McKenzie And His MethodWritten on at , by Adam Wolf - The Physiotherapist
McKenzie Method
Persistent low back pain (CLBP from now on) remains a tough disorder to manage, one that holds a significant socioeconomic burden. There are a variety of non-surgical therapies for CLBP, which could overwhelm stakeholders such as patients, 3rd party payers, healthcare carriers, specialists, and policy producers. Although all included ought to pursue the most effective treatment that makes use of very little health care sources, there is commonly clinical uncertainty regarding which therapy is most proper for the specific client.
In order to much better comprehend the state of existing literature on non-surgical treatments for CLBP, the North American Spine Culture sponsored an unique focus problem of The Spinal column Journal. This evaluation of the McKenzie method was just one of the documents included in this problem. An executive summary of background information and important searchings for will certainly be presented in this evaluation.
General Description
The total objective of the McKenzie method is patient self-management, which includes three important stages:.
- Educating and demonstrating to patients the benefits of positions and end array movements on their signs, and the aggravating impacts of the contrary positions.
- Enlightening people in methods to preserve the reduction and elimination of their signs.
- Educating patients how you can reclaim full function of the lumbar spine without sign recurrence.
- McKenzie noted that the value of a solitary instructions of motion is regularly not noticeable unless repeated a number of times to end array (it must be noted that frequently the preliminary efforts in a certain instructions might improve symptoms).
- supplied that each instructions of lustrous activity is tested repeatedly and to end-range, a directional choice can typically be determined.
- a normal McKenzie analysis includes a complete case history and physical examination, consisting of assessment of response to duplicated lumbar motions.
Terminology/History of Robert McKenzie and his Method
- in 1958, the basis for the technique was found accidentally, when a person with leg signs unintentionally lay susceptible in an extensive position for concerning 10 mins, after which he reported to McKenzie that his leg had actually not felt as good for weeks.
- studies on the McKenzie method started in 1990, including lots of researches that have been done on the principle of centralization.
- the McKenzie method includes both an assessment and an intervention component (NOTE: generally as a whole practice and analysis, the term "McKenzie" is incorrectly applied when referring just to the application of extension physical exercises).
- the assessment part intends to classify the client into one of three disorders, and is commonly referred to as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT).
- the primary objective of the evaluation is to accomplish a pattern of discomfort feedback called "centralization".
- Centralization: refers to the sequential and enduring abolition of distal referred signs, and subsequent reduction/elimination of spinal ache in feedback to a solitary direction of duplicated movements or sustained postures.
- Directional Preference: describes a specific direction of lumbosacral movement or sustained position that reason signs to systematize, reduction, and even disappear while the person's spine activity concurrently returns to regular.
Using this information, people can be categorized in to among three mechanical syndromes suggested by McKenzie
Derangement Syndrome: has the distinct discomfort response of centralization with a directional choice.
Dysfunction Syndrome: found just in people with persistent signs, distinguisheded by intermittent pain created only at end assortment in a solitary direction limited motion. Unlike derangement, there is no rapid adjustment in signs or ROM as a result of carrying out repeated movements.
Postural Disorder: usually not seen in chronic LBP, is intermittent in nature, found in the midline and is produced by sustained slouch resting. Signs are generally eliminated by modification of sitting position (usually reconstruction of lumbar lordosis).
Proof Bordering the McKenzie Method and Centralization
- at the very least 6 studies have demonstrated that centralization is a favorable prognostic aspect for LBP (i.e. those that "streamline" with a specific movement or direction have good outcomes).
- as a matter of fact, a current methodical review1 on centralization ended that, when generated, centralization predicts a higher possibility of positive therapy end result when procedure is directed by analysis findings.
- 2 studies have actually shown that centralization is a more crucial prognostic indicator compared to fear-avoidance and work-related concerns.
- additionally, failing to change ache area on analysis (non-centralization) has actually been shown to be a poor prognostic indicator and a forecaster of poor behavioral response to spine discomfort.
- although somewhat apparent, in the literature there is some indicator that those patients with mechanical LBP that is affected by pose will react favorably to directional exercises.
- in many posted clinical guidelines, the interventional element of the McKenzie method has actually been stated, while the analysis element has actually been ignored.
- two step-by-step reviews2,3 on the McKenzie method have actually been carried out – both ending that there was limited proof relating to persistent LBP, however additionally suggesting that little benefits were noted against a selection of evaluation procedures.
- a 3rd systematic review4 on bodily therapy-directed physical exercise interventions after classification by symptom response procedures (featured combined period LBP patients), ended that workout carried out based on patient feedback was considerably better than control or comparison interventions (4/5 studies looked into McKenzie method, all scored 6+ on PEDro scale showing top quality).
- researches checking out the reliability of the McKenzie evaluation have actually generated mixed results – refresher courses are called for.
- there are numerous ongoing researches on the McKenzie method, featuring subgroup resolution in CLBP, clinical forecast guidelines, relative prognostic value studies, physiological researches, and therapy RCTs.
Administration According to McKenzie Disorder Classification
- Derangement Disorder, aim is to swiftly streamline and eliminate all signs while restoring typical lumbar motion.
- Dysfunction Syndrome, therapy is deliberately focused on reproducing the signs at end selection so that the brief, distressing property can be appropriately lengthened in order to recover and come to be pain-free over time.
- Slipped disc treatment.
- Sciatica treatment (read more at http://back2balance.ie)
- Postural Syndrome: education and learning is aimed at improving posture, which will remove excessive bodily tension from entailed cells and boost signs.
- it is important to note that each client needs customized workouts, and no universal prescribed of workouts will be sufficient.
- for a minority of patients, normally those with persistent LBP, completion array pressure they can generate will be insufficient to eliminate pain – in these instances, clinicians can supply hand-operated assistance/pressure to the motions, as well as proceed to spine manipulation/mobilization in the person's directional preference.
Conclusions & Practical Application
The McKenzie method definitely has a job to play in the general assessment and administration of reduced pain in the back, slipped disc treatment and sciatica treatment. It has the prospective to certainly labeled people into groups based on directional inclination, which have noticeably different therapy and self-management requirements. It is relatively easy, and simple in its technique. Considering the current emphasis in the literature on sub-grouping LBP clients in the context of a Clinical Forecast Policy (which does feature a classification for directional workout), research interest paid to the McKenzie method, MDT, and the centralization sensation ought to remain to increase. Such classification approaches could assist direct clinical decision manufacturing, and enhance procedure outcomes for LBP clients.

