A Madison man driving around downtown early Sunday morning spotted his stolen car out on the road, although at first he didn't know his car had been stolen.
The 38-year-old Madison man's BMW X5 was in an auto repair shop in the 2300 block of South Stoughton Road -- or so he thought, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
While driving, the man noticed a BMW X5, which looked very similar to one he owns. It even had the same tree-style air freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror.
Police said the man pulled up alongside and could see two men in the front seat and two women in the back. They were listening to loud music, and the man could feel the thumping bass.
Police said the man next noticed the license plate on the BMW X5, and realized that this was in fact his car, which had been stolen.
The man drove to the Stoughton Road auto repair business, where he had dropped his car the prior Monday, and he discovered it was now gone, according to the incident report.
Auto repair staff later said the car was still there at the close of business on Saturday and that it must have been stolen hours before the owner spotted it cruising around in downtown Madison, police said.

My milk supply was brilliant but now it's gone so down
My breasts useto be full after about 3 hours, rock solid lol, now... after 4/5 hours they are still kinda soft and don't get the same amount out (I express)
I have 2 questions..
1. If I breastfed one time or 2 times during the day and pump the rest, will this help y supply and keep it up as I know that the pump doesn't stimulate like the baby does)
2. They say to keep the supply up, you have to pump every 2-3 hours, even if you know that their is barely any milk in your breasts and they seem empty. If they are empty, should I still pump after every 2-3 hours, will this help even though there is no milk coming out.
Thanks girls.

12 dreamy pictures of Ireland
With its remote beauty, rugged landscapes and windswept coastlines, Ireland is a photographer's dream. Here, Philip Joyce shares some of his best pictures of…23 Aug 2016 • Philip Joyce insert_drive_file Article
Though occupying the highest point of the old city, Christ Church Cathedral is now hemmed in by buildings and traffic and appears as an unexceptional Gothic Revival edifice. Inside, however, you'll find some fascinating remnants from its long history as the seat of the (now Anglican) Archbishop of Dublin and Glendalough. From as early as the seventh century, there may have been a small Celtic church on these grounds, and in about 1030, the recently converted Viking king of Dublin, Sitric Silkenbeard, built a wooden cathedral here. This in turn was replaced by the Normans, who between 1186 and 1240 erected a magnificent stone structure to mark their accession to power. Of this, the crypt, the transept (which retains a few eroded Romanesque carvings), the west end of the choir and the remarkable leaning north wall can still be seen – as the church had been built over a bog, the roof collapsed in 1562, bringing down the south wall and pulling the north side of the nave half a metre out of the perpendicular. In the 1870s, distiller Henry Roe lavished the equivalent of €30 million on the heavy-handed restoration you can see today, and bankrupted himself.
Near the main entrance at the southwest corner you'll come across the strange tomb of Strongbow, the Norman leader who captured Dublin in 1170 and was buried here six years later. The original, around which the landlords of Dublin had gathered to collect rents, was destroyed by the sixteenth-century roof collapse, and had to be replaced with a fourteenth-century effigy of one of the earls of Drogheda so that business could proceed as usual. The small half-figure alongside is probably a fragment of the original tomb, though legend maintains that it's an effigy of Strongbow's son, hacked in two by his own father for cowardice in battle.
The chapels off the choir show the Anglo-Normans celebrating their dual nationality. To the left stands the Chapel of St Edmund, the ninth-century king of East Anglia who was martyred by the Vikings, while on the right is the Chapel of St Laud, the sixth-century bishop of Coutances in Normandy. The floor tiles here are original – those in the rest of the cathedral are 1870s replicas – while on the wall you can see an iron box containing the embalmed heart of twelfth-century St Laurence O'Toole, Dublin's only canonized archbishop.
If you descend the stairs by the south transept, you'll reach the crypt, the least changed remnant of the twelfth-century cathedral; formerly a storehouse for the trade in alcohol and tobacco, it's one of the largest crypts in Britain and Ireland, extending under the entire cathedral for 55m. Here you'll find the Treasures of Christ Church exhibition, which includes an interesting twenty-minute audiovisual on the history of the cathedral, as well as a miscellany of manuscripts and church crockery, and a mummified cat and rat, which were frozen in hot pursuit in an organ pipe in the 1860s. Look out also for a ropey tabernacle and pair of candlesticks made for James II on his flight from England in 1689, when, for three months only, Latin Mass was again celebrated at Christ Church (the existing cathedral paraphernalia was hidden by quick-thinking Anglican officials under a bishop's coffin). In extravagant contrast is a chunky silver-gilt plate, around a metre wide, presented by King William III in thanksgiving for his victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

DSIP Unit Quantity :1 Vial
DSIP Purity: 99.0%min
Delta sleep-inducing peptide(DSIP)
Specification: 2mg/vial;
Formula: C35H48N10O15
Molecular Weight: 848.81
Place of Origin: China
Standard: USP
Certification: SGS
Method of Analysis: HPLC
Storage: Lyophilized peptides although stable at room temperature for 3 months, should be stored desiccated below -18° C. Upon reconstitution of the peptide it should be stored at 4° C between 2-21 days and for future use below -18° C.
Sleep Inducing Peptide DSIP effects :

DSIP probably reduced parasympathetic tone and decreased (lightened) the depth of anaesthesia measured using BIS.

