Robbery meltdown at ice cream store
A clerk doesn't fall for a toy gun, slamming the cash register drawer on a suspect's hand.
By LARRY HENDRICKS
Assistant City Editor
Saturday, August 02, 2008
Friday just wasn't a good day to try to rob a westside ice cream store.
First, the robbers tried to use a toy gun, but the clerk spotted the ruse right away. Then, when one of the robbers reached into the cash register, the clerk closed the register drawer on his hand.
The duo left with bruised egos and probably a bruised hand.
More importantly, they left empty-handed, and police now have three suspects in custody.
Here's how it happened:
According to Flagstaff police accounts, two men walked into the Baskin-Robbins store at 1104 S. Milton Road, at about 11:30 a.m. One of the men had a gun that the clerk believed to be a toy.
One of the suspects reached into the cash register, but the clerk closed the register on the would-be robber's hand. Police said the man was unable to get any money before the two men fled the scene south in the direction of Picazzo's Pizza.
According to information from the police department, a woman driver was believed to be involved with the two men. Police began searching for a silver Kia with an Arizona license plate.
Sgt. Tom Boughner of the police department said the suspects were caught Friday afternoon, and detectives have seized a vehicle matching the description of the Kia.
Arrested and booked into the county jail on aggravated armed robbery charges were: Conal Smith, 22; Holly Dornan, 21; and Jason McPhetridge, 21.
The investigation continues.
Larry Hendricks can be reached at 556-2262 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gee, I hope they don't ban cash registers.:spankme:

Verbal Smackdown Inside Alachua County Commission Meeting
Elected representatives inside an Alachua county commission meeting Tuesday night let loose. A sheriff's office presentation quickly transformed into a match up between Sheriff Sadie Darnell and Commissioner Mike Byerly. Darnell accused him of being disrespectful of law enforcement. He argued with crime rates down the sheriff's office shouldn't get any more money.
"Long term steady decline in the calls of service for the sheriff means there is less call load, less calls for service, less crime to respond to and that in my mind needs to translate at some point into less budget," said Byerly.
"What he (Byerly) does is approach it in a very knee jerk, simplistic way of saying those numbers are going down therefore people need to go down. It won't work," said Darnell.

This Dance Is Sweeping The Ocean
""The whole music business in the United States is based on numbers, based on unit sales and not on quality. It's not based on beauty, it's based on hype and it's based on cocaine. It's based on giving presents of large packages of dollars to play records on the air. ... Modern music is people who can't think signing artists who can't write songs to make records for people who can't hear." - FZ

Fans of classical music, Opera and European architecture should seriously consider visiting at least a few of Europe's most prestigious Opera houses. Although trips to Opera houses are rarely featured as part of organized tours the tourists who make an effort to explore Europe's many Opera houses often rave about their experiences, citing them as trip highlights. Here are just a few of the top rated Opera houses which tourists should consider and add to their Europe trip itinerary. Brought to you by Tourism-Review.com.
The Royal Opera House – London, England
The current Opera house is the third to be built at Convent Garden, the first of which was built in 1732. For its first hundred years the Opera house served mainly as a playhouse, although it's now home to an Orchestra and a Ballet company as well as an Opera company. Some of the Opera house's most memorable performances were Operas written by George Handel, some of which were written specifically for the Opera House itself.
The Royal Theatre of Saint Charles (Teatro di San Carlo) – Naples, Italy
The Teatro di San Carlo was commissioned in 1737 by King Charles of Bourbon and holds the title of being the worlds oldest working theater. Prior to the construction of La Scala the Teatro di San Carlo was the most prestigious theatre in Italy. The Teatro di San Carlo has hosted a plethora of Operas, perhaps most notably Operas composed by Gioachino Rossini.
The Royal Opera (The Opéra Royal de Versailles) – Versailles, France
The Royal Opera was constructed within the Palace of Versailles in 1769 by architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel to celebrate the marriage between the dauphin, King Louis XVI and his bride Marie-Antoinette an Austrian princess. Today visitors are able to visit the Royal Opera for special gala performances or as part of a tour of the palace.
The Royal Opera is ornately decorated in keeping with the rest of the palace, although Ange-Jacques creatively used a few substitutions for materials. As an example, the walls look to be marble but are actually wooden and painted to resemble marble. The Royal Opera is also famous for its sky blue curtains and harmonious blend of gold, pink and green decorations. The Royal Opera also boasts two balconies and a colonnade which doesn't seem to end, thanks to the careful placement of mirrors.
La Scala (Teatro alla Scala) – Milan, Italy
La Scala was built in 1778 and is arguably the most famous Opera house in the world. La Scala is closely associated with many of the world's great composers including Rossini, Donizetti and Verdi. To this day many of the worlds most respected Opera singers have performed at La Scala, perhaps as it boasts unbeatable acoustics due to the concave tunnel which was installed under the orchestra's wooden floor.
The Bolshoi Theatre – Moscow, Russia
Although the Bolshoi Theatre closed briefly for refurbishment in 2005 it has since been reopened in 2012. The Bolshoi Theatre was built in 1825 and opened with a performance of Fernando Sor's ballet Cendrillion. Throughout its extended history the Bolshoi Theatre has staged a plethora of world class ballets, perhaps most notably Yuri Grigorovich's productions of Romanda,Swan Lake and The Golden Age.
Visitors to Russia shouldn't leave Moscow without visiting the Bolshoi Theatre as it boasts four balconies and an impressive neoclassic portico which features a statue of the mythological god Apollo and his chariot. The theatre also houses a top gallery where all the authentic Chippendale seats are covered in red damask.
The Vienna State Opera (Vienna Staatsoper) – Vienna, Austria
The Vienna State Opera house was built in 1869 and opened with a performance of Mozart's Opera Don Giovanni. Sadly much of the Opera house was destroyed during WW2, when the Allied forces bombed Vienna in 1945. Fortunately its famous grand staircase survived along with other parts of the building. To gain a sense of the Vienna State Opera's original splendour make sure to walk through the main doors where you'll find the splendid box office foyer.
The Paris Opera House (The Palais Garnier) – Paris, France
The Paris Opera House was built in 1875 as a permanent home for Paris's most successful Opera company the Opéra de Paris. The Opera house is distinctly recognizable for it's spectacular domed roof, which stands out, even in a city of extraordinary buildings. The interior of the Opera house is just as impressive and features grand staircases, exquisite statues, frescoes and chandeliers. Each year a variety of classic Operas are still performed at the Paris Opera House which has a seating capacity of 1875.

