MORE

MORE
Aug. 11, 2014
Republicans, who already control 55 percent of all state legislative seats, aim to pick off about a half-dozen chambers in elections this year and enact policies that can get no traction in Washington; they are taking advantage of Pres Obama's unpopularity, anxiety about economy and history of anemic turnout among Democrats in nonpresidential election years (Series: One-Party Rule).

MORE
Aug. 3, 2014
Ross Douthat Op-Ed column warns that Pres Obama's political apparatus is playing dangerous game as it talks nonstop about alleged Republican plan to impeach the president; notes that what makes this risky is that Obama is contemplating offering temporary legal status to up to half the nation's illegal immigrants, an extraordinary abuse of office.

MORE
Aug. 2, 2014
Gail Collins Op-Ed column observes that an intransigent Congress was at least able to pass a short-term fix to the imperiled Highway Trust Fund, even as it failed to act on a number of more important measures; notes that proposal was funded by dubious practice known as 'pension smoothing,' which allows companies to put less than the required amount into their pension funds on a temporary basis, raising tax revenue. MORE
Jul. 31, 2014
House of Representatives votes to sue Pres Obama for overstepping the powers of the presidency in his application of the Affordable Care Act; move angers conservatives who call it insufficient, emboldens Democrats who say Republicans are being vengeful, and further erodes much of what is left of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill. MORE

Herbstein Sankt Jakobus
"Herbstein" was first mentioned in 930 and received city rights in 1262. Testimonies of the past are the well-preserved city wall and the 600 year old church of St. James. Attractions: Market Square with James Fountain, City Hall and the Protestant Church. Other sites of interest: "Herbstein" is on a rocky cliff, the vent of a volcano. The former volcanic activity is impressive.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

The latest scribe in the White House is First Lady Michelle Obama, who signed with Crown Publishing to write a book on healthy eating and her garden on the South Lawn.
All proceeds will go to charity, according to the Associated Press, and the as-yet-untitled book is due out in April of 2012.
Not too long ago Obama took heat from some Republicans about her advocacy of teaching kids to eat controversial food items such as vegetables and fruits. What was she thinking? Now pass me some McNuggets, would you?

ALEXANDRIA, Ind. — The latest trend in poultry names among 4-H fair entrants these days is decidedly against the likes of Foghorn Leghorn, Daffy or Sylvester.
Cartoon and action movie names are still popular, but think more along the lines of Disney and Pixar over Loony Toons. What's popular now are names like Jesse, Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story," and Harley Quinn, and The Joker, from "Batman."
But some, like Chayleen Ray, of Frankton, don't bother naming their poultry because sometime in the not-so-distant future they're likely to be what's for dinner.
The 15-year-old Frankton High School student — who entered two turkeys and a duck in the poultry show at the Madison County 4-H Fair — said she used to name her birds, but not anymore.
"At a young age I kind of got used to the whole slaughtering and eating thing," she said. "A lot of the food we eat comes from my backyard, and if not there from the neighbors."
Emma Noble, also of Frankton, entered her Wyandotte, Carol. Known for the quality of their meat and eggs, at age 10, Carol was likely the grand dame of the poultry competition. The 14-year-old 4-H'er uses Carol to help train younger birds for competition.
"She knows how to puff herself up and make herself look bigger, and the younger birds watch her," Emma said. "She just stands in her cage and looks pretty. I got her when she was three and have had her for seven years. She just plays and eats and stays in the garage."
Fifteen-year-old Blake Dietzer entered two Silkies — the ones named after characters in the "Batman" movie — in the fair competition.
Silkies are distinctive for their unusual colors (for chickens), and an odd ball of feathers on their head that protects their face.

