MegaZeux 3DS is a MegaZeux interpreter/emulator currently in development for Nintend 3DS by asie!
I Want To Forget is a Playstation (PSX) demo by Primitive released at Solskogen 2016.
The Gizzle Wap and The Strange Red Tree is a game for Atari VCS by Mountain King.
Deep in the JThainian forest, in the clearing where the Zazzle Flies play a Strange Red Tree took root over night. It made an unsettling hum and gave off a noxious odor poisoning many of the flies. Camy, the strongest of his brood sought help from the defender of the woods, a small bouncing creature known as the Gizzle Wap. He would know what to do.
The Gizzle Waps solution was simple: Remove the Strange Red Tree. But there was another problem. Coinciding with the appearance of the red tree came the Myrmica a race of mindless insects that feed upon the inhabitants of the forest. Even worse the Myrmica never come alone. They serve the Invicta. Unlike the Myrmica, the Invicta are cunning and tenacious. They will not be satisfied until they control the entire forest or see its destruction. The tree is most certainly their machination.
The plan to remove the tree and defeat the Invicta was not as simple. The only creatures strong enough to pull the tree out of the ground are the Pegsi. The Gizzle Wap would attract the Pegsi to the clearing with cloud fruit and convince them to remove the Red Tree. Once the tree has been removed, the Invctas magic will be weakened and their lair should be revealed. The final step will be to confront the Invicta.
1. The Red Tree spreads an invisible cloud of poison when you remove the tree from the clearing. The Gizzle Wap is not immune. You will continue to take damage until you find and reveal the Invicta's lair. You don't have a lot of time.
2. The final fight with the Invicta Prime is more dynamic. There is more than one way to defeat him.
3. Changed the score font to a custom font "Leaf" on both the title screen and game.
4. Lightened the colors of the Culex and the Wasp so they can be seen better on real hardware.
5. Added the Zazzle fly to the Final cut scene.
6. Tweaked the back round slightly in the final cut scene.
7. Added the Gizzle Wap's friends to the post attract scene.

SLACKER is a PICO-8 tribute to classic "stacking" game that lots of use wasted lots of time (and money) playing down the arcade. Coded by Liquidream.
Marat Fayzullin updated his Coleco Vision emulator ColEm for Android devices.
* Switched to OpenGLES2 rendering for accelerated video.
* OpenGLES2 is faster and allows for future special effects.
* Fixed GLES2 rendering on MTK and older Mali GPUs.
* Press X to apply changes, Y to reset them in Cheat Editor.
* Press X to apply changes, Y to reset them in Palette Editor.
* Now disabling Joystick Layout Editor on devices with no touchscreen.
This is a free, limited version of ColEm that may show ads and nag you to buy the full version. For the latest, full, ad-free version, with better joystick, network play, and the ability to share your saved game play with other users, get ColEm Deluxe.
GrafX2 is a drawing program dedicated to pixelart and low-color graphics. This program is dedicated to everybody who knows what a single pixel is. Its layout is not very different from the famous Deluxe Paint or Brilliance, so it will be quite easy to handle it if you know at least one of these programs. If you aren't used to the art of drawing with up to 256 colors, it will be a little more difficult for you, but you should give it a try (or more, because most of the power of this program won't show up on the first try). Then, you might eventually like to draw the oldskool way!
Retrobattle by Andreas Remar is made to look and feel like the classic arcade-style NES games, such as Ice Climber and Clu Clu Land. Not only are the sprites limited to three colors each, but the scoring, increasing difficulty, and setup of the game makes for a challenging arcade experience that mixes various oldschool concepts. Note that playing on Skill 1 is pretty boring compared to the havoc of Skill 8, so it may seem slow at first.
– Recompiled with ptitSeb's latest beta Code::Blocks
– Debug symbols are ON (they were already ON anyway)
– data/sfx/test.wav: the file is now 44 khz and volume is much higher (Thanks Farox for mhWaveEdit ! That tune was barely audible before…)

