A longtime campaign consultant has decided to jump into politics himself. Jeff Cramerding announced today that he will seek the Democratic nomination to run for Hamilton County treasurer next year.
Cramerding, 38, of Price Hill, is a local attorney who has served as a consultant to numerous area politicians, mostly Democrats and Charterites. They include Denise Driehaus, David Pepper, Jody Luebbers and Chris Bortz.
A Charter Committee leader says the group wasn't aware that one of its endorsed candidates — who also happens to be a Charter board member — was seeking the Democratic Party's endorsement.
But Charter chairwoman Dawn Denno said Yvette Simpson, the board member who's running for Cincinnati City Council this fall, won't have to give up her Charter endorsement. Simpson can remain cross-endorsed in the race because she first sought Charter's endorsement, Denno added.
One of the most common complaints among many residents over the decades is that Big Business controls City Hall and municipal government, not citizens. Although some officials have denied it, that seems to be the case when it comes to who will be the next city councilperson.
A sanitation worker has filed an incident report with Cincinnati Police alleging City Councilman Chris Bortz threatened him and used a racial slur while doing so.
The alleged incident occurred Thursday morning outside of Bortz' townhouse in Mount Adams, when the worker blew the horn on his garbage truck a few times because the vehicle's path was blocked by the councilman's parked car.
He might not have won in November's Cincinnati City Council elections, but Kevin Flynn has scored a victory elsewhere.
Flynn, who ran unsuccessfully as a Charterite in the 2009 and 2011 council elections, has been selected as the president of the group that endorsed him. The Charter Committee of Greater Cincinnati announced today that Flynn has been elected president of the organization, taking over for Dawn Denno, who didn't seek reelection.
Flynn is a real-estate attorney from Mount Airy who also teaches at the University of Cincinnati's law school. He has been confined to a wheelchair since a serious automobile accident in 2002.
During his first campaign in 2009 Flynn placed 13th among 19 candidates in council elections. The top nine vote-getters are elected to the group.
Last year Flynn finished in 11th place — ahead of three incumbents who lost reelection — among 22 candidates.
Flynn is excited about the new position.
"When we see the high level of partisan politics in our national and state governments, I appreciate the independent, creative leadership Charter fosters in our city," he said in a prepared statement. "The Charter Committee will continue to focus on bringing the best governance to Cincinnati, including thoughtful changes to the city's Charter, and to support a budget and budget process which serves the best interests of the citizens of Cincinnati."
Formed in 1924, the Charter Committee helped end the corrupt political machine operated by "Boss" George Cox, a Republican who dominated City Hall and local politics, arranging tasks like fixing tax rates for friends and contributors.
Charter successfully pushed to create the city manager form of government, which was designed to depoliticize the daily administrative tasks of municipal government.
Three activists associated with The Cincinnati Beacon blog have lodged a formal complaint with the city's attorneys today, alleging some City Council members "behaved secretly and in contradiction of the charter" during a recent budget dispute.
Also, other critics are researching whether the council members' action violated state law.
Hamilton County has been killing people more often than Ohio counties of similar size, despite actually asking for the death penalty less often. Today's Enquirer takes a look at the growing opposition to the death
penalty in other states and recent legislation and task forces aimed
at either studying its effectiveness or stopping the practice
altogether. Prosecutor Joe Deters says he's going to kill all the people who deserve it because the law is still the law.
Would you like to pay tolls or higher gas taxes in order to have a new Brent Spence Bridge? No? Then you're like a majority of people who take the time to respond to Enquirer polls.
City Manager Milton Dohoney plans to ask City Council to raise the property tax rate in response to a projected $33 million 2013 deficit that everyone knows was coming.
The Community Press on the East Side says Norfolk Southern is willing to consider selling the Wasson Way right of way that some would like to see turned into a bike trail. CityBeat in March found the proposed trail to have support among cycling enthusiasts but some resistance from light rail supporters.
President Obama hooked up an 11-year-old kid with a note excusing him from class on Friday.
"He says, 'Do you want me to write an excuse note? What's your teacher's name?" Sullivan told ABC. "And I say, Mr. Ackerman. And he writes, 'Please excuse Tyler. He was with me. Barack Obama, the president.'"
Fortune magazine has taken exception to Mitt Romney's recent criticism of Solyndra, the solar panel company that went out of business despite a $500 million Department of Energy loan.
So last Thursday Romney held a surprise press conference at Solyndra's shuttered headquarters. During his prepared statement, Romney said:
"An independent inspector general looked at this investment and concluded that the Administration had steered money to friends and family and campaign contributors."
Romney then repeated the claim later in the press conference.
Small problem: No inspector general ever "concluded" such a thing, at least not based on any written reports or public statements.
Wisconsin Gov./Union Crusher Scott Walker holds a slight lead over his Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, according to a recent poll.
George Zimmerman is back in jail after what his attorney is calling a misunderstanding over telling a judge that he had limited money even though a website set up to fund his legal defense raised more than $135,000.
Legal issues will be involved in New
York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's attempt to ban giant sodas.
Jason Alexander has released a lengthy and quite thoughtful apology for referring to the sport of cricket as "a bit gay" during a recent appearance on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson.
Why do people on the West Coast get to see all the cool stuff that happens in space? First the eclipse and now the Transit of Venus, when Venus will cross paths between the sun and earth. Next time it will happen is 2117. And Australia got to see a partial lunar eclipse the other day, too.
Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls will be formally announcing her run for the top spot in Cincinnati on Thursday.
Qualls' campaign site has been up for some time already, and the vice mayor's team had a meeting with political writers and bloggers on Nov. 26.
The vice mayor will be joined by current term-limited Mayor Mark Mallory, implying his support for her mayoral run. The event is taking place at 10 a.m. at Core Clay, Inc., a small women-owned business in Walnut Hills.
Qualls, who is endorsed by both the Democratic Party and Charter Committee, previously served as mayor from 1993-1999 after serving in Cincinnati City Council from 1991-1993. She returned to council in 2007.
Former city councilman John Cranley, also a Democrat, is also running for mayor. Cranley served on council between 2001 and 2007. His campaign will officially launch in January and former mayor Charlie Luken will serve as the honorary chair.
Republican Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners President Greg Hartmann is also considering a run for mayor, but hasn't made a formal announcement.
Cincinnati has an open mayoral primary, which means that the top two vote-getters will run against each other in the general election, regardless of party affiliation.