TROY, N.Y. – March 31, 2007 – Senior All-American Alex Kampersal of Springfield College heaved the shot put a personal best 55-11 ¾ to qualify provisionally for the NCAA Division III nationals and lead his men's team to a first-place finish in the RPI Quadrangular Track & Field Meet this afternoon at RPI's Harkness Field.
As a team, Springfield placed first with 301 points, followed very closely by RPI with 299. In third was St. Rose with 52 points, and finishing fourth was Plattsburgh State with 45.
Springfield Head Coach Ken Klatka was extremely pleased with the outcome. "I was happy with how we competed," said Klatka. "Every single one of my guys gave it more than 100% effort."
Kampersal's effort in the shot put will allow him to compete in the New England Division III Championships at Springfield College May 3-5, the All-New England Championships at Dartmouth May 11-12, the ECAC Division III Championships at Oneonta State May 17-18, and the NCAA's at Wisconsin-Oshkosh May 24-26. The 55-11 ¾ was seven inches shy of automatic qualifying, but "he's pretty much assured of going with that mark" (Klatka).
A native of Natick, Mass., Kampersal won the shot put, but he was not the only SC performer to finish first. Also placing first was freshman Steve Headley (Wilbraham, Mass.) in the 100 (11.27), senior Dave Forrette (Chicopee, Mass.) in the 400 (50.73), sophomore Mike Griffin (Scarborough, Me.) in the 1500 (4:04.02), senior Jeff Cogan (Walworth, N.Y.) in the high jump (6-2), junior Jon Lewis (Fitchburg, Mass.) in the discus (148-1), junior Dominic Uguccioni (Colrain, Mass.) in the hammer (156-9), and senior Cameron Turchetti (South Deerfield, Mass.) in the javelin (161-4).
All of those marks (except for Turchetti's) qualified for the New England Division III's. Lewis's mark also qualified him for the All-New England's.
In addition, SC also won the 4x100 relay with a time of 43.77, and the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:26.79. The 4x100 included freshman Matt Amendola (Milford, Conn.) freshman Jermaine Bell (Boston, Mass.), junior Tim Rehm (Waldrick, N.J.), and Headley. The 4x400 included sophomore Chris Okerblom (Salisbury, Md.), Rehm, sophomore Eric Nacsin (East Longmeadow, Mass.), and Forrette.
Rehm also placed second in the 400 (51.38) and third in the 200 (22.06). Headley also placed second in the 200 (22.28, which qualified him for the New England Division III's).
Lewis finished second in the hammer at 155-3, and Kampersal placed second in the discus at 134-3. Both of those marks also qualified for the New England Division III's.
Next Saturday (Apr. 7), Springfield hosts Middlebury and Westfield State at Blake Field at 11 a.m.

Amateur radio enthusiasts in Beaumont Saturday looked to the sky as they launched a "Near Space Balloon"
The Beaumont Amateur Radio Club hosted the event with preparations beginning at 8 a.m. The actual launch was just before 10 a.m. at the Beaumont Municipal Airport.
This is the third balloon launch by a group of hams known locally as B.O.S.S (Balloons Over Southeast Texas Space). The purpose of the project is to bring attention to and promote Amateur Radio by showing different aspects of the hobby.
The balloon carried the largest payload the group has sent up so far. The payload included an amateur radio location package that gave followers the GPS coordinates with altitude, temperature and other vital information about the balloon.
The balloon also carried a video camera that sent back live footage with sound to the ground team.
Organizers say the balloon reached an altitude of 93,772 feet and made landfall in Plumb Grove in Liberty County, about 70 miles north-west of its launch point.

|< previous | next >A Fan's Journey to the North CountryNCPR Home
Viggo Mortensen, the actor best known for his role as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings movies, returned to his native North Country to open an exhibition of photographs and read poetry at his alma mater, St. Lawrence University in Canton. As soon as the trip was announced, fans of Viggo (and all things middle-earthly) began to plan an invasion. The following account was written by Lorraine Murphy, a fan from Vancouver also known as Evil Elf.
There are so many reasons this trip is impossible. So many GOOD reasons. It IS impossible. But of course that has no bearing on the situation whatsoever; we are dealing with Americans here.
So here I am in the Vancouver International Airport, on my way. Clearly, however impossible the trip is, it is more impossible NOT to go. It is certainly impossible to change the mind of a Connecticutite once it is made up, that I know for sure.
It's all Ara's fault. Ara short for Aragrothien. Ara, like me, is a Viggofan. Should I back up a bit? No, why should you be any less confused than me, eh? So Ara, who lives in Connecticut, got talking to some of the other Viggo Mortensen fans on the fanbase, www.viggofanbase.com/modules/news, and she, dragonlady, gubydal, pandora, you know, that lot, well they are on their way right now to Canton, New York to see Viggo. He's doing a big booksigning and art show and suchlike at his old alma mater, Saint Lawrence University. And these ladies decided amongst themselves and for God knows what reason that their trip would not be complete without the presence of Evil Elf herself.
That would be me.
Now ordinarily it's just not to hard to get me out to meet a man who paints, writes, takes photographs, and acts well; it is even easier when he is tall, blond, blue-eyed, handsome and single.
Gotta dash, more later!

