By Jerry O'Brien
8-1-13 Proctor, MN
Skeeter Estey drove to an early lead from the pole in the 20 lap Midwest Modified feature
ahead of point leader Danny Vang, Dan Kingsley while Jake Gondik battled with Mack Estey for
fourth and fifth. Skeeter Estey, Kingsley and Vang distanced themselves from the rest until Kyle

the track but stalled on the pit road bringing out the caution flag with five laps recorded. On the
restart Skeeter Estey moved out to a ten car length lead while Kingsley was busy holding off
Vang. Ninth starting Deven VanHouse moved in on Gondik for fourth and took the position. The
top seven cars pulled away from Chris Bretting who led a gaggle of cars in a battle for eighth.
Skeeter Estey was in complete control of the race and went on to win his first feature of the
season at the speedway. Kingsley, VanHouse, Vang and Gondik finished in the top five.

LINCOLN — Corey A. Dumas, 37, initially thought he was lucky not to have lost anything as a result of a break into his family business, Lil & Gene's Restaurant in Manville this week.
But that feeling quickly soured when Dumas later found one of his 29 Winter Street business' personal treasures to be missing after all.
No, Dumas didn't lose a large sum of money or even an expensive piece of business equipment. He lost just a $20 bill — but one that had much meaning to someone running a small business like his.
Dumas got the bill 11 years ago when he took over operation of Lil & Gene's from his dad Gerry Dumas. Dumas' family had run the restaurant in the Winter Street neighborhood for 40 years before he became the owner.

'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
From the new Townes Van Zandt double CD "Sunshine Boy".
'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Los Weebads!
If I Told You All That Went Down It Would Burn Off Both Of Your Ears
Happy Friday Everybody!
Okay, this may be considered a confession of some kind. Not in my eyes, but whatever. I LIKE LOVERBOY! There, I said it. However that paints me, gimme the brush! Their first two or three albums were and still are fantastic IMO.
I saw them on their (I think) first big tour opening for AC/DC on the "Back In Black" tour. Picture this: Bon Scott had died after AC/DC had made their best album ever (in my opinion, and the opinions of many others). The band had this new singer nobody had ever heard of, some guy who wore a goofy cap all the time, and who sounded like he gargled with Drano. A voice MUCH different than Bon's. But they were coming to town, so of course everybody was going.
If the changes to AC/DC weren't enough, the band who was opening for them was some unknown bunch from Canada named 'Loverboy'. Well, isn't that cute. How sweet. 'Loverboy'. "Oh, yoo hoo, come here Loverboy, you cutie you! Yoooo Hooooo." That was the attitude of most of us in the crowd that night. The song "Turn Me Loose" had been getting some airplay on the radio, but still... Loverboy? C'mon; how good could they be?
The big night finally gets here. How many times had I taken my ticket out of my wallet and looked at it? A million? Showtime. Lights go down, crowd goes up, strange aroma is all around (?), and this bassline starts thumping. Stage is still dark. After about a minute, the synth joins in. Stage is still dark. This goes for about another minute. Then, f-i-n-a-l-l-y, the guitar rages in, and the stage is still dark!!! The sound mix is perfect. Loud, clear, powerful. I mean L-O-U-D! And clear! And POWERFUL! I thought my heart would explode out of my chest. It was one of the finest moments in my life. I was young, I was alive, I had a few bucks in my pocket, and I was ready to take on the world! This music affected me so much that I was almost scared by it. It was incredible. And they hadn't even officially started yet!
By now, most of us in the crowd are excited to say the least. I was through the roof myself. I was ready to vote these guys President. After what had to be a full four or five minute opening and building, building, building the tension and expectation IN TOTAL DARKNESS - BOOM! Drums and the rest of the band take off. The lights go up, and we see Loverboy for the first time. Lots or reds and yellows and blacks, Nikes all around, and tons of puffy hair. And they're in high gear. All serious, all business, all Rock and Roll! They were just unbelievable.
From that night until today, I've been a fan of Loverboy. And their guitar player Paul Dean. As usual, he had what I thought was a great tone. (We all like who we like and think they're great for one reason or another, you know?) His sound was powerful, a little brittle, a little nasal, but still warm. Not piercing and painful. I could only like Paul Dean more if he was from Texas! In fact, parts of his playing remind me of David Grissom, and vice versa. Just that certain element to their tone that I love.
Loverboy changed my life forever that night. AC/DC was good, but to me, the stars that night were Loverboy. That may sound insane to some, but all I can say is that you must not have been there.
One more thing; I carried a bottle of Southern Comfort into the show that night in my boot. (I was in my Southern Comfort phase then.) I still have it. A nice little memento from thirty-something years ago...

'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Cool post Goldtop! Like your candeur.
And yes, Loverboy is a band nobody wanted to admit they liked their music. Kinda of a "love to hate" thing... Even here, in C'nada...
Another band that didn't quite get the recognition they deserved IMO, in the same era, is April Wine...
O' C'nada...

Happy Birthday to Roger Daltry! Here's a little obscure Who trivia. In the early 80's, when Pete Townshend's hearing problems were at their worst, the band considered changing their name to "The What?". Fortunately, the idea was dismissed...

'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Please let me begin with a disclaimer: I don't like Justin Bieber's music. I don't even call what he produces 'music'. Now, my story...
I have a neighbor who is in a rehab center/nursing home right now. She asked me to get a book for her. The bookstore close to my apartment didn't have what she was looking for, so this morning I went to another one of their stores across town to look there. On the way home I stopped at Sonic to get a Coke (a day without a Coke is a day with a headache for me), and while I was there, on the P.A. I heard the following announcement: 'All right, kids! Here's some Old School Justin Bieber for ya!'. I almost had an attack. GIVE ME A BREAK, WILLYA??
Old School? Justin Bieber? OLDSCHOOLJUSTINBIEBER?!?!?!
Thankfully, the carhop brought my Coke just in time and I made my getaway. When I got home I went to YouTube, found this, played it, and found I didn't hate it. Imagine that. I think it would be much better without all of the studio trickery, but still; I don't hate it.

