Pam: I am involved in both grain and beef operations. I have put much thought into the issue of GMOs, and I must say, that I remain skeptical of their future. I have seen many food developments over the years and have always been skeptical of so-called "scientific foods." I have successfully predicted the mediocre acceptance, or actual demise, of so many scientific foods over the years. As a young college student, I took an early stand against cyclamates. They are now gone. I have been skeptical of aspartame, and that sweetener has stagnated if not bombed in the marketplace. When the much-touted Olestra came out, I predicted it would be a huge market failure...and it is. Most recently, I predicted the demise of rBGH, and most of the dairy suppliers in my area have abandoned the hormone supplement. Pam, I see the same fate for GMOs. Most of my partner farmers do not use GMOs...and my farmers are outstanding, well-informed, and highly educated professionals. I predict by the end of the decade, GMOs will be on the way out of our food supplies. When consumers become informed, the will vote with their dollars and avoid GMO foods.

I agree whole heartedly with you Pam - farmers need to educate themselves so they can help educate the public. Several are already doing this with on- line social networks. I've prided myself in knowing a lot about GMOs but just learned this past week that Bt only works on alkaline guts, not the acid guts of mammals and humans. With the folly of vaccine paranoia, we now have an open door to doubt the anti-science community. Add to that the governments change of position on cholesterol and acceptance of eggs as a dietary benefit. Most consumers don't want/don't understand scientific lingo. We have to approach the GMO concern from another angle. The fact that millions of wildlife and livestock flourish on GMOs gives pause to consider. National Geographic has accepted GMOs as a necessity to deal with endless pests and pesticides. Nat Geo believes GMOs will help feed mega-billions of people in the future. Then there's the anti-corp crowd that can be silenced with the the Golden Rice story. Golden Rice was developed with a beta-carotene gene from corn by non-corporate interests. Radical anti-science groups destroyed and propagandized against Golden Rice even though it would have prevented blindness in millions of children. I ask anti-GMO people if they want to be a part of that?! Then there's the fact that over 1,000 plant and genetic scientists have given GMOs a clean bill of health. Ask the anti-GMO person if they believe 1,000 scientists claiming man-made global warming. The list of support goes on and on, but the challenge is to deal with people who are susceptable to paranoia in the first place.

BTW Tom, don't I recall that you were switching over to padding your pockets with organic produce dollars? People like to point at corporations benefiting from GMO dollars but ignore that the organic industry is 62 billion dollars strong. Kudos to those of you who figured out how to sell yourselves as holy-than-thou but at the same time make it difficult for the 46+ million people who already need food aid to afford what you grow!!
Posted by Curt Zingula at 7:40AM CST 02/13/15
Curt: I am not certified organic and don't intend to be such. However, my partner farmers and I attempt to avoid the GMOs. A lot of my thinking has developed over the years as I have learned to listen to the wisdom of my Amish farmer friends. I may be proven wrong, and I do recognize that food volumes must increase, but I am not convinced GMOs are the way to go. Ultimately it will be consumers who make these decisions, just as they have with rBGH...which they obviously don't like.
Posted by tom vogel at 7:57AM CST 02/13/15
Boy o boy, Tom. Wisdom from those who do not accept many modern practices, but hide behind the barn to talk on their cell-phone. I thought I had heard all.
Posted by Bonnie Dukowitz at 7:48PM CST 02/13/15
It gets better Bonnie, The Atlantic published an article (against GMOs) that an Amish boy discovered that good soil fertility leads to good plant health and that in turn reduces/eliminates the need for genetic engineering. Kudos to the Atlantic for realizing that the public is stupid about agronomy and scare tactics work.
Posted by Curt Zingula at 7:01AM CST 02/14/15
The Atlantic article appeared on Facebook. I responded to it with some common sense and a friend of the person who posted it responded back with a graph showing that increased Roundup use matches the linear uptrend with the increase of world wide disease. I'm not real good at cut and paste or I would have attached the graph showing how well the increase in organic sales matches with autism!!
Posted by Curt Zingula at 7:12AM CST 02/14/15
I think that in regard to GMO food, Americans are taking a page from the European anti-GMO playbook (or the whole playbook for that matter). What most advocates of "safe science" and GE traits in food plants and animals is that they ignore the science that exists alongside the GMO- antiGMO debate. The science of psychology. While psychology uses statical methods itself, the irony is that the fear and skepticsim in the human brain and mind doesn't use the "second standard deviation." Put together with the trend that more and more consumers are perceiving that they are always "being sold something" and more general mistrust (the government records our phone calls) it should not be hard to see that advertising and "education" are becoming a tough sell.
Posted by Lonnie Leake at 1:51PM CST 02/14/15
I think what is really missing is balance. Why is it that one is right and the other wrong. Usually when I see comments about GMO's all I see is bickering. Its to bad. I'm pretty sure not every new biotech food is safe. And I'm pretty sure the GMO's are not going anywhere they are here to stay. Intention is every thing. If we make food to help people in third world countries be able to access nutrients that's good intentions I think. If we make GMO's so we can spray carcinogens on them so we can control weeds and insects. Poison is poison I don't care what anyone says. I am a farmer and some times I burn off in the spring with round up, then herbicide, fungicide and desiccate with round up again. That's lots of carcinogens on one crop. So I hope the consumer educates them selves and starts to pay attention to what how and why the crop is being modified. Because intention is everything in my opinion.

