The News in Jersey: Broadstreet Ads
in News
This week we sat down with Kenny Katzgrau from Broadstreet Ads to talk about some of the latest news in online advertising.
In his most recent blog post, Kenny discussed some of the shortcomings of standard banner ads, especially when it comes to smaller, indie publishers who find themselves in competition with larger publishers.
Kenny worked on Yahoo's Right Media Exchange prior to co-founding Broadstreet with John Crepezzi in March 2012. The Broadstreet team consisted of John Ward of Red Bank Green, Kenny Katzgrau who had recently left Yahoo, and John Crepezzi, formerly of Patch. They set out to build a powerful set of tools for the independent and modern digital news publisher − tools that could be used to network and build a more expansive business than previously possible.
For those of you who missed the live broadcast or didn't get to ask your question, please continue the discussion in the comments section of the post on the NJ News Commons homepage!

Newark New Jersey Native @ChaosDaRealest Speaks with @VickensMoscova
Replacing swift left and right hooks for hooks in captivating compositions, Born 2 Win Entertainment Recording Artist "Chaos" who was born Jameel Laboo, is the next contender fully prepared to compete for Hip Hop distinction. A proficient boxer, the New Jersey native used boxing as a stress reliever until he realized music enabled him to do the same thing and that it was his true calling.
Chaos began writing music as a way to just get his feelings out. But after hearing the late Tupac Shakur it became his dream. Growing up in Newark, New Jersey wasn't easy. He was exposed to the many hardships of his rough, poverty stricken neighborhood. His father was a drug addict which led his mother to take on the responsibility of being a father as well. His mother worked very hard to provide for her children but she wasn't able to keep up with the mounting bills.Chaos decided to help his mother and took to the streets very young.
Newark is a city listed as one of the deadliest places in the world was his home. But he always used music as his get away from his reality. The neighborhood loved to hear him rap, so his hood fame grew fast. But unfortunately his criminal cases did as well. Chaos lost trial, and had his 1st child in the same year. As he sat in prison he knew he had to make a big decision. And upon his release that's what he did. Go hard with his music and raise his daughter. Chaos came home on a bigger level than he was before he left.

Delta Prize for Global Understanding
The Delta Air Lines and administered by the University of Georgia, is awarded on an annual basis to individuals who by their own initiative have provided opportunities for greater understanding among cultures and nations. The inaugural Delta Prize went to Jimmy Carter, Rosalynn Carter, and the Carter Center in 1999.
The Athens artists Barbara Mann and Gary Noffke designed in 1998. The medallion portrays the earth with the abstracted continents in low relief.
Recipients of the Delta Prize are:
1999 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter and the Carter Center
2000 Desmond Tutu
2001 Mikhail Gorbachev
2002 Sadako Ogata
2004 Vaclav Havel
2005 Gertrude Ibengwe Mongella
2006 Ted Turner
2007 Nelson Mandela
2008 Martti Ahtisaari
2009 Mohamed ElBaradei
2012 Romeo A. Dallaire
The Delta Prize Program, located in the Center for the Humanities and Arts, accepts nominations at all times of the year. A Student Selection Committee, composed primarily of University of Georgia Foundation Fellows, screens nominations in the fall semester of every academic year and provides a short list to the international Delta Prize Board, which chooses the Delta Prize recipient at its annual meeting. The prize is normally bestowed at an award ceremony held in the spring.

Close, we lose sight of it by a park and decide to sit on a bench and have lunch. A baguette with Gouda cheese and peppered salami. The meats and cheeses are so much better here. I don't think they are quite as processed as ours. There is a continuous stream of people walking by as something is definitely going on today ...

Hey lickemlowrock,
The yellow pill with E712 is Endocet 10/325, which is actually Oxycodone with acetominophen. The white pill with M523 is Oxycodone with acetominophen 10/325. So they are both the same thing just one is brand name while the other is generic name, respectively.
Best wishes,
I kinda figured that is was all in the brand but now I know 4 sure since I got clarification from you... Thanks:)

1992 Toyota Camry Door Handle
Bought and installed the drivers side handle, have not gotten around to this one yet. Should take about 15 minutes, the longest part of the replacement is removing the door panel.
The products all worked out very well and I found the website gave complete enough info on the product so I was comfortable making the purchase knowing I had the correct item.
Again great product application listing and selection.
I have been a professional mechanic for over 13 years. I am happy with the function and the assembly. The outer edge of the handle protrudes a bit more than the original, but that is the only complaint I have. Good hinge pins, springs, and all the nut inserts lined up correctly.
The part work great, the ups delivered my part to the wrong address, and they refunded my money on the part even though it wasn't their fault. Great costumer service. A little slow.
It would have been good to have clear instructions on the replacement of this part. I had to put it in twice to get it right. The order of putting in the bolts and then putting in the part is important. (The back most bolt goes in before the handle goes in to the door. This part is better than the last one I put in (more robust) but doesn't fit quite as well.

Originally written on State of Hockey News | Last updated 11/4/14
I think just about anyone in the world understands the emotions that come with disappointment. For kids, it might be the disappointment they didn't get that gift they really wanted. For adults it might be being being rejected by an employer or maybe being denied a promotion. The disappointment is tough to deal with and a person may feel as though they are stuck in an emotional rut for weeks. It may be tough for those feeling major disappointment to feel 'good' about the things they may be doing at that time and they may lack the motivation to due tasks they normally would do with a cheerful spirit. I wonder if that may explain the current performance of the Houston Aeros who have lost their last 6 games over the last two weeks; mostly coinciding with the conclusion of the NHL Lockout. For a team like the Minnesota Wild who has lots of young (and promising) players in Houston the one week training camp was brief and for almost all of those players given a 'look' they ended up r...

