Panic in the plains: agricultural markets and the panic of 1893
Nearly every previous study of the 1893 bank panic acknowledges its regional concentration in the Western states yet few provide any in-depth study of what caused such a distinct regional pattern. Here, I recast the 1893 crisis as having its origins in agricultural markets and then spreading to Western banks that were highly exposed to agricultural shocks. Negative shocks to agricultural yields and the relative importance of the wheat crop for specific states emerge as important explanations for the regional pattern of bank closures and thus for the panic itself.

Narr Effeld
Narr is a very peculiar fellow. He is unlike many other Musi, even those who do choose to leave their city upon their 21st birthday. Because of the specific occurrences that Narr was exposed to as an lad, he had developed a dwarfed view of the nature of certain things. In many ways, he is still somewhat like a child, never truly understanding the difference between what is truly right and what is truly wrong. Prior to the event with the brothers (see history), he generally believed everything that came out of the mouths of the Musi teachers was true. After the brothers, he didn't see it that way. His ideals developed from looking at the two separate conflicting ways of doing things, and taking what he thought was right from both of them. However, he mostly relied on what he wanted to do, rather than what others told him to do.
That said, Narr is a generally happy Musi. He isn't overly optimistic or ecstatically jubilant. He simply goes through life fairly content with his lifestyle and his decisions. It was probably his monk training that has restrained this nature inside of him, though it only partially succeeded as Narr does have some tendency to get excited, especially if it involves something he really wants to do, like treasure hunting, mercenary work, or banditry. He doesn't often take to heart what others say or thinks about him, nor does he generally like to make opinions about others. As he believes he is his own man (Musi man), so to are everyone else free to do as they please. As long as their interests do not conflict, they have no problems.
Narr has a complicated moral compass. He has no problems with killing, especially in self-defense. He feels killing is simply another part of life, and in some cases, another part of the job he has to do. Thus, he often won't give a second thought if he ever needed to kill somebody without mercy, especially during a job where it might be required. This isn't because he is evil. Because of his persona he developed growing up, he merely doesn't view killing as a sin. This is the same for other acts that society generally finds appalling or morally heinous. In fact, there is very little, if anything at all, that Narr would be unwilling to do, or stand for others to do. If such acts occurred around, Narr would be generally fine with it. Lying, cheating, stealing, killing, etc, are all terms that aren't on Narr's 'bad' radar. In fact, the only thing that he really detests is when others try to prevent him from going after his goal, his mission. In this case, it would be one of the few examples where he can also sympathize with others in a similar position. However, besides that, Narr generally doesn't care about others or their problems. Sob stories have not much affect on him, even if he somehow were the cause. He is sometimes quite polite though, something else he had picked up from Musi culture, but that politeness may also come up in somewhat inappropriate ways. As in one example in which he caused a poor family the destruction of their house. The mother cried as her home was destroyed, wondering what she was going to do to feed her family and live, and Narr merely replied with, "You'll get over it. Have a nice day!" He would say with a bright smile, and be on his way. Again, he does this not to make fun of the family in their situation of despair, but rather instead because he doesn't truly understand the extent of their situation to begin with, nor does he really want to understand.
Narr enjoys adventure. He loves to go to new places and experience new things. He wouldn't mind trying almost anything at least once, as he has done much in the past. He particularly enjoys mercenary work, bodyguard service, banditry and piracy. However, perhaps the most enjoyable hobby he has is treasure hunting, finding lost items of value, or recover them from others (theft) for personal use, or to sell. He still searches everyday for his biggest payout, one he vowed he would one day find.
Like many other Musi of Adlania, Narr was confined to the village of his birth, in Detem. His parents had elected to stay in the town once they had reached their age of decision, and thus were content to grow up their entire lives living in the city. His father and mother both became teachers themselves, instructing the young of the degree of sins that the world of Adlania have. Though they never turned out to be Narr's teachers, they still displayed that discipline in their fields and in their home. There was never much talk about what Narr's decision would be once he would reach 21, but there was constant implication by his parents that they expected him to elect to remain in Detem, and perhaps continue the tradition of becoming a teacher to instruct the next generation.
Yet even from an early age, Narr was certain he didn't want this to be his fate. He wasn't sure why, but the constant instruction and teaching that was taught to him never truly kicked in. He would retain certain things that they would teach, but for some reason, his brain was somehow designed to think differently. There was a constant notion for him to secretly believe that most of what they would tell him just wasn't true. They told him to be responsible, yet he didn't feel he had any obligation to do so. They told him to be chaste...and he truly had no intention. They told him to fight against the corruption of the world, yet he didn't know if the world truly had anything that he could outright label as corrupt. They told him to be honest, yet his entire persona he put up with them was a lie. He told them what they wanted to hear, just so he could get through the days without getting into too much trouble. There were some situations and occurrences that did happen that were probably avoidable, mostly early on when he was still experimenting with his true feelings. However, as time passed, he got to grips with his own beliefs, and hid those from others. He did a fairly good job, until it was time for him leave Detem at 21, and thus he did, never intending to return.
But it could be entirely impossible for Narr to have suddenly developed such a trait as to have this outright defiance. No, it didn't just develop
out of nowhere. In fact, there was a rather significant event that has happened when he was around 11 years old. On night, Narr heard rustling from outside when everyone else was asleep. He traveled outside, following the noise, knowing if he was caught snooping around the village at this late hour, he would have gotten in trouble. But the noise he was hearing almost felt like it was drawing him to it. The source took him a bit outside the city, to a campfire set up nearby. There, two human children sat. It was the first time (and until 21, the last time) that he had ever seen a human. They were orphans, having run away from their orphanage, and they were brothers. There was the younger, Jisen, who was about 13. Then there was his older brother, Maxiell, who was around 16 at the time. At first, Narr was afraid of the two, but as they began to talk to him, his anxiety dropped. Narr soon found himself having quite a long conversation with the two brothers, the topics of all different areas. Narr spoke a bit about his own lifestyle in his village, but he was most interested in hearing about the outside world. As the brothers described it, the land was wondrous and full of adventure. They had only left their orphanage
a year prior, but had already been to many places. As they put it, they were adventurers, looking to find the mysteries and secrets the lands hold. They had to steal on occasions to survive, and had a few run-ins with the law, but their life was a free one. Narr was extremely interested in what they had to say. The tales they told were as if they were from a storybook. If any of it were exaggerated, Narr didn't care. It was one of the most entertaining nights he had.
The brothers mentioned something specific they were looking for along their travels as well. They handed Narr a book, entitled, "
The Legend of the Dread King
. In it, it detailed the story of a pirate who had terrorized Adlania, particularly in the Bertam Sea long ago, known as the Dread King. It was said that he had plundered the riches of a thousand cities, that he had garnered wealth of unimaginable proportions. It was also written in the book that when the man died, or retired, the details were unclear, he his his treasure somewhere in the land of Adlania. The brothers were off to find his treasure, even if many doubt that it even exists. As a present to Narr, the two gave him the book. Although very young, Narr promised the brothers that when he was old enough, he would leave and find the legendary treasure of the Dread King.
The night ended, and the boys were no longer at the site the following day when Narr examined. In fact, Narr never saw them again after that. However, he kept the book they gave him, reading it constantly in secret on late nights, while imagining traveling around to find such a thing. It was ultimately this book, and the encounter with the brothers, that had changed Narr and developed his view. He no longer saw how other Musi did. He didn't want to be like them. This he also promised to himself. So when the time came of his 21st birthday, Narr made the unexpected (by his parents) decision to leave Detem. He carried little with him in his possession, besides a pair of robes, some basic necessities, and the book he had gotten a decade earlier. To the day, no matter how silly it would have sounded, he intended to keep his promise, and try to find the Dread King's treasure. That would be his goal, what he would strive and live for.
Narr would begin his travels through the land, first going to human settlements, before going beyond that. He knew only about the lands what the brothers had told him, so nothing could prepare him for what he encountered, though he was still probably more prepared than other Musi, having been exposed to at least a bit. Still, as the months passed, he soon would adapt to a certain lifestyle on the road. Narr would pick up things along the way, including how to use a weapon, in his case a pair of swords he would use in fighting. He would take jobs whenever he can, mostly work as a help on farms, or a blacksmith. However, as time passed and his outlook evolved, he also took more fighting-centered jobs, like that of a guard, an escort, a mercenary, and even a bandit/pirate. Nothing was off limits for Narr to do, as long as it got him paid along the way. If others would have asked him, he would do what he wanted just for the heck of it. Partly, that was true, but in secrecy, he still continued to search for the treasure that few believe existed, a promise he made that he intended to fulfill, even if it turned out to take him his entire life to find.