Cops roust Occupy crowd from Union Square
Cops shut down Union Square and kicked out a large crowd of Occupy Wall Street protesters last night, arresting one demonstrator just days after larger clashes at the group's former encampment downtown. Police surrounded the historic park with metal barricades just after midnight, citing a longstanding — but apparently often unenforced — rule that the park be closed in the overnight hours, as a crowd of more than 100 taunted officers.

Feds say Queens super wanted to sell guns to terror group Hezbollah
A Queens super attempted to sell guns to the terror group Hezbollah because he "long dreamed of making big money" as an arms dealer, a Manhattan federal prosecutors charged Monday. Patrick Nayyar was thwarted only because the man he arranged the deal with was an FBI informant, prosecutor Stephen Ritchin told jurors. Read More: Daily News
Two die in bloody day of violence in Brooklyn
Two people were killed and three others wounded during a wave of violence in Brooklyn yesterday. A gunman shot a 21-year-old man several times at the Ingersoll Houses in Fort Greene at about 8:20 p.m. — possibly for retribution for a shooting in the housing development two years ago. About an hour earlier, an 18-year-old woman was shot in East New York, authorities said. She was in stable condition. Read More: New York Post
Bullets fly in chase
A suspected car thief led cops on a wild, Hollywood-style chase through the streets of Brooklyn yesterday, dodging roadblocks and gunfire before he was finally cornered. Officials said patrol officers from the 75th Precinct stopped a black Mercedes-Benz on Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York shortly before 9:30 a.m. because they suspected the car was stolen.

Police Arrest Suspect In Fatal Staten Island Stabbing
A suspect wanted in the deadly stabbing of a Staten Island groom-to-be over the weekend was in police custody on Tuesday. Redinel Dervishaj, a 35-year-old waiter, was picked up by U.S. Marshals at his aunt's house in a suburb of Chicago, according to sources. Antonio Lacertosa, 27, was stabbed in the torso early Saturday morning outside the Espana Restaurant in Annadale. Investigators say Lacertosa was celebrating his engagement to his high school sweetheart at the restaurant. Read More: NY1
Liu backs $$ gal
Embattled city Comptroller John Liu sprang to the defense of his indicted campaign treasurer and defiantly insisted his staff did everything it could to make sure donations were legal, despite federal charges against the treasurer and a key fund-raiser. "I don't believe it's our campaign's responsibility or any campaign's responsibility to verify the home address, to verify the work address, to essentially run a credit check on any donor," Liu said in response to allegations that his campaign made use of straw donors who funneled illegal contributions from wealthy individuals into the campaign. "Do we operate differently than other campaigns? Absolutely not." Read More: New York Post
Cop rips punk in hero brother's gun death
The police-officer brother of a Queens man fatally shot defending his father from a crew of housebreakers stared down the thug who set up the robbery yesterday, calling him a "drug addict, coward, savage." Geraldo Antoniello was shot in the head Sept. 9, 2009, by one of four punks savagely beating his dad, the owner of a popular pizzeria in Howard Beach. Read More: New York Post
Brooklyn Gym Teacher Charged With Groping Student
A Brooklyn physical education teacher was arrested and awaiting arraignment Tuesday on charges he inappropriately touched one of his teenage students. Police say Esran Boothe, 49, is charged with forcible touching and sexual abuse in the third degree. The city Department of Education says Boothe was re-assigned from his position at the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment on Classon Avenue in Crown Heights and is now on administrative leave.

Far Rockaway Playground Under Construction Receives Major Damage
Looking at the broken plastic, mangled metal and bent iron at the Beach 29th street playground in Far Rockaway, Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski said the facility's June opening might be delayed and the damage will cost the city tens of thousands of dollars. "We know that we lost a number of the slides, the platforms, some of the fencing, the climbing apparatuses have been damaged," said Lewandowski. Parks Department officials said an excavator did the damage. The contractor says someone cut through a nearby chain link fence to get onto the property. Read More: NY1

Earning widespread applause from activists, analysts, and Tea Party groups nationwide, state lawmakers in the Virginia House of Delegates passed several important resolutions this week on issues that have been gaining increasing prominence in recent years. The measures, which mostly passed with broad support, deal with everything from restraining an out-of-control federal government and United Nations to ensuring that Virginians are protected in the event of a collapse of the increasingly unstable Federal Reserve fiat dollar system.
Of course, Virginia is not alone in its efforts to protect citizens and their rights. In recent years, dozens of states have passed similar laws and resolutions on these issues. Alabama, for example, in an effort to defend private property rights and due process, completely banned the UN's "sustainable development" plot known as Agenda 21 last year. Utah, meanwhile, passed a law making gold and silver legal tender within the state, becoming a leader in the growing nationwide movement for sound money.
More than a few state governments have also recently nullified unconstitutional federal usurpations by relying on the U.S. Constitution's Tenth Amendment, which reserves to the states and the people all powers not delegated to the U.S. government. Everything from unconstitutional federal drug laws and indefinite military detention without trial to infringements on gun rights and national ID cards have been targeted by states in recent years.
Now, lawmakers in Virginia are taking center stage. One of the most widely celebrated measures adopted this week slams the United Nations' so-called "sustainability" scheme known as UN Agenda 21. The controversial global plan, promoted by a broad coalition ranging from Big Business interests to ruthless communist despots, calls for a dramatic transformation of human civilization, gradual elimination of private property rights, increasing government control over the economy, empowering of the UN at the expense of national sovereignty, and much more.
"United Nations Agenda 21, a radical plan of purported 'sustainable development,' envisions the American way of life of private property ownership, single-family homes, and individual freedoms as destructive to the environment," notes the Virginia resolution, approved by an almost two-to-one margin in the House. The measure also points out that the UN scheme calls for redistribution of wealth and the erosion of American sovereignty.

