Lewis Hankins has been interested in Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens since he was a child.
He just didn't know that interest in reading his famous works such as "Tom Sawyer" and "Huck Finn" would grow into a lifelong passion.
One that he'll share at 7 p.m. on May 14 as he presents "Marking Twain, An Impersonation", at the Welfare House in Crittenden.
Hankins, a former Grant County resident, who now calls Hilton Head, S.C. home, has always liked to read.
The Williamstown girls' tennis team is still enjoying their first year in existence and have played matches against junior varsity squads from Walton-Verona and Simon Kenton.
"They've shown a lot of progress," coach Sean Binder said. "I'm impressed with how they've picked up the sport. They're getting more comfortable with the game."
"We're improving a lot this season," Sarah Bialik, a junior said. "We're having a lot of fun this year. It's exciting in our first year."
Williamstown Independent School senior Colleen Haggarty has received a $1,000 scholarship from the Cincinnati Enquirer's scholarship program for children of employees. Haggarty's father, James Haggarty, has worked for the Enquirer as operations manager since 2003, when the Haggarty's moved to Grant County from Minnesota.
Jim Hicks is coming to Grant County with the plan to make the Braves boys' basketball team a contender in the eighth region.
Hicks was named the head basketball coach for the Grant County boys' basketball team. Hicks follows Joe Utter, who was the interim head coach last season after replacing Ron Kinmon, who was the head coach for 11 years before resigning.
Grant County baseball coach Darrick Lee has told his players all season that they will not shy away from tough competition.
He believes that to be considered a top program in the state, they'll have to face top competition.
The Braves faced Bourbon County (a team with 20 wins) on May 11, coming away with a 12-3 loss in part because of errors.
Feb. 26:
Kimberly Ann Bautista, 51, Crittenden, retired, to John Birchfield Treadway, 48, Crittenden, retired
Jenna Lynn Brummett, 21, Crittenden, student, to Willard Glenn Harmeling, Jr., 22, Crittenden, meter reader
Jamie Lynn Durban, 33, Dry Ridge, waitress, to Troy Anthony Stephens, 40, Dry Ridge, laborer
March 2:
Samantha Rae Raleigh, 26, Williamstown, USPS, to Robert Jeffrey Breeze, 36, Williamstown, truck driver

When Paula Roe found out that students who attend Eagle Creek Learning Center could only get exercise when there is good weather, she was moved to action.
Roe, the administrator at St. Elizabeth Medical Center- Grant County, purchased two Wii Fit game systems for the students.
"This was the best idea ever," said Eli Helton, a student at Eagle Creek, Grant County's alternative school for middle and high school students.
Roe delivered the gaming system in person and stuck around to challenge all the students at a game of bowling.
Williamstown senior Josh Asher knew that if he wanted to make his goal of playing baseball at the college level a reality, he would have to put the work in to make it happen.
Asher's persistence got the attention of Rob Taylor and the Pikeville College baseball coaching staff, and he signed to play for Pikeville on May 11.
Thanks to a federal grant, the citizens of Corinth will have high-speed Internet available from the city of Williamstown.
Williamstown was awarded $535,000 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Williamstown will match it with $134,000.
"We were excited," said Mayor Glenn Caldwell. "You don't get that kind of money very often."
The grant will allow the expansion of Williamstown's cable and Internet service into Corinth and New Columbus.
The project will require construction of 25 miles of pole lines.
GCHS JROTC cadets Kim Phillips and Elizabeth Faulkner help Rachel Mohrhaus carry Brittany Blackburn from drill practice. Blackburn had a previous injury and couldn't complete the drill.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
There is some Heisman Trophy buzz building around Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, and for good reason.
He's the most efficient quarterback in the country, completing 68.8 percent of his passes for 1,476 yards, 16 touchdowns and zero interceptions. So No. 13 Mississippi State (7-0, 3-0 SEC) has the unenviable task on Saturday of trying to find a flaw in McCarron's armor.
The No. 1 -ranked Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0) has an efficient offense because of McCarron, a junior who's in his second season as a starter.
"He's a very efficient manager, and they punish mistakes," MSU cornerbacks coach Melvin Smith said. "They punish. They're not easy on mistakes; they punish mistakes."
Smith used the phrase "punish mistakes" in some form 11 times during an interview earlier this week. He also pulled out a Peyton Manning comparison when talking about McCarron.
"I remember (former NFL linebacker) Tedy Bruschi said this about Peyton Manning, he said, 'If you're out of position, Peyton Manning is going to make you pay,' and that's the way I see this kid," Smith said. "If you're out of position, he's going to take advantage of it."
MSU, with its deep and experienced secondary, has been strong against the pass. It ranks 12th in the nation in pass efficiency defense and has recorded 12 interceptions – corners Johnthan Banks and Darius Slay have four apiece.
'Better chemistry'
Two weeks ago, State held Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray to a season-low 148 yards. Five of MSU's opponents, including the last three, have been held below 200 yards passing.
"I think we're getting better chemistry, we're getting used to each other. It's kind of coming together," Smith said.
How will MSU try to handle McCarron? By doing what it's done to every other QB.
"We're going to disguise, we're going to play around with it," middle linebacker Benardrick McKinney said. "I know our D-linemen, they're great pass rushers, so I know they're going to get a lot of pressure on him."
MSU's pass rush has actually been modest at best. The Bulldogs have recorded 11 sacks, an average of 1.57 per game. That's tied for 82nd nationally.
"He's sitting behind that big offensive line. We've got to get to him," Bulldogs defensive end Denico Autry said of McCarron.
The last time McCarron threw an interception was Nov. 12, 2011 – against Mississippi State. Linebacker Cam Lawrence picked him off, and he said it was just a matter of being in position and not making mistakes.
"That's kind of what I was doing last year; happened to be in the right place at the right time," Lawrence said. "I was just doing my job, and a good thing happened."

