'Trying to pop it was the worst thing I could have done': How a man's tiny 'pimple' turned into a lump the size of a GOLF BALL - and it could have killed him
In six weeks a Queensland man's small zit turned into a golf ball-sized pimple
It turned out to be a common type of cancer called Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Surgeons performed a procedure down to his skull in order to cut out the lump
By Alana Mazzoni For Daily Mail Australia
In six weeks a man's small pimple turned into a golf ball-sized cancer that required urgent surgery to be removed.
James Murray, 52, from Marcoola on the Sunshine coast, had a benign-looking pimple on his forehead that became a raised black and purple lump.
'Trying to pop the pimple in saltwater was one of the worst things I could have done,' he told the Courier Mail.
After he used his hands to try and pop his growing zit, his face scarred and he sought medical help.
He went to Sunshine Coast University Hospital's plastic and reconstructive team for surgery to remove the lump he named 'Freddie'.

Mr Murray was left with scars on his forehead from the operation, but he says he couldn't be happier with the results compared to what it looked like before
Mr Murray was left with scars on his forehead from the operation, but he says he couldn't be happier with the results compared to what it looked like before.
'I was pretty concerned at one point considering how fast it was growing. It was getting pretty bad,' he said.
'They told me it had to be removed and removed quickly. I had to put my faith in their hands.'
The pimple turned out to be a Squamous Cell Carcinoma - the second most common form of skin cancer that starts from an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells from the skin's outer layer.

Surgeons performed a two-part procedure down to his skull in order to cut out the lump.
The procedure was followed by a complicated rotation of his scalp, to make sure the area where the cancer was found was covered.
Doctors said they had to approach the cancer's removal differently to other melanomas, as there was a chance they were dealing with a rarer form of cancer.
Melanoma is the second most common cancer on the Sunshine Coast, and doctors are using Mr Murray's story to spread awareness to get regular skin checks.

The tortoise is a common neighborhood oddity as he walks along the quiet street, but when he tires his owner plops the huge tortoise in a red wagon and tows him home.
Sulcata tortoises are known to be the third largest (Galapago and Aldabra giant tortoise are one and two) in the world. And just in case you aren't familiar with the difference between tortoises and turtles, tortoises live in dry areas, and turtles live mostly in the water. They originate from the Sahara Desert and can be found in Ethiopia and Sudan. In order to find relief from the heat, these amazing creatures burrow into the ground.
Surprisingly, there are numerous Sulacata tortoises kept as pets, however too many wind up in need of rescue. They are no longer imported into the United States and are protected under CITES regulations, but continue to be bred here.
These tortoises frequently end up needing to be rescued after their owners have given them up because they have grown too large. Pet stores sell them when they are babies, and they easily fit into ten gallon tanks. How many people are prepared to care for a tortoise which can grow to 200 pounds, and reach 24 to 36 inches long? Their lifespans range from 50 to 150 years.
Be responsible. If you are planning to raise one of these amazing tortoises, learn how to properly care for them, and keep in mind they are not throwaways.

Q: How to convert a string to a Date? I don't know what format string is
May be 2015-10-10 or 2015/10/10, may also be 2015-10-30 15:30
Regular first I want to use to judge whether a valid date or time, and then use the SimpleDateFormat parsing, what should I do better?
All formats include:
- yyyy-MM-dd
- yyyy.MM-dd
- yyyy/MM/dd
- yyyy-MM-dd HH24:mm
- yyyy.MM-dd HH24:mm
- yyyy/MM/dd HH24:mm
- yyyy-MM-dd HH24:mm:ss
- yyyy.MM-dd HH24:mm:ss
- yyyy/MM/dd HH24:mm:ss

A: use following date formatter to convert the date to String.
String d="2015-05-12";
DateFormat formatter  = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
Date a=formatter.parse(d);

A: I've used Natty Date Parser for this. You can try it out here. It is available on maven central here. If you are using gradle:
compile 'com.joestelmach:natty:0.12'

Example usage:
String[] exampleDates = {
    "2015-10-10",
    "2015/10/10",
    "2015-10-30 15:30"
};

Parser parser = new Parser();
for (String dateString : exampleDates) {
  List<DateGroup> dates = parser.parse(dateString);
  Date date = dates.get(0).getDates().get(0);
  System.out.println(date);
}

Output:

Sat Oct 10 20:51:10 PDT 2015
Sat Oct 10 20:51:10 PDT 2015
Fri Oct 30 15:30:00 PDT 2015

EDIT:
If you know the date formats then the following StackOverflow would be better than adding a dependency to your project:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/4024604/1048340

The following static utility method might suffice:
/**
 * Parses a date with the given formats. If the date could not be parsed then {@code null} is
 * returned.
 *
 * @param formats the possible date formats
 * @param dateString the date string to parse
 * @return the {@link java.util.Date} or {@code null} if the string could not be parsed.
 */
public static Date getDate(String[] formats, String dateString) {
  for (String format : formats) {
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
    try {
      return sdf.parse(dateString);
    } catch (ParseException ignored) {
    }
  }
  return null;
}

Is it Possible to Trust a New Convert in Nigeria?
Imagine you are a Christian leader in Nigeria. For many years you have worked tirelessly to encourage Christians, evangelize non-believers and serve however else you felt led. Seeking to faithfully serve the Lord with limited resources, you have often teetered on the brink of exhaustion. The escalating violence of the past few years has added to the burden you carry, but now you find yourself facing a new challenge in your ministry-dealing with "fake" Christians sent to spy on the church.
Though there are wonderful accounts of former persecutors coming to Christ in Nigeria, there have also been alarming reports of people faking conversions in order to infiltrate the church and attack Christians when their "guards were down." Seems Usman is a Christian leader in Northern Nigeria who faces this very dilemma.
Usman is a Muslim Background BelieverA Christian from a Muslim background who comes to Christ. (MBB). Though most Christians in Northern Nigeria face opposition from their Muslim neighbors, MBBs often face more intense persecution from friends and family for leaving Islam. As a Muslim Background Believer, Usman is very aware of the different ways that Muslim extremists have tried to persecute Christians, including pretending to be interested in Christianity. He frequently questions the sincerity of Muslims who say that they want to convert. The most difficult part for him is the realization that unless someone had taken the chance and shared the gospel with him, he may have never found Christ.
Usman reflects on the passage from Matthew 10:16, "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." He knows that the only solution to his dilemma is to pray that God will grant him that wisdom and discernment.
Usman shared the current debate between some Northern Nigerian Christians regarding the issue of church security. Some believe having security guards at churches goes against Christ's command to "turn the other cheek." Other Christians believe that, though they should never invoke violence or retaliate, they should protect themselves from attacks. Usman is from the latter school of thought. Since many churches are unwilling to hire security guards, he encourages churches to build fences around their buildings to protect them from attacks during their services. Though some churches have been proactive in this regard, others are unable to do this, due to lack of resources and funding.
Father, we lift up Usman into Your loving hands. He admits that he is burned-out. Although faithfully serving You he has experienced difficult trials that most Christian leaders would never encounter. Lord, You tell us that You would not give us more than what we can endure, so we ask today that You lighten his load and aid him with this burdensome yoke. Father, revitalize Usman and give him the strength to continue his ministry. Lastly, we pray for You to give Usman discernment when dealing with new converts and church security; filling him with Your wisdom. Amen.

