But the Royals struck twice late in the second period and added an empty net tally in the final minute to drop Hamline to 1-5-1 for the season, 0-4-1 in the MIAC.

Posted on 03/15/2013 5:39:04 AM PDT by IbJensen
In his State of the Union address, President Obama said he wanted to make high-quality preschool available to every child in America and make sure none of our children start the race of life already behind.
So Heritage experts took a look at the Presidents plan to see if it would actually help Americas needy children get ahead in the race of life.
Another government-controlled, top-down, one-size-fits-all programwhat could go wrong?
Look at the governments record. As Heritages Lindsey Burke, the Will Skillman Fellow in Education, and research associate Rachel Sheffield point out in their new paper, Washington already has a poor track record for K12 education, with federal spending nearly tripling over the past three decades while academic achievement and attainment languishes.
Look at the government preschool we already have. There are already 45 government preschool programs run by numerous federal agencies, including the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Agriculture, the Interior, and Housing and Urban Development. Burke and Sheffield note that these 45 programs are estimated to cost taxpayers more than $20 billion annually. Many are duplicative and ineffective, failing to serve the needs of children from low-income families.
Head Start, of course, has already shown us the ways government preschool can fail American children:
After nearly 50 years of operation, the federal Head Start program has failed to improve the educational outcomes and kindergarten readiness of participating children. Head Start should be eliminated, or at the very least it should be reformed, to allow states the flexibility to make their Head Start funds portable, allowing families to use their dollars to send their children to a private preschool of their choice.
The Presidents new proposal wouldnt help low-income children. Low-income families already have access to taxpayer-funded preschool through state programs and Head Start (which, if it continues to be funded, should be reformed to serve them better). President Obamas proposal would subsidize middle-income and upper-income familieswith no new benefit to low-income parents.
Three-quarters of four-year-olds are already in preschool. Many parents prefer to care for their young children at home. But for those who want preschool programs, there are a variety of programs available. There is no public demand for new, large-scale government spending in this area. Burke and Sheffield report that An estimated 74 percent of four-year-old children are enrolled in preschool, public and private, across the country.
Look at the academic evidence. Do these formal preschool programs really help kids in their academic careers? Our authors write: Evaluations of preschool programs consistently find that any gains children make as a result of preschool quickly fade away in their early elementary years. The Obama administration turns to a 50-year-old evaluation of a high-intervention preschool program with 58 at-risk children to make his case for taxpayer-funded, universal preschool. That means President Obama is making what researcher Russ Whitehurst calls a prodigious leap of faith. The outcomes of that program, known as the Perry Preschool Project, have never been replicated.
It is far more likely that the Presidents proposal will produce outcomes akin to Head Start, which, according to the scientifically rigorous evaluations conducted by Health and Human Services, are abysmal.
Everyone wants children to have the best start in life. Large-scale government preschool programs are not the way to ensure that happens.
IMHO gutless phony barely scratches the surface so thanks for your reasoned and polite approach. /s
What these programs actually offer kids is a safe, regular, clean, structured environment to get them out of the extreme chaos that is their home life. These kids' "homes" are sleeping on a different floor every night, loud nasty rap music, occasional food items, not real meals, cursing and fighting, beating, trash, filth, drinking and drugging. A preschool and a regular schedule is a lifeline.
kids is a safe, regular, clean, structured environment to get them out of the extreme chaos that is their home life. These kids homes are sleeping on a different floor every night, loud nasty rap music, occasional food items, not real meals, cursing and fighting, beating, trash, filth, drinking and drugging. A preschool and a regular schedule is a lifeline.
Kids in this situaion need to be placed in orphanages, civilized and trained to be useful citizens. Not left in tragic, uncared-for dysregulated situations.
Yes, some families aren't worth preserving. But, the kids want to be with their "parents" in many cases. It is a horrible situation. When the kids are removed it is not pretty, they are screaming and crying and so are their parents, it is done by force. It is ugly.
WE don't but THEY do.
The longer the bastards in the "Educational" Establishment have the young minds under their control, the better they can brainwash them into thinking Marxist subversives like the monster in the White House, are the right choice in elections.
And they bring those learned cultural behaviors into the school and pollute the efforts of the few families left who are trying to properly raise their kids. No thanks.
you are exhibiting your me only mindset
Maybe, but they don't want that very much. For example, they don't want it enough even to express disapproval of promiscuous sex, let alone take action to discourage this behavior.
They don't want it enough to use the educational systems currently in existence to teach reading and math in ways that are proven effective.
Maybe it would be more accurate to say, "Everyone wishes children could have the best start in life without in any way requiring adults to move beyond the toddler-level value of 'I want what I want when I want it.' "
I don't think kids who are being raised to be calm, polite, little citizens need to be exposed to those who have been raised to think obscene and violent language and actions are normal. When my daughter was in elementary school, she was embarassed on the school bus by another little girl who got on top of her and started humping her. She didn't even know what was going on when the older kids made fun of her from then on out. But that's what the child had observed in her "home."
