What is Top Dressing Turf?
Top dressing is the act of applying a mixture of sand and compost to the already existing soil. It is applied to the turf in 1/8" to ¼" layers on top of the turf. This practice enriches the soil with more microbes, and helps to restore the balance of the soil and turf.
How Do You Top Dress a Lawn?
Choose the right materials in order to top dress your lawn. Different composts and sands have different nutrient levels. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you choose the right material for the type of lawn that you will be top dressing. For instance, a home lawn will be top dressed with compost while a golf green will be top dressed with sand.
Dethatch your lawn from any extra debris such as roots and stems.
Mow your lawn as low as you can without hurting the grass.
If your lawn needs it, perform core aeration.
Cover the lawn with top dressing at 1/8" to 1/4" thick. Make sure to fill in the holes if you have performed core aeration in the step before.
Make sure to evenly spread the top dressing so it touches the most possible amount of the lawn.
If you are going to overseed the turf, do this after you top dress the lawn.
Keep the soil consistently moist, but not too wet.
When it comes to top dressing a lawn, there are many factors that go into performing it correctly. When mixed with other efforts such as core aeration and overseeding, there needs to be the correct balance of each. Therefore, it is best to consult a professional such as Commonwealth Sports Turf in order to get the right type of advice and service.

A day before the release of his mixtape, "Wrath of Caine" (Jan. 28), Pusha T debuts his latest song, "Only You Can Tell It," exclusively on The Juice.
The Boogz and Tapez-produced track, featuring Wale, showcases both DMV rappers spitting their outlooks on the game. Check out the track below.
Last week, Pusha talked to Miss Info on collaborating with Wale on "Only You Can Tell It" when previewing a snippet of the song. "It's really good because we're both from the DMV area," he said. "He's known for his poetry and him just getting real deep, so me and him just collaborated on a record. It's just like, it's near and dear to me cause he's from the area."
The Virginia rapper also shared details on his upcoming mixtape. "It's something that I feel like has no boundaries, no parameters. I can do what I really, really want to do," he said of "Wrath of Caine." "It's not about more of a creative [decision]. I just think it's about more of what I want to hear for myself and what my fans want to hear. They want to hear lyrics. They want to hear street... it's just the whole street life perspective."
Pusha T has more in store for 2013. He's currently in the studio working on his solo effort, "My Name is My Name," which is expected to drop early this year.

J. R. Simplot Company
By Oliver Clothesoff, November 30, 2009 in Metal Heads
Oliver Clothesoff 158
The J. R. Simplot Company, commonly referred to as Simplot, was founded in 1923 by 14-year-old J. R. Simplot near the small agricultural community of Declo in south central Idaho. J. R. Simplot led his company to tremendous growth in the period between its founding and World War II. The business truly flourished when it sold millions of pounds of dehydrated onions and potatoes to the U.S. military during that war.
Perhaps the most important and defining feature of the Simplot company was the invention by one of Simplot's chemists, Ray L. Dunlap, of the necessary processes to produce quality frozen french fries. By the early 1960s it was the primary supplier of french fries to McDonald's; by 2005 it supplied more than half of all french fries for the fast food chain. Simplot also produces fertilizers for agriculture.
Simplot is now one of the largest privately owned companies in the world (ranked 59th in Private Companies by Forbes magazine in 2004) and has branches in Australia, Canada, Mexico, China, and several other regions. One of the major plants is in Caldwell, Idaho.
Butch Otter, current governor of Idaho, was employed by the company for 30 years and at one time served as head of its international division.
J. R. Simplot retired as president of his company in 1973, but remained involved for many years. He stepped down as chair of the board in 1994, and held the title of Chairman Emeritus until his death in 2008. In 2001, Simplot received an honorary degree[1] from Utah State University, honoring him for his many contributions to the agricultural industry of America and, particularly, the mountain west.

70' Cryogenic Reefer
The Cryo cars genrally refer to the CO2 refers that were common from the 1980's until a few years ago.
The early ones were rebuilds of 60' RBL's, insulated boxcars. Later Gunderson built 70' Smooth side Hi-Cube cars that Cryo Trans and GATX among others operated.
This was the car Walthers released in the 1990's with the Frost Cold Storage building. These cars were generally used with Frozen Foods loads, French Fries were a big cargo.
The liquid CO2 was pumped into a plenum in the top of the car, the pressure was lowered, and the CO2 changed to dry ice or "snow". The Dry Ice sublimed into CO2 gas which kept the contents cold.
The improvements in the Mechanical refrigeration systems, as well increases in the price of CO2, and the difficulty in getting the cars recharged in transit if delayed, killed the concept.
Most of the modern 70' Cryotrans fleet has been converted to Mechanical refrigerator cars, with conventonal refer units inset on the A end.
There are a few of the CO2 cars left in service, Simplott still uses them on shipments from Portage la Prarie Manitoba.
Another refrigeration system uses liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) for cooling.
This cryogenic concept was developed in response to rising fuel costs,
and was an attempt to find an alternative to the standard mechanical refrigeration systems requiring maintenance, fuel and creating emissions.
The CO2 reefer system can keep the container's cargo frozen solid as long as 30 days.
New "cryogenic" reefers are in service transporting frozen foodstuffs, but they have yet to gain wide acceptance (due, in part, to the cost of liquid carbon dioxide).
Since cryogenic refrigeration is a proven technology and environmentally friendly,
the rising price of fuel and the increased availability of carbon dioxide from Kyoto Protocol-induced capturing techniques may lead to common usage of cryogenic containers, especially in intermodal trade.
The cryogenic reefer container can be stored anywhere on any vessel that can accommodate "dry" (un-refrigerated) ocean freight containers.
This is vitally important to the vessel operator because a typical dry freight load does not generate nearly the revenue of a refrigerated shipment.
They can use many modes of transportation without an outside power source or a mechanical breakdown. Because a cryogenic reefer container doesn't need to be plugged in to a power source,
it can be shipped anywhere, without electricity or fuel.
This CO2 refrigeration technology has been used in railcars for years. The system has proven to be safe and reliable.

