231-mph NH wind gust is no longer world's fastest
New Hampshire's Mount Washington has lost its distinction as the site of the fastest wind gust ever recorded on Earth, officials at the Mount Washington Observatory said Tuesday. The concession came three days after the World Meteorological Organization posted a snippet on its Web site saying a panel of experts reviewing extreme weather and climate data
turned up a 253 mph gust on Australia's Barrow Island during Cyclone Olivia in 1996.
That tops the 231 mph record set atop Mount Washington on April 12, 1934.
"It's obviously a big disappointment. Having the world record for over six decades was such a part of the soul of this organization and for fans of Mount Washington around the country," said Scot Henley, the observatory's executive director.
The official title at issue is "highest wind gust ever recorded on the surface of the Earth by means of an anemometer." But to most people in New Hampshire, it was simply "the Big Wind," a source of pride.
The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15 2008. It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe - and possibly to the rest of the world.
Date: Tue, 15 January 2008 14:30:20 -0500
By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez
I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz.. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.
And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have blown up our trains and turned our be autiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe .

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.
As the writer of the award winning story 'Forrest Gump' so aptly put it, 'Stupid is as stupid does.'
I didn't write this but whoever did grew up like we did.
Subject: Fast Food??
Someone asked the other day, 'What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?''We di dn't have fast food when I was growing up,' I informed him. 'All the food was slow.' 'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?' 'It was a place called 'at home,'' I explained! 'Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.'
By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table. But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it:
Some parents NEVER owned their own house, wore Levis, set foot on a golf course, traveled out of the country or had a credit card. In their later years they had something called a revolving charge card. The card was good only at Sears Roebuck. Or maybe it was Sears & Roebuck. Either way, there is no Roebuck anymore. Maybe he died.
My parents never drove me to soccer practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer. I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow). We didn't have a television in our house until I was 5. It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at midnight, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God; it came back on the air at about 6 a.m. and there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people.
I was 13 before I tasted my first pizza, it was called 'pizza pie.' When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered itself against my chin and burned that, too. It's still the best pizza I ever had.
We didn't have a car until I was 4. It was an old black Dodge.
I never had a telephone in my room The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line.
Pizzas were not delivered to our home. But milk was. We also had an egg man who sometimes brought strawberries.
All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers --my brother delivered a newspaper, six days a week. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which he got to keep 2 cents. He had to get up at 6AM every morning. On Saturday, he had to collect the 42 cents from his customers. His favorite customers were the one s who gave him 50 cents and told him to keep the change. His least favorite customers were the ones who seemed to never be home on collection day
Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies. There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive.
If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren. Just don't blame me if they bust a gut laughing.
Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it? I cried like a baby when i read this.
MEMORIES from a friend:
My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old.
How many do you remember?
Kseniya Simonova's Amazing Sand Drawing
Her art depicts the russian loss during the war when 11 million died. It is so good it can make you cry.
"As good as this bar here is," said the Scotsman, "I still prefer the pubs back home. In Glasgow. There's a wee place called McTavish's where the landlord goes out of his way for the locals. When you buy four drinks, he'll buy the fifth drink."
"Well, Angus," said the Englishman, "at my local in London , the Red Lion, the barman will buy you your third drink after you buy the first two."
"Ahhh, dat's nothin'," said the Irishman, "back home in my favourite pub,the moment you set foot in the place, they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like, actually. Then, when you've had enough drinks, they'll take you upstairs and see dat you gets laid, all on the house!"
The Englishman and Scotsman were suspicious of the claims. The Irishman swore every word was true.
"Did this actually happen to you?"
"Not meself, personally, no," admitted the Irishman, "but it did happen to me sister quite a few times."
"When I was a lad, Momma would send me down to the corner store with a dollar bill, and I'd come back with five pounds of potatoes, two loaves of bread, three pints of milk, a pound of cheese, a packet of tea, and a half dozen eggs. You can't do that now. Too many damm security cameras."
