LOUISVILLE, Ky. — As Kentucky Kingdom wraps up its 2014 season, the park's management team is pleased with the solid results for this first year, but spends little time looking over its shoulder, announcing that "More Rides, More Water, More Hours, and More Fun" are on the way for 2015.
According to Ed Hart, Kentucky Kingdom's President and CEO, "Our guests have demonstrated their support throughout the 2014 season. Now it's time for us to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to everyone who's made Kentucky Kingdom their family's new place to play." Hart added, "Throughout the season, our guests told us they love the expanded water park, but would like more time to visit. Guests also asked us if we had plans to add more rides to the theme park. Let me sum up our response by saying next season is all about "more rides, more water, more hours, and more fun!"
The operating calendar for Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay will increase from 94 days in 2014 to 110 days in 2015 and the park will operate for longer hours on weekdays.
But the really big news is the park's announcement of the biggest reinvestment in Kentucky Kingdom's history. For 2015, the park will add five new marquee attractions worth more than $30 million:
- T3 — Terror to the Third Power. Originally T2, North America's first Vekoma suspended looping coaster will be refurbished with new trains, a new look, and new ride experience.
- Cyclos — A Zamperla swinging pendulum ride with a rotating platform that does a full 360-degree swing.
- SkyChaser — A 130-foot-tall rotating swing ride manufactured by ARM Rides.
- Raging Rapids River Ride — return of the 1999 Intamin river rapids ride.
- Enterprise — return of the popular Huss Enterprise.
AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands — Over the three day period September 23 to 25, 2014, the Euro Attractions Show (EAS) realized the highest number of exhibitors, the largest amount of exhibit space, and a record attendance by visitors. It is the largest trade show for the attractions industry in Europe and this edition in Amsterdam has been the most successful in the event's 11-year history.
EAS is organized by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) and rotates every year over different European countries. IAAPA Vice President of European Operations, Karen Staley said: "Again Amsterdam has proven to be the right place for our show. With numerous projects going on in the northwest part of Europe and with a strong and dynamic industry in the Benelux-region, we had high expectations but these figures are really extraordinary."
Preliminary counts show that about 10.750 visitors came to the event this year. In comparison to EAS 2013 in Paris this is an increase of 26 percent. The visitors came from more than one hundred countries and about a third came from The Netherlands. This year organizers noted a substantial increase of managers from campgrounds, shopping centres, and family entertainment centres. A record 441 companies from 36 countries showcased their latest products, including roller coasters, attractions, ticket and access systems, 3-D movies, games, and much more. The growth in guest interactivity and the combinations of different technologies in one attraction are some important trends featured among the products exhibited at this year's show.
NASHUA, N.H. — Robert J. "Bob" Goldsack, 82, of Nashua, passed away Wednesday morning, August 13, 2014 at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua. Born and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, he was the son of Robert and Marguerite Goldsack. He graduated from Plainfield High School where his fellow students elected him President of his 1949 Senior Class. A graduate of Seton Hall University, Mr. Goldsack started as a copy boy and worked his way up to advertising director of the Courier-News, a one time 60,000 circulation daily Gannett newspaper in Plainfield-Bridgewater, New Jersey. While employed at The Courier-News, Bob graduated from the Newspaper Advertising Executives Management course at Columbia University in New York City and served as Chairman of the New Jersey Press Association in 1971. He was also very active in the Retail Trades Division of the Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce, the National Retailers Association and Plainfield Jaycees. From 1962 through 1969, he and a partner owned the New Jersey Red Oaks, a very successful on the field and at the ticket office, Semi Pro football team. After 25 years with the Courier-News, Bob joined the Corporate Staff of the Thomson Newspaper chain as a consultant to the many daily newspapers owned by that corporation throughout the United States. He and his family moved to Nashua in 1978.
Mr. Goldsack accepted a position as Regional Manager of Metro Creative Graphics, a company that furnishes art work and advertising ideas to newspapers throughout the country. His territory consisted of all six New England States, New York and New Jersey. During the Korean War, he served aboard aircraft carriers during a four year Navy hitch. He was awarded the United States Korean Service Medal, United Nations Korean Medal, American Defense Medal, Good Conduct Medal and the South Korean Government's Commerative Medal. Following the Korean War, he was involved in supplying aircraft to the French in French Indo China, which later became Vietnam. In 1953, Bob married the love of his life, Joan Stevens, a classmate from grammar and high school, who passed away in January 2008, after 54 years of marriage. They were the parents of nine children. In Nashua, Mr. Goldsack has served as a substitute teacher in the middle and high schools for 16 years. He served several terms as a director of the Nashua Historical Society and as assistant treasurer of that organization. He was a parishioner of the Parish of the Resurrection for the past 36 years. A lifetime historian and writer documenting the outdoor entertainment business, his first book The World of Mirth was published in 1984. Fourteen more books followed that including Remembering Benson's Wild Animal Farm; A History of New England Amusement Parks; Those Big and Colorful Railroad Carnivals; A History of the Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus; and Behind the Scenes at the Eastern States Exposition – The Big E. In 2010, he produced an updated book on Benson's Wild Animal Farm for Arcadia Publishing. Mr. Goldsack also published his own quarterly magazine "Midway Journal Illustrated" from 1996 through 2000, and was then hired by the Circus Fans of America to serve as editor and publisher of The White Tops, the organization's bimonthly magazine. He retired from that position in 2006. For five straight years he was commissioned to write a two page historical story for "Midway Marquee," the Outdoor Amusement Business Association's yearbook and was often hired to write articles for various publications. He also worked as a consultant for many show business projects and gave talks throughout the country, regarding the subjects of his books and the outdoor entertainment industry in general. He also presented several courses at Rivier College for the RISE Program. His memberships in amusement organizations included the Outdoor Amusement Business Association; Showmen's Club of Gibsonton, Fla.; Showmen's Club of Sarasota, FL; Circus Model Builders Society; Carnival Historical Society; Caroussel Historical Society; and was very active in raising funds to build and open the Showmen's Museum in Gibsonton, Fla. He was also a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the Korean War Veterans Association. An avid traveler, Bob and his wife toured Europe three times, steamboated several times on the Mississippi (1990) and Ohio (1993) Rivers and spent time in every state except North Dakota.
Robert was predeceased by his wife Joan and son Garrett.
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, United Kingdom — Mike Anderson, well-known throughout the amusement and theme park industry as part of the Interlink team, passed away at the end of August.
Anderson began his career in the industry somewhat by default after he was asked to build a monorail for the UK park Flamingoland in North Yorkshire in 1983. In that same year he founded ride manufacturer Mimafab Ltd. and subsequently went on to work for Interlink in 1986/87.
Anderson's particular areas of expertise were in engineering and fabrication, in particular with water based leisure attractions, while he also had many years' experience in the operation of rides in parks. He managed Interlink's UK company, working as technical and commercial director, and was also responsible for the company's rides installation sub division. He celebrated his 70th. birthday on July 15.
SeaWorld San Diego hosts Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – In an awards' show hosted by SeaWorld San Diego, Amusement Today announced the winners of its prestigious 2014 Golden Ticket Awards, which are presented annually to the "Best of the Best" in the amusement industry. Calculated from an international poll conducted by Amusement Today, the Golden Ticket Awards are the results of a detailed survey that is sent to a database of experienced and well-traveled amusement park fans around the world – in balanced geographical regions – asking them to rate the "bests" in 25 categories.
The poll revealed some surprises. For the first time in the 17-year history of the Golden Ticket Awards there was a new winner for "Best Amusement Park" when Europa-Park in Rust, Germany, took top honors; 16-year perennial favorite Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, came in second place. And in a tight race for "Best Landscaping," Gilroy Gardens in Gilroy, Calif., came within one percent of the votes to nearly beat always-favored Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Va., for the first time ever.