Being a proud pastafarian it has come to my attention that not many members of the general public are aware of the Flying Spagetti Monster. Or indeed of his noodly teachings, in order to spread the word of the Flying Spagetti Monster to these unenlightened people and to worship his noodliness I propose the formation of an official Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster, this would be a charitable organisation whose intention is to spread the word of the Flying Spagetti Monster and to honor him by holding festivals of beer and pirates. His noodliness has just informed me that we may also worship him by arriving in holy garments of pirate and stripper costumes, he also told me that he does not want to discriminate agaisnt sexes and to remind the men that they are free to dress up in stripper costumes as well as the women. Incidently being a charitable organisation we would by an amazing coincidence have the same tax relief as the other unenlightened churches. The Flying Spagetti Monster himself told me that he intends this so that we cna donate to his holy chruch tax free and so enjoy worshipping and spreading his word at a much lower cost as well as the further savings on land taxes. Lastly there is a personal message left to all of you who read this from the Flying Spagetti monster himself, he wishes for there to be churches if the Flying Spagetti Monster all over the world, if we can get enough churches set up and enough funds we can spread his word across the whole planet. From the poorest nation to the richest there would be a church of the Flying Spagetti Monster. Also unlike the unenlighteend churches we would spread our wealth across our churches so that those who are less fortunate than ourselves can receive money to help them better themselves as well as having celebrations of beer and pirates (Don't forget the strippers) all over the world untill we are all united beneath the noodly strands of the Flying Spagetti Monster in peace, beer, pirates and strippers.
I hope you feel his noodly appendage and his spagetic wisdom in the words he has given me,
yours pastially
A noodly vessel

Walkn' and Rolln' for Variety
The second annual WaknRoll for Variety Village in Toronto was held Sunday September 21st. My family and I were proud to have the opportunity to join with about 400 folks who decided to participate in the 5K or 1K jaunt. We chose the 5K and had a wonderful walk through the neighbourhood surrounding Variety Village in Toronto. (Danforth and Birchmount).
The official master of ceremonies for the day was Tom Brown of CTV who got the crowd rolling with great rousing cheers of joy and celebration. Nice work Tom…great that you and CTV could be there to support this terrific event.
The morning held a special treat for those gathered with recently returning Paralympians from Beijing donning their silver medals in basketball. Adam Lancia and Abdi Dini Fatah were on hand to mix and mingle with the crowd. We salute them for their oustanding achievement.
Along the route neighbourhood supporters cheered the walkers, rollers, police escort, staff participants, families and friends of Variety and a special honour guard of motorcylce enthusiasts. Along Natal Avenue we were treated to fresh slices of oranges to keep us nourished along the route.
Our family is delighted to report that through friends, family, business associates and acquaintances that we were proud to exceed our $10,000 target and at last tally we were able to raise just over $12,000. I'm posting this here because a number of colleagues at Molson stepped up with support and Molson matches employees charitable giving up to $5000 when an employee supports a non profit. So, to the Molson employees that supported us…a big thanks…and to the Molson Donation Fund…a double big thanks. Cheers everyone and thanks for supporting Variety Village. If you're interested in participating next year check in with Variety.

STARKS, Maine (AP) - Police are investigating a shooting in the central Maine town of Starks.
Police say Kerry Hebert was flown by helicopter to Central Maine Medical Center after being shot on his own property about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Chief Deputy Dale Lancaster of the Somerset County Sheriff's Department told the Bangor Daily News that five hunters were involved in the shooting, but that it wasn't a hunting accident.
Hebert was reported in serious condition Wednesday night, but police said his condition was improving.
As of late Wednesday night, nobody had been charged in connection with the shooting.

What are some stylish outfit options for a Super Bowl party?
- 1 of 14
There is no better time to embrace the athletic look we saw and loved on the runway, which not only scores in the "on trend" department, but also allows for comfortably eating chips and dip and cheering with abandon! Here are some winning pieces for the big game.
- 2 of 14
Essential #1: Vintage-Inspired Athletic Tees
Look for a t-shirt that feels authentically worn-in and undeniably sporty. A faded number or logo on a soft, flattering knit tee looks cute paired with jeans or a flirtatious skirt. A horizontal stripe across the chest or on the arms can feel graphic and cool as well.
- 3 of 14
Essential #2: Crewneck Sweatshirt
Since sweatshirts have gone from weekend wear to fashionable, a cool, feminine sweatshirt is easy to find and fun to wear.
- 4 of 14
Try a shrunken crewneck with a strong graphic or stripe in a heather gray, white, or red. Push the sleeves up and wear with anything from a denim pencil skirt to a baggy cropped trouser. You can further feminize the look with a sweet sandal and a splash of jewelry.
- 5 of 14
Essential #3: Sneakers
Leave your actual workout shoes at home, and instead opt for fashion-worthy high-tops that give you a tomboy edge.
- 6 of 14
A chunky studded number can feel super stylish, and a classic, like Converse, can look cute with a short dress.
- 7 of 14
Essential #4: Flattering Sweatpants
How lucky are we that some of our favorite designers are making sweatpants that are totally acceptable to wear out?! A tapered knit or terry pant with a relaxed waist can look adorable styled with to a little metallic sandal and a shrunken jean jacket.

