Mattress cleaning
We spend a third of our lives sleeping on mattresses and keeping them clean can go a long way in promoting good health. Mattresses and pillows are the ideal environment for house dust mites. Whether you suffer from asthma and allergies or not, sanitizing the bedroom and having your mattress cleaned will dramatically reduce the amount of harmful bacteria and mites which will improve your quality of sleep. Dust mites are the number one cause of allergic reactions in the home. If you find yourself waking up with a stuffy nose and sneezing every morning, it might be time for mattress cleaning.
The best way to clean mattresses is to have them professionally cleaned with a low moisture cleaning process which is the same process we use on upholstery. Our cleaning process will remove any hard to clean spills like coffee, urine, pet stains, body oil, or blood and do it with a green certified cleaning solution that is safe for you and your pets.
Once the cleaning of your mattress is done it will only take 1-2 hours to dry with our general cleaning (additional dry time may be required for urine spots). So you can rest that night after we are done cleaning and enjoy the benefits of having a clean mattress with a whopping 98% of all allergens removed and the cleaning will additionally improve the air quality by removing all the dust from your mattress.

Donald Trump Blasted By White House For 'Disqualifying' Anti-Muslim Plan
The White House publicly denounced Donald Trump as a presidential candidate on Dec. 8 when Press Secretary Josh Earnest called his Dec. 7 anti-Muslim statement 'disqualifying.' Here's what we know.
Donald Trump, 69, has officially gotten on the White House's bad side on Dec. 8. Press Secretary Josh Earnest spoke out about Donald's plan to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S., calling the statement "disqualifying." Here's the scoop.
Democrats and Republicans alike were appalled on Dec. 7 when Donald released a statement saying that he wants to ban all Muslim people – including American citizens currently outside of our borders – from entering the United States. After ignoring Donald's antics for most of his campaign, the White House has finally had enough. "What he said is disqualifying," said Press Secretary Josh Earnest at a press conference. He also called the plan "entirely inconsistent with the values enshrined in our Constitution."
On top of that, Josh thinks it's time for all of the Republican presidential candidates to withdraw any support from The Donald. "The question now is about the rest of the Republican Party and whether or not they're going to be dragged into the dust-bin of history with him," he said. On top of that, he sees refusal to denounce Donald as total incompetence. "If they are so cowed by Mr. Trump and his supporters that they are not willing to stand by the values enshrined in the Constitution, then they have no business serving as president of the United States themselves."
During the very first GOP debate, candidates were asked to pledge their allegiance to the party, meaning that they agree to support whoever gets the Republican nomination, even if it isn't them. All current candidates besides Donald agreed, but a few may now be changing their minds. After Donald's anti-Muslim statement, Jeb Bush tweeted "Donald Trump is unhinged. His "policy" proposals are not serious." So, perhaps more will follow suit and agree with Josh that they can no longer pledge support of Donald. We sure hope so.
For a lighter take on a very serious issue, people are turning to Twitter to express their joy at the White House's comment. #TrumpIsDisqualifiedParty reached top trend on Dec. 8, and included tweets about celebrating Donald "being disqualified" from the race. Some are referring to it as an actual party, others as a new political party. Of course, no one can actually be disqualified by the White House for a statement, but it definitely shows the public's opinion on the matter.
To be fair, 88% of America disqualified Trump before he even entered the race. #TrumpIsDisqualifiedParty

The #TrumpIsDisqualifiedParty is a righteous new body politic that simply doesn't tolerate idiotic racist flabby inflatable losers/their BS

What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Should all of the other GOP candidates withdraw their support from Donald, or is it their job to stand beside whatever candidate gets the nom? Let us know!

