Motorola RAZR vs HTC Titan – Build
The Titan might not feel particularly chunky in your hand, at just less than 10mm thick and weighing in at 160g, but that's until you compare it to Motorola's latest offering. The super-slim RAZR is just 127g and 7.1mm thick, making it the slimmest phone in the world right now.
But the RAZR's no delicate flower – this is an ideal phone for accident-prone smartphone users with Kevlar and Gorilla Glass adding protection.
Motorola RAZR vs HTC Titan – Screen
If size matters above all else, the Titan's 4.7in, 198ppi screen will be fine for watching films and TV shows on the go but the RAZR has a not too shabby 4.2in screen itself.
Added screen rep comes in the form of Super AMOLED and qHD 960x540 resolution. We'd go with Moto on this one.
Motorola RAZR vs HTC Titan – Power and performance
The RAZR has done Motorola proud here – 12.5 hours of talktime thanks to the 1800mAh battery and a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor should keep multi-tasking, graphics-intensive Android games and video playback ticking along nicely.
HTC has packed a mighty 1.5Ghz Snapdragon processor into the Titan – so it should be speedy but as it's just single-core you won't save any power. And the Titan's battery is slightly smaller at 1600mAh. One more for the RAZR – we see a pattern emerging.
Motorola RAZR vs HTC Titan – OS
Here the battle moves to mobile OS territory – how does Android Gingerbread, soon to be Ice Cream Sandwich, compare to some fresh Windows Phone Mango? Well, what Mango does well is social integration with Facebook and Twitter, a UI made up of nice, big tiles and efficient multi-tasking.
But if you've already got an Android handset, you might find it easier to adjust to the RAZR's Gingerbread set-up, complete with the superior Android Market.
Motorola RAZR vs HTC Titan – Camera
The Titan puts up a good fight in the photo arena, sporting an 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash and 720p video capabilities. But the RAZR one-ups HTC with its ability to shoot 1080p HD video – that should look good on that qHD screen..
VERDICT: We'll give this one to the RAZR as it outclasses the Titan in most of our categories. You'll get a brighter, higher-res screen, tougher build, great battery life and – come 2012 – Android 4.0. But if you want to give Mango a whirl and a massive screen is essential, then the HTC Titan is a better bet.

Terry, this is so true. And this is what I needed to hear today. :)

This is so true, because I find myself putting my aside for the same reason. It's a tough balance.

I tried quitting this spring--thinking I couldn't write anymore but it didn't happen. One day, my desire returned and I'm writing. Thanks for a great reminder.

Excellent post, Terry. It is a very tough balancing act.

This reminds me of something a wise, um, "man" once said, "Do. Or, do not. There is no try." Very good stuff!

Hey thanks for sharing this incredible experience. Reminded me of an article I wrote two decades ago: Learning from God, lessons of life. Thank you for bringing our mind back on track to keep going.

Terry, it took a lot of courage to be that honest with her.

I KNOW this is true, but I would still benefit from reading the reminder at least once a week. Whining is just wasted energy, yet it creeps on me from time to time.
Very applicable. Thank you!

Terry, thank you so much for sharing this story with Hartline readers. Your insights and advice are so very true, and I also thoroughly enjoyed how you narrated this through a story instead of just writing a blog post on the topic.
- July 6, 2012 at 6:31 PM

Loved this blog, and it was so well put!
Another aspect to consider is that those who write books that are not Christian-based, that glorify evil, do not quit.

- Timothy Fish said...
I figure that if someone has time to write then they really have no business writing. While I agree that some people will never quit writing because they always have words that must come out, I'm not sure I agree that is a good enough reason to say that they should continue writing. On the other hand, I look at people who are busy doing thing that are more important than writing and see people who have something worth sharing.

Thank you. Every day it crosses my mind to stop putting myself through all of this, but then I know I can't stop the stories without denying something inside of me. I wonder how many incredible books have been laid to the side because someone just gave up. "...let us run with perserverance the race marked out for us."

Amazing Brok is a challenging 2D platformer that addresses the problem plaguing so many other platformers on mobile devices: the controls. Brok is unique with its 2 button system. One button causes Brok to jump, and the other interacts with the objects in the level in various ways. This control system is a lot of fun to learn, while still providing a lot of interesting level mechanics, like timing your jump for extra height (coming off a landing), or wall jumping.

