In this post I will be writing about my top 5 choices of hoe. There are plenty of different kinds of hoes available to gardeners. All have their uses, but some are better and more suited for general use than others.
What is the best hoe? I wouldn't necessarily say any one hoe is the best as in my opinion their are a few that can be good for the same type of work in the same gardens.
This list is just to give you an idea of what I believe are the top 5 hoes you can buy for gardening, and anyone of them should be suitable for a variety of hoeing jobs in the garden.
If any of your hoes ever need sharpening then you'll be pleased to know that it's a very easy job that anyone can do. You can use either a sharpening stone or a fine file. You just have to carefully rub it over the hoe blade/s at the right angle and you will have it sharpened in no time.
If you would like to read about a larger selection of hoes then please CLICK HERE and read my post on Garden Hoe Types – Their Best Uses.
How to choose the right hoe for your garden.
Choosing the right hoe for your garden should be a pretty simple task. The size of the garden isn't as important for picking a hoe as you might think.
What I would recommend looking at first is the amount of space in your beds and borders, where you will be using your hoe.
Do you have a lot of space between plants, shrubs, vegetables etc ?
If so then you could easily get away with using a hoe with a bigger blade like the Dutch or Oscillating Hoe.
If however you have things growing closer together then you'd benefit more from using a Swoe or Draw Hoe. These hoes have smaller blades and can get amongst the plants easier without damaging them.
Is the ground soft or hard?
If the ground is soft then any Hoe would be able to do the job.
If the ground is hard then maybe a Grub Hoe would be a good choice.
Or maybe you would benefit more from having more then 1 kind of Hoe.
As I work as a gardener and am working in different kinds of gardens all the time, I have a few different types of hoe that I use. Each one useful for different places I work.
Below I will list my top 5 choices of hoe and where they are best used.
The Dutch Hoe is my favourite hoe for general weeding.
This hoe is designed to be pushed and pulled and works just under the surface of the soil. The idea is that the blade cuts through the weed head (leaves), separating the top from the stem. The sun cannot get to the root left under the soil and therefore it will die.
This hoe is lovely to use and you will find yourself getting into a rhythm with it. It does a great job, especially in large open areas when you don't have lots of plants etc. to work around.
The blade is sharp on all sides so it really is easy to push and pull using this.
This hoe is more suited to open areas so please be careful if using it amongst plants/vegetables as you wouldn't want to damage them.
The handle is long enough that you can use it without having to bend at all which save you from developing any back trouble.
The Dutch Hoe I recommend you getting is the Spear and Jackson Select Stainless Dutch Hoe. This hoe comes with a 10-year guarantee.
CLICK HERE to buy this hoe.
Another hoe that is great for general weeding. The oscillating hoe works by pushing and pulling just like the dutch hoe.
Also, called the stirrup hoe because the head looks just like a stirrup. This hoe has a very sharp blade that works just below the surface of the soil cutting the weed heads from the root stems.
The blade of the oscillating hoe will actually sharpen itself as you're using it, which is very handy.
The blade width on oscillating hoes varies between 3-7 inches, so if you have large patches of soil with no closely compacted plants/vegetables growing together then the larger size would be perfect. Honestly you'll be surprised at just how quick you can hoe a large area using one of these.
Because of the style of this hoe it is more suited to open areas rather than using it between plants/vegetables. If you do use it close to plants/vegetables then just take care not to damage them.
This type of hoe is better with a long handle so you can reach in the beds and borders without having to walk over them.
The Oscillating Hoe I recommend you getting is the Kent and Stowe Long Handled Oscillating Hoe. This Hoe comes with a 15-year guarantee.
The draw hoe or garden hoe is designed to be pulled towards you and not pushed.
This hoe has a rectangular blade that is sharp along one edge and is attached to the handle with a goose neck fitting so it sits at a nice angle when you use it, thus saving any bending and strain on your back.
Because the blade is set at a right angle to the handle and is usually around 6 inches in length this hoe is great for going quite deep into the soil. You can cultivate soil to varying depths by adjusting the angle you use the hoe.
This is a great hoe if you want to make larger trenches for planting. Especially good for the digging out of trenches for planting potatoes.
You can create thinner trenches by tilting the angle of the blade and not using the whole length of the blade to drag out the soil.
A great hoe for breaking up and moving larger amounts of soil that a dutch or oscillating hoe cannot do that well.
I would recommend this type of hoe for use more around vegetable plots rather than smaller beds and borders in gardens.
The Draw Hoe I recommend you getting is the Spear and Jackson Elements Draw Hoe.
The grub hoe is an absolutely awesome hoe for heavy-duty work. It has a forged eye-hole where the handle fits through. The blade is set at a right angle to the handle and is sharp along the edge and 8 inches + in length.
They have a nice amount of weight to them. The idea is you hold the handle near the end with one hand and about a third of the way down with the other hand. The grub hoe should then be lifted to around hip height and swung down into the ground using the momentum. You can then drag the hoe towards you.
Being a heavy-duty hoe it is great for breaking up really hard compacted ground and ground that is mainly clay. It also cuts through roots in the ground with ease.
If you have large areas of unkempt ground or heavily compacted soil then this is a great tool to have at hand. It will dig and break up the ground easier than a fork or spade and with a lot less effort too.
Grub hoes are very similar to mattocks, the difference being that mattocks are double-sided, having an axe blade or pick on the opposite side.
In a lot of other countries throughout the world this type of hoe is used all the time, and in some places it's the only tool some farmers will use to work their land. They won't use forks, spades or other types of hoe, just a grub hoe or mattock.
I'm certain that if more people in this country were to start using this type of hoe then they would start to wonder why they had never tried using one before.
The Grub Hoe I recommend you getting is the Full Size Garden Digging Hoe with 120cm Wooden Handle.
The blade on a swoe hoe is shaped much like a golf club (iron). It has 3 sharp sides and is not too big.
It can either be pushed, pulled or even used on it's edge.
What makes the swoe hoe such a good tool is the fact that the head (blade) is quite small so it's great for weeding in amongst plants and vegetables without damaging them. Because of the size it is designed for cutting off smaller weeds, not the bigger more established ones.
I hear some people saying that this type of hoe is not very good. That is because they're not using it right or using it for the wrong types of weeds. This is a brilliant hoe to use and easily my favourite type for weeding in areas of closely compacted plants and vegetables.
If you only have a small garden then I'd say you could get by just using this hoe and a fork or spade for digging out bigger and deep rooted weeds.
The Swoe Hoe I recommend you getting is the Spear and Jackson Elements Swoe Style Angled Hoe. This hoe comes with a 10-year guarantee.
Well that's it for my top 5 choices of hoe. I hope this post was of interest to you and will help you choose the right hoe for what you need, be it just one type or maybe more.
All the hoes in the list are great tools to have and all come in very handy.
If you are looking for a hoe just for your own garden then I'm sure you could pick out one from the list that will be sufficient for you.
If gardening is your job or you have a garden and also an allotment then maybe you maybe interested to get more then just the one kind.
As I am working in different gardens everyday I personally have quite a few different types of hoe and will use different ones depending on the job at hand.
If you leave your e-mail address I will keep you updated on any new tools that are released and also on any special offers about for any of the tools I recommend.
comment6 Comments on What Is The Best Hoe ? – My Top 5 Choices.
very informative article. I really enjoyed reading that. I love gardening. I should be getting the Swoe Hoe, as you said it is great for weeding in amongst plants and vegetables without damaging them. I always fear I might damage the plants as I am weeding.
I found your post informative and interesting. I didn't know there were so many different types of hoe. I personally do not do much gardening, but I grew up on a small farm so I found this post interesting to me. However, I am a bit confused by all the ads that aren't relevant to the content of your post. I was especially surprised to see the ad for tattoo coils since tattoo supplies is the niche I am working with.
Thanks for your comment. I will look into the ads appearing that aren't relevant and see if I can sort them out.
I bet it was great growing up on a farm.
Amazing post, thank you so much for sharing that.
My fiance and me are looking for a house and he really loves everything about gardening.
I think he will really appreciate Number 4.
Thanks for the tip, I will be coming back for more!
Thank you. I really hope you and your Fiance find your dream house soon and that it has an amazing garden for you both to enjoy.
I'm happy you found it helpful.


