Last year Suzette Rice started an employment agency.
This year she's getting help from the city to build her business.
The city of Valdosta has certified seven local small businesses through its Small Emerging Business Program, which could mean big money for small companies.
Rice said, "It's opened a lot of doors, pointed me in the right direction on things that I've needed to get accomplished, to be successful from the start."
"It allows small business to have a seat at the table in major bidding projects," said Valdosta mayor, John Fretti.
The program will help guide and instruct small business owners like Eugene Dale, on how they can be competitive in the local market.
Eugene has owned his electrical company for 28 years but hasn't moved out of "phase one" as he calls it.
The Small Emerging Business Program is helping him hammer out the details on the steps needed to compete for larger government contracts.
For entrepreneurs like Suzette, the program will teach her how to be the boss.
"It's time," said Rice. "It's time for me to step out on my own and do it for myself."
The VSEB program currently has a number of other businesses who are also in the process of being certified. VSEB certified businesses have access to a wealth of educational resources, the Access to Capital Program, a bonding assistance program, and will receive regular correspondence on local government bidding opportunities.
These tools will equip them to effectively compete for government contracts.
For more information, contact the VSEB Program Coordinator Hunter Harper at (229) 671-3623 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The first 7 certified businesses were honored at a January 28th ceremony.

I loved Angel more than Buffy. I even loved that season that everyone hated. I can't decide if my favorite character was Cordelia or Darla. Cordelia showed more layers on Angel than Buffy, but there is something about Darla. She reminds me of the Angelique character on Dark Shadows. All of her rage and anger is tied up in this great love, that burned hot, but was ultimately one-sided.

I liked it too, yes, even Season four... but didn't much care for significant parts of season five (the last season).
Cordelia was the heart of the show. When she left, the show was a sad echo of its former self. This was never more apparent than in the 100th episode special when she made a single-episode re-appearance... that episode shined out compared to the other episodes around it.

I LOVED Lilah. Loved Lilah and Wesley together too.
Why the fuck the show killed her off and replaced her with that nonentity is a mystery to me.
Angel went into a swift decline once Cordelia and Lilah were gone.

"Eve", oh lord, she was so horrible. Rumors were that she was 1) cheaper, and 2) brought it because Lilah was considered "too old" and they wanted a more youthful demographic. Or something stupid like that.
Worst mistake of the show (out of many mistakes).
And I loved Lindsey.
Doyle was dumped for his drug use, and died of an O.D. not too long after. It was because they dumped him that they brought in Wesley, who was amazing on the show. His character growth and arc was second only to Cordillia's.

Fred had no appeal. Actually, as bad as she was, it was even worse when she became that demon at the end. I was only half-watching by that season.

Oil markets well placed or on a knife-edge?
On the face of it, nothing very much is happening in the oil market. Brent and related prices have stuck fairly closely to the $100 mark that represents a reasonably comfortable level for producers in the Gulf.
The gathering of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) in Vienna a few weeks ago quietly rolled over the existing production quota, conscious that the world economy has probably needed the gentle softening in the cost of crude that has occurred in recent months. Saudi Arabia has been reported as even raising monthly output in anticipation of summer requirements.
Moreover, in recent weeks it has also become apparent that the heavier, sour crude emanating from the Gulf and Russia has been in greater demand in Asia, a trend not reflected in the benchmark price series of both Brent and WTI.
Apart from the fact that some non-GCC exporters are more concerned about the implications of the US's unfolding energy revolution, there's a certain tension between the time horizons represented in the current trading range.
It may reasonably be expected in the short term that seasonal pick-up will be repeated, referring to the so-called driving season in the US, and the Gulf's need of its own resources as the regional climate imposes its stifling burden.
Equally, for the medium term the unconvincing nature of the global rebound from financial crisis says something quite different about the likely strength of demand relative to supply, i.e. the fundamental balance of the market over time.
Naturally enough, any given price prevailing is accounted for by offsetting factors. But in the present circumstances there may be a sense of a narrowing of that bridge, to perhaps tightrope proportions, if in fact the prospect in the months ahead is tougher than lulled perceptions might have imagined.
To the extent that oil has not shared so much in the general weakening of commodities thus far in 2013, it might be taken as a bullish sign of conditions, or alternatively an indication of a disconnect between the physical market and the positioning of traders taking a bet on an economic recovery that may not materialize.
The International Energy Agency's (IEA) recent medium-term analysis was described as bearish in its slant, recognizing the supply shock that North America has imparted, while Opec's latest monthly report spoke of the "uncertainties" and "challenges" ahead in the second half of this year, for which bank research arms are said to be forecasting moderate price declines.
Certainly, the international financial markets have signalled in the past week their fragility in the potential absence of the life support of liquidity offered by the US Federal Reserve and the systemic difficulties holding back the Chinese economy. There is a disturbing story still waiting to be played out, one could say.
Given the growing nervousness over the scale and sustainability of real economic growth to be derived from the massive monetary injection attempted by leading governments, it makes you wonder how much oil prices actually respond to the respective, headline economic variables.
Furthermore, might speculative movements again overshadow trading (although the fact that seasonality can be a recurring factor in such a developed market at least suggests that ongoing conditions do account substantially for realized price trends).
In a recently-released explanatory paper, the US's Energy Information Administration (EIA) noted that such financial positioning has actually reached record levels in 2013, in terms of the number of contracts struck in oil futures, owing to the influx of participants into the market.
While the relevance of oil to indicators of the world economy is obviously circular (i.e. cause and effect), both academic studies and official observations as to the two-directional causality of oil prices with inflation and growth are inconclusive, seeming to depend on modelling techniques.
So the element of guesswork would appear to rank especially highly in predicting oil (considering that economic forecasting per se is very hit-and-miss, arguably unscientific, in nature), except insofar as Opec is able promptly to regulate adjustments as they arise.
The IMF's latest regional outlook concurred with the essentially untroubled tone for the moment. The oil-exporting GCC countries "generally face a benign outlook", it said. The caveat was familiar though slightly ominous: "If the global outlook worsens, [they] would also face serious pressures. A prolonged decline in oil prices, rooted in persistently low global economic activity, could run down reserve buffers and result in fiscal deficits."
With GDP growth predicted sideways at an agreeable 4 per cent for the GCC this year and next, the accompanying chart shows that the comfort zone afforded by positive financial balances is contracting, viewing the pending slippage in current account and fiscal surpluses.
Is it only paranoia to suppose that one day these concerns may truly register? Is the hush surrounding oil a genuine calm? Or does the anticipated jitteriness of stock and bond markets carry a note of broader foreboding for oil as well?