ATLANTA — Atlanta police are investigating gunfire on the city's southwest side that left two men wounded.
Atlanta police said they received a call late Monday night reporting that a person had been shot on Beryl Street. When officers arrived, they found a man shot multiple times.
Police say he was taken to a hospital and is listed in critical condition.
Investigators say that a few seconds later, they got a second call of another shooting victim nearby.
Police found that person at house on Hobson Street. The victim suffered gunshot wounds to his stomach and leg. Authorities say he is expected to survive.
WSB-TV (http://bit.ly/1GLyxX3) reports that investigators are looking into the possibility that the two men were in a shootout and might have shot each other.

Green Stuff Carl Lahser 1 Many of you have seen these articles in the past. They were sent to the bases and published in the Bexar County Master Gardener and other local gardening newsletters between 1996 and 2003. Table of Contents Page 3. Biostimulants 4. Black Plastic 5. "Chapstick" for your Plants 6. IPM for Crackgrass Control 8. Christmas Tree Engineering 9. House Plants 10. How to Choose a Lawn Grass 12. Making Water Wetter 13. Mowing is Serious Business 14. Selecting Trees for your landscape 15. Slow Release and Weed and Feed Fertilizers 17. San Antonio Soils 19. Thirsty Gardeners 20. Tree Lesson 21. Winterize 23. Landscapes Going Wild 2 Biostimulants Most gardeners are familiar with fertilizer and trace elements. A minority of gardeners has heard of biostimulants. This group of gardeners is divided much like people who use or don't use herbal remedies. They either swear by them or at them. There are a lot of articles on this subject and the individual materials on the Internet. It is an interesting subject and I will do my best to be neutral. Biostimulants are described as substances that seem to have a positive impact on plant growth. These substances are not nutrients or pesticides. They are reported to stimulate growth, enhance plant metabolism, increase chlorophyll efficiency, promote resistance to soil pathogens, disease and pest, and increase crop production. They increase stress resistance, act as antioxidants, and influence hormonal activity. A deficiency of various biostimulants is reported to result in poor root systems, reduced nutrient uptake, reduced chlorophyll production and efficiency, and less resistance to stress, diseases and pests. Biostimulants are substances that are vital to and normally produced by plants. A number of products are available that can be applied to provide a head start for the plant by providing some or all of these bioorganic complexes. Biostimulants include: Phytohormones or plant chemical messengers; Cytokines that impact bud and root growth, apical dominance, cell division, the effects of salts, and aging; Auxins that control cell elongation and cell wall elasticity; Gibberillic acids that control cell elongation and germination and act as a plant growth regulator; Abseisic acids (ABA) that act as growth inhibitors, control dormancy, regulate abscission (leaf drop and callus production) and dehiscence (seed release), control water regulation and impact leaf color; Antioxidants that protect plants by controlling free radicals; and lipids which include soluble enzymatic antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotenes, catalese (hydrogen peroxide metabolism), and glutathione (amino acids). Biostimulants are available as kelp extracts, mixtures of mycorrhizae, humic acid extracts, activated manure, and other proprietary products. They can be added as foliar sprays and planting additives. There are specifications available transplanting trees and shrubs and bare rooted plants, flower bed preparation and retrofit application. Products include Superthrive, Diehard, 3D, Bio-Magic, Myco-Magic, Plant- Wise, and products sold by Chemsearch and Gardenville. Some of these products are available mixed with fertilizer and soil amendments. 3 Black Plastic Conventional wisdom says black plastic under landscape rock will keep grass from growing in the rock. The weeds that grow in the rock are usually from seed blown in that grows in dust and dirt blown or tracked in that settles into the rock. Many seeds like acorns from the neighbor's trees have six inches of root before any leaves appear. If the root finds a hole in the plastic you pull up the plastic trying to remove the plant. If not, the roots spread on top of the plastic and the weeds grow anyway. Besides not serving the intended purpose, the plastic under landscape rock is not a good idea. Rain cannot get to the soil. Soil moisture cannot escape from the soil and can cause sour soil. Termites live under the plastic. Mosquitoes can lay eggs in the water held in pockets on top of the plastic under the rock. And the feeder roots of desirable trees and shrubs often spread on top of the plastic rather than in the soil. I just found another reason not to have black plastic under the stone. I have recently had the expense of leveling my house, redoing some of the landscaping and repairing interior cracks resulting from the settling. The engineer pointed out that the black plastic was a contributor to the house settling by channeling all the rain runoff to the foundation of my house. This proves that no good deed goes unpunished. My front yard slopes up to the street and is in total shade. The previous elderly owner installed three inches of landscape rock on top of a layer of 10 mil black plastic. This eliminated mowing and solved the no-grass-will-grow-in-the-shade problem. I had been removing the plastic as it protruded through the rock. On advice of the engineer and a little common sense I recently removed all of it to eliminate the disadvantages of the plastic. I worked out a system for removing the plastic. Using a square-bladed shovel I uncovered a foot wide strip of plastic along the sidewalk. I rolled the plastic under and moved the rock from the next strip of plastic. This continued until I had the plastic removed and the rock spread out again. I could remove about 200 square feet of plastic an hour. This means a normal 1200 square foot front yard is an all day job with lots of stops for water. Don't forget to warm up before starting work like this. Watch the back with good lifting techniques. Don't forget the sunscreen and a hat and gloves. 