SHANGHAI--The deal was reached with Shanghai Shendi Group, which was specifically created for the development of the Disneyland project, the official Xinhua news agency said on Friday.
Disney confirmed the Xinhua statement and said it was still awaiting final approval from China's central government regarding the incorporation of the related joint venture companies and the completion of regulatory procedures.
"For quite some time, we have been involved in discussions with the Shanghai government about building a Disney theme park. We can confirm the statement from the Shanghai government that we have taken another step forward in the approval process," a Disney spokeswoman said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
Shanghai's Disneyland is expected to cover around 4 sq km and cost about 25 billion yuan ($3.75 billion), Xinhua said. Disney itself gave no further details.
It was not clear what the ownership structure of the park would be like, but state media reported last year that an investment company controlled by the Shanghai municipal government would own a majority stake in the park.
Disney received approval to build a Disney theme park in Shanghai a year ago, but discussions about the specifics have been ongoing and few details have been released publicly.
Disney has long sought to build in Shanghai, a wealthy city of about 20 million people that is ringed by the prosperous Yangtze River Delta, home to tens of millions more potential visitors.
It was less enthusiastic about building near Beijing, which has fewer large population centers in the immediate vicinity.
Disney's foray into the China market has been mixed so far, with its Hong Kong Disneyland park reporting a loss last year.
Hopefully Disney is not putting much, or any, money into this and just licensing out their brand.
There goes my goal to visit all the Disney parks worldwide.
Why put one in China? There's one in Hong Kong and China already "owns" that country.
My name is Gator. You killed my Sorcerer's Hat. Prepare to die.
It is perceived as inconvenient (or otherwise undesirable) for the large, wealthy mainland China population centers to travel to the Hong Kong park.
Since opening, only 40% of Hong Kong Disneyland Guests were estimated to be from mainland China.
The expectation is that building a new park closer to a wealthy population source will attract new mainland China Guests and increase the frequency of the mainland China Guests who were already visiting the Hong Kong park.
Pundits have brought-up the question of market saturation, but Disney and the Chinese government have both insisted that the addition of the second Chinese resort will lead to an overall increase in Disney park attendance. How? This hasn't been made exactly clear, but it is postulated that the those with the means to visit both resorts will be compelled by product differentiation to do so and those who would have otherwise visited no park will now be compelled to visit the much closer Shanghai park.
If they have a large wealthy population of people who don't want to visit Hong Kong; they could always take a road trip and visit WDW in Florida.
Because I don't ever see myself traveling to Asia again. Maybe, but it's a long shot.
Oh, okay. So, have you been to the Hong Kong park then?
Yep, we went for Christmas '08.
Walt Disney Co. on Friday will break ground on a new theme park and resort in Shanghai, according to people familiar with the matter, after years of red tape and negotiations with the Chinese government.
The groundbreaking ceremony follows Disney's recent receipt of final approval from the Chinese central government to move ahead with its long-gestating plans for the 963-acre park and resort. That is about 1/26th the size of the 40-square-mile Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
Early Saturday morning, or late Friday in the U.S., invitations were issued by Disney, together with an arm of the Shanghai government and a local business partner of Disney's, inviting recipients to "a special event in Shanghai" on April 8. Disney Chief Executive Officer Robert Iger is expected to attend the groundbreaking ceremony. Shanghai Disneyland will be the Burbank, Calif.-based Disney's sixth major theme park in the world, and its first in mainland China.
Shanghai's mayor has estimated the cost of the first phase of the theme park will be 24.4 billion yuan, or $3.73 billion. The total cost of the resort isn't clear, but it is likely to be one of the largest foreign investments ever made in mainland China. The resort will be majority-owned by media and entertainment companies that are in turn owned by the Shanghai Municipal Government. Disney's stake in the endeavor hasn't been disclosed, though the company is expected to hold a minority interest.
In addition to Disney, the parties issuing the invitation were the Administrative Commission of Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone and Shanghai Shendi Group Co. Ltd. The latter is Disney's government-owned joint venture partner, a company formed by various government-owned businesses that has investors including a subsidiary of broadcaster Shanghai Media Group and another responsible for construction.
Just be aware comrade Mickey is watching you. I won't tell you what will happen if you do something wrong.
ºoº It all started with a Mouse.
Your trip is what you want it to be and it will turn out just how you want it.
(CNN) -- The Walt Disney Company broke ground Friday on the Shanghai Disney Resort, after getting approval from the Chinese central government in Beijing.
"Today marks a significant milestone in the history of The Walt Disney Company," said Robert A. Iger, president and CEO of The Walt Disney Company. "Our Shanghai resort will be a world-class family vacation destination that combines classic Disney characters and storytelling with the uniqueness and beauty of China. Working with our Chinese partners, the Shanghai Disney Resort will be both authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese."
Friday's groundbreaking ceremony featured traditional Chinese drum music, a Mandarin soloist and a 50-voice children's choir from Shanghai. Mickey Mouse was also in attendance, dressed in a traditional Chinese costume.
"We're incredibly excited to build a Disney resort in Shanghai, one of the world's most vibrant cities," said Thomas O. Staggs, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "We are hard at work designing Shanghai Disneyland, which when complete will be a special place where guests of all ages will discover a world of imagination, creativity, adventure and thrills."
The resort will "include a Magic Kingdom-style theme park with characteristics tailored to the Shanghai region and other amenities consistent with Disney's destination resorts worldwide," Disney said.
The new resort is scheduled to open in about five years. When it opens, Disney says the park will also have two themed hotels, a large retail, dining and entertainment venue, as well as recreational facilities, a lake and plenty of parking.
In total, building the resort is expected to cost more than four billion dollars, which will be split between the Walt Disney Company and its China partners.
Disney already has a Disneyland resort in Hong Kong, China, as well as in Tokyo, Japan, but Shanghai's would mark the first Disney resort in mainland China.
Disney has offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
I'm really looking forward to this. I actually leave for Shanghai on Wednesday with my wife who is there on business. She is originally from the Shanghai area, so we will be visiting her family as well. We will spend 3 weeks there so it will be interesting to see how the locals are feeling about the new park.
Having been to mainland China, I can tell you the answer is "not much".
Didn't the Red Scare die with McCarthy?
I guess when the world comes under one ruling power, it won't be a government, it'll be the Disney board.
DD is headed back this summer for a 2nd tour as a CP Intern!
Time to renew our annual passes.