Ahmadinejad to visit Caracas, Venezuela to move its gold
posted at 10:30 am on August 17, 2011 by Fausta Wertz
Chávez and Ahmadinejad to meet in September in Caracas
Caracas and Tehran have established a close relation in recent years
President Hugo Chávez and his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pledged to strengthen political and economic cooperation after they convened a meeting of delegates of both countries that will be held in September in Caracas, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry said Tuesday in a statement.
In a telephone conversation, the two Heads of State welcomed the progress of bilateral cooperation and "agreed to convene the 7th meeting of the bilateral joint committee (…) in order to broaden and deepen the complementation for the independence and welfare of people," said the text released by the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, as quoted by AFP.
A'jad is scheduled to be in New York on September 11.
Hugo's back in Caracas, from his latest round of Cuban chemo, and looking bloated,
Meanwhile, Venezuela Plans to Move Reserve Funds (emphasis added)
Venezuela plans to transfer billions of dollars in cash reserves from abroad to banks in Russia, China and Brazil and tons of gold from European banks to its central bank vaults, according to documents reviewed Tuesday by The Wall Street Journal.
The planned moves would include transferring $6.3 billion in cash reserves, most of which Venezuela now keeps in banks such as the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, and Barclays Bank in London to unnamed Russian, Chinese and Brazilian banks, one document said.
Venezuela also plans to move 211 tons of gold it keeps abroad and values at $11 billion to the vaults of the Venezuelan Central Bank in Caracas where the government keeps its remaining 154 tons of bullion, the document says.
Venezuela is unusual among countries of its kind in holding so much gold, with the 13th largest gold reserves in the world, according to the World Gold Council (most of the countries ahead of it are in the G10). But this has certainly served Venezuela well: the consistent rise in gold prices has effectively papered over a fall in its reserves this year, despite high oil prices.
Moreover, for Venezuela, whose government rather remarkably seems to be capable of "losing" $29bn, $5bn is small change.
Why the move?
Analysts said the planned move made little economic or financial sense, since Venezuela would be taking its money out of secure banks in safe countries and putting it in countries that are not as safe and perhaps in currencies such as the Chinese yuan or the Russian ruble, which are not reserve currencies. "It's a big risk," said José Guerra, a former official at Venezuela's central bank. Mr. Guerra said he also had heard about the documents whose authenticity was confirmed to him by Central Bank officials.
Could be that Hugo's getting more desperate as the chemo continues,
Neither Mr. Chávez's type of cancer nor Mr. Chávez's prognosis has been made public. Moving the reserves may signal that Mr. Chávez and his associates could be preparing some drastic political moves—such as canceling elections—that could incur international condemnation and perhaps trigger sanctions.
Therefore – since he knows he's running out of time, he needs the gold and cash right now.
Miguel Octavio is unfazed. One of his commenters speculates,
Is it possible that they are trying to get these reserves into a place where the new government can't get at them?
Everything is possible.

Budget Appliance Repair
|What you see there are the snubber ring shavings, there is a small raised bead around the ring and when it wears away it allows the milkstool to drop down about an extra 1/4" which makes the spring tension way to weak to keep any type of load balanced without the machine beating itself to death or trying to walk out of the house.
Not a real hard job but you do have to take the machine all apart.
When I do this job, I remove all the motor wiring and pull the drain hose back into the cabinet and remove the complete outer cabinet.
Then to remove the springs I use metal electric outlet boxes, (6 of them, one for each spring), wedge a box into each spring so they will stay stretched when you remove them. Then gently pull the tub towards each spring as you carefully remove it being carefull not to pull the boxes out of the springs. When you reinstall each spring make sure you get the spring hook in the base plate back up thru the holes and lean the tub towards each spring as you reinstall each one.
Once the wash tub and milkstool assembly is out, turn it upside down on two 4x4's so it sits nice and sturdy to work on.
Now this is where you need to be very carefull. The brake stator that holds the snubber ring in place is held on by 6 5/16" bolts and that brake is under like 200pounds of pressure. Carefully back out each screw just a couple of turns, (you will need to back them all out about halfway, just go slow and even and make sure none come all the way out), until you can wiggle the snubber ring out from under the stator and reinstall the new one, tighten the six bolts back down.
Clean the snubber ring surface and the base plate real good with rubbing alcohol and then sprinkle some corn starch on the base plate where the snubber ring rides and put it all back together.