Restored, 1925 Prior and Church car will be a jewel in museum collection.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The nearly ninety year journey from iconic roller coaster to a beachside Saloon is finally ending as a coveted piece of history in the National Roller Coaster Museum.
The Prior and Church car ironically sat in front of The Coaster Saloon in San Diego for many years after it was retired from service on Belmont Park's Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster.
The car will join an unrestored Prior and Church car from the Giant Dipper in the NRCMA collection. "We certainly want to thank San Diego Coaster Company, Belmont Park, John Renna owner of the Coaster Saloon, former members of the Save the Coaster committee and, of course, Dana Morgan, for the donation and the tireless hard work in preserving this beachfront icon of California and the amusement industry," NRCMA Chairman Gary Slade said.
Ongoing acquisition of artifacts like this one from Belmont Park and the Coaster Saloon, which include items from Cedar Point, Six Flags New Orleans, Knott's Berry Farm, Elitch Gardens, Circus Circus, Lakeside Park, Adventuredome, White Water Branson, Busch Gardens, AstroWorld, Morey's Piers and Adventure City forced the NRCMA to outgrow its current facility.
"We are always looking for facilities interested in our mobile or custom exhibits. In order to continue to acquire artifacts, we need the industry to support us and to help us expand. If we don't preserve our history for generations to come, it will be lost," Slade said.
ARLINGTON, Texas — The latest schedule for attendees of the Golden Ticket Awards, to be held September 5, 6 & 7, 2014, is now available as a PDF file. Attendees are encouraged to download the file to their smartphone for reference throughout the event. A paper copy of the schedule will also be available at the event check-in table.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — SeaWorld San Diego will host the 2014 Golden Ticket Awards on September 5, 6 and 7, 2014. Presented by trade newspaper Amusement Today, the private, three-day event for amusement industry professionals recognizes the "best of the best" in the amusement industry.
In addition to the Golden Ticket Awards ceremony at the Mission Bay Theater and dinner with Shamu, the three-day event includes a welcome reception, behind-the-scenes tour, and a fundraiser for the National Roller Coaster Museum at Belmont Park's Giant Dipper roller coaster. Guests will also have the opportunity to visit the U.S.S. Midway, SeaWorld Aquatica and the world-famous San Diego zoo.
Beginning shortly before 7:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on September 6, 2014, the public can watch the Golden Ticket Awards streaming live online at seaworldparks.com/en/seaworld-sandiego/pages/goldenticket.
The annual Golden Ticket Awards are the amusement industry's equivalent of the Oscars, with amusement park owners and managers, ride manufacturers, and other industry officials gathering to salute the industry's top parks. Winners were selected by amusement park enthusiasts, voting from around the world.
Host park SeaWorld San Diego is celebrating its 50th anniversary. For five decades, SeaWorld has surprised and amazed guests with unique entertainment, thrilling rides and up-close encounters with marine animals. The original SeaWorld park opened its gates for the first time in March 1964 on Mission Bay in San Diego.