Roland SH-32 Synthesizer
The SH-32 is a 4-part multitimbral desktop synth module using new Wave Acceleration Synthesis to deliver up to 32 voices of fat synth waves and entirely new waveforms. The raw waveforms are sampled rather than mathematically generated and are actually multi-sampled across the octave ranges. There's also a full complement of knobs and sliders, analog-style 808 and 909 drums, DSP effects and a killer programmable arpeggiator - all at a reasonably cheap price.
The SH-32 is more like an affordable follow up to Roland's JP-8000 and JP-8080 analog modeling synthesizers than the real SH-series synths of the seventies/eighties. But that doesn't mean it can't sound like an SH-101, for example. The SH-32 has awesome, aggressive filters, however audible stepping can be heard when slowly twisting the cutoff knob, but not so when modulated with the envelope or LFO. It has many more variations of each classic wave than older SH synths, offering 67 types of waveforms. Everything from thick bass sounds to entirely new sounds not possible on traditional synthesizers can be coaxed out of the SH-32.
Every parameter is available on the front panel via knobs and sliders. There are no hidden menus, although the mass clutter of controls and information printed on the face of the SH-32 is a bit overwhelming, but look closer and it does seem as logically laid out and organized as possible.
Whilst you can certainly hook this baby up to your MIDI keyboard or sequencer and go to town with its great sounds, the SH-32 is perfectly happy running stand-alone making it perfect for DJs, live musicians, and just plain having fun. It has no sequencer but does have an amazing Arpeggiator with programmable or tap tempo settings. There are 64 arpeggiations and 64 drum rhythm patterns and they can be fully programmed by the user. It even has a chord memory feature making it great for techno and trance style arpeggiations. Superb built in effects will sweeten up the sounds immensely as well, with 35 insert fx and 10 types of reverb and delay. The SH32 is a unique combination of virtual analogue synthesis, excellent rhythm sounds, rhythm styles, an arpeggiator, and other 'groove' facilities - with an affordable price and compact size.