Any individual or group that espouses homosexual and lesbian weddings, transgendered bathrooms, and sessions in the lower grades that cover (almost everything about) the glories of homosexuality has no business running this country.
They want to get their filthy hands on our children and grandchildren as early as possible. Deny them this vehemently.
Good summary.
And you, Yardbird, are exhibiting your one-track mindset, albeit in incorrect grammar.
Archie's comments were on target and are in step with most of us who contribute to and use this website.
So. In order to save those who are disadvantaged by having utterly worthless parents, you endorse forcing those who come from caring households to waste another year of their young lives exposed to hopeless cases.
Give them breakfast, lunch and, yes, even dinner.
How about yanking them out of their dysfunctional homes, sterilizing their parents and placing them in orphanages?
It makes just as much sense as creating another federally edicted year of schooling .
It becomes clear as to which side of the line you stand.
My kids go to private school and there is the home school option.
But you with your attitude are protecting the fortunate from the unfortunate and condemning the unfortunate to floundering in their mess. Weren't you the one that recently pointed out to me that Jesus ate with tax collectors and prostitutes? Is it correct to simply condemn the unfortunate as hopeless?
Actually, my recommendation is to make urban areas very business friendly so that anyone who wants a job can find one and thereby bring hope back into the equation. You realize, of course, that a lot of these awful problems are exacerbated by a devastated economy.
what were you thinking having her on the school bus
my name is not yardbird, you are hilarious, it spells "Wildstreak" and no, not ungrammatical, I am an English major. ding dong anybody home?
well don't send your children then, you have options.
I smell a socialist.
Yes, smartarse (much better than Yardbird). I'm not an English major, but I am a PhD.
So there.
jump back! whoa there! PhD!
Wrong, the heavenly aroma you detect is an orthodox Catholic, never a socialist. I do have compassion for the misled and uneducated like this poor Kiki kid. Do you really think any kid, upon realizing his parents are worthless dregs, is pleased with that knowledge?
oh ok
Anyone who advocates for state-sponsored universal childcare is a socialist.
kids want to be with their parents in many cases. It is a horrible situation. When the kids are removed it is not pretty, they are screaming and crying and so are their parents, it is done by force. It is ugly.
Kids want to be with their abusers too. but doesnt mean they should. Parents who dont parent are abusers and neglectful.
Hilter did the same thing in Germany, even creating babies on the assembly line, and indoctrinating each to be a good Nazi ready to die for the Fatherland.
Kids in this situaion need to be placed in orphanages....
The goal is birth through age 22. Every last escape route must be closed.
This is why the Left constantly pushes for "free" college, pre-school and daycare.
They want it all. And parents have complied. Overwhelmingly.
Of course, they want to be with their parents — no matter how abusive the parents are — so, yes, they will cry and scream. But sometimes we must do things for children for their own good.
State-sponsored childcare "crowds out" private child care, such as church-based childcare. When government power goes up, the influence of religion goes down.
You've summed it up brilliantly, apillar. When I was a kid, kindergarten was optional. That changed to mandatory and became a half day. That changed to mandatory full day. I said then that pre-school would become mandatory... half day at first until it is a full day. After that, nursery school will come next.
I will say this and I don't care if I get flamed or not. I am sick and tired of more social programs for "the children". Everything is for the children. Take guns away FOR THE CHILDREN, more welfare FOR THE CHILDREN, more WIC, free housing, school supplies FOR THE CHILDREN. It is such bull. It has nothing to do "for the children" at all... it is simply a way to control. If a parent(s) of limited income really wanted to help their child.. it's easy. It is called getting off your butt and doing it yourself. How hard is it to teach colors, numbers, how to write your name. It would take less than a half an hour a day but no... we need big government, teacher unions and another person (i.e. us) paying for it.
Do I feel sorry for little kids born to rotten parents? Of course I do. However, the government wants all kids.. not just the "poor" ones. They want them all indoctrinated.. not just the poor ones.
HA, HA, HA! I don't care who you are. That's funny.
(From a guy with a master's in English ;-) )
Then the next step is to make it compulsory....
Bingo! Yes, you are right. They want control of the children so that they can indoctrinate them.
You are right in all that you say except your reference to the time frame. I remember attending a talk in the 1970s — long before I ever had the misfortune to lay eyes upon Bill Clinton — which was part of a gathering of educators focused on preschool education.
I left long before it was over but not before I heard some ninny on the stage gushing on about the goal of getting the little ones at birth. She was quite serious. It was frightening.
I am an English major
So you are still in school and on a learner's permit for punctuation usage?
My daughter is almost 4. I realize when I take her out in public that she's one of the biggest kids I see around any more. It makes me sad. She learns so much from me.
I want my kids to have the best finish in life. I once looked at counties with the earliest mandatory child education. Those countries also had the highest teen suicide rates.
no I grajiated many moons ago and am on the downhill slide

Nicholas Krushenick was born in New York in 1929. He began his artistic career at the Art Students League after serving in World War II. Krushenick's early development coincided with the shift away from Abstract Expressionism and towards Pop that occurred in America in the late 1960s, and his use of strong colour and bold black outline in his graphic paintings and prints are indeed indicative of a Pop sensibility.
Farifax and mustard, a colour lithograph completed at Gemini Ltd in 1965, is a typical example of this tendency.