Have your nails gone soft on you? Are they brittle and weak? Having pretty nails is more than simply applying a coat of nail polish. It involves caring for them properly to encourage a healthy state of being. After all, the condition of your nails affects how smooth your nail polish will look and how long it will last. The application of a quality base coat also determines the longevity and appearance of your nail polish. Properly caring for the nails and cuticles is important if you want to create beautiful nails before and after the application of your nail polish. Additionally, it is important to use a quality nail polish remover in between applications to create a clean surface to which you can apply your base coat such as Dermelect Cosmeceuticals Base Coat, because it enables smoother application of the polish.
Dermelect Cosmeceuticals Base Coat strengthens and protects your nails. Dermelect Cosmeceuticals Base Coat is infused with a peptide ingredient taken from New Zealand wool through protein biotechnology. This ingredient offers the amino acids that are so critical to good nail health.
If you love to paint your nails, then you'll also love two incredible nail products put out by Dermelect Cosmeceuticals. Your nails need a bit of encouragement from time to time, especially as you age or after they have been through hundreds of mail polish applications. Using a quality, high performing base coat can help to restore the health of your nails, while also providing a smooth landing and attractive appearance for your nail polish. Both of the following Dermelect Cosmeceuticals Base Coat products are designed to give your nails back a bit of what they have lost over the years, strengthening and revitalizing their natural condition.
Do you wish you could restore the healthy condition of your nails and refresh their prettiness? You can have longer nails that are healthier and stronger when you include Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener in your nail care regimen. Infused with protein-peptide technology that hydrates and strengthens your nails, this formula delivers a fast-drying solution that helps to prevent splitting, dullness, and brittleness. Even stubborn nails will benefit from the qualities of the amino acids in the keratin protein included in this product.
Have your nails lost their smooth appearance and replaced it with ridges and discolorations? Are they dry and dehydrated, two conditions that can add to the lackluster appearance of your nails? A revolutionary product designed to strengthen your nails while helping to smooth over unsightly ridges is available. Infused with ProSina, a peptide ingredient, Dermelect Makeover Ridge Filler helps to restore the natural health of your nails while refreshing their innate flexibility.

Germantown - The debate went round and round Monday as the Germantown Village Board weighed whether a traffic signal or a roundabout should be installed at the intersection of Fond du Lac Avenue and Donges Bay Road.
In a 6-2 vote, the Village Board approved the roundabout project presented by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, which will fund most of the construction work.
Trustees Art Zabel and Melvin Ewert adamantly opposed the roundabout, citing residents' objection and calling the roundabout an inappropriate feature for that part of the village.
The DOT proposed the roundabout at Donges Bay and Fond du Lac, also known as State Highway 145, for 2016 to mitigate crashes and maintain a steady traffic flow. The highway is seeing an increase in traffic.
Roundabout less costly
The state has agreed to fund the construction of a roundabout, which is a less expensive option than an intersection. Had the board voted to put in a signal, the cost would have fallen entirely on the village.
"I'm having a difficult time agreeing to put money in a project that the state has agreed to take on," said Village President Dean Wolter, when an initial motion was made to approve a signal and not a roundabout. "With us choosing to go to a signalized intersection, aren't we also choosing to take on the added responsibility of the added traffic accidents that will occur there based on signalization verses roundabout? As a village are we willing to take that on?
"Because, as a board, that's what we're choosing to do - and also choosing to add costs."
Zabel said he believes the round about is designed larger than it needs to be and was created to appear less expensive than a signal.
After a lengthy debate, the first motion for a signalized intersection failed 6-3.
Emmanuel Yartey, project manager with the DOT, said his staff plans projects based on development, and they designed this project after thorough engineering work. The DOT determined a roundabout is the best option, based on projections for the area.
Zabel continued to disagree, saying a signalized intersection is more fitting for that area.
"I firmly believe this intersection is better served by a controlled traffic light, especially if the village, in the future, decides we are going to place a fire station in that northeast corner on the land that we own," he said.
It all comes down to cost
Zabel recommended using tax-incremental financing funds to pay for the cost of putting in a signal instead of a roundabout. Wolter disagreed, noting that TIF funds, typically targeted for redevelopment, have better uses than paying to take over a project the state has agreed to fund.
The village would also have to pay maintenance and energy costs with a signal, Director of Public Works Dan Ludwig said, a small but continuing cost.
Though not a huge fan of roundabouts, Trustee Terri Kaminski said she is more in favor of the roundabout option based on the information provided.
"If it's going to cost the village more, why would I want to do that? It's going to be the taxpayers paying for the signalized intersection," she said. "If the state wants to put the roundabout in, and I believe the roundabout would definitely be safer, then why not?"
Ewert, who voted against the roundabout, said the state will push a roundabout one way or another, saying the village wasn't really being given a choice.
"Why don't they just come here and say, 'You don't have a choice?' " Ewert said. "(The state) wants a roundabout and they're going to get one."

