November 2008 Part 2
To say the border crossing into Paraguay from Corinda, Argentina was a dream would be an understatement. Immigration and customs were extremely helpful with a lot of hand shaking and smiling. Not a tout to be seen and the bike parked in front of three police officers while we took care of the paperwork. Fantastic. Entering new countries we always spend some time adjusting to different driving quirks. Paraguay was no different and a small traffic jam caused an impatient bus driver (20 seats) to overtake us at a poor moment (oncoming truck) then chop across on top of us. A spray with the flashing headlight, horn/siren combo woke the driver and the ticket man up. Our first police check just outside Asuncion was painless and we joined the chaotic traffic into the city centre.

Patricio and Carol
Once again a HU community guy helped us with the address of a suitable hotel near the heart of the city. We met Patricio and Cecilia early in the evening showing us around their fair city by car and enjoying a meal at a sidewalk café in the warm night air.
The muggy heat near Rio Parana was similar to weather in tropical north Queensland. Undeterred, we walked the streets of Asuncion the next day in the oppressive humidity taking in the sights. On one occasion we were stopped by security guards to allow the President to drive by in his Limo. Patricio joined us for dinner again and he chose a small bar/restaurant opposite the Palace. A beautiful view.
The low Chaco area
Recent rains had caused flooding
Bridge over the Rio Paraguay near Concepcion
To get to Concepcion we crossed a very wet Trans-Chaco Highway to Pozo Colorado. Rain a few weeks earlier had flooded the plains and still lapped the edges of the road flowing quickly through pipes beneath the tarmac to disappear into huge seasonal lakes. Palms dominated the vegetation and the small Indian houses beside the road were inundated. Apparently this flooding occurs annually and we wondered why people persevered to live here when their houses obviously became submerged. Plenty of birdlife along this stretch of road however traffic was minimal. Lunching at a roadhouse at Pozo Colorado we then headed east on Ruta 5. The country side in Paraguay is very flat and when a large construction appears on the horizon it certainly stands out as did the bridge just before Concepcion.
New make or was it a merger?
Dont worry about the oats, diesel is fine!
Horses, carts and scooters are common in Concepcion
Market stalls
We passed several likely hotels to stay at riding around town but eventually settled on the Hotel Center. A colourful place with a lock up garage or a court yard for the bike. We sat on the footpath enjoying a cool drink and watched the hundreds of scooters cruise by. Solos, doubles, trios and even a family of four!!! Who needs TV? I sent a text to Patricio in Asuncion saying we had arrived OK and asked him to recommend a local food for us to try. One was a baked curried fish dish and absolutely delicious. Strolling the streets the next day was HOT but we took in the sights including markets, a large biblical monument and noted we must have missed a major Motorcycle company merger!!! (Yamazuky!!!) Horse and carts were as prevalent as new scooters even at the garages.

Riding Ruta 5 to Yby-Yau then Ruta 3 to Villarica we appreciated the lushness of Paraguay after the very dry terrain in the centre of Argentina. The sharp contrast of red soil against green vegetation extended as far as the eye could see and the undulating countryside made for easy traveling. People were super friendly and we felt most welcome even by the Police who checked our passport and bike papers frequently.
Villarica was not as enticing as indicated in the guide book and we departed after one night heading to the commercial border city of Ciudad del Este. Although we made good time the Police checks were becoming a little too frequent with some only 10 kms apart. At one particular check point we were greeted with much hand shaking and welcome to Paraguay. It was a very busy time but we believe there were three or four officers present and they insisted on photographs with the bike and police car. When all the happy snaps were done one officer returned to the nearby station reappearing with a sticker Paraguay Policia Caminera insisting it be placed on our screen immediately. No complaints here as this little item made all the future Police checks very quick and easy. Thanks guys. Now lets see if we can get one for Argentina and Chile!!!
Bagging flour
Local shop with meat hanging outside
Saturday is not a good day to arrive at Ciudad del Este, a duty free shopping city bordering Brasil. It was hot, the traffic crazy, pedestrians even crazier and we could not follow our very average map of the city. Unable to locate the tourist office despite asking business people and policemen we ventured into the backstreets trying to find a hotel via the guide book. The old rule applies here if any accommodation is mentioned in a guide book the place becomes very popular and generally over priced. Fortunately there were several hotels/hostels and residencials located in the area and we found a suitable one with a delightful girl on reception who decided to learn several words of English during a brief stay.
Traffic chaos in Ciudad del Este
Night lights on Itaipu Dam
Besides the frantic shopping C.d Este is the city where we could access the worlds largest Hydro-electric dam. Situated on the border with Brazil the Parana River is dammed by the Itaipu Dam. The tourist authority conducts night tours on Friday and Saturday evenings. Parking the bike near the entrance we caught the bus out to a very dark dam wall. From a viewing platform the lights gradually illuminated this huge structure to the rising crescendo of very loud orchestral music. The best thing, this hour long show was free. Very impressive.
The spillway

