Hello,
well i am a PR in canada and we got a house like 2 years before and one constant problems we ran into is maintaining the garden . i would really appreciate any help , tips and tricks for a great looking garden .
Few problems:
1) i have a lot of weed growing in my backyard and in Canada we cant use weed killers. i have tried to manually remove them with yardworks weed remover, but still i am not able to get rid of them . and all that weed remover does is leave patches of empty spaces (since when we use it it rips off the soil and weed together.. no matter how hard u try to put the soil back .. it just is not the same again)
2) i have dead grass infront lawn .. like lot of it .. and dead grass looks brownish and ugly .. how can u prevent accumulating dead grass ? do we have to water it everyday ( we never water it) .
Pls let me know about your advise .
thanks!
no one knows anything ? :s

Snark version: Get out of Canada, Robin.
Good advice version: For your backyard, you might wanna try spraying cooking oil. It'll kill them weeds after a few days. But it might leave a stain, so pour some detergent to disperse it quickly and flush a lot of water.
Frontyard grass: Yes, you need to water it if it's not raining/too hot.

I have developed my first app. Its just a couple pictures: one for landscape and one for portrait mode It shows a Healthy Lung then shows a Smokers Lung with 1800 number

Well i was going to join the circle but the app won't install for me (something about it wants to replace another application?!) probably a good :cough: thing tho :cough:
have they started putting pictures like this on the side of cig packets anywhere else other than the UK? you look at it, think "****, thats horrible" then light up regardless. pics don't put you off in the slightest
but nice effort, even if it wont work
Stupid app I am getting really tired of non smokers dictating what us smokers can do in my state thanks to the stupid non smokers you cant own a business and let people smoke there if you choose to and thats total bs.We already have tons of anti smoking ads and commercials dont need a stupid app too!

Your getting all worked up over stupid ads and non smoking campaigns... the stress will kill you faster than those cigarettes...lol
Hi,
There is no better time to quit smoking than today. You are able to start now towards making the changes you need in your life to move forwards and leave cigarettes behind. You'll find a way to quit smoking that works for you and works right now. You deserve to find a way to stop smoking that's easy and pain free.
Hi,
I am planning to quit smoking from 6 months. But not able to quit the habit. In fact quitting smoking is one of the hardest thing to do. But I know smoking is bad for health.

You know smoking is wrong and by looking at how mad you got, I can bet you are one of those who throw that unhealthy, smelly , breath-cutting smoke to other people's faces and smokes around sick people and children just for the sake of I dont even know... Smoking not only kills you, if it doesn't, it ALWAYS causes people to smell bad, sort of like u died, got putrefacted and then u were brought to life... (you dont notice that cause u already got used to stink like that) plus yellow teeth that noone likes to see..and awfully bad breath..enough reasons to which u and any smoker should consider to stop smoking
Hi,
To change your life, you have to struggle. Just do what you can do for you to stop smoking. Try not to rely on commercial products that attempt to solve this issue such as gums, sprays or patches. Stopping smoking is a decision made by your heart and mind and not by pressure.
Think of what quality of life you can get if you stop smoking, of course it is much better than the quality of life of a smoker which ultimately would lead to nothingness. Make your life meaningful and quit smoking.
Ok first off i want to say i don't smoke but wait don't flame me yet...
Second i swear to god i can't stand all these stop smoking laws. I actually miss the smell of smoke. ok not in morning when waking up but i like it call me weird. And for all those who they b!tch about you should stop in public just do what i did. Tell them fine ill smoke since you don't want cancer but you need to leave i don't want my eye blinded by having to look at you.
i gotta say, i smoke a lot, but i am usually pretty polite about it, if i go out to eat and happen to go to a bar(the only place that still allows smoking) then i am going to smoke, if you(non-smoker) come over into my area though and complain about my smoke bugging you or ask me to stop smoking, i will make it a point to blow as much smoke in your face as possible, i will chain smoke a pack just to blow the smoke on you. on the other hand, if i happen to sit near a non smoker i will find a different place to sit. smokers and non smokers should live in harmony, and i do not think it is right that most every state has some stupid law now about smoking. in chicago you can't smoke within 15 feet of a building, not just the door but the building itself, they want you to stand in the middle of the road to smoke now(and they are trying to ban smoking in cars)
anybody here got a light?
I don´t know you guys in your countries, but here in México we are having one of the driest years in a long time, and this is in general in all country.
- Global warming?
- The "Niño"/ENSO phenomena?
http://translate.google.com/transla...omeno_el_nino.htm&sl=es&tl=en&history_state0=
Don´t know what´s really happening, perhaps is a normal behavior of our dear Planet.
But we have to make consciousness about not wasting Water!!
How many of you guys have rain water recollection at your home?
Have a great weekend!
Shame to see that ppl prefer to say what meal they prefer or what they drive, instead of making a stop for a moment and think on what´s really important
Even more than our beloved HTC devices...

