Dollar spot
When the morning dew is still on the lawn, you'll notice spots of grass that look like cotton candy or like a white spider web in a localized area. That web-like, cottony stuff you're seeing is actually the fungus, called mycelium. Dollar spot can also look like straw-colored spots (the size of a silver dollar).
Red Thread
Spots found in lawns that are brown with a reddish-pink tinge may be red thread disease. Red thread is generally an indication of low nitrogen levels in lawns. It is found when temperatures are between 50°-75° and humidity is high. When red thread attacks a lawn it is time to fertilize. More than likely this disease will not kill a lawn but it will make the lawn look bad. Irregular shaped patches of red thread can reach up to twenty-four inches in diameter.
Leaf Spot
The causal fungi usually first invade the leaves, producing small brown spots. As the disease worsens, the spots on leaf blades expand and produce a dark purplish-red oval border around a tan center. The spots enlarge until the entire width of the leaf blade is blighted. The leaf-spotting or leaf-blighting phase is less damaging to the turf grass than is the melting-out (crown and root-rot) phase of the diseases. In melting-out, the crowns and roots are damaged, causing severe thinning of the turf.
Green Side Up offers a preventative AND post application Disease Control Program to handle your lawn's fungicide needs to help aid in lawn disease control. We look to provide you with the most personalized information pertaining to your lawn possible during each visit to your property. If any of our technicians notice this disease (fungus) activity on your lawn, we will be sure to make your aware of its presence, and any actions that need to be taken to resolve this issue, or any others.
What Causes Lawn Disease
Lawn disease in turf grasses, as in other plants, develops from an interaction among a susceptible plant, a disease-producing organism (pathogen), and an environment favorable for disease development. Susceptible grasses and pathogens (usually fungi) are present in all lawns. In most cases, the pathogens exist in a dormant or saprophytic (feeding on dead or decaying substances) state and do not attack living plants. Diseases occur when environmental conditions (weather, management, and/or site conditions) become favorable for the build up of pathogen populations and/or cause an increase in the susceptibility of the plant. When this happens, turf grass loss can occur. It is crucial that treatments be applied to prevent further damage.
There are a group of turf grass diseases for nearly every environmental condition that may arise. Some diseases develop during the frigid months of winter under a blanket of snow, whereas others occur only during the hottest and most humid conditions of summer. Some diseases appear more frequently in wet soils and following applications of high rates of fertilizer, while others are triggered by drought and low fertility.
Brown Patch
Brown patch appears as circular patches, ranging from a few inches to several feet in diameter. The infected leaves first appear water soaked and dark, eventually drying, withering, and turning dark brown. A dark smoke ring often surrounds the outer margins of the diseased area when humidity is high and disease is actively growing. Leaves in the blighted area are usually killed, and the disease can rapidly kill large areas of turfgrass in short periods of time under conducive conditions.
Summer Patch
The symptoms of summer patch appear in circular patches or rings, ranging from 6 inches to 3 feet in diameter. Turf within these patches is initially off-colored, prone to wilt, growing poorly, or sunken in the turf stand. Over a period of one to two weeks, the turf continues to decline, turning yellow or straw brown and eventually collapsing to the soil surface. The outer edges of the patch are usually orange or bronze when the disease is actively developing. Affected plants are easily pulled up from the turf, and visual examination reveals that the roots, crowns, and rhizomes are black and rotten. The patches recur in the same spot annually, and expand at a rate of 2 to 4 inches per year. Resistant grasses, such as creeping bentgrass, fescues, or weedy species, are often present in areas damaged by summer patch.
Mushroom appearance often causes people to be concerned about the health of their lawn and whether or not a serious disease might be getting started. It's important to remember that mushrooms are the 'fruiting bodies' of fungi living in the soil and thatch. They are responsible for the production of microscopic spores that in turn help propagate the fungus. The vast majority of those fungi are not associated with any lawn disease causing organisms. It's quite common for them to appear during periods of moist conditions resulting from either natural rainfall or excessive irrigation. The fungi are living on decaying organic matter in the soil and/or thatch layers. If you find the mushrooms offensive, simply knock them over with a rake and remove them from the area.

