The Lopper

How cool is this.... Not bad for $1oo...

However, it's not gas powered. Not only does it limit the damage you can do, without a portable generator, but it will not help with the cylinder index....

Just think if Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer had a Lopper..

Ya Baby...

ESCANABA, Mich. (AP) -- You probably won't find a turkey baster in the typical maternity ward. But the kitchen device proved useful when an Upper Peninsula woman gave birth at home.

Shannon Mata of Gladstone went into labor yesterday morning, although her baby wasn't due until December 14. Her husband was out of town, so she called her mother-in-law. There wasn't time to drive to the hospital. As they waited for an ambulance, the mother-in-law spoke with an emergency medical technician by phone.

Fortunately, an off-duty paramedic was driving nearby with his radio on. Edwin LaCosse rushed over as the baby girl was being born.

He used a turkey baster to clear her nose and mouth, and a shoelace to tie off the umbilical cord. Mother and baby are fine today. (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

Got Milk?

An Iowa mother with extra breast milk on her hands this week placed a newspaper ad offering to sell the milk for $200 (or the best offer she receives). Martha Heller's unorthodox offer, which first appeared in Tuesday's edition of The Gazette, came after Heller, 22, was stuck with 100 ounces of frozen milk when her four-month-old daughter refused to nurse from a bottle. Heller's ad, a copy of which you'll find above, ran in the "Children's items" category of the Gazette's classified section and follows an ad offering a Barbie jeep for $150. A spokesman for Iowa's Department of Public Health told The Gazette that he was unaware of any laws barring the sale of breast milk, but that state officials frowned upon such offers.

Hang'n with Mike Koch

Amy was very surprised to hear how much time I spent with Mike Koch in Vegas.. I slept with Mike Koch, smacked Mike Koch, introduced Mike Koch to strangers and the eleven guys of Willapoolza enjoyed hang'n with Mike Koch.....

Seriously, if it wasn't for Jon's wieners I would never have gotten the opportunity to spend a weekend in Vegas with Mike Koch..

And yes, this is Mike Koch hang'n with Jon's wieners....

Williapoolza!!!!

I just got back from Willapoolza in Las Vegas. What the F#*k is Willapoolza!! It was a fun filled weekend with a great group of guys, aka a bachelor party for Will. We packed a lot in in just a couple of days.

Finally I got to check off the Gilter Gulch "box".. Saddly, I was the only one out-of eleven to go, but I did tell them I was with a bachelor party..

We went to a cool Vodka Bar at Mandalay Bay called Red Square. They have a room that they keep at 10 degrees for drinking chilled Vodka. Before you enter the room they provide you with a coat and hat.... It's pretty $$$$ie...

And yes the next day was a little tuff............

Dirty Donnie

The man known as "Don Vito" on MTV's show "Viva La Bam" was convicted Wednesday of two counts of sexual assault on a child.

Vincent Margera, 51, who was accused of groping three girls ages 12 to 14 during an autograph signing event last year at mall skate park in the Denver suburb of Lakewood, fell to the floor cursing and yelled, "Just kill me now."

He was acquitted of a third count of sex assault on a child. He faces a sentence of probation to six years in prison on each conviction. If he doesn't comply with sex offender treatment as part of the sentence, he could potentially spend life in prison, district attorney's spokeswoman Pam Russell said.

After Margera's courtroom outburst, deputies restrained him and took him to jail, where he was being held without bail until his sentencing hearing, set for Dec. 20.

Defense attorney Pamela Mackey had argued that when Margera appeared at the skate park, he took on the persona of the outrageous and profane Don Vito. Mackey had said that Margera, a car painter, learned that the crazier he acted, the more his fans loved it.

"Viva La Bam" starred Margera's nephew, professional skateboarder Bam Margera.

Action Packed

Sunday I was one of the fortunate sols to watch (in person) Brett Farve throw TD pass 421 and 422. Breaking Dan Marinos record of 420... Lucky for me Brett did it right away, because I had a few to many to drink.

Also, a special shot out to some Yoopers that made this all possible.. Scott, Ross and Desi... Especially Desi, for putting up with my drunk ass....

Sold!!!

