      SNV17707Cricket specialist total-play Ltd has re-launched its innovative range of non-turf surfaces for match and practice play to make it easier for clubs to find the solution that meets their needs. the company’s flagship non-turf pitch system tp365, which carries ECB approval, remains unchanged and is popular with cricket clubs from grass roots to professional. Offering unparalleled stability and balanced play for the modern game, the system is proving itself at every level, from junior to first-class cricket. Utilizing the exclusive tp1 playing surface carpet and tp2 shock pad, the tp365 design is built to provide a low-maintenance and long lasting ‘roll free’ system. the Wilton woven tp1 playing surface is free draining, designed to encourage spin and create a balanced game. Greater pile height and turf density, when compared against more traditional carpets, provides the right performance characteristics for the modern player and increases lifespan. New to the range are two systems which, while not ECB approved, have been carefully developed meet different ground and play conditions. the tp5 non-turf pitch solution is designed to provide a consistent, all-weather dynamic playing surface for all round play and age groups. the design uses a tufted carpet, offering good pile height for ball spin which, when combined with the tp2 shock pad, provides assurance of a consistent playing surface. best suited to a porous aggregate-based construction, the system is built to provide a good value, long-lasting, high performing surface. Indoor and concrete based surfaces are served by tp6; specifically designed for use on hard, non-porous surfaces. using the specially developed tp6 non-porous, needle punch playing carpet with a PVC backing, the surface can be secured permanently or rolled up and stored away where the base surface is required for other uses. the PVC backing means that the carpet is suitable for use alone or with a shock pad for enhanced surface longevity. the properties of tp6 are ideally suited to the improving cricketer – with reduced spin, slower ball speed and less ball deviation, players can hone their skills under more controlled ball conditions. this range means that any club, regardless of size and budget, can invest in a system that will suit their needs and offer excellent value for money, as ex-cricketer and MD at total-play, David Bates, explains: “The total-play NTP range has been developed by a team with extensive experience of both playing cricket and ground management; we combine science and sport to create solutions that really work in practice. We’ve differentiated between the products in the range with the aim of offering clubs real choice when it comes to the solution that will work best for them, depending on budget and circumstance. We’re always on hand to offer advice as to which system would best suit an individual club’s needs, and provide installation and maintenance services too, so it’s a real ‘one stop shop’.” in terms of installation services, total-play was the first non-turf pitch supplier to be awarded the ECB Non-Turf Pitch (NTP) Code of Practice installer status, having met all criteria of the ECB’s ‘Code of Practice for the design and installation of non-turf cricket facilities’. All cricket pitches and facilities are installed by a fully qualified in-house construction team while the use of fit for purpose machinery and equipment means that each project is built and finished to the exacting specification of the design. total-play’s range of non-turf pitches, including the ECB approved tp365 system, is available to purchase online exclusively at thecricketgroundshop.co.uk alongside a broad range of cricket ground essentials, from ground sheets though to screens, stumps and maintenance equipment. for more information on the range full of total-play offerings call 01604 864575 or visit total-play.co.uk

        1303192856 34 With Love: The List(s)This week marks the beginning of my 6th month of pregnancy.  with only 14-16 weeks left I felt like it was probably time for me to actually read my Pregnancy Guide.  According to my OB I have some work to do this month which includes….

        1. Signing up for child birth class & breast feeding class
        2. Taking a tour of the hospital
        3. Starting prenatal yoga class 
        4. Pre registering with hospital administration
        5. Working on our birth plan

        Easy stuff and nothing that my doctor hadn’t already mentioned.  Then, when reading Dear Baby this morning, Melissa had a list of items she needed to do/buy before the birth of her 2nd child.  the list included…….

        1. Give the house a good deep cleaning.  
        2. Stock up on hand soap/sanitizer. 
        3. Load up on Pads/Depends.    
        4. Buy some granny panties. 
        5. Add a waterproof mattress cover. 
        6. Give friends a key to the house. 
        7. Freeze some dinners in advance.  
        8. Purchase disposable breast pads

        This list seemed much more helpful, especially since this is my rookie season.  I mean seriously…..Depends……no one tells you about that kind of stuff.  So if I missed anything PLEASE let me know.  I’ve obviously never done this before and need all the advice I can get.  thanks!