Christian Boarding Schools for Boys in Connecticut -- Safe Harbor is a lower cost alternative to therapeutic boarding schools in Waterbury, CT. – cheap boarding schools and therapeutic schools.
Christian Boarding Schools for Boys in Waterbury, Connecticut
Christian Boarding Schools for Boys in Waterbury, Connecticut are Probably Not Like Safe Harbor, Nor As Thrilling for Your Boy
As you look for Christian boarding schools in Waterbury, Connecticut, will you take a minute to look at Safe Harbor? Safe Harbor is a lower cost alternative to therapeutic boarding schools in Waterbury, Connecticut, with similar success.
Safe Harbor is Christian boarding school offering a distinctive maritime experience designed to coach troubled boys in essential life skills and to instill character. The Safe Harbor boarding school story is portrayed in the 2009 movie "Safe Harbor" on the Hallmark Channel, which still airs periodically today. Safe Harbor has been featured nationally in People Magazine, and on CBS This Morning, NBC News Today, CNN, and CBN.
Safe Harbor is a Christian boarding school in Jacksonville, Florida with over 25 years of success in developing men of character, integrity, and vision. While we are located in Florida, we accept and provide education to boys from Waterbury, Connecticut.
Safe Harbor turns wayward teenage boys into mature and capable young men. Boys who find help at Safe Harbor may be dealing with depression, rebellion, behavioral and academic problems, minor drug use or trouble with the law, or the upheaval of a loss in their life. Typically, boys in these situations need to see a wider view of the world, one not so focused on themselves or keeping up with their peers.
While you may be searching for a Christian boarding school in Waterbury, Connecticut, please consider that the Safe Harbor seamanship experience joined with the personal attention, counsel and training lead to an unmatched opportunity for growth and change in behavior.
For at-risk boys, Safe Harbor boarding school teaches maritime skills and seamanship, offers practical life skills, and promotes character in the context of vocational education, all while boys study for their high school diplomas. The boys (many have come from Waterbury, Connecticut) reside on board boats at this waterfront boarding school. They gain knowledge of boating on the ocean and rivers while developing respect for self and others, self-reliance, perseverance, and much more. Each boy who successfully completes Safe Harbor discovers how to captain his own vessel, both literally and figuratively.
Registering Boys from Waterbury, Connecticut, Safe Harbor is Christian Boarding School in Florida with Year-Round Education
Classes run year-round, giving students a chance to catch up wherever they may have fallen behind academically. Boys who complete the Safe Harbor program receive a high school diploma, and many go on to two-year and four-year colleges.
At Safe Harbor, practical knowledge means as much as academic knowledge. Besides all aspects of boating and seamanship, we offer vocational training in a variety of topics, like carpentry, boat refurbishing, navigation, log keeping and map reading, welding, boat maintenance and repair, and basic electrical skills.
We also believe boys should be capable in basic life skills. Residents of Safe Harbor are taught to balance a checkbook and handle checking and savings accounts responsibly, apply for a job using appropriate resume and interview skills, understand basic nutrition, and handle grocery shopping and cooking, to name just a few of the topics we cover. Our goal is to make your boy respectful, self-reliant, confident, and competent.
Christian Boarding School that Helps Boys from Waterbury, Connecticut Make a Change of Heart and Attitude
Safe Harbor teaches boys practical lessons based on the biblical book of Proverbs, and our overall philosophies are grounded in God's Word. We encourage boys to ask the significant questions about life and research the answers for themselves.
Concerning counseling, our program incorporates group and individual counseling, both from a mental health professional and from a pastoral counselor. The small enrollment in our program gives ample interaction time for boys from Waterbury, Connecticut with professional staff and mentors.
Because of the unique nature of the program, we draw residents from all across the country, including from Waterbury, Connecticut.
Safe Harbor is unlike any other boarding school or boys home and gives boys a life-changing opportunity and an adventure that cannot be replicated in Waterbury, Connecticut. As you carry on your search in Waterbury, Connecticut and elsewhere, thank you for looking at Safe Harbor Maritime Academy situated on the East Coast in Jacksonville, Florida.

Photos: A Riot of Colour, Solidarity and Indignation on the TUC March in London
A Riot of Colour, Solidarity and Indignation on the TUC March in London, a set on Flickr.
Following up on the photos I published yesterday of the best placards and banners I saw on Saturday's 150,000-strong march and rally in central London ("A Future That Works," organised by the TUC), this second set of photos features the march more generally, and includes photos I took of various union members and activists on Victoria Embankment, and also as the march proceeded up Whitehall, along Piccadilly, and into Hyde Park for the rally at the end of the day.
There various speakers, including Labour leader Ed Miliband, addressed the government's crimes against British workers — and also schoolchildren, students, the old, the ill, the homeless, the unemployed and the disabled. My archive of articles about the Tories' wretched policies, and the resistance to them, is here.
As the Guardian explained, Dave Prentis, the leader of Unison, told the crowd, "We are fighting for a better future. We are not here today for the millionaires — we are here for the millions of people who don't have a voice. We just can't take any more."
Len McCluskey, the leader of Unite, said that millions of people "were being pushed into poverty by a government more interested in supporting the country's elite," as the Guardian put it, adding, "The biggest cheers of the day came when Bob Crow, leader of the RMT rail union, and Mark Serwotka of the Public and Commercial Services union called for a general strike."
Ed Miliband also spoke, calling David Cameron "clueless" and describing him as "clinging to policies which were not working." He was also booed by members of the crowd when he said that whoever was in power would have to make cuts, although he pledged that "if he became prime minister he would tax bankers' bonuses, support the building of 100,000 houses and end the privatisation of the NHS."
The next planned action against austerity is on November 14, across southern Europe, which provides another opportunity for those of us who care about the wrecking of our societies to maintain the momentum for a mass movement of resistance that cannot be ignored.

