Mel is Still Sorry
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Diane Sawyer scored big time by landing the first interview with Mel Gibson since his arrest and anti-Semitic remarks on one super drunk night. He's calling what he said back in July the "stupid rambling of a drunkard." He also said he has not had a drink in 65 days and it sounds like he is counting. Here's more:
"What I need to do to heal myself and to be assuring and allay the fears of others and to heal them if they had any heart wounds from something I may have said," Gibson says. "So, this is the last thing I want to be is that kind of monster."
More of Mel and his interview will be airing on Thursday, Oct. 12 and Friday, Oct. 13 on "Good Morning America." Sounds like someone is working on image control. Who will win, Mel or Tom?

puh-lease, alcohol is not a truth serum. if it was, then police would use it for criminals. i think he said some really nasty things, feels badly about it and is trying to make things better. i wish him luck on his road to recovery. alcoholism sucks.

I didn't see.....I think I heard about it. =)

toxxic, sounds like something i did my freshman year of college....i did it on a drunken dare. unluckily for me, the football team was JUST outside jogging around campus. they all got to see my goods. luckily, my shirt was covering my face.

For real yall! I stood on my balcony last new years and shook them around. Idk if anyone saw though. Boy I was wasted.

I don't think he's racist. First of all, nobody even knows if he truly said it. People have been criticizing Mel ever since he made The Passion. I knew accusations would come out sooner or later. Secondly, people say horrible, untrue things when they are alcoholics. Maybe you guys can't relate because you don't have a drinking problem. I don't, but have seen a good friend struggle with it.

Ive been drunk and showed off my tata's thats something that Id never do sober. For realz. ;)

i don't care how sorry he says he is now... someone who's not a racist doesn't start spitting out slurs even when they are drunk... anyone else agree? LizaToad Wed, 10/11/2006 - 7:10am ___________ EXACTLY. I think someone saying they did something they would never do SOLELY because they were drunk, is the lamest excuse possible and also mostly likely a lie. I honestly believe that the things people do and say when they are drinking are usually and indication of who they really are, as opposed to the socially acceptable persona they exude in public. It's not always the case, but pretty probable. That's where "truth serum" comes from....

Nobody blew nothing up Mel only said what he really feels!! Lets be honest how many people have been drunk and made racist comments?? UGH NOT ME! I think he spoke the truth if he didnt get caught no way would he be apologizing

I didn't know Kanye was so specific with those types of comments. I agree, I don't think it affected his career at all. I don't think Kanye thinks about his comments that carefully, he just spouts what he thinks at the time and lets it land where it lands. "Like MySpace, only more arrogant"

Because my Sweet Hive friends will understand better than anyone, I wanted to share an excerpt from a piece I recently wrote for chicagoREgen.com titled The Heartbreak of an Urban Beekeeper.
When the second warm day of the year arrived nearly a month after the first, our hive was morbidly silent. My husband and I crouched in front of our hive desperate for a sign of life. We thought we'd done everything right. We'd left several frames full of honey. We added a few sugar-filled frames as a precaution. We were bereft and completely mystified. How could our hive have survived the worst part of the winter, then perished in the final days as spring and its promise of pollen was in sight?
In the end, it wasn't enough. And I couldn't help but think that we weren't enough. We'd failed our bees just as I had feared we might since the day we brought them home.
…soon, we will start again with new bees in our hive. I remain an urban beekeeper.

[disinfo ed.'s note: this original essay was first published by disinformation on January 28, 2001. Some links may have changed.]
Author's note: This interview was originally published in 21.C magazine (4/1996, The Unafesto): 54-59. It was my entre to a covert and mysterious world.
Dr. Jack Sarfatti is one of the leaders of the New Physics movement. However, his research into E.S.P., time, future causality and his VALIS-type experience has provoked dissent in the mainstream physics community.
The Bohemian physicist . . . contributes a balanced scientific non-establishment for this expanding society. I don't mean to disparage the work, either . . . Originality has always required a fertile expanse of fumble and mistake . . . Your wastrel life might turn out to be just what's required to save the planet.
~ ~Herbert Gold, Bohemia: Where Art, Angst, Love and Strong Coffee Meet
Black holes, Alcubierre warp drives, traversable worm holes, and the quest for the Holy Grail of dark matter are outpacing the wildest SF fantasies in the public's imagination.… Read the rest

"Meendum Crazy Thieves" first on the list for re-launch
CHENNAI: `Crazy' Mohan may be busy working on Kamal Hassan's `Dasavatharam' after his success with producer V. Viswanathan's `Jery,' but his passion for the stage remains undiminished.
And so when he found the demand for newly released DVDs of some of his vintage plays riding a high, he decided to give the audience the original thing.
"I am re-launching some of my classic plays," he says. First on the list is "Meendum Crazy Thieves," which will be staged on September 1 at Narada Gana Sabha at 7 p.m. for Kartik Fine Arts.
The "Crazy" title stuck to R. Mohan after his company's first full-length play "Crazy Thieves in Palavakkam" became a hit.
In 1983, "Meendum Crazy Thieves" recorded 150 shows in less than six months.
With the wave of nostalgia sweeping audiences (witnessed in the tremendous reception to vintage films like "Nadodi Mannan") it was only to be expected that Mohan would be back with his best.
There is enough fun for those watching for the first time considering that it involves cross-cultural scenario and love cutting across religions.

been eliminated by overpumping. Because the ground water processes that affect ecosystems and base stream flow are not well understood, combined hydrologic/ecologic research should be pursued to clarify these connections and better define the extent to which changes in ground water quality or quantity contribute to changes in ecologic values.
Ground water management entities should consider appropriate policies such as pump taxes or quotas to ensure that cost of using the water now rather than later is accurately accounted for by competing pumpers.
Because ground water resources are finite, decision-makers should take a long-term view in all decisions regarding valuation and use of the resources.

