Your Monday floods travel survival guide
JW: It looks like it's going to be a chaotic morning in Worcestershire tomorrow.
We'll be live on this site first thing to keep you up to date.
In the meantime, we'll be keeping this blog live until late tonight for your pictures and any more breaking news.
Here are some links you might find useful tomorrow:
What to expect
AFTER days of driving rain and winds gusting up to 50mph across Worcestershire the county is set to see yet more bad weather.
River levels are at their highest since the floods of 2007 and flood alerts are in place for the River Severn in Worcestershire.
Dave Throup, of the environment Environment Agency Manager for Herefordshire and Worcestershire, told your Worcester News he expected the Severn to peak in Worcester overnight.
Today the levels at the Worcester gauge was 5.36 metres and a peak level of between 5.4 and 5.55 metres was predicted overnight.
The story was a similar one down the river at Diglis where the heights were 4.92 metres and not expected to increase to more than 5.05 metres.
At the Kempsey Yacht Gauge the measurement was 7 metres. with a peak level of between 7.05 and 7.15 metres anticipated to take place this morning (Monday).
But Mr Throup added the area would see further ups and downs as rain in Wales worked through the waterways.
"It will be a very slow peak," he said. "It's very difficult to say when exactly it will occur and then there will be small dips and rises through the next week.
"There is more rain coming down through Wales. It's all building up round Worcester and Upton.
"It think it will remain below the levels of 2007 but certainly will have hit levels that cause significant disruption and flooding to property. I think we would expect to see that continue into next week."
On Saturday the Met Office issued a weather warning on roads across the county as they predicted further heavy rainfall and the alert was expected to last until shortly before midnight on Tuesday.
But it seems there may be some respite in the weather, albeit briefly, as forecasts show tomorrow to be a largely dry day with wind gusting only up to about 20 mph.
However by Tuesday the rain appears to be back in full force and it is expected to fall throughout the day and then again on Wednesday and Thursday for prolonged periods.
Roads around Worcester city centre, including the Worcester Bridge, are to remain closed during tomorrow's rush hour.
It's not known yet when the roads will re-open.

Hwicce says
I have to query the decision to close the bridge at all. It would be interesting to know the rationale behind it.
The outbound route - Deansway, Bridge Street, New Road is totally dry so there is no reason to close it. Traffic that would have come down Castle Street could have gone round via City Walls Road and then on to Deansway. It would have been longer but not as long as going out to Carrington Bridge.
The inbound route has surface flooding but the crown of the road on both side is only a few inches deep and was passable. All that was required was for cones to be used to bring Tybridge Street down to one lane before the junction and then funnel the traffic along the crown of the road. The same could have been done just past the Rectifying House. That way the road could have stayed open even if it is just for buses, taxis, emergency vehicles etc.
There doesn't seem to have been much thought involved more a knee-jerk reaction.
4:36pm Sun 9 Feb 14
honeystj says
If New Road and Bridge St are open and dry, WHY is the town bridge shut?
Both roads could easily be made into two-direction roads for cars, buses, vans only and at least some traffic could get through.
Tomorrow will be chaos for drivers.
Pomygranit: I believe you can still walk into the city, along New Road, over the bridge and up Bridge Street.
It was open to pedestrians earlier today.
But advice from all emergency services is to exercise caution and not to enter any flood waters.

Can you walk into the city at the moment?

rackedoff says
WilkoJ says it very well. The County Council should absolutely have had the foresight to be prepared for what was obviously going to happen, and to have had contingency plans for keeping the traffic flowing. But it's not just about posting (inadequate) diversion signs in (obscure) places. It's about recognising that there are other issues around Worcester like the road works on St Peters roundabout, that are exacerbating the problem. Simply tell them to cover their holes in the road, remove their traffic lights and get things moving.

Worcestershire County Council have released the following statement:
Worcestershire County Council has had to close many city centre roads due to high river levels on the River Severn.
Diversions have been put in place and the city centre will still be open for business but motorists may experience some delays and may have to change their normal routes.
Motorists are being urged not to drive into any floodwater as they cannot know how deep it will be and risk being stranded.
River levels are expected to remain high for the next few days and the diversions will remain in place.
Jon Fraser, head of highways at Worcestershire County Council, said: "River levels are already high and we have more rain forecast.
"We have had to close some roads and put diversions in place and even where roads are passable I would urge drivers to take care and temper their driving according to the conditions."
Dafydd Evans, area manager for the Environment Agency said: "We anticipate that river levels will remain elevated, peaking overnight and we would urge residents to remain vigilant to their flood risk.
"River levels will be higher than those experienced earlier in the year so further properties could be at risk of flooding."
A full list of the road diversions is available at worcestershire.gov.uk as are the buses that have been disrupted by road closures.
For the latest flood warnings or to sign up to the Floodline Warnings Direct service, or call Floodline on 0845 988 1188 or 0345 988 1188 or visit the Environment Agency website henvironment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/31618.aspx.
If you spot a problem on the roads, please contact the Worcestershire Hub on 0845 607 2005.

WilkoJ says
There was only so much the EA could do to prevent the effects of the flooded river on to nearby roads in Worcester city centre. But there was so much which the highways department could have done to reduce the utter chaos caused on the city's road network as a result of the floods and road closures. How could they have such a total lack of foresight and common sense not to recognise that roads would inevitably be flooded and not to have emergency measures in place in good time? As one on the above comments said, are they really that stupid?
Their constant incompetence not only holds Worcester to ransom, but it makes the city a no go area for motorists, more so on days like this. How much longer do the residents of Worcestershire have to suffer from their ineptitude?

Yes, those traffic lights at the St Peters roundabout really are appreciated right now (I don`t think!!!) Not to mention the lights by St Peters Garden Centre cutting off more escape routes.
It would be great if they could be removed for a few days but I suspect too many unfilled holes have been created.
A bit of foresight isn`t too much to ask from our highly paid "experts" surely.

Can we now expect the highways department to make a parody video about their roads being flooded, which affects the public, very much like their pothole video?
1:21pm Sun 9 Feb 14
saucerer says
I was in town this morning and total and utter chaos, thanks in no small part to the inadequacies (again!) of Worcestershire county council's highways department. From all the weather and EA reports, they must have know the level of the river was going to rise and affect some roads, so why on earth didn't they have any contingency plans in place yesterday evevning? They should have had signs out all around the city in good time saying Worcester bridge was closed, and even have signs on the outskirts of the city, so that anyone wanting to get from one side of the river to the other would had enough advance notice and could have found alternative routes rather than heading in to the city centre, adding to the traffic chaos. I mean, for example, a sign placed on the A449 southbound before Ombersely saying Worcester bridge closed could have meant that people could use Holt Fleet bridge if needed rather than going towards the city centre to only find out then that Worcester bridge is closed.
And the constant disruption caused by incessant roadworks has made matters worse. Why, again, didn't the highways engineers arrange for the roadworks, expecially those on main routes like Bath Road and Droiwtich Road, to be suspended last night?
Are our highways staff really that stupid? Their constant ineptitude makes Worcester such an appalling place to drive around at the best of times whiel also causing much frustration and distress amongst the public. This department needs a thorough shaking up.

Moltaire says
Can the highways department, for once, introduce some common sense in to their operations and get all roadworks in Worcester suspended or altered to allow traffic to get around while the Worcester bridge is closed.
Worcester's road network is appalling managed at the best of times dur to por road design and traffic management by the numpties at County Hall, but today is absolute chaos. Surely they must have known the river level was going to rise so why didn't they do anything last night to mitigate the problem and give motorists enough notice and put emergency measures in to place prior to this morning. It seems the solution to everything by the highways department is put some signs out, that's all. Pull your fingers out guys and try and show us all that you're not continually useless.
So, the once-in-100-year floods (1 in 100 chance in a given year) have occurred here in Worcester in 1947, 2000, 2007, and 2014 #ukfloods— Phil Randal (@philrandal) February 9, 2014

