DEAR BARRY: In one of your columns, you recommended that sellers hire a home inspector, even though the buyers would probably hire an inspector of their own. As a seller, this concerns me. If my home inspector finds a major defect (something that has given me no trouble for the past 30 years), then I'll have to spend thousands of dollars to repair it, or I'll have to disclose it to the buyers. Frankly, I fail to see the advantage in this. Can you please explain again the advantages when sellers hire a home inspector? --Ken
DEAR KEN: There are three main reasons for sellers to hire their own home inspector:
1) Avoiding liability: If an undisclosed defect (one that you were unaware of for the past 30 years) is discovered after the close of escrow, you could be sued for nondisclosure. The fact that you were unaware of the problem would be for you to prove in court.
2) Avoiding repair costs: Disclosing defects at the out...

After signing their best recruiting class in recent memory this past February, Indiana had to wait until June to land their first commit in the 2014 class.
Cincinnati (Ohio) Summit Country Day three-star defensive tackle Michael Barwick announced his commitment to the Hoosiers on Sunday.
"I chose Indiana," Barwick said. "I just feel it is the perfect fit for me as far as the coaching staff. You cannot get coaches like that anywhere else. Coach [Kevin] Wilson is a great coach and Coach [James] Patton, Coach [Jon] Fabris and my recruiting coach, Coach [Greg] Frey, are great coaches as well.
Article Continues Below
"Every time I go down there I just really like the campus and the atmosphere. I think there are some very special things going on down there with that team as far as winning national championships, and I would like to help them do that."
Barwick joins an Indiana team that signed a strong defensive line unit in the 2013 class, which featured two four-star prospects. The Indiana coaches see the 6-foot, 291-pound nose tackle as a nice complement to what they already have on the roster.
"They have said a little bit of a 1-technique and 3-technique [positions]," Barwick said. "I think they rotate their defensive linemen, so I will be doing a little bit of both."
Being the first commitment in Indiana's 2014 class, Barwick plans to take it upon himself to help attract others to join him.
"Definitely I want to be very active in that process," he said. "Indiana has some great things going on. I would like to have some other guys be a part of that and go along with us."
With his college selection made, Barwick plans to get back to serious work developing his game not only for his upcoming senior season, but also his future at Indiana.
"This off-season I am training hard and getting ready so I can have a great senior season," he said. "I feel all the momentum I build up from that I will be able to bring that same stuff to the table at IU. Then, with all the other great players, we'll be able to do some special things."
Barwick is rated as the No. 38 defensive tackle in the country and the No. 45 player in the state of Ohio. He won the defensive line MVP award at the Rivals Camp Series presented by Under Armour in Cincinnati this spring and finished his junior season with 75 tackles, including 10 sacks.

Confirmed: Kindle Paperwhite Can be JailBroken
As you probably know, the Kindle Paperwhite is Amazon's second touchscreen equipped ereader. This detail is important because it turns out that Amazon took an important shortcut in designing the KPW. Basically they took the existing design and modified it rather than designing it from scratch.
I had already suspected as much from the early reports that the KPW was running the Kindle OS 5.2 firmware. The Kindle Touch is still running 5.1, and that by itself was a good sign that the same hacks might work.
And at least one of the hacks does work. You can find it over at MobileRead. While all the instructions say Kindle Touch, this is the one I used to jailbreak my Kindle Paperwhite.
If you decide to do this, be sure to use the correct file. Otherwise it won't work. The file you need to use is called "data.stgz". There is another file with a similar name and it is very easy to get them confused.

Maha Shivratri – Celebrating Lord Shiva
Maha Shivratri (February 19th 2012) is celebrated in honor of Lord Shiva on the 13th (or 14th) night of the Krishna paksha (dark half or waning phase) of the moon (night before Amavasya) in the month of Phalgun (Feb-March) by almost all sects within Hinduism. It is a day of fasting for all devotees of Lord Shiva and is one of the eight most significant days of fasting in the Hindu Calendar.

Acute vs. Subacute CVA
Patient : Is there a time-frame cut off for the diagnosis of Acute CVA and Sub-acute CVA?
Doctor : Thank you for your question. An Acute cerebral vascular accident usually presents with sudden symptoms of paralysis, los s of consciousness, or cognitive deficits when a blood vessel within the brain breaks or there is a blood clot that enters the brain blocking circulation. Sub-acute CVA's could be transient ischemic attacks in which the symptoms resolve after some time, and can recur. There is no specific diagnostic protocol between sub-acute and acute CVAs. If a patient comes to the emergency department with symptoms of a CVA, and is diagnosed, they are treated as fast as possible to prevent permanent neurological deficits. The subacute management of CVA's on the other hand does not involve the use of thromboembolytic medications as in the acute management of CVA's. Subacute management is usually performed after the patient visits the emergency room and cleared for any cardiovascular problems, and can be managed on an outpatient basis by a physician.

Late notice. Just started.
Legends Division Preview on BTN Now. 11 p.m. (Rebroadcast)
Spoiler alert. Both Howard and Gerry pick Michigan to win the Legends.
They must not have heard that Ace is scared of Northwestern.
...could be dangerous with Marc and Colter, but Michigan is most balanced.,. Sounds like Sparty and NE are the other contenders here. No surprises, I guess.
and we have a good running game, I could see Michigan wining the B1G this season. Realistically, I think we are still looking at a 4 loss season. ND will probably win, then we will probably lose 2 of the following games: MSU, NE, NU and OSU. Plus, we'll have that road upset at PSU. So we may only finish 2nd or 3rd in the legends.
Penn State? You're not the only one that I've seen predicting a PSU loss. I don't think Penn State wins 5 games this year. I think UM wins that by at least 3 touchdowns.
We aren't losing to Penn State. They might be starting a true freshman at QN (they still haven't decided on who it will be) and they have lost a ton of talent on their defense, which in most games last year is why they won.
Not familiar with that phraseology...
For anyone that missed it last night, the BTN schedule says that you can view the Legends Division preview at 7 AM, 9 AM, 11 AM, 1:30 PM, 3 PM, and 5 PM today, so they leave one plenty of opportunities. At 7 PM tonight, the Leaders Division preview airs for the first of several times too.