4 "ChapstiCk" for your plants Chapstick or other lip balms are used to keep your lips from drying and cracking. A category of agricultural chemicals, called anti-transpirants or anti- desiccants, perform a similar function for plants. These products are reported to reduce water loss by the plant, increase watering interval, reduce effect of heat, cold, frost and UV, reduce transplant shock, reduce windburn and salt spray damage, provide some fungicidal treatment, and act as a green insecticide treatment and repellent. These products may be latex and acrylic (Anti-Stress 550), low molecular weight polymers such as di-1-p-menthene (Wilt-Pruf), or liquid potassium silicate (Dyna- Gro"S Pro-Tek). Others are proprietary products (Hot Pepper Wax, Shield, Transfilm, and Vapo-Guard). Cost is $30-40/gallon with dilution rates of 20/1 and 40/1 The nursery trade uses these chemicals to prevent water loss during transplanting of trees, shrubs, seedlings and potted plants and to extend the life of palletized sod. Bulb producers use an anti-desiccant to protect bulb during processing. Landscapers use anti-desiccants to reduce wind burn caused by high winds from winter storms and hurricanes, salt spray damage in coastal areas, and to protect sensitive plants from freeze damage. These chemicals can increase cold hardiness by 4-6 degrees. It is also used to prolong plant life in case of severe drought. Fruit growers use these products to increase cold hardiness and to prevent cherries and peaches from absorbing water and splitting. 5 Integrated Pest Management for "CRACK GRASS" Crack grass is any plant that grows in cracks in sidewalks, streets and other paved surfaces or almost any place that a seed, soil and moisture can get together. They are an indicator of future problems that could result in broken pavements and potholes. In some cases like the tumbleweed the seed will germinate with no soil and grow for some time while the roots are looking for a source of moisture and nutrients. I was impressed this spring with the variety of green things that were growing in the joints between the bricks that make up my patio in San Antonio. I identified twenty-three species before I turned the string edger on them (Table 1). Two obvious questions are: "Where did these weeds come from?" and "How do you get rid of them or prevent their growth." For some of the plants the where is easy. The star jasmine invaded from the neighbor"s fence. St. Augustine and Bermudagrass invaded from the lawn. The champanele grapes cover the patio cover. Asparagus fern was a potted plant that gave up the ghost last year. Some hitchhiked like Bedstraw and Wild Carrot with their spiny seed coat. Table 1. Plants growing in between patio bricks grouted with sand in San Antonio TX, 23 Mar 93. Plants are presented in phylogenetic order. Grasses Bermudagrass Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.

Prickly Sowthistle Sonchus asper (L.) Hill Common Sowthistle Sonchus oleraceus L. Common Dandelion Taraxacum officinale Weber ex Wiggers Some, like Dandelion and Sow Thistle, came by air. Ruellia projected its seed from exploding seed pods. Mullein throws its tiny seeds with the whipping action of its tall seed head. The others were probably mechanically transferred on shoes, clothing, the neighbor"s cat - who knows. Integrated pest management or IPM is using the least harmful control method to solve a pest problem including inspection and evaluation to determine tolerable levels of weeds, etc. and if any treatment needs to be done. Using IPM philosophy preventing the growth of these invaders is easier and cheaper than removing them after they are established. Habitat removal. Remove the habitat by eliminating cracks. Cement the brick in place or replace the brick with concrete. Exclusion. A screened enclosure would help keep stray seed out. Chemical control. A preemergent herbicide mixed with a broad-spectrum herbicide like glyphosate applied twice a year will remove any growth and keep the seeds from germinating. Removing the vegetation is relatively easy. Mechanical. Use of a string edger or hand picking works. Hot water poured directly a plant will kill the plant. Chemical. Salt will kill plants as will oil but both of these are hard on the environment. Spot treatment with a herbicide, like glyphosate, would kill most plants. It will take a week or more for them to die and will result in dead weeds instead of live ones. Another disadvantage is herbicide spray may drift in the air or residual dissolved in the water run off the patio. This could kill non-target plants like an adjacent lawn. I like the bricks and the open space so I decided to use non-chemical, short- term control. I cleared a path through the patio with a string edger and removed by hand anything I didn't want growing where it had chosen to put down its roots. I allowed a few plants of Ruellia, and Dayflower with pretty flowers to grow around the edges of the patio and potted a number of the grape seedlings for future use. I enjoy observing the diversity of "crack grass", an interesting variety of plants that tolerate and thrive in disturbed areas. 7 Christmas Tree Engineering The season for Christmas trees has just passed. During the past three months I have seen hundreds of decorated trees. Some were well done while others were not. Looking at good cross sample of decorated trees I subconsciously tried to determine what made the difference. Whether the trees were real or good quality artificial trees made little difference As any good engineering project the siting of the tree was important. It had to be the center of attraction. It could not interfere with traffic. Utilities had to be available. Procurement of the tree and decorations, transportation and a labor pool had to be programmed and scheduled. Trees varied in size and shape and location but everything else being equal, the best looking trees had a good infrastructure. Like any city the real trees had a water system to keep the tree look alive and to reduce needle shedding. The water had to be renewed to reduce the fire risk, as water was lost to transpiration or evaporation. There were provisions for waste disposal such as a ground cloth to catch needles. The electrical system was conveniently located and properly sized to prevent overloading the circuit. Hazardous materials were minimized or used in a safe manner such as application of antidesicants and flocking. Air pollutants had to be considered in the event of allergies. Open flame must be avoided. Decorating, whether simple or complex, began with a theme that progressed to a plan. Jobs were assigned and scheduled. Materials were organized. Site preparation was completed. The trimming, including the lights, began from the trunk outwards and the top down. The lighting was applied first. Tinsel was applied last and hung individually rather than thrown by the handful. Programmed obsolescence came into play after Christmas. Real trees are not expected to last much more than three weeks. The tree removal process is the reverse of the setup with the exception of the final disposal. Some form of refuse collection normally composts, burns or buries the tree. Storage must be programmed for ornaments, lights and other Christmas material including artificial trees. Simple, aint it. 8 House Plants Houseplants are an extension of the outdoors and of gardening into you living and work areas. Houseplants can also be the finishing touch to your interior decoration. Picking the correct plant for interior application is important for both