The laws, rules, and regulations governing our world aren't etched into mountains; they can be changed. That's how we got new rules intended to protect our private information from being used and abused by internet service providers, and how we lost those very same rules just a few short months later. Could the pendulum swing back and restore these privacy guidelines? Not likely.
• Even if the FCC wanted to, the law prevents the FCC from issuing a second rule that is substantially similar to the one that was repealed.
• The FTC now has no legal authority to regulate broadband providers.
• Even if it did have that authority over ISPs, the FTC is limited in the types of rules it can create.
• Congress can pass laws that would either replicate the FCC rule or give these agencies more authority to regulate privacy.
• However, given the current partisan split on this issue, it's unlikely that any such laws would be passed.
There are three entities — the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, and Congress — that could make broadband privacy a priority. However, two of them can't make the privacy push anytime soon, and the third probably won't. Let's look at why.
The FCC may seems like the obvious choice here. After all, until April 3, it had a privacy rule limiting how ISPs could use sensitive consumer data without first getting permission to do so.
That FCC went through the full rulemaking process: proposing the rule, voting on whether to consider that rule, seeking public comment, tweaking, then finalizing and voting again.
When the Trump administration moved into the White House, promoting Ajit Pai to FCC Chairman, there were two ways for the federal government to undo the privacy rules.
The FCC could have repealed the rule, but as telecom lobbyists requested, but that effectively involves going through the entire, lengthy rulemaking process all over again. Plus, any new rule — especially one that undoes a regulation that was approved only months earlier — could be challenged in federal court.
Lawmakers chose a second, much more permanent route: The Congressional Review Act, which gives Congress the authority to look over and approve or disapprove any new, major federal regulations. After majorities in the House, Senate signed a joint resolution of disapproval, President Trump's signature killed the rule for good.
In regulatory terms, using the CRA is a scorched-earth tactic. Congress and the President not only undid the privacy rule, they made it so the FCC can't replace it with anything that even resembles the rolled-back rule.
Additionally, unlike a traditional piece of legislation or a new regulation, CRA resolutions can not be challenged in court.
That means that the FCC would effectively have to get permission from Congress, in the form of new law, to create another rule doing "substantially" the same thing as the ISP privacy rule we lost. Until or unless that happens, the FCC's hands are tied.
Until very recently, the FTC was the federal privacy watchdog for just about everything, including broadband providers. And opponents of the FCC privacy rule have repeatedly argued that the FTC should still be overseeing privacy matters for ISPs — or at the very least that the two agencies should have identical frameworks for dealing with the issue.
New FCC chair Ajit Pai and new FTC chair Maureen Ohlhausen have both repeatedly said as much, most recently in a heavily criticized Washington Post opinion piece.
But there are two roadblocks here: The FTC legally can't regulate broadband providers; and even if it could oversee ISPs' privacy practices, the FTC doesn't have the authority to make a rule like the one approved by the FCC.
The FTC Act is what gives the Commission the authority to exist and to regulate the unfair and deceptive business practices in the way it does. But Section 5 of the law includes explicit carve-outs for banks, credit unions, and common carriers… like telecommunications services.
Broadband providers officially became common carriers, regulated by the FCC, when the FCC voted in 2015 to adopt the Open Internet Rule (a.k.a. net neutrality).
In case there were any doubts, in 2016 a federal appeals court threw out an FTC lawsuit against AT&T, saying the agency had no authority to sue common carriers.
The FTC is also very limited in its authority to make new regulations. The agency is allowed to create industry-specific trade regulation rules, but generally these are to limited to restricting "unfair and deceptive acts or practices." While the FTC has gone after websites and online services for misleading consumers about their privacy practices, the Commission has not come to the conclusion that the mere act of collecting user data is itself unfair or deceptive.
The FTC simply can't regulate broadband providers, and unless it wants to argue that the mere act of data collection is unfair or deceptive, it can't issue a rule similar to the one the FCC tried to put in place. Thus, if the FCC is going to continue to model its privacy approach on the FTC's, it's unlikely that consumers will ever see more stringent restrictions on data collection and sharing.
Sure, it's Congress's fault that we lost the ISP privacy rule before it ever went into effect, but the House or Senate could do one of several things to remedy this error: Introduce a law that does what the FCC privacy rules tried to do; amend the FTC Act to rescind the common carrier exception and to give the FTC more rulemaking authority; or broaden the FCC's scope.
In fact, last week Sen. Ed Markey (MA) introduced S.878, a bill to re-establish privacy protections for U.S. internet consumers. The bill [PDF] seeks to amend Section 222 of the Communications Act to include provisions defining sensitive information and restoring the opt-in and opt-out requirements the now-scrapped FCC rule sought to put in place.
Markey was joined by cosponsors Sens. Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Al Franken (MN), Martin Heinrich (NM), Patrick Leahy (VT), Jeff Merkley (OR), Tom Udall (NM), Chris Van Hollen (MD), and Elizabeth Warren (MA), who all have one thing in common: They're all Democrats.
The Senate vote to repeal the privacy rule was strictly along party lines. Democrats don't have the majority number needed to get this bill out of committee, let alone the 60 votes needed to pass it on to the House, where only 15 Republicans crossed party lines to vote against undoing the FCC rule.
Congress may be the best — and really only viable — option for protecting customers' data from prying eyes of providers, but it seems unlikely that legislators will act so long as privacy continues to be a partisan dispute.