The free television signal received by Carbon County residents for the last 50 years has been broadcast via an analog transmission system.
Analog signals contain only video signals transmitted through the air.
Carbon County is now broadcasting, on a test basis, free over the air digital television channels from its Star Point, Ford Ridge and Helper communication sites.
Carbon County is currently broadcasting Salt Lake City Channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16 and 30, according to the local government's website.
"When the project is finished, sometime before February 2009, almost every home in the Carbon County area will have the capability of receiving free, over the air digital television channels, each which has one more sub-channel for a total of 22 free channels," said the site.
In December 1996, the Federal Communications Commission approved plans for a new era of television, directing broadcasters to transition from analog technology to digital broadcast by 2009, according to the Utah Education Network.
In a digital system, images and sounds are captured and transmitted using the same digital technology found in computers.
A digital signal is able to produce a good picture regardless of the atmospheric conditions, signal level or terrain given that it is a series of codes and instructions that are deciphered by the digital television receiver. Regardless of the strength of the digital television signal, the codes are still the codes.
Digital broadcast technology provides much higher quality and clarity than analog television. Programs broadcast at the highest level of quality are referred to as High Definition or HD.
With up-to-date television sets or digital tuners, viewers will be able to receive crystal clear pictures, which will be displayed in a wide screen format with surround sound quality.
Carbon County officials remind residents that the channels are in the testing phase and may be changed or even turned off at times.
Residents will need the following equipment to use the new digital signal.
A reasonably good UHF television antenna and feed line made of coaxial cable.
If split to more than one television a good low-noise UHF pre-amp or a distribution amp will be needed.
Position the antenna's orientation so it faces one of the transmitting sites.
One thing to remember while testing the antenna is that a reasonably good analog picture will be a perfect digital picture, according to the site.
A television with a built in receiver labeled ATSC or a stand alone digital ATSC box that will sit on top of the regular analog television.
Most large screen TVs on the market have a built in ATSC or digital receiver) built in. If buying a new TV be sure to look for the ATSC option listed on the box or display. Sets that are labeled HDTV monitor or HDTV ready, most likely do not have a digital receiver. The officials at Carbon County recommend asking the retailer if the set is digital signal ready before making a purchase.
According to the Carbon site, the set top boxes for those televisions without digital tuners run approximately $200 dollars at local retailers and up-state.
The United States government has sold off television channels 51 through 69, for cell phone usage. The new digital TV technology is not affected like analog TV by other television transmitters outside a given distance which lets the same amount of bandwidth be used for numerous channels.
While broadcasting companies are being forced by the FCC to change over to the digital format it will come at no cost to the viewing public and will dramatically enhance the quality of television for all those who enjoy over the air broadcast.
Multicasting is a new technology that allows several programs to be broadcast simultaneously.
"Just as a museum cannot display all of its collections at one time, a broadcaster has many more hours of programming and services than it has airtime," said the Utah education site. "Through multicasting broadcasters have the ability to broadcast a children's program and at the same time that it airs workforce training or a college course can also be shown."
According to the site, most of the state is ready to make the transfer to digital broadcasting and Carbon County is leading the way.

Brothers (2008)
Drama, Family
Two brothers that everything drives apart except the fact that they're both Jews, meet again in Israel after years of silence. Dan chooses to work on the land, living in a kibbutz in the south of Israel. Aaron, his brother is a doctor of law and philosophy and a distinguished scholar of the Torah. He comes to Jerusalem from the United States to defend the rights of Torah students. The conflict which arises between the two brothers reflects that of a society torn between its religious and political principles. With restrictions on the increase and injustices multiplying, Israel today is on the brink of civil war.

This week I have a fun topic - do you remember your first computer? It might have been a computer in an office or the first one you (or your parents) bought, but what is the very first one you can recall? I am really interested to see what others remember because it's going to be very different for all of us depending on our ages.
|This is similar to the machine I used
I was one of three assistants to the Chief Accountant for all of Canada and part of my job was to take care of payroll as a keypunch operator. I had to create and manage punch cards on an IBM punch machine.
I hated this part of my job but twice a week I had to walk to another building where all the tech toys were, and enter my little
The guys running the computer and other machines thought it was cool that I was so intrigued and interested so they showed me how the machines worked and actually let me try them out (easy to do since my boss was in a separate building!)
I think that's when I fell in love with technology and computers! But it wasn't until I was in the 70s that I actually got to use the prototype for the first IBM home computer. My brother-in-law had one in his home for testing purposes and he encouraged me to use it.
It was all DOS of course but he let me play an Adventure Game (text on DOS) by hooking me into an office in California. I played it all day and when he got home from work he almost fainted, because the entire time I was online it was via the telephone and long distance charges from Ontario Canada to California. Oh boy....
|Tandy TRS-80
It was huge. It was clunky. And it was loud with a printer hooked up to it.

What a change from now! I've had so many computers since my first one that I honestly don't remember them all. I wish I did. I wish I had photos of them, what a historical archive of technology that would make!
What was your first computer and what do you remember best about any others you had or saw?

Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and 19 other state attorneys general have asked the Federal Trade Commission to take a hard look at how alcohol advertising may promote underage drinking. The comments were sent after the FTC asked whether it should collect information from alcohol advertisers about marketing, sales and the alcohol industry's self-imposed regulatory codes.
"We believe the current industry standard overexposes youth to alcohol advertising and think this is unacceptable," said Shurtleff. "If you're going to apply a standard in order to avoid overexposing youth to alcohol advertising, then that standard should have some real meaning."
The most recent research has demonstrated a link between exposure to alcohol advertising and increased drinking behavior by underage drinkers.
"Young people are starting to drink at an earlier age and drinking more aggressively than ever before," said Maine Attorney General Steve Rowe. "We are troubled by this growing thirst for alcohol among young people. We believe this thirst is driven by a culture of drinking created in part by alcohol industry marketing." He added that children who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcoholism than those who begin drinking at 21.
The attorneys general said the FTC should ask alcohol advertisers about the amount of money spend and where they spend it. For instance, advertisers should explain how much is spent on TV and radio ads compared to movie product placement or college and bar promotions. The alcohol industry currently operates under a series of voluntary standards, all of which require that advertising be placed only when at least 70 percent of the audience is 21 or older.

MORRISTOWN - Cattlemans, a former restaurant that village residents have hoped to see make a comeback, is being aggressively marketed by owner Mahlon T. Clements in hopes of finding a new owner.
The restaurant last year was nearly purchased and reopened by a Syracuse restaurateur, but that deal fell through.
The restaurant has been empty since the summer of 2013 after a brief spell when it was run by John G. Hagopian.
Syracuse resident Michael J. Kinney held a public meeting in December seeking input from town residents about whether they wanted the restaurant to reopen and how they would like to see it operate.
Mr. Kinney ran the restaurant in 2003 and 2004 and said he was excited by the possibility of buying it from Mr. Clements and making it the St. Lawrence River-front destination of his dreams.
Its got a million-dollar view, Mr. Kinney said in December of the restaurant that overlooks the Morristown Bay and the St. Lawrence River.
Despite an outpouring of community support for the project, it was not to be. Mr. Kinney said he had to cancel his plans due to family commitments in Syracuse.
I was heartbroken, he said. I really wanted to come back.
Mr. Clements said the restaurants location is a prime selling point, and said its a shame to see the place sit vacant.
Listed at $375,000, Mr. Clements said he is willing to consider any reasonable offer for the building and he would be willing to rent it again to the right person.
Running a restaurant properly is hard work and it takes some skills. he said.
Several people have approached Mr. Clements about the building.
Mr. Clements has owned the property for more than a decade and after a short time running the restaurant himself he has leased it to others.
I got involved [with the property] for the same reason that everyone else did: we really need a great restaurant in the community and its a great location, Mr. Clements said.
The bottom line: Weve got to get it open, he said. This is a beautiful view.

