The Great Pellets vs. Seeds Debate
If you're looking into purchasing a parrot, you might look to an experienced friend for some advice. Be aware, however, that there's plenty of misinformation out there regarding a parrot's dietary needs. Some people swear by a diet of seeds alone because, they say, that's what the birds would eat in the wild. Unfortunately, that viewpoint fails to consider a parrot's natural desire and physiological need for variety.
A well-balanced diet will mix and match parrot seed with pellets, fruit and maybe even a cracker or two. Establishing a diverse meal plan will actually help to prolong a parrot's life while also improving plumage color and feather condition. A healthy parrot is a friendly and active one, so be sure to vary the diet immediately if you bird seems sullen or withdrawn.
Importance of Organic Bird Food
When it comes to feeding our birds, it's important to know that the food birds are receiving is safe and nutritious. There have been a wave of pet food contamination suits in the last decade, and owners want to know that the food their pet is receiving is from natural sources. Birds need a nutritious and balanced diet to remain healthy. Birds that are unhealthy can be more vulnerable to harmful bacteria and parasites, and can start to lose their feathers as other health problems manifest. When purchasing organic bird food, owners can rest assured that their birds are being fed nutritious and all-natural food. While organic food can be a little more expensive than regular bird food, the peace of mind gained is more than worth the extra cost.
Birds that receive proper nutrition and care can live for decades, and some birds can even live to be more than a hundred years old! With the right organic bird food and lots of loving care, a bird can be their owner's best friend for their entire life.

Yesterday I worked for many hours assembling my images in preliminary sequence. I went through the tutorial again (Grandpa's Skateboard movie is a real thriller) and then used Help to figure out what I didn't get. It isn't that I am so fabulous at this, but Moviemaker is really limited in what it can do. Image credits are piling up as I grab Google images for this and that. I am worried that the image sequencing and transitions might stretch out the timing.
I also found out that I cannot save PPT animations on titles as a movie (I will check on Office 2007), which I don't have at home, but I do have the titles done already, and hopefully they look OK even without animation. I saved them as jpeg files.
I recorded the narration and learned how to edit it in Audacity (if I can do it, you can!), but having figured out that the timing works, I need to re-record it because I think the delivery is flat. It might help to stand up as if speaking before a group. I will try to do this early one morning next week, and then edit the recording again. Then again, I don't know whether it is smarter to time the visual flow first, and then sychronize the narration to it, or the opposite. Any advice is appreciated.

DALLAS - Six years after entering the NFL as the third player drafted, Vince Young finds himself without a team and with a fraction of the money he received from a contract that guaranteed him $26 million.
In an increasingly caustic war of words, attorneys have been arguing for months over whether Young is an out-of-control spender who put himself deeply in the hole or simply a victim of inexperienced advisers, one of whom was his own uncle.
Either way, the quarterback whose future seemed unlimited after he led Texas to a Rose Bowl victory in 2006 is now back home in Houston and in a tenuous financial condition.

Blessing the Darkness
Pilgrims with a bounteous spread. That's what we think of and imitate at Thanksgiving when we gather people around us and feast and give thanks. It's delightful, and gratitude comes easy on that day.
But how do we really put that into practice every day? Think about this: The pilgrims were ill and malnourished. They'd had a harsh first winter. Only about half of the Mayflower's original passengers lived to see that first spring. But they had learned to plant corn, and after a successful harvest in 1621, they celebrated and gave thanks for what they did have.
Even when life is hard—and it often is—true happiness comes when we are grateful for the good parts.
The late Cavett Robert, a popular motivational speaker and the founder of the National Speakers Association, used to tell of a poignant experience that taught him this very thing.
He was running late after a speaking engagement in New Orleans. The meeting had run overtime, jeopardizing Cavett's chances of catching his flight home. He completed his speech in the grand ballroom of the Fairmont Hotel, then rushed through the convention center and ran to catch the next elevator going down to the ground level.
Once on the elevator, he tapped the "G" button repeatedly, hoping it would hurry the process of closing the doors. As soon as it began its descent, he checked his watch. He could still make his flight if there were no delays with the elevator or the taxi. Just when he thought his luck was going to hold, he felt the elevator slowing for the third floor.
The doors opened, and no one was there. Hurry up! he thought to himself. Hearing someone coming, he impatiently called out, "Hurry—elevator going down!" Then he saw the red tip of a white cane tap-tap into the doorway.
"I'm sorry; I'll be right there," came a humble response. Cavett was crushed with humiliation. As the doors closed, not knowing how to handle the hollow silence, he asked, "Well, how are you today, sir?" His voice was now shaky and embarrassed. The reply came like a heavy blow to his soul: "Grateful, my friend. Grateful."
Cavett Robert, the great teacher and motivator, was humbled to the dust. Suddenly missing an elevator, a taxi, or even a flight seemed trivial. He would later state, "While in my rude haste I was so caught up in my self-gratification and not an attitude of gratitude that I found myself cursing the light as this gentle man was blessing the darkness."
He said he was never the same after that experience. In his prayers he asked for help to always realize how important a grateful attitude is in life.
Happy Thanksgiving. May this week be a time for true reflection. Count your blessings. Even if you already know what you're grateful for, try to find just one more thing. We all have room for more happiness.
I Can Make It Better
Recently our family took a trip out to sunny California for a much-needed vacation. We visited the Magic Kingdom. It really is magical; even though I'm like forty-something, I still love those rides.
As we were getting close to the park, I heard one of my kids say, "I wonder what Dad's gonna pull off this time. Last time he scored us some fast passes when they were all out."
Talk about pressure. After all, what's so bad about waiting in line for a few minutes?
After a day at Disney, we hopped over to California Adventure to check out Radiator Springs Racers. But when we got there, the wait in line was 90 minutes long. Are you kidding me? Holy DMV! Who waits in line for 90 minutes for a four-minute ride? Everyone, apparently.
Needless to say, we hit the road looking for shorter lines and had great success. But deep down we all wanted to ride those shiny red, blue, and yellow cars together. Only now the information desk displayed a 120-minute wait and no fast passes.
As my family walked past, I secretly walked over to the desk and said, "It would be so magical if you could find a few more fast passes for the Racers."
The girl smiled and said, "I wish we could, but we are completely out. Your best chance for fast passes on that ride would be at the ride entrance." So I told my family to go ahead to the next adventure and I would catch up.
I bee-lined it over to the Racers line once again with complete confidence that the gate keeper could spare a few fast passes. I walked up to the girl with the biggest smile and asked if she would spare some fast passes for my family. She kept smiling and said, "I'm sorry, we're all out. I wish I could say yes, but no."
Based on the crazy-long line, I believed her and started to walk away. But after a few steps I turned around and, said, "Will you tell me who could say yes?" Then that big smile came back on her face and she said, "The guest service desk near the front entrance."
Some time had gone by since I had ditched my family, so I ran all the way back to the entrance area. When I got there, my face must have looked pretty flushed. The nice lady at the desk took one look at me and said, "Whatever it is, I can make it better."
While catching my breath, I whispered, "Racers."
"I'll be right back," she said.
Moments later she returned and handed me enough passes for the whole family.
The Racer ride really was incredible. Here's a video of it (not mine; just one from YouTube).
Here are some clues to think about.
How many times did I go for no? Three.
Then I practiced something I learned from my friend Don Ward: Never take no from someone who doesn't have the power to say yes.
Are you smarter than a 5 year old?
Several years ago I taught a Sunday school class of five year olds. One day I asked a question, and the response from most of the kids was "I don't know," or something like it. But one little girl paused and said, "Let me think what I know."
I was struck by her answer because (more…)
Ask Yourself
When you're not seeing eye to eye with someone, or if you see someone handle a situation in a way that you never would think to handle it, you might find yourself wondering, What is their problem? If you're sincerely asking yourself that question, you are on the right track.
What were you thinking?
What Were You Thinking?
Last week after a business meeting I hopped into my car to head to my next appointment. The phone rang. It was my wife. She told me that our 16-year-old son had just been in a car accident. I quickly asked, "Is he OK?" She said yes. I asked, "Was anyone hurt?" She said no.
After a sigh of relief, I asked what most any insurance premium-paying father would ask: "How bad is it?" She said he had hit the curb so hard that the rear wheel came completely off.
Well, I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but (more…)

