No, no their not. This is moto they will find a way to mess this up!
2. whitman5115 (Posts: 28; Member since: 27 Jan 2009)
i want it!
40. tonyc_42 (Posts: 61; Member since: 18 Aug 2009)
how can you possibly say "i want it!" about this device with such little info about it?? this is the perfect example of why phones get bad reputations when they come out because stupid people get it just because it looks cool and get pissed off as soon as it doesn't do every little thing they expect it to. do a little research before getting into devices that you probably can't handle people!!!!

look's like it will be a great phone hope it support's multitouch, and the squared design makes it look like the touch pro from verizon which wasn't an attractive phone
4. jeffcrawford84 (Posts: 9; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Will it utilize the Moto UI?
7. VZWfangirl (Posts: 71; Member since: 25 Jul 2009)
No Moto Blur
5. techie123 (Posts: 54; Member since: 25 Mar 2009)
Ditch the slide out keyboard (it just makes the device too thick) and it's a winner.
6. VZWfangirl (Posts: 71; Member since: 25 Jul 2009)
The phone is thin. Who told you it was thick?
8. 22ADin09 (Posts: 38; Member since: 24 Jul 2009)
i'm wondering the same thing....the Tao seems thinner than most slide out qwerty phones to me..
13. traedmark (Posts: 11; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
I may be mistaken, but I thought preliminary specs showed this phone to be just slightly thicker than the iphone.
19. techie123 (Posts: 54; Member since: 25 Mar 2009)
Anything more than .6 inches is too thick in my opinion. The T-Mo MyTouch is a much nicer phone to put in your pocket than the original G1. It only takes a couple of extra millimeters to make a phone too thick for my shirt pocket. The iPhone is just about as thick as I'd want.
9. becazican (unregistered)
when is it coming out, i want the slide out keyboard left, and it is thin. verizon relaease this damn phone
10. josuearisty (Posts: 148; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
I wanna get this phone, seems to be a good competitor in phones market
12. PapaJay224 (Posts: 866; Member since: 08 Feb 2009)
I just hope it not pressure sensitive, they feel so cheap when they have pressure sensitivity. The Storm is seriously the only exception because the screen doesnt flex when you push it, its a solid piece of glass. I hope this is like that.
15. artz1986 (Posts: 453; Member since: 11 Mar 2009)
I thought all Android handsets, besides the Tattoo have capacitive screens
14. artz1986 (Posts: 453; Member since: 11 Mar 2009)
so this is pretty much a grown-up CLIQ? I'm still iffy w/ the design, but should be pretty good.. Now, at&t, I'm waiting on you to get an Android handset...
16. mthoren68 (Posts: 66; Member since: 21 Sep 2009)
I am thinking it is going to come down to this, the HTC Imagio and the Omnia 2. Assuming this is not too much thicker, this gets the nod for Android and the keyboard, Imagio gets the nod for being a little stronger on the business end, and Omnia 2 will be a little thinner and have the AMOLED screen plus probably the best camera of the bunch. This is gonna be a close one.
17. PhoneArena Team (Posts: 258; Member since: 27 Jun 2006)
The Samsung Omnia 2, HTC Imagio, and Motorola Tao will all have a 5MP camera. We'll have to wait and see which one has the best quality pictures.
18. VZWfangirl (Posts: 71; Member since: 25 Jul 2009)
The Tao will. Picture quality is the best I've seen on any phone.
20. techie123 (Posts: 54; Member since: 25 Mar 2009)
The best thing Android has going for it is that it's so tightly integrated with all Google services that I use: gmail, calendar, contacts, google voice. Although there is a sync app for WinMo, BB and iPhone - the sync is not nearly as good as Android's native integrated Google services.
32. lennydude (Posts: 23; Member since: 06 Jun 2009)
I thought the "release" version of the Omnia 2 will have a 8 MP camera?
21. jeffcrawford84 (Posts: 9; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Does anyone else think that the Back, Menu, Home, and Search keys look fairly cheap? I think they could make them look more professional or classy. They just look a little cartoonish to me, which fits some phones fine, but not a high-end Motorola PDA.
23. VZWfangirl (Posts: 71; Member since: 25 Jul 2009)
It's a prototype.
22. xcalibur (Posts: 49; Member since: 18 May 2009)
looks like no imagination went into the design of the phone.
24. VZWfangirl (Posts: 71; Member since: 25 Jul 2009)
Prototype dude. No one Was sent the final product. Only way you'll see the real deal is at the Motorola event.
25. behold--me (Posts: 650; Member since: 22 Jun 2009)
ok um i think that this is kinda ugly and its gonna be a really expensive brick. its big and the sides cornered/ un-rounded :(
26. gemini6991 (Posts: 24; Member since: 21 Sep 2009)
Lol.. this had better be a prototype, or its going to be one of the ugliest phones on the market...In my opinion. I have the G1 now and of all the Android devices, this one (at least right now) is the least appealing.
27. pathmarkpolice (Posts: 102; Member since: 05 Feb 2009)
Is that a gsm sim card bed in the back of the phone? If so, YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH BOYYYEEEEE!!!
28. Rampaj33 (Posts: 5; Member since: 15 Sep 2009)
who really cares on how the phone looks its all about functionality and again ITS A PROTOTYPE peole so this is far from a finished product i do recieve from my inside recources and another thing is that a little birdie told me personally that motorola will launch a fake phone from time to time on the net to see what kind of respose it gets. So keep that in mind
29. Sethdras (Posts: 61; Member since: 22 Jul 2009)
So i thought this phone was launching mid to late October? is this really a prototype? wouldnt the finished product by out by now?
30. OMANN321 (Posts: 2; Member since: 09 Feb 2009)
multitouch on this by any chance?
41. VZWfangirl (Posts: 71; Member since: 25 Jul 2009)
Yes Eclair 2.0 has multitouch. I don't know who keeps giving me thumbs down, but get over it and find something better to do. I'm just answering peoples questions.
42. charlie bucket (Posts: 2; Member since: 04 Oct 2009)
Don't worry about the negative comments most of us appreciate your input. I personally think the asthetics are good. I'm glad it has the slide out qwerty and 16gb built in mem. is a nice surprise.
31. DonLouie (Posts: 594; Member since: 22 Dec 2008)
Papa, the only phone w/a glass screen is the iphone. If I'm wrong I'll gladly own up to it
34. tokuzumi (Posts: 961; Member since: 27 Aug 2009)
HTC Hero has a glass screen.
33. tokuzumi (Posts: 961; Member since: 27 Aug 2009)
What's the resolution on that phone? Looks to be greater than 320 x 480.
36. mortis507 (Posts: 3; Member since: 08 Feb 2009)
How come that picture with the Camera appears to have a SIM slot...