Southern Raised, A Family Bluegrass Band You Need To Listen To
Claire McGregor
Meet Southern Raised, a band that is best known for their bluegrass music. If you haven't heard of it Folkways gives this definition:
"Bluegrass music is the synthesis of American southern string band music, blues, English, Irish, and Scottish traditions, and sacred and country music. It is distinguished by its high energy, fast tempo sound.
The band is made up of siblings Lindsay, Sarah, Emily Grace and Matthew Reith. They were born in northwest Arkansas to parents Rick and Sharon. When they were young, they lived mostly in Northwest Arkansas and Missouri. All the kids were raised with music and took lessons on classical stringed instruments, particularly instruments that used a bow.
Lindsay also took piano lessons from the age of ten. Their musical education was designed to take an unexpected turn when they moved to the Ozark hills, however. It was here that they first heard bluegrass music, and their eyes and ears were opened. They no longer played violins, they became fiddles, and their love for bluegrass grew.
They wanted to expand their abilities and their repertoire, they began to learn other principal bluegrass instruments. The siblings took up the banjo, guitar, mandolin, and upright bass. Lindsay, who is the oldest, plays the upright bass, Sarah plays the banjo, Emily Grace plays the fiddle and the mandolin, and solitary boy Matthew plays the guitar. If that isn't enough talent for one family, all four of them sing too.
Lindsay has always had a love of writing poetry, so she became the band's principal songwriter. The Reith's love of music led them to form Southern Raised in 2007. Since then, they have released five albums, Make A Difference in 2014; Another World in 2017; Love Carries On in 2020; American Made Southern Raised also in 2020 and Sixteen Tons in 2021. Many of the singles released from these albums have gone to number one on the bluegrass charts. Check out this video from their first album, What A Day That Will Be. Their musical talent really is incredible.
Writing and recording all these albums must take a lot of time, but the band still found time to tour extensively. Unfortunately for their international fans, most of these tours have been around the United States. However, they have also built up a substantial YouTube following so even folks who can't attend their shows can enjoy their music. They currently have 135,000 subscribers, and 30,000 people listen to their music on Spotify every month.
A busy recording and touring schedule could make maintaining relationships a challenge. However, Lindsay and Sarah both got engaged within a week of each other. In April 2019, Sarah got married to a man named David Noland. They are still happily married, and the pair have one daughter, Lizzy Jo Noland and another girl on the way. In 2021 Lindsay married Aaron Killingsworth. Not wanting to be left out, Emily Grace married Alex Clayton in March 2021, and the pair are awaiting the arrival of a son who is due a couple of months after big sis Sarah. It appears Matthew hasn't met the one yet, but as he's only twenty-five, he still has plenty of time.
In 2020, the band had a change of lineup. Sarah chose to take a step back and take a role that didn't involve touring. She was replaced by Emily's now-husband Alex. Whether this is how they met is unclear, but it's a great story if it was.
Since then, the band has continued to go from strength to strength. They have been nominated for dozes of bluegrass awards and made several TV appearances on country and gospel music channels. If you love bluegrass or even want to try it out, this band is a great place to start. If you would like to see more from this talented band you can subscribe to their music on YouTube or you can follow them on Facebook. You can also visit their official website for more information about them.

6.21.2017 News
Report: Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Hire Surrogate for Third Child
The Kardashian-West family is growing. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have reportedly decided to have another baby with the help of a surrogate, according to E! News.
Kim and Kanye have a 4-year-old daughter, North, and a 1-year-old son, Saint. However, the journey has not been easy on Kardashian.
The fashion and reality television mogul suffered from preeclampsia during her first pregnancy, which caused her face and body to swell. Usually, the condition also is characterized by "high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy," according to Preeclampsia.org. As a result of this condition, she had to deliver North six weeks early.
Then, Kardashian suffered from placenta accreta, a "clinical condition when part of the placenta, or the entire placenta, invades and is inseparable from the uterine wall," according to The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It is a "potentially life-threatening obstetric condition," which is why the family reportedly used an agency to hire a surrogate.
Kim has blogged about this condition on her website. "My doctor had to stick his entire arm in me and detach the placenta with his hand, scraping it away from my uterus with his fingernails," she wrote. "How disgusting and painful!!! My mom was crying; she had never seen anything like this before. My delivery was fairly easy, but then going through that–it was the most painful experience of my life! They gave me a second epidural but we were racing against time, so I just had to deal."
In November of 2016, Kim spoke about having another child on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." However, two separate doctors told her that she was likely to experience a "high-risk pregnancy" due to challenges she faced with her last two.
"Every medical issue that you could probably have, I feel like I get, and I worry so much about it," she once told E! News. "I just don't think pregnancy and me really agree with each other."
In April, Kim opened up to the possibilities of surrogacy on the show. "After talking to Kanye, I think I always knew that surrogacy was an option, but I didn't think it was that realistic of an option, and now I feel like that's my reality. I feel like surrogacy really is the only other option for me," she said. "Whatever's meant to be will be."
Shortly after news of the surrogacy became public, TMZ published financial figures related to the deal. According to the report, Kim and Kanye have agreed to pay the surrogate $45,000 in 10 separate $4,500 installments along with $5,000 for each additional child in the case of multiples. The surrogate is also set to receive $4,000 if she loses any reproductive organs. Plus, Kim and Kanye had to leave a $68,850 deposit with the agency.
The report claims that the surrogate has also agreed to certain restrictions. Among those, she must not drink, smoke, do drugs, handle cat litter, apply hair dye, eat raw fish, or drink more than one caffeinated beverage per day. She must also avoid sexual intercourse in the weeks leading up to the pregnancy and for three weeks after the embryo implantation.
Kim and Kanye have also agreed to "assume the legal and parental responsibilities" for any child who possesses any "congenital or other abnormalities or defects."

Problem was with the RFC only.
Some changes needs to be done for background execution.
this problem is solved now.
I am facing the same issue. Im able recieve dat for a particular combination of data dn a change in one parameter results in the communication error.
Could you let me know what changes needs to be performed in the RFC?