Color is the spice of life; it adds variety with every addition and sports exuberance at the end of the whole process. Well let's move on over fancy talks and get to the point!
Usually individuals try to distinctively separate the outlook of their handsets by adding available color options cases over their devices. Another alternative is the new-fangled trend which is displayed at present with the arrival of Apple's iPhone 5c. Users are presented with color options depending on their liking and need. However with the other flagships, users have to stay contend with fancy covers, or cases for illustrating uniqueness with their device.
At present we are introduced to pink Galaxy Note 3 which is slated to arrive in Germany, starting this December. This arrival will be an additional color option apart from the black and white color options that are available currently.
The color will be officially dubbed as Blush Pink and this has been previously seen in the UK and in South Korea as a Phones 4U exclusive. It is regarded that this will also feature in other markets too once its unveiled at the launch in Germany.

Council members made the informal decision Friday, March 29, during a joint meeting with the Moab City Council.
Canyonlands Healthcare Special Service District officials raised the possibility of a new 0.5 percent Healthcare Facilities Tax as a fundraising method. However, attorneys for the council and the special service district's board of directors indicated that Utah law does not allow a county of Grand's size to levy the tax for that purpose.
Currently, state law allows the tax to be imposed by class three, four or five rural counties to help fund health care centers that are owned by the county. Grand, a class five county, does not own the Canyonlands Care Center; the center is owned and managed by the special service district board.
The district recently sought a ruling on the law from the Utah State Tax Commission, but has not received a response. During Friday's meeting, special service district board member Joey Allred said the board has decided to withdraw the request for a Tax Commission ruling.
Instead, she and other local officials hope to convince Utah legislators to change the law to allow Grand County to levy the tax.
"We are withdrawing our request for a ruling to move forward with legislative action that would benefit all communities in the state," Allred said during an interview.
The goal is to pass legislation that would give counties the ability to financially support a special service district facility such as Canyonlands Care Center, she said.
Allred acknowledged it will take a long time, if efforts are successful, to have such a bill passed during the next session of the Utah Legislature.
Moab City Council member Kirstin Peterson raised that point during the meeting, too. That's why she and other members of a task force looking for solutions to the funding problem are considering many other options, including selling the care center or contracting with a private firm to manage the facility.
Friday's discussion even included the possibility of Grand County buying the care center, which would allow sales tax money to be used for operations.
Council chairman Gene Ciarus said the county doesn't have enough money to purchase and operate the facility, noting the significant debt owed for construction of the center.
"I'm not sure the citizens want to assume $4.5 million in debt," he said.
Roy Barraclough, the current care center administrator, said many cost-cutting measures have been implemented and more are being considered.
"We've reduced staff, we've cut back benefits," he said. "We are trying to get as lean as we can be."
He said cuts already made include reducing the number of paid holidays staff members receive from 12 to seven, with a projected annual savings of $137,000; requiring employees to pay 30 percent of health insurance premium costs, saving another $36,000 annually; and suspension of performance increases for staff during 2013, saving an anticipated $31,500 in salaries.
Other potential savings could come from outsourcing some services and replacing some full-time workers with part-time staff to save benefit costs, task force members said.
The task force that is meeting to find funding solutions consists of members from the county council, city council, the Canyonlands Healthcare Special Service District board and the Moab Healthcare board. They have run into dead ends with many potential options, according to Allred.
"We've exhausted so many options that we have a short list," she said.
Anyone who is interested in serving on the task force is invited to submit an application to Allred at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Moab Mayor Dave Sakrison at email@example.com.

