BCS mess brewing
'Horns out of reach of BCS title game, for now
All the Texas Longhorns fans you know probably had a bounce in their step the past couple days, and with good reason.
Oklahoma proved not to be so big and bad after all. Mack Brown showed he had guts. And, turns out, the State Fair's famous corny dogs taste even better after a victory.
Basically, since Saturday, it's been a burnt orange world for Longhorns fans.
But here's a thought that will sicken their stomachs quicker than one of those fried Snickers from the State Fair: Texas could keep winning and still not have a shot at the national championship.
Don't blame this one on Mack Brown though; take it out on the convoluted BCS system.
The season's first BCS poll will be unveiled Monday, and it looks like it will roll out with USC at No. 1 and - Longhorns, cover your eyes - Virginia Tech at No. 2.
Texas and Florida State would follow closely behind at Nos. 3 and 4, staring a disappointing trip to the Fiesta Bowl dead in the eye.
Hey, don't shoot the messenger, and don't blame any of us media types. The media actually has Texas as a solid No. 2 behind USC. In fact, all the human polls - Associated Press, ESPN and Harris - have the Longhorns over the Hokies.
But the AP begged out of the BCS formula, which leaves ESPN, Harris and the darned computers with equal one-third shares.
So far, every computer poll included in the BCS formula has Virginia Tech ahead of Texas. Something called the Colley Matrix - run by an astrophysicist from Princeton, no that's not a joke - has Texas ranked No. 8 in the country. That's one spot behind Oregon. We only wish that were a joke.
Whatever happened to the good old days when computers were nothing more than props used to start cinematic thermonuclear wars?
But before your burnt orange underwear gets twisted in knots, take a deep breath. It's barely October. Plenty could happen between here and the Rose Bowl. There are still nine undefeated teams, and most of those will be saddled with a loss before everything's said and done, helping Texas leap some of the pretenders in the silly computer polls.
A loss by either USC or Virginia Tech somewhere along the way would almost assuredly punch Texas' ticket to Pasadena, assuming of course, the Longhorns don't stub their toe against the likes of Colorado, Texas Tech or Texas A&M.
USC has to go to Notre Dame this week. The Trojans also play UCLA and at Cal. Virginia Tech still has roadblocks in its way, including Miami - although that game will be played in raucous Blacksburg, Va. - and Florida State.
That doesn't even take into account what happens if Alabama, Georgia or Penn State also stay unbeaten.
So, yes, it's early, but if you're into Doomsday scenarios, it's all laid out for you: the Longhorns have their first undefeated regular season since 1983, yet they play the role of last year's Auburn team and is stuck in the cold.
Oh well, they don't sell corny dogs at the Rose Bowl anyway.

Update: The government has officially denied the report is true for whatever that is worth.
More evidence is accumulating that the Boston Bombing was entirely preventable. Despite spending more money since 9/11 on Homeland Security than was spent on the New Deal, the same problems that helped caused 9/11 still exist, namely, intelligence agencies dropping the ball after being given explicit actionable intelligence. And now we find out that not only had the Russian government warned U.S. intelligence services about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, so had the Saudis.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sent a written warning about accused Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2012, long before pressure-cooker blasts killed three and injured hundreds, according to a senior Saudi government official with direct knowledge of the document.
The Saudi warning, the official told MailOnline, was separate from the multiple red flags raised by Russian intelligence in 2011, and was based on human intelligence developed independently in Yemen.
Citing security concerns, the Saudi government also denied an entry visa to the elder Tsarnaev brother in December 2011,when he hoped to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, the source said. Tsarnaev's plans to visit Saudi Arabia have not been previously disclosed.
Denying a Muslim a pilgrimage to Mecca is no small thing but the warning from the Saudis allegedly went further.
The Saudis' warning to the U.S. government was also shared with the British government. 'It was very specific' and warned that 'something was going to happen in a major U.S. city,' the Saudi official said during an extensive interview.
It 'did name Tamerlan specifically,' he added. The 'government-to-government' letter, which he said was sent to the Department of Homeland Security at the highest level, did not name Boston or suggest a date for his planned attack.
I guess no one told the Saudis that DHS isn't actually about stopping terrorism, it's for spying on law abiding Americans. Maybe if Tamerlan was protesting the bank bailouts.
But what are we to make of all this? Since 9/11 more money has gone into building this anti-terrorism apparatus than went into the New Deal and it proved completely useless in stopping the Boston Bombing. This after the bomber was on the terrorist watch list and was warned about by not one but two foreign governments. Meanwhile, the U.S. government demands more and more information on its lawful citizens in the name of anti-terrorism. Is this all really about stopping terrorism?