From the Wall Street Journal
Both Parties Vie for Support Among an Ethnic Group That Has Voted Democratic
By JONATHAN WEISMAN
WOODBRIDGE, Va.—The surging Hispanic population in several states that figure to be crucial to the outcome of next year's election is prompting an early scramble by both parties to influence Hispanic voters.
The trend is particularly important to President Barack Obama, who has seen his support among white voters sag, putting his hold on several swing states in danger. He is ramping up an urgent effort to win support from Latinos, while Republicans are trying to build on doubts among them about his stewardship of the economy.
In Florida, the nation's largest presidential swing state, the voting-age Hispanic population grew by nearly 250,000 people between 2008 and 2010, census data show. By contrast, the voting-age white population grew by 30,400.
Nevada added more than 44,000 voting-age Hispanics over the same period, more than double the increase of 18,000 voting-age whites. And in New Mexico, the voting-age Hispanic total rose by more than 36,000, outpacing the growth among whites of just over 19,000.
Mr. Obama won all three states in 2008—and two-thirds of Hispanic voters nationwide—but he's now facing headwinds. Hispanic unemployment stands at 11.3%, higher than the 9.1% rate for the nation as a whole. And the president has failed to deliver a promised overhaul of immigration laws that would include a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Monk's been swindled out of his savings but now it's payback time, in the latest original mystery featuring everyone's favorite OCD detective. In the midst of a financial crisis, the SFPD fires Adrian Monk as a consultant. Monk figures he can live off his savings for a while. Then Natalie learns that Monk invested his money some time ago with Bob Sebes, the charismatic leader of Reinier Investments, who's just been arrested on charges of orchestrating a massive $100 million fraud. All of Sebes' clients including Monk are completely wiped out financially. When the key witness in the government's case against Sebes is killed, Monk is convinced that Sebes did it, but the man has been under house arrest with a horde of paparazzi in front of his building 24/7. Monk may be broke, but he's got plenty of time on his hands to solve this latest mystery.

Just the War, Just the Peace: Tolstoy's Famous Work Separated at LastPosted: December 10th, 2013 | Author: aarondietz | Filed under: Events, Long, Other People, Serious, With Pictures | 2 Comments »
While I was working on splitting Tolstoy's War and Peace into the two separate books, Just the War, and Just the Peace, I would occasionally tell people what I was up to, and most people would laugh and think it was a joke. And it was a joke! A very funny one, too! But I didn't let that stop me from actually doing it. Just the War, Just the Peace is now available from Emergency Press. Both volumes are sold in one simple ebook, in most of the major ebook formats (Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble–I believe Google is coming soon). At $0.99, it's a bargain!

