Snake Bytes: 10/30 Halloween Eve (AZ Snake Pit)

I am not sure how rare a Sunday day off in the World Series is, but it seems rare. I could look into it, but I don't care that much lol.

In the history of Halloween, trick or treating is said to root from old Samhain festivals. Another superstition states that if a spider crawls into your pocket, it will bless you with everlasting wealth. Despite the common phobia of spiders many people share, spotting this insect on Halloween night is considered great luck. In 1941, FDR approved lend-lease to the Soviet Union.

SKID ROW's DAVE 'SNAKE' SABO Reflects On Breakup Of Classic ... (BLABBERMOUTH.NET)

In an interview with Guitar World magazine, SKID ROW guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo was asked how he feels about fans comparing the band's new singer Erik ...

The five of us go on that stage as a band and we all get paid equally. "We entertained the idea. "So, there was a time when we needed to walk away, but the love of the music brought us back together. He responded: "It would take those guys to realize that I have a lifetime manager. And we are absolutely running out of bands — bands that can play in sheds," he said. Two years ago, Bolan also confirmed that he and his bandmates "were entertaining the idea" of reuniting with Bach following Harnell's departure. "The fact that we are all still alive and we are all in our 50s — some closer to 60 than others — but that, to me, is selfish that we're not together. "We got to a point where we hated taking the stage together, but we did it because, at the end of the day, we loved the music and wanted to play those songs. Let's go out, get a couple of new guys, and see what happens.' We knew it would be different and take some time, but that didn't matter to us. We had to do that because there was a lot of what I'll call poisonous rhetoric flying around the confines of our tour bus. But over time, Rachel, Scotti and I slowly realized that we're brothers and loved each other, and although we might not have wanted to play in the band with certain people, we did want to continue to play the songs that we wrote. Things happened the way they did, and things had gotten very toxic by the end of a certain period in our history.

So I am once again asking the climbing community add some more bolts to the Snake Dike. Roper once asked, “Is every climb for everybody?” It may look like I want to defang the Snake Dike and bring it down to the lowest common denominator, but the Snake Dike is not a test piece. Snake Dike is an old route of mine, together with Jim Bridwell and Chris Fredericks. In 1965 Eric Beck, with Jim Bridwell and Chris Fredericks, made the first ascent of Snake Dike (5,7, 8 pitches) on Half Dome. The accident stirred [debate](https://www.climbing.com/people/retro-bolt-easy-moderate-rock-climbs-peter-croft-snake-dike-half-dome-debate/) within the climbing community about whether the route should be retrobolted. [accident](https://www.climbing.com/news/80-foot-slab-fall-yosemite-climber-critically-injured/) this year when New Zealand student Anna Parsons suffered an 80-foot fall that seriously injured her and led to the amputation of her left foot.

DJ Snake on why he couldn't have shot 'Majenta Riddim' anywhere ... (The Hindu)

DJ Snake will perform in six cities as part of the EDM fest, kicking off in Ahmedabad, followed by Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and Bengaluru.

With all the India exposure, he inevitably looks to collaborate with some talent here. The song pays tribute to the firefighters of the region and has a mix of Dancehall and Indian sounds. It was a fun process to work on it with her; the best records are always like this, they are fun to make. He was inspired to take up DJing after seeing a scene in the classic 1995 French film La Haine, in which turntablist Cut Killer performs from his window for the neighbourhood below. Closer home, it’s ‘Magenta Riddim’, a video shot in Hyderabad, Telangana in 2018 that struck a chord with the local fans. Fans are looking forward to listening to his signature sound: Electro House, Trap and pop with a dash of Indian rhythm and beat.

Parasite cleanses are 'modern snake oil.' Experts explain why. (The Washington Post)

Scientists argue it's highly unlikely that you have intestinal parasites. But even if you do, a home remedy won't do much, they say.

“These supplements and cleanses are also laxatives,” Akinsete says. Parasitic infections are widespread at the global level, but not in the United States and other developed countries. If you want to do something extra, consider taking a “When in fact, it’s just a string of vegetable matter.” “Parasite cleanses are the latest incarnation of a pseudoscientific health trend that sells the idea that there are toxins in your body that need to be purged. “For a long time, there have been people selling products with various health claims designed to separate people from their money,” says Thomas Moore, an infectious-disease specialist and clinical professor at the University of Kansas School of Medicine at Wichita. And about the photographic evidence that people post online (do yourself a favor and don’t look it up), what might appear like a worm could just be undigested bits of kale. Manufacturers of parasite cleanse products will tell you that most people have parasites in their intestines and don’t even know it. (Most people with worms do not have any symptoms of an infection.) “If you really have a parasite, getting it diagnosed is the most important thing to do because there are effective treatments. Some parasites can be visible under a microscope, and DNA tests can identify those that might not be so visible. So was there any truth to the advice I just bought into?

PICS: Snake catcher bags unfriendly black mamba days after ... (Independent Online)

Earlier in the week, Sarel van der Merwe bagged two green mambas in two separate incidents.

In the first, he was called to a complex in Oslo Beach. Then I grabbed it,” Van der Merwe said. Then I went back inside the bedroom. Sarel van der Merwe said he received the call for the black mamba when it was still dark outside. “There was wire on the door (bedroom), so no one entered. Umzumbe is about 80km from Shelly Beach,” Van der Merwe said.

The pine snake is also nicknamed the "ghost of the sandhills," due to its elusiveness and the long, apparition-like tracks it leaves in the sand. "It was perfect timing," he said. "[Irwin] was larger than life," he said. "I just found my first-ever pine snake and I thought it was a done day." "It was one of the most — hands down — incredible moments of my wildlife career," he said. The duo came across a "pristine" longleaf pine habitat with soft sand — which Cave described as "perfect" for pine snakes to burrow into, with a modified scale at the tip of their nose.
