4 Favorite Family Getaways
Great Midwest vacations for all ages
The kids need a pool, preferably with a really cool water slide or two. The grown-ups would like at least one non-hot-dog meal, and the outdoorsy types won't be happy unless they get in a hike.
Whether it's you and a child or two, or the whole extended clan, the classic summer vacation gets complex in a hurry. So we did the legwork for you. On the following slides you'll find information on four of our favorite family destinations: Brainerd area, Minnesota; Branson area, Missouri; Minocqua area, Wisconsin; and Traverse bays area, Michigan.
What's your favorite Midwest spot for a family vacation? Tell us about it in the Comments section below!
Playing in and out of the water in Brainerd, Minnesota
Central Minnesota's resort country is a magnet for families looking to create summertime legends, with 465-plus lakes, 120 lodging choices and 25 golf courses sprawled around Brainerd, 130 miles northwest of the Twin Cities.
Everywhere you turn here, a sparkling lake twinkles back at you. Whether you stay on the shore of 7-mile-wide Gull Lake or teeny-tiny Lost Lake, you'll find plenty of ways to get out and get wet. For those craving more than sun and sand, the area offers lots of dry-land alternatives, including award-winning golf courses and the 100-mile Paul Bunyan Trail for cycling.
The next three slides have information on what to do, where to eat and where to stay in the Brainerd area.

Neon and nature in Branson, Missouri
Neon marquees light the night sky above Branson, Missouri, where more than 50 theaters stage 100 different splashy, family-friendly shows. If that's not enough entertainment, the Ozarks-style Silver Dollar City theme park mixes history and crafts with cool rides. Plus, visitors are drawn to the area's plentiful shops, including outlet malls and the new upscale, lakeside Branson Landing.
But there's another side to this Ozark Mountain destination (35 miles south of Springfield): the area's natural attractions. Surrounding Branson, man-made Table Rock is so vast that you can boat all day without seeing all of it. Coves offer fishers opportunities for undisturbed casting. Parks are so quiet that you might not guess that all Branson's attractions and commotion are minutes away.
The next three slides have information on what to do, where to eat and where to stay in the Branson area.
Branson: what to do

Quintessential resort feel in Minocqua area, Wisconsin
Popcorn-and fudge-scented air hums with the buzz of speedboats and the putter of pontoons in Minocqua and the surrounding towns of Woodruff, Arbor Vitae, Boulder Junction and Hazelhurst, the woodsy heart of northern Wisconsin vacationland (165 miles northwest of Green Bay).
There are lots of reasons for the area's reputation as an ideal lake getaway -- at least 4,200 of them. That's the number of lakes (3,200) in Vilas and Oneida counties, plus the number of rooms, condos and cabins (1,000) that line their pine-shaded shores. We didn't even count the supper clubs, cafes, shops, shows and other attractions.
But you can still find natural lakes so quiet that the plunk of a lure echoes from shore to shore. Towns like Minocqua are the quintessential resort-area destination -- the one most people dream of when they're stuck in a cubicle on a sunny day.
The next three slides have information on what to do, where to eat and where to stay in the Minocqua area.

The pleasures of beach life in Michigan
A century ago, the first steamships full of vacationers docked along the northwest corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. The lands along Grand and Little Traverse bays have been entertaining summer visitors ever since.
The region has accumulated a stellar selection of resorts, golf courses, chef-owned restaurants, shopping districts, artists' enclaves and other diversions. But the biggest draw remains the pure pleasures of beach life and the water. Miles of sand rim the blue water of Lake Michigan. The southern anchor is Traverse City, at the foot of Grand Traverse Bay. The beaches run all the way to Petoskey, 60 miles north on Little Traverse Bay.
The next three slides have information on what to do, where to eat and where to stay in the Traverse bays area.

A Better Way to Share Posts in Google Reader
"It's as if whoever made the update did so without ever actually using the product to, you know, read something. Reader is a product built to consume information, quickly. We designed it to be very good at that one thing. G+ is an experience built around browsing (similar to Facebook) and socializing. Taking the UI paradigm for G+ and mashing it onto Reader without any apparent regard for the underlying function is awful and it shows," says Brian.
One of Brian's complaints is that it's a lot more difficult to share a post in the new interface. Instead of clicking "Share" or using a keyboard shortcut, you now have to click "+1", then click "Share on Google+", select your audience and then click the "Share" button. There's also a privacy downside: +1's are public, even if you only want to share a post with one or two people.
Fortunately, there's a way to share a post without first clicking +1, but it's not obvious. Just use the "share" box from Google's navigation bar.

The biggest problem with the Google Reader update is that it didn't change enough. It's the same old product, just white.ReplyDelete
I wanted a breath of fresh air, some cool new views.

R.I.P,Google Reader.ReplyDelete
As pointed out by Brian, "Reader is a product built to consume information".ReplyDelete
I have never used sharing in Google Reader, and not planning to use it in future.
The real problem is new UI. May be you were trying to make it easier to use. Most of the users of Google Reader, if not all, are tech-savvy.
There other problem is they removed basic functions. The rss feed of the share function was very useful to push selected articles to team members - anyone out there know of a similar service i can use? Exploring using instead 'send to...' say, delicious, but it is much to laborious than before.ReplyDelete

That's right Brian: "Reader is a product built to consume information"ReplyDelete
The prime function of 'Reader' is to easily read those articles and pages in the subjects in which we are interested. Sharing is secondary. The new layout has too much space, the list of entries was more compact and easier to read in the old layout.
It would be nice to have a Chrome Extension, which displays Google Reader in old UI. Think about it.ReplyDelete
Thanks in advance.

