Coyote/Wolf Theory
Eastern coyotes act like little wolves and are more 'pack oriented' than western coyotes. Oftentimes eastern coyotes hunt in packs. I've seen this with my own eyes. And when I call in a coyote here in NY, it is rarely ever alone...
A long time houndsman shared his theory on eastern coyotes with me after I returned his lost hound last winter.
He theorized that the eastern coyote surely has wolf in it's blood, if only for the color variations that are present here in the east.
He surmised that somewhere on their eastern migration, coyotes and wolves crossed, thereby introducing some wacky colors into the coyote genepool that are not present in most western coyotes...
coyotes out west rarely have the wide range of color variations that are present in eastern coyotes. I've seen coyotes that looked like creamsicles (orange/white), silver/white, rusty red/brown, dark gray/black, and "regular" colored coyotes. This color variation is a trait that is quite common amongst wolves...
This was the opinion of a man who has hunted coyotes with hounds for almost 30years, so I'm just passing this info along....

Walther p22
Walther P22 (.22LR) Handgun
| The Walther® P22 is a user-friendly adaptation of the larger P99. The same look. The same feel. Only three quarters of the size of its big brother. But this little guy loads rimfire .22 LR rounds in double action for the first round, and single action for remaining rounds until the magazine is empty. Unleashing the first round is easy with only about 12 pounds of pressure required to activate the double action and emptying the magazine is even easier with single action requiring just under 5 pounds of pressure. |
| The double/single action is due to its external hammer, a change from the P99. Decocking the Walther® P22 after activating single action mode can be done by turning on the ambidextrous, slide-mounted safety with your thumb, preventing the hammer from firing the round when the trigger is pulled to release the hammer. Of course, firing the Walther® P22 to begin with is impossible without a magazine locked firmly in place. This is because of the P22’s magazine disconnect safety feature. Without a magazine firmly in, the trigger bar passes beneath the P22’s lockwork due to pressure from the disconnect spring. The force of the disconnect spring also functions in the rapid ejection of a cleared magazine when released. Magazine ejection is triggered by an ambidextrous lever located behind and below the trigger of the Walther® P22. |
| For comfort and customization, the P22 has additional backstraps to adjust grip and is available with barrel lengths of 3.4” to 5”. Barrels can be interchanged within minutes at the operators will. Like many other Walther® pistols, the P22 can also be modified with a number of accessories including, but not limited to, lasers, sights, high capacity magazines and red dot scopes for target shooting enjoyment. |

Intervention Idiots
Re-writing history is an illusion many have pursued through out history and it involves all walks of life. The victors write history, when there is no clear winner, there are versions abound. Suddenly the altruistic hag appears and it is evident the version she will present. It is all a cloak, for if the demons of her past appeared there would again be another version to be told. The three in tow are social misfits unable to even survive day to day yet they have much to say. All have destroyed many lives around them lying, stealing, cheating yet...the disgrace.

Bankers
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies"- Thomas Jefferson

Noam Chomsky
On occasion I read Noam's work or interview's. When asked if he votes the reply is much like my own.I often do, without much enthusiasm. In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