His request approved, the CNN News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.
Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go'. The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.
Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.' 'Why?' asked the pilot. 'Because I'm a photographer for CNN' , he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.'
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me, is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?'
"Life is short. Drink the good wine first"
When you're from the country ~ you look at things a little differently...
A Montana rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door "Is your Dad home?" the rancher asked. "No sir, he isn't," the boy replied. "He went into town." "Well," said the rancher, "Is your Mother here?" "No sir, she's not here either. She went into town with Dad." "How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?" "No sir, He went with Mom and Dad." The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself. "Is there anything I can do for you?" the boy asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could take a message for Dad." "Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, pregnant."' The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded. "If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Howard."
Some good ol' boys were working up on a cell phone tower. As they start their descent, Cooter slips, falls off the tower and is killed instantly. As the ambulance takes the body away, Ronnie says, 'Well, shucks, someone should go and tell his wife.
Donnie says, 'OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it.' Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Budweiser.
Ronnie says, 'Where did you get that beer, Donnie?'
'Cooter's wife gave it to me,' Ronnie replies.
'That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?' 'Well, not exactly', Donnie says. 'When she answered the door, I said to her, "you must be Cooter's widow."
She said, 'You must be mistaken, I'm not a widow.' Then I said, 'I'll bet you a case of Budweiser you are.'
Rednecks are good at sensitive stuff.
A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale has hit Pakistan. Two million Pakistanis have died and over a million are injured. The country is totally ruined and the government doesn't know
where to start with providing help to rebuild.
The rest of the world is in shock. The USA is sending troops to help. Saudi Arabia is sending oil. Latin American countries are sending supplies. New Zealand is sending sheep, cattle and food crops. The Asian continents are sending labour to assist in rebuilding infrastructure. Australia is sending medical teams and supplies.
Canadians, not to be outdone, are sending two million replacement Pakistanis.
not irrelevant: words of founding father Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: 'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'
Well newfreakuser (nice sail brah)..., you are correct that Snopes says nay to this one,
[though Jefferson certainly exprssed distain and mistrust of banking institutions and paper currency on many occasions, this particular quotation bears all the halmarks of being a retroquote...] but theirs is also just an educated guess since nobody knows who really made the quote or when;
My favorite US presidential quote is of course 'Some people are weather wise, but most are otherwise". Benjamin Franklin - wise man
Good quote from a Founding Father! I hate to say it, but Franklin wasn't a US President! No harm, though, as I suspect you can name more US Presidents than I can name UK and French Prime Ministers!!
As to Jefferson's belief in the blood refreshing the tree of Liberty, I fear the recent Supreme Court ruling has just about guaranteed that muskets will rise again someday, this time against the corporate aristocracy that the court has so empowered.
Sad thing, that America should arise from the rejection of aristocratic rule, only to have to re-live the struggle. Instead of royalty being the enemy, now it will be Wal-Mart, Bank of America, Microsoft, Google, et al.
Geoff, it will b a shame that we have to fight again after the bad choices of leaders and directions that have been followed here, but I believe the power has been removed from the common man to have control.
When I checked into my motel I said to the lady at the desk, "I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled."
"No," she said, "it's regular porn, you sick bastard."

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children. "You all have obsessions," he observed.
To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy."
He turned to the second Mom, Ann: "Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny."
He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: "Your obsession is alcohol. This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy."
At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got up, took her little boy by the hand, and whispered, "Come on, Dick, this guy has no idea what he's talking about. Let's pick up Peter and Willy from school and go get dinner.
Up in the land of Tormod:
Norway doomsday seed vault hits 1/2 million mark
OSLO, Norway – Two years after receiving its first deposits, a "doomsday" seed vault on an Arctic island has amassed half a million seed samples, making it the world's most diverse repository of crop seeds, the vault's operators announced Thursday.
Cary Fowler — who heads the trust that oversees the seed collection, which is 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the North Pole, said the facility now houses at least one-third of the world's crop seeds.