Instances like with FixWinReg are perfect examples of Windows users needing to migrate to safer operating systems where they will not be a target.
Despite Microsoft obviously having no ability to stop this from happening on their OS (it's not their fault), I have to tell me people who ask me about where to upgrade to that considering a Mac or purchasing a new Ubuntu box pre-configured, might be. I've actually done thing on a few different occasions and which I chose depended greatly on that user's needs. Generally speaking, if this was someone whom I could simply point to System76.com support and they are not needing anything terribly fancy with regard to specialty software, the Ubuntu box made the most sense as these individuals had no interest in relearning everything from scratch. Mac's are great, but you put any long time Windows user in front of one and the lack of add/remove software and a right click is going to wear thin pretty fast – I have seen it time and time again.
And then there are those people who learn quickly and adapt easily. Designers, coders, etc. People who work off of their PCs and would be able to learn the OS X way of doing things fairly easily. A Mac Mini almost always fit the bill for these folks as it is inexpensive and allows them to buy from a sizable library of proprietary software if needed.
So what about Vista? Microsoft remains strong financially, yet they are still sitting squarely in the toilet with regard to public perception and Ballmer is at the helm as per usual with his little white brush in hand. It's wild as Microsoft has done so well in the mobile and gaming sectors that they continue to hit a sour Catch 22 in the desktop market with value and usability. Sales have been good enough, but if they are telling you this translates to value, then someone needs to be fired.
Based on the trends I have seen since about 2004 using XP, I would not at all be shocked if within the next 10 years we see Microsoft concede the home and 'prosumer' markets to others while making enterprise their exclusive focus. At that time, I believe the health of their OS division may depend on it as things continue to flop and stumble. At the same time, their other divisions will continue to succeed and they will grow into other new areas. But make no mistake about it, they will lose with Office and Windows with home users, mark my words, it will happen and is already beginning to.
Vista stinks, I've used it at length and in all brutal honesty, it makes Windows Me look forgivable. Anyone out there who still runs a repair business had better think real long and hard before recommending that OS to anyone unless they are ready to be lynched later by some extremely unhappy clients. This is not to say that they won't have learned some hard lessons by the time Windows 7 rolls out. But this current release offers ZERO value of any kind whatsoever to the casual user. And if you cannot see that, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
I told each and every one of you long before Vista was ever released that it was going to be problematic. Imagine my shock when I discovered that even if things ran perfectly, people still wanted XP back.

Athlete of the Week
Zach Gorney
Huntley, Senior
Gorney, a 6-foot-4 forward, had games of 18 and 16 points as the Red Raiders won two Fox Valley Conference Valley Division games for the week.
Gorney scored 18 points Tuesday as the Raiders defeated McHenry, 61-41. He came back with a team-high 16 points Friday as Huntley held off Jacobs, 48-45, in a pivotal FVC Valley game. With that victory, Huntley took a two-game lead in the loss column over Cary-Grove and Jacobs.
Gorney, who had been mired in a shooting slump with his mid-range shots, busted out at a crucial point in the game, hitting a 3-pointer and two 17-foot shots. Gorney's 3 came when Huntley trailed, 38-35, late in the third quarter.
His other two long jumpers each came with the Raiders chasing Jacobs by a basket in the fourth quarter. After Gorney's second shot, Huntley did not trail again.
"I found it at a good time, I guess, started hitting when we really needed it," said Gorney, who recently announced he will play at NCAA Division III Benedictine University next year. "I hit it in the beginning of the year, and I've been slumping toward the middle, but this is the first time I've hit there in a few games."
Chasing a milestone: Huntley's Amanze Egekeze, a fourth-year varsity player, is closing in on 1,000 career points. Egekeze, a 6-foot-8 senior who signed with D-I Belmont, has 891 points and currently is third among area players at 18.3 points a game.
Crystal Lake South's Austin Rogers likely would have passed 1,000 points, but the 6-2 senior forward suffered a knee injury last week that ended his high school career. Rogers, who has 820 points in two seasons, sustained a torn ACL, MCL, meniscus damage and a fractured bone in his right knee. Rogers leads the area at 23.4 points a game.
Nice preview: In Huntley's FVC Valley victory over Jacobs, 48-45, Friday night a couple of freshmen – Jacobs' Cameron Krutwig and Huntley's Jack Bessey – gave fans a little glimpse of what will come in the future.
Krutwig scored nine points, with six coming in the third quarter while he was defended by Amanze Egekeze. On one move, he faked, pivoted and ducked under Egekeze to score.
Bessey scored only one basket, but it came at a critical time with Huntley trailing Jacobs, 38-35, late in the third quarter and tied the score at 38-38. Those two likely will provide a lot more big plays over the next three-plus seasons.
This Week's Top Games
Grayslake Central vs. Woodstock
7 p.m. Wednesday, at James M. Shipley Memorial Gymnasium
• Grayslake Central is 4-0 in FVC Fox games and Woodstock is 2-0, so the winner gains an upper hand although the division looks fairly balanced.
Prairie Ridge vs. Jacobs
7 p.m. Saturday, at the Eagles' Nest
• This starts the second round of division games and Prairie Ridge is three games back, while Jacobs is two behind FVC Valley-leading Huntley.
Huntley vs. Cary-Grove
7 p.m. Saturday, at Elroy Fitzgerald Gymnasium
• Huntley leads the Valley with a 5-0 mark and C-G is 1 1/2 games back. The Trojans are 8-3 since a 58-25 loss to Huntley on Dec. 17.

I Have Necrosis Under my Belly Button. I Dont Have a Hole but I'm Worried It May Develop from TT. Can This Happen?
A small area of necrosis will usually heal just fine. You need to keep it clean and perform dressing changes until it is healed. This is a rather common complication in TT's.

Area of necrosis under the umbilicus
This is not an unusual problem. Keep the area clean and give it time to heal on its own. Do not use hydrogen peroxide on the area as it will delay healing. With proper care this will heal. If it leaves an excessive scar then it can be revised at a later date.
Necrosis from Tummy Tuck
Don't worry at all! The belly button area is the tightest part of a tummy tuck - because the skin is pulled down so tight and then the belly button is pulled up to it - so there is a lot of tension on the wounds there - which can cause a small part of the skin to die (necrosis). But the body is amazing and it usually can heal on it's own without any problem. Good luck!