(WCCO)-
Click to enlarge -
AP
The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced the schedule Wednesday, which includes 217 state highway projects and 66 safety, improvement and repair work projects.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty made the announcement, stating the road projects are a foundation to the state's transportation infrastructure.
"Minnesota's transportation system is a cornerstone to a strong and vibrant state economy," Pawlenty said. "Our administration has invested more than $5 billion on more than 1,900 projects since 2003 to battle congestion, improve safety, and foster economic growth."
The Highway 169/Interstate 494 interchange in the Twin Cities and the bridge and pavement replacement of I-35 in Duluth are part of the 2010 state road construction program.
Projects in the Twin Cities metro area include:
• Converting Highway 169 at Interstate 494 to a freeway to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in Bloomington, Eden Prairie and Edina ($150 million).
• Rebuilding the Highway 52 Lafayette Bridge in St. Paul ($46.2 million).
• Constructing a new interchange at Highway 101 and Highway 13 in Savage ($20 million).
• Resurfacing Interstate 94 from Western Avenue to Highway 280 in St. Paul ($11.05 million).
Projects in northern and central Minnesota include:
• Replacing and repairing bridge and pavement from I-35 from Boundary Avenue to 26th Avenue East in Duluth ($70 million).
• Reconstructing, resurfacing and building Highway 61 from Duluth to Grand Portage to improve safety ($13.7 million).
• Expanding Highway 71 from two to four lanes, adding turn lanes south of Bemidji and building a new bridge over Highway 2 ($13.5 million).
• Constructing roundabout, reconstructing Highway 95 and Mille Lacs County Road 29 bridges ($2.7 million).
• Reconstructing Highway 25 in Pierz and installing sidewalks, curbs, gutters, sewers, utilities and street lights ($2.6 million).
• Reconstructing Mississippi River bridges on Highway 10 bypass in Little Falls-damaged during spring 2010 flooding ($1.5 million).
Projects in southern Minnesota include:
• Building a four-lane alignment and 10 bridges on Highway 14 south of Waseca ($56 million).
• Constructing a four-lane divided highway bypass, building bridges and installing lighting on Highway 23 near Paynesville ($32 million).
• Build a highway interchange and frontage road on Highway 52 near Pine Island in Olmsted and Goodhue counties ($30 million).
• Constructing a four-lane road on Highway 59/Highway 60 to Nobles County Road 4 in Worthington to improve safety and mobility ($23 million).
• Replacing railroad tracks, building turnouts, resurfacing grade crossings and installing grade crossing safety equipment in Sibley County ($7 million).
• Resurfacing Highway 60 from Worthington to Wilder. The project will use a warm-mix asphalt that saves energy ($6.2 million).

FLOOD 2010
St. Paul Prepares For Rising Mississippi River
ST. PAUL (WCCO) ―-

"This is a unique situation this year because it's flooding a month earlier than our historical crests are," said Gaspardo, from the Padelford Packet Boat Co.
The Mississippi River will hit flood stage in downtown St. Paul by late Thursday.
Parts of Harriet Island, where Gaspardo docks his boat, are expected to flood.
At a news conference on Wednesday, City emergency management director Rick Larkin said they moved up their flood forecast by 24 hours.
Larkin said the water level is expected to rise more than three feet to 14 feet by late Thursday.
Officials are predicting that the river will rise another four feet to 18 feet by Monday afternoon, qualifying as a major flood.
Mayor Chris Coleman declared an emergency, which allows the city to request assistance from higher levels of government if needed.
Larkin said the city will close several low-lying streets on Saturday. He says they are preparing to close Harriet Island Regional Park across the Mississippi from downtown St. Paul if the river rises to 17 feet.
You have to go back to April of 2001 to understand why the preparation is so important. That year, the river was over its banks, consuming Holman Field, the downtown airport, and engulfing much of Harriet Island.
Gaspardo said back then, he couldn't cruise on the water for six weeks.
Steel hulls on the base of the boats should protect his possessions this time and an updated dock is now held together by four pilings.
"The facility was kind of overbuilt with flooding in mind, and the pressures of the river," said Gaspardo.
Holman Field will get to test the new floodwall built after the 2001 flood. Temporary parts of the wall are going up this week, closing two of the airport's three runways.
Larkin said crews have set up concrete barriers to prevent damage and stop debris from hitting buildings on Harriet Island.
Gaspardo doesn't expect to relive what happened nine years ago, believing the precautions he's taken will keep his boat business afloat.
Officials said they are watching forecast closely because it changes daily, and depending on precipitation, could change flood levels for better or for worse.

