consumers have accepted this product. Zero Friction Golf Tees are flying off the shelf at retailers everywhere.
What makes the Zero Friction Golf Tee different from the other "performance" golf tees on the market?
Well, the Zero Friction Golf Tees are the first performance golf tee that looks like a traditional golf tee. Golf is a traditional game, and no one wants to hit a golf ball off some monstrosity. We wanted to be true to the integrity of the game, and the Zero Friction Golf Tee does just that.
The Zero Friction Performance Golf Tee flat out performs. There are other "alternative" golf tees on the market that claim they are the longest or the performance golf tees straightest, but the Zero Friction Golf Tee out performed them all! Independently tested by one of the leading golf laboratories in the world, the Zero Friction Golf Tee was hands down, the longest and most accurate performance golf tee ever produced.

According to reports, guard Melo Trimble will mull his draft option before confirming that he will return to Maryland. But he will only reportedly leave under one condition.
In the moments after his team lost to West Virginia on Sunday, it seems like head coach Mark Turgeon actually foreshadowed the commitment of a 5-star recruit.
Once news broke that one of the nation's best young prospects would be headed to Maryland, current players reacted on Twitter. Take a look.

Replacing solar light photosensors
The single point of failure in Garden type solar lights where they use a dawn to dusk sensor is that the sensor gets cooked in the sun and soon fails. Most of us throw away those solar lights if they are out of warranty. These photo cells can be replaced.
I am on a quest to locate replacement photosensor/resistor and repair otherwise useless solar lights that will end up in a landfill. These lights can be reused.
Please contact me with any ideas of sources to
In my experience, most low price solar garden lights do not have photosensor resistor, they use spec. as output voltage of solar PV panel to control the ON/OFF light. We also can try to replace the built-in rechargeable battery to let them working. For detail suggestion,please send mail to email@example.com