Today in our "how to create irresistible play spaces for children" series we will look at play spaces around the globe to discover how we can create small child-sized places using natural elements in our own backyards or playgrounds.
1. Cubby Houses
Teepees are simple to create using found natural resources such as branches or fronds:
The kids at our primary school created this natural structure by learning sticks they collected from the adjoining bush up against a tree trunk:
Or you could use a big old tractor tyre as a base:
Involving the kids in the construction process is half the fun. These preschoolers from the Melbourne Early Learning Centre are taking part in the Eco Cubby project, which teams schools and preschools with local architects to make their own cubbies using sustainable practices:
You can use trees or poles to attach fabric to for tent like cubbies:
Or maybe you would prefer a more permanent structure. How about this one made from logs?
The added bonus of a natural play space is that kids can easily find loose parts such as leaves, tan bark and pods to use in their pretend play in the cubbies.
2. Living, growing cubby houses
Weeping Mulberry Trees make magical natural play spaces:
3. Secret places
Hidden, child-sized spaces offer privacy, social intimacy and places to pause in the great outdoors. You can use a combination of plant materials, lattice, bamboo, wicker or brush screens to create easy and inexpensive secret places:
This simple planting arrangement around a backyard sandpit will grow high enough to offer kids a sense of privacy and enclosure without obscuring adult vision:
It doesn't have to be elaborate - simply a corner with overhanging greenery becomes a special secret space for children to play:
There are numerous 'quiet' places tucked away for solitary imaginings. Bamboo is used effectively as a durable screen, but one not so dense that it can't be wiggled through or crawled under. (Playscapes):
This post is a part of a series on how to create irresistible outdoor playspaces for children. You can start reading this series here. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to share ideas that have inspired or worked for you in the comments section
Next: just add loose parts.

Scenario #1:Nepgear in Gundam world.(Don't ask me why...)
*In Ptolematios 2
Nepgear:OwwOww......How did i even land in a wrong place thanks to Histoire trying to teleport us to Industry graveyard(but apparently the transfer of the girls got screwed up and they went to another world instead).
Setsuna:Hmm...I hear something in our Briefing room. Should i check it out?
Sumeragi:Sure, why not?
*Setsuna went to briefing room* Setsuna:I remember I heard that voice somewhere...
Nepgear:Ahh someone's here, i better hide.
*Setsuna go to briefing room*
Setsuna:Ahh...(A girl. Wait how she landed in our ship?)
Nepgear:Erm...I really wanted to ask you something but....
Setsuna:! (Princess! How did she get out of Flonyard and into human world?)
Setsuna:N-Nothing......A-anyway, who are you?
Nepgear:Me? I am Nepgear. Who would you be?
Setsuna:I am Celestial Being Gundam Meister, Setsuna F. Seiei.(She really does sound like Princess Millhi)
Setsuna:Whats wrong?
Sumeragi: There has been a particular picture being spread around the database of all flagships, including other timelines.
Setsuna:What picture is that?
Sumeragi:Well....It is a fanart picture, but i don't....who is that girl?
Nepgear:I am Nepgear, I came from GameIndustri, trying to save my sisters from Industry Graveyard.
Setsuna:A dimensional fault? Explain later, now show me the picture.
Sumeragi: Okay...please wait...
Spoiler for Picture in question, and i don't know if the image can work...:
Nepgear:Ehh...Thats me in the picture. Why?
Setsuna: (That girl...and this girl...they are the same.) Don't tell me, they foresee that you will lose in the battle against a particular boss back there and get captured again.
Nepgear:EHH!!?? Someone please....stop this...
Setsuna: Don't cry...I will find out who did this, and ensure that they pay for this. Sumeragi, have any idea who is behind this?
Sumeragi:Please wait...
*after 5 minutes*
Sumeragi:IP Tracked. it seems to be one who looks like the girl behind her...If i am not wrong, the sender is probably a person who wields the same weapon as her, probably a gundam with a scythe.
Setsuna:There are 2 gundams with scythe as a weapon, please be specific.
Sumeragi:well...It has a scythe and it has no more weapons other than that.
Setsuna:I know who he is already, Mission start. I will use 00 quanta to do a ship and unit teleport.
Sumeragi:Okay...All hands, we will be going to another dimension in 10 minutes time. Resupply and get ready. Are you ready Setsuna?
Tieria:Hey there is a white-purple 00-Raiser in here, we don't have data on it.
Setsuna:What? (Whose gundam is that?)
Tieria:That gundam seems to be carrying a Beam sword weapon type.(Looks like a GN Sword III beam saber)
Nepgear:Nepgear, currently on standby.
Setsuna:!!! Hey, since when?
Mister Bushido:She learned your quotes from the game. So lets just don't care and move- *got kicked out from Ptolematios 2*
Setsuna:Tch, of all times. Okay are you guys ready?
All celestial being crews:Yes!
Setsuna: Ok lets roll out!
*To be continued*(After someone posts)

