Tim Tua nan Lamban‎

Watch Movie Online - Pelatih Massimiliano Allegri menjanjikan kepada fans bahwa AC Milan mampu memenangi Scudetto musim 2010-11. I Rossoneri bukan lagi tim tua dan yang bermain lamban.

Milan menjadi tim paling ambisius di Serie-A musim ini. Tidak tanggung-tanggung, dua striker dibeli oleh Milan demi memenuhi ambisi merebut gelar juara Scudetto, yakni Robinho dan Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Tapi hingga pekan-4, langkah Milan seolah kesulitan mengimbangi rival sekotanya, Inter Milan yang kokoh memimpin puncak klasemen sementara. Milan dan Inter terpaut selisih 5 poin. Milan sendiri berada di peringkat 8.

“Memang benar kami tertinggal lima poin di belakang Inter, tapi juga benar bahwa kami tengah menguatkan skuad. Kami kehilangan (Alexandre) Pato dan (Massimo) Ambrosini,” papar Allegri.

“Secara realitas, ada beberapa masalah dalam klub, tapi kami berada dalam jalur tepat untuk peningkatan. Saya ulangi, selisih lima poin dari Inter tidak mengkhawatirkan kami,” tukasnya.

Disinggung apakah Milan masih terlalu tua untuk memenangkan gelar juara, Allegri menjawab,”Kami memiliki tugas untuk melepaskan dari imej ini. kami ingin menunjukkan bahwa kami bukan lagi tim tua dan lamban.”

England are in desperate situations. "The Three Lions' slumped in the top three Group C with the acquisition of two points.

New Zealand VS Slovakia News

News and Movie Online - New Zealand coach Ricki Herbert will lead his troops against Slovakia, on Tuesday (15 / 6), hoping to erase bad memories 28 years ago in Spain. As a defender of the Kiwi team for the first time appearing in the World Cup, he had tears in their eyes when I discovered just a backup when the New Zealand against Scotland.

New Zealand lost 2-5 in that game, then destroyed the Soviet Union and Brazil. Herbert could never forget when he had to sit on the bench when his country became a month-monthly on their first match in World Cup finals. The biggest disappointment in soccer career that led him to create a surprise by beating Slovakia with team care.

"I know why we're underdogs, but do not fear anyone," said Herbert was quoted by AFP. "Anything can happen in a competition. If Senegal can beat France (2002), we can beat anybody." Herbert confidence may be New Zealand's biggest weapon when he tried to inspire his troops.

Herbert contagious spirit to striker Chris Killen who must postpone her honeymoon in order to strengthen New Zealand in their second appearance at the World Cup. "This is one of the biggest matches of New Zealand football history," said Killen told AFP. "Laga first in every tournament is always very important. We know, Slovakia is a good team. We should be able to get points on this fight if we want to get away."

Hope Kiwi to play well in South Africa increased after a surprising defeat of Serbia, 1-0, in a friendly, late last month. Killen himself did not appear on it because they have to fight to Scotland to get married. "It would be wonderful if direct honeymoon, but my wife understands the importance of the World Cup."

New Zealand's performance in the game spelled warming up and down. After defeating the Serbs, they then lost to Chile. With two appearances, only gives little indication of how they look in the face of Slovakia which is not too much known although a number of players competing in Europe's top clubs.

New Zealand's defender and captain, Ryan Nelsen, has recovered from an ear infection. However, Tim Brown, recovering from shoulder surgery, likely will not be lowered. Nelsen realized, his team was not favored to win the game, but very confident against Slovakia. "We're not afraid," said Nelsen told Reuters. "The players are very confident, we have a very good striker and playing in top leagues, as well as defender, and midfielder."

New Zealand, which ranks 78th FIFA, is seen as the weakest team in Group F and can qualify to represent Oceania as it took advantage after Australia's move into the Asian confederation after the 2006 World Cup. They easily won the regional qualifier, which is mostly against small countries in the Pacific before beating Bahrain in the play-off party.

The challenge now is to fix the embarrassing record on the World Cup in 1982. Nelsen added that the victory over 15th-ranked team, Serbia, showed that New Zealand can already aligned with the larger teams.

