Walk, Run, Foxtrot: A Vegan Men's Shoe for Every Occasion
The following article was written by guest writer Sean Collander.
When thinking about switching to a vegan lifestyle, most people focus on what they eat and forget about other aspects of everyday life, like shoes. I was one of those people. However, after being vegan for some time now, I have been able to discover plenty of great options. Below are a few finds from my own personal wardrobe:
I was surprised to learn from a friend who has been vegan way longer than I have that most men's sneakers are vegan. The main (but not the only) thing to look out for is leather. Luckily, Zappos has an entire section dedicated strictly to vegan shoes, which is where I found these bad boys. (Not all the Onitsuka Tigers listed are vegan, but the ones that are vegan have "vegan" in nice bold font in the description.)
Running: It's good for you. You get exercise and fresh air, and you build up those endorphins that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The best part is that most shoes designed for this activity are vegan. HOORAY! Specifically, I chose to go with the Nike Lunarglide. Not only are they vegan, they also use crazy Nike technology inspired (I assume) by the moon.
Alright, so we've covered casual, and we've covered sweaty. Those were easy. When it comes to finding a shoe to help class it up a bit, well, that can be a bit more difficult. Unfortunately, leather seems to be the "go-to" material for about 90 percent of dress shoes. You always have your options with faux-leather (Alternative Outfitters has a few great choices), but I most recently found a great pair of canvas dress shoes at my local Urban Outfitters. I decided to go with the grey pair (they match my pinstripes), but you can also get them in tan or black.
Tip: If your local Urban Outfitters doesn't have these shoes in stock, ask to have them ordered for you in the store. They ship to your house, and the company will waive the shipping fee.
I have been able to adjust to a vegan lifestyle pretty well in a relatively short period of time. Shoes were the biggest hurdle I had to jump. And as I always say, "If in doubt, search it out" (OK, I just made that up). But it's true. If you are unsure whether a particular brand or style is vegan, the Internet can be your best friend. I mean, come on, where are you reading this?
Commenting is closed.
Agree with Objectuer. We can't get so caught up in protecting animals that we forget that they aren't the only beings harmed in the making of products. How can a person feel good buying a product that didn't harm animals but did exploit a child? I sincerely hope the author researched these options thoroughly and is not advocating for products that brought harm to humans.
I am a vegetarian (I don't eat eggs, though) who loves to play basketball, and I want NOTHING to do with buying shoes that contain leather or any animal products. Very unfortunately, there is not much of a market for vegan basketball shoes at this time. Obviously, it is good that an article about vegan shoes was written, but i really wish the article would have gone over shoes that can be worn for specific popular sports, such as football, or in my case, basketball. Running shoes are not very good for basketball, as, in order to be at one's best, basketball requires shoes that support quick cutting, the proper support for jumping with as much bounce as possible, and enough cushion for landing back on the ground. I have gone to major athletic and shoe stores, and they have had no vegan bball shoes (i.e. they all contained leather). I know there are vegan shoe stores, and other stores that have certain types of shoes that are vegan, but I don't know where I should go to get vegan basketball shoes, specifically. I need to write a letter to some executives of companies that actually manufacture vegan shoes, as well as to shoe store executives, to let them know that there is somebody, and hopefully more individuals, who want to ONLY wear vegan bball shoes, and who are passionate about animal rights. After all, companies that make and sell vegan shoes want to know that they will be sold and that there is enough of a demand among people who play a particular sport for those types of shoes for them to be made and distrubuted to stores. If anyone from PETA, or anybody else, has any suggestions about where i, or anybody, can go to get vegan basketball shoes, or at least shoes that are suitable for basketball, or about anything else I can do regarding this situation, i'd like to hear from you. By the way, I will never buy a leather basketball again, and have not bought one since I became a vegetarian close to 5 years ago, at the age of 25. Its really upsetting to me that so many nba players complained and whined about the perfectly fine synthetic basketballs that PETA tried to get the league to switch to several years ago. Sadly, a lot of nba players, and basketball players, in general, have their priorities seriously out of order, as they selfishly and pathetically put familiarity and their personal comfortability, with regard to basketball, over the rights of animals to live and not be abused. I will do what i can to change this dynamic, and continue talking about animal rights, and speaking up for animals, to my friends, family, and people i know who play basketball, etc.
How can a company that advocates against animal cruelty promote shoes made by a company that has an established history of human cruelty? Severe dichotomy. I can only hope that PETA did a thorough investigation into the production of these shoes.