Thanks, Aleksey. I'm very glad you're enjoying the photos. Thankfully we have the internet to share information amongst each other. When countries decide to turn that off, then we need to get really worried. Incidentally, the ironic thing about media ownership is that here in Britain Russian ownership of newspapers is increasing – first the Evening Standard, then the Independent, both owned by Alexander Lebedev.

Ha! Yes. Very true. And also, it seems, money has no nationality either. It moves wherever it can avoid paying taxes.
I place your photos on a Russian website Odnoklassniki, is an analogue of Facebook.
Thanks, Aleksey. That's very good to hear about you making my photos available on the Russian website.

Hi has anyone found a reliable/compatible swap for the turbo control actuator? Ive been through 2 oem ones in the last year. Came across a twin port turbosmart one but not sure if the spring pressure is the same.
May work depending on the total distance the shaft travels, spring tension rate, and making sure it was designed for pressure/vacuum on each respective side and is a true double chamber. You would also need to customize the stock bracket or design a new one and customize the rod length. I have had the same stock actuator for years with no problems with higher than stock boost. Do you have the pressure limiting mod in place with a pressure regulator off pressure chamber limiting to 10psi if you boost above stock levels? Boosting higher boost above stock often will prematurely kill the stock actuator.
On my recent rebuild, I did buy and design custom Forge actuators for the wastegate and pre-control. I customized the stock brackets and had custom rods made for only around $175 total for each. These are spring changeable, with a near stock spring rate in the pre-control 8-12 lb. and a 10-14 lb. spring rate in the wastegate. running great so far but still tuning some I limited boost to 12 psi. These are the KAI's so will boost to 18-19 psi eventually with WMI.
Are we talking turbo control actuator? Not pre control actuator or wastegate?
Turbo control actuators seem pretty reliable.....they'd want to be for how much Mazda Au charges for new ones anyhow! Maybe if the heat shield on the manifold or on the actuators are missing then I could foresee issues though.
Have a couple excess here from the twin days too.
You could easily enough measure the turbosmart compatibility with a pressure/vacuum pump, if you had a working original actuator.....can't recall if there''s a travel spec in the manual otherwise?
Biggest problem might be diameter, oem unit is what, ~ 60mm, I'd expect that other one would need cutting/shutting or major bending to work. Aluminium body would put a lot of heat into the diaphragm without good insulation and air gaps too and going by their old FPRs, diaphragm longevity wasn't a good feature back when.
Wastegate actuator and prespool actuator hose size?
Quick Reply: Replacement options for the turbo control actuator?

Buddy Elias, Anne Frank's cousin, who committed his life to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust, is seen here in a 2013 photo.
Buddy Elias, cousin of Anne Frank and guardian of her legacy, is remembered
Edward Girardet recalls his long-time family friend, Buddy Elias, who fought for over 35 years to ensure that the legacy of peace and tolerance of his cousin, Anne Frank, would not be forgotten.
By Edward Girardet
Last January, my teenage son Alexander and I arranged for Swiss actor Buddy Elias, a first cousin of Anne Frank and head of the Anne Frank Fonds (foundation) in Basel, to speak to a group of international schools here in Geneva.
Buddy had been a close friend of my mother's since growing up in Switzerland before World War II. I had known him since childhood, treasuring both his love of jokes but also his somber retelling of what had happened to his relatives, the Otto Frank family, under the Nazis.
At 89, Buddy and his wife, Gerti, a striking Jewish refugee actress from Austria, still kept a hectic schedule, travelling the world in support of youth and social change projects funded by the Fonds. But he was eager to come, and planned for a mid-February visit. Shortly after, he called to say that he had been ordered to slow down for health reasons. Earlier this week, we received the sad news that Buddy had passed on.
It was a tragic blow. Fortunately, my family and I had visited Buddy and Gerti last November in Basel. But as a father, I wanted my son and his fellow high school students to hear Buddy and Anne's message firsthand. For Buddy, it was particularly crucial amid so many ongoing conflicts, whether in Syria, Gaza, Afghanistan, or Ukraine, with the indiscriminate killing of civilians, including children. And it had deep resonance at a time when so many were questioning Jews' security in Europe.
Before our visit in November, I had last seen Buddy in West Berlin, well before the Wall came down, where he was acting in a TV series and on stage. At the time, the city had a relatively small but expanding Jewish population of 5,000-6,000, a fraction of the 160,000 Jews who lived there before the Nazis.
I was there to do a documentary about the divided city. I asked him why he, as a Jew, had decided to return to Germany. He smiled. "Because whether I like it or not, my culture is German. Obviously, we never want the same things to happen again. Ever. But there is a new generation of young people, and they are not to blame for the Nazis. They are the future."
Despite Buddy's renown as an actor, he was better known worldwide for his association with Anne Frank. Born in 1925, Buddy moved with his family in 1931 to Switzerland from Frankfurt, where the Franks also lived. The Franks fled to Amsterdam in 1933, when Anne's father, Otto – the only one to survive the concentration camps – decided that the Netherlands was a safe option.
Until the German invasion, the Franks regularly visited the Eliases over the summer and winter holidays. Buddy spent much of his time growing up with Anne and her older sister Margot, often writing and playing Punch and Judy shows. "Anne and I were very fond of each other and talked a lot," he said. He saw them for the last time in 1938, but continued to correspond with Anne. Both girls died at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in early 1945.
Otto Frank set up the Anne Frank Fonds in Basel in 1963. On Otto's death in 1980, Buddy took over as president.
For him, the whole point of the Anne Frank legacy was to contribute to a better understanding among religions, and to serve the cause of peace. "Anne Frank has become a world symbol for combating all forms of racism and intolerance. That is what Anne wrote about in her diary." In many ways, he went on, Anne Frank belongs to no one – not the Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, nor Hindus. Nor the Swiss, Israelis, Dutch, or anyone else.
"The time will come when we will be people again and not just Jews," he said, citing his favorite line from the diary.
According to Buddy, Anne's diary is being narrated in countless different forms today, even by those who have never heard of her.
"Everyone has something to say or contribute that help make a positive difference in the world," Buddy told my son. Another favorite line from her diary, Buddy pointed out, was "how wonderful nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."
A former special correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor, Edward Girardet is an author, journalist and media specialist in humanitarian, conflict and post-conflict issues based in Geneva, Switzerland.