Super Snow To Begin Before Super Bowl
(WCCO)-
Click to enlarge - (File)
Jupiter Images
It'll be a long storm, according to WCCO Meteorologist Ron Trenda, who said it'll likely cause a mess for three bouts of rush hour, including Monday morning, Monday evening and Tuesday morning.
The snow will last much of the next few days, beginning Sunday afternoon to early evening. About an inch is possible for Sunday afternoon, with 2 to 3 inches possible overnight Sunday. Another 3 to 4 inches are expected for Monday, plus 2 to 3 inches Monday night. Finally, 1 to 2 inches will fall, ending the snowstorm on Tuesday morning.
By the end of the storm, we could see upwards of 10 inches of snow, Trenda said.
The heaviest snow will head in from the west and will unfortunately linger over the Twin Cities right around rush hour Monday evening.
That snow will continue into Tuesday morning, with a winter storm watch in place for 6 p.m. Sunday through 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories are also in effect for areas of the state.
Temperatures will stay relatively mild, ranging in the low to mid 20s, which is just slightly below average for this time of year, Trenda said.
Wisconsin shouldn't see quite as much snow but will get totals ranging around 5 to 8 inches.
The big issue here will be the falling snow for slow commutes. Drivers are cautioned to drive slow and plan ahead. Trenda said typically the first inch or two can be the most dangerous because drivers tend to keep their speeds high -- when the third and fourth inch falls, there's typically no choice but to slow down.

COYOTE BOUNTY
Concern Over Coyotes Prompts Minn. Bounty Bill
MONTEVIDEO, Minn. (AP) ―-
Click to enlarge - Neighbors report dogs and cats have disappeared, and they also suspect coyotes. Moon says he knows putting a price on dead coyotes, a bounty, will not eliminate what he sees as a growing problem.

He finds what he's looking for.
Moon points to a series of ragged holes the size of a dinner plate punched through the heavy snowpack and identifies them as coyote tracks. He says this coyote was going fast, bounding forward with all four paws landing in the same spot, an indicator that the coyote was chasing something.
Moon says he's always watching for coyotes and has even seen them walk through his yard. But seeing the animals near people is far from his biggest concern. He believes coyotes are costing him money and he shoots any coyote he sees bothering his cattle.
A short distance from the set of tracks, Moon stops his pickup truck and points to a patch of willow trees.
"We had a cow in here one time that had a calf. And I found the afterbirth a little later on and then there was no calf," says Moon. "But then I did find the hide just about 100 yards to the east here."
Moon says he can't prove coyotes killed the animal, but he strongly suspects that's the case. He's had other calves disappear too and it's a big economic issue for him, since full-grown cattle are worth more than $1,000 apiece.
Neighbors report dogs and cats have disappeared, and they also suspect coyotes. Moon says he knows putting a price on dead coyotes, a bounty, will not eliminate what he sees as a growing problem. But he does think a bounty will attract more hunters and he says that should help reduce coyote numbers and his losses.
"More people would be out after them if there was a little bit of a reward," says Moon.
That's the philosophy behind a bill being introduced at the Legislature.
"It allows counties to establish bounty within the counties," said state Rep. Lyle Koenen, who plans to introduce the bill. "And any county across the state will be able to do this."
Koenen said it would be up to the individual county to run the program. That includes setting the price of the bounty and finding the money to pay it. Koenen said he doesn't know what chance the legislation has of final passage.
Five years ago the house passed a similar bill, but it failed in a Senate committee. There are plenty of people though who are against paying a coyote bounty.
"Kind of a waste of money," said Bill Berg, a retired DNR wildlife research biologist.
Berg said bounties have little impact on coyote numbers and that the state had a bounty system for most of its history. He still has reports which summarize bounty payments for predators including coyotes, timber wolves, bears and lynx. He said those reports show the number of animals turned in each year for bounties held relatively steady.
"You'd think if the bounty was effective and did its thing; gradually those predator numbers would be going down and they just stayed the same," Berg said.
Berg spent a good part of his career studying and teaching about coyotes. He even put on a performance for school kids he called "coyote man." It taught children that predators like the coyote play an important role in nature. As part of the lecture, he wore a coyote hide and let loose with a well-rehearsed coyote howl.
Berg said historically, farmers and hunters alike lobbied the state to offer money for predators. The two groups wanted to protect livestock, as well as game animals like ducks, pheasants and deer.
"When the settlers came to Minnesota, there just was an aim to remove all of those evil predators," he said. "Basically all predators were vermin until like into the '50s and '60s."
Berg said the state ended all bounties in the mid 1960s.
But farmers like John Moon think there still is a role for a coyote bounty. Worried about economic losses, he keeps a close watch out for the predator. He said a bounty would be one way to sharpen the focus of hunters who like to pursue the predator.