This may seem obvious when pointed out but I've found that few people realise it otherwise – we all like stories. As children we start off learning by experiencing the world but, once we start to understand language, our ability to learn accelerates and we soak up stories.
Continuing into adulthood, we continue to learn from two sources – our own experiences and those of others, the latter coming to us as stories. Stories don't have to be fictional – in fact most aren't (in the main). Relying on our own experience would limit us to a single lifetime of learning – but listening to (and reading) stories allows us to learn from thousands of lifetimes. Each generation builds on the previous ones and so we progress as a species. Without language and stories we'd still be living in caves.
Some of us may pride ourselves on the ability to absorb and recall facts but we manage much better when we use stories. Not just for, say, learning history; stories put almost any set of facts into a context that helps us recall them later when needed. Some stories are solely internalised whilst others are shared; some are quite simple whilst others complex and convoluted. A simple example: when we first learn the colours of the rainbow many of us learn the mnemonic "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain"; there's no real reason to associate an event in a 15th century English war with the spectrum of visible light but the association works. Another I recall is for the colour code used on electrical resistors " Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Venture Goes West". And stories of great scientific discoveries stick in our mind (e.g. Sir Isaac Newton and the apple).
I was recently reminded of this approach when a student was seeking advice regarding part of a research report he was writing. My advice was to think of any good report as telling a story. It has a beginning (the introduction), an end (the recommendations) and middle (a story that leads the reader between the two). If the story doesn't flow, the reader will either give up reading or not appreciate the recommendations – both situations probably meaning most of the effort needed to issue the report will have been wasted. Of course, this is (or should be) a story without any fictional element) but there are many other situations where the reader/listener is asked to engage their imagination to bring things to life and into their own particular context.
One reason I include academic study as an essential complement to experience for anyone to be a true professional in any field is that such study engages the student in the stories of many who have gone before – and gains numerous lifetime experience upon which to build another.

YWCA Central Carolinas is grateful for the ongoing support of Good Friends. This summer, Good Friends
made it possible for 5 students in K-5th grade to attend YWCA's 9-week, full-day summer programming
in Mecklenburg County. YWCA youth programs provide year-round academic support for over 345
elementary school students living in ten economically disadvantaged neighborhoods in Mecklenburg
and Union Counties – including the nine weeks of summer. Due to funding cuts, once summer
programming ended, we closed one of our Mecklenburg youth learning centers which leaves us with
nine centers. Summer programming, however, was offered at all ten.
Children attended summer programs at YWCA from 9 am to 4 pm for nine weeks this summer. For
YWCA students, the summer is an opportunity for extended education. With your support, these
children were able to avoid the summer learning "slide." Two-thirds of the achievement gap between
lower- and higher-income youth can be attributed to unequal access to summer learning opportunities.
In addition to YWCA's daily use of guided reading programs using the instruction and assessment tool,
iReady, community partners like the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library, the Hornets Book Bus and
Promising Pages join in with YWCA's activities to make reading fun and exciting.
While still focusing on reading and parent engagement, extended program hours during the summer
allow for more time to plan and take longer field trips and enjoy fun extracurricular activities.
Oftentimes, centers will choose a theme to build their programming around and will weave in literacy
projects, field trips and activities around that theme. This summer, one of our centers used a Super
Heroes theme that included lessons like "Every Hero Has a Sidekick: the importance of being a team
player," "Unlikely Heroes: humility and meekness can lead one to greatness," and "Heroes Fly High: a
positive attitude and behaviors lead to success." Field trips at this center included a trip to the Schiele
Museum, going to see a movie at Phillips Place Movie Theatre, and going to a local senior living facility
to visit seniors and play literacy games. The Hornets Book Bus also made a trip to a number of our
centers, where the kids met Hugo the Hornet and picked books from the book bus. Please see attached
photos of an example of just some of the fun learning that was had this summer!

The messenger of the stars so that we may be in touch with our true purpose.
The messenger of the star helping us to get in touch with our true purpose.
The Messenger of the Star, assists in the illumination of the 'soul star' and the 'incarnational star'. As the magenta energy of our soul star (above the crown) brings love from above to the incarnational star in the gold-wisdom area of our being (belly), our true aura is activated, expanding into the light field that surrounds our physical body. We may then get in touch with why we are here, what we are to do and they way we are to do it. As we bring our caring and warmth to all that we do, putting love into the little everyday things, we may find great joy in service to others through wisdom shared with a deep level of caring.

