NORMAL -- Tricia Reimer has trapped 17 stray cats in her Bone Drive backyard but there still are dozens of others who taunt her dog and use her backyard as a litter box.
Recently she saw yet another new litter. The kittens were so deformed, they could barely walk.
"It's been a really serious problem," she said.
But a possible solution is at least two weeks away.
The city council tabled action on a proposed cat leash ordinance Monday night that would have allowed animal control to trap strays and euthanize them.
Instead, members decided to study an idea that would mesh the work of animal control with that of the Sterile Feral Foundation. The foundation traps the stray cats, has them neutered or spayed and returns them to the same area.
"A leash law will not affect the overpopulation," said Sue Stelma, president of the foundation. "Trap, neuter and return is much more successful."
Stelma said once the cats are returned, the foundation provides them with food.
"They can't have babies, they don't wander and they won't let other (cats) come in" the colony, she said.
The method successfully reduced one colony of cats from 35 to 14, for instance, she said.
"Thirty-five to 14 is not something I want in my neighborhood," said Councilwoman Sonja Reece. "That doesn't keep them out of the sandbox or garden ... there's still a potential to be a nuisance animal."
Councilman Adam Nielsen said he's received several calls about stray cat colonies over time.
"It blows my mind we haven't been able to help," he said. "I'm ready to take action."
But Mayor Chris Koos said while he is bothered by the problem, "I'm hearing a number of strategies.
"We need to take time, to study, get better information on what can be done."
McLean County Health Department Bob Keller said animal control cannot do anything about stray cats without a local ordinance because state law does not prohibit cats from wandering.
If animal control caught cats without a local ordinance backing it up and the cat turned out to be someone pets, Keller said the department would be liable.
Town attorney Wayne Karplus said that is part of the problem -- knowing what is a feral or stray cat and what is a family pet.
Karplus said while the Sterile Feral Foundation works particularly well on cat colonies that hang around restaurants, its not as effective in neighborhoods because the food source can't be controlled.
"It could take years to catch them all," he said.
"It sounds like there is no method that is foolproof," Nielsen said.
Nielsen and Councilman Jason Chambers voted against tabling the issue. While Koos suggested the council give town staff up to 30 days to consider an alternative ordinance, Councilman Parker Lawlis said residents living with the stray cat population shouldn't have to wait more than two weeks.
City Manager Mark Peterson said staff could come back to the council within two weeks but he wasn't optimistic a solution could be worked out using both animal control and the Sterile Feral Foundation.
Who doesn’t crave a beach party with a nice, cool, small, and compact deflated stand-up paddleboard along with a bunch of friends on a summer afternoon? Inflatable paddleboards are easy to carry, travel friendly, cushion companions are highly durable to withstand the water pressure every time. These tough yet foolproof paddleboards find their use in various boat sports such as surfing, windsurfing, and kayaking. The growth in demand for inflatable paddle boards is because of their compact nature as compared to their counterpart, i.e., hard paddleboards.

This is on my Left wrist, As u can see from the stencil for some reason It didnt turn out like the stencil huh? The guy that owns my tatt shop Designed this for me, Not the guy that does my Tats but his boss and I loved it but The guy that did it made it look so Different!! I had this designed cause I wanted script that was just one line writing and he did it to where there is empty spaces In between the letters, see what I mean?? I wanted it just like the stencil looks and he managed to do something tottaly different!!look at the diff in the C and the T. What the hell??? I LOVE my tatt artist and he has done all 19 of my tatts and I love evey single one but how did he screw this up when all he had to do was trace!!I searched for The script I wanted this in for over a month and would not settle because I wanted the script to be sooo pretty and I waited until I found the perfect script befor I would get this tatt and I was so picky about it that I could not find something good enough after a month. I wanted the script to be one lined instead of outlined, I wanted it to be in cursive, I couldnt find a script I liked and I would not settle for one I didnt and I found one that gave me the idea of how I wanted the script and I showed it to the owner of the tatt shop and asked him if he could write my name similar to that But I wanted my own uniqueness tio it and I wanted the T to look like a cross because I am a Christian and I have always wanted a cross tatt but couldnt decide how to do it or where to put it where it would look classy and not trashy. so he drew this up for me(what you see in the stencil) and I loved it, I loved the C and The T was Beautiful, I loved how he made it look like a cross and made it look so awesome, I was super excited to get it but what I got was a completly different script that I wanted!! Look at the difference!! How could he mess that up? it was foolproof!! But some how he made it into a piece of crap and the T dont even get me started on the T!! The stencil T was My fav and I LOVED it, I was so excited about That T/Cross. look at the diff in the T's, It Is NOTHING like I wanted, It doenst even look a Ceoss!!! I couldnt believe it. Now I do NOT regret a single tatt on my body and LOVE every single one of them but this is a huge dissapointment. It is the worst work I have ever seen my artist do and It was so SIMPLE, I have seen him free hand HUGE tatts and They are beautiful. How did he manage to do THis!!!! I think he might have been stoned that night or something cause there is NO WAY u could mess this thing up but somehow he managed!! And Now I wasted perfectly good space on my skin. I have my hubbys name on my right wrist and wanted mine on my left to match his and now its just horrible. and I dont wanna cover it cause like I said I got my name to match his on my other wrist and There is NO fixing this, I dont think it can be fixed. It makes me sad :(
I have developed a method to create complex virtual bodies of boats and cars, all based on only 4 curves in space. This is a design process outcome, and serves the design community as a tool for creating cars, boats, and a number of other things. I will keep experimenting with this until it is foolproof, but already, it can be used to create shapes like shown here in under 5 minutes.

