Tips for safely mowing a wet lawn

Posted on May 18, 2011

If you live in a region that gets lots of rain throughout the spring and summer, chances are you have a hard time getting your lawn mowed between showers. In fact, during especially rainy times you just might be forced to cut your grass when it’s wet. Here are a few tips for safely mowing a wet lawn:

1 – Don’t let the grass get too high because wet grass is a lot harder for the mower to expel than dry. If you know ahead of time that you’re probably going to have to mow your lawn when it’s wet, mow it early. If you usually mow once a week, switch to once every three or four days during rainy periods.

2 – Mow your yard in sections. There might be weeks when you simply don’t have enough time between rain showers to mow your entire lawn in one fell swoop. Remember that you can always split the task up by mowing the front yard one day and the back yard the next.

Do I still need to defragment my hard drive with Windows 7?

Posted on May 18, 2011

Question:

I’ve heard that if I’m running Windows 7 I won’t need to defragment my hard drive any more. Is that true?  —Melinda Hostettler

Answer:

Unfortunately it is not Melinda. Like its predecessors, Windows 7 saves files in bits and pieces in an attempt to use every bit of free space on the drive. This causes some files to be split into dozens of fragments that are spread all over the hard disk, and whenever these files need to be loaded into memory the drive heads need to move back and forth across the platters until all the pieces are reassembled like a puzzle. All of this disk access really slows your PC down.

Three common sources of glare in lighting design

Posted on May 17, 2011

It is common wisdom that in lighting design, glare is to be avoided. After all, if you or your guests are looking directly into a light source, it will hurt your eyes. Moreover, it will contract your irises, which actually makes the room look dimmer. Causing both discomfort and dimness is, of course, the opposite of what lighting design is supposed to do.

Nonetheless, there are still some common mistakes that people make that cause unwanted glare both for themselves and for their guests. In this article, I will discuss those common errors and how to fix them.

Bathroom Vanities

Bathroom vanities are one of the most common sources of glare in homes. After all, there are really only two places that you can place your lights: above and on the sides of the mirror. Each of these is problematic in its own way. Lights above you create harsh shadows on your face, aging you significantly by bringing out your wrinkles. They are also terrible for shaving and applying eyeliner, because you have shadows right where you need light.

The amazing power of compassion

Posted on May 17, 2011

Living (and loving) Life)

Compassion:  “A feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.”

I have always known the definition of that word without even having to look it up, but I had never really given it a lot of thought until a devastating hurricane wreaked havoc on our region a few weeks ago.

The destruction left in the storms’ wake is heart-breaking, but the resilience of those affected and the compassion of those who are helping them put the pieces of their lives back together are absolutely uplifting.