Many of the candidates for Santa Clarita City Council have praised the past successes of the city over the course of the campaign.
But where they differ is whether previous experience or a fresh pair of eyes would better serve the city moving forward.
All 13 candidates for the three seats up for grabs in the April 8 City Council election outlined their qualifications for office to an audience made up of around 45 Signal subscribers during a candidate forum Thursday night at The Signal offices.
The two incumbents running for re-election — Mayor Laurene Weste and Councilwoman Marsha McLean — said their years of council experience make them suited to continue serving.
"Our city is a great place to be," Weste said. "And our city has stayed that way because we have fought together to preserve what makes it great."
McLean said experience is necessary to address the city's future challenges.
"Anyone can identify the issues," she said. "But it takes someone with experience and expertise to get positive results."
Other candidates pointed to their past business successes as a reason they would be effective.
Maria Gutzeit, a Newhall County Water District board member, said her background in politics and business gives her the necessary experience to serve on the City Council.
Gutzeit also said it is important to acknowledge future issues as well as past successes.
"We can't move forward if we're looking backward," she said.
Dante Acosta, a local businessman and former Congressional candidate, also pointed to his business experience as a reason he would make a good councilman, saying it would help in his push to aid economic development in the city.
Another business owner, Moazzem Chowdhury, said he would work cooperatively with citizens to address the city's issues.
"Together, let's make the city of Santa Clarita the best city to live in," Chowdhury said.
Another candidate, Dennis Conn, said he thinks the city would benefit from an increase in tourism activity.
Other candidates said their previous political experience and community involvement would serve them well, if elected.
Gloria Mercado-Fortine said serving as a board member in the William S. Hart Union High School District has given her the experience necessary to be on the council.
"I would bring that experience, leadership and energy to the City Council," Mercado-Fortine said.
Berta Gonzalez-Harper, a longtime Canyon Country resident, pointed to her years of active community involvement and said her grassroots campaign effort shows she is putting her money where her mouth is.
"This community is where I want to serve," she said.
Duane Harte, a member of the city Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission, also discussed his service throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.
"Today we have a good city," he said. "I want to keep working to make it a great city."
Alan Ferdman, chairman of the Canyon Country Advisory Committee, said his years of community involvement have given him the expertise necessary to serve on the council.
"Together we will make a difference," he told the crowd.
Other candidates touted their status as political outsiders.
Sandra Bull said she would bring a fresh pair of eyes to lead the city.
"I would like to bring that perspective to the City Council," she said.
Two other candidates, Paul Wieczorek and Stephen Daniels, echoed the sentiment.
"Just like computers and phones, city councils need to be updated to keep with the times," Wieczorek said.
Daniels said he thinks some new blood is necessary on the council.
"I believe the current City Council has lost touch with the average resident," Daniels said. "I would like to restore that."

Are TouchPad 3.0 and WebOS 2.0 engines different aren't they running on the same webkit engines ?
Owner of an HP TouchPad (32GB) and a brand new Palm Pre 3 (16GB) for VZ wireless.
|#24 (permalink)
I have to admit I have totally given up using my Pre2 for the web.
It's pathetically outclassed even by a cheap current Android.
I would say to anyone considering buying any Pre/WebOS phone, do so only out of curiosity. Then toss it in the drawer and forget about it.
Do not consider it your primary phone.
I still use mine as my primary but thats because I cant justify the cost of a new phone (and I want a decent one). I have even deleted most of the apps I installed as I just don't use them.
It's okay just as a phone and for texting but even then the phones wireless capabilities for calls is pretty weak.
After 18 months of ownership I would say nice but flawed and no surprise that it got left behind.

For what I need to do it's perfect and it feels good in my hand.
PS. I have friend who tried to sell me a barely used evo. You may be interested. $100 USD