October 4, 2012 —
Despite hundreds of petitions sent to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture asking for a milk hearing, despite the fact that dairy farmers are caught up in the worst price cost squeeze since the Depression days, and despite nearly half of the counties in the United States having been designated a drought disaster area, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture has announced that he is turning down the request from the petitioners to hold a national milk [price] hearing.
Many people, including Judge Sessions, strongly feel that section 608c(18) [part of milk regulatory legislation enacted in 1937] clearly gives the Secretary the authority to call for a national milk hearing such as what the petitioners are asking for.
Basically, the Secretary is saying he doesn't have the authority to hold a hearing that would be geared to establishing minimum prices based on dairy farmers' costs. I respectfully disagree with the Secretary. The USDA's regulations contain the language that permits the Secretary to implement a milk pricing formula under the "make allowance" provision in the Federal [Milk Marketing] Orders today. This provision allows milk processors to recover the cost of operating their processing plants.
By now, most dairy farmers are aware that before the dairy farmers' prices are determined, the milk manufacturing processors' costs are subtracted from the pricing formula before the farmers' prices are announced. This subtraction amounts to about $2 per hundredweight (cwt).
Let's think this one through! It appears that the USDA's position is that it is okay for the USDA to implement a pricing formula to cover the cost to operate a milk manufacturing plant but, oh no, we don't dare to do the same for dairy farmers. (There is an impolite term that covers all of this.)
Representatives of the USDA say that discussions should be held [regarding] any milk pricing formula. OK, we are ready for that discussion. We are not going to throw in the towel on this issue.
All dairy farmers: please remember the price for Class II, III and IV milk is the same in all Federal Orders, regardless of the dairy farmer's location, size, etc. [Yet not the same for Class I milk.]
Really, why is it all right to cover the processor's cost but not the dairy farmers' cost?
Remember, the USDA surveys manufacturing plants regarding what they are willing to sell their products for, knowing full well their costs will be covered in the pricing formula.
Also, let's bring representatives in from the Economic Research Service (a division of the USDA) and let them defend their National Cost of Production figures on our dairy farms.
After all, if the cost of operating a milk processor's facility is okay for one sector, then what is wrong in using the dairy farmers' cost?
Arden Tewksbury of Meshoppen, PA, is manager of the Progressive Agriculture Organization.
[Editor's note: Mr. Tewksbury's opinion piece was written before Congress adjourned at the end of last week without passing a farm bill. In addition, since then, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsak has invited dairy farmers to resubmit their petition requesting an emergency hearing for the USDA to raise minimum milk prices, which are set by the federal government. Presently, local dairy farmers are facing the worst economic situation they have seen in a very long time—caught between the lowest milk prices in decades and the skyrocketing price of feed resulting from grain and hay scarcity due to this summer's severe drought in the West and Midwest.]

The Honolulu Fire Department fire investigators have completed their investigation of the fire at a home on Kukila Street in Foster Village and have determined that the fire accidentally began in the garage and was caused by an electrical malfunction in a wall outlet.
The Kukila Street fire occurred on Wednesday at approximately 5:32 p.m. Firefighters found the front half of the home engulfed in flames and began a rapid fire attack while also protecting neighboring homes. Firefighters had the fire under control by 5:55 p.m. and extinguished by 8:03 p.m.
The fire caused extensive damage to the house and destroyed two vehicles parked in the driveway.
Fire investigators estimated the damage at $350,000 to the house and its contents and $25,000 to the two vehicles. Firefighters confined the fire to the house where it began and there was no damage to other structures.
Four people home at the time of the fire were able to escape without injury. The occupants became aware of the fire and exited through the rear of the structure and sought refuge in a park behind their home. The American Red Cross responded to provide assistance for the displaced occupants.

