There are far more pieces of delegated legislation created each year than Acts of Parliament.

Proper preparation of a Bill should lead to better-informed debate when it is introduced, and may save time by identifying problems at an early stage. This period of pre-legislative scrutiny should allow mature consideration and so help to avoid introducing laws that are unworkable.

By Roger Mercer
Dear Roger: A friend of mine suggested I write to you. I have a plant that I need a name for. I have had these before, but I had never seen it shoot up like this before. Any help would be appreciated. - Sharon W.
Dear Sharon: The plant shooting up the lavender blooms is coleus, a member of the mint family, hence the square stems.
They have become a favorite of mine for nonstop outdoor color in summer. I have simply kept seeds over the years to grow more.
Coleus also roots easily, and when I get a seedling I especially like, I root it and keep it over in the greenhouse for widespread use the next year.
The plant behind the coleus is a sansevieria, also known as mother-in-law's tongue.
Sansevierias also send up pretty spikes of bloom. The flowers are white. Many variations in leaf color and form are available, and the blooms on them can be quite fragrant.
Last week, I saw a large batch of newly arrived sansevierias blooming at the Lowes on Raeford Road. The fragrance was very pleasant.
Dear Roger: Have you ever mentioned in your column the issue of Mulch Volcano syndrome? I'll bet you have. I've been "tsk tsking" many times lately as I go by a certain property because all the trees have high mounds of mulch.
Today, I observed that a beautiful Japanese Maple on that property looks severely stressed, and there's still a huge mound of mulch around the poor thing. It's at least 18 inches high at the trunk. Good-looking mulch. No weeds, but the tree is dying. Would you please remind folks that mulch is truly a wonderful thing, but more is not better?
You're doing a great community service by addressing gardening topics specific to this area.- D. in Hope Mills
Dear D.: I believe I have seen the property you are talking about. It's kept very neat and well trimmed. But you're right about the mulch. Too much cuts off air and causes excessive demands on soil nutrients while soil bacteria break down the mulch.
This is way too much of a good thing. I hope somebody takes pity on these plants. Some of that mulch needs to be removed.
By the way, I've never written about this topic before, so I'm glad you prodded me to respond.

