Owners of the Honsinger Pond property want to change the designation to Industrial, General Commercial, and Resource Development. View Honsinger Pond in a larger map.
The CBJ assembly will hear an appeal of a Planning Commission decision to not amend the Comprehensive Plan Map. The appeal was filed by Bicknell, Inc., owners of the 83-acre Honsinger Pond property near the Juneau Airport.
The former gravel extraction site is now a popular spot for water fowl. The property is surrounded by Egan Drive to the north and south, and the Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge on the south and west
The site is currently designated as Resource Development in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Bicknell, Inc. requested an amendment to the Plan by changing the current designation to a mix of Industrial, General Commercial, and Resource Development.
The Planning Commission denied the request by Bicknell, Inc. at a hearing in April and issued a Notice of Decision in May. The appeal asks for the Planning Commission decision to be reversed and the amendment to the Plan approved.
At last night's regular meeting, the assembly voted to accept and hear the appeal. Assembly member Mary Becker will serve as presiding officer.

Associations among breeding birds and gambel oak in Southwestern ponderosa pine forests
Jentsch, Stephanie; Mannan, R. William; Dickson, Brett G.; Block, William M. 2008. Associations among breeding birds and gambel oak in Southwestern ponderosa pine forests. Journal of Wildlife Management. 72(4): 994-1000.
Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests with Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii) are associated with higher bird abundance and diversity than are ponderosa pine forests lacking Gambel oak. Little is known, however, about specific structural characteristics of Gambel oak trees, clumps, and stands that may be important to birds in ponderosa pine-Gambel oak (hereafter pine-oak) forests. We examined associations among breeding birds and structural characteristics of Gambel oak at a scale similar in size to individual bird territories in pine-oak forests in northern Arizona and western New Mexico, USA. Avian species richness and occurrence of some bird species were associated with specific growth forms of Gambel oak. Estimated probability of Virginia's warblers (Vermivora virginiae), black-headed grosbeaks (Pheucticus melanocephalus), and red-faced warblers (Cardellina rubrifrons) occurring at points increased with increasing density of pole-sized Gambel oak 7-15 cm in diameter at breast height. We also found evidence that large Gambel oak trees ( 23 cm dbh) were associated with increased occurrence of yellow-rumped warblers (Dendroica coronata) at points. Some avian associations with oak were influenced by characteristics of ponderosa pines. For example, bird species richness was positively associated with the abundance of large Gambel oak when density of large pine trees 23 cm in diameter at breast height was low. Because large oak trees are rare and their numbers are thought to be declining, efforts should be made to retain and promote growth of additional oaks in this size class. Forest management practices that maintain forest openings, such as prescribed burning, could promote growth of pole-sized Gambel oak, which appears important to some bird species in pine-oak forests.

Re: Neil Peart
The time changes in the Rush music and the odd patterns make it very hard to improvise in this music. There are also numerous sequences and animations incorporated into a Rush show that would make it impossible to improvise. I also must admit that some times it is fun to hear a band improvise but I've heard several bootlegs by some of the bands mentioned that IMO were not very impressive. I've never seen a Rush show (which I've done 13 times) or heard a live recording bootleg or otherwise by rush that wasnt amazing. See IMO the problem with improvising is that it can lead to Doodleing which IMO isnt really that awesome. The Song Remains the Same is a good example of a show that demonstrates Improv at a very high level. BTTM it certainly is your right not to like a drummer for this reason but IMO your missing out on some great music and drumming because of this. Nutha I strongly suggest you see Rush the next time they are around the last 4 times I've seen them they have played 3 plus hours of very high intensity music. See thats what amazes me so much about them theyre 50 plus years old and they jamm the donkey off for over 3 hours as much as I love a band like Tool which I really do the live show was only about an hour and a half.