Djokovic, Grieving and French Open
French Open starts in 5 weeks
"What are the stages of grief?
When people talk about the stages of grief, they most often are talking about the 5 stages of grief identified by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross...
...How long does grief last?
You'll probably start to feel better in 6 to 8 weeks."
Here we go....the official Djexcuse thread :lol:
Wow. This is really stupid.
OK guys seriously, excuse? The guy just lost his grandfather can we talk like human beings with a modicum of respect for a sportsman who has to grieve while in the public eye?
I honestly think with what has happened Novak will be more focused on a gold medal than the french.
He probably has regrets about not pulling out and going home for the funeral now. (I still don't know why he didin't) I mean the regular person takes off work for a death in the family and everyone understands.
Had he pulled out Rafa was going to get 8 MC wins anyway and people would have called it a hollow victory instead of a confidence boost over Nole.
Olympics is far enough away for Nole to get his head back on...The French might be too soon not to mention the pressure to win....He's not the player he was last year and I really think that was his best shot at the FO...but Fed always seems to have a little magic left when you least expect it.
LOL.....again I'm wondering if Djokovic will ever lose 'legitimately' in 2012. Historically, it won't matter anyway I guess. The record books will only show W and L.
ps: it's also saved in jpg format. i know you like to change your posts...
I hope he fully recovers in time for the FO. A win there after all this would be an emotional epic conclusion what he has done over the past season.
so apart from being a disgrace of a tennis fan and a shame to all the good Nadal fans you also contradict yourself in less than two posts!!!
Grief can last anywhere from one day to a decade. Tends to be shorter when it is an older loved one whose death comes not as a great surprise, and after some kind of ongoing deteriorating illness, as much of the "grief work" psychologically is then done actually before the death. Djokovic didn't get to the finals by being inconsolable.
OP has a tendency to start these brilliant threads. Will need time off to grieve when his thread is deleted.
I think its basically sometimes people get too focused on a sports or public figure as a source of entertainment, or alternatively as a "thing" to vilify, scorn or mock. The OP's mocking post is really in very poor taste.
It's like they have no respect or comprehension these are actually real people with real lives, events and emotions they have to deal with besides being in the public ultra-critical eye.
I was surprised by the score on one hand, but on the other not. Yet I knew, on tennis forums or comment-allowed sites you'd have threads like this: either trying to make excuses or dismiss the reality of losing an important figure in one's life and how it can affect how you perform in your profession.
Alternatively, you always have the troupe of Nadal fans doing making excuses for him when he loses. I miss the old days where the battles were on-court or between the players and not the self-identified "supporters" who really make it into a farce.

These engine guards look great on the bike and give me a real sense of security as a new rider. My husband and I installed them in about one hour. It would have been much quicker, but the instructions were somewhat confusing and were not totally accurate. But we put our heads together and did a great job together.

You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
The whole "dating thing" can be wonderful or a pain depending on how you look at it, like most aspects of life. I prefer to think of it this way: I've got an opportunity to meet new people... some of whom I will connect with intellectually, emotionally, and physically and want to see again (and maybe, ideally, again and again).
I try not to pre-judge where significance in my life will come from. I find I experience way more adventure that way. I hope you are also an explorer and feel the same way.
ABOUT ME: * Will make you blush and laugh (a lot) and never stop trying. * Very intentionally fully engaged in life. * Very curious about people, ideas, cultures, history, trends and not likely to find myself in a "boring" situation for long. * Love having humor in my daily life and people who appreciate the need for it. * Like to pursue and explore big ideas. * VERY purposely have sought to maintain a sense of wonder and awe about the world around me and I fight the temptation to be cynical. *
HONESTY ALERT: I'm not feverishly searching for my permanent life partner, but I would be damn pleased if I met her and I don't see anything wrong with being happy with wonderful people along the way. I've been married and divorced (2008) and I've been engaged once after that (and called it off in 2012). So I'm I guess I'm a bit more wary than I've been in the past, and I'm not so set on the way one is "supposed" to live. The fact is that I love being around super-intelligent, passionate women and spending time learning from and enjoying each other. If something more serious develops, great. A stimulating conversation over dinner or drinks with a kind person is a wonderful thing. I'm actually 50. I *WILL* make you laugh. And I know YOU're out there somewhere.

The 30-share BSE index, Sensex, which had closed on a positive on Friday as well, gained 56.76 points at 16,867.57 in the opening trade with stocks of IT, healthcare and FMCG sectors leading the rally. The BSE barometer had gained 21.07 points in the previous session on October 23.
The wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty also gained 19.05 points to trade higher at 5,016.10.
Stock brokers said pick up in buying by foreign funds, bolstered by the firm trend in other Asian markets, influenced the trading sentiments on the domestic bourses here.
Major gainers in the opening trade were Infosys Technologies up by 0.57 per cent to Rs 2,273.15, Wipro by 0.15 per cent to Rs 589.90, Tata Steel by 0.18 per cent to Rs 532, Tata Power by 1.19 per cent to Rs 1,478.50, HDFC Ltd by 1.52 per cent to Rs 2,762 and ITC Ltd by 1.29 per cent to Rs 263.20.

