Delayed but not deterred!
As April begins, it appears we are going to get a late start to spring fieldwork. This is not shaping up to be a catastrophic year, except in the Red River valley of the north, but farmers get nervous at any sign of delay in planting or harvesting operations. Since fall, the cropland of America's midsection has seen it all: from drought to flood with ice and snow mixed in. In other words, it has been a normal year.
The salvation in all of this is the spirit of the farmer. No matter what nature sets up, he or she will find a way to plant a crop within the narrowest window of opportunity. The size of tillage and planting tools would be viewed as extreme if it weren't for the track record of planting millions of acres in a single day of sunshine and warmth. The corn planters of the Midwest now span up to 120 feet! That makes one capable of covering 90 to 100 acres per hour. It seems ridiculous to create anything this large but that was said about the first 12-row planter (30 feet wide) when it emerged. The only restriction now is that the planter has to be smaller than the field. Managing it is done with satellite precision and computer software, even to the point that it won't plant over land it has already covered.
But the machine is really secondary to the farmer. The determination to succeed in getting the crop in the ground borders on obsession. "You just have to stay out of his way until the crop is in," has been stated to me many times by relatives and friends of determined growers. For some, the desire to plant is an economic force but, for many, it is fulfillment of soul and spirit. It is a call of the season, with an even deeper cultural basis. Honor, dignity and self-worth are all wrapped up in the dropping of the seed.
In the 1980s, I traveled to the Soviet Union as an agricultural reporter and had the chance to see the vast fields of the interior regions. The farms were controlled by the state and each village had a single purpose--to produce food. Yet their spirit was not in their work. The government land was tilled, planted and harvested as the seven hour workday unfolded. Yet the same people came back to their small plots and worked until dark to tend that which they personally possessed. It was clear to me, as a capitalist, what they were doing but, to themselves and their government, the reality of human inclination was lost. Their slogan was: "We pretend to work and you pretend to pay us." Yields on the farms were low, losses were high and land stood unproductive--something that does not happen here except in the worst of circumstances.
It amazes me that in an era of greater insulation from loss through crop insurance, government disaster programs and even food aid, the farmer is as determined to succeed as his great grandfather who lived in a pioneer society with only himself to depend upon. The culture fosters this but those who prevail, in an industry with an ever shrinking number of commercial operators, seem to be selected for their do or die mentality. Once we see fields set idle and witness landowners collecting payments without shame or remorse, we will know farmers have become wards of the state and only pretend to work to receive their subsidy. It doesn't appear to me that will be initiated by the farmer, so it will have to be instituted by the government.
Free enterprise has to remain free. Freedom to fail has to be the greater part of capitalistic behavior. Hope for the future is a human trait that has to be cultivated. Our agricultural system is not satisfied to just survive but sees its strength in being able to prevail, even in adverse conditions.
So, as you prepare for this annual dance with Mother Nature, remember that generations past and future are counting on you. Our most important defense against hunger, economic uncertainty, political strife and government instability is the seed you plant in season.
Thank you!

Here's a great high end road bike for shorter women or kids! It has 650c (26 inch) wheels and an extra small 49cm frame. It was custom built for a woman that was 5 foot tall. It may fit someone roughly 4ft 10 to 5ft 3. The frame is high end steel, for a reliable, cushy, and quick ride. It features STI shifters, a great 105/600/XT 16 speed drivetrain, a high end carbon fork, and solid Rolf wheels. The saddle is a women's specific Terry Butterfly with a large cutout. The whole package weighs 20.3 pounds with inexpensive platform pedals. It is geared for hills, with a 11-30t cassette and standard double crank.Frame details: I believe this is an early 2000's frame. Serotta frames are handbuilt in Saratoga Springs NY, and are custom built to order to the highest specs. This frame is made from their signature C4S steel, which is double butted and swagged for a super stiff yet supple ride. This bike is a joy to ride, and will last for decades with proper care.Condition: Great shape overall. The paint is nice and glossy with only a few minor scratches. There is a 2mm paint chip at the rear of the top tube, a few minor chips on the bottom of the downtube, and some minor chainslap scratches. Nothing else worth noting. NO dents, rust, gouges, cracks, bends, etc. The components are all in excellent functional condition, with some scratches. Wear items (chain, cassette, chainrings, tires (new rear tire), brake pads, cables in great shape with lots of life left. Brand new bar tape. Fork in excellent shape.Dimensions:

Make Bird Friends for the Winter

A special thanks goes out to Dan for continuing to share some amazing photographs.
While we're thankful for friends and loved ones this time of the year, it's important to not forget about our flying friends. Before the really cold weather arrives, setting up a feeding station for birds (and other outdoor pals) can not only attract flocks to your property, but can create a go-to destination for them in the coming months.
As the weather gets colder, birds are required to eat more to stay warm and fit. This is especially the case as food, like berries and insects become harder to find. Once snow falls more regularly and the ground becomes frozen, it's even harder for birds to feed.
Even though Thanksgiving has come and gone, keep the birds in mind. Share a little food with them and they may grace you with their presence for a long time to come.