Fantasy Flight takes Phoenix kids to 'see' Santa
PHOENIX -- Over the past two decades, thousands of underprivileged local children have stepped aboard their very first airplane ride to head to the North Pole.
In Phoenix, Capt. Bob Miller has flown the 45-minute United Fantasy Flights out of Sky Harbor, across Valley skies, and back to Terminal Two on another side of the airport.
The children step off to find Santa, his reindeer, and a whole bunch of other surprises waiting for them.
While the children may be more excited to see St. Nick, Miller is excited to see the children inspired.
"They get to learn that there's a big wide world out there on a real airplane, a real jet liner, and see the world from a different perspective," he said.
Over the years, Fantasy Flight has raised enough money to send the children back to school with fond memories and high hopes.
Recently, "We bought 40 e-Kindle readers for Concordia Charter school because they're lacking in technology," Miller said. "and, when the kids are lacking in technology, they're left behind."
The next Fantasy Flight takes off Dec. 6. While there are hundreds of volunteers who make it happen every year, Miller said there are costs for fuel, food, and school supplies.
To meet those needs, Miller and the crew will hold a fundraiser Oct. 17 at My Wine Cellar, from 6 to 7 p.m. Cost is $25 for wine and food. The shop is located at 5030 E. Warner Road in southeast Phoenix.

Sorry to have slightly different ideas, LDH. My suggestions: Use reducer bushing at the tank outlet to install a 3/4" hose barb, then install an inline filter to protect the pump and reel, then use 3/4 tubing to enter the pump.
On the outlet side you need a 3/4 inch pipe cross. Fluid enters one side. Opening 2 connects to the reel (you need a reducer to accomodate the half-inch reel hose.) Opening 3 connects to the pressure relief valve. Opening 4 connects to the bypass (agitation) hose which in turn tees into the tube downstream from the pressure relief valve. The bypass hose allows you to start with the pump not under load and allows you to direct all the output to the tank for agitation, when needed. You were planning on an agitation nozzle in the bottom of the tank, were you not?
Notice that the pump has a cast iron body--not recommended for Roundup, which is acidic, I guess, (probably short periods of time are OK. )
Notice that at factory new condition, at 150 lbs pressure you only get 5 gals per minute output, and it takes more power. Keep in mid you lose about 10 percent for each 100 feet due to friction in the hose.
Not all roller pumps use a pressure relief valve--maybe someone else can comment on whether or not one is needed. Perhaps you just need to close the agitation valve part way.
If you mount the motor and pump under the reel--which is fine--be sure to put a roof or cover over the pump. You don't want herbicide and fertilizer dripping off the wet hose onto the pump and your brand new motor--nor rain.
Be sure to accomodate how to add, check and drain oil for changes. How to fill gas. And how to pull the starter rope. And clearance to change worn pump rollers.
With my setup for easier rope pulls, I used a pulley attached to the reel; this allowed me to use a longer starter rope and brought the rubber handle up to just over waist high.
You want an air gap fill tube on top of your tank for back flow prevention. Required by law in some areas.

Applause for H-E-B plus!
Megastore mission to meet the giants on their own turf
Just after 6 a.m. Friday, 19-year-old Marc Gonzalez stood in the entertainment department of the new H-E-B plus! on Saratoga Boulevard, grinning as he snapped a self-portrait with the camera in his mobile phone.
Gonzalez was one of about 160 customers who lined up outside the store's entrance starting at 4:45 a.m. for its official opening at 6 a.m. Unlike many of the eager shoppers, Gonzalez didn't come for any particular item on sale. He was determined to write himself into H-E-B history.
"I was the first one to run through the door," he said. "I ran and bought a pack of gum, so I was the first customer to buy something at this store." From his pocket he produced the receipt for the 93-cent purchase.
After six months of construction and a massive marketing campaign, including weeks of teasing the community by not allowing the public or cameras inside, San-Antonio-based H-E-B opened its first full-sized "plus!" store - a 178,000-square-foot complex on Saratoga between Staples Street and Everhart Road.
curtain rises
The corrugated metal door that drops to cover the store's entrance lifted like a playhouse curtain just before 6 a.m., eliciting some cheers and applause from those waiting outside. The shopping cart convoy surged into the store, where some scooted quickly down the aisles toward some advertised sales and others appeared to pause at the building's threshold, taking in its size.
Laurie Martinez woke up at 4:15 a.m. to arrive at the store by 4:45 a.m. She was the first in what became a long line of shoppers who waited in the dark for the store to open. She hoped to buy a discounted DVD player and a basketball hoop and stand that had been advertised in the newspaper. Martinez said the store was within a five-minute drive from her home on the city's Southside.
"This is going to be my place to shop," she said. "I don't want to drive any farther."
Corpus Christi native Sam Rodriguez, another who waited outside, said the new store was symbolic of the city's economic growth.
"It's a change of the times," he said. "It's a big event for Corpus Christi, and I wanted to be a part of it." After about 20 minutes of shopping inside, Rodriguez concluded: "It's the best H-E-B I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of these all throughout Texas."
General Manager Louis Whetstone greeted customers and helped many of them heft boxed basketball stands onto carts. In 10 minutes, roughly 60 of the $30 basketball stands had been carted away.
"We were hoping to have a few people outside," he said. "But if this is any indication of the day we're going to have, it's going to be a good day."
two-front battle
The plus! concept adds about 40,000 items to a traditional H-E-B grocery store. The Corpus Christi store - and two others that will open in the next 30 days in San Antonio and Round Rock - have expanded food departments and many new, non-food ones.
For example, the entertainment section at the new store sells about 80,000 DVD and CD titles, the bed and bath aisles offer a much larger selection than those at a traditional H-E-B and several aisles in the grocery department are dedicated to health products and specialty food.
The expansion pits the company in more direct competition with retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and Austin-based Whole Foods Market, a chain that specializes in organic, health and specialty foods. Alan Tarver, an equity analyst for San Antonio-based Frost Bank who specializes in retail, media and consumer staples industries, said the launch of the H-E-B plus! stores represents a battle H-E-B is waging on two fronts.
"The traditional grocery stores are losing business not only to companies like Wal-Mart but also to the Whole Foods of the world," he said. "Consumers are either shopping down for cheaper non-food items or shopping up for specialty food items."
Tarver said that with the plus! store concept, H-E-B is adding competitively priced non-food items and expanding to include more high-end and specialty foods.
"They're responding to the competitive pressures from both directions," he said. "H-E-B has always been known as one of the top-tier grocery competitors in the country. The fact that they are launching this concept just shows they're adapting to changes in the competitive landscape."
The new store created about 150 jobs. The privately held H-E-B operates about 300 stores in Texas and Mexico.

