Pancake met this gorgeous Australian Shepherd while donating some items to the Kentucky Humane Society today, and what a beautiful blue-eyed pup this was!
Purchased these for my dog. They were rancid. They did have the USDA seal of approval on the packaging. "Shrink wrapped". They were farmed in Kentucky. Does not appear this animal got much exercise, minerals or sunlight and was quite stressed: www.jbc.org/content/65/3/643.full.pdf
THE INFLUENCE OF SUNLIGHT ON BONE DEVELOPMENT
IN SWINE.
BY L. A. MAYNARD, S. A. GOLDBERG, AND R. C. MILLER.
(From the Department of Animal Husbandry and the Department of Comparatiue
Pathology and Bacteriology, Cornell University, Ithaca.)
(Received for publication, July 6, 1925.)
A report has recently been made by the writers (1) on the dietary
relationships and the pathology of a condition in swine popularly
referred to as stiffness, paralysis, rickets, and by other terms.
In this previous study the principal and constantly occurring
lesions in the stiff pigs were found in the bones and these lesions
were accompanied by a deficiency of calcium and phosphorus as
shown by chemical analysis of the femurs. The stiffness was
found to occur with a ration low either in calcium or in the factor
aiding its assimilation. The correction of the ration with respect
to these deficiencies was found effective for preventing or curing
the trouble.
In this previous study the animals were housed in pens on the
north side of the colony house and were never exposed to any
direct sunlight. In view of the findings that the stiffness was
apparently a result of faulty mineral nutrition the question naturally
arose as to how the results would be modified where the pigs
were exposed to sunlight. The results reported in the present
paper deal with a study of this question.

Note if one does file a complaint with the USDA on a rancid or compromised product this will be the response:
"After receiving your complaint, FSIS conducted an analysis and review of CCMS (Consumer Complaint Monitoring System) data, as well as the inspection of records from the establishment that produced the product in questions. We did not find any trends or conditions at the establishment that warrant further action at this time. However, we have notified the manufacturer and FSIS establishment personnel of your complaint, and they may conduct additional review."
Got this pumpkin from Kroger's to cut up for a casserole. Needless to say we were not able to use much of it. With their defunct return policy I'm sorry I cut it up. Would have made great target practice. : )

Good Morning -
I was just walking my dog out front and noticed the sidewalk has become uneven and has settled in a few spots - I'm sure the board is aware of this but wanted to ensure you were as this could be a liability if anyone were to get injured, trip or fall. It is quite noticeable and many joggers do run by there as there were this morning. This appears to be an unstable area as the sidewalk has also buckled on the other side of the street as well so you may want to check that. I also see the area adjacent to the blacktop (road) has also settled a few inches so again it may be prudent for you to get some compaction tests run as this was also close to where we'd had the water main undermining a few years ago.
As always, ensure your insurance covers ground settlement in this area. Mine changed this without my knowledge, FYI.
The area in question is directly in front of the stone entrance in front of David Ballard's home where I see there was a water markout not too long ago. You will see where the concrete sidewalk blocks have shifted.

