CENTRALIA, Pa.— Forty years and $42 million later, the fire in an abandoned mine under this hard-coal hamlet still burns down below as doggedly as the 86-year-old mayor, Lemar Mervine, holds out here above, refusing to vacate the wasted landscape of a condemned ghost town.
''You bet I'm staying,'' says Mayor Mervine, an old miner who is nonchalant about state estimates that the fire probably has another 100 years to burn. He shrugs off warnings that poison gases and cave-ins remain a chronic risk to the 15 resident holdouts in a town that once housed 1,100.
''I was born here and I'm not leaving,'' says Mr. Mervine, a lean, sharp-eyed man patiently staring out from his front porch.
He mostly watches empty, weed-strewn sidewalks that have been cleared of 545 homes and stores since the fire broke into local notice in 1962, leaking upwards in occasional licks of smoke and low flame.
''All the gin mills are gone,'' the mayor fondly notes of the old days when coal was not quite so subversive toward hard-drinking miners.
At his side, Councilman John Comarnisky, a 42-year-old school teacher, watches a pair of motorcyclists pull off the main road and slowly poke and puzzle about the flattened streets that stretch down from the hillside cemetery.
''They're looking for the fire,'' Mr. Comarnisky observes with a cackle of laughter. ''It's nothing to see. You'd have to pour water on the rocks to make them steam to know it's down there.''
But it is there, relentlessly burning through a mammoth anthracite vein. The last time anyone estimated the cost of truly putting out the fire, 20 years ago, specialists said it would take at least $600 million.
Government officials opted for a wait-and-watch mode, spending $42 million thus far on relocating residents. Centralia is officially written off, but its government persists like the fire, refusing to die.
Outside the empty municipal building near the razed post office, Officer Kevin Collins, a part-time policeman replacing the old force of 11, conscientiously sweeps a sidewalk that ends at nothing much. The town's main street has been crime-free since a stretch of it suddenly buckled downward years ago.
''I don't get many calls,'' Officer Collins says. ''But one lady passing through stopped her car and shouted, 'I smell smoke!' I told her, 'Of course you do. This is Centralia.' ''
The town, whose hills are wispy with smoke and steam in cold, wet weather, epitomizes one of the costly legacies of coal mining. Forty-eight other abandoned mines smolder across this state, with hundreds more burning in other states.
Some are allowed to burn for decades below open country. But others, like the 30-year burn east of Pittsburgh under Boyce Park, are finally excavated as they impinge on suburban housing above.
Other nations have far larger problems. There are hundreds of mine fires, some burning for hundreds of years, in the coal fields of China and India. Fires can begin with spontaneous combustion. But others, like the one here, started from a garbage fire a generation ago before strict recycling laws saw to tighter policing of old mine shafts that served as local dumps.
''Centralia's a dangerous place to be,'' warns Steve Jones, who heads the State Department of Environmental Protection's mine hazards division. ''It's a multiveined, 450-acre fire with a burning potential of 3,000 acres and a history of people overcome by carbon monoxide gases in their homes. A few have slipped into holes as the ground subsides.''
Mayor Mervine and Councilman Comarnisky scoff at the warnings. Nobody has been seriously hurt, they say, staring out at the horizon of serene mountain greenery pocked with onion-dome church tops and dark riffs of mine slag.
''As long as we can form a government, the borough exists,'' Mr. Comarnisky says proudly of their singed sliver of home rule.
Both officials forgo their token salary of $20 a month. They run a $20,000 annual budget paid by the county that is used mainly to snow-plow idle streets and roads.
Mayor Mervine suspects the two of them are fighting a grand pork barrel project rooted in the state's traditional high-power coalition of coal and politics. Unlike many other mining communities, he explains, Centralia borough owns its mineral rights and has an ordinance forbidding mining within the town border where the mine smoke was first noticed 40 years ago.
''We're right on a mammoth vein, a whopper,'' the mayor says.
The councilman adds: ''Maybe 42 million tons at $100 a ton. But no mining as long as the borough exists.''
Mayor Mervine grins and nods, rounding out the holdouts' comforting theory: ''When we're all gone, well, that's when they'll put out the fire.''
Of course they cannot document such a scheme, the two concede. But as they sit in solitude on the porch, their conspiracy theory clearly strikes them as more palpable and comforting than the fire below.
''There are stayers and there are goers in life, and we are the stayers,'' Councilman Comarnisky says.
In staying, he delights in frustrating tourists who tirelessly search out a place whose only claim to notice is a fire that is not yet all consuming.
''One guy pulls up and says he has relatives in all the way from Denver and 'We need to see that fire!' '' Mr. Comarnisky mimics.
He leans back smiling on a clear, smoke-free summer day in the quiet comfort of Centralia.

