NORMAN, Okla. -- Everybody who's anybody wanting to be seen hours before Saturday night's Notre Dame-Oklahoma football game was milling around Campus Corner.
Just blocks north of the 82,000-seat relic they call Owen Field, it's kind of an Eddy Street Commons on steroids.
Pay attention: Country music star Toby Keith, who lives a couple of miles from Norman, could be walking by any minute.
But most of the folks crammed curb-to-curb and spilling over onto the sidewalks in front of the shops are wearing red. It's a subdued crowd. They like their beer and their barbecue. Not rowdy. Not boisterous. Want to get them riled up? Yell "Boomer!" Sure enough, seconds later, someone will answer "Sooner."
It's just what they do. It's an Oklahoma thing. Land grab and all.
But, where are all the Irish fans? Only a few brave ones are wandering through this sea of red.
Lace up the Dr. Scholl's and start hoofing. About a mile south of Owen Field is the massive parking lot in front of the Lloyd Noble Center, where Sooner basketball teams play their games. Barely on the fringe of campus, a roped-off area of the lot, with a huge tent situated in the middle, is the home of the Notre Dame tailgate.
Mike Milligan, a former president of the Notre Dame Club of Oklahoma City, volunteered to run the official tailgate.
"What was I thinking?" said the 1977 grad who dabbles in oil, gas and real estate investments, as well as philanthropic work. "This has been a job."
Plan was for about 800 alumni to pay $40 for hamburgers, brats, unlimited trips to the beer truck — but no barbecue. What's the deal?
"We thought 800, but right now we're heading toward 1,000," Milligan said.
And plenty more heading toward the area looked thirsty.
"(The population of) Oklahoma is only about 5 percent Catholic," said Milligan, who converted when he was married in 1978. "All Catholics here follow Notre Dame. (In the '70s), being Catholic was difficult. You felt ostracized.
"By the same token, Catholics dealt with Catholics. If you needed a plumber, you looked on the back of your (church) bulletin for a Catholic plumber. If you needed an electrician, you looked on the back of your bulletin for an electrician.
"It's not like that now. Everyone's pretty much accepted now."
Notre Dame accepted all shapes and sizes Saturday. Milligan said at least 22 states were represented.
"I was shocked," said Milligan, who noted alums from Hawaii and California may have come the farthest. "All they do is travel around and watch Notre Dame football games. What a life."
Tim Flenniken of Edmond, Okla., which is to Norman what Granger is to South Bend, had a good reason to wait in line for a brat with a leprechaun painted on his cheek. His daughter Mariah is a sophomore who plays the trumpet in the Irish band. Another daughter Shawna graduated from ND in 2002. Of course, a third daughter, Bailey, is a freshman who plays the flute in the Oklahoma band.
"There's been smack talking between the girls all week," Flenniken said. "It's been a hectic week, but it's been fun getting to see them all."
Smack-talking. Hectic. Lots of fun. Plenty of beer and barbecue.
Oh yeah, there's a football game, too.

one 12-ounce bag small, frozen, precooked shrimp, defrosted and chopped1 medium rib celery, finely diced2-3 Tbs mayonnaise (or more to taste)pinch cayenne pepper
6-9 slices bacon, crisply cookedthinly sliced avocado as needed (approx. 1/2 - 1 avocado)thinly sliced tomato as needed (approx. 1 medium tomato)
6 New England style rollsbutter for toasting outside of rolls
Defrost one 12-ounce bag small, frozen, precooked shrimp in a bowl under cold running water.Crisp up 1 - 2 slices of bacon per roll and thinly sliced as much avocado and tomato as you think you'll need.
Drain shrimp well and chop into 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces.....add to a a bowl with 1 medium, finely diced rib of celery, 2-3 Tbs mayonnaise and a tiny sprinkling of cayenne pepper and mix to combine.
New England style rolls have flat sides on the outside and you want to spread a little soft butter over those sides....and then toast the rolls in a large nonstick pan, on both sides, until they're golden brown.
Add some bacon, sliced avocado and tomato to each roll and add a generous spoonful of the shrimp salad.
Serve it up with Cape Cod potato chips on the side.
Substitute regular hot dog rolls for the New England style rolls....just slice a tiny bit off the outsides before spreading with soft butter and toasting.

If you have ships around a ship with enemy culture, you will not repair as fast (again proportional to your culture). More culture features are yet to come.

Chad bans use of Land Cruisers
- Posted on Wednesday 28 July 2010 - 11:01John A. Afful, AfricaNews reporter in Takoradi, GhanaChad's Public Security Minister, Ahmat Mahamat Bashir, has banned the use of Land Cruiser pick-ups and reserved them "exclusively for military use," in a press statement on Tuesday following their frequent use by rebel forces to oppose the government of President Idriss Deby."Any ownership of an all-terrain Land Cruiser pick-up is banned across the territory except those owned by the administration, by NGOs, by diplomats and by traditional chiefs," he said.
"This decision stems from a choice made by the government to consider this type of truck as a vehicle reserved exclusively for military use and related purposes."
According to SAPA, owners of such pick-ups are required to "deliver them to the administrative authorities" so that an "ad hoc commission (can make) an evaluation of the worth of the vehicles and pay compensation to owners who have proved their rightful claim."
Land Cruiser pick-up is quite common in Chad and are often used by rebel groups when they make their offensives. The last clashes were in May and involved a force, the Popular Front for National Renaissance (PFNR) that operates inside the country.
Ndjamena residents are however graved with the government's decision and the president of the Chadian Association to Support Prisoners, Jean Bebegue has added his voice to the call saying, "everybody knows that these vehicles are used by the security forces and the rebels. If the government expects by this means to stop rebellion and insecurity, it is wrong."
For Honore Ngounlao, an agronomist, "the government should rather seize Toyota Land Cruisers without registration plates, which certain men in military uniform use for other means."
"This decision is arbitrary and unfair," said Didier Nouba, a teacher. "The people who made this vehicle did not say that it should be used exclusively by the military."
The government has been working to resume talks with other groups that are based across the border in western Sudan.