By the way, although I have pointed out some flaws with the webos browser, I am not saying its unusable.
I use it every day and there is nothing, I mean NOTHING that comes close to the satisfaction of web browsing with a webos phone when you bring stacks into the picture. And I use all the latest phones daily (except windows)
I read a lot of forums and its just more efficient to use a webos phone popping off the threads I want to follow in a new card and have them stacked together. Ditto for google search
We have some very talented developers like dkirker working on some improvements and we should support them with donations and buying their apps.
I understand that some may want a bigger screen and 4g speed, and they should move on to something that suits them better.
|#27 (permalink)
With regards to ease of web use on say a Pre2 or lets say a current top tier Android phone I could not disagree more.
Having to look at the web on Pre2 is like looking at it through a keyhole. Painful. All the gestures and swiping in the world isn't going to help the first fundamental flaw the Pre2 has with web use - Looking at it.
If you want to use the web and still use gestures then get a Playbook. It stomps on the Pre as a web device from orbit.
|#28 (permalink)
Anyways I am sure the OP is aware of the screen size and wants to experience what webos is like. So let him try it, it's not like he or she is not aware of the giant phones out there, they just don't run webos.
|#29 (permalink)
I didn't buy the Pre2 primarily for web use, just the occasional frustrating glimpse if on the move.
Primarily I wanted it for email on the go and a few other things which it did admirably.
Plus as hardly no one bought one in the UK, it was really cheap!
However, in the time since the Pre2 came out mobile web has moved on and it just fails as a easily usable internet device IMO. It was adequate back then but now....nope. Sometimes if I'm out with my Gf and we need to look something up we used to try to see how quick each of us could do it on our phones. She has a Galaxy Note.
Often she had the info ready and done before I had loaded the header bar on my Pre2. Then trying to navigate a large page of dense info...forget it. I would put the Pre2 back in my pocket. The browser doesn't cut it anymore let alone the punishing screen size.
However, if you feel different then by all means carry on zooming and waiting...and zooming and waiting and zooming.......
WebOS was great, maybe even the best phone OS ever. But it failed. I'll say it again...it failed. I just don't believe sitting in denial about it helps.

I'd personally keep 4s.
If you must go to webOS, go for Pre3, not Pre2.
But as others have said, there's practically zero apps.
I moved on to Android and not having to worry about apps (or lack of) is great. it's so automatic - if there's an app being developed, it will for sure be released on iphone and android.
That being said, if/when webOS comes back and is ready for primetime, I'll happily switch back. I do miss it. We all know that it's the best OS out there.

I love my Pre2, but it's not a love without its flaws.
If you come from an ecosystem full of apps and relatively few bugs (like iOS) then webOS will not be the best thing.
The OS is great, fun and I'm still not bored by it.
I sometimes envy the apps of Android and iOS (although I'm not an app freak, but webOS really has very few good ones), their nice screens and the smoothness of iOS (in Android this happens only in expensive phones)
I like the webOS calendar, I like the mail client, I like my twitter client, I don't like the browser (but you can get used to it). I love the Foursquare app, we now have WhatsApp, the messaging is cool. I use it as an everyday tool and I'm happy with it.
I learned to live with its flaws and I still love its good things.
I'll be probably moving in other OSes in 2013 as I'll get in my 3rd year with the Pre2 however I still don't know where to go. WPs are still not good, I detest Apple and I don't like the huge Android phones. Maybe BB10? Who knows. But webOS will still be in my heart.

Having used the SGS3 for about 3 months now, your argument with using the browser and stacks being easier, I really can't agree with that. It's actually as easy or easier to flip around between 16 open Web pages in either the stock browser or Chrome. I've included a screenshot so you can see what it looks like. In the process of doing this, I've discovered I can add attachments to my post.... right now.. directly from my phone, something I could only do from any webOS phone IF I uploaded it to say Photobucket, then copied the IMG code and then came back and pasted into this block of text. That was a bit of work, whereas here it's like I'm using my desktop.
I can also switch pages just by swiping left to right, or right to left.... Similar to Advanced Gestures.
3 months with this "BIG" phone, I could go even bigger now to be honest. I use this phone quite often with one hand, unless I'm in a typing frenzy... I quite often used two hands with all my Pres, so I don't feel like I'm using two hands, when I do, because the phone is too big.... It's just how I've always typed.

And we can stop comparing them to traditional phones. Palm was betting that there was still people who wanted a phone that can do some browsing and and Ruby said as much when they introduced the veer. But it looks like the trend is toward mini tablets that also can be used as a phone.
So can we please stop with the pre bashing because of its size, it is what it is. Its like getting a new truck and all of a sudden cars are useless. Some people still like cars, some have both.
So the OP wants to check out this webos business, let him do it. I recommend the pre2 because its cheaper than the pre3 and not as small as the veer hence closer to the iphone S he is used to.
I prefer stacks to any thing I have seen on any phone. As for advanced gestures, I seldom use it because I an never sure which way to go. But when it really shines is like when I am on a phone call for example and have to refer to something else say some notes in my contacts and such
I really enjoy these discussions, reminds me of the old days. Something to do instead of gloom and doom all the time

No they are not out of date. They still do most of things you need.
And please stop thinking that your needs is everyone's needs. A decent web experience comes with a netbook or a tablet. That's 7'' at least (although 7'' is just not good for me). People fool themselves in trying to say "Yeah, my Note is perfect". No it's not. It's better than a small Pre, an iPhone and a SGI, II, III. Still the screen is tiny compared to your laptop and PC.
There is a trend for people to get devices with larger screens. OK I get it. The bigger, the better. So what will be the limit? iPhone users kept saying that 3.8" is perfect and that what Steve said.
But then the Android guys came and said, OK we have 4'' is perfect.
Then 4.3" became the golden standard. Now we have 4,6-4,8" and monstrosities like the Note.
So what next? Maybe tether my Touchpad to my Pre2 and tie it around my head so I can make my calls from there?
Each person has its needs. For me (for example) my need is to have a phone that notifies me about everything and is easy to carry around. I can post in FB, tweet etc, I'd never dream of using Office like applications in a touchscreen. I'll go to my PC or laptop to do this.
Unfortunately the trends now will make me get another phone which will be at least 4''.
For you maybe 4.5'' is what you need. It would be good if there were choices for everyone. Unfortunately the manufacturers think that their huge phones should have the best specs.