This species is a regular visitor, usually arriving in flock sized numbers. These birds are usually spotted in large flocks; they swarm over my thistle feeder in a tumbling mass, and usually perch close enough to permit great photo ops. They are plentiful during high summer and typically ignore my presence, some even landing on my focused camera! Sexes are determinable... but it's not foolproof, especially for first-year birds (and first-year birders)!

“If you can solve a problem with a simpler solution lower in the stack, you should. It’s less fragile, more foolproof, and just works.”
This year, 2026 is the centenary of the formation of Zeiss Ikon, a major player in European camera manufacture in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 20th century.
To mark this anniversary, I've decided to use a different Zeiss Ikon camera every two weeks throughout the year, a project I'm calling “Twenty-six in Twenty-six”.
Zeiss Ikon launched their series of Contaflex cameras in 1953. Over the following 20 years or so, twelve versions were made with ever increasing degrees of sophistication and indeed weight. A wide range of accessories was available, and these precision made leaf shuttered SLRs proved very popular. The Contaflex 126 is a different beast altogether, it may share the name and bear a superficial resemblance to the rest of the family, but it's something of a cuckoo in the nest.
Kodak introduced the 126, or Instamatic cartridge in 1963. It was intended to provide a simple, foolproof way for a growing numbers of less technically savvy users to load film into their cameras. Although the film is 35mm wide, the format is not the same. The film, which has one perforation per frame and sits within a plastic cartridge, is backed by a roll of paper, and gives square negatives measuring 28 x 28mm. Until very recently Instagram's native format was square, and it may be that the name itself was riffing on the Instamatic brand.
While the format was unashamedly aimed at the amateur snapshot market, many of the major manufacturers added a token higher end SLR 126 model to their range. This is a bit of a puzzle to me, one criticism of the 126 cartridge is that the absence of a pressure plate to keep the film absolutely flat might theoretically impair the image quality, yet surely any photographer with such technical concerns wouldn't be put off by the easily learnable step of loading a 35mm cassette into a camera. Nonetheless, Rollei, Kodak, Ricoh and of course the prestigious Zeiss Ikon, felt the need to pitch in.
Unlike the “normal” Contaflexes, which at best have interchangeable front elements, the 126 version has fully interchangeable lenses,though with a mount which is unique to this one model. Optical physics dictate that the longest practical focal length that can be achieved by swapping the front element is 115mm, but the 126 range of lenses went up to 200mm, though it seems that very few of these lenses were actually made. The other key difference between the 35mm and 126 Contaflexes, is that the latter employ a focal plane shutter rather than the traditional leaf shutter.
Today, with the only 126 film available being long expired, it's actually quite useful to be able to set the camera manually. The oft quoted rule of thumb that film loses sensitivity at a rate of one stop per decade, means that an ISO 100 film made in the 1970s would need to be exposed at around ISO 3 today. Most consumer Instamatic cameras won't allow this, but using an aperture of f2.8, and the shutter speed of 1/30th, it's practical to use the Contaflex 126 in reasonable daylight. The film is very expired Fujicolor Super HR 100, developed in the Bellini C41 kit.

so if i use this stuff will i look like the girl on the box? my hair is naturally dark brown (with a few greys) but i like to lighten it up just a tad. i think it's just too contrasty otherwise with my lighter skin. this stuff is foolproof by the way. just follow the directions and keep close to your natural color. because my hair is so long and thick, i buy two boxes. this is a little more golden than i usually use, but it's close enough.