Don't scoop after your pooch poops? Doggie DNA will get you
A pooch pooping. Gross, yes, but it's a fact of life and what's left behind isn't always picked up.
CREATED Apr 26, 2012
Reporter: Kevin Keen
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - You see it and smell it along sidewalks, on trails and in your favorite park. It is dog poop and the worst part is when you notice you just stepped in it. Now, a 21st century solution to the long-time problem of owners who don't pick up after their pooches. The same technology used to catch criminals can track down dog owners guilty of laziness.
After your pooch poops, you scoop it up. Right?
"Oh, yeah. Every time," Glen Kurz, owner of Jagger, told 9 On Your Side. "I've got two bags right here and I carry a scooper around when we're at home. They won't ever find his on the ground. In the dumpster--that's where we put it."
9 On Your Side reporter Kevin Keen asked Jean Young, "Are there owners out there who don't clean up after their dogs?" "Yes," the owner of Scooby Do and Peek-A-Boo answered. "It's very irritating."
"It's part of owning a dog," added Lee Marcucci, who owns Buddy. "You have to pick up after them."
"Are most dog owners responsible in that respect?" Keen asked Kathy Lillibridge, Cody's owner. "I like to think so, but--" Keen finished her sentence, "--but there sure is a lot of poop around here." Lillibridge agreed, "There is a lot."
Now, a high-tech and eco-friendly solution to put inattentive owners in deep doo-doo. It's called PooPrints and it could spread to a neighborhood near you. The company works with an apartment building, homeowners association or private dog park to collect the DNA of every canine that goes there.
How do you take a dog's DNA? By swabbing its cheek. PooPrints then creates a DNA profile for every doggie.
Later, when an owner doesn't pick up, a sample of the poop is sent to a lab in a leak-proof container.
"It only takes a little tiney bit so it's very clean, very quick, very easy to collect," said Eric Mayer, business development director at BioPet Vet Lab, which owns PooPrints. "They mail it to our lab and we take care of the rest."
Tests reveal the canine culprit. How the owner's punished is up to the apartment building or association. It could be a fine or just a scolding. The terms would be made clear to owners beforehand and could be printed in a lease, for example.
So, are owners wagging their tails at the idea?
"I'm all for it," Kurz said. "I would let them test my dog."
"You hate to see it go that far," said Charles Lillibridge, married to Kathy. "It probably would curtail some of that behavior."
"I think it sounds like a waste of time, really," Young said. "People just have to be more responsible."
"It's a little elaborate," Marcucci said. "Sounds like for the cost of that, they could just have the poop picked up."
How much does it cost? There's a flat fee to get started: 30 bucks a pup. The kit to send in a sample is $10 and it's $50 to process. But PooPrints says clients are already paying up to deal with this problem.
"They'll take a look at their current costs that they have for things like their maintenance staff, things like landscaping and repairs to the carpet. Stuff like that," Mayer said in a video chat. "And actually what they're finding is they're saving a lot of money by switching the PooPrints program."
"The majority of the properties that use PooPrints right now--they don't even send it waste samples because the property becomes clean within just a couple of weeks of having the program in place," Mayer added.
There aren't any two-legged clients in Southern Arizona yet. Would groups consider it? 9 On Your Side asked Bob Ritcher, president of the Midvale Park Homeowners Association, which represents 4,000 Tucson homes.
"If the idea would be that the association would be pay $30 for every dog in Midvale, which could easily be well more than 4,000 with the number of households even though every household doesn't have a dog," Ritcher said. "I would say it's not reasonable or an expectation that the association would be anywhere near willing to do that." He added the association would still consider it if presented a proposal.
PooPrints or not, Southern Arizona will have to continue hoping dogs owners do their duty.
"I just try not to step in it," said Matt Morris, whose dog's name is Morris.
PooPrints plans to open an office in Phoenix in June.

Fans of Ron Paul, by now used to his airtime snubs in primary debates run by the mainstream media, were no doubt pleasantly surprised when their candidate's unconventional foreign policy stance garnered a significant amount of time late in Thursday evening's Iowa debate. Along the same lines, supporters of former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum were treated to their choice's spirited opposition to Paul, resulting in a net gain of more screen time for him as well, although Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) did get in a few jabs of her own.
"Asked by Fox News channel anchor Chris Wallace why Paul was 'soft' on Iran in his opposition to economic sanctions against the country, Paul told the debate audience that the threat from Iran was small when looked at through the lens of history," read a The New American article, noting that Paul had "schooled" Santorum and Bachmann.
Paul said: "Just think of what we went through in the Cold War when I was in the Air Force, after I was drafted into the Air Force, all through the Sixties. We were standing up against the Soviets. They had like 30,000 nuclear weapons with intercontinental missiles. Just think of the agitation and the worry about a country that might get a nuclear weapon someday."
The article reports that Santorum took offense with Paul's stance, having himself authored a sanctions bill against Iran while serving as a Senator: "Iran is not Iceland, Ron. Iran is a country that has been at war with us since 1979. Iran is a country that has killed more American men and women in uniform in Iraq and Afghanistan than the Iraqis and the Afghans have. The Iranians are the existential threat to the state of Israel."
"The senator is wrong on his history," Paul responded. "We've been at war in Iran for a lot longer than '79. We started it in 1953 when we sent in a coup, installed the Shah, and the reaction — the blowback — came in 1979. It's been going on and on because we just don't mind our own business. That's our problem."
Bachmann later defended Santorum and, pointing out her position on the House Select Committee on Intelligence, said: "As President of the United States, I will do everything to make sure that Iran does not become a nuclear power."
However, at least one person believes Paul came out on top of the rhetorical skirmish. Conservative commentator Jack Hunter thinks Ron Paul is "right on Iran," writing: "Ron Paul is the only candidate that has pointed out that the last time America went to war with a supposed major threat in the Middle East over the possibility it was harboring terrorists and might have WMDs — every justification for that war turned out to be absolutely false."

