History and information about Corsa Performance and their products.
The LMPerformance team considers several things in choosing Corsa exhaust systems for its customers. Among these are great sound and improved horsepower. CORSA mufflers and exhaust systems do a great job in these areas. The CORSA performance exhaust has an aggressive performance sound and are all acoustically styled and engineered to match the make, model, and harmonics specific to your vehicle. There is no drone with the CORSA performance exhaust because the CORSA exhaust systems use RSC™ technology to eliminate "problem" frequencies that cause interior drone/resonance at cruising speeds. CORSA Performance Exhaust has patented non-restrictive Straight-through design that reduces back pressure and frees up additional power resulting in improved horsepower and torque. As an additional bonus, the CORSA cat back exhaust systems can result in greater fuel economy because of less back pressure and more power.
CORSA Performance Exhaust ensures the exhaust will last by using Premium 304L stainless steel construction and does not use cheap easily degraded packing materials.
CORSA Exhaust offers 3 levels of sound: XTREME - their loudest offering for those who want the loudest baddest sounding system out there with an aggressive tone, CORSA's SPORT systems for their mid sound level is a great alternative for customers who want an aggressive sounding unique exhaust but who do not necessarily want to hear it all the time. The sport option is a good option for mildly modified vehicles and for comfortable highway cruising, CORSA's TOURING exhaust is their quietest system for those with highly modified engines or those who wish to only have a slightly louder tone then stock. No matter your sound preference, CORSA mufflers have you covered.
CORSA Exhaust revolutionized the aftermarket exhaust industry in 1998 when they introduced their extraordinary invention RSC or Reflective Sound Cancellation on the C5 Corvette because this was the discovery that made it possible for CORSA to eliminate on a selective basis the resonant frequencies that cause that unpleasant drone in your exhaust system and they did this by reflecting sound waves out of phase and custom tuning that exhaust note. They continue to diligently work toward their goal of perfecting sound and to this aim they use various kinds of RSC technologies to eliminate the unwelcome drone in your exhaust system and they do not fail to take into consideration OEM design nor performance issues since these are an integral part of the entire system. Today there are hundreds of unique designs of CORSA mufflers and exhausts for a multiplicity of vehicles, and every system is designed particularly for that vehicle. Whether you are in the market for a cat-back system for your Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Jeep, Nissan, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Scion, Subaru, Toyota or Volkswagen CORSA and LMPERFORMANCE have the part you need to give you that remarkable sound quality and performance you crave and if an axle-back is what you have in mind for your BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, or other brands then they can help you there too.

MANILA — A ball of fire and explosions ripped through a munitions depot at the Philippine army's headquarters near the financial district in Manila Wednesday, injuring 25 people, mostly soldiers and firemen, officials said.
The blaze is suspected of triggering the blasts that rained bullets, broken bricks, pieces of concrete, glass and tree branches at the sprawling Fort Bonifacio site, they added.
He put the updated toll at 25 injured, many of them soldiers as well as firefighters who were trying to put out a blaze at the isolated munitions depot when the entire building suddenly exploded in orange flame.
Footage by local television network ABS-CBN showed the main explosion, followed by soldiers and firemen running and shouting for help on a football field strewn with injured colleagues, tree branches and other debris.
Colleagues shouted at a fireman in a fire retardant suit who vainly tried to pull his fire hose out of the inferno while soldiers and other firemen loaded injured colleagues into an ambulance and an army truck.
The building is surrounded by trees and is located a few minutes' drive from the Makati financial district.
Detoyato said a barracks nearby was used as quarters by army explosives experts who respond to bomb alerts and similar emergencies in the capital.
The cause of the blaze was being investigated, he added.
Detoyato said the army had ordered the evacuation of nearby offices and commercial buildings as a precaution, though no more explosions occurred and the fire was eventually put out.
An AFP photographer saw seven men being treated for various injuries at the army hospital.
"We were hit by flying bricks and broken glass as we retreated from the building," volunteer Manila fireman Agrifino Santos told AFP.
The 40-year-old fireman said his team was dispatched from a nearby district and were trying to put out the late morning blaze when the huge explosion occurred.
"We hit the ground immediately but we got hit nonetheless," said Santos, his head heavily bandaged and his back scorched after his shirt ignited.
His six colleagues had apparently less serious cuts on their legs and hands.
Philippine Army deputy spokesman Capt. Anthony Bacus told reporters he was in a nearby building when he heard a series of small blasts "like firecrackers" shortly after the fire alert was raised.
"After about 15 minutes there was a huge explosion," he added.

The number of crimes solved thanks to the DNA database is actually falling despite the ever-growing number of people it contains.
Figures given to Parliament show that even though 7 per cent of the UK population are now on the DNA database it helped solve only 0.36 per cent of crimes, down from 0.37 per cent last year. In the same period over half a million people have been added to the database.
In fact there has been no big improvement in convictions since 2000/2001 when the database contained just 1.2 million people but was useful in 0.29 per cent of recorded crimes.
There are 4.7 million records on the English and Welsh database relating to some 4.1 million individuals. In 2007/2008 another 541,000 individuals were added to the database, down from 667,000 the year before.
In 2007/2008 DNA played a useful role in tackling 17,614 crimes out of a total of 4,950,671 crimes recorded. The database cost £1.6m to run last year, down from £2.04m in 2006/2007.
Parliament also got a breakdown of the ethnic appearance and ages of those on the database. It's thought that replication of records means the total number of entries is 13.3 per cent higher than the number of people these records relate to.
There are 80 children aged under ten with DNA records. There are 325,422 DNA records for people of black appearance, 226,938 for people of Asian appearance, 26,300 for people of Chinese, Japanese or south east Asian and 3,294,760 records for people of northern European appearance.
There are just under a million children aged between 10 and 17 on the database - 917,252.
A Home Office spokeswoman said: "The National DNA Database (NDNAD) is a key intelligence tool which has revolutionised the way the police can protect the public through identifying offenders and securing more convictions.
"The benefits of the NDNAD lie not only in detecting the guilty but in eliminating the innocent from inquiries, focusing the direction of inquiries resulting in savings in police time and in building public confidence that elusive offenders may be detected and brought to justice."
The figures were given in a Parliamentary answer and Genewatch has more here. ®