"The People Yelled Crucify Him!Crucify Him"
Once again Pilate confronted the Jews as he presented them with Jesus, now beaten, mocked, wearing a crown of thorns and a purple robe.
Verse 6: "When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him."
The Chief Priests and officers could produce no legal reason for having Jesus put to death; instead, His innocence had been established.
Nevertheless, they yell, "CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM!"
Pilate, knowing that Jesus was innocent, said You crucify him, and let the blood be on your hands, for I find no fault in him.
Verse 7: "The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God."
The charge was that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. All their efforts to have Him crucified for being a troublemaker had failed.
If Pilate had any doubts before, he certainly knew now, that there were no legal charges against Jesus. There was no reason to charge Him with anything.
The Jewish law made it a capital offense for one to claim to be the Divine Messiah, unless His claims were true,
(Lev 24:16).
Jesus sworn testimony that He was the "Son of God, was true, He was deity!
Verse 8: "When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid."
Pilate had many fears; including, his relations with Herod, his reputation with the emperor, the outbreak of violence in his city, his wife's dream, (as mentioned in the other Gospels), and now, the claim by Jesus to be the Son of God.
Verses 9: "He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer."
Again, some Romans were cynical about gods, but most believed in them, and Pilate seemed to be especially cautious.
Verse 10: "So Pilate said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?"
Pilate was near disbelief at Jesus' silence; also that any man would behave in such a manner, in his presence.
Pilate's decree was legally binding in all capital cases. His issue was not a matter of guilt or innocence, but concerns for the religious and political consequences of his decision. (What problems, would his judgment cause him)
Verse 11:"Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin."
The phrase, "Above" was a Jewish word frequently used by the Apostle John, when speaking of God.
Judaism understood that rulers held authority, only as delegated by God, and exercised under His permission. Jesus could have called for legions of angels; the tiniest display of His supernatural power could have turned Pilate into putty in His hands.
The greater sin: The High Priest of Israel was guilty of the greater sin.
Verses 12: "From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar."
The Jews were using vicious political blackmail. If Pilate would not do their will, they would file charges against him before Caesar. These charges, whether true or false, could remove him from office. After hearing their threats, Pilate caved in, and moved at once to have Jesus crucified.
Verse 13: "So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic Gabbatha." (GAB-uh-thuh)
The "Stone Pavement," was a platform in the courtyard of the Praetorium, made of stones. It was ingeniously joined in a manner to form a throne-like platform, with steps and ornaments for the purpose of adding dignity to the decisions.
It was upon this judgment-seat that Pilate ordered Christ before him, for sentencing. Most commentators believe the governor had to pronounced death sentences from this judgment seat.
Verse 14: "Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"
Verses 15: "They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
The major theme of the history of Israel, was that they claimed God as their true king. God had loved, tolerated, and protected them throughout their history. It was common knowledge that these people hated Caesar, yet now they say, "We have no King but Caesar."
Later, in the siege of 70 AD, Caesar reportedly crucified 30,900 of their young men on the walls, of the ruins of Jerusalem.
Verse 16: "So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,"
Pilate gave in and knowingly sent an innocent man, 'the Son of God,' to His death.
Condemned criminals normally carried the horizontal beam of their cross, (not the upright stake), to the site of the execution. The victim was usually stripped naked for the procession and execution.
The most likely site for Golgotha was outside the city wall, perhaps a thousand feet from Herod's Palace.

Brooklyn, NY, 11215
Doors 7:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
Bel Argosy
We play pop-rock-punk songs about a series of imaginary, lazily-composed myths and legends involving stone dog statues, familial curses and elevators.
Robot Princess
The only rock band in New York City
Woodpecker! is your favorite ivory-billed, red-bellied, sap-sucking string band. Combining pick slides and punk-rock jumps with the banjo licks, mandolin chops, and close harmonies native to bluegrass, their song structures and vocal melodies owe a lot to the energy and irreverence of pop punk bands like Snuff and the Descendents. Lyrically, their songs flirt with sentimentality before kneeing it in the balls.

In my lifetime I've asked for advice and also given advice, but lately I have been learning more about godly and wise advice. I take responsibility that I've steered people and have allowed myself to be steered in the wrong direction…which brings me to the question: How exactly do you know that your giving/receiving wise, godly advice?
Then King Rehobaom discussed the matter with the older men who had counseled his father, Solomon."What is your advice?" he asked. How should I answer these people?" -1 Kings 12:6
King Rehoboam is asking the "older men" that "counseled Solomon" meaning they helped advise his own father (who did quite well in all his affairs!). The advice of the elders was wise and came from experience and watching Solomon lead with God.
But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the older men and instead asked the opinion of the young men who had grown up with him and were now his advisers. -1 Kings 12:8
King Rehoboam's decision to casually disregard the elders advice is relatable to most of us. For example, not listening to our parents or even an elderly person because we think because of their age difference, or the world we live in today, they couldn't possibly have any idea on how to help. As a result, just like King Rehoboam, we choose to listen to advice from our peers – who are often young and quite ignorant themselves. As we'll learn in Chapter 12, that doesn't always end well.
Wise, godly counsel should be centered around God's word and lead to positive answers. Does the advice you're giving and getting consistent with God's standard?