But you have to realize that not everyone needs all that stuff you are talking about. I can see Sledge being in love with that type of device because I believe he uses it for business and the bigger the better for him. Me I prefer to do the things I do the most with a webos phone. I use a phone and a laptop for heavy lifting, I have a touchpad which is mostly used to play music and as an alarm clock even tho I always install the latest lunaCE build.
By the way I found another bug with my pre2. I tried to view Sledge's attachment above and all I got is a big X. I guess it doesn't like png files. Bet if it was one of the new phones I wouldn't have that problem, but I can deal with it.
The real gorilla to me is not size but 4G/LTE
|#38 (permalink)
I just clicked on the image and it appeared on my desktop. Try it again, might have been a temporary glitch. For the record, I was NOT bashing the size of the Pre If it works for you, great! I think all I was trying to get at was, it did feel big at first, but having adjusted over the last few months, I'm pretty comfortable with one-handed use, as well as simple things like making phone calls. It doesn't feel too big for me anymore, other people's phones look too small to me now, that's all
You bring up another excellent point. LTE is absolutely fantastic...I average 30Mbps although I have peaked just under 50. I could never use a non-LTE phone again, I don't care what anyone tells you. In the city here, we have excellent coverage, but quite often I am being sent out of the city, even to areas with ZERO coverage (that happens when you live next to the Rocky Mountains), and so I am forced (kicking and screaming) to switch over to HSPA+ and it is very, very slow in comparison.
It is a personal phone, not a business phone, fyi...although there are several things I do use my phone for work. Simple things that I could use a Pre3 for, and some that I wouldn't be able to use my Pre3.
Calculator, GPS (which I use mostly for estimating when I'm going to be somewhere, or finding out traffic problems) I actually use a third party app called CoPilot GPS, as it is non-carrier signal dependant. Having a camera that opens almost instantly is really nice as well, and probably the biggest thing I truly like about this phone. Along with all the photo editing options. An app called Voxer is another thing I use quite frequently that isn't available for webOS, (nothing similar either) It's a push-to-talk app. I use it just about as often as I text, for both at work and not.
Another use I'm "hoping" to get out of it is the WiSpi Controller app. I have the app pre-downloaded and I've mentioned it SEVERAL times to those that need it to be mentioned to that "I HAVE BEEN A GOOD BOY ALL YEAR AND I want a WiSpi Chopper for Christmas!" (Available at The Source) Feel free to PM me if you need my address

I use a Veer everyday. I understand it isn't for everyone with its 2.6" screen.
It's a phone. I use it for communications. I make calls, send SMS text. I need a physical QWERTY. No, a giant slab phone VKB is not the same - real estate be hanged. I've used VKB on a 10" tablet and, you know what, it still does not work for me. I didn't say want a physical QWERTY, I said need. I meant it and know whereof I speak from real life trial and error. VKB absolutely ruins any user experience for me if I need to input more than 10 characters at a time.
On a 2.6" screen I can look up facts on Google. I send and receive eMails. I can browse posts on a forum. I can shop and compare prices. I can look up directions on Google Maps (mad props to 72ka there... what what). I can listen to music off the internal storage or streaming from the interwebz. I play an occasional game on it.
It is not a multimedia entertainment powerhouse - I have a TV, a streaming set top box, a game platform, a vhs/dvd player. I don't expect any of those to fulfill all the functions of the other ones. Devices are function specific. Insisting a phone replace all the above is unrealistic.
It's a phone. It's not a tablet, a netbook, a laptop, a PC... Demanding it function just as well as those in their specific arena of expertise isn't realistic either.
Not everyone wants a phone that is a tablet, a TV, a netbook, a streaming box, a laptop, a game platform, a PC and a vhs/dvd recorder-player...
Some people just want a phone.

Headers and footers are often used to provide information about a document on every page of that document. While they are most commonly used to add page numbers, they might also include a document title, author, company name, revision date, or other information. Footers are also sometimes used for privacy notices that warn readers that a document is confidential and can't be distributed. Word offers several ways to add headers, footers or both to documents. The quickest and easiest way is with the built-in headers and footers that you can find in the header footer area of the Document Elements Ribbon.
let's see what that looks like. So let's click Document Elements up here, and what we will see here is that we pulled down the Header menu we've got a list of all the built-in headers. Each of these buttons offers a preview of the header's formatting as well as clues to indicate the kind of information that will be included. What's really important to understand about this is that there are three kinds of headers in here. The ones labeled All Pages will appear on every page of the document. The ones labeled Even Page will appear only on even numbered pages of the documents.
And as you might guess, the ones labeled Odd Page will only appear in odd numbered pages of the document. When you choose one of the Even Page or Odd Page options, Word automatically configures your document for different headers and footers on even and odd pages. That means if you choose an even page header, you should also choose the corresponding odd page header, if you want a header on every page. Now let's see this in action. I'll choose Basic, which is one of the All Page headers. Word inserts a header at the top of the document and activates it on the current page.
It uses placeholders for me to type in text. I can click one of the Type text placeholders and enter the text I want to appear. So maybe I'll put in the document title, the company name, and the revision date. So I'll select the placeholder and type in what I want to appear and in the center I'll do the same thing for Two Trees, and on the side I'll put in the revision date. Once that text is typed in, I can format it like any other text. For example if I want it to appear in bold, I can select it and go back to the Home Ribbon, click the Bold button, and it turns bold.
Or since the header style is applied, I can just modify that style to change the appearance of the header. That's actually a better way to handle formatting. I'll tell you more about formatting text and working with styles in other chapters. Now if I scroll through the document, I can see that every page has the same header formatted the same way. So here it is on the second page and third page and so on. To deactivate the header area and return to the document, I can click the Close button up here in the header, or I could also just double-click anywhere in the document.
To activate the header, I could just double-click in the header, and the header has to be active to edit it. Now suppose I decide that I want to use the Edge header instead. So I'm going to pulldown that menu back in the Document Elements Ribbon, Header menu and I'm going to pick Edge (Even Page). Now at first it appears that the header doesn't change, but that's because we're looking at the odd header. Word has changed the document layout settings to make a different odd and even header. Since we didn't change the odd header, the original header we applied is still there. After all this is page 1. Page 1 is an odd page.
So if I scroll down here to page 2, which is the first even page, you'll see the header that we inserted. Let's add the corresponding odd page header. So I'll pull the Header menu again, and this time I'll pick Edge (Odd Page) and when I scroll back up to the top of the document to page 1, you'll see that that header is now inserted. If I scroll through the entire document, you'll see odd page, even page, odd page, even page, and so on, every page has a header. Footers work the same way, although there are fewer built in footers to choose from. So I'll display that menu, and you'll see a bunch of footers that we could use.
Let's try this Simple footer, which works on all pages. We can now go to any page of the document and type in the text we want to appear. Again, this is a placeholder so I could just select it and I could type in what I want to do. I'm going to put in the revision date since it's no longer in the header, and then when I scroll through the document, I'll see that that appears in this case only in every odd page because remember Word put in even and odd pages. So just because it inserted that footer on every page doesn't mean it entered information on every page.
You need to set that footer for the even and the odd pages. So I did the odd page. I could do the same thing here for the even page and now when I scroll through the document I'll see that they're the same on every page. Again that's an Even Page footer and an Odd Page footer. Because headers and footers use the header and footer styles, if you don't apply direct formatting to a header or footer, the style should be color coordinated with the rest of the document styles, and you can see that in action here for the footer.
Simple shows up in blue here, but if we look in our document and scroll down, it's not blue. It's the same color brownish red that the rest of the document uses. Again, you can learn more about styles and themes in another chapter. So as you can see, it's pretty easy to insert headers and footers in your document using the built-in headers and footers, but what if there isn't a built-in header or footer to meet your needs? In the next video, I explained how to add them manually.