Google is rapidlly turning into a Microsoft.ReplyDelete
It used to make things that worked but looked kinda meh, because, it was shipped as beta, and everyone can see where the effort went into i.e. the functionality, so no one was too fussed about the look.
Now it ships stuff that look like a finished product but actually functions meh.
The new sharing system is great, unless Google+'s age restriction has you feeling more left out and literally boxed in than ever before.ReplyDelete

we allow you to bypass restricted sites at work, school or college, including unblocking sites like MySpace, Bebo, Facebook and plenty more! The best thing is that we are free and simple to use, so check it out and tell your friends!ReplyDelete
If you go to to settings and then choose the Send To tab, you can still use the custom link feature: http://www.avitricks.info/2011/10/how-to-share-google-reader-stories-on-google-plus.htmlReplyDelete

You just need to type "F" to go full screen.ReplyDelete
I just want "Note in Reader" back. That's all. Is that too much to ask for? If it ain't broke - don't eff it up by thinking you fixed it with some new UI changes and cramming a new service down our throats!ReplyDelete
Please stop whimming.. I bet that in one week you will not even remember how the interface was before.ReplyDelete
You have a such big inertia for any change that looks that if you could you would continue using BBS until today.
Regarding a "better way to share" and the "not obvious" part, how could it be more obvious to SHARE a item than clicking IN THE SHARE BOX?
YOU aren't used to click on the share. I am already, and I can't understand how you, so "tech-savvy", can't see that before!
I think you are all getting old and crabby and just want to rant for anything new and different that you are used to.
Even if the box is called "Share", it's not obvious that you can share the post you're currently reading just by clicking the box. Until now, you had to copy the URL and paste it.ReplyDelete
The standard way to share a post in Reader was to click "Share" at the bottom of the post. Now you need at least three clicks to share a post.
Looks as though there was no one left on the GReader team like Brian Shih with a clear understanding of the product's purpose. His thorough rundown of GReader's current breakdown is spot-on.ReplyDelete
In the mountains of criticism of the new GReader piling up all over the web I have yet to see a single person mention an alternative feed reader. I'm hoping a worthy competing service rises up in response to this disaster.
Diogo, obviamente vc não era um heavy user das funções eliminadas, portanto não faz idéia de como o novo método de share é falho, limitado e elimina qualquer similitude como o serviço provido anteriormente. Trocando em miúdos, antes de ter ficado melhor ou pior, ficou diferente, MUITO diferente, pra outro público, não o anterior. Alienar uma base estabelecida de usuários não é, nem nunca será, uma boa decisão.ReplyDelete
The only problem (at least for me, and some other folks I know), is absence of Google+, which effectively cuts off any social/sharing/plusing features from the new Reader.ReplyDelete
And, no. I'm not whining about sharing with +1 or share.
What I am whining about, is that they launched the new Reader with Google+ integration, but forgot that some Google Apps users (free edition, auto-new-features-and-all-that) do not have Google+ yet.
If talking about nuances, then I hope they will listen and fix all the stuff people are pointing at - design and usability issues.
Google+ is here to stay, and we just can't affect changes of Reader. If we can't affect them, then why bother?
Look I am still going to use Google Reader until it officially dies. I was a little sad yesterday and again today when I read an article and wanted to click like or share to my reader followers. So I suppose now I will have to +1 or whatever now. But I am now back to lurker mode and "forever alone" with the new reader.ReplyDelete
I import my google reader subscriptions into Flipboard on my Ipad and its great there.ReplyDelete
Can't share on the mobile version. Can +1 but that doesn't SHARE it. Not a fan of the removal of sharing in 1 click and reading articles shared by other people you choose to follow. Now the people on my Google+ are plagued by all my +1s when they didn't really opt in to follow all my shared articles. The aesthetic changes to Google Reader are nice. Bring back the functions users used and enjoyed, and likely opted for Google Reader over other RSS readers for those functions.ReplyDelete
I can't hide list of my feeds now it is too bad for reding photoblogs etc.ReplyDelete
Also this new design is a waste of my laptop screen space!
These Google services optimisation for G+ is a DISASTER!
Bring back old Reader layout for me!
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 8:14 AM
Wow, the new reader is a absolutely terrible! Pull your heads out of your G+ love fest room and start listening to the users!ReplyDelete
I agree with some of his criticism and am disappointed with the update. It used to be the easiest way to "read" rss feeds but that is no longer a priority. The sharing is a joke, clicking on all those buttons and making all those mini-decisions. Mark Zuckerberg must feel great realizing that Google just doesn't get it. Google desperately needs to hire some liberal arts kids and build stuff for users again, not for overpaid engineers.ReplyDelete
The problem is that I don't want to "share" articles to my outbound Google+ stream, and +1's are too hard to find.ReplyDelete
Under the What's hot in Sparks there should be a Friend's +1s section, so that people can find my shares there.
And I should be able to see friends +1s in Google Reader. Compared to Reader, G+ sucks for reading articles, I want to be able to see my friends stuff without leaving Google Reader.
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 8:26 AM
The share button is way to far to move my mouse - the redesign sucks.ReplyDelete
There's an even easier way to share, and it is to star items. If you'd enabled the public feed of starred items and kept the URL - that URL still works, it still gets new items and it even works without a Google Profiles account.ReplyDelete
What you do lose is comments.
The biggest issue is that now it requires you to visit two web sites to interact with friends and discuss shared items, where previously it required one. That's a 100% decrease in efficiency. Making it easier to share the posts, doesn't actually solve the problem of the fact it's now twice as hard to interact with them once they've been shared.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 8:46 AM
there's another problem - my Google Reader's navigation toolbar doesn't have Google+ share box! Not even Google+ link. Three days ago it has them.ReplyDelete
Thanks for this post, Alex. I was already working on a workaround greasemonkey script to revive sharing, but this is way easier. ;) Have to agree that it is far from obvious that the share button has migrated north. Maybe it was implemented with people in mind who already use the share button in some other Google product, but I'm not one of them. ;)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 10:14 AM
Here's one way to bring back sharing in Reader: http://thomaspark.me/2011/11/share-in-google-reader-again/ReplyDelete
@google #reader is dead for me now... I used to love it on my iPhone & now its worthless... Eat The Dog Food Much???ReplyDelete
The new Share button lacks the option to add tags, and G+ lacks tags (#tags are not the same). I used tags extensively with "Note in Reader" to mark non-RSS pages for later review.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 10:33 AM
But there is no select part of page to share only that content! :(ReplyDelete
I'm really disappointed with Google in this Reader case. Through the Reader, I could find people who shared some very interesting things, without being their friends, in relatively easily way. Now I have to wait until they found me in G+ or see things at the very sloppy interface of g+.ReplyDelete
To share posts there are also the groups. Look at the screenshots of this italian blog:ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 12:31 PM
I used to read stuff offline using Newsrob on Android, and share articles with commentary amongst a small group of work colleagues. I also consumed their shared items so read stuff I normally wouldn't see.ReplyDelete
Now I can't share at all at work since G+ is blocked by my corporate firewall
My biggest is the lack of innovation in Google Reader. I also do not think there been enough integration between Google + and Google Reader.ReplyDelete
Hopefully we will see both in the coming weeks and months.
You are so busy complaining that you even did not notice that now the Gmail interface is on?ReplyDelete
Some of use still have not got it yet Diogo :( I am the last to get everything.ReplyDelete
I'm not just whimmnig (whining?) because I hate change, I'm whining because this was a simple to use, share with one click product, with discussion enabled, that I could use in the workplace, even if my workplace blocks G+, and now that it's gone, it makes it so much harder to share things with a specialized team of people. If I wanted to put things into my google + stream, I'd do that-that was already possible before this update. I do think it's ugly and doesn't use the white space well, but I don't even care about that...I care that the functionality is gone. Which means I'll be jumping to any other product that lets me do this. I don't want a stream with any other stuff in it from other people, just my peeps and I sharing and commenting on a simple interface, without having to go to another page. It's just one less thing I"ll be using a google product for.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 2:30 PM
what's with the density? I see a lot of white space. Using my magnifier, I noticed there's news too on the thing. But one has to look carefully. Does Google give a toss?ReplyDelete
Is there a way to take a Note or Comment without sharing? I like to search my notes.ReplyDelete
The biggest issue is that you no longer see the things shared by the people you follow, unless you go to G+ which is a pain - if you could just opt in to follow the G+ posts of particular people in reader - could that not be a simple fix?ReplyDelete
I like the change... It's a lot speedier than before. The old version was laggy on my hardware. I suspect they changed more than just the interface..ReplyDelete
Even using the "share" button sends the link totally out of reader system and into plus. Anyone who uses reader for most of their reading will never see it. If they happen to also use plus, maybe they'll see it, though maybe they won't seeing how the read/unread system doesn't exist in g+ReplyDelete
How can I publish my shared items on my website now ? My shared items page has disapeared too ! You deprived my visitors of my selection of my reading. Give us back the traditionnal google reader features, even if it is published at the same time on plus1.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 6:43 PM
I f'ing hate the new reader and am getting tired of Google in general at this point. "Share" was so much better. If anything they should convert Google+ to be more like Reader.. not the other way around!ReplyDelete