Irrational Games Developing X-COM Title?Irrational Games, developer of System Shock 2 as well as the upcoming BioShock (X360, PC), may be working on a successor to Microprose's PC tactical sci-fi classic X-COM: UFO Defense. Evidence suggesting the new game's existence comes by way of a resume found on the official website of law firm Fierst, Pucci & Kane, LLP. It was listed in the CV of firm partner Frederick U. Fierst, which states that among Fierst's clients are "Ken Levine and Jonathan Chey, founders of Irrational Games LLC." The current version of the document has had the pertinent reference removed, but a cached version of the document lists the following games as being credited to the Boston, Massachusetts- and Canberra, Australia-based developer (emphasis added):
System Shock 2, Tribes 3, SWAT, X-Com, BioShock, Freedom Force
Fierst, Pucci & Kane is no stranger to the video games industry, with clients including Shiny founder Dave Perry, The Behemoth, High Voltage Software, The Tetris Company, Paradox Interactive, and everybody's favorite copyright protection service, StarForce.
X-COM has spawned several sequels since the original game's release in late 1993, though the franchise has not seen a new entry since 2001's action spinoff X-COM: Enforcer. Studio head Ken Levine is known to be a diehard fan of X-COM. He has referred to the game as "sort of like my first love," and frequently mentions it as an example of strong design that stands the test of time. He has cited X-COM as the single greatest influence on Irrational's Freedom Force series as well as a more minor influence on the upcoming BioShock. Developer MicroProse was acquired in 1998 by Hasbro, and the development studio was closed soon after; in 2001, Atari (then Infogrames) acquired Hasbro. Coincidentally, original Microprose co-founder Sid Meier now heads up design at Firaxis Games, which is owned by Irrational Games parent 2K Games (in turn a label of Take-Two Interactive).
Levine declined to comment on Irrational's potential developments when contacted by Shacknews. At the moment this can be taken only as a rumor. Further inquiries have been sent to 2K Games and Irrational Games.
Update: Shacker baron calamity points out that Take-Two Interactive acquired the X-Com property in full from Atari in 2005, just a few months before Irrational Games was acquired by the publisher.