SanDisk Extreme 240GB SSD with 24nm Toggle Mode Flash Review - Specifications, Pricing and Availability and PackagingWe've seen prototype SandForce drives on display with 24nm Toggle Mode flash for nearly a year, but SanDisk is the first partner to launch such a product.
Editor Note: After this article was published we learned that TRIM was not working on our test system at the time the Extreme 240GB was tested. A follow up article has been published with accurate benchmarks. Please read it here.
Specifications, Pricing and Availability
For most users, the manufacturing technology doesn't mean anything. Numbers like 550MB/s read speed mean more than 24nm die size. SanDisk started aligning themselves with SandForce several months ago when they released the Ultra, a SF-1200 based budget drive. The Extreme that we are looking at today is the successor and SanDisk's first SATA III SSD.
The SanDisk Extreme SSD is already available in 120GB and 240GB capacity sizes. Later this year SanDisk will release a massive 480GB model. The 240GB drive we are looking at today is capable of reading data at up to 550MB/s. The claimed write speed is 520MB/s. The read IOPS are quoted at just 33K, but the random write IOPS are an incredible 83K.
As we mentioned the 120GB and 240GB Extreme SSDs are already listed for sale. Newegg carries both capacity sizes and at very competitive prices. The 120GB Extreme is available at the time of writing for 169.99 and the 240GB drive we are looking at today is listed at 339.99.
The SanDisk Extreme SSD doesn't ship with an extravagant accessory package. You get a solid three year warranty and a lengthy documentation for the warranty in several languages, but that is about it. This should also allow SanDisk to play a pricing game if they choose to. We would like to see a desktop adapter bracket ship with the drive, but it didn't happen with this release.
The Packaging
SanDisk kept the red and black look with the Extreme. On the front of the package we get some general features associated with SSDs. SanDisk also shows the capacity size of the unit in the box on the front.
There isn't a whole lot of information on the back of the package and we were not able to find any performance metrics on the package anywhere. It looks like at one point SanDisk was going to show a comparison between their Extreme and a 7,200 RPM spinner. The package mentions "** As compared to a 7,200 RPM SATA 2.5 hard drive. Based on published specifications and SanDisk internal benchmarking tests." At some point a sticker may replace information at the top with some performance data.
On the inside we found the SanDisk Extreme inside an anti-static bag, pleased in a clear plastic shell and the Installation Guide / Warranty statement tucked behind the plastic shell.

illusion of houdini
BlackGinger teamed up with Shy the Sun to create a juicy 30" spot for Ribena, the blackcurrant flavoured soft drink.
The past campaigns have all involved the blackcurrant berries' willingness to become Ribena fruit juice and this was no different. The commercial unfolds revealing the long queue of berries are all eagerly awaiting their slingshot trip into the Ribena tractor trailer as the berry-band of guitar, drums, trumpet and double-bass completes the party vibe.
The background plates were "Forced-perspective" sets, created in four different scales from life size to 1/250th to give a great sense of scale and depth to the British country side. The Berry characters and their props, including the slingshot were modeled, rigged and animated in Autodesk Softimage. Textures were created in Photoshop and Zbrush while all the shaders, lighting and rendering was done using Side-Effects Softwares' Houdini and its physics based renderer Mantra. Final composite was done in Nuke and Flame to bring the sets to life by adding more elements on top of the miniature sets such as making the farmer's arm move and replacing the toy sheep with stock footage.

RideSafer® Travel Vest - the wearable booster seat alternative that's easy, safe, convenient and legal. The RideSafer® brings the seat belt down to fit the child, holding it properly in place on the child.
It's less bulky, lightweight and easier to store than a traditional booster seat – making traveling with kids easy.
Positions the seat belt properly on child Extremely lightweightAllows 3 properly restrained kids in one rowEasily used in all vehicle typesMakes traveling with kids age 3 and up easierEasily transfers from car to car = one vest per child instead of one seat per car
The RideSafer® Travel Vest is a remarkable alternative to bulky plastic booster seats that keeps your 3+ year old (30+ pound) child safe when riding in a car.
Because it is so convenient, many parents use it for their kids on an everyday basis. But some parents use it only when traveling, or when the child has to ride in a Taxi or another car that doesn't have a booster seat. It's your choice!
Talk about convenience – the RideSafer® Travel Vest lets you position 3 kids, properly restrained, in a row — eliminating the need to have a larger or an extra vehicle when 3 kids are involved.
When you have multiple cars or other caregivers driving your children, you need a car seat in each vehicle or you are moving the car seat from car to car and reinstalling it. With the RideSafer, the vest goes with the child and can easily hang from a hook at school. When your child carpools, you always know your child is riding safe.
The booster seat is used to help raise the child to fit the adult seat. But thanks to the RideSafer® Travel Vest, you can now bring the seat belt down to the fit the child, keeping the seat belt properly positioned on the child's body.
One of the main benefits of the RideSafer® Travel Vest is that it allows the child sit on the more comfortable vehicle seat, providing a lower center of mass, which has been shown to be safer for the child in the event of a crash.
An additional safety component of the RideSafer® vest is that its front contain energy absorbing foam spreads and dissipates the crash force energy across their whole chest as opposed to the 2" area where the seat belt crosses their body.
You'll ride with peace-of-mind when your kids are using the RideSafer® Travel Vest. It has been crash tested and meets or exceeds all crash test requirements for a child restraint system. You can even view the crash test videos on our website.
Crash tested Meets or exceeds all Federal Safety standards (FMVSS 213) Provides a low center of mass for added safety Keeps child safe in any vehicle!Lightweight and easy to use!Makes traveling with kids easy!
When we travel to Mexico, we take the RideSafer Travel Vest. We use it to get our girls safely from the airport to the hotel and back. We don't want to lug heavy car seats since we don't go off the property yet, of course, want the girls to be the safest possible on the shuttle ride. It works well for traveling in New York City as well when we need to jump in and out of taxis. It's a terrific and safe alternative!