"In my lifetime, I don't think we'll go over 1.5 million. I'd be rather surprised if we go over a million," Fowler told The Associated Press. "At that point, we'd have all the diversity in the world ... and the most secure samples."
Located in Norway's remote Svalbard archipelago, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a safeguard against wars or natural disasters wiping out food crops around the globe. It was opened in 2008 as a master backup to the world's other 1,400 seed banks, in case their deposits are lost.
An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule.
The old man headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat.
He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?" The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... Never really wanted to."
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet.
The old prospector --not wanting to get a toe blown off-- started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.
The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.
The crowd stopped laughing immediately.
The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening.
The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.
The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever licked a mule's ass?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... But... I've always wanted to."
There are a few lessons for us all here:
Never be arrogant.
Don't waste ammunition.
Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old by being stupid.
Defence Attorney:
Will you please state your age?
Little Old Lady:
I am 94 years old..
Defense Attorney:
Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened the night of April 1st?
Little Old Lady:
There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front porch on a warm spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on the porch and sat down beside me.
Defense Attorney:
Did you know him?
Little Old Lady:
No, but he sure was friendly.
Defense Attorney:
What happened after he sat down?
Little Old Lady:
He started to rub my thigh.
Defense Attorney:
Did you stop him?
Little Old Lady:
No, I didn't stop him.
Defense Attorney:
Why not?
Little Old Lady:
It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Albert died some 30 years ago.
Defense Attorney:
What happened next?
Little Old Lady:
He began to rub my breasts.
Defense Attorney:
Did you stop him then?
Little Old Lady:
No, I did not stop him.
Defense Attorney:
Why not?
Little Old Lady:
His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven't felt that good in years!
Defense Attorney:
What happened next?
Little Old Lady:
Well, by then, I was feeling so 'spicy' that I just laid down and told him
'Take me, young man. Take me now!'
Defense Attorney:
Did he take you?
Little Old Lady:
Hell, no! He just yelled, ' April Fool!' And that's when I shot him, the little bastard

It is a slow day in the small Saskatchewan town of Pumphandle and streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt and living on credit.
A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.
As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.
The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times
and has had to offer her "services" on credit.
The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment, the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.
No one produced anything.
No one earned anything.
However, the whole town is now out of debt and looks to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a "stimulus package" works

Analyzing DDR2/3/4 Memory Interfaces: Guarantee Your Margins Before You Build and Ship Boards
On-demand Web Seminar
DDRx memory interfaces are ubiquitous in today's designs, yet validating them is surprisingly complex, requiring thousands of simulations and waveform measurements. In fact, the latest data rates are well into the bandwidth range usually associated only with SERDES channels; many designers consider high-end DDRx design to be more difficult than low-end SERDES signaling. Are routing complexities forcing you to deviate from recommended vendor guidelines? Would you like to know what your real DDRx design margins are, and have a chance to improve them before you release your next board? This session will explain the use of HyperLynx's DDRx Wizard, and preview its upcoming support for the new DDR4 standard.
What You Will Learn
- Advances in DDRx interfaces, and their impact on design
- Designing and validating DDRx interfaces
- Defining constraints for the PCB design process

Everything on this buffet is good especially the salads and the butter chicken. Full bar service in the larger dining room is a plus.
This is THE BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT IN ALL OF SEATTLE!! I know this because I grew up in England and the West Indies and my husband in Sudan. We have to go once a week to visit Mr Singh's INDIA BISTRO to have one of his many delicious & authentic Indian dishes. My favorites are the Lamb Methi Curry and the Chicken Curry...... FYI for all of you CURRY lovers; Mr Singh is so gracious he willingly accommodates all of your crazy curry wishes & preferences. Life in Seattle would be devastating without the INDIA BISTRO on Roosevelt. I love me some Mr Singh =)
Excellent luncheon buffet with quality and value – We arrived around noon and found the restaurant busy. The servers were attentive and kept water glasses filled. We received very tasty naan and ordered chai tea that arrived with a excellent herbal flavor and a hint of ainse which was wonderful.
