This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 135,973, filed Dec. 21, 1987, now abandoned.
The present invention describes a novel family of sulfonate-containing hydrophobically-associating rigid rods. These copolymer form aqueous solutions that possess markedly different rheological properties than conventional water soluble random coil polymers especially in high ionic strength solutions.
It is well known that flexible polymer chains are generally considered useful as viscosification agents when dissolved in an appropriate solvent system. The major reason for this viscosity enhancement is due to the very large dimensions of the individual polymer chain as compared to the dimension of the single solvent molecules. Any increase in the size of the polymer chain will produce a corresponding enhancement in the viscosity of the solution. This effect is maximized when the polymer is dissolved in a "good" solvent. Therefore, in general, a soluble polymer is useful for thickening solvent, while a water soluble polymer is appropriate for increasing the viscosity of aqueous systems. With regard to aqueous solution, solvent soluble nonionic polymers and high charge density sulfonate or carboxylate polyelectrolytes are quite useful in this regard and are commonly used materials. However, the solution properties of the former family of material are controlled primarily through modification of the molecular weight of the polymer and through changes in the level of dissolved polymer. These materials become especially effective at concentrations where the individual polymer chains begin to overlap. This "transition" is commonly referred to in the literature as the chain overlap concentration or simply C*. It should be noted that in most nonionic polymers of commercial interest, a relatively large amount of polymer is required prior to reaching C*. Therefore, this approach is undesirable from a economic viewpoint. Moreover, the rheological properties of many of these nonionic systems have been published. The results of these studies show that, in general, these solutions are shear thinning over all shear rates investigated.
Polyelectrolytes, on the other hand, are very useful and the most commonly used materials. However, the solution properties of these materials begin to deteriorate as low molecular additives (i.e., acids bases or salts) are dissolved in the solution. These additives screen the charges that are fixed along the chain backbone which results in a decrease in the dimensions of the polymer molecule. The viscosity diminishes as long as the chain continue to shrink.
It has been found previously (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,460,758 and 4,540,496), for example, that intrapolymer complexes, composed of a nonstoichometric ratio of cationic and anionic monomeric units, can be useful in viscosifying aqueous solutions systems (as required in a variety of well control and workover fluids; i.e., water based drilling fluids and acid gelation systems). More importantly, these polymeric materials possess higher viscosity in acid, base or salt solution than in the corresponding fresh water system. Even more interesting is the observation that these polymer materials show a corresponding viscosity enhancement as the concentration of the dissolved acid, base or salt is increased, even though the polyampholyte contains a substantial amount of dissociable charge. As explained earlier, these viscosity results are unexpected since the general tendency of charged macromolecules in these types of aqueous solutions shows a marked decrease in thickening efficiency.
Furthermore, in recent years, interpolymer complexes have received considerable attention in the literature due to their interesting and unique properties. In most instances, these complexes are formed by intimately mixing aqueous solutions containing high-charge density polyelectrolytes possessing opposite charge. When these polymer molecules meet in solution, the interaction between oppositely charged sites will cause the release of their associated counterions forming the complexes. The counterions are now free to diffuse into the bulk solution. Normally, phase separation occurs upon prolonged standing in these higher-charged density complexes. As a result, these materials have poor viscosification properties. In previous U.S. patents, it is reported that low-charge interpolymer complexes are soluble and effective in viscosifying aqueous solution systems. More importantly, these complexes possess a substantially higher viscosity than the corresponding individual low-charge density copolymer components. As detailed earlier, these characteristics are unexpected since high-charge density complexes are insoluble in these conventional solution systems.
Even more interesting is the unique and unexpected result that these soluble interpolymer complexes are capable of enhancing the viscosity of aqueous solutions under relatively broad shear conditions. With these unique polymeric materials, dilatant behavior occurs in aqueous fluids which are of extreme technological utility. It is further noted that under the identical experimental conditions, the viscosity of the individual copolymer components show the normal shear thinning behavior. In all of the above instances, the chain conformation can be approximated as a random coil.
This instant invention teaches that a novel family of water soluble hydrophobically-associating rod-like polymers are useful in thickening fresh and high brine solutions even under shear. In addition, these polymeric materials have markedly improved and unique solution properties, especially at high ionic strengths, as compared to conventional water soluble polymers.
In addition, this instant invention teaches that a novel family of alkylated copolymers containing a novel family of sulfonate-alkyl containing monomer moieties are useful in viscosifying aqueous solvent systems and more importantly, these polymeric materials have markedly improved and different solution properties as compared to conventional water soluble polymers.
These copolymers are based on, but not limited to, the incorporation of the above anionic, i.e., sulfonate groups and hydrophobic moieties, i.e., alkyl groups into a rigid or semiflexible polyamide backbone structure.
It should be noted at this point that the use of hydrophobic groups on flexible water soluble polymers to enhance the rheological properties of water based fluids has been described. One approach to provide polyacrylamide based systems containing hydrophobic groups is described by Bock, et al., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,520,182 and 4,528,348. Water soluble acrylamide copolymers containing a small amount of oil soluble or hydrophobic alkylacrylamide groups were found to impart efficient viscosification to aqueous fluids. Landoll, U.S. Pat. No. 4,304,902, describes copolymers of ethylene oxide with long chain epoxides which also required relatively large polymer concentration (approximately 1%) for thickening water and required surfactants for solubility due to irregularities in the polymerization. In a related case, U.S. Pat. No. 4,428,277, modified nonionic cellulose ether polymers are described. Although the polymers show enhanced viscosification relative to polymers not containing hydrophobic groups, the viscosification efficiency was very low, requiring 2 to 3 weight percent polymer to provide an enhancement. The use of surfactants to enable solubility and, in turn, viscosification, by a water soluble polymer containing hydrophobic groups is described by Evani, U.S. Pat. No. 4,432,881. The hydrophobic groups claimed are attached to the polymer via an acrylate linkage which is known to have poor hydrophobic stability. In addition, the need for a surfactant to achieve solubility and thickening efficiency should make such system very salt sensitive, as well as very sensitive to small changes in surfactant and polymer concentrations. Emmons, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,395,524, teaches acrylamide copolymers as thickeners for aqueous systems. While these polymers possess hydrophobic groups they are prepared using alcohol containing solvent which are known chain transfer agents. The resulting polymers have rather low molecular weights and, thus, relatively high polymer concentrations are required to achieve reasonable viscosification of water based fluids. These water soluble polymers again are best described as random coils.
The present invention teaches a process for producing water soluble hydrophobically-associating rigid rod polymers that are efficient viscosifiers for a fresh and high ionic strength aqueous solutions. The process relies on the complete solubilization of the initial starting material which is of itself not water soluble. The synthesis occurs in a solvent environment in which the reaction also takes place (see FIG. 1). As a result, under these synthesis conditions a clear, uniform, homogeneous mixture forms and remains so throughout the entire procedure.
The polymers which may be isolated from the reaction mixture form aqueous solutions which are very effective viscosifiers of water or brine, having molecular weights such that their intrinsic viscosities are high enough for effective viscosification, typically greater than 0.1 dl/g.
It should be noted that the starting polymer for this synthetic procedure is a rigid rod polymer produced by the DuPont Company called Kevlar. This material is useful as a high modulus/high tensile strength fiber in a large number of applications. Incidentally, Kevlar is soluble only in sulfuric acid which prevents facile modification of its chemical structure. The approach presented in FIG. 1 overcomes these problems however. The solvent used in this instance is dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in which sodium hydride (NaH) and the Kevlar is added. Subsequent reaction with a sultone, alkyl bromide and subsequent neutralization with a base results in the final polymer product via classical nonsolvent isolation procedures.
The water soluble alkyl-containing, i.e., hydrophobically-associating group, polymers produced in this invention are characterized by the formula in FIG. 1. The level of sulfonation is directly proportional to the level of butane sultone (or other alkyl sultones) added to the rigid-rod chain structure.
FIG. 1 illustrates in a schematic fashion the specific synthesis route for the preparation of sulfonated-hydrophobically, i.e. alkyl containing, associating rigid rod polymers. Note DMSO denotes dimethylsulfoxide.
FIG. 2 illustrates in a schematic fashion the specific synthesis route for the preparation of a sulfonated-hydrophobically associating rigid rod polymer containing a dodecyl pendent group.

