Fayetteville is a city located in Cumberland County, North Carolina, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 121,015. It is the county seat of Cumberland County, and is best known as the home of Fort Bragg, a U.S. Army post located northwest of the city.
As of 2009, the city of Fayetteville has a population of approximately 198,061 including annexation since the 2000 census. It currently ranks as the sixth-largest municipality in North Carolina. Fayetteville is located near the Sandhills in the western part of the Coastal Plain region, on the Cape Fear River. With a population of 341,363, the Fayetteville metropolitan area is the largest in southeastern North Carolina, and the fifth-largest in the state. Suburban areas of metro Fayetteville include Hope Mills, Spring Lake, Raeford, Stedman, and Eastover.
Fayetteville History
Fayetteville has attempted to reverse the image of its downtown area through various downtown revitalization projects, with mixed results. New additions, such as the Airborne & Special Operations Museum, The Fayetteville Area Transportation Museum, Fayetteville Linear Park, and Fayetteville Festival Park, which opened in late 2006, have all contributed somewhat to the changing downtown area. The city still has a very high crime rate.
The towns and rural areas surrounding Fayetteville have experienced rapid growth over the past decade. This growth has spilled over into suburbs such as Hope Mills, Raeford and Spring Lake.
The western part of Cumberland County was annexed into Fayetteville in recent years.
In 2008, BestLife Magazine, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the National Center for Education Statistics, the FBI, the American Association of Museums, the National Center for Health Statistics and the American Bar Association, ranked Fayetteville as the 3rd worst city in America to raise a family.
Recently, Where To Retire magazine named Fayetteville one of the best places to retire.
In 2005 Congress mandated that due to the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) effort Fort Bragg would gain several new commands. The Army will be closing down United States Forces Command and the United States Reserve Command in Atlanta and moving them to Fort Bragg. This move is expected to relocate over 30,000 people to the area as a result of the command changes and businesses that will move to support the command. FORSCOM awards over $300 billion in contracts annually.

Sri Lankan delegation headed by Hon. Nimal Siripala de Silva, Minister of Healthcare and Nutrition attended Commonwealth Health Ministers' meeting held in Geneva on 18th may 2008. The Hon Minister of Health of the Western Province, Mr. Prasanna Ranatunga, Dr. Palitha Abeykoon and Dr. Nihal Jayathileka, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Healthcare, were the other members of the delegation.
This meeting had been organized by the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Mr. Kamlesh Sharma and Health Ministers representing nearly fifty Commonwealth countries attended this annual forum. The main theme of discussion in this meeting was the place of E-health in health systems development and health care delivery.Hon. Minister, Nimal Siripala de Silva highlighted the initiatives taken by the Government of Sri Lanka on E health, to improve the quality and equity of health care. Sri Lankan Government has embarked upon an innovative pilot programme in tele-radiology and tele-pathology to seek a solution to the brain drain of their qualified specialized doctors in certain fields, such as radiology and pathology.
He stressed the need for providing continuing education for doctors, nurses and other health personals through E-Health programmes. He further stressed that the development of health information systems and management information systems in hospitals are vital to sustainable development of health systems. In developing countries expanding E Health service has been affected due lack of bandwidth infrastructure around the country, especially in the rural areas where it could be most useful. In Sri Lanka, the government is currently addressing the limitation through the development of the Telecommunication Infrastructure which will be accessible to the health sector.
He also urged the Secretariat of the Commonwealth and other International Agencies to establish a mechanism to share technical, E-health related materials and programs, and information among the Commonwealth countries undertaking E-health services. Minister also highlighted the fact that the computer hardware and software required for E-Health are often beyond the resource capacities of the developing countries. It is high time for international agencies to develop an efficient mechanism, as in the case of HIV and Malaria medicines, to make E-Health software and hardware affordable to the developing countries. Commonwealth Health Ministers meeting this year decided that Climate Change and Health will be theme for their meeting in 2009.
Hon. Minster informed the delegates that Ministry of Health of Sri Lanka in collaboration with the Commonwealth Foundation and Commonwealth Secretariat, has already planned to organize an International Pan Commonwealth Conference on Climatic Change and Health in Sri Lanka in early May 2009. He further informed the delegates that this conference will be a catalyst to sensitize the Commonwealth health ministers in preparation for its meeting later in May 2009.
The Conference organizers hope to bring key Civil Society organizations working in the areas of Health and Environment from Commonwealth, Asia, Africa the Caribbean and the Pacific as well as selected Government representatives from across the Commonwealth to attend the relevant sessions. The WHO and other partners as well as Ministers of Environment will be also be invited for this meeting. Minister further said that he is confident that this event will become the first of a sustained series of high level policy dialogues on climatic change and health across the Commonwealth.

Cables were down, so we brought up harnesses and some rope just in case. Prusik knot held just fine, and we had the summit to ourselves while the sub-dome was packed with people! | ||

sergejf | Cables route Date Climbed: May 25, 2009 | |
Left San Francisco around 9PM and drove all the way to the Yosemite park. Started hiking at 2:00am and went up Mist Trail. We saw some people coming back from God-knows-where. Thereafter the trail was empty until 7:00am. Hit the cables at 9:00am. Going up was fun but going down was an amazing blast despite the dozens of people jostling for space on that section of the trail. In total a 11-hour hike, with seemingly a million people on the trail in the afternoon! | ||

stamina | A Must For All-Mist Trail up-John Muir Down Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2008 | |
Left from Happy Isles parking at 0600 hrs with all The Usual Suspects. Took The Mist Trail up going up/past Vernal Falls and up to the top of Nevada Falls. The views are well worth the stairmaster work up this stretch. Shortley after this in Little Yosemite Valley is a prime spot to get more water from the Merced River. Kept churning up and reached the Stairs/North Face at 1100 hrs. Started the cables at 1130 but with quite a crowd. We were delayed for a while as there was a girl that was freaking out 3/4 up the cables to the summit. As she came past me going down I spread my arms across to catch her in the event of a fall as she did not look good (where the f*ck was her team), as her eyes looked possesed with fear. That said we made the summit at 1200 hrs. Views were awesome of El Cap, Clouds Rest/ the valley looking down 4800 ft and taking pics at The Prow with..wow....a lot of air standing next to the edge with Yosemite Valley 4800 ft below (these Brits were sitting back from the edge of The Prow (which is the edge of the universe of the Half Dome Summit), messing with me during this moment). Actually, the only summit I felt relatively safe as the weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky. Of course the descent was painful (half our team took the Mist down, and we took the John Muir Trail down.. a little easier on the knees) but made it back to Happy Isles car/cold beers at 1735 hrs. Yosemite is a magic place and should be visited by all. Just to be there, it is easy to understand John Muir's amazement at seeing this valley for the first time. Once again, Yosemite is a must see/explore/hike for all. | ||