CityVille Growing at Breakneck SpeedFarmVille is the poster child of social gaming, but its little brother has already surpassed its success in record time. VentureBeat reports that the spin-off title CityVille has reached 100 million users in only 43 days.
FarmVille, by comparison, reached an all-time high of 83.76 million users in March of last year. However, FarmVille's 34.5 million daily active users beats CityVille's 18.5 million. Together, the two games help push Zygna's combined tally to almost 300 million monthly active users. Facebook currently stands at over 600 million users, which means roughly one in six have at least tried CityVille, and half are trying at least one Zynga game.
While the core audience may turn up their noses at social gaming, it's hard to argue with numbers. The 100 million strong player base of CityVille may not consider themselves gamers, but success like this means they're part of a trend that we'll see shaping the industry for years.

Comments On Jul 11, 2014:Seemed like a good tube and maybe they are and I just got a lemon, or I pinched it while mounting, but I got a pinch flat within my first 30 miles of desert riding. It was mounted with a brand new tire at 15 psi. I will not be buying these tubes again.

Comments On Jul 07, 2014:Great company
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 03, 2014:Like others here, I was originally impressed by the low price, and the thickness of these tubes. I had difficulty getting them installed, though, and both front and rear tubes ended up getting caught under the rim locks, resulting in premature flats. I never had this problem with Bridgestone UHD tubes. I am well over 50 years old, and have mounted hundreds of tires in my lifetime. I will not buy these again.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 08, 2014:I was shocked how heavy the box was when the tube arrived. When they say "extreme duty", it's true. Great product if you are planning to install and use immediately, but not the best if you plan to carry it on your bike as a spare. You would be lucky to get this thing into most frong fender bags designed for tubes.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 04, 2014:I am always extra careful installing tubes and ensure not to pinch them, I don't know if I got the lucky one with a bad spot but I installed it, filled good, was ready to ride. Work up the next morning to a flat tire. When I pulled the tube it had a major slit right down it, didn't look pinched at all. I wanted something that would hold up but it seems I have better luck with a standard tube than these things.

Funded by Senate Bill 1732
Initial Funding Year: FY 2007–2008
Current Status
3:14 transcript
The State of California's fiscal year 2007-2008 Budget Act included initial funding to replace the existing facility with a new courthouse in the City of Hollister.
The new building will be a two-story, 41,500-square-foot structure that includes space for three courtrooms, a jury assembly room, a centrally located public counter for civil and criminal issues, family court services, court administration, security operations, a holding area, and facility support space. The project includes surface parking for jurors and visitors, secured parking for judicial officers, and a secure sallyport for transportation of in-custody detainees. The Administrative Office of the Courts has acquired a 3-acre site northwest of the intersection of 4th Street and Monterey Street in Hollister for the new courthouse and associated parking.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance
The AOC is the lead agency for preparation of an environmental report to comply with CEQA.
March 25, 2009 to April 23, 2009: Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration circulated. The draft study evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project and recommended mitigation measures.
April 13, 2009: Public meeting held.
In response to public comments, the AOC completed a Final Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration.
On May 7, 2009, the AOC filed a Notice of Determination, thereby completing the CEQA process.