After six days we found a buyer and have a deal. It a big relief but it didn't come easy. Amy and I put a lot of work in this last month on our home getting it ready and it paid off.

Again, stay tuned for updates on our new home...

Joey's Back

We have found that Joey has a new use as a dishwasher..

Busy Beavers

I know it’s been a long time since my last blog, but Amy and I have been extremely busy since she returned to Rochester.

Amy got back from Dallas on August 1st and we started house hunting on the 2nd and after a month and about 40 homes we decided on a new home. The house should be finished in December and I will be updating the progress as we go along.

Yesterday our house went on the market… and if you know anyone that is looking for a house close to St. Mary’s… this could be your house!!!

So not only have we been looking at homes but we have been working on getting ours ready to sell.

More to come… and sorry for not blogging..

Big "D" and that "D" is not for Dallas...

This is our final weekend in Dallas.. We have really enjoyed our experience but it will be nice to have Amy home next weekend in Rochester.

Last weekend we finally went to the gay-neighborhood in Dallas. We lucky had a guide, JD. He is very poupular in the gay-neighborhood. Infact, he has a tramp stamp…. JD took us to a gay cowboy bar. I think it was the cleanest bar I have ever been in.

No Pump'n Munch

Joey and I are in Dallas today and we decided to check out one of 12 Kwik-E-Mart’s that 7-Eleven has made-over in a promotion for the up coming Simpson’s Movie.

You will notice that this Kwik-E-Mart is authentic, right down to the Squishee Machine. I passed on the 570 calories and got a 64oz Double Gulp of Diet Dr. Pepper, Big-Tone would be proud.

1/2 Naked Nate

Amy and I have a friend Nate and he has his own blog that we enjoy looking in on from time-to-time to see what Nate and his family are doing. Usually, it has something to do with Nate and Christine’s daughter Anisley mastering something that I can only dream of accomplishing someday…

However, I have noticed a common theme over the last year… Nate posts a lot of pictures of himself on his blog w/o a shirt on… I think that’s a little odd… So, above you will find a collogue of photo’s of Nate w/o his shirt on that I retrieve from his blog…

To be fair.. Nate does wear shirts on Sundays…..

Mess with Da'Bull

Believe it or not.. Not only does this bull have two idiots by the ass on his horns but these idiots are brothers Michael, right, and Laurence Lenahan and are Americans. The brothers where participating in the traditional bull run in Pamplona, Spain this year. Apparently, it was the bulls fault because he strayed from the pack turned around and ran the wrong way. Stupid bull……

Yopper Ki-Yay

We have been having a great 4th of July vacation in the UP.. However, we did push our luck on Friday night by attending The Bruce Willis Band show at the local casino. Bruce Willis sucks.. He was late, had to read the music because he couldn’t remember the words, and kept apologizing for the poor performance as people walked out….

Later we met up with some friends (see Amy w/Danielle below) at The Sand Bar in Gladstone and found the local band Driver to be much better than Bruce Willis..

And yes.... Bruce did say yippie ki-yay mother f*#ker..........

Big Kow

If you’re ever in the Oshkosh, WI area with time to spare you need to venture about 40 miles to the west for this restaurant in Wautoma, WI. The Sivercryst is an “old school” restaurant and lounge supper club with a lake view. Good steaks, grilled prime rib, and a super cool bar.

Amy and I try to incorporate The Sivercryst into our treks home to the UP. And yes, we where drawn in by the big ass kow……

Naked Yooper?

MANISTIQUE, Michigan (AP) -- Researchers will visit Michigan's Upper Peninsula next month to search for evidence of the legendary creature known as "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch” and/or Jason Micheau…

The expedition will focus on eastern Marquette County, said Matthew Moneymaker of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.

"We'll be looking for evidence supporting a presence. ... We hope to meet local people who might have seen a Sasquatch or heard of someone else who had an encounter," Moneymaker told the Daily Press of Escanaba.

The legend of Bigfoot dates back centuries. But skeptics have challenged accounts of sightings, and practical jokers have staged hoaxes that have included grainy film footage of people dressed in costumes.

But Moneymaker said members of his organization have either glimpsed Bigfoot or gotten close enough to hear the creature in all but three of 30 expeditions in the United States and Canada.