Pension fund returns hit 8% in 2012
Defined benefit pension schemes performed strongly last year despite a mixed year for the markets, according to preliminary figures from State Street.
Headline industry average returns for pension funds are expected to be about 8%, according to initial estimates from State Street's performance measurement arm The WM Company.
The firm's index comprises around 200 defined benefit pension schemes in the UK valued at about £500bn and represents about two-thirds of all DB assets in the UK.
In 2011, returns were 4%, according to the index.
Charity funds also had a successful 2012, with the WM Charity Fund Universe, which includes about 270 funds with a market value of about £9bn, showing headline industry average returns of about 11%. In 2011 this figure was -3%.
The positive performance comes against a mixed year for the markets. The effects of low global growth and the eurozone sovereign debt crisis were partially offset by a further bout of quantitative easing by the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi's vow to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro.
State Street said these positive elements had "provided powerful tail winds, supportive of riskier assets, particularly equities".
UK equities, for example, gained 13% over the year and outperformed the FTSE All Share index for the second consecutive year.
International equities, which State Street said represent 25% of the average fund's assets, buoyed results, delivering an aggregate return of 12%. European equities were the best sub-section, returning 18% over the year. Japan returned under 5%.
The firm also found that funds with 'real' asset exposures, such as land or commodities, fared best.
Jeanette Patrizio, senior vice-president of State Street Investment Analytics, said: "Whilst positive asset returns are very welcome, trustees and fund sponsors remain challenged with ultra-low bond yields continuing to weigh on the liability side of the balance sheet." Long-dated UK government bonds, for example, produced a return of 3%, compared to corporate bonds' 13% performance.
State Street said funds also continued to buy property in 2012, despite challenges in the sector.

Strategy: Building and Maintaining Database Access Control Permissions
Database permissions can cause headaches for even the most sophisticated security organizations. Indeed, many of the most persistent problems with malicious or risky database access start before the database server software is even up and running. Why are database access controls so maddeningly complex? In a word, flexibility — the very flexibility that enables organizations to create multiple and interlocking roles can also create a knot of confusion and vulnerability. In this Dark Reading report, we look at the products and practices that companies can put into place to untangle database access control permissions and establish order moving forward. (S6500213)

Off-road races benefit area
The culmination of months of planning and hard work will culminate this weekend. For the 38th year, the annual Bark River Off-Road Races will take place at Bark River International Raceway. Racing begins tonight and continues Saturday and Sunday.
Anyone who has followed the event over time knows it has become bigger, better and more popular with each passing year. There are some changes this year – such as moving the race date from August to June – but all signs point to another successful year for the races and the group that makes the event happen year after year – the Bark River Lions Club.
The event is more than an opportunity for race fans to gather, though. The race has been and continues to provide far-reaching benefits for the local area.
Thousands of people gather for the off-road races year after year. Those race fans spend money here – money that circulates through the community. It provides an early summer economic boost to the area.
The races also bring name recognition to the area. Visitors who attend and enjoy the races are likely to come back. Chances are those trips may take them to the other attractions Delta County has to offer.
Perhaps the most important benefit the races have to offer come from the Bark River Lions Club itself. The annual race is one of the ways the club finances its charitable work and programs that give back to the community all year. Their contributions are too numerous to mention, but they all enrich the community and the people who call it home.
You can help the Bark River Lions Club and the work they do by supporting their efforts and attending the races this weekend. Racing begins today with Pro 2, Pro 4, and Pro Light scheduled at 7 p.m. On Saturday, opening ceremonies begin at 10:50 a.m., with races beginning right after and lasting through the final race of the day at 4:35 p.m. The closing ceremonies will take place Sunday at 10:50 a.m., with the final race of the day scheduled for 4:35 p.m.
The Bark River Lions Club puts in countless hours every year to make this event possible. Spend a few hours this weekend at the Bark River Off-Road races. You'll have fun and further the efforts of a community-minded club.

At Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint, to go "whole hog" literally means roasting a 200-pound hog in its entirety. On Triple D, Guy helped slather sauce on the signature pork — and he's glad he did. The luscious pork is served in Martin's Redneck Tacos, using cornbread hoecakes in lieu of tortillas. As Guy says, it's "porkapalooza."

