... our lawns. Bermuda grass lawn owners who are facing an invasion of St. Augustine grass in their sod can be especially annoyed. The very wide leaf blade and thick stolons of St. Augustine grass will always look odd, and visually stand out amongst the very fine leaf blade of Bermuda grass. The result is a patchy mix of two very different grass types which deprives the sod of it's otherwise beautiful appearance. The source of a St. Augustine grass invasion will be from an existing grass source close by, this is because Saint Augustine grass will almost never propagate from seed. So it may be a ... a St. Augustine grass invasion will be from an existing grass source close by, this is because Saint Augustine grass will almost never propagate from seed. So it may be a neighbor's lawn which is causing the intrusion, or may even be some existing grass which was previously grown as a lawn before the new Bermuda grass sod was laid in its place. To kill St. Augustine grass in a Bermuda grass lawn is rather easy, and can be achieved in one of two different ways. The method chosen will depend entirely on the severity of the grass invasion. For very small patches of St. Augustine ...

... hand, extended my index finger and touched a real Tiffany creation. The ghost was still there. I went back to the Lightner Museum today to get photographs specifically to photograph that Tiffany Chandelier for this article. I expected to find orbs in lots of the pictures, since many people in St. Augustine talk of how haunted that building is. I was looking forward to finding out if the ghost was still there. Not only was the ghost not there, the chandelier was not there, either. I went to a museum attendant and asked about the chandelier and was told to go to ... experience much thought. In time I went to work for Historic Tours of America. The company wanted me to review all the historical attractions before I came on board fulltime, so I visited the Lightner Museum again. This time I moved more slowly, probably because in my thirty years in St. Augustine, I had learned more about Otto Lightner and his contemporaries than I knew on my first visit. Much of what I saw this time brought to mind stories I heard and articles I read. I remembered seeing a room dedicated to Musical Machines, on my first visit. One of Otto ...

... uncertainty in Grace definition elicited pause from the renowned Saint Augustine? Such candor prompts enquiry into the non sequitur conclusions rampant in modernist exposition and sermon. To be sure, Bible language is difficult; and the cause for Augustine's incertitude magnifies the Romans 11:6 formula for attaining election status; we paraphrase Bible text: 'If by grace, then is attainment no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if attaining election be of works then is it no more grace; otherwise work is no more work.' We commiserate with St. Augustine's uncertainty! And you think Paul is easy to understand ... sought Paul's 'better thing' advocated in Hebrews 11:40; which better thing awaited the 'Grace' opportunity posited at Romans 11:6. We find then, these great philosophers did much to limit and define the language used for principals and principles in biblical subtlety. At his own intellectuality expense, Saint Augustine noted an existential failing when he answered a friend's enquiry: "What is Grace? He answered: "I know what Grace is until you ask me; but when you ask me, I do not know." Such admission might prompt further enquiry: What uncertainty in Grace definition elicited pause from the renowned ...

Brilliant!" - from "The BIG Fake-out..." by Hunt Henion However, Augustine wasn't any more responsible for the REAL original sin than the snake is responsible for that reportedly unforgivable sin of disobedience in the garden of Eden. The Church did use both the Eden story and St. Augustine's notion of "original sin" to lay the groundwork for their power structure ... how that supposedly explains that we're all born with the need for redemption - like so much trash looking to be recycled. Never mind the fact that the whole notion of "original sin" or the Eastern orthodox version, "ancestral sin", isn't mentioned in the bible anywhere. Aurelius Augustin's (St. Augustine of Hippo,) figured it out all by himself. I suppose God could have given the saint a P.S. to the holy book he entrusted Constantine to compile for him. Still, however that revelation occurred, it worked like a charm for Constantine's priests. "The introduction of original sin into ...

Couch grass (otherwise known as Bermuda Grass in North America) is known scientifically as Cynodon dactylon.

Selective herbicides are those herbicides that target particular weeds in certain grasses.

However, there are no selective herbicide products available that can selectively remove couch grass from buffalo grass, kikuyu grass and any other warm season grass for that matter. So ...

In the retail market, home owners can apply a range of herbicides that are limited in their ability to ... weeks to see that the weeds have been eradicated without any damage to the lawn. The idea of testing the herbicide product on a small area of lawn should also be the norm when treating Buffalo lawns. The reason here (in Australia) is that there are around 10-15 Buffalo (St Augustine grass) varieties available to home owners and contractors and out of these 10 or so Buffalo varieties there are 3 that suffer badly when sprayed with Bromoxynil herbicide. These 3 Buffalo-s are the ST26, ST85 and ST91 Buffalo types. In my view, they should not be banned as they ...

While growing up nearly all Baby Boomers had some sort of pet. Now, as they look forward to retiring, many don't want to be "tied down" especially to a dog. Nonetheless, they miss and would still like to have the social interactions and affection puppies and dogs offer.

Now as they look forward to retiring and possibly spending more time traveling, they don't want to be "tied down" but still would enjoy having one visit for a while, then go home! It's kind of like when the grandkids visit. ...

Believed to have originated in Spain, the forbearers of this medium size, land and water hunting dog gained an enormous reputation in the 1400s for flushing and retrieving. Hunters from the United Kingdom imported and fine-tuned them for hunting Eurasians Woodcocks. In the 1880s, the English Cocker Spaniel was brought to the U.S. as a gun/sport dog. As American Woodcocks were smaller, the breed was conformed to fit the need. Dogs over 25 pounds were deemed English Spaniels; those under 25 pounds were regarded as American Spaniels. Today, the standard for the English Cocker Spaniel is a longer muzzle and body; as well as a bit heavier, and a tad taller. Both boast the "soft mouth," vitally ...

Corgis, both Pembroke and their larger, taller, heavier cousins, the Cardigan have earned their keep, nipping at the heels of cattle, as well as herding other livestock, flushing vermin, guarding farms and providing loyal companionship. The fact their body, which is in proportion to larger dogs with the exception of stumpy, short legs, plus their amazing agility, allowed them to roll away from the kicking heels of whatever they were herding. They are amazing little athletes. Another distinguishing feature between Pembrokes and ...

The majority of dog owners believe they know how to train their dog without professional help. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. Usually, it's when the dog reaches about a year and half to two years old, they realize something is not right. That's about the time they have reached the end of their patience and want someone to come in and undo the damage, because the next move is to get rid of the dog. The following are the four most common mistakes many dog owners make. Lack of Leadership Dogs instinctively follow the strongest leader.

Facts are, yes, they are capable of mauling or killing. Yes, they often do not do well with other dogs, especially same-sex. Yes, they are at times considered a status symbol for the wrong reasons. And yes, for the most part if well-bred, well-trained and well-socialized, American Pit Bull Terriers do make incredible pets. The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) we know today has a checkered and hotly debatable past. They are believed to be descendants of Roman Molossus, the forebear of today's gentle giants, the Mastiff. Used for bull and bear baiting exhibitions in Roman coliseums and as ferocious war dogs, they followed the Roman Army as warriors and participants in blood sports. Because ...
