Great Staple These earrings are simple and cute--not to mention, they go with just about everything. When I need something basic, these are definitely my go-to. January 17, 2012
LOVE! Go with everything! Great basic earring to own! Bought them in the gold and they are beautiful. Not a cheap looking yellow gold. Will probably get them in the silver as well. Can be dressy or casual. Great size and they are nice and light! Highly recommend. August 1, 2014
Classy Love these earrings. They are so classy and go with anything from jeans and a sweater to a cute blouse. April 30, 2014
Too Cute! Many Compliments on These. This is a very cute pair of earrings! I got a ton of compliments about these when I wore them. Unfortunately, they tarnished within months, so I had to get rid of them. But, I would definitely recommend them as a cute accessory. January 12, 2014
nice basic earrings These earrings can be dressy or casual; they're big enough to be noticeable, but not so big they look costume-y. Comfortable and lightweight. December 24, 2013
Great Earrings I purchased these earrings in gold. Super cute and simple! They go with anything but also add fun to your outfit because of the flower shape! June 18, 2013
I *heart* these! I first bought these in silver and just recently bought them in gold. Love them! They are perfect for any outfit really. Plus there is more character to them than a typical stud or hoop. March 21, 2013
Too cute! Paired with my diamond studs...these flowers are too cute! Great quality! December 14, 2012

Poured a nice brown color with a quarter inch creamy head. Malty flavor with a good hop hit, but not overly bitter. Very balanced and easy drinking. Flavors really show through as the beer warms slightly. Aroma is roasty and mildly hoppy. This is a beer that sets the standard for quality and drinkability.

Appearance Simply gorgeous. The deep, shiny brown flavor held some ruby coloring, and the brownish head built well (not overly so), and went down sensually.
Smell The hops come out right away in this one. They are raw and aggressive, as if they are still in the ground. Theres a hint of something fruity as well, although I wasnt able to make it out. Its very sugary, like a carrot or maybe something man made (perhaps highly refined table sugar).
Taste How did I not pick up the malt in the nose? I assumed that I was in for an unbalanced hop attack, yet the balance is amazing. This is unbelievable!
This one is a perfect mix of hops, malts, fruits, and sugars, and boy are they big. Theres a ton of fun in this bottle. The aromatic floral hops are evenly complimented by quality malts, sugars, and about a hundred different fruits. You could spend all day calling these ones out.
Mouthfeel Little carbonation but a fine, smoothy foaminess on the cheeks. This one is very lively, yet not overpoweringly so.
Drinkability I cant stop drinking this beer.
Comments Im sure that itll label me the green newbie with his eyes caught in the headlights, but Im falling all over myself drinking this beer. This will replace my cocaine/crack/tobacco/heroin/pot/obsessive-compulsive knuckle-cracking habits all at once. Why would I hit the pipe when I could tap the Bastard?
Seriously, this one is astounding. These guys have to be Stone crazy. The oak-aged Arrogant Bastard reviews certainly have my interest at this point. The, Fluid malten beast, (Classic Coke) just made a new fan.

On tap at Jupiter in Berkeley.
Pours a dark crimson into one of Jupiters hoity-toity pint glasses. Medium thickness whitish head that quickly dissipates. Heavily loaded caramel base with powerful grapefruit and juniper aromas. Blistering hoppiness that manages to not overwhelm the strong caramel body. Some nice toast and roasted character. Wonderfully balanced. Quite impressive really. This beer has a reason to be arrogant. Body is firm. Finish is mouth coating maintaining its outstanding balance. Surprisingly drinkable.

They always have Arrogant Bastard on tap at a pub close to my house. Pours a deep ruby shade of brown with a thin head that leaves tremendous lacing. I've found that many of Stone's brews leave awesome lacing, and this one is certainly no exception. The initial whiff has a floral essence with plenty of hops and flowers, which is quickly followed up by a nice helping of toasted malts and grains. The taste has pronounced bitterness from the hops up front that quickly becomes mellowed out and balanced by a deep, sweet caramel flavor with roasted barley and a hint of earthy and coffee flavors. The bitterness is nearly a whim by the end, but clearly leaves an impression on your tongue, teasing you to drink more. The mouth is somewhat thick, very smooth, and a bit creamy.
This beer contains a solid amount of malt flavor as well as hop flavor and does an incredibly nice job of balancing the two in near perfect harmony - one of the hardest tasks when making beer. This is a beer that I have had many times, and I'm sure many more times to come.

