Former conjoined tortoises go separate ways at home
Before
After
By Jeordan Legon | Thursday, February 26, 2004 Posted: 10:28 AM EST (1528 GMT) CNN
Peanut Butter and Jelly are savoring their independence.
The former conjoined tortoises -- who drew worldwide media attention when they were separated in a delicate three-hour operation February 8 -- returned home to Tucson, Arizona, this week showing signs of relishing their separate lives, owners Sharon and Bobby Ehasz said.
"They have very different personalities," said Bobby Ehasz, 29, an Air Force officer who rescued the African leopard tortoises after seeing them for sale on a popular reptile Web site.
While they remained close in the hours following surgery, Peanut Butter -- the more vivacious of the two -- loves exploring his new 10-gallon tank, peeks his head out often and eats nonstop. His brother, Jelly, prefers snoozing under a heat lamp.
"Our biggest fear was knowing that they could both die," Ehasz said. "Thank goodness they're still here."
The prognosis for Peanut Butter is excellent, said veterinarian Jim Jarchow of Orange Grove Animal Hospital who operated on the reptiles at no charge except for the cost of anesthesia. But Jelly's future is less certain, he said.
Jarchow said Peanut Butter is more robust because he kept the large intestine that was shared by both animals. African leopard turtles, which have 15- to 20-year life spans, depend on bacteria in their large intestines to break down plant food.
Jelly will have to make due with only his small intestine. It's still uncertain whether the stomach tube used to feed him a liquid diet of soybeans, egg yolks and minerals will be enough to sustain him.
"I'm sure we're going to have problems," Jarchow said. "How serious, we still don't know."
Ehasz said his wife worries that bills will keep piling up to care for the 4-inch turtles, whose scars are covered in gauze hardened with epoxy. Already, the couple said they used part of their tax refund check to pay roughly $300 in anesthesia bills. That's in addition to $700 they shelled out to buy the 3-year-old reptiles in December.
More hospital stays and surgeries also may be needed to correct a curvature in the turtles' bottom shell, which keeps them from walking properly.
"It's all worked out the way it should have so far," Ehasz said, thanking a handful of donors who helped pay for medicines and a new plexiglass-enclosed home he's building for the pets. "It's our responsibility to keep taking care of them." ¶ 2/26/2004 11:40:00 AM 0 comments

Okay he's not really my hero, but he is cool
Tony Kornheiser is my hero. I am a big fan. He's a good writer and also very good at expressing his thoughts (of which I am not). He's leaving his radio show later in March, but will remain on PTI. Lately I have been hooked to his radio show and PTI.
He's leaving to concentrate on other duties. Host of the Tony Kornheiser Show for more than six years, he'll now devote his time to ESPN's popular Pardon the Interruption, which he co-hosts with Michael Wilbon, other ESPN assignments and his Washington Post column.
Kornheiser started in radio at WTEM-AM in Washington D.C. in 1992. He joined ESPN Radio in November 1997, with his weekday 10 a.m.-1 p.m. ET show premiering on Jan. 5, 1998. He has been a sports columnist at the Post since 1984.
Pardon The Interruption is a live and provocative show devoted exclusively to sports opinions and headline issues. The 30-minute program originates from Washington, D.C. and features Washington Post columnists Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon. They address a variety of issues each program, which includes in-studio and out-of-studio contributors.
Kornheiser and Wilbon, who have been debating each other in the sports and style pages of the Washington Post for more than two decades, face-off nightly on the day’s hot topics. Timely interviews with newsmakers frame the debates. Viewers also have an opportunity to ask questions and voice opinions.
The Hosts
Tony Kornheiser -- sportswriter, radio host, syndicated columnist, Washington Post humorist and author -- began his career at Newsday in New York followed by a stint at the New York Times. He has been with the Washington Post since 1979, as a sports columnist there since 1984, and in 1990, began writing a regular column in the Washington Post’s Sunday Style section. He joined ESPN Radio in November 1997 as host of the Tony Kornheiser Show, which premiered Jan. 5, 1998.
Michael Wilbon became a fulltime columnist for The Washington Post in 1990 and has developed a reputation for offering commentary on wide-ranging issues of the day as they relate to sports. He came to the Post in 1980, and has covered Howard University, Georgetown University, the University of Maryland, the Baltimore Orioles, national college sports and the NFL before being named a columnist in 1990. ¶ 2/24/2004 10:26:00 AM 0 comments