The buffet included so many choices that it took three trips to enjoy them all. Salads were cold and warm foods warm and fresh, something missing from many buffets.
The tandoori chicken was tender and extremely flavorful. I've not had better. The paneer was deeply flavored and excellent. Spicy foods were spicy but not overwhelming. My favorite was the mango mousse which was velvety, light and smooth with the right touch of aweetness.. We also enjoyed garlic naan, which had a pleasing garlic flavor but wasn't overpowering.
This is the best Indian food I've had in Seattle. Everything on the buffet was of excellent quality. I didn't feel the buffet was pricey as I've spent as much for fast food and there is no comparison to the quality, taste and healthfulness of this wonderful food..
Even though the restaurant was busy at lunch, there was plenty of free parking in a lot below the restaurant.
Now that's how Indian Food in Seattle should taste! – I have never seen any other Indian restaurant in Seattle come CLOSE to the level of variety, complexity and genius that India Bistro puts on the table when the condiments arrive. And that is what makes this Indian food restaurant above and beyond any of the rest. Yes it's a little pricey, but SO worth every penny. If you want to try a great Indian Restaurant in Seattle then go to India Bistro. Nice atmosphere and a full bar too!
Best Indian Restauant in Seattle – Love the food! Great flavor and nice ambiance. This is one of the best Seattle Indian restaurants around. I'd recommend that you call for a reservation first because they are usually crowded.
Classy Indian Restaurant – India Bistro had nice decor and great food to boot. I went straight to my faithful Tandoor chicken and it did not disappoint. Juicy, tender, flavorful. And great service. Seattle is becoming quite the hub for great Indian food.
Best Indian food in Seattle hands down. – I went here last night with some girlfriends for our ladies night and was happy my friend Sam suggested this place! It did not look like a typical Indian restaurant very classy. I am a vegetarian and they had a very large selection for me which was delicious, and my friends loved their food as well. YUM! I will be back.
Great food. Nice bar selection too. – Had lunch at India Bistro on Roosevelt today. Nice selection on the lunch buffet. Service was attentive but didn't check on me every two minutes like some restaurants. Many different kinds of Naan on the big menu. The bar looked to be very well stocked with all kinds of spirits, beer and wine. That have happy hour starting at 3pm and goes for 3 hours. Check 'em out!
Sophisticated Indian Food – Perfect for an intimate dinner. The rooms are warmly lit with a nice ambience. Service is prompt and helpful. I read a previous review regarding 2 stars being too hot. I disagree as each person in our group ordered a different heat and all were appropriately seasoned. The Mango Chicken is fabulous and the mango ice cream is superb; others ordered lamb, salmon and tandoori chicken and everyone was pleased. A great dinner for 4 for under $75.00!
Great Indian Food – The food is great here. My Indian friend brought me because it reminds her the most of her mom's cooking back home. The flavors are complex and well rounded, they don't just make it spicy and leave it at that. There's a depth to each dish that is terrific. My idea of moderately spicy doesn't match with theirs though, two stars was eye watering, though the leftovers were perfectly mellowed. This is definitely my favorite Indian restaurant in Seattle.
Elegant Indian dining in Ravenna. – The Scene

For some vacation travelers, even the most luxurious hotel room just won't do. Instead, they seek the unusual and unexpected. For these adventure seekers, South Carolina is a most rewarding vacation destination.
And no, we're not just about oceanfront hotels.
The Palmetto State offers and abundance of unique and interesting lodging options including South Carolina cabins, rental homes where guests have claimed friendly ghost encounters with Confederate soldiers and historic plantation homes.
Ever rested your head on a working farm or canoed your way to your room in a treehouse high above the scenic Edisto River? You can rock yourself to sleep with a houseboat rental in South Carolina in a crystal-clear lake or stream. Or maybe what you really need is to slow everything all the way down and spend an evening or two in the company of the warm and welcoming monks of Mepkin Abbey. Overlooking the Cooper River, the view is a stunning backdrop for meditation and reflection.