to the plant"s survival and the overall effect on the room. The simple solution is the plastic plants. They come in a variety of colors and sizes of vegetation and flowers. They are insensitive to light requirements and the only care is an occasional dusting. The better solution is real plants but like pets living plants require the proper surroundings and at least weekly care. Plants assist in maintaining good interior air quality. They provide oxygen and absorb several indoor air pollutants. To perform this function the plant needs sufficient light, moisture and nutrients. Since plants cannot select their location you must do it for them. You need to match the plant to the available light. You can use a light meter that may be available where you intend to buy your plants or you can use the shadow method. The shadow method is to place your hand between the light source and where you want the plant to live. Direct sunlight or a strong shadow is necessary for many plants. Supplemental lighting can be installed. Many plants will thrive in indirect sun indicated by a weak shadow. In the outside these plants would be shade tolerant or understory plants. A very weak or no shadow is just the place for plastic plants. Once the plants are in place the soil moisture needs to be checked at least weekly depending on the plants moisture requirement. Moisture should be checked more often in the winter with the heat on and the air is dry. A moisture meter can be used but a pencil or you finger work well. A houseplant fertilizer can be added with the water every time you water. The plants grow towards the light and should be turned around weekly to promote even growth. Dust should be removed from the leaves periodically. Plants should be chosen for their use in the decorating scheme. Preferred size is proportional to 2/3 the ceiling height. Small trees work well behind things that hide the trunk and pot. If the plant and pot are visible you might pick a plant with leaves from the pot upwards. A short plant can be used if you raise the pot. Short plants can be used to fill in under tall plants. Like the other accessories in the room a live plant or two can add to the ambiance and improve your quality of life. Just remember plants and pets need personal care. 9 How to Choose a Lawn Grass I recently attended a ChemSearch seminar during which sports turf characteristics were discussed. Some of the information also pertained to lawns. I did not know that selecting grass could be so complicated. Here are some of my notes. Grasses basically come in cool season and warm season based on optimum growth and ambient air temperature. Cool season grasses flourish between 60 season grasses can survi In San Antonio there is a 50% chance of a frost after 15 February and only a 10% chance of freezing weather after 1 March. There is a 10% chance of frost after 20 October increasing to 50% after 10 Nov. Soil is important since it supports and feeds the turf. The soil should be examined for texture and tested for nutrients or soluble salts and pH. Some species like Bermuda and St Augustine tolerate our alkaline soils better. Several varieties of Paspalum tolerate saline soils. And coastal conditions. Different grasses have different fertilizer requirements so picking one to go with the soil will cut your fertilizer expenditure. As an example Common Bermuda needs 0.4-0.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet per month. Although fertilizer is often applied twice a year more frequent applications or a slow release fertilizer is recommended. This will reduce spikes in growth and make mowing easier. Removing the grass clippings can increase the nitrogen requirement by up to 5%. Water should be considered as to availability, quality, cost and regulatory restrictions. Water requirements differ with variety of grass and the season. Water application is a year around requirement since winter winds can be as bad on grass as summer sun. A water audit should be considered to determine specific use requirements and watering schedules. Wear tolerance and wear characteristics should be considered depending on the purpose of your lawn. Besides esthetics and the cooling effect of the turf are you going to have kids and dogs using the grass? Common Bermuda and rye grass have a high wear tolerance while Zoysia and fescues are medium and St. Augustine has a low wear tolerance. Mowing requirements should be considered. What mowing equipment do you have - a rotary or a reel mower? Common Bermuda and St Augustine can be cut with a rotary mower at 1.5 – 2.5 inches. Hybrid Bermuda and Zoysia that need to be cut at one inch or less need a reel mower. Mowing frequency can range from daily to every 5-7 days depending on type of turf and desired appearance. 10 Look at labor available. The size and topography of the lawn and equipment available should be considered when picking the grass type. Mowing, fertilizing, aeration, pest treatment, irrigation all take time. What budget do you have to work with? This applies to both new lawns and lawn renovations. Initial cost varies depending in the grass species and variety. New hybrids usually cost more than Common Bermuda. Bermuda and rye seed are least expensive. Sprigging comes next with installing sod being the most expensive. Sod results in instant lawn. Are you going to include an irrigation system? This is an added cost but can well worth the expense. If you do add an irrigation system you can add fertilizer and pesticide through the system. It is probably a good idea to include the first year mowing and maintenance in the installation cost estimate at the time of installation. Considering the value of your investment it is prudent to prepare a lawn maintenance plan for the year. Items include frequency of mowing, trimming, aeration and fertilization, water cost, over-seeding, top dressing, and other routine maintenance. If you do this for each type of grass you consider you can compare all the costs to install and maintain different grasses. Once the lawn is installed you should be willing to implement the plan. Planning a new lawn or renovating the existing requires a lot of work and thought. I think I will let my wife make the decision while I go fishing. 