Rheas and Capybaras at the small zoo
The ever smiling receptionist from Hotel Venecia
The contrast from the crazy Saturday arrival to the Sunday was amazing. C. d. Este was like a ghost town with 99% of the businesses closed. If fact the only food houses we could find open were MacDonalds and Burger King and what a roaring trade they were doing!! Business resumed as normal on Monday and the chaos returned. Spending the morning cruising the retail outlets was enough and we escaped the city to take in another free tour of the dam only in daylight. Before returning to the shopping frenzy we dropped into a free zoo and museum on the highway back to town.
Most places have tidy gardens and trimmed trees
Gomeria, tyre repair shop in English
Enough of this consumerism, we headed towards Trinidad to look at the ruins of a few Jesuit Missions. Accommodation in the area was sparse so we returned to the German town of Hohenau and searched the streets for a suitable bed. Prices contrasted significantly for a similar standard of room. Perseverance paid off and we joined a German couple traveling on bicycles who had bunked down in a quiet hotel for a few days rest. Igel and Paola also carried a third traveler, Rambo, a small black and white terrier. He was one very fit dog and often ran 50 60 kms a day before hitching a ride in his little trailer behind Igals bike.

The Jesuit ruins looked impressive perched on top of cleared hill and took some time to investigate. The remaining buildings protruded from a well grassed field (mowed) and were reasonably well maintained with considerable restoration visible around the main Church.

Bidding the bicycle trio farewell we headed to San Ignacio Guazu, a short ride of under 200 kms chasing more Jesuit ruins with maybe a little more history and the buildings perhaps in a better state of repair. Our Guide book spoke of many Hispano-Guarani buildings still standing in San Ignacio so we walked the town looking for access to these monuments however we experienced little success even when we spoke to an English speaking missionary. Most if not all the buildings were closed. Our efforts were then diverted to Santa Maria de Fe some 12 kms away where success was guaranteed when we noticed a film crew doing a documentary around the Museum. The building contained many artifacts plus several wooden sculptures. A very informed guide assisted with our queries and after all was done called us back into the garden behind the building to see some wild monkeys swinging through the trees.

Our short jaunt through Paraguay was all but done as we rode a couple of hours to the Encarnacion - Posadas border with Argentina. The queue of cars on the Argentinean side backed up to the San Roque bridge crossing Rio Parana. It was an uncomfortable wait in the noon day sun. Reaching the customs building we rode under an awning, parked and proceeded inside where we watched the customs personnel execute a shift change. The staff then began passing the buck on who was going to process us. We were processed eventually with the lady demanding a return of our temporary import papers as she had listed the BMW as a car and not a motorbike. Wonder what she was thinking as we stood there with all our bike gear!!!

It was hot in the queue to cross into Argentina
November 2008 Part 1
Some days you wake up and know that the day will bring a great ride. The air was cool and crisp outside as we packed the bike in Campo Quijano and entertained an early start, but the plan back-fired as this little village had no petrol station. Carol had planned a shortcut to meet with Ruta 33 and this took us through a town more likely to have fuel. About 10 kms down the road, Rosario de Lerma was having a peak hour moment when we arrived and directions were needed through the maize of one way streets to find to the YPF (fuel station). The road out of town had few sign posts and reduced to a gravel track between farms within minutes. Looking lost at a crossroad a local on a small bike waved us south as we yelled Pulares through our helmet chin bars. Pulares was at the road junction of Ruta 33 and our little short cut.

Green and red hills
A good section of ripio
AARRGGHH What a view
The road below and Ken being a kid, he always stands too close to the edge
This is as close to the edge as Carol would go
Some backpackers we had met in Salta advised that the road to Cachi was not a problem although there were several small patches of ripio before the all ripio road continued up the mountain valley. Lush forest hugged the paved road which followed Rio Escoipe however small patches of dirt punctuated the easy flow of the gentle climb. Recent rain had caused some small landsides and workmen were clearing the rubble in a few spots. As the road climbed higher the sections of ripio, carved into the cliffs, became longer and narrower however the surface was firm and caused little problem. The number of hairpins increased as we climbed and traffic gave us some dust issues but our pace was slow due to the number of photos taken. We peered back down along the road just ridden from a number of convenient lookouts watching the dust spiraling up from traffic heading in the same direction. The grassy hills were green after recent rain and we also noticed several greenish cliffs of copper ore along with the normal bare red rock. At 3348 mtrs Piedra del Molino was not as high as some previous passes but getting there was certainly more spectacular. An open plain with little vegetation greeted us and a small group of guanacos eyed us suspiciously as we snapped away. The track deteriorated slightly as the gravel increased through a small cutting then opened up onto a large plain dotted with thousands of candelabra cactus. The pavement started again but the tempting smooth, straights could not draw us away from some close encounters with these spiked, hardy trees. A few other tourists had also stopped to take photos.