I finally got everything to work. It worked once and does not work again.
Is it unfortunate or what?
I had a colleague that used to say: "Computer Science is not an exact science"
It sure seems so.
Random thought:
Moderating an Open Source project is tough job. I wonder, how long does it normally take, before benefits outweigh time invested?
I figured what was wrong with Yamit boot. Now I just have to fix it. Easier said ...
I made some changes to Yamit website. I also applied some optimizations to VM code. 2nd stage boot is such a problem. I should just stop being lazy and go thru this debugging nightmare again.
OK. jmallett certified me, I did the same for him. I also think he's got an interesting project, although our goals may be somewhat different. I think Yamit developers should/might want to have goals discussion at some point. However, I am not going to the one to provoke it.
jmallett best of luck at BSDCon. Europe is nice, I suggets going to southern France if even for a day.
Now, we are exchanging emails. Well, maybe something productive will come out of this.
And I think I should also have more people to talk too.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
The legions of black-T-shirt-, black-jeans-clad wrestling fans in this world might take offense to what we're about to say, but here goes: Wrestling is gay. That's not an epithet (like we'd ever . . . ). It just is, literally, gay. When a man in ball-outlining shiny undies wraps his crotch around another man's head, flexes his muscles, and grunts, the activity has more to do with porn than sports. It's hard to believe how straight the audience can be, but there you have it. World Wrestling Entertainment is that giant conglomerate you probably caught on TV at one time or another, but for even better theatrics in a more up-close-and-personal setting, try to scout out one of Ring of Honor's New York dates. Usually playing the intimate Manhattan Center, this indie league hosts a variety of highly toned men basically taking part in stage combat—or auditioning for a Michael Lucas film, we're not sure. If the gay community ever catches wind, wrestling is going to be as popular with the homos as the WNBA.
Even those who have dedicated their lives to loathing the Yankees (ahem) occasionally find a dude on the roster to grudgingly tolerate, even admire, even (gasp!) root for, like, hmm, let's see, uh . . . well, at least they've got one now. Nick Swisher just seems a bit more volatile, excitable, rambunctious, and human than his pinstriped brethren—even his errors have a certain joie de vivre. His generously updated Twitter feed, @nickswisher, has a simple, earnest, familiar warmth to it—wins are "great" or "awesome," losses invariably "tough"—and a kindness and benevolence not generally overflowing from the Bronx. He shouts out his dad on Father's Day, solicits suggestions for new at-bat music (pick Prince's "Kiss"!), and offers occasional injury reports ("My arm is killing me! Hahahahaha"). Anyone who Tweets "I love you, Mom!" can't be all bad—and for a Yankee, that's enough.
New Jersey Nets seven-footer Brook Lopez was the team's first-round pick last year, but the mastodon from Stanford still exceeded expectations. Do the numbers: He played in all 82 games, averaging a solid 13 points and eight rebounds in only 30 minutes a game. Not a great athlete, he still blocked 1.8 shots a game, leading all NBA rookies and setting a team record. And he made the league's All-Rookie team, too. This smart player with a pretty polished game is not likely to be a one-season wonder: This summer, he outplayed the ballyhooed Greg Oden at the U.S. Olympic team tryouts. Back at the June 2008 draft, the Knicks picked sixth and selected Danilo Gallinari. The Nets picked 10th and grabbed Lopez. So far? No comparison.
Is that a cannonball in Rex Ryan's stomach, or is he just glad to be a head coach in New York? Everyone loves a fat man (except for the blubbery but tightly wound former Jets head coach Eric Mangini, who was fired). Now you've got to give it up to Tom Coughlin, who won a Super Bowl with the Giants—but he's about as lovable as Patton. Ryan? He's tough, but he's damn funny, and, boy, is he fat: The new Jets coach reported to the team's training camp this past summer at 340 pounds, up 30 since the end of last season. It's not that he's nervous about his first head-coaching job—the guy just loves to eat. More important to Jets fans, though, is that Ryan's got more football than cholesterol in his blood: His dad, Buddy Ryan, was one of the most inventive defensive coaches in the NFL, and Ryan got high marks as a defensive genius assistant for the Baltimore Ravens. Unlike his daddy, though, Ryan is self-deprecating and downright funny. New York won't be too tough a town for him: The sportswriters like him, and the fans will, too. The guy's already admitted that he's not only fat but dyslexic. If he can just figure out his O's and X's, everybody will be happy.
A thrill one minute and a heartbreak every other—that's veteran football QB Brett Favre's operatic career in a nutshell. And when Favre abandoned New York after only one year, the Jets found the perfect successor: Mark Sanchez. Giving away the farm for the right to draft the USC quarterback was a big gamble, but it started paying off from the start of the season. Like Favre, the kid's got charm, charisma, and skill, with that dose of recklessness that makes fans want to either kiss him or kill him. And, like Favre, Sanchez has enough big plays in him that fans will probably forgive those fumbles and interceptions.
Going to a ball game was a big deal when I was in high school. It started with my father getting a schedule a couple of months before the season and circling the best games—well, the best games you had a shot at going to. Forget the really good games with traditional opponents, but against some second division patsy, maybe you could get tickets. Weeks in advance, we'd start collecting loose change for food and souvenirs.
My father didn't graduate from high school, but he knew more about economics than most sportswriters. "You might want to think about eating before we get in the ballpark," he'd advise us. "Once you're inside, they can charge you whatever they want, and it always costs more. Outside, it's the free market—inside, it's a monopoly."
When I was 15, that's what we went through to go to a pro football game every year. Two generations later, as Yogi said, it's déjà vu all over again: Today, that's what you go through if you want to see major league baseball in New York.
This is the first year since 1996 that my family and I haven't seen the Yankees or Mets play live, in person. After the new ballparks opened, I started calculating the costs. Team Marketing Research of Chicago tells me that, in 2009, a family of four can see a Yankees game, on average, for $410.88. That's bullshit. All of the projections are false. No one who leaves the house at, say, 4:30 to 5 p.m. to go to a ball game that starts at 7 p.m. and will last past 10 p.m. is going to eat just one hot dog and drink just one beer or Coke, and I'd like to know where you can find a decent souvenir cap for just 10 bucks. Their estimate, for God's sake, doesn't include peanuts or crackerjacks. If you're nuts enough to drive to either Yankee Stadium or Citi Field, you're going to pay tolls somewhere; if you park in Lower Manhattan to avoid the traffic tangle of the Bronx, you're going to pay the same parking cost you'd pay at the stadium, plus subway tokens.
The bottom line is, realistically, that a family of four is easily going to spend in excess of $500—more than likely $520 to $550 from door to door—and that doesn't include the traditional stop at a midtown Mister Softee truck on the way home. Hell, it doesn't even include decent seats: The whole plan is based on a ticket cost of $72.97, for which, I'm told, good visibility is a crapshoot.
A game at Citi Field is more affordable. By my calculation, you can expect to pay in excess of $400 (Team Marketing Research's number is $258.97).
Something has gone very wrong here. Just a couple of short years ago, baseball was the sole remaining sport where you could get together with your friends on an impulse or simply scoop up your kids and go without the kind of preparation reserved for major vacations. Now, if you're like me, you're looking at that tab and weighing it against what your kid needs to go back to school or what you need to cover the increase in your health care premium.
And, if you're like me, you're deciding it's not worth it.
Some of you, at least, are like me. Attendance at Yankee Stadium is down 14.8 percent from last year, the biggest dip since 1995. At Citi Field, attendance is down a whopping 20.9 percent, about a fifth of ticket sales in 2008. Please don't try to tell me that ticket sales are down because fans were weepy over the old ballparks. Traditionally, fans have always flocked in greater numbers to check out the new parks. And this isn't about the economy: In times of economic hardship, sensible management has always adjusted, as scores of minor league franchises around the country have shown this season by lowering ticket prices for their fans' budgets.
If the Yankees and Mets haven't done this to any great extent so far in 2009, it's because they haven't yet been stung by a significant loss in revenue. The big spenders are buying enough tickets—a 76.3 percent markup from last year in the Bronx—to justify a continuation of current policy.
If there was one huge political issue that didn't get enough attention last year during the election, it was the results of the so-called Bush Recovery—the ugly fact (proven by IRS data) that during Bush's eight years in office, about 95 percent of the new wealth created in this country went to the richest 10 percent of families. To a large extent, what we're seeing now at Yankees and Mets games is a reflection of that. The working people of New York underwrote a huge portion of the bill for these new ballparks and their infrastructure, but were ignored when the plans were set. Instead of including more seats, which would have brought ticket prices down, the new parks were designed with fewer seats and more luxury boxes—which increased revenue while shutting out average fans.
"Supply and demand," said the Steinbrenners and Wilpons when they raised ticket prices. This is the free market that Republicans have pushed on us: a market free for them to manipulate.
What burns my butt as a journalist is that for more than 20 years, we've been writing articles, editorials, and books to try and raise fan consciousness of what these bastards were trying to do with their schemes to get rid of Shea and the real Yankee Stadium. In the end, none of it mattered—they just went and did what they wanted to do, and got away with it. It was summed up by Rudy Giuliani when he was asked by a reporter why the fans weren't allowed to vote on the issue of a new Yankee Stadium. "Because," he famously replied, "they wouldn't have voted for it."
I'd love to tell Rudy to his face what my vote would have been, but I don't think I'll be rubbing elbows with him at the ballpark this year. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Just got back from Usenix 2003. The paper glyph and I wrote is available: Networking For The Rest Of Us, as are the slides. I'm still not sure we got the point across well, but the points I realized I wanted to add (configuration as scripting, ability to encode common configurations in a deployment generator, unified authentication backends) wouldn't have fit in a 30 minute talk anyway. Some of this arose from the time Glyph spent presenting Twisted to various sysadmins, and our plans to reimplement the authentication infrastructure.
The conference itself, while small, was extremely interesting and educational.
Our power grows!
Mystery Robot is written with Twisted. Mystery Robot is an implementation of Nambers, a way of making IP addresses easy to remember.
Entrance of the Central Scrutinizer, from Frank Zappa's "Joe's Garage" album:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...it is my responsibility to enforce all the laws that haven't been passed yet. It is also my responsibility to alert each and every one of you to the potential consequences of various ordinary everyday activities you might be performing which could eventually lead to *The Death Penalty* (or affect your parents' credit rating). Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things...and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force called MUSIC!
Our studies have shown that this horrible force is so dangerous to society at large that laws are being drawn up at this very moment to stop it forever! Cruel and inhuman punishments are being carefully described in tiny paragraphs so they won't conflict with the Constitution (which, itself, is being modified in order to accommodate THE FUTURE).
Hack of the day - Chopshop. Rips Shoutcast radio MP3 streams into separate MP3 files on your disk. It requires Twisted CVS (or 1.0.2 once released).
There are already existing programs that do this (Streamripper sounds nice, gotta steal that mp3 silence trick), but Chopshop is probably the shortest one - I wrote about 230 lines of code, half of it added to Twisted as generic Shoutcast protocol support.
Thanks to shlomif for the link to Neo-Tech, a hysterically funny cult. I highly recommend reading through the site (think of a cross between Heinlein's opinions as interpreted by a 16 year old, traditional rich right-wing American's political and economic agenda, and plain endearing wackiness.)
They call Bush a "closet secular humanist"! They explain how "The Zon/string-theory speculates that by orchestrating multi-dimensional quantum vibrations or gravity-unit ripples, technologically-advanced people could not only birth universes, but could design their initial conditions for optimum efficiency in developing invaluable conscious life yielding maximum returns on investment." They call Libertarians "left wing". They even explain what those mysterious Illuminati are up to.
In the immortal words of Pokey the Penguin: HOORJ!
I'm the first result of searching for "ontological proof" on Google.
The only way to deal with "logical proofs" of God's existence is VICIOUS MOCKERY!
Two weeks where I used computer a lot less, due to pain in wrists and hands. It's still not completely cleared up. I did feel well enough to finally release Cog version 0.3.
Cog is the Checkpointed Object Graph object database, providing semi-transparent persistence for large sets of interrelated Python objects. It handles automatic loading of objects on reference, and saving of modified objects back to disk. Reference counting is used to automatically remove no longer referenced objects from storage, and objects will be automatically be attached to the database if a persistent object references them.
It was originally written by Oliver Jowett, but I am now maintaining it.
I just got back from the week long Zope3 coding sprintathon in Rotterdam. Lots of fun, very educational, and now I have even more obligations of code I need to write for free software projects :)
The sprint was an impressive commentary on the success of free software as a commercial enterprise, with around 25-30 developers from 15 different organizations. Unlike Zope2, which was in general developed by a single company - Zope Corporation - Zope3 is being developed in a series of coding sprints in addition to the individual ongoing contribution of developers. The sprints and development are done, in general, by programmers at companies whose business is based on Zope2.
There are 95 companies listed as Zope Solution Proviers on zope.org, but in practice there are probably many more, as well as even more companies who sites run on Zope. No doubt almost all of them are interested in Zope3, and quite a few are putting in some resources (e.g. giving workers leave for a few days to go to a sprint) to make it happen.
On the technical side, it's interesting to compare Twisted to Zope3. While they have different purposes - Twisted is a general purpose networking framework and libraries, Zope3 is a web application server, they are both fairly large Python frameworks.
Someone called the Twisted developers "abstraction astronauts", but compared to Zope3 Twisted is so concrete you could build bomb shelters with it. This has a price of course, Zope3 is quite slow and only does 1 request a second on my laptop, but it has not been optimized at all. Knowing the people involved I don't doubt their claims that they have clear paths for optimization, and I'm sure the final release will have decent speed.
In any case, the abstraction is a good thing. Zope3 is an inherently complex application, and the new design is quite superior to the kludge known as Zope2. And Zope2 is the best content-management oriented web framework I know of (the next person to point to their favorite PHP project gets a $10 voucher for Toys R Us where they can buy some more toys.)
Twisted has been running applications for most of its existence. For example, http://twistedmatrix.com has been running using Twisted's web server for about 2 years. Since this also includes user homepages and the #python wiki (MoinMoin CGI), this provides some real world testing under real conditions. In addition, a number of commercial and open source projects are using Twisted, some of which have already been deployed. Zope3 on the other hand has not been used for any real world usage, other than developing itself - not even a test server for the development project. This will soon be changing as a couple of projects will probably start using it once the alpha is out.
I am confident in the Zope3 source code quality however, beyond the design itself. The use of interfaces means there's a clean separation between the requirements and the implementation, which does of course suck in some places. In addition, there are a *lot* of tests. Twisted has 75,000 lines of code, Zope3 has 150,000. Twisted has 350 automated tests and about 15 tests that need to be checked by users. Zope3 has 2700 automated tests! This will mean refactoring to deal with real world requirements will be much easier.
All in all, I'm really looking forward to Zope3. I'd probably be jumping up and down going "GIMME GIMME GIMME I WANT IT NOW" except I'm trying to get out of doing content management website jobs.
Spending my time getting the Cog object database up to speed for use in a project I'm working on. I've gotten it to the point that developers only need to mark their classes as persistent and then mark them as dirty when necessary, and it Does The Right Thing.
Next task is rewriting the storage backend, probably using the Python bindings to bsddb. Long term features I want to add are a backup script, GC script, hooks for indexing stored objects, maybe rollback support, but I'll do those after I finish the rest of the contract.
As usual in Python, you need to work a lot less than you might expect - Python's pickle library already has all the hooks necessary for serialization to an object database. So Cog can concentrate on doing all the other parts. It's quite a nice package even as is, other than a few rough spots.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