There are many hosting companies out there, but someone who is just starting out on a WordPress site, Bluehost.com is probably the easiest option for getting started. It is the only hosting service officially recommended by WordPress and has been the number-one recommended hosting service for their platform for almost 10 years. If you sign up through this tutorial, you'll get a special offer of shared hosting at $3.95/month for 36 months, as well as a free domain name for a year!
To set up your hosting account with Bluehost, follow the steps below. It will speed up the process to think of a domain name you want to use and to have your credit card for payment ready to go before you get started.
To get started, go to Bluehost's home page and click "Sign Up Now."
Next, you need to choose a domain name for your site. If you already own a domain name, you can enter it here, and you will just have to go through a few extra steps to make sure you get your DNS pointed to Bluehost. If you don't already have a domain name, you can purchase one from right in the sign up process, and the best part is, it comes free with your new hosting account purchase.
Once you've entered a domain name, you'll fill in your personal information.
Then, you'll choose which hosting package you want. Normal, shared hosting is priced at 12, 24 and 36-month terms. To help save you money, the longer term you purchase, the lower the monthly rate will be. For example, by choosing a 36-month hosting term, you can get the great introductory rate of $3.95/month. And, because you've chosen to host with Bluehost, if you ever need more than a shared hosting account, Bluehost provides seamless upgrades to VPS or dedicated server hosting accounts from inside your control panel.
There are few other offers provided at sign up, which you can include at your discretion.
After you've filled in your information and chosen your hosting package, click the "Next" button to complete your purchase. You'll then be asked to create a password for your account. You can use the Password Generator to create a strong and secure password, or create one yourself. It is required to have both capital and lowercase letters, a number, and a special character (?!#, etc.) in order to have a strong enough password to protect your account.
Now that you are all signed up and are able to log into your account, you can get started installing WordPress!
This may seem like the most complicated step, but Bluehost has worked hard to make this one of the easiest things for you to do by using the new MOJO Marketplace for installing WordPress and other applications. In your cPanel, scroll to the section titled "MOJO Marketplace" and choose the "One-Click Installs" button. This will take you to a page inside MOJO Marketplace called Scripts and Platforms. The blog section is at the very top, so all you have to do here is click on the WordPress icon.
This will open the installation window. Click on the green "Start" button that will start the WordPress installation process, which has a few easy steps.
Step 1: Choose where you want to install WordPress. This can be any domain on your account, or a subdomain or a folder for one of your domains. Next, click on "Check Domain," which will make sure the domain is assigned and pointing to your account. You may get a warning that you are overwriting files, but as long as you don't have another website built yet, you can check the box and continue. This is mostly to make sure that you really want to install in that location. If you do have other sites built, you will want to make sure you're not overwriting something important.
Step 2: Show Advanced Options. This section allows you to set up your own username and password for your WordPress install. IT is recommended to use a different username than "admin" and a very strong password. Make sure that the "Automatically create a new database for this installation" box is checked, unless you have a database already set up that you want to use.
Step 3: After you've read the terms and conditions, check the box indicating that you've done so, then click "Install Now."
Now you'll see the progress page, which will show you how far along the installation is. Once WordPress is fully installed, it will provide you with your site URL, the admin login URL, your username, and password. You will get a copy of this information, except your password, in your email as well. Make sure to keep it in a safe place.
Now you can log into your WordPress site by going to the admin login URL. Enter your username and password, then click "Log In." This will take you to your WordPress dashboard. From here, you can control everything to do with your WordPress site, such as creating pages, writing posts, and changing the appearance.
Step 4: Once you have your blog set up, it is time to start writing! Figure out what it is you want to write about–pick a main theme, then a 3-5 subtopics, and a few sub categories under your subtopics. This will give you a framework for how to organize your thoughts and your blog posts. I strongly recommend that before you worry about making your blog look pretty, you take the time to do some writing and to learn your way around WordPress.
At the very least, you should understand how to start a post and how to create a page, as well as how to installs some basic plugins. WordPress to Go is a great resource to help you get more comfortable with the WordPress platform.
Here are a few plugins you may want to install:
- Akismet or Antispam Bee – An anti-spam plugin is probably the very first plugin you will want to install, as spam comments will begin to show up almost immediately.
- Google Analytics Dashboard– Google Analytics Dashboard gives you the ability to view your Google Analytics data in your WordPress dashboard. You can also allow other users to see the same dashboard information when they are logged in or embed parts of the data into posts or as part of your theme.
- WP Supercache – A caching plugin that helps your site load faster.
- Yoast SEO – Yoast WordPress SEO is the most complete SEO plugin available for WordPress. It offers everything you need to optimize your site.
Step 5: Make it pretty! Once you have a clear idea of what you want to write about (and you are sure you can do this), it is time to start thinking about the presentation of your words, not just the words themselves.
Unless you are a skilled designer, I don't recommend doing this all by yourself. Instead, you can find ready-made themes for WordPress for less than $50, or hire someone to create a custom theme for as little as $500. I've been really impressed by the crowdsourcing options at 99designs!
Step 6: Make it grow! Once you've been writing for a while and are also happy with your presentation, it is time to start growing your audience and earning an income.
My book, How to Blog for Profit (Without Selling Your Soul) is a great source of super practical information that you can begin to implement right away, while Elite Blog Academy is also a great option for anyone who is truly ready to take their blog to the next level.