From houseboat rental in South Carolina waterways to farm houses to South Carolina cabins, rental properties in the Palmetto State are as unique as you'll find anywhere in the South. And you thought all South Carolina had were oceanfront hotels!

In 2007, Charlie, George, Tom and Mark Crave were milking 600 cows and operating an on-farm specialty cheese plant on their 1,600-acre farm near Waterloo.
Ever been to a social function when someone was standing just a little too close, just inside your personal space? Chances are, consciously or unconsciously, you took a step away.
We've all heard pseudo-scientists and friends of the environment claim that production agriculture contributes more to greenhouse gases and pollution than all of the cars in America.
You've all heard that there are three diets for every lactating cow diet formulated: the diet on paper, the diet delivered and the diet consumed. Your feeder holds the power to deliver a great diet — or really mess things up.
Volatile times increase your stress level and make it difficult to focus on what you can control on a day-to-day basis on your farm. Careful review of accurate and timely business records, however, may help you identify areas that may help improve revenues.
When it comes to visualizing the impact of potential change on your dairy, David Galligan has gadgets galore.
A common comment made by dairy producers these days is, "If we could just get the milk price up, I would be fine."
The recent corn harvest was quite unfavorable, and livestock feeders need a long-term plan for feeding the 2009 crop. In much of the Midwest, corn harvest was later than in any year in recent memory, and the prolonged moist conditions in many cases caused molds to develop on the kernels, as ears were standing on stalks in the field.
Dairy producers and those who advise them are learning more about and benefiting from the implementation and use of on-farm management advisory teams.
A producer's ability to correctly use an animal health product determines the product's ability to perform. Human error is often responsible for a product's perceived failure.
This month I'll continue discussing bacteria that cause mastitis. As you may remember, we covered the Gram-positive bacteria last month, so this month we'll cover the Gram-negative bacteria, which are usually referred to as coliforms. Gram-negatives are common in a cow's intestinal tract. Because of this, they are everywhere in the cow's environment. Infections by this family of bacteria can range from mild to very severe.
My columns on bottle- versus bucket-feeding calves piqued much interest in the dairy community (see accompanying sidebar). Inevitably, the conversations steered to one question. What should we be feeding our calves: whole milk, transition milk, treated/waste milk or milk replacer?
Large organic dairies are much more likely to generate returns above capital and labor costs, suggesting that organic milk production will migrate toward larger operations, as has conventional production, according to a USDA Economic Research Service costs study. The smallest organic operations use much more unpaid labor, accounting for most of this cost difference.
Gone are the days when milking chores dictate when you get up in the morning and when you have to be home to milk cows at night.
A reworking of the old 5-Star Dairy Quality Assurance Program, the National Dairy FARM Program is a verifiable animal well-being program. FARM stands for Farmers Assuring Responsible Management. The program seeks to provide uniform best management practices in dairy animal care and quality assurance.
Remember the Hanna-Barbera cartoon show, "The Jetsons"?
Tom Kriegl, University of Wisconsin Extension and Center for Dairy Profitability agricultural economist, has developed a scale to help farm families estimate how profitable their operation is, and to give them a sense of the amount of risk their farm business has — without requiring them to become economists.
Tom Kriegl, University of Wisconsin Extension and Center for Dairy Profitability agricultural economist, says if a family is realistic, they can usually figure out within 10 or 15 minutes where their farming operation falls on the profitability chart (at lower left).
If you were severely injured or died today, would your spouse or family know what to do with the farm? Who would milk the cows tonight, tomorrow or next week? Who would plant the crops or harvest hay? Would your family be able to make sound decisions regarding the farm's future in a time of severe stress or grieving? Unfortunately, this situation happens far too often for many families; the main farm manager or owner suddenly is injured or passes away, and the famil
How quickly would you adopt a practice that improves milk and component yields plus feed efficiency — without costing any money? "In a snap," you say?
