The Gathering's New Home
Sun, 03/01/2015 - 02:09
We're delighted to be able to reveal our new home for The Gathering!
This is the Shell garage in Firgrove and the location fits so well with three prophetic words we've held on to over the last year.
Firstly, we had a word about moving out of Macassar High School, we didn't and we were tipped out!
Secondly, we had a word about moving to the outskirts of Macassar. Well Firgrove is most definitely on the outskirts.
Thirdly we had a word about being a bridge between communities. The location of this property is absolutely ideal to help see these words come to fruition.
The garage is on the R102 which is a busy road running parallel to the N2. The location is very visible and whereas some folk (mainly white) would be scared to go into Macassar, going to this garage at Firgrove holds none of that fear. Also, whilst the garage is in the Firgrove community it's also very easily located for Somerset West, Croydon and all the new estates (like Sitari) currently being built along the R102. We're really excited by the ministry opportunities that this will afford us.
We're planning a Celebration Launch for the 15th of March and we're hoping we'll have a good turnout as we thank our awesome God for his faithfulness and blessing.
Amazing Week!

What an amazing week!
On Sunday Shaddie and family joined with The Gathering and after he had ministered to us he felt God leading him to release us as a church from the past into the future. As part of this he asked Ziggy and Phillimon to hold my arms up while we prayed and as Shaddie prophetically released us into the anointing of God's freedom, released mandates over us and blessing.
Since Sunday Phillimon has been healed of his back pain. His employer was so concerned about him that he sent him to a local private hospital for a load of tests which all confirmed his healing!
One of our youngsters got a long prayed for school place despite being over 100th on the waiting list.
Mercy was healed of chest pains and high blood pressure.
Rejoice got a great new job which she's very excited about.
We had an excellent morning with dear friends from Zimbabwe who spoke prohetically into our lives, it was like standing under a refreshing waterfall!
On Wednesday we saw a potential building to rent for The Gathering and today we've been given the building. We will sign the lease in the next few days and have the keys by the 1st of March. Now we're planning a Celebration Gathering for the 8th of March.
God is awesome!
Mr Fry, Your god Is Utterly Utterly Evil!
Mon, 02/02/2015 - 08:43
This video clip is doing the rounds on Facebook at present and is causing a bit of a stir.
I first saw it on the
Huffington Post
website where it's become quite a sensation.
Neo-atheists are loving every second of this video whilst Christians seem to be a bit flustered by the fact that such an intelligent, likeable chap has come out and told the world straight that he thinks god is "utterly, utterly evil" and how dare he let a child have bone cancer. He even went so far as to say that he would tell god "How dare you, how dare you create a world where there is such misery that's not our fault? It's utterly, utterly evil.".
I'm sure the god Mr Fry is referring to is quaking in his boots.
However, there's one tiny little problem with Mr Fry's indignation (and most of the responses both Christian and neo-atheist). The problem is this: Who do we believe God is? Mr Fry et al clearly view god as some kind of superhero figure who can (or at least should) swoop down and sort out the mess, the pain and all the injustice on the planet. Tragically many Christians seem to share this misunderstanding of who God is.
I have to say that if God is indeed a superhero type figure then I agree 100% with Mr Fry et al and add my voice to the growing chorus of indignation concerning his lack of intervention. I will also renounce my faith and stop leading a church.
However, the God we as Christians worship is no superhero type figure!
Rather, he's the creator who set the cosmos in place, he created order and let the world run with the order he created. A simple reading of Genesis chapter one makes it very clear that God is a God of order. He has set rules in place (often referred to as mother nature by some and as science by others) and the world as we know it and the wider cosmos ticks along bound by those rules. And no I'm not talking about the 10 Commandments, as good as they are.
See, there's a problem with neo-atheism that causes classical atheism to hang its head in shame, and that problem is the basic misunderstanding of theology.
Here's a great example: Classical atheism acknowledges the bodily resurrection of Jesus, however it questions the meaning of this resurrection. This brand of atheism is sensible enough not to question a clearly documented historical event. However, it's very happy to question the meaning of the event and Christians' interpretation of the event.
Neo-atheism throws the baby out with the bathwater and questions the very validity of the clearly documented historical event. To make matters worse, they resort to playground tactics of ridicule and abuse to do so.
This brings me back to Mr Fry. I like Stephen, he's an interesting and entertaining chap who's done some great work. Sadly however, he shares the neo-atheist position of throwing the baby out with the bathwater and as such questions clearly documented historical events preferring instead to believe in a superhero god who has failed the world.
Well, Mr Fry, I agree with you, your god is simply appalling and utterly, utterly evil!

