Happy World Giraffe Day!
Guest blogger: Kristina Meek, Wild Encounters
Have you fed a giraffe lately?
A little girl, maybe five years old, stretches her hand toward me, bits of dollar bills poking from between her small, clenched fingers. Her pink shirt bears the outline of a stubby giraffe with prominent eyes and smiling mouth. Among his spots are a couple drops of blue, evidence of the blueberry ice cream the child must have recently enjoyed. "Would you like to feed a giraffe?" I say. She nods her head slowly, seeming afraid to smile. "She's been so excited to do this," chimes the woman behind her, likely her grandmother. "Giraffes are her favorite."
Working at the Cincinnati Zoo's Giraffe Ridge, guiding guests in hand-feeding the world's tallest land mammal, rewards the soul and the funny bone daily. I'm privileged to accept the girl's crumpled three dollars and direct her to the railing of the deck, where another Interpreter of Wildlife and Fun shows her how to hold out lettuce leaves for eager young Jambo. She moves with caution as she gets closer and realizes the animal's head is larger than her whole kindergartener body. But she accepts the lettuce and stretches her arm toward the netting, where 15-foot Jambo happily slurps it away. A smile takes over the girl's face. Her eyes dance, she brings her hands together in front of her ice cream-spattered shirt and bounces up and down on her heels. Her grandmother, so taken by the sight, has forgotten to take a photo. "Do it again!" shouts Grandma. For the second piece of lettuce (feeders get two per experience) Grandma is ready to make her Facebook friends' day… and remember this moment for life.
It's World Giraffe Day and the perfect time to appreciate these spotted giants around the world and here at the Cincinnati Zoo, where we're privileged to share four of them with the visiting public. Ours are Maasai Giraffes, the largest of nine subspecies, native to Kenya and Tanzania.
To say a giraffe is an incredible animal doesn't convey their majesty, their beauty, and their personalities, things you can't fully appreciate until you're face-to-face with one. In the short time that I've been part of the Wild Encounters team, helping with feedings, I personally haven't ceased to wonder at them each day, and evidence of their impact streams across the deck in the form of Zoo guests, ranging from nervous to ecstatic. As amazing as the giraffes are to behold in the Zoo, anyone who has seen them in the wild can attest to another whole level of awe. Fortunately, the Zoo provides a close-to-home encounter.
Giraffe feeding is the great leveler. It's not just five-year-old girls who light up. It's babies in their parents arms, boisterous school groups, tribes of teen-aged friends, middle-aged couples, elderly folks, people of every color and culture, from Mennonites to Chinese tourists, English-speaking or not, and individuals with every kind of disability.
I saw a blind woman blown away by the feeling of the giraffe's breath on her arm and the wet tongue brushing her hand. I had a retirement-aged woman walk up and say, "I don't have a child with me or anything. I'm just by myself, but this is on my bucket list." I saw a teen boy who was clearly over hanging out with his parents all day, grin from ear to ear but then give his second piece of lettuce to his dad saying, "You HAVE try this." There was one little boy who just couldn't. Stop. Laughing. The whole time… Others cry. I'll admit to having cried along with one or two of them.
In 1889, the Cincinnati Zoo became the first zoo in the Western Hemisphere to welcome a baby giraffe, a tradition that has taken breaks but continues today. Tessa and Kimbaumbau (Kimba), designated by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) as a match for breeding, arrived in 2010. Cece and Jambo joined them in 2013. Regulars and staff members have their favorites. Kimba, the male, is breathtaking in his sheer size, 16.5 feet with eyes the size of racquetballs. Tessa, the oldest, is graceful and sometimes shy to approach the deck. Cece and Jambo have been getting a lot of attention since we announced that each is carrying a baby, and no one can miss Jambo's "messy" hair atop her ossicones.
According to the Wild Nature Institute, only about 80,000 giraffes remain in the wild. As a keystone species, their well-being affects the well-being of whole habitats. Over the past few years, the Zoo has supported the work of the Wild Nature Institute to conduct photographic mark-recapture surveys of Maasai giraffe in the fragmented Tarangire Ecosystem of northern Tanzania. A portion of the proceeds from our Gentle Giants: Private Giraffe Encounter program supports this effort.
I invite you to join us for giraffe feeding every day throughout the summer, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. We hope that by meeting giraffes up close, at our Zoo or others, you'll find the inspiration to take action.
Today my favorite visitor is Robbie. He's about three years old. He and his big sis have just finished feeding, and now their parents just want them to pose for a moment with Cece behind them. Mom holds up her phone ready to snap, saying "Look at Mommy!" Sister faces the camera, posed and smiling, but Robbie is turned 180 degrees away, stock still and agog at the giraffe's face on the other side of the netting. "Robbie! Robbie, turn around!" Mom pleads, glancing anxiously at the long line of people waiting. I'm happy to give her a couple of minutes to capture the shot. "Robbie, look at Mommy!" Big sister tugs at Robbie's arm, encouraging him to turn. He's mesmerized. Finally, Mom smiles and slips her phone into her purse. She's just happy to see him happy. She takes his hand and guides him away to his next adventure.