They Say…. - Poem by V P Mahur
They say poetry is a fashion
But I say it is a deep passion
They say poetry is jumbled
But I say it is purely humbled
They say poetry is waste of time
But I say it is a sweet rhyme
They say poetry is crop of craze
But I say it is a hidden blaze
They say poetry is heap of stones
But I say it is a leap into unknowns
They say poetry is thoughtless act
But I say it is a self made pact
They say poetry is work of idlers
But I say it is a pilgrimage of thinkers
They say poetry is flight without wings
But I say it is a bird that sings

Ninth is nowhere near a great position, but considering this is the first race at Laguna for him, it sure was a pretty decent job, especially when seeing his pace rather than the position. Well done, Bradl!
BTW, I like that yellow plate of old on LCR's bike!

I go to the range with a stack of printer paper, roll of masking tape, and roll of orange duct tape. Put a little 2"x2'" sqaure of orange duct tape on the sheet, hang it up with peice of masking tape and blast away.
Pretty dang cheap. I go through alot of paper too, I only take 5 shots at each target - I love knowing where each shot went. I have started putting two peices of orange tape spaced apart on each sheet, and putting about three sheets of paper up each time - end up with about 6 targets that way.
Knowing what each shot is doing has really helped me figure alot of things out and how to correct them.

HOMESTEAD, FL - NOVEMBER 20: Kevin Harvick, driver of the #29 Shell/Pennzoil Chevrolet, stands on the grid during qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 20, 2009 in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)
Start 'N' Park Blog is taking a look back at the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver by driver. This recap will take a look at the driver's stats, the season's highlights, the season's lowlights, what a quick look at next year. This installment takes a look back at Kevin Harvick who finished in the 8th place in the final standings. 2012 Statistics: Points: 2,321 Position: 8th Preseason Pick: 4th Starts: 36 Poles: 0 Wins: 1 Top 5s: 5 Top 10s: 14 DNFs: 2 Earnings: $5,792,916 What Was Said Prior To The Season: "Three years in a row finishing third? No, won't happen for Kevin Harvick, but it won't be in the direction he'd hope. I think he keeps the same consistency that has kept him in the top three, but he won't make the jump just yet. He won three races quickly in the first part of 2011 by leading minimal laps, but then puttered along for the rest of the year. He needs more wins or the same number just spread out throughout the year. Shifts at Richard Childress Racing are getting the wheels moving in the right direction." What Happened In 2012: Richard Childress Racing took a step back in 2012, and Harvick had probably the quietest run into the Chase ever. He was mostly an afterthought for myself, even with second place finishes at Phoenix and Dover early in the season. He got into a comfortable position of sixth-ninth in the points and just stayed there all season long. He did raise spirits with a win at Phoenix to help close the season with three consecutive top 10 finishes for something to build on. On To 2013: While they can try to build on those last three races, they will have a troublesome 2013 with the elephant in room being Harvick is leaving after that year. I'm split so far on whether he will have a great run because of no pressure, or will collapse under the constant questioning about 2014.

There are plenty of blogs where parents share their wit and wisdom. I don't possess much of that, so don't look for it here. But if you want to smile, this might be the place. And it won't start with me, but my 8-year-old twin daughters, who have a natural habit of speaking "off the cuff." And since I don't have a monopoly on funny children, I'm hoping that readers will share their own kids' verbal gems as well.
My girls, Anza and Josie, have uttered things that make me laugh out loud, look at the world through different eyes or rush to cover their mouths before anyone else hears them. I will share some of those conversations with my daughters and give you the opportunity to submit your own kids' quotes so I can include them in coming "Kids Off the Cuff" blogs. (There's an email address below.)
Conversations with my daughters
In the kitchen, just before dinner.
Josie: She moved the chair and made me fall.
Me: I don't think she meant to.
Josie: Well, I'm not going to sit next to her if she doesn't say she's sorry.
Me: I don't think I like an ultimatum like that.
Josie: I'm not an old tomato. Stop calling me an old tomato!
At the top of the stairs, Anza shouts down to her sister.
Anza: Josie! Are these underwear mine now?
Josie: Which ones?
Anza: The "Smart Cookies" -- are they mine now 'cause I threw up on 'em?
I'm driving with Josie in the car. I have to slow down.
Me: That squirrel wasn't moving.
Josie: I've seen a toody squirrel before.
Me: A toody squirrel? What's that?
Josie: It's a squirrel that's 2-D instead of 3-D.
Me: Oh, two dimensions. Where did you see that?
Josie: In the woods. It was on the ground.
Me: Squished?
Josie: Yep. Dead. Flat. A 2-D squirrel.
I pick up the girls from school. They're in the back seat, discussing friends.
Josie (to Anza): Daddy doesn't know who any of our friends are. Watch this --
Josie (to Me): Daddy, do you know who Samuel Billington is?
Me: No.
Josie (to Anza): See. He doesn't know anybody.
On the way to the American Girl Doll Store with my girls.
Me: Girls, you've had lunch at the American Girl Doll store before, haven't you?
Josie: Yes.
Me: What happens?
Josie: Well, we eat.
The girls keep asking if they can play out back with the neighbor kids, and I keep saying "no."
Finally I have to lay down the law.
Me: Look, playing with the neighbors is not high on my priority list on a school night. It's more important that you're prepared for school tomorrow. It's more important that you do your --
Josie: You made a list?
My girls also say things that come from a distinctly non-adult perspective of the world.
The meaning of life.
Me: Anza, what do you want to do in life?
Anza: Slide down the banister.
During an outdoor pool break at the YMCA.
Me: Girls, here, I got you these ice cream drumsticks. I hope you don't mind that I didn't let you take the money and buy them yourselves.
Anza: No, not at all. Money is just something in the world. It's not special. It's not like something that can turn you into a Mermaid.
In the coming weeks I'll be sharing more of these conversations, but I'd like to make the blog about all kids, not just mine. Please send your funny quotes to firstname.lastname@example.com (If you submit a quote, you are extending permission to publish it. And feel free to leave out information, like last names or geographic locations, to protect your kids' privacy.)
Until then...
The tooth fairy.
Anza: The tooth fairy left me three dollars. All in quarters.
Me: If you add up all the quarters, how many are there?
Anza: Three dollars worth.
Don't ask if you don't want to know.
Me: Who do you love more, me or Momma?
Josie: Can I have another choice?

