BARCLAYS Bank Plc will give $40 million in lines of credit to its local unit this month to boost its underwriting capacity, after advancing a similar amount last year, an official said on Thursday.
"We have received lines of credit from within the group and that is because the group has seen opportunities as we have seen them," Barclays Bank of Zimbabwe chief finance officer, Samuel Matsekete, told a press briefing after the annual general meeting.
"Last year, it was $40 million. By end of May we might probably double that amount. We are comfortable that we still continue to have the support of the group."
Managing director George Guvamatanga told shareholders that net interest income for the four months to April was 13 percent higher than the same period last year.
Non-funded income was subdued, recording a growth of one percent, reflecting constrained growth in transactional activity.
While incomes have grown on the back of a low level of non-performing loans, more policy reforms are required to boost economic activity, Guvamatanga said.
"The economic landscape requires significant decisive interventions to enhance investor confidence, promote local production and contain imports bill. Clarity on key policies that local and foreign investors consider, is critical," he said.
The bank has maintained non-performing loans at one percent against an industry average of 16 percent.
"Under a stable to improving economic landscape Barclays would sustain growth in the loan book and offshore lines of credit from current levels.
"At the current rate, the bank would close the year at lower than planned loan and deposit levels," Guvamatanga said.
The bank will continue efforts to enhance and integrate e-channel platforms while cost, scale and efficiency initiatives will become more critical, he added.

The subburst mirror looks so amazing! But the last time I tried to hang something from the wall it became a DIY disaster and I ended up with a smashed finger. I think I'll use a professional to cope with the odd job this time.
I loved all of your ideas and though i would share a few of my own that
are fun and easy was to add something more to your home.Paint and unify thrifted items. Maybe you have a wood grain cabinet and a darker stain table. Paint both items the same color (you can even whitewash them!) to bring a cohesive vibe to the room. Update a lampshade or lightshade with ornate décor that lends a luxe look to an otherwise ho-hum piece. Wooden appliqués are great for this, and they are inexpensive at your local craft
store. Paint the wood pieces in the color of your choosing and attach them with
a hot glue gun. Play with patterns. Wallpaper can be a fun jolt of life for
blasé walls. Look for graphic black and white patterns that can easily be
complemented with pops of color. Enlarge a photo and mount it in an oversized
frame. The look is different and resembles the way artwork is displayed in a
gallery, giving it a crisp and sleek appearance. Play with colors and you can
create something that really adds a striking look to a room.
Dear Author, thanks for your work! It is very nice that you pay attention on the small details in the decoration of house! I saw many interesting ideas also on http://iinterior.info/, I guess it is important to think not onl about general design, but and about every its point!

Merlin, I understood that they were deaths, not just attacks. I was going off of the wiki link that was posted. The lower 48 states is what I was refering to. and using this chart from that site page:
Locations of fatal bear attacks in the United States
Brown Bears
Black Bears
bears (all species, includes
Polar Bear
I hope that comes out right when this posts. That is at the bottom of the wiki page.
If you look at that page there is a break down from 1900-2012 for all of North America. There were only 38 deaths in the lower 48 according to that page anyway...I do not know for sure though. The point still was that MANY of them were captive bears so that lowers the total wild attacks quite a bit.
The thinking for me is that out of MILLIONS of campers every week in all of the USA and only a few attacks per year and only a few deaths per decade the odds are MUCH higher for a riding injury than a bear injury.
For me, and I can ONLY speak for me-others of course need to make their OWN informed choice, I refuse to live my life afraid of what "might" happen and miss out on what WILL happen if I just try.
We surf here in sunny so cal and there is always a risk of shark attack. My absolutely gorgeous 18 yr old daughter surfs every week at least once. Do I fear that an attack is a possibility? YEP. But I know she loves it and the odds are very low.
Monday I went snorkeling in La Jolla SD Ca and was out about 1/2 mile swimming with a few Sea Lions on the kelp bed edges, a known Great White hang out....I love it though and feel refreshed out in my ocean, alive.
BE CAREFUL, be informed, be SMART....but LIVE life.

Comments about EuroCave Professional 3181 Wine Cellar (1-Temp):
This cellar is very nice looking and is working great so far. The instruction manual was less than adequate relative to powering it up and setting it for the first time, so lots of trial and error ensued. The shelving is not rolling, which we were not aware of when we bought it, which makes the shelves clunky and unstable to use when full.