Up until this I was a bit of a Google fanboy, but now I realize I was just a Google Reader fanboy. I used it every day to ready 500+ items. This new version is shit and completely unusable for how I approach RSS reading. Suddenly I find I don't care as much for Google overall as I thought I did.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2011 at 10:06 PM
same as above comment I want my reader :((((ReplyDelete
Well, for me, the main problem with the new reader interface is that I have a lot of difficulty to read things because it's difficult for me to distinguish them, everything looks like the same.ReplyDelete
I don't mind the new looks.. but I do mind the fact that I cannot share, or that I cannot follow people. Posting in circles is so much different.. Plus (yeah, ironic) it takes more then a click :PReplyDelete
About the reading experience: for me it would be useful to have a check-box for marking read items without the need to open them, like in gmail. At present we can do that massively for all the unread feeds, but we cannot chose any subset of them (unless going through the machinery of the "keep unread" thing).ReplyDelete
Actually the reader+sharing experience and the gmail experience are getting very much similar... maybe the two products could be really get integrated... I do not know...
I can learn to get along with the new UI. I'm a fan of minimalism, so I can learn to live with it. I can even learn to live with using the one-click "Share..." button at the top right corner of the screen. For me, I enjoyed sharing an article because I had it set up to automatically share on my Twitter wall. Now that the share button is gone, I can live with having to use the "Sent to..." button and have it go to Twitter (even though it opens up the Twitter page for you to complete the post). And I can even learn to live with having to go to G+ whenever I want to see said items that I shared.ReplyDelete
I REFUSE to accept the dismantling of the "Note in Reader" bookmarklet/button!! This was one of THE most useful tools offered by Reader. You're on a webpage, you want to save the 12th paragraph down, you highlight, click "Note in Reader"...done. Look at it later. Same with saving entire webpages and content. It even had the Share button on that. THIS is what I'm mostly upset with.
We had to know that Google was going to send Reader in a new direction and implement it with G+ at some point - I'm just very upset that they got rid of some of the most useful features. Fine, integrate with G+; but don't negate what people get the most use out of.
Though I'm mad at them, I still love Reader. This is just forcing me to find a work around. Forcing me to find something else that has the same features as the Note in Reader did. Perhaps 'Pintrest', Memonic, Webclip, or maybe even Evernote. Just frustrating.
@N: you can do that by selecting one of the circle filters on the left side bar. But I agree--it's still a far cry from the community I used to have.ReplyDelete
Super sad about the new updates globally across Google. If you're going to take more space for navigation and branding on content-focused applications, at least give users the option for a compact view. And add some color!ReplyDelete
Usability ≠ dumbing down design. Where's the sophistication Google users have come to expect?
- GregoryNovember 2, 2011 at 8:32 AM
With the Note in Reader where you can group all content by tags and make comments, greader is nearly useless.ReplyDelete
I was hoping Google would compete by being more like Google instead of becoming more like Apple.

there is a very simple fix for everything wrong with greader: feedly.comReplyDelete
and for sharing anything from anywhere to g+, facebook, twiiter and more, use chrome extension "surplus"
I agree with this article. I would rather have the old version.ReplyDelete
What about the reading area? Have you realized how small it is? http://goo.gl/ITTuzReplyDelete
Google reader was castrated, with no shares became useless...ReplyDelete
RIP Google reader
The worst thing to me, a loyal Google Reader user for years, is that you KILLED the shared item RSS feed (share -> RSS). A lot of people are already upset about it... Replacing Like with +1 is a great move, but WHY kill the shared feed, especially when G+ has no RSS....ReplyDelete
The death of google Reader was what made me finally sign up for google+, but not happy about it at all.ReplyDelete
It may be that I haven't used the new-look Reader enough yet, but I find it harder to read and use. I preferred the old version. I just hope I get used to the new one. Otherwise, I'm seriously considering abandoning it for a different RSS reader.ReplyDelete