The sheltered valley around Cachi supported a large pre-Inca Indian (Diaguita) population due to the fertile land and abundant water supply from melt and local rivers. Arriving in the heat of the day just after lunch there were few people about, however our routine of touching base with the Tourist Office looking for suitable accommodation brought immediate results and we stayed at Hospedaje y Comedor Neriz which was comfortable but a construction in progress. It was an easy walk to town where the Museo Arqueologico opposite the town square revealed some of the history of the local ancient tribe.

Lamb asado and trimmings
We had no cooking facilities at the Hospedaje so we dined out for most meals. The most memorable being the lunch time lamb asado at a very popular sidewalk restaurant with no name!!. Lamb is Carols favorite meat and cooked this way well it does not get much better. After consuming a huge portion of meat and fresh salad the waiter returned enquiring if we would like more!!! We dont do this every day thats for sure!!!
We enjoyed two tranquil nights in Cachi and could return for more quite easily. Its popularity however is seeing many new buildings and numerous tour buses frequenting the area. Lets hope none of its character is lost with this progress.
The fertile valley around Cachi
Up with the clouds
The ride back was just as good
Departing we ventured up a steep climb close to town to sight the cemetery which also gave a nice view over the valley. The return ride was as spectacular as the ride in and the temptation to take even more photos was ever present. Can recommend this area as a must do and see in Argentina.
Returning to Salta we spent a day sorting our route for the next few weeks then departed in the direction of Paraguay.
An easy exit accompanied the early start as we headed along Ruta 9 through undulating hills and farmland towards San Jose de Metan. Just before this town we veered east along Ruta 16 where the agricultural farming became more herd farming with goats, cattle and sheep straying across the road due to the lack of fencing. Our pace was consistent although we stopped for a chat with two Brazilian motorcyclists in the middle of nowhere who had come from the town we were planning to stay at should we make the distance. Judging by the availability of accommodation so far we had better make it!!!
The quality of the road surface plus traffic and of course the roaming livestock dictated our speed and we neared our destination Pampa de los Guanacos quite late in the afternoon but the best or worst was yet to come .road works with a rough detour or desvio for around 20 kms. The volume of trucks using this road had reduced the detour to a rutted dust pit and we eyed the dark sky in the distance thinking this would be a hell hole if it rained. We bounced and ploughed our way through reaching the village wondering where the recommended Los Cedros Residencial could be situated. (No tourist office here). We flew past the first turn off into town but picked up the second so we had a slow ride around town before we stumbled across the Residencial on the first turn off road. 540 kms clicked over for the day as the sun disappeared quickly behind a dark cloud.
Our host was very helpful directing us to a comfortable room and indicating food was available. Parking the bike out the back of the building we locked and chained on the bike cover as the black clouds swirled around us. Half way through dinner the heavens opened up. The wind blew and rain came into the front area (windows) of the residencial where we were eating. The cable TV stopped broadcasting in the middle of a football (soccer) match much to the disgust of the locals, but the owner and staff were frantically mopping up and trying to stop more rain coming in to worry.
Sunset on the Rio Parana
Dinner with Gerardo, Patricia and some of their bike friends
A fresh, fine morning greeting us as we raced to Corrientes. Carol has been busy again contacting the Horizons Unlimited communities and we had the pleasure of meeting Gerardo and Patricia on our arrival to this river city. They escorted us to a budget hotel on the outskirts of town and it was then we noticed how hot the weather had become. We had definitely arrived in the tropical part of Argentina. Corrientes is dominated by the Rio Parana and is crossed by a huge bridge General Belgrano linking the two provinces of Chaco and Corrientes. Ships use this river ferrying cargo to Paraguay. The lifestyle of the people appears to be also dominated by the river with trees lining the banks, restaurants, sidewalk cafes and hundreds of people walking, running and cycling. A great place to people watch and take in the cool breeze drifting off the river. The constant flow of people along this esplanade does not diminish even when night falls. Gerardo and Patricio guided us to the citys tourist office to gather some tips on places to see then ventured down to the water front to soak in the atmosphere. Our first night we enjoyed dinner at a restaurant near the river with a few of Gerardos bike riding friends. The following day we were left to do our own thing as Gerardo has a business that is all consuming in summer. Ice making!!! We road the city sight seeing for most of the day then retired to our sidewalk café by the river trying to ease the summer heat with a cold drink. Gerardo and Patricia joined us a little later for dinner.

