sand oh sand, what kind of sand... Austin area help
Backstory: I'm 12 months into a new home in the Austin area. Builder laid Bermuda 419, did an okay job and it has filled in well. Mid summer I bought a reel mower off craigslist. (Tru-Cut 20" / 7 blade for $350 + $150 in tune up sharpening. A decent deal if I say so myself). Cut lawn at probably 1" to 1.5" through late last summer with minimal to no fertilizing. The yard looks quite nice but I'm ready for the next level... One interesting note is bermuda in the back is already quite green, I mowed it last weekend. Bermuda in the front is still dormant, very little green. I've sent soil samples to A&M so I'm curious to see if soil is the main factor in that.
In comes 2013 plans and the Bermuda Bible and the fact that I want to take the yard to the next level. The yard is "okay" but does have small (1" to probably 3" bumps / ankle breakers ) all over the place. Corner lot, estimate about 6000 sqft of bermuda front and back. Similar to other folks on the boards I've had 2 landscape companies come quote leveling and most of them have no idea what I'm talking about. If anyone in the Austin / Cedar Park area know of a good company that can level bermuda please send me their info. Assuming I get no responses here are my questions:
Sand - I've read the boards and "builder" or "sharp" seem to be the recommendation but no one in the area calls it that.
I found "builder" but its "washed" which is apparently not good. I can also find "bank sand - unprocessed" and "masonry sand". The pictures all look quite similar and appear to be the heavier or more desnse sand. Suggestions, comments, ideas?
I'm nervous to tackle quite a large job myself but the lack of knowledge or fear of spending a couple thousand to have it done wrong are pushing me to do it myself. Any tips, tricks, etc. will help. With current rain and warm weather I'm guessing end of February / early March I'll tackle it. I'll post progress and pictures to the board when I start.
First relax because it is too early to try to level your existing yard. You need to wait until the grass is growing vigorously.
The type of sand you are looking for will be a coarse grain sand with irregular sized grains. You do not want to use river bed or fine grained sand.
First question before I make any suggestions is do you have access to a riding lawn mower or lawn tractor.
First thing I will throw out there is to start simple. And you can do this now before the grass starts growing fast. Soak your yard until it is good and soft. Then use a lawn roller filled with water and make a few passes.
The rest I will save until you tell me if you have access to a riding lawn mower or not.
Another great thread can be found by googling "Bermuda lawn leveling with pics!!!". It's the first entry, and has the whole process with many pics.
TW, no I don't have access to a riding mower. Just one reel and one rotary push mowers. I suppose what has me thinking I can do it sooner than later is that my backyard is already greening and requiring mowing.
I thought I could use the "scalping" recommended at the beginning of the season to do the leveling at the same time. Sounds like a bad idea? If I do it later should I still scalp when it starts to green up and then again before leveling in say April or May?
I did yes, geat write up. I "might" be able to borrow a riding mower but not 100% sure. If not this is going to be a serious undertaking seeing how much leveling needs to be done. I might just spot level the really bad areas with a pick up truck load of sand rather than 8 to 10 yards worth.
My biggest question is can I level at the same time I do the first scalping of the year or do I need to wait until may or June? I've already mowed the backyard twice and the front yard is just starting to show signs of greening up. My scalping to start the season cant be more than a few weeks away. I'll post some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about.
last one... frontyard 4.
Looking forward to hearing back about 1st scalp + leveling or needing to wait for later in the year to level. Also, timing for first scalp with the backyard already greening up and the front yard much more dormant. Is this normal?
An alternative to bulk sand is bagged sand. You can return unused bags.
Texas-weed has mentioned leveling dormant bermuda. I don't remember if the approach was different than what you have read or not. I have seen bermuda smothered early in the spring by applying too much compost. It was covered to the point where even bermuda did not recover until the following season.
I googled lawn leveling in Austin:
The service that did mine last year used a much higher sand mix.
rager ... I got quite excited and emailed that company. Here is their extremely thorough response: "we Dillo dirt only. we only level st Augustine grass ". lovely. Seems like there is money to be made in the area as no one either A - knows how to do it or B - wants to do it.
Out of curiosity do you remember who you used and what they charged? The picture looks like they did a great job.
I'm leaning towards doing it myself and renting some equipment. I've convinced a neighbor to do it with me and rent a bobcat for loading the dirt into the back of a dump trailer pulled by a riding mower than drag it using a homemade drag. Can anyone comment on time of year and if I can do it soon with my backyard already greening up? It would be great to do it at the same time I scalp the yard at the beginning of the season.
Yes, of course. They sell just the sand/compost mix too for us in ATL. I used Level Lawn http://www.levellawns.com/beforeafter_list.aspx
They charged me a little over $800 (2 years ago every one was quoting $1200).
So here is a place that seems to best know whats going on. Does "fill sand" look or sound right? It looks really chunky. They also have masonry sand. Advice appreciated?
Here is a link that might be useful: sand options locally
Did you find a place to purchase the sand? I was also considering whittlesey, I have a similar lawn, about 6,000 sf of one year old tif bermuda. I can't even drop my rotary mower too low without bottoming right now. I'm following the guidelines in the bermuda bible and the lawn has done very well since it was installed, but I need to work on leveling this spring.