So, I LOVE THIS CAR SEAT!!! Seriously. Its taken about a week for my son to be really and truly solo on it. AND he loves it too! Its so cool too because it can stay in the car with the latch on the back. A wonderful surprise was that cool book it came with! Super duper awesome!
Liza Mucheru Wisner, Competitor on The Apprentice in 2010
I use it when we travel mostly, and then it is a lifesaver during the school year as I carpool with 2 neighbors. It is such a great invention. I bought a vest for my younger daughter and a Bubble Bum for the older for a road trip. I'm planning on getting my older daughter a vest also. The Bubble Bum isn't comfortable for long rides. As far as cabs go, they are so easy. I just use the shoulder strap. I've never been comfortable "Brittanying" the kids in a cab and the vest is so easy to carry around if you have a large purse or backpack. It really is a godsend when in an urban setting. Even my parents can use it! lol!
Kristin K. ~ Mother
Just went on vacation with my 2 kids ages 4 & 6. We've tried renting and we've certainly tried carrying 2 seats in the past. I laughed quite a bit this vacation knowing I had 2 carseats in my carry-on! What a difference. Really took out the worry about what to do about seats for the kiddos and saved my back to boot! What a convenience!
William S. ~ Father
It took more than two years to determine what she was going to transition to when the time came. So far this solution has made me feel very good about not just her safety but her comfort. She doesn't have to sit in a plastic framed chair which was one of the main reasons I couldn't find a big kid car seat that truly satisfied me. I am happy I found your product. I am trying to spread the word. For those with 6-year-olds who think they are too big for boosters and car seats, I can't possibly imagine agreeing with a child's opinion when their safety is of utmost priority. With the vest she feels like she isn't so young up against her 13-year-old brother and his friends that might be piling in the car.
Dawn L. ~ Mother
Greg Durocher founded Safe Ride 4 Kids with his wife, Amie, and two close friends, Jeff and Stephanie Lobeck.

Sorry, MG. I was thinking in
Sorry, MG. I was thinking in terms of land. I don't actually believe all property is stolen, I was just saying to Faithkills, if all public property is stolen, so is all private property. I don't believe all public property is stolen, nor all private property. Theft is a legal definition, and the law does not define these things as theft. But if theft just means "taken at some point in all of history," then even your computer is the product of a past theft. The land it was manufactured on, the raw materials that went into it's production, the public roads it traveled over. It's a pointless exercise.
As for the difference between public and private domains, I don't define it, the law does. The difference would be who is the legal owner of the property and able to dispose of it, sell it, legally protect it with force in general from violation, etc etc.

Winter releases its grip on Superior
Superior Telegram
Winter is finally over. Superior shook off the last remnants of this year's long, cold, snowy season over the weekend.

As part of the Chamber's Snowpocalypse campaign, local residents and out-of-towners were encouraged to guess when the snow would finally leave Superior.

i'm building this asp.net application that require couple of subdomains. they will all share the same code base but i have separate .aspx for each subdomain in its own subfolder, as follows:
admin.domain.com -> domain.com/admin
user.domain.com -> domain.com/user
everything works great on my dev box (win7, iis 7.5) using the following rewrite rules:
<rule name="admin.domain.com" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^admin.domain.com$" />
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/images/" negate="true" />
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/handlers/" negate="true" />
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/aspnet_client/" negate="true" />
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/webservices/" negate="true" />
<add input="{URL}" pattern="\.axd$" negate="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="\admin\{R:0}" />
When i push my release over to production, which runs Win 2008 R1, on IIS 7.0 the rewrites break. I see that my
<form> tag in source of the page points to
action="admin/", whereas on 7.5 it points to root. So when i post my forms i get 404s, as there is no /admin subfolder per rewrites.
Is there anything i can do to remedy this? I would like to omit upgrading to R2 just to fix this. Can i upgrade URL Rewrite module alone? Can i fix this using different rewrite rule?
Any help is appreciated!