"Setting up a foolproof electronic burglar alarm is easy with two inexpensive Knight-Kits made by Allied Radio Corp, 100 N. Western Ave, Chicago, 80, Ill. The heart of the system is an ultra-sensitive photoelectric relay which costs only $12.95 in kit form. The 'eye' is positioned to intercept an imperceptible beam of light which crosses the only path a burglar might take and it triggers the alarm the instant he breaks the beam. Stepping out of the beam avails him nothing - the alarm continues to sound."

So, if you are a regular visitor to shirt.woot, you'll eventually stumble across a shirt designed by Fablefire. And there's a good chance it might feature a character, who for lack of a better name, I will call "Meat Bunny." Dorothy looooves this character. She thinks he's hilarious. Every time he pops up on a shirt we have to grab it. (It doesn't hurt that killer bunnies appear to be a recurring theme in my shirt collection, either).
We've featured one of them before - "Meatitarian" - and today we can add this "I Heart Meat" shirt to that pile. And this week I'll be feature a bunch of other shirts from our collection that feature this character.
PS: I realize I just gave the folks over at shirt.woot a foolproof way to extract all the money from my wallet, and I'm trusting you guys not to tell them about it.
PPS: Who wants their steak stewed? Ew.
This species is a regular visitor. It likely wants to bathe or feed, and is checking out the surroundings before proceeding lower. These birds are usually spotted in large flocks; they swarm over my thistle feeder in a tumbling mass, and usually perch close enough to permit great photo ops. They are plentiful during high summer and typically ignore my presence. Sexes are determinable... but it's not foolproof, especially for first-year birds. I believe this one to be male.

...I'm gonna let it shine. I'm determined. That's what I thought as I sat for this self-portrait.
I had a foolproof picture to post, close up of the candle in my hands, and almost did post that one instead. This self-portrait was an experiment. It was hard for me to decide which to post, this or the foolproof one, but I think this fits the reason I undertook this 365 Project more: to learn while playing, to experiment, to stretch my creative muscles, and take some creative risks.
It's certainly not perfect, but it's compelling (at least to me), and the first "selfie" I've taken since I started the project that shows a substantial part of my face and body that doesn't make me cringe. So here's to stretching my creative muscles and taking more creative risks!

under the spreading chestnut tree. The low floating branches and large leaves extending far beyond the trunk, rise and fall and twist in the quiet of a light breeze... early evening air currents flowing downhill through the tree. The phone camera has difficulty with the low light quality and the sway of the leaves... the blur describes the upward direction of movement at that moment.. Very elegant leaf sets. Facing outwards, the array of flowers as they travel in time, sit high like tall ships riding the ocean waves. Notice elsewhere young damson and cherries forming. Maybe the pollinators have been more active than I imagined. Really from what I could see, the early spring was more conducive to insect activity than the close of spring and early summer.

From what I have found, an old standard by Webb (1963) on the identification process still has to be beaten. Look forward to checking this. Meet squirrel face to face by window this morning. Grey squirrels appear to be rapidly increasing in numbers and they are only a few miles from the nearest colony of reds. With pressure on current habitat created by the greys, it will be difficult for any organisation to maintain that essential separation.

The carrot cake itselt was alright, but we both felt that the addition of the egg and floss was redundant~ There are too many layers; it made the taste confusing and took the limelight away from the main character - the carrot cake.
I would say just go for the pan-fried carrot cake - it doesn't really need any fancy dressing to taste good!
In a nutshell, we probably won't be back for their mains; just the safer options like fries and such, and the ever foolproof 功夫奶茶 (kung fu iced milk tea)!
Some people think that a cage can protect them from harm. They are wrong. A cage can only protect you from some kinds of harm, like angry lions or hungry sharks. But there are other kinds of harm that a cage cannot protect you from, like boredom, loneliness or existential dread. In fact, a cage might even make those things worse. So the next time you feel like hiding in a cage, remember that it's not a foolproof solution. You might be better off facing your fears and living your life to the fullest. Unless, of course, there's a lion or a shark nearby. Then you should definitely get in the cage.