Sweet. Ever see the City Confidential on the Simplot murder? Good one..

Many students in North Minneapolis believe their housing instability has set them up for failure.
Kristel Porter knew the best bridges to sleep under. When she was in her mid 20s she was knee-deep into her political science degree at Augsburg University while providing for her three kids.
After her classes finished for the day, she might put the key in the ignition of her 1993 Chevy Lumina just to drive, just for the sake of passing time the way streetlights change from green to yellow to red. Sometimes she drove to lull her one-year-old baby, Gilbert, to sleep for the night. Other time she drove to give her two daughters, Kylia and Kaitlyn, a reason to forget what they were all going through.
She couldn't afford a $1,400 apartment as a full-time student, and she couldn't find a landlord who would cut her a break. For seven months, they lived in their car. During that time Kristel's GPA fell from a 4.0 to a 3.1. Her daughters didn't have the energy to worry about school amid insecurity and inconsistency.
After those seven months, Kristel finished her degree and received the keys to her duplex, a humble spot on James Ave. N, right across the street from a playground, on April 14, 2013. It was just in time for Gilbert's second birthday, so they celebrated on the hardwood floor and were "happy as hell," said Kristel.
Despite their current stability, Kylia and Kaitlyn say their education has suffered from the ramifications of those years when they struggled with housing. The Porter family's experiences are emblematic of a larger struggle experienced by many families in Minneapolis – how does one prioritize their education when their basic needs aren't being met?
During their months of homelessness, the Porter children were three of thousands of homeless children in the City. Minneapolis Public Schools' (MPS) most recent data from the 2016-17 school year estimates that 8.2% of their students are homeless, most living in shelters, hotels, and abandoned and public spaces. The majority – 74% – are black. Preschoolers are more likely than any other age group to be without a home.
Felder says she has encountered youth housing struggles throughout her life – both as a child growing up in North Minneapolis and as a public official in the district.
She says she recently met a North Minneapolis high school student who "sleeps from couch to couch and occasionally in abandoned homes." She says he is on the B honor roll but "should have been on the A honor roll." The stress of his daily life kept him from achieving his full academic potential. Fear of the system kept him from seeking help.
To support their families who struggle with housing, the MPS board recently passed two resolutions related to housing. "Resolutions are great, but resolutions are words," Felder said.
"I think about things long term and I don't think we're doing that right now. We have to think long term growth," said Felder.
North High School history teacher Tom Lachermeier, a Northside resident, is frustrated with the gentrification that he sees swallowing up affordable housing opportunities and displacing many of his students. It doesn't matter if a kid has potential when they don't know where they're going sleep at night.
Every time a student moves, Lachermeier says, their education is disrupted. It's not right. And it's not fair for families to get to the point in which compromising their child's education is the only option.
Kristel's oldest daughter, Kylia, now 19, failed her freshman year of high school. She graduated with a 2.0 GPA. She spent her high school years trying to live up to the pressure of chipping in what she could to help her mom pay the rent. She worked more than a high school girl should ever have to work. And her grades suffered because of it.
Today, Kristel Porter is an advocate in both her personal and professional life for those who struggle to secure stable housing.
She is the executive director of the Cleveland Neighbohood Association (CNA), which hosted its third annual North Housing Fair on March 24.
She's also a landlord who owns a duplex and takes in homeless people for below market rate rent until they're able to buy a house of their own. So far, she says she has taken seven people out of homelessness, including one of her daughter's friends, a senior at North High, who lives with Kylia, and Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn's boyfriend Amadeus Cornejo, and their daughter, six month old Luna. They rent the space from Kristel, who bought the property for $73,000.
Kaitlyn, who is Kristel's oldest daughter, loves school. She's a self-proclaimed nerd. An artist, like her big sister.
She has everything going for her, and quite a bit going against her. She's got a place to stay, with heat and running water and a stove. She's got Cornejo, and she's got a free daycare provider at school for her daughter, who is – without question – the best thing that's ever happened to her.
But her life is clouded with could-have-beens. If she weren't homeless for seven months, she could have developed better learning habits. If she had lived in the same home all her life, she could have formed friendships without worrying when the eviction notice would come. If she hadn't contracted a series of health hiccups – E. Coli and pneumonia and a kidney infection during her pregnancy – she could have had a shot at a dance scholarship that would have easily sent her floating towards a four-year college degree.
"That's not bragging, girl," her sister, Kylia responds.