The scope of this invention, permits the synthesis of a large viscosity of water soluble hydrophobically-associating rod-like polymers based on an polyamide structure. Typical structures for the polymer in this invention includes aromatic based polyamides, both substituted and unsubstituted, in which the hydrogen atom in the amide linkage is substituted with a sulfonate-containing and/or alkyl-containing moieties. In this invention, the sulfonation procedure is accomplished with alkyl sultones, primarily, propane sulfone and butane sultone wherein a ring opening of the sultone occurs. The alkylation procedure is accomplished with alkyl halides. The synthesis relies on the reaction and subsequent reaction of the sultone and alkyl halide with the derivatized rod-like polyamide. These anionic, i.e. sulfonate, derivative are formed without the utilization of any other sulfonating agents. The reaction mixture is clear, isotropic and homogeneous.
An additional important feature is that the resultant polymer possess both an anionic charge and segments of the rod-like chain that remains unsulfonated. These latter units are insoluble in water and therefore gives a hydrophobic unit to the polymer chain. This is accomplished without the necessity of further chemical post-treatment. The precise level of sulfonation directly permits, therefore, a degree of control of the final polymer structure and of course, physical properties. In addition, the addition of pendent alkyl groups gives an additional degree of control over the level, i.e., intensity, of the hydrophobic interactions.
The rod-like polyamides are produced through well-known condensation reaction procedures.
Typical polyamide structures that are useful in this instant invention are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,063,966; 3,006,899; 3,943,110; 3,600,350 and 3,673,143, all of which are herein incorporated by reference.
The water soluble and brine soluble rod-like polymers which are produced by this sulfonation procedure in this instant invention having recurring units of the formula: ##STR2## wherein n and n' is preferably 2 to 22 straight chained or branched chained alkyl or cycloalkyl group, more preferably 3 to 12 and most preferably 3 to 8. Typical, but non-limiting examples of preferred alkyl groups are propyl, butyl, octyl, decyl, dodecyl and steryl groups. The level of sulfonation is preferably about 20 to about 100 mole %, more preferably about 40 to about 95 mole %, and most preferably about 50 to about 90 mole %. M is a tertiary amine or a metal cation selected from the group consisting of alumina, iron, lead, Groups IA, IIA, IB and IIB of the Periodic Table of Elements. The level of alkylation is preferably about 1 to about 60 mole %, more preferably about 1.5 to about 50 mole %, and most preferably about 2 to about 40 mole %. The water soluble rod-like polymers have an average number molecular weight of about 103 to about 107, more preferably about 103 to about 106 and most preferably about 103 to about 105.
The polymers of the instant invention are water soluble or brine soluble rod-like polymers characterized by the formula: ##STR3## wherein n and n' is a 2 to 22 straight chained or branched chained alkyl or cycloalkyl group, and the level of sulfonation is about 20 to about 100 mole %, and M is a tertiary amine or a metal cation selected from the group consisting of aluminum, iron, lead, Groups IA, IIA, IB and IIB of the Periodic Table of Elements and level of alkylation is about 1.0 to about 60 mole %.
The polymeric solutions of the instant invention comprising water, and about 0.1 to 90% mole % of a water soluble or brine soluble rod-like polymer characterized by the formula: ##STR4## wherein n and n' is a 2 to 22 straight chained or branched chained alkyl or cycloalkyl group, and the level of sulfonation is about 20 to about 100 mole %, and M is a tertiary amine or a metal cation selected from the group consisting of alumina, iron, lead, Groups IA, IIA, IB and IIB of the Periodic Table of Elements and the level of alkylation is about 1.0 to about 60 mole %.
The process for forming a water soluble or brine soluble rod-like polymer of the instant invention which are characterized by the formula: ##STR5## wherein n and n' is 2 to 22 straight chained or branched chained alkyl or cycloalkyl group, and the level of sulfonation is preferably about 20 to about 100 mole %, and M is a tertiary amine or a metal cation selected from the group consisting of aluminum, iron, lead, Groups IA, IIA, IB and IIB of the Periodic Table of Elements, and the level of alkylation is about 1.0 to about 60 mole % which comprises the steps of dissolving NaH in dimethyl sulfoxide; dissolving about 1.0 to about 40 of an aromatic polyamide chaaacterized by the formula: ##STR6## to form a solution and stirring said solution at about 25� to about 80� C. until a homogeneous solution is formed which contains an intermediate characterized by the formula: ##STR7## and adding a mixture of sodium hydroxide, an alkyl halide and an alkyl sultone to said solution of said intermediate said alkyl halide and said alkyl sultone reacting with said intermediate to form said water soluble rod-like polymers.
