Questions Possibly Related to Big Lake, MissouriProvided By Y! Answers
Looking for a lake house rental?
Question:
My friends and I are looking for a house to rent in August on a lake somewhere in Missouri or Illinois. There are 8 adults and may possibly be 4 children (haven't decided on if the kids will go or not)
We need 4 bdrms minimum with at least full size beds prefer queen or king size. We want to be on a lake that allows boats and jet skis (not a no wake lake), but that isn't too large for a 19' boat. Lake of the Ozarks is just too big. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks
Answer:
I would definitely reccomend Table Rock Lake in Southwest MO, although it is a big lake, the boat traffic is not near what it is on Lake of the Ozarks. Not to mention the proximity to Branson and all it has to offer. You would be fine with a 19' boat on this lake, in fact that is what most boat rental agencies offer. If you think that is to big try Truman Lake or Stockton Lake, both inbetween the Lake of the Ozarks and Springfield, MO.

What do you think will happen to the Midwest if the New Madrid Fault does the earthquake thing?
Question:
I have read stuff about what happened in 1811 till 1812, and it wasn't just one big quake, it was over and over, almost daily!! It sounds like the San Andreas fault would be a tea party compared to going through what happened to them. There just wasn't the dense population to react to it like there was in San Francisco, etc. It was in Missouri and rang church bells in Boston! It created Realfoot Lake. What would happen now ?
Answer:
It could be a major disaster. The USGS rates the hazard in this area as high as that of the San Andreas fault zone on the west coast.
http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-131-02/fs-131...
The current probability of a seismic event the magnitude of the 1811 quake is 7-10% within 50 years, and for a smaller quake of 6.0 is 25-40%.
I know firsthand that much of the construction in this region is un-reinforced or partially reinforced masonry. Larger cites such as Memphis and St. Louis have lots of older multistory masonry buildings that are vulnerable in a large quake. Many of the grade schools and high schools are also concrete-block construction and were built before it was common to pour reinforcing concrete and steel into the buildings. As far as I know there have been no significant efforts to force buildings to be retrofitted as Los Angeles did in the 1980's.
I can only hope that the nearby states have made efforts to retrofit bridges, and that the Federal DOT has retrofitted the I-55 bridge, as well as those in St. Louis and Memphis.
I do know that at one time school districts in Illinois were required to practice earth quake drills and put in outside storage of emergency supplies and water. I have heard that since then they have abandoned this effort.
If you live in the area (or any other earthquake prone area) there are some easy things you can do to make your home more earthquake proof:
1. Find out if your homeowner's insurance covers earthquakes.
2. Be familiar with how to turn off your natural gas, water, and electric utilities. Consider installing an "earthquake valve" on your natural gas line. This type of valve shuts off automatically if there is shaking. It could prevent your house from burning down. Here are a few:
http://www.earthquakestore.com/gas_shut_...
3. Brace your water heater with at least two metal straps tied to a major wood stud or anchored to a concrete wall. The straps should be anchored with a wide angle extending laterally about two feet on each side of the water heater, if possible.
4. Install child-proof type latches on your overhead kitchen cabinets and other cabinets where things might fall out.
5. Anchor the top of tall furniture to a wall using a strap and anchor, or an angle bracket secured to a stud in the wall. Hanging pictures should be hung from hooks secured into studs.
Move chandeliers, tall bookshelves, and large mirrors away from beds. By the time a sleeping occupant has realized the earthquake is happening the hazard may have already fallen on the bed.
6. If you have an antenna attached to a masonry chimney, move it. Masonry chimneys should be checked and tuck-pointed if the mortar has begun to deteriorate. Be aware that masonry chimneys are very likely to shake apart in an earthquake.
Preparedness:
1. Be prepared to live without power and water for at least 72 hours. The water heater and toilet tank will supply up to 45 gallons of water if they are not damaged. Having a water purifying filter on hand is always a good idea. These camping type filters are the ones I recommend but either water purification tablets or those household water filtering kits are suitable:
http://www.rei.com/online/store/search?n...
2. Have a battery operated radio on hand, or even one of those self-powering crank units.
3. Flashlights and batteries are essential.
4. Don't expect the telephone, either land or cellular to work. If they are working, avoid using them except for emergencies as they will be overloaded.
5. Be prepared to live outdoors, preferably in a tent while there is risk of an aftershock. If your house is damaged seriously it may not be safe to re-enter.
6. Have a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit on hand.
7. Have a family plan, and plan ahead who will be responsible for helping elderly or children out of the house and the route. Know your neighborhood and the skills of your neighbors. If there are doctors or other emergency personnel in the area know how to contact them. If your family is spread out, have someone out of the area for everyone to check in with. Long distance calls will be easier than local calls.
8. Make some plans for your pets. Many pets get confused during earthquakes and get lost.
9. Keep a small camp stove handy, or at least some canned food and a manual can opener. Eat the food in your refrigerator first, then the food in the freezer. An unopened freezer will last about 3 days.
10. Apply the same concepts to your workplace. Know how you will contact the rest of your family if at work. Many emergency personnel have their entire family carry a small CB-radio because they realize they would not be able to function properly if they were uncertain about the status of their family.
11. Stay off the roads unless it is an emergency. Try to leave roads open for emergency services like ambulances and fire trucks.