Sept 27: Dixie De La Tour Brings Us Bawdy Storytelling: True Stories of Sexual Adventure
This Friday on Sex Out Loud, your ears are in for a special treat: Dixie De La Tour brings us sexy stories about sexy stories! Bawdy Storytelling – dubbed "The Moth for Pervs" by the LA Weekly – is the Nation's Original Sex+Storytelling series. Founded, Emcee'ed and Curated by Dixie De La Tour, Bawdy features Real people & Rockstars sharing their Bona Fide Sexual Exploits in 10 minutes or less. For the past (almost) 7 years, Bawdy Storytelling's one-of-a-kind approach to sexpositive personal narrative has coaxed liberating tales out of everyday people, creating unforgettable experiences for performers and audiences alike. We'll talk to Dixie about how the event came into being and hear exclusive excerpts from a live performance.
Sexual Folklorist Dixie De La Tour founded Bawdy Storytelling, (the Nation's Original sex and storytelling series featuring Real People & Rockstars) almost 7 years ago as a way to encourage real connection in San Francisco's sexual underground. All in all, she's been welcoming newcomers to San Francisco's sexual underground for over 15 years (De La Tour, as in Tour Guide) – from creating, producing, volunteering for and managing sex positive events, to producing private parties, to teaching workshops, writing about sex & dating, community managing adult dating sites and much more. Dixie hopes to build Bawdy Storytelling into a national event because sexpositive community starts with a personal story; Storytelling makes sex education fun and entertaining and makes it a little harder to judge other people for their choices – listening to just one person's story can start you down the road to empathy and acceptance for the 'other.'
The Bawdy Events 'trifecta' includes Bawdy Storytelling (the curated mainstage storytelling event which features a different theme for each show) and Dixie also produces BawdySlam (a monthly story slam/competition in San Francisco & Los Angeles, with pervy prizes and the opportunity to compete in the Bawdy GrandSlam – that's coming up in late October in SF and coming soon in LA) and she's about to launch BawdyTalks (an sexuality-based event like TEDTalks). She also teaches workshops like Fearless Storytelling & Storytelling for Perverts– both of which feature the unique storytelling method she's developed to help even the shyest person feel confident (yes, even Dixie had a fear of public speaking in the beginning, & what worked for her has now enabled hundreds of Bawdy Storytellers to face their fears, step onstage & share their sexual journey).

July 26: Petra Joy on Art-Core Films and Sex from a Female Perspective
Petra Joy is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer, and journalist who currently lives and works in England and makes "art-core" films from a female perspective. This Friday on Sex Out Loud at 5pm PT / 8 pm ET, she'll discuss Sexual Sushi, the first film she produced and directed, as well as Her Porn, a series she began in 2008 to give fellow female directors a place to collect and distribute their work. Petra Joy will also discuss the Joy Awards, her ongoing collaboration with Candida Royalle and the impending launch of Cinema Joy, her own eclectic Video On Demand channel streaming with her own erotic films as well as films by other feminist porn directors whose work she loves.
After graduating in 1990 with an MA in film studies and history, Petra Joy worked for almost two decades as a freelance television director producing over 50 documentaries, mostly on (female) sexuality. This work took her to England where she still resides. In 2004, Petra produced and directed her first erotic film, Sexual Sushi . This unique erotic film, featuring a real-life couple and an artistic approach to erotic filmmaking, became a surprise success – even though or because it broke all the mainstream porn rules. Encouraged by this success Petra directed to date four more "art-core" films from a female perspective (Female Fantasies, Feeling it, The Female Voyeur, A Taste of Joy) that won multiple awards all over the world.
Finding similar-minded female directors through festival appearances and networking, Petra began to curate and publish the best-selling Her Porn series in 2008, giving fellow female directors a place to collect and distribute their work that may otherwise have gone unnoticed by many. Encouraged by the idea of promoting existing female directors, as well as wanting to mentor new ones, she created the Petra Joy Awards in 2009, a short film competition for first-time erotic film directors.
Petra continues to make headlines with her autobiographical book The She Pornographer. Female Fantasies: My Revolution Of Lust which was published by Heyne in Germany in June 2012.

Mar 1: Joan Price Gives Straight Talk on Senior Sex and Ageless Erotica
This Friday on Sex Out Loud I talk with Joan Price, author, editor, and ageless sexuality advocate. Joan will discuss her book Better Than I Ever Expected which first got her named "the senior sexpert" and her latest book, Naked At Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex. We'll get a sneak preview of her presentation at Catalyst Con in Washington DC in a couple weeks, as well the scoop on the latest anthology she edited, Ageless Erotica, a collection of hot stories where age is no limitation to getting busy.
Joan Price (www.joanprice.com) calls herself an advocate for ageless sexuality, though she has also been dubbed "senior sexpert," "the beautiful face of senior sex," and "wrinkly sex kitten" by the media. Joan, age 69, has been writing, speaking, and blogging about senior sex since 2005. Formerly a health & fitness writer, she switched topics to senior sex when she wrote her spicy memoir, Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty, to celebrate the joys of older-age sexuality. Her blog (www.NakedAtOurAge.com) attracted a growing community of sex-positive (and sex-inquisitive) seniors who sent Joan their stories and questions. This led to her next book in 2011: Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex, a compilation of 130 reader stories, advice from 45 experts, and Joan's candid commentary. Naked at Our Age won Outstanding Self-Help Book 2012 from the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) and 2012 Book Award from the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, and the audiobook was nominated for an Audie in 2013. She recently edited a steamy senior sex anthology titled Ageless Erotica. Visit Joan's zesty, award-winning blog about sex and aging at http://www.NakedAtOurAge.com, where Joan continues to talk out loud about Boomer/senior sex, partnered or solo.