The musicians playing at the Gilroy Garlic Festival when the mass shooting occurred July 28 will go back on stage this week — and they're turning the concert into a fundraiser.
TinMan, a classic rock band, was already scheduled to perform this Thursday, Aug. 15, at the free summer concert series at the San Jose Municipal Golf Course.
"We want to honor the victims," said bassist Bill Weir, who announced that the San Jose-based band will donate all tips and other donations received at the show to the nonprofit Gilroy Foundation.
Weir said band members discussed the upcoming performance after the violence that took place as the festival was winding down and decided, "We need to just carry on."
The musicians dove for cover under the stage as the shooting started. None was injured.
"We've always been close. We've been a lot closer as a band (since then). That really kind of sealed it for us," he said.
The band also expects to announce a fundraising concert in Gilroy soon. Details for that event are still being firmed up.
Details: Early arrivals are recommended for Thursday's concert, which will start at 6:30 p.m. at the San Jose Municipal Golf Course, 1560 Oakland Road, San Jose. Seating is limited at this outdoor venue; lawn chairs are welcome. Both food and drink will be for sale.

40, 4 Kids, Breast Reduction 3/10/16 ~ Adios B(r)EASTS of Burden! - Dr. Yaker came recommended to me by a friend I trust explicitly that had him perform lipo on her. She has met numerous other women that have had work by him also, and they all gave him a glowing review, too! I follow my gut instinct, and I had a really positive feeling about Dr. Yaker & his staff. I highly recommend him! - - Breasts have been an issue for me pretty much my entire life. At the age of 8, my breasts began to form and I became very self conscience about it because it wasn't happening to any of my other friends. I remember asking my mom to buy me a bra, and she ignored me and refused to. I became really ashamed as I could not hide my growing breasts. Fast forward to Jr. High school and the dreaded locker room. I was 11 years old and I STILL did NOT have a bra. I was so embarrassed. When I was 12, my mother finally took me bra shopping. This same year, my mother who was very small chested (and small framed) decided to get breast implants. I'll never forget her talking with our neighbors about getting it done and the husband said "Why, because your daughter is bigger chested than you are?" And she told me THAT comment was what sealed the deal for her to get one.By 13 I was wearing a 34C and getting a TON of negative attention from boys. I hated it. I wore clothes that would purposely hide by breasts. The next year when I was in high school, I remember being a friend's house in the pool and I was wearing a bikini. The guys were calling me "Droopy", because by comparison to my friend's who were smaller and perkier, I was droopy. THAT made me even MORE self conscious. By the age of 18/19 I was wearing a D cup. I never exposed my breasts and always tried to hide them, even in intimate situations - and even now at age 40 - I do the same to this day!Over the years, my weight has fluctuated - between having an underactive thyroid & Hashimotos, to 4 children, they look beat down and have literally had the life sucked out of them. But aside from the emotional issues I have had in regards to my breasts throughout the course of my life, and aside from the cosmetic aspect of their appearance, never finding bras that fit quite right and support them - they have been causing a lot of physical issues for me. I have to wear 2 bras at a time - an underwire one, then a sports bra over the top, so that I can have some lift and support. Clothes NEVER fit right - I have to get larger sizes to accommodate my breasts, and I am limited to what types of clothing I can wear. No cute off the shoulder, strapless, back cut outs, etc. The under boob sweat is ridiculous, and I have dermatological issues now - fungal growth that smells (totally disgusting & foul) and irritation, chafing and painful skin erosion. I have been to a neurologist because I was getting headaches with a vengeance again and I was having issues with my left arm going numb and tingling. Turns out, I have a pinched nerve, likely from the bras I wear to support the weight of these beasts. Creating tension in my neck/shoulder & upper back. I also have very dense, fibrocystic breasts. I often have breast pain. For my yearly mammo, I am then always referred out to get an ultrasound. This past year, my right breast (which has been getting smaller, actually) found 2 cysts in it. Both my mother & her mother have had breast cancer, so also by getting a reduction, it will help to reduce the risk.I'll never forget breast feeding my children I was so embarrassed because my boobs hung so low, I had to support my boob to hold it up AND the baby. Needless to say, I am at a point in my life