Paying Our Politicians Hunger Wages
You definitely cannot afford to live on what Venezuelan politicians earn.
How much would you guess a member of Venezuela's National Assembly makes?
Go ahead, guess.
Had a guess? Here's the number – forty thousand bolivares per month. Yes, really. A suplente (stand-in) Assembly member earns BsF 1,500 per session. That's about half the cost of a carton of eggs – less than what a typical taxi ride costs in Caracas.
This makes Venezuelan lawmakers among the worst paid in the region.
These are the men and women who we trust to draft and revise the social contract in which we will operate as a society.
It's bad enough if you're from Caracas. But of course most Assembly members represent other parts of the country.
The outgoing National Assembly had the benefit of being able to use downtown hotel Alba Caracas (formerly Hilton) when they came for the sessions. That benefit is no longer. This of course is no surprise given that Alba Caracas is run by no other than Cabello's wife. So now Assembly members travelling to Caracas must search for their own place to stay on their own dime.
This is a detail we tend to gloss over when we consider the performance of our Assembly members. These aren't just poverty wages, they're hunger wages.
In practice, what this means is that anyone pursuing a political career must either be independently wealthy or, worse, rely on an "sponsor": selling services and trafficking influence. You can have your politicians privileged, corrupt, or hungry: your pick.
Is it any wonder so many National Assembly members spend half their time positioning themselves to run for governor or mayor somewhere? Executive posts like those at least get a budget to play with. The Assembly? No joda…
What kind of social contract will be created if only cronies or the very wealthy are those creating it? If we are to have a legislative body that is able to truly represent the values of the Venezuelans, one free of conflicts of interest and sleaze, you have to pay them. Isn't that obvious?

Dear Lovely Peeps of tut Bloggus-Sphere!
I need to make a quick apology to all you sweet and kind people, who have left comments on various posts over the last few weeks
What can I say except – I need an admin related boot up the ass 🙂
I started replying to comments in reverse order, and then I switched tactics and began with the newest one's, and somewhere along the line, my replies appeared everywhere…all dotted in between yours, and I kinda lost the plot!
Sooooo….I just wanted to say THANK-YOU muchly. I really appreciate your thoughts on my spillages. They have picked me up when I was down, encouraged me to spill when I was dry, warmed my cockles; made me all mooshy at points…humbled me and surprised me too. Sorry that by the time I reply, you may well have forgotten ever leaving a little note in the first place :0
I'm getting on it, pronto-ish! 😉
Yours Truly
Grateful Blogger/Admin Abomination

by EVELYN WALLACE
This fictionalized true story in which the names and places have been changed, focuses on racism in a mid-American small town in the early twentieth century.
A former slave homesteads property on the Minnesota River and with his white wife raises a family without incident.
When a heinous murder is committed and his sons are put on trial, the true prejudices of the people involved and the length to which they would go to keep their society lily-white surfaced.
The author delves into the souls of those people associated with the condemnation of an innocent man. This provocative account of the administration of justice involves the reader as he associates with the characters' difficulties in dealing with the test of integrity.

How to Add a Call to Action to Your Post
You might have written your best post ever — but without a call to action, it's not going to get you the results you're hoping for.
A "call to action" is a copywriting term. It simply means asking or telling the reader to take a specific action. That might be:
- Subscribing to your blog or newsletter
- Buying your ebook
- Sharing the post on Twitter or Facebook
- Downloading a free report
- Trying out a particular technique or idea
… or almost anything that will benefit you and/or the reader.
Your call to action should be clear and specific. Don't simply link to a post and assume that readers will get the message: tell them "click here to read…" or "find out more by clicking this link" or similar. If you're asking for comments, give them a specific question to think about.
There are two places to put your calls to action:
#1: At the End of Your Post
The final line of your post is a natural and effective place for a call to action: you're helping the reader decide what to do next. It's crucial you don't leave this to chance. After reading a post, the reader has lots of options open — including leaving your site altogether.
Some great closing lines are:
- What do you think about [topic]? Let us know in the comments below.
- If you enjoyed this post, please share it on Twitter by clicking on the "Tweet" button to the right.
- To find out more about this, read [link to another post on your blog]
#2: Throughout Your Post
You don't just have to put calls to action at the end of your post. By including them earlier, you prime readers to take action, and get them thinking.
For instance:
- To introduce a list post: See what you think of these ten ideas (and add your own in the comments).
- To sell an ebook: I've just launched my new ebook, [title of ebook]. I'll be saying a few words about that at the end of this post, but if you want to find out all about it now, you can click on this link [link to sales page].
Now, it's your turn. Think about your blogging goals (e.g. growing your subscriber base or your newsletter list) and come up with a call to action for your next post.