Pendleton Kicks Off Centenary Celebration
February 23, 2009-- Home Textiles Today,
In recognition of reaching its 100th year in business, six-generation family owned and operated domestic blanket and fabric weavers Pendleton Woolen Mills is creating commemorative home and apparel collections for launch this fall.
Under its "Weaving America's Spirit Since 1909" yearlong celebration, which started Feb. 16, Pendleton is celebrating this milestone with new product collections and special events. The kick-off came with a re-dedication of the original mill site here.
"This is a time of both reflection of the many stories, successes and challenges over the decades, as well as our Pacific Northwest company's influence on American fashion and home products. It is also a time to look ahead as we enter a new century for our company," said Mort Bishop III, president.
"Our challenge in the sixth generation is to engage a new generation of consumers...We are positioned well for the next 100 years and look forward to continuing to design and weave not only the American icon and treasure -- the Indian trade blanket -- but our full collection of Pendleton womenswear, menswear and home products," said Bishop.
New to the exhibit here are additions to the Heritage Collection to honor CMB Jr. — a fourth generation family member. It features his personal collection of authentic American Indian artifacts.
Pendleton's new product launches for the fall include a collection of home and apparel goods that feature the special "Spirit of the Peoples" pattern created for the anniversary, including a commemorative Indian Trade blanket.
The company will also release a Holiday 2009 collection by NBC's Today Show Animal Welfare Reporter Jill Rappaport. Titled the "Pendleton by Jill Rappaport Collection," it will include coats, status bags, and other dog products that features designs inspired by three antique Indian trade blanket patterns. Proceeds will benefit the American Indian College Fund and the Jack & Jill Foundation, an affiliation with Tails of Home for educating pet owners on medical advancements, the company said.
Pendleton's commemorative collections will be sold at specialty stores, department stores and through Pendleton own retail stores, catalog and online stores beginning in July.

The early season hot bats continued for the CWC Bulldogs as they defeated Gallatin Co. 11-1 in their home opener. The team is batting .362 after the first two games. Gallatin County's starting pitcher was having control problems (CWC drew 8 walks). The Bulldog's T.C. Headlee cleared some of those runners with a 3 run triple in the bottom of the third to break up a tight game to that point. CWC's pitcher Brodie Brown spread out 6 hits in his complete game victory.
Somehow the Bulldogs continued their torrid pace of getting hit by pitches. They are now up to eight through two games. The crowd was very appreciative when Tyson Russell (who is now batting 5 for 5 for the year) hit a home run in the bottom of the fifth to make the score 11-1. Yes they were happy he hit a home run, but they were even happier that it enforced the ten run rule. They could find someplace warm to go from a game with temperatures that were cold to start with and proceeded to plummet as the contest progressed.

I am trying to dynamically pick an image to display in the sidebar based on the page id. It works for the most part. But....
I have install and tried to use three differnet plugins the enable me to have a text widget that executes PHP code. They all seem to work but none of them will execute this PHP switch statement correctly.
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/images/sidebar_img_<?php
switch (the_ID()) {
Case 11:
case 14:
case 19:
case 21:
case 24:
case 49: echo the_ID();break;
default: echo "1" };
It does not do the break. If I take out the default it works, if I don't it alwasy does the default even if it matches one of the other cases. So, I get the page ID and "1".
This seems simple, but I can't find the issue.

Ford focus 2009 (UK) Power steering seems to cutout whilst stationary and kick back in when moving. Is this normal. Power fluid is black/dirty. Garage changed fluid but only 'sucked out reservoir and topped up'. This improved feel temporarily but no change to cutting out at standstill. Could dirty fluid indicate wearing/broken parts? Thanks

I would suggest that your power steering pump is done or it might be the entire rack-and-pinion is shot as well. Power steering should be happening now at a stand still, not when you are moving. In fact, while you are moving, it may feel there is power steering because the wheels will move left to right and back much easier without the assist of power steering. It could be that the valve in the R&P which tells the fluid to assist is bad. If so, it won't divert the hydraulic fluid as needed to make the assist possible.

HATTIESBURG — Mayor Johnny DuPree has asked specially appointed Judge William Coleman to issue a summary judgment in his favor in a lawsuit filed by mayoral candidate Dave Ware regarding the June 4 municipal election.
The Hattiesburg American reports the motion — filed Monday — states that if Ware's allegations of voters casting illegal ballots and the mishandling of election materials were true, it would not change the outcome in Ware's favor. If 39 ballots contested by Ware were thrown out, the motion argues it would shrink DuPree's margin of victory from 37 votes to four.
Coleman will rule on the motions made by DuPree's and Ware's attorneys in a hearing Monday. The trial is set to convene Tuesday in Forrest County Circuit Court.

Easy home repairs
Jake Tyson, ''The Handsome Handyman,'' is back with some easy DIY home repairs to some common problems.
C: Basically, Sanders caved to the very party that didn't support him and that he didn't have a chance in heck to win their nomination. Rather pathetic if you ask me. He's not doing what's best for his supporters, he's doing what's best for the party. He's become 2 faced and even though the boo's were against Hillary, they should have been against him for not standing up for what he told his followers. After the events of the weekend, he owes the Democratic party nothing. The emails show they supported Hillary and would do whatever it takes for her to win and for Sanders to lose. He really should be angry and upset and let the party and his followers know this instead of turning his back on them. He's a sell-out!

