New Blue Jays logo

It appears that the Blue Jays logo to be introduced next season has been leaked. The new logo loves very much like the franchises' first logo which was around when the team won back to back World Series. I like it.

Man tries to kill wife with grenade when she decides to leave him

A 44-year-old resident of the town of Zelenodolsk, the republic of Tatarstan, blew up a grenade in his own apartment after his 31-year-old wife said that she was breaking up with him.

The family drama began to unfold on September 18 at about 8:00 o'clock. The woman decided to leave her husband. She came home to pack her things. She arrived along with a friend of hers, as well as her husband's relative together with her daughter and granddaughter. The relatives were sitting in the kitchen when the spouses began to sort out their relationship in the living room.

The man was drunk during the fight. When arguing, he pulled an F-1 grenade from a drawer and unpinned it.

The man's wife suffered fragment wounds as a result of the explosion. She was hospitalized to an emergency care unit. The emotional man did not suffer any injuries.

Look what perestroika has created in Russia. Socialist would never have split up with a 7 year wait for an apartment. This is an old timer lamenting about the good old days. So he digs out a WWII grenade to make a point.

China bans dog-eating "carnival" after online uproar

The Chinese government has banned a traditional carnival in the east of the country in which dogs are eaten after being chopped up alive in the street following a public uproar that the festival was cruel, state media reported on Wednesday.

The tradition in Qianxi in the wealthy coastal province of Zhejiang dates back 600 years to celebrate a local military victory and is normally held every October, the official Xinhua news agency said.

"The ancient fair was replaced by a modern commodity fair in the 1980s, but dog-eating has been kept as a tradition," it reported.

"However, vendors began to butcher dogs in public a few years ago to show their dog meat is fresh and safe, as a way to ease buyers' worry that the meat may be refrigerator-preserved or even contaminated."

That is why I will never go to China, Viet Nam and neighbouring states. I will eat the occasional rib eye steak but I'm not chowing down on Lassie. And I'm not eating cats, rats, snakes, squirrels, or lizzards. I'd eat tofu before I eat roadkill and I hate tofu.

Parents use lawyers to evict 41-year-old stay at home son

An exasperated Italian couple has resorted to legal help to kick their 41-year-old son out of the house, in the latest case to highlight the phenomenon of Italy's stay-at-home "bamboccioni" or mummy's boys. The elderly couple's patience with their grown-up offspring has finally run out after what they say is years of cooking him meals and washing and ironing his clothes. They say the man has a perfectly good job and a steady income but has resisted all attempts to persuade him to fly the nest.

The couple, who have not been named, have taken their case to the legal department of an association for the defence of consumers' rights in Mestre, near Venice. Lawyers have given the middle-aged man, also unnamed, 10 days to find himself a flat, or have the case referred to court, with the prospect of more forceful action being taken to evict him. "We can no longer go on like this," the father said, according to Andrea Campi, a lawyer from the consumers association.

"My wife has developed stress-related problems and she's been in hospital recently. He has a good job but he continues to live at home and wants his clothes washed and ironed and his meals cooked for him. He never wants to leave." The couple took their case to the association after reading that it had experience in dealing with dozens of similar cases. Young Italians are renowned for their reluctance to leave home, with a study released last year showing that 48% of offspring between the ages of 18 and 39 still live under their parents' roofs.

Young male Italians known as "mammone", or mummy's boys, are particularly attached to their mother's apron strings. After the report was released, a cabinet minister came up with a drastic solution to the problem, proposing legislation which would make it compulsory for teenagers to leave home once they reached adulthood. Renato Brunetta, the minister in charge of streamlining the country's bureaucracy, admitted that in his youth he too was a "bamboccioni", which translates as "big baby".