Thorlabs offers reflective neutral density (ND) filters made from UV fused silica substrates with Inconel coatings deposited on one side. Inconel, which is an alloy consisting mostly of nickel and chromium, provides a flat spectral response. These unmounted metallic filters are usable in the 200 - 1200 nm spectral range and are available in Ø1/2" and Ø25 mm versions. The Ø1/2" mounted filters come in SM05 (0.535"-40)-threaded lens tubes, while the Ø25 mm versions are housed in SM1 (1.035"-40)-threaded lens tubes. Both are engraved with the part number, filter type (i.e., reflective), and optical density. For other mounting options and wavelength ranges, please see the Selection Guide table on the bottom right.
The UV fused silica substrate used in these filters exhibits high transmission and virtually no laser-induced fluorescence (as measured at 193 nm), making it an ideal choice for applications from the UV to the near IR. While the spectral range's lower limit of 200 nm is limited by the absorption of the light by the substrate, UV fused silica provides good transmission up to 2.1 µm, and thus the upper limit of 1200 nm is dependent on the increased opacity of the Inconel coating. The optical density (OD) for each filter is specified at the design wavelength of 300 nm to facilitate their use in the UV; some variation in the OD will occur over the usable range. For plots showing the typical performance of the filters from 200 to 2600 nm, click on in the row corresponding to the desired filter in the tables below.
Although these are reflective ND filters, the Inconel coating does absorb some of the incident light, which limits the use of these filters to low-power applications. When using Inconel-coated optics, it is important to remember that nickel oxidizes if used in an environment where the temperature is in excess of 100 °C.
Ten mounted Ø25 mm UV reflective ND filters are available in the NUK01 kit. The NUK01 includes filters with optical densities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. The filters come in a storage case and are offered at a savings over purchasing the filters individually.
The optical density, OD, is defined in terms of transmission T by the following equation:
Choosing an ND filter with a higher optical density will translate to lower transmission and greater absorption of the incident light. For higher transmission and less absorption, a lower optical density would be appropriate.
The specifications to the right are measured data for Thorlabs' UV reflective ND filters. Damage threshold specifications are constant for a given optical density, regardless of the size of the filter.
This following is a general overview of how laser induced damage thresholds are measured and how the values may be utilized in determining the appropriateness of an optic for a given application. When choosing optics, it is important to understand the Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) of the optics being used. The LIDT for an optic greatly depends on the type of laser you are using. Continuous wave (CW) lasers typically cause damage from thermal effects (absorption either in the coating or in the substrate). Pulsed lasers, on the other hand, often strip electrons from the lattice structure of an optic before causing thermal damage. Note that the guideline presented here assumes room temperature operation and optics in new condition (i.e., within scratch-dig spec, surface free of contamination, etc.).
Thorlabs' LIDT testing is done in compliance with ISO/DIS11254 specifications. A standard 1-on-1 testing regime is performed to test the damage threshold.
First, a low-power/energy beam is directed to the optic under test. The optic is exposed in 10 locations to this laser beam for a set duration of time (CW) or number of pulses (prf specified). After exposure, the optic is examined by a microscope (~100X magnification) for any visible damage. The number of locations that are damaged at a particular power/energy level is recorded. Next, the power/energy is either increased or decreased and the optic is exposed at 10 new locations. This process is repeated until damage is observed. The damage threshold is then assigned to be the highest power/energy that the optic can withstand without causing damage. A histogram such as that below represents the testing of one BB1-E02 mirror.
According to the test, the damage threshold of the mirror was 2.00 J/cm2 (532 nm, 10 ns pulse, 10 Hz, Ø0.803 mm). Please keep in mind that it is only representative of one coating run and that Thorlabs' specified damage thresholds account for coating variances.
When an optic is damaged by a continuous wave (CW) laser, it is usually due to the melting of the surface as a result of absorbing the laser's energy or damage to the optical coating (antireflection) [1]. Pulsed lasers with pulse lengths longer than 1 µs can be treated as CW lasers for LIDT discussions. Additionally, when pulse lengths are between 1 ns and 1 µs, LIDT can occur either because of absorption or a dielectric breakdown (must check both CW and pulsed LIDT). Absorption is either due to an intrinsic property of the optic or due to surface irregularities; thus LIDT values are only valid for optics meeting or exceeding the surface quality specifications given by a manufacturer. While many optics can handle high power CW lasers, cemented (e.g., achromatic doublets) or highly absorptive (e.g., ND filters) optics tend to have lower CW damage thresholds. These lower thresholds are due to absorption or scattering in the cement or metal coating.
LIDT in linear power density vs. pulse length and spot size. For long pulses to CW, linear power density becomes a constant with spot size. This graph was obtained from [1].
Pulsed lasers with high pulse repetition frequencies (PRF) may behave similarly to CW beams. Unfortunately, this is highly dependent on factors such as absorption and thermal diffusivity, so there is no reliable method for determining when a high PRF laser will damage an optic due to thermal effects. For beams with a large PRF both the average and peak powers must be compared to the equivalent CW power. Additionally, for highly transparent materials, there is little to no drop in the LIDT with increasing PRF.
In order to use the specified CW damage threshold of an optic, it is necessary to know the following:
The power density of your beam should be calculated in terms of W/cm. The graph to the right shows why the linear power density provides the best metric for long pulse and CW sources. Under these conditions, linear power density scales independently of spot size; one does not need to compute an adjusted LIDT to adjust for changes in spot size. This calculation assumes a uniform beam intensity profile. You must now consider hotspots in the beam or other nonuniform intensity profiles and roughly calculate a maximum power density. For reference, a Gaussian beam typically has a maximum power density that is twice that of the 1/e2 beam (see lower right).
Now compare the maximum power density to that which is specified as the LIDT for the optic. If the optic was tested at a wavelength other than your operating wavelength, the damage threshold must be scaled appropriately. A good rule of thumb is that the damage threshold has a linear relationship with wavelength such that as you move to shorter wavelengths, the damage threshold decreases (i.e., a LIDT of 10 W/cm at 1310 nm scales to 5 W/cm at 655 nm). While this rule of thumb provides a general trend, it is not a quantitative analysis of LIDT vs wavelength. In CW applications, for instance, damage scales more strongly with absorption in the coating and substrate, which does not necessarily scale well with wavelength. While the above procedure provides a good rule of thumb for LIDT values, please contact Tech Support if your wavelength is different from the specified LIDT wavelength. If your power density is less than the adjusted LIDT of the optic, then the optic should work for your application.
Please note that we have a buffer built in between the specified damage thresholds online and the tests which we have done, which accommodates variation between batches. Upon request, we can provide individual test information and a testing certificate. The damage analysis will be carried out on a similar optic (customer's optic will not be damaged). Testing may result in additional costs or lead times. Contact Tech Support for more information.
As previously stated, pulsed lasers typically induce a different type of damage to the optic than CW lasers. Pulsed lasers often do not heat the optic enough to damage it; instead, pulsed lasers produce strong electric fields capable of inducing dielectric breakdown in the material. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to compare the LIDT specification of an optic to your laser. There are multiple regimes in which a pulsed laser can damage an optic and this is based on the laser's pulse length. The highlighted columns in the table below outline the pulse lengths that our specified LIDT values are relevant for.
Pulses shorter than 10-9 s cannot be compared to our specified LIDT values with much reliability. In this ultra-short-pulse regime various mechanics, such as multiphoton-avalanche ionization, take over as the predominate damage mechanism [2]. In contrast, pulses between 10-7 s and 10-4 s may cause damage to an optic either because of dielectric breakdown or thermal effects. This means that both CW and pulsed damage thresholds must be compared to the laser beam to determine whether the optic is suitable for your application.
When comparing an LIDT specified for a pulsed laser to your laser, it is essential to know the following:
LIDT in energy density vs. pulse length and spot size. For short pulses, energy density becomes a constant with spot size. This graph was obtained from [1].
The energy density of your beam should be calculated in terms of J/cm2. The graph to the right shows why the energy density provides the best metric for short pulse sources. Under these conditions, energy density scales independently of spot size, one does not need to compute an adjusted LIDT to adjust for changes in spot size. This calculation assumes a uniform beam intensity profile. You must now adjust this energy density to account for hotspots or other nonuniform intensity profiles and roughly calculate a maximum energy density. For reference a Gaussian beam typically has a maximum power density that is twice that of the 1/e2 beam.
Now compare the maximum energy density to that which is specified as the LIDT for the optic. If the optic was tested at a wavelength other than your operating wavelength, the damage threshold must be scaled appropriately [3]. A good rule of thumb is that the damage threshold has an inverse square root relationship with wavelength such that as you move to shorter wavelengths, the damage threshold decreases (i.e., a LIDT of 1 J/cm2 at 1064 nm scales to 0.7 J/cm2 at 532 nm):
You now have a wavelength-adjusted energy density, which you will use in the following step.
Beam diameter is also important to know when comparing damage thresholds. While the LIDT, when expressed in units of J/cm2, scales independently of spot size; large beam sizes are more likely to illuminate a larger number of defects which can lead to greater variances in the LIDT [4]. For data presented here, a <1 mm beam size was used to measure the LIDT. For beams sizes greater than 5 mm, the LIDT (J/cm2) will not scale independently of beam diameter due to the larger size beam exposing more defects.
The pulse length must now be compensated for. The longer the pulse duration, the more energy the optic can handle. For pulse widths between 1 - 100 ns, an approximation is as follows:
Use this formula to calculate the Adjusted LIDT for an optic based on your pulse length. If your maximum energy density is less than this adjusted LIDT maximum energy density, then the optic should be suitable for your application. Keep in mind that this calculation is only used for pulses between 10-9 s and 10-7 s. For pulses between 10-7 s and 10-4 s, the CW LIDT must also be checked before deeming the optic appropriate for your application.
Please note that we have a buffer built in between the specified damage thresholds online and the tests which we have done, which accommodates variation between batches. Upon request, we can provide individual test information and a testing certificate. Contact Tech Support for more information.

