(KMOV) – A man accused of robbing a bank in Clayton was found dead days later in a St. Louis hotel.
Authorities said Joseph Medearis entered the Fifth Third Bank on the 8200 block of Maryland Avenue just before 2 p.m. on July 29 and demanded money from the teller.
After the teller turned over an undisclosed amount of money, Meadearis fled the bank.
Police identified Meadearis using surveillance photos and he was later pointed out by witnesses in a photo line-up.
But authorities said he was found dead inside a St. Louis hotel on July 30. The medical examiner had not yet determined the cause of death.
Meadearis was convicted for robbing the Commerce Bank near the intersection of Clayton and Demun. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for that crime.

Angie even reportedly has a dress picked out! Vote for the bride you think will say 'I do' first!
Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie's long-running feud is about to go bridal. According to a new report from OK! magazine, Angelina is dead-set on marrying Brad Pitt before Jen gets a chance to walk down the aisle with current squeeze Justin Theroux! "[Angelina] loves Brad deeply and wants to cement their bond," a source tells the mag. "But a lot of people suspect that this wedding has a lot to do with her need to be on top."
"Angie may be one of the most gorgeous women in the world, but but she still has very fragile self-esteem and lots of issues," the source continues.
Now, before you tell us we're crazy and just trying to keep this feud alive, here's what a source close to Angie tells the mag:
"It's not a subject Angelina likes to talk about, but the truth is she and Jen still hate each other."
But regardless of who ends up marrying first, the source says both brides will likely opt for small, elegent weddings. The nuptials may be swarming with A-listers — Courteney Cox and Sheryl Crow are a few people expected at Jen's wedding, while Angie will invite stars like Matt Damon and George Clooney – but the remaining details are expected to be very low-key.

What I find interesting is the fued between the two teams. I'm sure both these women have moved on. I'm sure Jennifer does not want to still be called a "victim" just as Angelina does not want to be called a "home-wrecker." None of us really know what happened. But what we DO know, is that we are pitting two women against each other while Brad gets off scott free. The idea that Jolie "stole" him… he has no opinion for himself? He didn't go of his own free choice? You mean to say, he had no say in the matter of being with her whatsoever and has no free will? Please. And as for Jennifer… the idea of her sitting there wallowing in self pity – I'm sure she has moved on and would like to forget it all but these stupid magazines won't let her and paint her as some poor sob story. How insulting for both these women when at the end of the day, Brad made the decision to leave. But bros before hoes, right? F**king shameful.

Jen is close friends with a ton of hollywood families like the stillers, jackmans and sandlers to name a few. And SO many celebs apeak well of her because they KNOW her. WHO will attend Jolie's wedding besides BRAD'S friends? That self-mutilating child-obsessed LONER has NO friends lol. Oh and Kim… George has also spoken well of Jen too
Posted at 2:31 PM on September 14, 2011
Poor Guest If it helps you sleep at night….George has often spoke about admiring Angie and her work with UN you can google his interview on Extra where he says Angie not only talks the talk but walks the walk regarding her humanitarian work. OK had the same cover when Jen was dating Vince and Mayer racing to the altar.BTW I see Justin is riding his bike in NY so I guess Jen's mom is fine.
Posted at 9:14 PM on September 14, 2011
Of course George has to think of something polite to say when put on the spot by reporters. After all, Brad is still his friend.
But if you have been friends with a couple who has been happily married for years and then another woman suddenly gets in the middle of that, you likely aren't ever going to respect the mistress. No matter how much "humanitarian" work she does to ease her guilt.
Angie is clearly a deeply troubled woman. Anyone who repeatedly goes after married or taken men suffers from low self-esteem. And I'm sure, in the back of her mind, she knows that it's possible that Brad will leave her for someone new (just like he did to Jen).
And she also knows that she deserves it.