In your case, you could think of the darkness of the pixels as an "elevation", and thus contouring it would create a vector outline of the dark pixels. Another problem in GIS is taking a rater where each pixel value represents some scalr quantity, like land cover type, and to turn that into vector polygons -- that might actually be closer to what you need than contouring. One trick is that your data are noisy -- hopefully appropriate smoothing will take care of that.

Becker County's bill to board inmates adds to urgency of jail solution
DETROIT LAKES, Minn. -- When the numbers are crunched, the Becker County staff sees a real need for a new jail soon.
The county paid $25,000 last month to Hubbard County for housing inmates who won't fit in Becker County's facility. Becker is estimated to pay $300,000 to $400,000 a year to Hubbard County. And that doesn't include transportation costs.
"It's costing us a lot more than we originally thought," Sheriff Kelly Shannon told the County Board on Tuesday.
County Administrator Jack Ingstad expressed to the commissioners that this is a concern and that a need for jail options is pressing.
Besides saving on the cost of housing inmates in Hubbard County, Shannon estimates the county could save 30 percent of its $2 million personnel budget if the jail was laid out better.
With the way the jail is arranged now, more eyes are needed on the rooms and hallways. In a more modern design, there would be a control room at the center and long hallways with unobstructed lines of sight.
The county has been looking at various types of jails that could be built, and one option is a modular facility. Shannon said Douglas County's jail is a good example of one.
"Douglas County is about mirror to us," Shannon said, regarding space needs.
A shared, regional facility remains an option as well.
Besides issues with the layout, the Becker County jail received poor grades during a recent review by the Minnesota Department of Corrections, and the county has been trying to remedy some of those deficiencies.
The board approved some of the work required, including light fixtures, stainless-steel toilets, water softener, an upgrade of cameras and television screens for monitoring cameras, and water pipes. About $70,000 has been budgeted for the work.
The board plans to discuss the jail further at its May 13 meeting.

We learned earlier this month that The CW has given the DC comic-based "iZombie" a series order, and a few stars have thus far been attached. As production gets ready to begin, one of those roles is already being recast, and we've got the latest for ya today. Read on!
Per Deadline, the network is going to be replacing actress Alexandra Krosney (pictured), who was originally going to be playing the roommate and best friend of main character Liv, who becomes a zombie. No word yet on who will be taking over the role.
"iZombie," from Rob Thomas Productions and Warner Bros. Television, is written by Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero and produced by Thomas, Ruggiero, Danielle Stokdyk, and Dan Etheridge. Rose McIver stars, alongside David Anders and Robert Buckley.
Med student-turned-zombie Liv (McIver) takes a job in the coroner's office to gain access to the brains she must reluctantly eat to maintain her humanity. But with each brain she consumes, she inherits the corpse's memories. With the help of her medical examiner boss and a police detective, she solves homicide cases in order to quiet the disturbing voices in her head. Based on the characters created by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred; published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint.
Expect lots more soon, and in the meantime be sure to follow "iZombie" on Twitter (@CWiZombie).

It's kind of silly really.
My husband has laughed at me when I see something expensive that I think I can make myself for waaaaaay cheaper. He says I get this funny smile on my face.
Ridiculous, huh?
Read on. Maybe it's not so ridiculous.
If you knew how little we spend on groceries and personal and home care items, maybe you wouldn't think it is so ridiculous.
Well, when I tell you that I've got a great deal for you today on something that really makes me almost giddy, maybe what I've just said will help you understand.
For only $.99 – (Yes, that's 99 teeny little pennies) you can get a copy of Easy Homemade by Mandi at Life – Your Way. {UPDATE on Aug 22: Price goes up to $3.99 after Tuesday, Aug 21}
And you can get the:
or the full color PDF version to read on your computer
Over 60 pantry items that you can now make your own instead of paying top dollar for in the grocery store.
This is a book I really would love to have written myself. But life is a little complex now so my book will have to wait.
There are loads of great ideas in this book.
There are recipes for:
BBQ sauce
And frankly, at this price – even if only one recipe works for you, you will more than make up the price.
So – Why Buy Easy. Homemade?
Save money by making things yourself
Cut down on trips to the store – you've got everything you need in your Real Food Pantry .

It's only $.99! What's to lose :-)?
Just a note to all of my special diet readers.
If you are a "getting away from sugar and white flour reader",
You will for sure find that in this book. I am sure you can do some subbing and if not – maybe you can wait and see what I come up with in the not-too-distant future. I have a pretty good ketchup recipe to share soon!
And if you are on a special diet: Try subbing in Sweeteners, Egg Replacer, Almond Milk, etc.
Anyway, if I were you, I would go and grab Easy Homemade right now. And start saving.
Your pocketbook will thank you.