|Over 43 years of leadership in international
active vacations at unsurpassed value
Upon arrival at Cork's airport, claim your luggage and clear customs. If your luggage is lost, fill in a PIR form before leaving the customs area—VBT representatives are not allowed into the customs area. Make certain that your VBT luggage tags are affixed to your bag so your VBT representative can identify you. After exiting customs, enter the arrival hall and look for your VBT representative, who will be holding a VBT sign and will make arrangements for your transfer via taxi or van to our Cork hotel (transfer time is approximately 20 minutes, depending on traffic).
VBT provides you with City Information in your Final Travel Booklet that includes information and recommendations about what to see and do in Cork. Enjoy the rest of the day to relax or explore the city on your own.
VBT No-Air Package guests: After breakfast on your own, meet one of your VBT Trip Leaders at Cork's Imperial Hotel at 9:00 am (Address: South Mall, Cork, Republic of Ireland; Tel: +353 [0] 21 427 4040). To reach the hotel, you can take a taxi from Cork airport into the city (approximately 20 euros/$26.00 USD), or travel on Bus Eireann, which provides frequent and direct coach service between Cork Airport, Cork City Center and Cork Bus Station (approximately 5 euros/$7 USD; travel time is approximately 25 minutes, depending on traffic; for more details go to www.buseireann.ie). If your arrival in Cork is scheduled for later than 9:00 am or if you are delayed, you must transfer at your own expense (approximately 180 euros/$235.00 USD for a taxi; travel time approximately 90 minutes, depending on traffic) to our hotel in Killarney. Please contact our Cork hotel to advise them of any delays or changes, and the hotel staff will pass the message along to our VBT Trip Leaders.
VBT Air Package and Pre-Trip Extension guests: Meet one of your VBT Trip Leaders in the hotel lobby at 9:00 am.
Once we've gathered, there will be a short introductory meeting, followed by a transfer via private bus from Cork to Killarney, a journey of approximately 90 minutes, depending on traffic. Our first destination is Killarney National Park. Ensure you are prepared for a day of walking, as the bus will continue with our luggage to our hotel after leaving us at the park entrance. Here we meet our second VBT Trip Leader and see stunning vistas of the Killarney Lakes and their impressive mountain backdrop. We walk through a lush meadow, along a river and through the woodlands to reach the lakeshore. Across the waters, we'll admire the tree-smothered slopes of Tomies Wood, stretching upwards towards the peaks of the Shehy and Tomies mountains. We continue along the shoreline through a delightful woodland glade until we come across the magnificent manor, Muckross House.
After an included lunch in the manor's Garden Restaurant, we have the choice of enjoying a stroll through magnificent displays of ornamental shrubs, flower beds, and wide expanses of manicured lawns, or continuing with a walk around Muckross Lake. This walk takes us through ancient woodlands, over Brickeen Bridge, and across Dinish Island to the Meeting of the Waters and the Old Weir Bridge. All the while, we are surrounded by wonderful views, small lakeside beaches and rocky coves.
We then meet our bus and drive to our hotel in Killarney—our home for the next three nights—collecting non-walkers at Muckross House on the way.
After some free time to settle in, we'll get to know our fellow travelers and Trip Leaders better during a welcome reception and dinner this evening.
After breakfast, we transfer to Kate Kearney's Cottage, the site where the legendary 19th-century beauty made and sold an illicit brew "very fierce and wild, requiring not less than seven times its own quantity of water to tame and subdue it." Now a popular shop and pub, it's also the starting point for today's walk, which takes us up a steady paved incline and through a spectacular glacial valley, known as the Gap of Dunloe. Our trail parallels a mountain stream over rugged terrain lined with massive boulders, until we reach the pass between Macgillycuddy's Reeks—Ireland's tallest mountain range, at 3,414 feet—and the Purple Mountains. Then we descend into the Black Valley. Throughout our journey, we'll have a horse-drawn jaunting cart at the ready for those who want a break.
A lakeside picnic awaits us at Lord Brandon's Cottage. From here, we board open boats and cruise to Ross Castle, a 15th-century tower house, as our boatmen regale us with tales of Napolean, King Brian Boru and others who've passed this way.
This evening, shuttle into Killarney for dinner on your own. You'll also have the opportunity to mingle with locals over a pint of Guinness in one of Killarney's lively pubs.
Today's walk brings us to the northern part of the Kerry Peninsula. After a short drive, our bus will leave us at the trailhead—a quiet, paved country road circling Seefin Mountain. As we walk, enjoy spectacular views over Lough Caragh. At the end of the road, you have the option of rejoining the minibus and meeting the group in Glenbeigh, or walking to Glenbeigh up the mountain on a footpath through Windy Gap. This path is part of the Kerry Way, a 135-mile walking route over old droving paths and coach roads.
Upon reaching Glenbeigh, enjoy free time for lunch on your own in this quaint town.
After lunch, you have two options: You can shuttle two miles to Rossbehy Creek and take a short walk along White Strand, a beautiful sandy beach on a small peninsula stretching into Dingle Bay. Or you can walk along the banks of River Behy and follow the Kerry Way through the sloped woods of Curra Hill, then shuttle down to Rossbehy Beach.
Tonight, before an included dinner, we meet Denis Kissane, a local friend who will give a nostalgic presentation on his childhood in "The Old Bohareen."
After breakfast, pack your luggage, as we depart Killarney today for Kenmare. First, though, we take a very short drive to Castle Ross Hotel, for a walk in Killarney's beautiful parklands. You can stop at Killarney Cathedral, then venture into town for shopping, or join our Trip Leaders for a walk around Ross Island. More of a peninsula than an island, Ross Island is heavily wooded with a network of paths leading to attractive viewpoints overlooking Lough Leane. Also visible are remains of former copper mines, some dating back 4,000 years to the prehistoric Bronze Age, and others from the 19th century.
After free time for lunch in Killarney, we visit our newfound friend, Denis Kissane, who has invited us to see both his childhood home (featured in his talk yesterday evening), and his current home, where he will entertain us over tea or coffee and freshly-made scones. Afterward, we continue to Kenmare.
Tonight is free for you to explore the town, a four-minute walk away along a footpath directly opposite the hotel. Dinner is on your own.
After a leisurely start to our morning, we explore Kenmare Market, where vendors sell everything from cheese and soda bread to antique tools. Afterward we shuttle 15 miles to Gleninchaquin Park, located at the end of a beautiful valley. Here we meet the park's custodians, Peggy and Donal Corkery, whose ancestors have lived in the valley for more than 130 years. Then choose from a variety of walks, from gentle farm or river strolls to a more challenging walk above a 448-foot waterfall (well worth the effort for the amazing views!). Make sure you visit the Heritage Site to see the reconstructed 19th-century cottage that was typical in this area.
After leaving the park, we drive to a nearby pier overlooking Kenmare Bay to enjoy a special lunch of freshly-prepared Irish salmon.
This afternoon, we shuttle back to Kenmare, where you'll have free time to experience this pretty town on your own. Choose from among Kenmare's many pubs or restaurants for dinner on your own this evening.
Today the scenery is spectacular as we walk along the southwestern section of the Kerry Way, with views of tiny islands, towering cliffs, and some of the finest beaches in Europe.
For those who would like a slightly more challenging option, our morning trailhead begins along a single-track road. We follow this path along another section of the Kerry Way, known to the locals as the Old Butter Road. This leads us along farm tracks and then into open moorland. There is a slight incline before we drop down into Caherdaniel, where we're met with one of the best views in Ireland, overlooking Derrynane Bay.
Once in Caherdaniel, a pretty coastal village on the bay's shores, we transfer by bus to Derrynane House. The ancestral home of Daniel O'Connell, one of Ireland's leading historical figures, Derrynane House today is a public museum.
If you'd prefer the easier option, you may shuttle directly to Derrynane Bay and enjoy a lovely walk with one of our Trip Leaders across to Abbey Island. Here we'll view the remains of a tenth-century abbey and a local cemetery.
We all meet for an included lunch in the café at Derrynane House, followed by a tour of the museum. Derrynane House is furnished with a variety of items belonging to Daniel O'Connell, including the dueling pistol he used to kill rival John D'Esterre in 1815, the black glove he wore in remembrance of that day and the fabulous gold chariot he rode through Dublin to greet jubilant crowds upon his release from prison. A video presentation outlines the life and times of the man known as the Great Liberator.
You'll also have time at leisure here to explore the gardens behind the house, walk around the Derrynane Dunes nature trail, or simply relax on one of the most beautiful beaches in the country, with more than a mile of golden sand. We'll regroup at the Keatings Bar, a cozy pub located in a small room in a private house. After an included drink, we shuttle back to Kenmare.
This evening, we enjoy a farewell dinner in our hotel and bid goodbye to our VBT Leaders.
VBT No-Air Package guests: Our tour finishes at the hotel after breakfast. The hotel will help you book a taxi, at your own expense, to either Killarney railway station (approximately 60 euros/$90 USD; travel time approximately 50 minutes), Cork Airport (approximately 150 euros/$225 USD; travel time approximately 2 hours), or Shannon Airport (approximately 250 euros/$375 USD; travel time approximately 3 hours).
VBT Air Package and Post-Trip Extension guests: Transfer by private motorcoach to the medieval town of Kinsale. It has an abundance of traditional bars and restaurants, beautiful buildings, narrow streets, shops and galleries and a pretty harbor area.
Once you arrive in Kinsale settle in and have lunch, before meeting a local guide andenjoy a walking tour explaining the colorful story of Kinsale down the ages from Medieval walled town to the sinking of the Lusitania. The remainder of the day is free for you to explore this quaint town on your own. VBT provides you with City Information in your Final Travel Booklet that includes recommendations about what to see and do in Kinsale.
Kinsale has been seasoned liberally by Norman, Spanish and English influences since medieval times, but nowadays most of the seasoning takes place in the numerous fine restaurants that make this the "Gourmet Capital of Ireland." Kinsale is also a yachting center (hence its reputation for great seafood!).
After breakfast, transfer to the Cork airport for your return flight.
*Please note: For guests with early-morning departures, full breakfast at the hotel may not be available, in which case a cold tray can be delivered to your room. Please check with the front desk to verify the times when breakfast is served and to arrange for your cold tray, if necessary.
**VBT transfer times and departure points are finalized in advance and cannot be modified for individual guests. If you extend your stay beyond the scheduled program dates, return transportation to the airport is at your own expense.