There is a foul odor emanating from this Navy Dock in front of the Ford Plant in Louisville, KY, USA. We are unsure of it's origin. The odor can be detected while on foot as it appears to be confined to a local area - it is similar to burned rubber. It burns our eyes and respiratory systems. I am not sure how Ford Employees tolerate it. I hope they have respirators to use.
About The River City Radio Controllers, AMA Gold Leader Club:
The River City Radio Controllers, A.M.A. Gold Leader Club #1263, was formed in the early 1970’s operating from a field on the Freys Hill side of E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park in eastern Jefferson County. In 1995, due to encroaching development, the Club moved to its current flying site on the Hurstbourne Parkway side of the Park, which was dedicated “Steve Henry Field” in honor of former Lt. Governor, Steven L. Henry. Due to our commitment to our surrounding community, the club has achieved AMA Gold Leader club status. Additionally, our club received the Jefferson County Commissioners’ Community Service Award for its annual “Wings for Kids” Benefit Air Show. In 2013, our flying field was renamed “Bill Fluke Field” in honor of one of our most popular and hard-working Club Presidents who recently passed away.
Here are some highlights about our club and facilities:
Our Club – Location
The club is currently comprised of approximately 130 radio control pilots who are licensed by the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Pilots fly helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft with electric, glow fuel, or gasoline motors. Throughout the year, the club has fun-fly events that anyone may attend for free. Event information may be found on our calendar.
Our club is located in Tom Sawyer State Park in Louisville, KY (map).
Visitors are welcomed any time the front gate is open.
The flying field is open 7 days a week from 10 am until dark (weather permitting).
Facilities
We have a 500 ft x 50 ft paved runway with an adjacent grass runway.
Dedicated helicopter flying field.
Shelter area with storage and grills for cooking.
Bleachers for spectators.
Large gravel parking lot.
Aircraft
The aircraft are flown with radio control systems that have a range of several miles. Planes are typically flown within a 1,500 foot radius of the runway. There are nearly as many different models of radio controlled planes as there are full scale planes. Some of the more popular aircraft flown at the “Wings for Kids Air Show” will include WWI and WWII scale models, civilian scale, aerobatic scale, aerobatic 3D (extreme aerobatic), turbine jets, electric jets, electric and glow helicopters, and extreme flight 3D helicopters. There are other fun fly aircraft that perform during the show including a candy drop for children.
Aircraft Size and Speed
Airplanes and helicopters range in size from ultra-micros, which have about a 10 inch wingspan, to aircraft with wingspans greater than 9 feet. Most planes fly between 35 and 75 mph. Some planes and most jets will exceed 100 mph and may approach 150+ mph. Helicopters are also able to fly at extreme speeds and fly extreme aerobatics well beyond what is capable in a full-scale helicopter.
Aircraft Cost
The cost of a helicopter or airplane is usually related to size and complexity. Most airplanes range from $400 to several thousand dollars. However, beginner electrics may start as low as $100 for those looking to get started in the hobby. On the other end of the spectrum, a scale turbine jet may cost upwards of $15,000.
Learn To Fly
So how do I get started in radio controlled flying? That is a question we hear a lot. At RCRC, we believe you should be able to “try before you buy”, so we encourage beginners to contact our club president (Doug Bailey) who will arrange for a person from our club to provide training. This allows you to fly with the safety-net of an experienced pilot that can automatically take the controls from you if things start to go south! This is a great way to test the waters of RC before diving in!
Call Doug at 502 930 5753 to arrange your training flight.

Pancake and I have seen this Taurus at this location for over a month - 24/7. We finally decided to look inside the car to ensure there were no dead bodies inside. There weren't - just some notebooks, log books and a bottle on the seat. The Ford probably broke down and they left it there.
At first glance this bluegill's nest is notably different than other local residents. The creative digging and clearing, in the shape of a bear's claw is situated behind a large rock providing him solid insulation and an exceptional noise and rfi barrier while also giving that added security knowing he and his family will be protected from the various local environmental assaults and predators which abound in this area. As you can see he chose not to utilize the bright green moss as other fish preferred and his surrounding berm is asymmetric and not clearly defined by height or shape. He also chose a variety of low-keyed colors, shapes and materials including sticks, neutral colored small stones, tiny white scallop shells, mud, and one black walnut.
This fish most likely has had or witnessed previous violent encounters, may be a rapid metabolizer of the CYP2D6 gene, has been exposed to the various pharmaceuticals in our water, may be either old or tired, or very brilliant in his clever defense plan to protect his prospective mate and brood.
There is a radio station on the top of the hill in front of this lake.