The Book: Milton Friedman: A concise guide to the ideas and influence of the free-market economist by Eamonn Butler
The Gist: As the subtitle suggests, this short book provides a concise overview of the ideas and influence of the late economist, Milton Friedman
The Quote: "[T]he supporters of tariffs treat it as self-evident that the creation of jobs is a desirable end, in and of itself, regardless of what the persons employed do. That is clearly wrong. If all we want are jobs, we can create any number—for example, have people dig holes and then fill them up again, or perform other useless tasks. Work is sometimes its own reward. Mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want. Our real objective is not just jobs but productive jobs–jobs that will mean more goods and services to consume."
The Good: The book includes numerous direct quotes from Friedman . . .
The Blah: . . . but far too many of the quotes are taken from an interview in Playboy magazine rather than from Friedman's own writings.

Please Note: Baits and Jigheads not included.
The "hottest fishing tool on the bass market today" - the Megabass Spark Prop Type delivers a level or realism and quality that only legendary Japanese lure designer, Yuki Ito, could create. The Megabass Spark Prop Type features an original 3D hand-carved body, five 7" welded shut wires (1.2mm), a pronounced metal prop for added attraction, and premium snaps and swivels.
Often referred to as an umbrella-rig, the Megabass Spark Prop Type is designed to resemble a school of baitfish. It can be cast and retrieved at a steady pace, or allowed to fall through suspended schools of fish. Very versatile, it can also be rigged with a wide variety of lures, including soft plastic swimbaits, grubs, jig heads and small spinnerbaits.
Its design allows you to spread out the wire arms into various positions. Leaving the slightly longer wire in the middle and spreading the rest of the wires an equal distance apart is its most common configuration, but your imagination is the only limitation for the variety of configurations and lure presentations you can use. It can even be rigged with your favorite lures for bottom fishing, such as Texas-rigged worms, creature baits and jigs.
Professional bass angler, Paul Elias used an umbrella-rig to run away with the win at the October 2011 Lake Guntersville FLW Tour Open. (The entire top-5 actually used umbrella-rig as well). Dan Morehead also used the umbrella-rig to win at the Kentucky Lake Everstart Championship, as did Scott Brummett at the Walmart BFL Wheeler Lake Regional.
Don't forget to check with your State's laws regarding the legal use of this product, since it is designed to fish up to five baits at a time.

More good than bad with Common Core
The Common Core seems quite good overall, even though we still have some problems with the way New York state implemented these new, nationwide school standards.
After seeing a sizable portion of the Common Core in action with our own children, and after hearing from many teachers and principals, we think we can reassure parents who opted their children out of last year's tests that the water is safe to swim in this spring. It's brisk, but not shark infested.
We disagree with people who say the Common Core promotes rote memorization at the expense of teaching students to think. What we've seen is more like the opposite. There seem to be more multi-function problems for students to figure out, challenging them to use logic and imagination as well as what they learned.
It also puts more focus, in math, on mastery of one function before moving on to the next – waiting for division, for instance, until students are stronger in multiplication. This steady, depth-learning approach is a nice retreat from cultural trends toward multi-tasking and outsourcing our brain functions to electronic devices. It will serve the students well in the future. How many of us adults too easily forget our times tables? Maybe the next generation will do better in that regard.
By now, all parents should have received the results of their children's standardized tests last April. Teachers have also received their evaluations, with student test scores factored in. Scores dropped dramatically, as expected. We suspect that's partly because the state didn't give teachers enough materials last year. Mostly, however, it's because these tests are simply more challenging – which is good. The bar has been raised, equally for all. Life is challenging, and responding to challenge is how we get stronger. That's the basic concept behind all exercise, physical and mental.
Another plus for the Common Core is that it is what its name declares, a common, single standard without variation by state – except for those states that haven't adopted it yet. New York did, which was wise.
What was unwise, we think, was the haste of implementation, tying students' test scores to teacher evaluations, and the tests' marathon length. Nine hours' worth per child, in six days spread over two weeks, is overdoing it – although thankfully the state Education Department will now start to rein that in.
New York rammed the Common Core into place last school year, and there's been unnecessary pain as a result of that. A two- or three-year phase-in would have been better, but New York was eager to get federal Race to the Top money. It certainly was a race, and some students and teachers were stepped on.
Because the state didn't provide teachers with enough materials to prepare students for last year's tests, kids were asked things they hadn't been taught. Those additional, necessary teaching modules are now available.
The powerful state teachers union, New York State United Teachers, says that because of these flubs, there should be a three-year moratorium on using test results in teacher evaluations. That might make sense.
It's important to note that NYSUT supports the Common Core, as do national teacher unions.
"NYSUT supports the Common Core Learning Standards as they are deeper, clearer, and if implemented appropriately, they have the potential to improve student learning," the union states on its website. It adds, however, "Educators across New York state have made it clear that additional resources are required to make the implementation of the Common Core standards a success."
We agree. Unfortunately, advocacy turned to rabble rousing as the first of a series of Common Core forums with state education Commissioner John King turned ugly. King canceled the rest of them, then thankfully reinstated them. We hope he has the courage to listen with open ears to the people who have been upset by the state's Common Core implementation, and we also hope the other side can be respectful and try to understand how these new standards might improve education in the long run.