Surprises

Slovakia will be performing for the first time in the World Cup after a split from the Czech. Slovakia coach Vladimir Weiss, who has appeared with the strengthening of Czechoslovakia reached the World Cup quarterfinals in 1990, hoped his team could make a surprise.

Weiss knows, the game against New Zealand will be the greatest opportunity to gain full points in the group that also includes defending champion Italy and Paraguay. January Mucha goalkeeper, who performed brilliantly throughout the qualification, said the new team though, they sure would be able to make a surprise.

Midfielder Marek Hamsik added, the first match is very important if they want to advance to the second round. "Laga most important thing is against New Zealand. They are a strong team. We saw it during warm-up against Serbia," Hamsik said that playing with Napoli in Serie A Italian.

Weiss states, they most likely get three full points against the New Zealand attack appeared to be promising. "We will play to win and three points that will give us a good beginning," says Weiss. "Anything, except win, will make things more complicated in the match remaining. New Zealand is a formidable opponent, but I guess we had better quality."

Slovakia has an impressive qualifying record with Hamsik appear extraordinary. However, New Zealand should also be wary of VfL Bochum striker, Stanislav Sestak, and Miroslav Stoch, ever winger for Chelsea. Stoch, who just turned 20 years old, recovering from a knee injury that threatened her absences against New Zealand.

Slovakia's most famous players, Martin Skrtel, Liverpool defender, can also be performed after recovering from an ankle injury. Nevertheless, about fitness could be an issue for Skrtel, who missed the past three months in the English Premier League with a foot injury. (Eko Prasetyo P / Compass Print)

Susno Builds Mosque

Cuando Me Enamoro - Former National Police chief detective Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji has built a mosque in his hometown in South Dempo district in Pagaralam regency, South Sumatra. The mosque is built on a 2,500-square-meter plot and sits about a kilometer from Susno's family home, Antara news agency reported.

Zuma calls for calm

Movie Online - Police have detained two black farm workers and suspect Terre’blanche was killed in a dispute over unpaid wages, but his Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB) says he was battered and hacked to death in an attack with political overtones.

Zuma, who has made it a priority to court white Afrikaners, called it a "terrible deed" and urged South Africans "not to allow agent provocateurs to take advantage of this situation by inciting or fuelling racial hatred".

Terre’blanche (69) was the voice of hardline opposition to the end of apartheid in the early 1990s although his party has played a marginal role since then and does not have a big following among the 10 percent of white South Africans.

"We are calling on the supporters of the AWB to stay calm for the moment so that we can finalise the funeral," said AWB spokesman Andre Visagie, adding that next steps would await a party meeting in May.

"We will decide upon the action we are going to take to avenge Mr Terre’blanche’s death."

Concerns over increasing racial polarisation have been thrown into the open by a row over the singing of an apartheid-era song with the lyrics "Kill the Boer" by the youth leader of the ruling African National Congress.

The ANC has defended the song as no more than a way to remember a history of oppression, but it has worried minority groups and particularly white farmers, some 3,000 of whom have been killed since the end of apartheid.

Terre’blanche’s party did not hesitate to link the murder to the song.

He had always described himself as a Boer.

"That's what this is all about," Visagie said.

Zuma’s spokesman Vincent Magwenya said, however, there was no evidence at this stage linking the killing to the song sung by firebrand ANC youth wing leader Julius Malema.

Terre’blanche had lived in relative obscurity since his release from prison in 2004 after serving a sentence for beating a black man nearly to death.

The party — whose flag resembles a Nazi swastika — was revived two years ago and he had begun efforts to try to build a united front among white far-right parties to fight for a white homeland, but had gained little traction.

Terre’blanche was a powerful orator in his Afrikaans language and was a distinctive figure, heavily built, with a thick grey beard and dressed in khaki.

He often attended rallies on horseback during his fight to stop majority rule.

Police said the suspected killers were aged 16 and 21. Both had worked for Terre’blanche.

"They apparently attacked the leader because they were not paid for work," said spokesperson Adele Myburg, giving no details of how the killing was carried out. — Reuters.