The Official Video for "Thumbs Up" [Video]
His story truly inspired the world. When Lane Goodwin's "Thumbs Up" craze spread like wildfire through the digital landscape, I think every single person who heard his story was inspired. I know that I was. And Chad decided that Lane was the perfect inspiration for this year's original St. Jude song.

And yet, rather popular and filled with hoi polloi when you finally get in…
OK, I admit it, things are a little better now, but I'm still vaguely surprised that my garrison isn't filled with a couple of hundred of my closest acquaintances every time I login.
And I do spend a lot of time in my Garrison. Possibly too much. This happened today:
Yup, Following Up. My first follower has hit 100. And I'm still… 93.
I bet my followers avert their eyes as I walk past…
(And besides – what sort of moron puts Leafy in charge of a garrison? I ask you…)

A bunch of stuff I read from this forum came together and woke up in my head an issue left over from last Spring. I thought I would throw it out to y'all. First off, let me give you the set-up. I hunt my own 200 acre farm in the Trans-Bluegrass Region of Kentucky. It is just my boys and myself. I usually try and spend a week straight hunting, usually the first. The boys join me on the weekends.
Last year was a hard year to hunt. It was colder than normal, windier than normal, and overall the gobblers did not get fired up until the last weekend of season. My week was at the beginning of season. I was hard pressed to make gobblers take notice of me. All through the first week of season, however, I was oppressed with one party of hunters making raucous calling from near my property line. Whenever I got over that way, they were hitting their glass friction call like all the turkeys were deaf. It was horrible calling as well.
Finally, midweek, these zekes strayed over onto my property and shot at some of my turkeys with unplugged shotguns (2 strings of 4 shots each). I was close by, and went over and found their gear-- they'd dropped everything and run off. I called the state police and they nailed them, but that is not the part of the story I wanted to tell.
What really got me to thinking was this awful loud incessant calling. It was horrendously loud. It was carrying well onto the middle of my 200 acres. It was just ugly raspy noise. This is not to say that I did not do some loud calling that week in order to deal with the wind. When I finally did connect with a gob, I brought him in from 300 yards out. I knew where he was. I knew where he was going to strut and I got there well ahead and threw out some yelps with my box call and got him hurried along. What I'm talking about is this overwhelming wall of noise we had all week until the state police hauled these guys away.
What is up with that? First off, is that really a real technique? Do folks regularly go out in the woods and yelp and cackle non stop for hours at a time in hopes that a gobbler will walk in? Do you any of you practice this? Do any of you run into this? I lead somewhat of a sheltered life as turkey hunter. I have some ridge and a little bottom land I share with the neighbors. Normally when I hear another hunter calling it is at the edge of my ability to hear. Turkeys were answering these loud calls, but they were not coming in.
Secondly, most turkey calling I've heard is attempting to be a 2-sided conversation. You call, you listen. This sounded like one of those recordings you hear in an Airport: "The white zone is for loading and unloading only. The white zone. . ." Is that a technique? Does it work?
Lastly, I just wanted to put in a plea for reasonable polite calling. These goofs, even before they strayed onto my property, were hosing up acres and acres of my woods. The smaller parcels that bordered me were probably also completely swamped with this wall of sound. I can't imagine what it would have been like to run into these guys on a crowded WMA. I don't know if this makes me old school, new school, or just an old fud of a landowner, but I thought I would throw this out and let y'all jaw on it.