All this is food for thought. Thank's Pam and Commenters
Posted by Raymond Haas at 11:13AM CST 02/19/15
Some of the issues get cloudy, such as genetic engineering of traits native to the plant, such as it appears is the case with potatoes versus transgenetics using non-native genetics. The disconnect that I see is that many people opposed to GMO are passionate advocates for the science behind anthropogenic global warming. But then farmers want to appeal to science to defend GMOs yet reject the science for global warming! :). Me, I'm skeptical of the science claims for both!
Posted by LeeFarms at 12:09PM CST 02/19/15
I'm enjoying this dialogue--keep it coming. We now have apples to throw into the GE discussion. I had a fascinating discussion with the Arctic apple folks this week. Stay tuned.
Posted by Pamela Smith at 7:58AM CST 02/20/15
"You are what you eat!" is the old saying. I personally choose to avoid any genetically modified foods and crops. Everything was created perfect and we have destroyed it. I don't know if GE crops have caused the increase in cancer but I can guarantee that there will never be a cure! There is too much money made off of it. As for GE crops, they won't go away either until there is proof they are harmful. Two decades or 20 years is not long enough to prove safety. It will take generations! I am glad that there are two sides to all this debating. Someday one side will find out which side failed, They will be the ones still living! Monsanto and the others own the ag communities and the farmers HAVE to do what they say to plant their crops. But really its all about money. My advise is do your own homework, form your own opinion, and keep an open mind. This is part of the free world. I'm glad that not all people think like I do. However, while some farmers are getting $3.50 for a bushel of corn there are others receiving $11.00 a bushel for corn. One last comment to fuel your fire!! Why are we trying to feed the world cheep food? It should be that we are trying to provide the healthiest food at a reasonable price, and if we are trying to feed the world, then why do we care about ethanol? It appears to me that we are trying to starve the world so we can put their food in our gas tanks.

I'm not particularly in love with Monsanto but this Monsanto hate thing has gone too far! While my wife and I were biking in Colorado this summer, a retired couple and their son stopped to rest and talk with us. Upon learning that we farmed the son immediately asked if we did business with Monsanto. When my wife replied "yes" the guy groaned, shook his head in disgust and rode off. I guess its gotten to the point we farmers have to hide what we do for a living.
Posted by Curt Zingula at 8:17AM CST 12/05/14
Curt--I've had the same experience in all kinds of scenarios. Yet, when I ask the same individuals about other companies that participate in genetic engineering, for example, they seem shocked. Why is it so easy to be negative and against? Thanks for the feedback.

Part of their image problem stems from the fact that the Big M wants to own so much of the future profits of anyone connected to them.
Posted by Vince Moye at 6:43AM CST 12/10/14
Guess what Monsanto no matter what lies you try to portray to the consumer will only expose how power hungry and money hungry your corporation really is. Why don't you explain the enormous amount of tech fees that are l involved with your products that are paid for by the producer and the consumer. Also your involvement in destroying rain forests all over the world for more "safe food production" is out of control, will there ever be enough? So setting up shops in South America, Russia, Ukraine etc. will only result in overproduction and cheap commodity prices for the producers with the USDA on top of markets with "REPORTS" that only benefit corporations and not consumers. Be honest for a change the lies are getting old.

Any idea what the actual loss per bu. per year would be to corn growers in the Syngenta law suit? I think we all got shot in the foot over that issue! Plus it just gave the Chinese cheaper corn! They are shrewd!

Pam. I interseeded a pasture mix[ mostly red clover] into a two acre patch of grass on the heritage farmstead where I recently relocated. We let this grow without mowing. We had a huge array of pollinators and other beneficial insects. It was a joy to watch the transformation from this over groomed patch of grass which I have now seen depreciate a couple of generations of expensive lawn mowers into a small sea of multi-species activity. It is amazing how quickly this transformation occurred. Amazing also was the reaction of my farming peers. Every comment from" surely you are going to bale that" to "I'll bet your father is disappointed with the way you are caring for that". Luckily the latter statement was nowhere near the truth. After many years of mowing he for sure gets my approach. There are many areas that could be reverted to flowering species very quickly with absolutely no harm to the land or the cash crops growing there. It is just a matter of cosmetics. The only way this will happen is if there is a clear financial incentive to do so. The comment heard often is "if you are going to pay $1x,000 dollars for this ground you want someone to mow around it. Many producers spend many dollars to appease this attitude. The responsibility lies with those who own the land.

"It was a joy to watch the transformationâ?¦." What a wonderful image that is. Thanks for your comment, for reading and for taking a step to do something remarkable.

A lot of good points, Pamela. Not only some farmers are arrogant though. Included should be the general public, especially shore land owners and occupants. Some cities are so blasted with chemicals, one has difficulty breathing. It is amazing, Unknown, what nature can do if helped out a bit.

2 dollar corn u need leave it in the field its not worth it

Who is he kidding? Rent-$300.00 Potash-$45.00 Seed-$100 Starter$45.00 Herbicides-$35.00 Nitrogen-$60.00 thats $585.00 an acre with no fuel or equipment cost not to mention interest and deprecation.If he's only 40 he hasn't farmed in hard times yet. But he will soon.So corn at $2.90 minus .40 cents drying .08 trucking leaves 2.42 corn x 250 =$605.00 minus $585 leaves him $20.00 an acre to pay for equipment and feed his family.Plant More Corn!!!

