    "Chipmunk Techno" was a phrase coined by Pete Ashdown sometime last
year to describe tracks that utilized speeded-up vocal samples, thus causing
the vocals to sound chipmunk-like of the Alvin and Dale variety (take a
spoken album that's supposed to be played at 33 and play at 45, instant
chipmunks).  I stuck on the "ultra" to refer to vocal samples that
sound like they have been speeded up from 33 to 78 where the phrases are
almost unrecognizable.  I think what the DJ was doing was speeding up a 
fast 'chipmunk' track at 33 to 45, creating a pre-pubescent chipmunk
"oh yeah" sample in a lot of tracks.  Make any sense?

 I forgot to mention that the people 'dancing' to this stuff were not
really attempting to follow the music AT ALL -- more of a free-form
move as quickly as you can epileptic fit.  If the DJ had a sense of humour
he would have played Moby's Thousand...

re: farmers and their telecommunications access

I would like to know if anyone here has conducted a survey (or
knows of one) to determine what farm owners/managers have/use in
the way of telecommunications devices.  By that I mean to include:
telephones, cellular phones, radio transceivers (CB, amateur, etc.),
computers equipped with modems, satellite dishes, VCRs, FAXes, etc.

I am particularly interested in how these devices are used to
receive (one-way) or transceive (two-way, interactively exchange)
agricultural-related information (from Universities, listservers like
this one, other people on BBS's or free-nets.

If anyone can point me in a direction where I might look I would
appreciate it.

Thanks.

I have heard that Econet has something like 500 different

Unfortunately I do not have the budget to subscribe to it
at this point.
I am curious if there is a group similar to this sustainable
agriculture newsgroup.
Also if anyone out there does subscribe, is it possible to
relay relevant postings to this newsgroup for example, or
is that a license problem?

I have the same questions about the Well and also Peacenet.

You may be especially interested in services like AgriDayta (sp?) that
are delivered via FM subcarrier or satellite (using small, dedicated
receiving dishes).  We have one at the farm that receives data from
an FM subcarrier.  It's basic stuff (Z80 based) - all text and character
graphics.  We also tried a satellite based system.  It was nice - IBM
PC based, VGA graphics, but Dad didn't think he'd use it enough to
justify the expense.  I do see it at the grain elevator, though.

My interests are more in GPS and RF modems for tractors and combines.

BTW, we do use CB's.  (Too bad we don't have FM units...)

NNTP-Posting-Host: hela.ins.cwru.edu



For those of you who live in urban areas and have xmas
tree recycling, it is often possible to pick up quantities
of shredded trees for mulch.
This mulch is usually coarse and somewhat acidic but will
eventually break down to humus and can be also added as
a layer in composting.

Other source of organic material: riding stables for horse
manure, bedding straw, etc. often free for the taking.

Some especially active tree trim companies with their own
shredding equipment may find it cheaper to give some to
you than take it to dump, etc.  Usually you would ask for
at least a few cubic yards of the stuff.

City crews and park crews sometimes accumulate a surplus
of leaves and make give the stuff to those who pick up.

City lawn mowing services often take grassing clippings
to dump (if city is not yet doing large scale composting)
and may deliver some to you; this stuff is especially
high in nitrogen, the equivalent of manure and needs to
be layered with other material in composting.  It could
be used as a thin mulch layer as well with leaves on
top, etc.

Thus anyone looking for organic matter in an urban
area for their garden or small farm or landscaping may
find there is plenty out there for the taking.

Although it does not highlight sustainable agriculture the National FFA
Organization does have a program for teaching elementary students about
the basics of agriculture, called Food For America Depending on the 
individuals presenting the program it can range from basic crop and animal 
production to space-age scientific programs such as hydroponics and growing
plants in moon soil.

Then there is the actually vocational agriculture/FFA programs in high
schools across America.  From 7th grade in some states to 12th students
are exposed to all forms of agriculture and learn about the issues
confronting American agriculture.  These programs, besides in being in
rural areas, are in Chicago, Kansas City, Philidelphia, Guam, Puerto

        I am part of the Agroecosystem Group for a national
        monitoring program called the Environmental
        Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP).  Our
        particular group is charged with exploring the health of
        agroecosystems on a regional and national scale and
        over long time periods.  We hope to assess these
        systems by developing environmental indicators that
        reflect a particular aspect of health. 
        
        I am particularly interested in the relationship of
        insects with the health and sustainability of
        agricultural landscapes and am currently exploring the
        use of the relationship between pest and beneficial
        insects (e.g. pest/beneficial ratios) with the long-term
        health of the land.  There are several challenges to the
        idea of using this aspect of insect ecology on scales
        such as those being employed in EMAP.  Not in the
        least of which will be that over such large ecological
        regions there will be changes in the makeup of the pest-
        predator/parasite assemblage over crops, physiography,
        climate, etc.  In addition there will be obstacles such as
        the variability of such systems, and how to and when to
        take the sample.  Challenges in developing such an
        indicator are daunting and we will have to explore
        carefully to see if such an approach is possible.
        
        I am in the early stages of thinking about these issues
        and would very much like to open a dialogue with
        anyone that might have any research, references,
        interest or ideas in this area.   If you could send a
        response to me directly rather

According to the section "Planting by the Moon" in my Jim Maynard's
Celestial Guide calendar, bulb and root crops should be planted in the
3rd quarter (week past full) or the 4th if necessary. He also gives
somewhat contradictory advice based on the sign the moon is in:

"Aries is a fire sign. When the moon is in Aries it is a dry and barren time.
Plant onions, cultivate what is already growing and kill weeds and insects."
Then he summarizes:
Best signs to plant in: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
Good signs to plant in: Capricorn, Taurus and Libra
Bad signs to plant in: Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Aries.

Maybe planting onions in the "bad" sign of Aries will give you strong tasting
onions! Taurus and Capricorn are said to be the best for general root crops.

I would check the Old Farmer's Almanac, too.