A few weeks back we dropped a heavy looking teaser from the ‘In The Dutch Mountains Crew’. Not only did it feature some hammer riding from riders like Max De Vries, but the teaser was a cinematic masterpiece with slow-mo galore and even custom lighting to improve the shots filmed at the notoriously poorly lit snowdomes.
Well, we’ve been honoured with hosting the premier of the Dutch shred-flick in all its glory. This really is a well filmed edit with some of the best promising young riders coming out of the flatlands.
Make sure you watch this one all the way through. Perfect film for a gloomy Tuesday.

I thought I would celebrate this Christmas eve by mentioning two Irish winter warmer from one of the Irish independents.
8 degrees brewed A winters ale using only the finest ingredients, and where possible they used ingredients from local sources such as the spice mix which came from Green Saffron.
It's was a mix of toffee with coves and other spices which give a real kick to what is essentially just a strong porter. I found it a little thin but the liquorice middle and spicy finish along with warming alcohol made up for it.
More seasonal specials from the Irish craft breweries please.
Yesterday I picked up my Christmas beer selection from Drinkstore. A mix of winter warmers, standard Irish craft beers and some new world beers. It seems the day before, a shipment of Yule Ól (white gypsy) arrived in the store so the good folks at drinkstore added it in for free.
It was the first beer I drank last night, and the only non standard one. The rest were O'Hara's IPA and Stout.
This is interesting because Cuilan, the former and sometimes current brewer for Messrs Maguire (depending on if they have a current brewer), used to brew Jul Ól. No longer, a new brewer is in messrs by all accounts and he brewed their batch of Jul Ól so Cuilan has changed a single letter in his version.
I doubt they are the same beer, Yule Ól certainly casted nothing like last years Jul Ól.
The in question pours a beautiful rich ruby red/mahogany with a fluffy off-white head. There is a strong toffee on the aroma as well as a shertbety fizz indicating that it will be pretty carbonated. It is quite gassy, perhaps a little too much for my liking, especially in a winter warmer. The alcohol is obvious, though not harsh. It does give a very drying quality down the back of your throat. A toffee and caramel; malt driven body with chocolate and a hint of coffee, a little plum and other dark fruits. I got the slightest hint of cloves but not a lot and there may not even be any in the beer so it could have been a yeast produced flavour.
All in all, the beer is quite nice but too gassy for my liking. You can pick up a bottle in drinkstore of course, or if you want to sit in a pub today or over the Christmas period then The Bull & Castle also got a couple of cases in.
Merry Christmas to everyone and enjoy your beer this Christmas.