The following day we fitted in a service on the bike at Gerardos house and to complete the day enjoyed a great asado in the heat of the afternoon. It was time to head off the next day but before departure we experienced our inaugural corrupt police officers in Argentina. A few hundred metres from our hotel we were stopped by two policemen. This is not unusual in Argentina and is generally a very pleasant experience with a document check and a where are you from, what are you doing and where are you going scenario. This one however was a little different with the young officer accusing us of speeding. The speed for motos on this road was 40kph he advised and not the indicated 60kph shown on the sign just 100 metres away. Wow First time we had heard of this. Arguing the point was Carol, who had climbed off the bike and was now chatting with the more senior police officer who backed his partner and wrote on the cardboard at the back of his ticket book US$100!!!!! Carol became very indignant and promptly informed me of his request. A bit of a dilemma here but as we were about to meet up with Gerardo and Patricia to say our goodbyes, I decided to give them a call on the mobile and let them know we would be a little late and could he suggest a remedy for the situation. The solution came rather unexpectedly as no sooner as the phone was produced and dialing commenced our officer declared it would be OK for us to proceed. See you later sir!!!
Saying goodbye to Patricia and Gerardo
Before we departed Gerardo apologized for the errant police officers. The incident was not pleasant but we know it does happen and we will probably experience this in other countries before our journey ends. Many thanks for your help and hospitality, Gerardo and Patricia. Little did we realize then they were to help us again in the not too distant future.
Water buffalo like we have in Australia
Today our destination was Corinda, a town close to the Paraguayan border where we could obtain our Visas. Australians pay US$45 for a single entry visas to Paraguay. An expensive fee for the short time we will be there and advices from many sources say that there is a lot of corruption so beware!!! The road across the Chaco province was interesting with a lush green flatland with plenty of cattle. There were even water buffalo like the ones we have back in Aus. An overnight stay, plus a quick one hour wait the next morning to collect the Visa and we were on our way to Paraguay. This will be only our third country in South America in 14 months.

By OSU Extension Services
The recent rain has not dampened the spirits of researchers from Oklahoma State Universityﻗs Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources or their mission to promote prescribed burning in Oklahoma.
A new video, The Effects of Fire, VT-9999, was recently produced to highlight the benefits of prescribed burning and provide information for landowners with different land management objectives. Fire is nothing new to the state as throughout its history, the landscape had been burned by natural causes and American Indians, resulting in a diverse plant community.
ﻗWhen you start using prescribed fire on the landscape, youﻗll see that cattle and wildlife diets are much broader than you typically would imagine,ﻗ said Dwayne Elmore, OSU Cooperative Extension wildlife specialist. ﻗFire really changes what plants animals can consume and makes a lot more plants available to wildlife and cattle.ﻗ
Fire will burn off unwanted species from the land, remove plant litter from the surface and expose the soil to the sun. This will provide for warmer soil, which allows plants to grow back very rapidly. These new plants are a good source of food, higher in quality than the older plants they replaced.
ﻗA lot of times in the late summer, the nutritional content in many of the grasses is declining rapidly,ﻗ said John Weir, rangeland ecology and management research associate.
Increase in nutritional content equates to an increase in cattle gains for stocker cattle producers. Forage also is better for wildlife, not to mention how much more visually appealing the landscape is with the inclusion of prescribed burning in its management, in addition to the removal of Eastern redcedar.
ﻗThe video answers a lot of questions from Oklahoma land managers about prescribed burning,ﻗ Weir said. ﻗIt details the many different options and management techniques that can be used to get he most from the land, regardless of the management objectives.ﻗ
The video is available by contacting your local county Extension office, or NREM Extension personnel at http://nrem.okstate.edu.