Sales of one of the book club selections would routinely hit the hundreds of thousands as the titles shot up a variety of best seller lists. "This is going to make a lot of people unhappy," said Sayre.
There will be unhappy people in the music industry too. According to Keith Caulfield, a senior chart manager at Billboard magazine, when the Black Eyed Peas performed on "The Oprah Winfrey Show's" season opener this year, its album sales jumped 29 percent. And when Whitney Houston gave a two-part interview to Oprah, her album sales shot up 77 percent.
And Oprah's Midas touch affected business both large and small.
Felix Doolittle, based in Newton, Mass., is a small stationery company. Co-owner Loren Sklar remembers the day the company heard that Oprah Winfrey had picked Felix Doolittle as her all-time favorite stationery. "When we were picked, it's hard to describe, you really do feel plucked out of the great masses and you have this light shine on you. It's something everyone in business dreams of," said Sklar.
Sklar said the imprimatur of an Oprah pick is unlike anything else, because Oprah's fans are so loyal.
Doolittle was first named to one of O magazine's gift lists more than a year ago. That selection translated immediately into sales and became a marketing tool the company could use on its Web site and Facebook page.

Que madrasos!
out cold!
Que madrasos!
Seriously, though…it was OBVIOUS Card was KTFO. Do you REALLY have to wail on the guy after? That's just bullshit. Have some class. What's the point in that and what are you proving? I hope someone keeps pulling a little longer after he taps to an armbar on this guy later in his career…just a little longer, nothing crazy…kinda like when BJ didn't let go of that choke on Pulver right away.
I do see what you are saying but with all of the adreline and all of the questionable referee calls, I could see why someone would keep going. In fact, many instructors teach you keep going until the ref stops it. That is the way I was taught. If we go back and look at the Scott Smith VS Pete Sell, Should have Pete stopped? Scott was badly hurt but as we saw, not done. So it is kind of a tough call, specially in real time.
Scott Smith and Pete Sell was an amazing fight.

People of Satara district in western Maharashtra, from where braveheart Tukaram Ombale hailed, have come up with a befitting memorial for him and other 26/11 martyrs, which would be unveiled tomorrow.
Justice P. B. Sawant, Special Public Prosecutor in 26/11 trial Ujjwal Nikam and family members of the martyrs would attend the unveiling ceremony, Chairman of the Kisan Veer Cooperative sugar Factory, Madan Bhosale, who has set up the memorial, told PTI here on Sunday.
The memorial, called Shaheed Smriti Udyan, comprises about 2,300 flower plants and also 18 large trees, one each for the 26/11 martyr, Mr. Bhosale said.
The memorial has a 28 feet long and 18-feet high fibre plate, erected on a 60 feet by 40 feet map of Maharashtra, The plate has carvings of martyrs' faces.
Of the 18 security personnel killed during Mumbai terror attacks, five were from Satara district. They included Ombale, Jaywant Dudhe-Patil, police sub-inspector Bapurao Durgude, Assistant Sub Inspector Balasaheb Bhosale and police constable Ambadas Pawar.

Swift talks Grammy joy; Beyonce top nominee
Taylor didn't know what to make of it.
Then he called and told her about her first nomination, song of the year, for her hit, "You Belong With Me." And then the screams started, and continued when the nominations kept coming in.
Besides album and song of the year, she was also nominated for record of the year for "You Belong With Me" and country album.
"To be recognized by the Grammys is the ultimate honor, and all I know is that when I write about this in my journal tonight it will be in all capital letters and underlined four times, and there will be lots of exclamation points in this entry because I never imagined I'd get to write this kind of journal entry," she gushed.
Swift may be in shock, but her nominations are not a big surprise to many: She was the year's best-selling artist outside of Michael Jackson, and her "Fearless" CD, released late last year, has sold more than 4.5 million copies. She is not just a country superstar, but a pop one as well.
Just last month, Swift won five American Music Awards, including artist of the year. She's also won top honors at the Academy of Country Music Awards, the Country Music Association Awards and won an MTV Video Music Award (which was infamously snatched away by Kanye West).
But Swift, who has been nominated for a Grammy before, says winning one would be her dream triumph: "The thought of that absolutely is something that you daydream about."
Swift was in Los Angeles to do a concert and to do some work on her upcoming movie "Valentine's Day"; she had an early call on the set Thursday morning.
When asked how she planned to celebrate her nominations, she said: "I'm just gonna call a bunch of people and tell them that I love them."
The Grammys will be presented on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles.

The expansion of smart-energy infrastructure will bring consumers and utilities alike a number of important benefits, but it will also create security risks where they previously did not exist. The introduction of two-way smart meters that not only transmit but also receive information will require new strategies for protecting against exploits, observers note. "A smart grid, by connecting the power industry to the Internet, opens the door for anyone who wants to mess with the power system in the U.S.," said Stephen Holditch, a professor at the Texas A&M Energy Engineering Institute.