In the first large study to track the fate of a wide range of antibiotics given to dairy cows, University of California, Davis, scientists found that the drugs routinely end up on the ground and in manure lagoons, but are mostly broken down before they reach groundwater.
In mid-November, DeLaval rolled out the world's first robotic rotary milking parlor at EuroTier 2010, Europe's largest livestock show, held in Hannover, Germany. The Automatic Milking Rotary, or AMR, is a long-anticipated game changer for the global dairy industry.
There, I said it! I prefer grass forages to alfalfa!
Many farms are far worse off. It's great that you're looking for help now.You speak of adding cow numbers and borrowing money. Neither is advisable until the real issue(s) that caused the problem are discovered and addressed. How and why did the purchased feed expense get so out of hand?
Nothing's more exciting than opening a corn silage bunker to see how this year's crop turned out. OK, so maybe there are a few things that might be more exciting.
Feeding a seasonal herd of 300 cows, pastured and milked three times a day, isn't as challenging as you might think. Rob Hunt of Vergennes, Vt., ought to know. He's been doing it successfully for years.
As a conventional dairy producer, Justin Burbrink, Brandt Farm, Bartholomew County, had a goal of maximizing milk production. Under organic dairy production for three years, his goals became maintaining herd health and focusing on moving toward totally grass-based, self-sufficient production.
When your next feed bill arrives, you're not going to want to open it. And when you do, it's tempting to log on to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and look for the lowest-priced feed ingredients.
Folks in North Dakota like to say that 25 below zero keeps the riffraff out of the state. But to Russell Edgar, Bathgate, N.D., it means opportunity.
The Stephenson High School varsity basketball teams have "got milk?
Corby Werth considers being a spokesman for the Michigan Dairy News Bureau an honor. So when a reporter called from the Northern Express in the Traverse City area, he was ready to set the record straight.
Some people who don't seek out all the facts tend to believe the first thing they hear, says Steve Edwards, a large-animal veterinarian. "If no one says otherwise, it becomes the truth in their minds," he says."That's why we need to be telling dairy's story — and preferably first. We need to be telling our story of milk production in a positive fashion, and not reactive and defensive."
We've been hearing more about how the Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy, or LGM-Dairy, insurance program is being made easier and more convenient to use. But isn't it more convenient to just contract milk through my cooperative to cover the same risks?
Your cows are never wrong! So spend more time "interrogating" them. Ask about what you can do to improve feed efficiency — changes that won't mean huge costs and diet changes.
Think about transition cow management in terms of all the changes going on in a dairy cow's body. Going from a pregnant, nonlactating state to being non-pregnant and lactating — her hormones are changing like crazy.
June may be the official month to celebrate dairy, but dairies deserve recognition every month, says Steve Dick, executive director of Ag United for South Dakota.
The first robotic milker installed in the Dakotas is apparently working well.
Looking to sell corn silage? Want to save some money on fertilizer? Want to boost your soil health?
Military families know the drill. At the end of three or four years in one location, it's time to pack up the house and move on to another destination. Each move brings new opportunities, people to meet and places to discover.
Diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans are termed "zoonotic" diseases. One of the more common zoonotic diseases is that caused by the protozoan parasite cryptosporidium.
Kyle Stockwell has been out of high school for less than four years. Yet he already knows what he wants to do — continue the family farm and milk cows. So far he deserves an "A" for his effort.
Kyle Stockwell knows cows. As a matter of fact, knowing cows is his job. "Spend enough time with the cows and you know when something is going on," says Stockwell, Hudson.
Before the World Dairy Expo this month, there was the Indiana State Fair. And for just the second time, the Indiana State Fair named a Supreme Cow as champion over all breeds exhibited during the open dairy show.
USDA's Milk Income Loss Contract Program, administered by the Farm Service Agency, compensates dairy producers when domestic milk prices fall below a specified level. The 2008 Farm Bill authorized MILC through Sept. 30. The program has no set funding level.