Well I made it! I'm in New Zealand working for Westpac as an interaction designer for their website. All good fun! The work seems really cool and I have so many ideas to implement.
In other news, I've been exploring neural networks to predict currency markets and found a modicum of success (though nothing that translates into a prediction system that I could make money out of). Been using bpnn in Python. Python slows things down a lot but allows interactive analysis. I tried updating bpnn to use numpy but found my version to be significantly slower (eg, 1.5 seconds against over 5 seconds for the new one) which is odd. Is it worth releasing the code?

Strong has called a football meeting tomorrow for the team. But here's the catch: it's at 4:30 PM. Most "I've taken another job" team meetings happen in the morning or late at night.
Let's put it this way: if Charlie Strong is leaving the University of Louisville, then he spent this entire last weekend bold-faced lying to a recruit (who then promptly switched his commitment from Ole Miss to U of L because Strong said he's not leaving anytime soon) as well as players on the team (relatives of players have been telling the media that the players have been told by Strong that he's staying). From what I know about Coach Strong is that he's not classified as one of the super-narcassistic/borderline sociopathic coaches ala Todd Graham, Lane Kiffin, Bobby Petrino, or Nick Saban.
I'll go out on a limb and say that at some point tomorrow you'll hear that Charlie Strong has signed a very lucrative contract extension with the University of Louisville that makes him one of the highest paid football coaches in college, right up there with Nick Saban and Les Miles. I could be wrong, but as I said I'm going out on a limb.

Binghamton remains among the elite says U.S. News and others
Binghamton University continues to rank among the elite public universities in the nation for quality and value according to national publications that focus on higher education. U.S. News & World Report's 157h annual "America's Best Colleges" issue and guidebook ranks Binghamton 32nd in its list of top public universities – the eighth year in a row that Binghamton has ranked among the elite Top 50. Binghamton also placed 74th overall in the publication's ranking of all doctoral universities, public and private.
Binghamton has also again been praised by the Fiske Guide to Colleges, 2005 edition, as being the "premier public in the Northeast" and one of the best values in the nation – a ranking echoed by the Princeton Review's The Best 357 Colleges.
The Fiske Guide ranks Binghamton as one of only 43 best values in public or private higher education in the nation, and writes, "Binghamton offers a challenging academic pace without the cut-throat edge." One student is quoted as saying "The caliber of the students here is much greater than that of any other SUNY school and right on par with the best private institutions."
According to the Princeton Review, at Binghamton students 'can experiment with ideas, think freely, and get the tools to expand their view of the world.'" The Review also named Binghamton one of the best colleges in the Northeast.
"I am so proud that Binghamton's quality and value are consistently praised by national publications," said President Lois B. DeFleur. "These publications look at more than statistics. They listen to our peers and talk to our students, and what they continue to find is that Binghamton's excellence comes from the quality of our faculty, students and staff, and from our total commitment to be the best we can be."
With so much at stake for prospective students and their parents, these rankings and guides are important tools during a college search according to Cheryl Brown, director of undergraduate admissions. "The college choice process is a complicated one and families are often overwhelmed as they make decisions," she said. "Having reference guides such as these provides a way to help them."
To compile its rankings, U.S. News & World Report annually calculates scores based on: academic reputation from peer institutions; retention of students; faculty resources; student selectivity; financial resources; graduation rates and alumni giving rates to compile its rankings. According to the magazine, each school's rank based on the same set of quality indicators.
Complete U.S. News ranking information is available at www.usnews.com. The "America's Best Colleges" issue and guidebook and the weekly edition of U.S. News & World Report including rankings information will both be available on newsstands on Monday, August 23.
The Fiske Guide surveys college administrators and students, makes campus visits, conducts telephone interviews and solicits other background information to research its publication, which is collated by a staff of journalists and freelance writers and edited by Edward B. Fiske, former education editor of the New York Times. It is currently available on newsstands.
The Princeton Review collects statistical information from the institutions themselves, and routinely surveys students directly for their opinions about academics, campus life and extracurricular activities. It is also currently available on newsstands.

Because many birds do not eat seeds, suet or sugar water, there is another way to draw them in from the natural cover for close-up viewing. Water, in various forms, will attract the insect- and worm-eating birds that would not otherwise be drawn in. The simplest and least expensive way to provide water for birds is in a ceramic or metal birdbath mounted on a pedestal. As long as the water is clean, and changed frequently, birds will respond. A better solution may be to set up a birdbath with moving water that is pumped from one level to another. The sound and motion of water is a great attractant for birds and will draw them in from some distance to drink and bathe.
The presence of water, the third essential to bird life in a backyard habit, will attract birds that would not otherwise be seen. In spring and summer, when the neotropical species are in the North, birds such as flycatchers, wrens, robins, vireos, thrushes and even owls will readily come to water, but not to feeders.
The ideal water area for birds is a recirculating, multi-tiered pool in which an electric pump moves the water to the uppermost level, which allows it to flow back to the lowest level, and then back again to the top. As long as there are many shallow areas, no more than a couple of inches deep, the birds will use all the levels of water as it flows from one to another. There have been times when as many as 13 American robins or 10 cedar waxwings have used such a bird bath at one time.
Water is not only essential to the survival of birds, but its presence in a backyard habitat will guarantee the attractions of a whole different spectrum of bird species.