It's always a bitter sweet moment when the new school year begins.
I really need to get back into some kind of routine and crack on with stuff but I also love having my boys around day after day getting in the way, making too much noise and generally just messing up the place.
It's nice to have the freedom this morning to work in peace and quiet but I'm missing them already.
Both boys were excited this morning as they begin new grades with new teachers, though I think it's the thought of seeing their friends that truly excited them.
The Gathering's New Year's Braai 2015
Thu, 01/01/2015 - 13:30
We have been planning a braai for The Gathering on New Year's Day for quite a while now but I don't think any of us could have guessed just how significant today would be. The day dawned beautifully and quickly turned into the hottest, calmest day we have had in months – perfect for a braai. We had bought enough food to feed a small army, ordered a jumping castle for the children, tidied up the garden and had had a stern talking to Rosie dog to behave herself!!
What a day of fun we have had! One thing that is clear is that in a relatively short space of time we have grown into a family who love each other, like each other and who would do anything for one another – what a privilege! We haven't heard so much laughter ringing out from our garden for a long time as children devised new ways to jump onto the jumping castle (yes really!); Ziggy fell out of the hammock(!) and the new Chairman of the Ministry of Eating was announced from amongst us!
Amongst the fun and laughter, fellowshipping and getting to know each other better we also knew that God had told us to take time today to perform a symbolic act of letting go of the past in order to move forward into all that He has for us this year. Michael Angier writes, "In order to embrace the new, we must release the old. A trapeze artist cannot swing from one bar to another without letting go. An important part of preparing for the New Year is to review the past year—to release it—and to learn from it". As a result we had all collected various items we had relating to Tree of Life church and together we threw them on to our braai fire before using the ashes to cook our meat to eat – just as Elisha did in 1 Kings 19:21. This was quite an emotional time but very healing as we all gathered with one heart and mind, all filled with a desire to be released from the past and to move into all that God has for us. What a privilege to serve together and to lead this special bunch of people – The Gathering (International)!

Joel At Busy Corner
Tue, 12/23/2014 - 15:42
Following Joel's school speech on homelessness and his challenge to his fellow learners to contribute deodorants for the homeless (See
Local News
), tonight was the night for Joel to go to Busy Corner and give them away.
Joel was thrilled to be able to give to those he's already met and it was great to know that they all had genuine needs. Some folk asked Joel if they could also take one for a friend or family member and Joel was very happy to let them.
It's been great for Joel to go on the streets regularly and to build relationships with some of the homeless folk and it definitely helps in identifying the genuinely needy. Our boy has such a big heart!

Ghosts Of Christmas Past
Mon, 12/15/2014 - 17:57
Having posted a picture on Facebook of Joel topping off our Christmas tree with the angel we thought it might be fun to revisit the ceremony from years gone by. Joel was too young to participate in 2004 and Christmas 2005 was a bit of a blur what with Eli's planned arrival, delayed arrival and eventual arrival on the 21st. Also we're missing a pic from 2010 as we were in Blighty with family that year.
It's fascinating seeing how Joel and Eli have grown over the years, in the early pics Joel stood on a chair, steps or was carried to put the angel on. In 2011 Joel had to let Eli do it for the first time and they've shared the duties ever since, though Eli missed this year's because he's away on karate camp.
Here's to many many more Christmases of topping the tree off with the angel!