|Sushi Zo
Like with most food bloggers, I have quite a backlog of posts that dates all the way back to 2009. Sadly, with my frequent amount of dining out, the backlog just keeps growing and most of my photos will probably never see the light of day. However, Sushi Zo has been one of the places I wanted to post about. Even though I do have notes that documented this meal, I feel it's easier to let the pictures do the talking with this post. Below was the omakase tasting (chef's choice) at Sushi Zo.
|Rules of Zo
|Kirin on Tap
|Gari (Ginger)
When the ginger arrives on the table, you know it's time for some sushi!
|Miso Soup
|Kumamoto Oyster
|Maguro (Big Eye Tuna)
|Awabi (Abalone)
|Uni Cuttlefish Noodles with Ponzu and Soy
This dish was quite delicious, though I personally love sea urchin roe.
|Hirame (Halbut)
|Aji (Japanese Mackerel)
|Hotate (Scallop)
|Shiro Maguro (Albacore Tuna)
|Hamachi (Yellowtail)
|Toro (Big Eye Fatty Tuna)
|Kampachi (Amberjack)
|Ibodai (Butterfish)
|Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp)
|Meji Maguro (Baby Tuna)
|Mirugai (Geoduck)
|Kurodai (Black Snapper)
|Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper)
|Sawara (Spanish Mackerel)
|Ankimo (Monkfish Liver)
|Ikura (Salmon Roe) and Uni (Sea Urchin Roe)
|Anago (Sea Eel)
|Toro Handroll
|Tamago (Egg)
|Blue Crab Handroll
And last, but not least, we finished off the omakase with a yuzu shot.
|Yuzu Shot
|Bill (Omakase was about $102/person)
What's my take on Sushi Zo? I did enjoy my meal. All of the fish served that night were fresh and delicious, yet I thought the flavors were a bit too similar. Quite a few of the fish were buttery and rich, and although there's nothing wrong with that fact, I was hoping for something different. As many have noted in the past, the sushi chef there was a bit cold and aloof. Although we sat on the side table, there were virtually no contact between the chef and us, the patrons. While I would dine at Sushi Zo again, it's been two years since this dinner, and I haven't given any thoughts of going back just yet. Personally, I think there are better sushi out there, and probably at a better price. If you haven't tried Sushi Zo, I'd say give it a shot, but just don't expect to be wowed.
Think we were done? Not quite yet....we stopped to get pies at Apple Pan.

When you think all is lost, and there's no hope, along comes the bounty hunter.
If I were to score a cinematic western movie, this is what it would sound like. This is the result of me watching too many man with no name flicks and getting inspired. It starts out intense and brooding and gives you the feeling of impending danger. It intensifies as the main melody comes in with a full trumpet fanfare behind it-Italian Style. The strings and low bass kick in the second time around as the score fills out. And just as it does time to sit back and reflect for a moment, and then right into a fun chicken pickin' section for a bit, then back to the main theme to the outro.
Thanks for listening

January 21 episode to highlight chef's Outstanding in the Field event
On Tuesday, Jan. 21 The Chew is set to air a segment featuring Kevin Johnson, executive chef and owner of The Grocery, and his participation in the Outstanding in the Field dinner held at Thornhill Farm last Fall. The show will air at 1 p.m. on ABC.
The segment focuses on the Lowcountry, including the return of the traveling dining experience to Thornhill Farm in McClennanville. The event took place on October 3, 2013 and included a cocktail hour with bites, a tour from host farmers and a multi-course, family-style meal conceptualized and executed by chef Johnson and his team.
The event also highlighted many local businesses and products, including Thornhill produce, Le Creuset cookware, Grassroots Wine and spirits from High Wire Distilling, mixed by The Grocery's own bar manager Hallie Arnold. Students from The Culinary Institute of Charleston also had the chance to participate on-site and help prepare the meal.
The dinner began with hors d'oeuvres representing the restaurant's ethos, then progressed through a four-course, family style supper that was a narrative of his cooking, from his start as a vegetarian to a dessert inspired by his days with his grandfather.
The menu included: hors d'oeuvre such as grilled chicken heart lettuce wraps and grilled flatbread with butter bean hummus and charred eggplant. A warm salad of kale and collards with bagna cauda vinaigrette and ricotta salata began the seated portion followed by a braised golden tilefish with Hoppin' John of Charleston gold rice and crowder peas with a pickled shrimp vinaigrette. A mix of Border Springs lamb was served with okra, spiced tomato gravy, cotija cheese and butter bean and broccoli rabe gratin and dessert was an apple tarte tatin with Tillamook extra sharp cheddar with salted peanut and sorghum swirl ice cream.
About The Grocery
Evoking memories of the small-town grocery, executive chef and owner Kevin Johnson has created a gathering place of warmth and familiarity, with a menu based on seasonal ingredients available from local and regional farmers and fishermen and has worked with for many years in the Charleston, S.C. area. The Grocery's kitchen is stocked with house-made charcuterie and fresh, local fish and seafood, and the restaurant accommodates an in-house canning program to preserve fresh vegetables for the menu. An extensive cocktail and wine list are available as is craft beer on tap, and a wood-burning oven heightens the cordial atmosphere in the former furniture warehouse. Complimentary parking is available on-site in an adjacent parking lot. For more information on the Grocery, please visit www.thegrocerycharleston.com, become a fan on Facebook or follow the restaurant on Twitter.
About The Chew
The Chew airs weekdays at 1:00 pm on ABC and strives to share new and exciting food ventures while exploring notable chefs, recipes, and lifestyle topics and nutrition tips. The show includes co-hosts chef Carla Hall, author Clinton Kelly, health and wellness enthusiast Daphne Oz, chef Mario Batali and chef Michael Symon.
About Outstanding in the Field
Outstanding in the Field is a roving culinary adventure – literally a restaurant without walls. Since 1999 Outstanding in the Field has set a unique table while re-connecting diners to the origins of their food and to honor the local farmers and food artisans who cultivate it. The table is set indoors or outdoors located at beautiful farms, islands or in museums. The theme of each dinner is to honor the people whose hard work brings nourishment and life to the table while indulging in a meal made of local ingredients executed by a celebrated chef.

