Pitts finished his Browns tenure with 94 receptions for 1,424 yards and 16 receiving touchdowns, which is still good for a tie for No. He spent the 1974 season with the Oakland Raiders and then retired after having just three catches for 23 yards. While he still played in 13 games in 1973, Pitts’ career was on the downside as he only had 31 receptions for 317 yards. The second came the following season when Pitts pulled in a 38-yard touchdown pass from Phipps with 41 seconds remaining to pull out a win against the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football. Two games stand out from Pitts’ time with the Browns, the first coming in 1971 when he returned to Kansas City Municipal Stadium to face the Chiefs and had five receptions for 129 yards against the team he played with for the first six years of his career. Pitts, who had been a member of two Super Bowl teams with the Chiefs, spent three seasons with the Browns and posted his second career season with more than 600 receiving yards in 1972, a year that also saw him have a career-best eight touchdown receptions. Not to be deterred, Modell was back at it in the spring of 1971 as he sent a third- and a fourth-round draft pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for wide receiver Frank Pitts, who earns the honor of being the best player to wear uniform number 25 in franchise history.

The ASTA’s signature ride is the Hill Country Flyer which takes you through the Hill Country with a two-hour layover in Burnet and then returns you to their Cedar Park Depot.įor a fun family activity, consider joining the North Pole Flyer ride where Santa makes an appearance. Then there’s the Buckeye Lake all-ages coach, which was built in 1949 for operation in New York and has funky blue seats. The vintage train cars are something special-each with a distinct personality and story.įor example, there’s the Nambe, an adults-only, first-class lounge passenger car, which dates back to the 1930s and has seating arranged like a diner with tables and chairs. It’s not just the locomotives that are worth nothing though. Some rail aficionados with a vision of recreating historic passenger railroading put two and two together and thus the Austin Steam Train Association was born.Ĭurrently, ASTA has three historic locomotives: two of which are in the process of being restored and one which is currently in use for rides. 786, was retired from operation and donated to Austin in 1956, and then two decades later, Southern Pacific sold miles of track through the Hill Country to the city.

![]() ![]() ![]() That is called Solarcore and it goes into all of our gear today,” Markesbery continues. “We discovered how to take small particles of aerogel and use those particles to create a composite that can be put into fabric with minimal thickness and maintain 97% of its thermal performance. “Our passion project for our senior year became figuring out how to make this amazing insulating material flexible and durable enough for apparel,” he explains. In its natural state aerogel is brittle and shatters when poked. Getting back to the lab, Markesbery working alongside Venna found out why nobody had used aerogel in clothing. “I decided there had to be a way to cut the bulk, cut the layers and still stay warm.” “I looked like Ralphie’s brother in The Christmas Story in his big, puffy red snowsuit,” he laughed. ![]() Having just completed a backpacking trek across Europe, including climbing one of the Swiss Alps highest mountain, Markesbery was keen to apply aerogel technology to the obvious problem he faced on top of that mountain. This insulation is surviving the best torture test in the universe, but it isn’t being used in apparel.” “Aerogel is what NASA uses to insulate the space shuttles, Mars rovers and other things in space,” he says. At the time Markesbery was working in the school’s research lab, when he was awarded an Astronuat Scholarship Foundation grant and learned about NASA’s aerogel insulation. Oros’ founders are both outdoor enthusiasts, as well as self-described “science geeks,” having met as sophomores studying pre-med at Miami University in Ohio. ![]() ![]() ![]() Using a 5/64 Allen Key, I stuck it into the hole closest to the "outside" key hole. You'll notice two SMALL holes on either side of it. ![]() Stick your key into the outside key hole and turn it so the "bar" comes out. Take off the plate the covers the "lock bar" - the bar that comes out of door to lock it.Ģ. I need to explain this in detail: ( I apologize for not using correct terms)ġ. I've found that the best method in removing it is with a sharp pin, but hang onto it cause it tends to really fly sometimes on removal. Thiers have a nearly invisible circular spring clip around the inside cylinder that holds the cover plate in place, thereby covering the connecting screws. There are sometimes one for each cylinder, and some have only one that works a cog to lock in both cylinders.Ī little more thought on this brings to mind a double cylinder deadbolt made by Medeco (to name just one). Using a key inserted three quarters the way into the keyway usually works best in turning out the cylinder.Ī lot of "older" locks used a similar method as above to hold the cylinder in place except that the retaining screws are visible through the faceplate. ![]() About five turns counter clockwise on the allan key will allow you to unscrew the corresponding cylinder. You would need an allan key about 4 or 5 inches long to be able to reach the screws. If so, then it sounds like a "Lori" deadbolt with US Lock mortise cylinders. Did you have to remove the face plate on the bolt to see these two small holes on each side of the bolt? ![]() ![]() Serial debug is recommended even when using WiFi upload.
![]() That’s a fox That’s not a fox Are you sure that’s a fox I was sure. Voice can be heard in the early morning and early evening hours. Clearly audible through the phone and from the woods between our yards. Where to look for this animal in the EYNFĭifficult to see during the daytime hours. Nocturnal animals like foxes, wolves, cougars, owls, crickets, woodcocks, etc scream louder at night. These nighttime creatures can be insects, amphibians to saves, and mammals. They live in dense woodlands, thickets and caves in Puerto Rico, Isla Vieques, Isla Culebra and the Virgin Islands. Kate Bruce Possums, parrots, monkeys, dogs they’re all pretty noisy at night, but there are some animals that scream so loudly they can be heard from miles away. The female lays 2 to 3 white eggs and is fed by her mate while she incubates them. They breed from April to June nesting in hollow trees and cliff crevices. This bird eats mainly insects and small mammals. It was once local folklore that eating the freshly cooked heart of this bird would cure asthma. A raptor, this bird is completely nocturnal and is seldom seen during the day. The eyes are brownish with the eyebrows lighter than the rest of the face. It is grayish brown above, white below marked with heavy brown streaks and has no ear tufts. ![]() The Puerto Rican Screech-Owl is the only small owl found in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, measuring only 9 to 10 inches (23 to 25 centimeters) and weighs 3.6 to 5.4 ounces (103 to 154 grams). They have large heads, forward looking eyes, fly silently and swallow their food whole, regurgitation bones, feathers, etc. And I cried.Owls are nocturnal predators (night hunters). ![]() However, I remember that long ago, when I was a very young birder indeed, I held a red-phase owl in my hands as it died, apparently from eating a mouse poisoned by the folks next door. I probably should spend a moonlit night in a stakeout under the trees, armed with a big Mag-Lite. I’ve only heard, not seen, our resident screech owls (or the great horned owl that sometimes visits our wood) so I can't tell you if they are red or gray phase. ![]() Here are some samples of screech owl vocalizations from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Then there are assorted hoots, barks, yips, screeches, screams, rasps and rattles, all with specific meanings to the birds. This landmark leglislation paved the way for legislative regulation of bird hunting/harvest, ultimately helping to prevent the loss of many species of wading birds, waterfowl.