Endangered Texas Ocelots: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Thanks to all who came out to AAZK's Cinco de Gato fundraiser on May 15 to support Texas ocelot conservation! We had a fantastic time at Ladder 19. Great food and drinks, and Sihil, our ocelot ambassador, was a star as usual. With your help, we were able to raise more than $2,000 to support ocelot conservation through the Friends of Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge.
The endangered Texas ocelot needs our help more than ever. Over the past year, seven of the estimated 80 remaining Texas ocelots were killed by vehicles. Six of these mortalities were adult males. Among ocelots, it is not easy to be a maturing male. In order to prevent competition for access to breeding females, older males often force the younger males to leave the area where they grew up, sending them out to find females and territory of their own. Once out of protected, dense brush habitat areas, these younger males encounter the human-developed world and all of its dangers, in particular roads and vehicles. In reaction to the large proportion of road mortalities being males, Dr. Hilary Swarts, a wildlife biologist who monitors ocelots in south Texas with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) said, "I can't say it's surprising that six of the seven deaths were males, since they have such a rough time of it once the older males start to see the younger males as competition for mates and territory."
It is also not a great surprise to see that three of the seven deaths occurred on Highway 186, which bisects optimal ocelot habitat. Though road signs warning of wildlife were posted in the high risk stretch of Highway 186 in November 2015, thanks to actions by Willacy County officials and the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), signs alone did not reduce the threat of vehicle collision to ocelots.
This terrible run of ocelot road mortalities emphasizes the crucial need for under-the-road wildlife crossings to allow ocelots and other wildlife to pass under roads to avoid vehicles. USFWS and TXDOT have worked hard to establish ocelot road crossings in areas south of the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. In the future, they plan to establish crossings in other areas where recent ocelot deaths have occurred, particularly on Highway 186.
The good news is that construction of wildlife underpasses has already begun on FM106, a road that borders and runs through excellent ocelot habitat on the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. Ocelots have been killed there in the past. The first ocelot crossing was installed on April 27, 2016 and the next one is underway. A series of eight crossings in total is planned for roads near the refuge. Once installed, crossings will be monitored to see how ocelots and other wildlife respond. "This is new terrain for us, since wildlife crossings have not really been built in ocelot habitat before. It will be very interesting to see what our wildlife crossing monitoring program reveals about when and how ocelots and other wildlife use the newly installed crossings" Swarts said.
Another positive development is that this summer, TXDOT will begin installing a series of four ocelot crossings on State Highway 100, which has been the site of five known ocelot mortalities over the years. USFWS is also working with partners and neighboring landowners to establish permanent wildlife corridors for ocelots and other species in the area around Highway 100. These targeted wildlife corridors are made of suitable habitat that will connect protected areas, and provide a safer travel route to the wildlife crossings that are being constructed.
With such a small population, every ocelot is important to the population's survival. Past data have shown that 40% of identified ocelots were killed by vehicles. The new era of installing wildlife crossings on roadways in areas where ocelots live will be one of the most important ongoing actions for ocelot conservation in south Texas.