A 200 ml, four-necked, separable flask equipped with condenser, drying tube, nitrogen inlet, dropping funnel, and stirrer was used. The apparatus was swept by dry nitrogen. A 0.08125 mole (3.9) portion of purified sodium hydride initially a 50% suspension in paraffin) and 300 ml of DMSO (dried over a molecular sieve) were placed in the flask at 55� C.. The temperature rose to 60� C. after 20 minutes, and the mixture was maintained at 55� C. under nitrogen with stirring. About 240 minutes was required for the sodium hydride to be consumed completely. A 0.0833 mole amide unit (10.0) of Kevlar was added at 55oC to the reaction mixture which was cooled, and stirring was continued at 55� C. for 12 hours. Then, 6.91 mls (butane sultone) and 3.63 mls dodecyl bromide was added and the mixture stirred at 55� C. for 16 hours. The polymer was precipitated in a large excess of water, filtered, and washed several times with water and acetone alternately. After the isolated product was dried at 373 K for 10 hours in a vacuum oven, the light yellow powder of the product was obtained with a yield of 3.9g (96%). The sulfonated product is neutralized with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide via well known neutralization techniques. Elemental analysis indicates that the sulfonation level is about 75 mole %, while the alkyl substitution is about 15 mole %.
The specific reaction pathway is shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 confirms:
1. Sulfonated and alkyl-containing Kevlar is wholly water soluble.
2. Soluble hydrophobically-associating rod-like polymers are effective viscosifiers in aqueous media.
3. Shear thinning characteristics are observed over a broad shear rate regime.
4. Viscosity enhancement is observed with increasing ionic strength of the aqueous solution.
5. The lowest sulfonation level produces the most viscous solution and vice versa.
6. Increases in polymer concentration markedly increases viscosificaiton efficiency.
7. Insolubility occurs at sulfonation levels <40 mole %.
8. Hydrophobic interactions controls rheological properties especially at low sulfonation levels.
FIG. 4 shows the effect of the hydrophobic associations, i.e., due to the alkyl pendent groups, on the surface tension of the fresh water solution. The surface tension is plotted as a function of polymer concentration. The data can be summarized as follows: (Note 12736-151A is the polymer synthesized according to example 2).
1. marked surface tension reduction occurs with these hydrophobically-associating, sulfonated rod-like polymers.
2. surface tension reduction is directly proportional to the polymer concentration.
3. level of alkyl substitution and sulfonate level determines the magnitude of the surface tension at comparable molecular weight and polymer concentration.
4. physical properties of these solutions is directly related to alkyl and sulfonate content, polymer concentration and molecular weight distribution.
5. an apparent critical micelle concentration (CMC) is observed at about 5 g/dl. The CMC changes with the parameters given in 4).
Thermal Stability
FIGS. 5 and 6 shows the thermal behavior of the as received Kevlar and a sulfonated-alkyl substituted version (Example 2) respectively. As anticipated, the Kevlar material begins to soften around 760� K. This data parallels quite nicely, the well known thermal stability of these materials. Interesting, the thermal stability of the sulfonated polymers begin to soften around 640� K.--a unique property of these water soluble hydrophobically-associating polymers.
In summary, the use of these novel sulfonate, i.e., anionic, and alkyl substituted rod-like polymer compositions to impart improved rheological properties to fresh and high brine fluids is described. The properties of the aqueous fluids containing these rod-like polymers can be varied over a broad range due to the ability to readily change a number of compositional variables in the polymer structure, i.e., level of sulfonation, molecular weight, alkyl level, length of the alkyl pendent group.
The rod-like polymers are useful as rheological control agents in a variety of oil and gas drilling operations. Included in this category are a variety of well control and workover fluids, fracturing fluids, gelation agents, brine viscosifiers, completion fluids, drag reduction additive, enhanced oil recovery additive, water borne coatings, water based lubricants and the like.