Iran Ready for War After Shooting Down American Drone
Iran claims responsibility for shooting down a drone, saying it was sending a message to the U.S.
By: Graham J Noble June 20, 2019 Articles, Economic Affairs, Intelligence, Military Affairs, Politics, Social Issues, World6
by Graham J Noble
Recent tensions between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran may have reached a tipping point after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that an unmanned RQ-4A Global Hawk drone was shot down over the Strait of Hormuz by an Iranian surface-to-air missile.
The U.S.reconnaissance drone was flying in international airspace when it was downed by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) missile at approximately 7.35 p.m. Eastern time, June 19. The IRGC commander, Gen. Hossein Salami, issued a statement saying the interception of the drone sends a "decisive, firm and accurate message" to the U.S.:
"The message is that the guardians of the borders of Islamic Iran will decisively respond to the violation of any stranger to this land. The only solution for the enemies is to respect the territorial integrity and national interests of Iran."
The Iranians claim the drone was shot down after it entered Iranian airspace, but in response to Gen. Salami's statement, CENTCOM spokesman Navy Capt. Bill Urban said: "Iranian reports that the aircraft was over Iran are false." He added that "this was an unprovoked attack on a U.S. surveillance asset in international airspace."
Deteriorating Situation
The uneasy relationship between Iran and the U.S. has steadily deteriorated since President Donald Trump withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – an agreement signed in 2015 by Iran, the United States, and five other nations. The deal was touted as a measure to ensure the Islamic Republic would not produce or acquire the materials required to build nuclear weapons, but Trump had been an unrelenting critic of it.
Though the JCPOA was supposed to enforce oversight, critics have argued that Iran has for years flouted the terms of the agreement, though the United Nations and supporters of the deal have often claimed that Iran has operated within the terms. The principal weakness of the JCPOA was that it contained certain "sunset" clauses due to expire after a period of time, meaning the deal was not a permanent solution.
More recently, the situation in the Middle East had deteriorated after two oil tankers were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz. Though Iran denied it carried out the attacks, the U.S. has claimed Iranian forces were responsible – releasing video footage of IRGC personnel removing an unexploded mine from the hull of one of the tankers after the attack. A U.S. drone surveilling the tanker attack was also fired upon, though it was not hit. Iran had also denied trying to shoot down the drone.
"We do not intend to engage in war with any country," Salami added in his statement on the June 19 drone incident, "but we are completely ready for the war. Today's incident is a clear sign of this accurate message."
The president tweeted that Iran had made "a big mistake" by shooting down the drone and, although both the U.S. and Iran have publicly attempted, in recent days, to back away from the prospect of war, it seems as though some form of military action by the U.S. is likely if it can be confirmed that the downed drone was indeed flying in international airspace.

I guess nobody has a good punch line to complete the joke about General Salami. Sometimes I would like to be a fly on the wall when heads of state call each other. We can only imagine the things they say to each other in private. So here's a humorous fantasy scenario about what Donald Trump's call to Iran might have been like: "Hello, Ayatollah. It looks like somebody in your military made a big mistake. Maybe it was General Salami. Does he like his salami to be char-broiled or would he prefer his salami to be cut and served cold? I have a message for General Salami and for all your generals. Tell them that our American sausages are bigger than their sausages. If there are any more mistakes, you'll get to see how big our sausages are."
"What's the difference between an Iranian general and a sausage?"
Come on guys, this is the perfect set up line for a joke. Let's have some fun. Can anyone come up with a punch line for it?
Lucy Cowgill
Something, although I don't know what it would be, needs to be done. If we don't we will appear weak and their next act of aggression will involve the loss of an American life. Enough of this crazy Iran stuff. They support terrorism around the world. We took care of ISIS, we can take care of them.

"Iran is Ready for War" No the F they are not.

"Gen. Hossein Salami"? Really?
(From Wiki:) A traditional salami, with its typical marbled appearance, is made from beef or pork (sometimes specifically veal). Beef is usual in halal and kosher salami, which never include pork for religious reasons.

Lewistown is the Proud home of Dickson Mounds Museum! We are known for our rich historical background as well as the Historic Oak Hill Cemetery made famous by Edgar Lee Masters, author of Spoon River Anthology. We invite you to visit our Community, one of the stops along the well known Spoon River Scenic Drive, and a proud Portal Community along the Illinois River Road National Scenic Byway.
Enjoy a little bit of History about our town…. Founded by Ossian Ross in 1823, named for his son Lewis, is the oldest city in Fulton County and it is County seat. Fulton County once extended all the way north to include Chicago. For Chicagoans between 1823 and 1825, obtaining a marriage license meant a lengthy journey south to Lewistown's log courthouse. Today's courthouse is a prominent landmark on Main Street, facing the elegant 1st Presbyterian Church (circa. 1854). East of Main Street and running parallel is Broadway, home to many of Lewistown's stately older homes and to St. James Episcopal Church, considered to be one of the finest examples of pure gothic architecture in America. Author Edgar Lee Masters set his Spoon River Anthology in Oak Hill Cemetery, which is on Main Street, north of the center of town. As a young man, Masters lived on Main Street in a home that still stands across from the grocery store. A later family home can be seen on Adams Street west of Main. Two pillars, between which Abraham Lincoln once gave a speech, were relocated from an older version of the courthouse to become a prominent landmark in Oak Hill Cemetery. Just north of the cemetery on the opposite side of main Street is a modest brick home where Lincoln visited his friend Major Newton Walker on several occasions. Lewistown has walking and biking opportunities, with parking in the north end of the cemetery and walking throughout. Bicyclists will find parking and a marked route leaving from the MidAmerica Bank parking lot on Main Street, extending into the quiet countryside west of town. For the traveler, Lewistown offers a newly opened visitors center, restaurants, motel, gasoline, convenience stores, grocery store, laundromat, ATM banking, and auto repair services.