The Power of Connections: Endangered Species Day
Guest blogger: Kristina Meek, Wild Encounters
There are currently 16,306 plants and animals listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). That's more people than visit our Zoo on a typical spring day.
It's Endangered Species Day, so you might hear a lot of shocking numbers like this, which could understandably put a damper on your day. If you wanted to make a difference, which of the 16,000+ would you even choose to start with? Well, you don't have to choose. All plant and animal life is interconnected, which means that by taking small actions that support a healthy ecosystem, you can benefit all species, including our own!
If you're visiting our blog, you're probably passionate about animals and the environment. That passion gives you power. Let's look at how you can harness your power to make Endangered Species Day the start of significant change.
What does "endangered" actually mean?
It's a good idea to first understand what we mean by the term. In the 1990s, the IUCN developed the Red List of Threatened Species™, widely recognized as the standard for evaluating a plant or animal's risk of extinction. They rank species along a continuum from "least concern," to "vulnerable," followed by "endangered," the more serious "critically endangered," and finally, "extinct." Watch this video to learn more.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also maintains a list of endangered species, as do state and local agencies. Around our Zoo and others, you might see signs that display an animal's IUCN classification. For example, you'll see that the red pandas are considered "vulnerable," while the black rhinos are "critically endangered."
Taking action
As we've said, one positive environmental action holds the potential to affect a lot of different areas. We're all living on the same planet, so shopping with reusable bags here in Cincinnati really does have ripple effects for polar bears in the Arctic!
Here at the Zoo, you can bring us your old cell phone for recycling, which reduces the need for mining metals in endangered gorilla habitat to make new ones. Go a step further by collecting phones at your school or around your neighborhood.
You can also support our many conservation field efforts. Cheetahs, western lowland gorillas, and keas are just a few of the species we're actively involved with conserving in the wild. When we work to protect these animals' habitats, we also benefit countless other species with whom they share space.
You don't need to limit your choices to those you can carry out at the Zoo. Change can begin in your own backyard…literally. Plant native plant species in your yard. They'll attract native insects which, in turn, will attract other native species that eat them, and native species that eat them. More pollinating insects means more native plants and, you see, the cycle really gets going!
Good news
As a team, organizations accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), like ours, have made strides in restoring more than 30 species to healthy wild populations, including the American bison, the California condor and a variety of aquatic species. (Read more about AZA efforts here.)
There has been good news just over the past year. In 2015, the IUCN moved the Iberian lynx from "critically endangered" to the less severe "endangered." The Guadalupe fur seal went from "threatened" down to "least concern." The global community has taken new interest in restricting trophy hunting thanks, in part, to the publicity surrounding Cecil the lion's tragic death. Change can happen.
And just last week, we received good news for a critically endangered species that is near and dear to our hearts, the Sumatran rhino. A female rhino calf was born on May 12 at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary (SRS) in Indonesia. The calf's father, Andalas, was born here at the Zoo in 2001 and moved to the SRS in 2007. With fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos left on the planet, this birth is significant for the species, and we are proud to have played a part in it.
There are infinite choices you can make to promote positive change, but you'll be most successful if you start with one or two that really speak to you. You'll help ensure that currently endangered animals are still around for your children and grandchildren to enjoy and, more importantly, you'll improve life on Earth for all of us.
And be sure to tell your friends and family. The power of your passion is contagious!
"The quality of our life on this earth is dependent on how we treat the rest of life on Earth. We have a moral responsibility to look after the rest of the world, the future of which now lies in our hands." –David Attenborough

There are more and more people that are in need of some charity today, and surprisingly, more and more people are signing up to help them. There are numerous organizations out there that are trying to make a difference, and contrary to our belief, more and more people are trying to help them achieve that. But, not everyone knows exactly how to donate to charity, and that is exactly why we decided to write this article; to help you in that. So, just follow these simple steps, and you'll be able to help out your fellow man.
First, you must find a cause for which you are going to fight, or for which you are going to donate. Make sure you investigate the organization to which you are donating, in order not to get scammed. There are some lousy people out there that are trying to get some profit out of people's misfortune, and you should stay away from those. Donate to some respected organization, such as Red Cross or Salvation Army, or some university charitable organization, such as C.A.P.A.
Click here to learn more
Then, you should decide how much you are going to donate. You don't have to donate much, if you don't have much. Also, you don't have to donate money, you can donate old clothes, or some of the old items that you are not using any more. There is even a story about a highly rated carpet cleaning in Kingwood that had donated some carpets and some money. Donate everything you can, because everything can be put to use.
You can also organize some yard sales of fund raising to collect some money, and then donate it in the name of your organization. Do whatever you do to help, because no one will think any less of you because you donated as a group. In fact, they will thing highly of you, because you did something to spread the word, and to get more people to help out. Sometimes, this can be more useful than donating, because sometimes, by spreading the word, the word comes to the right people who are willing to donate, but just have not heard about that cause. So, spreading the word is just as important as donating.
And finally, it should also be told that donating to charity is great,. But you should never donate every single penny you have. Donate something you can live without, or donate some money that won't affect your home budget. If you become too obsessed with donating, you might end up with nothing, and that is something you don't want. So, donate in reasonable measure, and never go too far.
Read More
So, as we have see, there are more ways to donate to charity. You can donate some money, you can donate your old clothes, donate some of the old stuff you're not using any more, etc. But, the most important thing about donating is spreading the word, which is something all of us should do. However, we should keep in mind only to donate the stuff we don't need and the amounts of money that won't affect us that much.

