The First step to conserving water is to the lawn This is not as difficult as it may seem It just takes a few more minutes and some forethought Here are some interesting facts to consider about the roots of turf one single grass plant can have 387 miles of roots and in a thick lawn there are six turf grass plants in each square inch 850 turf plants in a square foot and about 7 million in an average lawn of 8000 square feet The program must begin in the spring with the proper irrigation practices: a deep rooting Encourage The deeper system on all plants the root system the more water drawing potential for the plant This can be accomplished by heavy infrequent waterings - 2 to 3 inches per watering or until the soilproFile is wet to a depth of 6 to 10 inches Also allowing the plants to wilt occasionally during the early part of the growing season while tem percent of all forms of life peratures are still cool may help Apply water no faster than it will move into the soil - there should be no runoff or standing water at any timed Avoid watering during the hottest and windiest part of the Do most watering between day the hours of4am and 10arn-th- e period of least evaporation Avoid frequent small amounts of water to reduce evaporation loss and frequent large amounts of water that will be lost below the root zone If some areas of the lawn become drier than others hand water these to conserve water rather than applying water to the larger areas covered by the sprinkling system If it rains inch or less it is beneficial to irrigate immediately after the storm to take advantage of the rain and the application of less water will move the moisture deeper into the soil as would a regular watering Mow as infrequently as possible and at the 2 12 inch height during the especially warm weather but remember never to remove more than 13 of the leaf blade in one mowing Watch the amount of nitrogen fertilizer It stimulates applied Aeration of the turf also growth becomes very important to increase the infiltration of water and reduce compaction Water is vital to human survival and to the survival of turfgrass Fortunately grass can withstand extended drought conditions and recover nicely if it is properly preconditioned that have existed on Earth are now extinct He doesn't look like a and what I want from you Marie Godfrey PhD One of the difficulties many women have when they try to tell other they are being abused is the listener’s insistence that ‘he doesn’t look like a wife beater’ Well what does a wife beater look like anyway? Is he black or white tall or short strong or weak educated or illiterate poor or rich? There are really no deFinitive characteristics of wife beaters The crime of spouse abuse knows no social economic age racial or other barriers Anyone can be a spouse abuser However nearly half the men who abuse their wives were abused themselves or saw their own mothers being beaten Often there was alcoholism neglect by one or both parents an indulgent or over protective mother or a father who competed with the A violent man son for attention rarely comes from a happy ell adjusted family There arc also some personality characteristics you can look for their Whatever Insecurity childhood experiences batterers are usually insecure adults whose inin extreme security is reflected Frequently the husband jealousy wife the of infidelity with suspects nearly any male she encounters “Where were you and who were you with?” may be the first note of impending abuse Domination: Along with the insecurity goes the male’s need to control every aspect of his wife’s life She’s not allowed to spend money make her own decisions or even do things outside of the home The domination may sometimes be masked in an “I love yousomuch I want to have just you with me all the time” Poor Verbal Communications: The inability to express emotion or to tell his partner about feelings is another and personal needs characteristic “You of batterers should know how I feel about you It you don’tthenyouobviouslydon’tlove me” A wife beater expects love but is rarely and understanding able to offer it himself Dependence: Threatening suicide or insisting that he cannot live without her is a common result of a wife’s threat to leave because of abuse The woman who does leave is usually besieged by phonecalls and unwanted visits Those who are truly dependent upon their wives tend to avoid abuse since this may cause her to leave It is only the one who needs to make the wife feel insecure who batters Lack of assertiveness: Many batterers who are tyrants in their own homes may be quite passive or Rather gentle in other situations than being effectively assertive where he stands up for his rights without destroying the rights of others the batterer may not speak up and instead holds anger and frustration within These emotions may explode when he gets home overreacting to the slightest threat to his status Traditional beliefs: The man who beats his wife tends to believe in the stereotyped model of masculine behavior a role that requires him to a) never appear weak b) solve his problems without asking for help c) make all important family decisions d) receive deferential treatment from his wife and children and e) be in control of his emotions especially in public This man generally expects his wife to be the traditional wife and mother a role that requires her to a) be responsible for all household chores b) remain home rather than working outside the home c) be the main care giver for the children and d) be submissive and subservient To the batterer the most simple of actions may seen even serving the threatening children First at dinner Dual personality: Although wife-beate- r' capable of conning everyone outside - friends family police religious leaders - into believing they are nice gentle and easy going them that Meanwhile convincing their wives are lying when they describe their acts of violence Contradictory behavior: Some unusual combination of behaviors is also often present — beating the wife but never touching the children unable to express emotion verbally but eloquent in letters forgiving of everyone’s mistakes except his wife’s One or two of these characteristics doesn’t make any particular mpr Mm New Homes featuring custom designs for spacious vaulted ceilings whirlpool jacuzzi tubs modern kitchen appliances and high tech comfort systems!