As Christians, Jason and David Benham say they would have laid down their lives to save those who were killed in the Orlando gay nightclub massacre on Sunday morning.
"Here's the interesting thing — we as Christians believe that homosexuality is wrong, and the [Islamic extremists,] they believe it is wrong. But our response is different. We've been going to gay pride marches for the past decade, and we're planning on going this year to the Charlotte gay pride march. But we're going to bring the love of Jesus, to people who need Jesus," the brothers said in a Facebook video posted on Sunday.
"Look, these are our gay brothers and sisters, and we need to stand up for them now. That's our Christian response. We're here to tell you that if we were in that nightclub there — maybe they are pulling people out, hopefully, we would have placed our lives in front of those," they added. more >>
What does it mean to "throw away your life?" It means to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, says Rick Warren, senior pastor of Saddleback Church in Orange County, California.
Citing Mark 8:35, Warren explains in his daily devotional that to "throw away your life," is to "submit yourself to God for his purposes."
"Only those who throw away their lives for My sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live," the verses read, in part. more >>
Franklin Graham, the son of famous Evangelical leader Billy Graham, has recalled a meeting between his father and boxing great Muhammad Ali, where the latter, a devoted Muslim, said if he were a Christian, he'd have wanted to be like Billy Graham.
Franklin Graham also wondered, however, about the state of Ali's soul, arguing that his Islamic faith would not have saved him.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, he shared a photo of a meeting between Billy Graham and Ali in Louisville, Kentucky, in June 2001, and recalled that they had met before in North Carolina in 1979. After that meeting, Ali apparently said: more >>
Young Earth Creationist Ken Ham has announced that the Ark Encounter project, the life-sized replica of Noah's Ark, is only one month away from its official launch on July 7 in Williamstown, Kentucky.
"I'm thrilled to announce that one month today the most authentic re-creation of Noah's Ark in the world opens to public at the Ark Encounter, and it will be a great reminder of God's Word and the Gospel," Ham wrote on Facebook Wednesday.
"So get ready to get on a shuttle bus beginning July 7 to take beautiful mile long ride to see the Ark at the Ark Encounter." more >>
Women who were virgins before they got married are the least likely to divorce after five years, but these brides are scarce, according to the results of a new study released Monday by the Institute for Family Studies.
The study also found that women married since the year 2000 who had just two sexual partners prior to marriage are surprisingly just as likely to end up divorced at the same rate after five years as a growing cohort of women who had 10 or more sexual partners before marriage.
And societal changes in attitudes toward premarital sex are partly to blame. Most Americans today, according to the latest studies, believe premarital sex is acceptable and are likely to have three or more sexual partners before marriage. more >>
A lesbian Episcopal priest who believes queerness is central to the Christian tradition and has published a book that claims "queer and trans experience has vast potential to help the church be the church," is being condemned by a theologian for turning "the sin of Satan into a virtue."
"We queers exist, and many of us have lives and sensibilities that don't fit neatly into heteronormative constructs. And honestly, that's a good thing. Our perceptions of our relationships and ethical obligations are at times of a different hue from the perceptions informed by heteronormative Christian ethics. Far from an ethical deficit, that difference is often shot through with valuable insight," argues Rev. Elizabeth M. Edman's in an excerpt fom her book, Queer Virtue: What LGBTQ People Know About Life and Love and How It Can Revitalize Christianity that was published in part as an essay by the website Salonon Saturday.
Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. a Christian theologian and speaker who serves as a permanent research fellow at the Center for Ethics and Culture at Notre Dame University, wrote in a response piece for Breitbart News that Edman misrepresents and omits important pieces of Scripture when making her arguments. more >>

We have a site in our network (Windows peer-to-peer) for some common tools, utilities, etc.
It is hosted on a WAMP stack on a a computer named "Server".
To reach the current site, users simply type "server" into their browsers, and they have everything that they need.
Now there's been a request for a task manager (Tracks), so we need to make an addition to our site.
Tracks is a RoR project, so I'm a bit out of my element (even moreso than usual ).
I've located many tutes and articles about installing a separate ruby stack, and even some about forwarding a specific domain to a Ruby project with Apache via VHosts ... but what about integrating it into the existing site.
Let's say our internal site has nav items for; Home, Reports, Schedules, etc .
We want to add a Tasks item right into that nav menu, and have it load the Tracks pages.
Naturally, users should be able to nav back too.
How do we do this?
(Or is there a better way than our little convoluted attempt here ??)