Full moon = bad sleep?

DS (19mo) went to sleep at midnight tonight (Wednesday)! He's been going to sleep late ever since Sunday night (11pm, Mon: 11pm, Tues: 9.30pm) and has had trouble with his naps and I've just noticed the VERY bright full moon outside. Yes, I know that scientists haven't proven any link between the moon and sleep/behaviour, but in the absence of any other obvious reasons for DS's sleep issues, I've decided to blame it on the moon!
So, has anyone else's child had problems sleeping this week in the lead up to the full moon? #7Posted 29 November 2012 - 04:40 AM
I was just coming in here to vent about it!!! 2y/o DS, who co-sleeps with us, woke up at 1-bloody-AM and has only just fallen asleep. So for 4 hours, DH and I were floating in and out of sleep trying to get him to lie still and close his eyes. 4 friggin' long hours.
At least he has only woken up 7m/o DD once. Or maybe it was me when I yelled "Stop kicking me and close your eyes!". Pretty sure at some point I mentioned that I was going to kill him too. And now the sun is up, DH is happily snoring away and I am wide awake ... and DD is starting to stir in her cot... What a great start to the day. #11Posted 29 November 2012 - 09:22 AM
I haven't noticed it affecting my kids' sleep, but it definitely does affect me. Every so often the full moon drives me nuts - fortunately it's not every month. My GP is adamant that the full moon affects people (she says she sees a lot more people with mental health issues and just generally people feeling unwell but not knowing why around that time) and that isn't just a myth, so I'm going with that.
#12Posted 29 November 2012 - 09:30 AM
Don't have kids, but my grandfather is currently in a dementia unit in the nursing home & I know the staff there have often commented that on the night of a full moon, the residents are more restless.
I've had a week of interupted sleep as well, so blaming the moon sounds good to me! #19 Guest_divineM_*Posted 29 November 2012 - 10:19 AM
when i was staying at a mother baby unit last year, after one particular night the night staff were complaining what a bad night they had with all the babies waking constatntly. then they said "full moon". I thought they were joking but they said no, they always are super busy settling all the babies on full moon nights!

I agree that the care & detail in this article is reflected in the restaurant. I also like the respect that comes through - for the subject of cooking, for the interviewees, for good food. I've noticed this place has actually gotten better recently. The war/fighting analogy was unappetizing, however.

Even in foamys rants you manage to whore Germaine.
Okay, there's a mild improvement maybe, no wait, there isn't to be honest. :\
Look buddy, I don't hate you but you seriously are losing a lot of appeal because of what you've been putting in your recent movies, I was considering voting a 2 before I saw what Germaine was reading...
Everytime you use horrible sexual jokes like that the quality of these animations bomb, you have got to stop doing this if you want even a glimpse of the A+ Scores and portal awards you've been getting in the past, the actually get them though you'd have to seriously improve somethings, like the animation in itself, it's always the same trace bitmap backgrounds and shit.
And then the rants in themselves, EXPAND MAN, you've done this tons of times now and it's gotten stale, let me example Homestarrunner, they frequently experiment with their styles of layout and animation, and even with hundreds of their "SBemails" they've managed to make it very successful, they even have their own fan-wiki!
Now the actual animation is difficult to review, it's more or less the same as all the past things so what am I supposed to say? At this point, myself and most of NG's frequent users will be repeating themselves.
If you want to build up any more success, stop doing the same thing over and over again, otherwise only first time viewers will enjoy your flash.