There's no question that we saw production problems in several regions of Nebraska, western Iowa and Minnesota while crop touring in August. However, the regional problems we saw there don't erase the fact that there are many pockets of outstanding crops this year.

Mark No one is whinning just reality!You still didn't answer the question.Show me some figures.I showed the numbers it takes to produce a crop.If he didn't save any money that's not good, this is not going to be a one year thing. You say more than likely so you don't know for sure.We farmers are our own enemies,we don't like to admitt that we are not making money.
Posted by Raymond Simpkins at 7:49AM CDT 09/30/14
thank you Ray, the truth is we are all screwed, should have PP'ed the whole crop this year cause with these prices we can't afford to do that either next year. There is no way crop insurance will be worth crap in 15'
Posted by JAMIE KOUBA at 12:59AM CDT 10/06/14
Raymond I work with quite a few producers managing risk...I farm full time and broker full time. Every guy I work with made good money this year, but we did have our crops hedged well in advance of harvest. I agree many guys are struggling, especially if they didn't manage their price risk, but just because the harvest lows were setting in when you were posting doesn't mean people didn't make money this year. It's going to be tough to make money in the next few years, but it will definitely force guys to become much better businessmen.

I dont remember such coverage when crops look poor over use of word s record, monster, bin buster gets old when heard at some point every year gets less believable as time goes on.
Posted by andrew mohlman at 3:32PM CDT 08/29/14
No bin buster yields in our part of southern Mi. and northern Ohio.Corn is burnt up and beans are short.We have beans that are dropping leaves and will probably run in two to three weeks.I was in them last night and there is alot of 3 and 4 bean pods with 1 or 2 beans in them. So pod count may not mean much.We have only had 1.3 in of rain since the 25th of June. Even corn that has been irrigated every day since June figures in the 180s by pro farmers equation.Funny how crop tour followed the same path across corn belt as the rains did. The guys in ILL. that paid 15000 an acre for land better hope for more than 250 bu. corn.

Yes, SDS is starting to show up Michael and also white mold in areas experiencing heavy rainfall. Both could certainly take a toll on yield and soybean quality. The rain we're experiencing is definitely a concern to bringing this crop--regardless of whether it is big or not.

I am typing this post on a new computer (new to me). It's a Dell Pentium IV with Windows Pro XP and 256 MB of RAM.
The tenant who owned it got a job in Toronto, and the moving company he hired to move his stuff to Toronto charges by both volume and weight. To minimize his moving costs, he left a whole bunch of stuff behind. So I've inherited this computer, a pair of cheap metal shelf stands that my sister wants, a ghetto blaster, a Magnavox TV set, a computer desk, mouse and keyboard, a set of golf clubs, an exercise machine, a portable dish washer, a half ton of 1.44 MB floppy disks, two end tables and a coffee table, a coffee maker and a whole bunch of other stuff. He was a computer programmer and he musta left behind about 300 computer books, and those have been disappearing fairly quickly from around my dumpster. I'll leave them out there until they stop disappearing, and I'll take the rest to the recycle depot.
I've heard of garage sales and yard sales. I think I'm going to hold an apartment sale because most of this stuff I don't need either.
He did clean up before he left so I'll mail him his damage deposit. I'll sell what I can, and just leave the rest beside my dumpster for anyone to claim.
I've had tenants leave behind almost anything you can imagine... a hand made table, an old film movie camera, projector and screen (which were obsolete cuz no one uses photographic movie film anymore), a pair of crutches, and I even had a tenant leave behind an old car (that still started and ran well). I gave that to the Canadian Diabetes Foundation and got a tax receipt for $200 for it.
Nestor - You may need more ram and adding memory is cheap and worth it.
I understand the problem of ex-tenants leaving things. I bought a townhouse (2 story quad) from a slum lord that had bad renters and lived across the driveway. She just called the police for problems and they had had to bust in the doors during a "bust" or two.
After that, she put it on the market and we bought the unit. After fixing the banged up steel door and installing new locks, everything was reasonable. We found lots of stuff to toss and got it civilized it has been fine.
While doing more work, I removed smoke detector to get access for fishing some stereo wiring. I found a couple of plastic bags behind the detector with white powder. I did not want to create problems and complications, so I flushed them. I always wonder what was in the bags.
Since then, the only problems are the deer eating my plants and a family of racoons. I know I will get a bear or two this fall before hibernation for the winter, but that is free entertainment
You're probably right.
I now have two Pentium IV's.
The old one I was using for my business is 1.9 GHz and 512 MB of RAM. I don't access the internet on that computer cuz I don't want to get a virus on it that might cause an interruption in my business.
The one I inherited is 1.6 GHz and 256 MB of Ram. Maybe I can buy some old RAM somewhere.
On my old Pentium IV, I had two 256 MB memory cards. If I have two 128 MB memory cards on my new P4, can I add a 256 memory card, or is it better to keep them all in the same denomination, that is, install another two 128 MB memory cards.
I'm computer illiterate.
Congrats Nestor! That's an awesome find. Are those clubs for a lefty by chance? I could use a set.
I've seen where tenants have literally seemed to just plain disappear and leave EVERYTHING behind all the way down to the toothbrush still being in the holder in the bathroom.
Wow, like they were never going to need it again? Crazy.
You're generous to give back all the rental deposit. To me the house should be delivered in habitable shape with the exception of minor cleaning (like dusting trim or small paint touch ups). That means all stuff out! I charge for the removal of left behind items. I don't need the hassle of disposing someone's discards and my incoming tenants deserve a pristine home.
That being said, my own discards and some of the nicer ones I have had left by tenants in the past I've put up on Freecycle.org and just watch it disappear. I've posted stupid stuff that I can't imagine someone wanting to drive to pick up (one odd sized lampshade) to pieces of furniture and kids stuff.
It's great for DIY stuff too. Any left over materials or things I'm replacing go on Freecycle or Craigslist.org. Half a can of paint. One open box of flooring. Stuff I know would just sit in the basement unused. I got rid of a whole picket fence we replaced from our back yard. Even though half was rotting, someone paid us $100 and took all the panels saving us at least that much in hassle and disposal fees.
I found on craigslist trying to give stuff away for free usually leaves you stuck waiting for a bunch of no-shows. Charge anything and they'll be fighting each other for it. Freecyclers seem very concientious about being serious in their inquiry and prompt with pick-ups in my experience.
I don't remember if the golf clubs were L or R handed. They ended up going to my nephew's girlfriend's brother, so they're not around any more. The cost of transporting them to Texas would probably be a significant chunk of what a new set would cost, I'd imagine.
I agree that if a tenant leaves behind JUNK, then I'm no happier dealing with it than any other landlord, and I would have charged for my labour to remove stuff like that. However, the tenant did clean the place up and removed all of what I'd consider "worthless stuff" that no one else would really want. He just left behind stuff that he didn't need or want ENOUGH to pay the cost of having them trucked to Toronto.
I suppose I could have sold some of that stuff, but that's one more project I don't need. I'm happy just to get the thanks of friends and family that wanted the things they took. None of it was actually valuable. He had a much newer and faster computer, and left behind his old one, which wasn't much older than my new one!
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
I would think so, but finding lefties already made, versus having them put together, is a pretty significant chunk unto itself.
Try to sell them on eBay. For those things that you think nobody uses anymore (like the old film camera), you might want to try posting them as collectibles. They may rake in more money than you realize. I've read a recent news about an old Nintendo getting sold for $25,000 to a collector. You'll never know right?