I saw a link on another website as I was looking around for someone to design a site for my business (small book shop). I sent them an email and they got back to me within a few hours to arrange a meeting. They showed me what they could do, and how much it would cost, and within two weeks they made me a small webpage about my shop with telephone numbers, a map and some info on.
It's been a handy thing to stick on flyers etc... and can give the address over the phone. The best thing about them… Read Full Review

Originally posted on One Jet At A Time | Last updated 5/4/13
This week, I thought I would move away from the past and look towards the future of our New York Jets. Last week's NFL Draft was full of surprises and always seems to leave us with more questions than answers. The Jets drafted two defensive players in the first round, but all anyone wants to talk about is their second round pick of quarterback, Geno Smith. Let me first say, that I happy that the Jets drafted a quarterback. The Mark Sanchez Experiment does not seem like it has anything left. As I write this article, he is still a member of the team and probably will be for the near future. I do believe that the Jets will move on sometime between now and the start of the season. It would be best for the team and I believe it would be best for Mark, as well. He would be able to go somewhere and be a solid backup, and in this league, a backup is usually needed and is usually loved by the fans. The Jets need to forget about the recent past, and find out some answers for the future. Geno Smith had a very solid college career for the University of West Virginia. He was projected to be an early first round pick in the draft. That projection proved to be wrong and he suffered through a long Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall. Without a doubt, he was frustrated and in some ways embarrassed. He would leave the building and tell reporters that he was going home and would not be there for the second round. You cannot blame him for feeling this way, and fortunately he realized that he should return the following night. After several more picks, he was chosen by the Jets with the 39th overall pick of the draft. Since the draft ended last weekend, Geno continues to be in the news. He fired his agent, after blaming him for his fall in the draft. He has made comments that he will be the starting quarterback and that the Jets will make the playoffs. Many people believe he is delusional and possible a "little nuts." They also believe that the New York media will have a field day reporting on him throughout the upcoming season. I'm not saying that what he has been doing is correct or even rational, but as a long time Jets fan, I really hope that we give him a chance. He is still a young guy, who will make mistakes, and don't we all? I don't know if I would have drafted the same players this past weekend, but we need to analyze them after seeing them on the field. A great college career does not guarantee a great NFL career. But an unknown player does not guarantee a failure as well. I don't know if I would have drafted Geno Smith as our future quarterback, but he is here now, and we need to surround him with players that will help him to be a success. It's been a long time since we were in the ultimate game, the Super Bowl, but the events of last week may be the start of a bright and glorious future for our New York Jets. We can only hope...