College dorms are cesspools of germs and filth, so I spent a good part of my freshman year sick with colds and other illnesses of that ilk. One illness plagued me with a persistent cough that lasted for a few weeks. It was a disgusting and gross cough that made it difficult for both me and my roommate to sleep on weeknights, and on weekends when I should have been sleeping and resting to get better, I I'd remedy myself with alcohol.
One particular evening began with me and Dennis drinking in my room playing my Nintendo while "Drinking and Driving," a drinking game played to Mario Kart where each player is required to finish their drink before the race is over. We were drinking vodka and lemonade which had a hasty effect on me, so naturally I lost the game and my attention span very early on in the night. A few rounds of Rainbow Road later, Dennis had to leave to meet up with his brother who was in town. He made sure I was safe within the confines of my room playing my Nintendo before he left. I soon grew bored, so I wandered down to my friend Nate's room where he offered me some Carlo Rossi.
Walking back to my room with a water bottle filled with wine was tricky business; I was trying hard not to draw attention to myself but I was coughing like crazy. I entered my room and looked at my phone as I gulped my wine, glancing through myriad texts from friends asking me to come out or if I knew of any parties going on. I didn't want to walk far, so the most appealing option to my drunken ill self was to visit a guy named Jacob in the guys' dorm not too far from mine. I wasn't sure how he got my number, but my hazy judgement didn't hinder my decision to go hang out with him anyway. To be sure I wouldn't cough all over him, I downed almost half a bottle of NyQuil before leaving.
I don't know how long I was with Jacob, but the highly unsafe combination of NyQuil, vodka, and wine hit me not long after I arrived at his dorm. He wanted me to stay, but I was obstinate to his request and ran away, calling Dennis to come get me. Dennis arrived not long after and walked me to Rachelle's dorm room where she was hanging out with Bryce and Lexi. Rachelle had been sick too, so they were just hanging out in her room and were getting ready to go to bed. "I was just trying to suppress my cough!" I explained to the room as I stumbled through the door. They laughed and made me a bed on the floor where I passed out in record time and had the longest, deepest most unhealthy night's sleep I'd had in awhile.

A trap that's huge, about two or three feet across, with big zigzag teeth, and constantly trembles with tension, and snaps if you breathe on it funny--unless you're the intended target, who can [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner jump up and down on it safely]]. The standard mode of exit is always to chew your own leg off, no matter who or what you are. PalatePropping tactics may offer an effective defense if applied in time.
Depending on the genre, this can be either [[RuleOfFunny funny]] (especially as AmusingInjuries) or [[RuleOfScary horrifying]] when someone gets snared by it.
For horror movies, you can expect these in wooded areas, no doubt set and placed by some deranged killer.

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* In ''Anime/PsychoPass'', [[PsychoLesbian Ouryou Rikako]] gets her leg badly mangled by one of these when she flees to [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame Senguji Toyohisa's]] hideout.

* In ''Anime/YuriKumaArashi'', [[spoiler:Ginko is caught in a massive one that suspends her in the air when she goes after [[ManipulativeBastard Kaoru]]]].
* In issue #10 of ''[[Comicbook/{{Batgirl2011}} Batgirl]]'', Batgirl breaks up a group of car thieves working the parking garage of a high-class charity event, only to stop in horror when one of the fleeing thugs triggers a bear trap that nearly slices off his leg at the knee. People claiming to be security for the event explain that it has become a new part of gang warfare for one gang to follow another as they commit crimes and leave traps to capture them afterwards.
* In ''Comicbook/JudgeDredd'', Judge Fear slings around chains with bear traps on the ends.
* The ECComics Horror [=SuspenStory=] "Stumped!" has a trapper setting a bear-trap for a rival trapper and then leaving him there to die. The rival trapper takes his revenge after chewing his leg off.

* The "reverse bear trap" in ''Film/SawI'' and ''Film/SawVI'' is thematically similar, except that when it goes off it snaps violently ''open'', and as it is hooked into the victim's upper and lower jaws... In ''Film/Saw3D'' the audience finally sees the intended result, and it's ''brutal''.
* Bear traps are frequent props in ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' shorts, notably in "The Brideless Groom," where Moe and Larry try to use one to break up an all-female brawl. Naturally they're caught in their own trap.
* In ''Film/FridayThe13th2009'' reboot, Jason placed a bear trap or two around the forest. Definitely not played for cartoony laughs.
* ''Film/{{Severance}}'': Andy gets caught in one of these and loses his foot when his co-workers try to free him.
* In the climax of Disney's ''Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound'', when Amos Slade tries to flee [[BearsAreBadNews a bear he's pissed off]], he gets his foot caught in one of his own bear traps.

* In the 1930 ''[[Film/TheLittleRascals Our Gang]]'' episode "Bear Shooters", the kids try to trap a man in a gorilla suit [[note]]one of two moonshiners trying to scare the them off[[/note]] with one. It doesn't go well for him.

* Brenda of the 1984 vigilante film ''Savage Streets'' uses a set of these as one of her weapons against the street gang who brutalized her sister and murdered her friend.

* In ''Film/HotFuzz'', Nicholas Angel shoots a bear trap hanging from a wall to make it fall on a bad guy's head.
* In ''Film/TheGeneral'', Buster Keaton's character Johnnie and his girlfriend walk into one of these immediately after escaping from an actual bear. It takes several minutes to get themselves free.
* AmusingInjuries version in ''TheMouseThatRoared'' - PeterSellers' character Tully Bascomb, keeper of the tiny country's forest, is first seen trying to shoo off a puzzled-looking fox while his foot is caught in a fox-size trap.
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': Samuel Vimes has several bear traps hidden in the shrubberies around his house to keep assassins from sneaking through them. This is one of the many painful and/or humiliating reasons why nowadays the only assassins to sneak into his home are students sent there by their teachers to learn humility.
* In ''Literature/SeekerBears'': ''River Of Lost Bears'', Yakone gets caught in one. He escapes from it thanks to Kallik, Lusa, and Toklo, but since he was [[AgonyOfTheFeet caught by the foot]], he loses a few toes. Looks like he ain't getting them back anytime soon.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Often used as a {{Zonk}} on the current version of ''LetsMakeADeal''.
* Parodied in a ''KidsInTheHall'' sketch where the trappers targets are office workers. (One of the workers actually manages to escape, and is seen hopping away on his one good leg, so the trappers don't give chase.)