Pours with a big tan head, the beer is ruby brown in color. Smells sweet, citric, alcoholy. Almost no carbonation. From the first sip the alcohol makes its presence known. Bitter throughout with a nutty-bitter slightly astringent aftertaste, which really lingers. A faint mustiness can be tasted, which seems odd and out of place. A real hoppy kick in the crotch. I wanted to like this beer more, and I consider myself a hophead, but it was a little too bitter/astringent without enough balancing maltiness for me.

Reviewed from notes made on 10/29/10.
A: Pours an exquisite dark mahogany, bordering on brown, with a one finger beige head that results from a medium pour into a snifter. The head slowly goes away and leaves little onion-looking guys and some big old bubbles in the film that retains on top of the beer. Thick, chunky lacing coats the side of my glass.
S: A grassy, citrus hop smell leaps out of the glass and into my nose. Lemon, lime, and orange meld with freshly cut grass to create a great, fresh smell. A caramel malt backbone adds a thick sweetness to the smell and the house yeast contributes a dry biscuit presence.
T: The citrus, grass, and bitter hops assert their bold flavor immediately, then the caramel malt mellows out the flavor until the bittering hops kick in and leave my mouth with a very dry, tobacco-like aftertaste.
M: The feel of this beer is varied and intriguing. The hops ride their bitterness bike all over my mouth for the duration of the sip, while the sweeter malt element provide a nice coating, medium bodied experience for my palate.
D: Arrogant Bastard has a really enjoyable flavor and a solid mouthfeel that lead to a solid beer that I will enjoy many more times in the future. It's strange, though... maybe I've just gotten so used to drinking big, bold beer, but AB is not nearly the beast that I remember it being when I first tried it. Now I just think of it as a well crafted, solid beer.

4.14/5 rDev -0.7%
A: A copper colored beer with great clarity. The head is made of long lasting, rocky tan foam that leaves a bit of lacing on the glass.
S: A moderately-strong malt aroma with moderate citrus hops that has a touch of tropical fruit. The malt has a light caramel character and a touch of that barley wine, malt complexity going on with undertones of chocolate and toast. There is a light floral alcohol note.
T: Moderately-strong hops bitterness with moderate caramel malt sweetness. There is a light bit of graininess to the malt flavor along with some chocolate and toasted bread flavors. There is a moderate amount of citrus hops flavor that is mostly a lemon-lime type of a flavor. The balance is fairly bitter with an of dry finish. A linger hops bitterness and citrus flavor in the aftertaste along with a touch of alcohol sweetness.
M: A warming beer with a medium body and moderately-strong carbonation. The alcohol warms you all the way down to you belly.
O: A great, got to, aggressively hopped beer that drinks like a fresh Americanized version of an Old Ale. This beer could hold it's own when paired with a spicy owing to how strong the flavors are or the bitterness could easily cut through a rich fatty dish. I'd enjoy this with pot roast of beef stew myself.

Pour/Appearance: Deep chestnut brown with a red hue. 1 finger head slowly dissipated with moderate glass lacing.
Smell: Lemon citrus and a floral bouquet.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied and low carbonation
Taste: Lemon and grass hops with a bit of caramel up front. A complex beer with changing taste throughout from less bitter up front to more bitter towards the middle. Rather complex, yet well-balanced on the whole.
Overall: When I first tasted this ale I said "wow." Though I've tasted many ales, and even several with the same characteristics described above, there was something about this particular one that stood out from the crowd in a positive way from the first sip.

6 p.m. - All-Star Orchestra: Mahler: Love, Sorrow and Transcendence
Gustav Mahler: Rueckert Lieder (Songs from Latter Days) Soloist: Nancy Maultsby; Gustav Mahler: "Totenfeier" ("Funerary Rites" - 1st Mvt. from Symphony No. 2); Augusta Read Thomas: Of Paradise and Light; Bernard Rands: Adieu. Mahler's turbulent loves are expressed through his music. His settings of poems by Friedrich Rueckert explore themes of love, nature, and otherworldliness. Mahler was haunted throughout his life by the premonition of his own death. The first movement of his 2nd Symphony draws stark contrasts between the composer's premonition of doom, and his vision of life. Modern parallels can be found in "Adieu" by Bernard Rands and "Of Paradise and Light" by his wife, composer Augusta Read Thomas. Both comment on the unique dynamics of creative/personal partnerships.