Bartender Birthday
This was for a bartender whose party was decorated in red, white, and black. I tried to do something alcohol related that was pretty and feminine, and with her colors of the party. This is what I came up with. I used all buttercream except for the liquid which was colored piping gel. I also used edible glitter around the rim of the margarita glass.

Electric Eel Range
Fast Facts
- Type:
- Fish
- Diet:
- Carnivore
- Average life span in the wild:
- 15 years
- Size:
- 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.5 m)
- Weight:

- Relative:

Please add a "relative" entry to your dictionary.
Despite their serpentine appearance, electric eels are not actually eels. Their scientific classification is closer to carp and catfish.
These famous freshwater predators get their name from the enormous electrical charge they can generate to stun prey and dissuade predators. Their bodies contain electric organs with about 6,000 specialized cells called electrocytes that store power like tiny batteries. When threatened or attacking prey, these cells will discharge simultaneously, emitting a burst of at least 600 volts, five times the power of a standard U.S. wall socket.
They live in the murky streams and ponds of the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America, feeding mainly on fish, but also amphibians and even birds and small mammals. As air-breathers, they must come to the surface frequently. They also have poor eyesight, but can emit a low-level charge, less than 10 volts, which they use like radar to navigate and locate prey.
Electric eels can reach huge proportions, exceeding 8 feet (2.5 meters) in length and 44 pounds (20 kilograms) in weight. They have long, cylindrical bodies and flattened heads and are generally dark green or grayish on top with yellowish coloring underneath.
Human deaths from electric eels are extremely rare. However, multiple shocks can cause respiratory or heart failure, and people have been known to drown in shallow water after a stunning jolt.
Electric eels are extremely common throughout their range.

Haunted by the Past : Effects of Poor Change Management History on Employee Attitudes and Turnover
Bordia, Prashant, Restubog, Simon L., Jimmieson, Nerina L., & Irmer, Bernd E. (2007) Haunted by the Past : Effects of Poor Change Management History on Employee Attitudes and Turnover. In Solomon, George (Ed.) Academy of Management 2007 Annual Meeting Proceedings: Doing Well By Doing Good, 3 – 8 August, Philadelphia, United States.
Administrators only
Change management research has largely ignored the effects of organizational change history in shaping employee attitudes and behavior. This paper develops and tests a model of the effects of poor change management history on employee attitudes (trust, job satisfaction, turnover intentions, change cynicism and openness to change) and voluntary turnover.

I Wonder - Poem by Michael Bogle
I wondered, and pondered, what must it all mean,
I did not know if it was too late, or if i had been seen,
Like the time, when i was small, i took the nickel from the jar,
I thought for sure i had been seen, but no i was away, i was far.
Too many times, i think and think and think, about the nickel,
Why am i going nuts over a shiny, object, it not special,
Not even a cup of coffee, can you buy
No not even a doughnut, not even a peice of pie.
Oh, i wonder, and i ponder, what must it all mean,

Phoenix • Sam Johnson said the FLDS Church doesn't control a pair of polygamous towns Tuesday, but by the late morning attorneys were working to dismantle that claim at trial.
The first few hours of Johnson's testimony at U.S. District Court for Arizona came in response to questions from attorneys representing Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah. However, attorneys for the Cooke family — who say they were discriminated against for not being FLDS members — clearly didn't buy why Johnson was saying.
Attorney Bill Walker began the cross examination by showing a letter allegedly written by former town police chief Fred Barlow. The letter was written to Warren Jeffs and referenced Johnson's time in the police academy. According Walker, it also showed that Jeffs was being consulted about Johnson's appointment to the police force.