Sometimes She Lets Me: Now An Audio Book
I am so thrilled to announce the release of the audio book version of my Lambda Literary Award-winning anthology Sometimes She Lets Me: Best Butch/Femme Erotica. It's available on Amazon and Audible (you can even listen to a sample at Audible). First, I am just excited that the audio book market has really exploded recently, and audio book versions of several of my books have already been produced, including Best Lesbian Erotica 2007, Best Lesbian Erotica 2009, Best of the Best Lesbian Erotica, Hot Lesbian Erotica, and Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships (and coming soon: Down and Dirty Sex Secrets!). I think erotica books make especially good material for audio (of course) and queer erotica is where I got my start so it's close to my heart. But what makes this one extra special is that I co-produced and narrated it! That's right, here's your chance to hear more than 7 hours of me talking dirty to you, reading smutty stories by folks like S. Bear Bergman, Toni Amato, D. Alexandria, Peggy Munson, Sinclair Sexsmith, Elaine Miller, Amie M. Evans, Alison Smith, and more. You'll hear tales of the new femme in town and the butch pastry chef, the cop who passes as a guy and picks up straight girls at hip hop clubs, porn-watching butches who can't keep their hands off each other, a sexy game of hide and seek in the woods, what happens when a femme trolls the personals for a date, one girl's revenge on sweet-talking butches, a threesome with a power couple, girl-on-girl lipstick smearing, poetic public sex and some particularly incendiary roleplay. The stories are filled with dominant Daddies, butches with swagger, fierce femmes, strippers and sex workers, longtime lovers, femme tops, and plenty more. I promise you: it's a good time! My producer and engineer on this project is a superstar in his own right: Dylan Keefe. Dylan is part of the team of geniuses who work on public radio show Radiolab and the bass player for Marcy Playground, an awesome 90s band famous for the song "Sex and Candy." Dylan and I had so much fun in the studio together recording this, and we hope to collaborate on more projects together. I hope you'll check it out, tell your friends, and enjoy this porn for your ears!

My appearance on Afroerotik, plus new review of the Expert Guide to Pegging
I recently appeared on the podcast Afroerotik, along with Dr. Cherie Ann Turpin, to have an in-depth conversation about race and sexuality. We talked about the implications and effects of continued stereotypes and racism in the adult industry and the how it affects perceptions in society. If you missed it, go listen to it now!
There's a great new detailed review of my DVD the Expert Guide to Pegging on the blog Sex, Chocolate, and Other Things Geeky.
Take it slow. Talk to your partner. And don't forget, just because you start off with strap-on play, doesn't mean you have to end there, also, just because you start with anything else, doesn't mean you can't end with strap-on play.
(Thanks Jen!)

news, local-news,
After an unprecedented and ongoing fire season, the Blue Mountains Conservation Society has called on the state and federal government to take "immediate action to mitigate rapid climate change" and fully fund National Parks and Wildlife Service to bring in a comprehensive recovery plan for the region. The news comes as Premier Gladys Berejiklian has today announced an independent expert inquiry into the 2019-20 bushfire season to provide input to NSW ahead of the next bushfire season. Dave Owens, former Deputy Commissioner of NSW Police, and Professor Mary O'Kane AC, Independent Planning Commission Chair and former NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer, will lead the six-month inquiry, which will review the causes of, preparation for and response to the 2019-20 bushfires. Conservation Society vice president, Madi Maclean, said with almost 80 per cent of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area (GBMWHA) burnt (more than 838,000 hectares) and 140 million reptiles, birds and mammals (excluding bats) impacted locally, governments could no longer ignore the impacts of a rapidly changing climate and extreme drought being played out on the biodiversity of the GBMWHA. She said governments must set out what needs to be done to address the massive impacts on plants, animals and the forested environment across Australia, with a full assessment of the fires' impacts locally and a comprehensive well-funded recovery plan, based on evidence and scientific expertise. "We urgently need action to ensure the remaining 20 per cent is protected ... whatever is unburnt at the end of the fire season will be precious ...as it is a seed bank to restore the 80 per cent and also acts as a refuge for wildlife," she said. "Biodiversity protection and recovery must be the fundamental goal," she said. Ms Maclean said that required real action based on evidence and scientific expertise. The Society was concerned genetic diversity in the area will be "greatly reduced, species may be lost" without action. "Many species, and possibly ecological communities, will be locally threatened. Our world renowned biodiversity is at risk and it's imperative we work to restore and protect it." Increased resources and funding to control feral animals and invasive species was also urgently needed. The Society has also asked the government to support "public servants to be able to speak freely at any inquiries which may be set up. We want to see those ground rules," Ms Maclean said. The recovery plan should include: comprehensive fire intensity mapping; recognising the scale of the fires may take longer and the funding should provide for this; increased funding for Parks biodiversity staff and naturalists; identifying unburnt areas which have provided refuge but, in the current situation, may be compromised by ongoing drought and extraordinary temperatures; identifying adjacent high conservation value lands which could assist recovery; assessment of how fire behaved in existing hazard reduced areas and specifically addressing the impacts of the fires on the Outstanding Universal Values of the GBMWHA (the reason for its World Heritage recognition). The statement on bushfires is on the Society's website: www.bluemountains.org.au The Premier's inquiry will commence within days and accept submissions from the public. It will consider:

Restaurant Thirty Six at Dukes Hotel – review
Think about Old London and what scene comes to mind? Fog, intertwined alleys and hidden courtyards, probably. Iron railings, warm brick, brass plaques. And hotels: yes, every Edwardian writer seemed to talk about hotels. They were the acceptable places in which to meet friends and to dine, when restaurants were less numerous than they are…
Thomas Jefferson's Crème Brûlée by Thomas J. Craughwell – review

We want comforting food. It's cold and wintery and the economic climate isn't that hot either. It's time to get back to those old-fashioned values. Gennaro Contaldo introduces us to his Italian family favourites in Let's Cook Italian. They do travel rather well, and they are delicious. Gennaro often graces our TV screens, sometimes in…
The Turkish Cookbook by Nur Ilkin and Sheilah Kaufman – review
Turkish cuisine is considered by many to be one of the classics.

The…
The Great Northern Cookbook by Sean Wilson – review
The author of The Great Northern Cookbook, is Sean Wilson. Yes, that's a familiar name, or at least it is if you have been a follower of that celebrated Northern institution, Coronation Street.