* ''Series/DocMartin'' goes out into the woods with the local ranger, trying to find PC Milo, brought low by a snake bite. The two stumble into a clearing ''loaded'' with animal traps set by poachers. Simultaneously played realistically ''and'' for comedy, as the two struggle to get one another out of what are in fact incredibly painful, but not lethal to humans, traps.
* ''Franchise/{{BIONICLE}}'': the promo animation for Hahli Inika had her running through a field of bear traps.
* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' have these as trap hazards, just to make creeping through dark, [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Ghoul-infested]] subway tunnels all the more memorable. They're great at crippling your legs, reducing your speed to a painful hobble, which is especially brutal on ''New Vegas''' Hardcore Mode since limbs are much harder to heal. And in the ''New Vegas'' expansion ''Dead Money'' you get to see what happens when the mooks decide to wear a bear trap on their knuckles: the [[PowerFist Bear Trap Fist]].
* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'': Leon encounters a wolf snared by a bear trap. The player can choose whether to free or ignore it. [[VideoGameCaringPotential Doing the former]] will result in the wolf helping you against [[GiantMook El Gigante]].
** There are also a number of bear-traps set in various areas waiting for you to step in them. Doing so causes you damage and also freezes you in place as Leon has to stop and pry it open. Naturally, they don't hurt enemies running towards you, and they can be avoided by either shooting them or getting close enough to hit them with your knife, which causes them to spring early.
* A lot of these in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. However, all the characters are apparently tough enough to be merely pinned to the spot for a few seconds by them.
** Justified for warriors and mages; metal or magical armour probably helps a lot. though how they manage with leather...
** You can also build your own if you have the appropriate skill and parts. Sadly, they're usually AwesomeButImpractical as you can't set them (or any other traps) if there's an enemy who can see you, but against some opponents who'll only turn hostile after you've triggered something specific, a few well-placed bear-traps will turn what would have been a tough encounter into a CurbStompBattle.
* Most Infinity Engine games (''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', ''VideoGame/IcewindDale'', etc.) had the mouse cursor turn into a bear trap icon when the player moused over a trap with the "Remove Traps" ability was on.
** Much the same for ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights''. Also, trap kits all use the "bear trap" model.
* ''AlanWake'' has lots of bear-traps scattered across the woods, apparently due to poachers. Walking into one will cost you a bit of health, and pin you to the ground for a while. Worse, EVERY TIME you walk into one, it will cause a Taken to spawn nearby and run up to attack you while you're helpless. Oh, and in one part with bear traps, you don't have any guns to fight the Taken that spawns if you step on a trap.
* In ''VideoGame/NaughtyBear'', bear-traps are - appropriately enough - one of your main weapons against the other {{bears|AreBadNews}}. You plant 'em on paths, and then walk up to kill or scare whatever bears get caught in them. And unlike the similarly-useful Mines, they can be reused!
* ''{{Limbo}}''
* ''QuestForGloryI'' has you find a [[TalkingAnimal talking Fox]] in one of these.
* Hunter traps in ''WorldOfWarcraft'' look like bear traps. Strangely, none of them actually does what you'd expect from a bear trap (root the target in place) unless the hunter spends talent points for it.
** They did intend a bear trap skill for ''cataclysm'' that would snare targets, but because snaring was all it does, they ultimately decided it wasn't worth it and swapped it out for other skills.
* ''VideoGame/NetHack'' has bear traps which merely pins down you (or a monster) until it gets pried open. You can also jump out, but this is not recommended. If you manage to disarm it you can set it up again at a different location.
* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth'': Mikiko Hayami carries one on her parka. It snaps shut during her breakdown.
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' has these as a minor trap hazard in dungeons. You can [[WreakingHavok move them about]] to set up your own traps as well.
* ''Questron II'' places these traps in the dungeon. They destroy armor, and you can't attempt to detect them if they are behind a door (causing them to hit without warning).
* In ''VideoGame/NoOneLivesForever 2'', you can place beartraps. They have the effect of holding enemies still whilst they struggle to free themselves, and whilst you line up the sights of your crossbow.
* ''VideoGame/LeadAndGold'' has this with the sniper class. She can lay them down to incapacitate enemies whilst she takes aim.
* ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'': present in Episode 2.
* ''AValleyWithoutWind'' has bear traps as a deployable item, which both damage and immobilizes enemies and is one of the most effective means of defeating certain foes. It also has [[MadeOfExplodium explosive beartraps]], which somehow manage to still immobilize for the same length of time despite instantly exploding on activation. Both types will only snap shut on enemies, ignoring yourself or any allies.
* In ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER 3}}'', Kumatora gets her leg caught in one of these (which kind of MakesSenseInContext considering that kuma means bear in Japanese.)
* In ''The Simpsons Wrestling'', Groundskeeper Willie can drop these as a special move. If you drop one on an opponent who's already knocked down, it will go off whenever they try to stand up -- this doesn't really help you win, as it doesn't reduce their health, but it will ''really'' [[{{Troll}} annoy your opponent]].
* In ''{{Skullgirls}}'', Peacock's suspiciously metallic, razor-toothed smile is due to her having a bear trap for a set of dentures. She puts them to good use in some of her attacks, where she spits them at her opponent.
* A few minor ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' enemies are robotic bear traps. [[PyroManiac Burner Man]] has a special attack that throws down three hidden bear traps to limit your mobility. They do no damage, but you have to wiggle the D-pad to escape if one catches you, and in the meantime Burner Man is probably pummeling you with powerful, hard-to-dodge attacks.
* The ''[[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]''[=/=]''WebComic/AxeCop'' crossover story "Stolen Pizza, Stolen Lives" has the eponymous heroes using '''pizza beartraps'''. As in, pizzas that snap shut like bear traps when their victims go to eat said pizza.

