    sounds like this scag hasnt been taken care of, who in the world leaves a mower lay around without cleaning the deck for a year? i wouldnt trust it, id look the other way my friend! and the min deck size your going to want is 52", we use 61" . your going to want a rider as well. something you can add attachments to in the future!

    id just hold off untill your 16 and can transport everything, then you'll have a nice bit of money saved up to buy everything outright.

    He actually sounds like a real nice and honest guy, just like topsites said. I know it has been sitting for a long time, but thats not really any wear on the engine, he even told us he would find somone to do a free tuneup to make sure it would run fine. I think I might go check it out today, I'll tell you how it looks though.

    Am I right that leaving it in the garage with grass on it wouldn't hurt much?

    If it's not worth $2800 what should I offer? $2500? :confused:

    In reply to scooterdayton: I actually have a lot of money saved up (from mowing since I was 9) I spent almost NONE of it, but over half was in stock, so you know how that went :rolleyes:. I don't want to buy a ztr, because it is over twice the amount, and I don't need it for mowing 5-6 lawns a week right now.

    Thanks for the imput gus:clapping:

    I went to look at it today, and decided to bite the bullet, put a down payment of 100 dollars. We bought if for 2500, instead of 2800, so I think it was a good deal. The guy was really nice, he showd me how everything worked, let me drive/operate it, let me start it, etc. It only hade a few scratches on the front, and looks nice.

    He also offerd his 6x12 or 8x12 trailer w/e it was for 700 dollars, it sounds like a gerat deal, it even comes with a trimmer rack. Were thinking about offering 700 and asking him to deliver the mower and the trailer to our house, what do you think?

    Are Home Depot trailes really good quality? At lowes there was a 4x6 I think for $650 It was no where near the quality of this trailer though. We would also use it for other things, like hauling construction equipment/supplies if we decide to buy some land up in the mtns.

    I believe a 6.5x12 around here was like $1100 at the cheapest, without a rack, but has a 4 ft gate. I am assuming that this one has a drop gate for the mower. I think thats a good idea to offer $700 and have him deliver, but if he won't deliver, do it anyway. If the deck is in good shape and little to no rust on the frame, that sounds like a good deal on a trailer.

    That mower should last you a good long time, so take good care of it, make sure you learn how to maintain it and operate it well. Hydros can be hard to learn at first, especially for a 14 y/o, so take it nice and easy.

    Good Luck

    Yeah, I don't know if we should ask him to deliver, he is watching 2 kids, 3 and 11, and is expecting a baby and day this week. He said he coul deliver in the afternooon/night, but we might want to go get it for him.

    Yeah, The hydro might be hard to get use to, so I'll mow my yard to practice on, and my grandparents have a huge open area that I might be able to practice on, if we do get the trailer, we can take it there.

    The problem with the trailer is that It has no plates, i guess it's allowed in SC, but in NC it's illegal, so we'll have to take the risk of driving home w/o plates.

    Thanks for the replys guys, I'll get some pictures when I get it home.

    Sometimes it's hard though with an interview and then training period. We had one kid who knew his stuff but moved at a turtle pace. Another we hired worked great for three days, then he found out we didn't get out of work at 3 and that was the end of him. Sometimes it is the hiring parties fault, but other times the hired employee just isn't the right fit or they have different expectations than the employer.

    Does anybody else use a written test on their application. I do. Its dirt simple. A little math, little green industry fill in the blank. The amount of time and body language tell me if the guy is even worth a shot. All but one of my guys is family from my wifes side or a friend of theirs that they are willing to vouch for. You can only train those who are capable of learning.

    Here are my thoughts on hiring the right people. IMHO this should be done by at least two different people and three to be good with the third being you the one with the final decision. If they have made it to you they should already have a idea of what to expect by say your lead that did one interview and a up and coming laborer maybe.

    1. Must access general knowledge of the industry. Test not be scared to ask a million questions. Can they identify the different types of turf you care for, what about the plants?
    2. Must clearly set and gather their hours of availability. Must be on paper and they and you sign. Make it clear...on the are hiring based off that availablity...they lessen it or refuse to work during those makes it easier for you in unemployment hearing.
    3. Judge their looks. Not if they are good looking but do they take care of themselves? Did they do everything they could to present themselves in their best light? If they did not bother to shower to come to you think they are someone you want talking to your customers if they do not have that respect for themselves...they most likely will not have it for your company and its assets.
    4. When explaining the typical day to them...explain the worst days. Make sure they are braced for it. Don't paint a rosy picture.
    5. Try to interview them in the environment which they will be working. Maybe the shop? Ask them to show you how to operate a mower if they state they have experience...did they check the oil before starting the engine? If so they will take care of your equipment...if not they will assume that somebody besides them makes sure the equipment in ready. Ask them to demonstrate simple things like changing a edger blade or line on trimmer. You would be amazed of the horror stories I have heard of peoples bad hires over the years, which include the persons who are suppose to have experiance but can not do this basic task.
    Hold the interview outside in the heat of the day. Did the applicant act like he was going to die during the interview? If so do you think he is going to make it through a 12 hour day in it.
    6. Last but not least....check references ....not personal...that is want previous employers and their opinion.

    I'm solo. I would not want to do what I do for $12 a hour.

    $12 a hour x 40 = $480 gross. Single people where I live can't afford to pay rent, 1500 regular cab pick up loan, insurance, utilities, food, clothing, tv, internet, basic dental and medical care.

    There are a lot skilled trade blue collar jobs that for the same level of hard work will pay a lot more then $12 a hour.

    Yet as employer's many LCO's can't realize that those better paying jobs are going to be everyone looking for a job their first choice.

    Those that get turned down for those jobs were not the cream of the crop. They still need work and are forced to take whatever the best they can get.

    LCO's are hiring from the bottom of the barrel. Some times there is gem in there. Most times not.