Brompton Bar & Grill, London – restaurant review
(This restaurant has now closed) This has become, after just one visit, a favourite restaurant. Brompton Bar & Grill is a confident and classic establishment with all those attributes for which we search, mostly in vain, across the Channel. Phrases like 'you can't eat like that in England' and 'nobody does a steak like the…

Ivy Roost Cottage, New Forest – travel review
My first taste of self-catering was as a 7-year-old and it did rather taint my expectations of that style of holiday for the following half-century. It was a 'chalet' (3-metre square prefab) in Sackets Grove. It had a wealth of ornithological interest, being situated next to Clacton's municipal dump which was the feeding ground for…
The Last Concubine by Lesley Downer – review
There will be many UK readers who will remember Lesley Downer not for her books, although there have been many, but for her enlightening and absorbing TV series in which she introduced Japan to British viewers. It was the first programme of its kind and I don't think it has been rivalled since for its…

Hotel Mattress Firmness – What Are This Year's Best Mattresses?
A lot of people claim, that Puffy Mattress is without a doubt, among the most comfortable mattresses available. They often compare it to like sleeping on a cloud.Also, customers suffering from back pain, say that they feel relief with Puffy's Adaptive Flexible Cloud Technology. With Puffy, you receive both a 101 night sleep trial, along with a lifetime warranty.
The milder side of the mattress consists of 3 inches of copper infused memory foam. It's a 3.5lb density, and is an extremely comfortable layer.This is a pretty thick layer of memory foam, which is a soft fabric that will permit the sleeper to sink for pressure relief.
Nest Bedding actually holds the award for both the Best Rated and Best Ranked brand online. They really thrive from the customer satisfaction. They offer a lifetime guarantee, as well as a lifetime comfort guarantee.
Nest Bedding comes in several different firmness options. Almost too many. They consist of a latex, 2 memory foam and 3 hybrid choices in their lineup. To be sure, you can find the mattress that is the best option for you.Therefore it doesn't matter if you're thicker, lighter, sleep on your side, or you cope with chronic pain. Nest can fit your own preferences.
The 2 biggest aspects when looking to purchase a new mattress, is relaxation and support.There are a number of things which should take place when you lie down. You want the sinkage and contour to be appropriate, for proper spine alignment. You also need a mattress to correctly support your entire body, as you sleep at night. It's imperative to have proper alignment from top to bottom as you sleep. This is necessary to make certain that you receive a healthy rest, and to ensure you are reducing your back and neck pain. While being supportive of your own body, a suitable mattress must provide stress relief. The stress points on your body are precisely what is in control of you thrashing through the evening. Memory Foam mattresses have made their way into the spotlight, by not only being comfortable, but as both supportive.
This is along the same lines, as when we talk about comfort and support. Exactly like a mattress shouldn't be too hard, it should also never be too soft.A mattress should be as neutral as it can be, to ensure both your body and spine remain in a neutral position.Too much rigidity in a mattress will irritate the stress variables, creating pinched nerves, in addition to the blood to stop flowing. If you find that a lot of the times you awake, with the feeling of getting pins and needles in your body, this is an indicator of a mattress that is too rigid. And if your mattress is too soft, this can create a sagging effect, similar to a hammock. When this happens, you can find yourself with back pain, because of your spine not being correctly aligned.This is why it's imperative to find a mattress that is close to neutral. You want your mattress soft at the proper places, without being overly soft. However, you also need your mattress to be supportive, without being overly rigid.

Niche in Back Wall of Shah-i Zindah Mosque. Samarkand
The Shah-i Zindah (Persian for "living king") necropolis is located at the outskirts of Samarkand. Situated on an ancient burial ground, it is revered as a memorial to Kusam-ibn-Abbas, a cousin of the Prophet Muhammad. Shown here is the main peshtak (facade arch) of a mausoleum built in 1361 adjacent to the Kusam-ibn-Abbas shrine. Although its patron has not been identified, it was apparently intended for a prominent noblewoman. In addition to ceramic mosaics, the mausoleum has glazed carved terra-cotta columns and panels with intricate floral, geometric, and inscriptional designs. Curving tendrils link floral patterns, including the lotus blossom. Above the bricked portal is an inscription panel, and the arch niche culminates in a complex geometric design. The image is by Russian photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863–1944), who used a special color photography process to create a visual record of the Russian Empire in the early 20th century. Some of Prokudin-Gorskii's photographs date from about 1905, but the bulk of his work is from between 1909 and 1915, when, with the support of Tsar Nicholas II and the Ministry of Transportation, he undertook extended trips through many different parts of the empire. In 1911 he made two trips to Turkestan (present-day Uzbekistan and neighboring states), where he devoted special attention to monuments of Islamic architecture.