I'd like to see the ability to place any of my photos in the background with the partial transparency for the text. Also, like the new GMail design, I'd like to choose the "Compact" setting to place the headers closer to each other.ReplyDelete
I was another user who read 500+ RSS feeds a day in Google Reader. I find the new layout horrible to use, so much so that I've started using FeedDemon instead. And I think getting rid of the simple sharing method was a big mistake.ReplyDelete
What are the keyboard shortcuts to +1 or share to Google Plus with a note?ReplyDelete
I feel that I lack reading space for my feeds, because there is a such large use of space at the top of Google Reader.ReplyDelete
Brian Shih is right. New desig in sugly. Large red button, very large empty spaces, ugly icons imitating folders. If I want to use standalone rss reader" it may look like this, but on the web I prefer html solution.ReplyDelete
I do not like Your way more and more.
Maybe google is not for me anymore.
There is no way to shrink "folder tree" on the left - why?ReplyDelete
I would use this tip if only the Share option in the toolbar made so much as an appearance on my Opera browserReplyDelete
Indeed my fellow Opera user.ReplyDelete
So now, both the Googlebar AND Google Reader are boycotting Opera. Well you know what ? Fuck you Google. Opera is best browser, and Google is not going to force me into another one.

After Google page and Notepad product I have felt third time that Google has done wrong decision by removing the share option, I have many reader (friend) subscribed my share and now I can't update.ReplyDelete
Why Google ?
Better way for who?ReplyDelete
Now its hard to know what my friends are sharing, I dont use the G+, and this way I hate it instead of love.
What I believe it needs is the labeling and share feature with RSS feed generation again. Including RSS allowed the power of Google Reader to be harnessed and distributed to other platforms, such as forums and blogs and other unique content sharing systems.ReplyDelete
It was also extremely powerful to share with a note, which allowed a new form of microblogging to exist. I used it to share and comment on articles with my readers (outside of the Google Reader cirlces).
Now, if you brought back labels with RSS feeds we could continue to use that organizational power in a variety of ways.
At the same time, if Google's vision team is reluctant for some reason to bring back this organizational quality, then possibly allow us to "Share with Note" to specific circles on the fly, and then provide secret RSS feeds for our Google+ circles that display, optionaly, 1) Our own contributions to the circle or 2)a mashup of all contributions from users circled in a particular circle. ...That way we could syndicate our own content in unique ways, still effectively using Google Reader as a control center, and we could even use Google Reader to monitor our circles if we choose.

I just wish the layout was more pleasant and not very boring. All I see are white spaces! Just allot more space for the actual articles. My computer is wide-screened and almost half of the space (to the right) is unused.ReplyDelete
+1 button is slow.ReplyDelete
Use google analytics to find the top tier of software engineers that actually use google reader, recruit, and have them maintain the product.ReplyDelete

You can use custom SendTo in the new Google Reader. I send it to blogger.com with http://1.1o1.in/en/webtools/googlereader-to-blogger then you get an RSS like it was before the GooglegedonReplyDelete

I also want "Note in Reader" back! As a researcher, I used this functionality to archive and tag the stuff I read over the Internet in my Google Reader. Dismantling that functionality from GReader does not make me use G+, because I did not use this bookmarklet for sharing. Google did the biggest mistake by dismantling that functionality from its reader. Now I am seriously considering an alternative to Google Reader.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 12, 2011 at 7:04 AM
The problem is the old sharing option appears to be gone completely. Now you have to share with G+ as opposed to other GReader users. I'll not pretend to fully understand it completely, but I will say that it is frustrating for me. I was using the RSS feed from the share to populate Yahoo Pipes and display a side panel on my site.ReplyDelete
I think the only way forward, apart from switching to another rss reader, is to use ifttt.com for sharing and evernote for note taking.ReplyDelete
What of the RSS feed? I used to read my friend's Shared RSS feed on Outlook. How do I do that now?ReplyDelete
A way around the lack of a shared feed would be to use ifttt to share a certain tag from reader to a delicious tag and then use the rss feed of that tag as the shared rss feed.ReplyDelete
I haven't tried it (because I don't need that functionality) but it should work. This is the position Google have put us in, and rather than migrating like a sheep to G+, like they want us to, I prefer to find alternative ways of doing the same thing I used to.

A really big disaster!!!ReplyDelete
updated Google reader:
"Is the most ugly interface which every can imagine!"
you must change Google plus to become similar to Google Reader!
Google buzz could be omitted and his function given to Google plus. "Posts" and "buzz" tab in Google plus, is not necessary!
"Share" tab in entry feed of Google reader must send "all entry feed" from reader to "Post" tab in Google plus, in replace of "Buzz" tab.
I HATE FACEBOOK, but, If Facebook build a feed reader and connect it to his social network Google lost both competition (plus and reader) which completes the disaster! WHY YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IT??
For me the disaster is I had a Reader gadget running in all my blogs that showed anything shared, like a timeline. That was my primary usage and a service to my Blogger readers. It broke spectacularly when they did the "Update"; I had to take down the gadgets. The old team would not have allowed this.ReplyDelete