Friday Afternoon.
Man. I really hate friday afternoons. Well, I like them. But as far as work is concerned, I dislike them. I'm never in much of a mood to want to get much done on friday afternoon. I would go as far as to say, i'd work an hour or so extra every day so that I could always get Friday afternoons off. But thats never going to happen. So I'll suck it up again and deal with it. Get some things done etc. I'm going to Plattsburgh with Rezi tonight and tomorrow we'll hang out and hopefully I'll kick someone's ass at Madden, then later head down to Albany for a Mardi Gras part with some other bands (Unexplained Bacon, Scarecrow Collection, Jerkwater Ruckus, and some others).. Fun times. Time to call Spunk to see when these cats are coming through.

Teeth People
Exciting.
Forgot to tell you that last week I was diagnosed with a record setting (for me) 7 cavities.
Well today I went in for 3 fillings and it set me back 67 freaking dollars.
Outrageous.
Best part is, that I get to do it over again tomorrow. Yay. Can't you tell I am excited. ¶ 2/19/2004 11:30:00 AM 0 comments

Hundreds of coins found in patient's belly
BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- French doctors were taken aback when they discovered the reason for a patient's sore, swollen belly: He had swallowed around 350 coins -- $650 worth -- along with assorted necklaces and needles.
The 62-year-old man came to the emergency room of Cholet General Hospital in western France in 2002. He had a history of major psychiatric illness, was suffering from stomach pain, and could not eat or move his bowels.
His family warned doctors that he sometimes swallowed coins, and a few had been removed from his stomach in past hospital visits.
Still, doctors were awed when they took an X-ray. They discovered an enormous opaque mass in his stomach that turned out to weigh 12 pounds -- as much as some bowling balls. It was so heavy it had forced his stomach down between his hips.
Five days after his arrival, doctors cut him open and removed his badly damaged stomach with its contents. He died 12 days later from complications. Continue the article ¶ 2/19/2004 11:13:00 AM 0 comments

Rezi weekend
Wow. What a weekend. I had an excellent time again hanging out with my friends from Oneonta. Friday night was spent at the Cafe in Gloversville. The show was superb. The crowd was a little smaller than normal due to the fact that another popular band was playing a half hour away at Beardslee. There was a sick Oblivious into Lemmings and back into Oblivious in the second set that tore the roof off. The Gloversvillians were in full effect again, but this time there weren't any fights like normal. The Rooley monster rickied it up and several new people came out to see what the hype was all about. All of which left with a smile on their face.
Of course being the lazy forgetful bastard that I am, I forgot my blank tapes to record the show. I almost drove back to get them before the show, but decided to just sacrifice the show to the Gods of unrecorded music. I would try the next day to find blank tapes in Oneonta with no success. I could not find Andris's studio for the life of me.
So we leave after the show and drive to Oneonta. That was a hellish drive but we finally made it at 5 AM. I am not a big fan of driving extremely late at night, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. We made it. That's all that matters. 30A has too many hills. My car doesn't especially like it. But it was happy when we reached 88 and I smoked past Ellis and that slow ass van.
Saturday broke apart into four sections. Section 1 was getting breakfast and driving around Oneonta to find somebody that sells DAT tapes. Mark Pawkett had a few good ideas, but I didn't go back to the Eight note to find some Ricky who might have the number to some other Ricky who might know where I could find one. Radio Shack didn't have them. Everyone else said to try Radio Shack. Thanks. Section 2 was spent on the couch at Ellis and Doinks place getting my ass beat in Madden. I came close once but missed a field goal at the end of the game. It hit the cross bar and bounced out. Crap. I easily lost 8 games, then Spohn dropped in to give me my 9th loss for the day. Wow, that is really bad I thought. Section 3 was spent at the Autumn Cafe enjoying another sweet Rezi show. The place was packed. Karibe was off the hook. The whole show was good. Oblivious opened. Section 4 was spent at some random keg party at some random person's house I didn't know. Somebody knew them, so thats all that matters. After that we made it back to West St and thats when Crazy Ellis came over and I had to kick him out cause it was late and the sun was coming up. I watched him fall down the stairs so that made it somewhat better.
The next day I hung out with Travis and Wayne for a good while and then stopped over to Ellis and Doinks for one last call on the Madden reel. I kept it close against Doink the whole game. I stopped him as time was running low in the fourth quarter. I drove and Vick scored. He got the ball and I intercepted it and ran it back for a touchdown. Game set match. I am the best ever. I left Oneonta immediately after, claiming victor, and never looked back. ¶ 2/18/2004 05:58:00 PM 0 comments