Global Fighters for Life

When the fourth iteration of a German franchise you've never heard of lands on your desk unexpectedly, nine times out of five it's going to be rubbish. A cursory glance at the quite unbelievably bad cover, replete with a model-shot straight out of Playgirl, should've had this consigned straight to the grinty games' graveyard. Luckily, despite the fractured English on the back, the screenshots alone gave me pause. Lucky because this is actually a flawed gem of a game.

The premise lends itself perfectly to the real-time strategy game; you are the coordinator for all the emergency services in a particular section of the Western world. With a mix of police, ambulance and fire services, you can take the game anywhere and the twenty missions of the main campaign do just that.

Your stint in command will have you tackling incidents ranging from an accident at a monster truck jam, through terrorist attacks and drug raids to a final massive earthquake.

The game's hub though is your main city where you earn credits through taking care of the odd everyday incident. These can then be spent on new equipment, which in turn triggers one of the campaign missions. At first, these incidents are very minor, but as you progress require more and more complex mixes of emergency crew.

Basically, it's Tonka toy town mixed with Casualty and a bit of just about every disaster movie you can possibly think of. Playing through the campaign in the office I couldn't help the odd 'nee-naw' escaping my lips every time I sent my water bowser in to douse the flames. Even when things are going horribly wrong and a derailed train carriage is floating directly at the rescue boat trying to pull survivors out of the mess left behind by a broken dam, or a fire is raging out of control and blowing up parked cars and fire engines, there was always a grin on my face.

It's by no means perfect though; the game engine, while being sturdy and functional, rarely goes beyond that. The animation and pathfinding can be a bit ropey too, and I'm still trying to forget about the phoned-in, voice-acting with its constant repetition of a few stock phrases. But it's great fun, especially being above the law and engaging in a bit of offhand police brutality (sorely underutilized as a game mechanic since SWAT4) when you feel like a change of pace. I often decided to send along a couple of officers to accompany my ambulance or fire appliance simply to shoot/arrest anyone within ten feet of the incident. So there's an air of realism about it too.

Drummer Wannabees

Are you becoming tired and frustrated of just envisions the drums rather of rattling feeling and playing the thumping beats? If yes, then now is the right time to go to the succeeding level and sign up for drum lessons. Air drumming is nice, but in order to sincerely fulfill your aspirations of becoming a drummer, drum lessons is a must.

In reality, drumming is as easy as one, two three. Normally, many are restrained by the complex beats the drum and drummer create. But in reality, these beats are just variances of clean patterns. Right! Anyone can learn the drums. All it takes is successive studying and becoming expert on these casual beats and patterns. Soon you'll be professional drummer.

Take the initial step first, sheet reading. To create the exact sound, you must know how to read music sheets. There are different musical symbols which will be familiarized as time goes by, but sheet reading is the base which will make you to play the drums.

As the drummer, your only one obligation is counting beat. The important focus of a beginner drum pupil is on how the beats should be counted and how the subdivisions connect to each other. For new students, they are commonly instructed how to count by beating on a single drum. Make certain to count loud while tapping as this is important in learning new beats and more complex subdivisions in the future. Use of metronome may to help while tapping.

Learning to play with a single beat may be tiresome and repetitive to some but mastery of these two skills is essential. As you progress, you can learn new beats, more compound hits and other drum techniques. Students see it dull and try to rush lessons. Hastening will only restrain your development and it would be better to master the fundamentals before venturing further. Of course, once you see that you are prepared for more, there are intermediate and advanced lessons for more expert drummers out there.

Wow! 250 MPH in a car

Is this crazy? Or does it make sense? Bugatti, a small car company bankrolled by Volkswagen (VW), has brought out the Veyron 16.4 with a top speed of 248 mph – and the car was tested at the speed on the fastest track Volkswagen could find in Europe!

Nowhere else would allow the car to get to that speed and be timed for long enough to say it actually could do this. The previous record for a production car was 242 mph round the Nardo track in Italy – and that required a great deal of skill by the driver to keep the car on the banked track!

This sort of speed – and the power to get there - are pretty much off the planet, but since then, other companies - with a fraction of the resources of Bugatti – have decided they should aim for 250 mph. ‘What for?’, you might ask. I guess it is a bit like saying the moon is there so let’s go there.