Another rant :|
And a rant about restaurants. Well, I've not had much problems with the restuarants. Maybe their own birthday songs will be annoying, but I learn not to bitch about it. The only problem I really have with restaurants is waiting quite a long time, but eventually, I will get the food that I want. Also, the voice, damn, I wish it wasn't a high pitch voice since it's not always easy to know what Foamy is saying. :(

Eventually people are going to stop coming back if every week all they hear is "I don't like public places and I'm a complete shit-faced dick head about it boo boo boo."
Give your characters some depth and consistency. I noticed a call back to the first Foamy's Rant. That's nice, but it's not enough. Foamy shouldn't be defined as "a squirrel that talks and is an asshole," but that's where he's at as far as character developement.
There's no spirit. He conforms to whatever the situation calls for him to. If you're writing on a whim, think about where you trying to take Foamy, and if it doesn't suit him, use another character. Pillze and Bagelly both have well-defined personality traits. They're very shallow, but you've spent some time developing and characterizing them. That's a nice direction to take. Foamy is all over the place, though. He needs something to tie him down and make him more than a thinly veiled mouth peice. He's the center of the entire series, but he's got no soul.
You can't think "what do I need my character to do?" You have to think "what would this character do in this situation?"
Let your character drive your narrative, and you won't be limited to merely reaching into the depths social commentary.
Your animation needs work. What does the back of Foamy's head look like? Does he have a snout? How round is his head? Where do his body and head connect?
You have some drag for in-betweens on the hands, but it's a deformed mess, and it's very distracting to the conscious eye. His hands seem to become a mass recalling white noise for a fraction of a second, then reform in another pose a frame later.
Take some pride in your work. Put some thought into this.
You're selling t-shirts for a character with no motivation or consistency. It hurts your integrity.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
give me a fucking break
so you get ice cubes and warm tea together, when in reality, you want cold tea with ice cubes in it.
Listen very carefully...
you put the Ice cubes IN THE TEA and wait.
And if you don't want a birthday song or whatever, don't mention it to them. You could even ask the waiter or waitress not to bring up the song. They're paid to be attentive, courteous and speedy with your food, and all you do is nitpick about things that no sane person would have a problem dealing with at all.
And the idea to pay according to how satisfied you are is a horrible idea, because then everyone will be as critical and nitpicky as you and run the restaurant out of buisness. Maybe if you lived somewhere like germany where the tip is included in the bill, you'd have something to complain about, but here the tip is optional and it encourages those who work ALL DAY FOR YOU to do a good job and make sure you're happy. Foamy first says a little disclaimer of his own at how much he enjoys eating out and whatever, and although that's fair, it seems to weaken his argument considering it's the second disclaimer in the flash so far. I think you just mentioned that some restaurants are great and whatever because your argument is so petty that it doesn't even apply to the majority of dining experiences anyone has had. And even the annoying minority, these things that irritate you, NOBODY CARES ABOUT. Normal people can laugh things off. You just need to find something to nitpick about so you can continue this crappy flash series.
Oh...the movie? Same old foamy, so the scores are as follows.