January 8, 2014 —
ROSCOE, NY — With an outpouring of gratitude and love, the Roscoe Central School District renamed its gymnasium the "Coach" Fred Ahart Gymnasium in a laudatory dedication ceremony on January 4 attended by legions of supporters including many who hailed from far away and from decades long since past. For the past 45 years, Ahart has devoted his immeasurable energy, love and guidance in mentoring students as a physical education teacher, coach and athletic director.
The Roscoe Board of Education, with the overwhelming support of the community, amended its policy to authorize the renaming of the Blue Devils' gym for the iconic coach who has touched the lives of so many since his arrival in 1969. Ahart was hired as a physical education teacher after graduating from Ithaca College where he played football, basketball and baseball. Taking on duties immediately as boys basketball coach, athletic director, track coach and also assistant football coach, Ahart began to author the legacy that has made him one of the most recognized and acclaimed figures in New York State high school athletics. On this occasion, a number of speakers came forward to laud the legendary coach and to recount his pronounced influence on them during their playing days and the resonant lessons that have endured long after.
Representing the 1969-79 era was David Rosetti. Rusty and Peter Pomeroy recounted the highlights of the '80s which they referred to as "the golden era of Coach's career." Four Western Sullivan League basketball titles and two Section Nine titles attest to that description. Matt Csoka and Jason Closs recounted their memories of playing and being mentored by Ahart in the '90s. Csoka was a running back on the 1990 squad, a team many have argued was Roscoe's best football team of all time.
Closs referenced his basketball days. Chris Ballard, Troy Kirchner and Dustin Sullivan shared their memories of the 2000-2009 era, while current seniors Brad Dreher and Liam Fogarty gave the current perspective. Roscoe Superintendent John Evans spoke glowingly as well about Ahart, as did school board vice president Ed Park, who had opened the day with his welcoming remarks.
Former Times Herald Record sportswriter Kevin Witt served as the master of ceremonies. Much of what was said throughout the afternoon alluded to Ahart's unique and heartfelt way of coaching kids, instilling in them the right ideals, great sportsmanship, perseverance and humility. The details of what each speaker said and the highlights of those eras can be found in the story titled "Dedication Celebration," on www.sportsinsightsny.com [1].
Daniel and Paige Clancy, two of Fred and Becky Ahart's 14 grandchildren, added their voices to the loving outpouring. Evans and Park unveiled the huge sign that said "Coach" Fred Ahart Gymnasium." "This was a team effort," Ahart said humbly as he voiced his thanks to his family, friends, players, coaches, the school district and staff, the community, the media and the many people he has worked with across Section IX and the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.
Ahart's impact, not only on the Roscoe School District but also across Section IX and indeed New York State, has enriched the lives of the countless people he has touched. And the good news is, he's still at it. For an album of photos from the dedication ceremony, visit www.sportsinsights.smugmug.com [2].

yea, I feel the same way, I like Nazr.
I didnt really know much about him before the rumors of him coming to NY started brewing but once he was here he impressed me.
Dampier is a decent Center so nothing against him but there have been rumors of him coming to NY for a few seasons now and the fact that it never happened didnt sadden me this year.
Now back to Nazr, I remember this past season Nazr threw down some Nasty dunks and some really strong rebounds.... Like Nazr said he may not be the answer to Shaq but there are a total of "78 other games to be played in the regular season..." worry about the playoffs when they come i guess.
I think he will be a 12 and 9 kind of guy with about 1.8 blocks per game

- "I was an owl exterminator."
- ―Igner
Igner is the youngest and most pitiful of Mom's three sons. His older half brothers are Walt and Larry. Like them he owns a 0.1% share in MomCorp. His intelligence is extremely low and he often displays the symptoms of mental disability. He speaks in a stereotypically moronic voice and is often found saddled with the worst tasks by his brothers: being bullied into wearing Mom's bra and playing the part of Pamela Anderson's body for her head in a jar. His immaturity means he gets disgusted easy and he has a tendency to repeat what he hears without full comprehension, for example: in Bender's Game, Igner repeats the phrase "We're owl exterminators" twice and pronounces exterminators wrong.
In Bender's Game, Igner helps Turanga Leela, Philip J. Fry I and Hubert J. Farnsworth escape his pursuing brothers, by denying that he had seen anybody to Walt. However, while everybody else was going along with the Dungeons and Dragons/Lord of the Rings parody, Igner's alternate reality persona got confused, pulled out a lightsaber and started parodying Star Wars.
It was revealed in Bender's Game that Igner is the son of Professor Farnsworth, making him the distant nephew of Fry and half-brother of Cubert, while his brothers have so far been assumed as the sons of Mom and Wernstrom.
- In Bender's Game, Igner's age is established to be approximately 35 years old—but according to Mother's Day, Mom has not seen Professor Farnsworth in 70 years. Though Mom could have lied to her sons considering the fact that she usually doesn't tell her sons the truth about anything.(Prof. Farnsworth says that he went back to work for mom around 30 odd years ago accounting for the discrepancy)
- In a yes/no poll for MomCorp to take over Planet Express he voted for Pat Buchanan.
- As a distant relative of Fry, Igner is also an anomaly in the space-time continum, although his existence is not cyclical like Fry's.
- In Bender's Game, Igner mistakes a giant spider for a "magic bug."
- Igner's name is a reference to the word "ignorant."