Jack Neal - General Manager
When Did You Start at WEIU? 2010
Favorite Show on WEIU-TV: This is a tough one! I'm a fan of everything we do both on the air as well as in the world of education. But truth be told, my favorites are locally produced programs. Heartland Highways gives me a chance to see some of the many amazing places in this wonderful area we call home. I've seen places on Heartland Highways that lifelong east central Illinois residents didn't know existed...and then made the short drive to see those places up close and personal myself. And I've learned so much about some of the most interesting people who are our neighbors.
Another of my top three would be Four Rivers Ag Report. Though I'm not a farmer, I live on a working farm and see the daily ag activity that drives our area. No matter what we do, we are a part of agriculture. And I find that fascinating. The things I've learned about our farm community as a result of Four Rivers are pretty amazing. And as much as Four Rivers Ag Report focuses on the farmers in our area, it does just as good a job of celebrating our rural lifestyle.
Last but not least is News Watch. There is nowhere else to find the kind of coverage News Watch provides our area. Even in a world of 24/7 online and cable/satellite news services, I find News Watch the only place to watch and learn what's happening in OUR community. It's unique.
What have you learned while working at WEIU? This could be a chapter in itself!In my case, I came to WEIU after working in public broadcasting for decades.I'd worked for many stations in many parts of the country. My fascination with WEIU was two-fold: The fact that WEIU is MORE than a PBS station, and the opportunity to live in this incredible community. Being a part of a non-commercial TV station that goes so far beyond programming what most PBS stations provide has allowed me to learn an amazing number of new things about our world. And being in the east central Illinois community has taught me just how special and unique this place is. I've learned that what may appear on the outside to be an unchanging environment becomes a wealth of different sights, sounds and experiences with the march of the seasons, the constantly varying weather and the beautiful lighting variations of each passing day.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? WEIU is certainly not like most TV stations. We're obviously nothing like a commercial TV station which is funded by commercials based on the number of people watching each program. Yet, we're also different than most non-commercial TV stations, as well ... both in what we air and who we aim to serve. And that's important to me. As I've seen more of the media universe surround us with an array of programs, news, shopping channels and pretty much anything you could imagine, I still find WEIU the ONLY place where I can learn about MY neighbors and MY community. I know such a service is not going to be supported by other communities or by commercial sponsors. I frankly wouldn't expect it to be. So I find it important to support that service that serves me and the people who are my neighbors. It seems to be part of the American way of taking care of those things that are important to us. At least that's how I see it!
WEIU is very important to me and I hope to you, as well.
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Jack? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
I support WEIU because I know that at any time, day or night we can tune in and we can count on good, quality entertainment and good wholesome programming made available to us. WEIU is what I consider to be a family friendly television station because I know that if my children or grandchildren are visiting and they enter the room where I'm watching TV, I don't have to worry about anything inappropriate being on my TV screen. I know that I can trust WEIU and I love that!