Nov 29, 2012The voice acting is all wonderfully done, especially Death. He's such a great character and is very funny throughout the game, especially in the way he deals with some of the side-quests that characters give him. If you already own the game, there's very little incentive to picking up the Wii U version, but if you've held off or never had the means to buy it until now, I highly recommend the purchase.
Nov 28, 2012The Wii U version of Darksiders 2 won't revolutionize the way players were usually playing. Having the entire HUD on the GamePad is pleasant but the navigation is not as good as it should be. Moreover, the different moves that need to be done with the motion controls are not really intuitive. And yet, despite these few minor problems, Darksiders 2 is still fun to play, especially with the new "remote play" function brought by the Wii U version.
Dec 13, 2012This version of Darksiders II is nearly identical to the ones released on the PS3, 360 and PC in Auguest. While the Wii U version doesn't offer many innovations, it does come with all of the currently available DLC. The GamePad makes little difference to the gameplay, and though it's fun to have maps and inventory items ready and in front of you at all times, I still preferred to play with the standard controller. It's a great game, perfect for anyone who likes a good action-RPG.
Nov 25, 2012All that said, if you have already taken Death's journey, there is little reason to come back for seconds. Darksiders II is a great game, but once is more than enough here. I am still dealing with side quests and DLC from the original 360 version personally, so unless you skipped it altogether, there is no single feature that makes this worthy of a double dip. Wii U owners that have yet to embark on the series should definitely check it out. It is a massive game that will last you upwards of 50 hours to complete. As a launch title, that is impressive.
Jan 14, 2013In the end, the Wii U version of Darksiders II is almost exactly like the other console versions. The added control options are nice but don't give Wii U owners a large advantage over their brethren.
Jan 2, 2013A fantastic start to the Wii U's more mature library, this is grim, gritty and, most importantly, hugely enjoyable to play, especially if you're a Zelda fan.
Dec 7, 2012This makes Darksiders II's bugs gamebusters. The bugs are so prevalent, the freezes such a problem, that I would only recommend the game to those willing to risk the wear and tear on their brand new hardware by having to unplug it regularly; this cannot be good for the Wii U's processors and hard drive.

Nov 25, 2012Definitely the definitive version of this game... graphics seem slightly better to me on the wii u over the ps3, and it all runs silky smooth. While the gamepad is not implemented a ton, the things that is used for (like inventory management) really do help with the gameplay. This is all-around the best version of an already-incredible game, and something you have to buy if you are into action/adventure games… Expand

Aug 9, 2013WiiU Edition.This game was a real surprise. The style is great, and the characters are awesome. The bosses were epic and plentiful. I loved the voice acting, and the music/sound. Great adventure/RPG with just the right amount of puzzle. The graphics are good, and smooth despite reviews i read about occasional screen tearing. I never had any of that, it played great all the way through. i did run into a few glitches, but nothing that wasn't solved by reloading the last autosave/save.
This game would have gotten a 10 out of me, if it wouldn't have had those glitches(due to poor porting i'm assuming), and if the weapons system was more refined and simplified. A lot of useless weapon drops, however i guess thats not really a downside for some.… Collapse
Jan 6, 2013An excellent game with magnificently crafted puzzles and action, as well as being large enough to keep you entertained for many hours, easily pushing the content-price ratio in favour of the consumer. The GamePad is utilised enough to be useful, and doesn't force you to look down any more than you would like to in an adventure game. Bugs caused me to have to reset the console on numerous occasions, but seeing how vastly huge this game is, the number of bugs is easily forgivable. An overall beautiful game brimming with content and awe-striking detail. This is a must-have game in your Wii U library.… Expand
Nov 7, 2014I love the gameplay, and the histry is fantastic and the graphics too, have a principal history and some secondary quest that made a great game, but the only wrog is that contain a lot of bugs, but I feel very happy with this game ;)… Expand
Sep 23, 2014This game is a button masher with an elementary leveling system and basic platforming puzzles. The game is wide but shallow, as if the developers decided to move on to different aspects of the game without finishing the aspect there were currently working on. I had high hopes for this based on reviews but I'll be returning it soon. The game looks and sounds good, but the gameplay quality just isn't there for me. There is nothing here that hasn't been done better in other games, and I lost interest within 10 hours.… Expand