Like many farmers, dairy producers want to increase their profits after a sluggish economy while still producing the best milk possible. One way to increase profits is to improve dairy-herd management.
Raising corn silage was a struggle in early spring for the Phillips brothers. The weather just wouldn't cooperate on Northpointe Farm, their operation in Augusta County, Va. It was hot and dry in March, and cold, damp and wet in April, just when they needed to plant corn.
When consumers browse the cheese aisle at grocery stores, they see a popular and versatile dairy product that can be enjoyed in different ways, from grilled between two slices of bread to topping off a salad.
Tom and Judy McCarty and their four sons have learned a lot since they moved to Kansas 12 years ago to try to forge a way that would allow the entire family to be involved in dairy farming, a three-generation family legacy.
When is it time for change? There are multiple considerations — some that go far beyond the usual economics and logistics.
It is hard to imagine, but at one time Missouri was home to close to 1 million dairy cattle.
Three things brought Peter Gaul to southeast Missouri: soil, water and climate. The New Zealand native says this trifecta makes a large-scale, forage-based seasonal dairy successful.
Peter Paquin eagerly thinks ahead about his cranberry bog business. And why not? A year ago, he grew 2.5 million pounds of berries at two locations and sold his crop for 80 cents a pound.
It's as plain as the numbers in your milking reports. Cows in early lactation are generally more profitable than cows later in lactation.
It was a tough day back in August when David Iles Jr. milked his cows for the last time. After that last milking, D.E. Iles Dairy of Littleton, N.C., was no more — Iles carried the last of the animals to market that same day."The cows looked at me like they were saying, 'What is this all about?'" Iles says.
EZid, a division of Avid Identification Systems in Greeley, Colo., has announced the release of the EZid HDX Electronic Ear Tag for cattle.
We spend a lot of time talking about improving fertility within the milking herd, but we tend to overlook heifer fertility. One reason for this oversight is that the national average conception rate for heifers is 57%, a number producers can only dream of achieving in lactating cows.
As an employer, deciding whether or not to terminate an employee can be agonizing. The employee likely has a family to support; or the terminated employee may speak badly about you to your friends, neighbors or other employees. However, the most important concern you should have, besides the success of your farm business, is to make sure the employee is legally terminated, as the employer-employee relationship is filled with legal pitfalls.
Alex Hristov is onto something big — greenhouse gas big! Cows chew and belch all the time. It's what they do. And when they do it, they emit methane gas — big time, says the Penn State University dairy scientist.
Dad and I have had long, sometimes heated arguments over whether to stay in the dairy business. He doesn't want to spend money for technology to keep up. I say you have to invest forward. He owns the farm (230 acres). We average 17,680 pounds on 143 cows with a 480,000 somatic cell count (SCC). What's your counsel? Should I look for opportunities elsewhere?
If you're old enough to remember the commercial for recording tape, "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" you probably remember that the singer's voice on tape supposedly shattered glass. Experts say even a person singing live can't shatter glass.
Not far over the Hancock/Henry County line in Henry County you'll find a farm that raises forages, goats and llamas. It's a goat dairy, one of the few in Indiana, and it's well on its way to turning milking goats into a profitable business.
Drought increases many feed safety and harvest challenges, says J.W. Schroeder, North Dakota State University Extension dairy specialist.

can anyone recommend good taxi drivers?
Is there any hotels/hostels up along the Hamilton Road? In Rawandoz? Shaqlawa? Soran? Tere seems to be a couple of options for millionaires, however, is there and budget places to stay?
And how to get up there from Erbil? Hiring a taxi for the day from Erbil is certainly possible but rather expensive.

2.) Talk about the quarterback situation right now between Kain Coulter and Trevor Siemian. Right now is it a 50/50 split and who in your eyes gives them the best chance to win?
"The greatest debate this year has been how Northwestern should manage its quarterbacks. Kain Colter provides a boost in the rushing attack, but has been underutilized as a passer, while Trevor Siemian has been inconsistent as a thrower. In my opinion, NU should commit to Colter as its quarterback and unleash him as a thrower, because he does have a great arm.