THE county took another battering last night as more rain and wind hit Worcestershire.
The huge gusts of wind partially blew a flat roof from two properties in Malvern.
The fireservice was called to the homes in Lower Howsell Road at about 3.16pm yesterday.
Crews from Malvern were called to the scene and the Worcester aerial appliance also attended.
In Worcester city centre the River Severn, which isn't expected to peak until tomorrow, is said to be at its highest in six to seven years.
Water from the river began spilling into Hylton Road in front of Cripplegate Park at about 4.30pm yesterday.
One lane is currently blocked.
The flood gates in Hylton Road are also up as water covers the road.
Other roads across Worcestershire are also closed or unpassable. These include:
Beale's Corner, Stourport Road, Bewdley
A442 closed between A449 and A450 Torton
C2022 Jubilee Bridge, Fladbury (also Brook Lane, Cropthorne)

i'm all for veggie themed tea towels, but in my former home the backspash tiles were rather ugly illustrations of tan mushrooms, tannish pink shrimps, and what appeared to be brown crocks of tan colored cheese.These "shades of tan" tiles were trimmed in a dull powder blue. I always tried to avert my eyes while cooking. very uninspiring. I gave up wondering why the artist chose those three elements. One theory was: drive cooks insane.
I love these "home sweet vegan home" flour sack tea towels that come in a cute green and blue option ... only $6.99. http://www.petacatalog.com/homepersonalbeauty/petafloursackteatowels/
Morels are mushrooms and are not vegetables.
But they are delicious.
#6 looks like a candle to me, not an apron lol
Heey... I did a same drawing like the tomatoes when I was a kid. I'll make reproductions and call them, "Tres Tomates". And sell them a bit cheaper. Like $85. Hahaha.
I'm not a vegetable lover so I have to share my favorite vegetable art. It's especially appropriate for the month of Halloween. It's old adn no longer available but I have a copy in my kitchen.
Crate & Barrel has a cute tomato dish towel for only $2.95!

Dan, I wish I could see the previous posts when adding a comment like the old site.Betty, you go girl! Who starts says nothing about Blake or Miller as an individual player. Basketball is a team sport. Use your advantage, you have a half court offense, and a running team off the bench. That doesn't mean you can't mix it up too. The only way Bayless see's significant minutes this season, is an injury. He should just bring a note pad to the bench.

I like Blake but his defense aint really all there... gives up a lot of easy baskets... Roy needs a little pressure off his shoulders... he was assist and point leader... I think the offense is gonna advance nicely.. Miller's gonna kill and help mold our team into a CHAMPIONSHIP SQUAD!!!!

They can't really cheat off Miller on defense either, he will punish you too. It's a win win situation either way. But imo, it's still Blakes job to lose, with Blake and Martell both knocking down 3's, other teams are going to have to use the 6 man play if they want to double Roy and LA at the same time. NBA scouts aren't getting laid off, they know the Blazers are a nightmare ;)Isn't it October yet ??

