The crocodile is suspected in the deaths of a local farmer,who went missing in July, and for eating a 12-year-old girl, identified as Rowena Romano, whose head was bitten off two years ago.(Source)
Giant croc ate a 12-year-old girl!!!
The Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center said it is the largest crocodile caught in the Philippines to date,and the largest captive crocodile on record was only a mere 18 feet…this one is 21 feet,600 kilograms ( 2,370 pounds)!!!(Source)
“We will take advantage of this crocodile as a tourism attraction and we hope it will help us generate income and jobs,” Elorde reported to the media.(Source)
The crocodile has been named Lolong-after the lead hunter who planned the capture of the man-eater, Ernesto “Lolong” Conate,but died of a stroke days before the hunt began.
Lolong, the male crocodile was captured after 3 weeks of hunting, with the help of a heavy metal cable and at least 30 men.(BBC)
It is believed to be at least 50 years old, and it took roughly 100 people to pull the beast from a creek by rope and then hoist it by crane onto a truck.
The villagers are not at ease at the capture of Lolong, because there have been sightings of a much larger crocodile in the area, so they are not certain that Lolong was the one responsible for the killings.(CBS)
Experts explain that the destructionand intrusion on the giant crocodiles natural habitat by humans, lead to them feeding on human beings.If left undisturbed in their natural habitats, crocodiles are unlikely to eat humans despite their carnivorous nature, and that crocodiles turn extra aggressive during their breeding season from April to September.(Source)

The crocodile Lolong suffered no major injury in his capture, just a small abrasion on his jaw, so he is safe for now.(Slate)

As high and as quick as Warrant shot to fame, Warrant, along with several other bands of its genre, such as Poison and Slaughter, saw their star power quickly decline in the 1990s as grunge bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam moved into the mainstream.(USA Today)
They even became the object of disdain in a series of running jokes about how much they sucked,the popular 90′s MTV animated cartoon, Beavis and Butthead. All they had to say is that…“We like bands that are cool” and “We don’t like bands that suck”.
When they featured the video clip of Warrant’s hit ‘Cherry Pie‘ on their show, as THE epitome of a rock band that sucked,coming from the mouths of rock music’c most powerful critics at that time, essentially ruined their career.(Source)
Beavis and Butthead ruined the career of Warrant
Even though a side character on Beavis and Butthead , a dorky loser named Stewart, was depicted wearing a Warrant t-shirt, the inference about Warrant fans being like Stewart, were made fun of so much that they quit listening to Warrant or just stopped because Stewart made them all look like pathetic losers and posers.(Slate)
After that fall from grace, Warrant continued on performing in much smaller venues, in little towns,and with no record label support at all.They basically toured off of their past hits,to less than entusiastic, and sometimes geriatric crowds.
I had the opportunity to meet Lane backstage at such a show in a small auditorium in Huntington Beach in 1996, where a friend’s local garage band was the opening act for Warrant. Jani Lane was a cool, and gracious person to me,and when he did finally did hit the stage, he was slightly inebriated,but gave a rousing and professional performance,to the cheering crowd.

Lane eventually chose to quit the band in 1993, only to rejoin the following year. But he again resigned once more in 2004, and was missing in action for four years before eventually returning again.
That reunion lasted less than a year, before Lane’s third and final departure from the band.
Lane was known to have a history of alcohol issues, including a number of drinking-and-driving charges.
Jani Lane (born John Kennedy Oswald, later changed to John Patrick Oswald) is survived by four children — Taylar, Brittany, Madison and Ryan — and his wife Kimberly, as well as his sisters Marcine, Michelle and Victoria. (Source)