This is a very good article about an important subject. Most people forget to ask their readers to do something!
I prefer the call to action at the end of the article, I believe it's more effective that way.
Thanks for a great post!
Hi Ali,
I'm having problem with getting comment on recent post and I hope it'll help to improve my problem by using the above.
Craig S. Kiessling
This article was exactly what I have been looking for! I'm going to take some time and cruise around some of the most popular blogs in various topics and see how they're doing it as well.
Oh, and I just have to say, Radion's "long time listener first time caller" comment was awesome! 🙂
Ali Luke
Thanks everyone!
@Leif — Glad you're enjoying my posts; thank you! 🙂
@Jamie — Yes, I find the same thing with comments. I'm lucky with my blog that most of my audience comment because they have something to add, but I do agree with you that there's often a tendency for people to comment just for backlinks.
@Warren — You're not tricking people: if they don't want to click the link, the won't! Perhaps a good way to look at it is that you're helping them by giving them a valuable resource or a next step.
I always feel bad putting a call to action at the end of a Blog post. Seems to me like I'm blatantly tricking people. They read and they they use MY link to do whatever I want them to do. I know this is the only way to get it done but I wish more subtle ways would work.
Call to action is a great turn of phrase, though for online I find that a "provocation to respond" to be a more descriptive term. Sometimes stating something that you know your readers will find contreversial or even annoying works great for prying a response.from an otherwise quet audience (everybody is a 'long time listener first time caller.')
Jamie Northrup
I've noticed when I put a call to action at the end, the comments usually answer that question. Most people these days comment for the backlinks, and don't read the whole article, so they usually end up leaving better comments when the call to action asks them for something specific.
Great tips! I like the point about being clear and precise.
In some case i put "call to action" At end of the article. Its help reader in deep knowlegde about particular topic.
Leif G.S. Notae
Yes, I keep trying to do these, but since I am not a natural at it I tend to forget. This is another timely piece for me to read and I am glad you put it up here today Ali. Thanks for sharing this with us, fantastic job as always!
I always put the "call to action" at the end of the post and it's most converting & effective place. I usually put a newsletter or subscription option in the end of the posts and it works pretty well.
Great Post, Ali.

Spring can be pretty gross. Receding snow piles revealing a winter's bounty of trash, slushy slurry caking your boots. Not so at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, where warmer temps mean the return of piping-hot seafood delights from Sea Salt. The po' boys, the tacos, the oysters, the beer, the ice cream—they all scream summer in the city. By the time our Best Of issue hits racks, Sea Salt will have already reopened, serving up top-notch treats from the deep in an idyllic location for seven glorious months before returning to hibernation.