WEATHER 1/21/10
There are areas of freezing drizzle across Southern Minnesota this morning and it may continue off and on all day today. The commute will be slow in the Twin Cities and in some cases hazardous. Temperatures are in the 20s but a few thousand feet up its in the 30s thus we are getting freezing drizzle rather than snow.
We are still expecting a storm this weekend but the track is a bit uncertain. It does look warm enough for rain on Saturday or a mix of rain and sleet. Out to the west it may be all snow for places like Alexandria and Morris.
The rain may mix to snow Saturday night but there is a chance the rain and snow mix hangs on into Sunday. The best chance of moderate snows still appears to be well to our west. Light snow will continue into Monday with a colder weather pattern next week

SUN LEO/MOON CAPRICORN
- SUN IN LEO PLUS 12 MOON SIGNS
- Select your MOON SIGN from the sidebar menu.
- 5-1 Leo/Aries
- The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces intense emotions and a strong personal drive. You may display exceptional courage because there is little that you are afraid of and few challenges you are hesitant to undertake. You throw yourself into every project with total commitment. You have a quick temper and you are easy to excite to action. You consider any setback or loss as a serious matter that must be responded to immediately and positively. When your honor is questioned, even in the slightest way, you are quick to respond defensively. Combativeness is almost overpowering in your nature. You attack every problem as though it was going to attack you. In personal relationships and the everyday world, you come across as an executive person. Dynamic and willing to pursue any possibility to further enhance your image and self-confidence, you go after what you want with enthusiasm and intensity. You may be rash and impulsive, but you're still willing to give about any idea a try. Never hesitant or shirking, you assume responsibility and meet obligations. You fear only someone who is your intellectual superior, as you don't consider yourself particularly brilliant. Few will ever notice any shortcoming here, as you always appear in complete control and superior to all situations. A quick common sense mind is your special gift. Fully developed, you'll easily remain in the drivers seat.
- 5-2 Leo/Taurus
- The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a very strong personality for better or for worse. You have the capacity to see things in the large, with a good deal of practical idealism and a very fixed attitude. This can make you successful in business undertakings that require foresight and executive ability. No one ever has to wonder where you stand on an issue. Although you are prone to make errors in judgment, you are just as emphatic when you are wrong as when you are right. You can be stubborn and lacking in innate diplomacy. You can learn to hold your tongue, but it's difficult for you not to express you views with conviction. You are utterly honest, but capable of believing what it is that suits your purposes and supports your ideas. Making mountains out of mole hills and always refusing to compromise, can make life a bit difficult at times. Nonetheless, the combination is one that gets things done and usually does it very well. In all undertakings you have a good head for managing and controlling. Though never one to yield anything to an opponent, you are very loving and sharing with those close to you. For this you do require their complete devotion, eternal love, infinite admiration, and constant sympathy. You are an earnest and well-meaning person, but one who may need to try to become more detached and see yourself a bit more objectively.
- 5-3 Leo/Gemini
- The combination of your Sun and Moon signs suggests that you are a person possessed with both action and ideas. This combination blends the vitality, personal warmth, generosity, authoritativeness of Leo, with the intelligence, cleverness, flexibility and adaptability of Gemini. Your personality is perpetually searching for ways to impress others via these action or achievements, and, especially by matters of the mind, or your ideas. Your mind is facile and intuitive, rather than profound or over serious. Your ability to make good impressions on people serves you well in your public life and in dealing with those within your sphere of influence. Your ideas, while not based on deep philosophy, are usually plausible, and always delivered with a manner of expression that is persuasive. You like to work with your mind, and you're rarely found working very hard for a living. You believe in easy money and seem to know how to get it without exerting great amounts of physical energy. Mentally, you would never be called lazy. At times you can become so mentally active that you would turn into a bundle of nerves. You never really stop trying to impress others with what you know, and you are a very interesting conversationalist. You are also very social and love to entertain, especially when your guests are interesting people who stimulate you mentally. Your glib analysis and sharp observations make you a favorite with such groups.
- 5-4 Leo/Cancer