Plumas National Forest Supervisor Earl Ford leans against bundles of wood culled from biomass. It's part of Greenville logger Randy Pew's plan to build a new business with his son, Jared, while ridding the forest of biomass and providing a merchantable product. These bundles are prototypes for the actual half-cords that will be available for sale. Photo submitted |
Greenville logger Randy Pew wants to remove biomass from the forest, build a profitable business and provide a valuable commodity.
He shared his plan with the Quincy Library Group on April 25, and so impressed Supervisor Lori Simpson, who was in attendance, that she invited him to the Board of Supervisors' May 7 meeting.
"You're a man of resilience," Simpson told Pew during the supervisors' meeting. "You're not whining. It shows what kind of character you have."
The murder of five people in Fernley and Mustang Nevada Monday, May 13 touches Lassen County.
Two of the victims are former Lassen County residents — Les Leiber, 69, the former general manager of the Lassen Municipal Utility District and Angie Duff, 67. Also killed were Robert Pape 84, his wife Dorothy Pape, 84, and Eliazar Graham, 52.
Jeremiah Bean, 25, is in custody and could face charges including open murder with a deadly weapon, arson, burglary, robbery, ex-felon in possession with a firearm, and grand larceny.
The Plumas Children's Council invites everyone to share in the fun of the 26th annual Children's Fair. The fair will be held Saturday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds in Quincy.
The fair offers families the opportunity to spend the day together doing fun, free activities.
Scott Cory discusses his reasons for resigning as Chester High School principal. Photo by Samantha P. Hawthorne |
After a 14-year stint as principal to both Chester Elementary School and Chester High School, beloved principal Scott Cory has resigned, effective June 30.
With much deliberation, Cory said he accepted a position as the superintendent for Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District — the same district from which Cory graduated high school.
Plumas County supervisors were in the mood to say "yes" May 7 and approved several requests to fill vacant positions.
Social Services Director Elliott Smart received approval to hire a benefits assistance counselor, a social worker, an office assistant and a staff services analyst.

Kineo Quality & AwardsQuality is a major focus at Kineo and we are proud to have ISO 9001:2008 accreditation. ISO 9001:2008 is the global standard for quality management systems. Our focus is on delivering solutions that help our clients to achieve their business objectives rather than winning awards. However, it is nice to be recognised by the industry and to pick up some awards from time to time. Kineo's Award-Winning SolutionsIn addition to the below e-learning awards, 2012 also saw Totara LMS (our co-owned open-source LMS for corporates), pick up 3 awards:
E-Learning Awards 2012Silver for Best Private Sector E-learning Project for our work with Nikon. Bronze for Best Not-for-Profit E-learning Project for our work with Whizz-Kidz. Brandon Hall Gold Award 2012Brandon Hall Gold for Best in Compliance Training for our suite of e-learning modules and awareness raising with Warner Bros. Four E-Learning Awards 2011Silver for Best e-learning project securing widespread adoption for our work with BP. Silver for Best use of rapid e-learning content for our work with McDonald's. Silver for Excellence in the production of learning content - Private Sector for our work with Compass Group. Bronze for Excellence in the production of learning content - Not for Profit Sector for our work with League Football Education and Sportiv8. And Kineo friend and our nominee Cable&Wireless's Mike Booth, won E-learning industry award for outstanding achievement – individual. (Well done Mike!) View the case study of some of our work with Cable&Wireless. E-Learning Age Gold Award 2010Kineo and Marks & Spencer struck gold at the 2010 E-Learning Age Awards, with the M&S Café Service project being recognised by the judges as the best e-learning private sector project of 2010. Articulate Guru Award 2010Kineo won an Articulate Guru Award for the e-learning it created and delivered with McDonald's UK using Articulate. Read about the e-learning award. Rapid E-Learning & Moodle LMS Award 2009Kineo won the Silver Award at the 2009 E-Learning Age Awards for our rapid e-learning and Moodle LMS deployment for Canon. Read the full e-learning case study. Technological Innovation Award 2009PwC won the prestigious Re:locate award for technological innovation for their Global Mobility e-learning developed by Kineo. PwC scooped the accolade for Technological Innovation in Relocation for its web-based Global Mobility e-learning tool, which offers training and accreditation to all the firm's Global Mobility practitioners. The e-learning consists of nine e-learning modules and an online certificated assessment which has been rolled out to over 100 countries. Describing this as an "exceptional" entry, the judges highlighted the product's user-friendliness and effectiveness. As one judge said, "Outstanding: incredibly slick and professional – and it works." Articulate E-Learning Award 2009Kineo client Springfield Service Corporation won an Articulate Guru award at this year's 2009 Articulate E-Learning awards. Tim Buteyn, Director of Training with Springfield Service Corporation, submitted the award-winning course, and designed a compelling story and e-learning module. The judges loved his approach. What also stood out for the judges was the way he used a custom player from Articulate partner Kineo to create a clean professional look, along with the use of video and interactivity to reinforce the learning. E-Learning Company of the Year 2008The E-learning Age awards recognise excellence in the e-learning industry in the UK, with some categories having over 27 entries. The awards were announced at a gala dinner in London on November 6th, 2008. Kineo was chosen as E-Learning Company of the Year by a panel of judges, comprising experts in the industry. The judges commented: "Kineo employs a fresh approach and has an unrelenting focus on customer development and customer satisfaction. The judges noted outstanding customer feedback." Blended Learning Solution of the Year 2008Kineo's innovative blended learning program with BELL won the US Training Magazine's Training Technology in Action (TIA) award in the US for Blended Learning & Performance Project of the Year 2008. The TIA awards are judged by industry experts and place a heavy emphasis on demonstrable, data-driven learning impact and results. BELL (Building Educated Leaders for Life) is a rapidly growing 'not for profit' organisation that provides out-of-school-time tutoring to elementary school children living in low-income, urban communities in the US. BELL commissioned Kineo after a competitive selection process to partner with them to develop a blended learning solution which would enable them to reduce costs and expand the reach of their learning into new regions. Rapid E-Learning Solution of the Year 2008Kineo won second prize in the World of Learning Awards for Rapid E-Learning Solution of the Year 2008. To deliver on challenging key business and customer requirements, Cable&Wireless partnered with Kineo to develop new ways to address business requirements. The rapid e-learning approach that was developed enabled Cable&Wireless to transform learning in their business. Judged by an independent panel of experts, the World of Learning Awards recognise and reward organisations and people who have significantly advanced workplace productivity and performance within the field of learning and development. Kineo also won the E-Learning Age Silver Award for its rapid e-learning work with Cable&Wireless. |