My toddler used to love a book that was a teether on the corners and made a wrapping sound similar to the potato chips bah. He would play with that thing for the longest time! I got it at wal mart. I would also advise to get additional rings to hang the toy wherever you are because those things get lost all the time!

The physical properties of quantum systems, which are described by the anisotropic Heisenberg model, are influenced by thermal as well as by quantum fluctuations. Such a quantum Heisenberg system can be profoundly changed towards a classical system by tuning two parameters, namely the total spin and the anisotropy field: Large easy-axis anisotropy fields, which drive the system towards the classical Ising model, as well as large spin quantum numbers suppress the quantum fluctuations and lead to a classical limit. We elucidate the incipience of this reduction of quantum fluctuations. In order to illustrate the resulting effects we determine the critical temperatures for ferro- and antiferromagnets and the ground state sublattice magnetization for antiferromagnets. The outcome depends on the dimension, the spin quantum number and the anisotropy field and is studied for a widespread range of these parameters. We compare the results obtained by: Classical Mean Field, Quantum Mean Field, Linear Spin Wave and Random Phase Approximation. Our findings are confirmed and quantitatively improved by numerical Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The differences between the ferromagnet and antiferromagnet are investigated. We finally find a comprehensive picture of the classical trends and elucidate the suppression of quantum fluctuations in anisotropic spin systems. In particular, we find that the quantum fluctuations are extraordinarily sensitive to the presence of small anisotropy fields. This sensitivity can be quantified by introducing an "anisotropy susceptibility".