Sewer district rate payers should keep eyes open
The ratepayers (2,245 residents) of the Jefferson County Public Service District (JCPSD) owe a huge "Thank You" to Jacquelyn Milliron and Heidi Parker (rate payers too) for their ongoing work as interveners in a rate increase matter by the JCPSD.
In April, the JCPSD filed with the West Virginia Public Service Commission (PSC) a rate increase of 14.99 percent, citing a large debt owed to Pentree Design for ongoing design work primarily for a $24 million dollar waste facility. The PSC subsequently denied as not now needed and unreasonable for the current ratepayers to be responsible for.
The JCPSD continued its design costs and Ms. Milliron and Ms. Parker attended the monthly meetings and discovered it was "business as usual" at the JCPSD. The design contractor sat at the staff table with name plate and receiving a fee. They noted, too, the board of directors appeared to "rubber stamp" most actions by the general manager, who was obviously steered by the contractor who is owed over $1 million, (for past design work).
The board had no knowledge of the rates now paid by the ratepayers. Chairman Cummins believed the cost was lower than the surrounding counties and states. (JCPSD rates are much higher). For example, Board Chairman Cummins (five years on the board) did not know what the rates were and erroneously believed the JCPSD rates were lower than surrounding areas. (Not the case.) He could not identify any nearby localities in three states as high as JCPSD.
The board of director members seem to be out of touch with what the ratepayers are paying but apparently not all board members have attempted to learn all PSC regulations and rules and to abide by them. Again, the board of directors appears to be merely a "rubber stamp." Tragic.
The ongoing work by Interveners Milliron and Parker helped lead to a hearing on Sept. 28, 2012. Law Judge M. Pearl Blair presiding and her order shows some results of the interveners competent work. Judge Blair's order denied the rate increase and in fact, ordered a small reduction in our rates. Judge Blair saw the request for what it was.
Naturally, this may be appealed.
It would be very beneficial to ratepayers to obtain a copy of one of the intervener's briefs or the law judge's order to see the "mess" our JCPSD is operating. Intervener Parker said, "The PSD and its counsel had many opportunities to act in the best interest of its ratepayers, by observing the law, filing paperwork in a timely, correct an complete manner, by identifying sources of future funding for growth projects and for using CAF funds already in their possession, to pay for The Pentree Debt.

My daughter is 27 months old and still nursing fairly frequnetly. I generally restrict nursing to just before or after waking.
After she wakes up she usually wants to nurse for quite a while, especially in the morning.
Before her nap and before bed, however, she is only wanting to nurse a minute or two before she pops off and asks to sing her favorite songs.
I am curious about the self weaning process as, although her before bedtime nursing sessions are quite short, she does still like to nurse when she wakes up, when she is bored, when she does not feel good, when she is grumpy, etc.
What does self weaning look like? Are her short before bed nursing sessions a start, do you think? I am in no hurry, I am just curious. Will she really give it up on her own at some point or do I need to determine a time when we want to be done and start working toward that time? I don't want the weaning process to be more difficult than it has to be for her because I did not know to start setting limits at a particular age.
She does not wake in the middle of the night to nurse anymore, usually.

Wild things
April 23, 2014 —
Despite late, unwanted snowfalls, spring has arrived, bringing optimism, birdsong and new life to our fields and streams. As soon as the earth wakes up, it immediately stars putting forth its bounty. In the garden, rhubarb, angelica, sorrel and mint rouse us from our root vegetable slumber and, out in the wild, tender tips of ramps, Japanese knotweed and field garlic present the first vivid glimpses of green. If you've never tried eating directly from nature's pantry, perhaps this is the year you'll venture into new terrain. There is a distinct thrill in finding food in the wilderness—it's free, it's packed with nutrition and it's unusually delicious. (Note to newbies: Go with a mentor or consult a plant book to positively identify anything before consuming it. Always remember, when in doubt, throw it out!) The recent popularity of ramps has made foraging for them the subject of some controversy, but this is not the case with field garlic and knotweed, since both are highly invasive species. Gather them freely without fear of disturbing the ecosystem.
Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), a vigorous plant that was coveted in Victorian times for the delicate sprays of white flowers it produces in late summer, is considered among the most problematic invasive plants in this country. It spreads quickly and often takes over roadsides and riverbanks. Despite its bamboo-like appearance, it's actually related to buckwheat, as is rhubarb, with which it shares hollow stalks and mouth-puckering astringency. The tender shoots make the best eating, so harvest them at about 6 to 8 inches, and use them in both sweet and savory preparations. They can be gently steamed and served with a rich hollandaise sauce to counter their lemony tartness, or pureed with a little cream into a piquant sauce for pasta. Roast them with strawberries and orange zest, then bake into a pie or serve as a compote with vanilla ice cream. Larger stalks are also edible, but peel off the stringy outer layer before cooking. With plenty of sugar, they make a wonderful marmalade.