From the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of Minnesota and St. Paul Ramsey Medical Center, Minneapolis/St. Paul
1993, by the American College of Chest Physicians
We studied the correspondence between fluctuations of esophageal pressure measured before and after placement of a nasogastric (NG) tube in six normal volunteers. Flow, airway pressure, and esophageal pressure data from at least 20 breaths were recorded in seven ventilatory conditions in two body postures: 0° (supine) and 60° (upright). The conditions studied included normal quiet breathing, added resistance, reduced compliance, increased frequency, increased tidal volume, continuous positive airway pressure, and volume-cycled ventilation with positive pressure. During recording with the NG tube in place, the subject targeted the same tidal volume (VT), respiratory rate, and inspiratory time fraction (TI/TTOT) recorded before NG tube placement. A computer program selected for analysis only those recorded breaths with and without an NG tube that were "matched" within 5 percent for both VT and TI. We calculated average VT, TI, and esophageal pressure fluctuation (ΔPes) for the matched breaths from each subject during every condition. The ΔPes values with and without NG tube were not statistically different in any tested condition (p>0.05). Our data indicate that the presence of an NG tube does not invalidate the accuracy of ΔPes measurements made using a well-positioned balloon catheter in the tested conditions.

Join us during UVM's Homecoming Weekend, October 2-3, 2015. You'll have the chance to explore the renovated Nest, meet Mansfield Hall student residents, and reconnect with other Owls. Register Now!.
About Lambda Iota
Lambda Iota Society, the oldest local student society in the nation, stands as a notable part of Burlington's and UVM's history.
The society was formed in 1836 by a group of 13 students in protest of a campus ban on smoking.
Members were Byron-esque poets and fledgling writers--much like the group in the popular movie The Dead Poets Society.

FBI raids rescue 105 kids forced into prostitution
LOS ANGELES - A three-day nationwide operation focusing on underage victims of prostitution -- including raids in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties -- resulted in about 150 arrests of alleged pimps and other suspects and the recovery of 105 sexually exploited children, the FBI announced today.
The sweep took place in 76 cities and was carried out by the FBI in partnership with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, along with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
``Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across America,'' said Ron Hosko, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
``This operation serves as a reminder that these abhorrent crimes can happen anywhere and that the FBI remains committed to stopping this cycle of victimization and holding the criminals who profit from this exploitation accountable,'' Hosko said.
Laura Eimiller, spokeswoman for the FBI in Los Angeles, said that two minors, aged 15 and 16, were rescued in the Los Angeles area and four alleged pimps were arrested.
``We pro-actively looked for victims of prostitution,'' along with local law enforcement agencies, she said. Federal agents track victims and victimizers several ways, most notably online, Eimiller said.
For many pimps, ``the preferred way of advertising children and women in general'' was online, she said. The nature of online advertising, she said, was that pimps could operate from anywhere and offer women for prostitution anywhere.
``In many cases, these prostitutes are minors,'' Eimiller said.
Rep. Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles, commended authorities on the operation. ``Their efforts again highlight the dire need to focus our attention on preventing child sex trafficking here in the United States, where over time this has become a growing concern for too many local communities,'' said Bass, who is co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth.
``Of particular concern to me are the alarming statistics showing that far too many trafficking victims are either current or former foster youth,'' Bass said. ``In my hometown of Los Angeles, over 60 percent of child victims of trafficking either are or were foster youth, and we know that pimps are now targeting foster youth group homes as hubs to recruit vulnerable girls.''
The effort was part of the FBI's Innocence Lost National Initiative, and was the seventh -- and largest -- such enforcement action to date, Hosko said.
Since its creation in 2003, the Innocence Lost National Initiative has resulted in the identification and recovery of more than 2,700 children who have been sexually exploited.

Early Morning Fire Kills Five
Published November 21st, 2009
Loading Video...
Marion County Fire Rescue firefighters responded to a structure fire at 11290 NW 20th St. at 6:46 a.m. after a caller on a cell phone alerted MCFR to the incident. When crews arrived on-scene less than six minutes later at 6:52 a.m., the single-wide mobile home was fully engulfed in flames and the roof had collapsed.
There were five confirmed fire fatalities; however, the victims' ages and genders have not been released. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
TV20's Kristin Giannas reports today's tragedy was the highest number of deaths Marion County fire fighters have seen in a single structure fire, in the past 20 years.

Halloween falls on a Wednesday this year, normally a church meeting night, so some groups and municipalities have shifted their celebrations around to accommodate both events.
There will not be a Trail of Treats in Williston this year.
The Williston Chamber of Commerce, the longtime sponsor of the event, elected not to host the event this year due to safety concerns and financial obligations.