Nick Cannon Presents Wild 'n Out is a show on MTV starring Nick Cannon.
When ratings for the first season proved to be successful, MTV requested 10 more episodes for a second season which premiered on February 2, 2006. Major changes were implemented for the new season including shifting the show location to Hollywood and the teams now compete for a "Wild 'n Out" Championship belt which if the Black Squad wins, the team captain gets to take home.
The first season of the show was officially released as a 3 disc "uncensored" DVD box set on 7 March 2006. The episodes are only somewhat uncensored, but not as much as the MTV episodes. The musical performances are completely cut as well. The first 2 discs contain the 10 episodes of the entire season (Episodes 1-5 on Disc 1 and 6-10 on Disc 2) with the 3rd disc containing special features including extra unaired games and bloopers.
Wild 'n Out season 3 has finished airing on MTV. Seasons 1, 2, and 3 can be seen in repeats on both MTV and MTV2, usually for overnight fill-ins. Additionally, 2 episodes of the show were produced specifically for Spring Break in Cancún, Mexico. These episodes also air on MTV and MTV2. The fourth season premiered on June 7, 2007.
The show is broadcast along Cannon's other MTV program, Short Circuitz, as part of the Nick Cannon Power Hour.
Each team is given a topic by the audience for a has to make up and sing on the spot. The audience votes on which song is the funnier of the two.
The team captains each sit in a chair facing each other, holding in a mouthful of water. Each team's members in turn must act as if they are voicing their captain's thoughts and crack a joke in order to make the opposing captain laugh and spit out his or her water, thusly causing a spit take (even if the amount of water released is a tiny dribble, it counts as a "spit out"). The opposing team is credited with a point, and the team whose captain spits the least wins. There has been one variant on this game in which instead of the team captains sitting in the chairs 2 Wild 'n Out Girls were in the chairs and each team (Captain included) cracked jokes. Former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland was the first team captain to score a point for her own team in a regular game by forcing Nick Cannon to spit. Example: Kelly Rowland "It's O.K. Nick just swallow."
Two members of each team look through the studio audience for members that bear a striking, passing or humorous resemblance to a celebrity. DJ D-Wrek judges how funny each comment is; the team with the most bells wins.
Two members of each team must come up with a call-and-answer joke. The first line must be completely innocent, while the response must contain a funny and nearly explicit double entendre.
Team members will act like they're the first person to do a certain thing DJ D-Wrek mentions. D-Wrek will judge if it's funny or not.
This game is usually introduced before the second commercial. Each team is given the name of a movie before the commercial, and has about 60 seconds (hence the game's title) to come up with a fake trailer for a sequel to that movie.
Similar to the "Props" game in Whose Line, each team is given an odd item to use as a prop in as many ways as possible. DJ D-Wrek judges each use.
DJ D-Wrek will give a topic and each team will try to put in the form of poetry. D-Wrek will judge if the poem is funny or whack.
Similar to Whose Line's "Questions Only", one member of each team at a time must follow a particular situation suggestion while only speaking to each other in questions. Any hesitation or non-question by a player awards a bell to the other team.
The teams pick members from the audience to participate in a "fashion show". Once the participants are chosen, each team selects 2 members to provide commentary on the members they have chosen. (Originally in Season 1 the teams had to take turns delivering the commentaries on only the people that their team had chosen. In Seasons 2 through 4 the teams can let fly with jokes on every single audience member involved in the game at any time)
Each team captain acts as a club bouncer, while the team members act as various celebrities, which the "bouncer" must identify from their partner's acting and behaviors. The identity of the celebrity will be posted on a video screen behind the captain so that only the team player, the audience and the home viewer can see it. The most correct answers within 90 seconds wins the round for their team.
A prop ledge will be placed on the stage and a member from each team will try to state that their lives are more pathetic. Whoever has the most pathetic life of the 2 will get nudged by the Grim Reaper and score for their team (sometimes he nudges both). Whoever has the most pathetic lives at the end of the round wins. (Example: Mikey Day " I bought a three piece Nick Cannon album, and I listened to them all.", Leonard " I went to a gas station, and this homeless guy sold me all of his movies.")
One member of each team will each have to say something that would be on a tombstone that D-Wrek mentions. If it's funny it gets a bell if it doesn't a buzzer. example: Katt Williams has to say something on Usher's tombstone: "I asked to be cremated, bitch Let It Burn"
One member of the team (usually the captain) is placed in an isolation booth. That player will act as Lassie's owner; the audience comes up with a situation that Timmy (the character from Lassie) might be in and what happened to him. Once the situation is set, the captain is released and another member of their team must act like Lassie and act out what happened. The team captain that figures it out quicker wins the round for his or her team.
Set up similar to "That's My Dog", the team captain is again placed in an isolation booth. The audience comes up with a celebrity and a crime. The captain then comes out and is interrogated by two members of their team as if they are that celebrity and committed that crime; the captain must figure out who they are supposed to be and what crime they committed. The quickest team wins the round.
In this inverted version of the Dating Game, one "Bachelor" from each team is chosen while a female "contestant" (usually a celebrity visitor to the show's audience) asks questions to both bachelors. The "bachelors" must act as unlovable as possible, and the "bachelorette" must choose which of the two she would least want to go out on a date with.
Played in a style similar to "60-Second Sequel", each team is given a nursery rhyme, fable, or children's story before the commercial break and must come up with a skit based on that story. The audience reaction chooses the funnier skit, which wins the round for that team.
Teams must come up with funny jokes or captions to a series of celebrity pictures. DJ D-Wrek judges the jokes.
The audience members supply DJ D-Wrek with a list of occupations, and the teams have to come up with their idea of who would be the worst person in the world to ever hold that job.
The game plays in a similar fashion to "I'm On the List". The team captain acts as the DJ of a particularly loud club, and each member must pantomime the title and/or artist of the song they're chosen to request. (An example of this: In Season 1, with Cannon acting as the Red Squad's DJ, his fellow team member Rasika Mathur had to act out the song "Bump and Grind" by R. Kelly. So to get him to guess the title (unsuccessfully), Mathur tried a suggestive dance that only succeeded in distracting Cannon. Mathur joked that she just wanted to dance up against Cannon.) The team with the most correctly identified titles in 90 seconds wins.
Team members must come up with a new or modified version of audience-suggested dance moves. DJ D-Wrek judges each dance by signalling bell or buzzer and the team with the most bells wins the round A variant of this game is shown as an unaired game in the Christina Milian episode of the Season 1 DVD set in which both teams performed the same dance and the better team gained a point.
Team members must come up with an amusing outgoing message for the celebrity named. DJ D-Wrek judges each message with bells and buzzers and the most bells wins the round for the team.
