Research & Innovation for Improving Water Use Efficiency
Laurie Tollefson Vice President International Commission on Irrigation & Drainage (ICID) 1
Introduction Agricultural Water Use Efficiency • Water is critical to sustainable agricultural production • To increase agricultural production with existing land and water resources will require increased water use efficiency (more crop/drop) • Requires integrated engineering, agronomic & institutional approaches • Research and Innovation Key 2
International Commission On Irrigation And Drainage -
Established 1950 Head Office – New Delhi, India 110 member country NGO Numerous affiliated International Organizations (FAO, UN Water, IWMI, World Bank) National Committee in each member country. Leading scientific, technical, professional and international NGO in the field of irrigation, drainage and flood control. Conducts work through 35 working groups, tasks forces and committees.

Institutional Needs i) Institutions -
Institutions dealing with water management are often complex. Water resource planning, assessment and construction of water schemes of National Water Resource Institutes staffed by engineers. On-farm management and extension handled by Ministry of Agriculture. Lack of co-ordination and co-operation resulted in poor water use efficiency Better co-ordination required.
responsibility -
ii) Water Pricing -
Governments have traditionally built and operated irrigation systems with minimal charge for their service. Water often allocated to irrigation districts which does not reflect market value. Here reluctance to adopt efficiency measures. When prices reflect scarcity or government regulates the use, producers will use it more efficiently. Institutional structure and rules required 36
iii) Water User Associations -
High correlation to irrigation project sustainability Farmer involvement in planning, construction and management Farmers contribute to O & M costs Improper institutional support and training Lower standards of O & M and service delivery.
Education and Training -
Crucial to improved water use efficiency. - Complex subject but often limited training for irrigation project operation and maintenance staff - Best design, installation and equipment does not ensure success - Farmer must understand production of crop but also operation and maintenance of systems - Inadequate extension and training for producers - Education and extension must be government priorities.
v) Participatory Research -
Farmers participating with researchers and extensionists in setting research direction Better communication is essential Multidisciplinary approach
Future Challenges for Research and Innovation • • • • •
Improved multidisciplinary team approach (plant, soil, hydrology, socio-economic, environment, policy) Identifying research needs - Participatory approach Policy relevant research Dissemination and utilization of appropriate information to end users Capacity building and training of scientists and extension personnel

The Pro-lite. Has anyone tested one on a jammer yet? It has not appeared in a GOL test that I can recall.
First time I've seen it.
Very interesting...
Not good. If there's one thing that we don't need, its easier-to-use lidar guns on the market.
Yeah and who knows, maybe the scheme/pulse rate is different than the PL-III. That would mean that jammers would need to be updated in order to jam it. :shock:
At 1 pound it is 1/3 the weight of a P3.
I was under the impression that most of the jammers simply match the incoming pulse rate? Was that incorrect?Originally Posted by jimbonzzz
Generally, they are programmed to recognise each individual gun, and then they determine the best way to jam that gun by referencing an internal "look up table". But at least some will have a mode of operation where they at least attempt to jam unknown guns by "matching pulses", though it doesn't always do the job.
Supposably, the new Drivesmart uses "matching" as the main mode of operation, though it is still in development.
I would bet the old LE-10 might jam it though...
Which method does the LP905 use? What about the Anitlaser AL6?Originally Posted by jimbonzzz
I'm not certain, but as far as I know none of the current jammers use "pulse matching" as a default mode of operation, they all recognise the individual guns.
For example, the AL6 couldn't jam the Ultralyte LR at GOL. It gave off a different audio tone which meant that the gun wasn't recognised.
If Drivesmart comes out with this, it will be a first. But something tells me if it was that easy, they all would be doing it.
from what I have learnt, you are correct Jimbo, reads the Pulse and throws it back...when it is hooked to the drive smart unit using the adaptor it will show you on the display what gun is being used
WOW look at how small it is...looks like a osprey or somthing...