Recently our blog was criticised by some fools people who claimed that all we did on here was post snippets from the local press, so today we thought we'd post a snippet from the local press so they could feel justified in their smugness criticisms.
So here's a snippet from our local rag about Joel and his school appeal in which he encouraged his fellow learners to bring in deodorants for the homeless which he's planning to give out over Christmas.
So proud of you Joel!

Air Force Academy investigates possible cheating
Tuesday - 3/4/2014, 12:38pm EST
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) -- The Air Force Academy is investigating whether 40 freshman cadets cheated in a chemistry class.
Academy officials said Monday some cadets possibly copied portions of a lab report assignment.
The school says about 500 cadets are enrolled in the class.
Initial reports said 11 cadets were under investigation, but the academy said later it was 40.
Lt. Gen. Michelle D. Johnson, the academy superintendent, says she is disappointed by the allegations.
Cheating is forbidden by the academy's honor code. Cadets who break the code can be expelled, but the Colorado Springs Gazette reports (http://tinyurl.com/mchobbr ) freshmen violators are generally treated more leniently under current rules. They can be placed on honor probation instead.
Cadets on probation are generally confined to campus and assigned extra duty, including miles of marching.

better make sure you like mead before you brew this. i aged it 1,5 years, and it was harsh. people told me i tried it young... it'll tie up a secondary for at least 2 years
1: Empty
2: Scottish Export 80
3: Hef-wit
Fermenting: English Mild, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barkshack Mead
I don't get it. My mead tastes great, even during fermentation. Yesterday I pulled a sample and tried it 20 days after pitching the yeast, and it was delicious. I can't wait for couple of months more.....It's gonna be a bomb!
Many people mention harsh flavor, but it certainly is not the case with my mead.
I used acacia honey to make it.....
Mine turned out OK, not great. I've tasted a couple other's. And not so great.
I used red wine yeast though.....
I just bottled mine after 9 weeks. I did a DIY wax top on my bottles and plan on cracking them during summer time. I did get a taste of mine of course and its still a little young with that almost hot liquor taste. But I can't wait to try it after it ages even more.
I'm making this tonight - attempting a 5 gal batch and seeing what happens. Can't wait!
Hello all! I'm a newbie homebrewer, who has always wanted to taste Mead (or hidromiel as we call it here). I chose this method of brewing because of its simplicity and easy to get ingredients. I purchased some airlocks and proper yeast online to start brewing some decent drinks, but they are still on their way here... So in the meanwhile I tried this method following all the instructions except for the airlocks and recipients. Since I did not have any airlock I used latex balloons, using also a needle to prick a hole on them, to cover the fermenting bottles. I have quite an amount of "experiments" going on! All of them follow this recipe, scaled down to 2 liter and 1.5 liter recipients, because those were the only ones I had available.
My question is, does a smaller recipient imply a shorter fermenting time? And what do you think of ballons for airlocks? I know using them is not very professional, but I wanted to try the method so that maybe I can get some drinkable mead. Always wanted to try mead since I read The Lord Of The Rings more than 20 years ago
Thanks for reading, and keep on brewing! This forum is really really great. Best regards!
I actually made two batches:
A 1-gallon JOAM with agave instead of honey - started bubbling within 12 minutes.
A 3-gallon JOAM with clove honey - used 2 packets of fleishman's yeast. Didn't realize the airlock had evaporated after 10 days.
I zested the oranges and juiced them instead of throwing the whole slices into the mix. Also used ground up cloves too. Been about two weeks now and they're both still going strong. Raisins have lost their color though - can't wait for everything to fall out!
Well, I just made my own version of JAOM, can't wait for it to finish. This is my first mead, and I'm pretty excited. Here's what I did.
I had 12 lbs of honey that a co-worker gave me. It was in a gallon plastic milk jug, and just said "Honey" on the outside, so no clue what kind it is. I'm guessing maybe Orange Blossom, since the honey was from his father's farm, and we're in Florida? Who knows...
Anyway, I dissolved the honey in to enough water to bring the total volume to 5.5 gallons. I wanted a lower alcohol mead, and am hoping it might be drinkable a little quicker because of it. The OG turned out to be 1.080. If it finishes around 1.020, it should end up at ~7.5% ABV.
I used blood oranges instead of regular oranges, mainly because they're in season and I've been wanting to brew something using blood oranges. Hopefully they will add a cool pinkish color to the mead.
I peeled, zested, and split up the blood oranges, and used 4 total. I didn't want to get that pithy taste that has been described in this thread in my mead. I added 3 handfuls of raisins, 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 whole cloves, a dash of allspice, a dash of nutmeg, and mixed it all together. I aerated for a few minutes by shaking my Ale Pail, and pitched my yeast.
I decided to use Safale S-33, since I had it sitting in my fridge. Malkore described using this yeast on a few meads with success, so I figured I'd use it since I already had it. I'm still planning on leaving it in primary for two months, and then bottling. I'm also planning on carbonating the mead, and really hope it will be ready over the summer. It should turn out to be a great, light summer beverage, great for drinking on the beach.
I'll keep you guys posted!