W-16, 1,001 bhp engine

The Bugatti Veyron is a very impressive car, powered by a W-16-cylinder 8.0 liter engine developing 1,001 bhp. The ‘4’ stands for the four turbochargers needed to boost the engine to that amount of power. The whole Bugatti project was the idea of Dr Ferdinand Piech, then chairman of the VW Group. He wanted VW to build a car to showcase technology and to move the goal posts so no one could get close. Evidently, during testing this engine was proved to be reliable when producing 1,200 bhp.

The car does showcase technology. The engine is similar to the W-12 installed in the Audi A8 and S8, and in turbocharged form in the Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur.

The gearbox is also based on VW Group technology. It is a seven-speed sequential box with automatic or manual shifting. It has a dual clutch arrangement so that when you change gear the power continues to be transmitted all the time, one clutch disengaging exactly at the moment the other engages. Stunning technology that really delivers benefits.

The same concept is available in six-speed form in the VW Golf, Audi A3 and S3. It is called DSG. Of course, the Bugatti has a special version of this concept, made by Ricardo, a powertrain specialist in the UK.

The Bugatti has a carbon fiber structure, suspension like a racing car, and two large air intakes in the roof to keep that huge engine cool. Of course, the engine is mounted behind the driver and passenger but forward of the rear wheels.

Most exotic cars have rear-wheel drive, but the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has so much power that it has four-wheel drive. Actually, some Audis, including the 450 bhp RS4, and all Lamborghinis - also in the VW Group - now have four-wheel drive. Again, the Bugatti is showcasing group technology

If you are wondering why four-wheel drive is needed, just think about it. With two-wheel drive there would be 500 bhp going through each tire! Most makers of supercars and exotic cars think that 300 bhp per tire is plenty.

Ok, so the Bugatti was timed at 248 mph, and reaches 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. Did the other makers of exotic cars give up, and say: ‘Well, we can’t match that’?

No, Pagani, produced the 650 bhp Zonda F with an option of 700 bhp. Saleen upped the power output of its S7 to 750 bhp, while Ferrari produced a few FXXs with 850 bhp, and Maserati also has a version of the MC-12 developing 750 bhp or so.

On the other hand Koenigsegg decided not to pursue the power race for the time being at least. After all its CCR has a 806 bhp engine, and was timed at 242 mph. Instead, Koenigsegg has introduced the CCX which is designed to meet US regulations and is a more practical street machine.

Others have decided to go for maximum power including one of the tuners of Porsche 911s. Then, a small British company is introducing a car with a turbocharged 7.0 liter V-8 with a power output of 1,000 bhp. They say that the engine could be tuned to 1,200 bhp.

More will follow down this route to madness. Me? I’d go for the 500 -600 bhp myself in a car that really handles and is very, very responsive. Like a Pagani Zonda or an Ascari KZ1.

Japanese Lacquer And Exquisite Sprinkled Pictures

Before I describe these unique and beautiful works of art, exclusively Japanese, I feel that you need to know more about Lacquer, the extraordinary medium that was used. Only then will you fully appreciate these brilliant creations.

For readers who are unfamiliar with old Japanese Lacquer, I suspect you will be thinking of the typical modern Lacquer trays and bowls that are mass-produced. These items are very decorative, but completely fail to compare with the magnificent earlier hand made works.

From China to Japan

Lacquer is really the sap from a tree known as `Rhus Vernicifera'. The Chinese were the first to discover and use it, at least a century before Christ, when it was used as a paint, and more often as a preservative. It was a very effective preservative, as many pieces still exist from as far back as the Han period 206BC, when Lacquer was very popular and in extensive use.

The earliest known Japanese Lacquer dates back to about the 7th Century, but it was not until the 14th and 15th century that the Japanese Lacquer works became so much more decorative. By then they had refined and created exceptional techniques, far finer and more beautiful than the Chinese lacquer that they had simply originally copied.

The Chinese had used shades of black, brown, yellow, green, and mostly red or cinnabar Lacquer. They mainly favoured deep carving of the Lacquer, to form the decoration, and produced some outstanding work.