Click through all the images above, too.
A couple of years back, just after side-scanning technology became available, Lowrance StructureScan saved the day for Harry Vernon III and me. We were anchored on a Bimini reef in 75 feet of water, looking for yellowtail snapper. Our chumming ignited a feeding frenzy among amberjack, horse-eye jacks, cero mackerel and sharks; but where were the yellowtails? I had never fished this spot without catching them.
I turned on my Lowrance HDS 10 sonar, activated StructureScan, and set the range to 100 feet. Lo and behold, 30 feet directly off the starboard side of our boat, a large school of yellowtails had amassed. Obviously, the larger predator fish in our chum slick had them intimidated. I baited a yellowtail rod, pitched up-current of the ball of fish, and let my bait drift back to them. Wham! Fish on! Had it not been for our side-scanning, we would have missed out on our limit of tasty yellowtails.
What Is It?
Side-scanning sonar is exactly that: a view directly off both sides of your vessel. Viewing the swath of water around your boat is a powerful tool. I've discovered bait concentrations that were not visible at the surface; significant debris, abandoned crab and lobster traps, large rocks and boulders, shelves, bottom "spikes" and other fish-holding structure. And as described, we've located the fish themselves.
Side-scanning devices are offered by Lowrance and Simrad, Navico brands, and Humminbird. Key to acquiring the high-resolution imaging associated with side-scanning is high frequency: 455 kHz for greater distance and 800 kHz for greater resolution. The resulting imagery is so crisp and clear that specific fish can be identified as well as bottom structure. What it shows you off to the sides of your boat is amazing. It's the closest thing to diving without getting wet.
Side-scanning hardware is an add-on option, complete with its own transducer. Humminbird recently introduced 360-degree imaging, which enables scanning around the entire vessel.
Get to Fishin'!
Without a doubt, it is worth its weight in gold inshore, in inlets and passes, canals and rivers, channels, around docks and bridges, and along the beachfront. Waypoints can be saved; plus, there's also the ability to measure the size of objects. You can also scroll back to review an attractive piece of structure you had passed by but failed to save.
Captain Mike Holliday, light-tackle guide in Stuart, Florida, uses a Humminbird 998c on his Maverick skiff, and a Humminbird 987c on his 24-foot Pathfinder. "In my area, we fish a lot of docks and bridges for snook," he says. "There might be a stretch of 20 docks that could hold snook. Instead of going up to each one to have a look, I'll stay off them, idle along and use side-scanning to see what's underneath. It's so unobtrusive and efficient. If I see snook under one dock, I can then set up a quiet approach to catch them, rather than tipping them off to my presence by idling up to look around."
"Same for our bridges," says Holliday. "I'll make passes along the pilings looking not only for bait, which might tell me which pilings the snook might gather around, but also the snook themselves. Once I discover where they're stationed, I'll back off, get into position, and fish that school. This tactic applies to bridge fishing anywhere, for striped bass, sheepshead, cobia and so on."
Holliday also uses side-scan for locating tripletail on channel markers. These fish often get up tight underneath buoys, well hidden from traditional sonar and human eyes. By side-scanning the buoy, and down the chain to its mooring, he knows where fish are holding.

A day after announcing his intention to run for U.S. Senate, Congressman Ed Markey received the backing of some big names in the Democratic party, including the incumbent senator, on Friday.
Senator John Kerry, Vicki Kennedy, widow of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee all lined up behind Markey, reported the Washington Post.
"Ed's one of the most experienced and capable legislators in the entire Congress and it would be an almost unprecedented occasion for such an accomplished legislator to join the Senate able to hit the ground running on every issue of importance to Massachusetts," said Kerry in a statement.
Kennedy also spoke positively about Markey.
"I believe that Congressman Ed Markey is the best person to continue in the tradition of John Kerry," she said. "He will be a superb senator for Massachusetts."
No other Democrats have officially announced a run for the Senate. Congressmen Stephen Lynch and Michael Capuano have both been listed as possible candidates.