    Then Landscape jobs are seasonal so one is laid off through the winter.

    Growing up a lot of construction workers got laid off for 3 months every year.
    They kept going back to work in the spring for 2 reasons.

    In those 9 months they made enough money to cover those 3 months they were laid off. After 20 years they would have a union pension.

    All these LCO's dumb founded as to why they can't get good help.

    At first look at the first pic I just dismissed it as another photoshoped pic... But to see the rest, holy...cow! Too much time and way too much money laying around to do stuff like that! Of course, what's the origin of that mower? I see you are in Europe, but that looks like something out of the factoy (here in kansas). Like grasshopper is trying to compete with Dixix Choppers insane Hp mowers... They still cant beat the jet engine powered one, lol.

    In my area, there are magazines called Auto Trader and Truck trader. A while back they branched out to Big Truck and Heavy Equipment Trader.
    Nat magazine to look through. Has everything from skid steers to earth movers.

    I know this magazine is distributed in the PA, NJ, DE, and MD areas. My guess would be that it's available elsewhere.

    We have had 2 HORRIBLE droughts the last 2 years and usually by now our grass has gone dormant and has been for a while.

    I was out walking in my lawn tonight and it is lush, and green as can be.

    We just got another 2 inches of rain again yesterday.

    This is great and customers have to love it.

    Hope the rains keep coming because it makes us look like heros!

    I guess the only down side is...less over seeding in the fall! :cry: But I would rather have healthy lawns and happy customers!

    How are lawns looking in your neck of the woods? Too much rain? Not enough? Perfect?

    The heat and dry weather will come, it always does. Too much rain here, getting pissed off because mowers are damaging turf, and it seems like red thread and brown patch are starting to creep in. I certainly do not want dry weather in the fall.

    We had awesome rainfall last year until August which was one of the driest on record. Then we had a cool and short fall before winter. It was one of the best summers we have had in 5 years. This year was really going good until the last week and a half. It suddenly got very hot and now all the rains are going around us. I am not overly concerned yet but I hate those hot dry summers when the lawns look like crap. Unless the customers have irrigation, which hardly anyone around here does, you just can't look good. At least it looks like it is going to cool off this week. I always try to tell myself that whatever the weather brings I can't control it and not to get upset, but it is hard to do. Must be the farmer in me.

    I farm, have a lawn health business and also have a seed/chemical business.

    I was doing the "lawn thing" on the side...but now it has become a crazy venture and takes a lot of my time (sometimes too much). Funny how things work out!

    The money in lawns kicks butt compared to farming. The seed/chemical gig is pretty sweet though because most of the work is done in the winter so it gives me something to do and some $$$$$ when snow is on the ground!

    I love it all...when things are like they are now! :)

    Here in So. MN, we have gotten adequate rainfall to date. Lawns are still for the most part fully green and lush. However, no rain in the forecast for the next week - so I anticipate we will get a touch dry and some dormancy will set in. July seems to bring that every single year.
    I'd like to keep my lawns out of dormancy because once it sets in, it takes so long for them to come back and look good again.

    I have to bag 90% of my work due to upscale residences. However, I do have many leaves to deal with on some of the established homes with large trees. I have tried mulching and it doesnt ever get the job done to my standards. I picked up an old chipper shredder and it has cut down the volume of my leaf removal volume by at least 500% I can pack huge amounts of leaves in my shredder bag because it shreds it so small. The only issue I have is covering the the shredded leaves on the trailer, because in the end its almost dust and make make a mess when transporting if you dont get it covered good.

    I did a leaf clean up yesterday in Penn National. I had them all cleaned up bagged and loaded in my truck in 2hrs. Quoted them $200. When the lady opened the door, her first word was wow. LOL They moved up this way from down south and said they never seem so many leaves. hahahaha To me, it was a small clean up. I have others that take 4 trips to get them all.

    I mulch the leaves on most of my properties using my Kubota z-turn or ex-mark wb.I read an article that said lawns with mulched leaves especially Maple leaves had less weeds the following year.I figure the mulched leaves must leave nutrients in the lawn and i find that by mid spring of the following season the mulched lawns often look better than my bagged lawns.

    We mulched leaves for years until we picked up a leaf loader. We are in a fairly heavy leaf load area. We noticed the very next spring that the lawns were healthier with the leaves removed. Now we try to convince out clients to at least let us put them in the woods if they have any rather than mulching if they don't want to pay for the vacuum pick up. No tarping and dragging either. Built leaf plow blades for the walk behinds.

    Mulching leaves works very, very well. Ive used mulch kits on all my mowers. (Exmark z w/ Triton deck, Toro 40' WB and Toro 60' Z) On the lawns with heaviest leaves I go a litter higher on the N application in late fall. No hauling no loading. Blow leaves from landscape areas onto the lawn and mow away.

    I only mulch leaves at the beginning of the cleanup season when leaves are at the nuisance level. Once they start getting thick I either blow them to the woods or bag them. I don't like having to run a lawn over as many times as it takes to mulch up the leaves, and on some lawns with thin turf it's just too hard to "hide" them. For me, mulching works to a point, but beyond that it's more work than just collecting/removing the leaves.

    Down here we actually have two leaf drops. Fall and Spring. We pretty much mulch them up on an on-going basis. Live Oaks drop in March.
  10. Same here. I HATE the live oak drop month. They get stuck in the St Augustine and you can't really get all of them.

    This is the problem with this site! This guy has no idea about what he is doing and now everyone is giving him info.He needs to get off his lazy butt and do what it takes to learn and understand the proper way of doing apps. If he has no idea about what to use, you can rest assure he has no idea how to apply! So everyone that offers advice is also part of the problem. Easy solution, don't give out info.

    If he wants to understand how to do apps he needs to either work for someone, or call the local extension office and ask if there are classes that teach how to mix and apply products. Make sure he also follows the laws for his state. Example License, Insurance proper training!!!!!! Blows my mind how many guys get on here, and ask how to do apps and advice is freely giving.