Monday MLB drug deal deadline as playoffs loom
Friday - 8/2/2013, 6:36pm EDT
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Pressure to get suspensions over with before the playoffs could force an end to negotiations in baseball's latest drug scandal.
Monday appears to be the deadline for Alex Rodriguez and 13 others to accept suspensions for their ties to the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. While A-Rod is expected to get a lengthy ban, a penalty starting that day would allow Texas All-Star outfielder Nelson Cruz to return for October.
Major League Baseball is prepared to issue two simultaneous announcements no later than Monday, a person familiar with the process told The Associated Press on Thursday. One would list players who accept suspensions; the other would name those disciplined without deals, but who could challenge penalties before an arbitrator.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.
Most players face 50-game suspensions for their links to the now-closed Florida clinic, which has been accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.
But baseball is threatening to kick Rodriguez out for life unless the three-time AL MVP agrees to a long ban, perhaps around 200 games.
Rodriguez appeared ready to talk Thursday as he was leaving the team's minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., waving a group of writers to his car in the parking lot and rolling down the window. However, when he saw a second group with TV cameras approaching, he said: "I'll talk to you guys, but no cameras."
Rodriguez closed the window and waited a moment, then left without saying another word.
Baseball's highest-paid player with a $28 million salary, Rodriguez played in a simulated game and saw 31 pitches over six at-bats, played third and ran bases.
The Yankees expect A-Rod to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, attempting to obstruct MLB's investigation, and not being truthful with MLB in the past. Baseball has considered suspending him for violations of its labor contract and drug agreement, which would cause him to start serving his penalty before the case would go to arbitration.
Sidelined following hip surgery in January and then a strained quadriceps, the 38-year-old third baseman hopes to return to the Yankees in a few days. He is to play Friday and Saturday at Double-A Trenton, putting himself in position to rejoin New York for Monday's series opener at the Chicago White Sox if he's not banned.
Barring a rainout this weekend, Cruz's Rangers would have exactly 50 games remaining before they play at the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. If he files a grievance, as a first offender, the penalty would be delayed until after a decision by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. But the lengthy legal process likely would risk his eligibility for the playoffs and the start of next season.
Cruz said Thursday he hadn't made any decision about a possible appeal. Asked whether he was told specifically what penalty could be forthcoming, Cruz responded, "No, I cannot tell you. Sorry."
Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta is the other targeted All-Star on a pennant contender, and the Tigers would have 53 games left before playing at Cleveland on Monday.
Another All-Star shortstop, San Diego's Everth Cabrera, could serve all of a 50-game suspension this year if he begins with the Padres' game against Baltimore on Tuesday.
Others facing discipline include injured Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and Seattle catcher Jesus Montero, who is in the minor leagues with Triple-A Tacoma.
The Miami Herald reported Thursday that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami had opened a criminal investigation into whether Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch illegally sold controlled substances to high school students. That probe has the potential to complicate baseball's disciplinary cases if Bosch's lawyers advise him not to participate in MLB grievance hearings, where the commissioner's office presumably would call him to testify and authenticate documents.

The LG Electronics launch of its Super Multi Blue Player at the 2007 International CES convention earlier this month in Las Vegas has signaled a potential end to the high-definition DVD format wars, according to ABI Research.
Universal format players like the new LG device, which accommodate both HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs, will become the norm, not the exception, according a report from ABI Research.
Universal players will dominate the market, said Steve Wilson, the firm's principal analyst of consumer electronics. Samsung is expected to release its own universal player soon, and others are expected to follow. ABI Research forecasts sales of 2.4 million such players in 2007, rising to 55 million in 2011.
While LG's player costs $1200, prices will not stay in the stratosphere, Wilson said. The build of material for such players will fall once integrated chipsets make it to market. Once universal player prices dip below $200, mass adoption will take off, he said.