all of you are stupid exept me cause i am black!ReplyDelete
"cooooooooooool was it busted by the cops or is this posted by the pot farmer???"
LOL! Yeah, of course. The drug dealer thought to himself, "Hey, I have a great idea. I'll post some photos of my drug den on the Net for shits & giggles. There won't be anything dangerous or stupid about that at all"!
That was MY house before I was busted. But they never found the other cave...ReplyDelete
Haha, look at the first picture, theres a cop car beside the house. Either this was busted or the cop is in on it!ReplyDelete
Check this out.
this was years ago when the cops found this place. I don't think the story ever got out how they find it. So most likely someone they sold to gave them up.
I had heard that a cheese company bought it to age cheese in.
This is just a cover up for the real pot farm 20 meters under this one.ReplyDelete
this was my great great nephews house his name was ted jones, the movie pineapple express was based on this house. the police were in on everything and the only reason he was caught was because of that damn dale denton and his meddling dealer. I guess the asians had a little bit to do with it...ReplyDelete
They should be executed.ReplyDelete
Pineapple Express anybody?ReplyDelete
That shows a lot of innovation and initiative on the growers part. I wonder how it was found out by the authorities? I wonder how much they really made from it. There must have been a lot of profit for them to put that much effort into it.
It looks like everyone who posted is related. We all seem to go by the moniker Anonymous
This was busted, you can see the cop car in the first picture to the right of the house and a cop walking on the porchReplyDelete
well, there is a cop car in the driveway it appears.ReplyDelete
Umm obviously it is a cops house. There are crooked ones ya knowReplyDelete
Executed for growing pot!? Dude, you seriously need to re-examine your priorities.
Next we'll be executin' the homos and the democrats!
whoever made that is doing a great service for mankind. thankyou clever tennessee pot farmers. I hope Ive smoked your wears at one timeReplyDelete
I'm guessing it was busted by the cops since there was a cop car in the driveway where i would think the front door is :PReplyDelete
Very "Hogan's Heroes" operation. Love the hydraulicly operated door.ReplyDelete
For anyone wondering, they were caught because of electricity.
They knew that setting up a legitimate electrical account would be quite suspicious since their power needs were well above what the house itself would need.
So they just jacked into the main line and siphoned power off. Finally, the power company tracked down where the splice was, figured out the house and called the cops.
All because of electricity.
I would have liked to see the filter of air weather they were charcoaled filtered or fabric which makes a difference to detect odor also I saw no ventilation how were these buds packed tight without circulation of airReplyDelete
They got caught stealing power from the power company. Thats how they got caught. If the power company had not been tracking down where they were loosing power they would probably still be growing wonderful weed:)ReplyDelete
The guy got caught becasue he was stealing power to run the operation! He would have been fine if he said he had to power a few freezers or a clp fridges.ReplyDelete
Cool :)
Wholesale Plant Store
or they could have bought some solar panels and made their own electricity. which would have avoided this whole mess, and they would still be growing delicious pot.ReplyDelete
If you're going to spend that much, for Pete's sake, buy some photovoltaics and go off grid.ReplyDelete
With all the electricity going to that house it was bound to get caught. Totally intense setup tho, great work to the fellas who pulled that shit off for however longReplyDelete
silly ppl, thats not pot its parsleyReplyDelete
They are usually caught by just working with electric companies and checking rural dwellings with huge increases in consumption.
Another way they catch them is by planes with thermal imagining. Apparently the grow-ups show up nice on flybys.
That's why you must use LED bulbs for indoor, kids.ReplyDelete
@Aug 6 12:41
Posted by the grower? Really? Is that really a question?
@Aug 6 1:22
Great Uncle? Or Greatest Uncle?
This is true, and they did get busted. They got caught because they were stealing electricty to power the operation.
The power company detected the drain on the network and sent techs out to investigate. Where they discovered that someone had spliced into the power lines and they called the police.

Yep, my uncle is a cop and grows Pot.ReplyDelete
Those plants look like shit. the hight of the plant "compared to the average man" is inaccurate because they're counting the bucket/pot its in and the thing the bucket sits on. This looks like low quality crappy ditch weed. I want to know who posted these pictures. If it was the cops it's propaganda that makes one situation look like the majority and if its the grower then it's a stupid thing to post.ReplyDelete

Hey anonymous...FUCK YOU lolReplyDelete
I wonder how big the spliff i roll out of all that will be. Mmm yummy. :P.ReplyDelete
they were arrested for stealing electricity. shitty growers, should have got some generators with all that cheddaReplyDelete
they could have covered their actions by building some company above this "business" , something that would have had huge usage of electricity like cooling chamber or something and so even exclude the possibility of being found on the basis of infrared radiation.ReplyDelete
i havent smoked weed 3 days and i am a heavy user, i just would give all for a bud right now , and this guy totally crazy about weed?
cmon men , there will be a time when the bud will come out of the monitor so i can smoked it, lets invent teleport in computers by images and forget about the NAzi cops !!about the setup , i may build one for me one day , with hidraulic doors too , seriously !!
thats fucking sad how can some1 grow plants under ground you are all thick if you belive this is true!!ReplyDelete
fuck the police, man.ReplyDelete
hell yeah!
thats the way to do it!!!
plants look like shit. cool spot though.
This was a real pot growing operation in Hartsville TN. Smallest county in the state (Trousdale County)
It was busted and they did find the cave.
Oddly enough the house was burned AFTER the bust.
It was a multi million dollar operation.
I didn't know them but I do live in the area.
Probably busted do to electricity consumption. Lots of lights down there and cops look out for increased electrical output. If it doesn't match house size average with electronics then it's investigated. Considering that the house looks like it's all alone they could have used solar power and simply allowed it to power the lights during the day and left them off at night. Would have taken longer to grow but less chance to get caught.ReplyDelete
They got busted by the cops. This is in Trousdale Co. Tn. I live like two miles away from this joker...well lived. someone acutally burned this house down and several other uninhabited homes in the local area. A sad day for people who loved to tell this story to other via the internet! lolReplyDelete
seeing as it's referred to as pot, and not something a mom wouldn't call it, this was most likely posted by police.ReplyDelete
this is one of the most elaborate set ups i've seen. It's incredible and its glorious haha. The money coming out of there was incredibleReplyDelete
Hi this is so beautiful.ReplyDelete
That guy was my uncles gay loverReplyDelete

The T3RU test measures the level of proteins that carry thyroid hormone in the blood. This can help your health care provider interpret the results of
Resin T3 uptake; T3 resin uptake; Thyroid hormone-binding ratio
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
Your health care provider will tell you, if needed, to stop taking drugs that may interfere with the test.
Drugs that can increase T3RU levels include:
The following can increase thyroxin binding globulin (TBG) levels:
Drugs that can decrease T3RU levels include:
Pregnancy can also decrease T3RU levels.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is done to check your thyroid function. Thyroid function is complex and depends on the action of many different hormones, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), T3, and T4.
This test helps see how much thyroxin binding globulin (TBG) is available. TBG is a protein that carries most of the T3 and T4 in the blood.
The higher the level of TBG, the lower the level of T3RU. A higher T3RU level means less TBG is available. This may be caused by hyperthyroidism.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of a thyroid disorder, including:
Normal values range from 24 - 37%.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples.Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Higher-than-normal levels may indicate:
Lower-than-normal levels may indicate:
Abnormal results may also be due to an inherited condition of high TBG levels. Usually thyroid function is normal in people with this condition.
This test may also be done for:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

The Queen has received a £5 million ($9 million) pay rise from the taxpayer to carry out her official duties in the middle of a heated political row over welfare reform.
The Sovereign Grant, which replaces the Civil List and other grants, has been set at £36.1 million for the 2013-14 financial year. It covers the running costs of the Queen's household, maintenance of the royal palaces in England and the cost of travel for official engagements, but not security or police protection.
Under the new arrangement, the Queen receives a grant equal to 15 per cent of the profits from the Crown Estate, calculated two years in arrears. The Crown Estate's 2011-12 accounts revealed profits of £240.2 million, hence the £36.1 million figure.
The news came as Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith dismissed demands for him to try to make ends meet on £53 a week as a "complete stunt" as ministers confronted their critics over wider-ranging cuts to benefits.
Smith, who insisted he had experienced life "on the breadline", was backed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, in arguing that welfare reforms were essential to helping recipients back into work and tackling Britain's previously burgeoning benefits bill.
They believe the majority of voters - particularly lower-paid workers - back the Coalition's moves to trim welfare spending.
Yesterday almost 300,000 people had signed an online petition challenging Smith to survive on £53 a week, or £7.57 a day, after he insisted he could "if I had to".