Spanish Bullfighter Gored To Death
A bull named Lorenzo gored 29-year-old bullfighter Victor Barrio to death today at the Feria del Ángel festival in Aragon, according to El Mundo.
A bull named Lorenzo gored 29-year-old bullfighter Victor Barrio to death today at the Feria del Ángel festival in Aragon, according to El Mundo.
A few months back we covered torero Jiménez Fortes, who suffered a gruesome and grave wound after being gored in the neck. Fortes returned to the ring this weekend in Vitigudino and once again ended up in the hospital after being, that's right, gored in the neck.
Torero Jiménez Fortes is in serious condition after being gored in the jugular at the Feria de San Isidro bullfighting festival. It's the second year in a row he's been gored, and—warning!—it is pretty gruesome.http://www.elconfidencial.com/multimedia/alb…
Summer's in full swing, and there are sporting events all over the damn TV. The World Cup has presented us with lots of excuses to gaze upon Thighlights, but are soccer uniforms really the most awesome uniforms in the sporting world? If not, then what sport has the best uniform? Time for some investigative journalism.
Three matadors were gored in succession on Wednesday at a major event of Spain's bullfighting season. Fearing more bovine revenge, organizers canceled the remaining fights.
Choice find by the good people at Longform: Ernest Hemingway's 1930 story on bullfighting for Fortune:
Today we'll celebrate The Best American Sports Writing 2013. Here's the story that kicks it off, Karen Russell's GQ feature, "The Blind Faith of the One-Eyed Matador":
This is the moment Fernando Cruz took a horn halfway through his abdomen, at a Madrid bull ring on Wednesday. Cruz received a couple of gores, to his stomach and abdomen, with both horns. If you're not a fan of killing animals for sport, maybe you're applauding this news. We're not about to call you evil for it.
Back in October, we showed you graphic video of a Spanish bullfighter slipping and getting gored. The bull's horn entered his skull under his left ear and emerged from his eye socket. He was carried out of the arena gushing blood and screaming "I can't see."
Remember this guy from last year, getting a horn under the chin and out the mouth? This one is like a billion times worse. Please know what you're getting into before you watch the video or view the (much more graphic) photo.
The money quote from this Reuters video about the annual "corraleja" celebration in Sabanalarga, Colombia:
Forty people were injured when a panicked bull made a break for it into the stands at a Spanish bullring yesterday, though no one was killed. Except the bull, of course. [AFP]
A Mexican torero got one look at the bull entering the ring, and promptly took off running the other way. The police were waiting.
You saw the picture, now see the video of Julio Aparicio's painful-even-to-describe goring. Shot in the "back-and-to-the-left"-style of the early '90s, this video is equally as excruciating to sit through.
Reader Dave sends along this picture of renowned matador Julio Aparicio. Yes, that bull's horn is doing exactly what it looks like it's doing.
Have we learned nothing from the Junior Seau tragedy? Omar Vizquel, the oldest non-Jamie Moyer in baseball, plans to keep in shape by bullfighting in the offseason. [USA Today]
The Spanish have invented a replacement sport for bullfighting, called "bull dallying." For those who hate seeing animals brutally tortured, but still want to watch idiots risking their lives for no reason. It still probably won't satisfy PETA. [Steady Burn]
A 27-year-old Spaniard (not pictured) was gored to death, when a 1,130-pound bull (that's him there) broke loose from the Pamplona pack and went understandably crazy. It's the first goring death at the famous bull run in 14 years.
Bullfighter Israel Lancho is in critical condition after being gored by his "opponent" in Madrid on Wednesday. I guess that in addition to the horns, you also occasionally get an eight-inch wide perforation in your lower abdomen. (Amazing [and graphic] photos and video below, so proceed at your own risk.)
Our story so far: PETA produced a Super Bowl ad that featured scantily-clad women doing naughty things with vegetables. Somehow, Sean Salisbury and Whoopi Goldberg got involved. Then things got weird ...

What a sad way to start the weekend. God bless this girls family and help them heal from this.

This was a hard story to read, with a death of a young adult dead. I send prayers to the family of this girl but hope that no matter how close the driver of the car she was in, that person goes to jail or gets a high dollar punishment. It seems that both cars were to blame, speed, and failure to yield are two very ignorant reasons to loose a child!