WALTONVILLE, Ill. (AP) — The nation's widest drought in decades is spreading, with more than half of the continental United States now in some stage of drought and most of the rest enduring abnormally dry conditions.
Only in the 1930s and the 1950s has a drought covered more land, according to federal figures released Monday. So far, there's little risk of a Dust Bowl-type catastrophe, but crop losses could mount if rain doesn't come soon.
In its monthly drought report, the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., announced that 55 percent of the country was in a moderate to extreme drought at the end of June. The parched conditions expanded last month in the West, the Great Plains and the Midwest, fueled by the 14th warmest and 10th driest June on record, the report said.
Topsoil has turned dry while "crops, pastures and rangeland have deteriorated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18 years," the report said.
The percentage of affected land is the largest since December 1956, when 58 percent of the country was covered by drought, and it rivals even some years in the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, though experts point out that this year's weather has been milder than that period, and farming practices have been vastly improved since then.
In southern Illinois, Kenny Brummer has lost 800 acres of corn that he grows to feed his 400 head of cattle and 30,000 hogs. Now he's scrambling to find hundreds of thousands of bushels of replacement feed.
"Where am I going to get that from? You have concerns about it every morning when you wake up," said Brummer, who farms near Waltonville. "The drought is bad, but that's just half of the problem on this farm."
Around a third of the nation's corn crop has been hurt, with some of it so badly damaged that farmers have already cut down their withered plants to feed to cattle. As of Sunday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said, 38 percent of the corn crop was in poor or very poor condition, compared with 30 percent a week earlier.
"This is definitely the epicenter — right in the heart of the Midwest," said climatologist Mark Svoboda with the Nebraska-based National Drought Mitigation Center.
It's all a huge comedown for farmers who had expected a record year when they sowed 96.4 million acres in corn, the most since 1937. The Department of Agriculture initially predicted national average corn yields of 166 bushels per acre this year.
The agency has revised that projection down to 146, and more reductions are possible if conditions don't improve.
The lower projection is still an improvement over the average yields of around 129 bushels a decade ago. But already tight supplies and fears that the drought will get worse before it gets better have been pushing up grain prices, which are likely to translate into higher food prices for consumers, particularly for meat and poultry.
Monday's report was based on data going back to 1895 called the Palmer Drought Index. It feeds into the widely watched and more detailed U.S. Drought Monitor, which reported last week that 61 percent of the continental U.S. was in a moderate to exceptional drought. However, the weekly Drought Monitor goes back only 12 years, so climatologists use the Palmer Drought Index for comparing droughts before 2000.
Climatologists have labeled this year's dry spell a "flash drought" because it developed in a matter of months, not over multiple seasons or years.
The current drought is similar to the droughts of the 1950s, which weren't as intense as those of the 1930s, said Jake Crouch, a climatologist with the National Climatic Data Center. And farming has changed a lot since the Dust Bowl era. Better soil conservation has reduced erosion, and modern hybrids are much more resistant to drought.
But Crouch said it's important to understand that this drought is still unfolding.
"We can't say with certainty how long this might last now. Now that we're going up against the two largest droughts in history, that's something to be wary of," Crouch said. "The coming months are really going to be the determining factor of how big a drought it ends up being."
In northwest Kansas, Brian Baalman's cattle pastures have dried up, along with probably half of his corn crop. He desperately needs some rain to save the rest of it, and he's worried what will happen if the drought lingers into next year.
"I have never seen this type of weather before like this. A lot of old timers haven't either," Baalman said. "I just think we are seeing history in the making."
The federal government is already moving to help farmers and ranchers.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack last week announced plans for streamlining the aid process. A major goal is to cut the time it takes to declare an agricultural disaster area. He also reduced interest rates for emergency loans and made it cheaper for farmers to graze livestock or cut hay on lands otherwise locked up in a conservation program.
Some state governments are stepping in, too. In Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker declared a state of emergency in 42 counties last week to speed up the issuance of permits for temporarily using stream or lake water for irrigation.
During a visit Monday to a southern Illinois corn and soybean farm, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn announced that drought-affected farmers would be eligible for state debt restructuring and loan programs in addition to the aid the USDA announced last week.
Quinn ventured into a corn field where he spent some time looking for an actual ear of corn. When he found one and peeled off the husk, there were no kernels.
Two-thirds of Illinois is in what's classified as a severe drought or worse. Neighboring Indiana is even worse, with 70 percent in at least a severe drought.
Brummer could normally count on corn yields of 170 bushels per acre. He expects to get just 10 bushels this year, if he gets anything at all.
The top of the cornstalks are an unhealthy pale green, he said. Many of them have no ears, and "if there are there are a few kernels, they don't seem to know if they should die or make a grain."
Crop insurance will cover up to 150 bushels per acre. But no coverage is available for Brummer's livestock, so he figures he'll lose $350,000 to $400,000 on that side of the operation.
Not long ago, Brummer rejoiced along with countless other Midwest growers about getting their crops in the ground early.
"It looked really good until about a month ago," he said. "Then the concerns started, and it's been downhill ever since."