CAMPING WITH THE COLTS
The Colts held two practices Tuesday at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute – a full-team practice at 11 a.m. and a special-teams practice at 3:30 p.m.
A Categorical Look at the Day in Colts Camp
EYE ON CAMP
The Colts' longest practice week of 2008 Training Camp is over, having ended last week with a loss in the preseason opener against the Washington Redskins.
Things are more condensed now, with the team returning for a light practice Tuesday and scheduled to leave for the second preseason game on Friday.
Thus, there's a two-fold challenge this week, Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy said:
1) Continue to work on fundamentals.
2) Prepare for the Carolina Panthers on a very short week.
"That's the thing we're going to miss this week – a little bit of our fundamental work," Dungy said Tuesday between a pair of short 2008 Training Camp practices at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
"We'll actually have the practices tomorrow (Wednesday) to do that, but starting on Thursday, we'll tailor it a little to get ready for the game. It's a short week. Recovery time is imant and we'll try to install and build a little bit today and tomorrow and then try to get ready for the game."
The Colts will play the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C., at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
CAMP SKED
The Colts held two practices Tuesday at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute – a full-team practice at 11 a.m. and a special-teams practice at 3:30 p.m. The Colts will practice at 8:30 and 3:30 Wednesday.
The temperature in Terre Haute on Tuesday reached 88 degrees with scattered showers. According to weather.com, the forecast for Wednesday calls for 86 degrees.
The Colts held a brief, 30-minute workout on Tuesday morning and a special teams practice in the afternoon.
PRACTICE HIGHLIGHTS
WHO'S COVERING THE COLTS
Media in Terre Haute for 2008 Training Camp on Tuesday included Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News and Vic Carucci of NFL.com.
"It (the preseason opener) went good. It went smooth. When I was in there, I thought we did well. I think it was efficient and smooth and the way I wanted it to go. We would have liked to have scored a touchdown, but we put points on the board. I just hoped we can continue to do what we did Sunday night."
--- Colts Quarterback Jim Sorgi
Reserve Jim Sorgi started at quarterback in the Colts' preseason opener Sunday night, but never has started a regular-season game. Who was the last quarterback other than Peyton Manning to start a regular season game for the Colts?
DUNGY SAYS
"(Rookie running back) Mike (Hart) ran and did everything in the (preseason opener) just about as he's done in practice (rushing for times for 53 yards and catching three passes for 28 yards). It really wasn't surprising. When you watch him practice and watch him work, we felt like he'd have a good game. He did everything he was called on to do. He had two pass-protection pickups. He handled those well. He caught the ball out of the backfield and ran and made people miss. It's probably what he has been doing for eight or nine years."
--- Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy
Colts City will be open Thursday from 5-7:30 p.m. for the Colts Tailgate Party. Elements will include Colts In Motion traveling museum, Special Colts Give-a-ways (while supplies last), a live performance by "The Joes" (5-7 p.m.), the Colts ProShop, Sponsor Booths, The Blue Crew, team practice from 7:30-9:30 p.m. and more.
Jim Harbaugh started the 1997 regular-season finale, a Colts loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Watch goes Singing in the Rainforest with Myleene Klass and Glasvegas
Entertainment channel Watch has revealed some of the top musical talent signed for its exciting new series, Singing in the Rainforest, which sees musicians leave their creature comforts behind and embrace life with remote tribes from all around the world.
The five part series explores the power of music to bridge the gap between different worlds.
Classical musician Myleene Klass visited the Ulithians on the remote Pacific island of Mog Mog, in the Federated States of Microniesa. Myleene's grand piano was shipped on to the tiny island – reachable only by boat and with no running water or electricity – to create a desert island recording studio.
Scottish indie rock band Glasvegas visited the Waorani of Bameno, Ecuador in one of the most remote areas of the Amazon rainforest. Bameno is located two days, by canoe, from the nearest road and all of the band's equipment had to be paddled in.
Singing in the Rainforest follows Myleene and Glasvegas as they collaborate with different cultures to produce a new and unique piece of music, which will be available to download after the programme airs. These remarkable meetings of different cultures result in extraordinary and unique musical collaborations.
Singing in the Rainforest will be broadcast in 2015 and will film with three more musicians and tribes to complete the series.
About Singing in the Rainforest
Each episode of Singing in the Rainforest (5x60'), produced by Gogglebox Entertainment, a joint venture with Sony Pictures Television, takes well-known artists and bands out of their natural environment and challenges them to immerse themselves in tribal life for one week, with no creature comforts to fall back on. They will be exposed to rituals, customs and above all the tribe's musical culture and, in turn, the artists will present their style of music to the tribe.
At the end of the week the visiting musicians will collaborate with their hosts and create a piece of music that will be played in a grand finale concert for the village and its neighbours. The newly recorded track, which will blend two very different musical cultures together, will be made available for download, with shares of the sales benefitting the tribe.
Watch has consistently increased its slate of original commissions and high profile
acquisitions. All-new Dynamo: Magician Impossible returns in September and hotly-anticipated drama series directed by Guillermo del Toro, The Strain, also starts this month.

Having grown up in Halfmoon Bay on the Sunshine Coast of BC, Canada, and now making my home in the Rockies of southeastern BC, I have been fortunate to have spent my life thus far in the best of both worlds, the ocean and the mountains.
When not busy working on creative projects like those you see on this website, I love to spend as much time as possible outdoors and enjoy biking, snowboarding, hiking, camping, swimming, and travelling. Art of all shapes and forms is also something I value highly and in addition to painting and photography, I have a strong interest in music and writing.
Most recently, I am happy to announce the launch of my first book, A Recipe for Winter Magic: How Griz Brought the Snow to Snow Valley. This children's book tells the story of Fernie's own legendary mountain man Griz (who is responsible for bringing light, dry and deep powder snow to this corner of the BC Rockies each winter.) I invite you to read an excerpt from the book or check out a gallery featuring all 12 paintings from the book here.
No matter what the season I always tend to have a new idea or project in the works and often only wish there could be more hours in each day to complete them all.
If you would like more details about my education and employment history, please contact me and I would be happy to send you a copy of my resume.