Each team takes a nursery rhyme or children's song suggested by the audience and does a hip-hop remix. The winner is determined by the audience reaction.
Set-up similar to "I'm on the List" and "Deaf-Jam", each team captain acts as a couples counselor, while the team members act as various celebrity twosomes, which the "counselor" must identify. The most correct answers within 90 seconds wins the round for their team.
Each team must choose one member of their team to act as a "psychic" while another member goes into the audience and chooses random audience members to have ask the "psychic" to predict the future. DJ D-Wrek judges funny responses with bells and weak responses with a buzzer. The team with the most bells wins the round.
In this game each team is given a real life situation for which there is a seemingly negative reason (Example: President Bush needing to explain why the response to the victims of Hurricane Katrina was so mismanaged). The team must them choose one member to go and give a funny response as the reason the situation came to pass. Each response can begin with the phrase "What had happened was...", but it is not a set requirement. Good responses are awarded with a bell and bad ones with a buzzer. Most bells wins the round.
Each team has members use their best pick-up lines on a Wild 'n Out Girl. Funny pick-up lines are awarded with a bell (Example: Lloyd: "You know I'm not Fred Flintstone, but I can make your Bedrock."), corny pick-up lines with a buzzer. (Example: Leonard Robinson: "Listen here baby, you ain't never had herpes like this.")
The teams have to try to score points by bragging about their team captain. Funny brags score a bell while weak ones earn a buzzer (Example: Mikey Day: "My man Rev Run is so fly..."/Audience: "HOW FLY IS HE?"/Day: "He's so fly, he's got a 50,000 dollar limit... on his library card!" In the Jim Jones episode, the game was called "So Ballin'".
This game is a modified gospel version of "R & Beef" and "Remix". Each team (dressed in church robes) is given a particular topic about an audience member and the team has to sing a song on the spot about it. DJ D-Wrek and a "Wild 'n Out" Girl judge by audience reaction which is the funnier of the 2.
This game is played similarly to "I'm On the List", "Deaf Jam" and "Couples Counseling". The team captain has to identify whose celebrity child (real or imagined) the team member is pretending to be. Team with the most correct in 90 seconds wins the round.
The game is a modified version of "What Had Happened Was..." In this game, the teams are asked to "accept" an "award" for a project that certain celebrities should not have been too proud to be part of (Example: On Kelly Rowland's appearance she was the Black Squad team captain and was ragged on for her feature film debut in Freddy Vs. Jason. Rowland's response: "$50 million opening weekend. Thank you ladies and gentlemen." For that, she scored a point for Black Squad). Funny responses get a bell with weak responses getting buzzed.
In this game each squad is given a word from the dictionary and then one member of that squad has to use that word in a sentence with the only rule being that it has to be funny. Example: When the Black Squad was given the word "asinine", Corey Holcomb stepped up to the microphone and said, "Girl you better get back in the house. Your 'asinine' (ass is nine) months pregnant." Example: When the Red Squad was given the word "licorice", Mikey Day said (in an Asian accent) "Oh, there's a shooting star, licorice (make a wish)." "Example: When the Red Squad was given the word "soda", Mikey & (Taran) said, " Uh... I saw Underclassman and I was disappointed because it wasn't that good." "(Well Nick Cannon was in it soda.)" (so duh...)
In this game the teams are given an event and they must act out what happened before said event happened and then what happened after the event. Funny responses earn a bell and weak ones get a buzzer.
This game is featured as an unaired game from the Season 1 DVD box set. Each team sends up one member and start a conversation based on a scenario DJ D-Wrek provides. The players go back and forth in conversation, but the rule is that the players must listen to the first letter of the first word in the conversation. The other player must begin the first word in their statement with the letter that immediately follows it in the alphabet. A point is scored if 1) a player hesitates, 2) the wrong letter is used, or 3) DJ D-Wrek calls for a stop to the conversation.
This game is an unaired game featured on the Season 1 DVD set. In this game the audience suggests the names of famous people in history and the team must then act out a scene that alters the story to give it a more current pop culture reference to the person mentioned (Example: When Red Squad was given William Shakespeare as a topic the story was altered to have him be assisted in writing one of his classic plays, Romeo and Juliet, from Will Smith). The audience must choose the better of the 2 scenes.
This game was first introduced in Season 3. One member of each team takes the witness stand on set. Then, one member on each team asks the opposite team member on the witness stand an embarrassing question. If they could answer the question, they get a point. If they refuse to answer the question, they "plead the fif", thus the game's name, and the other team gets a point. (Example: Taran Killam to Nick Cannon when Big Boi was on the show: "What album did you like better, The Love Below or Speakerboxxx?)
This game was first introduced in Season 3. It is similar to that of "I'm On The List", "Deaf Jam", and "Couples Counseling". The captain of one team pretends to be the driver of a limousine. Then, a member on the same team pretends to be a famous person riding in the back of the limo. The team whose captain who correctly names the most celebrities in 90 seconds wins the game.
One player from each team sits down on a bed. DJ D-Wrek then tells them each celebrity they are going to be playing. They each take turns saying a funny thing based on the celebrity they are impersonating, but also relating to getting their "squabble" on in bed, as DJ D-Wrek says. Funny sayings get a point, while bad ones get a buzzer. The team that gets the most points wins the game.
A representative from each team will converse a sentence depending from what city they came from while the opposing team will try to decode the sentence to laymen's term. For example, Shawty (from Atlanta) & E40 (from Bay Area)
Two people from each team must say something to make a member from the other team hate on them if they hate then the other team gets the point.
Players from each team go out into the audience and sing a song introducing them as if they were their favourite relative. If it's funny they get a point(Example: When guest Ne-Yo was playing, he came up with, "This is my cousin and we kick it all the time. His girlfriend's pregnant with a baby that just might be mine." )
DJ D-Wrek starts a famous line and the teams have to finish it and make the line funny. Both teams get a turn per line. Bells and Buzzers Apply.
Two people act as presidents. Other teammates go to the audience to get questions. The "presidents" must answer the question. but it has to be funny. Bells & Buzers appply.
This game is played as a 'bonus round' at the end of every contest. Each team, to the beat of the music, lays down a punchline, usually a dis at a member of the opposite team, and if it's funny, they score a point for their team. Since the score is usually 2-1, it's easy for either team to take the win. Examples: Katt to Spanky: "If you don't like my hair then I could wear a hat. But you broke and you're fat there ain't no hat for that".Katt to Spanky: I did Friday after next you did barbershop I give Cube his props and that's where it stops.", Randall to Marques: "With hair like that you're looking like a retard, clean yourself up you might get your green card", Affion to Ne-Yo: "Hey yo, Ne-Yo let me show you how I get down. Stop doing Michael Jackson leave that to Chris Brown

JOHNSTOWN, CAMBRIA COUNTY--- A Johnstown Priest was robbed at knifepoint.
Monsignor Raymond Balta had a knock on his door Friday night. When he answered he was confronted by a man with a knife demanding money.
"There was a gentleman in a ski mask holding a butcher knife," said Balta. "He said give me all of your money."
Balta said he reached in his pocket and gave him what he had, but it apparently wasn't enough.
"I thought after I gave him the money he would run away, but he didn't," said Balta. "He said he wanted all of my money, but I didn't have anymore to give that's when the scuffle started."
The knife cut monsignors right hand and the robber ran away. Balta had to get 15 stitches. He says his door has always been open and despite everything it still will.
"I know the good Lord was watching over me on this one," said Balta.
Johnstown Police continue to follow leads, anyone who may have seen anything is asked to call them.

Stadium: MP's furious attack on 'humiliating shambles'
Last updated at 16:45, Thursday, 26 April 2012
COPELAND MP Jamie Reed has launched a furious attack on local government regeneration chiefs after West Cumbria lost the chance to host 2013 Rugby League World Cup games due to plans for a new £5.5 million stadium stalling.
Have your say
Well done Whitehaven...it didn't take long for the back stabbing and finger pointing to start. A glorious opportunity for a new stadium missed, a chance to host a World Cup event missed, chance of jobs and a much needed economic boost missed. Can I suggest the 'Miners' continue to blame the council, the council will no doubt make the claim that the Miners scuppered the deal. In the meantime Haven will continue to play in a ground that is falling down and the town is taken over by charity shops. Will the last one out, please switch off the lights.
Who cares may be now the money will be spent on some other part of west cumbria instead of whitehaven hogging all the cash as per usual, may be the roads in west cumbria could be done up or heres a thought build a by pass round whitehaven then us folk who dont think its the centre of the universe wont have the miss fortune of having to drive anywhere near it. This whole scheme was simply a look at us whilst the miners part was pure greed. Whitehaven through and through
And we continue to vote these people in! We need fresh viable people to stand against them.

One city – two high school division champions.
By the end of the week, Starkville could have one prep team with a state championship and another possibly on the way to one.
The Starkville Academy Volunteers are set to take on Washington School in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools Class AAA-Division II State Championship Friday afternoon. The game kicks off at 2 p.m. at Robinson-Hale Stadium on the campus of Mississippi College in Clinton.
Just a few hours later back in Starkville, the SHS Yellowjackets begin their playoff quest against Hernando in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs. That game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
It has been mentioned in this space before and deserves repeating that coaches Jeff Terrill at Starkville Academy and Jamie Mitchell at Starkville High have done outstanding jobs this season in getting their programs to where they are today.
The Vols and Jackets only have two losses each on the way to division titles.
For Starkville, both of its losses came in non-region games to Noxubee County 33-21 and West Point 33-12. The Green Wave, also a Class 5A school but in a different region, could be a playoff opponent for the Jackets if both can make it past the first round.
SHS went through its Class 5A, Region 2, District 6 schedule undefeated with the closest game being a 26-23 come-from-behind victory at Ridgeland. Being able to secure that decision appeared to give the Jackets the momentum needed to propel them to the region crown.
Hernando, the fourth-seeded team out of Class 5A, Region 1, District 2, has a 5-6 overall record so Starkville should not have any problem advancing if it plays solid football.
As for Starkville Academy, it has come from being 0-11 in 2009 and 3-8 in 2010 to a record of 10-2 overall and playing for a state championship this season.
Terrill said the progress is a testament to an outstanding group of young men that he's very proud of, but someone had to point the Vols in the right direction. That credit goes to Terrill and his coaching staff.
It wasn't a perfect season for Starkville Academy as there were a couple of hiccups along the way with losses to Jackson Prep 23-0 and Presbyterian Christian 21-3. Both times the Vols came up short, they were able to bounce back and get back to winning. SA won five games in a row to start the season, then claimed four-straight decisions after the Prep loss and defeated Clarksdale-Lee 28-0 following the tough trip to Presbyterian Christian to reach the state championship game.
This is the first time the Vols have played for a state title since 2005 when it beat Heritage Academy.
Washington will be a tough opponent Friday afternoon, but SA has shown on more than one occasion this season that it can hold its own against decent competition.
Regardless of what happens from this point on, the Vols and the Jackets have given this city many reasons to be proud of its football teams.
Somehow everything just seems to feel right again in Starkville.

For the latest dose Timbo hit up Quintin HQ to link up with BMX rider Jesse Whaley. After getting a tour of Quintin's DTLA production facility and look at the new Paradise Pack, Jesse hit the streets and a couple of secret DIY spots. Check the episode above and hit up Network A on Facebook for a chance to win a hat!
No matter where you go, you'll be in the South Pacific with Quintin's new Paradise Pack. Consisting of Campers, Snapbacks, their all new Bucket Hats, as well as wallets and a pocket tank, wearing the Paradise Pack officially gives you an excuse to walk into any place with a Mai Tai like what?! See the full collection after the jump.
There's not a whole lot of explanation needed for this Simple Session commercial Quintin just dropped other than its another example of top notch visuals coming out their LA compound. This one features Raul Ruiz, Brett Sube and Jackson Ratima. Enjoy.
Quintin and Skate Sauce staged another one of their battles this past weekend, this time at LA's Lincoln Plaza. As you can see in the video above, it was a pretty rad day of skating with Diego Najera, Vincent Luevanos, and Aramis Hudson taking the top three spots and some well deserved scratch.
Quintin's new headwear catalog for spring 2013 is looking fresh dipped. Featuring the required assortment of snapback and campers, the collection also features their new hybrid panel hat and gang of dope color, pattern, and fabric treatments. Look for the whole line at Quintin dealers now. More looks after the jump.
Rather than just shoot some flicks on a seamless, Quintin took Sammy Baptista to the streets for the release of their new Foreign Hybrid hat. The camo/khaki paneled hat hits Quintin dealers now.
Quintin has what we feel is their best piece to date with the new Landing windbreaker in camo. From super lightweight ripstop nylon construction to 3M visibility taping on the back and all the extra details like armpit ventilation, mesh lining and adjustable hood pulls, it's got everything a perfect spring jacket needs. Plus its camo. Catch us in the streets in this one. More looks plus a video are after the jump.
Fresh off of their Hood Olympics in Oakland, Quintin has flipped from BMX to skateboarding and moved it down to LA for their collaborative event with Skate Sauce – Battle for LA. The battle will hit 5 LA skate spots with the top three skaters at each getting some spending money. Adriano Lachovski took North Hollywood followed by Lamont Holt and Chris Mendes. The Battle for Hollenbeck is next, stay tuned!
Despite being in the hat game for a minute, LA based Quintin has never put out a bucket hat. All that done changed with the release of the Hideout Bucket. Check it out as team rider Nate Richter gives it a whirl. Another look after the jump.