8 Uses for Short Planks
I recently replaced the slats in a bedframe, because I needed a different slatting system to support a new mattress. My existing slats, with the exception of one, were in fine shape, though, so they clearly weren't waste wood, although a friend did suggest "tossing" them. (P.S. Many cities, like San Francisco, actually accept wood in their recycling bins now!)
At first, I thought I'd just use them as kindling, but that seemed like a waste as well -- after all, there are abundant sources of kindling from scrap wood that is too broken up or damaged to be any good for building projects. And I had a stack of perfectly nice pine planks in great shape, all cut to the same length. They weren't warped, moldy, or damaged with paint, stain, or fixtures like nails and screws; basically, they were ready to use for all kinds of projects.
So I sat down and started brainstorming a list of ideas. You might have planks and scrap wood around the house, or easy access through a building site or urban reuse facility. Furthermore, things like pallets can be broken down into planks for easy storage and future use. Basically, if you have a chance to pick up some free or low-cost planks, take it!
None of these uses require a particularly high level of DIY skill, because when it comes to anything more advanced than replacing a light switch, I'm usually lost. Those with more advanced handyman inclinations could probably come up with a whole lot more uses!
1. Raised beds for the garden
I have a serious gopher problem in the garden, and I've been using half wine barrels for gardening, which looks great, but gets expensive. They're also not very space efficient, considering the small area I have fenced for my fruits and vegetables. Square beds would be perfect, and these planks would be ideal. I can quickly use them several layers tall to make walls for my beds, with a layer of gopher wire on the bottom to deter unwanted visitors.
2. Duckboards
No, this isn't a hot new cuisine. Duckboards, as you may or may not know, are planks (keyword!) laid across areas of boggy or wet soil. They're very handy between beds in the garden, especially in the winter, where built up or raised beds tend to create depressions between them that turn into watersheds, resulting in wet, unhappy feet. You can also use duckboards to bridge a low area in the yard, or create a dry(ish) path from the car to the door.
If you want to get fancy, pick up some supporting beams and lay them parallel to each other. Attach duckboards at perpendicular angles to create a low raised bridge that will also remain stable when people walk or wheel across.
Duckboards are also used as an alternative to shower mats. You could buy one, or you could make your own for a fraction of the cost!
3. Organizing
Screw some hooks into a plank or just cover it in nails to turn it into a flat hanging organizer for earrings, necklaces, kitchen supplies, and more. If you have tight space in the kitchen, as I do, going vertical is essential, and being able to hang commonly-used items (like measuring spoons and cups) on the walls frees up vital room in your drawers.
You can also mount planks the other way to create small shelves for items like spices. Instead of losing things on the back of a deep shelf, you'll have the advantage of being able to see everything you're storing on the shallower plank shelf.
4. Solid shelving niches on wire shelves
We have a wire shelf in the bathroom that's great for storing most things. The wire openwork design allows things to dry so they don't get moldy or soft in the warm, moist air of the bathroom, and it's easy to clean. But man, I am so tired of having my toothbrush fall through if I don't perch it at just the right angle across the wire. Stick a plank in there and you have a little area for storing small items that are prone to falling through!
5. Drawer dividers
Another organizing trick, drawer dividers help you keep things from getting too wild in the dresser, bathroom, or anywhere else. Planks might not look gorgeous (although you can change that if you're crafty), but they make fast and easy drawer dividers so you can create compartments to break a larger drawer into more manageable sections. Plus, they're easily moved and reconfigured, which is even better.
6. Signs
My planks, cut in half, are just about the right size for signs. I can hang them in the pantry to label various shelves (perhaps a layer of chalkboard paint so I can change the signs up as need be would be a good idea), put them outside on my garden beds to keep track of what's growing where, and more. If you're planning a wedding or another big party, you might want to consider stockpiling planks for making signs to direct people to various areas, and for posting information around the venue.
7. Reinforcement
If, like me, you own a lot of books and your shelves are groaning, a plank on the underside of the shelf at the middle or back can help keep it from collapsing. Paint or stain the plank so it blends in, making it less noticeable once the books are back in place. You can bolt the plank in place for strength, or use short screws (you don't want the sharp end protruding to damage books or unwary fingers).
Planks are also useful for reinforcing fencing, especially along the bottom, where pests might be inclined to attempt to get in. Running them along the bottom of a chicken coop or garden fence, for example, deters skunks and racoons who can't slip through or under the plank to get to the goodies inside. This way I don't have to call a San Francisco fencing company to reinforce my fences.
8. Cat tree construction
Cat trees can be a great way to provide environmental enrichment for cats, and sturdy supporting planks can be an excellent construction material. Thanks to their stoutness and similar size, my planks could be fit together in a variety of ways to make multiple levels, stairs, and more. Then I can cover them with carpeting, seagrass, or other materials to add texture.