Everyone loves a good fable, and this is certainly one. The protagonist is Julian Mantle, a high-profile attorney with a whacked-out schedule and a shameful set of spiritual priorities. Of course it takes a crisis (heart attack) to give Mantle pause. And pause he does--suddenly selling all his beloved possessions to trek India in pursuit of a meaningful existence. The Himalayan gurus along the way give simple advice, such as, "What lies behind you and what lies before you is nothing compared to what lies within you." Yet it is easy to forgive the story's simplicity because each kernel of wisdom is framed to address the persistent angst of Western white-collar professionals. --Gail Hudson

College & Career
Embarrassing Interview Mistakes and How to Avoid Them!
Regardless of how qualified you may be for the job, if you botch the interview, you'll likely lose the chance of getting hired. Some interview mistakes may be inevitable, and the interviewer may chose to overlook your misstep.
Career Coaching: Worthwhile investment or waste of time?
Whether you're a recent college grad in pursuit of your first steady paycheck or a disgruntled employee who dreads going to work each day, the idea of working with a career coach may have crossed your mind. The question is: Are career coaches worth it?
Give Me A Break: A nation overworked
We may think working less is only for swashbucklers, but global stats show we're leading the world in too many honest days' work--to our detriment.
We won't be surprised if you haven't heard these stories in the media, but they're important because they impact our young, thin wallets.
Not A Joke: I took a year off for comedy's sake
I am a screenwriter and comedian, and all I want is a career in entertainment.
Cottage Food Laws: Selling baked goods from home
These days, there's a pretty solid market for artisan baked goods, as opposed to the mass-produced stuff you'll find at national chains or on supermarket shelves. And if you're an avid baker, you've possibly toyed with the idea of selling your own creations--especially if others have consistently affirmed your talent for all things homemade.
Is a Mickey Mouse Degree for You?
When you're choosing a college major, you want a degree path that leads to a well-paying job, but you also want a profession that you'll finding fulfilling and rewarding. Forget 40 hours a week -- Americans work an average of 47 hours a week, according to a Gallup poll.
My Internship at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
During my last year in college, I accepted an opportunity to work in web production at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSLO) in New York City. I couldn't decide what was more exciting: living and working in the Big Apple or meeting Ms. Stewart!
The Four Cover Letter Killers
Before you can land that dream job, you have to impress the hiring manager. And before you ever get to meet that person, you have to impress the computerized Applicant Tracking System and the human being who decides if your cover letter and resume merit more than a six-second review.
Choosing A Career In Demand
Choosing the right career is a delicate balancing act. Since you'll want to have a long, successful career, you'll want to choose a profession that lines up with your skills, abilities, and interests. Also, unless you're a trust fund baby, you'll have bills to pay--along with desires you want filled--so you need to earn a decent salary.