it's was a mix of toffee with coves and other spices which give a real kick to what is essentially just a strong porter. i found it a little thin but the liquorice middle and spicy finish along with warming alcohol made up for it.
more seasonal specials from the irish craft breweries please.
yesterday i picked up my christmas beer selection from drinkstore. a mix of winter warmers, standard irish craft beers and some new world beers. it seems the day before, a shipment of yule ól (white gypsy) arrived in the store so the good folks at drinkstore added it in for free.
it was the first beer i drank last night, and the only non standard one. the rest were o'hara's ipa and stout.
this is interesting because cuilan, the former and sometimes current brewer for messrs maguire (depending on if they have a current brewer), used to brew jul ól. no longer, a new brewer is in messrs by all accounts and he brewed their batch of jul ól so cuilan has changed a single letter in his version.
i doubt they are the same beer, yule ól certainly casted nothing like last years jul ól.
the in question pours a beautiful rich ruby red/mahogany with a fluffy off-white head. there is a strong toffee on the aroma as well as a shertbety fizz indicating that it will be pretty carbonated. it is quite gassy, perhaps a little too much for my liking, especially in a winter warmer. the alcohol is obvious, though not harsh. it does give a very drying quality down the back of your throat. a toffee and caramel; malt driven body with chocolate and a hint of coffee, a little plum and other dark fruits. i got the slightest hint of cloves but not a lot and there may not even be any in the beer so it could have been a yeast produced flavour.
all in all, the beer is quite nice but too gassy for my liking. you can pick up a bottle in drinkstore of course, or if you want to sit in a pub today or over the christmas period then the bull & castle also got a couple of cases in.
merry christmas to everyone and enjoy your beer this christmas.

Baltimore County Public School officials said Monday night that all schools will open two hours late Tueday.
The announcement came after a snowstorm closed schools on Monday.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning that was in effect until Monday night at 6. Between six and eight inches of snow accumulation was expected.
Snow accumulation for this winter totalled 78 inches which was greater than the 77 inches that fell the winter of 2009-2010 known as "Snowmaggedon," according to totals collected by Baltimore County.
Snow fall totals based upon unofficial reports collected by the National Weather Service include: 6 inches in Pheonix, 5 inches near Glyndon, 5 inches in Owings Mills, 4 inches near Oella and 2.6 inches near White Marsh.
Although there's a chance that another storm might hit the Mid-Atlantic, it's unlikely at this time of year, Lasorsa said.
"I can't say it won't snow again. But the chances are running lower at this time of year," Lasorsa said.
Baltimore County put its snow emergency plan into action at 3 a.m., which means vehicles on the roads must be equipped with snow or all-weather radial tires or chains and no parking is permitted on designated snow emergency routes.
As of Monday morning, the county had 535 personnel and 383 pieces of equipment clearing snow on the roads. Crews have plowed main roads and are working to plow secondary roads.
"I would like to thank the tireless efforts of the Baltimore County Department of Public Works. This storm season has been a challenging one to say the least, and they have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of our citizens out on our roadways. I am so pleased with the teamwork displayed in our County, and I am very much looking forward to a well-deserved break in weather for our workers," said Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz.
Baltimore County Emergency Management asks that residents do not park on the street unless it's absolutely necessary, because it hinders snowplows from clearing roads.
County public schools and offices announced closings Sunday night.
Emergency and essential employees are required to report to work.
County trash and recycling collection will operate Monday in areas where conditions make collection possible. All three drop-off centers are expected to be open during normal hours today, including the Eastern Sanitary Landfill in White Marsh.
Senior centers and all branches of the public library are closed. The CountyRide program will not operate.
Residents can get the most recent updates from the Department of Public Works on Twitter by following @BACOemergency or checking the County's Snow Fighter page at www.baltimorecountymd.gov/snow.

Pride Car Audio – 2 12″ Carbon Fiber Russian Subwoofers! – Adding Power!
In this video, we switch out the Rockford Fosgate 19″ and replace it with 2 12″ Pride Car Audio Subwoofers! If you haven’t seen the build of this box yet, go to http://www.youtube.com/meade916 to check it out! Also, just to be clear…..this box and the subwoofers are not mine! These won’t be staying forever! There is no other vehicle to test them in, well atleast a power ready vehicle besides mine. My truck already has all the wiring and power done, so it’s really easy to slap a new box in and take a listen! I’am sticking to 4 SMD Mini 15’s or something around there. Build video’s of that will be up when it happens!