How to download a file to my PC from a remote server?
I want to download a file from my remote server on my computer using an SSH client, say like PuTTY. How can I do that?
Thank you for any help provided.
man scp
Assuming you are on windows (given the putty reference), get pscp from the putty site and use that. Otherwise, you can use psftp (a putty secure ftp client).
If you're trying to do this from linux, see post 2
If the one client is Windows and the other is linux.
Then you could use WinSCP a very nice program
Thanks a lot for the help guys. I tried pscp and it works like a charm. Woohooo.
WinSCP is blocked by my university's firewall! Don't know why. Idiots!

Hi Users@Sonar,On june 19th, Jean-Philippe Poulin de Courval sent an email regarding analysis of Mocha/JsCoverage projects. Being interested in this myself, I have adapted Mocha to be able to provide LCOV coverage data, the format used by the JavaScript plugin. See https://github.com/visionmedia/mocha/pull/485 for the pull request on GitHub.
As the pull request is not integrated (yet?), here is a short description on how use Sonar with the JavaScript plugin on your favorite JavaScript project. The full example-project can be found at https://github.com/StevenLooman/mco.
--- snip ---#!/usr/bin/env bashrm -rf coveragerm -rf lib-covmkdir coverageecho Running mochanode-jscoverage lib lib-covmv lib lib-origmv lib-cov libmocha -R lcov > coverage/coverage.lcov
mocha -R xunit > coverage/TEST-all.xmlrm -rf libmv lib-orig lib--- snip ---Finally, the Sonar/JavaScript plugin needs to know where to get the test/coverage data. This is done by setting the following properties:
sonar.javascript.jstestdriver.reportsfolder=coveragesonar.javascript.jstestdriver.coveragefile=coverage.lcovsonar.dynamicAnalysis=reuseReportsIf all is set right, the JavaScript plugin will pick up the TEST-all.xml file for the test results, and the coverage.lcov file for the coverage data.