Because the stem is rapidly increasing expected damage also increase. It says Hans Andersson, professor at the university of agricultural sciences in Uppsala, sweden.
– For Swedish agriculture, this means a significant concern. And if it does not get very cold and snowy winters, there will be no improvement in the next ten years, " says Hans Andersson.
however, It is not all agriculture affected. But those who are affected often get big damage. The only effective way to limit the wild boars is the increased hunting, but the boost to get the animal in the day, says Hans Andersson.
" this is a time-consuming hunt that requires patience, so it is no easy task. And with the growth that is in the day need half the tribe to be deferred by each year.
the Tribe's rapid growth also means that the animals will be more prevalent near homes and communities.
the wild boars will come into metropolitan areas where they become very difficult to control, and chase, considering the security aspects, " says Hans Andersson.
" They will become more common in the gardens, and there is already a substantial problem in those areas that are vulnerable.

The Canadian Coast Guard's Matthew, based at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth. A DFO spokesman says much of the work done in partnership with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration continues in the face of a funding feud in the United States congress.
It's a stay-the-course message at Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other cross-border research partners are affected by the ongoing, partial U.S. government shutdown.
"Our cross-border partnerships with NOAA and other research organizations in the United States remain strong during this time, and we continue to work with all our partners to maintain necessary data collection and research activities across our coasts," a DFO spokesman said in a brief statement to The Telegram in response to an inquiry about partnership projects specific to the east coast.
The shutdown south of the border began on Dec. 22, due to lapsed congressional appropriations (the U.S. Congress must pass appropriations bills to fund government activities). A sticking point has been funding for U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall.
The U.S. Department of Commerce issued its "Plan for an Orderly Shutdown Due to Lapse of Congressional Appropriations" on Dec. 17. Services and activities listed as not available include most research activities at NOAA, particularly those requiring current-year funding.
According to the plan, real-time modeling — the kind used for hurricane watches and Federal Aviation Administration (U.S.) flight planning — continues unaffected.
There is also work ongoing to assure the continuous recording and ingestion of ocean and atmospheric field data, essential to maintaining the long-term weather and climate record.
Also of concern for DFO, the U.S. coast guard remains on duty and fisheries-related law enforcement activities continue. The same goes for fisheries observers and quota monitoring.
But 16 NOAA vessels were to be called in to port, and everything from headquarters administration to NOAA legislative affairs remains shut down.
As recently as Dec. 12, Canadian Fisheries and Oceans Minister Jonathan Wilkinson spoke about the importance of organizations like NOAA and cross-border research efforts, particularly in terms of the ocean environment and climate change.
"Our biggest challenges in ocean health cannot be resolved by one country or partner alone. These important scientific discussions help us better understand how ocean ecosystems work, how they are affected by human activities and how we can minimize our impacts on Canada's marine spaces and species," Wilkinson said in a statement issued on the heels of Parliamentary Secretary Sean Casey's attendance at an event in Washington, D.C.
While in Washington, Casey met with NOAA acting administrator Admiral Timothy Gallaudet to discuss collaborative work, including the protection of the southern resident killer whale population in the Pacific.
Requests to NOAA were met with auto-replies. NOAA's communications staff are not available during the shutdown.
As of mid-day Monday, there was no indication of when the shutdown might end. Members of Congress have spoken about the need to pass interim measures to address immediate concerns, including risk to the timely issuance of tax refunds.