A diehard sports fan, Columbiana resident Bill Schneidmiller recently met his favorite all-time athlete, golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. Schneidmiller became a Nicklaus fan when Nicklaus beat Arnold Palmer in the 1962 U.S. Open at Oakmont. On May 29 of this year, Schneidmiller not only met the golfing great, but had the opportunity to spend approximately 40 minutes, talking with Nicklaus and his wife Barbara during the Muirfield Golf Memorial Classic in Dublin, Ohio.
Schneidmiller's meeting with Nicklaus was arranged through the Wish of a Lifetime Foundation which was founded by two-time Olympic skier and former NFL player Jeremy Bloom.
Wish of a Lifetime's mission is to foster respect and appreciation for seniors by fulfilling life enriching wishes and a belief that most seniors have one thing in their life that they have always wanted to experience. Schneidmiller's daughter Leanne Christensen submitted the request on her father's behalf.
"I didn't think I stood a chance of getting to meet Jack," said Schneidmiller, who estimates that he has seen Nicklaus play at least 25 times in person, most of them during the time he lived in southern California. "Due to my being a salesman, I was able to work my schedule so that I could make it to a number of his tournaments in California."
"He was as nice as could be," said Schneidmiller, who still plays golf three times a week at the age of 82. "My daughter Leanne and I were escorted into the VIP Center at Muirfield. About five minutes later, Jack walked in. He was so easy to talk to. It was just like sitting here talking to you. The biggest thing that sticks with me is how friendly he was. We talked about some of his past tournaments and some of his matches with Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson. His wife Barbara even stopped by for about 15 minutes. She was also very nice."
After graduating from East Liverpool in 1948, Schneidmiller spent four years playing minor league baseball, toiling in such outposts as Rocky Mount and Greenville in the Coastal Plains League, Rockingham (Tobacco State), Youngstown/Oil City (Middle Atlantic) and Magic Valley (Pioneer League) from 1949-1952.
"Due to the shortage of players due to World War II, I had started playing in the City League in East Liverpool, when I was only 14 years old," said Schneidmiller. "I primarily played shortstop and second base. I had been an Indians fan all my life, but my dad was friends with a St. Louis Cardinals scout by the name of Forbes Alcock, who convinced me to sign with St. Louis. They had a vast minor league system. That's how I ended up in Rocky Mount. I eventually realized that I wasn't going to reach the majors, so I decided it was time to settle down and find a full-time job."
Schneidmiller laughed as he thought back to his minor league days.
"It seemed like the Rocky Mount bus broke down just about every other road trip," he said with a smile. "Those weren't the best buses and the ballparks were something else."
Schneidmiller, who married Patricia Reed in 1952, initially worked at Harker Pottery in Chester. During this time, he started officiating/umpiring baseball, basketball and football while also coaching in the local Pony League.
"We left East Liverpool in 1964, going to Las Vegas where I worked in sales for three years for AAA (American Automobile Association). Pat had a cousin who worked for them out there and he told me about the opening. After we saw the beaches of southern California on a vacation trip, we decided that I should try to get transferred to there. We loved the beach areas. Due to a solid sales record, I was able to get transferred to Garden Grove.
During these moves, Schneidmiller continued to officiate high school basketball, eventually hanging up his whistle in 1990.
"I truly enjoyed the game," said Schneidmiller. "Thirty-five years seems like a long time to officiate, but it really went by very quickly. It kept me involved in sports and also kept me in shape."
Moving back to Columbiana County in 1992, Schneidmiller is still active, serving as the secretary of a Monday night golf league at Valley Golf Course and a Wednesday morning traveling golf group.
"On Wednesdays, we play a different course each week. I'm responsible for setting up the schedule and securing tee times. It seems as though I have been involved in sports all my life," Schneidmiller said. "I love the competitiveness of sports and the friendships that you build."

NIAGARA FALLS – Staff and students were evacuated at about 9:30 a.m. Monday from Gaskill Preparatory School after two school employees mixing chemicals in the basement pool area set off a noxious reaction, according to the Fire Department.
The two maintenance workers, who were not named, were taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center for evaluation, fire officials said.
Students in classrooms were not exposed to the leak, according to fire and school officials. The children were taken to Hyde Park Elementary School as firefighters addressed the situation.
Fire Chief Thomas Colangelo said a maintenance worker accidentally poured a one-gallon container of muriatic acid into 20 gallons of liquid chlorine in a 50-gallon drum that feeds the pool chlorination system at the school at 910 Hyde Park Blvd.
The mixture created a cloud of chlorine gas in the basement area of the school.
In addition to city firefighters, mutual aid was given by the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station Fire Department's HazMat unit to help contain the leak, which appeared to be confined to the basement.
Colangelo said crews in full turnout gear assessed the chemical levels in the basement and set up smoke ejectors to ventilate the affected area. Meters were used to assess air-safety levels.
Chiefs on the scene made a decision to route the mixture from the 50-gallon drum through the filter and into the pool to be diluted. Colangelo said that in order to speed up the process, they bypassed the filter and pumped the mixture into five-gallon containers which were then dumped into the pool, diluting the mixture to safe levels.
After air levels in the basement were determined to be safe, the school was turned over to the Board of Education at 1:30 p.m., Colangelo said.
Children remained out of Gaskill the entire school day, district spokeswoman Judie Gregory-Glaser said.
School is scheduled to resume at Gaskill today.