Lawn Care Tips
Top Ten Ways For a Beautiful Lawn
A top ten check list of the best ways to ensure you'll have a beautiful lawn.
1. Mowing height: The first and best way to ensure a healthy lawn is to cut it high. As I mentioned on the mowing techniques page which is worthy of repetition, "When you mow, you prevent seeds from generating and so your lawn, in turn, produces more sprouts frantically trying to find a way to regenerate. Mowing too short is the number one offense reported by the lawn patrol. Just like with trees, the height of the top relates to the depth of it's roots. Grass with deep roots has a better chance to survive a drought and it also keeps the soil shady, preventing moisture loss and drying of the sun, which in turn, compacts the soil. A taller grass blade absorbs more light, has more nutrient producing cells, and it resistant to invading weeds.
2. Don't bag your clippings: The clippings you produce from mulching provide 50% of your lawns nutrient supplements. As it decomposes it produces nitrogen. Also, a thin layer of thatch holds in moisture and provides safe harbor for those ecologically friendly or beneficial insects (ground beetles, rove beetles, ants, worms).
3. Weed control: Inspect your lawn prior to mowing. It is easier to spot weeds before you cut. Remove weeds upon discovery. Doing this when they are young is much easier than when they've had the chance to establish deep trafficking root systems.
4. Monitor water or precipitation levels: Your lawn needs at least an inch of water a week. Put a container like a tuna can somewhere inconspicuous and watch how much water is collected during a rain or sprinkle. You may need to water if you haven't had rain. Place the can near a sprinkler to measure. And it is best applied while watering between 6:00 to 10:00 am. Later in the day you will be losing moisture in evaporation as the sun gets warmer. Also, water will not saturate deep enough causing roots to stay near the surface instead of flowing deeper and gaining root strength along the way. The amount of water and the time consummed will be lesser in applying.
5. Fertilize: A good, spring fertilizer with organic ingredients has been successful in it's spreading. There has also been great results with manure/humus mixtures. Kelp and seaweed has been known to establish another application. It is available in a liquid concentrate and can be added to your sprayer applicator. Organics are best for your soil and in most cases much cheaper. And, in the long run you'll develop a more nutritious soil. Fall fertilizing is by far the most important of seasonal applications. It prepares the entire lawn for a long, cold winter. Scott's Turf Builder Winterizer has had some outstanding results.
6. Aerate: Aeration gives your soil relief from impacting. Soil gets hard and tough for grass roots to develop, so by plugging holes all over your lawn gives the soil some relief. Oxygen is then readily available directly to the roots, water is more easily absorb. It is best done in either early spring, like March, or in June or September. In Northeast Ohio, these months you are less likely to find weed seed propagating and thus finding good germinating opportunities in those little holes. Call you local County Extension for your areas best aerating times.
7. Good fall clean up: Removing deciduous leave and debris from your lawn prevents safe harbor for insect larvae to develop. And it also prevents an unbalanced Ph level.
8. Overseeding: Filling in your lawns bare or thin spots or high traffic areas can protect it from disease, insects and dry compacting. See the overseeding section on this page.
9. Detoxifying: If you've used chemicals for any number of years, you may have developed volatile soil. Grass becomes lazy and doesn't work as hard at photosynthesis. Beneficial insects cannot establish themselves and help your cause because the soil is too toxic. Start using organic fertilizers and bag your grass clipping for at least two months. Discard in paper recycling bags instead of plastic for easy decomposition.
10. Good Soil Composition: Good soil composition can achieve a low-maintenance lawn in a simple and easy way. Once you have established good soil the remaining activities are less required.
The most basic care that effects the health and condition of your turf is the way in which it is nourished. Watering and fertilizing are the two biggest factors in determining the condition of your lawn. I know it sounds fundamental, and it is, but these two areas are most often than not, improperly applied.
Plenty of water is obviously required to maintain a healthy lawn because it not only supplies basic nutrients it also prevents problems from pests and diseases.
Northern lawns need very little water, unless of course, you have a dry spell. They usually get enough rain during the season to maintain it's condition but if there is a drought the grass goes into a dormant mode. So, if it does brown up a bit it will perk up with the next rainfall. If it gets to looking wilted, well, then it's time to water.
Longer periods of watering a couple of times a week are better than short, frequent watering. Even though the grass may appear green and healthy with frequent sprinkling you are only discouraging root growth. If the roots don't have to search deep into the soil to find water they get lazy and stay near the surface thus producing weak turf.
Over-watering produces more blade than root requiring more frequent mowing. And if you over water you create an environment friendly atmosphere for insects to lay their eggs.
The best time to water is early in the morning while the dew is still present or just beginning to evaporate. Lawns require different amounts of water depending on the type of soil you have. 1.5 to 2 inches of water a week is sufficient. The water needs to penetrate about 6 inches below the surface. To set a time limit on how long to water would vary because everyone has different water pressure. You can place a small pot or plastic food storage container in the yard to collect the sprinkling water in order to measure it's amount.
Of course, southern lawns may require a little more, especially during the heat of the summer. And speaking of heat, never, I mean emphatically never, ever water in the middle of a hot day. I see it all the time. Perhaps there has been a time in your life where you've been on a boat or near a body of water, perhaps on a beach, or in a swimming pool where you became completely sunburned. This occurs at a much quicker rate because of the reflective rays of the sun bouncing off the water. So, not only are you receiving direct sunlight, you are getting hit from all angles of reflected rays as well. This happens to your grass as you water during the day. You are subjecting the blades to an exponential amount of sunshine, which will cause it to burn. Another reason is that the water evaporates quickly during this time of day, so you are wasting more water and it doesn't have a great chance of sinking deep into the soil where it would be beneficial. Roots will not search deep into the ground. If you take anything from this page, adhere to these words. Do not water in the middle of the day.
The same goes for fertilizing as it does for watering. It is better in moderation. A conservative amount of fertilizer will create the healthiest lawns. Like with water, if the roots don't have far to go to search for food they'll get lazy. Then if the weather becomes dry they won't have much of a chance to survival because their roots have grown shallow.
Grass clippings are a natural way to fertilize. There are many people bagging the clippings and this is a wasteful nutritional supplement. As the grass clippings decompose they release nitrogen into the soil. And the clippings make it difficult for weed spores to find a place to rest and sprout.
Once a year fertilizing is all that's really necessary. In northern climates the fall is the best time because the rate for top growth has slowed significantly yet photosynthesis is still in full swing. For southern lawns spring or early summer is the best time so any new growth that's resulted will have a chance to take root opposed to fall months when winter dormant sets is.
When to fertilize
University research has shown that fall (August or September) and late fall (October, November or December) fertilization is ideal for home lawns. Fertilizations during these times will benefit lawns more than any other practice. Most homeowners place too much emphasis on spring and summer fertilization. Some fertilizer is needed during the spring and summer; however, over-application of fertilizer at these times can cause disease, rapid growth requiring much more frequent mowing and other problems that result in "summer lawn nightmares."
When parts of your lawn are bare or thin, a complete lawn renovation isn't necessary. In most cases, thinning can be caused by drought stress, insect damage or lack of fertility. If you still have 50% or more of your lawn, overseeding is a method to bring back it's density or thickness.Overseeding without first working the soil is a waste of time and money. The overseeding will almost always fail. The seed has to be in contact with soil in order to germinate and grow.The first step is to inspect the thatch, or layer of dead grass clippings. If the thatch is more than a half an inch thick it needs to be removed. If it is less, then you have a couple different options for overseeding. You can work up the soil with a good, strong rake working small grooves into the soil, then you can seed. If you are faced with a large area, a slit seeder is another method. You can rent a slit seeding machine to do your overseeding. This machine actually plants seed below the thatch layer not requiring additional soil cultivation.
Once the seed has been sown, just follow normal care for establishing the newly seeded area.

The name Richard Windsor may sound innocuous, but it is allegedly one of the secret "alias" email accounts used by Obama EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson.
"That is the name — sorry, one of the alias names — used by Obama's radical EPA chief to keep her email from those who ask for it," Chris Horner, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and author of the new book "The Liberal War on on Transparency," told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email.
In his book, Horner revealed the existence of "alias" email accounts used by EPA administrators. The first such transparency dodge, he writes, came from Carol Browner, former director of the Obama White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy and Bill Clinton's EPA administrator.