The late Grover Krantz, a Washington State University professor who specialized in cryptozoology, the study of creatures that have not been proven to exist, believed Bigfoot was a "gigantopithecus," a branch of primitive man believed to have existed 3 million years ago.

Rudi… Can you smell what The Joey’s got cook’n?

Booz2Go?

These Dutch students may be a little off on the target market, but it’s a great idea non-the-less.. You could have a few of these little wonders on you at the bar and dash them on your Redbull and Vodka..

Dutch students have developed powdered alcohol which they say can be sold legally to minors.

The latest innovation in inebriation, called Booz2Go, is available in 20-gramme packets that cost 1-1.5 euros ($1.35-$2).

Top it up with water and you have a bubbly, lime-colored and -flavored drink with just 3 percent alcohol content.

"We are aiming for the youth market. They are really more into it because you can compare it with Bacardi-mixed drinks," 20-year-old Harm van Elderen told Reuters.

Van Elderen and four classmates at Helicon Vocational Institute, about an hour's drive from Amsterdam, came up with the idea as part of their final-year project.

"Because the alcohol is not in liquid form, we can sell it to people below 16," said project member Martyn van Nierop.

The legal age for drinking alcohol and smoking is 16 in the Netherlands.

In Germany, alcopops -- sweet drinks containing alcohol and in powder form -- caused quite a stir when launched on to the market. Alcohol powder, classified as a flavoring, was sold in the United States three years ago.

The students said companies interested in making the product commercially could avoid taxes because the alcohol was in powder form. A number of companies are interested, they said.

Little Joey

Meet the newest McIntosh, his name is Joey. He’s a 10 week old West Highland White Terrier.

General Appearance

The West Highland White Terrier is a small, game, well-balanced hardy looking terrier, exhibiting good showmanship, possessed with no small amount of self-esteem, strongly built, deep in chest and back ribs, with a straight back and powerful hindquarters on muscular legs, and exhibiting in marked degree a great combination of strength and activity. The coat is about two inches long, white in color, hard, with plenty of soft undercoat. The dog should be neatly presented, the longer coat on the back and sides, trimmed to blend into the shorter neck and shoulder coat. Considerable hair is left around the head to act as a frame for the face to yield a typical Westie expression.

Size, Proportion, Substance
The ideal size is eleven inches at the withers for dogs and ten inches for bitches. A slight deviation is acceptable. The Westie is a compact dog, with good balance and substance. The body between the withers and the root of the tail is slightly shorter than the height at the withers. Short-coupled and well boned. Faults--Over or under height limits. Fine boned.

Head Shaped to present a round appearance from the front. Should be in proportion to the body.

Expression--Piercing, inquisitive, pert. Eyes--Widely set apart, medium in size, almond shaped, dark brown in color, deep set, sharp and intelligent. Looking from under heavy eyebrows, they give a piercing look. Eye rims are black. Faults--Small, full or light colored eyes.

Ears--Small, carried tightly erect, set wide apart, on the top outer edge of the skull. They terminate in a sharp point, and must never be cropped. The hair on the ears is trimmed short and is smooth and velvety, free of fringe at the tips. Black skin pigmentation is preferred. Faults--Round-pointed, broad, large, ears set closely together, not held tightly erect, or placed too low on the side of the head.

Skull--Broad, slightly longer than the muzzle. not flat on top but slightly domed between the ears. It gradually tapers to the eyes. There is a defined stop, eyebrows are heavy. Faults--Long or narrow skull.

Muzzle--Blunt, slightly shorter than the skull, powerful and gradually tapering to the nose, which is large and black. The jaws are level and powerful. Lip pigment is black. Faults--Muzzle longer than skull. Nose color other than black.

Bite--The teeth are large for the size of the dog. There must be six incisor teeth between the canines of both lower and upper jaws. An occasional missing premolar is acceptable. A tight scissors bite with upper incisors slightly overlapping the lower incisors or level mouth is equally acceptable. Faults--Teeth defective or misaligned. Any incisors missing or several premolars missing. Teeth overshot or undershot.