A peek inside Charleston's new Cabela's
Cabela's officials invited the media into their new Charleston store earlier this week for a sneak peek ahead of the store's Aug. 9 grand opening.
I took the tour. A few impressions:
In my conversations with Leary and with special events coordinator Chris Walls, a few surprising tidbits popped up.
Leary told me that customers in the checkout line would be given the option of rounding their totals up to the next highest dollar, and the change would be donated to a variety of national hunting, fishing and conservation associations. He said some of the money would also be donated to local chapters of those organizations.
Walls told me how Cabela's officials came to decide that Charleston would be a good place to locate a store:
"It was based on sales at Wheeling and online sales," he explained. "Every time someone checked out at Wheeling, the clerks took their home ZIP code. The corporate folks put those ZIP codes on a map and added in the ZIP codes from online sales, and located the store smack in the middle."
Williams said Cabela's officials expect the new store to draw most of its customers from within a 150-mile radius, but might attract people from as far away as North Carolina and Tennessee.

Stepping up to the podium, fifteen winners in a field of 450 highly qualified competitors. They have tirelessly trained by spending hours and hours in their craft spaces--building their skills, improving their techniques, and testing their limits. They have wowed the judge with their stamping skills, their design ability, their execution, their risk-taking, and their creativity.
They are the champions in our Olympics of Stamping challenge, friends. Please offer them a round of well-deserved and hearty applause. A cheer or two would do nicely as well.
In the Birthday category, the bronze medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: I love this simply stamped big fat cupcake. For me, the wow-factor comes in the pairing of those colorful stripes and sprinkles with the neutrals in the cupcake and the background paper. Moxie fab!
...the silver medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: The balance in this card is divine. The brilliant color combination in the cake steals the show (as it should), but it's balanced perfectly by the white background, the black accents, and the way she's scored the left hand side of the background which helps to balance the ribbon on the right side. The black flower is perfectly placed in the "sweet spot" of the card making me want to gobble it up entirely. Delicious!
...and the gold medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: Not only is this a g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s card, but it's technique-y as well. Krysten has used "stamp kissing" on the flowers which adds texture and all-around moxie fabulousness to an expertly executed card!
In the Love category, the bronze medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: I love the way Michelle has stamped the monster background, alternating and staggering those cute little guys. I also love the way she's pulled out the main monster as the focal point because it accentuates the sentiment, "one of a kind."
...the silver medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: The focal point in this card is unmistakable--a heart surrounded by cute typography in a color scheme that is fresh and fun. I also love the way Carly has embossed a dotted pattern on the bottom half of the card which helps ground the focal point, eliminating any chance that it might feel like it's "floating." AND she's echoed those dots by piercing the petals of the flowers giving the card wonderful continuity and flow!
...and the gold medal winner is:
Moxie Fab World: Talk about trendy! We've got a trendy image in this retro seamstress, a trendy technique in stamping on patterned paper, a trendy way to call attention to a focal point by placing a shape offset and behind, a trendy color combination, and a trendy accent in that puffy "love you" heart. Put that all together and what do you get? Moxie fab at its best!
In the Season's Greetings category, the bronze medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: The hand-stamped background shines in this card! Katie has allowed it to speak completely for itself by treating the sentiment, ribbon, and the bottom border so simply. Yummy!
...the silver medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: This beautiful card is entirely stamped. From the background to the focal point, Tracey has created movement, depth, balance, and flow with a skill and execution that I admire tremendously.
...and the gold medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: The colors in this card leave me with my jaw on the floor. The soft shades of yellow, green, and blue with the white embossing and sparkle make me think that these flakes might have fallen through a pastel rainbow. Even Kristin admits that the color combination was out-of-the-box, but girl, you nailed it as far as I'm concerned!
In the Thank You category, the bronze medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: Not only is this card beautifully stamped, but again, its balance is something rare and wonderful. The focal point is placed on the diagonal rather than on the square, which offsets the vertical background perfectly. The pearls at the bottom both ground the card and echo the pearls at the top of the focal point. And the butterfly and the bow offset one another in delicious harmony. Besides that? It's absolutely and unequivocally gorgeous!
The silver medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: Speaking of gorgeous, oh my. When I first opened this card up in my browser, my heart started beating much, much faster. The flowers are amazing, aren't they? The way they're colored, the way they're layered, they way they're turned up to give them extra texture. And again, balance. The focal point on the left is balanced by the sentiment, while the bow ties them both together.
...and the gold medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: It's punny! It's well-executed! It's sweet! It's fun! It's super stampy! It's quirky! It's moxie fab!
And last but certainly not least, in the Thinking of You category, the bronze medal winner is:
Moxie Fab Alert: This card has some serious wow-factor. First you see that punch of a color scheme. Then you see that beautiful damask focal point. And then? Then you see that she's pulled a heart out of said beautiful damask focal point. And then? Then you say, "Wow!"
Moxie Fab Alert: Speaking of "wow" factor, this card has it goin' on as well. "Wow" in the color scheme, "wow" in the technique she's used to reverse-silhouette those flowers, "wow" in the balance of the card (good things come in "three's"), "wow" in the font that perfectly matches the style of the card, and "wow" in that ribbon and those three little rhinestones that top it all off. I'm just sayin'. Wow.
Moxie Fab Alert: Um. Yeah. Wow. Super awesome gradient stamping. Super awesome echoing of gradient color in the rhinestones at the bottom. Super awesome simple treatment of the sentiment allowing the rest of it to shine, shine, shine. Oh my wow, Lea! Oh my wow!
Congratulations again to these winners, certainly, but I'd also like to thank the other 435 of you who gave this challenge a go. I could have easily chosen ten winners in each category without hesitation. As I looked at each card, I was so impressed with your passion for stamping, the fun you were having, and the joy that this craft brings you. Thanks for sharing it all with me and the rest of the Moxie Fab World!