Now that it's clear there will be no super-committee deal to attach spectrum legislation to, supporters are looking for alternative avenues to move the legislation by the end of the year. Just about any bill with a chance to pass Congress will likely do.
"Supporters will look for any moving vehicle to stick it on," said Veronica O'Connell, vice president of congressional affairs for the Consumer Electronics Association.
After failing to attach spectrum legislation to a debt-ceiling deal in August, lawmakers and some industry and public-safety groups had been urging the congressional super committee to tackle spectrum legislation in its grand deal.
In particular, the Consumer Electronics Association and other industry groups had been pushing the super committee to include legislation authorizing auctions to entice broadcasters to give up some of their spectrum, which could raise several billion for deficit reduction and free up more spectrum for wireless broadband.
But with the collapse of the super committee, industry groups, lawmakers, and others following the issue say they are keeping all their options open.
"We just want it to move," said Kevin Richards, TechAmerica's senior vice president of federal government affairs.
Richards said one possible avenue for moving spectrum legislation is a bill to extend some expiring business tax breaks, such as the research-and-development tax credit.
Other possibilities include attaching spectrum measures to an appropriations bill to fund several government agencies and departments for the rest of fiscal 2012 or possible legislation to extend jobless benefits and a payroll-tax reduction.
However, Jot Carpenter, vice president for government affairs with the wireless industry group CTIA, said there are procedural hurdles to attaching spectrum legislation to appropriations legislation. "It's easier to suggest it than to pull it off," he said.
The Senate Commerce Committee approved spectrum legislation in June. And the House Energy and Commerce Committee has been working on its own version of spectrum legislation. But the panel's top Republicans have been unable to reach a deal with Democrats because of a disagreement over the public safety spectrum issue.
Public safety groups have been pushing Congress to reallocate a swath of spectrum known as the D-block to them so they can create a national broadband network. The Energy and Commerce Committee's top Republicans have opposed giving the D-block to public safety and would prefer to stick with current law, which requires that the spectrum be auctioned.
Greg Walden, R-Ore., chairman of the Energy and Commerce Communications Subcommittee, said in October that his goal was to move spectrum legislation by the end of the year. His panel could hold a markup on spectrum legislation as soon as Dec. 1, although the subcommittee did not respond to a request for comment on when it might schedule a markup.
"We are certainly preparing as if he [Walden] is going to keep that commitment and move forward with regular order," Carpenter said.
Senate Commerce Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., also said he will continue looking for ways to pass his spectrum legislation.
"This bill would not only reduce the federal deficit by at least $6.5 billion but also provide first responders with a life-saving communications network and spur billions of dollars in economic investment," Rockefeller said in a statement late Monday. "Winning ideas like S.911 cannot keep falling victim to this partisan stubbornness. I will continue to pursue all avenues to get S.911 enacted this year."