In 2006, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, committed its support for the exploration of advanced technologies to prevent drunk driving.
Today, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility reaffirmed its longstanding position of support for this project and for The Roads Safe Act, sponsored by Senators Tom Udall (D-NM) and Bob Corker (R-TN).
Recent media reports suggest the technology likely would be set at 0.03 or 0.04 percent BAC and the devices are not 100 percent accurate.
We note that Senator Udall has firmly stated his intent of the legislation, "Clearly, such advanced technologies must win widespread public acceptance in order to be effective. They must be moderately priced, absolutely reliable and unobtrusive to sober drivers. They should be set at a level that would not prevent a driver whose BAC is less than the legal limit – which state law sets at .08 BAC for most drivers – from operating a vehicle. The aim is to stop drunk driving – not discourage responsible social drinking."
We congratulate Senator Udall and Senator Corker on the inclusion of this legislation within S. 1813 (the Senate Transportation Reauthorization bill) which passed the Senate last week. This legislation has broad support from AAA, Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Trucking Associations, Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), Governors' Highway Safety Association (GHSA), Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA), National Safety Council (NSC), Wine and Spirits Wholesalers Association (WSWA), and many other transportation groups.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility was founded in 1991 and is an independent, national not-for-profit organization dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking. We are funded by America's leading distillers including Bacardi U.S.A, Inc.; Beam, Inc.; Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Hood River Distillers, Inc.; and Pernod Ricard USA. To-date we have hosted more than 2000 community events to launch our programs across the nation bringing them to millions of parents, youth, educators, law enforcement officials, judges, prosecutors and traffic safety professionals.

Native Americans protest to demand rights in Canada
In Canada, Native Americans protest about living conditions. NGOs denounce extremely harsh prison sentences received by Vietnamese bloggers. And two young Americans recreate the 'Toy Story' cartoon with real toys.
Native Americans protest to demand rights in Canada
For more than one month Theresa Spence has been consuming only fish broth and tea. Living in a camp set up close to the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, this Native American chief has been on hunger strike to protest about her community's living conditions. She has become the emblem of the Canadian indigenous peoples' protest movement, brought together under the 'Idle No More' organisation.
The anger was caused by a law bill, which is set to considerably limit entitlement to ancestral lands. An inacceptable initiative for these communities, which have already been greatly affected by problems concerning housing and unemployment. Weary of being regarded as second-class citizens, the indigenous activists have therefore decided to cause a revolt.
And thanks to social networks, their message has spread around the country like wild fire. Whether to create a road block or to sing and dance in this shopping mall last Sunday in Edmonton, Canada-wide protests are regularly organised via the internet to defend indigenous people's rights.
A movement also supported by other inhabitants of the country. On Twitter, net users make fun of Prime Minister Stephen Harper imagining him dressed as a Native American leader. A way of poking fun at the government's attitude during this crisis.
Vietnam: harsh prison sentences for "dissident" bloggers
Sentences ranging from three to fifteen years in prison: this is the very heavy verdict imposed last week by the Vietnamese courts on fourteen bloggers and human rights defenders. Their crime was to have participated in a seminar organised in Thailand by the outlawed 'Viêt Tân' opposition party, with the aim of ousting the governing communist regime, according to local authorities. A disproportionate decision in the eyes of numerous NGOs, who have decided to speak up online to defend those convicted.
This is the case in particular for CPJ, the journalist protection committee which published a text on its site denouncing the severity of the verdict. A decision which, according to the organisation, illustrates the desire of the Vietnamese authorities to muzzle the opposition and dissident bloggers by all possible means.
A point of view shared by Amnesty International, who also asserts that all charges against the militants are simply unfounded and that they were only convicted for having expressed their opinion. Reasons which the NGO feel should encourage authorities to free the dissidents as soon as possible.
A request also made by Human Rights Watch in a press release posted online. A text in which the organisation also states that instead of imprisoning them, Vietnam should honour the activists. In fact, as far as the NGO is concerned, the convicted bloggers tackle issues affecting Vietnamese society, whereas the authorities are happy to simply ignore them.
Now trending on social networks
#PDFtribute, by typing in these key words in recent days, researchers around the world have published their work free of charge on social networks. The aim being to pay a final homage to Aaron Swartz, who committed suicide last Friday at the aged of twenty six. The computer specialist, who fought for free circulation of information, was subject to legal proceedings for gathering together millions of scientific articles on the JSTOR site. Fee-based articles which the young cyber activist hoped to make available to net users free of charge.
Edward Hopper's paintings restaged as photos
Dutch artist, Laetitia Molenaar set herself an original challenge when she decided to recreate some of Edward Hopper's works in photo format. Images displayed on the photographer's site in a collection named, 'Here comes the Sun' and which could be mistaken for works by the American painter.
Video of the day
Two and half years were necessary for budding young film makers, Jonason Pauley and Jesse Perrottato to remake a shot by shot version of the Pixar studios cartoon animation Toy Story with real toys. A huge job, offering a frankly impressive result and which net users are invited to view on share sites.