The following is a condensation of remarks to Republicans at the Randolph County Lincoln Day dinner last Saturday evening:
Let me begin by talking about our country and 2014.
Abraham Lincoln once said, "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher." That seems to have special relevance these days, and we need to understand a couple of things.
- Democrats will stop at nothing to retain control of the Senate and capture control of the House in 2014. They'll lie, they'll cheat heck, they'll even get the dead to rise up and vote early and often on Election Day.
- If Democrats succeed, the Republic, for all intents and purposes, will be lost. No one will be able to stop President Obama, especially if he has a chance to replace Justices Scalia or Kennedy.
So make no mistake about it. The nation, in my judgment, faces its greatest threat since World War II.
Enter now the Republican Party and my wish list.
1. I wish Republicans would figure out who they are.
A lot of people, including even some Republicans, have suggested that Republicans should be more like Democrats. That would be a grave mistake. John McCain tried it, and look where it got him and the party. To be more like Democrats would mean marginalizing the Constitution and abandoning important GOP principles.
I suggest an opposite approach. I suggest the GOP dump its moderation and provide the nation with a clear choice - socialism and oppressive government vs. free enterprise and freedom from government.
2. I wish Republicans would pursue a winning strategy for 2014 and beyond.
I suggest Republicans be bold. I suggest they put together a message that resonates with ALL Americans - Republicans, Democrats, men, women, young, old, hyphenated and non-hyphenated.
And what might that message be? How about love of country and respect for the Constitution.
In that regard, I suggest the GOP join with third-party friends to create a multi-media public relations campaign to promote patriotism and love of country and the Constitution. The sad fact is that a lot of people, young and old, either haven't been taught or have forgotten what makes this nation great, and without that awareness and context, voters can and often do shake hands with the devil.
I suggest nationalizing the Congressional races as much as possible. Running against Obama still seems like a good idea. And I'd suggest focusing on three major issues - health care, the federal budget and deficit, and taxation.
Regarding health care, the Republican members of Congress need to develop a cohesive, easy-to-understand alternative to ObamaCare. And give it a name - maybe "YourCare."
Regarding the federal budget and deficit, it might not be a bad idea for the GOP candidates to embrace zero-based budgeting. We don't hear much about that these days, and the GOP budget sounds about as bad as the Senate budget or Obama's budget.
Congressman Dennis Ross from Florida has introduced HR 239, called the Zero-based Budgeting Ensures Responsible Oversight Act. The bill has 16 co-sponsors. West Virginia Rep. Shelley Moore Capito is not one of them. According to one of her aides, she's not sold on HR 239.
Regarding taxation, West Virginia Republicans back the Fair Tax Act. Good. It's been introduced in the House as HR 25, and it's intended to promote freedom, fairness and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the states.
It has 53 co-sponsors. Rep. Capito is not one of them. Her aide said he has not called the bill to her attention.
I suggest that Republicans avoid issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Such issues need to be left in the hands of our social institutions.
Let's face facts. Government can't cure everything that ails us, even though Democrats would like us to believe it can. Government can't even run the post office.
Republicans need to stop reacting to Democrats and worrying about what liberals say. Be yourselves. Stand on your own two feet - in 2014 and beyond.