'I hear these songs and see the flawless story I wanted to write' – The Undercover Soundtrack, KM Weiland
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on December 19, 2012
One of my earliest Undercover Soundtrack guests returns this week with a brand-new novel – and another beguiling musical journey. The story features a character whose life spans two timelines, which she envisaged in her head as having a soundtrack of two personalities. Aggressive guitar, driving percussion – softened by the melancholy lyricism of early Celtic folk songs. But she'd never heard such a thing in real life – until a chance listen one day expressed exactly what she'd been looking for. She is KM Weiland and she's on the Red Blog talking about the Undercover Soundtrack for her newest release, Dreamlander.

In brief: Judge rejects bond reduction in fatal crash
Judge rejects bond reduction in fatal crash
A judge has refused to lower the bond for a man accused in a crash that killed another man Oct. 17 in Fairview Township.
Ronald D. Hall Jr.'s lawyer, Charbel Latouf, had asked President Judge Ernest J. DiSantis Jr. to reduce Hall's $100,000 bond. Latouf said Hall, 43, was not a flight risk or a danger and the bond was unreasonable.
DiSantis, siding with Assistant District Attorney Lisa Ferrick, refused. He said Hall was free on bond in a separate DUI case at the time of the crash that claimed the life of Hall's passenger, Aaron P. Schaefer, 42, of Fairview. Hall also was accused of fleeing the scene of the crash at the intersection of Eaton and Tow Roads, DiSantis said.
Hall faces a charge of accident involving death or personal injury and two summary traffic violations.

I had a tummy tuck w/MR, breat aug (560cc) in each and lipo. My surgery was on the 15th of March and I was 170, 5.3 pounds of skin was removed from my tummy, and 900cc removed in lipo...a couple of days after surgery I was 180??? I know, I know lots of swelling, but my appetite was gone for the first week, I am now 10 days post op and have only went down to 176, what gives??? Honestly, I thought I would be around 168ish...what's going on?? TMI-I considered constipation but I am normal now.

Weighing yourself after surgery
Thank you for your question.
There are lots of fluid shifts at the time of surgery and afterwards. You are swollen for months after surgery.
It is not productive to be checking your weight after this procedure but rather you should be concentrating on the recovery process, a healthy diet and plenty of hydration.
Follow your surgeon's advice re: recovery and allow your body to heal.
You will see the results - be patient.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_tummyTuck.htm
Why Aren't the Scales Moving? I Had TT, BA and Lipo 10 days ago.
Thanks for the posted photos. Most likely you are fluid retaining. Best to discuss with your surgeon in more detail.
No weight loss after surgery
None of the procedures you listed is a weight losing procedure. The tummy tuck and liposuction are body contouring procedures. Despite removing a significant amount of skin and fat during a tummy tuck weight usually doesn't change much because the amount the removed tissue weighs is always less than you think. Also remember to add the weight of the relatively large implants.
Thank you for your question.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - As a couple of their country's best teenage baseball players more than a decade ago, Cesar Hernandez and Freddy Galvis became fast friends.
Although their respective hometowns in Venezuela are a few hundred miles apart, the two then-future Phillies infielders have known each other since Galvis was 13. They first met when Galvis' boyhood baseball team made the 4-hour drive to Valencia from Punto Fijo.
"The first time I went to his hometown to play, I stayed at his house," Galvis was saying yesterday at Bright House Field. "When they came back to us, he stayed at my house. So that's when we became good friends. We'd see each other every year. We became like family."