The Hunger: A True Story of Anorexia
When Maura Kelly's mother died and her family came unglued, she found a way to cope but it nearly killed her too.
By Maura Kelly
The woman pictured is not the author.
Photo Credit: Lauren Greenfield/VII
It was in the eight grade four years after my mother died that I first remember becoming unhappy with my body. Every night, after brushing my teeth and squeezing some blackheads, I'd look in the mirror and pound on my abdomen with my fists. Although I know now that it was just an early sign of puberty, I was disgusted by the way my belly had begun to protrude under the band of my underwear. So I got the idea to make it disappear by losing five pounds, then 10, and then 15. Pretty soon I was addicted to losing.
It's a control thing, doctors say, and in my case that was all too true: I needed to organize a world that had been thrown into chaos after my mother died. Her death had come as a complete shock to me; she'd never told me she had cancer, or that she was dying. And with her sudden disappearance, all the things that I'd trusted as absolutes all the other foundations of my life began to crumble.
I couldn't believe in God anymore, not when I'd been such an incredibly dedicated little Catholic and all I got in return was a vicious punishment. What kind of system was that? I couldn't believe in my earthly father, a construction-working Irish immigrant who'd become angry, depressed, and dysfunctional a sad version of the charismatic and fun-loving dad I once knew. I couldn't believe in my own worth anymore, either. Catholicism had set some deep grooves in my soul, and even if I'd rationally given up on God, it was impossible to free myself from the magical thinking that goes along with religious zealotry: Deep down, I thought I must be damned if my mother had been taken away from me. Flawed, cursed, worthless. That was me.
Dieting became a way of imposing an external value system on my flesh: If I could control myself enough to lose another pound, I was that much closer to good. I hoped I could redeem myself.
That Fall, I started my freshman year at an all-girls Catholic high school, and kept chiseling away at myself, trying to purify my soul through the transformation of my body. By October, I was subsisting on almost nothing about 250 calories a day. I'm amazed I had the energy to get up and go to school every day, let alone keep up with varsity soccer practice. But despite how uncomfortable my body was I was exhausted and freezing because I had no body fat my mind felt better than ever. If dieting was my new religion, I was on my way to becoming a saint.
The skinnier I got, the harder it was to keep the adults around me from noticing, although I did everything I could to hide my body. I'd spend lunch hour in the library. I'd change for soccer practice in the bathroom, instead of in the locker room with everyone else. I'd wear extra layers under my school uniform and baggy clothes at home not that they did much to quell my father's growing suspicions.
He and I seemed to do nothing but scream at each other. Our fights almost always reduced me to sobs which just induced him to get louder. "Why are you crying? I wish I could cry," he'd taunt. "But what would happen to us if I lay down and cried? This family would fall apart!" I'd despise myself for being a baby, but the more I hated myself, the harder it was to stop my tears.
Our fights often began over the news headlines, like abortion and capital punishment. On the surface, those clashes were political: I was a budding liberal and he was a Reagan-loving Republican. But I think I was also arguing that I deserved to have control over my body, and by extension, my mind. I wanted to be free of that miserable house, and the deadly gloom that had descended on it, and my own depression.
As I continued to wither, my father kept on shouting, but he also began to cajole. "Please eat," he'd say. "For me? A little food's not going to hurt you." As satisfying as it was to hear him plead, the better pleasure was knowing that I finally had the power I wanted over my body, and over him.
So I stopped caring about what he thought, focusing instead on living up to my own standards of starvation. As long as I concentrated on them, I didn't have time to dwell on anything else not when my head was so full of caloric calculations, and my body so empty.
By November, things started happening that I couldn't cover up with clothes or lies. My feet had gotten so thin that my soccer cleats had cut holes into the skin around my ankles; after several weeks, the resulting sores got so bad that I started to hobble. One day, when I could barely walk, my coach called me over. "You look terrible out there like a drunk with two broken feet," she said, forcing a laugh. "What's going on?"
I made some excuse, but she had me sit out the rest of practice.
When I got home that afternoon, my coach had left a message for my father on our answering machine. "Could you please call me as soon as you can?" her recorded voice said. I erased it.