Stay on Top of Enterprise Technology Trends
Get updates impacting your industry from our GigaOm Research Community
We're here at the Microsoft (s MSFT) Silverlight launch in San Francisco. Silverlight 3 was supposed to go out today, but it was released last night — "a small mistake that somebody made and we decided to let it go," says S. "Soma" Somasegar, VP in the Microsoft Developer Division.
Now Scott Guthrie, also VP in the Microsoft Developer Division, is laying out what's new in Silverlight 3 (nothing you haven't heard before, if you've been paying close attention):
- Live and on-demand 1080p smooth streaming over standard HTTP
- Adding PVR support with live video
- Instant seek behavior
Guthrie lays out some lessons from recent/ongoing implementations: The Michael Jackson funeral saw 4-5x time spent, almost an hour spent, with smooth streaming. Tour de France now with interactive experience. 3Mb HD smooth streaming for Wimbledon with interactive experience. When we're streaming live we can take advantage of edge-caching around the world. Dramatically lower TCO and far fewer servers. Wimbledon was done with only two web servers total.
Eric Black NBCSports.com: NBC Sports is committed to Silverlight for all of our events. Diving into Wimbledon: 35 hours of simulcast HD coverage, also ancillary content online. Looking forward to Vancouver Olympics: DVR, slow-motion replay. It's stuff that we can't show on-air that we have bandwidth to show online. We have used a lot of different products, we have developed on a lot of different products. We look for best-in-class solutions, and Silverlight has proven to be a best-in-class solution.
Back to Guthrie: We want you to build even more immersive experiences, so we're enabling these new features in Silverlight 3:
- Hardware acceleration
- Pixel shaders
- Deep zoom
- Photosynth
Another testimonial: Thomas Hughes, the VP worldwide digital media at MGM. Introducing a new show: StarGate Universe — iteration of long-running StarGate franchise. Shot pictures of set of new ship for the show explicitly for building a massive Photosynth in Silverlight — users can see tremendous detail, looks almost like artists' renderings. "We can go in and see excruciating detail." 5-second ad for MGM products when switching between things. Launched two days ago and within 24 hours fans had already translated random art department scribblings only visible with a serious amount of zoom.
Guthrie again on the out-of-browser experience. Silverlight 3 enables use whether offline or connected.
Another customer on stage: Sonjoy Ganguly, VP product management at Accenture. Built Business TV app on Silverlight. They've time-coded videos, enabled deep zoom. Using exact same codebase, we can provide the experience as an app outside of the browser with rich interactive experience and analytics reported back to publisher. Only difference is no deep zoom offline.
Guthrie: Business applications — Silverlight supports .NET, rich networking, data binding, systems integration, rapid development.
Another customer demo: Aaron Hynes from Continental. We have a long focus on customer relations. User experience for call center reservations rebuilt in Silverlight. Can handle low-bandwidth situations, and is deployed out-of-browser as well.
Intro to new Expression 3 features. Not live-blogging this part.
Somasegar again: 400,000 Silverlight developers today, growing rapidly, 300 partners. Claims it is the fastest-growing plug-in "in the history of mankind." His pitch: This is "the complete platform."

Family loses dogs, possessions in Malvern house fire
Fire officials say the home is a total loss
A Malvern family lost everything in a weekend house fire, fire officials say.
The blaze, which started around 11:30 p.m. Friday, burned all night and into the morning according to Malvern Fire Dept. Chief Dwain Pelzer.
Pelzer says the house, located at 98 Main Street, was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived. Firefighters finally extinguished the fire around 4:30 Saturday afternoon.
The family was not home at the time, but two dogs trapped inside did not make it out alive. Fire officials say the house is a total loss.
Neighbors say the man who lived there with his son also grew up in that home.
Volunteer fire departments from Hastings and Emerson assisted in the firefighting efforts.
The Iowa State Fire Marshal is investigating the cause, which is still unknown.
If you'd like to help the family, visit their GoFundMe page here.

Today the question of perennials in the garden hinges on what variety of a perennial does one include. Should it be native or exotic?
In the nineteenth century the issue of perennials in the garden played like a pingpong ball.
Sometimes the practice was encouraged, and other times deemed not important.
Philadelphia nurseryman Thomas Meehan wrote in his magazine Gardener's Monthly in March of 1883:
"As to hardy herbaceous plants being recommended for general cultivation, I think that day is past. There seems to be a craving in human nature for that which we have not. Rarities, new forms and colors and exotics are more appreciated than those hardy things. But all are good in their place."
The lily of the valley, a popular nineteenth century shade perennial, was included in the Moffatt-Ladd garden of the 1880s in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Alexander H. Ladd (1815-1900) recorded so in his garden journal, discovered only a few years ago.
He thought perennials formed an essential part of the garden. The fact that plants like the lily of the valley were not native did not bother him.
Nineteenth century gardeners like American gardeners today just looked for new plants, and often chose annuals rather than the faithful perennial.

Agnieszka Radwanska is the most prominent face of Lotto, but since the Pole retired in November 2018, this is unfortunately the last time I'm doing a Lotto Fashion Retrospection with her as the representative. The final year of the 29-year-old's career saw her play only 14 tournaments and in terms of fashion it was a predominantly calm season.
At the first five tournaments in 2018, including the Australian Open, Radwanska wore the Lotto Spring Nixia Dress in green thai.
The racerback dress with ruffled hem is made of soft jacquard fabric that features a mountain geometrical pattern.
In Indian Wells, Miami and Istanbul, Aga sported the fluo pink version of the Lotto Spring Nixia Dress.