Elohim City is an Identity settlement of 70 to 90 residents located on 400
acres at the edge of a rugged and mountainous tract of land along the Oklahoma-Arkansas
border in Adair County, Oklahoma. It was founded in November 1973 by Robert
G. Millar(1925-2001), a former Mennonite and a United States resident alien from Canada.
"Filled with the Holy Spirit," according to a son, Millar moved to Oklahoma
City in the mid-1950s, where he founded a church; in the mid-1960s, he moved
to Ellicott City, Maryland, to run a campground. He returned to Oklahoma in
1973 with about 18 family members to establish Elohim City, or "City of God,"
as a spiritual community to "honor God" while waiting for Him to establish His
kingdom on earth. A number of Millar's followers were related to him
by birth or marriage.
Christian Identity is a religious sect notorious for its racist and anti-Semitic
tenets, but Elohim City residents have preferred to identify themselves in milder
terms. Indeed, to many residents, the compound has been a place of refuge rather
than a site from which to wage a holy war. Extremists visiting Elohim City expecting
some sort of bastion of white rage, like the former Hayden Lake, Idaho compound
of Aryan Nations, were frequently disappointed by the comparatively more reclusive
lifestyle adopted by many residents. Millar acknowledged that community members favored racial separatism, but claimed: "Somebody said, 'You're not a racist, you're a purist.' I sort of liked that.'" Similarly, his second-oldest son John, one of eight Millar children and the community's presumptive new leader following the death of his father in May 2001, has said, "we consider ourselves survivalists in the sense that we want to survive the best way we can.…We have weapons, but any person within 15 miles of us has more weapons per household than we do. We don't make a big thing about weapons. We don't think we can keep the National Guard away with a few weapons."
Yet when Elohim City initially came to public attention, in the mid-1980s, guns were the issue. In 1986, the estranged wife of a Canadian man fled with their four children to Elohim City in defiance of a court order awarding custody of the children to the father. When law enforcement officials arrived at the compound in an attempt to enforce the court's decision, they were met by residents bearing semiautomatic weapons. Rather than risk gunfire, the officers withdrew.
Extremist Connections: The Covenant, The Sword and The Arm of the Lord
Elohim City leaders and members had ties to The Covenant, The Sword and The
Arm of the Lord, a now-defunct paramilitary survivalist group that operated
an Identity settlement near the Arkansas-Missouri border. Elohim City residents
attended the group's 1982 "national convention" at the CSA compound, and Robert
Millar preached several times at religious services held during the gathering;
likewise, CSA activists James Ellison and Richard Wayne Snell visited Elohim
City several times in the early 1980s. When Ellison, the CSA's leader, was arrested
in 1985 for possession of illegal weapons, the F.B.I. and state authorities
enlisted the cooperation of Millar and his son John to mediate Ellison's surrender
in the hope of averting an armed confrontation during the course of a four-day
standoff. Ellison was later indicted on federal racketeering charges in the
attempted bombing of a natural gas pipeline near Fulton, Arkansas, and on arson
charges in fires at a Springfield, Missouri, church; a Jewish community center
in Indiana; and a private home. John Millar called the charges against Ellison
"bureaucratic technicalities" and "a bunch of hogwash." Robert Millar, moreover,
served as Ellison's spiritual adviser during his imprisonment. Ellison eventually
was convicted and sentenced in September 1985 to 20 years in prison on federal
racketeering and firearms violations charges. In 1987, however, he testified
for the government at the Fort Smith, Arkansas, sedition trial of 10 leading
far-right figures -- including Aryan Nations' leader Richard Butler, former
Klansman and neo-Nazi Louis Beam and several members of the white supremacist
gang The Order (none of whom were found guilty) -- and was subsequently placed
in the federal witness relocation program. He later married Millar's granddaughter
Angeline Millar and lived with her in Elohim City.
Robert Millar also served as a spiritual adviser to the CSA's Snell, who was
sentenced to life in prison for the 1984 killing of an Arkansas state trooper
during a routine traffic stop (John Millar testified as a character witness
for Snell during the trial) and then subsequently charged, tried, convicted
and sentenced to die for the 1983 execution-style murder of a pawn shop owner
in Texarkana -- whom he mistakenly thought to be Jewish. Snell reportedly told
a CSA colleague that the pawnshop owner was "a Jew who deserved to die." On
April 19, 1995, Robert Millar visited Snell before he was executed, witnessed
the execution and arranged for Snell's body to be buried in Elohim City; the
Oklahoma City bombing occurred the same day.
After Oklahoma City: Fear of Another Waco
Following the bombing, Elohim City received substantial public attention,
in part because of what some on the far right described as "parallels" between
Millar's Identity enclave and the Branch Davidian sect in Waco.1
Millar acknowledged that he and his followers feared a Waco-style raid of their
compound (the 1993 federal siege at Waco ended in the deaths of about 80 Davidians);
calls for further crackdowns after the Oklahoma bombing had intensified their
anxieties. In media appearances, Millar maintained careful discretion about
his religious, racial and civic views: The New York Times, in May 1995, described
him as a Christian Identity preacher, but noted: "Mr. Millar was cautious in
discussing Identity's racial outlook. Elohim City was 'not pro-Zionist,' he
said. He charged that Israel was 'founded on terrorism,' and said that he believed
that federal officials who arrested another Identity leader, James Ellison,
in 1985, were accompanied by two agents of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence
Millar was quoted as saying, "we're going to have a civil war and race riots"
in America, but insisting that he had "no ill will toward any people" and that
whites were divinely obliged as leaders to serve others, providing food and
other aid. He declared: "I have to be a voice for moderation, a voice for common
sense. I believe destruction is coming, but I want no part in starting it."
The Times reported that Millar shunned the term "white supremacist" to describe
himself but that he believed in racial differences.
After Oklahoma City: A Connection to Timothy McVeigh
Beyond any resemblance to the Waco sect, the primary reason that Elohim City
attracted media attention after the Oklahoma City bombing was the discovery
of a link between the bomber and Millar's settlement. Federal investigators
learned that Timothy McVeigh and Elohim City security director Andreas Strassmeir
had previously met at a Tulsa gun show and that McVeigh had called the compound
on April 5, 1995, two weeks before the bombing. At a May press conference in
Elohim City, Millar denied any connections with McVeigh, telling reporters that
his community had never heard of McVeigh prior to the bombing. He stated: "I
don't think I've ever seen him. I don't think he's ever been in any of my audiences
to the best of my knowledge. He may have gotten our telephone number from someone
if he used our telephone number. And if he phoned here, nobody here has any
knowledge of ever talking to him."
Two months later, Millar said that he now thought, based on government sources, that McVeigh had, in fact, placed a two-minute phone call to Elohim City shortly before the bombing. Millar said the call came in to a private residence on the grounds, to a room where some of the residents gather for coffee, but that he found no one who remembered talking to McVeigh. By the following January, his story changed again: he now confirmed that a woman at the encampment took what was believed to be McVeigh's telephone call. He said that the caller was trying to reach Strassmeir (who had left the community about two months after the bombing). The woman said the caller claimed to have met Strassmeir at a gun show and wanted to know if he could visit the compound. Strassmeir was given the name and phone number but reportedly said he "didn't remember meeting this person." Millar said Strassmeir's decision to leave Elohim City was not linked to the bombing.
Strassmeir, who returned to Berlin in January 1996, was subsequently identified
as a 36-year-old Civil War buff from Germany, a former lieutenant in the German
army and the son of a prominent German politician. Reportedly enjoying the quasi-military
atmosphere that pervaded Millar's encampment, Strassmeir, through his attorney,
Kirk Lyons, gained a position as a security guard at the compound. According
to Lyons, Strassmeir hoped to marry an Elohim City woman and gain permanent
resident status in the United States
Connections with Extremists:
The Aryan Republican Army
While Timothy McVeigh never made it to Elohim City, others with anti-government
and racial resentments did. By the mid-1990s, the community had gained a well-earned
reputation as a gathering place for radical activists. Dennis Mahon, for instance,
a former imperial dragon in the Oklahoma Ku Klux Klan and an organizer for White
Aryan Resistance, had kept a trailer there; the enclave also welcomed four men
charged with conspiring to rob seven Midwestern banks -- including Mark Thomas,
a Pennsylvania Aryan Nations leader and an Identity minister ("Mark and I go
back a long way," Millar acknowledged); Mike Brescia, who moved to Elohim City
at Thomas's urging, stayed for nearly two years, and was engaged to Millar's
step-granddaughter; Scott Stedeford; and Kevin McCarthy. The group, part of
a gang known as the Aryan Republican Army, committed 22 robberies of Midwest
banks in 1994 and 1995, stealing more than $250,000 in order to finance white
supremacist causes. Millar denied having any prior knowledge of the bank robberies.
Thomas, whose Pennsylvania farm had been a meeting place for neo-Nazis, skinheads
and other white racist groups, pleaded guilty in February 1997 to conspiring
to rob banks and promised to cooperate with authorities. Both Stedeford and
McCarthy were already in prison, stemming from some of the Midwest robberies;
Brescia was being held without bail at the time. That same month, a Columbus,
Ohio, jury convicted Peter Langan, one of the two ringleaders of the gang (the
other committed suicide in prison), of five bank robbery-related charges. Langan
faced similar charges in other states as well, including a conspiracy charge
in Philadelphia; the Philadelphia indictment stated that gang members sometimes
used Elohim City as a refuge. McCarthy, testifying in the Langan case, said
that Thomas encouraged young white supremacists to make pilgrimages to Elohim
In June 2001, the New York Post reported that pictures of McVeigh are displayed throughout
Elohim City. It quoted an unnamed government informer who visited there in the last year as
saying: "McVeigh is a hero inside Elohim City. They look upon him 'as a martyr to their cause.'"
Connections with Extremists: The Kehoe Brothers
Elohim City also provided a safe harbor to white supremacists Cheyne and Chevie
Kehoe, who captured public attention in 1997 when an Ohio Highway Patrol cruiser's
video camera filmed their shootout with state officers and their subsequent
escape. At the time, both were targets of a national manhunt as suspects in
the murders of an Arkansas gun dealer, his wife, and daughter, whom Chevie Kehoe
had robbed months before. Millar conceded that the two men formerly had spent
time at Elohim City: in fact, at least one of the brothers had received weapons
training at the compound, Cheyne Kehoe had lived on and off there for three
years and the Kehoe family often wintered at the settlement.
In June 1997, accompanied by his Identity pastor, Cheyne Kehoe surrendered
to authorities at his home in Washington and revealed the whereabouts of his
fugitive brother, who was subsequently arrested. In February 1998, Cheyne was
convicted of assault and attempted murder in the Ohio shooting and sentenced
to 24 years in prison. His older brother pleaded guilty to state charges in
Ohio and agreed to a prison sentence of up to 20 years.
In addition, in December 1997, an Arkansas grand jury indicted Chevie Kehoe and Daniel Lee for the murder of the Arkansas family, racketeering and conspiracy in connection with financing a plot to overthrow the United States government and establish a so-called Aryan
People's Republic; in May 1999, an Arkansas jury sentenced Lee to death and Kehoe to life imprisonment. Millar has said that he had no knowledge of criminal activity on Kehoe's part.
Fear of an Apocalypse
Millar's affinity for the company of some of the most radical activists on
the far right was in keeping with the apocalyptic tenor of his teachings -- an
apocalypticism that characterizes Identity generally. His measured, almost grandfatherly
tones notwithstanding, he taught his followers that a biblical period of tribulation had
begun and that worse is to come when "Asiatics" invade America. "I abhor war,
but it is a foregone conclusion," he said. In August 1999, he clarified, to
a degree, his frequent but vague references to an imminent battle: "A civil
war is brewing in which we must deal with the Jews. It is a time of reckoning
for their pact with the devil."
In June 2001, Robert Millar's son, John, took over as leader of Elohim City. He was quoted
at the time as saying: "We're suffering a big loss. But I can truly say, the same one who led him
will lead us."
1In August 1993, The Balance, a publication of the CAUSE Foundation
-- a legal defense group whose head, attorney Kirk Lyons, described himself
as an "active sympathizer" of his far-right clients' causes -- reported that
law officers were looking for a suspect wanted for alleged possession of an
unregistered machine gun who was "known to be around Elohim City." The publication
declared: "We believe that this information distributed to the law enforcement
agencies is a prelude to a Branch Davidian-type raid. There are many parallels
between the Branch Davidians and Elohim City. Both are known to be opposed to
the government, are a religious separatist community, and have legal weapons
to defend themselves." It added, "As a preemptory [sic] measure, Rev. Millar
has signed a power of attorney to empower CAUSE Foundation to represent him
and his parishioners should a confrontation with the government develop." No
such confrontation occurred.

