Good resource for agco tractor brand parts and diagrams

Joe, Can you add tags to your diigo posts. For example, "farming", "agriculture", "ag mechanics". Of course you will want to use naming conventions that make sense. This is helpful when others are using our PL Diigo to search for resources. Please do this for all of your posts. Mrs. Deppman

This was a video that showed how to put together a layered cake. Although I already posted a video about layering cakes this one was very simple to follow. It showed just how you're supposed to do it. If you are a new baker and trying new cakes you should really watch this. Comparing this video to the previous one I posted this one is the easier out of the two.

This is another news website for both current and old news that is happening globally. It has been helpful when doing research for multiple classes over this semester. It has information on most all of the latest news, and it is really good information. Most all the information that students need for research can be found on this site.

The Huffington Post is a great website to catch up on all the current events that are happening around the world. I have also found this website very helpful for current event assignments in Global Studies this semester; you can search news on any topic or any country.

These blog posts are about SCA members sharing the experiences that they had while on an SCA trail crew. Many of the blog posts are about the importance of conservation.

I honestly have no idea how I managed to forget posting this blog on here. This blog, by far, is one of my absolute favorites! Not only that, but their cookbook is amazing. The cooking has both modern and traditional aspects, which is great when easing my family into vegetarian and vegan cuisine. I definately suggest this blog to anyone who is thinking about being a vegetarian, but worries about losing some of their favorite foods. Believe me, you won't be!

This VPR radio program visits the topic of emotion in animals. Virginia Morell is an animal researcher and author of the book "Animal Wise: The Thoughts and Emotions of Our Fellow Creatures." Morell studies the emotions of different animals and their means for communicating those emotions. The large topic of interest in this short VPR news special is about whether humans have a special connection with dogs. Morell's answer is yes, dogs and humans have a similar way of communicating with facial cues and body language which makes our two species somewhat appealing to one another. This helps my research a lot in that it brings out not only the similarities between K-9s and humans but also the mysterious draw of one animal to the other. Since the domesticated dog is so closely related to the wolf, it is true that wolves have similar body language, facial expression and social behavior tendencies. Morell speaks about her topic of expertise with great ease and it is fun to listen to because she is so smart.

This article is about the possible out comes that can happen when the crisis starts to come to a close. It also gives a great political history of Russia and the Ukraine.

I am glad you put this article on Diigo Clayton! Kissenger does a nice job of reminding people to have historical knowledge before reacting; Russian history and psychology of Ukraine can not be ignored. I was intrigued by his comment that villanizing Putin is a response to not having a clear policy. HK starts his essay well with the reference to how easy war begins and how challenging and daunting it is to end. Words of wisdom...

This is a sight for artists to post their work on. It creates a community where people can share and also get inspired by looking at other peoples art. A piece that caught my eye is a linoleum block print of an iris.

I saw Robin's bookmark of Wikipedia and was at first confused, but then realized how much I too rely on Wikipedia. Wikipedia browsing accounts for at least 1/3 of all of my computer usage. Literally whenever I find myself interested in a topic, Wikipedia is the first site I look at. The page "/wiki/Portal:Current_events" is even my primary news source. The summation of all of my experiences with Wikipedia is represented in these two xkcd comics. http://xkcd.com/903/ http://xkcd.com/214/

I love the crowdsourcing of Wikipedia. If an entry is erroneous, the crowd catches and improves it. Looking forward to seeing lots of contributions from PL kids who are creating knowledge daily. Be sure to post to Wikipedia - that is the strength of the tool!

I just discovered this blog recently, and I'm already in love. The blogger highlights seasonal vegetables and everything she posts seems to be filled with color and goodness. I'd suggest this to those who are looking to get out of the "norm" of vegetarian eating, because the stuff she makes tends to be not what most people are used to eating. Locavores, organic food market regulars, and foodies rejoice; this is your blog.

This website has tons of recipes and resources for people on a vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free diet. It focuses especially on vegan baking, and has a lot of cool personalized posts that is sure to inspire anyone.

This is another great website that is full of amazing recipes. Just like the other site I posted you can search anything. This site also has shows that you can watch and chefs you can read about. Great site to find more recipes from.

Etsy is similar to Ebay. It's different because it's entirely focused on hand made products. It's a sight for artists to post pictures and descriptions of their work on along with a price. There is a monthly cost of a few cents so it is very affordable for an artist to keep their sight maintained, and also highly profitable if people notice and buy their work.

Powder Magazine has an entire part of their website devoted to avalanche education. On this page you can find updates of major avalanche events and weekly posts about various avalanche hazards and elements of backcountry etiquette.

This site provides information and a video about PTSD. This is a disorder that soldiers can face after being exposed to traumatic situations while fighting overseas.

Pinterest is a visual discovery tool that people use to collect ideas for their different hobbies and projects. People post collections on "boards" of visual bookmarks (Pins). These collections are used to do things like plan trips and projects, organize events or save articles and recipes. This particular board is full of American and European woodblock prints made between the years of 1880-1935. There is a subfocus of trees and landscape.

This New York Times blog post comments on how oversexualized and inappropriate the american apparel ads are.
