Lions, and tigers, and bears ? well, not quite.

They aren?t that dangerous, but Medina County fairgoers all week have the chance to see and touch the unusual pets owned by Chatham Township animal lover Terri Wise and her husband, Bryan.

And best of all, it?s free.

On Tuesday, more than 50 people got to interact with some of the Wises? ?cute and cuddly? pets ? a ring-tailed lemur, chinchillas, a groundhog and an angora rabbit ? and the ?creepy crawly? ones, like her gargoyle gecko, corn snake, legless lizard and panther chameleon.

?Mom and Dad,? Terri Wise said to the parents in the audience, ?I wasn?t allowed to have pets growing up, and now I have almost a hundred.

?Get them a hamster.?

She said most of her family?s pets are rescued or given to them. Very few are purchased, she said.

She and her husband run Our Zoo to You, an animal show company. Wise said she puts on shows all around Ohio, but prefers to stay in Medina County and the surrounding area.

?One hundred percent of the money we make from the shows goes right to the animals,? she said.

Shows later this week are set to include a fox, a 7?-foot boa constrictor and raccoons. Wise said she?s also planning to bring a coati, which is a Brazilian relative of the raccoon, and a kinkajou, which is native to rainforests.

Visitors to the county fair can stop by the animal shows at 2, 4 and 6 p.m. today and Sunday, and 3, 5 and 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

For more information on Our Zoo to You or to book the Wises for an event, visit www.animalshowsohio.com.

Oklahoma Woman Dedicated To Returning Photos To Tornado Survivors

BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma -

Cleaning up after an Oklahoma storm led to a local woman's new mission.

She helped out in Moore after the E-5 tornado ripped through, devastating much of the Oklahoma City suburb. Now, she wants to reunite owners with the family photos she found in the debris.

Brooke Porter just moved to Broken Arrow and didn't know enough people here to spread the word about the photos. So, she called us.

"A picture represents a piece of life and it reminds us about our past," she said.

Porter picked up all these personal pieces of Moore when her church group went to help clean up after the May twister. In the calm after the chaos, she came across so many tangible memories.

"I was just overcome with emotion and I saw this piece of paper face down and I thought, 'Oh, please be a picture,' and I flipped it over and it was two young boys with their dog, and I thought, 'Their mom wants this picture,'" Porter said.

She wondered how many more moms and dads and grandparents wanted their pictures back, too.

"Nobody had really thought about the returning of the pictures and I said, 'Can I? Can I volunteer myself? I would love to take these pictures home,'" Porter said.

She said she has the time and equipment to scan all 300 photos and she'll post them on Facebook to reach families.

"I'm expecting our first child and I thought, if I lost those pictures of our baby, I would just be devastated," Porter said.

Besides just photos, Porter also has an entire photo album, two Kodak reels, a passport and a golden locket showing two beaming boys.

She said she can't wait for the first photo reunion.

"I hope that they just have a little bit of home, that they can experience a little bit of joy, a tender mercy. I think that there are miracles all over the place if we just look for them."

Porter has created a Facebook page called Moore Oklahoma Tornado: Pictures Found.

She's also connecting with other Facebook pages dedicated to Oklahoma storm photos.

Egypt's ruling military kills scores of Islamists at rally

By

July 27, 2013

CAIRO - The Egyptian authorities unleashed a ferocious attack on Islamist protesters early Saturday, killing at least 72 people in the second mass killing of demonstrators in three weeks and the deadliest attack by the security services since Egypt's uprising in early 2011.

The attack provided further evidence that Egypt's security establishment was reasserting its dominance after President Mohammed Morsi's ouster three weeks ago, and widening its crackdown on his Islamist allies in the Muslim Brotherhood. The tactics - many were killed with gunshot wounds to the head or the chest - suggested that Egypt's security services felt no need to show any restraint.

?They had orders to shoot to kill,? said Gehad el-Haddad, a Brotherhood spokesman. The message, he said, was, ?This is the new regime.?

In Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry called this ?a pivotal moment for Egypt? and urged its leaders ?to help their country take a step back from the brink.?

The killings occurred a day after hundreds of thousands of Egyptians marched in support of the military, responding to a call by its commander for a ?mandate? to fight terrorism. The appeal by Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who has emerged as Egypt's de facto leader since the military removed Morsi from power, was widely seen as a green light to the security forces to increase their repression of the Islamists.

In the attack Saturday, civilians joined riot police officers in firing live ammunition at the protesters as they marched toward a bridge over the Nile. By early morning, the number of wounded people had overwhelmed doctors at a nearby field hospital.