20+ Years Experience
Specialist PASMA Courses
We are PASMA Training providers in Rowley Regis who have provided PASMA Training Courses throughout the UK.
With PASMA Training centres based in Rowley Regis West Midlands we can offer competitive prices and in October 2023 are able to get a quote to you very quickly.
A PASMA training course can be a vital part of any role involving mobile access towers in October 2023, but it is more than just a qualification. Towers can be an inherently scary piece of equipment to use, and getting trained in them might seem like a tough task that will take you months of work to achieve.
However, with good PASMA training courses in Rowley Regis, our training providers can offer users course options that will get them ready for using mobile access towers with the best possible understanding of how they work. If you are considering starting your training, or know that you have to, then our courses can help.
With the Prefabricated Access Supplier and Manufacturers Association, you can get training on every part of working with towers on-site, as well as regulations and inspection practices associated with towers. This could be assembly, movement, safety, management, or inspection, among other fields.
We offer a number of great PASMA Training courses in Rowley Regis and are more than happy in assisting you on anything from price, to times, to locations.
PASMA certification has a lot of benefits, but the most obvious one is the knowledge associated with this training. Mobile access towers can be a hard piece of equipment to use, and the more you know, the easier it becomes to construct and use them without referring to instruction manuals.
While not all of the courses delivered to delegates will relate to physically demanding work, they promote the safe use of mobile access towers and offer a chance to practice during each training course without putting you in a real-world situation. They also give the participants a chance to discuss working with these towers and how they should be handled.
The PASMA courses also act like an assessment of your skills, as well as a way to prove that you are in good health. They develop your skills through practical training, and successful candidates have 'passed the inspection', enabling them to offer their services to their company (or as a freelancer/contractor).
Completing certain courses can qualify you for a PASMA photo ID card, which certifies that you have attended training courses. Like a license, this tells employers that you are fully qualified to operate these towers. Each card is valid for 5 years from the day that it is issued.
Since your card is only valid for 5 years, you will have to refresh it every half-decade. This enables you to keep up with current relevant legislation involving mobile access towers and update your record with anything that might interfere with your normal skills: drug dependence, psychiatric illness, heart disease, high blood pressure or impaired limb function, to name a few.
If you want to know more about what this card offers, and how it is given out on competition of enough training courses, then do not hesitate to contact us for an overview of the process. We can also tell you which courses will qualify you and how long it will take to complete said courses.
Our PASMA Training is known to have the best prices in the UK. As we have training centres based all over the United Kingdom, we can offer great training at great prices that is local to you.
For information about how much your PASMA training will cost at a centre near you, use the contact form to get in touch with our team who can provide more information.
Each PASMA course is designed to fit a particular specialist subject, whether that is situations, you will encounter on construction sites or advice on how to safely assemble and dismantle a standard mobile access tower.
Each course in Rowley Regis West Midlands has an expected duration, but this duration can increase if another session is needed for any reason. If you are new to this kind of training, then there is only one place to start:
This is a starter users' course that aims to cover all of the practical training required to work at heights. The course explains how mobile access towers are used in general, as well as additional details about the other access equipment that a trainee may have to operate in the future.
This is the starting point for most PASMA Training courses in West Midlands, forming the basis that delegates will need if they want to handle practical work in the future.
Since this is an essential course, successful candidates can move on to any other major training course they like. If you are not sure how to plan out your future courses, you can always get in touch and let us know: each course can provide candidates with something new and useful, no matter their role.
If you would like to receive even more information on PASMA Training courses in Rowley Regis, make sure you get in touch with us today!
Towers for Users is arguably the most successful PASMA course available, drawing in thousands of delegates each year. This course provides candidates with the knowledge needed to assemble, dismantle, inspect and move mobile access towers of various designs, including AGR and 3T systems.
The Low-Level course focuses on low-level access units, such as folding steps and folding towers, that are made from prefabricated components. Delegates are taught how to observe regulations and standards while inspecting their units for hazards or potential safety issues.
This course, as well as the previous one, are available in a combined PASMA course called Combined Low-Level Access and Towers for Users Course.
The Towers on Stairs PASMA training course is aimed at teaching delegates to construct stepped towers, along with the inherent hazards of using them on stairs and the practical aspects of making them safe for use. This includes both theory and practical sessions spread across a full day of learning.
This course is meant to provide experienced tower users with a better understanding of complex tower builds, including the calculations needed to manage weight counterbalancing and cantilever designs. It also details additional information about how towers are assembled and properly balanced.
This course is slightly different from others since delegates must have passed Towers for Users first to get a basic knowledge of how tower design and construction work at a simpler level.
Towers for Professional Riggers is an even higher-tier towers course that provides delegates with a five-day overview of practical and theory work on unusual tower designs. This is meant to cover stations where standard access towers are not sufficient and custom or alternate designs are needed.
This can also detail situations where towers have to be built beyond the manufacturer's instructions for various reasons and how to manage tower stability and height regulations when working with a complex tower design. It includes both theory and practical test and experience sessions.
Towers for Managers provides further information about tower management and planning to delegates who are not going to be operating them. This allows managers to get the best experience possible when it comes to overviewing assembly, disassembly, movement and adjustment of any towers.
Instructor training is an option for any delegate that wants the knowledge they need to instruct others. Successful delegates can become PASMA instructors and offer their training services to other trainees or peers or use the information to inform another tower team on both theory and practical matters.
Potential instructors must be in a member company of PASMA or currently undertaking PASMA courses. This can also involve some light paperwork, even if you plan to become a freelance instructor that provides the same knowledge to other members, customers and clients.
If you want to know more about the criteria behind becoming a PASMA tower instructor, then get in touch with any questions you might have.
If you are ready to start training under PASMA towers courses and the PASMA Code of Practice, then you need to get registered for the initial training session. If you have already completed Work at Height and are looking into further courses, then you simply have to be registered for whatever you plan to take next.
For specific details on the locations that certain courses are taking place, you can get in touch with us about your specific needs. Not all courses are available to practice at all times, and each official training site may only host certain courses at a time – we can find the nearest site to your location in Rowley Regis hosting your chosen course.
Good health is important to many of these scaffold tower training sessions. You may have to go through a basic health assessment in West Midlands for more physical sessions: physically fit candidates are going to find these courses easier. If you are not physically fit, there may be certain safety notices to follow, depending on the course.
Remember that your health can impact your chance of course completion and put your team in danger in a real-world situation. Part of the training assessment is understanding that your work impacts your team, and your team require you to follow regulations while you manage your towers.
If you have more questions about a certain assessment or how to earn a certificate from your training, then you can contact us through the normal website contact details. If you can't find an answer on the site, then please feel free to let us know if you need more information. Some details change too often to keep updated on a website, and others are only specific to certain delegates.
For more details about the PASMA Code of Practice, health requirements for physical course sessions, course duration details, certificate expiry duration or arranging training through the website, let us know what your issues are.
Here is an overview of all of the PASMA courses we offer:

I was looking for a PASMA Training course within a week and thanks to PASMA Training I was able to earn my license quickly. They offered a brilliant service and were able to provide a local centre so I didn't need to travel very far. Thanks, PASMA Training!!!Scott Rose
I used IPAF Training a few years ago to get my license and they were the only company I considered this year when I needed to renew my IPAF 3a & 3b licence. They are definitely the best training providers in the UK and their professional setup is what makes them my go-to company. I highly recommend the team for the amazing work!!Joel Hudson

by David Harrell
I suppose it's impolite to complain about a freebie...but here's some advice for the band Phoenix and the jeweler Cartier: If you're asking people to both register and suffer through an extremely slow-to-load website to download a free mp3, give them something better than a 96k file!

Pick a native English tutor and try live one-on-one tutoring on Justlearn. No reason to search for a language school or tutor in your local city. Learn English from home or anywhere else. All English tutors are manually verified.Get Started
English Tutors
Have you ever had a hard time explaining where you want to go when you go overseas? Were the locals able to help you find your way? How about when you ordered your breakfast? How did you tell the waitress that there's something in the dish you chose that you want to eliminate because you're allergic to it? Travelling these days has already become a culture and people want to share their adventures online. It's even a way of life for some because you can actually earn a living out of it. It does sound unbelievable but it's also a dream come true.
Travelling isn't only the reason why learning languages is really important. Companies hire employees just about everywhere in the world because of their skills and exemplary performance. Just imagine being relocated to a country where there's barely anyone who can speak English? Or you don't speak English at all and everyone does. How can you even interact with your colleagues and be effective at work? Some professions in the education, hospitality and medical fields even have to take up language certifications just so they can work and live in other countries. It's that tedious, but it's the only way to go.
How many times have you wished that you can just understand what you're watching without reading the subtitles? How often do you end up guessing how to cook a packet of instant noodles or canned food that you bought from your favorite foreign grocery store? Wouldn't it be more convenient to learn the language of the country whose food, movies and TV series are your favorites? Think about it. Who knows? You might just have enough budget later on to go on a trip there so learning their language is going to be such a lifesaver.
At this time when the world is already a global village, it is essential for us to widen our horizon and keep ourselves abreast with the trends everywhere. Learning a language is one of the things that you have to open yourselves up to so we can fit in and belong. In the past, we could only learn language in schools, but as the need arose, there are already many ways to learn them. We don't have to be in Europe to learn European languages, or in Asia to learn to speak and write one or two languages prevalent there.
We've broken the barriers of learning languages in many ways just so everyone has a chance to be familiar or fluent with it. In some cases, we don't have to travel, work or be a fan to learn a language. Sometimes, we just want to connect with people in another country and be friends with them because we share the same interests and passions. The internet has paved the way in building lasting relationships online without physically meeting people. It's enough that we get to share our ideas and aspirations in a common language to make that connection beyond meaningful.
How Live Tutoring Works
1. Browse Teachers
Search for your new language teacher by reading the description boxes containing all relevant information. Every Justlearn tutor includes their basic information, education details, work experience and much more. You will have a better picture of their teaching technique if you book a trial lesson, but the description box is there to help you create the first impression. We guarantee the best quality of teaching so don't hesitate to choose the tutor that will capture your interest.
2. Select time
Once you find your new tutor, you will be prompted to find the most suitable time for your lesson. Every tutor updates their availability on a regular basis, so you will be able to select the best time in their calendar.
3. Learn English
You have your tutor, you booked your lesson which means you now get access to the Justlearn classroom. Feel free to talk with your tutor about your expectations, previous knowledge and interests. Your language learning journey can finally begin.