tioga | Honeymoon Date Climbed: Oct 9, 2009 | |
While on my honeymoon to Yosemite, I climbed this with my new wife. She had climbed a number of years previously. Started around 6:30am and were on top around 11:00. Were finished around 3:30. It was pretty tiring, after the stress of the wedding. Yet, it was fun, especially with climbing up the cables. We used the Mist Trail both up and down, which made for a lousy descent, since the trail was very steep and crowded with waterfall viewers. | ||
Posted Oct 19, 2009 8:49 am |
Iron Hiker | One of the must-do USA hikes Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2009 | |
Ascended via the Cables, with a 4:15am start. This is the way to go, to avoid all the crowds in the afternoon! On top just before 9am and back in the Valley at 1pm. Had a very nice afternoon lounging around over a pizza at Curry Village afterwards.... Overall, not that difficult of a hike; the Cables are pretty decent if you've had some scrambling/rock climbing experience. | ||

Federal Environment Minister Jürgen Trittin intends extending the German government's future investment programme for the further development of renewable energies, which also includes solarthermics, beyond 2003. Speaking at the opening of a conference on high temperature solar thermic electricity generation, jointly organised by the Federal Environment Ministry and the ReconstructionLoan Corporation (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) and held in Berlin in mid-March, Trittin noted that Germany's research institutes and companies are world leaders in the development of solarpower stations. "We must use this opportunity to take the next step, developing installations which can be exported to countries along the sun belt. With the Government's help," he added, "solarpower stations will become Germany's export hit of the future. This will benefit both climate protection and the economy."
Under its investment in the future programme, the German Government will provide a total of 10 million Euro up to 2003 for research and development projects on solar thermal power stations. Fiveof these projects concentrate on the different available technologies, with possibilities ranging from parabolic trough technology to the so-called solar tower. Another project focuses on technicalassessment and promotes the introduction of solar power stations onto the market. The Federal Environment Ministry has invested a total of 30 million Euro in renewable energies research. JürgenTrittin believes that the investment in the future programme should be continued until at least 2006.
Solar thermal power stations use mirrors to concentrate sunlight. Electricity is generated from the resulting heat. For the operation of these plants to be economically viable, they are bestlocated in the Earth's hot, dry zones south of the 40th latitude (the so-called sunbelt). In theory, the desert regions of North Africa alone could cover the energy needs of the planet. AlthoughGermany cannot be considered as a location for solar thermal power stations, such plants can also play a role here in sustainable energy supply, for instance by using highly efficient systems forenergy transfer. The projects could be financed by implementing the flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol (e.g. emissions trading).

Q & A with Dwayne
Gearing up for national spotlight fights
We've put this off long enough. This Friday night the clash between fighters will be matched only by the battle of promotions across T-Town.
Winners will be decided in the ring or cage. Hands will be raised and after parties will rock. Losers will be consoled in the locker room. Wives and fiancés will offer a shoulder and more than likely, after parties will still take place.
The promotional matchup might be just as intriguing. However, there will likely be no clear-cut winner or loser. Xtreme Fight Night and King of the Cage will present Tulsa shows in the future. A dismal fan turnout may delay the next show for either, but neither is unlikely to give up on this hotbed.
According to hardrockcasinotulsa.com the Xtreme Fight Night event is almost sold out. The riverspirittulsa.com site indicates the KOTC show still has plenty of seating options available at this time.
White Belt
Can you tell me about the two shows taking place on Friday, September 21? Absolutely. Xtreme Fight Night 9 takes place inside The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The homegrown promotion is run by Dale Cook.
King of the Cage is a national promotion with local flair. Their show will be held at the River Spirit Event Center. Their cards feature a couple of local fighters in each city they visit.
How much are tickets to these events? The King of the Cage show lists tickets ranging from $40 to $70 at the River Spirit Event Center website.
The XFN event tickets list from $43 to $103. You can also obtain tickets directly from fighters on this card although it may be a little late for that option just days away from the fights.
Purple Belt
What are the main events? XFN 9 showcases Oklahoma State wrestling legend Jake Rosholt (12-4). The former All-American wrestler is clawing his way back to the UFC. He battles another former UFC fighter in Anthony "Rumble" Johnson (12-4).
KOTC features Tulsa's Josh "The Beast" Bryant (14-1). Bryant once starred on The Ultimate Fighter reality show. He goes for the middleweight championship against Sean Strickland (9-0).
Bryant hopes to fight a bit more regularly and pile up a few more wins. He only earned one fight in the UFC but a string of victories and he might get the call up. If you are not familiar with his fighting exploits then you have at least heard his guest spots on 92.1 The Beat's BMMS.
Which main event means more in the world of MMA? This is going to seem like a copout but here goes. Going in, the national media and fight fans across the nation care more about the Rosholt and Johnson matchup.
However, if Josh Bryant looks spectacular it could vault him into the spotlight once again. If Bryant wins in nondescript fashion or loses it will be a blip on the radar.
Is this like a boxing card or will additional fights of interest take place? Yes. Great question. XFN lists a 14-fight card consisting of mostly MMA fights with a couple of kickboxing and boxing bouts.
KOTC is scheduled to be a nine-fight card. All of their bouts will be standard MMA fights.
Black Belt
Aside from the main events, which fights or fighters should we pay attention to? Here is where it gets tricky. Admittedly I am more familiar with the fighters competing on the XFN card.
However, the semi-main event at KOTC features Kinny Spotwood (2-0). Spotwood is a former University of Tulsa defensive end. He is a big, athletic striker training out of Ghost Dog Boxing.
His last fight took place at the same venue under the same promotional banner. He fought a grizzly bear. Well that is not exactly true. The heavyweight battled what can only be described as a super heavyweight.
The fight was contested on their feet with Spotwood earning a decision. His next challenge is in the form of Cody East. East will test Spotwood's ground game and takedown defense. He is a former New Mexico wrestler who might not like the taste of Spotwood's glove.
On the other end of town we have several to choose from. The XFN card features local stars such as Andrew Todhunter, Levi Avera, Dylan Smith, Thomas Longacre, Jarrett Rouse and others.
The XFL welterweight championship is on the line when Levi Avera (17-11) defends his belt against Dylan Smith (8-4). This is a rematch. They fought to a close decision earlier this year.
Andrew "The Sniper" Todhunter (3-0) faces wily vet Brandon Gaines. While Gaines record does not impress (6-20) his huge experience advantage is a step up for Todhunter.
The ISKA middleweight kickboxing championship bout is fascinating. The next time Thomas Longacre has a boring fight will be a first. His opponent Maricio Navarro comes to fight so ring control will determine who gets off the most accurate power shots.
Is that it? Any other big news fight fans need to know about? This may be the pinnacle of combat sports this fall in Tulsa. However, just down the road in Oklahoma City a huge event begins to simmer.
STRIKEFORCE descends on the Chesapeake Energy Arena on November 3. A heavyweight championship matchup between fan favorite and burgeoning superstar Daniel Cormier takes on former UFC champion Frank Mir.
What does STRIKEFORCE CEO Scott Coker have to say about this matchup? "As a former Oklahoma State wrestler and two-time Olympian, Cormier has used his wrestling background to immediately put himself among the sport's elite. On November 3 he faces his toughest opponent to date in former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir, who has beaten legend after legend on his own path to the title. We've had a lot of big heavyweight bouts in the history of STRIKEFORCE, but I can tell you, without a doubt, that this is the one that you don't want to miss."
Should the promotion have chosen Tulsa over Oklahoma City? As Drake might say, every day.
Will more Tulsans end up filling the Oklahoma City venue than actual OKC'ers? Judging by the 2009 UFC show down the turnpike the answer is yes. Tickets are on sale now.
See you there? See you there.