Fourth-grader's determination inspires others
Amanda Lowrance
Role models are found in sports on a daily basis, but how many of them are only nine years old? Sydni Aylor of Hornsby is playing softball with a prosthetic leg and has continued to dedicate and spend her time learning the sport she loves so much, despite the obstacles she has to overcome.
In March 2007, a day that began with fun and laughter, quickly reversed after terrifying shrieks and panic. That playful, outdoor afternoon, four-year-old Sydni lost her leg in a lawn mower accident.
She was airlifted to LeBonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, where the Aylors made a nine-day stay. After three unsuccessful surgeries, the nerves and tendons in her foot were permanently damaged. Doctors amputated her leg just below the knee and used her calf muscle to help cover and protect the end of her leg bone to give more comfort and support for an upcoming prosthetic.
"All of my family plays sports," said Sydni, "so it's in my blood. My favorite sport is softball. I enjoy playing and being with my friends. My nurse from LeBonheur, Regina Goulder played in high school and when I was in the hospital she talked about playing."
Only a year after the life-altering accident and her full recovery, she picked up her bat and glove and has not turned back since.
"'No' is not in her vocabulary," said mother Jennifer Aylor. "She is good all-around and overall. I think it's because she does not let anything bad in. She gives 110 percent and she would be the one to talk another player out of feeling discouraged."
Five years later, she is running, laughing, competing in sports, and doing the things any other 9-year-old would be doing. Nothing slows down this soon-to-be fourth grader.
If she thinks she can do it, she gives it a try. Many children feel discouraged after the first failed attempt, but not Aylor. Her sights are limitless.
"She told us the other night she wanted to be the kicker for the high school football team when she got older," said her mother. "She wanted to climb a rock wall and she did. We don't discourage her from doing anything."
At first the Aylors had to carry their daughter until she became more comfortable with her prosthetic leg. Just like all other kids, her energy and curiosity took the wheel and her parents were completely supportive in everything she did.
"We don't hold her back," said father, Paul Aylor. "If she wants to try it, we let her try it."
This year she is competing on two separate teams. Aylor's father has coached her for more than three years and is currently coaching her 7 and 8-year-old All-Star league team out of Bolivar, Tenn., plus Sydni has recently joined a 9 and 10-year-old McNairy County travel ball team, called the Selmer Crush.
Throughout her softball career, she has become well-known and has met new people. Her story can now be an inspiration to the locals of McNairy County.
The first baseman looks back on her softball past thus far and recalls, "My favorite memory was when I made All-Stars as a six-year-old, and my best memory was when I hit my first home run when I was seven."
Sydni admires Babe Ruth, not only because he played for her favorite team, the New York Yankees, but because he made history.
Former Yankee and MLB pitcher, Jim Abbott's story runs parallel to Aylor's. Abbott was born without his right hand, but overcame his disability to play collegiately and professionally, and later became a motivational speaker.
"The thing about a disability is, it's forever,'' Abbott, a left-handed pitcher who would make a throw and quickly slide his glove from his nub arm to his working hand for a catch, once wrote. "And forever might not end, but it has to start somewhere.''
Technology has advanced since Abbott's time and Aylor has more options available, especially after reaching her growth peak.
"She doesn't have any movement in her ankle," said Ms. Aylor, "but that will come with time. There will be better technology. It will be where she can get an ankle that will twist. By the time she is 16, there is no telling what all they will have."
There have been some twists and turns along the way, enduring physical therapy to regain strength and motion in her leg, but Sydni does not allow the disability to affect her determination or outlook on life.
"As we watch her grow and prosper, we are reminded of how precious a child's life and health is to a parent," her father said.
Many look at her situation and find pity, but what you will find, especially when you get to know her, is inspiration. There is nothing she cannot do.

Ward should should either weight drain himself and fight @160 which won't happen so the next logical move is light heavyweight. He should fight tavoris cloud or cleverly for one of the titles or even unify the titles. If ward could become a multy weight champ he will solidify his ace as one the best pound 4 pound if not the best.Posted September 11, 2012 11:58 am
Decent list. But I'd like to see Froch move up in weight before he's in my top 10…Martinez should be above him in my eyes. Froch lost to Ward (the best at 168) and Martinez has dominated 160lbs.Posted September 11, 2012 11:54 am
Off subject, for a second here's my P4P list.
I previously stated Martinez was a top 10 P4P fighter but I just didn't see what he did head to head as far as comp goes that was better than anyone I placed over him.Posted September 11, 2012 9:22 am

Off Subject: What's going on in WBC president Jose Suliman's head? I've heard he wants both WBC/WBA 140LB champion Danny Garcia & 168LB kingpin Andre Ward to decide whether to relinquish the WBC or WBA title's. Okay Ca$h is ca$h, but this is blatenly taking the piss out of both the boxers & the fans. As a fan all I want is a 100% #1 unified champion. The word is that Suliman's worried that Martinez is gonna KO J.C.Chavez JR & is looking for the WBC title to become vacant @ 168LB title so he can contest it against some patsy to keep him in the WBC's bed. Over the years the WBC have been well known for this behaviour, back in the day's of just the WBA & WBC the title split when the UK's Ken Buchanan, John H.Stracey & John Conteh became World champion's & we all know about the Larry Holmes fiasco when the fledgling IBF was formed. It's high time the WBC,WBA,IBF + the WBO sat down & broke bread together & gave the general public what they want. "1 Champ @ 1 weight"!…………….Posted September 11, 2012 3:55 am

China Check: Tracy Porter Vivre
Last summer, Hyacinth gave me a few pieces of this dinnerware by Tracy Porter. The pattern is "Vivre." I just love it.
I love this particular tray, It's long and skinny and brown and floral and wonderful. I do believe that's a Dahlia!
The tray has four small bowls that fit on the tray in a neat little line.
And just like all the people in this beautiful world in which we all live…each bowl is individual. Special. Different.
I love drawing parallels between the human race and the bowls in my cabinet.
Makes me feel better about my unbridled addiction to china.
Tracy Porter can be found at any number of online stores. I think Hyacinth found these at Horchow.
But I should warn you: Tracy Porter stuff is dangerous. I don't even really let myself look because about a year ago I pricked both my index fingers and became blood sisters with myself. Then we promised each other we wouldn't buy another piece of dinnerware until our youngest went to college.
But then I found these three plates on sale somewhere. And I forgot the promise I made my blood sister.
I have a serious china problem.