FOSDEM: Enterprise Linux for all, thanks to Centos
Dag Wieers of Project Centos made a passionate plea for more private users to turn to the free Red Hat Enterprise clone, and stressed that commercial companies with non-critical machines could also benefit from Centos.
The foundation of his argument lies in the difference between a stable Enterprise Linux and a modifiable community version. "Everyone should use Enterprise Linux," said Wieers, "not just companies." The Centos project distribution stems from the GPL licensed source texts of Red Hat's Enterprise software.
Wieers explained that while private users who, for example, administer their friends and relatives PCs, are more interested in simple maintenance, this for Wieers does not require a constant updating of the distro. Further, other private users are not helped when a chic-looking distribution tempts them to take the Linux plunge, only to be overwhelmed by a complicated system and then return to Windows with technological tails between their legs. With, Centos, all would benefit from a stable RHEL package, said Wieers.
After his speech, Wieers went on to tell Linux Magazine Online that even commercial companies with non-critical machines do not necessarily need Red Hat support. He admitted that initially, relations with Red Hat were not the easiest. This has changed, he said, with Red Hat more laid back about users, both private and those with a limited corporate agenda, using Centos, with Red Hat concentrating on corporations and larger companies, and the Centos community providing support for their own users. Wieers added that in any case, firms running critical setups are better off with Red Hat support.
Dag Wieers is a consultant who, even before the creation of Fedora, developed Red Hat packages in his spare time. His reason for not joining Fedora, he told Linux Magazine, was a lack of enthusiasm for quick release cycles.

CC Sabathia is among the best pitchers in MLB today. He signed a huge contract with the Yankees in the 2008 offseason. The 161 million dollar contract made Sabathia the highest paid pitcher in baseball history. In said contract CC was given an opt out clause after three seasons. Since the middle of last season all indications had been, Sabathia would stay in pinstripes for the foreseeable future.
Today CC made headlines by saying that he has not closed the door on the opt out clause. He told reporters I have no idea [if I will opt out,]" a noticeably lighter Sabathia said in the Yankees clubhouse Monday morning, as pitchers and catchers reported. "It is still in my contract. Anything is possible."
Sabathia still has four years left on his record-breaking contract. To go along with that he also has 90 million dollars on the table if he continues to play in New York. Hank Steinbrenner stated that he thinks Sabathia will stay, "I think he's happy here, and now he really knows what it's like to be a Yankee," Steinbrenner said. "Had another excellent year last year. I think he's here to stay."
So could this just be a ploy to get more money out of the Yankees? Sabathia has had two outstanding seasons in pinstripes so he does have leverage over the Yankee front office. In both of these seasons he has also pitched very well in postseason play. Yet it seems unlikely that at 31, Sabathia could secure another lucrative contract offer.
It would be a serious blow to the Yankees if CC did use the opt out clause. They missed out on Cliff Lee this offseason. Their rotation is already full of question marks, but without their ace left-hander it's hard to see how they could recover.
However, the following ten teams would love to see CC jump the Yankees ship.

Restore 4.0.0 Release for Debian and Ubuntu
Version 4.0.0 of the server-based backup and recovery software, Restore, has just been released. The developers have fixed various bugs in this version, and packetized the GPL'd software for Debian/Ubuntu systems.
The updated Debian packages are available for the current Debian version, Etch, and for the Ubuntu Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy releases. The project is also looking for package maintainers for Red Hat, Fedora and Suse/Opensuse. In addition to this Restore is also available as a live CD based on a Ubuntu Server version and as a virtual appliance. Restore is a product by US-based Holonyx, who earn their money with services. The Open Source software is licensed under the GPLv2. The backup and restore program runs on a Linux server. It backs up data from Linux/Unix computers on the network (using SSH/SFTP) and from Windows shares or Novell Netware volumes. In addition to this, it can create backups of MySQL databases. Administration uses a Web interface in any browser. Sufficiently granular user privileages can be set, according to the manufacturer, to support backup as a service for multiple clients. Incremental backups support restoring of specific file versions. Currently, the product is only available as a data center version. However, versions for SOHO users are planned for the future.