CardMon Hero
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
CardMon Hero Overview
CardMon Hero, previously known as Camon Hero, is a fantasy themed game that mixes an interesting card system to the standard hack-and-slash MMORPG gameplay. Players will be able to command their primary avatar along with various mercenaries summoned via magical cards. The game has a large world to explore, and a card combination system that allows players to craft new cards by gathering various ingredients. Cast spells, explore dungeons, and take on other players in CardMon Hero!
Weapon Types - One-Handed Staff, Orb, Bow, One-Handed Sword, Double-Handed Sword, Two-Handed Sword, Two-Handed Staff

CardMon Hero Review
By, Jaime Skelton
Pet systems have been popular in MMOs, particularly free-to-play MMORPGs, for a long time. They let players fight alongside a faithful companion that they can control, and that will never ditch them in the middle of a battle or fight over loot. CardMon Hero – a game initially to be published by Uforia as Camon Hero, and now being published globally by Redbana/T3Fun as CardMon Hero – appeals to that sense of having constant companions with a unique summoning system, utilizing cards for both summoning a friend to join you in combat and in managing skills. This unique take on a classic MMORPG combat system has its quirks, making it stand out from similar MMOs like Soul Master.
The Summoner
There are three essential elements to CardMon Hero's combat system: the summoner (your actual character), skill cards, and summoned mercenaries. To start with, every player must first create their summoner. Character creation is moderate in selection, offering about four hair styles, six clothing styles, and a few faces that can be mixed and matched together.
Since there are no classes at all, players can instead select the weapon they'd like to start with. Summoners can use anything from magical weapons like staves and orbs, to physical weapons from swords to bows. If your initial selection doesn't fit you, you can change your mind, but be aware that each weapon and skill type (physical or magic) requires certain stats, allocated when the player levels up. Some flexibility can be used to switch between physical weapons or magical weapons as the situation dictates, which means that if you're the kind of person who prefers fighting up close and personal, but sometimes like to take a back seat at range, you can adjust your stats and skills to do just that.
The Skills
Once you begin playing, you'll start to acquire skill cards. Skill cards can be found as quest rewards, as loot dropped from enemies, or from vendors, and can range from restoration skills and buffs to attacks and defensive skills. Like weapons, some skills require stat requirements, so that there's limits to how much a player can cross into the realms of physical and magic skills at once. Some skills also require a specific weapon to be equipped, which adds a further dimension to battle – the ability to switch between weapons means entire skill sets can be swapped for the situation as well. Skills can also be upgraded and combined, just like regular summoning cards, and dozens can be equipped at once – meaning that the player should never be without the right tool for the job. Some skills can be used freely, but others require the use of items or money.
The Mercenaries
CardMon Hero is nothing without the summoned mercenaries, the backbone of the combat system. Mercenaries can be summoned from either permanent or one-time use cards, and can range in power and abilities, from tanks and physical attackers, to ranged and casters, and even mercenaries who will only stay by your side and buff you. Unlike many pet systems, mercenaries do not remain out permanently at your side; they only last for a few minutes, and have a cool down on use. Most mercenaries also require the use of arc stones, special loot that can be obtained both as loot from enemies and from disassembling weapons.
Mercenaries level with the summoner, but can also be upgraded through a card upgrade system. The card upgrade system itself is quite similar to the game's equipment upgrade system, which lets items and cards be upgraded by the use of arc stones and catalysts to stabilize the upgrade and prevent it from failing. By using recipes and the right formulas, however, cards can also be combined to make newer, and more powerful mercenaries. Like skill cards, dozens of mercenaries can be slotted for quick use at one time.
Battle on, heroes…
Progression in CardMon Hero utilizes a combination of questing, battling, and instances to gain experience, loot, and cards. The map of the game – formed in a large U shape – offers zone-to-zone progression that helps players keep on track with the enemies and quests they need to complete their job. While this lends to a bit of linear gameplay, especially for fans of questing, the end result is a fairly smooth gameplay that doesn't leave gaps for grinding or "where do I go now?" moments. It also reduces the sense of grinding, even if there are options available for players to do so, particularly the Bulletin Board system.
… and battle heroes, too
For those looking for PvP, there's plenty of options. PvP begins at level 20, and offers various modes, from survival and team battles (1 versus 1 to 16 versus 16), to water balloon fights and personal-skills only battles. These modes are found in the Battle Board system, which is limited to a certain amount of actions per day per player (like many browser game action point systems). While the game isn't centered around PvP, there are plenty of options to test your skills against other players, for fun and for climbing in the rankings.
Final Verdict: Good
CardMon's twist on classic MMORPG combat and pet system is surprisingly fun. There's depth to the combat system that requires both pre-planning and reactive skills, and enough to do to keep both casual and hardcore players entertained. Although the game takes the route of anime-style graphics, the animations, art, and voice-acting are also great. What's holding this game back is a smooth explanation of the game systems through tutorials or other in-game hints (some things are reasonably explained, and some are merely assumed) and an awkward control system that ends up with poor camera and movement controls, as well as difficult managing mercenaries at times. If you can get used to the controls, however, this game is definitely worth putting some time into.