That aside, we need to know what happened at "that ending". And also, the blog too
What if...(and i mean what if) Extreme Gundam 4th form is this? Extreme Dp?
Nepgear's movements...they nearly look like ex-
Spoiler for off-topic pic:
If Extreme is there instead of Nepgear....uh oh...
Spoiler for Game spoilers:
Ok...Blog is updated have a look
All we know is...
1. It is not an RPG game.
2.Little info is given...(Probably 2 weeks later more info will be given)
Thats all...for me...(if you guys can get more info out of this, it will be more appreciated)
I want to revive the thread so here comes the next post.

Chapter 15 is out
Scenario Extra:Lacus' sudden singing change.
*Announcement:There is no need to do a scenario as it can be explained by using a particular small, loli type of GSC video*
There look at this and skip to 1:02 of this video.
Assuming Neptune is Shinn as Lacus.(and the fact that the place is screwed)
And 5pb. is Lacus(Real)
To summarize,

but yeah, still too little info to speculate. But from how the announcement was made, I'm thinking that it might be not a separate game and somehow will still tied to Neptune Mk2 (maybe a mini game free update / DLC or something? the idea came up when I read that it won't be an RPG game)
That, or this "game" is not an actual game . Another contributing factor is about how CH made the announcements for the Neptune games. They'll make a countdown teaser webpage first. And for the 2nd game, they didn't make an announcement on the 1st game's blog. While this Noire's "game" did the other way.
Well, just my opinion

I have the feeling it has something to do with the game after this...if there is a linkage between mk2 and this game, we may know what comes in the game after that

I'm not really sure how it is. "Noire Style" is actually first mentioned in a particular event in the second game. I'm going to take a deeper look into the blog entry if I have time.
And about it not being a RPG I'm not so sure since Vert says "This time It's not a RPG (maybe)". I think they're still teasing.

Just something I noticed in a recently released screen-shot of the localized version that has me little confused. The character named Chika says she's Vert's "sibling", and I was under the impression Vert didn't have a sister considering Microsoft doesn't have a hand-held gaming device.
Spoiler for Screenshot in question:
Now I suppose if I had to make a guess, she may be a representation of the original Xbox like Vert is a representation for the 360. That seems like the most sensible conclusion to me, but if that's the case then wouldn't that imply the characters Mina and Kei represent the Gamecube and PS2 respectively?
Just something I wanted to mention. I might be looking too deeply into the matter, but part of me still wants to see other consoles personified in this series. If this is indeed the case here then I am quite glad to see it.~

Actually all the head of the churches in Mk2 are puns on fans of a certain console (save for Histoire, which is still linked to a certain old game). They removed part of the names in the US version from what I see, but in any case that meaning would have been lost anyway.
As for that particular scene with Chika... You'll understand her when the time comes.

Not really interested in "What if...". I personally like the cast as it is (with the top performances IMO being Yui Horie, Rie Tanaka, Asami Imai and Kana Ueda and the worst one being nao - she can't be a voice actress, period).
I suggest to anyone who doesn't want to get spoiled to avoid the latest bunch of NISA's screenshots as they're quite spoilerific material.