- The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a well integrated personality as both bodies are placed in the signs with which they are naturally associated. The positive force of the Sun placed in Leo serves to offset any tendency toward moodiness and being too introspective, traits of the Cancer Moon, keeping you up most of the times. The Leo tendency to boast and grab the spotlight are well balanced and controlled by the modest reserve of the Moon. You have a natural warmth and sympathetic friendship, and people are attracted to you because you are such an understanding listener. You're not exactly a social butterfly, but you do enjoy good company and a good time. Friends never hesitate to confide in you because you are so dependable and trustworthy, and when there is some way you can be of help you always do. You know your worth so well that you take it for granted and don't waste time trying to impress others with it. You are realistic about life, always applying common sense to situations and striving to do the best you can do. Your feet are planted ever so solidly on the ground. Romance and love are very important to you and you'll never be very happy until you have found someone on whom you can lavish your affections. Soundness is the keynote of your nature, and everything you do seems to have a stamp of character, persistence, and the honest desire to maintain good will.
- 5-5 Leo/Leo
- The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a forceful, ambitious, and concentrative personality; one bent on achieving a good deal of prestige and success in the world. On the surface, you appear jovial, sunny, full of vitality, and always expressing good spirits. Underneath, there may be a hard streak in your nature, a degree of ruthlessness that never forgets or forgives an injury or a slight to your pride or vanity. Somehow you can be jovial, sunny and friendly, yet remain so independent and authoritative, seeking the ultimate in leadership and prominence. There is something magnificent about your methods of fighting, whether for yourself or for others; a scorn of your enemies that enables you to demolish them ruthlessly, but without malice. A detached and impersonal quality marks your nature. You are not naturally introspective, and many of your actions are based on instinct rather than analyzed personal motive. You have a tremendous control over yourself, and in time, over others as well. You have a good deal of pride and vanity that can be satisfied with personal issues such as admiration, flattery, dress, and the like, or by the broader method of satisfied ambitions. There is a constant tendency to be excessive in a variety of ways. You are endowed with a very strong will, and this will can be used in either positive or in negative ways.
- 5-6 Leo/Virgo
- The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign pairs two very different influences. The warm, impetuous, and dynamic Leo and the cool, cautious, and introverted Virgo. The expression resulting features very strong opinions and emotions. You're critical and accurate in thought, but often too outspoken. Attention is vital to your happiness. You seem dependent on praise and the admiring attention you can command, even if it's nothing more that the sympathetic concern you can muster. Nonetheless, you are particular about friends and let relatively few close to you. You can be extremely stubborn and opinionated. To you there is your way and the wrong way. You have a rigid moral code to which you consistently hold, and you expect others to live up to these standards as well. Though there is an underlying timidity in your nature, and an always present need to please, for some reason your independence and a somewhat militant pride impels you frequently to do the wrong thing out of impish delight in watching the effect you cause. As you mature you can teach yourself tact, but it is not a natural trait. You do have a natural politeness and charm you can turn on at will. If you use this to your best advantage, you can be very successful in all that you attempt to do. You have an exacting nature and a pride that must always be carefully controlled.
- 5-7 Leo/Libra
- The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a very independent, idealistic and romantic person. You have a warmhearted, almost sentimental approach to life. You are highly honorable and have a sense of your integrity. Conventional and traditional, you have a tolerant and logical approach to life, and a healthy respect for public opinion. As straightforward as you are, there is much that you don't reveal about yourself in a first meeting. You are a bit elusive and hard to pin down. You may know what people want of you, but your method is usually to put a good bit of thought in your actions and not always commit yourself too soon. People have respect for your opinion because it is not the first one rendered and generally is well thought out and solidly founded. You are not one to go overboard or fall prey to any sort of extremes. Besides this capacity for clear, methodical thinking, you also may be blessed with a gift of creativity and imagination. Art and drama may appeal to you. There is much that is dramatic and appealing in your makeup. You can live almost independently, and the emotional depth necessary in relationships can be somewhat lacking in you at times. Complex emotionalism can cause you to retreat and become a bit aloof. You are an avid observer of human nature, but not one to want to get too deeply involved.