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. (WUSA) -- A man is in critical condition after a CSX train collided with a car as it attempted to cross the railroad on Brandywine Road, officials say.
Prince George's County Fire Department says the accident took place Wednesday evening near Ice Plant Road when the driver of a 2001 Ford Mustang attempted to cross the railroad tracks as the lights were flashing red.
The 25-year-old male was ejected from the car and suffered severe head trauma, Prince George's County Police said. He was flown to the trauma center with life-threatening injures.
He is in critical condition in an area hospital.
The fire department spokesperson said the railroad crossing is not protected with crossing-arms to protect oncoming traffic from trains.

When I was at the 2010 Wyoming Outdoors Expo at the Events center, I spoke to the Wild Sheep People and the people from the Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Center in Dubois.
They had indicated that both sheep organizations wanted to introduce California Bighorns into some of the suitable California bighorn enviroments in Wyoming.
I think that this is pretty stupid.
Here's why:
1. Most marginal Rocky Mountain Bighorn habitat is utilized by livestock producers for grazing cattle, domestic sheep and angora goats. Many of these Forest Service and BLM leases are in excess of 50 years old.
2. The USFWS is fairly unfriendly to animals it considers to be non-native, along with the Park Service in Yellowstone their is a push to remove the Mountain Goats from Yellowstone National Park, as they are non-native and compete with Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep.
3. As California Bighorns are not native to Wyoming, and the USFWS would see them as an exotic, and is probably not going to let the Sheep Organizations transplant California bighorns anyway, why not work with the Park Service to capture Mountain Goats from Yellowstone and move them to the high desert climates that the Audoban Bighorn was native to in the early 1900s.
As A: Mountain goats are not suceptable to domestic livestock enroachment diseases, and can not inbreed.
And B: We could solve the Yellowstone (conceived) Goat Problem and introduce more mountain goat oppurtunity for sportsmen in Wyoming.
If it was up to me, I'd work with the Wyoming Wool Growers to determine what areas they would be willing to keep domestic sheep free for 50 years. Instead of waisting money on introducing wild sheep that will be killed by domestic sheep and goat diseases.
While I am a member of Wild Sheep and Grand Slam/Ovis I grew up in sheep producing family and feel that ranchers have just as much of a right to make a living as anyone else.
Wolves and Democrats are the real enemy, we just have to work with the sheep organizations (both domestic and wild) as well as the Park Service, USFWS, BLM, Forest Service and Wyoming Game and Fish to ensure that we are doing this the right way.

With the recent spike in crime, notably armed robberies, some people are thinking twice about stepping out after dark to do their holiday shopping. With an armed robbery outside Books-A-Million Friday night at Meridian Crossroads, shoppers are taking extra precautions to make sure that they make it home safely with their purchases. Some don't shop after dark, while others take along family and friends, or something a little more potent.
Teresa Powers says to, "Always park in a well lit area and watch where you're at. Always be aware of your surroundings." She also adds that she carries a taser.
"Normally I'm not even out at night. Normally I only shop during the day because I think the economic times have turned Meridian into a place that's a little more dangerous than it used to be, so normally I just shop in the mornings and afternoons," says Lisa Powers of Meridian.
Coranda Thornton says to "Shop in groups. Most of the time there's four or five of us when we go shopping, so that's what we do."
Captain Dean Harper with the Meridian Police Department says that one way you can protect yourself while out shopping is to conceal your purchases.
"Look back through your car window and make sure that if you couldn't put that package in the trunk, that you at least covered it with something. If you leave something out in plain view in your car, there's a good chance that when you come back, it's not going to be there.