During the past week my husband and I have been scheming. We've developed a plan to pay off our remaining debt (funny how having a child can completely derail your life for awhile) and get our house ready to sell sometime next year. With our son starting kindergarten this fall in a school system that is beyond inadequate, it's time to consider one of the many nice communities around Lansing (all with highly rated school systems and lower crime rates) for our next house. We want something bigger with a larger yard further away from busy streets now that we have a little guy who is keen on spreading his wings a bit. And we have the plan in place to help us make it happen.
Here's why a plan is essential to an undertaking like this. If you have a long term goal that's big, you are far more likely to be successful if you break it down into smaller goals. A plan helps keep you on track, marking completion of the little goals and constantly reminding you of the ultimate goal. And it shows you how far you are toward accomplishing it.
The plan can seem restrictive. When you're paying down debt, for instance, you need to be strict with yourself to keep from veering off course. Yes, it would be super fun to go out to eat twice a week, but we have our future house to think of. Yes, it would be great to go on vacation this summer, but we have our son's education and safety to think of. Yes, I would like to make goat cheese and gourmet olives part of my daily caloric intake, but I have a goal that is bigger than goat cheese.
And when you don't have a plan in place that shows you exactly how and when you will accomplish your goal, it's really easy to wander off track. Just for a while, we tell ourselves, but then one day runs into another and another and another and we can find that we are still as far from accomplishing that goal as when we started.
The same is true (I am finding) in writing. I have a lot of novels started, but only one finished. I have a lot of ideas, but I can't bring them all to fruition at once. So I need both an end goal (write a novel) and a real, concrete plan to get there. I currently have my next novel planned out with Scrivener, and I have set dates by which each scene should be written (two per week) and an average word count goal for each scene. Following this schedule, I will have the first draft written by mid-September, I will write the proposal in October, and I will revise the draft in November. By the end of the year, I will be thinking about shopping it.
The mere thought of a schedule may make some of you cringe. But for me, for now, it is what is going to help me reach a goal.
Where's the freedom in that, you may ask? It takes a lot of pressure and negativity off of me because I know if I simply follow it, I will reach the goal. I don't have to continually rethink and re-strategize. It frees me to say no to other things so that I can focus on writing. It allows me to be happy with just 1700 words in a writing session because that is all that is required of me at a time. I can write 10,000 in a day, but I really only have to write 1700 twice a week. Freedom to pace myself.
In five months I'll have my next novel drafted. In a year we'll put our house on the market. We have our plans in motion and all we have to do is stick to them.
Have you planned how you will reach your writing or other creative goals?
Great post. I too have been pacing myself with what I would like to accomplish. One goal that I have always wanted to do it read through the Bible. I found a site on line that maps it out into easy little increments that can easily be accomplished. And even better, it's bookmarked on my phone so I can read whenever and wherever!
I completely agree, as does my very creative husband. He often quotes the gifted adman Norman Berry: "Give me the freedom of a tightly defined stratgey." Sadly for me, belief and action are not always connected. Thanks for this great reminder.

There's trouble at mill
RESIDENTS have hit out at planners after they gave the green light to build 66 apartments in and around a derelict Bollington mill.
The borough's planning committee discussed the proposal for nearly two hours before giving consent subject to approval by the Government Office North West and a satisfactory report from the Environment Agency.
But residents who live near Ingersley Vale Mill in Bollington are frustrated and intend to mount further opposition.
Lynn Daley, 58, of Church Street, said: "The apartment and town house design is totally out of keep with the area – in the end it will look like a 1960s slum. The amount of traffic along Church Street will be awful, it's going to be a catastrophe and we are going to have to carry on living here."
Despite being situated in the Rainow parish, the mill is only accessible by vehicle from the Bollington side. Bollington Town Council expressed concerns overtraffic congestion and flood risk but supported the application. The mill is set to be converted into 24 apartments while 24 additional apartments and 18 townhouses with landscaping and car parking will be built on the site.
Tim Boddington, chairman of Bollington Civic Society, said: "It is a derelict site and we want something done about it. Getting it cleared up and developed will be a good thing."
Bollington resident John Barratt, whose company Ingersley Vale LLP is behind the project, said: "This is positive for Bollington and Rainow. We are getting rid of an eyesore and a haven for drug addicts."

Q: How can my ANTLR parser (not lexer) trigger a lexical "include" (not AST splice)? The ANTLR website describes two approaches to implementing "include" directives. The first approach is to recognize the directive in the lexer and include the file lexically (by pushing the CharStream onto a stack and replacing it with one that reads the new file); the second is to recognize the directive in the parser, launch a sub-parser to parse the new file, and splice in the AST generated by the sub-parser. Neither of these are quite what I need.
In the language I'm parsing, recognizing the directive in the lexer is impractical for a few reasons:

*

*There is no self-contained character pattern that always means "this is an include directive". For example, Include "foo"; at top level is an include directive, but in Array bar --> Include "foo"; or Constant Include "foo"; the word Include is an identifier.

*The name of the file to include may be given as a string or as a constant identifier, and such constants can be defined with arbitrarily complex expressions.

So I want to trigger the inclusion from the parser. But to perform the inclusion, I can't launch a sub-parser and splice the AST together; I have to splice the tokens. It's legal for a block to begin with { in the main file and be terminated by } in the included file. A file included inside a function can even close the function definition and start a new one.
It seems like I'll need something like the first approach but at the level of TokenStreams instead of CharStreams. Is that a viable approach? How much state would I need to keep on the stack, and how would I make the parser switch back to the original token stream instead of terminating when it hits EOF? Or is there a better way to handle this?
==========
Here's an example of the language, demonstrating that blocks opened in the main file can be closed in the included file (and vice versa). Note that the # before Include is required when the directive is inside a function, but optional outside.
main.inf:

[ Main;
  print "This is Main!";
  if (0) {
  #include "other.h";
  print "This is OtherFunction!";
];

other.h:

  } ! end if
];  ! end Main

[ OtherFunction;

A: A possibility is for each Include statement to let your parser create a new instance of your lexer and insert these new tokens the lexer creates at the index the parser is currently at (see the insertTokens(...) method in the parser's @members block.).
Here's a quick demo:
Inform6.g

  F_CALL;

}

@parser::members {
  private Map<String, String> memory = new HashMap<String, String>();

  private void putInMemory(String key, String str) {
    String value;
    if(str.startsWith("\"")) {
      value = str.substring(1, str.length() - 1);
    }
    else {
      value = memory.get(str);
    }
    memory.put(key, value);
  }

  private void insertTokens(String fileName) {
    // possibly strip quotes from `fileName` in case it's a Str-token
    try {
      CommonTokenStream thatStream = new CommonTokenStream(new Inform6Lexer(new ANTLRFileStream(fileName)));
      thatStream.fill();
      List extraTokens = thatStream.getTokens();
      extraTokens.remove(extraTokens.size() - 1); // remove EOF
      CommonTokenStream thisStream = (CommonTokenStream)this.getTokenStream();
      thisStream.getTokens().addAll(thisStream.index(), extraTokens);
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