True revitalization comes through private investment, not governmentally funded state educational institutions. Government transportation in my opinion is not revitalization. These two particular items, in conjunction with private investments could have improvements, but the cost does not reflect the return.
|Has the city spent too little, too much or just the right amount in supporting the ASU downtown campus?
|Please see my previous answers.
|Which recommendations in the public safety efficiency study, if any, should the city pursue?

|All employee pension systems, whether public or private, must be funded.
|Rate City Manager David Cavazos' performance.
|Should more city services be privatized? If yes, which ones?
|Yes. All city services must be objectively evaluated so that any service identifiable as a candidate for privatization can immediately become part of the bidding process.
|Should the city be doing anything differently in addressing traffic congestion?
|We should research other city�s transportation departments as well as Phoenix and see how they possibly differ from each other. We need to explore other options and philosophies to find what works best and why.
|Name a decision the current City Council has made in the past two years that you agree with, and explain why.
|The decision to cut the budget well always be my favorite, now, weather or not it has been cut enough?
|Name a decision the current City Council has made in the past two years that you disagree with, and explain why.
|The most obvious one currently is the food consumption tax. Taxing a man�s food as a means to generate revenue to pay city employees while the average consumer is struggling financially should never happen again. I would put forward a proposal to prevent this from becoming a possibility in the future.
|Name an issue you think is important that doesn't get much press.
|Planning and zoning affect millions of dollars in the city of Phoenix and its development and growth. Most residents do not know anything about it or center actions. Also government contracts and the process for requesting bidders for jobs paid for by tax dollars is woefully concealed and must be made transparent.

Obama Gives Back Major Strip of AZ to Mexico
Obama Gives Back Major Strip of AZ to Mexico

The federal government is now telling American citizens to stay out of three southern Arizona counties. It is too dangerous because of armed smugglers from Mexico.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu: Quite frankly I'm telling you as a sheriff that we don't control that part of the county. My county is larger than the state of Connecticut and we need support from the federal government. It's their job to secure the border and they haven't done it. In fact President Obama suspended the construction of the fence.
Sheriff Paul Babeu: Even with that, you say one thing and then you're out at a fundraiser in California and you don't go to the funeral of the people who died in the explosion. You know its one thing to say something slick on television in a ten second soundbite but we need action. And, it's shameful that we as the most powerful nation on earth can win wars and liberate countries throughout history yet we can't even secure our own border.

Obamacare's control plan?
'Behavior modification'
Expert opinion: 'Ultimately everything
will be governed by federal authorities'

The online Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders says "behavior modification," a controversial psychological treatment, can be accomplished through positive reinforcement or "punishment," and now President Obama has signed an executive order specifying the treatment for American citizens whose health may not be what he wants.
Obama's order appoints members to a new government committee set up by the Democrats' new health law that will evaluate, make recommendations about and establish rules for everything from how people exercise to whether they smoke to the food they eat and the medicines they use.
It also specifically requires that the committee list the priorities for "lifestyle behavior modification" that the government will pursue.

The massive, draconian legislation Obama and his Marxist controlled Congress are pushing, has absolutely nothing to do with clean energy, but every thing to do with grabbing more power, and implementing a cap and tax scheme that will make Obama, and his cronies, TENS of TRILLIONS of DOLLARS richer in the years to come.
… BTW, just how creepy is it that Obama is running a permanent political campaign, and has a symbol for himself. Do I even need to remind people who the last person was that had such a thing, and how that turned out?
While Obama is singly handedly destroying the American oil industry, and placing moratoriums on any exploration, his puppet master, George Soros, is looking to make billions with his Brazilian oil company, Petrobas.
Time To Extinguish Cigarette Tax Hikes
Time To Extinguish Cigarette Tax Hikes
IBD Editorials ^ | June 15, 2010 | LAWRENCE J. McQUILLAN

Faced with yawning budget deficits, state legislators are looking for new revenue sources. Many think hiking cigarette excise taxes is the pain-free answer, but they're wrong.
This year, Utah and New Mexico have already raised cigarette taxes by $1 per pack and 75 cents per pack, respectively. In 2009, 14 states plus the District of Columbia implemented cigarette-tax hikes. At least 20 states are looking to do likewise in 2010, including Georgia, Kansas, New York and South Carolina.
Lawmakers claim such tax hikes generate substantial revenue while discouraging smoking. Yet the history of cigarette taxes shows otherwise. Any revenue increases following cigarette-tax hikes have typically fallen well short of projections.
When Maryland increased its cigarette tax by $1 per pack last year, Gov. Martin O'Malley promised it would raise $255 million in new revenue. The actual amount was $117 million short of that figure.