The Secret to Making Your Marriage LastKrishann Briscoe
At some point in our lives many of us have either heard these words or said them to someone else. What usually followed was a breakup and depending on who did the breaking up, some tears, and perhaps some retail therapy or watching sappy love movies on television while in your pajamas all day. However, in a marriage, space means something completely different. In my own experience it means a chance to be awesome at life as an individual. By awesome I mean, a chance for you to develop and pursue your own interests, relax and recharge or do whatever it is that makes you feel good about you. It helps you to be a better version of you. The payoff, and there are many, is that not only are you often happier and more satisfied with your life but you end up being a better partner.
And yet as glorious as being a better version of me sounds I suck at taking time for myself. I just do.
As it turns out, having space in your relationship may be even more valuable to your relationship than "a good sex life." Research has shown that couples where each spouse felt like they had both a sense of privacy and time for themselves were more likely to stay together.
No Duh! You might say. But it is easier said than done. For some of us anyway.
Here's the thing, we know we need space and that it is a good thing. But, as this article notes, often times us women are less likely to get it. We are reported to have less time to ourselves than men. Even if we work outside the home, we spend a large amount of time caring for our loved ones, communicating with our friends and planning various events. I know a lot of that is by choice but regardless it is less time we have for ourselves and for many of us, more time spent trying to make the people we love happy.
Some of us (me!) struggle to pull ourselves away from our families, even just for a little bit. With a new little one in the home, I am exhausted but at the same time I don't want to miss a moment because I know how quickly time flies. I've also got an eight year old and with each passing day I wonder when she will stop thinking I am the coolest person eveeeer. Then there's my husband. I've been working to love him better and making our relationship more of a priority which means I also want to spend time with him. There are only so many hours in the day but a lasting marriage (not to mention your sanity) is a pretty convincing reason to unplug, at least for a little while.
Even if you can't necessarily leave the house or aren't ready to or wanting to (new mamas or mamas with littles maybe?) there are things we can do to have a little space of our own while at home. Examples of such are an uninterrupted bubble bath (make sure that bathroom door has locks otherwise it will be interrupted, particularly if you have little ones at home) or some time spent reading your favorite blogs while drinking coffee before everyone wakes up in the morning.
Although girl's nights are fun and important if things don't work out to have one, we've still got to find a way to fly solo from time to time, even if it's just for an hour.
For some suggestions on how to go about getting some space be sure to read the article (Tip: Don't turn to your partner and declare "I need space!"). In the meantime, what are things you do to ensure that you and your spouse have some space and do you agree, is time spent apart more important than time spent making love? Does the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder apply when it comes to having space?

Fort Lauderdale Man Caught Allegedly Running International Fraud in Vancouver
Vancouver cops apparently thought it was a bit suspicious when they pulled over a guy with a bag full of mail. They were apparently right, after they discovered that the Fort Lauderdale resident was allegedly running an international, multimillion-dollar mail-fraud scheme.
Juan Hernandez, a 28-year-old Colombian citizen and Fort Lauderdale resident, was pulled over for an illegal turn last month when Vancouver traffic cops pulled him over, according to the Toronto Sun.
When the cops noticed he had a big bag o' mail on his passenger seat, they thought they'd gotten lucky and caught a mail thief. They got a little luckier than that.
Vancouver cops say they uncovered an international fraud based in Florida that covered ten countries, including several in Europe as well as New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.

A Vancouver police detective described the discovery of the fraud to that of a gift-giving fat man.
"To have this guy pulled over by patrol and he's got a bag of evidence sitting on his front seat, it's like Christmas," he told the Sun.
Hernandez had allegedly been ripping off old people with a mail fraud scam, sending letters to the victims claiming they'd won some lottery cash.
As a rich Nigerian prince once said, you have to send me some fee money first before I can send you your millions of dollars.
Hernandez allegedly sent the letters saying they needed to send him the $30 fee to give people their lottery winnings of around $2 million and apparently that worked against more than 5,000 people, according to the Sun.
He had apparently just gotten to the Vancouver area a few weeks before being caught and already had four post office boxes set up to receive his payments from victims, all between the ages of 68 and 94, the paper says.
The cops in Vancouver opened one of the post office boxes, which had 200 checks waiting for Hernandez.
Vancouver cops are reportedly working with authorities in the United States to find the rest of Hernandez's alleged fraud pals in Florida.