Carmakers: Proposed law would hurt consumers
Monday, March 25, 2013
DOVER — Auto manufacturers are warning that a bill gaining traction in New Hampshire will hurt car dealers, increase costs for consumers and potentially spark a legal battle.
"Our goal in any franchise bill that is proposed is to find some sort of balance — find some sort of harmony," Dooley said. "The proposals that we push back on are the things that we push back on everywhere, and what we're finding in New Hampshire specifically is we're not making any headway to bring the New Hampshire provisions back into the general fold that we see in other states."
Dubbed a "bill of rights" for auto dealers, SB126 comes after a tumultuous period in the industry. Several local auto dealers were shuttered in 2008 and 2009, as the country's big three domestic automakers struggled to stay afloat. Gage said the upheaval created a political opening for local car dealers.
"There's still ill will," he said, "and they've used that environment to capitalize, I think, here, and in our view, go beyond what is balanced and fair."
AAM is willing to negotiate on the issue, Dooley said, but a 15-year moratorium goes "well beyond" any industry standard the alliance has ever encountered, she said. Dooley pointed out that many facility upgrades are voluntary, and others don't come at the full cost of the dealer. The group is pushing for a compromise of seven years — a guideline used in some other states.
For manufacturers, consistency in branding is often the motivating factor behind asking dealers to change sales and service facilities. Dooley said AAM members fear another provision in the New Hampshire law could chip away at that consistency. It would allow dealers to use their own signs — a move she called "inappropriate."
"There's nothing to stop them from a going to a junkyard and buying a sign that Ford made in 1953 and hanging it over their door ..." Dooley said. "Our companies put time and design elements into what their brand looks like, what their logo looks like."
Another proposal drawing criticism would reduce the time window available for auto manufacturers to audit their incentive and reimbursement programs. The bill would grant automakers only six months to audit records after claims are paid out. Other states have adopted a 12-month cap, Dooley said.
But AAM argues the language in the bill so broad that car dealers could request anything they desired — even proprietary information, such as the computer codes used to program vehicles.

The opening trio of tunes have plenty of energy, and the YEM is particularly exciting. The jam isn't long, but the drum and bass section is outstanding. Mike uses a unique effect to drive a patient jam that slowly builds in momentum and his "laser" sound gives the D&B section a very unique flavor.
The Bag to open the second set sounds like the whole band's just taken some Valium for the first five minutes or so before they all sort of wake up.
Reba is played at a very fast pace, especially the lyric section. The bass kind of disappears at the end, not sure what happened here. The novelty of Walfredo is introduced amusingly by Trey.
To make sure you dont get confused with the sauce, this song is not called Alfredo. Its called Walfredo. We hope you like it.
Of historic interest, following Walfredo with Rock-A-William marks the only time these two songs were paired back-to-back. So you get a solid block of time with band members playing each other's instruments in the middle of the second set. The rest of the show is completely standard.
Definitely worth hearing this YEM. It's a gem in an otherwise overlooked Europe tour show.

Sellersburg Man Arrested Following Standoff with Police
A Sellersburg man who shot a Clark County deputy and killed a police K-9 during a nearly 10-hour standoff with police Monday in Sellersburg is now in custody.
Indiana State Police say 31-year-old Joshua L. Priddy was finally taken into custody around 9:30 Monday night. He is lodged in the Clark County Jail on charges of attempted murder of a police officer, causing the death of a law enforcement animal, burglary, residential entry, pointing a firearm and criminal recklessness with a firearm.
Officials say between 11:30 a.m. and noon Monday Sellersburg Police responded to a domestic call in the 800 block of Iowa St. in Sellersburg. When the Sellersburg officer arrived in the area, he was confronted by Priddy who pointed a handgun at the officer. The officer took cover and shortly thereafter the suspect fled the area on foot and a foot pursuit ensued. The suspect attempted to gain entry into a couple of homes in the neighborhood where he finally entered the house at 712 E. Delaware St. There was no one home at the time.
After it was determined attempts to negotiate with the suspect were not going to be effective, SWAT teams deployed numerous rounds of teargas inside the residence. Priddy then surrendered to officers ending the standoff.