Tulsa needs to do something about red-light runners and drinking drivers. It is so sad to see a young life snuffed out in an instant like this. I cannot imagine the depth of the family's grief...prayers for them.
#7 Sep 4, 2010
Two of teenagers in this accident attend the school where I teach. The young lady who was killed was an amazing Christian and was loved by all. She is in heaven now praising Jesus. She would want you to know Jesus too. Seek Him out. He loves you and wants to save you. Micayla we will miss you but will see you again.
#8 Sep 4, 2010
prayers are being sent to her family & friends. And to the other two people in the car with her. May God heal and give every one the strength they need during this hard time. I lost a best friend our senior year in a MVA..she was alone..i know what her friends and family is going through. RIP Micayla..You will missed by all

Prayers for all involved.

you will always be in my heart forever. i'm sorry for never being there for you. you were like a sister to me deep in my heart. i'm going to miss seeing you in the hall ways at school and seeing your smile. i know that there is something greater for you. i will always and forever miss you. my heart and prayers go out to the family. For i know how hard it must be. I will always be there for you with support and incouragement. she was a good friend and lived a great life. I will miss you always and forever. My heart cries out for the family and friends. But with love and care i know we can get through this. She lived a great life and had a lot of friends. If you dont know her she was an amazing person with even a greater personality. She was a great student with high expectations. I love you with all my heart and my prayers go out to you and your family, friends. love, Erik

Stupid, stupid drivers. Drinking, texting, yakking on the phone. Driving is absolutley a nightmare in this town. (Probably everywhere else too..)

#12 Sep 4, 2010
They also need to do something about stop sign runners. I am seeing more and more of that and when I notice who is running the stop sign it is usually a Mexican. I guess they are trying to drive like they do in Mexico.
#13 Sep 4, 2010
I think people need to just pray. You can blame. But I will not bring her back. Pray for the two victims still fighting for thier lives. Pray for there families.
#14 Sep 4, 2010
You are a bigoted idiot. Drivers of all genders, races, etc. are guilty of running stop signs, lights, texting and yakking while driving, and driving drunk. It is out of control.
Have you been to Mexico, Bo-Dud-ley?

I've been hit twice from behind while sitting at a red light. Both were women, one white, one black, both were texting.
I saw a woman bounce off a curb and nearly overturn and she was white. And texting.
I wouldn't be so quick to blame Mexicans anymore than anyone else.

Sounds like the driver of the car was at fault, but that's the other danger of drinking and driving. Even if it isn't your fault, if you have been drinking, you will likely be completely responsible. And you should be, because you shouldn't be on the road at all!!! The other lesson is when buying a car, you are finding a balance between fuel economy and safety. Finally, when the light is red, STOP!!!
My sympathies to the girl's family, and to all those still living. You could be next, maybe that eternity question is more important than you think. Jesus or Hell! It's you're choice, because without Jesus you're not good enough to pass judgement, and there's no other way.

I pray that the two still fighting for their lives continue on fighting so they can live their lives teaching others and preaching to others how they prayed and survived a stupid choice! Driving has rules and because those rules are broken by people like this everyday, other lives are being lost! So what if it was a teeny tiny red light, or a teeny tiny one word text that needed to be sent or read, or that teeny tiny drink that they drank an hour ago! They will be slapped on the wrist with a ticket "MAYBE" but the thought of them living everyday with a mistake they made feels more satisfying to me then watching them die also.

so, it's not okay to blame Mexicans (I agree), but it's okay to blame women?!
I've seen people of all colors, ages, and genders driving distracted.

Hate to break it to you but Jesus is long dead and heaven is a delusion.