3 Trades to Profit From This Selloff
While luxury good have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the recent upticks in consumer spending, that also means that they stand to suffer the most in the face of another economic contraction. For that reason, it's no surprise that investors tend to be more anxious about stocks such as Luxottica Group (LUX - Get Report), the Milan-based purveyor of sunglasses and high-end prescription eyewear frames. Now, though, a technical setup stands to shake out some bulls.
Shares of Luxottica have been trading in a narrowing, uptrending channel, a setup known as a rising wedge in technical parlance. Despite this pattern's somewhat bullish appearance (it's in an uptrend, after all), this is actually a bearish setup that suggests a downside breakout is in store.
The statistics bear out just how consequential this setup actually is. Backtesting shows that this pattern leads to downside breaks approximately 90% of the time.
To trade the bearish signal, however, it's crucial to wait for the break below the lower trend line. Wedges can continue to rise for some time, so to ensure the highest low-risk price at entry, shares need to actually make a confirmed break below the wedge. When shares do eventually fail, consider a stop loss around the 50-day moving average. Luxottica showed up on a recent list of the top-yielding specialty retail stocks.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Average Ticket Price In Winnipeg Is $82
by Paul on 06/01/11 at 08:30 AM ET
Comments (3)
from the CP a The Hockey News,
Fans of Winnipeg's new NHL franchise are being asked to pay a higher price for tickets on average than all but one existing Canadian team.
True North Sports and Entertainment will open a pre-sale on season packages at 2 p.m. ET Wednesday. Ticket-holders and corporate partners of the American Hockey League's Manitoba Moose will be given the first chance to buy seats before they're opened to the general public on Saturday.
Seats at the MTS Centre will be priced over seven different tiers at an average of $82—the same price Montreal Canadiens fans paid last year at the Bell Centre and behind only the Toronto Maple Leafs ($114 average) in Canada, according to the most recent franchise valuations by Forbes.
The new Winnipeg owners are hoping to get commitments for 13,000 season seats before the NHL board of governors meet June 21 to vote on the sale of the team.
Filed in: NHL Teams, Winnipeg Jets, | KK Hockey | Permalink
I wonder if Phoenix is expected to have 13,000 season ticket holders before a new owner takes over (eventually).
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 06/01/11 at 08:36 AM ET
That's standard fare now for expansion/relocation. I believe there had to be a commitment from OKC before the Sonics moved there. I know for the MLS and Philly, there had to be a pledge of a certain number of "franchise founders" before the team was awarded.
Posted by phillyd from Southern New Jersey on 06/01/11 at 08:41 AM ET
Duh. Demand is high. They can.

Comment: Viewing Launches (Score 3, Interesting) 20
I was in Florida to speak at Orlando Hamcation and went to see the DISCOVR launch at Kennedy Space Center. I paid $50 to be at LC-39 for the launch, an observation tower made from a disused gantry on the Nasa Causeway between the pads and the Vehicle Assembly Building. A crawler was parked next door! A hot sandwich buffet, chips, and sodas were served. It was cold and windy! I watched for a few hours and unfortunately the launch scrubbed due to high stratospheric winds.
The next day, Delaware North Corporation, which operates tourism at KSC, decided not to open LC-39 or the Saturn 5 center for the launch. This was the third launch attempt and I guess they decided most people had left. I was annoyed.
The closest beach was going to be closed in the evening, it's a sensitive ecological area. I ended up seeing the launch from Jetty Park. This turned out not to be such a great location, the tower wasn't visible at all and the first 10 seconds of the rocket in flight were obscured before we saw it over a hill.
What's a better viewing location?

And what these brainiacs fail to tell you, after the "We can't do anything until Obama is history" is that once it passes, and fails, that Single Payer will fill the vacuum left by ObamaCare and will be worse than ObamaCare could have ever been - Obama and his progressive party has said as much, time and time agein. Senator Reid has said it numerous times recently.
So sure, let's just shut up and wait - because then it will be stuck, just like Social Security (broke) amd Medicare (also broke). So yeah, you became a RINO overnight Senator, and you're going to have to accept that just like you want us to accept ObamaCare.

In response to:
Aaaaand THIS is why I stopped donating to UNC, as has my wife and most of my friends. (All UNC-CH alumni). It was a liberal enclave for decades, and has now become a liberal cesspool. Yes, the basketball tix were hard to give up at first, but idiotic and highly leftist-biased decisions like this continue to mount and make my decision to cut them off look better and better by the day.