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
I've always been a fan of Fender Mustang basses. One of my first decent basses was a Mustang back in the late 1970's. So, I bought one of these and a Mikey Way Mustang--both great basses.
This bass plays well, sounds good, and the short scale is great for small, old hands like mine. It is, of course, faster playing as well. The DD pickup sounds really good. But when I first got it, after I set it up, it still sounded a bit dead, muffled, and indistinct to me (similar to flatwound strings). I've been around that block before many times and I knew it wasn't the bass--it was just dead strings (from the factory, no less!). So I put a new set of D'Addario Stainless steel strings on it and it sounds killer. If I want a more muffled sound, well, that's what the tone knob is for.
If you restring yours, you might want to get heavier strings. I'm not sure why they always string short scale basses with lighter strings. They are just too floppy. Put 105s or bigger on it and you'll get a great feel--not super tight, but then again, not floppy.
Anyway, great bass. If you like Mustang basses and their sound, you'll certainly like this one.
Oh... by the way. The fret ends sticking out has more to do with your humidity than poor workmanship. If you live in a dry area, it's going to happen. The wood dries, shrinks... and the frets do not. It can happen on $3000 basses as well. Easy fix. It's called a concave fret file and it takes 10 minutes to fix if you know what you're doing.

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
I'm 61 years old and was having trouble playing my 6 string ESP. I sold it and purchased the Squier because of the positive reviews on the MF site. I didn't want to pony up for Fender Mustang Bass. I called about a used one and was offered the new one at a discounted price. Kudos to MF.
The quality is very good, the sound is great, the neck is fast and the short scale makes it a pleasure to play. The factory setup was spot on with a low action and proper intonation.
The original strings were slightly loose when tuned. They played ok. I changed the strings to GHS_3020 GHS Precision Flats, short light. I had to trim some of the silk so it wouldn't interfere with the nut. They sound warm, mellow, have a great feel and are firmer on the neck. Great for the music our church band plays. I may try some half rounds next time.
Very satisfied with the sound, quality and look of my new bass. I also have a MIM P-Bass, and a Fender T-Bucket, Grand Concert Acoustic Bass. The Squier is the easiest to play.

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand so it's pretty hard for me to play full scale bass. I took a chance buying this short scale bass and to my surprise it's very good and most importantly easy on my wrist.
Setup was okay from the factory, but I tweaked it a little for my personal preferences. I have noticed other reviewers saying that the frets protrude from sides of the neck but I have not had this problem.
The Duncan Designed pickup is great. I love the sound I'm getting from it. I immediately junked the Fender strings and installed flatwounds. The pickup really brings out the warmth of the flats quite well. With a little mid boost on my amp I'm getting a tone I just can't get enough of. As far as stings go I recommend installing the heaviest gauge you can stand playing. Due to the short scale, I was having an issue with low tension (floppy E string, mainly). I installed 55-110s and it's mostly gone. The strings are nice and tight now just like a standard scale bass.
This thing sustains forever, too. The baswood is very resonant. When I'm playing I can feel the note ringing through the body. I really like that.
Two minor things I don't like: the maple neck and only a two color choices. I would have preferred a rosewood neck and a vintage white body with a tortoise pickguard. It's not a huge deal. I may purchase a Fender pickguard for it later on which comes in a tortoise pattern, just to dress it up a bit. Black on black is pretty bland in my opinion.
Overall this is a great bass. If you're just starting out I highly recommend getting a bass somewhere around this quality/pricepoint. Anything less and it won't be enjoyable to play, which means you won't want to learn. This thing is a joy to play. I look forward to picking it up after work every day, and that definitely says something. Junk the Fender strings and do a quick setup if you'd like and you're good to go!