- 2012: Aga working Lotto in her Top 5 debut season
Radwanska didn't play Roland Garros, but she had a dress ready for the Grand Slam — the Lotto Batik Dress that I presented in more detail here.
This black and white butterfly print Aga wore only at one tournament, during her semifinal run at Eastbourne. It's from the Twice II collection and it very much resembles the colorful Lotto Spring Twice Dress from 2016.
We got more from the Lotto Nixia Dress at Wimbledon. It's definitely the company's most dominant silhouette of 2018 and it looks very similar to Lotto's basic designs from previous years.
You must have noticed that Lotto oscillates between simple, single-colored feminine looks and bold, shiny, busy, disco-style dresses. One such extravagant dress in 2018 was the Lotto Fall Space Dress that we saw in Cincinnati and New Haven.
The last dress in Agnieszka's career is the Lotto Barre Dress from the Lotto Barre Flash collection launched at the US Open.
Diagonal stripes are dominated by color called pink neon candy. The skirt boasts elongated back hem with elegant ruffles.
This time I'll go for the cleanest design, my favorite 2018 Lotto dress is the white Wimbledon one. What are your favorites? Are you maybe more for the disco print? Tell me in the comments.

Though not all companies take the charitable route, a cause marketing strategy has favored many brands, and has the potential to improve the reputation of your brand. These campaigns can be quite expensive, however, so what are the advantages of adopting this strategy?
Consumer perception. This is perhaps the most apparent advantage of cause marketing. Aligning a brand with a worthy cause can do wonders for a company's image, but only when the campaign is executed with great caution and tact. One of the most important aspects of choosing a cause is ensuring that the tie between a brand and a cause is clear. The AT&T 'No Text on Board' campaign is a great example of this, and capitalized on the buzz around the dangers of distracted driving. The company encouraged its customers to take a pledge against texting and driving, and even released an app that would make it easier to avoid being distracted behind the wheel. The video associated with the campaign was tasteful but effective, and clearly illustrated the tie between the brand and the cause.
The viral factor. The fact that many consumers are prompted to share and take part in charitable efforts gives cause marketing a huge edge over traditional advertising. When social media is appropriated as part of one of these campaigns, the message can spread like wildfire, particularly if a brand offers to donate a certain amount to charity with each re-share. Unilever led an unbelievably social media savvy campaign, wherein participants of the campaign were featured on the brand's Facebook cover photo in exchange for their efforts. Motivating people to be involved and making the campaign more public at the same time, the eco-conscious initiative was a success.
Innovation can be put on display. Because of the potentially huge reach of these campaigns, a cause marketing strategy is the perfect effort for a brand to show of its innovative side. The Volkswagen 'Don't Make Up and Drive' campaign is a great example of this, and quickly went viral as a result. Instead of taking a straightforward approach to getting the distracted driving message across, Volkswagen premiered a YouTube video that looked like many other makeup tutorials on the site, but was really a PSA. Shocking but effective, the campaign went far as a result of how incredibly clever the company was about addressing an important issue. When it comes to these campaigns, be sure to put innovation at the forefront of your creative approach to make the most of a cause marketing initiative.
Many brands can benefit from participating and taking part in a campaign related to a cause, but going about it can be tricky. Trend Hunter's Marketing Trend Report has insight into how brands are capitalizing off of innovative marketing, strategies.

As a huge fan of Gordon Brown's book 'Sea Kayak – a Manual for Intermediate & Advanced Sea Kayakers' (which I reviewed in January) I am really excited by a project to create instructional DVDs to compliment the book. The DVD's have been planned over the last two years and the first DVD will feature Gordon 'coaching' the viewer over the course of a multi-day expedition in conditions ranging from calm to rough water.
The DVD's are being filmed by former BBC journalist Simon Willis (of Scottish Sea Kayak Trail and Sea Kayak Podcasts fame) who will be showing some of the footage shot to date as part of his keynote presentation at the Scottish Sea Kayak Symposium.
I have been lucky enough to have been aware of the project for a while and seen some of the 'raw' footage which is superb. Gordon has a relaxed and enthusiastic style and his wealth of experience is evident. I learnt a huge amount just from the small amount film I have seen and as a more visual learner, I'm really excited about having access to a resource like this to help me develop my own paddling technique and in particular having access to coaching from someone with the credentials and experience of Gordon.
I will keep you updated on the projects progress, it's also worth keeping an eye on Simon's blog for further information.