ARod Trade
I can't believe it finally happened. But more impossible to my beliefs: Am I actually starting to like the Yankees? First off the money part is insane. The Rangers will still pay 50+ million of his contract. The Yankees now have 6 of the richest 12 contracts in baseball history. Thats crazy. But also, ARod has 345 home runs. The guy is 27. The next closer person by the age of 27 had 290 something home runs. He has almost a hundred more than Hank Aaron did at that age. Wow.
Here is what I have learned since the ALCS
1. I don't like the red sox
2. I don't hate the yankees
3. Its such a bitch slap to the redsox that the yankees got arod. I like it. I like AROD.
4. I'm starting to have feelings for the yankees I've never had. I'm a diehard Braves fan and will always root for the Braves in any scenario... But as far as the AL is concerned. I'm going to start pulling for the Yankees, albeit not very loudly. When people ask why I have all of a sudden changed how I thought about the Yankees, I will say "I'm from NY, deal with it"... and then i will continue to talk about 345 home runs by the age of 27, 26 world series championships.. etc etc..
5. It kind of hurts me to say that I'm starting to like the Yankees, but... the Braves are still better. (But I am pissed they lost Sheffield, Lopez, Maddux, etcetc) ¶ 2/18/2004 05:58:00 PM 0 comments

All Star Weekend
The NBA All Star game was entertaining. Shaq in full effect. Kobe having a good game. The East a lot stronger than people would have expected, and they should have won the game. Bob Jones's cousin; Fred, won the worst dunk contest ever. The dunk Richardson did was the coolest dunk I have ever seen. The rookie game was extremely entertaining as I am a big fan of Carmelo and LeBron. I'm glad the West won the game. I hope the Lakers can cut through the bullshit, keep Phil, keep Kobe, and continue to stack on the NBA championships.

Ricky cut his dreads off
Valerie Zucker, who handles public relations for Ricky Williams and the Run Ricky Run Foundation, said Williams shaved off his trademark dreadlocks and is going with the bald look.
"He had planned on doing it," Zucker said. "It was not a random thing."
Williams, on vacation in Australia, had kept the dreadlocks uncut since childhood. Williams, who prefers anonymity, will be less recognizable, and defenders won't be able to tackle him by the hair anymore. ¶ 2/18/2004 05:57:00 PM 0 comments

Mood Mind
Sometimes I wear headphones at work just so people don't talk to me.. Like right now for instance. I'm in a strange mood, and don't really want to be bothered.. I have headphones on, but there's nothing playing.
Also, I haven't forgotten about you. I have a lot of topics that I need to discuss and should be able to talk at length about them at some point sometime soon.
Until then, Happy Hump Day. ¶ 2/18/2004 09:36:00 AM 0 comments

But.. the basic concept is you have three groups of drivers. The very best. The good. And the guys who dont win much. Everyone can be on your team. And I dont know how the points work but thats it..
The Daytona500 is this weekend.
I don't know a whole lot about racing, and I don't really follow it.. But, it seems like a fun idea.

Vick's Truck in Trouble; But Vick isn't
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- Two men are facing drug felony charges after they were stopped by police while driving a pick-up truck co-registered to Michael Vick.
A patrol officer stopped the white truck on the evening of Feb. 3 because the license plate looked as if it had been tinkered with, a police spokeswoman told the Newport News Daily Press. She said the registration on the 1997 Ford F-150 expired in June 2003, but the plate had a 2004 decal.
The driver, Harry Leon Snead, Jr., was carrying $1,420 in cash. The passenger, Jerry Lee Garner, 23, had about 1½ ounces of marijuana with a street value of $400 to $500 hidden in his pants, police told the newspaper.
Snead and Garner were jailed on various charges including possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and conspiracy to commit a felony.
There is no evidence to connect the Falcons quarterback with the arrests, police told the newspaper. The truck is registered to Vick and Charles W. Reamon, Jr., a nephew of Vick's former Warwick High coach, Tommy Reamon.