Completed. Construction began 4/12.
Why do we need a new courthouse?
Although considered modern when constructed in 1962, the existing courthouse does not meet current standards for judicial services. By current standards, the existing courthouse has several design flaws that pose significant security risks for the public, court staff, and justice partners as well as severely limits the Superior Court's ability to provide access or expand judicial services. In 2006, the Judicial Council of California adopted a statewide Trial Court Capital Outlay plan that ranked San Benito County in "immediate need" of a new courthouse.
What is the plan for the new courthouse?
This project will solve the current space shortfall, increase security, replace inadequate and obsolete buildings, and consolidate court operations currently located in three separate buildings. The new courthouse will become a one-stop location for public access to court services.
The new three-courtroom, 41,500 square-foot courthouse with a jury assembly room will be located in downtown Hollister, one block north of the existing courthouse on approximately 3.1 acres. This parcel was made available via the generous assistance of the Hollister Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors and the San Benito County Board of Supervisors.
Was renovation considered before the plan to build a new courthouse was decided on?
Since the county already owns the Civic Center Building, the state cannot obtain title. Owning the building would be necessary for the state to make needed improvements and bring all court services under one roof. For that reason, renovation was ruled out. Also, the Civic Center Building has other functional and efficiency problems which include:
Who is the AOC, and why are they managing this project? What is the Judicial Council?
The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) is the staff arm of the Judicial Council of California. The Judicial Council is the policymaking body for the California court system, including the trial courts, known as "Superior Courts," based in each county. Among other responsibilities, the AOC is responsible for planning, acquisition, design, renovation and construction of court facilities. The new courthouse will be owned by the judicial branch.
More information:
How has the local community had input regarding the courthouse project?
During the site selection and acquisition phase, local members of the Project Advisory Group (including members of the San Benito Superior Court, local government representatives and other justice partners) viewed and ranked prospective sites based on standard criteria. In addition, the California Environmental Quality Act process enabled the public to review and comment on the environmental report before it was finalized. Court leaders previewed the courthouse's design to the community at a special meeting.
What will happen to the current courthouse when the new courthouse is completed?
Once the Superior Court occupies the new courthouse, the Board of Supervisors for San Benito County will determine how the vacated court space will be utilized.