Maybe they are "saving energy" and switching off their PCs a little and saving in other ways. Don't judge everybody else here too harshly.
Peace (this alone may save the earth more...)
Lol!
You are right!
Yesterday I was so unhappy about watching the news about our planet, and I found this thread as my escape valve
As you wisely say: PEACE!!!!
mmm - today(Saturday) here in Latvia - it was raining a bit and absolutely no sun only clouds!! I managed even to go swimming(water was about 15C) with a hurting knee and ankle (cuz I did some Mountainbiking on Friday, and got a really heavy fall - half of my face is messed up and my MTB- rear messed up but driveable)...
But about the global warming and stuff - I think that it wont come to a level that we all gona die in the next 100 years, or atleast in our lives... even if we start saving all the water elctricity and stop poluting the earth - there were always gona be someone who will continue doing the bad stuff...
So- I dont know about you all but I want to live my life to the max - try out everything!! Of course if I will have a chance to change something very dramatically - Ill do it!
Like the poster above if i remeber correctly I ride a pushbike to which is saving the earth
Turn off electronic goods via mains if i know they new and don't influx when turned on, don't leave water runnin anymore than what is needed.
Not sure really what i'm saying but i think i do my bit
mikechannon
Always a corker "pun on words intended"
mmm I've always wondered what if we could ride a bike and make electricity at the same time (I know its possible but...) anways Im on foot atleast for half of this day, so Im gona spend half of my day outside and leave my PC off!!!!

I got amazed when saw this...
How sad
ABC News went underwater in the Gulf with Philippe Cousteau Jr., grandson of famous explorer Jacques Cousteau, and he described what he saw as "one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen underwater."
Check out what BP does not want you to see. And please share this widely -- every American should see what's happening under the surface in the Gulf.

I saw a video of Aquaman washing himself off with degreaser
Wow i feel sorry for the fish lol. The US government and BP should of acted sooner than they did.
The US government should have actually done things by the book and insisted on proper risk assessments rather than taking oil companies' word for it that "everything will be ok, there's no chance of a leak" and rubber stamping the paperwork to allow the drillings.
That's terrible...
Solution?
Large amount of C4 on the sea bed... (or at least enough to blow the hole shut)
Currently,
1. BP devising mechanisms to recover the oil rather than to stop the leak.
2. BP recovers some oil and the leak is still at large.
3. ???????????
4. Profit.
Solution?
Not using Oil never again!
I really hope Oil in the hole world finishes soon!
Only on that day we will turn to see to CLEAN ways of generating energy:
Wind
Sun
Water

We needed to do that a long time ago.
I run my car on vegetable oil...
Very Gross...Oil Sux's
Oil is not just used for gas ya know, I assume this vid is just an anti-big oil propaganda film? Almost everything we use on a daily basis comes from oil out of these rigs. Don't be ignorant. If we were allowed to dill on land or near shore problems like this wouldn't exist. It because its so deep is why its so difficult to fix.