Neck, Topline, Body

Neck--Muscular and well set on sloping shoulders. The length of neck should be in proportion to the remainder of the dog. Faults--Neck too long or too short. Topline--Flat and level, both standing and moving. Faults--High rear, any deviation from above. Body--Compact and of good substance. Ribs deep and well arched in the upper half of rib, extending at least to the elbows, and presenting a flattish side appearance. Back ribs of considerable depth, and distance from last rib to upper thigh as short as compatible with free movement of the body. Chest very deep and extending to the elbows, with breadth in proportion to the size of the dog. Loin short, broad and strong. Faults--Back weak, either too long or too short. Barrel ribs, ribs above elbows. Tail--Relatively short, with good substance, and shaped like a carrot. When standing erect it is never extended above the top of the skull. It is covered with hard hair without feather, as straight as possible, carried gaily but not curled over the back. The tail is set on high enough so that the spine does not slope down to it. The tail is never docked. Faults--Set too low, long, thin, carried at half-mast, or curled over back.

Forequarters

Angulation, Shoulders--Shoulder blades are well laid back and well knit at the backbone. The shoulder blade should attach to an upper arm of moderate length, and sufficient angle to allow for definite body overhang. Faults--Steep or loaded shoulders. Upper arm too short or too straight. Legs--Forelegs are muscular and well boned. relatively short, but with sufficient length to set the dog up so as not to be too close to the ground. The legs are reasonably straight, and thickly covered with short hard hair. They are set in under the shoulder blades with definite body overhang before them. Height from elbow to withers and elbow to ground should be approximately the same. Faults--Out at elbows. Light bone, fiddle-front. Feet--Forefeet are larger than the hind ones, are round, proportionate in size, strong, thickly padded; they may properly be turned out slightly. Dewclaws may be removed. Black pigmentation is most desirable on pads of all feet and nails, although nails may lose coloration in older dogs.

Hindquarters

Angulation--Thighs are very muscular, well angulated, not set wide apart, with hock well bent, short, and parallel when viewed from the rear. Legs--Rear legs are muscular and relatively short and sinewy. Faults-- Weak hocks, long hocks, lack of angulation. Cowhocks. Feet--Hind feet are smaller than front feet, and are thickly padded. Dewclaws may be removed.

Coat

Very important and seldom seen to perfection. Must be double-coated. The head is shaped by plucking the hair, to present the round appearance. The outer coat consists of straight hard white hair, about two inches long, with shorter coat on neck and shoulders, properly blended and trimmed to blend shorter areas into furnishings, which are longer on stomach and legs. The ideal coat is hard, straight and white, but a hard straight coat which may have some wheaten tipping is preferable to a white fluffy or soft coat. Furnishings may be somewhat softer and longer but should never give the appearance of fluff. Faults--Soft coat. Any silkiness or tendency to curl. Any open or single coat, or one which is too short.

Color

The color is white, as defined by the breed's name. Faults--Any coat color other than white. Heavy wheaten color.

Gait

Free, straight and easy all around. It is a distinctive gait, not stilted, but powerful, with reach and drive. In front the leg is freely extended forward by the shoulder. When seen from the front the legs do not move square, but tend to move toward the center of gravity. The hind movement is free, strong and fairly close. The hocks are freely flexed and drawn close under the body, so that when moving off the foot the body is thrown or pushed forward with some force. Overall ability to move is usually best evaluated from the side, and topline remains level. Faults--Lack of reach in front, and/or drive behind. Stiff, stilted or too wide movement.

Temperament

Alert, gay, courageous and self-reliant, but friendly. Faults--Excess timidity or excess pugnacity.

Currently, his favorite activity is napping on my shoulder while I blog in my barcalounger

Amy will be in Minnesota next weekend so she will get to see him soon.. And he’s small enough to fly with me. I’m sure you will all be seeing more of Joey in the future..

Wi-Crime

Oh how I miss good old Michigan.. Everyone can sleep tight in Da'Hood tonight.

A Michigan man has been fined $400 and given 40 hours of community service for accessing an open wireless Internet connection outside a coffee shop.

Under a little known state law against computer hackers, Sam Peterson II, of Cedar Springs, MI faced a felony charge after cops found him on March 27 sitting in front of the Re Union Street Café in Sparta, MI surfing the Web from his new laptop.