Article: The de-volution of a Miami Fan
I haven't made a full-on post here in a while - been busy with work and new baby and life and stuff - but it's time for a personal catharsis and y'all get to be my collective Psych couch...
I've always admired the Miami Hurricanes and their style, innovation, and dare I say - swagger - but I didn't become a full-time fan until I started attending grad school at Miami in 2002. I was working as a grad assistant with the Band of the Hour (I'll wait until the laughter dies down...) First game was a night game vs. FAMU at the Orange Bowl. I was hooked from the moment "In The Air Tonight" started being piped in over that lousy crapbox sound system. I was there for Wide Left, the Fiasco Bowl, the Comeback, The Devin Hester Show (Louisville 04), and yes, for the L$U Peach Bowl - the beginning of the end, IMO.
I graduated UM in 05. Since then, like most of us here, I've witnessed the slow decay of a once-proud program. I've watched the iconic "U" turn from feared borderline gang-sign to ironic laughing-stock. I've suffered through destruction of a home stadium, a revolving door of hopeful yet ultimately disappointing coaching staffs, and a community of fans and athletes alike who quite frankly deserve better.
What pains me most though is my own personal affectations regarding UM football. As a younger fan, losses were aberrations. I would be sick for a week after a loss - both with the pain of the loss itself, but also with the general unfamiliarity with the feeling. Miami doesn't lose. That's not normal. Over time, the losses began to pile up and my mindset began to change until suddenly I woke up last Sunday morning feeling...well...fine. And it scared the hell out of me.
I've pretty well owned up to the idea that Golden and staff will be here next year. Between the Presidential search, the mythical buyout drama, and whatever residual goodwill may yet remain from the dreaded "Cloud Navigation", I believe he gets 2015. After that, we'll probably have to start over. Again. And the numbness I feel is staggering.
All that said, I will never just "turn in my Cane Card" and go root for somebody else. Fandom just doesn't work that way, no matter how much we believe we can't take any more hurt. We endure - we linger, like the proverbial boil that just won't go away no matter how much you pick at it. And when the time is right, we explode and give the whole damn college football world a collective case of leprosy.
A post D$ made a week or two ago gives me hope for the long-term future of Miami football. Miami will ALWAYS have the potential to be not only relevant, but dominant. The talent in this area is just too great, too deep to be put aside forever. Another post Lu made yesterday I believe also gives me reason to believe - when that talent stays home, the coach will follow. The right coach - a MIAMI coach - is like a Miami player. They just want to be the best, no matter what. The right coach will take Miami's $2 million salary, underfunded facilities, high academic standards, and lackluster fan support and say "this is still the quickest path to greatness in all of college football."
Until that day, I'll hang around and offer my .02 here and there on this and other sites. I briefly considered taking hiatus from the message board scene but like I said, obsessive fan behavior just doesn't allow it. So gentlemen, ladies, and lurking WEZzies I say to you - endure, linger. Don't be happy. Don't stop flying banners. Hell, boycott every game if you want. Just know that the Hurricanes are still out there - somewhere - waiting for the right moment. It might not be in the air tonight, but it's definitely in the air.
I'll get off your couch now and go back to avoiding doing work at my job. Carry on!

I was born a canes fan and will die one. And I subscribe to the a coach doesnt build or destroy a team over night, but hes actually not doing anything better hes actually doing worst and then the worst is the way he tries to downplay how shitty the team is from one week to the next. All that being said i just dont see Al getting the boat this year. He's already lined up a good set of excuses he can bring to his aide, which will buy him time. Tragic yes, but also true.
To me, this is worse. It's not like Zook at UF where he brought in some good guys but was just a lousy coach and the next guy (Meyer) could just clean up and win quickly. This was a slow, painful erosion on multiple fronts that slowly sucked the soul from the program. That's why, as much as I'm for Golden getting the boot, it's equally depressing to be staring ANOTHER rebuild in the face after the fact.
That said, I do honestly believe Golden has brought in some players and if there is to be a next coach in the short term, I don't think we'd be looking at 4-5 more years of "wait till next season." Maybe I'm just being hopeful though...
canes1996
I think it's been said better by others, but I think the biggest concern for me is the complete loss of the mindset that used to permeate the Canes' program. It was an "us against the world," "no one works harder than us," "Saturdays are the easy part" mentality that raised this perennial loser to an all-time "they aren't supposed to be doing this to us" program. Where once we were the innovators, we now question whether we even know the basics. Where once we relished and dominated late in games, we now wilt and get left in the dust. Where once we would take on #1 ranked teams, at their house or ours, and embarrass them (or at least take our style of play to them, not have them dictate their style on us), we now have to hear how good the other team was or how difficult night games are to our players.
I'm with you, OP. There is nothing that this administration or coaching staff can do to completely stamp out the potential that is THE U. It just may take a while before anyone really gets to enjoy that potential should this remain status quo.

Al Golden will not be here next year (not insider info, just a hunch).

I disagree with this. I think the Golden and Zook situations are very comparable. Like Zook, Golden has brought in a lot of talent. With the right coaching, this ship can reverse course in a hurry.

There are plenty of shitty posts or, alternatively, quickly stated opinions in other threads. Please don't dissuade one of the better posters from writing out his thoughts. You don't feel like reading the whole thing? Move along.
Next post like this gets deleted. And, so on. Not personal. Just trying to make the board better.

lol no worries Lu - if I couldn't take it, I wouldn't be here.

You may be right. I think I was more comparing the idea that UF got off and back on-track in a damn hurry, and for us it's been going on a decade. It'd be like if before Zook UF had Gerry Faust, Jeff Bowden, and Ty Willingham as their coaches...

I've been a fan since the 84 hail mary game against BC when I was 6, I'll alway be a fan and totally agree with you everything you said. You were able to put into words what a lot of us were feeling.
BoroCane83
I remember when I was hardcore about it. Now...I might not even watch the game this Saturday. Noon is when my 3 yr old takes a nap. Maybe I will too.

From the quotes of our players, it seems as if they have accepted losing too. Especially the players that will most likely be in the NFL next year.
Very good post, just wanted to talk about this below:
I'm not worried about the amount of money but how we spend it. In addition, we can pay more then $2 Million. When we gave Larry Coker his contract extension in 2005 it was one of the highest at the time and it was around that amount (yearly). Since then, we make more money from TV contracts, more revenue from the ACC and more money from the change in stadium (allegedly).
They should at this point be familiar with the cost of terrible decisions based on the following:
1. Coker's Extension
2. Coker's Buyout
3. Hiring RS
4. RS's Extension
5. RS's Buyout
6. Hiring AG
7. Extending AG
8. (soon to be) AG's Buyout
I think the Admin has learned first hand at what a quality hire can do (Coach L) and the additional revenue it can bring into the program. Now the question is whether the Admin and the school understands why they made so many errors and why they find themselves in the same situation aka Groundhog's Day over and over again.
We need to be smart with this next hire and learn from the mistakes above.
Palm Harbor Cane
Don't leave out Perry Clark and his contract how much more evidence do we need to realize that this Administration didn't give a **** about athletics!!!

