When pruning is required beside using hand clippers a good sharp knife allows you to get closer then a pair of clippers. There is a "horticultural knife" specifically made for grafting and pruning and this type of task. It has a curved blade that allows for a slicing action and very clean cuts for removing buds, small branches or harvesting fruits. These knives are available in a fixed blade or pocket knives. Come to think of it there is a "harvesting knife" used by farmers and gardeners for hand harvesting such items as cabbage, lettuce and broccoli. Reed knife
I'm sure that many gardeners as well as farmers have used a sickle. Today there is a product called the "Garden Sickle-Saw" that are really nothing more than a take from an old sickle which has been around for centuries. The blade is curved and is used to cut grass and weeds. The "Sickle Root Cutter" has serrated teeth to cut roots, suckers and saplings. For use with bamboos or tall and thick reeds you may think of using a "Bamboo Hatchet."
Now for re-potting or removing plants from a pot for planting there is a garden knife called the "Flexible Potting Knife." It has a flexible tip which allows it to be worked around a root ball releasing the plant undamaged from its pot. The hardened part of the blade makes it easy to shape and trim the root ball. There is a knife called the "Garden Machete." These knives will do a variety of chopping jobs in the garden. KME

The Aztec calendar 2012 incorporated two different counting systems: the first Aztec calendar 2012 called the Xihuitl, was made up of 18 months, with 20 days each (360 days) with an additional 5 days (called the Nemontemi) tacked onto the end. The other Aztec calendar, the Tonalpohualli, was a ritual Aztec calendar round made up of 20 day signs (with names such as reed, knife, house, rabbit, etc.) set against a "week" of 13 days. The counting would follow the pattern of 1 reed, 2 knife, 3 house, 4 rabbit, etc. This cycle would repeat itself every 260 days. (i.e.. the date 1 reed would appear every 260 days). Edge Pro
Each of these calendrical systems had their purpose. The Xihuitl helped to record seasonal events and annual ceremonies while the Tonalpohualli assisted in divination and various ceremonies. These two calendars ran concurrently and repeating dates would appear only every 52 years (e.g.. the Xihuitl date of 1 Izcalli (the first month) and the Tonalpohualli date of 1 Crocodile would occur only every 18,980 days).
According to the Aztec calendar 2012, the end of the world will be in the exact date of 12/21/2012. At this day all the stars will be lined up and earth will start to change. According to the Aztec calendar in the end of the year 2012 there will be hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and many more destructive phenomenas including asteroids hitting our earth. Wicked Edge
This in not just media hype you can see the signs of the end of the world even today. For example the global warming - earth climate is changing a bit everyday, if we will continue to live like that, then by the end of 2012 the world will come to it's end. The Mayan already knew this day will come. All this time we have been blind to the apocalypse and now we have little time to stop it, not to mention to be prepared.
Nothing has ever given me such a radical sense of satisfaction as my chrome bed bars. They were installed on my 93 Dodge Ram truck shortly after I turned 16, and made me feel like I was on top of the world.
Chrome bed bars can give you the same feeling, as they are a great accessory for any truck. They are also called roll bars or light bars, and come in several versions. There are single-single, double-single, double-double and triple-double versions on the market. Mosaic Pins
Bed bars should not be confused with bed rails. Rails run down the sides of a truck bed and give it a simple boost in looks, and occasionally will be used to tie down items during transport. Bed bars install and stick over the top of the truck, providing style and protection for the truck.
Other than looking really sharp, bed bars are a very important safety element for your truck. They often have fog lights attached, which help with navigation during times of questionable visibility.
Bed or roll bars also protect the cabin of your truck if it flips and rolls over. These sturdy bars can keep the roof from caving in on passengers during an accident. leather knife roll
These bars are so durable, that most manufacturers offer extended warranties. Purchasing roll bars will not only make your truck look better, they will literally make your truck better by making it much safer. The skills listed below are in a general progression order. Start parent and tot classes at Level A as well as all other preschool groups to make sure they understand and have mastered the basics. Keep a checklist for each class. Record and date each skill when you introduce new ones to the class. This is helpful when a substitute teacher is needed. He/she can immediately determine the group level and teach appropriate skills. Also, the checklist is helpful to show parents how their children are progressing.
A back hip pullover seems to be a difficult skill for young students to master. Use a ladder hanging from the high bar for students to walk their feet up. When their tummy is near the low rail, tell them to do a chip-up and kick their feet over. You can also use stacked panel mats or a trapezoid piece to assist the kick over action. When using stacked panel mats, unfold a section to make the kick-off point lower as they get stronger. After these drills, have them do chin-ups for strength development. When teaching the back hip circle insist that the feet stay high on the front support finish position. bar bag
For front supports, I suggest that you chalk the preschooler's thighs where you want them to touch the bar (the little ones have a tendency to lay their tummies on the bar). I don't recommend most classes use chalk. However, there may be some girls and boys in the older classes that might need it. Don't sacrifice safety for cleanliness. For casting, tell the children to first hunch like a cat, lock their legs and squeeze their bottom. To keep their legs together, have them hold a foam piece or beanbag between their knees. Tell them to lock their arms and raise their chest high with their necks stretched tall like a giraffe.