Christmas is a time for giving; we give gifts to our friends, our family and even ourselves, but what about those who are less fortunate?
When UCLan student Dominique Harrison-Bentzen was on her way home from a night out she realised that she'd lost her bank card and had no money to get home. When homeless Robbie stepped in to offer her his only change of £3 Dominique was left touched by the kind gesture especially as it came from someone who faces ignorance every day.
This seemingly random act of kindness is what inspired Dominique to help Robbie as she set out on a mission to find him. Whilst looking for him Dominique discovered that the random act of kindness wasn't so random after all as she learnt about his gestures for other people like returning lost wallets and offering his scarf to try and keep people warm.
After finding Robbie she learnt his story, having been homeless for 7 months he was left unable to find work as he has no permanent residence.
Dominique was determined to help and started a fund raising page urging people to sponsor her £3, in honour of the £3 Robbie offered to her, as she prepared to spend 24 hours living on the streets to help her understand the difficulties they face whilst helping Robbie find a home.
"It was one of the most worthwhile things I've ever done"
The fund raiser was a massive success and her original goal of £500 was blown out of the water after she raised over £32,000. The overwhelming response to the cause has led to Dominique creating a follow-up page entitled Continue Helping Robbie which has so far raised another £12,000.
Once the media picked up on Dominique's effort to repay Robbie's kindness awareness of the cause grew which even lead to technical difficulties on her donation page due to a reported "unusually high number of visitors".
Spending 24 hours on the streets is something that Dominique has described as "one of the most worthwhile things I've ever done" and whilst she's aware that 24 hours isn't a true reflection of what life is really like being homeless she told us that "having a small insight was definitely valuable."
During the fundraising she also volunteered at a soup kitchen which gave her the chance to meet many people and families who were in need. She said the volunteer work was an "eye opening experience" and the work the kitchen does has encouraged her to continue working with the cause in the coming year.
Whilst Robbie wishes to remain out of the media there's no denying that the fundraising has had a positive impact for him. Thanks to the donations he was able to stay in a safe and secure accommodation over the Christmas period whilst he prepares to move in to his permanent new home.
The volume of money raised looks set to have a wider impact too as Robbie suggested that anything that was donated over his target should be donated to the charities that helped him throughout his difficult times. Dominique also told us that she personally felt "it would be irresponsible to not help as many people as possible with the large amount that has been raised." and that the majority of donators are "passionate" about the idea.
Donating to charities is something that Dominique is taking seriously, taking suggestions from those who have donated and Robbie himself, and she is now seeking professional advice as she wants to ensure that everyone's donations are "handled in the most respectful and responsible way."

Thanks Father George and Catholic Online. Father cuts through the sexual nonsense with clarity and depth. God bless him!
This video answers a lot on sex and marriage and sins of the flesh. It is very difficult for the average person to accept. This is difficult from a female point of view, but I know it's the Truth. May God help us.
I wish to say too that now, having been reverted, I can see that a lot of the vanities and foolish acts we get involved in are linked to the sins we commit against family procreation. Without sufficient family connections, we can become easily attracted to sinful activities as we search to add meaning to our dull lives. Our world has strayed so far from God. Lord help Your Church. Help our Pope.