Madeleine McCann detectives are asking for thehelp to identify a man they say is of "vital importance" and four men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences
Police seek man in Madeleine hunt
Detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are asking for the public's help to identify a man in an appeal they say is of "vital importance".
Two e-fit images, believed to be of the same man, which will feature in the BBC Crimewatch episode tonight, have been drawn up based on statements and descriptions from two different witnesses who saw this man in the Praia da Luz town area.
The sightings are from the evening of Thursday May 3 2007 – the night that Madeleine went missing.
Four arrested in terror probe
Four men are in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences.
The men were arrested yesterday evening under the Terrorism Act 2000 in a pre-planned intelligence-led operation in London involving armed officers.
They have all been taken to a south London police station, while six addresses across the capital are being searched, a Scotland Yard spokesman said.
No limit on China visitors
There is no limit on the number of Chinese tourists and students who can come to Britain, George Osborne has said.
The Chancellor, who is leading a trade mission in China, told students in Beijing his visit was about "much more than a collection of business deals".
Mr Osborne said he wanted to make it clear to the whole of China that there is no limit on trade with Britain or the number of Chinese people who can come to study or visit.
GM opposition is 'wicked': Minister
The Environment Secretary has hit out at "wicked" opponents of genetically modified (GM) crops.
In an interview with The Independent, Owen Paterson said members of the anti-GM lobby, which includes campaigners such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, were scuppering crucial nutrition programmes in the developing world.
Highlighting recent work by campaigners to sabotage a crop of "golden rice" – which is fortified to combat blindness and has the potential to save lives – Mr Paterson said opponents to GM were in fact risking lives.
Public to aid care home inspections
The new Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care has said she wants to recruit an army of ordinary people with personal experience of the care system to help carry out inspections.
Andrea Sutcliffe – one of three chief inspectors appointed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the watchdog body for England – said she wanted to tap the knowledge of "experts by experience", including relatives of people in care homes.
In an interview with The Independent, she said that she believed there would be no shortage of volunteers – who would be trained and paid for their time and expenses.
Abuse pair may have further victims
Two prolific paedophiles who groomed vulnerable teenage boys on the internet before filming their sexual abuse have committed "vile, horrendous offences", according to police who investigated the pair.
Anthony Marsh, 53, and Lee Davis, 39, used social networks such as Facebook and Bebo, as well as specialist gay websites, to befriend boys, South Yorkshire Police said.
And officers fear there may be more victims who have not yet come forward.
Over 100 dead in India stampede
More than 100 people are believed to have been crushed to death following a stampede at a religious festival in India.
Scores of others are being treated in hospital for injuries including broken bones after the incident, on a narrow bridge leading to a remote village Hindu temple yesterday.
Indian prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh said of the incident, in the Madhya Pradesh state of the country: "On this day of festivities, our hearts and prayers are with the victims and their families."
Teach 10 meals at school – Berry
All children should be taught to cook 10 full meals at school, according to the television chef Mary Berry.
Teachers should "blow the science of it" and go back to showing young people "what's good for them, how to buy it and how to make a few dishes that they enjoy and don't cost too much", she said.
Berry, who has written more than 70 cooking books and currently presents the Great British Bake Off, was speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival.
Girlfriend murderer to be sentenced
A man convicted of murdering his on-off girlfriend hours after raping a stranger will be sentenced at the Old Bailey today.
Marvin Samuels, 31, stabbed the mother of his young son 16 times and would have continued the frenzied attack if he had not hurt his hand, the Old Bailey heard last week.
Powerfully-built Samuels, of Stonebridge, north west London, was unanimously convicted by a jury of murdering Sharlana Diedrick, 32, on September 29 2012.
National Insurance cut plans launch
Ministers will today launch in the Commons plans to hand a £2,000 National Insurance cut to businesses and begin consultations on cutting slow payment of invoices.
David Cameron will mark the introduction of the National Insurance Contributions Bill with a tour of small businesses in the east of England, insisting the Government is keen to do everything it can to help firms succeed.
The tax cut is due to be in place by April next year and the Government said 90% of the benefit would be felt by firms with fewer than 50 employees.

The evolution has begun. Transcending the two-dimensional world of the flat pick, the Sik Pik moves into a new dimension of sound, dynamics, and feel. Here in the golden age of the guitar, it is time for a change. A change that allows the player to be more expressive, with less effort, more fluid with a better sound.
A sound that begins round and beautiful. A sound that begins with tremendous dynamic possiblities. The Sik Pik is to the guitar what the bow is to the violin.
Get a hold of the new technology, Sik Pik, it's twisted.