When Marion County Sheriff's Office Deputies Karla Allen and Crystal Sollazzo pulled up to Harmony Coleman in a marked patrol car as part of Kids, Cops and Firefighters, the 3-year-old girl grabbed for the nearest person in plain clothes, fearing the "po-po" had come to take her away.
When Marion County Sheriff's Office Deputies Karla Allen and Crystal Sollazzo pulled up to Harmony Coleman in a marked patrol car as part of Kids, Cops and Firefighters, the 3-year-old girl grabbed for the nearest person in plain clothes, fearing the "po-po" had come to take her away.
"She recently experienced someone being arrested," said her grandmother, Queen Follins.
Queen and Robert Follins brought Harmony and their great-neice Genesis Young, 3, to Saturday's event at Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Complex. The arrest in Harmony's presence had traumatized the child said Follins, and they felt this was an opportunity to heal the wound and create trust with uniformed personnel.
Representatives of the sheriff's office and its Cadet Program, Ocala Police Department, Ocala Fire Rescue, city of Ocala Animal Control, city of Ocala Park Rangers and the Florida Highway Patrol participated in the Ocala Recreation and Parks sponsored event.
The event included playing ball, sack races, "hook and ladder" races and interacting with youngsters on what Wayne Rush of Ocala Recreation and Parks deemed a "good ol' hot dog day," as recreation program director Kelvin Richardson kept the games moving.
"This may be her only contact with law enforcement," said Deputy Robby Clemons as he hugged Harmony and two deputies reassured her they were here to help. "I told her we take care of them," if a person is arrested, Clemons added.
Kids can see the people in uniform and form a positive impression, said event organizer Ire Bethea of Recreation and Parks.
The event last took place eight years ago.
"They teach us about safety and trust. I just call 911," said 8-year-old Ieshia Smith, who attended with her father Joe Smith, 40, brother Jaquan Peterson, 8, and sister Daiji'nelle, 9.
Law enforcement vehicles and various fire fighting apparatus were a big hit with the kids, especially if they had a loud siren.
Hunter Temple, 3, liked the vehicles with lots of buttons, like the BMW 1200cc police motorcycle ridden by OPD Cpl. Harold Compton, a 14-year veteran of the force. The officer spent time with Hunter, pointing out the controls. Even the ones that caused ear-splitting noise delighted Hunter.
"They love policemen," said Angela Temple, Hunter's mom. "If there's a fire truck, they want to see it," she said, as Hunter and his brother Dylan, 2 enjoyed contact with the people and equipment, guided by mom and their father, Dan.
Hunter flashed a sunlight bright smile when Trooper Anthony Dobosiewicz sat the youngster in his FHP cruiser and showed him how to sound the siren.
Terrance Smith, 13, said he was considering a career as a DEA agent as he looked over the various agencies.
MCSO Cadet Uriah Johnson, 16, represented the program aimed at youth with an interest in law enforcement.
Kim and Chris Weaver with the Marion County Pop Weaver football Raiders visited the displays with their son, Dayton, 5, as did Shaida Saju and her sons Champ, 3, and Noah, 2, as well as Yabahri Jones, 13.
"Young kids can build up a trust so when they see us in an emergency situation, they respond in a positive way and get to know us," said Wendell Rora of Ocala Fire Rescue. "And have fun."
As attendance kept increasing, the football-field size area rang out with the sounds of young folks playing.
Queen Follins said Harmony's interaction with public safety personnel had begun healing her fear and that the family had received information about how to obtain additional counseling.
"She's mellowed," Follins said, indicating they had made the first step.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Scotland and named many places. The Blennerhasett name was then created from one of these place names. They lived in Cumberland, on the Borderlands between Scotland and England. As the name is made up of the elements blen, which means hill and hey which means shelter, the name was often broken up. In other words, entries were sometimes for the entire name say, Blenarhassett and other times just Hassett.
Blennerhasett Early Origins
Cumberland, where their early family seats were at Blenerhasset and Flimby Hall. One of the earliest records of the name appeared on a census taken in that county during the reign of King Richard II (1367-c.1400) where Thomas Blennerhasset was found in Carlisle. Of interest is a note in the Feet of Fines that Thomas Bleverhasset was appointed rector of Hardingham, county Norfolk at the age of 11, by the Pope's dispensation. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Blennerhasett Spelling Variations
Blennerhasett Spelling Variations
Intuition and sound were the primary sources medieval scribes used to judge appropriate spellings and translations for names. The spelling of a name thus varied according to who was doing the recording. The different spelling variations of Blennerhasett include Blennerhasset, Blennerhassett, Blenerhasset, Blenner, Hassett, Hassetts and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In their new home, Scots found land and opportunity, and some even fought for their new freedom in the American War of Independence. Some, who remained loyal to the crown went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In this century, the ancestors of both of these groups have begun recovering their illustrious national heritage through Clan societies and other Scottish historical organizations. Early immigration and passenger lists indicate many people bearing the Blennerhasett name: William Blennerhassett who settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1846; Joseph Blenner arrived in Philadelphia in 1879; Wendolin Blenner arrived in Philadelphia in 1861.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fortes fortuna juvat
Motto Translation: Fortune favours the Bold.

Poor readers are known to do consistently worsethan their normal reading peers on tasks ofphonological processing. They are characterizedby their difficulties in printed wordrecognition, phonological awareness andphonological decoding. An increasing body ofevidence points to deficits in speechperception as a source of subtle but ramifyingeffects in reading impaired children andadults. These deficits may be traced to poorlycoded phonological representations. Thisarticle will attempt to explain poor readers'difficulties in phonological coding by drawingon a gestural account speech development.Implications of this approach for readingintervention will be presented.

Recent national reports have stressed the importance of teacher knowledge in teaching reading. However, in the past, teachers' knowledge of language and literacy constructs has typically been assessed with instruments that are not fully tested for validity. In the present study, an instrument was developed; and its reliability, item difficulty, and item discrimination were computed and examined to identify model fit by applying exploratory factor analysis. Such analyses showed that the instrument demonstrated adequate estimates of reliability in assessing teachers' knowledge of language constructs. The implications for professional development of in-service teachers as well as preservice teacher education are also discussed.

College students, scoring average to above-average on WRAT-R subscales for reading and spelling, made match/nonmatch judgments on word pairs either on the basis of phonological similarity (a rhyme match) or orthographic similarity (a visual match). Word pairs rhymed and looked similar, rhymed but looked dissimilar, or looked similar but did not rhyme. Word pairs for which a nonmatch decision had to be made, despite similarity in the irrelevant dimension, produced significantly more errors and longer response latencies. Poorer readers were less vulnerable to phonological interference when making visual discriminations, and poorer readers and spellers were more vulnerable to orthographic interference when making rhyme matches. Results showed that a deficiency in phonological coding and an over-reliance upon orthographic coding, often observed in dyslexic children, can also be seen in relatively poor readers and spellers within a normal adult population.

The main objective of the present study was to examine the contribution of phonological and orthographic skills to Persian reading and spelling. The Persian language is of interest because it has very consistent grapheme-to-phoneme correspondences, but somewhat inconsistent phoneme-to-grapheme correspondences. Reading, spelling, phonological, and orthographic skills were tested in a sample of 109 monolingual Persian students (mean age = 8;1, SD = 4 mo) attending Grade 2 in Iran. The results showed that although monolingual Persian children relied both on phonological and orthographic skills, phonological skills were a strong predictor for both reading and spelling. Another objective of the study was to compare children's spelling performance in terms of phoneme-to-grapheme (PG) consistencies. As expected, children spelled PG-consistent words more accurately than PG-inconsistent words. Moreover, they relied more on orthographic skills for spelling PG-inconsistent words than for spelling PG-consistent words. The results are discussed in terms of the differential effect of orthographic consistency on reading and spelling.

The purpose of this study was to determine the natureand role of knowledge constructed by the child at thevery beginning of his or her contact with printedwords, i.e., during the logographic phase. The resultsof four experiments conducted with 5-year-oldsprovided no supporting evidence for global processingof words. They did suggest, however, that childrenrely on the letters in words, which act as wordidentifiers. A few letters appear to suffice,particularly if they are rare or in word-initialposition. Moreover, letter order is not processed bysome children. The results as a whole indicate thatthe letters in a word serve as its identifying visualproperties as long as, for the child, the solefunction of the written language is to encode meaning.This phase appears to be crucial in learning to read,since it supplies the precursors upon which lateracquisitions are based.