Your missing out on some cool charts...
Michael Montisano a.k.a. mmontisano
I don't often find myself laughing out loud after reading a golfer of the week profile. But, badcaddy's story at the end is FANTASTIC! Enough from me, let's get on to the good stuff. Enjoy!
How old are you and what's your occupation?
I'm 32 and a graphic designer for a microbrewery in Singapore called Brewerkz. If you're ever in the area, hit me up. We have about 15 beers on tap at all times and they're all very tasty, and I'll give you the OOB discount.
When did you start playing golf and what's your handicap?
I got my first set of knock-off clubs when I was 12. The irons were called HULK Oversized and were made to look like a set of PING EYE2's while my woods looked similar to Callaway Big Bertha's. It was a good set though and it got me on the varsity team in high school and lasted through college.
I'm currently in a slump this year and a bike accident slowed me down some too, so my handicap has risen to a 12.2. I moved to Singapore last February and I still haven't gotten used to the humidity here. After a round of golf, you're physically wiped out for the rest of the day. Even if you drink 6 liters of water during your round, you're sweating faster than you can hydrate.
How often do you play?
I hit the range at least once a week, but golf in Singapore is WAY expensive, so I only play about once a month. There is only 1 public golf course and it's about $154 US dollars to play. If you want to play somewhere somewhat cheaper, you need to go to either Malaysia or Indonesia. But then it literally becomes an all day event because you have to take a ferry. I'm trying to play more though.
Tell me about a great shot you've made.
The course I played growing up has a short par 4, all uphill. I hit a 3 wood into the bunker that's about 10 yards before the green. The ball is in an unraked foot print, so I wasn't exactly sure on how to play it. I take my club and put a big swing on it. The green is obscured because I'm still going uphill, but the shot looks good from the bunker. I walk up to the green and can't find my ball anywhere. I probably spent about 10 minutes looking for the damn thing all over the place until it dawns on me. "Nooooo, can it be in the cup, can it?" I take a look and there it is, my first eagle! Too bad I didn't see it happen...
What is your best golf memory?
I can't really answer this question properly because I'm still creating them. I'm the only one in my family that plays so I can't say it was all those times playing with my dad. Playing with close friends is always a good time. Really, whenever I'm playing is my favorite. I could literally spend hours testing equipment or at the range working on my game. Those times when you're trying to squeeze in the last round before the winter snow hits were always fun. I just really love the game.
What is your "home" course?
I don't have one. I think it's a better indicator of your handicap if you switch up the courses. If you play the same course all the time you start to know the nuances and tend to play better on it, making you and your handicap look better than it actually is.
The closest thing to a home course I have is the one where I learned the game. Turkeyfoot Golf Links in Akron,OH. It was down the street from my home and I'd just throw my golf bag over my shoulder, hop on my moped and go play golf every day after school.
What ball do you play?
Right now, the TaylorMade Penta because I like them and they were on sale. Otherwise, I would play the TaylorMade Burner Tour. They aren't too expensive and they spin well enough for my game. And I think they go a little further than the NXTs too.
I'm all over the place with clubs. I have a reserve set that I can revert back to also if I want to switch things up.
Drivers: Ping G10
Fairway Woods: TaylorMade R11
Hybrids: Cobra Baffler Rail H
Irons: Cobra Carbon CB
Wedges: Titleist Vokey 200 Series Chrome Spin Milled
Putters: Odyssey White Hot XG #9
Favorite pro?
Growing up it was Curtis Strange because, I guess the nice way to put it is, he was vocal on and off the course. I have a bit of a fowl mouth and nothing puts emphasis on something quite like the f word. I've calmed down a bit and I don't use colorful language as much as I used too though because if my son were to get in trouble at school for repeating something I once said, I'd really feel like an ***hole.
Now my favorite is Phil. Goofy grin and all. The amount of time he spends focusing on his fans is what a being a pro means to me.
Favorite course you've played?
Nirwana Bali Golf Club in Bali, Indonesia. It's a tough Greg Norman design along the ocean and it's highly susceptible to wind. There is a par 3 there that's absolutely gorgeous. You play over a little lagoon and there is a Hindu temple to your left called Tanah Lot that's only accessible during low tide and makes for a great picture. I think I uploaded one in my image gallery actually. Just watch out for the big red ants. They bite, no matter what the caddy says. And they can jump...
Dream course you've yet to play?
Without a doubt, The North Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron, OH. I grew up about 3 miles from there and I would go to the NEC every year. I even met Phil's wife once. Now, of course, it's a WGC event and I watch every single broadcasted minute on TV. It's my 5th major. I would play their public 9 as much as possible just so I could peer over the fence to get a good look at one of the greens. The tee boxes there are better than most greens at a muni. I thought I had an "in" to play it one time last year, but I couldn't get the staff at Firestone to answer their phone or call me back. If an OOBer can get me on, I'll hop on a plane right this minute and I'll be knocking on your door in approximately 32 hours.
Other than that, it's the usual suspects. St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Pebble Beach, Royal Melbourne, Oakmont, Augusta National. The list goes on...
Best round ever- and what course?
I don't really do anything special. No part of my game is better than anything else. Despite my handicap, I've never broken 80, so my lowest score is an 82 that I shot last year at Ridgeview Ranch in Plano, TX. The only thing different that day was that I had 2 birdies in a row but nothing really that special. I'm just more consistent than anything else. Par or bogey is my typical score on a hole.
View Scorecard
What is one aspect of your golf game you would like to improve on in the next year?
The mental game is probably what I need to work on the most. I can get pretty down on myself after a double bogey and then it's hard to recover after that.
I equally need to work on my conditioning. I bought a bike for exercise and to help me get used to the heat here on the equator. I look in bewilderment at the locals because they go out wearing pants, polo shirt, compression sleeves, heavy amounts of sunscreen on what little skin sees direct sunlight, the whole 9 yards. I don't know how they do it.
Tell me a story.
The Butcher Story. When Mandelbaum and I were first starting off in our careers as designers, the company hired this guy, we'll call him Butcher, to our team and he really tried to assert himself. Once in a meeting, he listed the hierarchy and put himself at the top of the whiteboard in really big letters, just under our boss (who was in smaller letters than his). And I swear, he put us all the way at the bottom in the tiniest letters possible. We were barely legible. One day he heard us talking about going to play golf that weekend and he asked if he could join along, to which we reluctantly said yes.
To start the day, we all had some turkey sandwiches because it was close to lunch time. Since I was last to arrive, I had to share the cart with him. Things were going alright at first, but to say this guy was a bad golfer is doing injustice to all the bad golfers out there. Dude used just about every excuse in the book every time he hit a shot. Everything from him misjudging a dogleg (a very minuscule one at that) when his ball went into the trees, to the wind had picked up and knocked down his ball into the water in front of the green.
Anyway, we get the 14th hole and he's looking a little wiggly in the seat next to me and he asks me, "Hey, is that the bathroom up there?," and I replied with a yes. I'm not sure why but he didn't go and the dude is looking worse by the time we get to the 18th hole. He tees up first, hits, then drops his club and starts running up the fairway where we eventually lose sight of him. All of us just kind of stood there for a minute wondering if he was going to come back. After a few minutes we just assume he's in the club house and we continue playing.
As we get close the green, I hear my name being called. I scan around and finally find the source coming from the woods and it's Butcher asking me to come get him. I pull up and he gets into the cart with probably the nastiest sight I've ever seen. He apparently had to really go and it wasn't waiting for him to fully pull down his pants. He asks if he can take the cart, finding it hard to contain myself, I replied with an emphatic "YES!"
While in the parking lot explaining to Mandelbaum and The Mustache Ride what happened, I get a phone call from Butcher. "I'm on the parkway sitting in traffic and I can't stop sh**ing!" is the only thing I remember from that brief conversation.
The following week Butcher is trying to blame "the episode" on the turkey sandwich prior to the round. Mandelbaum actually responded with "Oh yeah, you mean the one we all had?" The same week our team was going out for lunch and Butcher said something along the lines of "I'd drive but I'm having a muffler problem." So I said the only thing someone in that situation can possibly say, "I know you have a muffler problem, but what's wrong with your car?"