Resident survey responses mostly positive
Results of a general resident survey paint a pretty rosy picture of life in Rosemount. Now it's now up to the Rosemount City Council and staff to figure out how to use those results to continue moving the city forward.
Mayor Bill Droste said he's been anticipating the results of the survey, which was conducted this past spring. He said the information will help the city council plan and respond to the city's needs.

These two top flagship smartphones both pack high-end designs and features to boot. Here's how they stack up against each other.
With its integrated 12-volt plug, the TransitPlus portable battery can be ready to charge up your phone at any time.
We'd love to recommend this innovative technology, but at this early stage the Upp fuel cell charger is just too cumbersome and too expensive.

The seventh installment of the "Fast & Furious" franchise is nearly upon us. Dennis McCarthy, who has wrangled cars for the series since 2006's "Tokyo Drift," tells us how he pulled together the amazing rides for this latest film.
Able to simultaneously charge four tablets, this 48W Aukey AIPower quad-port car charger is the most powerful we've tested.
The Nexus 4 Wireless Charger is convenient for Nexus 4 owners, but other solutions from Powermat and Energizer offer more extra features.
The $89 Energizer Dual Inductive Charger powers up compatible gadgets without the hassle of cords, but is a poor travel companion.
The new LG WCP-300 wireless charger is compact and powers up the Nexus 4 plus other compatible phones easily.
The SnapPower Charger USB-equipped coverplate requires absolutely no electrical skill to install and still leaves your regular plugs open for use.
If you can get past its $25 price tag, Andru perfectly combines form and function in the ideal phone charger for an Android lover.

The Persecution & Prosecution of Ted Taupier in Connecticut Family Courts
in Politics
How do you know when a state has no crime and not enough work to justify their budgets ? When this is the best show in town; when you make up crime like [breach of peace] as a felony worthy of a state and its tax payer budgets.
Cromwell, Connecticut resident Ted Taupier found himself embroiled in a nasty divorce and a monumental battle for his rights to his children. In a series of escalating charges, one more ridiculous than the next, Taupier became the target of another corrupt family court system in Connecticut.
In one instance:
"Edward Taupier recklessly created a risk of causing T***** Taupier inconvenience, annoyance, and alarm by offensive conduct that annoyed and
interfered with T***** Taupier" so reads the complaint against Ted Taupier.
Just imagine, now you can be arrested and charged with a felony just for someone saying you annoyed and inconvenienced them and this alarmed you. Of course, in order to invoke these idiotic statutes, you must be well connected to those who participate in the court, or, be part of the court system itself. These statutes were enacted in virtually every state to reduce the standards necessary to prosecute individuals who might be trying to blow the whistle on corruption or, misuse of the system by "special" friends of the court. Of course YOU can't use them unless the court sees a benefit for itself by doing so. Otherwise, court dockets would be stacked to the ceilings with pending cases against judges, attorney's, and others who routinely annoy, inconvenience and alarm most of us.
Join us tonight as we discuss the persecution and prosecution of Ted Taupier!

Kiev, Caracas are in crisis, and Connecticut gun control hits a snag
Technical note: The platform crashed about 12 minutes into the program, dead air and distorted portions have been deleted, but the conversation may not flow as well as we intended around this mark. ;-(
Police in Kiev attempted heavy handed tactics in an apparent attempt to bring Ukranian protests to an end. The attempt didn't go as well as police might have expected.
In Caracas, Venezuela, massive protests have also errupted. Perhaps living under a government where toilet paper is a scarce commodity gets old after a while.
And here in the U.S., there's a less showy, more underground form of protest that's receiving notice this week. Somewhere between 20,000 and 100,000 gun owners in Connecticut are said to have snubbed a new state requirement to register their gun mags and "military style" rifles.
They risk felony prosecution by so doing.