Free Speech and Guns – Legal superstar Eugene Volokh on the Bill of Rights in 2010
Free Speech and Guns – Legal superstar Eugene Volokh on the Bill of Rights in 2010
Reason ^ | July 2010 | Eugene Volokh & Ted Balaker
Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 5:01:02 PM by neverdem
Few scholars have led a life as varied as Eugene Volokh's. Born in the Soviet Union in 1968, Volokh immigrated with his family to the United States at age 7. A prodigy, he entered the University of California at Los Angeles at 12 and graduated at 15 with a degree in math and computer science. At the same time he contributed to the family software business, which became very successful thanks in large part to Eugene's programming skills.
In his 20s, interested in new challenges, Volokh went to law school, starting on a path that would eventually lead to clerkships with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and the libertarian-leaning 9th Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski. Since 1994 he has taught law at UCLA. As a professor he has achieved not just a strong reputation among his peers, thanks to his scholarship on subjects ranging from cyberspace law to the Second Amendment, but a considerable following outside the legal profession as well, thanks to The Volokh Conspiracy, a consistently interesting website he launched in 2002.
(It was originally called The Volokh Brothers, adopting its present name after the roster of bloggers extended beyond Eugene and his sibling Sasha.) On their blog, Volokh and his collaborators, most of whom share his generally libertarian orientation, cover a wide range of legal and political issues, from the Supreme Court to the Middle East.
reason.tv producer Ted Balaker sat down with Volokh in December for a wide-ranging discussion about the state of civil liberties in the United States today. For a video version of the interview, go to reason.tv/video/show/eugene-volokh.
reason: Do threats to free speech these days come mostly from the left or from the right?

Quick Enough earns his way into Turf Sprint picture
A $40,000 claimer in August, Quick Enough has proven good enough in recent starts to go to the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint on Nov. 6 following his victory in Monday's $100,000 Morvich Handicap at Hollywood Park.
Quick Enough had an ideal trip in the Grade 3 Morvich over six furlongs on turf, stalking pacesetter Lt. Hopeful to early stretch and outfinishing Dilemma to win by 1 1/2 lengths. The Morvich was part of the Breeders' Cup Win and You're In program, assuring an automatic berth to the winner for the BC Turf Sprint, subject to the payment of entry fees.
For Quick Enough, the entry fees are high.
Quick Enough would need to be nominated to the BC program for $100,000 to be eligible for entry and starter fees, trainer Doug O'Neill said. Partners Michael Bello, Russ Sarno and Pablo Suarez may be willing to spend that much to nominate the 6-year-old gelding to the $1 million turf race over five furlongs.
"It's a strong possibility," O'Neill said. "He's such a cool horse. He's very game and brings it every time."
In the Morvich, Quick Enough ($7.60) ran six furlongs on turf in 1:08.42 under jockey Patrick Valenzuela. Scenic Blast, the 8-5 favorite and a Group 1 winner in England and Australia last year, finished third.
For Valenzuela, the Morvich was his first stakes win of the Oak Tree at Santa Anita meeting and his first stakes win at any Oak Tree meeting since 2006. He was injured in 2007 and was not licensed in California in 2008 and 2009 because of a violation of his conditional license issued in late 2007. Valenzuela resumed riding in California in July of this year.
Quick Enough was claimed for $40,000 at Del Mar on Aug. 5, a day he won an optional claimer over five furlongs on turf. In his first start for his current owners and trainer, Quick Enough was a troubled second in the Green Flash Handicap over five furlongs on turf on Aug. 18.
A California-bred by High Brite, Quick Enough has won 7 of 14 starts and $276,120.

A few picks from this evening's quiz!! Competitive stuff - the staff are not performing well!!
We are busy tomorrow making t-shirts and doing archery then packing up and heading for home after lunch. We estimate that we will be home for 3pm and the kids will be excited to see you all and tell you what has been happening!
On behalf of all the staff members here can I just say that the children have been a pleasure to spend time with and they have been a credit to our school, you as their parents and most importantly, themselves!