Physical activity benefits lung cancer patients and survivors.
Exercise and physical activity should be considered as therapeutic options for lung cancer as they have been shown to reduce symptoms, increase exercise tolerance, improve quality of life, and potentially reduce length of hospital stay and complications following surgery for lung cancer.
Early stage NSCLC patients with low tumor metabolic activity have longer survival.
Low pre-surgery uptake of a labeled glucose analogue, a marker of metabolic activity, in the primary tumor of patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with increased overall survival and a longer time before tumor recurrence. Patients with high labeled glucose uptake may benefit from additional therapy following surgery.
Early recall rates decline after second round of lung cancer screening.
The German Lung Cancer Screening Intervention Trial (LUSI) shows that the early repeat scan rate for suspicious findings decreased by more than 80% with the second and subsequent low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screens, but emphasizes the need to have an organized screening program with the baseline scan available for comparison.
Concurrent chemoradiation treatment at high-volume facilities improves survival for non-small cell lung cancer patients.
Patients treated with definitive concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy (CCRT) for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have longer overall survival when treated by highly experienced facilities, whether or not they are academic or community cancer centers.
Online education tool helps bridge gaps in therapeutic decision-making for advanced NSCLC.
A new interactive online tool helps educate practicing oncologists worldwide with therapeutic decision-making for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on a patient's molecular and clinical characteristics by providing feedback from an expert panel.
Mesothelioma in young people and women in southern Nevada likely the result of asbestos in the environment
Malignant mesothelioma has been found at higher than expected levels in women and in individuals younger than 55 years old in the southern Nevada counties of Clark and Nye, likewise in the same region carcinogenic mineral fibers including actinolite asbestos, erionite, winchite, magnesioriebeckite and richterite were discovered. These data, published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, the official journal of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, suggest that these elevated numbers of malignant mesothelioma cases are linked to environmental exposure of carcinogenic mineral fibers.