Skip to comments.US Attorney Durham 'very dialed in' as he launches Russia probe review, met with Barr 'multiple
Posted on 06/07/2019 10:11:22 AM PDT by bitt
The Connecticut U.S. attorney assigned by Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate the origins of the Russia probe is very dialed in and asking all the right questions, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
Separately, sources within the Justice Department confirmed to Fox News that Barr has met on multiple occasions in recent weeks with Durham, who was in Washington, D.C., this month.
Fox News has learned that Durham has been getting briefed on the four corners of the investigations into the FBI's use of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, among other issues. Barr appointed Durham, 68, last month.
News of Durham's high level of engagement in the probe comes days after Barr said he has not received answers from the intelligence community that were "at all satisfactory" in the early stages of his review into the origins of the Russia investigation.
"In fact probably have more questions, and some of the facts that I've learned don't hang together with the official explanations of what happened," Barr told CBS News in an interview.
Durham is specifically reviewing the FISA warrant obtained by the FBI to surveil former Trump aide Carter Page, as well as general issues relating to surveillance during the 2016 campaign and matters flowing from the FISA process. Fox News is told Durham would handle the prosecution of any criminal action he might uncover.
During the CBS interview, Barr revealed Durham picked up the FISA and surveillance components from Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber, whose work was put on hold pending DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's findings from his ongoing review. Huber, Barr said, was essentially on standby in case Horowitz referred a matter to him to be handled criminally.
Horowitz's investigation is expected to be completed shortly.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
But Session's job in the Obstruction of Injustice Sting, may have also been to create a frustrated Trump. That might push Trump to over reach.
Its not whining. Its a fact.
Exactly how many pages of declassified FISA docs have we seen thus far? The answer is zero. In fact, not even one sentence. What that says is that the cabal and their foreign conspirators have been quite successful in stonewalling the investigations and preventing the release of evidence. They are good at this and they will INSIST that, even in the face of hard evidence, whatever they did was in the country's interest and that exposing their wrongdoing will compromise our security and endanger the country. The media will fully back them up.
Barr seems to be more concerned about the weaknesses in the process that allowed this abuse to happen. I think his reports will focus on that, not on prosecuting those who committed egregious crimes. He know that will take forever to do. And in Washington nobody is ever held accountable for anything.
I don't think Durham would involve himself in his task if he wouldn't be allowed to prosecute; and, Barr would not have selected Durham to take over the investigation and prosecution if Barr didn't want prosecutions.
I can't disagree with you on that point. I don't have enough information to know one way or another. I have heard Sessions, and others say something along the lines we have to let Mueller play out. In general i don't like it but it had to be done.
Sessions strikes me as a middle of the road, dont tip the boat kinda guy. He probably gave both sides what they wanted.
Since it's from Catherine Herridge, I'm optimistic that it's true.
Yep - and the irony is they have no clue that they are actually of a "Brown Shirt" mind when they whine....
Sessions is a crook
Easy stuff to unravel. UNMASKING is the key, and I would be money on it.
The Lie That Will Not Die and the Truth about Black Mass Shooters

Agreed brother/sister. Im afraid the aXX-kicker is tied to Spygate/NSA unmasking, which probably involved our allies as cut-outs to circumvent US laws on citizen spying. Ever wonder why only a few house GOP members are enraged at spying on Trump? Why the frick did McConnell even let it get this far? Why not a helluva lot more GOP senators enraged? Might as well assume a significant number of house reps and GOP senators have been blackmailed (we lost the house)
WTF? We know the media has been spied on, therefore BLACKMAILED. Why not spy on a helluva lot more Fortune 500 companies.
If the Judiciary has been spied on and BLACKMAILED, THERE GOES OUR LAST SAFEGUARD!
Heres the death knell. IF, IF, IF, the major US banks have been compromised, i.e. Chase, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, thats it. Were done