that they are wreaking so much havoc on me in every way, I need to be free of them! I want to become more active and just be FREE of these damn things!Despite having letters from physicians, and test results, BCBS denied coverage for this procedure stating they felt it was only cosmetic. I appealed, and then requested an IRO which I have not heard back on yet, but even if I go broke getting this done, it will be worth it to me. Of all the stories I've read and others I've spoken with, I've yet to have someone say they regretted getting this done. It still hasn't really sunk in for me yet that this is happening, because I can't imagine having the freedom this will bring me. Just in looking at clothes on-line I realized my perspective in how I look for clothes is changing. I've always been so limited and would skip past stuff because I knew I wouldn't be able to wear it.I have read so many amazing testimonies on this site, and I can't wait to share the rest of my journey with you!Steph More
I had a breast reduction and lift. BEST decision of my life. Dr. Yakar was FABULOUS! I would do this surgery again in a minute! I had no bruising, no swelling and only had to take one pain pill after surgery. I had my surgery 10 years ago and everything is still GREAT! Highly Recommend Dr. Yakar....he is GREAT! More
Dr Yaker and his staff were outstanding ! From my consult to recovery - I was given the absolute best care ! My results from my breast reduction & liposuction are better than I ever hoped for . Dr Yaker is an artist !!!! I had the very best results possible . Thank you Dr Yaker & staff from the bottom of my heart . More
I am 26 years old and Dr. Yaker reduced my breasts from a 32DDD to a 32C. I love the results and wished I had done it sooner. I am now three months post-surgery and the scars are barely noticeable and continue to fade.I received two other consultations prior to surgery and chose Dr. Yaker because of his extensive experience, his caring bedside manner, and his friendly and helpful staff. Dr. Yaker and his staff are all extremely knowledgeable, caring, and understanding. I would definitely recommend Dr. Yaker to anyone considering Breast Reduction surgery. More
Dr. Yaker, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the breast reduction surgery you performed on me and how happy I am with the results. I am now able to participate in everyday activities and I am looking forward to using equipment at the gym that was difficult prior to surgery. I feel like a new person and I wanted to thank you for making me feel more confident about myself, Sincerely, More
Dr. Yaker, For the first time in my whole life I am proud of my breasts. I never believed this could happen…and at your hands it did. Thank you for everything! Sincerely, J.W. More
Dr. Yaker Two years ago on October 15th you changed my life for the better, when you performed an excellent breast reduction surgery! I will never forget how wonderful you are!!! K.G. More

After taking a 9-month sabbatical from the book blog to work on my first actual book, this is the first of a series of 'retro blogs' detailing what I read in the last three-quarters of 2015.
My, what a sparse month for me! A measly five books bought, (a record low for some time), allowing me to double the number read. This was mainly due to other priorities this month, from writing, to entertaining my visiting girlfriend for two weeks, to spending a week riding across Morocco on a camel.
Reading, of course…
John Hodgson has joined my list of 'Authors I Want To Read Everything They Have Ever Written.' Sadly, this was the comedians third and final volume in his trilogy of everything/nonsense. If your humour matches his, you will find yourself snorting with repressed laughter on crowded, quiet minibus treks across the Sahara desert, bothering your girlfriend every 3.9minutes to read the last paragraph which just cracked you up.
Also on those cross-country caravans, I rediscovered reading on my iPhone, the Kindle app coming to my rescue when the paper had run out. It was on the small screen that I thoroughly enjoyed a recent Unbound purchase, 'Ta-Ra-Ra-BOOM-De-Ay,' a fascinating history of modern music from the early days of music hall a century ago to the current day, via everything from fights between recording companies, to the influence of drug culture on popular music.
I saw in a bookshop yesterday that this has made the crossover from Unbound crowd-funded book to general release, so go find it in your book dealer!
I caught up with contemporary hipster literature (hipsterature?) by reading the deliciously bizarre 'Boy Detective Fails' at the recommendation of my big brother, and the slightly less exciting first book by über-book cover designer Chip Kidd.
Hopefully, that's a downpayment on 9months of absence: I hope you've all somehow found something worth reading since I've been away: feel free to let me know what!
Books Bought, April 2015