'How I Met Your Mother' Preview: Will "Weekend At Barney's" Be A Shot of Life?
Tonight's all-new 'How I Met Your Mother' episode "The Ashtray" Will dip into the past a bit as Kyle MacLachlan's "The Captain" returns with an unusual request for Ted, but it's next Monday's "Weekend at Barney's" that will really go retro. The episode will see Barney aiding Ted in picking up a new girl by borrowing a few pages from cinematic history, re-creating the look of 1989 classic 'Weekend at Bernie's!' And since we'll assume Barney isn't really dead, check out a sneak peek of "Weekend At Barney's" inside!
'How I Met Your Mother' has pulled off a few spot-on movie parodies before (last week's continued homage to 'The Departed' being a recent favorite), but never has the long-running CBS comedy been so spot-on as with next Monday's "Weekend at Barney's!" CBS has released new photos of the February 25 episode, which feature Neil Patrick Harris re-creating the titular dead man, with Jason Segel and Josh Radnor filling the roles of Jonathan Silverman and Andrew McCarthy.
It isn't known exactly why Barney, Ted and Marshall so painstakingly recreate the 1989 film's look, but presumably has something to do with Barney helping Ted secure a new girl with use of the (apparently surviving) Playbook! Of course, Ted looking for love once more likely means that he and Jeanette ('SNL's Abby Elliot) aren't long for this world, as we see the deranged character providing a likely source of the relationship going down in literal flames. And is that an engagement ring, we spied?
Will Robin discover that Barney hadn't really destroyed his playbook as promised? Will the 'Weekend at Bernie's' scheme succeed in bringing Ted a new girl? Check out the spot-on recreation from 'How I Met Your Mother's "Weekend at Barney's" below, and be sure to check out tonight's new episode "The Ashtray" as well!

Silent Retreat
Discover new countries? Fine. But discovering yourself is more interesting. How about a silent retreat at one of these monasteries or centers?
san francisco:SPIRITUAL SILENCE
Days spent only in silence, sitting, walking, breathing: Such retreats, mostly in the Buddhist Vipassana tradition, are available at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Beautifully situated north of San Francisco, it was founded by the famous U.S. meditation teacher Jack Kornfield.
würzburg: sit with the master
Willigis Jäger, Germany's best-known Zen master, has converted a former monastery near Würzburg, into a meditation center, the Benediktushof. It offers Zen exercises alongside other practises, such as contemplation in the Christian tradition.
chiang mai: capital of silence
If you're really serious about it, make the pilgrimage to Chiang Mai. The three-week beginners' meditation course at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple is led by Buddhist monks. Thailand's retreat hotspot also offers plenty of much shorter courses.

Miss Kansas 2009 Wins DWTS Mark Ballas' "Miss Incredible" Video Contest
CJOnline is reporting that Miss Kansas 2009 won Dancing With The Stars Mark Ballas' video contest for "Miss Incredible". What a cool pick!! I'm loving the idea behind this video. Here is more and be sure to visit the link for more.
Becki Walenz has been living a relatively quiet — or, rather, musical — life since she was Miss Kansas in 2009.
But the Kansas State University trumpet instructor will be putting her musical talent back in the public eye in the music video for "Dancing with the Stars"-famed Mark Ballas' latest single, "Miss Incredible."
A news release from Walenz, 26, said she saw a contest on Twitter called "I'm Miss Incredible." The contest, open to any U.S. woman that was "doing amazing things to enhance their lives and the lives of others," was a casting call for Ballas' music video. The singer-songwriter's video will feature multiple women in their roles as "Miss Incredible."
In his video call for auditions, Ballas said he was "raised by an incredible woman," inspiring him to recognize other incredible women for what they do.
Walenz' audition video was confirmed as a winner a week after submission. Walenz plays trumpet in the KSU Faculty Brass Quintet and Salina Symphony Orchestra in addition to her work as an instructor at Kansas State University and Kansas Wesleyan University.

If you'd like to add your own story to our Voices of FORCE pages, please complete our Voices of FORCE form.
My sister is a breast ca survivor, dx when she was 38yo, 11yrs ago. I have felt tremendous anxiety and fear since her dx almost as if my intuition "knew" the BRCA dx. Back then, it was difficult to do genetic testing without my sister being tested too, she is not interested in being tested. My OB/GYN encouraged testing and he referred me to a breast surgeon but didn't give me any other resources. I am a social worker and emailed a physician friend at NIH/NCI who strongly encouraged genetic counseling w a card carrying genetic counselor! I began my search via the internet, found FORCE, and made an appt w genetic counselor at Beaumont Hospital. My husband was very supportive as were most of my family, friends and colleagues. I then learned two of my cousins were both BRCA2 positive, (one is a 5yr breast cancer survivor and her sister was BRCA2 positive as well), they were both extremely supportive! After meeting with genetic counselors, oncologists and breast surgeons, I decided to have prophylactic bilateral simple mastectomies. I was stunned when genetic counselors made genogram of our family and I saw the cancers carried under BRCA2 within several generations.
I received tremendous support from survivors and previvors too!
I was in crisis, I reached out for support and never expected what transpired... I have never felt so judged and felt blindsided by the reaction of some folks. I had an expectation they'd be supportive and they tried to be but I still felt judged. People said things like, "Are you just doing this because of Angelina Jolie?" "Are you sure you don't have cancer?" "You know what you're doing is really extreme?" "I think you're nuts, i'd never part with my breasts" "But you don't have cancer", These comments created a lot of unnecessary stress during a very difficult time. Emotionally, at the time, I did not have the energy to attempt to educate these folks on risk factors. It triggered my grief and made me miss my dad! I was shocked as many saw me as brave yet others saw me as insane! It instilled emotions I had never experienced before, yet made me empathize for minorities far more than I already do!
Having worked 17yrs as a medical social worker, I knew I did not want breast reconstruction. I was blown away by the assumptions that I was getting implants. The comments of even receptionist's at doctor's offices, "Oh, you have to have reconstruction, you're too young not to have breasts" "Whose your plastic surgeon?", "What about your husband?" and so forth. My husband read NYTimes article, "No Easy Choices" and we viewed reconstructed breasts. My husband said,"I just want you here, get surgery to alleviate risk factors and forget reconstruction, its too much surgery and more health risks". Although rare, my surgeon was extremely supportive and said she understood my decision. My aunts had prosthetic breasts and it seemed "normal" to me, they made it seem like no big deal. I went to Comfortably Yours, a store in my community for prosthetic breasts and am VERY satisfied with my C cups! I have no regrets! I LOVE their staff too!
I would Absolutely do the Same Thing Over Again!! No pain with mastectomies as no lymph node involvement! LOVED my surgeon Dharti Sheth, MD! My incisions/scars look amazing as she knew I wasn't having reconstruction. I had DD breasts,I had no attachment to my breasts. I and am in awe how fast I am able to go on treadmill breast free and I feel free! Free of risks and literally lighter! It's great not to even wear sport's bra on treadmill! Land's End and Athleta clothing also for mastectomy and I am very happy with my new bathing suit!
I had tons of support from my RN friends who helped with my drains post op and an OB/GYN friend who was there for surgery and checked on me post op.
I LOVE my prosthetic breasts and another pair for swimming too! I love wearing sport bra style bras now too! Breastfree.org has been another great resource for me in addition to FORCE! I also got the BFFL bag at bfflco.org mastectomy bag and that was VERY beneficial pre and post op.
Although I was open with BRCA situation on FB in an attempt to educate others who might find themselves in similar situation, I wish I would have blogged, recorded entire process to further assist other women. I do hope to write more about my decision once fully recovered and since I am already a public speaker, I hope to give back to FORCE and Beaumont Hospital by speaking to help other women. I am a very strong woman and the lack of support and judgement I experienced was difficult. I would like to educate others as genomics seem to be the future. I am pleased media coverage regarding studies and BRCA as once accepted by mainstream, i'm certain judgements will drastically decrease
Reading the entire website was a tremendous comfort pre op and continues to be now! My husband and I met with my OB/GYN re ovaries and he recommended waiting until after menopause in a few years, then total hysterectomy.
I took FORCE'S advice, my husband and I met with a Gyn/Oncologist who I found thru FORCE website. Robert Morris, MD who suggested oophorectomy as he's finding, "Less is more, least invasive surgery and get on with my life" We agreed with him as i've had menopausal symptoms for several years already and just wanted reduce risk of ovarian cancer. That said, I can live with onset of surgical menopause,(fortunately, I haven't experienced ANY symptoms yet:) Oophorectomy was shorter recovery but pain was worse, I am feeling great one week post op and the good news as a result of this is no more monthly friend!
FORCE has been my guiding light throughout this BRCA situation and I am so grateful I stumbled upon you when my friend at NIH/NCI told me to meet with a card carrying genetic counselor!
I feel so empowered and blessed that I was given options as a result of genetic testing! My life has drastically changed and I have also learned to slow down! I am a psychotherapist in private practice and a professor in a university setting. I have been a workaholic and my family is always on the go. As I recovered from mastectomies, I realized I had not Ever been off work for more than two weeks since 1990?! It saddened me that it took surgery to slow down and actually be fully present visiting with company daily. That was a way of life for my grandparents, a lifestyle I observed as a child, and no one was ill or had surgery.
I also facilitate retreats for women and couple's and plan to place far more emphasis on being fully present, and add more YIN to my own life! We're all so busy, busy doing what?
I feel empowered like I kicked cancer's behind for so many family members and friends, especially my niece Kelly and my friend Michele who both died of cancer way too young and did not have this opportunity.
This has been especially challenging as my dad died 12/22/11, he was not just my dad, he was my rock! I prayed so hard to get signs as I wondered what he would've wanted me to do. It seemed whenever i'd wonder, i'd get what I call a "God Wink" for example, one day it was heavy on my mind and I received a card from his friend saying "Your dad would be so proud of your decision" and on 2/24/14, the night of my oophorectomy, Brian Williams-NBC Nightly News did a story, "Study: Ovary Removal May Reduce Risks for Women with Cancer Gene" Another God Wink, if it wasn't a sign from God or my dad, it was still timely and certainly confirmation I made the right decisions!
I am so blessed and grateful for Genetics, Force, Breastfree.org, Dharti Sheth, MD, Robert Morris, MD all Previvor's who supported me and my cousin Mary as well as my husband for accepting me just as he did prior to my surgeries! He is a Real Man! I am so blessed!
I am ready to get on with life and living it to its fullest! Thank YOU FORCE!