Serendipity! I was just looking today for some fun cereal bowls to get my mom for her birthday. I couldn't find anything, saw these, and now they are on the way to Austin. (Free shipping tip helped tremendously, thanks!)
She'll be able to eat her cereal and think of me
Thanks Ree
PW Fan On Friday, June 19 at 9:53 pm
They are gorgeous! I can see how that could become a problem. Just like a potato chip, you can't have just one!
lauri On Friday, June 19 at 10:03 pm
Add flatware into that fetish and that is where it becomes outta control!!!
Nancy On Friday, June 19 at 10:06 pm
We have a couple of Horchow outlets here in the Dallas area. I don't EVEN let my self go window shopping there.
Sylvia Sayers On Friday, June 19 at 10:20 pm
My kids say dishes are my cigerettes. They are my addiction.
Toni On Friday, June 19 at 10:27 pm
I am in love.
Sandy On Friday, June 19 at 10:32 pm
Hey Ree, I just went to the Tracy Porter website through your link and got a couple of great buys. Plus, I watched a few of the videos and it was kind of fun. Thanks for turning me on to something new!
Rebecca On Friday, June 19 at 10:33 pm
Ree, I spend most of my day between your site and Tracy's – she has a blog too!
I was so excited to see her bowls here, and so glad you guys "know" each other!!
honey On Friday, June 19 at 10:34 pm
so stinkin pretty!
Asian Aisle On Friday, June 19 at 10:40 pm
These are lovely. I have a weakness for pretty bowls and plates, too.
Claire On Friday, June 19 at 11:04 pm
These are beautiful! I'm bad about buying one dish of something just because it will look good in pictures!
Lisette On Friday, June 19 at 11:36 pm
Oh but they're lovely….
Tasha On Friday, June 19 at 11:46 pm
Those are really beautiful.
Rebecca On Friday, June 19 at 11:52 pm
Incidentally, Tracy Porter also designs killer clothing, shoes and bags.
Oh yeah.
I will not be shopping anywhere else. Ever again.
(and no, I don't work for her! I'm just so glad to find a collection with flair, panache and hipness that doesn't make me look ridiculous…)
Also, check out the videos she does on cooking, decorating, fashion…the woman's got style!
Ruth Ann On Saturday, June 20 at 12:04 am
Love it! I'm a dish freak in hiding. Since moving to God's country, I've had to cool my jets on purchasing things and STORING dishes. When is the give away?!
christy On Saturday, June 20 at 12:17 am
CHINA ADDICTION……my husband is not allowed to see this posting because he swears I have one too. What is it about us that makes us loves things that can break…oh, dear…was that a Freudian Slip?? I live in Germany (my sweetie is an army officer…and quite handsome in a uniform, I might add…) and we drive to Poland for Polsh pottery…..down to Nove, Italy for Italian pottery….over to Souflenheim, France for funky French/German pottery and then….you have your awesome flea markets with all of the old lady dishes your heart can take. AHHHHHHH!!! I'm drooling….I must go plan a trip to buy dishes….NOW!
Julie in WA On Saturday, June 20 at 12:18 am
What do you use those little bowls on the tray for?
Jane from Australia On Saturday, June 20 at 12:32 am
Oh dear.
I just bought a 24 piece dinner set……
Rebekah VA On Saturday, June 20 at 12:57 am
I probably would have broken the promise I made to myself too. My only question is…from where did those four plates and the dish in the background suddenly come? And another one…were those conveniently on sale at the same time too?
Rebecca Boyer On Saturday, June 20 at 12:58 am
Rebecca Boyer On Saturday, June 20 at 12:58 am
I have these dishes – and love them!
mari On Saturday, June 20 at 1:05 am
i love these dishes. i am dishaholic and collect. collect. collect. i have more sets of of china than martha stewart. and my children have all graduated from college and graduate school so i have no excuse not to keep adding to my collection.
it does happen eventually. they graduate
LisaAlso On Saturday, June 20 at 2:22 am
I always told my husband that I NEEDED an old Victorian house with a huge built in pantry just to hold all the china patterns I lusted after! Never got the house, so I've had to hold down the china acquisitions! That's sad, isn't it??
Laurie On Saturday, June 20 at 2:27 am
I have a china problem too. We actually have 13 or 14 full sets of china. Then we have some regular everyday dishes as well – only three sets of those though. Oh! I also got the remaining dishes from my Grandmother's china. It's a sickness, I tell you. But now I have to fill in Grandma's china.
alicia from INDIANA On Saturday, June 20 at 3:18 am
I noticed in the background that 3 more plates were there and they were painted "pink" on the bottom….Oh where did u get those???? I MUST KNOW…..Please!!
Saj On Saturday, June 20 at 4:42 am
I LOVE Tracy Porter stuff! And being from Wisconsin myself, I love the idea that she's "local"! I actually gave my bridesmaids sweet little vases of hers. I love that china!
Melanie On Saturday, June 20 at 5:08 am
Cute stuff. I too have a serious china problem. It's genetic, I get it from my mother. I have 6 sets of dishes include my great grandmother's china and my grandmother's china.
Kim On Saturday, June 20 at 5:13 am
Beautiful china, Ree!
I have a problem with china and glassware. I collect them like some women collect shoes!
Phoe On Saturday, June 20 at 5:32 am
Those bowls are gorgeous!
Puppydogs On Saturday, June 20 at 5:35 am
They are pretty, but my favorite is your jade green plates.
Jane george On Saturday, June 20 at 5:36 am
I would just hang those three plates on the wall, they are wonderful!
Hokie Deb On Saturday, June 20 at 5:43 am
–>All of my dishes are solid white. I love the patterns you have in your kitchen. Dish envy?
Diane On Saturday, June 20 at 6:00 am
A number of years ago I went to her small shop in Princeton, WI. Oh my – I managed to leave with my wallet intact (and a delightful little bud vase) – just barely, though. Her things are so delightful and feminine, sweet and light.
SarahW On Saturday, June 20 at 6:04 am
Yep, those are Dahlia's, my favorite! I have them in pots all over my deck…didn't realize I could own them in a set of cute little bowls too! Hmmmmm.
mountain mama On Saturday, June 20 at 6:13 am
That is VERY pretty in a "That is SO NOT me" way.
I like the antiques- like Fransiscan Apple.
I love to LOOK at other peoples china, though!
Thanks for sharing!
jujubee On Saturday, June 20 at 6:15 am
I don't care so much about china, but your excellent writing style impresses me just about every day:
>> I pricked both my index fingers and became blood sisters with myself. Then we promised each other we wouldn't buy another piece of dinnerware until our youngest went to college.<<<
LOL :o)
Amy Johnson On Saturday, June 20 at 6:21 am
How wonderfully they would look in my kitchen.
Freth On Saturday, June 20 at 6:26 am
We are at the empty nest stage in life … and downsizing.
Having had a several thousand sq ft house … we now live in 386 sq feet. Something has got to go! No more china. :0)
Loydene On Saturday, June 20 at 6:28 am
Oh WOW!!!! A problem that I totally understand! I'm going to have to go search for that china … just to drool, I'm certain — but I LOVE everything you showed!
Clenna in NH On Saturday, June 20 at 6:31 am