Anyone else into this?
My friend just pointed out www.sportsbook.com and am afraid I might get too addicted.
They got the Vikings at over or under 8 wins so I'll be putting down maybe $100 or so on that (over, of course).
Another thing I might do instead is bet AGAINST the vikings.
Yes, I'd rather they win, but if they are not victorious, at least I'll not be TOO unhappy.
I Love Kerry Collins (and John Rocker).
Re: Sports betting
OK, yes, it can get very addicting...win or lose.
When you win you want to win more and when you lose you want to get your money back.
It's just a crazy cycle.
Couple of pointers:
- Never bet more than you can afford to lose
- Keep it fun.
Keep track of your wins and losses and try to "make a name for yourself" and no one else.
- Find a fun place like wagerline.com to go to and that way no money is really involved, but you can still "try your hand" and it keeps up with your wins and losses and does involve some online "money" so you know how much you would have won or lost with your picks.
As for the Vikings...I NEVER bet one way or the other on them.
In my opinion, when you have a team close to your heart, you can't look at it logically and you have to go with your head more in these things...makes losing a little easier.
Keep in mind that ever since a few weeks ago, there were other online books, but they busted one guy who owned like 8 of them.
He got cocky and came into the US and now he's in jail and the books are all down...guess where the money people played is...some offshore account being confiscated by the US government.
It just can get really risky.
Trust me, I know.
Until next time...Gene Ramsay