Pens admit Malkin is concussed, won't travel Tuesday
Feb 24, 2013, 11:03 PM EDT
After partially denying it earlier on Sunday, Dan Bylsma and the Pittsburgh Penguins confirmed fears that Evgeni Malkin is suffering from a concussion related to a collision with Erik Gudbranson on Friday.
Head coach Dan Bylsma said that he's experiencing some short-term memory loss. That being said, the 26-year-old's memory is reportedly improving and he's not experiencing other symptoms.
The reigning Hart Trophy winner won't travel with the team on a three-game road trip that begins on Tuesday. In case you're wondering, the Penguins' first game after that trio of road games is a March 4 game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. (Obviously he could miss more time than just those three contests, though.)
The Penguins beat the Lightning 5-3 without Malkin to take the top spot in the Eastern Conference on Sunday night.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Locked out of the medals
Much-ballyhooed Canada shut out for first time in 14 years
UFA, Russia -- This wasn't your lockout team of 1995 or 2005, but much more was expected at the 2013 world junior hockey championship of a Canadian team bolstered by the absence of the NHL.
Canada's coach and players were blunt after Saturday's bronze-medal loss to Russia, calling their fourth-place finish "unacceptable."
It was the first time since 1998 that a Canadian team left the tournament without medals around their necks, ending a streak of 14 straight podiums.
"I have the rest of my life to think on this and it's not going to be easy," Canadian head coach Steve Spott said.
A motivated Russian team, which hosted the tournament for the first time since 2001, defeated Canada 6-5 in overtime in Saturday's third-place game.
The United States, which beat Canada 5-1 in the semifinals, won gold with a 3-1 victory over Sweden. It was major turnaround from the Americans, who finished seventh at the 2012 tournament.
The Canadians lost the bronze-medal game and the semifinal to countries they had beaten in the preliminary round.
"As Canadians, we can't come here and not win a medal," forward Jonathan Huberdeau said.
Unlike other years, when some NHL clubs don't make their teenagers available to the Canadian team, this edition had access to the country's best 19-year-old talent because of the NHL lockout, minus one defenceman and one forward lost to injury prior to the tournament.
Hopes of a gold medal after three years of the lesser medals were high because of the inclusion of Edmonton Oilers centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, as well as players such as Huberdeau, Ryan Strome, Mark Scheifele and Dougie Hamilton, who would have been in the NHL this season if not for the lockout.
There were six returning from the squad that won bronze in 2012 in Calgary.
Nugent-Hopkins led the tournament in points with four goals and 11 assists in six games. The Canadian captain was named the tournament's top forward by the International Ice Hockey Federation directorate, as well as to the all-star team.
So what went wrong?
It was a sign the 1993 birth year was not deep in talent when a pair of 17-year-old forwards were named to the team in a lockout year.
For the second year in a row, Canada failed to take advantage of the bye to the semifinal and ended the tournament with losses to two countries that both played quarter-finals.
After leading the preliminary round in scoring, the firepower Canada had went silent in the semifinal. While the Canadians scored four power-play goals Saturday, they had just two at even-strength in their final two games.
The world junior hockey championship is unforgiving because of its compact schedule. After going 4-0 in the round-robin, 40 bad minutes against the Americans ended Canada's gold-medal hopes. A soft start against the Russia made bronze an uphill climb.
To their credit, the Canadians tied the game three times to send it to overtime, but Valerie Nichushkin scored the winner at 1:35 of the extra period in front of 7,617 in Ufa.
"Kind of disbelief, I think," Strome said of his reaction. "....there's no one more disappointed than the guys in that room. No one cares more."

JP Morgan has hired four derivatives marketers for its streamlined derivatives marketing unit, including two managing directors from Deutsche Bank. They are the first significant appointments by the US investment bank since a steady stream of senior departures began at the start of the year.Marc Badrichani joins as managing director and co-head of derivatives marketing for northern Europe, with Ian Wilson in London, and will report to Tony Best, European head of derivatives sales and marketing. Badrichani was previously head of the strategic solutions group for Deutsche Bank.
Nick Woolnough, who was head of financial institutions coverage for northern Europe in structured capital markets at Deutsche Bank, is appointed as managing director with responsibility for developing JP Morgan's strategic solutions business in northern Europe. Woolnough will also report to Best.
Meanwhile, Laurent Depraz joins JP Morgan in Paris as vice-president and head of derivatives marketing for France, Belgium and Luxembourg, and will report to Badrichani. In his previous role for Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, he headed the German bank's multi-asset marketing unit in Paris.
Toby Smith joins as vice-president responsible for the non-public sector derivatives unit in London for northern Europe, and will report to Wilson. Previously, Smith headed Citigroup's European corporate equity derivatives business.
The appointments would appear to mark an end to the departures that have afflicted JP Morgan in the past six months. A senior derivatives headhunter familiar with the appointees described the hires as 'significant', in particular that of Badrichani.
JP Morgan is keen to stress that these appointments are part of its drive to push its derivatives marketing business forward as a more streamlined unit. "Following the development of hybrid products in the past few years, we've been creating more joint ventures within the firm this year by bringing together teams from across our different client units – particularly between financial institutions, corporates and the public sector," said Best.
The most notable departure from JP Morgan this year was that of Antonio Polverino, who took with him an unprecedented 22 of his corporate derivatives sales team to Merrill Lynch in June – one of the largest single defections seen in the European derivatives business.
Polverino had only been promoted in March as head of corporate derivatives marketing in credit, rates and equities. A source familiar with the situation said Polverino left following disagreements over the bank's plan to integrate different business units.