Row for Water with Katie Spotz
In December, 21-year old Katie Spotz set off on the adventure of a lifetime — a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean! She is now over halfway between Africa and South America. After 2,500 miles and 70-100 days alone at sea, she will become the youngest person ever to row an ocean solo and the first American to row from Africa to South America.
But this row is about more than ocean adventure, world records and personal challenges. It's about something much more important: safe drinking water. That's why Katie partnered with the Blue Planet Run Foundation to help raise funds for sustainable safe drinking water projects all over the world. Unsafe drinking water is the leading cause of sickness, disease and death worldwide — but it's a problem that, working together, we can solve.
For the three months Katie is rowing, she will keep you posted on her progress on her web site. Be sure to check back often for updates and more information.

"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life." -John Lennon
2013's winner of The Ritz's Battle of the Bands. We're busy in the studio right now, recording our first album. "Our emphasis lies in bringing a ton of energy to the stage." Spanish/Indie rock...Spindy rock, in the sense that our main guitarist/backup vocalist is Colombian. Relying much on vocal harmonies and our violin/trumpet for diversity. Our goals for the future are limitless. Doing our best to start breaking into the festival circuit, once we complete our album.

Potential home buyers are increasingly asking a very pointed question when looking to buy in a rural area. "They want to know how fast the internet speed is," says Mike Rudibaugh, with Partnership for a Connected Illinois. There are a number of ways to label different internet speeds. For the younger generation, anything under 3 mbps is too slow. At 3 mbps, you could download a 3 minute song from iTunes in about 8 seconds. Large downloads or streaming movies can be a hassle…Continue Reading
By early Wednesday morning, I'll be packed up and headed north on a train to Chicago, with any luck whatsoever. The Illinois Farm Families folks are sending fellow Farm Mom Emily Webel and me to a reasonably glamorous event in Chicago. "Girls Night Out – Go Red for Women" is hosted by Sassy Moms in the City, and celebrates the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement. There are to be "fabulous Chicago personalities," a red carpet, hors d'oeuvres, a fashion show and…Continue Reading
On Friday and Saturday evenings a little over a week ago, I joined hundreds of farmers, agribusiness people, even legislators united to raise money for Alan and Kristin Hudson's legal defense in a lawsuit that hopes to write Maryland clean water laws for the Chesapeake Bay by judicial precedent rather than by legislative process. It has been a long time since I've seen such an uprising from a normally accepting ag community. This young Maryland farm family from Berlin, Md., are the…Continue Reading
I am mostly very happy that the Ohio Department of Agriculture was willing to take the bound volumes of the old Ohio Farmer magazines last fall. The responsibility of storing them and keeping them safe weighed on me and I figured there were very few times I would really need them. Well one of those times was a couple of weeks ago when I was writing up the profiles of the three new Master Farmer award winners for the March issue. I won't spoil the surprise of opening the magazine by…Continue Reading
Maybe you've heard of Erin Ehnle? No? How about Keeping it Real: Through the Lens of a Farm Girl? If you're into agriculture and you spend any time at all on Facebook, I bet you've seen her work. In short, she's been creating an image a day since mid-January, combining lovely rural photography with various facts and quotes about agriculture. She publishes them on Facebook and she is marvelously talented, with an eye for both photography and design. She's a natural ag communicator; not many…Continue Reading
No one who goes to a farm show sees everything, even after three days, but you can sure try. The 2012 National Farm Machinery Show was a true "sole searing" event (catch that spelling). And while I found my fair share of new stuff, there were a few items of note I'll highlight here - just a very few. First, Geringhoff is trying to rewrite how a combine corn head works. The company has already been recognized for its folding corn head with its chopping design. But now they're thinking in new…Continue Reading
Most of the lessons I've learned on the farm, I have learned the hard way. I still hear the voice of my father, sending out basic bits of wisdom that seemed appropriate in handling almost every unforeseen circumstance. One of his most prized pieces of advice was quite simple. "Always have a plan B," he would say. In other words, roll with the punches, or, as I like to say, employ strategic flexibility. When we were sorting cattle, he would insist on setting up extra…Continue Reading
It was just an innocent mistake. I was visiting the Indiana FFA Center during one of their leadership camps for chapter officers on a Saturday afternoon recently. Some of our local kids were there, and I wanted to see what the camp was all about. One of the sessions was on acting and dressing like a professional. I hated to admit it when I heard the topic, but I figured I might learn as much as the kids did. In some ways, I did. The number one lesson learned was to stay alert and pay…Continue Reading
It's time to nominate a farmer or rancher you know for the Dakota Farmer's Master Farmer award. Master Farmer is an award for men or women who are actively farming or ranching. It recognizes them for their farm or ranch management achievements and their involvement in their communities, schools, churches, industry groups or other organizations. Each year, two farmers or ranchers from North Dakota and South Dakota are recognized as Master Farmers. To download a nomination form, go…Continue Reading
A few facts on the folks on Earth and what they've been up to lately: * World population hit 7 billion people in 2012. * United Nations estimates we will reach 9.3 billion by 2050. * Growth will occur not in our traditional allies but in rapidly developing nations like Pakistan, Brazil, India and Bangladesh. * By 2050, 30% of the population will be rural and 70% will be urban – some 6.4 billion people, which is roughly equal to the entire world population today. * Today there are…Continue Reading
Northern Beef Packers is about to open in Aberdeen, S.D. The plant will process 200 head of cattle per day when it opens and will have the capacity to process 1,500 head per day per shift. Bel Brands USA, headquartered in Chicago, is going to start construction on a new cheese plant in Brooking, S.D., this summer. The factory will have the capacity to process the milk from 15,000 cows. Bel Brands, which has two other plants in the U.S., makes Laughing Cow and other gourmet snack…Continue Reading
Last week, I found myself sitting at the Ag Communications symposium at the University of Illinois. It was organized to mark the 50th anniversary of the program from which I graduated, and on tap were lots of speakers, lots of colleagues, lots of friends I hadn't seen in awhile, lots of agriculture. It was, in short, a great way to spend the day. It also included lots of thought-provoking discussions, which I'll try to share more of throughout the week. But for now, a single speaker stood…Continue Reading
Remember all those news reports about the explosion in food costs in 2008? I distinctly recall one farmer saying the local news reported that the price of popcorn at the movie theater was going up because so the price of corn was so high. Ignorance aside, there were a lot of reports about how many households had fallen to poverty levels due to rising food costs. It turns out many of these reports were over exaggerated. According to a report published by University of Illinois&rsquo…Continue Reading
The Frank Dietrich family from Lucan, Ontario, Canada, is the grand prize winner in the "Why Do You Choose Brent?" video contest. Announced last Friday at the National Farm Machinery Show, the Dietrich farm family video was chosen the best through an online vote at the Brent website. We reviewed all five finalists here in Farmers Respond to Video Contest and the competition was tough. Each of the finalists had done its best to bring high-quality video production values to their finished…Continue Reading
Driving over Gavins Point Dam north of Crofton today, a little water was being released through one flood gate into the spillway below and down the Missouri River. That is a far cry from the raging waters that burst through the flood gates in all of the six major Missouri River flood control dams last summer, sending flood waters downstream, into homes and cities, and across farm fields on the path to the Mississippi River. In January, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported that their…Continue Reading