Simpsons Movie?
Woo-hoo! Simpsons movie planned | Staff and agencies | Thursday February 12, 2004 | The Guardian
Fifteen years after they first appeared on US TV screens, the Simpsons are to make their feature debut in a movie devised by the show's creators, Matt Groening and James L Brooks. The film will be backed by Fox, which also plays host to The Simpsons TV series.
At present the feature remains in its early stages. Chris Meledrandri, head of animation at Fox admitted that the team was "very excited about the possibility of making a Simpsons movie. However, we are in the very early stages of developing an idea."
The Simpsons, the brainchild of cartoonist Matt Groening, follows the antics of a dysfunctional American family headed by the beer-drinking, belligerent and work-shy Homer. Having begun life as a novelty item on the Tracey Ullman Show, The Simpsons went on to become a multi-million dollar industry, adored by the public and acclaimed by the critics.
Discussing the movie, co-creator James L Brooks appeared to send mixed messages as to its content. "We've got a very good and interesting idea, and it's different from the show," he said, and then appeared to contradict himself, saying: "You know, it's like the South Park movie, where it's a bigger, longer, amplified version of the show. I can't tell you anything specific about it. My wife doesn't even know the secret."

College Ball
The College Basketball season is starting to pick up in a major way but here is the thing. Duke should be #1 even though they have a loss. Stanford and St Joe's are the nations only undefeated teams and they are ranked 2nd and 3rd. Stanford's only hard team to beat was Arizona and St Joe's hasn't played anyone good. Duke is in the hardest conference in America (right now) and is undefeated. The ACC will have 7 or 8 teams in the NCAA tournament while the Pac-10 will probably have 2 or 3 and the Atlantic 10 will just have St Joe's. So even if St Joe's and Stanford go undefeated for the rest of the season, they will still not be #1 as long as Duke keeps winning. The tournament will obviously decide the true champion anyway, and rankings are moot.. but people that think Duke shouldn't be #1 should just shut up. They are a monster team.

Best in Show
Josh, a big and gleaming black Newfoundland, has strutted his way to victory at the 128th Westminster Kennel Club show.
Hi I am Josh.
I am the best dog.
Yeah, thats right.
You better love me.
I am the best.
Best Dog Ever!!
Josh, a Newfoundland stands by his handler after winning 'Best In Show' at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in New York City(AFP/Getty Images/Stephen Chernin)
Josh tied for the biggest dog ever to win at Westminster at 155-pound (70 kg). The other one was the only other Newfoundland to win, back in 1984. Make no mistake, though: Josh is no clumsy canine. He glided in the Garden, his shiny coat reflecting the spotlight.
To become the best of the 2,624 entries and win his 46th best in show title, Josh beat an impressive lineup. Coco was the nation's No. 1 show dog last season, while a Pekingese called Les, a standard poodle named Miki and an Ibizan hound called Bunny made it to the top seven for the second straight year.
The 4-year-old Newf, officially called Darbydale's All Rise Pouchcove from Flemington, N.J., also was a repeat winner in his group. And he had one major factor in his favor: Yamada was the same judge who picked him to win the working group last year. ¶ 2/12/2004 12:26:00 AM 0 comments

Falcons switch to Red Jerseys
The Atlanta Falcons today announced a change to their uniform specifications for the 2004 season. The team will switch its primary ‘home’ jersey to red after wearing black at home for the past 14 seasons. The Falcons will continue to wear white pants during the 2004 campaign. The black jersey will serve as the team’s alternate third jersey.
The Falcons first wore red jerseys in 1971 and kept them all the way through the 1989 season. Declared the team’s alternate third jersey in 2003, red jerseys were worn twice last season, against the Tennessee Titans on November 23 and again in a nationally-televised 20-14 overtime win against the Carolina Panthers on December 7.
“I’m a big fan of the red jerseys,” offered Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who made his first start of the 2003 season against Carolina and rushed for 141 yards. “They’ve got a really nice look to them. I know that our fans love them, too.”
Last year the Falcons introduced a new logo and changed their uniforms for the first time since 1990. The home uniforms consisted of black jerseys and white pants, while the road attire featured white jerseys and white pants. The team also introduced modified versions of the uniforms, which included wearing black jerseys with black pants at home and white jerseys with black pants on the road. ¶ 2/11/2004 11:47:00 AM 0 comments

Mike Tyson is Bankrupt
Does anyone care?
The former heavyweight champion, who earned more than $200 million in his two-decades-long boxing career, was down to his last $5,553 as of Dec. 31, according to papers filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York.
Tyson has been pummeled financially for months. The specifics of his debt woes were reported by Bloomberg News on Tuesday. Tyson filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August.
According to the court documents obtained by Bloomberg, Tyson also had $174,000 in property and equipment and more than $10.2 million in liabilities at the end of December. He reported earning $720,018 and spending $85.50 in December and earning $5.68 and spending $22,000 in November.

NFC 55 - AFC 52
Okay, In a normal world the Pro Bowl is stupid and boring. However, this year there have been many exceptions to the Norm of sports. The final score last night of the game was 55-52. The NFC won. The game smashed all sorts of Pro Bowl records and was completely entertaining for most of the entire game.
The AFC was winning 38-13 and it seemed like they were on the verge of blowing away the NFC. Then they started fumbling everything and throwing interceptions to everyone.
The previous high score for any team in the Pro Bowl was 51. The AFC beat that record and Lost. The NFC came back to win the game and my Atlanta boy Alge Crumpler scored a 31 yard touchdown. Check it out.

50 Cent fan ordered to listen to Opera
IN DA OPERA CLUB!
A judge in MIAMI has ordered a man to listen to over two hours of opera for playing 50 CENT's music too loudly in his car.
Miami Beach recently introduced new strict noise abatement laws – if the police can hear your stereo from 100 feet away, they can charge you. Giant electronic billboards on Miami’s Ocean Drive now warn drivers: "No Loud Music!"
Last week Michael Carreras was found guilty of playing 50 Cent's ‘In Da Club’ too loudly at 5am.
Judge Jeffrey Swartz gave the 32-year-old club promoter the choice of paying a $500 fine or listening to Verdi’s ‘La Traviata’ in the judge’s chambers.
"You impose your music on me, and I'm going to impose my music on you," Swartz told Carreras.
As Carreras listened to the two-and-a-half hour opera, the judge told him: "It's like everything else. It's about love, betrayal and death."
Carreras found the punishment "relaxing", reports local newspaper the St Petersburg Times. ¶ 2/05/2004 04:16:00 PM 0 comments

For Kelly
Kelly. I'll try not to post so much about football.
I know some people check this page out (why, i'm still not sure) and don't really care about my football reactions.
FYI, I still haven't used that beverage warmer.. I need to bring in an extension cord or something. ¶ 2/02/2004 10:17:00 AM 0 comments

Great Super Bowl
an all around great game.
For a while i worried that the final score would be 3-0, but the game turned out to be fantastic.

Damn it John Elway
nah actually im a fan.. ive always liked john elway.. i just watched on tv, the recap of super bowl 33. the only one the falcons were ever in and it takes me back to that time.. see, that whole month (january 1999) i spent at San Salvodor Island in the Bahamas for school and i was completely away from everything. it was cool. but different for sure. you definately had that feeling of isolation because you were stuck on an island for three weeks, which is just about the length necessary before it almost drives you crazy.. i remember watching the NFC championship game at the Riding Rock Inn and hanging out with some chick who was the only other person in the whole group who cared about football. It was the one day we had off really for the whole trip. We did stuff everyday like snorkeling on the beach, checking out local places and what not.. ahh.. it was nice. and also the best possible way to ever earn a college lab credit.
super bowl sunday was the day we left the island, it killed me that i could not watch the game live. we flew back through Miami on our way North and this was where the Super Bowl was. I remember leaving Miami and looking down and seeing Joe Robbie Stadium where the end zones were painted Broncos and Falcons. i tried so hard to not hear what the score was during the game. I slept some on the plane and listened to music but every so often the pilot would say the score to everyone on the plane. there werent that many on the plane either. ahh.. but anyway. the flight is over and i still dont know the final score. my parents were cool to not tell me. even though they knew. i get home and im an idiot cause ive been on an island for three months without the internet and email and such.. so im stupid and go on aol or some shit and saw john elways picture right there. i knew they had won but didnt want to admit to myself. i went upstairs with the tape and watched the game.. it was a blowout. the falcons were coming back in the end but john elway spoiled it. i wasnt mad at him though, i was happy to see him end his career that way even if the falcons had to be the team to lose it to him. it was great just to be in the super bowl.
so when the falcons come back next year. and mike vick is healthy and we have improvements all the way around the roster, it will be great. i cant wait to root for my team in the super bowl soon. ¶ 2/01/2004 04:31:00 PM 0 comments