I love these china pieces. So pretty! You go girl!
farmwifeWI On Saturday, June 20 at 6:38 am
I have a serious china addiction also–oh the tales I could tell……AND Tracy Porter relocated to small town in central wisconsin after living a big city life somewhere –she has the most precious shop there–in Princeton, Wi. You and she probably have a LOT in common. There ARE worse things to be addicted to except china takes up so much space……
Joce On Saturday, June 20 at 6:41 am
I too have a serious china problem! But I also have a fabric addiction (being a quilter and all). This week I just bought 3 yards of luscious Tracy Porter fabric. I have been relishing the colors and dreaming of what it will become
Jean On Saturday, June 20 at 6:47 am
Love them! Perfect for summer dining on the patio.
Kara On Saturday, June 20 at 6:47 am
You definitely do, but those are gorgeous! Sorry to hear that you let your self-blood sister down!
Liz On Saturday, June 20 at 6:55 am
Horchow is dangerous. If you love pottery, china, flatware, do not go there! I have a credit card bill to prove it.
Sandy On Saturday, June 20 at 7:02 am
In general, I only collect blue-and-white china, with one exception: I have the same champagne glasses (your grandmonthers?) as you do, plus 6 matching plates. Sorry to say, I've broken all the wine glasses over the years. I believe in using things and applaud your making parfaits for your daughters in your champagne glasses.
Anonymous On Saturday, June 20 at 7:03 am
Beautiful! I checked out the link to Horchow and I LOVE the apple and the cherry patterns, and my husband would love the Woodland! Makes me want to buy new dishes!
Big Blue House Momma On Saturday, June 20 at 7:06 am
I love dishes too!!! I'd ideally like to have a set for every season and holiday. But where to store them….
CArolyn On Saturday, June 20 at 7:09 am
How could you NOT have a serious china problem with all your hours in the kitchen.
Those are darling…they beg to be looked at!
Halle G On Saturday, June 20 at 7:14 am
I love the plates! I wouldn't have been able to pass those up either and I'm not even that into china.
Cathy On Saturday, June 20 at 7:20 am
Ree, you crack me up. I also have a serious china addiction. (I love your Herend… how cool your grandmother must have been!) I wonder who doesn't need 5 full sets of china? Have you looked at http://www.replacements.com/ ??? (PS – Hide the credit card…)
sheila isaac On Saturday, June 20 at 7:26 am
I love china also. Hardly ever use my good set!
Julie On Saturday, June 20 at 7:30 am
Love fun plates! I have the same weakness: see fun china or pottery – buy fun china or pottery.
Bonnie On Saturday, June 20 at 7:38 am
Guess what? I own these bowls and matching tray. My dear friend gave them to me for my birthday 2 years ago and I LOVE them! It's always such a treat to find a link in our very diverse worlds.
EBH On Saturday, June 20 at 7:43 am
I have been obsessed with this set of Tracy Porter's for years! I haven't bought though… I'm single in a studio, so it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense given entertaining is tricky given my small space!
annette On Saturday, June 20 at 7:45 am
love love love tracy porter. when i lived in wisconsin there was an outlet store(tracy lives in or is from wisconsin) i think the town was princeton. thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Abbie On Saturday, June 20 at 7:55 am
Those are fabulous!
Lynne in NC On Saturday, June 20 at 8:00 am
Oooooh… these are lovely.
It's not a serious china problem if you actually use the dishes — which you do. So keep on Sista!
Thanks for sharing the photos, I'm liking 'em too.
love ya!
Mary Beth (Cats, Books, Life is Good) On Saturday, June 20 at 8:04 am
There are times when I want to go through my cabinets and "accidentally" drop everything on the floor (except one piece to remind me of the pattern) and then I would be justified in getting a whole new set of china. Thank goodness I haven't found Tracy Porter anywhere nearby – I can feel the earthquake rumbling now:)
Angela On Saturday, June 20 at 8:05 am
Those are beautiful! I checked out her site, and she is having a sale until tomorrow, so you could order some more stuff. I especially loved the tea pot that would match the stuff you have. Cute, cute!!
Ernestine On Saturday, June 20 at 8:09 am
Love it. I have several sets like that in different patterns. I guess I have a problem too!
Tamara On Saturday, June 20 at 8:10 am
Oh, WOW! I love those!
Kathy Stephenson On Saturday, June 20 at 8:16 am
It's so easy to buy one piece and before you know it…..BAM! You just can't stop yourself. I'm that way with Longaberger pottery. I just love the stuff that has the look of the basket weave. BTW….Horchow has free shipping this weekend!
Becky On Saturday, June 20 at 8:23 am
Can't you folks just say "gosh, those are so pretty! Thanks for sharing such beautiful bowls with us, Ree" without asking for her to give something away? Goodness, everything doesn't have to be linked to a free gift. I enjoy reading about new things without the hopes of getting something for free.
Thank you, Ree, for showing me such beautiful china–I love it.
Lisa On Saturday, June 20 at 8:24 am
Have I seen these on your blog before? I was looking at your key lime pie recipe yesterday because I wanted to try to make it today and the plate on which you served the pie caught my eye. I loved the pattern (I even commented on it). These look similar and I love them too!
Gwen Brockway On Saturday, June 20 at 8:31 am
Those are GORGEOUS!!! I am going to start saving up and hope they don't go out of production before I can get some! Hehehe…
marisa On Saturday, June 20 at 8:32 am
Adorable, but wow are they EXPENSIVE. Wish I had a few hundo to blow on china.
Liz Chambers On Saturday, June 20 at 8:35 am
I think buying china is one of those things that when you start you can't stop. =) So I've never started, and trying to stay content with the dishes my mother-in-law gave me. They are very vintage, and lovely.
melinda sue On Saturday, June 20 at 8:36 am
i share your dishes and china obsession. i would 30 sets if i could… maybe more…
Jacque On Saturday, June 20 at 8:46 am
They are beautiful. I share your china/dish obsession.
Liz On Saturday, June 20 at 8:55 am
Oh, you really should'nt have shown us this china! I googled Tracy Porter and LOVE her stuff! Did you know that she has clothes and shoes too?!?! I think I'm in trouble. : )
Nicole W On Saturday, June 20 at 8:59 am
They are gorgeous! I would have to hide them away till my kids/husband can figure out how to be GENTLE with things!! but they are beautiful!
Nikki H On Saturday, June 20 at 9:06 am
I love those flowers. My favorite plate is one I found at a flea market about 15 years ago. It has blue and red flowers and I serve cookies on it. I love it. I love these of yours. I think I want them.
Kim B On Saturday, June 20 at 9:08 am
What a timely post – I just posted about my love affair with various dishes and pottery on my blog – it's a good thing I didn't see your post before I added mine, because I'm quite sure it would have been littered with these gorgeous dishes.
Thanks for sharing, Ree!
Emily On Saturday, June 20 at 9:14 am
Oh wow. I seriously LOVE those bowls. Adorable!!