Semi-domesticated herd dinosaurs. They have their own defenses against the predators, and when the T-Rex comes around, it would prefer the larger prey to the bite-sized, stinging humans.
I am designing a world where there are huge animals, both in the oceans and on land. For ease I'm just refering to them as dinosaurs, but obviously they aren't... They're a fictional class of animals. But for the purposes of this thread they are like dinosaurs. The civilizations in this world are primitive... their heaviest weapons being catapults. But I don't think catapults are fast enough to take down large fast moving predating dinosaurs. Their skins are too thick and strong for spears. They need effective ways to take down dinosaurs... what could they invent?
I can think of a few ways to take them down, like luring them off a cliff or a pit with tree sized spears, burning down a forest with them in it. Heavy ballistas. They take time to deploy though. They aren't very effective if you run into a pack of t-rexes in the field though. Research shows even huge dinosaurs hunted in packs. Ropes between trees could fell them if they're small enough like t-rexes (they'd fall hard and if that isn't enough into huge spears). The huge slow ones can be felled with catapults.
As for the defense of settlements, moats with water or filled with spears and mounted ballistas could come in handy. Settlements bordering on the wilds would need to be effective at repelling or killing them.
Can you guys think of any other ways?
Semi-domesticated herd dinosaurs. They have their own defenses against the predators, and when the T-Rex comes around, it would prefer the larger prey to the bite-sized, stinging humans.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
If I were living in that world, I would want to travel in kind of a wheeled landship with its own mounted ballistas, because that's the only thing I can think of that would be any use against a t-rex-type beastie.
Baiting traps would be the most likely way to hunt them... self defense would seem to come down to communities creating spaces too small for large creatures to get through. Poison of extreme efficacy might be the best bet, really, for typical hunting, strike wound and track the dying and ailing dino. Smoke and fire tend to be universally respected by predator and prey alike, but would be more defense. If I were a primitive man looking for a village site I would seek out: caves (obvious), tar pits and/or next to a source of naturally occurring flammable substance, preferably oil. I might even use fat from downed dinos to create an oil that could be pitched onto an attacking critter and set ablaze. Natural sources methane could also be used for fear effect and potentially as defensive weapon. Methane gas contained in, say, a sack created from the intestine of a dino and fused might also prove a form of explosive?
Hand to hand options (so to speak) would be to have several combatants with very long pikes to hold the point, a jab and dash attention getter while striking with atlatl or other projectile to slowly weaken the beast through bleeding or to eventually drive it away. That's not the preferred fight, but in a pinch you try what might work. Critters can be extremely dumb when facing such a situation. A pack of dinos on the other hand... run faster than your neighbor, heh heh.
A fun question!
Upon the Creation of the World the First Dragons cast their seed in the light of a Sun and a Thousand Suns, beneath the Moon and a Thousand Moons, on a World and a Thousand Worlds.
If the critters are egg-laying ones, then it would be fairly straightforward for intelligent beings to target nests of problematic species. After a hundred years or so, those species just wouldn't be a problem locally.
Poisoned caltrops, whoppin' big ones?
Since *I* don't want to loot T-Rex or velociraptor nests, I'd rather domesticate whatever modest-sized species that already likes big-dinosaur eggs, and help their lives. Maybe paint them some better cammo, or teach them some pack-type or diversionary-attack tactics. They'd make dandy guard-dogs and attack-pets in any human-vs-human conflict as well.
Noise. Everybody knows carnivorous dinosaurs HATE the sound of fingernails (or claws) on a chalkboard, so amp that up with simple parabolic leather-and-stick reflectors and you have a repeller-method. Once you can get them on the run, it is simple work to bison them off a cliff, or lemming them into the ocean. Or even to Brea them into a tarpit, which might have the side effect of making them stick around for dinner (yours instead of theirs).
Catapults too slow? Nope. Even swift carnivores are stationary when feeding (or sleeping). Easy to predict where they will feed, if the feast is a bait animal...
Vietcong armpit trap (those holes with spikes that trap your leg when you step in them).
China had gunpowder at an early date, making explosive warheads a possibility ... Mortars are fairly simple to make once you come up with the basic idea and a need for one.
Greek Fire - (like napalm ... jellied gasoline).
I would check up on the power of a crossbow (they punched through some tough steel armor).
When Hannibal attacked with elephants, hammers with large spikes were used to puncture the skull if the animal panicked (threatening friendly forces).
Yeah, I was gonna suggest Greek Fire and the crossbows, too. =]
Jacks, or Jax. Ever play that as a kid? Anyhoo, I believe it was Alexander the Great who created some really big ones with four points (so one is always facing up) to stop a charge of enemy cavalry. The spike went through the softer bottoms of the horses' hooves. If your beasties didn't break their necks from the fall, they still wouldn't get very far and the people could finish them off. Or they'd probably die of starvation, since hunting would be difficult.
Sorta depends on what type of civilization you have, but sacrificial offerings could be a good alternative to egg smashing. Poisoned, of course.
Greek fire and crossbows aren't primitive. They're the product of advanced, though pre-industrial, societies. How did advanced societies appear in a dinosaur-haunted landscape? How did the dinosaurs survive organized extinction efforts if they were successful in controlling the dinosaurs long enough for humans to become advanced? I think it needs to be postulated that either the dinosaurs or humans are recent immigrants.

Relive local history by listening to stories of Oak Grove's past and seeing artifacts that were used in everyday life. Join us in the shelter building at Rum River North Park on Saturday, April 13th at 2:00 pm for a historical look at Oak Grove. The Rum River North Shelter Building is located in the Rum River North County Park at 23100 Rum River Blvd in St. Francis.
"Our early settlers were rugged innovators who made the most of the land," said Anoka County Commissioner Matt Look, who represents Oak Grove. "This is a great educational opportunity to look into the eyes of these pioneers and see the successes and the struggles etched on their faces."
Oak Grove is one of the original townships in Anoka County, established in 1857, but it did not become a full-fledged city until 1993. A slide show of photographs from Oak Grove's past takes participants on a visual tour through this township turned city. This is backyard history at its best!
"History happens everywhere, not just on the battlefields and in big cities," said Library Board President Bob Thistle, "Learn more about the history of the ordinary people that lived here before us."
This program is free and open to the public, but seating may be limited. The History of Oak Grove is sponsored by the Anoka County Library, presented by the Anoka County Historical Society, and funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
For more information about this and other library programs, call 763-712-2322.