'More Information Than You Require,' John Hodgman

A biome is a distinct biological community that has common characteristics for the environment they live in. Worldwide there are five major biomes – aquatic, desert, tundra, grassland and forest. On a smaller scale, biomes may refer to areas where the predominant vegetation is characterized by adaptations to the particular local environment. For example, Howell's marsh marigold plants (discussed in my previous post "Howell's Marsh Marigold" on 12-13-2017) has adapted to live in wet habitats.
An ecotone is a transition area between two biomes where two communities meet and integrate. The boundary between the two communities may be narrow or wide, local or regional. This transition zone results when physical properties, such as soil type, moisture, light and temperature to name a few, undergo a change over a relatively narrow area. Differing species on either side signal an ecotone.
A ecotone is easily visible in a portion of our property that is set aside as a wildlife area (Modoc County CA). There is a small hillock with deep, well-drained soil surrounded by clayey, poorly drained soil. As seen in the photograph, atop the hillock are tall, grey-green sagebrush plants, while the sagebrush plants surrounding the hill are smaller and do not have a greenish color. Near the bottom of the hillock a line separating the two is distinctly visible. That line is a sagebrush ecotone.
The sagebrush atop the hillock is tall sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) while silver sagebrush (Artemisia cana) surrounds the hill. Tall sagebrush is adapted to deep, well-drained soils while silver sagebrush grows in clayey, poorly drained soil or in standing water. Where the more fertile, drier soil of the hillock changes to wet, less fertile soil of the surrounding area the plant biome changes – a sagebrush ecotone.
Settlers in the 19th Century recognized that the presence of tall sagebrush indicated good agricultural soil and chose the sites for their farms accordingly.
More information about tall and silver sagebrush can be found in my previous posts: "After the Storm" on 09-17-2011 and "Silver Sagebrush" on 12-06-2013.

When you get right down to it, there is nothing more important than increasing our capacity to love. A disciple once asked Gautama Buddha, "Would it be true to say a part of our training is for the development of love and compassion?" The Buddha replied, "No, it would not be true to say this. It would be true to say that the whole of our training is for the development of love and compassion." The apostle John said essentially the same thing in his beautiful exposition on love: "This is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another…He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." If God is love and we were made in the image and likeness of God, as both Genesis and scriptures of the East tell us, then at our very core we too are love. God created the universe so that we–and he–could experience more of the wonders of that love.
That is why most, if not all, of the critical issues in our life revolve around the innate need to give love and to receive love. When we lament the lack of appreciation or respect or even self-esteem in our life, what we are really yearning for is love. When we feel compelled to take those tortuous twists and turns through the labyrinth of life, painful as they may be, its because we're trying to recapture the experience of divine love that is native to our soul.
The labyrinth takes us over the high peaks and into the deep chasms of our own inner terrain. The landscape has been shaped by our karma–the consequences of the choices we have made in the past to love or not to love. Each time time we come to a Y in the road, we again come face-to-face with the choice–to love or not to love, to open our heart and share our gifts or to shut down and pretend no one is home. Since the journey is not always easy, at times we take the safer, lower road so we can catch our breath. And sometimes we never make it back to the high road. It's understandable. Maybe we were deeply hurt in this life or a past life and we don't want to open our hearts and be rejected again. Maybe we're angry with others or even with God for the loss of a loved one. Or maybe we feel guilty about our own shortcomings and have convinced ourselves that we don't deserve to be loved.
In some cases, we unconsciously wall ourselves off. We retreat into the castle of our heart and position layers upon layers of defenses around it so that no one will get too close to us and we won't get to close to anyone else. But these defenses keep us insulated from the very thing we crave–an intimate experience of giving and receiving love. That's when the universe conspires to wkae us up and get us back on the high road. Mark L. Prophet, once said, "All experiences on earth are to teach us the meaning of love. Everything that takes place for the education of the soul…is to teach it the meaning of love. Because love is the power that shakes the universe and sounds one pure tone that gives to every man the freedom to embrace his own divine presence, his own divine plane."
If we can embrace this truth–that all our experiences are designed to teach us how to give and receive more love–then suddenly the circumstance of our life make sense. We are awakened to the need for a higher walk with love. And the journey into those deep chasms and over those high peaks become a sacred trek.
You knock at the door
of reality, shake you
thought-wings, loosen your
shoulders, and open.
How can I open my heart and freely share my love with others? How can I empower my heart so I can fulfill my reason for being and soothe those who are in pain? How can I heal my own heart from the pain of the past and expand my capacity to love? How can I give to others and still find time to nurture myself? How can I enter my heart to fan the inner fires of love. How can I become a living transformer of love?
I AM the Light of the Heart
I AM the light of the heart
Shinning in the darkness of being
And Changing all into the golden treasury
Of the mind of Christ.
I AM projecting my love
Out into the world
To erase all error
And to break down all barriers.
I AM the power of infinite love,
Amplifying itself
Until it is victorious,
World without end!
Alchemy of The Heart by Elizabeth Clare Prophet