Poor Kim123, George wouldn't say bad things about Angie because everyone knows George and Brad are good friends.
Angie's additional job is for her own sake, not for anyone else. The purpose she got many kids is to tie Brad up. Whatever she did is for her own needs and make her look good.
Posted at 2:04 PM on September 14, 2011
I spent about five minutes trying to come up with a way to say how ridiculous this article was but I couldn't.
So I think I'll just settle for pointing out the "writer" spelled elegant wrong. It's not "ELEGENT". It's "Elegant."
Constantly improving the credibility of HL, arentcha? ;)
Posted at 12:55 PM on September 14, 2011
When the devil are you absurd people with your absurd fueling of a nonexistent feud going to stop? And to even give credence to another rag like OK boggles the mind. Did you notice the recent issue of that non-informed, trash magazine? They reported that Angelina had cold feet about marriage so there wouldn't be one. And why anyone of you believe that there is "hate" between the two women or Angelina has fragile self-esteem or there's some kind of competition, would be met with amazement by either or all parties. The only hate (and misinformation) that prevails is of the writer and the posters who read them. Six years have gone by with not one of your predictions, observations or protestations being accurate or based in fact. How about an attempt at reality rather than rely on your lying eyes.

YOU need to get your head out of you ass. Angie has not said Aniston's name in almost 7 years. I really doubt Brad or Angie spend any time talking or thinking about Aniston. And if you are a fan of Jenny then stop making her look like a fool. 7 years.. Brad left.. Jenny has had many relationships. If this is still an issue for her then you are pointing your finger at the wrong "crazy person"
And When exactly have any of you seen George with Jennifer.. Seriously. you Jen fans need to move on and stop with all the dumb comment.
Jennifer has a new guy. Why even mention Brad/Angie who are still together.
Lets meet back 7 years and see if the same can be said of Jennifer and Justin.
but I get it.. without mentioning Brad or Angie a Jennifer getting married story is not that interesting.. well for her so called fans that is.
Posted at 11:49 AM on September 14, 2011
Utter garbage. But if anything, Clooney would be attending Jen's wedding before he would Jolie's. He can't stand her, and has never hung out with her and Pitt since they got together. He was friends with Jen long before she met Pitt having filmed ER on the soundstage next to Friends on the Warner lot in LA.

Another excellent update from VJ. Hesta is developing into an important character in her own right and possibly a crucial one in giving Remus legitimacy in the East and able to keep the homes fires quiet whilst Remus restores the Western Empire.
It's back!!!! Hopefully we can expect some regular updates now??