What about bullet type?
@ 10851Man:
Great post, and impressive experience!
One question:
What about fype of bullet? Appart from caliber issue: different bullets in same caliber will have different stopping power?
In your experience: full metal jacket, or hollow point? Or something else?
Military rounds have purpose of disabling the enemy, hunting type of ammo has a purpose of momentarily stopping / dropping the game, etc.
The sole caliber is of secondary importance when it comes to bullet fragmentation and hydrostatic (disabling and stopping) shock.
I would sort the priorities to achieve stopping power like this:
Proper shot placement - type of bullet - type of caliber.
(for situation where you can choose your ground, CONTROL YOUR STRESS and take your time, like law enforcement sniper, or a counter sniper, or trained officer)
Many (untrained) civilans in self defence situation will not be able to control the stress and aim properly.
In such situation, where you can not waste time for good aiming (breathing control, trigger control, etc),the priorities like this:
Type of bullet - proper shot placment - type of caliber.
(for tactical and unexpected situation, in lets-say-close quarters)
So, back to question:
Still shooting and woonded bad guys - what kind of bullet did they take, and still had enough ability to return fire?
(my guess - FMJ, with poor shot placment. Am I right?)

DAYBREAK DAILY: Big Ten newbee Maryland to open play against ACC, Virginia
ABC7 WEATHER: Mostly sunny with highs near 70. http://wj.la/72e8x6
'GOOD MORNING WASHINGTON': Among the reports – Continuing coverage of the flooding; Wizards, NBA investigating Twitter threats; much more, beginning at 4:30 a.m. M-F.
SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES: What's in a name?, per the Baltimore Sun, "The Maryland men's basketball team will host Virginia in next season's ACC-Big Ten Challenge, the Terps' first since switching conferences.
"After playing the last two years of the event on the road as a lame-duck ACC team, Maryland gets a home date against the longtime rival Cavaliers on Dec. 3. Maryland beat then-No. 5 Virginia in overtime, 75-69, in its final ACC regular season game at Comcast Center on March 9." http://bsun.md/1iFVYZ1
WELLNESS: Quite appealing, per the Richmond Times-Dispatch, "More than 216,000 Virginians have enrolled in health insurance plans on the new federal marketplace, more than twice as many as the government's initial target and more than doubling the number who had signed up through March 1.
"Since then, almost 113,000 people selected health plans in the marketplace in Virginia in the final month and a half of enrollment, including those who were in line for coverage when the sign-up period ended officially March 31, according to enrollment figures federal officials released Thursday." http://bit.ly/1miaLHm
SMART GUNS: Or not, per the Washington Post, "A Rockville gun store owner who said he would sell the nation's first smart gun — even after a California gun store removed the weapon from its shelves to placate angry gun-rights activists — backed down late Thursday night after enduring a day of protests and death threats.
"Andy Raymond, the co-owner of Engage Armament, a store known for its custom assault rifles, had said earlier this week that offering the Armatix iP1 handgun was a "really tough decision" after what happened to the Oak Tree Gun Club near Los Angeles. Oak Tree was lambasted by gun owners and National Rifle Association members who fear the new technology will be mandated and will encroach on Second Amendment rights.
"Electronic chips in the gun communicate with a watch that can be bought separately. The gun cannot be fired without the watch." http://wapo.st/1fUXkJI
MILITARY MEDS: Shop wisely, per the Virginian-Pilot, "Starting this spring, more than 400,000 military retirees and senior dependents in the Tricare for Life program will owe the full amount for certain prescription refills if they use a retail pharmacy rather than a military pharmacy or a mail service. The change, part of a pilot program created by Congress, is meant to help control the cost of military health care. In its first year, it is expected to cut $120 million from the $3.3 billion that the U.S. Department of Defense pays annually for Tricare For Life pharmacy needs." http://bit.ly/1kq64J4
DOG POOP: And DNA, per the Dallas Morning News, "Warning to dog owners who don't pick up what their pets leave behind: Your dastardly deeds may no longer go undetected. A growing number of North Texas apartment complexes are using DNA testing to trace pets and fine owners who ignore poop-scooping regulations.
". . .The results of the simple cheek swab will be kept in a database by a private lab. Any pet waste found on the property will be matched to its pooch. Owners face fines ranging from $200 to $350. The approach is being embraced by private dog parks, homeowner and condominium associations, RV parks and apartment complexes throughout the U.S. and Canada, according to PooPrints, a Tennessee-based company that has about 30 customers, mostly apartment complexes, in the Dallas area." http://bit.ly/1i4T8XQ
UKRAINE: The latest, per the New York Times, "As it tries to punish Moscow for its intervention in Ukraine, the White House asserts that the sanctions it has imposed have had a "significant impact" on Russia's economy, but their real effect so far, according to economic specialists, appears to be more psychological than tangible.
"White House officials have pointed to the fall of the Russian ruble and Moscow stock markets as evidence of the success they have had in pressuring the Kremlin. Yet the ruble and Russian markets fell before President Obama began imposing sanctions. Today, in fact, both the ruble and the markets are slightly stronger than they were before the first sanctions were announced." http://nyti.ms/1lG6Zcz
DONALD STERLING: Lots of talk, per the Los Angeles Times, "In an expected move, the 10 NBA owners on the advisory/finance committee unanimously agreed Thursday to "move forward as expeditiously as possible" to terminate Donald Sterling's ownership of the Clippers, according to a statement released by the NBA. The committee meets occasionally throughout the year and had scheduled a conference call to specifically address Sterling's ownership. The 10 owners agreed to talk again next week, though it was not known when the 30 owners would take an official vote to try to oust Sterling.