Congratulations on the well deserved GOW designation. That's a heck of a story but it could not have happened to a more deserving person.

+1 homer.
Congrats badcaddy on GOW! We play a similar game, I dont make a lot of birdies, but I play consistent par/bogey and keep it in play while keeping penalty strokes low.
mmontisano says:
thanks everyone!
and i'm serious about Firestone. i'll do ANYTHING to play there.

Congrats, buddy.

The organization enlisted this being, we'll call him Butcher, to our collection and he truly attempt to state himself. Once in a gathering, he recorded the pecking order and place himself at the uppermost, do my paper point of the whiteboard in huge letters.

There's also good news for those of you who like a spot of decorating. In LittleBigPlanet you can collect stickers and decorations, using these to permanently spruce up or graffiti the pod that your sackboy calls home, or the existing levels. In some cases, the stickers even work as switches, opening up new sections or releasing bonus items onto the scene. All this stuff is ingeniously worked into the main story mode. You know the sort of coins or power-ups you collect in regular platform games? Well, there's still a sort of in-game, high-score currency but here the levels are also festooned with bubbles containing stickers, decorations, objects and new costume items to pick up.
This is brilliant. In most games I struggle to work up any enthusiasm for bonus collectibles. In LittleBigPlanet I actually worry that the second level of the Mexican stage contains a costume bubble I've missed out on. You want to return to levels until you've found everything, and the fact that stickers found in later levels can be used to unlock new objects in earlier levels makes that a sensible approach. That, and the fact that most LBP levels are so much fun that you never mind another journey through them.
Yet even this customisation is only the beginning. The most revolutionary aspect of LittleBigPlanet is that, having created all these odd characters, platforms and mechanisms to delight you, Media Molecule wants you to have a go with them too. We're not talking about the sort of map editor that PC FPS fans will be used to, but about a real-time editing mode where others can play as you're creating - the closest thing we've seen before is probably Garry's Mod in Half-Life 2 or The Forge in Halo 3.
Using the same 'popit' interface you use to decorate your sackboy or the levels in the game, you can place your own scenery, objects and enemies by selecting items from a goodie bag and just placing them on the screen. You can rotate and rescale them with the right stick, and flip them with a press of a button. The only thing you need to worry about is gravity. While you're placing objects it's switched off, but put your popit away and the whole stack falls to earth and (hopefully) into place. Once that's done, you can let your friends play around with them, polish your design, then upload the lot to Media Molecule's servers. Of course, you'll have to unlock all the goodies first, and the only way to do that is work your way through the existing levels. Playing feeds creating, and visa versa.
The more you get involved in this, the more it all makes sense. The existing 'story' levels, each supposedly designed by a specific 'curator creator' are all so much more than just sample levels, but they do provide you with inspiration as to what you might one day achieve. Not all of us will reach such dizzy heights; the interface is probably as simple as it can be, but juggling all the scenery items, objects and mechanisms on several different planes of depth (the game has you moving in and out of the screen) is tricky, and it will take a lot of trial and error before you come up with anything functional, let alone enjoyable.