The incredible food at the Café of Joy makes you want to return for more
The first thing that hits you is the heady, yeasty smell of warm bread. My eyes seek the source of the delectable fragrance and soon find it. Loaves of freshly-baked bread are nestled in wicker baskets and arranged on a shelf. This quaint touch coupled with the interesting bric-a-brac, white picket fence and the fresh white and lavender interiors gives the place an old-fashioned bucolic aura, reminiscent of a cosy little neighbourhood bakery in some faraway European village.
The Café of Joy, Whitefield is owned and run by Joy Basu, who holds a diploma in baking from the Akademie Deutsches Backerhandwerk, Germany. This management professional-turned-entrepreneur, who lived in Germany for several years, admits that her inspiration was indeed the small town artisanal bakeries of Europe.
Besides a variety of speciality breads, she also has on sale confectionary, beverages, salads, pastry and sandwiches. There is also a hot lunch option that varies from week to week, which is displayed on the glass board at he café.
A cup of steaming hot cappuccino arrives at my table. It is a cold, wet day and the strong, bitter brew is hugely welcome. I sip watching the rain lash against the large windows, leaving behind wet streaks on the glass panes.
I'm soon roused from my reverie as a basket of fresh bread arrives at the table. I take a bite of the date and walnut roll and am floored. The dates confer a subtle sweetness to the bread while the walnuts give it a nice crunch making this bread a clear winner. Next are some exceedingly healthy options—a rustic millet, a German rye roll and a multi-grain three-seeded bread—that manage to tread that fine line between health and taste perfectly. This is followed by a crusty baguette roll—slathered with a nice thick layer of butter, it simply is delicious.
I move to the mains starting with a nicely cooked, well-spiced beef goulash, which comes with a side of sesame sourdough bread. This is followed by a croque Monsieur also on sourdough. Ham and hot melted cheese, how can you go wrong with that?
Next is a chicken meatloaf with Bavarian potato salad. The warm, slightly salty meatloaf is delicious as is the potato salad and I wipe my plate clean with a piece of sourdough bread. There is also a mushroom and caramelised onion quiche — the flaky pastry and the creamy filling complementing each other perfectly.
I'm rather stuffed by now but how can you say no to pizza—especially a German version of it? The Flammkuchen, its thin crust pizza, topped with green pepper, onion marmalade and feta cheese, is delicious and I reach out for seconds without hesitating.
A mind-boggling array of dessert arrives. The first is the celebrated Sacher torte—a dense, rich chocolate cake, layered with apricot jam and dark chocolate icing. Decadent as sin, but oh-so-delicious. Then comes a fresh fruit tart—fresh cream and exotic fruit encased in a flaky pastry leaves you licking your fingers followed by a berry quark cheesecake and apple streusel tart. The cheesecake is much lighter than a regular Philly cheesecake and much less sweet—the tartness of fruit discernible through the layers of cheese. The streusel tart is rather less complicated but nevertheless melt-in-the mouth delicious.
Reeling from the sugar rush, I waddle home. But it really was worth it. The food, the ambience, the variety and the homey aura of the café made the visit there a joy indeed.

Amernet Quartet overcomes distractions at Mainly Mozart Festival
For its annual appearance at the Mainly Mozart Festival the Amernet Quartet presented "Landscapes," on Sunday, offering a pleasant afternoon of Mozart and Beethoven bisected by an exhilarating journey from Alaska to the South Pacific.
The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables provided its own landscape, the cozy Danielson Gallery with balconies on three sides, a dormant fireplace behind the makeshift stage, wood-beamed ceilings, and an unintended soundscape of ambient noise from the hotel pool. The latter provided occasional unwelcome distractions—late-18th century Mozart and 21st century pop definitely don't mix—but not enough to spoil a satisfying performance.
Visually, the Danielson Gallery is a perfect setting for chamber music–at least for strings. The playing of violinists Misha Vitenson, Marcia Littley, violist Michael Klotz and cellist Jason Calloway came across as deep and rich down low and clear but never metallic high up.
Mozart's String Quartet No. 17 in B-flat major, one of six quartets he dedicated to Joseph Haydn, was nicknamed "The Hunt" because of the supposed hunting-horn-like call of the opening bars. Although few people today would be familiar with a hunting call, the Amernet's propulsive performance put one in mind of a hunting party rushing through the forest, occasionally detoured or slowed but relentless in its unflagging pursuit.
There was nothing the Amernet members could do, unfortunately, when the passage for high strings at its conclusion was followed by a burst of screaming from the pool, spoiling the serenity that had been evoked by the musicians.
More than 40 years and a game-changing evolution in music separate 1784 Mozart from 1826 Beethoven, but that evolution is only occasionally evident in Beethoven's String Quartet No. 16, Op, 135. A lighter work than his other late quartets, Beethoven surely mines the emotions in his final completed work without approaching the angst of his Opus 131 string quartet, completed just months before. Rather, he portrays an optimism one wouldn't expect from a composer months away from death.
The Beethoven presented by the Amernet Quartet was aware of his mortality but not wallowing in sadness. With fine solo turns by the individual players, the overwhelming impression was of the Amernet's unity as an ensemble, with a performance impressive for clarity and technical expertise rather than exploring profound depths in the music.
Ernest Bloch's Paysages ("Landscapes") was the only detour from familiar musical terrain. This seven-minute suite in three movements was written in the 1920s and provided ample rewards. The Amernet's high-energy performance conveyed a harried Hitchcockian chase from cold, barren Alaska and across Bloch's native Switzerland, ending in the South Pacific where, amusingly, the landscape is expressed by a Jewish folk song with an urban edge.
Of course, Biltmore Pool was not one of the landscapes Bloch was trying to convey, but as the final bars of his Tonga faded away, the milieu came across. Loud and clear.

The family of Omar Francisco Garcia has been offered a $1.5 million settlement by the city of West Covina in the case of Omar Francisco Garcia, who died in 2008 after a confrontation with police that resulted in gunfire.
Santa Clarita attorney Greg Owen. of the SCV lawfirm Owen, Patterson, Owen represents three of Garcia's family members.
Garcia, 24, was shot and died on November 17, 2008 when he fought with police officers in a shopping center parking lot on Azusa Avenue in West Covina.