Hey Connecticut-"Hannibal is at The Gates"
Hannibal ad portas, Hannibal is at the gates, Roman parents would tell their misbehaving children this, invoking their fear of Hannibal. We need to be doing the same thing now. Hannibal it seems, is at the gates again.
With the current push for gun consfication in Connecticut, we are entering into a very dangerous area. With almost 80% of the states firearm owners refusing to register their firearms and risking having the state start going door to door and confiscating folks arms the state is on the verge of a serious and dangerous situation.
Anti gunners yell about pro gun folks resistence to registering their firearms, but this is the exact scenario 2A folks fear. I would like to hear from listeners about their opinions of the current situation in Connecticut.

LIVE:Chesapeake Bay Reggae Fest Pre show- International Stars Tuff Lion & IBA
in Music
A veteran of countless live performances and tours as a bandleader or sideman over his long career, Tuff Lion's recording presence has "finally" begun to blossom with the access that home recording studio systems afford the masses today. Undeniably, he has risen from near obscurity to many V. I. producers' "A" list. You may also see his name credited on some recordings to performances on other instruments such as, bass, keyboards, organ, drums and some backing vocals. This is indicative of the depth of his musical scope. "I-Man play instruments for the sake of music, not the other way" says the graciously humble Tuff Lion, noting that he "really only practices" on the guitar.
Iba (pronounced: 'Eye-bah') was born Charles "Chucky" Encarnacion on May 7, 1970 on the island of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. As the son of a musician, Iba was indoctrinated into music at a very young age and his passion for knowledge led him to embrace the teachings of Rastafari in his formative years. Over time and thru much diligence, Iba became lead singer of St. Croix's Front Line Reggae Band and quickly became one of St. Croix's celebrated singers. In 1995, life and mother nature (Hurricane Marilyn) intervened in this burgeoning career and Iba relocated to Connecticut, USA. In Connecticut, Iba kept at his passion by fronting the Survivor's Reggae Band for the next 3 years.
The "Mature Minor Doctrine," and what it means to your 16 year-old
in Legal
The Mature Minor Doctrine is a common law doctrine created in most states through judicial rulings. The doctrine accepts that an unemancipated minor may possess the maturity to choose or reject a particular health care treatment. Illinois' version of the doctrine was created by the 1989 Supreme Court of Illinois decision, In re E.G. Most recently, the Doctrine was discussed in a Connecticut Supreme Court case where the court unanimously ruled that a 17 year old girl can be forced to undergo cancer treatments against her will. This podcast with attorney Sarah Flohr will discuss the Mature Minor Doctrine and how it could affect unemancipated minors in the state of Illinois.

This is an excellent comforter, very soft, very light and extremely warm. The baffle box contruction is only 10 inch and prevrnts the goose down filling from moving. Only downside is that it may be too warm for summer time or you can crank up the AC.
I love my Chadsworth comforter by fortunoff!!!! It is exceptional! Of the four or five comforters I have bought over the years - this is my favorite. I enjoy wool comforters for warmth as well, but they are too heavy. This is a very comfortable light weight, and as warm. This is goose down, (beware of comforters marked Down only as they could most likely be duck down if it doesn't specify goose), the thread count of the cover (720) is high enough to keep the down enclosed, no shifting (the baffles seem stitched tight). I love it!!!! Very good buy!
If you are thinking of buying a comforter, go for this one. It is definitely oversized, and it is very, very soft. It is not too hot, perfect for winter and fall, could be used in the summer if you have a high AC setting. Great value for the money. High thread count, very well made. The only draw back is that it is dry clean only. Other than that, it is really great. Absolutely no smell, either.
this comforter is so warm and comfortable and fits perfectly on my california king bed with just the right amount of hangover so my feet are not showing.get a good duvet to protect it though.no residual odor either and tight squares.good sewing job.
This comforter is warm, soft, extremely full and fluffy and has even improved my sleep. Using it now in the summer gets a little warm, but that's obviously not its fault. I blast the AC and point a fan on the bed just so I can use it now. Cant wait till winter when I'll actually need it. Great value, great quality, great slumber!
I've had this quite a while, and it's wonderful. I've bought summer and winter goose down comforters from Overstock and have been happy with both types.
this is the best comforter i have purchased so far. it is oversized so it fits my queen size bed very well. it says it is a heavy fill comforter for very cold weather, but i find it is comfortable year round. have had no problems with down coming out or moving in this comforter.
I couldn't be happier with this comforter. It has none of the negatives that are mentioned in the reviews of other down comforters: It doesn't leak feathers, the feathers don't shift, it doesn't smell. It's fluffy and the quality is beautiful. Just right!
I did a lot of research prior to buying this comforter. I must say I am glad I purchased this one. The comforter is truly amazing. It is so fluffy! Look no further buy this one if you are in the market for a winter comforter (It gets really warm so don't treat this as an all season comforter).
I did hours of research about the different types of down comforters. This comforter was worth the money. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