Classic Mimosa has a rounded, de-sharpened note of leaf alcohol up top – an aromachemical that in concetration smells like a lawnmower (motor oil and cut grass). It's a chemical I love and rarely smell in a fragrance. The slightly petrol like hit is still there but subtly, the fresh-mown grass accord soft on the skin, fresh and dewy.
The florals come in quickly – a hint of powdery violets and neroli. A slight citrus adds a cologne-like freshness whilst the florals make sure it doesn't go too masculine. The mimosa comes in shortly after – a little bit of powder and a delicate almond scent similar to heliotrope scatters over the top of Classic Mimosa – it's not as sweet as I expected, the almond slightly bitter with a papery texture. A subtle, salty marine note adds some clarity, retaining the freshness of the opening – the combination of salt and powdery florals bringing to mind Dans Tes Bras by Frederic Malle, only with more warmth and a greater floral heart.
There's a subtle rose in the mix, but for once it doesn't stand out on my skin as the leading note as it so often does in floral arrangements. The rose that is there is tinged with a cool green, turning more into a geranium aroma (a note I've really began to love!). The powdery mimosa (which gradually loses it's almond notes) and the violet infused driftwood lead a light, sweet, powdery but fresh heart and it's really lovely. Orange blossom underneath acts almost as a resin, providing some depth to the airy florals
The base turns musky but clean, with a smidge of vanilla sweetening the florals and driftwood – making sure it never turns murky or soiled. The fragrance just manages to stay damp and fresh on the skin – the flowers smelling dewy rather than overtly powdery – but the powder does become more prominant later in the development. There seems to be a tiny hint of vetiver in the base that I wish was a little more potent (to continue the salty, earthy feel of the marine notes).
But all in all, Classic Mimosa is a really enjoyable fragrance. It seems to be the wrong season to have my little bottle but I'll definitely be cracking it out in the spring, and maybe every now and again in the winter to put a smile on my face! A light and beautifully fresh, sea floral without an overload of calone, sparse translucency or dense, synthetic, aquatic disguises. Recommended!

As a Grizzlies and Buckeyes fan (Dad from Memphis, he attended OSU, I was born in Memphis, and am now a freshman at THE Ohio State University) I have always loved the Conley pick. I knew he would take time to develop but that he would be a great point guard at the next level. He probably should have stayed at Ohio State for longer, which explains why it took so long for him to start reaching his potential, but nonetheless I am extremely happy to have him as a member of the Grizzlies. In fact, myself and my 2 buddies who also came to OSU with me from Memphis, we watch every Grizz game in the dorm room, since we split the NBA League Pass subscription between the three of us. Go Grizz, and Go Bucks!

hard to push him back when I am looking up at the sky haha. Guy is 300 pounds. I am like 175. I tried to go after him after I got up, but dude held me back.
Just wanted to say, I rushed the field after the game, coming from Block O in the south stands. As I was running and jumping towards midfield, near the South Endzone, I was yelling Go Bucks! That was also the time the Michigan players were making their way off the field, our field. As I was jumping, William Campbell, #73 for the Blue, shoved me in the face and knocked me down. Also, I was not provoking them at all. I was not taunting, merely shouting Go Bucks! and staying out of their way.
Classless behavior.

Mysterious UFO photobombs friends' selfie taken outside Grimsby pub
Posted: April 18, 2014|
IS IT a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's another UFO that has apparently been spotted soaring above the skies of North East Lincolnshire!
Football fans Dave Harding and Liam Heeney captured the Unidentified Flying Object on a camera while taking a selfie outside Grimsby's Spider's Web pub, in Carr Lane.
Dave, 23, who works in security, said: "We took the picture and uploaded it to Facebook and it was one of our friends who noticed the strange object behind our heads.
"I can't say I believe in UFOs myself, but we took loads of photos that day and there was nothing on any of the others, so it's not like it could have been a mark on the lens or anything.

