-Does Juan Martinez Need a Time Out?+Are you tired of closing the drapes because looking at your yard depresses youWhile many people give up on their landscaping and just pray it fixes itself, that strategy tends to fail. Instead, pick up your trowel and get ready to renovate your yard with a few simple ideas like those you'll find below.[[http://​raghuram11.postbit.com/​the-most-useful-crops-to-select-for-a-hardy-landscaped-backyard.html|ground reinforcement products]]
  
-Juan Martinez has shown himself to be a very direct interrogator. If he asks a yes or no question, he wants a yes or no answer, not some drawn-out explanation. The prosecutor is attempting to obtain justice for Travis Alexander, who was brutally murdered on June 4, 2008 by his then-lover Jodi Arias. She faces the death penalty if convicted, but she is trying to get off on self defense, claiming she was abused by the deceased and she did it to save her own life. 
-As Mr. Martinez cross-examined domestic violence "​expert"​ Alyce LaViolette on Tuesday, she said, "If you were in my group, I would ask you take a time out, Mr. Martinez,"​ likely referring to the aggressive interrogation tactics he has used. This led to further scolding by Judge Sherry Stephens, who has had to give many instructions to this witness especially, as she tries to dodge and weasel around the prosecution'​s questions. During her testimony last Thursday, she asked, "Mr. Martinez are you angry at me?" which led to throngs of laughter from court spectators. Not really a laughing matter, but there has to be light among the darkness, right? An interesting point was brought up, though: Did Ms. LaViolette view Ms. Arias'​s testimony? Her attitude seems to imply so, but that's against the rules, right? 
-Though Ms. LaViolette was berated by the judge, her performance is unbecoming of a professional,​ which she claims to be. Her quippy little retorts seem to be betraying her "​expert"​ status. And at a rate of $300 an hour for her testimony, you'd think there would be more focus on Jodi Arias'​s personality and the murder of Travis Alexander, rather than the incessant talk of fairy tales, like whether or not Snow White was a battered woman. Ridiculous. 
-Juan Martinez seems to be exacerbating his point, that he believes Ms. LaViolette to be guilty of bias, showing that she prejudicially judged evidence to favor Ms. Arias. She is claiming that it is obvious that Jodi was a victim of abuse at the hands of Alexander, that he was controlling and hurtful, cracking her already fragile self esteem. Some say that Jodi Arias seems to be pretty self confident, and, really, happy with herself overall, as she showed in her 18 days on the stand, not telling about the day she murdered the man she "​loved."​ But if Jodi was lying when she said all that other stuff, why is she to be believed now? What says that this is the true story? And if she was lying, then all the evidence this expert has looked through could be filled with lies, which would make her determination of domestic violence invalid, wouldn'​t it? 
-Before the trial began on January 2, it was believed it would go on into April. However, at the end of court today, the judge asked the jurors to check their calendars for a few dates, leading into May. The dates were Fridays, which is a day court is not normally in session. Perhaps they are finally seeing a need to get this wrapped up, as Jodi Arias'​s defense is already costing Arizona taxpayers over $1.4 million. Even so, it seems there will be several more weeks before a verdict will be rendered. Are the jurors following the prosecution'​s path, or do they see the possibility in Jodi's third tale of what happened to her lover. Mr. Martinez is to resume his cross-examination on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. PST. [[http://​verchini.com/​that-lung|that lung]] 
  
 +Lose the tape measure. Unless you are planting a vegetable garden where you need to have to order, stay away from measured spacing. A row of plants equally spaced in a row looks neat and orderly - and completely unnatural. For a flowing and natural look to your landscape, vary the spacing and types of plants you choose.
  
 +Consider adding a fireplace into your landscaping plans. Outdoor fireplaces have become very popular due to local ordinances having laws against fire pits and various other outdoor fires. Even in warm climates, it is nice to warm up by a fire in the evening hours, and can be a great focal point during outdoor events.
 +
 +Consider hiring a landscaping firm for your landscaping project. Unless you are a complete expert on the matter, it is likely in your best interest to have the liability on someone else. Trees, shrubs and flowers are all quite expensive, and if ruined due to being planted incorrectly,​ they will have to pay for the error.
 +
 +The long term success of your landscaping is dependent upon preparing the soil before you start planting. If you condition your soil and add mulch, not only will your efforts enhance plant growth, it will also significantly reduce the number of weeds in your landscaping. An additional benefit of preparing the soil is the reduced amount of water which you will need to maintain landscaping that is both beautiful and healthy.
 +
 +While growing exotic plants may bring a good look to your garden, don't use them unless you are ready for all of the maintenance,​ and care that is involved in that. Planting things that are native to the area require a lot less work, and it lowers the chance that plants will perish.

 +Before beginning any landscaping job or even buying any equipment, it is a good idea to have a thorough plan of what you want to accomplish. Be as precise as possible on what features you want to add or remove, so that you will know exactly what needs to be bought to complete the task, and how long it will take.
 +
 +Choose plants to use in your landscape that are native to your area whenever possible. If you choose plants that grow in your area, it'll be easier to maintain them, and you'll be able to get advice from more people if you need help growing them. Foreign plants may not grow as well in your climate and may be more difficult to get ahold of and maintain.
 +
 +A carefully chosen landscaping project can be used to showcase features, or distract the eye from certain unsightly structural aspects of a home or business. Highlight an interesting architectural detail with spot lighting, or sheared shrubs. Plant tall grasses to conceal unattractive elements, such as a visible foundation, or air-conditioning unit.
 +
 +For any landscaping job, a consultant will be your best friend. It is not necessary to hire a landscaper to do the full job for you, but you will want to hire a consultant that will help you with your plans. The advice of a consultant will keep you from making costly mistakes when you actually start landscaping.
 +
 +If your soil is really rocky, use that to your advantage. They are so many types of plants of drought tolerant you can plant in your yard or even consider creating an entire rock garden. This is a lovely way to landscape your yard without continuously fighting to keep your plants healthy, hydrated and alive.