Walking through acres of brand new, shiny equipment at the National Farm Machinery Show, noticing that the equipment carried the latest advancements in both design and technology, made me think what I would do if I was farming. I would fill my toolshed with tractors that steer themselves, combines that can control the grain cart via the combine operator and all sorts of GPS gadgets and gizmos. It would be tempting to buy the biggest grain cart, buy the biggest bin and the biggest dryer so I…Continue Reading
Kudos to the folks at the North Dakota State University's North Central Research Extension Center. They were recently honored by state ag and emergency services departments for providing shelter to pets during the 2011 flood in Minot. The NCREC staff housed more than 500 hogs, cats, rabbits, iguanas, birds, snakes and other pets the center's garages, machine sheds and seed warehouses. The first of the animals began arriving in May when the Mouse River began rising and the last…Continue Reading
Aside from the obvious - things like my family and my husband - there are basically three things that have made me the person I am today: 1. God 2. The University of Illinois 3. 4-H House And pretty much in that order. For purposes of this blog, I'm going to skip to number three. 4-H House rocks. It was my home-away-from-home in college. It's a cooperative housing unit for women on the University of Illinois campus, which until now, required five years of 4-H…Continue Reading
This week the National Farm Machinery Show is helping me put more wear on my trusty walking shoes with a bevy of top companies showing off their wares. You learn plenty walking around the show, and this year the mood remains good (though there is that thought "how long will this last?" question weighing in the back of many folks' minds). I'm rounding up what new products I can find and learning more about a few hot topics or future copy in your favorite Farm Progress magazine, and online soon…Continue Reading
I got a reminder this week from my Farm Progress colleague Holly Spangler in Illinois that the school funding crisis is nationwide. This is a struggle that faces not just farm families but urban families as well. In Wichita, my family is faced with losing the school community of which we have been a part for six years. Our 219-student Open Magnet, Emerson, is on the USD 259 chopping block, apparently because the community of which we are made is diverse enough that no one school will be…Continue Reading
It looks like the LightSquared battle is won. The controversial system that originally promised to bring cell phone service to every nook and cranny of America at the cost of overpowering GPS signals in areas around its towers, was effectively shut down when the FCC denied permission for its tower build-out and said it would rescind the conditional approval it granted a year ago. There will be public comment and there's a always a chance that things could change, but it is not likely. It…Continue Reading
Last July's "Food for Thought" column was headlined: "America suffers 'litigious pollution'." It noted the growing legal legions employed by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Environmental Defense Fund, the Natural Resources Defense Council and others. These groups "have become so bold that they now pose a greater threat to America's economy than armed terrorists. Because of this growing 'sue-'em' society, even state…Continue Reading
Being a farmer today is participating in a complex vocation. There is the tough, production-oriented business model, where we purchase inputs as cheaply and use them as efficiently as possible. Every dollar is accounted for and net profit is the key to happiness in life. Then there is the "way of life" model, where we don't pay much attention to dollars and cents, but worry more about the value and rewards of living a rural life to the fullest and raising a family on the…Continue Reading
It's exciting times for Ohio pork producers, according to Todd Stickley, president of the Ohio Pork Producers Council. We had a chance to sit with Todd at the Ohio Pork Congress last week and he said the mood of the pork industry is very positive. Stickley is also director of pork finishing and development for Kalmbach Swine Management, LLC. Ohio Farmer: You say pork producers are in a pretty good mood. Why? Stickley: There are many reasons to be optimistic about our pork industry. As…Continue Reading
The night was pitch black, as nights get. I was leaving a meeting where volunteers has helped grade FFA proficiency forms, and I was one of the volunteers. As the person riding home with me and I approached my car, a fellow volunteer, an ag teacher, Joe McCain, Greenfield Central High School, spied us and called for help. His hood was up on his pickup. His battery was dead. Batteries will do that sometimes, especially when they're 10 years old. I could relate. Sometimes I just don't want to…Continue Reading
Next week my title takes a short vacation. For some time I've been editorial director at Farm Progress, responsible for a range of details, issues and such running our 19-magazine family of editors and production folks. But every year about this time, I turn that hat around (you can never really take it off) and bringing the other title to the front - machinery editor. Since the early 1980s I've been covering farm machinery. I enjoy it and most readers know I like checking out the latest new…Continue Reading
There are signs all over town: "Vote no." "Just vote no." "Vote NO on consolidation." Our small town is, obviously, about to vote on whether to consolidate with two other rural school districts, just to our north. The Committee of 10 has long since been formed, the research conducted, the information presented. Now the communities are hashing it out, presenting their sides and forming formidable offenses. Suffice to say, there's some vocal opposition…Continue Reading
Agriculture is an exceptional industry with many exceptional businesses and an even greater number of exceptional people. Yes, that's a double affirmation. That's why America's farmers are world leaders in food productivity and in return on farm investment. Even before the current economic downswing (We're not supposed to call it a recession anymore.), agriculture was one of the hottest places to reinvest farm revenues. And as you know, it has solidly withstood…Continue Reading
I have a lot on my plate this week, but I had to take a few moments to respond to a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists. The report is called "Eight Ways Monsanto Fails at Sustainable Agriculture." It's a bunch of crap. To start with, it makes sense that the group is not called the Union of Concerned Economists. If it were, half of their eight bullet points would have succinct answers. I'm speaking of promoting pesticide resistance, increased herbicide…Continue Reading
Jay Bursch, a Glenn Ullin, N.D., amateur sunspot and aurora borealis watcher, sent me an interesting letter the other day. It details the number of auroras, or northern lights, he has documented by month since 1981. There are more 2,250. Bursch, who has been quoted by ABC News and several aurora borealis societies, thinks that di auroras, or northern lights, can tell us what's driving climate change. Auroras are caused by sunspots and solar flares. The more solar flares, the theory…Continue Reading
This is the season when seniors have either applied for tons of scholarships if they want to pursue a higher education in agriculture, or are still applying for scholarships. In fact, we will feature an item this week about three opportunities whereby ag companies, all of them ag cooperatives, are offering scholarships for members of descendants of members. The exact rules vary from scholarship to scholarship, but each one is worth checking out. Most are for $1,000 to $1,500 on a one-time…Continue Reading
When we milked cows when I was a kid, I marveled at some of our Holsteins. I swear that those long-necked cows were never happy. They would not only stretch their necks through a fence to the other side for a fresh blade of grass, but they would stretch it back around the post into the pasture where they were standing. I guess you just can't please some folks. The attitude of the Holstein cow might be the same prevailing attitude that drives our young folks to high paying jobs…Continue Reading
I can't help wishing I could be a fly on the wall when the inner circle of Gov. Sam Brownback's advisers get together to talk about immigration. The conversation has to be interesting. On the one hand we have the new Secretary of State, Kris Kobach, elected in the great Tea Party sweep of 2010 on a campaign to stop voter fraud, which until he ran for office, no one in Kansas had ever thought much about. Stopping voter fraud is the thin veil that covers his real agenda, which is driving…Continue Reading
This week comes news that a group of investors want to revive the Studebaker brand name. Most readers may remember the Studebaker as the maker of fin-laden cars in the 1950s (who didn't) or the boring Lark. Or maybe you saw the Avanti. Today, the Studebaker Motor Company looks more like an investor's front for Chinese car and motorcycle makers - and that may be the long-term goal. And it's amazing to me that these brands keep coming back. Sure, I think fondly of the Studebaker Hawk my parents…Continue Reading