"I can't say it clearer than this: if I didn't have a PlayStation 3 right now, I would buy one tomorrow just to carry on exploring this LittleBigPlanet."
I cannot agree 𧷤+ would be a STUpid outlay for a childish 2d doll platformer with many skins with dumb game mechanics, however landmarkish critics or phony claim it to be.
"𧷤+ would be a STUpid outlay for a..." insert any video game or list of video games here.
Not really what I think, but a lot of people would think so. Just because you don't like something doesn't make another person's decision stupid.
It's a great game, and is very high on the list for families and individuals who have thought about buying the ps3 before. I would have been hesitant to buy my ps3 if this game hadn't been on the horizon. Instead I used it as an amazing dvd upscaler and blu-ray and multimedia device until launch. That's not to say that there aren't other games that I want, there just hadn't been until this month.
You clearly haven't played the game! Find a demo kiosk NOW!
I played it at the Eurogamer Expo last week. Nice and all, however I won't be getting a PS3 just yet. It doesn't have 𧷤 worth of gameplay, not to mention my wife will have strong words about having 3 consoles under the tv :-).
Hugo is so right, go try it first. I personally have my reserves on this game given what is being described by many as "childish" content. I will have to try to find a demo on PS Store (if available) before comitting to buy this game. But in all and for all, it does sound a lot of fun, aren't we all children at heart after all?
PS: does anyone know when the demo will be available on the UK PS Store?
FYI chaps, for anyone who noticed the score did change. Our writer gave it a 10 but we made a mistake when we uploaded the article. Apologies, our bad.
This review is 100% spot-on. For me this is the first truly 'next-gen' game on any platform. Its not about its genre or its literally lifelike graphics. Its the total immersive feeling you get that makes you forget this is just a game and not some interactive 'Aardman-esque' animated short. For the record, I own all of the current generation of consoles and therefore my comments are not those of a PS3 fanboy ................ just thought I'd add that for clarity :)
I think there will be a lot of comments on why this game got 10/10 i have played it and its okay, its not life changing. Its fun and interesting that you can change everything in it, but how long do you think the fun factor will last? . Certainly wouldnt make me buy a PS3 just for one game, think sony need to pull out some more PS3 titles that are amazing. Think I will wait for it to come out on other consoles ;)
Another 10/10 review sigh ..... I've lost track of the number of times over the years I've been suckered into buying games based on wonderful reviews only to be very disappointed after playing them. Think I'll wait until Joe Public plays the game and gives its verdict before I waste another pile of money based on a PR puff piece.
Strangely enough, it's actually my honest opinion of a genuinely fantastic game. In nearly four years at TR I've handed out a grand total of three 10/10 reviews, and not one was a 'PR puff piece.'
I hope the rest of you enjoy LBP! It really is that good. Stu.
@basicasic - Yep it's another 10/10, but thinking back, this would be the second game to get 10/10 for the entire year, and, if memory serves me, only the fourth since I launched TR. So that's hardly what you might call a glut of perfect scores.
Totally disagree, although I must not fit phony's demographic for this game to describe it as the first "truly next gen" game is a stretch on the imagination.
Sure graphically it shines and the user generated content is all web 2.0 but having played the game I had little interest in finishing a level after one play through.
Many have rated this game highly so I am the minority beyond the shine I was playing a 2D platformer with no story built around a creation tool, I asked myself why am I playing with dolls what has my gaming life become?
It's a 2D platformer something which came along light years ago with Mario.
Take away the shine and what has already been told about this game i was left with little reward, similiar to how I feel about youtube.
If this is the future I am happy for the gaming rocket to depart without me.
I would highly recommend this to anyone with kids and already own a PS3 and I don't dispute the score.
But if you have kids 𧷤+ on which could be teletubbies next week is crazy.
Different strokes for different folks.
As you say, different strokes for different folks, and there are still plenty of what you might call hardcore gaming releases on their way to keep you busy. All the same, the idea that Little Big Planet is 'just' a 2D platformer or 'just for kids' is plain wrong. It's a great game that I think anyone of any age should get a kick out of - the video game equivalent of one of the stronger Pixar films, if you like. And as for your point about Mario, it's like saying that Crysis is just an FPS, and those came along light years ago with Doom. If a game makes an old genre feel new again - and LBP does - then surely that's something we ought to celebrate!
I didn't feel it made the genre feel fresh again, my main grumble especially with THAT jump mechanic, in retrospect maybe my comments can be classed as the musing of a disaffected but Foxes glacier mint cool old fart.
Enjoy the game, I am sure you will not be alone.
Ok, I bought it and played and somewhat agree with Hank on this one. I was most frustrated by the dodgy controls of sackboy making this charming little platformer a nightmare to play. I truly feel like the 10 out of 10 is really exagerated, sorry Stu but it almost feels like Sony has given you a nice christmas bonus to get their game the top mark. I enjoy your reviews, sometimes disagree on a few things, but this time I strongly disagree with this review and would warn gamers out there to try LBP before they buy it, if they can get used to the controls then fair play to them.
This game got 10/10???
Wow, just.... wow
Someone's going to have a nice Christmas. I'm sure everything you watch will look great on the nice big Bravia that the reviewer now has? lol
Seriously though, this is possibly one of the most annoying games I have ever played in my god knows how many years of gaming.
The controls are just poor.
The reason why this is the first game to use as much physics in it as it does is not because the PS3 is the first console/computer capable of it, or the PS3 is awesome to the max and pwns all others, but because it just isn't that good an idea.
You will have to play levels over and over because of the rubbish control system, you just will.
I predict that there will be big spike in controller sales, largely to do with this game, as people destroy them in frustration.
Not only are the controls weak, the levels are often not that well designed. Then just to irritate you more as your sack boy falls off somewhere or doesn't jump when you want him to you will be being forced to listen to a musical score which was designed by evil Axis scientists in the second world was to irritate people as it was seemingly designed to have the ability to resonate with the first harmonic of your central nervous system, then repeated until you are quite happy to tear your own ears off or, yes, you could just turn it off i suppose =D
It can be fun, some things are super neat but seriously, some of the comments like "The first truly next-gen game" and a score of 10/10 are just crazy. lol