Help I try to get Ryan to learn how to ride his bike with no training wheels. I ran behind him but he would just put his feet down when I let go. He would not peel. So I was exhustated and he was all bruised up from falling.
Any ideas?

I am so sorry! When Kyle learned it was a huge stressful event! He is very cautious! The biggest thing that helped with us was taking him around other kids that were doing it! He and our neighbor boy are the same age and we took both the boys to the park on a beautiful day and watched some older boys do it and talked about how fast they could go, or how much easier it was to go up and down the curbs, etc. We also would take walks and watch the neighborhood kids riding. Once they decided to take the plunge, it went very fast! Down hills was the last thing he mastered and we didn't try them until he was riding without the trainers for about a month! Also, we went to a park with a very flat walking/riding trail so it wasn't bumpy.
GOod luck! Another girl in his class from our neighborhood is totally scared to do it now also. Even though she really wants to keep up with them she won't try!
Mom to:
Kyle 7/30/02 -- Kent 4/24/05 -- Kaden 10/4/07
Rachel hasn't learned to ride her bike without training wheels. We'll probably work on that this summer. As with everything else with her, I try not to stress about it and figure she will get there when she gets there.
Sierra won't even try anymore. I think she plans on riding the tricycle or plasma car for ever. My DH made the mistake of taking off the training wheels waaayyyyy too early and she had some bad experiences on the bike. So now it just sits in the garage getting dusty. Hopefully, we can get her back on it now that the weather is starting to get nice.
Mommy to S. (07/02) and X. (09/09)
Victoria hasn't learned to ride her bike without the training wheels either. She just sort of sits on the seat and walks it around. Once the snow goes maybe we will have some luck getting her to try it again.
I wish I knew what to tell you but I am out of ideas myself.
Erin(36)DH Ashley(48) DD V (13), DS H (5), DS B (4)
Last summer my DH taught my son to ride in one day. He took him to the park that had a grassy hill and had him ride/coast down the hill. It really helped with the balance and when he fell it was on grass, not concrete. By the end of the summer DS was speeding around the neighborhood with one hand.
Baby Makes Five_______________
Trying on grass can help. But if he struggles with the peddling, then grass can suck for the extra effort they need to put forth in doing. As well sometimes they just need a good push to get going. Either way, I am sure he'll pick it up when he's ready.
Hannah enjoys riding her bike, no more training wheels for her, and she actually just wanted to do it, and was determined on her own to try and get the hang of it. Took a couple days, but she got the hang of it. Matthew still uses training wheels on his bike, and Joshua just scoots around on his Plasma car.
Take care.
Wife of 10 years to my sweetheart husband, and proud mother to our 4 beautiful and amazing children.
When I tried getting DD to ride w/o training wheels she tried it for about 5 seconds then basically told me I was crazy and to put them back on. I have a feeling once she see's her friends riding without them she'll change her mind, but I'm leavin g it up to her now.Good luck!!

Kyler wants a go cart and Grandpa said he would get him one ( would be used with grandpa for the time being, he is just a big kid). However we told Kyler that he first had to master ride without training wheels then we would move on, that should give him some good incentive to learn.

Try fixing the stabilisers (training wheels) wonky (lower on one side than the other) making the bike stand at a leaning angle. This makes the child work at balancing the bike by themselves to get it upright when moving. And then they've done it without realising - and no risk of tipping off and landing on the floor. :)
I taught my dd last summer. We were having a hard time getting her to balance on the bike so we bought her a big girl scooter (2 wheels not 3) and let her start balancing on that for about a week and once she got that she was much better on the bike


text: A myocardial infarction (MI) is another name for a heart attack. Your heart is always working to pump blood to your entire body. Blood carries oxygen and other nutrients that your body needs to do its work. Your heart needs a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood for itself as well. The blood vessels that supply blood to your heart muscle are called coronary arteries. Sometimes one or more of the coronary arteries becomes too narrowed or completely blocked, or it spasms (tightens). This causes part of the heart muscle to not get enough of the oxygen-rich blood it needs. If the muscle goes too long without oxygen, it starts to die. This is known as a myocardial infarction.