The output you'll see corresponds to the following AST:

The World Wide Web is not as overwhelming as it sounds. Simply put, it is an effective way of exchanging information much the same way as the global telephone network. Just like a spider web, the web links together a collection of electronic documents, which can be accessed and utilized in different ways by Internet users all over the world. The World Wide Web forms a part of the Internet, which lets you access information in the form of words, sound, pictures and video.
People search the Web or surf the Internet for different reasons and in search of different thing. There are some Internet activities that are very popular among individuals who use the Web.
Looking for information: The web is vast and contains enormous amounts of information on just about any topic you can think of. You can find any information you are looking for if you know where to look. One of the best ways of retrieving information on the web is by using search engines, which are gigantic databases of information. While search engines may not necessarily contain the required information themselves, they can lead you to the URL or the address where you will find what you are looking for.
Online Shopping: With online shopping, shoppers no longer need to go from store to store looking for what they want. The World Wide Web offers online shoppers the convenience of looking for any product or service they may want right from the comfort and convenience of their home. Shopping for rare items and discounted items or specialized products online is safe, convenient and easy.
Searching for people: One of the most popular of internet activities is trying to find a person. Internet browsers could be searching for a lost relative or detailed information about famous celebrities. Most of the time, this information is given absolutely free of charge.
Downloading music and movies: There are many sites that allow Internet surfers to download their favorite movie or music free of charge. Some sites charge a small fee.
The Internet is a great place for making money and there are many ways to do it. Buying and selling products or services on the Internet is referred to as e-commerce. There are some e-commerce sites that sell hard goods such as exercise machines, cameras or children's toys.
Other e-commerce sites sell information or services.
If you intend to sell anything on the Internet iyou would requires a website where customers can browse through products and decide what they want. Developing an E-commerce site for the purpose of selling products is different from building a non-commercial website where information is exchanged free of cost. Besides the regular essentials such as graphics software and site building software, an e-commerce site also requires a shopping cart and a payment gateway.
Install anti-virus software on your computer. There are many anti-virus programs that are available free of charge on the Internet. These identify and block potentially dangerous virus from harming your computer.
Protect all your documents and applications with strong passwords that use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation.
Be careful when furnishing your personal information including telephone number or physical address to anyone.
Be careful who you give your financial information to, especially when using a credit card.
Do not get tempted by offers showing you how to make money fast. There are a few genuine schemes but plenty of scams. You do not want to know what it was.
Do not trust everybody who you meet online. Using the secrecy of the internet, many individuals easily masquerade as some one else with malicious intent.
It is important to remember that all the information that is contained in the World Wide Web is not necessarily true.
A Rose By Any Other Name May Smell as Sweet – But Do YOUR File Names Stink?

World War Two military camp and air raid shelter, Myngs Terrace
A small military camp is visible on aerial photographs to the rear of the now demolished Myngs Terrace on Purdy Street, Salthouse. Catriona Court now sits on the location of the site. The site consists of military huts, possible defensive structures and air raid shelters. This camp was used as a German prisoner of war camp between August and September 1947. A semi-sunken, Stanton type shelter, with parabolic modular pre-cast concrete panels, survived at the site until 1997.

A small military camp is visible on aerial photographs (S3) to the rear of the now demolished Myngs Terrace on Purdy Street, Salthouse. Catriona Court now sits on the location of the site. The site consists of military huts, structures and air raid shelters. The camp was originally used by the RAF and then taken over by the army (S2). This camp was also used as a German prisoner of war camp between August and September 1947 (S2). Approximately 100 hundred German prisoners of war are said to have arrived in the area in 1946 and were put to work clearing mines from Blakeney to Mundesley (S2).
Three quite substantial structures are located at TG 0735 4368, TG 0735 4370 and TG 0737 4372. The largest of these measures 15m by 5m, the other two measuring 12m by 5m. Clustered around the eastern end of the site are seven curved profile huts, measuring approximately 9m by 3m. These are likely to be temporary structures and are probably nissen huts. These are located at TG 0736 4367, TG 0737 4367, TG 0738 4370, TG 0737 4369, TG 0738 4371, TG 0739 4372, TG 0739 4373 and TG 0738 4373.
Several other structures have a more pointed roof profile and measuring approximately 10-11m by 4-5m. These are located at TG 0735 4366, TG 0732 4366, TG 0733 4368, TG 0733 4370 and TG 0734 4371. The pointed profile of these structures is consistent with the shape of the Stanton air raid shelters. At least one Stanton shelter survived on the site until relatively recently. These are likely to have been the shelters for the inhabitants of Salthouse and any military personnel stationed within the area. Several small concrete structures of unknown function are visible. A 5m square structure is located amongst the huts at TG 0737 4377 and another rectangular structure is positioned to the far north west of the site at TG 0731 4372, measuring 6m by 4m. The more isolated position of this structure may indicate that it is a pillbox. The structures on the site are linked together by a series of roads, paths and concrete surfaces. S. Massey (NMP), 24 March 2003.
In 1946 this was the site of an army camp, see (S2). Could the shelter be post-war? Myngs Terrace itself was of interest as housing constructed to provide accommodation for those made homeless by the 1953 floods.