I totally understand winter dressing, I love to layer up, feel all cosy and generally be as warm as possible, when it comes to the summer months I really struggle as I either have beach climate outfits or winter warmers, It seems I have nothing in between. Which is kind of a problem for this variable weather we have been having – one minute boiling hot – the next second a little on the chilly side, which is where these amazing summer jackets come in.
The most important thing with a summer jacket other than the fit, I sometimes go down a size as I don't have as many layers on underneath, has to be versatility, it has to go with a lot of summer looks and different occasions, as lets face it you aren't going to buy more than say one or two for the season.
My summer jacket normally revolves around lightweight parkas or a denim jacket, but I was after something a little smarter that wouldn't look out-of-place with a casual look and that's when I spotted this soft quilted cropped jacket from Warehouse, which FYI is now in the sale.
It really is perfection, it is light, it is a great colour, goes with jeans, skirts, dresses, and works dressed up and paired down. Plus it has the all important three-quarter sleeve, for some reason I think that makes a summer jacket as you can show off your arm candy!!!
So the quilted Warehouse beauty might be my favourite and my current go-to summer cover-up but I done a little shopping for the top 10 summer jackets out there at the moment. So whether you after something to wear to a festival, team with a gorgeous dress to an outdoor wedding, or wear to a Sunday brunch with friends – I have found something for everyone.

Part # 255-014-030-015
The K-Tech DDS "Pro" rear shock has been designed for use at the highest level of racing and developed in major championships around the world. Like all other K-Tech products it has been designed and manufactured in the UK using the latest design software and highest grades of materials. As you would expect from a high quality racing product, the DDS "Pro" features compression and rebound damping adjustment, length adjustment and hydraulic spring preload adjustment. It also features our unique ByPass Valve adjuster which controls both compression and rebound damping adjustment to assist with chassis control at low velocity shock movement to enhance tyre feel and grip. The DDS system uses a smaller piston rod which keeps the system more stable over a wider temperature range due to its small displacement. Damping is controlled by a 32mm piston which allows the use of larger shims for improved feel.

Jim Gumm has never been to the Croatan National Forest.
Jim Gumm has never been to the Croatan National Forest. But he has an idea of what it will be like when he arrives next week to serve as its new district ranger.
�I hope to bring a real love for the land and also for the people that both work there and enjoy it,� Gumm said. �It�s been my experience with the forest service that I can expect to have a lot of really high quality, prescient people that work there on the district and a lot of really engaged members of the public that know a lot about the land because they have grown up with it. I look forward to making things better and I really look forward to working with quality people, and I�m very excited about the opportunities.�
Gumm is expected to start his duties as district ranger of the 160,000-acre Croatan National Forest on Monday.
Most recently, Gumm served as the district ranger of the Guadalupe district in the Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico. He has managed that 288,540 acres since 2011. Before that, he was a public information officer and as an administrative specialist from 2008 to 2011 in the Modoc National Forest in California.
Before beginning his time at the forest service, Gumm worked in communications, operations and management in the private sector. He is a veteran of the U.S. air Force and has experience working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency after natural disasters.
Gumm has a master�s degree in organizational communications from Southeastern Louisiana University, a bachelor�s degree in industrial technology from Southern Illinois University and an associate�s degree in construction technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
�Jim brings a wide range of work experience, ranging from fire communications to operations, to the Croatan National Forest,� Kristin Bail, forest supervisor for the U.S. Forest Service National Forests, said in a statement. �He is a proven leader who builds coalitions and partnerships. These skills will serve him well as he cares for land and serves our visitors and partners of this coastal plain forest.�
Gumm said he was looking forward to working in the Croatan National Forest.
�It is a real honor to have been selected for this position,� he said. �I look forward to working with the Forest Service staff and many partners who share a passion for the very special lands of the Croatan National Forest.�

I like this question because people have such a difficult time agreeing to agree on definitions. The most basic question of all, "What is Free Will" never gets hashed out so that people can discuss it on common terms. So I'm more interested now in just how to define it.
It's extremely difficult for people to imagine their own non-existence (whether before birth or after death), and perhaps the only way that an existing mind can contemplate itself is to imagine perpetual existence. Eternal Soul. After all, even the concept of time cannot exist without a mind to conceive it.
I'm convinced that the spiritual definition of it is just a self-serving delusion; the concept itself is just an emergent property (or Result) of a present mind. The question itself is meaningless in a scientific sense (as in what's one divided by zero), and only meaningful in a spiritual sense (as in how can I not have a soul). Hope I haven't speculated too much here already. The simple question(s) again that it comes down to is...
--What exactly is Free Will?
--Maybe there will always be two definitions, scientific vs. spiritual? Result vs. Cause?

(Sounds like placebo affect to me. I'm surprised they didn't mention that.)
Every year thousands of dollars are spent on psychics who claim to "know" the future. The present research questions why, despite no evidence that humans are able to psychically predict the future, do people persist in holding irrational beliefs about precognition? We argue that believing the future is predictable increases one's own perceived ability to exert control over future events. As a result, belief in precognition should be particularly strong when people most desire control–that is, when they lack it. In Experiment 1 (N = 87), people who were experimentally induced to feel low in control reported greater belief in precognition than people who felt high in control. Experiment 2 (N = 53) investigated whether belief in precognition increases perceived control. Consistent with this notion, providing scientific evidence that precognition is possible increased feelings of control relative to providing scientific evidence that precognition was not possible. Experiment 3 (N = 132) revealed that when control is low, believing in precognition helps people to feel in control once more. Prediction therefore acts as a compensatory mechanism in times of low control. The present research provides new insights into the psychological functions of seemingly irrational beliefs, like belief in psychic abilities.
The present research has shown that beliefs about psychic predictability can provide the psychological system with a compensatory boost in perceived control. We found that people were drawn to predictability when they experienced loss of control–even to the extent of endorsing seemingly irrational beliefs about precognition. We propose, therefore, that these kinds of beliefs are not an unreasonable response to control deprivation. Indeed, to the extent that belief in precognition increases perceived control, people could be described as becoming functionally irrational by holding this or related beliefs when control is threatened.
On a practical note, our findings help to explain why interest in the predictive arts is highest in times of threat and uncertainty [12]–[17]. It is at these moments that individuals most feel the need to control the course of their lives. Belief in precognition meets this need by enabling people to feel that the future is predictable, and can therefore be controlled. Regardless of whether precognitive abilities actually exist, therefore, belief in their existence serves an important psychological function of boosting perceived control in times of uncertainty.
I prefer to look at this from the other direction. We have something. Exactly what this something is i cannot say. Now to have any hope of discussing this we need to give it a name. And "free will" seems like a good of a name for it as any , as well we may quibble over exactly how to define it in words atleast everybody understands the underlying experience of it.
These are just two thoughts i have been pondering on the subject of free will
1- We must be careful of reductionism. You cant reduce what chocolate tastes like or how it feels to fall in love to quantum mechanics. There is information which only exists as part of a whole pattern. But even if we take reductionism as valid it has a glaring problem , for while we can reduce consciousness to chemistry, where there seems there is no place for free will, we can also reduce chemistry to quantum mechanics. And quantum mechanics not only knocks predeterminism out cold, it also kicks it in the head a few times for good measure. And now since we know predeterminism and quantum mechanics dont mix then just how can we say that the emergent behavior we call "free will " definitly does not occupy a similiar sphere of existence where there is also no such thing as predeterminism?
2- If there is no such thing as free will then how do we scale events which give us even less than no "free will". For example I feel there is a difference between me becoming addicted to heroine of my own "free will " and me being forcefully injected with it untill i become addicted to it. But now if there is no such thing as "free will" then does the latter situation count as negative no "free will"?Then also if we have no "free will" and we grant that negative no "free will " is nonsensical then does that honestly mean these two situations are functionally identical.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC) review
"Morrowind's atmosphere is so all encompassing despite the derivative high-fantasy setting that it's an enormous challenge not to be blown away at regular intervals. This atmosphere stretches beyond the realms of the delicious visual design, or the eerily fantastic soundscapes, right up to those little moments of the game where you simply can't believe what's happening."

Local luminaries: Inspiration for writerly kids
Spring is my favorite time of year. Yes, it's getting warmer and flowers are starting to sprout, but one of the best parts of spring is the Virginia Festival of the Book.
This year's family events at the Festival spotlight the wealth of literary talent living in and around Charlottesville, giving kids the chance to shake hands and talk with authors, storytellers, artists— even "famous" kids— all of whom might live right down the street.
Marcia Silvermetz is one of these hometown folks who will read from her book, Gertrude the Albino Frog, a story that lets kids know that being different is something special. Photographer Peggy Harrison– whose books, We Love Soccer and We Love Baseball, feature the photos of local preschool sports stars– will be on hand along with the kids who are pictured in the books. Preschool teacher Latifa Berry Kropf, whose students are featured in her book It's Challah Time!, will also be there, along with the book's photographer Tod Cohen.
And just so kids don't get the idea that only adults can be writers, winners from WHTJ's Reading Rainbow Young Writers and Illustrators are scheduled to present their work in an awards ceremony at the Jefferson Theatre. Middle and high school students from many area schools will read their work at the Omni hotel. And winners of the University of Virginia Art Museum's Writer's Eye competition— most of whom are kids— will read at Barnes & Noble.
Other family Festival fun includes La Hora de los Cuentos en Espanol (Storytime in Spanish), celebrating the Festival of the Book with a special presentation at Central Library. Teens will enjoy the unique brand of poetry presented by The Loudmouth Collective at McGuffey Arts Center. Old Michie Theatre lets little ones peek behind the curtains and meet the puppeteers of Sleeping Beauty before the Saturday afternoon performance. AlbemarleKids returns with their Junior Journalist Workshop. And back by popular demand is the hands-on bookbinding workshop also at the McGuffey.
And kids should not miss the chance to meet Mamie "Peanut" Johnson, one of only three women to play professional baseball in the legendary Negro League. Johnson is the subject of the book, A Strong Right Arm, a young adult chapter book written by Michelle Green. The former ball player will be appearing in a special event at the Omni, where she will sign copies of the book as well as baseball memorabilia.
With so much inspiration right in our own neighborhood, maybe the Festival of the Book will have kids saying, "Hey! I can do that too!"
The Virginia Festival of the Book takes place all over town March 19-23. Most activities are free. A complete schedule of events is available at various locations including libraries, bookshops, and recreation centers. Or check the website, www.vabook.org.