With restricted free agency looming next summer, Jimmy Butler has emerged as a solid two-way player for the Bulls, reports Nick Friedell of ESPNChicago.com. Butler has maintained a reputation as a solid defender since he entered the league, but he has shown a potent offensive game this season, including a career-high 32 points in Saturday's loss to the Pacers. "Last year was an up-and-down year because of all the injuries," said Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau. "But he's healthy, he was in great shape this summer, he got lighter, I think he understands the league really well. He's strong on both sides of the ball and he's scoring a lot of different ways. He's getting to the line, shoot, probably six more times, eight more times." Butler and the Bulls were unable to reach a deal on an extension before the October 31st deadline, with Chicago reportedly offering about $11MM annually and Butler seeking $13MM a year.
More from around the Central Division:
- An early-season lineup change is paying dividends for Shawn Marion and the Cavaliers, writes Chris Fedor of the Northeast Ohio Media Group. Cleveland is 4-1 since Marion replaced Dion Waiters as a starter, and the 15-year veteran's contributions are extending far beyond the box score. "Shawn has taken to it and the team has taken to it," Cavaliers coach David Blatt said after Saturday's win over the Hawks. "I really thought Shawn did a fabulous job tonight. He held maybe the best three-point shooter in the NBA [Kyle Korver] to no shots. He didn't get any shots. That had a big effect on the game." Marion joined the Cavs during the offseason as a free agent, signing a one-year veteran's minimum deal.
- Marion's time as a starter could be short-lived, as rookie guard Joe Harris may soon force another change to the lineup, writes Jason Lloyd of The Akron Beacon Journal. The rookie second-round pick should be starting games in a couple of weeks, or possibly sooner, a source tells Lloyd. Harris has impressed the team with his energy, defense and ball movement, and has an important supporter in teammate LeBron James. "Joe Harris is going to be a big piece for our team," James said. "He's going to have his rookie mistakes, we know that, but mistakes can be covered when you play hard. That's one thing that kid is doing."
- The Pistons' offense will continue to run through Andre Drummond, Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy insisted to David Mayo of MLive. Drummond and Van Gundy had a meeting Friday morning, after which the third-year center expressed frustration over his role in the offense and said he plans to focus more on defense and rebounding. "We're not going to go away from him," Van Gundy said. "I think what he's got to do, he can't get frustrated when he's not getting the ball. Nothing should take away from his rebounding." Drummond is still on his rookie contract and under the Pistons' control through the 2016/17 season.
- With all the offseason turnover in Milwaukee, the biggest change in the Bucks has been an improved dedication to defense, coach Jason Kidd tells Charles F. Gardner of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "You can look at the individual but you take it as a team, the pride defensively," said Kidd, the first-year Bucks coach whose rights were dealt from Brooklyn to Milwaukee during the summer in exchange for two second-round picks. "When someone gets beat, your teammate trusts there is someone there to help. And we're starting to end plays by getting the rebound." Entering Saturday, the Bucks were third in the NBA in defensive efficiency and points allowed.

My friend and I enjoy traveling to eat at this particular Red Lobster. The meals are always well prepared and the server staff are especially friendly and helpful. On this Sunday(7-9)our server Linsey was very nice and answered questions quickly with a lovely smile.
We go to the Red Lobster in Bradley IL. for Anniversaries ,Birthdays, lunches and dinners. No holds barred we usually get crab legs or lobster.
My wife and I took my father out for his 81st birthday and tried this Red Lobster. It was GREAT!! The food and service were both awesome!! I wish I could remember our servers name, but it escapes me.

ESata vs. Sata Adapter Differation?
Mike Lynch
I purchased a Seagate External Sata Drive several years ago. It came with a Sata Interface Card from Promise. It works just fine but it does not work with Applications that rely on an "External" Hard Drive for Backup and Restore functions. From what I can determine, the Drive I purchased is "physically" external from my System but due to the Sata Interface Card appears as an additional Internal Sata Drive which cannot be used by the Backup and Restore Applications. They want a "real" external Drive as my USB Drives work just fine with the B&R Applications.
If so, might you recommend one?
Best regards,
Mike Lynch