It turned out that the Polaroid was probably taken a few minutes before we stumbled upon it – the cars – even though you can see in my shot, were the same.
Ok, so this is not groundbreaking stuff, but maybe it is just a little moment to consider one or two of the vagaries of life; the coincidence of this particular ‘lost and found,’ that maybe we were meant to find this photo. Maybe it was left there for us. Maybe someone is looking for it. I don’t know, but like it anyway.
The first bit of snow and the country grinds to a halt! I’m pretty tired of the news images of abandoned cars and endless traffic jams. I guess I’m trying to keep up some semblance of optimism despite all of the things that seem to conspire to keep me at a low ebb.
And this one was taken through the heat haze of the bonfire (just visible at the bottom) of the flashing sign of ‘The Meteorite.’ I took a good half a dozen shots to try and capture the whole word, but this one was the best with just part of the ‘R’ missing.
What can I say? Autumn is upon us in a big way and I can’t help being affected by the changing colours. I have been documenting the ‘turn’ of my Boston Ivy over the last month, photographing the same patch each morning and afternoon to chart the changes in colour. I aim to compile these as an animation and post them here when all thoughts of autumn are gone, the depressing, dismal stretch of winter sets in, and we need a burst of colour to cheer us up!
OK – this is not a scientific method as the filter uses all of the pixels, including the white highlights, but I feel that they are honest enough to pass muster.
ADDITIONAL – check out Chris Glass’ blog from 2006. I feel like I’ve been really naughty!
As I wasn’t sure what to do with any casts made from the moulds, I decided to have a little experiment. Using the last of a batch of terracotta cast – a sort of plaster and iron powder mix – I cast one of each. When they were set, I gave them a quick scrub to bring up the surface, and soaked them in water overnight to set the rusting process off. The results can be found on my Flickr site showing how they looked soon after creation.
Mmm. Nice. Anyway here are some more photographs – click on them to see larger versions. Enjoy!
This one has some of the paint that was on the original, that was transferred to the mould.

When it comes to starting a business, there are many things to consider. Will your products or services reach a large consumer base? Timing is also an element to consider, as sometimes it pays to wait a while longer. Other elements to consider are money and location. Some larger states, such as Florida and California, are great locations for starting a business. But what about money?
When it comes to location, Florida ranks high. It ranked sixth on WalletHub’s list of best places for startups. It trails Texas, Utah, Georgia, Montana and Oklahoma. It also ranked pretty high—at number three—for average growth. But money was a different story. Out of 50 states, Florida ranked near the bottom, at 46, when it comes to availability of financing.
This is important to understand because 20 percent of startups don’t make it past one year. Startups can fail for a variety of reasons, and money is no exception. It takes a lot of money to keep a business operable. A bad location, poor marketing strategies and a lack of need can also cause a business to fail.
While Florida may not rank well when it comes to funding a business, that isn’t stopping entrepreneurs from setting up shop in the Sunshine State. Florida has a very high density of startups. With nearly 21 million people living in Florida, there is no lack of consumers.
Online lending. Getting the cash you need is as easy as a few clicks. You can get money through sites such as Lending Club or opt for a site that specializes in small business loans. It takes just an hour to apply and in many cases, you have access to the cash in just days.
Angel investors. These individuals invest in companies in exchange for a 25 percent return on their investment. Angel investors have invested in popular companies such as Google.
Invoice advances. Through this method, a service provider will give you money for invoices that have been already billed out. You then pay back the service provider once you receive money from the clients.
Kickstarter and similar sites allow multiple investors to invest small amounts of money toward a business’ goal. The downside is that there are often fees involved.
Starting your own business is an exciting proposition, but it can also be scary. There are risks involved—namely, money. Securing enough money to start your business and keep it running in the long-term is not an easy task.
There are numerous legal aspects involved in a startup, and it’s easy to make mistakes. Don’t let that happen to you. Count on the expertise of Orlando business startup lawyer B.F. Godfrey from Godfrey Legal. With more than three decades of experience, he can answer your question and help you plan for the future so you can keep your business running smoothly for many years. Call his office at (407) 890-0023 or fill out the online form to schedule a consultation.