    Rabbit dude, chill. Life is ok. He's asking for help. That's part of this site. We're not here to check licenses, references, dna, or the sort. Give the guy a break for trying to do things himself. If you read his initial question, it claims he already had a 200 gallon juicer, just wants a basic weed and feed. If he smokes the turf, that's his business. Like you-he's one of us. Maybe you can offer some help. And if you're around Roger Davis at the local Lesco/Deere (somewhere in Indy), say hello for me.

    So what your saying is everyone that has a tank sprayer, give him the info to go spray lawns! Thats totally irresponsible! So according to you anyone who asks for information give it to them,even when they don't take the time and effort to actually learn how to properly apply. Okay big guy................

    I've got an excellent recipe. It works great for me. Keep in mind, I treat warm season turf. Your mix needs to contain all 3 of these. It needs a Pre-emergent, Post emergent Broadleaf weed control and Fertilizer. I use Prodiamine as my Pre-emergent but there are others. It is dry and has to be weighed. Read the label and it will give you rate recommendations for length of control. The post emergent you will use will most likely contain 2,4 D. I use Lesco 3-way. There are others such as Trimec. Read the label and it will recommend rates, probably in pints per acre. I use Uflexx in my tank for my source of N. Great stuff. The bags have different amounts printed on the bag to broadcast the rate/k. I also add micromix. Read the label and it will recommend a range of oz/k. If you have noticed, there are 2 things that are very important in your quest to get your recipe and they are 2 things nobody on here can do for you. They are #1 Calibrate your equipment so you know your rate-gals/acre or gals/k. #2 Read the label so you know how much to add to your tank to broadcast the proper amount per acre and ultimately achieve the desired results. For the most part, there is no recipe until your equipment is calibrated properly. Hope this helped.

    Rabbit dude, Give the guy a break. He's asking for help. Like I mentioned, he has a sprayer, is in the business, and was asking for a recipe. Again, we are not gonna do an indept profile of the guy. You gave him your input. Let it go. He wants to save some cash in these times. Can you offer positive advice than just beat him down?

    Ted, great advice. Calibration is the key. You're not gonna be 100% accurate all the time, but striving for it is the goal.

    I recommend a 2gl/m rate. This will stretch your 200 gl further. Use 2 50 lb bags of 46-0-0 Urea, 1 50 lb bag of 46-0-0 Uflexx or 47-0-0 Umaxx, a jug of 12-0-0 plus iron & micronutrients, Speed Zone or Surge at 1.5 oz/gl

    Dear Rabbitman,

    I have been in business for 12 years. I gross about $250,000 per year. I have a business license, a pesticide certification in my state, one million in liability coverage, 3 full time employees, AND I work my butt off.

    I have sub-contracted about $ 7,000.00 per year for spring and fall weed and feed. I have lost some customers, so I needed to make up some revenue.

    I have a pretty fair knowledge of this business. Gee, I may even know the difference between an amine and an ester! I was just hoping for some general advice from others in the business about brands and mixtures.

    In other words, rabbit dude, you can stuff it.

    THANKS to all who offered advice. It will be very handy.

    What is the minimum spray volume/M that can be used when applying 100% UFLEXX @ around (0.5 Lb N)/M ?

    I want to use 1 gallon... would do 1/2 gallon if possible.
    i dont think turf safety is an issue so I suppose "how much you can actually dissolve" is the issue.

    anyone have a reasonable estimate of the upper limit of this fraction?:
    (pounds N from Uflexx)/(Gallons of water) aka solubility

    if it a suspension or whatever than thats what i mean by solution

    thanks, just found a local uflexx supplier, cheaper than lesco's straight urea!
    needless to say im excited

What would you charge to install 60 bales of pine straw.

Discussion in 'Landscape Maintenance' started by gulfjoe, Sep 25, 2013.

    I am curious if I am over charging for pinestraw installation. I had a lady contact me and asked if I could give her a quote on pinestraw. I went to her house which is in my neighborhood and was somewhat surprised with the amount of pinestraw she was going to need being that we have pretty small lots. I am guessing she did not have half of her back yard sodded when built and decided to lay pine straw instead. Anyways I measured and used one of my handy pinestraw calculators and came up to 60 bales of straw needed. My rate is $5.00 a bale and a $50 installation fee for a grand total of $350. Am I asking to much? or not enough...

    Your input will be appreciated.

    Depends on your markup on the straw, but $50 doesn't sound like anywhere near enough for 60 bales.

    When you give the quote, make sure you say labor and materials included $$$. Don't want to back pedal when they tell you they have already got the pine straw being delivered.

    Its about $1.60 a bale. If I want to drive a further I can get it cheaper but I think I will just spending more in fuel than I would be saving in straw...

    This job is 1 street over fom my house and 1.5 miles away from my straw distributor also.

    I told them it was $350 installed. When Isay that it included everything...

    No money in it around me. Pine Straw companies drive around the suburbs with hundreds of bales going door to door on a regular basis. Anywhere from 3.10-4.75 installed and are extremely quick.

    5.50 per bale here for me. Don't do much as door knockers do for $3.5 - 4 per bale... scam as they only put out about half of what they say they do.

    Pine straw is the most vile thing on the face of the earth. I had my supplier spread it & tacked on a slight markup - I HATED that stuff.

    $7-8 per bale, depending on the type.

Enforcement Of Money Judgments In The County Court

dispute image

Once the Court grants Judgment in the Claimant's favour the Defendant has 14 days in which to settle the Judgment. If the Judgment is not satisfied within this time it will be entered into the register of County Court Judgments and may adversely affect the Defendants credit rating.