Ariana Grande's Next Single Rumored to Be 'Break Free' [PHOTOS]by Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Ariana Grande has literally been breaking records with her chart-topping single 'Problem,' and there's no rest in sight for the singer. She just wrapped up filming the video for her second single, which is currently rumored to be 'Break Free.'
Fans began speculating on the 20-year-old's next single on the ATRL music community, pointing to fan tweets mentioning 'Break Free' that Ariana later favorited. Hmm…
According to JosepVinaixa.com, the Zedd-produced song is scheduled for a July release and will be the official second single from her forthcoming sophomore album. The as yet untitled album is set for a fall release.
Whatever the next single may be, Ariana is dropping plenty of hints for the video on her Instagram. She shared a photo of her in a shiny, metallic costume holding a futuristic-looking gun with the promising caption of "coming soon."
Today (June 18) she posted multiple vintage shots of women dressed as astronauts or holding a space gun similar to her own. Will her next video feature a futuristic setting? What are you trying to tell us, Ariana?!
Nothing has been officially confirmed, for the single or the video, but there's definitely something interesting brewing in this star's camp!
What do you think, Arianators and PopCrushers? Do you want 'Break Free' to be Ariana's next single?

When it comes to deer hunting, Marshall Collins got tired of being treed. About five years ago, he did something about it: He built an outhouse that doubles as a deer blind.
When it comes to deer hunting, Marshall Collins got tired of being treed. About five years ago, he did something about it: He built an outhouse that doubles as a deer blind.
Or maybe it's a deer blind that doubles as an outhouse.
Whatever it is, it's camouflaged, and it works.
"Deer walk right by it all the time," Marshall says.
Deer hunters are persnickety about letting people know exactly where they are hunting. So, not to narrow it down too much, let's just say Marshall hunts near Oakford. He was out there this weekend for the first shotgun deer season.
His blind/outhouse is about seven feet tall and has a glass front door so he can see outside should a deer happen to stroll past. One of its nicest features is the fancy floor. It's concrete, with a profile of Abraham Lincoln embedded in it. It sort of looks like a big Lincoln penny.
"It's a Lincoln insignia," Marshall says, "a cast-iron casting of his face. We put it right in the center of the outhouse on the floor and poured it right into the concrete. Why? Just to have something to talk about."
He found a sign directing people to Lincoln sites and put that up near his outhouse. This is one Lincoln site, however, that no tourist will ever see.
Marshall and his brother, Ralph, built the outhouse/blind as another option to tree stands and so they would have some place comfortable to, um, use.
"I just got tired of sitting up in that tree," explains Marshall, who owns Collins Plumbing and Heating in Petersburg and Springfield.
When a deer gets in range of his blind, what happens?
"Just open the door and shoot," he says. "Or you could slide the screen down and shoot that way."
Not that anyone ever has. So far, the number of deer taken from the outhouse — a one-holer — stands at zero.
"It's more of a conversation piece," Marshall says. He still has tree stands in the same area that he can hunt from. But when it gets cold, or when it's needed, the outhouse is a nice option.
"The heater in there warms it right up," he says. That is a propane heater. There's a tank outside and a hole has been cut in the wall that the heating element fits through.
The blind/outhouse also has cookie tins nailed to the walls for storage. A hunter can store first-aid equipment in there, or aspirin, or even deer slugs.
A quick tour of Google shows that people have used mobile homes and the cabs of pickup trucks as tree stands for deer hunting. But no other camouflaged outhouse blinds were located. Marshall's could be one of a kind.
"It's a fancy little deal," he says. "It's probably one of the fanciest ones in the state of Illinois."

1969 Chevy Camaro And 1967 Plymouth Barracuda- Hometown Hot Rodding
1969 Camaro Retirement PlanWhen most of us think of retirement, we think of no more work, and maybe a little traveling. Joe Swope Jr. of Columbus, Indiana, has been planning his retirement adventures for years. Joe wants to get back into the world of hot rods. He had been visiting the local car shows for years, getting ideas, and looking for that diamond-in-the-rough Camaro. He didn't want to spend his retirement as a spectator, so he had until 2010 to purchase and build a car to his specifications. After leaving his business cards on nearly every Camaro at the car show, one owner gave him a ring to let him know his was for sale. After a careful and in-depth inspection, Joe decided to purchase it. Shortly after, he brought it to CAB Street Rods in Columbus. There, Joe and the CAB staff worked closely on getting this Camaro to where Joe had imagined.
Joe got his family into the project as well. He assigned different parts of the car to be designed by his grandchildren. They picked the body color, interior design and color, and the wheels. Independent from Joe's ideas, they turned out just how he had wanted. Since the build was completed, Joe has taken his retirement present to a couple local car shows, but with the addition of an enclosed trailer and pickup truck, he plans to explore more.

1967 Barracuda One Way TicketIt's amazing what we will do to find true love. Being 51 years old, Jim was at a place in his life that he could get himself a cool hot rod, and had his heart set on finding himself a fastback Barracuda. After a long search, he stumbled upon one online in Washington. Jim and his friend Mike purchased their one-way tickets to bring home this jewel. With their bags packed full of tools and spare parts, they figured there wasn't anything that could stop them from bringing this car back home to Los Angeles. It was true; the 2,800-mile trip went smoothly with only minor setbacks. At 4:00 a.m., alternator failure slowed their pace, while having to wait for the car parts store to open, but then they were back on the road, only stopping for gas and food.
Once the car was home, Jim began to strip it down, and found the usual rust spots. Seeing that the amount of work was enough to recruit some help, Mike notified him of a correctional institute instructor who could have his students/inmates strip the car for him. The program was to give the inmates some trade skills for when they return to the real world, and this car was a shining example of what they could achieve. The car came back in beautiful paint, and was unbelievably straight. They did a great job Jim insists, but now it was time to continue the work on his own.
He replaced the 273ci engine with a more potent 360, backed with a 727 automatic transmission and 8 3/4-inch rearend. He added disc brakes shortly after, and was lucky enough to be able to keep most of the interior original, minus new carpet and seat covers.
Mothers Picture?Perfect AwardThis is the place to show off your pride and joy to the rest of mankind, so we figure those readers who took the time to capture a really cool shot of their hot rod should get a little bonus. Mothers agreed, and decided to come to the party with some freebies for the best picture submitted to PHR.
Each month, the editors at PHR will sift through the images and pick the one with the best composition, lighting, and overall quality. The winner will get a cool assortment of Mothers products to keep his or her ride looking nice and shiny. Mail us a photograph or, if you're a modern guy, e-mail us a digital image. Remember that digital images need to be 300 dpi and, the bigger the image, the larger it can run. Also, be sure to include info on the car, along with your name and address. Good luck!