They often applied the colours in layers, so that once carved, these colours would be revealed. One particular technique is known as `Guri' Lacquer: the colours mostly red and black were built up in layers, and then a geometric or symmetrical pattern would be carved with a deep `V' shaped cut, so that all these alternating layers would be revealed within the cuts. The Chinese also painted, incised and inlaid Lacquer with iridescent pieces of shell, but these works were treasured by the Japanese often more so, than by the Chinese.

To begin with all these methods were copied, but by about the 15th century the Japanese had become, justifiably, the unrivalled masters of the art!

Lacquer was, quite rightly, highly valued for its lasting qualities and strength. A very high gloss could be achieved, proving impervious to alcohol, acids and hot liquids. It would also have appealed to the Zen Buddhism ideals of `Yin and Yang’, as Lacquer appears to be so delicately beautiful and light in weight. Yet, it is hard, impermeable and enduring.

The preparation

It is a very difficult medium to work with, uncompromising, sticky, and time consuming. It had to be strained to remove any impurities, and gently heated to thicken, and evaporate any moisture content. All the time it had to be kept in a dust free environment, and added to these difficulties, in its liquid form it gives off a poisonous gas! Strangely, it requires a damp humid atmosphere for it to harden.

It had to be applied in very thin layers, otherwise it runs, and if too thick, will not harden at all but will just form a skin. After each layer had hardened, all the time in a dust free area, it was carefully rubbed down before another layer would be added.

An average piece consisted of a minimum of 30 layers, in order that there would not be a trace of the wood base, or on larger pieces the hemp cloth applied in the early layers, to help strengthen the wood. The Lacquer Artist would have taken over, only at this stage, to create the decoration by the addition of yet even more layers.

The number of colours possible, due to chemical reactions with pigments and the composition of Lacquer were limited. So Lacquer artists were still restricted and blue was a very rare colour.

It was the Japanese that developed the idea and the techniques of adding gold and silver to liven up the decoration. Real gold and silver metals were used in the form of foil, flakes, metal particles of various grades, as well as powders. All of these precious metals were brilliantly used to great advantage, particularly in the late 18th and early 19th century.

The sprinkling of gold or silver metal particles had been used before and over a very long period, to brighten up the interiors. Even very early Lacquer works have `Nashiji' inside. This is where fine particles of gold have simply been sprinkled in to the Lacquer. Some were scattered unevenly, producing cloud effects, whilst others varied in the density. However no pictures were formed.

Sprinkled, not painted!

In the 18th century they invented and refined the idea of sprinkled pictures, and these were used to great effect in what are known as `Togadashi' pieces. They are easily identified, as the surface of the Lacquer is always perfectly smooth in Togadashi work.

These designs and amazing pictures were created purely, by very skilfully pouring various grades of fine metal and pigment powders on to the wet Lacquer, so that they would sink in. There was no way of correcting any errors! Extra layers of the background colour, normally black, would be added over the picture. Then by carefully polishing down until the picture reappears, the top edges of the metal particles would be made to glisten from the polish, providing brilliance impossible to achieve any other way. The last very thin coats would be of the purest clear Lacquer, providing the mirror like high gloss finish.

Various shades of black were created, by charcoal mixed with different quantities of silver powder, so that they could even simulate painted brush strokes. These powders were mainly used for black pictures on a gold background, that one would never imagine were created by sprinkling techniques. What is also quite remarkable, is the very fine degree of control in shading that they were able to achieve. This meant that far more sophisticated pictures could be created, than had ever been seen before.

There are three types of sprinkled picture techniques in all and Togadashi, already described, is my favourite! Another is `Hiramakie', which is where quite a thickly sprinkled gold powder is used, and the lacquer is raised just a little above the background. As usual the surface is polished and burnished, before the final clear layers, and has a very rich appearance. Lastly, there is `Takamakie', which is again similar to Hiramakie, only it is in much higher relief. This thickness was achieved by building up and modelling the areas required in relief, with a combination of Lacquer and charcoal, before applying the gold powder layers.

Highlights of pure gold

Many Lacquer artists made use of a combination of these techniques in a piece of work. Just to further enrich these pictures, finely shaped tiny pieces of pure gold, so small that it is hard to imagine how they were handled, are individually applied near the final surface to create highlights. Frequently these are exactly matched shapes, tiny squares or diamond pieces that are all so amazingly very accurately placed.