3.) Many people projected Venric Mark would be a special player, but did anyone expect this type of production from the junior?
"Nobody expected Venric Mark would find himself in this role, but he has flourished to this point and has become the biggest surprise on the team, and maybe the greatest surprise in the Big Ten. Mark has shown he can bounce through the middle and has sustained durability, even while taking a beating."
4.) After the defense was not able to get it done late against Penn State two weeks ago, they responded on Saturday holding off Minnesota. How big was it for this team going forward in the confidence department?
"The biggest issue for Northwestern against Penn State was that it was unable to get off the field, namely due to third-down issues. Against Minnesota, the Wildcat defense forced turnovers, which was the most important difference from one week prior and changed the game in NU's favor. However, Northwestern's defense has enjoyed many highs and suffered through countless lows, so confidence seems to fluctuate."
5.) Last year Northwestern upset then No. 10 Nebraska at home 28-25. For a program that is moving in the right direction, how big was that win for Fitzgerald and crew?
"From a 2011 perspective, the victory was huge, as it brought Northwestern to a bowl, which seemed impossible after a five-game skid. From a long-term perspective, it was a signature win for Pat Fitzgerald and the program to hang their hats on. It meant a lot for frustrated fans to celebrate a critical win, and it's something they'll remember for a long time."
6.) Compare Ryan Field to Memorial Stadium's atmosphere?
"There is no comparing Ryan Field to Memorial Stadium, and it's hard to compare any other stadium to what Nebraska has. The environment in Lincoln is truly special. However, Ryan Field also is very unique. The stadium is located in a quiet neighborhood, but gets rowdy on Saturdays in the fall. The skyline of Chicago and Lake Michigan are visible from the west side of the stadium. It's a picturesque view that's hard to top in college football."

The issue of substituting biosimilars has been widely misrepresented in the news media up to this point, and as the legislative chair of BioFlorida, the leading bioscience industry association in Florida, I feel I must weigh in on this critical issue.
Biologics are large, complex molecules that are created using living cells. Copies of biologics, also known as a biosimilars, are often described by the media to work the same way as the innovator product. While they are expected to produce the same outcomes, this simplifies a complex problem and summarily dismisses the need for patient safety provisions.
To clarify, biosimilars are only similar, not identical, to the innovator product, and they are only "expected" to produce the same clinical result as the biologic. And, when biosimilars are most commonly used to treat high-risk illnesses such as cancer, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, we should leave little to chance when it comes to the health and safety of patients. Instituting safeguards to protect the patient will only serve to do just that and not prevent the substitution of biosimilars in any way. These safeguards aim to keep either the patient's physician or treatment team in the loop in case adverse effects emerge so the source of the problems can be identified. This relationship and trust is vital for patient protection and health.
The proposed legislation that addresses biosimilar substitution in Florida doesn't prevent the pharmacist from making a substitution, but only requires that they notify the patient of the choice to substitute, notify the prescribing physician of the substitution to an approved "interchangeable" biosimilar, follow "dispense as written" orders, and keep records of the substitution.
And, while the FDA is currently developing guidelines, they will only determine the regulatory process for the substitution of biosimilars, they will do nothing to address the dispensing of these medications, which is left to be decided upon by the states.
BioFlorida feels strongly that these provisions are necessary to ensure patient safety and do nothing to inhibit the dispensing of biosimilars. We are simply interested in protecting Florida's patients and we're proud that officials from our state are taking the initiative to protect our patients' health and well-being, rather than waiting on the federal government to hand down rules and regulations.
Tom McLain, legislative chair, BioFlorida, West Palm Beach

St. Mary's leads local teams with three on Big 26 roster

The event, run by the Big 33 Scholarship Foundation, is patterned after the annual Big 33 Football Classic, which Maryland will return to this summer for the first time since 1992.