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Thomas Sowell on Obama's record and lack of criticism from the media and voters.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Next guest says instead of comparing President Obama -- governor Romney it's more revealing to compare Obama with.
Obama contrasting the -- Record vs his rhetoric starting with his pledge to -- more transparency in government.
Joining us tonight Thomas -- senior fellow the Hoover institution.
And after the recent -- trickle down theory and tax cuts for the rich and syndicated columnist.
Great to have you with -- Thomas let's start with.
-- love the idea of Obama be Obama because.
It is you.
Put it I mean the idea that transparency was going to open this government happened in something quite difference happens as.
Oh absolutely.
I think the classic -- the Obama care.
We're still far from being presented to the public for several days on the Internet as he said he would do.
Always felt rushed through congress so there's even the congressman.
Admitted they had had time to read it they just passed the -- -- ago.
One of many great contrast between what he said and who's gonna doing what he actually.
And and now -- -- there is at least in the offing.
The prospect of Obama be Obama be Obama should he when -- a second term.
How reliable is this man in doing what he says he's going to do in your judgment.
I think you're unity.
You know about a batting average if you took the opposite of what he said as what he was gonna do.
What's scary is if he -- -- active you'll probably have at least one and probably a couple of Supreme Court nominations may.
As -- -- said in his off the record comments to the Russian president and you know he will no longer have to face the voters again.
And so considering how willful he's been thus -- you imagine.
If feed that doesn't happen it hear what the -- -- anymore.
You do all kinds of things.
And I know no way to stop -- Short of impeachment or military coup you know as you Britain and the idea that this man.
Who seemed in in some respects through to embrace every facet.
And our constitutional republic.
I subway is ruling by fiat we're almost -- no comment.
From the national liberal media today it's it is stunning and there seems to be little reaction amongst the electorate.
I know as I T I can't they have any president in my lifetime.
With the possible exception of Franklin D.
Roosevelt early on -- who could do almost anything and they would be no complaints about it.
The sooner FBR you know by the 1940s.
Was getting a lot of heat from a lot of love a lot of sources.
But this -- seems to -- these -- Teflon.
That Teflon and you have written that also that.
-- Romney needs to understand very clearly.
That he's got to attack the the central charge of the Obama campaign.
And that is he's all about the rich at the expense of the pork he being wrong.
How should he respond to that charge.
First of all people should stop believing that when you raise tax rates on anybody ritual war.
That means you're gonna get more tax revenues.
There have been many cases -- 11997.
When they cut the capital gains tax for example.
And the amount of capital gains revenue that they receive the next four years went up.
From what the projections were put under the old rate for almost twice what the projections have been on the -- rate.
I mean people do not automatically pay -- over the tax rate is there are so many ways -- from.
Tax free municipal bonds to simply -- your money -- of the country's.
That there is Gloria molecular -- going to be inconvenienced by raising tax rates on.
-- will be hurt by the most will undoubtedly be the people who looking for jobs when the jobs have been driven out of the country to other countries.
Look to a state that the high tax rates and by -- I don't mean -- by historic stands I mean -- -- compared to what what they -- all the countries.
Thomas thanks for being here hope you'll come back soon good talking -- -- --

It is my first large canvas painting in a very long time and I am exited to be creating something in real medium for once besides quick studies. This is not the the most in focus picture but the best I managed to take without a tripod.I still have many many details to continue creating and more water effects and fish and clothing textures. I have learned so much already painting this and am exited to see what it will look like when I feel that it is complete.

"Another incredible value and full-throttle wine made from 100% Grenache.... This offering, from very old vines and aged completely in concrete, is a naked, unadulterated, unmanipulated effort with great minerality (from the chalky, limestone soils) and an intensity and richness (from the old vines) that are normally found in $50+ wines. As I told Eric Solomon, at these ridiculously low prices, consumers will never suspect the wines are at this level of quality. This outstanding 2011 offers loads of kirsch, raspberry, licorice, garrigue and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied and dense, it is best consumed over the next 2-3 years. A killer value, it is a custom cuvee made for Eric Solomon by proprietor Nuria Altes."

Version 2.5 of the ArduCopter code is now available in the AP Mission Planner and in the downloads area!
The default PIDs are optimized for a 3DR/Jdrones quad with 850 motors and 10" props. If you're using more powerful motors/props, start by turning down Rate Roll P in 25% steps.
While some testers have reported very good flights with the default PIDs, some have reported that this release is a little "sharper" due to the DCM improvements and have found they needed to:
reduce stabilize P by 10% (i.e. 4.5 -> 4.2)
reduce stabilize D by 30% (i.e. 0.15 -> 0.10)
increase rate D from 0 to 0.001
Tuning loiter can be tricky. Refer to the discussions which will appear below for more community feedback on what parameters work best.
Please post your feedback in this discussion. For enhancement requests and bug report, please add them to the arducopter issues list. When possible please include logs (tlog and/or dataflash) and tell us whether you're using APM1 or APM2 and what version of the software you're using (presumably 2.5 but tell us anyway!).
Thanks for this release go to the developers (both in the core team but also those who have provided bug fixes through the issues list) and also the community members who participated in the previous release thread and provided some great detailed information in the form of issue reports and logs which allowed us to nail some bugs!
I just upgraded my Y6 this morning using the Mission Planner. It said that I was loading 2.5.5. When I go to the Terminal tab it says 2.5.3. Did you forgot to change the display version number or do I still have 2.5.3 loaded? I want to make sure I have the correct firmware before I attempt to fly – please help.
If your board had the scaling issue, fly with caution on 2.5.5, I have 2 broken props and I was careful! You will need all new PID values.
Could you elaborate a bit Alex, please? Which PIDs have you had to change? Do you know what caused you to crash? Which air frame are you flying?
I'm flying a DIY tricopter. It makes sense that the PIDs will need to change since the sensor signals generate the error term which is multiplied by the Kp, Ki terms to determine the ESC outputs. If the sensor signals are reduced by half by the new scaling in 2.5.5, the PID terms will likely need to be doubled to compensate (I'm assuming this, but I haven't looked at the code to see what the correction was).
I left my PIDs alone and it felt OK in my hand, so I lifted off 2 inches in ACRO mode to check, props hit the ground. It's no biggie to me, my props are <$1 each, but others with $$$ airframes should be careful.
Thanks Alex that's a good point, I stuck to the same params on a DIY tri from 2.5.4 to 2.5.5 and all seemed pretty much the same, didn't try acro mode though, I'll give it a go when i have more space...
You mean when it stops raining?, might be a long wait, just checked the monthly forcast and it reckons much of the same for the next month :(
Sunshine! Yee haa!
And I've been flying my tri about in acro - in a 3*3 garden!!! Then nose-in hovering in stab. It's making me a better pilot this APM :)
I just tried it again Y6 load again and this is what I got.
Free Ram: 3455
FW Ver: 117
Has anyone successfully upgraded Y6 firmware using the APM Planner?
did you erase EPROM(terminal window - 3x enter - erase) before uploading new code?
It's fixed now. Looks like the Mission Planner was pointing to the old Y6 file and now it has been changed to point to the correct file. I loaded it this morning and will fly it in the next day or two.
I think that I found a glitch in the V2.5.5 Y6 firmware. I have a continual throttle glitch that causes my Y6 to surge up. I have tried everything, changed BECs, changed radios, changes ESCs. I finally took the board out of my quad and it does the same thing. This is a typical short flight.
All motors surge the same so it's not causing a crash but it is definitely scary.