Year of the Night Birds Prowling for Screech Owls. There’s another screech owl song that ornithologists call the “monotonic trill.” Used by courting males, it consists of 30 to 70 rapid notes on a single pitch and lasts three to six seconds. ![]() We’re hearing it so often at this time of year because the juvenile owls that left their nest cavities in mid- to late May in the Northeast are suddenly independent of their parents and are looking for turf of their own. And to humans who don’t know the source, the sound is so ominous that it was once described as “a most solemn, graveyard ditty, the mutual consolation of suicide lovers.” In fact, the descending trill is the male screech owl’s territorial song. A tremulous wail that lasts around two seconds with a falling inflection at the end, this song may be repeated several times. ![]() ![]() You need to take with you: antidote, bandages, provision, torches, holy water.

While in the air, Cat Mario can perform a diving attack in which he pounces down at an angle. Cat Mario can perform a scratching attack that works in close range, similar to Tanooki Mario's tail whip attack. They also take on a shorter posture, allowing them to sprint through spaces which would normally require crouching to move through. This also gives them a bit more running speed.

In terms of design, however, Cat Luigi and Cat Toad appears more unique in comparison to Cat Mario, Cat Peach, and Cat Rosalina Cat Toad has dark blue stripes running horizontally along the back of his head, while Cat Luigi's green fur is peppered with darker green spots, his ears are rounded in contrast to the other characters' pointed cat ears, and the tip of his tail is darker green as opposed to the most commonly-seen white tipped tails.Ĭat Toadette's model appears the same as Cat Toad's, right down to the stripes, except her fur is a darker shade of pink than that of Peach's, and her trademark braids are on the lowermost back part of her head. In the Super Mario Mash-up of Minecraft, Lucky Cat Mario is one of the many replacement skins for cats.When in cat form, only Cat Luigi, Cat Peach, Cat Toad, and Cat Toadette's fur match their corresponding signature colors, while Cat Mario's fur is yellow, and Cat Rosalina's fur is black. In Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, this form prevents Mario from rolling in midair, since he cannot stop his Ground Pound. However, it cannot defeat Ka-thunks, Big Ant Troopers, or Charvaarghs, and it does not protect against poison, lava, or being crushed. Lucky Cat Mario can defeat almost all normally invincible enemies, such as Spike Bars, Fuzzies, Thwomps, Fuzzlers, and Rammerheads, and instantly defeat enemies that usually take multiple hits. Mario cannot remain in this form indefinitely he reverts to Cat Mario either if the player stops the ground pound, or its 12-second time limit expires. While similar to Tanooki Mario's Statue form, Mario is invincible, rather than merely invulnerable and ignored by enemies he also earns Coins while falling in this form. The others' raised right paws are based on a gesture used to bring in wealth and good fortune, whereas Luigi's raised left paw is commonly associated with businesses and owners wanting to bring in customers. Luigi's Lucky Cat form is slightly different he is shown raising his left paw instead of his right, unlike everyone else.