The discussions around communities I frequent has recently touched on the idea of freedom; specifically, what it means in the context of software. We've moved past the gratis vs libre confusion, thankfully, but there are still arguments about what "free" really means. Some are under the impression that in this context it means "I should be free to get my work done". That's a noble goal, but it misses the point somewhat. The sentiment behind that statement was in defending PhotoShop ("It shouldn't matter that I'm using proprietary software, the point is that it can do the job"). A fellow redditor puts it better than I could;
Software freedom is as much about choice as Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was about giving people the choice as to whether they wanted to retain slavery or not. Software freedom is about ending certain restrictive forms of software licensing and distribution which are harmful to the public and to technological progress in general. --spiceweasel
Laced with the standard internet forum hyperbole, but it gets the point across. It's not about "freedom of choice", it's about some freedoms that are fundamental to the creation of software
- The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). - The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. - The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). - The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this. --GNU Free Software Definition
These are important freedoms to programmers and to users who understand programs. I certainly wouldn't trade them for anything in my private life, which is why I've been trying like hell to make this a free software household with as few compromises as possible.
Freedom?
Now lets be honest from the other perspective.
GIMP contains about 230 000 lines of C code. Inkscape was at 132 134 lines of C/C++ back in 2003 (pretty sure they've racked up a few 10Ks in the past 8 years or so). I have good cause to believe that PhotoShop is much larger1. I get that it would be morally better for PhotoShop to become a piece of libre software, but I'm having trouble convincing myself that there would be a practical benefit for the end user.
Here's an example near and dear to my heart. Emacs. It's extensible and reasonably simple to tweak. If you know Elisp, you can push it further than I've seen any other editor go. Aside from the fact that I've hooked in quite a number2 of components released by other Emacs users, I've also written a few of my own, and lightly amended some that I include. As the GNU page says, "Access to the source code is a precondition for this". When I say "simple to tweak", by the way, I mean "I can put together a new mode in an hour or two". In fact, as I was writing this article, I decided to take a poke at [blog-mode](https://github.com/Inaimathi/emacs-utils/blob/master/blog-mode.el) to change how a couple things work, and I didn't have to so much as restart Emacs. Hypothetically, if I had to restart (or god forbid, re-compile it) every time I tweaked something, there would be a little less incentive for me to engage in this kind of tool-building myself. There's some pre-conditions to building a system that behaves this way:
components must be hot-swappable
required code must be terse (but not past that threshold that takes it to line-noise levels)
it must be simple and consistent enough that it doesn't take all of your brainpower over several hours to get into it and make changes (or, you must be able to more or less ignore the rest of the system while making changes to a specific piece)
An error can't bring the whole thing crashing down. It needs to toss you an exception gracefully, let you try some stuff to fix the problem dynamically and then continue on its merry way without a restart.
The reason I bring this up is
1. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish
Exactly how does Freedom One work if the program in question is larger than you can fit into your head? What if you can fit it into your head, but it takes several days or weeks of study? What if you can edit it but every time you tweak anything, you need to go through a 20 minute compilation step? Or even if you only had to go through that if you made some mistake in your tweaks? What if you didn't know the language it was written in, or didn't know how to program in the first place? At what point, exactly, can we say that whether the piece of software you've got cracked open is Free or not, you are not free to change it? It surprised me to no end to hear that there are actually people out there using Emacs who have neither the ability nor the desire to program in any language, let alone a quirky dialect of Lisp that's used exclusively for Emacs extension and development, but they apparently exist. In fact, outside the Emacs users community, non-programmers are the vast majority. Free Software must seem like the craziest catch 22 ever to them.
You have the right and freedom to study and change this immeasurably complex machine that you can't possibly understand without devoting your life to, and which will barf at you with the slightest provocation.
If you line this up with the argument about Freedom and PhotoShop, it's pretty obvious what's happening. Hell, Stallman knew exactly what's happening a while ago.
The public traded nominal freedoms that it was not in a position to exercise and in exchange got some benefit (the benefit of more books being written). So if you have something that you can't use at all and you trade it for something of some value to you, you have gained. Whether or not it's the best possible deal you could have made, that's another question, but at least it was a beneficial deal. --Richard Stallman (in his talk at University of Calgary)
The above was in reference to the establishment of copyright, but the principles still apply.
The people using Adobe's software don't have a hope of studying and changing it even if they had access to the complete source code, so why the hell should they care that they're also deprived of that source code? Or legally barred from studying and changing it? From the outside, it must seem like passing a law against unassisted breathing on the fucking moon. The user-facing documentation of PhotoShop is thick enough to beat someone to death with3, so the sheer volume of developer-facing docs that comes out of this monstrosity is probably enough to drive someone to madness. If you provide a tool to aid in the understanding of an immeasurably complex machine, but that tool is itself immeasurably complex, you've done no good.
Freedom One does matter to me, but it's only because the software I use is (for the most part) simple and open enough to actually change myself. It matters in that situation whether I'm allowed to.
Is it enough that some awe-inspiring genius exists out there somewhere that can dive in and re-write PS in short order? Or that if the source was opened, there could possibly be a group of people that could fork it and make steady progress? Turning this over and over in my mind, I can only see a moral distinction and not a practical one. If the end user has no way of exercising their Freedom One, then I'm doubtful that the majority of them will ever take up the Free Software banner, and opening up something like PhotoShop runs into some fairly obvious walls. First, the sheer size of the thing means that a theoretical fork of the codebase would go literally nowhere for a very long time as people ramped up. Second, the people who tend to use it aren't programmers, and that's actually three big potential problems, take your pick.
Second a) the size of the team is going to be small. Probably smaller than is useful on a task like this.
Second b) the people you get aren't going to have the vested interest that comes with building a tool that they themselves want to use. They'll have to rely on the time tested method of gathering requirements if they're going to grow the program at all.
Second c) the team is going to be made up mostly of non-programmers, which sounds like almost-certain-fail from the get-go, given that this is a programming-heavy endeavor.
There's an entirely other discussion to be had about the middling UI quality in projects that aren't of direct use to programmers, but I'm not getting into that one with this little sleep.
It's beginning to dawn on me that if you really support the idea of Free Software, you are also logically opposed to the idea of monolithic systems. That if your goal is to maximize the Freedom of users, you can not hand them many hundred thousand lines of code, with an optional several thousand pages of documentation, and be content that you did your job. That suggests some basic principles by which to build Free Software
it needs to be built in small, individually understandable pieces (a few hundred lines across one file, not a few hundred thousand across hundreds)
large systems need to be built more or less by combining smaller systems
a large system shouldn't fail because one or more components failed
a system should be modifiable without restarting
Which is more or less how the *nix culture likes to build things from what I've seen. The trouble is how to reconcile this with the needs of end-users, and more specifically the moral/practical ramifications of doing so. Making things as easy as possible for non-programmers4 implies monoliths. They need as much of their computing experience handled by the computer as possible. It's really not acceptable, for example, to have the end user specify which audio/video codec and resolution to use for converting an mp4 to an avi. They likely don't know what a codec is, for starters.
The question I'm going to wrestle with for the next little while is what to do about those people. On the one hand, I really don't think a rational approach is "Well, they should just learn how to program". That's a deathtrap, and if you disagree with me, I invite you to try talking about it to a medical receptionist sometime. The thing is, unless the end user is properly engaged and shown how their own freedoms are being infringed upon by proprietary software, they'll never jump ship. The next question is: is it morally right to grudge them the choice of trading nominal freedoms they are not in a position to exercise in exchange for some benefit? If a graphic designer chooses to use PhotoShop, should I be telling them to stop and use GIMP instead because proprietary software is a social problem, or is that fair play until they try to get me to switch back to Adobes' steaming pile?
I have no answers for now, and I'm heading to sleep before I fall over onto my keyboard, but the thoughts are still bugging me in an odd way. Hopefully this piece released some pressure for the short term, at least.
I'm making the assumption since Adobe arguably has more man-hours to throw at the thing, releases new versions fairly regularly, has to implement a lot more compatibility with legacy/third-party file formats and supports color modes that GIMP doesn't. Granted the combined SLOCs of Inkscape/GIMP/Scribus/Synfig probably outweigh the Adobe Suite because the latter group shares some code, but comparing one to one programs seems like it would tilt the scales towards the proprietary offering.↩
17 to be precise.↩
Or it used to be before it was digitized.↩
Who, again, are actually the majority of humans, and will probably remain so for a long time yet. Though I agree with Sussman that there's immense value in teaching programming to non-programmers.↩
<-Quite possibly The Best Line EverUgh.->