vacation rental description
Sunset and lake views beguile you at Turtle Haven, our brand-new house on Cinnamon Beach. With a private heated pool and spa, outdoor fire pit, 3 master suites, balconies, a game room, & traventine tile throughout, it's a beach haven for relaxation and fun!
Nestled near a bend in the lake in the gated Ocean Hammock resort, Turtle Haven is just down the street from lovely Cinnamon Beach with breathtaking views, sparkling waves, and plenty of marine life. You can get a glimpse of the ocean from the second floor of Turtle Haven -- or slip on your flip-flops and be there in under a minute!
Of course, if it's water you want, you don't even have to leave the property! Our swimming pool is heated and includes a bubbly spa as well as plenty of room for floaties, swim rings, and beach balls. Enclosed within a lanai that includes lounging area, a grill and fridge nearby, and a patio table with chairs, the pool is the perfect place to spend an at-home day . . . or evening, for that matter! Fire up the grill, mix the drinks, and enjoy a relaxing night with the whole group right at Turtle Haven!
Just inside from the patio and pool is our game room, complete with a 60-inch LED HDTV and Xbox. The teenagers in your group may become so addicted to this room that they start sleeping on the foldout sofa sleeper bed, but try to convince them to occupy the adjacent bedrooms instead!
There are 3 bedrooms on the first floor. One has 2 bunk beds & a trundle bed (sleeps 5) and shares a full bathroom with the game room. Another is one of the 3 master suites, with a queen-sized bed, full en-suite bathroom, and pool/spa access. The third is also a master, with a luxurious king-sized bed, travertine shower and tub, access to the outside porch, and plenty of space. All 3 bedrooms downstairs have a 42" LED HDTV as well. No matter what room you get at Turtle Haven, you'll be pampered!
After lounging by the private pool/spa or enjoying the downstairs game room with 60" LED HDTV, venture upstairs and relax in the wide open great room instead. This gracious space offers a 60-inch LED HDTV, oversized sectional and cozy chaise lounge, and leads out to a balcony with plenty of rocking chairs to sit and enjoy a lovely view of the lake. This is the place to be at sunset, a drink in one hand and a camera in the other.
The kitchen and dining areas are also on the second floor. If you're a foodie, the kitchen accommodations at Turtle Haven will whet your appetite: Bosch appliances, travertine floors throughout, stone countertops and plenty of work space! If you prefer to avoid kitchens, befriend the microwave to reheat your restaurant takeout and the icemaker to cool your drinks -- the rest is moot! But everyone will appreciate the cabinets and drawers full of cookware, dishes, and utensils. It's a dream kitchen, perfect for entertaining family and friends or just enjoying a quiet dinner with loved ones.
The dining area is designed to host a Thanksgiving feast with a 96" table that seats 10, but it works pretty well for long lazy breakfasts and pick-up dinners, too! The kitchen island boasts additional barstools for extra seating. Usually you'll find someone at the table with their laptop (you have free wireless Internet at Turtle Haven), a sheaf of sightseeing pamphlets.
Also on the second floor is the final bedroom and grande suite, which is another large master suite with a extra plush king-sized bed and 42" LED HDTV. This luxe suite includes a private balcony with an ocean view, as well as a dazzling bathroom complete with Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower all lined with travertine tile. When you awaken in this beautifully appointed space with nothing more pressing to do than finish your beach novel and go beachcombing, life has never seemed so perfect!
Book your vacation at Turtle Haven today. Everything is sparkling new and waiting for you. And you have use of all the Ocean Hammock amenities, including pools, gym, kids' splash zone, beach, and café.

Spain's War of Independence against Napoleon Bonaparte's French occupation was ignited by the popular revolt in Madrid on 2 May 1808 against the French army. With support from the Duke of Wellington, Spanish resistance continued for over five years in a guerra de guerrillas which gave the world the concept and the term guerrilla warfare. The autocratic Fernando VII was restored to the throne in 1814, and his first act was to abolish the progressive Constitution of Cadiz adopted in 1812.

It was a game that will be remembered for a record 30 players (including Blalock) making their first trips to the Midsummer Classic -- and one that will be remembered as probably the final appearance for Roger Clemens.
As for this whole All-Star week in Chicago, which went off without a hitch, it will be remembered most as another personal showcase by the once-unheralded Garret Anderson. He followed up Monday's Home Run Derby title by going 3-for-4 with two RBIs and being selected as the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player. Fans had a say in that for the first time, and you can still register to win a trip for two to the 2004 All-Star festivities in Houston.
With Tuesday's victory, the American League is starting to look a lot like that old National League powerhouse of the '70s and '80s. That makes it a six-game AL winning streak dating back to 1996, when Mike Piazza led the NL. It remains to be seen if Anderson's Angels can get back to the World Series again, but this much was certain after Tuesday's victory: The AL will have the home-field advantage in the Fall Classic again.
Selig speaks again
Speaking of that home-field advantage, MLB.com's Mike Bauman reports that the topic was the primary focus during Commissioner Bud Selig's question-and-answer session with baseball writers before Tuesday's game. It came a day after Selig answered fans' questions during his third-ever Town Hall Chat on MLB.com, conducted among more than 1,000 people at the nearby John Hancock FanFest. Bauman writes:
"Selig said the decision to go to the home-field advantage format was not a response to the tie in the 2002 All-Star Game, but was made simply to increase interest in the game. The Commissioner also deflected the argument that baseball should award home-field advantage to the team with the best regular-season record. The problem with that concept is that the identity of the Series team with the best record cannot be known until the League Championship Series are completed."
Notes and quotes from the ballpark
Mike Sweeney will be back to business soon when the Royals open the second half with a big lead in the AL Central, but he was making the most of this All-Star visit despite being unable to play due to a sore back. MLB.com's Jim Molony talked with the Royals' first baseman for an AL Notebook, and Carrie Muskat's NL Notebook shows you how Dusty Baker prepared his players for those tough AL pitchers.
Blalock had plenty to say after his dream debut in the game. MLB.com also brings you postgame comments from that Angels duo of manager Mike Scioscia and Anderson, as well as quotes from Baker, who said, "I've never seen Gagne get hit like that."
The international look
The All-Star Game had a decided international feel, especially with Hideki Matsui and Ichiro of Japan starting side-by-side in the same American League outfield. Before the game, a long line of Japanese photographers and reporters stood on the left side of the field, watching those players' every move during batting practice. Also on the AL roster was countryman Shigetoshi Hasegawa of Seattle.
Matsui, who singled off Jason Schmidt in his first All-Star at-bat, said that to have three Japanese players on the AL's roster is something he never would have believed just a few years ago.
"We couldn't have imagined Japanese players in the Major League All-Star Game, but we're playing," Matsui said through an interpreter. "It's great. The fans in Japan are very proud of how we have performed here."
The Rocket's last ride
While Matsui was one Yankee enjoying his first Major League All-Star Game, Clemens made the most of his probable last hurrah in his ninth such event. Clemens was a late addition as a replacement for Oakland's Barry Zito, who was not available due to eight shutout innings he had just thrown Sunday. The Rocket pitched a scoreless third inning, playing a key role in the AL victory.
"This is my last All-Star Game and my last year," Clemens said before the game. "I'm going to try to enjoy it as much as I can, but I have to be ready to perform. I hope my family enjoys it, because this was their decision."
Something for everyone
Now that the All-Star events are over and the focus will return to the regular season, you can be sure that few people were going to leave U.S. Cellular Field empty-handed. Certainly not the players. The pregame clubhouses each looked like a preparation for a memorabilia show.
"I got my Phillies jersey signed by everybody, but I really wanted my National League jersey signed," said Phillies pitcher Randy Wolf, who pitched the third inning and gave up an RBI single to Carlos Delgado. "But we only get one. It's a cool jersey."

Dan Radcliffe Does Not Want to be A HobbitRadcliffe
The author of the LA Times Hero Complex Blog recently went to Leavesden studios for a series of interviews with cast members on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which are due later this fall. While there, Geoff Boucher spoke to actor Dan Radcliffe regarding the persistent rumors that Dan was on the short list to be cast in the upcoming film production of "The Hobbit." In this new interview, Dan firmly states he has no interest in the project with "any wizards in it. "I'd have to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' not that anyone has asked me. Honestly, I don't think they would want me anyway, it's just too
close. Whatever I do next, I don't think there will be any wizards in
Dan also weighs in on who he think a good candidate for the part of the beloved young Hobbit Bilbo Baggins: "James McAvoy is fantastic. I think he should play it. I've done the fantasy-film thing. Actually, so has he, with the 'Chronicles of Narnia,' of course. But I've done it for longer. He can take over. I'm done. I don't think anybody involved in that would want me to, either."

Carl Fehlandt
Carl and I were good friends and fellow students at the Institute in the early 1970's. He had a sharp intellect and a great wit. Because he was from Brooklyn, he once told me that "coleslaw" was properly pronounced "cussla" in Brooklynese. I've thought of Carl every time I've eaten coleslaw for the last forty or so years. Now, I'll also have a tear in my eye when I think of Carl and his untimely passing.

DRAKESVILLE, Iowa — Animal rescuers laid out dozens of dead animals into neat rows Friday, while a police officer chipped away at ice chunks containing frozen animal carcasses, in what authorities said may be one of the largest animal hoarding cases in the state.
Sheriff's deputies and others executed a search warrant at the Drakesville, Iowa, home of Roger Blew on Friday and discovered an estimated 200 animals, both alive and dead – from cats and dogs to chickens, sheep, pigs, skunks and turtles.
"As far as dead animals, this is the worst I've ever seen," said Officer Jeff Williams, an Ottumwa Police Department officer assisting at the property.
Davis County Chief Deputy Josh Odell said there is no official count of animals yet, but he and others estimated around 200, possibly more.
Part of the problem in counting was finding all of the creatures; a police officer using an iron rod as an ice pick was chipping away at ice on the lawn, which had frozen animals locked within it.
At some animal neglect scenes, it's the smell that causes the most complaints among rescuers and neighbors. Friday on North Washington Street, it was the sounds that drew comments: The bleating of a sheep, the clucking of chickens and the call of a rooster all came from the street. A steady stream of rescuers came out of the house with cage after cage of creatures.
The sugar gliders -- small marsupials similar to flying squirrels -- made screaming noises as they were rescued from the house. In a kennel, a ferret shared space with a live skunk.
Responders at the scene reported that the animals found also included a Guinea fowl, a dog, about a dozen mice, a rooster, a baby lamb, one ferret, two skunks, a full-grown turkey, multiple pot-bellied pigs, two turtles, a raccoon, goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, a few birds and one kitten.

So when Carl Crawford stepped to the plate on Tuesday for the 75th All-Star Game, the Houston native received a nice round of applause from his home folk.
This week has been quite an experience for the 22-year-old Crawford, who just five years ago left home to embark on a professional baseball career. Perhaps it was a little sooner than expected, but the speedy Crawford played in his first All-Star Game in front of 22 family and friends and a slew of fans who have followed his career.
"Man, I didn't know all those of people knew who I was," he said after the American League's 9-4 victory. "Houston has a lot of people, and I heard them out there. That was a good feeling. It was a fun week. I hope I represented Houston well."
Maybe some of the 41,886 expected Crawford to return as a defensive back for the Houston Texans. He turned down a scholarship to the University of Nebraska to sign with the Devil Rays and is one of the fastest players in the Major Leagues.
He leads the Majors with 38 stolen bases, 16 more than the AL's No. 2 base stealer, Ichiro Suzuki. When Mike Piazza hit a fly ball to left field in the fourth inning, Crawford covered the Minute Maid Park grass like Deion Sanders covering a receiver in the open field.
When asked of his favorite baseball player growing up, Crawford said he didn't have one. Instead, he admired a pair of two-sport athletes that emerged during his childhood. Crawford was just a skinny kid when Bo Jackson and Sanders hit the scene, yet he followed their careers closely.
"The guys I liked played two sports, they could do two sports at one time," he said. "I admired that. Anybody could play one thing, that was boring."
So far Crawford has stuck with baseball, but he has had illusions of returning to the gridiron. What's more, he had an interesting conversation with Cowboys coach Bill Parcells, who remarked that Crawford had lost a step or two since his high school days.
"I told him, 'Man, you don't want me to come out there. 'I'll come out there and make your team,'" he recalls.
Of course, that never occurred. Crawford is having too much fun playing baseball and helping invigorate a Tampa Bay franchise that has not had much success since its inception in 1998. The Rays are in third place at the All-Star break for the first time in club history, and Crawford is a big part of that resurgence.
On Tuesday, Crawford didn't have much of an impact. He struck out against Carlos Zambrano to end the top of the fourth inning. In the sixth, after David Ortiz crushed a home run off Carl Pavano, Crawford ended that frame with a bouncer to second base.
Crawford played until the ninth inning, when he was replaced by pinch hitter Hideki Matsui.
"Everything else was good, but I didn't get a hit," he said. "I was trying to get a hit, but Zambrano, man, he's special. I just tried to make contact. And against Pavano, I didn't get much to hit."
With his first All-Star experience behind him, Crawford heads back to Tampa Bay motivated to help the Rays earn a winning record this season. They are three games below .500 and coming off a four-game sweep at the hands of the New York Yankees.
"We know we don't have the firepower like New York and Boston, but we want to shake things up in the AL East," he said. "We want to make things interesting."
Crawford said the biggest thrill on Tuesday was taking the field at Minute Maid Park with his parents amongst his supporters.
"It was a great feeling playing in front of my parents," he said. "Who knows when this might happen again? So you have to seize the moment and have fun doing it. Hopefully it won't be the last time."