To prevent from not being able to find your stolen or lost device you should use the Android Device Manager which will keep track of those devices you have linked through the Google Account. Make sure that you enable "Lock" and "Erase" on the Manager's website. When it is activated, Google will send you a test message to see how it is working.
In case of your device being in a unknown location, just head over to the Android Device Manager and choose the device that is currently missing.
There you have a few options:
1. You can ring your phone to check whether it is not somewhere close to you.
2. You can secure your device by locking it with a password - so if anybody finds it they won't be able to use it (except to send you a Recovery Message)
3. You may also erase all your data by choosing option "Erase". However, this option is recommended when you are sure you will not be able to find or get the device back. Recovering erased data is going to be extremely difficult afterwards.
The only downside is that the Android Device Manager works with devices which are online and powered on. In any other cases, it simply will not be able to help you.
The prons of Android Device Manager are that it locates your device without any help of third party app. It also allows you to track and monitor all of your devices in case of them being stolen ( even several devices if they are link with the same email address).
The biggest cons of this applications is that it does not work when the location service is off and when the device is offline. Location services consume a lot of battery (that is why they are often being turned off) and when your battery is dead this applications will not help you either (you will get error messages while tracking it).
Lookout Antivirus and Security is an application for all Android devices which defends it from any unwanted or evil data. There are two versions of this app - free and premium account.
Free version allows you to use all the basic tools, like virus scanner or even locating your device. Premium account costs $3 per months and for that kind of money you get advisor when it comes to browsing websites, warning each time you install an app to get your permission.
The accuracy of this app's virus scanner is very high (99%). The minus however is that it may slow down your device while downloading games and applications.
Probably the best option in this application is being able to remotely locate your device (by logging in at lookout.com). You can make your phone ring or evan see your device on a map. Remotely locking and erasing your device however is only possible with Premium Account.
The advantages of this applications are that there are a lot of basic tools which you can use for free (without upgrading to Premium Account), it is very easy and clear to use (also the online version - lookout.com), you can secure not only one device but several of them by adding them to your account and finally, there is a ani-maleware protection which adds the extra security to your device.
The disadvantages however are that it does not provide an SMS control, you will not be able to wipe your device (that means your device will be left vulnerable) and there is not much tablet support (works better with mobile phones).
Prey Anti Theft Software is a free service that can potentially secure all your data and find your Windows device (laptop, phone) by tracking it.
The first thing to do is to instal this program on your device. After being installed, the Prey is in the background and is not detected by the Activity Manager. The program is also linked with an Internet account which you can use to monitor any activity or change settings.
In case of your device gone missing, you need to alert the Prey Anti Theft as soon as possible with your online account. You can monitor the activity there. When your stolen device gets the Internet connection, it will send valuable information to your online account such as running applications, Wi-Fi, desktop screenshot, a picture from an integreted camera. As long as the device stays connected you will receive all the feedback.
You can also secure or erase your important data, lock down the device or even send a message to the person using your device.
The advantages of this appliaction is that it gives you very accurate coordinates. It also runs silently in the background - so you will not even see it working. It gathers a lot of valuable information about the missing device.
The disadvantages however are that free accounts have only limited status reports and you do not have an option to upload or take pictured from the device.
Norton Anti Theft is an application that allows you to quickly find and block your device. It also allows to protects its data in case you lose it or it gets stolen. Anytime from any broweser you may check where the device is located, who has it and, if neccesery, block it.
Norton application has the following pros:
Norton Anti Theft has the following cons:
Cerberus is an app useful when your device gets lost or stolen. You just install it and use it just in case of an emergency. When you loose your device or it gets stolen form you, just log in to Cerberus website, activate remote GPS and the app will show you the location. You can also lock it, requiring a PIN to unlock. The other option avilable is that it takes pictures (even record audio or video) of the intruder which are later on emailed to you. The other features include: tracking location history, sending messages, calling the device, hiding or showing the app, wiping the memory of the device and SD card. It is also possible to reboot the device if someone else roots it.
Cerberus application has the following advantages:
Cerberus application has the following disadvantages:
Avast Anti Theft is an application which is supposed to work for your phone as a protection from thieves. You can hide the app by givinig it your own name which will make it very difficult to detect and even harder to delete. What is more, this application does not burden the device and uses very little battery. The pros of this anti theft app ? First off, all you can save the list of SIM cards without the alarm setting off. If there is a different SIM card put into your device, there will be an alarm going off (similar to firefighters' sirens) and it will send a silent message to the owner of the device. You can also send a text message with the instruction to mute the phone, block it, transfer the incoming phone calls and so on. Avast also enables you to filter the text messages and phone calls on basis of advanced rules (for example by setting the time of day and the day of the week).
Avast Anti Theft application has the following pros:
Avast Anti Theft application has the following cons:
