A winged menace
CHICAGO — The White Sox and Rays encountered quite the stubborn pigeon here at The Cell this afternoon. In the top of the second inning, the bird landed on the field down the first-base line and began walking back and forth all along the chalk line.
At one point in the inning, Rays first-base coach George Hendrick tried to shoo the bird away, but it flew a few feet before dropping back down to the dirt. The pigeon kept up the act, much to the amusement of those in the seats and in the pressbox, for the entire inning.
The feisty fowl made its way toward home plate in the middle of the second, but was scared when one of Matt Garza's warm-up pitches zipped by above his head. So, he treated back down the first-base line, waddled on the infield grass, and made it almost to second baseman Akinori Iwamura.
Finally, when the bird moved back in front of home plate with Ken Griffey Jr. up in the bottom of the second, Rays catcher Dioner Navarro moved from behind the plate and waved his glove at the bird, who hopped toward the mound. Garza walked off and shooed the bird, too, and the fans erupted in a hilarious chorus of boos.
Garza's attempt to get rid of the bird suceeded temporarily. After Griffey singled to center, the bird flew to near the third-base dugout, but refused to leave the field. Soon, a second pigeon joined him near the mound — though that one flew off when he heard the crack of Alexei Ramirez's bat.
At the end of the inning, Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria trotted off the field and ran toward the bird and scared him off, with the pigeon finally flying away. Is there anything that rookie can't do? Man, it was pure entertainment. Oh, and the Rays are up, 1-0, in the third.

Good luck with your marathon in Chicago. I hope the weather isn't like last year. I'm sure you recall last year's weather. Hot…hot….hot….
Bears kicked some tail today and Michigan State is looking good. Wow, could be a good football year for you. The Bears have a shot at the division. 9 wins should take that division. Once again good luck with the marathon.
It looks like at least 1 Chicago team will win a playoff game. LOL! Cubs under Pinella tanked again. 0-6 the Cubs are under Pinella in October. I think the Cubs looked very tight in Chicago. While the Dodgers looked more relaxed. Torre's presence helped the young Dodgers.
Wasn't able to catch the game today, but that sounds hilarious.
I don't blame that pigeon, I'd be scared of Longoria as well. The guy is on fire right now.
Good news from Jordan's mailbag, Janssen is supposed to throw off a mound in November then take December off and possibly be ready by spring training.
GSJ, I agree with your comment in the previous post it would be pretty cool to see Manny back at Fenway.
An LA versus LA final would also be pretty cool. I'm torn.
Congratulations to TB. Just goes to show that a team can be successfull, even with a payroll of only $43,745,597.
L.A. Sure stunk.
I think Boston should pay rent for the space they inhabit in LA's collective heads; they've beaten them so many times in the playoffs it's unreal. I did think this year was going to be different though.
Congrats to Boston, except Bosox. lol
Bosox is to high and mighty to talk to us anymore.lol.
Garry & GSJ….
I'm here. Calling me high and mighty Garry. I am not, sorry to inform you. lol. Hope all is well with the both of you. Who would have thought that T.B. would be in the A.L.C.S. when the season started. Certainly not me! I'm guessing there will some tempers flaring in this series. It should be fun. Where is Kate? Does anyone know? LOL!!
I'm not sure who I'll cheer for in the ALCS, Boston or TB. I'd love to see TB win it all, proving money isn't the issue, a good minor league system is. On the other hand, if the Dodgers win, I can't imagine how much fun it will be to watch Manny come back to Fenway with Joe Torre. Yank fans eat your heart out. lol
The way Manny is playing and the added motivation of Fenway, will probably add up to 2 hr's each game played there.
I wonder if that was the same pigeon from Game 4. Anyway, the Jays need to trade Jason Frasor and Shawn Camp. I think the Angels and Red Sox both make sense as trading partners. What role do you think Brian Jeroloman will play in 2009. I say he should start. I discuss it all on my blog.
If you want to court Kate you have to become a Blue Jay fan,and remember she is a class -A- lady,If I was a young man I think I would come a calling,I probably have a daughter older than her lol.
And by the way I think she is worth changing teams for.
I say the Dodgers meet Tampa in the World Series,and the Dodgers win.Tore is the Man.
Jeroloman should start in AAA next year along with Thigpen. Hopefully next year Jeroloman learns how to hit himself out of a paper bag, sorry walks don't do it for me-risp and rbi's do. The guy that should be here is Arrencibia, Thigpen should be traded. We have better prospects coming up.
Garry, I wish I knew your wife's email address. If I did I'd copy your post and email it to her and let her know her guy is looking at another gal. lol
You back stabing S.O.B.–LOL.
GSJ.I'm safe Itold my wife what I posted and she thought your post was funny,PHEW.
I think the Jays would love to trade both Camp and Frasor. The problem is they probably wouldn't get much in return-at best a b or c prospect. They might have got more if a deal was done before the trading deadline, but not now.
It would not surprise me if the Jays non-tendered both of these guys, let someone else sign them and get two sandwich draft picks. That's probably the best they can do.
With Accardo coming back, our pen stacks up with BJ Ryan, League, Accardo, Downs, Carslon, Wolfe and Tallet. With Davis Romero fully recovering from his injury and having a good year at Syracuse, Tallet might also be vulnerable. I just don't see any space for either Frasor or Camp. The other guy who might be in the bullpen mix is Richmond who is great against rh's. Both Richmond and Wolfe are better than Camp.
To be with Kate the rules state that I have to be a Jays fan? Hmmmmm. That is a tough one for sure. lol. Time for me to go, I'm off to buy my old school Jim Clancy shirt. LOL!! Then again maybe they'll have a Kelly Gruber shirt. lol.
Jays will get zilch for Camp/Frasor. Neither are type A/B free agents. Camp might have options left so he could start next year in the minors? Not sure. If not, I would assume both are non-tendered considering they are dime a dozen guys. I think JP said they might try Tallet as a starter. That would be kinda scary.
I noticed the list of Jays players in the AFL did not include Brian Dopirak. I might be mistaking, but I thought in the origional release he was included to go. What happened?
You can talk to Scott Campbell on the Jays site.
I think Bosox is ready to switch teams for you.lol.
Well, I won't go deeper into the whole Jeroloman/Camp/Frasor issue because I discuss it all in my blog, but after all this talk about the bullpen, what about Casey Janssen? That's a tough situation. My two cents: he should be used as a starter, and start 2009 in AAA. If anyone gets injured, he can get called up to the majors as a starter or reliever. Plus, after missing so much time, Las Vegas will be a good place for Janssen to get back into the swing of things.
"gsjays" — I don't know why you think so highly of RISP or RBIs, but you should definitely read Michael Lewis's "Moneyball". That will completely change your view on baseball. If you don't want to read a WHOLE BOOK, then I'll leave with a quick bit: RISP and RBIs are serioulsy overrated, and .OBP and .OPS are the two best hitting statistics in baseball. Trust me (or read the book).
Denbro and Riccardi are both converts of money ball and maybe the last two in MLB that are. Denbro stressed OBP this year-and look where it got us-4th place. Over and over again hitters would fail to drive in runs in scoring situations until Denbro was fired.
It's not a coincidence that after Cito and Tennace changed direction which dramatically increased the hitting with risp, our record improved dramatically.
It's all fine and dandy to get on base, but to win the game you need to drive in runs and thats all about hitting with risp and delivering rbi's.
Congratulations, to Matt Stairs who hit his first career post season home run tonight in LA. Called in as a pinch hitter in the top of the 8th inning with the game tied, he hit a "no doubter" and put the Phillies up by 2 runs.
Stairsy CRUSHED it!!!
I believe a good team needs a mixture of OBP guys, RISP guys and OBPS guys. You let the OBP player (near the top of the order) get on base and then you have your RISP guys (4th, 5th in the lineup) drive them in or atleast move them around the bases. You also need some guys with POP to drive themselves and guys on first base in.
A well rounded lineup (see Boston and TB) will be the most consistant and productive, with everyone knowing their role and staying in that mode. KNOW YOUR ROLE is how a TEAM wins. Not money ball or small ball or whatever else term you want to use.
The only thing this team needs is a shortstop with speed and some pop.
Burnett will not opt out.
Stairs is a hero.
That Stairs homer was awesome to watch for fans of the Jays this season.
Somehow, I feel a part of us hit that homerun too, and it feels good. Made my thanksgiving day off.
Burnett opting out is as sure a thing as anything in the history of anything.
Sorry plus but your wrong.
rmattty-I agree totally.
Hey what do you guys think of Beeston coming back? I hope it's longer than just short term. Now if he can convince Gillick to come back as well, we'll be all set.
Bringing Beeston back is one of two positive decisions this club has made (the other Cito ) in a long, long time.
Beeston coming back is a very good move. We know what he brings to the table, and we know we will get max effort in finding the best possible long term solution with him. He truly cares about this franchise's success and that is why he is, in my opinion, the only choice for the interim position. You can't just throw someone in who is not intimately knowledgeable of the personal of the club in a short term position.
Here is hoping that no one wants the job and we get "stuck" with Beeston.
If Beeston stays and he talks Gillick into coming back what happens to JP any ideas anyone.????.
On the road again.lol.
jp will be headed back to wooooster, mass. can't wait, sha, na, na, na, na, na, na, na….good-bye
Grats on the run, Jordan! I've been running for a few years now and I'd be pretty hard pressed to even crack 5 hours.
If Ricciardi can manage to sign either of Tony Fernandez or Pat Borders, I think he can save his job.
If the team fires JP it will cost them two years salery,But if they trade him to another team it will cost them nothing.
The best bet is to trade him in the American League so when we play that team we will be sure of a sweep.
Interesting discussions…
1) Don't know about Camp, but I'd be willing to bet the farm that Frasor ain't coming back.
2) I wouldn't mind seeing Jeroloman get the job as back up next year, to start the year. He's quite possibly the back up of the future for the Jays, and sounds like he's a pretty good one (for a back up). I think Arencibia starting in AAA next year is the right thing to do. If he forces his way up mid-year, so be it.
3) RISP: I think it's very debatable whether or not a player can turn it on and off (by trying harder?) depending on whether or not there's someone in scoring position. If that were the case, why wouldn't they always turn it on? If they have the ability to do so, and don't, they should be held accountable, no?
4) RBI's: Depends a lot on who bats ahead of you and whether or not they get on base, have speed, etc. Also, if you're a power hitter, your RBI totals should naturally be higher because you have the ability to drive in more runs, more quickly, in different types of situations.
5) I also think it's important to have a mix. Walks are good, hits are good, home runs are good, and situational hitting is good. Bottom line is you have to get people on base and then find a way to bring them home. Any time you get on base that's good (OBP), and any time you drive someone in, that's good.
6) JP's not going anywhere for now, and you all know it. Now, if the Jays have a horrible April/May, that might change.
I agree with most of what you said Rene, well said.
How about Boston, unfrigginbelievable.
I know you're a fan of the trilogy, I heard today they're working on a fourth Bourne movie. I don't know how they can continue the story logically given that Ultimatum was supposed to be the last one but i'll look forward to it none the less.
Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you, and be happy.

Beginning today, Tokyo has it's newest, and probably last metro subway line.
The Fukutoshin Line adds a new link between Shibuya and Ikebukero. For short, I've dubbed it the "Fukyu Line".
Have I ridden on it yet? No, why? To get to Ikebukero? No, thanks. I will spare myself any time in "Ikky", wasteland of Pachinko's broken dreams.
It's no coincidence at all, but today is also the anniversary of being with the gf.
The time has gone by quickly. While there have been a few hiccups along the way, I think I've made it this far relatively unscathed. I guess I should be happy that it's one of the few that have gotten this far.
Only time will tell. Wish me luck.
Over the last couple of days, I've been watching a Yahoo Auction with the same Invaders Of The Mummy's Tomb that I used to have.
With an original price of 4000 yen, I thought it was a reasonable price to buy back my memories. Tonight the auction ended at 7000 yen. No, I didn't win it.
I was more than a little disappointed to let it go once more. I guess I'll have to just keep on the look out until I finally get it.

EDITORIAL: It's time to end Torrington schools' ban on technology
It's time to end Torrington schools' ban on technology
For decades, great educators at Torrington High School have attempted to motivate, cajole and teach their students to be curious about the world around them, to seek out knowledge, to expose themselves to other cultures, to take in many points of view in a quest for truth.
They'd love to see more kids getting lost in what the school library has to offer, to dig deeper into each assignment.
Great news! Information stretching beyond what the entire Library of Congress contains is now available instantly to our kids. On devices they can hold in their hands, and reference during classroom discussions, or in study halls, even at lunch.
And we don't have to twist arms to get them to use them. They like doing it!
The Gilbert School in Winsted understands the potential the web - and mobile access to it - has on education. They've distributed iPads to all juniors and seniors at the school. Teachers got them, too.
Torrington, on the other hand, won't even let students bring their own iPads, iPods and smart phones to use during school hours. There's a zero tolerance policy against students the basic technology of 2013 to enhance their education.
It handicaps young adults in Torrington who will shortly be expected to seamlessly integrate such tools into their daily college and work experience. And it exposes the scary gap in the school district leadership's understanding of the web's place in modern learning and life.
Can students misuse a smartphone or iPad, and turn it into a distraction? Absolutely. Just as they've been misusing notebooks and textbook covers for doodling and note passing for the past 100 years.
As always, the task is teaching them how to use each as a tool for learning and addressing discipline issues as they come and as they evolve.

will look in pokemon hacks, but no platnium, DS game.
will look in pokemon hacks, but no platnium, DS game.
admin, i srsly dont remeber what games i had saves for sence i have'nt been on for weeks.
plz i need to remeber what games i had saves on.
Coolmanlogical16 (and other people) you can now access your saved games from http://game-oldies.com/my-saved-games or My Saved Games in the menu.
can you add pokemon platinum please ?
Admin,why you can't add DS games?
Since this seems to be the most used topic for the admins I'm reposting my question here.
I'm trying to figure things out. Let me say maybe it's my system but the game I was playing was so slow it slowed my body system down. Oooh!! So I was playing Zelda II AoL and after taking forever to amass leve 3 EPs and 2 points shy of 1000 I had just killed the Ironknuckle guarding the Candle when my game just vanished and the list of games screen came in. That was yesterday, today pretty much the same thing happened. Only this time it was LoZ and after dying the Save/ Continue/Reset screen came up and after hitting SAVE it froze. and Here I am... ticked again. I included mycomp stats yesterday so that you know what I'm working with. I want to add... I think the problem is within this site not my comp. I say that because there is a site called "80s Arcade" that also offers retro games and I can play a game there just like on my system. The problem in that site is the save system utterly fails even with a reg user and there seems to be noo admins. The site is also called Tripletsandus.com or something like that. (Btw, I thinks it's so inconsiderate to have a site and ignore your patrons.
So a big question I have for here is this: Rather clarification. When you say press F1 etc, you are talking about the top row of keys right not pressing the "F" and thee "1" together. And you're saying do this sometime after you begin playing the game. Then press F2 shortly after. Now hwat happens when you press F2? Will the screen change or is this an enternal thing. You def need a universal SAVE BUtton for all games or a pop up window after each game like Mega Man or something. Give us a code to punch in.
Is that normal? Are these just demos to get us to download the game or can we play the entire game from the page? Also can you please speed up the Zelda II game to play like it should. And PLEASE, PLEASE darken the typeface. It's like looking into the sun. Thanks!
My comp info: Not the best but it workd for me.
My comp is: eMachine Model T3642
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
AMD Anthion 64 Processor 4000+ 2.60 GHz
Recovery is 4.52 of 10.6
Local Disk C; is 157 of 222
My ISP is AOL
I do not wish to load Firefox of Chrome
Please wait for IE8 support.
Firefox and Chrome only so far support saving.
If that post was directed to me, thanks. I will.
Is there a chance of getting email notification of new posts? I guess I'm spoiled by the 21st Century. Another BTW... is that "Are you a real person" code really necessary. It's often hard to tell what the heck the characters are, esp for someone like me with vision problems. And the audios are usually worse.
messinger_2 it is strange that you see the "are you a real person thing" it should only happen to bots crawling the forum and trying to spam.
Where do you live ?
Can i add those pokemon hacks ?
Oh man! I have to use a magnifying glass and lean in to read this type. Please make it darker.
I live on the east coast USA. MD...Do you mean that thing isn't suppose to be seen? I couldn't post without inputting a code.
Well let m ask everyone this. I have played 3 of the NES games and all three were really slow... they work but they're slow; does anyone else have that problem?
Also Admin... I somehow got a game to be put into the Games I've Played tag, however, it comes up without my info. So I am appealing to not necessarily the admins, but to anyone who would like to explain from A to Z how we play a game then SAVE it. Then exit the site and come back later and play that game from where you left off or at least with all the data saved. Playing the games shouldn't be this difficult.
Please give a tutorial, oh and don't assume we know what you know. Odds are I for one don't. So don't l omit the least thing. THANKS!!
I forgot to mention... About the F1 key I guess. Someone made reference to this before... when I press the F1 key my AOL Help screen opens. As for F2 and F3 I thing F2 paused my game and F3 turned it gray. There def needs to be a more uniform way to save these games and data amassed.
messinger_2 really strange.I'm asking your country because in some countries where there is a lot of spam (like China) it can think you are a spammer while you are a legitimate user.
Anyway, thanks for reporting this.
Slow games, try :
1. Close other browser tabs, background applications.2. Try different browsers, Firefox, Chrome, IE10 / 11.
3. Post your computer specs, maybe it's just too old / too slow to handle the games.
I did post my comp spec even gave the model of my comp if you wanted to check out all the fine pts. Please don't ask me to load other browsers. As I mentioned here before... there is a site called 80s Arcade where I have played Legend of Zelda just like on my NES. So It may have been a bit faster but faster is better than this slow speed.
I guess your site and my comp just clash. No other site runs slow like yours.
It's a different emulation technology, Java vs Flash.
Okay, I get dif sites dif setups... however, my comp is suppose to have both javascript and adobe flash loaded. You know having Windows I'm also locked in with MSN Games. And their members are always posting and whining, as am I, about the games not working properly. So they're always giving new instructions on how to get them working.
One way is to lower the Security from Medium/High to just Medium and clearing the Cache. I do that and yeP, the game can be played. Trouble with that: I have to do that each time I restart my comp. So it becomes annoying. My question to them then becomes, instead of all the bells and whistls, why not take the games back to a simpler time when everyone could play them. Sort of like MySpace and now Twitter, change isn't necessarily a good thing. Often it's just a nuisance.
Bragging with caps never helps to get things accomplished.
Saving the game works but when i go back to the site and want to continue it doesn't load :(
The site is really great for lodies lovers but all the hassles make it not worth it. There needs to be more detailed info on how to SAVE, how to retrieve a Saved Game, and whether or not you also need to do the F1 and F2 thing each time you select SAVE while playing. I mean otherwise it just seems as though you save only up to the point where you first saved. And indeed my only game I managed to save when I do get back in only has the beginning where I have only 3 hearts. It's annoying to have to keep doing the same thing. Groundhog's Day.
With so many people who play here only the ADMINS takes the time to help players. I'm so spoiled by sites where users can't wait to help other users.
messinger_2, it's really easy.
Think as a snapshot / photo camera.
Want to "freeze" the game and save ? Press F1.Want to "load" the freezed game ? Press F2.
Admins I got that... really I do. But that doesn't explain my queries fully. For example: If I do the freeze and load as soon as I get say the 1st sword in Legend of Zelda. and after freezing and loading(supposedly) As I play the game I may die in play and the Save/Continue screen will come up. After Saving, do I do the F1 and F2 again? And every subsequent time; and will I have to die if I want to save my progress if I reach level 8.? OR... does my 1st freeze and load SAVE everytime I die even If I end the game without going to the Save/Continue Screen?
And when we leave and come back to the MSG prompt should my game contain up to the last time I saved in game? If so why is it that each time I always have to start with 3 hearts and get that 1st sword AGAIN? Because that's what happens.
Also admins... as I use IE and AOL... I simply can't use the F1 button to freeze. So for me, the F3 button freezes and I guess the F2 button loads. Thinking that to be true and how I saved LOZ... why doesn't the same thing work with LoZ:AoL? I thought for sure I had that game saved and was terribly disappointed to click on MSG and only LoZ was in there.
I'll give this another go.
And I haven't forgotten you said wait for IE work up. The LoZ:AoL is one of my fave Zelda games and if it was in 80s Arcade I'd prolly play it there. I have the game and the NES here but I'm at my comp a lot so I would like to be able to play and save it here. Even though I can't save in 80s Arcade. The site is abandoned by admins.
messinger_2 okay I understand your concerns.
I am working on a new version where save/load work way better using SAVE / LOAD button and compatible with IE.
Sounds good Admins... thanks. I just wish I could figure out why the F3 and F1 buttons saved LOZ... you know what... I'm not even sure it was the F3 and F2. But I know the F1 wasn't involved because it always brings up AOL HELP . Last night I tried to save another game withe the F3 and F2 and never (man this color is murder on my vision.) hitting them again just saving in game and leaving. It didn't work. I'll keep trying to figure it out.
Thanks again for making the site more user friendly for all browsers.
Questions: Do you think IE is the more used browser? I ask because of Microsoft and windows. Its their browser of cjoice isn't it. And isn't windows the most used software or most pre-loaded?
Admins as per post #19 pasted below:
On your keyboard, press F1 to save (wait for grayed screen to go back to normal and game to resume) and press F2 to load."
The wait for game to resume... are you saying wait until you can actually play the game not just the title screen or something?
1) Push Play
2) Allow for game to load
3) Enter the game
4) Select player status
5) Statrt actual game play
6) Any time now press whatever button turns your screen GRAY
7) When the title screen comes back up (Now do I hit the load ...
8) OR do I enter the game again and now hit LOAD F1 or whatever loads your comp?
I don't know why I never asked this before. When you hit F2 and the game is suppose to load... what happens on the screen? Are we suppose to see the load bar or does nothing happen at all? Crazy, I never asked that. When I just started a new game of LOZ and tried saving, with F3 the screen flashed gray. You barely knew it was gray. But with F2 to load nothing happen on the screen immediatley, but the game reset to those 3 hearts and even though I had gotten the sword and named all three files when the game came back onely one file was named and Link was sans sword.
This is why it is vital to know exactly when to freeze and when to load. I'll try again... BTW... what is the character limit on these post?
When can you add pokemon hacks ?
Hey, is there a way to recover progress? I was playing a game, but then I accidentally hit f1 instead of f2 at the beginning, so my whole save file is lost. Is there any way to get it back?
No, unfortunately once you accidently save you're stuck with it but that could change down the road.
Happy Gaming :)
But this should not happen anymore with new system (using SAVE / LOAD buttons with confirmation popup).
Yes save is easy now thanks admin :)
Glad you like it taylor
Good day! I want to return my saved Game because I accidentally press F1 while loading(pokemon emerald).. Can you please help me??
I am afraid this is not possible.
Please refrain from using F1 / F2 and use SAVE/LOAD buttons they have confirmation popups so it's safer in order to prevent overwriting saves.
F1 / F2 system will soon be removed.
And yes, multi saves per game is planned in future.
Can you add more pokemon games Admin ?
If GB / GBC / GBA pokemon games, YES.
If not, no :(
Can add pokemon hacks or pokemon games ? Can you add heartcold or soulsilver ?
Is there a way to bring up the previous saved game. Like for example i was playing summon night sword craft and i clicked saved game before the fight began. However i kept losing the fight because i was not equipped with the proper equiepement and i was not at a high enough level. Therefore i am stuck in the game and can not go back to the previous save i did which was prior to the fight. Help! So the question is, are there more then one save files in the game or is it all just one. Meaning once you save thats it you cant go back to that previous save game before saving the one you currently have.
AquaMeow I can roll back your save if you give me the game name and game system.
Thank you so much. Its summon night sword craft story on the game boy advance
Ok AquaMeow i reverted your save state 3 minutes before (last save before).Hope it helps.
Yes it works thank you very, VERY MUCH!
You're welcome.
its an amazing game to play
How many saved games can you have at once. From how many different games i mean. can you just have one game saved or have multiple games on th site have a saved game. Am i making any sense?
Only one saved game (save state) per user and per game. This is because they are stored on the server, and I keep back 3 copies of your saved states so we can rollback if you do some mistake (save instead of load, bad move in game,...).
can you add pokemon diamond hack ive seen it on v***ed. it has fakemon in the gba hack.
add pokemon mystic hack please
I can't save my Symphony of the night file and I just lost my file cause of that, the save doesn't even seem to work and I just tried the F1 save trick and it still didn't save... WHY?

A young giraffe named Marius was put down at the Copenhagen Zoo on Feb. 9, 2014, despite an online petition to save it signed by thousands of animal lovers.
The Copenhagen Zoo turned down offers from other zoos and $680,000 from a private individual to save the life of the healthy 2-year-old giraffe before killing and slaughtering it Sunday to follow inbreeding recommendations made by a European association.
The giraffe was put down using a bolt pistol and its meat was fed to carnivores at the zoo, spokesman Tobias Stenbaek Bro said. Visitors, including children, were invited to watch while the giraffe was dissected.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is designed to get you immediate relief from your unsecured debts. The Chapter 7 can erase credit card debts, medical bills, repossessions, and stop lawsuits. Once your debts have been discharged in bankruptcy, the law prevents creditors from ever coming back to collect from you. You will get the clean slate you have been looking for in about 90 days.
A Chapter 13 is a reorganization of your debt which allows you to repay some of it over 3 to 5 years. For example, you can catch up on missed mortgage, car payments, or back taxes without penalties. Most importantly, you get to keep your property while you make the payments. Under the right conditions, certain debts like second mortgages and liens on real property can be stripped away.

Is my blog looking a little fat to you? I think maybe it's had a little too much chocolate lately, and is starting to look paunchy around the middle. Maybe it needs a cleanse, one of those detox diets. Or maybe it needs to give up chocolate for Lent. Except that I am pretty certain my blog is not Catholic. And I am very certain that it would fail miserably at such an endeavor. Forty days without chocolate? Impossible. But it is willing to forego the sweets for a day or two in order to bring you this lovely vegetarian stew, filled with all sorts of healthy things and not one little bit of chocolate. Winter still has a pretty firm grip on us here in New England, and this makes a hearty but healthy meal. And it also contains a sizeable dose of one of my favourite spices – cumin.
I fell in love with cumin back in university, after coming across a recipe for cumin lentil soup. It sounded easy to make, and the ingredients were cheap, both pre-requisites for all food in my student days. That soup became a standard for me and I made buckets of it all through undergrad and grad school and well into the first years of my marriage. And I always put in more cumin than the recipe called for. I've long since lost that recipe but it's not a hard soup to recreate, and it's a good one for playing around with and changing things up.
One thing that I always loved about that soup was that if you let it sit for long enough, it became more like stew as the lentils soaked up the broth. This time, I decided to play up that quality deliberately. The original recipe called for potatoes, but I also have a soft spot for barley soup and decided to marry the two together into a thick, hearty, vegetarian stew. With extra cumin, naturally.
This is by no means a low carb meal, as both lentils and barley have a lot of carbs. But they also have a lot of fiber and there is little question that this soup is healthy with a capital H. It was a welcome break in my house after several meals based around meat, and every single person gobbled up their bowl happily. Including my picky, picky baby! I rounded out my meal with some salad and a piece of almond meal bread and was happy to find that my blood sugars were in target range afterwards. This recipe is a keeper, especially if you are still experiencing some chilly weather as we are.
Cumin Lentil Barley Stew
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
8 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup lentils, rinsed and picked over
1 cup barley, rinsed and picked over
1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil over medium heat in a large stockpot until shimmering. Add onion, carrots, celery and salt and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, cumin and coriander and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in tomatoes, stock, lentils and barley. Bring just to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until lentils and barley are tender, about 40 minutes. Stir in spinach and heat through.
Season with salt and pepper.

In defiance of the sudden onslaught of flashing lights comes Girl's Generation's latest single, "Paparazzi." The nine-woman supergroup from South Korea, known for their charming personalities and perfect legs (and covered plenty in the past here at Kotaku), released music videos for the song today. Paparrazi is the lead single for the girl's upcoming Japanese album, and totally beats their last big single, "The Boys," out of the water.
There are two versions of the video: the one above is the longer one, included for the fantastic moment about two minutes in. Those outfits, man! A great revelation indeed.
Those of you that lack patience and just want to see the girls dance, this is the video for you.
The song, the video: amazing, yes—but my favorite thing about new releases are the bevy of gifs the fan community strips from the videos. Here's a few from my friend, Toshi—though we're bound to see even better ones in the coming weeks.
Here are some video highlights:

15. Securing the JMX Consoledlofthouse Feb 4, 2011 10:00 AM (in response to dmanyemwe)
Are you definately running the default configuration? If you check under server/default/log are you seeing the server.log and boot.log updated recently?
16. Securing the JMX Consoleedgarosy Feb 4, 2011 10:03 AM (in response to dlofthouse)
Yes. I can see both being updated today.
17. Securing the JMX Consoledmanyemwe Feb 4, 2011 10:03 AM (in response to edgarosy)
Yes, it is configured that way. I have done this before and it worked fine on AS 6.0.0 but its been giving me trouble since yesterday on AS 5.1.0! I know the .properties files are fine because if I log in using the admin-console (which also uses the jmx-console security domain), the username and password combination it accepts is the one I have in my properties file. It is supposed to be straight forward!
18. Securing the JMX Consoledmanyemwe Feb 4, 2011 10:04 AM (in response to dlofthouse)
Definitely, if i rename my jmx-console.war i see it being undeployed in my log file (I am tailing it)

That question was to Daniel as it is his configuration not being picked up
20. Securing the JMX Consoledlofthouse Feb 4, 2011 10:07 AM (in response to dlofthouse)
Ok, in that case have you ever entered a valid username and password into a pop up window in your web browser? For BASIC authentication it is quite common for the browser to cache the credentials and automatically present them to the server without further prompts.
If you have one available maybe try a connection from a machine / browser that has not been used to connect to the JMX console previously.
21. Re: Securing the JMX Consoledmanyemwe Feb 4, 2011 10:17 AM (in response to dlofthouse)
That was my thinking as well, so I downloaded Chrome and tried with it, same thing, direct access!
Just tried from a non-dev machine, same thing, so it definitely isnt caching. I even rebooted the server, didnt work.
22. Securing the JMX Consolesheital Mar 28, 2011 11:34 PM (in response to dmanyemwe)
Even I am facing same issue, made changes in the web.xml, jboss-web.xml,login-config and the user.properties file. Still the popup to login for jmx-console does not appear. The jmx-console simply comes without the popup.

Were you able to find a solution for it?I have made the following changes.

23. Securing the JMX Consoledmanyemwe Mar 29, 2011 3:26 AM (in response to sheital)
Hi Henna,
Unfortunately I have not solved this problem, but the more secure alternative is to just undeploy the jmx-console. You can move the whole jmx-console.war directory out of /deploy, and should you need it again you can move it in.. not the best solution but given my time constraints thats the best I could come up with!
Good luck.
24. Securing the JMX Consolesheital Mar 29, 2011 4:46 AM (in response to dmanyemwe)
I am able to make it work by making same changes in the files present under JBoss folder present in my code and not under server directory.
Thanks for the suggestion.
25. Securing the JMX Consolevgarmash Apr 3, 2011 12:52 AM (in response to sun81)
for those who find this topic by search:
There is a community courtesy notification for a severe security issue affecting some of the JBoss projects and products. Default security settings in web.xml protect only GET and POST protocols leaving another ones open. Please refer to the following Red Hat KBase article for more information:
JBoss Products & CVE-2010-0738
Only when you apply the solution you can be sure that your JMX Console is protected.
Please note that Web Console has the same issue, and you need to apply the solution to it as well.
Also it is recommended to hash passwords in the config files. Read about how to do it in JBoss Getting Started guide.

27. Re: Securing the JMX Consoleomvinh Sep 19, 2013 4:07 AM (in response to sun81)
I was somehow having the same problem. I made it work as follow:
edit default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml
I found there is missing:
<Realm className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JBossWebRealm" certificatePrincipal="org.jboss.security.auth.certs.SubjectDNMapping" allRolesMode="authOnly" />
between "<Engine name="jboss.web" defaultHost="localhost">" and "<Host name="localhost">"
I am not sure why this is missing. The latest version of Jboss 5.1.0.GA is OK. Maybe, some version before missed it.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers have battled injuries, turmoil and lofty expectations under a heavy spotlight all season, so excuse them if they roll their eyes over the attention given to Kobe Bryant's tweets.
Bryant tweeted throughout the Lakers' loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series. Bryant, out for the season with a torn Achilles, critiqued his team's offense on his Twitter account while watching the national broadcast Sunday afternoon.
Bryant will no longer tweet during games, saying he doesn't want to be a distraction — but was he?
"Absolutely not. I'm a distraction," Metta World Peace said. "I'm much more of a distraction than Kobe is."
World Peace's eccentricities aside, the Lakers have much more to worry about entering Game 2 on Wednesday night.
"Our concern is with the Spurs and what we have to do to get a win tomorrow," Dwight Howard said.
Los Angeles entered the playoffs having won five straight, averaging 105 points in that streak, but had its third-lowest point total of the season in the 91-79 loss in the opener.
The Lakers shot 41 percent (30-for-73), including 3-for-15 from 3-point range. Howard and Paul Gasol combined to go 13-for-25, while guards Steve Nash and Steve Blake were 11-for-28.
"We've got to make shots," Howard said. "We have to make shots. We got some good looks. Both of the Steves had some good looks; I think they will knock down those shots in this game."
The Lakers spent their two off-days following Game 1 working on their offense. Bryant's injury April 12 forced Los Angeles to change the playbook on the fly from a perimeter-based set to one that features Howard down low.
"We cleaned up our offense, how to the get the ball inside-out," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We added some new wrinkles, and defensively, be sure to go over the stuff that didn't work and the stuff that might come up."
Los Angeles limited San Antonio to 38-percent shooting, but the Spurs attempted 12 more shots and had nine turnovers compared to 18 for Los Angeles.
Manu Ginobili had 18 points in 19 minutes in his second game after missing nine straight with a strained right hamstring. Ginobili scored eight straight points to close the third quarter, helping the Spurs take a 70-57 lead.
D'Antoni said the Lakers don't have any secrets to stopping Ginobili.
"I don't think anybody has come up with it yet," D'Antoni said. "We're not going to invent it over the last two days. He's just a big-game time player, always has been, that's been his M.O. since I've known him in Italy. Just have to work it. He's like Parker and Duncan, there is no real defense, there's containment, try to hope he doesn't kill you with a timely 3 and all that. Again he did all that, we scored 80-something points."
Tony Parker also had 18 points, but was 8-for-21 as he struggled to finish under the basket. Parker said he is not fully recovered after battling a sore neck, ankle and shin in the final month of the season, but is getting healthier every day.
"I don't know if we change things (offensively in light of Parker's injury), but you look for other people to help us out scoring wise probably," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Because there are some things Tony is not yet confident with, movement wise, but he's getting better every game, every day and he's much closer to being whole. So I don't think he's going to have a problem as far competing and playing the way we're used to seeing him most of the season."
The Lakers can empathize.
A season that began with the promise of a 17th NBA title following a trade for Howard has devolved with the firing of Mike Brown and injuries to Howard, Gasol, World Peace and Nash. Nash missed Los Angeles' final nine games of the regular season with a hamstring/hip injury and World Peace returned a week after undergoing surgery for a lateral meniscus tear in early April.
"Doesn't matter, pain, no pain, doesn't matter at this point, you go," World Peace said. "That's what it's about — going, that's it. The moment you say I'm playing through pain or playing with some discomfort or I'm not ready or not in rhythm that's an excuse, it's a way out. There's not going to be an easy route trying to reach the goals that we want to reach."
Gasol, who tore his planar fascia, struggled offensively in Game 1. Bryant tweeted the best way to get Gasol on track was to "Post. Post. Post."
Bryant's commentary drew a rolling of the eyes from D'Antoni following Game 1. The coach later added he didn't mind Bryant's tweets, saying the Lakers guard is now "a fan," which drew an "Lol" from Bryant.
"That was a great joke," World Peace said of D'Antoni's "fan" comment. "Mike D'Antoni is slick, boy. That was awesome. Kobe was awesome at tweeting at coach's decisions on the court and coach messaged him back through the media. That's what it's all about."

In Litchfield, 'Cut It Out' ice harvesting event gives participants a taste of the good old days
LITCHFIELD >> The White Memorial Conservation Center in Litchfield hosted their third annual ice harvesting event Saturday called "Cut it Out," providing an opportunity for people to learn about the history and practice of ice harvesting.
The local non-profit located in Litchfield, demonstrated the process of removing blocks of ice from the nature center's pond as well as teaching the history of harvesting in the early 1900's.
According to the Education Director, Jeff Greenwood, the idea for the event came while brainstorming for new events.
"I don't know what really sparked this. We have a big green barn with storage and we discovered ice processing tools in there. We did more research and thought it would be a fun activity to try," Greenwood said.
About 30 people attended the ice harvesting event, where they were able to use old saws, breaker bars, tongs and pikes to remove the ice.
"The whole point is to share the history and give people and opportunity to use authentic equipment that was used by farmers at the turn of the century.
After the blocks of ice were cut they were dragged to the edge of the pond where they were covered in saw dust, used as an experiment to see if it would help keep the ice from melting.
"Today was really the best and perfect winter day. We had a good enthusiastic group," Greenwood said.
Bloomfield resident Mickey Nordell said she came out because she was interested to see the harvesting process.
"I have never seen them use equipment to harvest ice," Nordell said.
Cheshire resident Ken Amann attended the event with his Boy Scout troop.
"I saw the event scheduled in the newsletter and came out to see what it was about. They brought these large ice cutting saws and ice breakers and tongs to drag the ice out of the water. It would take a very tough individual to do this all winter long," Amann said.

Netflix Remains the King of the Stream
With its deep pockets, technical prowess and willingness to operate on thin margins, Amazon has made itself known as one of the most formidable competitors in business. But after getting into video streaming, it has yet to unseat Netflix as king of the hill. Tom Gara reports. Photo: Amazon.

ASICS World Series of Beach Volleyball | 22 - 27 juillet 2014
Lausanne, Switzerland, January 22, 2014 – The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour will once again be the centrepiece of the international beach volleyball calendar in 2014.
From Long Beach in California to Shanghai in China and many places in between players will compete for their share of the $10.2m in prize money on offer from 10 Grand Slams, an inaugural FIVB Grand Slam Final and 10 Open tournaments. The Grand Slams conclude with the first ever FIVB Grand Slam Final, which will offer $500,000 in prize money.
Last year the men's tournament went down to the wire as Latvia's Janis Smedins and Aleksandrs Samoilovs held off the challenge of Brazil's Pedro Salgado and Bruno Schmidt at the Durban Open in December. Brazilian fans did have something to celebrate though as Talita Antunes and Taiana Lima won the women's crown after dominating all season.
It means that both sides will be pushing hard to retain their titles, while the depth of the teams chasing them grows ever deeper.
Initially nine Grand Slam events were named, but in recent weeks the total went up to the maximum of 10 when the Klagenfurt returned as a host following a year off the Tour when the Austrian venue hosted the CEV Beach Volleyball European Championships.
The lake-side resort will once again welcome the crème-de-la-crème of the beach volleyball world as the Austrian city gets set to host the ninth double-gender Beach Volleyball Grand Slam of the 2014 season from July 29 to August 3.
This year will mark the 17th time that the Lake Worthersee site has hosted a stop on the international circuit. With the exception of last season, the men's World Tour has stopped in Klagenfurt every year since 1997 and the women's since 2001. In 2001 Klagenfurt also hosted the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships and this year's tournament will make Klagenfurt the most experienced host in the World Tour's history with 16 men's and 12 women's tournament to its name.
"Beach volleyball players and fans have come to expect the best from Klagenfurt,†said FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graça F°. "I am proud to have the opportunity to now build on the previous successes of this stop on the World Tour and look forward to once again experiencing all that this excellent venue has to offer.â€
"We are very happy to organise the A1 Beach Volleyball Grand Slam in cooperation with the FIVB at Lake Worthersee in Klagenfurt, Carinthia again this year,†said Hannes Jagerhofer of the ACTS Group, the official promoter of the event.
Earlier in the month, the organisers of the Moscow Grand Slam announced a date change to June 11 to 15 so as to accommodate Klagenfurt's inclusion in the 2014 beach volleyball calendar.
Also making a return to this year's calendar is Stavanger in Norway, another popular stop on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour. The unique dockside venue, which hosted the 2009 World Championships, was last present on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour in 2011, after 13 straight seasons, but returns with a Grand Slam from June 24-29.
The ever-popular Stare Jablonki, returns as a Grand Slam after hosting the World Championships last year. The venue on the banks of Lake Mazury will now welcome beach volleyball players and fans from August 19 to 24.
Through the year there are a host of familiar cities hosting Grand Slams; Long Beach in the USA continues for a second season after a successful debut in 2013, while The Hague in the Netherlands is planning on spreading the tournament over four different cities in preparation for their hosting of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships in 2015.
There are also Grand Slams in Fortaleza in Brazil, Berlin, Moscow and Gstaad in Switzerland before the FIVB Grand Slam Final.
The participants in the FIVB Grand Slam Final, for
which the location and dates are still to be confirmed, will be made up of the
top eight nations on the FIVB Beach Volleyball Grand Slam ranking with a
maximum quota of two teams per country, per gender. The newly conceived Grand Slam Final has yet to be assigned and the FIVB
is in negotiations with the promoters who have shown an interest in staging
this event.
Fuzhou in China, Anapa in Russia, Xiamen in China and Phuket in Thailand will once again host Open tournaments with a further five organised in Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, Czech capital Prague, Parana in Argentina and Qatari capital Doha with Durban in South Africa once again bringing the season to a close in December.
The newest addition to the 2014 beach volleyball calendar, the FIVB U17 Volleyball World Championships will be held in Bahia Banderas in Mexico, providing yet another opportunity for young beach volleyball players to come to the fore and gain international experience in their sport.
Polish town Myslowice will once again do the honours of hosting the FIVB Beach Volleyball U23 World Championships while Oporto in Portugal will put its previous experience of hosting the FIVB Beach Volleyball U19 World Championships to practice yet again in 2014. Cypriot resort Larnaka will host the U21 World Championships.
The second edition of the Youth Olympic Games are set to take place from August 16 to 28, 2014 in the Chinese city of Nanjing and it will be the first time beach volleyball will be included in the sporting line-up.

In the early history of Ozark County, B. F. Shumard, Missouri geologist, completed a survey and a map was drawn about 1855 which shows locations of mineral deposits such as: carbonate of zinc, iron, lead, and galena. Furthermore, there were 3 chalybeate or mineral springs listed in the county. These were the main impetus that compelled much of the exploration and mining of Ozark County.
|Southeast Ozark County, 1855
According to another past Missouri geologist, Charles Dake, "It is probably that this region offers better prospects for glass, engine sand, and core sand than it does in most other parts of the State." Two sandstone quarries were being mined in Ozark County as early as the 1850s. The location of these two quarries are difficult to locate presently due to this mining was being done 160 years ago, the lack of documentation, and the large amount of territory being discussed because Douglas County was included as part of Ozark County.
Silver & Gold Mines
Gold fever was prevalent in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Prospectors were scouring through every holler, crag, and old Spanish legend for this precious mineral. According to some newspapers, there were reports being heralded from Ozark County.
Wheeling Register
11 February, 1890
Discovery of a Famous Silver Mine.
Gainesville, Mo., February 10- There is a great deal of excitement here over the reported finding of an old silver mine in this county. Letters with these illegible words, Found this," and with a mark pointing to the East. Searching in the direction indicated, he found a circular opening arched over with close-fitting stones. The finder excavated and found where drifts or runs had been walled up. It is believed that this is an old silver mine, about which marvelous stories were once told by the Indians, but which was lost years ago and to find which many efforts have been made.
Ozark County News
18 January, 1894
L. D. Haskins, of the west part of the county, was in town Saturday. He says the gold mines on Pond Fork are looming up. Large bodies of land have been entered by a company formed for that purpose, and it is said to be positively known that there is something valuable in the ore being taken out there. The value, from assays made, is places at $80 per ton. We hope their wildest dreams may be realized.
The Houston Daily Post
25 January, 1894
Gold has been found in paying quantities on Pond Creek in Ozark county, Missouri.
Ozark County News
1 February, 1894
On reading the account of discovery of gold in Ozark county recently, Capt. Steve Johnson of this city wrote for a sample of the ore, and received by mail a specimen of the alleged gold found at Pond Fork, Ozark county. The sample is of a sugary-looking rock, approximating true quartzite. Capt. Johnson who is an old California miner has no doubt of the correctness of the assay of $80 to the ton, judging from the appearance of the sample, running in streaks.
Mary Belle Green also sent in a few articles that peaked my interest about her grandpa, Wiley Ellison, living in southeastern corner of Ozark County and gold.
Douglas County Herald, Ava Missouri
20 October, 1904
20 October, 1904
Gold in paying quantities has been recently discovered on Liner Creek about 2 ½ miles from Udall. The discovery was made on the farm of Wiley Ellison, and reports compare favorably with the discovery made some weeks ago in the southeast part of the county by N. M. Smith and those made in Taney County this summer.
Ozark County Times
4 February, 1916
Uncle Wiley Ellison an old resident of this county who owns a farm near the Pumphrey Ford on the Big North Fork, 14 miles southeast of Gainesville, has been claiming for a number of years that he has gold in paying quantities on his land. Recently he had samples of the ore assayed and it proved to be 22 percent gold. He has refused an offer of $5000 for his mine.

Uncle Wiley Ellison got his new gasoline engine home Saturday. He is putting in a mill and gin at Liner.
In sending these articles, Mary also wrote, "I wonder if he sold some gold to purchase the engine? He also had a store at Liner Creek somewhere between the bridge and the old cabins. It took money to have these things; so, maybe grandpa found enough gold to live on."
Iron & Zinc Mines
Independent land owners/prospectors have worked small strip or surface mines in Ozark County since the 1850's. For those more adventurous, men have bored through existing caves, attempted in manufacturing lateral shafts, and blown of shear bluffs with sticks of dynamite. If any quantity of "jack" was produced, the inaccessibility to good roads, bridges, and transportation hindered progress and monotonous in making livable profits. One of the mines was owned by Isadora Bush as proprietor for Newton Mining Company in the 1880's.
The St. Joseph Observer
19 February, 1916
Dreams hardly ever come true. A few weeks ago an Ozark county man dreamed he found a gold mine on the hills of his farm. The dreamer had little faith in visions and tried to forget the incident but without avail. At last, just to prove there was nothing in the dream, he took pick and shovel and started to work about 100 yards from his home. His doubts were confirmed for all he found was a rich load of zinc which promises to make him one of the richest men in the county.
Ozark County News
23 August, 1900
County Surveyor, Wonnacott, was in the city last week and informed us that he was just from the west part of the county where he has been doing work for several parties. He says that nearly all the vacant land in that portion of the county has been taken up by speculators for the mineral and that many are opening up and working mines extensively. Mr. Wonnacott thinks that every 40-acre tract in 16-23 & 24 contains valuable zinc.
Ozark County Times

The King mine is located one-forth mile east of Bakersfield and near a creek which supplies water for its operation. It is not operating now, while new machinery is being installed to increase capacity, but will be in operation again soon. It is within a few miles of the Alice mine which is being reopened. Mr. King has operated a general store in Bakersfield for the last 25 years but has leased his store and is now retiring. He plans to continue with his livestock business on his farm.
By 1958, twelve men were working in one mine near Elijah which was producing from one to two car loads of ore per day; and six men were working in another mine near Bakersfield which was producing one car load of ore per day. Four men were working in a third mine near Trail. As late as 1963, the Missouri-Arkansas Mining Company was prospecting for ore in the Bakersfield area.
The Alice Mine
Of all the mining prospects in Ozark County's past, the Alice Mine stood out as one of the most commercial and promising. The Alice Mine was located on one of several large zinc deposits in spanning between Ozark and Howell Counties in Missouri. The Sharp Mine, in Ozark County, was also nearby, and Howell County had the Rex and the G & G mines. It was reported that zinc carbonate ore had been mined, intermittently from these properties since about 1890; estimated production was 85,000 tons of sorted and washed ore varying in grade from 17 to 36 percent zinc. From 1900 to 1904, approximately 6,000 tons of ore was shipped to smelters and zinc oxide plants.
Ozark County News
25 January, 1900
Daniel Dwyer, proprietor of the Alice mines, and Col. Glazier of Stillwater, Oklahoma, have land interests in the county, were both in town yesterday on business. Mr. Dwyre has recently purchased another tract of land adjoining the Alice mining property. The Alice mine is the only one in Ozark county at present doing regular business from a commercial standpoint, and the managers are continually increasing the facilities for more and better work.
The Alice mine consisted of 240 acres; it was an open pit approximately 30 by 250 feet and nearly 50 feet deep. Early development of the mine included two drifts into the southwest side of the pit on a level with the bottom of it. Two shafts were reported sunk from the bottom of the pit to a depth of 50 to 60 feet. Over time, numerous old drifts and shafts had become inaccessible.
As the Alice Mine became particularly productive in the 1930's, it was leased in the 1930's to Sidney Amyx and his sons. On St. Patrick's Day, the 17th of March, 1933, a boiler explosion at Alice Mine took the life of George Harris and injured several others.
Ozark County Times
22 March, 1934
Twelve Injured in Mine Boiler Explosion
One Laborer Dies Among Others Hurt In Explosion
One Laborer Dies Among Others Hurt In Explosion
S. F. Amyx Is In Most Serious Condition.
Twelve men were injured, on fatally, and several of them seriously, in a boiler explosion last Friday morning at the Amyx zinc mine, near Caulfield, Mo., about 22 miles east of here.
George Harris was so severely injured he died that evening about 4o'clock without regaining consciousness. Besides scalds it is believed his back was broken. All the injured, including Harris, were taken to the Hogan hospital at West Plains. All those hurt were badly scaled; some had broken bones besides other injuries. The injured included S. F. Amyx, Homer Roberts, Dave Sanders, 33; Henry Hensley, Raymond Hensley, 27; C. H. Bracket, Herbert Briggs, William Briggs, Anderson Harris, Edward Wilson, all of Caulfield, and Ralph Brown, 27, of Elijah.
After the tragic events of St. Patrick's Day, 1934, more work did occur at this mine. In the 1940's, the Alice mine was owned by G. E. Doane and Lee E. Ives of Poplar Bluff, MO. By 1942, the Alice was selected as the first to be investigated by the Bureau of Mines in an effort to demonstrate reserves and production of the district up to World War II. Accordingly, these properties, the Alice, G & G, and Rex, were surveyed. They were examined in November, 1942, by an engineer of the Bureau of Mines. The diminishing national reserves of zinc ore had been at the forefront of national security due to World War II. Therefore, and the U. S. considered surveying sulfide ores by churn drilling.
A. L. Kidwell, geologist, studied and mapped the Alice deposit, logged the drill holes, and advised on the direction of the exploratory work. J. S. Cullison, of the Missouri School of Mines assisted in the project. Also, the Missouri Geological Survey and Water Resources also cooperated. Mr. Doane and Jack Johnson, mine foreman, furnished much useful information regarding the earlier mining operations at the Alice and elsewhere in the district. On August 20, 1944, the exploration in the Alice area had begun, and finished September l6, 1944, by the North Range Mining Co. of Minnesota; seven churn drill holes were drilled totaling 1,800 feet. Again, more drilling was done on May 11, 1945, and completed on March 7, 1946, with a Bureau-owned Star 71 churn drill. This 2 square mile district was centered on the Alice pit. Measurements were taken at 1,000 foot intervals along a grid.
The Alice Mine Today.
Though silver, gold, or zinc mining is no longer a part of Ozarks' economy, its' progenitors have etched traces of their successes and tragedies in the soil. There is something in their character of exploration and survival that should compel us on today. Furthermore, we should never let the sands of time erase the etchings of their triumphs and struggles, which is all a part of our Ozarks' History.

Vaas Montenegro
"Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? Insanity is...doing the exact same fuckin' thing over and over and over again and expecting shit to change."
Simply put, Vaas Montenegro is downright nuts. He's also violent, unpredictable, prideful, and extremely dangerous. Vaas started on this downward spiral when he became addicted to drugs brought to Rook Island by Hoyt Volker. He eventually joined up with the self-appointed warlord after Hoyt promised him power and wealth. Now he is one of the most feared men on an island full of madmen.
Vaas is the main antagonist in Far Cry 3. He has been on the island a long time, and has drifted into insanity. He and his band of pirates kidnap Jason and his friends when they land on the island. After Jason and Liza escape from him, he is determined to recapture them and kill them. He then finally met his end at the hands of Jason Brody.
Vaas Montenegro is voiced by Canadian actor Michael Mando.
The "Voices of insanity" trailer series feature Mando as he records the voices for Vaas Montenegro.
Mando originally tried out for a different role, but didn't get the part. Instead, through his audition, the character Vaas was born and they scrapped the idea of the other character.