"It's all a bit strange!"
The friends were enjoying a drink outside the pub at about 7.15am on Sunday before taking a minibus to Liverpool with friends to watch a football match.
While waiting, they decided to take the snap of themselves and then continued to use their camera phones to document the day.
Liam, 23, from Cleethorpes, who works on offshore oil rigs, added: "I've never believed in UFOs before, but now I've seen the picture I'm not so sure.
"It wasn't even us who noticed it, it was a friend who pointed it out.
"Neither of us are technologically minded, so it's not like we could have Photoshopped it or anything.
"I'm not one of those people who says they've experienced close encounters, but there's definitely something up there!"
The strange snap is the latest in a long line of extra terrestrial sightings in the area, including "fire falling from the sky" above Scartho in January, and flashing lights above Waltham last May.
Other bizarre happenings have included unidentified red lights near Tetney in September 2010 and a wind turbine being damaged after allegedly being hit by a mysterious craft in January 2009.

LOBOS BEGIN MOUNTAIN WEST ACTION WITH ROAD SWING TO WYOMING, No. 9 COLORADO STATE - Fresh off winning the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic, New Mexico begins Mountain West Conference action this week with matches at Wyoming and No. 9 Colorado State. The Lobos went a perfect 3-0 in their home tournament last weekend, defeating Hartford, UTEP and Weber State. Four Lobos garnered all-tournament team honors, including Nicole Ryan, who was named the MVP after averaging 4.00 kills per game, 1.42 blocks per game and hitting for a .339 percentage.
After a strong non-conference showing in which the Lobos picked up six victories, UNM's focus now shifts to the most important part of the schedule, the conference season. The Lobos' first conference match of the season is at Wyoming Friday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. The Cowgirls enter the conference season with a 5-5 record after winning two of three last weekend in the Idaho State Tournament. UNM is looking to snap a four-match losing streak to the Cowgirls; Wyoming leads the overall series, 27-23.
The task only gets tougher Saturday night as the Lobos battle No. 9 Colorado State in Moby Arena at 7 p.m. CSU went a perfect 14-0 in the Mountain West last season to claim the league title, won the tournament championship, and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Rams are loaded once again this year and bring an 8-1 record into the weekend - their only loss was against current No. 1 Minnesota. CSU, who leads the overall series 28-20, has won the last 15 meetings against the Lobos.
-- Junior Nicole Ryan was named the MVP of the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic after averaging 4.00 kills per game, 1.42 blocks per game and hitting for a .339 percentage. Ryan put down a season-high 18 kills and collected 21.5 points vs. UTEP in the second match of the tournament. She is second on the team with 3.18 kills per game.
-- Junior Chelsea Sondrup is moving closer to becoming the all-time blocks and block assists leader in New Mexico history. Sondrup is fifth in blocks with 243 (record: 299) and fourth in block assists with 229 (record: 252). She registered 11 block assists in UNM's win over Weber State, which tied for second all-time in a UNM match - two shy of her own record of 13 which she set her freshman year against SMU.
-- Senior Adah Burke is living up to her billing as the top libero in the Mountain West Conference. The preseason All-MWC selection is leading the league with 4.58 digs per game. She dug a career-high 28 in UNM's win over UTEP, the sixth most in a UNM match, and was named the top libero in the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic.
-- The Lobos have already eclipsed their win total from 2003.
-- The Lobos are third in the Mountain West in winning percentage at .600.
-- The Lobos are 2-3 all-time in Mountain West openers.
-- The Lobos are 3-0 in five-game matches this season.
ALBUQUERQUE MARRIOTT LOBO VOLLEYBALL CLASSIC SUMMARY - The New Mexico volleyball team rallied back from two games down and defeated Weber State in five games (25-30, 18-30, 30-25, 30-20, 16-14) Saturday, Sept. 18 to claim the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic title. The Lobos also topped Hartford and UTEP in the tournament to go a perfect 3-0 for the weekend.
The Lobos led all teams with four players on the all-tournament team, including junior Nicole Ryan, who was named the MVP of the tournament. Ryan averaged 4.00 kills per game, 1.42 blocks per game and hit at a .339 clip in the tournament's three matches. In the final match vs. Weber State, Ryan led the Lobos with 15 kills in addition to racking up eight block assists.
Chelsea Sondrup collected 12 blocks (one solo, 11 assists) and 13 kills against Weber State (1-10) and was also named to the all-tournament team. Sondrup's 11 block assists tied for second most all-time in a UNM match - two shy of her own record set in 2002.
Freshman Samie Weber put down seven kills and had six block assists against the Wildcats of WSU. She averaged 1.17 blocks per game during the tournament to garner all-tournament honors.
Defensively, senior Adah Burke was named the top libero of the tournament after averaging 4.17 digs per game. Burke set a career-high with 28 digs vs. UTEP, which was good for sixth all-time in a UNM match.
The Lobos struggled early against Weber State, falling in game one, 30-25, and game two, 30-18. But the Lobos came alive in game three, tallying 16 kills as a team in the 30-25 win. UNM held the Wildcats to a negative hitting percentage in game four in shutting down WSU, 30-20. In the fifth and final game, the Lobos jumped out to an 8-3 lead, but the Wildcats came back to tie the game at 11. The two teams traded the next six points until the Lobos rattled off two straight points on a WSU blocking error and a Ryan service ace to win 16-14.