Morphological awareness facilitates many reading processes. For this reason, L1 and L2 learners of English are often directly taught to use their knowledge of English morphology as a useful reading strategy for determining parts of speech and meaning of novel words. Over time, use of morphological awareness skills while reading develops into an automatic process for L1 readers called morphological decomposition. While the practice of explicitly teaching morphological awareness skills is prevalent in ESL classes, more research is needed to establish what is known about gains in L2 morphological awareness, and its relationship to the development of automatic morphological decomposition processes in English language learners. The present study seeks to shed light on the nature of this relationship across growth in L2 proficiency. Two experimental measures were used: a masked priming paradigm with a lexical decision task to explore priming evidence for morphological decomposition and a paper and pencil test of morphological awareness which required subjects to derive the base of a morphologically complex word. These tasks were administered to L1 (N = 43) and L2 groups (intermediate N = 16, advanced N = 16) of university-aged subjects. Results indicated that all subjects show repetition priming effects. However, despite a significant gain in explicit knowledge of English morphology across proficiency levels, L2 learners don't develop an ability to morphologically decompose words in the unconscious, automatic way that native English speakers do, as evidenced by a lack of morphological priming. Implications for L2 pedagogy and L2 word storage in the mental lexicon are discussed.

Many research questions require the assessment of reading in large samples of children. We compared two nonconventional procedures for early reading assessment: test administration by telephone, and teacher assessment. Five thousand five hundred and forty four children participating in a longitudinal twin study were assessed by telephone using the Test of Early Word Reading Efficiency, and by their teachers using the UK National Curriculum criteria. A correlation of 0.69 was obtained between the TOWRE and Teacher Assessment for Reading. There was also good agreement between the two procedures for identification of children at the lower extreme. Both appear to be practical and valid for research studies.

High-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging today allows the in vivo quantification of the surface area of the cortex covering the planum temporale and permits assessment of the direction and degree of individual left-right asymmetry of this structure. This methodologic advance is promoting new studies on the biological mechanisms of anatomic and functional lateralization and on the structural accompaniments of disorders such as developmental dyslexia. It is important to stress that studies must agree on the definition and measurement of planum asymmetry, and we review our definition and its justification in the present article.
Data obtained from normal subjects supported the assumption that planum (a)symmetry underlies functional lateralization. Thus, familial sinistrality predicted for symmetry of the planum in all eight left-handers studied. The pattern of planum symmetry in the normals was similar to that found in the post mortem studies of dyslexic individuals. Insofar as hand preference and developmental dyslexia are in part genetically transmitted, we suggest that planum symmetry may represent an inherited condition as well. Further-more, even though planum symmetry is part of the anatomic substrate of developmental dyslexia, it is unlikely that it represents a form of developmental anatomic pathology.

This paper reports the findings of an investigation aimed at gaining a clearer understanding of the nature of vocabulary difficulties associated with dyslexia and associated risk status. Three studies were conducted to examine preschoolers' access and mastery of syntactic- and phonological-based processes believed to support word learning. Results are reported for 82 participants whose (reading) risk status was assessed from a composite of measures known to be related to reading development. As expected, risk status correlated positively with participants' ability to recall the phonological form of novel nouns. No relationship was found between risk status and participants' use of syntactic form-class cues in interpreting the noun class of novel names in isolation. However, the ability to use form-class cues was impaired for at-risk participants on a task that required them to learn both the phonological form and noun class. Findings are discussed in relation to the suggestion that limitations in processing resources such as working memory rather than in the availability of language structures may be at the root of the reported poor performance by at-risk children on vocabulary and other linguistic measures.

It's the midway point for Auburn and for most of the teams in the SEC. Earlier in the week, we looked at the conference as a whole in our SEC midseason overview. Now it's time to break down the Tigers after the first six games.
Offensive MVP: C Reese Dismukes
After missing the first half of the season opener, Nick Marshall has been great. Cameron Artis-Payne is third in the SEC with 664 rushing yards. Even D'haquille Williams, the junior college transfer, can make a case. But the player who makes it all go is Dismukes. He's been the constant for this Auburn offense since Gus Malzahn arrived. When the Tigers are running the hurry-up, no-huddle offense, Dismukes is the one getting everybody set and making the calls. That's no easy task. His experience is simply irreplaceable.
Defensive MVP: DB Johnathan Ford
Nobody saw this coming before the season, but Ford, a running back in high school, has played as well as anybody on Auburn's defense. He leads the team with 41 tackles, and he also has two interceptions, one fumble forced and half a sack. The sophomore is doing it all for the Tigers, and it's his first year playing safety. It's safe to say he's found a home. In Saturday's loss to Mississippi State, Ford finished with nine tackles, one interception, one fumble forced and one quarterback hurry. How's that for a stat line against the No. 1 team in the country?
Newcomer of the year (not named D'haquille): DE Davonte Lambert
Since Duke Williams is our SEC newcomer of the year at the midway point, we're going to go a different route and take Lambert. The junior college transfer didn't have the luxury of going through spring practice, but it's easy to see why Auburn defensive line coach Rodney Garner was raving about Lambert once he got on campus. He cracked the starting lineup after the third game, and he leads the team with five tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He's not Dee Ford. He's not Carl Lawson. But he's filled in admirably, exceeding expectations.
Biggest surprise: Ellis Johnson's defense
In August, everybody was asking if Auburn score enough points again this season to make up for an average defense. Well, the Tigers took exception to that. The defense has played much better in Johnson's second year as coordinator. Before Saturday, they had allowed 21 or fewer points in each of the first five games, the longest such streak since 2007-08. Even in the loss, Auburn forced four turnovers and allowed only 10 points in the second half. If not for shortcomings on offense, it might have been a different game.
Room for improvement: Consistency on offense
Speaking of those shortcomings, it's been a struggle at times for Auburn's offense. They never really got going at Kansas State; they started slow against Louisiana Tech; and they turned the ball over twice on the first two plays in Saturday's loss to Mississippi State. The talent is there. The coaching is there. They've even shown glimpses of last year, but they have been way too inconsistent. To reach that level, that standard that Auburn set for itself last year, this offense needs to improve on the little things.
Biggest game of the second half: Nov. 1 at Ole Miss
Take your pick. The Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa obviously stands out. A trip to Georgia in November will be difficult regardless of whether Todd Gurley plays. And Auburn can't overlook home games against South Carolina and Texas A&M. But the most meaningful game left on the schedule is in Oxford against Ole Miss. The Rebels are undefeated, having already beaten Alabama and Texas A&M, and a win against Auburn could make it mighty difficult to keep them out of the playoff. On the flip side, every game is a must-win now for the Tigers, and that one is no different.