Lawn ID please!
This is my backyard lawn. I'm hoping that these pictures will help with identifying what type it is. For reference, I am in East Sacramento/West Carmichael area, 95821.
Unfortunately about 30% of the backyard lawn has been overrun by bermuda grass (YUCK) and I'd like to eradicate that and get this type of grass everywhere. Our house was vacant for a year and a half, so I'm not sure how long the bermuda was in the lawn etc. I'd like to ID this grass and hopefully treat the areas with bermuda. Tahnks for your help!
(ignore the weeds, I'm working on learning proper organic lawn care)
and a close-up:
I second tall fescue, not sure if it's K-31, looks too green, but it certainly is a wide bladed variety. I think a more important issue question is how do you plan on getting rid of the Bermuda? Bermuda is notorious difficult to irradicate, even with Round-up.
Thank you both!
Tiemco: I bought a product called Ornamec that I'd like to use to eradicate the bermuda. Do you know anything about it? (I'm starting a new thread on my questions about this product and would appreciate if you took a gander at it)
How do I reseed the bermudagrass area with fescue come fall?
Perhaps I'm in the minority but I've actually had some success killing off bermuda with Round Up. Just make sure that you apply when the bermuda is actively growing, wait a week or two to see the places you missed and then apply again. After I killed off the bermuda, I reseeded with tall fescue and haven't seen any runners yet. Going on two years now...
"Good luck with that. The Bermuda grass cannot be stopped and you will be Assimilated. Resistance is futile."
texas-weed: Have you ever used Ornamec for the purpose of controlling bermudagrass and/or other grassy weeds? You should try it some time. I, for one, was pleasantly surprised by the results of using Ornamec in landscape beds. It did take multiple applications, but the product did work as advertised. It completely annhialated the bermudagrass and other grassy weeds. As for using it in an existing stand of turfgrass, we have not tried that. However, the label does state that it can be used for controlling bermudagrass in fescue and zoysia.
Yes, bermudagrass can be difficult to control, but it is not invincible.
I took over the yard care for my dad's yard last year.It was really bad, no matter how much I watered,it just looked bad. I then dug a section up and saw the water was only getting the top inch or so wet.I then used a thatch rake on it, and the change was amazing.But only lasted for about a month.This yard is 30x40 it has 2 chinese elms (wont die) 1 poplar 2 cottonwoods a palm tree all next to each other in a row. With a catalpa tree in the center.The entire yard has never been tilled in the 20 yrs he's lived there,with the exception of a 10x15 section.It has huge tree roots surfacing everywhere.The 10x15 section was tilled with multitude of roots that kept choking the blades.It has been seeded two times all seed planted grows well for about a month then dies.I did check for grass grubs but found no more.It only gets about 2 hr of sun. It did have grass grubs really bad, but was treated last yr for them.The same section is just riddled with all sizes of tree roots too.I have used scotts lawn products and ammonia sulfate. Is it possible for a yard to have 20 yrs of thatch build up? I have even had to dig up all the flowers and put them in pots,because they don't live long or are stunted in growth.Am at the point where the only thing keeping me from blowing it up is my dad's home. :(
I must have overlooked the suggestions that this was fescue. It really looks like St Augustine to me. Does the grass grow on long runners above ground or does it grow in individual clumps? In any case you have it looking pretty good.
If it grows from long runners, then it is St Augustine. The best care for St Aug is to mow it at your mower's highest setting (which it looks like you're doing). Water it when it looks dry. Fertilize with organics as often as your budget allows. I like the price of alfalfa pellets this year and used a lot of those. With organics it is very (VERY) hard to use too much. One guy on another forum used soy bean meal and Milorganite at a rate that amounted to well over 1,000 pounds per 1,000 square feet over the course of the growing season. That was at least 50 pounds per 1,000 every week. You can easily get by on 20 pounds per 1,000 3x per year unless you really want to thicken it up.
I am in Mission,tx i planted some st. agustine in another section and was watering it twice a day for like 10-20 minutes and it came out pretty nice I also added some of that scott's starter fertilizer as well. That grass looked like the picture in my previous post before and like after a week it turned real nice and green now I only water it every other day and eventually then cut it back to once a week. This new sod that I planted is only 5 days so I will give some time before I also starts to get green as well at least I hope it does. The only problem I have with the other grass I planted is that termites have gotten into some parts of it and I don't know what to do I was thinking of spraying melathion any suggestions?
Thanks for the advice I appreciate it
Definitely less frequent watering. This time of year you should be watering once a month, not every other day. New sod will need more frequent water until the new roots knit into the underlying soil. Then start backing off on frequency and watering longer. ONCE A MONTH, not thrice a week. Your picture looks normal for very new sod. Have you looked into an organic approach to fertilizer?
Termites? Can you get a real close up picture of these termites?