Feds Update Flu Apps
Centers for Disease Control have updated their two flu apps -- FluView and CDC Influenza -- for the busy flu season.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have updated their two flu apps and data for the early-arriving, busy 2012-2013 flu season, according to recent postings on the government's mobile app gallery, apps.usa.gov.
The two apps are FluView and CDC Influenza. FluView just includes information on nationwide flu levels and trends, while CDC Influenza, which is targeted at healthcare professionals, includes that data as well as more detailed medical information.
More Government Insights
- Realizing agility with discipline: Addressing the needs of agile adoption in a government environment
- Strengthening Security Protocols for Teleworking Employees
White Papers
More >>Reports
- Research: Federal IT Priorities: Focus On The Foundation
- Government: IT Project Management: Adopting Lightweight Methods
FluView, designed for the iPhone, shows users flu activity levels around the country, and lets users view trends in that data over several week stretches. It also links users to state health department websites for more detailed local information.
[ Accuracy is the key issues when it comes to health apps. Read EHR Accuracy Remains Problem, CHIME Says. ]
The CDC Influenza app, meanwhile, comes in both iPhone and iPad versions, with an Android version on the way. The app includes flu activity information, vaccination and infection control recommendations, treatment and lab testing information and videos on the flu.
While CDC says that the data for the apps is updated regularly, CDC Influenza has earned only two and a half stars out of five by iTunes users, with multiple complaints about data being out of date.
The CDC's apps are far from being the only apps and websites for tracking and treating the flu. In 2011, CDC gave away $35,000 in prizes for its Flu App Challenge. The winning entrant was an online game named Flu-Ville in which users vaccinate residents of a virtual city and try to prevent the spread of flue.
Other apps available on iOS devices include Flu News and Genentech's Fight the Flu. Apps for Android include Flu Statistics and the privately-developed CDC Flu Informant.
Google's Flu Trends and Flu Near You are other websites that include data on recent flu activity. Flu Trends shows that flu activity peaked nationally in December and January and indicates that flu activity remains at least high in every state. Flu Near You crowdsources flu reports from its users and then maps the reports.
Other broader apps track the flu as well. For example, Dizie and MappyHealth analyze tweets worldwide, matches them with health information such as whether the tweet indicates that the Twitter user has the flu, and then plot those tweets in maps and graphs.

Business Telephone Sales sells Nortel Phones such as the Nortel M7310 Phone at the lowest prices. The brand Nortel is also known as Northern Telecom. Many of the Nortel phones have different silk screened logos on the top of the phones. These logos can say Nortel Meridian, Norstar, Bellsouth, and Nortel Networks. The main thing you need to verify is the actual model number on the bottom of the phone. For example, the Nortel M7310 will also say NT8B20 on the bottom of the phone near where the phone jack is and the Nortel Networks T7316e will say NT8B27. You cannot use a Nortel M7310 on the same system as you would the M2616 LCD phone and vice versa. If you have a Nortel MICS or CICS system you can use either Meridian M7324 and Nortel T7316, but if you have the Nortel 824 or Nortel 616 phone system you must confirm you have DR5 software in order to use the Nortel T7316e phones as they were designed for the Nortel M7310, Nortel M7324, and M7208 phones and the lower release software will not support the Nortel T7316/T7316e phones.
All phones are refurbished as we do not sell new product. All Nortel phones come with a new handset cord, new line cord, and handset.