This is unbelievable! How does she get away with this, even if she wasn't distracted by the phone in her . . er lap. She pulled out in front of an innocent rider doing nothing wrong. I support the police in their difficult job but the crass stupidity of them and the cps astounds me. Not enough evidence! look at the photograph, witnesses state the rider wasn't speeding and she pulled out into his path. Surely it has to be, at a minimum - 'Causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving' a charge on conviction, punishable by:
"On indictment - 5 years imprisonment,
On summary trial - 6 months imprisonment.
Minimum mandatory disqualification -12 months.
Mandatory endorsement 3 -11 points.
Discretionary re-test (s.36(4) RTOA 1988" (CPS website)
How much longer do we have to put up with this 'sorry mate I didn't see you culture'.
CPS be ashamed, yet again the victims family have been let down badly, my thoughts are with them.
A total disgrace!
occular says:
They rarely get prosecuted for anything, even killing someone on camera didn't seem to have much of an effect other than a failed court case, sadly, for Mr Tomlinson's family. With a bit of luck she'll be retried and be reminded she is supposed to uphold the law, not be above it.

I'd definitely support you in this; it's an appalling verdict that sends out completely the wrong message. It doesn't help bikers or road safety in general and it does the reputation of the police and the CPS no good either. I'd welcome and support any effort to get her re-tried; if a genuine explanation can be given for her innocence then great, but this clearly isn't it. Condolences to Mr Bartholomew's family and friends.

Why do we have the CPS? Not to ensure guilty people receive appropriate punishment that is for sure. Seems their only purpose is to control the budget. We could save lots by scrapping the CPS.

This tragic event has left me feeling sick and very angry this morning, once again the law has come down against the motorcycling community and poor David and his family
I hope MCN will arrange an event to raise funds for his family(maybe a ride out with £25 entry) or an account for other riders to donate. if this is done then i pledge £100 to get the ball rolling. James Walker .

An Electronic Nose is Used to Detect Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
A new malignant pleural mesothelioma screening device may be on the horizon, according to researchers at the University of Amsterdam and the University of Bari, Italy. Using an electronic nose, the researchers reported in Lung Cancer that the exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) left a "breathprint" identifying mesothelioma in the person.
For years, researchers have been trying to find a noninvasive, reliable early detection method for the deadly asbestos-caused cancer. Mesothelioma can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, but once the disease has reached an advanced stage average survival is often less than one year. Early detection of mesothelioma can positively influence patients' survival by increasing treatment options and improving their quality of life while battling the cancer.
Earlier this year, researchers in Japan used dogs to sniff out mesothelioma in patients. The dogs were able to distinguish the disease through VOCs, and the researchers' next step was to identify the chemical makeup of the samples that allowed the animals to detect the cancer.
In this study, researchers compared the exhaled air of patients with mesothelioma to subjects with long-term asbestos exposure and to healthy subjects with no known asbestos exposure. The breathprints from the mesothelioma patients were distinguished as having mesothelioma from the other subjects in over 80% of the cases. Upon repeating the tests the researchers got the same results.
The researchers concluded that the "molecular pattern recognition of exhaled breath can correctly distinguish patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma from subjects with similar occupational asbestos exposure without malignant pleural mesothelioma and from healthy controls."
The results of this study are extremely promising and offer hope to the millions of Americans that have been exposed to asbestos in the past that a simple test can lead to early treatment of the often deadly disease. Most often mesothelioma diagnoses are not made until symptoms appear and the disease has progressed to an advanced stage leaving the patient with life-threatening complications. However, early detection can mean a difference in the patient's survival and quality of life.

Improving MPEG Audio Coding by Backward Adaptive Linear Stereo Prediction
A backward-adaptive linear N-channel predictor for high-quality subband or transform audio coding techniques is presented. The predictor performance is demonstrated by extending Layer 2 as well as Layer 3 of ISO MPEG audio coding. At a bit rate of 2 x 64 kbit/s, the subjective quality of the most critical test sequences is improved up to 3.0 points for Layer 2 and up to 2 points for Layer 3 of the ITU-R 5 Grade Impairment Scale.