Togadashi Boxes

One of our favourite examples of this type of work in this collection is a fine Box that appears as two overlapping boxes. One shows the figure of the swordsmith forging the sword `Little Fox', assisted by the Fox Spirit in the guise of a woman; the other has an overall design of a mass of gold and coloured flowers.

Looking closely at the gold centres of the flowers one can see how these consist of a number of very tiny shaped flakes of gold; each flake has been carefully placed by hand.

It also has a marvellous fitted tray just in gold Togadashi of three foxes running in a landscape with a really dream like quality. The border of the tray is decorated in `Gyobu’, which is where each individual flake of gold has also been positioned by hand, rather than sprinkled.

Another wonderful Box that is purely, fine Togadashi, depicts a busy street market scene, and what more can I say, other than it is an outstanding piece of work!

Neither of these boxes is signed, but they are nevertheless, of the finest quality. To see the photographs please use the link at the end of this article. These wonderful lacquer works feature on Japanese inro too (the subject of another article).

Modern works

A word of warning when buying lacquer, it is important that the condition is both good and original. As there are now some cleverly repaired pieces on the market, expert advice should always be obtained.

Fine Lacquer is made even today, and there are certain living traditional Lacquer artists who are held in very high esteem in Japan. So much so, that some have been designated as `Living National Treasures', and their contemporary hand made Lacquer work is in high demand and extremely expensive.

I have seen an example, at a Lacquer study weekend held at the V & A museum. A remarkable modern box that combined thick clear Perspex with black Lacquer in a geometric design that really was very dramatic. Personally I still prefer the earlier works and for the cost of this modern box a very good collection could be formed!

The Great Unopposed

“My Beat” is Northwestern Wisconsin. I monitor the local government units in an eight county area. Mostly, I am concerned with the actions in the areas of land use, planning, zoning, building, economic development and private property rights.

It is a rural area. How rural is it, you ask? The eight Wisconsin counties of Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, Burnett, Sawyer, Washburn, Barron and Rusk encompass 8493 square miles. The total population (2000 census) was 183,382. That works out to 21.60 people per square mile.

The total area of the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island is 5890 square miles. Their total population(2000 census) was 4,453,884. That is 756 people per square mile.

That is how rural we are. Forty percent larger than the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. With four percent of the population of that area. That's rural.

Would you like some more statistics from “My Beat?”

Nomination Papers were due a couple of weeks ago. Local elections. A couple hundred or so. All County Board of Supervisors, in all eight counties. Numerous Mayors and City Council Seats. There are 218 seats up in all, in this area. (Not counting School Board and Town races. I have no idea how many more hundred of those there are.)

How many of them do you suppose are unopposed? Of the 218 seats, there are 159 of those seats where there is no opposition. The candidate is running unopposed. That is 73% of the seats up for election. Unopposed!

Only 59 seats have competition, for a measly 27%.

Why? Why, so many unopposed races?

* It's not the citizens think their local officials are doing a good job. That's for sure. There is enough complaining going on. On a variety of issues. At Coffee Clubs, neighbors talking, whatever. Complaints can always be heard. So, it's not citizen contentment that drives this problem.

* We have too many races and positions to fill. We don't have enough people per square mile who are really interested in serving on these boards. Let's have larger governmental units and smaller governing boards. Thus, fewer candidates to elect. Let's start some serious consolidation out there!

However, talking with my counterparts across the country, I learn this is not a “rural” problem. High density areas have just as much a problem getting opposition as rural areas do. The number of people in a district is irrelevant. So, that's not the problem.

* Our part time elected officials work for peanuts. They are grossly underpaid for their time and responsibility. But, the same problem of unopposed local officials is also rampant in large population centers, with full time positions. So, it's not money either?

We have a national problem, but without being able to identify just exactly why, it is very difficult to come up with solutions.

But, we do have a problem. Who can defend a system that produces 73% of races being decided, because the name listed on the ballot was better than “nobody.”

How do we start solve a problem, when we can't even get to the root cause of it?