Currently, optical coherence tomography (OCT), is not capable of obtaining molecular information often crucial for identification of disease. To enable molecular imaging with OCT, we have further developed a technique that harnesses transient changes in light absorption in the sample to garner molecular information. A Fourier-domain Pump-Probe OCT (PPOCT) system utilizing a 532 nm pump and 830 nm probe has been developed for imaging hemoglobin. Methylene blue, a biological dye with well-know photophysics, was used to characterize the system before investigating the origin of the hemoglobin PPOCT signal. The first in vivo PPOCT images were recorded of the vasculature in Xenopus laevis. The technique was shown to work equally well in flowing and nonflowing vessels. Furthermore, PPOCT was compared with other OCT extensions which require flow, such as Doppler OCT and phase-variance OCT. PPOCT was shown to better delineate tortuous vessels, where nodes often restrict Doppler and phase-variance reconstruction. (© 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

This investigation will use a combination of state-of-the-art sensor scene simulation, biogenic gas emission, and atmospheric modeling tools to study the use of SMAP- derived inundation maps and soil moisture in models quantifying fluxes of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrous oxide (N2O) globally. Methane is the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG), contributing more than half the radiative forcing of CO2. Wetlands and water bodies are the primary source of terrestrial CH4 emissions, but current remote sensing methods are incapable of making the frequent, high-resolution maps of wetlands and inundation needed to adequately model their role in GHG production. NASA's Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) mission will combine 1- to 3-km resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR), 40-km-resolution L-band radiometry, and 3-day revisit period to make a novel dataset that can provide frequent inundation maps superior to alternative methods. The project will use a proven sensor scene simulation and performance prediction approach to build an SMAP inundation retrieval algorithm and error model covering various ecosystem types, inundation scenarios, and sensor specifications. The Dynamic Land Surface Ecosystem Model (DLEM) will be used to simulate the sensitivity of regional ecosystem-atmosphere gas exchanges to inundation and as the basis for a combined SMAP-DLEM model to improve global GHG flux predictions. Validation of SMAP-DLEM will be conducted using atmospheric CH4 concentration measurements and the Weather Research and Forecasting/Stochastic Time- Inverted Lagrangian Transport (WRF/STILT) Lagrangian particle dispersion model. The objectives of the investigation are (a) characterize the sensitivity of land ecosystem model GHG fluxes to seasonal inundation, (b) characterize the ability of SMAP to measure seasonal inundation extent and duration, (c) assess the impact that SMAP mission inundation and soil moisture data can have in daily terrestrial GHG emission modeling, and (d) prepare to utilize the SMAP dataset in the SMAP-DLEM GHG emission model.

ArrowHead Research publishes results regarding company's Dynamic Polyconjugate
Arrowhead Research announced the publication of data demonstrating that high level target gene knockdown with low doses of cholesterol-siRNA is possible in non-human primates using the company's Dynamic Polyconjugate delivery system and a novel co-injection strategy. This new delivery approach dramatically increases the efficacy of cholesterol-siRNA and, together with the co-injection strategy, simplifies the manufacturing process to enable a commercially scalable delivery vehicle for RNAi therapeutics. The company is using this strategy and a next generation DPC polymer in ARC-520, its hepatitis B clinical candidate. The paper titled, "Co-injection of a targeted, reversibly masked endosomolytic polymer dramatically improves the efficacy of cholesterol-conjugated siRNAs in vivo," was published online ahead of print in the journal Nucleic Acid Therapeutics to be featured in the December issue

User Bio
Norwegian Theatre Academy offers a unique undergraduate education in theatre under the auspices of the University College of Østfold in Fredrikstad.
We welcome aspiring performing artists and scenographers who wish to explore the interaction between visual art and theatre, between theatre and society, and between theory and practice.
Through a program that emphasizes collaboration between our two degree programs - scenography and acting - we provide students with training that combines the skills, knowledge and methods from conceptual visual art with the skills, techniques and methods of classical and contempora ry theatre. Particular focus is placed on physical theatre, devised performance, and multi-disciplinary work.
We offer students the chance to study with international guest artists and teachers in an intimate setting that allows close individual attention in both independent projects and directed productions. Our goals are to challenge students to think about performance and scenography in innovative ways, to help them develop their own artistic practice, and to prepare them to meet the professional demands of working with directors, choreographers, film-makers, composers, playwrights and other artists in both traditional and experimental genres. We are a meeting place for students and artists from around the world who are a vital part of creating tomorrow's artistic expression.