Pets, Pets, Pets
PETS, PETS, PETS ...by Joanne Anderson
Imagine writing a letter to Charles Darwin and having him answer. This particular 1874 inquiry was about dog suicides. Odd topic, wouldn't you say? An 1888 magazine contains an essay where Lillie Devereux Blake, a writer and suffragette, expresses her belief that distraught dogs do kill themselves.
Blake writes to none other but Darwin to ask his opinion. The father of evolution actually responds with doubts about her animal suicide theory. She "sticks to her guns" anyway, citing more case histories of depressed dogs ending their own lives because they were upset or jealous.
My search for Sensation and the Westminster Kennel Club clubhouse in Babylon has led to intriguing tangents and other dog discoveries. Since I collect authentic copies of old journals and newspapers with references to Westminster Kennel Club's Babylon roots, other stories, like this dog suicide piece, catch my eye.
Lillie Devereux Blake's article "Canine Suicides" is in the April-Sept., 1888 Outing (a once popular recreation magazine) that I purchased from an antique book vendor because an original copy of a 13-page article by C.S. Pelham-Clinton about Westminster and the Babylon clubhouse is part of the bound volume. There's also a fabulous, illustrated installment about the history of dog collars.
Blake's dog suicide anecdotes would not win any points with the ASPCA. She opens her article describing an encounter years earlier with an elderly physician who told her about Jack his faithful Terrier who ran away after he beat the dog for tearing up a valuable rug. The doctor searched for the dog the next morning but learned sad news from a grocer who had fed the fugitive and then shooed him home. According to the grocer, instead of heading home, Jack "deliberately" trotted onto a railroad bridge, and despite the cries of the grocer and others, was killed by an oncoming train. The dog was familiar with the tracks, so the guilt-ridden doctor was convinced Jack intentionally sought death rather than face him again.
After Blake recounts this incident to Darwin, his response comes from Down, Beckenham, Kent on Feb. 18, 1874. (That date would be after the 6th edition of The Origin of the Species, so he's already famous.) Here's an excerpt from Darwin's reply:
"Dear Madame, —I am very much obliged for your kindness in having sent me so many curious particulars with regard to animals…..With respect to the suicide, I do not think anyone of a sceptical {sic} frame of mind will believe in such cases. The dog which was killed on the railroad may have been paralyzed with terror, or been on the point of suffering from epilepsy, to which dogs are liable, and such wild explanation seems to be more probable than that a dog should know what death is, and voluntarily incur it. With many thanks for your kindness, I remain, dear madame,
Yours very faithfully,
Keep in mind that in 1858 Blake's first husband shot himself in the head, an alleged suicide. At first she refused remarriage and, as a way to support herself, became a Civil War correspondent. So her fervent suffrage and suicide views may have been influenced by personal experience. She wasn't about to drop her dog suicide theory when Darwin failed to agree with her. Perhaps in defiance, Blake began collecting newspaper reports from all over the country.
Her Outing piece goes on to tell about two dogs that 'jumped" out of a third- and fifth-story windows—the first because tormentors in New Orleans had given him turpentine; the other because the pooch refused to stay with a new owner. Next she mentions a Newfoundland who steps on to the train tracks 'on purpose" like Jack the mean doctor's Terrier. Another is a case of sibling rivalry. A dog is upstaged by a new pup so the dog "decides" to take up residence in a hotel, but he too meets his demise when hypnotized by the spell of the nearby train. Finally she includes a jealous Poodle who can't stand to see the new dog get more attention than him. The situation becomes so unbearable that the Poodle hurls his little body over a cliff, falling 50 feet to his death.
Actually when going through 19th C. microfilm looking for Westminster clues, I saw similar suicidal interpretations of dogs killed on the Babylon tracks printed in our local paper the South Side Signal. Perhaps such profound anthropomorphism was a Victorian mindset.
Yes, dogs can grieve and die of broken hearts, but whether they actively plot to do away with themselves seems a bit far fetched. In the meantime, Blake who later contributed to Elizabeth Cady Stanton's Woman's Bible reminds us here "that our canine friends have such warm and sensitive spirits that when cruelly treated they prefer death to a life of torture or the loss of affection, it behooves all lovers of the "noble brute' to see that their dog friends are kindly treated." Amen. Even Mr. Survival of the Fittest could have agreed with that statement.
For Adoption: Look closely and you will see a NY Senator endorsing this week's canine candidates at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon. "Chelsea" in Cage 35 is a young Shepherd mix, still energetic and puppyish; while "Hillary" in Cage 27 is a more mature Husky/Beagle with 1 blue and 1 brown eye. She's about 2 yrs. and seems to mesh fine with kids and other dogs. The shelter has plenty of "Demo-cat" and "Re-pup-lican" delegates needing homes.
Female: Shepherd/Dobie pup Cage 42; "Fluffy" in C-9 - longhaired black cat. Her owner is deceased.
Male: "Spike" German Pinscher mix Cage 24- SPCA seizure; "Panda" Cage 7; "Scooby" tan Pit Cage 4; purebred Wirehaired Fox Terrier Cage 13; handsome Maine Coon in the Cat Colony- from a big eviction.