Verizon 'Very Serious' About Making Bid for Netflix, Banker Says
Verizon Communications Inc., the second-largest U.S. phone company, is "very serious" about a bid to acquire online movie provider Netflix Inc., an investment banker said.
Verizon may kick off a bidding war for streaming-video pioneer Netflix that could result in a sale by Easter for about $4.6 billion, said Porter Bibb, managing partner at Mediatech Capital, in a television interview yesterday on "Bloomberg West," citing unnamed people within Verizon.
"I am hearing rumblings from inside Verizon that they are very serious about either Netflix or something similar," Bibb said.
Chief Executive Officer Lowell McAdam told an investor conference on Dec. 7 that the company aims to move beyond its Fios TV service into the streaming-video business.
"We continue to look at alternatives," McAdam said at a UBS investor conference in New York. Los Gatos, California-based Netflix has a market capitalization of $4.17 billion.
Verizon, based in New York, is considering an offer for Netflix because telecommunications companies are concerned they will shoulder the increasing costs of transmitting video over their networks as providers such as Netflix, Amazon.com and Hulu LLC decline to share their profits, Deal Reporter reported earlier today, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Steve Swasey, a Netflix spokesman, and Torod Neptune, a spokesman for Verizon, declined to comment.
Netflix, which offers subscriptions for video streaming and DVDs by mail, rose 6.2 percent to $75.26 yesterday at the New York close. The stock has fallen 57 percent this year.

Traffic crawling along. Thank God—or thank Chicago's taxpayers and competent-if-corrupt leaders—for extending the El's Blue Line to O'Hare fifteen or twenty years ago. A cab to O'Hare is $40ish bucks. The El is $2. So why would anyone cab it?

But, yeah, I fly too much, I'm part of the problem, I'm the reason it's going to be 80 degrees in Chicago today. But it still freaks me out.

Grey College vs. Affies Interschools
Historical Overview
The Rugby Teams of Grey College and Affies first played against each other in 1953, the same year that Affies' legendary Springbok Louis Schmidt played in the First Team. Since 1953 Grey and Affies have met 31 times with Grey winning 23 of these encounters while 3 matches were lost and 5 were drawn (74% winning record).
Grey's winning record against all other schools since 1966 is 94% while Affies has a winning record of 70% against all other schools which dates back to 1923. Grey produced a total of 34 Springboks to date and Affies 7 Springboks. Post-isolation Springbok counts (since 1992) are 18 for Grey and 4 from Affies. Over the last decade Grey and Affies produced the most amount of senior provincial rugby players (Currie Cup, Super 14 and Vodacom Cup) than any other school in South Africa.
While Grey has a better winning record at the First Team level than Affies, it is interesting to note the strength and depth of Affies Rugby where Affies has won (on several occasions over the last two decade) the overall rugby count of all rugby matches played during the Interschools day.
The Grey vs. Affies Interschools has now evolved to be one of the Premier Interschools in South Africa and is a reflection of strength vs. strength between South Africa's foremost rugby schools.
See below a historical overview of these two great schools:
1855 – The year in which Grey College was founded by Sir George Grey.
1920 – The year in which Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies) was founded.
1953 – The first encounter between Affies and Grey which Grey won 3-0. This match was played as a curtain-raiser for the Free State vs. Transvaal match during the inauguration of the new Springbok Park in Bloemfontein. The legendary Springbok Louis Schmidt (father of Uli) played for Affies's First Team that year
Louis Schmidt (Affies) Louis Schmidt (Springbok)
1956 – Affies and Wonderboom hosted Sentraal High School and Grey College during the long week-end of 31 May. Several newspapers remarked that the attendance of these matches exceeded the attendance of major club, universities and several provincial matches. This is still the case today.
1957 – Grey won 22-0
1967 – Grey won 22-0. Dawie Snyman (Springbok) was the Grey vice-captain of the legendary Grey College team of 1967. Wilhelm Landman (Grey School Captain that played Western Province and previous MD of Richemont South Africa) was Grey's fullback that year.
Dawie Snyman (Grey) Wilhelm Landman (Grey)
1967 Grey College First Team
1970 – Grey won 16-11. Dr. Pierre Edwards (headmaster from Affies and Springbok fullback) played for Affies and Robbie Blair (Springbok flyhalf) played for Grey.

1970 Affies First Team
Early 70's – Grey and Affies played regular Interschools in the early 70's which was re-introduced again in the early 90's
1971 – Grey won 19-0
1974 – Morne du Plessis (Grey) and Tonie Roux (Affies) played for the Springboks against the legendary Invincible 1974 British Lions of Willie-John McBride
1977 – Grey produced a record four old Boys (Morne du Plessis (captain), Dawie Snyman (vice-captain), Theuns Stofberg and Robbie Blair) in the starting Springbok team against the World XV of Willie-John McBride during the inauguration of the new Loftus Versfeld
1980 – Dr. Pierre Edwards (headmaster from Affies) played for the Springboks against the South American Jaquars of Hugo Porta. Morne du Plessis (Grey) was captain of the Springbok team.
1981 – Grey beat Affies and produced a record 6 SA Schools players which included 5 of the 6 backline players including the captain and scrumhalf, Conrad de Beer. Other players were Helgardt Muller, Andre Greyling, Gerbrand Grobler, Leon Botha and Scheepers Gouws
Six Grey players in SA Schools team – 1981
1993 – For the first time Affies and Grey drew the First Team match (26 all), played in Bloemfontein.

1996 – Affies beat Grey for the first time with a record score of 25-3 in Pretoria. This match was televised live on television. The 1996 Affies team has been regarded as one of the best Affies rugby teams in the history of the school and scored a record 146 tries that year.
1998 – For the first time, Affies won more rugby matches than Grey during the Interschools. The First Teams drew 23 all. The "Wit Bul" is introduced as the Affies mascot during the home match against Waterkloof.