Good post. I'll never understand people who "switch" teams. Is that possible? If I stopped rooting for the Canes, I'll stop watching college sports altogether. There is no other option.

Cliff notes- we don't need stupid posts like yours on something that was good. Not even a good try at being funny. Feel free to not post, we wont miss your contribution.
AUcane
CFB has proven that provided you have some key pieces, you can turn a program around overnight. It's happened before (Auburn, Florida, etc) and I have no doubt it can happen again here. This talent right now is an 8 win team. With a solid coaching staff, it's a 9 win team for another year or 2 and then we can look at elite.
Dan E. Dangerously
...What pains me most though is my own personal affectations regarding UM football. As a younger fan, losses were aberrations. I would be sick for a week after a loss - both with the pain of the loss itself, but also with the general unfamiliarity with the feeling. Miami doesn't lose. That's not normal. Over time, the losses began to pile up and my mindset began to change until suddenly I woke up last Sunday morning feeling...well...fine. And it scared the hell out of me...
From the age of 9, up until around the '03 to '05 season, I would avoid any and everything Miami related the entire week after a loss just to not be reminded of it. And as recently as 2011 I would be an absolute mess after losses. I've been numb to losses for a while too ghost, and it's not because we've grown up or matured. I'm still a 15 year old trapped in the body of someone in their early 30's. It's what makes Golden's tenure so frustrating. I really bought in with him. I honestly felt he was the guy, and anyone who said otherwise was a simpleton.

A common misconception, reinforced recently by U.S. President Donald Trump, is that the crisis in Venezuela is the natural result of a socialist system of government. While it may be true that socialism leads to market inefficiency, the causes of the ongoing crisis in Venezuela are not the result of socialism.
Socialism is not communism, it isn't fascism and it isn't dictatorship. At its core, socialism means the government disseminates a country's wealth among people, and that citizens, rather than companies or wealthy individuals, control production and the distribution of goods.
Socialism can result in diverse outcomes that range from the economy of Norway to that of Venezuela, and socialist leaders who vary as widely as Bolivia's Evo Morales and France's former President François Hollande.
The Maduro government oversaw the nationalized oil sector and took over a number of other businesses while redirecting resources from private companies to some of the country's poorest citizens. The redistribution plan led to major reductions in poverty under former President Hugo Chávez, who remains very popular in the country.
But it buckled under Maduro when oil prices dropped and he began seizing more industries. The declining price of oil from nearly $120 a barrel in 2014 to around $25 a barrel last year meant Maduro was forced to draw upon other sources of revenue to pay the increasing price of ever-growing national guard protection and to keep loyalist politicians in line. Oil sales are 50% of Venezuela's gross domestic product and 95% of its export revenue.
As private companies left the country Venezuela's growth waned, and rather than cut back on spending, Maduro simply printed more money, resulting in skyrocketing inflation that has risen to an estimated 14,000% this year. To make matters worse, the country issued massive amounts of debt as government bonds and bonds from state-run oil company PDVSA.
That brought Maduro more cash, but payments on the debt have grown so high that the government can no longer afford to import basic supplies including food and medicine. As citizens starve, losing an average of 24 pounds a year on the "Maduro diet," the country sends billions to overseas investors in coupon and principal payments. The country can't issue more debt because of sanctions from the United States, and there's hardly a market for it at the moment as Venezuela has fallen into default on some of its bonds.
Venezuela also has increasingly entered agreements with China, Russia and Cuba, wherein it pays off loans and services with oil, giving those nations larger and larger shares of its oil revenue.
Despite having the largest oil reserves in the world, Venezuela can make hardly any money in the market. In addition to sending much of its own oil to other countries in return for earlier cash payments, Venezuela is unable to modernize or even maintain its oil industry. Maduro recently appointed a former general with no experience in the oil sector as PDVSA's president.
That's led companies, workers and citizens with knowledge and skills in the industry to leave en masse. Brain drain has left production plants and facilities empty, and Venezuela now operates half as many oil rigs as it did just five years ago. Oil production has fallen by 800,000 barrels a day in just the past two years, and that's expected to decline further over the next year, with no apparent safety net to catch the falling knife of output.
Unfortunately for Venezuela, all of this means that the country is unable to fully take advantage of the recent surge in oil prices.
Citizens have been demanding change. Last year, the nation saw weeks of protests against Maduro and the ruling coalition in which an estimated 140 people were killed. Maduro's approval rating is stuck at around 20% and even that figure is in dispute. The country's socialist system calls for regular popular elections, but Maduro has barred legitimate challengers from running against him by accusing some of crimes, forcing others out of the country and even putting some in jail. The group overseeing vote counting is seen as corrupt and loyal to Maduro as well.
It's easy to say that these maladies are the result of a socialist system of government. But the truth is that Chavez's redistribution of resources from wealthy business owners who oversaw the country's oil industry to Venezuela's poor did not create this mess, nor is it the primary drag on growth.
There's ample evidence that the motivation of capital encourages new ideas and greater innovation, leading to stronger businesses and faster economic growth. However, Venezuela's crisis is not a result of stagnant productivity. It's the result of corruption and poor decisions in monetary, fiscal and governmental policy.
While president, Chavez was able to enrich himself and his supporters and pay for poverty reduction programs with oil money as prices and revenue soared. Maduro has continued to live lavishly and pilfer profits to those around him while the people of his country starve on what little remains of an increasingly dwindling economic pie.