I just sold my HIudson so will not be using this blog. I want to thank all the people who helped with problems that I encountered. My problem was that I didn't drive it enough and restoration was getting too expensive. The used parts especially twin-h was just too costly and I know people who had these parts for sale paid a fraction for what they wanted, not all, but some. If I thought the restoration cost could be recouped even partly, I would had kept the car, but Hudson's are a labor of love and not for profit. Thanks again for all who helped me with repairs.
THANKS FOR BEING ONE OF US YOU SAID I know people who had these parts for sale paid a fraction for what they wanted THAT IS TRUE I KNOW I BOUGHT PARTS 25 OR 30 YEARS AGO IF YOU THINK I'M GOING TO SELL THEM NOW FOR WHAT I PAID THEN YOUR WRONG
Thanks for being a hudson owner and one of us here as well. You are right in that Hudson's are a labor of love and not for profit. I love mine as I am sure others here love theirs. I know it can get expensive as well. I do what I can when I can but I will never let her go. Best wishes to you in your future endeavors and maybe we will see ya back again some day. :)
Twin-H was an option. Did you absolutely have to have one?
Thanks for your comments and info. My first purchased Hudson 52 Wasp brougham was bought between 1990-95 and we stored it at a friends home for 3-5 years while I cleaned a place out in the garage to work on it. While working on it, we collected parts, some expensive and some at flea market prices. I waited at our first National meet in Nashville for 5 to 6 hours in the heat waiting for the owner of the parts he brought for us. Those that attended the meet remember how hot/miserable we were in the outside area of the flea market. This hobby is for my enjoyment, misery, satisfaction, gift to my kids/grandkids.
We suggest you determine the goals you have before you purchase your next project, good luck and best wishes to you. Bob P -
I hope you still peek in the Forum occassionly to learn anyone can build or buy a 'Big 3' Classic Car today with Repop Parts & Deep Pockets however, it takes a tenacious person to restore or own an oppulent Car like Hudson because of the need to scoure the Country obtaining rare parts & pieces.
Hudson has 'quite a Legacy' as an Orphan Car that others cant emulate by developing many Industry 'Technological Firsts" that the 'Big 3' later copied, plus set many early flying Mile Records, Fuel Economy Records, and set many early NASCAR Records by unbelievably using a 6 Cyl Hornet against all V8's....
In reality because of INFLATION, New or Used Parts (or anything for that matter) does not cost the same as a decade or two ago...
Good Luck on your future Project -
Please stick around the Hudson club. Just because you're selling off doesn't mean you can't be a member of this great family car club. I haven't had a Hudson since I had to sell my '49 back around 1988 due to illness and I have felt welcome no matter where I go in the club. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has ever said "well, what are you hanging around the club for - you don't have a Hudson!!!"
Since I still can't afford a Hudson, nor at my age of 75 do I feel I could maintain one, I looked around for something I could contribute to the club for being my "family". That's the reason behind the online library (url below my signature). It was something I was capable of doing and so I did it and gave it to the club to help all the great people who mean so much to me.
I will repeat, again, the story of the lady who came up to me at the last New England Chapter meet I attended before moving to Memphis for personal reasons: she said "Just remember, Alex, you always have your Hudson family!!" She was so right.
Remember - if you can work on Hudsons, you can maybe help somebody else get theirs up and running.