11 Making Water Wetter The temperature is rising and the aquifer and lake levels are falling. There is heated discussion on when we should begin water conservation as if we should ever not conserve water. I recently received information from several companies on the use of wetting agents to conserve water. Surface-active wetting agents are also called nonionic surfactants. They reduce cohesive and adhesive surface tension of the water allowing the molecules to spread out and bind more easily to surfaces. Water does not form beads or run off. One key factor that is not often mentioned is that if you don"t have water then wetting agents won"t help. Most soil that supports turf and other plants is hydrophilic* and would not benefit from a wetting agent. Lawns, golf courses, pastures and croplands might benefit from the application of a wetting agent IF the soil is hydrophobic or steeply sloped. A hydrophobic* soil is one that has a thatch covering or where the soil particles are covered with a water resistant coating. Localized dry spots in the turf can be caused by the presence of acidic organics such as fungal mycelia from Toadstools. Most of our water this time of year is from irrigation or comes in scattered showers. A wetting agent will get the water into the soil more easily and evenly and decrease run-off. Hydrophobic soils are different from tight soils where the soil expands and contracts and soil particles and pores in the soil are small causing water to penetrate slowly. To find out if your soil is hydrophobic put a few drops of water on bare soil and see how long it takes for the drops to soak in. If it takes more than a few seconds the soil may be hydrophobic. Application of common detergents such as Dove may be a short-term solution. Research has shown that long-term use of detergents tends to leach nutrients from the soil but can be useful to treat salt build-up. Common agricultural surfactants include chemicals like dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid, alpha-olefin sulfonates, some fluorinated surfactants and some silicone compounds, glycols, free fatty acids and isopropanol. Most are compatible with common pesticides and fertilizers but make sure to read the package label. Brands include Aqueduct, Big Sur 90, Cide-Kick, Dura-Wet, Hydra-Wet, Hydro Force, Infiltrix, Naiad, NoburnN, Octowet, Pene-Turf, Premier, Primer 604, Profile, PsiMATRIC, SilEnergy, Sun Wet, Sun Energy, Surf Side, Tee Off, and Water-in. A typical application rate is 4 ounces per acre applied two to 12 times a year. Cost ranges from $3 to $10 per gallon. * Hydrophilic = water loving; Hydrophobic = water fearing 12 Mowing is Serious Business For a little over a hundred years homeowners have had a passion for a neatly mowed and trimmed lawn. In recent years about 100,000 people, including professionals are injured every year in mowing accidents. About a third of these accidents occur while using riding mowers. About one hundred people are killed in riding mower accidents, while walk-behind mower deaths are rare. One of the major differences in the number of injuries is that since 1982 new push mowers have been equipped with an operator-presence control system (commonly called a "dead-man" control), that stops the mower blade within 3 seconds after the operator releases the safety lever. It was several years later that similar controls were required for riding mowers. Before you mow you need to know about your machine. Read the manual. Know the safety features and how they work. Do not disable the safety devices. Dress properly, with long pants, heavy-duty shoes with slip-proof soles, and nothing loose or dangling that can get caught in the moving parts. Never operate the mower under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Like when driving an automobile, the first thing to learn is how to stop your mower. Fill the gas tank only when the mower is cool. Keep the mower clean and keep the blade sharp and balanced. Turn off the mower to adjust the mower height. If you need to work on the mower, always turn it off and disconnect the spark plug wire. Keep your hands and feet out from under the mower deck and away from moving parts. Mowing is not a spectator sport. The blade spins 3000 revolutions or more per minute and can throw rocks and other items, 50 feet or more at over 200 mph. Clean up the yard before beginning to mow so that toys or golf balls, rocks or other items don"t get cut up. Stop immediately if you hit something; turn off the mower, and inspect for damage. Don"t mow wet grass. You might slip. Wet grass will clog the machine and wet grass will leave those little windrows to rake up later. Watch your footing and always push the machine away from you. Keep the mower flat; don"t lift the front end over tall grass, curbs, etc. Turn off the blade crossing a driveway or walk, especially those with gravel. Mow across a slope and always watch your footing. Mow safely and you will be around to enjoy your lawn. 13 Selecting Trees for your Landscape Forest. Brush. Woods. Grove. Copse. Thicket. Jungle. Landscape. What ever you may call it the one thing they have in common is the presence of trees. Tall trees. Short trees. Trees that grow fast or slow. Fruit or nut trees. Trees for lumber, industrial chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. What kind of tree do you need? We use trees for shade. An average oak tree gives us about 125 tons of evaporative cooling equivalent a year. This same tree is capable of removing 7.5 tons of air pollutants each year. Urban trees should be selected carefully. Mature size and form should be considered. A Burr Oak that is 60 at maturity with a canopy covering a quarter acre would be a poor choice for a garden home. Live Oaks naturally droop to the ground and do not make good street trees unless provisions are made for routine pruning. Leaves and fruit should be considered. The large Burr Oak acorns and the fruit of sycamores and black walnuts are rough on both mower and mowing machine. The leaves of sweet gum and Burr Oak are large, hard and can cover a long distance in a light breeze. Some trees produce a lot of sticky yellow pollen that can be a nuisance if you intend to park near them. Trees like fruited mulberry produce fruit can stain almost anything and attract birds that spread the staining quality all over the neighborhood. Fruit trees should be selected only if the fruit is to be used. The ripening fruit attracts birds. Fallen fruit can attract wild animals and fruit flies. Remember that it takes 5-8 years for a fruit tree to get into full production. Look at the roots. The large buttress roots extending out from the trunk of oaks can destroy a mower. Covering these roots can be injurious to the tree. Check your trees – the trunk should show a flare at the bottom or they are planted too deep. Consider what you want to do under the tree. The spreading shade can eliminate a backyard vegetable garden, stop the bloom on roses or eliminate grass. In deep shade mulch beds or shade tolerant ground cover should be considered. 