The St. John's Board of Trade wants voters to think about livability as they consider how to vote in next month's municipal election.
"The concept of an ideal place to live is subjective at best; however, there are common underlying themes that are proven by research to create a place people are attracted to live," said board chairman Denis Mahoney, according to a news release from the board Tuesday.
"More people means more business, growth, spending and tax dollars. And that goes double when you're attracting young talent. Making this place a magnet for young talent will make our city thrive. First, we have to work to make this place more attractive."
The board cites U.S. research that suggests social offerings, esthetics and openness are key indicators of attachment to a place, and that there's an "extremely positive correlation" between attachment and economic growth.
The board also pointed to a 2012 ranking by MoneySense Magazine of the best places to live in Canada on factors including transportation, crime and affordability.
St. John's placed 148th on the list of 190 Canadian cities. Calgary was No. 1.
"Today's business climate is very different than it was a decade ago, even since our last election," Mahoney stated in the news release. "We are no longer just competing with Paradise and C.B.S., or even Halifax, for business development, population growth and opportunity. Today, local business is competing with the world, and we know international businesses invest in places where they know their money will go further. We know young talent, and businesses that follow them, prefer to set up in places that are well-planned, livable and affordable."
The board says St. John's was comparable with Calgary on housing prices in the MoneySense ranking, but household income in
St. John's was significantly lower.
Victoria Belbin, CEO of the Canadian Homebuilders' Association Newfoundland and Labrador, said in the news release that housing affordability is key to making a city livable.
"Cities have to work to make housing — a cornerstone of every community — affordable to attract young talent looking to find their perfect first home," she said.
Throughout the municipal election campaign, the Board of Trade, with several partners, including The Telegram, has been highlighting what it considers key issues for voters to consider when voting in the Sept. 24 election.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) — No matter how Congress resolves its fiscal issues, one thing it won't be able to get back is the economic boost that normally comes from consumers during the holiday season.
For proof of the humbug that the so-called fiscal cliff is spreading this holiday season, one need look no further than two consumer confidence/investor optimism measures released Tuesday.
Why are stocks such a hard sell?
Since hitting a recession-driven low in 2009, the Dow has doubled in value. But many individual investors remain too fearful to join in the gains.
The Investors Business Daily Economic Optimism Index fell by 7.2% in December, having moved from a positive bent to a pessimistic tone just two months ago. While the poll shows that investors remain upbeat about their own personal finances, they are nervous about the six-month economic outlook and lack confidence in federal economic policies.
The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index typically does a good job foreshadowing the results of better-known consumer-confidence measures released later in the month by the University of Michigan and The Conference Board.
Meanwhile, the Consumer Reports Index reported a sharp decline in sentiment among affluent Americans — those earning $100,000 or more — the first time the index has seen the normally positive vibes of the wealthy households fall in line with the lower-income masses.
If consumers aren't feeling the "ho-ho-ho" of the holiday season, they're not spending "mo'-mo'-mo.'" Tidings of discomfort are likely to translate to no joy for the retailers and others who depend on fourth-quarter revenues to "make the year." That does not bode well for some small businesses, a vital engine for job creation and retention in an economy desperate for more employment opportunities.
At this point, no matter when or how the politicians resolve the fiscal cliff issues (or don't), it's probably too late to inject much feel-good into the holiday season. Retail numbers may look better, but that is most likely due to the post-Thanksgiving holiday this year being the maximum number of days possible.
Instead, it's increasingly clear that big-picture worries have given consumers a pre-holiday hangover, and that means bigger headaches for the economy come January.

Here's a classic greens salad with vinaigrette. Check out the variation tips for making three other great tasting salads.
To toast nuts, heat oven to 350°F. Spread nuts in ungreased shallow pan. Bake about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully because nuts brown quickly. Or cook nuts in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown and fragrant.
Toss 2 cups quartered strawberries, 1 package (4 ounces) goat cheese crumbles and 1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted with greens and vinaigrette.
Toss 1 medium green apple, chopped (1 cup), 4 ounces Gorgonzola or blue cheese, crumbled (1 cup), and 1/3 cup toasted walnuts with greens and vinaigrette.
Toss 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced, 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, cut in half and 1/3 cup finely sliced purple onion with greens and vinaigrette.

I just got back from turkey hunting on a friend's ranch where in addition to having excellent deer and turkey hunting, he raises cattle and grows wheat. He told us of a new government program that will pay him $50,000 per year for five years. All he has to do is provide a concrete ramp out of all of his metal stock tanks so that when critters fall in they will have a way out and not drown. He wasn't exactly sure of the formula that developed the $50M but it had to do with the number of acres, number of tanks, etc.. Oh, and this is in addition to the $32 per acre per year for CRP. All he has to do there is not grow anything, cut down any cedar trees and I don't think he can graze cattle on it.
Just can't find any areas to cut spending regards,

Women's Friendships, in Sickness and in Health
April 25, 2017,
An abdominal x-ray is an imaging test to look at organs and structures in the belly area. Organs include the spleen, stomach, and intestines.
When the test is done to look at the bladder and kidney structures, it is called a KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) x-ray.
Abdominal film; X-ray - abdomen; Flat plate; KUB x-ray
The test is done in a hospital radiology department. Or it may done in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist.
You lie on your back on the x-ray table. The x-ray machine is positioned over your abdominal area. You hold your breath as the picture is taken so that the picture will not be blurry. You may be asked to change position to the side or to stand up for additional pictures.
Before having the x-ray, tell the health care provider the following:
You wear a hospital gown during the x-ray procedure. You must remove all jewelry. You must sign an informed consent form.
There is no discomfort. The x-rays are taken as you lie on your back, side, and while standing.
The x-ray will show normal structures for a person your age.
Abnormal findings include:
The test may be performed for:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray. Women should tell the health care provider if they are, or may be, pregnant.
The test is not usually recommended for pregnant women. The ovaries and uterus cannot be shielded during the abdominal x-ray because of their location.
Men should have a lead shield placed over the testes to protect against the radiation.

Photo exhibition focuses on West Africa's mentally ill people
Posted February 5, 2003; 01:09 p.m.
An exhibition of work by French photographer Vince Fougere, focusing on mentally ill people in West Africa, is open to the public through Friday, March 21, at the Bernstein Gallery in Robertson Hall.
A reception marking the opening of the exhibition, "Africa's 'Lunatics,'" will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, at the gallery. Joao Biehl, an assistant professor of anthropology , will give remarks and introduce Fougere, the youngest winner of the Golden Eye Award, a prestigious French media honor.