The fall & rise of the famous European Rail Timetable...
Published since 1873, the European Rail Timetable is a remarkable book, and an essential companion for any serious train traveller to Europe. Originally the Thomas Cook European Timetable, in summer 2013 the Thomas Cook Group pulled the plug on their whole publications department, and the August 2013 edition was the last Thomas Cook Timetable they published, just months after celebrating 140 years of publication. However, fear not... The dedicated ex-Thomas Cook staff have put together a private venture to carry on publication, and it is now called simply the European rail Timetable. Their first edition came out in March 2014 and you can buy the latest monthly edition at www.europeanrailtimetable.eu for £15.99. Highly, highly recommended!
What does the European Rail Timetable contain?
Schematic maps of all major European rail & ferry routes, both international & within each country, see the sample map below;
Timetables for all major international routes in Europe, as far east as Istanbul, Moscow, St Petersburg & Kiev, as far west as Lisbon, as far south as Athens, Sicily, Gibraltar, see the example timetable below;
Timetables for all principal domestic train services in each European country;
Timetables and route maps for all ferry services serving Europe, including Baltic, English Channel, North Sea and Mediterranean;
It also includes train service in Asian Turkey and Asian Russia, including the Trans-Siberian Railway.
A complete index of all places covered in the timetables;
How to read the timetables, with an explanation of the symbols used;
Calendar & list of public holiday dates in each European country;
Time zone information;
Useful rail travel words & phrases in English, French, Spanish, Italian & German;
Basic city plans for some 34 European cities showing location of main stations & interchanges (see examples below);
Car-carrying (Motorail) train routes, departure dates & timetables;
Airport link information;
Is it worth buying one?
If you're only making one journey from A to B and back, well of course you can find the necessary train times online these days. But if you plan to make regular trips from the UK into mainland Europe several times a year, or are planning an extensive tour, then yes, it's definitely worth buying a copy. Having your own comprehensive timetable allows you to plan at leisure in your armchair at home, and when travelling it puts you in control of your own trip. It can save you hours in queues for station information desks or struggling with station timetables which show only the most basic information. It's published monthly, although as European timetables only change twice a year in June & December, you don't need to buy one every month. Just buying the June and December editions is sufficient for most travellers, although occasional updates and revisions happen in between. In fact, even a European Rail Timetable that's two years out of date is far better than travelling blind!
Buy online...
The last Thomas Cook editions have sold out.
The reborn European Timetable is available now for ordering online at www.europeanrailtimetable.eu
Example rail route map...
This is a typical rail route map shown in the European Rail Timetable. The numbers next to each rail line refer to the timetable for that route.
Example timetable...
Here's an example timetable. Don't worry, an explanation of how to read the timetables and of all the symbols is included at the front of the Timetable. Each column is one train, and you read downwards (although in some cases a solid black bar under on train saves space by allowing another to be shown further down the same column). Train number, train type, catering, and reference to any footnotes, are shown at the top of each column. As you can see, like the railways themselves, the European Rail Timetable always uses local place names, 'München' for Munich, 'Wien' for Vienna, 'Bucuresti' for Bucharest. You soon get used to this! A crossed knife and fork means restaurant car, a goblet symbol means buffet refreshments. '1-5' (the numbers in circles at the top of a column) means Mondays-Fridays, '6 7' means Saturdays & Sundays. Easy, really...
Example city maps...
It also includes simple but useful city maps showing stations and interchanges for some 34 European cities...

Dell's highly scalable solution improves business responsiveness for JM Financial Services
|Join the conversation.
#PowerEdge #EqualLogic
JM Financial Services Ltd, one of India's largest brokerage firms consolidated their infrastructure on Dell PowerEdge Servers with VMWare virtualization software and Dell EqualLogic storage solutions. This enabled JMFS to eliminate system downtime and ensure the high availability of their trading systems to secure continued customer loyalty.
To provide effective financial solutions and sustain a business model that caters to their clients' varied requirements, JMFS operates complex trading systems, connects to multiple stock exchanges, and provides real-time trading information to clients. The company required a scalable infrastructure that would meet the high-availability demands of their clients and eliminate frequent system downtime.
JMFS decided to consolidate the server infrastructure at the company's data center to optimize server utilization and deliver redundancy, both of which were essential in maximizing uptime for mission-critical applications. Their previous setup consisted of standalone legacy servers, and the challenge of maintaining multiple platforms was affecting efficiency. To achieve resource optimization, a reduced server footprint and high availability, they needed to consolidate their server infrastructure on a robust platform. They replaced their legacy servers with Dell's servers and reduced their server footprint by almost 88%.
In addition to virtualizing their data center, JMFS also deployed a Dell EqualLogic PS6000XV storage area network (SAN) solution to provide maximum uptime for their critical applications. The SAN supports a clustered environment of servers at JMFS and provides a highly scalable storage capacity that can expand on demand, crucial to the company's dynamic and rapidly changing business environment.
Dell was the chosen vendor for their scalability and level of support offered. Dell's support was direct, fast and reliable, which eased the burden on the company when issues needed to be resolved quickly. Additionally, the team of Dell engineers who customized and deployed the solution facilitated a comprehensive knowledge transfer process during implementation to ensure that the company's internal IT team was confident in maintaining the solution. Due to this JMFS was able to solve a majority of issues internally.
"We are able to respond to the needs of the business faster with the scalability offered by the Dell EqualLogic storage solution. We can easily provision capacity for a new project within 15 to 20 minutes, which could earlier take up to a month even before the equipment was ordered. Working with Dell has been a rewarding experience and we look forward to greater collaboration in the future." – Titus Gunaseelan, Head, Information Technology, JM Financial Services
"Dell's solutions have enabled JMFS to increase business responsiveness, eliminate system downtime, decrease energy consumption and reduce maintenance. Lack of legacy and ability to scale is our strong point." – Amit Luthra, National Manager, Storage Solutions Marketing, Dell