Concern over an increase in the number of bee colonies disappearing mysteriously has prompted a national survey of the bee population.
However, considering bees are in decline globally, the Ministry for Primary Industries has told Parliament's primary product select committee the insect is in relatively strong health in New Zealand.
"New Zealand bees aren't doing too bad if you take the simple measures of counts of beekeepers and counts of hives as well as honey production which has increased, " MPI director of animal and animal products Matthew Stone said.
"But there's obviously no room for complacency given the contribution, the important contribution that bees make to New Zealand primary industries."
Bees were "critical to New Zealand's primary production", Stone said.
The National Beekeepers Association has estimated the economic value of honey bees at $5.1 billion.
But a written briefing provided to the committee showed that simply counting hives could provide a misleading picture.
While hive numbers had grown in the last decade, there had also been anecdotal reports from beekeepers that "bee colony losses from unexplained causes have been increasing", it said.
"They indicate that these losses have been masked by beekeepers dividing their hives at an increased rate to replace the hives.
"This means that simple counts of hive numbers can be misleading."
Stone told the committee that a simple count of hives was not enough to understand population patterns. Baseline information needed to be established to fully understand what was happening.
"It's very important to get a baseline measure of bee health and mortality is a very good indicator, hive mortality that is and that can be revisited in future years "
Bees were sensitive to several factors, including environmental changes, pests and diseases and pesticides while food and genetic biodiversity also affected the health of the population.
Great concern over bee health was held internationally, including in the United States, which had convened a national task force to address the population decline, and in Europe, which has banned some pesticides which were seen to be harming bees, Stone said.
New Zealand authorities closely monitored such efforts and studies, Stone said.
While the survey was yet to start, some programmes were already under way including Trees for Bees, which promotes planting of particular tree species to support the bee population, and the Better Bees project looking at bee genetics.

About Midnight Valley Labradors
We located in Poulsbo, Wa on seven acres of secluded property surround by trees. Our family are avid hunters and campers. It was only natural that we acquired labradors to hunt with. After hunting with guides and their dogs, we decided that it was time to get our own dog to hunt with. Starting with our first labrador, Pepper, we quickly discovered that we loved having quality puppies and re-homing them. We acquired Ruby in September 2010 and shortly after that Belle joined us. Last summer we had two litters at the same time and found out that this is truly a labor of love. All of our pups are born in our living room and are handled from the moment they are born. We believe that by letting our females know that we are here for them and that they can depend on us they will be better dogs. So far that has worked very well. We have received great feedback from many of clients and request for pups from future clients.