O2 mobile broadband
O2 has a range of dongles and sim cards suitable for laptops, tablets and iPads...
As well as being a mobile phone provider, O2 (www.O2.co.uk) offers a range of mobile broadband packages - with a choice of pay-as-you-go, rolling 30-day deals and 18 or 24-month contracts.
O2's pay monthly contracts come with a generous monthly download allowance, from anywhere between 1GB and 10GB. Additional usage is charged at several pence, so it's best to ensure you're on the right package from day one.
Users also get unlimited access to thousands of free Wi-Fi hotspots.
O2 also offers a monthly discount on its home broadband for customers on selected mobile broadband packages.
O2 mobile broadband benefits
The free Wi-Fi access O2 customers get with their mobile broadband packages is great, as it allows users to save on their download allowance by connecting to the wireless broadband network whenever possible.
O2 mobile broadband coverage
Make sure you check the O2 network's 3G coverage in your area before signing up as coverage can be patchy in more rural parts of the UK. You can check online or in an O2 store.
For more information, read our mobile broadband coverage guide.
Our expert's verdict
Michael Phillips, managing director of broadbandchoices, said: "While O2 doesn't offer the cheapest mobile broadband packages on the market, customers taking one of its pay monthly packages can get a discount on its home broadband - cutting the cost of its already great value bundles."

Here's a little game I want to introduce, 5 Letters.
It's simple, really.
So one person will pick 5 random letters, and the next person will have to make a sentence, and each word of the sentence will have to begin with the letters that the above posted has picked. Then after they have made a sentence, the person will pick 5 new letters, and the game continues.
Person 1: H, R, A, L, M
Person 2: Hey, Roads Are Long, Man.
(gives 5 new letters and game continues)
Also, some rules..
- You may only repeat ONE letter in a set (K, A, M, W, A)
- It must be a sentence.
- 5 letters ONLY
- You have to make the sentence based on the order of the letters the person gave you.
(some more rules may be added as the game progresses)
Make the sentences as cheesy as you can, but remember it still has to be a sentence.
I'll start off: P, A, J, R, B

Looking for a hearty sea bear to ferry me copy of Dead Island + DLCs around the treacherous german coastal line. Be payin' in grog, paypal or a steam game of equal value.
messaged XisLoose
Play Arma2:CO with us. (It isn't nearly as difficult as you might think.)
It's okay to not like things.
Hey there!
I'd love to get my hands on the Plentiful Paradox Package, which is currently on sale for $12.49 on amazon.com. Due to the lack of a credit card, it's not possible for me to purchase the package myself.
Although amazon.com doesn't offer any gifting option for digital downloads, it should be possible to simply forward the Steam keys (and probably the non-Steam keys, too).
If some kind US-based lifeform (or, in fact, anyone who's able to purchase the bundle) would be willing to help me out, I'd much appreciate it. Just leave a quick reply or shoot me a PM.
Regarding payment: I'm probably limited to PayPal, so that should be OK with any potential buyer.
Thanks in advance,
According to a recent post of an Amazon employee (?) over at CAG, the Paradox offer just got extended 'til the end of the week. Also, this:
Maybe this makes things a little more interesting for the smuggling person? Additionally, whoever is willing to help me out may keep the non-Steam-redeemable games (namely "Sword of the Stars - Complete Collection" and "Victoria II") for free, as I'm primarily interested in the Steam-redeemable ones.Originally Posted by Amazon DVG Deals
Just to clarify: I'd send the money via PayPal in advance (+ whatever it takes to cover PayPal fees), so there's practically no risk for the buyer.
Also, as stated above, the person in question may keep the non-Steam-redeemable games.
I can help. Not sure if I'll be online before 4 PM GMT but I should be available starting then (since I'm at work lol).
is it true that max payne 3 is $45 on steam for people on the uk side of things?
if so, i'd be interested in sending someone that via paypal for a copy.
I've been taken care of.
Huge thanks to SirKicksalot for helping me out so quickly (and also thanks to Mcmicker for his/her goodwill)!
I need somebody to smuggle me Saints Row 3. I can offer a copy of Portal 2 or cold hard cash via paypal.
"Reason is the madness of the strongest"
~Eugène Ionesco
I'd also really appreciate it if someone could gift-smuggle me the uncut version of SR3 on Steam since it's on sale right now, hooray!
I could trade for either Red Orchestra 2 GOTY (unfortunately the cut version) or Sonic Generations or via PayPal..
Hooray, thanks to SirKicksalot it's downloading now. :)