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
I like this bass. I have never owned a Squier before, but have owned several Fender Strats, Teles, and a P-Bass. Honestly, I think this Squier is just as well made as any Fender. My first short-scale bass, I can no longer hold a full-size bass, and it is a good size. But it is heavy, and the back should be sculpted for more comfort. But for the price, you can't go wrong. I don't like Fender strings, and I am going to re-string it with Rotosounds as soon as I finish this review.
Best Uses
Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
I got this since I injured my wrists and can no longer play long scale basses.
All in all it's not bad, but it could be better.
Neck feels okay I guess, least it feels fast, some of the frets protrude from the side of the fretboard on the higher frets, but I don't really notice it when playing. Also would be nice if it came with a rosewood fretboard rather than maple. Maple makes it a little too bright sounding.
Pickup is the best part about the bass. It gives some really good high/mids and some decent lows. The DD pup's output is really good. Stronger then i expected.
The Basswood doesn't seem as soft as your typical basswood so maybe Squier decided to use a higher grade with this bass.
The tone is Fender-ish. Not as close as some other VM/CV basses or guitars, but close enough till I can get a real Fender.
Strings have got to go!!!
I do not understand why Fender puts steel strings on their basses. They are way too bright and sound terrible to my ears.
Overall not too bad, needs some improvements to be on par with other VM/CV Squier basses. Still fun to play though.
Best Uses
Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
This is the bass I have been searching for as long as I have been playing. It is basicliy a small Precision body with a short scale, slim taper jazz neck. I like the neck almost completely straight, and the action extremely low. That said, it didn't take long to get my settings the way I like. I've owned my share of basses over the years over the years, and this one really delivers!
Best Uses
Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
I recently "downgraded" from an AVRI '62 P-Bass to this Squier Mustang. I gotta say, it feels more like an upgrade. The fit and finish on the Squier are terrific, the setup and intonation are dead on, the neck is comfortable, the controls are smooth and the instrument is completely noise-free. Tone-wise, it's got a great chunky P-Bass tone, especially when played with a pick using flatwounds. But guess what? This thing SUSTAINS forever too. Not what you'd expect for a cheap short scale. I had planned to upgrade the electronics, but when I opened 'er up, I noticed the pots were Alpha minis and the cap looked to be of better quality than the usual flat ceramic disc ones.
The only cons I can think of were that the fretboard edges were a little sharp, the chrome plating is a bit cheap (but when does that really matter?), and it's not as light as some Squier basses I've played (it's certainly not heavy though). I recommend this particularly to those who are considering ponying up for the MIJ Mustang bass. It's just not worth the extra four to five hundred dollars, unless you absolutely must have a rosewood fretboard. Otherwise, the Squier is the one to beat.
Best Uses
Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
The setup was very good from the factory. I don't like roundwounds so I put a set of Chromes ECB 81 M's medium scale strings on it. Made all the difference in the world. The weight and balance are very comfortable, and the playability is great. I have a room full of basses, and this little dude is rapidly becoming my favorate. It did take a little pushing and twisting to get the Chromes through the string holes on the bottom, but well worth the effort. I have a few short scale basses that cost a couple of grand each, but this one is a steal at the price.
Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
This Squier Mustang bass would make a good starter bass, especially for kids younger than 16. The maple neck is nice and it was set up well from the factory with only a small bit of fret buzz, but nothing too bad. The tone straight away is good for a short scale bass, and has pretty good variability from the Seymore Duncan P-style pickup. If you're looking for a passive bolt-on short scale bass, it's hard to beat this Squier for the price. The instrument is surprisingly well put together and appears to be sturdy (as opposed to some Chinese products I've seen.) I use this for practice through a 50W amplifier and the short neck really makes it easy to play quickly and accurately.
Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass Guitar:
In sum:
What I like --versatility, design, playability, neck feel, and body finish.
Two things I wish I could change -- the finish on the neck is very pale and pasty -- aesthetically it really needs some warmth -- ideally I'd prefer a rosewood fretboard.
The pickguard scratches if you look at it. I now wish I hadn't taken off the plastic cover (but it had some bubbles so...). Not sure if this is common with all pickguards or just shows more on the black. Utlimately, it's a very MINOR point almost not worth mentioning.
Has all the features I would expect from a Mustang.
As a former guitarist, this short-scale bass has a very nice feel and playability. The construction is solid from the finish to the joints and electronics. It is responsive to articulations and I am able to elicit a nice variety of sounds from the instrument.
I am sure one would find deficiencies if they stacked the Squier Mustang up against a five times the price bass, but I would be hard pressed to fault it in comparison to my MIM some MIA Fenders. It is not simply a cheap bass-shaped-object -- it's a solid instrument.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - It's been almost two weeks since Grand Rapids Public Schools released its proposal to close ten schools, and much of the focus has been on Creston High School. Now, we're learning more about what's likely to happen with Creston if it does close.
At a meeting for parents Thursday night, GRPS Superintendent Teresa Weatherall Neal spoke about closing Creston, as well as other parts of her transformation plan.
Under a new scenario the school board is considering, the City High-Middle School campus would close, and the district would move city's 690 students into the Creston building.
City High-Middle School is what Grand Rapids Public Schools calls the region's top academic high school, and it is overflowing with talent -- literally.
"It is currently packed full," says GRPS spokesman John Helmholdt.
Nearly 700 students in grades six through 12 attend the school. Neal says a very viable option is to close the building, and move the school into Creston, which currently has room for 1,400 students.
"It allows students to have more room. They can do labs, they can do other things they might not have at their other building," says the superintendent.
Those other things include sports, which is high on the priority list for some City students.
"We get a pool, and sports teams probably," says Kobe Brown, a City High Middle School freshman.
"For the most part, everyone's excited to possibly move buildings," says sophomore Emily Smith.
But for the school to be sustainable, the City High Middle School program would have to grow.
"We would look at increasing the number of students at City," says Neal.
In one option, Creston and City students would not be on the same campus. Creston students would be moved to other schools or would have to apply for the program to stay at the campus, just like everyone else in the county.
Money the district saves from closing Creston would be pumped into accepting more high caliber students.
"We've heard loud and clear from City High Middle parents that they believe we need to maintain the integrity of that program, which has that academic rigor," says Helmholdt.
"I think it's good for the students here at City. Bigger facility obviously and I know a lot transfer there for sports," says Darcy Flowers, a City mom.
"I think eventually it would be just a whole bunch of kids coming together," said Brown.
Helmholdt says another option the school board is considering is to keep Creston High School open, but with only 300 to 400 students. GRPS would also operate City High Middle School in the Creston building. The big question is how to administer two schools in one.
Superintendent Neal will present her final recommendation to the school board on November 19.

