The Enercon and Lagerwey turbine introductions have built on an expanded joint portfolio brought "under one roof", with a focus on the globally important low and medium-wind IEC IIIA class.

Women, “cowpersons” if you will, are becoming more common on cowboy crews. There’s never been much question that they could ride and spot sick cattle as well as a man but we’ve been kind of a chauvinistic business. They’re getting’ their chance now.

I looked up at the pig-eyed backyard horse. The roll of fat down the crest of his neck quivered as he snorted and flared his nostrils. He was not pleased that I’d managed to get a halter on him in the first place. He belonged to a thirteen year old kid who rode him faithfully at least once a month. This horse was used to bein’ the boss and he did not tolerate my attempts to force my wishes on him.

He lathered up and slipped one end of the 32-inch chain over the protruding leg. On examination he found the other foot further back but already in the birth canal. Myron smiled with relief. But remember, God does have a sense of humor.

He stumbled across the grain room holding his eye and stepped into the cat’s dish. It slid out from under him. He did the splits and straddled the door jam into the big shed. Looking up from the floor he noticed his tractor leaning, like it had its foot off the curb. On closer inspection he found the lean was the result of a flat tire.

Although these techniques can alter his direction, they often interfere with his mobility in the corral.

People of the land meet a different kind of deadline. It is not manmade. A reporter must meet an arbitrary deadline. Like this column. I must have agreed on the deadline and it can’t be changed.

“Son,” said E.B. “You bring him back through the sale this spring and see what he brings. He’ll make you money.” Ernie had respect for E.B.’s opinion and took “ol’ Buddy” home.

The pencil draws the arc length that the folding beam takes. Close the protractor, and you move the moment of bending closer to the pivot point; this results in the folding beam moving in a short arc length and producing a small radius, optimal for thin material. Open the protractor, and you move the moment of bending away from the pivot point; the folding beam swings in a longer arc length and produces a larger radius, optimal for thicker material.