I'm looking for someone to help me get the Plentiful Paradox Bundle from Amazon.com. I'm only looking to get Crusader Kings II, the helpful person can keep the rest, if they like. Contact me via pm or meloncrab on steam. Cheers.
Afternoon, long time lurker under a previous alias which I ditched due to the log in bug not allowing me to comment, which funnily enough doesn't work on this account either. Anyway, this whole Battlefield 3 Premium fiasco has got me wondering if the Origin giftable games work over seas? Anybody previously tried it?
Willing to trade from a list of games on steam/gamersgate or buy a gift of a similar value if no other arrangements can be made.
I'm failing to writing a blog, specifically about playing games the wrong way
Oh, in the inevitable case that in the upcoming steam sale the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series is somehow on offer, please get back to me. I'm in Germany, and desperately looking for a steam version. cheers. steam id: elephantgod
I'd also like to get L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition and I'm not too keen on paying this 40% "special euro-country tax" ... If any US-flavored person feels escpecially "smuggly" today, feel free to contact me via PM or leave a quick reply here.
Payment via PayPal or Steam game of equal value.
What's the problem with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? All three games are available on the German store with no censorship applied whatsoever.
huh. I didn't notice that. In the back of my mind I was sure they used to not be available. but oh well, less smuggling then :) cheers for the heads-up!
Can someone help me get Amazon's Plethora of Paradox games? I'm in the EU and can't buy it from here!
Thanks a lot!

Congrats to James on this honour. After the year he had it's certainly deserved.

James is all but universally regarded as the best player in his sport, Buster is not. James won an Olympic gold, Buster did not. James was the regular season MVP and the Finals MVP, Buster only got one of those.
James winning it was as obvious as it gets. No one had the year he had, and it wasn't really close. I get an argument for Bolt, but I'd be more inclined to vote for him if he broke his own world record. Winning 3 gold medals, even in track, isn't as rare as doing what LeBron did.
LeBron definitly deserved it. NBA Championship, NBA MVP, NBA Finals MVP, and Gold Medal all in one year is very impressive.
What a bunch of women on this site. Some people are to god damn sensitive
Solid choice. Michael Jordan is the only other man to win a championship, NBA MVP and Olympic Gold in the same year.

