Many plants need to avoid flowering in the autumn – even if conditions are favourable – otherwise they would perish in winter.

The current men’s world champ, John John Florence, was not at the Surf Ranch Pro. He has been out with a knee injury. Florence, who grew up at Pipeline, in Hawaii, is not a particularly imposing competition surfer—he’s too easygoing—but when the waves are good he is frequently untouchable. He’s twenty-six, and if he never enters another contest he will probably reign as the consensus “world’s best surfer” for years to come, so long as he continues to drop the occasional video showing that he is still surfing beyond the realm of what was considered possible. He and Slater surfed a heat together in Tahiti, in 2014, that is considered by many, including me, to be the best heat in the history of surfing. They were trading enormous, terrifying, sheet-glass lefts over an extremely shallow reef, each surfing at a level of technique and artistry that defied the judges to pick a winner. Competition seemed irrelevant.

Is America becoming more civilized? Certainly, according to the definition, there has been a mass exodus from the country to the city. The percentage of people who make a living off the land continues to decline. And the stigma of being less civilized still applies to farmers, lumberjacks, fishermen, hunters, miners, ranchers and cowboys. Those whose jobs require exposure to the elements, manual labor and physical risk. This stigma is a benign prejudice that allows opportunists to manipulate urban opinion to our disadvantage. “Stop the mining, curtail the drilling, up their grazing fee, steal their water, condemn their land, cripple their dirty little towns. After all, they’re only peasants. Not really civilized, you know.”

It would be fair to say that the cattle were never handled much. They were ‘rangy’, as they call it up there. Bob and Clair cowboyed a bobtailed load of cull cows together for a trip to the auction yard in Sioux Falls.

Commenter: Brian S Salado, TXI borrowed over $17000 in education loans in the 1980′s and early 1990′s – a high level of indebtedness at that time to receive my bachelor and master degrees. I consolidated at 8% (an apalling rate by today’s standards), made my payments on time, and paid my loans off early. I am thankful for my student loan and to my loan provider as this financing enabled me to pursue my higher education and become a productive member of society. THIS is the story of the 95% silent majority who took the time and the personal financial responsibility to understand and manage their debt.

This enables uncomplicated single-blade installation with the blade in a horizontal position, eliminatingthe requirement for a rotatable installation yoke with blade grippers.

Now put yourself in the place of the 500 pound suckin’ calf this fall. You spend all summer with your mamma drinkin’ cool spring water, eatin’ good green grass and mother’s milk. You got up when you wanted, slept when you felt like it and ate when you were hungry. Suddenly, over the rim come five mounted riders! The boss, his wife, the neighbor, the banker, the brother-in-law and eighteen dogs! Elbows flyin’, hats wavin’ and chaps flappin’. Scary? You bet your bippy! You take off to find mamma with the dogs nippin’ at yer heels. Mamma’s way down the trail. You catch up and travel five miles in her dust, chokin’ and coughin’. That night you spend in a trap with 240 other cows and calves. Next mornin’ here comes Custer’s Army again! Back on the trail, still scared, hungry and tired. All day you walk behind the bunch, walkin’ eye level with the dust. That night you’re put in a big corral. Mamma’s uneasy. You don’t get much to drink.

Bruce, eager to help, untied the tether. Doc gathered his thermometer and stethoscope and stood visiting with the owner. They watched Bruce gently work his way up the rope. The horse eyed him like a prisoner watches the hangman. Just as Bruce was reaching for the halter the stallion took a savage bite at him! His teeth locked onto the new Resistol and jerked it off his head!

I have calved a lot of heifers in my life … thousands. All of us who have that type of experience know that after the sweat and strain, the slick and sticky, the hope and pull, the grunt and sigh, when the wet little creature plops on the ground, sometimes there is a moment that time stands still. A second, or two or five, we stare, our world suspended, waiting for a sign.

 The film was set in convict era Port Arthur, Tasmania, and Stockton’s ballast ground doubled for a wharf in Tasmania where convicts disembarked from a windjammer. Newcastle was selected for filming because it was the end of the sailing era and Newcastle was the last port where convincing “convict transport” could be found. 

470,000 marchers in The Women’s March in Washington, D.C., were encouraged to leave their signs with sticks or cardboard on the street as a “slap in the face” to their nemesis. How easy is it to bend over and pick up a flat piece of cardboard from the sidewalk? How about picking up 200,000 of them?

“You’re always told, ‘don’t go until the clock tower’, which is around 250 metres from the finish. I could feel the field around me and from the corner of my eye I could see plenty of challengers emerging. I needed to keep my cool and wait. To Jeune’s credit, when I finally urged him to go he simply exploded.