The Court will not automatically take steps to enforce the Judgment debt and it is for the creditor to take steps to initiate enforcement. Options include:

INFORMATION HEARING. The creditor may apply to the Court for an Order that the Defendant attend Court to be questioned as to his circumstances. This is really an information gathering process to try and elicit more information about the best means of enforcement. Application to the Court is on form N316. A Court fee is payable and the Application must be served personally on the Defendant who is entitled to insist upon payment of their travel costs to Court.

WARRANT OF EXECUTION. This is an application for the Court bailiff to seize and sell the Defendants' personal belongings to satisfy the Judgment. It is applied for on form N42 and a Court fee is payable. Certain goods are exempt from seizure such as tools of the Defendant's trade, bedding etc. Unfortunately this method of enforcement is often unsuccessful.

ATTACHMENT OF EARNINGS. This application seeks an Order that the Court should direct that a proportion of the Defendants earnings should be deducted at source and paid via the Court to the creditor. The application is made on form N55. The Defendant must complete a statement setting out his financial circumstances and there will be a Court hearing to determine what sum the Defendant can afford to pay and what level of his earnings should be 'protected'. The final Order is served upon the Defendant's employer who must comply with it. Once granted a creditor may not then use an alternative method of enforcement whilst the Order is in force.

CHARGING ORDER. A Charging Order secures the Judgment debt against land owned by the debtor and identified within the Charging Order. Application is made to the Court on form N379 and usually the Court will make an interim Charging Order (which must be registered at HM Land Registry) and set the matter down for a final hearing. The Court has a discretion as to whether or not to grant a final Order - and will take into account the interests of other known creditors. Once a final Charging Order is made the creditors can either simply 'sit on' their security or apply to the Court for an Order for Sale - the Court will only order the sale of a debtors physical home in exceptional cases. Once a creditor has the protection of a Charging Order he may not utilise other means of enforcement.

BANKRUPTCY. In cases where a debt exceeds £750 and the debtor has failed to respond to a statutory demand or settle a Judgment a creditor is entitled to issue a bankruptcy petition. The remedy is draconian [and expensive] though effective against carefully chosen debtors. It is sensible before issuing bankruptcy proceedings to serve a statutory demand. This must be personally served and gives the debtor 21 days to pay. The service of this notice can sometimes elicit payment. The debtor is entitled to apply to the Court to set the statutory demand aside - on the ground that the debt is disputed and where this happens the Court will adjudicate this point. In addition to the Court the creditor must also pay at the outset a deposit for the Official Receiver's fee of £700. The petition is served personally on the debtor. In the case of a winding up petition against a company this must also be advertised. At the hearing of the petition the debtor may seek an adjournment perhaps seeking more time to pay. If the debtor pays the creditor then withdraws his petition he is entitled to recover the legal costs of issuing the petition from the debtor. If the debtor does not pay he will in likelihood be adjudicated bankrupt and required to attend before the Official Receiver who will take control of his assets realising these for the benefit of all creditors - the petitioning creditor does not gain priority over other creditors.

THIRD PARTY DEBT ORDER. This is an application for an Order [made on Form N349] that money owed by a third party to the debtor should be paid direct to the judgment creditor. It is quite rare to know enough about the debtor's circumstances for this to be effective - but occasionally it can be very useful if for example you know that the judgment debtor has a significant credit balance in a bank account. Once an application is made to the Court the judge will usually make an Interim Order - once served upon the third party [the bank is one example] it will effectively freeze the money until a final hearing. It is within the discretion of the judge at final hearing whether or not to make the order final.

Anti-bullying law puts taxpayers at risk

We all remember Tyler Clementi’s tragic suicide last year, which propelled the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act through the Legislature.  Just about everyone agrees that addressing student bullying is a positive step toward deterring the conditions which contributed to this young man’s untimely death.   But as schools across New Jersey prepare to reopen next month, the unintended consequences of this law may end up may end up exposing school districts to costly liability that taxpayers will be forced to bear.

According to a recent report in NJ Spotlight, online and out-of-school liability emerged as an area of concern for school personnel during required training sessions held over the summer.  Where to draw the line between parental and school responsibility has been a subject of debate for many years.  With the implementation of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act, however, this responsibility and liabilities associated with it have been placed solely on school districts and the taxpayers which fund them.  Trial lawyers in New Jersey have essentially been given a blank check to sue school districts on behalf of bullied children, no matter how ambiguous the term “bullying” may be.

School districts have an obligation to enforce New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination and to be responsive to student bullying.  But civil liability ultimately belongs on the backs of bullies, not taxpayers.

It’s something school districts will have to come to grips with this school year when the law goes into effect.  Check out my letter-to-the-editor about it in the Courier News

Ms. Bryan - 2015-16

A.P. English Literature and Composition - The A.P. Program

AP English

The A.P. Exam

Grading Policy

The Advanced Placement Program provides an opportunity for high school students to pursue and receive credit for college-level course work completed at the secondary school level. The AP Program, sponsored by the College Board, is based on the premise that college-level material can be taught successfully to able and well-prepared high school students. Like other College Board programs, the AP Program is worldwide in scope; its policies are determined by representatives of College Board member institutions and agencies throughout the country (public and independent secondary schools, colleges, and universities) and are implemented by the College Board. The AP Program is open to any secondary school that elects to participate. Similarly, the examinations are open to any candidate who wishes to participate. Operational services and development, scoring, and grading of the examinations are provided by Educational Testing Service (ETS).

The AP Program serves three groups: students who have the ability and desire to pursue college-level study while still in secondary school, secondary schools that are interested in offering such opportunities, and colleges that wish to encourage and recognize such achievement.

In essence, the AP Program is a cooperative endeavor that helps high school students complete college-level courses and permits colleges to evaluate, acknowledge, and encourage that accomplishment through the granting of appropriate credit and placement. Many colleges award sophomore standing to an incoming first-year student who has successfully completed three or more AP courses.