Insaini necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 31 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Insaini - http://www.insaini.com
Insaini is a small LED Lighting company based out of Toronto Canada. We currently offer a nice range of products however feel its too broad an offering and want to slim it down to a few of our best products. We have in been in business three years and sales have always been small and few and far between.. we really want to increase our presence especially locally as well as within Canada.
We want to specialise in low-voltage light bulbs and lighting products and currently we offer a nice range of products in both high and low voltage. However we feel its too broad a range and want to slim down the offering to a few of our best products keeping mainly to low-voltage lighting and make it our niche in the marketplace. Consumers and Business interested who utilise these products such as Jewellery stores and other retail sectors would benefit from enormous electricity savings by installing some of the LED replacement products we carry.
We are looking for a redesign of our current website located at http://www.insaini.com
While we have categories for our products.. we really will only have about 2 - 3 items per category. Currently some of our categories have up to 10 products.. most of these will be removed as we no longer wish to offer these..
In total we may have about 12 products in our offering and would like a way to showcase them all in a way thats not really categorized as categorizing 1 - 2 products per category doesnt make sense.
I am also a capable programmer and can easily introduce javascript using jQuery for example to produce slide shows or other effects into the design and we are definitely looking for some smooth curves and a web 2.0 concept to the layout and scheme.
Not looking for anything funky .. simple with some gradients but at the same time has some nice graphic design behind it.
Our colours are currently the greens in the logo which we are happy with.. and would like a layout based on the green / white and a third neutral colour. We would like to introduce the title "Specialising in low-voltage LED lighting products" or something to that effect.. suggests are welcome.
We want to utilize the Canada Post shipping logo as well as include a Paypal logo
Please provide

Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management is by far the largest shareholder at JC Penney, giving him a board seat and a lot of influence at the company.
On Friday, Ackman criticized CEO Ron Johnson, a man he personally recruited from Apple and previously loudly supported, which signaled that Johnson's time was up. He stepped down days later.
Now, according to Reuters, it looks like Ackman's going to have to take the humiliating step of admitting defeat and exit his years long position in the struggling retailer.
"What we have now is clearly the worst case scenario and Bill will be looking to make as graceful an exit as quickly as possible," a Pershing Square investor told Reuters.
Another investor said that Ron Johnson's failure does "not bode well for the board's receptivity to (Ackman's) future recommendations. He is now a neutered activist."
And what's the benefit of having a massive stake in a struggling company if you can't push changes?
Ackman's held onto the investment for a long time despite increasing doubts about Johnson's strategy. But there are a number of reasons that now might be the time for him to exit.
- The losses are getting huge. The declining stock price has led to around $500 million in paper losses for the hedge fund
- The losses and the high profile nature of his bet have significantly tarnished his reputation
- His handpicked leader failed, so he likely has less influence with JCP's board
- The board picked Mike Ullman, a man Ackman helped push out in favor of Johnson, as interim CEO
The hedge fund could either start selling its shares, or try to join a deal to take the company private. Either way, Ackman will be eager to put this embarrassing chapter in his investment history behind him.

Canwest News Service
When Iranian-born Fariborz Birjandian came to Canada 21 years ago with a degree in management and maritime science, he quickly realized he had transferable skills that could be applied to several occupations.
At the time, the process of foreign credential recognition was nearly non-existent compared with today and that process is now undergoing what the federal government says is another step to speed up the assessment of internationally trained immigrants.
Ottawa recently announced a plan to ensure newcomers to Canada in certain fields will know within one year whether their qualifications will be recognized by provincial and professional regulatory and accreditation bodies across Canada, working in conjunction with provincial officials to coordinate implementation of the new framework.
"We have to give these people hope to see light at the end of the tunnel," says Birjandian, who is now the executive director of the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society. "At least the federal government is trying to engage all other partners in a meaningful way. Hopefully, there will be some accountability around it."
The Pan-Canadian Framework for the Assessment and Recognition of Foreign Qualifications sets an initial deadline of Dec. 31, 2010 to assess the first round of eight occupations: architects, engineers, financial auditors and accountants, medical laboratory technologists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, physiotherapists and registered nurses. It's part of Ottawa's previously announced $50-million plan to work with provincial and territorial ministers to address barriers to credential recognition.
"This framework complements initiatives such as the Action Plan for Faster Immigration, as they make our immigration system better meet the needs of our labour market," says Jason Kenney, federal minister of citizenship, immigration and multiculturalism, in a news release.
During the next phase of implementation ending December 2012, the framework will expand to include dentists, engineering technicians, licensed practical nurses, medical radiation technologists, physicians and primary school teachers.
"Ensuring that foreign credentials and qualifications are assessed … in a timely manner will enable newcomers to maximize their talents," adds Diane Finley, minister of human resources and skills development.
Birjandian hopes the plan will address the length of time it can take to immigrate to Canada, which he says is often four or five years — delays that can cause highly sought-after workers to find their skills no longer needed upon arrival.
At the start of the boom in Alberta, for example, welders were in high demand. By the time they were recruited and accredited in Canada, the recession took hold and many now find themselves working in menial jobs. Similar stories are heard from engineers.
"We think that if we deal with those [credential recognition] issues they have … we're going to solve the problem, but at the end of the day, it's employers that accept the assessment or not," says Birjandian. "If we don't address the numbers [of new immigrants], we're still going to be in the same situation where everybody will be qualified and certified in Canada, but supply and demand will tell us how many of them get jobs."
The Foreign Credentials Referral Office, established in May 2007, helps foreign-trained workers get the information and support services they need to speed up the process of credential recognition in Canada and before they arrive.
While Birjandian is encouraged by the recent announcement, he worries Canada's immigrant selection system, based on a points scale targeting specific occupations, will result in unneeded professionals as supply and demand shifts.
"It's a rapidly-changing environment we're dealing with in the business community worldwide," he says.
CCIS helps new immigrants identify transferable skills that can be applied to occupations that utilize their skills to avoid highly trained newcomers working as taxi drivers or day labourers.
The new framework is meant to improve pre-arrival services, timely assessments that are fair and eventually improved workforce participation.
Giving immigrants hope; Ottawa's one-year credentials plan gets a qualified welcome

Kent State School of Library and Information Science Advances in U.S. News Rankings
The School of Library and Information Science at Kent State University has moved up in the rankings of the nation's top schools of library and information studies, according to the latest edition (2014) of U.S. News & World Report's "Best Graduate Schools."
Kent State's School of Library and Information Science is now ranked overall at number 18, up from number 20. The school's Services for Children and Youth program now ranks in the top 10, up from number 13.
"This is wonderful news for Kent State," said Tomas Lipinski, J.D., LL.M., Ph.D., director of Kent State's School of Library and Information Science. "It proves that the school is headed in the right direction. It also testifies to the excellence of our faculty and staff, as well as the success of our alumni and students."
Lipinski became director of the School of Library and Information Science this past January.
U.S. News ranked 51 master's degree programs in library and information studies in the United States that are accredited by the American Library Association. The rankings are based solely on the results of a fall 2012 survey sent to the dean, program director and a senior faculty member in each program, asking them to choose top programs noted for excellence in each specialty area. The rankings will be featured in the "Best Graduate Schools 2014" edition, available on April 9.
Kent State's School of Library and Information Science has Ohio's only accredited Master of Library and Information Science degree program, offering courses in Kent, Columbus (State Library of Ohio) and through a fully online option. The school also offers a Master of Science in information architecture and knowledge management and participates in an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in the College of Communication and Information.