GOP politicians look to protect drivers who hit protesters
By Sean Murphy
New York Police Department (NYPD) officers surround a car after it struck multiple Black Lives Matter protesters December 11, 2020 that were gathered at the intersection of East 39th Street and 3rd Avenue in New York. (Photo by TIMOTHY A. CLARY / AFP
OKLAHOMA CITY - When massive demonstrations against racial injustice erupted across the nation last summer, protesters used an increasingly common tactic to draw attention to their cause: swarming out onto major roads to temporarily paralyze traffic.
This method sometimes resulted in searing images of drivers plowing through crowds, causing serious injuries and in some cases, deaths.
Now, Republican politicians across the country are moving to stop the road-blocking maneuver, proposing increased penalties for demonstrators who run onto highways and legal immunity for drivers who hit them. The bills are among dozens introduced in Legislatures aimed at cracking down on demonstrations.
RELATED: Car hits protesters in Manhattan
"It's not going to be a peaceful protest if you're impeding the freedom of others," said Rep. Kevin McDugle, the author of an Oklahoma bill granting criminal and civil immunity to people who drive into crowds on roads. "The driver of that truck had his family in there, and they were scared to death."
He referred to an incident in July in which a pickup truck pulling a horse trailer drove through Black Lives Matter protesters on Interstate 244 in Tulsa. Three people were seriously injured, including a 33-year-old man who fell from an overpass and was left paralyzed from the waist down.
Tumultuous demonstrations by left-leaning and right-leaning groups have stirred new debate about what tactics are acceptable free speech and which go too far. In addition to blocking roads, Black Lives Matter demonstrators have taken over parks and painted slogans on streets and structures, while right-wing groups have brandished firearms and stormed capitol buildings. Local authorities' responses have wavered as they try to avoid escalating conflicts.
Now legislators in Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Utah and about a dozen other states have introduced new counterprotest measures.
The traffic-blocking tactic has attracted the most concern because of the obvious hazard.
In one particularly chilling incident in Minneapolis, a large tanker truck drove at high speed through thousands of protesters gathered on a closed highway. Remarkably, no one was seriously hurt, though a criminal complaint says at least one protester suffered abrasions.
Mark Faulk, a longtime Oklahoma activist who was arrested last year for blocking a roadway, said dramatic tactics are necessary to get people's attention.
"The idea of escalating it to the point where you disrupt the convenience of the citizens and of the status quo, you have to do that sometimes to make a point," Faulk said.
RELATED: One dead and one still hospitalized after car crashes into protesters on I-5
But Carmyn Taylor, 20, recalled the sight of a pickup truck bearing down on protesters spread across the six-lane I-244 in Tulsa.
"The most vivid thing I remember is when I got pulled to the ground. I remember seeing both sets of wheels run over my legs, which was a little traumatizing," said Taylor, who suffered a broken leg and a sprained ankle. "For the first two weeks after the accident, I couldn't walk."
In Seattle, Summer Taylor, 24, was killed and another person was seriously injured in July when a man drove his car into protestors on a closed Seattle freeway. A graphic video posted on social media showed the car swerving around several parked cars and slamming into the two protesters, sending them flying into the air.
In an incident in St. Louis in May, a 29-year-old man was dragged to his death beneath a tractor-trailer that drove into a sign-carrying group on a road.
Whether drivers face criminal charges in such incidents depends on the circumstances of each case, prosecutors say. The tractor-trailer driver in St. Louis has not been criminally charged, while the driver of the car in Seattle has pleaded not guilty to charges of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and reckless driving.
District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler declined to file charges against the driver in Tulsa, saying several people in the crowd had attacked the vehicle with the driver's children inside. But Kunzweiler stopped short of endorsing proposals for harsher penalties for protestors or blanket immunity for drivers.
"There are any number of laws already in place that are readily available to be enforced," he said.
A bill granting drivers immunity for hitting protestors easily cleared an Oklahoma Senate committee recently on a 8-1 vote. Two others are pending in the state House.
But critics say the proposals are only designed to intimidate people, not to solve a problem.
"The biggest concern is that they chill speech and they chill folks gathering to protest," said Nicole McAfee, policy director for the Oklahoma chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
About 50 people were arrested during several days of protests in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Most of the arrests were for disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail, and rioting, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. At least two men accused of burning a sheriff's van were charged under the state's anti-terrorism law, a felony that carries a sentence of up to life in prison. Those cases are pending.
Proposals in Oklahoma would increase the criminal penalties for blocking a roadway, including one making it a felony punishable by up to two years in prison, and making it more difficult for those arrested to be released from jail. Another bill would add participating in unlawful assemblies to the state's racketeering act aimed at organized crime.
State Rep. Emily Virgin, the Democratic leader in the Oklahoma House, said she wishes her Republican colleagues would focus on the underlying issues of police brutality and systemic racism instead of seeking ways to punish protesters.
"It seems that some of my colleagues took the wrong lesson from the demonstrations we saw this summer," Virgin said.

Q: Is it possible to change the styling of the contents of a webview? I'm wanting to load a webview in my electron application and then adjust the styling of the object's contents. Whether by JS or CSS is irrelevant, I just want to be able to .hide() or visibility: none elements inside the webview.
Is this possible? It's proven difficult to discover. Thanks!

A: I'm assuming you are running the latest electron version, so based on webview documentation I guess you could try this:
Inserting CSS

//Append CSS code do page
var myWebview = ;// your webview  definition
myWebview.insertCSS("body{background:#000}");

Or you could run a javascript code using executeJavascriptCode
var myWebview = ;// your webview  definition
myWebview.executeJavaScript("$('.mySelector').hide();");

But in both cases I suggest you to read file contents and pass it as function arguments or append your file your to your webview using executeJavascriptCode. Check the example below:
// appending javascript code
var scriptPath = __dirname + '/path/to/script.js';
var myWebview  = ;// your webview  definition
myWebview.executeJavaScript('document.write(\'<script src="' + scriptPath + '"></script>\');');

// appending CSS code
var cssPath   = __dirname + '/path/to/stylesheet.js';
var myWebview = ;// your webview  definition
myWebview.executeJavaScript('document.write(\'<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' + cssPath + '">\');');

Hope it helps.
Good luck!