And they've got a great chance of getting it with Jamie Diamond on the hill for the Twins. Not only is he left-handed, he can actually pitch a little.
Last time out the Tribe scraped together 3 hits off him in 9 innings. Tonight I'm going out on a limb and predicting they double that total. Yeah, damn it, you heard me, DOUBLE THAT TOTAL!!!
I'm not going so far as to predict they score a run, though. Gotta be realistic.
Keep moving up that draft board, fellas.

Channeling the Pacific Northwest - Page 3
The sound of my strides up the unpaved road alternated between muddy slaps and splashes. A farm of some kind–sugar cane?—appeared on a ridge. I settled into a rhythm. The rain, naturally, continued.
At a hilltop, miles into the jungle, I came across a small settlement. Chickens scattered from the road.
In the heart of these homes and their holey thatched roofs stood a two-story church painted a brilliant turquoise. Amidst all the dripping dreariness, it practically gave off light. As I stood there, literally soaking it all in, I heard the soft, peaceful singing of a woman on a nearby porch.
For the first time during this vacation, I smiled during a run. I headed back, glancing again at the radiant church. Maybe that's how trail runners in the Pacific Northwest come to love this weather: they recognize the magical snapshots between the raindrops.
Garett Graubins can see clearly now. The rain is gone.

On pizza day, I take it out of the fridge and put it on the counter about an hour before pizza time. At pizza time, I empty the sticky dough out of the bag onto flour and start shaping my pizza. One minor problem I've had is with the shape. When I dump it out of the bag, it's always strangely shaped, and my final pizza looks much more like a random major continent than a circle.
When the dough is thawed, but before it's final room-temperature proofing, form it into a domed ball by holding it in both hands and tucking your fingers underneath it over and over until it resembles a mushroom cap.
When it is ready, gently slide/dump it into a small pile of flour without distorting the shape. If you do, it will collapse the gluten.

Wow! finally found a domestic source of authentic Japanese kitchen teas, in Edgewater, NJ, Mitsui Plaza! They sell bags of 50 mugicha bags for $2.50! And genmai cha - five different kinds! I got the Itoen - 300 grams for $3.50. Also another traditional tea, a smoked green mixed with barley shoots. I need more tea containers.
Also, Yuki sent me a box of greens from her local Jasco in Nara, Japan. Good times, good times.
If anyone is in the Northern NJ / New York City area, try to get to Mitsui Plaza. Trust me, it's awesome.

In late November, I had the privilege of attending my first aviation event focused on agricultural aviation and aerial application, known to fans of the movie "Planes" and most of the public as cropdusting. While I've been around aviation and airports nearly all of my adult life, my exposure to agricultural aviation has been limited, and as I learned, my knowledge naïve. And even though my wife grew up in northwest Kansas in a family that farmed and with a dad who owned a spray service, I never had the opportunity to meet him, or learn much about this small aviation niche during my days on the airport side of our industry.
So with that background, I attended a day of the Colorado Aerial Applicators Association's (CAAA) annual conference in Loveland, where about 150 ag pilots, vendors and their families had convened to talk all things ag. And what did I learn? That ag pilots are some of the most welcoming, passionate, entertaining and knowledgable pilots I've met. During the course of my day, I spent time learning about the myriad of challenges faced by ag pilots- stringent rules on materials handling, complex EPA stormwater requirements at airports, continuing agricultural and aviation education demands, and of course, the constant threat posed by structures and obstructions like Meteorlogical Evaluation Towers (METs).
If you're not familiar with METs, these are small towers used to evaluate wind power generation feasibility at a particular location. METs are small, difficult to see, and often erected quickly with no notice, posing a significant hazard to low level aviation activities such as aerial application, firefighting and emergency medical service (EMS) operations. Because most METs are less than 200' tall and typically located in rural areas away from airports, they are not usually subject to obstruction review or approval by the Federal Aviation Administration under FAR Part 77. In the Northwest Mountain region, legislation addressing the marking, lighting and reporting of such towers has recently been passed in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Such marking, lighting and reporting of METs significantly improves aviation safety.
Recognizing this, the National Transportation Safety Board weighed in last May, when it released a Safety Recommendation about the towers and how ideally they should be lit, marked and reported. For those not familiar with METs, the Nebraska Aviation Trades Association has comprehensive MET information, along with an excellent five minute video.
Across the country, my fellow AOPA regional managers and I are working with aerial applicators and others to mitigate the impact of (METs) on aviation. In Colorado, through the initaitive of AOPA and the recently established Colorado General Aviation Alliance, discussions about legislation to require the marking and lighting of METs in the state began earlier this year. At the CAAA convention in November, I had the opportunity to participate in a legislative forum led by State Represenative Jerry Sonnenberg, an AOPA member and active GA supporter from Sterling, who has agreed to sponsor a bill in the 2014 Colorado General Session addressing the hazards posed by METs.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Colorado's aerial applicators and learning more about this unique segment of general aviation. I'm looking forward to collaborating with them and others to improve aviation safety in Colorado, and across the Northwest Mountain Region. In fact, myself and AOPA are also already hard at work with our partners in Washington state on similar MET legislation in 2014, so stay tuned.
Oh, and the best part about hanging out with ag pilots? Hands down, I think they have the best flying stories of any pilots I've encountered. When was the last time you met a pilot who survived a mallard strike through the windscreen and into his chest at 140 knots while in a climbing turn at 50′ AGL?