Fort Rucker, AL | February 27, 2017
"Exciting changes are coming to Fort Rucker Schools," said Cindy Gibson, public affairs officer for the Department of Defense Education Activity-Americas. Those changes include brand new facilities and the combining of two current schools.
Gibson said, "Both the Fort Rucker Primary and Elementary schools need to be replaced, based on a Military Construction program, which began in fiscal year 2010, to replace aging Department of Defense Education Activity schools. Ultimately, the two schools will consolidate into a new 21st Century facility. Until then, DODEA Americas, Southeast District is preparing for that outcome."
Gibson said a "new 21st Century School" will be constructed on the site where Fort Rucker Elementary School is currently located."
This month the Corps of Engineers began work on the temporary site that will house grades three through six. The temporary site is a well-designed, high quality facility, which we are calling 'The Village,'" said Dr. Vicki Gilmer, Fort Rucker Elementary School principal, in a release provided by Gibson."
The Village will include state-of-the-art learning cottages, a full gym and outdoor play area, a media center, cafeteria, and much more, said Gibson. "In August, the current Fort Rucker Elementary School will be razed and construction on the new 21st Century School will begin on that site. It will be a two-story, incredible environment that will house all students on Fort Rucker in grades Pre-K through sixth."
In the release, Gilmer said, "The education and service to our students and families is our first priority. The temporary site provides evidence that we will be providing our great tradition of teaching and learning in a quality setting."

This 38 square meter sloop designed by Marius Sofus Joannes Hansen in November, 1935, was built by Thomsen Boatyard in Kalundborg, Denmark and launched in 1939.
Bout has undergone a complete, loving, restoration beginning in September 2017 by Robert D'Arcy and Douglas Jones, and their professional crew, Jason, Riley, Jen, and Zolly. All work was done inside the Port Townsend Maritime Building. Her construction is plank on frame using white oak framing, larch planks, and teak decks over angelique framing. The center line is purple heart.Her cabin is original with a new interior. Doug Jones reshaped the mast, and Port Townsend Foundry created all the bronze works. Sails were made by Carol Hasse, and rigging by Port Townsend Rigging. Brian Toss contributed as well. Walt Tisdale handled the new engine installation. Bout was able to hold onto her lead keel during WWII when Nazi Germany occupied Denmark. In 1966, she was solo sailed from San Diego to Hawaii and back by then owner Robert Sisler. Bout was purchased by Ollie and Janice Pedersen in 2006. Photo by Neil Rabinowitz