Investing in kids' health
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
5 comments posted
Kids do better in school when they're well nourished. Their brains function better when they're physically active. So why don't all schools and childcare programs use these facts to their advantage? These two factors have a major impact on not only school performance but also on dollars saved — immediately in the school budget and long term in the cost of health care.
Kids who are well nourished, active and healthy are more likely to be in school and participating, which reduces the need to spend time helping kids catch up after sick days or addressing poor performance. Thus, teachers can make better use of the available time and resources.
Fewer sick days and better health also equate to savings in health care now and in the future. Consider, for example, that reducing childhood obesity now means fewer obesity-related chronic health problems in the future.
Kids need good role models, access to healthy foods and safe places to play. And many schools are rising to the challenge. The Healthier U.S. School Challenge is an initiative that recognizes schools that have created healthier environments through promotion of nutrition and physical activity. Another initiative, Action for Healthier Kids, targets schools with limited resources to help them provide students with opportunities to eat right and be active at school so they're ready to learn.
So how do you — parent, guardian, teacher, principal, food service worker, school board member, neighbor or interested community member — improve the bottom line for our kids? How do you give kids a healthy environment — at home, at school and in the community? Share your ideas here.

ScrapIron Prime, on 04 July 2012 - 08:11 AM, said:
The fact that MWO will feature a method by which all weight classes of mech remain viable in the face of all others is a vast improvement, and shows that thoughtful game design can be used to avoid the pitfalls common to other titles.
I'm amazed that people have concluded, merely on the words of the devs that all mechs will be viable and that the game won't be P2W because the devs said so. No one is ever going to say their game is P2W whether they intend it to be or not. No one is ever going to say that some class will be better than another. The proof will be in the actual game play. The road to hell or P2W is paved with good intentions.
That said I think they have a good plan, that's why I ponied up legendary Founder money. But then again I thought WoT had a good plan and that didn't turn out as they said or continue to say. People need to realize the game is in development and no one has seen the full release. It's all well and good to have faith the devs will get it right, it's silly to state these things like they're facts. Some people are going to be disappointed that the game doesn't match what the devs have promised pre launch. It always happens, like politicians, developers spin things or honestly don't see the issues with their own designs.
The staunchest defenders pre launch often become the most bitter folks afterwards since they believe too much pre launch hype. Perspective is your friend, take a step back and remember who's telling you how great things are going to be and what their angle is. If people who are planning on making money off of a project are telling you how great it's going to be sight unseen, well ....

- Product Details
VR3 Wheels by Rennen®. Standard Forged. Lightweight one-piece and multi-piece forged, performance wheels with modern and up-to-the-minute styling for the extreme enthusiast, with wheel designs with special attention to very fine details.
The Rennen Forged collection includes a number of high-style designs with exquisite attention to detailing and finish. These families include the Step Lip Concave series, HL Concave Series, Standard Concave Series, Standard Forged Series and Monolicht Concave Series. Check the Product options for a list of available forgings to fit your vehicle.
Every Rennen Forged wheel begins with a grade A 6061-T6 aluminum billet cut and put into a 10,000 Ton Forging Press to forge the center disks or one-piece Forged Wheels. The result of the forging process is 6061 aluminum material with a completely refined grain structure, which allows the wheels to be both lightweight and extremely durable. These materials are mainly used in aerospace manufacturing to attain the highest levels of tolerance and quality control. Quality materials are the beginning of a quality product. Once the raw center disk forgings are manufactured the three piece rim halves are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances through CNC spinning of 6061aluminum alloy. 6061 aluminum sheets are spun-formed on a CNC lathe to achieve absolute trueness and run-out quality; this process eliminates all vibration complaints experienced from aftermarket wheels. All of our multi-piece wheels are then hand assembled by our SEMA wheel and tire certified technicians, and hand-torqued for accuracy. Every set of wheels comes with a certification of quality and a runout report to ensure the trueness of each wheel.
- Multi-piece cast aluminum alloy
- Lip size may vary depending on the size of the wheel
- All wheels are custom made for each customer and are therefore Non-Cancelable and Non-Returnable
- Wheel orders cannot be cancelled after the manufacturing process has begun (usually 24 to 48 hours after order is placed)

I just watched this video about 5 minutes ago. it turned me into a believer. and as somebody that is gonna try and support this I thought I should share this with the people on 11w. i don't really have time to explain to you what it's about but just trust me, a fellow Ohio state fan. and I know it's not Ohio state or football but when youre watching this, take 30 minutes out of your day and pay attention to this. this is some serious s*** that needs to be taken care of. it'll change the way you think I promise. thank you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
My roommate and I just watched this. The group that started this movement should be applauded, but in the end it won't do anything. Look at how long it took us to nab Usama bin Laden. We only committed 100 advisors to the aid of the Ugandan military and to help them in the tracking and capturing of this guy and his 5 upper level cronies. Instead of wasting the capital on this pointless endeavor that will become another decade long manhunt, you send out a small cell and eliminate the guy. The Israeli's have done it with great success for decades. Don't dick around with the ICC and their bureaucratic processes, eliminate the guy and his cronies.
Edit: I shouldn't say it won't accomplish anything, the public awareness of this issue has grown exponentially due to the group's endeavors. My point is instead of waiting on the ICC and Ugandan military to capture and bring this man to trial, send out a small cell to eliminate him now.
It's amazing to me the "bad guys" the world will try to stop and the ones they leave to be free. Everyone knows about Sadam, Bin Laden, and guys like Milosevic, but hardly anyone could tell you who Kony or guys like Forday Sanko and Charles Taylor were and how many people died as a result of their actions. I wrote a paper for a history class about Sierra Leone and the decade of civil war they had. The research I did to write the paper actually had me in quite a funk for a long long time. I won't say depression, just a real sick feeling about the world we live in. The stories were horrible. Seems like unless there is something to be gained by going after some of these bastards, the rest of the world doesn't care.
I'm all for stopping him but this country would change their mind and start complaining about 2 weeks after we went over there. We like to talk about doing what is right but don't like the consequences of doing what it right.