June August 493
The riderless horse galloped through the earthen gates with a solemn swing into the main courtyard, drawing with it the silent stares of the garrison. It was a grim reckoning of their fate, the last horse returning without the messenger. It meant that the west road was blocked and the Bulgars had truly surrounded the fort. The smoke and stench permeated the entire earthwork, reeking of corpses, disease, and suffering. This miserable-looking horse only added to the grim scene. The lost hope so compounded the soldiers that the officers themselves were lethargic in their urgings, barely trying to rustle the men back on to the walls, readying for the next assault. An air of futility seemed to sap the confidence from their very bones. After a three day siege, there was little energy left in them to hold on.
Iohannes exhaled a deep breath, holding back the urge to rage in frustration, letting the tension slowly ebb. He made a show of adjusting the folds of his mail shirt, trying to appear calm and unconcerned as he approached the horse, flanked by one of his hypèretès. Around him, the somber quiet was at last being replaced by a return to order, the detachment slowly whipped back into fighting trim. If it was their lot to perish, then they would do so fighting. After a long siege, however, they were surely reaching the limits of exhaustion. Provisions were dangerously low and steady attrition had worn down the forts limitanei to the breaking point. Hiding his emotions, Iohannes placed a hand just above the horses nose and then slowly glided along the flank, whispering quietly. He could make out a horrible gash where a Kutigur spear had struck and knew the horse would not linger much longer.
The general had been wrong, he now knew, trying to push back the increasing weight of hopelessness. The recurring thrum of the Kutigur war drums only reinforced the imminence of his own death. How he wished for a clean end, fighting honorably in melee, for he knew how prisoners were often treated, particularly those who had resisted so well. Much anger would be vented on his men and it was a pity that so little of their bravery would be remembered in the Great City. Vitalian would care little of the loss of one of his detachments, only the loss to his dignitas. It was Drobeta, not Vinimacium, he wanted to rail at the commander. The Bulgars were crossing here, where the Danuvian bend gave them easy access into western Moesia. Just as he had warned. Who would listen to a mere Epimelètès?
Now the war cries started, sudden and screeching, and he looked to the top of the wooden walls, watching the men scrambling up the earthen supports, ready for one last struggle. He could feel the vibrations from deep within the earth, picturing the thousands of Bulgars swarming around the insolent little fort. They had crossed in huge numbers and even after three days of hard fighting, Iohannes knew they had been but a pinprick on the giants flank, a tiny bandon against the raging horde. He wished Vitalian good fortune when his army met the main body of barbarians, somewhere to the south and east. As for his own fate
The first ladders appeared above the north wall, and now the engagement truly began, the Bulgars favoring a close melee to ranged combat. There were no formalities now, no pause to pin down the defenders. It was down to numbers and a hard assault. They scented doom and wished to press their advantage. Each Roman soldier, well equipped with their leather tunics and spatha, fought valiantly to hold each breach, succumbing to numbers each in their turn. Once lodged on the north well, the enemy spread along the battlement, driving the defenders from each position until at last, there was only Iohannes and a knot of soldiers huddled in the open courtyard.
Screaming, the last of the defenders fell from the north wall, a gash in his right side. Directly behind him was his killer, a ferocious burly warrior dressed in hides and leather, who landed stiffly on the ground and brandished his long-handled axe high into the air, trumpeting his battle cry. His mates followed him and began advancing on Iohannes remaining soldiers with a mad howl. How sad, he thought idly, as he brought his sword up for defense, that one saw such violence in the approaching end, in the violent contortions of the barbarian faces, in their expressions of hate and loathing. A violent death never bodes well. With a sickening crack, his sword met the axe of the nearest attacker and he felt a searing pain travel down his right arm. From behind, he felt a heavy thud on his head and knew no more.
* * *
The Kutigur raids across the Danuvius in 493 did not represent a migration of the Bulgars; rather a major incursion into lands that were Roman de jure, yet tribal de facto. Moesia, the province bordering this river to the south, had been largely occupied by the Ostrogoth tribe for the last century. Tribal expansion to the west had reduced the barbarian population of this region yet King Theodorics failure in Italia had kept the province from being completely emptied. It also complicated the Empires defense in the Balkans. The static fortifications along the Danuvius had been largely reduced during Attilas campaigns and had not been rebuilt, leaving weak garrisons to hold an array of ruins along the frontier. An increasing lack of cooperation with the Ostrogoths, ignited when the Emperor had held back from war with the West, hampered logistics and led to a greater reliance on unreliable auxiliaries. Those limitanei garrisons that remained were stretched thin, ill-equipped to hold back a major invasion.
The Ostrogoths, nominally the first line of defense, had been battered during their Italian campaign, and what little military force they retained was huddled around Theodorics new capital at Sirmium, struggling to maintain a claim to Pannonia and nearby territories seized from the Western Empire. It also allowed him to keep his distance from an Empire of whom he was growing suspicious.
For the Empire, the main Roman army, led by Julian the Magister Militum per Thracias, was primarily in Anatolia, putting down the last vestiges of the Isaurian Revolt. A sizable detachment in the Balkans, under the young Vitalian, had drifted northwest towards the Danuvius and reports of a large horde of Kutigur Bulgars. This large tribe, who occupied lands stretching from Dacia into the northeast, were attacking auxiliaries all along that part of the river. Blithely ignoring the formalities of an Ostrogoth Moesia, now virtually devoid of Gothic forces, Vitalinus established himself in Moesia Superior, not far downriver from the junction of the Danuvius and the Savus, and beyond that, Sirmium. It was whispered that Vitalian was to keep as much an eye on Theodoric as he was Djurash Masgut and the Kutigurs. Another inference was that Vitalian was setting up a Roman anvil which, once reinforced by Julians main army, would provide the blocking force to a hammer blow from Italia by the Wests legendary general, Remus Macrinus. These plans were quickly ruined, however, when the Kutigurs openly crossed the Danuvius.
There were three probes actually, though the two eastern raids, at Utus and particularly Durostorum, were small in size, perhaps five to ten thousand in numbers, primarily mounted warriors. It is possible that these incursions were designed to scout imperial defenses and distract defenders. While these would raid far and wide into Moesia Inferior, it was primarily the Ostrogoth inhabitants who suffered, save the loss of a few garrisons of limitanei.
The main blow, under Djurash Masgut himself, was reported as including almost fifty thousand some say thirty to forty - warriors, infantry and cavalry, descendants of the vast Hunnic hordes that had held sway across Europe mere decades before. The heart of this force was light cavalry, ideal for the Bulgar tactics of feints and ambushes. Armed with the dangerous composite recurve bow, they were formidable on the field of battle, pouncing on and then eluding foes with experienced ease. With their houms kyupe, molded leather armor, they had speed and good protection. Combined with Kutigur heavy cavalry and infantry, they could hold their own against veteran foes.
By the summer of 493, Vitalian had established himself at Vinimacium, acting on information from Hunnic scouts. The settlement was also one of the best crossing points along that portion of the river. If the Bulgars did cross here, his force, which approached ten thousand comitatensii, could give a good account of itself, even if a fighting retreat was called for. It would be necessary to strike the tribal army as it crossed to provide the maximum blow. And from reports from many local commanders, the crossing appeared imminent.
Bulgar cavalry struck Roman detachments all along the river, confusing the general as to where and when the precise blow would land. In an attempt to discern more information about his enemys intentions, Vitalinus sent out Hunnic auxiliaries to probe the lands north of the river. Most of these, however, were quickly swallowed up and some, such as those at the ruined fort at Drobeta, deserted outright. It was these deserters that would unhinge the Roman defense. Demonstrating with a portion of his cavalry across from Vinimacium, Djurash Masgut descended on Drobeta in August and, under cover of darkness, began crossing the river near where it made a reverse bend to the south and west. From here, his army easily overcame the tiny Roman forts and began to advance inland.
Vitalian, perhaps unwilling to believe how woefully lacking was his intelligence, delayed two days before withdrawing from Vinimacium. By then, this was out of necessity, as new information poured into his camp that the Bulgars were not the only army with which he now had to contend.
Ahh an excellent combination of drama and military tension as always ! Given me a bit of inspiration too XD