What are the Main Biomes of the World?
By what on March 21, 2022 Geography
What are the main biomes of the world? Information about the major biomes on earth and their characteristics.
Tundra lies between the farthest limit of trees and the region of snow or ice, frozen ground, and low temperatures; it also occurs above the timberline in high mountains (alpine tundra). The tundra is perhaps the most dynamic and extreme of all biomes having enormous seasonal and daily variations of microclimate, and consequently much frost action in the soil. The vegetation is low, dwarfed, and often matlike, and includes a large proportion of grasses and sedges.
In the alpine tundra, the summer sunshine is intense and rich in ultraviolet, the winds are prevalent, and the precipitation highly variable; during the remainder of the year, precipitation is mainly snow with the snow accumulation patterns strongly affecting the vegetation pattern.
In the Arctic and Antarctic, the growing season is short, and summer light is continuous. Total snowfall is low, but the surface is snow-covered most of the winter. The arctic vegetation surface is characterized by a mosaic of polygonal patterns formed as a result of massive vertical ice wedges going down into the ground. In the arctic tundra many animals remain active throughout the year, including caribou (reindeer in Eurasia), musk ox, arctic hare, arctic fox, arctic owl, lemming, ptarmigan, and others. Dipterous insects and their larvae play an especially important role as grass consumers in the Arctic. The total number of plant and animal species is relatively very low in the Arctic, the number of migratory birds that visit the Arctic during the short summer is quite large.
NORTHERN CONIFEROUS FOREST
The northern coniferous or boreal forests are the evergreen trees stretching in broad belts across North America and Eurasia just south of the tundra. Evidence seems to indicate that the northern border of the boreal forest coincides with the southern boundary of arctic air mass trajectories during the summer months. The northern coniferous climax forest is characterized by spruces, firs, pines, and in places by tamarack and hemlock. The climate of the region is only slightly less severe than that of the alpine tundra. Following fires, plant succession goes from grasses to bracken fern to blueberry and to stands of aspen and birch. Lakes and bogs are abundant in the coniferous forest biome and represent unique ecosystems within themselves.
In contrast to the tundra, the primary productivity of the evergreen forest is high and therefore it is one of the great lumber producing regions of the world. Along the west coast of North America in the vicinity of Puget Sound, the northern coniferous forest has high precipitation, greatly enhanced by fog, and here we find western hemlock, western arborvitae, grand fir, and Douglas fir.
Because of the high humidity, évapotranspiration from the forest is low and growth is abundant, provided sufficient sunlight is available. South along the coast into California, redwood forests predominate; and north along the coast of Canada and Alaska, Sitka spruce is common.
Animals of the northern coniferous biome include moose, deer, bear, snowshoe hare, lynx, bobcat, squirrels, chipmunks, moles, shrews, grouse, chickadees, siskins, crossbills, woodpeckers, warblers, and migratory birds. Some of the animals eat the broad-leaved shrubs and herbs of the forest floor, while others depend on conifer seeds for food.
TEMPERATE DECIDUOUS FOREST
Temperate deciduous forest biome occupies a region of more moderate climate. It is a region of abundant evenly distributed rainfall with warm summers and cold winters. Because the leaves fall from the trees in the autumn, the understory of the deciduous forest has a complex flora that flowers and fruits in the spring and has a well-developed herb and shrub layer.
The deciduous forest of North America has many important subdivisions, such as the beech-maple of the north central region, the beech-basswood of Wisconsin and Minnesota, the oak-hickory of the central and southern regions, and a mixed deciduous forest type of the Appalachian mountains. Between the northern coniferous forest and the temperate deciduous forest there are many regions of mixed vegetation where usually the local edaphic (soil type) situation determines the climax community type. Animals in this forest include deer, bear, squirrel, fox, bobcat, and many birds such as the vireo, wood thrush, tufted titmouse, ovenbird, woodpeckers, and warblers.
EVERGREEN FOREST
The broad-leaved evergreen forest takes over to the south of the temperate deciduous forest. Rainfall is abundant in this area, and temperatures are warmer in the winter than they are farther north. Plants that dominate the evergreen forest, which in North America is limited primarily to Florida and sections along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are live oaks, magnolias, bays, hollies, figs, palms, vines, and epiphytes (plants that take moisture and nutrients from the air and rain and I usually grow on other plants ). Although some of the plants are related to tropical species, none of the birds or mammals found in the region are tropical in origin, indicating that Florida has not had an easy land bridge to the south.
TEMPERATE GRASSLAND
The temperate grassland covers a vast area of the I central portion of the United States and Canada, Uruguay, Argentina, and the steppes of Russia. It is a region of persistent wind and moderate to low precipitation —30 to 10 inches (75—25 cm) per year. In this respect, the grasslands do not differ so much from the cold tundra which also has low precipitation and frozen soil limiting available moisture. The grassland biome is divided into areas of tall grass, mixed grass, short grass, and bunch-grass prairies, depending on the amount of rainfall. The grasslands often become very dry during the summer and autumn, and some of the grasses have roots that penetrate the soil 6 feet (1.8 meters) or more seeking moisture.
Some of the grasses, such as big bluestem, buffalo grass, and wheatgrass have a network of rhizomes that help bind the soil. Little bluestem, June grass, and needlegrass grow in clumps. The various grasses compete with one another by growing at different times of the spring, summer, or autumn. Needlegrass, wheatgrass, and bluegrass grow early in the spring and set seed in early summer, become semidormant during hot weather, but resume growing during autumn. The bluestems, buffalo grass, and grama grass grow throughout the summer. True indicators of the grassland biome are some of the forbs, such as thistle, tumbleweed, and sunflower.
The animals of the grasslands are either of the running and clustering type, such as the buffalo or antelope, or of the burrowing type, such as ground squirrels, prairie dogs, and gophers. Birds of the North American grassland are prairie chickens, meadowlarks, longspurs, horned larks, and rodent-eating hawks.
Many animals, including birds, not naturally found in the high plains grasslands of western Kansas and eastern Colorado are now found there because of man's activities. Opossum, raccoon, cardinal, and others find it easy to move from grainfield to grainfield and from farm pond to farm pond and hence to span the "great American desert" as the high plains of North America were once called.
The tropical savanna is a grassland of warm regions with annual rainfall 40 to 60 inches (1.0—1.5 meters) and a pronounced dry season when fires are frequent. The fires are an important factor in maintaining the savanna in grass; they burn the shrubs, thus returning nutrients to the soil and giving the grasses more light. (Fire may also have played a more significant role in the maintenance of the North American grasslands than many people suspect.) The scattered trees of the African savanna are acacias, baobab trees, euphorbias, and palms. The giraffe with its long neck, has evolved to feed on these tall trees and thereby not compete with the antelope, wildebeest, and zebra, which browse on the grasses of the region. Lions, hyenas, and other animals feed off grazing animals and top off the food chain in this ecosystem.
The deserts of the world generally occur where the annual rainfall is under 10 inches (25cm). Three types of plants are found in desert areas: annuals that are dormant during the driest season and grow during the wet season; succulents, such as cacti and euphorbias, that store water; and shrubs with small, thick leaves that may be shed during the dry season. Some of the plants of the American desert include the creosote bush, sagebrush, prickly pear, saguaro, and palo verde. Desert reptiles and insects are protected from excessive moisture loss by thick, impervious skin or by waxy surfaces. During midday heat, the desert reptiles most often stay in the shade of a plant, the rodents remain in burrows in the cooler ground, and the desert birds stay inside large saguaro.
The chaparral is a zone of stunted trees and shrubs that often abuts the desert. It is a region of hot, dry summers. There is, however, adequate winter rainfall. Typical trees and shrubs of the region—chamiso and manzanita—have hard, thick evergreen leaves. Mule deer and many birds inhabit the chaparral during the wet season in addition to the wood rats, chipmunks, lizards, wrentits, and towhees found there dining all seasons.
The tropical rain forest occupies low-lying areas near the equator where the annual rainfall exceeds 80 to 90 inches (2.0—2.3 meters). There are usually one or more dry periods, and if the dry periods are long, the evergreen forest becomes deciduous. The number of animal and plant species found in the tropical rain forest is probably greater than anywhere else in the world.
The trees are tall with many vines climbing their trunks and with vast numbers of epiphytes growing amid the vast canopy high above the ground. A large number of diverse species of animals live in the canopy. The dark interior of the rain forest, however, tends to be relatively open and with fewer animals. The trees have shallow roots; the rate of turnover of nutrients is rapid; and the rain forest has a high productivity.
Often, when the rain forest is replaced by cultivated fields, the productivity drops, and the land deteriorates rapidly. The lateritic soil (reddish soils formed by rock decay and having a high content of iron oxides and aluminum hydroxides) typical of rain forests, leech out and become baked as hard as brick in the sun, and neither forest nor crops will grow.