The California State University, Los Angeles student had told his mother that he was going to Target to apply for a job. The police, heavily concentrated in the area because of an earlier, but unrelated, car-to-car shooting earlier in the day, responded to a call from the store that Garcia was acting strangely.
After a scuffle with officers, Garcia grabbed an officer's baton and tried to use it as a weapon. Officers tried to use a Taser on Garcia, but the device malfunctioned.
They then fired at Garcia, striking him 15 times. He died at the scene.
The West Covina City Council approved the $1.5 million settlement the first week of September. The case remains open until the family accepts the offer. If it is not accepted within 30 days, the criminal proceedings will continue.

Let the court come to Napoles to hear her case – DILG
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines –If Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed.
The expression aptly describes a plan by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) of having the Makati Regional Trial court handling the case of Janet Lim-Napoles come to Fort Sto. Domingo in Sta. Rosa, Laguna instead of bringing her back every hearing.
Senate President Franklin Drilon said during a Senate finance committee hearing Monday on the 2014 budget of the DILG that it might be more secure and less expensive to have the court come to Fort Sto. Domingo every time Napoles' case is heard.
Drilon said that this was like when the court hears the cases of inmates in the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa.
"[Fort Sto Domingo] is 46 kilometers away from Makati, isn't it a valid security concern that you would bring Napoles [back and forth] each time she has a hearing?" Drilon asked.
Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II said that DILG was just complying with the order of the court for Napoles to be transferred to Laguna from the Makati City Jail.
He said they would study the actual costs and risks of transporting Napoles back and forth from Laguna to Makati.
"She has an arraignment set on September 9, that's when we can ascertain how hard it is or how expensive it is to transfer her and based on that, if [the court asks] us we can [make recommendations] because [of] how disruptive it is [to traffic]," Roxas said.
Roxas admitted the difficulties in transporting Napoles from her detention to court, saying that those who have malicious intentions can determine her location as there is only one route from Laguna to Makati, the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX).
"There really are considerations and difficulties in securing her in Sta. Rosa, but at least there are no problems with regards to other inmates that can harm her," Roxas told reporters in an ambush interview.
"These considerations will be given to the court and the court will decide," he said.

Madeline, Reissue of 1939 edition
Title: Madeline, Reissue of 1939 edition
Author: Ludwig Bemelmans Author And Illustrator
KDL Description:
Madeline, smallest and naughtiest of the twelve little charges of Miss Clavel, wakes up one night with an attack of appendicitis.
Amazon Description:
Poor Miss Clavel! In "an old house in Paris that was covered with vines," Miss Clavel oversees the education of 12 little girls, the littlest of whom is the mischievous Madeline. Despite her size, she fearlessly pooh-poohs the tiger in the zoo and frightens Miss Clavel with her adventurous antics. When she awakens the entire house with her plaintive cries in the middle of the night, Doctor Cohn whisks the appendicitis-stricken Madeline off to the hospital where, some two hours later, she awakens to find a scar on her stomach! The scar (not to mention the flowers, toys, and candy given to Madeline by her father) proves quite interesting to the rest of Miss Clavel's charges when they make a special trip to visit her. Ludwig Bemelmans's lilting rhymes are music to children's ears, and the quirky, oddly perfect drawings of the girls in "two straight lines" lend an enticing Parisian flavor to this perennial children's favorite. (Ages 3 to 8)

The Returned
November 23, 2013
In an idyllic French mountain town, a seemingly random collection of people find themselves in a state of confusion as they attempt to return to their homes. What they do not yet know is that they have been dead for several years, and no one is expecting them back. Read more »

Now he's better armed
Motion change helps UE hurler
Wanting to contribute and not wanting to wait to do it, the University of Evansville's Adam Culiver made a change to his pitching motion.
"The coaches just thought since (my arm angle) was already low and I'm a little guy in the first place, if I could just drop down a little more I could be more effective and have another look for the team because we didn't have anybody who threw side-armed," he said.
So he did — not that it was easy. But after getting his feet wet for the Aces as a freshman this past spring, the Castle High School graduate is putting the new look to even better use this summer: Culiver was named to the Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee (Kitty) summer baseball league All-Star team for his work thus far for the Tradewater Pirates of Dawson Springs, Ky.
Pitching in relief for the Kitty League-leading Pirates, Culiver is 5-1 with a 1.72 ERA that's tops in the league. The All-Star game is at 6 tonight at Apollo High School in Owensboro.
The results mask what was a difficult transition at first.
"Being consistent with it is the big thing," Culiver said. "When I started off I had a lot of walks and I could throw strikes every once in awhile, but over the past several weeks I've been able to get my mechanics down pretty well and able to throw strikes consistently."
The difference is night and day — or a touchdown in ERA. In 12 appearances for the Aces this past season, Culiver carried a 8.27 ERA. Now, not only is his ERA down more than six runs, but in 152/3 innings of work this summer he's allowed just 10 hits and struck out 20 to only four walks.
That had him canceling plans to come home to Newburgh over the Fourth of July weekend, not that he minded. Culiver is happy to be on the field after a back injury kept him from pitching much of his 2009 senior season at Castle.
"It's awesome," he said of being back healthy. "Last spring killed me. We had a good run to the state tournament and I just had to sit back and watch. So it's really nice to be back out there and able to play again."
Even if he's doing it with a new look to ensure he gets on the mound as much as possible.
"I was pretty open to it," Culiver said of the change. "I just wasn't contributing much early in the spring, so I figured I might as well do it to get some more time on the mound and help the team out.
"Right away whenever I changed the arm angle I struggled for a little bit with it, so it's just good to know that I'm doing the right thing by dropping down and that it's all going to work out. This is just the steppingstone and hopefully it will translate to the Valley and to U of E."