The US sent 100 'military advisors' to Uganda last October. Congress signed into law a bill aimed to remove Kony from power in 2010. Public awareness is great, but it's not like the powers-that-be are unaware.
Anyone considering donating needs to also read this:
I support awareness, but not charity profiteering.
@BuckeyeW I've that article and another one as well. The Invisible Children group is a group for raising awareness and just that. Which is what I said they should be applauded for, not their efforts to actually help increase the lives of the children who have been kidnapped and militarized. The fact that IC made over 8.6 million last year and only 31% went to active aid is shady. Then again Kony hasn't been present in Uganda since 2006, and our deployment of 100 military advisors to Uganda has been inefficient to put it nicely. Kony should be eliminated, but there is much more to worry about on the African continent, like the stabilization of most of their economies as well as the increase in sanitation for their constituents. That continent has a LONG way to go as a whole.
/end rant
This stuff is incredibly lame. Readers of this site don't delve into the comments section of an incredibly specific website like this to be bombarded with the world saving causes we see all day on our crappy facebook newsfeeds. If the comments section turns into political crap after the primaries are done I'm gonna flip. This site is my escape from the nonsense I'm being fed in the rest of the world 24/7, even the sports sites. If not always about Ohio State, at least leave it about football. Take your donation trolling elsewhere.
First off, let me say that I do not in any way support Kony and would like him to be brought to justice just as much as the next person, but I am a bit sketpical of the presentation and the organization.
1) The organization uses a Cayman Island bank account. Suspect.
2) Kony is no longer in Uganda, yet the film creator continues to use Uganda as a central theme in the documentary. Kony left Uganda in 2005 and did not "expand," but rather has been on the run after the war charges were brought against him. He's more or less fleeing to live and not expanding his army.
3) Many lawmakers came out today saying there were no plans to pull the 100 U.S. advisors in Africa. It's like IC got paranoid because they didn't catch Kony right away, so they want to drub up all of this public awareness, but their goal was already met over a year ago. Why is this documentary just now coming out?
4) 2012...has to be. Really? WTF? Is the mission a failure if they capture him in 2013? Kinda weird.
5) Sort of going off of point 3, but does thousands of re-tweets of "KONY 2012!" really help? Their goal was met, I don't quite understand the need to plaster it over every social media possible except to educate people on him. Still, I'm not going to call my senator or representative to make sure they don't pull the advisors out of Africa when there is no indication they are going to do so.
6) I'm not sure why, but I found the use of the director's son a little distateful. Probably just personal opinion but I feel like the kid is getting exploited.
7) Several people from Uganda have tweeted that Kony is not their biggest problem, it's things like diseases (some of which are not curable) and poverty. The film portrays Kony as the biggest problem in Uganda and that all other issues will subside if he's gone, but it's simply not true.
Again, not a Kony fan whatsoever, I just think this hype is out of proportion. Kony isn't strengenthing, he's out of Uganda (just wish Uganda wasn't a main point in the film), and there were no threats to pull out the U.S. advisors. Seems like IC got all paranoid about nothing, or were upset that he wasn't caught yet and chose to make a film about it. I don't know, maybe it's just me being skeptical.
Before you all jump on the bandwagon, read both sides. Invisible Children refuses to be independently audited and has been descibed as "dangerous" by a professor political scientist at Yale. Propaganda comes in many forms, so don't just listen to one side. The government has done something about it, but we can't just invade Uganda and kill him. The others side is explained here, with sources from many sites: http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/qm349/why_the_kony_documentary_and_invisible_children/
Best parts:
Secondly, I would like to address the highly inaccurate content of your video. Your video did not leave the viewer any more knowledgeable about the conflict in Uganda, but only emotionally assaulted. I could not help but notice how conveniently one-sided the "explanation" in your video was. There was absolutely no mention of the role of the Ugandan government and military in the conflict. Let alone the role of the U.S. government and military. The only information given is "KONY MUST BE STOPPED."
As Chris Blattman, a political scientist at Yale, writes on the topic of IC's programming, "There's also something inherently misleading, naive, maybe even dangerous, about the idea of rescuing children or saving of Africa. […] It hints uncomfortably of the White Man's Burden. Worse, sometimes it does more than hint. The savior attitude is pervasive in advocacy, and it inevitably shapes programming. Usually misconceived programming."
A new requirement for sharing the Kony video: http://i.imgur.com/f5kWl.jpg
I mean, IC came to my school last year, which was cool. They played a similar 6 minute video (which was all used in the 30 minute one) and sold stuff. They have good intentions, but you've got to see both sides of the story. I agree, he must be stopped, but inciting emotional, viral explosion leads to extreme overreaction.
I mean, it's not like anyone in America can possibly support his actions, but realize that IC may not be taking the best route for it. The government has already taken action:
In May 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law the Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act,[21] legislation aimed at stopping Kony and the LRA. The bill passed unanimously in the United States Senate on March 11. On May 12, 2010, a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was agreed to by voice vote (two-thirds being in the affirmative) in the House of Representatives.[22] In November Obama delivered a strategy document to Congress, asking for more funding to disarm Kony and the LRA.[23] In October 2011, Obama authorized the deployment of approximately 100 combat-equipped U.S. troops to central Africa.[24] Their goal is to help regional forces remove Kony and senior LRA leaders from the battlefield. "Although the U.S. forces are combat-equipped, they will only be providing information, advice, and assistance to partner nation forces, and they will not themselves engage LRA forces unless necessary for self-defense," Obama said in a letter to Congress.[citation needed]

I watched the film on youtube and I just get the feeling that the filmmaker is pretty intent on playing off of the "Occupy Movement" (see many losers who should be embarassed), and using that to perhaps indoctrinate the younger generation and take advantage of that with a political movement ... it just seems political to me ... a whole flavor or protest to it or something ... I don't know what it is exactly, it could be the whole "has to be done in 2012" thing ... something a little strange and forced