14 Slow Release And "Weed and feed" fertilizers How do you buy fertilizer? Whatever is on sale? Cheapest available? You really need to test your soil then look at the recommended formulation then look at both cost and value. Some fertilizers contain micronutrients or pre- or post-emergent herbicides. If cost is your driver you might notice that, when you apply a high nitrogen fertilizer, you almost need to jump out of the way of the grass. It grows rapidly for a couple weeks then requires another fertilizer application. During this period you may have to mow twice a week. If you are tired of frequent fertilizer applications and mowing, you might want to try a slow release fertilizer. These fertilizers release nitrogen evenly over several months requiring less frequent mowing. Slow or controlled release fertilizers are not new. Some are the natural organics like manure and sewage sludge. Other slow release products are uncoated liquid or granular products such as methylene urea, urea formaldehyde triazones, and isobutylidenediurea. These chemicals are more stable and less soluble thereby releasing nitrogen more slowly. Another class of slow release fertilizers is the coated fertilizers. This is a soluble nitrogen source coated with something to slow the release. Some formulators add a little uncoated nitrogen for a fast green up. The most common coated fertilizer, sulfur-coated urea, is a particle of urea coated with layers of sulfur and sealed in a layer of wax. Once the wax coat is damaged by water, sun, or bacteria there is a catastrophic (sudden) nitrogen release. Due to variations in coating thickness the breakdown can take up to 3-4 months. A more efficient nitrogen release system is urea with a polymer coating. Nitrogen is released by diffusion through the coating. Osmocote was one of the first. Improvements include combining sulfur and polymer coatings and the addition of zinc ammonium acetate (Prospect) to increase uptake efficiency. The polymer coatings can be engineered to release nitrogen for specific needs such as temperature or moisture or for an extended release period. You should check the label or with the manufacturer for content and release patterns. Many combinations of pesticide and fertilizer can be bought. Although this appears to be a great labor saver you lose the advantage of timing. The most effective time for pesticide application for many weeds and insect pests is not the best time for fertilization. Most of these products are granular since the manufacturers can combine the chemical into a product that can be spread uniformly. Liquid premixes are not economical for the manufacturers because liquid combinations are easily mixed by lawn-care companies and there is not a sufficient homeowner market. 15 The most common combination is a pre-emergent herbicide with a fertilizer. Common pre-emergent herbicides include Atrizine, Benefin, Dithiopyr (Dimension), Isoxaben (Gallery), Oryzalin (Surflan), Oxadiazon (Ronstar), Pendimethalin (Pendulum), and Prodiamine (Barricade) with various fertilizer formulations. Post-emergent broadleaf herbicide combinations include 2,4-D, 2,4-DP, MCPP, Dicamba (Trimec), Triclopyr, and Clopyralid (Confront) alone or in combinations mixed with various formulations of fertilizer. Fungicide or insecticide combinations are also available. The most common fungicide is PCNB. Insecticides include Bendiocarb (Turcam), Bifenthrin (Talstar), Chlorpyrifos (Dursban), Deltamethrin, Diazinon, Halofenozide (Mach 2), Midacloprid (Merit), and Isofenphos (Oftanol). 16 San Antonio Soils It's fall in San Antonio. The grass is yellow and the water you apply puddles in your lawn or runs off instead of soaking in. What"s a gardener to do? It"s most likely your soil, so the mantra in San Antonio is: amend; amend; amend. Soil serves several purposes. It mechanically supports plants and it stores nutrients and holds water to keep the plants healthy. Here in Bexar County according to an extensive soil survey done in the 60"s, we have upwards of 20 different soil series all with different names. Generally though, we boil them down to five more easily identified soil types. The hill country is made up of stony moderately permeably limestone. When mixed with clay it is what we refer to as caliche. Farther down into mid San Antonio on the east and west sides, thick sticky clay soils are found, commonly referred to Blackland or gumbo clay. To the eastern and south part of the county are post oak savannah soils, a sandy loam type. And lastly, the deep sand of the far south part of Bexar County. Not much has changed since the 60"s however, even though Bexar County has grown by leaps and bounds. The general advice for all soil types is to add organic matter to build and amend the soils. And of course fertilize for plant and soil health. Soil Nutrients and PH There are three macronutrients. Nitrogen (N) is responsible for growth, color, rooting success and disease resistance. Low N shows up as an even yellow tinge to the turf. Too much N decreases disease tolerance and accelerates growth. Phosphorus (P) is needed for root growth, fruit set, and energy conversion. Too much P interferes with iron and zinc uptake. Too little causes off color green or purple turf. Potassium (K) is needed for photosynthesis. K leaches easily from the soil and too little will decrease disease resistance. There are several micronutrients that are vital to turf growth. Magnesium (MG) is needed for photosynthesis and a deficiency will cause yellowing. Calcium (Ca) is involved in cell division and cell growth and a deficiency will cause a reddish brown turf. Iron (Fe) is required for chlorophyll production and green grass. Too much P can lock up iron and cause yellowish patches. Other micronutrients or trace elements include manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), boron (B), chlorine (Cl), and nickel (Ni). These are available in the soil. Soil PH has an impact of interfering with nutrient uptake. A PH reading is the measure of the acidity or the alkalinity of the soil, with 0 being acid and 14 alkaline. Plants grow between PH 3.5 to 10, with most plants preferring a PH of near 7. For the most part Bexar county soils test at or around 8.5, very alkaline. Soil testing can indicate the level of nutrients present and changes necessary to correct turf problems. Soil testing should be done before installing or 17 replacing a lawn and every 3 to 5 years thereafter. Testing should be done every year if you are trying to correct a major nutrient deficiency or to change the PH of the soil. Minimum testing should include PH, phosphorus and potassium. Soil testing can pay for itself in preventing wasted fertilizer and water, and provide the recipe for a healthy lawn. Soil Amendments It makes good sense to amend the soil of your landscape on a seasonally regular basis. Fall is easy because all you really have to do is apply a winterizer to your turf. You don"t need to fertilize trees and shrubs this time of year, but an application of compost and a fresh layer of mulch will protect them during the winter. Then in the spring, apply a slow release feritlizer to the whole landscape. It"s also the time to apply a thin layer of compost to your lawn. Fall is the perfect time to start a compost pile, so don"t bag those raked leaves, or grass clippings. You will make an valuable soil amendment, as well as save precious landfill space. Look for more composting information in a coming issue of the San Antonio Gardener. 