No. 4 Wildcats erase 18-point deficit, advance to NIT championship
Originally published: Nov 27, 2013 - 8:24 pm
The fourth-ranked Wildcats were down 27-8 to Drexel with 7 minutes left in the first half Wednesday night. They closed the deficit to nine at halftime and then went on to much tougher than expected 66-62 victory.
"I think the story line for this game may be that Arizona was overlooking Drexel but that's the furthest thing from the truth," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "We watched every tape and invested a lot of time and it became apparent to me we were in for a handful."
It was a lot more than a handful early.
Nick Johnson scored 20 points and freshman Aaron Gordon had 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Wildcats, who used a 25-4 run spanning halftime to wipe out the 19-point deficit and take their first lead of the game, 33-31 on a basket by Brandon Ashley with 16:11 to play.
That was the first of 11 lead changes in a span of 8 1-2 minutes as the Dragons stayed around a lot longer than most thought they would.
"Down 19 points is a pretty good lesson right there," Miller said. "We were on the verge of getting blown out. In the second half we shared the ball and we were patient. That's what we did in the second half."
The Wildcats (6-0) will face the winner of the No. 6 Duke-Alabama semifinal on Friday night for the championship at Madison Square Garden.
"We're a program that has come to expect success in tournaments and we know we have to play better in the championship game but we're looking forward to the opportunity," Miller said,
Kaleb Tarczewski had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Arizona, which shot 46.7 percent in the second half (14 of 30) after shooting 26.1 percent (6 of 23) in the first half.
"We kind of came out flat in the first half but we wanted to come out strong in the second half," Tarczewski said. "Our guards did a great job of getting me the ball. I missed some shots early but they did a good job."
Chris Fouch led Drexel with 29 points on 11-of-27 shooting and Frantz Massenat added 17.
Drexel (3-2) had the start double-digit underdogs can only dream of. The Dragons scored the first nine points of the game and combined their hot start from the field with Arizona's miss after miss to take a 27-8 lead with 7 minutes to go in the first half.
Drexel made 11 of its first 21 shots from the field in taking the 19-point lead while the Wildcats started 3 of 17 and they uncharacteristically didn't take care of the ball.
They finished the half with 10 turnovers, their average for a game this season. They finished with 14.
Even though Drexel cooled off � the Dragons missed 10 straight shots after the hot start � the closest Arizona could get was 27-19 on an 11-0 run in which Johnson had six points.
The Dragons led 29-20 at halftime, the first time this season Arizona was behind after 20 minutes.
"They must have come out in thinking we weren't that good but we punched them right in the face," Fouch said. "'We knew they were going throw punches back and we had to take them."
Arizona, which came in averaging 84 points a game, took the lead for good at 46-45 on a dunk by Tarczewski with 7:21 to play. The Wildcats finally opened some space by taking a 54-47 lead as Drexel continued to struggle with its shooting. The Dragons finished at 36.6 percent (26 of 71).
"I'm disappointed. We were up 19 and then didn't make the plays we needed to in the second half," Drexel coach Bruiser Flint said. "We had our opportunities. They're a good team and you knew they were going to make a run. In order for us to win these games we have to make plays. We didn't. We're good enough to make them but didn't."
Drexel came into the game with a 2-9 record against ranked teams under Flint and the highest ranked of the wins was No. 20 Louisville on Dec. 14, 2010.
Arizona came in with a 20-2 record in the NIT Season Tip-Off and its three championships were tied for second behind only Duke's four titles.
Drexel made one other appearance in the tournament and that was in 2005 when the Dragon also reached the semifinals where they lost to then-No. 1 Duke 78-68.