Outstanding 4.7 /5 from 115 reviews
Stay was fantastic...indoor and outdoor pool well kept. Could use a bigger beach! The view and convenience of being right on the Bay was wonderful. Enjoyed the free use of row boats but paddle boats have seen better days. Definitely would return...ASAP! Great main base to explore Door County and then relax by the pool. Spent one day just enjoying the hotel facilities and had a BBQ!
Very nice, well kept property. Due to a computer reservation error we chose the separate duplex apartment. Although private and close to the hotel facilities, access was difficult by either walking across a sloping lawn or down a rear staircase which was in need of a good sweeping. The 2 pools, whirlpool, gym and laundry facilities were great. Access to the private beach was only a few steps with view to beautiful sunsets. I would come again but try to reserve a regular suite.
Great place to stay. Beautiful view with very helpful staff. Located away from town so very peaceful. Only a few miles from everthing.
Great staff at the desk, very nice water views
This was our 1st visit to Door County and we wanted to stay in a hotel which offered a lake view, outdoor pool and a nice relaxed atmosphere, but from which we could go out for day trips to discover the other towns. This worked perfectly for our needs. It would have been nice to have at least one restaurant within walking distance.

Thank goodness for the internet. All I had to do is type in S.I.R.s and there it was. Numerous reports from all over North America and Europe, everyday people with the hopes of a better life being taken advantage of. It is dispicable! I was lucky, but everyone is not so lucky. $21.95 is not a lot of money, but who has money to throw away.
These people need to be stopped. A class action suit against them would certainly stop them in their tracks. I hope some wise lawyer sees this as a great opportunity. I thought something was up when at the top of the document sweepstakes was spelled swepstakes. Be ware and warn your family and friends.

FLIP REPORT: Tonight, John did not increase any dollar amounts won by flipping cards for any of the contestants. - agent_0042 (2009)
(1) "WML?" SPONSOR AND ANNOUNCER WATCH: Tonight's chief sponsor is Kellogg's. And announcer Hal Simms employs the "award-winning 'What's My Line?' panel" variation of the intro this evening.
(2) JEANNE CRAIN: The actress, who makes her second and final "WML?" appearance tonight, was quite busy on television in 1959. Besides the upcoming TV production of "Meet Me in St. Louis" in which she co-starred, Miss Crain also appeared in the "Goodyear Theatre" installment "Wait Till Spring" on May 31, 1959; and the October 25, 1959 episode of "Riverboat" titled "Escape to Memphis." (The two stars of "Riverboat," Darren McGavin and Burt Reynolds, had "WML?" ties in later years: Mr. McGavin as a guest panelist on EPISODE #590 of November 26, 1961, and later a mystery guest on the 1968-1975 syndicated version in 1972 and 1973; and Mr. Reynolds as a mystery guest on the syndicated "WML?" in 1971.)
(3) "WML?" END CREDITS AND CREDITS CRUNCH WATCH: For the second week in a row, during the end credits, the production staff accidentally used the pre-1958 "In association with the CBS Television Network" card instead of the "A CBS Television Network Production" card. Other than that, the full production crew credits were shown as they should have been -- but GSN's dismal "crunching" of the screen on its February 11, 2009 airing of this episode is something that never should have been.
(4) Following GSN's February 11, 2009 airing of tonight's show, the cable and satellite channel reran the July 8, 1958 edition of "To Tell the Truth," hosted by Bud Collyer, with the panel of Polly Bergen, Jackie Cooper, Kitty Carlisle and Hy Gardner. The first game featured Kenneth Rooney (senior chief lifeguard at Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY) and two impostors; the second game featured Fred R. Dickson (warden of San Quentin Prison in California) and two impostors; and the third game featured Sue Huron (approximate spelling; marathon talking champion) and two impostors. It should be noted that within the previous month in 1958, "TTTT" began alternating sponsorship, with the other sponsor, every other week, being a cigarette manufacturer; this means that half the "TTTT" episodes in this stretch will not be shown by GSN, due to its misguided self-inflicted prohibition on vintage cigarette advertising. - W-B (2005, updated 2009)
REVIEW: The panel continued their recent dismal pattern of failing to guess the regular contestants, but correctly guessing the mystery guest. In the first game, the panel was totally stumped by the bill collector from Hollywood. After that game, in an attempt to be funny, Bennett asked a somewhat rude question when he asked the contestant to name the three biggest deadbeats in Hollywood. This embarrassed John and caused him to rush Mr. Kane off the stage. In the second game, the panel was a little more successful as they figured out that the contestant taught prisoners a skill of some sort. However, they were unable to figure out that he taught butchery. They did have success in the mystery guest round as Bennett correctly identified Jeanne Crain. Miss Crain was on the show to promote the upcoming special that she was rehearsing for, a 1959 live-television production of "Meet Me in St. Louis," which was a remake of the famous 1944 MGM movie. The TV special would also star Jane Powell in the role made famous by infamous WML mystery guest Judy Garland. Unfortunately, there was no time for a fourth game. But then again, given their track record tonight, it may have been for the best. - Sargebri (2005)
Jeanne Crain's upcoming live-TV CBS production of "Meet Me in St. Louis" will preempt What's My Line? in three weeks. The stage play was kinescoped, and is available for viewing at the Museum of TV and Radio in New York City. - Suzanne (2005)
With contestant #2, Louis C. Schneider, Arlene's questioning gets as far as, "Do you teach them (the inmates) something?" (yes) "Now, I have to figure out what you teach?" John replies, "Yes, but congratulations on getting this far!" Off on the other end of the panel, Bennett and Dorothy suggest basket weaving! That CRACKS Arlene up!! Joining in on the fun, she jokes, "How to put a knife in a cake!!" And, of COURSE, after Mr. Schneider's line is fully revealed, both Bennett and Arlene joke, "aren't some of the inmates in prison for that in the FIRST place?" (hee hee!)
While saying good night, BC asks: "John, is it true that in private life you dance like Fred Astaire?"
JD: "Ha! That's a leading question, is it? Well, that leads me into saying good night ladies and gentlemen, and thanks for being with us on 'What's My Line?'" - fiveninegal (2003)