Joel Marion's Xtreme Fat Loss Diet 2.0
Xtreme Fat Loss Diet 2.0; Losing weight is such a challenge to most people. Numerous techniques have been tried but none has been well embraced like Joel Marion's Xtreme Fat Loss Diet 2.0
Losing weight is such a challenge to most people. Numerous techniques have been tried but none has been well embraced like Joel Marion's Xtreme Fat Loss Diet 2.0, which is set to be released soon. With the success of his first release being widely accepted with astounding results, the second release has been speculated to be even better.
The basic principle behind these techniques is to cheat the body into consuming the stored fats. However, starving the body or working out for long hours do not have the same effect. In fact the body tries to conserve the remaining fat reserves to maintain itself. Understand that your body does not care whether you want a flat stomach or a six-pack; it only cares for its well-being meaning ample food reserves.
Joel Marion came-up with a concept whereby every five days or so a person on diet can indulge in his/her favorite junk foods. This is because every five days or so the body's produces a hormone called leptin which slows the body's metabolism down. By eating the junk, you are replenishing the body with lots of starch hence cheating it that there is still plenty of energy and it ends up using the reserve fats. The cheat meal helps to increase insulin levels in order to raise leptin release and in so doing it increases metabolism.
The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet 2.0 release warns that for the cheat meal to work effectively, it must be planned as the last meal of the day. This means that if you start your day by taking the cheat meal chances are that you will start to have cravings throughout the day. This will have a negative effect in your daily diet routine. It is advisable to each the cheat meal after taking the last meat for the day, only then do you indulge yourself to the fullest. Many people have been using this technique while dieting and the results are impressive.
Joel Marion's Xtreme Fat Loss Diet 2.0 will surely give hope to many people struggling with weight loss problems. The myth about weight loss is uncovered in this edition. Furthermore, the effect brought about by this weight loss technique is admirable. It helps people to stick to their diets during the week anticipating the cheat meal as the trophy for their week's efforts. However, do not forget to stick to your diet and work-out for this technique to be very effective.

Aluminum Extrusions Manufacturer in California
Few metals can surpass the strength, durability and flexibility of aluminum. Second only to copper in conductivity, it conducts heat well, resists oxidation, corrosion and rust, is non-sparking and non-magnetic. Some alloys are nearly as strong as medium-grade steel, but lighter in weight and less expensive. When looking for an aluminum extrusions manufacturer in California to take advantage of this remarkable metal in your products, consider Hydro Extrusion.
We operate 20+ locations and more than 60 extrusion presses across North America, including our facility in City of Industry, CA, and offer the industry's broadest product capabilities in press sizes and tonnages (direct and indirect extrusion), alloy selection, circle sizes, profile types and "green" billet. From beer cans to spaceship parts, aluminum can be extruded into a myriad of profiles for use in virtually every industry, including:
Automobiles & Trucks:
Aluminum is second only to steel as the most-utilized material in cars and trucks, and its use is growing. It is corrosion-resistant, durable, and can absorb twice the energy of steel at the same weight. Body panels can be thicker but lighter than steel, and provide better dent resistance.
Aluminum is also highly recyclable, environmentally friendly, and the safest, cost-effective way to increase vehicle performance, boost fuel economy and reduce emissions. Ford's new all-aluminum-body F-150 pickup truck is the latest example of the shift from steel to aluminum in the auto industry.
Building & Construction:
Aluminum extrusions are used in window and door frames, wall panels, roofing, fences, for braided coaxial cable and wire housings. electrical fittings, couplings and valves, oil and gas drilling tubing and fittings, wide-span roof structures for bridge decks and arenas, heat exchangers, air coolers, heat-sinks, water, air and hydraulic piping and tubing, and many other applications. Aluminum will become a critical building material in the rebuilding of thousands of concrete and steel-reinforced bridge decks around the world.
Consumer Products:
Extruded profiles are used in a myriad of consumer products, such as circuit boards, kitchen appliances, office furniture, sports and exercise equipment, garage doors, siding, refrigerator panels and ice cube trays. Aluminum foil is finding new uses in flexible film and foil-based packages. Candidates for replacement include about 13 billion packages of pet food, tuna, coffee and soups. In addition, more energy drinks and beverages are making the transition from plastic to aluminum containers which are infinitely recyclable.
When designed with aluminum extrusions, train cars need only one-third the number of components, require less welding, and are significantly lighter in weight compared with the steel versions. Lightweight cars can carry greater loads and save on both freight and fuel costs. They are also better able to resist corrosion when carrying high-sulfur coal. The light weight of aluminum has become a critical design element in new, advanced commuter trains.
As an aluminum extrusions manufacturer in California, Hydro Extrusion can offer expert solutions for your extrusion design needs in the building and construction, transportation and solar/renewable energy industries as well as for industrial and consumer markets.