|Duquesne hoops dealing with success after tragedy
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 12 November 2009 00:34
The Dukes were one of college basketball's worst teams only four years ago, going 3-24 during a 12th consecutive losing season. Then, almost impossibly, it got worse - much worse.
Five players were shot, two seriously injured, in September 2006 during the worst act of on-campus violence to affect a major college sports team - more than one-third of the players were injured.
Somehow, a program that was nearly ruined by years of neglect, then left scarred by the shootings, not only is being revived but is prospering.
In one of college basketball's more remarkable turnarounds, the Dukes went 21-13 last season, reached the Atlantic 10 Conference final and took Virginia Tech to double overtime on the Hokies' home court before losing 116-108 in the NIT.
ll not viewed as one of the A-10's powers - they're picked fifth in the preseason poll, behind traditional front-runners Dayton and Xavier.
Still, with four starters back from their first 20-win team since 1981, the Dukes suddenly find themselves dealing with ... success?
``And we have one of the youngest teams in the country,'' coach Ron Everhart said.
All but one of those four returning starters is a sophomore or a junior, led by 6-foot-7 junior forward Damian Saunders (13.1 points, 7.6 rebounds), a one-time Marquette recruit, and 6-3 sophomore Melquan Bolding (9.9 points), who committed to Louisville before landing at Duquesne.
Eric Evans, who scored 19 points in that NIT game, takes over for Aaron Jackson at point guard after averaging 9.8 points as a freshman. He'll be joined in the starting lineup by former walk-on Jason Duty, a senior who averaged 7.4 points, and 6-7 Bill Clark (12.9 points, 5.0 rebounds), the Dukes' most-improved player by season's end.
Jackson is the biggest loss. He finished off an exceptional senior season in which he averaged 19.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists by scoring 46 points against Virginia Tech in one of the best games by a visiting player in Hokies' history.
Jackson was the last of the players who had been shot to finish their careers at Duquesne, and he developed into a leader and playmaker who will be difficult to replace.
rt believes he may already have his replacement.
Sean Johnson, a 6-2 freshman who was the MVP of New York City's Catholic high school league, probably won't start when the season begins, but it may be difficult to keep him out of the lineup. An excellent defender and shooter who can play point guard and shooting guard, he may be the school's best recruit since Everhart was hired nearly four years ago.
Duquesne, so undersized last year that it had only one starter taller than 6-5, also may have found a needed rebounder in 7-foot sophomore Morakinyo Williams. The surprise star of Kentucky's preseason scrimmage two years ago, he played so little as a freshman that he decided to transfer.
Rodrigo Peggau, a 6-8 freshman who showed promise last season before badly injuring a knee, also looks to be healthy - and, if he is, he also will be a big help on the boards.
The Dukes appear to have more depth than before in 6-5 swingman B.J. Monteiro, a former Connecticut high school player of the year; 6-2 sophomore Chase Robinson and 6-6 freshman Andre Marhold.
While the Dukes got off to good starts the previous two seasons (12-4 in 2008-09; 11-3 in 2007-08), they might not have as good a record in January, yet might be a better team.
me with Pittsburgh, plus three games in three days in Cullowhee, N.C., later this month as part of the CBE Classic.
Duquesne hosts Nicholls State in the season opener on Friday night.
``It's going to be a big challenge to duplicate (the previous starts), but I think it's really going to help us in terms of the conference,'' Everhart said. ``I'll put our non-conference schedule up against anybody's.''
Now, the challenge for Duquesne after years of not being competitive is to raise itself to the level of the A-10's best teams.
For a program that's been starved for success for more than 30 years, that's a whole lot more fun than losing.

The Peruvian farmers cooperative Coopain Cabana recently made a very lucrative deal that benefits the members and the cooperative itself.
Their own brand of organic potatoes can now be found on the shelves of the supermarkets of Plaza Vea, one of the largest supermarket chains in Peru, repored Agriterra.
Thanks to this deal, the farmers associated to Coopain Cabana now receive a 25% higher price for their potatoes as compared to the local market.
The cooperative "Agroindustrial Cabana" works in the Cabana district, located in the Andes of Peru at 4000 meters above sea level. Coopain focuses on the collection, processing and marketing of organic quinoa (highly nutritious type of grain) and organic potatoes. The cooperative buys and stores large amounts of potatoes and sells them to the supermarkets.
Agriterra supports Coopain's marketing and promotional activities, for example by giving advice concerning business planning, market research and finance opportunities. The fact that Coopain Cabana is now able to sell its own brand to a supermarket chain like Plaza Vea, is considered a great success.
Up to now the organic potatoes can be bought only in the Plaza Vea stores in Arequipa, the second largest city of Peru. However, plans to also sell the potatoes in the Plaza Vea supermarkets of the cities Tacna and Ica are at an advanced stage.

|Related: Nathan Fillion, CASTLE
It was announced today that Frank Beddor is partnering with actor Nathan Fillion's charity Kids Need to Read for a new initiative. For every book sold by author Beddor at the upcoming Emerald City Comicon (May 1-3), and Phoenix Comicon (May 23-26), or ordered through his new Kickstarter campaign (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/149372651/hatter-m-zen-of-wonder), he will be donating one to the charity's book drive.
"We're happy to participate in this great charity," said Jim Demonakos, Convention Director of Emerald City Comicon. "We do numerous charitable events aimed at children at ECCC and this fits squarely in to our goals in their further education."
"Frank has been a fixture at Phoenix Comicon since its early years and has been at the intersection of realizing success and using that success to the benefit of others for even longer," says Matt Solberg, Convention Director of Phoenix Comicon. "Getting kids to read will be successful through these efforts."
"We are so pleased to have Frank contribute in this way," said Denise Gary, Executive Director for Kids Need to Read. "His books are extremely imaginative and so well-received by the children we serve. This book drive is a terrific gift to Kids Need to Read!"
"This was a no-brainer," said Beddor, author of the New York Times Best Selling young adult series the Looking Glass Wars. "Getting books into the hands of kids is something every author needs to take part in. And Kids Need to Read is one of the best ways to do that." Nathan Fillion, the charity's founder, and star of ABC hit series "Castle", expressed excitement about Beddor's involvement, but no surprise.
"Yes, I am excited. But, you're right, I wasn't surprised," said the actor. "I've known Frank for several years now. And he's a great guy. And a great supporter of our organization."
Beddor first learned of the charity through its co-founder the young adult novelist P.J. Haarsma. The two were partnering on the web game The Rings of Orbis(www.ringsoforbis.com), based on Haarsma's young adult series The Softwire, when Haarsma explained the organization to Beddor.
"It seemed so simple, so logical. I was surprised no one had done it before," said Beddor. "And I immediately told P.J. I'd do anything I could to help."
"Frank has been a vocal advocate of Kids Need to Read since he first learned of it," said Haarsma, echoing Beddor's claims. "But I'm hugely excited that he's made us a part of his upcoming Con appearance, book release, and Kickstarter campaign. We considered this both a big help and a great honor."
Kids Need to Read has a simple mission. They provide books to underfunded schools, libraries and literacy programs with a special emphasis on those organizations serving disadvantaged children. They achieve these aims through auctions, events, and donations from publishers, authors, private individuals and other organizations.
According to the organization's website, to date they "have provided over 42,000 books to 153 schools, libraries, and literacy programs in 41 states, as well as Washington, DC and Puerto Rico". And they've "also facilitated the donation of three thousand books to the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library".