MVP - Nicole Ryan, New Mexico Chelsea Sondrup, New Mexico Samie Weber, New Mexico Kari Stacy, UTEP Ashley Ripple, UTEP Lindsay Harris, Weber State Kaylianne Valenzuela, Weber State Libero - Adah Burke, New Mexico
THERKELSEN SHOWING IMPROVEMENT: Sophomore Kelly Therkelsen has shown dramatic improvement in the Lobos' first three weekends of the season after leading the team with 3.28 kills per game (eighth in Mountain West), which is an improvement over last year's 1.72 kpg. Therkelsen earned Comcast Lobo Invitational all-tournament team honors the first weekend of the season, and the following week she earned all-tournament accolades at the Delaware Invitational after recording a career-high 25 kills against George Washington. She registered double-digit kills in two of UNM's three matches last weekend in the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic.
BLOCK YOU VERY MUCH: Junior Chelsea Sondrup is climbing the career charts at UNM in blocks in her third season. Sondrup is fifth all-time with 243 blocks (record: 299) and fourth in blocks assists with 229 (record: 252).
This season, she is second on the team with 33 blocks (1.00 per game) and is tied for the team lead with a .295 attack percentage. She earned Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic all-tournament team honors after putting down 11 block assists vs. Weber State, which is the second most in a UNM match.
Sondrup already holds the single-season UNM mark for block assists, as she tallied 131 her freshman year. She also established UNM single-match block (14) and block assists (13) records with her performance against SMU on Sept. 20, 2002.
BLOCK YOU VERY MUCH, Pt. 2: Following in Sondrup's footsteps, freshman Samie Weber has put on an impressive display of blocking in her rookie season. Weber leads the team with 43 blocks (1.10 per game) and is tied for the team lead in attack percentage (.295). Weber earned all-tournament honors in both the Comcast Lobo Invitational and the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic.
SET ME UP: Senior setter Monica Meihack returns as the starting setter for the third straight year. Meihack collected a double-double in the first match of the year against Northern Colorado, tallying 50 assists and 10 digs. She dished out a season-high 55 assists vs. UTEP Sept. 18. For the season, she has recorded at least 50 assists on four occasions. Meihack, a Fallon, Nev., native, is fifth in the Mountain West with 10.87 assists per game.
CAUTION - DIGGING AHEAD: Senior Adah Burke is showing why she was named the top libero in the Mountain West Conference in the preseason. Burke leads the conference with 4.58 digs per game and was named the top libero at the Albquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic last weekend. She recorded a career-high 28 digs in the win over UTEP, which was the sixth most ever in a UNM match.
FROM THE BEACH TO THE DESERT: Junior outside hitter Nicole Ryan transferred to UNM this season after playing for Golden West Community College in California last year. She led the Rustlers to a perfect 22-0 season in 2003 and is looking to bring some of that magic to the Lobos in 2004. Ryan displayed her winning mentality last weekend, leading the Lobos to a perfect 3-0 record in the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic. She was named the MVP of the tournament after averaging 4.00 kills per game and 1.42 blocks per game, all while hitting at a .339 clip.
HEASTY BRINGS EXPERIENCE TO THE FRONT LINE: Sophomore outside/middle Jennifer Heasty is one of five starters returing to the lineup this season for UNM. Heasty led the Lobos in 2003 in hitting percentage and is very versatile around the net. This season, she is fifth on the team in kills (2.11 pg) and fourth in blocks (0.66 pg).
LIVE FROM BUDAPEST: Junior transfer Gabriella Veres, a native of Budapest, Hungary, made her Divison I debut against Creighton Sept. 4. Veres has played on the Hungarian Junior National Team and was a member of the PRSC Division II junior championship team in 2003 (21-under) and the PRSC Division II championship team in 2004 (all ages).