2 Stocks To $35 - Offering 15% Gains In Q1 2013
Richard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The popularity of mobile devices from Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Google and Samsung have long made semiconductors a target for those who love derivative plays. However, aside from a few 2012 standouts such as Skyworks and OmniVision gaining 22 and 13% respectively, investors have learned that playing the chip angle has not exactly worked. But this may not be the case for too long.
Expectations for a 2013 recovery seems broad among those with close ties to the industry. Not only are mobile devices expected to continue their ascent in terms of consumer demand, analysts also project better growth in telecom equipment and in the industrial end-markets. Likewise, if PCs actually see a boost in sales due to any traction gained by Windows 8, the second half of 2013 just might present quite a few surprises. With that in mind, here are a couple of names to consider.
Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN) – Price Target $35
Leading the way is Texas Instruments, a stock that I have always wanted to like but just couldn't. Aside from the fact that the company has been affected by a tough macro climate, two of its biggest customers (Nokia and Research In Motion) have been the two biggest laggards in a growing mobile market. The company could get no breaks.
The good news is Texa Instruments has figured out ways to beat expectations. Unfortunately, Wall Street has not cared. In its most recent quarter, the company posted net income of $784 million, or 67 cents per share on revenues of $3.39 billion – beating EPS estimates of 39 cents, while also topping revenue projections by $4 million.
That was good. But revenues declined 2% year-over-year, the fourth straight quarter of deteriorating growth. Consequently, the stock has been stuck in quicksand. But the company's solid market position presents good value. In 2013, management must figure out ways to harvest that potential. It can start by securing more business to reverse its revenue slide. It seems this is what the company has already begun to do by recent increases in R&D spending.
As rivals such as Qualcomm and Nvidia are ramping up their product portfolios and positioning themselves for a market recovery, the company's main challenge is to undo the trend of fallen orders and high inventories. Also, if Texas Instruments can continue improving its margins and operating income, which arrived 40% better sequentially and 3% YOY in the recent quarter, the company has a chance to open some eyes in 2013. As a result, I see a 15% premium above current value. The stock should see $35 in short order.
Avago Technologies (NASDAQ: AVGO) – Price Target $35
Avago hasn't been the same since reaching a 52-week high of $39.22 several months ago. The stock has made new lows ever since – dropping over 20%. The company has had a hard time convincing investors that it can grow outside of its two biggest customers in Apple and Samsung. Unfortunlately, its most recent quarter only highlighted the struggles.
Avago had a "mixed" end of the year. Disappointingly, revenue dropped 1% year-over-year. But on the other hand it was a 2% sequential improvement. Likewise, the company's wireless segment soared 30% - helped by strong mobile demand. But that was not enough to offset weakness in other categories such as its wired business, which posted an 8% revenue drop due to weak carrier spending.
As well, issues with profitability have caused more pessimism among investors - albeit more than is deserved. But Avago can't post 40 basis point drops in gross margin as it did in the quarter and expect to win favors. Remarkably, operating income still grew by almost 10% and the company made roughly a 2 point improvement in operating margin. This fact makes me like the company's prospect for 2013.
However, the biggest catalyst will be that in Samsung and Apple, Avago has over 50% exposure to the mobile market, which has yet to peak. Also working in the company's favor is that Apple has recently topped Google in device sales – exceeding 50% market share. With Apple projecting revenues of $52 billion in the January quarter, this now seems very conservative given that iPhones represent well over 50% of Apple's fiscal Q1 revenues.
Avago is certain to benefit from any momentum created by Apple. What's more, management seems to understand what needs to happen to turn the company's fortunes around. Moreover, investors should expect a rebound in Avago's industrial/auto segment, which saw revenue plummet during the quarter by 11%. The stock is worth a gamble here with a near-term price target of $35 – representing a 15% gain above current value.
Bottom Line
Both Texas Instruments and Avago are trading below their long term value. Although they are far from sure things, their market positions offer very limited downside risk. 15% may not seem that impressive, but relative to the sector's performance in 2012, which was 5%, these two are expected to outperform. It's going to require some patience, but these two won't disappoint when that inevitable industry rebound emerges.

