Learning Reading the real way to go…
There is rarely just one way to learn however, reading has long been the best way to learn. Learning by reading or by visual interoperation is the best method for retaining information.
With all the influence the media has on television and cable viewers one might incorrectly jump to the conclusion that reading is a by gone habit that is no longer as popular as it once was however, that may not be the truth at all considering that most college and university settings still use the written word over all other methods of interaction with students.
So for all the naysayers that think reading is a thing of the past, take a good solid look at Amazon.com and also take a good look at their sales figures, they sell a lot of stuff and reading is just one small part of the whole.
Read a book, learn a little more than you thought you knew and you will find that you have improved your life in the small amount of time it takes to read just this article you will have improved your hand to eye coordination and your comprehension, with all the recent hype that we see on the cable shows, you can get everything you want and know every news story in less than 15 minuets.
The next time you get ready to turn on the TV, grab a book instead…

publish or perish does it still work
We have all heard the old saying that you have to publish or perish.
This is even more true in this modern day, with newspapers going broke
and with all the trade of information on the Internet, you just about have to
be online, establishing a web presence, creating and publishing a webpage
Crop Ecology: Productivity and Management in Agricultural Systems
Loomis, R S, and Connor, D J
What would happen if the unthinkable occurred, would we be able to cope using the knowledge we now have.
What might occur in the advent of a crop disaster in the US.
This book is centred on the ‘production processes’ of crops and pastures – photosynthesis and use of water and nutrients in fields. The book is unique in its combination of great breadth and depth in its treatment of production processes and systems problems. The approach is explanatory and integrative, with a firm basis in environmental physics, soils, physiology, and morphology, in contrast to descriptive or reductionist approaches. Systems concepts are introduced early and expanded as the book proceeds, giving emphasis to quantitative approaches, to management strategies and tactics employed by farmers, and to environmental issues. The systems approach is brought together in the final chapters where production and nutrient cycling are analyzed, for example farms and problems in an uncertain future are considered.
The book is based on courses taught by the authors in Australia and the United States and is designed for use as a text for an introductory course in crop ecology (advanced undergraduates and beginning post-graduate level).
It is more than text, however.
Given the wide range of subjects, the authors have integrated reference and background material to create a ‘stand-alone’ reference work useful to a wide audience of agriculturalists.
The Right to Privacy
This is a real problem for many people in this country read more about it, here
The authors of the national bestseller “In Our Defense” survey hundreds of cases in which ordinary citizens have battled the intrusions of government, industry, the news media, and their own neighbors. Out of these eye-opening narratives, Kennedy and Alderman present a timely, historically informed, and eminently useful look at the state of our right to be left alone.
Craigslist Killer Caught?
Soon there will probably be a book on this topic.
In a world where everything is gravitating toward the Internet.
Are we looking at a place where just about anything is likely to happen.
Some say craigslist, might be one of the largest meat markets around.
That remains to be seen, but one thing for sure is that are some interesting
issues which may be decided during this case will reflect on the internet for
years to come.

A contest we shall have…
Hello, everyone, I know there are a lot of people that frequent these pages, yet are often silent.
We book readers are often those that go unnoticed, we reside in the back of the elevators silent and hardly ever verbose, yet we are the often the minds that come up with these lines and create strength within even the tiniest of things.
So a contest is in order and it shall not be easy to discover.
Couched within these verbs you will be sure to learn the rules
for what you seek is shiny and sleek but will not be there until you seek.
If you can find where these lines reside in the truth of love, you will be divine.
a gift of concern will be the reward for the attention you have earned.
Look within these pages to find the gift you seek, for life is naught but
tyme and there will yet be time to sleep.
For the time is said to be fleeting and you had better be
retreating, when worlds collide and the tide is alive,
only those without thee this notion can and will survive.
For a mark is said to exist yet, you have none to assist,
pray ye no be left behind.
end of lines.
what shall the prize be you say, that we do not know, prizes or cash you decide the test.
post on this topic and a vote will be taken.
clues that exist in strange places.
some lines will be easy to find, some not so easy, you can follow the stones and find a clue or two left behind by the thoughtful personage you can look and see some will be right in the trees but not all will be found and no gift will abound until all the lines be seen and then seen by me.
Nothing stale about Liberty, nothing stale about freedom.
Rush Limbaugh “I want the country to succeed!”
As Rush Limbaugh said during a speech there is nothing wrong with being a conservative.
There is nothing wrong with fighting for our beliefs and principals which is what this country was founded on.
It is what, our founding fathers sacrificed to create an equal existence.
Did the democrats want to the war in Iraq to fail,
Yes, they did, they even said this was was lost…
They hoped that George Bush Failed.