VIDEO: Facebook COO - Email's a dying breed
If you want to see how the majority of people will behave in the future then look at how teenagers are behaving today. That's the message Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg put across during her presentation at the Nielsen Consumer 360 Conference in Las Vegas.
And what teenagers are certainly not doing is emailing according to the figures Sandberg produced:
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news", she said. "But in consumer technology, if you want to know what people like us will do tomorrow, you look at what teenagers are doing today. And the latest figures say that only 11 per cent of teenagers e-mail daily. So e-mail, I can't imagine life without it, is probably going away".
Sandberg stated that teenagers are more likely to send an SMS or, less surprisingly since Sandberg works for the biggest social network in the world, they are likely to use the messaging services within their social networking service.
The 11 per cent figure was based on a report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project that also found 54 per cent of teenagers texted on a daily basis, 38 per cent made or received voice calls on their mobiles and 30 per cent of teens talked to each other on a landline phone every day. Only 25 per cent used social networking sites every day to communicate with their friends but Sandberg expects this figure to grow.
So, is the email really a dying breed? Do you use email regularly or do you stick to Facebook or Twitter direct messaging? Or, are you a textaholic? Tell us how you interact using the comments below.

House of the Week: Seattle's Ballard Big House – Real Estate for Sale in Santa Monica
Click here to view the embedded video.
2007 NW 61st St, Seattle WA
For sale: $ 789,000
From the street, it looks like any church. Upon closer scrutiny, a few unusual features stand out: A cobblestone wall, rusted tricycles sitting on both the porch roof and jutting out of the wall. Then there's an enormous window featuring a crow.
All the signs point to the possibility that this old church called Ballard Big House in Seattle has been transformed into something a little less ecclesiastic, a lot more personal.
Filled with collected items, whimsical details and vibrant art, this former church is indeed part house, part gallery and part neighborhood gathering place.
Homeowners David Chatt and Ron Cole, Jr. were not actively home shopping when they stumbled across the property. Their former home, a duplex in another neighborhood of Seattle, was small and when a friend told them about a church for sale in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, they stopped by to check it out.
"I am someone who loves old buildings," Chatt explained. "I love places that have been a part of the fabric of the community. I walk around neighborhoods and am sad to see wrecking balls and I try to think how to recreate something that has a use that's practical for now."
The church was something that Chatt and Cole believed could be re-invented.
The two had to jump through some hoops to get a mortgage on the 6,000-square-foot building. There weren't any showers in the two bathrooms and, as Cole relates, the two men would have to trek outside to the attached caretakers' apartment to bathe when they first moved in.
Five years later, the home isn't completely renovated, but Chatt and Cole have more than put their mark on it. The two bathrooms — one was formally a baptismal font — are gorgeous, full-tiled modern installations, and the basement they use as a living space feels more loft-like than subterranean.
Other whimsical details include Chatt's collection of beads and artwork — he's an artist focusing mainly on glass beadwork and cast glass — as well as a 20-foot high swing that hangs from the sanctuary rafters. One of Cole and Chatt's favorite features? The church tower with views that span the city skyline, Puget Sound and surrounding mountains.
"The house is us," said Chatt. "I like the place that I live in to reflect my choices and the way I live. I always find it surprising that people don't want that."
Not only is the house a showcase for Chatt's artwork and scavenged materials, including an installation of found bowling balls on the front steps, but it's been used for events: Community gatherings, CD releases, art shows, weddings and even a funeral.
It's Chatt and Cole's wish that their home continue to be used as a gathering place.
"I'd like to drive by this building and recognize it. I'd like it to be better than it is now, not torn down and replaced or turned into some plastic-clad monstrosity," said Chatt. "I think it's a great old building and I hope it continues to be a beloved part of the community."

KNOSSOS is one of the world's renowned archaeological sites. Thousands of people visit it each year, scrambling round the huge ancient ruins that sprawl across the countryside outside Heraklion in Crete.
British archaeologist Arthur Evans was the first serious scholar to excavate this site. From the stones, pottery and fragments of wall paintings, he decided that this was the palace of the mythical King Minos. He went even further. Not content to leave the ruins ruined, he built pillars on top of the rubble to show how the palace would have looked in ancient times. And he named the long-gone inhabitants and their culture Minoan.
Was he right? Or had reading the classical myths of ancient Greece coloured his imagination to such an extent that he found not only Minos, ...

"The invite was simple, clear, and perfect for the occasion. The color choice was perfect. Everyone that I spoke to was extremely helpful and considerate. Will use them again for my next party."
"We used this invitation for our rehearsal dinner and it came out great. The invitation was elegant yet simple and the quality was beautiful. I highly recommend it."
"I ordered this invitation for my son's rehearsal dinner. I liked the way I could personalize with the wedding colors and this tied it to the "Big" day. I added a picture from their engagement photos and I think that was the perfect touch to honor this young couple just starting out. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper, the colors and the sharpness of the picture on the back. I would recommend this card and this business whole heartedly. Thank you for meeting my expectation and then some!"

March 14 coalition meet in Ashrafieh, Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013. (The Daily Star/Stringer)
BEIRUT: The Future Movement-led March 14 coalition called on Lebanese authorities Wednesday to arrest pro-Assad gunmen for their role in the gunbattles in the northern city of Tripoli.
"The prosecutor general must act immediately to arrest Jabal Mohsen gunmen," said a statement issued by March 14's Secretariat General after an extraordinary meeting held in Tripoli.
"They must be disarmed," the statement added, in reference to fighters loyal to head of the Arab Democratic Party Rifaat Eid who controls Jabal Mohsen.
March 14 also called for the formation of a "crisis cell" to follow up on humanitarian assistance for residents in the embattled region of Tripoli.
At least 30 people were killed and more than 200 wounded in the latest round of gunbattles which broke out on May 19 between the predominantly Alawite neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen and mainly Sunni Bab al-Tabbaneh.
March 14 criticized the government of caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati for "distancing" itself from the Tripoli violence.
"Self-disassociation [policy] from what is happening is a great sin and a crime that must be stopped," said the statement read by Fares Soueid.