Just a reminder, this is not meant to be a discussion thread. You were told to ask in the guide for the game you are trying to get to work, not here in this thread.
IOS58 is now installed. The only benefit it seems is that now I can launch USB Loader GX from the system menu as opposed to just Homebrew.
No, I know. I'm still trying to get these games to work. A bunch of them used to, and now they don't, and I'm trying to figure out why.
On that note, after installing the IOS, the "problematic" games I listed still won't load properly, and the original one, Metroid Prime Trilogy is still not working.
At least I got 1 problem fixed, so that's good. Now I just to figure out how to prevent them from going all black screen on me...
Wait, a sec, I could have sworn there was a topic specific to that. I'll go try it, and see what the end result it afterwards.

Hi everyone,
I made a lot of reading and searching but this time i got no clue.
I cannot play COD3 on my HDD.I followed the thread (d2x cios), install all the wads with Wad Manager at the ios 236 like they said, the tread of problematic games tell me to install to cios 249, witch i did too.
I don't know if there's a confusion between those to ios and cios?COD3 don't work.I updated my CFG to v70 and i run the hdd in wbfs (Krank thread).
At the first page, i read about:
Follow the instructions and use ModMii to build the cIOS (249d2x [56] alpha 5).
I don't understand what to do with that!
Do i need that or if i have installed all the wads i'm ok?
Thanks in advance

Associate Professor
Fields of Study: Early Modern Europe, Atlantic World, Cultural/Intellectual, Race and Ethnicity
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Office: Zulauf 610
Education: Ph.D., University of Kiel, Germany, 1997
Current Research: I am writing a book on the relationship between Africans and Germans in the 17th and 18th centuries. It investigates the experience of Africans living in the German states, the way they were perceived and how this affected integration. My analysis places the German case in the context of the Atlantic world and the European intellectual debate on race and slavery. I argue against the notion that the German Enlightenment period can be seen as the cradle of racist thinking, I instead propose that this period was a transitional phase, clearly distinct from racist attitudes that developed in the 19th century.
Major/Recent Publications:
Teaching Interests: My teaching interests include courses on early modern Europe and Western Civilization, as well as overviews on social, cultural, gender, intellectual and religious history with a transatlantic approach.

Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt just barely left the womb and already they are raking in big bucks for the Brangelina baby farm. Brad and Angelina will reportedly receive $10 to $15 million from People magazine for the first photos of Brangelina Bunch children numbers 5 and 6. The babies make their debut in next week's issue of People and a photo from the issue will be revealed on People.com on Sunday.
Could there be some sibling rivalry in the Jolie-Pitt house already? Big sister Shiloh's first baby photos only fetched a reported $4.1 million from People. Apparently two baby Brangelinas are better (and cost more) than one. Either way, the youngest Jolie-Pitts are quite the moneymakers already. Knox, Vivienne, and Shiloh have already brought in about $19.1 million in just over 2 years. We probably won't see them setting up a lemonade stand anytime soon.

Cooking Live on Ireland AM
Friday was a really special day in our house as this was when I got to cook live on television for the very first time. It was just an amazing experience!
My slot was allocated for 7.45am and I was asked to be at the TV3 studios an hour prior to this. Myself and Jack were up at 5am. I sorted my hair and make-up and we hit the road at 5.40am. Even tough neither of us were use to such an early start surprisingly we weren't tired. I expect the excitement of heading to a tv studio can have that effect!
On arriving at the TV3 studios Laura, from the PR company that's dealing with Taste Of Dublin, met us and showed us to the kitchen. Edward Hayden was already in place and ready to welcome me with a big smile and lots of reassuring words before we went live. Within a couple of minutes I had my apron on and the presenter Anna Daly was introducing me with Edward. After this I was brought into the main studio to have my make-up touched up where I met Laura Birmingham and Sinead Desmond. Everyone was so friendly and relaxed I immediately felt comfortable and any fears of appearing on telly seemed to disappear!
The segment of me cooking was actually so short (only 4 mins 50 secs!) and seemed to pass even quicker. When I was plating the dish one of the crew was signalling that we only had one minute left. I then started to panic thinking that I'm on national television and I haven't mentioned my blog yet. I really didn't want to let the opportunity for such an amazing plug to pass. Thankfully Anna went on to mention it leaving me to frantically respond with as much as I could say in the remaining 30 secs!
It was so much fun and I really enjoyed the whole experience. It is now up to the public to vote for their favourite dish and voting lines will open on Monday. I will post the number to vote here on the blog and I would be thrilled if you would take the time to give me a vote. Fingers crossed and many thanks to all for so many lovely words of support!!
Here I am with the lovely Edward Hayden whose new book Food To Love is on sale here and also in many good book stores nationwide.

Lorraine Pascale's Doris Grant Loaf
I'm so excited about cooking live on television this Friday! The dish that I am cooking is very straight forward so at least that is one less worry. My nine year old Jack is going to travel with me to the TV3 studios. It will be such a wonderful experience for him and he's bringing his video camera to capture plenty of 'behind the scenes' footage. As ever family life is busy so I haven't had the time to yet get nervous about my upcoming television appearance. If you would like to see me demonstrating my dish tune in to TV3 this Friday 27th May at 9.10am.
I wanted to share with you a recipe for bread that I found in Lorraine Pascales' fabulous cookbook, Baking Made Easy. I'm really enjoying Lorraine's book and I'm slowly working my way through it.
I divided the dough to make bread rolls but it works best as a full loaf of bread. As Lorraine notes it is heavier than a regular yeast bread due to the 'no knead' approach however it is a lot quicker to make. The smell of fresh bread wafting from the kitchen is one of the best ways to greet anyone into your home. This bread is very effortless to make and delivers well on the flavour.