          1303020066 32 Learning it's not silly to paint the lily

          Daniel, 4, discovers giant Amazon water lily pads can grow as wide as he can reach. Source: The Advertiser

          TAKE a closer look at the giant Amazon water lily, beyond its spectacular flowers and to the fine structure of its leaves for a lesson in engineering.

          A group of 40 teachers from 30 different schools recently heard the history of the lily at a workshop in the Adelaide Botanic Garden, organised by the South Australian Science Teachers Association.

          The teachers toured the State Herbarium and the Museum of Economic Botany, but the highlight was a session on botanical drawing with local artist John Whitney.

          Gardens education officer Cat Stone said she hoped the teachers would encourage their students to draw plants in class.

          "Looking closely reveals details that you might not otherwise see," she said. "That’s so important in botanical illustration, and that’s an important thing for students to do when they are studying science."

          Director Stephen Forbes said strong powers of observation enabled Sir Joseph Paxton to learn from nature. he cultivated the lily from seed collected in Guyana, South America, and marvelled at the architecture of the leaves.

          Paxton famously used what he saw in the leaf to build a better kind of glasshouse. Then he designed London’s Crystal Palace.

          "The leaf is the basis for modern cities," Mr Forbes said.

          "Modern skyscrapers, which are basically glass and steel, are based on Paxton’s idea. It’s biomimicry: the idea was stolen from the giant Amazon water lily leaf."

          Greenwith Primary School science co-ordinator Dominica Thomson said the workshop was inspirational. "It was really good to link science with art, because so often it’s kept in isolation," she said.

          "We should be teaching across all the curriculum areas. Art is just such a beautiful outlet and it doesn’t have to be exact. John Whitney talked about letting go, so working on a scientific drawing of the water lily is one thing, but then also enjoying the beauty of it for the art is another."

          Daniel, 4, from Colonel Light Gardens, enjoyed learning about the lily. "The flower is pretty and the leaves are very strong, they hold a lot of weight," he said.

                    1302156065 61 Live Green Will Give Us a World with Fresh Air and Clean Water

                    Whenever it comes to green living, the only place we need to see is our home. every big success has to start small, green living is no different.

                    Whenever some interesting , shiny , gadget like home product shows up, people will definitely be interested, because it literally means stuff for your home and garden needs, that’s universally true, and  there is no exception. We all know that the home and garden category is huge, and the product line is ever growing, old ones gone and new ones pouring in, sometimes due to technology advance, old products obsoleted and new ones spring up, sometimes due to society evolution, some products no longer are socially viable and new ones will be brought to market, here is the most prominent example, solar panel for household heating and electricity needs, these are new in recent years, now there are a lot large scale community solar projects, this is technology advance as well as social evolution, of course, this is just one of the countless examples.

                    Now let’s go back to our root of life. though a large percent of home products get new tech, some of them are the same as maybe more than ten years ago, say bungee cords , maybe there are new ones made from some new materials, since we use these things for so long we get used to the usual suspect. and here comes moving blankets , people probably used cotton to make these pads fifteen years ago, it’s most likely people are using recycled materials to make these pads, most likely there are no moving pads made from natural cotton any more, cost and environment wise the recycled materials are the most economic ones. and one other product, camo blankets, for obvious reason almost all these on the market have recycled material inside, of course there are cotton ones, in some cases you will find some high end ones with natural material inside, but I will choose the one with recycled material inside over those ‘real’ ones, it gives me warm feeling when I use something made from recycled stuff, I am part of this planet and I know I want to do something for it.

                    anything renewable and sustainable is good for this world, especially the most important things like energy and basic material, if you can feel what our plant feels, then go green is such a natural choice, do what we have to for our earth, as a family, the planet and mankind, will have a future full of hope.

                    Live green is not our only duty, we have to let people understand green life as well, when more and more people understand green living, we are getting more closer to true green life. Blogging is the perfect venue for delivering green message,  post your personal experience on blogs such as pets for us , the more posts you do the easier for people to get the message, it becomes easier to achieve our green life goal.