We stayed here overnight. It's 20 miles from the nearest city Winslow. It has a small convenience store and gas station and that's all. Local TV is available on an antenna. Our site was level. - Shadowberr

Very clean well maintained park. Our site was very level. Free coffee in the mornings as well as a 5 cent discount on gas right there at the park. Beautiful sunset over the mountains. About 18 miles from downtown. - Nini03

Overnight stopover with 30 amp fairly level gravel site behind gas/store. Attendant very helpful. Big rig with toad pulls along row of hook ups. The remainder of the park is full of permanents. Roads rough in that area. Taking a space just behind the store avoids holes & puts you pretty much on your own. Road noise, so you must keep windows closed. We would take this spot overnight again only if it times out for overnight! - Proud Mary
Sep 2011 - $22.00
This park was formerly called Freddies RV Park. It has trash on the ground. The sewer fixtures do not have caps; at best they are covered with plywood boards that blow off in the wind. There is noise from I-40 nearby. Sites are nearly level, a mix of gravel and dirt, have little or no shade, and are short, narrow, and close together. Roads are a mix of gravel and dirt, wide, with many potholes. The office is in the Winslow Fuel gas station at 1 Transcon Lane, Winslow AZ 86047, phone 928 289 9177. Staff are friendly. Verizon data service works well. The rate is with tax; no discounts are offered. Credit cards are accepted. - wjzcbn
Jun 2010 - $22.00
We stayed here because there were decent supermarkets for us to stock up as our next stop was for 8 nights and a long ways from shopping. It's basically a gravel lot with hookups, just off exit 255. Take your own paper if you want to use the toilet. Most sites are vacant except for the occasional long term tenant. No credit cards. Self registration is likely. - rvfulltime

Great park! Very clean and well managed. All sites are Southwest style landscaping with small stones, landscape timbers and small trees. They have an ala carte style fee schedule. My rate of $16 was for Camp Club USA, 30 amp and no sewer. I'll stay here whenever I'm passing by. - Paul & betty
May 2006 - $15.00
This was a decent park no bells and whistles but nice to stay in for a few nights if you are passing through. Manager is a very nice man who loves kids. I would stay here again. No bathrooms and no laundry room. But there are 7 or more laundromats within 5 miles. - Mrs Anne

This is a little State park. You can park a long 5th wheel or trailer using one of the spots parallel to the campground road. Or there are many back-in and tents spots too. We were right across from the restrooms in Spot #8 with a small tree for some shade from the hot western sun in August. My wife thought Spot #10 was the best for shade and convenient, handicap-accessible access to the showers and restrooms. It was really hot until the sun went down, then it cooled off and was beautiful being outside! Big skies over Winslow with distant trains in the night. Awesome! The ruins are fun to check out also. Fire rings and BBQ grills too. The park was probably 10-15% full when we were there, but they are laid out nicely so there's no one on top of you. - SLOman
Jul 2016 - $25.00
Resonably priced. Spacious sites. W/E only, but a dump station. If you want a peaceful desert site for star gazing, this is your place. Close to Winslow where you can stand on the corner. - fyrmnjim
Jul 2016 - $25.00
Nice level pull through spot. Had power and water at the site and the sewer dump was easy to access on the way out. The park is very clean and was very quiet. Be sure to check the site map if you need pull through parking, as there aren't very many! - Aerocraftsman