Stools come in a variety of styles with many optional features available. Traditional lab and art stools which offer a basic design are the most budget-friendly option. Their metal legs and hardboard seats provide strength and durability. They are built for the rigors of everyday student use and will last for many years. For a bit of extra comfort, you may choose to add optional backrests. Adjustable-height models are available as well. Many classic art stools and lab stools rest on self-adjusting glides, which compensate for uneven floors automatically.
Seat materials vary. You can choose between hardboard, polypropylene and hard plastic. Each material has its advantages. Hardboard is the cost-conscious option. Hard plastic is super strong. It resists nicks and dents and is easy to clean. Polypropylene is lightweight, colorful and flexible. It offers a great way to liven up your learning space by adding classroom colors and enables students to lean back without causing damage to the stool.
For a more pleasant seating experience, padded stools are the way to go. Padding varies from the very basic addition of a little extra cushioning to high-density foam for hours of support. To determine whether padding is desirable and necessary, consider how many hours a day the stools are used and whether they are used for extended periods of time or not.
Unlike standard lab stools, drafting stools offer the utmost in support and flexibility. They feature thick padding and adjustable height. Enhanced options even include adjustable tilt angle, armrests and adjustable back height. Many drafting stools offer convenient mobility. Five-star bases with dual-wheel casters provide stability and easy rolling.
Stool upholstery is available in a selection of materials. The optimal material for a science lab is anti-microbial, anti-bacterial vinyl. This material prevents germ build-up and facilitates easy cleaning. Fabric upholstery is another viable option. Stools with mesh backs provide the utmost in breathability.
Our stools are great for art room applications. Art stools enable students to have a clear view of their projects. Swivel stools are excellent for art because they offer clear visibility from a number of angles. Wooden stools create a more classic look and are super strong and highly durable.
Foot rings are a great feature for any type of stool. They reinforce the frame while providing a comfortable place to rest feet. The optimal position for working is with feet resting flat, so a foot ring is ideal for sitting in a healthy position.
Whether you are looking to outfit a science lab, art room or any other work space, Hertz Furniture has many excellent options to fulfill your needs. We feature lab stools from leading manufacturers including National Public Seating, Academia, OFM and Boss. If you are having trouble choosing among the many excellent options, contact our design center today and we will be happy to help you determine the optimal choice.

Rare African American Artifacts to be Showcased at Lewis Museum
Imagine gazing at verses of poetry written in the 18th century by African American poet Phillis Wheatley.
Or browsing through an 1832 account of how runaway Harriet Jacobs hid in an attic –for seven years—from vicious slaveholders.
Or looking at a letter from Malcolm X to biographer Alex Haley two years before the Black Muslim leader was gunned down.
Such artifacts are to be on display at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture from Nov. 1 through March 2, 2014, thanks to Wells Fargo and the family of Bernard Kinsey, a retired Xerox executive who, along with his wife, has amassed a collection of African American artifacts.
The Kinsey Collection: Shared Treasures of Bernard and Shirley Kinsey – Where Art & History Intersect – includes:
• An early draft of the Emancipation Proclamation;
• Original works by Frederick Douglass
• A 1604 original copy about Africa before the slave trade, written by Leo Africanus, an African;
• and documentation of how the estimated 38,000 cowboys that helped shape the
U.S.'s Old West, included about 10,000 Blacks.
"The Kinsey Collection strives to give our ancestors a voice, name and personality, enabling the viewer to understand the challenges, obstacles, triumphs and extraordinary sacrifice of African Americans who've greatly contributed to the success of this country," says Bernard Kinsey. "We are excited to collaborate with Wells Fargo in developing this special program honoring the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation."
The exhibit began as just a hobby for Bernard and Shirley Kinsey, but according to their son, Khalil, that changed after the couple came across an 1832 bill of sale for an enslaved person by the name of William Johnson.
"Finding this piece gave my father chills," says Khalil Kinsey. "He wanted to know everything about this individual and then it also, more importantly, made him want to find out more about how African Americans came to find themselves in this predicament in America and how they made it through it… so that's what really sparked the collection."
The Lewis museum exhibit marks the last stop on a year-long, cross-country tour for the collection that coincides with the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
"The Kinsey Collection is one of the more diverse collections of African American art and artifacts in the country," says Dr. Michelle Joan Wilkinson, director of collections and exhibitions, Reginald F. Lewis Museum. "Bernard and Shirley Kinsey have taken care to select items that paint a broad picture of the many accomplishments that African Americans have made to our nation and the world.
We are especially proud that Marylander Frederick Douglass is among those who are featured."
"I am especially excited about the Kinsey Collection because it provides unique access to authentic documents that allow us to relive major historical moments," says Dr. A. Skipp Sanders, executive director for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum. "It is a privilege for us to bring an exhibition to Maryland that has gained so much prominence throughout the country."
The exhibit will open on Nov. 2 and end on March 2, 2014. Tickets will be eight dollars for general admission, six dollars for senior citizens (65+), and children ages 7-17. Children under six years of age, Maryland state public school teachers, and members of the museum are to be admitted free of charge.

text: I bet you guys get tired of these questions, but... Me and two others are planning a trip this fall and only two of the three have a point. We will probably go for the special tag so we can get in a better area. Area 27 was sugested to me but when studing thr MRS section didn't see it listed. Also would like a area that we could camp at instead of hotel. Looking for a good unit with good numbers. Not after BC bucks. Any help greatly appreciated. Doe/fawn tags would be a plus too, would like to come back with as much meat as possible.