Institute of Productivity - Are investors the problem?
Over the last 5 years - in fact since the great recession hit - many companies seem to have concentrated on short term gains - and have rewarded their CEOs with generous bonuses for producing them. This is in response to a real or imagined investor need for quick results and dividends - to offset money they might previously have received in interest payments on part of their capital.
So, the CEO gets his/her bonus; the company makes profits; the investor receives dividends. What's not to like?
Well, this is a recipe for declining productivity - or at least non-rising productivity. Money is going out in these term payments instead of being invested in infrastructure, new capital equipment and new technologies. It is those kinds of investment that replace labour with capital and drive up labour productivity. It is those kinds of investment that have not been made in recent years.
Now, as I said earlier, I am not sure whether the investor pressure for short term gains and immediate dividends is real or imagined - but perhaps we should find out. If investors would accept a longer term view, we could start to make those transformational investments and all would gain in that longer term.

On Friday evening our service went down during scheduled maintenance. The service was back up and running about three hours later, with core service fully restored by 4:40 PM PT on Sunday.
For the past couple of days, we've been working around the clock to restore full access as soon as possible. Though we've shared some brief updates along the way, we owe you a detailed explanation of what happened and what we've learned.
We use thousands of databases to run Dropbox. Each database has one master and two slave machines for redundancy. In addition, we perform full and incremental data backups and store them in a separate environment.
Your files were never at risk during the outage. These databases do not contain file data. We use them to provide some of our features (for example, photo album sharing, camera uploads, and some API features).
To restore service as fast as possible, we performed the recovery from our backups. We were able to restore most functionality within 3 hours, but the large size of some of our databases slowed recovery, and it took until 4:40 PM PT today for core service to fully return.
To speed up our recovery, we developed a tool that parallelizes the replay of binary logs. This enables much faster recovery from large MySQL backups. We plan to open source this tool so others can benefit from what we've learned.

Made in the USA, this guitar features a beautifully aged Blonde Nitro Lacquer finish on a beautiful, lightweight Swamp Ash body. The guitar weighs in at 7lbs 1oz so it's a nice light weight for a Coodercaster with tons of sustain & great balance.
The Maple neck has a 50's Full "C" profile (.85" - .95") with a 25.5" scale length that's 1.65" at the bone nut with a 10" radius and 6105 frets. It has a light, slightly aged satin finish that feels great and will not get sticky when playing.
The bridge pickup is Mojo's brand new 'Valco-Style' Lap Steel Pickup and bridge combo which is an all-in-one bridge/pickup unit similar to the 50's Supro Ozark guitars. Very fat sounding with tons of sustain and punch, these are uniquely sensitive pickups which nail the vintage character and tone of the original Valco design. Primarily used by slide players like Ry Cooder, Jason Isbell and Blake Mills, these Lap Steel pickups have a special magic with open tunings and bottleneck playing.
The brass saddles are by Gotoh and they're notched and compensated for accurate intonation.
The switching system is similar to the "Eldred Mod" for Esquires with Emerson audio taper pots, and cloth covered wiring. The 3-way Oak Grigsby switch allows for 'Tone Bypass' in Position 1, 'Tone Enabled (NOS Russian PIO .047 Cap)' in Position 2 and a 'Fixed Notched Tone (Sprague Vitamin Q .0015 Cap) in Position 3. Vintage HiFi knobs and brass selector switch tie it all together.

The Galaxy S series has been the flagship series for Samsung for many years now. It is arguably the number one and the most powerful Android smartphone on the market. On a yearly basis, Samsung releases a new model of the S series. There is a lot of hype coming into the month of its release. The Galaxy S7 was released a few months back but the excitement for the Galaxy S8 has already begun. Now we will be discussing the concept design we discovered online, just as a practice in imagining what’s possible.
All the major websites and various sources indicate towards the design discussed and shown below.
Here we can see the Galaxy S8 concept’s front panel with the front camera. There are also two antenna bands coming across from the back to the front. We can also see two little spots which are most likely sensors. There is also a speaker grill which will be used for chatting while calling.
Looking at both the front and back panel, the concept purports an all-aluminum chassis with a matte finish which looks really premium. On the right side of the phone, we can see the power button on the bottom with the volume rockers above. I really don’t like this. Preferably, the two buttons should be on opposite sides so the user doesn’t get confused while pressing them without looking.
The Galaxy S7’s camera bulge has minimized in Galaxy S8, resultantly making a stunning uniform body. “Where is the flash?” you must be thinking. Well, I’m not so sure either but that small white square above the camera seems to be it. There is also a speaker grill on top which is an odd placement paired with the speaker grill on the bottom.
The above picture shows the side of Galaxy S8 Edge version. The phone seems to be the same thickness as its predecessor as well. How much slimmer can you get?
On the bottom, we can see “Samsung” written in metallic. There are again two antenna bands going across. The 3.5mm jack, mic, and the speaker grill are aligned together.