Marriage, Perseverance Propel Away from Her
- Friday, May 18, 2007
Release Date: May 18, 2007 (wide)
Rating: PG-13 (for some strong language)
Genre: Drama
Run Time: 110 min.
Director: Sarah Polley
Actors: Julie Christie, Gordon Pinsent, Olympia Dukakis, Michael Murphy, Kristen Thomson, Wendy Crewson
Early in Away from Her, a doctor asks Fiona (Julie Christie) what she would do if she saw a fire break out in a movie theater. Fiona, who may be suffering the onset of Alzheimer's disease, hesitates in her response, then dodges the question by mentioning that she and her husband aren't interested in "all those multiplexes showing the same American garbage."
If you've ever felt as Fiona does about current cinematic fare, then Away from Her is the antidote. Based on a short story by Alice Munro, and adapted and directed by Canadian actress Sarah Polley (who starred in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and The Sweet Hereafter), Away from Her is graced with an amazing performance by Christie, and powerful support from her co-star, Gordon Pinsent, who plays her husband, Grant. Its depiction of a 44-year marriage union devastated by the onset of a degenerative condition may be smart counterprogramming for adults and older teens looking for a respite from the youth-oriented movies that dominate the screens each summer.
Fiona's troubles begin when she gets disoriented during one of her regular cross-country ski outings. At home, Grant hands her a frying pan to put away, and she places it in the freezer. Soon it's Fiona—not Grant—who begins reading up on Alzheimer's disease.
"Don't let a person make you feel guilty for your anger with God," Fiona tells Grant, reading aloud from a book about her condition while she's still mentally capable of grasping the impact of her ailment and the toll it will take on Grant. Seeking to ease his suffering, Fiona insists on being placed in a nursing home. She bluntly but lovingly tells Grant, "We are at that stage," and, "All we can aspire to in this situation is a little bit of grace." Fiona's faith is never spelled out, but her words, if only platitudes, are powerful nonetheless.
Things are bleaker for Grant, whose adjustment to life without his wife by his side comprises the second half of the movie. After a 30-day period during which he is not allowed to see Fiona, Grant discovers that she no longer fully recognizes him. His loneliness leads him to befriend Marian (Olympia Dukakis), whose ailing husband, Aubrey (Michael Murphy), is in the same home as Fiona. As Fiona deteriorates, she attaches herself to Aubrey, leaving Grant to wrestle with suspicions about the extent of Fiona's new relationship.
Chapter two of Genesis tells us, "The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.'" Away from Her, although not rooted in faith, is a beautiful screen portrait of what that means—of how marriage can heal our loneliness, and yet, because of human frailty and fallenness, leave us lonely again, as the mind and body begin to break down.
That fallenness extends to Grant's earlier days as a married man, with murky hints of his infidelity. Plagued by those memories, Grant wonders if Fiona's affection for Aubrey is her way of punishing him for his earlier violation of her trust.
Grant's decision to pursue his relationship with Marian beyond the platonic stage further muddies the moral picture of Away from Her. A shot of the two individuals in bed together, just after sex, is meant to be cathartic for the characters and viewers, but is disappointing in that is shows the violation of their oaths to love their spouses in sickness and in health.

Bundle up: Winter moving into Arizona
PHOENIX -- A big weather cooldown is moving into Arizona, with temperatures expected to drop into the 40s.
"It's going to be cold. We usually don't see these types of temperatures until late December," said Charlotte Dewey, a spokeswoman for the National Weather Service.
Weather watchers said earlier this week Valley temperatures would plummet by the weekend.
The cold front will pass through the Valley late Friday afternoon but it won't bring much rain. There will be wind, though, with gusts around 35 mph in the afternoon. Much stronger winds will push through the northern part of Arizona with gusts of 50 plus.
Saturday's high will be around 60.
The low Sunday morning will be around 40 in some locations.
The high country will "definitely get snow and cold temperatures," Dewey said.
Lows in Flagstaff and Show Low will be in the teens over the weekend.

#95 Air Jordan 15 Black/Varsity Red
The Air Jordan 15 released on December 11th 1999. The shoe was the first signature Air Jordan not worn by MJ after his second retirement. Despite no physical performance promotion from Jordan, the shoe was still carried out heavily by Team Jordan. Modeled after the X-15 fighter jet, many say the sneaker was ahead of it's time. This colorway was rereleased in 2007 but did not do well at retailers.

In 2011, infuriated Ryan Gosling fans planted themselves outside of People magazine's New York City office to protest that Gosling wasn't named Sexiest Man Alive and the title instead went to one, Bradley Cooper. But this year, fans aren't going to have anything to complain about as the 2012 title has officially gone to Channing Tatum. That's right, Mr. Tatum is the sexiest man alive!
If you've seen Magic Mike then you know that Tatum was a no-brainer for this year's recipient. (If you haven't seen it, well then, that's your loss.) In the movie, Tatum can be seen flaunting his hot body as a stripper named Magic Mike. It was absolutely the perfect role for 32-year-old actor, who used to work as a stripper prior to making it big in Hollywood.
Go ahead and do yourself a favor; Google Tatum's name and take a look at this guy's perfectly sculptured torso and angelic face. Are you going to argue with People's decision this year? Tell us what you think: Is Tatum the sexiest man alive, or should we pick up our picket signs and head over to People to protest again? Let your comments roll below!