"And the dream would grow ever grander and more wonderful, and the higher it reached towards the impossible, the more beguiling it became."--Emile Zola
At long last!
Short, but sweet and glorious.
Laziness is the summit of Intelligence. Intelligence, an advanced form of Laziness
Great to have you back posting Mett.
I must say this update turned the story in a new direction and into a new battlefield, but it was just a great as the others have been. I sense that the Empire will have many troubles in these areas ahead, and I think that Remus will need to send more forces to the area if he is to defeat all these barbarians. Also the fact that this young, new commander is lacking intelligence and that a second enemy is approaching doesnt sounds very well.
Still I am sure whatever happens it will be great to read about, so I am already waiting for the next update

Boer War AAR: Joes War- a Boer War AAR
The Gothic forces could be all that preserves the scattered Army of Thrace. The Kutigur Bulgars are across the Danube in force and the military towns haven't the population or defenses after the Huns rode over them a generation earlier.
The Bulgars are a new threat indeed. I think East and West must collaborate to defeat them. However both Empires are surrounded by trouble, in East the inner tensions never seem to end, while they have Barbarians and Persians on their borders, while west really has to watch out for the frankish-allemanni conflict as well as the bulgars.
Truely interesting, a new foe where west and east must meet. And indeed, very nice to see a new update
I foresee the Ostrogoths dieing in the exchange, though it remains to be seen who their new ruler will be: Rome, Constantinople or the Bulgar tribes?

Overall Best WW player is Avernite with 7 wins overall (Dec 2006-sometime 2007)
jonti-h:No-one's perfect
General Jac: Except Avernite , that's why I kill him every game
Jopi: I'll vote Avernite. He's a hard player to read, and therefore always dangerous.
Avernite: Avernite is a very mean person because he always comes up with great ideas