Mopar B-Body Power Upgrades - Make Your B-Body BoogieWritten by on April 1, 2009 Performance-Improving Tips For Mid-Size Mopars
Of all the body styles produced by Mopar, the B-bodies are some of the most recognized and sought after vehicles by many enthusiasts. Of the various reasons B-bodies are so popular, one of the biggest factors is that B-bodies were the flagships of the Chrysler Corporation during the heyday of the muscle car era, and as such they were raced in many highly popular Stock Car and Drag racing classes. Chrysler definitely exploited the "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" philosophy of the time and engineered some of the best designed cars of the era specifically to win races.
Since winning races meant press coverage, the Mopar B-bodies got lots of exposure which led to some of the best sales numbers of any Chrysler products. So it's really no wonder there are so many B-bodies around today since they were some of Chrysler's most popular automobiles. But while true performance cars like the Road Runner, Super Bee, GTX, and R/T models were fairly well-rounded with stiff suspension and decent brakes, many of the lower models that are being built by enthusiasts today have woefully inadequate engines, brakes, and suspensions. Given also that by today's standards the mid-size Mopars of the '60s and '70s are anything but mid-size, they present some special considerations when being turned into street/strip machines. Follow along and we'll show you some tricks to make your B-body perform its best.
Make The Right Kind Of Power
The basic laws of physics tell us that to get a car moving off the line takes torque, and the heavier the car, the more torque your engine needs to make for quick acceleration. In the world of Mopars, most B-bodies are second only to C-bodies in terms of sheer weight, so when it comes to making power, this factor needs to be considered. Building an engine that makes torque, especially at low rpm, is paramount to getting a heavy car moving; so the right engine and the right combination of parts are both mandatory. Of course, the easiest way to make torque is to increase displacement, so if your car came with a 318 you should consider a swap to a 360 or a stroked 360. And if your B-body is powered by a small displacement big-block, consider upgrading to a 440 or even a stroked 440 for more torque. Additionally, engine upgrades to your B-body should be geared toward improving low and mid-range torque instead of peak horsepower. This means if you plan to install headers, smaller primary tubes will generally work better. And for that intake manifold swap, dual-planes generally make better torque at lower rpm than single-planes will. The same theory can be applied to camshaft selection. If your car is heavy, pick a cam that makes good low rpm and midrange power to get your heavy B-body moving more quickly.
Get The Torque To The Pavement
Since spinning tires are counterproductive to rapid acceleration, the B-body has an advantage to smaller, lighter cars. That's right, while our B-bodies may be a little heavier than the A- or E-body Mopars, much of that additional weight is over the rear tires. Additionally, most B-bodies can accommodate a much larger rear tire without modifications like moving leaf springs inboard, or cutting fenderwells. When we build our B-bodies we try to exploit these advantages by installing large tires and suspension parts that will enhance our car's traction.
Don't Forget The Rest
Remember, the laws of physics state that an object in motion tends to stay in motion, especially if it's a steel car pushing 4,000 pounds. So if your B-body isn't already equipped with disc brakes, it's probably a good idea to convert it. Fortunately, companies like Master Power Brakes have kits for most B-body Mopars. If cheap is more your style, you can still find A-body disc brakes and spindles on cars in salvage yards that will bolt onto your B-body and work way better than drum brakes. Also, don't forget the rest of the suspension. Upgrades here can lighten your car as well as improve acceleration, braking and handling, and ride quality.

B-bodies are slightly larger than their A- and E-body counterparts, but they can still perform very well with the right combination of parts.It takes torque to move a heavy car, so consider a 360 if your car is a small-block, or a 440 if it came with a big-block. Stroker motors are also a great way to build torque, and work very well in B-bodies.Exotic induction systems look cool and make big horsepower numbers, but in a heavier car like a B-body, it's usually best to concentrate on low end torque.When picking aftermarket parts for the engine in a heavier car, dual-plane intakes will generally provide more low-end torque than single-plane units.B-bodies require more off-the-line torque to get moving, so if you're contemplating a cam change, consider one that makes plenty of low-end and midrange torque.As we proved in a previous article, roller cams make more power across the board than flat-tappet camshafts are capable of. Still, remember to pick a cam that makes plenty of low-end to get your B-body moving.For the ultimate in torque, a stroker kit is a great way to make big gains. Fortunately, stroker kits are readily available for virtually any Mopar engine you're considering.
There are plenty of systems available, and some can even be hidden in the air cleaner (shown above).If you're upgrading to headers, we suggest smaller primary tubes for more torque. Large tube headers flow great at high rpm, but for low end power the engine must build some backpressure so smaller primary tubes tend to be the best choice.Owning a B-body does have advantages, and one of them is traction. B-bodies can accommodate larger rear tires, and have more weight over the rear tires than most other body styles, which can equate to less tire spin and better acceleration.Most B-bodies have plenty of room in the rear wheelwells, so we recommend installing the largest rear tires that will fit without rubbing for maximum traction.Sure a B-body is a little hefty, but with big tires like these 255/70R15s and significant weight over the back wheels, B-bodies are certainly capable of leaving smaller cars spinning their tires at the stop light or starting line.An aftermarket pinion snubber can be adjusted to contact the floor quickly during acceleration, planting more weight on the rear tires for maximum traction.Shimming the rear axle for a more aggressive pinion angle will also give your car more bite. We suggest 5-7 degrees for leaf-spring equipped cars.For maximum traction, we've had good experience with CalTrac bars and monoleaf rear springs from Calvert Racing.
This rear triangulated four-link suspension system by Unlawful Racing (a Division of Irons Works) is a self-contained unit that utilizes the original front leaf-spring mounting points with its own subframe that fits between the original framerails. The subframe requires minimal welding, or it can be bolted in! Their triangulated four bar system is completely adjustable for the ride height, stance, tire clearance, pinion angle, instant center and more, making it appealing to all forms of racing applications and on the street. With its awesome design, it not only works, it also looks great on the show field.Special shocks that extend easily and compress slowly, like these 90/10 shocks from Calvert, will allow the front end to lift and more weight to be transferred to the rear tires during acceleration.Lower rear gears are another way to take advantage of torque and traction. We never run higher than a 3.23 ratio in a B-body, and 3.91 gears or lower will really wake up a heavy car.As a B-body owner, you can take advantage of extra traction by installing a looser torque converter, allowing more engine power to get to the pavement.Companies like Cap Auto Products make aftermarket tubular K-members and control arms that improve suspension performance in addition to shaving weight from the front of your B-body.Getting a B-body moving is one thing. Stopping it is another. We suggest adding disc brakes to your B-body as a safety upgrade if your car isn't already so equipped.So there you have it-we love the styling of B-body Mopars, and with torque and traction there's no reason your B-body can't perform as well as a lighter car.