A large boa constrictor was found on Kent Road in Franklin Township Monday morning.
Portage County Dog Warden Jason Williard was called out to remove the snake.
When Williard arrived on the scene, he was surprised to see a Columbian Red Tail boa constrictor about 7-8 feet long!
Williard says the snake appeared in good condition and about six to eight years old.
The snake is not on the state list of exotic animals that require a permit.
The boa is now in a dog crate at the dog warden's shelter while Williard and the Portage County dog warden's office work on getting it rescued.

Twitter opens MySQL migration tool
'Crane' allows MySQL data integration in Hadoop.
At last week's Hadoop Summit, Twitter Analytics Lead Kevin Weil announced that it would open source Crane, its data migration tool used to move MySQL data into Hadoop.
Hadoop is used by Twitter to examine collected analytics as well as data crunching for live tools such as name search. Weil said that Twitter uses Scribe to log data into Hadoop and Crane to manage tabular data.
Crane moves MySQL data to the Hadoop filesystem (HDFS), Hbase, another Hadoop-compatible database, Flock, Google Analytics, or Facebook Insights.
Twitter opens MySQL migration tool'Crane' allows MySQL data integration in Hadoop. Should you think that the title of this post is useful, odds are you are considering about using Linux as your primary or even just an alternative Os when you're just sick of your old system. However many think that Linux is too complicated that it appeals only to geeks, Linux-magazine.com can prove that this great operating system is actually for everyone. It is often fascinating to read about Twitter opens MySQL migration tool.

4.22/5 rDev +16.9%
Pours a golden yellow with a thick white head which leaves nice lacing down the glass. Malt and floral hops in the nose. Lovely and simple floral hop bitterness perfectly balanced with the malt. Not overly complex but a very very nice session bitter. Heavy and creamy mouthfeel from the cask conditioning. This is a very tasty bitter and one of my favourite Scottish session beers. Sadly, it has limited availability, but well worth seeking out.

Modest starting starting head but it leaves a blanket of dropping from a ring of lace after each sip. Light haze--golden color
More malt than hop to the nose.
Raw "green" hop flavor, but well balanced with a solid malt base. Full bodied with a below average carbonation. Creamy. Aftertaste is also well balanced with just a little more peppery hop bite.

Drunk 23/0612 with Don at the Bow Bar.
Not yellow but more medium gold in colour.Reasonable whisps of white head with a nose of presence and some poise.
In the mouth this it soon becomes obvious that its many sides are so well integrated supporting with a firm core of some presence. This contance follows throughout the palate and while there is some compromise in complexity after a muted pause there is a stronger echo of aftertaste.
IMHO an all too often underappreciated beer.

Served in a pint glass.
A: Clearish, gold-amber, with a light head. A bit...dull. (Not boring, but lustreless.)
S: Flat and neutral, with some smell around the edges that I recognise but can't pin down.
T: Odd, but good. Sweet, fruity cream with a touch of citrus. The aftertaste is less than ideal, but not detrimental. Strange...but nice.
M: Smooth, but with a weird afterfeel.
D: I enjoyed it and would drink it again.