What to look for: action, strong female lead, unique fighting style.
Arachnid tells the story of Fujii Alice, an orphan girl who is isolated and often bullied at school because of her weirdness. But it turned out that Alice's weirdness is actually her biggest assets in combat. After an encounter with an assassin called "Spider" from a certain organization, she now struggles to face both assassins from the organization and the harsh life itself as a teenage living on her own.
Currently, there are 7 chapters out. The setup seemes to be genric, but what make the difference is the female lead, as she displayed a whole spectrum of emotions and characters as the story proceeds. The fighting style is pretty unique, and the fan service is delicious. At the moment it is still on a enemy of the month run, But I guess it is necessary for any fighting manga. I expect the story to pick up its momentum and develop to something larger in a few more chapters.
By the way, no trashing romance so far is a plus in my book.

This series suffer from the lack of scanlation, though the quality of art and story is probably on par with most current shounens out there. I really liked the development back in Chapter 5(?) because I haven't seen that setup used for character development in a while. The mantis guy that showed up in 6 (or maybe 7) was pretty cool, though Alice's powerlevel is getting pretty hack level. The philosophy regarding namesake's also nice too.
I can see critics bash this for lack of originality though, though the fights are done really well considering there are no huge nuclear nukes or magic fireballs to hype up the mood-graceful, bloody, and psychotic would how I describe the couple we have seen so far. Depending on how the story goes this can be pretty epic or end up sucking, though I am pretty enjoying this so far.

Not at all.
Alice Margatroid uses remote control dolls.
Alice uses thread to detect and trap her preys. This style is more like the battle librarian. Besides, the show is about assassins with their fighting styles modeled after different insects. So, some people would name the manga as "Discovery Channel's Animal Planet".

Oh this.
I think the first couple chapters were the best. The rest are still good, but the story looks a bit random when they start fighting all around the school. And like everyone mentioned, the strong female main has a very unique fighting style.

i dont consider the series bad, i just feel deceived, i mean, up until alice killed the previous spider, the series had a more realistic atmosphere, but after the other insects appeared, it feels like another series already, the thing got too supernatural kinda out of the blue, in the end its really one of the most fun mangas im reading at the moment, but i still fill akward the contrast of the series untill and before the insect were introduced.

Started reading this manga the other day. I'm interested in this one. I like Alice as a character as well. Quite different from your typical MC. Also don't mind these insect powers. Will keep my eye out on every chapter.