On the Company's Horizon: Plastic With a Certified Net-Positive Impact
Los Angeles-based Bureo is known for turning ocean waste, specifically nylon fishing nets, into recycled skateboards. Now the company is putting its recycled plastic to the test.
Working with the International Living Future Institute, Bureo is participating in the Living Product Challenge. The program certifies companies that meet a set of performance categories that include responsible water and energy use; use of materials that are safe to both human beings and the environment; the product's positive contribution to the health and well-being of consumers; responsible labor practices; climate impact; durability; and responsible disposal of the product.
"If (the certification is) achieved, our material will likely become the first plastic to generate a certified net-positive impact on the environment and people," says Ben Kneppers, co-founder of Bureo. "It challenges us to think: What if every single act of design and manufacturing made the world a better place?"
Bureo was founded with that intent. Three years ago, Kneppers and his friend David Stover were working in Australia, Kneppers as a sustainability consultant and Stover as a financial consultant. A friend of Stover's, Kevin Ahearn, was a taking a break from his career as a design engineer to surf in Australia. All three men sought refuge and relaxation in surfing. But as they ventured out onto the beaches, they saw waste piling up everywhere and polluting the water. Compelled to live more fulfilling lives and create a positive impact on their beloved oceans, the trio researched the sources of ocean waste.
Fishing nets, they learned, make up a staggering portion of ocean debris. Approximately 700,000 U.S. tons of fishing gear is dumped into the ocean each year. The nylon used to make the nets, though, is durable and can be repurposed into usable plastic.
So in 2013, the trio wrote up a business proposal on how to turn discarded nets into recycled skateboards. They received two rounds of seed funding totaling about $124,000 from Start-Up Chile, a funding program for social ventures in that country, to establish and expand Bureo's net collection and recycling program and develop the first skateboard.
From Decreasing Negative Impact to Creating Positive Impact
Bureo's founders aimed to do more than just find a use for discarded fishing nets — they were determined to treat the root of the waste problem, too. Fishermen were dumping nets into the ocean because very few disposal programs were available.
"We strongly believe that every fisherman and every fishing port in the world needs access to a coordinated waste-management system for their fishing gear," Stover says.
Bureo works with fishermen in Chile to promote net collection. The company's program, Net Positiva, rewards fishermen for procuring unwanted nets from their fellow fishermen.
"Chile has a vast coastline and a thriving fishing community," Stover says. "It was a great place for us to tackle this massive issue in a very local manner."
While community managers who oversee the collection process get paid for their efforts, Bureo also allocates money for every kilogram of net that is collected. That money is put toward a local nonprofit, Fundacion El Arbol, which works on environmental projects in local communities.
Once the nets are collected, they're taken to a recycling unit where they are shredded and turned into pellets. The pellets are melted and molded into skateboards. "You can make anything out of it then through an injection-mold process," explains Stover. "It's like new."
Each Bureo skateboard is made from approximately 30 square feet of harvested fishing nets. The wheels are made from 30 percent vegetable oil with 100 percent recycled cores.
While the founders started with skateboards, they've recently expanded into sunglasses. The plastic frames are made from the same material found in Bureo's recycled skateboards, and the glasses feature Carl Zeiss lenses. Packaging for all Bureo's sunglasses and skateboards is made from 100 percent recycled paper.
In 2014, outdoor clothing and gear maker Patagonia saw Bureo's story on a CBS news segment and made a call. "We were pretty surprised, but elated," Stover says. "Patagonia is an ideal partner because they understand what we're trying to do beyond the bottom line." Patagonia invested in Bureo through Patagonia's $20 Million & Change Fund, which focuses on environmentally conscientious brands.
"Bureo is not your typical startup — they've invented an incredible recycling program by rallying the fishing industry in Chile to turn plastic ocean waste into a great product," Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario said in a press release. "We're investing in Bureo's vision to scale their business to a global level and make a serious dent in the amount of plastic that gets thrown away in our oceans."
The association with Patagonia has made a difference, Stover says. Annual revenue has risen from $150,000 in 2014 to $400,000 in 2015. Bureo products are now sold in 105 stores (up from two stores in 2014), many of them Patagonia retail outlets, around the world. And the company has hired one more full-time employee, making Bureo a team of four.
In Chile, where the company collects all its nets and manufactures its products, the growth is evident, Stover notes: The company has expanded its collection program from one community to 15 and has collected over 100,000 kilograms (about 220,000 pounds) of fishing nets.
Bureo means "the waves" in Mapuche, a Chilean dialect — an apt name for a company looking to start a wave of change.