- 5-8 Leo/Scorpio
- The combination of your Sun and Moon signs produces a vital and highly charged temperament. Passion and temper have to be controlled and directed for you to achieve the high potential offered by this placement, for it is a very dynamic and powerful combination indeed. There is a natural tendency for you to become very emotional and personally involved in problems or debates; it may be an understatement to say that your likes and dislikes are well-defined. Sometimes a bit of ranting and raging can result if you fail to keep a tight lid on your natural inclinations. Your success and happiness may depend on maintaining full control over your emotions and feelings, and directing your energies along constructive lines. A natural magnetism permits you to achieve a much success as a leader, but there is likely to be much more emotionalism than mental depth in your makeup. Yours is a very confident and positive nature, revealing considerable pride and self-regard. You don't seem to rely on logic, intuition, or reason, but instead you react on pure instinct. High in moral attitudes, you draw the line on others quickly, and too readily judge others on your stated standards, which you may not always live up to yourself. Everything is colored by your personal biases, and you have little capacity for objectivity or detachment. This is a very driving placement, bent on getting power and authority, and very capable of fulfilling these objectives. In business or executive affairs you are keenly alert to your interests, aggressive, vigilant and determined. You act on ideas quickly and without hesitation. You are determined and shrewd. You are essentially dramatic, with yourself being the main character occupying center stage.
- 5-9 Leo/Sagittarius
- The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a constant passion for travel, adventure, change, and excitement. You are continuously looking for another mountain to climb or stone to turn, and life seems a never ending chain of games to win and adventures to explore. The combination here blends the Leo vitality, authoritativeness, magnanimity and warmth, with Sagittarius honesty, directness, versatility, and sincerity, yielding a very optimistic and enthusiastic temperament. Yours is a restless, but always positive and alert mind. Your challenge is to keep the white hot flames of this dual Fire sign ablaze, and avoid the tendencies for energies to go up in smoke and be wasted with lively, but unproductive activities. You are more subject to burn out than most. By harnessing your fiery emotional nature to constructive purposes and setting goals for yourself, there is little that you cannot do. You charm people with your dash and enthusiasm. Your boundless energy and imaginative equipment assures you have the abilities to go far if you can only channel your efforts and remain true to your goals. It's hard for you to settle down to a job, to a relationship, to a solid base of operation, or to a truly focused purpose of any kind. Pettiness and triteness infuriate you, and subtlety is not your style. You may get into trouble by saying exactly what you feel, never mincing words or sparing feelings. While you remain mobile and independent you are happy, but when you begin to feel confined and harnessed, you can become very unhappy and dispirited.
- 5-10 Leo/Capricorn
- The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign makes you highly purposeful. You have a strong sense of what you expect out of life. This configuration confers a good deal of mental ability and quickness. There is a hard inner core that may keep you from being as sociable as many with the Leo Sun sign. You're not the type of person that anyone ever walks over. Your reputation, and the impression you make on others, is vitally important to you. You make every effort to make a good impression by your appearance and your demeanor. In this regard, you usually maintain a cheerful, good-natured exterior that rarely exposes this inner core of hardness and resolve. You are not exactly secretive, but subtle in disclosing your plans and objectives, and you really have no desire to be understood too well. You may become very depressed at times, but you'll never admit you have any doubt about yourself or your abilities. Your public face rarely breaks away from your upbeat mask. You have a great respect for yourself, and you expect others to respect you, as well. Success, in your view, depends heavily on building up a sound reputation for integrity and reliability. You want to be known as a person who can be trusted and relied upon. You are materially ambitious, and back this up with steady purpose and great will power.

WEATHER 01/10/10
Posted By: Mike FairbourneAfter a stretch of sub zero lows and teen to single digit highs, our warm up will be significant. While we will enjoy the warmer temperatures, there will be some minor inconveniences.
Get ready for the slush! Make sure the windshield washer reservoir is full and wear old shoes or galoshes. The roads and sidewalks will be wet and messy. Watch for slippery spots of re-freeze at night.
That may sound nit picky, but I'll trade all of that for some sunshine and warmer weather. It looks like we stay dry all week.