Fort Delaware State Park (
Delaware City
Fort Delaware sits on a patch of land known as Pea Patch Island, which legends says received its name after a ship hauling peas ran aground and spilled its contents in the mud bank below. The peas took root and started forming the beginnings of the island. It was used as a private hunting ground until 1813 when the state legislature seized the property, following the recommendation from Pierre Charles L'Enfant to use it as a defense site for the American military. An early incarnation of a military fort was launched in 1819, but a fire heavily damaged the structure in 1831 and the rest was completely scrapped two years later. The construction on the current incarnation of the fort began in 1848 and was completed in 1859 for the estimated cost of three million, making Fort Delaware the largest fort in the country at the time.
The Civil War
When the Battle of Fort Sumter ushered in the American Civil War in April 1861, the Commonwealth Artillery of Pennsylvania moved into the fort to defend against potential Confederate incursions. Soon after, Confederate prisoners and sympathizers started to arrive and Fort Delaware began its new life as a military prison camp. Though originally designed to keep the enemy out, the fact that it was surrounded by water made it an ideal place to also keep the enemy in.
During its initial year, the camp held around 250 prisoners total, but that number essentially doubled with the arrival of 248 Confederate prisoners of war that were captured during the first Battle of Kernstown. Along with the new arrivals, the fort also received its first death in the form of Captain Lewis Holloway on April 9, 1862. Holloway, who had been captured in the battle, was believed to have come down with pneumonia and arrived at the fort in a grave state. When enquiries came down to fort Captain Augustus Gibson of how many more prisoners the fort could hold, he simply replied that they were already full. Orders were then quickly issued to begin construction on wooden barracks to hold up to 2,000 prisoners.
Unruly prisoners could face solitary confinement or be "bucked and gagged," which involved placing a long pole between the two elbows and putting a stick in the prisoner's mouth that was secured by a leather thong. Those that were "bucked and gagged" at Fort Delaware were then hauled up by rope until they were suspended from the ceiling, where they remained for the duration of their punishment. Deserters might be branded with the letter "D", and thieves would have their heads shaved and then made to march in the parade ground with a sign identifying their crime. However, these were fairly typical military punishments during this era.
Captain Augustus Gibson
By most accounts, Captain Gibson was relatively lenient on the prisoners under his ward and did his best to provide good living conditions for both his soldiers and the prisoners. His basic approach was to treat the prisoners the way he should be treated if the roles were reversed. However, his approach caused local residents in the area to openly question his loyalty and his sympathy for the Confederate cause. To make matters worse, over three thousand more prisoners arrived by July 1862 and another 20 prisoners had died during their stay. With the numbers quickly growing, Gibson was having a harder time maintaining control.
The fatal error came when General Lorenzo Thomas visited the camp and suggested bringing in a gunboat to patrol the island and be on the lookout for escape attempts. Confident in his troops, Gibson turned down the offer. However, only a couple weeks later on July 16, 1862, he would be proven wrong when 19 prisoners managed to board a makeshift raft and paddled it to the Delaware side where local residents aided in their escape. Combined with growing suspicion of his allegiance, the escape proved to be Gibson's downfall and he was removed. A rotating cast of successors would follow him until the arrival of Brigadier General Albin E. Schoepf on April 13, 1863. He would remain at the post for the duration of the war.
General Terror
Brigadier General Schoepf took a much different approach to his command over the prison than Gibson did. While most historians note that Schoepf was never directly linked to individual cases of prisoner abuse, almost all suggest that he did nothing to stop his men from dishing out their own punishment. Typical punishment reported was beatings, constant raids on the prisoner's barracks looking for contraband, prisoners hung by their thumbs, and even the occasional unprovoked murder. It did not take long for the prisoners inside Fort Delaware to give Schoepf the nickname of "General Terror".
Ahl's Heavy Artillery Company
Another despised Union official came in the form of Captain George W. Ahl. Aside from his reported distaste for the Confederate prisoners, Ahl allegedly oversaw and/or instigated some of the abuse himself. Even worse was the unusual battery that Ahl commanded. The 1st Delaware Heavy Artillery was a battery in the Union army that was composed primarily of former Confederate prisoners of war. Those soldiers that could prove they were conscripted to serve in the Confederate army and were willing to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States were allowed to join. Over 175 men took the offer and joined the battery. They were assigned garrison and guard duty at Fort Delaware during their entire period of service. Men that had been prisoners of war just days earlier were now tasked with overseeing their former companions. Needless to say, they were met with bitter contempt from the Confederate prisoners, but were also completely mistrusted by their new allies in the form of fellow Union soldiers. However, the men did ultimately receive better treatment and rations than their former inmates.
...But this place is spoken of by all who have been confined
there as a perfect hell on Earth.
- Decimus Barziza
The Fort Delaware Death Pen
By the time Schoef took control of Fort Delaware, the inmate population had swelled to 8,000 prisoners. Following the arrivals of soldiers captured during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, the population grew to 12,500. With the prison population swelling, conditions began to deteriorate. Aside from the reported abuse, disease also began to take its toll on both the prisoners and guards alike. While the island location of the fort made it ideal to keep escapes to a minimum, it also exasperated the conditions. During the summer months, the island conditions were overly hot and muggy and proved to be a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which helped spread disease. The wooden barracks also did little to keep the men who were given little clothing and generally undernourished already warm in the winter months.
The water supply had been a problem for Fort Delaware from the beginning, but the problem grew worse as more and more prisoners arrived. Before long, overflowing excrement from the the camp itself (prisoners had to be escorted to the latrines by understaffed guards at night due to escape attempts - see Escape Attempts below) eventually contaminated the water source. While food had been adequately rationed in its early days, that too soon became a limited quantity and the prisoners were grossly underfed. What food they could get was described as slimy, rotten, and sometimes infested with maggots.
The inmates soon dubbed the fort the "Fort Delaware Death Pen" or even "that lowermost Hell of human hells" and it quickly became the most feared Union prison in the south. Some have described the conditions and rations as the Union's retaliation to the conditions faced by their soldiers at the Confederate prison of
in Georgia. There is even an account of nearby concerned citizens attempting to hold a picnic to raise money to buy vegetables for the inmates, only to be arrested by Union soldiers for their efforts. Meanwhile, others have suggested that it was simply the case of limited supplies in the midst of a war mixed with the fact that the prison was understaffed and unprepared for the overpopulation of inmates. Whatever the case, diseases such as small pox, dysentery, and scurvy took their toll on the population. Of the over 32,000 men that passed through Fort Delaware, around 2,500 of them died. 2,436 of their numbers were buried in mass graves nearby in New Jersey in what is today known as Finn's Point National Cemetery.
Today, Fort Delaware is often hit with the label of being the "Andersonville of the North." Interestingly, several other former-prison camps of the North are also given this distinction, including Rock Island Prison in Illinois, Elmira Prison Camp in New York, and Camp Douglas in Illinois. Of these, Elmira comes the closest with a death rate of 24 percent versus the 33 percent registered at
. In comparison, Fort Delaware's death rate was close to 7.6 percent.
The Immortal Six Hundred
As bad as conditions were at Fort Delaware, they paled in comparison to what several of its own inmates would later encounter. While their fellow prisoners despised the former-Confederate troops that joined Ahl's Heavy Artillery Company, a select group of their population would become revered for their loyalty and become known throughout the south as the "Immortal Six Hundred."
In June 1864, the city of Charleston, South Carolina was under constant bombardment by Union forces. It was then that Confederate General Sam Jones sent a wire to his Union counterpart, General J.G. Foster, to inform him that there were fifty captured Union soldiers that were made up of general and field officers inside the city limits. While some argue that the intent of the note was to assure their protection, it was not taken that way. Foster took the wire as a threat that the men were being used as human shields and fired off a request to President Lincoln for the Union to respond in kind. Immediately, fifty Confederate officers at Fort Delaware were assembled for this very purpose. However, by the time they reached Charleston, negotiations had started for a possible prisoner exchange. The men were made to wait aboard the ship for several days until an agreement had been reached and the men suddenly moved from being potential human shields to free men again, serving the Confederate army.
