Safe, Humane Deterrent Helps Protect Your Garden A huge amount of time and energy goes into keeping your yard and garden looking great, so it’s only natural that you want to protect them from damage caused by hungry wildlife or local dogs and cats. But there are lots of reasons to avoid chemical deterrents, traps, and hazardous electric fences. Whether you’re a dedicated organic vegetable gardener or a parent looking out for the health of children and pets that play in your yard, you’ll appreciate the simple, innovative, and effective water-based concept behind the Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler. It’s also a great choice for neighborhoods where fences are prohibited and for people who consider wire fences and other visual barriers unappealing. When the ScareCrow detects an animal it instantly releases a short but startling burst of water. The sudden spray of water and the movement and noise of the sprinkler scares animals away. Animals associate this negative experience with the area and avoid your yard in the future. Versatile and Broad-Reaching for Maximum Effectiveness The Scarecrow is versatile enough to keep deer, rabbits, and other foragers from snacking on plants and bulbs, to prevent dogs from digging up newly seeded lawns, to keep the cat from using your garden as a litter box, and to scare predators like herons and raccoons away from your fish pond. The ScareCrow’s motion detector is powerful enough to guard an area up to 1000 square feet of coverage with a single sprinkler. For added coverage, Scarecrow sprinklers can be linked in series to guard larger spaces. Efficient Design and Easy to Set Up Setting the Scarecrow up is fast and easy, and doesn’t require any special tools. Simply install a standard 9-volt battery, connect the sprinkler to your hose, push the 17-inch stake into ground to secure the unit, and set the adjustable sprinkler arc to cover the area you want protected. What’s in the Box Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler Keep cats from using your garden as a litter box or prevent raccoons and herons from snacking in your fish pond.

Tax-Funded Radical Pacifica Radio Spins Bachmann as Ayatollah, N. Korean Despot, and ‘Anti-American’ Racist

Left-wing media outlets are really eating out of former Christian evangelist Frank Schaeffer's hands as he paints Michele Bachmann as the outer fringe of the fringe, and “anti-American.” On the radical-left yet taxpayer-subsidized Pacifica Radio show Democracy Now on Wednesday, host Amy Goodman encouraged Schaeffer to unfurl charges that Bachmann was somehow comparable to Ayatollah Khomeini and Kim Jong Il — two-thirds of Bush's Axis of Evil countries — and somehow, an outdated believer in Bronze Age mythology. Pacifica touted his latest article on the lefty site Alternet, titled “Are Michele Bachmann’s Views about 'Christian Submission' Even More Extreme than She’s Letting On?” Schaeffer began by saying Bachmann “doesn't just come from the far right of evangelical politics. She comes from a fringe even of the fringe, which is the Reconstructionist, Dominionist movement, that honestly, in the best of all worlds, as far as they're concerned, would replace American democracy with a theocracy on a Christian level that would mirror something like modern-day Iran after it fell to the Ayatollah Khomeini.” Goodman played a clip of Bachmann as a state senator warning in 2004 about gay-activist Minnesotans getting married in Massachusetts and then trying to get it recognized in Minnesota, as if that warning was beyond daffy. Schaeffer was better at illustrating daffiness: SCHAEFFER: Well, look, you know, I spend the whole of my book Sex, Mom, and God

Google Magnifier curates Music Beta tracks, has nothing to do with burning ants

At school, Tim Quirk’s friend had an English cousin who sent over new records from the motherland. Now he’s paying the favor forward as head of Magnifier , a blog informing Google Music Beta members about new, interesting bands with free, exclusive tracks. One click adds the exclusive content to your Music Beta library. Google is calling Magnifier a “music discovery” site, making a big deal that only artists the editorial team thinks are “pretty great” will be featured. Sadly if your taste is more esoteric than My Morning Jacket, it may not be for you. Somehow we doubt Magnifier will get around to releasing exclusive Adriano Celentano tracks any time soon.