2001 – Affies and Grey drew again (3rd time in 4 years). Score was 12 all.
2002 – The 2002 Interschools between Grey and Affies in Pretoria will always be remembered as the last public appearance of Hansie Cronje before he tragically died one week later in a plane crash. This memorable occasion with Hansie at the Grey vs. Affies Interschools was also captured in the Hansie movie.
Grey and Affies were very equal in terms of strength at First Team level over a span of 3 – 4 years before the 2002 Interschools since they drew 3 times during this time frame. The build-up to the 2002 Interschools was electric and it was the general consensus that the team that would win that day will be crowned as the unofficial top South African schools rugby team for 2002 and also over the preceding 4-5 years.
Grey had several future Springboks and provincial rugby players in their team including Ruan Pienaar, Bismark du Plessis (both Springboks), and Andries Strauss (Sharks). Affies also had several future stars such as Derick Kuün (Bulls), Pierre Spies (Springboks) and Jacques-Louis Potgieter (Cheetahs and Bulls).
It was an intense match with Affies scoring early on and still leading 21-3 at halftime. It was published in the media after the match that Hansie called his dad (Ewie) during halftime and told him that while Grey is behind, he is convinced Grey would win that day. The second half produced some of the finest rugby moments from Grey scoring several tries to win 46-21.
For the 5th consecutive year Affies won more rugby matches on the day in all age groups.
2003 – Grey won 33-3 in Bloemfontein and produced 5 SA Schools players –Phillip vd Merwe, Richardt Strauss, Adriaan Strauss, Steph Robberts, Alwyn Hollenbach.
2004 – Grey won 32 – 29 in a nailbiting affair in Pretoria. Affies (16) won more rugby matches on the day against Grey (11). Grey's First Team loose forwards were Heinrich Brussow (Springbok), Deon Stegmann (Bulls) en Richardt Strauss (Cheetahs).
2005 – Affies beat Grey for the second time in history in the year that Grey celebrated its 150th year. The score in Bloemfontein was 27 – 20 for Affies. Frans Steyn was the Grey flyhalf that day.
2005 – No less than 13 Old Greys formed part of the Cheetahs squad, including management team, that won the 2005 Currie Cup Finals against the Bulls at Loftus.
2006 – Affies won 18-13 in Pretoria. Grey won 20 of the 25 rugby matches played that day.
2007 – The 2007 Grey First Team was regarded as one of the best Grey College teams in history and beat Affies with a record score of 47 – 10 in Bloemfontein. The Ebersohn twins (Robert en Sias – both Cheetahs) and Coenie Oosthuizen (Cheetahs) played for Grey that day. This match was filmed by the Hansie movie crew to reproduce the 2002 Grey vs. Affies Interschools for the Hansie movie. Grey won 18 of the 28 rugby matches that day.
2007 – In the 2007 Rugby World Cup Springbok squad Grey College had the most schools representatives with five Old Grey players (CJ van der Linde, Bismark du Plessis, Jannie du Plessis, Ruan Pienaar, Francois Steyn). Affies had two representatives – Fourie du Preez and Wynand Olivier (Pierre Spies was injured)
2008 – Grey won 31-12 in Pretoria. Affies won 14 of the 28 rugby matches and drew 1.
2009 – Grey beat Affies 30-13 in Bloemfontein and won 17 of the total 27 rugby matches played (1 was drawn). The 2009 Grey First Team equaled the most amount of SA Schools players produced by one school in the starting line-up, namely six – Pieter Rademan (captain), Riaan Britz, Piet Lindeque, Jean Cook, Carl Wegner and Stephanus Kotze. The previous record was also held by Grey in 1981.
2009 – Affies had five players in the Bulls Currie Cup winning team as well as in the Super 14 Final which the Bulls won – Fourie du Preez, Wynand Olivier, Derick Kuun, Gerhard van den Heever and Pierre Spies. Also forwards coach Johann van Graan.

Maybe itâs because Iâm in the middle of âInherent Viceâ right now, but itâs finally occurred to me that David Lapham is doing a Thomas Pynchon riff with âDeadpool MAX.â The shifts from absurd comedy to way-too-serious action back to lunacy? The popculture references in the text and Kyle Bakerâs art? The general feeling that the text is mocking itself while also trying to be important and deep? Theyâre all hallmarks of Pynchonâs work. More than that, thereâs something in the style, the way that a scene between Bob and his thought-to-be-dead ex-girlfriend and handler of Cable plays out, her storming into his room and him lying on the bed, two flutes of champagne in hand, Hydra-themed boxers on... Itâs parodic and silly and completely sincere in its own way.
Bob and Deadpool are on an island off the coast of Peru to kill a child smuggler, Deadpool posing as Brad Pitt at a lavish party and Bob trudging through the sewer system. Things go bad when a former agent attacks Bob, and Deadpool is rescued from a group of guards by Cable, future love messiah and a man who wears a monocle. I love that monocle. From there, the issue becomes about the relationship of Bob and Colleen, Cableâs handler who Bob was told was killed by Cable, but is actually working with the former agent, believing that Cable is, in fact, from the future.
Thereâs a weird paranoia that runs through the comic as Bob struggles to reconcile his feelings for Colleen and his desire to stay out of prison by playing ball with the agency. Heâs caught between his heart and his horribly selfish self-loathing, unable to overcome the latter for the former. While Bob has been the focus of previous issues, this is the first time heâs come off as something other than Deadpoolâs punching bag. His relationship with Colleen is weird and complex, she loving and also mocking, he suave and completely neurotic.
By making Cable a former agent ala Deadpool, someone considered crazy and requiring a handler to keep them on track, that character suddenly makes sense in this issue. In costume, Cable looks as strange and out of place as Deadpool does. The panel where Cable rips off his tux looks outlandish, much like an earlier one where Deadpool removed his Brad Pitt disguise. Neither man looks like he actually belongs in the world. Bakerâs style is so focused on creating a specific look that itâs brilliant to make these two ludicrous, inane characters pop out visually. Theyâre considered crazy and strange and they look like that.
Itâs a world that draws heavily on realistic touches like Bakerâs spot-on Brad Pitt or Bob having a somewhat real face before devolving into physical absurdities and cartooning more focused on effect and feeling than accuracy. Itâs a world that looks sort of what Pynchonâs writing looks like in my mind.
Who knows, at this point, if âDeadpool MAXâ will cohere into something grand and amazing, but, right now, itâs a funny, moving, stupid, insane, ridiculous, ludicrous, messed up, over-the-top, weird comic that has me wondering if the Pynchon connection is just me or if anyone else is seeing it. Not that that matters, because itâs a great comic and you should read it.