A 4th Bombardier Global Aircraft Added to USAF Inventory
Bombardier Aerospace announced today that it delivered a Global 6000 aircraft to the US Air Force last Thursday, in a ceremony conducted at a Bombardier facility in Connecticut. This aircraft is the fourth Bombardier Global aircraft to be added to the existing US Air Force inventory with E-11A Military Designation. The intention is to equip this new addition with the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node or BACN, in time for deployment next summer. This system will allow disparate battlefield communications systems to share data.
"Bombardier has built a strong relationship with the US Air Force, a Global aircraft operator for four years now. We are delighted that the Air Force has once again selected a Bombardier aircraft to carry out their BACN mission," said Derek Gilmour, Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Administration, Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft, Bombardier Aerospace. "This recent addition reaffirms the credentials of the Global aircraft platform for special mission applications and we are very proud that Bombardier's aircraft are serving the United States Air Force," he continued.
Global Military Aircraft Engines Industry 2016 Market Research Report
As the world's most advanced ultra long-range business aircraft, the Global 6000 jet is designed and certified to operate at altitudes of up to 51,000 feet (15,545 m)*. It flies faster, farther, accesses shorter airfields, and climbs quicker than any other business jet in its class. It offers an expansive cabin for equipment and mission personnel, unmatched power generation capacity and higher ground clearance to support sensor installations. In addition, its remarkably damage-tolerant airframe provides superior structural integrity.

Fresh Radio 2 series revealed
According to the BBC, the programme is set to chronicle Britain in modern times using music.
Stuart Maconie is set to host the programme and although it isn't due to hit the airwaves until 2012, Radio 2 wants people to help it out before then.
A website dedicated to the programme (bbc.co.uk/peoplessongs) is going to reveal ten of the 50 tracks involved every month, with people able to send in things such as pictures and personal tales.
Ten tracks have already been made public, including Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Rehab by Amy Winehouse and She Loves You by The Beatles.
"In the company of the Great British public, I aim to tell the story of the last seven decades via the records that sound-tracked this dramatic period; a period of conflict, social change, parties, prosperity, plenty, poverty, peace and war," Maconie said.

Reports of a strange Field creature spotted
Posted in the Morristown Forum
#1 Dec 27, 2009
A very strange animal has been seen in the farming community located above Morristown around the outer edges of Whitesburg mainly in around where farmers have large acreages of land.This is not a joke,nor just a spooky story to try to scare people.
I personally have spoken with 3 people who have seen some kind of animal walking upright and covered with a dark colored hair.They claimed that it has been seen mainly in the fields of the farmlands.,out walking around,mainly at night.One lady toldme that it ran across in front of her car and jumped into some woods across the road from the field in which it emerged.Now I like most of you am not easily scared,and I would like to see this thing which appears to have some folks apprehensive to get out on their farms at night.
Another sighting has claimed that a woman and her fellow had taken a four wheel drive truck down into this thicket are in a field to do some four wheeling,apparently the truck had something happen to it where it would not start and when the guy left to go get help[,the woman who stayed behind in the truck,claims she heard some rustling sounds coming from the thicket,then saw this upright walking creature walk out in front of the truck making a strange unusual sound then ran off into the thick brush.
She claimed it was around 5 to 6 feet in height,covered with a thick dark colored hair all over it.I have also spoken with her personally and she appears to be telling the truth because when she tells the story she seems scared to death and starts trembling and shaking from it.
I really don't know what to think of these weird stories,but apparently these people have saw something or think they have saw something.
Me and some of my friends have obtained permission from a local farmer who owns around 105 acres,to stay in an old barn situated out in an open large field.In hopes of catching a glimpse of it.One of our friends has a night vision camera and most of will be armed also,so I would advise against anyone who finds out about this trying to scare us because we will have guns with us.
Has anyone else heard about this or want to add anything to it please do.We are very serious about any information of such occurrences and really don't want to hear about anything bogus or stupid,please.Thank You for any information posted on here.
#2 Dec 27, 2009
I also saw a strange animal right inside of Russellville. I tried to figure out what it could be, but didn't exactly fit any description my family or I could figure out.
This animal was somewhat small tho, and was running on all fours.
I know it wasn't a dog, and we debated fox or coyote but it wasn't either of those, I'm sure.
Not the same as yours, but a strange animal in the same general area.