Dear Riot, there is a saying that goes:" Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy." so today i'm gonna wound you a-little. I know you have been doing a great work setting up this game and going into WCG, it's a fantastic milestone consider there are so many competition out there. But one thing for sure that gamers who see the distinctive different between blizzard and Riot.. Is your inability to make the server stable. it's okay to have issue here and there once in a while. fixes and patches.. but to make it such a frequent issue (shutting down server every now and then) is not making good point to your record. Just take a look at blizzard battle-net. it's stable and constant. where as your server, it's always having problem with traffic and bugs or downs... not to mention, lag issue. Sometime i just don't understand that.. as a gamer the most basic thing you want from a multiplayer game is no lag or always down issue.. cuz it kills ur interest in that game.. i'm sure you wouldn't want ppl to brand riot as an incompetent gaming company that can't solve there basic server issue. your sincerely. P.S I love your game but nt the lag and always downtime server

B) If you look at the highest ilvl available in Tier 14 we were at 516 from one boss and 509 from the rest. In Tier 15 we're at 541 as the highest ilvl which is a 25/31 ilvl difference so we can expect the highest ilvl to be around 566-572 if it increases at the same rate.
OT: I'm on 6 after 4 weeks of being on the quest, worst drop rate, ever.
Spark - Enhancement Shaman - Lomaprieta - Balance Druid
I still think we should be able to get a second shot at the drop from normal/heroic in addition to LFR :/

Thanks Shyama for making this AWESOME Signature, I love it!
I guess i'm a bit lucky then - finished the quest yesterday after 4 weeks
Gotten one... gonna be till next expansion before I finish this quest.. LOL.
zeeeeeeero sofar 2 weeks with quest =[
Well tbh why should it be faster ? >< those cloaks well be wearing probably till 6.0 >< dont really see a point in rushing obtaining it ...
faster is not what people are moaning about.
Its the fact that the drop rate is so low, like ridiculously low that it is mathmatically possible to never receive 12 by the time SoO hits, never mind 5.3.
Some people have had 3-4 weeks worth of raiding and gotten 0 stones. That is ridiculous and really unacceptable.
On the otherhand, some people completed it in 4 weeks.
RNG is a bitch, its the reason for every ingame complaint since the start of gaming time!
And ? realisticly - even when SoO lands which gear droping from it will be 600 itlv ? even if u compare jump of 26 itlv like it was between 5.0 and 5.2 ull have what normal gear on 548 ? even if it was 52 itlv normal gear would be on 574 and cloak is what 600 itlv ? unless i missed something ><
2-1-0-4-4 so far, 11/12 stones. Been very happy about these past 2 weeks. No Ra-Den kills.
Edit: Updated. Was another 4 stone week.