The AP Program was born in the early 1950s out of a general concern within the academic community for the educational progress of able students. At that time, a number of colleges and universities already had programs of early admission and/or advanced standing for talented students.

In the fall of 1954, the College Entrance Examination Board voted to accept the AP Program and to administer AP Examinations in the spring of 1956. They also requested that Educational Testing Service be responsible for developing the examinations.

Charles R. Keller, head of the History Department at Williams College, was appointed the first College Board director of the AP Program. Under his leadership and that of his successors, the AP Program has grown steadily. AP Examinations are now offered in 34 subject areas across 19 disciplines.

In 2003, more than 1 million students representing some 14,000 secondary schools took more than 1,700,000 examinations. They had their results sent to approximately 3,435 colleges.

By challenging and stimulating students, the AP program provides access to high-quality education, accelerates learning, rewaqrds achievement, and enhances both high school and college programs.

Why Take the AP Exam?

Many schools offer AP courses in several subject areas. Some make them an integral part of their curriculum and may give an honors weight for those taking the AP Exam. Some offer AP classes as an alternative and leave the final decision regarding the AP Exam to the students.

Many students wonder whether the college of their choice will give them credit for their AP course. It is important to remember that, first of all, more and more colleges and universities are now giving credit to students who score high enough on the AP Exam to meet their criteria. For more information, contact the Advanced Placement Program, The College Board, 45 Columbus Avenue, New York, NY 10023-6992; (212) 713-8066. Some colleges do not give credit for AP and require incoming students to take their "in-house" test. It is obvious that, if students have taken the AP course and the examination, they are very well prepared for the entrance test and should score much higher than they would have without that level of instruction.

The benefits of AP are not only academic; they are also financial. Students can enter a more advanced course in their field, replace the exempt course with a different one, or choose to graduate earlier. Because today's college degree requirements are more demanding than ever before, some students have to take another semester or two of courses to satisfy them. In such cases, the value of AP is indisputable. Because of the selectivity of many universities, a student who has taken an AP course is usually considered to be a very desirable candidate.

The cost of taking the Advanced Placement Examination may present an obstacle to some students, but it is important to remember that a financial benefit may come later. the College Board offers reduced fees to sutdents who can demonstrate financial need, and in some states, public funding is available to cover AP Exam fees.

i will spread the word here in saskatoon and see if folks want to come down. when on friday would the alleycat be starting?

We were thinking 8 PM. However, if a 9 PM start would help you folks make it down we could be flexible.

ill ask around at our game tomorrow

sounds great.

There is a wedding of some polo friends here in Minneapolis that weekend. That is going to reduce a lot of our numbers as a good many of us are going to that wedding.

We all know about it since Aren has been playing with us this last month, but I'll make sure to drop a line to our listserv.

Thanks Sven. I totally appreciate that. Aren informed me of the Wedding. Hopefully some of you can make it. Is anyone from the polo crew heading to the CMWCs in Guatemala?

Well if all else fails and you want to relocate the wedding we would be able and happy to accommodate you all! ;-)

PS, yeah saskatoon!! Come on down! Sorry you may have to drive through regina on the way... Haha... ;-)

why go through Regina? Yellowhead all the way. 50Km shorter, and as a bonus you don't have to go through Regina!!! How many players you have Saskatoon?? I might be convinced to go to this, I'm originally a Saskie (grew up near Melfort) If I went I'd need some teammates.

Would you be driving?

we will yellowhead it.. looking like i may in fact be able to make it :) maybe..

we have at least 6 players coming out once a week. i think max was ~11 one week. if i go i will try and round up a full saskatoon team.

I'll probably fly if I go Chris....but I don't know if I'll go or not....looks like I got snubbed by the Saskatoon crew. Maybe we should team up Bottles....an Alberta team could probably show SK & MB how to play!! (even if theres only two of us ;-) )

Bring it Justin. I would like to see what Alberta has to offer.

no snub.. if you can make it to saskatoon by friday am you can roll with us. we are a go :)

- also im pretty sure this will be a learning polo event for us. all of us are newish and only played eachother..

I agree yellowhead it. Also, Justin you should come.

Just as a heads up, the yellowhead is less distance, but taking the #11 from saskatoon to regina and then on to winnipeg is faster. Higher speed limit, less towns to slow for, double lane all the way. 50kms isn't that much when you're coming from Edm/Sask. Although there still is that pesky regina..

Just my 2 cents guys. Really i don't care which highway you take, just as long as you come! Hope to see you there!

its looking good.

this is my first alleycat/polo trip, other than capital punishment in 2005 but i didnt know polo then.. do folks bring two bikes? that seems a bit excessive. or one and wheels?

Some people do and some don't. It sort of depends on the person. If you can race on your polo bike, or polo on your racing bike then you only need one. I would also mention that this is a party style alleycat. It is a race but the checkpoints involve drinking and thanksgiving themed activities. It all depends on how seriously you take either polo or racing.

Sorry if that is not a lot of help.

If all goes well, no one will be able to ride straight anyway. I'd say polo bike! Haha! Glad to hear it's looking good for you to come!

PS, nice logo saskatoon!!

woot! we have 3 driving down from saskatoon.

Amazing. Do you want housing? Email me at bikepolointhepeg@gmail.com if you do. Free housing is available.

I just posted the schedule with some locations announced. I should be confirming the location of the polo courts within the next couple of days. Everything should be pretty close together including housing.

two asshole's don't make it right"
BUTT three asshole's make a good team"

If Chris does not come I should be able to hook you up. We do not have printed colour versions yet but we should later. I could always mail it to you.

Doesn't look like I can make it. Injuries and a lack of time are saying it is not in the cards. I so want to play in the prairies more.

Not totally surprising. We are pretty far away. Perhaps you will make it some other time.

road trip tomorrow!

woot woot

goodtimes? how did everyone do?