More about esata sata adapter differation
Best answer
eSATA specifications made mandatory certain features like Hot Swap capability that are essential for a drive device that may be connected and disconnected while the system is running, whereas plain SATA did not require those features. Likewise, eSATA changed to higher signal voltages to allow data cables to be twice as long. Now, many manufacturers of plain SATA and SATA II controllers included some or all of these mandatory eSATA features even though they are not required in plain SATA controllers. For that reason, some people with eSATA external devices have had success with simple adapter plates that only convert a SATA port connector to a eSATA connector. They are depending on eSATA features built into the mobo plain SATA port. Some others use those adapters and simply never try to use the extra eSATA features, whether they are present or missing. The trouble is, most times you cannot tell whether a SATA controller has mandatory eSATA upgraded features built it.
In your case with a PCI-slot mounted SATA controller card, you'd have to go to its manufacturer's website to see if it can perform as a true eSATA controller. However, that point is moot. The card has some kind of port connector on it and you're not going to change that. From your description it sounds as if the port is plain SATA, not eSATA, and the external drive unit also has a SATA connector on it.
I am intrigued that your Backup and Restore applications refuse to make backup data sets to a device it determines is not external. Is there no way to bypass that restriction?

Who needs me to chime in on the situation in Greece or the future of the Euro? Well, probably nobody, considering the fact that I am no economist and have absolutely no expertise in the area.
But I heard a number of things over the weekend, and I tend to believe them… first, that in the last rounds of "bailouts," 90% of the money went to German and French "zombie" banks, not to Greece itself—a situation that is eerily similar to the US "bailout" in which the highest priority of American politicians seems to have been the salvation of the banksters (who are still held unaccountable for their financial crimes) rather than the suffering of the American people; second, that the Greek people are already working harder and suffering more than their fellow-Europeans including the Germans; third, that when the markets opened on Monday, yes, there were losses, but these were only in the area of 1%-2% and seemed to be much less severe than the end-of-the-world predictions of many observers including the financial media; and fourth, that there appears to be an "austerity psychosis" afoot in Merkel's Berlin. The Germans even have a word for it—Abbauwahn—which suggests to me that it may be more an example of political groupthink, rather than something that is real and predictive of the Euro's existential future.
I have also heard that Angela Merkel and her financial advisors are not exactly sharpest knives in the drawer. Merkel has been described as a consensus politician who rules by opinion polls, rarely taking strong positions. Merkel's surveys of the German people tell her that bailing out Greece is not a popular option. So she is opposed to extending a lifeline to Athens. But is this position correct?
I read that if the same degree of austerity were imposed in the US over the past few years, we would have seen the hourly minimum wage drop from $7.25 to $5.66, the average government worker's annual salary decrease from $51,340 to $43,639, and the average senior citizen's monthly check drop from $1,294 to $776. How would you have voted?
She certainly seems to be a most ungenerous person, suffering from memory loss, and lacking in moral backbone. In the early '50s when Germany was on the ropes after WWII, the Greek government joined about 20 of Germany's former foes in signing the 1953 London Agreement, which wrote off a large chunk of Germany's loans and restructured the rest, linking West Germany's debt repayment schedule to its ability to pay—that is, tying repayments to the trade surplus Germany was running and expected to run. This created an incentive for trading partners to buy German goods and became a landmark case that shows how effective debt relief can be. It helped spark what became known as the German economic miracle. Shouldn't Merkel be advocating paying it forward?
Many commentators have said that the actual amount of money involved, relatively thinking, is a drop in the bucket. It still sounds like a lot of money to me, but I question the premise that you can cost-cut your way to prosperity when you've already cut all the fat (and some of the muscle) to the bone. This sounds like the kind of bone-headed concept that only a politician or banker could think makes sense.
The Greeks are venturing into uncharted territory and I admire their courage. They sent a resounding message to Brussels, Frankfurt, and Berlin that they are not willing to acquiesce to further humiliation at the hands of the bankers. Far from being a failed economy and nation, Greece may in fact have been the place where our humanity has been reasserted for all of us. Thank you, Greece.