18 Thirsty Gardeners Summer is not over yet. There are still a couple months of hot weather to survive while getting the fall gardens ready. Everyone probably knows to take a break and stay out of the sun in the hot part of the day. A floppy hat, loose cotton clothing, long sleeves and sunscreen are needed to prevent skin cancer and everyone knows to drink plenty of water when working outside. A good sweat can remove up to six pounds or pints of water an hour. Normal perspiration loss is 2-4 pounds/pints per day. A couple pounds/pints of water is lost daily in respiration. Two to fours pounds/pints a day is normally lost in urination but this can increase with over hydration or decrease with dehydration. A simple test for dehydration is the color of the urine – the darker yellow the more water needed for to properly flush the kidneys. The best strategy is to drink a quart of water per hour when working outside. Water intake should be on a regular hourly schedule with some salty snacks to keep up the electrolytes and sugar for energy. This is especially true for children who cannot tell when they are getting dehydrated. You probably cannot drink too much water while working. Water is the drink of choice. Tea and sodas containing caffeine and beer or other alcoholic drinks are diuretics, which increase loss of water. Even mild dehydration can decrease coordination, increase fatigue and impair judgment. We usually sweat and the sweat evaporates to keep us cool. Hot, humid days decrease our natural cooling efficiency. Heat is picked up from the interior body by the blood and transported to the skin for cooling. If the blood cannot be cooled the body core temperature rises and the brain activity is impaired. The most common heat-related problems are heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion usually appears several hours after dehydration and exertion. This is caused by a loss of water and electrolytes (salts) and is usually not life threatening if the water and electrolytes are replaced. The body runs low on water and the skin becomes cool and dry. Salt tablets are too concentrated and should be avoided. Salt tablets will pull water from the body to dilute the salt increasing dehydration. Heat stroke is life threatening. Heat is generated faster than it can be removed and the brain temperature rises to a dangerous level. An individual will become disoriented, combative, argumentative and subject to hallucinations. The brain tries to correct this by dilating the blood vessels. You may be sweaty but the skin is hot and red. Death can occur in as little as 30 minutes. Treatment requires cooling the core temperature by cooling the body as quickly as possible and rehydration. Stay cool and enjoy your garden. 19 A TREE LESSON Maaan. What you meean - trees and plants make ox - y - gen. My landlord wouldn't never let me have anything like that in my crib. He don't 'laow nothing that sheds nothing. That's why I bought dese plants at KMART. That cute sales girl said these was perpetual plastic plants an don't never need no water or no care or nuttin. Maaan. I'm gonna be mad if they shed anything. Shure, Man. I aint no dummy. I know what ossigen is. Thas the stuff you gotta have to make fire burn. You mean I breathe that stuff? Thas the stuff that keeps me alive? Nooo. It can't be. Trees and plants is green and I don't breathe no green stuff "cept maybe when we been eatin cabage. You say its colorless and don't have no smell? Then how do I know them green plants make ossigen. You learned it in school and you saw it on tellybison too? Den its gotta be true. You sure. You not jivin me. Cool. Say. Watch yo face, Maan. I aint no wise ready ta stop breathin yet. An you say theys cutting down all them trees in that place called Bra Zil down in South Amerikee. Maan! We gotta stop 'em 'fore they mess things up. We jes gonna get the bros and fix'em. Where we find'em, Maaan? We'll stomp on their turf and fix'em good. You say its mor'n a tousand miles? Hey! Thas mor'n two tanks a gas and I aint got no spare. So, Maan. Whut we gonna do if we can't get down there and stop'em? Plant trees? Hey! Cool!

So I gotta pay someone to grow trees for me so they can make ossigen so I kin breathe? Now I got it. Cool, Maaan. 20 WINTERIZE - A WORD TO THE WISE TO SAVE WORK NEXT SPRING It's been a good year for the lawn and flowers and the fall vegetable garden is in. Time to put the trusty lawn mower, roto-tiller and other gas powered equipment to rest for a few months. Right? A few more minutes work and you can relax knowing that this equipment will start next spring. Winterize. A few minutes at the end of the season can save time and money. If the engine needs a tune-up now is the time rather than the first nice Saturday morning in spring. You can be plowing and mowing when everyone else in town is trying to get their equipment started. You might even get a better price. One thing I learned at A&M was when all else fails read the instructions. Begin your winterization by rereading the manufacturers instructions. If you lost the instructions follow the ten-point general procedure outlined below. 1. Empty the fuel by pouring it out of the gas tank on small engines or disconnecting the fuel line on larger equipment. Drain the fuel lines and carburetor by starting the engine and running it until it stops. If you store the equipment in the garage this will reduce the fire hazard. Drain and replace the oil in the engine and transmission. Do not mix the oil and gas and you should be able to dispose of the waste gas and oil at you favorite gas station (not the local ice house that sells gas). DO NOT STORE GASOLINE NEAR OPEN FLAME SUCH AS A WATER HEATER. 2. If you feel must mow the lawn for Santa you can add a gas stabilizer to your gas or change to fresh fuel. Summer gasoline has an additive that reduces the volatility of the gas that will make the engine run poorly. If you run the equipment in the winter it will work a lot better if you use fresh winter-season fuel preferably no more than a week out of the pump. 3. Next, clean the equipment. Remove all the dirt, dust and grease so you can check for leaking gaskets and seals. 4. Remove and replace the spark plug with a new one. While the plug is out add about a tablespoon of motor oil and turn the piston over several times to coat the cylinder walls to prevent rusting from condensation of water out of the air. 21 5. Also, while the plug is out remove, sharpen and balance the blade. Reinstall and wipe the blade with an oily rag. 6. Clean any battery cable terminals. 7. Remove and clean or replace the air filter. 8. Replace the spark plug but leave the ignition wire disconnected until it is time to start the engine. 9. Lubricate the wheel bearings, control cables and other moving parts. 10. Check for anything loose and tighten everything but the screws on the carburetor. 