Saw some really good polo this weekend. It was Reverse Cowgirls vs. Different Strokes in the finals. Was a very intense game 4-5 in the end. Just before the finals started a thin mist rain came down on the court. We are pretty stoked to be coming out to TO after this weekend. Better hide your daughters!!!!!!

wife/kids/husbands, all hidden.

Excellent polo & party! Very intense finals!!

Christopher Hitchens is dead.

If you are familiar with Hitchens and his writing, you know that he was, more often than not, contrary and provocative. He never held back, and he wrote with a fearlessness comparable to H.L. Mencken or Hunter S. Thompson.

It's a trait I've admired in many writers, but few writers dare to take on topics or individuals the way Hitchens did. I don't know anyone who would have agreed with everything Hitchens wrote. At times he was embraced and shunned by both ends of the political spectrum. He was critical of Bill Clinton, Bob Hope, Mother Teresa, and Ronald Reagan, among many others.

Hitchens was a staunch defender of military action in Iraq, but he was equally condemnatory of actions that took place in the name of the war on terror. He once subjected himself to waterboarding, and concluded that yes, it was and should be considered torture.

Whenever he set his eyes on a target, he unloaded with all the rhetorical weapons he could muster. His style was forceful and aggressive. He had heroes, but he didn't put them on pedestals.

He was a dissenter. He was a renegade. He was a skeptic.

And he was, perhaps more than any of his contemporaries, an iconoclast.

BMW's MINI brand has reportedly canceled plans for a production version of its Rocketman concept. Internally known as the mini MINI, the Rocketman's small size ultimately led to its demise.

The Rocketman was believed to be on schedule for a 2016 market launch, but prohibitive costs related to the car's diminutive size have doomed the entire project. According to Car Magazine, BMW pulled the plug on the project after it became clear that it would be far too expensive to design the city car's shrunken MINI platform to meet stability, handling and crash regulations.

Introduced at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the Rocketman stretched a total of 134.6 inches - just barely longer than the wheelbase of a Chevrolet Suburban. The Rocketman would have slotted beneath the Cooper in the MINI lineup, offering city commuters a MINI more in-line with the brand's original roots.

Although the Rocketman won't make production in its current form, it remains possible MINI could eventually offer a true city car. As the 106-inch Smart Fortwo shows, a microcar is possible, but requires a platform designed as such from the onset. BMW doesn't have any current plans to produce a new small car platform on its own or with partner, but it's a possibility that can't be completely ruled out.

Idaho has recently become one of the most rapidly growing states in the nation, and much of this increase in population is due to immigration from outside the U.S. Idaho has acted as a leader in the pro-life movement.  In 2008, Idaho became one of the first states to pass a law imposing criminal penalties and civil liability for “forcing, threatening, or inflicting bodily harm on women to perform unwanted abortions.”  Additionally, under Idaho law, women must give informed consent after hearing information about their fetus’ development, and alternatives to abortion.

In the News: Idaho has also helped define the parameters of the 6th Amendment Confrontation Clause, which grants someone accused of a crime the right to be confronted by opposing witnesses.   In the 1990 case of Idaho v. Wright, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down an Idaho rule of evidence, called a residual hearsay exception.  Specifically, the Court found that a pediatrician’s testimony regarding his interview of two minor patients alleging sexual abuse should not have been admitted to trial because it lacked “particular guarantees of trustworthiness.”  The Court stated that since the physician conducted the interview without procedural safeguards, allowing such testimony would violate the defendant’s Confrontation Clause rights.

Program Goal

American Legion departments and posts are encouraged to sponsor Youth Cadet Law Enforcement Programs in cooperation with their State Police or Highway Patrol. From state to state the name of the program may vary and include such terms as Trooper Week Program, Law Enforcement Training, and State Police Youth Week.

The program provides first-hand experiences and insight into the operations of law enforcement agencies. The program also affords these highly motivated young people an opportunity to consider law enforcement as a potential career choice. Recruitment of high school students, both male and female, representing all communities and backgrounds in the state, is one goal of the program. Once these young people have been selected to attend the program, the law enforcement community is challenged to present a program that will instill an understanding and respect for law enforcement professionals and their techniques.

“Our program is not meant for couch potatoes! We physically train the cadets every morning and our class runs a 9-mile graduation run. Not bad for a 6-day program! We provide to the cadets many classes, such as SWAT, K-9, Building Search, Active Shooter, High Risk Stops, Alcohol/ Drugs, Nutrition, Americanism, Citizenship, Truth Behind the Badge, Taser, and more! During the week long program, each cadet submits a 1,500 word biography, so we will know the background of the cadet and how to help them become successful during the week.”

Sgt. Dan Palmer, Director, The American Legion Law Enforcement Career Academy, Department of Arizona

“It is a world-class program, one of which we are enormously proud - a program that has the potential to change lives. It is a serious, rigorous and intense week, including physical training, drill and ceremonies, motor vehicle and penal code instruction, emergency vehicle operations at the Consumer Reports test track, weapons training at the State Police range in Simsbury, and leadership/ obstacle course training.”

Jack Monahan, Treasurer, Department of Connecticut, and Staff Member, Connecticut State Police Youth Week

The program is available to male and female high school students who have completed their junior year of high school and are in good academic standing. They should be of good moral character and possess a desire to learn more about the law enforcement profession. Their high school should recommend students who meet these qualifications to local posts who are sponsoring the Junior Law Cadet Program.

Death by a Trillion Cuts

With the election now behind us, it’s time for the president and Congress to return to the urgent budget work left undone during the long campaign. Specifically, they must avert the draconian defense cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act’s “sequestration” mechanism. But what if they don’t?

“Sequestration” is the catchall term used to describe automatic spending cuts to the U.S. military of $500 billion if Congress fails to reach a deficit-reduction deal by the end of this year. These cuts, it pays to recall, would come in addition to the $487 billion the Pentagon has already carved from its spending plans over the next 10 years.