Redwolf visits Aguieus-HTS (2009-07-14)
Most of us play Airsoft for the sake of experiencing real combat in a safe environment. And for some lucky ones, occasionally you get to shoot the real thing for kicks. But we got even luckier and got to spend an afternoon visiting the gentlemen over at Aguieus-HTS, a leading training school providing live fire tactical training for high threat security and tactical operations in high risk, hostile environments. If that sounds like a mouthful, then just think of these guys are hard-core highly experienced combat operators who have seen it all on the front lines. Their training facility in Tampa Florida offers year round private, mission specific training programs dedicated to supporting specific missions within the US government and law enforcement agencies. They have taken home what they have learned from the front lines, with the objective of preparing combat operatives fully before they are sent overseas. Not usually open to training civilian organizations, we were privileged enough to go through one of their basic starter courses. But they offer many other courses which can be found here (http://www.aguieus-hts.com/tactical_training_courses.php)
A visit to their facility requires driving through long stretches of sandy road into the wilderness of the Tampa. After driving through several gates, we landed into a vast 13,000 acre facility which includes multiple scenario based layouts and a firing range. We had our try at shooting M4?s, P226?s and AK47?s from multiple engagement distances, learned to walk in formation for VIP training, and also learned a lot about how to handle firearms safely. We also showed our instructors an Inokatsu M4 and they were quite amazed at how realistic it was built! Another cool thing we learned was how PANTAC vests, pouches and slings were being used by operators engaged in the front lines. One popular vest is the PANTAC RRV vest shown here with real ballistic plates inserted.
The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable, sharing many interesting stories from the front lines. The jewels of the day were a Dragunov SVD with authentic Russian scope. The SVD was stunningly hard to fire precisely, and the recoil really put a dent into our shoulder bones! But then one of the instructors took out a highly tuned M40A3 that he used on missions. Nailing a coin from 200 yards was as simple as putting the crosshairs on target and pulling lightly on the trigger! Call us ?Airsoft Guys? but we sure were impressed!
Thank you Aguieus-HTS for such a great afternoon. If you belong to a law enforcement or military organization and are serious about your training, check out Aguieus-HTS for your training needs.

NEH Start-Up Grant White Papers (Part IV)
This is Part IV of a series of posts highlighting recent white papers from completed Start-Up Grants (Parts I and II and III also available).
All ODH programs (and some programs in other NEH divisions and offices) require the grantee to submit a "white paper" at the conclusion of the grant. In ODH, we publish these white papers in our Funded Project Query Form. In the white paper, the grantee provides a summary of the grant activities, what they learned, recommended best practices, and even what they might have done differently. By making these white papers freely available, members of the public -- including other prospective applicants -- can learn from what has already been done and build upon it.
Below are summaries of three recent white papers added to our library. Click on the title to access the download page if you'd like to read the full white paper.
Walking Cinema: Murder on Beacon Hill
Center for Independent Documentary
Project Director: Michael Epstein
Abstract: The MURDER AT HARVARD MOBILE project (wt) [now known as "Walking Cinema: Murder on Beacon Hill"] will re-version a well-known NEH-funded historical documentary about a notorious 1849 Boston murder into the basis of a 40-minute audio/video walking tour that will be accessed through a hand-held device similar to the iPhone. By using the compelling story of a famous crime as its narrative spine, this project will provide student groups and cultural tourists with a layered look at the social and cultural history of some of Boston's most significant downtown areas while it provides a road map for use of open source Mobile Narrative Software. The project will start in September, 2008 and end in February, 2009.
High Dynamic Range Imaging for Preserving Chromaticity Information of Architectural Heritage
Texas A & M Research Foundation
Project Director: Wei Yan
Abstract: This proposal seeks to enhance the documentation of architectural heritage. Precise color information (i.e. chromaticity, excluding lighting effects) as an intrinsic property of materials has not been accurately documented in the scale of large surfaces for historical buildings. Every day the materials of historical buildings are decaying and their colors are fading. The colors we can see today will not be the same as future generations can see if we cannot preserve the chromaticity information. We propose to develop a method to assist in recording the chromaticity of historical buildings with low cost and high efficiency based on the emerging High Dynamic Range Imaging technology. The significance of it lies in that by recording the chromaticity information, we can achieve more complete documentation for historical buildings and can detect color change of the buildings when measurements are done in a regular basis, which will provide important information for preservation planning.
Encoding Names for Contextual Exploration in Digital Thematic Research Collections
Brown University
Project Director: Julia Flanders
Abstract: The Brown University Women Writers Project (WWP) seeks Level II funding from the NEH Digital Humanities Startup Grants program for a new project to explore new ways of representing contextual information that will support advanced kinds of user interaction with thematic research collections. In this project we will be focusing on the representation of persons and personal names. We will first examine methods of representing names and the persons they denote, considering in particular the kinds of scholarly work that such representations can support. We will next develop an experimental data representation of the names and persons found in our published collection, Women Writers Online (WWO). Finally, we will build a prototype interface that exposes this data for reader interaction and exploration. The result will be to embed the primary sources in an extensible web of contextual information that can support interface features such as searching, exploration, and pattern visualization.