Underwater Photography Facts
The beauty of underwater life offers the interesting views. Recently, some photographers have pursued the rare photographic opportunities to catch marine life that a lot of subjects such as, animals and marine mammals. However, not easy to get stunning the underwater pictures. Even so, to shoot under the sea photograph that is not so simple as we shot the human portrait or the animal aboveground. In the underwater photograph, you have to consider some aspect such as the particles, light condition in certain depth and the water itself that the major issue that will impact to the camera and the result of the photograph.
The following is the facts that have to know by photographer before go down into the sea to catch underwater life.
1. Need the diving skill
Before you dive you have to make sure that you're capable of dive, or you get a diving certificate. These are some questions to be the reason why you have to learn diving?
- How to use diving equipments
- How do the movements in the water
- How to prevent or to face the dangerous animals
- How to hold and to use the photography equipments
- How deep you have to dive
- What are the effects of weather on the wind and the wave
2. The sea risk
Thinking about risks when you dive. You surely meet with small and big marine animals that some of them are dangerous for human. That why you have to learn about diving. Besides the marine animals, you must know the decompression sickness; It's a steady that should be avoided by every diver. In simple decompression is defined as medical condition in which the accumulation of the soluble nitrogen after a diver to form air bubbles that block blood flow and nervous system. A result from these conditions will occur the symptoms that similar to stroke, which will occur symptoms like numbness, paralysis and even loss of consciousness that can cause the death.
3. Different equipment for underwater photography
The underwater photography needs special equipment because it's used in under water so the all electrical equipments must water proof. We can use point and shoot camera or DLSR camera with water proof housing, or you can use special camera for underwater photography that is the water-proof digital camera that usually a compact or point and shoot camera. If you use a DLSR with the lens attached on it, you have to cover it with the water-proof housing. The another equipment that usually use for underwater photography is external flash or lighting. The external lighting is not a necessary need; it's really needed if you dive into a certain deep or low light condition.
4. The water absorbs the color
The red, yellow and orange color will be absorbed by the sea water, so the image look blue if you don't use the strobe or other external lightings. The deeper you dive, more color that will be absorbed. To be your consideration to prepare equipments are needed to compensate this. The internal flash maybe enough for you if you dive is not too deep, but if you want to dive deeper you have to provide external lighting.
5. The particle will absorb contrast, color and sharpness
Every the sea contains particles that can absorb the contrast and sharpness of the images include the water itself that will reduce the sharpness. The sea with low particles will look clear and vice versa the water will look murky if there are a lot of particles and rubbish. Before you chose where you want to dive, you have to check where the diving site with the clear the sea. You must shoot the subject with short distance if the water isn't clear as well as you don't get the stunning pictures.

Written by Dan Marmor: firstname.lastname@example.com Friday, 16 March 2012 00:00
With the vision in mind, Rabbi Shalom and Sara Paltiel began to create a new Disney-like, Israel-themed, 1,800 square foot playground and cultural recreation center at Chabad of Port Washington. The new installment includes a recreational area with access to instruments, a puppet theater, a faux-marketplace, a costume area, a replica of ancient ruins, a live streaming feed of a bustling center in Israel, a camel, and a tree. This interactive play space offers children the opportunity to become immersed into another world while being able to enhance their vibrant imaginations with the toys and environment.
This new playground, dubbed Florence's Mini-Israel in memory of Florence Brownstein, had its VIP showing and ribbon cutting ceremony on Sunday, Mar. 4. The area was filled with laughter, food, excited children, and even a guitar player. During the ceremony, Rabbi Paltiel said, "This playground will prove to be an asset to this community and Port Washington as a whole."
Sara Paltiel, executive director at Chabad and director of the Florence Brownstein Preschool, said, "We live in a global village in which the new currency is awareness, sensitivity and relationship to the entire international community. We're creating a gateway to Israel that will not only educate, but inspire and excite children and adults many of whom would otherwise never have any firsthand connection to the contributions and significance of Israel." She added, "We look forward to hosting community and school groups, religious groups, private events, visiting dignitaries and others."
This writer had the opportunity to take an informal tour with two of the center's primary architects. Husband and wife team, Greg Gallimore and Suwalee Kochawat of Cloudberry Studio Designs, spoke of how the project came to fruition. It took approximately one year and three months to complete the build. After working through three different versions of the play place, they chose a piece that would fully encompass a playground to benefit preschoolers at Chabad and the summer camp with an indoor realm, protected from the weather, that would provide energetic children with a place to interact and play.
Gallimore and Kochawat had a hands-on approach to designing the area. Kochawat even went so far as to paint some of the fruits that can be found in the mini-market place. They were very pleased with the finished project and are planning on constructing an outdoor, nautical-themed playground for Chabad in the next six to nine months.
The attendees were extremely impressed with the new addition. "A definite wow!" said Marcy Shurka. "They have paid such attention to detail. Look at this! They replicate the water damage and cracks with paint; it's just so magnificent. It feels like I'm in a real Israeli market," said Tami Galazan.
"My favorite part is the ruins and the puppet theater. I give it a 10 out of 10!" said Jonah Nissan (age 6). His older brother, Jacob Nissan (age 8) was extremely pleased with the new installment but had slight criticisms about the length and height of the slide saying, "I give it a 98 percent out of 100."
Chabad of Port Washington is located at 80 Shore Road and the General Grand Opening will take place after Passover Dinner on April 14. They can be reached at 767-8672.