Black Walnuts:
Allelopathy
Black walnut is allelopathic, as it excretes chemicals into its environment that harm competition. While many species of plants are allelopathic, walnuts are particularly famous for it, records of walnut toxicity to other plants have been observed as far back as the first century when Pliny the Elder wrote: "The shadow of walnut trees is poison to all plants within its compass."[28] Walnuts have since been observed as being toxic to many plants including herbaceous and woody plants.
Like other walnuts, the roots, inner bark, nut husks, and leaves contain a nontoxic chemical called hydrojuglone,[28] when exposed to air or soil compounds it is oxidized into juglone that is biologically active and acts as a respiratory inhibitor to some plants. Juglone is poorly soluble in water and does not move far in the soil and will stay most concentrated in the soil directly beneath the tree.[29] Even after a tree is removed the soil where the roots once were will still contain juglone for several years after the tree is removed as more juglone will be released as the roots decay.[29] Well drained and aerated soils will host a healthy community of soil microbes and these microbes will help to break down the juglone.
Symptoms of juglone poisoning include foliar yellowing and wilting.[29] A number of plants are particularly sensitive. Apples, tomatoes, pines, and birch are poisoned by juglone, and should not be planted in proximity to a black walnut.[4][30]
Interaction with horses
Horses are susceptible to laminitis from exposure to black walnut wood in bedding.[31]
The Homeless can frequently be spotted here in Louisville, Kentucky, USA sleeping (or dying) under various underpasses. Many have treatable medical conditions, many are military Veterans, many have addictions, many are victims of horrid sexual and physical abuses (a good portion of these rapes and abuses, experienced by both men and women, occur while staying in shelters). What is so puzzling about this is directly adjacent to this bridge is the University of Louisville's Forcht Center for Entrepreneurship. These "Entrepreneurs" will step over the homeless bodies shown here in order to get to their classes. Some of the bodies shown here were not homeless but were simply discharged from medical facilities and dropped here after being cut & drugged.
What is curious also is that if one takes the time to sit down and speak to these individuals one will learn many have just had medical procedures and surgeries performed at the University of Louisville and immediately discharged back onto the streets without further placement into any type of care or recovery unit. One person I'd spoken with indicated their medical transport never showed up and they were stranded.
I encountered one person who had just had a surgery on their leg, had an 8" oozing scar, and had fallen here. They were not able to get up. This individual had been laying under this bridge for days. Needless to say, the police were called and the EMT's did take this woman back, unfortunately, to the University of Louisville. Police officers I spoke with on the scene indicated this is a frequent occurrence. It was not recommended the woman return to U of L, however this was the only care center she was familiar with.
This post is dedicated to a long time friend, a brilliant man, exceptional chef, wonderful human being, who is currently in Norton Hospital, ICU, 200 E. Chestnut Street, Louisville, KY 40202. We are not sure if he is going to survive.

It was a beautiful Fall day today as we watched this particular fisherman bring in a few fish - one which resembled a Walleye - there were a number of small boats out there. I was stunned there were any fish remaining in the Ohio near Louisville, Kentucky and Clarksville, Indiana as polluted as it is. The runoff from Indiana as you will see in a following photo teems with surface oil with a reddish tinge. The "beach" itself is trash and litter infested with plastic bottles, jugs, tires, drums and oil containers. What humans, the power companies and industries upstream have done to this river, future generations and the people who live along it and downstream is an abomination and criminal.

For at least an hour the red flags were up. The reason? The lifeguards said there was a school of bluefish headed this way (they radio each other). Another said the bluefish are not the threat - the threat is the bull sharks waiting around the rocks for the bluefish. There were people fishing 100' north of here and none of them caught anything. One man said he was fishing so he did not have to vacuum at home. Although there are many badge checkers on these beaches, we did not see anyone checking with the fishermen as to whether they were using live bait near the swimming/surfing beaches. The human population on these beaches was rather sparse.
We did not see any signs of bluefish nor did we see any bull sharks. We did see a few dolphins swim by. There were very few gulls in the area, and those that were standing around were quiet. We did not see one fisherman catch anything although one said he'd caught a 5' brown shark earlier.