MELISSA BLOCK, Host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I?m Melissa Block.
MICHELE NORRIS, Host:
And I?m Michele Norris.
Wildlife researchers are scrambling to understand a mysterious ailment that?s killing thousands of bats in the Northeast including rare Indiana bats, which are on the endangered species list. Scientists say white-nose syndrome has been found in New York, in Vermont, and now in Massachusetts. They?re comparing the die-off to colony collapse disorder, which has ravaged America?s honeybees.
North Country Public Radio?s Brian Mann reports.
BRIAN MANN: On a snowy winter morning, wildlife biologist Al Hicks is standing outside a cave near Albany, New York. He thinks this site may be infected with white-nose syndrome.
AL HICKS: The worst-case scenario would be that this, whatever it is, has spread from bat to bat and that they can infect a new site.
MANN: Hicks works for New York?s Department of Environmental Conservation. He says more than 10,000 bats have died so far. Some of the animals exhibit a nasty crust of white fungus around their muzzles. Other animals just seem to go crazy, flying around in midwinter when they?re supposed to be tucked away in their warm caves.
HICKS: We have the mortality rates that we?ve seen so far. We potentially could lose them all.
MANN: Hicks means all the bats in the Northeast. These animals, he says, are burning up fat stores in their bodies that are meant to carry them through the winter. In the end, they literally starve to death. No one knows why this is happening. But Hicks says the ailment is spreading from four caves in New York last winter to at least 13 sites now confirmed around the region.
SUSI: We did find dead bats in the snow. We found dead bats hanging on a house nearby.
MANN: Susi von Oettingen is an endangered species biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. On Friday, she confirmed the first contaminated colony in Massachusetts.
OETTINGEN: This case of a disease, of an outbreak like this for an animal, I?ve never professionally come across it with any of the endangered species or rare and declining species that I?ve worked with.
MANN: Von Oettingen says endangered Indiana bats were recovering in the Northeast, a success story that has quickly turned bitter. At least three other species of bats have been affected so far. These animals fill a crucial ecological niche.
OETTINGEN: Bats are voracious predators of insects - in particular, moths and beetles. And if you?re a farmer, you know what moths and beetles can do to your produce.
MANN: Laboratories are racing to analyze tissue samples from sick animals. Other researchers are fanning out, identifying infected caves.
Al Hicks and his team pull on biohazard suits. It?s a precaution to avoid spreading the disease to new caves. But state officials are also taking no chances with human contamination.
BRENDA WOOD: Since you don?t know what the potential pathogen is, I mean, you have to take extra precautions.
MANN: Brenda Wood is an emerging infectious disease fellow with New York?s Department of Health. There?s no evidence that humans are at risk, she says. But her agency is watching white-nose syndrome closely.
WOOD: They?re interested because the fact that the bats are coming out early means that they can be coming into homes and therefore increasing contacts with humans.
MANN: Head lamps gleaming, Hicks and his team scramble down a raw, crumbling hole. The limestone ceiling showers water. Perched along the cave wall, clinging upside down, are tiny bats the side of field mice.
HICKS: Seven little grounds hanging there - one, two, three, four of them have the white-nose syndrome. So this a new site we hadn?t confirmed.
MANN: The crust of white on the bats? tiny muscles looks like powdered sugar. Hicks? face is hidden by his filter mask, but he shakes his head, obviously disappointed. He reaches up to inspect the first animal.
HICKS: He is dead.
MANN: Hicks admits to being completely baffled. One possibility, he says, is that white-nose syndrome is some kind of bacteria or parasite that?s being spread by humans. The federal government is urging amateur cavers to stay out of underground sites across the entire Northeast.
Back on the surface, Hicks strips off his mask and biohazard suit. He looks exhausted. This entire colony of bats, he says, will be dead by spring.
HICKS: They?re not going to make it. They?re history.
MANN: With the latest outbreaks reported in Massachusetts and Vermont, scientists say hopes that white-nose syndrome can be contained are fading fast.

Maluuba + Microsoft: Towards Artificial General Intelligence
We are incredibly excited to announce an important milestone on our journey so far. As of today, Maluuba has agreed to be acquired by Microsoft. As we turn the page on this new chapter, we thought we would discuss this exciting development and share our thoughts on what's next to come.
Ever since we were classmates in our AI course (CS 486) at the University of Waterloo, way back in the summer of 2010, our vision has been to solve artificial general intelligence by creating literate machines that could think, reason and communicate like humans.
Understanding human language is an extremely complex task and, ultimately, the holy grail in the field of AI. In early 2014, we observed great leaps in the fields of computer vision and speech recognition and pondered the potential of Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning to enable our mission of creating literate machines. We realized that a great opportunity lay ahead, where machines could learn to model the intelligence and decision-making capabilities of the human brain. This meant more than simple pattern matching on text, but building systems that can actually comprehend, synthesize, infer and make logical decisions like humans.
So far, our team has focused on the areas of machine reading comprehension, dialogue understanding, and general (human) intelligence capabilities such as memory, common-sense reasoning, and information seeking behavior. Our early research achievements in these domains accelerated our need to scale our team rapidly; it was apparent that we needed to bolster our work with significant resources to advance towards solving artificial general intelligence.
Microsoft is an excellent match for our company. Their ambitious vision of democratizing AI to empower every person and every organization on the planet fundamentally aligns with how we see our technology being used. Microsoft provides us the opportunity to deliver our work to the billions of consumer and enterprise users that can benefit from the advent of truly intelligent machines. In addition, Microsoft's immense technical resources including back-end infrastructure (i.e. Microsoft's Azure and GPU infrastructure) and engineering talent will help us accelerate our pace in conducting research and bringing solutions to market. In short, our new partnership enables us to advance more quickly toward our vision of creating literate machines.
Our journey would not be possible without the incredible support of Professor Yoshua Bengio, one of Deep Learning's founding fathers; Professor Richard Sutton, the foremost pioneer of Reinforcement Learning; and the growing research ecosystem in Montreal. Professor Bengio, in particular, has been invaluable, offering frequent advice and guidance to our researchers to shape their work. He also deserves special recognition for his vision in establishing Montreal as a nucleus for AI research in the last several years. Through the work conducted at the University of Montreal and McGill University, the city has developed the largest academic concentration of deep learning in the world: there are now about 150 deep learning researchers in the region's universities. Canada's academic, enterprise, and startup ecosystems are driving great innovation in fields like AI, demonstrating that Canada, and more specifically Montreal, can be a compelling alternative to Silicon Valley. In this new chapter, we will continue to collaborate actively with the Montreal and global academic communities invaluable publishing world-leading Artificial Intelligence research.
We would like to thank our early customers who have helped guide our research and product efforts. Moreover, we owe a debt of gratitude to our board members: Brian Kang of Nautilius Venture Partners, Ludovic André of Emerillon Capital, Hyuk-Jeen Suh of Samsung Ventures and our Chairman Dave Grannan, whose business guidance and financial support has allowed us to navigate challenging paths at times. We would like to especially acknowledge Ludovic André for his steadfast, unwavering support of our mission and Brian Kang whose invaluable support and belief in us persisted ever since the early beginnings of Maluuba, when we were still students at the University of Waterloo.
Finally, we would like to thank our employees for getting Maluuba to this point in our collective journey. As this next chapter unfolds we're reminded of the words of T.S. Eliot: "In our end is our beginning."