Who is the construction manager at risk on the project?
Kitchell is the construction manager at risk on the San Benito Courthouse project. In business for over 60 years, Kitchell is one of the top builders in the Western United States and 100 percent owned by its employees. The company has completed a diverse array of civic projects including the Mammoth Lakes Courthouse in Mono County. A recipient of numerous awards for their work, Kitchell was recently named General Contractor of the Year by the Arizona Department of Real Estate.
How was the contractor selected?
The AOC uses the CMAR method for delivery of major capital projects such as the new Lakeport courthouse. The competitive selection process factors in qualitative criteria, such as the firm's experience, as well as the contractor's fee. The CMAR is retained early in the project for preconstruction services. Following a competitive bid for all subcontracts and the approval to award, the CMAR becomes the general contractor for the project. For this competitive selection, the AOC received nine submissions and conducted interviews with five short-listed firms, from which Kitchell was selected.
What are the key milestones in building the courthouse?
When will the courthouse be completed and operational?
Construction began in April 2012; the courthouse is scheduled for completion in August 2013.
What are the AOC's policies with regard to local hiring and purchasing during design and construction? How did members of the public find out about those opportunities?
Once the AOC selected the construction manager at risk, that company became the general contractor on the project. It did an outreach to local subcontractors, ensuring that qualified local firms were fully aware of the bidding opportunity, process, and timeline. All qualified subcontractors, lower-tier subcontractors, and suppliers were considered.
What is the location of the new courthouse?
The new courthouse will be located in downtown Hollister, one block north of the existing courthouse on a parcel of approximately 3.1 acres. The property is bounded by Fourth, West, Third and Monterey Streets. This parcel was made available via the generous assistance of the Hollister Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors and the San Benito County Board of Supervisors.
What was the process used to select the site?
The AOC worked closely with the Superior Court and with the San Benito County Courthouse Project Advisory Group that included judges and court staff, and county government representatives and officials. The AOC followed a standard site selection policy and process. The process involved objectively evaluating potential sites and selecting at least two sites that met agreed-upon criteria for the proposed new courthouse in providing access to justice for this portion of San Benito County, within the confines of the project's budget and schedule. The Presiding Judge signed off on a preferred and alternate site, and the site selection was approved by the Administrative Director of the Courts (who heads the AOC) and the State Public Works Board.
The Project Advisory Group for the San Benito County Courthouse included:
Why does the AOC decide where the new court is built? Why isn't this a county decision?
Historically, trial courts functioned largely as county departments, but that changed in 2002, with passage of the Trial Court Facilities Act. This law made the State of California responsible for court facilities statewide, rather than the counties. The law gave the Judicial Council responsibility for facilities owned or occupied by the courts and made the AOC responsible for operations, maintenance, and repairs, as well as site acquisition, planning, design, and construction of capital projects that replace or renovate courthouses. The AOC works closely with each affected Superior Court and justice agency stakeholders throughout the process of replacing or renovating courthouses. By Rules of Court, the AOC involves the public primarily through the Project Advisory Group, although depending on the needs of the project, the AOC also seeks direct public input at various stages. County officials were closely involved in the siting process.
What environmental review was conducted on the site before it was developed?
The AOC is the lead agency for environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In April 2009, the AOC approved a mitigated negative declaration for the project. The mitigated negative declaration evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the project and identified appropriate mitigation measures. Some of the mitigation measures being applied during construction include watering disturbed earth to severely limit dust emissions and establishing protection zones around endangered wildlife and vegetation.
Will the new building be energy efficient?
Yes. The building has been designed with attention to sustainability. Energy-efficiency features include light emitting glass walls and advanced conservation methods in heating and cooling, artificial lighting, and plumbing. The building's sustainability features qualify it to receive LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
How is the new courthouse being funded?The courthouse is being funded without impact to the state's General Fund. The funds come from statewide increases in court user fees, authorized by the Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002. This bill approved the issuance of lease-revenue bonds to fund this project, to be repaid by court fees, penalties, and assessments. Bonds were sold for this project in fall 2011.
How did the state arrive at its budget for the project?
The AOC develops each project budget by first determining the building size, site size, and number of parking spaces. Then it provides this information to a professional cost estimating firm that creates a hard construction cost for the building and site work. To this, the AOC adds all project soft costs, which include all costs associated with evaluating, selecting, and acquiring a site, analysis required to comply with CEQA, the fee for the architecture and engineering team, geotechnical testing, project management and construction management fees, commissioning fees, and the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
How can the state afford a new courthouse at all, given current state finances?
The San Benito Courthouse was authorized under the Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002, which transferred responsibility for court facilities—their repair, renovation and construction—from counties to the state. To fund desperately needed renovations and repairs, penalty assessments and parking offense penalties were increased, and civil filing fee surcharges were created. This ensured a revenue stream to finance courthouse construction and renovations, promising these projects would be paid for from within the court system rather than drawing on the state's General Fund or local taxes. The state sold bonds for this project in November 2011. Once the courthouse is completed and occupied, the same revenue stream will repay those bonds over 35 years. This means that funds from other court jurisdictions will support San Benito's critical needs in years to come.
What is the impact of the state's current budget crisis on this project?
The recent cost-cutting initiatives on statewide court construction, including reassessment of 13 projects and budget trimming on 24 other projects, will not affect construction already underway on the new San Benito County Courthouse.
Who is the architect on the project?
The SmithGroup JJR is the architect for the new San Benito Courthouse. Founded in 1853, it is the oldest continuously practicing architecture and engineering firm in the U.S. The company serves a diverse clientele, including federal government agencies, colleges and universities, research institutions, and Fortune 500 corporations. The American Institute of Architects' Academy for Justice selected the architectural design for the San Benito Courthouse for one of its top awards.
How was the architect selected?
The AOC uses a competitive selection process, factoring in qualitative criteria, such as the firm's experience, as well as its fee. The architectural company is retained early in the project to begin preliminary drawings.
What are the key milestones in designing the courthouse?
Where can I see renderings of the new courthouse?
Renderings are posted on the project web page under the GALLERY tab.
Will the new courthouse be energy efficient and sustainably designed?
All courthouse projects are designed to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. This is a national standard for sustainable design. Energy efficiency is among its key criteria.

Yesterday, my DH called me at 5:10 PM wanting to know our dinner plans because his mom had called him and invited us to Red Lobster for dinner. They were in the process of getting ready to leave. I was cutting up red pepper to put in the spaghetti sauce that was already on the stove cooking. I was dressed in my lounge wear and it was raining outside. So I told him I was already cooking. I know he was hurt. Should I have made more of an effort to totally change plans and get me and DD ready to leave right then. Oh, DD had not had a nap so you know how she was.
Background info...we have a very structured schedule so I am always cooking at 5:00 and everyone in my circle knows this. My MIL doesn't make contact often so my DH would like the heavens to move to accommodate her.
What would you have done?