Though cell phones should only be as good as the calls they make, the hype over a trendsetting design is not something that mobile manufacturers have ignored. And this autumn, there's no better example of supercool design than the long-awaited Motorola Razr V3. Fashioned like no other handset before it, the razor-thin V3 adds a ton of much-needed bling to Cingular's formerly staid lineup. Indeed, even we were frothing at the mouth to give it a test spin--not only for the flashy form factor but also for the promised high-end goodies. Fortunately, the V3 delivers in all areas and is one instance where a cell phone has stood up to the excitement. Though the V3 is expensive at $449, consumers looking for a conversation-piece cell phone can do no better. Hopefully, Cingular will lower the price in the near future.
Editor's note: We have changed the rating in this review to reflect recent changes in our rating scale. Click here to find out more. When viewed straight on, the Motorola Razr V3 looks no different from many flip phones. In fact, with its brushed-silver coloring (it also comes in black) and rectangular shape, it almost leaves you wondering exactly what the big deal is. Turn the handset on its side, however, and the wow factor begins. Measuring 3.8 by 2.0 by 0.5 inches and weighing 3.3 ounces, the Razr V3 is so pocket-friendly and portable that it's smaller than many wallets. It also feels light--almost too light--in the hand, and its distinctive styling is sure to win looks on the street and in the boardroom. Fortunately, Motorola did not compromise a solid construction for the cutting-edge design, and the burly hinge ensures the phone snaps open and shut with authority. Still, due to the slim form factor, this is not a phone for the danger prone. We couldn't help noticing the V3 is wider and a bit taller than many flip phones, but its paper-thin profile more than makes up for it.
A postage-stamp-size external display supports 4,000 colors and shows the time, battery life, signal strength, and caller ID (where available). Though it can be viewed in most lighting situations, it goes completely dark when the backlighting--which cannot be changed--turns off. Above the screen and well out of the way of fingers is the VGA camera lens. You don't get a flash or a self-portrait mirror, but the external screen acts as a viewfinder when the flip is closed. Controls on the outside of the phone are few. A voice-recorder button sits on the right side of the front flap, while a volume rocker and a dedicated camera key sit on the left; when the phone is open, the camera button acts as a third soft key. As they are on the side of the phone, the buttons are rather thin, but we had no trouble finding them by feel.
Open the phone, and you're treated to a gorgeous, 2.5-inch, 260,000-color display. Wonderfully vivid and crisp, it does a fine job of showing photos and graphics, and it's easy to view in direct light. The text size, however, cannot be changed. Immediately below the screen are the unique navigation controls and keypad. To ensure the Razr's slim stature, navigation buttons lie completely flush with the surface of the phone. Using the slippery controls took some acclimation, but they're decently sized, so we got the hang of it eventually. For menu navigation, you get a five-way toggle that acts as a shortcut to four user-defined features. There also are two soft keys, Talk and End buttons, and dedicated keys for the Web browser and messaging. As with most Motorola handsets, there are no dedicated Back or camera keys. And like the Motorola V180 , the Razr has Talk and End buttons that are in different positions than those of the company's other handsets. For the keypad, we were wary initially of the flat design and the lack of individual buttons, but the brightly backlit keys turned out to be easier to use than we expected. It should be noted, though, that the buttons lack any texture, so dialing by feel is difficult. The design has drawn mixed emotions for users, so you should give the buttons a test-drive first.The Motorola Razr V3 has a generous set of features. The 1,000-name phone book can hold six phone numbers and an e-mail address in each entry; an additional 250 names can be stored on the SIM card. Contacts can be assigned to caller groups and be paired with a picture (which shows up on the external screen) or any of 14 monophonic or 5 polyphonic ring tones. Other features include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, MP3 file support, a calculator, voice dialing, a date book, an alarm clock, AOL Instant Messenger, a WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser, and a voice recorder. You also get support for POP3, SMTP, and IMAP4 e-mail; full Bluetooth connectivity; a USB port; and a speakerphone. Our only complaint is that the speakerphone can be turned on only when a call is in progress.