The smell of fresh bread wafting from the kitchen is one of the best ways to greet anyone into your home. This bread is very effortless to make and delivers well on the flavour.
Doris Grant loaf
This 'no-need-to-knead bread' was adapted from a 1940s recipe by healthy-eating evangelist Doris Grant, who believed white flour – and its lack of nutrients – was the enemy. Making bread one day, Doris forgot to knead it. On tasting the loaf, she discovered it had a fair taste and decided never again to bother kneading her bread.
- 225g/8oz strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
- 225g/8oz strong wholemeal flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 x 7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
- 1 tbsp clear honey
- 300ml/11fl oz warm water
- Vegetable oil or oil spray, for oiling
- a little milk, for brushing
Preparation method
- Dust a medium baking tray with flour.
- Sift the flours into a large bowl and reserve the grain – the brown bits that are too big to fit through the sieve. Add the salt and yeast, then make a big hole in the centre and pour in the honey and water. Mix well to form a smooth dough, working it gently with your hands if necessary. If the dough feels a bit stiff, add an extra two tablespoons of water. Shape the mixture into a ball and place on the prepared baking tray. Make sure the top is smooth and wrinkle-free. Cover the dough loosely with oiled clingfilm, making sure it is airtight, and leave to rise in a warm place for a good hour, or until it has almost doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Remove the clingfilm from the dough and make a few slashes in the top with a sharp knife – I use a sharp, serrated knife and saw gently. Brush the loaf with milk, sprinkle with the reserved grain and then place in the oven.
- Put about 10 ice cubes into the bottom of the oven – they will produce steam, which keeps the crust from hardening too quickly. (A quickly hardened crust prevents the bread from rising well.) Bake the bread for 30–40 minutes, or until it has risen, sounds hollow when tapped underneath and comes easily off the baking tray. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the tray.
- Serve fresh from the oven with loads of butter. These loaves do not keep well. However, if the whole lot does not disappear in one sitting, slice up the remainder and put it in the freezer to eat as toast.

The Sunday Roast - Anyday you please!
I think most will agree that a roast dinner is fairly high on their list of favourite dinners. Is it that one meal can guarantee such a great fusion of flavours or is it the feeling of nostalgia that this meal can conjure up? When I was growing up a roast dinner was obligatory on a Sunday, be it chicken, beef or lamb it was always served up with all the trimmings. I am still quite partial to a roast dinner but what hinders me from making this every other day is all the washing up it produces. There seems to be so many bowls, pots and pans needed for the roast and all the necessary accompanying dishes.
This recipe that I am sharing with you is one that I have relied on in times when I have needed to feed a crowd but was really pushed for time. With this recipe you can have a delicious roast dinner any day of the week with very little effort. To make the most of a whole chicken I get my butcher to chop it into 10 pieces, of course if you are handy with butchery you could attempt to do this yourself but most butchers are most happy to oblige, which means less work for you in the kitchen. This not only cooks the chicken quicker but it results in a lot less waste with every possible piece of meat available for the eating. Feel free to experiment with what you add to the uncooked chicken. I am serving the potatoes and vegetables cooked separately but a few new potatoes, scrubbed well, would also cook perfectly in this dish. Likewise root vegetables roughly chopped would cook to perfection in this dish. I am always in search of "easy entertaining" recipes and this couldn't be simpler- just pop the tray in the oven a couple of hours before your guests arrive and it is ready for the table, served straight from the oven. The lemons and roasted garlic almost caramelise while cooking and the smokey flavour from the chorizo and paprika add a gratifying flavour to the cooked chicken, which leaves the chicken tasting equally as good served cold with salads. Do try out this way of cooking a roast chicken and believe me you will find it so convenient and tasty that this will be your new Roast Dinner. All you will need now is a plan of what to do with all the extra time you will have on a Sunday!
1 x 2-2.25kg Chicken cut into 10 pieces
100g chorizo cut into large chunks
1 head Garlic separated into unpeeled cloves
1 unwaxed Lemon cut into chunks
Sprig of rosemary
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
150 ml white wine
Black pepper
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4.
2. Put the chicken pieces into a roasting tin and add the chorizo, garlic cloves, lemon chunks and the rosemary; just pull the leaves off the stalks.
3. Sprinkle over the smoked paprika. Add the oil and using your hands mix everything together, then spread the mixture out, making sure all the chicken pieces are skin side up and the chorizo is nestled under the chicken pieces.
4. Pour over the white wine and grind on some pepper, then cover tightly with foil and put in the oven to cook for 1 1/2 hours.
5. Remove the foil from the roasting tin, and turn up the oven to 200ºC/gas mark 6.
Cook the uncovered chicken for another 30 minutes, by which time the skin on the meat will have turned golden brown.
6. Serve straight from the oven in the roasting tray.

Roast Chicken Quesadilla
I have been busy in the kitchen over the past few weeks with family occasions and get togethers. I also took the time to enter a few recipe competitions. There seems to be so many recipe competitions at the moment, such as Taste Factor, and all have amazing prizes up for grabs, so I just had to rustle up a few recipes and enter - if you're not in, and all that!!
This recipe is one that comes in handy at times when I am really busy and need something quick for supper or tea.
This recipe is one that comes in handy at times when I am really busy and need something quick for supper or tea.
This is a dish that be thrown together very quickly with whatever ingredients you have at hand. Quesadillas are a popular dish in my house and they are a great way to use up any left overs including roast chicken. Ham could also be used in place of the chicken however after watching What's Ireland Eating, last week on RTE 1, I'm not sure if many of us will be adding any regular ham to our shopping baskets for a while!
Roast Chicken Quesadilla
2 wholewheat tortilla wraps
1 tablespoon sun dried tomato pesto
A small handful of grated cheddar cheese
2/3 sprigs of chive/red onion, sliced finely
Handful of roast chicken
1. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Spread the sun dried tomato pesto on one of the tortilla wraps, top with some grated cheese, a generous amount of spring onions, and lots of lovely roast chicken.
2. Place another tortilla wrap on top. Fry on both sides over a high heat, until the quesadilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
Serve the quessdillas sliced in quarters with a green salad.