Yuca, plantain, papaya, all the subtropical specialties you could want: Frutería Los Girasoles is a way for Miami residents to partake of Homestead's bounty of fresh produce without having to make the drive (or at least not the entire drive). Produce prices stand out, but shoppers can also choose from an array of citrus marinades, tamarind candy, chilies of all shapes and sizes -- dried and fresh -- or knickknacks like the sculpture of a sombrero-clad stereotype napping under a cactus. The store is still pretty far south on Krome Avenue, but the selection and prices are worth the effort (and besides, it's scenic). On a recent weekend plum tomatoes went for a dollar per pound, a dozen ears of corn cost three dollars, and patrons swamped the orange stand, bagging dozens at the six-for-a-buck price.

Program guides first responders on farm animal handling
Ohio Farm Bureau is teaming up with Ohio State University to help law enforcement, local humane officers, wildlife officers, firefighters, animal control officers and other first responders gain a basic understanding of farm animal behavior and handling so they can be better prepared for incidents involving livestock.
The Animal Agriculture 202 course was made possible by a grant from the Animals for Life Foundation. Participants can expect to learn about the following: Basic farm animal behavior and handling, personal safety issues, roadway accidents involving farm animals, field euthanasia methods, tranquilization of at-large animals and pre-planning for a livestock incident.
The daylong seminar will be held April 12 at the Fawcett Center in Columbus. The $25 registration fee includes lunch. Space is limited and the registration deadline is March 30.
Register for the Animal Agriculture 202 course online.

Your family's genetic make-up may explain why your brain is sharp or dull, so says researchers.
Alex Fornito from the University Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre said the findings have a bearing on why some people are better at certain tasks than others and also the genetic basis of mental illnesses.
"The brain is an extraordinarily complex network of billions of nerve cells interconnected by trillions of fibres," Fornito was quoted as saying by The Journal of Neuroscience.
"The brain tries to maximise its bang-for-buck by striking a balance between making more connections to promote efficient communication and minimising the 'cost' or amount of wiring required to make these connections," he said, according to a Melbourne statement.
"Our findings indicate that this balance, called 'cost-efficiency', has a strong genetic basis.
"Ultimately, this research may help us uncover, which specific genes are important in explaining differences in cognitive abilities, risk for mental illness and neurological diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease," said Fornito.
The research team, which included scientists from the Universities of Queensland and Cambridge in Britain, compared the brain scans of 38 identical and 26 non-identical twins from the Australian Twin Registry.

Your counsel. :) I used to post here, and I have a friend (no really) ;) who is contemplating entering a poly relationship. Several years ago, I was in a relationship with someone who claimed to be polyamorous; though, in retrospect, I do not believe he actually was. Anyway, I never thought the subject would be broached in my lifetime again, but I've read your posts, and based on those, I respect your views. I would like to have your input (because I am truly jaded from that previous relationship). Please e-mail me at email@example.com, if you would?

Former Otter Magnusson quoted in MN Hockey Journal [UPDATED]Published 10:37am Friday, December 14, 2012 Updated 10:37am Friday, December 14, 2012
Former Fergus Falls Otter girls hockey player and current Mankato State University Mavericks defenseman, Erika Magnusson, was quoted in the Minnesota Hockey Journal.
The former Otters was quoted in the article 'Big Time, Little Town', in response to small community hockey programs producing big time talent.
Magnusson was quoted in saying "In a small town, you can just be yourself and know that your entire community is behind you. Especially in a smaller community, you really make a lot of good friends and meet a lot of great families. I have been very fortunate to have the coaches and friends I have had along the way."