Full hookups and internet worked fine. There are no restrooms or showers. I wouldn't have used them if they were available. Check-in at the hotel. Staff was pleasant and check-in was easy. Most campers were semi-permanent folks who worked in the area. Positives: Price is right for a quick overnight in a drive-thru site and internet worked well (possibly because our site was near the hotel), sites were mostly level. Negatives: dog feces isn't picked up, train tracks are behind Park, it's a parking lot. - Dave RVer
Mar 2014 - $18.00
Nothing fancy about this park, but fairly functional for an overnight stay. The owner is a friendly fellow who enjoys coming around for conversation. A small park with many long term campers, the sites are large enough for big rigs although you'll be parking on the patio. The water hookup was recessed into the ground and the spigot was covered by dirty water, so we didn't hook up, but the 50 amp power was good. Free cable TV with limited channels. No Wi-Fi, but Verizon cell voice and data were good. There's nothing to see or do in Joseph City, but for a quick overnight it's as good as any. - Meanderman
Nov 2013 - $18.00
Great one-nighter -- cheap and cheerful. We needed a place between the south rim of the Grand Canyon and Santa Fe after a day at the Canyon. It is a good stop right off the highway and easy in and out. The people were nice and they had everything for 18 dollars. We got local channels to watch football, stayed hooked up with a pull-through site and then left the next morning out the back and further down the highway. Verizon and TV worked well. Small sites but our three slides went out fine. Level gravel type sites, not a lot of traffic or others there but a few. Can't beat the price if you are in need of a layover. It was actually on old route 66. Nothing else in the town. - FrancisandRenee

The new owners of this park are trying very hard to get it up to par but they have a ways to go. It looks like they have some pull through sites; ours was a back in and there was not much room between sites. The restroom/shower was a small building that only had one toilet and one shower. The electric was good as was the water quality. Also had FHU. The wifi was so sketchy as to be non-existent (and no cable). I could hardly get any wifi signals on my jetpack and phone was sketchy as well. There was no rec hall or any other amenities. The dog park they furnished was real small, but I walked up the "primitive road" and was able to let the dogs loose there. The new owners are very nice and helpful. They also have a nice patio area with tables and chairs and sell petrified wood pieces. - Kerch Family
Aug 2016 - $19.00
Was ok for an overnight stay. Very nice people and the price was right for full hook ups. Shower was unusable. It was old and looked like there might be snakes or at least spiders and only one. Lots of ants around the dirt campsites. Bathroom in clubhouse was clean. Probably wouldn't stay there again or for more than 1 night. - Sandygranny
Aug 2016 - $20.00
We stayed here when it was Root 66 about a year ago. At the time the owners said the place was up for sale. In that year, the place sold. The new owners are a young, energetic, and motivate married couple.
The place under this new ownership is so much cleaner and you can see the hard work they've done to make the place more than just a stop on your way to somewhere. The new owners are also trying to acquire an adjoining property to expand the park. In other words, they are dead serious about making this RV park a place to stay for more than the one or two nights. And what a pleasant couple they are to deal with.
Yes, we highly recommend this park.
Easy off/easy on I-40 regardless the direction you're traveling. Full hook-ups, and a dump station, if you need it.
Excellent for pets and kids as they have a dog area and playground, respectively. I can't comment on the WiFi, cable, or showers as we are self-contained and usually don't require any park amenities.
I wish this couple the very best, and continued success with the RV park. - R_R PRanger

Employee at desk was nice and helpful. Wifi was real weak and unable to use.
Attempted to make online reservations and stated unavailable. I called and they had plenty of spots available. Great dog run. Clean restrooms. Would definitely stay here again. - Campground Review
Jul 2016 - $41.00
Level site (didn't have to unhitch). A fairly secure area. The utilities ok, satellite reception ok. Site roughly 65 x 30, gravel and dirt. Great location, easy off and on to I-40. - Kid911
Jul 2016 - $43.00
Staff was easy to work with. Sites are gravel. Cable and wifi worked good. Good location to visit Petrified Forest and Painted Desert Natl Park. Not much else going on in Holbrook. You only really need 2 nights, but we stayed 3 to hang out and relax a day and use the pool. We would stay here again. - RV Gypsy

Entire parking area is a little sloped. Few trees, good satellite, good electric. Close to freeway exit and easy in/out. Would stop again. - Bells

Probably the best park we've stayed at for the last 3 weeks. Long, level pull through sites. Good cable and wifi. Friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again. - arkietraveler

This is basically just a gravel parking lot as so many of the Arizona RV parks are. Long and very narrow. Utilities are fine and serves well as an overnight stop. - Steve & Terri

I was testing the search.php functionality on a theme I am hacking.
In The Loop it calls the_category() to list the categories that a post is published under e.g. "Published in Cat1, Cat2 etc"
As pages do not have categories I am calling going through get_the_category() to count the categories. If not zero then I display "Published in" and call the_category().
For one page get_the_category() says it is in the "Uncategorized" category but the_category() does not display anything.
My pseudo code inside The Loop:
$category_count = 0;
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { $category_count++; }
if ($category_count) { ?>
| Published in
<?php the_category(', ');
} ?>
PS If there is a way to determine whether the item in the loop is a post or a page then I could skip the get_the_category() check. I didn't see any functions for this in the Template Tags codex page.