The average gas price in Greeley is $3.06, but some savvy shoppers are finding prices in Greeley below $3 a gallon for the first time in two years.
"It's lower than it used to be," said Jack LaBonde of Greeley. "I did notice."
LaBonde, filling up his Ford Explorer at the King Soopers gas station on 11th Avenue for $2.93 per gallon, said he drives all over northern Colorado for work and has noticed a difference when he fills up the company car.
"I don't think they are going to go lower," he said of the prices. "But I hope they stay this way for a while."
In Greeley, gas prices have dropped 27 cents since the beginning of the month, according to AAA Colorado. And Greeley is below the national average, which is $3.24.
This time last year, Greeley's gas price average hovered around the same at $3.06, but in 2010, gas was $2.77, according to AAA Colorado. The last time gas prices dipped below $3 was 2010.
"I do look in the paper and it showed what gas was this time last year," LaBonde said. "You think it's lower or higher, but it puts it in perspective. I remember $4 was when I really started paying attention."
According to GasBuddy.com, a rise in prices may be just around the corner. Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum Analyst, said in a release through the site that the national average has risen between Dec. 25 and Jan. 15 six of the past seven years. DeHaan said in the past five years, the average raise in that time period has been 10 cents.
"Perhaps the next logical question would be why prices have a tendency to rise going into the New Year?" DeHaan said in the release. "I surmise it is because of year-end inventory movements made by oil refineries. The amount of supply contained in storage facilities historically begins to draw down in the last couple weeks of the year as refineries hunker down and make movements for tax purposes. This also helps their bottom line ... with gasoline prices rising between Christmas and the following Jan. 15 six out of the last seven years."
GasBuddy.com" target="_blank">Text">GasBuddy.com also reported that even with these brief relief in price, 2012 will go down as the year with the highest prices.

Bukkake occurs when a group of men, perhaps 50 or more, manually stimulate themselves to climax and proceed to squirt warm ectoplasm onto the face, hair, body, or into the eyeballs, ears or mouth of a waiting and willing female. The female will sometimes decide to swallow the creamy ejaculate and utilize the energy and protein it provides to rejuvenate her and allow her to heartily receive two further litres of semen onto her now apparently yogurt and glue covered visage. Bukkake originated in Japan, but is now widely practised throughout the world.
Hey honey, do you want to go engage in a 100 man bukkake session? Good. Don't bother having dinner tonight alright? Oh, and don't bother going to the spa for a facial today either.

The preparation of noodles (Japanese reference)
You'll need to bukkake before you make the pasta sauce
dodane przez Black Lotus sierpień 16, 2005
"To ejaculate onto a persons face". I am not sure ho accurate this is but it is my understanding that the practice of 'bukkake" originated in feudal Japan when the warrior caste wanted to teach women a lesson, or put then in their place. The men of the village or samurai collectively ejaculated onto the woman's face in public. Although the vernacular term is also used to describe a way of preparing noodles, and is related to splashing water.
"I just bought the lates bukkake video and it is gross"

Download a Luc Carl Kindle book FREE!
Luc Carl brought untold (and told) mirth to several of my days last year. We had a highly amusing phone interview, then I met him in person at Barnes and Noble for a reading from and signing of his book, The Drunk Diet.
I talked to him for an April Fool's Day story last year on what we called "no-joke workouts." His was by far the most fun, although the others were rather entertaining, too. Click here to read the story which includes an interview with Luc as well as the author of Felon Fitness: How to Get a Hard Body Without Doing Hard Time (I am not making these up).
All this to say that I happened upon Luc's book while going on amazon.com today. And guess what? You can download the Kindle version of Tales From the Drunk Diet for the whopping price of — well, nothing. I'm not sure what this "Tales From…" means, but hey, it's free and we are all about the free around here.