Within days of the exchange however, the Confederate army transported six hundred more men to Charleston in hopes of a similar deal. Word reached Fort Delaware that another troop swap might me in the works, so when six hundred of them were called forth, the men were completely exhilarated. On August 10, 1864, the men were loaded on a steamboat and set sail for Charleston. However, the prisoner-exchange request reached as far as then-Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant, who immediately rejected the idea. So instead, during their voyage Federal Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton, issued orders that the men were to be transported to Morris Island instead and used as human shields from Confederate gunners at Fort Sumter, in retaliation of the Union officers held in Charleston.
Once on the island, the men were placed in open stockades under the guard of the all-black 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, who had recently gained notoriety for their assault on Fort Wagner, which took the life of their commanding officer Colonel Robert Gould Shaw (the events of which were portrayed in the movie
). Aside from the constant fire coming from their fellow Confederate forces, the men were issued limited rations in retaliation for the conditions at
. During this time, three of the men died from the horrid conditions, but none by friendly fire.
After a yellow fever epidemic struck Charleston in October, the men were then transported to Fort Pulaski in Georgia. Upon their arrival, the men were initially issued extra rations and the promise of more blankets and clothing. However, the offer never came to fruition and the men soon continued to exist on measly rations - again precipitated by retaliation for
. By the time the men were returned to Fort Delaware on March 12, 1865, thirteen men had passed away at Fort Pulaski and another five died at Hilton Head, South Carolina - most from dysentery.
The remaining men arrived back at Fort Delaware and were greeted by their fellow inmates, who were shocked at the men's emaciated condition. It would prove to be too late for another 25 of the men, who would later die at Fort Delaware. Word of the men's valor and refusal to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States, despite being placed in horrific conditions, quickly spread. They became known as the "Immortal Six Hundred" and were universally honored and respected throughout the Confederate States.
Escape Attempts
Based on the conditions and reputation of the prison camp at Fort Delaware, it should come as no surprise that escape attempts were a regular occurrence. The outhouses were actually positioned on piers over the Delaware River itself, due to the fact that the island had no other facilities. While it was an unsuccessful attempt to maintain sanitary conditions inside the prison, it also provided an attractive avenue for escape. To counter this, Union officials stationed guards near the latrines and prevented inmates from loitering on the walkways leading to them, to avoid a potential distraction that some used for escape.
The positioning of the latrines and strict orders to prevent loitering ultimately led to a fatal shooting on the night of July 7, 1864. At the time, Confederate Colonel Edward Pope Jones was returning from a trip to the latrines when he came across a group of fellow inmates that were congregating on the walkway. Union Private William G. Douglass became concerned about the congregation and ordered the men to disperse. The crowd immediately broke up, but Jones was hobbled by a bad foot and couldn't move fast enough. The private later stated that he issued three such orders to move along and that Jones did not comply for whatever reason. The inmates report that no such orders were issued. However, the end result was the same and Douglass's shot penetrated Jones chest and knocked him down the embankment. He would die two days later and Douglass would be exonerated of any charges.
For the most part, inmates attempted to use the flow of the river to make their escape by fashioning together flotation devices from such items as wood and canteens. Others would get their hands on Federal uniforms and attempt to simply board a boat to escape. Following the shooting of Jones, the fort officials started to crackdown on potential escape attempts and conducted various raids, confiscating canteens and any Federal clothing.
Officially, there were 52 escape attempts (involving multiple men) from Fort Delaware though the number is probably much, much higher. Once inmates reached the water, they faced the dangers of being discovered by patrol boats, drowning in the swift current, and even the presence of sharks in the water. It is unclear about how many men escaped from Fort Delaware and even less clear of how many of that number survived the three dangers listed. Union estimates place the successful escapees (those that did not return to the island) around 273, while Confederate estimates range from 500-1000. The escapes are now recreated yearly in the annual Escape from Fort Delaware Triathlon (see Fort Delaware Today below).
The Haunting
There are boundless tales of the supernatural and paranormal activity surrounding Fort Delaware to this day. The stories have even drawn the attention of the likes of
Ghost Hunters
, who have investigated the claims. Reports have included everything from cold spots to strange photographic anomalies, including transparent apparitions. The specters of Confederate troops have also allegedly been spotted under the ramparts and the parade grounds, possibly still trying to flee the prison camp to this day. Interestingly, the apparitions of women have also been reported inside the former officer's kitchen and other rooms inside the fort. However, the primary claims center around both Union and Confederate spirits throughout the former-camp. In a couple cases, there are theories as to the actual identities.
The Drummer Boy
Interestingly, one of the popular accounts of a ghost at Fort Delaware concerns the legend of a botched escape attempt of a 9-year old Confederate drummer boy. According to the stories, the boy decided his best chance of escape was to fake his own death and be transported across the river in a coffin. Either sympathetic Union troops or fellow inmates were in on his plan and agreed to free him when he reached the other side. However, a shift change swapped the personnel in charge of his burial and the boy was buried alive. While the story is rather sensational, it is only mentioned in books and Web sites dedicated to the ghost stories and does not appear to have any historical basis.
Brigadier General James Archer
James Jay Archer was a Confederate Brigadier General that was captured during the Battle of Gettysburg and transported to Fort Delaware, after a stay at Johnson's Island on
Lake Erie
. It was a policy of Brigadier General Schoepf that Confederate officers were given nicer quarters and more of a free reign of the prison camp, as long as they gave their word that they would not attempt to escape. Archer apparently agreed to these terms, but secretly hatched a plan for a prisoner uprising. Unfortunately for him, the plan was found out before it could be put into action and Archer was thrown into solitary confinement in the powder magazine that then served as a makeshift dungeon. Reportedly Archer was already very ill upon his capture and this was exasperated during his stay in the dank, dark cell.
Archer turned out to be among the fifty men chosen to serve as human shields in Charleston, only to find themselves freed in a prisoner exchange. He was ordered back into active duty, but the effects of his illness and imprisonment took their toll. He died only months later on October 24, 1864.
Though Archer had been freed from Fort Delaware, many insist that his spirit returned in death. According to some, a figure is seen moving around the former-powder magazine/dungeon that housed Brigadier General Archer many years before. Witnesses that have spotted the apparition have described him as a bearded man wearing a gray uniform, which is eerily similar to existing photographs of Archer. While there is no doubt that Archer was housed at Fort Delaware, there is contradicting evidence that suggests his "escape plan" was actually hatched and exposed during his time prior to Johnson's Island.
Private Stefano
Another tale concerns an Italian immigrant with the last name of Stefano that joined the Union army and served at Fort Delaware. As the story goes, Private Stefano was inside one of the buildings and slipped down the staircase and broke his neck. There have been various reports of the sound of footsteps descending the stairs and most attributed them to Private Stefano. However, details of the private are vague and a quick glance through historical records was unable to locate anyone with the name of Stefano being stationed at Fort Delaware.
Fort Delaware Today
Following the Civil War, Fort Delaware had been rendered obsolete by rifled naval artillery and soon many of the buildings were torn down and sold as scrap. Small improvements were made from time to time and the Fort did house some troops during World War II, but it was ultimately declared surplus property and sat unused. In 1947, ownership was transferred over to the State Parks Commission of Delaware and the Fort Delaware Society was formed to restore the old fort. Their hard work paid off and in 1951 it was established as a State Park - the first state park in Delaware.
Today, the fort is accessible by ferries that transport guests across the river from Delaware City. Guests can tour the history of the facility, which is highlighted by costumed actors that play out such roles as Ahl's Heavy Artillery Company and occasional Civil War recreations. During the second week of June, the park hosts the annual Escape from Fort Delaware Triathlon, where participants swim across the Delaware River to Delaware City, where they then bike for 25 more miles and wrap up with 6.25 mile run. The event began in 2000 and attracts nearly 400 athletes a year.
In the months of June through October, the State Park plays hosts to a series of candlelight ghost tours that take guests into the most haunted areas of the park, while recounting all the stories. Starting in 2008, Fort Delaware played host to several nights of "
Spirits of Fort Delaware: A Night of Haunted Tales
" in October, which mixes the fact with fiction for a terrifying Halloween experience. For more information on these and many more events, please visit the site below.