Arkansas loses game and boot to LSU, 38-10
No. 24 LSU simply outplayed No. 25 Arkansas on Senior Day at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, taking down the Hogs and back the boot, 38-10.
Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen still does not seem like the quarterback fans saw in the first month of the season. Only 15 of 31 for 210 yards, Allen struggled to find receivers all night, throwing two interceptions and one touchdown.
The game was not lost in the secondary though, or because of Allen's arm, it was lost in the trenches.
Behind a bruising offensive line, Tigers running backs Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice combined for 350 yards and five touchdowns on the ground against a Razorbacks defense that looked lost for much of the game.
Despite some fiery play by the Hogs running backs, Rawleigh Williams III and Devwah Whaley struggled to find room to run much of the game, averaging about 3.4 yards per carry and only able to manage 81 yards on the ground.
So after a two year stint in Fayetteville, the Golden Boot will stay in Baton Rouge until the two meet again next season.
Arkansas has two road games to finish off the regular season, taking on Mississippi State and then Missouri.

Spencer Matthews

Michelle Ackerley
TV presenter Michelle Ackerley said she's "not a great cook".

Clara Amfo

"In my mind I know what I want to do so everything should lead to a successful conclusion – but it doesn't seem to work that way because I forget something."
Frankie Bridge
The Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge has admitted that she's a fussy eater so "seasoning and herbs and things like that just don't really exist".
She said: "I don't really cook anything that's very interesting. I'm not a sauce person and I don't tend to season things that much, which is obviously why I'm going to be stressed!"

Carol said: "He really got on my nerves. He was new to TV and I think he coped by being a little belligerent.
"We had a couple of arguments."
Josh Cuthbert
Union J member Josh Cuthbert is meant to pull in female viewers, producers hope.
A source revealed: "BBC casting agents thinks it's a great shout to soft-launch Josh to viewers on a mainstream show like MasterChef ahead of a possible Strictly stint.
"It means that house-wives will be familiar with him too as well as younger music fans."
Anita Harris
Anita Harris, the 76-year-old entertainer, will be the oldest contestant on the show.
Anita is famous for being in the Carry On films, among other things.
Jean Johansson
Ex-weather girl Jean Johansson, who also presents a wildlife show, said: "I've had a Chilean tarantula in my hand that could have poisoned me.
"I've held a scorpion with a really deadly sting. All that's fine. But I found MasterChef really, really scary."
Lisa Maxwell
Lisa is a former Loose Women panellist and actress from The Bill.

SALTAIR, Utah (AP) — In a story March 11 about a rollover car accident, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the person who was killed was a Lyft driver. A Lyft driver discovered and reported the accident that involved a driver of another vehicle.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Police: Driver, 26, killed in rollover accident near Saltair
Police say a 26-year-old driver is dead after being ejected from the vehicle in a rollover accident east of Saltair
SALTAIR, Utah (AP) — Police say a 26-year-old driver is dead after being ejected from the vehicle in a rollover accident east of the Saltair.
They have identified the man as Aaron Roll of Holladay.
Unified Police say Roll was thrown from the car sometime before 3:30 a.m. Saturday along a frontage road.
A Lyft driver passing by discovered the accident and reported it to police.
Investigators say physical evidence at the scene indicates Roll veered into the weeds and apparently overcorrected, rolling his vehicle.
The Deseret News reports that a concert was held at the Saltair venue Friday night and the accident likely occurred after that.