22 Landscapes Going Wild Now that your xeriscape is established and growing like a weed there are a couple topics you might want to consider. One that may become obvious quickly is the misuse of native plants. The other topic is proper disposal of excess plant material. You may have noticed that a native live oak planted in the middle of the yard seems to sit there growing very slowly. The live oak has a reputation as a slow growing tree. However, the same tree planted in middle of a lawn and provided with plenty of water and fertilizer will grow several feet a year. This is an illustration of xeriphytic (drought-tolerant) plants planted and expected to conserve water naturally. Like the Field of Dreams if you provide water the plants will use it. Plants that originally grew in dry areas that receive 10-20 inches a year but may get 90% of this water in a couple months followed by months of hot, dry weather. They take in all the water they can while it is available. If water is available drought-tolerant plants can absorb several time the amount of water as St Augustine. As a result some of these plants grow and reproduce rapidly. Others such as cacti can literally split from too much water, which can result in death of the plant. Some like cottonaster that naturally grow in soil with good drainage can drown if planted in clay soils or given too much water. Disposal of plant material can result in cultivated plants escaping into the wild. Rooted plants and cuttings can become a nuisance if tossed over the fence or can sprout in the landfill after trash collection. Drasenia, Mexican petunia, prickly pear are examples of plants that easily escape. The best way to prevent this is to put your plant waste in dark plastic bags and let them cook in the sun for several days before final disposal. After this little break its back to the garden. 23

HardWired56 said: "Every order I place gets here in 3 days-the shipping is fast and cheap and the online availability of inventory is the best. I have bought the Lake City reman .45acp and .380-super happy with both rounds. Ok, then I buy several different types of .223/5.56 just to see how they shoot-all were as expected and good stuff. Finally I had to buy more .22longs. Got Federal, Federal Champions and Winchester. I bought 3 bricks of ammo for what I would pay for 2 around here (not counting wasted gas and time). I will order again - Great work folks!"
SocomRaider said: "Wanted to try them out first. Ordered a couple boxes of hard to find ammo. I already have the product two days later and it as advertised. Very happy with my purchase and look forward to buying from this company again. I also like their straightforward inventory system. If it's not on their website, they don't have it! They also list how many of a particular item is left."
Jajar7 said: "This was my first internet order for ammunition. I will definitely be a repeat and referral customer. The price was extremely reasonable and I don't think I can find anywhere that could beat the shipping cost. The order was shipped quickly and I was able to track the shipment with the tracking number you gave me. I knew exactly what day to expect my order. Thank You and I look forward to purchasing from you in the future."

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Sheila Lahijani, MD (Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This is a book without precedent, a strategically compiled series of topics that address principles, clinical scenarios, and models for interventions. It presents these in an organized and descriptive manner to inform readers about the issues surrounding global mental health trials.
Purpose: This book aims to present the practical information necessary to improve mental healthcare around the world, particularly as it relates to trials and specific methodological, economical, and ethical issues.
Audience: Any mental health clinician or researcher would benefit from reading this. Those who are involved in public health, especially, would gain useful practical knowledge to enhance the delivery of mental healthcare.
Features: The book is prudently organized into the three main parts: principles of global mental health trials, case studies of global mental health trials, and beyond trials: reducing the mental health treatment gap. Initially, the book discusses the fundamentals of global mental health trials, such as the development and applicability of interventions in global settings. Then, it presents cases for specific disorders, such as depression and suicide prevention. Finally, it discusses models for intervention. Each chapter is composed of clearly delineated sections with helpful figures and tables as well as resources gathered by leading international researchers.
Assessment: While there are other books covering global mental health topics, this book is unique in its focus on presenting global mental health trials comprehensively and clearly. The emphasis is on the disparities in mental health trials on a global scale and the necessity to improve this situation. Finally, it presents the information in an organized and thoughtful manner that leaves readers more knowledgeable in areas that are otherwise poorly defined.

10 Jan 2015 - Mega update
- We have added crash protection. Despite the fact crashes occur rarely on Hexana (2 times last year) we have added a protection thanks to which in case it happens players won't lose anything. Previously we were only able to retrieve lost levels and skills.
- We have added an option of sorting best players by vocation. It is now possible to check e.g.
which knight has the highest magic level
- We have added new items to a shop - runes which add 100 or 500 points.
- We have changed creature attacks - now they don't hurt themselves.
- We have changed Desintegrate rune. Now it works like on real and removes all items from a stack except for human corpses.
- We have fixed Blessed Wooden Stake (it was possible to get it without visitng all blessers).
- We have fixed Shiny Stone (now using a pick will only shatter one stone instead of whole stack).
- We have fixed teleport to Yalahar Demons (previously it required a specific soil instead of one of 4).
- We have changed level requirements for: Executioner, Arbalest.
Changes in lord system:
- We have increased a chance of getting items from reward boxes after killing Lucifer by 50% and also increased the chance of getting items with more bonuses.
- We have increased a chance of getting items from reward boxes after killing Phaser by 30% and also increased the chance of getting items with more bonuses.
- We have changed Lucifer's attacks - he now has a new attack and the current ones were weakened. We also changed the maximum number of dazzlers on the map.
- We have changed generating items with bonuses with protection from Lucifer. From now on it won't be possible to get an items which had protection from three different types of attack - instead received item will have protection from only one type of attack but higher. Reward box at Phaser will stay the same.
- Because of increasing item drop from Phaser we have decided to increase his attack power by a bit.