The employees of one valley call center are getting a bonus, and it isn't even the holidays. Consumer Cellular reached a milestone, and it decided to share the wealth with all of its employees.
The milestone for the cell phone company is they now have one million customers. So they decided to celebrate by doing something special with one million dollars.
"Very excited, I just found out this morning," says Everett Pickett.
Employees found out that the call center they work for in Phoenix has reached a major milestone -- one million customers. What's more is it's sharing the wealth with all of its employees.
"Our employees are the ones that made us grow, it wasn't the executive team, so they're the ones talking to the customers every day," says Greg Pryor, Consumer Cellular.
Consumer Cellular is taking $1 million. $500,000 will go to charities, the other $500,000 will be split among its 750 employees in Portland and Phoenix.
"I'm going to pay bills, a lot of them," says Pickett.
Maybe you've seen their commercials. Consumer Cellular is a cell phone company geared towards the older cell phone user. This center is where they call for help or service questions.
For most employees, the money will equal an extra paycheck. They too wish more companies would take up this practice.
"You would think all the companies would do something like that. It makes the employees feel more valuable, more like family other than just a number. Everyone should take this and learn from it absolutely," says Pickett.
Details about this company -- they are strictly an in-bound center answering calls from customers. Starting pay is $12.25 an hour. Pay can go up by a dollar in 9 months.
Employees tell me Consumer Cellular is a progressive company that offers many perks.

Just like the weather, stories about the prospects of a new long term farm bill seem to be changing daily.Take this week as a prime example. On Tuesday we hear that even though the Senate is still on vacation, the Ranking Republican Member and the Senate Ag Committee Chairperson have come to meet with their house counterparts to see if they can knock off at least the framework for a new long term farm bill. Then a day later, more optimism when Conference Committee Chair Frank Lucas says no deal is done, but great progress is being made and left alone, they would soon have a bill. Then a day later all that optimism is snuffed out when Speaker Boehner says he's heard nothing of any significant progress and says he is going to recess the House on time and that he will push for a one month extension of the 2008 farm bill. And if the conferees can get it done the House would address a new farm bill in January.
One thing though, any extension would have to be also approved by the Senate and their leadership has voiced strong opposition to an extension. Although perhaps they would agree to a one month extension just to avoid the possibility of letting the current farm bill expire and once again be faced with the so-called dairy cliff of soaring consumer milk prices.
Meanwhile Lucas and the Conferees seem willing to work through the holiday break to get a bill done that they can send on to the two houses early in January. Stay tuned for the next chapter of this saga.

I recently watched the Oscar winning documentary Undefeated. Spoiler alert, I loved it!
It's about an underdog and quite frankly, underprivileged, high school football team in Memphis, Tennessee. The Manassas Tiger's have been a bad team and an even worse program for much of their football history. Then in 2004, Bill Courtney enters the program and turns it around. Not only is he the coach, but he serves as the father figure in many of his athletes lives (at the expense of his own children at times). He doesn't just want these kids to win on the field, he wants them to believe in themselves and ultimately win at life. Sounds cheesy, right? Well if you aren't moved by the journey, I fear you might be dead inside. Speaking of being moved, the final 20 minutes of the movie had me either straight up crying or softly sobbing. At the same time, I was smiling from ear to ear. Judge me all you want, I can take it.
The great thing about the documentary is that yes, it's about football on the surface, but it's underlying themes and messages are universal. You don't have to be a football fan to be a huge fan of Undefeated.

text:
The snow peas are starting to produce, the cauliflower is growing larger, onions and garlic have sprouted and the chives are starting to come back. Most of my fruit trees have swelling buds now, and poppies and cosmos are starting to come up around the pansies and violas.
It sounds positive, doesn't it?
But when I look outside, all that is green isn't good. I have weeds growing everywhere.
Some are grasses in the wrong place, some have stickers already, some have long taproots and some are just spreading everywhere. I need to get rid of them before they bloom and send out a host of seeds to renew their claim on my garden and yard next year.
Pulling all of the weeds feels impossible right now, so I'm researching pesticides today.
If you are struggling with the bounty of spring weeds, you might want to check the University of California Integrated Pest Management website: www.ipm.ucdavis.edu. The site has current information on all kinds of weeds, as well as information on pesticides.
The other pest that is entertaining my dogs but causing trouble in my yard is one or more moles.
The critters are so flagrant, they've made several tunnels under the lawn, with escape holes in a lot of different places.
My garden, at least, remains safe from them, because I have raised beds lined with chicken wire, which keeps them out.
I have been putting fresh garlic into their holes, which seems to be working right now.
The UC website also addresses moles and other pests that might be a problem for you.