Catching any fish in Missouri?
Question:
I'm getting small BG and CF, but nothing big. Tried everything but worms. Any suggestion? Also, any way to tell if small lake is fished out? I try to not fish when just been stocked, no challenge.
Answer:
What's BG? Baby Goldfish?
What's CF? Cold Fingerling?
If its bluegill and catfish then you need to use a larger hook and bigger bait in deeper water for the big ones.

Farm Wedding in Western to Central Missouri?
Question:
Please help. I am trying to find a place for our reception after our wedding scheduled for October of '09. We are big hunters and country people and would love to have our reception in a giant cabin or renovated barn. I was born and raised near Lake of the Ozarks (Eldon) and he is from St. Joe. We haven't decided if we want it near KC or more towards my home or his. We are pretty open and if we could find that place we fall in love with, that's where we will have the wedding. Of course budget is always a variable and we would love to be able to bring our own food and alcohol. We are looking at approx. 150 to 200 guests. If anyone has any suggestions or know of an original place to go, please help a helpless bride to be. Thanks!
Answer:
Well, this is DEFINITELY Kansas City, it's in Leawood on the KS side, but there's this GREAT Lodge in a city park that is very rustic looking, it even looks like a barn. Here's a link:http://www.leawood.org/parks/lodge.aspx
It's located in Leawood, about a mile or less from St. Line, off 147th Street (South) and Mission Road. Granted, it's rather inconvenient for both sides of your family--a good hour or so from St. Joe, but, it IS a barn.

Wat kinda turtle????
Question:
Small stream municipal lake. Black shell, BIG feet, 2 ft long, 1 ft wide. I always try to yank them off, cause silly objects try to bite if you unhook. Did with this, and didn't see it too well. He must have stayed on bottom, rock bed, 2 to 4 feet deep. Some People here in Missouri kill all turtles in lakes, and carp in streams. Also, leave trash, dead fish, and spoiled bait on docks. I accept the bird do, but human too much. Hope you pull in a big one.
Yahoo placed this in pets????? Hope you are fishers.
I think I hooked him on side of shell bringing line up, but I will cut line. That's what I love about Yahoo. Always learning something. Thanks, guys.
Answer:
alligator snappers are ambush predators, if they're actively pursuing your bait/lures/catch, they're most likely common snapping turtles. A fishing hook in their mouth or throat or even stomach shouldn't cause them too much harm -unless- you've torn the lining of their stomach, such like that, I'd suggest cutting your line rather than trying to yank the hook free... easier on everyone involved... the hook will disintegrate on it's own over time without risking infection, etc.