Yes last year me and my son were hunting out off of stagecoach rd in whitesburg on a buddys land about 10:30 we were sitting talking when up over the ridge we saw a large shadow lumbering slowly in the distance. We sat silently and watched as it would walk on all fours sniffing for tracks or something then go back to standing on two legs like it was looking for something at 1st I was shocked but I looked over at my son who was shaking and crying and suddenly I felt his fear. Knowing that we were a good 1/2 mile from the truck I started thinking it's ok I have ammo if I have to shoot we should be fine. Now I just wanted to calm my son down but deep inside I was frightened. My son kept saying dad I gotta pee I gotta pee I was saying just be quiet and hold it. Again he or whatever it was is up on the ridge a good 3 to 400yds away just lurking around sniffing on all fours then popping up like a grizzly and looking off in the distance. We were whispering so I don't think it's hearing was that good but all of a sudden I heard water and said what the hell is that and my son pissed his pants crying dad I'm scared suddenly the creature let out a sorta howl like a peecock and a bobcat screech mix just telling this sends shivers up my back as I'm typing this. Well whatever it was it's sense of smell must be uncanny I truly believe it smelled piss because it came down on all fours in a straight out sprint right at us I immediatly fired a couple of rounds but I shoulda saved it till he got closer it suddenly cut left into a treeline and we hauled ass outta there but I knew we couldn't outrun whatever it was so after a quick sprint we slowed down to a walk with the tree line on our right and open field on our left we could hear something tracking us off to our right and I would fire off a shot and listen then walk some more I would hear the peecock bobcat like screech after every shot it felt like forever to get out of there. To this day I have not been back in those woods or any for that matter after dark and I never will. So there is something and good luck guys but be careful I would not do it.

Its nothing new. They have been spotted before. Morristown is notorious for them. We called them "Neepanics" growing up. What happens is a mexi girl breeds with a black dude. The resulting anchor baby becomes a fatherless welfare drain until age 18. At which time his mexi-momma sets him free. Due to his inner turmoils, his blackness refuses to let his mexicaness work a construction job. with no mamma feeding him from welfare anymore , he has to go hunting daddy, so they usually start by looking in the local fields. Don't frett much folks , they always head to the ghettos eventually .Just ignore them and they will go away. DON"T FEED THEM. Otherwise you may have to continue to do so for years to come. Neepanics are oftern seen in the ghetto's or larger citys standing on street corners begging for spare change.

Excellent story,as I love a story of having to do anything as this.I have hunted quite a bit in the past,and been in almost all types of environment from the deep woods to straight up cliffs rocks and woods combined.I would most certainly like to know what is is that you saw.We have had a lot of reports of black Bear in this and surrounding counties.Could in your best guess,maybe figure out what it was.I would want to try to pinpoint the area down you were in,as I also have a friend who would go with me as he would be as I was about trying to see something unusual.
I usually carry a 18 inch razor sharp thick curled edge knife on my hip.I also pack two additional large hunting knives,a 44 magnum Desert Eagle and of course the main weapons of a custom made 25-06 or a .12 gauge and pack some 3 inch magnum slugs or.00 buckshot.
This of course is for the extreme chance we do see something that needs to be brought down that could be a threat to man.I consider myself to be a pretty good shot either prone or offhand position as I have always hunted since I was young and been around firearms all my life.I do enjoy the bigger bore rifles,and let me tell you a .12 gauge slug can do some damage to ANYTHING it hits,as I've seen firsthand what it can do to trees and such.
I can usually shoot with open sights very well,even though my 25-o6 has a first rate scope.I have always hoped I could be the first guy on my block with a most unusual kill,henceforth the animal that you saw,especially if it was a threat to people.

That's because they would be too stupid and go in search of something.Any good hunter knows to find a good high level perch,then wait and let your prey come within your gun sight before you softly squeeze the trigger and send it off to oblivion.