Health care consumers should monitor bills
I have been contemplating stating my displeasure regarding a recent healthcare experience I encountered, and after reading Froma Harrop's editorial in your paper, my decision became easier.
A family member recently had the unfortunate need to seek medical care at a local orthopedic clinic due to a broken ankle. After the initial exam and required x-rays, it became necessary to fit an orthopedic device (walking cast). As usual, as do most people, I did not inquire about costs, even though I knew I would be paying out of pocket due to my high deductible insurance. Well, after receiving the bill for the usual exam fees, etc., I noted the cost of the device to be quite high. The charge was $465, although it was discounted down to $372 due to the contract agreement with my insurance company. I did some investigating online and soon discovered that the open market price for the identical make, model , and manufacturer was as little as $60 and as high as $100. I swallowed hard, took my medicine for not doing my homework, and went through the same routine for a follow up device; nothing more than a heavy fabric lace up sock (brace). I figured lightning could not strike twice in the same place, but I was incorrect. Upon receiving a bill for $148, which was discounted down from $185, I looked again at the open market info. Shocked to say the least! The identical device was readily available for as little as $20 or as high as $50. This prompted a letter to the clinic expressing my displeasure with the possibility of taking advantage of customers and/or insurance payers, or perhaps they were being gouged by their supplier and simply passing along their cost. No response was received. Yes, they have to make a profit – but. Either way, it is beyond me why the insurance companies permit this. Surely they are somewhat aware of what the market price is for such devices.
It is no wonder insurance premiums are what they are, with the overall cost of healthcare spiraling out of control.
As consumers, we must pay more attention to our healthcare costs, the same way we watch our expenditures for a car, TV, appliance, etc.

9-22-11 Progressive Field
I decided to head to Cleveland after work today. Originally, I would've liked to have attended yesterday's too, but I wasn't feeling well and fellow ballhawk Nick Pelescak was already in Cleveland and reported a rained out batting practice on Wednesday.
I left work and drove to Cleveland and didn't get there until 4:50 PM. Batting practice had began at 4:30. When I arrived, I had a few bad breaks and didn't snag anything for the first twenty minutes I was there. I didn't even get to see the good Indians batters like Hafner, Thome, Santana or Sizemore. I was regretting even going. Why did I go? Well, I wanted to move up another spot on this list and make my 2011 season a top 5 season. By that I mean, the number of balls that I snagged would be fifth all time.
Last year I was the all time single season record holder with 544 before Zack Hample blew by me with a 30 stadium 130 game season.
Here's the list:
My first ball of the day was a ball that bounced into the trees in Heritage Park. I ran over and found the ball waiting just under the wall, so I reached in and grabbed it before an usher came rushing down and started looking for it as well. I had already grabbed it, so I just left. Since when do ushers try to get balls out of the trees in Heritage Park?
My second ball of the day was a nice catch that took some effort. An Indians blasted a home run to my right. I ran up about seven rows and cut across into an empty row and caught it on the fly backhanded here:
The White Sox BP typically sucks in Cleveland because they don't have too many good lefties, and all fans are confined to right field until 6PM on weekdays. Not a good combination. However, I had some more luck.
I caught an Adam Dunn home run on the fly here:
I had to leap to make the catch, and there were two other ballhawks jostling for position on the ball a row or two back.
Ball #4 of the day was completely lucky and random. Will Ohman fielded a ball near the wall and flipped it up over his shoulder without looking. I was standing four rows deep right here:
And the ball was directly to me. I didn't have to budge an inch. Later in BP, Ohman screamed at the crowd that he would get the balls on the field and keep them, and if they wanted a ball to catch a home run. There were dozens and dozens of kids screaming 'HERE HERE HERE' on every ball that was hit to right field. I can see why he was annoyed. Even more annoying, is that it pretty much ruined it for everyone. The White Sox pretty much completely stopped throwing balls into the crowd for the rest of BP.
My fifth ball of the day was glove tricked out of the Indians bullpen. It was a home run hit by Adam Dunn that settled right below me.
Piece of cake.
At 6:00, I had thought about running over and getting a ball about 12 rows up in left field that all of the ushers had missed, but Nick Pelescak was going to be going for the same ball, so I decided to instead head into foul territory at 6.
There was some major competition there, as a big line of people, including several ballhawks rushed in to the seats. In my haste, I dropped my Cleveland Stick. I had a decided that I would run down and see if there's any Easter Eggs, and then come back and grab it a minute later.
When I ran over I found ball #6. It wasn't just any ball though… It was an Angels 50th Anniversary Commemorative Ball. Rare.
And weird, since neither of the teams had recently played the Angels. The White Sox played them last on August 24th.
I then went back to grab my Cleveland Stick but it was gone. Someone had stolen it. Or threw it away. It was a terrible loss. If you're new to this blog, I use the Cleveland Stick to snag unreachable balls out of Heritage Park like this one:
Luckily today was my final game in Cleveland, so I'll have a new device for next year.
After having no luck in left field, I made my way over to the White Sox dugout and waited for batting practice to be over. I usually never do this, but I couldn't pass it up. Look how many White Sox fans were waiting to greet the team as they ran off the field:
Yeah. None.
As a result, I got third base coach to toss me ball #7. He's about to duck into the dugout in the picture below (between the two fans):
After snagging my seventh ball, I left thereby closing the book on Cleveland for the 2011 season.
I made it home at exactly 9 PM and Amy and I watched the Season Premier of The Office.
Here's today's baseballs:
Game: 7 balls (3 hit, 2 thrown, 1 found, 1 device)
Season: 409 balls (173 hit, 86 thrown, 87 device, 56 found)
Games: 75 games
Average: 5.45 per game