In defending this pre-sequestration round of cuts, President Obama assured Americans that they weren’t really cuts. “Over the next 10 years,” he said in January, “the growth in the defense budget will slow, but the fact of the matter is this: It will still grow.” That’s a fair point: Slower growth is not a cut. Budget hawks have been making that case for 40 years. (Apparently, that logic doesn’t apply to social programs, but that’s a subject for another essay.)

Even so, holding the Pentagon’s budget growth near or below the inflation rate, as the president prescribed in his pre-sequestration plan, means fewer weapons systems, fewer troops, slower recapitalization and more risk. In fact, a Pentagon report issued in January 2012 conceded, “These budget reductions are not without risk.”

For instance, the Navy has been ordered to cut surface combatants from 85 ships to 78, stretch the build time of new aircraft carriers from five to seven years and sought a special congressional waiver to deploy just 10 carriers (rather than the legally mandated 11) while the USS Gerald Ford is completed. The Air Force has announced plans to reduce its fleet by 286 planes. The active-duty Army will be cut from 570,000 soldiers to 490,000; the Marines from 202,000 to 182,000.

Funding for missile defenses has also been cut. A DOD report on weapons-acquisition plans for 2013 reveals spending cuts in combat drones, F-35 fighter-bombers, F/A-18 fighter-bombers, V-22 heli-planes, UH-60 helicopters, M-1 tank upgrades, armored vehicles and other assets.

Although the defense budget grew by $300 billion in the decade after 9/11, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) notes that just 16 percent of that increase was earmarked for modernization and new weapons systems. Plus, CSBA points out that a dozen new weapons systems were terminated and many had their numbers cut below end-strength goals (e.g., the F-22). “The aggregate effect is that a significant portion of DOD’s investment in modernization over the past decade did not result in force modernization.”

Remember, all of this is before sequestration.

If we add the cuts already on the books to sequestration, the Pentagon is looking down the barrel of nearly $1 trillion in cuts over the next decade. As Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey warns, after sequestration, “We wouldn’t be the global power that we know ourselves to be today.”
Indeed, the post-sequestration military would be unrecognizable from today’s power-projecting force. If the sequestration guillotine falls, it will lop off vital organs of U.S. military power, as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently detailed:

  • Sequestration “would render most of our ship and construction projects un-executable.”
  • Sequestration could force the Pentagon to “terminate” the new bomber program, Joint Strike Fighter program, helicopter and combat-vehicle modernization programs, and missile defenses in Europe. And it could “eliminate” the ICBM leg of the nuclear Triad.
  • After sequestration cuts, “We would have the smallest ground force since 1940, the smallest number of ships since 1915 and the smallest Air Force in its history.”

These cuts might make sense if peace were breaking out around the world. But we know the very opposite to be true. America is still at war in Afghanistan. Terrorist networks like al-Qaeda are increasing their influence in Africa, Iraq and Yemen. Mexico is hemorrhaging. Libya and Egypt are simmering. Syria is on fire, and NATO ally Turkey is being scorched by the flames. The oil-rich Arab monarchies are terrified about the Arab Spring spreading and Iranian nukes sprouting. Nuclear-armed Pakistan is less stable and more paranoid than ever, as is nuclear-armed North Korea. “We’re within an inch of war almost every day in that part of the world,” Panetta said of the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

Moreover, as the U.S. declaws itself, China is boosting military spending by 11 percent this year, capping double-digit increases in nine of the past 10 years. According to the Pentagon’s latest report on China’s military power, Beijing is pouring increasing sums into cruise missiles, anti-ship ballistic missiles, counter-space weapons, cyber capabilities, bomber upgrades, surface combatants and submarines—assets focused on countering American power. Likewise, Russia has unveiled plans to deploy 2,300 new tanks, 600 new warplanes, 400 new ICBMs and eight new nuclear subs—all in the next 10 years.

As Robert Gates observed before he left his Pentagon post, “The defense budget, however large it may be, is not the cause of this country’s fiscal woes.” He pointed out that in 1961 defense consumed half the federal budget, while it accounted for 9 percent of U.S. GDP. Today, defense spending “represents less than 15 percent of all federal spending and equates to roughly three and a half percent of GDP”—and falling fast.

The military is already contributing more than its share to solving America’s fiscal problems. The next step is for the president and Congress to tackle long-term entitlement reform and to make sure the Pentagon is protected from sequestration—for there is no social security without national security.

To Judge Spencer Roane Poplar Forest, September 6, 1819

The Letters of Thomas Jefferson

I thank you, Sir for the remarks on the pronunciation of the Greek language which you have been so kind as to send me. I have read them with pleasure, as I had the pamphlet of Mr. Pickering on the same subject. This question has occupied long and learned inquiry, and cannot, as I apprehend, be ever positively decided. Very early in my classical days, I took up the idea that the ancient Greek language having been changed by degrees into the modern, and the present race of that people having received it by tradition, they had of course better pretensions to the ancient pronunciation also, than any foreign nation could have. When at Paris, I became acquainted with some learned Greeks, from whom I took pains to learn the modern pronunciation. But I could not receive it as genuine in toto. I could not believe that the ancient Greeks had provided six different notations for the simple sound of {i}, iota, and left the five other sounds which we give to n, v, {i-i}, {oi}, {yi}, without any characters of notation at all. I could not acknowledge the {y}, upsillon, as an equivalent to our {n}, as in {Achilleys}, which they pronounce Achillevs, nor the {g}, gamma, to our y, as in {alge}, which they pronounce alye. I concluded, therefore, that as experience proves to us that the pronunciation of all languages changes, in their descent through time, that of the Greek must have done so also in some degree; and the more probably, as the body of the words themselves had substantially changed, and I presumed that the instances above mentioned might be classed with the degeneracies of time; a presumption strengthened by their remarkable cacophony. As to all the other letters, I have supposed we might yield to their traditionary claim of a more orthodox pronunciation. Indeed, they sound most of them as we do, and, where they differ, as in the {e, d, ch,} their sounds do not revolt us, nor impair the beauty of the language.