CHARLES TOWN - Local author Bob O'Connor has published his eighth book, his fifth historical fiction account of the Civil War.
The new book, entitled "The Return of Catesby," is actually a sequel to one of his earlier books, "Catesby: Eyewitness to the Civil War." O'Connor is a Sunday community columnist for The Journal.
O'Connor's latest book follows a real colored blacksmith who was a slave to Colonel Lewis Washington, who lived at Beall Air in Charles Town. Catesby and the other slaves along with their owner had been captured by John Brown in the raid at the Harpers Ferry arsenal in 1859.
Article Photos
Much of this story takes place on the campus of Storer College, one of the country's first black colleges, established by the Free Will Baptist Church and a $10,000 grant from Reverend John Storer to educate newly freed slaves in Harpers Ferry. Catesby was the first colored teacher at the school.
Storer College buildings today are part of the Mather Training Center and the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. There are two Storer College displays one in the lower town and on the Storer campus.
Catesby's opportunity to testify at the Captain Henry Wirz trial in Washington (Wirz was commandant of Andersonville Prison), his special association with Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and his days as assistant to Pennsylvania legislator Harold Quinn in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania are important elements of the story. The tale is based on Catesby's journals, papers and letters.
"'Catesby Eyewitness to the Civil War' has always been my favorite book," O'Connor said. "I had intended all along to write a sequel. Those who have read that book will find this book equally captivating. Local people will recognize many of the scenes and events of this book."
Although a sequel, the new book can certainly be read as a stand-alone book, O'Connor said.
O'Connor admittedly writes about local stories of the Civil War. And he likes to use real people as his main characters. Local readers will find that Martin R. Delany, the first black line officer in the U.S. Army and a native of Charles Town, is an important character in this book.
O'Connor's next two books, however, are more broad-reaching.
"I am researching the black prisoners of war in Confederate prisons. No one has ever tracked them before," he said. "I have discovered the names of over 1,400 and am only about half way through the U.S. Colored Troop regimental rosters. That will come out on-line for researchers and also in printed form. I am also in the process of completing a book covering the events leading up to the formation of the new state of West Virginia, which officially became a state on June 20, 1863. That book will be called 'Countdown to West Virginia Statehood.'"
O'Connor is currently submitting a weekly column to The Journal on the topic. "Countdown to Statehood" runs each Tuesday.
The author has been a finalist four times in national book awards. He has spoken more than 150 times in 17 states the past two years about his books. His books are published by Infinity Publishing, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, Spoken Books Publishing and Mont Clair Books, both which are divisions of Infinity Publishing.
His other books are: "A House Divided Against Itself"; "The Perfect Steel Trap Harpers Ferry 1859"; "The Virginian Who Might Have Saved Lincoln"; "The U.S. Colored Troops at Andersonville Prison"; The Centennial History of Ranson, West Virginia"; "The Life of Abraham Lincoln as President"; and Catesby: Eyewitness to the Civil War". "The Virginian Who Might Have Saved Lincoln" is also available as an audio book.
His books are available at Patterson's Drug Store in Martinsburg, Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown, and Turn the Page Books in Boonsboro, Md. They may also be purchased online at www.boboconnorbooks.com, at www.buybooksontheweb.com and will be available soon at www.amazon.com. Several of the author's books are also available for purchase as e-books.

High-throughput screening (HTS) has allowed researchers to conduct large-scale biochemical assays for the rapid identification of active compounds, antibodies, or genes of interest. In order to ensure that potential drug candidates are accurately identified, with minimal off-target effects, high-throughput assays are incorporated as the starting point for drug design, as well as to provide a deeper understanding of various intra-cellular and cell-cell interactions.
With the ability to screen a wide range of static assays against a comprehensive library of candidate compounds, HTS provides a means of identifying and analyzing cellular events, including kinase activation/inhibition, up/down regulation of signal transduction pathways, and apoptosis. The assays that are incorporated into any one screening campaign are dependent on the therapeutic targets, which can include cancer, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation. However, for any assay, a precise and accurate method of liquid dispensing is essential to reduce the chances of incurring any potential error.
The need for accurate dispensing of liquid volumes has ensured that multichannel liquid dispensers have become a mainstay in the majority of drug discovery laboratories. Such liquid transfer is often used in the dilution of concentrated stock solutions, which will subsequently be dispensed across the assay plate for analysis. However, there is the potential for error when creating any dilutions, as well as when dispensing compound solutions into the assay plate, which can propagate into false positive or negative results in the initial screen.
With additional uses in the pharmacological proofing of compounds, liquid-handling instrumentation has the capability to accurately perform repeated dispensing, mixing, and aspiration cycles in successive wells. The resulting drug titrations or dose-response curves can then be used to determine the potency of the drug candidates during the primary screen. Accuracy is, therefore, key in the creation of these dilution series to ensure that the most potent compounds are selected and moved forwards for further analysis, minimizing the time required for hit-to-lead and lead-to-market.
Due to the minute volumes typically handled during HTS, most commonly on the microliter scale, inaccuracies of just 1 µL can have an adverse effect on experimental integrity through the production of false positive or negative results. Although this is not detrimental to experimental data, false positives can significantly reduce laboratory efficiency.
Minimizing the number of false positives incurred will, therefore, aid in the reduction of unnecessary re-tests, while minimizing reagent loss. In addition, false negatives can lead to lost opportunities and the need for more regular and extensive re-testing to identify any potential lead compounds, which have been missed.
In order to ensure that dispensed volumes are highly accurate, we investigate the dispensing precision of microliter volumes using the Thermo Scientific Versette liquid-dispensing automation platform from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Figure). Performance was validated across a wide volume range using a single-, 8-, 12-, and 96-channel pipetting head to ensure accuracy and precision over the instrument's complete capability range.

Big SCC cut would not faze most dairies
Big SCC cut would not faze most dairies
National Milk Producers Federation announced last week it will seek a reduction in the maximum allowable somatic cell count for raw milk under the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance at the next meeting of the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments beginning April 28, 2011, in Baltimore.
The proposed cut from the current 750,000 limit that has been in effect since July 1, 1993, to just 400,000 over a three-year period may look big, but the reality is that most dairies are already there.
NMPF's plan calls for phasing in the reduction: to 600,000 on January 1, 2012, to 500,000 a year later, and to 400,000 a year after that. The cuts would make U.S. milk quality standards among the most stringent in the world and equal to those in the European Union.
Fortunately, most dairies in the U.S. already easily meet the proposed lower standard. According to the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, milk weighted average bulk tank SCC in the U.S. in 2009 was 227,000 and 75 percent of all milk shipments were under 400,000.
NMPF President and CEO Jerry Kozak likes the proposal's chances. "I think it's extremely likely this will happen," he said. "I have no doubt that because the industry itself, the producer side, is going to go to the NCIMS meeting with a transitional plan to get to 400,000, that the state health authorities are going to embrace it and the Food and Drug Administration itself is going to eventually endorse it."