Awesome blog Erik! Enjoy reading about your experiences.
I'm kind of curious where you got that top 20 list from. I've got plenty of 350+ seasons under my belt. Oh well.
I'm seeing 322 on my end for 2010. Plus, I initially had Alan enter my first several seasons as "unspecified" and only entered game home runs. I understand leaving me out for 2011 because I haven't entered any games yet. Hmm.
For the record, I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything. Just checkin' out your blog. I'd like to declare already that I'm in for the 2012 ballhawk league, too. I missed the instructions for joining it this past season, I was super busy that first month or two.

Officials warn of possible weekend floodingSTAFF REPORT | January 11,2014WATERBURY Officials are warning Vermonters to keep an eye on rivers and streams as ice jams may be an issue as the weather warms this weekend.
The Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security sent out a release Friday saying the National Weather Service has forecast warm temperatures and rain for Vermont this weekend. The weather service has issued a flood watch for all of Vermont except Grand Isle County, for the potential of localized ice jam flooding.
A flood watch means that flooding is possible under certain conditions, but is not imminent.
The weather service said rain combined with warmer temperatures will lead to rising of rivers and streams, causing ice movement and potential ice breakup. It is possible that as the ice breaks up, an ice jams will form and cause fast developing flooding upstream of the jam. If an ice jam breaks, a sudden release of water can cause flooding in areas downstream.
Vermonters are encouraged to be prepared to take appropriate action based on circumstances. Ice jams and the resulting flooding are highly unpredictable, and can happen in a matter of minutes. Those who live or travel near river or streams that are prone to ice jams are encouraged to closely monitor the situation, as some roads may become impassible due to flooding from a localized ice jam.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Chase

Winter Rec-Fest Medallion found
The Winter Rec-Fest Medallion has been found.
The La Crosse Parks and Recreation Department says Paul Hoch found the medallion at the main library in the pine shrub, near the north end of the building.
Hoch found the medallion Sunday morning with the help from his son and daughter. He's been following the clues from the beginning and a reference to books led him to the library. But once he was there, finding the medallion wasn't easy.
"I looked underneath that side of the bush and I didn't find it so I basically crawled around the library on my hands and knees, all the way around the library looking under all the bushes, and all the shrubs and all the benches, came back to that same bush that I had checked first and I looked under the other side of it and it was there, so, I took the long road to get to it," Hoch said.
He wins $500 because he was wearing his fest button when he turned the medallion in and a plaque.
Hoch isn't new to medallion hunts. He also found the Oktoberfest Medallion in 2011.

text: Outside The Ring is the fifth solo album by Friðrik Ómar, but the first one originally written by himself. Young at age he started to write music, but in his home country Iceland he is more known for his great vocal ability and his nice voice which has ranked him as the one the best singers in Iceland. On his new album you find very nicely arranged melodies which Friðrik Ómar sings seamlessly. The songs are 10 in total. Friðrik Ómar co-writes three with Stefán Örn Gunnlaugsson and Karl O. Olgeirsson. The lyrics are made by Friðrik Ómar, Peter Fenner, Alma Goodman and Steinn Steinarr, the beloved icelandic poet. The theme song of the album is "Outside the ring", a poet by Steinn Steinarr, translated by Jón Óttar Ragnarsson but written by Friðrik Ómar. Great album that has got well deserved attention.