Then, you will head for the magnificent palace, Monte dei Paschi Bank, which was founded in 1472 and is the oldest bank in Europe.From there, visit nearby Piazza del Campo, the unrivalled center of vivid city life. Here, your guide explains the Palio, Siena's breathtaking bareback horse race. With a stop at the Chigi-Saracini Palace, you finally reach the Duomo, with its marble pavement made with a startling sequence of 56 marble panels. After some free time in Siena your tour continues to San Gimignano. The town's 14 remaining towers visible from a distance, makes the town a remarkabe sight. It is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Tuscany. You will have time to explore on your own. Walk through the wonderfully preserved town square at the Piazza della Cisterna and visit the 13th century town hall - the Palazzo del Popolo. There are great views from the Rocca citadel and the entire town is an excellent place to stroll and soak up the atmosphere.

2001 Chevrolet Venture Minivan LS 4dr Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
I love the fact that the van gets great gas mileage for a large vehicle 28.5 mpg on avg. Now for the bad it stays in the shop more than on the road, in 8 months I have had to have a new trany, new head gaskets. I have also had to have numerous other small things fixed.
great mpg, great ride comfort, interior space
better build quality and better engineering
I bought the van with 140K on it - salesperson vehicle. No big deal I thought! Ha! Head gastket went in first month (covered under the extended warranty I purchased). A/C didn't work, replaced 3 wheel bearings at $680 each, struts $777, engine light on almost all the time - various things replaced, blower system didn't work - wouldn't switch from one position to another $1000, then wouldn't work in position 1,2 $300. I added it up on Christmas day night and in 2 1/2 yrs I've spent now $7300.00 in repairs! It has been such a HUGE disappointment. I've always been a GM person but no more. Oh ya, gas gauge doesn't work AGAIN - this is the third time and it is a $700 fix!
Comfortable seats for long drives, love the overhead computer showing outside temp, compas, etc. Very comfortable to drive - feels like a car.
Reliabilty is very poor - needs improvements in all areas listed above. Also it really needs rear heat/air - the blower is not powerful enough to push it back to the very back.
Great vehicle for family. Handles like a car and good gas economy. Not too sure about the auto-daylights running all the time.
Exterior design and interior space. Smooth suspension and engine is somewhat quite after acceleration.
A bolder more masculine exterior: chrome muffler tips, scoop on hood, bolder gadgets, chrome trimings on inside, Lazy Boy chair as driver seat and refined interior: seating, cabin space & gadgets. More HP and better gas mileage.

The 'Agropolitan' approach to development for the Philippines
Architect Felinio Palafox Jr. recognized as Fellow in real estate management.
Ultimately, the agropolitan approach will discourage rural-urban migration through the dispersal of development in regions outside Metro Manila. Creating and opening urban growth centers outside the metropolis will help largely in decongesting it. It will also prevent people from leaving their hometowns to look for that very elusive "greener pasture."
By Felino A. Palafox, Jr.
Manila Times
November 4, 2015
The urban farming concept should be embraced by Metro Manila if it intends to improve its food resiliency efforts, especially if drought in the agricultural areas occurs. Homes and buildings can very much adopt this. Certain vegetables and fruits such as kangkong, a variety of tomato, eggplant, cabbage, and maybe even garlic, among others, can be grown locally in the community. In working with the urban poor, the indigenous people, and survivors of natural calamities, among others, Palafox Associates and Palafox Architecture Group have incorporated the concept of growing your own food in the design of affordable housing.

Urban Quail Raising in Quezon City, Philippines
Attendees of the recent Agri-Kapihan at the Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City observe the quails that are being raised in a double deck module especially designed for raising quails in the urban areas.
One advantage of raising quails in the urban area is that it occupies very little space. The capital needed is also very modest and the gestation period is short. In 35 days after hatching, the birds will start to lay eggs.
by Zac Sarian
Manilla Bulletin
October 30, 2015
Only a modest capital is needed to start a quail raising project in the city. The cost of the cage, the birds (it could be ready-to-lay birds), feeds and miscellaneous expenses could amount to just P3,450. The amount can be recovered in just several months.
Usually the cost of producing a quail egg is about 80 centavos, according to Jeffrey. The market price ex-farm is P1.25 apiece. So there is a 45-centavo margin per egg.

"When I started the program, the problem was the mind-set that farming isn't compatible in the city. It's all in the mind-set. You can do vertical garden or start with small containers," said Ms. Belmonte

The city currently has 68 farms of various sizes found in barangays, public elementary schools, daycare centers, parishes, and nongovernment organizations. The city works with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture, which provide financial grants.
But even if city farmers fail to bring their items to market, urban farming is still a win-win situation.

Aquaponics is a relatively new technology, and BKO is on the forefront of implementing it. In order to create successful prototypes, Enzo conducted research with the Filipino Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. Enzo has taken this knowledge to work in the Metro Manila area educating communities on urban agriculture, and is actively presenting his work with urban agriculture at sustainability conventions.
"Our mission is to spread the technology as far and wide as we can, building farms in places that need it most, for people that do not have regular access to healthy food," said Enzo.

Philippines: Urban Container Gardening hopes to boost food security in urban areas

Urban Container Gardening is an initiative that hopes to help boost food security in the country.