Good Morning!
Grain markets this morning are mostly in the green as geopolitical trade risk and USDA reports jostling for the position of what's most important to grain prices: supply or demand.
"Betting that markets will be 'volatile' is like betting the weather will be partly cloudy. It's a smart-sounding strategy that doesn't mean much. – Kelly Evans (American journalist)
Grain Markets Remain Volatile on Acres, Trade Risk
Grain markets this morning are mostly in the green as geopolitical trade risk and USDA reports jostle for the position of what's most important to grain prices: supply or demand.
As Garrett mentioned in Grain Markets Today, soybean prices led grain markets lower yesterday on concerns over. This morning, however, soybean prices are rebounding again with ideas that Argentina's soybean crop is so small that they may become a net importer of the oilseed for the first time to meet their meal and oil demands. Canola prices are following soybean prices higher but are touching their technical lines of resistance.
Worth noting for corn prices was that, over the weekend, China let the market know that they're going to put a 15% tariff on US ethanol imports. Thus, those who have been waiting for the Chinese ethanol mandate to increase US corn or ethanol exports to the People's Republic may be in for a rude awakening.
Yesterday afternoon we also got the USDA's first full crop conditions report, which showed us that US winter wheat crop isn't in great health. Kansas showed a good-to-excellent (G/E) rating of 10% and a poor-to-very poor (P/VP) rating of 47%. Just 9% of the Oklahoma crop is rated G/E, with 46% rated P/VP. And then in Texas, 15% is rated G/E versus the 59% rated P/VP.
Aggregately, the average US winter wheat rating is for 32% G/E and 30% P/VP. Last year, those numbers were 51% and 14% respectively, so the crop is certainly in a poorer state today. Put another way, the US winter wheat crop is in its worst state since 2002!
USDA Report Still Moving Grain Markets
On Thursday we got the USDA's Prospective Plantings and Quarterly Stocks report, which reset the goalposts for the next few weeks. The USDA gave us their assessment of what US farmers are going to plant for the 2018/19 crop.
We did a deep dive into the numbers for each of the major 12 crops that we cover in GrainCents. Click on each category for a full recap of the USDA's numbers, including charts and changes in major production states of each crop. In doing so, get a free 21-day trial of GrainCents in the process (you can add other crops as well once you've selected your first crop).
Corn acres came in at just above 88 million, a 2.14 million acre decline from last year. This was a major story that we covered at GrainCents because of the historical element. The biggest surprise came in soybean acres, which were pegged at nearly 89 million. That number is a 1.16 million acre decline from last year and about 2 million below the pre-report average guesstimate. Sure, the number was low, but the historical significance was key, and this is why it also moved soybean prices nearly 30 cents on Thursday (in addition to supporting grain markets in general).
US canola acres were pegged at 2.076 million, which is just a 1,000-acre increase from last year, but that would also make it a new record. American flax acres came in at 225,000, which is a drop of 26% year-over-year (although this means it's down just 78,000 acres from 2017).
Winter wheat acres were estimated by the USDA at 32.7 million, which is about 12,000 acres higher than last year. The bigger surprise was in spring wheat acres as they were projected at 12.63 million acres. This is 1.62 million acres higher than 2017. It's clear that Northern Plains farmers will plant more spring wheat than durum, as American durum acreage was forecasted at 2 million acres for the 2018/19 crop year. That number was 303,000 acres lower than last year and below trade expectations.
In other cereals, US oats acreage was estimated at 2.72 million acres, up 128,000 acres year-over-year. Conversely, US barley acres were forecasted at 2.28 million, down 8% year-over-year and 27% from the five-year average as malt barley prices remain depressed.
For pulses, US peas acres are seeing a similar decline as in Canada, down 222,000, or 20%, year-over-year to 908,000. Similarly, American lentils acreage was pegged at 791,000, down 28% year-over-year, as like peas, prices are down significantly year-over-year. American chickpeas acreage are the anomaly of the pulses, as 665,000 acres will get seeded. This is up 7% year-over-year, but it's also more than double what the five-year average is!
What Else is Moving Grain Markets?
Currency factors are helping to push up corn prices and soybean prices in Brazil and Argentina. It's not so much the strength of the US Dollar, but the volatility of the political scene in these two countries that are supporting domestic grain markets. For example, while soybean prices in Chicago closed lower yesterday, cash soybean prices in Brazil jumped 2% thanks to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.
In Argentina, rainfall could total 0.5 to 1.5 inches over the next ten days. For the October-March "rainy season," Argentina received just 49% of the average precipitation it normally does. That's a new record. Thus, the rains through next weekend would be helpful as cereal planting is set to start soon in late April/early May. However, the coming months are what's considered Argentina's "dry season," and with the lack of soil moisture already, production of the likes of wheat and barley could fall.
As we near Plant 2018 hitting full tilt, there are certainly some concerns over the slow thaw that we see in Western Canada and the US Northern Plains. This could slow the pace of planting, and in turn, add some weather premium. We walked through this scenario over the weekend for the majority of crops in our Sunday morning GrainCents Digest email.