A Squid cache can be set to check other Squid servers (its peers) for cached web pages before going direct to the requested page. Peering your Squid caches can provide faster responses and lower costs. Cache peers exchange cached objects, returning them to the users faster and reducing upstream bandwidth costs.
Squid first looks for requested objects in its own cache. If the object is not in the cache, then Squid must retrieve it from another source. To oversimplify the algorithm: Squid creates an ordered list of possible sources.
This list consists of parent(s), sibling(s), and the origin server(s). Squid attempts to fetch the object from each server in order until it is successful, one of the servers responds with a 404 (object not found), or there are no more sources to try.
Access controls and ICP queries modify the list using these rules:
never_direct settings forbid Squid to contact the origin server(s) directly, Squid removes the origin server from the list.
always_direct settings require Squid to use the origin server, Squid removes all peers from the list.
cache_peer_access prevents a particular peer from being queried for this object, the peer is removed from the list.
Remaining peers are queried. Siblings (but not parents) that answer in the negative are removed.
Any remaining peers in the list are ordered according to speed of response.
Squid maintains a small database of response-times for origin servers. If going direct is an option, the origin server is placed in the list based on average weighted response time.
Peers need to tell each other which objects are in their caches. ICP and HTCP allow instant queries and responses. Digests are snapshots of what is currently in the cache.
Squid usually uses the ICP protocol to communicate between caches, and can use HTCP if both caches are configured for it. ICP and HTCP are similar enough that, unless noted otherwise, the article uses ICP to describe both.
Related articles:
Using Squid on Intermittent Connections
Installing and Configuring Squid
There are lots of ways to utilize multiple cache servers. Tell us what is working for you.
When Squid receives a request for an object that is not in its cache, it sends an ICP query packet to each of its configured peers. If at least one peer says it has the object, Squid requests the object from the fastest of these peers. If all the peers answer "no" or fail to respond before a timeout setting, Squid requests the object from the origin or fails, depending on
never_direct settings.
ICP uses untracked UDP packets. Because untracked UDP packets may be lost, dropped, or damaged, Squid uses a timeout value. Any queries which are not responded to in this time are assumed to be lost, and Squid drops those peers from its list for this request.
Squid uses a dynamic ICP timeout by default, but this can be overridden with
icp_query_timeout or capped with
icp_maximum_query_timeout if you find that the values that Squid calculates are suboptimal for your environment.
A cache digest is a block of URI keys which represents the set of objects the cache holds. The URIs are run through a deterministic algorithm which compacts the data and makes the keys. Digests are exchanged with digest-capable peers, and are used to determine whether a peer is likely to have a requested object.
Digests are subject to false hits and false misses, depending on the frequency of the exchange, but they reduce the immediate network traffic and are useful if the bandwidth between peers is narrow or unreliable.
Use a parent cache if you want to reduce your upstream costs and make page collection faster for your users, especially if the users are in groups which can have child caches.
Set up ACLs (Access Control List) for your downstream users:
acl cache_users src 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0
Give those users HTTP access to your cache:
http_access allow cache_users
They will also require MISS access, otherwise they'll be denied if requests aren't in the cache:
miss_access allow cache_users
Give them ICP access as well:
icp_access allow cache_users
Tell your cache-clients the cache's hostname, HTTP and ICP ports, and why they should be using it. A knowledgeable user is more likely to use the cache.
CAVEAT: The more caches you have downstream of you, the lower your hit-rate as a parent. Caches downstream of you will cache what they can, and pass up requests only for content that they do not have, or that is hard to cache. Every hit is still a benefit, even if the rate is low.
If your bandwidth is paid by the byte, you'll find that even a low hit-rate will cover the hardware and operating expenses.
Some ISPs give a cost reduction if you use their parent. Parent caches may contain the page you're about to want, providing faster service.
You will need:
no_query configuration option if your parent doesn't support ICP.
For each parent you have, add a line like this to your
cache_peer hostname parent HTTP_port ICP_port [OPTIONS]
cache_peer proxy.cache.example.org parent 3128 3130 no_query no-digest
Related Reading
Web Caching
If you have one parent, use the
no-query and
no-digest configuration options. If you're always going to request the object from the parent, there's no need to check for the object.
If you have multiple parents, ICP queries can improve performance. An example with two parents:
One parent says yes, the other says no. We use the one that said yes.
Both parents said yes. They both have it, so use the one that answered first. It's likely to be fastest.
Both parents said no. Again, whoever answered first.
One parent failed to respond. We go with the other one. The parent that didn't answer may have failed or be temporarily unreachable.
CAUTION: When a peer fails to respond to ICP queries in
dead_peer_timeout seconds, Squid assumes it is unavailable or unreachable until it sees another ICP response from that peer. While a peer is in this "presumed dead" state, Squid will send ICP queries, but won't wait for it to answer. Squid will base decisions on the responses of the "live" peers.
If all your parents are "dead" according to this test and Squid is not configured to go direct, Squid will not be able to return objects that are not in its cache.
Sibling caches work well where you have groups of users. Each group's local proxy shares the cache with other proxies, only "going forward" to a parent or origin server if none of the caches have a fresh copy of the requested object.
Use sibling caches if several caches are behind some sort of bottleneck but have good connections to each other.
Siblings can group together to allow several smaller computers to simulate one expensive computer and serve as a larger proxy.
To allow another cache to use you as a sibling, configure your cache as if it were a parent cache, but instead of giving MISS access, deny it to your siblings.
acl sibling1 src 192.168.44.55/255.255.255.255
miss_access deny sibling1
To use another cache as a sibling, both caches must support either ICP/HTCP or cache digests. These allow Squid to check for objects in other caches.
cache_peer entry looks like this:
cache_peer hostname sibling HTTP_port ICP_port [OPTIONS]
cache_peer sibling1.myinternalnet.org sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only
Note the
proxy-only option. Normally, caching objects fetched from a sibling is a waste of disk space. If the bandwidth to a sibling is narrow, lossy or expensive, consider leaving the option out and caching objects from that sibling.
FALSE HITS: (ICP only) Because ICP does not communicate request headers (only the URI is presented in an ICP query), it is possible for a peer to return an affirmative for a given URI but not be able to satisfy the request from cache.
cache1 sends an ICP query to
cache2 for http://www.example.org/index.html.
cache2 has a cached copy of the object (87,376 seconds old), and answers in the affirmative.
cache1 then issues the request to
cache2, but the request headers contain "Max-Age: 86400").
cache2's copy is too old to satisfy this request.
cache1 has
miss_access on
cache2, then
cache2 will go forward to the origin server (or a parent) and fetch a new copy,
If not,
cache2 will return a 504 HTTP response and
cache1 will have to select a new source for the object.
HTCP incorporates the request headers into the query packet, and is thus almost immune to false hits -- although they are still theoretically possible under rare circumstances.