Eddy, not so long ago, I was asking myself if I was not taking too much in trying to restore my 54. Was able to work only two days in a year because of lack of time ( I am retired and volunteer in my community but have to learn to say NO cause I want to do that car badly). Recently, I did a foolish thing. I bought a house because of that huge garage. Bought it with no cash down... Gave my little house as a deposit. For the love of my Hudson. It's a risky thing I know. It will take another year before I will be able to work on the car again. I went in the garage lately for something else. And when I passed near my 54, the smell of it came to my brain. And at this moment, I knew I made a good choice. This will make me happy for many years I'm sure. Some people are on Art forum. They don't own a Rembrandt or a Picasso. They exchange opinions, ideas and learn a lot. Everytime I come here, I learn too. I invite you to do the same. Stay in the Club. You won't regret it! Michel.
when I bought my 49 - thought it would be a 2-3 year resto-rod project..well cough..cough...that was 7 years ago! :(
Admittedly some of the delay is my fault..but, the majority is...Life just gets in the way sometimes.
I'm almost to a point where I'm thinking of pulling the old girl back in the shop this winter if things keep going ok and I'm still working that is ;)
I do have some items if anyone is interested in making me an offer.
48 Hudson owner's manual
53 Jet owner's manual
hydraulic bumper jack with decal, needs rebuilding & paint
if interested make an offer, plus shipping from Niagara Falls, NY
PM me an I will get back to you -
Been playing with old cars all of my life and as you say it has to be a passion.
Few or none that I know off have made any type of a profit or living with these things. I agree that costs are much higher today than they have ever been and I expect that costs will continue to go higher rather than lower. I enjoy the build process and over the past five years have had four Hudsons and a few other products. As I would sell them I was normally breaking even. I still have three cars but no intention of building any more or selling what I have. But, who knows, things could change. The one thing that I know is that Hudsons are cheaper to work on than anything else that I have built. But, as you have so clearly stated, it is truely a labor of love. I could say a lot more but there is not a real reason to do so. Best of luck to you and always visit our forum--just because we are good friendly people. Next time you visit a Hudson meet, take a ride with an owner--Just for the fun of it.....Brownie -
Just as a point of information PAULARGETYPE rebuilds those hydrolic jacks you have for sale.