Will castor bean get rid of voles? If so I need some...
I am sick of the voles. Just started seeing them. Hubby wants me to poision them but I am afraid then I cannot plant any veggies in the area. However, I want these things gone....
I am so frustrated!
Anyway anyone know the best place to get castor bean seeds?
I will trade for them too.
I have
and some other things....
No. Castor beans will not get rid of voles. You need to get rid of the grubs. They are the larvae of Japanese Beetles. They live in the soil. Grubex is a product that claims not to harm earthworms. The chemical you want is imidicloprid. It will not kill earthworms or other beneficial insects, only grubs.
Karendee; I have a bunch of castor beans from last year. I planted very late (mid July?) after we've moved to the new house. One plant was incredible (this is the one I was telling evryone that this is a mutant marihuana plant) and I was able to collect seeds. I still have your address, I'll send you some. Doesn't matter if they work or not for volves (BTW, what are volves?) the plant is still very impressive... do you have any sprouts? I hope, after this weekend, finally, should be warmer and we should see some green babes. Anyway, spring is in the air....
Whoa....some misinformation going on here. Most VOLES are herbivores, diet consists of seeds, tubers, bulbs, conifer needles, bark, roots, small plants, some insects.
MOLES are grub eaters but they also LUV earthworms. I'm going to save you the details of how I know this, but it has something to do with a patient man, a sharp foresters hoe, a too hard swing at a moving mound of dirt that was a mole in the act of tunneling.
Poison baits don't work on moles, they don't eat bait. Killing grubs doesn't work on moles, you'd have to eliminate earthworms too and those are too valuable in our lawns and gardens.
Castor oil mixed with water and a soaking agent like soap, not plants or beans, makes for a very temporary repellent that 'sometimes' works short term...not very effective, and not effective here with our ample amount of rain.
Thanks for the info everyone! I did read that castor oil makes the voles (mouse like creature) run away. I guess they hate the smell of the casor oil or something.
adamark I would love some seeds!! Can I send you some zinnia seeds? I have many packs I bought last year and don't need them all. (I could at least send you some stamps)
I thought the castor plant was a long shot but I still want to grow it because it is such a neat plant! So big too...
I may just bite the bullet and call an exterminator. I hear they can pump gas into the tracks/holes and then kaboom...the voles/mouse looking things are gone. Kind of mean but I am SICK of them!!
Karen, try my mother's recipe for Mole Chaser Tonic:
1 1/2 Tbsp Tabasco sauce
1 Tbsp liquid dish soap
1 tsp chili powder
1 quart water
Mom kept the recipe up on the 'fridge with a magnet. Pour it down the holes. Voles/moles--neither likes the taste or the burning sensation. There were tunnels everywhere when I moved here but they've been gone for three or more years. Don't know if it was the tonic, the cat and dog hair I shoved down in the holes, the Cooper's hawk who lives in the trees behind my house or a combination of all three. All I know is they're gone and I haven't seen one in my yard or the next-door neighbor's since.
Good luck!!!
I did try the recipe you posted once. I did not apply enough though. As the snow melted I see damage in a lot of the grass area. I guess I am a little behind. they may have left the hole I poured it down then made new ones cause that area looks like they have not been through the hole in a while. However, they have spread out!
I bought a live trap (YUCK) and plan to try it too. I also got some of the animal urine to use to keep them and bunnies away from plants.
Next is the Orkin man, lol
Voles and moles both eat insects. The information I gave is from the Ag agent here in my county.
Louise Riotte recommended planting castor beans to discourage moles. She also claimed they would keep mosquitoes away. I know that to be false.
If I gave the wrong information, I apologize. However, both moles and voles eat insects although their diet does consist of herbaceous growth as well.
Please be careful if you choose to poison the vermin. Poisoned dying rodent can equal rat poisoned dog. Had a neighbor's dog die because he ate a sandwich I dropped in some ant poison when I was a kid, I felt rotten about that for a long time.
Karen, your beans are on the way along with a couple of other seeds. Good luck with those creatures - voles. I have plenty of bunnies - any idea what to do with them. I know the answer - fence, but I'm still hoping for some miracle remedy to keep them away from my flowers and veggies. BTW, is it even worth to try to plant some chards, lettuce etc with flowers. I kind of like the idea of mixing everything.
I have voles and possibly moles. I've seen the voles (mouse-like creatures) but I have loads of tunnels in the yard. So maybe that is a mole. Farm stores and big box home and garden stores have granules which are labeled non toxic and won't harm pets. You have to get the granules into the tunnels and water it in. My understanding is you water and do more granules going towards the end of your property lines, driving them away. To be honest, I did not want to fool with the watering part. There was also an earthworm-looking bait, it looked like a fake rubber earthworm, supposedly they eat it and it kills them. I didnt' want to use this becoz I have a small dog, and altho I don't think she would get into the tunnel and eat the earthworm bait, one never knows. And then poison bait not eaten will get into the environment. The next gizmos were solar-powered and battery-powered sonic emitters. The thing made a beep every 30 seconds, which I didn't like. So far I have decided not to intervene, becoz, while I have lots of tunnels, I don't see any plant damage, all my bulbs are up etc. So we are peacefully co-exisiting at the moment.
For bunnies try the fake animal urines (natures best is a brand) The bunnies think there is a predator there and they run away!
Thanks for the seeds!
Can I send you something?
Laurie, voles also make tunnels and a real big mess. We added some pee (hubby added for me, lol) and I have not seen much activity....
Karen: This may sound extreme, but have you thought of getting a cat? I got to the stage that you are with voles 2 years ago. They did massive damage to my vegetable garden and I was pissed! I also didn't want to use poisons, and traps are messy and also risk harming pets and other wildlife.
We have a barn and adopted 3 cats that stay outside (rescue organizations place barn cats). Vole damage last year: zero! As a bonus, the chipmunks vanished along with the squirrels, both of which were attracted to our birdfeeder. We're absolutely thrilled. I don't think our cats are actually killing all those voles, but I think their mere presence lets the critters know they aren't welcome here.
please don't use poison, it doesn't matter who it kills
I tried to put the link on here if it doesn't work just go to you tube and enter "vole trapping techniques" Quick and sure and all you get are the voles!
The voles here just seem to visit for the winter, I see their runs all over in the garden-last year I was so worried they would have eaten everything but when spring came and things started to grow I couldn't even tell where they had been feeding. I've probably just jinxed myself....
Here is a link that might be useful: vole trapping techniques