Farmers dealing with dry soil welcome snow
Farmers say snow helps regenerate water supply in soil
MADISON, Wis. - Sunday's snowfall in southern Wisconsin not only put people in the holiday spirit but also gave area farmers much-needed hope for healthy soil.
As the Vermont Valley Community Farm prepares the final CSA shares of the season, the community-supported farm in Blue Mounds said the recent blanket of snow is welcome moisture after enduring a very dry summer.
Farmers say they'll need a robust winter season to help battle potential drought and prepare for a promising spring.
"In the snow, particularly given the drought, winter is an opportunity to regenerate your water supply. Groundwater levels are quite low. There are ponds out there that are lower than normal," said David Perkins, of Vermont Valley Community Farm.
Mike Noltnerwyss, from nearby Crossroads Community Farm, said he plans to invest tens of thousands of dollars into new irrigation systems.
"The yield in vegetable farming is entirely tied to water. When you look at what vegetables are made up of, it's water, and if you have enough, you can pay back your investment very quickly," Noltnerwyss said.17726792
The farmers said they hope to reap more rewards after the snow melts.
"So over the winter, whether it's a combination of snow or rain, you're hoping for moisture through the winter that will actually make a difference coming into the spring," Perkins said.
On top of the winter moisture, farmers are hoping all that water won't have to battle too much frost come spring.