I support this post. the government put restrictions thats why we have to go to the sea
That is really bad.. just watched the vid and im speechless...
Thats terrible... What if all the BP executives where those fish? Serve them right.
This mud thing they are doing now, is what they needed to do the first day, and not have waited all the way untill it was this bad. Is it really that had to buy some mud, and boat it over? Sure doesnt take a month...
You know, I think this is all BP's fault, and the US really have no responsibility for it, as some of you have said (up there somewhere) that the US needed to do it for BP? The people in office are not engineers, and Obama saying that he is working "24/7, and working as fast as they can" doesnt make sense. Really. BP needed to sweep this mess up, or the goverment(s) need to make BP do it, and not do it for them.
I have a funny feeling its been allowed to go this long so Obama can use this as a reason to push cap'n trade with a permanant ban on drilling altogether. Just a thought...well see where this all goes in a few months.
Hey guys.
Been wanting to put this thread up for a long long time now.
So yeah, here i'm. I have always been wondering if there are any other aviation buffs like me around on XDA ?
If you like planes/airports/pilots do post and let us all know !
If you are a diecast collector/pilot/AME/spotter or just love aircrafts do post here.
We can start a kind of a discussions.
Hope there are a few out there.
Cheers
I am! I love aviation!
I was planning to follow some sort of job within aviation in the future, but I've now decided against it (To damn expensive...)
But Im still working on my PPL! Few hours under my belt
I'm an aviation enthusiast!
How do I know this? Well, I'm pretty much the only one of my mates who knows that every plane in the sky is NOT a 747, or that airbus ISN'T literally a flying bus...
Oh, and this plane: http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/su27/images/su27_2.jpg makes me weak at the knees...
I am rapidly becoming a greater enthusiast... I work for Boeing at the Everett, WA plant building 747's

Nice man ! that would be Paine field ? You get to see some 788s rollout every day ! That is nice ! What's the progress on the 748s ? You can actually become our secret source within Paine filed
What job do you do at Boeing ?
I do work on the 747-8 in the main factory, which is just north of Paine field. I work in final body join, where they actually assemble the sections of airplane. The crew I work on installs landing gear, flaps and fairing panels. Its pretty boring assembly work, but it pays the bills.
In Boeing news today, the first 747-8 Intercontinental is being joined... you can probably see it if you google it... All other news no one will really care about. And I have been able to see a bunch of 747's, 787's, 767's and 777's leave the factory. It happens every week. The coolest part of working in the main factory is the shear size of the building. It is freaking huge... the largest by volume in the world!

That's nice to know ! But IMHO 748 is pretty darn ugly ! Look at 77Ws or 788s or the A388 they are sooo much better looking !
Actually i have never been a part of the 74X family !
Wow man ! Can you please get us some pictures ? Would be nice to share on the aviation forums i'm on.
How about the test flights they must be fun to watch.
Do you see any Air India dreamliners or 77Xs on the assembly ?
Thanks man.
Hello, I have a problem and need advise, im in the process to start getting in shape and managing my health better but there is a BIG problem for me
Nutrition
Now, I know its vital for better health, but all my life I have gotten used to eating unhealthy foods or junk food (I know... a no,no) Pizza, fried chicken, white rice with anything else I can think of, lasagna, spagetti, burgers, hot dogs, sugary cereals, eggs etc. (i use lots of ketchup btw)
For a long time I realized that what im used to its unhealthy, but I NEVER had fruits, vedgetables etc in my diet and frankly i dont like it, so anything green is out in my book...
Now my problem... how do I start a healthier diet without going cold turkey? Since i regularly dont like such things I dont want to cram things down my mouth to just be disgusted amd just quit. I want to ease into it and learn to like it. Anyone else had this situation? If so, how did you start the new lifestyle and learning to make it part of your life without it being a chore?
Id appreciate any tips and thanks in advance
Technically you can still eat junk food, but you will need to work out a little bit more to keep in shape.
First cut down your portions and eat more times a day. Then, slowly start adding healthy foods as a side to your "unhealthy" foods. Then slowly start having just the healthy foods.