The peanut title of the Food Security and Rural Development Act of 2002, i.e., the farm bill, might seem like getting underwear for your birthday. It's not exactly what farmers wanted, but it's useful and about as good as they could hope for.
There were too many forces lined up against continuation of a quota system, says Alabama Congressman Terry Everett, a Republican member of the House Agriculture Committee. Everett and Georgia Democratic Senator Zell Miller were honored during the Southern Peanut Farmers Federation's annual meeting recently in Panama City, Fla., for their efforts to preserve the peanut industry. Everett, along with Miller's agricultural assistant West Higginbothom, kicked off the conference with a Washington update.
"It's been an interesting year," Everett said. "We had to decide whether to save the industry or allow it to go down the tubes. I said at this conference last year that the quota system could not survive.
"We barely saved it in 1996."
Everett said the program attracted too many critics, including members of Congress and, especially, the press. "The press has voiced strong opposition to a quota system, and that's not going to change," he said. "The press does not understand agriculture."
Everett said a quote he included in a press release referring to agriculture as crucial to national security was picked up by several bastions of journalism, including the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. After several revisions, a reporter quoted Everett as stating the peanut title of the farm bill was crucial "to fight terrorism."
He said it reminded him of the gossip game children play, where they sit in a ring and each child whispers something to the person beside him and all are amazed at how the message mutates into something completely different by the time it gets around the circle.
"That's the way it works in the press sometimes," Everett, a onetime reporter and longtime newspaper owner and publisher, said.
Even with the obvious fault, no quota system, Everett said the program is sound. "We have a good farm bill and the peanut program is better than I predicted in 2001. We have a $495 per ton target price and more money for a quota buyout than I expected. Not everyone is happy with the buyout, but there was no other way."
He said lowered tariffs, as mandated by NAFTA, would have rendered U.S. peanut farmers non-competitive.
"Peanuts are too important to Southern agriculture to let that happen. We had to preserve the industry. We got a lot of criticism, but at the end of the day, we did what we had to do to preserve the peanut industry, and I think we cobbled together a program that provides an opportunity for profit. I'm tired of producers apologizing for trying to make a profit."
He praised Miller for his role in holding onto the funds in the Senate.
Higginbothom said farmers now should turn their attention to holding onto those funds as appropriations committees try to accomplish what the Grassley-Dorgan Amendment failed to do.
"We have a rocky road ahead," he said. "Payment limitations will come up and likely will pass through committees. We need help to dispel some of the misconceptions rampant about payment limitations.
"For instance, it's not true that taking money from one group of farmers will benefit another group. They'll all hurt. Also, it's untrue that all farmers are rich. In fact, without government payments the past few years a lot of farmers would be out of business."
He said proponents of payment limitations believe that a low payment cap will reverse the trend of aging farmers. "The average age of our farmers is more than 50 years old," he said. "Payment limitations will not help that."
Higginbothom said the farm bill is a good piece of legislation. "The peanut title also is a positive and a program that will lead the industry into the future."
He said the focus for the next few weeks will be on the USDA and the Farm Services Agency as they write the regulations that will guide the new farm legislation.
"They must go carefully and develop good policy," he said. "They are breaking new ground."
Bob Redding, who represents peanut interests in Washington, said the farm bill "was late and pushed USDA into a precarious position to develop regulations. They are working diligently, around the clock, to meet deadlines.
"Consequently, we have to be patient, and when growers find problems with regulations, they should tell USDA what's wrong and get them to fix it in 2003. This cannot become a public forum about how bad this program is."
He said time constraints do not allow a 90-day public comment period. "We'll have to fix problems in 2003."
Redding said officials consistently stuck to two themes in meetings with USDA as they began developing rules and regulations for the new farm program: "Protect producers and protect government money. And producers are the number one concern."
All three speakers urged farmers and other industry spokespersons to stay in touch with legislators and USDA as regulations become public and as Congress debates appropriations and changes in the law. Redding said farmers should point out that quick changes in the law would be grossly unfair to the industry.
"Also, counter the Environmental Working Groups' continued criticism of the farm legislation by reminding legislators and the media that the 38 percent of farm families they always isolate as receiving the bulk of government payments produce 92 percent of the country's food and fiber."
Adding to economic woes has been environmental trouble.
"In any given year, 15 percent of the country's agricultural production is exposed to drought," Redding said. "This year, 40 percent is exposed. We need to get disaster aid for both 2001 and the 2002 crops."
He said the past five years have brought tough times to farmsteads with low prices and high production costs.
"And remind legislators that agriculture is a key contributor to the gross national product."
"Payment limits plus low prices plus high production costs equals trouble,' Higginbothom said.

If the crowds at this weekend's Irish Beauty Show were any indication, it looks like lip foils are set to be the next big thing in beauty. The stand for The Beauty Boutique Academy - distributors of Glitzy Lips in Ireland - was drawing a lot of attention and the free product demonstrations were going down a treat.
Blingin' high-shine glitter-effect lips were everywhere you turned, with the most popular colour being Pink Couture ... unsurprising really, as it's the colour Katy Perry rocked for her recent Grammy's performance.
The Irish Beauty Show is Ireland's biggest beauty trade show aimed primarily at beauty therapists, spa and salon owners and nail technicians. There was a lot of love for the Glitzy Lips foils, so I'd expect them to be coming soon to a salon near you.
€15 is the suggested treatment price, and you apparently get up to 8 hours wear per application. There are nine colours available including red, silver, copper, blue and various shades of pink.
Well, would ya?

Everyone knows that it never snows in Victoria. At Albion Manor we have roses that bloom in the front garden in January. But that can be a bit boring after a while so this year, as a kind of mid-January surprise, I got a bunch of tiny styrofoam beads and sprinkled them all over the garden. I think the effect was quite successful, don't you. Getting the beads to stay on top of the garden angel was quite tricky, but it worked.