Hideki Okajima (岡島 秀樹 Okajima Hideki , born December 25, 1975 in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto) is a Japanese professional baseball pitcher who plays for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league. He played with the Boston Red Sox from 2007-2011, and was elected to the 2007 Major League Baseball All-Star Game as a first time All-Star via the Monster All-Star Final Vote.[1]
Contents |
Okajima attended Higashiyama High School and pitched in the 1994 Koshien National High School Tournament.[2] He was drafted in the third round in 1993 by the Yomiuri Giants of the Nippon Professional Baseball League. Okajima pitched mostly as a setup man, but sometimes played the role of a starter until 1999. When he played with the Giants in Japan, Okajima chose to go by the nickname "Okaji" instead of "Hideki" because there was Hideki Matsui, who preceded him on the Giants.[3] Okajima's entrance song with the Giants was the Dixie Chicks' version of The Supremes' hit, "You Can't Hurry Love."[4]
Okajima became the team's closer in 2000–2001, before returning to his setup role in 2002. He was traded to the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters right before the start of the 2006 season for two position players, and was a valuable lefty setup man for the team, pitching in 55 games, with a 2.14 ERA. The Fighters won the championship that year. In Japan, Okajima had a career record of 34–32 with a 3.36 ERA.[5]
Okajima became a free agent in 2006, and signed a two-year, $2,500,000 deal with the Boston Red Sox.[6] The deal included a $1.75m club option for a third year. During spring training in 2007, Okajima was asked what he felt about being relatively anonymous while his teammate and countryman Daisuke Matsuzaka's every move was scrutinized. Okajima stated, "I'm willing to be a hero in the dark."[7]
Okajima allowed a home run to John Buck on his very first pitch in the major leagues.[8] It was the 7th time in MLB history a pitcher gave up a home run on his first pitch.[9] However, Okajima then proceeded to hold opponents scoreless for nearly two months until the Yankees scored a run off of him via a fielder's choice on May 22.[10] At the start of the 2007 Red Sox season, injuries and poor performances limited the effectiveness of anticipated setup relievers Mike Timlin and Joel Piñeiro. Okajima stepped into the role of primary setup man for closer Jonathan Papelbon and quickly became one of the most dominant relievers in the major leagues. Through the first two months of the season, Okajima cemented himself as the top setup man in the Red Sox bullpen, garnering the American League Rookie of the Month for April.[11] Okajima's scoreless streak from April to May 2007 was the longest by a Red Sox left-hander since Bruce Hurst 20 years prior.[12]
Okajima earned his first MLB save on April 20, 2007 against the New York Yankees.[13] After getting a save in his first appearance during a Red Sox–Yankees series, Okajima compared the experience to winning the pennant.[14]
For all of his early success, Okajima remained relatively anonymous in his forays around Boston. While Okajima was taking a cab ride with his wife to a local restaurant, his cab driver gushed about the amazing performance of the Red Sox's newly acquired lefty without knowing that the reliever was in the cab with him.[15]
In Japan, Okajima was even known as a gloomy man.[16] However, Okajima has revealed more of his humorous side in the United States. Okajima faced the heart of the Detroit Tigers order for the second time in one day to earn his second major league save. When Japanese reporters asked him about facing the same three batters in both games of the doubleheader, he answered with a smile, "I did?"[17]
Okajima made the All-Star team as the winner of the final vote but did not play in the game; he is the third Red Sox player to make the team this way.[18]
Following the All-Star break, Okajima continued to pitch solid and reliable relief innings, occasionally closing games for the Sox as they held their place at the top of the AL East. However, the rigors of the MLB season began to catch up with Okajima in the later stages of the season and he began to struggle, culminating into a career-high four-run meltdown in a game against the Yankees on September 14, 2007. Red Sox management decided to shut him down following this outing to allow Okajima to relieve the physical and mental fatigue of the longer American season.[19] On his return during the final stages of the regular season, Okajima regained his sharp early season form, pitching scoreless frames to establish himself again as an integral part of the dominant Red Sox bullpen as they headed into the post-season.
He was selected to the 2007 Topps Major League Rookie All-Star Team. The selection was the result of the 49th annual Topps balloting of Major League managers.[20]
Okajima returned with his performance in Game 2 of the World Series against the Colorado Rockies, in which he pitched 2⅓ perfect innings in relief of Curt Schilling, striking out four at Fenway Park. He became the first Japanese born pitcher to play in the World Series.[21] He closed the 2007 post-season with a home run to Garrett Atkins.[22]
Okajima won the opening game in the MLB Japan Opening Series 2008.[23]
On December 3, he was non-tendered by the Red Sox, making him a free agent. However, both parties agreed on a one year deal on January 2.[24]
Okajima did not make the 2011 Opening Day roster, starting the season in Triple-A Pawtucket. On April 18, he was called up to the Red Sox.
On May 20, 2011 Okajima was designated for assignment.[25] On May 24, 2011, Okajima cleared waivers, and he accepted his assignment to the Red Sox's AAA affiliate, the Pawtucket Red Sox.[26]
The New York Yankees signed Okajima to a minor league contract on December 28, 2011. He also received an invitation to spring training. However, Okajima failed his physical at the beginning of spring training, resulting in his release.[27]
He agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks on February 26, 2012.
Okajima has a distinctive pitching form in which he turns his head downwards just before he releases the ball, and after release jerks it hard towards third base. These extra movements appear to give Okajima some added velocity to his pitches as it torques his body towards homeplate, and reportedly disguises his pitches and causes batters to swing early. Okajima is said to have mimicked his pitching form after a pitcher in Yoichi Takahashi's manga Ace! who torqued his head so much after every pitch that it always caused his hat to come flying off.[28] Okajima admits, "I was trying to copy the motion. I believed it would make me throw harder."[29]
A part of Japanese people dubbed this pitching form "Looking the Other Way", after a local version of the rock-paper-scissors game.[30] Initially, in Japan, numerous coaches such as Tsuneo Horiuchi attempted to change Okajima's pitching form throughout his baseball career.[31] This all stopped, however, when pitching coach Yoshitaka Katori of the Yomiuri Giants admitted his pitch.[32] In the past, Okajima was prone to bouts of wildness—even being booed in his home park for his poor control.[33] After 2005 season, Okajima was traded to the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters and then he changed his pitching form so that he re-established good control.[34]
Okajima's pitches are of a lower velocity than average for most pitchers, forcing him to develop a more consistent release point to better control his pitches. Okajima's fastball is usually in the 85-89 mph range, rarely ever reaching 90 mph. His out pitch in Japan was his sharp rainbow curveball in the 70-75 mph range, which left-handed hitters find hard to hit. He also occasionally throws a Circle changeup, a forkball in the 80-84 mph range and changeup usually 82-84 mph.
After joining the Red Sox, Okajima has displayed such pinpoint accuracy that Hideki Matsui, former teammate, of the New York Yankees was amazed that since his time with Okajima in Japan, he never believed Okajima could gain such "great control".[35] Okajima's success in the major leagues against multiple batters was a departure from his time in Japan, where he was known as a situational lefty brought in to face one left-handed batter in key late-game situations.[4]
During an April 15 rainout in 2007, Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell tweaked Okajima's changeup delivery. The result was a changeup with screwball motion dubbed the "Okie-Dokie" by bullpen coach Gary Tuck.[33] As of May 10, 2007, the Okie-Dokie has been thrown for strikes 79% of the time with hitters swinging through the pitch 14 out of 30 times.[33]
Detroit Tigers slugger Gary Sheffield declared Okajima "one of the most impressive lefties I've ever seen" with "stuff I have never seen before from anybody."[17] Former Yankees manager Joe Torre called Okajima "unhittable".[36]
Okajima calls Masumi Kuwata his "master".[37] Okajima's wife is sports announcer Yuka Kurihara (栗原 由佳 Kurihara Yuka ),[38] with whom he has a son and a daughter.[39] He met his wife during a champagne/beer celebration after his Yomiuri Giants won the 2000 Japan Series.
Okajima's favorite films are romances including Ghost, Pretty Woman, and Autumn in New York.[40]
Okajima ran the Honolulu Marathon on December 14, 2008, completing the run with a time of 6:10:26 (gun time).[41]