Latest News
With $10 billion in electrical system upgrades planned over the next decade, SaskPower has applied to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel for a $4 to $6 per month average increase in residential power bills.
SaskPower announced on Tuesday they had submitted an application to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel for a 4.9 per cent rate increase, effective Jan. 1, 2013. SaskPower says the $48 to $72 per year increase for residential customers is required to fund investments in the province's electrical system to keep up with Saskatchewan's growing economy and maintain electrical reliability.
"This rate increase is needed to fund investments into the province's electrical system to ensure our customers continue to benefit from a safe, reliable and sustainable power supply," SaskPower President and CEO Robert Watson stated in a press release. "Demand for power is expected to grow by 2.9 per cent per year from 2011-2021, and we need to be ready for that growth."
During the next decade, SaskPower anticipates they will spend $10 billion on the province's electrical system, plus another $5 billion on commitments to the company's Power Purchase Agreements. Funding is needed in part for the ongoing replacement and refurbishment of the electrical system, while other funds would support the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
SaskPower highlights a pair of major projects account for a majority of their capital expenses in 2013: the carbon capture and storage project at Boundary Dam Power Station and the 200 megawatt expansion of Queen Elizabeth Power Station.
To help offset the impact of rate increases, SaskPower will continue to help customers reduce their electrical use, decrease their power bills, and help protect the environment through a variety of energy efficiency and conservation programs. Visit saskpower.com/save_power for more information.
The opposition Saskatchewan NDP note SaskPower's five per cent rate increase request would not have been necessary if the SaskParty government hadn't taken a last-minute, emergency cash grab from the Crown. The higher rates in 2013 would generate $90.8 million, not quite enough to offset the provincial government's use of $120 million from SaskPower bank accounts last year.
"The SaskParty government should be allowing SaskPower to grow and invest in energy security for the province," stated Trent Wotherspoon, NDP critic for SaskPower. "Instead, SaskPower is forced to turn to ratepayers' wallets."
Wotherspoon said that these tactics simply amount to a "back door tax."
"Everyday people need their government to make the monthly bills just a little bit easier instead of adding to people's expenses," said Wotherspoon.

The name of the image is TSS0TBLH.psd, found inside the 13 Channel Mix folder. Of course, the acronym stands for the Sun Sets On Their Blond Little Heads because it does for me, anyway. In this case, we don't have a setting sun. We have got an interior shot, and we have got a low-end digital camera, your standard rinky-dink camera. It actually was pretty nice camera. Really, it's like $400, $500 camera.
But, it's just that the strobe is mounted so close to the lens element that the light entered their little pupils there, actually big pupils because they were dilated and reflected right back into the camera lens, and we get red eye as a result, because the interior of the retina is red and reflective, highly reflective. So we got these guys have terrible red eye. We saw how the Red Eye tool did not help us out in this particular case because it tends to make pupils gray, more often than making them black. So what's the better solution, well the better solution is to invoke the Channel Mixer.
So let's take a look at our channels in the first place here, Ctrl+1 for the red channel, that's Command+1 on the Mac of course, and low and behold, we have got a lot of red going inside those pupils. Who would have guessed, given that we have red eye. Well, I think everybody would have. So the red channel is going to be your bad channel where red eye is concerned. It's the channel that needs to be fixed essentially, more than any of the others. If you are lucky, you will see the effect only in the red channel. So the pupils will light up in the red channel and they'll look great in the green and blue channels. That's something across your finger is for.
In this case, our desires are forted, our wishes go unrequited because if we press Ctrl+2 or Command+2 on the Mac in order to switch the green channel, you can see that the pupils don't look too good in the green channel. They do look a heck of a lot better, but they still look wrong and whereas Sammy's, my youngest boy Sam, his pupils look pretty darn good inside of the green channel. They look okey-doke. Max's just look terrible. Once again, it's because of those coronas my elder son has, Max. Those coronas around the pupils look just terrible. We have got really heavy black outline going on. Let's go ahead just for the sake of completion here. Let's go ahead and check out the blue channel as well. I am going to press Ctrl+3 or Command+3 on a Mac in order to switch the blue channel and we have got problems inside the blue channel as well.
In fact, the blue channel is only slightly better than the red channel. It's worse than the green channel. So we are going to do some channel mixing, but we can't expect too much from it, because we don't really have a good channel to work from. We just have three bad channels that we are going to try to blend together. I am going to go ahead and switch back to the RGB image. I am going to press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac, and I am going to click and hold on this Black/white icon here and choose Channel Mixer. I am going to call this Red Eye just because that's what we are going to do, and I am going to click OK.
Actually, you know what, I forgot to do something. I should have gone ahead and selected the pupils first, because otherwise if we start fixing things, what's going to happen, we are going to effect the entire image. So let's go ahead and generate our selection for starters and you select the pupils using the Elliptical Marquee tool. You just go in there and you start selecting things manually using the tool. It's not hard to select pupils. Actually, it's pretty darn easy if you have big pupils like this to work with. But, just because it's fairly routine and mundane, I have gone ahead and done it for you in advance. Go to the Channels palette and you will see this channel right here. This Alpha channel called Pupils. Go ahead and click on it and you will see the pupils that I have drawn for you.
If you go and zoom in, you will see that after drawing the pupils around Max's eyes, I went ahead and blurred them. I have applied the Gaussian Blur filter with a radius of 2, and because Sammy is in lower focus, he is blurrier inside the original photograph. I have gone ahead and blurred his pupils with a radius of 4. If I show the RGB image at the same time, you can see what these pupils look like and through this Quick Mask Mode here, you can see that I have gone ahead and drawn my selections larger than the pupils. So I have more room to work with. So that I am enclosing any coronas that might be surrounding these eyes.
Let's go ahead and scroll over to Max. You can see that I have gone ahead and selected his coronas as well, those hard edges around the pupils. All right. So back to the RGB image. Turn off the mask, and then Ctrl+Click or Command+Click on that Alpha channel in order to load it as a selection. Now, let's go back to the Layers palette. Let's zoom out a little bit here so we can see both of the boys. Now, I am going to once again Alt or Option+Click on the Black/White icon and choose the Channel Mixer function, and I am going to call this New adjustment layer Red eye, and I am going to click OK, and notice that it's automatically assigned to just the selected region of the image. So we have a layer mask that Photoshop creates for us.
Now, I could go ahead and try to dial in a Monochrome version of the pupils, and I could sort of take a lot of the color out of there like so. That is, I could take a lot of the brightness out of those pupils. But, if I do, notice it's going to look pretty gummy and weird. It actually doesn't look good. It looks like, remember Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, that Rankin-Bass Production. And remember how Donner or one of those darn, lovable reindeer grabbed a clump of mud and threw it on his son's nose? I think, that's what we have done.
That's pretty much the equivalent except I have taken a couple of clumps of mud and thrown them in my kid's eyes at this point. I am worse than Donner. I am worse dad than Donner man. Donner was kind of a jerk of a dad, I have to say. All right. So anyway, we don't want to use monochromes basically where it comes down to them. I am going to go ahead and turn off that check-box. Notice that turning off the check-box isn't enough. It goes ahead now, Photoshop says, Oh! Well, I think you want a negative 2+21+ 20 in my case on a red, green, and blue basis. I will go ahead and apply it to every single one of the channels. So in another words, makes more work for me having done this.
So I am going to go ahead and press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac and click on that Reset button, formerly canceled. It becomes Reset when you press the Alt or Option key. So what we want to do is, we want to dial in values for red, green, and blue independently. I am going to take red out of the Red channel because we don't need any red channel at work inside of these pupils because red channel is where the pupils are basically white. It's not doing us any good. So I am going to change the red value to 0 and I am going to change the green value to 80%, and the blue value to 20% like so. Then, I am going to go over to, the green channel is fine at 100% right now. Then, I am going to go over to the Blue channel and I am going to change it to 60%, and also 40%. So oops, 40%, so 60% green, and 40% blue.
That ends up darkening the pupils a little bit, and more or less neutralizing them. Although, you might see that there is a little bit of a purple cast going on, especially compared with a green of the irises. Now, neither of my children have green eyes as it turns out. However, inside of this photograph, they are both looking green. Sammy actually has brown eyes, and Max has blue eyes. But, for some reason, they are both showing up the shades of green inside of this photo. So we want to make the pupils a little greener as well to match. So here's what I decided to do. I decided to take 3% worth of color out of both green and blue inside of the blue channel. So I took these values down to 57% and 37% respectively, and then I went to the Red channel, and I took them down by 4.
So 76% and 16%, and I am doing that of course by nudging the values using the Down-arrow key. Then, I went over to green and I raised that value a little bit. I took it up to 102%. Now, you can see that they have a little bit of a green cast. It actually more or less neutralizes this right hand pupil, Max's left pupil of course. But, it makes the other pupils a little bit green, which is fine, which is better than the alternative. So I will go ahead and click OK at this point. Now, if you are lucky, if you had some good stuff to work with inside of the Green and Blue channels, this would pretty much take care of your problem. Now, it wouldn't necessarily be those exact values, but it would be values in that range.
In other words, you are going to back off the content of the Red channel. You are going to put blue and green into the Red channel, and then you might have to put some blue and green into the Blue channel, and you are probably going to leave the Green channel more or less alone. That's kind of standard when you are fixing red eye. However, in our case, it doesn't do the trick. It doesn't completely take care of the problem because we don't have red eye anymore, but we do have that gray eye effect and we also have some pretty bad coronas around Max's eyes. Now, I could go ahead and try to sink that by setting the Blend mode to Multiply, but then we get our red eyes back and it looks terrible. We could try some other modes too like Linear Burn, but that's just going to look wrong.
So we're better off just leaving the Blend mode set to Normal. Instead, what we are going to do, as I say, if you are lucky, that's going to solve your problem. If you are not lucky, in our case we aren't, and it doesn't solve your problem, then you need to apply some additional modifications to those pupils, and we are going to apply those additional modifications in the next exercise.

