How to Keep Water Clear in Fountains and Ponds, Barley: Gardener's Supply
To keep ponds clear, it's best to begin treatment early in the season before problems arise. All gardeners want to be green — except when it comes to water. Whether you have a fountain, pond or a small reflecting pool, chances are good that at some point you'll have to deal with nuisance algae.

Breathtaking Pictures of Churches Around the World That You Must See
Jesus Christ was born in a manger or a shed where animals were kept. When he grew up, he led a very humble life. He did not wear any jewelry nor did he frequent the pompous palaces of kings and princes. He preached everywhere in every town and village around Galilee, Cana, Jericho and Capernaum. He did not choose the places to go nor the people to be with. Right now, there are thousands of churches around the world whose architectural design ranges from simple minimalist structures to superbly intricate designs that you’ll never think ancient architects can do. Let’s go now and check these truly breathtaking churches and be fascinated with their look. Advertisement 1. Photo used under Creative Commons from Etrusia UK 2.

I've gotten weekly reports for the past 3 1/2 years that it has been up, of all the times it has been viewed.