Last week, Peterson chose to pay the fine instead as part of a jail-diversion program."I think a lot of people should be shocked, because quite honestly, I still don't understand it myself," Peterson told FOXNews.com "I do not understand how this is illegal."

His troubles began in March, a couple of weeks after he had bought his first laptop computer. Peterson, a 39-year-old toolmaker, volunteer firefighter and secretary of a bagpipe band, wanted to use his 30-minute lunch hour to check e-mails for his bagpipe group.

He got on the Internet by tapping into the local coffee shop's wireless network, but instead of going inside the shop to use the free Wi-Fi offered to paying customers, he chose to remain in his car and piggyback off the network, which he said didn't require a password.

He used the system on his lunch breaks for more than a week, and then the police showed up."I was sitting there reading my e-mail and he came up and stuck his head inside my window and asked me who I was spying on," Peterson told FOXNews.com.

Someone from a nearby barbershop had called cops after seeing Peterson's car pull up every day and sit in front of the coffee shop without anybody getting out.

"I just curiously asked him, 'Where are you getting the Internet connection?', you know," Sparta Police Chief Andrew Milanowski said. "And he said, 'From the café.'"

Milanowski ruled out Peterson as a possible stalker of the attractive local hairdresser, but still felt that a law might have been broken.

"We came back and we looked up the laws and we figured if we found one and thought, 'Well, let's run it by the prosecutor's office and see what they want to do,'" Milanowski said.

A few weeks later Peterson said he received a letter from the Kent County prosecutor's office saying that he faced a felony charge of fraudulent access to computer networks and that a request had been made for an arrest warrant.

The law, introduced in 1979 to protect Internet and private-network users from hackers, and amended in 2000 to include wireless systems, makes piggybacking off of Wi-Fi networks, even those without a password, illegal.

"It wasn't anything we were looking for, and it wasn't anything that we frankly particularly wanted to get involved in, but it basically fell in our lap and it was a little hard to just look the other way when somebody handed it to us," said Lynn Hopkins, assistant prosecuting attorney for Kent County.

Under the statute, individuals who log on to a Wi-Fi network with the owner's permission, or who see a pop-up screen that says it's a public network, can assume they're authorized to use the network, Hopkins said. If they don't, they could be subject to prosecution.

Peterson was given two choices: He could try to fight the felony charge and face a sentence of up to 5 years in jail or a $10,000 fine; or he could enroll in the diversion program, which would require paying a $400 fine, doing 40 hours of community service and staying on probation for six months.

After consulting two lawyers — both of whom were until then unaware of the law — Peterson decided last week to take the diversion program.

If he fails to complete it, the arrest warrant will be issued and felony charges will be filed, Hopkins said.

"A lot of people tell me I should fight this, but they're not the ones looking at the felony charges on their record if it happens to go bad," Peterson said.

The case has surprised locals, including the owner of the barbershop that initially called police, as well as Donna May, owner of the coffee shop. "He could have just come in the cafe, even if he didn't have any money, I would let him get on it," May said. May said that the wireless connection is free for customers to her cafe.

The barbershop owner defended his decision to call police. "I felt bad about it, but we've had problems in the past," said the man, who declined to give his name. "I'd be safe than sorry."

For Peterson, who's never had a criminal record, the experience has been an eye-opening one. "All over the TV, all the commercials and whatnot you see, they're all trying to get you to buy all these laptops and things that are wireless," he said. "They're trying to get you to buy this wireless stuff because you can go anywhere and still be connected. "Well, they don't happen to tell you that it's illegal," he continued. "And I guess obviously you're just supposed to know that." It's up to the consumer to figure that out, said Hopkins, the prosecuting attorney."When you buy a Wi-Fi equipped device, it's your responsibility to find out what you can and can't legally do with that device, just as it would be if you were buying a radar detector or any other piece of electronics," she said.

But don't look for a flurry of prosecutions anytime soon. "We're not going to be running stings to go out looking for people who do this," Hopkins said. "But people should be aware that if we come across them, and it is a violation of the statute, then we will enforce the statute."

Thanks for the story Paul....