Francis Parker School, also known simply as Parker, is a college preparatory independent day school in San Diego, California, serving students from junior kindergarten through twelfth grade. Parker was founded in 1912 by Clara Sturges Johnson and William Templeton Johnson, themselves recent arrivals to the West Coast. The Johnsons' nieces had attended the original Francis W. Parker School in Chicago, founded eleven years earlier, and sought to recreate the same progressive education standards at the original institution.[1]
While the institutions are both named after Colonel Parker, the schools themselves differ in their day-to-day operation as well as the structure of institutions such as the student government.[2]
The original Parker campus was established in 1912 at its current location in Mission Hills; a second campus, containing a middle and upper school, was established subsequently in Linda Vista.
Francis Parker had an admission rates for the Upper School of under 25% for matriculation into the 2013-2014 school year. Parker's main academic rivals are The Bishop's School as well as La Jolla Country Day School both located in La Jolla.
In 2008, Francis Parker was recognized in the Wall Street Journal for being a top school that sends its students to prestigious colleges[3] and in 2011, CBS Moneywatch named it one of the best Ivy League feeder schools on the West Coast.[4]
Francis Parker student Snigdha Nandipati won the 2012 Scripps National Spelling Bee title with the French word guetapens.[citation needed]
Student Life[edit]
There are over 75 clubs at Parker. Many of them, such as The eSports Club, Robotics, Academic League, Science Olympiad, History Day, Improv, and Math Team, compete against other school across San Diego County. Parker's Academic League and robotics teams went to national championships in 2013[citation needed], with the robotics team attending the FIRST Championship in St. Louis and the Academic League team attending the Quizbowl National Championships.[citation needed]
The school has three official student publications: The Scribe, the student magazine, The Calvacade, the yearbook, and BEMA, a literary magazine.