Prepaid Tuition Plan for Independent Colleges Approved
February 13, 2003
The Independent 529 Plan, a new prepaid college tuition plan tailored specifically for independent colleges, recently received its final regulatory approval under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings on investments will be tax-exempt. Independent U.S. colleges that participate in the program will honor the plan's tuition certificates.
Unlike 529 college savings programs in which people invest contributions for later use when college is attended, Independent 529 Plan contributions represent the purchase of a portion of an independent college's tuition at today's prices, which will be accepted as payment when the student eventually attends an independent college.
According to Doug Brown, president of Tuition Plan Consortium (TPC)—the nonprofit group that will run the program—the benefit will be even greater, given that a participating independent college will also offer and guarantee a certificate discount on tuition for the year in question.
TPC is targeting the start of the plan—allowing the purchase of tuition certificates—for this summer. TIAA-CREF Tuition Financing, Inc. will administer the plan, and TIAA-CREF Trust Company, FSB, will manage its investments.

text: CID RIM - EXTEND RANGES (MIKE SLOTT REMIX) by LuckyMe Records published on 2013/09/24 05:08:59 +0000 ITUNES PREORDER : http://bit.ly/1eEfKle RELEASE DATE : 1st October 2013 -A Dummy Mag Premiere- The CID RIM Mute City EP was released on 17th September to a great reception Now LuckyMe are very proud to present Mute City Remixes 3 unique takes from the Mute City EP. Mike Slott is one of the original founding members of LuckyMe alongside Hudson Mohawke & The Blessings. He released his classic Lucky 9teen micro album over 4 years ago. With this his first release with us in sometime we are overjoyed that his reworking of Extend Ranges is as beautiful meditative vocal song by Mike himself calling out that he's coming back to releasing music. In contrast, Autre Ne Veut rejects his usual fare to produce an instrumental remix that cuts up several different vocal pitches and textures to recreate the originals musical passages- the result is a skewed theatrical beat sliced with glacial snares. As huge fans of his work- especially last years Anxiety LP we are proud to have him involved in this project. Last but not least – young Joseph Marinetti provides a classic house percussion workout of title track Mute City – transposing tiny digital fragments into warm Chicago keys interspersed with surging pads. Marinetti has a full LuckyMe release slated for 2014 and continues to impress with his underground releases and stellar guest mixes.