Buffalo, another name for son of a bachelor?
Question:
Are buffalo the smartest, wiliest, most arrogant fresh water fish?
Here in Missouri we have a bunch of them. The big ones love to patrol right in the middle of streams and lakes. Then they jump right in front of you, I cast out, they go up/down stream for exactly 37 seconds, come back and jump 2 and 1/2 inches from bait. Then like a skater doing a double, jump again, in case I wasn't paying attention, and look me right in the eye. I've even gone into shallow water in summer to try to punch one out and it squiggles right under my legs and hid in a mocison hole. How do you catch them?
Answer:
Description
Ictiobus and bubalus are both Greek words meaning "bull fish" and "buffalo", respectively. The back and sides are light brown or otherwise dark with a coppery or greenish tent. The belly is pale yellow to white. Smallmouth buffalo scales are large, and the species sometimes be confused with common carp by the novice. However, buffalo lack the barbels of carp. Smallmouth buffalo, as opposed to bigmouth buffalo, have a distinctive sucker-type mouth, oriented downward.
Life History
Although the life history of smallmouth buffalo is not well understood, spawning seems to occur in the spring when water temperatures reach 60-65°F. Eggs are broadcast over weeds and mud bottom, hatching in one to two weeks. This species is primarily bottom feeding which is why insect larvae, algae, detritus, and sand often make up significant portions of the fishes' gut contents.
Distribution
The native range of the smallmouth buffalo includes larger tributaries of the Mississippi River from Montana east to Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The species is also found in Gulf slope drainages from Alabama to the Rio Grande River drainage. In Texas, smallmouth buffalo are found in most large streams, rivers, and reservoirs exclusive of the Panhandle.
Other
Although some anglers consider smallmouth buffalo to be a rough fish, in many areas the species is highly prized. Specimens in excess of 82 pounds have been landed by rod and reel anglers, whereas the trotline record is 97 pounds in Texas. Buffalo will sometimes take doughballs made with cottonseed meal, and when hooked provide exceptional sport. Many people may be unaware that smallmouth buffalo is quite a food fish. It is the number one species sold by commercial freshwater fishermen.