If the greater Watertown area becomes a Metropolitan Statistical Area, as city and county officials expect will happen in the next year, housing development and availability could be adversely affected, according to Gary C. Beasley, executive director of Neighbors of Watertown.
The economics of buying, renovating and renting properties will undergo significant changes based on a shift in the formula used to determine how state and federal funds are distributed in the area.
Municipalities throughout Jefferson County, including the city of Watertown, receive funds based on the statewide median household income for non-metropolitan areas, which is $54,500. If the greater Watertown area becomes a metropolitan area, eligibility for funds will be based on the median income within the Watertown area, which will be significantly less: about $30,000, according to Mr. Beasley.
Its gonna hurt, he said.
The new benchmark could greatly reduce the number of people eligible for income-driven affordable housing programs.
People who have been on waiting lists all of a sudden will become ineligible, Mr. Beasley said.
Residents qualify for affordable housing on a sliding scale from 30 percent to 80 percent of the income standard.
Residents are eligible for one of the major affordable housing programs, the low income tax credit, at 60 percent of allowable income. Under the old formula, the income cap is $32,000; under the new standard, it would fall to $24,000.
The new formula will hurt developers, too.
Many developers take advantage of the tax-credit program to renovate buildings for use as rental properties. Under the requirements of the program, the landlord must rent to households that are at 60 percent of median income or less.
The program is designed both to provide affordable housing and to improve rental housing stock in the community, according to Mr. Beasley.
At the current standard of $54,500, the most a landlord can charge a tenant for rent is $817.50 per month. At the local median household income of about $30,000, the most a landlord could charge would be about $600 per month.
According to Mr. Beasley, the formula will greatly reduce the amount of money developers and landlords can put toward buying and renovating properties such as the proposed Woolworth project, which developers have said would offer affordable housing.
With 50 units, the building would generate $130,000 less each year if the income cap changes, representing a huge reduction in money that could be put toward maintenance and upkeep of the property.
On a positive note, the county and city recently received substantial grants from the Community Development Block Grant Program for housing: $750,000 and $400,000, respectively.
The $750,000 grant received by the county is the maximum allowed by law and is the largest award for the county in the last several years, Mr. Beasley said. The amount of money received is based upon the success the program has had in providing money for programs such as owner-occupied rehabilitation, which helps residents stay in their homes by making necessary upgrades.
As the principle city of the MSA, the money received by Watertown from the Community Development Block Grant Program is expected to increase if the designation comes through as expected.
According to city Planning and Community Development Coordinator Kenneth A. Mix, the designation likely will make the city an entitlement community under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Instead of requiring the city to reapply for grants annually, HUD would provide a set amount of funds each year determined by a formula based upon population and poverty levels.
For the city, that amount likely will be much greater than the $400,000 received in 2012.
At the end of the day, the area may benefit from the shift in formulas. However, that is something that remains to be seen.
There are some positive aspects and some negative aspects from our standpoint, Mr. Mix said. In some cases we will get more funding and in some cases it might cost us more money.
There are a lot of trade-offs, Mr. Beasley said.
The greater Watertown area was declared an urbanized area in 2012 based on data from the 2010 census, triggering a series of mandates that also affect transportation and environmental programs.
According to Watertown City Engineer Kurt W. Hauk, theres a significant amount of work involved in bringing the urbanized area into compliance with storm water regulations mandated by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
All storm water sewers throughout the urbanized area will fall under the umbrella of a Municipal Separate Storm Water System, created to prevent contaminated runoff from precipitation from entering local water bodies untreated.
It is a matter that will have to be sorted out among the municipalities, which may have to front their own money to improve their systems.
Officials dont know at this point what state and federal funds will be available to bring the storm water sewer systems of individual municipalities up to standard with the MS4. Mr. Hauk said that information should become available in the coming months.

Recent Mountaineering Boot Reviews
Lowa Civetta GTX Extreme
Another incredible product from LOWA. I've been looking for this boots for years for their warmth, construction, crampon compatibility. With this I've found all of the above. This boot is warm and indestructible, it wears well and I've had "no" break-in period. I train at Mount Washington, N.H., and I need extremely warm items and this fits the bill. Hopefully I'll be able to test them in Nepal in Spring 2016. Also, I have the Grivel G20 crampon and I've had no problems with the step-in's. Full review
Salewa Men's Rapace GTX
Lightweight, good fit, should be a sturdy backpacking boot that also climbs well. I just purchased these and have yet to put them through a full season. I was seeking a backpacking boot with a firm but not rigid sole that will walk and handle long approaches well, and that will also take crampons and climb and handle off trail work well. I expect these to be a lighter and more comfortable alternative to a pair of old leather Garmonts that had fit the bill for many years, but that needed to be retired. Full review
Galibier Super Guide
I have had these boots more than 40 years. When people tell you they last they are telling you the truth. I have had these Super Guides resoled three times. Rebuilt once. My only regret is I let them talk me into using 3/4 shank instead of full shank. Consequently they aren't as good in vertical rough terrain as they used to be. I coated them with Snow Seal when they were brand new and numerous times since then. My feet have never been wet in these boots. I have different size feet and was lucky… Full review
Kayland 8001
It's an outdated model from Kayland. They took these from the production line two years ago, if I am not mistaken. I bought the boots from a Spanish ebayer who was liquidating his mountain gear store two months ago. They looked solid and well build when I took em right out of the box. Having a double boot which is a first time for me, made me think my feet will never get cold until I snuggle in my sleeping bag and indeed, I was very comfortable when I wore em during a 4000+ m summit attempt last… Full review

Despite being called Nepal Extreme these boots are NOT suitable for use in EXTREME conditions in NEPAL or elsewhere. Two of our team wearing them suffered frostbite wearing these boots at 5930 metres in Nepal. Despite the very misleading name these boots are not recommended for use over 4000 metres. On a recent trip to Nepal at 5930 metres the only two people wearing these boots suffered frostbite requiring hospital treatment.

Salomon S-Lab X Alp Carbon GTX
Good for three-season mountaineering from trail head to summit. Now you don't need approach shoes any more. Light is fast and fast is safer. Review The weight and stiffness of mountaineering boots make them something I put on with reluctance and only when absolutely needed. For instance, to avoid wearing the big boots I hiked to Camp Muir on Mt. Rainier in Gore-Tex trail runners before donning the big boots to finish the trip. Conventional mountaineering boots are big, clunky and too stiff for trail… Full review
Koflach Degre
Excellent boots. Easy to maintain. Light. Robust. Used for Search and Rescue in UK. Brought those boots to use them on the winter for Search and Rescue. They are a bit overkill for UK, but the low maintenance costs are the plus side. Used them on Scotland when climbed Ben Nevis and proven again that Koflach still remains a strong boot for the serious climber. Six out of five stars. Full review

Courtney A.Seattle, WAHairDark BrownOily HairDry HairFine or Thin HairWish I Could Find A Cheaper Alternative!This is the absolute best shampoo I have ever tried. Even though I don't have color treated hair, I LOVED this for the shine. It seemed to help my natural highlights really show during the summer, and my hair looked so shiny and healthy that strangers actually would come up and comment on my 'healthy' hair. I had never had this happen with anything else.
I didn't even need to use blow-dry serums or heat protectants, it simply helped my hair look amazing on its own (I did use the conditioner with it though of course.)
The scent was wonderfully perfumed. I suppose if you want a shampoo without sulfates etc, then this wouldn't be the thing for you. But it gave me celebrity-like results! I so wish this wasn't so expensive, as I only get it when I can catch a sale in salons. For those that can afford it, it's definitely worth the splurge.
I can't say enough about the healthy-looking young-hair results you get. I may only be 22, but my hair was like a child's again!