South Staffordshire Line
The South Staffordshire Line is a railway line that once connected Lichfield in Staffordshire, England with Dudley, formerly in Worcestershire. However, it joined the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway's line just north of Dudley Station, where it, in essence, continued to Stourbridge, in Worcestershire (Dudley and Stourbridge were later to become part of the West Midlands conurbation). The section south of Round Oak remains open for freight workings only, On 12 July 2013, in a suspected terrorist attack, a bomb was believed to have been detonated on the disused section of the line in Tipton, at Binfield Street, near Sedgley Road.[1]
The original line and route[edit]
The line officially began at Wychnor Junction, north of Lichfield, and ran through what is now Lichfield Trent Valley. Trains then continued through to Lichfield City itself. From there, a plethora of stations along the route were served. The line continued through to Walsall and a low-level station at Dudley Port. This was technically the terminus of the line but it was connected to the OW&WR's line which ran through Dudley itself from 1860. It went on to serve other stations at the south-western extremity of the Black Country at Stourbridge Junction.
Just before Stourbridge, the OWW crossed (and continues to cross) the massive Stambermill Viaduct which is one of the local area's most significant landmarks. It also crossed Parkhead Viaduct just south of Dudley and for several hundred yards passed through Dudley Railway Tunnel.
History and passenger usage[edit]
The line was opened on 1 May 1850.[2] This was soon to become part of the London and North Western Railway as far as Dudley station, which, in 1860, was opened as a joint venture with the OW&WR itself later to become amalgamated into the Great Western Railway. This station was built ten years after the original connection, however, and trains on the South Staffordshire Line ran from Walsall to Stourbridge fairly early on. Dudley provided a useful change point for passengers from Walsall and Stourbridge to Wolverhampton, though this wasn't utilised to quite the effect the OW&WR had hoped, due to the similar connection at Dudley Port by the SSR with the Stour Valley Line - which today forms part of the West Midlands section of the West Coast Main Line.
To the north of Dudley Port, a link to the Birmingham Snow Hill- Wolverhampton Low Level route was added sometime between the inauguration of the line and the opening of Great Bridge South railway station in 1866. All three of the above - Dudley Port, Great Bridge and Wednesbury - were completed in 1850, and the line was then opened accordingly. All other stations on the route - from Lichfield to Walsall - were in operation from 1849.
Passenger travel existed on this route from then through until 1965 with the fall of the Beeching Axe. Only one station closed in the meantime- Rushall being closed in 1909. The OW&WR portion of the line was closed pre-Beeching, in 1962. The line was used as a through route from Walsall right up until the closure of the line on 19 March 1993, mainly being used for freight duties at the Dudley Freightliner Terminal, which closed - despite being far more profitable than Birmingham's terminal - on 26 September 1989.
Traffic on the line, which had been declining since the 1970s largely due to deindustrialisation of the Black Country, continued to slump after the terminal's closure, and decreased the line's viability. During 1992, British Rail finally announced that the line between Brierley Hill and Walsall would soon close. This was despite the recent announcement of plans to utilise part of the line as part of the Midland Metro light rail network, as well as earlier plans in the mid 1980s for heavy rail passenger services to be reintroduced along the whole section of the line to Stourbridge.[3]
The section of railway north of Walsall had already been closed, with the last train using the route on 19 March 1984 and the track being lifted two years later.
The Brierley Hill to Walsall section of the line officially closed on 19 March 1993, nine years to the day that the Walsall-Lichfield line had closed. However, there were a handful of other movements on the line after its official closure, including a cable-laying train which covered the route on 1 July 1993, on its journey from Birmingham to Stafford.
The line from Stourbridge Junction to Round Oak Steel Terminal is all that remains in use, though virtually all of the track on the closed section towards Walsall is in place.
The line today[edit]
Very little of the South Staffordshire line is used today, although Lichfield City and the connection to Lichfield Trent Valley high-level remain as part of London Midland's Cross-City Service to Redditch via Birmingham New Street. Freight usage on the OW&WR portion of the route has once again become more common thanks to the Round Oak Steel Terminal.
In terms of infrastructure, nearly all of the trackbed still remains, and indeed so does much of the track. The closed section South Staffordshire line has gradually fallen into disrepair over the last decade or so, with much of the trackbed heavily overgrown – in some areas almost totally concealed by vegetation. Most of the OWW track between the Blowers Green Road and Highgate Road overbridges was removed in 1999 upon the construction of the Dudley Southern By-pass overbridge, leading up to the buffers at Harts Hill which mark the beginning of the line's closed section. A few yards of track just north of the Dudley Freightliner site have been completely removed, along with part of the track at Golds Hill crossing; this is believed[by whom?] to have been the work of vandals.
A number of fences have been placed along closed sections of the SS line in a bid to clamp down on anti-social behaviour which had been occurring. These fences are fitted at locations including the canal underbridge near Conygree Road, the entrances to Dudley Tunnel and the northern side of the level crossing near Wednesbury town centre. Mature trees can be found at many locations on the line.
Approximately three years before the line's closure, the signal box in Dudley was destroyed by arsonists, as was the signal box at Golds Hill crossing after the line closed. Another signal box on the active line (near Brettell Lane) was burnt down much more recently.[when?][citation needed]
Three bridges have also been built over the line since its closure. In 1995, a four-span viaduct was completed over Golds Hill crossing to carry the new Black Country Spine Road; construction of this road had actually started while the line was still in use. 1999 saw the opening of a new overbridge to carry the Midland Metro near Potters Lane in Wednesbury and another to carry the Dudley Southern By-Pass. The bridge carrying Tipton Road over the line was rebuilt in 2005, and a new overbridge was built in 2006 to carry the line over a new road on a commercial development north of Wednesbury town centre.
Currently,[when?] resignalling work is being carried out on the stretch of track approaching Walsall from Bescot Junction and the M6, due to be completed in 2013. This section of the line is being re-opened to be used by Rugeley Power Station, in order to avoid using Bescot TMD. [4] By November 2012, the Walsall end of the line has been completely cleared of vegetation - subsequently the line was relayed as far as the former Bescot Curve Junction to provide a run-round facility. On 18 November 2012, an engineering train ran on the Walsall end of the line, the first train to run on any of the closed section of the line for some 19 years.[5] Although re-signalled in August 2013 with the abolition of Walsall PSB remedial work meant it was not brought into use until the following year, with the first coal trains believed to have utilised it in October 2014.
The Future[edit]
Future re-opening of the line has been suggested several times in many different forms.
In the 2000s the plan for Line 2 of the Midland Metro, which would diverge at Wednesbury and follow the route of the South Staffordshire Line was put forward. It was planned this would be a single line venture. Any stops on the route (which would occur around the points of the old railway stations) are likely to be doubled as passing places. The Midland Metro plan was actually formulated back in 1992, a year before the line's closure. There were also plans afoot to reinstate the line to Walsall as a single freight line (frequency of trains along this route would never warrant a double line) to allow a quicker route to Bescot TMD, which is currently only traversable by means of a lengthy run through Cradley Heath, diverging at Galton Junction and then later at Soho East. One plan put forward was that of Railtrack in 1997 - which suggested passenger services may be laid on once more. This was part of a plan to give the Merry Hill Shopping Centre its own heavy rail link.[citation needed] These plans never came to fruition and are unlikely to - although it is clear[who?] that a heavy rail link would make the centre far more attractive to those from far afield. The line was first designated as a possible Midland Metro route as long ago as the late 1980s, when the whole line was still open but around the time that closure plans were first considered, with a view of having trams running by the mid 1990s.
In March 2011, the business plan for the re-opening of a route from Stourbridge to Walsall, was handed to Network Rail, with work planned to start by 2014, subject to approval and securement of funding.[6][7] The new plan is for tram-trains to share the line with freight trains, cutting overall construction costs. A quarter of the projects £268 million has already been found, with the owners of Merry Hill Shopping Centre, Westfield, pledging £36.5 million.[8] A decision from Network Rail was expected in the late summer but as of September 2011, a decision is yet to be made.
In January 2012, plans surfaced to run a passenger service between Stourbridge Junction and Brierley Hill, with stations being re-opened along the OWWR, including Brierley Hill. The service would be operated by railcars built by Parry People Movers, who built the Class 139 units which run the Stourbridge Town service.[9]