Jan 14, 2014
For 43-year old Helen Camacho of Purok 13, Barangay Tibungco, Davao City, it is an income-generating hobby. "I started off with only 20 seedlings of chinese cabbages. I, also, go to the nearby cemetery to gather and recycle tetra packs," shared Helen.
From 20 pechay seedlings, Helen now has over 70 pechay seedlings along with other crops that she cultivates in their house. To make soil containers, Helen personally sews the tetra packs that she gathered from the cemetery. She even forges her own makeshift racks. "Urban Container Gardening is a huge help. I will really strive to improve my garden more", said Helen excitedly.

Urban Aquaponic Farming in the Philippines
Metro Manila – Bahay Kubo Organics
By Enzo Pinga, Ryan Aguas, Maximillian Pascual
Team Bahay Kubo Organics hopes to bring communities together at the center of the growing and selling process by empowering them with urban aquaponic farming.
Bahay Kubo Organics seeks to provide solutions for environmental degradation. This project is particularly concerned with environmental degradation caused by waste by-products from traditional farming. Other problems this project seeks to address are the disruption of food supplies from weather volatility, lack of nutrition, and limited livelihood opportunities for communities. It proposes the use of an aquaponics farming system, and hopefully bring communities together at the center of the growing and selling processes.

Department of Agriculture urges metro residents to do urban gardening to address insufficient supply of veggies in Central Visayas, Philippines
Cebu's population is always on the rise while only three percent of its total lands are classified as agricultural lands.
By Fayette C. Rien
Philippine Information Agency
6th of March 2012
CEBU CITY, March 6 (PIA) — Agriculture officials here urged metro residents to do urban gardening and plant vegetables in their backyard or in plain pots to address the insufficient supply of high-value crops in the region.
Jorge Paculba, chief of the crops division of the Department of Agriculture (DA) 7 said the region is only about 56 percent sufficient in vegetables or high-value crops and that most of our supply is imported from other regions.
"A rising population sparking greater demand for vegetables and the existing 89 hotels plus pension houses and 116 restaurants in Cebu make it hard to achieve self-sufficiency in high-value crops," Paculba declared.

There are a lot of other vacant spaces in the 130-hectare subdivision all waiting to be found by urban farmers.
"I heard lately that the city government is interested in developing similar community gardens," Reyes said.
For this season, the Luxemburg farmers plant mustard, coriander and Chinese pechay in four vacant lots, ranging in area from 500-2,000 square meters.

Urban agriculture: Growing crops in the city
By Henrylito D. Tacio
Sun.Star Davao – source of Philippine community news
March 14, 2010
Farming is always associated with rural areas, rivers and mountains.
Unknowingly, farming can also be done right in the city. Experts call this practice as urban agriculture.
"Urban agriculture refers not merely to the growing of food crops and fruit trees but that it also encompasses the raising of animals, poultry, fish, bees, rabbits, guinea pigs, or other livestock considered edible locally," explains Dr. Irene Tinker, an American professor in the department of city and regional planning at the University of California.

September 1, 2009
The Aquinas University of Legazpi (AUL) has implemented a project dubbed "Urban Agriculture through the High-Value Commercial Crops Techno-Demo Farm" within its expansive campus here.
The project features 60-square-meter greenhouse where vegetables highly sensitive to rain and changes in temperature like broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower and honeydew melon are being propagated.
Gardens for more hardy vegetables such as squash, eggplant and watermelon were also established in an open area of 1,000 square meters whose perimeters were planted to rootcrops like ubi and sweet potato.

Urban Agriculture in Naga City, Philippines – Cultivating Sustainable Livelihoods
Planning Report for Naga City Council June 2007
Kathryn Hill, Department of Geography, UBC
Dee Dee Quinnelly, School of Community and Regional Planning, UBC
Kaitlin Kazmierowski, School of Community and Regional Planning, UBC
Naga is a mid-size city of 150,000 residents in Bicol region, central Philippines. It is internationally and nationally renowned as among the 'best practices' in good local governance in the Philippines and in the developing world.
Naga City currently sits in an interesting position with regards to local UA (urban agriculture) practices. Despite being enclosed by rich agricultural lands, encroaching development and social stigmatization of farmers pose serious threats to the future of local agriculture in the city.

Philippines – Residents in poor areas in Manila plant vegetables in their backyards to save on food expenses
By Michaela Cabrera, Reuters, May 28, 2008 – With prices of food items reaching record-highs in Philippines, residents in poor areas in Manila plant vegetables in their backyards to save on food expenses and harvest enough to sell at a local market. See video story here.
For green thumbs living in Manila, urban farming is the answer to soaring food prices. It may seem impossible to grow lettuce and eggplant in a crowded, humid environment, but city living has not stopped farmers like Bernabe Atenta from cultivating greens. He and his wife Virgie literally pick out their lunch from their backyard.
"This helps a lot, in securing your family's welfare. You don't need to buy vegetables in the market. If all people here in Manila planted vegetables even in pots, it will ease some expenses," Atenta said.