Part 38: That's Heavy (Water), Man
After rescuing Roger, the game railroads us into Cannes.
Once there, we are immediately treated to a history lesson.
A number of secret societies were born at the turn of the 20th century.
Many of them were derived from the Jesuits or the Rosicrucians. Among them, Sapientes Gladio was one of the most interesting.
At first, they worshiped the Lord humbly and worked for equality. They valued each other's opinions and were an extremely idealistic group.
They broke down barriers between races, and just when it looked like they would extend their influence, it happened!
With the appearance of one man, the activities of Sapientes Gladio were perverted into something else. The man, who became the new leader, pushed his own elitist agenda, so that only those who could prove their superiority could join the group.
And they ended up with Nicolai, Veronica and Lenny?! I'd hate to see the people they turned away if those three are considered "superior".
Oh no, they're jamming the radar.
They sent the message that, in the name of their secret society's ideals, they would do whatever was necessary.
So they're terrorists.
You say that like you're surprised.
Exactly right.
Sapientes Gladio, as they are now, is nothing more than a group of dangerous terrorists.
If we don't stop them, something terrible will happen!
But why you, Roger? Why was Sapientes Gladio hunting for you?
Good question. They wanted three things: my life...
...the Émigré Manuscript...
And what?
Hm. I think...it would be better if I showed you that.
Actually, we've got a few stops to make first.
Nelson: Oops. Didn't mean to shout. But who in the world are you guys, anyway?!
Back outside, we show the Tarot we found by Oscar's chain to Croft.
Croft: What?! You found it?! Oh, jeez, I don't believe it! I can't believe you beat me! Let's do it again!
You got Treasure: Love
Croft: The rules are the same as before. If you find the treasure, you win. If not, I win.
Okay, but I don't really care about having a competition with you...
Shut up Yuri. He's giving us free stuff. And that last clue was easy; how hard can this one be?
Um, a little harder, I guess. But not much.
On the way to Roger's, we stop in Montmartre because I just remembered that we get a prize for every three stamps we collect. We get a Thera Extract this time. One more fight and we'll be able to come back here for something else.
We also stop in Southampton because things haven't been gay enough lately.
I won't show you any mercy, you know! When you think your mind and body are sufficiently prepared, step on up!
Hee hee! Keep your eyes open! I'll be slamming you with my deadliest attack in the third turn! Can you handle it?
Gama's new move is Deathtron Hammer, which is basically just a bull-rush straight at his opponent.
I waited a little too long before coming back to Southampton; it doesn't do much damage.
In Gama's third turn, he'll use a Third Key. There are three ways to survive it. You can turn Joachim into his Golden Bat form and kill Gama before his third turn, you can equip Joachim with a Replacement Man before the fight, or you can Block.
I just go with Blocking.
Gama is defeated without much difficulty.
Whenever you want to test your skills, come back to me, my boy. The open-air ring will always be waiting for you!
Thank you, Teacher!
Unfortunately, Gama won't have any more new moves for Joachim until we reach...well, until we get to the second disk.
Anyway, I guess we better find out what Roger wanted to show us.
The switch is at the very end of the bookcase to the right.
Pressing it makes the round thing in the middle of the floor open up.
And then a freaky-looking platform raises up from the hole.
I hope this isn't scary.
Down we go.
For some reason, this isn't quite what I expected Roger's basement to look like.
Oddly enough, it is what I'd expect Joachim's basement to look like (assuming he could get Keith to let him re-decorate Blue Castle).
There's two doorways from the elevator chamber. We need the one to the left.
Why does Roger have a train engine in his house?
Is this what they were after?
Yup. It might look like an ordinary airship, but this baby's got a lot of heart.
THAT'S an airship!?!
There's a dead orphan joke in here somewhere.
The engine! This puppy has miraculous power, and it's all because of the heavy water, nuclear fusion engine I put in!
What the hell is that?
All you need is a bucket of water and she'll fly for 3000 kilometers! It can do vertical take off and landing too!
Whadiya mean, "Hmph"?! What kind of reaction is "Hmph"?!
Roger starts firing the airship up. This seems like it could take a while.
By the way, Sir Roger, you do know where Nicolai is going, don't you?
Of course I do.
To where the leader of Sapientes Gladio is.
Oh, that's helpful.
He's headed for Petrograd, Russia!
That's better.
After the bay doors open, the track the ship is on raises up and the guide rail starts to extend.
Correct. ...Okay, it's almost time for lift off!
Two blast shields snap into place behind the thrusters.
Hold on tight, everyone!
Lift off!
Bacon Jet!?
And the "Bacon Jet" streaks across the sky with all the grace of an epileptic swan.
Is this thing safe!?
Don't talk to me right now!
The ship finally straightens out.
Ah. Okay, that's better. Heh. That was one of my smoothest take-offs.
So, who is this leader, anyway? What's he really after?
His name is Grigori Rasputin...
...and his goal is to take over the Russian Empire!