I have been working on our 54 Hornet Hollywood 11 years now. Is that dedication or not.
Ray -
Duncan: Got any pics? I Love 54s. Michel
Duncan, yes any photos? I just got a 52 hollywood but currently looks like a rust bucket and needs COMPLETE restoration. Would be nice to see what others have done with theirs.

In Part 1 of this series I started work on a simple resistor model as a way to illustrate some of the flexibility the VHDL-AMS language offers when creating simulation models. Recall that one of the advantages of VHDL-AMS is adding detail to models – a benefit not available with all modeling languages or methods. With VHDL-AMS, it's possible to get your model and simulator to report performance … Read More
One of the great values of modeling with a hardware description language is simply this: you can tell a model to calculate and report all sorts of information about what's happening inside it. Consider a generic electrical model, for example. Simulators will report voltages across and currents through the device. But what if you want to know how much power is dissipated in the device? Or if the power … Read More
I recently attended a piano recital for a young man in my neighborhood who studies music at a local university. He has natural musical aptitude and is an awesome piano talent. During his recital he played compositions from popular yet long since deceased composers: Beethoven, Liszt, Debussy, Prokofiev. If you're not familiar with any of these names, not to worry. I only know them because my wife's … Read More
In my last post I talked about using modeling and simulation to preserve design and technical expertise within a company. This seems a valuable methodology for preventing technical 'brain drain' within a corporation. Recently, however, I ran into another simulation dilemma related to sharing simulation knowledge: how to share simulation expertise between companies. Often when I talk with … Read More
Like many youth since time began and there were pianos to play, my daughter takes piano lessons. In musical ways, she is much like her mom. Both play piano and sing beautifully. And like her mom, my daughter's talent is several notches above average, at the level that leaves you wanting to hear more when each piece is over. I recently attended a recital to listen to my daughter and her fellow … Read More
I like books – lots of 'em. I rarely turn down a chance to visit a bookstore or search Amazon's gazillion pages for a book or two on whatever topic I'm interested in at the moment. Most of my personal library contains non-fiction books that explain how to do things. Over the years I've found that my book collection trends toward a few categories, the largest of which are Writing, Engineering, Programming, … Read More
It certainly isn't news that I think Mechatronics is a pretty cool field of study. Whether you design and build mechatronic systems for your profession or your hobby (or maybe both), you have to admit it's a fascinating subject. As I write this, I'm waiting anxiously for FedEx (or perhaps UPS) to deliver my latest toy – a 2006 Mini Cooper S remote control (RC) car kit. I've owned several RC cars over … Read More
I'll start this post, as I sometimes do, with a disclaimer: I am not a rabid football fan. I enjoy watching an occasional game, and my wife is an enthusiastic supporter of her college alma mater's football team (think blue turf in Idaho), but I don't live for the game. My wife does not become a football widow, nor my children football orphans, on weekends. Football is a pleasant pastime for me, … Read More
My daily driver (at least until my daughter gets her driver's license in a few months) is a 1982 Honda Civic 1500 DX. It's not much to look at – paint is faded and the upholstery needs extensive repair – but the body is pretty straight and it runs quite well for being 30 years old. Could I afford to drive something else? Yes. In fact, my family's transportation fleet includes 4 other vehicles of 1998 … Read More
I'm back at my keyboard after a brief, but enjoyable, vacation. Like last year, I trekked with my family to the Oregon Coast. Yes, we enjoy time at the beach, though this time we travelled with extended family so we spent a bit more time driving around site seeing than playing in the tide. In seven days I personally logged some 1200 miles in the driver's seat. Luckily I don't mind … Read More
Lately I've been working with customers interested in using SystemVision to simulate either a real production design, or some sort of evaluation test circuit. To a customer, however, each ran into the "don't have a simulation model" challenge for one or more devices in their system. Despite SystemVision's large VHDL-AMS and SPICE model libraries, we didn't have a … Read More
It's software release time in the SystemVision® offices, and I'm happy to announce that SystemVision 5.9 is ready for immediate download. Here are some of the release highlights: Design entry: User interface (UI) updates including more flexible user customization; Support for multi-sheet schematics and multi-view symbols; Improved schematic symbol generation; Easier mapping between simulation … Read More
The Bugatti Veyron occupies a unique spot among dealer showroom trophy cars: the fastest production automobile in the world. With a top speed of 254 miles per hour (406 kilometers per hour), the Veyron sits atop the supercar heap, chewing up asphalt at a brisk pace just under 4.3 miles per minute (over 6.7 kilometers per minute). If a Veyron graced my humble two-car garage, I could theoretically travel … Read More