POSTED: Monday, January 28, 2013 - 8:34am
UPDATED: Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 11:49am
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A bipartisan group of senators plans to announce Monday an agreement on reforming the nation's immigration system, which President Barack Obama has called a priority in his second term in office.
The eight lawmakers' proposal includes provisions for a path to citizenship for immigrants already living in the United States, and guest worker and employment verification systems.
The proposal in the Senate and Obama's trip Tuesday to Las Vegas, where he'll press for immigration reform, signal the largest movement in years for major reforms to the county's immigration system.
Aides say the president's Tuesday remarks will touch on the blueprint he's detailed in the past: improving border security, cracking down on employers who hire undocumented workers, and creating a pathway to "earned" citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
Those align closely with what the eight senators laid out in a framework of their legislation, though specific details have yet to be hammered out. According to the framework obtained by CNN, the lawmakers will push four "legislative pillars" containing mainly broad stroke measures:
A "tough but fair" path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already living in the United States, and bolstering the nation's border security.
Overhauling the country's legal immigration system, including attaching green cards to advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, or math from U.S. universities.
Establishing an employment verification system that holds employers accountable for hiring undocumented workers.
- Creating a guest worker program for positions that Americans are either unable or unwilling to fill.
The senators behind the plan are Democrats Chuck Schumer of New York, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Robert Menendez of New Jersey, and Michael Bennet of Colorado and Republicans John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marco Rubio of Florida, and Jeff Flake of Arizona.
On Sunday, Menendez told ABC's "This Week" that the time was right for pushing major immigration reform through the Senate.
"First of all, Americans support it in poll after poll," he said. "Secondly, Latino voters expect it. Thirdly, Democrats want it. And fourth, Republicans need it."
Though many activists were unhappy with Obama for failing to tackle the issue in his first term, he won 71% of the Latino vote in November against Republican challenger Mitt Romney -- who had said he would drive undocumented workers to "self-deportation" by making conditions so harsh for them that they left the United States.
November's poor showing among Latinos has led to soul-searching for the GOP, which hopes to make gains among the growing voting bloc in coming years.
McCain, a veteran of failed attempts to address the issue during the George W. Bush administration, said the group of senators' proposal isn't "that much different from what we tried to do in 2007."
This time, "There is a new, I think, appreciation on both sides of the aisle -- including maybe more importantly on the Republican side of the aisle -- that we have to enact a comprehensive immigration reform bill," said McCain, the party's 2008 presidential nominee.
"We are losing dramatically the Hispanic vote, which we think should be ours, for a variety of reasons, and we've got to understand that," McCain added.
Ahead of his Las Vegas trip, the president met behind closed doors Friday with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and vowed to "move the debate forward," and warned that there was "no excuse for stalling or delay," the White House said in a statement.
Rep. Xavier Becerra , D-California, who was at the meeting said that Obama had indicated that immigration reform "is his top legislative priority."
CNN's Dana Bash, Kevin Liptak and Matt Smith contributed to this report.

Comments about Infiniti 1/2 Zip II:
I run year-round outdoors in the upper Midwest, and was looking for a cool-weather running top. Here's how I saw it:
Fit. Excellent! I'm 5'10", ~165 lbs, with long arms and long torso, and I got a size L, which fits perfectly. In particular the arm length is great (rare for me) - no straining at the thumbholes, and the sleeves come down to near my knuckles if I use the thumbholes. The fit is semi-tight on me - neither baggy nor skin-tight - very comfortable.
Color/style/fabric. Very pleased. Love the intense purple. The fabric is smooth and doesn't snag. The look is sleek. There's a nice little zip pocket at the top, big enough for a key and probably a phone/IPod, though I don't use one when I run so haven't tested that out. The zipper guard at the top is a great feature.
Use. I was looking for a top to wear on its own for runs in the 20-30F degree range. This isn't it - it's a little too thin for that for me. I can wear it alone at about 35F if it isn't windy, and above about 45F, it's a little on the too-warm side once I get warmed up during the run. (I tend to run warm, though, and don't get chilled easily. I suspect many runners could wear this top comfortably even in the 50s F - just not me.) In colder conditions, I've been wearing it under a fleece top, which is quite comfy.
Overall: Even though it wasn't quite as warm on its own as I was hoping for (which is the only reason I took off a star - everything else was great), I like the looks and fit so much that I kept it, and am happy with the purchase.
- Fit:
- Feels true to size
- Was this a gift?:
- No

Heart's Ann Wilson On Finally Being Picked For Rock Hall
Thursday, December 13, 2012
Heart fans are rejoicing over the fact that 11 long years after becoming eligible, the band is heading into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Lead singer Ann Wilson shed some light on the fine line between being consistently passed over and finally being accepted into the Hall: "We've had occasions to go in when we're in Cleveland and do various little things at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, y'know, little musical events and stuff like that. I've been there a few times and seen all the cool items they have there. I know people tend to do go, when they don't get inducted into the Rock Hall, they're like, 'Oh, well it doesn't mean anything' -- and then when they do, all of a sudden: 'Yeah! It's great!' It's such a hard thing for a musician, because the thing that makes you do it is the music itself."

The majority of games build on successes of other games and many are downright clones. So where is the limit of emulating before legal issues come into play? Is it down to literary or graphic work like characters and storyline that cause legal problems, or can someone actually claim to own gameplay mechanics?
There are so many similar clone games out there that the rules are probably very slack or nonexistent, but I'd like to hear the views of more experienced developers / designers.

Yes on Hagel
To the editor: Pressed for time, I only got to listen to a few minutes of the lengthy Senate Confirmation Hearing on the appointment of former Senator (R-Nebraska) Chuck Hagel to Secretary of Defense. However, these were the most critical minutes as Hagel was getting grilled by Senator John McCain and were all I needed to be convinced that Hagel is the right person for the job.
That answer alone made it clear that Sergeant Hagel, who served as an Army infantry squad leader and was wounded twice in Vietnam, is a reluctant yet willing warrior if the cause is just and all other options have been exhausted. It was also abundantly evident a decade ago that Iraq, which is still very relevant, did not fit that criteria unless one considers executing "The Surge" as justification for starting a war that, like Afghanistan, still hasn't been paid for (see Iraq War effect on National Debt) at an extremely high cost as stated by Hagel.
Very proud
To the editor: As selectman and emergency management director in the town of Middleton, I am very proud to recognize the heroic actions that were taken in the recent standoff on Thursday, Jan. 31, in Middleton.
A decision was made by the Police Chief, Emergency Management Director, and the Selectmen to open the Old Town Hall for those who could not return to their homes. Local volunteers brought hot coffee, doughnuts, and soda, and Farmington House of Pizza delivered 10 pizzas and numerous bottles of soda to our awaiting residents, assorted emergency personnel, and reporters.