I decided it's time to do a Tiny Planet app comparison from 4 different developers. All these apps have their pros and cons, but overall these are the top 4 apps in this type of editing. I'm going start with original Tiny Planet Photo. It's was one of the first apps of it kind way back in 2011. At the time there was nothing really like it, you have two different types of effects, Tiny Planet and Rabbit Hole. The app is free. There's an in-app purchase to take the iAds off and bump the res saves to 2000 x 2000, back when I got the app in 2011. Not much has really changed with updates with the app design and UI (user interface). However there was an update to bump up to an impressive 4000 x 4000 resolution saves but it depends what device you have to get the super high resolution saves. Overall the app still reminds simple and easy to operate. If you're starting out in mobile editing, then Tiny Planet Photo if the app for you. This app is an iPhone only.
*Top photos were edited with Tiny Planet.*
Next app is Living Planet, what makes this app special is you can make Tiny Planet Videos. This was something really innovative in app developing. The app will also do a wormhole (rabbit hole) effect, adjusted tools and filters to apply on top of your videos. You can also make still image too. The app does take a lot of process when you turn your video into Living Planets. The app is universal to the iPad and costs $1.99. If you like making videos with a very cool effect, then Living Planet is for you.
*Video was edited with Living Planet.*
Next app is Circular+, this app came out about a month after Living Planet. It's a really cool app because of the effects, filters and editing tools. Circular+ is Tiny Planet with super powers. You can make a super surreal world this app. The resolution save is 2048 x 2048. The app is universal to the iPad and cost is $1.99. Overall the app is great for intermediate to advance mobile artists. If you're starting out in mobile editing I recommend you start with Tiny Planets first, then move onto Circular+.
*The images vibe was edited with Circular+.*
The last app for this blog post is Roll World. What makes this app special is you have lots of effects and control in making you Tiny Planets. You can even buy into the in-app purchase and open up video effects. The video part of this app really put this app on the map. It's like the developer took what you did with Droste effect and added into this app. Roll World is universal to the iPad and FREE with in-app purchases !!! It doesn't matter what your editing skill level is with mobile editing. It's made for all levels. You have endless possibilities. Depending what iOS device you're using will determines your resolutions saves and video output. Overall I feel this is the best app of the Tiny Planets comparison.
*Video demo was edited with Roll World.*
Tiny List:
Tiny Planet Photo – FREE with in-app purchases
Living Planet – $1.99
Circular+ – $1.99
Roll World – FREE with in-app purchases
I hope you enjoyed this blog post and check out the apps. If you have any questions about this blog post, please leave comments, have a nice evening and see you soon.

Through this ongoing series, we want to share theological resources that have helped us grow in knowledge and understanding of the Lord, and appreciation for our shared Christian faith through the wider body of Christ. Whether blog posts, music, books, podcasts, visual art, etc., we hope that you can discover new sources of edification and encouragement.
Hope Mommies
"This October 15 is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day when many women across the country will together remember their babies who have gone ahead (read more here and here and here). Hope Mommies is a 501(c)3 Christian non-profit organization sharing the hope of Christ with mothers who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. Hope Mommies has an annual retreat, a box ministry, online small groups and Facebook groups, a blog, and a bible study publication. Baby loss binds women in a unique way around the present peace of Christ and future hope of being with Him one day, as we remember with joy what our children already experience. If you or someone you know would like to be connected with this ministry, and walk through the grief of baby loss with women who understand this pain, feel free to get in touch with me anytime or connect through any of the links above." - Lianna
Martin Luther's Here I Stand
"Reformation Day on October 31 commemorates when Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five thesis onto the Wittenberg Door in 1517. To hear a history of this day, much of it in Luther's own words, listen to this recording narrated by Max McLean via YouTube. It contains Martin Luther's response to the Catholic church after his reading of Paul in the book of Romans—all marking his praise-worthy return to the Bible as the authority for matters of salvation and for the Christian life. Listening to this stirred a thankfulness for the truth in my heart." - Lianna
Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin
"In Women of the Word, Jen Wilkin shares her passion for teaching women how to study the Bible, and through that study, to see women grow in their love of God: '...the heart cannot love what the mind does not know. This is the message of Romans 12:2-3—not that the mind alone affects transformation, but that the path to transformation runs from the mind to the heart, and not the other way around' (pg. 31). In the first part of the book, Jen makes a case for the importance of Biblical literacy among Christian women, and the second half explores what Jen calls 'the Five P's of Sound Study: Study with Purpose, Study with Perspective, Study with Patience, Study with Process, Study with Prayer' (pg. 46). I loved reading Women of the Word because it clearly teaches the purpose of studying the Bible (to know and love God more) and practically how to do it. I recommend it to any woman who desires to know God more through devoted Bible study." -Abby