Interested. What age group will it be?
In 2111, the UN initiated a program to locate and train the best mecha pilots on Earth. They produced a virtual reality cockpit arcade game, that was mass produced and put in video arcades all over Europe and America where anyone could try their hand for a handful of quarters. The top performers are located and subjected to a further battery of physical, psychological and intellectual aptitude tests to determine their worth as soldiers and as pilots. The very best of the best are sent to the United Nations Mecha Corps Piloting Academy.
Everyone else goes to UNMC Reserve Academy.
"Welcome to your new home, maggots.
I'm here because I'm only second best, so I got stuck training you rejects. I need to look good. If you don't make me look good, you will be put out of sight until I can get the authorization to discharge you. If you don't understand, you better start hiding now, because that's all you're gonna do once we get started." ~~ Colonel Tripp
This is only a semi-serious RP, there will be gags and jokes and stupid adventures, all crammed into a mech piloting school. You will be playing the rejects and castoff from the UN's pilot training program. Basically, you scored high as a pilot, but were rejected from the primary program due to your scores on the physical, intellectual or psychological tests.
A few things that I know people are going to ask:
Mecha in this will come in a few different shapes. Something that should be noted is that the bigger the mecha, the more legs it needs to support itself. We will probably be dealing primarily with quadruped models.
Primary weapons will be long range, and any short range weapons will be things like plasma torches and cutters, no swords or any of that.
You will not have your own personal mech. When and if you get into a real life cockpit, it will be a government owned piece of weaponry, not your personal ride. All joyrides will be done strictly in the middle of the night without the knowledge of our superiors.
More info on the school and the machines will be forthcoming once I get some interest.
Interested. What age group will it be?
Made by the brilliant, Lillian Thorne
Military serving age. Eighteen and up, probably not any higher than thirty.
Great, I have a character in my head already.
Made by the brilliant, Lillian Thorne
I'll drop my interest here.
Glad to see some interest. Here's a bit more info about the world here. Feel free to point out anything that you think is unrealistic, or to add your own ideas. I'm open to suggestion.
Countries of interest:
America: Still one of the greatest military powers in the world, rivaled only by China(who's so secretive, it's difficult to tell for sure). In a characteristic bid for power, the United States has offered to host the UNMC Piloting Academy. They were the obvious choice, having all the military equipment and space needed for it.
Germany: Germany's excellent engineering give them one of the greatest tank and mecha based militaries in the world. They are a big customer of China, who has access to the raw materials that they need.
China: The Chinese government's attempts to lower their population have been quite successful. Unfortunately, this has led to fewer workers for their notorious sweatshops. Goods produced in China have raised in price, and are usually not considered worth buying, especially in America.
United Kingdom: A short civil war fifteen years ago between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland unified the two, losing some of the UK's land and causing an influx of immigrants who were still loyal to the Queen.
Republic of Ireland: The pound of Northern Ireland has been exchanged for the Euro with an unusually generous exchange rate, leaving the Northern Irish just a bit richer at the expense of the tax payers, and creating a certain amount of animosity between the North and the South.
North and South Korea don't exist anymore. We don't talk about that.