Fire protection fee bills begin to show up in mailboxes
If you are a property owner in many parts of Mono County, you may get a $150 bill from the state this month, a bill that is due at the end of the month. Called the "State Responsibility Area" (SRA) fees, the fees are supposed to help the state pay for fire protection for certain state lands. The fees became law last year and went into effect Oct. 1. The law will also affect mobile homes with DMV registration.
The SRA fee law was fought last year by Mono County Supervisors and other rural county supervisors who believe the fee will present undue hardship to property owners already stretched too thin. But rural county concerns did not prevail in Sacramento, according to Mono County Supervisor Hap Hazard and the fees are now law.
The fees can be appealed and, in fact, the state has already received thousands of appeals the first week (this week) the bills were sent out, Hazard told the board of supervisors Tuesday. For more information from a group that is fighting the fees, go to calfirefee.com.
For more information from the state, visit www.firepreventionfee.org.

The year 2012 started off with high hopes that the challenges faced by the global economy would be overcome and growth would accelerate. Instead, the difficulties intensified and the expected improvement got pushed back.
Nevertheless, the fundamental drivers continue to point to stronger growth. As solutions to the political-economic challenges are implemented and confidence returns, demand will build and lead to a much healthier economic climate.
Even though 2013 will get off to a slow start, Cushman & Wakefield is optimistic that the stage has been set for a significant turn-up late next year and a strong global rebound in 2014 and beyond. Read our Economic Pulse Forecast 2013 for global and regional analysis.

Opposite Ends of my Kitchen
I am participating in an online workshop right now, a little something that felt so right to me when I was deciding how to allocate money received at Christmastime. Whole Foods Kitchen is just the sort of intentional use of my free time that centers me, especially at a time of year when my work schedule and its associated tax deadlines threaten to spin my brain into a knot.
It is times like this when I wonder why on earth I am focusing my energies on the Registered Tax Return Preparer Competency Test (yawn) when what has lately been occupying my thoughts and dreams is pursuing certification in holistic nutrition.
And while I immerse myself in research on distance learning programs for holistic health certifications, along with lively online workshop discussions of healthy foods, my children are busy picking out just the right sticks with which to roast marshmallows in our fireplace.
Do you see the sticky, white, gelatinous substance at the top of that stick on the far right?
Marshmallows (insert interrobang here). Oh, the irony.

I love these posts that remind me of your humanity. Plus I love the interrobang. Do you think I could order a special keyboard?
- Sarah Beam said...
If you get a keyboard with an interrobang, I will hereby ban you from leaving comments. So there.

I am loving the online workshop. I was an accountant in my pre-babes life, but now stay at home with them. Tax time = not so much fun :-) I have been researching holistic nutrition programs for about a year now. Not entirely sure what kind of demand we would have in Maine for that, but it is something that is extremely interesting to me! Visiting your blog from the workshop forums :-)

Silly me, Heather. Instead of leaving the accounting behind when I had babies, I brought it home with me. Pure absurdity, yes?

It's time to put your own signature on your magic! Damien O'Brien and Leon May have come up with an obscenely visual effect!!
Sign off is an incredibly Eye-Popping routine with a visual vanish of a signature that happens right in front of your spectators eyes but looks like a camera trick!
A card is selected and signed on the face by your spectator. The card is now held between your spectators palms. You select a card for yourself, and sign or initial it on the back. now in full view of your spectator you visually make your signature vanish. This really has to be seen to be believed. There is absolutely no cover, the signature just goes. It's so good you will fool even yourself!
You state that it's impossible to just make it vanish (after all it needs to go somewhere) you point to the card in your spectators hand. He slowly lifts his hand to see his signature on the face and just wait for the reaction when he finally gets the nerve to turn the card over to see your signature has arrived on the back of his card.
This really is a real world worker. The gimmick is just so cool. The vanish looks incredible. The signature can vanish and reappear at your command and is totally at your control.
Included in the boxA full instructions DVD which covers routines, handling tips & step by step details on how to construct additional Sign Off Gimmicks.