I really should have gone into cognitive psychology. Sadly 20 years ago I didn't think there'd be much of a future for someone who wanted to put people into mazes like rats. I was a fan of Stanley Milgram's in high school. If only I'd know the Dunning-Kruger effect could have been named after me. However in retrospect that might not be the best idea...

Meal Planning Monday 17/10/11
By Emma B | October 17, 2011
I haven't done a meal planning Monday post for a few weeks but I thought I'd get back into it today.
This week, we'll be having
- Red Thai beef curry with rice
- Sirloin steak with chips and onion rings
- Chicken cacciatore
- Bangers and mash with onion gravy
- Chicken pie with vegetables
If I can get the right ingredients, the pie will be replaced with Vietnamese grilled fish – a dish for the Fusion Taste team – but that all depends!
What are you eating this week? Don't forget to head over to Mrs M's for more meal planning inspiration.

Fansite dedicated to the talented actress Lily Collins!
My advice for girls who are waiting for their Prince Charming is to be open for anything. Be open to new experiences, be open to the idea that it may take longer than you want, but if you're open to meeting new people and new adventures, then love will come along.
I added one new behind the scenes photo of Lily and her 'Stuck In Love' co-stars. Lily Collins is playing Samantha Borgens in this movie.

Is there a way to get quality backlinks other than social bookmarking?
Do i have to write loads of articles and submit to article directories? Or is there any easier way?
Certainly writing articles is a good strategy. If what you've written is thought provoking occasionally people will start to talk about it on forums, which can help too.
Thanks for the reply. I've written great SEO articles, yet rank on the 5th page and some not even top 10 pages.
The competition isn't high just that the crazy nonsense articles have backlinks
I currently do blog commenting as my ways of building backlinks. I can do 100,000+ backlinks daily.
Let me know if you need help.
Here's a laughable amateur viewpoint. But it might start a debate.
Write good quality content that people consider is worth linking to.
Wait for years.
Ignore all instant link offerings, clever tricks, and so on.
You may also have to wait a little more than the seven weeks that your account has been in existence for - it usually takes a little over 9 weeks if you are called mark to dominate the internet, otherwise you may have to wait a little while and ---- yes ---- add a few backlinks through articles or other sites - unless you can get others to link to you purely through your superior writing skills as Mark does successfully with all of his wonderful hubs..
There are hundreds of hubs on the subject of backlinking go have a read of a few of them..
You can also gain links through facebook etc.. I think I have liked several of Marks hubs for instance - although he has no shame and promotes himself terribly..lol
Natural ones do come, and they can be a nice surprise, I was linked to from another long established website with thousands of followers and readers that drove hundreds to one of my pages everyday and still sends them now.
Lol. Thanks. I think.
I have cracked no secrets, I do not have many links to me, if any.
But I believe in the theory. Useful, well written - get linked to.
I'm not that kind of guy to promote hubs. I just wanted to know
Ok i guess I'll cross the 100 hubs milestone then check how things are going on.
But ppl do continue giving answers
Mark if you don't mind how many visits do u get a day? In total I don't want to know about any particular hubs. Don't answer this if you don't want to
Across 200 pages I get about 100 search hits a day. I can't honestly see any copying types wanting to try to rip that kind of stuff off.
On the plus side...
Actually there isn't a plus side.
I get 9-10 search hits a day I guess thats good for 14 hubs
Patience is a much need virtue online.. especially when you are writing on a site not your own. You have been here for a very short time.. your hubs need to age.. and then you maybe told that Google like fresh stuff.. the irony of it all
Learning a new lesson each day.. you will too. cheers
Yup I did hear that google likes fresh stuff......... Isn't it true?
If it likes old stuff then that's great
Google is unfathomable... we are yet to see fresh stuff... on the searches Trying times trying to understand Google's algo
Ya the algorithm changes the minute we figure out the way it works That's sad
Remember your title is a good way of getting traffic too. If you use the words that people will type in when they search for the topic you are writing about. However it also good to remember that keywords are important and the amount of competition for search terms. That is the part I still am trying to improve on but for me what I want to write about usually wins over what might prove popular.
Thanks 2uesday I write on what I like but research for low competition key words.
I do include the relevant phrases in my titles as well