I know exactly what it is! About 15 years ago, a group od scientists were experimenting at Walters State. They were cross breading panthers with brown bears. One night when it came a hard snow and knocked the power out in that area, the electrified kenner they were kept in lost it's power and they escaped. Of course Walters State claimed all of the animals were captuted, and thet the next day they were put down and cremated. 5 years ago, an ex-security officer swore on his death bed that there were three of the animals that they did not capture, and that they still were out there some where. All of the animals had tracking collers on them and these three somehow managed to wiggle out of them. That is how Walters State was able to account for them all and statisfy the authorities. Thay had all 20 of the tracking collars. This story has been swept under the rug long enough. It's time someone starts looking into it, and these animals are tracked down. It's hard to tell how many exist now after 15 years of breeding.

Police request public's help in finding missing senior
By Kevin Bunch
Posted November 1, 2013
An 87-year-old Roseville man has gone missing, and the Police Department has requested the public's assistance in finding him.
His family last saw William Schell at around noon Oct. 30 in Roseville, though his last known location was in the Port Huron area around 9 p.m. Oct. 31. At the time, Schell said he was planning on going to Canada.
Police do not believe he has crossed the border and said it is uncharacteristic of Schell to be out of contact with family members, or to be out of the area. Schell is 6 feet 2 inches tall, 160 pounds, and he has gray hair and glasses. He was driving a silver 2007 Dodge Caravan with Michigan license plate BESCH1.
The police have him listed as a missing person, but they have no indication that he has been a victim of foul play. Anyone with information is asked to call the Roseville Police Department at (586) 775-2100, ext. 8.

HOUSTON — A Houston-area deputy has sued the family of a man he fatally shot following a 911 call last year, alleging he and others who responded were not properly warned about the danger they faced.
In a lawsuit filed this week, Harris County sheriff's Deputy Brady Pullen is seeking up to $200,000 from Carmina Figueroa, a relative of Kemal Yazar, for injuries he suffered, including a concussion and a broken nose.
Officials say Yazar confronted EMS workers and deputies who responded to a call from a home in the Houston suburb of Katy. Figueroa is listed as the home's owner.
Pullen's attorney, Mark Long, did not immediately return a call or email seeking comment on Friday. Court records did not list an attorney for Figueroa, who also did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
"The Harris County Sheriff's Office is not the plaintiff or the defendant, meaning the official actions of the HCSO are not in question and neither party is acting on behalf of the HCSO in this court case. Therefore the HCSO is in no position to comment on the contents of the lawsuit," sheriff's office spokeswoman Christina Garza said in an email Friday.
At the time of the shooting, Sheriff Adrian Garcia told reporters that EMS called in deputies for help after being confronted by Yazar. Pullen and another deputy initially tried to subdue Yazar with Tasers but ultimately had to use their firearms.
An investigation by the sheriff's office of the shooting is still ongoing.
In his lawsuit, Pullen alleges that Yazar had been taking bath salts — a synthetic hallucinogenic drug — for days and that Figueroa knew Yazar was such a danger, she evacuated children who were in the home at the time.
Figueroa "had a duty to exercise ordinary care in adequately (warning) others that her resident or guest Kamal Yazar posed a violent threat to others due to his ingestion or smoking of 'bath salts' or some other mind altering substance, and to make the premises safe," according to the lawsuit.
Pullen is seeking damages for past and future medical expenses, mental anguish and loss of past earning capacity.
Legal experts say lawsuits like the one filed by Pullen are extremely difficult to win because there is a belief the jobs of police officers, firefighters and other first responders are dangerous to start with.
Joel Androphy, a Houston attorney not connected to the case, said he doesn't believe the lawsuit has any merit.
"If you allow suits like this to go forward, it will have a chilling effect on all people that want to make 911 calls because they will be afraid if something happens to the police officer," Androphy said.
Rick Mumey, a lawyer and former Houston firefighter, said he doesn't believe the lawsuit will make people think twice about calling 911.
"If you're a police officer and you are responding to a crime or a shooting ... there is the potential of you getting hurt doing it. And so there is a (high) bar to bringing a suit against an ordinary citizen in those circumstances ... an extremely dangerous hazard that the home owner is aware of and they are present when you arrive and they fail to warn you," he said.