Q: Homography estimation from consecutive video frame lines gives bad results I am trying to build a program which detects offside situation in a football video sequence. In order to track better players and ball I need to estimate the homography between consecutive frames. I am doing this project in Matlab.
I am able to find enough corresponding lines between frames but it seems to me that the resulting homography isn't correct.
I start from the following situation, where I have these two processed images (1280x720 px) with corresponding lines:
image 1 and image 2.
Lines derive from the Hough transform and are of the form cross(P1, P2), where P(i) is [x y 1]', with 0 < x,y < 1 (devided by the image width and height). Lines are normalized too, devided by the third component).
Before lines normalization (just after cross product) I have:
Lines from frame 1 (one line per row).
[ -0.9986   -0.2992    0.6792
   -0.9986   -0.4305    0.5686
   -0.8000   -0.4500    0.3613
   -0.9986   -0.1609    0.7890
   -0.9986   -0.0344    0.9074
   -0.2500   -0.2164    0.0546]
These are lines from frame 2:
[-0.9986   -0.2984    0.6760
  -0.9986   -0.4313    0.5678
  -0.7903   -0.4523    0.3587
  -0.9986   -0.1609    0.7890
  -0.9986   -0.0391    0.9066
  -0.2486   -0.2148    0.0539]
After normalization for each mathching line (in this case all rows correspond) I create matrix A(j)
[-u 0 u*x -v 0 v*x -1 0 x];
 [0 -u u*y 0 -v v*y 0 -1 y];
where line(j)_1 is [x y 1]' and line(j)_2 is [u v 1]'. Then I form the entire matrix A and calculate SVD
[~,~,V] = svd(A);. Rearranging the last column of V as a 3x3 matrix will give H as:
[0.4234    0.0024   -0.3962
 -0.3750   -0.0030    0.3503
  0.4622    0.0029   -0.4322]
This homography matrix works quite well for the parallel lines above and the vanishing point (intersection of those lines) but it does a terrible job elsewhere. For example one vanishing point is in unscaled coordinates (1194.2, -607.4), it is supposed to stay there and in fact will be mapped few pixel around (5~10px). But if I take a random point in (300, 300) will go to (1174.1, -582.7)!
I can't see if I did some big mistake or it is because the noise in the measurements. Can you help me?

A: Well, you computed a homography mapping lines to lines. If you want the corresponding pointwise homography you need to invert and transpose it. See, for example, Chapter 1.3.1 of Hartley and Zisserman's "Multiple View Geometry".

A: From the images you posted, it looks like that the lines you are considering are all parallel to each other in the scene.  Then the problem is ill-posed because there are an infinite amount of homographies which explain the resulting correspondences.  Try adding to your correspondences lines which have other directions.

Hailing from the Appalachian Mountains, our father, Winston Khrusty (God rest his soul) taught us to play in his family band- Winston Khrusty and the Appalachian Mourners. We were raised on the road in RV parks, on church floors, and in the homes of the hospitable. When dad died several years ago, we formed The Khrusty Brothers. Initially we pursued the same path as he- folk music. However, in time our pallettes broadened. We added in rock, pop, and electronic music. This is our first album since Jonas, our engineer/percussionist brother, returned from travelling the world as a field recorder for National Geographic. He had initially left the band over aforementioned broadening pallettes, and remained a folk purist. However, in a stopover in Ibiza, he had two epiphanies- one, dance music is comprised of previously recorded bits of sound (samples), and he loves previously recorded bits of sound; and, two, he missed the family making music together. Now, Jonas is back, and we've made the finest album of our career. Our self-titled album, "The Khrusty Brothers", has been released digitally and MP3s ARE NOW AVAILABLE at WWW.WATERDEEP.COM/STORE.

The reason to pick modern glass coffee table is mainly for the material. Naturally reflects the light wherever it's placed, glass can draw some attentions. The other advantage of glass is really flexible and long-last, except if you broke it. The surface of the glass is stain-free and the shape will not change.

I moved to Seattle in August of 2006 and in September I found what was to become my yoga home at 8 Limbs. My first class was with Jenny and the detail of her instruction was nothing like I had experienced before. As I attended more classes with different teachers at 8 limbs I discovered this was a common thread and I signed up for a monthly membership which has graduated into an annual one.
I want to be able to practice yoga for the rest of my life and I really appreciate the expertise of the teachers at 8 Limbs. I am continually challenged by the them and continue to grow in my practice both physically and mentally. My mat is my sanctuary and that sanctuary rests very happily and comfortably at 8 Limbs.
Happy 15 year anniversary and heartfelt thanks to Anne Phyfe, Jenny, Andreas, Douglas, Dawn, Jamie, and from the past, Greg, Maygan and Troy for the inspiration and guidance with my practice and increasing love of yoga.

Quality standards for wood fuel are used to describe the particle size characteristics and the moisture content, but they can also describe variables such as ash content, limits for contamination, calorific value, bulk density, durability and chemical composition, depending on the fuel.
Every biomass boiler will have an Emissions Certificate which will state the quality standard of fuel which should be used.
Virtually all boiler Emission Certificates quote the EN standards for fuel, specifically BS EN ISO 17225-1, which applies to both wood chip and pellets.
Although the most familiar wood fuel standard is the Austrian ONORM standard (G30, G50, W30 etc), please note that this is actually long defunct, having been replaced by an EN Standard in 2011.
Wood fuel which is too wet will, at worst, not combust at all, or at best, reduce boiler temperatures, cause smoke and generate tar in the boiler. Wood which is too dry can elevate combustion temperatures causing clinker formation. The wrong particle size, or size distribution, will cause feeding problems. Biomass boilers must be commissioned with the standard of fuel that they will continue to operate with. Variations in the specification of delivered loads (especially moisture content) affect boiler combustion and can increase fuel use or reduce heat outputs.
RHI payments require that the standard of fuel used in a boiler must match those stated on the Emission Certificate for that boiler.
How do you know if your supplier is producing wood fuel to the correct standard?
The best way is to buy from a supplier that is certified, that is where an independent body has checked that the supplier is producing wood fuel to the defined standards.
The Woodsure Certification scheme checks wood fuel producers to ensure that they produce and supply woodfuel to the correct standard. Woodsure Certification tests the products to the relevant standards for wood fuel quality. Woodsure carry out regular inspections of suppliers sites, fuel and business processes as part of their accreditation process.
The ENplus scheme certifies that pellet producers and traders meet BS EN ISO 17225-2. The UK Pellet Council has a list of ENplus certified suppliers.
The National Biofuel Supply Database also lists certified suppliers.