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 1997
Running Time: 93
Director: Buck Adams
Company: Sterling Pictures
Cast: Dick Nasty, Randi Storm, Missy (I), Kay London, Mickey G., Sophia Ferrari, Buck Adams, Tabitha Stevens, Tony Tedeschi, Jonathan Morgan, Lovette, Gina Rome, Tatiana (I), Vanna, Claudio (I), April Adams, Red (I), Mark Davis, Nena Cherry, Nikki Lee, Kiss
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
One thing we've noticed about Buck Adams films is that there are usually little autobiographical bits salted throughout. So when buck gets a heart attack after kissing hooker April Adams' tits, licking her pussy, fucking her mish-style and letting her ride his cock, many may remember AVN's gossip item on the attack some months ago.
Then again, did Adams really phone reviewer "Mr. Ross" at 4:30 a.m. and call him a "pinhead?"
Enquiring minds want to know!
The Adams/Adams scene is one of the best things about Filth, a film with high production values, some excellent sex, but a disjointed story. Buck plays a sex-obsessed, workaholic director being financed by mobster Tony Tedeschi. As Adams juggles call-girls, his assistant/housemate (Missy), his producer (Jonathan Morgan), and his film editor (Austin Moore), it's easy to see why plot elements might get lost in the shuffle. Add that Tatiana, the putative star of Filth, doesn't even take off her clothes until about 75 minutes into the action, and you can see why the rating isn't a bit higher.
Volcanic scenes include Missy being d.p.'d by Tedeschi and Mickey G., after she fucks 'n' sucks the pair in several positions. Then there's Dave Hardman's long on-stage anal plunge of Lovette during the "night club scene" that forms the "set" of Buck's new movie. (Sound familiar?) Finally, Tatiana gives Buck her ass as a birthday present, but not before she strips for him and rides his baloney pony reverse cowgirl-style.
What doesn't work so well is the "night club" orgy. Sure, there's plenty of anal, notably Mark Davis in Sophia Ferrari's ass doggie-style and Claudio in someone else's, but none last long enough to get the viewer off. And before you get your panties in a bunch, realize that the vast majority of the above cast only shows up during the two night club scenes, and fewer are identifiable in any sexual action.

Koreans are proud of their food and anxious for foreigners to enjoy it. Many Korean dishes are unique to the country, but some have a Japanese influence, as the Japanese occupied Korea three times. The liberal use of red pepper makes many dishes quite hot, but you can always ask for a milder version. Stroll along in an outdoor Korean market, and you'll find strange looking concoctions made from many different ingredients. Street vendors sell hot dogs and corn on sticks, but the corn is hard, not soft. Traditional Korean restaurants have chopsticks, not forks, so practice eating with them before you go.
Fresh Meats and Fish
Koreans shop almost every day for the fresh ingredients to go into their dishes. They carefully choose uncured pork, Australian beef and fish caught that morning. The cuts of meat aren't seemingly endless as they are in the United States. Pork comes in strips that look like bacon, and the beef is usually also cut into pieces. Some of the meats marinate in a tangy sauce. Two ways of cooking chicken are frying it or making samgyetang, a soup usually served in fall and winter. Each bowl has one whole small chicken, some jujubes and garlic. Koreans cut fish up to put into soups or fry it as a main or side dish. A favorite dish is raw fish, served with large lettuce leaves, garlic and red soy bean paste.
Rice is the mainstay of the Korean diet. Koreans prefer sticky rice, so that their chopsticks can hold it together. It is almost always served plain. Bibimbap is the Korean form of Japanese sushi with the seaweed wrapped around the outside of the rice, vegetables and fake crab meat. Rice is also used to make sweet treats for holidays and festivals.
Every Korean meal has several side dishes served with it. These include bean sprouts, seaweed salad, lotus roots, black beans (cooked hard, not soft), sweet potatoes in thin slices and cucumbers with a sweet and sour dressing. It's very common for Koreans to pick up some seaweed salad, for instance, and wrap it around some rice before eating it. Side dishes vary from region to region and restaurant to restaurant in Korea; however, you'll always find a minimum of four with each meal.
Korean barbecue is cooked at your table on a small indoor grill. The types of this dish are bulgogi (the pork strips) and kalbi (the beef pieces made of short ribs). Everyone at the table shares the grill and side dishes. Servers will bring more of any side dishes requested. All households have a rice cooker; often an expensive appliance that keeps the rice warm for two-three days. Huge stone jars are the home of the cabbage while it's fermenting into kimchi.
Fruits and Vegetables
Seventy percent of South Korea is mountainous, so almost all vegetables and fruits grow in greenhouses. Kimchi is the most widely known Korean dish and is pickled cabbage with varying degrees of red pepper. Every meal in Korea comes with kimchi. A squash similar to zucchini and butternut squash are the only two types grown and sold in Korea. Strawberries, watermelon, crunchy Asian pears and Fiji apples are the main fruits and popular with kids and adults alike.