While the public is being bombarded with messages to drink fluids during exercise, research evidence is lacking that sports drinks, over plain water, are actually necessary to stay hydrated.
According to the advice of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietet-ics, Sports Nutrition manual, individuals exercising 45 minutes or less, even at a moderate rate, don't need sports drinks in place of water during their workout.
Local residents will have the opportunity to participate in a number of programs offered in the next few weeks by Carroll County Extension office.
These offerings deal with topics such as health, sewing, quilting, diabetes and embroidery.
Later in February and March, we are also planning an Extension Homemaker lesson, "Why Quilts Matter on February 18, classes in the heritage skill of huck toweling on March 4, and classes in beginning sewing, basics of cooking and baking and healthy weight management.
The Carroll County Cooperative Extension Service will host the Master Stocker Program, beginning at 6:30 p.m., on Thursday, Feb. 6.
The Master Stocker Program is a Kentucky Beef Network Program, funded by the Kentucky Agriculture Development Board, that is developed and delivered by the University of Kentucky, College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
It consists of eight 2 1/2-hour sessions focusing on background and stocker operations in Kentucky. All sessions will be held through Micro-soft Lync at the Carroll County Exten-sion Office.
Carroll County Extension Homemakers are hosting "Snowflakes and Soup" at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, at the Carroll County Exten-sion office.
Presi-dent Patty Kost invites all members and friends to come out for a night of making crafts and plenty of different soups for tasty enjoyment. If you are interested in Extension Homemakers and would like to find out more about the organization, this is a chance to do so.
Anyone wanting more information should call the Carroll County Extension office at (502) 732-7030.
The New Year is a great time to get involved with Kentucky 4-H. With 4-H programs in all 120 counties, there are numerous opportunities near you. You can get involved by participating in a club, enjoying a project, leading a group or becoming a volunteer. In 4-H, the opportunities are endless.
Some 4-H activities or clubs that you or your child might enjoy participating in are:
The countdown to the first day of spring is on: It's now 57 days.
With the snowfall and cold temperatures we have seen this week, I am definitely looking forward to welcoming spring with open arms.
As spring approaches, our thoughts travel to preparing our vegetable garden for the season. You do not need to wait for warm weather to start your vegetable garden.
Did you know there are several types of vegetables you can start as early as March?
The following are tips on spring calving a cow herd:
Start cows on the high magnesium mineral supplement soon. Consider protein supplementation if hay is less than 10 percent crude protein. If cows are thin, begin energy (grain) supplementation now.
Consider vaccinating the cows to help prevent calf scours.
Get ready for calving season. See that all equipment and materials are ready, including obstetrical equipment, record forms or booklets, eartags, scales for obtaining birthweights, etc.
The "It's Sew Fine: for Home and Family" Sewing Expo will be held at General Butler State Resort Park on Tuesday, April 15 and Wednesday, April 16. This is the eighth year of the popular expo with sewing enthusiasts from around the Commonwealth and nearby states attending. Classes will be taught by professionals and skilled sewing teachers from Kentucky and across the county. This year's teachers are from Kentucky, New York, Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio and North Carolina.
Getting your financial habits in order is good to undertake as we begin a new year. Last week I discussed the importance of analyzing your spending habits and creating a good spending and saving plan to stretch your money and make it go further.
No matter your income, you can learn ways to live within your means. Without a plan, you may charge for purchases, thus increasing the money you owe. Or, at the end of the month, you may find yourself with no accessible cash. This can cause undue stress and hardship to you or your family
It has been a cold start to the week and making sure our livestock are adequately cared for in these cold temperatures is a concern for all livestock producers.
In addition to being mindful of feeding high quality forages and supplemental grain to provide energy and keeping waterers flowing, we should also take a look at another pest of winter: lice.
Lice are cold-loving pests that can spread when animals bunch together in response to frigid temperatures.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Due to some technical problems, the hosts offered us a bigger appartment (in Semmelweis street), which we we very happy with.
Absolutely in center location, fully equipped, perfect stay even for longer period.
The apartment was basic and adequately appointed and very clean , the beds were comfortable and it is well situated in a quiet area .Good value for money. The collection from and return to the airport and the meet and greet all worked well .
Nice apartment, great location, good contact! Highly recomended!
Good location and authentic setting. Good conditioning and good value
Buena localización y entorno auténtico. Bien acondicionado y buena relación calidad-precio
Our stay was without any complaint. Nice neighborhood, good apartment and excellent and flexible service and correspondence. Thank you.
The flat is in a great position - just round the corner from the synagogue and many areas of interest are within walking distance. As Deak F Ter (transport interchange) is very near it was easy to travel all over the city on the metro.
Really good location within reach for major sights and close to the tube station. Nicely decorated flat with a nice view from the balcony. Wireless not working might be an issue for some.
Next time in Budapest, we will book the same for sure.
Lovely flat in a quiet and central Budapest street, we recommended to book it. Perfect view on the Gellert hill.
No complaints about the host. Friendly and correct, and I think it belongs to a larger empresma, so it was all very clear and specific purposes and interests of the tenant. As for the apartment, or in general, if you want to cook something down the kitchen, although it is understood by the small size of the apartment. We were 4 and fits well, albeit 2-3 and best mate. Being close all the nightlife we believe is the best highlight. The only negative to the hot water tank is short and if several people are just douche, but hey, it is a lesser evil!
Sobre el anfitrión ninguna queja. Amable y correcta, y creo que pertenece a una empresma más grande; así que estaba todo muy claro y sin fines específicos ni intereses del inquilino. En cuanto al apartamento, bien en general, si se quiere cocinar algo apretada la cocina; aunque es de entender por las dimensiones reducidas del apartamento. Nosotros estuvimos 4 y se cabe bien, aunque de 2 a 3 mejor y para pareja ideal. Toda la marcha nocturna cerquísima que creemos es el mejor punto a destacar. Lo único negativo que el acumulador de agua caliente dura poco y si se duchan varias personas se acaba, pero bueno; es un mal menor!
We stayed in the apartment Pozole which is next door from the Opera. The apartment is located in a very central location, in a very hip and young neigbourhood, around the corner from the fashionable Andrassy Ut. The apartment is in a very nice, quiet and clean building, and the apartment itself is a very quiet place. The apartment is spacious and has all facilities necessary, well equiped kitchen, tv (mostly Hungarian channels), fast and working wifi, bathroom, bedroom, etc. Towels and sheets were included, as well as extra covers and pillows. A hairdrier and washing machine and dishwasher is present. The place was rather clean, however not comparable to cleanliness in a good hotel. The one inconvenience is the lack of light and of view as the apartment looks out on a blind wall, which one can't see from the pictures on the website. The host was friendly and professional, and was very accomodating with regard to a later check-out and the possibility to leave the luggage in the apartment until our departure to the apartment. The mandatory city tax of 4% on the total apartment price was payable in cash upon arrival. We can recommend this apartment.