According to Wikipedia...Hatsune Miku (初音ミク) is a singing synthesizer application with a female persona, developed by Crypton Future Media. It usesYamaha Corporation’s Vocaloid 2 synthesizing technology.
Hatsune Miku Holographic concert is a visual delight!!
The name of the character comes from a fusion of the Japanese for first (初 hatsu), sound (音 ne) and future (Miku (ミク) sounds like a nanori reading of future, 未来, normally read as “mirai”),
…referring to her position as the first of Crypton’s “Character Vocal Series”.
She was the second Vocaloid to be sold using the Vocaloid 2 engine and the first Japanese Vocaloid to use the Japanese version of the Vocaloid 2 engine. Her voice is sampled from Japanesevoice actress, Saki Fujita. Hatsune Miku has performed onstage as a projection…(WIKI)
The vocaloid dynamo Hatsune Mika recently gave a rousing well received concert at the 2011 Anime festival in Los Angeles, California in the United States.(AUDIO)
..the rise of the Vocaloids is coming so get ready America…and make sure you run up and get their autographs…(Official Vocaloid Software Site)

James Craig Anderson,49,slain by some cowardly racist teen in Jackson,Miss.
….If he is put in the pen anywhere near any black inmate, he will most assuredly be a ..Ded-mon!!!…so we know he will be put in the protected wing because he is such a coward.Cowards need extra protection,when they can’t shoot you in the back.Typical of his kind,it’s probably genetic.
The"Help"-Poster-...looks like things have not changed for black people in Jackson,Miss.
On a recent Sunday morning ,James Craig Anderson,a 49-year-old auto plant worker, was standing in a parking lot, near his car. The teens allegedly beat Anderson repeatedly, yelled racial epithets, including “White Power!” according to witnesses.(NY Daily News)
Pastor Brian Richardson, of Castlewood Baptist Church,jackson.Miss.
...here's what your white power gets you...led around in chains by a black woman!@!!
The teens reportedly drove 16 miles searching for a black person to harass before finding Anderson outside his hotel,standing around minding his own business before the group of teens beat him, and then ran him over with the truck, killing him.

Hmmm…sound like Mississippi has not changed at all since the pre-civil rights days of the 60′s,…in some ways, it’s probably even more racist…
Ole Mississippi has not changed a bit,that's why they call it.."Ole Miss-stake"!!!
What the idiot gang of teenage progeny of slave owners did not know was that a surveillance camera was focused on the parking lot that night, and many of the events, including the actual murder of Anderson, were captured live on videotape.

Human trash...otherwise known a state hero in Mississippi...
Chances are high that in Mississippi, they will reduce the charges and try to give him a light sentence, say it was a random traffic accident, and get him off…
The coward on trial...Deryl 'Deadman' Dedmon,18...
…so much for post Racial America…the neocons are dragging us back into the Civil War….Be careful people, and watch out!!!

The death of Uncle Ben Parker could have been prevented before it happened by Spiderman...but he let the suspect go...just like the SDPD did in this case...
What happened next was like a scene from “Spiderman” when Peter Parker allowed a robber to flee, when he could have easily stopped him, and that same robber went on to kill his Uncle Ben,who was raising him, and waiting to pick him up from the “library”.(Source)
Black Audi...like the one used in the deadly SDPD shotgun attack
That same suspect who got away from the cops, rolled up on the unsuspecting officer in that black Audi, and aimed his shotgun out the window of his car, and shot the officer in the head!!!
..How cruel can you be???The cop was doing nothing???...and we need all the cops in San Diego we can get.They do not get paid at the level of their counterparts in other large cities, and they definitely do not get compensated for this level of heinous behavior!!!
“As far as we know, it was totally unprovoked,” Police Capt. Jim Collins said in a statement to the media.
“He was not attempting to stop the suspect vehicle. He had no idea that was the suspect vehicle.”
He was basically ambushed, and shot from behind by a coward…
Luckily for the community at large,…The cold-blooded shooting of the officer led police to track down the vehicle to a nearby apartment, a gun battle ensued and one suspect was fatally shot.(Technorati)
…thank God for that!!!
The wounded officer was taken to a nearby hospital,where he is fighting for his life, but it is unclear what his condition is.
“Their deaths are a reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by the men and women of our military and their families, including all who have served in Afghanistan.”(VOA)