"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"—Tim Tebow
--From the book Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow and Nathan Whitaker
Hard Work
So what?
You think you got talent?
Let me tell you something
Having talent doesn't mean you are good
Especially if you slack off
No matter what you do, work hard
With hard work you will get to the next level
Talent alone will NOT get you there
When you give 100% you will eventually gain some talent
People will notice you are eager to get better
Even if you are not the best, people will notice you
They'll know you are eager to get better
And give everything you have

I tried it at McDonald's recently in Manhattan and, like the other customers, was excited to use it.
I tried Raspberry Coke Zero (for those who were wondering).
It's very easy to use, and boasts over 100 flavors.
My only criticism is that my concoction was a little sweet. And my buddy who was with me also thought his Fanta Zero was also a little too sweet. A bit too much concentrated syrup, perhaps? It was still tasty though.

On The Couch with Sean Carter
Sean Carter is making some of the best independent Christian music around and I bet you've never heard him. I hadn't either until I was passed on a copy of his new record The Telling. Carter is a worship leader at Chase Oaks Church in Plano, TX and an artist who writes honest and gritty praise songs while never forsaking the art in his music.
I was blown away when I first heard The Telling and found that Sean is an independent artist and that he had written/recorded/produced much of the album himself.
Check out our video interviews and hear what Sean has to say about the tension between leading worship and creating art. Also, take a look at two acoustic performances by Sean. You can find out more about him at www.scartermusic.com as well as stream his album The Telling in its entirety exclusively here in FaithVillage.

Several people have responded to my comment with ad hominum attacks yet I have not read any rebuttals of my points except for woodswalker who brought up rape and murder.
Woods Walker - You don't call something "moral" just because a state passed a law. Jim Crow laws were real, and they were EVIL. But for many years they were ENFORCED.
Jim Crow laws were wrong and immoral. Slavery was LEGAL but it was wrong and immoral. Bankers that stole money in the 80's were breaking the law (and hundreds went to jail) and they were wrong. Bankers stole money in the last decade and it was LEGAL (none have even been arrested). Burnie madoff ran a ponzi scheme and it was illegal, Social security does the same thing and it is legal (and will hurt millions when it collapses). Obamacare is ILLEGAL and it is being ENFORCED. The list goes on and on.
Right and wrong are not the same thing as Legal and illegal. This country was FOUNDED on the principle that when the law no longer serves the people that law should be CAST OFF.
The sport of hunting is in sorry shape for one reason. Unjust laws have not be opposed and overturned, they have been accepted by a soft public unwilling to stand up for what they believe in.
Take a good look around, there is an army of lawyers and environmentalists ready to END your way of life. Little by little, regulation by regulation they are destroying your way of life, and you just accept it. With each little law they chisels away at your rights. And now we have somebody actaully wanting to HELP these guys do it (see original post about how to "help" the government enforcers).

But any gambler who says he can predict what that bill will look like in its final form is a fool.
The bill passed Wednesday night by the Senate was, frankly, weird. It would allow for charter schools only in the state's four largest cities, and it would only allow existing, low-performing schools to be turned into charter schools.
In other words, no new schools. And none in Calhoun County. But the House has yet to speak, and only five meeting days remain in this session.
We ask: What are the odds that the Legislature will settle on a bill that's worth passing? We'll know soon.

While all the articles on this study seemed to avoid mentioning the issue of doctors persuading female patients to have cesarean deliveries, not to mention the yuckiness that the general practices and enviornment of hospital births tend to be, one has to scratch one's collective head.

"My feeling is that women who aren't sex workers are getting this kind of thing because there's pressure from someone who's telling them they're not perfect," Young said. 'There's often pressure from a man who tells them they need it,"
So, the next time someone tells you they're doing this for themselves and no one else, I'd suggest you call them on it, since that's likely hogwash.