Increase in Body Mass Index decreases body satisfaction of their abdominal, arm and thigh regions in young Japanese women [in Japanese]
Ishigaki, Tohru, Kagawa, Masaharu, Nakashima, Satoshi, & Kanda, Tsunemi (2009) Increase in Body Mass Index decreases body satisfaction of their abdominal, arm and thigh regions in young Japanese women [in Japanese]. Japanese Journal of Physiological Anthropology (Nihon Seiri Jinrui Gakkaishi), 14(2), pp. 51-58.
The aim of the present study was to examine body concern and satisfactions in 191 female university students and their relationships with measured body composition and circumferences of selected body parts. Body composition and circumference measurements of participants were conducted after obtaining their consent. Body concern and satisfaction were determined using the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and the Body parts and General subscales from the Body Satisfaction Scales (BSS). Increase in body composition and circumferences were associated with decrease in body concern and satisfaction. Increase in body size, including circumferences did not decrease whole body satisfaction but increased dissatisfaction at the abdominal, arm and thigh regions.

Finalterm now has tabs, horizontal and vertical split screens
Finalterm, a terminal emulator that's being developed by Philipp Emanuel Weidmann, a mathematician and Linux Software Engineer from Heidelberg, Germany, has been updated.
The first public development version of Finalterm was released a few months ago, but was slow and lacked features that are standard on existing terminal emulators. With this latest code update, I think it's almost ready for prime time. (See FinalTerm: A terminal emulator to rule them all.)
The most important features it now has are support for tabs and split screens – horizontal and vertical. This GIF image shows how those features work.

'The Fashion Show' finale: Calvin, Dominique or Jeffrey? Vote!
Before we get to the finalists, can we have a moment of silence for Iman's departure from our weekly airwaves. She definitely brought that show to a whole new level. To Iman, we dedicate the "ultimate" in "The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection."
Now, the finalists:
Calvin: While the general viewing audience seemed to really want him out and even Iman has said that she was over him, Calvin out-b***hed the competition and narrowly survived several eliminations. But, this is a television show. And no matter how you swing it, Calvin gives good TV. Would we want him designing anything for us? No. We'd rather not pay someone to insult us. In the end, though, he consistently delivers well-made clothing and it's always a surprise how he includes functionality into his designs. Plus, he gave us the phrase, "Here go hell come." And for that, we are eternally grateful.
Dominique: As the one of the youngest and least experienced of the contestants, she worried us in the beginning. But as the competition progressed, she tempered her just-out-of-fashion-school taste and managed to make homemade crafts wearable. When she started romancing the only presumably straight guy in the competition (which, to us, is akin to hitting on the deejay at the club -- desperate), we worried she'd lose her focus. Instead, she started creating the best stuff of the competition. And when David got booted, she shed a few tears and got back to work. Thatta girl!
Jeffrey: He was a frontrunner from the beginning. While his personal style was a mix of Prince and the old woman sitting on her porch drinking sweet tea in a muumuu, his designs were surprisingly sophisticated. He was traded between the Nami and Emerald teams, but persevered when faced with adversity (cough, Calvin). When he was outed as a virgin, we felt so bad for him and then we thought, "maybe the muumuus aren't working for you?"
Diva singer Mary J. Blige guest-judges in "The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection" finale airing Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo.