CLEVELAND — Terry Collins still was red in the face. And he spoke as if every word he uttered took a toll.
For the second game in a row, the Mets had won, quieting talk of a team that has struggled to meet expectations.
But for the manager, a 6-5 victory over the Indians on Friday night came only after more frayed nerves and spikes in blood pressure. It wasn't perfect, nor was it easy.
Collins reshuffled a slumping lineup that responded by hitting a season-high four home runs. But the Mets nearly coughed up a four-run lead in the ninth and almost paid dearly for a pair of baserunners getting thrown out at home.
"We won the game," Collins said, a clenched fist in a gray uniform after the Mets made victory look so painfully difficult.
Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer off setup man Addison Reed with two outs in the ninth, forcing Collins to summon closer Jeurys Familia.
Collins drew criticism after a 2-1 victory over the Marlins on Wednesday in which he managed an April game as if he were in a pennant race in September. That meant asking Familia to pitch in his third straight game and record five outs.
Two days later, pitching for the sixth time in nine games, Familia allowed a hit to Yan Gomes, threw a wild pitch and surrendered an RBI single to Marlon Byrd. But after a walk to Juan Uribe put the tying run in scoring position, Familia got Jose Ramirez to fly out to end it.
"Last year, I threw a lot of games, too," Familia said, brushing off what has been a brutal workload. "The bullpen, you never know when you're going to pitch."
The Mets took a 6-1 lead with a five-run fifth inning, powered by a leadoff homer by Alejandro De Aza, who started for only the second time this season, and two-out, two-run shots by Yoenis Cespedes and Neil Walker.
Michael Conforto homered in his first at-bat in his first start as the No. 3 hitter. He had a two-out infield single to set up the final four runs in the fifth. "We've got a little momentum," Conforto said. "The hits are starting to fall in there."
The Mets had averaged only 2.5 runs per game in their first eight games and ranked at or near the bottom in several major offensive categories. On Friday night, they had a season-high 14 hits and hit more homers in one game (four) than they had in their previous eight (two).
Perhaps Collins has found an answer in his new lineup. "We'll try it another day, I know that," he said.
Bartolo Colon (1-1) earned his 219th career victory. It tied him with Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez for the second most among pitchers born in the Dominican Republic, trailing only the great Juan Marichal (243).
Colon, 42, allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 1⁄3 innings against the Indians, the club that gave him his first shot in the major leagues.
Mets admit "mistake." The Mets responded to the controversy that erupted after it was revealed that they auctioned off the jersey worn by Mike Piazza when he homered in the first game after Sept. 11. "We admit that we made a mistake, and have instituted a new process with internal controls to prevent something like this from happening again," the club said in a statement.

Land Rover unveils tank-like Range Rover Sentinel
Updated 1:11 pm, Tuesday, September 22, 2015
The Secret Service might want to bust out the check book for this one. Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled the new Range Rover Sentinel and it is a bullet-and-bomb proof masterpiece.
When it comes to security, it does not get much safer than the "fortress on wheels."
The Sentinel can withstand fire from 7.62 mm armor piercing rounds like those fired from an AK-47, blasts from up to 33 pounds of TNT and grenade attacks, even when coming from underneath the vehicle.
Instead of regular glass, the Sentinel has been retrofitted with multi-laminated armor privacy glass with high viewing quality so drivers can see clearly while having extreme bullet protection.Passengers will also sit inside a steel-fortified armored cell.
The SUV also has run flat tires fitted to 20-inch split rim alloy wheels, which means the vehicle can keep driving even with extensive tire damage.
On top of all that, The Sentinel has a 340PS 3.0-liter V6 supercharged engine, with a calibrated ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and an anti-tamper exhaust, a self-sealing fuel tank, auxiliary back-up battery and a split charging system. For added safety, there is also an emergency escape system behind the rear seats.
Despite all of these protective features, The Sentinel still retains its all-terrain drive, roomy interior and command driving position.
With a guide price of $445,000, the Sentinel made its debut at the Defense and Security Equipment International Show in London earlier this month.

so ever since about a month ago, i've had abdominal pain. it's went from aches to even sometimes sharp pains. they occur every single day but mostly go away at night. what could be causing this constant pain?
Yeah, you really should see a doctor regarding abdominal pain. It could be something simple like gas, or something serious like cancer or ANYWHERE in-between. Very important to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Pesticide & Herbicide Application' started by sandrat, May 28, 2007.
anyone ever use AERIFY..........liquid aeration????
I haven't used that name brand but I just put down a liquid called Turf2Max that is probably the same thing. The jury is still out.
Yes, we've used it but the better product is Soil Life. Here is the link - www.superbio.com
how many applications a year do you put down? when? how much do you charge? how long does it take to see results?
I tried Aerify last year. I put down two applications and was not impressed. It's soap, not magic. More info in this thread:
Wish I had my money back...
Its not as effective as manually aerating the lawn nor does it give you a seed barier. However, it is very good for your soil with no quick results....
Actually, Soil Life isn't soap, it's a package of bacteria and microbes. We use 2 apps - late spring and early fall - and have seen good results. It's not like you're going to see aeration plugs laying around but the yards we've done were greener and recovered from heat stress a lot better than untreated yards. We also like to use it on yards with invisible fences. We price it at $8-10 per square foot per app.
Bump this up...was searching for any threads on the use of Turf2max and found this only. Any newer threads or results of this or any other similar products (aerify, gypsum)? Doesn't say anything about need for licensing for this product. Anyone?

Func KB-460 Gaming Keyboard ReviewPerformance & Driver »
The Package
Func ships the keyboard in a pretty, white box.
The keyboard we got for review has a Nordic layout. Func ships replacement keys with the keyboard, so your special characters will look correct on the keyboard, instead of printing three or more letters on the keys with local characters.
Closer Examination
Its soft and black look is really cool! That and its red backplate, just visible through the gaps in-between the keys, makes it look sharp. The font size on the key tops is a little smaller than usual, but not an issue at all.
Back lighting is a must-have for any gamer that plan on attending LANs. The KB-460 has a four-mode back-lighting system and red LEDs behind each key for illumination. The LEDs are not overly bright and nor are its lock LEDs annoying.
Like most gaming keyboards Func has a Func-mode, which turns off the Windows keys.
The keyboard works even without its driver installed on the system. You can access different profiles by pressing the Fn-key and the macro keys at the top simultaneously.
Illuminated Cherry MX Red keys throughout.
The cable solution looks neat and has a braided cover, like the cable on the MS-3 mouse.
The stands offer just one elevation level, but are generally well designed, with rubber feet on them.
A convenient feature on the KB-460 are its two USB ports at the top-right corner.
The layout is totally standard and the placement of everything, including the arrow keys, is totally ordinary, which is a good thing when it comes to keyboards.