Farnsworth in Amphibian Form
I feel like a failure. Here we are, well into 2010, and not one single update on Kyle Farnsworth. However, being the person I am, I refuse to let this situation stand. So, after some painstaking research, I found a recent video of Farnsworth in action:
Crying, orgasming and only god knows what else. The man is just full of odd noises. Hope you didn't have any romantic plans for the evening but happy Saturday nonetheless.

My goodness, but you are a bit of a sick puppy or was that a sick turtle??? Anyway, totally grossed out for the day.
There's the reason why turtles live well past 100 years. Did anyone think it was the shell? C'mon.
Who needs Wild Kingdom when we got RSBS.
You just never know what you will find at RSBS.
So among the fan blogs, were you guys among the first ones here?
Turtles really live that long??
I was about 57 seconds into this and I was feeling a little violated by the disturbing image of Kyle Farnsworth mounted atop another…KYLE FARNSWORTH. Then I realized that you were just fooling around and it was really just a couple of turtles who kind of all look the same anyway. I feel a bit better now but I have a feeling that I will be haunted by those images for minutes to come. Have a jolly good weekend.

DENVER, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RE/MAX agents continue to outperform all competitors, ranking as the most productive among the elite national real estate franchises. According to preliminary results from the 2014 RISMedia Power Broker Report Top 500, the productivity of RE/MAX agents was more than double the average of agents at competing brokerages. RE/MAX agents on average not only closed more transaction sides, but also claimed a sales volume 69% higher than the average of all competing agents in the Report.
"There are some real estate companies with more offices and agents in the Power Broker Report," said RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly. "But the real test for any homebuyer or seller is whether their agent gets the job done. And, year after year, the numbers show that RE/MAX agents are the most productive among the national brands."
According to the Report, in 2013, RE/MAX agents averaged $4.3 million in sales volume - a 26% increase over 2012, while competing agents averaged just $2.5 million. RE/MAX agents also averaged 17.5 transaction sides each – an increase of 4.3% over their 2012 performance. The average for all other agents in the report was just 8.4 sides.
"Our agents are professionals who perform at the highest level," said Kelly. "RE/MAX agents are not satisfied with the status quo. And you see that in the millions of satisfied consumers who have chosen a RE/MAX agent to help them realize the dream of owning their own home."
The preliminary report ranked the country's 500 best performing brokerages by total transaction sides. RE/MAX placed 110 brokerages among the 500 participating brokerages - that's one in five.
RISMedia will release a final Power Broker report this summer, which will include a total of 1,000 brokerages. The preliminary data was published in this month's edition of RISMedia's Real Estate magazine.

SHOHOLA, PA — Shohola Boy Scout Troop #76 recently participated in the 2013 Klondike Derby sponsored by the Delaware River District of the Boy Scouts of America. This year, the event was held at Thunder View Farms, Grahamsville, NY and the theme was "Down on the Farm."
The course consisted of eight different stations including first aid, building a shelter, tree identification, fire building, bridge building and ice rescue.
To prepare for the event, Troop #76 built two different sleds, using strict specifications and guidelines provided by the district, prepped and loaded with materials and equipment needed to navigate the various stations. One team, the "Eagle Patrol," finished 1.5 points away from first place. Visit www.shoholatroop76.scoutlander.com [2].