Coast Guard's Houma unit get new chief
Published: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 24, 2005 at 10:38 p.m.
HOUMA -- Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Woodle was named the new commanding officer for the Coast Guard's Marine Safety Unit in Houma during a ceremony Friday.
Woodle replaces former commanding officer Rogers Henderson Sr., who was reassigned to Washington, D.C. He will serve the U.S. House of Representatives as a Coast Guard Fellow on the Congressional Homeland Security Committee.
Henderson held the commanding officer's position in Houma for three years.
Woodle, a Portland, Ore., native, has served in the Coast Guard for nearly 12 years. He has served as the chief of the Marine Inspection and Investigation School in Yorktown, Va., four years.
"This is a tremendous honor and privilege for me," Woodle said during the ceremony at Southdown Plantation's Buquet Pavilion. "I'm glad to be here in Houma. ... I am looking forward to getting to know the area."
Woodle graduated from the California Maritime Academy in 1992 with a bachelor of science degree in marine transportation and obtained a U.S. merchant mariner's license.
Woodle has also received two Coast Guard Commendation Medals, three Achievement Medals and several unit and team awards.
Capt. Terry Gilbreath, commander of the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office in Morgan City, said Woodle's wealth of knowledge and training will be beneficial in his new leadership role.
"He's got a lot of experience in marine inspections," Gilbreath said. "He and I will really have to work closely together."
Woodle has also taken part in tours of duty in New York City, The Netherlands and Alaska.

Charles Colson (left), President Nixon's notorious "hatchet man," who spent time in prison in the wake of the Watergate scandal before founding an international ministry and becoming an esteemed Christian leader, has died at age 80. Colson became ill March 30 while leading a meeting of Christian leaders at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in Lansdowne, Virginia. The following morning he had surgery to remove a pool of clotted blood from the surface of his brain, and while doctors were initially optimistic about his recovery, his condition became grave and he died April 21 surrounded by his family.
Remembering the "Amazin' Mets" of 1962Written by Jack Kenny
The "bio" of legendary New York journalist Jimmy Breslin says he "has been a columnist since 1963, when he won national attention by covering John F. Kennedy's assassination from the emergency room in the Dallas hospital and, later, from the point of view of the President's gravedigger at Arlington Cemetery." Small wonder, then, that he became even more famous as the chronicler of the New York Mets in their maiden season, with a book called Can't Anybody Here Play This Game? A man who would dig up a story from the vantage point of the gravedigger would be the perfect storyteller of the worst team in modern baseball history. The team somehow won 40 games in that 1962 season while losing 120, some of them in ways never before seen by the team's manager, Casey Stengel, who by that time had, by his own rough count, "been in baseball a hundred years."
Thomas Kinkade, whose sentimental paintings of country churches, cottages on snowy evenings, and peaceful glowing villages hearkened back to the goodness of an improbable America past, died April 6 at age 54. The devoutly Christian artist, whose mass-produced works were particularly popular with evangelical Christians and Americans committed to traditional values, "once said that he had something in common with Walt Disney and Norman Rockwell," noted an Associated Press obituary: "He wanted to make people happy."
Move over Tim Tebow. There's another squeaky clean professional athlete breaking out of the pack to inspire sports fans of all ages. It all started several days ago when 23-year-old New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin (left), who up to that time had basically sat on the bench, stepped onto the hardwoods to lead his team to a 99-92 victory over the New Jersey Nets, scoring a very respectable 25 points, five rebounds, and seven assists.
Just in time for the federal holiday honoring Martin Luther King, the U.S. Interior Department announced that it will change one of the inscriptions on the memorial that supposedly bears the late activist's words.

Two specks of light flicker in the darkness. Each are on opposite corners of my small universe, each seeming to waft closer at inopportune times, when my hands are so full I cannot take hold of its outstretched embrace. Neither provide enough light to see the way out of the darkness, yet each tempt me with the hope of escaping. There is another way out, there has to be – yet I cannot seem to find it on my own. Do I have the strength to venture out into the ebony unknown without a light to guide my way? I think not, at least for now.
My worlds are colliding. There will be a big bang, a time of reckoning, a time of renewal, soon it comes. Warning bells sound throughout all hours of the day and night, warning the citizens of my small universe of the havoc to come. Seek shelter. Gather your loved ones and all you hold dear as much will be ripped away, never to be seen again.
I am a scholar of my own mind. The holder of my secrets. The bearer of my pain. An epiphany, some genuine revelation, is desperately needed. A manifestation of God himself on my doorstep. Tell me what to do.