Why You Should Create a Beautiful Outdoor Oasis

Like most of us, you love the great outdoors and the peace and tranquility in which it offers .We all look forward at one time or another to relieving our day to day stress by relaxing and unwinding at our favorite natural outdoor Oasis. A sanctuary where we can dwell in the songs and serenity of Mother Nature. Many home owners are now including rock gardens, waterfalls, and ponds in their landscaping plans to further enjoy Mother Nature full benefits in their own backyard.

Just imagine your very own backyard Oasis... a place where you and your family can relax and unwind while enjoying all the wonderful wildlife and plant life in your own backyard habitat. Your family, friends, and your neighbors will be envious of the beautiful ambiance surrounding your home. Everyone will absolutely love it. Imagine a wayward trip that once took precious time out of your day to that Natural Outdoor Oasis... is now merely a few feet away from your own back door!

Depending on your geographical location, your backyard Oasis will surely attract numerous varieties of birds, small animals, and even certain insects, all of which are attracted to your water source. A good idea would be for you to obtain some books with photographs showing all the different types of birds, small animals, and insects that thrive in your area, which could and most likely will pay your backyard Oasis a temporary.... if not permanent visit. I personally enjoy sitting out on my backyard deck, coffee in hand, listening to the sound of running water, and watching my prized Koi and Gold fish perform their little tricks and stunts and the birds and wildlife bathing and drinking out of my pond. It just such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

Once you decide to go ahead and build your backyard Oasis and pond, make sure that wherever you place your pond there is adequate access to an electrical source which will be required to run your ponds pumps, filters, and any other electrical pond accessories you may need or desire. I installed and cemented in next to my pond a 4 x 4 wooden post with an outdoor electrical box which allowed me to plug-in all of my pond equipment, reducing the hazardous task of having to run outdoor extension cords above ground. The best location for your pond would be a place that is clean and free from any debris or waste material that would likely enter the pond and harming or even killing your fish. Choosing a shady area will help moderate water temperatures and provide some cover for your fish. You can design your pond using a pre-formed unit, cement, or rubber lining, and filtration system of you âre choosing.


Speaking of fish, you may want to add some to your backyard pond and if so, I would suggest that you check with your local pet store in your area to see what types of fish are suitable for your pond, and the caring and maintenance of same. In my case I discovered that a mix of Koi and Gold fish thrived very well in my pond, and soon became very friendly pets. There are a wide variety of colors and types in which you can select. Be aware though....the addition of any fish to your pond can and most likely will attract certain types of predators.

There is nothing worse than caring for and raising your prized Koi and Gold fish only to lose them to a predator like the famous “Blue Heron” whom in my neck of the woods thrives on feeding on outdoor pond fish. It’s a good idea to have fish that are a little less colourful and camouflaged, which will increase their survival rate, however there is no guarantee... so what I did was purchase a net from my local pet supply store and whenever I was away for any length of time, I covered my pond with the netting and protected my prized fish from predators. Believe it or not, I even once had a “Cat” reach into the pond for a fish....falling in and having a heck of a time getting back out. Funny thing is I never ever saw that cat back in my little Oasis again.

A few things you should take note of here when it comes to adding fish to your pond. Generally and within reason, Koi and Gold fish will grow in size to that of their environment. This simply means that the larger your pond, the larger they will grow depending again on the number of fish you plan on raising. My pond was approximately 6’ wide X 12’ long, and 36” deep and held approximately 1200 gallons of water. During the winter months with this depth and the fact that I kept my pond pump circulating under water, I prevented my pond from freezing over. I also installed a small pond heater for these cold months, and my fish survived the winter just fine. I had a total of six fish with each ranging in size from 10” to 15” in length.

I invite you to visit my website for more information on the creation of rock gardens and ponds as well as numerous tips on the type of plants, pumps, design idea’s, and how to create waterfalls in your backyard pond.

Your imagination is the limit when it comes to creating the perfect rock garden, ponds, and waterfalls, that will provide an incredible habitat for your backyard, as well as increase your properties overall value. However please keep in mind that it’s always a good idea to check with your local municipal office to see if any deed restrictions are in place in your area which may prevent you from building or having a pond in your backyard. There are numerous resources offering different types and sizes of pre-formed ponds in which you can choose from, available both online and offline.