text: 000 FXUS65 KBYZ 270246 AFDBYZ AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...Updated National Weather Service BILLINGS MT 846 PM MDT TUE JUL 26 2016 .UPDATE... The scenario played out pretty close to script this evening across the western and central zones. Several pulsing thunderstorms popped up from Park County into western Big Horn County bringing some gusty winds and much needed rainfall to a few locations. As of 8 pm, the intensity of the storms began to wane, although a few rumbles of thunder and some occasional lightning may linger for a little while. For the rest of the evening, the high resolution models are indicating some redevelopment over the eastern portion of the CWA during the overnight hours. None of these storms should approach severe criteria. Singer && .SHORT TERM...valid for Wed and Thu... Several shortwaves will cross the forecast area through Wednesday night and this will generate areas of showers and thunderstorms. No real strong indications of severe thunderstorms, but there are some parameters available to produce an isolated severe storm here and there. For tonight, one shortwave has exited southeast Montana and has left subsidence in its wake. This has left the southeast zones mostly clear today. A weak shortwave was poised to enter the southeast zones this afternoon, but forcing was weak. MUcape was highest over the east, at around 1400j/kg. with effective bulk shear of 30-35kts. If a storm could get going over the southeast, may be able to get strong to locally severe. Severe coverage should be isolated though due to weak forcing, so will not mention. Another shortwave was entering western zones this afternoon and was generating a few showers and thunderstorms over western zones as of this writing. Jet divergence was working into the western zones and thus coverage should increase into this evening. High resolution models spread scattered storms over western and central zones through the evening. Shear looks rather limited, so severe potential does not look that great. That being said, could have some hail and strong wind gusts with cape around 1000j/kg. Timing of the activity looks similar to last night as the storms could spread into the east overnight. An upper ridge builds a bit Wednesday. The GFS takes a shortwave across southeast zones Wednesday morning, with heights rising in the afternoon. Timing of the shortwave and the thought of heights building in the afternoon would serve to inhibit strong thunderstorm potential Wednesday afternoon and evening. Another shortwave tries to crash into the building ridge Wednesday evening and this should generate another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms from western into central zones. TWH For Thursday, a shortwave disturbance will pass through the area in the WNW flow aloft on Thursday, generating a chance for showers and thunderstorms across the region. Cooler north and northeasterly flow will keep temperatures in the middle 80s through most of the region, and in the lower 80s further northeast closer to the better forcing and moisture. Can`t rule out a strong storm or two out east in the afternoon, though widespread severe weather is not expected. Dobbs .LONG TERM...valid for Fri...Sat...Sun...Mon...Tue... The long term period will start out with mostly dry northwest flow aloft. A weak shortwave could generate a few higher elevation showers and out east. With limited moisture around, and building heights aloft, not expecting much coverage at this point. West-northwest flow aloft backs to southwest over the weekend with heights building and conditions drying out. Temperatures will warm up as well reaching the low to mid 90s by Sunday. Wouldn`t be surprised to see a few 100s in this type of weather pattern so expect Sunday and Monday to be hot. As the southwest flow strengthens towards the latter part of the weekend, some monsoonal moisture moves in from the southwest above a deeply mixed boundary layer. This will produce a chance for mostly dry, high- based thunderstorms on Sunday and Monday afternoon. This will increase the concern for more lightning fire starts across the region. Model differences grow by the start of next week, though there is a signal for a strong disturbance to cross through or just north of the area on Monday or Tuesday afternoon. Wind fields looked elevated behind this disturbance so it is definitely worth keeping an eye on from a fire weather perspective. Dobbs && .AVIATION... Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue over the area this evening. Local MVFR conditions are possible and strong wind gusts are expected. Storms are clearing from west to east...with best chance of storms for KSHR...KMLS and KBHK overnight. AAG && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMP/POPS...

The Longest Fight: In the Ring with Joe Gans, Boxing's First African American Championby William Gildea

Many people came to Goldfield, Nevada, America's last gold-rush town, to seek their fortune.

Many people came to Goldfield, Nevada, America's last gold-rush town, to seek their fortune. However, on a searing summer day in September 1906, they came not to strike it rich but to watch what would become the longest boxing match of the twentieth century--between Joe Gans, the first African American boxing champion, and "Battling" Nelson, a vicious and dirty brawler. It was a match billed as the battle of the races.
In The Longest Fight, the longtime Washington Post sports correspondent William Gildea tells the story of this epic match, which would stretch to forty-two rounds and last two hours and forty-eight minutes. A new rail line brought spectators from around the country, dozens of reporters came to file blow-by-blow accounts, and an entrepreneurial crew's film of the fight, shown in theaters shortly afterward, endures to this day.
The Longest Fight also recounts something much greater--the longer battle that Gans fought against prejudice as the premier black athlete of his time. It is a portrait of life in black America at the turn of the twentieth century, of what it was like to be the first black athlete to successfully cross the nation's gaping racial divide. Gans was smart, witty, trim, and handsome--with one-punch knockout power and groundbreaking defensive skills--and his courage despite discrimination prefigured the strife faced by many of America's finest athletes, including Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, and Muhammad Ali.
Inside the ring and out, Gans took the first steps for the African American athletes who would follow, and yet his role in history was largely forgotten until now. The Longest Fight is a reminder of the damage caused by the bigotry that long outlived Gans, and the strength, courage, and will of those who fought to rise above.