I was trying to post the whole story, but instead I will just put up these photos and some links. During 16D 2nd rifle in the Gila.
Relevant excerpt from my write up:
We sat backs to an alligator juniper about 80 yards up on the hill from the water. The wind picked up and Dave told me to put on my jacket while it was still early. I was zipping up when he said "BEAR don't move" I froze and we watched as a large boar in the upper 200 weight class range came in to water.
We both got our cameras out and were focused in on the bear when Dave looked up and said "BULL!" A nice sized 5x5 had snuck in and was directly in front of us in my shooting lane, we hadn't noticed due to focusing on the bruin. The bull walked up to the edge of the hole, dropped his head and wagged his antlers at the bear. The bruin was not in the mood for a challenge and left to go up the hill, directly on a string to us. The elk walks to the edge of the mud and flops down in it and begins to wallow. So I have my rifle on my shooting sticks, right eye looking through the cross hairs keeping an eye on the elk for a shooting opportunity, my left eye is watching this monster bear come closer and closer. Dave is snapping pictures while the bear passes to my left at 7 yards. During this sequence of events I do start to get little shook up, its so unbelievable it seems surreal. The bear walks behind the tree FOUR yards behind us, catches our wind and bolts. The bull caught the movement stood up and started moving to the right curling his lip to see what had scared off the bear"
Some pictures of a very unique encounter:
The bull was an ok 5x5. Wouldn't trade him for a bigger one the way the whole afternoon happened, though.

|MMH pursues rural residency program
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
While at the Tuesday night, Sept. 24 East Phillips County Hospital District board meeting, MMH Administrator John Ayoub discussed the possibility of bringing a rural residency program to Holyoke.
MMH is currently in talks with Rocky Vista University out of Parker about having MMH as a residency site. While housing issues have yet to be worked out, MMH still has some time to iron out the details of the proposed program.
Second-year residents would begin to work on-site in Holyoke in two years, and in three years, the hope is to have the program in full swing with second- and third-year residents.
"I think this could be very beneficial for our community, for our organization in the long-term, but also for our city, our state and our country basically in terms of filling up the pipeline with positions for those who want to practice in a rural location," Ayoub said.
While laying the groundwork for the residency opportunity, MMH has recently applied for a $1 million grant to help establish a program. Ayoub stated that regardless of whether MMH is able to secure the grant, there is a possibility of moving forward with the program.
MMH faces more surveys
Last month MMH faced two unannounced state surveys regarding licensure and federal Medicare conditions of participation. While at the Tuesday meeting, Ayoub informed board members that, as expected, MMH recently endured another state survey, this time for life safety codes.
In the past year, a law was passed that transferred the responsibility of the life safety code surveys from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to the Division of Public Safety. MMH was last surveyed in 2008 based on a set of codes from 2000. With the different division now handling the surveys, a 2012 version of the codes was adopted, giving MMH 12 years worth of codes they must become compliant with.
During the survey, MMH was dealt a number of citations, but Ayoub speculates that about 90 percent of the citations were specifically because of the changes in code. MMH is currently in the process of writing the plan of corrections, and Ayoub stated that he is confident that the plan will be approved and changes will soon begin.
Most changes are minor, including lowering sprinkler heads in a few patient rooms and adjusting locks on doors. Ayoub noted that the issues with the survey are nothing to panic about and that adhering to the new changes can be done for $15,000 or less.
MMH receives payment for meaningful use
During the administrator update portion of the board meeting, Ayoub made members aware that MMH has attested for the second-year payment from Medicaid for meaningful use.
"I just wanted to let you know that we are diligently pursuing the amount of money that is available to us and that we are entitled to for the completion of the installation of the electronic record and the fact that we are using it in a meaningful way," Ayoub said.
Last year the hospital received over $80,000 for the program. This year MMH will receive around $40,000, and next year, which will be the last year they will be compensated for the use of the EMRs, they will receive approximately $20,000.
Other business
In other business Sept. 24, board members:
—approved credentialing of Christine Gal, M.D., radiology; Ira Chang, M.D., teleneurology; Judd Jensen, M.D., teleneurology; Robert Winthrop Prett, M.D., teleneurology; Jeffrey Wagner, M.D., teleneurology; Carrie Harvey, M.D., radiology; Ahmad Shihabi, M.D., cardiology; Laura Marinello, P.A., cardiology; Michael Hajek, M.D., orthopedics; Dennis Jelden, M.D., family practice; Maurice Lyons, D.O., rad/PadNet Int.; James Wolach, M.D., radiology; Christopher Fanale, M.D., teleneurology; Emily Lampe, M.D., teleneurology; Byron Spencer, M.D., teleneurology; Deaun Carpenter, FNP, family practice; Shane Rowan, M.D., cardiology; Stephen Zumbrun, M.D., cardiology; Peter Webb, P.A., cardiology; Scott Hayden, M.D., radiology; James Schiefen, D.O., general surgery; Marjorie Wiedman, M.D., radiology; and Christy Young, M.D., neurology.
—announced that the next board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 22.