I love your fall decorating, it looks so cozy and awesome. Beautiful fall quilts and gorgeous mums. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the colors and smells. Jeter is not going to get too far from you it looks like, very sweet.
September 26, 2013 at 9:57 am
I am just enjoying the pictures and noticed how Jeter is posing in the pics…..LOL…to funny. Nice job on the decorating. I also miss doing those fun things. Fall is my favorite time of the year. The colors are the best!! Good Job!!!!!
September 26, 2013 at 10:00 am
Thanks for the inspiration — I may actually get some of my fall stuff set out!
September 26, 2013 at 10:03 am
I love it, Lisa! Glad you took some time for you. We'll see you in Houston in a few weeks.
September 26, 2013 at 10:09 am
Looks GREAT! I really like Octobers Patch. Thanks for sharing!
September 26, 2013 at 10:16 am
It all looks fabulous Lise – love the pumpkin quilt. I have vases of sunflowers but we don't seem to get such big pumpkins here in the UK – all on a smaller scale! Will have to try though as your porch and home look so inviting!
September 26, 2013 at 10:20 am
Forget decorating at my house–I just want to come and live at yours!!
I see that I am going to have to make a sister quilt to your little dark Lori Smith table topper. That one sings to me–and I think I even have the pattern. : )
September 26, 2013 at 10:24 am
Looks so good. I am inspired. Gonna decorate today. I haven't either for years. Gotta take more time for the "good" in our life. Thanks for the inspiration.
September 26, 2013 at 10:32 am
Thanks for sharing. Floods have been our focus. Its nice to think ahead to the crisp days of Fall and beautiful aspens!
September 26, 2013 at 10:37 am
I really liked your photos. The put me in the mood for fall. Thank you
September 26, 2013 at 10:39 am
Hi Lisa, I LOVE your decorations!!! The pumpkin quilts are gorgeous. I am currently making the small one on the table with the spooky guys. Decorating for Fall is one if my favorite things, and you have inspired me to get busy!! I always enjoy your pics, and I appreciate that you tell us who the designers are, as I am ever curious. Hugs, Jakey
September 26, 2013 at 10:41 am
Thanks for the inspiration! I did change a couple table runners. And I got a pumpkin and a couple squash the other day at the local farm stand! The leaves are beginning to turn!
September 26, 2013 at 11:11 am
In your first photo – I see someone hiding behind the door – WAY TOO CUTE! I love all your decorating. I wish I could do the same but work is the way. Also, the house is in remodel mode and when its done I'll really get crackin on the season. I want to make the October Patch so I'll have to visit the website for the pattern and as much of the fabric as I can get. Thanks for sharing. Love your photo's and captions. Marlene
September 26, 2013 at 11:22 am
Love Octobers's Patch and the small table mat with the dark background. After years of adhering to bigger is better (why make a throw when it could be a double, why make a twin when it could be a queen?) I am starting to live table toppers! It means I actually get something done!
September 26, 2013 at 11:30 am
I love it when you show your style in action. Please do this as often as you can. Your lake house is another great post. Thanks!
September 26, 2013 at 11:51 am
So cute…
September 26, 2013 at 12:16 pm

September 26, 2013 at 12:25 pm
Looks great! Glad you are enjoying the Fall!
September 26, 2013 at 12:54 pm
Fall is my favorite time but it is also a time that I don't decorate much. Love everything that you do. Isn't it great how our pets always want to be the star of the show?
September 26, 2013 at 1:00 pm
Love all the pictures. It all looks so homey, thanks
for sharing.
September 26, 2013 at 1:02 pm