"The West must understand that, to Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country. Russian history began in what was called Kievan-Rus. The Russian religion spread from there. Ukraine has been part of Russia for centuries, and their histories were intertwined before then."
— Henry Kissinger, Washington Post, March 6, 2014
"Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire."
— Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard (1998)
Russia has taught the United States a stern and embarrassing lesson in Ukraine as a riposte to Washington-backed regime change in Kiev, the capital. "So far," Moscow in effect warned a thoroughly shocked Washington, "but no further." President Vladimir Putin then annexed Crimea.
Nothing quite like this move on the geopolitical chessboard has happened since the U.S. became the world's single superpower over two decades ago.
The objective of the Obama Administration's support for a coup to remove an essentially neutral Ukrainian government (though neighborly toward Russia) was to install a regime leaning toward—and economically dependent upon—the United States and the European Union. The purpose is to compromise Russia's revival as a regional power critical of U.S. policies.
The neutrality of the Kiev government, if not close ties, is exceptionally important to Moscow for its own long-term regional goals, and it will work toward repairing relations in time. Considerable support for Russia remains in the country.
Washington was obviously disoriented by Russia's unexpected move in Ukraine, and perhaps even more so when Putin shrugged off President Obama's subsequent threats. But for all the anti-Russia rhetoric, sanctions, and other punishments emanating from the U.S. and E.U., the danger of an armed clash or greatly heightened East-West tensions is relatively remote at the moment; but if the confrontations continue, there may be more serious problems ahead.
On March 21, Putin said "he wanted to halt the cycle of tit-for-tat retribution between Moscow and Washington," according to the New York Times. But it is too early for the self-righteous Obama Administration and Congress to simmer down. Russia in effect challenged the global superpower—an act of supreme lèse-majesté—and this requires considerable posturing, tough rhetoric and a dose of pain from an offended Washington.
From Moscow's point of view, however, the U.S. and E.U. made a deep penetration into Russia's long recognized sphere of influence and Putin had to respond with some degree of equivalence. He easily found it in Crimea.
The U.S. and E.U. so far have imposed relatively mild sanctions on Russia, though warning they would be significantly intensified should Moscow engage in other military moves in Ukraine, which President Putin earlier ruled out. On March 24, the Group of 8 wealthy countries announced it would not invite Russia to future meetings, as least temporarily, and also decided not to attend the scheduled upcoming G8 meeting in the Olympic city of Sochi but will gather at the "G7" in Brussels next June. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia wasn't disturbed by the development.
Incongruously, the act that provoked the Crimean referendum—the U.S.-backed right wing coup against the democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych—received far less attention from the American media and hardly any outrage from Washington and most European capitals, even over the fact that organized fascist elements joined the protests leading to the so-called "revolution."
Washington intrigued to bring about a coup against as punishment for his recent decision to rely on Russian aid and not that offered by the European Union (which was backed by the U.S.) to help bail Ukraine out of a severe economic crisis.
The Ukraine government had been in discussions with the EU to produce a tentative proposal last year. It was short of the country's needs but better than nothing, even though it also demanded economic, social, and infrastructural "reforms" to get the funding. Last fall, Moscow then offered Ukraine an exceptionally generous aid package—a better deal for the government and the working class than the pending proposition from the austerity-minded E.U. and the conservative International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The entire situation could possibly have been avoided. According to journalist, author, and Russia expert Stephen Cohen, interviewed on Democracy Now! Jan. 30: "The European Union in November told the government of Ukraine, 'If you want to sign an economic relationship with us, you cannot sign one with Russia.' Why not? Putin has said, 'Why don't the three of us have an arrangement? We'll help Ukraine. The West will help Ukraine.'"
The E.U. and U.S. refused. Our guess is that they wanted to control Ukraine for themselves, not least because it was the most important Soviet republic after Russia itself—a blow to Moscow—as well as a military threat.
Why a coup over this? The White House has long sought to separate Kiev from Moscow since the implosion of the Soviet Union in order to eventually move American power and NATO bases directly up to Ukraine's Russian border. Washington has been engaged for about two decades in seeking to transform Ukraine into a pro-Western state situated within Washington's sphere of influence and leadership.
The U.S. thought it achieved its objective when it helped engineer Ukraine's so-called "Orange Revolution" in 2004, but this victory was short-lived—the victim of infighting and treachery in a basically oligarch-controlled democratic political system that of course still exists. Yanukovych's election in 2010 was a major turning of the page, and now seems to be turning back.
One proof of Washington's role in regime change materialized when a secretly taped telephone conversation between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Platt, U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, appeared on YouTube Feb. 6. The call was made weeks earlier. They were so sure of a coup several weeks ahead that they discussing who would be the U.S. candidate to replace Yanukovych when the day came. There were three possible "moderate Democratic" pro-U.S. choices.
Nuland pushed for Arseniy Yatseniuk, leader of the rightwing opposition Fatherland party, and Platt agreed. Yatseniuk, a 39-year-old banker, lawyer and politician, was named Prime Minister Feb. 27, five days after Yanukovych was ejected. Nuland's by now infamous "Fuck the E.U." comment on the tape reflected Washington's displeasure that the European Union was not moving fast enough to take full advantage of the crisis.
Neoconservative Nuland is evidently managing the current aspect of the State Department's Ukraine project. In a mid-December speech to the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation, a group dedicated to promoting U.S.-European political and business values in the old homeland—i.e., it's anti-Russian—Nuland revealed that the American government spent at least $5 billion over the years to turn Ukraine toward Washington. Dozens of U.S.-affiliated NGO's and government agencies have been engaged in "democracy building" projects in Ukraine over the years, including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), International Republican Institute (IRI), the Open Society Foundations (OSF), Freedom House, and The National Democratic Institute (NDI).

For the first time, junior students in the Quality Enhancement Systems and Teams (QUEST) honors program had the chance to show off their quality management, innovation and teamwork skills to a crowd of over 300 people at the spring QUEST conference hosted at the Riggs Alumni Center on Wednesday, May 6, 2015.
People who check online patient reviews to zero in on doctors to cure or effectively treat their conditions need to take the information they find with a grain of salt, according to new research from the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business. The study, coauthored by Gordon Gao, co-director of the school's Center for Health Information & Decision Systems (CHIDS), finds no evidence
West Baltimore has been at the epicenter of upheaval in a city rocked by recent protests and riots following the death of Freddie Gray in police custody. In the aftermath, lawmakers and local officials are calling for ways to effect change in the low-income, marginalized community. An innovative experiential learning practicum piloted by the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, School of Social Work, and Carey School of Law offers some potential solutions.