The Longest FightIn the Ring with Joe Gans, Boxing's First African American Champion

He had an unmarked face except for a modest scar above the outer corner of each eye and a small amount of puffiness below the left—remarkable for someone approaching, at minimum, his 187th professional prizefight. He was trim, with broad, sloping shoulders, but stood just 5 feet 6½ inches and weighed about 140 pounds. A photograph of him taken in 1906 shows him shirtless, arms folded across his midsection, his upper body spectacularly muscled.
One August evening that year, Joe Gans rode a train deep into the Nevada desert. The newly built rail line extended south for twenty-six miles, the brief last leg of a trip that had taken him from San Francisco's East Bay up the mountains to Reno, then to a seemingly endless journey to Tonopah, Nevada, and on toward a mining boomtown called Goldfield. A group of settlers had named it three years earlier after prospectors had come upon yellowed rocks that held the promise of a great gold strike.
In thirteen years as a professional boxer, Gans had crossed the country several times by train. On different occasions he had traveled from the East Coast to fight in Oregon, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle. He had seen the desert. But it had never been his destination. And it never would have been except that he, like the prospectors aboard the train, was being lured across a wilderness of sand and sagebrush by a quest for wealth. They went for the gold. He went for the payday that came with defending his world lightweight championship. His glories in the ring notwithstanding, he was virtually broke.
The newspapers were predicting an epic encounter between him and Battling Nelson, a fighter succinctly and gruesomely described by Jack London as "the abysmal brute." Gans and Nelson would meet on Labor Day afternoon, under the desert sun. There would be no scheduled end to the fight. It would be a fight to the finish, usually when one man dropped and stayed down until the count of ten. Fights with no prescribed end could feel, to a fighter, like an eternity. They left most scarred. More than once, a manager threw a towel into the ring because he had no doubt that the next blow would leave his fighter dead. Sometimes the towel landed too late.
Gans anticipated danger. It came with his business and his skin color. He was the first black American boxing champion, but that achievement brought him more peril than renown. The discrimination that black boxers faced reflected American life. In 1906 racial injustice was far worse than it had been three and a half decades earlier when Walt Whitman recognized the separation of races as one of the flaws that made the country's future "as dark as it is vast." Gans had received death threats throughout his career, and he wouldn't be surprised to hear from someone betting for or against him at Goldfield that he had better win or lose as directed or risk not getting out of town alive.
No entourage accompanied him aboard the Tonopah and Goldfield train. It wasn't his style to make himself the center of attention, even if a black man dared to. He passed the time in thought, knowing that trouble was coming, merely unsure what form it would take. Only recently—quite belatedly, out of misplaced loyalty—had he fired his manager, Abraham Lincoln Herford, known as Al. For years, this burly, cigar-smoking white man had treated him as a serf, pocketing most of his earnings while posing as his best hope.
What little Herford left him, Gans gambled away. He was bad at picking winners at the racetrack, and he was a loser at cards and dice. He always kept enough money, however, to maintain a fine wardrobe. He wore three-piece suits with a handkerchief jutting from the breast pocket, white shirts with starched collars, a diamond stickpin, a loop of gold watch chain across his chest, and a derby when he stepped out at night. One of his outfits was especially celebratory: a pale green suit, Alice blue socks, and yellow shoes. Daytimes, he preferred turtleneck jerseys or sweaters, slacks, and a cap.
Appearances aside, Gans was as poor in 1906 as in 1896, when he emerged from his native Baltimore to seek the lightweight championship. If the heavyweight division was boxing's most prestigious, the lightweight ranks were its most competitive. A boxer could make good money as a lightweight. The division was filled with great fighters, and almost every one was vicious and unforgiving. Nelson, born in Copenhagen and nicknamed "the Durable Dane," was a brawler who could withstand the hardest punches. If knocked down, he could be counted on to get up and keep swinging as though he hadn't been touched. He hit below the belt, he held and hit, and he gouged eyes. There wasn't a dirty tactic that he hadn't tried.
Like prospectors out for gold, Gans would work with his hands, and his work, like theirs, would take time. It might punish and discourage him. The desert fed discouragement. So did Nelson, who was twenty-four and in his fighting prime.
Gans was thirty-one. He had been boxing almost half his life, and there were indications that his best days in the ring had passed. As he sought a divorce the previous year, The Washington Post paraphrased his testimony in Baltimore's Circuit Court No. 2, saying that even Gans himself believed "the zenith of his success had been reached and that he was now on the backward track … that he was about all in as a professional scrapper."
Gans's wife demanded $200 to cover her lawyer's fee and $25 a week in alimony pending the outcome of his suit. Gans explained that he was not only broke but also in debt to Herford for thousands of dollars with little hope of repaying him. No one could say that he was exaggerating his decline as a boxer and his capacity for earning money in the future, including the presiding judge, who awarded Gans's wife a customary $25 for her lawyer's work and $5 a week in alimony pending the court's decision.
Herford had a reputation for paying his fighters next to nothing.
Boxing was a bettor's province, and for years Herford had raked in money by betting heavily on Gans—not only that he would win, but when he would win—in what round. He often arranged to have Gans go easy on white fighters, enabling them to last a respectable amount of time so as not to embarrass them too badly. Gans had the talent to score a knockout in the round Herford ordained—and bet on. When Herford let him fight without restrictions, he was practically invincible. In time, Herford found fewer and fewer takers for his bets; almost no one wanted to bet against Gans. So he persuaded Gans to lose intentionally. One effect of this was to take money out of the pockets of poor blacks who bet on Gans religiously—and the thought tormented him. Six months before his trip into the desert, he admitted his folly to a newspaper reporter and vowed to fight honestly every time. Leaving Herford behind, Gans headed to Goldfield nagged by regret.