I enjoyed a recent pint of this in the Pot Still, Hope Street, Glasgow. An excellent pub, mainly noted for it's vast variety of whisky but has 4 real ale pumps.
The beer poured a light golden colour with a thick slightly off white head, that displayed good retention.
The nose was dominated of malts, citrus fruits, berries and floral hops. Rather pleasant, fresh smell.
These fragrences transfered through to the taste, however the floral hops dominated a bit too much for my liking, leaving a taste that resembled perfume. The berries, citrus fruits and malts were still there but took a back seat to the floral hops. Disapointing given the pleasant nose.
The thick mouthfeel was typical of a good Scottish beer. yet at the same time it maintained the refreshing feeling of a summer beer.
For me it had the body and mouthfeel to be very drinkable, however the dominance of floral hops meant that one was enough for me. But this style of beer has fans and this is one the the best I have sampled from the floral beer range.

500ml Bottle from Aldi Supermarket, Scotland (£1.99):
Very light & clear amber, almost watery with a 0.5cm head that's foamy & frothy before disappearing almost completely.
Subtle earthy malts & sweetness, vanilla & butterscotch with background fruits, burnt sugar & hints of floral too but the sweetness seems to dominate with a little help from the light malts & touches of bitterness.
Citrus & lemon initially, sweetness follows with vanilla too. The aftertaste is very strange with some smoky flavours coming through that aren't all that dissimilar to that of a rauchbier. This one was all over the place really & other than the sweetness at the start it wasn't a good one at all.
Light to light-medium in body, it's a fairly smooth beer with a slight citrus tang and the smoky/sweet aftertaste was weird to say the least, with a lingering & smoky feel right at the end as well.
Another beer I picked up in Aldi that was a little all over the place, this one with a poor beer but had a pleasant smell; the taste definitely let this one down in a big way.

Half pint on cask at 'sppons in Dumbarton. Pale straw coloured beer with a slightly green hue and a white head. There wasn't much of a nose apparent, just a hint of lemon. It starts rather acidic and woody, reminding me of rhubarb, with an accompanying caramel flavour. Then it becomes more lemony with slight cask earthiness. Towards the end of my half pint an interesting floral hose water aspect becomes apparent. Not really sure what to make of this.

Projects division recently completed the specialist supply and installation of gallery lighting for London's Natural History Museum's new T. rex: The Killer Question exhibition.
The exhibition bases its killer question on new scientific evidence which suggests the T. rex may not have been capable of killing for food at all, but that it relied on prey already killed and partly devoured by other predatory dinosaurs. Visitors are given the chance to compare the T. rex as a red-faced scavenger with the more familiar roaring, predatory T. rex to make their own decision about how T. rex lived.
A.C. were awarded the contract after supplying a very cost-effective solution which required minimal upgrading of the existing gallery fixtures to accomplish all theatrical lighting aspects of the brief.
Throughout the build, project manager Ray Dolby worked closely with the exhibition's designer, Trista Quenzer, to ensure that the lighting brought the right atmosphere and dramatic feel to each particular scene.
Effects used included patterned gobos to give static model displays a theatrical feel and enhance their minimal scenery. Timed lighting sequences were also used to help reveal information and unfold the story. Directional uplighting of skeleton bone structures was used to create eerie shadowing effects on the surrounding surfaces and to emphasise size differences between dinosaur species. For animatronic models providing their own dynamism, strong shadows and color were used to enhance the menacing and gorey aspects of these scenes.
Trista Quenzer, the exhibition's designer, commented "I am extremely pleased with the result in the exhibition. Ray Dolby came up with a realistic solution to my brief and imaginatively used a limited budget. The A.C. team were a very professional, friendly group who worked with us to a tight installation deadline. They were always willing to demonstrate different fittings and experiment to achieve the effects I required."