Nutty Carrot and Broccoli Salad
With all the beautiful weather we have had over the past few weeks, the barbecue season seems to have starter early in Ireland. It is certainly a great way to entertain a crowd, with some good meats marinaded and a few bowls of tasty salads, so many mouths can be fed. This is one salad dish that I make to accompany grilled or barbecue meats. So many times recipes that I use regularly are ones that originally came recommended from someone. This recipe comes from my sister's sister in law, Yvonne, who seems to come up with fantastic salad combinations. The broccoli and carrots are kept raw and just roughly chopped into small pieces. This is such a nutritional dish and it is delicious even without any accompaniments.
Nutty Carrot and Broccoli Salad
1 large Carrot, diced into small pieces
100g Broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
40g Salted Peanuts, roughly chopped
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
1. Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.
2. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Book Review - Rachel Allen's Entertaining at home.
If you are planning on entertaining a few guests and would like to make it an occasion to remember then Rachel Allen's new book Entertaining at Home would certainly be the book to get you on the right track!
The book does not only focus on entertaining for formal occasions but also on how to make the most of entertaining a few friends informally with some irresistible nibbles and drinks.
There are so many amazing recipes and in true Rachel style all the recipes are easy to follow. Unlike many of her previous books there are many dishes that require more extravagant ingredients, that being said this book is focusing on special occasions which deserve dishes that wouldn't be on your average daily menu.
Chapters are Brunches and Lunches, Casual Meals, Eating Outdoors, Canapes and Small Bites, Small Celebrations, Dinner Parties, Larger Gatherings and The Buffet Party. Each chapter closes with menu selection ideas which proves very useful when organising an event. The book is complete with a pink ribbon marker which is one feature that I love in a cookbook!
'Entertaining at Home' isn't over saturated with photographs; I sometimes find that in cookbooks, recipes can be lost if not photographed as a photo always tempts the reader that little bit more to cook the dish. However there are 351 pages in this cookbook and to photograph each or even every second recipe would lead to a very large book indeed! The book is delightfully illustrated and the photography is beautiful with very elegant ideas on table decorations and settings.
There is a fantastic variety of recipes and decoration suggestions which are tailored for very different forms of entertaining. There are meal plans to suit any entertaining scenario, whether you are planning on entertaining a crowd or maybe looking for ideas on creating the perfect romantic meal for two you will find all the inspiration you need in 'Entertaining at Home'.
This cookbook is available to buy here on Amazon.

Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles ) is not a "Jewish festival", but rather a "Hebrew" festival, for it was given to all the Israelite tribes, not just Judah.
My thought is that the wicked get out of LoF at Tabernacles. They get harvested.That's a total of 186 days - 6 monthsIt makes extra sense when you consider (almost) all things of any significance happend on a holiday.Birth, start of ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus was on a holyday.Considering that getting everyone into heaven was the big aim of God why not on a holyday....?
Quote from: WhiteWings on April 25, 2009, 10:54:51 PM Therefore, any apparent confusion I've detected in their meanings has had to include His foreknowledge and perhaps outright prophecy of how the last couple thousand years and the next couple thousand years are playing out. But right now, that's much too deep for me, so I'm taking it a step at a time and jumping that swimming pool plank when I come to it in my studies and meditation time as it naturally unfolds.

A quote from Ray Smith. Very obvious really. You just has to come to mind. (didn't for me)If there are first-fruits there are at least also 2nd fruits.So my thought build on the thought of Ray:ETs seem to agree first-fruits are the believers that go to heaven. The people the people that are 'ready' when Jesus returns. The people that are raptured. etcBut where do the 2nd fruits come from? All besides the saints are in hell forever.The only place where Jesus can harvest is in hell/LoF
I love that you're digging into the festivals, WW. As a new believer, the Lord led me to look up the names of people, places and things, to cement my faith.
I saw just from that, that there was no way man had tampered that much with the book (one of my fears/oppositions to it).
Then He led me to study the feasts, finally the tabernacle. The amazing thing is; ALL these things I've named are interrelated. The feasts you are studying, are actually patterned in the Tabernacle as well, and the principles of them are in the names of people, places and things.
PS to Reformer; interesting about the Zohar. I've never read it, but I've heard about it. I think it's interesting that when the oldest and most revered Kabbalah teacher died a couple of years ago in Israel, he left behind notes that said his studies had found that Yeshua was the Messiah. It caused quite a stir in the Jewish community. Just goes to show you He is bringing them in through all the gates. Blessings....
I think it was J. Preston Eby who wrote a series decades ago, on the truth hidden in the TRUE Zodiac, the constellations, called "The Heaven's Declare". He has a site on Sigler.org's list of Kingdom ministers; it might be posted on there, I don't know.
Anyway, all the "signs" in the heavens point to Christ. Capricorn, I think it's a goat, isn't it? That would be Him as the scapegoat. Blessings...
.About the Jews believing in Christ. It struck me many times what they write about Him.Sites full of Hebrew symbols, but written in English, that discuss the meaning of the feasts, customs etc etcThey quite often mention Jesus with the highest respect. Often calling Him saviour. That always puzzled me.There almost seems to be some sort of hybrid Jewish Christian religion....
He says "The three feasts mentioned here represent the three times that WE must appear before the Lord. Remember...THESE ARE APPOINTED TIMES! We must appear before the Lord in justification (the salvation of our spirit), sanctification (the salvation of our soul), and glorification (the salvation of our body). These feasts are also known as: PASSOVER, PENTECOST, AND TABERNACLES. Knowing this will help us to rightly divide God's Word. THIS IS WHY PAUL STATED IN CERTAIN PLACES THAT WE WERE ALREADY RAISED WITH CHRIST IN NEWNESS OF LIFE (JUSTIFICATION), BUT IN OTHER PLACES HE SAID HE WAS WAITING FOR THE RESURRECTION (ANASTASIS) - THE REDEMPTION OF HIS BODY! We must look at each passage and rightly divide it according to whether Paul was speaking of justification, sanctification, or glorification. The error that many make is that they try to make every Scripture they read pertain to the now. When we do this we have left the proper method of interpreting the Scriptures, and we have entered the arena of forcing the Scriptures to line up with our own ideas. Understanding appointed times will make us free to know the truth!"
Jabcat,Can you point me to a site or book with work of Thomas Kissinger?Kissinger...watergate...living water.... I'm not trying or promoting a rapture discussion. That said here is how the ancient Jewish wedding customs where.When a couple wanted to marry the man went to the house of the girls father.=> Jesus came to earth (house) of the bride (believers) father (God?)He gave a wedding gift to the father of the girl. (he paid)=> Jesus paid for our sins.When the father accepted the gift the clock started ticking.=> God accepted the payment of Jesus.The groom went to his fathers home and started preparing a bridal chamber.=> Jesus went home to and started preparing rooms in the mansion with many rooms.When the father of the man was satisfied with the bridal room he gave his permission. Usually that took 1-2 years.=> Jesus has many brides so it takes Him 2000 years :-)The man gathers his friends and goes to the womans home. At the most unespected (nightly hour. (element of suprise)=> Jesus and his angels are coming to earth.When they are near the home of the woman the man blows a horn.=> Revelations trumpets?The man stops now and his friends going to 'steal' the bride and bring her to the man.=> Comes as a thief in the night at an unespected hour.=> Rapture.... sorry I had to mention it...The couple was locked up in the bridal room for 7 days. During this time the father made announcements and a wedding celebration=> 7 years of tribulation.=> Hell?Bride and groom come out of the chamber and the wedding supper starts.=> Jesus and the believers are bride and groom.=> But who are the guests?=> The people that came out of LoF.......?
The pattern He created is so intricate, there is no way anyone but God could have created it, and because that pattern is still functioning perfectly, like a clock keeping time, I personally see no way any rational person reviewing the facts could not come to the same conclusion we have; GOD IS ALIVE AND HE HAS A SON NAMED JESUS CHRIST. Blessings....