If you happened to stumble upon this book because you were interested in purchasing a biography of Joe Gans, the great Negro boxer and Hall of Fame inductee, then DO NOT make the horrible mistake of buying this pathetic excuse of a book! Just because a hack newspaper reporter tries to cross over into the "book" writing realm, doesn't mean that they are capable of making the successful transition from stringing a few paragraphs together for a newspaper story, to writing a full-length tome. This book unfortunately demonstrates that this "would-be" author is completely devoid of the skills necessary to pen a book length volume, and in fact, rarely has a semi-major publisher made a bigger blunder by polluting the universe with the mistaken publication of this book. Luckily for boxing fans and historians alike, there is already a superior extremely well-written & well-researched biography of Joe Gans available from all major bookstores written by Colleen Ayecock & Mark Scott, that is entitled "Joe Gans: A Biography of the First African American World Boxing Champion." Take my advise and buy the Ayecock/Scott Joe Gans biography, and bypass this inferior product completely, and I guarantee that you will be glad you did!
Just dropping in because I really enjoyed this book, and it would be a real shame if the unglued, hostile review that's listed first on this page actually causes anyone not to buy it. This book's a wonderful snapshot of a certain time and place in American history, tying together the settling of the Wild West, race relations, and sports' place in society in the early 20th century. Sure, maybe if you're looking for a strict technical boxing book, you might fly into an inexplicable blind rage like the other poster here, but if you want an engaging read on a subject which deserves the attention, then I highly recommend this book.
Well written - precise, candid, and revealing! A fitting memorial to boxing's pound for pound greatest