Mary j and Jay-Z are targets of a federal song swipping suit filed by two New Jersey men. Jermaine Jumpp and Michael Adams accuse famed producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins of stealing there beat that was used for Blige's "Enough Cryin".
They claim they sent a CD containing their song to Jerkins back in '01 and were stunned when "Enough Cryin" was released in 2005. Jay got a co-writing credit they got shit. No one knows why this is popping up 3 years later, but it must be hard to reach the lawyers of such famous folk.
My focus would be go after Rodney Jerkins hard body, he the producer not Jay and Mary. I can see why to attack them though, Rodney is a famous producer but you get max attention when Jay and Mary on the headline.

Jimi Hendrix Hear My Train A Comin' (documentary)
Basically, this is an update on A Movie About Jimi Hendrix that I mentioned previously, with more
A lot - if not all - of the live footage has been seen by most fans by now - and a lot was included in the earlier documentary mentioned above - but it is always thrilling to watch the man play and be amazed at his skill and wizardry. He never fails to give me chills when I see his intensity and incredible talent.
Again, pretty much any fan will have seen most of the footage of Jimi, though I suppose there are bits and pieces of behind-the-scenes bits that probably are not wildly distributed. But, the interviews are fun and who can complain about hearing and seeing this stuff again?

The performance of current consumer-grade devices for 60 GHz wireless networks is limited. While such networks promise both high data rates and uncomplicated spatial reuse, we find that commercially available devices based on the WiHD and WiGig standards may suffer from their cost-effective design. Very similar mechanisms are used in upcoming devices based on the IEEE 802.11ad standard. Hence, understanding them well is crucial to improve the efficiency and performance of next generation millimeter wave networks. In this paper, we present the first in-depth beamforming, interference, and frame level protocol analysis of off-the-shelf millimeter wave systems with phased antenna arrays. We focus on (a) the interference due to the lack of directionality of consumer-grade antennas, and (b) the degree of data aggregation of current devices. Regarding (a), our beam pattern measurements show strong side lobes that challenge the common conception of high spatial reuse in 60 GHz networks. We also show that reflections in realistic settings worsen this effect. Further, we measure weak directionality when beamforming towards the boundary of the transmission area of an antenna array. Regarding (b), we observe that devices only aggregate data if connections require high bandwidth, thus increasing medium usage time otherwise.

|This Master Thesis presents the paper 'Boon and Bane of 60 GHz Networks: Practical Insights into Beamforming, Interference, and Frame Level Operation' written by Thomas Nitsche, Guillermo Bielsa, Irene Tejado, Adrian Loch and Joerg Widmer. This paper was published in the conference ACM CoNEXT 2015, which took place at Heidelberg, Germany in December 2015. The student was heavily involved in all the measurement campaigns presented in this work, including processing and writing the documentation about them. This makes possible for the student to present this work as his Master Thesis.