Oscar Wilde 370.
(photo credit:Sarony, Napoleon)
We can only speculate about whether Meir Dagan, ex-chief of Mossad (counterpart
to America's CIA), and Yuval Diskin, exchief of Shin Bet (counterpart to
America's FBI), are at all conversant with Oscar Wilde's
wit. Unfortunately, we've no way to evaluate their erudition. But on the
off chance that they're better- read than the average honcho, we might ponder
whether they subscribe to Wilde's insight that "the only thing worse than being
talked about is not being talked about."Wilde's dictum might go a long
way to accounting for Dagan's and Diskin's otherwise inscrutable gabbiness,
which might be no more than the product of an apparently uncontrollable urge to
generate headlines. This may be in keeping with a local penchant alluded to by
the colloquial Hebrew catchphrase for volubility: larutz lesaper lakhevreh. It
roughly translates to "run and tell your friends."But that may be no
more than an intricate ruse they want us to fall for. Their hypothetical
nothing-is-what-it-seems hoax could be in keeping with the Hebrew semi-slang idiom
hafuch al hafuch – literally "opposite on opposite"– i.e. not what you expect,
the opposite of what you assume, creating an impression that's the opposite of
what immediately looks likely.Both the above pearls of our insular
culture may contain some relevance to putting Dagan's and Diskin's spasms of
loquaciousness into some semblance of context.It may well be that both
our former top guns are giving vent to run-of-the-mill run-and-tell inclinations
so pervasive in our minuscule milieu. Most our ex-generals and other security
services higher-ups find it hard to find themselves out of the loop.Our
undersized arena bursts with an overabundance of posturing Napoleonic knock-offs
– cocky military types and prolific know-it-alls – who presume to exclusively
possess what it takes to dictate Israel's agenda.Hubris, testosterone,
bigheadedness, braggadocio and whatnot impel them to make noise hot on the heels
of their formal retirement. Paraphrasing Descartes, their motto appears to be "I
babble, therefore I am."But the "opposite-on-opposite" scenario is far
more appealing. Indeed, it's downright comforting to believe that Diskin and
Dagan are sophisticated performers in a carefully scripted plotline aimed at
swaying the whole world to accept the authenticity of the very facade against
which they ostensibly squeal at the top of their lungs. In other words, rather
than hawk sour grapes, they're in actual fact altruistic actors.It would
be reassuring to trust that these two aren't cast in the mold of assorted
self-important omniscients who proliferate in our puny provincial pond, where
they're prone to shoot off their mouths in the informal contest for which
proverbial rooster crows loudest.It's nice to imagine that the
proclivity to prattle is part of a grand cunning scheme, a clever disinformation
ploy to obfuscate, leave the enemy wondering, guessing and unsure, to throw the
whole watching world into a tizzy, to convince all and sundry that we're led by
a trigger-happy lot.The convoluted subtext is that, if not somehow
placated, we might nuke the neighborhood. This image could be essential
to induce fellow democracies to comprehend that something effective had better
be done about Iran because we're losing patience with the international
community's dalliance. The West's inaction is liable to force us to step into
the breach ourselves.Dagan and Diskin, obviously no novices in sly
stratagems, would be the wiliest choice to persuade the world to get on Iran's
case because otherwise the field would be left to Binyamin Netanyahu and Ehud
Barak, whom both exchiefs assiduously build up as a demented and dangerous
pair.In crafty collusion, the two Ds hype the scary factor of Bibi and
Barak (the two Bs).The supposed subterfuge might not be outlandishly
implausible, on condition we accept the premise that real life can be as
elaborately tricky as espionage yarns. Why else, we may be tempted to ask, would
the Ds choose this especially sensitive juncture for their frenzied verbal
regurgitation? By the scales of conspiracy theory devotees this cannot be
accidental timing. The Ds, moreover, were until recently the guardians of our
deepest national secrets. It's more than a little unexpected for them, of all
ex-hotshots, to blab in order to carp.Otherwise, how are they better
than Anat Kamm? For those who forgot, she's serving time for having duplicated
2,200 documents, while she worked in the OC Central Command's office as a young
conscript, hiding her haul, hanging on to it long after her discharge and
finally entrusting it all to Haaretz reporter Uri Blau who absconded with
it.True, the Ds didn't have to fiddle with computer files. But spilling
the beans is spilling the beans, the modus operandi notwithstanding. Even
staffers in private business firms must sign undertakings not to tattle about
confidential company data after their employment has ended.However, like
Kamm, the Ds glory in the pose of courageous whistle-blowers desperately
defending the public's right to know. Here too pseudo-moral narcissism is lauded
by this country's domineering left-leaning media as the epitome of politically
correct bon ton.Not only did the Ds, like Kamm, thumb their noses at
their elementary obligations, but their cheerleaders now tell us that, like her,
they did so out of conviction that they know best what's best for us.Yet
do they know better? Did they discover Gilad Schalit's whereabouts for five
years right under their noses? Did they foresee a smidgen of the upheaval
misnamed as the Arab Spring? Their list of failures or not-quite-successes is
too long to inspire uncritical adulation.We could kiss our national
interests goodbye if each member of our defense hierarchy – regardless of status
– were to decide that he/she is empowered to determine national policies and/or
subvert endeavors not to his/her liking. That may be precisely what assorted
varieties of leftist anarchists fervently desire. Their goal is to destabilize,
even abolish, all authority. To that end, the Ds, like Kamm a couple of years
ago, are an absolute boon.The spinmeisters embraced Kamm as a youthful
idealist purportedly entitled to impose upon Israel's democratic collective what
she deemed appropriate. These very spinmeisters now genuflect to the Ds'
professed professionalism.They wouldn't gripe without reason, we're
told. But why did the Ds conceal their mistrust of the Bs for so long? If they
were certain that we entrusted our government into inept hands, why didn't they
alert us earlier? Why did they keep working with incompetents for so long? Why
did they seek extended tenures and why did they accept them? Why didn't they
resign in protest in real time, which would have been the honorable move to
make? To grumble from the sidelines is too much like what many of us do in
Friday evening gossip and fix-the-world sessions. The Ds shouldn't be
automatically absolved of all ulterior motives. They provided no proof, only
innuendo. The fact that the insinuations in question came from ex-big
wheels hardly renders them infallible.The Ds don't know anything more
than their erstwhile bosses. The Ds had already briefed the Bs on
whatever intelligence they gathered. If the two twosomes are indeed at
loggerheads, it can only be over differing analyses of said
information. Here the Ds' opinion isn't necessarily superior. It's an
opinion.This is where things get dicey. Do the Ds really imply
that their opinion deserves to override that of members of a democratically
elected government? If so, they're in effect suggesting that spymasters should
by right and rank call the shots or at least instruct the voters how to cast
their ballots. How will the Ds react if Netanyahu is reelected? The Ds'
conceit, to resort to understatement, smells bad. The tendentious
commentators and talking heads who avidly boost the Ds need to think about the
ramifications of backing security chiefs over elected
representatives.Beyond this issue of elementary civic hygiene looms the
Iranian danger. If the tantalizing "opposite on opposite" twist of spy fiction
hasn't bizarrely manifested in this particular tawdry episode, then Dagan and
Diskin are actually pushing us into a military conflict with Iran – the very
conflict against which they rail.One of Netanyahu's and Barak's most
incontrovertible achievements is denting the indifference abroad to Iran's
machinations. To no small measure this was achieved by the threat of an Israeli
preemptive strike. Winning the ear of the US and the EU is utterly indispensable
at this point.Only concerted international action can replace an Israeli
attack. The international community will do nothing if it doubts our assessments
regarding Tehran or our determination to foil the ayatollahs.The Ds'
irresponsible nattering weakens Israel's cause overseas and thereby undermines
the likelihood that Iran's nuclear project can be defused without use of force.
The Ds' superfluous chatter jeopardizes the international coalition against
Iran, demoralizes Israelis and emboldens Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.Do
acclaimed experts like the Ds fail to understand this? Or has frustrated
ambition and cynicism blinded their judgment? If so, it's time for us all to pay
heed to two more of Wilde's peerless aphorisms: "Ambition is the last refuge of
failure" and "a cynic is one who knows the price of everything and the value of