This is the "anything else" section. The mod said it was okay, so it's okay. If you don't like something, don't read it-simple as that.
Thanks for posting this.
So you're saying we can't talk about national college football? Or Xbox 360? Or golf? Or ponies? Or other conferences? Or violations outside of the B1G? This is "off topic land", meaning not football, basketball, site stuff, non-revenue sports or a ticket market. To say "Ohio State and B1G stuff only" is silly. Hmmmmmmmmm.
Political talk=Ban Hammer. As Recruitbuck has just pointed out, KONY absolutely qualifies as political. It was very touching, but worthwhile or not, I come here for Buckeye sports, or Buckeye 'anything else'. Don't want Kyle banned, but try posting on facebook or myspace or whatever else does it for your social causes. How about that Buckeye basketball game tonight?!?!?!?!!?
This is kind of gray area. Since the mod (RBuck) says it was okay, I'm not sure there's any banhammering that's going to happen. I mean it is kind of apolitical-no real human could condone Kony's (which apparently is pronounced "cone" fwiw) actions.
I come here for Buckeye sports, or Buckeye 'anything else'.
Well sorry, the off topic forum is for things other than the Buckeyes.
If you don't like it, don't read it. RBuck said it was okay, so I guess it's okay. Jason, if you see this, could you comment?

The no political talk rule is largely in place to prevent DEM vs GOP bloodbaths in the comments, which would drive me nuts.
This is an off-topic forum and the guy is a war criminal. I don't have a problem with stuff like this and I think as long as we stay away from US political talk, we're good.
If things get out of hand in a Tory vs Labour debate some day, I may come to regret this, but for now, we should be okay.

Jun 30, 2013A beatiful picture of a man who doens't belong anymore to this world. Photography as its finest, fine cast, plot well written and a (kinda) slow pace that just fit perfectly for this show. Can't wait for season two
Jun 20, 2013Can't praise it enough. Exquisitely shot. Exceptionally written and Aden Young is just extraordinary. Best series I have seen. Hands down. Rectify for the WIN!
May 21, 2013
May 20, 2013Best new show that I have seen in a long time. Shows that mistakes were made 20 years ago and that the town still believes that Daniel is guilty if only in their own mind. Same as the West Memphis 3.They were all wronged.

May 4, 2013I have watched only one episode and I am already hooked. This is exactly the type of show I love. One that has a very compelling story with deep history of the characters that will be revealed as time passes. I was engrossed and moved. What more can anyone ask for........
May 3, 2013Rectify is like one of those wonderful pieces of art that is arresting with its beauty, but filled with enough heart and depth that you'll find yourself staring inward as well.
Apr 30, 2013This is a mesmerizing and engrossing story that captured me right from the first episode. It raises all kinds of questions and thoughts about someone missing 20 years on the outside. Very thought provoking; we need more of this kind of programming. Have seen 3 can't wait for the next 3. Bravo to the writers, producers, directors and fine cast.
Apr 30, 2013Simply wonderful. Brilliantly crafted characters with realistic flaws, beautifully shot and masterfully acted. Rectifty might be the best new show this year.
Apr 28, 2013
Apr 27, 2013Somehow I've found myself six episodes in and this sucker is really heating up. From premise to development, this show is captivating and intelligent. Not just a study of small town revenge and hate but a much more broad peek into what we all fear most; ourselves when confronted by something new and uncertain. This show is going to be great.
Apr 27, 2013Captivating, Suspenseful, Brilliantly Crafted and Wonderfully Acted. Very rare to come across such a quality show that moves at a nice pace and always keeps you interested. The mystery and the journey of the lead character is what is really engrossing.
Apr 26, 2013
Apr 26, 2013This show is really good. The acting is great and the plot is a little slow but incredibly well-written.
This is one of the best shows this year and I would highly recommend it to everyone.
It's everything I have expected from such an amazing writers and producers.
It's a breathtaking work of immense beauty and a thought-provoking meditation on the nature of crime and punishment, of identity and solitude, of guilt and absolution. It is, quite simply, the best new show of 2013.
[Rectify] feels damply airless--the tension might be ripped open at any moment by a thunderclap of revelation.... It's a disturbing, impressive performance [from Aden Young as Daniel]. [13 May 2013, p.49]
The good news is that this contemplative, utterly engrossing and frequently gorgeous character study achieves and then surpasses both of those goals [justify the network's foray into the field while living up to the Sundance brand] over the course of its initial six episode season.