To be successful, both businesses need someone who knows how and when to deploy each of his weapons —someone to construct and manage a well-adapted game plan for taking control of the ground. In football, they call that someone the offensive coordinator. In the landscape business they call him a contractor.
Weeds come at you from all angles, in all seasons—rain or shine, sleet or snow. They compete with grass for precious sunlight and soil nutrients, and they are resilient. Your goal is to control their advance. Improper weed control irks customers, damaging your professional reputation and leading to a potential loss of business. Fortunately, there are tried and true weapons in your offensive arsenal. Landscape professionals can and do win the ground game against weeds. All it takes is a little proper, prior planning.
Herbicides: your offensive line
The most effective way to curtail weeds is to block them before they've had a chance to sprout. Preemergent controls attack weeds while they're still seeds—essentially eliminating unwanted plants before they begin to germinate. A typical pre-emergent control program incorporates chemical or organic herbicides that create a seal over the top soil. That seal acts as a weed-prevention barrier zone. When employed correctly and in a timely fashion, pre-emergent herbicides penetrate one to two inches of topsoil and prevent the weeds from reaching the surface.
Even while dormant, weed seeds remain viable in the ground for a very long time. "There have been lots of studies done where they've excavated seeds in the soil and they can still germinate," says Mark Urbanowski, senior marketing specialist for Dow Agro-Sciences, Indianapolis, Indiana. "The seeds can stay underground for hundreds and hundreds of years."
Faced with such a tenacious opponent, you can't just apply a pre-emergent herbicide once and expect a pristine lawn to maintain its gleam in perpetuity. You need a calculated, annual or semi-annual approach to control.
Dollar-for-dollar, herbicides are the best weapon available in the pre-emergent ground game. For this reason, they remain the status quo in the industry. In the U.S., the chemicals pendimethalin, oryzalin, dithiopyr, prodiamine and siduron are the most common active herbicides used in pre-emergent controls.
When purchasing any turf treatment, be sure to peruse the label.
Chemical concentrations and product ingredients, even within a specific brand, have a tendency to change over time. Keep in mind that not all chemical herbicides are created equal; you need to take explicit care in deploying the appropriate chemical for your specific weed threat.
Weeds are commonly divided into four subgroups: grassy, broadleaf, summer and fall. The taxonomy of the weeds threatening your swath of turf weighs heavily on the relative efficacy of each herbicide, while seasonal distribution determines the timing and size of your application window.
Geography is another complicating factor. Soil temperature is the environmental signal for most weeds to begin sprouting. Due to variations in climate, different species of weed germinate at different times in different regions of the country. Pre-emergent application dates will vary, depending on the weed species common to your market.
When the time comes to formulate your pre-emergent game plan, intimate knowledge of the weeds that grow in your region and the seasons in which they germinate is an invaluable asset. With that knowledge in hand, you can purchase the appropriate herbicide for your project and turn your attention towards strategies for application.
Application: executing the playbook
Timing is everything. As the name implies, pre-emergent controls must be applied before the weeds begin to germinate to have any herbicidal effect. A common myth in the landscape business is that pre-emergent application should be timed to other events, such as the blooming of forsythias or daffodils. This misunderstanding results in thousands of wasted dollars every year and the unnecessary pollution of soils and nearby groundwater.
Jump the gun in the application of pre-emergent controls, and the herbicides are likely to take out more grass than weeds. Apply too late, and weed germination will neutralize any herbicidal effect. What you're left with is a small window for effective application that opens but twice a year: once for fall weeds and once for summer weeds.
A good rule of thumb is to circle the dates March 15 and September 15 on your calendar, if you're working in the colder climates. In the Sunbelt states and some areas in the West, you should circle January 30. Those are the dates that should anchor your analysis of when to apply pre-emergent herbicides. Remember that the key indicator in weed germination is soil temperature. You can't just make this call by the numbers; you need to account for Mother Nature. In the event of an unusually mild spring, you may have to move your application date by a few days.
"Dates are fine, in general," says Ken Klopp of LebanonTurf, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. "But climate conditions vary year by year, so it is important that applications of pre-emergent herbicide products be coordinated with soil temperatures and the type of weed, rather than just the date."
For better precision, take the soil's temperature. Summer weeds, in general, germinate once soil temperature reaches 50 degrees Fahrenheit. But there are no bright line rules in weed control, only general guidelines. Goosegrass, for example, germinates when soil temperatures reach 60 degrees Fahrenheit for three consecutive days. If you begin applying your pre-emergent controls when the soil reaches 50 degrees, and the ground temperature doesn't crack 60 for another month, goosegrass is likely to emerge. For reasons like this one, you can't overestimate the value of knowing exactly which weeds threaten your jobsites.
Once you've determined which weeds need to be controlled and when the treatment needs to begin, you can start mixing your herbicide. Pre-packaged pre-emergent products contain only trace amounts of active herbicide, making them an expensive and inefficient option for the landscape professional. A more economic approach is to purchase the chemicals in bulk and mix them with water until you achieve the appropriate spray concentration.
It is also important to note that pre-emergent controls must be watered into the ground after application. The watering process is integral to the formation of the weed-prevention barrier throughout the topsoil. Plan to water in your herbicide five to seven days prior to the anticipated weed germination date, so that the herbicidal barrier has time to settle.
After the barrier has settled, be careful not to take any action that runs the risk of penetrating the nascent shield. Aerating or otherwise puncturing the soil will create points of weakness in the weed-prevention zone. Aggressive and opportunistic weeds can detect these chinks in your armor and grow out through the aerated points.
The one bright spot in this morass of variable application dates and unpredictability is the relative consistency of problem locations. Savvy landscape professionals scout out their properties months beforehand, noting any weed-prone locations. If you identify the areas where weeds are likely to emerge, you can limit your application of herbicide to just those threatened plots and avoid saturating an entire yard.
Limiting the range of application is good business and good PR. even though the vast majority of chemical herbicides pose no health risk to animals or humans, some customers may still be skeptical of having their entire property saturated in weed killer. "There are negative preconceptions that go with chemical herbicides," says Mike Sisti, marketing manager for Lebanon Seaboard Corporation, Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
"But that's just not the case. When performed by a trained professional, they can really complement a smart ergonomic program."
Sometimes these assurances won't always be enough. Some of your clients won't like the idea of using these chemicals. In addition, if you're offering "green" service, chemical herbicides are out. For the organic-minded customer, there is another play.
Corn gluten meal: the organic option play
In 1985, Dr. Nick Christians, working out of Iowa State university, discovered that corn gluten meal displayed significant herbicidal effects when applied to otherwise un-treated turfgrass prior to weed emergence. Since Dr. Christians' experiments in the '80s, corn gluten meal (CGM) has become the primary option for organic pre-emergent weed control. A byproduct of corn used to feed livestock, CGM is 100percent nontoxic and a more effective pre-emergent control than standard mulch.
The nitrogen released by CGM is only effective against small-seeded annual and perennial weeds. It is commonly used in lawns, gardens and fields by private consumers. Landscape professionals tend to avoid CGM, due to its high cost, relative to chemical herbicides.
A good practice for your company might be to present the costs of the two weed control options side-by-side to your clients, and let them make the final decision. Property owners overly concerned with the spraying of chemicals on their lawns and gardens should be willing to pay the heftier fees for CGM.
You can apply CGM with a spreader or by hand in the early spring and fall. Overseeded lawns require CGM application at least six weeks before sowing or two weeks afterwards, so that the nitrogen released by the corn gluten doesn't interfere with the growth of desired grasses.
Responsibility for the ground game ultimately falls on you. Know your opponents and tailor your game plan and you'll be sure to walk away from the field with a win.