One doctor sat by himself, crying as he whispered verses from the Quran. Nearby, medics tried to revive a man on a gurney. When they failed he was quickly lifted away to make room for the many others.

With hundreds of people gravely wounded, the toll seemed certain to rise, and by Saturday evening had already surpassed the more than 60 deaths on July 8, when soldiers and police officers fired on pro-Morsi demonstrators.

As the deaths have mounted, more than 200 since the government was overthrown, hopes have faded for a political solution to the standoff between the military and the Brotherhood, whose leaders, including Morsi, are imprisoned or preparing themselves for jail.

In a televised news conference hours after the clash, Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim absolved his men of any responsibility and made no mention of the high death toll. His officers, he said, ?have never and will never shoot a bullet on any Egyptian.?

He blamed Morsi's supporters for the violence, saying they planned to disrupt traffic on the bridge. ?We had to stop them,? Ibrahim said. The protesters threw rocks and fired weapons, he said, and a large number of officers were wounded, including two who were shot in the head.

Ibrahim also suggested that further repression was imminent as the authorities prepared to break up sit-ins that thousands of Morsi's supporters have held for weeks.

?God willing, it will be dispersed in a way that doesn't cause many losses,? he said. ?But God willing, it must end.?

Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who is vice president in the interim government, added a rare note of support for the Brotherhood from the country's new leaders, writing on Twitter that he condemned the ?excessive use of force? and was trying to ?end the standoff in a peaceful manner.?

Kerry called on Egypt's leaders ?to respect the right of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression? and to open an inclusive political dialogue.

?Over two years ago, a revolution began. Its final verdict is not yet decided, but it will be forever impacted by what happens right now,? he said in a statement.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke by telephone with el-Sissi, urging him to exercise restraint and ?take steps to prevent further bloodshed and loss of life,? according to a Pentagon statement.

The violence broke out Friday night after a day of large, competing marches by supporters of Morsi and his opponents expressing solidarity with the military. At least eight people died Friday, but there was not the kind of widespread violence that many had feared after el-Sissi's speech Wednesday calling for demonstrations in support of the military.

That changed around 10:30 p.m., when groups of Morsi's supporters left their vast encampment in Nasr City, marching toward the central October 6 Bridge, where police officers were stationed, according to witnesses. Several people said that the protesters had left the camp because it had become overcrowded, and that people had fanned out from the encampment along several boulevards. Others said they had planned to march through a nearby neighborhood.

The group that came under attack walked down Nasr Street, past the reviewing stand where President Anwar Sadat was assassinated in 1981, and the pyramid-shaped memorial to the unknown soldier across the street, toward the bridge.

?We didn't have any weapons,? said Mohamed Abdulhadi, who said he had joined the march, which was ?not violent.? More than 10 other witnesses confirmed his assertion.

The Interior Ministry released a video after the killings that it said showed Morsi supporters firing birdshot at the police and damaging property. It showed protesters throwing rocks, unidentified people wandering into traffic, and one man pulling out what appeared to be a silver pistol and firing it, although it is not clear who the man was or which side of the fighting he was on.

Mohamed Saeed, an agricultural engineer, said he and some of the other protesters had started to exchange words with the officers before even reaching the bridge.

?You know how it is,? he said. ?Some of us said some provocative things, and the tear gas started.? The protesters threw rocks, and the confrontation quickly escalated, Saeed and others said. The Morsi supporters feared that the police were preparing to storm their encampment, so they started building brick walls on the road to ?to prevent them from coming into the sit-in,? Saeed said.

An hour and a half after the clashes started, the police and their allies started firing live ammunition and pellet guns, Saeed said. Other witnesses said they had seen snipers on the roofs of nearby buildings.

Found some $10 Diamond Millionaire, bought two but they both lost. Nice start... It has the same prize structure as $1M Fortune, hope it plays better.(none of that 5@ $2 ridiculous prizes)

Also got some $5 Smokin' Hot Cash:

0, 0, $20, $15 - both wins were in the Bonus Game

I see a trend here, all my wins so far in Smokin Hot were in the Bonus Game. The prize structure is the same as $5 Calif Lottery Black, but it certainly plays differently.

Jon

We go there once a year with my daughter just for a change and have some fun in the Angels Flight..I had lunch at Grand Market at the Japanese place near the entrance on the left side once you get down the steps inside. I ate sushi...Wife and daughter are vegetarians so their choices are few so they ended up with some salad. To top it off we have lots of icecream at Jose's icecream at the end of the market on left side. I had the icecream first time about 18 months back when I was there and I was surprised with the huge portion and low cost. We 3 had 2 scoops each and paid like $8.

I got my lotto at Famima in the Two California Plaza building on top of Bunker Hill.