Jump in Meth Lab Busts Across Ohio
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Authorities in Ohio are reporting a big jump in the number of methamphetamine labs seized this year.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reports that state records show the number of seized meth labs jumped 467 percent this year compared with five years ago.
Agents and police found 607 labs in Ohio last year and 635 labs as of June 24 this year.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says authorities are seeing a continuous spike in the brew that can now be mixed in pop bottles.
State officials attribute much of the increase to the cheap cost and ease of making the drug.
Police reported finding 112 meth labs in 2008, although that number more than tripled to 348 the next year.

Age of Chivalry: Hegemony v1.97 betaJan 20, 2014 Full Version 19 comments
This release adds five brand new countries to Age of Chivalry: Hegemony. Florence, Milan, Venice, Liège and Brandenburg are each unique new additions...
Concentrating on the late medieval period, Age of Chivalry: Hegemony replaces or significantly alters each of the civilizations in the original game, while also adding a number of new ones, allowing the player to control Central and Western European states. Many new units and technologies have been added and gameplay dynamics have been changed considerably in this complete overhaul of Age of Empires II.
Play as Austria, Bavaria, Bohemia, Brandenburg, Brittany, Burgundy, Denmark, England, Flanders, Florence, France, Friesland, Genoa, Guelders, Helvetia, Liège, Milan, Poland, Savoy, Saxony, Scotland, Venice, or Wales. Fight against your friends or the AI through random maps or on newly crafted real world maps of Central Europe, Western Europe, Northern Italy or the Low Countries, or play through the unique historical eight-scenario campaign. Explore a whole new medieval period in Age of Chivalry: Hegemony!
28 comments by Happertesch on Jan 20th, 2014
After a considerable time in production, the long ago promised new version of Age of Chivalry: Hegemony has finally arrived! It adds five new countries - Florence, Milan, Venice, Liège, and Brandenburg - each with unique features and distinctive character.
Command Italian Condottieri and Liègeois Haidroits, Brandenburger Junkers or Venetian Stradiots. Construct magnificent monuments, such as the church of St Mark of Venice, the Duomo of Florence or the St Lambert cathedral of Liège.
Take a stand when advancing your country through the centuries: as Milan, will you favour the Lombard League or the rise of the Visconti Signoria? As Venice, will you look to the sea or the land? As Liège, will you side with the rebellious citizenry or the ruling bishops? Or read about each country in the history section.
The eighteen original countries have not been neglected, either. Many units have new graphics and many more building graphics have been added while some old graphics have been improved. Some countries have been rebalanced after much testing and a new AI is now included which poses much more of a challenge than the old AI ever did. Furthermore, many new objects have been included for scenario designers to use.
You can download the new version HERE!
This is a beta version. All suggestions are welcome to further improve Age of Chivalry!
This release adds five brand new countries to Age of Chivalry: Hegemony. Florence, Milan, Venice, Liège and Brandenburg are each unique new additions...
Maybe its just me, but my game crashes whenever I use the scenario editor, more specifically when I try to test or play the map I made.
Oh, I am afraid I didn't keep a list so I must work from memory here (I don't speak Polish or Czech so I can't translate all of them). Where possible I used authentic battle cries mentioned in historical sources, but I believe the Polish just use generic cries. The Bohemians have a mix of generic cries for their normal units and special cries for the Hussites, who also shout 'God is our lord!' and 'For brother John' when attacking.
It's quite similar with the Dutch civs, except that all their battle cries come from historical sources. They vary between 'general' battle cries that could be said by anyone and country-specific cries. Frisians can cry 'Leaver dea as slaef', which means 'Better a dead man than a slave', a battle cry used against the Dutch and other invaders. Soldiers from Guelders shout 'Gelre, Gelre!' which was their battle cry, the name of the country but also according to legend the cry made by a dragon that was killed by the first counts of Guelders. The Flemish have two unique cries, 'Vlaanderen ende leeu', which translates to 'Flanders and the lion' (the lion is the heraldic animal representing Flanders). They can also shout 'Schilt ende vriend', which was a kind of shibboleth used (according to legend) to identify who was Flemish and who was French.
The generic ones are less interesting, for example a shout of 'slaet al doot', 'kill them all'.
sort it out already. next issue from me. while playing multi, game 'reads' only my external ip, instead of lan/vpn ( try it with evovle vpn, hamachi and comodo unite. ) try it with lan mode/ and tcp for direct play.
is this is 'bug to never be solved' or i'm doing something wrong ?
cheers ;)
one thing only. game start in window mode and there is no way to make it work in full screen. any ideas ?
Start playing a random map or scenario and it will jump to full screen automatically.
Hey, Happerstech, i was thinking about the posibility of include the Holy Roman Empire, as a semi faction, like you did with the Teutonic Order to Brandenburg. Maybe with a civ like Bavaria, or Bohemia (and why not with Milan). In the 13th century you can have the choice to follow the path of Frederick and unite germany and conquer north italy, or continue as a independent faction, like Brandenburg. I think it's a good idea! And a suggestion of a great fan!
The Holy Roman Empire is already included - quite a few of the countries in the mod were member states long before 1200. So this is not a policy decision (like the Teutonic Order) because it was already a long-standing fact.
But when you play a couple of countries - Austria, Bavaria, and Bohemia - you can even choose to become emperor! This is what the 'Romzug' policy decision entails. The Romzug was the journey by an elected emperor to Rome, where he would then be crowned by the Pope (if all went well), which would officially make him emperor (until that moment they were just King of the Romans). Researching Romzug will allow the recruitment of the Reichsritter, or Imperial Knight, a heavy cavalry lancer and bodyguard of the emperor.
I understand your point and that you want to have a great historical accurate mod. And that's very good! I wanted a more ''total war'' Holy Roman Empire, if you can understand me, a faction totaly independent. But now that you have explain me the role of the Holy Empire in this mod, and how relate it with the german states, i'm satisfied! haha Cheers