Danger in disguise: candy-flavor drugs
Strawberry meth hasn't hit locally in a big way, but police are on lookout
What if someone had the brilliant notion to make "the world's most dangerous drug" sweet tasting by adding candy flavors and making it look like Pop Rocks? Well, someone did and it might be catching on. As a father of a fifth grader, I was naturally concerned when I heard about the newest form of methamphetamine, known as "candy-meth." An e-mail has been circulating on the Web, alleging that candy-flavored meth is being passed out to kids at elementary schools. To verify evidence to support the claims in the e-mail go to Snopes.com .
(see link http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp),
Candy meth is a potential threat to anyone tricked into thinking that it’s not harmful.
Parents need to be informed on what kind of drugs are out there. Furthermore, parents need to talk to their children about the present dangers of drugs.
Here are the basic facts that exist regarding candy-flavored meth:
- candy meth is most commonly flavored with strawberry and is known on the street as "Strawberry Quick."
- other flavors may include chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape, and orange
- tell your children to never accept candy from strangers, or even friends if received from someone else
-meth is especially dangerous for kids, with symptoms of anxiety, paranoia, and increased heart rate
I am sure we can expect it in the future as trends tend to move through the larger cities," said Deputy Chief Julian Bernal, head of Dallas' narcotics division.
The Drug Enforcement Administration's Dallas office has not encountered the drug, but local agents are on the lookout, said spokeswoman Terri K. Wyatt.
"These are evil drug dealers who are marketing to kids," Special Agent Wyatt said.
Local bust
At 2 a.m. Tuesday, a Lake Worth officer spotted a man sleeping inside a Pontiac Firebird parked at a Sonic restaurant on State Highway 199. When police searched Ronnie N. Smith's car, they found more than 400 grams of strawberry meth in two large plastic bags, in addition to various prescription drugs, several stolen credit cards and driver's licenses and about $1,800 in cash.
The pink crystals in the large bags tested positive for meth, said Lake Worth police Capt. Dave Tatsak. While officers weren't inclined to give the stuff a taste test – doing so would be illegal – it "definitely smelled like strawberry," he said.
Mr. Smith, 45, of Jacksboro, was arrested on drug possession charges and was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail. He requested an attorney and refused to talk to investigators, leaving them with no idea where he got the Strawberry Quick or what his intentions with it were.
On April 11, a Fort Worth police officer found the drug during a traffic stop. About 5 p.m., the officer pulled over a Ford Explorer on a traffic violation in the 2300 block of Ridgmar Plaza and found a 20-year-old man in possession of some prescription Tylenol for which he had no prescription.
On the way to jail, the officer saw that the man was squirming, and once at the jail, the officer looked under the back seat and found a cigarette wrapper. It contained about a gram of "pink-colored, crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamines," also known as Strawberry Quick, the officer wrote in the report.
"Depending on what the manufacturers use to cut the meth down, it can have various coloration, including pink," said Lt. Dean Sullivan, a Fort Worth police spokesman. "But our officers watch the TV news, too, so the catch phrase 'Strawberry Quick' did appear in at least one report."
He said he knew of no other accounts of the drug in Fort Worth.
About a dozen other local police agencies contacted said they had not come across the drug.
Growing concern
Concern over strawberry meth spiked nationally in February, when the Nevada Department of Public Safety's special investigations unit issued a police bulletin alerting law enforcement colleagues that the Carson City Sheriff's Department had seized some of the substance in late January.
The bulletin noted that the drug first turned up in Sacramento, Calif., where dealers were cooking meth with strawberry-flavored drink mix to cut down on the drug's bitter taste when snorted.
"If meth is cut with something after it is cooked, it loses its potency," said Special Agent Wyatt in Dallas. "With this, it's cooked into it. It's not diluted. It retains its potency."
Arkansas police also have reported finding strawberry meth, and the DEA in Washington, D.C., reports that a similar pinkish-red crystalline drug has turned up in Washington state, Idaho, New Mexico, Missouri and Minnesota.
Two weeks ago, the rise in reports prompted Se

Thank you very much. I had no clue that people would willingly do disguise drugs as candy. You know what? You're probably going to save some kid's life. Thanks again..

Are you concerned about ACORN and reports of massive voter fraud?
Question:
WSJ writes:
Acorn is spending $16 million this year to register new Democrats and is already boasting it has put 1.3 million new voters on the rolls. The big question is how many of these registrations are real.
The Michigan Secretary of State told the press in September that Acorn had submitted "a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications." Earlier this month, Nevada's Democratic Secretary of State Ross Miller requested a raid on Acorn's offices, following complaints of false names and fictional addresses (including the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys).
Officials in Ohio are investigating voter fraud connected with Acorn, and Florida's Seminole County is withholding Acorn registrations that appear fraudulent. New Mexico, North Carolina and Missouri are looking into hundreds of dubious Acorn registrations. Wisconsin is investigating Acorn employees for, according to an election official, "making people up or registering people that were still in prison."
Then there's Lake County, Indiana, which has already found more than 2,100 bogus applications among the 5,000 Acorn dumped right before the deadline. "All the signatures looked exactly the same," said Ruthann Hoagland, of the county election board. Bridgeport, Connecticut estimates about 20% of Acorn's registrations were faulty. As of July, the city of Houston had rejected or put on hold about 40% of the 27,000 registration cards submitted by Acorn.
Answer:
There is one man who this group had registered to vote under 78 different names.
This is a group supported by the democrats and obama.
I am not a mccain fan or republican, just stating facts.
I am not a obama fan or a democrat either.
This shows how easy it is to mess with our voting system.
Dead people
criminals
illegal aliens
can all vote and have there vote counted.
Yes we are in a whole heap of trouble.
I'm glad at least some people realize what is going on, most just don't know, don't care to know or are too stupid to realize stuff like this is going on.
The best thing we can do is try to educate people on the truth about what is going on.