In this week's parasha, parashat Vayikra, we once again encounter the challenging issue of animal sacrifice.
In several previous weekly messages we have discussed animal sacrifice and have offered possible clarifications of the meanings behind this ancient ritual (Vayikra 5764-2004).
Rabbi Ben-Zion Firer, who we have cited on numerous occasions in our weekly Torah messages, offers a novel and compelling understanding of the purpose of animal sacrifice.
Rabbi Firer argues that more than animal sacrifice serves to atone for sins of the past, the offerings actually serve to prevent future sinful actions. Citing Maimonides Laws of Repentance 1, Rabbi Firer notes that there can be no offerings without repentance, and that the purpose of repentance is to prevent a repeat of sinful actions.
Animal sacrifices are not intended to serve as a compensation for sins that were committed in the past, but to influence the donor to improve in the future. By guaranteeing that the sinful deed is not repeated, these offerings have the power to achieve atonement for the past.
As support for his contention that offerings do not serve to atone for past deeds, Rabbi Firer cites the first offerings ever brought, those offered by Cain and Abel. The Torah, in Genesis 4:3, never refers to the first two sacrifices as atonement for sinfulness. It merely reports that the offering of Abel was accepted, and that the offering of Cain was rejected.
The Torah does not clearly spell out why Cain's offering was rejected. It does, however, report (Genesis 4:4) that Abel brought מִבְּכֹרוֹת צֹאנוֹ וּמֵחֶלְבֵהֶן, of the choice fat sheep, whereas Cain brought (Genesis 4:3) מִפְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה–only "pedestrian" fruits of the earth–nothing special.
Rabbi Firer suggests that the story of Cain rising up against his brother and killing him, recorded in Genesis 4:8, provides strong evidence that Cain had failed to repent from his evil thoughts at the time that he brought his offering. Apparently, G-d was able to discern that Cain had offered his sacrifice without ever having renounced the evil that was in his heart and, therefore, rejected Cain's offering.
Rabbi Firer argues that bringing such an offering without Teshuva (repentance) is ineffective, and should never have been brought in the first place.
In light of this novel understanding of animal sacrifice, Rabbi Firer also offers new insight into understanding the custom of why little children begin studying Torah with the book of Leviticus. Leviticus, after all, is a book that is preoccupied with the rituals of animal sacrifice. There are certainly many other, more child-oriented, parts of scripture that are far more appropriate for neophytes.
The Torah portions of Leviticus and animal sacrifice were surely quite relevant to adults in ancient times, when the ritual of animal sacrifice was actually practiced. But what, after all, is the point of little children learning these esoteric matters, especially at a time that there is no Temple and no sacrifices? Surely, it would be far more sensible to teach a child from the book of Genesis and the story of creation, which could implant in a child's impressionable heart and mind the seeds of faith in the Creator. Even the book of Exodus might inspire a young child regarding the redemptive qualities of G-d by learning about the People of Israel's miraculous departure from Egypt.
Rabbi Firer suggests that a child who learns the book of Leviticus, and gains an understanding that the offerings are meant to prevent sin, rather than atone for sin, may very well be less likely to sin.
Rabbi Firer's original interpretations underscore the limitlessness of the insightful meanings that can be found in every facet of Torah. Just when we thought we might have exhausted every possible avenue of interpretation, we discover that there is so much more to serve as a source of inspiration.

AgroTechParis
Engineering 37,000m2 of flexible, cross-disciplinary space in a world-leading life sciences cluster.
Palaiseau, Essonne, France
AgroParisTech/INRAE
Due to complete 2022
AgroTechParis is one of France's most prestigious higher-education institutions and a leader in life sciences and agronomy. WSP has been supporting the next phase of its evolution, as it relocates to a brand-new 65,000m2 campus in the world-leading cluster of Paris-Saclay.
Paris-Saclay is a government-designated special planning district established in the southern suburbs of Paris in 2013. The ambition is to create an innovation hub to rival Cambridge, Massachusetts or Silicon Valley, bringing together six of France's "grandes écoles" alongside public and private research institutes, commercial partners and start-ups. By 2027, it is expected to host 20,000 academics, more than 25,000 students and 20,000 employees.
Photo banner & above credit: Marc Mimram Architecture
The AgroTechParis site will be shared with the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), whose specialists are currently spread across several sites in the Paris region. Designed by Marc Mimram and Jean-Baptiste Lacoudre and built by Vinci Construction France, the new campus will consist of eight buildings. The most eye-catching is The Forum, which welcomes visitors into a giant, climatically controlled greenhouse, as well as five buildings dedicated to teaching and administration, and two large research facilities, all set round a covered garden. When complete, the site will provide space for 3,650 students and staff, including 37,000m2 of state-of-the-art laboratories.

WSP France was appointed in 2017 to provide technical project management and building services engineering. The team took a multidisciplinary approach – vital on such complex teaching and research spaces, which will contain advanced technologies and secure, isolated spaces for research. The whole project was designed using building information modelling (BIM), with the different partners sharing and collaborating on the model in real time. Crucial to the building services design was the ambition that the large floorplates should be as flexible as possible, able to accommodate different layouts to suit a wide variety of occupiers, from agroecology, biology and modelling to the humanities and social sciences, with the emphasis on reducing the barriers between them. The campus is set to be occupied from the start of the 2022 academic year.

You can use dried pinto beans to grow new bean plants.
4 Can I Make a Houseplant With a Pinto Bean?
Pinto beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are among the most cultivated legumes in the world and are the most common beans used in dishes like refried beans and barbecued beans. The beans themselves serve as the seeds for the bean plants that produce them, and it is possible to plant dried pinto beans to grow new plants. While not all store-bought pinto beans will germinate, some will; freshly harvested beans are also useful for planting.
Pinto beans are a variety of field bean, along with navy and kidney beans. Unlike some other bean varieties that remain in the pod for cooking, pinto beans are removed from the pods after harvest and stored dry. Dry beans typically have longer growing periods to create more mature seeds, requiring 85 to 120 days for all of the bean pods to reach maturity. Once dry, it can take up to 1,300 beans to make a single pound of pinto beans.
Not all pinto beans will germinate and grow into new plants. When choosing beans to germinate, look for beans with darker coloring since these tend to be more mature and more likely to grow when planted. Small or obviously immature beans shouldn't be planted, nor should beans that have cracks or holes in the seed coat, because it can allow fungi or bacteria to enter the bean while it is growing.
When planting pinto beans, choose a site with well-drained, crumbly soil. Amend the soil with a 5-10-10 fertilizer and cultivate it to a depth of 6 inches, and then plant the beans 1 1/2 inches deep. The beans should be planted 2 to 4 inches apart in rows that are spaced 24 to 30 inches apart. Once planted, water the beans to dampen the soil, keeping the soil moist but not saturated until sprouts begin to appear after the beans have germinated.
Proper care is important to get the most out of your pinto bean plant as it grows and develops bean pods. Apply 1 inch of water to the bean plants per week to meet the plants' needs; too much or too little water can stunt their growth or cause other problems. Take care to remove weeds that might compete with the shallow roots of the bean plants. At the end of the growing season, harvest the beans and allow them to dry for several days before removing them from the pods to cook them or store them for planting in the spring.