Every generation has the stereotypical stoner movie crew. In the '90s, it was the Kevin Smith "Jay and Silent Bob" franchise or the cult classic "Dazed and Confused."

Athens-Clarke police are investigating the robbery, kidnapping and false imprisonment of an Athens man, according to a police report.
Police responded Saturday morning to a location on Baxter Street, where they found a 42-year-old man who said he was robbed and assaulted by three males.
The man told police that he was smoking crack and using cocaine Friday night with another man he didn't know. According to police, the other man called someone to bring them more crack-cocaine and brought the victim $400 worth of the drug and said he would collect Saturday morning.
Perhaps one bad thing about being outside during the summer is that most people end up getting sunburns.
Not only can sunburns affect your appearance, it can also lead to more serious health conditions such as cancer.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation (www.skincancer.org), more than 90 percent of the visible changes commonly attributed to skin aging are caused by the sun.
The Skin Cancer Foundation also says that a person's risk for melanoma doubles if he or she has had more than five sunburns at any age.
The CVS Pharmacy in the Beechwood Shopping Center on Alps Road was robbed by a man with a knife Wednesday night, according to the Athens-Clarke police.
The man, who police describe as a tall white male, between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, was wearing a camouflage hoodie and jeans. According to police, the man also weighs between 140 and 160 pounds, in his 20s and possibly has some type of facial hair on his chin.
After rain washed out the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series last weekend, the action comes back to Atlanta Dragway in Commerce Friday and Saturday.
Qualifying will continue for the seventh round this season on Friday with two sessions at 2 and 4 p.m. Track action will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday with pre-race opening ceremonies and eliminations will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday.
Last Friday, eight Pro Stock cars were able to qualify before consistent showers stopped track action.
Three of the four Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary School fifth-graders knocked down by a riptide while on a field trip to Tybee Island Wednesday were released from the hospital Thursday, with the fourth expected to be released today, according to Clarke County School District spokeswoman Anisa Sullivan Jimenez.
A riptide, or rip current, is a strong channel of water that can form in the surf, posing a threat to swimmers.
Four Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary students and a teacher were hospitalized Wednesday due to injuries they suffered from being knocked down by a riptide on Tybee Island.
According to Clarke County School District spokeswoman Anisa Sullivan Jimenez, a group of fifth-grade students went to Tybee Island for a field trip and while playing in the ocean, a riptide knocked them over.

Athens-Clarke police arrested a woman that they had been searching for since Friday for attempting to snatch a purse at the Kroger grocery store on Alps Road.
Dana G. Mallory, 46, of Baxter Drive was arrested Sunday afternoon and charged with robbery.
According to police, they received help from other officers and by using social media, Nixle text alerts and photos being published in the Banner-Herald.
Tiaras, crowns, sparkly dresses and personalities were all the rage Sunday at the Ms. Senior Athens 2013 celebration, where Fay Davis walked away with the crown.
The signature fundraising event for the Athens Community Council on Aging (ACCA) was able to raise an estimated $22,500 in its annual celebration for women living and aging well.
More than 60,000 country fans came together Saturday night to take a ride on the "Night Train" tour with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan.
Fans began tailgating early in the day, and even Aldean himself surprised some by joining in for a bit. But it wasn't just Athens fans who came out for the historic show.
Brandon Lee came from Jackson to see Aldean and had never seen any of the artists who took the stage before.
Elizabeth Edwards, a University of Georgia student from Augusta, came mostly to see Aldean and was excited.

Hello I hope that everyone had a great New Year's Eve. I myself was asleep before midnight and for me I think that was a good thing. Waiting on time is a hard thing to do. I hope this new year brings joy and happiness to all.