This is the best product for soothing and calming your skin after a workout. It helps to relax you and cools your skin. The scent is uplifting but not overpowering and the scrub is good quality. Not an everyday product for me but a nice treat here and there. Another good item from LATHER.

There is a differenceSubmitted by anne (not verified) on Tue, 04/24/2012 - 9:28am.
There is a difference between a legal right and a moral right. This dad is going to do what is morally right and have his son plead guilty for something he did. How refreshing!!!!!!!!! People need to see this as an example of a parent taking a stand and making their child be responsible for their decisions - that is what we need more of today. Thank you Mr. Ingram! »

the son of Sheila skunk and Paul the porcupine
Bruiser was a unique creature, born with half a mind
the son of Sheila skunk and Paul the porcupine.
With stinky dispositions and shortsighted hearts of their own
they expected he'd learn no different and prepared him for the blows
"If ever someone's down," they said, "Roll in for the prick."
They filled his trifling head with hatred and rhetoric.
"You can't ever trust anyone, so turn your misery into fun
make believe it's clever to leave your stink on everyone.
Bruiser met Amy butterfly beneath a park bench.
She fluttered hopelessly in the dust. He reveled in her pinch.
"Help me, please," she cried. "I think I broke my wing,
hauling worms for birds all day, they've had a dreadful spring."
Bruiser stamped a foot, flipped his tail, and sprayed with all his worth.
"You're asking me, you crazy bug? I was privileged by birth."
Strutting a wide circle, he mocked her while she cried.
"Should've made wiser choices, let those squawking birds die.
You ain't mine to keep," he said, lining up for the kill.
"Plan ahead next time." He poked her with a quill.
Amy caught her breath, and rolled slowly to the side.
Finally, she gasped and cried.
"One thing I will not choose, is to be like you next time."