Oren's Money Saver: Turnover Tuesdays - Dell - Love that AmEx Offer!
About a month ago, I posted a deal from Dell using the current AmEx Offers for You of $100 off a $600 purchase.
I ordered 2 TVs and a Dell Venue Pro Tablet for $635 and paid $535 after the AmEx offer.
I used each $125 ePromo Gift Card to buy 2 more tablets at a price of $86.87 each (normally $99 each at the sale price).
I used the $30 ePromo Gift Card to buy 1 more tablet at a price of $80.93.
I bought the first purchase on an American Express card for the offer and the other three purchases were made on my Discover Card.
$5.35 from American Express cards and about $5 from Discover ($2.50 now and $2.50 in 12 months).
Discover Deals is paying 10% for Dell purchases. That is ~$110 now and ~$110 in 12 months.
The first 3 tablets were sold for $127.50 and incurred a fee of $13.50 each including shipping.
The last 2 tablets were sold for $125.50 and incurred a fee of about $14 including shipping (less efficient shipping).
I paid $790. I sold everything for $934 after fees. That's a profit margin of 18.2% just on the sale!
If you include the value of the credit card points, portal and loyalty points, the gain is ~$370. That's a fat margin of 46.8%! Absolutely gorgeous. Some of it I won't see for 12 months and I hope it won't get clawed back.
Please note that I did this before I read Big Habitat's post warning not to buy more than 3 of one item in one month. I wouldn't do it again since you could lose your portal points, which are worth a ton here.

Livestock such as dairy and swine often have slurry type manure. The manure is liquid but does not flow easily. It is either stored directly below the animal pens, or scraped or pumped periodically into a holding pen outside of the building.
Loading slurry manure is accomplished with a pump powered by a tractor or stationary engine. The slurry can be loaded into tractor-pulled or truck-mounted tankers, or pumped through a hose attached to a tractor that applies it as it is being pumped from the pit. The cost of loading slurry is usually low because the pump can do it quickly and the volume per animal is not usually high.
Transportation of slurry by tanker can be expensive because a lot of water is being transported and the same equipment that is hauling the slurry is usually land applying the slurry. When tankers are used, the number of hours spent transporting the slurry is frequently the limiting cost. The land may become unavailable to receive the slurry, due to crop planting times or soil conditions, before all of the slurry can be land applied. Often, the distance transported is limited so that the time constraints can be met.
If the slurry is pumped through a hose to the field, the transport time is negligible. As the slurry is pumped, it is simultaneously injected or surface applied to the land. The important cost becomes the cost of purchasing pipe and hose that is sufficient for this method of land application.
The cost of land application of slurry varies with the type of equipment used. Tankers can be expensive to own unless they are used for many animals on many acres. There is a definite economy of scale with tankers. Additionally, the tankers usually require fairly large tractors or trucks. If the livestock owner does not have a cropping enterprise that requires the large tractor, ownership of the tractor for manure distribution alone becomes expensive.
Tankers are economical for large-scale operations with slurry manure.
When slurries are applied via hoses (called dragline hoses), a tractor pulled distributor is used to move the hose around the field so that the slurry is evenly distributed. The cost of the equipment can be very expensive, but the amount of time is decreased considerably compared to using tankers because most of the time is spent in applying the slurry. Very little time is spent getting into and out of the field, as is the case when using tankers.

text: Poison Spider Mesa Trail follows a jeep road up and across Poison Spider Mesa providing nice vistas over the Colorado River to the Behind the Rocks area and Moab Valley. The route across the mesa involves sections of open slickrock requiring some very good trail finding skills. At mile 6 is the accurately named Little Arch. The descent from the mesa back to the Colorado River canyon floor involves an extremely challenging descent by way of the single track Portal Trail. It has claimed one life and should not be taken lightly. The Poison Spider demands that you be a skilled rider. You have to be able to ride through narrow canyons, through dry sand beds, over unstable ledges, over slick rock, up torturous ascents, and down severe descents. Less advanced bikers might want to turn around at Little Arch, creating a 12 mile out and back trip.