Spray Paint Over Dope?
Is there a spray paint I can use over a doped tissue finish, maybe Krylon? Or could I mix ink in with dope to get a brush on color? The plane I'm building and want to color is a big 30" span so any added weight wouldn't make much difference. The tissue is indigo but where it overlaps it is darker. Kevin
years ago they used to sell coloured dope, if you ring a small paint MFG and talk to a chemist they will fill you in on suitable colourants,there was one down at Braeside that was aproachable some years back. worth a ring around a leather laquer used to be very popular with free flighters years ago ,if memory serves me it was called Hendersons. ops forgot your not in OZ.
Car spray paints especailly cellulose will go on over dope OK. They will be havy, but if you have a sprtay gun and can buy them and thin them rather than use teh can, they will work..
I think dope is good for just about any sprayable paint actually.
Test first. A lot of spray paints will go over Nitrate dope but not Butyrate.

Hey Kevin,
Ron is right, as long as your using nitrate dope; but, make sure you let let it dry for at least a week. Why you ask, because dope tends to "gas off" and can cause bubbles in the paint. As for paint, I've used Krylon, and Orchard Supply Hardware brand with great results. But as Vintage said: Watch your weight!
A very nice finish can be had with "Design Master" floral spray. It comes it many great colors, the spray pattern leaves a smooth consistent application. It can be put on anywhere from a light, very transparent coat that has little "splotching" all the way up to opaque and doesn't add much weight.
Smells terrible when spraying but no other problems when applied over nitrate.
Available at "Michael's" craft stores. "Joanne Fabrics" handles it also.

Thanks for all the great answers. I'm using nitrate. Kevin
Color paint is a lot heavier than you think even for a 30 inch model.
There's a few notable exceptions. A buddy likes using Floquil model railroad paint applied with an airbrush in a very light coat when he needs colors. However the Floquil is always a flat colour. That didn't bother him since he's always done this to military scale models. The floquil pigments provide much better coverage than most paints so they manage with a very light mist coat.
If it was electric or glow powered I'd say go for it. But being rubber powered you really need to know you want to carry around the extra handicap.

Thanks Bruce. I don't want the extra weight. It really doesn't look bad the way it is. It's a HERR Corsair which turned out to be the best kit I've built if anyone is thinking about a large scale model. I'm not going to compete with it so I don't need to make it look "perfect". If I had it to do again though, I wouldn't use the tissue it came with. Even though the tissue is very pretty, it turned out to be hard to apply. I'd use Esaki Jap. And by the way, I increased the wing dihedral so the wing tips are up to the canopy area. Kevin
Since it's a scale model you may want to follow my buddy's example with the airbrush and Floquil then. It really does make for a nice job and the flat color would be scale.
Just don't even consider for a second using a regular brush. If it's not an airbrush it'll be super thick and heavy by the time you brush it on and don't see any brush streaks. No way around it.

Thanks again, Bruce. A scale look would be nice. What exactly is Floquil and where can I get it? I was thinking of using a brush but now no way. This is a really neat airplane but although I said the tissue doesn't look bad, it does bother me. Kevin
Actually the local Hobby Lobby should carry model railroad Floquil paint, but does it come in blue?

Now that I've applyed the dope it doesn't look bad. The tissue darkened and the seams are hardly visible. There are decals I could use but I don't know how to transfer them and I don't know if they will go over the doped finish. Does any one know anything about that? These decals don't seem to have boarders, it looks like I'll have to cut them out my self. Kevin
Decals will go on right over a doped surface. Trimming off all the excess material around the decal object is a good idea, less chance of "ghosting".
"Water slide" decals are just that. Slip the decal into lukewarm water for a few moments, as the decal loosens take the decal and backing paper out of the water and place it over the surface it will be applied to. Take a paper towl and remove some of the excess water at this point and place the decal backing to the surface and slide the completely loose decal off the backing into position. It helps to move the backing away and let the decal come off rather than to slide the decal off of backing that isn't moving.
Move the decal to its final, perfect position. With a paper towel, remove all the water from the decal area by patting rather than by sweeping.
Hope that helps.
If you're happy with how it looks then don't paint it.
For next time Floquil paints are typically found in small tins at shops that cater to model railroad enthusiasts. It's your basic plastic model paint but of a really high quality.
If you do this you don't need a fancy airbrush either. Even a basic external mix style like this one will work just fine. I've got an old Badger external mix and it is way finer than you need for our use. The plastic modelers would poo-poo it but they are working with little 1/48 sized figurines and not 20 inch spans.
$9.... of course you'll need a few things like an air supply but at least you see that you don't need to go nuts on the airbrush itself. We aren't touching up negatives with it after all.

Affordable Care Act goes live TuesdayUPDATED 6:46 AM CDT Sep 30, 2013
Much to the dismay of Congressional Republicans, Tuesday marks a milestone on the Affordable Care Act timeline.Video Transcript
President Obama does plan to veto any measure that would de-fund the Affordable Care Act.... And much to the dismay of congressional Find a good insurance President Obama does plan to we'll break it all down right now. It is very confusing! You hear a lot of different things from a lot of people. STARTING TUESDAY.. INDIVIDUALS AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS LIKE GEORGE MIGLIERO.. WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE A LITTLE MORE SENSE OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. I mean there's so much information. There are so many different steps, so many processes about it, a lot of people don't know all of that information. THIS GUY KNOWS IT ALL. October 1st really isn't the kind of deadline it's just the start of the program. WEST DES MOINES INSURANCE BROKER JESSE PATTON SPENT YEARS IN D.C.--HE EVEN HELPED MAKE CHANGES TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. STARTING TUESDAY... HE'LL BE ABLE TO SELL INSURANCE ON THE NEW MARKETPLACE AT HEALTHCARE dot GOV. This is a website where you can compare insurance plans, side-by-side, the same way you'd shop for a TV or a plane ticket. In the individual market, people have the opportunity to kind of shop for coverage from October 1st to March 31st. THE EARLIEST DATE YOU CAN BE COVERED IS JANUARY FIRST. BUT TO DO THAT, YOU'LL NEED TO REGISTER BEFORE DECEMBER 15TH. When you do go on the marketplace, you've got to go through a qualification, based on income and all that interesting stuff. BEFORE YOU SIGN UP... BEWARE. IT MAY TAKE UP TO 72 HOURS TO COMPLETE... AND ONCE YOU DO--YOU'LL GET YOUR PRICE OPTIONS... THEY DEPEND ONLY ON YOUR AGE, WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU SMOKE. We will no longer use health status, we will no longer use gender. IF YOU'RE NOT SURE WHICH PLAN IS BEST FOR YOU.. ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP. Find a good insurance professional, that has a good handle on it, they can probably give you some of the best advice. Again, healthcare dot gov is where you'll need to go to find out what your rates could be. I should warn you, it may not get off to the smoothest start--- Some of the insurance agents who have been getting set up to sell plans on the marketplace.. Have already been experiencing some glitches here and there. So you may need to be patient as this is all very new for everyone

In Canada, your best bet for price and quality in organic coconut products is probably Nutiva. If you were in the States (or have a US mailing drop), Tropical Traditions is a good choice, especially when you can catch a sale.
You could spend more for some of the "boutique" brands but you're not getting a better product, IMHO. As long as you stay with cold pressed organic, you'll be fine.

