Has the State (being government) run amok? Or is it just really stupid?

A Melissa Texas cop pulled Mark Robinson over for failing to use his turn signal. Then he arrested him, took him to jail, strip searched him, and held him for three hours. Police Chief Duane Smith admits he’s never heard of anyone being arrested for a turn signal violation but says he stands by his officer. Reason Magazine Oct. 2008

Anne Hartridge and Matt George take environmentalism seriously. They often bike to work, they have solar panels on their Sacramento home, they dry their clothes on a clothesline, and with California in a drought, they decided to stop watering their lawn. Then a neighbor complained about their brown lawn, and the city cited them for violating an ordinance requiring lawns to be “irrigated, landscaped and maintained.” Reason Magazine Oct. 2008

Way too big.

Good to see someone else who reads Reason magazine.

I plan on doing a summer yard project. Suggestions? A pic is included.?

I have a dirt yard that i plan to dig out and cement over to make room for parking. The lot that i plan to dig out and cement over is about 24X17 ft. I will have about 3-5 guys helping me dig it out. The reason i have to dig it out first is because it is raised at about 5 inches. Do you think i could be able to finish it by the end of summer? Also any idea where i could put all the dirt i will be digging out? Any tips? Thanks!

Here is a pic of the yard

Hi:
I am a landscaper and designer. Would there be any room after you put in the cement to do a border around your parking area? Use the dirt and create a defined border around the cement area. There are many different low maintenance evergreen shrubs available today. You don’t have to make it big, and it would dress up your parking area. This is just a thought.

The other is to borrow a truck if you don’t have one and see if friends or neighbors would like your dirt.

You should have no problem getting the cement parking lot in by the end of the summer. Set a plan into place with some deadlines and be committed to finishing the project. I will link you to the site map of my website. This page has everything that is on the website. Browse though and see if you can find any information that may help you. If you need some further help, please feel free to contact me. My crew and I have done similar projects like you are doing. Good luck to you and have a great day!

How do you turn a digital video?

I took a video with my digital camera while turned sideways (portrait orientation instead of landscape). I thought that there was a way to turn it for viewing on my computer, but I can’t find it now! Any ideas? I normally use real player to play my videos but would be open to installing other programs if they are free.

Will Digital Video Turn Couch Potatoes Into Content Moguls?

The current marketplace for consumer video is comparable to the online music space before the iPod era. There are many services and devices, but none have succeeded in obtaining critical mass. Example of providers include: Google, Amazon Unbox, AOL Video, Yahoo Video, CinemaNow, Movielink, Akimbo, MovieBeam, Sling Media … And Apple‘s ambitions in this area are clear – via its recently-released AppleTV. Add to the competitive picture the current incumbents in delivery of video to the living room. They include Comcast, DirecTV and EchoStar, and Sky Television who have invested billions over decades to establish their current positions. The three US service provider leaders have earned 50 million subscribers – which account for nearly half the US households. These providers will seek to grow their current position and are expanding into IP-delivered media to hedge their bets. Furthermore, there are several much-publicized newcomers, such as VuDu and Joost , and others coming in from the side, such as Walmart and its new digital video store, backed by its strong established relationships with copyright holders for video content.

I believe that the main reason for the slow adoption of online video so far is the lack of a compelling service that just works. The future will belong to the provider that can offer integrated online and broadcast video to the living room by addressing the current market pain points:

1) Consumer pain:

* Their content is locked to a specific device and content provider: Comcast video goes to their Comcast STB & TV (in Comcast UI); YouTube goes to their PC (in YouTube UI); Verizon packaged video (V Cast) goes to mobile phones (in Verizon UI).
* It’s hard or impossible to find/watch shows they’ve missed, shows they like, or shows they “own”.
* Existing set-top box UIs are not user-friendly: half of digital TV consumers use just channel flipping and dislike multiple remotes to get at different video sources.
* They are subjected to a constant barrage of ads that are irrelevant and annoying – DVR is an aid, not a solution

2) Advertiser’s Pain

* They are dissatisfied with the current limitations of broadcast media
* Audience fragmentation is making it more difficult to reach large audiences with effective and defensible results.
* They are frustrated with the inability of legacy providers like Nielsen to offer basic digital tools and services that help manage digital placement, procurement, and monitoring, reporting, analysis and campaign management.

3) Content owner’s pain – “Content is still king” BUT:

Current content provider revenues are flat to declining; Piracy looms (YouTube phenomenon); Freeview models are appearing around the globe, threatening established business models.
New Players

The following recently-funded startups are interesting in that they bring innovation that would enable a web player to acquire a dominant position in the living room: click to view a list.

None of these provides an easy, overall solution to all the pain points described above, but they address at least part of the problem such as new ways to monetize video content; better customer control of video content; secure and/or cost-effective managed platforms for video content owners; and better reporting tools for advertisers to manage their digital campaigns.

What tools do I need to know to start a landscape and gardening design business?

Years ago I worked in a amateur way in gardening maintenance. I realice that I liked it a lot but I don’t have the specific knoledge and experience to start a landscape and gardening design business. I have the feeling that I have the creativity for doing this but of course this is not all. Could someone help me telling me the kind of tools that I would require to start this gradually? Maybe I would requiere to know some landscape design software, etc. In short, what kind of tools would be necesary to have and learn. Maybe the thing would be more complex like doing an Business plan? I’ll thank any advice. Chris

Gardener: A truck or trailer to carry your equipment and debris (although some enterprising people have even started without this). A lawn mower, rake, broom, and other small hand tools. Buy your equipment used if necessary, but shop carefully.

Landscaper: Basically you need hand tools and a truck or trailer. To start with most other tools you can rent.

Interiorscaper: A car or truck is necessary, watering cans, and assorted small hand tools.

>From the basic requirements to start it would seem that interiorscaping requires the smallest capital outlay. This is correct, but starting an interiorscape business is more difficult in other ways. It requires a better understanding of the trade. Indoor plants are much more difficult to maintain. Also, acquiring accounts is not as easy as in outdoor work. Most, if not all, interiorscape accounts will be commercial, as opposed to the residential work of gardeners.

For gardeners and landscapers a truck or trailer is a must, but as I mentioned earlier it is possible to start without one for some work. If you are doing maintenance you may be able to get accounts that will allow you to use their equipment and not require you to haul away debris. You will be expected to work very inexpensively, though. If you can get a truck do so.

For both gardeners and landscapers another source of income is from clean-ups. This is simply a one-time job of cleaning up an overgrown landscape. These jobs are hard work, but can be quite profitable.

In every business you have to contend with the government. Service businesses are no different. Before you get started investigate what is required in your area. Most likely you will need a business license from your city. The state may require a contractor’s license or certification for landscape contractors. Most likely your state will require a pest control license if you intend to apply pesticides. Check out all the city, state, and federal rules before you start.