Robert Griffin III scrambled toward the sideline and flung a pass to wide receiver Pierre Garcon for a simple incomplete pass. No big deal, right?
Wrong. The damage was done, the extent may not be known for at least a year, if not longer.
After Griffin fell to the ground with his knee buckled, he removed his helmet. It was obvious he was in pain. Griffin got to his feet, and limped back to the huddle.
At this time my iPhone vibrated. It was a phone call from my dad. He was watching the same game from his basement in Valparaiso. He had a prediction that seems so logical now.
"He (Griffin) won't finish this game," he said.
The next play, Griffin threw his second touchdown of the first quarter, and Washington was close to running the Seahawks out of Fedex Field.
We all know what happened next. Griffin struggled mightily to get any offensive rhythm going, as he and the Washington offense totaled 41 total yards in the next two and a half quarters.
Griffin would tear his ACL and LCL while getting sacked by Seattle rookie linebacker Bruce Irvin, and left the game after the next play when his right knee bent the wrong way in gruesome fashion.
Following the game, analysts from ESPN and NFL Network said it was dumb to second guess Washington coach Mike Shanahan's decision to leave Griffin in, except it's not second guessing.
If you were on Twitter during the game, you could see countless media members, and non-members wondering why RG3 was still out there risking serious injury. I¹m not naive enough to not realize that a torn ACL is 100 percent avoidable, but in this instance, it seemed inevitable. Shanahan is not alone in blame for the Griffin injury.
RG3 knows his own body better than anyone, he knew he wasn't even close to being healthy, and he clearly bought into all the hype.
He thought he was invincible. This was clear as day, when postgame he said he gave the team the best chance to win while he was hobbled. No, Robert you didn't.
Shanahan is a two-time Super Bowl champion, and he should know better. What was the cost of going to back up Kirk Cousins? Shanahan was afraid of the wrath of his rookie quarterback, who said he would have been very upset if his coach would have pulled him from the first playoff game of his career.
Shanahan must be in control, or this won't work.
In the days leading up to last April¹s NFL Draft, the debate was who was better long term, Andrew Luck or Griffin.
The consensus was that a running quarterback like Griffin with a small body size would get hurt if he ran consistently in the NFL.
Nine months later that has been proven correct.
Griffin ran 120 times this season, and suffered a concussion, the second in as many years, and a sustained a torn ACL, his second in four years.
There's a reason there are young running quarterbacks, and not any old running quarterbacks.
Who knows how Griffin will look when he comes back from knee surgery, but what is clear is that the decision making of Griffin and Shanahan might have permanently altered the great trajectory of the Redskins going forward.
My father, a commodity trader, and thousands of others could see Griffin was a knee injury waiting to happen, why couldn¹t a veteran head coach with two Super Bowl rings?
The decision could define the Redskins for the next decade.

Carb ???
My cub will run great as long as I keep the choke closed a little, but when I open it all the way the engine starts cutting out. I have the float level set correctly and the carb has had a rebuild kit installed? Need advice!
It has to be one of two things. Either not enough fuel is getting to the carb, or too much air is getting to it.
You said you put a kit in the carb. You may need to clean it well like maybe soaking overnight in carb cleaner. Also, make sure the main jet is clean. Check the screen at the fuel line input and the flow from the tank. The excess air could come from poor gasket fit at the carb / manifold, or a leak somewhere in the manifold. You can rule out this by taking an unlit propane torch and moving the tip around anywhere air might get into the system. If the engine smooths out, you've found your leak.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
You can also raise the float a little to see if that helps.

I had similar problems with my loboy. The problem was fuel flow from the tank thru the sediment bowl. Take the fuel line off the top of the carb and hold it over a coffee can or equiv. Then open the fuel valve at the sed bowl. It should really come out good. If it doesn't; or it slows down after a couple of seconds; there's something going on there. Mine had the screen missing(bout the size of a half-dollar) and gunk in the tank was clogging up the sediment bowl orifice and then also the main jet, which is only about .038" in diameter. I purchased a new one and have not had that problem since. Also, that your sediment bowl looks full is not a sure sign of proper fuel flow. Good luck.
Forgot to mention a couple of other things I remember from previous posts: If you have an INLINE filter it may be clogged and resisting the fuel flow.....and I remember a post about some types of fuel filters meant for pressurized systems will prevent proper fuel flow with the Cub's gravity feed system.
Thanks Marion (57 Loboy) and Bigdog for the info.
I think I've isolated some of my carb problems. First the fuel bowl had no screen at all and a inline filter has been added between the bowl and the carb. I disconnected the gas line from the carb and opened the fuel shut off valve on the bowl assembly. The fuel flow was some what weak. I'm going to purchase the screen for the bowl and remove the inline filter.
Thanks WCOX410

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne has pleaded not guilty to a hit & run charge stemming from a minor accident.
Horne was scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Phoenix Municipal Court but his lawyer entered Horne's plea on his behalf several days earlier.
Horne is accused of 1 count of leaving the scene of a collision/unattended vehicle, a class three misdemeanor.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery announced Oct. 1 that an FBI investigation into campaign finance matters involving Horne unearthed information about a hit & run accident.
Horne was cited following a Phoenix police investigation.
Horne says he didn't leave his name and address because he didn't see any damage after he backed into a vehicle in a parking garage.
FBI agents who had Horne under surveillance witnessed the accident.