September 26, 2013 at 1:12 pm
Love your Autumn decorations. It is a shame we only get to enjoy these a short while.
September 26, 2013 at 1:57 pm
Lisa… it looks so great! Love your style, girl! And you gotta love Jeeter the ham!
September 26, 2013 at 3:05 pm
Thank you for sharing! Aren't fall colors just the best?!
September 26, 2013 at 5:33 pm
Lisa, you make me smile with the decorating. Great job, very inspiring, sigh, here up north the trees are really starting to turn and we are seeing wild turkeys working the sides of the road. I miss the hummingbirds, but the nuthatches and juncos are working the yard. Say hi to Terri.
September 26, 2013 at 6:00 pm
Your adorable dog Jeter in the background of your pictures made me smile. Dogs are great and he obviously loves your decorating.
September 26, 2013 at 6:14 pm
Your home is just beautiful, thanks for sharing!
September 26, 2013 at 8:52 pm
Looks great. Love your fall decorating.
September 26, 2013 at 9:07 pm
You are inspiring us to get busy! Love your Fall decorations and quilts! Oh, and Jeter!
September 26, 2013 at 11:30 pm
Jeter – photo-bombing? That's pretty funny. Though maybe he just wanted to get a better look at the gorgeous decorations. 🙂
September 27, 2013 at 10:16 am
Looks wonderful – I realized awhile back that when I don't make time for what makes me tick I become a cranky girl lol – glad your making time for what makes you tick :). Love Jeter in the pics – always fun to see the pups.
September 27, 2013 at 1:35 pm
Beautiful decorating! I need to get busy and decorate too. Thanks for the inspiration.
September 27, 2013 at 11:30 am
I love the Give Thanks pumpkin with the flowers and the flag that is located next to the porch swing. Is this a pattern or a wood sign? I would love to have the pattern or know the source.
Thanks very much,
Karen L.
September 27, 2013 at 6:27 pm

by Pool Builders on 04-13-2010 in Articles
There are several ways of cleaning your swimming pool but the easiest and most efficient is with automatic swimming pool cleaners. There are basically three types of these cleaners; suction, pressure and robotic. There are manual units available but they aren't nearly as efficient as the automatic ones that are available. These make the perfect replacement for old manual cleaners that require a water hose and in many cases a telescoping handle to even attempt to get to the center of your pool. They are usually a no mess cleaner that simply requires you to attach it to one of the sides of your pump and drop it in your pool.
Sometimes residential pools get dirtier than commercial ones. This is because residential pools are not used nearly as often as public pools. All of the activity in a public pool keeps the debris stirred up and allows the filtration system to filter it from the water during the circulation process. Inactivity in residential pools allows the debris to settle to the bottom of the pool. This requires the pool to be vacuumed out which in turn requires an automatic pool cleaner to remove it. Manufacturers like Intex and Polaris make them in different sizes to fit any size pool.
When you are shopping for automatic swimming pool cleaners start by setting down a strict budget. Some of them can be expensive especially if you opt for a robotic unit. Your budget should be the top priority when considering any style of pool cleaner. After figuring out your budget you can begin shopping for something within that price range. Just because you can spend $300 doesn't mean you should! You will want to choose a cleaner that is going to be sufficient to handle the job so consider how often the pool is used and the size of the pool.
To determine which cleaner is best for you pool search the internet for automatic swimming pool cleaners. Find one that will operate on the least amount of energy for the best price. These are usually going to be the suction or pressure units. A suction unit uses the intake side of your pools filtration system to pull the debris into the filter and clean it before pumping it back out into your pool. A pressure unit used the exhaust side of your filtration system to create a vortex around a small bag on the end of the unit. The debris is forced into the bag which is removable and reusable.
Finally visit some of your local retailers to see what is available. The prices will depend on the size of cleaner you choose as well as the brand and type. Some retailers carry robotic cleaners which uses features from both a suction and a pressure cleaner. They are the most efficient but their prices are much more sizable. They are not recommended for pools that have infrequent activity because they utilize more energy than any of the other styles that are available.

One thought on "Monday Madness: I Am Tired…"
I know where you're coming from. I don't mind the gym, but I don't love it, and have a hard time keeping up the routine. I also hate to run. In a former life I was a dancer, but I am a long way away from my ballerina body.
I oscillate between I'm happy with where I am, and I miss my old body. There's a compromise as to how much of my current lifestyle I want to give up to make my body better. Right now I'm getting back into dance classes, because it's exercise I enjoy and feel like I can keep up. It's a start, and a start I am happy with.