Skip to comments.Report: Chris Christie Declined Attending Romney Sunday Political Event
Posted on 11/05/2012 7:06:51 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Is this the case of a broken heart? And, if so, whose? The Huffington Post reports that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declined attending a Sunday campaign event for Republican Presidential nominee and his onetime best political best bud former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. And from the quote from a Romney bigwig in the HP story, Team Romney is NOT happy:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was effusive in his praise of President Barack Obama when the two leaders toured damage from Hurricane Sandy last week, turned down a request by Mitt Romney to appear with him at a rally on Sunday night in Pennsylvania, The Huffington Post has learned.
Christies decision will only add to questions among Republicans about what the governor who is up for reelection a year from now is thinking, and why he went out of his way to heap praise on the president, and then refused to appear with Romney.
The Romney rally was held at a farm in Morrisville, Pa., not more than 20 minutes from Trenton, the New Jersey capital. The physical proximity of the event to New Jersey only added to questions in the Romney campaign about why Christie chose not to come.
You cant tell me he couldnt have gone over there for a night rally, a Romney campaign source told HuffPost.
Christie did, however, has had some more contact (telephone) with Obama since the storm and his official calls. Obama was playing Yenta the Matchmaker so Christie could talk to his longtime hero, singer and prominent New Jersey resident Bruce Springstein:
President Obama connected Bruce Springsteen and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie during a phone call from Air Force One Monday, TPM has confirmed. The New Jersey legend campaigned with the president in Wisconsin and Ohio on Monday.
Heres Christie talking about his talk with his hero:
Theres all kinds of speculation about what has gone on with Obama, Christie and Romney. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. Christie seemed genuinely in a state of grief over what happened to his state and he welcomed Obamas efforts.
2. Conservatives who started blasting him and demonizing him for cooperating with Obama like politicians for centuries of both parties have worked together in times of crisis made a big mistake. Im sure it was not lost on him.
3. He may have concluded a)Romney is going to lose b)its easier for him to run in 2016 if there is no Republican in the White House.
4. Team Romney was clearly behind a piece in The Politico that was not entirely complimentary to Christie saying he had been Romneys original first choice for V.P.
5. He may have been resentful about not being asked.
6. He TRULY has wanted to interact with Springstein.
7. He may shift that there is a hunger more than ever for many Americans to see people of both parties work together rather than constantly snipe at each other to score points. 8. Rupert Murdochs virtual threat to Christie may have caused the Governor to dig in his heels. To you, buddy!
It may be a story of two politically broken hearts.
I am really disappointed in Christie.
Christie lost me when he lowered the flag to half staff for the singin' druggie...How dare he....
working with the POTUS of the opposite party to assure your citizens get help is one thing, sticking your tongue down his throat is a horse of a different color. christie is done in republican politics and will at some point become a democrat or an independent.
We're I Romney, I'd kick that fat S.O.B. to the curb.
Christie couldn't attend.
He was busy eating the Short Hills Mall.
would you people relax? Of course Christie can not go- his state is still a disaster area from a hurricane
Fat crybaby couldn't get votes outside of NJ, that's for sure.
I don't think he is stupid enough to not realize that his sloppy kisses and hugs would not give Obama a big boost. I think he figured that the storm would lock it up for Obama and showed everyone what a truly pathetic coward that he is. He will never have my respect or support again.
Who needs a morbidly obese moslem-lover?
But he will most certainly be in the refrigerator!!
Have Nest, Will Crap In...I really don't know what to make of Christie. He seems all squared-away much of the time, has dome some really good things in NJ (of all places), takes the message to the unionitas better than anyone - and yet he turns around and pulls stunts like this.
All I can say is "Enjoy being Governor, Chris", because this is it for him.
He's a RINO douchebag. This should have been clear after he named a gay black Democrat and a CAIR-linked Muslim to the NJ Supreme Court.
He was busy having a threesome with Barry and the Boss. (That might be more like a foursome).
This story has been debunked, and that website is piece of junk.
Christie was occupied... breaking ground for a Jersey City mosque.
geez, what a baby
This was my first thought as well. Can you imagine the outcry in NJ if their Governor left the state to campaign when so many of his citizens are still without shelter, heat, food, water, etc.
I'm not appologizing for Christie, there are many other things to castigate him over, but c'mon, think about this before you get in an uproar.
Why? He's just a democrat who doesn't like unions.
Truthfully, the second I heard Christie's over-the-top praise of Obama, I thought it was an intentional f-bomb to Romney, almost like he was waiting for the moment. Actually, Christie did nothing to advance Romney at the convention either. Something prior to that has happened and I think it was a big fat VP rejection. (No pun intended)
NEVER trust a RINO. PERIOD.
dollars to donuts the chicago machine has photos of christie pudding wrestling rosie o'donnell and made it clear they aren't afraid to use 'em.
Debunked here... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2955491/posts
I think Christie is genuinely and profoundly affected by the hurricane...some people become more emotional than others...
it doesn't matter one iota....
let Christie be Christie....if he feels he has to hob nob with the chief rat to get better treatment for his people, so be it....
politics is 100% you kiss my backside and I'll kiss yours...doubly important to bamey boy...
THis is absurd. I doubt Romney's team is upset. Christie is a republican governor of a state that was devastated by a hurricane.
If Christie left his state to go to a Romney campaign event, EVERY national news story would be about how Romney/Christie were abandoning suffering people for politics.
There is no way a Christie appearance at a campaign event would NOT be used by the media as an attack on Romney.
God, i'm so glad this guy wasn't selected for VP...what a TOOL...
Christie is being used by the left (due to how he responded to Obama).
I saw a lib political operative say on O'Reilly tonight how Christie can cross the aisle but that she did not see Romney ever doing the same so vote for OBama, the peace maker.
So they have their talking points, thanks to fat boy.
Very true. Christie takes a lot of media grief and handles
it well. But if he leaves his post now he will regret it later.
Smart move for him if it is true. He is not needed anyway.
"Christie lost me when he lowered the flag to half staff for the singin druggie...How dare he...."
You're not alone on that one, believe me.
20 minutes from his office in Trenton? At night? I don't believe that for a second.
"I am really disappointed in Christie."
I'm not. Christie is and has always been a RINO. Nothing has changed.
"I am really disappointed in Christie."
I'm not. Christie is and has always been a RINO. Nothing has changed.
"I am really disappointed in Christie."
I'm not. Christie is and has always been a RINO. Nothing has changed.
was he a secret 'bi' deciding to come out of the closet full gay after getting rejected by a female for love? Seems so. Democrat Christy. Sad but true. Maybe he has man crush on Bambi Do Wrong after being rejected by Romney Do Right
Amazing, still, that people label Chris Christie as a "Conservative".
and in this case it will cost him a larger, national political career. This combined with the beta male picture following Obama around like the unpopular fat kid in grade school cost him his political life and sucked away all political capitol he had built up. The ocean washed away more than the NJ shore it seems. Swept his future right out from under him.
yeah. I never did understand that.
I'm not. Christie is doing what he was elected todo. Christie is the best Governor NJ has had and he's doing what he was elected, by people like me, to do.
The people who are "disappointed in Christie" are people who didn't support him initially.
are you series? I missed that one. what happened?
So glad you ain't Romney.
Very true.
What about he doesn't care don't you understand? He's the Governor of NJ and he's doing the job we elected him to do. He's stated plainly he isn't interested in Pres or VP and he's running for Gov of NJ again when his term is up.
We Conservative Republicans like him and elected him for our State.
He's human, far from perfect/pure, unlike some of you who seem to think you're perfect. GMAFB. People like you wouldn't have voted for him anyway and Thank Heavens you ain't in NJ.
Again, Thank heavens you aren't in NJ.
He doesn't want or need your support. Those of us in NJ like him just fine.
Yes. This is what my husband said as well (the first part. the latter I knew.)
Thank you. But it's useless.
I don't get these supposedly conservative republicans and the vitriol directed at Christie.
Again, voice of reason in a thread seriously lacking reason.