If we adhere to the Erasmian pronunciation, we must go to Italy for it, as we must do for the most probably correct pronunciation of the language of the Romans, because rejecting the modern, we must argue that the ancient pronunciation was probably brought from Greece, with the language itself; and, as Italy was the country to which it was brought, and from which it emanated to other nations, we must presume it better preserved there than with the nations copying from them, who would be apt to affect its pronunciation with some of their own national peculiarities. And in fact, we find that no two nations pronounce it alike, although all pretend to the Erasmian pronunciation. But the whole subject is conjectural, and allows therefore full and lawful scope to the vagaries of the human mind. I am glad, however, to see the question stirred here; because it may excite among our young countrymen a spirit of inquiry and criticism, and lead them to more attention to this most beautiful of all languages.

And wishing that the salutary example you have set may have this good effect, I salute you with great respect and consideration.

we raise the flags and statues to our mission we've spoken out
in slogans and in campaigns talked and talked on almost every issue
where oppression of the masses is the constant theme but what does this mean to a little town in iowa where the jobs have gone downstream down south and out
where their fingers used to work to the bone all day
profits rise and fall and starvation is a game
where is the food that used to cover their table
where is the sense of pride at the end of the day
to the face of a thriving corporation what could a dying family
possibly say
on the face of every american worker
is the constant fear that their job won't remain
as the c.e.o is planning his vacation to kill or be killed is the nature of the beast
stand in line take a number you sell your soul then watch it crumble
into a pile of rubble that used to be
your job
your life
your family's daily bread dry and stale malnourished kids
the house is sold for a degrading bid
do we continue to talk or do we take a hammer to their chains

"You Don’t Have to Throw Abuela’s Cookbook Out the Window"

First Lady Michelle Obama delivered remarks to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) today. For more than 30 years, CHCI has been working to develop the next generation of leaders for the future of the Hispanic community and the country as a whole through scholarships, fellowships, and career programs.

She discussed the need for forward-looking organizations like CHCI to address the challenges of tomorrow, particularly the challenge of childhood obesity in America. An issue important to Mrs. Obama, not just as First Lady, but as a mother.

"Now, we all know this is a serious problem in every single community in this country. But like with so many of the other challenges we face today, communities of colors have been hit especially hard. Nearly two in five Hispanic children are overweight or obese. And this isn’t just teenagers or school-age kids that we’re talking about. Believe it or not, the obesity rate among Hispanic preschoolers is higher than their white or African American peers.

And we all know what this means for their overall health. We all know the links between obesity and cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

But we also know that childhood obesity is not a stand-alone problem. We know that it is bound up in just about every other issue that we face. It is about health care. It’s about education, economic opportunity. It’s about how our food is processed, and how our cities are designed, how our children spend each day in school. It’s about the restaurants where we eat, and the grocery stores where we shop, and the decisions we make for our children every single day: decisions about how much time they spend with TV and video games, as opposed to running around outside; decisions about what they eat, how much of it, and how often.

So we all have a stake in this problem. And we all have a role in finding a solution."

That’s why the First Lady launched Let’s Move!, a nationwide campaign to solve the problem of childhood obesity in a generation and today she asked for CHCI's help in solving it. From working to sign up schools for the Healthier US Schools Challenge to encouraging kids to enroll in the 6-week President’s Active Lifestyle Awards program, there are countless ways to make an impact. And one way is by starting at home.

"Instead, it’s about families making manageable changes that fit with their budgets and schedules, with their needs and with their tastes. And that might be something as simple as going for regular walks with your kids or maybe turning off the TV and turning on the radio and dancing a little bit in the living room until you break a sweat. (Laughter.) That counts.

Small things like cutting back on portion sizes or replacing soda with water or just putting some more fruits and vegetables on the table, all of this can add up over time and make a big difference in the lives of our kids.

And, believe me, you don’t have to throw Abuela’s cookbook out the window. (Laughter and applause.)

There is a role for those time-honored family recipes, but it’s about moderation. It’s about doing our best to monitor what our kids are consuming. How many snacks are they eating? How many sodas are they drinking? Has dessert become an all-the-time food instead of just a once-in-a-while treat? It’s about being proactive, about going to the doctor and getting our kids screened for obesity.

But most of all, it’s about doing something. There are countless ways for us to start making a difference. The key is to start now, because when it comes to our children’s health and happiness, when it comes to their future, we don’t have a moment to waste. And if anyone knows what it takes to make real change in this country, it’s all of you. It’s what you’ve been doing for nearly 35 years."

In closing, the First Lady touched on the core mission of the organization and the health of our nation's kids:

"Now I remember hearing that when you all started the Hispanic Caucus back in 1976, the Speaker of the House joked that the first meeting could be held in a phone booth, because back then you had just five members. And now, you have 23. (Applause.) CHCI’s first class of fellows was all of four strong. And today, there are more than 5,000 students that have benefited from your educational services and your leadership development programs.

See, now those are results, right? That’s the kind of real impact that you have had, and can have, on this nation and on our children. And that’s the core mission of this organization, to give our children opportunities that we never dreamed of for ourselves. And that’s why all of you have organized. It’s why you’ve marched. It’s why you stood up and spoke out and refused to back down, no matter what kind of odds you faced.

And I don’t think any one in this room -- or any of your parents or grandparents -- fought so hard for so long only to see a future where the greatest threat to our children is their own health.

But the good news is, is that we can do something about this. This is one of those problems that’s in our hand. The solution to this problem is right within our grasp, but only if we reach for it, and only if we work for it and fight for it, only if we once again summon that urgency that has spurred us forward, generation after generation, seeking something better for our children."
