Sod is excellent and of course more expensize than grass. The problem is all sod is not alike as with any things, you get what you pay for. Most builders are looking for initial curb appeal and keep whatever the cheapest sod they can find watered well enough that it looks good initailly. In the south you can buy St Augustine and or Centiped sod as well as the seed. Both do well in sun and shade , but they are creeping grass ( runners ) , and if you grew up in the north no matter how hard you work at it it never looks right in my opinion. If you do your research and go to a garden shop/ nursery they can usually hook you up with the best sod mixyure for your area / light/ water conditions.

So far this year :
1 . 2 New double Gardenia's can't remember the name right now to go with the 2 August beauties I planted last year.
2. 11 Hosta's
3. 4 Rose bushes, plus a Lady Banks climbing yellow rose.
4. 2 New Little Kim Lilacs since these are supposed to do better in the NC heat.
5. 2 More Peonies.
6. Started a new cactus garden with 7 different varities of Optunia cactus.
7. 2 toad lilies, 6 ornamental lilies, 4 Dahlias approx 6 flats of bedding plants.
8. 3 new clematis , one new variant of wisteria that has a bluish /purple flower set.
9. 3 new Rhodies form a local hybridizer, I'll see if they can take the summer heat soon, and 2 new azaleas that are native to the NC montain areas . I am planning on some new encore azaleas in the fall , unless I can get them in the ground Memorial day weekend.
Last years Daphnes wintered over very well and are doing fine as well as the 3 Rose of sharon bushes that were put in last year. I lost alot of plants 3 years ago during a drought when I spent most of the summer in Europe so it is recovery time.

Just sent Paypal for 10 . With me 6 seasons that means my group will be 16 again this year at least in theory. You can never tell how many will actually show.
GO BILLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Guarantee that Spikes is back 100 % this yaer and virtual lock he won't be at the start of training camp so unless one of the Rook's/ backups really comes on he will be starting/ backing up in last years position.

I've been waiting all day for the Lori or Cindy report. Maybe they haven't come home yet ???
-
Agreed from what I have read ( only a few articles though ) it appears he is ready to play. If not cut city and no loss. If he is ready to live up to his original draft potential SWEET !!!!

I voted value but I'd like to put in a write in vote for CLICK CLACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His Butt. That's what the Guru's liked about Preston as center last year " A Big Bubble" meaning his wide butt anchors him at the center position from getting bullrushed by the nose tackle.

I rest my CASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right after we hear the words "The Bills are on the clock " , and ESPN immediately swithes to 10 minutes of commercials. By the time they come back on line the Lions will be picking and the board will be toast !!!!!!!

Trying to get my group together it will be approx 10. I'll make the deadline as well.

The difference being he recognized he was missing out on a great opportunity and by recent ( meaning last year ) accounts he pulled himself up and not only had a very good year in football but also pulled his grades up dramatically. There is a difference between a barin dead slug acting in said fashion and a KID that looks at himself and says OH S$$t I better get my act together or its' Do you want FRies with that for me. I'll take the guy that falls down and gets back up over the one that never stumbles and never pushes himself evry time.

I came in at #16. was surprised to see it ranked that high however.
-
Losman every time. No doubt in my mind until he PROVES it differently.
-
Well now at least the 2 Giants / Dallas games ought to be a bit more interesting to watch!!!!!!!
-
Following this logic Peyton Manning and of course Eli , and Brett Farve , as well as many other starting QB's would have been cut before their carreers had started. Face it folks JP needs some more time in the oven before we find out whether he turns to steel or just plain Pig Iron.
-
No one gets cut in camp that was signed as a starting QB with all that Cash tied up in that short of a time. It's all about the Benjamin's.

I do to . He had great hands. Aiken is under contract and if davis makes it as another speedy Wide out , I think Fast freddie is gone . If Moulds leaves then Evans becomes #1 and Aiken becomes the big target in MOulds place , with reed and parrish as the 3rd and 4th .

You need backups and at a little over $600,000 per year it is almost (if not ) the NFL minimum so no big news here. He played Ok when called in on spot duty .
Bought my first hunting rifle last sunday...

Good luck. I'm not a big fan of semi auto rifles. Most are not as accurate as their bolt action counterparts , and the mechanism is suceptible to jamming in bad weather. It takes a lot of cleaning to make sure you don't have a jam at a critical time. Of course I know peoplE that are very happy with theirs and don't experience any of the above issues. Recoil is lower on the semi's because part of the gas release drives the auto loading option. Agree with everyone here that you want to sight in your rifle and do serious target practice with the load and exact ammo you are planning to use. Nothing wrong with starting out with a cheaper box till you get over the flinches however. Toughest time of the year for me is Deer season when the game is on. If I have bagged one early then I don't mind missing part of a days hunt but until then it's out in the woods for me.
