The ideal of a perfectly manicured lawn has long TURF TO defined American suburbia and, to an extent, operates as a signal human control over the natural ECOSYSTEM world. The obsession with this (subjective) curb appeal comes with Words & Photos by Savanna Hanson Customer Service a high environmental price tag, as well as a literal one. Manicured turf grass lawns require near-constant watering, and many homeowners use pollution-spewing gas mowers, as well as pesticides for weed control. One might think that with all the effort put into their maintenance, lawns would offer tremendous benefits. Alas, they provide virtually no habitat for wildlife, no substance for pollinators, negligible carbon sequestration, and create runoff that harms the surrounding environment. With mounting concern about climate change, bee population decline, and water shortages, a growing number of ecologically-minded people are transforming at least parts of their lawn into a more sustainable landscape. WHERE TO START For those just starting out, focus on a few areas at a time. Create a curving, natural shape along borders/ fences as your area to transform. After all, no one is saying it’s not nice to have a small chunk of grass where you could sit at a table, or kids could play. It’s worth noting that you can certainly just let areas of your lawn grow and naturalize.

WOOD•MASS•ll'•S•A Jn £!1!}emotiam EVEREI I SELDEN GEER 23 FEBRUARY 1850-24 OCTOBER :i:917 FOREWORD N PRESENTING a revised and enlarged edition of the Geer Genealogy, it may be of interest to place on I record some facts in relation to the two works already published, and also tell the story of one which never appeared. In 1856, James Geer, of Ledyard, Connecticut, pub­ lished a little book of eighty-four pages, entitled His­ torical Sketch and Genealogy of George and Thomas Geer from r62r to r856. James Geer was then seventy-two years of age. He was a descendant in the fifth generation of George Geer, through his fourth son, Robert. His family had always lived on the homestead of George Geer, which is also still the home of his own descendants. As much of the material contained in the First Part of this volume is taken ~rom the Genealogy published by James Geer, we quote here a part of his Introduction in which he states the origin of his work: " Living as the writer does upon the homestead of George Geer, and having in his possession many of th~ original papers belonging to him and his children, it very naturally prompted frequent inquiries respecting the pa:.'t history of the Geer Family on the part of those de­ scendants who visited the spot once trodden by our honored and revered sire.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 18.01.2018 the Damned Im Mai in Deutschland
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 18.01.2018 The Damned im Mai in Deutschland 40 Jahre Punk. Reiner, purer Punk. Zumindest zu Beginn: The Damned waren von Anfang an dabei, haben alles gesehen, haben in jedem Rattenloch der britischen Inseln ihren rohen Rock’n’Roll gespielt, beeinflusst von den Stooges und den MC5. Sie waren die erste Band, die eine Punk-Single veröffentlicht hat, 1976, „New Rose“, und sie haben mit „Damned Damned Damned“ auch das erste Album aufgenommen. Sie waren die ersten, die ihr Sound-Spektrum erheblich erweiterten und sich beispielsweise dem Goth öffneten und mit der Coverversion „Eloise“ unglaublich erfolgreich waren (ganz abgesehen von Captain Sensible, der mit dem Rap-Song „Wot“ fast aus Versehen die Charts stürmte. Aber das ist eine andere Geschichte). Und sie stehen seit über 40 Jahren fast ohne Unterbrechung auf der Bühne. Anders gesagt: The Damned sind eine verdammte Legende. Vor allem aber sind Sänger Dave Vanian, Gitarrist Captain Sensible, Bassist John Priestley, Keyboarder Monty Oxymoron und Schlagzeuger Pinch Pinching immer noch in der Lage große Songs zu produzieren. Eben erschien mit „Standing On The Edge Of Tomorrow“ der erste Vorgeschmack auf das kommende Album „Evil Spirits“, im Mai folgt dann die große Deutschland-Tour. Präsentiert wird die Tour von Ox-Fanzine & livegigs.de, Orkus! Magazin und laut.de. 17.05.2018 Frankfurt - Batschkapp 22.05.2018 München - Strom 23.05.2018 Berlin - SO 36 25.05.2018 Hamburg - Fabrik 26.05.2018 Oberhausen - Turbinenhalle (im Rahmen der New Waves Day) Tickets für die Clubshows gibt es ab Freitag, den 19.

Vanian and Captain Sensible — who was born Raymond Burns — are authorities on such matters, since the Damned were the U. With original guitarist Brian James and drummer Rat Scabies, and alongside the Sex Pistols, Clash and Buzzcocks, they helped pioneer the cutting, manic sound that defined a cultural movement in the country four decades ago. When James quit, The Damned Sensible moved from bass to guitar and the band created a new sound that split the difference between the genre they helped create and the keyboard-saturated Nuggets comp for another classic LP, Machine Gun Etiquettecatapulting them into the U. Before the tour started, Vanian and Captain Sensible participated in extensive interviews with Rolling Stone to look back on just how they got here. Dave Vanian: It was at an Irish The Damned with a small stage in Kilburn, where we supported a folk band called Salt. It was an The Damned bizarre place. They had a three-legged attack dog behind the bar. We played our whole set regardless. Were you wearing your vampiric makeup then? Vanian: I looked like that before I was in the band.