Heat Maps
2012.04.17 -
Recently we have discussed how we incorporate feedback into our design decisions. In addition to valuable feedback on the forums, another important form of feedback we receive is gameplay data. Our data collection is extensive. We track nearly every player action, from individual bullets fired to weapon purchases, and the resulting data can be used to help us evaluate game design decisions.
A straightforward way to visualize the data we collect is through heat maps. Heat maps can reveal player preferences, choke-points in maps, sight-lines for snipers, and much more.
Click here to view a series of heat maps showing firing locations for 6.5 million bullets recorded while beta testers played de_train. Players have fired a weapon in nearly every inch of this map, though of course some locations are more popular than others. Take a look, head to the forums, and let us know what you think!

I have only just started using gvim less than a week ago, and I must say I love it. I know very few of its features yet but I can already work as fast as I could with NEdit - I expect my editing speed will increase a lot once I'm really used to Vim. Yes, having to switch between command and edit mode seems a nuisance at first, but it removes the need for a lot of extra keypresses - rather than Ctrl-this/Ctrl-that'ing, you just hit a single key (or two) to execute some command. I can only recommend this editor to everyone. Just suffer through the initial getting-to-know phase and you'll be rewarded richly.
Do take the vimtutor! That is what got me started for real. Don't try to figure Vim out on your own cause it will take you ages to collect a useful set of shortcuts. The tutor will get you started on becoming productive in very little time. Go through it again after 2 or 3 days of using Vim for a refresher, then print the reference card.
This editor really rocks. I'm glad I was repeatedly nagged to try it :-)

What is the prevalence of diabetes?
In this step we will consider the wider problem of diabetes increasing across the world.
International Diabetes Federation. IDF Diabetes, 7 ed. Brussels, Belgium: International Diabetes Federation, 2015.
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF):
The estimated diabetes prevalence for adults between the ages of 20 and 79 worldwide for 2015 was 415 million and it is expected to affect 642 million people by 2040. It is estimated that 193 million people globally have undiagnosed diabetes, and most of these cases are Type 2.
The IDF estimated that in 2015, six countries had more than 10 million people with diabetes: China, India, the United States of America, Brazil, the Russian Federation and Mexico. Diabetes affects people in both urban and rural settings worldwide, with 269.7 million cases in urban areas and 145.1 million in rural areas.
Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent form of diabetes and has increased alongside cultural and societal changes. In high-income countries up to 91% of adults with the disease have type 2 diabetes. It is estimated by IDF that 193 million people with diabetes are undiagnosed and are therefore more at risk of developing complications.
One in 15 adults is estimated to have impaired glucose tolerance, and one in seven births is affected by gestational diabetes. Both of these conditions are associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in later life.
Whilst Type 1 diabetes is less common, it is still increasing by around 3% every year, particularly among children.
If you're interested in finding out more, you may wish to look at the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Diabetes Atlas (7th Edition). An updated 9th edition, from 2019, is also available here.
Does anything surprise you about these figures? Discuss this data with your fellow learners, thinking about about the 2015 figures and the forecasted figures for 2040.

text: Joe Williams, the Cleveland born 24-year old behind White Williams, played piano from a young age, often being scolded by his piano teacher for making his own sounds and messing with the pedals. By the age of 15 he was drumming for a noisy scream band whose first show was opening up for Black Dice and the Rapture. Playing in DIY venues exposed Joe Williams to a wild party lifestyle of fires, noise bands, art and performance. With a growing interest in electronic music, he started making music on his computer incorporating samples, triggered drums and machines, and formed his first electronic music project, So Red, in 2001. Since then White Williams has toured with Gregg Gillis' Girl Talk and Dan Deacon, and found himself gravitating towards pop music with the use of vocals and physical instruments. White Williams became enamored with learning about the studio situations of his favorite albums of the 70's and 80's. This shows up in Smoke, where many of the sounds are algorithmically generated, guitars and vocals repitched, copied and pasted, and sometimes heavily edited or not edited when they should be. The result is a truly modern - yet at certain moments nostalgic - collection of irresistible pop songs.

Sugar Rush: Verē Chocolate
In February, Ed posted about Verē Chocolate, founded by Kathy Moskal. Kathy's chocolate factory right off Broadway on 27th Street (a two-minute walk from Shake Shack, I might add) is opened to the public Monday through Thursday from 12 to 5 p.m., and Fridays from 12 to 6 p.m.
Drop in during these hours for a little tasting of their house-made dark chocolate confections as well as a little history of Verē. Here you also have a chance to purchase from their full array of sweets, including their lines of dark chocolate bars, organic chocolate bars, caramels, and other chocolate snacks. My favorites, after the jump.
The Crunchy Stuff collection features three different snacks: the Coco Crisp Mix (crispy brown rice cereal, coconut chips and roasted pistachios), the So Good It's Nuts Mix (ginger and lime with crispy brown rice cereal and salt-roasted peanuts), and Pump'dcorn Mix, my favorite of the trio. Imagine clusters of caramelized popcorn enrobed in dark chocolate and spicy toasted pumpkin seeds. This one in particular pairs awesomely with generous scoops of Ronnybrook Dairy's vanilla ice cream.
Dark Chocolate Covered Brownies are akin to a single bite of flourless chocolate cake light coated in a thin, crackly dark chocolate shell.
Cinnamon + Pecan Chocolate Caramels are lush and light. Every bit is pure, clean, and to the point with the essence of fresh cream strongly shining through.
It surprises me that more people don't know about Verē's factory hours—the chocolate factory was empty the entire time I was there in the afternoon. A range of local shops carry her confections, though rarely can you find the entire line housed under one roof. And the best part? Kathy is as genuine as can be, and justly proud and passionate of her chocolates. She's also got a line of sweets for diabetics and vegan chocolates—there's something to suit all needs without sacrificing quality.

We had held out hope that the live action Smurfs movie would be fun for all ages, like the NYC-set fantasy film Enchanted. Instead we got more chipmunks. At least there's a Neil Patrick Harris intro.
Did you hear what they did? By mixing the Smurf theme song and "Wild Thing," they made Smurfs cool, right? Don't forget to check out the film's website, Smurfhappens. GET IT? GET IT? Smurf=shit.
See you all in the theaters July 29 2011.

Summary : Earthquake-Report.com was alerted by a weak but shallow earthquake shortly after 5 PM. Every day tens of earthquakes of this magnitude are occurring all over the world, so nothing special here. Shortly after the first shaking we mentioned already the possibility of cracks in walls. While checking local reports we detected some light damage in the Lorca area and we also got a notice that an elderly institute had to be evacuated. 2 hours later a much stronger and also shallow 5.2 aftershock occurred. It was immediately clear to us that this last quake increased the potential for damage and injuries a lot. Soon thereafter the first reports on damage to private houses, municipality buildings and historic places were published. Authorities did all that they could to help the unfortunate Lorca people. Stay tuned to Earthquake-Report.com as we will also give other news-facts in the coming hours.
Casualties and damage : 9 fatalities (including 2 pregnant woman and 1 14 year old child);
3 seriously injured, 324 treated for minor injuries. 161 houses and buildings are structurally damaged and uninhabitable. Yellow markings have been painted on 549 buildings (approx. 5,490 households or 40% of total) (Yellow marking means that people can pick up their belongings safely, but cannot return home yet).

13.05.2011 – Earthquake Lorca : Earthquake preparedness attitude might have saved some lives
At Earthquake-Report we are upset that a lot of people living in Lorca and other potentially dangerous earthquake sensitive areas in the world are not at all earthquake prepared. Main Reason : People have often had NO specific training on being earthquake prepared AND panic is taking over from rational thinking.