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Bombers fall 26-20 to Argos, ending slim playoff hopes
And with that, it is now — mercifully — all over except for the crying. Oh, and an off-season reckoning that promises to be one for the ages.
Whatever designs the 2013 Winnipeg Blue Bombers retained about somehow sneaking into the CFL playoffs were formally extinguished at Investors Group Field Saturday afternoon with a 26-20 loss to the Toronto Argonauts.
The loss dropped the Bombers to 3-13 and means a Winnipeg franchise that plays in a league where six of the eight teams make the playoffs has now failed to qualify for the post-season in four of the last five years.
That is a damning statistic. But there is another statistic that speaks even louder to how hopeless this team has been the last few seasons — the Winnipeg Football Club has not won two games in a row since August, 2011 and with Saturday's loss — coming after a win in Montreal last week — are now 0-13 the week after a win.
Reckoning? Bring it.
A season in a series
The woeful season was neatly summarized in all its ineptitude in one three-play series late in the second quarter.
With Winnipeg trailing 20-3 but threatening on the Toronto 19-yard line, Bombers QB Max Hall hit slotback Cory Watson in the end zone with a perfect ball, but Watson dropped it.
One play later, Hall appeared to have Clarence Denmark wide open in the back of the end zone for another sure TD but Hall's pass, against all odds, hit the upright and bounced harmlessly to the ground.
And then, forced to settle for a 26-yard field-goal attempt, the Bombers even blew that as the ball slipped off the tee and holder Mike Renaud was forced to scramble and throw incomplete, giving the Argos the ball on downs.
It was a microcosm of the entire season:
Failure to do the simple things right? Tick.
Unlucky even when they did do something right? Tick.
Gross incompetence? — tick, tick, tick.
Finally some offence — and they still lose
The normally anemic Bombers offence erupted for 466 yards as QB Max Hall threw an eye-popping 50 times against Toronto, but it still wasn't enough in a game in which the Bombers spotted Toronto a 23-3 lead at halftime.
Winnipeg went on a 17-0 run in the second half to get within a field goal, but a late Toronto field goal and poor execution by the Bombers late in the fourth quarter sealed the win for Toronto.
All the little things add up
A botched field goal. A botched snap. A time-count violation. Five turnovers. Nine penalties for 99 yards.
In isolation, the Bombers could have probably overcome any one of those things and still won on this day against a team in Toronto that wasn't sharp on offence, defence or special teams.
But put all those problems together — as Winnipeg has so often this season — and the Bombers basically gift-wrapped an end to the two-game losing streak Toronto had on the go.
Home sweet... never mind
The Bombers have now lost seven of their first eight regular-season games at Investors Group Field — and it showed in all the empty seats masquerading as an announced crowd of 28,869.
Up next
The rules say the Bombers must play on and so play on they will, travelling to Toronto this week where they will play the Argos at Rogers Centre on Thursday in what will be Winnipeg's third game in 11 days.
The Bombers finish their season at home on Nov. 2 against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

What are the difference between practice marked ball at driving range and retail version.
My question is ball speed and spin rate...not whether you can play in tournament.
I've seen a lot of courses lately have range balls marked "PRACTICE." I'm thinking they are probably the same as the practice balls you can find in a store. But maybe not. Either way, they are going to be abused and beat pretty badly. Not to mention and time spent out in the elements. So you can be pretty certain they aren't going to perform as well as a new ball.