A hit man who admitted to killing 28 people is now complaining about his treatment at a federal penitentiary in Quebec.
Gerald Gallant says prison authorities are not providing him with the medication he needs to manage health issues including chronic migraines, a heart condition and prostate trouble.
In a letter to the Journal de Montreal, the killer says incompetent medical care often leaves him bedridden in his cell.
Gallant is 64 now.
In 2006, he testified against 11 accomplices who were in on hits targeting enemies of the Rock Machine biker gang and the West End Gang.

Merck-Moffitt Partnership Breaks Down Silos By Catherine Varmazis
July 14, 2008 | Merck and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute (MCC) in Tampa, FL, have built a biospecimen repository and IT "pipeline" that facilitates the exchange of clinical and biomarker data and could advance the development of personalized drugs, earning the project a Translational and Personalized Medicine Best Practices Award.
Launched last fall, the Biomarker Information Pipeline automates the flow and integration of patient data from MCC, with gene expression and profiling data from analysis conducted by scientists at Merck. The pipeline is part of Moffitt's Total Cancer Care (TCC) program, a translational medicine approach that aims to improve cancer patient outcomes by encompassing genetic predisposition, lifestyle, and integrative medicine in patient care.

E-Crush is when someone has a crush on someone they met through the internet. Ofcourse they've had no contact with this person outside the internet. E-crushes are superficial and should NOT be taken seriously. Most people take a short time to get over e-crushes as they usually mean nothing

E-Crush, or www.ecrush.com, is a "hookup" site for people between the ages of 13 and 20-something. People create profiles, send notes to other prospects, and try to find people. The real thing of note behind E-Crush, however, is E-Crush Chat, a chatroom for members of the site. You'd expect people who can sign up for a website to have at least a fraction of a brain, but the retards who make up most of the chat apparently have no such thing. The majority of them are ASLers, with the exception of a few people, myself included. If you ever want to see how the American youth population has fallen to new depths, by all means, visit. Look out for DoctorTony or Tony_of_the_Fayth; that's me, one of the rare "humans" who visits the chat. I just might save your life.

Once zombies lumbered into the popular culture, there was no stopping them. Movies and other forms of entertainment have explored how legions of zombie children, zombie sheep and zombie plants would munch our flesh, but what about little people? A new short film (har har) directed by Ezekiel Zabrowski and Frank Ippolito, 'Night of the Little Dead,' may have the answer. They've released a behind-the-scenes trailer to whet our appetite for brains and teensy zombies. As Zabrowski and Ippolito say, "It's the little things that getcha."
From what we can gather in the teaser video and Dread Central, who recently spoke with the NOTLD crew, the story goes something like this. Two guys from Chicago head to a small Wisconsin town on a fishing trip. Penn Jillette plays the surly big-city guy and Adam Savage ('MythBusters') is his quiet pal. They have no idea that there's a train car nearby filled with bloodthirsty little people that the town tried to get rid of ages ago. When the boys hit the water to hook themselves a fish, they end up as bait when zombies attack.
Ippolito -- whom you may have just watched on Syfy's new FX reality series 'Face Off' -- and Zabrowski would like to make a feature version of NOTLD, but hope to tease audiences with the condensed tale of these mini monsters. Bill Moseley ('The Devil's Rejects'), Martin Klebba ('Feast II' and 'III,' 'The Cape'), James Hurley, Erica Taylor, Gary Morgan and Aye Jaye also star. Visit 'Night of the Little Dead's' Facebook page for more info, but in the meantime check out the clip below.

What is in this article?:
- Carolina grain growers optimistic about 2014
- Will state's soybean acres go 1.6 million acres or higher?
- North Carolina corn growers will have to scrutinize every nickel and dime, because they are likely to be growing $4.50 to $5 corn versus $7 a bushel.
- Late-planted soybeans were damaged this past year by heavy rainfall.
- Wheat crop in North Carolina looks to have good potential.
"I HAVE TO believe 2014 will be a better year weather-wise than last year. So if we do basically the same thing, I think we have a good chance to have a much better crop," says Jay Sullivan, president of the North Carolina Corn Growers Association.
Jay Sullivan, president of the North Carolina Corn Growers Association, says he plans to plant about the same number of corn acres as last year. "Price is always important, but you have to look at crop rotations and other factors, too," he said.
Sullivan, who farms in Samson County, N.C., with his son, says he is optimistic about the 2014 season. "We know light, or lack of light, is a limiting factor in corn production, and last year we got so much rain and had so many days of cloudy weather, but we still produced a pretty good corn crop.
"I have to believe 2014 will be a better year weather-wise than last year. So if we do basically the same thing, I think we have a good chance to have a much better crop. Had we not got so much rain and cloudy weather on our farm last year, I think we would have produced one of the best, if not the best, corn crop ever," he said.
"We had a lot of rain—too much rain in many areas of the state, and statewide we had a well-above-average number of cloudy days. None of that is conducive to high corn yields, which tells me the best is yet to come," says North Carolina State University corn specialist Ronnie Heiniger.
He stresses this year will be the first in the past few in which growers will have to scrutinize every nickel and dime that goes into a corn crop, because they are likely to be growing $4.50 to $5 corn versus $7 a bushel and up.
How much price will impact corn acreage next year is a hotly debated question. Heiniger contends the opportunity to grow higher yields can offset some of the loss of revenue because of price reductions for corn. "If you're growing corn for $5 an acre or less, you better be sure you can produce significantly more than 100 bushels per acre," he adds.
With the per-acre cost of growing corn in the $500 per acre range in most farming operations in the V-C Region, even the state record yield of 142 bushels per acre would be marginally profitable in some grain farming operations, especially those with significant costs for land rent.
Heiniger, who is also widely known among Southeast farmers for his prowess in predicting weather cycles, says the neutral pattern that has been in place over the past year appears likely to stay in place for at least part of the 2014 growing season.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. If corn growers can get their crop planted on time and get some moderation in weather pattern, it could provide rain and times in which its needed most for corn and could help growers significantly improve yields in 104, he speculates.