Treaty outlasts the nation
Although the Confederation of Peru and Bolivia lasted only three years, this ornate treaty remains as a record of that brief period. Bolivia's dictator, Andre Santa Cruz, conquered Peru in 1835, established the Confederation of Peru and Bolivia, and took the lifetime position of Protector. With this Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, signed in Lima, Peru, on November 30, 1836, the United States recognized the new nation. The Confederation dissolved in 1839. Cruz authenticated his signature with a silver disk, or skippet, containing a wax seal.

Just want to know what anyone thinks of my loaner setup for when I bring anyone new to the field. I give them this for the day so they start out good.

Yeah the clothes were just my older clothes I had. A few yesrs back I made a post exactly like this, back when I had only a year of experience, so my loaners were always hawaiian shirts. Afterwards I used my brothers dye clothing that he always uses, and then my own empire setup. If im not playing on my team, I roll disruptive gear, so my multiple empire attire is free for anyone.
Posted 24 February 2013 - 07:50 PM
That's not bad actually. Give em a mech gun cuz they prob won't shoot too much paint, but still regulated, and a good hoper. I'm personally not the biggest fan of the flexes but overall not bad. I think if my first day of paintball had that I'd certainly come back again. 9/10

I agree, who ever has to use this setup will surely mow faces.

I have the same marker for my loaner setup.
Posted 27 February 2013 - 04:01 PM
Perfect setup for anyone playing recball (using mech markers) at any level. I think the eNMEy is the best mech marker, and definitely usable for speedball cause of the light/short trigger pull and smallish frame

The NAIA is currently holding its 75th annual tournament in Kansas City. As part of the event, they named a team of 60 former players and 15 coaches to its all-time team, The Pipers made eight appearances in the Elite Eight from 1942-60, winning three crowns and finishing second on another occasion. Hal Haskins, who played here form 1947-50 and Vern Mikkelsen, who was here from 1947-49, were named as players. Joe Hutton, who coached all those teams that made the regular trek to Kansas City and Don Meyer, who started his coaching career at Hamline, made it to the coaches' team. Meyer, who was the winningest coach in college men's bb history when he retired two years ago (923), was honored for his days as the coach at Lipscomb.

They join a group that includes such well-known names as John Wooden, Willis Reed, Earl Monroe, Terry Porter and Jack Sikma.

Beautiful job Craig - has the square bug bitten you?KABF will always be on the tough side without a mixer session and a longer bulk. You can use the dough calculator with a TF of .13-.18 to get a rough idea of what Bonci might use for dough ball size compared to your rectangular pan. A lot of the height you get on the bake is in part due to how well you develop the dough. I have seen Matt do .12 and get serious height, and I have done .18 and gotten flat results.John
Thanks John, it's growing on me. What do you mean by "mixer session?" I mixed the dough in the picture above by hand.Do you think KAAP would be a better choice? What is the best method to get the dough even in the pan?Thanks.
What is the best method to get the dough even in the pan?
At that high a hydration, it is extremely difficult to get the dough even in the pan (I also have a really hard time). But I think that one of the defining characteristics of this pizza is the peaks and valleys that ensue. Many of Bonci's pies exhibit this unevenness.John
If I get a chance, I'll do a video this weekend of the mixing, balling, & panning. Matt
How's this for originality???http://pizzarium-us.com/#menu-item-50
Matt - Thanks so much for posting those videos. You can see how a spiral mixer is so gentle even at a relatively moderate speed. There is none of the smashing and slapping that happens in a kitchen aid. Also, I understand now why the double hydration is important - your mixing gets done more efficiently at the lower hydration, especially with the spiral.As it applies to this style, I would suggest the spiral is more akin to gentle hand development over a period of a few hours, but gets the job done in a matter of minutes.If you were choosing a spiral or fork mixer for general use, what would you go with if money and space were not prohibitive?John
No problem at all John. My choice hands down would be a spiral over a fork for general purpose home use. That being said, it would be great to have 2 speed but it's not possible without 3 phase power. Matt
Thanks Matt - And for a business you would choose the fork?John
That would be fantastic. I plan on making my first Pizzarium pies of the season on Monday. John
Yes, you want 15% of active levain, just as you would use for your Tartine loaf. I would stretch the bulk out to 3.5 hours if you are cold fermenting. John
Great, so if I understand correctly, I wouldn't need to make a pre-ferment 12hrs in advance?Thanks for the comment on the bulk proof, that's also what's recommended in the Tartine book so that makes sense.