"Three-fourths of the owners -- 22 in this case -- would have to agree to terminate Sterling's ownership of the Clippers to begin the process of forcing the franchise's sale. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver expressed confidence Tuesday that he would have full support of the owners, and the 10-person committee's unanimous action Wednesday reinforced that notion." http://lat.ms/1lG7Dqs
BENGHAZI: Whatever, per The Hill, "Republicans are turning up the heat on the White House over the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, questioning whether the administration violated a congressional subpoena by withholding documents. GOP lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol have assailed the administration over emails obtained by Judicial Watch under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
"One of the emails details national security adviser Ben Rhodes's "goals" for the talk-show appearances of Susan Rice the weekend after the deadly assault in Libya. In the email, Rhodes said Rice should "underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy." Rice argued in series of Sunday show appearances that the violence in Benghazi appeared to have happened spontaneously following protests over an anti-Islam YouTube video. The administration later conceded that the Benghazi attack, which left four Americans dead, was preplanned." http://bit.ly/1kq7IKI
POLITICO PLAY: "Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday again went after the Obama administration on Benghazi, calling White House officials "scumbags" that "lied about" the September 2012 attacks.
"Our Democratic friends, for the most part, have been in the tank over Benghazi. They think it's to get me reelected," the South Carolina Republican said on The Mike Gallagher Show on Thursday morning. "Some guy said this about me yesterday on the left: The only reason I cared about this was because I have six tea party opponents. Well, if that's true, I'm the biggest scumbag in America. I don't think that's true. I know it's not true. It would be almost impossible for Lindsey Graham — given who I am and what I've been doing for the last 20 years — not to care about those in harm's way, who get killed, and not go on to hold the administration accountable that lied about it." http://politi.co/1iQgEg0
MARION: Dim the lights, per City Paper, "Heads up, Tinseltown: Ward 8 Councilmember Marion Barry is looking for someone to tell his story in celluloid. The mayor-for-life told LL earlier this week that he's in a race against time to get a film about his life made. Dedicated Barry watchers will remember that HBO Films is already working on a Barry biopic. Unhappy about how he thinks he'll be portrayed in the HBO movie, Barry says he wants someone else to release a film version more to his liking first.
"At one point I was trying to kill it," Barry says of the HBO movie. "But I'm going another route now, because I'm going to sell my movie rights in the next two or three months." Barry says he turned against the HBO project after having dinner with John Ridley, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave who was attached to the project with Spike Lee as the director. Barry says he was unhappy with how Ridley planned to portray his arrest at the Vista Hotel for smoking crack." http://bit.ly/1fxGAxM
LION MAN: Just the facts, per Gazette.Net, "A bank robber the FBI has nicknamed the "Lion Man" tried to rob a SunTrust Bank in Silver Spring on Thursday. Montgomery County police spokeswoman Janelle Smith said it is probably the same person who wore a Detroit Lions hat, dark sunglasses, and dark clothes to disguise himself in two other bank robberies in Montgomery County and an attempted robbery in Baltimore in April.
"Montgomery County police and the FBI are working together on the investigation, Smith said. At around noon on Thursday, a man dressed in a similar manner as in the other incidents went to a SunTrust inside a Safeway at 11261 New Hampshire Ave. and slid the teller a note. But he grabbed the note back and left the bank when the bank employee hesitated, Montgomery County police said in a news release." http://bit.ly/1rVNHBR
IMMIGRATION: And enforcement, per the Frederick News-Post, "A study of the Secure Communities immigration enforcement program has cast doubts on its effectiveness, doubts shared by the Frederick County sheriff and area immigrant rights advocates. After examining millions of deportation records since the start of Secure Communities, the report released last month by the Transactional Records Access Clearing House, a data analysis group, concluded that the program has not met its stated objective of removing serious criminals who are in the country illegally." http://bit.ly/1rVOxhQ
TAXI WARS: Or something like that, per ARLnow, "Nearly a hundred Arlington (Va.) taxi drivers crowded into the County Board offices Thursday afternoon, asking county policymakers to take action against UberX. UberX, which launched in D.C. last summer, is a smartphone app that connects users with drivers who use their personal vehicles to give on-demand rides. It presents itself as a "better, faster, cheaper" alternative to taxis.
"But in Arlington, taxi drivers and companies are becoming more vocal in their criticism of UberX. They say it's unregulated, dangerous and illegal. That, and it's hurting their bottom line. Red Top Cab, the largest taxi company in Arlington, told ARLnow.com that the number of trips it dispatches is down 5-10 percent compared to 2012 — a drop that it attributes in part to UberX and similar services, like Lyft. Drivers told us there are other signs that UberX is siphoning off riders: full taxi stand lines and some drivers defecting to Uber." http://bit.ly/1miPA88
TRENDING ON ABC7 FACEBOOK: "Approximately 638 suspected gang members have been arrested by ICE in Homeland Security's latest crackdown on street gangs called "Project Southbound."