AT&T has confirmed to ArsTechnica that it is getting rid of Internet Preferences, a controversial program that analyzed home internet customers' web browsing habits in order to serve some targeted ads. From the report:"To simplify our offering for our customers, we plan to end the optional Internet Preferences advertising program related to our fastest Internet speed tiers," an AT&T spokesperson said. "As a result, all customers on these tiers will receive the best rate we have available for their speed tier in their area. We'll begin communicating this update to customers early next week." Data collection and targeted ads will be shut off, AT&T also confirmed. Since AT&T introduced Internet Preferences for its GigaPower fiber Internet service in 2013, customers had to opt into the traffic scanning program in order to receive the lowest available rate. Customers who wanted more privacy had to pay another $29 a month for standalone Internet access; bundles including TV or phone service could cost more than $60 extra when customers didn't opt in.

'Happily N'Ever After'
With shtick as dull as it is ill-natured, this tasteless inversion of the Cinderella story features the voice of Sigourney Weaver as a generically shrieky wicked stepmother who discovers she can tinker with fairy-tale endings, notably that of Cinders (Sarah Michelle Gellar), who sports a short black Audrey Hepburn 'do and a mistaken crush on a narcissistic prince (Patrick Warburton) brazenly ripped off from Beauty and the Beast's Gaston. Remember those fabulously giddy bits in Shrek that riffed on just about every fairy-tale character known to Western man? Well, here director Paul J. Bolger and screenwriter Rob Moreland have drained the affectionate wit out of the Shrek franchise's satire, giving us instead a barely sketched out story line and quantities of unimaginative CGI. I spent the movie scratching my head over which audience Lionsgate is hoping to tap with this noisy rubbish. YouTubers? Tots with A.D.D.?

"Duality: An Art Experiment" opens this Friday at East Van Studios in Vancouver. The show, created by photographer Shannyn Higgins, pairs 25 writers with 25 visual artists. The visual artists created works based on the words they were given by the writers. Shannyn photographed all 50 participants and has produced a book of the works and the people who made them.
Vancouver is a funny city in that a lot of different creatives don't hang together, there's a lot of different groups that don't seem to mingle much. I like that Shannyn's project brings together a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't cross paths. Lots of my friends are in this show, it's gonna be good!
Have a look at a bunch of Shannyn's portraits below!
Two of my favourite artists, Lernert Engelberts and Sander Plug (Lernert & Sander), are back with another humorous project. You might remember their last project where they combined every perfume launched in 2012 into 1.5L of a fragrance appropriately called "Everything".
This time they're unknitting garments by Céline, Chloé, Jil Sander and Prada, reducing them to balls of yarn. Watch the video for their latest work "Last Season" below!
Here's a little edit of some of this year's Pow! Wow! Hawaii murals, shot high above the Kaka'ako district of Honolulu, from a little drone helicopter.
Artists in order of appearance: Jessie Unterhalter and Katey Truhn, Ron English, Ekundayo, Meggs and Bask, Nychos and Buff Monster, Madsteez, and Andrew Schoultz. This is only a tiny glimpse, more to come!
Enjoy the video below!
Matt and Roxy Ortiz are a husband and wife artist duo, based in Honolulu, making work under the name Vers Hawaii. The couple are becoming known for their paintings of fantastical tree top villages that feature half-pipes and bowls.
I'm sure their work will remind most people of the Lost Boys hideout in Peter Pan but it actually reminds me of something a lot more obscure. Has anyone read Babar Visits Another Planet? I'm probably alone on this one but the floating houses on different levels, and the slides, totally make me think of it.
Take a look at more of their work below!
Jasper Wong (and his wife), and Kelly Towles, recently went big in Washington DC. The artists painted a six-story tall game of cat's cradle on an abandoned CIA building. More flicks below!
My friends Scien and Klor (123Klan) have just released a fantastic book (order it here) chronicling their work as artists on the street, and as a studio for clients like Nike, Stussy, Carhartt, many others.
Lots of great reference material here if you're a graphic designer! I get to keep a copy for myself and give the other one away, so who wants it?
If you wanna snag the book tell me the name of your graffiti crew (make one up if you don't actually have one) in the comments below!