Have your agronomic questions answered by a Farm Journal agronomist. E-mail us directly at email@example.com, and we'll respond on this blog to provide an interactive dialogue.
Question: I had some volunteer soybeans in my corn this year that I think affected my yield outcome. Next spring I plan to take a wait-and-see approach to address them if the problem shows up again. Got any recommendations?
Answer: If volunteer soybean shows up in your corn next season, consider these postemergence control measures, outlined by Darrell Deneke, South Dakota State University (SDSU) Extension IPM coordinator. He says soybean size at the time of herbicide application will determine the degree of control you get. As is true for most all weeds, smaller volunteer soybeans are easier to control than larger ones. Try to get on top of any problem before volunteer soybeans exceed the V3 growth stage. Using 2,4-D to control volunteer soybeans is one option, he says, though SDSU research shows that soybeans are not as sensitive to 2,4-D as they are to other plant-growth regulator herbicides, such as dicamba or clopyralid. The plant-growth regulator herbicides, such as Hornet, contain clopyralid and should provide effective control to smaller soybeans. He adds that products that contain dicamba, such as Status, Distinct and numerous generics, will provide effective control over a wider range of volunteer soybean growth stages. As always, read all product labels for application directions and to insure the herbicide you plan to spray is labeled for use in your state.
Beans Gone Bad
Move over waterhemp, ragweed, lambsquarters and all your weedy friends. There's a new rabble-rouser in cornfields this season: volunteer soybeans.
What Tool Do I Need For Vertical Tillage?
Question: What kind of tool do I need for vertical tillage?
Answer: There is no single tool that works for vertical tillage. One of the first things I always tell farmers is that vertical tillage is a system, not a one-season tillage pass or a single tool. It can take you a couple of years to transition to a true vertical tillage system. Before you buy any tool you need to think about what you're trying to gain from using a vertical tillage system. One of the best goals you can set is trying to achieve uniform soil density. That uniformity can help you develop a good quality seedbed, which is crucial for uniform corn emergence and high ear counts. Evaluate whether you have density layers or compaction problems in your soils. If so, at what depth? Your answer matters because it influences the type of tool you will use to correct those problems. At 4" deep you can go in with a variety of tools to remove a density layer. If it's at 12" deep, though, you will need a more specific tool to accomplish that. Consider your residue needs before purchasing vertical tillage equipment. For instance, if you're in continuous corn, you need to select a tool to get rid of rootballs and incorporate more residue. If you have deep density layers but don't need the residue, you can use something like a disk ripper, which is designed to go deeper than a chisel plow. If you have shallow layers and don't need a lot of residue, then you can run a chisel plow. If you have deep density layers but need a lot of residue, you probably can go with an inline ripper type tool. On highly erodible soils, you need less aggressive tools. Primary vertical tillage tools include chisel plows, disk rippers and inline rippers. Other tools are better suited to leveling fields, such as harrows and coulters, which prepare the final seedbed. Whatever your final decision, make sure you consider your soil residue needs and how deep your density layers run before buying any of these tools.
Tillage: Dig Deep, Go Vertical Remember how you were told as a kid to not judge a book by its cover? That same advice applies to evaluating vertical tillage.
Key Steps in a Transition to Vertical Tillage Ken Ferrie reminds farmers that vertical tillage is a system—not just one tool. Switching your tillage system can be a challenge, but using better management for your soil can led to higher yields. When not done correctly, however, Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie cautions that the transition's risk can outweigh the reward.
Question: I was really disappointed in my marestail control in soybeans this season, using a combination of glyphosate and 2,4-D. I'd appreciate any advice you can offer for next year.
Answer: You weren't alone. A lot of farmers had the same issue. Aaron Hager, University of Illinois Extension weed scientist, says soybean growers in the state saw an abundance of marestail for a couple of reasons. For one, inclement weather conditions when spring burndown herbicides were applied minimized control results. Second, the spread of glyphosate-resistant populations in the U.S. is making marestail more difficult to stop in its tracks.
Furthermore, marestail plants can produce an abundance of seed, up to 200,000 per plant. The individual seeds spread readily from field-to-field, Hager notes, because the plant's design is adapted to wind movement. "If you have them in one field, chances are if they were able to make seed they'll move within that field or out of that field to infest other geography or fields that perhaps never had the problem before," he says.
Bill Johnson, Purdue University Extension weed scientist, says his research during the past two years shows that farmers need to use multiple steps to control marestail in soybeans, especially herbicide-resistant species. "Two-shot burndown programs which include either two shots in the spring or fall plus spring burndown treatments are needed in areas with a history of poor marestail control due to glyphosate and ALS-herbicide resistance," notes Johnson.
Hager agrees and encourages farmers to start their marestail control practices this fall with an application of 2,4-D (1.0 lb. acid equivalent per acre), which can be applied through late November. Additional herbicides can be included in the tankmix, he says, to increase the number of winter annual species controlled.
Hager cautions that fields populated by marestail and treated with fall-applied herbicides won't necessarily be free of the weed next spring. His advice: "Scout fall-treated fields before spring planting and plan to use supplemental herbicides and tillage to control any existing marestail plants. Do not plant soybeans into an existing marestail population," he adds. "Apply residual herbicides close to planting time to control summer annual species, including spring-emerging marestail."
A Geographical Look at Weed Problems
Some weeds are prevalent in only certain areas of the country, while others seem to be everywhere. More than 1,500 farmers and ranchers shared their views in last week's Farm Journal Pulse. The question was: What is your most significant weed problem? Waterhemp tops the list with 30% of respondents saying it was a problem. Marestail/horseweed was a close second with 22% of the votes.
Control Winter Weeds for Better Crops, Earlier Planting
Weather cycles of cold temperatures, abundant rain and short spurts of warmer, sunny days have allowed weeds such as chickweed, purple deadnettle, henbit, wild garlic, dandelions and marestail to flourish in the last few weeks.
Strategies to stay ahead of glyphosate resistance
Marestail is confirmed resistant to glyphosate, and Palmer pigweed also appears to be resistant.
It's a good idea to pull soil samples from the field every two years, Farm Journal associate field agronomist Missy Bauer says in Episode 12 of Corn College TV Season 3. "That helps us keep pretty consistent on keeping up with the lime needs or the pH levels in the field as well as your overall P and K levels or micronutrients in these fields," Bauer says. Follow five steps when taking those samples:

Ways to Improve Soil Health
These tips will keep your fields producing at their highest potential, Farm Journal associate field agronomist Missy Bauer tells Corn College TV Season 3.
Question: I am taking over some very sloping and hilly ground for next year and can't make up my mind if I want to rip it this fall for fear of erosion. The previous farmer chopped corn on it for silage consecutively for about 10 years. I have ran the chisel plow a couple passes, just to see what kind of condition the soil is in, and it is really dry. I am not getting very good shatter at all. There are standing stalks on the ground right now but very little trash in-between rows, due to the chopper taking the stalks and all. My question is should I rip the ground this fall, then run through it with a field cultivator in the spring and risk soil erosion over the winter? Or, do I wait until spring and rip it and cultivate it right before I plant? I am in north-central Indiana.
Answer: It's difficult to give you a straight-out answer, without seeing your ground, so here are a few considerations for you to evaluate. First, are your soils able to handle spring ripping or chiseling? Where I'm based we can do primary tillage in the spring, because our soils contain a lot of sand. I don't know if you're far enough north in Indiana that your fields can handle the spring tillage, but if they can I'd wait until then. Another consideration is it sounds like you have some significant soil-health problems and maybe a lot of compaction, too. I'm concerned you won't get good water infiltration in your soils during the fall and winter, and you could have a lot of erosion problems. That would be another reason to do spring, primary tillage. However, on heavy ground I wouldn't do primary tillage in the spring, because the soil will be too wet and primary tillage will result in you bringing up a lot of clumpy soil, which is going to be a problem when you get ready to plant. One other thing I'd recommend, if you want to do something this fall, you might consider renting an inline ripper and running it 12-14" deep, and that will leave almost all your residue on the surface. Running the inline ripper this fall and then coming back in the spring with primary tillage would probably help you address the deep compaction you're seeing.
Tillage: To Do or Not To Do Farm Journal's Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie discusses the proper uses of tillage in Episode 10 of Corn College TV Season 3. Just because you have chosen tillage in the past does not mean that it is needed every season. The first step is to identify why you are doing it. Start with asking yourself what you're trying to accomplish and find a procedure that will accomplish that--which may or may not lead to tillage.