Cheers Mr. Pigeon bird lookin' thing, sorry I didn't wear my glasses today.
Ps: *Cheers with a cup of glass with water in it*. My body doesn't let me drink alcohol of any kind for some odd reason.
Its a parrot! Cheers, I am sure I know you but not under your current name.
Times change, had to adapt.
Whoa you still active Plamen?
Good, good, less foruming is definitely good for me. How about you?
Nice, which section is the most interesting one? I never leave the Gaming Department.
Whats your favorite metal song?
The first 2 years were for me, but after that it got a lot better.
My mom used to take me to a homeopathic doctor, he helped me a lot when I was younger.
It got better in what way?
Its still pretty confusing though. Guess its different for everybody but I am still having troubles switching from one set of rules to the next.
I am jealous, wish I was able to travel this freely.
It is pretty unorthodox since it's natural I think.
Don't think I know Mafia what is it?
Alright, how do I check my user control panel? Might weird considering Naruto has ended, is the forum actually still popular enough to warrant this change?
You can't check the user cp anymore. There are places to check subscribed threads and tabs for rep. To change your avatar you have a menu underl your username.
Will respond later to the rest......but first I need to ask can I get back the old forum layout? Or something?
Hey, screencap the virus/malware thing if it happens again.
Just checked. The first course seems good. Grammar and vocabulary, and you can listen too, and the grammar seemed simply explained. I like it.
For me it's, dunno. What do you have problems with? I can try to explain, or something.
well, I know two things I'm not supposed to know, about harrison ford and his son. anything else?
Sick as in, the same thing you told me about years ago, right? Pretty much, though I try to make the most out of it and have fun any way I can. I hate the dentist. Something about it.. and my fear of dental instruments falling into my mouth and all. How was the dentist though?
I haven't watched yet. I don't know if I want to see it at the cinema.
Oh, great. Well, glad you fixed it.
Right, I know of the movie. I just never watched.
Hmm, I've heard of Brave but I didn't watch it. I like Disney. Well, I have seen Tangled and Princess and the Frog, and I liked them.

Das 1. Deutsche Motorrollermuseum der Familie Krüger befindet sich seit Sommer 2010 in Kaub (Rheinland-Pfalz).

Geschichte
Das Museum wurde als erstes seiner Art 1979 vom Rüdesheimer Hans Krüger (1933–2003) mit seiner Frau Elisabeth in Kettenbach gegründet. Hans Krüger kaufte seine erste Vespa 1950, war mit ihr unterwegs in ganz Europa, von Südspanien bis zum Nordkap und bis nach Moskau. Er machte Geländerennen, Straßenrennen, gewann die Deutschland- und Europa-Meisterschaft, war 1988 Gründer und erster Vorsitzender des Vespa Veteranen Clubs Deutschland. Seine Rollersammlung musste öfters umziehen, zuletzt war sie in Aschaffenburg ausgestellt. Als das dortige Automuseum schloss, mussten die Roller wieder eingelagert werden. Seit Mai/Juli 2010 hat es nun eine neue Bleibe auf mehreren Etagen eines ehemaligen Kindergartens in Kaub. Dort kann die Familie das Museum nach dem Tod des Gründers weiterführen.

Sammlung
Die Sammlung hat einen Schwerpunkt bei Vespa, aber das ganze Spektrum ist vertreten: Maico, Heinkel oder Moto Guzzi. Besondere Sehenswürdigkeiten sind ein sehr niedriger Motorroller der englischen Fallschirmtruppen von 1943 und ein indisches Modell namens Bajaj Chetak. Insgesamt werden 120 Roller präsentiert, weitere 60 stehen im Magazin. Über das Museum können auch Ersatzteile für Oldtimer bezogen werden.

As of yesterday afternoon, there were 15.84 million children in Japan. According to researchers at a Japanese university, in 3776, there might be just one.
Where are we going? To the fiscal impact of fewer babies and more older people.
That flip between the young and the old takes us to Japan's population. For the first time since 1899 (when they started recording data), the number of births in Japan is below one million. Combine fewer babies with more deaths and you get a shrinking population.
So, although most of us don't face Japan's doomsday projection, we have similar fiscal concerns.
My sources and more: While the NY Times and Bloomberg provided a good overview of Japan's population problems, this OECD report was the perfect academic complement.
To improve clarity, this post was slightly edited after publication.


Monday: Start your morning with a large cup of water ten to twelve ounces, add a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice with the pulp, stir, drink, and enjoy. Gently cleanse your skin with the Decadent Buttery Coffee Scrub or the White Charcoal & Pumpkin Cleansing Scrub. Spend a little extra time on your elbows and knees. Thoroughly rinse your skin. Pat dry and lock in the hydration with the Grapeseed & Kokum Butter Lotion, or the 4 Whipped Butters Body Butter, or the Silky Light Lotion, or The Emperors Avocado Body Lotion. If you do this in the morning then your night regime should be using a cleansing soap such as The Rosemary & Basil Tranquility Bar, and locking in the moisture with a nice Body Butter.
Tuesday: Start your morning with a water infusion of lime slices, cilantro, and parsley. Make a large pitcher and drink throughout your day. For day and night cleansing regime use the Dead Sea Salt Fango Bar followed with either the Pumpkin Whipped Body Custard or Calm & Soothe A Giddy Body Lotion.
Friday: Drink plenty of water, and use a mask such as Hydrating Mineral Face Mask with Binchotan White Charcoal as a part of your weekly regime. It is better to use before going to bed. After letting the mask remain on your face for five minutes, rinse off thoroughly and follow with the Emperors Avocado Lotion, or Grapeseed & Kokum Butter lotion.
After doing this regimen for three weeks, you should begin to see a difference in your skin. You should see a more glowing skin appearance along with a softer skin feel to the touch. Before embarking on this regimen take starting photos, after three weeks take photos again and compare to the starting photos. Let us know how you do, send us your photos and/ or post them on our social media pages. Here's to realizing your #Skintasy.