Companies See the Sign: Become a REIT
These days it seems everyone wants to be a REIT.
CBS joins a small, but growing pool of companies that are seeking to hitch a ride on the real estate gravy train by folding nontraditional properties into a real estate investment trust.
In CBS's case, the media conglomerate said late Wednesday that it wants to spin-off its U.S. billboards into a REIT operated under its CBS Outdoor subsidiary. CBS is following on the heels of casino operator Penn National Gaming, prison operator Corrections Corporation of America and rival billboard owner Lamar Advertisingpany, which are all considering REIT conversion plans American Tower, which develops cell phone towers, was the only company (excluding private REITs) to actually convert into a public REIT in 2012.
"Converting to a REIT has taken on the same meaning as dot.com did in 1998," said David Harris, an analyst at Imperial Capital LLC.
It's a good time to be a REIT, particularly in an era of rising taxes. REITs largely avoid corporate taxes if they pay 90% of their taxable income to investors via dividends. REITs are also extremely popular among investors, particularly those at retirement age because they provide high and stable dividends. REITs delivered a total return of nearly 20% in 2012, beating the S&P 500 Index's 16% gain. REITs outpaced the index for the fourth consecutive year.
"A lot of different and nontraditional companies are looking for ways to cash in on their real-estate holdings," said Paul Adornato, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets.
But some of these companies maybe a hard sell to investors initially because they're not your garden variety REITs like office, hotels, apartments and retail landlords.
"Everyone knows what an office is…what a mall is. When there is a new sector, there is a bit of hesitation until the investor base understands it," said Alexander Goldfarb, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill.
Mr. Adornato noted that although a billboard REIT is one of the most unusual concepts, it's not too far off from other nontraditional REITs like self-storage, timber and tower.
"Over time, they gained acceptance," among investors, he said. "If they're able to create a growth business model, then I don't see any reason why the traditional REIT investors will not be interested in this company."

NIAGARA FALLS – The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and 10,000 Maniacs will perform at two free concerts this month on Old Falls Street.
The orchestra will perform Saturday, with 10,000 Maniacs following July 27.
Each concert runs from 5 to 10 p.m. and will feature an opening performance from Slyboots School of Music and Art in Buffalo.
Members of LehrerDance,a professional dance company in Buffalo, will be featured as part of the orchestra's performance.
Three Western New York bands will help open the 10,000 Maniacs concert – Aircraft, The Albrights and The Tins.
Ryan Coate, general manager of Global Spectrum, the firm that manages Old Falls Street and Conference Center Niagara Falls, said he expects the concerts will each draw more than 2,000 people.
"With all of the momentum and positive feedback we have been receiving on Old Falls Street thus far this summer, we thought it was most appropriate to bring these larger-scale concerts to the street," Coate said in a statement. "Global Spectrum was able to team up with many local businesses to bring these world-class artists to downtown Niagara Falls in a venue that both residents and outside guests can enjoy."
Food and beverage vendors will be on site for the concerts, which will be held rain or shine.

5 Terrifying Things Found in the Last Place You'd Expect
#2. Parasites in Tacos
"A thing of the past," they say. "It's a problem we've taken care of, mostly thanks to USDA regulations and the like," they claim. And for the most part, "they" are correct -- getting a tapeworm from eating undercooked pork is a rarity in the U.S. these days, but that definitely doesn't mean that the problem no longer exists. Rather, much like your factory job, the task of infecting consumers with tapeworms has been outsourced to Mexico. And it appears there's an extra twist to the traditional "intestinal tract full of worms" doomsday scenario we grew up with.
Dawn Becerra, an Arizona woman, recently fell ill after eating a taco during a trip to Mexico. The thing is, the trip to Mexico wasn't quite so recent. In fact, it was three years ago. If you're thinking that's an absurdly long gestation period for a case of food poisoning, you're absolutely correct. But it wasn't food poisoning that sent Becerra into the cold embrace of a hospital surgery table. No, it was a worm that crawled into her brain and died.
If you look real close, you can see the tiny funeral his friends are holding.
And that's the part about the raw pork story that, somewhere along the line, I personally (and I suspect many of you) somehow missed. Tapeworms I've heard of; tapeworms that crawl into your brain, die and start decaying (in turn giving you brain cysts and sporadic seizures) are slightly less familiar.
Brain-infesting tapeworms are a terrifyingly common thing in Latin America, though. They're transmitted when someone comes into contact with the creature's eggs (conveniently located wherever human poop is dropped) and doesn't wash their hands properly before handling that delicious food cart taco that Anthony Bourdain swore you had to try next time you were in Mexico.
"But that's where all the flavor comes from!"
Upon ingesting the parasite, it attaches to your intestinal wall, where it forms into a worm, moves into your bloodstream and, from there, goes into your brain. Through that entirely undesirable process, you suffer no noticeable effects, other than having to double up on your daily calorie intake since you're now eating for two. The problems start when the worm dies inside your head, swelling the tissue around it and giving you a series of seizures that can only be stopped by digging into your brain and extracting the dead worm.
In the case of Becerra, the surgery had to be performed while she was awake. She received only mild anesthesia and acupuncture for the pain. Keep that in mind next time you're contemplating some kind of bizarre-foods tour through Latin America.
#1. Snakes in Toilets
In one of Cracked's beloved series of articles about creepy urban legends that actually happened, we touched on the unsettling phenomenon of rats just magically appearing inside the toilets of unready and rightfully horrified homeowners. But an equally-with-a-chance-of-more-horrifying creature turns up in shitters just as often as rats. That creature, it pains me to report, is the snake.
How many of you reading this in the bathroom just did a double check?
Because nothing awful is worth happening if it's not happening in New York, a man in that state was brushing his teeth in preparation for a day of work when he noticed a California king snake just hanging out in his toilet. His reaction, of course, was to grab a bottle of Clorox Green Works and direct its full destructive fury at the defenseless reptile. Shockingly, this had absolutely no effect on the snake, or at least no effect that would prevent it from turning the next person with a digestive emergency into another statistic on the list of weird ways people get injured (or worse).
If you think there just aren't enough snakes in your area for this to ever be a risk to you, then I'd direct your attention to this line from the New York toilet snake story:
"What I'm being told is that it came from somewhere within the sewer line so it had to come from somewhere within the complex."
"And that's when I decided that this whole homeless thing might be right for me."
Right, so even if you live in the least snake-friendly climate imaginable, that dipshit who listens to death metal nonstop in the apartment above could inadvertently lose track of one of his 15 pet snakes, only to have it turn up just inches from your ass when you're at one of your most vulnerable moments.
And if you think this guy's story is an isolated incident, there are a few videos ...
... you should probably see ...
Oh, and for good measure, here's a bat in a toilet, too ...
That's a lot of terror in a lot of toilets. If the thought of a surprise snake in the toilet doesn't make you at least a little bit uneasy, it's likely because you poop standing up.