I was going on lunch break an hour ago and one of my co-workers voiced his opinion on Sony's main muscle. His argument went approximately like this:
"I think the PS3's best days are gone. Microsoft and Nintendo have been outselling the thing for a time now and there aren't any great exclusives coming out in the next coming months (his assumption that LBP and KillZone won't live up to the hype I thought were wrong) and Microsoft is working on a new console (convientently bypassing PS3's BR Drive).
Aside from the fact that the Wii is catering to a whole different market, he's got a point in Microsoft's market share. But my opinion is that the PS3 is just gaining momentum after two difficult years. Exclusive powerhouses like LBP (which is, according to beta testers, gonna be completely awesome), Resistance 2, SOCOM and KillZone are, I think, able to increase sales of games and consoles significantly. Of course, only time will tell if I'm right or wrong.
So, what are your opinions about the current situation of Sony and the lot? Mind you, I'm not trying to argue one way or the other and I hate fanboyisms. So I would be very disappointed if my first 1up blog ever would devolve into a console war.

The Official Charlie the f'ing idiot Zelenoff Thread
Aww things just got awesome with this guy. For those who don't know, this is Charlie. Delusional, compulsive liar, meth head from LA. This thread is for all things Zelenoff.
He thought he was a pro boxer. Had one pro fight and lost to a guy by spitting his mouth guard out repeatedly until the ref called the fight. Oh yeah, and the guy Charlie lost to was 0-12.
Then Charlie thought he was an MMA fighter. Got his ass Kicked by his trainer and claimed he won the fight. Somehow he became 3-0 in MMA without ever fighting?
Then Charlie switches back to Boxing where he won two belts fighting a guy in a t-shirt and basketball shoes. There was no bell, no ref, no crowd, and no judges. Charlie considers himself a champ for that win. Oh yeah, and the guy who he fought threw two punches to Charlies body the entire time.
And tonight, the company that Charlie is the "champ" for dropped him live on his own radio show. LMAO. Now Charlie deleted the forum on his web site and the radio interview. Luckily someone saved it and started to spread it out. Damn this guy is funny to follow.
Charlies sites:
Topics dedicated to Charlie:
(This one is great. NOT work safe.)
All you need to know about Charlie Z:
Wheres the vid where his "promoter" drops him?
It's hilarious. Charlies voice starts cracking after like he's going to cry. Then he starts saying "But I'm the champ. It doesn't matter I'm the champ" LOL.
dude is off
This thread reminds me of the times when Z-Train himself was a member in our great forum.
I gots to listen to that clip.
cant wait to get to my apt to listen to / watch all this mess lol
Pm me your email address if you want the audio clip.
Theres alot of words for this guy but i think douchebag fits the best.
God Z is a sad sad person

Bio and Links
In an effort to find my missing Aunt, Lorraine B Hurd (nee Knapp), I came upon Find A Grave and genealogy. Five years, 7 months and 19 days later, I finally found her!!! How? Through a posting on Find A Grave by a member volunteer!!
Her Find A Grave Memorial Page is here:
Lorraine B Hurd
A link to her Ancestry.com profile "Website" is listed below.
This page is dedicated to her.
Finding, documenting and sharing through this venue helps to build family stories and honor those we loved as well as those whom we never knew.
Family is important!
"The family is our refuge and our springboard; nourished on it, we can advance to new horizons. In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future." Alex Haley
The memorials I add or manage are all relatives. You may use any / all photographs that I have added if you credit "Tom Knapp" as source. Source is important in that if others want original documentation or additional information, they know where to seek.
Suggestions, corrections, additions, etc are always welcome to those memorials I manage.
A hearty "THANK YOU" to all the volunteers!!! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and create everlasting memories for generations to come.

RE: Miranda Platt and Werner Cemetery
Sorry, this is a very small cemetery and most of the graves have no headstones and some are unreadable. Her name was on the list of people moved there, but no plot numbers were given. I've been there myself and I don't remember seeing a stone for her. I don't know when I'll get a chance to get back there, but when I do I'll keep her in mind and look again.

RE: Elmira Shourds
Hi Tom, I'm honored to have my photos used in family trees. I do have an edit in on this memorial. The stone says Elmina, not Elmira and the book of Sauk County transcriptions I used for the date says Elmina too. I plan to stop at the cemetery this coming week (I work in Reedsburg) and take a big piece of paper and crayon to do a rubbing of the stone to see if I can get a clearer reading of the words. I'll let you know if I find something different and change the information I posted under the memorial photo. Joan