Ploughshare Tortoises Mating at the BCC
The Turtle Conservancy and Behler Chelonian Center are pleased to announce the first step towards the captive reproduction of our Ploughshare Tortoises. Two weeks ago we had a beautiful, sunny, California day and placed the adult male and adult female Ploughshare Tortoises together in hopes that mating might occur. We have been keeping them warm and humid this winter in hopes that we can take advantage of the natural reproductive cycle of the female who we expect is still accustomed to the warm, wet conditions in Baly Bay at this time of year. Our hopes and expectations paid off when the male finally showed interest in the female and successfully mated for the first time.
Of course, there are many questions remaining about whether this will result in fertile eggs, but we are ready to be patient and allow the natural process to occur with as little human interference as possible. We will continue to be vigilant to watch for nesting and will keep everyone posted with news as it happens.
We look forward to contributing to a sustainable species survival program and thank you all for your support!

"This card/invitation is a great value. The envelopes are even sized right for easier mailing options. I HIGHLY recommend this Invitation for several reasons: Classy, Easy to design, Beautiful color, & very easy custom changes if needed!!"
"The colors are vibrant just like on the screen. The paper quality is nice. They came before the date expected. Very satisfied."
"My invitations turned out exactly how they looked online. I am very pleased with the turnout, plus I ordered with standard shipping but they came in just a few days!"
"I purchased as is (no personalizing, only the information about my shower was edited) and to be honest, you really don't need to change a thing. It's so adorable and the colors are exactly as you see online. The quality was great. I will say, where the envelopes were glued (on the side) made sliding the card in a bit "snug" but overall, I'd buy these all over again! Great quality."
"WPD's worked with us to change the color of the tulips, as well as the background color, to match my daughter's wedding colors. It was so beautiful, that we decided to do tulips in shades of fuschia, lavender, and white for centerpieces to match the invitation! Wonderful quality all around. I highly recommend this company to all I know!"

Celebration of Spring Breakfast: A good time was had by all…
The annual Celebration of Spring staff and faculty breakfast hosted by President George Bridges on March 18 was a delicious success. The conversations around tables did not touch on spring cleaning, but a few alternate spring traditions mentioned included: spring skiing; traveling (without children) to the NCAA Basketball Championships; taking a relaxing trip to the coast; and repainting the front porch. For more of the mornings' smiling faces, click here.

Staff and Faculty Accomplishments
Michelle Acuff, assistant professor of art, recently opened the exhibition "corpus," pictured, at the Stevens Gallery of the College of William and Mary (Virg.) A sculptor and installation artist, Acuff aims to give poetic form to knowledge, she said. "Merging visual poetry and materiality into a single humble object allows me to speak about the blunt vulnerability, and yet frightening elegance, of being alive." Acuff, whose inspiration for the exhibit was recent time spent living in the contemporary Jackson, Miss., has exhibited her work nationally and won several awards, including a 2006 "Mississippi Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship."
Sean Gehrke, assistant director of residence life and housing, wrote an article that has been accepted for publication in the July-August issue of the Journal of College Student Development. The article, "Leadership through Meaning-Making: An Empirical Exploration of Spirituality and Leadership in College Students," examines the relationships between various components of socially responsible leadership and spirituality to provide empirical evidence supporting literature around spiritual leadership.
Kendra Golden, associate professor of biology, recently gave two presentations — "A Cure for the Past, a Cure for the Future: the Potential for Phage Therapy" to Western Washington University's Academy for Lifelong Learning; and "Drifting Away from Nature: The Cost of Convenience" at a conference on obesity at the Oxford Round Table in Oxford, U.K.
The compositions of John David Earnest, adjunct assistant professor of music, have been released in a CD on KOCH International Classics. Earnest was described in a March 4 New York review as "an incredibly original voice in modern classical music." An award-winning composer who teaches composition, he has been commissioned by many orchestras, symphonies and chorales, including the Walla Walla Symphony. Visit www.johndavidearnest.com for more information.
One, two, tree
Tree is not a typo — this is a story about counting trees. Recently a number of trees adjacent to Sherwood Center were removed to accommodate the renovation project. Gary Brown, landscape supervisor, reports on the tree status:
Nineteen of the trees that were removed are being saved and relocated — some already have been replanted in new campus locations and others are in "holding" near Cordiner, to return to the Sherwood area post-construction. Some trees had to be cut down; those with suitable logs will be milled into lumber. The branches were chipped into mulch, which will be used in campus shrub beds. At the end of the construction project, about 10 new trees will be planted in addition to the dozen that will be returned to the area. The trees and landscape committee reviewed the final plan and was involved in the decisions about which trees were cut down, relocated, and saved. Several trees that were originally scheduled to come down were saved by making slight adjustments to the renovation plan.
Pictured: Transplanted trees will "hold their ground" on the north side of Cordiner until they can be replanted adjacent to the renovated Sherwood Center.

This video of an unknown creature resembling a goat went viral on YouTube, after it was posted by LiveLeaksRussia just 2 days ago.
There is very few information about the animal, except for the fact the footage was taken in Palestine, somewhere on the Gaza Strip. The animal appears to be a goat that suffers from a genetic disorder, having 8 legs.
On a closer look, you can make out the goat-like creature's human features.
The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is believed to be the first species ever domesticated. Evidence of goat remains dating 9,000 years ago were found in the proximity of human settlements, in the Iran region, Wikipedia informs.
Capra hircus is a subspecies of the wild goat, or Capra aegagrus, found in Eastern Europe, Central and Southwest Asia and the Middle East.