It's unfortunate that some people felt offended by your article. When I loaded up Neowin today, I saw the article and thought nothing of it. I figured it was just a simple yes or no poll. And I thought it was weird that there were a couple of threads about the article. In this day and age though, I guess you have to be "politically correct". Hate is a strong word but even so, it shouldn't affect people negatively. Ignoring the negative connotation, hate and dislike are very similar words. A lot of people use the word lightly nowadays and I'm guessing that's why it was used.
It was not my intention to create a hate war or flame war, and I certainly wasn't looking to bring the site into disrepute, and for that I am sorry.
I shouldn't have to ask for intelligent responses, but your point has been noted
It really wasn't that big of a deal, maybe the term "hate" could have been replaced with "dislike" but other then that anyone who took offense to the story personally either must have a first name of Apple and thought it was about them or needs to take a serious vacation from the internet and do some soul-searching.....
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:34
Personally I think it is absolutely pathetic the fuss people kick up if a company is even hinted at being less than a god to them, OBSESSION MUCH?
It's not YOUR company, you have nothing to do with that company no matter how much you dream, you only own some extortionately priced iSomething, Geez, you sound like .... actually you don't even sound like someone who owned Apple, you sound like a fool... protecting something that is not even yours as if it was your own love child? Come on... grow up.
Do you hate Apple is a perfectly fine question, UNLESS you know more people will say YES than NO and that would scar you for life and cause you to rock uncontrollably in the corner of your padded iCell
Neowin should be able to post questions aimed at anyone, and not have to remove them on demand of 13 year old fanbois who can't cope, you know, the type who make youtube videos screaming to "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE AAAAHHHHH"
It is sad some members deemed this response necessary. I had no problem with the poll personally, and actually had a bit more of an issue with it being removed.
Had it been a poll saying:
Do you hate Google?
Do you hate Microsoft?
Do you hate NVIDIA?
Really anything else, the backlash wouldn't have been nearly as severe. Heck, we have already had many polls and official discussions on Microsoft after Windows 8, including a poll basically asking if you hate it. But because it was Apple, the backlash came out. It was a completely reasonable poll, with some reasonable and good responses. Apple "fans" are always on the constant defensive and feel the need to lash out or justify the hate towards the product of their choice. Most people truly don't care, but Apple garners the most hate because of their business practices that clearly do harm the industry, so it was a completely valid poll and question to be asked, and discussed. And it was well discussed amongst the commenters.
Regardless, I don't think you should have removed it, or stood down from your position on it. It was completely in-bounds and reasonable and a few members got hurt about it, because that is simply how Apple fans react. It isn't some new behavior, nor unknown, and I refuse to be politically correct on this, because some people just need to grow up. Now, you should have known this was going to happen and maybe had the editorial prepared much sooner to combat the initial response and let it die down.
Other than that, I try to stay out of this stuff, simply because it isn't worth arguing over.

Josh Barnett looked like a child in that fight. Wouldn't mind seeing Browne vs. Cain...
EDIT: Elbows were clearly on the ear. Not illegal strikes, unless of course you want to bring up the ambiguous 12-6 rule
Are those legal?
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
Those elbows are NASTY! Can Josh come back and make one last run after this loss (36 years old or something close) or is he pretty much done.
COMING SOON: New Sig!
Two fights with borderline illegal elbows and then he mocks Josh. Nice.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
pfft. Cain would wreck his shit. Entirely different class of wrestler younger too. Can't wait for Cain to fuck him up.
edit; elbows were legal btw. side of the head.
"After Overeem lands two knees, Fujita backs into the corner then sheepishly tries sneaking past. Alistair punches him back into the corner and lands a third knee that I swear lights on fucking fire before it impacts.". -cracked version of the climax of Fujita vs Overeem fight.
Josh probably got dazed when Browne landed that knee and those elbows just finished him off. Those elbows ere perfectly legal.
Okay I officially hate Travis Browne. What a tool.

There are many things that can make a home look special. One of the most prized aspects to many homes is the garden. This is because an avid gardener will often put an enormous amount of effort into crafting a garden into a work of art. Yes, with the right effort, a garden can become a work of visual splendor. There are a number of ways a simple home garden can reach such lofty heights and they are not as tough as some assume. Here a a few tips on how to get there….
A house is only as good as its foundation and a house's garden is only as good as the soil in which it is planted. If you keep the soil healthy then the flowers and plants that spring from the soil will also be healthy. That is why it is always important to add proper water and nutrients to the soil. This will do tremendous good as far as making enhancing the look of the life that springs from the garden.
Flowers with bold colors are always a great component to any home garden. There are many different types of flowers that can be added to a garden's mix and all of them have their own unique value. However, brightly colored flowers have much special appeal. Namely, they can make any environment which they are introduced look upbeat and cheerful. This, of course, can make for a very inviting home and garden.
Conversely, just as you wish the best and the brightest flowers to remain in your garden, you will also want to keep weeds out. Weeds not only undermine the visual value of a garden, they can actually harm the plants and flowers that inhabit the garden. That is why it is critical to always be on the lookout for weeds and eliminate them as they appear.
Pests have to go, too! Just as weeds are a detriment so are pests such as insects. Bugs, slugs, and beetles can all wreck havoc on a garden. When you spot them, make sure you take the proper steps to evict them! If a pesticide you purchase at the store doesn't work, you will probably want to call in a professional. Yes, the presence of pests is that serious.
Adding fertilizer at regular intervals is helpful as well. This will provide any benefits to the plants and flowers in the garden. As a result, your garden will remain perennially healthy and alive. Again, most of these tips are easy to enact. If you follow them, your garden will be safe, secure, healthy, and appealing. Now, doesn't that sound like a good thing?

Oh I would love to be able grow roses again! We've been in a drought for 12 years and can't spare even a drop of water for such a thing as a garden.
Oh I would love to be able grow roses again! We've been in a drought for 12 years and can't spare even a drop of water for such a thing as a garden.
I miss having a vegetable garden — some great tips — we have so many critters out back that it's not feasible to have such a garden. So, we go for a flower garden!
I'm total agree with all your points.Specially on weeds. Because they harm the flowers and plants badly. Even pests are the most dangerous things for garden. They can finish whole garden in some weeks. So we have to take care with using proper advice of professionals. Thanks for sharing such meaningful post.
